Who profits from the Beirut blast? Making the case that the explosion resulted from an attack — Pepe Escobar


A major problem in approaching this is that Lebanon is a snake pit, and so is the region as a whole. So the presumption is that one or some of the snakes did it. As usual Pepe provides insight based on insider sources. Lots of suspicions but no firm conclusion.

The one sure thing is that further destabilization will result as a consequence.

How much further can they destabilize? Anymore and they'll come full circle to... stabilization :|

I remember Beirut from its civil war days... full circle = civil war.

"How much further can they destabilize? Anymore and they'll come full circle to... stabilization"

And that is the point.

The "end" of destabilization occurs when stability returns and the destabilizers own or control everything. It's a strategy and its worked so far fairly well since WWII. The CIA is charged with it, and they get assistance from the military as the need arises. This is documented to some degree if anyone wants to stick their nose into it, but there is usually "plausible deniability" and that is a key piece of the strategy, too. And not only CIA but also Five Eyes, and MI6 (UK) in particular. Mossad also gets involved when it benefits them, but Mossad is independent with its own agenda.

Empires have always employed secret services and secret police. SOP.

This is Russian spin because it was their ammonium nitrate that caused the thing. BTW, the entire Lebanese govt resigned today.
