Is Israel Planning to Assassinate Trump?

"When you read Jewish law in many places, you might understand that gentiles can be killed freely without any problems." -- Rabbi Yitzak Shapira, interview on Radio Kol Hai (July, 2011) 

 In January 2012, Andrew Adler, the owner and publisher of a small weekly newspaper called the Atlanta Jewish Times, sparked considerable controversy when he penned an article titled 'What Would You Do?' in which he put forth three possible responses Israel might pursue if Iran were to acquire a nuclear weapon. The first two -- pre-emptive strikes on Hezbollah and Hamas and disobeying the US Secretary of Defense to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities -- failed to raise any eyebrows. Adler's third suggestion, however, would result in his immediate resignation as editor and the subsequent sale of his newspaper:

"Three, give the go-ahead for U.S.-based Mossad agents to take out a president deemed unfriendly to Israel in order for the current vice president to take his place, and forcefully dictate that the United States policy includes its helping the Jewish state obliterate its enemies. Yes, you read "three" correctly. Order a hit on a president in order to preserve Israel's existence. Think about it. If I have thought of this Tom Clancy-type scenario, don't you think that this almost unfathomable idea has been discussed in Israel's most inner circles?... You have got to believe, like I do, that all options are on the table."

Almost immediately, the article became headline news around the country forcing major Jewish organizations like the ADL and AJC to feign indignation, and within a week the US Secret Service had launched an 'investigation' into the matter while a teary-eyed Adler appeared on the Atlanta Interfaith Broadcasting network's cable TV show to disavow his column and explain that he actually held a favorable view of President Obama!

Adler's straight-talk, shocking though it may seem to some, provides crucial insight into the mentality of God's chosen people and the candor they often use when speaking amongst themselves. Killing a foreign or domestic head of state who presents a perceived obstacle to the preservation of fragile little Israel is not unknown to history, as any reader of Laurent Guyenot's indispensable book The Unspoken Kennedy Truth or Ronen Bergman's 2018 bestseller Rise and Kill First: The Secret History of Israel's Targeted Assassinations can confidently assure you.

A few months ago I met up for lunch with an old friend who, after years of intransigence, has finally reclaimed his mind from the Zionist propagandists and taken a deeper interest in topics like Israel/Palestine and Jewish influence in American affairs. During the course of our conversation, I casually mentioned the likelihood that Israeli leaders have considered assassinating Donald Trump for the purpose of expanding US involvement in the war with Iran. My friend, visibly stunned by the idea, asked why in the world Israel would do such a thing when Trump is by all appearances Israel's top goy, performing nearly every trick demanded of him by Netanyahu and the Israel Lobby. I responded that it doesn't matter how much Trump does for Israel, the minute he's deemed more valuable dead than alive the Zionists will begin workshopping a scenario in which the increasingly unpopular 'leader of the free world' can be eliminated in such a way that Iran can be blamed and the American military can be dragged deeper into the conflict upon the pretext of revenge. Indeed, Israeli intelligence has been priming the pump for an "Iranian" assassination of Trump since 2024, absurdly trying to link the events in Butler, PA and Ryan Routh's golf course shenanigans to Tehran. I told my friend that while I believe the chances of an assassination actually happening are low, I do think it's probable the Jews will develop a plan, if they haven't already, to have in the back pocket as a last resort. Certainly, there's no shortage of historical precedent supporting the notion.

My hypothetical took on new life this past week when it was reported in the mainstream media that Israeli intelligence had alerted the US that Iranian agents were planning to shoot down Trump's plane with shoulder-fired missiles as he departed the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey on July 8. The warning was taken seriously enough that the Secret Service had Trump switch planes twice before finally leaving in the hopes of deceiving any would-be attackers. According to The Times of Israel:

"Israel told the United States about the Iranian assassination threat that prompted the US Secret Service to take President Donald Trump off Air Force One and transfer him in a catering truck to a military plane as he prepared to fly out of Turkey last month, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, citing an unnamed US official. 

