This is how long I’ve been protesting war:

My first antiwar protest was 1991, a time when my fellow #GenX college comrades were being shipped off to fight in #Iraq.

President #Bush called it “a momentous year for this generation.”

We did not agree!

12 years later, on another cold February day, I once again went to the streets, voicing my opposition to his son’s war in Iraq:

I protested the war in #Afghanistan at a time when very few did.

Most Americans thought that one was “the good war.”

We kept the protests going, anyway… for 20 years!

I protested #Obama’s bombing of Libya in 2011: 🇱🇾

And Syria…

Now I’m in my 50’s, getting ready to @RageAgainstWar_ yet again.

Do you know how much it sucks having to spend more than half my life protesting the wars my country insists on starting?

I just want to live in #peace.

Don’t you?

I’m weary of protesting wars after 32 years.

John McAfee, 2016: “I have multiple teenage girlfriends who I pay to 💩 in my mouth.”

Libertarian Party: “cool, we want you to run for President!”

Scott Ritter, 2023: “I never touched an underage girl in my life.”

#Libertarians: “pedophile! Shut up!”
Maybe @RealScottRitter should seek the nomination of the @LPNational , just to eff with them, lol 😝
The stories about the late John McAfee’s wild sexual escapades may or may not have been true. He too was targeted (and eventually murdered, I believe) by the Deep State.

We gave John the benefit of the doubt, and should give Ritter the same courtesy.

If you are wondering why the @RageAgainstWar_ rally is under such intense attacks (from without and within), you need only look at #7 on our list of demands.

Pay close attention to that as you watch this @ChrisLynnHedges interview on the @KimIversenShow
Calling for the total abolishment of the CIA is noble (and needed!) but … expect the Agency to unleash hellfire against any person or organization calling for the end of their global mafia.

As sure as day follows night and night follows day…
The last president who tried to abolish the CIA got scattered to the four winds in Dallas. #JFK

Exactly 40 years before the U.S. blew up the #Nordstream pipelines, the CIA blew up another pipeline carrying natural gas from #Russia to #Europe.

This thread is about the Trans-Siberian pipeline sabotage of 1982 -- the largest non-nuclear explosion ever on Planet Earth.
Thomas Reed, senior US national security official, claims in his book “At The Abyss” that the U.S. allowed the USSR to steal pipeline control software from a Canadian company. This software included a Trojan Horse that caused a major explosion of the Trans-Siberian gas pipeline.
The Trojan ran during a pressure test on the pipeline but doubled the usual pressure, causing a tremendous explosion.

I definitely believe the U.S. blew up the #Nordstream pipelines, but I’m not taking Sy #Hersh’s reporting as gospel. Here’s why:

I still remember how easily taken in Hersh was by Lex Cusack and his forged #JFK papers (the source did 10 years in prison)! washingtonpost.com/archive/lifest…
To refresh your memory of that 1997 Sy Hersh fake #JFK papers shitshow, here’s the 60 Minutes interview with his source, the fraudster Lex Cusack.

Hersh declined to be interviewed.

Hersh admitted in the Washington Post interview that he “wanted the story to be true,” and it clouded his judgement.

That’s a dangerous trap for a journalist; it’s why Hersh failed to authenticate the documents.

Of course those dollar signs in his eyes also clouded his vision

The late Joseph Persico was a historian chosen by the Deep State’s deepest creeps to write their official histories.

In his 2002 book on #FDR, he tried to convince Americans that their most beloved president of the 20th Century was a liar.

You decide!

Persico wrote several volumes on FDR — each a demolition of his legacy — including that trash book on Franklin’s extramarital affairs.

Anything to destroy the man who American voters elected by large margins FOUR times, even when he was visibly dying. We loved him THAT much. ❤️
This historic newsreel of #FDR’s funeral will give you an idea of the immense grief Americans felt when Roosevelt died in April 1945.

That’s when the light went out.

Our country has never been able to unite behind any leader since like we did w/ FDR.
