Iran and Saudi Arabia have been implacable foes for centuries. Their competing brands of Islam get on no better than Brad and Angelina, and both nations contend for the same economic and political leadership of the Middle East. They are now each playing key roles in a shifting geopolitical landscape that has the United States getting the worst of it.
The United States and Iran became close allies in the decades following World War II. The Shah of Iran was a regular guest of the White House across multiple administrations, and the United States supplied the regime with the most advanced American military equipment and training in exchange for its oil. This cozy relationship began to deteriorate in the 1970s. It was finally ruptured by the cleric-led Islamic Revolution, punctuated by the deposing of the Shah and by the taking hostage of hundreds of American citizens by radicalized students in 1979. Iran would thereafter become the mortal enemy of the United States and of its most-loathed friend in the region, Israel.
For the next 40 years, Saudi Arabia served as the United States’ most important ally amongst the oil-producing countries of the Middle East. Time and time again, the Saudi princes would reluctantly yield to accommodate the will of the United States, even when it was not in their short term interest, or when it cost them with their neighbors. In exchange for selling oil at reasonable prices, they received U.S. military and technical support, while the U.S. government turned a blind eye to the regime’s oppressive treatment of the women, minorities, and infidel Christians in its midst.
The Saudis treated President Trump with a respect borne of fear. These same princes treat Joe Biden with a disrespect borne of contempt. By disregarding the pleadings of the Biden Administration to maintain output, […]
Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
