The Image of an Antisemite Classified Leaker & Hate-Israel Propagandist

If anyone dares to connect the dots available, a Joe Kent picture emerges that connects to (so-called) Conservative Antisemites/Hate-Israel crowd. This is a crowd that exists lies, half-truths and sad Jew-Hatred.

Joe Kent Own X-Words Demonstrate LIAR (TGP Photo of screengrab – Original TGP Post 3/18/26)

 

Via The Gateway Pundit 3/18/26:

 

“That single post directly contradicts Kent’s current claim. In 2020, Kent was calling for Trump to “wipe out” Iranian capabilities. Today, he claims Iran is “no threat.” What changed?

 

The Gateway Pundit dug through Joe Kent’s entire X history on Iran, and the flip-flopping is staggering.

 

On April 20, 2024, Kent warned that “Iran is poised to attack” and blamed the “DC war machine” for leaving US troops vulnerable.” …MORE TO READ AT TGP TITLE, “President Trump Just ENDED Joe Kent’s Entire Career With One Brutal Screenshot of an Old Tweet”

 

TGP examination of Joe Kent X-Tweet history for me is an illustration that at best Kent is liar and at worst was an anti-Israel (probably Antisemite) backstabbing mole for a crowd (so-called Conservative) Antisemites throwing hate-Israel mud on the wall hoping it will stick. Sadly, Tucker Carlson is emerging is a leader of this group of Antisemites. Carlson conducted a post-resignation interview with Kent which highlighter much of the lies and half-truths Carlson promotes these days. (My Mom used to tell me a half-truth is also a half-lie. Two halves that negate each other is unsupportable and therefore cancels out any positive.)

 

Joe Kent is being investigated as a Classified Leaker by the FBI even before his hypocritical resignation. One has to wonder if Carlson was fed/leaked some of that Classified information.

 

I have noticed the MSM that is infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is promoting Kent’s lies as facts. So let’s look at some dots that paint a different picture. First from 3/18/26:

I like the One America News post from 3/19/26. The dots connecting an image of a liar are there. If you are a Jew-Hater, I suspect the lead in your pencil will break and the dot-connecting will fail blinded by Antisemitic hate.

2:23 PM – Thursday, March 19, 2026

One American News

 

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has reportedly been investigating former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent — who recently resigned “in protest” of the United States’ ongoing conflict with Iran — citing alleged leaks of classified information, according to multiple sources familiar with the case.

 

The FBI investigation into Kent predates his resignation. According to sources cited by Semafor and CBS News, the probe has been active for months, and it did not start as a sudden reaction to his resignation letter.

 

Administration officials told Axios that Kent had been labeled a “known leaker” well before his departure. This reputation was reportedly why he had already been barred from certain high-level presidential briefings and excluded from key discussions regarding Iran.

 

On Tuesday, Kent resigned as the director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC), claiming that he stepped down in protest of the ongoing U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran. Kent emphasized in his resignation letter that he “cannot in good conscience” support the conflict, suggesting that this was the reason for his departure.

 

He also boldly claimed that Iran poses “no imminent threat” while alleging that the U.S. was pressured by Israel into joining the military effort.

 

“After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today,” Kent wrote on X. “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran”

Trump administration officials have quickly dismissed Kent’s claim that the “imminent threat” from Iran was a manufactured fiction, maintaining that his allegations carry no weight since he was long excluded from high-level Iran intelligence briefings.

 

Nonetheless, Kent has countered that as the NCTC director, his agency should have been the primary body tracking the tactical details of any potential strike; and because his “analysts” found no such evidence, he concluded the conflict’s justification was merely a “misinformation campaign” fueled by Israeli influence and outside lobbyists. Kent also argues that his exclusion from these briefings was a calculated move to “freeze out” any possible dissenting voices.

 

However, the White House responded back by explaining that Kent was purposely kept in the dark solely due to an ongoing FBI investigation into his alleged government leaks, asserting that the intelligence was so sensitive it remained on a “need-to-know” basis that Kent — deemed untrustworthy and “weak on security” — no longer met.

 

Another source confirmed to NewsNation on Wednesday that the investigation into Kent was already well underway by the time he left his post. Officials reiterated that he had been “a known leaker” and was thus left out of briefings with the president. [Blog Editor Bold Text Emphasis.]

