Pastor Holthaus Repudiates Tucker Sponsored Antisemitism Biblically

This is a Video Intro

John R. Houk, Blog Editor

© October 13, 2026

Thanks to a Substack Note from Knights Templar North America actually sent on 10/7, I finally watched a Youtube video entitled, “A Biblical Response to Tucker Carlson & J.D. Hall on Christian Zionism (Part 1)”. The video was posted on Youtube on July 3, 2026 from Youtube channel Rock Harbor Church Bakersfield. Here is the Youtube Channel Description:

“Rock Harbor Church is a community of believers devoted to God’s Word. Founded upon an unwavering commitment to “anchor ourselves to the rock of Christ,” we teach the entire Bible verse by verse from Genesis to Revelation, and seek to apply its truth to our daily lives in order to go deeper in our walk with the Lord. We are a growing body of believers committed to reaching our culture with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe that the Bible is God’s Holy Word, and that it contains God’s perfect plan to redeem humanity from sin, through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.”

The Channel page points to the Church website: https://rockharborchurch.net/

Under the Meet The Staff page, I’ve discerned the video speaker is Brandon Holthaus who is the Senior Pastor. The Pastor Holthaus page has three paragraphs explaining his call to ministry. Below I excerpt the third paragraph which essentially explains his credentials to minister the Word of God:

“Brandon holds a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Columbia University, New York, NY. He also holds both a Master of Arts in Religion degree, (Cum Laude), and a Master of Divinity, (Cum Laude) from Liberty University Baptist Theological Seminary, Lynchburg, VA. Brandon’s areas of emphasis include: prophecy, discernment, apologetics, Jewish culture and background, and Biblical worldview polemics. Brandon also has weekly prophecy updates, sermons, and other Bible studies on YouTube (Search: Rock Harbor Church Bakersfield) Rumble (Search: RHC Bakersfield) and Vimeo (Search for: Rock Harbor Church Prophecy).  All audio presentations can be found on Spotify, iTunes, and Pod Bean (Search for: Rock Harbor Church’s The Anchor), and sermonaudio.org (Search for: Rock Harbor Church or Brandon Holthaus). Brandon is also a professor of Eschatology at Summit Bible College.”

The video bills the post as Part One. After a cursory search on the Youtube Channel, I could not find a Part Two. Part One is so good at repudiating Tucker Carlson & J.D. Hall, if I found a Part Two I would have included it. If you run into a Part Two, YOU should watch it!

In full disclosure, I used to be a huge Tucker fan as he advocated for President Trump’s positions and against the Biden-era COVID Tyranny. Then some kind of nut went –boing– in Tucker’s thinking and he became infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome and Antisemitism. There are plenty of Antisemites, Antiwar extremists and Trump haters out there that the Tucker bandwagon is preserved. Also in full disclosure, I am a bit of an Isolationist these believing the USA should begin disentangling itself foreign interests that has entangled in foreign conflicts that have little to do with American National Interests linked to America’s heritage. The Ukraine-Russia war is an idiotic war the USA should stay out of.

HOWEVER, the resurgence of evil Islam is a problem America should and must face as it affects our Liberty (as opposed to Sharia tyranny) and our Christian heritage (as opposed to Islamic Supremacism). ALSO, I’m a Christian Zionist. My Christian Zionism supports Israel’s existence simply because it is a sign that Jesus Christ will be Returning. Is Israeli politics perfect? No more than Deep State infected USA politics is perfect. Israel has its own share of Leftist extremists and Jewish Religious extremists that frankly are not always friendly to Christians.

BUT STILL God’s Promises to the descendants of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob lead to Jesus on the human side. And the Divine side of Jesus is a Promise to Return as King of Israel to both the descendants of Abraham and to the Gentiles engrafted into those Promises by faith in the Risen Savior. In the mean time will the government of Israel make mistakes? Undoubtedly! But guess what – so will also the divided government of the USA make mistakes. As Christians we MUST trust God and vote the BIBLE knowing in the END Christ the Redeemer wins and the enemies of God Almighty lose.

AND NOW! Pastor Brandon Holthaus on “A Biblical Response to Tucker Carlson & J.D. Hall on Christian Zionism (Part 1)”.

Youtube VIDEO: A Biblical Response to Tucker Carlson & J.D. Hall on Christian Zionism (Part 1)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9lFPBy0wMY

Posted by Rock Harbor Church Bakersfield

Published Jul 3, 2026

Recently, Tucker Carlson interviewed J.D. Hall to discuss Christian Zionism, dispensational theology, Israel, and Bible prophecy. The conversation has generated significant discussion among Christians, raising important questions about God’s covenant promises, the future of Israel, and the authority of Scripture.

In Part 1 of this special Prophecy Update series, Pastor Brandon Holthaus examines the foundational claims made during the interview by comparing them directly with the Word of God.

Topics covered include:

• What is Christian Zionism?

• Did John Nelson Darby invent dispensationalism?

• Does God still have a future for national Israel?

• Are God’s covenant promises unconditional?

• Why Genesis 12 and Genesis 15 are essential to understanding Bible prophecy.

• Why Christians must test every teaching by Scripture rather than personalities.

Rather than approaching these issues politically or emotionally, this study seeks to answer one question:

What does the Bible actually say?

Key Scriptures:

Genesis 12

Genesis 15

Ezekiel 36

Romans 11

Acts 17

2 Thessalonians 2

1 Timothy 4

2 Timothy 4

Counter-protest: No Israel celebration in Amsterdam

De Dam, Amsterdam, donderdag 17 september om 18:30 CEST

Op donderdag 17 september komen Christenen voor Israël met hun zionistische aanhang met touringcars naar onze hoofdstad.

Ze komen daar om de apartheidsstaat bezingen, om eer te betonen aan de Israëlische vlag, om de genocide op de Palestijnen ontkennen.

Ga jij deze provocatie zomaar laten gebeuren? Wij in ieder geval niet. Geen Israëlfeest op de Dam!

. . . . .

On Thursday, Sept 17, "Christians for Israel" and their Zionist supporters will arrive in our capital by coach.

They are coming to sing the praises of the apartheid state, to pay tribute to the Israeli flag, and to deny the genocide against the Palestinians.

Are you going to let this provocation happen unchallenged?

We certainly won't. No Israel celebration on Dam Square!

Larry Romanoff: Open Letter to the U.S. Armed Forces.

Article republished by Jerry Alatalo | August 30, 2026

[Editor’s note: Mr. Romanoff writes:

“If we want to assemble a list of countries against which Iran has initiated military attacks in the past 75 years, that list will be empty. There is no occasion during these past decades where Iran has attacked any nation, not even the U[nited] S[tates]...”

Larry Romanoff’s Open Letter to the U.S. Armed Forces is a devastating denunciation of Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu’s criminal war of aggression against the Iranian people, and will become widely read and disseminated around the world. Peace.]

Open Letter to the U.S. Armed Forces:

An Act of War for Whose Benefit?

By Larry Romanoff

To the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines of the United States Armed Forces:

I address this letter to you directly because Scott Bessent, the Secretary of the Treasury, has just declared a new war on Iran, an economic war that history shows is usually the prelude to a larger military conflict. His brief speech, which you can read in full below, is designed to frame this act of economic aggression as a noble crusade. But a careful reading of the historical record reveals a very different story: one in which the United States has been the aggressor, not Iran; a story in which American lives and treasure have been sacrificed for the strategic ambitions of Israel, with no benefit whatever to the United States.

