Timeline of Trump 2.0's Israel-First Agenda, and Some Notes on the Nature and Ideology of the Ruling Oligarchs

by Sean Jobst

31 August 2025

THE number one issue facing the US now is one of sovereignty, how this land is being plundered to prop up Israel and the oligarch class at the expense of the people. Everyday social problems, ‘bread-and-butter’ issues, are founded upon this basic reality. Culture war distractions and slop are designed to misdirect attention away from economic realities (and their causes) and issues involving war as health of the State. So too are the erosion of liberties a manifestation of this central cause, couched in whatever political formula is used by the same managerial class steering the Technopticon regardless of the outer regime.

It is with this backdrop in mind I present this timeline to illustrate the Israel-First agenda of Trump 2.0. The Zionist connections are so extensive and expressed constantly by Trump and his entourage that this timeline is by no means comprehensive. In the process, I include notes revealing the nature and ideology of the ruling oligarchs. Many connections are made between various individuals, events, and trends showing a continuous agenda where even apparently “unrelated” things are connected. These are interspersed with some minimal commentary, my conclusions based on recognizing these patterns while citing my sources (as 'direct' and 'mainstream' as possible so there can be no doubt).

Trump interview

On April 12, 2024, TIME Magazine conducted an interview with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach. “There's been no president that's done what I've done for Israel. When you look at all of the things that I've done, and it starts with the Iran nuclear deal. You know, Bibi Netanyahu begged Obama not to do that deal. I ended that deal. I did Golan Heights. Nobody even thought of Golan Heights. I gave them Golan Heights. I did the embassy and in Jerusalem. Jerusalem became the capital. I built the embassy. I even built the embassy. And it's a beautiful embassy for a lot less money than anybody ever thought possible. And you've heard that. But there's been no president that's done what I've done in Israel. And it's interesting. The people of Israel appreciate it. I have like a 98%—I have the highest approval numbers.”

Q: You said you're proud to be one of the first presidents in generations to have not gotten the United States into a war. You addressed this a little bit in the press conference. But if Iran and Israel got into a war, will you join in Israel side?

Trump: “I have been very loyal to Israel, more loyal than any other president. I've done more for Israel than any other president. Yeah, I will protect Israel.”

Q: If Israel and Iran get into a war, should the U.S. support Israel in striking Iran militarily?

Trump: “Yes, if a situation like occurred. A lot of people say it was a ceremonial, it was a ceremonial attack. Because they allowed everybody to know what happened, et cetera, et cetera. If that’s the case, it would be a good thing, not a bad thing. But a lot of people say that that attack was, you know, I mean, everybody knew about it. I heard about it long before the attack was made, and so did many others. So it would depend, obviously, but the answer is yes. If they attack Israel, yes, we would be there.”

MIGA at the RNC 

Barely hidden under his "MAGA" marketing fraud, Israel-First cuckery was on full display at the Republican National Convention (RNC) that convened in Milwaukee in mid-July 2024. Many Israeli flags were displayed (the only foreign one), even many combining the Israeli and US flags into one as if make them synonymous. The campaign sold red "Trump" kippahs while the American Jewish Committee ran a panel discussion manufacturing hasbara. The official 2024 Republican Party platform adopted there proclaimed: “We will stand with Israel,” singling out this one foreign country within a platform that otherwise made hollowed “America-First” and “MAGA” claims. 

Reporters from the Times of Israel noted how the "RNC crowd erupts in cheers for Israel." Matt Brooks, CEO of the Republican Jewish Coalition and Jewish Policy Center, commenced his speech on 16^th July: “Let me hear you cheer if you support Israel,” to applause as cameras panned to many waving Israeli flags and a Chabad presence in the crowd. Brooks then continued:

“Here at the Republican Convention, we proudly and loudly stand with Israel. This election is a critical moment for the American Jewish community and for Israel. This is our chance to continue the incredible pro-Israel legacy of the most pro-Israel President in history, Donald J. Trump. President Trump - among his many accomplishments - they said it couldn’t be done: he moved the US embassy to Jerusalem; they said it couldn’t be done: he weakened the Iranian regime; and they said it couldn’t be done: he delivered the historic Abraham Accords—bringing us closer to peace in the Middle East! With President Trump, we will repair and rebuild the US-Israel relationship after four disastrous years under President Biden. My message to the Jewish community is clear: there is only one pro-Israel party, and it is the Republican Party! Here at home, under Donald Trump, we will put a stop to the rising tide of antisemitism.”

Alexander “Shabbos” Kestenbaum, plaintiff in a suit accusing Harvard of “anti-Semitism” thought crimes for allowing the free speech rights of pro-Palestine/anti-genocide protestors, spoke on the RNC’s next night (17^th July). He expressed longtime support for the Democratic Party, including as a previous supporter of Bernie Sanders(1), continued alignment with liberal economic policies, and that he would support his own congressman, the faithful AIPAC stooge Ritchie Torres (D-NY). But he expressed disappointment at growing criticism of Israel among the leftist base of the Democratic Party, of course framing this as “anti-Semitism”. Kestenbaum said Trump would go farther in supporting Israel and cracking down on free speech:  

“Although I once voted for Bernie Sanders, I now recognize that the far Left has not only abandoned the Jewish people but the American people. The Democratic Party — the party I registered to vote for the day I turned 18 — has become ideologically poisoned. And it is this poison, it is this corruption, that is infecting far too many young American students. Let’s be clear: The far Left’s antisemitic extremism has no virtue, and the radicalism on our campuses and on our streets has no moral legitimacy.”

“If people are going to provide me a platform to speak in front of millions of people to talk about my lived experience, to talk about the need to bring back our hostages, to talk about the need to stand up with a critical ally in the Middle East — look, if the Democrats want me to speak at their convention, it’d be an honor. But unfortunately, they’re not really interested in this story.”

