Iran launches missiles at US military bases in Qatar and Iraq: LIVE UPDATES
I’m rapidly coming to the view that they are all in it together. By this I mean that what we are led to believe, be it the ZBBC, Presstv, CNN, Aljazeera, RT, or any of the talking heads regardless of their personal persuasion, is not the actual truth.
Take for a simple example, the US bombing of the three Iranian ‘nuclear’ sites. All theatre. No air defence whatever from the Iranians. No real damage to the Iran nuclear program. No satellite images of before and after (because there are probably hundreds available).
Then, the ‘response’, an attack on a US airbase in Quater. No deaths, no Quatari or US air defences activated, and again, no pictures (apart from the AI generated BS).
And suddenly a ceasefire. FFS when has there been a ceasefire which NATO (think of Ukraine and Minsk agreements), the US (think of Yemen, Iraq, Syria, and even Lebanon 2006), or Israehell (think of any Israehell and other Middle Eastern country) that has actually been a real ceasefire to enable negotiation?
Wherever I read recently that war is not only about business (great for the industrial military complex), but it’s also about keeping the population of the world down, it may have been spot on. Of course, wars also serve to strengthen the surveillance agenda and closing down of free speech.
I guess the purpose of this post @Rich , is to say thanks for the links, and even without looking at them, I am so jaundiced by world events, that I don’t believe they are anything but theatre. Theatre providing a good distraction from genocide in Gaza, billions wasted in support of Nazi’s in Ukraine, and all while big pharma knowingly murders and sterilises millions for profit.

@PatB I’m getting a strong whiff of kayfabe too.
But

There are before and after satellite pictures. I will dig and post. However, it is possible to fool satellites by using mounds of dirt, and it’s a trick that’s been used more than once.

They did interception. There is great footage of a clean interception and a LOT of money was thrown up on the air. It’s on video (for the love of dog please let us post video!)
The real loser in all of this is Bibi. I’m going to remain quiet on my suspicions for a few days, but his fate confirms everything.

Yes, it is all spectacle. I prefer that term to theatre only because of the Situationist aspect.
When Netanyahu is regime-changed, and even better carted off to jail, that will be Shadowplay too. There will be plenty more vile helminths (borrowing Medvedev’s nomenclature) clamouring to out-bastard him.
I remember being suspicious during Trump’s first term when the US fired a load of cruise missiles about ten years back at the Russian air force base in Latakia. IIRC no damage was done. We were told the Russians had shot down most of the missiles and all there was to show for the non-event were a few bits and pieces of metal laying about on the runway.
I’ve never been 100% comfortable with Putin’s sudden arrival on the world stage (where the hell did he come from?) and his almost instantaneous takeover of Russia from the US/Yeltsin cabal which was followed by his high speed transformation of the ruins of Russia into one of the most powerful countries on earth. The US had practically owned the place under Yeltsin and after spending ten years or more robbing Russia blind, suddenly - poof - they were gone.
IIRC when Israel tried to attack Iran earlier this year, their aircraft all turned around and went home with their bombs, just before reaching the Iranian border, because Iran’s (Russian made?) air defence radar had locked onto their planes. But this time there was no radar. Well why not?
This springs to mind yet again:
“The Kennedy assassination has demonstrated that most of the major events of world significance are masterfully planned and orchestrated by an elite coterie of enormously powerful people who are not of one nation, one ethnic grouping, or one overridingly important business group. They are a power unto themselves for whom those others work. Neither is this power elite of recent origin. Its roots go deep into the past.” Fletcher Prouty (1992)
It appears PCR is also becoming suspicious:

Patience is running out? Trump has spoken harshly, commenting on the violation of the ceasefire between Israel and Iran
"Iran and Israel have been fighting so long and so brutally that “they don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing,” “Do you understand that?” Trump to reporters (he doesn’t seem a happy man (LOL))
Trump is currently on the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
I think he (Donald) forgot The Apprentice was finished. Just tell him he is the weakest link. He’s fired.
What a complete and utter t*****
