PART ONE: THE HISTORY AMERICA NEVER LEARNED
Overthrowing Iran & Installing Puppets Is an American Tradition
Americans watching the news today see headlines about Trump threatening Iran, breaking promises, and targeting the Revolutionary Guard. Most people think this is just another foreign policy spat.
They have no idea America already overthrew Iran’s government twice.
And Trump is too ignorant of history to understand what he’s stepping into.
1953: The Backstory Americans Never Learned
Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh was a democratically elected leader. He gave Iranians freedoms they wouldn’t see again for generations — free press, political parties, expanding education.
His mistake? He demanded Iran get a fair cut of its own oil.
For nearly 40 years, the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (now BP) had been draining Iran’s wealth. Here are the real numbers:
· Total profits made off Iranian oil (1913-1951): $3 billion
· Iran’s total cut over nearly 40 years: $624 million
· Britain and BP’s take: $2.376 billion
That’s roughly 79% for Britain. 21% for Iran. Over four decades.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia had a 50/50 split with American oil companies. Mossadegh simply wanted what Saudi Arabia already had. When Britain refused, Mossadegh took over BP’s entire operation inside Iran — refineries, pipelines, equipment worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
The Foolish Mistake — And The Smarter Response That Never Happened
Yes, Mossadegh made a reckless decision. Iran didn’t have enough trained engineers to run the operation. Britain pulled out its experts and imposed a global blockade. Oil production crashed from 700,000 barrels per day to less than 20,000 — a 97% drop. The economy collapsed.
But let’s be clear: BP and Britain had already made their money. $2.376 billion in profit over 40 years. They had been paid back many times over for whatever infrastructure Mossadegh seized.
So did Mossadegh’s foolish economic decision give Britain and America the right to overthrow a democratically elected leader?
Absolutely not.
Here’s what they should have done instead:
· Use the media to expose the 97% production collapse
· Shame Iran publicly with the truth about their economic disaster
· Let Iran suffer the financial consequences of their own mistake
· Offer a clear escape route: come back to the table for a fair 50/50 split
That’s all they needed to do. Let reality wake Iran up. A nation that depends on oil for its survival would have come crawling back within months.
But Britain and America didn’t choose the patient, peaceful path. They chose bullets over boycotts. Coups over consequences.
How They Did It — Operation Ajax
· The CIA and MI6 ran Operation Ajax
· CIA agent Kermit Roosevelt Jr. entered Iran with a car full of cash to bribe military officers and pay street gangs to stage violent protests
· The CIA planted fake news articles to wage a propaganda war against Mossadegh
· Iranian military assets were used to broadcast fake royal decrees dismissing Mossadegh
· In 2013, the CIA finally admitted it “played a significant role” in overthrowing Mossadegh and installing the Shah
The Shah: A Complicated Legacy
Here’s what Americans never learn: The Shah they installed actually turned out to be a pretty decent leader in many ways.
· Religious Freedom: Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, and other minorities were protected and could practice freely
· Women’s Rights: Women gained the right to vote, run for office, and pursue education and careers
· Modernization: Schools, hospitals, highways, and universities expanded rapidly
· Western Alignment: Iran was a stable American ally in a volatile region
Yes, the Shah was tough on revolters. His secret police (SAVAK) cracked down hard on dissent. But ruling a Muslim-majority nation is not like ruling Sweden. The clerics and radical elements trained by certain interpretations of the Quran can be extremely dangerous. The Shah understood what he was dealing with. He probably did what was necessary to hold the country together.
The Shah’s Perfect Deal — And How He Blew It Up
After the 1953 coup, America and Britain set up a new oil agreement in 1954. And here’s the thing: it was actually a really good deal for Iran.
A consortium of Western oil companies — American, British, Dutch, and French — handled everything. They brought the technology. They provided the expertise. They managed the global marketing and shipping. All the complicated, expensive work was done by them.
Iran’s job? Sit back and collect 50% of the profits.
For nearly 20 years, this arrangement worked beautifully. Iran’s economy grew. The Shah funded his modernization programs. Schools, hospitals, highways, universities — all built on that steady 50/50 oil revenue stream.
Then came 1973.
The Shah got greedy. He listened to foolish advisors and nationalist voices telling him Iran deserved 100% control. Never mind that Iran still didn’t have enough trained engineers to run the whole operation. Never mind that the Western companies were the ones actually selling the oil to the world.
He gave the consortium an ultimatum: sign over full control or get out.
On March 21, 1973, the Shah announced Iran had taken “full and real control” of its oil industry. The National Iranian Oil Company now owned everything.
The Disaster Unfolds
Here’s what happened next:
Oil prices quadrupled in 1973-74. Iran was suddenly drowning in cash. The Shah went on a spending spree — mega-projects, military hardware, grand visions. But Iran didn’t have the ports, the roads, or the skilled workers to handle it all. Inflation hit 40-50%. The economy overheated and cracked.
By the late 1970s, oil demand dipped. Iran’s revenues collapsed. The government imposed harsh austerity — freezing salaries, canceling projects. The merchants went broke. The workers went hungry. Everyone turned against the Shah.
