YOU WANT HEAVY METAL? THIS IS HEAVY METAL

From one of my top Deep State sources. Highest level. 100% reliable for over two decades.

Excerpts of our latest exchange:



NUCLEAR BOMBING

"I was having dinner with *** where we were discussing the effect of the dropping of a nuclear bomb on a nation. He said it would take three nuclear bombs to overthrow the US Government. One for the state of Israel."

YOM KIPPUR WAR

"I was having dinner with X the very powerful billionaire with a high official of Israel discussing the Yom Kippur War under Golda Meir. He was a close advisor to every Israeli leader. The problem was that Israel ran out of ammunition and President Nixon cut Israel off from the resupply. Golda then threatened to send her nuclear missiles against Russia who would blame the US for the strike and the US would be destroyed. Nixon relented."

UKRAINE WEAPONS IN PALESTINE

"Ukraine weapons are ending up in the hands of the Palestinians. The question is which country is paying for it. Iran just made a deal with the US for six billion dollars and it is unlikely Iran would jeopardize that. I have a source who gave me the name of the country but I cannot reveal it. The fact is that Ukrainian weapons are going to the Gaza Strip and they are being paid for but not by Iran."

AL-AQSA


"A NKVD general predicted that if the Israelis tampered with the holy shrine of Al-Aqsa it would lead to its end. He was presented by Putin with a gold watch. He sat next to Milosevic at Dayton as his chief advisor. The Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman was his protege."

Enjoy doing the math.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ The UN Security Council, following a closed meeting, did not adopt any statement regarding the situation in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone.

As the Russian representative, Mr. Nebenzya told reporters, he called for a ceasefire and a shift towards substantive negotiations during the Security Council session.

Malta's representative, Vanessa Fraizer, in turn, mentioned that none of the countries had proposed a draft statement. She also noted that all Security Council members condemned the Hamas attack on Israel.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโš”๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ถOctober 10: The Chime of American Missiles, Echoes of Iraqi Tears ๐Ÿ’”

On this day, October 10, history wasn't just penned down with ink, it was stained with the tears of the unseen and unheard. The 'Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002' that breezed through Congress wasn't merely the herald of a storm of 'Shock and Awe', it was the harbinger of a calamity that would soon shroud Iraq in a veil of mourning. The U.S. government, exuding an aura of moral ascendancy, marched forth under the banner of freedom, with a mission to exorcise the ghosts of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs). Yet, these spectres proved to be phantoms of imagination, elusive as the mirage of justice that was promised to the Iraqi people. The thunderous applause that reverberated through the halls of Congress on the passing of the resolution, was a stark harbinger to the deadly silence that would soon cloak the once vibrant lands of Iraq.

As the American missiles rained down on Baghdad, the narrative of liberation was quickly unmasked, revealing a face of imperialism and an insatiable thirst for control. The pretense of righteousness was shattered with every civilian home that turned into rubble. The death toll wasn't just a number; it was a testimony to the horrors unleashed by a false narrative. As the smoke cleared, the world saw not the remnants of WMDs, but the graves of over a million Iraqis. The harrowing tales of loss and devastation found their way into every corner of the globe, a grim testament to a decision made on this day.

Over in Ukraine, a different narrative unfolds, a narrative of measured responses, even amidst escalating provocations. Russiaโ€™s SMO in Ukraine illustrates a contrasting approach to war. While the U.S. stormed Iraq based on falsified pretexts alongside โ€˜shock & aweโ€™, the meticulous and restrained approach of Russia in Ukraine underlines a pursuit of stability over chaos, a respect for international law, and a demonstration of how power should be wielded responsibly on the world stage.

The legacy of October 10, 2002, continues to serve as a dark reminder of the catastrophic impacts of military aggression based on false pretexts. The juxtaposition of the U.S. intervention in Iraq and Russia's conduct in Ukraine underscores a profound lesson in the annals of geopolitics. As the dawn breaks on this significant day, the echoes of the past reverberate through the corridors of power, urging the architects of tomorrow to tread the path of truth, justice, and responsibility.

Israels work in Gaza, a place where 2 million people, half of them children live in unimaginable misery and deprivation.

When you treat a country like an open air prison, fence its people in like animals, what do you expect to confront you when they break through those fences? @irishmaninrussia

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธPutin on the worsening conflict between Israel and Palestine with the Iraqi Prime Minister:

Unfortunately, we are seeing a sharp escalation of the situation in the Middle East. I think that many will agree with me that this is a clear example of the failure of US policy in the Middle East, which tried to monopolize the settlement, but, unfortunately, was not concerned with finding compromises acceptable to both sides. On the contrary, putting forward their own ideas about how this should be done, they put pressure on both sides - namely, both - first on one, then on the other - but each time without taking into account the fundamental interests of the Palestinian people. I mean, first of all, the need to implement the decision of the UN Security Council on the creation of an independent sovereign Palestinian state. But, in any case, no matter what happens, I know your position, dear Mr. Prime Minister, and our position is that damage to the civilian population must be minimized and reduced to zero, and we call on all conflicting parties to do this sides.

The Islanderโ€™s Stance: In Pursuit of Just Peace Amid the Horrors in Gaza

At The Islander, our compass points towards the enduring struggle and resilience of the Palestinian people. The tumultuous waves of history have washed upon the shores of Palestine, often leaving scars that run generations deep. As Gaza once again finds itself in the crucible of horrific conflict, our solidarity with Palestine remains steadfast.

We comprehend the multi-faceted essence of this struggle, rarely are conflicts like these black and white and it's too easy to view this with an emotionally driven, myopic lens. Hamas, a formidable faction within the Palestinian framework, represents a particular response to decades of subjugation. While their engagement in the battlefield springs from a well of historical injustices, the trail of civilian anguish that follows is a route that is hard to endorse.

Drawing a parallel to the tenets we've upheld during the SMO in Ukraine, our ethos resists the vilification of entire populations based on the acts of the few. Not every Israeli wears the cloak of an "evil occupier". Similarly, not every Palestinian harbours the spirit of terror. It's the vile acts of certain factions and individuals that merit condemnation.

As the skies over Gaza reverberate with the echoes of merciless Israeli bombardment, the historical narrative unfolds yet again - of a land unjustly occupied, of indigenous rights trampled upon, and of international laws flouted. The Western media often sails with the wind, offering a selective, pro-Israeli narrative that barely scratches the surface of this profound struggle. MSM hypocrisy often runs thick when covering this historical conflict.

We, at The Islander, endeavour to navigate through these murky waters, to chart a course that acknowledges the historical injustices, yet advocates for a discourse that transcends the rhetoric of hatred. The horrific assaults on Gaza, both present and past, underscore a narrative of oppression. Yet, the call for or celebration of civilian casualties on either side of the fence is a descent we refuse to partake in.

War wages in the name of civilians, yet it's the innocent who perish without consent. This grim reality is not lost on us. We reject any narrative that turns civilians into combatants or justifies their slaughter.

Our hopeful path is towards a just peace - a path where the rights and dignities of the Palestinian people are revered, where the cycle of violence is broken, and where the seeds of a peaceful coexistence can take root. We remain committed to shedding light on the nuanced realities, to challenging the myopic views that perpetuate the cycle of hatred, and to advocating for a narrative that honours the sanctity of innocent lives.

As The Islander sails through these tumultuous seas, our beacon of empathy and justice shines bright, illuminating the path towards a more balanced and humane discourse amidst the raging storms of conflict.
