There has been a lot of news on the global front since I last posted to this site. The news has been coming so hot and heavy that I’ve simply not been able to find time to keep this site active. I’ve been posting instead at my Substack, which I urge you all to check out. I’ve also been doing a lot of media interviews, mostly but not exclusively with Brannon Howse at WorldviewTube.com, who has developed a fantastic 24/7 TV network providing great coverage of the fast-moving developments in the Middle East.
Brannon has posted a new article that lays out what I think are legitimate concerns about the potential fallout from what we see happening right now in the Middle East.
He explains how various contradictions in U.S. policy could come back to bite us, and how the vast majority of Americans are completely unprepared for what’s coming. These are some of the same concerns, by the way, that I laid out in my book, Stealth Invasion, published back in 2017 and banned by Amazon in 2022 despite its hundreds of positive reader reviews and 4.7 overall rating. You can still get it at BarnesAndNoble.com.
I documented in that book that the endless U.S.-sponsored Middle East wars drive millions of Muslim refugees into the United States and Europe, many of them being the same type of people we fight in the overseas wars, so why would we welcome them into our own country? The neocons say we must fight them “over there” or we will be fighting them “over here,” while ignoring the fact that they are already “over here.” We now have approximately 4.5 million Muslims in America, and most of them are here because they or their parents were sent here with plane tickets paid for by the U.S. government. They have built thousands of mosques and are represented by the radical voices of the Muslim Brotherhood, doing business as CAIR, ISNA, ICNA, etc. I also explained how some of the Middle East’s most radical imams have been welcomed to America under special visa programs for religious clerics or “immigrant religious workers.” This explains why 80 percent of America’s imams are foreign born and from places like Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Pakistan. This visa program is still being offered under the Trump State Department, which you can see here. You almost have to wonder if America’s neocon war hawks aren’t furthering a program, knowingly or unknowingly, in which Bibi Netanyahu clears out some of the worst Islamic actors from his region and relocates them to America and Europe!
Brannon also explains how America’s blind support for Netanyahu’s ever-expansive Middle East war plans, which should not be confused with the Jewish people’s biblical right to dwell in the land, something I wholeheartedly support, will divide the MAGA movement and lead to the resounding defeat of the Trump-wing of the Republican Party in the coming midterm elections. In short, the neocons are preparing Donald Trump to walk into a trap that could destroy his presidency, at the same time it destroys America.
Brannon’s article is reproduced below, with permission, and it originated at WorldviewTube.com, a fantastic site filled with independent analysis that you won’t find elsewhere.
As a supporter of Israel’s right to self-defense and its efforts to counter Iran’s nuclear ambitions, I stand firmly behind President Trump’s administration for selling weapons to Israel, providing intelligence, and defensive military support to Israel. However, I am deeply concerned about the state of our nation, particularly regarding internal security, preparedness for potential conflicts, and inconsistencies in addressing threats both domestically and abroad. I am calling for urgent action to safeguard America’s future and the split of the MAGA movement is exactly what the deep-state desires as well as America’s foreign enemies that have set up camp in America.
Support for Israel and Its Implications
I fully endorse Israel’s right to defend itself against threats, particularly from Iran’s nuclear program, which poses a significant risk to regional stability. President Trump’s administration has supported Israel through arms sales, intelligence sharing, and defensive actions, such as intercepting Iranian missiles. In June 2025, Israel launched strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, damaging sites like Natanz but leaving much of the program intact, including near-bomb-grade uranium stockpiles. These actions underscore the importance of U.S. support for Israel, but they also highlight the need to balance international commitments with domestic security priorities.
Internal Threats: The Red-Green Axis and Foreign Interference
America faces existential threats from within, exacerbated by years of policies that have allowed adversaries to exploit vulnerabilities. The “red-green axis,” a term referring to a coalition of Marxist and Islamist groups, is a massive domestic threat NOW!
More alarmingly, recent reports give further evidence to foreign interference in U.S. elections. In June 2025, FBI Director Kash Patel revealed declassified intelligence alleging that China mass-produced fake U.S. driver’s licenses to facilitate fraudulent mail-in ballots in the 2020 election. These documents were turned over to Senator Chuck Grassley.
Additionally, allegations of compromised U.S. officials in the Biden regime, reportedly in the White House, FBI and CIA, were receiving funds from the Chinese Communist Party. This further underscores the need for robust internal security measures.
