The more apropos question would be what would President Washington think of the Deep State? He would recognize it as unconstitutional. So would President Eisenhower, he'd be pissed that we did not listen to him. President Trump is doing the dirty work that President Kennedy wanted to get to.
Trump has ignored the Constitution. He took an oath to uphold it, but he must have had his fingers crossed behind his back, because he’s shredded it. And he’s done it all for Israel.
Specifically, how has he shredded it? SCOTUS is there and the left loves to litigate - they'd be litigating with Scotus, if he were shredding it.
Not saying the guy is squeaky clean. Hell, Joe fired up the fascist censorship machine, the mandate world for cv jabs, residing over an admin, that fleeced the taxpayers for special interests (gay pride & lgbtq) training in Peru, money going to countries to support the gay and trans agenda's... USAID money going to 4,000 + media outlets, to carry the WH & WEF narratives.... Oh, and Joe let millions of unvetted illegal aliens into our country,.
Sick of the one-liner headline attacks on the current Potus - that's never backed up with reasoning or facts.
Waging war without a declaration from Congress is the most recent example. Many have argued other previous Presidents got away with it, so it must be okay for Trump to do it now. That’s like saying many drivers never got stopped and ticketed for speeding, so it’s okay for everyone to speed now. The law is the law until it is repealed. The Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Our federal branch of government has three branches forming a system of checks and balances, each upon the others. What we have today is a failure of all three branches to uphold the oath they all had to swear upon acceptance of their office to support and defend the Constitution.
If Congress really cared, they'd do something about it.
But, as usual, you've got nothing.
The last two Presidents trampled all over the Constitution.
The current President upholds the Constitution and follows it as evidenced by him NOT doing all the things his detractors have been screaming he would do when he became President - like declare martial law, declare himself President for life, etc.
It’s not just the Presidents, past and present, it’s also Congress and SCOTUS who trample the Constitution. If Trump ever aspires to be remembered as a great President he should heed the greatest President’s advice as John rewrote here. Asians and Europeans have fought amongst themselves for millennia. George Washington studied the history and witnessed it in his life time. Trump should be so wise.
No question that our presidents of the last 60 years, as well as Congress, is beholden to the zionists lobbyists. Pat Buchanon was speaking about that being so, even in the 90s.
LOL, yes - Rothschild, Rockefellers, et al... saw Rockefeller jabbing his finger into the chest of then, Prince Charles.
I get it. I refuse to believe Trump is a puppet of the deep state and the globalist ho's. He's dropped us out of the WHO, flipped the bird to the IPCC and the general WEF crowd...
Not the actions of the previous potus puppets.
So, you got me -- a few examples are welcome... there's something very fishy about 10/7/23.... the best defenses on planet earth - and 17 entry points breached, same day?
The deep WEF world is crumbling, it has BlackRock backing away from DEI & ESG... Zuckerbucks admitting the fascist censorship pressure put on by the Joe WH.
Over 100 IDF soldiers testified that they were told to stand down on Oct. 7. It was an inside job designed to do the same thing 9/11 was, to galvanize public support for use of the military to seize assets, in this case Gaza. This is the simplest explanation and the disproportionate use of force in the aftermath is very damning.
It really doesn't matter what anyone believes to be true, though. The result of Israel's actions since Oct. 7 is the undeniable loss of support across the globe for Israel. This is measurable and real. So, no matter what you believe about Oct. 7, Iran, Syria, Lebanon et al, and Israel's "right" to do whatever it has done, Israel is losing the larger war of minds. Calling everyone antisemitic who tries to point out the long-term risks of being duplicitous war mongers (inviting people to negotiate and then killing them during negotiations, planning for years to indiscriminately blow up people with pagers, openly telling the US that their soldiers need to die for Israel, etc) is just accelerating the loss of respect and support.
The only thing people hate more than religious wars is colonization and erasure of other cultures. That is exactly what Israel and the US are doing in the Middle East...oh, and making an enormous amount of money for the military industrial complex, especially Halliburton and its subsidiaries like KBR.
Saudi's, UAE and other ME countries, support the joint US/Israeli war against the lying bastard ho's. Saudi's supporting Israel... that's new to me.
Your comments, if born out to be true, will certainly unsettle the ME. What might be a new ally of the U.S./Israel, could turn into some trouble... especially if those new partners, went to the dark side w/ Russia and/or China. Stakes are big.
This means you are unwilling to accept new information as you are exposed to it, you are close minded, and therefore useless.
I never mentioned the Rockefellers so now you’re grasping at straws and throwing it in the mix.
Mark Levin announced Trump as the first Jewish president in the White House, and Trump did not correct him. He smiled, uncomfortably, however, he still smiled!
