Israel’s Secret Arsenal: It’s Not So Secret Anymore

SSG (Join to see) Lol. Uh huh . . . never a straight story, right?
Photos of the Dimona facility are online, and anyone who has spoken with Mordechai Vanunu knew the story, anyway - long ago. "Refrain from provoking the rogue elephant in the living room as much as possible" (and do as you are extorted) seems to be our actual policy regarding the Sampson Option. Apparently, if our folks in government can't speak about "whatever" (there are many topics no doubt) that means they can not answer questions from their constituents.

SGT Mary G. US Army PSYOP heavily relies on the truth and overt messaging (superliminal) to influence (not that other US Orgs dont use other methods).
Every natiom has its own flavor, IDF for example likes to hire models to wesr their uniform to influence military aged males in the US into supporting them. China isnt good at it so they spam down anything against the CCP, Russia uses a variety of tactics but they like to sow chaos.

DISINFO is a lie tangled in with a partial truth. The Soviets in particular used this tactic against Israel to weaken the US, by using our support for Israel to drive a wedge between us and the muslim region. Typically DISINFO will appear as a credible source (such as the website above) and have elements of truth in it (IDF Nukes), but also spread lies (US Congress prohibited from talking about IDF nukes).

Now, I am not looking to discredit the website or you. But given my background and the internet driving self propagating PSYOP programs, I see everything as an attempt to influence us toward the interests of another nation. Even our own media is playing both sides due to political influence as well as financial influence from our ememies.

I like to tack on this pic when I talk about PSYOP, because supppsedly the CCP filters it out.

SSG (Join to see) Yes. I know. And, totally agree with what you've said. Sometimes the disinformation efforts are very obvious, other times not. I have found that when people honestly tell you their personal experiences, without interpretation, the facts are not arguable. Many of the experiences are traumatic; these days many are recorded. I certainly do not imagine the website the article was on is credible. However, it is easy enough to check if Philip M. Giraldi actually wrote the article (I didn't check) and whether or not it has been altered if he did. I consider Council for the National Interest (CNI) to ordinarily be credible - since diplomats who had served in the M.E. region started it in the 80s, given that the twisted truth information about the region (which saturates Congress) is far different than the reality on the ground of which they were all aware. There is also an increasingly large number of Russian websites in the past few years, with a big increase recently. Usually the spelling and grammar and atrocious translations are a dead give away, but they are not all as obvious. I use a little add-on that puts a tiny flag of the nation of origin of the registered website {Country Flags & IP Whois}.
I worked online with a Palestinian woman living in Dheishe refugee camp outside of Bethlehem to create a website layout and maintain it, before 2000 (both of us volunteering, since I had the webspace and we had met in an online discussion group). Our purpose was to provide a space for the essays of the elementary to middle school age kids in the school close to where she lived. Apparently, they had not been enthused about an assignment to write about their own experiences in connection to a special day where the grandparents were handing over the keys to the houses they had been forced to flee from in 1948. We talked about it and thought maybe the kids would get enthused if they could share their experiences with the whole world from their own website. So she spoke with the teachers, and the kids did become enthused. The teachers provided the kids' essays, and we put them on the website. My colleague also provided some background information for the website, like the places and original names of villages in the West Bank, the point being to keep the culture and traditions from being eradicated. An example other than food, is Palestinian embroidery which has a long long history as a beautiful craft. Historically as part of women's clothing, it indicates the region a woman lives in, according to the design. Fact is that until shortly before the crusades embroidery wasn't considered a big deal in Europe until the church started popularizing it. One of the first important pieces in Europe - the Bayeux Tapestry. Anyway . . . through the website the kids could link up with classrooms of other students worldwide who were also online. They learned English in school, so they could practice their English that way too, with other children. We didn't know it at the time, but it was the first Palestinian refugee camp to be online (during hours the electricity was not turned off) - so was given an award by Bir Zeit University. Then it was funded internationally (primarily Norway) and we both ended our involvement. As it turned out she and I had both attended the same University in Washington State, in different decades. Small world, sometimes - with family worldwide.

