Chuck Baldwin – Chuck Baldwin Live May 9, 2026
War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses.
Major General Smedley Butler, USMC (The most highly decorated U.S. Marine in history who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor twice.)
Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson predicts Donald Trump will again order military attacks against Iran as early as this week. He is not alone in this assessment. A host of geopolitical scholars, former military officers, former intelligence officers and academics are predicting the same thing. I sincerely hope they are wrong, but the massive military buildup in the Persian Gulf by U.S. forces strongly suggests they are right.
One thing is a fact: Iran believes an attack is coming, and they are “cocked-and-locked,” and maybe not locked.
Should Trump again “pull the trigger” and launch another bombing campaign—or even a ground invasion—against Iran, the consequences will be staggering worldwide. As I recently wrote, life as we knew it before February 28 (the day Trump launched Operation Epstein—excuse me, Epic Fury) is gone forever. But another attack will do more than change the world; it will cripple the world for decades to come.
America’s flagship newspaper, The New York Times, is often a mouthpiece for ideas and opinions that are flagrantly lacking in the principles of liberty, limited government and sound economics. But occasionally, the editors allow a sprinkling of truth to actually make it to the printing press. I happily came across such an article just recently.
Quoting The Times, published last Sunday, May 3:
Two months into the war in Iran, President Trump is confronting the complicated reality of a conflict that has proved costly and deeply unpopular, and lacks a clear endgame.
Energy markets are in turmoil. The Pentagon has given its first public estimate of the war’s cost: $25 billion so far. Key Republicans in Congress are growing impatient. And Mr. Trump is lashing out at foreign allies, like Germany, who have shown no interest in joining the fight.
Speaking to a crowd of supporters on Friday, Mr. Trump insisted he had no regrets.
“I did something that was, I don’t know, foolish, brave, but it was smart,” Mr. Trump said at The Villages, a retirement community in a solidly Republican area. “I would do it again.”
Still, Mr. Trump’s predictions of a relatively short-term conflict with minimal economic consequences appear to be crumbling around him.
“Unpopular” is putting it mildly. Almost NO ONE supports Trump’s war for Israel against Iran. That is, almost no one outside of the prostitutes in Congress (from both parties) who get rich off war profiteers’ donations—which in reality are taxpayer dollars recirculated from the taxpayers to the Defense Department to Palantir, Raytheon, Boeing, etc., and then back to the members of Congress.
General Smedley Butler nailed it: War is just a racket.
And did you see the thousands of people protesting Trump when he visited The Villages? This Florida community is among the reddest of the red. And The Villages absolutely hate Donald Trump.
“$25 billion” is a gross understatement. Many experts project the cost at $1 billion per day. Six weeks of war brings the conservative estimate to $42 billion. And I doubt that most knowledgeable people would argue that the cost to the American taxpayers is probably more than $50 billion so far.
But who’s going to quibble about $20 billion or $25 billion? After all, Trump and Congress are pushing a $1.5 trillion defense budget upon the American people, so Donald Trump and Lindsey Graham can attack countries like Venezuela, Iran, Haiti and Cuba. And maybe Brazil, Greenland and Canada after that.
Of course, Donald Trump has “no regrets.” Donald Trump has no conscience. His soul has turned to mush. And his heart has turned to stone.
Trump’s family has personally pocketed over $1 billion in just Trump’s first year in office this term. So what if 170 little grade school girls were incinerated within the first five minutes of Trump’s illegal war of aggression against Iran? Every innocent man, woman or child murdered by Trump’s Tomahawk missiles is money in his pocket.
Donald Trump is nothing more than a highly sophisticated, highly financed mercenary who gets paid by the body count. Trump’s subterranean apartment in Hell will be right next door to Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse-Tung and Adolf Hitler.
Mr. Trump on Friday described the U.S. Navy as acting like “pirates” as he celebrated the takeover of one of Iran’s cargo ships. On Saturday, a senior Iranian general said that renewed confrontation between Iran and the United States was possible, according to a report from the Fars news agency.
Mr. Trump has also acknowledged that military strikes might start up again. He told reporters in Florida on Saturday that a resumption of military strikes in Iran is a possibility, though he wouldn’t give details. “But you know, it’s a possibility that could happen,” he said.
