SOTT Focus: Revealed: The Israeli Spies Writing America's News

One year after Oct. 7 attacks, Netanyahu is on a winning streak." So reads the title of a recent Axios article describing the Israeli prime minister riding on an unbeatable wave of triumphs. These stunning military "successes," its author Barak Ravid notes, include the bombing of Yemen, the assassinations of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and the pager attack against Lebanon.

The same author recently went viral for an article that claimed that Israeli attacks against Hezbollah are "not intended to lead to war but are an attempt to reach 'de-escalation through escalation.'" Users on social media mocked Ravid for this bizarre, Orwellian reasoning. But what almost everybody missed is that Barak Ravid is an Israeli spy - or at least he was until recently. Ravid is a former analyst with Israeli spying agency Unit 8200, and as recently as last year, was still a reservist with the Israeli Defense Forces group.

Unit 8200 is Israel's largest and perhaps most controversial spying organization. It has been responsible for many high-profile espionage and terror operations, including the recent pager attack that injured thousands of Lebanese civilians. As this investigation will reveal, Ravid is far from the only Israeli ex-spook working at top U.S. media outlets, working hard to manufacture Western support for his country's actions.

SOTT Focus: THIRD Trump Assassination Attempt Foiled, According to Local Sheriff, This Time at Rally in Coachella, California

A man has been arrested with fake press passes and loaded weapons outside a rally being held by the former president in California

A third attempt on the life of Donald Trump was prevented on Saturday when law enforcement officers arrested an armed man with fake press passes outside the former US president's rally in Coachella, California, a local sheriff has said.

Vem Miller, a 49-year-old Las Vegas resident, was arrested at a checkpoint outside the rally venue on Saturday with an illegally owned shotgun, a loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine, the Riverside County Sheriff's Office said in a statement on Sunday.

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco told local media that Miller had presented fake VIP and press passes at the checkpoint.

"They were different enough to cause the deputies alarm," Bianco told the Press-Enterprise. "We probably stopped another assassination attempt."


Comment: Three weeks to go, will Trump make it to November alive?!

More details on this arrest from local CA media:
Deputies became suspicious of Miller due to the interior of his vehicle being in "disarray" and having fake license plates consistent of groups claiming to be "sovereign citizens," Bianco said Sunday. Miller claimed to be a journalist, and had multiple fake passports with different names inside, Bianco said.

The vehicle was unregistered, Bianco said.
Interestingly, between the Saturday and Sunday, someone 'got to' the Sheriff and told him to say this:
At the news conference on Sunday, Bianco spoke in less clear terms about what he believed Miller's intent to be. He told reporters that he "didn't remember" calling the incident a possible assassination attempt to the SCNG, but admitted that it was something that he "would say."

"No matter what, it's all going to be speculation about what his intentions were getting there," Bianco said. "If you're asking me right now, I probably did have deputies that prevented the third assassination attempt."
The would-be assassin's handlers are trying to cover their tracks.

This Vem Miller, by the way, according to people who know him, is an avid Trump SUPPORTER, and worked with independent journalist Mindy Robinson on documentaries exposing deep state cover-ups in the 2014 Bundy Ranch stand-off and the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting.

He's generally been very 'involved' - at least in terms of demonstrating his support - with the Trump campaign in recent months:

SOTT Focus: NewsReal: Israel's Final Solution in Gaza (and Lebanon?)

Israel has launched what looks like its 'final solution' in Gaza, massacring Palestinian refugees in the north of the Strip and cutting off food, water and aid supplies. Meanwhile Israel is threatening to bomb the US peacekeeping forces in Southern Lebanon as it continues 'softening up' that country with terror-bombing, likely ahead of full ground-war intervention.

Everything appears to be going Israel's way, but there's just one problem: global public opinion of Israel is now so bad, mainstream politicians and media personalities are beginning to sound like far-left anti-empire activists, demanding that Israel be sanctioned into peace and shunned internationally.

This week on NewsReal, Joe & Niall bring you another sit-rep of the hell that is the Levant, their prognostications for a full-on Mid-East war, describe why they alone predicted Hurricane Milton would be a nothing-burger, and wonder why US presidential election 'fever' has gone relatively quiet now, with just 3 weeks to go...

