The Elimination of Mohammad Deif —— Intelligence In a rare event on July 13, 2024, Mohammad Deif, the elusive and influential leader of Hamas’ military wing, emerged from tunnels in the Khan Yunis, his birthplace and stronghold, to meet with Rafa'a Salameh, the commander of the Khan Yunis brigade, in the vicinity of West Khan Yunis. According to Saudi sources, an intelligence coup within his inner security circle led to someone providing critical information about his movements to Israel. The ensuing operation, involving both signals intelligence (SIGINT) and such human intelligence (HUMINT), presented a rare opportunity for his elimination. Speaking at the Palmachim Airbase, the IDF Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Herzl Halevi, revealed today that the combined “advanced intelligence capabilities of the ISA and the Intelligence Directorate (J2) and the very high-quality planning and implementation capabilities of the Israeli Air Force” made the operation possible. The operation was conducted with an extraordinary level of secrecy. To minimize the risk of a leak, the Israeli forces did not notify their U.S. counterparts about the operation. This rare level of operational security underlined the importance and high stakes associated with the mission to eliminate Deif. Known for his elusiveness, Deif rarely emerged from his tunnels, making each appearance a rare and critical opportunity for Israeli intelligence. His complacency likely stemmed from ongoing hostage negotiations and the designation of West Khan Yunis as a safe zone. This sense of security led him to believe he could exploit a window to move freely in an area densely populated with 80,000 refugees, assuming the IDF would avoid targeting him there. Israel had previously refrained from targeting Deif in the deep tunnels of Khan Yunis, wary he might survive such an attack. Salameh did not meet Deif in the tunnels to avoid compromising Deif’s hiding place. As the commander of Hamas’ military operations, Deif was issuing directives for continued activities in Khan Yunis, likely discussing another impending Hamas operation with Salameh. Following the strike, Prime Minister Netanyahu shared in his press conference that, “At midnight, when the head of the Shin Bet presented to me the details of the operation, I wanted to know three things: that according to the intelligence there are no hostages in their vicinity, the extent of the collateral damage, and the type of weapons in the attack. When I received answers that reassured me, I approved the action.” —— The Strikes The initial strike precisely targeted the section of the building where Rafa'a Salameh and Mohammad Deif were located. A second bomb then demolished the entire structure. The IDF implemented a belt of fire around the strike sector to thwart any rescue efforts. A bunker-penetrating ordnance was deployed to ensure no escape via tunnels beneath the compound. This operation reportedly involved the largest amount of explosives ever used in an Israeli targeted elimination. The kill zone is estimated to have a 50-meter radius. Videos from the scene depict individuals buried under three meters of dirt up to 40 meters away from the explosion. The primary cause of death was the explosive blast within a 100-meter diameter of the epicenter, while beyond that, some were buried alive by debris. Damage from debris extended as far as 100 meters from the strike epicenter. “Mohammed Deif was afraid to die, so he hid in a way that even damaged his ability to command,” explained IDF Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Herzl Halevi in remarks delivered today. “He hid behind and sacrificed the people and civilians around him, using them as shields, though very few were harmed,” added the Chief of Staff. There are rumors that Deif’s body is being held in a hospital in Khan Yunis. However, as Chief of Staff Halevi noted, “It is still too early to conclude the results of the strike, which Hamas is trying to conceal.” The Chief of Staff emphasized that “according to the intelligence available to us at the time of the strike, there were no hostages in the compound. According to the information that emerged after the strike, no hostages were harmed.” —— Implications Mohammad Sinwar, the younger brother of Yahya Sinwar, the commander of the southern Gaza Strip, is expected to succeed Deif as the head of Hamas’ military wing. This event signifies a major blow to Hamas, with only the Sinwar brothers, the Rafah Brigade, and the Gaza Brigade remaining operational. The death of Mohammad Deif impacts not only the operational capabilities of Hamas but also strikes at the heart of its symbolic and ideological strength. His ability to evade Israeli forces for decades added to his legendary status among Hamas’ ranks, and his elimination leaves a void that affects both the group’s morale and its operational coherence. Beyond the immediate conflict, Deif was an iconic figure of the Palestinian cause internationally, with his name and image synonymous with the fight against Israeli occupation. His death is a global event with significant implications for the Palestinian narrative. —— IDF Briefing Chief of Staff Halevi asserted this evening, “We are determined to continue to pursue senior Hamas officials, those who planned and carried out the October 7 massacre, and dedicated their lives to the murder of innocents.” “These eliminations are one part of the continuous and changing military pressure that the IDF is applying in all parts of the Gaza Strip,” added Halevi, stressing that these operations are “all supported by high-quality and up-to-date intelligence.” “This is critical for the systematic dismantling of the Hamas terrorist organization; it is also very important for the creation of the conditions for an agreement to return the hostages,” said Halevi. “We found him; we will also find those next in line,” vowed Halevi this evening. —— Documentation of the Strike Video footage of the strikes showed voluminous sand plumes flung tens of meters into the air from the elimination site.

Kilder innad i etterforskningen har hevdet til mediene at det var "explosive devices", men det er foreløpig uklart akkurat hva det menes?

