The auto-destruction of capitalism is what capitalism is. \u201cCreative destruction\u201d is the whole of it.

The veneration of venture capitalism as a revolutionary force appeals greatly to transnational capitalist oligarchs who view nation-states as squares on a grand chessboard.<\/p>\n<p>Praxian accelerationism manifests through the use of \u201cseed accelerators,\u201d often called\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/rlFCM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">startup accelerators<\/a>, which differ somewhat from startup incubators. Startup accelerators provide short bursts of startup venture capital for new ventures, often incorporating mentorship, network support, and training<em>\u2014<\/em>usually in exchange for a sizeable equity share of the startup. Incubators are longer term investments, commonly demanding less equity from the startup. By focusing their startup accelerators on fledgling companies that specialise in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/GfEQQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">disruptive technology<\/a>, the Praxians seek to abruptly and irrevocably change<em>\u2014<\/em>and thereby guide and control<em>\u2014technological development,<\/em>\u00a0resource distribution, manufacturing processes, financial and monetary systems, global markets, economies and, therefore, governments and nations.<\/p>\n<p>The Praxian accelerationist investment pathway is an identifiable signature: their seed accelerators initiate \u201cdisruptive technology\u201d startups or research projects. Praxian-linked investment houses, like Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and Founders Fund, then increase investment in subsequent funding rounds to incubate promising creative destruction. Once the disruption is underway, if there is potential commercial value,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/xrEjM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Initial Public Offerings<\/a>\u00a0(IPOs) frequently follow to attract wider investment.

Worldcoin was the product of the OpenResearch UBI trials in the US. In order to access Worldcoin, \u201ccustomers\u201d have to submit their biometric identifier\u2014iris scans<em>\u2014<\/em>to the Praxians. Once the Praxians have created your digital \u201cvalue\u201d<em>\u2014<\/em>there is no other kind in the Praxian universe\u2014your digital identity is fixed to your programmable \u201cmoney\u201d, which you receive into your Praxian-approved digital wallet in the form of the founder\u2019s Worldcoin.<\/p>\n<p>The public-private state doling out supposedly \u201cfree money\u201d (UBI) may seem like an appealing idea for some. It is never free. Pabst observed, \u201cWorldcoin uses smart contracts, digital infrastructure key to currency programmability.\u201d Thus, receipt of your Worldcoin UBI will be conditional. All your spending will be programmed, and your behaviour can and will be controlled. This vice-like behavioural control of populations is at the heart of Praxian ideology.<\/p>\n<p>Returning to YC, Altman\u2019s journey took flight when Loopt received additional startup capital from Sequoia Capital assisted by YC.

The land of Thule, depicted in the 2nd century on Ptolemy\u2019s World Map as the northern extremity of the Greco-Roman world, was referred to by Augustan poet Virgil as \u201cUltima Thule,\u201d meaning \u201cfarthest Thule.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Thule Society was so named because its devotees believed Thule to be the site of a great, lost Aryan civilisation and the ancestral home of the assumed Aryan master race. The Thule Society contributed funds to the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (DAP\u2014German Workers\u2019 Party), which Hitler later renamed the National Socialist German Workers\u2019 Party\u2014NSDAP, or Nazis. There is considerable debate, but many believe that the Thule Society strongly influenced the Nazi leadership, especially Rudolf Hess, Hans Frank, Dietrich Eckart, and Alfred Rosenberg, who were all said to be members.<\/p>\n<p>In 1946, the US and Denmark established a weather observation installation in Greenland which was secretly a planned staging point for US long-range bombers. The base was built near a trading outpost established by Danish Arctic explorer Knud Rasmussen in 1910.

