"Special Operations And Low Intensity Conflict"
Was That The True Story Of January 6th, 2021?
Having experienced the events of the Oregon Standoff in 2016 then studying the Bunkerville Standoff in 2014 I began to see possibilities beyond Mainstream Media narratives for events called 'domestic terrorism' or something similar like 'insurrection'.
I'm not perfect I could be wrong but I've always smelled something about January 6th at the US Capitol.
I was thinking in that direction this week when a man who was at the Capitol and convicted in the mass prosecutions that followed later pardoned got a Pentagon job.
Elias Irizzary given a position at the "Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict" office at the Pentagon.
Is that a way of letting us all in on the true nature of events at the US Capitol on that fateful and deadly day?

HAVE OTHER MAJOR EVENTS IN RECENT TIMES BEEN MANUFACTURERD?
I sometimes wonder out loud if people in high places think dramatic events crisis type events must be created in the hope of triggering sake of national unity.
I have no proof of such a notion but as we consider events like September 11, 2001 in the USA and October 7, 2023 in Israel that notion comes to mind.
Osama bin Laden worked for the United States in Afghanistan in the 1980's helping to fight the Soviet occupation of that country.
In regards to October 7th the young women in Israel's army looking at the cameras could see the preparations of Hamas for the attack. Yet their warnings were ignored.
Qatar sent money to finance Hamas before October 7th this being allowed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Aides to Mr. Netanyahu were getting money from Qatar between 2021 and 2024 it's now a stalled criminal investigation in Israel.
Having Hamas take over Gaza in the first place served the interests of Israel by keeping Palestinians divided into two factions.

THE SCRIPTURE FOR TOMORROW IN CHURCH INCLUDES A LOT ABOUT 'LOVE YOUR WIVES'...
"Wives, submit to your own husbands as to the Lord.
For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.
Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
Husbands love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,
that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,
so that he might present the church to himself in splendor without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.
In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church.
because we are members of his body.
Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.
This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.
However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband."
