“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.”—President Dwight D. Eisenhower (April 16, 1953)
Seventy years after President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned about the cost of a military-industrial complex, America is still stealing from its own people to fund a global empire.
In 2025 alone, the U.S. has launched airstrikes in Yemen (Operation Rough Rider), bombed Houthi-controlled ports and radar installations (killing scores of civilians), deployed greater numbers of troops and multiple aircraft carriers to the Middle East, and edged closer to direct war with Iran in support of Israel’s escalating conflict.
These are the major power cities around the world currently targeted by Israel with nuclear attacks should they face dire existential threats
No one trusts experts anymore. Why would they, after the mRNA failure, the lab leak coverup, the trans fiasco, the lies about Biden’s dementia, the opioid crisis… shall I go on?
Senator Ted Cruz appeared to slip up during an embarrassing new interview with Tucker Carlson by revealing the US is actively helping Israel carry out military strikes on Iran.
This is why war powers were assigned to Congress.
