    Netanyahu has declared war on American citizens. Not with tanks. Not with missiles. With something far more insidious.

    Social media algorithms? Hijacked. Free speech? Under siege. Critics? Silenced — sometimes permanently, right here on U.S. soil.

    This is a war without battlefields, fought in shadows. Silent weapons for quiet wars. And the weapon is data. Your thoughts, your movements, your private life — mapped, tracked, and stored. Every search, every message, every password becomes ammunition.

    They are saying it out loud now. The feds are falling in line. Yet still, most people don’t even know they’re under attack. But make no mistake: you are the target. The internet is the new battlefield. And unless you act, you’ve already lost.

    And if you think that sounds extreme… wait until you hear what we uncovered next.

    Netanyahu has openly admitted it: the internet is Israel’s new battlefield — and Americans are in the crosshairs.

    Look at Netanyahu’s current warzones, at the destruction across the Middle East in their seven-front war. Only a fool would dismiss his warning when he brags about Israel’s next-generation weapons.

    And don’t underestimate Israel’s reach within the US.

    The FBI director with the former Israeli intelligence agent girlfriend — who is definitely not a honeypot — is now openly calling for the end of the First Amendment — on Israel’s behalf.


    Kash Patel says that social media in America is “out of control,” and it’s the feds job to rein it in. Not long ago, you’d be dismissed as a conspiracy theorist for suggesting the feds were monitoring you on social media. Now, they’re saying it out loud.

    Israel is not only controlling the feds, blackmailing Congress, and paying US influencers to astroturf, they have seized global control of VPNs, the very tools people trust to hide their most private activities.

    This is massive. And the chilling part? Almost no one realizes the danger they’re already in.

    They told us VPNs were the answer — a digital cloak to disappear online, hide your tracks, and protect your privacy from governments and corporations.

    And 1.6 billion people believed it, trusting VPNs with their searches, their secrets, their most private activities.

    But here’s the chilling truth: that cloak has been stolen. VPNs aren’t protecting you — they’ve become a global dragnet for surveillance and blackmail.

    When Netanyahu talked about ‘data banks,’ he wasn’t talking about spreadsheets or savings accounts. He was talking about VPNs — the reservoir of the world’s secrets. The vault where people have been led to believe they’re safe.

    How did Israel pull off the heist? Not with guns, not with tanks — but with boardrooms, buyouts, and backdoors.

    Three of the six most popular VPNs in the world — ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, and Private Internet Access — are owned by a single company: Kape Technologies. On the surface, it’s a London-based tech firm.

    But peel back the label, and the truth gets very dark, very quickly.

    Kape isn’t just another tech company. Its roots trace back to Crossrider, a malware distributor infamous for hijacking people’s devices. And its leadership? Packed with Israeli military intelligence veterans — the very people who built Israel’s most powerful surveillance tools.

    We are talking about veterans of Unit 8200 — Israel’s NSA on steroids. Masters of hacking, blackmail, and mass surveillance. They created Pegasus and Cellebrite, spyware used to spy on thousands of journalists and politicians around the world, including by Saudi Arabia to track and murder dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

    We are also talking about the Duvdevan Unit — Israel’s elite undercover death squad. Commandos trained to infiltrate, disguise themselves, wage war through deception, and carry out assassinations.

    These aren’t just names. They’re written into the résumés of Kape’s CEOs, developers, and financiers. The founder, Teddy Sagi, is one of Israel’s richest men — a convicted fraudster who bankrolls the IDF and brags about placing ex-agents into his companies.

    These are the very people you’re paying to protect your privacy. It’s not just a sick joke — it’s a punchline, and you are the one they’re laughing at.

    Because the answer is: they were. But with VP.net — not anymore.

    Recent events make it clear: Israel has taken off the gloves. And this time, the war is aimed squarely at American citizens. Especially those who refuse to comply, who won’t fall in line — as Tucker Carlson explains.



    It’s time to say no. Reject the globalist agenda. Reject ‘Israel First.’ Expel the spies hiding in your phone, in your apps, in your devices.

  • The concept of synchronicity, that feeling of meaningful coincidence, has always fascinated me. We've all experienced it, haven't!
    Some dismiss it as mere chance, while others see it as evidence of a deeper connection, a hidden order within the universe. Maybe it's a subtle nudge from our subconscious, drawing our attention to patterns we might otherwise miss. Or perhaps, as Carl Jung suggested, it's a manifestation of the collective unconscious, a shared reservoir of symbols and archetypes that link us all.

    Interestingly, the idea of interconnectedness resonates with some aspects of the crypto world. Blockchain technology, at its core, relies on a distributed network, a decentralized system where every transaction is linked and verified by multiple nodes. This creates a sense of shared responsibility and transparency, a collective agreement on the validity of the data.

    Perhaps the increasing adoption of cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance (DeFi) is a reflection of our growing desire for greater transparency and trust in a world that often feels chaotic and unpredictable. We yearn for systems that are more equitable, more accessible, and less susceptible to manipulation.

    Of course, the crypto space is not without its challenges. Volatility, security concerns, and the environmental impact of some cryptocurrencies are valid concerns that need to be addressed. However, the underlying principles of decentralization and community governance offer a glimpse into a potentially more collaborative future.

    Beyond the realm of technology, synchronicity reminds us that we are all interconnected, that our actions have consequences, and that even the smallest of gestures can ripple outwards and create unexpected connections. It encourages us to pay attention to the signs and signals around us, to be open to new possibilities, and to trust our intuition.

    Maybe that unexpected meeting was meant to be. Maybe that article you stumbled upon was exactly what you needed to read. Maybe that feeling of unease is a warning. By embracing the concept of synchronicity, we can cultivate a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in our lives, and perhaps even unlock hidden potentials within ourselves and the world around us. It's a reminder that we're not just random individuals floating through space, but active participants in a vast and intricate tapestry. It's worth pondering, isn't it? A little bit of magic woven into the fabric of reality. The universe whispering secrets in our ears.

  • Video: “Wiping Gaza Off the Map”: Big Money Agenda. Confiscating Palestine’s Maritime Natural Gas Reserves
    Video Interview with Michel Chossudovsky

    Introduction

    Israel has launched an invasion (October 7, 2023) of the Gaza Strip.

    As outlined by Felicity Arbuthnot with foresight 10 years ago in a December, 30 2013 article:

    “Israel is set to become a major exporter of gas and some oil, “If All Goes to Plan”.

    In the current context, Israel’s “All Goes to Plan” option consists in bypassing Palestine and “Wiping Gaza off the Map”, as well confiscating ALL Gaza’s maritime offshore gas reserves, worth billions of dollars.

    The ultimate objective is not only to exclude Palestinians from their homeland, it consists in confiscating the multi-billion dollar Gaza offshore Natural Gas reserves, namely those pertaining to the BG (BG Group) in 1999, as well the Levant discoveries of 2013.

    Update. Israel’s Secret Intelligence Memorandum

    An official “secret” memorandum authored by Israel’s Ministry of Intelligence “is recommending the forcible and permanent transfer of the Gaza Strip’s 2.2 million Palestinian residents to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula”, namely to a refugee camp in Egyptian territory. There are indications of Israel-Egypt negotiations as well as consultations with the U.S.

