Guest Post by Kit Knightly
It’s been a busy week for things not happening.
On Sunday, we were treated to a “terrorist bomb plot” that didn’t actually happen. In the US, the media is in full witch-hunt mode over an alleged gang-rape that, increasingly, looks like it didn’t happen.
And just yesterday, there was an “attempted hijacking”…that probably didn’t happen.
That’s the golden rule for big media stories:
1. It probably didn’t happen.
2. If it did happen, it didn’t happen the way they say it happened.
The story of the attempted hijacking is quite fascinating, not least because it took so long for anyone to officially declare what actually happened.
First it was an accident, then a fist fight between the pilots (whose nationality kept changing), and then it was an attempted hijacking by the co-pilot, bravely prevented when the passengers stormed the cockpit.
Now, I was under the impression you couldn’t “storm” a cockpit on most jet airliners these days, and hadn’t been able to basically since 9/11, but apparently I was wrong…you can just kick those doors in when you need to.
Or maybe the hero pilot opened the door after being stabbed with a knife and/or hit with an axe. Nobody is quite sure yet.
One of the “heroes”, an Israeli plumber who supposedly flew the plane to prevent it crashing, sat down with Bibi for a chat yesterday, still in his blood-stained clothes, as you do:
When all is said in done the whole story is either a lie, a false flag, or a mixture of both. It’s not especially interesting to me.
What’s interesting to me is this headline, from the Independent:
Huh. They’re blaming – or at least sort-of, potentially blaming – Benjamin Netanyahu.
This is interesting for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, because it shows the media does actually understand the basic idea of cui bono – who benefits? – and all the rest of the time they simply pretend not to.
But secondly, and most importantly, because the press NEVER blames Israel – or Israeli politicians – for false flags, not even ones they clearly and obviously did. Now, of course this Independent article doesn’t go so far as to actually call it a false flag and directly blame Netanyahu, but even the vaguest of implications is possibly worth noting.
With the Israeli election looming – and his political opponents already condemning his “exploiting” of the hijacking story – this is yet another sign that Bibi might not be long for this political world.
(Oh, but now, in the hour since I started writing this, they have changed that headline. It now reads “How the FlyDubai hijacking could help Netanyahu stay in power”. Somewhat softening the original implication, which may also be significant.)
Last month, we covered how Israel was apparently becoming increasingly “isolated” on the world stage, and that Bibi maybe on the way out. Things have not improved for him since then.
In other negative Netanyahu news, Haaretz is reporting that he tried to cover up the fact he received warnings from the UAE prior to October 7th, and “pressured” UAE leaders to lie for him in a “secret visit”.
He was “pressed” on violence in the occupied West Bank by CNN reporters during an interview a couple of days ago.
In a different interview, this time with Fox, he claimed that Israel warned the British government about “Iran-backed” terror plots prior to the RAF Fairford “incident”. But given the farcical nature of that rapidly unravelling narrative, it would seem unwise to associate oneself with it.
A short video of Netanyahu claiming Israel can hack every smart phone to plant information that “makes you look like a monster” is suddenly all over social media. This is a clip from an interview that’s six months old…so why is it now going viral?
All in all, it’s not looking great for Bibi right now.
Whether or not he himself is a willing participant in this I couldn’t say. Is he taking a dive? Or does he think he can rely on media glazing and fake terror attacks to save his career, as they have done so many times before?
Who knows, maybe it still can.
