Obama’s Gaza Game

Obama is using Israel as a lever to push Egypt back into the Islamist camp.

While Israelis are fighting and dying, families huddling in bomb shelters and soldiers going off to face death, the men and women in suits and power suits moving through the great halls of diplomacy are using them as pawns in a larger game.

This author’s take strikes me as leaning slightly toward a paranoid interpretation where a small group of puppet masters are manipulating events according to a grand plan.

Nonetheless, I agree with the main theme, if with a different rationale.

The main thrust of Hamas starting the war was to influence Egypt, but it was because the Egyptians had massively shut down smuggling tunnels from Egypt, and Hamas was going bankrupt and was unable to meet payroll. Their existential requirement is to get the blockade lifted.

The real objective of this war was to undermine Egypt. Egypt was supposed to scramble into the new alignment by developing closer ties with Hamas and cutting a deal with the Muslim Brotherhood.

And if Egypt’s government wouldn’t cooperate, the Muslim Brotherhood might be able to tap into enough of the anti-Israel and pro-Hamas sentiment to topple the government a second time. But if Egypt remains opposed to Hamas and Israel pushes forward with a plan to demilitarize Gaza, then the goals of those in the great halls of diplomacy who are behind this war will fail.

I'm hoping for this change.

If you think of Obama as a mole for Iran, then everything falls into place. Weaken the U.S, strengthen the Muslim Brotherhood, and voila, the promised transformation is here.

But for Israel.

If you have trouble being paranoid, think about this....and if you have an answer, I would like to hear it.

How does a little known black rabble rouser, given the glorious title of community organizer, decide to run for congress.

And immediately every single record of his past disappears from public access.

Grade school records in Indonesia, birth records in Hawaii, university records in New York, draft records forged....etc.?

You can’t do that with your past and I can’t with mine.

I never heard of anyone in the past who was able to do it.

And this was done simultaneously in jurisdictions thousands of miles apart and in multiple countries.

So the only conclusion I can come to is that there are people or an organization of immense power, who have the ability to make things happen that are beyond those of any person or any government agency with whom we are familiar.

So now be paranoid. I suspect they can make you disappear as well.
Or more practically make the evidence of why you left us impossible to find, as in Benghazi.

“If you have trouble being paranoid, think about this....and if you have an answer, I would like to hear it.”... (and then lists several of Obama’s creepy coverups about himself)...

Bottom Line: I also assess Obama to be a bad actor, with a lot to hide, who lies routinely and extensively - who is dedicated to misleading the public in a very fundamental way.

I just don’t think that things are as finely orchestrated as the author struck me as indicating. There are lots of individuals, organizations and nations with multiple factors effecting each.

When things hit the fan, I assess that Obama will try to support Islamists and the Muslim Brotherhood as much as he thinks that he can get away with, but he (and al Thani from Qatar, and Erdogan from Turkey) has to react to constantly changing circumstances. I just don’t see as grand of a plan being centrally operated in launching this war. In general, I do believe that they are up to no good, and being devious about it.

[old curmudgeon]

I agree with everything you say.

But I still am of the opinion that one man could not hide all of that in multiple jurisdictions and multiple countries,

Certainly not a side walk con man.

Someone or some group is behind him. He may not even know who they are.

Just think about how hard it is for the average person, even one with a good and experienced attorney, to correct a bad credit rating due to identity theft.

Even with police records and a conviction of the guilty....

But this guy can do it everywhere and all at once?

I don’t buy that.

George Soros... A few hundred million buys you a lot...

Soros has twice short sold currencies and made billion from it. As well as being convicted of market fixing in manipulating the currency.

If I were a billionaire with with those resources and rumored backing by the Saudis, how would I set up a trillion dollar short sale of the US Dollar...
