Blindspot 106 - Iran defeats Israel’s Iron Dome, Niger kicks US forces out, DRC & Africa’s WWI Buiteboer // From Bunker 42 www.buiteboer.co.za 16/4/24 Iran defeats Israel’s Iron Dome - Ahmadinejad’s dream coming true (20 years later?) Niger - like the French, Americans now frogmarched out of Africa DRC & Africa’s First World War The hardest part of war is not always the actual acts of fighting and bombing associated with it, but, the narrative wars, wars of interpretation and explication, wars of perspective and expert analysis twisted in favour of this or that power player active in the shooting & killing fields. This is what we are confronting today, narrative wars relating to what actually happened, and the implications of Iran’s strike on Israel. Iran defeats Israel’s Iron Dome Unlike the narrative from the USA, Europe, and Israel that the Iranian counter-attack on Israel was a failure, it seems Scott Ritter, has a totally different view. In fact, he describes it as one of the biggest acts of military demonstration in recent decades. As we have also covered in Blindspot before, Iran’s inclusion in the SCO, and most recently BRICS, signalled a breakthrough for the country and established it as recognised regional power. And now, if we listen to Scott Ritter, it clearly has the technological, and military potential to counter Israeli air defences, and other threats it might want to pose to the Islamic Republic. The Ukraine response - envy While this all went down, the extent to which US, French and UK forces lent a helping hand to Israel in the face of the Iranian attack, left President Zelensky, well, jealous. Basically meaning, why don’t western partners directly deploy their aircraft, and personnel in the defence of Ukraine, like they did for Israel. Like the French, US forces frogmarched out of Niger If anyone still thinks major power rivalry is confined to the ‘big ticket’ conflicts of our era such as Ukraine, Taiwan, or Israel/Gaza, well, then think again. As covered in Blindspot 82, before, the west African countries of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso all, in the course of the past two years, have systematically kicked the French forces, and their diplomats out of their countries. Now, the US forces stationed in Niger are facing the same fate as their French counterparts, with Russian forces, trainers and air defence systems are being deployed to Niger. Still think major power rivalry is not unfolding in the blindspots of contested African countries? Well, think again! Links P de Kock. 2023.

Blindspot 104 The transparency of evil in a new age of terror Buiteboer // From Bunker 42 www.buiteboer.co.za 26/3/24 Terror, terrorism, two words the world has grown accustomed to. Over-used, and under-defined, it is necessary, for a moment to pause at the edge, where this word marks the beginning of an abyss. Terror traces a line in mind sands where meaning shifts, political alignments are set adrift, and meaning is either over-coded, or, completely lost in a sea of foaming non-sense. In this Blindspot we are engaging with more than just recent ‘news events’. We ask what is terror, and what is its relationship to information, in the age of the dictatorship of the digitosphere as Buiteboer explored in Searching for Madness in the Method. In this era of asymmetric warfare, turbulence in global politics, and re-alignment of the global system itself with the appearance of a multipolar world order, it is necessary to pause at the edge, and take stock of the sources of terror afflicting the human condition. The transparency of evil, in this era, is evident in the daily dose of bad news dished up by IDF as it continues its campaign of genocidal state terror. In Moscow, recently, we saw the horrendous head of terror peak out from behind its curtain of secrecy to mow more than one hundred concert goers down.

Blindspot 103 - De-Dollarisation, the USA’s Debt Death Spiral & Putin on the End of the Western ‘Vampire Ball’ Buiteboer // From Bunker 42 www.buiteboer.co.za 19/3/24 in this blindspot we zoom into... - NATO escalation & Ukraine incursions into Russian territory - Transnistria attacked & Russia’s border breached before elections - De-dollarisation & the US Debt Death Spiral - BRICS & the Northern Sea Route through Antarctica We start with a tank story follow-up. While the previous edition focused on tanks burning and getting stuck in the mud in Ukraine, Defenceweb in SA reported on a Olifant main battle tank suffering a, how shall we put it, parking problem while on an exercise in the Northern Cape. www.buiteboer.co.za

