Please Note: This is in response to the video below and most of the bolded sections are in response to the video or to emphasize an important point. I’ve added (PDF Copy) for each of what I felt was important evidence for my argument that I worry could be removed; as often happens when I cite information.

---

I listened to Tucker Carlson’s video twice and I wanted to share my thoughts on it. I want to make it clear that famous public intellectuals probably don’t care what a random blogger has to say, but I thought I’d share my views because he made some really challenging arguments. I found Tucker’s views to be honest, his anger towards and concerns about Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu seeking an actual conspiracy to harm the legal rights of US Liberals to be sincere, and his arguments to be convincing to an extent. However, and I’m genuinely surprised by this, he doesn’t seem to understand the specific reasons why the US and Israel have a special relationship; I was always under the impression that during any type of onboarding for news agencies, including Fox News, that they would at least give the gist for reasons why they don’t talk about certain issues and why Israel is given special treatment by the US Federal government. If US journalists weren’t even told – what is to my understanding the real reasons – then, I’m surprised the Mainstream / Legacy news media didn’t collapse sooner than it did in terms of legitimacy to the broader US public.

I want to be clear: All of this is purely my limited opinions based upon what I’ve read-up on over the years and my own limited understanding of the bedrock of reasons why Israel is given a $3 billion credit in free aid to obtain US military weapons and other equipment.

First, I want to share where I agree with him. I unreservedly agree with his criticisms regarding the attack on the USS Liberty and Israel spying on us to steal our military secrets which they often sell to China. I wholeheartedly agree that Prime Minister Netanyahu’s disgusting admission to have influenced the sale of Tik Tok, his ongoing nefarious plans to willfully censor Woke Liberals for support for Palestine is an unforgivable violation of our fellow Americans basic human rights especially since he willfully wants to equate their humanitarian concerns about Gaza with support for Nazism, and his desire to “talk to Elon Musk” to push the same censorship agenda on Twitter / X.com is alarming. I agree that AIPAC needs to be recognized as serving foreign interests. I agree that AIPAC must register under FARA, Foreign Agents Registration Act, especially after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s comments. The Port of Haifa is extremely suspicious, especially since the entire Tik Tok campaign was to shut down dissent by claiming it was a way to spy for China. I completely agree that anyone serving in a Foreign military should lose citizenship if they’re not a born US citizen, if they are a born Citizen then they should face criminal punishment under US law.

Here are my concerns with the rest of it on both US foreign policy and his Christian beliefs:

Tucker said something very strange for any Christian to say when it came to guilt and punishment. If guilt and virtue aren’t passed down, then why the Doctrine of Forgiveness at all? The only way the Doctrine of Forgiveness works is if people are born guilty and need forgiveness for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ that happened before any of them were ever born or ever even consented to the torture and murder of Jesus Christ by the Roman empire. If you don’t believe that guilt and punishment are passed down through the generations, then on what basis does anyone need to seek forgiveness from Jesus Christ? How on earth can anyone be born a sinner per the Christian context, if guilt and punishment aren’t passed down per what the Bible itself teaches about Original Sin? This just doesn’t make any sense for a Christian to say.

Exodus 20:5

New International Version

⁵ You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,

The Thaad Missiles Issue: From my own perspective based on what I’ve learned, the Israel – Palestine feud is a training ground for the purpose of testing US weapons in a real combat scenario to improve their utility so the US can remain having cutting-edge military technology. Any failures can then be improved upon when tested in a real-life combat zone. We even sell weapons to Middle Eastern dictators who sell it in a black market to terrorists or who otherwise lose them in a black market to Islamic terrorists. The point is that our country makes far more in the billions from it (PDF Copy) and the continuous, real combat scenario is a useful means of accomplishing that for the Weapons Industry, US politicians, and keeping the US economy strong for the One Percent. President Trump’s rebuke of Israel taking over the West Bank is actually in line with late years of President Obama’s term in office. To my understanding, the US weapons industry, Oil industry, the State department, and US elected officials want endless war between Israel and Palestine to keep improving tests of cutting-edge weaponry and as a means of pointing to a longstanding example of real-life combat experience that proves these weapons are worth selling to prospective buyers of different countries who want to make sure that they’re getting a good deal for their investment in US weaponry. The belief in Christian prophecy, whereby Christians who are Pro-Israel feel bliss from seeing dead Palestinian children because they believe it is a necessary step for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and the Pro-Palestinian group who are a mix of Muslims who believe in the Islamic version of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ via the Mahdi and Pro-Palestinian Christian Americans who believe Palestinians are “the true descendants of ancient Judea” and point to Israel’s safeguards on genetic testing as means of arguing they’re the ones being consistent with Biblical Prophecy for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ; both these groups are just useful morons for the weapons industry to keep raking in billions from either selling to Israel or selling to the Gulf Cooperation Council who then oftentimes sell or give away weapons in the Black Market which ends-up in the hands of terrorists like Hamas, al Qaeda, and ISIS. This is honestly my only conclusion based upon my understanding of the evidence.

