The Peace President Goes to War

The Peace President Goes to War

The White House says that the trump administration has kidnapped the president of Venezuela and his wife and has brought them to the US where they will be put on trial for narco-terrorism. The narcotics charge is a cover for renewed looting of Venezuela’s national resources, just as Saddam Hussein’s alleged weapons of mass destruction and Assad’s alleged use of chemical weapons were excuses to justify American military aggression against Iraq and Syria in order to serve Israel’s agenda of a Greater Israel. President Trump had already told the world the real reason for his attack on Venezuela. Trump said was going to take back “our oil.”

“Our oil” is Venezuela’s oil. Venezuela began nationalizing it’s oil and other resources that were in American hands in the 1970s. Hugo Chavez completed the process during his term of office. The current president, illegally kidnapped in contemptuous violation of all international law, had nothing whatsoever to do with the nationalization of Venezuela’s national assets. Trump’s position that the United States is empowered to steal the property of other countries symbolizes the behavior of a war-mongering rogue government unworthy of the support of the American people.

Trump is proud of kidnapping a head of state and little doubt the American people will also be proud, seeing the act of a rogue criminal state as “making America great again.” Trump says that his government will run Venezuela until he has put the country into the hands of a dependable American puppet. Trump said that he wants “peace, liberty, and justice for the great people of Venezuela” and that “large US oil companies will go back into Venezuela” in order to stop Venezuela from stealing America’s oil.

Trump has added three more countries to his regime change list–Mexico, Colombia, and Cuba. Trump accused Colombian president Gustavo Petro of narco-terrorism and warned him “to watch his ass.”  Trump said that “something’s going to have to be done with Mexico,” and he suggested that regime change would help the people of the failing regime in Cuba. https://www.rt.com/news/630489-trump-warning-cuba-colombia-mexico/   Recently Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Security said that the era of American regime change was over. Clearly she was mistaken. There has now been regime change in Venezuela and the same fate awaits Iran.   https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-says-us-will-run-venezuela-until-transition-5965654?utm_source=rtnewsnoe&src_src=rtnewsnoe&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2026-01-03-3&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2026-01-03-3&utm_medium=email&utm_content=access0&est=P7DGYOWCbTCtrKfO1mq57vh9Ji40exrNsUs66oYEMA7e9B440Bi7%2FudF2A%3D%3D 

Not content with stealing Venezuela’s assets, Trump is also after Iran’s sovereignty. American money has poured into NGO’s in Iran and used to bribe street protests against the government as was done in Kiev when the elected Ukrainian government was overthrown and an American puppet installed. Trump has announced that the United States will intervene in Iran if violence is used against the hired protesters. Just as Washington arranged for shots to be fired in Kiev, Washington can arrange for shots to be fired in Tehran. This way Trump can overthrow Iran without it looking like he is doing it for Israel.

I have long thought that peace in the world would be greatly served by a mutual security agreement between Russia, China, and Iran. This combination of power and position would serve to dampen the aggression that emanates from Washington’s doctrine of American hegemony. But the three governments lacked vision, and now it seems Iran will be lost. 

The Iranian people are so stupid that they blame their own government, not the American sanctions, for their economic difficulties. Iran, with its oil wealth, could have had a gold-backed currency to protect the value of its purchasing power, but apparently lacked the vision to take the self-protective step. The Iranian government appears to be as indecisive, unprepared, and irresolute as the Russian one.

Washington has handed the narrative to its pressitute minions calling for American support for the Iranian protesters. The New York Post headline declares “Iran’s heroic protesters need to hear that America is on their side.”

The Internet site, Just the News, says “Obama failed to support Iran’s freedom protesters two decades ago, but Trump just rectified that.”  “We are locked and loaded and ready to go,” declared Trump. The BBC portrays Iranians yearning to be liberated by American intervention in their country.

And now we have this:

“Israeli military ordered to prepare for war on all fronts amid Iranian protests”

“The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been ordered to prepare for a possible simultaneous war against Iran, Lebanon, and the West Bank, according to Israeli Channel 12. One scenario reportedly includes an “explosive operation” against Tehran, which is currently facing widespread Israeli-backed cost-of-living protests.

“The preparations are part of a four-year long-term plan led by IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, the broadcaster revealed on Wednesday. On top of war readiness, they also reportedly include plans to develop capabilities to attack both satellites and ground targets from space.”

The Israeli news service could not state the fact any clearer. There is a four-year Washington-Israeli plan to conquer the remnants of the Muslim Middle East. Apparently, the alarm could not be raised because that would be anti-semitic. Thus, Israel has had a clear hand.

Russia’s protests are pointless as Russia never backs its words with action, and neither does China. If Iran falls, BRICS and the new Chinese Silk Road will lose credibility. It is clear that Washington has many means with which to perpetuate its hegemony.

Earlier this century, Washington tried to overthrow the Iranian government in the Green Revolution sponsored by American-financed NGO’s inside Iran. This attempt failed. Apparently the Iranian government did nothing to improve it’s internal security, or possibly the Iranian government wanted to prove how democratic it is by tolerating internal insurrection. Consequently, Iran is now faced with a larger and more dangerous attempt.

In August 1953, the first democratically elected government in Iran, led by Prime Minister Mohammed Mosaddegh was overthrown in a combined American-British regime change known as Operation Ajax in the US and Operation Boot in Britain. The overthrow of the first democratically elected government of Iran was motivated by the determination to regain control of Iran’s oil industry after the Iranian government nationalized the British-owned Anglo Iranian oil Company, the recipient of Iranian oil wealth. The overthrow was achieved by bribing Iranians to take to the streets in protest, thus demonstrating that the Iranians had no respect for their own democracy and for a few dollars willingly participated in its overthrow.

It seems that governments in countries where there is not a strong nationalist awareness are easily overthrown from outside simply by bribes and money. We have the case of the Ukrainian government, the case of the government in Georgia, which recently survived another attempt at color revolution. The United States can reach inside Venezuela and extract the country’s president and first lady, an unlikely feat without the cooperation of Venezuelans. The United States has overthrown Honduras governments on many occasions. Outside money was used to foment unrest in Hong Kong. As the United States progresses daily into becoming a Tower of Babel in which there is no common interest, the United States itself will be vulnerable if any other countries decide to play Washington’s game. Europe is also vulnerable. The European Union is unstable and is being held together with the propaganda of a Russian threat that requires unity to withstand.

Ethnic nationalism protects the sovereignty of nations.  However, the liberal-left have associated nationalism with military aggression and the Nazi regime in Germany and, thereby, with anti-semitism. Sovereignty also has been undermined by the push for one world globalism. In the United States, hegemony is not an expression of American nationalism. It is the tool of money interest and a servant of Greater Israel.

With the evidence in front of Putin’s eyes that Trump has kidnapped the president of a country and has set in motion the destabilization of another country, how can Putin possibly see any chance of a meaningful agreement with Trump? Is reality beyond the grasp of Putin and the Russian nation?
