Those who enthusiastically support US "forever wars" should visit veterans who suffered Traumatic Brain Injuries during the occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq.
Neocons never ask how many lives will be lost or how many injuries will be incurred. They never ask about the financial cost or the effects on energy prices. They never concern themselves with farmland destroyed or famine created. They don't even ask if there are enough munitions in inventory to sustain war. They are one-dimensional thinkers; they are cartoons on newsprint. They have no value except promoting the military-industrial complex. So the question begs: why do so many Americans buy their shit?
Maybe absolute decades of movies praising the power of the USA, complete with blowing stuff up and the 'good guys' always winning, plus kids being told they are in the land of the free all through school might have something to do with it? Just a touch of propaganda...
I also don't think people in general are hard-wired to be logical, or think that much on most subjects. Most people just aren't that deep. Or smart. And the throw-away western society we live in today does not easily accommodate for complexity.
There is little value in today's society. All we are doing is pumping out another generation of throw-away kids, whilst massive structures like the military-industrial complex continue on, unfazed.
You can rage against the machine, yes, but few do, and it's hard-going, and it never makes your life any easier, anyway. The best you're going to get are occasional families or individuals who think and act differently. Society, for the most part, was bought a long time ago.
So yes, people, not just Americans, buy their shit. Most don't even know there are any other options.
I thought most movies were propaganda?! I couldn't see it years ago, but I can now, in almost every movie I watch. There are subtle, and not so subtle, themes in movies. Themes they want to imprint on your brain so society can work the way TPTB want them to work.
And the movies that usually fare the best financially are the big, violent, blow-em-up types...
Keep writing. ❤️ We may not always agree on everything, but we’re learning. Closed minded readers will leave and take their unthoughtful comments with them. Good riddance. I enjoy the open minded debate, though often polluted with the typical brain dead accusations of anti-semitism, etc.
Especially the politicians who start wars but send others to fight. The average person wants to live in peace. That's what motivated the founders to migrate to the New World away from the senseless wars of Europe.
Early leaders also led the troops into battle. Such a far cry from today’s armchair generals.
Every American should be willing to defend the homeland but that hasn’t been the case for hundreds of years. America has a nasty habit of going abroad in search of war like a rabid dog. Lindsey Graham was the leader of the pack…
It is time to read "Silent Weapons For Quiet Wars" Why? Because we are in an undeclared war against humans (and all life). "They" are not morons, idiots, confused, mislead, etc., they are waging war at a scale and diversity never seen before in historical times. Here is the link to the book: https://archive.org/details/silent-weapons-for-quiet-wars_202110/page/3/mode/2up
My guess is it's all vax related. MRNA has a way of collecting in injuries and not letting them heal. It collects mainly in the brain, as much as 10x more than heart or kidneys. It took 30 years to admit Gulf War syndrome was actually a vax injury.
I read and saw a movie saying that gold war syndrome was from the chemicals that the US sold Saddam and then after they bombed them all the world would not see that the US had sold Saddam the same chemicals they wanted him not to have -- there was videos of soldiers finding warehouse full of chemicals in drums labeled USA something on them - those videos was scrubbed - and the places bombed and the wind blowed right onto the military bases.
Yes. Thank you. Squalene, for sure. Washington state’s rep. Jack Metcalf took on the army, ~ 25 years back; “why are we damaging our soldiers with these anthrax shots?!?”
I stayed up with it as frequently covered by both Seattle papers; Times and PI.
A Swiss study concluded microplastics have doubled in the body in the last 10 years. They found it collects in the brain 10x more than heart or kidneys. The plastic is 3D printed by mRNA, quantum dots, etc from the vax among other sources. Forget where I learned about Gulf War syndrome, read it on the internet.
Easy there, big fella... the rude commenters lacking intelligent repartee are self-pruning. Patience, John Leake. They will atrophy naturally. You just continue on, being John Leake, and all will be fine. Thanks for standing up and being counted. We all benefit from your insight, wit and knowledge. I for one, am grateful for all you do.
Thank you for having the courage to write this article. These wars of choice have injured many of our soldiers—some horribly. I have a hard time understanding the lack of concern for the welfare of our soldiers on the part of some commenter's. Maybe they are bots or made by people being paid to create the impression that the American people support these wars. We the people have been voting for peace for decades, yet even when we are promised peace, we just get more war.
I have the feeling these wars are both designed to bankrupt America and to kill and maim America's best and brightest. Not only through combat operations, but also with the vaccination program in the armed forces. This was already having a serious health impact before the mRna vaccines, the anthrax vaccine an example.
The same powers who support the Islamic occupation regime in Iran that terrorizes the West and Asia ( notably the Vatican, the EU portion of NATO, and the WEF), support the promotion of and mandating of questionable vaccines notably the mRNA gene therapies and mass Islamic immigration to the Western countries, Japan, and Korea. The ‘forever wars’ is a consequence of the ‘forever megalomanic’’deep state’ that wants to control our lives the way the Inquisition was able to in Europe and the way the likes of the IRGC control the lives of Islamic countries. ‘Covid’ gave us a taste of what living under a modern Inquisition will be like. Ideologies that promote a Universal approach to life with a Universal authority ( like ‘communism’, Nazism, Islam…) are the problem, and they work together in institutions like the WEF and UN. They prolong the wars through ‘memorandums of understanding’, ‘off ramps’ to false peace, ‘deals’, and ‘accords’. This is how they stay in power through deception.