    The 10-page document, dated Oct. 13, 2023, bears the logo of the Intelligence Ministry … assesses three options regarding the future of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip … It recommends a full population transfer as its preferred course of action. … The document, whose authenticity was confirmed by the ministry, has been translated into English in full here on +972.

    Felicity Arbuthnot’s 2013 Analysis

    “The Giant Leviathan natural gas field, in the eastern Mediterranean, discovered in December 2010, widely described [by governments and media] as “off the coast of Israel.”

    These Levant reserves must be distinguished from those discovered in Gaza in 1999 by British Gas, which belong to Palestine. Felicity Arbuthnot’s analysis nonetheless confirms that “Part of the Leviathan Gas fields lie in Gazan territorial waters” (See Map Below).

    Whilst Israel claims them as her very own treasure trove, only a fraction of the sea’s wealth lies in Israel’s bailiwick as maps. Much is still unexplored, but currently Palestine’s Gaza and the West Bank between them show the greatest discoveries… (Felicity Arbuthnot, 2013)



    Flash Forward to October 2023

    Netanyahu’s October 2023 declaration of war against 2.3 million people of the Gaza Strip is a continuation of its 2008-2009 invasion of Gaza under “Operation Cast Lead.”

    The underlying objective is the outright military occupation of Gaza by Israel’s IDF forces and the expulsion of Palestinians from their homeland.

    I should however mention that there are powerful financial interests which stand to benefit from Israel’s criminal undertaking (Genocide) directed against Gaza.

    .

    The ultimate objective is not only to exclude Palestinians from their homeland, it consists in confiscating the multi-billion dollar Gaza offshore Natural Gas reserves, namely those pertaining to the BG (BG Group) in 1999, as well the Levant discoveries of 2013.

    Egypt-Israel “Secret Bilateral Talks”

    In 2021-22, Egypt and Israel were involved in “secret bilateral talks” regarding “the extraction of natural gas off the coast of the Gaza Strip.



    “Egypt succeeded in persuading Israel to start extracting natural gas off the coast of the Gaza Strip, after several months of secret bilateral talks.

    This development … comes after years of Israeli objections to extract natural gas off the coast of Gaza on [alleged] security grounds, …

    British Gas (BG Group) has also been dealing with the Tel Aviv government.

    What is significant is that the civilian arm of the Hamas Gaza government has been bypassed in regards to exploration and development rights over the gas fields:

    The field, which lies about 30 kilometers (19 miles) west of the Gaza coast, was discovered in 2000 by British Gas (currently BG Group) and is estimated to contain more than 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.

    The official in the Egyptian intelligence service told Al-Monitor on condition of anonymity, “An Egyptian economic and security delegation discussed with the Israeli side for several months the issue of allowing the extraction of natural gas off the coast of Gaza. …Al-Monitor, October 22, 2022

    A Memorandum of Understanding was signed between Egypt and Israel, which had the rubber-stamp of the Palestinian National Authority (PA):

    “The Egyptian official explained that Israel required the start of practical measures to extract gas from the Gaza fields at the beginning of 2024, to ensure its own security. (Al-Monitor, October 22, 2022

    Netanyahu’s Timeline: “Before The Beginning of 2024”

    The timeline resulting from these bilateral Israel-Egypt “secret talks” i.e. confiscation of Palestine’s offshore Maritime Gas Reserves is “The Beginning of 2024”.

    United Nations Assessment

    An important United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) (2019) report describes Palestine’s predicament as follows:

    Geologists and natural resources economists have confirmed that the Occupied Palestinian Territory lies above sizeable reservoirs of oil and natural gas wealth, in Area C of the occupied West Bank and the Mediterranean coast off the Gaza Strip.

    However, occupation continues to prevent Palestinians from developing their energy fields so as to exploit and benefit from such assets. As such, the Palestinian people have been denied the benefits of using this natural resource to finance socioeconomic development and meet their need for energy.

    The accumulated losses are estimated in the billions of dollars. The longer Israel prevents Palestinians from exploiting their own oil and natural gas reserves, the greater the opportunity costs and the greater the total costs of the occupation borne by Palestinians become.

    This study identifies and assesses existing and potential Palestinian oil and natural gas reserves that could be exploited for the benefit of the Palestinian people, which Israel is either preventing them from exploiting or is exploiting without due regard for international law. (UNCTAD, August 2019, emphasis added, download complete report)

    Crimes against Humanity

    In the words of Netanyahu who is on Record for Supporting and Financing a faction within Hamas:

    “Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas … This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.”

    (Benjamin Netanyahu, statement at a March 2019 meeting of his Likud Party’s Knesset members, Haaretz, October 9, 2023, emphasis added)

    “Hamas was treated as a partner to the detriment of the Palestinian Authority to prevent Abbas from moving towards creating a Palestinian State. Hamas was promoted from a terrorist group to an organization with which Israel conducted negotiations through Egypt, and which was allowed to receive suitcases containing millions of dollars from Qatar through the Gaza crossings.”

    (Times of Israel, October 8, 2023, emphasis added)

    Crimes against humanity beyond description by the Netanyahu government against the People of Palestine,

    Crimes also committed against the People of Israel who are the victims of the Hamas “False Flag Attack” carefully engineered by Mossad-IDF.

    There are deep-seated divisions within Hamas. Our “False Flag” analysis pertains to a military-intelligence faction within Hamas which cooperates with Israeli and U.S. intelligence. See:

    Is the Gaza-Israel Fighting “A False Flag”? They Let it Happen? Their Objective Is “to Wipe Gaza Off the Map”?

    Israel Gas-Oil and Trouble in the Levant

    by Felicity Arbuthnot

    Global Research,

    December 13, 2013

    Israel is set to become a major exporter of gas and some oil, if all goes to plan. The giant Leviathan natural gas field, in the eastern Mediterranean, discovered in December 2010, is widely described as “off the coast of Israel.”

    At the time the gas field was:

    “ … the most prominent field ever found in the sub-explored area of the Levantine Basin, which covers about 83,000 square kilometres of the eastern Mediterranean region.” (i)

    Coupled with Tamar field, in the same location, discovered in 2009, the prospects are for an energy bonanza for Israel, for Houston, Texas based Noble Energy and partners Delek Drilling, Avner Oil Exploration and Ratio Oil Exploration.

    Also involved is Perth, Australia-based Woodside Petroleum, which has signed a memorandum of understanding for a thirty percent stake in the project, in negotiations which have been described as “up and down.”

    There is currently speculation that Woodside might pull out of the deal: “ …since the original plans to refrigerate the gas for export were pursued when relations between Israel and Turkey were strained. That has changed, more recently, which has opened the door for gas to be piped to Turkey.”