I acknowledge your service to your country. You have sworn an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. You have not sworn an oath to fight wars of choice for the benefit of Israel’s hegemonic quest over the entire Middle East. You have not sworn an oath to die so that Israel and the Jewish bankers in The City of London can secure Iran’s oil.

Donald Trump, under extreme pressure from Benjamin Netanyahu and AIPAC, launched a war against Iran in 2025 and 2026, and lost. The United States lost not only the war, but tens of billions of dollars of aircraft, equipment, and missiles, and hundreds of billions in damage to its military bases in the Middle East. Faced with the fact that its “Banker’s Private Army” [1] lost an unconscionable war that had no justification, Israel now uses the US in an attempt to destroy Iran economically, demanding that the entire world join and support this economic war. They are fervently hoping that severe economic sanctions against Iran will impoverish the population and cause a revolution that will overthrow the government, and produce a leader who is more weak and pliant, one who presents to Israel on his knees.

Furthermore, Scott Bessent addresses the military personnel of Iran, and effectively suggests they consider a mutiny and a political coup. His words, “To the ordinary soldiers supporting this (Iranian) regime, ask whether your commanders are leading your country to triumph or to ruin.”

That is perhaps the Core Question, and I would pose it also to you: “Are you being asked to sacrifice your lives and your honor for America, or for the genocidal ambitions of Israel?”

The full text of Bessent’s speech, and an official government link to it, are below.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent speaks at a news conference, Monday, Aug. 24, 2026, at the Treasury Department in Washington. Julia Demaree Nikhinson, Associated Press. Source:

Bessent’s Speech. [2]

The United States Treasury has begun Operation Outcast, an unprecedented campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran and its enablers. In the Second World War, D-day marked the historic beginning a campaign with our allies to target and drive the enemy from its positions including those in third countries. Today, in that same spirit, we are launching an economic onslaught against Iran’s financial connections around the globe. Around the globe. Our objective is to sever every economic lifeline that sustains this tyrannical regime until Tehran stands alone. Iran’s fanatics devote themselves to “Death to America”, and seek nuclear weapons to do just that.

They have murdered and maimed more of our citizens and service members than any other terrorist regime on earth. And they have been at war against America, their neighbors in the Gulf, and the rest of the world, for 47 years. President Trump has taken action that his predecessors have long deferred and, under his leadership, America is no longer managing the Iranian threat; we are ending it. Our great armed forces have laid the groundwork for achieving the President’s objective of preventing Iran from ever obtaining nuclear weapons. They have shown America’s resolve to finally end this threat. And the strength of America’s economy under President Trump allows us to wage this sustained financial operation alongside the might of our military. 

Iran now faces a very clear choice, with only two paths before them: complete global isolation and a subsistence economy, or a path back to normalcy with an opportunity to rejoin the global economy. Today we are launching Operation Economic Outcast to foreclose every other option available to the Iranian regime. Treasury has mapped every node, every facilitator, and every network, that Iran has used to smuggle oil and evade sanctions. Beginning today, the actions of Treasury and other agencies will tighten the noose and block every potential source of revenue that funds the IRGC and the evil Iranian regime. We are enforcing a zero-leakage approach. There will be no minimal breathing space for the regime to rebuild its capacity to inflict terror against America and the world. The final refuge of this regime is a mistaken conclusion of nations that still finance the Iranian threat in the hopes of evading it.

If Iran wants to “return to normalcy” it needs to eliminate the US and Israel because they are the only blockage. It is the US illegal sanctions that have prevented Iran from “rejoining the global economy” for 47 years. By what measure do you categorise Iran as “an evil regime”? What “evil” has Iran committed against anyone? It is the Jews in Israel who want Iran destroyed, to eliminate a threat to their hegemony over the entire Middle East. Iran has never done anything to anyone. What “terror” has Iran inflicted on “America and the world”? None. The terrorist groups in the Middle East have all been created and financed by the US, not by Iran. It is the US and Israel who inflict terror on the world, not Iran.

It is no longer acceptable to operate in the grey spaces of this conflict. Countries cannot claim they are blind to enabling this activity. Iran’s enablers purchase [and] transport its petroleum, they facilitate the flow of its finances through exchange houses and free trade zones. They welcome Iran’s flights and maintain registries on its behalf. They turn a blind eye to seaborne fuel transfers and overland transit. They condone illicit use of their banks, all the while concealing the extent of their complicity. 

The President is making phone calls to world leaders with specific requests to cease their interactions with the regime. We are already seeing results. Over the weekend, comments from Iranian leadership clearly acknowledge the effect of this campaign, and nations that facilitate any international interactions with the regime should quickly heed our message. Those who stand with the United States will reap the rewards of our partnership; those who tether themselves to the Iranian regime should expect to share in the isolation of a withering regime.

Teams from Treasury, State, and the US military are now meeting with their global counterparts to tell them that the United States expects action. Every country has a defined timeline to shut down activities we have identified. If they do not take action, we will do so unilaterally through Treasury authorities. For example, every branch of Bank Melli must be shuttered and dark. And let me be clear: any entity that facilitates money laundering on behalf of Iran, will be removed from the US dollar system. The clock just started ticking. 

The new sectoral sanctions, determinations, issued today, target five of Iran’s most vital lifelines that it exploits in other countries: digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping. These measures broaden secondary sanctions risk for anyone foolish enough to continue conducting business with this regime, and will accelerate the speed with which we pursue them. As I speak, Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control is also sanctioning over 60 entities, individuals, and vessels around the world, that enable the Iranian regime to procure illicit nuclear and missile technology, conduct cyber operations, and generate oil revenue. 

This is a sustained campaign to collapse every last option for Iran. Let there be no ambiguity as to the position of the United States: an economic engagement of any kind with this murderous regime, will expose those responsible to the full reach of American power. For decades, this regime has drawn strength from a calculus that regards Iranian retaliation as certain, and American enforcement as negotiable. Under President Trump, that era is over. To the ordinary soldiers supporting this regime, as more and more of your paychecks stop, or are supposedly just delayed, ask whether your commanders are leading your country to triumph or to ruin. And recall that the Berlin wall fell when ordinary soldiers decided not to shoot at their own people.

And to those who enable Tehran, do not discount the cost of testing Washington’s resolve. No nation should expect to enjoy the rewards of our system while helping those who seek to destroy it. It is now a time for world leaders to make a decision between prosperity and isolation, peace and terror, American and Iran. The campaign we begin today will gather force with every day that follows, and it will not end until this regime stands alone. 

Section 1: The Historical Record of US Aggression Against Iran

These are the documented historical acts of US aggression against Iran. This is the “buried history” you have not been told.

1953 Coup: The Founding Act of American Enmity

You have been told that Iran is an “evil regime” and that it has been “at war with America for 47 years.” But what you have not been told is that the United States and Britain overthrew Iran’s democratically elected government in 1953. The CIA and MI6 orchestrated a coup that deposed Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadeq because he had nationalized Iran’s oil industry, which had been controlled by the Jewish bankers in The City of London. [3] The CIA’s own declassified documents acknowledge that “the military coup… was carried out under CIA direction as an act of US foreign policy”. [4] The result of that coup was the installation of Shah Pahlavi as a brutal dictator, who ruled Iran for 26 years with American backing until he was overthrown by the Iranian people in 1979. This was the founding act of American enmity toward Iran. The Iranians have not forgotten it. [5]

USS Vincennes (1988): The Downing of a Civilian Airliner

On 3 July 1988, the USS Vincennes shot down Iran Air Flight 655, killing all 290 civilians on board, including 66 children. The plane was a scheduled civilian flight in Iranian airspace. [6] [7] The US Navy first claimed the aircraft was military, then that is was in international airspace, then admitted it wasn’t, and dismissed the act as a “mistake.” The ship’s captain was later awarded a medal for his actions. The families of the 290 victims have never received an apology or compensation. While the US government termed this a simple mistake, most observers believe it was intentional. [8] The Iranians have not forgotten. [9] Ask yourselves: If Iran had shot down a US civilian airliner, killing 290 Americans, how would the United States have responded?