“Tonight, we fight back. I am proud to support President Trump’s policies to expel foreign students who violate our laws, harass our Jewish classmates, and desecrate our freedoms. Let’s elect a president who will instill patriotism in our schools. Once again, let’s elect a president who will confront terrorism and its supporters.”

Like other Israel-First subversives, Kestenbaum hides his rhetoric under phony American “patriot” rhetoric to appeal to the crowd – although that is no longer working with increasing numbers of Americans in this Great Noticing about the stranglehold Zionist interests have over US politics. He closed his speech with, “Jewish values are American values, and American values are Jewish values,” implying Zionist pressure groups are given carte blanche to define these "values" – and that to oppose this foreign subversion is “anti-American”. Kestenbaum then raised his right-fist in a dark occult gesture whose origins are in the fanatical supremacism of Rabbi Meir Kahane, who wrote about “A Jewish fist in the face of an astonished Gentile world: this is Kiddush Hashem [‘santification of god’s name’].”(2)

Kahanism and the Woke Right Pivot 

Kahanism is predominant among West Bank land grabbers in alignment with the Israeli State, while their American agents called ‘Betar’ are street thugs enforcing the Israel-First assault on free speech, in close collusion with Trump officials. As documented by court records, Trump officials rely on doxxing by Canary Mission(3) and Betar for their efforts against universities and protestors, right now using immigrant students as their excuse to deny constitutional rights to non-citizens (contrary to even the Constitution), with two purposes: (1) To create a false precedent that these rights are “given” by the State and not natural and innate; and (2) To ultimately extend these assaults upon free speech to all Americans not part of the privileged ruling classes, the universities merely being the test run as admitted by Zio-Technocrats such as Alex Karp. 

Kahanism has been mainstreamed throughout US Jewish communities and the deep pockets of billionaires. Kahanists were latching upon the “MAGA” movement in 2017, even making some overtures to the “Alt-Right” movement which many viewed as a psyop at the top (and behind the scenes). Yet not only with Trump and the Republicans, Kahanism has also embedded in the Democratic Party, as documented by the Canadian-Israeli researcher David Sheen, who specializes in exposing the power of Jewish fundamentalism in Israel and the West. Presided over by Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, who evoked his identity to express solidarity with Israel and whose stepfather Samuel Pisar was a Zionist lobbyist and lawyer for Mossad agent (and Epstein associate) Robert Maxwell, Biden’s State Department removed the Kahane Kach from the US government's list of terrorist organizations.(4)

All of this is even while the Brooklyn-born Rabbi Meir Kahane openly expressed devotion to a theocratic messianism completely distinguished from Western and American values. He framed his entire ethos in terms of “to bring the messiah.” Contrary to the dominant view of left anti-Zionism, which reduces Zionism to “white supremacy” and “intersectionality,” the Kook and Jabotinsky streams of Zionist thought that later converged into Kahanism, openly expressed its repudiation of “exilic” influences from Europe into a new view of Jewish identity. Although not entirely new, as it also derived its spirit from the messianic undercurrent especially ascendent within the last four centuries. 

Kahane defined any “negative” among Jews as whatever “he retains from the Galut, the Exile,” i.e. picked up from proximity to Gentiles. “The divine destiny of the Jewish people was to realize its greatness and its exclusiveness,” as he wrote in Listen World, Listen Jew (1978). “To remain separate from the nations lest it assimilate and lose its divine uniqueness.” He expressed Jewish supremacism vis-à-vis “the nations” – and particularly against anything ‘Western’ – throughout Our Challenge(5): 

“The schools of Israel do not aim at creating warm, proud, deeply nationalistic views. They are western, not Jewish schools” (p. 77).

“They [secular Israelis] do not look back with pride on the sacrifices and dedication of their ancestors in the Exile or the flaming actions of those who returned to till the soil and smash the British imperialist enemy. They emerge like all other children anywhere in the western world, with the same shallow values, the same vapid, materialistic dreams, the same boredom and feeling that life is empty and boring” (p. 84).

“The state of Israel is not a western one or an eastern one; it is not a “secular state”; it is not one to be modeled after ‘the nations.’ It is a Jewish state with all the uniqueness that this applies. It is state whose personality, character, behavior, and structure must be the reflection of Jewishness and Judaism” (p. 109).

“The less affluent are filled with nonvalues or with sick, western, materialistic ones. There is an abnormal worship of the American golden calf, and everything American is slavishly copied” (p. 148).

“We came here to the Land of Israel to build a Jewish, not a western country. It is Jewish values that are true, not western values (or eastern, for that matter)” (p. 171).  

Even their personal styles and ways of speaking are very
similar, as if Trump partly modeled himself off Kahane
whose ideas he came into contact with in NYC ruling circles.

This distinction must be emphasized given the emergent Woke Right that arose as the latest iteration and culmination of the Woke Left after most of the latter turned against Israel. Funded heavily Zionist oligarchs such as Bill Ackman and Technocrats like Peter Thiel, they couch their ideas in nebulous terms of “Western” values promoted by astroturfed grifters born from this pivot despite expressing nothing truly original. Just as the Woke Left was a tool of Corporations and CIA fronts to distract authentic left dissidents from economic issues, so too is the Woke Right an oligarchic project to misdirect authentic right dissidents into pro-Israel and Technocratic objectives. Even the talking points of the former are simply recycled in ways re-defining the “victim” class with more State-entrenched privileges. Such hucksters defining Israel as a bastion of “Western civilization” do so from their own rank materialism, not anything truly organic and transcendent deriving from Europa and its cultural outgrowths (such as the Americas or Australia etc.).  

