the words used to express these plans sound like the braggings of a psychopath in a video game. gushing over the Crusades, the horridly violent period in European history spanning from 1095 until the 16th century? Lord help us! the military looking for 'domestic terrorists', where-o-where can they be? the winos, psychos and homeless in all major cities, here comes the cavalry! the abuse of power is staggering, but it won't work. brace yourselves.

Trumpty Dumpty and Pig Hogsbreath have absolutely proven beyond any shadow of doubt that they are violent psychopathic lunatics.

Hogsbreath’s message to several hundred gathered US Generals was that US troops must not hesitate to commit extreme acts of violence in any US wars of choice, completely disregarding “woke” ideas such as

– International Law (ie ignore the Geneva convention)

– Historically and internationally accepted rules of engagement.

– Due process (ie no need for any evidence the other party is involved in illegal or hostile activity)

Just kill, kill, kill any and all unidentified moving targets arbitrarily, irrespective of any justification or consequences.

That is the Piggy way towards “peace”.

Napoleon the pig would be so proud.

Such violence applies equally to US citizens protesting peacefully at home, fodder to be used as “training grounds” for the US military.

Such is the language of Mafia gangsterism and thuggery. Was there any more blatant admission that the USA is a criminal rogue state that has completely abandoned any pretence of decency or sanity?

Their Quantico meeting was a prelude to impending mass firings of US Generals in a cull, leaving behind only the most rabid insane end-times fundamentalist Christian Zionists remaining, who are unquestioningly and unthinkingly loyal to the psychopathic lunatics’ whims.

A great recipe for nuclear Armageddon.

Truly patriotic US military officers must now plan a coup to get rid of the psychopathic lunatics, otherwise we are all done for and face human extinction.

Col Larry Wilkerson, Col Doug Macgregor, Col Tony Aguilar, Maj Scott Ritter, Col William Astore, Col Dan Davis, how about it?

Thanks for telling it like it is. US has degenerated under the control of the likes of Hegseth/Trump/Netanyahu and is dominated by homicidal narcissists. Project 2025 is a Christian nationalist plan to entrench private capitalist and church control over any existing democratically owned resources or services. Project 2025 is not Democracy. It's a rerun of the Inquisition when the church in Europe imposed a cruel rule from 1500s to 1800s. Maga is dominated by delusions of grandeur and little social empathy.

And wars ... Iran has world 2nd largest oil reserves/2nd largest natural gas. Russia has 8th largest oil/1st gas. Iraq 3rd oil/12th gas. Venezuela 1st oil/9th gas. Lebanon has marine gas on the Israel/Lebanon border. Fossil fuel wars. Trump is owned by the fossil fuel lobby.

The “degeneration" started and has been ongoing, decades before trump became POTUS. Project’s 2025 and Esther are symptomatic of this degeneration.

Illegal invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as the NATO bombing of Libya, are examples of the abuse of militarism, to maintain a hegemonic facade of might and power. The US has an insatiable desire, to control the supplies of fossil fuels, despite the inevitable increase, in the world's use of renewable energy. US policies are short sighted and indicate desperation, within the corridors of power.

True! I'm pretty convinced that the grifters always see opportunity to follow a revolution and try to take over the new paradigm by any means necessary. If there is an exodus, those scoundrels from dynasties of this pillage come too. Europe was pretty busy trying to claim the Americas. The Monroe Doctrine didn't help!.

I am concerned about losing separation of church and state. Extremism in organized and orthodox religion at the top runs rampant - it's how they keep the masses obedient, afraid, and controlled. No one religion should be a dictatorship over a people. I will say no more about that and I'm not knocking Christianity, but the huge evangelical churches popping up worldwide are cause for concern - particularly in Latin America. They are worse than the Roman Church. There is big money behind them and if feels like here we go again with religious oppression and persecution. I know Christians have been persecuted throughout history as well as so many others. Again, the Monroe Doctrine seems to be the blueprint for 'the USA 'claiming' what once belonged to Mexico and other countries here in the States on down to the tip of S. America. The Spanish and Dutch had their parts. Now, it's globalists and everything on internet and trying to make us all follow the same crappy rules so that the globalist elite get all the spoils. They'll use any means, and fundamental religion works well for them.

No more trying to deny it--the US is just a bunch of war criminals. No more of this stupid "freedom and democracy" excuse given whenever we want to steal oil and resources from another country, right? We can just flat out say, "We're war criminals and we're going to steal your stuff!" Short and to the point.

