🚨RED ALERT: Trump Has Been Set Up By The NeoCons!!!

The Alex Jones Show Mar 26, 2026

Opening comments from Alex Jones in my cover video:

Pentagon Sources Confirm Trump Is Preparing To Launch Ground Invasion Against Iran Despite Top Experts Warning Of Disaster!

The briefings he’s getting being bubble wrapped is a two minute compilation of bombing footage, missile strike footage. And Trump equates how many things get blown up with victory. But anybody that studied war against a major country knows that’s just to get their military out of the way. You have to march in and get rid of the leadership to actually take down a serious power. You got to put boots on the ground. And that’s a whole nother ball of wax.

The U.S. military is so powerful, it’d be like us fighting Martians when it comes to air power. But you still got to come down here and get on the ground. And our superiority is not there then, even though we have some of the best military in the world, because our numbers are small compared to the Iranians with a million regular man army, and another million auxiliary, and they’re ready to die. And they’re smart. When I say smart, they’re competent. They’re the worst Muslims to fight. Okay?…

Osalations between peace talks and war continue between Iran and the U.S. Both sides claim the other is lying, and both sides change their stories daily. Smoke and mirrors continue to rule the day.

While this back and forth is being played out publicly, the U.S. is sending more troops to the Middle East in preparation for a ground war. This has set off a firestorm within the MAGA community…many feeling President Trump has betrayed them. Citing the numerous times he promised no more useless, prolonged wars.

Israel’s “Greater Israel Project” is adding fuel to the fire. Benjamin Netanyahu has said recently that he wants his war with Iran to expand into Armageddon to usher in the coming of the Messiah. That is a whole other controversial dispute between the Christian Zionist and Orthodox Christian beliefs. The most dangerous wars in history have been started over religious beliefs.

Both the Jews and the Muslims will fight to the death for their religious beliefs, and this war between Israel and Iran becomes more dangerous every day. Neither side is willing to compromise, and the U.S. has found itself embedded with Israel against Iran.

Many believe that President Trump has been misled by the neocons and the Israeli lobbyists over this war. Putting boots on the ground (as many as 5,000 or more) definitely changes the landscape. Iran claims it is preparing 1 million troops in case of a potential US invasion on its soil. Israel is believed to be calling up some 400,000 reservists.

The daily propaganda of “We have already won this war, and peace is at hand” is not sitting well with many Americans. If this is true, then why are we rushing so many thousands of troops and equipment to the Middle East to join the already 50,000 stationed in the region? No air campaign ever won a war. Boots and blood on the ground decide the outcome.

U.S. Forces in the Middle East: Separating Fact from Iranian Propaganda

Operation True Promise

Greg Reese Mar 24, 2026

On average, the United States has been starting wars with other nations once every ten years since its founding. And during this same time, Iran hasn’t started any. Foreign interest in Iran during the modern era began in the early Nineteen-Hundreds with the Anglo-Persian Oil company. The British Crown became dependent upon Iranian oil, and the people of the Middle-East were subjected to a century of betrayals, strategic deception, and psychological operations. In 1921, Britain overthrew the Iranian government. During World War II, both Britain and the USSR invaded Iran to steal their oil. In 1953, Britain and the USA overthrew the Iranian government.

After 9/11 was carried out by the USA and Israel, Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda were blamed, assets of Western intelligence agencies, and the foreign Zionists then began a campaign of mass murder in the region that has so far amassed a death count in the millions. And when Zionist forces occupied Iraq, the Iranians knew they were coming for them, and so they prepared accordingly.

