It is David against Goliath. Except in this case, David is Hamas and Goliath is Israel. Both Hamas and Israel know it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What if Hezbollah was also created by the same villains for the same reasons, to create chaos and eventually war in the Middle East? They are the official protectors\u201d of Lebanon (similar to Hamas for Palestine) but, with their possible aggression on Israel, or their involvement in the current war, they will make sure that Lebanon will be one of the countries absorbed by Israel. Israel\u2019s massively US-military-supported IDF (Israel Defense Forces) may just crush Hezbollah and take over Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This plan is not known by most people. Netanyahu becoming prime minister again in December 2022, despite his narrowly losing the election, is a well-planned scam, supported by the well-known secret services and the Kazarian Zionists, supporting Israel\u2019s expansion throughout the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us not forget, Israel is the power broker for the western world. They control worldwide banking and corporate finance, communication, Hollywood, art, education systems \u2013 and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Already in&nbsp;1815, <strong>Nathan Rothschild<\/strong>, British financier and member of the Rothschild banking family, made his famous statement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets. The man who controls the British money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same Nathan Rothschild also infamously said, the time to buy is when there\u2019s blood in the streets.\u201d See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/quotes\/10764953-as-nathan-rothschild-had-commented-i-care-not-what-puppet\">this<\/a>&nbsp;and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/articles\/financial-theory\/08\/contrarian-investing.asp#:~:text=Nathan%20Rothschild%2C%20a%2019th%2Dcentury,there's%20blood%20in%20the%20streets.%22\">this<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is precisely a reflection on what we are living today \u2013 a limitless quest for superiority, no matter what it costs, in money and blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back to Hezbollah: Lebanon has also lots of natural resources, off-shore oil and a deep off-shore sweet water aquifer. Current Israeli territories have almost no fresh water, one of the reasons (among many others) Israel wants to take over the so-called West Bank, where about 80% of all the fresh water sources of greater Palestine (before 1948) is located and which Israel now is virtually stealing from Palestine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Palestine also has natural gas. The <em>Gaza Marine<\/em> is a natural gas field less than 40 km off the coast of the Gaza Strip. The deposits of the Gaza Marine natural gas field are estimated at 35 BCM, larger than those of Israel\u2019s Yam Tethys maritime gas field.&nbsp;See <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gaza_Marine#:~:text=Gaza%20Marine%20is%20a%20natural,is%20still%20subject%20to%20negotiations\">this<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Role of Al Qaeda<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the same spirit of Hamas and Hezbollah, Al Qaeda was created in the early 1980s. Al Qaeda is a Sunni pan-Islamist militant organization; an international terrorist\u201d organization which was to generate unrest around the world, as needed, to justify military interventions \u2013 mostly by the US and UK \u2013 and destabilization of otherwise stable (and mostly resources-rich) Middle East and African countries. Al Qaeda has also been operating in Asia \u2014 for example in Pakistan, where it supposedly was founded; also in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>U.S. Weapons for Hamas<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is no coincidence that weapons used by Hamas in this assault\u201d on Israel are of US origin, earlier shipped to Kiev to fight Russia. By now it is no secret that about 70% of US- and EU-supplied weapons never made it to the Ukrainian front fighting Russia, but rather to the black market, from where tracing them was thought to be next to impossible. See <a href=\"https:\/\/informationclearinghouse.blog\/2023\/10\/09\/scott-ritter-are-hamas-fighters-using-american-weapons-meant-for-ukraine\/\">this<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Washington and Brussels \u2013 the EU puppets of the wannabe empire \u2013 knew from the beginning about the deviation of a large proportion of weaponry to the black market. But they did nothing against it. Did they know this was a covert way of arming Hamas and possibly Hezbollah for a soon to come, well-planned hot\u201d war with Israel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazingly, since Benjamin Netanyahu had been made PM again, he had been advancing a judicial reform which was considered as damaging to Israel\u2019s democracy and devastating to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). Many potential recruits have refused to serve. Analysts warned that this might crack the IDF and its&nbsp;ability to defend the state.

