They scream “war crime” at Pete Hegseth, Trump’s pick to gut the Pentagon’s rot, for a “double tap” strike that finished Venezuelan narcoterrorists mid-flee.[1] But where was their fury when Biden’s drones vaporized an Afghan aid worker and seven children in their own driveway?[2] Or when Obama greenlit the execution of American citizens without trial, no due process, just Hellfire from the sky?[3] This isn’t outrage — it’s theater. The media machine, puppeteered by the uniparty elite, dangles Hegseth’s nomination as rage bait to shield the real criminals: the architects of illegal wars sold on lies, from Iraq’s ghost WMDs to Afghanistan’s botched surrender.[4] Trump pulled us from the meat grinder; they dragged us back in.[5] Time to choke down the truth: the double standard isn’t hypocrisy. It’s the mask slipping.
The “Double Tap”: Cartel Killers Meet Their End — or Media’s Newest Witch Hunt?
Flash back to September 2, 2025: U.S. forces spot a Tren de Aragua speedboat slicing through Caribbean waters, loaded with fentanyl bound for American veins.[6] A missile from the sky shreds it — narcoterrorists go down hard.[7] Two cling to wreckage, gasping. Minutes later? Another strike. No survivors. The Pentagon calls it “eliminating the threat.”[8] Trump hails it as victory in the war on drugs.[9] By December, it’s the 22nd such hit — 87 dead cartel scum.[10]
They called it “mostly peaceful” when American kids overdosed.
CNN wails of “executing the wounded,” legal eagles cry hors de combat violations.[11] The Guardian brands it a “new low.”[12] And Hegseth? He’s the villain — despite admirals testifying the order came from Navy brass.[14] Smears pile on: sexual assault claims, boozing, “Deus Vult” tattoo flagged as extremist.[15][16] Confirmation hearing? A Kavanaugh redux.[17]
The Ghosts They Ignore: Biden’s Kabul Carnage and Obama’s American Hit List
August 29, 2021 — Kabul. Biden’s botched pullout. Drone “righteous strike” on a white Toyota Corolla. Result: 10 civilians vaporized — aid worker Zemari Ahmadi and seven of his children, ages 2–20.[19][20] Pentagon: “Tragic mistake.” No accountability.[21]
The media gave them a pass.
Obama’s “Terror Tuesdays”: personally signed off on killing U.S.-born Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen — no trial.[23] Two weeks later his 16-year-old son Abdulrahman, no terror ties, killed while eating dinner.[25] Media reaction? Crickets and praise for “precision.”
The Uniparty’s Illegal Wars: False Flags, Petrodollar Defense, and the Real Money Trail
This rage isn’t random — it’s the swamp’s death rattle. Trump yanked us from Obama’s meat grinder: no new wars, ISIS routed, Abraham Accords.[28] The uniparty birthed the beasts for one reason: keeping the petrodollar alive.[37]
Saddam floated euros for oil in 2000 — invaded 2003.[38] Gaddafi planned a gold-backed African dinar — NATO bombed Libya 2011, Hillary cackled “We came, we saw, he died.”[39][40]
Benghazi wasn’t a consulate — it was a CIA arms hub shipping Gaddafi’s stockpiles to Syrian “rebels” (who became ISIS).[41][42] Ambassador Chris Stevens knew too much. When the compound was attacked, stand-down orders came. Four Americans abandoned. Hillary: “What difference, at this point, does it make?” while her private server got bleached.[44][45]
Follow the money:
- Dick Cheney — Halliburton CEO → VP → Halliburton awarded $39.5 billion in no-bid Iraq contracts. His personal take: tens of millions in deferred pay and stock.[48]
- Liz Cheney — inherited the war-hawk mantle, family fortune built on Iraq blood money.[50]
- KBR (Halliburton subsidiary) — $17 billion more, caught overcharging fuel, electrocuted U.S. troops with shoddy wiring.[49]
- Bechtel, Blackwater, Raytheon, Lockheed — hundreds of billions in contracts while 900,000+ died and $8 trillion vanished.[53]
That’s the real war crime: 20 years, 38 million displaced, trillions stolen, and the same families still pushing forever wars from their think-tank perches.
The Reckoning: Hegseth’s Blade vs. the Uniparty’s Chains
Pete Hegseth served in Iraq, earned a Bronze Star, and now wants to audit the war machine that enriched the Cheneys while veterans rot on sidewalks.[34] The same media that gave Obama a pass for killing American teens now demands Hegseth’s head for finishing cartel poison-peddlers.
If cartel dogs are in the water pushing fentanyl that kills 100,000 Americans a year — double-tap them into the seabed. No quarter.
Brother, this is the red pill they fear most: the wars weren’t for freedom. They were for the petrodollar, for Halliburton stock options, for Cheney’s beach house and Clinton Foundation donations.
Reader’s Choice: The Only Thing That Matters Now
We’re not here to tell you what to feel.
We’re not here to hand you a script and demand you read the lines like the legacy outlets do.
Our only agenda is this: make you think for yourself.
The same machine that spent weeks screaming “war crime” over a double-tap on cartel poison-peddlers gave Obama a Nobel Peace Prize for droning American teenagers.
The same machine that buried Benghazi, bleached servers, and cashed Clinton Foundation checks now clutches pearls over a tattoo and a whiskey glass.
The same machine that sold you “mushroom clouds” and “hearts and minds” for twenty years is the one feeding you tonight’s rage bait.
Their agenda isn’t left or right. Their agenda is control — keep you angry, keep you tribal, keep you too exhausted to ask who actually got rich while your sons came home in bags and your daughters overdosed on cartel fentanyl.
We don’t care if you end up cheering Hegseth or hating him. We don’t care if you love Trump, loathe Trump, or never trusted a politician in your life.
We care about one thing, and one thing only:
That you refuse to let someone else do your thinking for you.
Read the timelines. Follow the money. Trace the bodies. Question the outrage of the day.
Because the moment you let the television, the blue-check chorus, or the algorithm decide what you’re allowed to be angry about… they’ve already won.
This is your mind. This is your country. This is your children’s future.
Guard it with everything you’ve got.
In the name of truth. In the name of Virtus. In the name of the free-thinking men and women who refuse to be ruled by lies.