 

“He left quite an online paper trail, and he has been monitored for months,” a source familiar with the investigation told Axios. “He’s going to try to say this was in retaliation for his resignation, but it’s the other way around: He quit because he’s under investigation and he knew it.”

 

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also recently stated in a press briefing that Kent’s resignation letter had contained a slew of “false claims,” emphasizing that Kent’s theory that Trump was convinced by a foreign country to incite the conflict was both false, “insulting” and “laughable.”

 

 

Kent “was not involved in any of the discussions” before or during Operation Epic Fury, and had not had a role in drawing up the president’s intelligence briefings in “a while,” she told Fox News during an interview on Wednesday.

 

Later on Wednesday, Kent also appeared in a two-hour interview with podcaster Tucker Carlson, a fellow critic of the administration’s support for Israel who has since utilized his platform to attract the anti-Israel conservative base. During the sit-down, Kent pushed back against Leavitt’s assertions.

 

“I’m sure the administration will come out and say, ‘No, you just weren’t invited,’ but I’ve got a pretty good idea of how those meetings look, and even if I wasn’t invited, I at least would’ve known that they took place,” he confidently told Carlson.

 

However, as of now, Kent has not provided any direct physical evidence to substantiate his claims. Rather, his “evidence” consists of his own personal theories and a series of circumstantial “data points” that he shared during his recent interview with Carlson. In the discussion, Kent also claimed that Iran’s late Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in the initial strikes, had actually been “moderating” the nuclear program in order to avoid a full-scale war, Military.com reported.

 

“Joe Kent was right. Therefore, Joe Kent must be destroyed,” Carlson said rhetorically, attempting to position Kent as a sort of martyr. “And there is, of course, this ongoing effort to do that, to dismiss Joe Kent as a tool of the Islamists, or a leaker.”

 

Responding to the resignation, President Trump remarked that Kent’s departure actually turned out to be a positive development, noting, “When I read his statement, I realized it’s a good thing that he’s out, because he said Iran is not a threat.”

 

“Every country realized what a threat Iran was,” Trump added, referencing the numerous nations who have since come out in support of the United States and Israel’s military campaign to topple the Islamic regime.

 

While the United Kingdom (UK) and Spain initially withheld consent for the use of their bases, the UK reversed its stance following Iranian strikes on a British air base in Cyprus, granting the U.S. permission to use RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia to “destroy missiles at the source.”

 

Muslims make up approximately 6.7% of the total population of England, and London has the highest concentration, with approximately 15% of the city’s residents identifying as Muslim. According to some analysts, this demographic makeup likely made UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer initially cautious about supporting Operation Epic Fury.

 

Meanwhile, regionally, Jordan has also emerged as a vital operational hub amid the conflict, hosting U.S. F-16CJ fighter jets redeployed from Italy to conduct suppression of enemy air defense missions. Additionally, Gulf nations like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain have focused on providing defensive participation, utilizing U.S.-integrated air defense systems to maintain high interception rates against Iranian drone and missile salvos.

 

Furthermore, logistical and intelligence support remains bolstered by the Five Eyes alliance and key European hubs like Ramstein Air Base in Germany.

Brookings Institution Partnered With Shanghai Policy Center Under Scrutiny for Spying

It is no surprise an American-Left implication has emerged linking the Brookings Institute, Communist China AND by extension of supporting the Dem (Marxist) Party – Quid Pro Joe Biden.

Brookings Institution Partnered With Shanghai Policy Center Under Scrutiny for Spying

Shanghai Academy acts as a front for Chinese spy recruitment, according to FBI

The Brookings Institution, a prominent Washington, D.C., think tank, partnered with a Shanghai policy center that the FBI has described as a front for China’s intelligence and spy recruitment operations, according to public records and federal court documents.

The Brookings Doha Center, the think tank’s hub in Qatar, signed a memorandum of understanding with the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences in January 2018, the institution said. The academy is a policy center funded by the Shanghai municipal government that has raised flags within the FBI.

The partnership raises questions about potential Chinese espionage activities at the think tank, which employs numerous former government officials and nearly two dozen current foreign policy advisers to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign.

