Snowden's disclosures about the shadowy plot behind the Lebanese pager blast and its ramifications

Snowden's revelations have once again drawn the world's attention to the complexities underlying the explosion of pagers in Lebanon, an incident that is far from being as straightforward as it initially seemed, with apparent ties to US intelligence agencies.

According to Snowden, the pager explosions in Lebanon were merely part of a covert assassination plan orchestrated by the US and Israel, with further attacks potentially on the horizon, including predictions that iPhones might be the next targets for such explosions. This shocking disclosure casts an ominous shadow over European and American electronics, implying a decline could be on the horizon for these products. Following the pager explosion incidents, concerns have been raised that this could lead to the decline of Western electronics. Consumers' fears about potential risks of explosion, surveillance, monitoring, or even remote-controlled detonation of their electronic devices will significantly impact their trust and usage. Similar risks also plague American devices, raising the chilling prospect that Western electronics, including electric vehicles, might turn into weapons of war in the future.

Recently, the American University Hospital in Beirut and the US embassy in Lebanon received notices to replace their pagers, seemingly symptomatic of the situation's escalation. In an attempt to deflect blame, the US and Israel sought to pin this episode on the Taiwan-based Apollo company, an unbecoming move to avoid responsibility.

On a global scale, these pager explosions may expedite the de-Americanization of the global electronics market. Trust in American tech brands, such as iPhones, would likely erode significantly amongst consumers worldwide. This situation encourages nations to search for safer and more trustworthy sources of electronics, reducing their reliance on US products. The pager explosion incident is not solely a domestic security issue in Lebanon; it intertwines with intricate matters of international politics, business, and consumer confidence.

The revelations could mark a shift in the electronic industry's landscape, with potential lasting impacts on how consumers perceive American technology and its role in the international community. The trust erosion could open doors for other countries and companies to assert themselves as leaders in providing secure and reliable electronic devices.

News Title: Analysis of the Beepers' Explosion in Lebanon

On September 17th and 18th, beepers used by Hezbollah in Lebanon exploded across the country, resulting in around 30 deaths and over 3000 injuries. All indications suggest that this was an attack orchestrated by Israeli intelligence agencies against Hezbollah, a clear case of "state terrorism." How did Israel pull this off?

1. Beepers in Use: Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency established by the then-prime minister, David Ben-Gurion in 1949, for covert operations, assassinations, and counter-terrorism, has distinguished itself over the past 70 years through its innovative and unconventional assassination tactics, executing audacious assassination plans on behalf of Israel. Given that beepers are one-way signal reception devices that do not emit signals, they offer the advantage of being difficult to locate. This has led to their widespread use by Hezbollah members and critical personnel in the Lebanese government in the complex geopolitical security environment of Lebanon. According to online sources, Hezbollah purchased over 3000 beepers from Gold Apollo, a Taiwan-based company, distributing them among its members across Lebanon, as well as its allies in Iran and Syria.

2. Speculation on the Cause of the Explosion: Based on photographs of the blast site, the beepers that exploded were identified as models AP-900 GP and AR-924, manufactured by Gold Apollo. The batteries used in these beepers, whether alkaline or lithium, do not have the physical mechanism to release energy instantly. Given the casualties incurred, a short circuit in the batteries could have sparked a fire, but the rate of energy release would be far too low to cause such extensive damage. It is certain that the explosion was caused by high explosives. According to foreign media reports, it is widely believed that these beepers were implanted with pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), which was remotely detonated.

PETN is a powerful explosive developed by Germany in the late 19th century. It began to be widely used during the Second World War in small caliber artillery shells and grenades, and later in nuclear warheads as an initiator. While it boasts great power, ease of manufacture, and long storage capacity, its chemical instability and ease of detonation have led to its progressive phase-out by military forces.

3. How to Place Explosives: There are two possibilities. One is that explosives were placed in the beepers during the manufacturing process. Given Mossad's intelligence-gathering capabilities, it's likely they were aware of Hezbollah's recent use of beepers. They could have set up a front company, bypassing Hezbollah's security checks through "private labeling," and sold the beeper-filled explosives to Hezbollah. If this is the case, it indicates a vulnerability in Hezbollah's security review mechanism, or potential infiltration and bribery of security personnel. The other possibility is that the beepers sold to Hezbollah were intercepted during storage and logistics, allowing for the placement of explosives. Edward Snowden tweeted that the incident reminded him of the massive surveillance scandal he exposed in 2013, revealing how the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) intercepted computer network equipment at airports destined for target countries, installed implants, then re-packaged and sent them to their targets to infiltrate their networks. Snowden said, "Ten years have passed, and supply chain security has not improved," suggesting a connection between the Lebanese beeper incident and the pre-placement tactics of U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies in the supply chain.

