@JoeRogan and @ComicDaveSmith highlight the startling claims made by General Wesley Clark, who asserted that the U.S. government had formulated plans to attack seven Middle Eastern countries, ultimately culminating with Iran, days after the tragic events of September 11, 2001.
The conversation delves into the propaganda used to justify these wars, the staggering profits amassed by weapons manufacturers—amounting to trillions of dollars—and the tragic toll of millions of innocent lives lost.
"They decide they want to fight these wars. Then, they make up an excuse that they tell the American people. Then, these weapons companies rake in hundreds of billions of dollars in profits, and babies get slaughtered. That's what really happens. Innocent men, women, and children die."
Today, Secretary of State Blinken warned Iran that the U.S. will respond 'decisively' to any attacks targeting U.S. personnel.
This statement follows his warning, issued two days ago, that the U.S. expects increased hostilities from Iran directed at U.S. forces.
The question remains: Will the Biden administration and the U.S. government finally get its war against Iran?

Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, and David Sacks discuss the growing risk of World War 3, calling on world leaders to prioritize peace, diplomacy, and cooperation to avert a looming catastrophe.
@elonmusk: "We're sleepwalking our way into World War 3."
@VivekGRamaswamy: "Once you explain to people that this is not anti-Ukraine or anti-Israel, but this is a pro-American or even, as Elon put it, a pro-civilizational view to keep us out of World War 3..."
@DavidSacks: "This is why we need fresh thinking and leadership in Washington. People who've been there for 30+ years don't realize the world has changed. We're not in the unipolar moment anymore, and the people who developed all their political instincts during that moment have failed to grasp how the world has changed."
@elonmusk: "A combination of Russia, China, and Iran should be viewed as very strong relative to the West... The potential here isn't a small battle. It is a massive battle where the industrial capacity is of comparable size to the Western alliances... We do not have an overwhelming advantage in industrial might, and the foundation of war is economic power, especially industrial output...
@elonmusk: "Unfortunately, our policy has been forcing Russia and Iran to ally with China. It's been forcing them. What choice have we given them? And so, Russia has the raw materials, and China has the industrial capacity, frankly, a perfect match from a war standpoint. So we need to stop doing that. It's unwise, and I think it will lead to immense risk to civilization... We need to make sure we are not putting civilization itself at risk, which is World War 3."

NEW - President Biden's full speech addressing the nation, asking for additional billions of dollars in military assistance for Israel and Ukraine.
“Like so many others, I’m heartbroken by the tragic loss of Palestinian life, including the explosion at the hospital in Gaza, which was not done by the Israelis,” he stressed.
Turning to the Ukraine war, Biden said, “The assault on Israel echoes nearly 20 months of war, tragedy, and brutality inflicted on the people of Ukraine, people who were very badly hurt since Putin launched his all-out invasion.”
“Hamas and Putin represent different threats, but they share this in common: They both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy,” he stated. “Hamas’ stated purpose for existing is the destruction of the State of Israel and the murder of Jewish people.”
“Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people. Hamas uses Palestinian civilians and human shields, and innocent Palestinian civilians are suffering because of that.”
"History has taught us that when terrorists don't pay a price for their terror, when dictators don't pay a price for their aggression, they cause more chaos and debt and more destruction," Biden said.
"They keep going -- and the cost and the threats to America and the world keep rising."
--------
Over the last two decades, America's involvement in wars has yielded staggering consequences, resulting in 37 million people being displaced, 4.5 million lives lost, and an astonishing price tag of $8 trillion.
Presidents Bush, Obama, and Vice President Biden started wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, and Yemen.
These actions transformed these nations into breeding grounds for terrorism, instability, loss of life, and widespread devastation.
History has taught us that America's foreign policy establishment starts wars that are unequivocal disasters based on false premises that ultimately fail to serve the interests of the American people.

