Let the exodus begin.

"President Trump's director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, announced his immediate resignation Tuesday, citing the decision to begin a war against Iran when "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation."

Kent, nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate last year, posted his resignation letter on X Tuesday morning. He claimed the war was "manufactured" by Israel.

"I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran," Kent wrote in his resignation letter addressed to the president and posted to X. "Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby."

All these brain trusts on grok don't understand the definition of "imminent." Forty-seven years of trash talking the US is not an" imminent threat."

Iran has waged 47 years of aggression against America

Starting in the 1980s, the Islamic Republic and its proxies escalated to mass-casualty terrorism and state sanctioned violence.

One after another. The threats were imminent all along, judging by the record.

It's chronological.


Once therats are either carried out or stymied, they stop being imminent.

I hope that by removing the totalitarian theocratic regime's ability to cow their own people, the threats will diminish or stop.

I got a lot of shit for saying why I don't trust the Joe Kent trajectory and, why I was obviously put on the spot about it and could have been more articulate, I think the points I brought up are very reasonable.If the top counter-terror spook resigns to amplify rhetoric (even if it's mostly accurate) that the current administration defines as indicative of "domestic terrorism" AND that spook was previously also funded by Peter Thiel, the co-founder and chairman of the intelligence contractor working to establish domestic terror pre-crime in the US, I think it's fair to be skeptical of him. Trump previously considered making a pre-crime program using AI to flag the social media accounts of Americans who displayed "warning signs" of violence or "mental illness". It's main advocate was Jared Kushner. There have been many recent media efforts to equate criticism of Israel to "anti-semitism" and "anti-semitism" to mental illness. Most social media giants are owned or funded by people who lied about their ties to Epstein and also contract for (or are otherwise linked to) the US national security apparatus.That same apparatus has expanded infrastructure for the supposed "War on Domestic Terror" with the blessing of every administration since George W. Bush, it is bipartisan, and they didn't just build it for no reason - they intend to use it at some point.Also, the idea that there is a "civil war" in the White House, as proposed by people like Nick Fuentes, over the Iran War only helps JD Vance, who is also tied at the hip to Palantir's Peter Thiel. I took a lot of shit in the past for my stances on Covid, on Trump being a neocon, and on Epstein's intel ties, etc. etc. way before it was "popular" to do so but which turned out to be correct. I am not here to be popular or to tell you what you want to hear. I have been early on a lot of stories that other people now take credit for after the fact. I don't care if you like me and I don't care about getting credit, I care that some of you wake the fuck up and stop swallowing every single psyop they throw at you without thinking twice about it.
