It is a source of unfathomable sadness to me, that people I've admired for years (long before convid) in the vaccine risks awareness space, as well as people I got to know as a result of their courage in speaking out on the scamdemic, have revealed themselves to be conscienceless warpigs. What hope is there for humanity when masses of people can be whipped into an orgy of bloodlust with such low-grade propaganda?

grahamlyons's avatar

I feel the same, Robyn. What happened to their humanity? Seemingly intelligent (and often gutsy) people brainwashed by such things as the Scofield Bible! I struggle to "get my head around" this bizarre phenomenon.

Robyn Chuter's avatar

People who claim to be Christians and yet express genocidal sentiments - that's quite the twist. And to not even know the origins of the Scofield bible and how it was used to manufacture support for Zionism among American evangelical Christians... what can one make of this willful blindness and ignorance? Perhaps John's earlier post, about Satan being at work in this world, is the explanation. I'm stumped to find another one.

The alt-lfts mentality has/is pushed by The Puppet Masters. They have been at it a long time. Im not sure what country you're from, but I assure YOU that this is not just the USA.

ITS ABOUT ONE WORLD ORDER

Hydra

LONDON IS MONEY

VATICAN IS CHURCH

US IS MILITARY

THE PUPPET MASTERS (TPM) WANT CHAOS, DEBAUCHERY, WE ARE EXPENDABLE, INSECTS.

People think they are aware, have it figured out, but then they say something like:

We need to vote these ppl out.

Or

Why isn't the news reporting this.

Or

Massie for POTUS.

I could write 100 more things that ppl who claim awareness will turn around and say in the next breath.

I guestimate about 5%-7% of the population is totally aware.

You mentioned the Bible being compromised.

The following is a more accurate description and partially how TPM got such a foothold.

Over the 40 years or so, alt-lft mentalities have been infiltrating key fields.

teaching, medical, psych (Clowns running the circus), law, science, religion (the big 3), & military.

So people believe they are practicing Christianity, Islam, or their Jewish faiths.

The reality is many are engaging in secularism.

Words like global, safe, equity, bringing up the poverished, inclusivity, etc, anytime anyone is bringing these into the conversation, that's what you're dealing with.

2030 Agenda is real.

This next part, ppl do not believe that it's true. One could easily check what I write by picking anything and tracking it back to the majority share holder.

Black ROCK, State Street, Vanguard are 3 corporations that own everything. Throughout the years, they went about acquiring businesses, forcing the closure of others, etc..it's some of the investors of them who help make up TPM.

The Fed Gov is 100% corrupt & captured, down through State GOVS, & many cities/towns.

There is no right nor left in DC. They make decisions based on the best interests of those 3 corps.

The Fed Gov are muppets and do the bidding of TPM, as well as the other Western Country GOVS, UN, NATO, EU, WEF.

I see many ppl who think that the WEF are the Supreme. They aren't, they just do the bidding of TPM.

TPM have corralled many, hollywood, prof athletes, musicians, many have sold their souls for fortune & fame.

The last WEALTH TRANSFER WAS in 2020, covidsmovid had layers to it's purpose.

The closing of the country to flatten the curve. It shuttered many small businesses for good. It also was a conditioning exercise for the ppl towards complying. Readying people for a surveillance state controlled by dig id.

It gave the Prep act tentacles.

Another thing ppl mistake is believing DJT is THE DEVIL. That's ludicrous, the admins have been engaging in this at least 50 yrs.

TPM own real estate, retail, pharma, grocery stores, energy, mining rights, have control over people's retirements, 401K's, vetinary, etc.

Blackstone just d/c ppl pulling their money about two weeks ago, then Cliff Waters followed suit.

I been telling ppl to pull your money out for 3 years.

IRAN IS simply a cog in the wheel. It's about tanking petrol dollar & petroleum/gas/oil drives the stock market. The entire thing is going to make '08 look like a cake walk.

There are and have been rug pulls happening or in the works. Example: They buy several lots of land, build houses, then overpriced for the area, drives property taxes up, ppl can't pay.

They buy lots of houses, turn them into rental properties, taking them off the market.

No single family owned properties (2030 Agenda) .

The AI data centers are surveillance centers. The people representing the tech bros are going all over pushing their way in to towns. The energy & water that it takes to run one, is astronomical.

Town councils giving permission despite the people's objections.

As I wrote before, this isn't localized to the USA, just look at the other countries.

The being overrun with illegals, to destabilize from within.

Go out into your community. Take notice, empty buildings, weeds growing in parking lots, there is pall in the air.

That's the controlled decay that The Puppet Masters have been behind.

Steve's avatar

I don't necessarily agree with all of your details, but your main message I certainly do. That a large criminal enterprise has taken over most Western govts. It's goal seems to be to rule the world, same motivation since the beginning of time. And that the only chance we have to vote our way out of this is for Americans to wake up and realize we need a complete reset of our congress, after which a complete purge of the other two branches. Fire everyone, start over again only with those who have never served in govt prior. This cannot be done peacefully at this point.

Really? What about Jericho? What about Sodom and Gomorrah? Even the christian god puts humanity in the back seat when he (or she?) deems it necessary, and makes no apology.

Robyn Chuter's avatar

The god of the Hebrews was exactly what you'd expect of tribal people of that era - savage, genocidal and partisan. I'm not a Christian in the sense of adhering to the doctrine of any particular church, so I feel perfectly comfortable in saying that I think the Gnostics were right: that repugnant deity is a demiurge, if not Satan himself.

Brandy's avatar

Like calling it a "preemptive" attack so that it sort of sounds like it's a defensive action? So eye-rollingly stupid.

