The US, Israel and Beirutshima
TAXI • AUGUST 6, 2020 • 155 COMMENTS
Wherever there is mass murder in the Middle East, there you find the Israeli fingerprint. And it was always forever thus.
Time and time again, since 1948, Israel has demonstrated that it solves all its regional problems with violent terroristic solutions that change the political and geostrategic equation in its favor. Time and time again, there is always a major Western government that benefits from and supports this Israeli terrorism, and in the case of the recent horrific explosion at the Beirut Port, now otherwise known as 'Beirutshima', it is the US who greatly benefits as well as Tel Aviv.
Since 1948, the Beirut Port has long been a target marked for destruction by Israel. It has long been Israel's wet dream to destroy this busy and industrious port, originally built by the ancient Phoenicians. This is because the Beirut Port poses the biggest trade competition to Israel's Haifa Port, therefore a constant threat to Israel's lucrative marine economy. Also, the Beirut Port is a well-established and crucial lifeline to Lebanon's daily energy and sustenance needs, therefore destroying it renders the Lebanese government vulnerable and open to a practical siege of all its economic and political decision-making: a virtual colonization of political Lebanon by its more affluent enemy and neighbor. Not forgetting here also that Lebanon's militarized resistance groups being the biggest immediate threat to the very existence of the Jewish state itself, Israel fears the port being used to transfer unchecked weapons into the hands of Palestinian resistors residing in Lebanon, as well as into the hands of various other Lebanese resistance groups at war with Israel.
Moreover, the Port of Beirut also poses the biggest geostrategic threat for the US's eastward-bound power projection where China and its new Silk Road operation is fast creeping westwards and is attempting to land at the eastern coastal strip of the Mediterranean, right where the Beirut Port docks. The US having recently forced Israel to cancel its Haifa contact with China has somewhat dampened the Chinese advance in the eastern Mediterranean, and what remains now in the path of the US is the Beirut Port. The US must either invade it to block the Chinese geostrategic mission creep, or else destroy it.
Evidently, the US has chosen the latter option – with Israel assigned the task of accomplishing the destruction of Beirut Port. After all, for different reasons, both benefit greatly from Beirutshima.
And so very timely is this destruction of the Beirut Port as the Lebanese government has very recently been in official talks with the Chinese over their offer to vastly invest in and develop the Beirut Port: a much needed gateway port and bridge into Europe for China, which represents an absolutely intolerable equation for the US's hegemony in Europe. The Beirut Port's rebuilding to its previous standard of activity will be contingent on strict conditions imposed by the US and Israel on the Lebanese government, if the port is allowed to be rebuilt at all, that is. Most certainly, the US is determined not to allow the Chinese any executive, investment or managerial access to it.
Furthermore, unable to overcome the Lebanese Resistance's muscle on the battlefield, as demonstrated again recently by Israel's hysteria and fear of Hezbollah's retaliation over Israel killing one of its fighters in Syria, the Israeli terrorist attack on the Port of Beirut shakes off, to a degree, Israel's own domestic sense of cowardice and military weakness in the face of Hezbollah; while simultaneously dealing a massive blow to the currently anorexic economic belly of its Lebanon enemy.
Dear reader, this article is not concerned with the 'whodunit' aspect of the Beirut Port bombing – it's a fait accompli that this is the work of Lebanon's enemy and its agents of chaos. Yes, there was gross negligence involved on behalf of the Lebanese port authorities and some politicians, but it was not the port authorities or politicians whose fingers triggered the gigantic port explosion, it was Israel taking advantage of this neglect and corruption and setting it up for an explosive false flag op against the unarmed Lebanese citizens themselves. A typical Israeli behavior: strike at unarmed civilians when unable to strike at an enemy's army or armed resistors. And no, Hezbollah does not have an arms depot in the port: this is a ludicrous posit that should be immediately dismissed as it falsely demotes Hezbollah's intelligence and renders their superior weapons strategists into inferior port gangsters. There is zero reason for the Hezbollah to use the busy and exposed thoroughfare of Beirut Port for a secret weapon storage when it already has several mountains and an endless string of remote hills for safe weapons storage. Certainly, Hezbollah is present at the Beirut Port, but only for Intel gathering, not for weapon storing.
This article is not concerned with establishing whodunit and whatnot forensics gathered in slo-mo. It is already clear to all discerning minds who exactly benefits from the false flag attack on the Beirut Port. This article is concerned with the geostrategic why's and wherefores of the terrorist attack against the Lebanon, and concerned especially with the target itself and the timing. The pertinent questions here being why the Beirut Port and why now? Therefore, let us look at the wider geostrategic meaning of this terrorist attack on Beirut. After all, such a gigantic event does not just suddenly materialize out of the blue. Such a gigantic and consequential event is never for nothing. It is not an unfortunate accident that occurred by happenstance due to neglect and gross incompetence. Indeed, it is a trigger for a larger regional and global project, in the same way that the 9/11 attack was a trigger for a larger project whose ultimate beneficiaries remain Israel and the US's MIC.
And this larger US project has everything to do with the current US war on China, albeit presently a non-military war, but a war nevertheless, a war that the Pentagon is militarily preparing for – hence the ever increasing and breathtakingly high defense budget that Congress has been allocating to the US military throughout the terms of the last three Presidents.
The US having lost Pakistan to the China sphere of influence, thus losing an attack dog bordering China, and having recently assigned Turkey as its new enforcer in the Middle East, it now behooves the US to use its Mideast allies of both Turkey and Israel, two infamous terrorist states who regularly break international law with impunity: use them as spoilers and saboteurs against an advancing China and against any of Beijing's Mideast regional allies. Beirutshima is clearly an apparent US endeavor to push-back the Chinese advance in the highly strategic eastern Mediterranean, as the US attempts to simultaneously pivot eastwards itself through secured territories wherever China is successfully backtracked by the US and its regional henchmen.
But, can this grand geostrategic plan really work for the benefit of the US? Can the US really succeed at remaining the only superpower in the world by the incessant knee-capping of China's new Silk Road project?