The Aid to Israel: Honestly? Follow the money. Compare the nearly $40 billion dollars given to Israel since October 7^th, 2023 and Israeli free aid prior to that which amounts to approximately $300 billion since 1947 to 2024 versus the billions made from the Gulf Cooperation Council and other US partner countries according to the “Fiscal Year 2024 U.S. Arms Transfers and Defense Trade: Fact Sheet” by the US Department of State on January 24, 2025:

Foreign Military Sales:

In FY2024 the total value of transferred defense articles and services and security cooperation activities conducted under the Foreign Military Sales system was $117.9 billion.  This represents a 45.7% increase, up from $80.9 billion in FY2023.  This is the highest ever annual total of sales and assistance provided to our allies and partners.  In FY2024, we oversaw 16,227 FMS cases with an open case value of over $845 billion.

The $117.9 billion figure for the FY2024 includes $96.9 billion in arms sales funded by U.S. allies and partner nations; $11.8 billion funded through the Title 22 Foreign Military Financing program; and $9.2 billion funded through Department of Defense Building Partner Capacity programs and certain Department of State programs funded under the Foreign Assistance Act.

The three-year rolling average value for transferred defense articles and services and security cooperation activities conducted under the Foreign Military Sales system was for FY2022-FY2024 was $83.6 billion. This represents a 49.6% increase from $55.9 billion for FY2021-FY2023.

FY2023 FY2024 % Change

FMS — Total Value $80.9B $117.9B +45.7%

FY21-23 FY22-24 % Change

FMS — Three-Year Rolling Average $55.9B $83.57B +49.6%

Examples of government-to-government FMS sales notified to Congress in FY2024 include:

• Türkiye – F-16 Aircraft Acquisition and Modernization ($23.0 billion)

• Israel – F-15IA and F-15I+ Aircraft ($18.8 billion)

• Romania – F-35 Aircraft ($7.2 billion)

• Germany – PATRIOT Advanced Capability-3 Missile Segment Enhancement Missiles ($5.0 billion)

• Japan – KC-46A Aerial Refueling Aircraft ($4.1 billion)

• India – MQ-9B Remotely Piloted Aircraft ($4.0 billion)

• Republic of Korea – AH-64E Apache Helicopters ($3.5 billion)

• Spain – PATRIOT Configuration-3+ Modernized Fire Units ($2.8 billion)

• Saudi Arabia – System Logistics and Sustainment Support ($2.8 billion)

• Romania – M1A2 Abrams Main Battle ($2.5 billion)

• Japan – Tomahawk Weapon System ($2.4 billion)

• Bahrain – M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tanks ($2.2 billion)

• Australia – AUKUS-related Training and Training Devices ($2.0 billion)

• Greece – UH-60M Black Hawk Helicopters ($1.95 billion)

• Norway – AIM-120C-8 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles ($1.94 billion)

• Poland – AGM-158B-2 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile with Extended Range ($1.77 billion)

• Poland – AIM-120C-8 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles ($1.69 billion) Poland – Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missiles – Extended Range ($1.275 billion)

• Poland – Airspace and Surface Radar Reconnaissance ($1.2 billion)

• Austria – UH-60M Blackhawk Helicopters ($1.05 billion)

• Saudia Arabia – Blanket Order Training ($1 billion)

Direct Commercial Sales:

The total authorized value for privately contracted Direct Commercial Sales (DCS) authorizations for FY2024 was $200.8 billion, which includes the value of hardware, services, and technical data authorized from exports, temporary imports, reexports, retransfers, and brokering.  This represents a 27.5% increase, up from $157.5 billion in FY2023.