Robyn Chuter's avatar

The glee with which your country's leaders celebrate the fact that they've torn up the laws of war is beyond disturbing. They had to attack Iran because Iran is a rogue nation of baby-beheading savages who are 30 nanoseconds away from building a nuclear bomb... so it's totally fine to go completely rogue by sinking an unarmed ship and refusing to save shipwrecked sailors, blowing up a girls' school and then double-tapping 40 minutes later to kill the rescuers too, blowing up an oil refinery in a densely-populated city to produce poisoned air that will sicken and kill thousands of people, destroying desalination plants so that the people you're liberating will die of thirst... need I go on?

It's a comedy skit, which may seem inappropriate at a time like this, but the classic "Are we the baddies?" skit by David Mitchell and Robert Webb totally nails it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h242eDB84zY. If you celebrate - or even make excuses for - the deaths of innocent civilians, YOU'RE THE BADDY! And you're sure as hell not a Christian.

Brandy's avatar

Funny video, kind of. Very relevant.

I used to think it was so bizarre that historically, people used to gather for hangings as entertainment. I feel like we are watching that play out right now. Like it's 2026! What in the world? It's the worst side of humanity that I could imagine.

It was like hearing people say that unvaccinated should not receive medical care or be allowed to buy groceries. Wow. People can be so easily persuaded to be evil and punitive towards other humans for such ridiculous reasons.

BTW, while you say that people aren't Christian when they make excuses for innocent people to die, my devote Christian friends would disagree. They see it as a necessary cost of war to fight the evil Iranians, you know, to free the Iranian people and to eliminate the threat to "God's chosen people". Manifest Destiny. Many of my Christian friends are definitely believers. Many of them also believe that Trump has been chosen to cary out God's will.

I just saw an AI picture of Trump praying with a figure like an angel with his hand on Trump's shoulder insinuating that Trump is being guided by God's angels. I thought it was a joke at first. Not a joke.

IMO, there are some very problematic texts in the Bible, subject to all sorts of interpretations but honestly, I can't think of a way to reconcile them with the goal of peace in the Middle East. I hear people trying, but the texts are still there even if they are rational enough to sort of side step them in favor of humanity.

Robyn Chuter's avatar

Forgive me, I didn't explain what I meant by not being Christian if you support or excuse the slaughter of innocents. I mean that if you are truly a follower of Jesus, you would not besmirch his teachings in this way. Most churches have strayed far from his teachings. I doubt he would even recognise their doctrine or modes of worship as remotely related to his teachings.

Roisin Dubh's avatar

I would say all Churches are missing the mark.

Brandy's avatar

I understand what you are conveying and I applaud it. The problem lies, from my perspective, in the fact that Jesus cannot be taken out of the Bible. And therein lies the problem.

Robyn Chuter's avatar

There are many bible scholars who are attempting to rescue Jesus' teachings from the distortions in the bible, by examining ancient texts that predate the Council of Nicaea. I guess in this life we will never know exactly what he taught, but I think we can get closer to it by acknowledging that the bible was compiled and edited for political purposes, by the empire that subsumed early Christianity and perverted it to serve its own ends.

There are many so-called Christians who claim to follow Jesus, but in truth find his restraint and championing of peace inconvenient. They prefer the Jesus of the Book of Revelation, overlooking two things: (i) that the preceding Books refer to the actual life and teachings of Jesus, whereas Revelation is a prophecy of a mortal that may or may not come to pass, and which in either event cannot negate the Truth revealed in the preceding Books; and (ii) that should Revelation come to pass as prophesied, the avenging Jesus depicted therein shall be the one empowered to pass and effect Judgment, not mortals alive today who seem anxious to get started and thereby usurp God himself. So there is nothing Christian in this 'rush to judgment', to the contrary, which is entirely consistent with their implicit and overall rejection of the Jesus already risen.

Steve's avatar

One of these days you will realize that if there is indeed a "god" out there somewhere in the sky with the form of a man, that he/she/it is completely different than any of the religions in the world today teach. From the bible, which I wonder if the original hebrew authors had found psilocybin to "assist" them in there "historical" record. Every scripture I've ever read reminds me of stuff I might write after eating 'shrooms or lsd. Honest, I'm not kidding. It is written so vaguely that it is subject to a zillion different interpretations, why would anyone use these ancient writings as a reference on life? And that is why scholars use them, because no one can understand them, and the scholar thereby cements their power over the people with their great "wisdom" and "understanding". Ha ha what a laugh.

Robyn Chuter's avatar

And that's precisely why I don't follow any religion or believe in the infallibility of any scripture, as I've written in other posts on this thread.

I think the concept of a "country" is a stupid dumb ridiculous concept. I don't recognize "countries" other than statist prisons. When people say "country" "A" is at war with "country" "C", what they are REALLY saying is Prison "A", led by psychopaths "B", is at "war" with Prison "C", led by psychopaths "D". It's like during the Roman Empire - you had a psychopath piece of human trash "ruling" over people, the OTHER psychopath pieces of human trash bumped that guy off, and they became head psychopath lead human trash.

You need to educate yourself. I wrote a longer comment, but it doesn’t look like it posted. Try to meditate on what actually happened on October 7. Go to Tousi TV for coverage of what’s happening in Iran.

A Christian is someone who’s been washed in the blood of the Lamb, repented of their sins, received the Holy Spirit and is growing up into the mature man, recreated in the image of the Son. The secret is simply this: Christ in you the hope of glory.

The will of God is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved. Surrender your life into His hands. He who has the Son has eternal life. It’s not a future event. It’s a present reality.

All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, reproof, correction and training in righteousness. That includes both the Old and New Testaments.

