So-called 'Mainstream outlets' have been water carriers for the Zionists spanning decades. This is certainly 'more of the same' in one sense, but given the Appallingly Open & Vile nature of the so-called 'Jewish State's' Crimes this time around, this will be the sort of Death Blow from which MSM (having what little minuscular credibility it had remaining) truly can never recover.
What makes it effective is these death blows have come in quick succession since 2020. From covid to Ukraine and now Gaza. The lies have unraveled like gift wrap on Christmas morning. As stated, the tide is turning one pair of eyes at a time and on good days, several. It still feels slow because children keep getting killed every day. But we must keen at it because the tipping point is fast approaching.
I remember many years ago it was UNHEARD of to even hint of criticizing Israel...we have come a long way even if it does not quite feel like it.. An antisemitism smear was like Kryptonite to most people then and now its water off a ducks back.. So its changing has been changing but the algorithms of google YouTube are tightening the censorship screws down harder too. Even Elon X is censoring still...
Government is frantically trying to cook up policy that does not appear as full out Fascism as it is to quell the growing awareness.. I noticed MSM media giants are doing a lot more local interest stories to stop them hemorrhaging watches and readers.. while alternatives media has a higher viewership even with massive amounts of suppression and active demonizing.. and then we have the grubby little Zionist hasbara trolls that come on here and try and poison the well
Yes, Dr.Who, it is a race between the world waking up BEFORE the US or Israel start to use nuclear warheads . Too late then.
I don't there's one chance of the world waking up in time, personally. The little Military puppets like Biden is so under the control of his Zionists public service and political class that they probably decide what he has for breakfast.
All very well to have an on-again-off-again organisation such as The Guardian to all of a sudden start to offer stories like today's effort, but their past record is not unblemished. Remember their treatment of Julian Assange? It is one reason why he is where he is today.
I certainly do.
Let's wait and see if this CNN disclosure is the trigger for any other truth telling publications in this now totally corrupted industry to finally wake to the damage they have caused.
But as I said, the boat may have sailed with Netanyahu as its Captain and Biden stoking the engine.
I don't know if you're from the US but our holy roller speaker of the house Mike Johnson, R-La., is putting legislation on the House floor next week to give Israel $17.6 billion in emergency funding. Like they really need it to kill those Palestinians. I really don't how people who proclaim to be so religious cannot see who the devil is here.
Yeah, a real Christian. I can just about hear Jesus calling down and whispering in his ear, go help Israel kill those people, since they are worthless, and don't count, never have, but the Jews are the chosen people. Drama aside I believe Israel is a very racist society, and always has been. Biden claims to embrace all people, no matter their race, sexual preferences, etc, etc, nonetheless he's providing the weapons to a country that is implementing a genocide on a people whom Israel has always perceived as animals, and the reason they've always been so easy to kill.
Chaz, a real question I've been pondering & wanting to ask for a long time: How is it that sometimes you seem quite erudite & can compose clear sentences that express real & interesting thoughts but can hardly manage to spell an English word?
This comment is a prime example. As you see, there are neither likes nor replies, bc blood liadle is incomprehensible. At least to me. Even though the other mistakes are comprehensible. Can you (or some other kind soul) please enlighten me?
Oh and just because there are no likes does not mean it's a testament to everyone being appaled there is a minor mistake...thats a statistical fallacy .
Plenty of my mangled pros get likes .. And if people get hung up on petty spelling and grammar mistakes to not only fail to comprehend but then not like a comment for it I dont want their likes or opinion...so it works out..
The other thing not understood about American education is it's nothing but obedience training ..memorize dates and times and worry about petty errors is a way to condition people to memorize and repeat and get used to not thinking for themselves. Hyperfocus on petty error and drawing between the lines and never deviate..
And that's why we have so many mindlessly compliant sheep as a public.
First off when I'm typing on a smartphone I have big wide FINGERS with blunt tips, that I often hit wrong keys but if I pause and fix every wrong letter I lose my train of thought.

With all eyes focused on Gaza the West Bank and the atrocities going on there are rather ignored which is understandable on some level. Israel is actually taking advantage of this and more killings, more destruction is going on there. How low will they go?
"Since then(Oct 7), the UN has verified the deaths of at least 300 Palestinians in the West Bank, including 79 children, the report said. Of these, 291 were killed by Israeli forces, eight by settlers and one was killed by either soldiers or settlers.
