Israel-Firsters Laura Loomer and Mark Levin: Loudest Insane Voices Pushing Donald Trump to Launch Nuclear Weapons.
Article republished by Jerry Alatalo | April 15, 2026

[Editor’s note: Harrison Berger writes: “More recently, Israel-firsters like Laura Loomer and Mark Levin were the loudest voices pushing Trump toward escalation and cheering him on as he threatened civilizational annihilation. Loomer, whom Trump reportedly solicits for advice, called on him to channel Curtis LeMay, the general whose fanatical bloodlust inspired Dr. Strangelove and who came within a hair of igniting nuclear war. Levin, for his part, arguably insinuated on his Fox News television show that dropping a nuclear bomb on Iran would be justified.” … Please share this information far and wide, and please feel free to share your thoughts/responses in the comments.

We Are the Barbarians
Iran continues to face airstrikes from Israel and the US (screenshot)
The president’s threat to annihilate Iranian civilization took America to a dark place.
By Harrison Berger, Reposted from The American Conservative, April 10, 2026
On Tuesday morning, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to declare that “a civilization will die tonight.” By 8 p.m., the U.S. announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran had begun. Whether the ceasefire holds (or even takes hold) is already in question—Iran and the U.S. appear to be offering contradictory accounts of what the 10-point plan they allegedly agreed to actually says.
The best hope that it might stick comes from Israel, where TV presenters who spent Monday salivating over a clock counting down the minutes and hours until Trump’s planned genocide of Iranians were left confused and outraged when the president backed down shortly before the deadline.
But whether or not Trump ultimately goes as far as the Israelis would like him to, Americans must now reckon with the destruction already carried out in our name, the civilization-destroying actions Trump has threatened, and the barbarians we have become in the process.
As Tucker Carlson, the most prominent critic of the war with Iran, pointed out in his viral monologue Monday, there was very little that was American or Western about Trump’s threat to destroy an entire civilization. That is not to say the U.S. government hasn’t committed serious crimes before, including wars of aggression. As a study published in The Lancet, a scientific journal, found, U.S. and European sanctions have killed 38 million people since 1971. But those shameful actions were at least concealed behind a pretext, not declared outright as the objective itself.
Though it may seem like a distinction without a difference, Carlson convincingly argues it matters significantly. By abandoning even the aspiration of higher laws, we have embraced the “law of the jungle,” which is “a brutal and unforgiving law” that will not stop at Iran’s borders. “We know from history that the things you do will be done unto you,” Carlson said. “Once you set a standard, you will have to live by that standard.”
Indeed, Trump’s threat to destroy Iranian civilization was not an expression of American values but the purest expression, and logical endpoint, of an ideology the United States has attached itself to under both Joe Biden and now Trump: Zionism and the Greater Israel project, first through U.S. support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing of the West Bank, and most recently through the joint war of aggression against Iran.
And while the American taxpayers forced to fund those wars are told they are fought on our behalf to save “civilization,” it is now impossible to think of any force in recent history more destructive and threatening to civilization than the Greater Israel project—which wages an ISIS-style campaign to destroy every artifact, center of knowledge, and source of beauty in the region, and does so with American weapons, American service members, and American money.
The record of what has already been destroyed provides evidence that the U.S. and Israel wish to do exactly to Iran what ISIS and its various backers did to Syria. According to Iran’s minister of cultural heritage, U.S. and Israeli strikes have damaged more than 131 historical sites across the country including museums, palaces, and UNESCO-listed landmarks, with the heaviest losses in Tehran.
Among the centuries-old structures destroyed by U.S.–Israeli bombs is Iran’s Golestan Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site; the Chehel Sotoun pavilion in Isfahan, a 17th-century monument from the Safavid period; the Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, one of the architectural jewels of the Islamic world; and the Fin Garden in Kashan, one of Iran’s oldest surviving gardens which dates to the late 16th century.
Dozens of universities and research centers have been struck, including the Iran University of Science and Technology, Isfahan University of Technology, and Sharif University of Technology, “Iran’s MIT,” whose computer science center was reduced to rubble. A Tehran synagogue was also struck on Passover.
Our descent into barbarism has long been in the making, and the fingerprints all over that transformation are recognizably Israeli. One of the earliest signs of our transition came when the “War Department” began posting drone strike footage, often as memes, on social media. Where the government once prosecuted WikiLeaks and scrambled to conceal its war footage out of embarrassment, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon now shamelessly publishes such imagery on its own initiative, a direct import from Israel, which pioneered the model of broadcasting its own war crimes during the assault on Gaza.
More recently, Israel-Firsters like Laura Loomer and Mark Levin were the loudest voices pushing Trump toward escalation and cheering him on as he threatened civilizational annihilation. Loomer, whom Trump reportedly solicits for advice, called on him to channel Curtis LeMay, the general whose fanatical bloodlust inspired Dr. Strangelove and who came within a hair of igniting nuclear war. Levin, for his part, arguably insinuated on his Fox News television show that dropping a nuclear bomb on Iran would be justified.
Whether or not the ceasefire holds, Americans will have to reckon with what has already been done in our name, and with the fact that the Israel-Firsters who cheered every escalation have not been removed from their positions of influence. They remain right in the president’s ear, defining not just his second term but the international symbol of destruction and barbarism we are in the process of becoming.