Blindspot 102 - NATO tanks meet their maker in Ukraine Meat-Metal Grinder & South African DA asks US for election monitoring for fraud & violence Buiteboer // From Bunker 42 www.buiteboer.co.za 12/3/24 Context of our story on tanks today. Before we get to some clips on this, lets be reminded that around March 2022 Biden said, sending tanks and advanced weapon crews into Ukraine means WWIII. Then by January 2023, well, the announcement was made that indeed, tanks will be sent to Ukraine. Was that a ‘soft’ longer terms declaration of war? NATO donated tanks stuck in Ukraine mud, or mangled by $500 Russian drones. Asia Times reports on how the $10m Abrahams tanks are no match for $500 Russian drones. “Since February 28, the Russians have destroyed three Abrams tanks. The most recent was knocked out on March 4 by an anti-tank missile, probably a Russian Kornet.The first two Abramses were hit by low-cost Russian drones carrying RPG-7 warheads.” By now the number stands at four Asia Times continues: “The Russians say that the Ghoul droneuses a special transmission frequencyand is difficult, if not impossible, to jam.The drone costs around $500, according to its Russian maker in theSverdlovsk region. It is made from plastic and some of its parts are 3-D printed.The cost of an Abrams tank is north of $10 million.” The low-cost drones go under the name Ghoul. They are quadcopters that are battery powered.The Ghoul is a first-person-view (FPV) drone.

Blindspot 101 - German plot to bomb Russian bridge to Crimea & CIA bases in Ukraine exposed - while Dmitri Medvedev reveals re-drawn map Buiteboer // From Bunker 42 www.buiteboer.co.za 4/3/24 In the past 24 hours a Russian naval vessel in the Black Sea was attacked by Ukrainian drone. We kick off on this theme because today we are delving into some blindspots that hide in plain sight. At this stage the world needs more tension and confrontation, friction and fragmentation (frigmentation), as much as Blindspot needs a bullet in the head, or a bunker busting bomb to hit its facilities. Nevertheless, whether you look East, West, North, South, or to the stars, it seems as if at least one of the four horses of the apocalypse is having a grand time sewing seeds of destruction wherever it goes. In the past month news broke of a Russian strike in Ukraine that killed several French, well, what shall one call them? Mercenaries? Following a strike on a building in Kharkiv, 17 January, Russia indicated it had eliminated up to 60 French mercenaries supporting Kiev’s war on Russia. This happened not long before the revelation of senior German officers discussing how to covertly infiltrate, and bomb, among other things, the Russian bridge to Crimea. To make things even more confrontational, the New York Times recently revealed that, indeed, there are CIA bases in Ukraine that lend a helping hand to Ukraine’s NATO war on Russia. Let us look at these stories to shine some light on the extent to which Russia and NATO have been in direct confrontation in Ukraine, as far back as 2014.

