John Kiriakou says going back to the 80’s everytime an Israeli prime minister would come to the White House they would ask the American president to bomb Iran. All said no, except Trump.
Dear pro-war Iranians,
Look, I don’t like the regime. My entire extended family is Baha’i. I lived in Iran as an adult and saw the rot and repression first hand.
But as a journalist, I also covered Iraq and saw what Americans did to the place. I was in Lebanon when the Israelis were shelling apartment blocks. I witnessed Libya being torn apart after a violent upheaval without any plan. I saw firsthand what happened to Syria when it became a playground for regional and world powers.
These countries won’t recover for 30 years.
You now have a senile gameshow host and an indicted war criminal launching a war against Iran. They killed a school full of children on day one and sent a toxic cloud over Tehran on week one. They are hitting Unesco sites and apartment buildings filled with bewildered civilians and destroying the country’s economy.
They have no plan, or strategy, or internatonal support. Even Americans don’t support the war. Trump and Bibi are gonna smash up a lot of stuff and leave the place a mess, with Khamenei still in charge. Then China will move in and buy up the country cheap, and maybe Russia will get a Persian Gulf base.
None of this will lead to democracy. Trump and Bibi don’t even believe in democracy for their own countries. But it also won’t lead to constitutional monarchy or anything decent or normal.
It will only lead to ruin, blackouts, water outages, poverty, hunger, lawlessness, and despair.

OMG, SHUT DOWN DOGE:
A DOGE official in his 20s testified today that he canceled federal research grants based on personal judgment.
No peer review. No subject matter expertise. No formal process.
Just him. And books he had read.
He flagged a grant studying HIV in prisons during the Reagan and Clinton era — decades of academic research — as “one of the craziest” because it mentioned LGBTQ in the description.
He flagged a grant examining the military service experiences of Black, Native American, female, and immigrant veterans as crazy.
His qualification for making these calls: “A person can have enough judgment from reading books.”
He was then asked if he regretted cutting programs that may have led to people dying.
“No.”
Did DOGE reduce the deficit?
“No.”
A person in their 20s. Reading books. Canceling peer-reviewed academic research. Deciding what knowledge the American government is allowed to fund.
No experience. No regret. No results.
Under oath.
Recorded my first video essay, about fascism. Not as an insult, or hyperbole. But as a clinical diagnosis from some of the world's leading historians, including the scholar who spent 60 years warning people not to use the word carelessly.

The CEO of Palantir just said the quiet part out loud.
Alex Karp — whose company builds surveillance and defense technology for the U.S. government — just openly stated that AI will deliberately shift economic power away from highly educated, often female, Democratic-leaning workers and toward vocationally trained, working-class, often male voters.
He then admitted these technologies are — his word — “dangerous” and “suicidal,” and that the only justification for deploying them is the military argument: if we don’t, our adversaries will.
So let’s be clear about what was just said on the record: A defense contractor CEO told you AI is being built to restructure the American class system, that it will destroy the economic power of an entire political demographic, and that the only way to sell it to the public is to wrap it in national security.
President of Spain Pedro Sanchez:
"Spain doesn't have resources like Oil reserves or Nuclear bombs but that doesn't mean we will not fight against imperialist Israel and try to stop them"
Some wars are fought to be on the right side of History!!
Man with a spine !!
🚨Prof. Jeffrey Sachs killed Benjamín Netanyahu
🚨"He's a Deep, Dark Son of a Bitch, Sorry to Tell You"
This is the video clip that president Trump reposted.
🚨"That war came from Netanyahu, actually. He's a deep, dark son of a bitch, sorry to tell you, because he's gotten us into endless wars and because of the power of all of this in the U.S. politics, he's gotten his way."
US President-elect Donald Trump shared a video to his Truth Social platform which showcased American professor Jeffrey Sachs criticising and insulting Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
