Love your work. One quibble. The Iraq War wasn’t a “mistake”, but a hoax, perpetrated for war profits. “Oops, we killed a million people.” No. They knew there were no WMDs, and Secretary Powell knew there were no WMDs when he spoke to the UN. These people literally don’t make mistakes. They carry out war crimes, then “apologize” later. No accountability, because we know, hey, people make mistakes!

Madeline Albright being asked about killing 500k Iraqi children, "Hard question, yes it was worth it" . Evil people smile if needed. I would love to see a collage of political smiles. That practiced smile of teeth. I have nightmares seeing Demented Biden smile. The Reagan smile, Clinton smile. Will the smiling people unleash the weapons of mass destruction soon? We had our Gulf of Tonkin so.....

I literally heard someone say, "it seemed like a good idea at the time." I didn't have too much respect for that person to begin with, but immediately lost what little I had.

TL:DR: The War on Iraq has subsequently become an embarrassment that Frum, Boot and other criminals wish to distance themselves from. At the same time, these criminals have changed none of the rationales used to provide an excuse for that war.

"Ukraine - this time, it's different, we really mean it this time!"

These guys should not be rounded up and shot. They should be rounded up and shipped to the front lines in Ukraine. Now.

Yes! I believe in giving these demons a chance to "enjoy" the bloodshed up close and personal, too. I hear that the average Ukrainian soldier lasts about 4 hours, so we shouldn't worry about packing them a lunch.

Mark Twain set my Gold Standard on these matters: "My disagreement with the military is that I don't like to kill people until I get to know them a little bit." (Likely slightly paraphrased.)

If you want to go down the deepest, darkest rabbit hole: check out the coverup of Pat Tillman's death in Afghanistan. Thanks for everything you do. I'm not a lefty but appreciate those who stick to their principles.

"I'm Pat fucking Tillman!"

(purported last words as being killed by "friendly" US sniper in Afghanistan)

What I like about Caitlin's writings, I am far, far, far, far left and I don't know that I know what Caitlin's politics are. Truth is not political and maybe never has been. Two nuclear weapons and the phrase it saved lives while not taking the call being sued for peace.

I agree. We don't need no more stinking, useless wars. No way would I ever fight to protect the leftist/RINO/neocon DC Swamp rats.

There are no "leftists" in DC or US government as a whole.

Thank for that, not one.

Maybe he means 'leftist' in the Stalin sense.

Not of any sense. D.C. is filled with Corporatists following money. Even Bernie my last hope is taking the cash. I wonder what Stalin would do today? Could Trotsky find his way?

Thanks, but what else do you expect from these fucking Zionist agents?

I remember when they found some rusty aluminum tubes in Iraq. They told us we were supposed to go to war over this. That's when I knew the fix was in.

Here's hoping that one day we live in a society that has become so healthy that it is no longer acceptable to be a neocon... and neither having been a neocon in the past and pretend to be a repented one now!

I was listening to KPFA (Pacifica network out of San Francisco) this morning and the show "Upfront" did a piece on the City of Oakland's demolition of a homeless encampment, known as the Wood Street Commons. They interviewed a guy who lived there. He made so much more sense than virtually every politician and government official I've been exposed to for years now. Listen:

So Frum praises the US for getting rid of ISIS. Conveniently, he ignores the fact that if the US had not invaded, there would never have been Al Qeda in Iraq or ISIS, which evolved from it. So, first we created ISIS, and then we destroyed it. In between, we employed ISIS and other jihadist groups in Syria to fight Assad and the Syrian government. What a BS artist Frum is--one of the all-time greats.

The U.S. government has a long history of going into other countries and creating monsters that come back to bite them in the ass 20 years later and then patting themselves on the back for killing them.

you might want to read Chalmers Johnson's book "Blowback" - the roots are prior and deeper.

I read that book many years ago. It’s a classic and just as relevant today as when it was first published.

NWO Wars of Profit (Theirs) and Blood (Ours) from Vietnam to Ukraine. Empires just stomp on the weeds beneath their feet since time began. BUT, the Bushie-Clintonista-Obamaite-biden Cartels are especially Despicable.

There is No reason to try to save the current USSA, imo. This is a bit "Tricky" to form alternative economic-social forms to Restore a Republic in some regions following the Reset Collapse. Using the NWO thrust to turn their efforts back upon them as Our counter effort is "How" we can prevail in keeping some Rational Sanity.

There are many socialist democRats and Rinos with allegiences to the Deep Statists and Tyranny.

Discernment is critical as many Traitors will attempt to appear as Patriots, CW's are messy affairs.

"These people are worse than serial killers, because they've got body counts that Jeffrey Dahmer or John Wayne Gacy could only dream of."

Let's not insult the memories of those two great human beings by comparing them to neocons. Jeff and John didn't kill and dismember nearly as many people as the US War Machine did in Iraq and Afghanistan and are currently doing in Ukraine. The US is definitely no saint in these matters, but even the devil doesn't want to go so low as to associate with the likes of our bloodthirsty leaders.

Great article Catlin!

It's hard to find a better scientific study peer reviewed on American psychopaths and their psychopathy than this! 😁