Blindspot 100 - Coup d’éTat in the Land of Zep Tepi, or, why the world did not end on 21 December, 2012 Buiteboer // From Bunker 42 www.buiteboer.co.za 24/2/24 What is one supposed to do when you reach a significant milestone? Celebrate, or run down the street screaming blue murder through the pie hole gap in face masquerading as mouth? Is it necessary to get caught in the quagmire of self-referentially slapping yourself on the back while looking back at highlights, or lowlights, of the blindspots excavated in the now, 100, deliveries? Blindspot 100 marks a moment in time where we are going to reflect on what we’ve done so far. Let’s look at some data. Taken from Blindspot 1, to 99, all the deliveries taken together span a grand total of 1377 minutes of play time, translating into about 23 hours. This means, if you were to watch all our deliveries back to back, you’d be able to fill a whole day with our content! In terms of views, all things considered, we can report a total of 20,294 views - translating into an average of about 200 views per upload. In 100 we look at some nightlights and then introduce some reflections on ancient civilisations and... Coup d’éTat in the Land of Zep Tepi - a progress report Volume 1 & 2 Order at www.buiteboer.co.za By: Buiteboer Published by: Partridge Volume 1 - ISBN: 978-1-4828-7561-4 Volume 2 - ISBN: 978-1-4828-7598-0 Summary If you have ever wondered where the human obsession with the apocalypse come from, if you ever wanted to know why the world did not come to an end on 21 December 2012, as prophesied by the Mayan calendar and propagated by paranoid Apocalyptomaniacs, then Coup d’état in the Land of Zep Tepi: a progress report, is for you. But why? A Story Hunter out on a hare brained mission from Juba, capital of the newly independent Republic of Southern Sudan, to Lake Mwitanzige (named - Lake Albert in colonial lingo), stumbles upon a legend somewhere in the depths of Central Africa. This will in due course turn out to be one of the most controversial discoveries to jump from the mists of mythological time into the 21st century. To be precise, on the border between the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Uganda, a legend speaks about the disappearance of a tribe, called Bachwezi, into Lake Mwitanzige. This exposes information concerning goings on in Ancient Egypt, around 1450BC. Story Hunter and Buiteboer’s research reveals that the Bachwezi had fled from Egypt into the depths of Central Africa. They fled from Pharaoh Akhenaten, who had out of the blue imposed a religious singularity on the ancient lands that bore a multiplicity of gods, demigods, and god-like Pharaonic rulers. The publication of this story, in turn, upsets a delicate balance of forces in the realm of the heavens. It speculates that the Bachwezi may have found, in Lake Mwitanzige, a portal by way of which to transmigrate, and take the rebellion against a prophesy of their doom - expressed by the singularity - Akhnaten - off-world. Did they make a quantum leap of faith, like Gilgamesh, the demigod King of Uruk, to post-life outer-planetary realms where the gods reside? After the Uganda discovery the report accounts how, while on a side-journey through Mozambique’s Zambezi valley where the Cahora Bassa dam lies, Stiry Hunter is ambushed by a strange old man. He shows Story Hunter how, in pre-colonial times, the Songo people built a tower to reach heaven. This causes Story Hunter to be catapulted into an off-world realm where it becomes clear that all is not Kosher, Vegan, or even Halaal in the post-life off-worldly realms. Will it turn out that the Bachwezi may in fact have staged an insurgency, or are plotting a coup, in the Land of Zep Tepi? Volume One and Two of Coup d’état in the Land of Zep Tepi - a progress report, exposes, for the first time, how a legend from Central Africa explains the extreme violent obsession humans and their religions have with catastrophes, apocalypses, and the like. Be it said as well, the pages of this report, hastily typed by Buiteboer in the course of one very hot South African summer night, also sheds light on the question as to why the world did not come to an end on 21 December, 2012, as apparently foretold by the Mayan calendar. Did the Bachwezi have a hand in staying the course of the ticking time bomb hidden in the codes of the Mayan calendar? Will we meet RA and Quetzalcoatl at the other end of dawn?

Blindspot 99 - Pipeline Wars: from Nord Stream II bombing to West African Coups & the trans-Sahara gas pipeline Buiteboer // From Bunker 42 www.buiteboer.co.za 14/2/24 How interconnected are conflicts across the planet? In this delivery we look at Nordstream II bombing, as act of war the USA perpetrated against both Germany and Russia. BUT. As promised in no 98 wherein we bemoaned the utter and total lack of any focus on turbulent geopolitics and conflagrations in President Thuma Mina Buffalo’s SONA, this edition will look at what on earth has been happening in West Africa with Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso (and how, via the shady worlds and blindspots, it is connectable to Nordstream II bombing). We will see Cold War 2.0 hard at work, and how Africa is not to become, but is already a hot site of major power positioning and rivalry. And proxy war… rfrFor more background on the topics to be covered in #99, go to Blindspot #82 - France frogmarched out of Africa for more background on the coups, and popular opposition to France, the latter’s eviction from these countries, and support for Russia! But, also look at Blindspot 62 - Dr Strangelove revisited: Africa and a divided world, Monty Python’s lethal joke. By the end we will find the trans Sahara gas pipeline, from Nigeria, transiting through Niger and Algeria as an interesting site of geopolitical struggle as the French have been evicted, and Russian forces and influence are taking root. This means, perhaps the EU will not get alternative sources of gas piped through the Sahara desert now that Putin once again said the CIA had bombed Nordstream II.