Lack of Preparedness for Potential Conflicts
The U.S. is alarmingly unprepared for potential conflicts on its soil. In May 2025, Brigadier General Doug Wickert, commander of the 412th Test Wing at Edwards Air Force Base, warned local civic leaders that a Chinese attack on Taiwan could lead to massive disruptions in the U.S., including power grid shutdowns. Wickert emphasized China’s rapid military buildup and the strategic importance of U.S. aircraft like the B-21 Raider in deterring Beijing. Despite this warning, no comprehensive national or state-level briefings have been conducted to prepare Americans for such scenarios. Unlike China and Russia, which have been preparing their populations for years, the U.S. lacks the mental, material, physical and spiritual readiness to face war on our soil. This gap leaves critical infrastructure and communities vulnerable to attacks that could exploit these weaknesses.
Iran’s Nuclear Program: A Question of Clarity
President Trump has repeatedly stated that Iran must not acquire nuclear weapons, a stance supported by many in the U.S. and Israel. However, concerns exist that Iran may already possess nuclear capabilities. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reports that Iran has enriched uranium to near weapons-grade levels, with enough material for multiple bombs if further processed. The discrepancy between official rhetoric and expert assessments, such as those by the late Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, who suggested Iran might already have nuclear capabilities, raises questions about strategic clarity. If Iran already has a nuclear weapon is America’s direct involvement in an offensive manner potentially risking Iran’s use of that nuclear weapon? These are questions that need to be addressed to the American people. How do we know that Iran or any other foreign nation do not already have nuclear weapons on American soil? I have interviewed Congressman Kurt Weldon on this very issue. Weldon was vice-chair of the Armed Services Committee and the House Homeland Security Committee and has warned about nuclear suitcase bombs for over 25 years.
Inconsistent Policies on Islamic Extremism
A significant concern is the inconsistency in U.S. policies toward Islamic extremism. While the U.S. supports Israel against Iran’s state-sponsored terrorism, some domestic groups with ties to extremist ideologies, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, operate openly in the U.S., often under the protection of religious freedom. The FBI notes that social media has enabled groups like ISIS to radicalize individuals within the U.S., posing a direct threat to national security. Critics argue that this double standard—combating extremism abroad while allowing it to flourish domestically—weakens America’s moral and strategic position. For example, incidents involving radicalized individuals targeting events focused on Islamic extremism highlight the real dangers within U.S. communities. Addressing this inconsistency requires a unified approach that balances religious freedoms with robust counterterrorism measures. We have been told for decades we have to fight the Islamists over there or we will have to fight them here. Sorry, but they are here and they are winning without fighting. They are winning by propaganda, infiltration, and by using our liberties to burry themselves deep inside our communities, government offices and within key government agencies and even within our U.S. military. Numerous news outlets have reported that recently two former jihadists, including Ismail Royer, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba and convicted for supporting terrorism, have been appointed to Trump’s White House advisory board. Why? Would Israel put such people on an advisory board for their Prime Minister? Why are we so schizophrenic in our foreign and domestic policy?
Geopolitical Alliances: The Axis of Upheaval
The military and economic alliance among Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, often referred to as the “axis of upheaval,” poses a significant threat to U.S. interests. In January 2025, Russia signed a strategic partnership treaty with Iran, following similar pacts with China and North Korea, aimed at countering Western influence and supporting Russia’s war in Ukraine. These countries have deepened military-technical cooperation, with Iran supplying drones and missiles to Russia, and China providing industrial support. U.S. military leaders warn that this alliance could lead to prolonged, multi-front conflicts, as these nations’ coordinated actions challenge Western dominance.
Conclusion and Call to Action
In these perilous times, President Trump must prioritize American defense by addressing internal threats, preparing the nation for potential conflicts, and resolving policy inconsistencies. The allegations of foreign interference, the lack of preparedness for domestic disruptions, and the risks posed by global alliances demand urgent attention. A national address from the Oval Office, outlining these threats and a clear plan to counter them, is essential to rally the American people.
Wisdom, resolve, and a focus on domestic security will be critical to safeguarding our republic. May God bless President Trump and guide America through these challenges.

