When they bomb the hospital I’d say you have a point. But until then it seems to me to be a flex to show how completely compromised Hezbollah’s communications are. Israel are daring them to go get the gold out. (I am giving Hezbollah some credit that they can hide gold slightly better than a cursory glance round some offices by a BBC crew would reveal. I also don’t think it’s unreasonable to believe they would actually hide gold in a hospital but YMMV…)

Obviously if they did move it they would be tracked every inch to their secondary location. It is psyops but - if we’re a little less cynical - I think it’s Israel Vs Hezbollah psyops.

That to me to make a little more sense as a primary motive. Israel wants to discredit Hezbollah leadership above all else. So what better way to do it than advertise that they’re powerless to go and retrieve part of their treasury?

Personally, I would have claimed Hezbollah were using it as a HQ / meeting place. Because there is no physical evidence of that, and it’s far more likely to be taken by people to be a warning of bombing. Which would have the panic effect you mention.

Claiming there’s a pile of gold there is just strange. A) it’s quite easy to show there isn’t (assuming Hezbollah haven’t just moved it already) and b) it’s not really a warning of bombing. One would expect Israel to drop special forces in and confiscate the gold, not blow it up…

It just seems like an odd thing to claim. If it were true it gives Hezbollah notice to move it all somewhere else (which, let’s be neutral, may have happened). If it’s a complete lie, it doesn’t justify bombing a hospital and you just end with journalists like the BBC walking around saying “no there isn’t”.

So either way it just seems like an odd announcement to make.

They haven’t destroyed the hospital though?

I’m not sure what the point of all this is? As if gold was going to be stacked in a broom cupboard or something.

If the bunker is real the entrance is going to be under a dusty mat at the back of an office under a pile of chairs. Not a door off corridor B.

If it’s made up, not sure what Israel gains from that particular lie since it’s so easy for the likes of BBC to put out a video like the above.

Maybe look into the creativity side more and less ‘Google replacement’?

Our propensity to depression is a feature of the human mind, it’s not an inevitable consequence of facts and deduction. Our ‘hardware’ was trained in an environment where mystery abounded, where our ‘clan’ was our universe and where we were immersed in social interaction daily. We are depressed to the degree that modern advances separate us from that, where we thrived. But computers don’t have any of that. Computers won’t, by default, have an amigdala which is the seat of so much emotional regulation that humans find difficult. We are literally old hardware.