He had traded a perfect 50/50 deal — where experts did all the work and he just collected checks — for 100% control of an industry that wrecked his economy and fueled the revolution that destroyed him.
Greed. Foolish pride. Listening to the wrong voices. The same mistakes leaders keep making.
The Shah’s Self-Destruction Meets Brzezinski’s Ambition
The Shah didn’t need a foreign conspiracy to fail. He engineered his own downfall starting in 1973. But the Western response revealed something uglier: they didn’t want to save him.
Enter Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Jimmy Carter’s National Security Advisor. Brzezinski was a Polish-born fanatic who hated the Soviet Union with every fiber of his being. He wrote books like “The Grand Chessboard” laying out his plan for America to dominate the entire Eurasian landmass.
And here’s the connection most Americans never learn: Brzezinski served on the board of Amoco (later part of BP) and consulted for major energy firms. The same Western oil companies the Shah had kicked out of Iran in 1973 were paying Brzezinski’s bills. He had a direct financial stake in the outcome.
Brzezinski didn’t start the fire. The Shah lit the match. But Brzezinski made sure no fire trucks arrived.
The Islam Strategy
Brzezinski had a radical idea: use Islam to defeat Communism.
His theory was simple. The Soviet Union had millions of Muslims in its southern republics. If America could weaponize Islamic movements, they could destabilize the USSR from within. This became known as the “Green Belt” strategy — using Islamic fundamentalism as a weapon against the godless Soviets.
This wasn’t just theory. Brzezinski put it into action in Afghanistan, arming and training the Mujahideen to bleed the Soviet army. Those same fighters later became the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. In a 1998 interview, Brzezinski admitted he had pushed Carter to sign the first directive for secret aid to the mujahideen on July 3, 1979 — six months before the Soviet invasion. He called it “an excellent idea” that “had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap.”
Controlling the Ignorant Carter
Jimmy Carter was weak, indecisive, and easily manipulated. Declassified documents show Brzezinski constantly pushing Carter toward aggressive policies while Carter scribbled skeptical notes in the margins like “Lying?” and “You’ll be wasting your time.”
Carter was in over his head, dumber than Trump when it came to understanding the deep games being played around him. Brzezinski ran the show. Carter just signed the papers.
The Solution That Was Never Offered
Here is what could have happened—what should have happened—if America had acted like a true friend instead of a puppet master.
By 1978, the Shah’s economy was in freefall. Inflation was out of control. Protests filled the streets. The 1973 oil takeover had backfired spectacularly. Iran was drowning in the consequences of its own greed.
America still had immense power and influence over Iran. The CIA had installed the Shah. American military advisors were embedded throughout his armed forces. Washington could have picked up the phone at any moment and saved its ally.
Imagine this scenario:
President Jimmy Carter calls the Shah personally.
“Your Imperial Majesty, we need to speak honestly. We installed you in 1953 because we believed in Iran’s future. We still believe in you.
Your decision to seize our oil companies’ assets in 1973 was a mistake. We understand why you did it. But look at the results. Inflation at 50%. Your people are suffering.
We are not your enemy, Your Majesty. We are your partner. Here is our offer:
Return to the 50/50 profit-sharing agreement. Let our experts return to manage the technical operations. You keep 50% of the revenue — more than enough to fund your modernization programs. We will provide economic advisors to stabilize your currency. And most importantly, we will deploy our intelligence assets to help you restore order.
This is not a demand. This is the hand of friendship. We do not wish to see you fall.
What say you, Your Imperial Majesty?”
Problem solved.
No coup. No Islamic Revolution. No 444-day hostage crisis. No 45 years of enmity between America and Iran.
But that call never happened.
Instead, Brzezinski — financially tied to the oil companies the Shah had expelled — pushed for confrontation. Carter dithered. The Shah, isolated and desperate, fled.
The Reign of Terror: Why the Shah Had to Flee
After Khomeini returned to Iran in February 1979, the new regime unleashed a wave of brutal executions against anyone associated with the Shah’s government. This was not justice. This was revenge killing dressed up in religious robes.
Revolutionary courts were established under the authority of Ayatollah Sadegh Khalkhali, known as the “Hanging Judge.” These were kangaroo courts in the truest sense:
· Trials lasting minutes, not hours
· No defense lawyers permitted
· No appeals allowed
· Verdicts announced before the “trial” even began
The executions began immediately:
· Prime Minister Amir-Abbas Hoveyda: The Shah’s long-serving Prime Minister was arrested, subjected to a secret trial, and executed by firing squad on April 7, 1979. His “crime”? Serving his country under the monarchy.
· Mass Executions: Within just two months of the revolution, over 60 former officials were executed. On a single night in April 1979, 11 top figures — including the former Foreign Minister, the Mayor of Tehran, and several generals — were lined up and shot.
· The Hanging Judge’s Boast: Khalkhali personally oversaw hundreds of executions and later bragged about them in his memoirs. He reportedly kept a list of enemies and took pleasure in carrying out sentences himself.
· Bodies Dumped in Mass Graves: Many victims were buried in unmarked graves, their families denied proper funerals. The regime wanted to erase them from history.
Interim Prime Minister Bazargan’s Powerlessness
Mehdi Bazargan was appointed interim Prime Minister by Khomeini, supposedly to run the government while the new Islamic constitution was drafted. But Bazargan quickly discovered he had no real power.
