File under: Hezbollah

#1 It's nice to finally see some validation of what I thought was a serious misunderstanding and misjudgment of the Israeli war against Southern Lebanon. At the time I said that it would take nearly a year for the full effect to begin to be felt.

Israel's campaign was strategic, not tactical. It devastated the Shiite economy and Hezbollah's infrastructure.

#2 I don't think the current government of Israel had a master plan. I don't think it really takes much to cripple the economy of an area overun by jihadi thugs. Inviting the Manson family to the neighborhood would be a serious improvement over Iranian backed Islamokooks.

#3 Muslims deserve Islam. The destructive self-reinforcing negative feedback loop of victim mentality losers who idolize strongman leadership would be hilarious if it didn't get so many of us outsiders killed.

#5 I saw recent pictures of Bint Jubeil, in Hizhbolland. The IAF/IDF flattened it. Hardly anything is rebuilt. The Iranians handed out $12,000 packages to ANYONE who claimed to have suffered home loss. Locals took the money and ran, while Iran refused similar aid to south Beirut.

Israel didn't publicize its tactics during the intervention, because they knew that the enemy would deny it. What they did was inflict near total destruction of built up centers in Shiite Beirut and south Lebanon. The IDF didn't do the house to house fighting that US troops are carrying out in Baghdad. They just destroyed everything. Good idea.

Hizbollah supporters run a "Bint Jubeil Center" in Detroit. Many refugees from IDF justice ended up there. Many US citizens who fought for Hizbollah, returned there as if the US is a subsidizer of terror. Next time: no more $100 million dollar evacuations. Anyone in Lebanon can stay there.

#10 "All of our leaders are liars" > IOW, NOT DIVINE BUT HUMAN-BASED = POLITICAL.
*2012 > great earthquake felt throughout the world.
* Large comet(s) slamming into the earth.
* explosions and cracks on the Moon circa 2029-2030.

These and other ESCALATORY events in space + earth are truly the "Divine". Only God can utterly destroy the sphere of a planet while allowing life + humanity to survive = taking the same and restoring it to its former selfs or greater. POST-GABRIEL'S SWORD > GLOBAL DIASPORAS > GLOBAL, NEW, "WANDERING JEW" composed of all peoples and races until it is proven to God of worthiness of restoration, instead of final total destruction-obliteration from existence or reality. BIBLE CODE > "IT SHALL BE CRUMBLED". The Bible Code, etal. + Histoire Channel, etal. weren't around in the 1960's or 1970's. Remember now, RADICAL MULLAHS > OIL CATACLYSM = NEW GLOBAL AGE OF BARBARISM, CHAOS + CONQUEST, ETC. = NEW DARK AGES = ISLAM IS THE LIGHT THAT RULES THE FUTURE WORLD.
