The United States is in the process of creating a new embassy in Lebanon that is far larger than any government facility in the nation. In fact, the 19 building, 43-acre compound is 2.5X larger than the White House and accompanying land and 10X the size of Nine Elms in London. The only larger embassy is the one the US built in Iraq. “The Land of Plenty,” as the structure will be called, will cost US taxpayers an estimated $1.2 billion. Why does the US government need a mega compound in Lebanon?
It is all about Israel. The site in Awkar, Lebanon, is 10 miles from the center of Beirut and overlooks the Mediterranean Sea. More importantly, the compound is only 60 miles from Israel. The US State Department declared that the “primary purpose” would be to “assist American citizens” within a host country. There are only 86,000 US citizens in Lebanon. The purpose of this structure is to protect Israel and American interests in the Middle East.

This is not a partisan issue, as Obama initially approved building a colossal embassy in Lebanon, and the ground broke for this massive structure in 2017 after Trump began his first term. Everyone in the US government is eager to protect its vassal state. “Breaking ground today on our New Embassy Compound is a strong message to the Lebanese people that we are with you for the long term. We intend to continue the spirit of cooperation and partnership that has defined our journey together for 200 years,” Ambassador Elizabeth Richard said. Sorry, but America has turned a blind eye to Lebanon’s problems in recent years and would not shell out $1 billion if the invisible hand was not at play.
Hezbollah is aggressively present near the two largest US embassies. The 1983 marine barracks bombing in Beirut claimed 241 American soldiers and has not been forgotten. Iranian forces bombed the US embassy again that same year, claiming another 17 American lives. This structure stands as a reminder that the West still controls the Middle East.
The embassy includes airports, entertainment venues, consulate buildings and residential units. Former British Ambassador to Uzbekistan Craig Murray said that this is “not an embassy, but something 50 times bigger.” Murray has attempted to speak out on government human rights abuses abroad. He just so happened to have a pulmonary embolism days after he refused to leave his post in 2004. Murray survived and continues to speak out, though few will publish his work since he is extremely critical of the Israeli government.
“The Land of Plenty” is far too massive to operate as a simple embassy. It appears to be more akin to a small city, or military base for that matter. B.L. Harbert of Birmingham, Alabama, was awarded this lucrative contract and the press release notes that they are incorporating a Marine Security Guard Residence. Those living within the compound will likely not leave the compound.
Edward Snowden claimed in his book, “Permanent Record,” that these buildings actually serve as a platform for espionage.
“‘The worst-kept secret in modern diplomacy is that the primary function of an embassy nowadays is to serve as a platform for espionage. Sure, embassies do still send the occasional demarche and help support their citizens abroad, and then there are the consular sections that issue visas and renew passports. But what justifies the expense is the ability for a country to use the cover of its foreign service to conduct and legitimize its spying,” Snowden wrote.
“The Land of Plenty” will operate as a key intelligence hub for the US in the Middle East. Syrians, Iranians, and the Saudis can all safely travel through Lebanon at the moment. America is not so concerned about spying on Lebanon as they can do that through Israel. It is no coincidence that America chose Lebanon at the height of its economic downfall when the nation desperately needed this investment. America’s commitment to protecting Israel has always been at the forefront. As Biden said, “If there were not an Israel, America would have to invent one.”

The US can use Zoom to have ambassadors communicate with foreign governments.
As for visas, these might be issued in the secure areas of airports.
Sounds to me like it’s intended to be a small residential area for the embassy workers. Perhaps better security than trying to live in a home off campus.
Business as usual. Spend spend spend. Debt clock is at $37, 218,000,000
I run the ArmstrongEconomics scam site.
The worth of my advice can be measured by my three bankruptcies and losing over $700,000,000 of my clients' funds in bad trades.
That failed ponzi scheme got me eleven years in the federal pen.

Spookery is the primary modus operandi in the NWO.
A couple of things come to mind. One, don’t let Hillary Clinton anywhere near the military base,,,er, embassy.
Two, have to wonder what future democrat president will give the base away?
I have no problem with this at all. Only the Hezbollah terrorists [Iran and Russia] have a problem with this, because it will hinder their own agendas, which are definitely not altruistic.
If there wasn’t Hezbollah there wouldn’t be a need for it. Iran, with Soviet and later Russian backing, destroyed Lebanon and killed masses of people, and it is long past the time to start doing something about it. If this helps restore Lebanon and stabilize things, it will be to the benefit of peaceful people everywhere, including Americans.
Spookery has been a fact of life throughout history, a part of all diplomacy- there is nothing new about it.
Pretending that it isn’t, and not playing the game, only guarantees and invites disaster.
In some circles, The Jesuits have long been associated with spying/intelligence.

The Jesuit Myth: Conspiracy Theory and Politics in Nineteenth Century France
Chapter 7 Jesuits in Plain Clothes
Abstract
This chapter discusses the prevailing fear of the assumed powerfulness of the Jesuit members whose identity did not arouse mistrust or draw attention. It focuses on the Jesuits who donned plain and ordinary clothes in exchange of their much-hated soutanes and cassocks. The Secret Jesuits whose membership of, or intimate connection with, the Society of Jesus was concealed beneath the external appearance of ordinary members of the laity created anti-Jesuit speculations. Their concealed identity created a great deal of mystery, some of which stemmed from the secrecy of their activities and some from the anti-Jesuits' uncertainty and disagreement over what exactly the affiliation of the Jesuits consisted of. These various confusions of anti-Jesuit views arose from the entanglement and overlapping of two mythologies; the first relating to the lay organization and the second to the so-called jésuites de robe courte.
The world is a dangerous, treacherous and an opaque, at best, place.
If the US is not involved in espionage (your spookery), you can bet every other country & faction of consequence is.
We just have to be assured they are looking at enemies foreign & domestic, rather than at us plebes for domestic political gain. The best way to assure we have more or less honest ‘spooks’ is to do our best to elect more or less honest politicians. No small task, I agree.
Trump is on this. Too bad he can’t live and reign forever.
the primary function of an embassy nowadays is to serve as a platform for espionage.

I can attest to that. However, just about every National knows this. US Embassies and especially their ACS ( American Services) visitors are photographed, tracked and hacked by nations.