So Anthropic\u2019s working relationship was primarily with Praxian private sector intelligence and technology contractors, not public sector procurers.<\/p>\n<p>Less than two weeks after Anthropic signed the contract, on July 23rd, 2025, Trump issued\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20260326091005\/https:\/\/www.govinfo.gov\/content\/pkg\/DCPD-202500789\/pdf\/DCPD-202500789.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Executive Order (EO) 14319<\/a>, defining \u201cwoke AI\u201d as any AI that sacrifices \u201ctruthfulness and accuracy to ideological agendas.\u201d As we\u2019ll see in Part 2, there is an openly expressed Zionist ideology apparently underpinning everything the US government is currently doing in the Middle East.

That is, unless it does, which it reserves the right to do.<\/p>\n<p>All of these activities are allowed within OpenAI\u2019s\u00a0<em>new<\/em>\u00a0agreement. Mass surveillance will not be \u201cintentionally used\u201d unless it is \u201cconsistent with applicable laws.\u201d As I highlighted in\u00a0<em>The Technocratic Dark State<\/em>, US corporations spying on the US population is already consistent with\u00a0<em>applicable laws<\/em>\u00a0like the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and the PATRIOT Act.<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not OpenAI is \u201cused to independently direct autonomous weapons\u201d is entirely at the discretion of the DOW, whose national security considerations are now \u201cinformed\u201d by PCAST.

The Trump administration is appealing a federal court ruling determining that it breached the PC Act by deploying National Guard troops to police\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/cdzUb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Californian neighbourhoods<\/a>. Laws change, and relying on \u201capplicable laws\u201d as civil rights safeguards is like using ice sculptures as a defence against flamethrowers: you are going to get burnt sooner or later.<\/p>\n<p>Tucked away in Altman\u2019s Pentagon contract is a\u00a0<em>safety measure<\/em>\u00a0that was not in the original Anthropic deal. In order for effective data\u00a0<em>guardrails<\/em>\u00a0to keep Americans safe, it is\u00a0<em>now<\/em>\u00a0essential that the data gathered by any Praxian AI in \u201cclassified environments\u201d is subsequently shared with \u201call [Praxian] AI companies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A big and very public brouhaha has ensued, as Anthropic and the Pentagon duke it out in the media for suitably distracting\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/0Wswz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">entertainment purposes<\/a>. Bizarrely, the Trump administration has designated Anthropic a \u201csupply chain risk\u201d while continuing to use Claude AI to select \u201cmission-critical\u201d targets in Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Anthropic\u2019s well-publicised stand against tyranny has seen it gain massive public approval, propelling it to become the most successful AI on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/Wo3Vc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Apple\u2019s global platforms<\/a>. At the same time, arch-Praxian Sam Altman is now being handsomely rewarded to operate in \u201cclassified environments\u201d and then to share whatever data he acquires with \u201cany\u201d Praxian accelerationist he wants to hand it to.<\/p>\n<p>The Praxians most assuredly are \u201cin control.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-genocide-of-the-palestinians\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Genocide of the Palestinians<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Calculating deaths caused by conflicts and punitive government policies is a notoriously difficult and contentious process. Nonetheless, at the time of writing, it is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/bvFIs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">evident<\/a>\u00a0that at least 17,000 Palestinian children have been slaughtered in the Israeli government\u2019s obliteration of Gaza. Total numbers of around 100,000 murders, indicating potentially higher numbers of child killings, are a horrific but realistic estimate.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli government and its Praxian partners cannot pretend they were solely targeting Hamas. When at least 1.3 million Gazan Palestinians fled to refugee camps, they were still subjected to relentless\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/hQmw4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Israeli attacks<\/a>. Official accounts of a minimum of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/BMQR6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">1.6 million Palestinians<\/a>\u00a0being forced to the brink of starvation as a result of Israeli\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/udqy6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">food aid\u00a0<\/a>blockades are also painfully plausible.