Since the partnership began, the organizations have teamed up to host a 2018 conference in Shanghai and a 2019 joint workshop in Doha. Both events focused on Middle East cooperation with China’s Belt and Road Initiative, Beijing’s multinational infrastructure project that the U.S. government has described as a global security threat.

"We highly value our partnership with the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences," Brookings Doha Center director Tarik Yousef said at the joint workshop last December, calling the partnership a "very productive collaboration that is expanding, deepening, and allowing us all to better understand each other."

According to federal court records filed by the FBI, the Shanghai Academy, which describes itself as "the second biggest academic organization and comprehensive research center in the fields of philosophy and social sciences in China," is closely aligned with Beijing’s top spy agency, the Ministry of State Security. It has been used as a front group for Chinese intelligence collection and overseas spy recruitment, the FBI said.

The court records are part of a criminal case against retired CIA officer Kevin Patrick Mallory, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison last year for selling classified U.S. defense documents to China in 2017. Federal investigators said Mallory was recruited by a Chinese national who contacted him on LinkedIn and "represented himself to Mallory as working for a PRC think tank, the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences."

According to the 2019 affidavit, the FBI believes that senior Chinese officials use Shanghai Academy of Social Science for "cover identities" and tap its employees as "spotters and assessors" of potential spies.

China’s Ministry of State Security, which has close ties to the academy, the affidavit says, is "focused on identifying and influencing the foreign policy of other countries" and conducts "clandestine and overt human source operations, of which the United States is a principal target."

Joseph Bosco, who served as China country director under former secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld, told the Washington Free Beacon that think tanks such as Brookings are an attractive target for Chinese intelligence because they provide access to well-connected government insiders.

"A lot of the think tanks are populated by former government officials who have inside information on how the government works, particular policies," he said. "They have connections to people who are still in the government, so they’re a wealth of potential information."

A Brookings spokesman told the Free Beacon that Brookings is no longer affiliated with the Shanghai Academy, and that the partnership was "a two-year collaboration consisting of two events that explored political and economic relations between the Middle East and China." The spokesman said the two groups did not exchange funds.

Chinese has a long history of spying in the United States and abroad, but its intelligence operations have drawn renewed attention this year due to a string of high-profile spy cases brought by federal prosecutors. In recent months, the U.S. government has charged multiple university professors and researchers, including the former chair of Harvard University’s chemistry department, with defrauding the government while working on behalf of Beijing. In July, the Trump administration ordered the closure of the Chinese consulate in Houston, saying it was used as a base for espionage.

Brookings describes its Doha Center as an "overseas center of the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C.," and a "hub for Brookings scholarship in the region."

The center has advocated for increased cooperation between Middle Eastern countries and China’s Belt and Road Initiative, which would temper U.S. influence in the region while increasing China’s economic and political leverage.

At a 2018 joint conference, Brookings Doha Center director Yousef was photographed shaking hands with Shanghai Academy chancellor Yu Xinhui in front of an orange background reading: "Academy of Social Sciences and Brookings Doha Center, MOU Signing Ceremony."

That event, which took place in Shanghai, included speeches and panels touting the benefits of the Belt and Road Initiative to both China and the Arab world. Speakers included Yousef, Brookings Doha Center research director Nader Kabbani, former Jordanian government official Ibrahim Saif, and numerous Chinese and Middle Eastern policy experts, according to the event schedule.

Beijing’s Belt and Road initiative is an ambitious long-term plan to build a Chinese-funded trade route—including ports, roads, high-speed railroads and airports—in countries across Asia, Europe, Africa, South America, and Australia. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has described it as a "treasury-run empire" and a "risk to American interests" that would massively expand China’s sphere of influence, global military presence, and economic leverage over participating countries.

Nearly two dozen scholars at Brookings currently serve as advisers to the Biden campaign, including director of the Brookings China Strategy Initiative Rush Doshi and the director of foreign policy research Michael O’Hanlon, according to their biographies on the website. Other Brookings officials, such as Middle East senior fellow Tamara Cofman Wittes, previously worked under President Obama and could be candidates to serve in a prospective Biden administration.

The most recent joint workshop held by the two groups took place last December at the Marsa Malaz Kempinski, a luxury hotel in Doha, and included "over 40 experts representing several distinguished international institutions," according to a press release.
