Black Hawk Down [2001)

While “Al-Qaeda” (the CIA, elements of the CIA-infiltrated Pentagon, and Mossad) were putting the finishing touches on the false-flag, stand-down of September 11, 2001, Ridley Scott was filming his propagandistic masterpiece Black Hawk Down so that it would be ready for a December 2001/January 2002 release–just in time to tug at the heartstrings of young Americans who were vulnerable enough to the massive 9/11 PSYOP to rush to their local U.S. military recruiting station to go fight the “War on Terror”.

Interesting timing.

To clarify, real events from 1993 (the botched Delta Force/Army Rangers raid on Mogadishu, Somalia) were given the Hollywood treatment and were in the can…ready to be screened a mere 3-4 months after 9/11/01.

What a coincidence!

What do you know about helicopter crashes?

Feb. 6, 2024:  former Chilean President Sebastián Piñera was killed in a helicopter which he himself crash-landed.  All three passengers survived.

Apr. 21, 2024.  two Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force helicopters crash (believed to have collided with one another).  One dead, eight missing.

Apr. 23, 2024:  two Malaysian Naval helicopters collide killing all ten collectively aboard the two craft.

When do we realize there is a new technology?

Israel has Gaza surrounded.

Iran has Israel surrounded.

To the west is HAMAS (Gaza).

To the north is Hezbollah (Lebanon).

To the east is the Islamic Resistance in Iraq.

To the south are the Houthis (Yemen).

As Israel continues to pummel Gaza, these four entities continue to militarily engage with Israel.

The only one of the four entities which is not engaging Israel directly is Yemen (northern Yemen AKA the Houthis).

[the Houthis are conducting a legitimate goal of conventional warfare–attempting to cut off the supply lines of Israel (by way of hitting Israel-bound ships in the Red Sea)]

Of course, Israel is still being supplied via land routes.

And Israel, in turn, is besieging Gaza (withholding supplies to collectively punish the Palestinians there).

It bears mentioning that, for the 1,143 Israelis which HAMAS killed on Oct. 7, 2023, Israel has killed about 35,000 [sic] people in Gaza.

An eye for an eye.

ONLY one eye for each eye taken.

[Leviticus 24:19-21]

NOT 35 eyes for every eye!!!

And now the President of Iran has died in a helicopter crash.

Let me be clear:  it is very sad that 1,143 Israelis were murdered on Oct. 7, 2023.

If those men, women, and children had been your relatives, you would be sick with grief.

And likewise for the 35,000 people killed (murdered?) by Israel in Gaza so far.

Of the 1,143 Israelis killed on Oct. 7, 36 were children.

Of the 35,000 people killed in Gaza so far (since Oct. 7), it is estimated that 17,500 of them were under the age of 14 (which is to say, children).

But let’s get back to helicopters.

There were three helicopters in a convoy.

Only President Ebrahim Raisi’s helicopter crashed.

In 1981, the President of Iran Mohammad-Ali Rajai, was assassinated by a briefcase bomb.

Was Raisi the favorite to run Iran in the event of Ayatollah Khamenei’s death?

Remember, it was just five weeks ago that Iran launched the Operation True Promise missile attack on Israel.

[which was a response to the Israeli assassination (via six missiles from Israeli F-35 warplanes fired at the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria 12 days before that) of Iranian Brigadier Generals Mohammad Reza Zahedi and Mohammad Hadi Haji Rahimi]

Of course, Israel responded to Operation True Promise six days later with an attack on an air defense radar site near Isfahan.

But one must ask, “Was Raisi killed by Israel?”

Perhaps the April 19 Israeli attack on Iran was not seen as a strong enough measure in Israel.

So what happens now?

Israel, by the way, has slowed up the pace considerably of its genocide in Gaza.

Are they waiting for TikTok to go dark before pounding the shit outta Rafah?

TikTok’s owner, ByteDance, has stated recently that it would rather be shut down than sold to American interests.