Later Tuesday, Trump confirmed that he had indeed been smuggled off Air Force One in Ankara because the Secret Service and US military told him to switch planes. Israeli intelligence indicated that Iran was plotting to use shoulder-to-air missiles to take down Trump's plane, according to the WSJ report. Senior Trump aides, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, remained on the plane despite the threat, the official said. The WSJ reported last month that Israeli intelligence had indicated a new plot was in development to assassinate the US president, but did not provide details. ... Trump had flown to the NATO summit in Ankara aboard a newly-renovated Qatari-donated jet. The trip was the first international travel for the new plane, whose speedy upgrades triggered questions over its cost and security, and took place as hostilities escalated with Iran, which borders Turkey.

Before departing the Turkish capital, Trump said he would instead use an older baby blue Air Force One plane "for old time's sake" to RAF Mildenhall in Britain, while the new Qatari-gifted plane stopped at the same base so US service members stationed there could tour the aircraft. But after Trump boarded the old Air Force One in front of cameras in Ankara, he was secretly shuttled by an airport catering truck to a smaller plane, an Air Force C-32A, the Washington Post revealed Monday."

Probably not coincidentally, all of this transpired a mere day after Trump and Turkish President Recep Erdogan held a private bilateral meeting during which Trump discussed the possibility of Turkey's reentry into the F-35 Lightning II program, while also announcing his commitment to lift the CAATSA sanctions placed on Turkey by the US government seven years ago. Originally a co-producer and buyer in the fighter jet program, Turkey was removed in 2020 following its acquisition of the Russian S-400 missile defense system. Trump remarked that his administration is "certainly" considering the sale of F-35s to Turkey and openly praised Erdogan as "a very good ally," telling reporters at the NATO summit: "Turkey has been much more loyal than other countries that we think would be loyal."

Considering the fact that Turkey is rapidly emerging as one of Israel's biggest strategic adversaries, these developments must have sent shockwaves through Tel Aviv. An August 10 article on the Quincy Institute's Responsible Statecraft website points out that: 

"Within 72 hours of the Ankara summit, Netanyahu took his objections to three American networks, arguing that Erdogan was 'not a friend' and could not be trusted... Israeli leaders, eager to drive a wedge into Ankara's relationship with Washington, appear determined to cast Turkey as the next Iran."

It's possible that at least part of the reason for Trump's flirtation with Erdogan is to antagonize Israel at a time when the Zionist state is doing almost everything it can to scupper US peace agreements with Iran. It's just as possible that Israel, by way of retaliation, is seeding the narrative that Iran is striving to help the vainglorious 47th President off this mortal coil as a way of threatening Trump back into line. It should be pointed out that immediately following the great plane switcheroo in Ankara, the US military conducted a heavy wave of airstrikes, hitting 90 targets across Iran. Two days later, the US initiated a bombing campaign that lasted for 13 consecutive nights. If the intent of the "Iranian threat" was to bring Trump back under heel, it would seem he got the message.

While the CIA considers an Iranian threat to Air Force One dubious, the idea of shooting down an aircraft with innocent lives onboard to kill but one man is not a novel one in Israel. On pp. 272-273 of his aforementioned bestseller, Israeli journalist Ronen Bergman describes how Israel's Minister of Defense Ariel 'Butcher of Beirut' Sharon once hatched a plan to shoot down a commercial airliner carrying PLO leader Yasser Arafat:

"When the Mossad reported that Arafat was flying more commercial flights... Sharon decided that one of those would make a legitimate target. He ordered Eitan, the air force, and the operations branch to come up with a plan to shoot down a civilian jetliner. 

Sharon sketched out the broad parameters. The flight would have to be shot down over the open sea, far from the coast, so that it would take investigators a long time to find the wreckage and establish whether it had been hit by a missile or had crashed due to engine failure. Deep water would be preferable, to make recovery even more difficult... The air force drew up a detailed plan to shoot down an airliner. Its representatives at the Goldfish forum explained that they had chosen a precise spot on the commercial air route across the Mediterranean, one where there was no continuous radar coverage by any nation and where the sea below was a daunting three miles deep. A salvage operation there would be extremely difficult, perhaps impossible, with the technology of the time. This complex plan set strict parameters for where the Israeli aircraft could shoot down Arafat's plane undetected, which meant there would be a fairly narrow window of opportunity for executing the attack. ... General Gilboa expressed his sharp opposition to these operations time and again. 'It was clear to me that the air force would execute it as well as could be, and the plane would vanish forever. They do what they are told, and if you give them an order to build a pipeline to move blood from Haifa to the Negev, they'll do it excellently and won't for a moment ask whose blood it is...'"