If you don’t know Jesus, please come to Him. He has loved you with an everlasting love. He will never fail you or forsake you. He is the Word made flesh who dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

Having been abused by my satanic neighbors as a child, I can testify to you that He was with me at the time though I did not see Him and He delivered me repeatedly from death, evil and sin. I love Him with all of my heart. He is both gracious and just. Hallelujah to the Lamb that was slain! Amen

Robyn Chuter's avatar

I don't think you'd recognise Jesus if he moved in next door to you. You have a heart full of hate for your fellow humans.

Inisfad's avatar

I suggest you go to Iran or Gaza or any radical Islamic area and preach ‘kumbaya’ to them. I think you’ll be unpleasantly surprised as to how well you are accepted.

Martha's avatar

You don’t know me. Hate is a strong word. It’s extremely difficult to live with hate in your heart. That’s why we forgive.

It has nothing to do with setting the other person free from responsibility. It has everything to do with being free. When I forgave the satanists who’d abused me as a child, I let them go into the hands of the One they’d sinned against.

Jesus was with me at the time even if I didn’t see Him. I was hidden in Him. When they abused me that abuse fell on Him. I was protected. When we replayed it in order to heal, He was there and I arose in newness of life. He restored my innocence to me.

I did witness to one of the satanists and maybe she came to Jesus, maybe she didn’t. I don’t want anyone to go to hell.

Having felt myself dying and going there as I tried to hold onto a little girl they were sacrificing, there is no pain like it. Excruciatingly painful, a sense of total abandonment, existential despair.

So yes, I forgave them, I let them go into the hands of the One they sinned against. Hate will destroy you - mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.

Hardly preemptive. The war with Islamists has been ongoing for some time.

Robyn Chuter's avatar

Yes, the Sunni Islamists that the US and UK governments fund, arm and train have been waging war - including on the ordinary Muslims who just want to get on with their lives - for over five decades:

"The West, predominately Britain and the United States, have covertly used radical Islamic groups and individuals to further their foreign policy objectives. These groups have aided Western interests in installing pro-Western monarchies and dictatorships throughout Asia and the Middle East while providing for economic opportunities in oil and arms deals – stretching from Azerbaijan to Afghanistan.

Britain has covertly supported Pakistan’s intelligence agency (ISI), an agency responsible for training thousands of terrorists, three of who ended up being directly involved in the 7/7 attacks. Osama bin Laden, perhaps the most infamous terrorist of our time, along with fellow jihadists (Adel Abdel Bary and Ibrahim Eidarous) used London as their global HQ. In 1994 Bin Laden opened an office in Wembley, North London, under the name of the Advice and Reformation Committee. From this office he launched his worldwide jihad.

Darul Islam in Indonesia, Jamaat-i-Islam in Pakistan and the Muslim Brotherhood globally, are all examples of extremist groups, covertly or overtly supported by the West, who have left their ideological imprint on modern day terrorist groups. Given this covert history covering the past fifty years to present, 9/11 and 7/7 can be seen as the result of a Western foreign policy backfiring in a spectacular way."

I could not agree with you more that Western Interventionism is at the root of so much of the trouble we see not just in the Middle East, but around the world, including Ukraine.

I don't think I'm quite as comfortable as you are that Islamism would not exist without our provocations though. Do you believe that if Israel ceased to exist and the US ceased its mindless foreign adventures, that there would be peace in the Middle East? That radical Islam would not still be a threat to peace and freedom even in countries with no direct involvement in activities against Muslim countries? The evidence is not in your favour. You only need to look at how Islamic states treat their women and gay people to understand that their culture is primitive and very quick to use violence of the most extreme kind to suppress everything that doesn't comply with their distorted view of morality.

Robyn Chuter's avatar

I did not at any point claim that Islamism would not exist without Western backing; after all, MI5 seized upon an already-existing sect viewed as heretical by mainstream Muslim clerics, and nurtured it into what became the Muslim Brotherhood. I am arguing that without Western funding and backing, it would be a local problem rather than a regional and global one.

Christianity viewed women as inferior and homosexuality as a sin until very recently (and some traditionalists still hold these views). When societies prosper economically, such backward views eventually recede. Look at Iran before the CIA and MI5 overthrew Mossadegh - it was rapidly modernising and secularising. And don't forget that Ayatollah Khomeini was funded and backed by Western powers, as the deposed Shah wrote in his memoirs. We reap what we sow. Or more to the point, we ordinary folk are subjected to the harvest sown by our power-obsessed leaders.

Oh my goodness, have you followed this at all? Have you listened to any Iranians? Did you know they continued to protest in the streets in the millions across the country without weapons and were openly gunned down by the IRGC. They aimed for their faces and eyes. They killed young people and children. 50,000 is low. It could be up to 100,000 during the span of a few weeks. The IRGC was forcing the parents to pay for their bodies so they could bury them. Trump didn’t instigate that nationwide revolt. That was the Iranian people fed up with being oppressed by a police state bent on spending the wealth of the country on Islamic terrorism. Have you wondered why Iranians were celebrating in the streets when Trump and Netanyahu attacked? The diaspora was celebrating across the world? Please educate yourself. See if you can find the video of what happened on October 7 and watch it. That’s the level of evil we’re dealing with. AND they’ve been dealing with for 47 years.

Robyn Chuter's avatar

Oh god, not another mindless progaganda-regurgitator. Have you not read Pompeo's Jan 3 tweet, "Happy New Year to every Iranian in the streets. Also to every Mossad agent walking beside them..." It's right here: https://x.com/mikepompeo/status/2007180411638620659. The Israeli press also openly acknowledged that Mossad operatives had infiltrated the protestors, arming them so that they could murder UNARMED Iranian policemen. They also burned down mosques.