As they return to try to rebuild what\u2019s left of their lives, should any Palestinian approach the unmarked and seemingly fluid demarcation \u201cYellow Line,\u201d they are targeted by the Israeli government air strikes. They are effectively squeezing surviving Palestinians into an ever-diminishing coastal strip\u2014the \u201cred zone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With few homes to return to, Gaza\u2019s Palestinian survivors suffer chronic overcrowding and housing shortages, heightening the risk of disease. As they are corralled into what remains of \u201cHamas-led\u201d territory, they face a severe scarcity of medical supplies, fuel, food, water, energy shortages, and spiralling prices. Thanks to the Praxians and their oligarch network, this is something we might all soon become accustomed to, as we\u2019ll discuss in Part 2.<\/p>\n<p>In Gaza, the Israeli government continues to attack North Gaza, Gaza City, the Bureij refugee camp, and Khan Younis and, indeed, any location<em>\u2014<\/em>at evidently varying distances vicariously judged to be\u00a0<em>near<\/em>\u00a0the Yellow Line.

As almost universally expected, the unbridled violence of the Israeli government\u2019s\u00a0<em>retribution<\/em>\u00a0has sparked a wider Middle East military conflagration.

Beyond effectively wiping it from the map, one of the most notable is that Gaza\u2019s cash supply, upon which Palestinians were heavily reliant for their day-to-day survival, and its entire banking and monetary infrastructure, has been\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/ozX9C\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">annihilated<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Reportedly, Gazan citizen Raed Fares described this as \u201ca different kind of war\u201d, adding:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Our daily struggle is simply finding money and figuring out how to pay, especially since many shops only accept cash.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The people of Gaza are extraordinarily resilient and resourceful. Faced with monetary collapse, they have self-organised bartering systems of exchange.

As we\u2019ll discuss, the Praxians quite possibly played a major role in starting the conflict, so no one should be particularly shocked.<\/p>\n<p>Palestinians in Gaza are being prepared for the behavioural control of digital identity linked to programmable digital currency. As reported by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/GJj6b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Al Estiklal<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>With banks shuttered or destroyed and ATMs out of service, salaries are either delayed, cut, or funnelled through newly created local e-wallets born out of wartime necessity.