Whether or not that theory is sound, about 800,000 people have evacuated Rafah in the past few weeks.

Which means, these Palestinians have gone north…back to central Gaza and and elsewhere within the Gaza Strip.

But the biggest nightmare on the horizon might be the U.S. military’s floating pier off the coast of Gaza.

Remember, the episode under consideration (Mogadishu in 1993) involved U.S. Marines who were in Somalia to try and prevent further GENOCIDE BY STARVATION (300,000 Somalis had died by the time the Marines went in).

[sound familiar?]

So WHAT IF the USA is drawn into the conflict in Gaza?

Whom would that help?

Whom would that hurt?

Obviously, China (the true owner of TikTok) doesn’t give a fuck about Palestinians.

The only thing China cares about is DIVIDING the USA by any means necessary.

[just look at the Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang (NW China)…still think China truly cares about the Muslims of Palestine???]

Don’t fire unless fired upon.

What are the rules of engagement for U.S. troops facilitating the offloading of humanitarian aid from the American dock floating off the coast of Gaza???

Where was Raisi coming from?

Azerbaijan.

What is the NATO Partnership for Peace (PfP) program?

Who has Azerbaijan been fighting recently?

Armenia.

But last month marked a step forward in the Armenia-Azerbaijan border crisis.

Azerbaijan is in the PfP program.

NATO Jr.

So is Armenia.

But, unlike Armenia, Azerbaijan is not in the Russia-centric CSTO (Russia’s post-communist answer to NATO).

Azerbaijan is in an even-lesser-known organization called GUAM.

The other members of GUAM?

Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova.

So one might guess that there is a big American presence (think “influence operations”) in Azerbaijan.

Raisi’s last official duty as President of Iran was his diplomatic trip to Azerbaijan.

How long was he there?

Where did he stay?

More importantly, where was his helicopter?

Were all three of the helicopters in the convoy the same?

Was the helicopter he rode home in chosen at random by the two Iranian colonels piloting it?

Probably not.

Did Raisi go all the way to Baku?

And if so, by helicopter?

Why not by plane?

https://www.tasnimnews.com/en/news/2024/05/18/3087662/iran-azerbaijan-to-inaugurate-border-dam

Or did he merely go to and from the Khoda Afarin Dam (on the Iran-Azerbaijan border)?

Is it plausible that Raisi’s helicopter was sabotaged?

Most certainly.

It might be important to note that the crash happened within the borders of Iran.

This is important.

It means Iran will have complete control of the crash site.

If there is evidence to be found of sabotage, Iran will be the ones to find it.

It is then up to them whether to publicize that information to the world AND whether to OVERTLY retaliate against whomever is thought to be the culprit.

Total control over the crash site also leaves Iran room to CLAIM sabotage (even if there was none).

Could claiming such be used to Iran’s advantage?

How specifically?

It remains to be seen.

What is the truth of the matter?

And what will the event trigger (irregardless of the truth)?

Twin Peaks “Double Play” [1991)

It was meant to be.

Written long ago.

Zugzwang.

Zwischenzug.

Philidor.

After the concert spirituel.

Staunton.

FMA.

Bobby Fischer.

Boris Spassky.

And Gary Kasparov.  From Baku.  Azerbaijan.

A very pithy story.

Scary Gacy crazy clown time.

Windom doesn’t seem to look the part.

In all, this is an excellent episode which resurrects the series.

Every day for three years.

The World is Not Enough [1999)

I was ready to proclaim this the fourth great Bond film…until Devil’s Breath.  Suddenly, the world turned on its head.  No, it wasn’t so much a clumsy bit of storytelling (though that would soon follow), but rather a defective disc.  Perhaps a defective computer.  Yes, my night turned into one big, giant, heaping ball (?) of excruciating film criticism.

