There were some of the squeamish left who squeezed their Kamala Harris blow up doll extra hard as President Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth gave a speech before every US flag level officer, be it a general or an admiral, in Quantico, VA today.
The speech was an anti-leftist, anti-woke reminder that things have changed finally for the better at the Pentagon. While many accuse me of being an anti-Trump shrill bitter conservative libertarian clinger, the truth is I will call balls and strikes as when the administration does something good, like the border being sealed up, I will applaud.
During today’s speech, Secretary of War Hegseth said the following:
SECRETARY OF WAR HEGSETH: “No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes in dresses."

"No more climate change worship, no more division, distraction, or gender delusions."

Thank you sir. It’s about time. Now let’s get rid of the 300 lb DI’s be they male or female that couldn’t hump a pack 20 feet much less 20 miles.
The background behind all of this started last week with this headline and story:
Why Does Hegseth Want More Than 800 Admirals and Generals in the Same Room?
Of course the story from The Atlantic linked above demonstrates the definition of hyperbolic hysterical leftist hyenas with this sentence:
Few things are important enough to justify the security risk of putting all of these people in the same place.
So the author, Tom Nichols, decided to go leftist nut job with that sentence since exactly, per media reports, zero generals and admirals were assassinated or demoted today.
But why all of the hysteria from the media, be it left or right?
Camouflage
If one wants to have a meeting with three or four key personnel about a major upcoming operation, you do so in a SCIF (sensitive compartmentalized information facility) and they would proceed to disseminate the information on as an as-needed basis.
But if you wanted to disguise the operation and meet with say 50 key officers of various rank, what better way to distract a nation’s enemies than to call off the officers in then have a side meeting afterwards in the dark corners of some CIA or secure room nearby.
But what kind of military operation would require a meeting of so many officers at once?
Maybe President Trump’s speech today provided a small clue.
🇺🇸 Trump: "We won the first World War, we won the second World War, we won everything in between and everything in before that and then we went woke.”

Eradication
There has been a pattern emerging in one particular region where there is a dual US foreign policy track to restrict Russian crude oil exports in parallel to an effort to crush Iran’s ability to export oil to its partners also.
The first steps have been obvious with the US eliminating India’s waiver of its ability to import oil and other products via the Iranian port of Chabahar as highlighted in this story by France 24:
US sanctions on key Indian project in Iran take effect
Meanwhile, the threats of further sanctions against China and India for importing Russian oil persist. From Fox News:
Trump demands NATO allies halt Russian oil purchases before new US sanctions
Meanwhile, OPEC+ is set to increase oil production even further which will put an even greater squeeze on prices for both Iran and other competitors to the Gulf States which are financing the United States to a greater and greater level of influence.
From Reuters:
Exclusive: OPEC+ plans another oil output hike in November, sources say
To support this theory, the increase in oil production and exports by major OPEC+ powers has reached a two year high as this story from OilPrice.com highlights:
Global Crude Exports Set To Hit All-Time High In October
Excerpt:
Previously, we reported that U.S. oil production has maintained its upward trajectory in the current year even as oil prices have remained depressed. According to data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), U.S. crude oil production hit an all-time high of 13.58 million barrels per day (mb/d) in June 2025, exceeding the previous record set in October 2024 by 50 thousand barrels per day (kb/d), and the pre-COVID November 2019 high by 582kb/d. Commodity experts at Standard Chartered have predicted that U.S. production will continue to grow before peaking at 14.34 mb/d in March 2026.
And now commodity experts have reported that global crude exports are repeatedly taking out new highs. Global energy consultant FGE estimates that global crude exports increased by 0.7 million barrels per day in September from August levels to 40.4 mmb/d, a slight uptick from August’s 0.6 mmb/d m-o-m gain.
These are not minute increases and are indicative of a full court press to eventually force prices down and squeeze Iran and Russia even harder. But what is the eradication end play and why is that important?
Signals
The internet is a fascinating place for SIGINT (signal intelligence) and never disappoints with false flag moves and fake stories embedded by foreign intelligence agencies to distract from real world events.
This is why the following information is to be taken with a grain of salt, however, the indicators of massive US troop movements, equipment being relocated to Israel, and a potentially offensive force increase appears to be underway.
It started yesterday with the sudden departure of dozens of US military refueling aircraft, believed to be dragging US fighter squadrons to the United Kingdom then the Middle East bases.
While this seems unusual, if one watched the first part of the war between Iran and Israel, it becomes obvious that something else is up. Especially since the Secretary of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani landed first in Moscow then in Belarus this morning. Add in the fact that Chinese and Russian military transports have been landing with great frequency in Iran for the past month and there is every indication that we are building towards some sort of crescendo of activity.
Add in the fact that the USS Gerald R. Ford battle group has reportedly transited into the Mediterranean tonight and that makes things even more interesting in the region.
The activity of USAF and Royal Air Force assets moving into the region along with the US Navy is not part of any scheduled nor normal military activity.
This is why this author would not be surprised to see the combined forces of the US and Israel with supporting roles from the minor European powers to attempt to end the so-called “Iran” nuclear weapons program once and for all sometime between October 4th and the 15th.
Within this time frame, a potential decapitation strike against the Venezuelan leadership might be attempted also as a distraction before beginning operations against Tehran.
Hopefully this is all bluster, but the fact that today the Secretary of “War” gave a speech that was of little consequence but great expense before all of this military leadership leads me to believe this was Pete’s way of screaming “squirrel” to confuse and obfuscate much larger events that are about to occur.
And perhaps, just perhaps, those investors at the largest international central banks and investment houses have been investing in gold for a reason. Or maybe this just ties together too neat and clean for many to accept as possible.
Regardless, may we all live in interesting times.