Fighting an unprovoked war against Iran on behalf of Israel is the dumbest thing America has done lately and that says a lot because it’s been nothing but a giant humiliation ritual with Trump as the president, don’t get me wrong in 2016. I supported him even though he was embarrassing and that’s because back then at least he was saying Things that were in line with what common every day patriotic people wanted.
But now there can be no doubt that he works for the Jew and whether it’s because they have multiple videos of him with children on Epstein’s Island or he’s just hoping they will take care of his Jewish grandchildren after he’s gone is irrelevant to me, he is a traitor.
Nothing not a single damn problem in this country gets fixed until Israel is no longer allowed to participate in any aspect of our political institutions, Congress, banking, media, search engines, immigration, and so on.
I mentioned the fucking Rockefellers -- you have a problem with free speech sachmo?
"You “ refuse to believe” it says it all!" Oh really? You're the thought cop on this string?
"This means you are unwilling to accept new information" Oh really? Just b/c you're biting on the MSM spew, doesn't mean I can't have an opinion.
So, it seems you hate Jews. I don't. I'm suspect of some of their behavior - but I realize, we don't live in a perfect world... Perfection isn't happening.
The covert influence of Israel did not start with Trump. You might want to look closer at how Bill Clinton introduced Jeffrey Epstein to Israeli intelligence. The difference is that with Trump everything is on the table. We can see it. Maybe he is doing us a favor by being so transparent. For the first time, we may be seeing a change in the long run, if only in backlash to the current manipulation.
Even Pat Buchanon was warning us about the fact that both the House and the Senate were controlled by Israel, in the 90s. He said that many told him they knew voting for more Foreign Aid to Israel was not good for the US, but that they weren’t strong enough to buck the Israeli lobbyists, so they were going to vote “yes” for the aid. I’ve never said that the problem began with Trump, just that Trump is as big a puppet for Israel as all of them over the past 60 years.
Yes, got it. I noticed a definite change after the Charlie Kirk assassination.
In Scorcese's film Silence he studying an interesting and horrific concept called proxy suffering. Worth watching or reading the scenes between the Inquisitor and the Jesuit priest.
I viewed the film at the Director's Guild Theatre, with Scorcese there discussing the film. My guest that night was a Jesuit priest friend. In a remarkable coincidence related to proxy suffering, every time a Jesuit was tortured, I could feel the pain and tension in my friend seated next to me. Powerful evening that was.
I believe that focusing on the cost of fuel is extremely shortsighted. The Shiite Islamic government of Iran has been seeking the destruction of the US for years, and has focused their resources on developing the weapon systems to attack the US and its allies. I believe if one understands the belief system driving the Shiite jihadist government of Iran, perspectives would radically alter. A short to mid-term rise in the cost of fuel is well worth protecting our children from the horrors of war reaching our shores.
Bunk...The US and UK overthrew the elected Iranian government in 1953, installed the unpopular Shah and his murderous Savak, and had plans to overturn the Iranian revolution...Iran has to defend itself constantly because the West wants cheap oil and will do anything to get it....
“Bunk” is significantly inaccurate.The role of the United States in the overthrow of the 1953 government is indeed something that should be understood and recognized. However, it is almost irrelevant to the current situation, with the Shiite Islamic Republic government’s focused efforts to develop a weapon/weapons to attack the United States, to achieve it’s often stated “death to America” goal.
Additionally, as the Shiite government of the Islamic Republic has vigorously and continuously pursued this goal, it has also executed well over 50,000 of its own citizens, and funded Shia anti-government forces/militias aimed at undercutting and changing the government of at least four countries. These efforts by the Shiite government of the islamic Republic reportedly significantly contributed to the deaths of an estimated 200,000+ people.
I was told by our government, specifically Trump, operation “Midnight Hammer” conducted in June of 2025 destroyed Iran’s capability to produce nuclear weapons. Were we lied to then? Secretary of State Rubio stated we attacked Iran because Israel was going to attack Iran with or without us and our troops would face imminent threat of retaliation from Iran. Somebody please tell me why we have troops still stationed in the Middle East in harm’s way. I suspect they are there to protect the interests of Israel, multinational oil companies and the petrodollar. Is this what we want to sacrifice our youths’ lives for? We are warring against an ideology that is centuries old. We are fools to believe we can do anything to change that ideology.
I have been asking why Britain has military bases in Iraq and elsewhere but the only response I get is that they are “strategic”. Time to bring them home.
That doesn’t explain or excuse why we have troops there. As a former fire chief there wasn’t a single building worth risking the life of a fellow firefighter. And if we had bricks thrown at us we withdrew.
