Israel Checkmated?
Description
The featured story at this week’s False Flag Weekly News is Scott Ritter’s “Checkmate.” Ritter argues that Iran demonstrated on April 13 that it can penetrate US and Israeli air defenses using swarms of drones paving the way for showers of ballistic missiles. Most are cheap decoys designed to “unlock the door to the Iron Dome” so the real weapons can get through. Iran’s retaliatory strike scored direct missile hits on two heavily-defended Negev bases, using missiles with either very small warheads or no warheads at all. The goal was to deliver not death and destruction, but a message: Iran now has the ability to level Israel and destroy US ships and bases in the region. Henceforth, no further actions like the murderous Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus will be tolerated. And by implication, Iran will not permit Israel to complete its genocide of Palestine.
The Zionists’ very weak response consisted of sending a couple of cheap drones to the general vicinity of Isfahan where the IRGC easily shot them down. That act of conspicuous non-retaliation was a tacit admission that Israel’s plan to drag the US into all-out war is not ready for prime time.
According to Ritter, Iran’s defeat of combined US-Israeli air defenses has global implications. Not only have the enormous and ever-expanding missile arsenals of Iran and Hezbollah checkmated the Zionists’ regional nuclear monopoly, but by implication the at-least-equally-advanced missiles of Russia and China should have no problem defeating US air defenses. The US empire, with its flotilla of sitting ducks and its 800 now-hypervulnerable bases occupying dozens of countries, is about as impregnable as the Maginot Line.
The Zionists made an existential mistake last October by gambling that they could complete the genocide of Palestine under US protection. Their time-tested m.o., "seize ever-increasing power over the US and force America to do Israel’s dirty work,” has passed its expiration date, because the US empire is no longer what it once was—in large part due to the damage Israel has inflicted on it.
Netanyahu’s minions are currently threatening the Biden regime: “Support our genocide, or else!” In this case, “or else” implies Zionist power to remove team Biden, whether by assassination (a Zionist specialty) or by using financial and media power to throw the election to Trump (or whoever promises to take orders from Tel Aviv).
But as April 13 demonstrated, the US no longer has the power to protect Israel, or even its own bases and ships. And Israel has even less power to protect itself. So it doesn’t really matter who’s in the Oval Office. Even less does it matter that the Zionists can force Congress to pass bills against such expressions as “river to the sea.” The Zionist entity, like US global hegemony, is doomed. And though the Entity itself is thrashing out madly and genocidally in its death throes, it remains to be seen whether the managers of the US empire will follow suit and instigate a planetary “nuclear Masada.”
Future historians will no doubt express puzzlement about why and how Israel captured then helped destroy the US empire that it was so completely dependent on. Below is an article sketching th