Whether he knows it or not, Trump, the one-time casino mogul, is dicing with death, playing into the hands of potential Israeli assassins by repeatedly claiming that the US would "completely decimate and destroy" Iran if it succeeded in knocking him off. Quite foolishly, Trump has told journalists he's "left instructions" to "literally bomb them at levels they've never seen before" if such an event were to occur. One can only imagine the frenzied Happy Merchant-style hand-rubbing taking place among members of Netanyahu's cabinet when they hear remarks like these from Trump.

I'm sure there are many Iranians who would like to see Trump bite the dust. After all, he is responsible for the murders of the country's military hero General Qasem Soleimani and its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, whose family members were also killed and maimed in the joint US/Israeli airstrikes on his residential compound in February. Trump made these decisions entirely on behalf of Israel and we're left to wonder whether or not he realizes with the benefit of hindsight that he's bumbled his way into a carefully laid trap. With Iran's victory in the war all but assured absent the use of nuclear weapons or a ground invasion by US forces, Israel is getting desperate to increase America's military presence in the region. Would they go so far as to assassinate a sitting US president for at least the second time in history? I don't know, but in the words of Andrew Adler: "Think about it. If I have thought of this Tom Clancy-type scenario, don't you think that this almost unfathomable idea has been discussed in Israel's most inner circles?... You have got to believe, like I do, that all options are on the table."

Rahm & Bibi: Opposing Pillars of Jewish Thought

"Emanuel... has long been seen as a strong supporter of Israel within the Democratic party. His evolving position is unquestionably a reaction to increasing anti-Israel public sentiment, particularly on the American Left." -- Blaise Malley, Responsible Statecraft (Jul. 9, 2026)

After witnessing a nearly three-years-long holocaust perpetrated by the Israeli Defense Forces against women and children in Gaza, virtually the entire world is beginning to harbor feelings of revulsion towards the Zionist state and its leader Benjamin Netanyahu. Not since Israel's founding in 1948 have Americans had a more negative view of their 'gallant little democratic ally in the Middle East,' to borrow a phrase from the late Dr. William Pierce. Gallup, the American multinational analytics company known for conducting public opinion polls, recently commented on the drastic shift in American sympathies vis a vis Israel/Palestine while analyzing polling data from the past few years:

"From 2001 to 2005, Israelis consistently held double-digit leads in Americans' Middle East sympathies, with the gap averaging 43 points between 2001 and 2018. However, public opinion began narrowing in 2019, several years before the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and the subsequent war in Gaza. The cumulative effect of gradual changes in U.S. attitudes since then has led to the Israelis no longer being viewed more sympathetically."

Not oblivious to the changing tides of public opinion, clever intriguers like Rahm Emanuel are right now hard at work levelling the land for the development of a centrist plantation upon which criticism of Netanyahu and aspects of his Likud regime -- and US support for it -- are tolerated in the hopes of reclaiming the support of disillusioned voters by affixing a more palatable face to the pro-Israel cause. (Reuters/Ipsos polling shows Israel's favorability rating at 22% among Democrats.)

On pp. 156-157 of his 2008 textbook Judaism Discovered, revisionist historian Michael Hoffman provides a crucial insight into the complex system of deceit known as Judaism: 

"The Kabbalistic temple is supported by the pillar of chesed (mercy) and the pillar of gevurah (severity), both are required to support Judaism's supremacy. These two seemingly opposing pillars offer two ways of relating to the world depending on the spirit of the age in which Judaism finds itself situated. Judaism's Temple is the synthesis of these two forces. The Temple cannot be sustained only by presenting a lenient or merciful face, or only by severe or judgmental means. ...'pairs' produce the synthesis that is Judaism in all of its indissolubly connected, subterranean minutiae."

Widely considered a contender for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, Emanuel recently travelled to Israel to deliver a speech to a packed hall at Tel Aviv University, addressing, among other topics, an end to unconditional US support for Israel. The Jewish Telegraph Agency reported that during the course of his speech -- in which he referred to Israel as a "pariah" -- Emanuel put forth a "proposal for U.S. sanctions targeting Israelis who attack Palestinian civilians and property, Israeli officials who voice support for that violence, and companies and banks that support 'illegal settlements."'