The Assassination of Qasem Soleimani (2020):

On 3 January 2020, the United States (Israel actually, with American assistance) assassinated Qasem Soleimani, the commander of Iran’s Quds Force, in a drone strike at Baghdad International Airport, while he was on a diplomatic mission. [10] The Pentagon claimed this was a “defensive action” to deter future Iranian attacks. But even US senators pointed out, this was “a reckless escalation of hostilities” that put “U.S. forces and citizens in danger and very possibly sinking us into another disastrous war in the Middle East”. [11] The US intelligence agencies and many US Senators also noted that there was not a shred of credible evidence that Iran was preparing any action against anyone. This was yet again false Jewish (Israeli) forged misinformation. [12] [13]

The so-called “Decapitation” Strike

This betrayal really must be classified as one of the most repugnant, unethical, and immoral foreign policy acts ever committed. While in the midst of “peace” negotiations with Iran, the US and Israel conspired to launch cruise missiles into the building where Iran’s leaders and negotiators were known to be meeting. The explosion killed Iran’s Supreme Leader, the members of his family, all the negotiators and other members of Iran’s military. This was done on the advice of Benjamin Netanyahu, who asserted that a “decapitation” strike would collapse the Iranian government, facilitate a regime change, and that Iran would quickly surrender. None of those benefits occurred. Instead, this horrendous act of treachery served only to harden Iran’s resolve to never capitulate to the United States. More pathologically, this duplicity was effected twice, with the US attacking Iranian locations a second time during “peace” negotiations. After that, Iran refused any further negotiations with the US.

The so-called “Pilot Rescue”; The $5 Billion Uranium Blunder

Donald Trump concocted a bold, ill-advised – and quite stupid – plan. He asked the US military to prepare a “black operation” to infiltrate a team into Iran, commandeer the Isfahan nuclear facility, and confiscate the nation’s stockpile of enriched uranium. The Washington Post confirmed that the military complied with a plan. [1] Trump’s apparent hope was to create another “Venezuela moment” in Iran. If successful, the Donald would then appear to be the hero he had always believed himself to be. Sadly, things didn’t go as planned. [14] If you don’t know the full story, I strongly suggest you read this article.

The Memorandum of Understanding

President Donald Trump, representing the United States, signed the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran, conceding to all the points Iran demanded. The first of these points was that Iran, and Iran alone, would be responsible for traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. The US immediately violated this first clause by imposing a so-called “blockade” on the Strait. A second condition of the MOU was that Israel cease its military activities in Lebanon, and fully withdraw from the country. Israel violated the MOU by immediately launching yet another murderous attack on a Lebanese town. And so on. Within a week, the US had reneged on the MOU it had just signed, by violating each and every one of the 14 clauses. From this, Iran reasonably concluded that negotiation with the US was pointless, and that the Americans were “agreement-incapable”. In other words, US officials and politicians could not be trusted, so discussion and agreement were of no use.

The Minab School Massacre: A “Double-Tap” Strike

On 28 February 2026, a US strike hit a primary school in Minab, Iran, killing at least 165 people, most of them children. The strike was a “double-tap”: a first strike, followed by a second strike approximately 40 minutes later, that deliberately targeted first responders and survivors trying to rescue the wounded. Donald Trump claimed the strike was from an Iranian missile that had gone astray, but US investigators later acknowledged that the United States was responsible for the attack. [15] The New York Times and other American media confirmed that the weapon used was a US Tomahawk cruise missile. The subsequent “official narrative” was that this was a “mistake” caused by either (a) ignoring factual intelligence, or (b) the use of “outdated maps”. It was further claimed that the school was “inside” a military compound and was therefore merely “collateral damage”, but in fact the school was only near a military compound, within a completely separate perimeter, and in no way part of a military base. This could not possibly have been an accident as claimed. No competent military uses ten-year-old maps. Ask yourselves: Can the nation that commits such an act – killing children in a school – credibly describe itself as a force for good? Can the same nation that kills children in a school call Iran an “evil regime” with a straight face? Tucker Carlson denounced the US military’s attack on Iranian elementary schools, calling them utterly inhumane, and bluntly stating, “A country like this is simply not worth fighting for.” [16]

For your information, this story was identical to that of the US bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade during the war in Yugoslavia: the unfortunate use of “outdated maps”. But the truth was that the US believed the Chinese were using the Embassy’s transmission facilities to pass information to Serbia, so they bombed it, then dismissed the bombing as a “mistake”.

The 47-Year War

Bessent and Trump claim that Iran has been at war with the US for the past 47 years, but that is backwards. It is the US and Israel that have been at war with Iran, levying financial sanctions and other coercive measures for 47 years. That rift 47 years ago had two causes: (1) The Iranians organised a revolution and kicked out the Shah, taking back their country, and (2) the Jewish bankers in The City of London lost control of Iran’s oil. Since then, since 1979, your government has subjected the people of Iran to the most brutal, even savage, economic “sanctions”, as punishment for obtaining their “freedom”. I must note here that these so-called “sanctions” – which are entirely an “American product” – are illegal, against all international law, against all morality, and against all good sense. They are criminal, extortionate, and inhumane.

In case you don’t know, this is precisely the same treatment that is applied to Cuba – for Castro’s expelling the Americans and Jews in 1959. When the US and the Jews installed Battista as dictator, Cuba quickly became known as “The Whorehouse of the Caribbean”. When the Cuban people finally revolted and expelled all the foreigners, the US imposed the most brutal economic sanctions on Cuba and has maintained them for nearly 70 years.

After reviewing this record, who is the ‘evil regime’? Who has been the aggressor for 47 years?” Scott Bessent and Donald Trump say the Iranians hate the US. Well, they have good reason, don’t they?

Section 2: In search of “Murderous Regimes”

List of countries Iran has attacked/bombed:

If we want to assemble a list of countries against which Iran has initiated military attacks in the past 75 years, that list will be empty. There is no occasion during these past decades where Iran has attacked any nation, not even the US. We can ignore the Iraq war, since Iran was merely defending itself against an onslaught initiated by the US and Israel, but this was not a war that Iran started. We can similarly ignore the 2025-2026 war with the US, since this also was not initiated by Iran.

The “official narrative” in the (Jewish-controlled) media tell us that Iran has sponsored every manner of “terrorist groups” who have attacked nearly everyone, but this is fabricated propaganda. The truth is that Iran has never supported any terrorist group, and in fact the groups like ISIS have all been created, led and financed by the US, not by Iran. As one example, the US and Israel have financed and led the Kurds in attempts to spark revolutions in both Iraq and Iran, then blamed Iran for “cracking down” on the poor Kurds. This is all merely misleading war propaganda and has no basis in truth.

It is true that Iran has supported Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, and the Houthis in Yemen, but these groups are defending their homeland against military attacks from Israel and the US. They are not initiating wars, and they are not in any sense “terrorist”. They are fighting existential threats against their homelands, and that is not the same thing. Supporting a nation under attack by an evil government is not “terrorism”.

