The Trump-Netanyahu Ticket Wins the Israeli Election

Under Trump, the U.S. is no longer playing good-cop-bad-cop with Israel in the Middle East. Now, it’s just two bad cops.

TEL AVIV, ISRAEL — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who secured his fifth premiership in Tuesday’s elections, colluded with U.S. President Donald Trump, Netanyahu’s own tweets reveal.

The U.S. and Israel, both founded as settler-colonial states, have a symbiotic relationship. And just as Israeli spies have meddled in American elections, the U.S. has long meddled in Israel’s.

This time, under Trump, that meddling has been marked by unprecedented appeasements to the Israeli far right. It also serves a dual purpose, as Trump has made shoring up support from American Jews a feature of 2020 reelection strategy.

Netanyahu faced the toughest opposition he has encountered to date. In a last ditch effort to make his reelection inevitable, he promised to officially annex the West Bank — a not-so-subtle affirmation to the all-powerful settler movement that he has their backs. And just three weeks prior to the election, Trump gave another gift to the Israeli settler movement by officially recognizing Syria’s Golan Heights — which Israeli partially, and illegally, annexed in 1967 — as rightfully Israel’s.

But on Monday, just one day prior to Israelis heading to the polls, Netanyahu gushed on Twitter that Trump had fulfilled yet another “important request” of his: designating the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as a foreign terrorist organization. In Hebrew (here translated literally), Netanyahu tweeted:

Thank you, my dear friend, U.S. President Donald Trump, for having decided to declare Iran’s Revolutionary Guards a terrorist organization. Thank you for responding to another important request of mine.”

The longtime Isreali leader’s English-language tweet differed significantly from the Hebrew one. The former read:

Thank you, President Donald Trump for your decision to designate the Islamic revolutionary guards [sic] as a terrorist organization. Once again you are keeping the world safe from Iran aggression and terrorism.”

The English tweet was issued about an hour after the Hebrew one. In that timespan, AFP’s Palestine reporter noted:

Normally Netanyahu thanks Trump in English but this time, with Trump designating IRGC a terrorist organisation hours before Israeli elections, he does it in Hebrew. Aimed at Israelis sitting on fence.”

Western Spies Among the Jihadis in Idlib: Planning A New Drama? A Chemical Attack?

Will a chemical attack video be aired soon?

There are spies among the Jihadis in Idlib. Movements, storages and plans are well known to the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and their Russian allies. Recently, the Russian Defense Ministry warned that European intelligence agents were inside Idlib, and planning a chemical attack, which would be blamed on the Syrian and/or Russian military. The professional video troupe, The White Helmets, is also present ready to begin their upcoming role in the drama. French and Belgian agents inside Idlib were observed by informants in their midst, though the French Foreign Ministry accused Russia of lying.

When the battle to free East Aleppo was over in December 2016, the civilians came streaming out, and the next task was to interview them to determine who was an innocent civilian, and who had actually been a terrorist, but had not managed to escape. Under-cover informants were able to identify the innocent from the terrorists. Time and time again, from battle to battle, valuable information was leaked to the SAA through their vast network of informants on the ground, behind enemy lines, among the terrorist groups they were fighting.

Ever since the war began in 2011, chemical weapons use, or merely the threat, has played a role. Syrians watched videos made in 2012 by terrorists in which rabbits were killed with chemicals, in an effort to scare the civilian population, and it worked. People were scared, and the fear was coming from the Turkish border, as the chemicals in the video were clearly made in Turkey. In March 2013, Khan al Assal was attacked by chemical weapons. The dead were 25 civilians and 16 SAA soldiers guarding the town after a previous terrorist attack.

The live TV coverage of the hospital with the gasping victims, and the dead in a local hospital shocked Syrians nationwide, while the Syrian deputy foreign minister, Faisal Meqdad, said Syria would file a protest with the U.N. Security Council, which was followed up by requests by the Syrian government for UN investigators to come and inspect the crime scene and victims. The UN repeatedly stalled citing security concerns, finally in August 2013 the team arrived in Damascus, but before they could begin a new chemical attack happened, and the video caused outrage around the world, as viewers were convinced the Syrian government had used sarin gas on hundreds of civilians.

Make Israel Great Again: US Is Laying Groundwork for War With Iran

By designating the 120,000-man Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a terrorist organization, Trump is undermining US interests and risking American lives, all for the sake of Israel.

Monday, Donald Trump announced that he was designating the 120,000-man Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a 'terrorist organization.'

While Iran has a large regular army as well, the IRGC is Iran's main military force in the Persian Gulf, the area where Iranian and US interests are most likely to clash. This significantly ups the stakes in any future 'incident' in the Gulf.