The speech, titled "An Honest Conversation: The U.S.-Israel Relationship, Where it Stands Today and the Road Ahead," is an obvious attempt by the prominent Democrat to repair the fractured Israel/Washington alliance, while rehabilitating his image as a "vocal Zionist" in anticipation of the 2028 presidential election. Some rather gullible commentators have already fallen for the ruse, like the Lebanese-Australian Mario Nawfal, who triumphantly tweeted: "The era of unconditional U.S. support for Israel just ended. And Rahm Emanuel flew to Tel Aviv to say it to their faces. His speech is designed to land like a thunderclap, and the messenger guarantees it does. Emanuel is not a progressive activist. He's a centrist."

A more cynical person might ask: If Rahm Emanuel cares so deeply about the plight of Palestinian civilians and ending unconditional foreign aid to Israel, why has he failed to raise either of these issues until now, when Netanyahu's government is losing the support of the entire Western world? [1] The answer resides in the fact that Emanuel is a dyed-in-the-wool Zionist who doesn't actually care about the aforementioned issues. Rather, his lofty political ambitions within the Democratic Party coupled with historically low support for Israel, has made it necessary for Emanuel to present himself as the light square of leniency juxtaposed with Netanyahu's dark square of severity on the checkered floor of the Jewish Temple. 

Rahm Israel Emanuel was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1959 to Dr. Benjamin Emanuel and Marsha Smulevitz. He attended Rabbi Solomon Goldman's Anshe Emet Day School, a private Jewish school, until 1968, when the family moved to Wilmette, Illinois, whereupon he was enrolled in public school and graduated from New Trier West High in 1977. [2] Throughout his youth, Rahm would attend annual summer camps in Israel --including the summer following the 1967 Six-Day War -- which no doubt amplified the already passionate ethnic sentiments inherited via his family's close ties to Israel and political activism.

Emanuel's father, Benjamin Auerbach (1927 - 2019), was a pediatrician born in Jerusalem in 1927. His parents, having fled to Palestine from Odessa in 1905, changed the family name to Emanuel in honor of Benjamin's older brother Emanuel Auerbach, who died after being struck by a bullet fragment during a conflict between Jews, Arabs and police during the British occupation of Palestine in 1933. No doubt influenced by this event, Benjamin would later be persuaded by his cousin to join the underground Zionist terror organization Irgun to, in his own words, "sabotage the British Empire, to send letters with bombs in them to England." [3] Emanuel was operating as a weapons smuggler for the Irgun (a forerunner of Netanyahu's Likud Party) when the group bombed the King David Hotel, Britain's administrative headquarters, in 1946, and was very much involved in supplying weapons to Menachem Begin's militants during Israel's War of Independence in 1948.

In 1953, Benjamin immigrated to Chicago where he met his wife Marsha Smulevitz, an X-ray technician at Mount Sinai Hospital and an activist in the Civil Rights Movement. Between 1957 and 1961, the couple had three sons, Ezekiel, Rahm and Ari, who have all achieved high levels of success in their respective careers. [4] After Benjamin's death, Rahm remembered his father as the quintessential Israeli: 

"There was no sweetness. No softness around the edges. It's how Israelis are. This was a guy who said he loved you by calling you a schmuck and hitting you in the back of the head. A lot of people call you a schmuck, but not a lot of people say it with a hit, then say 'I love you.' That's who he was."

Emanuel became involved in politics in the early 1980s while enrolled at Northwestern University, where he earned a master's degree in speech and communication. His first job in politics -- as spokesman for the Illinois Public Action Council -- brought him into contact with an ambitious Jew named David Axelrod, and the pair became close friends two years later while working on the victorious Senate campaign of Paul Simon. The success of the Simon campaign helped launch the political careers of Axelrod and Emanuel who would both one day occupy key positions within the administration of President Obama.

