What's Going Down

 Digging Down,


  Eleni in Athens has sent 2 in-depth articles explaining the actual machinations in the Mideast over the past 15 years, first background to early December, then current actions.
What is changing in the Middle East​,  by Thierry Meyssan
​  The first consequence of the Israeli massacres in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen is not what we expected. To this day, the criminals in power in Tel Aviv continue their conquest with the weapons they are given. The transformation was first in Israel itself and in the Jewish diaspora, forcing the IDF to accept an unwritten ceasefire in Lebanon, while benefiting from Washington’s help to move the fighting to Syria. The Ukrainian and Lebanese fronts merged and moved to Syria.​

​  How Washington and Ankara Changed the Regime in Damascus​,  by Thierry Meyssan
With surprising aplomb, the international press assures us that we are not witnessing a military change of regime in Syria, but a revolution overthrowing the Syrian Arab Republic. The presence of the Turkish army and US special forces is hidden from us. We are bombarded with propaganda that has been denied several times about the crimes attributed to “Bashar”. Cannibal throat-cutters are transformed into respectable revolutionaries. Once again, the international press is consciously lying to us.​

​  Western powers expand engagements with new leadership in Syria
​  Several European countries followed the UK’s footsteps in dispatching delegations to Damascus on Tuesday to hold talks with representatives of the new governing authorities, which are led by the Sunni rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).
​  The French flag was raised at its embassy for the first time in 12 years as diplomats met with a Syrian government official.
​  The EU announced that it would send its ambassador back to its delegation in Damascus. The German foreign ministry said it was exploring possibilities of reopening its Syrian embassy ahead of talks scheduled for later in the day.​

​  Israel sets fire to intensive care unit at Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza
​  Israeli occupation forces have once again targeted north Gaza's Kamal Adwan Hospital, striking its intensive care unit (ICU) and setting it ablaze. Hospital Director Hussam Abu Safiya said patients were evacuated just moments before the attack, and though the flames have been brought under control using blankets and the little drinking water left in the medical centre, they have not been extinguished entirely as the hospital lacks the facilities to deal with the fires. Israel has intensified its siege of northern Gaza for the past nearly 80 days, further reducing the entry of vital aid, including food, water, medicines and fuel.​   https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20241218-israel-sets-fire-to-intensive-care-unit-at-kamal-adwan-hospital-in-gaza/

​  Gilbert Doctorow has details and implications:  Russia detains suspected murderer of General Kirillov
​  Reuters reported on the arrest by Russian investigative authorities of a 29-year-old Uzbek man suspected of having carried out the assassination yesterday of Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, head of the military’s nuclear, chemical and biological defense forces. We are told that the detainee has confessed to the crime and has said he was given this project by Ukrainian intelligence, who offered him a $100,000 reward for success and a comfortable life somewhere in Western Europe.
​  As we knew already hours after the crime yesterday, the Ukraine’s SBU security service claimed responsibility.​..
​..In her Briefing to journalists earlier today, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova explained why General Kirillov would have been targeted by “the Anglo-Saxons” for his many years spent exposing their egregious violations of international law by (the U.S.) operating biological laboratories in Ukraine and elsewhere that targeted specific ethnic groups including Slavs, for his exposing the false flag operations  of the white helmets and other British agents in Syria who staged phony chemical attacks to lay at the door of the Assad regime and its Russian backers, for his exposing the falsehoods of the alleged Russian use of Novichok against the Skripals in Salisbury, U.K., and for exposing the use of chemical agents by Ukrainians on the battlefield in the ongoing war with Russia. She identified the ‘Anglo-Saxons’ as the ‘main beneficiaries of the Kiev regime’s terrorist activities.’  More importantly, she called the ‘Anglo-Saxons’ ‘the ones who masterminded all their activities.’​   https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2024/12/18/russia-detains-suspected-murderer-of-general-kirillov/

​  Nissan is not viable alone, not even for 2025.  Honda Motor Co. and  Nissan Motor Co. have begun talks on a merger that would create the world's third-biggest automaker group by volume, sources familiar with the matter said Wednesday, amid fierce global competition in electric vehicles dominated by overseas rivals.
  Japan's second- and third-largest automakers are considering the possibility of establishing a holding company
, the sources said, in an apparent bid to form an automobile alliance to challenge Tesla Inc. of the United States and Chinese EV makers such as BYD Co.

NYT Panics Over Outrage at Insurance Companies 
​  The Wall Street Journal and New York Post, as well as Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post editorial board, not only decried the widespread support for Mangione but fought back against legitimate criticism of the health insurance industry.
​  Now the New York Times is in full-scale panic mode over the widespread boiling anger against the health insurance industry the killing has laid bare (CNN, 12/6/24; PBS, 12/7/24; Reuters, 12/9/24).
​  Times columnist Bret Stephens (12/12/24) wrote that because Thompson came from small-town beginnings, whereas Mangione was from a privileged background, it was in fact the slain CEO who was the real “working-class hero.” This shows that Stephens doesn’t understand class as a relationship of power, where people like Thompson have economic power, regardless of their cultural background.​   https://fair.org/home/nyt-panics-over-outrage-at-insurance-companies/

​  The game plan running up to 2030. Eva Vlaardingerbroek: 
​  "The farmers need to give up their farms before 2030, specifically that year. Yeah, so that's not a coincidence. That year doesn't come out of nowhere. So that year is basically the deadline that our global elites have given our country and will probably give you to abide by these new regulations. And that agenda is called the 2030 agenda." "And now I have a slide. showing you what that entails. So the 2030 agenda is a United Nations agenda. So there we go, everybody is part of the United Nations, right, the entire world. And this agenda consists of 17, what they call sustainable development goals. And when you take a look at them right there, you're like, well, what's wrong with that?" "They all seem very noble, no poverty, no hunger. Who could be against that? However, if we take a closer look at how they actually want to accomplish all of this, anybody with two functioning brain cells realizes that this cannot happen unless there is an active and maybe even forceful redistribution of goods, foods, property, and our rights, which basically comes down to the obliteration of all of our basic liberties and our rights."​   https://x.com/newstart_2024/status/1869034872318185888?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1869034872318185888%7Ctwgr%5Eb56ce7090c2357bcaee5335a938de8c4f3e5f3d6%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theautomaticearth.com%2F2024%2F12%2Fdebt-rattle-december-18-2024%2F