A month after the RNC, Kestenbaum attended the Democratic National Convention wearing a button proclaiming “I’m a pro-Israel Democrat”, expressing confidence “we can one day restore the soul of our party together.” He wanted to continue working within that party, yet also spoke at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual convention on 5 Sept. 5, 2024. “I did not support Trump in 2016, I did not support Trump in 2020. Hell, I did not support Trump six months ago,” he said. “I will be supporting, I will be endorsing, I will be voting for President Trump.” Kestenbaum is a poster-boy for the nascent Woke Right, whose leaders are mostly Democratic “Never Trumpers” who latched upon Trump 2024 seeing him as more pro-Israel.(6) Indeed, he was hired by the conservative PragerU, a Zionist media outfit chosen by Trump to replace the defunded PBS and NPR as preferred State media.(7)

Embedded in both sides of the duopoly, Zionism as the cohesive instrument of the Judeo-supremacist billionaire class(8) uses any political formula to ensure Israel’s continued stranglehold on US foreign policy (via the networks of lobbying and  political pressure groups combined with Zionist oligarchs), and that domestically the State sanctifies the IHRA definition of Jewishness as a privileged “nationality” (not merely a religion followed by different Jewish ethnic groups) as with the various Congressional bills and Executive Orders on “anti-Semitism.” Chabad and Kahanism are the most powerful currents within Zionism, personifying the dual pressures described by Herzl.(9) 

Using Herzl's formulation, Kahanists represent ‘terror’ from the streets (inverted as ‘defense’) while Chabad are the more ‘sophisticated’ face hiding behind such occulted code-words as “peace” and “education” (whose reality I exposed in my “Technocratic Noahidism” series). Their global network of centers are well-funded by an entrenched network of oligarchs, with Chabad leaders and oligarchs especially close to such world leaders as Trump, Netanyahu, Putin, and Milei.

Meir Kahane had a central role organizing Noahide groups and was keynote speaker at the First International Conference of the Descendants of Noah, in Fort Worth in 1990. Even today the Noahides promote his speeches alongside those of Chabad rabbis. Rabbi Avraham Toledano, who served briefly as Kach’s leader after Kahane’s assassination, founded the High Council for Noahides. Meir Kahane’s brother, Rabbi Nachman Kahane, was instrumental in reconstituting the Sanhedrin. Chabad memorializes Kahane as a “Maccabean Martyr”. “It is becoming clearer by the day that we had two great Rabbinic leaders who told us what to do… but we didn’t listen,” according to Kahanist Rabbi Shmuel Sackett, prominent in Religious Zionist political groups as an associate of Moshe Feiglin. “These two giants were crystal clear in what the State of Israel needed to do to defeat the enemy, but their words fell on deaf ears. I am referring to the Lubavitcher Rebbe and Rabbi Meir Kahane. Their styles were completely different but their message was similar.” That message, according to Sackett? “To smash the enemy and drive them from our land!!”

Trump, the Neocon Status Quo, and Adelson’s Blood Money

While the RNC was intended for the “MAGA” base, appealing to the public supporters of Trump, the RJC simultaneously held an exclusive event for Republican elites at a private club just west of the convention center in Milwaukee. Under heavy private security and largely away from the media’s prying eyes, it was openly billed as “Salute to Pro-Israel Elected Officials.” There, even the semblance of “MAGA” (designed for the plebs’ manufactured consent) was abandoned for an all-out Israel-First lovefest. Speakers included various governors, senators, and congressmen, including three who would go on to serve under Trump 2.0 – Kristi Noem, Doug Burgum, and Mike Waltz. His former CIA director and Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, framed current events in Christian Zionist eschatology at this event to promote the re-election of Trump to MIGA.(10) In his speech, House Speaker Mike Johnson threatened the arrest of anyone who disrupted Netanyahu’s Congressional speeches (and perhaps those who didn’t give standing ovations).

On 15 Aug. 2024, Trump spoke at a “Stop Antisemitism” golf club event in Bedminister, New Jersey, lamenting the alleged loss of influence by AIPAC: “If you said, let's say, 15 years ago, maybe not even that long, anything bad about Israel or Jewish people, you were finished as a politician. You wouldn't do that, Congressman. You wouldn't do - you wouldn't do it anyway, but nobody would do it. The most powerful lobby in this country, by far, was Israel and Jewish people. Today, it's almost like what happened?” It was the same occasion where he bizarrely used “Palestinian” as an insult against the Zionist Senator Chuck Schumer. 

His longtime donor, Miriam Adelson, said at the same event: “Donald Trump. He promised to recognize Jerusalem and to move the embassy to Jerusalem. Promise kept! He promised to withdraw from Iran nuclear deal, and promise kept! He promised to bring peace between Israel and Arab nations. Promise kept! And all in Golan Heights, that was the biggest. He promised Golan Heights and he recognized it. And all of this he did in his first term, while battling Covid pandemic, race riots, and the liberal media.” 

This was followed by a second Adelson-funded event, his video speech at the Republican Jewish Coalition's meeting in Las Vegas on 5 September. Trump continued his groveling in person at the Israeli American Council Conference in Washington, D.C., 19 Sept. 2024. This faux strongman desperately evinced his subservience midway during his speech: “Miriam has me working hard here.” He continued his cuckery throughout the speech:

“We’re gathered tonight to talk about the sacred bond between the United States and Israel, and it’s a bond that’s in serious trouble….You have a big protector in me; you don’t have a protector on the other side…..Just as I promised I recognized Israel's eternal capital and opened the American embassy in Jerusalem. Jerusalem became the capital. I also recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. You know, Miriam and Sheldon would come into the White House probably almost more than anybody outside of people that work there. And they were always after, and as soon as I give them something, always for Israel, as soon as I'd give them something, they'd want something else. I said, give me a couple of weeks, will you please? But I gave them the Golan Heights.... So my message today is very simple: if you want Israel to survive, you need Donald J. Trump as the 47th President of the United States. Under my leadership, America will once again stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our friend and ally, the State of Israel. We're going to make Israel great again!”