The Revolutionary Guards and the revolutionary courts answered only to Khomeini. When Bazargan protested the summary executions, he was ignored. When the U.S. Embassy was seized on November 4, 1979, Bazargan was not even consulted. He resigned in protest two days later, admitting publicly that he could not control the militants or the regime’s extremist elements.
His resignation exposed the truth: the Islamic Republic was never a moderate government. The radicals controlled everything from day one.
The Shah’s Flight: Survival, Not Cowardice
Given this reign of terror, the Shah’s decision to flee Iran in January 1979 was not cowardice. It was the only rational choice for a man who understood exactly what awaited him.
He was already dying of cancer. He knew the revolutionary courts would subject him to a humiliating show trial followed by a public execution. His prime minister had been shot. His generals had been shot. There was no scenario where he stayed and lived.
He fled first to Egypt, then Morocco, then the Bahamas, then Mexico. When his cancer worsened, President Carter reluctantly allowed him to enter the United States for medical treatment in October 1979.
The Hostage Crisis: 444 Days of Humiliation
The Shah’s entry into America was the excuse Khomeini’s regime needed.
On November 4, 1979, a group calling themselves “Muslim Students Following the Line of the Imam” stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. They took 52 Americans hostage.
The “students” were not independent activists. They were organized, armed, and supported by the Revolutionary Guard and Khomeini’s inner circle. Khomeini’s son Ahmad was reportedly involved in coordination. Khomeini himself publicly praised the takeover within hours and refused to order the militants to withdraw.
The demands were simple: return the Shah to Iran for trial and execution.
The hostages were held for 444 days. They were blindfolded, paraded before cameras, subjected to mock executions, and kept in isolation. The Carter administration was paralyzed. A failed rescue mission called Operation Eagle Claw ended with eight American servicemen dead in the desert.
The Shah never returned to Iran. He left the United States for Panama and later Egypt, where he died of cancer on July 27, 1980. His death did not free the hostages. They were held for another six months.
The hostages were finally released on January 20, 1981 — literally minutes after Ronald Reagan was sworn in as president. The timing was deliberate. Khomeini wanted to humiliate Carter until his final second in office.
Brzezinski’s Pivot: Remove Khomeini
Once the hostages were taken, Brzezinski’s true colors emerged. On November 27, 1979, just three weeks after the embassy seizure, he sent a top-secret memo to Carter titled “Iran: What Next?” The stated goal: “How to get rid of Khomeini—or, in other words, how to save Iran for the West.”
He proposed a naval blockade of Iranian ports. He pushed for covert action to destabilize the new regime. But Carter, weak and indecisive to the end, declined.
The Shah had become useless to Western interests the moment he seized the oil in 1973. Khomeini became the new enemy. Brzezinski simply pivoted from one target to the next.
2025: Trump’s Turn
Now Trump threatens the Supreme Leader and the Revolutionary Guard. He breaks agreements. He postures like a strongman.
But here’s what Trump doesn’t know — and what most Americans never learned:
Iranians remember everything. They remember 1953. They remember Mossadegh dying under house arrest. They remember the Shah’s flight and death in exile. They remember the 1973 oil grab. They remember the executions of 1979. They remember the 444 days of hostage crisis. They remember Brzezinski’s games.
America has overthrown two Iranian leaders already. Mossadegh by direct CIA coup. The Shah by abandonment and calculated neglect after he seized the oil.
You cannot bully a nation that has watched you betray its leaders for 70 years and expect them to bow.
The playbook is the same. Only the names change.
Americans need to learn their own history before cheering on another disaster.

JUDE 1:3
“Contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.”
I felt led by the Holy Spirit to lay out this shameful history—the record of American meddling, the overthrowing of sovereign governments, and the unfair treatment of nations that simply wanted what was theirs. We, the American people, put Donald Trump back in office. We have a responsibility to hold him to account.
We need to act as Jesus would. We cannot stand by while he threatens to bomb Iran “to the stone ages.” That is not the language of a peacemaker; it is the language of the old, broken playbook. We must put pressure on President Trump to start acting like the Christian he publicly claims to be.
We remember the President we loved—the man who rightly bragged about being a peacemaker. He was so convincing in that role that Machado, the actual recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, gave him her own medal, declaring to the world that he deserved it. That was a profound, prophetic gesture.
Yet since that moment, he has done a complete 180. It is time for the Church and for every patriotic American to examine our history of foreign meddling and demand that our leaders, including Trump, walk in the footsteps of the Prince of Peace rather than the old warlords of the CIA.
🇺🇸✝️🕊️🕎 WAKE UP, AMERICANS!
Any questions or comments—I welcome disagreement and dialogue. I am happy to reply.
Jesus’ blessings and prayers,
Brother John
Candidate for President of the United States, 2028

PART TWO: THE NEW DOCTRINE — SPIRITUAL BOMBS, NOT BUNKER BUSTERS
My fellow Americans,
I have been warning about the evil that has infiltrated every level of our society. I have also been warning about the madness of endless war. As a genuine Volunteer Minister since 1993 and a Biblical Jewish Shofar Trumpeter who stood for Trump throughout his campaign rallies — blowing the shofar 30 yards from the Oval Office until the Secret Service told me to stop — I have been a watchman on the wall.