Blindspot 98 UN Sec-Gen Warns - World is Entering Age of CHAOS! While Buffalo Man’s SONA 24 = South Africa’s ‘State Of Non-Delivery Address’ Buiteboer // From Bunker 42 www.buiteboer.co.za 9/2/24 Listening to the 2024 SONA (State of Non-Delivery Address) by President Buffalo Sofa-Cash Thuma Mina New Dawn Man, Blindspot was left with the distinct impression that South Africa is an isolated isolated island floating in hyper-space. This is of course brought about by the insular, naval gazing, self-aggrandising habit of the ruling cabal. For anyone listening to SONA expecting to hear about South Africa’s policy position(s) in a world where non-state actors like Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Hamas, together with an axis of resistance led by Iran, is upending the security- and geopolitical power structures of West Asia/Middle East, Eurasia, and Africa. Did we hear anything about how South Africa responds to what the UN Secretary General, also in the last few days, called a world descending into chaos due to rising multilateralism? No, not a word. Did we hear anything about how SA plans to support a South African led military mission in the eastern DRC once the UN peacekeeping force withdraws? Does the country have the logistical support, equipment, soldiers, to fight the vicious M23 rebels and other forces slugging it out in the Congo River basin? No. So, let us then look at the few droplets of spittle he did expend on words to speak about international issues.

Blindspot has gone on to open a channel on TikTok - let's see how our experiment fares out there in the Digital Wild West of shaking behinds and short thought forms....

Blindspot 97 >GazApocalypse<: Welcome to World War All Against All - (Iran) Reloaded! Buiteboer // From Bunker 42 www.buiteboer.co.za 27/1/24 Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland; Who rules the Heartland commands the World-Island; Who rules the World-Island commands the World.” –Sir Halford Mackinder, 1919 We start off at the same point as last week, looking at the bigger picture of Eurasia, Iran, and fundamental changes unfolding in the global system, and in regions. Blindspot 83, aired in the week following the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel. In the heading we placed - >>Gaza<< Welcome to World War All against All - a Syrian perspective. Not long after that, #84 was entitled - Israel to bomb al Aqsa to build 3rd temple of Solomon - a Dugin Prophesy - wherein, among other things we looked into a sombre prophesy of an all-out regional war by the Russian thinker and writer - Aleksandr Dugin. Lets be reminded of what Leo Zagami reported on this prophesy by Dugin as we covered in BS84. In it we predicted that while Israel is bound to launch an Old Testament-inspired apocalyptic response on the heads of unsuspecting Palestinian occupants of Gaza, it will be necessary to watch the regional fall-out carefully. The latter of course in the context of concurrent global, and regional power shifts. Since then we have not only seen the Houthi’s strike out with major global impact. Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon, are also proxy war sites where attacks either target US military installations, or Israeli air strikes target Syria. While Iranian Revolutionary Guard deployments, infrastructure, and allies, are also targeted by a mix of Israeli- and US strikes in especially Iraq and Syria. If the above kinetic war developments in West Asia aka the Middle East is not disconcerting enough, in recent weeks, a number of West European countries, and NATO, either warned their citizens that they have to prepare for an inevitable war with Russia, or, announced such an inevitability together with plans for military build-ups, preparations, conscription, and force positioning. While this war might not break out tomorrow, it is usually pitched within the time horizon of the next three to ten years. Is it then not appropriate to repeat the headline - Welcome to World War All Against All? Seeing that it is a rather vast enterprise to cover all the maddeningly interconnected battlefronts (physical, digital, unmanned/drone, biological, cultural, techno-scientific, to name but a few) of this manifesting war of all against all, we choose to zoom into just a few examples of battlefronts in the here and now, that show, again, we do not have to wait for the referee to blow the starting whistle/trumpet to signal - Okay boys, get set, ready, and off to World War 3, BANG, GO! No, the best we can do now is to track some of its morbid manifestations.

