    >**The Trump administration’s top official on counterterrorism has resigned from his position, citing opposition to the war in Iran, and urged the president to “reverse course”.**

    >In a letter posted on his X account, National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent said that Iran posed “no imminent threat” to the US and claimed that the Trump administration “started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby”.

    Just a rat jumping off a sinking ship.

    Joe Kent is a far-right extremist nominated by Trump last year.

  3. Paving the way for the US to setup an attack on US soil to force an introduction of Article 5

    Worked in tech a long time, there are signs of when it is time to jump ship.

    A huge blaring one is if you see danger coming, try to warn about it, and realize that instead of heeding the warning – they are instead setting you up to be the fall for it.

    Just going off my *vibes* here, but this doesn’t seem like a good thing.

    Confirmed. After many years of waiting, Netanyahu found the dumbest president to start a war with Iran 

  7. Yeah I’d leave too if I desisted my life to protecting against terror attacks and someone’s kicks a hornets nest in front of me.

  8. Hm, I noticed that US officials all too often just resign instead of hanging on and resisting. (Jerome Powell being a counterexample)

    I had no idea Joe Kent was put in charge of anything. This dude was (allegedly and [unconfirmed](https://www.opb.org/article/2023/10/26/federal-elections-commission-dismisses-claims-southwest-washington-candidate-joe-kent-fake-job/)) paid by Peter Thiel to run for Congress for a couple of cycles after Washington’s 3rd primaried their long-serving Republican representative because she voted to impeach Trump following Jan 6. Kent [did not know](https://www.opb.org/article/2022/10/25/congressional-candidate-joe-kent-releases-salary-documents-amid-questions-about-employer/) the name of the company that employed him during his congressional runs and a staffer said he never did anything but campaign. He was previously in the military and CIA, so maybe he has qualifications other than being a fascist.

    I’m sure even this will be ignored by the republicans and MAGA base who will call it fake news or liberal propaganda. Deposit this being a republican who has worked in this field for over four decades. Perhaps someone will listen one day.

  11. Guess Trump doesn’t need officials either to win.

    Operation Epic Failure 🫡

  12. Sounds like theres going to be a HUGE influx of terrorism targeted at the US and this guy knew its time to jump ship

    So when/where is the false flag attack happening? Most likely a blue state? That way Trump can justify invading Iran, set himself up for President for life and distract from the Trump-Epstein files.

  14. >Iran posed “no imminent threat” to the US and claimed that the Trump administration “started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby”.

    Whistle blowers in this administration don’t tell shocking secrets, they just admit the widely known truth.

    >Kent cited his military service and her death in his letter, saying that he “cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives.”

  16. Trump really needs to be impeached immediately. He’s destroying our country and the Republicans are dancing about it.

  17. Curious how the Trump media team will spin this.

    I mean he is a supporter of Trump, been in active combat several times, lost his wife to an attack.

    I find it difficult to tear down such a person even though I imagine they will try.

    Serious question: How does Israel manage to incite USA to do anything? Like what is going on behind the scenes? It’s not like they have any leverage over USA.

    I am not asking from a conspiracy theory perspective; more like from the strategy perspective that goes into making USA of all the countries in the world song something you want done.

  19. >Additionally, Kent alleged that “high-ranking Israeli officials” and influential US journalists had sowed “misinformation” that caused Trump to undermine his “America First” platform.

    Something everyone knew. It’s Netanyahu’s war

  20. I promise you this means a false flag event is coming before November. Trump will attack and kill Americans and blame Iran. Watch.