I was a Trump supporter. I believed he was God’s Cyrus — the peace president who would end wars, not start them. I stood in front of the White House blowing the shofar, facing heavy rejection, ridicule, and persecution. FOR TRUMP.
But on April 7th, I issued an emergency SOS message to the White House and to the American people. Trump had betrayed his promises. He had become a warmonger. He had fired his military advisors. He had threatened to drop nuclear weapons on Iran on Resurrection Easter Sunday.
I will not stand for unbiblical, unnecessary wars. And as your President, I will end this madness.
PART ONE: THE WARNING IGNORED
The Emergency Message I Posted on Facebook and X on April 7th:
“EMERGENCY! EVERY AMERICAN REPUBLICAN, DEMOCRAT, AND TRUMP SUPPORTER — CONTACT THE WHITE HOUSE AND WARN PRESIDENT TRUMP THAT WE AMERICANS WILL RALLY TO HAVE TRUMP REMOVED FROM OFFICE VIA THE 25TH AMENDMENT, REPLACED BY MORE LEVEL-HEADED VICE PRESIDENT JD VANCE, IF HE DOESN’T BACK DOWN FROM HIS WAR CRIMES BOMB THREATS AGAINST IRAN!”
What Trump Did on Easter Sunday and April 7th:
On Easter Sunday — Resurrection Day, mercy over judgment, life over death — Trump was already threatening to “completely destroy” Iran, cursing at them, and sarcastically saying “Praise Allah.”
Then on April 7th, he posted on Truth Social:
“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the FKIN’ STRAIT, you crazy b*stards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH.”
And in another post:
“The entire country could be taken out in one night, and that night could be tomorrow night.”
LET ME BE CLEAR: THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO TAKE OUT AN ENTIRE COUNTRY IN ONE NIGHT. NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
This is madness. Mutually assured destruction. The beginning of World War III.
PART TWO: THE TRUTH ABOUT TRUMP’S WAR
Why Trump Did Not Listen to His Advisors:
Trump fired every military advisor who told him what he didn’t want to hear.
The List of Those Fired, Resigned, or Removed:
· Joe Kent – Director of the National Counterterrorism Center. He resigned in protest, stating: “I cannot, with a clear conscience, support the war in Iran.” Trump responded by calling him “weak on security.”
· Tulsi Gabbard – Director of National Intelligence. She resigned in May 2026, becoming the fourth cabinet member to depart during Trump’s second term. She was increasingly sidelined from discussions on Iran operations.
· Navy Secretary John Phelan – Fired.
· Army Chief of Staff General Randy George – Fired. He opposed a ground war with Iran and refused to remove officers from a promotion list.
· Army Transformation and Training Command chief General David Hodne – Fired.
· Army Chaplain Corps head Major General William Green Jr. – Fired.
· Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse – Fired as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency after his intel on Iran strike damage angered Trump.
· The National Security Council – Gutted from roughly 200 staff to less than half.
Trump also changed the name of the Department of Defense back to the Department of War. The correct, better name was DEFENSE. He chose WAR. That tells you everything. His heart was never really for peace.
The Truth About Iran’s Threat — What the Intelligence Actually Said:
The Pentagon and US intelligence agencies told Trump the truth. He ignored them.
On nuclear capability:
· US intelligence agencies assessed Iran was not building a nuclear weapon and had not resumed its suspended weapons program.
· Nuclear expert Jeffrey Lewis stated: “There was no evidence that Iran was close to a nuclear weapon.”
· The IAEA estimated Iran had 441 kg of 60% enriched uranium — but experts said further enrichment to weapons-grade, plus weaponization, would take months and required a nuclear complex that had been destroyed.
On missile capability:
· The Pentagon’s own Defense Intelligence Agency reported in 2025 that Iran could develop an ICBM capable of reaching the US by 2035 — a full decade away.
· US intelligence assessments said Iran does not have ICBMs and would take 10 years to develop one.
· Iran’s missiles are short-to-medium range, threatening US bases and allies in the Middle East — not the American homeland.
On military advice:
· Gen. Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, warned that a war with Iran could drain US interceptor missile stockpiles and raised concerns about casualties and lack of allied support.
· CENTCOM chief Admiral Brad Cooper told Trump that strikes around the Strait of Hormuz had “reached its limit of effectiveness” and recommended halting them.
· Pentagon officials told Congressional staff there was no evidence Iran was planning a pre-emptive strike on US forces.
The Strait of Hormuz: The Strategic Catastrophe
Trump’s military advisors warned him: if he attacked Iran, Iran would block the Strait of Hormuz, which controls 20% of the world’s oil supply. Such a blockade would have greatly damaged oil and critical supplies, causing a global economic catastrophe and destroying the economic recovery that Trump was actually doing a good job with.
CENTCOM chief Admiral Brad Cooper advised Trump that the bombing campaign had reached its limit of effectiveness. He recommended stopping the strikes. Other military and civilian advisors influenced Trump to pause the attacks.
But Trump fired them anyway.
