Hegseth : Never before have I seen a public figure display his/her depravity so proudly. How doth the world at large feel about this utter lack of any morals, a pure pursuit of self interest at the expense of everyone else, this naked reach for evil world domination? The Trumpists even share that barbaric war-worshiping religious cultism with the Nazis, referring often to Christianity but never to the teachings of Christ.

Compared with Hegseth, Joe Stalin was a peacenik.

Philippa Rees's avatar

Yes, insane levels of delusion from the US inner circle. Just as insane as our rabbit-in-the-headlights Starmer. He lacks the resources to do what Hegseth is promising but his support of genocide and aiding Netanyahu with spy flights and intelligence is only different in scale, but just as evil.

Humiliating, isn't it? To find this once respected country ( the one with all that literature, and Newton and Shakespeare, Turner and Blake and and and...) governed by the midgets trying to elbow for the front row, when the 'big boys' are in town?

Susan T's avatar

Humiliating is the least of their problems. They are demented and with even less morals than they had before.

Veronica Baker's avatar

To be honest, I'm seventy one, I can't ever remember a time when our government and military had any morals, they got lost a long, long time ago.

Philippa Rees's avatar

I meant the humiliation is ours! They are all beyond shame, or guilt, or honesty. You need any one of the three to be humiliated!

Rage is more fitting that humiliation in that case.

Philippa,

I think the condition could be called ‘The Peter Principle’ I.e., eventually, after the best leadership has reigned, the real McCoy rises to the top, and it isn’t pretty…

Nancy's avatar

When there is no other justification, “religion” gets invoked. I guess this is what happens when muscles develop and brains don’t.

The U.S. population is periodically subjected to video clips in the media of Pete Hegseth working out shirtless in the gym — Robert Kennedy, Jr., too. It’s like a cult thing.

The whole timing etc; of firing on Iran was ritualistic and very free masonic. Fired the first shot at 3:30 and Trump had a white cap on, wearing of white head gear on certain occasions is a freemason thing.

Then there was the date, 28th, the 11th day of Ramadan and of course it's the ninth month on the calendar in Iran. 9/11 which makes the murder of all those school children a ritualistic sacrifice to their Lucifarian God.

Landru's avatar

Wow, not long ago I would have laughed and said that nuts. Well, nope I believe what you are saying is spot on. In order for this to happen there have been a number of decades to put people and dollars in position. Why I didn't see this before with so many decades of crazy I have no idea. : (

Liana Chenoweth Kornfield's avatar

Yes, but there is also cunning (if not brains) behind the muscles. At bottom (as in bottom line or Imperial cesspool) this has nothing to do with "religion" or even with "color" or ethnicity - all divide and conquer smokescreens. It is worth taking the time to read these articles, posted by Ismaele about the big picture/goal operating for over a century:

Our military jets are shooting down Iranian drones so as far as I am concerned that's offensive not defensive.

Though offensive in more ways than one. One of our British pilots was bragging he'd got first kill, thankfully he was only talking about a drone.

Philippa Rees, .... and Starmer gets insulted for his troubles by his masters!

Feral Finster's avatar

Yes, what does anyone propose to do about it? Hegseth is proud of this.

Might as well try to shame a wolf by calling him a "predator".

unwarranted's avatar

I think Trump’s former followers have been some of the most vocal and determined opponents of this war.

Trump owns the slaughter of school children and the killing of a young women’s volleyball team, and the assassination of Iran’s supreme leader, but it’s worth remembering that this war was part of the Wolfowitz Doctrine to cement a West Asian stronghold for Israel and the American Empire. That was formulated over 20 years ago, and hopefully Iran’s resistance will be a sign that the Israeli cabal in Washington is losing traction.

Between Epstein and this war, the whole Washington cesspool of Zionist loyalists has made the U.S. government a front for an extremist, largely foreign faction. The American people are the dupes, and agent orange is the grand dupe.

But this is the overt and unambiguous realm, and the U.S. is under the yoke of intelligence operators of whom Israelis are well represented. Just as the Democrat Party is indistinguishable from the Republican Party in all geopolitical and military matters, the treachery of Mossad and the treasonous strategies of the CIA are of the same cloth.

The house of lies is being exposed, and America’s reflexive maneuvers, i.e., destabilization, regime change, bombing and killing, these are the means by which the Empire is being seen and its illegitimacy is being recognized.

I am hoping that America’s declared enemies, Iran and Russia and China will remain vigilant and I hope Americans will recognize that those designated enemies are the only ones who can force the rogue government here to be mortally wounded.

