After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. 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.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war. Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.
I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.
Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.
Dear World,
Americans overwhelmingly do not support going to war. In 2024, we voted to end foreign wars and regime change.
Americans want affordable health, home, and auto insurance and good healthcare.
Americans want rich powerful pedos and rapists strung up on gallows, even if it collapses our own government. They’ve also said wood chippers. (Literally quoting them)
Americans want a good paying job and to be able to buy a nice home.
Americans just want good trade deals and world peace, and we love to travel to many of your lovely countries.
I just thought someone should tell you outside of our ruling class.
