The Dumbest Psyops of All Time?

 

The Dumbest Psyops of All Time?

Mike Whitney 

The Moroccan migrant invasion of Spain might be the most extravagant fake news story of all time. According to the official narrative, the roughly 60,000 mostly military-aged men swarmed the Spanish city of Ceuta on July 31 with the intention finding work and ‘making a better life for themselves”. The obvious truth, however, is that the entire incident was a poorly choreographed slapstick aimed at eroding support for the left-wing Spanish government and its outspoken anti-Zionist president Pedro Sanchez. The puppetmasters behind this pitiable vaudeville are the usual suspects Bibi Netanyahu and “little” Marco Rubio (who aligned with Morocco’s malleable leaders) to manufacture a phony crisis that would ‘teach Spain a lesson’. As you may recall, Sanchez has been sharply critical of Bibi’s ongoing massacre in Gaza and has stubbornly refused to let Trump use Spain’s military bases to transport munitions and bombers to Israel. In response, Netanyahu publicly threatened Sanchez just weeks ago in a thuggish presentation that is still available on X.

Okay, so there is no love lost between Bibi and Sanchez, that’s obvious. It’s also clear is that Netanyahu’s mouthpieces on X loathe the Spanish president equally and are using the so-called “crisis” to rake him over the coals and claim that Spain is getting what it deserves for its “lax” immigration policies and insufficient border enforcement. Here’s a sample of what you’ll see on X from the pro Israel crowd:

There’s no doubt that if there was an Academy Award for condescension and sarcasm, Jess would win that prize hands-down. The question is whether anyone is going to trust the opinion of someone who comes across as so spiteful and arrogant.

By the way, you may have seen the truckloads of young men driven to the outskirts of the city under the supervision of the Moroccan police and then offloaded onto the nearby streets. How could that possibly take place without the explicit knowledge and cooperation of the government? Take a look:

It couldn’t, which is why we should be skeptical that this is just another psyops-hoax concocted by the intelligence mandarins whose only objective is to give the Spanish government a black eye.

Here’s another useful 1-minute summary from Mario Nawfal’s X site:

If you needed any more proof that the US and Israel are terrorists, take a look at this…..That is a clip of thousands and thousands of Moroccans illegally invading a Spanish enclave on the Northern tip of Morocco. And if you are wondering what the US or Israel has to do with this: As usual, everything……

Spain is the only country that has publicly declared their unwillingness to help the US and Israel commit their genocide in Palestine. So, in the last year, Israel has been openly threatening Spain and saying they will have to face consequences for not supporting Israel. And assholes from the US like Marco Rubio have been saying it for the last few months that Morocco should send migrants to Spain, that Morocco should invade Spain… @ MarioNawfal

Here’s more from a well-informed observer who doesn’t pull his punches:

“…Spain is being punished for recognizing Palestine in 2024, for putting a full weapons embargo on Israel, for accusing Israel of genocide at the UN, for restricting their air space during the Iran War…

Bibi threatens Spain with “train accidents and sudden power outages”….

anyone who stands up against Israel “will pay an immediate price”…

Morrocco declared its independence 50 years ago while Spain has owned these cities for 400 years….
Why aren’t we talking about the 700,000 Jewish settlers who are illegally occupying the land in the West Bank and Gaza?

Oddly enough, even the paper of record, the New York Times, appears to corroborate the same damning story. Here’s a blurb from the Saturday edition:

Most of the quality analysis on X draws the same conclusions, although some veer into the more intriguing geopolitical aspects. It’s worth mentioning that this particular psyops is not simply intended to denigrate Tel Aviv’s enemies in Madrid. It’s also part of an Israeli-US “regional strategy that uses “migration as a lever of diplomacy” in order to weaken Washington’s adversaries while strengthening its allies. In other words, there is a deeper undercurrent to the events that are presently unfolding in North Africa. Check out this brief but illuminating clip from Ynet News:

Spain’s refusal to allow the United States access to its….military bases…, and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s confrontational posture toward the Trump administration have collectively generated ….a genuine crack in Spain’s strategic armor over Ceuta and Melilla. Into that crack, Morocco’s most consequential new partner, Israel, is uniquely positioned to press….

In March 2026, Michael Rubin of the American Enterprise Institute…. called on the Trump administration to formally recognize Ceuta and Melilla as occupied Moroccan territory, branding Spain “a colonial power running colonies across the Strait of Gibraltar.” Days later, Representative Mario Díaz-Balart, chairman of the House Subcommittee on National Security and one of Marco Rubio’s closest congressional confidants, declared publicly that the enclaves “are not in the geographic territory of Spain” but rather in Moroccan territory, and that their fate should be “established, negotiated, and discussed between friends and allies.” This was not the fringe speaking. This was the architecture of a coordinated strategic repositioning….

The Abraham Accords transformed Morocco from a quiet interlocutor with Israel into a formal military partner. In January 2026, Israel and Morocco signed a joint military work plan for the year during the third meeting of their Joint Military Committee in Tel Aviv, which the IDF described as deepening cooperation with a “key partner for regional stability.”… This bilateral architecture gives Israel something it has rarely possessed in North African politics: direct strategic stake in Rabat’s regional success.

That stake has an obvious application to Ceuta and Melilla. The Trump administration’s Abrahamic coalition, built around shared opposition to Iran and common economic incentives, has created an operational triangular relationship between Washington, Jerusalem, and Rabat. Israel’s voice in that triangle carries disproportionate weight. When Israeli officials signal alignment with a partner’s strategic interests, that signal registers powerfully in a White House that has placed Abraham Accords expansion at the center of its foreign policy vision. Morocco’s territorial claim over the enclaves is not simply a bilateral dispute with Spain; it is increasingly a litmus test for whether the Trump administration will reward its most cooperative partners over its most obstinate NATO members….

The Abraham Accords created a framework for reconfiguring Middle Eastern and North African alliances in ways that serve American and Israeli interests simultaneously. Helping Morocco recover Ceuta and Melilla would serve that framework and punish a NATO member that has repeatedly chosen obstruction over partnership at the alliance’s most critical juncture.

So now you can better understand the ‘big picture’ which is not just a silly psyops aimed at making Pedro Sanchez look bad. No. This is an expansion of the Greater Israel project which not only includes the nations between the Nile to the Euphrates but a broader and more comprehensive restructuring of the existing order so that Israel reigns supreme across the Middle East and beyond. The war in Iran has not dampened those ambitions at all.

Note: Ceuta is recognized as Spanish sovereign territory by Spain, the European Union, the United Nations, and the large majority of countries around the world. It is an autonomous city, fully integrated into the Spanish state. It has been under continuous Spanish control since the late 16th/17th century. When Morocco gained independence in 1956, Ceuta and the other plazas de soberanía (including Melilla) remained Spanish.

Here is the now infamous tweet by Yair Netanyahu encouraging Arab Islamists to liberate Ceuta and Melilla. Keep in mind, this tweet was published in May 2019, but we are expected to believe that yesterday’s events were purely spontaneous!