Blindspot 96 - Only Fools Invade Russia - from Viking roots to an integrated Eurasia Buiteboer // From Bunker 42 www.buiteboer.co.za 20/1/24 Who rules East Europe commands the Heartland; Who rules the Heartland commands the World-Island; Who rules the World-Island commands the World.” –Sir Halford Mackinder, 1919 Actually only two articles inspired a whole trainload of thoughts we will try to share in coming minutes. The first …. Aleksei Bolshakov, The big game in the Sahel style… and Martin Armstrong - only a fool invades Russia. I - What on earth is not all happening at the same time? In Blindspot 96, and 97 we aim to take a step back, and look at some intriguing developments at a macro-geopolitical scale. The pace and scale of conflicts emerging, or where decades old festering fights get blown to new proportions of barbarity, eg Gaza, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Libya, to name but a few, seems staggeringly overwhelming. Better to tune out the bad news, but, the real bad news is that inside the bad news horrendously many overt, covert, and weird blindspots can hide. From Africa’s west coast on the Atlantic Ocean, and the beginning of the Sahel, through Niger, Mali, Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Chad, Sudan, and Ethiopia, into the Red Sea towards the Persian Gulf, then northwards to Yemen, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq - and even further north across the Black Sea to Crimea and Ukraine we see one thing, integrated conflicts, escalation and human tragedies unfolding. By looking at some of the details and blindspots hidden in these macro patterns of conflict it becomes evident that the world system is being altered on a daily basis, in front of our eyes. In the same way as a genocide on the people of Palestine is being perpetrated, and broadcast live for the world to see. While the bombs continue to knock out Gaza’s infrastructure, children, water, hospitals, electricity, animals, and entire family lines, parades of lawyers present their points to a panel of judges in a global court with hard to establish jurisdiction, not even to talk about enforceable decisions. links https://journal-neo.su/2024/01/15/the-big-game-in-the-sahel-style-geopolitical-ambitions-of-russia-the-us-and-france-in-the-sahel-region/ Martin Armstrong. 2024.

Blindspot 95 - 2024 From USA to RSA: Militia Mobs & Rigged (S)elections Ahead? In two Parts… Buiteboer // From Bunker 42 www.buiteboer.co.za 9/1/24 In Part 2 we pursue the story of the unravelling of the African National Criminal Party in South Africa, and how, through State Capture, Corruption and Insurrection it is pushing the state towards failure, and state collapse... Democracy is in danger from the state failures, and weak institutions created as direct result of the extent to which the political classes perpetrate state capture for their own corruptly criminal actions. That is what we are exploring in this delivery focused on democratic woes and risks in two examples - the USA, and South Africa. The world’s election calendar is filled to the brim this year. Both of the cases explored here, the USA, and South Africa, have more than mere symbolic significance. The USA, always branded as the world’s best, or such democracy - a model to be emulated by other nations, is evidently struggling to keep the lid on the genie of election rigging that popped out in the 2020 election. South Africa, heralded as a miracle in 1994, and treated as textbook example of how to transition from an authoritarian- to democratic dispensation through negotiation and compromise, has seen its state coffers plundered, and economy brought to its knees via collapsing infrastructure. In the latter case we look at the implosion of the African National Criminal Party.

Blindspot 94 - Global Shipping Disaster - Yemen’s Red Sea War for Palestine Buiteboer // From Bunker 42 www.buiteboer.co.za 29/12/23 The year 2023 closes on several high notes as the catastrophe of ethnic cleansing in Palestine continues unabated by Israel - fully backed by the USA. Yemeni forces equipped with drones, missiles, and numerous other advanced weapons have by now caused significant mayhem in world shipping. But, beyond the X posts and dramatic headlines may hide a much bigger Blindspot shock that will hit the world economy as a result of what is transpiring in one the eight critical global shipping chokepoints off Yemen’s coast! I Let’s open with a few quick facts: Approximately 80% of world trade is carried around the planet via the seas. The Visual Capitalist provides a quick overview of the critical chokepoints in global shipping. Looking at this map, we see eight critical choke points of which four are around the African continent - Cape of Good Hope, Strait of Gibraltar, Suez Canal, and Bab el-Mandeb, then we have the Turkish straits into the Black Sea, Straits of Malacca, and the Panama Canal Any significant disturbance in any of these, impacts directly on the movement of goods around the planet! At least three of the eight global chokepoints are under geopolitical stress - Yemen’s Bab el-Mandeb, Turkish Straits due to fall-out of Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the Panama Canal which is due to drought conditions unable to carry its usual load of vessels passing through.

