TODAY IN HISTORY: Feb 7, 1965 Viet Cong kill 7 GIs; LBJ bombs N Vietnam; at end 58,000 GIs dead. Feb 7, 1984, Reagan pulls GIs out of Middle East before more get killed (421 were killed in Beirut a few months before). Feb 7, 2024: Biden picks LBJ example.
Why No Major Russian Offensive
With the Russians having the upper hand in Ukraine, why don’t they launch a major offense to end the war? was Nima’s first question. Also discussed: starvation as part of genocide & an illustrative real-life example of rank anti-semitism in USG 80 yrs ago.
Hypocrisy on Steroids
President winces at 3 “transfer cases” containing “fallen” soldiers at Dover AFB; peans for the peons during football games; targets chosen “with an idea there would likely be casualties associated with people inside those facilities” hypocrisy on steroids.
Tower 22 Attack Not the False Flag, But…
Attack on Tower 22 killing 3 GIs was “Iran-backed” but DoD has “no evidence” Iran directly involved. A drone got through because US anti-aircraft defense confused. So Tower 22 attack not the “False Flag” attack I have been predicting, but remain alert for one.

What New Russia – Iran Ties Mean
Intel. Roundtable mentioned Moscow TV panelist remark: “Russia & Iran are allies.” New treaty widens defense ties. https://timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/russia-and-iran-to-sign-new-strategic-treaty/ Let’s hope that sane US officials, if any, take this into account in striking “Iran-backed” forces in Iraq and Syria.
MEANWHILE BAD NEWS ON UKRAINE
After Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS)’s latest try to talk sense to Biden on the war, exposing lies of charlatan, benighted “Intel” advisers https://consortiumnews.com/2024/01/25/vips-memo-to-biden-avoiding-a-third-world-war/ I briefed it orally (see min 1 to 23)
Gaza and a Starving Ireland
In “Gaza and a Starving Ireland” https://consortiumnews.com/2011/06/28/gaza-and-thoughts-of-a-starving-ireland/ I compared the two, as our “US Boat to Gaza” set sail in 2011. Israeli leaders were bragging about having “put Gazans on a strict diet”. Now UN says FAMINE “inevitable”. Our history, Irish Americans!
Brave Pawns
Three dead GIs: “brave souls” (Biden), or “dumb animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy” (Henry Kissinger quoted in 1990 book KISS THE BOYS GOODBYE)? Per usual, good questions today. Someone needs to tell Biden big attack on Iran = the end of Israel.
Do We Have the Israeli False Flag?
Do we now have ISRAELI FALSE FLAG ATTACK killing US troops? It’s “Iran-backed” MSM says. Biden: we already “know” that; “while we are still gathering the facts.” Neocons/Israel lust to get US atk on Iran. CENTCOM lied threw its teeth under then Gen. Austin