Rather, the Palestinians supposedly vacated their homeland of their own free will. While many certainly fled, they were running for their lives, not out of choice.<\/p>\n<p>There is no doubt that Ben-Gurion understood what the initial objectives of the nascent Israeli state were. In 1947 he gave an address\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/oBSCU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">where he said<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>There can be no stable and strong Jewish state so long as it has a Jewish majority of only 60 per cent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A year later, while Ben-Gurion and other installed Zionist Israeli officials publicly condemned the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians, they simultaneously instituted the policies and operations to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20250729065408\/https:\/\/www.plands.org\/en\/maps-atlases\/atlases\/the-atlas-of-palestine\/pdfs\/atlas-part-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">facilitate it<\/a>. With more than eighty per cent of the Palestinian population driven out of the new nation of Israel, in 1949, the \u201cGreen Line\u201d established Gaza\u2014the Gaza Strip\u2014as one of the two\u00a0<em>allowed<\/em>\u00a0Palestinian territories.<\/p>\n<p>In 1954, by chance just after Ben-Gurion briefly resigned as prime minister and defence minister\u2014he held both offices\u2014Israeli military intelligence undertook\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/3ZONn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Operation Suzanna<\/a>. This was a strategic and political disaster, but, luckily for Ben-Gurion, he\u00a0<em>temporarily<\/em>\u00a0wasn\u2019t in charge at the time and so could remain blameless.<\/p>\n<p>Bombs were planted in civilian targets in Egypt with the intention of blaming the bombings on the Muslim Brotherhood. The strategic objective was to convince the British military to maintain its regional defence of the Suez Canal, but the crimes of the Israeli assets were exposed. It was a botched false flag terror operation, in other words.<\/p>\n<p>The disclosure of Operation Suzanna led to \u201cthe Lavon Affair.\u201d The Israeli minister of defence, Pinhas Lavon, was held accountable, forcing his resignation. As the Israeli government faltered, Ben-Gurion returned in 1955 to save the day, serving first as Lavon\u2019s replacement and then as prime minister once more. In 1961, when Lavon was exonerated by the Knesset<em>\u2014<\/em>Israel\u2019s parliament<em>\u2014<\/em>Ben-Gurion\u2019s government\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/fIDA1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">collapsed<\/a>. Israeli internal power struggles rumbled on, and Ben-Gurion eventually stepped down for the final time in 1963.<\/p>\n<p>Operation Suzanna and the resultant Lavon Affair were a total fiasco for the Israeli administration. From that point onwards there would never again be any admissions of Israeli false flag terrorism. But that hasn\u2019t stopped the Israeli state from using the tactic. The Israeli government has a long history exploiting Islamist terrorism as a tool for achieving its own desired policy outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Sabri Khalil al-Banna, better known as Abu Nidal, formed the Abu Nidal Organisation (ANO) as an \u201cextremist\u201d wing of the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO). The ANO was\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Abu_Nidal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">held responsible<\/a>\u00a0for hundreds of terrorist murders and attacks from the mid 1970s to the early 1990s.<\/p>\n<p>Many ANO attacks, such as the 1988 bombing of the Greek ship\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/City_of_Poros_ship_attack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">The City of Poros<\/a>, were prejudicial to the Palestinian cause. At the time of the bombing, the Greek government was one of the European governments most sympathetic to independent Palestinian statehood. Clearly, driving a wedge between the Greek government and the Palestinians benefited Israel\u2019s policy objectives.<\/p>\n<p>An investigation by Middle East analyst and journalist Patrick Seale revealed that more than half of ANO attacks targeted Palestinian and other Arab organisations that supported the Palestinians. Intelligence officers from France, Jordan, the PLO, and even senior ANO operatives concluded that the ANO was practically\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.li\/egKZe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">run by Mossad<\/a>\u2014Israeli Special Operations Intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>In 1992, Israeli arms dealer and intelligence operative\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ari_Ben-Menashe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Ari Ben-Menashe<\/a>\u00a0discussed how Israeli intelligence financed and manipulated Palestinian\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.li\/7871A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">terrorist attacks<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The slush fund helped finance the intelligence community\u2019s \u201cblack\u201d operations around the world. These included funding Israeli-controlled \u201cPalestinian terrorists\u201d who would commit crimes in the name of the Palestinian revolution but were actually pulling them off, usually unwittingly, as part of the Israeli propaganda machine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Over the decades, Israeli governments have not restricted themselves to using Islamist proxies to kill their own or allied personnel. In June 1967, during the Six-Day Arab-Israeli War, the Israeli Air Force (IAF) and Navy attacked an American reconnaissance vessel, the USS Liberty, killing thirty-four crew and injuring more than 170. The official account, from both the US and Israeli governments, is that this was a case of mistaken identification by the Israelis, a so-called \u201cfriendly-fire incident.\u201d Supposedly the Israelis thought the USS Liberty was the Egyptian ship,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/2NwIT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">the El Quseir<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The offered explanation makes no rational sense. The El Quseir was a small, low profile coastal ferry, whereas the USS Liberty was a much larger US Navy signals intelligence ship with many tall radio masts and antennas visible on its decks. The only visual similarity the Liberty had with the El Qusier was that they were both boats.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16989\" src=\"https:\/\/unlimitedhangout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/lgwalsh06.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unlimitedhangout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/lgwalsh06.jpg 1020w, https:\/\/unlimitedhangout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/lgwalsh06-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/unlimitedhangout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/lgwalsh06-150x106.jpg 150w, https:\/\/unlimitedhangout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/lgwalsh06-768x542.jpg 768w, https:\/\/unlimitedhangout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/lgwalsh06-380x268.jpg 380w, https:\/\/unlimitedhangout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/lgwalsh06-800x565.jpg 800w, https:\/\/unlimitedhangout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/lgwalsh06-963x680.jpg 963w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1020\" height=\"720\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The USS Liberty shortly after the Israeli attack in June 1967 \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/mondoweiss.net\/2017\/07\/israeli-investigates-letters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The attack lasted for forty minutes, first the IAF carried out multiple airstrikes and then Israeli torpedo boats fired on it.