My Message to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:
As a Messianic Christian who believes in praying for Israel, I will support Israel — and I will tell Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the truth with respect and humility.
I will tell him: America will not get involved in Israel’s wars, or any other nation’s wars — including the European Union and NATO. My policy is that we will exit all these international bodies that are wasting American taxpayer money and breaking our budget.
We cannot afford to be the world’s policeman while we are drowning in $40 trillion in national debt**. Our **annual interest payment alone is now around $1 trillion — more than our entire defense budget. We are paying more to service our debt than we are spending to defend our own country. That is not strength. That is bondage.
I will tell Prime Minister Netanyahu that I pray for Israel and I stand with Israel. Israel is the only true democracy in the Middle East, and the only nation in that region pushing back against the spread of radical Islam. For that reason, I will increase America’s total military support to Israel to $7 billion annually.
That $7 billion will be the total package — covering Iron Dome, David’s Sling, Arrow missile defense, laser weaponry, and all defensive systems Israel needs to protect itself. No blank checks. No open-ended commitments. One clear number, fully accounted for, for defensive purposes only.
But I will also tell him the truth: American troops will not go to war for any other nation. That is not abandonment. That is honesty. A true friend tells you the truth — not what you want to hear.
We will exit the international bodies that drain our treasury and entangle us in foreign conflicts. We will bring our troops home. And we will put America first — not because we hate other nations, but because we have a duty to our own people first.
The Cost of This Madness: Over $700 Billion and Counting
War Start Date: February 28, 2026
Current Date: August 23, 2026
Days of War: 177 days
Daily Cost: $1.5 Billion Per Day
177 days × $1.5 billion per day = $265.5 billion
The True Cost Includes:
· Direct Military Spending: $265.5 billion
· Munitions Replacement: $67+ billion
· Oil Price Shock / Gasoline Increase: $100+ billion
· Inflation Impact on American Families: $50+ billion
· Depleted Military Supplies (Replacement): $200+ billion
· Veteran Healthcare & Disability: $100+ billion (over time)
TOTAL ESTIMATED COST: OVER $700 BILLION
The American people are paying for this war at the pump and at the grocery store.
The Depletion of American Military Supplies: A National Security Threat
The war has severely depleted U.S. weapons stockpiles, directly threatening America’s ability to defend itself:
· 80% of THAAD interceptors depleted
· 50% of Patriot interceptors depleted
· Over 1,500 Patriot missiles used
· Current Patriot stockpile: under 1,700
· Majority of ATACMS and PrSM missiles used
· Over 1,000 Tomahawk cruise missiles fired (at $2 million each)
· Will take 2-3 years to replenish stockpiles
This is a direct threat to America’s national security.
The Truth About Iran’s Nuclear Threat
Iran was never an imminent nuclear threat to America.
· U.S. intelligence assessments confirmed Iran’s nuclear timeline remained unchanged throughout the war
· The war caused only “minimal damage” to Iran’s nuclear program
· Iran could not have attacked America even if they wanted to
This war was fought for ego, not for security.
PART THREE: TRUMP HAS TURNED AGAINST HIS STRONGEST SUPPORTERS
Trump has betrayed the very people who fought for him:
· Alex Jones – The man who warned about the globalists and the war machine for years. Trump has turned against him.
· Marjorie Taylor Greene – She resigned from Congress and split with Trump over the handling of the Epstein files. She quit the Republican Party and is now considering starting a new political party with Tucker Carlson.
· Tucker Carlson – Another of Trump’s strongest supporters who has been burned by the King Lear madness.
Trump’s poll numbers have collapsed to around 30% — a record low for a president in his second term. 66% of Americans disapprove of his performance.
Trump’s King Lear Madness:
White House advisors have told Alex Jones and Robert Barnes that Trump has truly gone “King Lear crazy.”
· He now talks about how he wants to be recognized as a great leader like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Lenin, and Genghis Khan.
· He demands his face be added to Mount Rushmore — and posted a video of a golden Mount Rushmore with his face added alongside Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt.
· He cares more about golden statues of himself than about the American people.
· He has had Christian and Jewish leaders anoint his golden statues at the White House. This is idolatry — a direct violation of the Ten Commandments.
The Bible says in Exodus 20:3-4:
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.”
Trump has made golden statues of himself. He has had them anointed. He has demanded worship. This is idolatry.
The Bible says in Proverbs 16:18:
“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”
Trump’s pride is leading him to destruction.
PART FOUR: THE COST OF AMERICA’S OVERSEAS MILITARY EMPIRE
The United States maintains the largest network of foreign military bases in world history — approximately 750 to 877 military bases in over 80 countries. This is at least three times as many overseas bases as all other countries combined.
The annual cost of maintaining this global network is staggering. Estimates vary, but all point to tens of billions of dollars wasted every single year:
· **$55 billion per year** — The RAND Corporation and Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft estimate the annual cost of maintaining overseas bases at $55 billion. This figure includes construction, operations, personnel, and logistics, but likely understates the true cost due to classified facilities and indirect expenses.
· **$66 billion per year** — A letter to President Trump from military analysts, veterans, and scholars put the annual cost at approximately $66 billion.