SOTT Focus: SOTT Earth Changes Summary - September 2024: Extreme Weather, Planetary Upheaval, Meteor Fireballs

ecs0924
This hurricane season is shaping up to be one of the most intense of recent years with many powerful storms that displayed rapid formation, fast intensification, and incredible amounts of damage due to heavy rain and floods. Here's a summary of the most significant storms in September:

Hurricane Francine rapidly intensified into a Category 2 hurricane with sustained winds of 100 mph (155 km/h), making landfall in southern Louisiana, bringing torrential rains and severe flooding, causing widespread damage, submerging homes and infrastructure, and resulting in $1.5 billion in damages. Fortunately, there were no fatalities.

Storm Boris reached wind speeds of 75 mph (120 km/h) and rainfall of up to 14 inches (360 mm) in some areas of Central and Eastern Europe, causing the Elbe and Danube rivers to overflow, submerging entire communities, collapsing bridges, damaging homes, and sweeping away cars. The floods caused at least 19 deaths and significant economic losses, making it one of the worst flooding events in the region in decades.

Putin

SOTT Focus: How Vladimir Putin Made Russia Great Again

The propaganda spread by the US always wanted to dismantle Russia piece by piece. But Putin knew it all along and disrupted their plans, restoring Russia's superiority. In his column, ageopolitical analyst S L Kanthan delves in deeper into the origin of Putin's heroic act.

The US has been consumed by virulent Russophobia for a decade, and the entire US establishment demonizes President Vladimir Putin in unison. There is no free speech for American and European presstitutes when it comes to Russia - every journalist, TV anchor, academic and think tank must hate Putin and portray Russia as a threat to the collective West.

Thus, the truth has been buried under sixty feet of propaganda and censorship. The fact is that after the fall of the Soviet Union, globalists fantasized about breaking up Russia further and erasing it from history. That's when Putin came, disrupted the American plan, saved Russia, and began the task of restoring the civilizational state to its greatness.

Let us look at what has been hidden from much of the public. There are also valuable lessons for India and other countries of the Global South.

The real US-Russia conflict is about geopolitical power struggle for world domination, which involves hundreds of trillions of dollars, massive egos of Machiavellian globalists, and nations driven by memory of the past and visions of the future.

Comment: Today is Vladimir Vladimirovich's 72nd birthday. Ave, Caesar of our time!

Israel scored another major 'PR victory' with many Westerners when it blew off the hands of thousands of Lebanese people last week.

But the Levantine enclave also has a problem. And it's not the normal kind of problem. This week on NewsReal, Joe & Niall examine what could lead a country's government to spend decades plotting to remote-detonate thousands of technological devices in a neighboring country... for no apparent gain. What IS Israel's 'grand plan'? Can it even work?

Also, hardcore Democratic Party supporter Ryan Routh was 'rumbled' at Trump International Golf Course in Florida this week, hiding out in the bushes in the hope of 'taking a shot at' the US presidential candidate. Was he acting alone?

The name of the Budapest-based firm 'BAC Consulting' first cropped up in a statement by a Taiwanese manufacturer, Gold Apollo, whose label appeared on the pagers that exploded across Lebanon and beyond yesterday. Gold Apollo said it did not manufacture the devices and that they were made by its Hungarian partner, BAC Consulting.

"The product was not ours. It was only that it had our brand on it," Gold Apollo founder and president Hsu Ching-kuang told reporters at the company's offices in the northern Taiwanese city of New Taipei on Wednesday.

"We may not be a large company, but we are a responsible one," he said. "This is very embarrassing."

SOTT Focus: Trump 'Safe And Well' After ANOTHER Assassination Attempt, Man With 'AK' Rifle Arrested - Caught Targeting President as he Played Golf

Mr Trump's motorcade heading to Mar-a-Lago after the incident
Former President Trump narrowly survived yet another assassination attempt after a sniper with a scoped AK-47 rifle got within a few hundred yards of him as he played golf at his West Palm Beach, Florida club on Friday.

It is the second time a madman armed with an assault rifle has tried to kill the 45th president in two months.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said the suspect had taken cover near a chain-link fence between 300-500 yards away from Trump, but conceded, "with a rifle and scope like that is not a long distance."