They convened the so-called Washington Consensus,&nbsp;created in 1989, by the three key US-controlled Financial Organizations: Federal Reserve, IMF and World Bank.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The covert purpose of the Washington Consensus was to indebt&nbsp;the so-called developing world, beginning with Latin America (the US backyard,\u201d a Washington-coined term), to make them (fully) dependent on the US.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Loans were no longer development project-based but rather blank checks\u201d, according to a list of goodies\u201d that were to be purchased or built, and conditions for tranches of disbursements within a given timeframe but hardly any supervision by the lenders on whether the items on the list and conditions were fulfilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With corruption rampant on both sides of the aisle \u2013 lenders and recipients \u2013 money often disappeared but accumulated as debt in the countries\u2019 treasuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Washington Consensus<\/em>&nbsp;policies were applied throughout the world, with the same purpose. Through these policies and the largely dollarized economies of the purported Third World\u201d countries, economic crises could be created at will, and as needed, provoked, or accompanied by terrorist-caused chaos and upheavals to shuffle more of the resources, natural and otherwise, from these countries to the top, the US and European world elite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this economic domination\u201d and the terror created to cause unrest when needed, the control of much of the Global South could be guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Intelligence Ops. and Climate Change\u201d<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At about the same time from the 1950\u2019s to the 90s,&nbsp;<strong><em>Operation Gladio<\/em><\/strong> was launched by the CIA and other western secret services, especially in Italy, France and Germany, to wipe out or convert the then-strong socialist and left movements. They were literally disabled in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 1980s, overlapping with the annihilation of the left, the Green Movement took hold in Europe and later in the US. Leaders were Greenpeace, the World Wild Life Fund, Friends of the Earth \u2013 among many \u2013 gradually converting the minds of the left into defending nature, fighting so-called Ozone holes, Climate Change\u201d and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro attended by 172 nations,&nbsp;the cornerstone for what has since become the climate change\u201d movement with the ensuing so far about 27 COPs, had been set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>COP stands for Conference of the Parties,\u201d meaning those countries who joined are party to,\u201d and belong to the international treaty called the&nbsp;U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change &nbsp;(UNFCCC).&nbsp;See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.are.admin.ch\/are\/en\/home\/sustainable-development\/sustainability-policy\/2030agenda\/un-_-milestones-in-sustainable-development\/1992--un-conference-on-environment-and-development--rio-de-janei.html#:~:text=In%201992%2C%20172%20nations%20met,environmental%2C%20economic%20and%20social%20problems\">this<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Climate Change\u201d \u2014 the all-infiltrating <em>climate change agenda<\/em> has since become a religion. The social and mind manipulation necessary to make it a religion is largely the achievement of the Tavistock Institute for Social Engineering based in the UK, in close collaboration with DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), a military-security and intelligence thinktank linked to the Pentagon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conversion from socialist thinking to green thinking is also mostly the work of Tavistock and DARPA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the 1940s, Tavistock and DARPA \u2013 and possibly others \u2013 have gained scientific knowledge on how humans\u2019 psyche and social behavior tick to bend and influence\u201d them, according to the needs of the elite and wannabe One World Order (OWO) gurus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Cold War and Its Aftermath<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main precursors to this sequence of events was the Club of Rome, a first informal meeting took place in Rome in 1956. It was then overshadowed by the Cold War, which was supposed to squash the already WWII-weakened Soviet Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/bis.jpg\"><\/a>The US funded Hitler\u2019s war to fight the USSR, the main purpose of WWII.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It failed miserably. The funding came directly from the US Fed via the <strong>Basel-based Bank for International Settlement (BIS \u2013 Rothschild controlled)<\/strong>, located just a few kilometres &nbsp;from the German border, making for easy transfer to the German Reichsbank, at that time in suitcases full of cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first President of the BIS was a former Deputy Chairman of the Fed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since this approach to conquer Russia (USSR) failed, the Cold War was introduced under totally false pretenses. It eventually succeeded, temporarily (from 1991 to 1999) to break the Soviet Union, with the collaboration of the corrupted Yeltsin Government, compliments of Washington. Then <strong>Vladimir Puti<\/strong>n arrived on the scene to salvage his country.&nbsp;He has done so astonishingly well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The West is in steep decline and will not be able to conquer Russia nor China. They have different profiles of ethics, morale, and humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Club of Rome<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The formal creation of the <strong>Club of Rome (COR), a Rockefeller idea (not European)<\/strong>, took place in 1968 in Rome. The COR is since headquartered in Winterthur, Switzerland, along with many other dubious organizations protected by generous Swiss legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the beginning, the COR was pushing for a United Europe but never a sovereign European Federation \u00e0 la US of A, with their own Constitution, lest Washington would not be able to control her (the European Union).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EU must have a common currency, the little sister of the US dollar (same principle, made of thin air), which, of course, the founders knew would not work. A single currency for the 19 of the 27 countries, with different legislation, economies, cultures, languages, and no common Constitution, i.e., monetary policy and legislation, is bound to fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The break-up of the EU is just a matter of time. It will blend in with the rest of the chaos which is ever rising, with accelerating speed, and causing millions of deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An estimated 25 to 30 million people perished since WWII caused by US-initiated conflicts and wars around the globe. The Israel-Palestine confrontation is just the latest of such killing machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many analysts warn about a nuclear WWIII. They did so with Ukraine, and now again with this deadly Israel-Palestine conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are already in WWIII, just not nuclear. Nuclear is no longer necessary, as it might destroy most of modern infrastructure, life on earth \u2013 all the things the wannabe reigning&nbsp;elite covets. And who knows, they may risk their own lives with a potential nuclear confrontation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today\u2019s bio-warfare, Directed Energy Weapons (DEW \u2013 see Maui, Hawaii, and California) and not least, geoengineering the climate \u2013 to destroy in a targeted way food crops, infrastructure, and housing around the world, with extreme heat waves, flooding, hurricanes and even earthquakes, can do at least as much damage in terms of famine, misery and death, as a nuclear war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, with a Tavistock-engineered mind, the damage is easily being ascribed to climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1972, the COR issued the infamous <em>Limits to Growth<\/em>\u201d report, which as of this day is the blueprint for the WEF\u2019s Great Reset and the UN Agenda 2030 with one of the key objectives: reducing massively the world population, also called useless eaters\u201d, by Israeli professor <strong>Yuval Noah Hariri<\/strong>, Klaus Schwab\u2019s close advisor. Gigantic population reduction is one of the main goals of the WEF\u2019s Great Reset and the interlinked UN Agenda 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The UN-WEF Pact of Cooperation<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/UN-WEF-partnership.jpeg\"><\/a>In 2019, WEF Chairman, <strong>Klaus Schwab,<\/strong> and UN Secretary General, <strong>Antonio Guterres<\/strong>, signed a Pact of Cooperation that is illegal, immoral, and a huge conflict of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Image left, Klaus Schwab and UNSG Antonio Guterres&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UN is no longer a trustworthy 193-member international organization, created in 1945 to foster world peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays, illegality as we knew it, does not count anymore.