Have YOU seen the footage of massive rallies in Tehran, of Iranians mourning their slain religious leader and calling for their armed forces to take revenge? Watch this: https://x.com/oswaldosrm/status/2030988964656562630. And this: https://x.com/IranUpdatesNow/status/2028542005572481509. And this: https://x.com/supressedvoic/status/2031488153585070164. It's time to get out of your little bubble. Your moronic, traitorous leader has kicked off a holy war that has spread to Bahrain and now Pakistan, with protests over the killing of Khamenei erupting in Karachi.

As for diaspora Iranians celebrating the carpet-bombing of their country, that is utterly sick. What sort of person celebrates the murder of innocents? You, evidently.

FWIW

(a) Israel also funded Hamas and appears to have created the organization in the first place (it was an operation designed to destabilize the PLO and Yasser Arafat who were gaining international support for a peaceful solution which would have impeded Israel's desire to steal Gaza, the Golan heights and the rest of greater Israel).

(b) There is a great deal of evidence that Israel was aware of the October attack and permitted it to happen (my own guess is that they were actively involved in planning it)

(c) What should innocent schoolgirls do if the IRGC builds a compound next to their school? Just accept that they need to die? If the IRGC did this for protection then they are cowards, but we are worse for blowing up the innocents.

(d) My guess is that the schoolgirls were targeted deliberately. It appears we (Israel, since we seem to be their puppet) want to avoid any quick ceasefire and we have made statements and taken actions to ensure that that happens.

Evidence free propaganda, Jeanine.

This war is a war of aggression, and prosecutable under the Nuremberg principles.

Scott Ritter knows all about school girls and crime. He was convicted for something similar.

Daniel Wirt's avatar

Nice non sequitur you’ve got going there, Inisfad Foundation ANonnyMouse. Ritter was neither charged with or convicted of a war crime. Conversely, killing 160+ small children was an unequivocal war crime for which responsibility extends down a long chain from Trump, Hegseth, and military target specialists to everyone supporting this war of aggression, including apparently you. Hegseth canceled a Dept of Defence directive that required a civilian mitigation team to review each target to make sure that they weren’t striking the wrong ones. Hegseth called that “woke” and “ineffective”. In a news conference he said there would be “no stupid rules of engagement”. It’s long past due for Nuremberg 2.0. Try to develop a little respect for actual evidence.

So is your government using schoolchildren as human shields?

Jeanine's avatar

My prior comment stands. Don't Call for death to America and Israel. Iran funds

Hezbollah (Lebanon): Iran provides the vast majority of Hezbollah's funding, training, and weaponry.

Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ): Iran supplies political support, weapons, and significant funding to Palestinian groups for their fight against Israel.

Houthis (Yemen): Iran provides weapons and support to the Houthi rebels, giving it influence on Saudi Arabia's border and a means to disrupt Red Sea shipping.

Iraqi Shia Militias: Groups like Asaib Ahl al-Haq and Kata'ib Hezbollah are armed, trained, and funded by the IRGC to attack U.S. forces and undermine Iraqi sovereignty.

Not to mention Iran murders their own people.

Nothing like a typical liberal chick defending a murderous regime.

I'm not from the UK, either - wrong again! Nor am I "progressive". Your detective skills are as substandard as your reasoning skills. And you're such a dyed-in-the-wool statist that you can't even understand what I mean by up-down politics.

By the way, did you know that Iran has the oldest Jewish community in the world? And yet they're so terrible at genocide that they haven't yet managed to murder them all. Maybe they should take some tips from the ISIS terrorists that your government trained - they're doing a stellar job of wiping out the Christians in Syria.

Iran is a country of 90 million people. 9,000 Jews currently live there. The Jewish community in Iran was once over 100,000. Maybe the numbers indicate something??

IDK if our government is doing that…I pray,not.

However,why were those children ( if they were) even there,at such a time? The Russians knew to get THEIR people out of harms way..Was this a total surprise? Did they think Trump was bluffing? Someone posted that the school schedule in Iran could easily have them In Saturday classes,SO,,of course,but,WHY, with such danger in the air, would they BE there..

We understand that being a “martyr “ for certain of these leaders, is their default move.But, Why would they leave their children in harms way? Do you believe our attack was a complete surprise ? Only if no one listens,and,maybe the world leaders are stupid? Again,IDK..

"Iranian authorities began issuing orders for schools to close shortly after the US-Israeli attack began at 9.40am. It is not clear whether the bomb hit the school before those warnings arrived in Minab, or just after them, with parents not having time to act. Amelirad, of the Teachers’ Council, said they had been told that “the time between the announcement of the school’s closure and the moment of the explosion was very short” so “families had not yet arrived to pick up their children”." https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/mar/03/minab-school-bombing-how-the-worst-mass-casualty-event-of-the-iran-war-unfolded-a-visual-guide

Though having schools on military bases is not, as you point out, unusual, having kids in those schools when your country's military bases are under aerial bombardment certainly is. And please don't try to pretend that Hamas (now it seems an Israeli construct!) don't hide behind women and children.

Your comparison with the US is ludicrous - the US has almost zero chance of ever being aerially attacked, as you well know.

My comparison of the schools on military bases in Iran and in the US is entirely apt. Thankfully, most countries aren't being bombed night and day by the US, so it's reasonable in peacetime to have a school conveniently located near the place where military officers are training. May I remind you that Israel and the US launched a sneak attack on Iran while negotiations were supposedly still ongoing, which is a breach of honour that renders the US a completely untrustworthy party to any future negotiations with any other country.

Mark Johnson's avatar

Ah, the Guardian! Well I'm sure they are just as impartial in reporting this issue as they were during the COVID scam and continue to be now in attempting to discredit all dissenting voices on vaccines per se.

