there are tens of millions of Americans who voted for America first who have been seething over this administration's complete and utter surrender to Israel. I pray this is the damn breaking. We are all sick and tired of being lied to. This is perhaps the greatest deception ever perpetrated on our citizens in American History

Roger Kimber, MD's avatar

Really? Gulf of Tonkin? Pearl Harbor? Biden’s ‘competency’? 2020 election? CIA involvement in Kennedy assassination?

Matrix2008's avatar

Don't leave out Israel’s involvement in JFK’s assassination (declassified documents are readily available) as well as 911. 💯 Really. From the escalator ride down in 2015 to today. We've never had a president with so much documentation laying out exactly how he was going to put America first with endless rallies and endless campaign promises laid out in black and white. Can you name one America first tenant that hasn't been broken?

So, you would rather have had Kamalalalala in the Oval Office????

Really?

there is no party. The last president who attempted to show the difference between parties was assassinated.

Roger Kimber, MD's avatar

Well they certainly tried their hardest to assassinate our current president (& anyone who paid any attention to the details around the Butler, PA attempt sees all kinds of inside deep state fingerprints all over that.)

Katrina's avatar

The truth Roger is that it makes no difference. Left and right are both exactly the same. People are watching theatre and nothing more. Outside forces, other than those you vote for (and delude yourself into thinking you actually made a choice) are running the country. The Zionists are in charge.

Roger Kimber, MD's avatar

I beg to differ with you: DiSantis is not the same as G Newsom.

So , please, define Zionist and give examples.

How is their control manifest?

Who would you rather be running the country?

Thanks in advance.

Katrina's avatar

Review history Roger…real history…not what mainstream gives you. Read creature from Jekyl island, look into the Rothchilds, Rockefellers, Gates crew, et al. They are all eugenicists and they own everything. Yes, they and others of their ilk are all Zionists and they pretty much run everything because they own it all…including the education system, mainstream media and politicians.

Good for him for standing up for what he believes. It shouldn't take long now for him to be ridiculed, spoken badly of, and stated that he is a total loser...that it is a good riddance on Truth Social. That is the standard for anyone who speaks against the administration's policies and actions and speaks against Israel. He will probably even be labeled as antisemitic and a traitor with demands that he be put in jail along with Tucker, Kelly, Rogan, and others.

I agree with him. “No new wars” means just that. This is Israel’s war, but the Mossad has probably compromised so much of our government through Epstein and others that we were sucked in.

The same people pushing this war imported Islam into the interior of our Homeland. This war is to further enrich bankers, as have been most of the wars throughout history. It’s not free: wealth is being transferred from the struggling middle class to the elite, once again. Trump let us down.

prsmith's avatar

That is false. Trump closed the borders and is actively removing as many of the villains as he can find. We did...over a very long period of time culminating in the tens of millions that Biden invited in during his term in office. Now we've got to clean up the mess. ICE needs a free hand to do that and anyone who interferes should get a minimum of a year in Federal detention and a felony on their record.

letterwriter's avatar

No we haven't been. Post WW2, the US had an excellent reputation in the entire Middle East and was highly esteemed by all nations and post-Ottoman protectorates there. It was the Jewish Zionist lobby which destroyed all of that, for their own gain, at our expense. Working from the inside, these traitors degraded the Supreme Court (Brandeis), involved Truman in multiple treasons, from gun-running to quid pro quo cash for policy, to "recognizing" the Jewish terrorist militants as a "state" against the advice of his entire 1947-48 State Department.

The story is outlined in this book

https://archive.org/details/weir-alison-against-our-better-judgment-the-hidden-history-of-how-the-u.-s.-was-_202404/mode/1up , 'Against Our Better Judgment' and the footnotes and archives contain even more than this author discusses.

Before even reading this book I had been reading in the State Department archives and it appears simply from the memos in 1947-1948 that Chaim Weizmann is the one who engineered a feeling of alarm within our analysts about "Russia", and also that he played a triple cross in which he used a (known double loyalty) British MP to set up the USA to clean up the political mess that Zionists were about to create by attacking the Palestinians.

Our State Dept knew all along that the Jewish Zionists would attack and then come running to the world, claiming that they were the victims.

