Pepe doublin' down.

VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE I now have TWO separate, definitive confirmations from TWO ultra high level intel sources from TWO separate Asian nations. Working to get a third - at least a partial acknowledgment. I moved to Asia 30 years ago. Built a unparalleled network. Trust my top sources a billion per cent. The original source that led to my first post reconfirmed he stands by it. His words: "I'm honestly surprised that people are surprised. Do they really think if something like this happened it's gonna be presented to them in front of their TVs? It's like history has taught them nothing." Working on a first column - probably out tomorrow. Many thanks to all who offered informed, sharp comment and criticism. This should be a collective effort to get to what might have happened: the shape of it, not necessarily the details as they were leaked.

I agree with the last bit. It's ALL RAW HUMINT.

Perhaps the most important question is why this signaling is occurring (the likes of you and me will never know 'the truth' from any journalist source on the planet these days).

I don't think it's *just* cheap war propaganda, unless Xi decided to burn his man Pepe, throw a big middle finger at the _East Asia Journal_, and sent him this one by way of a 'resignation memo' and 'see in the work camps bitch' sort of thing. China can't be all that happy about OBOR going up in flames.

Maybe the real message to the West is 'Israel didn't actually do this and we all know that. But that doesn't mean if you try this is what Russia and China will do'

Even if 'this is all propaganda' it's every bit as big as Tucker interviewing Putin. But you won't find the 'story about the story' in the Western Press so much, will you.

Pepe Escobar Elaborates on Source Claim that Russia Shot Down an Israeli F-35

Ania K hosted Pepe Escobar and me on a podcast today. Most of our discussion centered on the rise of the BRICS nations and the decline of the U.S. dominated rules based international order. But we also discussed Pepe’s recent report that an Israeli plane carry a nuke destined for Iran was shot down shortly after leaving Jordanian airspace.

Here are the updated facts — Pepe has confirmed the story with three separate sources. So let me explain what this means. Pepe Escobar is not a liar or a fabricator. He is not someone seeking notoriety nor publicity. He is a reporter and is disseminating the story as it was told to him. I hold Pepe in the highest regard. We met for the first time at a conference in Moscow in December 2023 and I knew immediately I had a new friend.

The real question is why the sources are sharing this story. While I agree with Scott Ritter and Ray McGovern that there a major holes in the account that raise questions about its legitimacy, none of us have access to classified information that details the movements of Israeli, Russian and U.S. aircraft on 18 April 2024. So it could be true.

Alternatively, maybe this was a plan of disinformation designed to attack Pepe’s credibility. His reporting on Ukraine and the war between Israel and Palestine has been a thorn in the side of the West. So that is a possible explanation.

I am certain about one thing — the news accounts about Israel’s failed attack on Iran last Thursday does not make sense. We do not have a good account of what happened. Was there a missile strike that Iran defeated? Or was it a small group of quadcopter drones that were shot down? It is not clear. What we do know is that the White House and the Pentagon made a big show of touting Israel’s attack — an attack that Israel now refuses to acknowledge. The breathless reports that kept the U.S. cable news channels churning for several hours then dried up. It became like a scene from the movie, Naked Gun, where Detective Drebin tried to persuade a crowd of onlookers that the explosions and smoke they were seeing was nothing. “Nothing to see here!”