[. . .] The silhouette and conduct of the U.S.S.

Boston stated, as a point of law,<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>that then US President Johnson and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, in the certain knowledge that the Israeli attack was deliberate, ordered the truth to be covered up.<\/p>\n<p>Ward Boston further\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/VLQpT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">attested<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The evidence was clear [. . .] that this attack [. . .] was a deliberate effort to sink an American ship and murder its entire crew.

His written testimony stands as an uncontested legal fact.<\/p>\n<p>The precise reason for the Israeli attack is disputed. US Admiral Thomas H. Moorer (former Chairman, US Joint Chiefs of Staff) believed it was carried out to stop the US spy ship alerting the Johnson administration to the Israeli government\u2019s imminent attack on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/PVFFy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Golan Heights<\/a>. Others suspect it was designed to draw the US into the Arab-Israeli conflict. Whatever the Israeli government\u2019s motivation was, the established fact is that the Israeli government attacked a US navel vessel, killing and wounding US servicemen, for some political or strategic reason.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a-highly-dubious-excuse\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Highly Dubious Excuse<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Israeli government cited the 2023 October 7th Hamas attack on southern Israel as a supposed justification for its obliteration of Gaza.

The Israeli state, or elements within the Israeli state, appeared to deliberately remove defences, wilfully ignored intelligence warnings and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/sW7b6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">stood down<\/a>\u00a0the military response to ensure the Hamas attack proceeded.<\/p>\n<p>While an Israeli false flag is unthinkable for many, that doesn\u2019t change the evidence. Given Israel\u2019s demonstrable history of using false-flag terrorism, the evidence isn\u2019t surprising either. In addition, the Israeli government not only played a significant role in the creation of Hamas but has also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iaindavis.substack.com\/p\/yes-the-israeli-government-created\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">funded Hamas<\/a>\u00a0for decades.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, IDF Major General Gershon Hacohen, a close associate of Benjamin Netanyahu, explained how the Israeli administration sought to use Hamas to sabotage Palestinian cohesion and thus diminish the prospect of Palestinian independence.<\/p>\n<p>Hacohen\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/Xx9c3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">reportedly said<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The truth must be told: Netanyahu\u2019s [the Israeli government\u2019s] strategy is to prevent the two-state option, and therefore he has made Hamas his closest partner. In the overt dimension, Hamas is an enemy; in the covert dimension, it is an ally.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Israeli government support for Hamas is openly discussed in Israel. In the wake of October 7th, many have questioned the wisdom of the strategy, but discussions are limited to the disastrous consequences of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.li\/8eoif\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">policy failure<\/a><em>\u2014<\/em>the so-called \u201cblowback\u201d. Contemplating the possibility that the Hamas attack benefited the Israeli government is distantly placed outside the Overton window.<\/p>\n<p>Much of the early reporting of the October 7th Hamas attack has been consigned to the memory hole. Nonetheless, in the first few days following the attack, the Israeli Defence Force\u2019s (IDF\u2019s) own public relations team reported the statements of IDF officers like Lt Col Barak Hiram and Lt Col Yaniv Barot, who gave accounts of gun battles between people who looked like IDF troops and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/JoDA5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">IDF units<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One of the survivors of the attack on the Nova music festival, Raziel Tamir, gave the following\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/q4Xdb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">eyewitness account<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Hamas terrorists were masquerading as IDF rescue forces during the bloodbath, tricking Israelis into thinking they were running toward their saviours only to be gunned down instead.