Did the US military turn a blind eye to recruiting neo-Nazis?

 

"My commanders liked the fact I was a Nazi. They saw it as making me a better warrior."

Matt Kennard is a British investigative journalist who co-founded Declassified UK, and is also the author of Irregular Army. It’s a book that uncovers how the US military, desperate to fill its ranks during the War on Terror, began looking the other way on things that would once have disqualified soldiers from serving, such as neo-Nazi tattoos, gang affiliations, and mental illness.

In this conversation on Real Talk, Kennard speaks with Mohamed Hashem about the openly neo-Nazi veterans he met and interviewed, the moral waiver programme that opened the door to convicted felons, and the Rumsfeld Doctrine that was the catalyst.

Trump's Hormuz Tantrum Unleashes Threat of Mass Starvation

 

Over the past 30 hours, the United States escalated the conflict in its war against Iran, when U.S. President Donald Trump on May 2 declared that U.S. “Project Freedom” would begin today, for the U.S. military to control transit through the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. CentCom statement declared that the U.S. Navy will provide “guidance” for ships’ passage, and oppose Iranian interference with force. CentCom reported U. S. forces include “guided-missile destroyers, over 100 land and sea-based aircraft, multi-domain unmanned platforms, and 15,000 service members.” There may be a Pentagon briefing on the situation Tuesday, May 5.

A statement from Iran was issued early on May 4 by Iranian Major General Ali Abdollahi, reaffirming the right of Iran to control its waters, and posting a map showing the line across the Persian Gulf above and below the Strait of Hormuz, inside which Iran declares its sovereignty to control transit.

As of this evening reports continue to come out, sometimes conflicting, of warning shots, damage to ships, and the U.S. claim to have sunk six small Iran boats. It is reported that officials from Iran and Oman will be conferring imminently, as the two littoral nations that have worked together for decades on safe navigation. Meantime, the U.A.E. is caught in the middle of the conflict. The UN has a navigation corridor scheme on standby, worked out by a multi-agency taskforce commissioned in mid-March, including the International Maritime Organization. Their goals include providing exodus for the 200 vessels and 20,000 seamen trapped for weeks in the blockade, and also expediting vital flows of commodities and humanitarian cargo.

However, the Trump Administration opposes the principle of international law of the United Nations. The U.S. and Israel continue unilateral action, not only in the Gulf region, but also Israel is striking Lebanon and Gaza hard. Today, Trump posted on social media that Iran will be “blown off the face of the Earth,” if it targets U.S. ships in the Strait. U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz announced he will prepare a UN Security Council resolution, along with the U.A.E., against Iran. Waltz last week called for other nations to join the U.S.-led “Maritime Freedom Construct.”

All the while, the worldwide economic shocks grow by the hour, given the shutdown of vital flows of oil, gas, naphtha, fertilizers, sulphur and other commodities through the Gulf. A grim warning of the life-and-death implications for food was given by Svein Tore Holsether, CEO of Yara International, the world’s biggest fertilizer company, based in Norway, who said April 30 that he foresees a scenario of a “global auction” of fertilizer coming into being, where fertilizer goes to the highest bidder and the poor lose out. Yara operates in 60 countries, and sells in dozens more; its fertilizer prices to farmers are up 80% since March.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche, Schiller Institute leader, used the analogy of “the noose tightening around the neck of humanity” to describe the consequences of allowing all this to continue. To further decisive action to stop the madness, this news service will sponsor its fourth international (online) roundtable this year, of experts conferring on the emergency situation, to mobilize forces to intervene. The date is tentatively set for Friday, May 15, to be conducted concurrently with the weekly International Peace Coalition. An invitation in multiple languages is forthcoming.

Provocations abound. Today a high-rise apartment building in Moscow was hit by Ukraine attack drones, with the obvious implication of targeting the person of President Vladimir Putin. Moreover, the strike took place only days before Russia’s May 9 observance of the 81st anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. The drone attack took place as the eighth summit of the European Political Community of some 48 nations, plus EU and NATO leaders, in Yerevan, Armenia discussed new multibillion-dollar funding for Kiev to keep the Ukraine proxy war against Russia going. This grouping was initiated by French President Emmanuel Macron and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

There are forces in motion for diplomacy and intervention to stop this warfare. One important focus this month is May 26, when China, rotating President of the UN Security Council for May, will hold a special UNSC open debate at the ministerial level on “Upholding the Purposes and Principles of the UN Charter and Strengthening the UN-Centered International System.” Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will chair the discussion, and more than the 15 member nations of the UNSC are likely to participate.

This is the direction to take, without delay. Zepp-LaRouche called on everyone to support this initiative for humanity. She warned today that we are in “a period of heightened military tension and danger. Something can go awfully wrong at any moment.”

The Dangerous Logic Of Modern Cyrus Theology

 

John explains how the modern King Cyrus argument turns political power into a spiritual mandate, connecting Isaiah 45, apocalyptic thinking, British Israelism, Christian Identity themes, and the New Apostolic Reformation. The discussion traces how claims about God using a political ruler can make human leaders appear beyond criticism, especially when movements frame national and global events as spiritual warfare.

The conversation also examines Gordon Lindsay, Christ for the Nations, William Branham, the Voice of Healing network, and the postwar healing revival as part of a broader historical pipeline into later dominion-focused teachings. By connecting older end-times frameworks with modern political theology, John shows how religious language can reshape how believers interpret power, conflict, government, and national destiny.

Trump Administration Unleashes Frontal Destabilization of Mexico's Government

 

On April 29, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton and Administrator of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Terrance C. Cole unsealed bombshell charges of drug trafficking against the sitting governor of Mexico’s state of Sinaloa Rubén Rocha Moya, along with nine other significant Mexican political figures and officials. Along with the indictment, the U.S. requested that those indicted be arrested for the purpose of extradition to the U.S. to face charges, Governor Rocha among them, and the “word” is out that more indictments of state governors are in the works.

Ten days before, a scandal broke out in Mexico when two CIA agents died in a car accident in the northern state of Chihuahua while returning with Mexican officials from a raid on clandestine methamphetamine labs. President Claudia Sheinbaum has emphatically rejected President Donald Trump’s repeated overtures pressing that U.S. military and police forces be given permission to operate in Mexico, purportedly to fight drugs; Sheinbaum has responded by asserting Mexico’s sovereignty and ability to combat drugs nationally. It turned out that the governor of Chihuahua, of the opposition PAN party, had secretly allowed the CIA to operate in that state, in direct violation of Mexico’s well-known strict laws against foreign citizens participating in law enforcement, public security, or military activities within Mexico.

Now Sheinbaum finds herself at the center of an orchestrated destabilization designed to either bring her totally to heel, or topple her government: If she refuses to extradite Rocha and continues to deny Americans permission to operate freely inside the country, she will be denounced for being allied to drug interests; if she folds and grants everything Trump is demanding, Mexico’s sovereignty is gone—along with control of its significant oil industry and other valuable raw materials.  (more...)