Speaking in this sense, they are nothing more than non- traditional weapons whose mechanisms have been altered and whose lethal power and destructive capabilities have been magnified several times over.” Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui
(Beijing: PLA Literature and Arts Publishing House, February 1999) In an interview on the book, Qiao, one of the co-authors was quoted as stating that "the first rule of unrestricted warfare is that there are no rules, with nothing forbidden.”

Blindspot 92 How to Loose a War: lesson for US-NATO & Ukraine Buiteboer // From Bunker 42 www.buiteboer.co.za 8/12/23 Odds are that contemporary, and particularly historical texts, tend to lean towards writing the grand victories, the rise to Uber-super power status of a nation or empire. However, while lots of lessons can be learnt from history of the victorious, it is likewise possible to learn from lost wars, and battles in which armies lose their cool to join the ranks of those ridiculed as over-run vanquished wannabees. But, now that the Gazapocalypse is trending beyond what Zelensky can deal with at this stage, Blindspot thought, once again, a war was instigated, supported and funded to the tune of hundreds of billions of US$, only now to be quietly shut down and hushed off the geopolitical stage to make way for the ‘next thing’ / war, being Gaza. Is Ukraine therefore not another lost US/NATO war, where nothing but utter destruction and confusion was achieved as main outcome?

Blindspot 91 - Never Underestimate Russia - says NATO as Ukraine counteroffensive cracks Buiteboer // From Bunker 42 www.buiteboer.co.za 28/11/23 Reuters reports on 14 November, 2023, that if negotiations are to take place between Ukraine and Russia, this will be informed by the military situation on the ground, and whether Ukraine is willing to engage in talks, in the first place. However, in what is not a slip of the tongue or Freudian slip - he is very clearly heard saying - never underestimate Russia. We also cover Scott Ritter's interview with Prof Alexey Podberezkin ... arguing that de-nazification and de-militarisation of Ukraine is yet to be achieved through collapse of the current Zelensky regime... www.buiteboer.co.za

Blindspot 90 - Where WW1 trench war meets 21st century weaponised lenses -> Ukraine Meat Grinder Buiteboer // From Bunker 42 www.buiteboer.co.za 20/11/23 Blindspot 90 paves the way for an exploration of a slow-motion blindspot unfolding across the frontline(s) where UkraiNaTO confronts the land of the RUS- SIAN Federation... It is inspired by an Asia Times Article on how VolodymirZelensky, Ukraine’s president, is at war – with his generals.He has admonishedthe head of the Ukrainian armed services, General ValeryZaluzhny, whotold The Economistmagazine that “just like in the First World War, we have reached the level of technology that puts us into a stalemate.There will most likely be no deep and beautiful breakthrough.” The next set of blindspots will take a deep dive into why exactly there will be no deep and beautiful breakthrough through Rus- Defensive lines... and why there are indeed significant parallels between WW1 and coke-head-Biden-Lackey-Zelensky/NATO war against the land of the RUS... And we go to Buiteboer's book, Searching for Madness in the Method, where he explored the problem of weaponised lenses in drones, phones, homes, missiles, satellites and the like that brings us to this stalemate of the all-seeing eye of war surveilling the goings on in trenches filled with meat bodies in here and now mud-earth... No 91 will continue on this theme... No 90 - is just paving the way... www.buitboer.co.za