Less than 48 hours before the United States and Israel attacked Iran on February 28th, the United States had just concluded their most productive round of nuclear negotiations in years, and had agreed to meet again in four days. The independent mediator announced that a peace deal was within reach and said Iran had agreed it would never have nuclear material to create a bomb. Iran had offered full IAEA access to its nuclear sites. Iran offered to down-blend its highly enriched uranium stockpiles to the lowest possible level and convert them into irreversible fuel. Technical talks were scheduled for the following Monday in Vienna. And a fourth round of political negotiations was scheduled within the week. But forty-eight hours later, Trump and Israel launched an attack on Iran. The initial strikes included the nation’s leader, and a hundred and seventy-eight Iranian school girls, who were murdered by the US with a double strike of Tomahawk missiles.

The so-called, Army, Navy, and Air-Force that Trump brags about completely destroying, were decoys meant to help waste US/Israeli munitions. Iran has clearly been paying attention to the Zionist protocols of war, and have developed a deterrent that secures their sovereignty. The real military is underground.

A massive city of tunnels has been built beneath the entire country, with a stockpile of missiles to rain down daily for years. This underground city is well beyond the depth for the US and Israel’s bunker busters, and it seems to have an endless amount of launch sites throughout the entire nation.

Their weapons systems are all custom made to defeat the Zionist war machine. Thousands of drones launched in swarms to overwhelm defense systems. Missiles with no fins upon reentry, making it harder for radar to get a lock. Missiles that steer away from predicted flight paths to evade interceptors. Missiles that deploy several other warheads that evade interceptors. And hypersonic missiles fast enough to evade modern air defense systems. Iran is having so much success that on March 21st they launched a single strike against Israel’s nuclear facilities at Dimona and hit the target in an impressive show of force that sent a clear message; Iran can now target Israel’s nukes at will.

One of the most striking things about Iran’s campaign has been their transparency. They have been announcing their actions and targets and following through to their word, which stands out in stark contrast to the US/Israeli method of war; deception and terror.

Iran’s real Navy is underground as well, and designed specifically for this war. They have thousands of Unmanned Surface Vehicles that operate as swarms and are equipped to take down any ship in the Gulf no matter how massive. After decades of being exploited and playing nice, Iran has effectively Nationalized the Straight of Hormuz, which has always been their home.

Iran has been planning this since 2003, they have enough munitions for years and are continuing to produce more underground. The US and Israel on the other hand, are already running out. Iran has made it clear, they will not submit to the Zionist threat, and they will tank the world economy if they need to, which is well within their ability at any moment right now.

Badlands Brief

Mar 26, 2026

Peace Talks Between US and Iran Difficult, Not Dead

Efforts to negotiate an end to the conflict between the United States and Iran remain active but unresolved, with both sides signaling that diplomacy is difficult yet not fully abandoned. Indirect channels – primarily through intermediaries such as Pakistan, along with other regional go-betweens – continue to carry proposals between Washington and Tehran, including a US-backed ceasefire framework that mediators said had been relayed to Iran and publicly detailed on March 25.

Iran has rejected at least one recent US-backed proposal and put forward a counter-proposal and broad conditions for ending the conflict, underscoring the wide gap between the two sides. Public statements remain inconsistent: US officials, including President Donald Trump, have pointed to “productive conversations,” while Iranian officials have repeatedly denied direct negotiations or questioned their value.

Earlier in March, Iranian officials, including Tehran’s envoy to the United Nations, said Iran had not initiated talks and voiced skepticism about diplomacy while military strikes continued.

The current standoff follows earlier nuclear and de-escalation talks that ended without a deal in late February, after showing limited progress, before being overtaken by US and Israeli military action against Iran. That shift from negotiation to open conflict disrupted formal diplomacy but did not eliminate back-channel engagement.

GhostofBasedPatrickHenry: President Trump and Iran continue to play games regarding the true nature of this war, as the rest of the world struggles to grasp what is actually happening.

A few days ago, President Trump said that the Iranians gave him a gift that signaled to him that a deal is possible.

Kent, Vance and Rubio: a theory on why Trump called a ceasefire

Matt Bracken Mar 23, 2026

I have a different idea about why Trump reversed course (again) and unilaterally called a cease-fire, before his apocalyptic 48-hour deadline expired. Most ascribe this change to market manipulation, and that’s probably part of his reasoning, but I think there is something much larger at play.