The Interpretation of “Initiation”: While Iran has launched direct military strikes on multiple nations in response to the US-led offensive, these are framed within the context of a defensive reaction to an attack on its own soil. From this perspective, Iran has not initiated a new war but is responding to an existing one. The historical record consistently describes Iran’s military engagement as defensive, never as initiative. There are no documented instances of Iran initiating a war against another country in the last 75 years. Iran’s military actions have always been in response to a large-scale attack by the U.S. and Israel. This distinction is a crucial point of analysis.

Hezbollah in Lebanon is a primary example of Iran’s “defensive” posture. The Israeli military campaigns against Lebanon and Gaza have been met with calls to expand support for the “resistance” on those fronts, described as a necessary response to Israeli actions. The Houthis in Yemen fit a similar pattern. The Iranian-led alliance has activated the Houthis as a “trump card” to relieve military pressure on Iran and other members of the Axis, and to warn the US and its Gulf allies against escalating the conflict. This move is described in the sources as a response to the US-Israeli military campaign, rather than an unprovoked aggression.

This assessment is strongly supported by the evidence. The historical record does not show Iran initiating unprovoked military actions. Instead, its military posture – including its support for non-state allies like Hezbollah and the Houthis – is consistently documented as a defensive response to large-scale US and Israeli military operations and the perception of an existential threat.

Section 3: The Sacrifice of America’s Own; A Military in Ruins

There has been much news in the media recently about the poor condition of US naval ships. [23] [24] There is much documented evidence that the sailors and marines have no food, no toilets, no showers, have been at sea for over 260 days with no break. There have been many media reports of sailors jumping off the ships and committing suicide due to the unbearable conditions. There were also reports of a large fight aboard one of the ships where 7 sailors were killed. This was apparently due to the intense pressure and lack of facilities. This is a powerful indication that the US doesn’t really care about its military personnel, sacrificing them this way as well, all in the service of Israel, when there was no threat to the US. My guess is that if the navy is this bad, the air force, the army and marines are likely similar. Also, there is the issue that Pete Hegseth, the “Secretary of War” is not competent.

The documented conditions aboard US naval vessels, particularly the USS Abraham Lincoln, provide powerful corroborating evidence for the central thesis that the US military is being systematically sacrificed in a war that serves only Jewish interests.

US Military Suicides. Source:

The USS Gerald R. Ford

Consider the case of the USS Gerald R. Ford, an item in this context that is both noteworthy and curious. The ship suffered a fire that burned for more than 30 hours before it could be extinguished. The ship’s fire suppression system failed, and the fire was so widespread it destroyed the berths of 600 sailors. [25] The official narrative was that some clothing caught fire in the laundry of the ship, but that cannot possibly be true. There is nothing in any laundry room that could cause a fire; electrical circuits are on breakers, and sailor’s undershorts are not notably flammable. US media now say the damage was so severe that the ship will need a year of repairs.

It is almost certain that the ship was hit by an Iranian missile; it would require something of that severity to cause a fire that cannot be extinguished for 30 hours. And here is the critical detail: President Trump himself described the ship coming under a coordinated ’17-direction’ assault by Iranian missiles and drones, saying the crew ‘had to run to save our lives’. Which story do you believe? That a pile of laundry burned for 30 hours and disabled the most advanced aircraft carrier in the world? Or that the ship was struck in combat, and the Pentagon is lying to you about the truth of this war?

Iran has claimed to have damaged U.S. carriers while the US military denies this. But if the Pentagon is willing to lie about the Ford fire, what else are they lying about? How many casualties have been hidden? How many ships have been damaged? How many soldiers have died in a war they were told was ‘winnable’ when their own leaders knew otherwise?” The official US Navy account said the fire was “not combat-related,” and that the carrier remained “fully operational”. However, significant evidence contradicts this:

1. The fire was catastrophic, not minor; It burned for over 30 hours before it was extinguished, and was so extensive that ceilings were burned through, with melted wiring hanging down; the internal structure may have been compromised due to prolonged heat exposure to the steel hull. CNN and other US media have since reported that the damage was far more severe than the Pentagon initially admitted, with some officials stating the ship may require at least a year of repairs. [26] [27] [28]

2. The “Laundry Fire” explanation is not only implausible, but impossible. A modern warship’s electrical systems are protected by breakers, and sailors’ undershorts are not a source of self-sustaining 30-hour combustion. Countless military experts have noted that the failure of fire suppression systems and the length of the burn point to serious design or damage-control failures, cannot be caused by a simple laundry accident. The vessel had also suffered previous maintenance issues, including blocked toilets affecting 650 crew members.

3. Public Statements from President Trump Suggest a Different Story

In a public address, President Trump described the USS Gerald R. Ford coming under a coordinated “17-direction” assault by Iranian missiles and drones, and that the crew “had to run to save our lives”. [29] This account is dramatically at odds with the Navy’s laundry-room explanation and essentially admits that the fire was a consequence of combat damage, not an accident. The Iranian military explicitly stated that they had attacked the USS Abraham Lincoln, rendering it non-operational, and planned to attack the Gerald Ford as well. [30] [31] The US military has denied this, but given the pattern of official downplaying of damage, independent verification is difficult. [32]

This information is powerful evidence of the systematic cover-up of the true cost of the war, of the true hardships and casualties suffered by innocent and uninformed sailors, soldiers, and airmen. The pattern is consistent: The Pentagon says “minor incident, no damage, crew safe”, then we learn the fire burned for 30 hours, 600 sailors lost their berths, and the ship is out of action for a year. Then the President himself suggests it was a major attack. This supports s broader argument that your government is not honest with you about the risks you face, and is withholding information that might cause your soldiers and sailors to question whether this war is worth fighting.

The USS Abraham Lincoln

The USS Abraham Lincoln, an aircraft carrier carrying more than 5,000 sailors and Marines, departed San Diego in November 2025. It was supposed to return in May 2026. Instead, it has been deployed for more than 260 days, with a record-setting 208 consecutive days at sea without a port call. It is currently attempting to enforce (with little success) an illegal naval blockade against Iran. [33] [34]

What has life been like on this ship? Let me tell you what the families of the sailors – and the sailors themselves – have reported, in their own words. Food shortages: Sailors have been placed on food rations. Some have received as little as two biscuits and half a bowl of rice for a meal. Supplies have repeatedly run low. Contaminated water: The ship’s water system failed early in the deployment. When it was restored, access to showers remained restricted. Broken sanitation: Toilets have backed up and overflowed, leaving human waste on the floors of restrooms used by hundreds of sailors. Mold and mildew have infested the showers. The BBC carried a long report of conditions aboard the Abraham Lincoln. [35]

No mail: Care packages from families have been lost in transit for months. Mail has been so disrupted that sailors have gone without contact from home for extended periods. Suicide attempts: It is documented that multiple sailors have jumped overboard or have attempted to jump overboard. Families have reported receiving messages from their loved ones saying they “hope they don’t wake up tomorrow”. A deadly brawl: In August 2026, a CENTCOM official boarded the ship to address mounting complaints, and was met with boos and water bottles thrown at him. A fight broke out among the crew, involving knives and other bladed weapons. Seven sailors were killed. [36]

These are not isolated incidents. The USS Gerald R. Ford suffered similar problems: toilets failing, sewage overflowing, a fire in the laundry room that injured more than 200 sailors. The USS George H.W. Bush has also reported shortages of food, water, and soap after 136 days at sea.

The parents of these sailors have been forced to beg their elected representatives for answers. Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal wrote to Secretary Hegseth, expressing concern that the Navy “cannot sustain the operational tempo now being demanded of its carrier force”. One father even wrote to his senator asking if he could do a “parent swap” to take his son’s place aboard the Lincoln, so that his son could come home. This is how America treats its warriors.

