our conscience cannot afford to let donald trump win his war of choice.....

HUMANS! WE OWE IT TO HUMANITY! WE HAVE TO DEFEAT DONALD TRUMP’S WAR OF CHOICE…. 

IT’S A DILEMMA FOR OUR OWN FUTURE… SHOULD WE LET OR EVEN HELP DONALD WIN HIS “EXCURSION” WE BECOME LIKE HIM. WE BECOME WAR CRIMINALS.

WHETHER WE LIKE OR DISLIKE THE “REGIME” IN IRAN, EVEN SHOULD WE BE ATHEIST AND NOT APPROVE OF THIS “REGIME” RELIGIOUS BELIEF, LETTING DONALD TRUMP GET AWAY WITH MURDER WILL BE A STAIN ON OUR CONSCIENCE THAT WILL LAST FOR A LONG TIME.

“THERE'S A SMELL IN HERE THAT WILL OUTLAST RELIGION” SAID KENNY PROPHETICALLY… AND THE SMELL IS DONALD TRUMP’S DESPICABLE RUTHLESS PSYCHOPATHY…

HIS WAR IS A CRIME. WE CANNOT LET HIM WIN....

WE CANNOT BE HIS PARTNER IN CRIME.

My enemies are in Washington and Tel Aviv. In London and Canberra.

BY Caitlin Johnstone

 

My enemies are not in Iran. My enemies are in Washington and Tel Aviv. In London and Canberra.

My enemies are the western oligarchs and empire managers who are poisoning my society and making everything awful while slaughtering human beings with the help of my tax dollars.

My enemies are the tyrants who are turning our civilization into a mind-controlled dystopia where it is increasingly illegal to criticize the abuses of my government and its allies, and increasingly difficult to find information which runs counter to the imperial narrative.

My enemies are the empire apologists and the hasbarists. The propagandists and spinmeisters. Those who side with Israel and the United States against basic human interests.

Imperial bootlickers always accuse me of writing “propaganda” for the “enemy”, with “enemy” meaning whoever the US-centralized empire happens to be attacking or preparing to attack on any given day. I always want to tell them “Motherfucker YOU are my enemy. YOU. You and the empire you simp for.”

The Iranians have never done anything to me. The Iranians pose no threat to me. They didn’t bring war to my country. The empire I live under brought war to theirs.

The Iranians haven’t robbed me and my fellow westerners of all democratic political agency to create an oligarchy run by megalomaniacal plutocrats and psychopathic government agencies.

The Iranians haven’t locked down all political systems throughout western society making it impossible to vote our way into peace, economic justice, and government transparency.

The Iranians aren’t working tirelessly to brainwash and manipulate everyone in my society to turn us all into apathetic flag-waving morons who care more about sports and celebrities than the fact that their government is committing horrifying war crimes.

The Iranians aren’t trying to make it illegal for me to criticize Israel and its abuses, or working to imprison my countrymen for uttering normal political slogans in opposition to a genocidal apartheid state.

The Iranians aren’t making my society crazy, stupid and evil while we hurtle toward ecological disaster, nuclear armageddon and AI tech dystopia.

I haven’t spent years watching a live-streamed genocide in Gaza being perpetrated by the Iranians.

I’m not frightened that the Iranians will try to draft my son to fight and die in a crazy, evil war.

The Iranians are not doing any of these things to me. These are things the western power structure is doing.

I have no loyalty to that power structure. I have loyalty to my species, to my family, and to the values I hold sacred in my heart of hearts.

The US empire can get fucked.

Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation’: Trump-appointed intelligence official resigns over Iran war

A senior US intelligence official appointed by President Donald Trump abruptly announced he is stepping down from his post on Tuesday, citing misgivings about the administration’s war with Iran.

Joe Kent, who had been serving as the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, posted his resignation letter on X, contradicting the administration’s basis for launching the war and imploring Trump to end it.

“I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran,” Kent wrote in the letter. “Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”

The resignation is the highest-profile rebuke yet of the war effort from a Trump administration insider and staunch support of the MAGA movement, albeit one who instantly drew criticism for alleged antisemitism. It reflects how the conflict is roiling some of Trump’s most high-profile MAGA supporters, like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, even though rank-and-file Republicans largely back the president.

It also renews questions, which the administration has long struggled to answer, about why the US launched the effort in the first place. Some lawmakers and experts have raised doubts over the intelligence the president used to justify the war, and Kent’s account gives them fresh reason to criticize Trump’s move.

A senior US official confirmed that Kent was resigning.

Trump said Tuesday that it’s a “good thing” Kent resigned over his objections to the war with Iran, deriding him as “very weak on security.”

“When somebody is working with us that says they didn’t think Iran was a threat, we don’t want those people,” Trump said from the Oval Office. “They’re not smart people, or they’re not savvy people.”

The Office of Director of National Intelligence did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

After the initial wave of strikes against Iran, Trump cited an “imminent threat” to the US, and administration officials said the US acted in response to potential preemptive attacks by Iran on forces in the region — claims that were contradicted in Pentagon briefings to Capitol Hill, where defense officials said Iran was not planning to attack unless struck first.