Nearly 4,800 Palestinians have been arrested since the war on Gaza began.
Since October 7, the UN has documented a “sharp rise in settler attacks”, including “shootings, burning of homes and vehicles, and uprooting of trees”.
Everything tells you Israel sees Palestinians as inferior, animals which one can wipe out with impunity and they have been saying that for more then 70 years.

Aka genocide of Palestinians in Gaza; the one in the West Bank to follow suit.
Most probably, all this is just a "little" propaganda film to show the globe's Goyim-pawns what kind of "treatment" is awaiting them in case of non-compliance to orders from the Chosen Ones ...🤔🤔
The same is true with the CBC in Canada. As our state owned broadcaster it was once a revered institution now completely gone to hell! Additionally our corporate MSM receives government subsidies so the conspiracy of silence is replete.
We are an unconscious civilization incapable of addressing the momentous issues that destroy us.
It is laughable to hear the charge of malpractice when it has been going on for decades .
""If once [the people] become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature, in spite of individual exceptions." -- Thomas Jefferson to Edward Carrington, 1787
I'm replying to Robert Billyard from Canada but my reply sadly could end up anywhere having no obvious connection to anything
Yes, in Australia, Robert, out national broadcaster,once a respected organisation has just appointed an ex Murdoch executive to run it. Already causing great concern.
All part of the Zionist influence down under as well.
Let me also add a comment from British Historian about The Guardian, during its disgusting treatment of Julian Assange after using all his material for years to bolster their readership.......
Mark Curtis, British historian (@markcurtis30)
Guardian is running a smear campaign against J.Assange, falsely linking him/Wikileaks to the Kremlin. . Don’t fall for it: Guardian is playing a particular role in service of the state. Guilty by innuendo: the Guardian campaign against Julian Assange that breaks all the rules.
That started a worldwide campaign of "Dump the Guardian" and so many people have done so.
So not only in Canada are the media owners exploiting the lies from the major "news" suppliers like Reuters and AAP but so are the once truthful journalists, independent or otherwise, now owned, lock, stock and barrel by their corrupt media owners.
Until we see a universal change in that climate, we will never see the changes needed for truth in reporting.
Russia was never our enemy..that lie is also part of the USrAel mind control fostered by Hollywood (CIA infiltrated ) none stop Russian xenophobic drama depictions.
The MSM is shot to hell and that is why I spent most of my time on the alternate/independent media. There are many excellent international sources and journalists we should be supporting. I have heard that cable tv is dropping in popularity television in general is bad for our mental health. I can remember when TV only broadcast a few hours a day and then became the monster it is today. We don't need TV just a good computer.
Most all the T.V. and Movie studios are financed by the Pentagon and other Governmental groups and their masters. For instance, critically listen and watch for the message and messages of those productions. Worship soldiers, worship war, black and brown people are mostly the 'bad guys., native American Indians are savage (grew up to that) with the only good one being a sidekick of the 'not so' Lone Ranger, South America, Central America people are all corrupt only the ones American soldiers help are worth a damn, Criminey I had no idea Africa was actually a beautiful place until the last few decades and that was only in brief glimpses. The irony is that the major reason those places and people were having evil paramilitaries was because the School of the Americas trained them for their own purposes and that is STILL being done.
Well you know there is so much more "entertainment" that comes from our government and it's partners. I once watched a beer commercial with the sound off, it was Half Time, and I was shocked by what I saw happening in the commercial. Sexual harassment and violence in a bar, so quick it was there and then not, I could hardly believe my eyes.
Sad to hear that CBC is (apparently) as bad as NPR and PBS in the U.S. They were once, to a degree at least, trustworthy in their reporting; or so I thought (naively?), perhaps some 20+ years ago. I thought US public media began to really get bad after Reagan & Co. went after public media, gutting financial support, and NPR & PBS decided to increase their take from corporate sources and other concentrated capital. However, with corporate control over government near complete, they would have gotten just as bad if not worse by now anyway. Today, the public media of the U.S., UK, and perhaps Canada function primarily as amplifiers for the voices inside their power establishments; 'manufacturing consent' (Chomsky, Bernays) for imperial plans and wars. Some friends/ acquaintances now refer to many of the liberals who've been led to believe that they're somehow getting objective reporting, as "NPR liberals".