In early 1991, Emanuel volunteered for a short stint in the IDF as part of Israel's Sar-el program, where he worked as a tank mechanic at one of Israel's northern bases during the Gulf War. He relocated to Little Rock, Arkansas upon his return to the United States to serve as the chief fundraiser for Governor Bill Clinton's presidential campaign, helping to raise over $120 million for the degenerate 42nd President of the United States. Clinton would appoint the crafty dual-loyalist political director of the new administration following his election victory in November 1992, before reassigning him the position of Deputy Communications Director and Senior Advisor to the President for Policy and Strategy, from where Emanuel was instrumental in the destruction of nearly one million US jobs as the primary architect of the infamous North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

After the Clinton administration came to an end, Emanuel went to work at the Chicago office of the investment firm Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein where he mysteriously made $16 million in two years before deciding to run for Congress in 2002. He was elected and represented Illinois's 5th district from 2003 - 2009, burnishing his reputation as a pro-Israel hardliner almost immediately upon taking office by signing a letter to then-President George W. Bush defending the Jewish state's controversial policy of assassinating Palestinian leaders and criticizing Bush for being insufficiently supportive of Israel! For many years afterwards, he whole-heartedly defended Bush's decision to invade Iraq, even after joining the Obama administration and mildly critiquing certain aspects of the war.

When Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the United States he plucked Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod out of the Chicago political cesspit to accompany him to the White House as his Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor, respectively. Just days after Obama's election, Benjamin Emanuel caused a commotion when he boasted to a reporter from Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv that his son was now in a position to influence the newly-elected president's stance towards Israel: "Obviously, he'll influence the president to be pro-Israel. Why wouldn't he? What is he, an Arab? He's not going to be mopping floors at the White House." 

The younger Emanuel left his post as White House Chief of Staff towards the end of 2010 to run for mayor of Chicago. He received overwhelming support from Jewish and LGBT voters and ultimately raised over $10 million dollars, in part through large contributions from people like Steven Spielberg and Donald Trump, close friends of his brother Ari Emanuel. Emanuel's controversy-plagued two terms as Mayor of Chicago earned him the sobriquet "Mayor 1%" for his economic policies favoring the wealthy, and by the time the "attack dog, policy wonk, committed Jew" was out of office in 2019, Chicago was a financial basket case with a surging murder rate driven by gang-related violence.

Catholic scholar Dr. E. Michael Jones often points out that "existence calls forth a new essence." In explaining the dictum, Jones has cited the story of the Pilgrims, who landed on the shores of Massachusetts Bay as Calvinists before being mugged by the reality of the frontier, leading to the Halfway Covenant and a continuous modification of their Calvinist essence as Western expansion progressed. There's no question that on some level a similar process is taking place today within the precincts of organized Jewry, though the authenticity of Rahm Emanuel's conversion to rationality is called into question by the fundamental principles of the Orthodox Jewish religion to which he and his family are dedicated devotees. [5] 

In his book The Talmud Tested (first published as The Old Paths in 1854), Irish Hebraist and missionary Alexander McCaul devotes a number of pages to analyzing a section of the Talmud called Hilchoth Accum, part of which captures the duplicity found throughout Jewish teaching:

"The poor of the idolators (non-Jews) are to be fed with the poor of Israel for the sake of the ways of peace. They are also permitted to have part of the gleaning, the forgotten sheaf, and the corner of the field, for the sake of the ways of the peace. It is also lawful to ask after their health, even on their feast-day, for the sake of the ways of the peace; but never to return the salutation, nor to enter the house of an idolator on the day of his festival to salute him. If he be met in the street, he is to be saluted in a low tone of voice, and with a heavy head. But all these things are said only of the time that Israel is in captivity among the nations, or that the hand of the idolators is strong upon Israel.  But when the hand of Israel is strong upon them, we are forbidden to suffer an idolator among us, even so much as to sojourn incidentally, or to pass from place to place with merchandise." [Italics in original]

Commenting on the passage, Dr. McCaul states: "...the reader may now judge whether the words, 'For the sake of the ways of peace,' can be interpreted as... 'for the good of society.' If so, then 'the good of society' is to be consulted only whilst the Jews are in captivity, and the Gentiles have got the power: but as soon as the Jews get the power, 'the good of society' may safely be disregarded. The meaning plainly is, that in the present position of affairs it is advisable to keep the peace between Jews and Gentiles, inasmuch as the Gentiles are at present the strongest."

The outrage towards Israel felt by millions of Americans on both sides of the political divide since the Gaza 'War' began in October 2023, has made it necessary for any aspiring candidate for higher office to publicly adopt a more measured tone on Israel/Palestine and US support for the genocidal regime. Because Rahm Emanuel and the Jewish oligarchs have yet to achieve complete mastery over the United States, certain concessions must be made "for the sake of the ways of the peace." 