One month ago, Mohammed bin Salman announced that Saudi Arabia was moving "closer" to a historic normalization agreement with Israel, with this progress linked to Palestinian negotiations and an arms deal with the United States.
At the same time, Benjamin Netanyahu unveiled the India-Middle East-Europe-Economic Corridor (IMEC), a trade route connecting India and the European Union through the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Israel.
Fast forward one month, Hamas carried out a terrorist attack on Israel.
In response, Israel declared war on Hamas, initiating airstrikes on Gaza and cutting off food, water, and electricity to 2 million Palestinians.
The United States deployed two carrier strike groups to the Mediterranean, the State Department issued a "worldwide caution" for American citizens, and the Middle East stands at the precipice of war.
What is the goal behind the terrorist attack on Israel?
Is it possible for Israel to eradicate Hamas without killing tens of thousands of Palestinians?
Does China, Russia, and Iran want India, Saudi Arabia, and Israel to build an alternative trade route to the Belt & Road initiative?

Professor John Mearsheimer advises against Israeli ground invasions or ongoing bombing in Gaza, citing Palestinian civilian casualties enraging the Arab world and jeopardizing Western support. Moreover, eradicating Hamas would likely create a more radicalized replacement group.
"I think the Israelis have come to realize that this is not a smart idea, going into Gaza and trying to eliminate Hamas will cause more trouble than it's worth. And then, in the end, even if you were to eradicate Hamas, you'd get a new radicalized group in its place, you're not going to solve the problem with military force. This is a political problem...
They're in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation because if they don't go in Hamas lives to fight another day. And they're well armed, and they're going to continue to cause problems.
Then, if they don't go in, they bomb Gaza. But this is a total disaster, not only because, from a human point of view, from a human rights point of view, just seeing civilians killed is an absolutely horrible thing. But also, it does no good strategically. It doesn't solve the problem.
It just enrages people inside the Palestinian world inside the Arab world. And it even loses support over time for Israel in the West. So bombing is no solution either. So, the Israelis are really between a rock and a hard place. I don't know what they do to fix the problem. And this gets back to my earlier point that the solution to this was a two-state solution."

🚨Since 9/11, America's War on Terror has had staggering consequences: 37 million people displaced, 4.5 million lives lost, and a jaw-dropping $8 trillion price tag.
US-backed wars funneled millions of refugees to the US and Europe.
Over his 50-year career, President Biden championed these foreign wars and interventions.
Including the contentious NATO expansion and US meddling in Ukraine, believed by many to have ignited the ongoing US-Russia proxy war in Ukraine, displacing an extra 6 million refugees since 2014.
Polls show that 80% of Americans are concerned Israel's war with Hamas in Palestine will lead to a larger Middle Eastern war.
Americans should be worried.
Remember, President Trump was the first president in 40 years that did not start a new war.
It's no coincidence that a US-Russia proxy war rages in Ukraine while the Middle East stands on the brink of destruction, with President Biden and the US foreign policy establishment once again running the show.
President Biden and the US foreign policy establishment are responsible for multiple wars, millions of casualties, and trillions wasted on foreign interventions in the past two decades.

Yoel Roth, Twitter's former 'Censor-in-Chief,' renowned for censoring the Biden laptop story, President Trump, and the political right during the 2020 election, is now complaining that the right is censoring his censorship industry via lawsuits and congressional investigations.
In a New York Times op-ed, Roth laments investigations aimed at his beloved censorship industry:
"Private individuals from academic researchers to employees and tech companies are increasingly the target of lawsuits, congressional hearings, and vicious online attacks. These efforts, largely staged by the right, are having their desired effect."
"We've stopped having a conversation about the facts. We've stopped having a debate about which ideas are good, which ideas are bad, good research, bad research.
We've sort of entered this phase where silencing people has become the de facto way to advance your interests."
The irony here is palpable.
Roth, who not only silenced dissent during the 2020 election but also suppressed doctors, scientists, and professors during the COVID pandemic, appears oddly unaware of the irony that he's complaining about investigations silencing his own censorship empire.

