As I revise this piece one last time on May 22, the war against Iran, which was started on the eve of Purim by the two most hated nations on Earth, is on pause – sort of. Truth is always the first casualty of war, as the saying goes, so I’ve been trying to get the lowdown on this conflict from trustworthy sources, which does not include the senile Zionist clown General Jack Keane bloviating on Fox News, the “American” neocon platform that might as well be broadcasting from Tel Aviv. Fortunately, there’s at least one retired military leader with a firm grip on reality, shunned by the mainstream media for that very reason, but with a large online following, including commentators from Europe and Asia who have frequently interviewed him.
Douglas Macgregor was a career Army officer and decorated combat veteran. He retired in 2004 with the rank of colonel. He briefly held an important “defense” post during Trump’s first term, personally advising him on military matters. He has written five books and is fluent in German. I’ve watched about a dozen of his video presentations on YouTube, a total running time of eight hours or so, in which he answers questions and analyzes developments of Operation Epic Fury, or Epstein Fury as wags have called it. I’m impressed by the man. He is intelligent, articulate, and a straight shooter. He knows that this war is a disaster and that it began at the behest of Benjamin Netanyahu, who has Donald Trump, his entire administration, and Congress under his thumb, and he isn’t shy about asserting that fact. He believes that Trump is a lunatic who has dug himself a hole he can’t get out of, and will likely be removed from office, and he has an equally low opinion of Vance, Hegseth and company. He has expounded on stupidity and corruption at the highest levels, though that shouldn’t be news to anyone reading this.
Colonel Macgregor also knows a lot about the many aspects of war, not only from his own experience, but from his study and analysis of major battles going back to World War One. It’s not a subject that appeals to me, but let’s face it, we are an innately violent species, wars have always been with us, and it’s instructive to break war down into its many components. Never having “served,” I’ve learned a great deal from him about strategy, logistics, and modern weapons systems, and the mindsets that lead to victory or defeat. For example, Colonel Macgregor tells us that, even after failed air campaigns, particularly in Vietnam, the U.S. Air Force foolishly clings to the myth that enemies can be defeated simply by bombing the hell out of them. He speaks of the new 21st century methods of asymmetrical warfare, and Iran’s successful innovations in this field, particularly the use of cheap drones, while the U.S. military remains stuck in its old ways. He tells us that U.S. Navy leadership is toxic, and resented in the ranks. He appears to have a great deal of inside information, and I take him at his word.
The man is also a keen student of history. Until I listened to him, I had never heard of the Sykes-Picot agreement, which emerged from World War One on the ashes of the Ottoman Empire, splitting the Arabian peninsula into French and British protectorates, with an eye to vast oil wealth that would enrich corrupt sheiks when independence came later in the century. These new, largely artificial countries maintained close ties with the West, with the U.S. role ascending to a point where numerous military installations were built, all of them rightly perceived by Iran’s leaders as a looming threat. (When in December 2024 I wrote a lighthearted piece, “Those Quirky Arab Oil Sheikdoms,” based on my visits as an ordinary tourist to three of these countries, I didn’t take these military bases into account as I should have, nor did I go deeply enough into the criminal nature of these technocratic and degenerate regimes, particularly that of the United Arab Emirates, whose ruling dynasties match up perfectly with the Trump crime family. For several years the UAE has secretly maintained close ties with Israel. That’s why, of all the oil-producing nations in the region, they were hammered the hardest by Iran when the fighting began. Oman, one of the three countries I visited along with Qatar and the UAE, is only marginally a member of “the club.”)