Well folks, whadaya know ! The Americans have dropped the bombs and have therefore moved from a proxy war into a full on war. They could have supplied the stealth bombers and training to the highly experienced Israeli air force. But I reckon that the plan was always to get America involved.
It is now almost inevitable that we will see young American men being sent to the slaughter house as the Israeli American alliance seek to enforce regime change in a country which is prepared to fight back.
The alliance will plead self defence as usual as they press ahead with the Zionist agenda at the cost of American lives. The Zionist cries out ! as he pummels an innocent man to the ground.

“…the plan was always to get America involved.” Yes, it certainly was. Get the goyim to sacrifice themselves for Zion—those hapless kids from the Midwest and South, from poor neighborhoods or merely middle class ones. Send Americans into the maw of this soon-to-be region-wide Verdun. Meanwhile, when the first missiles hit Tel Aviv a week ago, the rich Israelis lit out on their yachts for Cyprus and Greece, while the lower classes are required to remain behind to face retribution at last. Karma is what happens when a proxy commits crimes against humanity for its puppet master. Isn’t that always the case in war? The filthy rich always start wars and escape the consequences that the rest are forced to bear. Oh, I forgot—some believe they’ll be raptured out of any consequences for spreading the pernicious heresy that has provided the evil background ideology for WWIII. So awful that this mad nihilism continues to poison the American mindset.
I didn’t listen to Trump’s speech last night. It would require a prescription for anti-nausea meds to sit through his lies and his thuggish self-congratulations. He is so thoroughly compromised by Zionist billionaire donors that his “foreign policy” must comply with their hegemonic wishes, as well as the designs of our Nazi-types infesting our whole governing system. I’m sure at some point the Mob treated him to a private showing of the unedited Zapruder film as many times as necessary to make sure he gets the point. Trump does NOT have the courage or the vision of a JFK/RFK to stand against the warmongering criminal elements, as he’s one of them, even talks like a goon. How did we get into this trap??? I think America as a beacon of freedom and justice ended on November 22, 1963.
There’s a lot of boiling anger on the internet about all this. Wonder how this will express itself politically. Will there be anti-war marches like in the 60s? There need to be some kind of revolt before this goes any further.

“He is so thoroughly compromised by Zionist billionaire donors“
Sadly for America the Zionists have hijacked the government and they have also hijacked the evangelical church.
In Israel they’ve hijacked the government and Judaism.
“some believe they’ll be raptured out of any consequences for spreading the pernicious heresy that has provided the evil background ideology for WWIII.“
Yes their false doctrine has given them a false bravery and an unfair hatred for a people who have been vilified by the Zionist Gestapo.
It angers me when I see the evangelicals celebrating the horrors being inflicted on the Palestinian people. The Christian Zionists are being played by an Israeli government which actually hates Christianity.
I mentioned ‘regime change; in my other post and now I notice that Trump is calling for regime change.
The best way to conquer a country is to introduce regime change and to put your own puppet government in place.
“the U.S. has attempted over 80 regime changes since World War II alone”
But more significantly they were involved in the removal of Assad in Syria, Gaddafi in Libya, and even in Iran in 1953 where a CIA backed coup ousted PM Mossadegh.
So, the current Iranian government would have known better than to trust America in negotiations which were in fact a distraction to confuse matters as the bombing campaign was being rolled out.
“Will there be anti-war marches like in the 60s? “
There’s nothing like seeing body bags being brought back to America to arouse public outcry. But I reckon that the government now , is so controlled by the Zionists that they wont yield to public opinion.
There are up to 50,000 American troops already stationed in the region. I suspect that it wont be long before they are mobilised.
The Israeli air campaign can only achieve so much. But the Iranians have a significant number of mobile missile launchers. “These mobile platforms can launch short-, medium-, and long-range ballistic missiles, as well as cruise missiles like the Abu Mahdi, which has a range of over 1,000 km”
This is why I believe that a ground campaign is inevitable where the “goyim” will be used to do the dirty work and take the hit.