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It was alleged, at the time, that Hamas terrorists had disguised themselves as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/rUaQV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">IDF<\/a>\u00a0soldiers. This is particularly surprising in respect to the festival attack because the official Israeli account is that Hamas stumbled upon it\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/dIIkX\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">by chance<\/a>. Obviously, if Raziel Tamir is to be believed, wearing disguises to lull victims into a false sense of security requires planning.<\/p>\n<p>If Hamas wore IDF uniforms, that would have potentially constituted a breach of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/5veev\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Article 37<\/a>\u00a0of the Geneva Convention\u2014a United Nations (UN) designated war crime. The Israeli government could have used this apparent war crime for propaganda purposes. Yet, no Israeli official has ever formally made that allegation. There is no mention of this potential Hamas convention breach in any IDF investigation reports, nor in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20241217151547\/https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/hrbodies\/hrcouncil\/sessions-regular\/session56\/a-hrc-56-crp-3.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">UN\u2019s account<\/a>\u00a0of the October 7th attack. Certainly, in order to make the charge stick, Israel would have to recognise Hamas as an enemy combatant, rather than a terrorist group. Nevertheless, if the\u00a0<em>official\u00a0<\/em>story of Hamas wearing disguises is true, the failure not to use the fake uniform narrative for propaganda purposes seems an odd omission.<\/p>\n<p>All we are left with are unverified eyewitness accounts, some from serving IDF officers, of people wearing IDF uniforms engaged in attacks on Israeli civilians and IDF units. This raises the possibility that a LIHOP false flag may have strayed into a \u201cMake It Happen On Purpose\u201d (MIHOP) false flag.<\/p>\n<p>Analysis of the video footage of the Hamas attack\u2014especially that shown on various news channels around the world\u2014suggests much of it was\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/matt1up.substack.com\/p\/synthetic-ai-news-visual-glitches\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">manipulated<\/a>\u00a0using AI. Though the overall picture is unclear, Hamas also posted its own videos showing graphic images of both Israeli military and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/jSOQq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">civilians dead<\/a>. In a sense, this footage also potentially served Israel\u2019s propaganda purposes. Nonetheless, it was posted by Hamas, not Israeli sources. Hamas\u2019s own filming and its\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/f7Zx1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">admitted history<\/a>\u00a0of targeting Israeli civilians leave little doubt that Israeli citizens were murdered by Hamas on October 7th. As things stand, however, it is not possible to ascertain how many Israeli civilians were killed by Hamas and how many by the IDF or Israeli police.<\/p>\n<p>To give just one illustrative example: on October 15th, Israeli state-owned radio broadcaster Kan 11 aired\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/survivor-speak-israeli-forces-shot-their-own-civilians\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">an interview<\/a>\u00a0with Yasmin Porat, one of the few Kibbutz Be\u2019eri survivors. She said Israeli civilians were killed by the IDF. In her words, \u201cThey fired on everyone there, including the hostages.\u201d A month later, Porat was invited to give\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/israeli-teen-burned-completely-by-israeli-tank-fire-at-kibbutz-beri\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">another interview<\/a>. Her story remained consistent, and, recalling a conversation she had with another survivor, she expanded on her own previous eyewitness statement:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>For three hours I was at a very intense battle, but now I am on the side of the supposed good guys. [. . .] At a certain point a tank arrives at the house. I think it was about 19:00 or 19:30. [. . .] I think to myself, why are they shooting tank shells at the house [Kibbutzim]? The girl [12-year-old Liel Hatsroni] did not stop screaming all those hours, but when those two shells hit, she stopped screaming. [. . .] That is pretty much when everyone died. [. . .] I estimate, based on what happened in other houses, she [Liel Hatsroni] apparently burnt completely. [ . . . ] The house [kibbutz] is burnt full of people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Israeli officials admitted that the number of these so-called \u201cfriendly fire\u201d incidents on October 7th\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/xOe1H\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">was<\/a>\u00a0\u201cimmense\u201d. To date, there has been no serious investigation into any of them. Therefore, relative culpability remains another unknown.