Israel hit Syrian base to thwart Turkish military deployment

Israel attacked Syria’s Abu al-Duhur military air base last week after intelligence indicated Turkey was preparing to station troops and air defense and radar systems there, Kan News reported Saturday.

Eight Israeli airstrikes hit the facility, damaging warehouses and the runway.

The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office said the operation followed Syria’s decision to permit a Turkish deployment that Israel viewed as a breach of the existing security arrangement in the area.

Israel shared intelligence about the expected Turkish deployment with the United States, telling Washington that Ankara intended to send military personnel along with radar and air defense equipment to the Syrian base, according to Kan News.

An official said Israel resorted to military action after efforts to convey its position through diplomatic channels failed.

“Since the diplomatic message did not get through, Israel delivered it through a targeted warning strike,” the official said.

Syria and Turkey rejected Israel’s account and denied that Turkish forces were preparing to deploy at Abu al-Duhur.

The United States, meanwhile, criticized the Israeli operation as an “unnecessary” escalation.

Defense Minister Israel Katz said Saturday that Israel attempted to halt the move before resorting to military action by delivering a warning directly to senior Syrian officials.

“Following several discussions that Prime Minister [Benjamin Netanyahu] and I held with the IDF and the various security officials, it was agreed that before approval was given, a direct warning would be issued to the Syrian regime at the highest levels first in an attempt to prevent the move, and that is what was done,” Katz said.

His account echoed Netanyahu’s statement that Syria had been warned before the attack.

Katz said Turkey did not respond to the threat, after which he authorized the military operation. He said the strikes were successfully carried out and argued that they ultimately prevented Ankara from proceeding with its plans.

“[Turkish President Recep Tayyip] Erdogan was caught with his hand in the cookie jar and was forced to back down,” Katz said.

IN the summer of 2019, I was seated in the wine cellar of a walled Medieval town high above the Dordogne Valley of France, not far from Sarlat-la-Canéda, making phone calls, writing reports. I have given this story in other places and it appears as though you’re about to hear it again. Rob Skiba is a name you that you might be familiar with. Though he had made a name for himself as a Nephilim researcher, more recently Rob had taken a dive into the deep end of the pool via flat earth research. The recorded interviews I conducted between he and Rick Hummer, a fellow flat earth investigator and close friend of his, was published while still occupying that very wine cellar. Read all about it. Chicago Is Not a Mirage.

Word quickly spread. Within a few short weeks, dozens of flat earth researchers began accepting my invite for a private interview, if not a series of interviews. From a 17th-century tower built by King Louis XIV, and with a stunning view of the Alps, I sat down with Robbie Davidson, founder of the Flat Earth International Conferences, conducting multiple sessions. While staying in Dumfries, Scotland, David Weiss agreed to take part in the interviews, as did Bob Knodel of Globebusters. There were others. But when I asked the interviewees to discuss the moments that shaped their lives, among the many PSYOPs, false flag attacks, and hoaxes that were discussed, only these men committed commentary to the false 9/11 narrative.

The resulting recordings ballooned into The Unexpected Cosmology, a book which became a website and was even intended as an anthology. And of course, the following discourse was originally a chapter. It was Walt Disney who stated, “Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” Those sentiments remain applicable here as well. American Sensationalism: The 9/11 Interviews was always intended to be expanded upon with the inclusion of new researchers. So I’m sorry to say the project became stagnant during the Covid-19 psychodrama. I took a break to tackle other projects. We lost Rob Skiba. Rob offered hours of private conversation regarding his life but we never got around to the big one. 9/11. It was in the cards. Sadly, Bob Knodel died soon afterwards. Voices are being squeezed from an entire generation. Gnosis passes with them.

In the aftermath, the FE community became fractured. People began going their separate ways. Robbie Davidson, among a noted few others who were interviewed for the project, got up and left the movement altogether. It is not my intent to erase his or the contributions of others if only brief. They came, they went, their testimonies remain.

The original vision may have hit roadblocks but it is not forgotten. I expanded this paper a few years later to include testimony from author Pauly Hart, a dear friend of mine. I had wanted to continue that trend every year thereafter but you know how it goes. For the 25th anniversary of the attack I have redirected my efforts to its first large scale expansion, including Andrew Hoy and Darrin Geisinger into the mix. Perhaps others will lend their experiences to the recorder in time.

The following is their report.
