Episode notes
Joe Kent Resigned Over Israel-Driven War Policy
- Joe Kent resigned over U.S. military involvement in a war he sees as driven by Israeli influence rather than American national interest.
- Max Blumenthal cites Kent's National Counterterrorism Center role, his combat background, and the 'clean break' origins linking Israel to regime-change targets like Syria and Iran.
Smear Campaigns Replace Policy Debate
- Critics responded by trying to label Kent's claims as anti-Semitic and to smear dissenting outlets like The Grayzone instead of addressing the substantive critique.
- Blumenthal says attacks target him, Tucker Carlson, and others to silence opposition to the war and intimidate dissent within the military and media.
South Pars Strike Fueled Regional Energy Shock
- Blumenthal attributes the South Pars gas field strike to an Israeli objective executed with U.S. support, stressing its impact on Iran's domestic energy supply.
- He links the attack to Iran's warning and to subsequent regional energy infrastructure strikes that raised global prices.
