For context, in the wake of 9/11, it took the George W. Bush admin 18 months to launch two regime change operations (AFG & IRQ)

This admin has now launched two regime change operations in the absence of any precipitating crisis in the past 1.5 months

Washington DC has always been a place full of hypocrites but this group has elevated hypocrisy to an art form

Two photos. The first shows Catturd tweeting: Name one US inspired regime change that hasn't ended in absolute disaster The next tweet shows him posting an AI illustration of Khamenei turned into a pile of dust. It says "I'm eliminated."

Two tweets. The first shows Laura Loomer promoting her show, where she says "A message has been sent that we are not interested in going back to the way politics were prior to Donald Trump, prior to 2016. We don't want warhawks. We don't want any more Neocons. We want American First. Period. End of discussion." The next tweet says: Today is a great day. Our military is amazing. @PeteHegseth is an absolute killer. Now you see why the Deep State worked so hard against him. It’s great having a Sec War who has Infidel literally tattooed on his body. He actually gets it. God bless him.

Two tweets. The first shows Will Chamberlain tweeting: The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars. If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position. The next tweet shows him posting "Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead." The tweet has a USA flag attached.

Two tweets. The first shows Gunther Eagleman tweeting: "Warmonger Lindsey Graham just rushed to Fox to advocate for U.S. involvement as soon as he could. He is also pushing for a US-backed regime change in Iran. I would like to renominate Graham to get a one-way ticket to the frontlines of every war he wants America involved in." There's an attached video of Graham speaking. The next shows Eagleman tweeting: UST IN! President Trump is HARD AT WORK all weekend after the massive strikes on Iran! He’s already on the phone with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte! Trump is a machine!" There's an attached video of a news segment about the war in Iran.

US Counterintelligence doesn't exist right now.

D/FBI's girlfriend has a PSD, though.

MaL - the site of an egregious CI crime - is swarmed with hostile SI, imagery, and HI of every kind and our LE just lets it happen.

Witikoff / Kushner / Gabbard / Lutnick?

Principals don't care in any way.

An excerpt from my article on @thehighside.bsky.social expanded in We Defy, about Green Light has been published in a 82nd airborne newsletter.

In Iran, air power alone will not reshape the regime. Since WWI, dozens of U.S., Israeli & allied air campaigns have tried to force political change — none installed friendly governments. None! They strengthen nationalism and intensify resistance.

the guy who wrote the literal book on this stuff is dunking on the admin:

The first US strikes on Tehran look to be TLAMs launched from USN ships in the Gulf.

The most “chickens coming home to roost“ moment in post-9/11 geopolitics imaginable.

Exclusive | Spy Agency Blocks Congress From Seeing Gabbard Whistleblower Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s office rejected Democratic efforts to see all the underlying material about a foreign conversation that discussed Jared Kushner.

News: The Trump administration told Congress it won’t share the classified underlying intelligence—a conversation two foreigners had about Jared Kushner—that led to a whistleblower complaint against U.S. spy chief Tulsi Gabbard, citing claims of executive privilege. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Zeroed Out: How JSOC’s Omega teams enabled the CIA’s Afghan militias The joint CIA/JSOC hunter-killer teams stalked Afghanistan for nearly twenty years

The JSOC teams that worked alongside the CTPTs’ CIA handlers, providing the link to air support, were called Omega or ANSOF teams, which @seandnaylor.bsky.social and @jackmurphyrgr.bsky.social of @thehighside.bsky.social have reported on in detail here:

what is even the point of this

U.S. Gathers the Most Air Power in the Mideast Since the 2003 Iraq Invasion President Trump is being briefed on military options for striking Iran, even as aides hold talks with its regime.

The U.S. is sending significant numbers of jet fighters and support aircraft to the Middle East, assembling the greatest amount of air power in the region since the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

The world's richest man is broadcasting eliminationist rhetoric about a tiny, vulnerable minority, and virtually no one is going to treat it as a scandal. It's just normal now.

Veterans slam new VA rule for determining disability ratings The new rule states that a disability level must be based on how well a veteran functions while on medication and not on the underlying impairment.

As expected, MAGA is coming after disability benefits for combat veterans.

Here's just one example of the rule's impact: Veterans taking anti-depressants for PTSD will be forced to stop taking the medication in order to retain their disability payments.

The Back Brief: 'Bodyguard of Lies' — A tragic tale of hubris and missed opportunities Documentary about America's war in Afghanistan is powerful, but skirts key issues.

@seandnaylor.bsky.social says the Afghan war documentary “Bodyguard of Lies” is a tragic tale of hubris and missed opportunities but underplays key issues like the role of Pakistan and some questionable decisions made by the Bush administration after 9/11: thehighside.substack.com/p/the-back-b...

Long story short, DOD/CIA can't kill the CFT because it is congressionally mandated so they are burying it in bureaucracy to make it go away. This weekend we'll have an extensive interview about this on @theteamhouse.bsky.social with @mpolymer1.bsky.social and "Adam" AKA Patient Zero.
