If there is any one thing to describe today’s speech of Hasan Nasrallah, the Secretary General of Hizbullah, is that it was one of national psychological preparedness; preparing the nation for very hard choices to be made in the next few days. 1/
On the investigation of the explosion, he said that any international investigation would only have one purpose, steering it away from discussing the possibility it was an attack. He said the FBI are already on the ground of the port, attempting to influence the investigation. 2/
He noted that some claim Hizbullah has the proof Israel was behind the attack. He said they don’t, and are waiting for the results of the investigation; but that if it is proven to be an attack, that the State and the People have a responsibility, before even Hizbullah. 3/
He wondered if the nation and the state are ready to deliver on their responsibilities in such a situation; reminding them of the fact Resistance is what keeps Israel at bay. He noted that the resistance will deliver on its responsibility in such a case. 4/
That is when Sayed Nasrallah promised, that if it was proven Israel was behind the attack on the port, to respond in equal measure, not only to the damage, but the intended damage that was averted with the protection of the Silos and the unexploded ammonium-nitrates. 5/
In 2 parts, he warned there was a failed attempt to collapse the state, not only the government. That some parties and TV stations were aiming to cause a civil war; but failed. He asked people not to lose their anger, to be prepared in case called on to defend the state. 6/
He also addressed the issues of the presence of foreign navies, and laughed when mentioning the French aircraft carrier, telling people not to worry or be afraid. It was as if by mentioning these navies on the anniversary of the 2006, and the sinking of the Israeli ship, 7/
as if when he motioned with his hand, he was saying they are sitting ducks, as if he was thanking the west for providing easy targets that were intended to be tools of intimidation. 8/
As for the UAE peace deal with Apartheid Israel, he said Trump needed a foreign affairs win to drown the media before elections, and to expect more treasonous gulf states to have been lined up and one by one to do the same from now to November if needed. 9/
He humiliated the UAE rulers, and even laughed when he described the scene of Trump sitting with a representative on each of his sides as a wedding. He said that Trump milked the gulf states for money, & now milked them for political stature; he called them wards of the west. 10/
But the most profound analysis he offered on this, was how he described the masks falling and why; I believe his analysis offers a way to accurately describe the current age of Imperial politics, and certainly inside the Empire and its domains. 11/
He said the UAE is dropping the mask now, and outing it’s collaboration, because it fears that Israel is failing, and that the UAE’s own life depends on the existence of Israel & its protection, for the USA is far. And similarly, the gulf states will do anything to save US. 12/
Think about the USA, it is not only Trump that dropped the mask of Imperialism, Biden and all the US establishment are openly supremacist when speaking about how they will punish every other nation that doesn’t bend-over and submit. The Empire is dying and it knows it. 13/
Apartheid Israel is at its last days, gulf fabricated states are at their last days, & the Empire that ruled them from DC is coming to an end. They are all dropping the masks & are getting more vicious & psychotic; and as Nasrallah said, it is sad to see but but empowering. 14/14
