A Week to Remember

13 105
22.09.2024

Some weeks there’s not much of great importance. Others, like this week, there is almost too much to absorb, but in my view the key items are the destruction of the terrorist Hezb’allah organization, the vacuity of Kamala Harris and the media’s great efforts to glide her into office while hiding her agenda, the pernicious ruling class and why they have forfeited our trust, and lastly, the pending scandal which ties celebrities and key Democrats to sex trafficking and racketeering.

Destruction of Hezb’allah

Almost four decades since Hezb’allah killed hundreds of Americans in the bombing of our barracks in Lebanon, the perpetrators finally received justice, though not at our hands. (The U.S. just offered bounties and did nothing to capture the perpetrators. France under Macron was worse. Though it, too, lost significant troops in the Beirut bombing, Macron was critical of Israel, which is understandably believed to be the force behind the destruction of Hezb’allah.) The figures of the eliminated and disabled fighters keep changing but the best intelligence is that since Monday Hezb’allah has lost at least 60 officers and fighters and one of its senior leaders. Five hundred Hezb’allah terrorists have been eliminated, with 12% of those sustained this week alone. Many more have been seriously injured and are certainly out of commission. Most injuries and fatalities were occasioned by exploding hand-held devices, a few more by precision bombings by the IDF.

We may never know exactly how, when, or where the devices were manipulated to explode, but it is the most ingenious, audacious event in military history.

When Hezb’allah learned their cellphones were compromised, they bought 5,000 pagers and instructed their people to use them; when the pagers simultaneously exploded, they instructed their people to use walkie-talkies; and when those exploded, they had to meet in person where they were eliminated in a precision bombing.

The short take by the inestimable Iowahawk (David Burge) says it best:

Hezbollah: USE PAGERS INSTEAD OF CELL PHONES *beep beep BOOM*

Hezb: I MEAN WALKIE TALKIES *beep beep BOOM*

Hezb: ok emergency meeting at the WeWork until we figure this out *BOOM BOOM BOOM*

There’s some mewling by the usuals about danger to civilians, Hussain abdul-Hussain, a Lebanese analyst at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy, pooh poohs that:

Non-combatant civilians in #Lebanon do not use pagers. Non-combatant civilians in Lebanon do not use walkie-talkies. Non-combatant civilians in Lebanon are like all normal people on the planet: They use commercial smartphones (mostly Samsung because it's cheaper than iPhone). Only Hezbollah's military-aged males use pagers and walkie-talkies, all that are connected to an exclusive (and they thought secure) Hezbollah network. Two Hezbollah members of Lebanese Parliament had neither pagers nor walkie talkies issued to them. Their sons, two fighters with Hezbollah, had pagers on them and died. The fathers are still alive (even though they are Hezbollah, but........
