Patton on "Hitting the dirt"

“Frequently in fighting Germans… we will find that they have resort to their knowledge of our custom of hitting the dirt. What they do is wait until we have arrived at a predetermined spot on which they have ranged rockets, mortars, or artillery, and then they put on a sudden and violent machine gun fire – frequently straight up in the air. The soldier, obsessed with the idea of hitting the dirt, lies down and waits supinely for the arrival of shells... The only time it is proper to drop is when he is caught at short-range – under 300 yards by concentrated small arms fire. But even then he must not hit the dirt and stay supine. He must shoot fast at the enemy, or in the direction of the enemy… When soldiers are caught in a barrage, either from mortars, rockets, or artillery, the surest way to get out of it is to go forward fast, because it is almost the invariable practice of the enemy to increase rather than decrease his range."

Israel wants 1.1 million Gazans to move in next 24 hours, says UN

Half of Gaza’s population has been told to flee south before possible Israeli ground offensive

"More than a million civilians in northern Gaza have been told to flee “for your own safety” ahead of a possible ground offensive by Israeli troops.

The United Nations said it has been told by the Israeli military that 1.1 million people, around half of the Gaza Strip’s population, are advised to flee south in the next 24 hours.

The warning, which includes people in Gaza City, has left aid workers and civilians confused and in a panic, one refugee officer said.

Israel is expected to launch a ground offensive aiming to eradicate the Hamas militant group after it stormed through the border on Saturday.

Good morning 🙏

Those living in New Zealand must be severely pissed off now finding out that the New Zealand Ministry of Health granted vaccine exemptions covering approximately 11,005 workers including its key staff, whilst hypocritically insisting that the public be vaccinated.

David Icke’s opinion on the Israel attack…

https://news.1rj.ru/str/LauraAbolichannel

“Netanyahu is finished": Seymour Hersh wrote an article about how Israel will not storm the Gaza Strip, but will begin to suffocate it in a blockade "like the Germans in Leningrad".

"It is unlikely that Israel's armed forces, after years of performing "security" duties in the West Bank, will be able to withstand heavy fighting in the dense urbanisation of Gaza's two million inhabitants.

As for a ground assault, an insider tells me that a brutal alternative is being considered. It could be described as the "Leningrad approach", referring to the attempts by the Germans during the Second World War to starve the city now known as St Petersburg.

The option under consideration, an Israeli insider told me, is to continue to isolate Gaza City in terms of electricity, food and other essentials.
Gaza's ruling Hamas has two to three days' supply of purified drinking water and is already facing food shortages. At some point, Israel may negotiate the release of some prisoners - women and children - in exchange for food and water.

According to the source, a veteran of Israeli security, Netanyahu will have to go once the conflict with Hamas is over. Netanyahu is finished. He is a dead man walking. He will stay in his post until the shooting stops, maybe for another month or two".

If there is one thing that 9/11 and the Covid19 vaccines should have taught us, it's that the psychopathic oligarchy will either cause or allow highly visual massacres to occur in order to perpetrate their psychopathic agenda for control, destruction, war, and ultimately for depopulation. Psychopaths like to kill. See "American Psycho" by Brett Easton Ellis for a good portrayal.

Wikileaks cable: Israeli intelligence chief encouraged Hamas takeover of Gaza Strip | - IMEMC News

"In the trannoscript, Yadlin told the US Ambassador that he would be “very happy” if Hamas formed a government in Gaza “as long as they have no (air or sea) port.” He added that Israel would then work with the rival Palestinian political party, Fateh, to form a government in the West Bank and work to undermine the Hamas government in Gaza."

"The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation."

Agreement Incapable

Iran discovers why neither Russia nor China are interested in talking substantively to the USA or making any deals with it anymore. Washington has gone back on its promise to unblock $6 billion in frozen Iranian assets even after Tehran released five American citizens accused of espionage against the Islamic Republic.

Who DIDN'T have "Eyepatch McCain wants to embroil us in war" on their bingo card?

Proportion of various groups within particular IQ bins from 2023 SAT scores.

Y’all remember the Ghost of Kyiv?
When the Internet circulated unverified reports of a legendary pilot that was taking out ridiculous numbers of Russian aircraft… Turned out it was 100% fabricated.

Remember Snake Island?
When we were told 90 Ukrainian forces heroically refused to surrender and they were slaughtered... Turned out Russia took all of them alive, and they all surrendered willingly.

Remember when the media were using old photos and video from Syria and footage from video game simulators?

My point is that war propaganda is real, and Western media have been producing it in Ukraine and for decades before that.

As it pertains to Israel/Palestine; we don’t know what reports are real, what is being exaggerated, or who is behind what. But history would suggest that everything the official narrative says now will end up being vastly different later on.

I wish we didn’t have to think like this... Needless to say, there is a lot of disinformation out there. Stay frosty.

Can you smell that? That is the smell of Fresh Prince. It’s the smell of a Padron 1926 and it’s all mine!

Right now someone is writing a movie noscript featuring a rural white Trump voter, a black man and a transexual in the US Army together and cathartically realising they’re all Americans who love freedom and hate Islamo-Fascism.

“The Stripes of Liberty” Oscar Winner 2025 - Morgoth

❗️🇺🇸👉🇷🇺🇨🇳 Russia and China may turn out to be the only winners in the Palestinian-Israeli war, says Bloomberg.

The conflict in the Middle East will not only hit the West's power and authority, but will also drain its already scarce resources on Ukraine, the article reports.

According to the publication, the West's rash actions and hypocrisy are playing into the hands of Russia and China.

Biden will have to abandon attempts to counter China's growing influence in the region, and the West's double standards will come under international scrutiny.