That's the essence of the problem. Canadian media are really good at covering local issues because they are "safe" issues. If you want accurate international news and opinion you have to go outside our borders. The US has a strong alternative media willing to speak truth to power, not true in Canada where the honest brokers are few and far between.
Canada has become a parochial colonized country irrelevant to the world community. If you follow the media more closely you will see we don't even have a competent foreign policy.
Interesting. As Noam Chomsky pointed out to Andrew Marr, usually such heavy-handed measures are unnecessary. The stenographer in question doesn't need to be told what sort of propaganda will advance one's career at CNN.
The CNN staffers are liberals; otherwise they never would have been hired. They just can't handle a genocide. They accused the Chinese of genocide against the Uighurs with no evidence. They accused the Russians of genocide against the Ukrainians. Then the Israelis killed more Palestinian women and children in a month than the Russians did Ukrainians in two years.
Now they're being asked to say what they are seeing in Gaza is NOT a genocide, and the cognitive dissonance has broken their minds.
Hamas's Oct 7th plan, Izrael had it in their possession for a year.
---
"This item of intelligence reporting was disseminated to everybody. Nobody in the IDF or elsewhere, including the political policymakers, can claim that they were not familiar with it."
---
Memorize these five:
1) The full Izraeli leadership, military, intelligence and political, were given Hamas' Oct 7th jail break plan as much as a year in advance.
2) The decision up and down the military/intelligence chain of command was made to stop monitoring Hamas' tactical radio network months before Oct 7th.
3) The majority of IDF forces around the Gaza border were temporarily moved to the West Bank just prior to Oct 7th
4) Support troops did not arrive in force to repel Hamas for several hours.
5) The Hannibal Doctrine was implemented which accounted for many if not most of the casualties.
---
"In 2022, Israel received an absolute gem of an intelligence report, a document written by Hamas entitled 'The Plan for Defeating the IDF Gaza Division.'
This intelligence reporting, brought by Unit 8200, was a genuine gold mine, it contained everything: the IDF's deployment (with a chilling level of detail)
and the methods of contending with it, how to breach the border obstacle and to carry out the attack, as well as the targets and objectives during the attack and thereafter.
This item of intelligence reporting was disseminated to everybody. Nobody in the IDF or elsewhere, including the political policymakers, can claim that they were not familiar with it.
And if they were not aware of it, then that too bears witness to negligence, as this was no ordinary gem but a real game-changer, which should have led to one of the following two courses of action:
a profound change of thought to cancel the underlying approach that Hamas is deterred and seeks peace and quiet, or a series of steps to refute the golden item of intelligence reporting so that it
would be possible to continue to adhere to the existing conception.
"The responsibility of Unit 8200 does not end here. In the months leading up to the attack, real-time monitoring of the tactical communication of Hamas operatives on their radios was halted.
Had they been monitored, at the very least Israeli intelligence would have had time to deploy forces and mitigate the scale of the invasion."
The December 04 article (same author) repeats this with:
---
"and above all failed to restore a number of sub-units that had been closed down during his tenure. These are sections within 8200 that could have provided an important input in the effort to provide what the intelligence community refers to as I&W (indications and warnings), such as the tactical communications (hand-held radios) section and the open source intelligence (OSINT) section."
---
A foundation of Izrael's cover up is that they
are blaming Hamas for fooling them.
This cover up does not stand up to examination, which is key! Their cover up collapses.
---
JPost:
"They and five IDF chiefs-of-staff, several defense ministers and IDF Intelligence chiefs, four Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) directors and many others, all held the same mistaken concept that Hamas could be contained, deterred, and kept in check by a mix of economic incentives and occasional rounds of airstrikes."
---
But they knew differently, they had it spelled out in writing, it was a Hamas tactic to lull the Izraelis into complacency.
They knew. All of them. Up and down the political/military/intelligence chain of command they had the Hamas Oct 7th manual, their plan, for a year.
They knew.
JPost:
---
"The manual also described a strategy to lull Israel into complacency by holding negotiations for some form of long-term arrangement with Hamas, while at the same time staging frequent drills and carrying out small security incidents on the border on Saturdays and Jewish holidays to lull the IDF into a false sense of security when Hamas forces turned up en masse at the border fence."
---
So, to the five found at the top I would add a sixth to memorize.