JUST IN - Secretary of State Blinken warns Iran that the United States will respond 'decisively' to any attacks.
“The U.S. does not seek conflict with Iran. We do not want this war to widen. But, if Iran or its proxies attack U.S. personnel anywhere, make no mistake: We will defend our people, we will defend our security, swiftly and decisively.”
"It is no secret to anyone in this room, or on this council, that for years, Iran has supported Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and other groups that continue to carry out attacks on Israel. Iranian leaders have routinely threatened to wipe Israel off the map. In recent weeks, Iran's proxies have repeatedly attacked U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria..."
What is the probability of Hezbollah and the Houthis launching attacks on Israel when Israel initiates its ground invasion of Gaza?
What is the probability of that escalating into a war between the United States and Iran?

Renowned economist Jeffrey Sachs highlights how decades of U.S. foreign policy and divisive corporate media propaganda influenced by the military-industrial complex have ultimately played a significant role in causing the Wars in Ukraine and the Middle East:
Key points:
•The UN Security Council's recent 14-1 vote underscores U.S. isolation regarding the Israel-Palestine issue.
•U.S. foreign policy heavily reliant on military dominance faces serious setbacks in the Middle East and Ukraine.
•President Biden's rhetoric reflects a lack of understanding of the changing world.
•The decline of U.S. relative power, the rise of China, and the emergence of other regional powers challenge the notion of U.S. leadership.
• The U.S. approach to using military power for political dominance has hindered the pursuit of real political solutions.
•The corporate media's deliberate erasure of historical context, background, and memory fuels division and polarization.
•Influence of military contractors like Lockheed, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, General Dynamics, and Raytheon plays a significant role in U.S. foreign policy decisions.
•The fight with the Speaker of the House is a fight over who will support proper military funding for Ukraine and Israel, showing the handiwork of the military-industrial complex, arms contractors, and their lobbyists.
•A shift towards multilateral diplomacy under international law is essential for global peace and cooperation.

Senator JD Vance calls out President Biden for using the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel as a basis to request an additional $60 billion in military aid for Ukraine:
"Why is Joe Biden going on national television and selling people on a Ukrainian escalation when Joe Biden is talking about the terrible tragedy in Israel?
Whatever you view on Ukraine, it is a separate country and a separate problem. I think what the President did is completely disgraceful.
If he wants to sell the American people on $60 billion more to Ukraine, he shouldn't use dead Israeli children to do it. It was disgusting."

🚨NEW - Kash Patel highlights the unbelievable connections between three senior Biden intelligence officials—Robert Malley, Ariane Tabatabai, and Maher Bitar—and their associations with Hamas and Iran.
On June 29, 2023, Robert Malley was placed on unpaid leave from his role as Joe Biden's special envoy to Iran, and his security clearance was suspended due to an ongoing investigation into the potential mishandling of classified materials.
On September 29, 2023, Semafor reported that Malley was involved in funding, supporting, and directing an Iranian intelligence operation to influence the United States and allied governments, as revealed by a collection of Iranian government emails.
These emails suggested that Malley facilitated the placement of an Iranian agent of influence named Ariane Tabatabai in sensitive positions within the U.S. government, initially at the State Department and later at the Pentagon, where she has been serving as Chief of Staff for the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations.
On October 16, 2023, Revolver News reported that Maher Bitar, who is Senior Director for Intelligence Programs on Joe Biden’s National Security Council, was also an executive director of the “Students for Justice in Palestine” group that reportedly responded to the recent Hamas terror attack on Israel by organizing a “Day of Resistance” in support of Hamas’ “historic win” against Israel.
Bitar was photographed wearing a black and white “keffiyeh,” a symbol of Palestinian nationalism, and standing in front of a sign that reads, “Divest from Israel Apartheid.”
Kash Patel has pointed out that Maher Bitar plays a significant role in determining intelligence prioritization for President Biden, even though there is a photo of him wearing Palestinian attire, calling for the economic and political boycott of Israel.
Robert Malley, who recently had his security clearance suspended by the FBI, installed Ariane Tabatabai at the Department of Defense as the Assistant Chief of Staff for the Special Operations Office.
Do you know what she did in 2014?
"She emailed Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and asked for permission as a U.S. citizen to take a trip on behalf of the US government. This individual is still employed at the DOD."
Unbelievable.

