1) The media and the Dems are going to be working overtime to gaslight you, scare you, drive you crazy.

Here's what you need to know:

Soleimani was the point man for Iran's worldwide terrorist operations.

Benghazi. The Iraqi insurgency. The Taliban. His hands are everywhere.

2) They will not tell you this. They will not count the number of US lives he's responsible for taking. They won't tell you the number of innocent civilians killed by people he trained, he paid, he equipped. They won't tell you of the thousands of Iranian dead massacred by him.

3) They will make you believe that this was an escalation, while blatantly ignoring the Iran-backed militias in Iraq that he organized firing rockets at the airport hours before his death.

They will tell you Trump acted without authorization while whitewashing Obama's drones.

4) They will make you afraid, that war is coming, that Trump is leading us into a disaster.

We have been at war with Iran since '79. The left and the GOPe simply chose to ignore it, chose to ignore that a force chanting 'Death to America' was in fact killing Americans and others

5) What they REALLY want you afraid of, what they will attempt to make you envision to scare the absolute piss out of you, is an invasion of Iran, the repeat of every disaster that has driven this country batshit insane since Korea.

6) This will not happen.

There will be no invasion, as much as the media wants to scare you into thinking there will be.

There will be no all out total war, as much as Iran crows that there will be.

They will bluster, they will bluff, they will scream.

7) But there's a secret. Its an open secret, the kind that no one wants to talk about, like Epstein fucking kids, Weinstein raping actresses and Cosby drugging women

It's the kind everyone knows but no one acknowledges, that if we were smart would shape foreign policy. We're not

8) You ready for that secret? Can you... handle... that secret?

....

I'll give you a hot second.

9) Iran, and by extension their proxy network of terrorists, only have the power and lethality we allow them to have.

10) That's it. That's the secret. We allow them to slip into our countries, we allow them to have these training camps in buttfuck nowhere deserts, we allow them to keep getting funding, we allow them to crow and screech and proclaim some moral high ground.

11) Europe bends over, spreads open their buttcheeks, and lets Iran fuck them up the ass, repeatedly and without lube.

And then thanks them for it and sends them more money

They allow this to happen. They allow Iran and their terror networks to blow up concerts full of children

12) We allow this because we are afraid. Afraid of being called racist. Afraid of being called islamophobic. Afraid of being the next target of the lynch mob, of international condemnation.

Fuck being afraid.

Fuck your fear.

13) The ideological war is not based around ethnicity or religion, and anyone who proclaims otherwise is your enemy, is trying to fool you.

The ideological war being waged is authoritarianism vs freedom. Domination and subjugation vs liberty.

14) The Dems blow Iran and their terrorists because the Dems are authoritarians, and Iran is their ideological ally in the global conflict.

The UN is authoritarian.

The EU is authoritarian.

Why do you think both organizations give Iran such clemency and leniency?

15) In calling Trump an authoritarian, the Dems let their masks slip, for they always accuse their opponents of what they are guilty of. Who is more authoritarian, the one who wishes to take guns away, or the ones who supports your right to keep them? This isn't that hard.

16) These authoritarians, they have the advantage. Their drive for power and control means that they have seized the power and control necessary to flood your mind, to alter your perceptions of reality.

To gaslight you.

To scare you.

This, too, has a secret behind it. Ready?

17) Their power and control is only as powerful as you as an individual let it be.

You are your own hard counter to authoritarians trying to control you, to hijack and steering your emotions.

You look at these authoritarians, and you tell them, Fuck Your Fear.

18) Do you know what they can do when you tell them to Fuck Your Fear, when you reject the gaslighting, when you realize that they hold no physical power over you, that the chains that they bind you with are all illusions?

Nothing.

They have no physical power. Only ephemeral.

19) So you go now, my bourbon lantern corps. You go, you find these people, you find those spreading gloom and fear and misery, you find those mourning Soleimani and proclaiming Trump is a dictator and that there will be war and disaster. You tell them Fuck Your Fear.

20) NOW SAY THE FUCKING PLEDGE.

IN DRUNKEST DAY, IN BLACKOUT NIGHT
NO DIPSHITS SHALL ESCAPE A FIGHT
LET COMMIES WHO WORSHIP DISEASE AND BLIGHT
BEWARE MY WRATH, THE BOURBON'S MIGHT