What I would add to what you've said about disinformation, is that within my own experience, very far left folks, locally (who openly state they are proponents of communism, Marxism, Maoism) are always at work trying to gain more influence within the hierarchy that lured them to embrace the ideologies. And the way they do that is to push the ideology hard to win "converts". They become punishing when they meet resistance to their efforts from anyone they imagine might buy into their efforts hook, line, and sinker, but doesn't.

I had some of these folks targeting me with nastiness when we were participating in local Peace and Justice Center activities. From the start, simply because I was a veteran, they assumed I would not be a strong supporter of their ideology. They were correct about me not being supporter. However, it was not because I am a veteran. "The treatment" did not start until after I didn't buy into joining the Veterans For Peace group, which they pushed folks they knew were veterans to participate in. It was almost humorous the "mean girl" attitude that became active when I didn't choose to participate. Thing is VFP may be a great organization. The name is certainly attractive. However, the leadership of the local one was (is?) top heavy with far, far, left folks. The far left demographic also likes to target busy idealistic college students in the social sciences (more likely to be "bleeding hearts") and get them all fired up about how bad the U.S.A. is, then push the university groups they participate in to be in coalitions that support all the leftist groups. University students can be an idealistic and naive demographic that doesn't question, doesn't research . . . partly because good undergrad students focus on their classes, and don't have time to engaged in extra curricular research of everything else. They are also encouraged to create and participate in school organizations. It looks good on a resume' and is easier to do when someone else is willing to do the busy work and organizing - thus they particpate in the coalition, which is mostly far left group driven.
I had wondered why there are so many folks in ABQ who are so committed to very far left political ideologies in the area - openly. Then I realized with Kirtland AFB here, and its missions, also all the research done with which university departments are affiliated, it may very likely attract those folks. I find it a bit intimidating - since it is certainly not merely a local endeavor. And getting targeted with those folks beyond the local level is no fun . . . like swimming alone, out in the middle of the ocean. I suppose the local demographic is nothing new and that it all went into high gear with Los Alamos when it was not known, yet, to exist. But "the bad guys" knew it existed from the start and local folks must have known too.
So, my main problem with a lack of transparency in media and government is what we don't know, but the bad guys do know - even though, supposedly, sensitive information is not broadcast so the bad guys don't get it handed to them on a silver platter. So if the bad guys already know, then why the continuing lack of transparency? Common sense suggests it is better to get it "from the horses mouth" than via the analysis of the bad guys. I am always dubious anyway, including of our government, as we should be as a self-governing nation of people, more so when media makes a concentrated effort to dumb down what we need to know - the past two years of pandemic chaos in the news demonstrating that.
I am doing OTA t.v. the fast few years so this dumbing down is what MSM local news is like including national airing of NBC, CBS, ABC. The pandemic is the only "news" that ever takes priority over crime and divisiveness. I should spend time checking out other news sources online, or Roku - the 24/7 channels. Even CGTN news is good about international news - especially Africa - CCPs activities there, Silk Road "progress" (on its way to Afghanistan now, of course) and cultural presentations. And C-SPAN is usually worth watching. But the fact that MSM is so dumbed down, nationally and locally, raises questions, especially because of all the extreme political divisiveness being cultivated within our nation. I usually ignore it, except to point it out periodically, in the event it might make a good difference. But it exists to get people all fired up and direct attention to created problems - thus redirecting attention of so many away from being concerned with what is current that needs questioning and honest debating.

Interesting pic. Who knows if it does the job or not . . .

Surrender to what? No longer being the new kid bully in the neighborhood on a relentless land grab intended to be from the Nile to the Eupharates? People deserve to be the target of genocide because they aren't Jewish according to Bibi?
He has never spoken "for the Jewish people". He has never spoken for anything other than the political ideology of zionism - which is demonstrably informed by genocidal Nazism, not Judaism. Big difference. Not even decent Israelis buy into that "everybody hates us because we are Jewish" nonsense. Where is he voting these days and paying taxes? Israel or U.S.A. or both?