You basically take the neocon position here, with some qualifications.
You wholeheartedly support “Israel against Iran’s state-sponsored terrorism”, but ignore the real terrorists in the Middle East has been Israel itself, acting first as the UK’s colonist proxy against the Palestinians, now as ours. If Israel is acting as our proxy (example: Trump gave Netanyahu “permission” to attack Iran), then we are using them to spread death, destruction and chaos throughout the region. Through black ops, we destroyed all the Arab and Iranian secular governments. We financed and armed Sunni Iraq to invade Iran in 1980, a war that cost 1 million Iranians lives before it ended in 1989. The US has funded and armed ALL the violent Sunni jihadis groups from North Africa to Afghanistan—the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, Al-Nusra, ISIS, etc. Israel funded Hamas as a foil against the PLO and is now supporting ISIS gangsters within Gaza to disrupt food distribution. The US funded and armed the jihadis that took down Libya and after bringing ruin and continual chaos to them; we airlifted those same jihadis to Syria in 2011 to overthrow Assad. Both US/Israel armed and funded Al-Nusra to destroy Syria and now OUR terrorists rule it, killing Christian and Shia muslims alike.
Shi’ite Iran is the prime locus of resistance against the Western neo-colonialists—nearly all the Shia communities and some Sunni in the Middle East had joined it. So this is actually a war against Shi’ite muslims in Iran, Syria, Iraq, Yemen who stand in the way of Western expansion into China and the underbelly of Russia. That’s why both Russia and China are watching this carefully—they know what we’re up to and what it means for them., if Iran falls. Iran is the last piece on our game board. The Sunni Arab nations, whose leadership was Western-installed, has long been an enemy of Shi’a Islam, and they will gladly do as we tell them. But we own the whole situation entirely. OUR neo-colonial strategy is the main engine of terrorism in the region.
Since we destroyed the homelands of all these muslims and forced them to immigrate to Europe and the US, the elites who concocted this mess could care less if these people live in peace with Westerners. And of course, the muslims and Westerners can’t and don’t live together in peace, so this can easily make for a nasty civil war type of situation. But then, after all, at the recent Bilderberg conference, they were discussing de-population.
As for the Israeli “right to defend itself” –a phrase so often toss around to excuse all manner of their egregious behavior, Israeli is NOT defending itself. Zionist Israel, with its racist ideology, has long been on the attack against the indigenous people of the region since the Balfour Declaration. It is our attack dog to carry out our overarching strategy to establish our regional hegemony. This is done without any consideration of how this might place Israelis in danger of retaliation. They could well end up as the devastated “Ukraine” of the region, once we achieve our ultimate hegemonic prize. Meanwhile, the only nuclear power in the Middle East is Israel and unlike Iran, they have always refused to sign the Non-Proliferation Treaty and they refuse any inspections of their nuclear facilities. It is estimated that they have about 90-200 nuclear warheads. Iran has none according to US intel. In 2003, Ayatollah Khameini forbad any development of nuclear weapons as violation of Islamic law. But now, with Israel’s and US stupid aggression, all bets may be off about that and who can blame them.
Is it in the US interest to always have that region in upheaval? No—then why do we keep it that way? Because we seem to have no idea how to approach other nations with genuine diplomacy. Instead, our approach to other nations, especially 3rd world, is “submit or be bombed”. This is wearing very thin, and the US is much weaker than it was before the Vietnam war. I would suggest everyone listen to JFK’s American University speech of June 1963 to get a different and much greater vision of things. Since him, no president has evidenced any intelligent vision of world peace comparable to his.
Also, just to clear up a misconception that is vastly clouding American politics: Who did God give the promise to? Read the passage in Genesis 12:2-3 again. What does it actually say?? “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you.” God is NOT talking to “Israel” or Jews in general. He specifically made a promise to Abraham and his profession of faith. And who is his direct descendant through whom all families of the earth would be blessed? Look at the genealogies in Matthew and Luke—it is Jesus, He is the promise, and those who profess the faith of Abraham are that great nation. And those Jews back in Jesus’ time who were so proud of their bloodlines as if their DNA was their salvation—Jesus said to them: “And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham” (Matt. 3-7) So the modern state of Israel, founded and populated by communists, fascists, secularists, atheists (like Netanyahu) and anti-Christ religious fanatics like Ben Gvir, are not the great nation spoken of in Genesis. Modern Israel was not formed by God for the safety of Jews, but to play instead a terrible, demonic role in world politics today, that has shown itself quite willing to sacrifice its own people.

Hi Kayjae. “Israel against Iran’s state-sponsored terrorism” …I believe that was written by Brannon not me. While I agree with Brannon’s basic premise that Israel has a right to defend its borders I would not have chosen the same exact wording that he used in several parts of his article. Just wanted you to know that you were quoting from his article there and not my intro to his article. Thanks for weighing in, my friend.