In Oct. 2024, Adelson awarded her lackey Trump with $100 million, an amount “exceeding the $90 million she and her husband gave to support Trump in 2020.” Adelson's donation “dwarfed the $75 million that Trump received from Elon Musk.” Although Musk soon donated more, so that she was his third-largest donor in 2024.(11) Clearly, having recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, Israel's annexation of the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, and pardoned the traitor spy Jonathan Pollard (who promptly did his ‘aliyah’ to Israel and now routinely bashes the US for the ‘Machon Shilo’ platform) and his Mossad handler, Avriem Sella, Adelson knew he would do even more his second term.

And so it is that Trump 2.0 aligns perfectly with the Zionist project in its going-for-broke phase: Recognizing the complete annexation of the occupied West Bank, continue the funding of genocide in Gaza with stolen American taxpayers' dollars (continuing the same policy as Biden/Harris). There were many warning signs even before his first term. One article that has surfaced more in the ‘ether’ (showing itself more prescient than ever) is investigative journalist James Bamford’s 2023 piece, “The Trump Campaign’s Collusion with Israel.” It detailed how Netanyahu sent a secret Israeli agent to the US in spring 2016 to help Trump win the election, meeting with his advisors. These correspond with my own articles at the time detailing Jared Kushner’s personal ties to the Israeli leader. All of these were ignored by the liberal media (ridden with its own pro-Israel propaganda) which instead promoted “Russian collusion”. (There were ‘Russian’ oligarchs involved as part of the broader Chabad network that linked Trump, Netanyahu, and Putin – and these were dutifully ignored by the media).

Netanyahu’s primary agenda was to get the US to abandon the nuclear enrichment deal with Iran, which indeed was always one of Trump’s main campaign promises. Netanyahu had two other purposes: Recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital – which Trump delivered on during his first term, thanks to the efforts of Kushner, the Adelsons, and his ambassador David Friedman; and accepting the Israeli annexation of the occupied territories – which he partially delivered on with the Golan Heights, and now following through with the West Bank (which the fanatic Mike Huckabee and pro-Israel loyalists within the State Department are openly calling “Judea and Samaria”) and the ruins of Gaza. In any case, Bamford expanded his article into a book and as he told an interviewer: “The Israelis got what they wanted, and Trump got what he wanted, and the American public was screwed in the meantime.”

Domestically, Trump has pursued an unprecedented federal assault upon the First Amendment on behalf of this foreign nation, with successive Executive Orders entrenching Israeli privilege into American law in complete repudiation of the Bill of Rights. Trump’s other Zionist billionaire oligarchs in 2024 included Bill Ackman and Jeff Yass. So joined together are two blatant symptoms of the ‘American’ Oligarchy: The rule of money over the entire political process, and the social/ideological influence of Zionism. Nor is it any accident he seems to always be surrounded by Howard Lutnick, not only a staunch Zionist billionaire (and one who accompanied Trump on his pilgrimage to Schneerson’s grave), but the architect of his crypto and tariff policies whose true agenda is to enrich the billionaire class and screw over the masses.

From the election up to the inauguration, Trump signaled through his cabinet picks this would be even more of an Israel-First cabinet than even the first term. Their Zionist links, activities, and statements are easily verifiable – some will be mentioned in the course of this article. Not surprisingly given her hefty bribe, Adelson “takes center stage” at the inauguration, indeed sitting in the front row behind Trump – and nearby the various Big Tech oligarchs and Technocrats. Adelson “got a prime and coveted spot” at the inauguration according to local Dallas media (as she is majority owner of the Dallas Mavericks). “Adelson and the Vances appeared together again on Sunday night at a pre-inauguration party,” reported the Jerusalem Post. This helps ensure the Israel-First agenda continues with his presumed ‘successor’ J.D. Vance (whose entire career was astroturfed by Peter Thiel and his other Technocrat connections).(12)  

Adelson remains largest funder of the Birthright Foundation, which organizes curated trips to Israel by young “Diaspora” Jews.(13) Some participants have called out these trips for having “radicalized” youths into Zionism and its view of Jewish identity, with even some Zionist “lite” activists referring to the “bribery” behind the trips. (These are similar to the curated propaganda trips to Israel for American Christians, organized by such Zionist organizations as CUFI). Adelson's efforts subverting American politics and society for Israel exist alongside the more well-known efforts by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), each serving their role within these networks (with AIPAC often erroneously used as short-hand for all Zionist funding and lobbying efforts). Her deceptively-named “Preserve America PAC” has raised $750,000 for Trump’s efforts to unseat maverick Kentucky congressman Thomas Massie, along with funding by her fellow Zionist billionaires Paul Singer and John Paulson.(14)

AIPAC and Israel’s White House Stenographers

AIPAC is the most powerful foreign policy lobby which, unlike all other lobbies which pale in comparison, has never had to register as a foreign agent organization – even though it has continuously been outed for espionage. On Feb. 23, 2025, the new AIPAC CEO Eliot Brandt boasted of the Israel lobby’s special “access” to some of them going back decades, alluding to their political careers being astroturfed by the lobby. The boast was made in a closed AIPAC session at their annual Congressional Summit, in a leaked audio obtained by investigative journalist Max Blumenthal of The Grayzone, who sets the scene:

“The Congressional Summit was permeated with anxiety, as AIPAC leaders told rank-and-file members to hide their badges when they left the Marriott Hotel for fear they would be confronted by anti-genocide protesters. Other than a handful of sessions, such as a keynote address by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, the conference was strictly off-the-record. With the cameras off, AIPAC leadership provided unusually candid details of their activities. In one revealing admission, Brandt explained how he and his lobbying organization groomed the future CIA director and other top Trump officials as pro-Israel assets.” Brandt says verbatim:

“We may not lobby the executive as we were talking about there was a discussion earlier, about Congress being representatives of the people while the White House have to be responsive to Congress. And so it's working with at the time, our friends on the Democratic side of the aisle, to apply pressure the way they know how, to an administration, as it will be with this administration. When I was talking about the people who will get appointed into some of these jobs, like at the top level you talk about Marco Rubio, Elise Stefanik, Michael Waltz, those three people have something in common. They all served in Congress. They all have relationships with key AIPAC leaders from their communities. So the lines of communication are good should there be something questionable or curious that we need access on the conversation.

