The leak that nearly cost a U.S. Colonel his life wasn’t just a “scoop”—it was a calculated act of institutional sabotage. While the pilot was evading a $60,000 bounty and a specialized IRGC hunt in the Zagros Mountains, the “Script Doctors” in the American media and their “sources” in the Pentagon were busy handing the enemy a map.

WHO BETRAYED OUR PILOT?

There is a specific kind of “mental illness” that has infected the American bureaucracy, a psychosis where the hatred for a sitting President outweighs the survival of a U.S. service member. This past weekend, as a downed U.S. Colonel was fighting for his life behind enemy lines in Iran, we saw this sickness reach its terminal phase. While the CIA was executing a brilliant “digital fog” campaign—flooding the airwaves with fake reports that the pilot had already been rescued to trick the Iranians into stopping their search—the American media decided to step in and play for the other team.

The Source of the Betrayal

The question “Who was the leaker?” points directly back to the “Deep State” holdovers that President Trump has warned about for years. According to the President, the leak originated from “senior officials” within his own administration and the Pentagon. These weren’t just low-level clerks; these were people with access to the highest-level rescue protocols. They chose to pick up the phone and call NBC News and The New York Times to “correct the record,” effectively telling the Iranian military: “Don’t stop searching. He’s still there. The President is lying to you.”

The Deadly Scoop

By confirming that the second airman was still missing, NBC and The Times didn’t just report the news; they became an intelligence asset for the Iranian regime. They destroyed the “Never Forget” deception that was keeping the Colonel alive. For a “scoop” and a chance to undermine the Trump administration’s narrative of air dominance, they were willing to let an American Colonel be paraded through the streets of Tehran. This is the “third-world woke sickness” in action—an elitist class that feels more kinship with a foreign adversary than with the “Warfighters” who protect their right to sit in a climate-controlled newsroom.

The Reckoning

President Trump has called this “TREASONOUS,” and he’s right. When the institutions of a nation—the media and the military bureaucracy—actively work to sabotage a rescue mission because they despise the man in the Oval Office, that nation is in the grip of a terminal decay. They didn’t care about the Colonel’s wife or his children; they cared about the “fact-check.” They wanted the mission to fail so they could write the headline about “Trump’s Disaster in Iran.”

As the President prepares for his 1:00 P.M. press conference in the Oval Office, the focus isn’t just on the miraculous rescue by SEAL Team 6; it’s on the enemies within. The Colonel is home, but the leakers are still in the building. Until the “Script Doctors” are purged from the halls of power, every American in uniform is at risk of being sold out for a headline.

A BIBLE VERSE

Psalm 55:12-13

“For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it… But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.”

WHY I CHOSE THIS VERSE

This verse captures the sting of the ultimate betrayal—the “insider” who stabs you in the back. It’s one thing to be hunted by the Iranians; it’s another to be sold out by your own countrymen in Washington D.C.

LET US PRAY

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the safe return of our airmen. We ask that You expose the “Deep State” actors who chose a political victory over a soldier’s life. Amen.
