Coffee and Covid has an interesting take on the Israel attack and it makes perfect sense to me. There was literally no opposition from Iran even though they supposedly have great air defenses.
No doubt some US judge will tell Israel they can’t attack anymore. And no doubt on Saturday we will see protests against Israel and FOR Iran from the dumbest and most hateful among us.
I was just thinking how far back this was all designed. Had to be a very long time. The pagers didn’t happen overnight and I think that was one of the first building blocks.
It would be but sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. Israel and Iran were allies in the days of the Shah. And what the hard line Islamists have done to their own people, one can only guess but when they start beating women to death for not wearing the headgear, I suspect they don't necessarily win many friends amongst their own people.
A really wonderful roundup Michelle. Your’s & Ceila’s substack are steadying when most news sources emulate the four horses of the apocalypse & gaslight for good measure. It’s the latter that is quite tiring.
Really do read this article on what Mossad was up to. They are explaining about the operation. It is astonishing. Iran has now shut down its internet because they don't want certain things getting out...
Michelle- I just read & reread the article. It is astonishing; it is a picture perfect example of what planning & precision looks like.
I’m ashamed to be an American at this point. It’s not just the looney left but it’s the seemingly indifferent boomers (not all, but way too many) who are content to party rather than simply look around at a reality other than their own along with greedy immoral ideologies playing out all around the country.
This King thing is just, IMHO, another round of why the Israelites are to be emulated not eliminated — the reason why they are God’s chosen people.
It’s the overt gaslighting that is maddening but those in the USA - regardless of pedigree or academic credentials do not fully grasp what it means to live, think, strategize as those in the Old Testament
did — all while having access to all the technology.
I am not saying that it how everyone, everyone should live & think — I’m just saying the hubris of the entitled elites who believe that sentient beings have more right to live than some humans based on an AI heuristic.
Yesterday’s minor cloud having issues should spark more discussion — JMHO — than it did.
I do believe the reliance on
all things online will eventually be our undoing.
It was encouraging to read that old school approaches still exists & is used in concert with the myriad of differing technologies.
It’s been a long week- sorry if this is rambling.🙏
Thank you for letting us know tomorrow is the Trooping of the Colors, I enjoy the military ceremony (although as a private standing in formation 40+ years ago I was less enthusiastic about military ceremonies).
Tomorrow is also the US Army’s 250th birthday so that’s a lot for one day.
Thank you for the info on the strikes overnight. I knew all along it was a matter of “when” not “if”.

It was obviously last year that Israel does have active cells within Iran. They have been planning this for a long time.
It seems Iran relied a lot on bluster and that no one would ever dare to attack.
The footage is wild. https://x.com/Osint613

And this is Mossad footage : https://www.ynetnews.com/article/ske00wtfqxg
They are saying that it was years' in the making. They have released it for a purpose...
Yes it will have been in the works for months and months. The offing of Haniyeh was possibly the first building block.
The arrogance of the Iranians possibly played into Israel's hands. It does seem that they were able to neutralise the entire air force.
https://www.ynetnews.com/article/bytbiqtxxx#autoplay is a good article
The Iranian military and government must be pretty packed with Israelis! This is something that would seem totally unbelievable in fiction.

I read that the pager operation took 10 years of planning and this took 20.
It just goes to show what meticulous planning can achieve.

Blessings from across the pond 🙏

I second this sentiment! Michelle and Celia have created little groves of santity.
Thank you
Ditto.

Yes isn't it great that the US is celebrating the Army's 250th? I am pleased Trump likes pomp and circumstance enough to do it.
I sincerely hope no one faints. The Trooping of the Colour can have fainting soldiers in busbys.
Yes, it is was always when and not if simply because of who currently runs Iran. I hope and pray that they get a wiser leadership soon.
That's so clever how you can trick your bees into thinking they've swarmed.
Beekeeping is full of clever tricks and gear. It is better to have dealt with a swarm before it happens rather than afterwards.
I am not good enough to do the Snelgrove board method. https://wbka.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/a018themanyusesofasnelgroveboard.pdf
Hello Northumberland! Sorry to be so late at the party.
I'm with You on Israel.
That is a miracle about the plane-crash survivor.
That about the Edinburgh book festival makes me cringe.
I'm with You on the AI companies licensing works.
Congratulations on the "swarm" You created. And also on the hens laying. And I'm glad to hear the writing is going well.
TY, as always, Michelle. I hope it's better late than never.
So lovely to hear from you JT. I was a bit late in posting yesterday.
Fingers crossed with Israel and Iran. It is not going to be smooth sailing but I am afraid it is necessary.