For decades, Iran showed remarkable restraint while enduring harassment, provocations, sanctions and assassinations carried out by the gangsters of Tel Aviv and Washington. To name one forgotten atrocity, how many Americans know about the Iranian civilian jetliner that was shot out of the sky on July 3, 1988, probably in error, by the U.S. Navy warship Vincennes, killing all 290 on board? Finally, after the joint American-Israeli terrorist assault of February 28, the Iranians said enough is enough, and we know, approximately at least, what has happened since. Not only has Iran fought back valiantly against the evil empire and its Arab proxies, to the delight of much of the world (just read the comment sections of numerous alternative media websites), but it has made a mockery of U.S. naval power with its lumbering, obsolete aircraft carriers, and punctured the myth of Israeli invincibility, as in the failure of its vaunted Iron Dome. Moreover, many years of quiet preparation for a war that Iran’s leaders never wanted but deemed inevitable, have shown just how far ahead of the curve they were, so much so that they have wrenched global geopolitics in ways that the war plotting idiots never anticipated. No matter what happens in the Middle East, the world will never be the same. The colonel recognizes this, and says that the days of American bullying in the region are over. I sure hope he’s right about that. He has also said that the disruption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, if it persists, will cause great hardship throughout the world and lead to famine. Time will tell. A man steeped in history, he knows that Iran, unlike Israel and the Gulf sheikdoms, is a “civilizational state” that has been around for well over 2000 years, has weathered numerous convulsions, and that this fact has profound meaning for the Iranian people, underscoring their intense patriotism at this time, even if Trump and his flunkies don’t understand that.
I do have some criticisms of Macgregor. In the first Gulf war, he led a tank assault against Iraqi forces, and he also played a key role in the NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999. He has some explaining to do there. (Perhaps he discusses these operations in his books, none of which I’ve read.) He had a favorable opinion of Trump during the creature’s first term, which seems naive to me. He was a contributor to Fox News up until 2022. He has frequently weighed in on the Russia-Ukraine War, and in my view overestimates Russian capabilities and the character of Vladimir Putin. Apparently, he was Zionized for many years, and as recently as 2020 traveled to Israel to discuss the future of ground warfare with top generals there. In none of the videos I’ve watched did he ever mention any of the numerous acts of Israeli treachery and terror carried out against its benefactor, the most dastardly being the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. One gets the feeling that he would scoff at such a suggestion. On the other hand, it may well be that his views about Israel have evolved in the right direction. He makes no bones about the meddling of Jewish billionaires in American politics, he openly states that Netanyahu is calling all the shots in the current war, and he has no illusions about the Greater Israel Project – the drive to take over a huge chunk of Middle East real estate. He seems to understand the genocidal Jewish mentality, and has called out the cold-blooded mass murder of civilians in Gaza and in Lebanon. Yet he stops short of recommending that we cut off all financial and military aid to the enemy of all mankind. Why does he hold back? My guess is that it’s the Holocaust guilt trip, the perverse notion drilled into every American brain that we are in endless debt to Israel because of the so-called Holocaust. On one of the clips I listened to, it’s clear that he believes in the six million fairy tale and thinks that Adolf Hitler was a monster. At age 73, it’s unlikely that his mind will ever be jimmied open on that topic. If my assessment is correct, it shows once again what an incredibly powerful weapon Holocaust dogma is, how it causes permanent mental paralysis, and how it must be maintained at all costs by its top Jewish promoters.
All things considered, it’s great that Douglas Macgregor is speaking out. Henry Kissinger once famously said, “Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.” I have to admit, the old viper was right about that, but there are exceptions to the rule, and Macgregor is one. He’s no George Lincoln Rockwell, but it’s encouraging to know that not all the higher-ups in our woefully corrupt military establishment are brain-dead Zionist sycophants, though I’m sure most of them are, like the head of central command in the region, Admiral Brad Cooper, who said of this insane war, “There’s no better teammate than Israel.” Sure, Brad. Get a life.
It’s also encouraging that an ever-growing number of “respectable” influencers have overcome the fear of the Jews syndrome, and are speaking the truth about Jewish control of the U.S. government and endless Zionist terror in the Middle East. Tucker Carlson, who often interviewed Macgregor on Fox News before he was fired, is an example. I have never liked this man, but he has nearly ten million followers on social media and has been instrumental in moving the Overton window. The genie is out of the bottle and no one can stuff it back in. It’s a pleasure to see the most obnoxious Zionist Jews and their shabbos goy partners keeping a low profile, having run out of justifications for this war and our alliance with Israel, as Trump continues to embarrass his shrinking base of supporters by issuing crazed threats on an almost daily basis. Meanwhile, Iran’s sane and principled leaders have made it clear that from now on they will act on their own terms and never again negotiate with the Beast.