“You know that one of the first candidates I ever met with as an AIPAC professional in my job when he was a candidate for Congress was a guy named John Ratcliffe. He was challenging a long time member of Congress in Dallas. I said, this guy looks like he could win the race, and, we go talk to him. He had a good understanding of issues, and a couple of weeks ago, he took the oath as the CIA director, for crying out loud. This is a guy that we've had a chance to speak to, so there are, there are a lot of, I wouldn't call them lifelines, but there are lifelines in there.”

Temple Institute, visiting Jerusalem in Feb. 2019. (Source)

These “lifelines” came through when “MAGA” Trump bombed Iran on behalf of this foreign nation. A Trump administration insider revealed to The Grayzone that Ratcliffe and U.S. Central Command Gen. Michael Kurilla passed intelligence “they received from the Israeli military and Mossad director David Barnea – but without informing the president that the intelligence was derived from a foreign third party.” This isn’t to excuse Trump’s own agency rooted in his extensive ties to Zionism, but with a narcissist who can be easily manipulated by sycophants, access is everything – and White House Chief of Staff Suzie Wiles, a long-time corporate lobbyist who also worked for Netanyahu’s reelection in 2020, made sure Mossad’s stenographers Ratcliffe and Kurilla enjoyed special access. Meanwhile, she excluded Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Joe Kent, director for the National Counter-Terrorism Center, both of whom while pro-Israel were still opposed to U.S. involvement in war against Iran, making their case with U.S. intelligence agencies rather than Mossad.

Israel Hayom named Kurilla “a vital asset to Israel.” Ynet called Kurilla “one of Israel’s staunchest allies in the American defence establishment,” noting in its report: “Kurilla’s relationship with Israel runs deep. His first visit to the country was as a young officer in his 20s, and he has since visited dozens of times – more than 15 visits in the past two years alone.” He ensured that U.S. radar systems in the UAE and Qatar were used to work for Israel, while Saudi Arabia and Jordan cooperated with Israel after Iran retaliated. In fact, Israel’s own timing for the attack on Iran was to ensure their friend Kurilla could participate before his retirement in July. Kurilla was influential with both Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. The former Fox News host Hegseth is a Christian Zionist fanatic who has called for rebuilding the Temple (meeting with its advocates in Israel), equated Zionism with “Americanism,” and professed “robust support” for Israel in his confirmation hearing. All of this is part of a gradual subversion of any lingering independence within the US military at odds with Israeli and Corporate interests.(15)

Perhaps aware of AIPAC's growing perception within the great American noticing, many billionaires funnel donations via an AIPAC front with the occulted name United Democracy Project. The lobby's billionaire donors include tech entrepreneurs like Jan Koum and David Zalik; Wall Street vultures like hedge fund manager Paul Singer and Goldman Sachs’ Lloyd Blankfein; the leading Republican (Bernie Marcus, Miriam Adelson) and Democratic (Haim Saban) donors; Mega Group founder and Epstein associate Les Wexner; and Leonid Radvinsky, majority owner of the subscription porn site OnlyFans. Aside from being bankrolled by the Judeo-supremacist billionaire class, AIPAC has direct ties to Chabad. Many former AIPAC executives move on to think-tanks connected to the Israeli State. And so it is that AIPAC has its well-placed puppets throughout the White House, Congress, Pentagon, media, and US think-tanks who are recipients from the same billionaire class.

Israel-First Sycophants Heading U.S. Government Departments

On March 19, 2025, State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce affirmed that Trump would "stand with Israel in every circumstance." In her press conference on March 20, 2025, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said her boss "fully supports Israel and the IDF [sic] and the actions that they have taken in recent days." That is, openly break the “cease-fire” scam that was actually engineered by Netanyahu as his regrouping for the next phase of the genocide; Trump in his fragile ego – so concerned with praise that would be tied to him – was more than happy to go along with it in full collusion.

On April 7, 2025, during his White House meeting with Netanyahu, Trump said about the new $1 trillion Pentagon budget: “We have great things happening with our military. We also essentially approved a budget which is in the facility - you'll like to hear this [approvingly looking at Netanyahu] - of one trillion dollars and no one has seen anything like it.” How much more blatant can one get that the primary purpose of greasing the War Machine with trillions more drained from the US taxpayers, is to prop up Israel and fight its wars?!

"The pride of being able to be here and do work that facilitates making things better for people, and in the greatest country on Earth next to Israel! And its an honor to be able to make a difference and to be able to speak in this regard with an administration that I love so much and that I feel genuinely represented by." - Tammy Bruce interviewed on i24 News, early May 2025.(16) That formulation "next to" clearly means the USA is second to Israel in her devotion.

This was followed by Trump's 13 May Riyadh speech against "nation-building", which many took at face value but actually a deception to lull Iran into a false sense of security. Plus, Trump's Gaza scheme is nation-building; the "boots on the ground" sent were American mercenaries posing as "aid" workers to lure starved Palestinian civilians into Israeli ambushes as revealed by GHF whistleblower Anthony Aguiar and on live footage with obvious gunfire at the "aid" sites. The various deals Trump made in Riyadh, including rapprochement with the rebranded Al-Qaida Jolani now ruling Syria, were designed to expand the Abraham Accords: Neuter more countries into "normalization" with Israel, completely isolating the Palestinians, and inaugurating the next stage of Technocratic Smart Cities from the Gulf Arab kleptocracies up to the ruins of Gaza, in alliance with an ethnically-cleansed Eretz Israel. The technocratic component hasn’t been talked about as much in relation to the Abraham Accords, but it was no accident Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Alex Karp, Larry Sacks, and Larry Fink all attended the meeting between Trump and the Saudi King.

