Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
The US and Israel have been discussing plans to build a canal to rival the Suez Canal for over 50 years. We must look at recent history to see the motives for the war occurring today. Around 20% of all world trade moves through the Suez Canal, which is controlled by Egypt. The Suez Canal was initially jointly controlled by French investors and Egypt. Isma’il Pasha was forced to sell Egypt’s shares to Britain amid a liquidity crisis in Egypt. Former Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser reclaimed the lucrative trade route in 1956, sparking the second Arab-Israeli war also known as the Suez Crisis.
The West does not want to rely on Egypt, a close ally of Russia, for world trade. The Ben Gurion Canal Project, or Israeli Canal, has been the proposed solution since the 60s. Where would this canal be located? Part of it would flow precisely through the Gaza Strip. The passage would start by the port city of Eilat in Israel through the Gulf of Aqaba, crossing the Jordanian border and flowing through the Arabah Valley before entering the Dead Sea before heading north around the Gaza Strip.
Declassified documents reveal that the US Department of Energy was planning to take extreme measures to make this canal possible. On July 1, 1963, a plan was outlined to create the Israeli Canal by detonating 520 underground nuclear explosions throughout the Negev Desert. “Such a canal would be a strategically valuable alternate to the present Suez Canal and would probably contribute greatly to the economic development of the surrounding area,” the declassified document stated.
The document notes that 130 of the 160 miles dedicated to the canal are “virtually unpopulated desert wasteland,” but the primary issue would be relocating those from the Gaza Strip. “Another problem which has not been considered is that of political feasibility, as it is likely that the Arab countries surrounding Israel would object strongly to the construction of such a canal,” the declassified papers show.
Follow the money, always. The West does not want Egypt and, therefore, Russia to have control over world trade and the movement of goods. The plan was never executed because they knew no Arab nation would agree to such a power grab, and those 30 pesky miles of densely populated land mostly belonged to Palestine. This is all because the Neocons are hell-bent on isolating Russia but at the expense of dividing the world. Is this why Blinken is saying there will be no peace in Israel and Ukraine?
This is all tied in with Yemen, and there is so much more going on behind the curtain that would shock people on all sides. We will deal with the real complexity in a Special Report for the WEC Nov 17-19.

As my pops would say, ” now we’re getting down to the brass tacks”.
Egypt has the Suez canal.
Israel will have the Jewez canal
Wow!
And the single improvement is… {drumroll} …Egypt cannot close the canal at will anymore.
Meaning all other along the Red Sea etcc. can do just as before. What a massive reason to build that new canal ASAP!!
“…reveal that the US was planning to take extreme measures to make this canal possible…”
Thought it was fomenting Civil war in Columbia that led to the Pan…Sorry!
Wrong Canal/Time
FWIW the Province of Panama actually had tried, by force of arms, to remove itself from Colombia once or twice… before Uncle Shmuel decided to help move things along.
The west does not want Egypt / Russia to have control. OK , but then why did we give away the Panama canal to China ? Why one and not the other ?
Such schmart people in the USSA government. Fucking jeenyusses.
Fecking Eejits.
Wait, What?
I thought the Jews ran everything.
That means they already have a canal.
The Suez canal.
Make up your minds people, do the Jews run everything or not?

The label “dirt-people” is earned by those who are covered in mud.
What will the solution be when CCP takes Panama Canal which is very close to happening?
Northwest passage through Turdeau’s frozen – hell, Canader?
“Very close to happening”, Yeah, like two decades ago.
Elon is going to build a tunnel, he is just waiting for the federal subsidies. The all new Tesla canal boats are on the drawing board as we speak. It uses the same technology that is used at his base on Mars.
Al-sisi is a jew from his mothers side. No need for the duplicate canal after he got raised to power.
Think of the tolls!
They claimed to have builr a temple to jehovah in Jerusalem thousands of years ago.
I gaurantee you, the “wailing wall” is all that has ever been built.
It has been used to raise funds to “rebuild the temple” dozens of times.
The fundraising wouldn’t work if there was a temple there now, would it?
pretty sure that ‘wall’ is the remains of a roman fort

Interesting thesis no name
Pennies from heaven.
I know what to fill the canal with.
Your map shows it wouldn’t have been gone through Gaza. You would have fooled more people if you didn’t include the map. Just another burning platform Jew hater.