Blindspot 89 GazApocalypse: “Secret” US military base (site 512) & Ben Gurion Canal in Israel Exposed Buiteboer // From Bunker 42 www.buiteboer.co.za 14/11/23 There is only one thing r & z have in common - their private homesteads are potential sites of crime. We start off with local South African ridiculousness. The story of President Buffalo Man’s Phala Phala farm cash-in-sofa theft gets even more ridiculous as ‘thieves are charged’ and appear in court, but the Prez has been let off the hook by SARS, SARB; and why is it that ANC presidents’ private homesteads have to be in the news: from Nkandla to Phala Phala? Nevertheless/. Following on our two special Blindspots dedicated to an interview with Prof Ian Liebenberg, on Irreversible changes to ‘World Order,’ Blindspot nosedives towards a few interesting and odd developments that seem to go mostly unnoticed, hence - left hanging in the general blindspot of geopolitics.

Blindspot 86 - War crimes galore as Israeli intelligence recommends depopulation of Gaza Buiteboer // From Bunker 42 www.buiteboer.co.za 1/11/23 Opening It seems as if Israel is fighting its war in Gaza, and on Palestinians like the Americans fought the Vietnam war. Blindspot 86, is to a large extent a continuation of no 83, where, only days following on the October 7, ‘surprise attack’ Hamas launched on Israel from Gaza, Blindspot took the angle of warning - to watch Syria. Antiwar.com Since then, the regional fall-out, and entrenchment of positions, and drawing of thick red lines in the desert sands have continued. But, this delivery also builds on what we covered in No 84, where we covered a prophesy by Alexander Dugin, and outlined why the destruction of the Al Aqsa mosque, is a major issue hidden in the plain sight of total war unleashed on not just Gaza, but the region, by Israel. Today we delve into a few stories, all further emphasising the fact that planet earth, and us humans are at a tipping point. Perhaps the great apocalypse is upon us, but, remember, that what we call apocalypse is the ‘lifting of the veil’. Perhaps the veil is being lifted on who the real perpetrators of war crimes, mass extermination are. I - Hypocrisy at work? When South Africa was preparing to host the BRICS summit earlier this year, a huge controversy surrounded the possible in-person attendance of the event, by President Vladmir Putin. At the time it was said that due to charges laid against him at the ICC, South Africa, a signatory to the Rome Statute, would be obliged to arrest him if he sets foot in the country. However, at the time Blindspot 65 referenced the work of The Grayzone, which clearly showed that the so-called charges against President Putin were based on bogus intelligence provided by the US State Department, and CIA. Great work done by Grayzone to expose these lies. So, while Putin is being called a war criminal, based on bogus charges, how is it possible that the ICC and others on the moral high ground of the Rules Based International Order, in the face of whole Gaza neighbourhoods being carpet bombed by the IDF, children being killed and hospitals being destroyed, can stay mum on the apparent warcrimes being committed by Netanyahu and the far right wing Zionists fomenting the biblical extermination of Palestinians in Gaza?

Blindspot 85 - Olympics embroiled in the west’s (culture war) on Russia: Monty Python upperclass Twit of the Year sport prize goes to - The International Olympic Circus Committee Buiteboer // From Bunker 42 www.buiteboer.co.za 26/10/23 Opening In this delivery - we want to prove to you that the rostrum, at the Olympic Games, has been turned into a site of culture war in the larger woke western total war/unrestricted war, against the Russian Federation. Blindspot will not only cover this, but, we also propose some radical alterations to the types of sport codes allowed into the hallowed halls of the Olympics - drawn from Monty Python. The latter will help cement the IOC and the olympics as a rather expensive and overdone global circus. This means the IOC is henceforth the International Olympic Circus due to it weaponising sport and expelling the Russian Olympic Committee. As we go through this story we will intersperse proposed new sport codes to circus olympics as conceptualised by Monty Python... Links Associated Press. 2023.

