Exposing the Military-Industrial Scam: Former US Soldier Greg Stoker on War, Gaza & Empire

What if everything you’ve been told about the military — “fighting for freedom,” “protecting democracy,” “serving your country” — was a lie? In this explosive episode of "The Watchdog," British-Iraqi artist and host Lowkey sits down with former Army Ranger and intel insider Greg Stoker, who saw the beast from the inside and walked away from it. Stoker breaks the silence on: How the U.S. military breaks young men to serve the empire Why most soldiers join out of economic desperation, not patriotism The real reason so many vets kill themselves when they get out How the Pentagon built the internet to spy on Americans and suppress dissent Why Israel would collapse in weeks without U.S. money and weapons Britain’s role as America’s lapdog in every foreign war “It’s a tripartite genocide,” Stoker says. “The U.S. is the empire. Israel is the colony. And the U.K. gives the whole thing a stamp of legitimacy.” You won’t hear this on Fox. And you won’t hear it from military recruiters or the GOP establishment either. This is the raw truth about how our government feeds your sons and daughters into endless wars to prop up foreign regimes, while bankrupting your future. Lowkey’s U.K. tour starts in September.