1) The full Izraeli leadership, military, intelligence and political, were given Hamas' Oct 7th jail break plan as much as a year in advance.
2) They knew Hamas Oct 7th jail break plan included the strategy of lulling Izrael into a false sense of security. Izrael had Hamas' strategy in black and white a year ahead of time.
3) The decision up and down the military/intelligence chain of command was made to stop monitoring Hamas' tactical radio network months before Oct 7th.
4) The majority of IDF forces around the Gaza border were temporarily moved to the West Bank just prior to Oct 7th
5) Support troops did not arrive in force to repel Hamas for several hours.
6) The Hannibal Doctrine was implemented which accounted for many if not most of the casualties.
I had a job writing for a small newspaper many years ago. I was not allowed to write about the oppression of women that was happening there because the advertisers would not like it. That attitude only seems to have gotten worse and now covers more topics that are not acceptable. We have been manipulated by this kind of writing for a long long time.
Sometime in the 1996 timeframe, I was teaching a class in Aarhus and went to Copenhagen for the weekend. After dinner, walking back to the hotel, passed a very small - maybe eight? - people group protesting what I think was an EU membership-related vote. They were surrounded by at least twice as many CNN folks, jostling them, right in their faces, vans with dishes standing by. Back in the room, turned on CNN International and saw a clip of what I just passed by, cut so as to look like a very large crowd. "Huge demonstration". BS. Never believed a word from CNN again.
I saw this at occupy..how she lied about what was happening right in front of me .
When i confronted her on it she and her crew scurried off to try it someplace else..
They are all liars ,,they have only one vested interest and that is lying for the status quo to keep the public malleable to manipulate them and extort them as a resource... bottom line ...
Glenn Greenwald had a recent podcast about how muddy stream media are laying off staff and generally going down the crapper. It was such a joy to read. Just maybe the western Pravda is on its last legs.
Nice article. While it is nice to see someone in mainstream calling this out, coming from the Guardian this is clearly a limited hangout tactic, merely managing the dissent and fostering the illusion that *some* of the mainstream media seeks to check itself. It is all lies designed to taste good going down.
Let’s tell it like it is—CNN is owned by Warner and the President of Warner Bros is David Zaslov. He’s Jewish. So is the pres of the NYT. A Lithuanian Jew. Calling these characters “plutocrats” is so tepid it borders on malpractice. They are much more likely Zionists and need to be so named.
I had a similar thought when reading this. If the more-principled journalists get too uppity at their MSM outlets, the corporations will simply replace them with AI bots programmed even more tightly than the journalists have been. Some of the displaced might find writing work outside the mainstream, but economic survival will remain for them a challenge overall. So the problem remains: how to break the somnambulant, pacified public out of their spells?
I think part of the answer lies in venue's such as Caitlin's Newsletter, Council Estate, Jacobin, The Breach, etc. However, since the internet is so closely controlled by a few oligarchs I'm not sure how long that will continue. Maybe we'll have to go back to secretively distributing paper leaflets or setting up pirate radio stations!
I'll have to look into "Council Estate and "The Breach". As to Jacobin- I've found them maddeningly inconsistent; sometimes very progressive and anti-imperialist but at other times echoing the narratives of the Washington / NATO neocons. Similarly, The Intercept (which I once adored when Glenn Greenwald wrote for it), and even CounterPunch; which hosts at least a couple of writers who're also at times appear to be informed primarily by imperial narratives about Russia, for example.
I acknowledge that a) no single person or outlet has a lock on the truth (including me, of course!, though I try to speak only after deep study & logical analysis); and b) institutions are both subject to change and therefore to inconsistencies. Once-reliable publications get bought out or otherwise brought to heel such as to become 'controlled opposition'... there's a long list of such.
On the other hand, I've found consistency in a few outlets (e.g. Consortium News, The Grayzone, Scheerpost, and to a lesser extent, Common Dreams) and a number of independent writers (Caitlin, Norman Finkelstein, Greenwald, Victor Grossman (writing from Berlin), Hedges, Seymour Hersh, Diana Johnstone, Patrick Lawrence, Abby Martin, Aaron Mate’, Matt Taibbi , for example). I personally subscribe and donate to probably a dozen or more different writers and outlets. However, realizing how i must divide my contributions and that likely others like me are in the same boat, I wonder at how much the aggregate of honest / principled journalists can expand while still making an adequate living, realizing that the system will also increase its efforts to de-monetize and otherwise limit their reach.