You signed up knowing you would be going into buildings to rescue. For the public to plead with the mayor to withhold the fire brigade's rescue of a family with its house on fire--strictly on behalf of the fire fighter staff--is not rational.
We gave been told this story by Netanyahu repeatedly, every so often, since 1992. Sometimes the story was they were only months away from nukes. Yawn. Plus we "entirely obliterated" their enrichment facilities just last year. No?.
Your side has rigorously investigated Iran's capability. What did you find?
Also why should Iran not set an example and say nuclear weapons are haraam [unethical], and mean it? Just because noone else wants to take the lead in ending the threat to humanity of this fallacious deterrent?
Knowing Israel is guilty of genocide and expansionism, and wants to end Iran as the entity the country is today for the sake of self-preservation from Iran's wrath, could this charge of Iran intending to nuke them be the only pretext Israel has left to use to rope America into obliterating Iran? Succeeding in that would prevent Israel from ever being charged with war crimes because the end of Iran would enable them to dominate the planet (as dictator). And they would have succeeded by making the likes of Trump to sacrifice American soldiers to achieve that
Finally, isn't there enough evidence, now, that Iran doesn't even need a nuclear weapons to defend itself from the Trump/USrael war crimes? Their intention is to clear the area once and for all from US presence, and send home the parasites who have come to corner the oil (the root cause of this evil aggression), it looks like. Doesn't Iran have the right to breathe?
That's all it looks like to me. Remember, if you compare the records of Iran and USrael to measure who is least aggressive and expansionist by intention, who wins, hands down?
USrael has been covering up Iran's right to protect Gazans, and Iran's power to lead the region in peaceful development.
Stop with the Israeli propaganda you shill. Completely transparent and soon you won't have a country. No Israeli kingdom has lasted over 80 years. Enjoy the next 2.
Venezueala is no longer running drugs and financing terror. Game over
Cuba is no longer exporting terror and their communist government is open to capitalist investment. Game over.
Iran is facing economic collapse, totally isolated, with no allies offering significant support. Even the Palestinians support Saudi Arabia against Iran. China and Russia are cutting their losses. The currency is basically worthless. Once the IRGC can’t pay their troops it ends in short order.
You like to cite history. Do some research on the Barbary Pirates and the Battle of Derna (1805). US trade ships were being attacked by the Muslim Barbary Pirates and despite numerous negotiations the pirates could never be trusted to uphold a peace deal. The parallels to today's conflict with Iran are strikingly familiar. George Washington would be proud of Thomas Jefferson and the US Marines.
In whose waters? On whose land? USA should just leave the area that the west has overrun like locusts. They created all these separate countries for the oil. Look up T E Lawrence and Sykes Picot. Divide and rule and keep everyone divided at the expense of your soldiers, sailors and marines. Better to pack up and go home. Unless you are only protecting the main pillar of division, being Israel, created with your help. Look up the imbecilic Balfour Declaration that was extracted with the help of a big long-term bribe from the Rothschilds.
How would you like it if Iran, Russia and China kept bases in the Bahamas, Cuba, Canada, Greenland, Mexico and Puerto Rico? If Russia took over Greenland and protected it, the whole of Europe would be safer and breathe a sigh of relief.
OK just helping you exercise your imagination. And please, read up on everywhere America is interfering in order to corner resources. Look up Lumumba and the oppression of Africa is general.
The British at the beginning of the quest for oil entered into Iran and developed the oil industry there. The Iranian people benefitted little from the sale of their natural resources. The United States has meddled in Iran’s internal affairs to keep the oil flowing at the benefit of the multinational oil companies and not the Iranian people. Our meddling in other countries’ affairs has created most of the problems we face today. Ukraine is another more recent example.
Why do we still have troops in the Middle East and whose interests do they serve?

So why are we now atacking Iran? We were told we eliminated their nuclear weapon program last year with operation “Midnight Hammer.” I’ve been around long enough to remember the “Domino Theory,” and the “weapons of mass destruction” lines of BS (not to mention “two weeks to slow the spread,” “Operation Warp Speed” and “safe and effective”). Now the excuse to wage an undeclared war is “Iran is an imminent threat to us.” The only Americans presently threatened by Iran is our military personnel stationed in the Middle East. I’ve been asking for a long time why do we have troops stationed throughout the Middle East and whose interest do they serve? I’ve yet to receive a solid, reasonable and believable answer. I believe we face a much more immediate threat from the terrorists we’ve allowed into our country from a long period of failure by our federal government to enforce our immigration laws.