Nancy's avatar

Good points. I don’t think Trump is a dupe, though. He’s probably never in his lifetime done anything for anyone or anything but himself. His family has already made billions from deals with Arab states, and I think he views Gaza as just another real estate opportunity. He also wants to keep the support of his Zionist donors.

unwarranted's avatar

I think that he believed whoever was advising him who convinced him that Iran could be turned into a vasssl state with relative rapidity. This is exactly what he saw happen in Ukraine, and he may be being blackmailed or perhaps he has nobody he can trust. I don’t dispute his criminal record as a businessman, but he had no political platform or insights, and he was doing fairly well as a globalist antagonist. But this war is a gift to the Zionist neocons, and that wasn’t his agenda.

Susan Mercurio's avatar

No, those powerful entities are not the only ones, nor should we look to anyone else to save us from ourselves.

WE have the power to stand up and stop our government, but we have allowed ourselves to become intimidated and to give away our power. We can always take it back. We are beginning to realize that we don't have to support whatever our rogue government wants to do.

Please read From Dictatorship to Democracy by Dr Gene Sharp. He tells us how to do it.

unwarranted's avatar

I will refrain from ingesting another recipe for reforming the Western Empire from within. If you believe that the Epstein files and Western imperialism are unrelated and also believe that there is any institution in the West that can rescue the spiraling empire, let me recommend this discussion.

If as many personnel are as willing to do as they are vocal. We might see something like that. During Vietnam after repeated charge the hill orders, many never gave another order. That is the difference in a war for an unknown cause and defending the homeland. Interesting.

aDoozy's avatar

You said it, Patrick~they refer often to Christianity, but never to the teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

How can Baptist minister Mike Huckabee, who used to preach the Gospel, and up until he left his TV show and book-wrting- believed in the Gospel...how can he then buy into prepare things here on earth for the Messiah to come to earth? Jesus doesn't need or request that all of Israel's enemies be killed before He can come again, Humans can't make Jesus come--He is God. He will come again at His time of choosing. And what kind of crappy god would order people to murder and obliterate human beings, so that then he would grace their presence here on earth? These Zionist cultists, the Chabad Jewish sect, are heretics. If not all possessed by demons, the rest are lunatics.

The US has WMD. Iraq never did. The US has nuclear weapons. Iran never has. The US is responsible for more death and destruction across the globe than any other nation on Earth. The US is the largest weapons manufacturer by far. The US has the largest military budget in the world. The US has the largest prison population, hands down. The US has the most grotesque wealth and income inequality by far. The US has one of the highest maternal and infant mortality rates among industrialized countries. Can anyone imagine a more lethal, toxic, pathological cesspool of a country?

Brianna Amore's avatar

The US also has the biggest problem with toxic religion infesting our own government than any other nation other than Islamic nations.

Helen Londe MD's avatar

Not to forget that Israel also has nuclear weapons.

And the US is the only country in the world to have ever used nuclear weapons as well as tanks that fire munitions with depleted uranium (DU).

“The US has WMD. Iraq never did.”

Good.

“The US has nuclear weapons. Iran never has.”

Also good.

“ The US is responsible for more death and destruction across the globe than any other nation on Earth.”

lol it’s nothing compared to the deathtolls racked up by Axis power nations, communist countries against their own people, or a typical scale Chinese civil war.

“The US is the largest weapons manufacturer by far.”

Cool.

“The US has the largest military budget in the world.”

We also have the largest GDP by far, and as a percentage of GDP is not much higher than other countries.

“The US has the largest prison population, hands down.”

Given the insane number of repeat offenders wandering around, it needs to be far higher.

“The US has the most grotesque wealth and income inequality by far.”

It’s actually lower than communist China.

“The US has one of the highest maternal and infant mortality rates among industrialized countries.”

Americans are obese as shit and like to do a lot of dumb unhealthy things.

“Can anyone imagine a more lethal, toxic, pathological cesspool of a country?”

Plenty.

A definite NO, Charlie Kaftan.

But are the US citizenry so cowed down, and kept ignorant, conditioned and brainwashed, that they cannot rebel against the swamp that rules them? See the neoliberal, neocolonial exploitative gangster capitalist system for what it really is.? That their malevolence meted out to the global south has come home to roost?

Landru's avatar

How many nuclear weapons do you think israel has? Several people with knowledge have said 200-300 weapons. Without knowing the amount of Uranium israel imported it is very hard to guess.

🇮🇶 Secretary-General of the Sayyed Al-Shuhada Brigades in the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, Abu Alaa Al-Walae:

To the American people,

Trump and Netanyahu have seized your democracy, taken your taxes, and sent your sons into hell after convincing you that an imminent threat was looming over you. The truth is that the only real threat is your president turning into a puppet to fulfill Netanyahu’s desires under the slogan “Israel First.”