Here’s what I found:  I am a sucker for a good story.  I must admit:  Michael Apted had me.  Guy’s got talent.  But the rigmarole entailed in finishing this viewing was epically taxing.

I downloaded at least five (5!) separate DVD player software packages.  I’m a cheapskate so, yes, they were all freebees.  I should start by saying that my go-to (Cyberlink PowerDVD) wouldn’t even read the disk.  That’s only about the third time such has ever happened, though one of the two others was recently.  Also, my Spotify account is on the fritz.

So I went through BS DVD Player (appropriately named), VLC Media Player (the best of the lot, but still…), Real Player (epically shite), GOM Media Player (complete waste), and UMPlayer.  This last one is worth noting because it was with this “tool” that I spent a good hour trying to get back to “Chapter” 14:  Devil’s Breath.  This particular player is so crap that I had to resort to watching the film at 32x normal speed.

It was during this chipmunk “exercise” that it finally hit me:  all James Bond films are the same.  [Yes, I am an idiot.]

And even though I knew Bond would get the girl (ok, maybe there’s the Lazenby exception), I was hooked like a fucking fish by Michael Apted.  In such a predicament, a further truth emerged:

this is the best propaganda money can buy.

So much noise about American Sniper…from people who have probably never seen Battleship Potemkin.  I’m sorry, dear critics, but you are disqualified.  I know it is snobbery, but you cannot judge a film’s place in history unless you have a more thorough grasp of the cinematic medium.  It’s not that hard.  Film is barely 100 years old.  If your frame of reference only stretches back 10 or 20 years, then I can hardly take you seriously.

And yet, I am the dupe.  I admit it.  I am just as susceptible to the grandeur of this propaganda as anyone.

Just what IS the message?

In most Bond films it is messy.  That’s what makes them watchable.  It is not a “hit-you-over-the-head” propaganda.  No.  It actually creeps up on you…like Fabian socialism.

Ah, now we are getting somewhere!

You see, every James Bond movie is a code.  I know that makes me sound like a Mel Gibson quack for saying so (and I am), but it’s true.  The World is Not Enough is no exception.

One thing is undeniable:  the premonitions of 9/11 are inescapable in this film.  But the critical question is:  where are these geopolitical signals coming from?

Azerbaijan.  Baku.  Caspian Sea.  A villain (Robert Carlyle) who’s the spitting image of Vladimir Putin.  Terrorism.  Post-Soviet states.  And to the film’s credit:  false flags.

Yes, Elektra blows up her own pipeline.  Remember The Pentagon!  A battle cry.  An employee emerges from the hole to the scent of cordite.  We know.  If you do not know, you should know:  battlefield damage assessment indicates missile.  One can feign innocence when one gratuitously attacks oneself.  No real damage.  Recently renovated.  Almost empty.  Cook the books.

Elektra even disfigures her own ear…to make it look like she was tortured.  I hear Richard Strauss.  Nazis.

But let us discuss why this is not a great film. It’s not Denise Richards’ fault that the dialogue sucks.  It’s not Pierce Brosnan.  He’s great!

No, things really start to go off-track when the film shifts to Kazakhstan.  Every cut, every edit, every segue is worse than the last.  The mise-en-scène becomes straight soap opera…and the dialog (whoa…the dialogue!).  There is a faux urban “hip” in the phraseology which speaks to just how dumb audiences had become by 1999 (or at least how dumb “Hollywood” presumed them to be).  It is both grating and ingratiating.

The beauty of early Bond films like Dr. No and From Russia With Love is that they are little more than B-movies.  There is as little pretense as there is budget. This was before the series had become completely hijacked as a vehicle for propaganda.  It’s just another case of Hollywood destroying what Hollywood subsumes.

From UA to MGM…more and more globalist…more and more “new world order.”  Yes, in case you were wondering:  that is in whose name the propaganda breathes…the devil’s breath.  This becomes a shabby mashup of Titanic and Leni Riefenstahl.