<\/p>\n<p>Obscuring the \u201ctruth\u201d further, the Israeli media fabricated \u201cwar atrocity\u201d propaganda to initially capitalise on the terrorist attack. For example, Israeli i24 News \u201cjournalist\u201d Nicole Zedeck was the first to claim that Hamas had killed and mutilated\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/oAdpb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">forty infants and babies<\/a>\u00a0at Kfar Aza Kibbutz. Politicians, such as US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, were joined by many other propaganda outlets,\u00a0<em>CNN<\/em>\u00a0and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/qaN7N\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><em>BBC<\/em><\/a>\u00a0among them, in spreading this propaganda internationally. In reality, ten-month-old Mila Cohen is the only infant known to have been killed during the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/NRjWC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Hamas attack<\/a>. Sadly, Mila died at Kibbutz Be\u2019eri and may have lost her life to the IDF shelling of the Kibbutzim.<\/p>\n<p>Not only has Gaza been destroyed as a result and Palestinians murdered, maimed or displaced, but the turmoil has spilt beyond Gaza\u2019s borders. The October 7th Hamas attack has, in effect, triggered a Middle East conflict. The US administration, under Donald Trump, is now in a direct military alliance with Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s Israeli government, and both are waging war on Iran. As ever, it is civilians and those thrown into unnecessary combat who suffer.<\/p>\n<p>Irrespective of Hamas\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/a93ak\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">stated reasons<\/a>\u00a0for its October 7th attack, the consequences could not have been worse for the Palestinians. Conversely, the longer-term ramifications could not be better from a Zionist US and Israeli government perspective.<\/p>\n<p>If October 7th was an Israeli LIHOP false flag, it plainly worked as presumably intended. Once again, the Praxians are the chief beneficiaries.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a-praxian-excuse-for-genocide\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Praxian Excuse for Genocide?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Not only has the Praxian mob been instrumental in the ongoing Palestinian genocide, it seems highly likely they were, to some extent, responsible for the \u201cintelligence failures\u201d that supposedly allowed Hamas to conduct its October 7th assault without facing any notable IDF resistance. Just as we saw with the suspicious collapse of SVB, Israel\u2019s purported\u00a0<em>failure<\/em>\u00a0to respond has all the hallmarks of another Praxian-inspired subterfuge.<\/p>\n<p>If that is the case, the Praxians have manoeuvred themselves into prime position. Having contributed<em>\u2014<\/em>in the most brutal manner imaginable<em>\u2014<\/em>to the \u201cdeterritorialization\u201d of Gaza, they now aim to \u201creterritorialize\u201d it as a \u201csovcorp realm\u201d and have set their sights on repeating the process across the Middle East and, bluntly, the world.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli government claims that its intelligence capabilities failed almost completely in the lead up to October 7th. Unquestioningly accepting the Israeli government\u2019s faux pas narrative, the US Combating Terrorism Center (CTR) produced analysis of a totally unbelievable procession of Israeli mistakes and errors. Essentially, the CTR accepted Israel\u2019s assertion that its intelligence community is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/CtVS8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">hopelessly inept<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>[I]t seems likely that Israel\u2019s inability to detect the impending attacks was not the result of a single glaring failure but rather the result of multiple problems at different levels and across the various intelligence services.