You should take action as soon as possible to reclaim your country and prevent the bloodshed of your sons. Trump and his administration are lying to you. What is happening right now in the Middle East is a tragic waste of your human and financial resources. Even the Gulf states, which for decades believed they were protected by U.S. bases, have suddenly discovered that they are merely advanced outposts for the zionist entity and must now provide safe havens and escape routes for their soldiers.

Now is your time. The faster you act, the more you can protect your future, which is now more threatened and uncertain than ever.

"demented religious zealotry". That's the clue to much of this.

As a pagan, I say f*ck all these traditionally brainwashed cretins who compete for the title of best and most powerful cloud being, competing for that "honor" through the horror of homicidal war — and a justification list predicated on which religion's fanatics have historically murdered more widely and efficiently.

Because so many of us are distracted and/or overburdend with bills and just trying to make ends meet. The Fourth Estate has been taken over and corrupted by right wing billionaires so that they can control the narrative to fit their needs, and interest. We don't get the news/information we need to make informed decisions, we get infotainment. Because so many of us are trapped in the rat race, we have very little, if any time to devote to Civics, which BTW, we haven't taught since Reagan got rid of it in his first term. What downtime we have is consumed by amusing ourselves, as in Neil Postman's brilliant book titled "Amusing Ourselves to Death".

Today people live in their own little bubbles, disconnected from the outside world which is exactly how the ruling class wants it. It's not until something affects one personally, that one reacts. "The war with Iran, not my problem, too busy with work or I'd rather be chilling with my friends playing video games". We're not taught Civics or Critical Thinking for a reason. We're just given bread and circuses to keep us ignorant, and pacified.

She'd rather be online playing World of Warcraft. It's like Soma from Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Then again, that might explain why she's on Zoloft. At least the Brits are demonstrating against the ongoing genocide in Gaza. You also have the BBC, and your journalist are head and shoulders above our pseudo-journalist talking heads.

Veronica Baker's avatar

BBC, the British Bullshitting Corporation, sadly I haven't your faith in our journalists, possibly two or three haven't sold out, all three belong to different papers. There again I don't have a television by choice and I don't take a paper, which is nice. I used to have daily paper until it too sold out, plenty of alternative media and what I call the awful clips, like Starmer, I see on those, that's enough.

As you say, demonstrating has not stopped here, though Starmer would love to take us all off the street, court disagreed.

In the states I stick to independent media. Legacy MSM is just a mouthpiece for the oligarchy to control the narrative. Our Fourth Estate has been co-opted for the benefit of the 1% and the corporations they control. I'm not fully immersed as you in the U.K. when it comes to your legacy MSM, particularly the journalist outlets like the BBC. I am aware though, of the damage Rupert Murdock has done to journalism in the U.K., Australia, and of course here in the US. I was impressed by how journalist would put political figures like Tony Blair feet to the fire and not relent until they got their questions answered, unlike here in the US, where political figures are given soft ball questions.

Thank you for this important comment Leo. It's been especially shocking to watch so many in the US population already going back to the blue liars vs. the red liars election madness, even after witnessing and knowing the horrifying BIPARTISAN wars under every President and the ongoing BIPARTISAN worsening genocide in Gaza/Palestine for 2-1/2 years! Intelligence and critical thinking, not to mention feelings and empathy, have been crushed by indoctrinated families and indoctrinated so called "education" for decades.

John Ressler's avatar

I once tried (unsuccessfully I am happy to say) to kill a bully in my early 20's. He never bothered me again and I learned an important lesson. It was a horrible experience for me and the former bully. I thought about this when Hamas attacked on October 7th.

Veronica Baker's avatar

Yes, you have to make a stand or you're doomed or at least stand up for those who are being bullied even if not yourself. I've always found it easier to stand up or speak out for others over myself, not sure why.

Yes, there were a lot of lies told about Oct 7th, you use the government name like the West who use it to confuse the issue. It was mainly Al Qassam who went through to invade the Israeli military base that is set amongst the houses there, but after a few months Al Quds were often fighting by their side, Shia and Sunni working together as they often do despite what the West says.

The rhetoric is irrelevant. Brian Barletich wrote: ..."The war on Iran is not a war 'for Israel.'" (Or apocalyptic fantasy) It is a US war on multipolarism, and its result will determine the next phase of US aggression against Russia, China, and the rest of the multipolar world. "If you hear the Democrats complaining, it's because the war in Iran is diverting the attention and resources from the war in Ukraine. The goals remain the same; the priorities are different.
