Armageddonists in the State Department and the Pentagon. “War of Religion”. President Trump Unleashes Threats against Iran. Endangers the Entire Planet?

Armored warriors in battle halted by a glowing cross of light at center

See the historic interview of Felicity Arbuthnot with Nobel Laureate Dr. Bernard Lown concerning the Armageddonists in the U.S. State Department. Are they still there? Or are they in the Pentagon?

Would the US Administration really endanger the Entire planet?

Cardiologist, Nobel laureate Bernard Lown dies at 99 ...

Here is a story told to me by Dr. Bernard Lown, one of co-founders of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) during the Reagan era….

I met Bernard Lown in Paris. We sat in dappled Spring sun, at a pavement breakfast café – fresh squeezed orange, coffee, croissants:

“I came back two days ago and went to talk (at the State Department) of the concerns in Moscow. Afterwards, a senior official – a household name (he declined to divulge) walked me to the exit. As we neared the exit, he put his arm round my shoulders:

‘Don’t worry, Professor Lown, if there is a nuclear war, we will be the first ones to rise up and meet Jesus in the sky.’” Lown, used to the vagaries of the unwell, responded:
 “Tell me, does anyone else in this building feel as you do?”

 Oh yes, many of us do.”   (emphasis added)

The swathe of “household names”, from the Reagan era, are now in the Bush Administration and the American Enterprise Institute. [And in the Trump Adminstration which has renamed its Defense Department]

The world should be very afraid – or should the physicians in white coats move in?

Should the above statement by Bernard Lown be taken seriously?

The Armageddonists are Back? Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon, Trump at the White House

Felicity Arthbuthnot interview with Dr. Bernard Loan in 2007 suggests that’s the Armageddon narrative was already a talking point behind closed doors at the US State Department during the GWB adminstration. .

“The former Fox News host has said that the U.S. was “founded as a Christian nation” and that it “remains a Christian nation in our DNA, if we keep it.” The Washington Post 

“One faith leader invited to preach to servicemembers has said women shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

“On Wednesday, while speaking at a Pentagon Prayer Service, from which Catholics were excluded, Hegseth called for “overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy,” asking that “wicked souls” be “delivered to the eternal damnation” in the fight against Iran, a Muslim-majority nation.  Some senior military commanders seem to have followed his lead.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation, a watchdog organization, said it had received more than 200 complaints from service members that military commanders had told troops it was all part of God’s plan that they be deployed to Iran.

Hegseth Says It ‘Takes Money to Kill the Bad Guys’:  A Modest $200 Billion

“Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth plans to request that Congress approve $200 billion to fund the war against Iran, on top of the Pentagon’s roughly $1 trillion budget for the current fiscal year”

Hegseth’s “Holy War” against Iran.  “Secular Warfare” is Out, “War of Religion” Is In 

According to  War Secretary Pete Hegseth,  the U.S.-Israel war with Iran is a Holy War. “A costly war of religion, namely a $200 Billion push in “defense Is it an attempt to trigger a War of Religion, requiring numerous dismissals of commanding officers.”

.

Hegseth held a Christian worship service at the Pentagon, where he prayed for “overwhelming violence of action” against Iran and for “every round to find its mark”.

 .

During Easter:Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth “held a Protestant-only Good Friday service at its in-house chapel, with no Catholic Mass scheduled for one of Christianity’s holiest days.In recent developments”

.

Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth faces mounting religious and legal scrutiny after praying publicly for ‘overwhelming violence’ in God’s name, prompting Pope Leo XIV to respond with a Palm Sunday address declaring that Jesus ‘rejects war’ and that God refuses the prayers of those who wage it.

Hegseth Fires Army Chief of Staff Randy George

There is chaos within the ranks of the US military including command structures.

Hegseth is ignorant regarding the complex modalities of  modern warfare. He is firing generals and commanding officers at the height of a  war with Iran.

The firing of senior military personnel has created divisions within the structures of military command, i.e. a refusal within the senior ranks of the Armed Forces to undertake an all out war with Iran, which would inevitably lead to countless deaths of American service men and women.

The level of incompetence under the leadership of Hegseth is beyond description.

On April 3, Pete Hegseth dismissed Army Chief of Staff General Randy George, along with two other high-ranking generals, Lieutenant General Sarah Clarkson and Major General Phillip Chambers.

On the same day, General David Hodne, who was set to head the Army Training and Transformation Command in 2025, and Major General William Green Jr., head of the Army Moral Support Command, were also dismissed.

The Atlantic magazine, citing sources close to the White House, reports that Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll may also be dismissed.

Some claims suggest the reason for these dismissals is the commanders’ refusal to follow orders!

Hegseth had previously dismissed more than a dozen high-ranking officers, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General CQ Brown, Navy Commander Admiral Lisa Franchetti, Air Force Vice Chairman General James Slife, and Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency Lieutenant General Jeffrey Kruse.

