Postcards from the Empire: The Anti-War Movement is now the Anti-White Movement

On February 15, 2003, millions of people around the world protested against the U.S. invading Iraq. Now in 2026, Washington has apparently successfully decimated any type of large-scale anti-war movement.

Some twenty-three years ago, the United States government was getting ready to invade Iraq, again. The pretext for the second war against Iraq in 12 years was that Saddam Hussein had procured “weapons of mass destruction.”

That of course was a lie, as many suspected at the time and was quickly revealed as a hoax, but the war of aggression still took place, with untold numbers of Iraqis dying along with 4,418 U.S. servicemen killed and over 31,000 wounded, many with hideous injuries from IEDs. Over half a million Iraqi children are estimated to have died due to U.S. sanctions in the 1990s and early 2000s, but as Bill Clinton’s Secretary of State Madeline Albright infamously stated during a “60 Minutes” interview: “It was worth it.”

In the lead-up to the 2003 invasion, as the bomb-happy U.S. government moved troops, equipment and ships into place, huge protests were held all over the world. For example, on February 15, 2003, between 6 and 14 million people protested in over 600 cities worldwide against the impending invasion, considered the largest one-day protest in history.

Twenty-three years later the Empire of Lies again is on the verge of slaughtering another Middle Eastern country, one that hasn’t threatened the U.S. mainland and couldn’t damage the country even if it wanted to. The pretext, to the extent one is even given anymore, is that Iran is on the verge of developing nuclear weapons, a charge made over and over for the past 30 years by Israel’s Prime Minister for Life Benjamin Netanyahu.

The U.S. intelligence community has debunked Netanyahu’s charge on several occasions, but because it is Netanyahu, virtually all American politicians play along, as of course does the government’s corporate media arm. That’s hardly a surprise, but what’s noticeable is that the anti-war demonstrations that took place in 2003 around the world including in the U.S. are nowhere to be seen in 2026.

The UN is quiet. China and Russia could be stirring up a hornet’s nest of resolutions condemning the U.S., but aren’t. Neither is the “Global South” nor the BRICS alliance. And from millions of people in the streets in Europe and the U.S. in 2003, now it’s crickets.

There is no longer an anti-war movement to speak of. Why? Because smashing Iran is a major objective of Zionism, particularly the Greater Israel agenda.

Israel engaged in genocide in Gaza, and still is, and the “world community” was mostly muted in response when it wasn’t actively cheering it on. There are some notable voices speaking out against Trump’s subservience to Netanyahu, such as Tucker Carlson and a number of other commentators along with the usual sprinkling of patriotic Senators and Congressmen, but it’s far short of enough to prevent what’s coming.

If Congress doesn’t have to authorize war in this case, war against a country of 90 million people with a civilization thousands of years old and which is not a threat to the fatherland, then it’s undeniable that the U.S. President does indeed have unchallengeable dictatorial powers, something to keep in mind when the Democrats regain control of Washington, including the executive branch. The bloodlust coming from the likes of Susan Rice and James Carville are but a taste of what what’s left of America will experience in 2028 given the near total failure of the Trump 2.0 administration following a promising start.

Trump has tucked tail and run from Minnesota instead of engaging the leftist revolutionaries the way he should have. It only emboldens the communists and the elitists who engaged in non-stop lawfare during the Biden Cabal that there will be no accountability and they’ll be free to finish the job once Trump is gone.

The left flips out over a couple of comrades in Minneapolis being killed when they interfered and threatened ICE officers from doing their job. Yet they have no concern for the one hundred thousand-plus “people of color” Gazans murdered to sate Netanyahu’s bloodlust, nor for the untold number of Iranians about to perish if Trump gives the green light for war, and all indications are that he soon will.

The left is concerned about brown-skinned illegal aliens who have committed felonies in the U.S. They believe it is “White supremacy” to make any attempt to deport them. If you want to try to understand the admittedly insane mindset of the left, the key to doing so is that they will always take the anti-White position, or the anti-Christian position, or the anti-traditional values and morality position. They are committed to the complete inversion and destruction of the United States, from all the government institutions, NGOs, foundations, and universities to the street gangs they finance. And they will also always take the pro-Zionist, pro-Israel position, even though Israel is the world’s leading and most dangerous racist country.

Impossible to reconcile? Not to the leftist mindset.

What’s changed since 2003 is that the international left is now focused solely on replacing Whites and Western Civilization, in the U.S., in Europe, and in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and everywhere else Whites still reside. Iranians are mere collateral damage as the U.S. has morphed into an extension of Israel and Israeli barbarism and replacement ideology.

The huge anti-war movement of the past is now the huge anti-White movement of the present, controlled from the top down to street level. As always, what’s left of the fast-shrinking White population is squeezed from the top and the bottom by implacably hostile forces. Total degradation and replacement of Whites is the aim, and only the braindead who haven’t realized the fast-paced changes taking place demographically are still oblivious to what’s taking place at warp speed by any historical measure. Of course there’s always been a large number of naïve, easily deceived Americans and the number has only grown thanks to the development of advertising and the mass media.