Because for 47 years Iran has killed or sponsored those who kill Americans all while threatening all of us with Death to America. Only those who keep their heads in the sand believe Iran was no threat to America.
You like to draw conclusions from history, yet miss history repeating itself. Barbary Pirates attacking relentlessly until we fight back. Iran relentlessly attacking us and declaring "Death to America" until we fight back. Your credibility as an objective scholar is shaken in my mind.
Wasn't Palestine terrorised for the creation of Israel. Should they not be allowed to fight back? Sisters Israel right now is getting the US help are guys and it's not allowed to get help from others? Really to tell you the truth you know the bone between US and Israel looks like a transgender marriage that sacrifices its own children (US Soldiers, Sailors, Marines). It's all about oil. If neocolonial USrael can corner all the oil then they can win all the wars and enslave the world.
Let's also include Netanyahu's speech, where he likened Iran to the Amalekites, whom God ordered Israel to completely destroy all life, including their farm animals. Both sides only believe in the total destruction of the other. As if we didn't already know that? Obviously, you don't.
Barbary Pirates? You're an idiot. Iran is not north Africa you dolt. It's the oldest continual civilization on the planet. Stop with the nonsense and go bother some other message board.
Ask the Iranian nationals who have been dancing in the streets all over the world. The women finally able to ditch their burkas and hijabs, who have been arrested and raped by their muslim overseers.
I have to continue my support for President Trump even though I’m not liking some of the things that he has done lately. Bottom line is that our only other choice was Kamala. Sad, but true.
Most of the world’s fertilizer is produced from natural gas and oil. When the price of those commodities rise so does the cost of fertilizers. The ramifications of this undeclared war will have long term deleterious effects upon the entire world as the food supplies diminish. We think food is expensive now, wait until this autumn and see what you pay for a loaf of bread, if you can actually buy one.
Multiply by 3.79, so your regular is $7.96 USD/GAL…in expensive US Norther Virginia it’s less than $3.90. Wonder what Leake had to say when Biden had it over $5/GAL.
We are missing a foreign policy that speaks to our time. The advent of technology has altered the relationship, the proximity, to other nations, and thus has altered the results of how we conduct foreign policy. Much more dangerous is the infiltration of unofficial influence on our lawmakers. Such covert machinations are really the issue... more so than stated public policy, which itself is derived from the unseen or covert influencers.
Without question, a war drives up costs of virtually everything. HOWEVER... who is responsible for the failure of self sufficiency in America, who has habitually BANNED domestic production of fuel at every opportunity, and taxed everything in the name of the global warming fraud... it was not Trump. Trump is faced with national bankruptcy and health crisis nation wide, not of his doing.
POTUS has a big dirty job, dismantling the culprit, the DEEP STATE. There will be more collateral damage before the dust settles. Canada's Carney is being nicknamed "Carnage" due to his efforts to thwart the elimination of the Deep State, even going so far as to grant citizenship overnight to admitted Iranian Muslim terrorists and their families. All the Muslim immigrants in Canada represent a clear and present danger to America and Canadians, frankly. Trump really should reconsider his recent withdrawal of his idea to save Canada by invasion. He now apparently thinks Canada is not worth saving. Real Canadians WANT TRUMP TO INVADE CANADA to unseat the entrenched, terrorist Liberal regime. As you point out, John Leake, the expense is borne by the lowly taxpayer. The world cannot survive a continued DEEP STATE. MAGA. MAHA. May God bless the President, guide him, and restore the country.
By the way, your comment section is completely infiltrated by Unit 8200. It's so easy to spot and really means that your writings are over the target. Please keep up the great work. One of the few Substacks that I read daily.
I'll just say that diesel fuel is a racket in general here in the US. It's garbage fuel and is so much easier to refine than gasoline, and generally used to cost much less. But somehow it's now so much more. It's purposely priced high because it's a superior engine and fuel, but they don't want us to use it.
Remember the Volkswagon Rabbit diesel? It got like 50mpg back in the 80's. Oh but it's such a dirty fuel. More scam. They just want to fleece every penny out of the peasants as possible.
It's priced higher because the market is comparatively inelastic.
Prices goes high, vacations are put off, mileage foregone. Producers and factories still deliver products, so go regardless of price. So market learned 20 years ago to shift accordingly and diesel has been permanently higher since.
Most of the issues we face today are a direct result of our meddling in other countries’ affairs. Iran and Ukraine are the two more recent examples. This is what Washington advised us not to do.
Gramps overthrows the foreign country, pops meddles endlessly, the country grows into a snarling beast, and sonny puts it down.
