What!? The Shin Bet is Worried?
Theater, friends. Nothing more than first-class political theater.
Saw a great one yesterday regarding the upcoming elections (that won’t happen).
It appears the SHaBaK is “worried”…
Yessiree, they claim that an enemy country may try to influence our beloved elections, undermine our holy democracy, and cast a pall over our fêted (foetid) hike to the polls this November 1st.
You want to worry, too? Feel free, brother. You can catch the fear contagion HERE, HERE, and HERE.
"Operation Defend our Democracy"
Thank GAWD for the SHaBaK!
Because, allegedly, there are — “Iranian and Russian elements who are … trying to create chaos and polarization [here in Israel] through activity on social media and other sources.”
Heaven help us!
That’s right. And the state’s torturer-in-chief, Ronen Bar, believes those kippa-wearing, garlic-eating JEWS also need to be brought into line.
He recently visited with “a series of leading rabbis” to urge them to rein in their uncivilized followers who’ve been engaging in “dangerous discourse” during this “sensitive period”.
Who knows? All those heated talkbacks might set the region ABLAZE!
OK, enough with the sardonics.
Here’s a little analysis…
The Shin Bet’s recently launched Operation Defend Our Democracy is not concerned with either defense or democracy — nor is it benign and loving and good for the Jews.
It has as its goal election-theft — nothing less — as far as that can be achieved by an all-seeing, all-knowing sinister spy agency.
“But you said the election wasn’t going to happen!”
That’s correct. And we’re pleased you were paying attention.
This is what the ShaBaK — like the FBI, the Stasi, the KGB and all other deep-state police organizations — refer to as an ‘insurance policy’. In the event that a mini-war isn’t blazing on Israel’s borders (or within her cities) when the election rolls around, this Page/Strzok contrivance will act as a fall-back to keep the results Erev Rav-positive.
And so here’s what you should be looking for —
Three Possibilities
The ‘operation’ could be preparing the ground for intervention in the process on the side of Herr Lapid (which is precisely what the agency — and the entire Israeli Deep-State — desires). This is not beyond their capabilities. If Russia and Iran (and a handful of chareidi youths!) can foment turmoil before an election — what? the SHaBaK can’t?
It could be preparing the ground for an “illegitimate” outcome, i.e., in the case of a Netanyahu win. That is, they’ll claim there existed such an overwhelming onslaught of foreign intervention that no one should consider the results legitimate. They may even recommend a new ballot in the near future — so deep is their love of democracy. And don’t you know, with all that acrimony and dissension newly injected into the system (aided enthusiastically by a panting mainstream media), how could anyone govern effectively? Remember Donald Trump’s presidency? This one is taken directly from the Comey/Mueller playbook.
Finally, it could be preparing the ground to take credit for successfully fending off the attacks and preserving Israeli democracy, so as to arrogate to the agency ever more power to continue in the fight against “hostile state and other rogue actors” who want to undermine our glorious system of government. Including reining in those obnoxious chareidim, who just can’t seem to quit stirring up conflict with those damned talkbacks of theirs.
Russians, Iranians and Uppity Jews
What’s important to remember is that the Shin Bet controls the flow of information in all directions in the State of Israel.
That is, we have to assume that the agency has intelligence on nearly everything that’s being planned or executed in the security realm at any given moment.
And that’s no exaggeration — this is the most advanced security apparatus on the planet, with the most motivated and dedicated staff, the broadest network of informers and a technological capability that would make even the evil Chinese communists drool.
EVERYONE comes to Israel to learn from the SHaBaK.
And this is the essence of the matter — that agency's decision to either act on that security information and apprehend suspects, or LEAVE THE ACTIVITY TO PLAY ITSELF OUT IN FULL OR IN PART, is what creates the security reality in which we reside day by day.
That is, sometimes it may be in the interest of Herr Lapid to have a security incident occur. And at other times it may be disadvantageous to him.
Sometimes it may be in the interest of Herr Lapid to have foreign actors create havoc on social media, and sometimes no.
Sometimes it may be in the interest of Israel’s ongoing Emergency Powers Act to have a security incident play out. And at other times no.
A mixed Arab/Israeli city start to burn slightly or moderately or wildly, as befits the elites.
Because that’s the way they exercise control.
Everything resides in the hands of the democracy-loving ShaBaK — to decide what will ‘occur’, what will be prevented from occurring, and what events will never come to light.
And everything is calculated with an eye toward what might benefit politician X (or cause X) and what might harm them.
It’s all in their hands.
So when they tell you they’re concerned…
Their not concerned.
They’re planning something.
May Hashem confound their plans, and may they receive their just desert —

LAHAV 433 should investigate this repressive organization. What do you think they'd find?