Ved mistillit som faktisk går gjennom, så vil ikke presidenten bli avsatt umiddelbart. Det vil da bli en rettssak, hvor senatorene er juryen, og hvor lederen for Høyesterett fungerer som dommer osv. Dersom presidenten dømmes, og blir avsatt, så tar visepresidenten over. Dersom visepresidenten også avsettes, så er det nestemann i rekken osv. så det går innad i partiet nedover i "arverekken". Hva alternativene blir neste valg, dersom det blir noe valg, er umulig å si noe om. Muligens Barron Trump mot en eller annen demokrat, med mindre Barron bare tar over direkte når Trump har avskaffet valg.

Vel, jeg er innom der nå og da, men ikke fordi jeg støtter Trump, tvert i mot.

Tja, synes selv det var relevant å legge ut Trump sine kommentarer på Truth Social, i og med at han er den som ble skutt, men innser at utakk er verdens lønn, så det skjer ikke igjen. Beklager!

Erna Solberg er ikke en vordende diktator med ekstreme meninger ... så vidt vi vet !

Hvorvidt han er medlem av noe eller ikke, med et offisielt medlemskort i lomma, er vel kanskje ikke det viktigste her. Han er angivelig uansett knyttet til Antifa. Akkurat hvordan vet vi vel ikke helt, utover at det ser ut til at han har deltatt på noen demonstrasjoner. Angivelig er han også registrert republikaner.

Så kan man vel også være republikaner og støtte antifa, akkurat som man kan være rasist, Proud Boys osv. og være demokrat. Den splittende faktoren politisk er stort sett Trump. Trump har startet dette med å legge opp til et narrativ hvor Antifa er fienden, og fæle greier han vil forby, mens Proud Boys er flotte mennesker. Det er ikke en gang slik at alle republikanere støtter Trump, mange av de kan ikke fordra Trump, og mener han ikke står for tradisjonelle republikanske verdier, noe de forsåvidt har rett i. Man ser det samme blant konservative kristne, hvor mange støtter Trump fordi de mener han står deres ideologi og religion nærmest. De som er litt mer oppegådende, men fremdeles konservative kristne, ser at Trump på ingen måte er kristen, men kun opptatt av seg selv, er dømt for seksualforbrytelser, underslag og svindel, og har vært en utro lystløgner hele sitt liv. Trump er en splittende personlighet, det er det han tjener på, hvor han polariserer folket for å oppnå enorm støtte blant alt som kan krype og gå av gærninger, enten de er på den ene eller andre siden.

Jepp, Trump ønsker egentlig bare å støtte andre land, selv om han sier det motsatte, og Putin ønsker seg bare perestroika og fred i Ukraina, selv om han sender raketter mot barnesykehus i Kiev.

Gærningene spretter opp som paddehatter

Trolig to Hamas-ledere til tatt ut. Hamas har kommet med en melding som sier at Deif vil bli erstattet av hundrevis av nye martyrer, men det er ingen bekreftelse fra IDF enda. Det er antatt at en annen Hamas-leder også ble drept i angrepet.

Okey? "According to the Washington Post's investigation, a series of hacked emails and leaked documents from the Iranian government-funded Press TV show payments of thousands of dollars made to Wyatt Reed, a writer who is now a Washington-based editor for the online publication Grayzone. Reed also worked extensively for Russian news agency Sputnik during overlapping years. Grayzone founder Max Blumenthal wrote a controversial piece for the outlet about the October 7 attacks, which became the basis for a widespread conspiracy theory denying that Hamas murdered hundreds of Israeli civilians. The Washington Post also reported that Blumenthal regularly appears on Russian television and once accepted a trip to Moscow for a celebration of Russian state-controlled video network RT that featured Vladimir Putin. Other Grayzone contributors, including London journalist Mohamed Elmaazi and freelancer Jeremy Loffredo, have also been linked to Sputnik and RT, respectively" https://www.haaretz.com/news/middle-east/2024-06-04/ty-article/report-fringe-anti-israel-news-site-editor-paid-by-iran-leaked-documents-show/0000018f-e389-dce5-abdf-e3adaf980000

På bilder tatt av pressen kan man faktisk se kula

Nå "finner" de vel ikke en kandidat, det er en demokratisk prosess gjennom et nominasjonsvalg. Hadde Trump vært bekreftet av GOP og hatt en visepresident, så ville trolig visepresidenten tatt over, men på nåværende tidspunkt er det rimelig åpent. De kandidatene som man tror kan bli Trumps visepresident er vel ikke noen som har noen større oppslutning blant republikanere, ei heller MAGA. Det måtte kanskje være Marco Rubio, men tror neppe Tim Scott, JD Vance eller Doug Burgum ville vunnet noe nominasjonsvalg, har mer tro på Haley. Republikanerne vet jo allerede fra meningsmålinger at Haley høyst trolig slår Biden uten problemer.

Enda ... !

Dersom Trump får til å innføre skatter og toll på varer fra for eksempel Kina, så vil det være dårlig nytt for USA, men ikke nødvendigvis for investeringer. Høy inflasjon og høye renter for å holde prisveksten nede på grunn av sinnsyke tollmurer, vil være positivt for mange selskaper. Selskaper som Mag-7 og en del internasjonale selskaper vil i liten grad bli påvirket, ettersom de bruker ting som "dobbel irsk" og den slags til å unngå skatter og toll uansett, og "big tech" vil derfor nyte godt av en økonomi som rammer folk flest negativt. Det er ikke uten grunn at mange av USAs milliardærer, som vil ha lavere skatt og mindre organisering blant arbeidere osv, støtter Trump.