    The spoils of the Leviathan field has already expanded from an estimated 16.7 trillion cubic feet (tcf ) of gas to nineteen trillion – and counting:

    ”We’ve discovered nearly 40 tcf of gas, and we have roughly 19 tcf of that gas that’s available for export to both regional and extra-regional markets. We see exports reaching 2 billion cubic feet a day in capacity in the next decade. And we continue to explore.”, stated Noble Vice Chairman Keith Elliot (ii) There are also estimated to be possibly six hundred million barrels of oil, according to Michael Economides of energytribune.com (“Eastern Mediterranean Energy – the next Great Game.”)

    However, even these estimates may prove modest. In their: “Assessment of Undiscovered Oil and Gas Resources of the Levant Basin Province, Eastern Mediterranean”, the US Department of the Interior’s US Geological Survey, wrote in 2010:

    “We estimated a mean of 1.7 billion barrels of recoverable oil and a mean of 122 trillion cubic feet of recoverable gas in this province using a geology based assessment methodology.”

    Nevertheless, Woodside Petroleum, might also be hesitant to become involved in further disputes, since they are already embroiled, with the Australian government, in a protracted one in East Timor relating to the bonanaza of energy and minerals beneath the Timor Sea, which has even led to East Timor accusing Australia “of bugging East Timorese officials during the negotiations over the agreement.”(iii)

    Whilst Israel claims them as her very own treasure trove, only a fraction of the sea’s wealth lies in Israel’s bailiwick as maps (iv, v, see below) clearly show.

    Much is still unexplored, but currently Palestine’s Gaza and the West Bank between them show the greatest discoveries, with anything found in Lebanon and Syria’s territorial waters sure to involve claims from both countries.





    In a pre-emptive move, on Christmas Day, Syria announced a deal with Russia to explore 2,190 kilometres (850 Sq. miles) for oil and gas off its Mediterranean coast, to be: “… financed by Russia, and should oil and gas be discovered in commercial quantities, Moscow will recover the exploration costs.”

    Syrian Oil Minister, Ali Abbas said during the signing ceremony that the contract covers “25 years, over several phases.”

    Syria, increasingly crippled by international sanctions, has seen oil production plummet by ninety percent since the largely Western fermented unrest began in March 2011. Gas production has nearly halved, from thirty million cubic metres a day, to 16.7 cubic metres daily.

    The agreement is reported to have resulted from “months of long negotiations” between the two countries. Russia, as one of the Syrian government’s main backers, looks set to also become a major player in the Levant Basin’s energy wealth. (vi)

    Lebanon disputes Israel’s map of the Israeli-Lebanese maritime border, filing their own map and claims with the UN in 2010. Israel claims Lebanon is in the process of granting oil and gas exploration licenses in what Israel claims as its “exclusive economic zone.”

    That the US in the guise of Vice President Joe Biden, as honest broker, acting peace negotiator in the maritime border dispute would be laughable, were it not potential for Israel to attack their neighbour again. In a visit to Israel in March 2010, Biden announced: “There is absolutely no space between the United States and Israel when it comes to Israel’s security- none at all”, also announcing on arrival in Israel:”It’s good to be home.”

    Given US decades of “peace brokering” between Israel and Palestine, this is already a road of pitfalls, one sidedness and duplicity, well traveled. There is trouble ahead.

    Oh, and in demonology, Leviathan is one of the seven princes of Hell.

    Michel Chossudovsky’s


    Video: War and Natural Gas: The Israeli Invasion and Gaza’s Offshore Gas Fields

    By Prof Michel Chossudovsky, April 25, 2024

    Almost fifteen years ago in December 2008, Israel invaded Gaza under “Operation Cast Lead (2008-2009)”.

    The following article was first published by Global Research in January 2009 at the height of the Israeli bombing and invasion under Operation Cast Lead.

    War and Natural Gas:

    The Israeli Invasion and Gaza’s Offshore Gas Fields

    by Michel Chossudovsky

    January 8, 2009

    The December 2008 military invasion of the Gaza Strip by Israeli Forces bears a direct relation to the control and ownership of strategic offshore gas reserves.

    This is a war of conquest. Discovered in 2000, there are extensive gas reserves off the Gaza coastline.

    British Gas (BG Group) and its partner, the Athens based Consolidated Contractors International Company (CCC) owned by Lebanon’s Sabbagh and Koury families, were granted oil and gas exploration rights in a 25 year agreement signed in November 1999 with the Palestinian Authority.

    The rights to the offshore gas field are respectively British Gas (60 percent); Consolidated Contractors (CCC) (30 percent); and the Investment Fund of the Palestinian Authority (10 percent). (Haaretz, October 21, 2007).

    The PA-BG-CCC agreement includes field development and the construction of a gas pipeline.(Middle East Economic Digest, Jan 5, 2001).

    The BG licence covers the entire Gazan offshore marine area, which is contiguous to several Israeli offshore gas facilities. (See Map below). It should be noted that 60 percent of the gas reserves along the Gaza-Israel coastline belong to Palestine.

    The BG Group drilled two wells in 2000: Gaza Marine-1 and Gaza Marine-2. Reserves are estimated by British Gas to be of the order of 1.4 trillion cubic feet, valued at approximately 4 billion dollars. These are the figures made public by British Gas. The size of Palestine’s gas reserves could be much larger.

    Map 2

    Who Owns the Gas Fields

    The issue of sovereignty over Gaza’s gas fields is crucial. From a legal standpoint, the gas reserves belong to Palestine.

    The death of Yasser Arafat, the election of the Hamas government and the ruin of the Palestinian Authority have enabled Israel to establish de facto control over Gaza’s offshore gas reserves.

    British Gas (BG Group) has been dealing with the Tel Aviv government. In turn, the Hamas government has been bypassed in regards to exploration and development rights over the gas fields.

    The election of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in 2001 was a major turning point. Palestine’s sovereignty over the offshore gas fields was challenged in the Israeli Supreme Court. Sharon stated unequivocally that “Israel would never buy gas from Palestine” intimating that Gaza’s offshore gas reserves belong to Israel.

    In 2003, Ariel Sharon, vetoed an initial deal, which would allow British Gas to supply Israel with natural gas from Gaza’s offshore wells. (The Independent, August 19, 2003)

    The election victory of Hamas in 2006 was conducive to the demise of the Palestinian Authority, which became confined to the West Bank, under the proxy regime of Mahmoud Abbas.

    In 2006, British Gas “was close to signing a deal to pump the gas to Egypt.” (Times, May, 23, 2007). According to reports, British Prime Minister Tony Blair intervened on behalf of Israel with a view to shunting the agreement with Egypt.

    The following year, in May 2007, the Israeli Cabinet approved a proposal by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert “to buy gas from the Palestinian Authority.” The proposed contract was for $4 billion, with profits of the order of $2 billion of which one billion was to go the Palestinians.

    Tel Aviv, however, had no intention on sharing the revenues with Palestine. An Israeli team of negotiators was set up by the Israeli Cabinet to thrash out a deal with the BG Group, bypassing both the Hamas government and the Palestinian Authority:

    “Israeli defence authorities want the Palestinians to be paid in goods and services and insist that no money go to the Hamas-controlled Government.” (Ibid, emphasis added)

    The objective was essentially to nullify the contract signed in 1999 between the BG Group and the Palestinian Authority under Yasser Arafat.

