For Bibi, the perfect confluence of war and politics.

October Surprise book cover, Barbara Honegger.  (January, 1989)

I predict that Israel will create an “October Surprise”event attack with the intent of swinging the election to Trump prior to the November election. The term October Surprise originated after Iran took American Embassy personal hostage in 1979 after overthrowing tyrannical Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. In that event, the Reagan campaign committed treason by negotiating with Iran to hold the American hostages until after Reagan defeated Jimmy Carter by offering them a better deal for badly needed airplane parts and other military equipment. History sometimes repeats itself. Expect Israel to attack Iran in a big way during this month of October. This will force Kamala Harris to take a position, losing either Muslim voters or Jewish voters in the process.

After learning of the Hamas attacks of October 7, who among us could have imagined the level of violence inflicted on Gaza daily for a full year, and who among us thought that the slaughter inflicted by Israel would not only continue, but increase exponentially? Israel 's attack on Lebanon marks an enormous escalation of violence on an innocent population, while the entire population is conveniently demonized by referring to the population as Hezbollah. But Lebanon is simply a stepping stone on the road to war with Iran. Who imagined that the International Court of Justice and the United Nations would provide evidence of Israel's war crimes, and issue an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others.

The American Empire often appears headless with the exception of the enormous power of Anthony Blinken, who as a dual American-Israeli citizen, does not seem to be operating with American interests in mind. After the coming attack, the Empire will want to continue on the same path of providing weapons and support of Israel, support of which resembles a speeding freight train that will be difficult to stop.

According the the establishment media, it appears that this election will be close. It is a mystery how that could be since one candidate is a racist, misogynist, narcissistic petty pig of a man who cheats at golf. A man with Project 2025 in his back pocket. A man that will try to deport millions of people. A man without empathy or education. A man who has already committed treason.

Benjamin NutenYahoo (sic) (aka Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu) wants war with Iran, and needs American support. NutenYahoo badly wants Trump to win the election, having spoken openly of contributions in exchange for Trump's support. Trump is always for sale, so can anyone imagine him opposing the Israel lobby as they fill his pockets with millions of dollars when the cost to Trump would be paid in Palestinian lives?

What card does NutenYahoo have to play? The most obvious is to drive a wedge between Harris and every Muslim voter. Thus, in addition to at least one other target, I predict that Israel will bomb a Mosque and excuse themselves by using the term “human shields”. Harris/Biden would then be forced to side with Israel and lose millions of Muslim voters, or they could force Israel to back down and then face the wrath of the Jewish lobby.

I suspect Harris/Biden could win the election in a landslide by asserting American superiority and forcing an end to the war. The onslaught of AIPAC created propaganda and the effect of turning away wealthy Jewish donors will be terrifying to Democrats. But if you want people in Montana and Kansas to leave Trump en mass, make them voice support for Israel's genocidal campaign of ethnic cleansing. It would not be hard for either candidate to make the case that the carnage is beyond what is acceptable, that the Empire will simply not allow Israel to walk “our” Empire into a war against Iran. In other words, instead of being drawn into this, Harris/Biden could take charge, assert America's control and superiority. Most non-Jewish Americans as well as many Jewish Americans would respond positively to an end to the genocide.

At minimum, we must hope these Harris/Biden campaign is ready to respond to the October Surprise that Israel is about to bequeath to them. It reminds me of the scene in the Godfather, where the mob boss wakes to find a dead horse head in his bloody bed. There are no international norms, no moral qualms, that would prevent Israel from executing it's October Surprise.

What position would Harris/Biden take? Who would decide, President Biden, candidate Kamala Harris or the managers of the Empire led by Blinken? Will anyone push back? Is there any risk to Israel?

The American public has struggled with finding the truth before William J. Casey, CIA Director said in 1981, "We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.". If the event is timed correctly, the public will be overwhelmed with propaganda in the short term, only to be debunked after Trump is installed in the White House, and the American experiment with democracy has ended. We can hope that the American public can discern the game that is being played with our money and our lives, but that is unlikely. Rather, Kamala Harris, with support of President Biden, will have to take a strong stand opposing further violence and bloodshed in order to end the genocide and prevent more slaughter.