Professor John Mearsheimer on the Biden administration pulling the plug on Ukraine's long-term funding after pushing Ukraine into a war and a failed counteroffensive that resulted in significant Ukrainian casualties:
"Admiral Kirby's comments that we won't continue funding Ukraine for the long term means they're finished. As everybody understands, if we pull the plug on the Ukrainians, they're doomed. They don't have the weaponry, they don't have the financial resources to continue this fight, and the Russians will roll over them.
President Biden and others have argued that we're behind the Ukrainians until the end, we're not going to bail on them. Well, we're bailing on them now. And it's hard for me to see, especially in light of the failed counter-offensive, how the Ukrainians don't collapse.
It actually kind of turns your stomach to see this. As I've argued from the beginning, and I know you agree with me, we've led the Ukrainians down the primrose path. Yes, it's totally horrible. I mean, we push this country into this war, we're principally responsible for it because of our efforts to make Ukraine a Western Bulwark on Russia's borders.
And we encouraged the counter-offensive. We forced them to attack week after week when they suffered enormous casualties. And now, when they're in deep trouble, we're pulling the plug on them. It's just It turns your stomach, it's really horrible."

@VivekGRamaswamy: "We need to understand what the heck went wrong with both U.S. and Israeli intelligence, as well as Israeli defense... But my number one focus is on one hand. We have to support Israel in the decisions that Israel makes to defend itself.
They have a right to national self-existence, and what happened there was wrong, barbaric, and medieval by Hamas. On the other hand, I'm the only Republican saying this.
This is also our moment to be cool-headed, not emotional, but rational in our response, to make sure that we don't inadvertently enter a US-involved broader regional conflict in the Middle East that does not advance American interests...
It will be Israel's decision to make, and we should support whatever decision they make. I will tell you this though, now is the moment to remember that we have made some of our own most disastrous decisions in the wake of tragedies, including after 9/11. Look at the $3 trillion wasted in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Thousands upon thousands of American lives sacrificed to what end? The Taliban is still in charge of Afghanistan 20 years later. A hostile anti-American regime in Iraq vulnerable to Iranian incursion today."

WEST: "The words were Israel's policies of war crimes and collective punishment against Palestinians in context, and Hamas must take responsibility for killing innocent people... 545 Palestinian children died in August 2004. Not one American said a word."
DERSHOWITZ: "I complained when Palestinian children were killed, but I explained why they were killed. Here is a leader of Hamas. 'For the Palestinian people, death has become an industry. The elderly excel at this, and so do the children. This is why we have formed human shields of women and children.' Hamas is the one responsible for the killing of Palestinian children."
WEST: "I have the same outrage when Palestinian babies are killed as when Israeli babies are killed. I want you to have the same indignation when Palestinians are killed."
DERSHOWITZ: "You're running for President.. What would you do if terrorists were firing at American children in America and the terrorists were hiding behind Palestinian children?"
WEST: "First, truth and morality tend to be two casualties in war. I would want to tell the American people the truth. I will tell them what the context is and how we found ourselves in this situation. I would not jump to a military invasion and a genocidal attack on Gaza.. Where do they go?"
DERSHOWITZ: "The UN has places in Gaza. They go to Egypt. The Israelis have said to get out of Gaza City. Go to Rafah. Go to Khan Yunis. And you know what Hamas is saying. Don't go."
WEST: "I'm not here to defend Hamas. Don't you ever lie on me like that, brother... If the Israeli Defense Force is killing children, are they barbaric too?"
DERSHOWITZ: "Never in history have they ever targeted a child deliberately."
WEST: "They've never ever targeted a child? Brother, you've got to get off the crack pipe."