Rather than honoring American veterans and the fallen as one would expect on Memorial Day, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem visited Israel on 26 May at Trump's request to instead memorialize the two Israeli Embassy staffers killed in DC (in a very suspicious event pointing to a false flag op). She met with Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir and other officials, and took the cliche humiliation ritual US politicians engage in at the Wailing Wall. She expressed "unwavering support" for Israel, whose enemies she regarded as "our enemies." None of this is surprising for one who has met with Chabad cultists, and who as South Dakota Governor signed an executive order criminalizing BDS and anti-Israel activism, and entrenched the IHRA definition of "anti-Semitism" into law to privilege less than a tenth of a percent of the population over others.

"'Free Free Palestine.' Words that now serve as a battle-cry for the death of Jews, the destruction of Israel, and the horrors we must never again allow. There can be no compromise with anti-Semitism. There can be no nuanced separation of hatred of Israel and hatred of the Jewish people....We must stand in solidarity with Israel. There can be no coexistence with evil....We are holding international organizations and nations accountable for rhetoric against Israel." – Marco Rubio, speaking by video to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance Minister’s Conference in Jerusalem, 27 May 2025. This complete conflation of Jewishness not merely as a religion but as a nationality, represented by the State of Israel and with special privileges guaranteed by the host nation, is the entire raison d’etre of Zionism. 

Many more examples can be given, including Trump’s openly-Zionist Middle East negotiators, Steve Witkoff and Adam Boehler; or the insane Christian Zionism of Mike Huckabee, with his over-the-top antics of Israel cuckery(17). These will be covered in future articles more focused on Gaza and the Iran war. But last mention should go to the three who have presided over the Epstein cover-up (ultimately on the orders of their boss), combined with the recent Israel exception made for Tom Alexandrovich, Netanyahu’s cybersecurity official who was allowed to flee justice in Las Vegas and return to Israel – at the lowest level by the proud Israeli Trump-appointed US Attorney for Nevada, Sigal Chattah, a cheerleader for genocide in Gaza; and up to the higher level by the State Department – Near Eastern Affairs bureau, whose rush to denial after the public outcry actually confirms a decision on Israel’s behalf.  

US Attorney General Pam Bondi’s nomination received the enthusiastic endorsement of the Israeli-American Civic Action Network, a group which – much like the long-established ADL – hides a subversive political agenda under ‘civil rights’, but admits it wants Israelis in the US “to be a vital strategic asset securing the special alliance between the U.S. and Israel.” And they have found a faithful servant in Bondi. When she was still Florida AG in 2018, presiding over some of the most repressive anti-BDS, anti-free speech legislation, Bondi greeted news of Trump’s opening the US embassy in Jerusalem: “Israel is our greatest ally in the world.” After the attack of 7 Oct. 2023, Bondi appeared on Newsmax claiming antisemitism was “rampant” and “heartbreaking to see what’s happening to all of our Jewish friends in this country.” “The thing that’s really the most troubling to me [is] these students in universities in our country, whether they’re here as Americans or if they’re here on student visas, and they’re out there saying ‘I support Hamas.’ Frankly, they need to be taken out of our country or the FBI needs to be interviewing them right away.” Not only did she repeat the Zionist strawman of anti-genocide protestors being “Hamas”(18), but her words were a blatant assault upon free speech, using allegiance to this one foreign nation to determine US immigration and academic policies.

Current FBI Director Kash Patel appeared on Fox Business’ “Kudlow”, 7 Oct. 2024. Patel memorialized the anniversary with these groveling words: “When we are back in power with President Trump, we will be standing side by side with Israel. We will shut off the machinery that feeds money into Iran. We will no longer have 100 hostages still in captivity, Israeli and American and otherwise, by Hamas and Iran’s Hezbollah mercenary forces. We need America to wake up and prioritize Israel and bring home Israelis and make sure we stand by our number one ally: Israel.” Patel’s girlfriend is an employee of PragerU, a propaganda outlet whose CEO served as an officer of Israeli military intelligence’s Unit 8200.

Finally, we have the spectacle of current FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino being asked: “What cause is dear to your heart?” To which he responded without hesitation: “Israel and the defense of Israel.” (I have linked to a pro-Israel source to stress the evidence which its supporters cannot deny or dismiss). So it is that all of these figureheads of a “MAGA” administration have united around the number one cause they actually serve: The interests of Israel. We are a captured country ruled by pro-Israel oligarchs – and the policies are subservient to these interests. 

Woke, including the manufactured outrage culture
of its alleged opposite (who reveal themselves as
much 'woke', for their own sacred cows), is always
a distraction - and this is what it's about with Trump

NOTES:

(1) Sanders has always been a Zionist and was never an “outsider,” as I exposed in a June 2016 article. His occasional criticisms of Israeli policies are only designed to blame Netanyahu and Likud, absolving the Israeli State (and society) of its consistent role in occupation and Judeo-supremacism. Sanders is an old-school Labor Zionist, placed there along with grifting proteges such as Ocasio-Cortez (who recently showed her true nature voting for continued aid to Israel) to sheepdog dissident leftists safety within the Zio-corporatist Democratic plantation.

(3) “Like its campus spy operation, Israel on Campus Coalition, Canary Mission acts as a key intelligence asset for the Ministry of Strategic Affairs, a highly secretive intelligence organization that is largely focused on the United States, and the Shin Bet security service.” (James Bamford, “Who Is Funding Canary Mission? Inside the Doxxing Operation Targeting Anti-Zionist Students and Professors,” The Nation, Dec. 22, 2023). This Ministry subverts the US by funding various Zionist outfits to promote Israel primacy and criminalize free speech. The US-born head of this Ministry, Ron Dermer, is a regular fixture at the White House and privy to government meetings despite his position in a foreign government – an exception always made for Israel.