    Under the proposed 2007 agreement with BG, Palestinian gas from Gaza’s offshore wells was to be channeled by an undersea pipeline to the Israeli seaport of Ashkelon, thereby transferring control over the sale of the natural gas to Israel.

    The deal fell through. The negotiations were suspended:

    “Mossad Chief Meir Dagan opposed the transaction on security grounds, that the proceeds would fund terror”. (Member of Knesset Gilad Erdan, Address to the Knesset on “The Intention of Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to Purchase Gas from the Palestinians When Payment Will Serve Hamas,” March 1, 2006, quoted in Lt. Gen. (ret.) Moshe Yaalon, Does the Prospective Purchase of British Gas from Gaza’s Coastal Waters Threaten Israel’s National Security? Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, October 2007)

    Israel’s intent was to foreclose the possibility that royalties be paid to the Palestinians. In December 2007, The BG Group withdrew from the negotiations with Israel and in January 2008 they closed their office in Israel.(BG website).

    Invasion Plan on The Drawing Board

    The invasion plan of the Gaza Strip under “Operation Cast Lead” was set in motion in June 2008, according to Israeli military sources:

    “Sources in the defense establishment said Defense Minister Ehud Barak instructed the Israel Defense Forces to prepare for the operation over six months ago [June or before June] , even as Israel was beginning to negotiate a ceasefire agreement with Hamas.”(Barak Ravid, Operation “Cast Lead”: Israeli Air Force strike followed months of planning, Haaretz, December 27, 2008)

    That very same month, the Israeli authorities contacted British Gas, with a view to resuming crucial negotiations pertaining to the purchase of Gaza’s natural gas:

    “Both Ministry of Finance director general Yarom Ariav and Ministry of National Infrastructures director general Hezi Kugler agreed to inform BG of Israel’s wish to renew the talks.

    The sources added that BG has not yet officially responded to Israel’s request, but that company executives would probably come to Israel in a few weeks to hold talks with government officials.” (Globes online- Israel’s Business Arena, June 23, 2008)

    The decision to speed up negotiations with British Gas (BG Group) coincided, chronologically, with the planning of the invasion of Gaza initiated in June. It would appear that Israel was anxious to reach an agreement with the BG Group prior to the invasion, which was already in an advanced planning stage.

    Moreover, these negotiations with British Gas were conducted by the Ehud Olmert government with the knowledge that a military invasion was on the drawing board. In all likelihood, a new “post war” political-territorial arrangement for the Gaza strip was also being contemplated by the Israeli government.

    In fact, negotiations between British Gas and Israeli officials were ongoing in October 2008, 2-3 months prior to the commencement of the bombings on December 27th.

    In November 2008, the Israeli Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of National Infrastructures instructed Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) to enter into negotiations with British Gas, on the purchase of natural gas from the BG’s offshore concession in Gaza. (Globes, November 13, 2008)

    “Ministry of Finance director general Yarom Ariav and Ministry of National Infrastructures director general Hezi Kugler wrote to IEC CEO Amos Lasker recently, informing him of the government’s decision to allow negotiations to go forward, in line with the framework proposal it approved earlier this year.

    The IEC board, headed by chairman Moti Friedman, approved the principles of the framework proposal a few weeks ago. The talks with BG Group will begin once the board approves the exemption from a tender.” (Globes Nov. 13, 2008)

    Gaza and Energy Geopolitics

    The military occupation of Gaza is intent upon transferring the sovereignty of the gas fields to Israel in violation of international law.

    What can we expect in the wake of the invasion?

    What is the intent of Israel with regard to Palestine’s Natural Gas reserves?

    A new territorial arrangement, with the stationing of Israeli and/or “peacekeeping” troops?

    The militarization of the entire Gaza coastline, which is strategic for Israel?

    The outright confiscation of Palestinian gas fields and the unilateral declaration of Israeli sovereignty over Gaza’s maritime areas?

    If this were to occur, the Gaza gas fields would be integrated into Israel’s offshore installations, which are contiguous to those of the Gaza Strip. (See Map 1 above)

    These various offshore installations are also linked up to Israel’s energy transport corridor, extending from the port of Eilat, which is an oil pipeline terminal, on the Red Sea to the seaport – pipeline terminal at Ashkelon, and northwards to Haifa, and eventually linking up through a proposed Israeli-Turkish pipeline with the Turkish port of Ceyhan.



    Map 3

    Ceyhan is the terminal of the Baku, Tblisi Ceyhan Trans Caspian pipeline.

    “What is envisaged is to link the BTC pipeline to the Trans-Israel Eilat-Ashkelon pipeline, also known as Israel’s Tipline.” (See Michel Chossudovsky, The War on Lebanon and the Battle for Oil, Global Research, July 23, 2006)

Confiscating Palestine’s Maritime Natural Gas Reserves Video Interview with Michel Chossudovsky To read translation into Arabic, scroll down AI فيديو: “محو غزة من الخريطة”: أجندة المال الكبير. مصادرة احتياطيات فلسطين من الغاز الطبيعي البحري لقراءة الترجمة إلى اللغة العربية، قم بالتمرير لأسفل Introduction Israel has launched an invasion (October 7, 2023) of the Gaza Strip. As outlined by Felicity Arbuthnot with foresight 10 years ago in a December, 30 2013 article: “Israel is set to become a major exporter of gas and some oil, “If All Goes to Plan”. In the current context, Israel’s “All Goes to Plan” option consists in bypassing Palestine and “Wiping Gaza off the Map”, as well confiscating ALL Gaza’s maritime offshore gas reserves, worth billions of dollars. The ultimate objective is not only to exclude Palestinians from their homeland, it consists in confiscating the multi-billion dollar Gaza offshore Natural Gas reserves, namely those pertaining to the BG (BG Group) in 1999, as well the Levant discoveries of 2013. Update. Israel’s Secret Intelligence Memorandum An official “secret” memorandum authored by Israel’s Ministry of Intelligence “is recommending the forcible and permanent transfer of the Gaza Strip’s 2.2 million Palestinian residents to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula”, namely to a refugee camp in Egyptian territory. There are indications of Israel-Egypt negotiations as well as consultations with the U.S. The 10-page document, dated Oct. 13, 2023, bears the logo of the Intelligence Ministry … assesses three options regarding the future of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip … It recommends a full population transfer as its preferred course of action. … The document, whose authenticity was confirmed by the ministry, has been translated into English in full here on +972.

