Al-Aqsa Storm-Swords of Iron: The fire spreads! The world turns against Israel?

These reports are just the tip of the spear!

“Iraq is preparing for possible Israeli attacks on its territory if the current confrontation widens. They do not want to become a new version of Syria, subject to repeated Israeli strikes without a response.”-Iraqi official speaking under the condition of anonymity, 30OCT2023, concerning efforts to build an air defense system that can destroy any Israeli attack

There are reports that a drone bomb hit a U.S. military barracks in Iraq, it did not detonate! The Times of Israel reports that U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria have been attacked at least 23 times since the beginning of the Israeli war on Gaza!

Voice of America says the U.S. blames Iran:

Today, it has been revealed that yesterday’s secretive meeting between Secretary of State Blinken and the Defense Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), Prince Khalid bin Salman Al Saud, was about finding a fast end to the current Israeli war on Palestinians. The Defense Minister of KSA says the Israel/Palestine war is spilling over and impeding their efforts in Yemen!

The Times of Israel, 01NOV2023: Rebels in Yemen “launched a large batch of drones during the past hours at several targets”!

Haaretz, 01NOV2023: Surprise rocket attacks by rebels in Yemen will force the U.S. to change its support of Israel!

Here is the strange U.S. Department of State ‘press conference’ video from 01NOV2023, in which Blinken refuses to make any statement, or take questions from reporters:

Also today, Secretary of State Blinken left for Jordan and Israel for emergency meetings to discuss allowing hundreds of U.S. citizens in Gaza to leave (Israel controls the border crossings and has not been allowing foreigners to leave Gaza), a “humanitarian pause” (the new official phrase for cease fire) and peace deal, and the creation of a Palestinian State (among other things), in an effort to stop the war from spreading to other countries!

On 01NOV2023, the Kingdom of Jordan recalls envoy to Israel, says Israel is to blame for Gaza crisis!

On 01NOV2023, the Foreign Ministers of NATO-Turkey and Islamic Republic of Iran issued a joint warning to Israel!

02NOV2023, Hamas militia Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades (aka Qassam Brigades) units operating in Lebanon launches 12 rockets, hitting the northern Israeli Kiryat Shmona settlement! Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system failed to identify the rockets launched from Lebanon! An Israeli military barracks was bombed by drones! Israeli officials in the Kiryat Shmona settlement report they are under drone attack, residents ordered to remain in bomb shelters! Lebanon’s Hezbollah reports they have also begun attacks on Israeli military positions!

Israeli settlers in The West Bank are now rampaging, burning down Palestinian homes and business, and killing Palestinians! United Nations says at least 1-thousand West Bank Palestinians have been displaced, this is legally known as Ethnic Cleansing!

United Nations threatens War Crimes charges due to massive civilian deaths (at least 9-thousand), and after Israel bombs another UN operated elementary school in a Gaza refugee camp!  This is not the first time during this war that Israel targeted a UN school: 11 UN staff, 30 pupils at UN schools, killed in Gaza!

Russia says Israel’s continued attacks on Syria are not “acceptable”! On 30OCT2023, the United Nations special envoy in Syria says Israel is spilling the war into Syria!

The Times of Israel, 31OCT2023: Egypt deploys armor near Rafah border crossing!

All Arab News, 30OCT2023: Egypt threatens to end relations with Israel after Israel attacks Egyptian border guards!

Back in June 2023, Israeli and Egyptian border guards engaged in a firefight!

Al Aqsa Storm-Swords of Iron: BIDEN’S BABY BEHEADINGS=FAKE NEWS?

The ancient empire of Babylon covered and area from present day Israel in the West, to Iran in the East. “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal. For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”-from Revelation 18 (supposedly King James Bible)

“I never thought that I would, see and have confirmed, pictures of terrorists beheading children.”-Joseph Robinette Biden Junior, President of the United States, during 11OCT2023 meeting with Jewish leaders in the Indian Treaty Room of the White House

The next day, White House staff claimed Biden was actually referring to news media reports, but they failed to give the exact news reports.

The Times of Israel: Biden has not seen or independently confirmed Hamas beheaded Israeli children!

SkyNews: “During the tour we didn’t see any evidence of this, and the army spokesperson or commanders also didn’t mention any such incidents.”-independent Israeli journalist Oren Ziv, after touring the so called massacre site

Multiple news outlets revealed that the claim of babies being beheaded came from a known instigator, who is also an Israeli settler and a Major in the Israeli army reserve (by the way, many ‘civilian’ settlers are army reservists), David Ben Zion.