(4) For more on terrorist activities of Kahane’s Jewish Defense League in North America and Europe, I highly recommend Mark Weber’s well-documented article, “The Zionist Terror Network”. Their terrorism against victims as varied as Palestinian activists, to Soviet diplomats and artists, to Revisionist scholars, allowed them to operate with full impunity from highly placed sympathizers within State institutions, a precursor to their current activities in New York and universities.

(6) The ease with which Trump surrounds himself with “Never Trumpers” is not evidence of a “hijacked” MAGA movement but applying Occam’s Razor: A faux “populism” constructed around a marketing slogan, headed by a showman who never truly believed the rhetoric that was only designed to capture and steer discontent into ways serving the Managerial State. While there were some personality disputes – as we can naturally expect with psychopaths and narcissists gathered around “power” – they were united around the same agenda behind this political theater’s stage.

(7) PragerU was founded by the Zionists Dennis Prager and Allen Estrin, while its CEO Marissa Streit served in Israeli military intelligence’s Unit 8200, whose various connections in Big Tech and subversion I’ve documented in many articles.

(8) To borrow the phrase from Norman Finkelstein, which perfectly sums up the simple reality behind Zionism, beyond other obfuscations meant to neuter any meaningful and effective opposition to this subversion. I endorse the Anti-Zionist America PAC, a recent effort by the excellent academic Michael Rectenwald, whose ideals generally align with mine. 

(9) “When we sink, we become a revolutionary proletariat, the subordinate officers of all revolutionary parties; and at the same time, when we rise, there rises also our terrible power of the purse” (Theodor Herzl, Der Judenstaat/The Jewish State, 1896; New York: American Zionist Emergency Council, 1946, p. 91).

(10) A large segment of the “alt-media” seized upon Trump’s announcement that Pompeo wouldn’t serve in his cabinet, to “prove” he was “rebelling” against the Neocons and would pursue a non-interventionist foreign policy. While such people were holding on to such delusions (and capturing their audiences in the process), Trump promptly nominated a succession of Neocons and Israel-Firsters for leading foreign policy positions. Never mind that Trump’s announcement made no criticism but actually praised Pompeo, or that the latter enjoys a lucrative post-Trumpian career in the “national security” think-tank circuit. As if this wasn’t enough, they seized upon Trump’s Riyadh speech against “nation-building” – even while he was doing exactly that in Gaza and Syria with murderous results in full collusion with Israel. 

(11) Aside from Adelson and Musk (who has his own extensive Zionist connections), the other largest donor to Trump was “reclusive” Pittsburgh banking and railroad billionaire Timothy Mellon, whose focus seems to be more domestic with strong views about immigration and welfare (but obviously not corporate welfare). I couldn’t find Mellon’s views about Israel (although his silence about it is telling), but he is a holdover of the old “Gilded Age” oligarchy upon which was later grafted the Zionist element. Not far behind Adelson in the ranking of top billionaire donors to Trump 2024 was Isaac Perlmutter, the Israeli-born CEO of Marvel Entertainment who has bankrolled Zionist causes.

(12) Although artificially rebranded as “America-First” and skeptical of interventionism, the truth is that J.D. Vance faithfully voted for and supported every Israeli action. His reality behind the rebranding was best summed up in an article by Al-Monitor writer Adam Lucente: “Vance is an ‘America First’ firebrand who opposed the 2003 invasion of Iraq and military funding for Ukraine, but is a staunch supporter of Israel and backs normalization agreements with Arab states.” Retroactively “opposing” the Iraq war without any accountability means nothing, and as a faithful Technocrat stooge he “opposes” boots-on-the-ground wars to simply replace with AI Technocratic wars so his sugar daddy Thiel can profit. Daniel Larison has also written about Vance’s staunchly pro-Israel views and record. 

(13) Another leading funder for Taglit/Birthright is the Argentine Jewish oligarch Eduardo Elsztain, chairman of the World Jewish Congress Governing Board and a regular participant at the World Economic Forum. It was Elsztain who “opened the doors” to Chabad in Argentina, serving as their president. Elsztain presides over a vast agricultural and construction empire that owns many hectares and mining interests throughout Argentina and neighboring countries. His connections to Javier Milei are such that he has been considered Milei’s “spiritual guide” and “whisperer.” Little surprise then, that Milei’s policies favor oligarchic control over Patagonia (Plan Andinia?) by Israeli and Chabad interests. Meanwhile, Elsztain is an investor in many Israeli ventures. 

(14) Hedge fund manager John Paulson profited immensely off the 2008-2009 financial crisis. This vulture felt personally threatened by the Occupy Wall Street movement (which ultimately was co-opted and neutered through the Corporate Woke psyop). Paulson extensively funds cultural institutions throughout Israel. Unlike Paulson, who contributed to Trump’s three Republican campaigns, Singer was a “Never Trumper” until 2024 when the mass of Wall Street billionaires and Big Tech oligarchs conclusively tied their mantle to Trump’s empty suit. Another profiteer from the US financial crisis, Singer is notorious for buying “sovereign” debt from nations in or near default and “collected” on it via the nation’s resources. Called a vulture capitalist “who devoured Peru,” in 1996 he bought defaulted debt for $11.4 million then collected on it for $58 million. He continued the same scavenging in Argentina, buying their debt, “which resulted in a $4.65 billion cash settlement forcing the nation into default.” He founded Start Up Nation, the Tel Aviv organization that connects Israeli business and political leaders to tech startups (many founded by Unit 8200 alumni). Here in the US, Singer promotes various Zionist causes and is also a leading advocate for bombing Iran.    

