Definitely something not right Gringo.
"We have no idea how this could have happened."
That is the reaction Israeli officials have been giving today when I ask them how, with all its vast resources, Israeli intelligence did not see this attack coming.
Dozens of armed Palestinian gunmen were able to cross the heavily fortified border between Israel and the Gaza Strip, while thousands of rockets were fired from Gaza into Israel.
With the combined efforts of Shin Bet, Israeli domestic intelligence, Mossad, its external spy agency and all the assets of the Israel Defense Forces, it is frankly astounding that nobody saw this coming.
Or if they did, they failed to act on it.
Israel has arguably the most extensive and well-funded intelligence services in the Middle East.
I agree, HB, which leaves us with a conundrum. If intelligence had indeed, "seen it coming", then why did they let it happen? It has long been apparent that "intelligence agencies" are not acting on behalf of their own government. In other words, they answer to and act on behalf of some other "authority". This is apparent from incidents such as the recent clashes in Syria between Pentagon and CIA funded "rebels"/terrorists. US Intel agencies fighting each other in their own "turf wars" in Syria
It seems, to me at least, that we have found ourselves in a position where governments act at the behest of shadowy intelligence agencies rather than vice versa. We were warned of this great conspiracy by many notable statesmen including JFK. Whatever happened to him?
He expressed that the we should, "splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds", then he got assassinated. Things have got much much worse since then.
There are amongst the Zionists many zealots who believe in and work towards "end time prophecies". We unleashed a very dangerous beast in the aftermath of WW2. Israel should never have been recognised as a state and the Zionist terror gangs should have been dealt with as the murderous scum they were. It would be the equivalent of recognising ISIS as a legitimate state on territory they held via terror and genocide in the present. Something that western governments have actually been working towards.
The inability and lack of agency of western publics to bring to being JFK's vision of, "splintering the CIA into a thousand pieces and to scatter it into the winds" has only delayed, rather than prevented, its demise. The "job" of splintering not just the CIA, but the many other bad actors and agents of finance and bankers, has been taken up with gusto by a wide alliance, all acting in co-ordination to finally destroy Imperialism.
The Empire will not be striking back when all is over. Their ability to be able to do so is being dismantled and they have lost control of events.
The big worry at the moment is who has control over the undeclared nuclear weapons of the Zionist terror state.
