The starvation of Gaza is a manmade catastrophe that shames us all
Editorial: It is in Israel’s interest to allow humanitarian aid to come into what the UN has called ‘the hungriest place on Earth’. The rest of the world must make Netanyahu see senseEditorial (The Independent)

in reply to son of sam harris • • •It's likely that Americans who'd want to radically reshape the US (and the same principal will hold in other nations) would make use of foreign and dual nationality individuals because those people will have less misgiving about following radical paths.
For instance, in the UK we've had government ministers who were likely picked up by our security services and selected for power at a young age from abroad. Those people won't care about preserving a way of life.
There's likely political value here in portraying this as an external attack, but is it _only_ that? Could they get away with this if the most powerful local forces did not see this as beneficial to them? I doubt it.
Although much smaller in scale, an analogy here would be the role played by the Israelis in taking down Corbyn for installing Starmer as leader of the UK Labour party. I expect the UK security services approved this on behalf of their backers: co-opting foreign nationals and embassy staff then provides a kind of plausible deniability.
And perhaps that deniability is why the script was written like this.

They'd only do that if Americans in prominent positions accuse them of operating an attack as assets of India. Is that even likely to happen?

Unknown parent • • •He's good. I admit to only having listened to a few of his podcasts. I can't say many others have heard of him. I think one other person mentioned him to me at work one time, possibly around 2021.
I read Alford and Secker's National Security Cinema. They totally missed the transhumanism angle on Avatar, regarding it as a pacifist film which slipped through the net.
Films are Not Your Friends, which used to be on Youtube was my eye-opener on the scale of the security state interference in movies and TV.
He did a good podcast on the Manchester / Aria Grande event. Contrasts with the angle taken by Richard D Hall and Iain Davis, though not necessarily contradictory.