Video added on October 27, 2023, Update, November 1, 2023 *** Video: Michel Chossudovsky, Interview with Caroline Mailloux, Lux Media To leave a comment and/or Access Rumble click to lower right hand corner Felicity Arbuthnot’s 2013 Analysis “The Giant Leviathan natural gas field, in the eastern Mediterranean, discovered in December 2010, widely described [by governments and media] as “off the coast of Israel.” These Levant reserves must be distinguished from those discovered in Gaza in 1999 by British Gas, which belong to Palestine. Felicity Arbuthnot’s analysis nonetheless confirms that “Part of the Leviathan Gas fields lie in Gazan territorial waters” (See Map Below). Whilst Israel claims them as her very own treasure trove, only a fraction of the sea’s wealth lies in Israel’s bailiwick as maps. Much is still unexplored, but currently Palestine’s Gaza and the West Bank between them show the greatest discoveries… (Felicity Arbuthnot, 2013) Flash Forward to October 2023 Netanyahu’s October 2023 declaration of war against 2.3 million people of the Gaza Strip is a continuation of its 2008-2009 invasion of Gaza under “Operation Cast Lead.” The underlying objective is the outright military occupation of Gaza by Israel’s IDF forces and the expulsion of Palestinians from their homeland. I should however mention that there are powerful financial interests which stand to benefit from Israel’s criminal undertaking (Genocide) directed against Gaza. . The ultimate objective is not only to exclude Palestinians from their homeland, it consists in confiscating the multi-billion dollar Gaza offshore Natural Gas reserves, namely those pertaining to the BG (BG Group) in 1999, as well the Levant discoveries of 2013. Egypt-Israel “Secret Bilateral Talks” In 2021-22, Egypt and Israel were involved in “secret bilateral talks” regarding “the extraction of natural gas off the coast of the Gaza Strip. “Egypt succeeded in persuading Israel to start extracting natural gas off the coast of the Gaza Strip, after several months of secret bilateral talks. This development … comes after years of Israeli objections to extract natural gas off the coast of Gaza on [alleged] security grounds, … British Gas (BG Group) has also been dealing with the Tel Aviv government. What is significant is that the civilian arm of the Hamas Gaza government has been bypassed in regards to exploration and development rights over the gas fields: The field, which lies about 30 kilometers (19 miles) west of the Gaza coast, was discovered in 2000 by British Gas (currently BG Group) and is estimated to contain more than 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. The official in the Egyptian intelligence service told Al-Monitor on condition of anonymity, “An Egyptian economic and security delegation discussed with the Israeli side for several months the issue of allowing the extraction of natural gas off the coast of Gaza. …Al-Monitor, October 22, 2022 A Memorandum of Understanding was signed between Egypt and Israel, which had the rubber-stamp of the Palestinian National Authority (PA): “The Egyptian official explained that Israel required the start of practical measures to extract gas from the Gaza fields at the beginning of 2024, to ensure its own security. (Al-Monitor, October 22, 2022 Netanyahu’s Timeline: “Before The Beginning of 2024” The timeline resulting from these bilateral Israel-Egypt “secret talks” i.e. confiscation of Palestine’s offshore Maritime Gas Reserves is “The Beginning of 2024”. United Nations Assessment An important United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) (2019) report describes Palestine’s predicament as follows: Geologists and natural resources economists have confirmed that the Occupied Palestinian Territory lies above sizeable reservoirs of oil and natural gas wealth, in Area C of the occupied West Bank and the Mediterranean coast off the Gaza Strip. However, occupation continues to prevent Palestinians from developing their energy fields so as to exploit and benefit from such assets. As such, the Palestinian people have been denied the benefits of using this natural resource to finance socioeconomic development and meet their need for energy. The accumulated losses are estimated in the billions of dollars. The longer Israel prevents Palestinians from exploiting their own oil and natural gas reserves, the greater the opportunity costs and the greater the total costs of the occupation borne by Palestinians become. This study identifies and assesses existing and potential Palestinian oil and natural gas reserves that could be exploited for the benefit of the Palestinian people, which Israel is either preventing them from exploiting or is exploiting without due regard for international law. (UNCTAD, August 2019, emphasis added, download complete report) Crimes against Humanity In the words of Netanyahu who is on Record for Supporting and Financing a faction within Hamas: “Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas … This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.” (Benjamin Netanyahu, statement at a March 2019 meeting of his Likud Party’s Knesset members, Haaretz, October 9, 2023, emphasis added) “Hamas was treated as a partner to the detriment of the Palestinian Authority to prevent Abbas from moving towards creating a Palestinian State. Hamas was promoted from a terrorist group to an organization with which Israel conducted negotiations through Egypt, and which was allowed to receive suitcases containing millions of dollars from Qatar through the Gaza crossings.” (Times of Israel, October 8, 2023, emphasis added) Crimes against humanity beyond description by the Netanyahu government against the People of Palestine, Crimes also committed against the People of Israel who are the victims of the Hamas “False Flag Attack” carefully engineered by Mossad-IDF. There are deep-seated divisions within Hamas. Our “False Flag” analysis pertains to a military-intelligence faction within Hamas which cooperates with Israeli and U.S. intelligence.

By Philip Giraldi and Prof Michel Chossudovsky, October 20, 2023 Michel Chossudovsky, Global Research, October 21, 2023 Below is the 2013 article by Felicity Arbuthnot Israel Gas-Oil and Trouble in the Levant by Felicity Arbuthnot Global Research, December 13, 2013 Israel is set to become a major exporter of gas and some oil, if all goes to plan. The giant Leviathan natural gas field, in the eastern Mediterranean, discovered in December 2010, is widely described as “off the coast of Israel.” At the time the gas field was: “ … the most prominent field ever found in the sub-explored area of the Levantine Basin, which covers about 83,000 square kilometres of the eastern Mediterranean region.” (i) Coupled with Tamar field, in the same location, discovered in 2009, the prospects are for an energy bonanza for Israel, for Houston, Texas based Noble Energy and partners Delek Drilling, Avner Oil Exploration and Ratio Oil Exploration. Also involved is Perth, Australia-based Woodside Petroleum, which has signed a memorandum of understanding for a thirty percent stake in the project, in negotiations which have been described as “up and down.” There is currently speculation that Woodside might pull out of the deal: “ …since the original plans to refrigerate the gas for export were pursued when relations between Israel and Turkey were strained. That has changed, more recently, which has opened the door for gas to be piped to Turkey.” The spoils of the Leviathan field has already expanded from an estimated 16.7 trillion cubic feet (tcf ) of gas to nineteen trillion – and counting: ”We’ve discovered nearly 40 tcf of gas, and we have roughly 19 tcf of that gas that’s available for export to both regional and extra-regional markets. We see exports reaching 2 billion cubic feet a day in capacity in the next decade. And we continue to explore.”, stated Noble Vice Chairman Keith Elliot (ii) There are also estimated to be possibly six hundred million barrels of oil, according to Michael Economides of energytribune.com (“Eastern Mediterranean Energy – the next Great Game.”) However, even these estimates may prove modest. In their: “Assessment of Undiscovered Oil and Gas Resources of the Levant Basin Province, Eastern Mediterranean”, the US Department of the Interior’s US Geological Survey, wrote in 2010: “We estimated a mean of 1.7 billion barrels of recoverable oil and a mean of 122 trillion cubic feet of recoverable gas in this province using a geology based assessment methodology.” Nevertheless, Woodside Petroleum, might also be hesitant to become involved in further disputes, since they are already embroiled, with the Australian government, in a protracted one in East Timor relating to the bonanaza of energy and minerals beneath the Timor Sea, which has even led to East Timor accusing Australia “of bugging East Timorese officials during the negotiations over the agreement.”(iii) Woodside’s conflict in East Timor however, may well pale against what might well erupt over the Leviathan and Tamar fields. The area is not for nothing called the Levantine Basin. Whilst Israel claims them as her very own treasure trove, only a fraction of the sea’s wealth lies in Israel’s bailiwick as maps (iv, v, see below) clearly show. Much is still unexplored, but currently Palestine’s Gaza and the West Bank between them show the greatest discoveries, with anything found in Lebanon and Syria’s territorial waters sure to involve claims from both countries. In a pre-emptive move, on Christmas Day, Syria announced a deal with Russia to explore 2,190 kilometres (850 Sq. miles) for oil and gas off its Mediterranean coast, to be: “… financed by Russia, and should oil and gas be discovered in commercial quantities, Moscow will recover the exploration costs.” Syrian Oil Minister, Ali Abbas said during the signing ceremony that the contract covers “25 years, over several phases.” Syria, increasingly crippled by international sanctions, has seen oil production plummet by ninety percent since the largely Western fermented unrest began in March 2011.