· **$80 billion per year** — The Institute for Policy Studies and National Priorities Project estimate the total price tag at a whopping $80 billion per year.
· $85 to $100+ billion per year — Some estimates place the total cost of maintaining overseas bases and personnel at $85 to $100 billion per year, with the total including bases and forces in war zones reaching $160 to $200 billion.
· **$150+ billion per year** — The estimated annual cost of overseas personnel alone exceeds $150 billion.
· $36 to $39 trillion — Since 1946, inflation-adjusted spending on conventional forces totals approximately $36 to $39 trillion in constant dollars.
According to the Pentagon, the military has at least 19 to 22 percent excess base capacity worldwide, imposing billions in unnecessary costs. Every member of the military stationed abroad costs tens of thousands of dollars more than stationing them domestically.
The Hidden Costs
Beyond the direct financial costs, overseas bases impose enormous hidden costs:
· Environmental damage: Military bases are among the most polluted sites in the world, with PFAS “forever chemicals” contaminating over 700 military sites. In Okinawa, toxic waste has poisoned local communities. At Clark Air Base in the Philippines, environmental contamination remains decades later.
· Forced displacement: The entire Chagossian population was removed from Diego Garcia to build a US base. They have fought for over 50 years to return. Indigenous peoples have long been displaced by the establishment of military bases, which occupy and exploit millions of acres of land globally.
· Local opposition and resentment: From Okinawa to Djibouti to Germany, local populations have protested US military presence for decades, citing noise, environmental contamination, and crimes committed by US personnel. Okinawans have protested since 1945. South Korea has seen massive rallies against THAAD deployment.
· Status of Forces Agreements: US personnel often enjoy immunity from local law, fueling resentment in host nations.
· Blowback and terrorism: Critics argue that the base network provokes the very threats it claims to deter. Osama bin Laden cited US bases in Saudi Arabia as a primary motivation for the 9/11 attacks.
The Military-Industrial Complex
The base network serves multiple purposes: power projection, reassurance of allies, deterrence of adversaries, and — critically — sustaining the defense industry. Every base needs supplies, maintenance, and equipment. Defense contractors earn billions annually from overseas base operations. The Pentagon has resisted every round of Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) since 2005.
PART FIVE: THE WASTE OF ENDLESS WARS
The Cost of Endless Wars:
· Direct war costs in Iraq and Afghanistan: over $5 trillion.
· Brown University’s Costs of War project estimates the final cost of the post-9/11 wars at $3.7 to $4.4 trillion.
· U.S. aid to Ukraine: over $300 billion — and counting. This includes military equipment, replenishment of U.S. stockpiles, intelligence sharing, economic support, and other associated costs.
· Total U.S. appropriations for Ukraine have reached $187.8 billion, with an additional $64.5 billion already approved but not yet disbursed — pushing the final total well beyond $300 billion.
All of this money could have been used to:
· Pay down the national debt
· Rebuild America’s infrastructure
· Care for our veterans
· Support American families
· Share the Gospel with the nations
The Economic Destruction of This Foolish War with Iran — Happening Right Now
The Strait of Hormuz: The World’s Most Critical Chokepoint
· The Strait of Hormuz is the most important oil transit chokepoint in the world.
· Approximately 20% of the world’s oil supply — about 20 million barrels per day — passes through this narrow waterway.
· It also carries 20% of the world’s liquefied natural gas (LNG).
· Total annual trade through the strait is valued at nearly $600 billion.
This is not a hypothetical. The Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed right now.
Iran has halted most traffic through the strait, while the United States maintains a naval blockade on Iran-related shipping and ports. On August 3, 2026, Iran’s highest military authority declared that Iran will “under no circumstances allow any route through the Strait of Hormuz other than Iran’s route to be opened”. Iran has also warned it will target any U.S. warship that attempts to impose a different route through the strait. Meanwhile, the U.S. Central Command has confirmed that its ongoing maritime blockade has already redirected 44 commercial vessels.
The Impact on America — Your Wallet Right Now
Gasoline Prices:
· In California, the cheapest gas is now around $5.25 per gallon, with prices at many stations reaching $6.00 or more for regular unleaded.
Oil Prices:
· Oil prices have surged well above $100 per barrel.
· During the worst escalations, prices have spiked above $120 per barrel.
· The price of Brent crude, the global benchmark, has been highly volatile — spiking and plunging based on talks and military actions.
The Economic Impact:
· The World Bank has already downgraded global economic growth to just 2.5% for 2026.
· The IMF has similarly slashed its global economic forecast.
· Global energy markets are in chaos. The Strait of Hormuz, the Red Sea, and the Suez Canal are all under pressure simultaneously.
· Energy giants like ExxonMobil have posted record profits — $145 billion in the second quarter of 2026 alone — while American families struggle to pay for gas and food.
· This destruction has already cost global businesses at least $25 billion.
The Wasted Money: Adding It All Up

Cost of Strait of Hormuz shutdown (first year) $2 trillion+ in lost global GDP
Increased gas prices (per year for U.S. households) $300 billion+
Increased inflation costs (per year) $500 billion+
Iran War (177 days × $1.5B/day) $265.5 billion+
Overseas Military Bases (annual) $55-80+ billion
TOTAL WASTE Over $8 trillion
PART SIX: MY COMMITMENT AS YOUR PRESIDENT
A New Military Doctrine: Bringing Our Troops Home
If I become President, I will remove all U.S. military bases from every nation around the world.
