Chicken-Hawks
Chicken-Hawk: Someone who sends, or intends to send, other people to die for their own ambitions or ulterior motives.
Who are the biggest Chicken-Hawks in today’s world?
How about French President Emmanuel Macron? British Foreign Secretary David “Lord” Cameron? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu? U.S. President Joe Biden?
That’s enough to start on.
Macron
France has been a second-rate power since the defeat of Napoleon. 19th century France had too many presidents, emperors, and cabinets to count. Germany crushed France in weeks in the Franco-Prussian War, the biggest European war of the period. France and Russia were then roped into World War I by Great Britain, which used them as cannon fodder in its obsession of annihilating Germany until the Americans arrived on the scene to finish the dirty work.
The story was repeated with World War II, with France again smashed until they were bailed out once more, this time by the Soviets on the Eastern Front and the Americans on the Western. Now, France plays second fiddle to Germany in the EU without anyone taking the country seriously on any matter of importance. France today is mainly a tourist attraction. It is even being kicked out of West Africa by its former colonies who are tired of being manipulated.
French President Emmanuel Macron has been supporting the U.S. proxy war against Russia in Ukraine by failing to honor the French commitments at Minsk to guarantee a peaceful settlement, by supplying weapons to Ukraine that have been used to kill Donbass civilians, and by allowing French mercenaries to fight. Now Macron wants to send 20,000 French troops into Ukraine to make a further statement against Russia.
Macron has been trying to get Britain and the U.S. to support him, with British foreign minister David “Lord” Cameron evidently taking the bait. Russia has said any NATO troops setting foot on Ukraine will be destroyed, and they mean it. Alex Christoforou of The Duran says that Macron is trying to start World War III, hoping as with the previous two world wars, that the U.S. will ride to Europe’s rescue. Of course, starting big wars is a time-tested method of dodging domestic problems which France and the West have in spades.
From my perspective, trying to draw in the U.S. against Russia in what would likely become a nuclear holocaust, qualifies Macron as a Chicken-Hawk.
Of course, it’s not all Macron’s fault. He got the training for his current job while working as a Rothschild banker, and we all know that the Rothschilds own France.
“Lord” Cameron
Don’t get me wrong, the Rothschilds own Great Britain too. Reportedly, head financier Nathaniel Rothschild, the 5th Baron Rothchild, recently sent a letter to the British government demanding that Ukraine win its war against Russia and that Russian President Vladimir Putin be gotten rid of.
So former British P.M. David Cameron was made a “Lord,” evidently so he wouldn’t have to answer questions on foreign policy in the House of Commons, then was appointed as Britain’s foreign minister. While P.M. from 2010 to 2016, Cameron had joined with Hillary Clinton in bombing Libya to destruction (a real NATO triumph) and assassinating Libyan President Qaddafi. (Remember Clinton’s gloating words: “We came, we saw, he died.”)
Cameron has now told Macron that, yeah, a new British-French entente would be a great step forward toward world peace. Again, it’s just like World War I and II, where the only way the British Empire was able to stay on its feet, was with the Americans—and Soviets in WWII—riding to the rescue. Of course, Britain lost its colonies in WWII, but was still able to secure Palestine for the Jews and keep financial control of half the world from the money-laundering center of the City of London and its outliers in the Cayman Islands, etc.
Britain has taken the lead in keeping Ukraine from making peace with Russia since early 2022, when then-P.M. Boris Johnson got Ukraine’s Zelensky to back off a signed agreement with Russia for a cease-fire. Britain has also flooded Eastern Europe and West Asia with MI6 operatives (as has the CIA) and hired jihadists to stir the pot by trying to keep Russia under attack and off-balance. Britain has had an abiding hatred toward Russia since the days of the “Great Game,” despite being willing to use Russia as a wartime ally as needed before stabbing them in the back as Churchill did after World War II.
Britain’s own army is virtually non-existent. A retired British commanding general has said their army would not last for two weeks against Russia in the field. Days ago, “Lord” Cameron paid a visit to the U.S. to demand release of the $61 billion in aid to Ukraine promised by President Joe Biden, but he was rebuffed by presidential candidate Donald Trump, while Speaker of the House Mike Johnson refused even to meet with him. Along with other Chicken-Hawks, like U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, “Lord” Cameron declared the money spent by the U.S. on using Ukraine to weaken Russia to be a “good investment.”
It’s Cameron’s joining with Macron in trying to draw the U.S. into World War III against Russia—with China obviously included—that qualifies him as a Chicken-Hawk.
Netanyahu
Labeling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a Chicken-Hawk is a walk in the park. Slaughtering over 33,000 defenseless Palestinian civilians, a majority women and children, along with health care and relief workers and journalists, for any reason is a prima facie case, plus suppositions that part of his motive was to escape corruption charges in the Israeli courts. A majority of the world sees what Israel is doing as outright and unabashed genocide, with more evidently to come. Now we have the bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus in an apparent attempt to draw Iran into a major conflict that could very well be the provocation needed to provoke World War III on the Middle Eastern node of the Anglo-American-Zionist Empire.