The agreement is reported to have resulted from “months of long negotiations” between the two countries. Russia, as one of the Syrian government’s main backers, looks set to also become a major player in the Levant Basin’s energy wealth. (vi) Lebanon disputes Israel’s map of the Israeli-Lebanese maritime border, filing their own map and claims with the UN in 2010. Israel claims Lebanon is in the process of granting oil and gas exploration licenses in what Israel claims as its “exclusive economic zone.” That the US in the guise of Vice President Joe Biden, as honest broker, acting peace negotiator in the maritime border dispute would be laughable, were it not potential for Israel to attack their neighbour again. In a visit to Israel in March 2010, Biden announced: “There is absolutely no space between the United States and Israel when it comes to Israel’s security- none at all”, also announcing on arrival in Israel:”It’s good to be home.” Given US decades of “peace brokering” between Israel and Palestine, this is already a road of pitfalls, one sidedness and duplicity, well traveled.

It would appear that Israel was anxious to reach an agreement with the BG Group prior to the invasion, which was already in an advanced planning stage. Moreover, these negotiations with British Gas were conducted by the Ehud Olmert government with the knowledge that a military invasion was on the drawing board. In all likelihood, a new “post war” political-territorial arrangement for the Gaza strip was also being contemplated by the Israeli government. In fact, negotiations between British Gas and Israeli officials were ongoing in October 2008, 2-3 months prior to the commencement of the bombings on December 27th. In November 2008, the Israeli Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of National Infrastructures instructed Israel Electric Corporation (IEC) to enter into negotiations with British Gas, on the purchase of natural gas from the BG’s offshore concession in Gaza. (Globes, November 13, 2008) “Ministry of Finance director general Yarom Ariav and Ministry of National Infrastructures director general Hezi Kugler wrote to IEC CEO Amos Lasker recently, informing him of the government’s decision to allow negotiations to go forward, in line with the framework proposal it approved earlier this year. The IEC board, headed by chairman Moti Friedman, approved the principles of the framework proposal a few weeks ago. The talks with BG Group will begin once the board approves the exemption from a tender.” (Globes Nov. 13, 2008) Gaza and Energy Geopolitics The military occupation of Gaza is intent upon transferring the sovereignty of the gas fields to Israel in violation of international law. What can we expect in the wake of the invasion? What is the intent of Israel with regard to Palestine’s Natural Gas reserves? A new territorial arrangement, with the stationing of Israeli and/or “peacekeeping” troops? The militarization of the entire Gaza coastline, which is strategic for Israel? The outright confiscation of Palestinian gas fields and the unilateral declaration of Israeli sovereignty over Gaza’s maritime areas? If this were to occur, the Gaza gas fields would be integrated into Israel’s offshore installations, which are contiguous to those of the Gaza Strip. (See Map 1 above) These various offshore installations are also linked up to Israel’s energy transport corridor, extending from the port of Eilat, which is an oil pipeline terminal, on the Red Sea to the seaport – pipeline terminal at Ashkelon, and northwards to Haifa, and eventually linking up through a proposed Israeli-Turkish pipeline with the Turkish port of Ceyhan. Map 3 Ceyhan is the terminal of the Baku, Tblisi Ceyhan Trans Caspian pipeline. “What is envisaged is to link the BTC pipeline to the Trans-Israel Eilat-Ashkelon pipeline, also known as Israel’s Tipline.” (See Michel Chossudovsky, The War on Lebanon and the Battle for Oil, Global Research, July 23, 2006) Readers’ Thanks to Michel Chossudovsky https://www.globalresearch.ca/israel-gas-oil-and-trouble-in-the-levant/5362955

  • The 5 Best Mountain Bike Bags ?
    https://ebikereviewerdentinygraves.blogspot.com/2024/10/the-5-best-mountain-bike-bags.html
    The Deuter Cabazon FB bag is an affordable yet efficient solution that's quick to load.

    While it doesn't offer as much crush protection as its competitors, such as EVOC and Polaris bags, it fits easily onto most bikes while remaining cost-effective.

    If you prefer long bikepacking trips and require large capacities, consider the Patagonia Dirt Roamer 20L pack.

    Built from sustainable materials and featuring an ample main compartment for water and gear storage, this durable option from Patagonia stands up well against competition.

    The 5 Best Mountain Bike Bags
    1. Swift Industries Hold Fast Frame Bag
    Swift Industries Hold Fast Half Frame Bag provides an ideal place for you to store tent poles, pumps and hydration bladders as well as small items you want within reach such as snacks or your phone.

    The Hold Fast uses large Velcro straps that connect directly to d-rings on a bike frame and feed through its top tube, creating an adjustable system that ensures secure fitting on most bikes.

    Although these straps cannot be moved around freely, their placement and size provide for optimal fitting across a wide variety of bikes.

    The Hold Fast features a convenient zippered pocket on its non-drive side of its frame for storing small tools, locks and any other necessities you might need for short rides or bikepacking trips.

    Deuter's Cabazon FB bag differs from most others we tested by not being designed to be bolted directly onto a frame, lacking extra threaded bosses for mounting.

    Instead, this rigid frame bag boasts thick foam sewn into its panels and polymer sheets welded along its front panel that prevent creases or hits during pedal strokes, significantly decreasing rider fatigue.

    2. Deuter Cabazon FB
    If you need a bag that can carry plenty of gear and fit securely on the top tube, seat tube, or down tube of your bike without feeling cumbersome or bulky, check out the Deuter Cabazon FB half-frame bag - fully waterproof with various mounting points that fits a wide variety of bike shapes; its waterproof material makes for reliable operation while the spacious storage capacity provides enough capacity without feeling bulky or heavy.

    This Scott version of Evoc's classic design utilizes thin aluminium poles to keep its upper form, much like tent poles, while internal fixings securely fastening it to your frame and separate compartments house wheels up to 29in in diameter.

    Although larger than some rivals, this model can easily accommodate full-on enduro bikes with maximum wheelbase of 1,280mm; nevertheless it still falls short in comparison with true soft cases.

    An EVOC Pro case features a combination of rigid base and soft upper sections for greater protection, while some models from Dakine even come equipped with workstands so you can assemble your bike upon reaching its destination.