Jacob are DNC subscribers and often zionists too, just making some silly noise and occasionally deviating from the party line. Not actual progressives.
I told you all that a LONG time ago. Charlatan. Sheep dog. Could see that one a mile away from the beginning.
They have A LOT of these diversions and traps to stop dissent from gaining momentum. It’s not just one of these that they hang out there. And they do it from all angles, left and right too.
So-called 'Mainstream outlets' have been water carriers for the Zionists spanning decades. This is certainly 'more of the same' in one sense, but given the Appallingly Open & Vile nature of the so-called 'Jewish State's' Crimes this time around, this will be the sort of Death Blow from which MSM (having what little minuscular credibility it had remaining) truly can never recover.

They’re members of the Synagogue of Satan, perhaps unbeknownst to them.
Israel doesn’t need the money!!
They’re at the top of foreign reserves - by country for gold cash and credit. See link above and my comments. It’s an unbelievable scam.
Thanks.
They have been stealing from every single USA (infiltrated) allies sins 1948
They aren't religious. They just pretend to be.
Yeah, a real Christian. I can just about hear Jesus calling down and whispering in his ear, go help Israel kill those people, since they are worthless, and don't count, never have, but the Jews are the chosen people. Drama aside I believe Israel is a very racist society, and always has been. Biden claims to embrace all people, no matter their race, sexual preferences, etc, etc, nonetheless he's providing the weapons to a country that is implementing a genocide on a people whom Israel has always perceived as animals, and the reason they've always been so easy to kill.
There economy is crashing so they need to leach more money and weapons off the UIS of useful idiots
I think I’d restrict that to some Israelis but then it seems to be true.

It is laughable to hear the charge of malpractice when it has been going on for decades .
""If once [the people] become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, Judges and Governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature, in spite of individual exceptions." -- Thomas Jefferson to Edward Carrington, 1787
I'm replying to Robert Billyard from Canada but my reply sadly could end up anywhere having no obvious connection to anything
Yes, in Australia, Robert, out national broadcaster,once a respected organisation has just appointed an ex Murdoch executive to run it. Already causing great concern.
All part of the Zionist influence down under as well.
Let me also add a comment from British Historian about The Guardian, during its disgusting treatment of Julian Assange after using all his material for years to bolster their readership.......
Mark Curtis, British historian (@markcurtis30)
Guardian is running a smear campaign against J.Assange, falsely linking him/Wikileaks to the Kremlin. . Don’t fall for it: Guardian is playing a particular role in service of the state. Guilty by innuendo: the Guardian campaign against Julian Assange that breaks all the rules.
That started a worldwide campaign of "Dump the Guardian" and so many people have done so.
So not only in Canada are the media owners exploiting the lies from the major "news" suppliers like Reuters and AAP but so are the once truthful journalists, independent or otherwise, now owned, lock, stock and barrel by their corrupt media owners.
Until we see a universal change in that climate, we will never see the changes needed for truth in reporting.
Russia was never our enemy..that lie is also part of the USrAel mind control fostered by Hollywood (CIA infiltrated ) none stop Russian xenophobic drama depictions.
The MSM is shot to hell and that is why I spent most of my time on the alternate/independent media. There are many excellent international sources and journalists we should be supporting. I have heard that cable tv is dropping in popularity television in general is bad for our mental health. I can remember when TV only broadcast a few hours a day and then became the monster it is today. We don't need TV just a good computer.
Most all the T.V. and Movie studios are financed by the Pentagon and other Governmental groups and their masters. For instance, critically listen and watch for the message and messages of those productions. Worship soldiers, worship war, black and brown people are mostly the 'bad guys., native American Indians are savage (grew up to that) with the only good one being a sidekick of the 'not so' Lone Ranger, South America, Central America people are all corrupt only the ones American soldiers help are worth a damn, Criminey I had no idea Africa was actually a beautiful place until the last few decades and that was only in brief glimpses. The irony is that the major reason those places and people were having evil paramilitaries was because the School of the Americas trained them for their own purposes and that is STILL being done.
Well you know there is so much more "entertainment" that comes from our government and it's partners. I once watched a beer commercial with the sound off, it was Half Time, and I was shocked by what I saw happening in the commercial. Sexual harassment and violence in a bar, so quick it was there and then not, I could hardly believe my eyes.
