What the Media Aren't Telling You About
Israel’s Ingenious Strike Against Terrorist Pagers

Original Article

Posted By: 4250Luis, 9/19/2024 6:47:01 AM

Back in the late 1980s to early 1990s, the only people with pagers were doctors and drug dealers. And if you happened to be friends with a doctor or drug dealer, you learned to call the pager and leave a numeric code. (We even figured out a way to pass along football scores.) This communication process wasn’t turnkey, but where there’s a will, there’s a way. But pagers, of course, went the way of the typewriter and telegraph machine. Nowadays, the only people who still use pagers are, well, doctors and drug dealers. (Lots of hospitals have lousy cell reception, so the medical staff is armed with pagers.)

Many Volunteer Fire Departments and Rescue Squads in America are dispatched on emergency calls by pagers, and by Apps on cell phones.

FTA - "Either way, Israel’s actions carried a secondary message — one that the media overlook but will soon coalesce in the hearts and minds of Israel’s adversaries: We delivered you these pagers. We’ve been tracking your movements for months. We know where you are currently. We know where you go for your “secret meetings.” We know who you’re meeting with. We know everything about who you are and what you do." And then there are laptops, cell phone and laptop chargers, Fitbit watches, ipads, televisions, radios, computer printer cartridges, wifi boxes, credit cards, unlaunched missiles, and {fill in the blank}. I can just picture this now in a hamas and hezbollah bunker at 3am - {cell phone ringing}, "whose turn is it to answer the phone? Abdul, you're low man on the totem pole. It's your turn, pal."

It would be foolish to expect that the terrorists won't catch up. But the key point is that the Israelis won't be there. They will be two steps ahead by the time.

Many of the bad guys have "lost an eye," according to reports. Media organizations have sought Hezbollah's reaction to the exploding pagers and walkie-talkies, but for some unknown reason they aren't answering their phones at the moment. At least twenty dead, and counting. Over three thousand injured. Some will need eye patches. Some will need new genitalia. Some will need burial. As Bushwood Country Club greenkeeper Carl Spackler said after coming up with a foolproof strategy to eliminate gophers, "I have to laugh."

Some of the best results are the agonized Left's moans about their beloved terrorists being so easily dispatched or significantly damaged. Note that terrorists are using these pagers, etc. so they cannot be tracked by their cell phones. The Israelis figured out that was like waving a flag saying, "Here I am and I'm a terrorist!". Bullseye! Ingenious! How will the terrorists communicate now? By passing notes?

But why now? Why did Israel choose this moment to blow the pagers/talkies/solar panels? Only guessing, but the longer they waited, the more likely their explosives would be discovered and the entire plan would fail. Also, maybe they thought they'd get the most bang for their buck if they set 'em off right before a big, Hezbollah offensive, so as to derail the offensive...who knows?

The pagers were manufactured by a company in Hungary. There was a great deal of puzzlement how explosives were inserted in them by Israeli intelligence. Reporters went to this factory to pose that question. There was no one in the factory. Guess why?

Hope the savages aren't reading Dodge Boy and me: I've been thinking about how many women and girls and mentally-impaired little boys will now be on 24-hour call duty, carrying the communication devices. Then it's a win-win: The gutless terrorists survive and their media supporters can print huge headlines: Hundreds of children, mothers blown up by IDF. Of course, they've already thought of this. Wouldn't surprise me if the one "child" killed per the first round of headlines hadn't been killed by Hamas in order to pump up their press coverage.

A tidal wave of cheap Chinese imports floods the national market. Industries reel, companies crumble and factories close their doors for good. The livelihoods of countless families disintegrate. This could be a description of the original “China Shock,” the long-term result of the United States’ policy of “free trade” with China, which cost America 2.4 million jobs between 1999 and 2011. But it also describes what countries across the globe are facing right now: a massive glut of vital industrial inputs and high-value goods, courtesy of Chinese overproduction.

Democrats have complete control of the state government in Colorado. The last Republican governor left office in 2007. The last time Republicans controlled one of the legislature's two chambers was 2019, and Democrats currently hold a supermajority in both the House and the Senate. Over the past decade, Democrats have enacted a number of new gun control laws, including "universal" background checks, a ban on "large capacity" magazines, and a "red flag" law, as well as repealing firearms preemption and allowing localities to pass their own measures more restrictive than state law. So how's that working out for the state?

“When somebody does a bad job, I fire them,” said former President Donald Trump during his recent debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. On the other hand, “They never fired one person. They didn't fire anybody having to do with Afghanistan,” Trump said, referring to the Biden-Harris administration. “Look at the economy. Look at the inflation. They didn't fire any of their economists. They have the same people.” Although Trump’s comment about the Biden-Harris administration’s propensity to not fire incompetent officials who have screwed up royally over the past four years did not garner the attention it rightfully deserves, it certainly struck a chord with me and many more Americans.

Ahead of the second assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, many influential actors, journalists, and influencers warned that Trump is an “existential threat” to democracy, compared him to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, and suggested he or his supporters should face violent attacks. Some continued attacking Trump even after the first assassination attempt July 13. The New Tolerance Campaign, a nonprofit watchdog aimed at confronting “intolerance double standards” practiced by “establishment institutions, civil rights groups, universities, and socially conscious brands,” compiled a list of extreme rhetoric against Trump that may have contributed to the second assassination attempt.

Israel on Friday took out Ibrahim Aqil, the Hezbollah leader behind a trio of bombing attacks that killed more than 250 Americans in the 1980s — as the Jewish state moves toward all-out war with the Iranian proxy group. Aqil – most recently a member of Hezbollah’s highest military body, the Jihad Council – “was eliminated in a targeted intelligence-based strike in Beirut,” the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement. Also known as “Tahsin,” Aqil was a “principal leader” of the cell responsible for both the April 18, 1983, bombing at the US embassy in Beirut, which killed 63 people including 17 Americans; and the Marine Corps barracks bombing

[SNIP] The teachers we spoke with work in CPS elementary schools and say they spoke no Spanish, while their migrant students spoke no English, making communication virtually impossible. They also added that because their schools were located in predominantly Black neighborhoods, they offered no English as a Second Language (ESL) support.