@Benjamin @PerspectiveDaily „Erste Antworten darauf, was »Compass Mitte« will, sind in einem schlanken 14-Punkte-Papier zu finden – das meiste davon klingt nicht nach Rebellion. Eher nach moderaten konservativen Positionen, die eben im Unionsspektrum zu finden sind.” heißt es im Artikel.
Ich sehe das nicht so; das Papier (https://www.compassmitte.net/die-idee) enthält durchaus Sätze, die ich bei der CDU noch nie oder schon lange nicht gesehen habe: etwa
- „Wir sind Christdemokraten. Die CDU ist keine konservative Partei. Die CDU vereint soziale, liberale und konservative Strömungen, denen das „C“ die Fließrichtung vorgibt.” (Punkt 3) oder
- „Die CDU ist in dem Wissen gegründet worden, dass Faschismus immer nur mit
Hilfe von Konservativen an die Macht gekommen ist.” (Punkt 4).Möge also Compass Mitte größer werden und in der CDU Einfluss gewinnen, dann wären einige Dinge weniger schlimm.

Fennel makes a good configuration file format, especially when the config file might need to contain some logic https://codeberg.org/benjamingeer/sqlstopwatch/src/branch/main/examples/sqlite-sakila.fnl #Fennel #rustlang #lisp

So I ended up writing a bunch of install/update scripts in Fennel:
https://framagit.org/benjamingeer/install-scripts
So when I get a notification in my RSS feed reader that there’s a new version of a program, I just run its update script. This doesn’t take care of dependencies, but I’m resisting the temptation to write a package manager. Something tells me the world doesn’t need one more package manager.

Thank you for the link, what a gift!
A remarkable piece, in a remarkable performance. Very moving.
I was moved to look for biographical background. Britten wrote the piece in 1942, in times as fragile as ours. He and Peter Pears returned from the US to England, on a Swedish cargo ship. German U-boats were active on the Atlantic, so this was no holiday trip. On a stop in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Britten had picked up a book of medieval poems, which during the voyage he turned into this extended piece.
From the medieval text: Christ's coming is "to rifle satans fold - all hell doth at his presence quake." Apt for these fraught times (his and ours).

Benjamin Britten & Peter Pears met in 1937 and quickly became friends, creative collaborators and lovers. Their partnership lasted for 40yrs (Britten passed in 1976) Pears was Britten’s muse and inspired him to center his operatic & choral work around the tenor voice/range.- including five song cycles. Due to the criminalization of Homosexuality at the time, they lived publicly closeted lives but were as close to “married” as possible in private

@benjamingeer @chu what I find interesting is that you have specific elder aunt and younger aunt title, not sure about other #Hokkien speaker but in my family we dont do this
Dad's sister are all 阿姑, but use birth order to differentiate them as 大姑,二姑 the same goes with mum's sisters 阿姨
Tho we also use 嬸 for the wife of dad's younger brother, so 阿嬸. One thing is unique in Hokkien perhaps is the wife of dad's elder brother: 阿姆. Another is some Taiwanese will call mum 伊阿, 姨阿, 阿姨阿, 阿伊阿 -

Benjaminus Ficcus
A majestic tree with sprawling roots and hanging moss and tendrils descending to spread roots. The scene is a serene landscape, depicting a Benjaminus Ficcus in a grassy garden under a bright sky at the Immigration Museum in São Paulo. It's the multiple trunks that fascinate me!
