My Response to Tony Krekeler
By Erik Wallbank - March 7, 2025
Bill Holter, my default economist, is a friend and patron who posts my articles, and who I owe much of my economic education. Anyone not familiar with Bill’s site: billholter.com., is well-advised to visit regularly for Bill’s economic and political overview - and Tony Krekeler’s comments on my work.
Tony Krekeler, Bill’s close friend, came to me as a critic of my advocacy/work, prompting me to drive across 4 states to pay him a visit. There I made what I trust is a lasting friendship - salt of the earth - Tony. But, along with that, is Tony a misguided patriot?
Tony chooses to avoid geopolitical reality, preferring to keep a rural distance from the turbulence of the world. But now, when DJ Trump is conducting his traitorous, cult of personality, degradation of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, Tony maintains support for DJT. Though I never heard from Tony during a decade when my articles eviscerated the left, he now views my ongoing critique of DJ Trump as me - complaining.
Why does Tony see my critique of Trump’s Cult of Personality as complaints? He resides in a conservative far right, where he maintains some support for Trump - as backlash to the horror of the left - wherein he mistakenly sees Trump as a fellow conservative.
Having that view, as a devout Christian, Tony misses that Trump has usurped the 1st Commandment, role of God: "I am the Lord your God… you shall have no other gods before me". DJT, with no concern for what the voters want, has instead - defiled himself.
For Tony (relying on Christian scripture for his facts), I remind him that elected US officials are not beholden to any scripture - the oath they take is to the Constitution and it is the Constitution that is our common intellectual currency. Who we voted for doesn’t matter. What matters is adherence to their oath, and DJT cares not a whit for his oath.
Those like Tony, who don’t do the research, support what they refer to as breaking a few eggs, shaking the tree, as euphemistic expressions for traitorous/bullying/murderous behavior because they don’t see a progression to where this may end.
I share what Tony wants: the freedom to live a simple, unmolested life with God-given rights. A simple desire - usurped - little by little. Tony gets it right . . . we always lose. But Tony is stuck in the far right - and Trump isn’t there with him. Our 21st century political pendulum instead swings past the middle to either a non-liberal left or a non-conservative right.
As an example: a Zionist-controlled Senate considered the return of the War Powers Act to Congress - to whom it is constitutionally mandated. The Senate is an example of how undemocratic we’ve become. Consolidating power in Trump’s holy Executive, Rand Paul was the only Republican vote to take back the War-Powers Act.
Shaking the tree - yeah, sure. In the run-up to this last election, Trump reiterated 14 times that only a fool would get involved in the Middle East - and that he would never again conduct regime change. One year in office and he has initiated attacks and war, constitutional acts of aggression - for which he deserves impeachment, removal from office. Imprisonment?
Tony calls me an armchair quarterback. Does that make Trump, Johnny Unite-Us, throwing the long bomb - to save the republic? No, Trump is an moron, doing the bidding of evil morons, citing 150 days that he can conduct war. But wait - there has to be an imminent threat to the United States and Trump’s intelligence team asserts that Iran poses no imminent threat whatsoever. If there’s a threat, and there’s not, it’s for Israel, and Zionist perpetuated attacks on Iran (that negotiates in good faith), doesn’t do it.
Iran had agreed not only to get rid of its enriched uranium, it would also allow the mendacious IAEA back in to inspect. Iran went beyond that - allowing US inspectors. It didn’t matter, Trump’s in the grasp of Netanyahu/Adelson - MIGA. It was never MAGA.
What Trump is doing to Iran was defined at Nuremberg and coded in the UN Charter as an act of illegal aggression. Russia and China are watching Iran not holding back from killing Americans or attacking nations that support the Empire. Will this bring a change where Russia, the next time it’s hit with German missiles, take-out German factories?
Will Russia, in response to the assassination attempt on Putin now return the favor to DJT/Bibi? Will Russia, taking page from Iran’s book, see they can go tit for tat - even the scores?
The world is watching - askance. We’ve attacked Iran twice during negotiations - justice requires we be stopped. You hate Islam - fine. But Muslims have a forever tradition of being responsible for guests in their home - no harm can come to guests. Anglos don’t have that. We invited the 1st Americans to dinner and poisoned more than 150 of them. We attacked Iran twice during negotiations - this time we brought all-out war. Did Trump know about plans to kill Putin during talks - Did Trump kill Soleimani for nothing?
Not realizing wars are again being fought with strategy/preparedness, Trump is attempting to take over the world by shaping the narrative. And the narrative is lies. We are not winning the war with Iran - if so why is there a blackout of the damage being done to Tel Aviv and Haifa? Israel’s missile defense, touted to stop 85% of incoming, actually has a kill rate of 5%. Tel Aviv is said to now resemble GAZA. Because Iran refuses to negotiate with the Great Satan, whoever runs out of ammo first - loses.
Without getting too deep into geo-politics, what Trump is doing in Iran is for all the marbles - we have to win but Iran only has to survive. The US has no plan but to lie its way forward. Tony gets his war news from Stars and Stripes - the war department rag. There he finds Hegseth’s casualty numbers - 6 Americans killed. That could just as easily find its way into history as 600/6000. But Trump and Hegseth ain’t telling.
I don’t care for predictions but Ill make one. We lose this war - no matter how the narrative is played. Iran might be able to do it themselves, but, however that play out, Russia and China will not allow Trump to play his perceived role of God. Iran will survive. The world will stop US/Israel.
Tony and I are in agreement about the basics of life: the desire to help one another has been transferred to citizens begging the government for help - resulting in a sick, bloated government, with citizens as pawns.
Something has to happen - and it can’t be meaningless compromise. The Constitution mandates that citizens enforce the laws of the United States. The Constitution clearly identifies D.J. Trump as a common criminal.