Law enforcement sources told The Post that the suspect is 58-year-old Ryan Routh of Hawaii.

Comment: More on the alleged shooter, Routh, whose politics appear to be largely pro-Western establishment narratives - pro-war against Russia - and which are, notably, also similar to those of the would-be-assassin of Slovakia's PM Fico.

In fact, he was so pro-Ukraine War, he was a leading recruiter of mercenaries for the Ukraine War in the US and possibly in Afghanistan.

Furthermore, if the data below is accurate, then one would imagine he was already known, in some way, by the security services.
Ryan Wesley Routh, the Suspect identified in today's Assassination Attempt on Former U.S. President Donald J. Trump in West Palm Beach, is said to have been heavily Involved with the Ukrainian International Legion; which he had previously assisted in the Recruitment for in 2022, when he was Interviewed by Newsweek in Romania.

The Newsweek interview (10 minutes in length):


He clearly came well-prepared not only to assassinate Trump, but to record his 'heroic deed':


People are finding evidence that he was a Democrat Party donor, though elsewhere he says on his social media that he identifies as politically 'independent':



Routh's social media is being pulled down but as you can see the man had so much of a social media footprint, folks have been able to glean a lot:


His alleged X account shows that he was "willing to fly to Ukraine and fight!"


And apparently to Taiwan:


Routh's alleged criminal record:


He was allegedly very active in trying to recruit fighters for Ukraine - the NYT article is from 2023 and is titled: 'Stolen Valour: The U.S. Volunteers in Ukraine who lie, waste and bicker'


Max Blumenthal has found that Routh published a 291-page book, "Unwinnable War," about his time in Ukraine's International Legion:
Routh says he'd like to see Putin assassinated, seems to hope for Trump's assassination as well, and calls for the US to "instigate" a nuclear war with Russia Stating he's neither a Democrat or Republican, Routh's clearly articulated mindset toward Russia mirrors that of Beltway hardliners. He offers gushing admiration for Juan Guaido, the Free Syrian Army, Myanmar rebels, and other CIA backed forces, while hinting at a friendship with MSNBC natsec hack and fellow International Brigade member Malcolm Nance.
routh book trump assassin
Referring to specific passages from Routh's book, Blumenthal shows that:
Ryan Routh calls for the assassination of Putin and Lukashenko of Belarus, arguing that their killing would bring on the demise of the Russian's state's viability as an independent power, as no one can succeed Putin.
And:
Routh urges the West to "instigate" a nuclear conflict with Russia and "strike first." He wants a "quick and decisive and powerful blow to end it once and for all," as the US did at the end of WWII.
And:
Routh declares himself a political independent, neither Republican or Democrat, but clearly loathes Trump.
And:
In a rambling passage, Routh appears to fantasize about the assassination of Trump as punishment his unraveling of the Iran deal.
And:
Routh spills lots of ink complaining about the Ukrainian state's waste and corruption. Here, he says it hampered the PR efforts of his International Legion comrade in arms in Kiev, "Malcolm," who appears to be MSNBC natsec hack and wannabe freedom fighter Malcolm Nance.
Update: It's been discovered that Routh, like Crooks, was ALSO in a Blackrock commercial:

SOTT Focus: NewsReal: Nuclear War Remains Unlikely, But NATO-Russia Network War Escalates

© Sott.net
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer took his entire cabinet to Washington last week for a pow-wow with their American war allies to plead his case for allowing Ukraine to use long-range precision weapons to target Russian military bases and missile launch sites deep within Russia. Putin said Russia will 'respond in kind' and, although no one knows what that means, the Anglo-Americans are confident the Russian president is bluffing.

This week on NewsReal, Joe & Niall explain, again, that nuclear exchange isn't in play here; the two sides are indeed escalating, but under the threshold of M.A.D., and against the clock of Ukrainian statehood collapsing into its own footprint. Anyway, nothing major is likely to happen before the US election.

Speaking of which, what on Earth is all this post-debate nonsense between Trump and Harris supporters about Haitian immigrants sacrificing people's pets? As Joe dives into the voodoo, Niall brings up the NYT's election prediction: it's going to take 'days' to count all the votes, 'naturally', so the chances of Kamala not 'winning' are shrinking by the day...