And who is responsible? The man in charge of this debacle is Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. He is a Christian Zionist who “loves Jesus” so much that he told a collection of several hundred Generals that “Your purpose is to kill people for a living”. Congressional leaders have called him a “failure” to his face. Senator Gary Peters told him: “You, sir, are the failure. [37] Not the men and women who are on that front line… You don’t have a strategy. You don’t have a long-term plan to actually win this war”. Hegseth responded not by fixing the problems, but by accusing his critics of “political cowardice”. And the official narrative from the US military chooses to deny all these realities. [38]

When reports of the Lincoln’s conditions surfaced, Hegseth called them “completely misrepresented”. He told reporters that the government ensures “every ship, every crew, every captain has everything we can provide them”. Yet the families’ accounts, the sailors’ testimonies, and the seven dead sailors from the brawl tell a different story.

If this is how the U.S. government treats its military personnel – denying them food, water, sanitation, mail, and mental health care while keeping them at sea for over 260 days – what does that say about how much it values your lives? What does it say about the Israeli cause for which you are being asked to fight? You have been told that you are fighting for America. But consider how “America” treats you while you fight.

US Military Servicemen are Disposable

I don’t want you to think my words are inflammatory exaggerations. You won’t want to hear this, but the US Government – and the Department of Defense – have always viewed their military servicemen with contempt and treated them as disposable. Your former Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, said, “Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy”. [39] Yes, he really said that, and was not criticised for it.

Covert experiments by the US government on its own military personnel are not new. For at least the past 70 years, the US military has used its servicemen as laboratory animals in conducting illegal and inhumane experiments. From at least the 1940s until today, ex-military patients in US Veterans Administration hospitals were used as test subjects under many circumstances, without their knowledge or consent. Millions of US servicemen have been deliberately exposed to biological pathogens, nuclear radiation of various forms, medical substances and other procedures, all without their knowledge or consent. The admission of these appears only after many decades of secrecy and some are still denied. With the extensive destruction of records, much of the truth will never be known.

This unconscionable treatment includes deliberate exposure to radiation: you may not be aware of this but, during atomic bomb tests, your leaders instructed military aircraft to fly through the mushroom clouds simply so they could obtain first-hand information on the rapidity of radiation poisoning. For 20 years or more, the US military ordered about 250,000 servicemen into very near ground zero to observe nuclear explosions, in addition to another 200,000 who were part of the US occupation force in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There was no scientific or military justification for the forced exposure of these men, especially in such large numbers. The Defense Department was simply sacrificing soldiers in attempts to learn the incidence of illness and death from exposure to nuclear explosions.

US servicemen have been knowingly exposed to lethal pathogens, used in many kinds of human experimentation, and much more. Operation Desert Storm and the Iraq war left countless soldiers with debilitating ailments, the existence of which the US military either ignores or denies the existence. You won’t know this, but your military subjected many war veterans to undergo forced frontal lobotomies in experimental attempts to control what is today considered the psychological trauma of war, many of these victims being very young men who were having trouble dealing with the horrors they experienced. The men, of course, became vegetables.

This is such a serious matter that I researched and wrote an article exposing some of the unconscionable treatment US servicemen have received at the hands of their own government. The article is titled, “The US Declares War on its own Military”. [40] It is heavily documented with references, and I strongly urge you to read it. It may shock you to your core.

Section 4: The real agenda: This is Israel’s war, not America’s

The evidence is overwhelming that this war is being fought not for America, but for Israel and the Jews of AIPAC. This is not “anti-Semitism”: it is documented fact. This is not a war for America. This is a war for Israel. And you are being sacrificed: not only in combat, but in peacetime conditions that are themselves a form of slow torture. Your leaders have failed you. They are spending your lives to serve Israel’s ambitions. The question is: will you continue to let them?”

The Jewish demand for the annihilation of Iran is not a secret. Worldwide media have consistently reported that the push for the war against Iran comes from Israel and the Jews in AIPAC. The bald truth is that Israel wants total military and political control of the entire Middle East – including all of the oil – and is willing to fight to the last American to achieve this.

The head of the US National Counterterrorism Centre, Joseph Kent, resigned in March 2026 over the Iran war. In his resignation letter to President Trump, he wrote: “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 lobby”. [41] Kent, a former Green Beret who served multiple combat tours, said that “high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. He called this “a lie” and said it was “the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war”. [42]

The academic Stephen Walt, writing in Foreign Policy, has documented how the Israeli lobby pushed Washington into a direct confrontation with Iran. He names specific figures: Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, Mike Huckabee, and notes that “(Jewish) political money played a pivotal role”, citing Miriam Adelson as the largest donor in the last election. Walt quotes Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirming that the US administration was “fully aware of Israeli plans for the attack, and even chose to initiate the attack despite anticipating Iranian reactions against American forces”. In other words, America attacked Iran knowing that US forces would be retaliated against – and that Americans would die – because Israel demanded it. The US wars against Iraq, Libya, Syria, and now Iran have been fought for the benefit of Israel. None have benefited the United States. None have made America safer. All have cost thousands of American lives and trillions of dollars.

Iran is not a threat, and is not even of interest to the US, but Israel views Iran as an existential threat to its regional hegemony, and you are being used as a tool to fight Israel’s war for it, and possibly to die for the cause. It is only Israel and the Jews who want aggressions against Iran, yet, under pressure, the US has consistently aligned with Israel’s pathological aggression.

The war with Iran is not a US war, but one that is being waged because Israel wants Iran destroyed. I would note in bold letters that Israel will fight to the last American to achieve this. I would remind you that the US wars against Iraq, Libya and Syria were also for the benefit of Israel and were of no benefit to the United States.

A question for you to ponder: “Why are you fighting a country that has never attacked you, has never done anything to you? Why are you supporting a genocidal foreign “power” that dictates your foreign policy?

Section 5: The illegitimacy of U.S. sanctions

Bessent’s claims refuted

Bessent’s speech is a textbook example of what I term the “official narrative”, which is a propaganda document designed to frame an act of economic warfare, extortion and bullying, as a moral crusade. Several elements stand out under critical scrutiny:

• Donald Trump has said repeatedly that Iran has already been “obliterated”. Its ships have all been sunk, its aircraft all destroyed, all missiles and missile launchers gone, all the country’s leaders killed, all nuclear facilities “bombed to kingdom come”, inflation at “300%”, the military not being paid for lack of funds, popular revolution in the streets, and much more. The first question is WHY, if Iran is already destroyed and “obliterated”, are these new sanctions necessary?
• Framing as “D-Day”: Bessent invokes the Normandy landings to equate illegal and extortionate economic sanctions with a noble, allied campaign against a universally recognised evil. This is a rhetorical manipulation that obscures the unilateral, coercive nature of the military action.
• The “Evil Regime” Label: Bessent repeatedly calls Iran “evil” and “murderous”, but provides no concrete evidence of Iranian aggression against the US. In reality, there is nothing in Iran’s history that would justify such labels. This is emotional branding, not factual argumentation.
• False Accusations: Bessent claims Iran has “murdered and maimed” more US citizens than any other regime, but the historical record has no factual support for this assertion. It is the US, through the actions I am listing below, that has inflicted devastating harm on Iran. And, while I regret being so blunt, it is the US and Israel who have “murdered and maimed” more citizens of more nations than all the other countries of the world, combined. Lists are presented below, for your information.
• Projection: Bessent accuses Iran of being “at war with America for 47 years”, when it has been the US that has sustained a comprehensive economic warfare campaign against Iran for that duration, and totally in absence of any Iranian “terror” threat.
• The “Choice” Narrative: Bessent presents Iran with a false dichotomy: “complete global isolation” or “a path to normalcy”. He omits that the US itself is the agent enforcing the isolation, and that “normalcy” is a euphemism for capitulation to US (and Israeli) demands. It is the United States that has isolated Iran by imposing and maintaining illegal sanctions against Iran for 47 years. It is the United States that has prevented Iran from rejoining the global economy.
• The Plea to the Iranian Military: Bessent’s direct appeal to Iranian soldiers, asking them to question their commanders, is a deliberate attempt to foment mutiny. It is an act of psychological warfare aimed at destabilising a sovereign state.
• Bessent says Iran’s oil trade is “smuggling” and its payments are “money laundering”, through the “illicit use of banks”. Iran sells oil, receives payment, and deposits the money in a bank. What is “illicit” about that? Iran’s oil is Iran’s property. Its sale to willing buyers is not smuggling; it is commerce. The United States has no right to dictate to sovereign nations the countries with whom they may trade. Who is the US to dictate to the entire world the friends they can have? Who is the US to demand that “You must hate whomever I hate, or I will destroy you”?
• The United States is not the world’s policeman. It is one nation among many. By what authority does your government demand that every country on earth sever ties with Iran? By what authority do Donald Trump and Scott Bessent demand that no airline fly to or from Iran? This is not diplomacy. This is coercion, extortion, economic warfare, and plain bullying.
• Bessent refers to Iran as an “evil and murderous” regime”, when Iran is no such thing. Bessent (and Donald Trump) claim Iran has “murdered and maimed” “thousands of Americans”, military and civilian, but there isn’t shred of evidence to support this assertion. On the other hand, the US has killed many thousands of Iranians. Define “Evil Regime”: Is it a country that defends itself, or one that invades, bombs, and sanctions others into submission while supporting a foreign power’s expansionist agenda?
• Bessent refers repeatedly to “The Iranian threat”. But what is this “threat”? Iran has never threatened anyone. The only recent war involving Iran was the war with Iraq, which was entirely instigated by the US and Israel.

Section 6: A Call to Reflection and Action

To the ordinary American soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines: You are the American military. You are not Israel’s army. Your oath is to the American Constitution, not to the Jewish AIPAC lobby. Are your lives being sacrificed for American security or for Israeli ambition? Are your lives so worthless as to be spent on a war that serves no American interest? If you are ordered to fight this war, know that it is a war for Israel, not for America. Ask yourselves whether your commanders are leading your country to triumph or to ruin. Will you refuse to fight a war of aggression on behalf of a foreign power? Will you consider that the honorable path is not to obey an unlawful order, but to refuse to die for Israel? Bessent invoked the image of The Berlin Wall: I now ask you: Will you kill thousands of innocent civilians in Iran, as you did in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria? Will you consider that the honorable path is not to obey an unlawful order, but to refuse to die for Israel? Your real choice is to (a) uphold your oath, or (b) die for the Jews.

Consider the choice before you: fight for a foreign power, or uphold your oath. Think carefully. And act accordingly.

Replant the American Dream

Your USA Today is The World’s Most Hated Nation. Why? [43] This article provides the answer.

A Favor to Ask

And finally, I want to ask a favor of you, regarding the roughly 500,000 German Prisoners of War that were shipped to the US near the end and after the end of World War II. I have written an article that covers this matter in considerable detail. [44] Briefly, these Germans were sent to the US on various fabricated pretenses, and the “official narrative” states they were all repatriated to Germany shortly after the war ended.

The problem with the official story is that there is not the tiniest shred of evidence that those soldiers ever left the US, and exhaustive searches of all US military documents and those of the International Red Cross, contain no evidence of those men ever arriving in Germany or anywhere in Europe. There were apparently a few hundreds of men who were actually returned to Germany, and who then functioned as a kind of propaganda machine, claiming their imprisonment in the US was “the best time of our lives”.

But the reality is that there is no record of those Germans either leaving the US or arriving anywhere else, and for a contingent that large it would be impossible to not leave media and other trails. I have researched this topic off and on for nearly 20 years and so far have found no evidence to support the official story, nor any evidence of the true fate of these men. I believe this is a very dark chapter in the history of the US, and I want to find the answers to the questions.

Since you are a member of the US military, you will have access to documents and information not widely available to others. You may know something, or know someone who knows something (likely someone quite elderly). If you have any information on this topic, I ask you with all earnestness to submit it to me.

Coward-In-Chief

By Chuck Baldwin
Chuck Baldwin Live

August 24, 2026

A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others.

General Douglas MacArthur 

America has had some pathetic leaders throughout its history, but never one the likes of Donald J. Trump. Every principle or virtue of leadership one could point to as being obligatory to the character of a true leader is missing from this man. In fact, Trump’s character is the polar opposite of every principle or virtue of true leadership.

Trump leads by intimidation, threats, humiliation, bullying, arrogance, complete and utter callousness to the needs of others and pure, unadulterated violence and bloodshed. Those are not the marks of a leader; those are the marks of a gangster.

Those are also the marks of a coward. And that’s exactly what Trump is: the Coward-in-Chief. This character defect was put on display for the whole world to see just recently in a most astonishing way—even for Trump.

I begin with an excerpt of an interview between Scottish podcaster George Galloway and former USMC Intelligence Officer Scott Ritter.

George Galloway: Scott, let’s start, if we may, by the absolutely ignominious exit of the President of the United States in a catering cart at the airport in Turkey, having with full panoply climbed on board Air Force One. He skulked out the other side of the plane, was lowered by a crane and packed into what must have been a large catering cart, not telling anyone, even little Marco Rubio, that he’d gone. Marco thought he was snoozing up front or whatever else he does on these overnight flights. But in fact, he was no longer on the plane. And if there had been an Iranian assassination attempt, the entire Washington press corps, which might not have been so widely mourned, and Marco Rubio would have been done and dusted. But as a metaphor for the eclipse of his presidency, it serves quite well, I think.

Scott Ritter: Look, you have to take the security of the President seriously. But to be honest, to allow the President to fly to Turkey in a threat environment that could produce this outcome is absurd in the extreme. It’s a failure across the board. If in fact there was a threat to the President of the United States that was worthy of this kind of tomfoolery, then why did the President fly to Ankara to begin with?

The reason why I bring this up is that there was no threat against the President of the United States, no real threat. But the President has surrounded himself with insane people, literally crazies, who will breathe life into the most ridiculous social media-based rumor, whether it comes from Sarah Adams or Laura Loomer or some other equally insane Islamophobic people who have projected onto Iran the very things that we do.

Understand there’s a lot of American projectionism taking place here because we do assassinate leaders. We did kill the Supreme Leader. You know who doesn’t assassinate leaders? Iran. So, there was no real threat to this President.

Moreover, the shame of being willing to sacrifice—because the implication here is that Air Force One was at risk—[Secretary of State] Marco Rubio and the [White House] press corps. Why didn’t you take their lives into consideration? Because clearly you didn’t announce that the President was leaving Air Force One. So, you’re keeping Air Force One out there as a live decoy. This is shameful. This requires congressional intervention. But there won’t be. Why? Because this was just a game. This was a sham. This was a joke. This is an act of theater. And it shows the lack of professionalism throughout the Trump administration.

I mean, this is a man who has shown that he has no pride in who he is or in what the office that he holds is. No American president should ever allow himself to be evacuated in that fashion.