Thanks for the correction, Leo.
I think our approach to this problem is the problem itself. US/UK and Western nations are trying very hard to impose their hegemony on the Middle East and Central Asia, regardless of the consequences. Our media constantly repeats the mantra “Israel has a right to defend itself” but completely ignores the fact that Iran also has that right, as does Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Libya, Palestine and all countries we have warred against without cause for the last 100 years. We simply have the same imperialist mindset that led the world to WWI & WWII, which we are now imposing on the Middle East. We learned nothing from all that carnage since WWI. Why do we continue in this?? It will destroy us one day.
Moreover, the entire Middle East—the whole world– knows we cannot be trusted. Our word means nothing, beginning with the promises Britain made to King Faisal after WWI, who had, along with Lawrence of Arabia, led the Arab revolt against the Ottomans. To bring this history of constant betrayal to the present time, Trump deliberately used diplomacy to deceive the Iranians and lull them so that Israel can attack them. Why would anyone want to negotiate with us now?? The Iranians have acted in good faith and with honesty regarding nukes, but Israel never has, yet we unquestioningly support Israel in their dishonesty and excuse and defend them in all their crimes against humanity. Something is wrong with our thinking.
Here’s something that tells me about our so-called enemies, the muslims. Recently the Israelis bombed an Iranian TV station while they were broadcasting. The speaker, a woman, was encouraging the Iranians to resist, the suddenly there was a loud bang and the lights went out. Some studio helper immediately shouts in the dark “Allah Akbar!” (God is great). That immediately reminded me of an incident years ago at a local coffee shop I often visited that was owned by an Egyptian muslim. A very decent guy, hard-working, beautiful family (and he made great babaganoush.) One day he dropped a glass dish, breaking it in a thousand pieces. The food in it had to be thrown out and remade and he was already tired. But his immediate and rather cheerful reaction was “It’s ok, God is still good!” By contrast, when something bad happens to one of us, how often do you hear that person say angrily: “God damn!” or worse, “Jesus fxxking Christ”. That shows where we are as a culture that was once Christian. We react within ourselves with a kind of spiritual, blasphemous violence which spills out over everything. That’s why I say our approach to the problems of foreign affairs is the problem itself. We need to change our mindset in a very fundamental way, because it’s obvious we have nothing to offer anyone except our violence and lack of peace.

Well , here we are. The inevitable has happened. I’ve just been reading that “Trump has approved plan for attack on Iran and could launch strike in coming days.”
American foot soldiers should be hoping for early ‘regime change’ in Iran so that they are not caught up in a prolonged bloody war.
Either way, I see American soldiers being deployed to ‘keep the peace’. It remains to be seen what resistance the Iranians on the ground, will put up to the US, Israeli alliance.
Israel has said that it has plans in place which will make the ‘pagers’ attacks seem trivial by comparison. I expect Israel will cripple Iran’s communications and banking infrastructure in the coming days with a huge cyber attack. This would cause widespread public unrest and disapproval of the Iranian government. There is already a lot of public discontent in Iran.
“Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who writes the laws.”
So, maybe ‘bits’ not bombs could win this war.

Hey Leo,
Thought I’d mentioned something I noticed in my hometown. Empty milk and yogurt shelves at the whole foods stores. I asked the employees at the store what was going on and they gave me some boiler plate non answer. I did research myself through Grok and this is what it was saying:
“The shortage of whole milk at stores like Natural Grocers and Whole Foods in June 2025 is primarily due to a cyberattack on United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI), a major supplier for these retailers. The attack, detected last week, disrupted UNFI’s IT systems, halting its delivery and order-processing capabilities. This has led to empty shelves for various products, including milk.”
I asked Grok why then they couldn’t ship things manually, and it gave me strange answer saying there’s “a lot of logistics involved blah blah blah”. “They’d have to resort to fax machines and emails to order blah blah blah”. I also asked Grok What do the milk producers do with the milk in the meantime? “They can refrigerate it for a while but then they’ll have to dump it if it goes too long.
Anyway I got a feeling there’s going to be more of this “cyber” activity disrupting supply chains in other sectors.

As a Jewish child living in Massachusetts, I prayed the Lord’s Prayer in public schools — 70 years ago. Could the schizophrenia in America’s policies be (in part) due to throwing out the one, true, Living God, and, instead, trusting in man ? ? In Jeremiah 17 : 5 – 11 we are warned about the {schizophrenic} curse of trusting in man. Brannon Howse’s article makes an important observation…. also noted in Leo Hohmann’s book.
