Waiting for 2024
Every new year's eve for years now has had the spectre of some craziness occurring, usually at the
NYC bash
but potentially in other places. Less tension of course during the Trump administration but it was always there. Some of course was just the
talking heads and the various self-important officials and pundits getting some face time but the possibility is always there.
One would think that the
likely perpetrators would lay off for a while as terrorist incident can not
help the regime and can only increase the probability of Trump being elected again. But those conducting the
Israeli attack of 7 October are certainly off their rockers. That the masterminds
would use the dregs of the Jihad is not surprising - what is left that isn't bottom of the barrel? - but if the insanely evil nature was intended then I would suspect that the planners
were even more deranged than usual. This may end with Hamas - and maybe Gaza - nearly depopulated. Depending on events elsewhere of course.
Still the reaction of the U.S. regime was politically suicidal, trying to split the baby and appease Jewish supporters while sparing Hamas as much retribution
as possible. Which suggests that maybe someone somewhere did something unapproved by the big boss. Or maybe.... nah, not gonna say it.
Wouldn't be prudent at this juncture.
One high-probability event would be some sort of false flag incident by the regime to distract from a muslim attack. The
guys in khakis and polo shirts
doing something or other. Normally those guys just show up and walk around getting on the news video. An actual bombing or shooting or whatever
might be a little hard to pull off. Maybe put some of those out there for file footage and then some bombs going off and the perpetrators never found.
Roll the fake white supremacist reel while describing the explosions and casualties. Yeah, that't the ticket.
What then do we make of the
Chicom leader's recent comments? One possibility
is that China will take Taiwan next year before a reformer president can be elected. Or he could be just having some fun poking the decrepit lion. Of course taking Taiwan
next year could guarantee a Trump victory, but maybe they think it's worth it to get it of the way since once taken it's gone and no getting it back. Kinda scary that the latter might
be the case.