Yep, all foreign policy engagements, started and maintained poorly for a long time. Doesn't mean that sonny has to take it off anyone anymore. So he puts the problem to bed, whoever may have started it.
At least do it with the consent of the family, people gramps and pops ignored. Congress, particularly the House of Representatives is the direct representative of “we the people.” Otherwise stay home!
GW didn't/couldn't calculate the threat of ballistic missiles, nukes and the like. The threats stretch across the globe.
Agreed on Ukraine -- the deep state forced that fleecing of The U.S. taxpayer. WEF had the Biden admin, wrapped around their finger. 100's of thousands of dead Ukrainians w/ millions displaced... and we paid !$175B for... what? answer; WEF De-pop agenda.
Trump, 180 degrees, the opposite. When a ME country that hates your culture - that wants to end your culture, threatens our negotiators with 11 nukes in a few weeks - the smart leader reacts.
A wise leader doesn’t trample the Constitution. He brings the case for attacking another nation before the people and Congress issues a declaration of war. Otherwise he is acting unilaterally, as a dictator.
So - SCOTUS can decide. The litigating left, would love to cook his ass... But they're not. So, you may cry to the sky, until they do.
"Dictator" is a load of bullshit. China and Russia support Iran.... but where are they?
You'd prefer to wait for Iran to build those 11 nukes, right?
I'm glad he didn't wait. Did you put a Ukraine flag in your front yard in 2022? .... do you have an Iranian flag out front now?
Peace through strength..... wishing for a Jimmy Carter type response, maybe gets us another 47 years of terrorism with the nuclear threat for all. They threatened us... and people like you think they're kidding?
The bankers and the otherwise wealthy managed to overturn the simple non-alignment position of the first few Presidents...Their enemy Jackson then ended the Bank of the United States, but along came Abe Lincoln who trashed the entire Constitution for a war that killed 10% of the American people....
The more apropos question would be what would President Washington think of the Deep State? He would recognize it as unconstitutional. So would President Eisenhower, he'd be pissed that we did not listen to him. President Trump is doing the dirty work that President Kennedy wanted to get to.
He’s giving them more money than they ever had before. That’s not shrinking the deep state, it’s growing it.
Trump has ignored the Constitution. He took an oath to uphold it, but he must have had his fingers crossed behind his back, because he’s shredded it. And he’s done it all for Israel.
Specifically, how has he shredded it? SCOTUS is there and the left loves to litigate - they'd be litigating with Scotus, if he were shredding it.
Not saying the guy is squeaky clean. Hell, Joe fired up the fascist censorship machine, the mandate world for cv jabs, residing over an admin, that fleeced the taxpayers for special interests (gay pride & lgbtq) training in Peru, money going to countries to support the gay and trans agenda's... USAID money going to 4,000 + media outlets, to carry the WH & WEF narratives.... Oh, and Joe let millions of unvetted illegal aliens into our country,.
Sick of the one-liner headline attacks on the current Potus - that's never backed up with reasoning or facts.
My ears are open.
Waging war without a declaration from Congress is the most recent example. Many have argued other previous Presidents got away with it, so it must be okay for Trump to do it now.

What we have today is a failure of all three branches to uphold the oath they all had to swear upon acceptance of their office to support and defend the Constitution.
Scotus rules. Tough to shred, when Scotus gets involved.
That's a moldy oldie!
If Congress really cared, they'd do something about it.

I believe that had not President Trump taken this action, Iran would have a nuclear tipped ICBM launched on both Israel and the USA within a year.
I was told by our government, specifically Trump, operation “Midnight Hammer” conducted in June of 2025 destroyed Iran’s capability to produce nuclear weapons. Were we lied to then? Secretary of State Rubio stated we attacked Iran because Israel was going to attack Iran with or without us and our troops would face imminent threat of retaliation from Iran. Somebody please tell me why we have troops still stationed in the Middle East in harm’s way. I suspect they are there to protect the interests of Israel, multinational oil companies and the petrodollar. Is this what we want to sacrifice our youths’ lives for? We are warring against an ideology that is centuries old. We are fools to believe we can do anything to change that ideology.
I have been asking why Britain has military bases in Iraq and elsewhere but the only response I get is that they are “strategic”. Time to bring them home.
Just to be clear: so long as there is a volunteer armed forces, there is no forced "sacrifice" of military lives. Draft? Different story.
That being the case, no more does the "troops in harm's way" argument hold water. Like becoming a fire fighter and bemoaning fire duty.
That doesn’t explain or excuse why we have troops there. As a former fire chief there wasn’t a single building worth risking the life of a fellow firefighter. And if we had bricks thrown at us we withdrew.