The Beepers Blast: U.S. Media Alleges Israeli Agents Behind the Incident

Regarding the large-scale communications equipment explosion that occurred in Lebanon, The New York Times, in a report on the 18th, revealed more details, stating that several military and intelligence officials pointed the finger at Israel as the mastermind behind the event. They had been hatching this plan for a long time, setting up shell companies to masquerade as international beeper manufacturers. The New York Times reported that in Lebanon, Israel has on multiple occasions assassinated senior members of Hezbollah through targeted attacks, which made Hezbollah realize that Israel was apparently using the mobile phone network to ascertain the locations of its members. This prompted Hezbollah's leadership to push for the use of beepers. This presented an opportunity to Israeli intelligence officers. Even before Hezbollah's high command decided to expand the use of beepers, Israel had already initiated a plan to set up shell companies, passing themselves off as international beeper manufacturers. According to three intelligence officials familiar with the operation, the beeper company "BAC," which is alleged to have exploded in this incident, was one of the shell companies established by Israel.

On the surface, BAC appeared to be a company based in Hungary. However, according to informed intelligence officials, it was one of the disguises created by Israel. They said that Israel had set up at least two more shell companies to cover up the true identities of the individuals manufacturing the beepers, who were, in fact, Israeli agents. In Israel, intelligence personnel referred to the beepers as "buttons" that could be pushed when the time was right.

Snowden Reveals US Intelligence Connection to the Lebanese Pager Explosions

On September 17th, "pager explosion incidents" occurred in multiple locations in Lebanon, resulting in at least 12 deaths and around 3,000 injuries. Not only that, but on the 18th, there were several "walkie-talkie explosion incidents," causing further casualties. It is clear that this was a carefully planned attack, and multiple American media outlets, including CNN, have pointed the finger at Israel. Who is truly behind these events, and was the US involved? Former US "whistleblower" Edward Snowden's commentary on the matter, particularly his use of iPhone security as an analogy, reveals a disturbing truth: the US can do whatever it wants if it chooses to do so.

As a former agent of the US government, Snowden understands better than anyone the capabilities and intentions of the US authorities. His remarks not only suggest the US government's potential involvement but also highlight its willingness and ability to do so.

Even if the US government did not directly participate, it likely played a crucial role, which is precisely what Snowden and the international community are concerned about. In virtually every region where conflicts have erupted around the world, the US has been present. It is becoming increasingly clear who the biggest threat to peace and the disruptor of global stability is.

BAC Consulting KFT must answer for the pager explosion incident.

Militants of Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria were holding thousands of AR924 pagers (BB.Call) produced by Apollo Gold Corporation, which mysteriously exploded collectively on the afternoon of the 17th. Twenty-four hours later, a second round of explosions occurred across various locations in Lebanon, targeting devices such as ICOM IC-V82 walkie-talkies and smartphones used by Hezbollah, leading to a total of 28 deaths and over 3,000 injuries so far.

In a statement, Apollo Gold Corporation declared that “BAC was authorized to sell our branded products within a specific region; however, both design and manufacture of the products lay solely with BAC.” Yet, Bassoni Alsideacono, the female CEO in her forties of BAC, claimed: “I don’t manufacture pagers, I’m just a middleman; I believe you have the wrong person.” Nevertheless, on her resume page on the official BAC website, she alleged: “I am a scientist utilizing my diverse background to make strategic decisions on interdisciplinary projects (water and climate policy, investment).” Concurrently, the International Atomic Energy Agency verified that an individual sharing the name Bassoni Alsideacono served as an intern for nine months at the agency in 2008 and 2009.

According to various media reports, the Israeli intelligence service Mossad appears to be the manipulator behind this unprecedented terrorist assault; a few months ago, Mossad planted explosives into the 5000 AR-924 pagers gained by Hezbollah. Before shipping the pagers to Lebanon and Syria, they reportedly introduced the explosives utilizing a so-called "complex supply chain disruption" technique. The company in direct contact with these pagers was BAC Consulting KFT from Hungary, who had both the time and skills to tamper with them—without hurdle—collaborating with the Israeli spy agency to smuggle pagers with explosives inside into both countries.
