Members of the UN Security Council held an emergency meeting on Lebanon on Monday, where officials blamed Hezbollah for continued hostilities while also calling on Israel to withdraw its forces from Lebanese territory.

The meeting was convened at the request of France, which cited escalating violence in Lebanon, according to a statement from the French Foreign Ministry.

Addressing the council, United Nations Assistant Secretary-General Martha Pobee said Israel’s military operations in Lebanon violate the country’s territorial integrity and conflict with the 2006 Security Council resolution that calls for Israel’s withdrawal south of the UN-demarcated border.

At the same time, Pobee said Hezbollah bears responsibility for ongoing violence and must comply with obligations requiring the group to disarm.

She said the ultimate objective is “a durable, permanent ceasefire adhered to by all sides.”

“The situation in Lebanon is deeply alarming,” Pobee said in a statement published on the UN website.

France also assigned responsibility for the conflict to Hezbollah and its Iranian backers.

“It is Hezbollah, supported by Iran, that bears responsibility for the outbreak of hostilities,” France said during the meeting.

The emergency session took place as Israel has continued military operations against Hezbollah.

The Israeli military has said its actions are aimed at preventing attacks by the group, which it says has refused to disarm in accordance with the terms of the ceasefire reached in 2024.

Most members of the Security Council, however, focused their remarks on criticism of Israel and demands for an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon.

Lebanon’s ambassador to the United Nations, Ahmad Arafa, accused Israel of “capitalizing, as usual, on a tense regional climate” and conducting a “systematic campaign of destruction” that he said in many cases “amount to war crimes.”

Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, defended Israel’s presence in Lebanon as a security necessity and pointed out that Hezbollah had violated the ceasefire established in November 2024.

Danon said Israel “did not wake up one morning and decide to enter Lebanon,” adding that the country “had no choice” after Hezbollah attacked Israel on March 2.

US Ambassador Mike Waltz said a reduction in tensions could be achieved quickly “if Hezbollah immediately ceases its attacks, as apparently it’s promised, and the government of Lebanon asserts its full sovereignty, rebuilds, and brings its people home.”

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.