We would have been able to stop all of this from happening and we would have had mutually beneficial mercantilist relationships with the entire Middle East, if it weren't for a small handful of zealots.

In cold point of fact, the Islamic fundamentalism didn't even exist at that time, and only arose decades after the Jewish terror regime began calling itself "Israel", and the inhabitants of the region tried many other organizing principles first, before religion became the one that stuck. This is no surprise given the immense sorrow which the repeated Jewish Zionists attacks created in every land which they coveted. Religion is often the solace of the grieving. Even so, it was incredibly slow to take root.

Compared to the speed at which Jewish fundamentalism--Zionism-- rose in Central/Eastern Europe aka West Asia, the Muslim turn to intensified religion was glacial. But Judaism has always been organized around "ethno"nationalist supremacy and applause for rapine and slaughter in pursuit of territorial gains, so it's no surprise that as soon as the countries of modernizing Europe asked Jews to assimilate in exchange for the civic freedoms-of-the-public-square they kept demanding, the "pious" Zionist Jews would fly into a rage and develop their aggressive nationalist program.

By contrast, Islamic faith is universalist like Christianity and ethnic separatism and violent territorialism aren't integral to its beliefs.

~ ~

[In fact, Wahhabism developed from Donmeh Judaism, an offshoot of the same Sabbatean messianism which produced Hassidism which produced Religious Zionism. Wahhabism is Zionism's brother and its proponents are Ashkenazi come south to the Middle East looking for territory and dominion as always. The confusion they proclaim, of being the only valid Islamic belief system, is just false. And the origins in Donmeh are why the House of Saud is cooperative with Israel. Fast forward to their mutual involvement in scamming the USA via 9-11. We should never mistake Wahhabist bloodlust for Islamic belief. But that's its own set of historical threads.]

Wow!! What a load of crap. You missed the entire thrust of my post. Most of what you listed here is irrelevant and much is simply false.

letterwriter's avatar

Wow! The State Dept memos are entirely true, zealot :). The problem is, religious maniacs never step forward into modernity. They can't see the actual situation of modern Arabs in 1948 wanting normal trading relationships with countries worldwide, because they think everyone is still running around in linen robes and chainmail hollering that their pope is best. Of course modernity isn't relevant to people with that set of OCD phantasms filling their fields of view. Modernity is nevertheless where we were. Jewish Zionism was the first to start trying to drag us backwards. It began in the 1830s, and hasn't stopped since.

Here's an American Zionist article from 1914, explaining their medieval "piety" in detail: https://archive.org/details/no5maccabaean24zionuoft/page/142/mode/2up

Generally, the entire world. Specifically the West and Christianity. You're obviously of the uneducated ilk that believes the bullcrap about the Crusades being nothing but evil conquering, not the defense from the invading muslim barbarians who were raping and beheading their way across Europe.

samghjk's avatar

How did they make their way to Europe? The bankers game is clear- incite a new "divide and conquer" war between Christians and Muslims. Too bad we know it's the same people who just attacked white Christians in western world and eastern Europe for being christian, and too bad we know the "raping muslims" were brought to Europe also by "them" to terrorize local populations, of course after "they" bombed their countries and killed their children. People are getting smarter by the day

Kick the can down the road is not diplomacy and this is checkmate to win the AI war. The facts are that this is almost over, but the win is astronomical. I trust in Trump and his foreign policy doctrine. This is not war - it's never been seen before deterrence, bringing China and Russia to the table and getting out of Nato - brilliant!

So true. Good post. I’ve wondered how a country that doesn’t even have 10 million people like Israel can involve and get a larger country like ourselves with 350 million people to fight their war? Netanyahu has been trying to do this for 40 years. His success with Trump is very disheartening.

Drew Skonberg,DC's avatar

Yes and Iran is clearly an aggressor in that neighborhood with expansion a goal.

AwakeNotWoke's avatar

In your fevered imagination. Ambassador Huckabee in his interview with the great patriot, Tucker Carlson said that it would be fine if Isreal took all of the middle east. Apparently some of its leaders believe that their deity promised it to them. The Iranian regime are religous whack jobs but they are not the only ones. They at least are not anti-Christian as shown by their close relationship with Christian Russia. They don't believe in exterminating other peoples to "blot out the memory of Amalek." 

