(ZeroHedge)—Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has joined Kentucky Republican Rep. Thomas Massie in slamming the Trump administration’s bombing of Iran, calling it a “bait and switch.”
“I spent millions of my own money and TRAVELED THE ENTIRE COUNTRY campaigning for President Trump and his MAGA agenda and his promises,” she wrote on X. “And Trump’s MAGA agenda included these key promises: NO MORE FOREIGN WARS. NO MORE REGIME CHANGE. WORLD PEACE. And THIS is what the people voted for.”
Greene continued;
“Only 6 months in and we are back into foreign wars, regime change, and world war 3,” she said. “It feels like a complete bait and switch to please the neocons, warmongers, military industrial complex contracts, and neocon tv personalities that MAGA hates and who were NEVER TRUMPERS!”
Greene also slammed the changing narrative around the nature of the strikes – with Trump saying on Saturday evening that Iran’s nuclear facilities in Natanz, Esfahan and Fordow were “completely and totally obliterated,” only for Gen. Dan Caine – chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff – to say the next day in a big walkback that the mission inflicted “extremely severe damage and destruction.” (as opposed to obliteration).
“Let me be very clear,” said Greene. “My children are 22, 25, and 27. I will literally fight ANYONE for their future. And their future and their entire generation’s future MUST be free of America LAST foreign wars that provoke terrorists attacks on our homeland, military drafts, and NUCLEAR WAR.”
“I am FIGHTING for them to have a future where they can afford to buy a home, afford insurance, invest for retirement, enjoy life, retain their God given freedoms, afford to raise a family under their Christian faith, not be in debt, safety and security, AND NOT HAVE OUR OWN TAX PAYER FUNDED GOVERNMENT DESTROY IT ALL.”
Greene has previously criticized US involvement in the Ukraine war with Russia. Last year, she joined Massie to file a motion that would vacate House Speaker Mike Johnson – a move that ultimately failed after Democrats teamed up with Republicans to save Johnson’s job.
Greene also appeared on Steve Bannon’s War Room, where she said: “Six months in and here we are, turning back on campaign promises. And we bombed Iran on behalf of Israel. Yes, it was on behalf of Israel,” adding “We are entering a nuclear war—the World War, the World War III, because the entire world is going to erupt.”
Massie, meanwhile, received quite the ‘truthing’ to from Trump over the weekend – lecturing Massie as “not MAGA’ and saying that Maga “Doesn’t want him.”
Critics have said that the Trump people now sound just like Bush-era NeoCons when it comes to taking ‘preemptive’ action over WMD fears in the Middle East.
Massie was seeking to introduce a war powers resolution in the House ahead of ‘bombs away’ on Iran. The conservative and libertarian-leading Congressman wants to legally prohibit American involvement in Iran.
At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