Our military bases are ineffective, a waste of taxpayer money, and a source of endless conflict. We have spent trillions of dollars maintaining a global empire while our own country crumbles. The time has come to bring our troops home and protect America’s shores — not the shores of foreign nations.
1. I Will Apologize for Trump’s Unchristian Behavior:
As President, I will proclaim a formal apology to the Iranian leaders for President Trump’s unchristian behavior — threatening to drop nukes on Iran on Resurrection Easter Sunday, threatening war crimes, and ignoring his own military advisors.
I will declare to the world that my military stance is to bring America’s military back to the shores of America and protect America — not to police the world.
2. I Will Change the Name Back to Department of Defense:
On Day One, I will change the name back from the Department of War to the Department of Defense. The correct name is DEFENSE — not WAR.
3. I Will Remove All U.S. Military Bases from Every Nation:
Our military bases are ineffective, a waste of taxpayer money, and a source of endless conflict. I will bring our troops home and close foreign bases.
America should not be the world’s policeman. America should not be the world’s watchdog.
4. I Will Remove Our Entire Military Operation from the Strait of Hormuz and Iran:
I will not give Iran one dollar of American money. But I will apologize for past American aggression and declare peace through spiritual warfare.
5. I Will Invest $1 Trillion in Laser Technology with AI Integration:
Instead of wasting billions on endless foreign conflicts, I will prioritize investing $1 trillion into cutting-edge AI-integrated laser defense technology to truly protect America from any nuclear missile attack.
Why This Is the Right Investment:
· Current Spending: $265.5 billion wasted on Iran war
· Proposed Investment: $1 trillion laser defense system
· Current Reality: Depleted 80% of THAAD interceptors
· Laser Defense: Unlimited magazine — lasers cost ~$3 per shot
· Current Reality: Fired 1,000+ Tomahawk missiles at $2M each
· Laser Defense: Pennies per shot with unlimited ammunition
· Current Reality: 2-3 years to replenish stockpiles
· Laser Defense: Always ready, never depleted
With $1 trillion invested in AI-integrated laser technology, America would possess:
· Unlimited ammunition — lasers don’t run out of bullets
· Pennies-per-shot cost — compared to millions per missile
· Speed-of-light engagement — AI-enabled targeting at the speed of light
· Multi-layered defense — ground, sea, air, and space-based systems
· Counter-swarm capability — AI-powered systems can track and engage multiple targets simultaneously
· Zero depletion risk — America’s defense will never be weakened by running out of ammunition
6. I Will Close Unnecessary Overseas Bases and Save Billions:
The billions of dollars wasted on overseas bases every year — up to $80 billion annually — will be redirected to:
· Paying down the $39+ trillion national debt
· Rebuilding America’s crumbling infrastructure
· Caring for our veterans who have sacrificed so much
· Supporting American families struggling with inflation and high gas prices
· Sharing the Gospel with the nations
Instead of maintaining a global empire that drains our treasury and makes us enemies around the world, I will bring our troops home and protect America’s shores.
7. I Will Send Spiritual Weapons, Not Bombs:
I will encourage Iranians and the world to read the Gospel of John out loud with their voice. This is like a Bible chat with Jesus — it gives them the spiritual comfort that every soul needs in this world.
The Word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). It pierces hearts, changes lives, and brings salvation — not death.
8. I Will Encourage Prayer for America’s Protection:
I will encourage Christians, pastors, and spiritual leaders across America to unite in prayer for the protection of our homeland:
· The Blood of Jesus – For cleansing and covering
· The Word of God – As our spiritual sword
· The Holy Ghost – For guidance and power
· The Angels of God – To encamp around America and guard her borders
PART SEVEN: DROPPING SPIRITUAL BOMBS, NOT PHYSICAL BOMBS
The Mission:
As Commander in Chief, I have a Constitutional duty to defend, preserve, and protect America and Americans. I will do everything in my power to avoid war and military action. But as a very last resort — if a nation, an invader, or a violent drug cartel threatens the safety of America and the American people — I would be required to use the sword God has entrusted to leaders for defense and protection. That is the last resort, never the first. The Gospel of Jesus Christ will always go first.
Instead, I will drop the Gospel of Jesus Christ — the Word of God and Holy Spirit bombs — releasing prayers and angels over Iran, Israel, Russia, Ukraine, China, Europe, Africa, Yemen, Lebanon, Mexico, and the entire world.
This is the solution to the world’s problems — not threats of nuclear bombs, bunker busters, Patriot missiles, or all the other weapons of destruction.
The Blood of Jesus, the Word of God, and the Holy Ghost will be released as spiritual bombs upon the nations.
The Blueprint: Acts 2
When the Holy Spirit came down on the Day of Pentecost, people from every nation were touched by the Holy Spirit. People from Parthians, Medes, Elamites, Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, Libya, Rome, Cretans, and Arabs — all heard the wonderful works of God in their own tongues. Then Peter stood up and preached the Gospel. The result? Three thousand souls were saved in one day.