    3. Topeak Midloader Half-Frame Bag
    Frame bags require more customization than handlebar or saddle bags; however, they provide a great place to store your gear without interfering with cables, gears or brake systems.

    This Topeak Midloader frame bag is a sturdy yet practical option which works exceptionally well.

    The outer fabric is made of textured nylon while its undersides feature hardwearing plastic piped around their interface with your bike for extra protection against rubbing and premature wear. Unlike some frame bags, its main opening sits on the drive side while there's also a small zipper pocket on the non-drive side for quick storage of gel packs or bars.

    Topeak has designed this bag with adjustable velcro straps that provide for more customized fits and minimize sway, providing for a better customized ride and reduced sway.

    Furthermore, these thick and burly straps help grip thin steel tubes to prevent frame bags from moving around while you ride.

    Furthermore, its waterproof zipper has large toggles which are easy to grab with gloves on.

    4. Velcro Straps Frame Bag
    An ideal frame bag for those wanting to move riding essentials from their back and arms onto their bike.

    Wide straps (though perhaps too long) sewn directly into the Cordura outer offer multiple mounting positions; waterproof zipper is covered by velcro flap to keep water out; additional rigid plastic base above rear suspension pivot helps prevent too much sagging of bag.

    Frame mounts are quick and simple to set up, with one locking the bag to the top tube and another on the seat tube.

    Its compact design enables it to fit easily on smaller frames while leaving enough room for bottle bosses and bottle bosses.

    Furthermore, this bag handles well while remaining secure during rough terrain rides.

    3.8-litre capacity makes this frame bag quite roomy for its size; however, more organization would have been helpful.

    Also fairly heavy but less noticeable than some larger bags due to carbon strut support keeping the contents secure from sagging or bumping into legs.

    5. Trek Tube Bag
    This frame bag is made from stiff and thick materials; its main fabric is thin ripstop nylon while a layer of polymer was sewn to its panel on top tube to form an extremely rigid bag - this means less chance for sag that might interfere with pedal stroke, like some thinner frame bags we tested.

    Furthermore, there's a wide zipper pocket and three interior mesh pockets to store small things like pumps.

    The bag uses movable Velcro straps to securely fasten it to the bike, and comes in three sizes to ensure a proper fit.

    Each of its long straps are equipped with rubber O-rings to contain excess length - providing effective bag security despite leaving potential entryways for water in heavy rainfall conditions.

    The Trek Tube Bag features internal storage for BITS-compliant frame tools (such as spare tube, tire levers and CO2 inflator) so you're prepared for a flat without fuss or delay.

    Unfortunately, this feature is not available on all bikes but remains an attractive option when available.

    Q. Who should use mountain bike bags?
    Mountain bike bags are ideal for all types of riders, from casual weekend cyclists to serious mountain bikers. They are especially useful for those who ride long distances, go on off-road adventures, or participate in bikepacking trips. Whether you're commuting, doing a day ride, or taking a multi-day tour, having the right bag makes carrying your essentials much easier.

    Q. How do I properly install and maintain a mountain bike bag?
    The installation depends on the type of bag:

    Saddle bags: These typically come with straps that wrap around the seat rails or seat post.
    Frame bags: They usually have Velcro straps or mounting points to secure them within the frame.
    Handlebar bags: Most handlebar bags have adjustable straps or clips that easily attach to the handlebars.
    Hydration backpacks: These require no installation but should be adjusted for a snug fit when worn.

    For maintenance, regularly check the bags for wear and tear, clean them after muddy rides, and ensure the zippers and fastenings are in good working condition. If your bag is waterproof, check for any leaks or areas where water may seep in over time.

    Conclusion
    Selecting the right mountain bike bag can significantly enhance your riding experience, whether you’re a casual cyclist or an avid bikepacker.

    by Carlo Domenico Cristofori

    Major General Aleksei Rtishchev, Deputy Chief of the Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Protection Troops of the Russian Armed Forces, recently delivered a briefing highlighting U.S. biological activity in Africa. In the following excerpt, he states, “The US administration views the region as an unlimited natural reservoir of dangerous infectious agents and a testing ground for experimental medical drugs.”:

    The documents available to the Russian Defense Ministry show that the United States is ramping up its biological warfare presence on the African continent, Deputy Chief of Russia’s Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops Major General Aleksey Rtishchev told a briefing on Tuesday.

    Russia’s top brass: “US ramping up biological warfare presence in Africa”

    “The documents at our disposal confirm that the US biological warfare presence on the African continent is growing at a rapid pace. Research institutes of the US Department of Defense actively work in the region,” the defense official said.


    For example, branches of the US National Naval Military Medical Center are stationed in Ghana and Djibouti where active work is carried out in natural disease foci, isolation and sequencing of pathogens, the Russian general said.

    The US Army Military Medical Center in Kenya has deployed a network of field stations to monitor the spread of infectious diseases in Equatorial Africa. In Nigeria, a joint medical research center and a military medical laboratory of the armed forces of the republic have been established in 2024, with 10 specialists of the US Department of Defense permanently on staff, he said.

    The statement comes just days after the horrific bomb attack in which Ukrainian intelligence, with the support of Western intelligence, killed General Igor Kirillov, commander of Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Protection Troops of the Russian Armed Forces, in revenge for his investigations into Ukrainian biolaboratories and to nip in the bud his investigations into African ones.

    The official Russian statement confirms what has already been discovered in multiple previous investigations by Gospa News on viruses analyzed and manipulated in Pentagon biolaboratories such as SARS-Cov-2.



    The Pentagon uses the relevant infrastructure and potential of African countries to conduct military-biological research. The US government customers are the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), the National Security Agency and the US State Department.

    The main consumers of the research results are the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) and the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, he said.

    “At the same time, the United States does not disclose the ultimate goals of the experiments to partners, who are often unaware of the risks associated with the implementation of US programs,” the Russian general said.

    American specialists capable of enhancing the pathogenic functions of microorganisms are actively operating in Africa. The Russian Defense Ministry has unveiled which officials from the United States and various African nations are involved in the implementation of military biological programs on the African continent

    “After analyzing the acquired documents, we understood the structure of the system created by the US Administration to mitigate biological risks on the territory of other countries. This system has been successfully tested in Ukraine and Georgia and now it actively works on the African continent,” Deputy Chief of the Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Protection Troops of the Russian Armed Forces Major General Alexey Rtishchev said. told a briefing.

    The efforts within the framework of this system are directed at acquiring pathogens in endemic areas and natural foci, controlling and managing the biological situation for their own benefit, Rtishchev stressed, adding that one of the tasks is analyzing the epidemic situations along the borders of geopolitical rivals in the presumed deployment areas of military contingents.

    U.S. African Biolab Complex Sponsored by the Gates and Clinton Foundations

    Washington deploys the system of biological controls in Africa according to a plan that was used before, he noted.

    “I would like to remind you that the deployment of the American system of biological controls goes according to a plan that was used before. Concerns are primarily raised about regular outbreaks of, for example, anthrax and tularemia in one region, and foot-and-mouth disease and plague in the another,” Rtishchev said.