Pope Francis's proclamation of "moral obligation" to get vaccinated against Covid-19 violated Canon Law 219, which states the Christian faithful have the right to be free from any kind of coercion in choosing a state in life, including an unvaccinated one. Francis's proclamation violated natural law which protects bodily autonomy, and it gave governments around the world the spiritual and moral legitimacy for vaccine mandates that violated the Nuremberg Code of 1947 regarding medical experimentation. Now that we know the Covid vaccines are neither safe or effective, but have in fact killed millions globally, it is time for justice and accountability. The Vatican Court seems like the appropriate venue for this crime against humanity, especially since the deep state will unlikely allow a trial of this nature to be conducted in this country or any other secular state. You take away Satan's power through deception with the truth.
Amazing look at divine judgement. If the Catholic Church wants to remove this stain from her conscience, then the Church must confess. The Vatican Court could provide this opportunity for healing and reconciliation among humanity by exposing the truth and allowing evidence to be presented to the world. Until this happens, the hierarchy of the Catholic Church has lost its moral authority.
Pope Francis no doubt was a victim or the C-jab conspiracy of lies and deceptions. Why anyone would think these shots that were never studied, never proven safe, never tested on humans for more than 3 months should be injected into their bodies is behind logical thinking. Plus 1223 died in the first 3 months of the Pfizer study, not told to the FDA. Yes they lied about that and many other things. Listening to fear, lies and deliberate deceptions is not something anyone should take lightly. Maybe next time logic will preside. I did not comply then, and would not ever comply. There are millions of people dead and/or injured because fear made them comply. How dare the elite evil ones scare people into taking pure poison into their bloodstream. Infuriating.
And I have the right to decide what poisons I put in my body. My body, my choice. Popes aren’t experts on drugs especially those not studied or proven safe. If the pope thinks the C-jabs are necessary then he’s also guilty of crimes against humanity listening to the lies and deceptions with the rest of the evil jab pushers. Millions have died from these poison shots and many more millions have injuries. The pope should stick to praying and stay out of politics and medical advice! It’s not his place nor will I listen to him….
re '.. support the promotion of and mandating of questionable vaccines notably the mRNA gene therapies...'
But mRNA is clearly a US project, Pres Obama said it was too dangerous don't do it - yet it went ahead and was US funded in China - there must have been Presidential cover to go against Pres Obama;; imo VP Biden who later provided a pre-emptive pardon to Fauci.
once again John, why not write of those who know you are right, righteous, and insightful, and caring. i cannot help but think of this hell we have foisted on our own best servants, our military, for the good not of our own country but that of others, as being similar to the Covid shot monstrosity, also something we dont bother to publically address. keep up the posts; you and Tucker keep us honest and focused appropriately.
A friend of a friend was a counselor in the Army during GWOT. She had to quit after a while because she had a mental breakdown dealing with so many suicidal soldiers.
John, this extremely well documented article by Michel Chossudovsky tells you all you need to know about the American Empire's civilian genocides. The mass murder of civilians has been part of U.S. military doctrine since World War II and Washington has attempted to “normalize” this practice in one war after another.
Since World War II, America’s military strategy has deliberately targeted civilians as well as “civilian objects” including hospitals, schools, churches, and residential areas. The evidence is overwhelming.
While this practice is categorized as a crime against humanity, the United States has never been the object of prosecution by the International Criminal Court (ICC). The history of US-led wars confirms that murdering millions of civilians is an integral part of America’s global war agenda.
I knew about this and thank you for reminding your readers. But my question is whether there is any sacrifice worth seeking to kill those who dedicate their lives to killing us?
You sure it's not the US and Israeli governments who want to kill Iranians? See British-Soviet invasion of Iran in 1941 and US arming of Saddam Hussein and providing him with intel to attack Iran in 1980-88
Yes, the Iranian society at all levels began to chant Death to America in 1979, which was 38 years after the invasion of 1941 and one year before we fed Saddam. The Shia hatred of all things Western and Jewish is unconnected to what the US or Israel has done to them.
How would you feel if the Iranian security service overthrew our president in 1953 and installed a puppet ruler with a secret police to enforce his dictates, which were the dictates of Iranian oil companies who wished to maintain the lion share of royalties from our oil and gas resources?
and by the way, who cares if a bunch of revolutionaries in 1979 chanted death to America? Would you die or send your children to die to avenge that insult?
But the "revolutionaries" have been in power since 1979, are the official government of Iran and continue to chant Death to America to this day. Moreover, they fund Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and other proxies globally to carry out their plans but I'm sure you're aware of that.
Your report is not correct. Iran has a relatively small Jewish population of roughly 8,000–10,000 (most scholarly estimates put the core figure at about 9,000). This comes primarily from demographer Sergio DellaPergola’s data in the American Jewish Year Book (around 2024 figures).
Outside of Israel, more Jews live in the US than any other country.
Neocons never ask how many lives will be lost or how many injuries will be incurred. They never ask about the financial cost or the effects on energy prices. They never concern themselves with farmland destroyed or famine created. They don't even ask if there are enough munitions in inventory to sustain war.

