What goes 'round...

As I predicted, Hezbollah is gradually upping the ante in response to enormous Israeli provocations and war crimes.

The MSM has interpreted Mossad’s pager and walkie-talkie attacks as an attempt to disrupt Hezbollah military communications and subsequent missile attacks ostensibly on missile sites n Southern Lebanon in preparation for a possible land offensive in Southern Lebanon.

The implication is that the targets of these attacks were military, and civilians were “collateral damage”. However, Alastair Crooke thinks differently. It was the other way around.

The notion that Hizbullah’s communications are crippled is wishful thinking that fails to distinguish between what may be called civil-society Hizbullah, and its military arm.

I am sure that that Mossad completely understands that Hezbollah is both a civil movement and a military power, as Crooke goes on to say. Therefore the spin that you see in the MSM is just Zionist propaganda The usual psychopathic paralogic.

Hizbullah is a civil movement, as well as a military power. It is the Authority over a significant slice of Beirut and a country – a responsibility that requires the Movement to provide civil order and security. The pagers and radios were used primarily by its civil security forces (effectively a civil police managing security and order in Hizbullah-controlled parts of Lebanon), as well as used by its logistics and support branches. Since these personnel are not combat forces, they were not seen to require truly secure communications.

Even before the 2006 war, Hizbullah ended all cellphone and landline communications in favour of their own dedicated optic cable system and hand-courier messaging for the military cadres. In short, Hizbullah’s communications at the civil level took a major hit, but this will not unduly impact upon its military forces. For years, the Movement has operated on the basis that units could continue with combat, even in the event of a complete rupture of optic communications, or the loss of a HQ.

Similarly, Hezbollah’s missile most deadly missile batteries are well-hidden and protected and not vulnerable to the kind of strikes the Israelis are making, which seemed to have hit a lot of civilian residences, with a lot more civilians dying than Hezbollah fighters.

The intent of these strikes, however, are not to diminish or degrade Hezbollah’s military capabilities — but to goad the organization into war before it is prepared –and to draw in Iran — before it is prepared.

Mossad is no doubt aware the IRGC liaisons have been begging its allies in Iraq, Lebanon and elsewhere to go slow with attacks on Israel to give Iran time to mobilize its forces and master new technologies provided by the Russians.

Israel does not really want to mount a land offensive into Southern Lebanon as many Western analysts seem to think. The last time it tried that it got a bloody nose. What the Zionists would really like is a Hezbollah ground offensive into Northern Israel!

So the terror attacks are intended to provoke.

The Israelis also hope to hurt Lebanese public support for Hezbollah, which popular as the is the main source of social services in Lebanon and the only political organization with any kind of integrity.

If this is one of their goals, they are misguided. The Lebanese are not going to blame Hezbollah for the death and destruction reeked by the Zionists. Lebanese support for Hezbollah is growing not diminishing

Hezbollah understands all this. As does Iran.

So while Hezbollah is reacting, as I have written before—as it must— it does so by, gradually ratcheting up its attacks, and focusing on military facilities or bases first in Northern Israel, more recently in Tel Aviv and the West Bank.

One step a time….. Compared to Israeli attacks — pinpricks, of course. But their propaganda value is huge.

Hezbollah and Iran understands that Israel is a pathocracy—a collective psychopath. And the US too.

Not in the clinical psychiatric sense that I do— but in practical political terms.

Hezbollah and Iran must are being careful not to respond in the same way—not to become what they abhor. Psychopaths are arrogant and make mistakes. Clever as some are, they drown in delusionary dominance

(From My Special Article, Part 3)

If an individual in a position of political power is a psychopath, he or she can create an epidemic of psychopathology in people who are not, essentially, psychopathic.

Working hard on Part 3 as you can see—which turns out to be relevant to current geopolitical events.
