Last week, Patrick Byrne published a short video offering the first fact-based theory for Israel’s massive, inexplicable October 7th intelligence failure. And it’s a doozy. I’ve summarized it below if you don’t have time to watch the whole clip.
Between what Patrick said and what he didn’t say but strongly implied, the short version is that, following the summer battle over Israel’s leftist Supreme Court, Biden (i.e. Obama), U.S. intelligence agencies, and Israeli intelligence agencies undermined Israel — to get rid of Benjamin Netanyahu.
In case you aren’t familiar with him, Patrick Byrne is a brilliant polyglot, former McKinsey consultant, entrepreneur, founder of Overstock.com, and now conservative influencer. He got involved in the Trump elections debacle, personally funding and supervising elections audits all over the country. Significantly for this story, he’s an experienced software developer and works with lots of Israeli software firms (Israeli is the current world headquarters of advanced software development).
Patrick claimed to have firsthand insider information from his Israeli contacts.
The gist of Patrick’s theory is that former Obama officials Dan Shapiro (Obama’s ambassador to Israel), Avril Haines (Obama deputy assistant), Anthony Blinken (Obama deputy
assistant), and Michele Flournoy (Obama undersecretary of defense) began representing an Israeli cyber-security software developer called Paragon. Paragon develops top-secret security tools for Israeli’s defense industry.
After the former Obama officials got involved with Paragon, and continuing through the Biden regime, the U.S. has systematically targeted all of Paragon’s competitors using a variety of federal procurement tools and sanctions, forcing them either to close or sell off their assets to Paragon or the U.S. intelligence agencies.
At this point, Israel depends on one single security software provider, Paragon, a fact that the country’s intelligence agencies have warned is a critical security risk. And that one software provider is deeply connected to Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Paragon is also linked to former Israeli Prime Minister and sworn Netanyahu enemy Ehud Barak, who visited Epstein Island “on business” over 30 times, which means that he is almost certainly a blackmail pawn of the U.S. and Israeli deep states.
During the spring, Netanyahu led a conservative takeover of Israel’s government following a disastrous leftist cycle. One of the new conservative government’s first projects was to prune back a law allowing Israel’s Supreme Court to overturn any democratically-passed legislation that the Court felt was inconsistent with Israel’s values — a blank check. The reform — which was ultimately successful — was opposed by none less than the U.S. deep state and one Joseph Robinette Biden.
And, although officially denied, leaked documents showed the conservative reforms were also opposed by members of Israel’s own top security agency, Mossad:
To pull the threads together, what I think Patrick is suggesting (without explicitly saying so) is that the U.S. deep state, working with the Israeli deep state, engineered October 7th.
They did it to punish Netanyahu for the Supreme Court reforms, and to purge Israel’s new conservative government. The deep state termites may have accomplished it by sabotaging Israel’s security software, on which the country is almost completely dependent.
Admittedly, it’s a bold, 9/11-level conspiracy theory, but so far it’s the only fact-based theory going.