‘Nuff said about Chicken-Hawk Netanyahu.
Biden
To pick up on a previous point, obviously, the Rothschilds have always had a stake in America as well as Britain and France, but we have had plenty of homegrown financial oligarchs. Right now it’s the hedge fund oligarchs running places like J.P. Morgan Chase, BlackRock, Vanguard, Goldman Sachs, the Rockefeller Foundation, and others who rule over the system and dole out cash to politicians who do their bidding, Biden included. And together the oligarchs worldwide seem to have pooled their resources in supporting the WEF and its “Great Reset,” which translated is a massive program of population reduction.
But on to Biden. While a leader of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Biden was the strongest Senate backer of President George W. Bush’s wars against Afghanistan and Iraq. As Obama’s vice-president, Biden was the Obama administration’s point man, along with Victoria Nuland, the foremost U.S. Neocon, for the 2014 coup against the democratically-elected government of Ukraine.
Biden is strongly believed to have used his official position as vice-president and later president to enrich himself and his family, including through his son Hunter’s board membership with Burisma, the Ukrainian energy firm. Biden and his administration can be credibly accused of perpetrating serial instances of “lawfare” against his main political opponent, Donald Trump. Biden is complicit in the fake Covid pandemic and in supporting the WHO and Bill Gates in preparation for the next one, with an upcoming May 2024 vote on the WHO Pandemic Treaty expected to give the WHO dictatorial powers.
Election manipulation seems to have been a specialty of the Democratic National Committee’s backing of Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Biden in 2020, when both Biden and Clinton maneuvered their way around Bernie Sanders to secure the presidential nomination. Now, in 2024, Biden has refused to grant Secret Service protection to independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., even as the DNC launches its own dirty tricks campaign against Kennedy.
Of course, we have yet to see if the 2024 election will even be held. There are reports that with the early retirements of several Republican congresspersons, the House may swing to the Democrats where it could cancel the election results if Trump wins.
While claiming the U.S. is not a party to the conflict in Ukraine, the Biden administration has been provoking all-out war with Russia and threatening war with China, even while Biden runs for president at the age of 81 when he can barely speak a coherent sentence. Continuing to supply Israel with weapons for its assaults in Gaza and the West Bank, Biden is complicit in Netanyahu’s genocidal vendetta.
Further, Biden and his Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas have been destroying the country by fostering massive illegal immigration, with rumors now afloat that their purpose is to recruit a huge mercenary army to be launched against Russia, China, and their allies in World War III. This would be an attempt to deal with the fact that the American and European publics do not support such a war. Biden steadfastly refuses to take responsibility for his actions and for what he has done to this country, even as the plans for future disasters are being laid.
But there is one more thing. Biden started the proxy war against Russia in Ukraine (see my book Our Country, Then and Now) for which his intent was to “fight to the last Ukrainian,” without risking American lives. Millions of Ukrainians have fled from their homes to save their lives in this war. Probably a million young Ukrainians who stayed behind have been killed or seriously wounded with many more to come. Such psychopathy, added to the millions of deaths worldwide in other wars Biden has supported, fully qualifies Biden to be named the biggest Chicken-Hawk of all.
Conclusion
So much can and should be said here, but let me ask just one pertinent question. Are the billions of intelligent, caring people in the world who just want to live and let live for their own sake and the sake of future generations going to let this gang of Chicken-Hawks and the people in their employ destroy human life on earth and/or reduce human society to a totalitarian anthill?
More specifically, will the rest of 2024 see a Disease X “plandemic,” a canceled 2024 presidential election, then all-out world war going nuclear?
It seems possible, if not likely, with Chicken-Hawks like these in charge.

A Personal Statement
Finally, let me emphasize that I am not making these rather “strong” statements as a partisan of Russia, China, Iran, or any other foreign nation or combination of foreign nations. I am a proud 32-year veteran of the federal government’s civil service and a loyal citizen of the U.S. My ancestors have served our nation going back to the Revolutionary War.
But I am deeply opposed to the catastrophic trajectory of U.S. foreign policy over the past several decades under the regime of endless war. I am deeply opposed to the malign influence of the military-industrial complex over all aspects of American life. I am deeply opposed to the covert manipulation of government policy by the agencies of the Deep State. I am deeply opposed to the self-serving exercise of hidden power by the financial oligarchy headquartered in Wall Street. I am deeply opposed to the dark influence over U.S. foreign policy by the faction known as the Neocons whose loyalties so obviously lie elsewhere.
I believe U.S. foreign policy can and should perform an about-face, where it becomes a force for peace and good in the world instead of war and hatred. This means reaching accommodation and striving for cooperation and friendship with countries now considered “adversaries” or even “enemies.”
Those of us within the U.S. who honor such ideals need to take action now to assure that the U.S. and the rest of the world has a future.
