The Lies Used to Deceive us
Paul Craig Roberts
On June 8, I reminded readers of Israel’s intentional attack on the USS Liberty, an American Navy intelligence ship sitting off the coast of Egypt. Possibly the Israeli plan was to sink the ship with the loss of all lives, and blame Egypt in order to bring the US into Israel’s 1967 war with Egypt, Syria, and Jordan. Israel used the war, which succeeded for Israel due to Washington’s intelligence support, to seize the Sinai Peninsula, Gaza, the West Bank of Palestine, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights.
The US government hid the fact that Israel had attacked the US Navy causing 205 American casualties and ordered the survivors of Israel’s attack on the USS Liberty not to speak of the attack.
On June 3 Abraham Michaels reminded us that the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, like the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center did not occur as reported. https://covertactionmagazine.com/2026/06/03/the-october-7-dissenters/
Just as it is strictly impossible for a handful of Saudi Arabian youths to outwit US national security, it is impossible for a Hamas force to cross the most secure border in the world without detection. Hamas has never explained how they managed such an impossible feat. Most likely Hamas values the responsibility assigned to them by Netanyahu as a sign of Hamas’ potency. But it didn’t happen according to the narrative. The conclusion cannot be avoided that the impossible failure of Israeli security and multiple rows of electronically wired barriers did not happen without Netanyahu’s intention that it happen. The test is the result. What was the result? An excuse for Netanyahu’s genocide of Gaza and the settlers’ seizure of the Palestinian remains of the West Bank.
As Netanyahu recently said, 70% of Gaza is now incorporated into Israel and soon it will be 100%.
Abraham Michaels does us the service of collecting up the disbelieving testimony of Israelis themselves, including those closely involved in Israeli border security, and the views of Americans with foreign policy experience. Clearly, the improbable Hamas attack is something that Netanyahu wanted to happen. https://projectpens.substack.com/p/the-dissenters
9/11 was something that the US Zionist Neoconservatives wanted to happen. They needed what they called “a New Pearl Harbor” in order to launch their wars for Greater Israel. “Seven countries in five years,” as US four-star General Wesley Clark told us on television, was the agenda of the neoconservatives who filled all important positions, including vice president, in the George W. Bush regime.
Scientists report finding reacted and unreacted nano-thermite or thermate, I forget which, in the dust of the three WTC buildings. But how conclusive evidence of high temperature high explosive material capable of slicing through massive steel beams in nano seconds got there was neglected as a topic of the official 9/11 Committee’s report.
Americans, indeed the entirety of the Western world, and given the dominance of Western propaganda, all of the world lives in a contrived reality that is totally false but is supported by governments, elites, and presstitutes who spin the narratives that control the minds of the people.
It is strictly impossible for a Hamas force to enter Israel without detection through multiple barriers of highly sensitive security systems that go off even if a cat walks by. It is strictly impossible for US airport security to fail four times in four airports in the same hour on the same morning and for the US Air Force to be unable to successfully launch jets to control the situation.
The problem we face is that few people really care beyond being fed and entertained. Few are educated and capable of thinking. For most the real threat is their inability to pay their bills. Food, utilities, mortgage payments, car payments are the worries of the majority of Americans and of all peoples. Distracted by the demand of survival, people are helpless to attend to protecting their liberties and the sovereignty of their country.
Consequently, Israel prevails.
