On Texas talk show, no less, I’m given time to raise a bunch of things: Intelligence, Russia, Ukraine, Gaza, Israel, Saudis, “Iran-backed bad actors”, “going after Iran”. Hope you will enjoy the interview as much as I did. We covered a lot of territory.
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

ICJ Ruling on Israel and Genocide
Learned a whole lot from Francis Boyle, Craig Murray, Alexander Mercouris, Joe Lauria re International Court of Justice ruling on Israel & genocide. Legalities, and possibilities at UN now clear – and SLOW. But when will ‘no one kill the children anymore’?
Fire the Screw Ups
Biden has won the Philip II-of-Spain award for woodenheadedness. H/T to those Biden courtiers who prevent facts from affecting preconceived fixed notions on Ukraine. Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) tell him he should fire the screw-ups

Biden’s Potential Beirut
Biden is now saying, acc to NYT: It just a matter of time before a US soldier in Iraq or Syria is killed. Times says that then a direct US attack on Iran likely. When 241 troops were killed at Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983, Reagan had sense to pull out.
Advice for Iran
Remain calm! My basic msg in interview yesterday. Don’t make it easier for Israel to mousetrap neocons into open war. (A tall order since Tehran does not fully control “Iran-backed proxies”.) Even if Iran stays cautious, an Israeli FALSE FLAG attack likely.