You signed up knowing you would be going into buildings to rescue. For the public to plead with the mayor to withhold the fire brigade's rescue of a family with its house on fire--strictly on behalf of the fire fighter staff--is not rational.
We gave been told this story by Netanyahu repeatedly, every so often, since 1992. Sometimes the story was they were only months away from nukes. Yawn. Plus we "entirely obliterated" their enrichment facilities just last year. No?.
Your side has rigorously investigated Iran's capability. What did you find?
Also why should Iran not set an example and say nuclear weapons are haraam [unethical], and mean it? Just because noone else wants to take the lead in ending the threat to humanity of this fallacious deterrent?
Knowing Israel is guilty of genocide and expansionism, and wants to end Iran as the entity the country is today for the sake of self-preservation from Iran's wrath, could this charge of Iran intending to nuke them be the only pretext Israel has left to use to rope America into obliterating Iran? Succeeding in that would prevent Israel from ever being charged with war crimes because the end of Iran would enable them to dominate the planet (as dictator). And they would have succeeded by making the likes of Trump to sacrifice American soldiers to achieve that
Finally, isn't there enough evidence, now, that Iran doesn't even need a nuclear weapons to defend itself from the Trump/USrael war crimes? Their intention is to clear the area once and for all from US presence, and send home the parasites who have come to corner the oil (the root cause of this evil aggression), it looks like. Doesn't Iran have the right to breathe?
That's all it looks like to me. Remember, if you compare the records of Iran and USrael to measure who is least aggressive and expansionist by intention, who wins, hands down?
USrael has been covering up Iran's right to protect Gazans, and Iran's power to lead the region in peaceful development.
Stop with the Israeli propaganda you shill. Completely transparent and soon you won't have a country. No Israeli kingdom has lasted over 80 years. Enjoy the next 2.
Go back to Israel Hank.... you're not wanted here.
How sad. Your comment is solely emotional, devoid of facts, lacking in authority, and quite inaccurate.
You figured fast that only duplicitous people write such offal. I learned something. He already knows the truth but without shame writes falsehoods.
Says who?
Said the Mullahs
Look at the bigger picture:
Venezueala is no longer running drugs and financing terror. Game over
Cuba is no longer exporting terror and their communist government is open to capitalist investment. Game over.
Iran is facing economic collapse, totally isolated, with no allies offering significant support. Even the Palestinians support Saudi Arabia against Iran. China and Russia are cutting their losses. The currency is basically worthless. Once the IRGC can’t pay their troops it ends in short order.
You like to cite history. Do some research on the Barbary Pirates and the Battle of Derna (1805). US trade ships were being attacked by the Muslim Barbary Pirates and despite numerous negotiations the pirates could never be trusted to uphold a peace deal. The parallels to today's conflict with Iran are strikingly familiar. George Washington would be proud of Thomas Jefferson and the US Marines.
US ships being attacked by Barbary Pirates. Were US ships attacked by Iranian pirates?
Yes, soldiers, sailors and Marines were killed by Iranian pirates. You are joking I assume.
In whose waters? On whose land? USA should just leave the area that the west has overrun like locusts. They created all these separate countries for the oil. Look up T E Lawrence and Sykes Picot. Divide and rule and keep everyone divided at the expense of your soldiers, sailors and marines. Better to pack up and go home. Unless you are only protecting the main pillar of division, being Israel, created with your help. Look up the imbecilic Balfour Declaration that was extracted with the help of a big long-term bribe from the Rothschilds.
How would you like it if Iran, Russia and China kept bases in the Bahamas, Cuba, Canada, Greenland, Mexico and Puerto Rico? If Russia took over Greenland and protected it, the whole of Europe would be safer and breathe a sigh of relief.
OK just helping you exercise your imagination. And please, read up on everywhere America is interfering in order to corner resources. Look up Lumumba and the oppression of Africa is general.
Schoolyard bully.
The British at the beginning of the quest for oil entered into Iran and developed the oil industry there. The Iranian people benefitted little from the sale of their natural resources. The United States has meddled in Iran’s internal affairs to keep the oil flowing at the benefit of the multinational oil companies and not the Iranian people. Our meddling in other countries’ affairs has created most of the problems we face today. Ukraine is another more recent example.
Why do we still have troops in the Middle East and whose interests do they serve?

Sorry to say so, but the US has not been involved in Iran's oil business for 47 years.