Israel destroys East Beirut with a new weapon
by Thierry Meyssan
The first Israeli Prime Minister has ordered the destruction of a Hizbollah weapons warehouse in Beirut with a new weapon. The weapon, which is not well known, caused considerable damage in the city, killing more than 100 people, injuring 5,000 and destroying many buildings. This time it will be difficult for Benjamin Netanyahu to deny it.
VOLTAIRE NETWORK | DAMASCUS (SYRIA) | 7 AUGUST 2020
On September 27, 2018, Benjamin Netanyahu pointed out to the United Nations General Assembly forum the warehouse that will explode on 4 August 2020 as a Hezbollah arms depot.
The first Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, authorized a strike against a Hezbollah arms depot using a new weapon that has been tested for seven months in Syria. It is not known whether the second Prime Minister, Benny Gantz, gave his consent.
The strike was carried out on August 4, 2020, at the exact location designated by Benjamin Netanyahu in his speech to the United Nations on September 27, 2018 [1].
It is not known what weapon was used. However, it has already been tested in Syria since January 2020. It is a missile with a tactical nuclear component in its warhead that causes a smoke mushroom characteristic of nuclear weapons. It is obviously not an atomic bomb in the strategic sense.
Israeli test in Syria.
The weapon was tested in Syria on a plain in the countryside and then in the Persian Gulf on the water against Iranian military vessels. This is the first time it has been used in an urban environment, in a particular environment that made the air blast and vibrations reflect off the water and the mountains. Far from destroying only the port of Beirut, it killed about a hundred people, injured at least 5,000 others, and largely destroyed the eastern part of the city (the western part was largely protected by the grain silo).

Is it possible to store 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate in this warehouse? What would the overall storage volume be on 2,750 pounds of ammonium nitrate? Is there a clear record or registry of of the material stored there after the alleged Russian ship was impounded and the ammonium nitrate downloaded into the warehouse?

Final Israeli apologist smack down:
August 10, 2020
Lots of crap has been said to try to get people to believe it was not a nuke. And on the other side, in support of the nuke reality, there are a few errors being made also. Let's go over them:
1. It could not have been ammonium nitrate because when that blows up, the smoke is white. Correct answer: The smoke color from an ammonium nitrate blast is completely dependent on whatever was mixed with it to get it to explode. Additionally, if the freakishly impossible conditions are met to get it to explode without an oxidizer, you get nothing. The results are pathetic. Under those conditions (as stated in the MSM to be what happened) the smoke is white, not red. So it is partially correct, but not worth presenting. And you'd only meet those conditions with a pound or so under precise control, you'd never cause it to torch off that huge pile.
2. Here's a good one that might fool people: The cloud was water being thrown in the air, it was a harbor after all. Reality: It was not water or water vapor, it was distorted air turning opaque. water vapor would not just vanish in a second, what was actually seen was air distortions from a supersonic blast wave. And, to back that up, where is the harbor in this pic?
3. It was a weapons cache that exploded, not a nuke. Possible. But not likely, the precise shape of the fire ball and perfect shock wave is not very likely, and there's that pic above, this is not the first time. Israel was testing these in Syria and an oops happened, that picture got out. Surprisingly Sorcha posted that pic and that is where I saw it first. Subsequent searches turned up very little, Sorcha may have been given something. And if so, that's plenty of forgiveness for all those "rumors circulating the Kremlin". That picture is literally the holy grail, we now know damn well Israel is using nukes, perhaps a new type, and that is what went off in Beirut.
4. It was not a nuke because there would have been an enormous flash at first. Correction: Only air bursts make the enormous flash. This was not an air burst. This was either set off in the warehouse or in the tunnels under the warehouse. This was a bomb that got smuggled in, I doubt a missile could have hit so precisely there would be no enormous flash. If it was set up in the warehouse, the flash would have been gone before the shock wave blew the roof off. The fireball would still be there, and we have a nice pic of that.
5. The fire beforehand proves this is just an explosion, everyone is nuts for crying nuke. Reality: Ventriloquism is an old art, the fire was the puppet and the nuke was the voice. Israel is not stupid, (actually, they were stupid) because when they set up the diversion they got everyone's attention, including someone who was able to get a high class SLR set up to record the blast with nuclear test site quality. That's a major OOPS, I am sure Israel did not factor that into their equation. The fire ball says it all. It did not even originate in the right place but with typical cell phone cams, no one would have caught that.
6. If it was a nuke, the grain silo would have been completely vanished. Not so. During the Trinity tests, objects that were very solid were placed very near the blast, including a big steel ball, and on the steel ball there was still paint afterward. Lots of nearby stuff was not totally blown away. Additionally, in real life Hiroshima, sturdy structures, including a church only 700 feet from ground zero, stayed standing. That grain silo was beyond sturdy, it was very robust and had materials inside it (that are now scattered all over in front of it after they spilled out) that provided even more support. In reality, the extent of the damage to that grain silo proves it was a nuke, there was a substantial distance between it and the blast and it still got amazingly destroyed. The crater, which was 200 meters across, actually indicates a 100 kiloton blast, but I did not go into that.