Sad to hear that CBC is (apparently) as bad as NPR and PBS in the U.S. They were once, to a degree at least, trustworthy in their reporting; or so I thought (naively?), perhaps some 20+ years ago. I thought US public media began to really get bad after Reagan & Co. went after public media, gutting financial support, and NPR & PBS decided to increase their take from corporate sources and other concentrated capital. However, with corporate control over government near complete, they would have gotten just as bad if not worse by now anyway. Today, the public media of the U.S., UK, and perhaps Canada function primarily as amplifiers for the voices inside their power establishments; 'manufacturing consent' (Chomsky, Bernays) for imperial plans and wars. Some friends/ acquaintances now refer to many of the liberals who've been led to believe that they're somehow getting objective reporting, as "NPR liberals".
The big newspapers had also been propaganda for the generations before TV...the money class has always used it... i bet the midevil courts did too
Yes. Yellow journalism? Hearst pushed the Spanish American war. They beat those drums like mad.
I worry about this. I am strongly thinking of disassociating. I cannot change corruption. But..i worry about worse if we all stop paying attention.
In both Canada and the USA we have to take back our countries being destroyed by the warlords and their political apprentices.
Be careful! The CBC in Ottawa has done some remarkably good reporting on local issues, where developers have too much influence on other media.
That's the essence of the problem. Canadian media are really good at covering local issues because they are "safe" issues. If you want accurate international news and opinion you have to go outside our borders. The US has a strong alternative media willing to speak truth to power, not true in Canada where the honest brokers are few and far between.
Canada has become a parochial colonized country irrelevant to the world community. If you follow the media more closely you will see we don't even have a competent foreign policy.
Reporting correctly on local issues is not just because of "safety" but because lying on them is much more easily discoverable, both because:
- issues are local literally, geographically
- more people are reading them as opposed to national, let alone international
Interesting. As Noam Chomsky pointed out to Andrew Marr, usually such heavy-handed measures are unnecessary. The stenographer in question doesn't need to be told what sort of propaganda will advance one's career at CNN.
The CNN staffers are liberals; otherwise they never would have been hired. They just can't handle a genocide. They accused the Chinese of genocide against the Uighurs with no evidence. They accused the Russians of genocide against the Ukrainians. Then the Israelis killed more Palestinian women and children in a month than the Russians did Ukrainians in two years.
Now they're being asked to say what they are seeing in Gaza is NOT a genocide, and the cognitive dissonance has broken their minds.
You’re aware the Uighurs were long exempted from the one-child policy and that their growth rate in Xingjiang is and has been 3x that of the Han?
Most of the libel comes from CIA-funded Uighur expats.
Hamas's Oct 7th plan, Izrael had it in their possession for a year.
---
"This item of intelligence reporting was disseminated to everybody. Nobody in the IDF or elsewhere, including the political policymakers, can claim that they were not familiar with it."
---
Memorize these five:
1) The full Izraeli leadership, military, intelligence and political, were given Hamas' Oct 7th jail break plan as much as a year in advance.
2) The decision up and down the military/intelligence chain of command was made to stop monitoring Hamas' tactical radio network months before Oct 7th.
3) The majority of IDF forces around the Gaza border were temporarily moved to the West Bank just prior to Oct 7th
4) Support troops did not arrive in force to repel Hamas for several hours.
5) The Hannibal Doctrine was implemented which accounted for many if not most of the casualties.

"In 2022, Israel received an absolute gem of an intelligence report, a document written by Hamas entitled 'The Plan for Defeating the IDF Gaza Division.'
This intelligence reporting, brought by Unit 8200, was a genuine gold mine, it contained everything: the IDF's deployment (with a chilling level of detail)
and the methods of contending with it, how to breach the border obstacle and to carry out the attack, as well as the targets and objectives during the attack and thereafter.
This item of intelligence reporting was disseminated to everybody. Nobody in the IDF or elsewhere, including the political policymakers, can claim that they were not familiar with it.
And if they were not aware of it, then that too bears witness to negligence, as this was no ordinary gem but a real game-changer, which should have led to one of the following two courses of action:
a profound change of thought to cancel the underlying approach that Hamas is deterred and seeks peace and quiet, or a series of steps to refute the golden item of intelligence reporting so that it
would be possible to continue to adhere to the existing conception.