I won't continue this any further, largely because I agree with your sentiment that civilized countries do not bomb anywhere near civilians. Just because the regime in charge has little regard for the rights and safety of its citizens (and those of the countries against whom it sponsors terrorism) doesn't mean we should be equally immoral.

Robyn Chuter's avatar

The preliminary US intelligence report has already acknowledged responsibility for the bombing of the girls school. I was curious how soon it had occurred in the sneak attack, to answer your charge that "having kids in those schools when your country's military bases are under aerial bombardment certainly is [unusual]." If you find another source that contradicts this one on timing, please share it. But as it stands, it seems the girls school was bombed in the opening minutes of the aerial bombardment, so there was no chance to safely evacuate the girls.

Available open-source investigations indicate that the IRGC military facility came first, and the current girls’ school building was originally part of that compound before being separated.[bbc +1]

What we know from satellite imagery

• A BBC analysis of satellite images of the Minab site notes that the school is immediately adjacent to an IRGC facility.[bbc]

• That analysis reports that 2013 imagery shows the school building as part of the same compound as the IRGC base, with a separating wall only appearing by 2016.[bbc]

• CBC’s visual investigation likewise states that the school building had previously been associated with the IRGC and only later functioned as a civilian girls’ school.[cbc]

Interpreting “what came first”

• Since early satellite imagery shows the area as a unified IRGC-linked compound, the military presence predates the school’s clear appearance as an independent educational institution.[cbc +1]

• In other words, the site originated as an IRGC installation; the school role emerged later, after part of that compound was repurposed and walled off.[cbc +1]

YINON PLAN

An article titled “A Strategy for Israel in the 1980s” by Oded Yinon, published in 1982 in the Hebrew journal Kivunim.

It argued that Israel’s security would be enhanced if neighboring Arab states fragmented along ethnic and sectarian lines (e.g., splitting Iraq, Syria, Lebanon into smaller entities), and this has since often been cited as a blueprint for “destabilizing” surrounding countries.

So,

-- our military was honest and transparent and admitted they targeted a school that used to be a military location; an accident and not purposeful while targeting 5000 targets . . .

-- YOU and others whine about them mis-directing ONE damn hit. In WW II carpet bombing wiped out thousands and no one was concerned. Apparently, in 10 years, breaking a finger nail of ONE human will be off limits with a million targets.

-- Liberal tear-jerkers for 30 years now keep throwing out this idea that the USA wants everyone else oil, wars for oil, blah blah blah. So, why don't we have ALL of IRAQ and Libya's oil reserves pumping into US ports? Why is it that Japan and all its wealth and profits are not funnelled back into US coffers?

-- Your goofy Yinon plan. . . so, another country has a plan and they impress it on the USA over 40 years to Force the only Super Power in the WORLD! to do their bidding. Right. Foolish.

Only a liberal nut would dream THAT one up.

U.S. Influence Over Oil Production in Iraq, Libya, and Syria

ALAN GREENSPAN > “The Iraq war is largely about oil.”

(From his memoir The Age of Turbulence)

CHUCK HAGEL > “People say we’re not fighting for oil… of course we are.”

DICK CHENEY > “The Middle East… where the prize ultimately lies.”

(Regarding global oil reserves)

GEORGE H. W. BUSH (1990) > “Our jobs, our way of life… depend on oil from the Middle East.”

DONALD TRUMP > “We’re keeping the oil.”

(statement about Syrian oil fields)

Several journalistic investigations and policy analyses discuss how the United States became involved in oil infrastructure, oil revenues, or oil security in Iraq, Libya, and Syria during and after military interventions.

The degree of control varies by country, ranging from direct oversight of oil revenues (Iraq) to military protection of oil fields (Syria) and post-intervention access for Western energy companies (Libya).

Iraq

U.S. control of Iraqi oil revenues after the 2003 invasion

After the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Iraqi oil revenues were placed in the Development Fund for Iraq, which was held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

A detailed explainer from Reuters describes how this arrangement allowed Washington significant influence over Iraq’s finances:

• Reuters article:

“How the U.S. controls Iraq’s oil revenues”

https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/how-us-controls-iraqs-oil-revenues-2026-01-23/

The article explains:

• Oil revenue represents around 90% of Iraq’s government budget.

• Funds from Iraqi oil exports were deposited in accounts monitored under U.S. authority.

• This structure originated during the U.S. occupation.

During the occupation period, Iraq was governed by the Coalition Provisional Authority, which had authority over oil revenues and reconstruction funds.

*********************

Western oil companies entering Iraq after the war

After the invasion, Iraq began awarding contracts to foreign energy companies.

A feature from Al Jazeera explains how the war reopened the country’s oil sector to Western firms:

• Article: “Western oil firms remain as U.S. exits Iraq”

https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2012/1/7/western-oil-firms-remain-as-us-exits-iraq

The report notes that major companies including:

• ExxonMobil

• BP

• Shell

received contracts to develop large Iraqi oil fields after decades of nationalization.

********************

Continued Western involvement in Iraqi oil production

More recent reporting shows that international companies remain heavily involved in Iraq’s oil industry.

For example, a 2026 report from Reuters discusses changes to operations at the giant West Qurna‑2 oil field, one of the largest oil fields in the world:

https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/iraq-approves-amicable-settlement-with-russias-lukoil-over-transfer-operations-2026-02-17/

Syria

U.S. troops stationed at Syrian oil fields

During the war against ISIS, U.S. troops were deployed to areas containing most of Syria’s oil resources in the northeast.