Donald Trump is incredible, when you think about it. Ninety-nine percent of every word out of his mouth is a bald-faced lie. I mean, the man cannot say two sentences without lying. And yet, in the midst of his nonstop lies comes a candid admission. And what is even more incredible is that Trump’s Kool-Aid drinking toadies believe the lies and dismiss the odd honest slip of the tongue. It’s truly amazing!
Yes, under the orders of Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, the U.S. Navy IS “acting like ‘pirates.’” And piracy is a grave international crime. But neither Donald Trump nor any member of his cabinet nor any member of Congress (save Thomas Massie and Rand Paul) nor the Zionist-controlled news media nor most evangelical pastors and churches give it a second thought.
The rule of law? Who cares about the rule of law? And speaking about the rule of law, The Times continues:
The president has declined to ask Congress for permission to continue the war, despite passing the 60-day statutory deadline to do so on Friday. The administration has argued it does not need such approval because the cease-fire essentially stopped the clock.
Trump just makes up the rules as he goes along. And our congressmen on Capitol Hill do absolutely nothing to hold this rogue, ruthless president accountable to the rule of law. Absolutely NOTHING! They are absolutely WORTHLESS. Today’s U.S. Congress is as bad or worse than the Roman Senate during the days of the Caesars.
The Strait of Hormuz is expected to remain effectively closed for weeks, raising the prospect of prolonged high energy prices. Despite Mr. Trump’s claims of gas prices dropping soon, Secretary of Energy Chris Wright acknowledged last month they could remain elevated for the rest of the year.
Mr. Trump has responded by repeating over and over again — including at a state dinner with the royal family and in a speech about tax cuts in Florida — that the war is worth any surge in gas prices if it means shutting down Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
Hear Trump again: “The war is worth any surge in gas prices if it means shutting down Iran’s nuclear capabilities.”
What a two-faced lying sack of cow manure!
Our own intelligence agencies—including the U.S. National Intelligence Director, Tulsi Gabbard, just three months before Netanyahu talked Trump into attacking Iran back in June of last year—have repeatedly reported that Iran has never developed a nuclear weapon and has not attempted to develop a nuclear weapon since at least 2003.
Besides, after the U.S. attack against Iran last June, Trump gloated repeatedly that we had “totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capabilities. If we “totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capabilities last year, what is this war against Iran in 2026 all about?
We all know what the war is about: It’s all about following the orders of Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu. And Netanyahu doesn’t give a tinker’s dam about the United States or any other country on planet earth. He is hell-bent on saving his own presidency from the criminal charges of corruption that await him the minute the war stops and on killing as many Gentiles as he can.
And will someone please tell me why a criminal-terrorist state like Israel is allowed to have nuclear weapons, but Iran is not?
And if Trump and Israel attack Iran again, Iran’s retaliation will collapse the global economy—not for the rest of the year—but for decades, as the oil industry of the Gulf region will not just be damaged but destroyed. That includes the oil coming from the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Iran will also obliterate all of the U.S. military bases in the Persian Gulf (those not already destroyed) and also destroy Israel as a functioning nation-state. Not to mention, turning the lights and water off for the entire Gulf region.
As an aside, if the Zionist state is indeed destroyed by Iran, it would doubtless be the undoing of the antichrist doctrine of Christian Zionism, which is already in the process of disintegrating. Whether it happens during an imminent war with Iran or not, it is inevitable that the satanic doctrine of Christian Zionism is doomed. And when it happens, all genuine New Covenant believers will shout, “Hallelujah!” NOTHING has blinded the hearts and minds of people to Christ’s New Covenant more than the hellish doctrine of Christian Zionism.
A friend of Liberty Fellowship from Denmark is visiting with us right now, and he told me on Sunday that regular gasoline in Copenhagen is already over eight dollars a gallon. Another war with Iran will drive oil prices to devastating levels. We’re talking not merely about high gas prices but limited availability of gasoline products. We’re talking about empty shelves in the stores and farms with no harvests for lack of fertilizer, and, in some countries and local areas, no fuel to heat their homes. Parts of Europe have already implemented travel bans.
Donald Trump is on the precipice of plunging the entire world into a global depression—not recession—DEPRESSION. He’s turning every nation in the world against us. He’s deepening the hatred of our enemies and turning our friends into foes.