    As a rule, these concerns are pointed out during meetings between US ambassadors and representatives of the countries’ health ministries, the official said.

    “American counterparts note that such outbreaks undermine the development of the region’s economic potential. They question the training level of leadership and specialists, when it comes to neutralizing biological threats, and state the need to improve their qualifications. Against this background, it is proposed to establish a center for disease diagnostics and testing of medical products within one or two years, which will study dangerous pathogens and mechanisms of their mutations, and develop and test modern vaccines,” he said.

    It is also planned to involve local specialists in the research projects of the US DoD Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), according to Rtishchev.

    “It is proposed that the US is to prepare a three-month training programme for the center’s employees. The integration of regional information systems into the US electronic disease surveillance system is discussed. The representatives of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency often advise their partners to accelerate that process and pay particular attention to ensuring the non-stop work of the necessary equipment and network communications,” he said, adding that $5-10 mln are allocated to achieve these goals with a possible increase in funding up to $20 mln, “taking into account the implementation of the first phase of the project.”

    The US government authorities and private contracting companies, including the so-called Big Pharma enterprises, are involved in organizing cooperation with local relevant ministries, Rtishchev concluded.

    The following are sponsors of these biological activities, including but not limited to the Gates Foundation and Clinton Foundation

    The US is actively engaged in:

    Nigeria: A joint medical research center and a military medical laboratory for the armed forces were established in 2024.
    Kenya: The US Army Military Medical Center has deployed a network of field stations to monitor the spread of infectious diseases throughout Equatorial Africa.
    Senegal: A new $35 million laboratory facility is nearing completion. This project involves the same Pentagon contractors that have worked in the former Soviet Union, including Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine.
    Ghana and Djibouti: The US has established branches of the National Naval Medical Center and is actively addressing natural disease outbreaks and isolating pathogens.

In the following excerpt, he states, “The US administration views the region as an unlimited natural reservoir of dangerous infectious agents and a testing ground for experimental medical drugs.”: The documents available to the Russian Defense Ministry show that the United States is ramping up its biological warfare presence on the African continent, Deputy Chief of Russia’s Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops Major General Aleksey Rtishchev told a briefing on Tuesday. Russia’s top brass: “US ramping up biological warfare presence in Africa” “The documents at our disposal confirm that the US biological warfare presence on the African continent is growing at a rapid pace. Research institutes of the US Department of Defense actively work in the region,” the defense official said. For example, branches of the US National Naval Military Medical Center are stationed in Ghana and Djibouti where active work is carried out in natural disease foci, isolation and sequencing of pathogens, the Russian general said. The US Army Military Medical Center in Kenya has deployed a network of field stations to monitor the spread of infectious diseases in Equatorial Africa. In Nigeria, a joint medical research center and a military medical laboratory of the armed forces of the republic have been established in 2024, with 10 specialists of the US Department of Defense permanently on staff, he said. The statement comes just days after the horrific bomb attack in which Ukrainian intelligence, with the support of Western intelligence, killed General Igor Kirillov, commander of Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Protection Troops of the Russian Armed Forces, in revenge for his investigations into Ukrainian biolaboratories and to nip in the bud his investigations into African ones. The official Russian statement confirms what has already been discovered in multiple previous investigations by Gospa News on viruses analyzed and manipulated in Pentagon biolaboratories such as SARS-Cov-2. The Pentagon uses the relevant infrastructure and potential of African countries to conduct military-biological research. The US government customers are the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), the National Security Agency and the US State Department. The main consumers of the research results are the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) and the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, he said. “At the same time, the United States does not disclose the ultimate goals of the experiments to partners, who are often unaware of the risks associated with the implementation of US programs,” the Russian general said. American specialists capable of enhancing the pathogenic functions of microorganisms are actively operating in Africa. The Russian Defense Ministry has unveiled which officials from the United States and various African nations are involved in the implementation of military biological programs on the African continent read more – ALL US OFFICIALS INVOLVED IN MILITARY BIOLOGICAL PROGRAMS IN AFRICA “After analyzing the acquired documents, we understood the structure of the system created by the US Administration to mitigate biological risks on the territory of other countries. This system has been successfully tested in Ukraine and Georgia and now it actively works on the African continent,” Deputy Chief of the Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Protection Troops of the Russian Armed Forces Major General Alexey Rtishchev said. told a briefing. The efforts within the framework of this system are directed at acquiring pathogens in endemic areas and natural foci, controlling and managing the biological situation for their own benefit, Rtishchev stressed, adding that one of the tasks is analyzing the epidemic situations along the borders of geopolitical rivals in the presumed deployment areas of military contingents. U.S. African Biolab Complex Sponsored by the Gates and Clinton Foundations Washington deploys the system of biological controls in Africa according to a plan that was used before, he noted. “I would like to remind you that the deployment of the American system of biological controls goes according to a plan that was used before. Concerns are primarily raised about regular outbreaks of, for example, anthrax and tularemia in one region, and foot-and-mouth disease and plague in the another,” Rtishchev said. read more – ALL US CONTRACTORS INVOLVED IN MILITARY BIOLOGICAL PROGRAMS IN AFRICA As a rule, these concerns are pointed out during meetings between US ambassadors and representatives of the countries’ health ministries, the official said. “American counterparts note that such outbreaks undermine the development of the region’s economic potential. They question the training level of leadership and specialists, when it comes to neutralizing biological threats, and state the need to improve their qualifications. Against this background, it is proposed to establish a center for disease diagnostics and testing of medical products within one or two years, which will study dangerous pathogens and mechanisms of their mutations, and develop and test modern vaccines,” he said. It is also planned to involve local specialists in the research projects of the US DoD Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), according to Rtishchev. WUHAN-GATES – 62. MANMADE SARS-Cov-2 FOR GOLDEN VACCINES: Metabiota, CIA, Biden, Gates, Rockefeller intrigued in Ukraine, China and Italy “It is proposed that the US is to prepare a three-month training programme for the center’s employees. The integration of regional information systems into the US electronic disease surveillance system is discussed. The representatives of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency often advise their partners to accelerate that process and pay particular attention to ensuring the non-stop work of the necessary equipment and network communications,” he said, adding that $5-10 mln are allocated to achieve these goals with a possible increase in funding up to $20 mln, “taking into account the implementation of the first phase of the project.” The US government authorities and private contracting companies, including the so-called Big Pharma enterprises, are involved in organizing cooperation with local relevant ministries, Rtishchev concluded. The following are sponsors of these biological activities, including but not limited to the Gates Foundation and Clinton Foundation The US is actively engaged in: Nigeria: A joint medical research center and a military medical laboratory for the armed forces were established in 2024. Kenya: The US Army Military Medical Center has deployed a network of field stations to monitor the spread of infectious diseases throughout Equatorial Africa. Senegal: A new $35 million laboratory facility is nearing completion. This project involves the same Pentagon contractors that have worked in the former Soviet Union, including Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine. Ghana and Djibouti: The US has established branches of the National Naval Medical Center and is actively addressing natural disease outbreaks and isolating pathogens. Update! WUHAN-GATES 43.