Right here, let’s be specific about who was left on Air Force One as a decoy for this perceived assassination attempt: The White House press corps (at least 13 Americans), Secretary of State Marco Rubio, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent and White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, and some say that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was on the plane also, but most major news sources say she wasn’t. But what we do know for a fact is that Leavitt resigned shortly after the inexcusable incident. She said the reason she left was to “spend time with her family.” But that’s what they all say. But how do Rubio, Miller, Bessent and Cheung feel knowing that Trump used them as a decoy to be blown out of the sky by an Iranian missile?

When Donald Trump snuck off that plane like the spineless, traitorous rat that he truly is, in his mind, he was deliberately sending all of those people left on Air Force One to their deaths. Talk about callousness! Talk about coldness! Talk about heartlessness! Donald Trump wins first prize.

If Trump cares no more about the lives of his own cabinet and staff than to volitionally, calculatingly and purposefully put their very lives in jeopardy to save his own slimy skin, you can know unhesitatingly and without question that Trump cares absolutely NOTHING about the American people.

Neither does Donald Trump give a tinker’s dam about our U.S. service men and women. This is easily proven by the way Trump has handled the abysmal—even torturous—conditions existing on board the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln.

For this story, I quote an excerpt of an interview between Judge Andrew Napolitano and journalist Max Blumenthal:

Judge Andrew Napolitano: Now, you talk about senior military officials being fired. Shouldn’t the captain of the USS Abraham Lincoln be fired for the deplorable conditions that he’s putting the young soldiers and Marines through?

Max Blumenthal: I think Hung Cao, the Navy secretary, should be fired. This is a clownish MAGA loyalist who lost various campaigns in Virginia, a fanatical Vietnamese expat anti-communist who has no credentials, who just held a meeting on August 11th with families of sailors who were telling him that their family members want to kill themselves at sea. And they’re calling and saying they don’t want to live another day. They’ve been out there for months and months and months. They’re not getting any fresh food. They’re eating like pieces of stale bread with Velveeta. They’re not able to contact their family members. They’re certainly not able to see them.

And now we learn from Stars and Stripes and Military Times that sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln are jumping overboard or attempting to jump overboard. There have been several attempts at jumping overboard to commit suicide.

And what has he done? What reforms have been put in place? We’re not seeing any. This also goes to the top, to Pete Hegseth, and it’s really just about the war.

The USS Abraham Lincoln is attempting to impose a naval siege on Iran. It can’t operate near Iran because of Iran’s standoff weapons. It’s unclear what effect it’s even having. There have been fires on previous ships, on previous aircraft carriers [i.e. the USS Gerald R. Ford] that have been set by sailors to try to end their mission. And they’ve reached the limit that the human psyche can withstand.

Now, one thing that I think would improve morale and actually enable these sailors to withstand such a grueling mission would be a just war that was actually defending the country that they come from. And I think that’s the subtext here, is these sailors know they’re fighting a failed war for a psychotic little apartheid state that controls the president. They know, but they can’t say that publicly.

And so that’s the subtext and the issue here, is these sailors know they’re fighting for absolutely nothing in a glorified mercenary army, and their needs and their psychological and basic physical needs are not being cared for. They’re just cannon fodder for Israel.

Napolitano: Here’s a producer of a documentary on the USS Abraham Lincoln summarizing what he has found and what he has been told. Chris, number eight.

Andrew Brown: You guys, there is a mental health crisis happening aboard the USS Lincoln in the Middle East that no one is talking about. And mainly because the Navy is pretty much quashing it.

You will read online about food shortages, supply shortages, poor morale among crew members. That’s because they’ve been at sea continuously for 250 days. They’ve been deployed a total of 271 days, 250 without a port of call. That’s unheard of. Normally they would go to port every 3 to 6 weeks. They have not been to port in 38 weeks. Keep in mind there are 52 weeks in a year.

And yes, the showers are moldy. They’re eating basically like a gruel kind of slop at this point. There’s no deodorant. There is no toothpaste.

My nephew has a friend on board there. And I was basically hearing updates last week when I was in the States in real time.

They’re not talking about the mental health crisis. Six people have tried to jump off that ship. The most recent was last Monday.

When you have not touched land in 38 weeks, in over 200 days, things start to happen to you mentally. Combine that with exhaustion and deadly mistakes start to happen.

So, this is how the Department of War, this is how Donald Trump treats our service men and women whose lives are already being put in harm’s way for a bulls*** war of aggression that was supposed to be over in a matter of weeks.

We are further putting their lives at risk out of sheer ineptitude and neglect. It defies logic. It defies reason. And it defies basic humanity.

Napolitano: Hegseth called this fake news.

Blumenthal: Yeah, that’s all he can say.

Napolitano: I’m going to jump to another topic, but the Abraham Lincoln has 5,000 sailors. You have seven suicide attempts, more than one per thousand. I never heard of that even in the worst times in the US military. And your point is right on: They’re not fighting for a war they believe in. They’re fighting Netanyahu’s war, and they know it.

When publicly confronted about the abysmal conditions on board the USS Abraham Lincoln, Donald Trump said that the ship has not been at sea too long, but not nearly long enough. And then he callously brushed off the veracity of any reported facts about the harsh realities on board the carrier.

I realize that the MAGA Republicans (what’s left of them) and evangelicals will never admit it, but we have a full-fledged, card-carrying, certified psychopath in the Oval Office. His malignant narcissism does not allow him the inconvenience of having a conscience or feelings of empathy of any kind toward anybody. He is as cold-blooded as a rattle snake and a lot more dangerous.

Recalling the last obligatory attribute of true leadership in the above quote from Douglas MacArthur: the compassion to listen to the needs of others. 

In the most glaring, obvious ways possible, Trump has shown the world that he is anything but a leader. He is a raving lunatic and madman who has the potential and propensity to destroy anything or anyone in his path. And that includes the whole world.

And who are Trump’s most enthusiastic and steadfast supporters? Evangelical Christians. They even believe that Erika Kirk is a saint.

As Ohio Congressman James Traficant used to say, “Beam me up, Mr. Speaker.”

As a reminder, there are plenty of groups and nations which support the actions of #Israel for their own shitty reasons.

Take these so-called Dispensionalists, a subgroup of "Christian Zionists" - they support Israel not because they actually care about Jews, but because they regard Israel rebuilding the Third Temple as an important milestone along their critical path to the End Times. They are, essentially Christian Cthulhu Cultists. They don't care about peace, they certainly don't care about Jews and Muslims killing each other. All they want is the end of the world, as quickly as possible. And they are massively influential in American conservative politics, and they absolutely want this war against #Iran .

So there's absolutely _no_ need to invoke any "Israel controls the Western World from behind the scenes!" narratives, which are very often very blatant #antisemitism (and please don't pretend otherwise). Hold Israel accountable for their own actions which they have agency over, by all means - but also hold others accountable for _their_ choices and actions.

Intro to ‘Antisemitism And Vitriol For Israel: One Of The Most Distinguishing Signs Of Our Time’

Intro by John R. Houk, Blog Editor

Intro © July 8, 2026

Just as I see a rise in readership, I see a post on Antisemitism that I have no doubt will again cull Jew-Hater readers who embrace Conservatism yet hate Israel and Jews. (H/T: Prophecy Update). The post I read is from the Christian website Harbinger’s Daily. There author Jonathan Brentner briefly examines the Biblical origins of Zionism and then builds a case against the (so-called) Christian Anti-Zionist case that despise the existence of modern Israel on Biblical terms.