A report from Military.com explains the mission:

• Article: “Troops Will Keep Guarding Syrian Oil, Pentagon Says”

> Revenue to be used to support the United States backed Syrian Democratic Forces.

https://www.military.com/daily-news/2019/11/08/troops-will-keep-guarding-syrian-oil-us-wont-keep-profits-pentagon-says.html

**********************

Trump statements about “keeping the oil”

During the Syrian conflict, Donald Trump repeatedly said U.S. forces would protect Syrian oil fields.

One analysis discussing these statements:

• Article:

https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/how-americas-iraq-oil-saga-might-be-replayed-in-syria-13850939.html

Trump said publicly:

“We’re keeping the oil… the troops are protecting the oil.”

These comments triggered debate about whether the U.S. presence in eastern Syria was tied to oil security.

***********************

Libya

Oil sector after the NATO intervention

Libya’s oil sector changed dramatically after the 2011 NATO intervention in Libya, which removed Muammar Gaddafi from power.

Following the war, international energy companies expanded their presence in Libya’s oil industry.

A recent report from Reuters describes new investment deals:

• Article:

https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/libya-sign-25-year-deal-with-totalenergies-conocophillips-bring-over-20-billion-2026-01-24/

Companies involved include:

• TotalEnergies

• ConocoPhillips

The deals aim to expand production and modernize Libya’s oil infrastructure.

***********************

Overall pattern

Across these three countries, reporting shows different forms of U.S. involvement in oil sectors:

Iraq

• U.S. occupation authorities oversaw oil revenue accounts.

• Western companies gained large oil contracts.

Syria

• U.S. troops protected oil fields in northeastern Syria.

• Oil revenue went to U.S.-backed Kurdish forces.

Libya

• After NATO intervention, Western oil companies reentered Libya’s energy sector.

You may have voted for Trump 3 times, well that's nice. I only voted for him the last two, but that is all irrelevant. What confound me is why do you pump out piles of links and statements but nothing that makes a reasoned point? Why do you tell me all about Israel yet have nothing to show how the USA over decades is doing Israel's bidding?

If you desire a rational discussion you need to make cogent points and not try to baffle with BS. NO ONE will read 10,000 words of links you paste in from your hard drive in 15 seconds.

Total Destruction >> Operation Clean Break

(more accurately known as “A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm”)

Refers to a 1996 policy document prepared by a study group of American neoconservatives, led by Richard Perle and including Douglas Feith and David Wurmser, for incoming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

This report proposed a major shift in Israeli strategy away from the Oslo peace process and “comprehensive peace” negotiations. Instead, it advocated a more aggressive, proactive approach to reshape the Middle East in Israel’s favor by:

• Rejecting land-for-peace deals and emphasizing self-reliance.

• Containing or rolling back threats from Syria (via proxy measures and highlighting WMD concerns) and other neighbors.

• Prioritizing the removal of Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq as a key step to alter the regional balance.

• Working with allies like Jordan and Turkey.

• Adopting preemptive actions and “peace through strength” rather than concessions.

The document emphasized rebuilding Zionism through economic reform and strategic initiative, while framing Israel as aligned with Western values.

The Israelis put a critical military control center right under tall buildings in Tel Aviv. They put military facilities next to hospitals. As always with the Israelis: every accusation is a confession. When will YOU take responsibility for the death and destruction caused by Israeli and US actions? Iran didn't launch this war. Israel and the US murdered Khamenei and other top leaders when they were meeting to discuss the next step in negotiations with the US. That was the second time the US/Israel used negotiations as cover for attack. Look in the mirror!

pretty-red, old guy's avatar

You are OUT of it Jimmy.

Since 1979 the USA has been AT WAR with Iran. Iran has publicly stated MANY times death to the USA and death to Israel.

We have been and ARE at war with IRAN. There is no murder here. The USA military is decapitating their government after 47 years of war. Cold, warm, and now, finally HOT war. Wake up.

Negotiations?! That is ludicrous. They have NEVER negotiated in good faith but lied and delayed while they purified uranium to make bomb level materiale for targeting at the USA. Again, wake up.

Jim's avatar

Oh? When did the US Congress vote to declare war on Iran? One could just as easily say the US launched a war on Iran when it overthrew the moderate parliamentary democracy there in 1953, imposing the torture regime of the Shah. Iranians remember that. Americans, for the most part, have no clue.

What the US and Israel did is launch a war of aggression. Following the Nuremberg Trial prescriptions, Trump, Netanyahu, and all their close advisors deserve the same fate that was meted out to the guilty at that trial.

Negotiate in good faith? The Russians have a very apt phrase to describe successive US regimes: "not agreement capable." And the Israelis? Lying bastards, never observe an agreement or a ceasefire. It was the US (Trump, first term) who tore up the nuclear agreement, to which Iran had adhered. Stop trying to portray the US as the "good guys" here. We are not.

Have you ever been to a military base? According to AI the DOD operates 160 elementary schools on USA bases AND 161 public schools operate schools on bases. By your logic that is 321 elementary schools that can be targets as the schools are on the military base. Israel also has military installations built within their cities. These countries and places do not have the sprawling land mass that the USA does.

With the technology of today, there is no way in hell that whoever ordered that strike and whoever pushed the button didn’t know who or what they were targeting. They can read your license plate in a moving vehicle from space. Remember, Israel has the practice of “mowing the grass” which is the indiscriminate killing of people. It now seems that the USA does as well. Heck, the USA carpet and fire bombed civilians (Dresden, Vietnam, Iraq and now Iran) and is the only country to use a nuclear bomb on civilians. They killed those little girls as a message to the IRGC officers who were their parents.

Just as another note, the Palestinians lived in what is now called Israel BEFORE it was designated as such by the UN. What and how would you feel if your town, home and property was taken over by the UN and turned over to others because they needed a community of their own?