The concept of 'pairs' is a foundational one in Judaism and is expressed through several traditional ideas. During the Second Temple period (170 BC - 30 AD) there were five successive pairs of rabbis whose role it was to preserve and transmit the Oral Law that would one day be committed to writing as the Talmud. These pairs are known in Hebrew as 'the zugot,' the most famous of which are Hillel and Shammai, who laid the framework for rabbinic debate with their opposing schools of thought. Michael Hoffman, in his book Judaism's Strange Gods, describes the pair within the context of mystical Judaism:

"Hillel serves his purpose within the rabbinic semiotic by acting as poster boy for the Kabbalistic pillar of chesed. But the rule of Shammai, the pillar of gevurah, also forms a significant part of the reality of Orthodox Judaism... In truth they are complimentary, as the mystical Kabbalah compliments the bureaucratic Talmud, thesis and antithesis; yin and yang -- the "zugot" who symbolize the subterranean synthesis that is Judaism in its indissolubly interconnected esoteric reconciliation of apparent opposites."

When considering Rahm Emanuel's Zionist pedigree and professional trajectory, it's fair to wonder whether some variation of the ancient 'opposing pairs' theater is being performed right now with Benjamin Netanyahu. [6] A July 6 article in Politico hints at this theme while pondering Emanuel's presidential prospects:

"Emanuel's presidential ambitions so far are defined by two pillars. One is the essential plausibility of his resume... There's no one in the gathering field who has such a diverse range of experiences and personal associations, or moves as confidently or as restlessly in policy debates. The other pillar is the essential implausibility, amid prevailing political currents, of his nascent candidacy: He is an establishment centrist who is deeply mistrusted by many of the more left-leaning, insurgent and increasingly Israel-skeptical activists who reasonably believe their energy will power the party's next generation. 

Netanyahu is a useful foil, and a potential bridge between the two pillars. Emanuel can accurately tell younger Democrats: Trust me, I have been at this fight longer than you have, and I have the enemies to show for it."

Notes:

1.) As Obama's chief of staff in 2009, Emanuel momentarily incurred Netanyahu's wrath after suggesting that Israel should halt its settlements in the West Bank; although this had more to do with maintaining Israel's relationship with America than any humanitarian considerations.

2.) Goldman, a member of the Zionist Organization of America and the World Zionist Congress, was "especially known for helping to popularize the cause of Zionism in the United States."

3.) Benjamin Emanuel claimed that he refused to mail letter bombs to the British.

4.) Hollywood producer Ari Emanuel once called on people in the movie industry to blackball Mel Gibson over his movie The Passion of the Christ.

5.) Emanuel's longtime rabbi, Asher Lopatin, is a Rhodes Scholar and member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

6.) Similarly, suspected 9/11 conspirators Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert are often presented as reasonable voices of opposition to Itamar Ben-Gvir, Bezalel Smotrich and the fanatical Israeli settlers.

Larry Ellison and the Elders of Zion

"Our power in the present tottering condition of all forms of power will be more invincible than any other, because it will remain invisible until the moment when it has gained such strength that no cunning can any longer undermine it." -- Protocol No. 1

The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, that controversial document which came to light in the early 20th century, continues to prove extraordinarily prescient. Purported to be a detailed Jewish plot for global conquest, the Protocols were the subject of much consideration by a number of distinguished individuals following the document's publication by Russian academic Sergei Nilus in 1905. Soon after, the Protocols was translated into dozens of languages and was widely distributed throughout Europe, America, Asia and the Middle East. [1] 

The story of how the Protocols ended up in Nilus's hands is still a matter of debate over a century later. 

The most persuasive origin story appears in the 1931 book Waters Flowing Eastward, written by Paquita Louise de Shishmareff (1882 - 1970) under the pen name Leslie Fry. While living in St. Petersburg in 1906, Fry married Russian Imperial Army officer Feodor Ivanovich Shishmarev, who belonged to an old-line family of Russian nobility. [2] In her book, Fry claims that in 1884 Justine Glinka, the daughter of distinguished Russian diplomat Dmitry Glinka, obtained a copy of the Protocols from a Jewish Freemason in Paris named Joseph Schorst for a price of 2,500 francs. Fry believed that Schorst (real name Theodore Joseph Schapiro) had purloined the document from the archives of a Mizraim Masonic Lodge in Paris, and that the most likely author of the controversial text was Jewish writer and 'cultural Zionist' Asher Ginzberg. [3] Fry contends that upon receipt of the document, Justine Glinka:

