The Secret Casualties of Iraq’s Abandoned Chemical Weapons

In a long expose highlighting the “secret U.S. casualties” posted Tuesday evening at The New York Times, journalist C.J. Chivers brings to light what has been suppressed for years by military officials. Between 2004 and 2010, according to the Times, soldiers found thousands of rusty, corroded chemical munitions throughout Iraq, though all were manufactured before 1991.

“I love it when I hear, ‘Oh there weren’t any chemical weapons in Iraq,’ ” former Army Sgt. Jarrod L. Taylor told Chivers. “There were plenty.”

In the run-up to the Iraq war in March 2003, the Bush administration made the case that Saddam Hussein was actively working to build and obtain weapons of mass destruction. These included claims of building biological weapons, chemical weapons, and nuclear weapons. The Times report, while revealing that Hussein did in fact have chemical munitions, notes that all were made before the 1991 Gulf War, and quite embarrassingly, often with US help.

Chivers writes:

In case after case, participants said, analysis of these warheads and shells reaffirmed intelligence failures. First, the American government did not find what it had been looking for at the war’s outset, then it failed to prepare its troops and medical corps for the aged weapons it did find.

In many of the cases Chivers highlights, explosive ordnance disposal personnel — believing they were dealing with old artillery or mortar shells on a roadside used as improvised explosive devices (IED) — disarmed them and sometimes put them in their trucks, being exposed to leaking chemicals such as mustard and sarin.

“This is mustard agent,” Staff Sgt. Eric J. Duling told his men over the radio, according to Chivers. “We’ve all been exposed.” Read the full story at NYT.com

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: America Has Entered Into A Golden Age Of Deception As The White House Becomes A 24-Hour Trump Propaganda Machine

The Trump White House Has Become The Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda In A Golden Age Of Misinformation And Deception

Donald Trump keeps telling America that we are living in a “Golden Age,” but that is not what the American people are living through. The people are staring at grocery bills that feel like car payments, insurance premiums that look like mortgage notes, gas prices that refuse to return to sanity, and an economy where every basic necessity has become a monthly ambush. This is not a golden age. This is an age of deception, where the man at the podium tells you everything is wonderful while your wallet, your bank account, your pantry, and your bills testify against him.

“Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.” James 5:3 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, the most dangerous lie in politics is not the obvious lie, but the lie wrapped in patriotism, applause, red hats, waving flags, and campaign music. Trump’s “America is back” routine is not leadership, it is performance. America is not back when foreign leaders mock us, manipulate us, flatter us when useful, and ignore us when convenient. America is not back when our own people cannot afford to live in the country they built. America is not back when Washington celebrates power while the citizen is crushed under inflation, debt, surveillance, and endless political theater. What we are watching now is not a pep talk, it is propaganda. It is the manufacturing of a false reality by a political machine that needs its people to believe the slogan more than the evidence right in front of their eyes. “Golden Age” is the talking point. “America is back” is the chant. “Winning like never before” is the stage-managed illusion. But the truth is written in unpaid bills, empty savings accounts, broken trust, and a nation that increasingly feels less like a constitutional republic and more like a managed population being told what to believe. This is how deception works in the last days. It doesn’t always arrive wearing a devil’s mask; sometimes it comes dressed in a suit, standing behind a seal, speaking in superlatives, and promising greatness while presiding over decline. America is being asked to applaud its own collapse and call it revival. The people are being told to cheer while the cost of living rises, the surveillance state expands, the debt explodes, and the world watches a once-great nation stagger under the weight of its own corruption. That is not a golden age. That is the age of deception. America’s White House has become the Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, and today we show you just how bad things have become.

May God bless you abundantly to the end my dear brother… ROMANS: 8: 36,37,38” Mireille Anderson
  • “I met you at the car dealership earlier this year. We spoke briefly, then you handed me a card and told me to check out the website. You left. A few minutes later, you returned to tell me not to forget to look up the website. I told you…” I already did. I already subscribed.” In that short time we spoke, I experienced from you…a total stranger…peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and love.

  • I just want to thank you for the teachings you give every Sunday night on radio.  You are such a blessing to me. I absolutely love your way of teaching the scriptures.  I don’t have a church where I can have fellowship and teaching, so you have been my teacher for many months now. Thanks God you are there for all of us who have no church to go to.  I pray that the Lord will bless you abundantly in your ministry, and your loved ones too.  You are such a blessing to me, and many others, in these last days before the rapture.  Thank you so much Geoffrey, from the bottom of my heart. May the Lord keep you, until He comes back for us. You are in my prayers.” Donald Godin
  • “Thank you for the work  you are doing brother.  Your page and your testimony were a blessing to me this morning as I came across it for the first time.  Thank you for the reality of your testimony and what God has done for you in introducing you to Jesus our Lord.  God has brought me, in salvation, to Himself as well, through His love and mercy and grace in salvation.  How can we praise Him enough?  How can we not share this good news!?  I pray this day for God’s blessing on your ministry that He may save many souls through the work He has called you to.  Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)” Mark and Melissa

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: As America Turns 250, Zohran Mamdani And The Democratic Socialists Of America Ironically Take Control Of New York City

Zohran Mamdani As The Socialist Kingmaker Is Turning New York Into A Political Machine As The Democratic Party’s Left Wing Gains Real Power

You talk about irony, man, this is one for the record books. As America is already knee-deep in celebrations of our 250th year of our founding as a Constitutional Republic, the recently-elected Socialist mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani has launched a coup. House Democrats were left stunned on Tuesday night after two of their colleagues — including the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus — lost primaries to left-wing, Mamdani-backed Socialist challengers. Like it or not, we’ve now come face to face with National Democratic Socialism under the leadership of a fiery, Jew-hating, charismatic leader. Hmm, what does that remind you of? Achtung!, America, the wolf is at the door, and he’s hungry.

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” Ecclesiasties 1:9 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Trump’s declaration that “America the Beautiful will NEVER be a Communist Country!!!” may sound like a bold defense of the Republic, but it collapses under the weight of his own actions. You cannot publicly warn America about communism while publically lending credibility to the most prominent Socialist mayor in the country. That is not conviction, that is contradiction. Mamdani does not need Trump to endorse his ideology; he only needs Trump to normalize his presence, elevate his status, and treat him as a legitimate governing partner. And Trump has done exactly that. Once that happened, the Socialist left has already gained something far more valuable than applause: respectability. This is how radical movements advance in America. They do not usually arrive wearing the uniform of revolution; they arrive through elections, headlines, photo-ops, federal meetings, political compromise, and carefully managed public relations. A man can be denounced as dangerous on Monday and then treated as a respectable stakeholder on Tuesday, and suddenly the line between opposition and accommodation disappears. Trump may think he is controlling the narrative by calling Mamdani a communist, but the more he centers him, meets with him, and speaks of him as someone he can work with, the more Mamdani becomes a national figure instead of merely a New York City Democratic Socialist. The real danger is not only Zohran Mamdani’s socialism, but the broader collapse of moral clarity in the American political class. At 250 years old, America is not being threatened merely because radicals are running for office; she is being threatened because too many leaders who claim to oppose radicalism are helping make it respectable. Today we visit the Democratic Socialist Revolution underway in America, and show you just what that might mean for our immediate, short-term future.