If you are the typical Antisemite, you might as well skip this read. My experience is the typical Jew-hater is so blinded by hate-ideology, they have on preconditioned blinders in regard to the full Biblical context on Jews.

If you are a Biblical-minded Christian, you will probably appreciate Brentner’s reasoning. Even so, do your own Bible reading. A wise Bible teacher once advised, “Be as smart as a cow and eat the good hay and spit out the indigestible sticks.”

Antisemtism [sic] And Vitriol For Israel: One Of The Most Distinguishing Signs Of Our Time

By Jonathan Brentner

July 7, 2026

Harbinger’s Daily

It’s everywhere. We hear it on popular news channels. Its anthem rings out in the halls of the US Congress. Most churches, many knowingly and others unwittingly, promote it.

The steadily intensifying antisemitism of our day points to the reality of the rapidly approaching Tribulation period. It’s one of the more distinguishing signs of our time because it aligns with so many prophecies that predict hatred for Israel and the Jews during the last days. In Zechariah 8:13, the Lord foretold what we see today along with His promise to dramatically reverse the fortunes of the Jewish people: “And as you have been a byword of cursing among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you, and you shall be a blessing. Fear not, but let your hands be strong.”

What we see today fulfills the first part of these words from the Lord. Those inside and outside the church who attack Israel, however, overlook the Lord’s promise that after the hatred and cursing, He will save Israel and cause it to be a blessing to the nations.

It will be one of the greatest plot twists of all time, rivaling what the account recorded in Esther with its radical change of direction, with its most unexpected outcome.

God’s promise in Zechariah 8:13 underscores the misunderstanding—and even unbelief—of those who attack us as “Zionists” because we believe the Lord will someday fulfill His promise to restore a kingdom to Israel. The accusations of today’s anti-Zionists continue the world’s cursing of the Jewish people while at the same time, they deny the Lord’s promise that He will not only save the Jewish people, but will also make them a “blessing” to the nations. Read Zechariah 8:20-23 for the details of how the Jewish people will bless the nations during the Millennium.

What is Zionism?

Let’s dig deeper into the term bantered about by those who call us “Zionists” as though it were a derogatory word.

In God’s Word, Zion often refers to the highest summit in Jerusalem commonly known as “Mount Zion.” At other times, the term denotes the entire City of David.

The Psalms designate Zion as the location of Jesus’ future reign over all the nations. In Psalm 2:6, God declares, “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.” Later in the Psalms, we again read of the Lord’s exalted place on Mount Zion during His future reign over the nations: “Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised in the city of our God! His holy mountain, beautiful in elevation, is the joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, in the far north, the city of the great King. Within her citadels God has made himself known as a fortress.” (Psalm 48:1-3)

The close biblical connection between Mount Zion and Israel’s prominent place in Jesus’ future kingdom is not lost on our opponents. They regard the Jewish people, including those living in modern-day Israel, as wholly unworthy of such a future blessing. Satan’s lies concerning the current Jewish state fuel this hatred, which has sadly seeped into many churches.

Many of today’s anti-Zionists believe they have successfully refuted the central tenets of Premillennialism by pointing to the current wayward condition of Israel. They argue that Israel’s present unbelief demonstrates the nation’s unworthiness to occupy a prominent place in Jesus’ future kingdom. In doing so, however, they overlook two vital biblical truths:

First, Scripture teaches that in the years leading up to the seven-year Tribulation, the seventieth week of Daniel, Israel would exist in a state of unbelief. And this is exactly what we see today. The Bible tells us that the Lord will use this future seven-year period to bring a remnant of the Jewish people to saving faith in Jesus (Zechariah 12:10-13:8). No one believes that the Israel of today is ready to receive the glories of the promised kingdom, but God is not yet finished with His people. Is that not true of all redeemed saints as well?

Second, the fulfillment of God’s promises to His people, whether it be Israel or us as believers, has never depended on any worthiness in those who receive His many blessings, never, never. If it did, as New Testament saints we would be a whole lot of trouble because we, too, are wholly unworthy to receive anything promised to us in Scripture. Our hope rests solely in Jesus, in what He promises us in His Word.

God Loves Zion

There’s another fundamental problem for those who use “Zionism” as though it were a curse word in our day; they pit themselves against God Himself, who clearly loves Zion. Each time I read through the Psalms, I’m amazed by the many references to God’s great affection for this hill within Jerusalem, such as we read in Psalm 87:1–3: “On the holy mount stands the city he founded; the Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwelling places of Jacob. Glorious things of you are spoken, O city of God. Selah” (emphasis added)

The following verses also speak to God’s passion for Zion: “For the Lord has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place: This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it.” (Psalm 132:13-14, emphasis added)

Today’s hatred for Israel, which has sadly infiltrated many of today’s churches, reflects the acceptance of worldly wisdom over the clear promises of Scripture. It is precisely what the Apostle Paul warns believers about in Colossians 2:1-8, that of regarding false “plausible arguments” as truth, ones that lead believers away from the wisdom contained in God’s Word. He summed up his counsel in verse 8:

See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.

Don’t fall for the worldly wisdom that causes so many in our day to denounce those whom God has chosen and to whom He has promised a glorious restoration. Don’t allow such thinking to “take you captive,” instead, thank Him for His great mercy and grace by which He keeps His promises to all His people, including us!

Someday, the Lord will surely rescue and cause Israel to be a blessing to the nations, just as He promised in Zechariah 8:13. The Lord Jesus will rule the world from Mount Zion, count on it.

Do Israeli Zionists realise that, at the end-point of Christian Zionism, everyone dies unless they're the "right" sort of Christian?
Lots of interesting links, some hilarious.

Israel's $40M damage-control influence operation in the US

#Haaretz reports #Israel tripled its #propaganda budget (now $40.5M/year via Brad Parscale's firm) targeting Republican Christians — as support tanks. 41% of Republicans and 57% of young Republicans view Israel negatively. 60% of Americans don't trust Netanyahu's decisions.

The campaign shifted from anti-Palestinian content to justifying the Iran war, after accusations #Netanyahu dragged #Trump into it. New site: TheTruthAboutIran.com. Also now attacking #Qatar and #China as an "anti-Western axis", (even as Netanyahu's own advisors run a pro-Qatar campaign on the side.)

#NCPPR is not a concerned shareholder. They're a #KochBrothers-backed conservative group that bought a handful of #NYT shares so they could sue. A court already threw out the same tactic against #Starbucks: #NCPPR wasn't protecting investors, it was "advancing its own political agenda" with "obvious vindictiveness."

The #JPost article frames them as accountability watchdogs:

[…] "The purpose of the demand is to investigate whether the company's board of directors and senior management have upheld their fiduciary duties" … "It is instead seeking to investigate possible corporate mismanagement, inadequate oversight" … "Mostly, the inspection of the processes is of great shareholder concern, especially for financial reasons."

#NCPPR owns maybe 56 shares. A court already ruled they use lawsuits to push politics, not protect investors. They brought in a tiny Jewish advocacy group (#NJAC, ~$11K annual budget) for the optics.

Their own lawyer admits a defamation suit "would likely fail." They're using a US law called Section 1782 - which lets parties in foreign lawsuits compel US companies to hand over evidence. Israel files a weak defamation case, then uses 1782 to force the #NYT to produce everything: notes, sources, names, photos, medical records.

Israel exercises undue influence of the US and UK in banning speech from Cenk Uygur and Hassan Piker, revoking the visas of each. Meanwhile, Israel's finance minister marches in NYC. If you don't think we are now smack in the middle of Western fascism, think again.