So why are we now atacking Iran? We were told we eliminated their nuclear weapon program last year with operation “Midnight Hammer.” I’ve been around long enough to remember the “Domino Theory,” and the “weapons of mass destruction” lines of BS (not to mention “two weeks to slow the spread,” “Operation Warp Speed” and “safe and effective”). Now the excuse to wage an undeclared war is “Iran is an imminent threat to us.” The only Americans presently threatened by Iran is our military personnel stationed in the Middle East. I’ve been asking for a long time why do we have troops stationed throughout the Middle East and whose interest do they serve? I’ve yet to receive a solid, reasonable and believable answer. I believe we face a much more immediate threat from the terrorists we’ve allowed into our country from a long period of failure by our federal government to enforce our immigration laws.
Because for 47 years Iran has killed or sponsored those who kill Americans all while threatening all of us with Death to America. Only those who keep their heads in the sand believe Iran was no threat to America.
You like to draw conclusions from history, yet miss history repeating itself. Barbary Pirates attacking relentlessly until we fight back. Iran relentlessly attacking us and declaring "Death to America" until we fight back. Your credibility as an objective scholar is shaken in my mind.
You do realize that the " Death to America chant is for the home crowd, don't you? We are the Great Satan, just like Putin is another evil Hitler.
The first act of war is to demonize your enemy.
Do you know why Iran wants nukes? Because Israel has them, and Netanyahu wants to destroy Iran.
I think we would all be better if regime change happened in Israel.
Key Facts About Iran-Israel Tensions
1. Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution declared Israel's destruction as a foundational goal, not a response to Israeli actions.
2. Iran established Hezbollah in 1985 specifically to attack Israeli civilians, decades before recent conflicts.
3. Iran funded over 130 terror attacks against Israeli civilians worldwide between 1979-2000, including synagogue bombings.
4. Iran's nuclear program began covertly in the 1980s, forcing Israel into defensive responses to prevent nuclear genocide.
5. Iran arms Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis with 150,000+ rockets aimed at Israeli population centers.
6. Iran directly attacked Israel with 300+ missiles and drones in April 2024, escalating from proxy warfare.
7. October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre was coordinated with Iranian intelligence and funded by Iranian weapons programs.
8. Israel's strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities target weapons programs, not civilian infrastructure or population centers.
9. Iran's regime explicitly calls for Jewish genocide while Israel targets military threats, not Iranian civilians.
Wasn't Palestine terrorised for the creation of Israel. Should they not be allowed to fight back? Sisters Israel right now is getting the US help are guys and it's not allowed to get help from others? Really to tell you the truth you know the bone between US and Israel looks like a transgender marriage that sacrifices its own children (US Soldiers, Sailors, Marines). It's all about oil. If neocolonial USrael can corner all the oil then they can win all the wars and enslave the world.
Let's also include Netanyahu's speech, where he likened Iran to the Amalekites, whom God ordered Israel to completely destroy all life, including their farm animals. Both sides only believe in the total destruction of the other. As if we didn't already know that? Obviously, you don't.
Barbary Pirates? You're an idiot. Iran is not north Africa you dolt. It's the oldest continual civilization on the planet. Stop with the nonsense and go bother some other message board.
Trump is following the depopulation agenda, obviously. He is for genocide of billions, for $billions.
Ask the Iranian nationals who have been dancing in the streets all over the world. The women finally able to ditch their burkas and hijabs, who have been arrested and raped by their muslim overseers.
I will ask my Persian friends in Iran. The American regime needs to be overthrown, no doubt.
To your detriment if it is.
I have to continue my support for President Trump even though I’m not liking some of the things that he has done lately. Bottom line is that our only other choice was Kamala. Sad, but true.
Most of the world’s fertilizer is produced from natural gas and oil. When the price of those commodities rise so does the cost of fertilizers. The ramifications of this undeclared war will have long term deleterious effects upon the entire world as the food supplies diminish. We think food is expensive now, wait until this autumn and see what you pay for a loaf of bread, if you can actually buy one.
Washington would have thought he's an Israeli puppet, because he is.
Made in Israel: Trump White House plagiarized Iran war manifesto from Israel-aligned think tank

Here in Canada, British Columbia Vancouver Island we are at $2.60 Canadian a liter for diesel and 2.10 a liter for regular gas.
Multiply by 3.79, so your regular is $7.96 USD/GAL…in expensive US Norther Virginia it’s less than $3.90. Wonder what Leake had to say when Biden had it over $5/GAL.
We are missing a foreign policy that speaks to our time. The advent of technology has altered the relationship, the proximity, to other nations, and thus has altered the results of how we conduct foreign policy. Much more dangerous is the infiltration of unofficial influence on our lawmakers. Such covert machinations are really the issue... more so than stated public policy, which itself is derived from the unseen or covert influencers.
