Monitoring Biden and other Contemporary Events

So, if they did say it, that would mean that you're pretty sure of yourself when you shouldn't be.

I'll go fetch something to show you how pretty sure you shouldn't have been that tony "never did."

Yeah, ya might. But there is no hope of your experimental injection providing you with immunity. That's why they had to change the definition of "vaccine." They had to account for its failure to prevent infection or transmission. Is that how effective the flu vaccine is?

Also, that thread has been locked . .

Open letter to idiots and those enabling idiots.

Stop trashing this thread with irrelevant digressions.

Getting back on track:

Here’s what commander of the Kerem Shalom Battalion, who knows the area in detail, wrote…:

“Something here doesn’t add up to me!!! This is a mystery that I can’t find an answer to.

I happen to know how things work in Gaza and on the border. I was the commander of the Kerem Shalom sector (Rafih), I was in charge of the Kissuf sector, I know the perimeter fence very well, I know how the army works there. I was in the Shatti refugee camp in Gaza, I was in charge of the Jibaliya refugee camp, I would make ambushes on the fence and deep in the area. I met Gazans, ate and breathed Gaza.

Set alerts according to 3 levels of pressure. She must alert when she is cut. There are 24/7 forces that are responsible for arriving within a few minutes, if not seconds, to the point where there is an alert in the fence. Every day do at least one penetration practice. Each subdivision has a standby squad whose role is to increase the force in an emergency situation. Observations scattered along the border cover every inch of it. The female observers are champions in identification. They don’t miss. They detect movement even before it approaches the obstacle – day and night.

At problematic points (dead areas) they place a tank with observation and detection capabilities, and a terrifying firepower. In some cases snipers are deployed in the field.

Every day before dawn there is a “dawn alert” procedure. At this hour all the forces are awake (in this case also the hour when hundreds of terrorists entered Israel). The night shift alternates with the day shift. The commander of each force inspects the axis to make sure there were no infiltrations during the night. Trackers that move on the axis know how to recognize traces. They know who crossed the fence, how much and even when.

Each scenario has a clear procedure. For example, a procedure for infiltrating terrorists, a procedure for taking hostages. Everything is written in blood and has been proving itself for years.

There are several other layers of security that this is not the place to talk about. In short, we are talking about an obstacle that proves itself for years and years.

You rather simplified things here, didn't you?

So, Hamas took out all of the cameras and sensors along the barrier, disabled armed tanks, took out radar, and crashed through the barrier without the command center detecting any of it?

The Jerusalem Post (June 23, 2017) heralds the newly proposed 65 km Gaza Fence and underground wall as “the biggest and most complex engineering projects Israel has undertaken and is unique even on a global scale”:

This underground wall will be equipped with sensors produced by the Israeli defense manufacturer Elbit Systems …
Above ground, a six to eight meter integrated wire fence armed with sensors and cameras will be erected. Observation, control and command centers will be built along its length and the entire barrier, above and below ground, will be linked online to a command center located in a rear military base in the vicinity.
…

observation towers, control and command centers will be built along the length of the wall, above and below ground, linked to a command center situated in a nearby military base.

So how did Hamas defeat that barrier undetected?

And to keep that from happening to this one why don't you follow tsarstepan's suggestion and start your own glennn thread.

Good idea!

Once again, I'm utterly flabbergasted that these people are this deeply immersed in a complex of lunatic ideas. The chances of changing this guy's mind through reasoning and education seem pretty much nil.

Putin has said that even he was amazed by the lack of hard questions from lickspittle Carlson.

Yes. Those who laud both Carlson (He's a journalist!) and Putin (He's better than Biden!) will look for a pretzel-logic way out of this one. But it's not likely to gain much mention in rightwing media, unless Fox competitors like Newsmax use it in hopes of drawing viewers to them.

But what interests me here is Putin's strategy in saying it. First, it frames him as bigger, stronger, smarter and more to be feared than everybody else (which is what Trump also does all the time - it's the strategy of a bully). And it also is meant to suggest that - because Carlson is portrayed in Russian state media as a respected Western journalist - the West is weak-kneed, effeminate and no match for broad-shouldered Russia.

Edit: To put it another way... just as Trump does, Putin uses humiliation of others as a fundamental tool in his authoritarian style of leadership.

Why don't people just ignore ol' glennnnnn?

Carlson is pretty unknown outside of America.

Fox News lost its licence to broadcast a long time ago.

I only know about him because I'm a bit of a news junkie.

So, is the Georgia case going to be sidelined until next year because of misconduct by the prosecution? Considering the importance of this case, all the attention it was bound to attract, and the scrutiny of witnesses and the prosecution by Trump's lawyers, was Willis's conduct excusable or is it a major setback that could – and should – have been avoided?

News on the Stormy Daniels hush money case.

The UN, which has hardly been uncritical of Israel, does not dispute that the Hamas atrocities took place.

It was presented to look like Israel was unaware of Hamas' plans to attack.

Did the UN provide the evidence that convinced them that Hamas raped Israelis?

I don't accept hearsay.

Oh, a conspiracy...

Netanyahu has enough political enemies within his own government that it would be foolhardy of him to try to foist off something as truly horrifying as sacrificing innocent citizens – for what? Something requiring absolute secrecy in a coalition government that isn't much more than a nest of vipers – to what end? Were the success of the terrorist attack due to a chain of blunders, that would be embarrassing – but nowhere near as devastating if revealed. And, assuming it were a series of ****-ups – merely for the sake of argument –his brutal subjugation of the Gazans is a great screen to hide behind. World opinion condemns the IDF, he defends his brave forces and his country from global opprobrium – this is politically his best defense. As long as his soldiers are fighting and dying, he can avoid the brunt of domestic criticism.

(If you don't mind, several members have asked that this thread stick more to domestic politics in general and Biden in particular, so I suggest that you join the exciting discussion hosted by glennn if you need to pursue this topic.)

I mean, ffs, it's akin to the reasoning of the JTT's of the world, that Bush was behind 9/11 so he could justify invading the Middle East, or whatever it is that crowd thinks was the "real reason". Netanyahu could have achieved the same license to attack Hamas if he knew there was going to be an attack and successfully thwarted it. Similarly, in the 9/11 attacks, it was totally unnecessary to take out four iconic US sites. The conspirators could have simply detonated a fire bomb in the Capitol and the politicians could have used the revulsion to whip up the population and, assuming this was their goal, rationalize a new more muscular and imperial Mideast policy.

White House Clashed With Justice Dept. Over Special Counsel Report

Previously undisclosed letters show a testy exchange over whether the Justice Department violated its own guidelines in releasing a report with comments disparaging President Biden.

I'm sure Walter would say the same. I'm suggesting that Putin's targeted audience here isn't the West but rather Russians.