(15) A long-term infiltration that has its roots with the beginning of Empire, when corporate interests - the Deep State or Military-Industrial Complex - "privatized" the military's operations for profits. But it has intensified now with Technocratic public-private partnership combined with subversion by pro-Israel political interests ruling the roost at the Pentagon. 9/11 was a major internal coup in this regard, setting off a chain of events that included the increased use of drone warfare under Obama, enabling AI war technocrats like Palantir. His successors built upon that, while Biden shook up the military with jab mandates and Woke directives as part of this structural transition. Trump is doing the same now with automation in concert with his Technocratic friends combined with Woke loyalty tests for Israel. Towards automation we can cite the creation of Detachment 201 at the Bilderberg meeting in June 2025, four civilian Big Tech executives “sworn in” as Army officers: On the surface automation is replacement with AI and machines, but actually means control by those behind those tech operations. 

In Feb. 2025, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. CQ Brown Jr., a sceptic of intervention in the Mideast, was replaced by Iran war-hawk Gen. Dan Caine. Caine served as an advisor for Thrive Capital, founded by Jared Kushner's brother Joshua Kushner, and funded by Peter Thiel. As such he is the archetypal Wall Street general working closely with civilian business elites, brilliantly described by Smedley Butler and other historic opponents of Empire. 

In April, the Signal leak was used as an excuse to scapegoat and purge more intervention-skeptical people like Dan Caldwell from the Pentagon. The media was complicit in turning a story actually about collusion at the highest levels with Israel to get the U.S. to fight its wars against the Houthis and Iran, into a distraction about “incompetence.” In June, Col. Nathan McCormack, Levant and Egypt branch chief within the Joint Chiefs of Staff's planning directorate, was purged after this authentic American patriot wrote (accurately) on social media: “I've lately been considering whether we might be Israel's proxy and not realized it yet. Our worst 'ally'. We get literally nothing out of the 'partnership' other than the enmity of millions of people in the Middle East, Africa and Asia,” and condemned “Netanyahu and his Judeo-supremacist cronies” who want to “cleanse” the land of Palestinians.

(16) In that same interview, Bruce lamented that she was "not Jewish" but Italian, but that after Oct. 7, 2023, she had a Star of David necklace custom made for her to express devotion to Israel. This combined with Elon Musk's "I am aspirationally Jewish" and Peter Thiel’s “I defer to Israel”, expresses what I have described as an emerging Technocratic Noahidism, defined on two grounds. First, an archetype of Gentiles who profess a broad belief in a monotheistic god, but whose personal lives and beliefs do not fit the mold of any religion; yet they seem to have internalized the Judeo-supremacism of Zionism for their own political and ideological motives, as a placeholder for any meaningful identity of their own. And second, their alignment to the sort of linear messianism extolled by Zionism, often couched in terms of technology or some nebulous political “values”.

(17) Just to give a handful of examples: Huckabee denied the very existence of a Palestinian people, calling the West Bank “Judea and Samaria”; his fawning tweet to Trump, calling him a “savior” figure similar to Truman’s decision to use nuclear weapons in 1945, and promising to be “the last one to leave”; insulted the entire Irish nation, giving in to stereotypes of them falling “into a vat of Guinness” and needing to “sober up” due to their Occupied Territories Bill; in a June interview with BBC, paraphrasing a Marx-like argument of “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” to advocate Israel taking all the land and the Palestinians establishing a state in a Muslim country’s land; and in late July, meeting with a group of fanatic rabbis from the Degel HaTorah Party in Bnei Brak, telling them Israel should be “a nation of soldiers and Torah scholars,” and ascribed “anti-Semitism” to “because you are the chosen people, given a chosen place for a chosen purpose, and if someone is angry at God, they will be angry at the people who represent him.”

Given my own Catholic familial and cultural background, combined with the dominant view of mainstream Christian observers, I can say firmly (even as a Pagan/Animist ‘outsider’): Christian Zionism is a heresy, founded in Dispensationalism and spread by Scofield with his suspicious funding sources. And as with other heresies, they become even more so over time, so that they are now elevating Israel even over the figure of Jesus. For example, denying the ‘salvation’ coming through Jesus and his bringing a new covenant that did away with the old, by preaching a dual covenant which affirms a distinct, “chosen” status for the Jews vis-à-vis all other peoples. It started as a tactical plan where the in-gathering of Jews into Palestine meant hastening the “second coming” of Christ who would ultimately convert them. But even that has been largely abandoned, with Christian Zionist leaders consenting to changing the “inerrant word of God” (such as via the Israel Bible) shed of anything viewed as “anti-Semitic”; supporting efforts to rebuild the Temple (including both Hegseth and Huckabee, and the Temple builders’ direct ties to Trump himself) against the stern warnings of Jesus (John 2:16-21) and Paul (Hebrews 10:8-10). This is what can be called the Noahidization of Christian Zionism, as it continues to be infiltrated even more with political Zionism and Kabbalistic doctrines rapidly shedding even the semblance of a “Christian” heresy.

(18) Hamas is a common bogeyman evoked by Israel-Firsters here in the US. In its infamous “Project Esther” blueprint for eroding American civil liberties on behalf of this foreign nation, the Heritage Foundation – which endorsed Bondi’s appointment – fearmongered about a global “Hamas Support Network (HSN).” The truth is that extensive evidence points to Hamas being funded from the beginning by the Israeli State as a counterbalance to Palestinian moderates and secular nationalists whose work was currying favor in global public opinion. This Israeli support for Hamas continued up to the present day such that Netanyahu encouraged Qatar to keep funding Hamas. Zionist propaganda has been perverse in libeling American opponents of Israel-First policy as “Qatari agents” when Israel and Qatar has been allied – and indeed Netanyahu’s corruption trial is even called “Qatargate” within Israel. Contrary to Zionist propaganda, Iran had long ceased to be a financier for Hamas: They had a falling out after that Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood supported the Syrian rebels against Bashar al-Assad. In recent years Ismail Haniyeh was trying to reconcile with Iran, which is why Israel assassinated him in Teheran – but still the fact remains Hamas is a Frankenstein of the Israeli State itself, a convenient bogeyman to justify genocide against the Palestinians toward a Greater Israel.