With all due respect make excuses all you like. It doesn’t change reality.

what also amazes me is that AFTER pointing out these obvious contradictions no one wants to address them, prefer to avoid confrontation. They understand you speak the truth and throw pebbles back at you in response.

Michael Srite's avatar

Pretty, your writing is ambiguous. Like, what are the contradictions and who won't address them? Please, at least indicate whose side you're on.

I commented on one of DM's in which he laid out the details of how the "girls" school was adjacent to and at some point in time part of the IRGC's military building. My point: It was so close and adjacent how can our military be blamed for a 15 ft off center hit with over 5000 targets across Iran being hit during a HOT war.

My miscalculation / misunderstanding:

After DM pointed this out I figured DM noted these facts as an objective statement of fact proving my conclusion. He had some other nebulous reason and somehow thought his fact actually supported how terrible the US military was; slightly ironic.

I am on the side of the USA military and support the eliminating of the IRGC and radical Islam in Iran, if that is not yet clear. I am not on the side of targeting and killing little girls and believe it is disingenuous to imply our military is actively engaging in such. The fact that we are only 10 days into a war and thousands of targets have been hit and commenters whip out the lonely fact that ONE school (may) have been hit by the USA(? IRGC themselves?) is a hysterical grasp for higher moral ground by liberals.

So, does this explain my position in detail?

Where do you get your info? It's obviously flawed.

Thanks for this post John. I feel like you are speaking for me, as I have the exact same opinion as you state concerning this war and the complete exposure of the fraudulent "uniparty" system of government dispensed via the lens of a bought and paid for media and news propaganda machine.

John, I admire your wisdom, wit, experience, intellect, assessments, and willingness to share your insight with your readers. Thank you for all that you do. You are a gifted writer. I continue to learn so much from you. And I find myself agreeing with you every time.

I've been concerned for several years about the President's ties with neocons, Jew and gentile, as they are always beating the drums for war. Like you, I worry about where all this can end up. In 1914, Serbian intelligence thought that by assassinating the Arch Duke and his better half, their country's freedom from the Hapsburgs was guaranteed. Over the next 4, 5 years, almost 60% of all Serbian males died in combat or of disease/starvation. Once you let the four horsemen out of their stables, there is no controlling them.

I don't know what is going to happen going forward but like you, I have a sense it could be a disaster. Pray for the Republic.

My understanding is Trump was reluctant to proceed to war with Iran, but Jared Kushner with his ties to Netanyahu (along with Witcoff?) was told to move forward with war. It begs the question, is Whitehouse comprised & whom exactly is pulling Kushners strings.

Michele M's avatar

Theatrics. Trump is very close to Netanyahu … more so than Kushner is.

Brandy's avatar

100% agree. This is exactly why Trump is president today.

Michele M's avatar

One of many but yes! It’s part of the plan/script.

Brandy's avatar

True, he has been very busy on many fronts- the pharmaceutical industry, the economy that is tanking, tech sector which is more empowered than ever, the herbicide/pesticide manufacturing industry, and more...

BAJA's avatar

That's easy. It was the late Netanyahu but now Bennett.

mass death and destruction with an attendant risk of nuclear weapons ultimately deployed have a way of making me feel a sense of doom, a quirk of my personality I suppose

Dave Campbell's avatar

Thanks. I am old enough to remember getting under my desk at school for a nuclear bomb drill. We are nowhere near that level of threat today. I don’t lose sleep over the potential of a nuclear exchange.

Daniel Wirt's avatar

Dave, I also had to hide under my desk in grade school. However, I think the risk of thermonuclear war is greater now than then…

BAJA's avatar

If it happens, chances are we'll never know.

Tamenund's avatar

Yet, here we are. At war because someone apparently does.

evergreen's avatar

The destruction is evident; can you expand on the mass death and propensity to go nuke?

John Parisella's avatar

What? You don't reasonably believe that actual normal citizens can grieve not just the apparent spiraling out-of-control war but also the loss of "friends" over the expression of feelings or fears or loss of faith in the US government?

Dave Campbell's avatar

I don’t have much faith in the tUS gov’t either but my focus is supporting people who

are making a difference vs. tearing it down. What is the alternative?

Thank you for asking:

Meaningful Transparency

No matter where you stand on politics it is a well-known and easily demonstrable fact that the members of the US Congress and the State Legislatures do not read, evaluate or debate any of the particulars of the Legislation they vote on. They cannot read or debate the issues because the Bills approach 500 pages each. And there are sixty to one hundred new bills for them to vote on every day they are in session.

By necessity the duly elected representative votes the way his staff advises him to vote. This is not the workings of a democracy or a democratic republic.

During the 1992 Presidential campaign, Ross Perot called attention to this insanity with a diplomatic observation that "a general lack of accountability among elected officials and those in the bureaucracy was the one specific reason that the people in America suffered".

Mr. Perot then suggested that the best and perhaps only way to make government officials accountable was to include the citizens in the decision-making process - every hour, every day.

He went on to note that this can now easily be done. The concerned and competent segment of the population, exercising their governmental responsibilities as citizens can do it with their computers and a software program he called:

THE ELECTRONIC TOWNHALL.

With this computer program every interested citizen can indicate whether or not they agree or disagree with every line item of every law, policy and program on the books or that was being advanced. It can be used at every level of government and in every jurisdiction.

To prevent chaos, the basic law, our Constitution and Bill of Rights would be exempt from review.

Mr. Perot speculated that the Founding Fathers would probably have done the same had the technology been available. He referred to it as the Fourth Branch of government; The Citizens Branch / The Electronic Townhall.

If the government is truly of the people, by the people and for the people then what better way is there to perfect every section of the various laws and policies that do effect each and every one of us every single day?