Mondoweiss: There is no proof Palestinian fighters ‘beheaded’ babies. The only source is a radical settler.

The Grayzone: Source of dubious ‘beheaded babies’ claim is Israeli settler leader who incited riots to ‘wipe out’ Palestinian village

The ancient empire of Babylon covered and area from present day Israel in the West, to Iran in the East. “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.

“Indonesia is deeply concerned with the escalation of conflict between Palestine and Israel. Indonesia urges the immediate end of violence to avoid further human casualties. The root of conflict, namely the occupation of the Palestinian territories by Israel, must be resolved…”-Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 08OCT2023

On 08OCT2023, people in war-torn Yemen took to the streets to show support for Palestine:

Operation Jupiter-HRAPS: In the name of Health, you can be tracked in Real Time!

Health/fitness trackers have been in use since the 1980s, but the latest U.S. Army version takes ‘health tracking’ to a new level: “The HRAPS is a fantastic tool to help tactical commanders and frontline health care providers make critical decisions about Warfighters’ health and performance during both training and real-world operations. It is designed to help small-unit leaders and frontline medics identify possible health concerns before they become critical. It gives a snapshot of critical health and performance data about once a minute, so leaders can know their Soldiers’ location and vital signs at all times whenever the device is transmitting data.”-Emily Krohn, U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity-HRAPS program

During this year’s U.S. Army overall Best Squad Competition (2nd annual) a new device was tested, in the name of health. It is called HRAPS, Health Readiness and Performance System.

HRAPS earbud. U.S. Army photo by Cameron E. Parks, 05APR2023.

The HRAPS has a lightweight transmitter, about the size and shape of an earbud, that attaches to your chest.  The HRAPS has been in development since 2018.

Packaged HRAPS waiting to be tested in a CBRN environment, during Exercise Scarlet Response in Perry, Georgia, 19JUL2023. U.S. Army photo by Cameron E. Parks.

The U.S. Department of Defense is using the excuse of supposed ‘failures’ of medevac during the Iraq and Afghanistan occupations, and the expected coming Near Peer War, to justify HRAPS: “Because of the forecasted future nature of combat, it will be imperative to have modern, user-friendly, rugged, and expeditionary tools like HRAPS to help frontline commanders in the Joint Forces make more informed decisions. The reality is that medevac capabilities found during previous operations, like in Iraq and Afghanistan, will be stretched very thin due to the possible operating environments of the future, where small teams will deploy far from higher echelon care facilities in austere, remote locations. It will be a critical advantage to have tools like HRAPS that will help provide advanced warning for health concerns that can point to deeper issues before they become emergencies. Having real-time health information for the Warfighters on the frontlines will help inform field medical care and maximize the effectiveness of available resources.”-Emily Krohn, U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity-HRAPS program

Of course, this new device is being touted as a tool only for saving your life: “During emergency situations while treating injuries and casualties, every minute counts, and having a baseline of physiological data tracked over a period of time would help inform decision making while treating Soldiers in the field. We know that the effects of injuries compound over time, so being able to identify vital sign anomalies before they present in a patient is important to helping prevent possible complications with the onset of symptoms. If abnormalities do appear, we will be able to treat them early in the continuum, which would help mitigate injuries before they begin to escalate, and help providers apply a more holistic approach to casualty treatment, leading to better overall outcomes.”-Staff Sergeant Jesse Hylton, Best Squad competitor who is testing HRAPS

Pennsylvania’s new MC-130J Commando-2

Video

Pennsylvania Air National Guard photo by Master Sergeant Alexander Farver, 02FEB2023.

On 02FEB2023, Pennsylvania’s 193rd Special Operations Wing (SOW) received its first MC-130J Commando-2: “The 193rd now offers something the U.S. military didn’t have before. Special Operations Forces based in the northeast now have a crucial air asset right in their backyard to build their combat readiness. Combatant commanders have a much more robust and versatile capability to project air power in different geographic regions.”-Colonel Gordon Frankenfield, 193rd Special Operations Group

The MC-130J can refuel other aircraft, in the air. Pennsylvania Air National Guard photo by Master Sergeant Alexander Farver, 15APR2023.

The MC-130J Commando-2 is used for low-level infiltration, exfiltration and resupply of special operations forces, by airdrop or air-land, air refueling missions for special operations helicopters and tiltrotor aircraft, and intruding ‘politically sensitive’ or hostile territories. Most missions are flown at night.  The airdrop of propaganda leaflets is another mission the MC-130J conducts.