The three-year rolling average of DCS authorizations issued by the State Department for FY2022-FY2024 was $170.6 billion, which was a 23.5% increase over the period FY2021-FY2023.

The Israeli government’s defense budget was less than $25 billion before October 7^th, 2023. The US having given $300 billion total into supporting Israel from 1946 to now (PDF Copy) only seems large when you don’t compare it to how much the US is profiting from weapons sales to other countries. Compare that to over $90 billion in profits in weapons sales to Saudi Arabia on top of Saudi Arabia buying $35 billion in US exports in just the year 2013 (PDF Copy) during the Obama years. Our weapons industry and oil industry gain more from this than anything else and it keeps the US economy stable and healthy for the most part.

Israel is also a useful counterweight to Iran seeking to dominate the region; the pager attack by Israel needs no further explanation. Their effectiveness is proven and it helps our national interests without us having to do anything and Israel gets the blame.

The most vital reason, above the tens of billions in annual weapons sales, is that the US economy relies upon a system that is popularly called the Petrodollar. Here is a lengthy explanation from a Georgetown university professor on how this process works, feel free to click on each of the links to read more on how it works, the author was Dr. Ibrahim M. Oweiss. The oil of those Middle Eastern dictatorships is pegged on the US dollar and they basically act as outsourced factories that keep the US economy going, while the US dollar gains world-reserve currency status with every other country making business in the US to obtain US dollars in order to grow their own economies using the vital resource of oil. So, for example, it didn’t matter that the US sold Iraqi oil to countries like China and South American countries after the invasion of Iraq and toppling of Saddam Hussein, because it is sold on the US dollar and they have to invest in the US to use that oil up until the trinity of Iran-Russia-China created their own oil for dollar system. Under the George W. Bush administration, it seems to me that the whole point was to decrease the rising demand for oil in China so that the negative impact for the US economy was lessened. When there is more demand for a finite resource like oil, then the price eventually goes up, and so the Oil industry and US elected officials sought to keep the price as low as possible with the knowledge that the rising demand was inevitable due to other countries slowly growing into middle-income and then first-world income status and needing their demand for oil met. Of course, this also means Wall Street and the One Percent need chronic foreign intervention in the Middle East, including wars, to make sure that the price of oil remains low to keep their businesses afloat and keep the American public relatively content with stable oil prices.

The US Weapons and US Oil industry probably prefer the Client State of Israel ordering the US public, because it helps serve US economic and national interests and keeps US hegemony unquestioned. This explanation should make it abundantly clear that we didn’t invade Iraq in 2003 for Israel, we invaded possibly due to concerns of Russia’s natural gas at the time. Above all, it was to keep the petrodollar system going to maximize US profits, to keep oil prices for Americans at as low a price as possible, and especially because of the rising demand for oil by China at the time. By being able to sell it to other markets, we make a profit and the oil prices are kept under our domain of influence.

IDF behavior in the Pentagon sounds like entitlement from expectations in the relationship, which our Oil and Weapons industries make money off of, keeps US hegemony afloat with control over the oil, and keeps US weapons sales to other countries chugging along to make tens of billions in profits.

Restore the concept of citizenship? For people to believe there is no hierarchy of citizenship, there needs to be a completely clear and fully resolved release of who the co-conspirators of Epstein were. If there is no release of this information, then this is not a legitimate argument as we’re all still ignoring the implication that the One Percent can now rape any US child that they want and the US federal government will bend over backwards to protect the One Percent from any real legal liability, even for raping children. Moreover, Christian Churches have been getting away with this same issue in the thousands and Americans have completely turned a blind eye to child rape victims, then there’s the whole legalized dehumanization and state-sponsored rape and genocide campaign upon Native Americans that continues to this day, and basically, Tucker isn’t being realistic with this one. We’d have to correct all of these issues, before we can say that equality of citizenship actually exists. Punishing the majority of dual citizens for dual citizenship is not fair to the law-abiding ones who do support the US and respect US laws, but I do completely agree that anyone serving in a foreign military or leader of a Foreign country like Benjamin Netanyahu should lose citizenship if they’re not a born US citizen, if they are a born US citizen then I believe that they should face criminal punishment under US law.