It would not be difficult to expect at least 50 thousand qualified citizens, per congressional district, to read four pages of law or proposed law and get their Ratify or Annual input every day the congress is in session. The results could be aggregated, made known and we would all be better off.

The program would even allow a citizen to go back and change their vote as they matured. And when a super majority of 75% is reached the law/proposed law is either ratified or annulled by immediate recognition of the enforcement mechanisms.

With tens of millions of laws and tens of thousands of taxes there is plenty of work to be done.

According to Mr. Perot, this, the harnessed experience and the combined intelligence of hundreds of thousands or even millions of citizens focused like a laser light on the real issues, will, as surely as night follows the day, perfect every law in our country and eventually it will right every wrong.

Mr. Perot publicly announced his intention to give the fourth branch of government to the people in America if he was elected President.

But this attempt to empower our humanity was so far removed from the business-as-usual-two-party-system that the talking heads and trolls yelled out that Mr. Perot was trying to destroy our Constitution, our government and our way of life.

The ELECTONIC TOWNHALL was denounced as unworkable.

How would the poor participate?

How would fraud be prevented?

What about those who do not know how to read or type on a computer?

But we all know the truth: only the concerned will bother to participate.

In a final act of desperation, the deep state media claimed that allowing responsible citizens to ratify or annul public law would lead to chaos and pandemonium.

The media was so intensely negative towards the ELECTRONIC TOWNHALL that Mr. Perot was forced to stop talking about it, but he never withdrew it from his platform.

It’s now been thirty-four years since the proposal.

No other person of national reputation or significant influence has picked up the idea. BUT the big two political parties regularly stage "townhall meetings" where they talk of "reform" and "returning power to the people". They try to link themselves to the empowering part of the idea without adding to its manifestation.

And still we suffer in the hopeless loop of: "candidates with a sense of morality and respect for the Constitution who understand true brotherhood, justice and democracy and who will do the right thing for us each and every time, trust me".

While we cannot make light of sincere individuals who get into public office, we must acknowledge the fact that regardless of who has been elected to public office the problems in our government get more complicated and our people continue to suffer.

Could we possibly admit that our national situation, now being made global, is far too complicated for the President and the 535 elected members of the legislature to manage in our best interests?

You, the person reading this know some of the things we need.

Your friends, our fellow countrymen have their solutions too.

The only way to organize the workable ideas is to create a device that will enable all of us to simultaneously contribute our best thinking and most benevolent experience towards solving our most complicated problems.

That device is THE ELECTRONIC TOWNHALL and the place to begin is with our existing laws.

If this is not the answer, the only logical path towards a future for normal homo sapiens, then what is?

pretty-red, old guy's avatar

Great Post. I am SURE Elon could figure(maybe already HAS) out just how to do this. I voted for good ol' Ross Perot. I have always kicked myself since because Slick Willie was installed after he sucked votes from the conservative. . . and here we are.

I forgot all about the electronic townhall; I think it COULD actually work SoloD.

SoloD's avatar

Thanks, please repost the concept, improve on it if you can!!

The issue is not whether the ETH could work at all, but whether it would at least be better than what we have now. I think not, but I wish one state would try it so we could better judge.

pretty-red, old guy's avatar

YES! Doing such an experiment has always been my first suggestion to enable sampling the response, outcome of . . . anything: a proposed law, regulation, new way of routing traffic, etc. A longstanding concept I have used but no one picks up the plan and runs with it. Instead of making laws for the ENTIRE USA why not just apply it at 5 or 10 or 20 random counties around the country and watch the action for 3 yrs; then VOTE and apply it!

I like the idea, but with all the corruption I don't know.

try Tousitv for a better view from an Iranian in london with contacts round the world his coverage is now 1.5million people subscribing - gone from 300K last june when i first started watching him. certainly doing something right, watch him and then MSM and you know why we are where we are. MSM have been feeding us garbage for decades - i can see it clearly. when you have the 2 lots of commentary to compare one after the other or even on the same day.

Nick's avatar

I I absolutely agree with the premise but I disagree with your stance on the war and the overall distasteful descriptions of Jared Kushner et al. It’s not automatically negative to associate with Israel. Furthermore, Trump was never going to personally attend those peace talks. Why would the top man meet the underlings of Iran?

That doesn’t make sense. Additionally, while I agree Trump has repeatedly said he won’t drag us into endless wars, he’s always been somewhat interventionist. However, he doesn’t like long-term, prolonged interventions, and that’s obvious here. I think one must, I think, put all of that against the plight of the Iranian people and those being oppressed, killed, murdered, silenced in Iran at a vast scale, that almost demanded intervention. I think this is a moral war, and I'm usually against wars.

Ah John...I am also confused at this time. The question is. " Was Trump fooled by neocons? " . You are in good company. Here is Glenn Diesen & Michael von der Schulenburg is a German member of the EU Parliament who was previously a UN diplomat for 34 years in positions that included Assistant Secretary General of the UN Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs. Schulenburg also lived and worked for 9 years in Iran for the UN and explains why this war is yet another disaster for Europe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5dnmSeyc0M.

Publicus's avatar

John, I respect your intellect, your writing, and your style. Whether I agree with you on this is somewhat incidental.

We must demand more open dialogue with more liberal thinkers.

We cannot allow the Marxist left to commandeer the use of language. They are NOT liberal, they want to gut us like a big fish landed by another.

I consider you a liberal thinker of the highest order. And, as important, you were out front on the SARS CoV-2 mRNA gene therapy disaster from the beginning.

Me too, except I tend to crack back on people who are trying to kill me and my bloodline.

Fight on brother! Ye shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