Susie Wiles, an ardent Christian Zionist, is still serving as Trump’s gatekeeper. Joe Kent was excluded from the decision-making process that led to our joint Israeli-American sneak attack assassination bombing raids on 28 Feb. He would have counseled Trump not to make this catastrophic move.

I’m pretty sure Tulsi Gabbard has also been locked out by Wiles. Meanwhile, neocon war hawks like Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz, and, of course, Bibi Netanyahu, have unlimited access to POTUS Trump. Ted Cruz said he spent all day of 27 Feb with Trump, advising him to go to war against Iran, using the negotiations as a ploy. Trump has even laughingly referred to Pearl Harbor, bragging about the surprise attack.

But even Susie Wiles can’t keep the V.P. and the Secretary of State from seeing Trump in person. I believe his insane 48-hour deadline, to essentially see the entire Middle East gas, oil, petrochemical, electrical generation and water desalinization infrastructure destroyed in the war escalation, has caused Vance and/or Rubio to step in forcefully.

Vance, as a former Marine, must be horrified by Graham’s excited call for another Iwo Jima, (26,000 casualties, 7,000 KIA). Rubio must be taking angry calls from world leaders, warning against the catastrophe which will unfold if the Middle East is wrecked. Infrastructure that took 50 years and a trillion dollars to build cannot be rebuilt before the global economy is destroyed and mass starvation ensues. If this infrastructure is wrecked, millions will die of immediate dehydration. And it won’t matter if the Strait of Hormuz is reopened, as there will be nothing to ship out.

And America will be blamed, with Israel, for starting the war that triggered this unprecedented human calamity.

I believe that Vance or Rubio, or both, have pushed past Susie Wiles to tell Trump to call off his insane 48-hour countdown to Armageddon, or they will resign, and tell the world why. A resignation by Vance or Rubio would make the Joe Kent resignation seem like a tiny hiccup. That’s why I believe Trump invented his bogus “Iranian negotiations” story, to call off his 48-hour countdown.

Troops Being Dragged Into Iran, How It Will Cripple the US & the Real Goal of Israel’s Violence

Tucker Carlson Mar 25, 2026

It’s worth remembering that ground troops are often followed by tyranny in the country that sends them.

James (Jim) Webb is a 3rd generation Marine who, following his service, has worked in policy, politics, and journalism. In 2005, he dropped out of college to enlist in the Marine Corps Infantry and fought in the “Battle of Ramadi” in 2006-2007.

Following the completion of his degree, Jim worked on Capitol Hill for US Sen. Rand Paul, where he was assigned to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Later, he worked at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and as a Senior Policy Advisor for then Presidential Candidate RFK, jr. James has also worked as a journalist for multiple outlets, including embedding with US troops across Afghanistan.

Joe Kent - The Real Reason He's Sounding the Alarm on Israel and Iran | SRS #291

Shawn Ryan Show Mar 26, 2026

Joe Kent is a retired U.S. Army Special Forces officer, former CIA paramilitary officer, and until recently served as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, stepping down from the post in March 2026 following a principled disagreement over U.S. policy in the Iran war.

An Oregon native and graduate of Norwich University in Strategic Defense Analysis, Kent served in the U.S. Army for 20 years, completing 11 combat deployments across the Middle East and other high-threat regions. His military career included service with the 75th Ranger Regiment, Army Special Forces, and U.S. Army Special Operations Command, earning numerous commendations, including six bronze stars. After retiring from the Army in 2018, he served as a paramilitary officer in the CIA’s Special Activities Center.

Kent brought decades of frontline counterterrorism experience to the role, shaped in part by personal sacrifice: in 2019, his wife, Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer Shannon Kent, was killed in a suicide bombing while serving in Syria.
