I am so aligned with you, John. Government is the problem. Dramatically reducing it is the solution.

Or is government just following the dictates of the financial, tech and military industrial complexes which want war to make heaps of money?

Government is “we the people”…neglect of that is the problem. The problem is in the mirror. Has been for a number of generations. The Constitution or rule of law hung in the balance in 1940’s. The sole remaining thread in 1976 was the franchise or right to vote. In the decades since Dominion, an elections solution’s company, has taken the reins. We could get it back if we weren’t so divided and without principles and morals.

Time after time through history once great societies have been destroyed by the militarism and fiscal recklessness of pathological control freaks who inevitably insinuate their way into positions of power in central government. Mentally diseased individuals are the problem (sociopaths, psychopaths, etc.) along with a credulous, compliant population.

I for one don't think Trump suffers such pathology, he seemed genuinely concerned about the wellbeing of the American people during his first term, but he is certainly proving susceptible to manipulation by control freaks in DC and abroad now.

But he still thinks operation warp speed was an amazing success.

Deep state/shadow govt is the problem. We are so fortunate that God sent us Trump. Ans so i won't read this article. It does not sound true

Putting faith in any human is a fools errand!😎

Agreed. Something to say about covid-19 doesn't mean something to say about the war in Iran.

Robert James's avatar

They are both psyops!🥸

Very well said and argued. When will the angels of death be defeated? If the population allows this madness to continue, it will have a lot to answer for.

Forget about the moral implications of war for a minute and look at the economic effects. These wars, these stupid, endless wars, will destroy America. We have a 40+ trillion in national debt, half of which was caused by wars. Interest on that 40 trillion now costs more each year than we pay for defense. We have yet to pay for WWI; we still pay interest because of our involvement in that European war. The unelected Neocons, the politicians, the presidents don't care. They never stop and say, maybe this war is too expensive, or we really don't have the money for this. Hell, they never say, won't this kill young Americans? Their families never fight. You need to understand that none of these people in DC care about your money, and certainly not about your life and your family's. They don't care what wars do to the economy, or energy prices, or groceries. At a minimum, they are sociopaths, if not psychopaths. Only politicians start wars; the average person wants to live in peace. Why do we let them get away with starting endless wars over and over again?

psychopaths can't resist power and its abuses!😱

Thanks for speaking truth John.

Voting for a socialist is not the answer. Then again democracy is not the answer either.

Lloyd Derbyshire's avatar

There is no answer but we do know that true democracy is the closest thing to a good aswer that we've found so far.

Ed Kilbane's avatar

True democracy is mob rule.

When 1%. decide what everyone must abide by it's always disaster. And I'm not talking the 1%ers....I'm talking that 1% over 50%...It's all a sham...and only a tiny fraction of the votes have to e corrupted for evil to prevail!😱

It’s all political fraud that only the selfish select benefit.

The threat of nuclear weapons is bogus and always has been. We now have charities looking to support those that suffer in Gaza, when the answer is a simple withdrawal of support for Israel from America.

Lloyd Derbyshire's avatar

So better to have a murderous Islamic regime in Iran with nuclear weapons and long range missiles to deliver them is it?

Who's gonna stop the devils in power...everywhere?👹

What I can gather is the craven sadistic shadow government want us to loose faith with politicians so there is an almighty revolution they can sell arms to both sides and encourage the carnage. Whoever is left over will be ruled from Jerusalem using nano mind control instead of soldiers. The data centers will come in handy.

Our friend Professor Yuval Noah Harari has spent years explaining the next phase of power: data control.

The data centers are to control us so they don’t need that many soldiers. They can hack our bodies including our heads now and this is what is happening in Occupied Palestine. It is being rolled out to the rest of the world, if we can’t stop it.

I fear that, by the time individuals FINALLY REALIZE (come to grips with) the FACT that, 'DEMONS (literal) WALK AMONG US (Humans)', it'll be too late!

GOD (The Creator) BLESS IRAN!

GOD BLESS RUSSIA!

The Humans on this planet, owe them a Great Debt!

Agreed with all of that, except that I suspect Massie may be the next ‘Controlled opposition’. The cult always has a few candidates in development.

I’m no longer interested in any of it.. Govt is a tragic farce. The useless uniparty sold us out over 60 yrs ago.

What they call ‘Democracy’ is 75% Theatre… meaningless 🎭

The MSM functions as deep state propaganda… ALL of it.

Steve Boronski's avatar

First it was Iraq and now it’s Iran. Massive reduction in government is needed, a minimum of 80% reduction.

Fred Jewett's avatar

Consider for a moment that someone was able to travel to the future and saw the US and Israel both suffering severe devastation from nuclear bombs detonated by Iran operatives so they came back to 2026 and said it is less destructive to take out the IRGC now than to let this happen.

Would that change your view John?

If I have a neighbor who doesn't like me and has guns, should I go break down his door and kill him? Because I think there's a chance he might kill me? You're falling for the same fear card they always play, because it works so well on the easily manipulated. And they know most are easily manipulated.

Ed Kilbane's avatar

Perhaps if he threatens to kill you.