Without question, a war drives up costs of virtually everything. HOWEVER... who is responsible for the failure of self sufficiency in America, who has habitually BANNED domestic production of fuel at every opportunity, and taxed everything in the name of the global warming fraud... it was not Trump. Trump is faced with national bankruptcy and health crisis nation wide, not of his doing.
POTUS has a big dirty job, dismantling the culprit, the DEEP STATE. There will be more collateral damage before the dust settles. Canada's Carney is being nicknamed "Carnage" due to his efforts to thwart the elimination of the Deep State, even going so far as to grant citizenship overnight to admitted Iranian Muslim terrorists and their families. All the Muslim immigrants in Canada represent a clear and present danger to America and Canadians, frankly. Trump really should reconsider his recent withdrawal of his idea to save Canada by invasion. He now apparently thinks Canada is not worth saving. Real Canadians WANT TRUMP TO INVADE CANADA to unseat the entrenched, terrorist Liberal regime. As you point out, John Leake, the expense is borne by the lowly taxpayer. The world cannot survive a continued DEEP STATE. MAGA. MAHA. May God bless the President, guide him, and restore the country.
By the way, your comment section is completely infiltrated by Unit 8200. It's so easy to spot and really means that your writings are over the target. Please keep up the great work. One of the few Substacks that I read daily.
I'll just say that diesel fuel is a racket in general here in the US. It's garbage fuel and is so much easier to refine than gasoline, and generally used to cost much less. But somehow it's now so much more. It's purposely priced high because it's a superior engine and fuel, but they don't want us to use it.
Remember the Volkswagon Rabbit diesel? It got like 50mpg back in the 80's. Oh but it's such a dirty fuel. More scam. They just want to fleece every penny out of the peasants as possible.
It's priced higher because the market is comparatively inelastic.
Prices goes high, vacations are put off, mileage foregone. Producers and factories still deliver products, so go regardless of price. So market learned 20 years ago to shift accordingly and diesel has been permanently higher since.
GW "....where no real common interest exists..."
Pretty sure, GW wasn't calculating the threats of ballistic missiles.
Isolation won't work, in today's world.
Most of the issues we face today are a direct result of our meddling in other countries’ affairs. Iran and Ukraine are the two more recent examples. This is what Washington advised us not to do.
American foreign policy is a family business, eh?
Gramps overthrows the foreign country, pops meddles endlessly, the country grows into a snarling beast, and sonny puts it down.
Yep, all foreign policy engagements, started and maintained poorly for a long time. Doesn't mean that sonny has to take it off anyone anymore. So he puts the problem to bed, whoever may have started it.
You going to say sonny did a bad thing?
At least do it with the consent of the family, people gramps and pops ignored. Congress, particularly the House of Representatives is the direct representative of “we the people.” Otherwise stay home!
The consent was delivered at election time. If withdrawn, congress can always impeach and senate remove. Until then...
GW didn't/couldn't calculate the threat of ballistic missiles, nukes and the like. The threats stretch across the globe.
Agreed on Ukraine -- the deep state forced that fleecing of The U.S. taxpayer. WEF had the Biden admin, wrapped around their finger. 100's of thousands of dead Ukrainians w/ millions displaced... and we paid !$175B for... what? answer; WEF De-pop agenda.
Trump, 180 degrees, the opposite. When a ME country that hates your culture - that wants to end your culture, threatens our negotiators with 11 nukes in a few weeks - the smart leader reacts.
A wise leader doesn’t trample the Constitution. He brings the case for attacking another nation before the people and Congress issues a declaration of war. Otherwise he is acting unilaterally, as a dictator.
So - SCOTUS can decide. The litigating left, would love to cook his ass... But they're not. So, you may cry to the sky, until they do.
"Dictator" is a load of bullshit. China and Russia support Iran.... but where are they?
You'd prefer to wait for Iran to build those 11 nukes, right?
I'm glad he didn't wait. Did you put a Ukraine flag in your front yard in 2022? .... do you have an Iranian flag out front now?
Peace through strength..... wishing for a Jimmy Carter type response, maybe gets us another 47 years of terrorism with the nuclear threat for all. They threatened us... and people like you think they're kidding?
The bankers and the otherwise wealthy managed to overturn the simple non-alignment position of the first few Presidents...Their enemy Jackson then ended the Bank of the United States, but along came Abe Lincoln who trashed the entire Constitution for a war that killed 10% of the American people....
I wonder if John realizes he just made Washington's case against our being in NATO. What is the point?
Framing?
That the 1797 world is just like 2026? Let's just throw out 229 years of history?
Provocative yes; asking the right questions, NO.
I can't tell you how many times I read that speech, that was very pertinent in it's time. Just sayin'.