Drew Skonberg,DC's avatar

We’re in agreement on Israel being a problem and America’s embrace.

Phil Davis's avatar

Do you know why Iran wants a nuclear program? It's the same reason Russia, China, India, and Pakistan seek nuclear arms.

It's because Israel has nukes. Iran wants a deterrent.

I dislike Iranian religious arrogance, just as I despise Jewish religious arrogance. Both sides are blemishes on our modern world, with their feud dating back to Abraham.

That's the simple explanation. So, who are the terrorists? Well, they're both guilty. And America has taken a stand that will not end well in a religious war.

Cosmo T Kat's avatar

"with their feud dating back to Abraham."

How could that be? Islam was not a reality until the seventh century AD. In addition, the enmity between Jews and Islam is more about the creation of Israel in 1948. in earlier periods the Jews were accorded more rights than Christians in Islamic dominated lands. In Persia, modern day Iran, Jews still live and plan to stay as do many Christians albeit both are small in sheer numbers The real enemy of both Islam and the Jews has always been Christianity, specifically Catholicism, both Roman and Eastern Orthodox. The Christian Zionists, AKA Evangelicals, are useful idiots for the Zionists

Phil Davis's avatar

Abraham's wife, Sarah, gave birth to Isaac. Then his concubine, Hagar, gave birth to Ishmael. Hagar was Abraham's concubine and the mother of Ishmael. Ishmael is considered the ancestor of the Arabs, while Isaac is the patriarch of the Israelites.

From Google AI:October 2020: Welcoming the first United Arab Emirates (UAE) delegation to Israel, Netanyahu said, "Jews and Arabs are the descendants of one common ancestor: Abraham… in his spirit we wish to foster a Middle East of coexistence and cooperation".

Abraham Accords (2020-2022): The accords themselves are named to highlight the shared heritage of Jews and Muslims as descendants of Abraham, fostering connections between Israel and its Arab neighbors.

Drew Skonberg,DC's avatar

We can agree on the arrogance of both. You’ve not addressed the future of a nuclear Iran and its implications. I’ll wait.

Cosmo T Kat's avatar

Iran repeatedly stated they were not producing nukes and International organizations such IAEIA agreed they had been following the original JCPOA. Trump tore that agreement up for Israel and has subsequently bombed them and now initiated a war while Israel has for years has rebuffed the international scrutiny of their nuclear program. I'd say Iran is now absolutely going to complete a nuclear bomb program and for that you have Trump and Israel to blame.

Drew Skonberg,DC's avatar

Fool’s gold, Hitler did the same.

Phil Davis's avatar

Perhaps we should let them nuke each other out. If you think this attack on Iran is going to make the region better, I have a hard history lesson for you. What this attack does to Iran is open a power vacuum. Just as with attacking Iraq, an important tent pin of stability was removed that contained Iran. However, the Neocons, which Trump has fully become, don't care about implications such as oil pricing, new territorial wars, world trade, and the economy.

Anyone backing this war on Iran is in for a surprise ride and more debt to the 37.5 trillion already accumulated, mainly because of the Neocons' zest for endless wars. We're still paying interest on WW2 and all the imbicelic wars thereafter.

There will never be peace until Neocons in all countries are eliminated. However, we are going in the opposite direction. I had high hopes for Trump's pledge to end nonsensical wars, but so it goes. Nothing about this attack will be quick.

Drew Skonberg,DC's avatar

I’m not totally at odds with your thinking, I was adamant anti-war with Iraq and proven right. I’ve shifted positive toward his neutering of Venezuela, soon Cuba, and soon Iran. Just keep our kids boots out of there 100%.

Reported shortly before the 1990–1991 Gulf War in the Wall Street Journal, quoting a “senior Gulf official” was this statement:

“You think I want to send my teen-aged son to die for Kuwait?” he asked, then chuckled. “We have our white slaves from America to do that.”

That attitude appears to be even more true of many in that "certain other nation" and of America's leaders, as well as of other American traitors, than of the officials in Arab countries in that region.

