Agree. I also don't see her saying anything other than her doing her job, sending it on to Trump who made his own conclusions and went to war. There is nothing about Joe Kent in what she said unless I missed it, which is possible.

Who is Joe Kent, and is he a double agent?
Having previously been part of the Obama administration, Kent also had issues with Nick Fuentes, and has been previously associated with the Democratic Party (2019-2021), and switching to the Republican Party (since 2021)

Laura Ingraham, on Joe Kent, suggests working against the president.
The FBI is investigating former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent over allegations that he leaked classified information, according to three sources familiar with the matter.
The probe predates Kent’s departure from government, sources told Fox News Digital.
The FBI declined Fox News' request for comment.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Kent by phone and email for comment.
Kent resigned Tuesday from his role as the nation’s top counterterrorism official, citing opposition to the U.S. war against Iran.
In a public statement, Kent said he "cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war," arguing that Iran posed no imminent threat and that the conflict marked a break from the administration’s prior approach to avoiding prolonged wars in the Middle East.
A senior administration official previously told Fox News Digital that Kent was a "known leaker" who had been cut out of intelligence briefings months before his resignation.
It is unclear whether the FBI investigation is related to those concerns or to a separate matter.
Kent, a former Army Green Beret and CIA paramilitary officer, was appointed to lead the National Counterterrorism Center in early 2025. He is a Gold Star spouse.

Trump’s Director of Counterterrorism Resigns In Protest, Blames Him and Israel For Iran War
The Director of the National Counterterrorism Center,Joe Kent, resigned this morning in protest of America’s involvement with the Iran War started by President Trump on behalf of Israel.
Kent posted his announcement on Twitter, stating he “cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”
In his resignation letter to President Donald Trump, Kent expressly blamed foreign Israeli influence not only for the current war with Iran, but also for the disastrous Iraq war prosecuted under former President George W. Bush in 2003.
“Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran,” Kent also wrote. “This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory.
This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again.”
Prior to being elected president, Trump expressly criticized former President Obama about the possibility of attacking Iran. Trump has now carried out what he accused Obama of being weak for.
Meanwhile, Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has an active warrant out for his arrest for alleged war crimes from the International Criminal Court.

Indirectly related. Day before yesterday, Israeli military plane landed in Belgrade, Serbia, and then something or someone was, with heavy security measures, transported to the Military medicinal academy (VMA, biggest hospital on Balkan):
Meanwhile, army in Hungary and Serbia started to guard gas pipelines facilities from land and air.

This appears to be a quote from a Fox News article, but as it’s not in quote box, it seems like it’s your own words, which can be confusing at times.
Can you please put the body of news articles and X posts in quote boxes @Ca.? I prefer reading the discussions and thoughts from forum members about the news, rather than a collection of mainstream news articles and X/Telegram posts.
As I understand Iran's ballistic missiles only have a range of about 3,000 km (1,864 miles).

I really don't know what to make of this one. Apparently CCTV footage was released by Al Jazeera..... with subtitles in.... Indonesian? I actually prefer all the AI stuff because it's certainly less brutal as well as less dystopian looking. Although, at 0.43 seconds, you can clearly see what looks like the Syrian resistance flag on a flag pole while a building is being bombed behind it. Very weird.

If we analyze the range of an intercontinental ballistic missile, it can reach up to 10,000 km. Lacking access to classified data on Iran's bombs and their delivery range, we cannot confirm whether or not they possess them.
My comment was merely a possibility. And unfortunately, even if Iran doesn't have this type of nuclear weapon, nothing prevents the "STS group" from lying about this information and making us believe the opposite. Anything is possible in their depraved world.

