New Issue Of JOHNSTONE: Secretary Of Perpetual War
The new edition of JOHNSTONE is now available to order in print or download as a pay-what-you-want e-book version.
As the US murder machine ramps up for yet another war of aggression against yet another oil-rich nation in Venezuela, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has been trying to meme his way out of a major scandal after he was exposed as having authorized the “double-tap” murder of men who survived a US missile strike on a boat in the Caribbean.
In mockery of the uproar over the news, Hegseth posted a meme on Twitter featuring an AI-generated image of the children’s book character Franklin the Turtle with the caption “Franklin Targets Narco Terrorists”. The phrase “narco terrorists” is the slogan the Trump administration has come up with to justify its extrajudicial executions of alleged drug traffickers which it has been using as a pretense to amass a major military presence in the waters near Venezuela.
I personally am glad the US has swapped out the name Department of Defense for the far more honest name Department of War. When was the last time the American military was used to defend the United States? It never happens. Call it what it is. Only thing more honest would be to call it the Department of Perpetual War.

War is nothing more than a part of the depopulation agenda. The insane idea of fighting for your country that treats you like a caged animal and suppresses all your natural freedoms. Somehow you are enraged with hate for the "enemy" without realizing that enemy is your own government.
Government pretends that war is power. The brain dead masses buy into it hook, line and bullet.
I'd go a step further and, on advice of Judge Napolitano, call it Department of War Crimes. Hegseth has turned into a monster, like his boss.
