Donald Trump‘s top counterterrorism official has resigned in protest over the Iran war, accusing Israel of pressuring the US into a conflict he says was built on lies.
Joseph Kent, Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, said Iran posed no imminent threat and the war was started ‘due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,’ adding: ‘I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war.’
Kent, who served under Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, accused the President of reneging on the non-interventionist principles he campaigned on.
‘Until June of 2025, you understood that the wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation,’ the former Army Special Forces soldier wrote in his resignation letter.
‘The time for bold action is now. You can reverse course and chart a new path for our nation, or you can allow us to slip further toward decline and chaos. You hold the cards.’

Kent, who deployed to combat 11 times and lost his wife Shannon in what he calls a war manufactured by Israel, is closely aligned with the populist ‘America First’ wing of the Trump administration, including Gabbard and Vice President JD Vance, who have both warned against new Middle East entanglements.
His resignation lays bare a widening split inside Trumpworld. Kent accused high-ranking Israeli officials and members of the American media of running a ‘misinformation campaign’ to deceive the President into believing Iran posed an imminent threat, drawing a direct parallel to the lead-up to the Iraq war.
This is a major upside of this war for Israel — every day more Americans become aware of the danger of Jewish Supremist infiltration throughout our government and society; their bribery, blackmail and murder. Trump’s cabinet have all bowed and scraped before the Jewish Supremists. A possible good side of that is at least some of them are covert true patriots waiting for right conditions to disarm JS power over USA. ABN
The highest court in Panama has nulled the ‘Chinese’ contract for the operation of both entrance ports on the Panama Canal. The Panamanian government took back control and assigned operations to APM Terminals, a subsidiary of the Danish group A.P. Moller-Maersk.
The state takeover comes after a 14-month long saga begun by President Trump who reasserted American interests in the hemisphere and rejected the concept of allowing China to have strategic control over such vital North American infrastructure.
This country took us in. It gave us safety, schools, jobs, freedom to worship, things most of our parents and grandparents never had back home. America didn’t just let us live here; it let us become something bigger.
But some of us still act like we’re just visiting. Some put the ummah first, no matter their hypocrisies. Some think sharia should ever come before the Constitution. Some make excuses the second another “Allahu Akbar” shooter opens fire on our streets. Some scream for foreign flags while American soldiers and cops are bleeding ten miles from the White House.
If that’s you, do us all a favor: go home. Go back to the country you or your parents ran from. They obviously need you more than we do.
The rest of us; the ones who tear up at the national anthem, who thank God every day we’re American, who see every citizen here as family, aren’t going anywhere. And we’re done staying quiet while the loudest voices make the rest of us look bad.
So here it is, plain and simple:
Put America first or get the f*** out.
No third option. – An American Muslim who bleeds red, white, and blue.
This video that these elected Democrat officials are doing now is a call to arms to get the last remaining few people within the intelligence community, within the bureaucracy to stand up and fight and I think it’s outrageous — Grenell
What he describes is a subcultural psycholinguistic and psycho-semiotic cage.
It has its own signs and symbols and like most subcultures stands in opposition to their caricature of the larger culture in which they live.
Mind-control works largely through manipulating these and many other subcultures and then manipulating our responses to them.
I hope all FIML practitioners can see this and also see outside of these semiotic cages, something very difficult for all humans to do no matter how smart you may be.
Psycholinguistics and semiotics have an enormous psychological and emotional component, which has a very strong hold on all of us.
Many people who grasp this only understand how to use it to manipulate other people. There are hundreds of books and videos on how to do this.
You can do stuff like that and it sort of works, but it’s horrible morality and goes against Buddhist practice because it is a form of deception, of lying. It’s a cheap exploitation of a universal human weakness.
The big problem here is that while individuals in pairs and small group can free themselves from their psycholinguistic cages, large numbers of people cannot.
I do not know how to fix that. Maybe AI or some other new tech will help.
For now, we are stuck with a variety of metacognitive cages that hold large groups of people together.
These are our religions, ideologies, races, ethnies, and subcultures, like the one described above.
There is no power or authority on earth that can control metacognitive group identity, which is why conflict and war is inevitable.
Humans are too simple-minded to see a way out in large numbers, so large crazy groups will continue to rule the world.
The crazier they are, the stronger their hold on their members because it is very hard to get out of a crazy cage in which you have invested everything or were born into.
Look around you. Is there any culture that is not insane? ABN
UPDATE: Kirk is the kind of man who has been culled in USA and the West for many decades.
Usually, they are poisoned or maimed when they are young, before they gain a reputation like Kirk’s.
Men and boys like him are culled because they are strong, smart, can speak very well, are honest and do not fear telling the truth.
Across the West we hear women complaining where are the men who will protect us?
There are many factors but a very major one is millions of men with the natural ability to protect women and their societies have been destroyed even before they became adults.
It’s a military strategy and has been very effective in destroying the West.
As a nation or civilization, it is difficult to find the will to fight against this strategy because those who hold power have been major beneficiaries of the culling process.
And that makes it very hard for them to see what is happening or do anything about it if they do. Consider how many feckless weaklings are flourishing in politics, media, art, teaching and more. ABN
