Alastair Crooke who readers ought to now know of participated in two podcasts this last Tuesday, one for Sputnik’s “New Rules” program and the other for an episode of The Duran. The latter has some content spillover from the former in regards to the discussion about the crisis in Palestine, while the latter’s second half discusses Ukraine, Crooke’s article about Gehlen, how that connects with our modern world, and the changes its generating. I should also note that Escobar has a new article out, “The Geopolitics of Al-Aqsa Flood.” The two podcasts will take about two hours of your time to watch. If you must watch just one, the first is just over 40 minutes and centers exclusively on Palestine.
On the armed conflict, little has happened outside the confines of Gaza as Hamas retreats and readies for the coming siege. On water, there’re numerous wells connected to the underlying aquifer, the bigger problem being fuel to run the pumps. Food, power and sanitary questions then follow. The Zionists have formed a “unity” government that will temporally weld the deep fracture within Zionist society that is unsteady at best. There are reports that Zionist support for the Nazis in Ukraine depleted it of some crucial armaments, notably 155mm ammo. There’re also reports that the Zionists have had to resort to old “dumb” bombs from the 1970s as they’ve depleted their stock of smart/glide bombs. Zionist industry doesn’t have the capacity to wage a long war, so Outlaw US Empire support that will of necessity take away from Ukraine must be provided. There are further assessments of the Zionist military’s ability to fight an urban war that it’s never trained for nor has the proper weapons showing it in a negative light.
Russia has increased the number of flights out of Palestine to Russia in a response to demand for them. The loss of those residents added to the massive mobilization will cause an immediate economic recession and further troubles on currency exchanges, and people who can afford to leave are those who could also afford to spend. Those leaving know something very important that most in the West hasn’t a clue about that’s discussed in by Crooke in both podcasts. The Arab League made no statement after its meeting yesterday, while the West has said nothing capable of making the Zionists think better of what they’re doing and what they plan to do later. That later plan is what Crooke knows that readers must learn and then share widely. Simplicius has a useful update at his substack but doesn’t touch what Crooke provides.

God, I hate podcasts. I'd much rather read. My data intake rate is so much higher.
