Forever Wars: UNSC passes ‘paper tiger-humanitarian pause’ Resolution!

On 15NOV2023, the United Nations Security Council passed the Malta initiated Resolution 2023-876 calling for unhindered humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza, demands the cessation of attacks against hospitals, civilians and aid workers!  12 countries voted in favor, no country voted against it, Russia, United Kingdom and United States joined together in abstaining from voting on the UNSC resolution!

After the U.S. abstained from voting, the U.S. ambassador hypocritically praised the resolution, then denounced Russia and China, and blamed Palestinians for the war!

Israel to ignore UNSC resolution, the Israeli ambassador to the UN says hospitals are “fortified bases”! Palestinian ambassador to the UN says the resolution is a paper tiger, calling it “selective outrage” that does nothing about ending the war, or enforcing international laws of war/humanitarian war crimes!

Some Facebook groups (I am now no longer part of), removed all my posts about the UNSC resolution on Gaza! Blind Bat News was also blocked, possibly due to the use of recent, verifiable, international news-media reports concerning Israel!

Officials with CBP and the Honduras Customs Administration, sign the Trump era Foreign Electronic Cargo Data Exchange Program (FECDEP) during a signing ceremony at CBP Headquarters on 13NOV2023. FECDEP was revealed by Homeland Security during the Trump era, it is a digital tracking system for consumer supply chain logistical operations that are considered high-risk for being used to smuggle illegal drugs: “The NTC’s Global Targeting Advisory Division (GTAD) started a program in 2018 to negotiate non-binding cargo data exchange arrangements for the Foreign Electronic Cargo Data Exchange Program (FECDEP) with international partners, often other customs services, to receive their manifest cargo data electronically. The cargo manifest data being shared is a subset of the Cargo and Conveyance Manifest Information collected by the foreign partner. This data includes information on the goods transported on board a particular conveyance, including transportation and cargo bill of lading/air waybill information received prior to arrival in the United States and provided to a competent government authority by the involved parties. For FECDEP, under a cargo data exchange arrangement, a foreign partner will agree to transfer its electronic cargo data to CBP’s Automated Targeting System (ATS). The goal of the FECDEP program is to collect cargo manifest data with no nexus to the United States and gain access to cargo data not normally available to CBP for use in targeting and risk assessment. Currently, CBP has two active FECDEP agreements in place (Panama and Peru) and thirteen FECDEP agreements in process.”-Homeland Security, Privacy Impact Assessment-Automated Targeting System

Operation Jupiter: Another State caught illegally selling baby blood to Department of Defense!?

U.S. 4th Amendment: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated….”

Is this proof that your NATO-U.S. government/military is being controlled by a bunch of ‘vampires’?

Law360, 03NOV2023: New Jersey Keeps ‘Creepy Database’ Of Infant Blood, sells samples to Pentagon!

Institute for Justice, 02NOV2023: Civil rights group sues New Jersey to stop secret storage, use of baby blood…  Blood is secretly used by law enforcement!

“The state does not ask parents for their consent to keep their babies’ blood, failing to even inform parents that it will hold on to the residual blood. The only way parents could learn about such retention is by proactively looking it up on one of the third-party websites listed on the bottom of the card they’re given after the blood draw. And, once the state has the blood, it can use it however it wishes, including selling it to third parties, giving it to police without a warrant, or even selling it to the Pentagon to create a registry—as previously happened in Texas.”

They do not want to become a new version of Syria, subject to repeated Israeli strikes without a response.”-Iraqi official speaking under the condition of anonymity, 30OCT2023, concerning efforts to build an air defense system that can destroy any Israeli attack

There are reports that a drone bomb hit a U.S. military barracks in Iraq, it did not detonate! The Times of Israel reports that U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria have been attacked at least 23 times since the beginning of the Israeli war on Gaza!

Voice of America says the U.S. blames Iran:

Today, it has been revealed that yesterday’s secretive meeting between Secretary of State Blinken and the Defense Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), Prince Khalid bin Salman Al Saud, was about finding a fast end to the current Israeli war on Palestinians. The Defense Minister of KSA says the Israel/Palestine war is spilling over and impeding their efforts in Yemen!

The Times of Israel, 01NOV2023: Rebels in Yemen “launched a large batch of drones during the past hours at several targets”!

Haaretz, 01NOV2023: Surprise rocket attacks by rebels in Yemen will force the U.S. to change its support of Israel!

Here is the strange U.S. Department of State ‘press conference’ video from 01NOV2023, in which Blinken refuses to make any statement, or take questions from reporters:

Also today, Secretary of State Blinken left for Jordan and Israel for emergency meetings to discuss allowing hundreds of U.S. citizens in Gaza to leave (Israel controls the border crossings and has not been allowing foreigners to leave Gaza), a “humanitarian pause” (the new official phrase for cease fire) and peace deal, and the creation of a Palestinian State (among other things), in an effort to stop the war from spreading to other countries!

Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system failed to identify the rockets launched from Lebanon! An Israeli military barracks was bombed by drones! Israeli officials in the Kiryat Shmona settlement report they are under drone attack, residents ordered to remain in bomb shelters! Lebanon’s Hezbollah reports they have also begun attacks on Israeli military positions!

Israeli settlers in The West Bank are now rampaging, burning down Palestinian homes and business, and killing Palestinians! United Nations says at least 1-thousand West Bank Palestinians have been displaced, this is legally known as Ethnic Cleansing!

United Nations threatens War Crimes charges due to massive civilian deaths (at least 9-thousand), and after Israel bombs another UN operated elementary school in a Gaza refugee camp!  This is not the first time during this war that Israel targeted a UN school: 11 UN staff, 30 pupils at UN schools, killed in Gaza!

Russia says Israel’s continued attacks on Syria are not “acceptable”! On 30OCT2023, the United Nations special envoy in Syria says Israel is spilling the war into Syria!

Forever Wars: Cold War era wargame ‘Tiger Meet’ continues in 2023!

02 November 2023 (09:21-UTC-07 Tango 06) 11 Aban 1402/18 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1445/19 Gui-Hai 4721/02 ноябрь 2023 года

Cold War: Approximately 1947 (due to U.S. President Harry Truman’s Truman Doctrine) to 1991 (Operation Desert Storm, collapse of Soviet Union).

According to the official Tiger Meet organization, the origin of the wargame was a result of pilots from one North Atlantic Treaty Organization country (United Kingdom) boasting that they were better than pilots from another NATO country (United States). The Tiger Meet name was influenced by the name of a U.S. Air Force squadron based on the United Kingdom. The first Tiger Meet competition took place in the early 1960s.

This year’s NATO-Tiger Meet took place over Gioia del Colle Air Base in southern Italy.

In 2001, a Tiger Meet of the Americas competition was launched, officially it is not linked to what became the NATO Tiger Meets in Europe.

Israeli airline El Al has notified the government of Japan that flights from Tel Aviv to Narita Airport, near Tokyo, are canceled from 31OCT2023 until March 2024.

Normally, El Al suspends flights during the December to February months due to naturally low passenger numbers, but this time airline administrators say it is because of the Israeli operation against Palestinians,  known as Swords of Iron.  El Al blames this on the “security situation”, which has resulted in massive cancelations by passengers.

In May, 2019, Israel and Japan announced new non-stop flights. Photo via Israel’s Government Press Office.

This includes the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Gerald R.

We have also taken steps to augment U.S. Air Force F-35, F-15, F-16, and A-10 fighter aircraft squadrons in the region. The U.S. maintains ready forces globally to further reinforce this deterrence posture if required.”
