GUESS WHAT?

"The U.S. Treasury and Israel both believe Hezbollah controls many of Beirut’s port facilities."
A NETWORK of underground facilities at the port.

NOT SHELTERS.

Offices, tunnels, and so on.

The crater is almost 500 feet deep. That means the explosion was used to kill everybody underground.
CHECK IT OUT:

None of these are homes.

They're all offices and conference rooms.
TWO king-size beds?!

It's a VIP guesthouse.
Every rescue I've seen so far is of MILITARY-AGE MALES.

All these berets are army or navy special forces.

This guy wears a T-shirt with the emblem of the Lebanese armed forces.

ZERO TRAINING IN SEARCH AND RESCUE.
This T-shirt logo is Lebanese Civil Defense.

Controlled by Hezbollah.

And he's there to TAKE PHOTOS?!
In the 2006 war, Hezbollah operative Salam Daher posed as a Civil Defense worker.

He was known as Green Helmet Guy.

All he did was "find" dead babies and toddlers and display them to the cameras.

The tiny bodies never showed any signs of trauma.
This guy has a special-forces beret folded and tucked into the pocket on his right leg.

Due to his age, he's obviously an officer, a major or colonel.

FILMING.
Finally, we have a guy with a typical Hezbollah physique, wearing a Lebanese armed-forces cap.

He's got a tattoo on his upper right arm that shows a banner and dagger.

GUESS WHAT?
The Lebanese army Website is down.

It was up 15 minutes ago.
What about the grain silos?

Is the country facing starvation?

NO.

The silos held 120,000 metric tons.

On the day of the event, they were holding 15,000 tons--of CORN.

Not wheat.

Corn is what they feed animals.
BEFORE the event, the silos were designated Lebanon's national wheat stockpile.

NOW?

"Economy Minister Raoul Nehme has reassured the public that there would be no flour or bread crisis."
"When asked by Reuters on Thursday about government stocks, he said there were none.

"He also told Reuters his ministry had been planning to create a strategic reserve of around 40,000 tonnes but had not managed to do so yet."
"'I saw we didn’t have a strategic stock, decided to buy one and got the approval of the council of ministers,' he said, adding that they had been in the final stages of negotiations.

'"Luckily we did not - it would have been destroyed.'"
Boy, sure was LUCKY, eh?

Lebanon will be fine. The Gulf Cooperation Council will help them get through the food crisis.

That's why the Economy Minister said that there will be no shortage, even though there are no stockpiles.
And let me point out AGAIN that the Beirut suffered SUPERFICIAL damage, and the 5000 injured were cut by broken glass or bonked on the head by part of the ceiling coming down.
And I made a mistake.

The crater is 141 feet deep.

I somehow read that is 141 meters.

At any rate, this was a massive STRATEGIC operation against Hezbollah, using new weapons and MASSIVE infiltration. It took YEARS to prepare.
The blast effect was directed upward and downward.

Simultaneously, multiple Hezbollah and Iranian homes, offices, conference rooms, and guesthouses were destroyed.

The same directed blast effect was used, but these had to have been separate weapons.
No air-launched bombs or missiles were employed.

My theory is nanodrone swarms of tiny fuel-air explosives.

This is the targeting of an al-Qaeda terrorist in Yemen in 2015.

He was killed by a nanodrone fuel-air explosive.
Since he was hit at the exact moment he was clear of both crowds, that means the nanodrones are autonomous.

No human has reactions fast enough to pilot such a drone.

I'm sure that a human watcher gave the drone the "Go" order, and then IT chose when to strike.
Mosul, Iraq, in 2016.

Watch, and then I'll break it down.
See the Islamic State sniper?

He's behind the stained cinder-block wall in the lower right quarter of the frame.

He takes a small rock out of his shooting loophole.
A COMPLETELY INVISIBLE munition creates a cloud of explosive vapor, the blast effect of which is directed RIGHT AT THE SNIPER.

See the dust raised on the cinder-block wall?

NO OTHER SHOCK WAVES. NO OTHER DUST BEING RAISED.
No major damage to the house.

Only some cinder blocks, an awning, and a plastic screen knocked over.

Compare the house before and after the explosion.
I don't think this is a real bird (upper left).

I think it's a disguised surveillance drone doing battle-damage assessment (BDA).

A REAL bird would've flapped its little wings as hard as it could to get the hell away from that explosion.

This one LANDED AT THE EXPLOSION SITE.
All of this technology was tested in Yemen, Iraq, Syria, and Libya.

And ALL gases are compressible. The explosive gases used in ram accelerators (and fuel-air explosives) were ten times more powerful than TNT in 1997.
The power of the compressed explosive gas inside nanodrones means that a drone swarm the size of a beehive could bring down an entire building.

Precision obliteration.

Lebanon is about to be free.

Iran and Hezbollah are defeated.
