A Snapshot of Three Republicans on Syria
With the usual disclaimers presented that none of us knows all the details of what’s happening anywhere, in particular the Middle East, according to the narrative movements on the battlefield, going back to February 2022 for our purposes, it is a given that the Syria story is yet the latest where conservatives and liberals are hunkering down in their respective camps.
Personally, I believe all of this is meant to, slowly out of necessity, expose to the world who the true enemy, who the true boogeyman is.
And inside that exposure is a ton of moves and countermoves, which makes it safer to observe things from a bird’s eye view, to let things settle and see where the new dispersion goes.
Obviously Trump’s ALL CAPS post saying Syria is none of our business is important here. He is drawing attention to something while establishing layers of distance, not unlike 2013 when he was blaming the Syrian situation on Obama and Clinton. He’s also on record as saying this:
The more I study, the more I see the extent of the tentacles of Obama and Clinton. The next step is to recognize what country in the Middle East benefited most from it all.
There’s a reason the pardon of Hunter Biden went back to 2014. It is an invitation to investigate, and perhaps the best place to investigate is the new public square–X. It’s not just the initial posts; the true conversation and meat of it all comes from what We the People say in the comment section. That is where patriots are doing the fighting.
Here are three Republicans’ views on X, and I implore you to dig further and investigate through the comment sections. It’s more than just opinion-based comments; digital soldiers are actually coming with documented proof of things, with receipts. There is a consistency the world is starting to realize. It is this consistency that is, day by day, defeating a most pernicious propaganda machine that goes back decades and decades and decades.
For instance, you’ll learn a lot about John McCain.
And don’t forget amidst all of this, perhaps the biggest loser every time something like this happens is Christians. All of it is why I keep such a close eye on Trump. His words, posts, and actions are not at all consistent, which indicates, on the hopeful side, irregular narrative warfare, or on the not-so-hopeful side, political manipulation meant to deceive even his supporters. It also indicates that there are other pieces on the gameboard to listen to, that ultimately, it is up to the People ourselves to come to the truth and fight for this freedom we so claim to value.
Remember, follow the message of the messengers. Follow the narrative being created. And distrust of the Mockingbird media should be our baseline before any further evaluation.

By the way, speaking of narratives, don’t forget to order what would be a great gift for Christmas! Young adult novel that can speak to any adult all the same:
May everyone named directly or referenced indirectly ask forgiveness and do penance for their sins against America and God. I fight this information war in the spirit of justice and love for the innocent, but I have been reminded of the need for mercy and prayers for our enemies. I am a sinner in need of redemption as well after all, for my sins are many. In the words of Jesus Christ himself, Lord forgive us all, for we know not what we do.