So yes, people, not just Americans, buy their shit. Most don't even know there are any other options.
Yeah, I've called it the John Wayne syndrome. Hollywood was used to glorify war, no doubt. People don't realize how much propaganda movies produced.
I thought most movies were propaganda?! I couldn't see it years ago, but I can now, in almost every movie I watch. There are subtle, and not so subtle, themes in movies. Themes they want to imprint on your brain so society can work the way TPTB want them to work.
And the movies that usually fare the best financially are the big, violent, blow-em-up types...
I watch few movies now!
"Neocon" a common euphemism for Zionist.
Less Americans would buy their shit if they saw the nitty-griity reality (this one does actually warrant a warning - a graphic scene from Ukraine):
https://s1.cdnstatic.space/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/kl8.mp4?_=8
Profoundly sad. And completely unnecessary, other than to push agendas that few could comprehend.
I think you answered your own question. Cartoon-level thinking.

Anyone that supports war should have to send themselves along with their children/family members.
It’s unconscionable to advocate for war yet stay in the safety of your own home while you send off other people’s children.
What a scam…
Especially the politicians who start wars but send others to fight. The average person wants to live in peace. That's what motivated the founders to migrate to the New World away from the senseless wars of Europe.
Early leaders also led the troops into battle. Such a far cry from today’s armchair generals.
Every American should be willing to defend the homeland but that hasn’t been the case for hundreds of years. America has a nasty habit of going abroad in search of war like a rabid dog. Lindsey Graham was the leader of the pack…
Their patron saint is the late not-so-great Lindsey Graham.

They said it was all kinds of things, but were forced in the end to admit it was the vax. Probably an early crude version of mRNA is my guess.
The squaline in some of the anthrax shots.
Yes. Thank you. Squalene, for sure. Washington state’s rep. Jack Metcalf took on the army, ~ 25 years back; “why are we damaging our soldiers with these anthrax shots?!?”

But story kinda died with him.
Rumsfeld was the chief chemical weapons salesman.
There’s not a grave more worthy of desecration as Rumsfeld’s. I can honestly say I hate even his memory. Never been a more slappable smile.
(But then, he was probably acting as a whore for those above him.)
do u have a citation for this ?
A Swiss study concluded microplastics have doubled in the body in the last 10 years. They found it collects in the brain 10x more than heart or kidneys. The plastic is 3D printed by mRNA, quantum dots, etc from the vax among other sources. Forget where I learned about Gulf War syndrome, read it on the internet.
Many thanks ... was curious about the connection! Much of the micro is in plastic water bottles, for instance.😞
It's really everywhere, in everything: Food, water, air, soil. You can't get away from it anymore, all you can do is detox.

Volunteer armed forces; enemy-tolerant rules of engagement. That mix results in massive USA casualties.
But not enough.

You do know that Iran has the largest population of Jews outside Israel right? And Israel recently bombed a synagog there ?
And unconnected might seem like that to you - but maybe of you lived there you would understand.