Welcome to the War Department. “War is Peace”. Hegseth’s “Hot War” to “Ensure Peace”

By Prof Michel Chossudovsky at Global Research

When war becomes peace, when concepts and realities are turned upside down, when fiction becomes truth and truth becomes fiction, 

When a global military agenda is heralded as a humanitarian endeavor, when the deliberate killing of children is upheld as “collateral damage,”  

When those who resist the US-NATO-led invasion of their homeland are categorized as “insurgents” or “terrorists,” 

When tactical nuclear weapons are heralded by the Pentagon as “harmless to the surrounding civilian population,”

When the Commander-in-Chief of the largest military force on planet earth is presented as a global peace-maker.”

Take action worldwide against Global Warfare and the derogation of fundamental human rights.

“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.” —William Shakespeare“The Tempest”, 1623

My response to Shakespeare: “Send the devils back to where they rightfully belong.”

Pete Hegseth’s “Hot War” to “Ensure Peace”

“Good morning and welcome to the War Department because the era of the Department of Defense is over.

….The origin dates to fourth century Rome and has been repeated ever since, including by our first commander in chief, George Washington, the first leader of the War Department. It captures a simple yet profound truth. To ensure peace, we must prepare for war.  Pete Hegseth

Nonsensical, Uninformed and Dangerous Statement

The United States of America is now officially on a  war path which –if applied– threatens the future of humanity. The agenda is to “ensure peace”.

Hegseth proposes an all out war at a global level as a mean to achieving peace. The use of nuclear weapons as well as “A.I. military decision-making” are an integral part of this global military agenda.  

“From this moment forward, the only mission of the newly restored Department of War is this: warfighting, preparing for war and preparing to win”,

Hegseth is also intent upon eliminating the peace movement. 

“That’s why pacifism is so naive and dangerous. It ignores human nature and it ignores human history”.

In the words of George W. Bush

“I just want you to know that,

when we talk about war,

we’re really talking about peace,”

Engaging in war as a means to achieving peace?  Since 9/11, propaganda statements abound:

  • The conduct of  “humanitarian wars”,
  • America’s “War on Terrorism”,
  • Going after Al Qaeda,
  • Going After Weapons of Mass Destruction
  • Responsibility to Protect (R2P),
  • The “Just War”

Continuity: From the Truman Doctrine To MAGA Trump

Successive Democratic and Republican administrations, from Harry Truman to George W. Bush, Barack Obama and now Donald Trump have been involved in carrying out a hegemonic blueprint for global domination, which the Pentagon  calls the “Long War”.

The Truman Doctrine formulated by George Kennan at the outset of the Cold War hinted

“to the importance of not only articulating a military solution but in maintaining the people of Asia in a state of poverty.”

What Kennan had also envsaged was a strategy of creating divisions as well as ensuring that Asian countries do not establish a relationship with the Soviet Union which would hinder US hegemonic interests.

According to Kennan:

“The day is not far off when we are going to have to deal in straight power concepts. The less we are then hampered by idealistic slogans, the better”

There are obvious similarities of Hegseth’s statement to both the Truman Doctrine as well as the Project of the New American century (PNAC) released in September 2000 a few months before the accession of George W. Bush to the White House.

The PNAC was a neo-conservative think tank linked to the Defense-Intelligence establishment, the Republican Party and the powerful Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) which plays a behind-the-scenes role in the formulation of US foreign policy.

The PNAC’s declared objective was:

“Fight and decisively win multiple, simultaneous theater wars”.

Those proposed wars were not to be conducted in a “consecutive” fashion. One after the other. They were to be conducted simultaneously in different regions of the world. “And we shall win those wars”.

What is distinct in Hegseth’s War Department is that the “War is Peace” doctrine is now official. The  fake “Peace Department” has been replaced by “the War Department”. War is presented as an instrument of peace. Diplomacy and international relations are defunct.

…” warfighting, preparing for war and preparing to win, unrelenting and uncompromising in that pursuit not because we want war, no one here wants war, but it’s because we love peace.

We love peace for our fellow citizens. They deserve peace, and they rightfully expect us to deliver.”

Global warfare is presented as a  means to achieving peace. This forcloses de facto peace negotiations and diplomatic dialogue.

Is this not tantamount to an “unofficial” declaration of  World War III? 

In the words of Hegseth quoting Trump “we have the strongest, most powerful, most lethal and most prepared military on the planet. That is true, full stop. Nobody can touch us. It’s not even close”.

The above statement is all the more dangerous inasmuch as Hegseth fails to comprehend  that the United States’ military arsenal exhibits significant weaknesses in comparison to that of the Russian Federation.

“…we owe our republic a military that will win any war we choose or any war that is thrust upon us.

Should our enemies choose foolishly to challenge us, they will be crushed by the violence, precision and ferocity of the War Department. In other words, to our enemies”,  FAFO”

America’s “enemies” will continue to challenge Washington’s hegemonic agenda through peaceful means.

US-NATO interference as well as Worldwide attempts to instrument “regime change” or color revolutions will continue to be challenged.

What is the meaning of FAFO within the US Armed Forces

FAFO is an acronym that stands for “F— Around and Find Out.”