That was the first spiritual bomb dropped on the nations — and it worked. This is the blueprint for what I believe God wants to do again.
The Method: Sending the Gospel Through Media and Ministry
Instead of wasting trillions on weapons of destruction, we will use those resources to send the Gospel to the nations.
Broadcasting the Gospel Through U.S.-Funded Media:
· Voice of America (VOA) Persian and Radio Farda already broadcast into Iran in Farsi.
· As President, I will speak openly about my faith — and VOA will report on it as news.
· My personal testimony, speeches, and actions will be broadcast to millions of Iranians.
· Iranians will hear the message of hope and salvation in their own language.
Supporting Ministries in Iran and the Middle East:
· Grants will be directed to Iranian-American Christian ministries.
· Funding will support Farsi-language websites, mobile apps, and satellite television.
· Social media campaigns led by Iranian Christians in diaspora will reach millions.
· Censorship circumvention tools (VPNs) will help Iranians access the Gospel freely.
Why This Works:
· It’s legal and constitutional
· It empowers local believers who understand the culture and language
· It builds a permanent infrastructure for outreach
· It uses the tools people already use — satellite TV, social media, and apps
The Peace President — Economic Restoration
My Promise as the Peace President:
When I am elected, all of this changes. I will be a Peace President — and peace brings prosperity.
The trillions of dollars currently wasted on endless wars, foreign conflicts, and overseas military bases will be redirected to:
· Paying down the $39+ trillion national debt
· Eliminating the $1 trillion annual interest burden
· Rebuilding America’s infrastructure
· Caring for our veterans
· Supporting American families
· Sharing the Gospel with the nations
The Solution Is Not Weapons — It’s the Word
“They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.” — Isaiah 2:4
This is my foreign policy. This is my vision. This is the only path to true peace.
Not physical bombs. Spiritual bombs.
Not destruction. Salvation.
Not fear. Faith.
The Invitation
What I Am Asking of the American People and World Leaders
1. Pray for America.
2. Pray for this campaign.
3. Pray for the nations — including Iran, Israel, Russia, Ukraine, China, Europe, Africa, Yemen, and Lebanon.
4. Pray for world leaders — including the new Supreme Leader of Iran and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
5. If you agree that the Gospel should be shared with the nations, join us.
6. If you want a Peace President who will end endless wars and restore America’s prosperity, vote for John Rice.
SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT
The following scriptures guide my vision for America’s military policy:
Matthew 26:52 (KJV)
“Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.”
2 Corinthians 10:4 (KJV)
“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.”
John 12:32 (KJV)
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.”
2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
Acts 2 (KJV)
The Day of Pentecost — the blueprint for dropping spiritual bombs on the nations.
Isaiah 2:4 (KJV)
“They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.”
MY CAMPAIGN PROMISES
My Commitment to the American People:
1. Apologize to Iran – As President, I will proclaim a formal apology to Iranian leaders for President Trump’s unchristian behavior, including his nuclear threats on Resurrection Easter Sunday and his war crimes incitement.
2. Change the Name Back to Department of Defense – On Day One, I will change the name back from the Department of War to the Department of Defense.
3. Bring All Troops Home – I will remove all U.S. military bases from every nation and bring our troops home to protect America’s shores.
4. Withdraw from the Strait of Hormuz and Iran – I will remove our entire military operation from the region and declare peace through spiritual warfare.
5. Close Overseas Bases and Save Billions – I will close unnecessary overseas bases and redirect the $55-80+ billion annually saved to pay down the national debt, rebuild America, care for our veterans, and share the Gospel.
6. Send Spiritual Weapons, Not Bombs – I will encourage Iranians and the world to read the Gospel of John and find peace in Jesus Christ. As Commander in Chief, I have a constitutional duty to defend, preserve, and protect America and Americans. As a very last resort — if a nation, an invader, or a violent drug cartel threatens the safety of the American people — I would be required to use the sword God has entrusted to leaders for defense and protection. That is the last resort, never the first. The Gospel of Jesus Christ will always go first.
The Scriptures that affirm a leader’s duty to protect:
Romans 13:4 (KJV)
“For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.”
Psalm 144:1 (KJV)
“Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.”
Ecclesiastes 3:8 (KJV)
“A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.”
1 Peter 2:14 (KJV)
“Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.”
7. Invest $1 Trillion in Laser Technology with AI Integration – I will redirect funds from endless foreign wars to advanced AI-integrated laser defense technology to truly protect America from any nuclear missile attack.
8. Encourage Prayer for America’s Protection – I will encourage Christians, pastors, and spiritual leaders across America to unite in prayer for the protection of our homeland.
“The voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.” — Genesis 4:10 (KJV)
But Will Not Stand for Wars of AGGRESSION OR UNBIBLICAL- UNHOLY WARS.
A SHOFAR-BLOWING WATCHMAN WHO STOOD FOR TRUMP, BUT WILL NOT STAND FOR WARS OF AGGRESSION OR UNBIBLICAL UNHOLY WARS.
If I win the Presidency, I may be required by God to use the military — but only for a righteous cause to protect America and Americans, not to bully nations unfairly or to show off American military power!
