Instead of analyzing how the world’s supreme intelligence agencies and superpowers missed HAMAS’ attack on Israel, the media is sensationalizing its actuality. That’s the scary part, its not a miss, it’s a deliberate act of weaponization by the Biden administration of our national security apparatus.
The intelligence community, like our national command authority is directed by one thing, the Commander-in-Chief. Whether you grow its size is a red herring, when you reorient thousands of career individuals trained to detect prospects of war, you have less personnel and capacity detecting the threat environment. Its simple; there is only so much money, machines, and manning to direct against our enemies.
I know first hand during the Trump administration, our national intelligence priorities were foreign terrorist organizations, and defeating a nuclear Iran. We had specific cells and groups within the IC dedicated against groups like HAMAS and Iran, they were top tier priorities. President Trump made this mission simple, defeating our enemies will always be the top priority in his national defense arsenal. We used all options, overt and covert.
The National Intelligence Priorities Framework (NIPF), is the bulwark of our national security efforts. What is the NIPF? Simply defined, amongst a multi-tier threat analysis, each White House is charged with the duty of prioritizing the greatest threats to the United States and our allies. In the Trump administration, this was simple, AQ, ISIS, and foreign terrorist organizations were all top priorities. Each year the White House creates a new rack and stack within the NIPF, for example during Biden’s first year, climate change was the top priority. Don’t believe me, his DoD’s first CONOP (concept of operations, the mandate that moves the DoD’s rudder) was on climate change. Not terrorists, not the CCP, not Iran, and not the cartels (like we did during Trump’s term), but the weather. There’s your critical intelligence failure driven by Biden’s desire to weaponize intelligence for political narrative purposes. And it was intentional. That’s the difference between Trump and Biden. Now the world sees what happens when you do not.
Immediately after the Biden administration just weeks ago provided Iran with $6billion of funding, the fake news declared this an overarching win because they carried the false narrative that this was a victory for global security. The day after Iran received this stack of cash, they kicked out every single UN inspector that guarded against their production of nuclear weapons grade material.

Excellent article by Mr. Patel. Is our only hope of survival re-electing Trump? His being sworn in is a LONG way away.
The sheeple will never be told the story that Mr. Patel is telling. In fact, the sheeple will be told that somehow, through weird twisting of reality, Trump CAUSED this.
Needless to say, this would be a perfect time for China to invade Taiwan. What would potatohead do about it?
THEY ARE CAUSING IT!
Too busy investigating Trump, Republicans,and conservative parents!
Nothing… curious dontcha think?
China is going to need a major distraction for the Chinese people pretty soon because the CCP is in big trouble. Their economy faces a real estate implosion that makes our 2008 crisis look like chump change and it extends even further than ours did throughout their economy.
The US was able to print their way out of the mess in 2008 transferring the pain to the future (to save the banksters on Wall Street). The average Chinese citizen is beginning to realize that their IRA/retirement savings (mostly real estate in China) just got wiped out and to make matters worse, many of the homes/apts they purchased are not only unoccupied (or not built) but they are falling apart from craptasticly corrupt construction.
I don’t know that it will be Taiwan and an actual invasion. That is a far riskier proposition than most in the West believe it to be, but desperate people do desperate things and you can only prop an economic lie up for so long before the note comes due (we are going to find that out too). They will wag the dog soon for something.
>Miss it? The hands up Puppet Joe’s arse working his mouth initiated it.
True; and perhaps a familiar tune to the alphabet agencies.
Comment appropriate but where in the world is it more peaceful now than 2.5 years ago
Maybe I am wrong, but I assume that our best intel about Israel, Gaza, and Hamas comes from Israel and some American Jews with close ties thereto.
That moves the question to: How did Israeli intelligence miss this so badly? 50th Anniverary of the Yom Kippur War. A Jewish holiday period. God help us all if our IC hasn’t figured out that Muslims “commemorate” significant dates via new atrocities.
So the next question is: Did Israel really miss the signs or did some faction let it happen for other reasons? If so, what were the reasons and who did it? There are always factions who want to discredit those in power, or derail peace with other States like KSA, or a reason to annex more land, etc. Maybe none of that applies and I expect greater competence out of the Israeli IDF and IC than exists at present.
I swear it has to be so very, very tempting to the Chicoms.
>>”I don’t know that it will be Taiwan and an actual invasion. That is a far riskier proposition than most in the West believe it to be...>
Maybe it will be a blockade. Even that presents its challenges, but it may eliminate some of the risks of an invasion and still produce the desired outcome.
By God, Biden should be on the horn to the CIA demanding an explanation for the intelligence screw-up. Hopefully, Trump is taking names and will act to clean out the feckless CIA leadership. Hell, maybe he could do to Langley what the Israelis are doing to Gaza.
“Biden should be on the horn to the CIA demanding an explanation for the intelligence screw-up.”
It’s not a screw-up. And the CIA, Biden, etc., love it when a plan comes together.
Miss it? Biden has been escalating things that make it more likely.
Here’s a thought, just a thought. But if we’re drawn into war by Biden, either in the Middle East or with China (or both) and we start seeing terrorist attacks on U.S. soil, Biden may not have the political capital to survive. In such a scenario, Trump being brought in to solve things by electing him Speaker and impeaching Biden and Harris, may not be as far-fetched as it would have seemed just a week ago.
Bigger nukes would cost more unless they got friendly with china or putin. Did they? You betcha!
So what is all this crap about keeping Iran from getting something they 99% already have.?!!
Truth is neither cia nor mossad missed anything at all. They likely were told what to do by their masters. The deepest state of all.
Stopped reading right there. Elaboration not needed (at least shouldn't be).
Israel AND the US both knew this was coming.
Compartmentalized, obviously, but still knew. The alternative is so remote as to be nearly impossible. Laughable, in fact.