That "certain other nation" has never stood side by side with the US in any of its earlier foreign wars, in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq etc, even though troops from even smaller countries often did, in every war.

American patriots like Joe Kemp, a Gold Star veteran who deployed 11 times are the last thing MIGA needs.

The USA deserves this Iran war, and it deserves POTUS Trump. Kool Aid is the best thing ever. You can never have too much. As long as it leads to Americans getting injected with more mRNA and funding Israel and putting themselves and their kids and their grandkids onto the frontline as cannon fodder for Israel then I'm cool with it. Americans removing themselves from the gene pool is the best thing that could happen to the world. The more Kool Aid that Americans drink the better.

There was actually a question in my statement that you obviously don’t want to answer. FYI, where are you from?

AwakeNotWoke's avatar

Drew Skonberg, DC—

Oh, Drew, bless your chiropractic heart—calling yourself “Dr.” while cracking backs and selling adjustments is cute, but let’s be real: in the medical world, “Dr.” usually means MD or PhD, not DC. The pretentiousness is almost endearing, like a toddler wearing daddy’s stethoscope.

Your fearmongering about Iran’s ballistic missiles “attacking Europe and then the US” is adorable—pure Cold War nostalgia with a side of neocon panic. Scant evidence? More like zero. Iran’s program is defensive, focused on deterrence against Israel and the US, not transatlantic lobbing. The idea they’d risk annihilation to hit Ohio is fantasy—straight out of the same playbook that sold us Iraq’s WMDs. But go on, clutch those pearls.

As for your nosy little “where are you from?”—I’m 100% Caucasian, genuinely White, with Prussian ancestry. My ethnicity is my nation, Drew. No hyphen, no apologies, no dual loyalties. Unlike some who seem to prioritize another country’s interests over America’s.

But let’s be clear: the only thing I’m “afraid” of is more Americans dying for foreign adventures while the real threats—open borders, fentanyl, elite corruption—get a pass. Iran’s missiles aren’t the problem; the people cheering for endless war while Americans rot are.

So keep cracking spines and peddling fear, “Dr.”—I’ll stick to facts and sovereignty. 😏

In the medical world as if that’s what I’d aspire to, that ranks as the number one killer in the US taking into account malpractice, drug errors, and prescribed vaccine and drug injuries and deaths.

It’s great to hide but how about being less of a coward and using your full name.

AwakeNotWoke's avatar

The problem is that it's not been shown that your so called "healthcare" is any less likely than real medicine as practiced by reputable people such as Dr. Peter McCullough to produce iatrogenic illness or injury and many people consider it a con job that has produced more than its share of con artists.

It's likely that my educational achievements exceed yours but I'm not here for self-promotion.

Cowardice is using someone else's army, and expecting someone else's people to fight your wars of aggression when you have never stood beside them in theirs.

Jim Reagen's avatar

Iran did not attack California.

The US attacked Iran.

War is not the answer.

Trump has opened a huge can of worms. Iran can strike oil production in the Middle East. Iran can easily attack ships in the Strait of Hormuz, which is why the US Navy, the most powerful in the world, doesn't want to escort any ships through there: they'd be sitting ducks. Europe says no way we'll send ships. If the US hits Iranian oil production, Iran will reciprocate. If US hits Iranian desalination plants, Iran will reciprocate and hit Middle Eastern desalination plants of countries providing bases to US, crippling them. There is no way in hell that America/Israel can win without boots on the ground, and boots on the ground would be a protracted disaster.

Iran has everything to gain with a protracted war and it will not give in and let the US and Israel do this over and over: it wants to send a message. Trump was deceived (by the genocidal Netanyahu) that this would be quick and regime change would happen after top leaders taken out. Hasn't happened and won't happen.

Trump very badly miscalculated and there is no easy way out for him, now that Netanyahu has trapped him into war.

If Iran had indeed attacked the US first, then of course the US would be behind this and we'd want to blow it to smithereens. But as it stands now, more and more Americans are beginning to realize that we have an idiot warmonger for a president, because we do. I was for the man, but his actions prove him a fool.

