 This morning Gimlet Eye had left me a message:

Gimlet EyeFebruary 9, 2017 at 1:23 AMOff topic, but you'll want to see this report from Corbett, skip to 6:00 and watch for ~1min if you're short of time-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z42sClWyqhU

Obviously I went to watch the video and to my surprise 6:00 minutes in, what appears?Why it's my blog!!

PennyFebruary 9, 2017 at 5:53 AMHi Gimlet Eye!Well that was a surprise.! And sort of funny to see..Thanks for letting me know that post was included in the video- For readers James Corbett included the post below in a recent video. http://pennyforyourthoughts2.blogspot.ca/2017/01/cia-documents-confirm-… went back to look at, just like james, I said read the documents for yourself and share some thoughts...

The Corbett Video :What I Learned From The Declassified CIA Archive The link to my post is embedded/highlighted in this paragraph from the accompanying article

"The third category is more insidious. It’s the route Ynetnews takes in its report on what CREST’s Kissinger archives reveal about the lead-up to the Yom Kippur War. To hear Ynetnews tell it, you’d think that the documents (which they only provide screen shots of, no links to) confirm the official take that this was an unprovoked surprise attack by the Arab aggressors against the innocent Israelis. Other outlets, however, come to the complete opposite conclusion from the same documents: “that Israel desired and planned for the war—despite the US asking them, more then [sic] once, not to pre emptively strike other nations.”

One thing I learned from the CIA info release is.... read the documents for yourself. Always.  When I read the documents included in the post it was not possible for me to draw the same conclusions that Ynet had presented- And finally- Thank You James Corbett.  It's was nice that James noticed the documents did not confirm the claim made by Ynet. The Corbett Report is linked in the sidebar.