Of course, none of these options materialized."

https://www.israelhayom.com/2023/12/04/israel-had-a-slum-dunk-intelligence-on-the-oct-7-attack-what-went-wrong/
---
"The responsibility of Unit 8200 does not end here. In the months leading up to the attack, real-time monitoring of the tactical communication of Hamas operatives on their radios was halted.
Had they been monitored, at the very least Israeli intelligence would have had time to deploy forces and mitigate the scale of the invasion."
---
https://www.israelhayom.com/2023/11/23/unit-8200-could-have-save-israel-from-oct-7-why-hasnt-it-owned-up-to-its-failure/
The December 04 article (same author) repeats this with:
---
"and above all failed to restore a number of sub-units that had been closed down during his tenure. These are sections within 8200 that could have provided an important input in the effort to provide what the intelligence community refers to as I&W (indications and warnings), such as the tactical communications (hand-held radios) section and the open source intelligence (OSINT) section."
---
A foundation of Izrael's cover up is that they
are blaming Hamas for fooling them.
This cover up does not stand up to examination, which is key! Their cover up collapses.
---
JPost:
"They and five IDF chiefs-of-staff, several defense ministers and IDF Intelligence chiefs, four Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) directors and many others, all held the same mistaken concept that Hamas could be contained, deterred, and kept in check by a mix of economic incentives and occasional rounds of airstrikes."
---
But they knew differently, they had it spelled out in writing, it was a Hamas tactic to lull the Izraelis into complacency.
They knew. All of them. Up and down the political/military/intelligence chain of command they had the Hamas Oct 7th manual, their plan, for a year.
They knew.
JPost:
---
"The manual also described a strategy to lull Israel into complacency by holding negotiations for some form of long-term arrangement with Hamas, while at the same time staging frequent drills and carrying out small security incidents on the border on Saturdays and Jewish holidays to lull the IDF into a false sense of security when Hamas forces turned up en masse at the border fence."
---
So, to the five found at the top I would add a sixth to memorize.
1) The full Izraeli leadership, military, intelligence and political, were given Hamas' Oct 7th jail break plan as much as a year in advance.
2) They knew Hamas Oct 7th jail break plan included the strategy of lulling Izrael into a false sense of security. Izrael had Hamas' strategy in black and white a year ahead of time.
3) The decision up and down the military/intelligence chain of command was made to stop monitoring Hamas' tactical radio network months before Oct 7th.
4) The majority of IDF forces around the Gaza border were temporarily moved to the West Bank just prior to Oct 7th
5) Support troops did not arrive in force to repel Hamas for several hours.
6) The Hannibal Doctrine was implemented which accounted for many if not most of the casualties.

One must conclude that Izael LIHOP.
Is this where zionist go for breakfast? The LIEHOP
I had a job writing for a small newspaper many years ago. I was not allowed to write about the oppression of women that was happening there because the advertisers would not like it. That attitude only seems to have gotten worse and now covers more topics that are not acceptable. We have been manipulated by this kind of writing for a long long time.
wonderful that some journalists are fighting the corporate forces arrayed against journalism!
Sometime in the 1996 timeframe, I was teaching a class in Aarhus and went to Copenhagen for the weekend. After dinner, walking back to the hotel, passed a very small - maybe eight? - people group protesting what I think was an EU membership-related vote. They were surrounded by at least twice as many CNN folks, jostling them, right in their faces, vans with dishes standing by. Back in the room, turned on CNN International and saw a clip of what I just passed by, cut so as to look like a very large crowd. "Huge demonstration". BS. Never believed a word from CNN again.
They’re fraudsters to the core.
I saw this at occupy..how she lied about what was happening right in front of me .
When i confronted her on it she and her crew scurried off to try it someplace else..
They are all liars ,,they have only one vested interest and that is lying for the status quo to keep the public malleable to manipulate them and extort them as a resource... bottom line ...
Hats off to Chris McGreal and CNN staff who are revolting against the biased reportage they're being requested to do by their CEO Mark Thompson.
Glenn Greenwald had a recent podcast about how muddy stream media are laying off staff and generally going down the crapper. It was such a joy to read. Just maybe the western Pravda is on its last legs.