Now that the US officially regards soldiers of the IRGC as terrorists, it is no longer obliged to treat them according to the rules of war. So any IRGC soldier who falls into US hands can expect to live out his life in a cell at Gitmo.

This also endangers US military personnel in the Persian Gulf. It is safe to assume that the Iranians will retaliate by announcing that they will not treat captured US personnel according to the Geneva Conventions.

So who could possibly benefit from all this? Two weeks ago, Philip Giraldi predicted that the US would force an incident with Iran to boost Netanyahu's chances at the polls. While Trump's move didn't result in a catastrophe (yet), it was definitely a win for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.

And America will suffer other fall-out from the move. From Daniel Larison of The American Conservative:

Trump’s irresponsible decision doesn’t serve U.S. interests in the least, but it will make it more difficult for a future administration to enter into negotiations with Iran or lift sanctions. Iran hawks have been very open about their desire to tie the hands of the next president, and with this designation they are hoping to lock the U.S. on a collision course with Iran.

Spanish Police Probe Extortion Scheme Involving Surveillance on Assange

UPDATED: Suspects are being investigated in Spain for having tried to extort €3 million from WikiLeaks in exchange for a huge cache of documents and surveillance videos of Assange inside Ecuador’s London embassy, including with his doctors and lawyers.

A Spanish judge is investigating an alleged extortion scheme in which suspects in Madrid offered video and audio surveillance to the editor of WikiLeaks in exchange for €3 million, WikiLeaks said on Wednesday.

The surveillance was taken over the past year inside the Ecuador embassy in London, where WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has legally been granted political asylum since 2012, said Kristinn Hrafnsson, the WikiLeaks editor, at a press conference in the British capital. Included in the “trove” of material was a copy of a legal document regarding Assange’s defense strategy that was briefly left behind in a conference room in the embassy, Hrafnsson said.

“It is a grave and serious concern when legal meetings are being spied upon and legal documents are stolen,” he said. “That is something that not even prisoners have to endure.”

Assange was also filmed being examined by his doctor in the embassy, Hrafnsson said. “Nobody expected that this was recorded and stored and found its way to some dubious individuals in Spain,” he said.

Hotter Heads Will Prevail: Russian, US Leaders Psyching Their Peoples Up for War

Well, that didn’t take long! No sooner had Robert Torquemada Mueller wrapped up his obscenely expensive inquisition without finding any so-called collusion with Russia than the obstacles to rapprochement between Washington and Moscow immediately dissipated.

Calls for a new détente issued from sound thinkers such as Daniel R. DePetris of The American Conservative (Trump now has his “first opportunity to settle on a Russia policy without the risk of an extreme political backlash”) and Srdja Trifkovic of Chronicles:

‘Now that the Russian Collusion Myth has been revealed to be a mendacious conspiracy by the Deep State, the Democratic Party and the media, President Donald Trump needs to move on with his election promise to improve relations with Moscow. That is a geopolitical and civilizational necessity.’

The undeniable wisdom of such recommendations was instantly recognized by the Washington establishment. Not only did Democrats and Never-Trump Republicans back off their Nazi-Putin paranoia, Trump’s own team, starting with National Security Adviser John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo rushed copies of DePetris’ and Trifkovic’s musings onto their boss’s desk.

Pompeo declines to reaffirm Trump commitment to two-state solution

In a four minutes exchange between Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) and Secretary Pompeo, the two argued about the prospects of an upcoming peace process between Israel and the Palestinians.

WASHINGTON – US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo refused to endorse a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. During a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Wednesday regarding the State Department 2020 budget request, Pompeo expressed hope that the upcoming peace plan would create the conditions in which Israelis and Palestinians could solve the conflict, but did not provide any specifics.

In a four-minute exchange between Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Virginia) and Pompeo, the two argued about the prospects of an upcoming peace process between Israel and the Palestinians. Kaine pressured Pompeo to declare the US official position is still to back the two-state solution, but Pompeo declined to give a definite answer.

“I want to ask you about what US policy is right now,” said Kaine. “Would we support annexation of the West Bank? Do we oppose it? Are we indifferent to whether that happened?”

Responded Pompeo: “We are now working with many parties to share what our vision [is] as to how to resolve this problem,” adding that “for decades, there had been all these wonderful experts that have tried to resolve this crisis in the Middle East, the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people, and they have each failed. So the old set of ideas aren’t worth retreading. They have simply not succeeded. We are hopeful that our vision, our ideas about what this might look like, how we might proceed to do that, will create the conditions where the Israelis and the Palestinians can resolve this.”
