GHF’s private security partner, Safe Reach Solutions (SRS), is run by Philip Francis Reilly, a former head of the CIA’s covert action – “special activities” – unit with experience of training insurgencies such as Nicaragua’s right-wing Contras militias.

Safe Reach first began operating in late January, leading a vehicle inspection checkpoint effort along the Netzarim Corridor splitting northern and southern Gaza with another private security contractor, UG Solutions.

Both companies have been urgently recruiting former intelligence officers and special forces veterans to run their Gaza operations.

It's a who's who of private equity funding, ex-CIA intelligence officers, "special ops" military veterans, Evangelical preacher and PR expert, and twenty-something know-nothing Trump advisor pushing the State department to fund GHF as a high Trump priority. This is simply a military operation aiding Netanyahu's war goals masquerading as aid.

Blood for Food indeed.

I notice there are the usual threads elsewhere from the usual suspects still trying to make it seem like this is all Hamas' doing.