If Donald Trump does what it appears he is going to do and launches another attack on Iran, he will cement his place as perhaps the biggest failure of any major leader in world history and the worst president in post-Abraham Lincoln America—and the man who turned the clock backward on civilization for perhaps a half-century.
For the good of America and for the benefit of all mankind, Donald Trump should be removed from office NOW before he kills or starves us all.
LOL..
Donald Drumpf works for jewes…he’s a hollow man, hollow men believe there are too many useless eaters..so whatever the cost to muggles it’s a net win for the money printers and the spooks that lickspittle for ’em..
what part of that doesn’t this imbecile fathom..he’s had a hundred years of candid admissions from them to work it out… has he forgotten the recent shenanigans.. dear dear..he’s probably had six quakzines..mixed and matched..safe and effective.. locked up in his shithole..
that there..quite starkly, is why you lose..
lolo..
Everything the prez says is a lie, including his threats of using (non existing) nukes. There are no nukes. A deeply imbedded lie and hoax on humanity.
A few things:
Farming and Food :
Besides fertilizer…..the other crucial and more important tissue is ” farm land ”
Much of this vital land is being converted to massive Data Farms/Centers ( USA has approx 5,000+ , Much bigger China has only approx 1,000 ) and part of this scam is to cancel farmers existing water rights as water is needed to be diverted to cool the Data Farms Centers.
so..No Land + No Water = No Food.
QUOTE:
“….Hear Trump again: “The war is worth any surge in gas prices if it means shutting down Iran’s nuclear capabilities.”
Translation:
Can’t shut down a weapons program that does NOT exist.
If it doesn’t exist? then the agenda is HIGH GAS PRICES and insider trading $$$$$.
The basic working model is Netanyahu is deeply imbedded into Trump..physically and mentally almost 100% control. The fate of the world literally is in these (2) psychopaths’ minds.
THIS IS AND ALWAYS WAS ” THE PLAN “.. but actually.. no surprise..as “ALL WARS ARE BANKERS WARS”.
The global ratio is 6+ BILLION TO (2) PSYCHOPATHS the planet is beholden to.
This is how pathetic this world has become.
Enema meets Injection Point.
Zion Don the Con vomited, “I did something that was, I don’t know, foolish, brave, but it was smart,” Brave?!? Smart?!? Attacking Iran was neither of those things, you bloviating colostomy bag. Even “foolish” is a drastic understatement.
“Donald Trump has no conscience…..Ninety-nine percent of every word out of his mouth is a bald-faced lie. I mean, the man cannot say two sentences without lying.” True enough about that wanna-be mafioso degenerate.
Zion Don the Con deserves to get his tongue nailed to a tree stump and slathered with dog shit, vigorously flogged, jack-hammered in his asshole by a giant mechanical rubber fist, and a jar full of fire ants dumped on him….then hanged from a lightpost in front of the Mordorian embassy.
Chuck Baldwin went a bit off the rails when he blurted out how Zion Don would have an apartment in hell next to Adolf Hitler, while Zion Don obediently drops his pants and bends over a garbage can the moment some slobbering jew commands him to do so.
Iran should have continued until Israel ceased to exist. Putin is making the same mistake in Ukraine. The Soviets made the same mistake in 1945. Leave your enemy alive and they will always come back at you. These situations eventually condemn the supposed victors to a forever war. Imperial Rome had the right idea – Carthage was erased from the map, forever.

18.00 ” You have to ask / what does this African symbol of resurrection do in the middle of the Vatican / why is it that every Easter Sunday when the pope stands on his balcony & delivers his sermon about the resurrection of Jesus Christ ….
…there are 150.000 people standing at St Peter square surrounding that Teket / that oldest symbol of Resurrection…and every pope knows that story….
https://www.worldhistory.org/Egyptian_Obelisk/ “Herodotus was the first to write about them & so named them. The Egyptians called them tekhenu which means “to pierce” as in “to pierce the sky”.