Nice article. While it is nice to see someone in mainstream calling this out, coming from the Guardian this is clearly a limited hangout tactic, merely managing the dissent and fostering the illusion that *some* of the mainstream media seeks to check itself. It is all lies designed to taste good going down.
Yes I agree. Used to be a good newspaper now I hardly bother looking.
Let’s tell it like it is—CNN is owned by Warner and the President of Warner Bros is David Zaslov. He’s Jewish. So is the pres of the NYT. A Lithuanian Jew. Calling these characters “plutocrats” is so tepid it borders on malpractice. They are much more likely Zionists and need to be so named.
A civilization that runs on propaganda is a dead civilization
"A civilization that runs on propaganda is a dead civilization"
I tend to agree, but that would include pretty much all civilizations.
From your plethora of goofy comments a couple of hours ago, I suggest you seek help.
They’ve been churning out Israel propaganda for as long as I can remember.
AI will solve the problem for the propagandists in the MSM. At least, that's their hope.
I had a similar thought when reading this. If the more-principled journalists get too uppity at their MSM outlets, the corporations will simply replace them with AI bots programmed even more tightly than the journalists have been. Some of the displaced might find writing work outside the mainstream, but economic survival will remain for them a challenge overall. So the problem remains: how to break the somnambulant, pacified public out of their spells?
I think part of the answer lies in venue's such as Caitlin's Newsletter, Council Estate, Jacobin, The Breach, etc. However, since the internet is so closely controlled by a few oligarchs I'm not sure how long that will continue. Maybe we'll have to go back to secretively distributing paper leaflets or setting up pirate radio stations!
I'll have to look into "Council Estate and "The Breach". As to Jacobin- I've found them maddeningly inconsistent; sometimes very progressive and anti-imperialist but at other times echoing the narratives of the Washington / NATO neocons. Similarly, The Intercept (which I once adored when Glenn Greenwald wrote for it), and even CounterPunch; which hosts at least a couple of writers who're also at times appear to be informed primarily by imperial narratives about Russia, for example.
I acknowledge that a) no single person or outlet has a lock on the truth (including me, of course!, though I try to speak only after deep study & logical analysis); and b) institutions are both subject to change and therefore to inconsistencies. Once-reliable publications get bought out or otherwise brought to heel such as to become 'controlled opposition'... there's a long list of such.
On the other hand, I've found consistency in a few outlets (e.g. Consortium News, The Grayzone, Scheerpost, and to a lesser extent, Common Dreams) and a number of independent writers (Caitlin, Norman Finkelstein, Greenwald, Victor Grossman (writing from Berlin), Hedges, Seymour Hersh, Diana Johnstone, Patrick Lawrence, Abby Martin, Aaron Mate’, Matt Taibbi , for example). I personally subscribe and donate to probably a dozen or more different writers and outlets. However, realizing how i must divide my contributions and that likely others like me are in the same boat, I wonder at how much the aggregate of honest / principled journalists can expand while still making an adequate living, realizing that the system will also increase its efforts to de-monetize and otherwise limit their reach.
Jacob are DNC subscribers and often zionists too, just making some silly noise and occasionally deviating from the party line. Not actual progressives.
Glad to know my perceptions are shared.
Hallucination Free AI is not guaranteed, only warrantied Dose their cooling water? Internalized MKUltra will wreak havoc on their best laid plans.
I have said this before. The reason for me to stay on WAPO is mainly to direct others to alternative news. If others do the same it will help.
Me too. Glad I’m not alone. It’s interesting to see what sets the vermin a-squirming.
Yes. Some of my posts have been taken down but I keep trying.
Someone said even in the 50's. American press; typographist for the CIA
For sure.
RFK,Jr got rid of Dennis Kucinich as his campaign manager, in favor of an American journalist.
Before she was a journalist she worked for the CIA.
Her training and experience is in turning people into assets for the CIA.
Is that enough to tell you that RFK, Jr is a Manchurian Candidate?
Proceed with caution for sure before supporting RFK,Jr.
And don't forget that RFK,Jr rode on Jefferey Epstein's Lolletta Express.
Jefferey Epstein, Mossad or CIA? Or both?
RFK...............blah. Loves Israel.
I told you all that a LONG time ago. Charlatan. Sheep dog. Could see that one a mile away from the beginning.
They have A LOT of these diversions and traps to stop dissent from gaining momentum. It’s not just one of these that they hang out there. And they do it from all angles, left and right too.
