Iran War

Gaza Was The Rubicon of US Society’s Moral Degeneracy. Everything After is Noise.

Where are the human chains in DC?
Where are Democrats leading marches?
Where are the celebrities pretending to care about human rights in award shows?
Where are the intellectuals? The scholars? The veterans? The churches?

Where is ANY resistance to this?

Even Nazi Germany had some internal resistance.

This isn’t just Trump.

This is the collective failure of a society.pic.twitter.com/vYVdBxv8PG

American Psycho

Where is the opposition to this deranged autocrat? Where is “the resistance”? Who among American leadership is pushing back against this obvious war crime? Where are the fiery condemnations from the Democratic Party against this promised atrocity? Where is the American media? Why have they abandoned even the pretense of moral responsibility to tell the truth about what is happening in this country? How has this failed businessman, this reality-TV personality, cowed an entire generation of politicians, pundits, journalists, businessmen, soldiers, and intellectuals?

Every major institution in the United States seems unwilling or unable to resist. That isn’t just weakness; it’s complicity.

Libs may look down on Hegseth and Trump openly exulting in terrorism and mass murder, but they were complicit in the exact same violence when it was presented to them as humanitarian intervention in Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan. Only the most superficial optics have changed.

For Civilization to Prevail, the U.S. Must be Stopped

If this is an honest question, I’d say: Americans are rooting against America because we facilitated a genocide and followed it with a surprise attack on a girls elementary school followed by attacks on universities, medical centers, more schools, a world famous pharmaceutical research center, a volley ball team, an unfinished bridge we claimed was transporting weapons and then a nuclear power plant. We are now promising endless attacks on civilian infrastructure.

We are hunting and targeting anyone who might be involved in ceasefire negotiations.

Most people do not pay enough attention to have absorbed all the propaganda about the U.S. and Iran. So people coming to this fresh see us for what we are: absolute monsters. And monsters must be stopped. That’s why people are rooting against us and for civilization to prevail.https://t.co/tfKbnQpQkk

Welcome to The Age of The Peripheral Man

Dear Americans —

Welcome to the age of the Peripheral Man.

The people you mocked for being primitive and savage, the barbarians from the edges of your empire, the ones to be conquered and ordered around, fit only to grow your bananas, to mine your minerals, to pump your oil, to work your sweatshops, to watch your films and consume your culture. As far as you can remember, you thought the Peripheral Man had nothing to offer you. You thought you were smarter, stronger, and wiser just because you were the ones on top. But something is changing inside you. You don’t want to admit it, but be honest…you’ve had this feeling for a while now. You’ve sensed that something was amiss, that there was something you’ve been keeping from yourself, a profound truth that you had locked up in the deepest recesses of your mind. In this time of American decline, these restraints are no longer working as they should, and you can feel those half-formed fears floating up from the deep, demanding to be heard. And you recoil, scared to confront the truth. And it is this: the Peripheral Man is better, smarter, and stronger than you. Those backwards men and primitive women, the one’s you’ve looked down on for so long…they’re everything that you are not.

They are hard where you are soft. They are wise while you are shallow. They are used to waiting, while you’re entitled and want everything now. They are resourceful, while you’re wasteful. They know their own culture and language and your culture and language, while you barely know your own. They underestimate themselves and overdeliver, while you overestimate yourself and underperform. They have felt defeat and humiliation, while you’ve always been on top. You are atomized, while they are communal. Their chaotic societies have made them sophisticated and versatile, while your well-oiled social machinery has made you simple and rigid. Stability has made you weak, while chaos has made them strong. You have been cruel in your carelessness, while they have always paid the price — not just for their actions, but yours. You have forgotten, they remember.

We know that these are frightening and uncertain times for you, dear Americans. But there is hope. Listen to the Peripheral Man. Your own kind doesn’t have the answers. Your own kind doesn’t even know what questions to ask. Your own kind doesn’t even know what questions to ask. But the Peripheral Man does. We know. We are him. We are her.

Gaza and Iran Affirm Dems Are Only Controlled Opposition

True to form, the Democrats immediately signalled their readiness to fund the war, on the assurance that there was a ‘plan’. As Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin put it, ‘we’re in it’. They had no disagreement of principle, having been fully complicit themselves in the Gaza genocide – all they offered was cavilling about process and tactics. And why not? The Democrats had long assimilated Trump’s first-term foreign policy lines regarding China and the Middle East. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jefferies vied to out-hawk Trump on negotiations with Iran: ‘no side deals’ they insisted. The Democrats voted through Trump’s massive military spending bill; they gave a standing ovation for his sabre-rattling against Iran in the State of the Union address; there was also quiet admiration in the Democratic establishment – openly expressed by Hillary Clinton – for the way he bullied European vassals into bumping up their NATO spending…

A striking datum of this war is how few attempts have been made at selling it, rhetorically dignifying it, morally arming it or situating it in some context of shared Western interests. While the belligerati rehearse exhausted arguments about armed liberation, Pete Hegseth waxes lyrical about ‘death and destruction from the sky all day long’; while they talk de-escalation, Trump demands ‘UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER’; where they seek intelligibility, the administration offers barefaced lies, evasions, contradictions and grandstanding. Of course, since the Gaza genocide, in which Washington spearheaded a global coalition behind a far-right extermination campaign while liberal apologists cultivated a studied obliviousness, the belligerati have refined their capacity for cognitive dissonance. But the situation has moved on. They may once, two decades ago, have been useful to a violently adventurist, rightist administration going to war – but no more. The right no longer caters to, nor needs, its liberal outriders. They hang on out of habit.

Conscientious U.S. Service Members: Call 1-800-379-2679

Hundreds have called our hotline. The most common thing we hear from service members and their families is that the Minab school bombing was the catalyst that turned them against the war and the military as a whole.

FCC Chair Threatens News Outlets Covering Iran War

Here’s the Chairman of the FCC threatening broadcasters covering the Iran war in ways the administration dislikes with license revocation. They’re clearly not panicking.

Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions – also known as the fake news – have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up.

The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they… https://t.co/7bBgnsbalw

Armageddon Is A U.S. Military Objective

Per journalist Jonathan Larsen a widely shared evangelical ideological framework infects the command level of the United States military and it now drives the Israel/US attack of Iran:

A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God’s plan and that Pres. Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,” according to a complaint by a non-commissioned officer.

From Saturday morning through Monday night, more than 110 similar complaints about commanders in every branch of the military had been logged by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF).

The complaints came from more than 40 different units spread across at least 30 military installations, the MRFF told me Monday night.

The MRFF is keeping the complainants anonymous to prevent retribution by the Defense Department. The Pentagon did not immediately respond to my request for comment.

One complainant identified themselves as a non-commissioned officer (NCO) in a unit currently outside the Iran combat zone but in Ready-Support status, deployable at any time. The NCO said they were Christian and emailed the MRFF on behalf of 15 troops, including at least 11 Christians, one Muslim, and one Jew. (Full email printed below.)

The NCO wrote to the MRFF that their commander “urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ.”

Thanks to Trump/Hegseth, the normalization of Christian nationalism within the armed forces also drives command to express their religious enthusiasm about how “bloody” the conflict must become in order to fulfill apocalyptic prophecy. This is not only a violation of the Constitution, but the expression of a theology in which maximum destruction is a desired outcome.
