Questions About U.S. Intelligence Agencies and Hamas’ Attack
Did the Biden administration knowingly withhold information from Israel about the impending Hamas attack ? What’s the truth behind all this?
From Tablet. The continuing proliferation of conflicting and contradictory stories leaked by U.S. intelligence services regarding what they knew — and, more importantly, didn’t know — about the planning for Hamas’ assault on Israel, is more than just a D.C. bureaucratic comedy act. Taken together, the profusion of leaks suggests there are people in offices and agencies across the Beltway who are worried they’ll be blamed for missing signals and human intelligence outlining plans for the largest one-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. …

“We were not tracking this,” a senior U.S. military official told NBC News the day of the attacks. “There’s no particular reason why the U.S. would be training enormous intelligence assets on Hamas, which has never been a threat to us,” former U.S. diplomat Dennis Ross insisted. …
Ross is wrong: Hamas has long been an obvious threat to the United States and to American lives. Indeed, Hamas violence against Americans is why Congress passed the 2018 Taylor Force Act to prevent the United States from funding the “Pay for Slay” program by which hundreds of Hamas terrorists and their families benefited directly from over half a billion American taxpayer dollars that the United States funnels to the Palestinian Authority. …
It’s also not true the United States doesn’t train enormous intelligence assets on Hamas. As everyone now knows, the NSA collects on virtually everyone in the world. Further, the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East is in Qatar at Al Udeid Air Base, which is also the forward headquarters of U.S. Central Command. The Gulf emirate hosts Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh, and former chief Khaled Mashal. …
So what about the claims that the United States knew nothing about the attack — but that U.S. allies like Egypt were indeed aware, and warned Israel?
None of those stories add up, either.
Egypt is a U.S. listening post, which is why it was strange to hear that the Cairo government had given a heads-up about the attack to Jerusalem but not Washington. … Obviously if the Egyptians did have something on a major Hamas operation designed to murder hundreds of Israelis, especially while Washington was in the midst of trying to broker peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia, they’d have given it to the Americans immediately. …
Yet [misdirection and coverups from] U.S. intelligence bureaucrats raises a larger complication: If the United States was really blindsided by the attack, as Biden administration officials claimed, why are they out there arguing against the idea that the Iranians played an operational role? …
Open-source reporting shows that Biden officials knew for at least half a year that the Iranians were in planning sessions with their terror assets, Hamas and Hezbollah. Back in April, The Wall Street Journal reported that Esmail Qaani, commander of the Quds Force, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps’ foreign terror unit, was meeting in Beirut with Haniyeh and Hezbollah General Secretary Hassan Nasrallah. …
The United States can’t possibly have not known about this meeting, and could have easily followed up directly on the purpose of it, given its capacities inside Lebanon. The Biden administration has allocated $72 million to pay the salaries of both the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) and the country’s Internal Security Forces (ISF). …
According to an Oct. 13 New York Times article, Hamas fighters who flew paragliders into Israel to massacre Jews did their training in Lebanon. It seems highly unlikely that the United States, with intense intelligence operations right there, somehow missed the hordes of paragliders all of sudden randomly flocking to do training in Lebanon at the same time. …
According to an Oct. 13 CNN report, U.S. intelligence agencies produced assessments of Hamas’ activities in the days leading up to the attacks that were based on what the Israelis told them. But “it is unclear if any of these U.S. assessments were shared with Israel.” …
Let’s pray that U.S. intelligence agencies will have wisdom about the information they receive and what they are then to do.

Lord God bring justice to this wicked country by bringing the truth to all Americans, instead of this twisted governmental lies and manipulation!!!
Lord, expose all evil plots and plans of the enemy, in Jesus name.
If you can find The Caroline Glick Show on JNS TV online, I highly recommend her comments titled, “The Real (and Awful) Reason Biden is Coming to Israel.” They made a lot of sense to me, although of course I have no way to verify them. I’m afraid they fit into what we know already all too well – but are absolutely chilling.
Found it on YouTube.
The fact that we have no confidence in our government and media to tell the truth says it all. Now we need to correct this problem which threatens all the faithful.
May truth be revealed, and justice be done, LORD. It is in You we trust. Grant to us, the body of Yeshua, discernment and wisdom in this world so filled with lies and deception. Holy Spirit, may our ears and eyes and minds be open to Your direction and instruction in trust and obedience.
Thank you Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, for all Intercessors and for hearing our prayers to keep America free and alive in your love. Amen
