Summary

In this explosive episode of Liberty Lockdown, Clint Russell dives deep into Joe Kent's shocking resignation as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, where he boldly declared that Iran posed no imminent threat to the US and accused the Trump administration of launching the war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. We expose the hypocrisy from figures like Trump, Ben Shapiro, Tulsi Gabbard, and Mike Johnson, who sandbag Kent—a decorated veteran who lost his wife in a prior Middle East conflict—while openly admitting the conflict defends Israel, not America. This isn't just about one resignation; it's a betrayal of America First promises to end endless wars, with real consequences like economic pain for consumers and risks to US troops. Watch as we break down the truth behind the war drums and why voices like Joe Kent's prove the anti-war message is winning despite the smears. SPONSOR INFO: Get $200 off Cove Pure by using this link.

0:00.0	For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covet means for expanding its sphere of influence,
0:12.0	on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night,
0:24.8	instead of armies by day. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are
0:30.8	buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. Believe it or not, that speech from JFK was given to the American people 65 years ago.
0:41.3	And as prescient as it is, it's unfortunate that it was not actually in regards to what we truly face.
0:48.3	It was really demanding censorship amongst the American news media so that we could prevail in the Cold War.
0:58.0	Nonetheless, his words have tremendous gravity, particularly today.
1:03.0	Joe Kent, our head or director of counterterrorism, as of about 24 hours ago, he resigned.
1:10.0	And with it, we got a brief glimpse into that secretive cabal that rules over us through
1:15.6	covert means.
1:16.6	In fact, we are waging yet another war on their behalf.
1:20.6	There was no imminent threat to the United States of America by the Iranians. There was a threat to Israel.
1:32.6	We equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the United States.
1:40.5	Then we are in uncharted territory. That is Senator Mark Warner, once again acknowledging what Marco Rubio told us that this was
1:48.8	a war in defense, not of America, but of Israel.
1:52.4	As I've shown you on prior episodes, just a week ago, we've got Marco Rubio, Senator Warner.
1:58.0	There was another Democratic center that said the same thing. He said, look, it's for Israel.
2:02.5	Pete Hegg said it.
2:03.4	Donald Trump said it.
2:04.4	I mean, it's not even a secret at this point.
2:08.2	So it's pretty shocking when the director of counterterrorism comes out and he says,
2:15.4	I'm resigning.