Oldest Christian Heresy? 

What are you talking about? It’s quite clear from the Bible itself that Jews are meant to be gathered in Jerusalem and in the Book of Revelation that Jews are meant to be tested by Satan himself and if they don’t accept Jesus Christ, then Jesus Christ himself will kill the Jews and other non-believers as followers of Satan according to the New Testament’s Book of Revelation. Anyone who doesn’t submit to Jesus Christ is regarded as a follower of Satan being deceived:

Revelation 2

King James Version

2 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

² I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

³ And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

⁴ Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

⁵ Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

⁶ But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.

⁷ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

⁸ And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;

⁹ I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

¹⁰ Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

¹¹ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

¹² And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;

¹³ I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

¹⁴ But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

¹⁵ So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.

¹⁶ Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

¹⁷ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

¹⁸ And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;

¹⁹ I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.

²⁰ Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

²¹ And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

²² Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

²³ And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

²⁴ But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

²⁵ But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

²⁶ And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

²⁷ And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

²⁸ And I will give him the morning star.

²⁹ He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Chosen People? Chosen People – even if it means choosing Jesus – is just Abrahamic narcissism. You think you’re a special type of people that has found a utopian afterlife due to illusory feelings for the image of Jesus Christ in your mind. That being said, the deadpan “God will kill you, if you don’t support Bibi Netanyahu.” line has got to be one of the most brutal intra-Christian criticisms I’ve ever watched. Good on Tucker.

“The Chosen People are those who choose Jesus. The entire New Testament is that story.”  

Have you even read any of the Bible? My response:

“Christians cannot abide by killing the innocent”

Have you paid attention to any of Christian theology since at least 400 AD to now?

Were the entirety of the Crusades a heresy then? Is the Doctrine of Discovery, the very basis in which the United States took land from Native Americans, a heresy then?

Difference between Augustinian “just war” and “crusade”:

The standard for a Christian “just war” as developed by Augustine (c. A.D. 400) is: “rightful intention on the part of the participants, which should always be expressed through love of God and neighbour; a just cause; and legitimate proclamation by a qualified authority.” (Quoted from J. Riley-Smith, The Crusades, Yale University, 1987.)  The doctrine of holy war/crusade added two further assumptions: 1) Violence and its consequences–death and injury–are morally neutral rather than intrinsically evil, and whether violence is good or bad is a matter of intention. (The analogy is to a surgeon, who cuts into the body, thus injuring it, in order to make it better/healthier.)  2) Christ is concerned with the political order of man, and intends for his agents on earth, kings, popes, bishops, to establish on earth a Christian Republic that was a “single, universal, transcendental state’ ruled by Christ through the lay and clerical magistrates he endowed with authority.

It follows from this that the defense of the Christian Republic against God’s enemies, whether foreign infidel (e.g. Turks) or domestic heretics and Jews was a moral imperative for those qualified to fight. A Crusade was a holy war fought against external or internal enemies for the recovery of Christian property or defense of the Church or the Christian people. It could be wages against Turks in Palestine, Muslims in Spain, pagan Slavs in the Baltic, or heretics in southern France, all of whom were enemies or rebels against God.

Is President Obama’s use of St. Augustine’s Just-War theory for his drone bombings of seven different countries a heresy then? (PDF Copy)

I mean this in the nicest way possible and I profusely apologize for any rudeness: Tucker… welcome to real life. Christianity, Islam, Judaism… they’re just tools to manipulate the gullible into crackpot fantasy stories using the ancient mythology of ignorant,  uneducated people. The ignorant people who believe in Abrahamic mythology are exploited by the One Percent, especially the Oil and Arms industries who rake in tens of billions every year while Abrahamic religious people are useful pawns in support of their self-interests to maintain their wealth and power. Your religion, like Islam and Judaism, is nothing more than a war mandate to justify an economic system of war and exploitation. That is genuinely all Christianity is and all that it will ever be; just because Islam is more violent and Judaism is more genocidal when it comes to the “holy land” doesn’t change this fundamental fact about all three Abrahamic faith traditions. That is just the honest truth.