Blindspot 84 - Will Israel Bomb al-Aqsa Mosque to Build 3rd Temple of Solomon? & Russia’s Alexander Dugin delivers Middle East Prophesy (prospective analysis) Buiteboer // From Bunker 42 www.buiteboer.co.za 18/10/23 Intro Can a red cow herald the end of the world? … On Friday the 13th Alexander Dugin posted what could either be considered a prophesy, or a prospective analysis - depending which way you look at it. While we try to wrap our heads around Israeli bombings of schools, hospitals, residential neighbourhoods following on the Hamas ‘surprise attack’ - the roots of the conflict, and how it is anchored not only in flitting political opinion, but, existential realities anchored faiths and their respective prophesies regarding the ‘end times’. So, what do we want to cover today? Alexander Dugin’s Friday the 13th prospective analysis of what may come to pass if the Hamas-Israel conflict is to escalate further We look at what Leo Zagami has to say about it, as well as the interesting choice of date, Friday the 13th, which Leo Zagami notes on this prophesy - “Interesting also how Alexander Dugin made his prophetic tweet on Friday October the 13th, the very same day that saw in 1307 the end of the Knights Templar, who used to have a fortress in Gaza where they controlled the surrounding region.” What does this tell us about the broader alignment of forces shaping in the stark light of day. ... Dugin's Friday 13th message/prophesy/prospective analysis: Let us try to describe one of the possible scenarios of further escalation in the Middle East. The Palestinian uprising begins in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Mahmoud Abbas cannot contain the situation, and seeing Israel carrying out a full-blown genocide in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinians launch an all-out revolt. The IDF continues to massacre civilians in the Gaza Strip. There are growing protests around the world against Western pro-American liberal elites standing unanimously in favor of Israel. Hezbollah gets involved and crowds of Arabs from Jordan break through the cordons at the border. The U.S. launches preemptive strikes against Iran, which is increasingly involved in the conflict, and Iran strikes back against Israel. Syria enters the war, attacking the Golan Heights. There is a rapid mobilization of the entire Islamic world. Pro-American Islamic states - Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar etc. - are being forced to join the confrontation on the side of the Palestinians. They are joined by Pakistan, Turkey and Indonesia. The story of the Taliban sending troops to the Middle East from fake news becomes reality. The black banners of Khorassan are hoisted over the world. Problems between Salafists and traditionalists, including Shiites, fade into the background. The great jihad of the Islamic world against the West and Israel is beginning. Russia takes first a neutral position, but does not rush to support Israel, as it is at war in Ukraine with the West, which in turn is completely on Israel's side. At some point in the uprising in East Jerusalem, Palestinians proclaim the need to cordon off the Al-Aqsa Mosque for protection from the IDF. Al-Aqsa Mosque was mentionned in the beginning of the uprising in the Gaza Strip -- Al-Aqsa Flood. Israel, in the course of fighting armed Palestinian militias and in self-defense, launches a rocket attack on the mosque. It collapses. The path to building the Third Temple is cleared. But... a billion Muslims, of whom 50 million (officially) are in Europe, start an uprising now in the West itself. Civil war erupts in Europe. Some Europeans are on the side of LGBT, Soros and Atlanticist elites, and some make an alliance with Muslims (on the model of Alain Soral) and join the anti-liberal Revolution. The US uses tactical nuclear weapons against Iran. Russia launches a tactical nuclear strike against Ukraine, which seeks to cling to the West at any cost and provokes Moscow in every possible way. World War III erupts with the use of tactical nuclear weapons. Russia finally makes up its mind and sides with the Muslims. American dispensationalists realize that the hour has come. Russia is attacking -- albeit indirectly -- Israel. Gog is here. In the Russian vision, the West is under direct rule of Antichrist. Many world leaders die, new one with far more radical beliefs appear. China attacks Taiwan, distracting the U.S. and NATO to a new target. India refrains from the direct support the US is counting on. The evening of history ceases to be languid. Feminists, gay activists and environmentalists demand an end to it all, but no one listens to them. The West is forced to fight against everyone in the name of some goal it can no longer articulate - all the old theses about “human rights”, “civil society” and other incantations have disappeared in the harsh reality of the coming total death. Elon Musk admits that he has completely stopped understanding what is happening. Israel is beginning, under blows from all sides, to build the Third Temple. Only Moshiach can save the situation… This is where the text of the predictive analysis (prophecy) abruptly ends. ... Links Crowhouse/Max Igan. 2023.
