Pentagon's Hidden Casualties / AI's Race to Superintelligence - The St. Louis Podcast: Episode #163

Now, of course, we've talked about it on this podcast that, you know, Trump initiated this whole, whatever, military operation that they're calling it, of course, war, you know, with Iran.

And that is the direct cause of our oil prices and our diesel prices as it stands right now.

Now, if you online, of course, the bootlickers for one side of the aisle will say that it's due to, you know, a pipeline, right? Biden, we want to blame it on Biden, even though, you know, Biden's been gone for two years now almost.

But we need to blame it on Biden for the, you know, the pipeline and other issues instead of facing the facts that our current president And a majority of our Congress is controlled and paid.

You know, not entirely because, of course, they're controlled by different industries, of course, that we talked about on this podcast as well.

But by one of which Israel.

Right.

They have essentially paid off the entirety of the Republican Party.

I believe the only congressman.

Excuse me, the only representative.

the house of reps is thomas massey is the only republican that has not accepted money from israel now if i have to sit here and explain why israel wants us to attack iran um do a history lesson and figure out that israel wants to be the the controlling power um you know in that area and if you look at the greater israel project of course as well then you will see the map of the areas that eventually israel would like to control And that all to say that our current issues that we are facing with gas, oil, you know, fertilizer, food, liquid, natural gas, et cetera, is due to one person making a decision to launch an airstrike and kill the old Khomeini.

And, of course, six months later, we're still sitting here talking about it.

Now, September 18th, the Washington Post reported that more American service members have died in the Middle East during the Iran war that the Pentagon has disclosed publicly.

Or, excuse me, more than the Pentagon has disclosed publicly.

The reporting is by Noah Robertson, Warren Strobel, and Alex Horton, and it cites six U.S. officials familiar... with the U.S. Department of Defense's internal casualty accounting data.

Five of the six say there have been at least 22 fatalities since the war began on February 28th.

The Pentagon's public database, the Defense Casualty Analysis System, lists 18.

A sixth official has put it at 23.

Three American contractors have also been killed.

DCAS separately documents more than 820 service members wounded in action.

The Pentagon has not explained the gap.

Of course, they're lying.

The Post reports officials did not dispute the additional deaths occurred, but that the department refused to answer its questions.

The identities of the undisclosed dead and when, where, and how they died remain unclear.

Officials familiar with the higher casualty number expressed frustration that the additional loss of life is not reflected in the Pentagon's public casualty report.