The biggest problem we have is not the orders that are given to the people in uniform but rather that we know FOR A FACT they will ALWAYS OBEY ANY ORDER they are given!

That's the crux of the issue and the primary reason for our current predicament.

This MUST be taken into account when considering any ways out of this predicament.

America was founded on an British imperialist war with the indigenous population of that continent. Millions of indigenous people were murdered by "settlers" recruited with promises of wealth and freedom, with no thought that this was attempted genocide and land theft on a massive scale. Settlers reassured that the Christian god was on their side. Another inconvenient truth that Project 2025 would like to bury by retelling true history.

"In his remarks, Hegseth was essentially admitting that the US military does not care about international humanitarian law."

I hate to break to you, but he's simply stating something most people of the world already knew about US Imperialism. Also, you may want to move your focus from this individual to the larger picture. Pete and Trump didn't just make the US military Imperialist. It has been that arguably since the early 1900s. These two reactionaries are just saying it out loud and abandoning the illusion of "humanitarian Imperialism" that was peddled by the genocidal, "good cop" Dems. Getting shocked about this is almost admitting you've been blind to the crimes of US Imperialism over your lifetime.

you're making this a party partisan thing too, in your comment. The truth is, partisasnship is a strategy of mega billionaire overlords to keep us fighting about 'left vs right' issues when the bottom line is rapacious corruption, grift, greed - with psychoathy at its core. If you really followed the money you would know this.

I hesitate to even comment when one declares there is no material basis for the political categories of left and right. While that may be true, with regard to official American politics (two hard right Imperialist parties), there is a much larger material reality beyond this ridiculous political show. Briefly a Marxist party can safely be considered far left, as we all know, while the Democrats and Republicans are without question far right parties. One acts in the interest of the majority of society (wage slaves) while the other acts on behalf of billionaire Zio Oligarchs. You see that, chum? Left and Right.

But, just for fun, what party pray tell am I advocating for by pointing out the undeniable fact that the Democrats are a Imperialist, genocidal party?

I never said you were advocating for any party or that there is no material basis for partisanship. I should have thought to word things better. That was my opinion - not telling you what to think or who/what to follow. I think we both agree in principle that imperialism has been going on for a long time on both sides. What I said, not very well, is that IMO both parties are playing the same game with different strategies but it's all pretty much grift and greed.

I don't know how old you are. I lived through McCarthyism, and that movement also characterized itself as the 'good guys; with the commie scare and smearing, even murdering, of people who never were a threat and valued human rights. I see this happening again, only much worse with the militarization and orders to attack and kill people in our own cities - as if killing a bunch of democrats or liberals is the answer. Trump and Co are blatant because of who is backing, funding, and sponsoring them; the money and power is behind them and those forces WANT this.

I have talked with many people on both 'sides' and people have valid concerns and points - even if many of them are conditioned, as most of us are on some level, to believe propaganda, truth-twisting, and outright lies from on-high.

Though there are sincere individuals representing in government. I don't see how you can call only one party imperialist genocidal and not the other mainstream corporate party too. It's the same coin, two different appearing sides.

If I gave the impression that I didn't agree with your point, I do. It's just that all this deflection does us no good. What we need is to unite voluntarily and see the lies for what they are. I've voted my whole adult life - I was conditioned to believe that it mattered. On a local level it still does. I vote for the individual who I think will best represent the values I have. everyone is entitled to do that, though more and more I find the whole thing meaningless theater.

I think our only hope is to build something from the bottom up and not expect any trickle down from the top tier. Everyone will disagree on what that is; same old same.

Problem here is if there are any of them operating decently or weighing in on colleagues to do so, they are now being defined as outlaws to be reported for disloyalty.

So the problem is now multiplied.

Good question. What do you think? Are any of them "operating decently"? You can probably guess my perspective.

It's a very bad institution but not operating at 100% war crimes. Now it will be though. Because there will be no pushback from anyone.

Which 'they' are we referring to? There are likely dissenting voices on both sides. covidCon showed us what was planned for us. I think some of 'them' on both 'sides' are operating decently but things are so extremely polarized that they will likely be rounded up by the Thought Police on both 'sides.'

but the orders come from way above the white house. The Owners simply employ psychopaths to do their dirty work and these are the psychopaths of the day. This has been planned for a long, long time and history repeats itself because of ownership of everything at the very top level.

"................Yet, American soldiers can be ordered to kill innocent members of other societies, but not of their own society (at least not in the same way). This lays bare a simple and essential distinction: that members of other societies are less human in the eyes of American law, their lives less valuable.

No easy way to square this circle."
