Before the current war with Iran resumes with full fury, I want to get something off my chest.
Over a year ago, I privately related this thought I had to an acquaintance. Since that time, it has become more than a thought to me. I now believe it is probably likely that the January 2024 Chabad tunnel incident was an attempted false flag which was discovered and thwarted before it could be completed. Until now, I have
never said this publicly to anyone, even anonymously, and I have never looked into others ""theories"" about this incident because I am not interested in reading speculation. I have no idea whether or not anyone else has come to the same conclusion. I would not be surprised if they had done so, as it seems like an obvious suspicion to have, but I have never been interested in finding out.
In January of 2024, a number of Israeli citizens were caught digging a tunnel under the World Headquarters of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement in New York City, a large synagogue. When the tunnel was discovered, concrete trucks were called to fill it in, as the tunnel created a serious risk to the foundation of the structure. Fights broke out, the police were called, and arrests were made. The explanation given through the confusion, which I initially believed, was that this was an attempt to illegally expand the building - and these being Israelis, that is not an unbelievable explanation by any means.
However, since then, I have come to the belief that the real motivation of this project, which must have taken a great deal of very secretive effort, was to destroy the building with people inside and blame it on Iran.
Israel having universal conscription, it is fairly safe to say that these young men were IDF in some capacity. The Israeli MIC has a long history of false flag attacks, including the Lavon Affair in Egypt and the attack on the American USS Liberty in 1967. Whether or not the Mossad bore any involvement in the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, it is a matter of public record that Netanyahu believed that attack was beneficial to Israeli interests, and he eagerly encouraged US wars in western Asia even against Iraq which had nothing to do with 9/11. It is also known that the IDF fired on its own people on October 7, 2023, with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant later admitting that the Hannibal Directive was issued.
I believe that these Israelis dug this tunnel in order to either plant charges or allow the synagogue to collapse. I doubt that most of the regulars at the synagogue were aware of this, and I think that these men, in the employ of the IDF, intended to kill a great many of them. This mass-casualty event in the middle of New York City would then, without any real evidence, be blamed on Iran and compared to 9/11 - the US, then under president Joe Biden, would have immediately launched an ill-conceived war of aggression against Iran using the (fake) Chabad attack as a pretext. In the US, massive crackdowns against "anti-semitism" would have dwarfed even the mass-arrests and suppression which the US gov't has pursued since 2023, with opponents of the stupid, suicidal war with Iran being labeled as "Nazis."
If this indeed was the intention, then it's fortunate that it was not allowed to take place. I don't know whether the person who reported the tunnel was aware of the entire plot or simply called out of concern for the foundations. It's not unlikely that they were themselves a regular at the synagogue, but it's not impossible that they weren't, either. Even if they knew about the motivations, or had the same suspicion that I do, I doubt that they would have wanted to alert the country to something like this, which could, genuinely, have had unironic adverse effects for the Jewish population.
As for the stained mattresses, the high chair, etc.; while they were disturbing images, it's difficult to determine what exactly their significance was. I'm not really interested in speculating along those lines, because the possibility that the Israeli military planned to launch a false flag attack in the US seems more significant and politically plausible given their history and current behavior. Whether or not there was some other creepy stuff going on in light of that doesn't really concern me very much, particularly because Israelis already seem to do rapes so often as it is; by contrast, they at least bother to take a breath between committing false flag terror attacks.
I don't believe the world will ever know if this is true, but it would be interesting if leaks were to come out about it linking this incident to Israeli military or espionage operations. Regardless, the US and Israel now frantically look for excuses, increasingly flimsy, to launch further aggressions against Iran, and these pretexts are remarkably poor.
