Israel's "Middle East, secured!" campaign continues - [PEACE]

[Zig the N.g]

Lebanon is one of General Wesley Clark’s notorious 7 countries in 5 years:

, as Pepe Escobar points out:

along with a surprisingly identical bomb after effect of a new bomb tested by Israel in Syria in January 2020:

[in French - see escobar's piece for a summaly in English, but see that link for images comparing and showing the high similarity of the blast effects of these two bombs]


Speaking of wicked webs...

Lots more datails in the Escobar's "Who profits" article.

Sometimes Trump ought consider that when he speaks WITH HIS GENERALS, perhaps he should ACTUALLY ASK THEM what they think might be worth communicating to the public, BEFORE communicating with the public.  If he really believes that they are "great generals", surely he should seek their advice a little more?  One imagines that the generals may finally have had a wake up call that Trump tends to tweet out the other ear, what comes in the one ear...  better late than never I guess (that the generals realise Trump's nature).

Also, a piece of degraded metal which falls, may strike other metal and cause a spark.