[F]ailures and negligence hampered Israel\u2019s [. . .] collection, analysis, and dissemination at the intelligence level.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>To reiterate, and to be clear: the Israeli government\u2019s official explanation for allowing the Hamas October 7th attack to proceed is the\u00a0<em>failure<\/em>\u00a0of its intelligence gathering and analysis.

AMAN oversees Israel\u2019s digital surveillance, cybersecurity and cyberwarfare corps within the IDF, called Unit 8200. To be fair to Unit 8200, it did raise the October 7th alarm. It just didn\u2019t do so with sufficient vigour to convince any AMAN commanders to alert anyone else.

In November 2025, the head of Palantir UK, Louis Mosley, spoke to\u00a0<em>Bloomberg<\/em>\u00a0journalist Tom Mackenzie about how Palantir viewed the technological advances it made by using the war in Ukraine as its \u201cR&amp;D lab.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Louis Mosley is the aristocratic grandson of reviled British fascist Oswald Ernald Mosley. Louis\u2019 father, Oswald Alexander Mosley, married Charlotte Diana Marten in 1975, and Louis came along in 1983. As an interesting aside, Louis\u2019 grandmother by marriage was Diana Guinness (n\u00e9e Mitford), one of the notorious\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20250430114622\/https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/magazine-29351187\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Mitford Sisters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In conversation with Mackenzie, Mosley\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iaindavis.com\/pdfs\/LM-Bleeding-Edge.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">said<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Ukraine has been the R&amp;D lab for AI in a military context for the last three years. It is the absolute bleeding edge of military technology. There is no substitute for a real battlefield. You can build things in the laboratory; you can test them, but you don\u2019t know whether they really work until you\u2019ve seen it on the battlefield.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Karp\u2019s and Mosley\u2019s comments are indicative of the Praxian mindset. Speaking at Pepperdine University in Malibu in October 2024, by which time the genocide of the Palestinians was widely acknowledged, Anduril CEO Palmer Luckey\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/3CDPk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">described himself<\/a>\u00a0as part of a \u201cwarrior class [. . .] that is enthused and excited about enacting violence on others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Safely tucked away in their fortified\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.ph\/xjH7e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">bunker compounds<\/a>, nowhere near the front lines, Paxians are detached from humanity. It is not them or their loved ones who will be vaporised by their weapons in their wars. For the Praxians, the \u201cweapons [in their] hands\u201d kill people from a very comfortable and safe distance. They evidently see war and mass slaughter as a stratagem, extending their use of \u201ccreative destruction\u201d and accelerating kinetic warfare to achieve their objectives.<\/p>\n<p>In a separate interview with\u00a0<em>UK Times Radio<\/em>\u00a0journalist John Pienaar, Mosley said:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The war in Ukraine has driven, if you like, a new arms race where these technologies have improved immensely. [. . .] And that\u2019s happening across that whole stack from the hardware in the drones all the way up into software and models. [. . .] I think we\u2019re moving in a direction where much of the process can be automated. [. . .] The big question that we\u2019re all going to have to confront is, where do you insist on having a human in the loop? I think in the West, we\u2019re very clear about the importance of maintaining that. My concern is that adversaries may not be.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Like Karp, Mosley was making a baseless sales pitch. Evidently their AI-based autonomous weaponry is removing humans from \u201cthe loop;\u201d they are not better, or even more sophisticated than any trained human observers, quite the opposite. If you want to simply carpet bomb a country, the Praxians\u2019 \u201cadvanced\u201d weaponry is ideally suited. If you want to isolate and assassinate a specific enemy target without murdering school children, you definitely need cautious human decision makers in the \u201cdigital kill chain.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16993\" src=\"https:\/\/unlimitedhangout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/louismosley-1024x683.jpeg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unlimitedhangout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/louismosley-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/unlimitedhangout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/louismosley-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/unlimitedhangout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/louismosley-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/unlimitedhangout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/louismosley-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/unlimitedhangout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/louismosley-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/unlimitedhangout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/louismosley-380x253.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/unlimitedhangout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/louismosley-800x534.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/unlimitedhangout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/louismosley-1160x774.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/unlimitedhangout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/louismosley-1020x680.jpeg 1020w, https:\/\/unlimitedhangout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/louismosley.jpeg 1600w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Louis Mosley in front of the Palantir logo \u2013<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politicshome.com\/news\/article\/palantir-boss-interview-keir-starmer-gets-ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">\u00a0Source<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The \u201cnew arms race,\u201d like nearly all arms races before it, is first and foremost a marketing ploy.