The National Intelligence Council advised Trump against this action, according to Professor Mearsheimer. General Caine advised against it. Trump didn't listen.

letterwriter's avatar

There are a number of us who have been predicting "iranian drone strikes", probably originating with Israeli agents, ever since a couple of drones were stolen from a US armory, nay ever since the news broke that the US had reverse engineered and copied drones like those that would be used.

The Israelis think nothing of attacking anyone anywhere to create a pretend threat, which they will then screech is originating from the current object of their hatred. They are backseat princes of "let's make mom and dad fight".

There is a long article here about Mossad assassinations which talks about their falsehoods and it can also be listened to on soundcloud (or other platforms too I think) https://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-mossad-assassinations/ It is so well sourced, it is practically a series of book reviews and relevant quotes strung together in a long article, and the author is cautious. I have dipped into a book he referenced, by a former Mossad assassin, and in truth they are crazier and more thuggishly gloatingly amoral than this author Unz reported. Anyone's human nature radar would easily see, they have no brakes.

And it's been reported by former CIA that they won't (wouldn't?) let Israeli agents into US buildings because they always try to bug the buildings and gain access to places they aren't allowed to go. They aren't our allies in any sense. They view us as meat and as material for making gain, that's all.

I also recommend Alison Weir's 'Against Our Better Judgment' which I will edit this comment to link to it (ed: here it is -- https://archive.org/details/weir-alison-against-our-better-judgment-the-hidden-history-of-how-the-u.-s.-was-_202404/mode/1up --) as substack only allows one or two focus changes to grab website URLs, before wiping the input form.

Well, he’s from WA state. We always thought he was smarter than the next guy who believes Trump can be owned by anyone. Trump has been consistent on this for decades - Iran must not have a nuclear weapon. That is a danger to the entire Middle East as well as the world. Ask - Why are most of the Arab countries surrounding Israel supporting the US / Israel mission? It’s certainly not because they love Israel or the US. They recognize this may be the only opportunity to ensure their own survival.

If he had the proof, he'd have stayed on the job and presented his brief so that Trump would have something tangible to reflect upon rather than be encouraged to wave off another who has "bought into the hype", so to speak. Plus, if the guy was a solid DNI staffer, the nation lost a good hand...for what, a protest? This is when guys are needed most. The Left loves protest resignations.

Iraq does not have to presage Iran. It may be a tempting parallel, but it requires an explanation to sell it.

As to quitting "because Israel", that's lame and not worthy of a role of this caliber. Iran may not have been an extremely imminent danger, but given the window and the regional actions preceding, it makes sense to move now. There can be made a respectable argument that has no allegiance to Israeli interests exclusively but definitely is squarely a USA interest at minimum.

His having suffered a loss from Iraq makes his position understandable. The role needs a steady hand, though.

evergreen's avatar

Conventional ballistic missiles (and drones), that's why.

Build up a stockpile that makes you impervious (i.e., any aggressor will pay the price) and neighbors paranoid, and you will have the buffer you need to reconstitute the nukes over time.

IRGC nukes is not an existential danger to USA, but it means potential for a city or five, either genuine nuke or dirty munition (radioactive mess), which would be permanently regional.

So, danger was greater than zero, IRGC was a known bad player, and Iran and region would be better off with a knocked-down IRGC or none at all.

For those of you so gung ho for this war, how about putting on a uniform yourself and go die for Israel. Kent has sacrificed enough. Trump campaigned on no new wars-that’s why I voted for him, three times! He has broken his promises and betrayed his base-which he is rapidly losing. It’s complete BS and propaganda that there is overwhelming support for this war. The only people that believe that are boomers and mainstream media consumers. We are completely getting our clocks cleaned and no other countries are getting on board with us to help fight Iran. The world is witnessing a clown show and the fall of the American empire.

Funny, I heard Netanyahu say he's been wishing for this war for 40 years. He finally got a president to go along. Having advisers like Kushner and donors like Adelson greased the wheels.

Joe Kent made an ass of himself. Trumpster had it all covered when other nations did not commit to covering/protecting other ships going through the Hormiz Strait. Read the link. Iran is done. Trumpster has a hostage. Always did.
