Not a fan of entertaining this line of thinking, even if motives are noble. There are too many entities out there with the will and the agency to ride a very fine line between happenstance crises and exploiting, reframing, or even manufacturing crises.
It sounds like a form of historic pragmatism, like what was utilized in the Project for the New American Century from the 1990s. In their thinking, a "new Pearl Harbor" must occur on U.S. soil to kick Americans out of complacency and initiate them into the new paradigm of American global hegemony over against competing and hostile interests abroad. Which then magically happened in the new century.
This all goes back to the justification of thinking behind Operation Northwoods. JFK died, in part, for opposing such evil thought experiments.
Communists and fascists both have used this kind of mass psychology to great effect over the years.
People who are not "awake" don't need something extraordinary. They need encouragement and argumentation to utilize common sense and experience of what's already around them, to question question question, and hopefully come to new personal breakthroughs.
Quick Thinking = Don't drive around at night in border town MX in the first place. For reasons like this, not to mention much more likely to get into any kind of collision at night. Tijuana is a border town you pass through in the day time to get to better destinations, unless you're going to a cheap dentist or vet in town.
These are low level goons who pull crap like this, not the "cartels" per se. Just like the mafia, the cartels run more of the legit businesses, the restaurants, the amenities, etc. and they want American tourists to get there, have a good time and spend their money. It's local scammers and thieves who don't care about Mexico's reputation to gringos.
Not true, this doesn't happen very often. I cross several times a year with my family, as do tens of thousands of other Arizonans and Californians.
Just don't cross at night, scammers and bad hombres can be active on stretches of roads.
Ok I can't believe this is still a thing, but if you are taking the highly specific numerology in the book of Revelation as literal sums like you're reading accounting books, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.
The apocalyptic literary genre has to be read on its own terms and not our own fancy theories and assumptions about how WE use numbers in certain contexts now.
Sheesh.
Cartels hire local U.S. citizen teenagers with a significant amount of cash (for a teen) to pick up / drop off illegals at various designated locations. They also do decoy runs to deliberately get BP on their tail while the real smugglers drive in a different direction with illegals.
Because the teens face criminal consequences for their assisting with transporting illegals, if BP is on their tail, they will usually end up in a high speed chase because they're dumb enough to think they can get away at that point. So of course they speed through red lights and zig zag down Arizona highways which are a bit dangerous already. Plenty of serious collisions have resulted.
Absolutely.
Would there be much disappointment on the day of his return, revealing in human form a short-ish, flat nosed, dark skinned Palestinian phenotype with none of the Northern European photogenic, chiseled Chad vibe?
"He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
"He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem."
Isaiah 53:2-3
The opposite. Owens is, imho, making deliberately asinine arguments at just the right time, after being re-platformed and making legit points about Palestinian genocide, when her words have maximal reach, then immediately goes full retard "just asking questions", so that for normies any criticisms of Israel / Zionists / etc will be associated with the Hitler / Nazi rehab, blue eyes fallacies, la la land crap.
It's a predictable strategy, so she's likely a Zionist asset, tbh.
Think about this brief exchange of tweets between Musk and Bukele a few weeks ago.

It's highly curious Musk never replied to Bukele's follow up question.
A little more nuanced than that. Ritter maintains that Iraq HAD WMDs in the late 80s etc, but by the time of his inspections all evidence pointed to none of them being around anymore.
He has experience and intelligence when criticizing Zionism, its bane on U.S. foreign policy and well being, its atrocities against Palestinians, etc. So because he has some of the most informed analysis behind his assessments, he is considered a huge threat to status quo narratives, so he's a priority target from the uniparty.
So what. Her followers are habitual consumers not intentional thinkers. If they did not already see a Kamala endorsement coming from TS, they're not really paying attention at all are they.