Colonel Macgregor has pointed out that the only winners in this war stand to be Russia and China, particularly the latter, and as strategic partners with Iran, there is a possibility that one or both will intervene militarily if conditions dictate. According to credible news reports, they already have quietly provided inside information and logistical support. I certainly don’t want to see any more young Americans die for Israel’s goals and Trump’s delusions, but I welcome these seismic shifts in global domination, in which Jewish financial control has long played a primary role. Personally, I’ve never been able to understand the ins and outs of the funny money system, though I do grasp bloodsucking Jewish intrigue with its global tentacles. Kevin Strom has written an incisive article about the deeply embedded petrodollar scam (see “The Petrodollar and Proof of War” on natvan.com, March 28), and the colonel has discussed the Chinese yuan replacing the dollar in international transactions as a result of this war. This is huge. I have no love for the Chinese, but unlike organized Jewry, I don’t see China as a mortal enemy of the White race, but rather as a straightforward racial and economic rival naturally asserting itself in a world where the White man has lost his way.
Again, truth in wartime is always elusive, but Macgregor believes that Iran holds all the cards in this war, and with their people rallying behind the government and willing to make any sacrifice, they cannot lose. He understands that for the Iranians, this is an existential war. Although he has not come right out and said it, I think he believes, as I do, that Iran’s leaders are as practical as they are honorable: ships of friendly nations have been allowed to transit through Iran’s territorial waters, but vessels that do business with the Beast may not pass, and if they try, they will be sunk. The rules are clear to everyone. I would even say that millions of Americans – the segment capable of thinking – recognize that this is fair enough. I’m sure that many, down deep, admire the resilience that the Iranians have shown, and believe that Iran is a more moral nation than their own. They would be right about that, and having visited the country in 2016, I would say far superior culturally as well.
Let us remember that withdrawing our troops from the Middle East was one of Trump’s major promises in his 2024 election bid. Americans are sick of these forever wars, even if most of them are clueless about the hidden Jewish hand behind all of them. As bad as things are now (and from what I gather, the chain supply problems, particularly affecting petroleum products and fertilizer, have hit hard around the world), they will become much worse if Trump restarts this war, which the colonel thinks he will. And if that does happen, Macgregor believes that governments will be toppled throughout Europe.
The other nation to take a beating is Israel. For nearly eighty years, the top criminals of that invasive cancer laughed off the countless condemnations, protests, UN resolutions, flag burnings and whatnot, directed against their savagery. Give them credit – unlike their detractors, they have always understood that the only language that really matters in this world is the language of force. Well, Iran spoke, and the laughing stopped when hundreds of Shahed missiles rained down on targets inside the country, far from the stolen border zones. The rogue nation finally got a taste of its own Gaza medicine, and there was nothing they could do to stop it. What an inspiration to people around the world, especially in the Middle East! Since news of casualties and property damage is censored by the Israeli military, few outsiders know the actual extent of the destruction, but reading between the lines in the English language Israeli press, it’s clear that many citizens were pretty shaken up. Who knows, maybe thousands were killed, not the 35 reported. On top of that, the strain of combat has taken its toll on many IDF soldiers. There have been many suicides, internal dissension over exemptions and long deployments, and an epidemic of mental problems affecting the civilian population, though that comes naturally to most Jews in the best of times. The good news is that the country might not be around ten or twenty years from now. The bad news is that many Israelis realize this and have left, establishing new parasite colonies across Europe.
I don’t think Douglas Macgregor would approve of my tropes even though he definitely knows, on some level, that America, and the world, has a serious Jewish problem. He has said as much in so many words. He is also racially aware, some of his interviews being mingled with his concerns about a darkening Europe and the need to prevent racial aliens from crossing our southern border. But he’s a little too heavy on discipline and the rule of law for my taste. I guess you can take the man out of the military, but you can’t take the military out of the man, especially one coming from a high level of command. I get the feeling that he would be adamantly opposed to an American Caesar or Napoleon seizing the reins of History and overthrowing the government in Washington D.C. – but excuse me for indulging in one of my favorite fantasies.
Colonel Douglas Macgregor has given us the most comprehensive analysis of America’s latest “contrived war for hallucinatory ends,” to borrow a phrase coined by Dr. Revilo Oliver. He has also made some striking predictions on how this disastrous war will usher in a new historical epoch. By the end of 2026, we should have a good idea of how accurate he has been in forecasting the future.