This mysterious video attributed to Al Jazeera is nowhere to be found on their website or social media.
Moreover, the news ticker has styling issues (the text should all be in uppercase) and spelling mistakes (ALJazeera, Isralli, Netan Yaho).
This is not to mention the logo and ticker color schemes are outdated.
Another article came out which lays out the consequences of the destruction of the refineries in Gulf countries. It explains nicely for the lay person the differences between the different types of oil refineries and why that is important. Very important! Refineries are built to handle a specific type of oil as they range from Light Sweet crude to Heavy Sour crude. Countries around the world has built massive refineries to handle particularly oil from the Middle East and can't just easily take oil from somewhere else. That type of thing only happens in Hollywood action movies.
It describes the consequences for the main countries and it is no surprise that the EU is the big looser. The US oil companies will win, Russia will win, China will weather it as it has over the last 2 decades built a huge strategic reserve, enough for 90 days, India will struggle with only a small government controlled reserve for 10 days. Follow on effects in the pharmacological industry, agriculture, chemical industry are outlined. Likewise is mentioned the problem which exists when you close an oil well as there is a risk for it to trap the oil there permanently. An article well worth the read.

Max Blumenthal does a great job of laying out all the manipulative, psychological and emotional tactics that have been used to pressure Trump into the war; how the FBI, Israeli intelligence and people within the administration are feeding and misleading him with false information and playing on his fears of assassination and harm to his family. What's so effective about Blumenthal's presentation is that he's able to cite many such specific instances, how they played out, and what their intended effects were.
In so many words, Blumenthal makes a good case for the idea that Trump's psychological profile was assessed and massive pressure applied on him when and how needed. But the presentation also makes the point (as we know) that Trump essentially made his bed by seeking and getting support from the Zionist billionaire class in the US - who he's now beholden to.
As a side note, its heartening to see videos like these getting viewed in the hundred of thousands in very little time. It's clear that a good deal more people in the West are becoming wise to what's really going on as was recently suggested in the last session when the C's said that, "This is a conflict that will reveal and teach many".

I would say it's AI because the people look too sharp in comparison of the usual CCTV footages. It's as if a "rendering" has been done. When one creates 3D objects on a computer software, there is a last step which is "rendering". It's polishing the 3D objects etc.
In addition, I feel those people match AI in terms of the usual artistic.
The Israeli flag is too caricatural I believe, too.
Good point
I think it has become an aspect of news; I have personally been through the same principle but in different areas (let's say "reality"). This makes me suggest that sometimes, we are required to deal with "this" and to find a way. The "least damaging way" comes to mind, as well as "dealing with incertitude". I encourage people to find a way to bypass this because I believe it's a matter of personal attitude: it is possible to diminish the frustration.
I understand one impetus is to find objectivity in order to relay it. Without certainty, we are bound to "speculation" and posting requires caution. Non-certitude. Perhaps, the old post about "unknown unknown's" may be of help, be it in term sof "strategy". I don't know.
Let me encourage people & members not to loose track that objective Truth "is", that it's intangible and that even if we cannot stick the finger on it as we used to - there is.
To me, it's like a tensed rope: who's what, why is this like that, etc etc. I take it like a crossing of the desert, during which information is scarce and during which I cannot trust my senses (or my basic impulsions).
I believe this has been a period, and that it is perhaps gone to the next step, which would be more clarity. Plain bombing of Israel simplifies quite a lot of things, and statements such as Trump's one (the tweet explaining how Israel went rogue on gas fields) too. So I am comfident that the muddy uncertain waters can find an end (or at least won't perdure).
I see a moment during which it was like a dark tunnel, with a light at the end (objective truth, solving of all the elements) - and that we kind of made it to the exit so that we shall have more clarity. That is a picturesque comparison, but I believe you are right in your saying, it has been very difficult to understand a couple of things. I believe when there is a lot of lies, it cannot stand, and the picture of the light at the end of the tunnel is simply the balancing, the resolution of a perdio which has been chaotic in terms of certainty.
Perhaps it's still "on", perhaps we will see more of it. Perhaps it alludes to one C quote, telling "things will become strange" (but I am not sure, because Joe asked, and the answer was that the strangeness would be quite surprizing - so something upcoming).
But I find it important that we identify when we cannot, for instance, correctly analyze things etc etc so as to reflect on it and "remain ourselves" - and that we be able to identify when such odd periods reach an end: kind of staring at acycle, and remaining "in charge" all the while through. After the rain, the sun.
So it's a bit about the information - reception