18 24 : ” It begs the issue / not only people of African ancestry need to have their memory restored but people of all nations need to know the greater truth of an African story that has been hidden from most people on this planet”
19.01 : ” The Black Madonna …there are several / pope John Paul II is from Poland / Częstochowa (pronounce /t͡ʂɛ̃stɔ’xɔva/) there they have a shrine of the Black Madonna
19.11 Every time the pope went home he would go & pray at the feet of the Black Madonna……Black Madonna is the Greek version of Isis & Horus”

Anyway every body anywhere
h.a.n.d. have a nice day
CIA O
chuck pretends to be the Real Deal, but he isn’t. Trumpstein is the butt
boy of Satanyahu, just a sock puppet for Satan’s home Israel. not once
does he mention that both of them are “Chabad” jews (look it up) who
want to destroy the world so Lucifer, their savior, can return to rule the
earth. chuck worshipped israel and jews all his life until recently.
and Adolf led the complete revival of germany after the jews and commies
destroyed it. in the 1930s germany was the most cultured, happy,
educated, affluent, and sophisticated country in the world with Adolf at the
helm. america was farmers, blue collars, and hillbillies by comparison.
It is hard to say if people of the West have been made in the image of the corrupt ruling class, or if that ruling class is a reflection of the people and their base appetites. It seems that any kind of populist reform based on the more-universal ideals of right and wrong which we see reflected as principles in our various Constitutions, has been deemed as too expensive and a bridge too far by the ruling class. Hence, you can hear through the boardroom walls the voices of the magnates of the top banks and multinational corporations, as well as from the drawing rooms of the oligarchs, “Be realistic. We need that oil, and most certainly for our own sustenance over the next 30 to 40 years. Neither does China, Japan and India want to be held ransom to a bunch of Islamic fanatics, wanting to spread their creed. I say we stick with our efforts to take the place over, the way it was before 1979.”
With constant insurgencies, crippling sanctions, and Iran being No. 1 on the American, Israeli, and British hit list ever since the Iranian revolution when Iran took back and control of its resources, it is doubtful that any of the hierarches running such nations have the slightest intention of ending the war. This is their chance to tighten the noose around Iran’s neck, and they are now doing that by chocking off Iran’s remaining outlets to the rest of the world.
Except for Iran itself, there are now no real checks and balances from the people to restrain the US-led Western ruling class supporting this heinous and illegal war. Nor are there any real checks and balances from the people on any other major issue, either domestic or foreign. Nations such as Canada and Denmark just follow along in order to get along, snuffing out any significant dissent along the way. None of them can be considered as “democratic” anymore. In any case, what difference would a brain-washed majority make which has long since been stripped of any moral compass, with only a remnant daring to register their politically-incorrect views embodying their higher values in the public square?
Yes Babe, you have come a long way. Our secular-humanist, here-and-now mothering for the past 7 or 8 decades to neutralize our once-unified views on matters of right and wrong, first gave way to the lassitude of morally-relativistic neutralism, while at the same time it opened the door to the imposition of a new-normal pragmatic creed in which every former evil is being systematically institutionalized. We now solve our problems with other people by eliminating the people. We no longer first recognize reciprocal rights in all other human beings simply because they are human beings like ourselves. As we go about to nullify and debase the intrinsic worth of one one class of humans to suit our personal interests, we then go on to rid ourselves of other people and classes in our way, and right on to eliminating entire nations and cultures. Genocide becomes Kosher. Carpet bombing becomes “necessary”. Soon you find yourself also in an “unwanted” class by others with mor power, and a Black Mariah is sent around to your door for you to comply with your final government injection.
It is not just that the ruling hierarchs have induced us to go along in getting rid of the unwanted in our midst on the guise of our power over them They, for the most part, have even destroyed the virtues and the institution of motherhood, to the point that real mothers are a disappearing breed. So shallow and superficial have they made the purpose of life that fewer and fewer people even want to marry and have children. However, despite the birth dearth and their nihilistic views, they still want global dominance over resources and especially over oil and natural gas to fuel all of the systems they own and control which are their real babies. “Why not obliterate Iran?”. they ask.
Is there to be any end to the killing and plundering? If so, then where is it going to come from? If the people don’t care to ask if their life-styles and systems may be out of joint with what is real, then how can they expect the ruling class who claim to own everything including those systems to refrain from more wars and plundering? If the lives and goals of the ruling class are so selfish, corrupt, shallow, dishonest, and detached from reality to offer any real solutions, why do we go on expecting any just solutions to come from them?
The protection of own lives, freedoms, and security, can only come from us, and in that regard we have far more in common with the people of Iran than we do with the present ruling class.
Goal of our adversary: DESTRUCTION