"...forwarded the French original, accompanied by a Russian translation, to Orgevskii [Secretary to the Russian Minister of the Interior], who in turn handed it to his chief, General Cherevin, for transmission to the Tsar. But Cherevin, under obligation to wealthy Jews, refused to transmit it, merely filing it in the archives. Meantime there appeared in Paris certain books on Russian court life which displeased the Tsar, who ordered his secret police to discover their authorship. This was falsely attributed, perhaps with malicious intent, to Mlle. Glinka, and on her return to Russia she was banished to her estate in Orel. To the marechal de noblesse of this district, Alexis Sukhotin, Mlle. Glinka gave a copy of the Protocols. Sukhotin showed the document to two friends, Stepanov and Nilus; the former had it printed and circulated privately in 1897; the second, Professor Sergius A. Nilus, published it for the first time in Tsarskoe-Tselo (Russia) in 1901 (sic), in a book entitled The Great Within the Small. Then, about the same time, a friend of Nilus, G. Butmi, also brought it out and a copy was deposited in the British Museum on August 10, 1906."

While in America in 1920, Leslie Fry met with Henry Ford and furnished him a copy of the Protocols, which the famed industrialist used as the basis for a series of articles on the Jewish Question published in his Michigan-based newspaper the Dearborn Independent and later compiled into the book The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem. [4] The rapid dissemination of the Protocols throughout the world seems to have created somewhat of a crisis inside the precincts of world Jewry. As prominent individuals like Ford, Fry and Cherep Spiridovich -- as well as publications like London's The Morning Post -- publicly revealed the shocking contents of the Protocols to reading audiences far and wide, attempts were made to discredit the document's authenticity.

The basis for the claim that the Protocols are a 'forgery' dates back to 1920, when Jewish journalist Lucien Wolf penned an article for a Jewish Board of Deputies newsletter claiming that the text is a plagiary of the mid-19th century works of Maurice Joly and Hermann Goedsche. [5] The following year, Anglo-Irish journalist Philip Graves triumphantly 'exposed' the Protocols as fraudulent in a series of articles for The Times of London. No doubt influenced by Wolf's prior writings, Graves announced to much media fanfare that the Protocols were a composite document made up of fragments of older works that had been written in the years preceding Nilus's translation. 

Philip Graves wasn't exactly a disinterested fellow, however. 

From 1915 - 1919, Graves served as a British Army Intelligence captain in Cairo, Egypt, working alongside British military intelligence officer 'Lawrence of Arabia,' who became famous for his role in the 1916 Arab Revolt which drove the Ottomans out of Palestine and paved the way for the Balfour Declaration. His brother, the poet/novelist Robert Graves, had a years-long homosexual relationship with Siegfried Sassoon of the wealthy Baghdadi Jewish dynasty that ended when Graves married feminist Nancy Nicholson, leaving the sodomite Sassoon despondent. Meanwhile, Graves' uncle, Sir Robert Windham Graves, was a British Consul in Turkey who also worked for Civil Intelligence in Cairo. [6] Peter Grose, a foreign correspondent for the New York Times and a writer for the globalist think tank Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), claims in his book Gentleman Spy: The Life of Allen Dulles, that Graves' source for his articles discrediting the Protocols was a 'Russian émigré' provided to him by the subject of his book, none other than CIA chief Allen Dulles. [7]

So, what exactly do the Protocols say? The late Dr. William Luther Pierce, founder of white separatist organization National Alliance, succinctly summarized the text's main themes during a broadcast of his weekly radio show American Dissident Voices in the early 1990s: 

"They talk about gaining control of the banking system of various countries; about fomenting wars and revolutions to weaken and destroy Gentile power; about corrupting music, art and education; about subverting various Gentile institutions; about taking over the press everywhere and controlling the flow of information to the masses; about undermining the family and bringing family values into disrepute, and so on."

The remarkable way in which all of the aforementioned has been achieved lends credibility to the idea that the Protocols may in fact be genuine. Indeed, world events continue to unfold daily which seem to affirm the validity of this diabolical conspiracy.

TikTok Takeover

"There is one great force in the hands of modern governments which creates thought movements among the people, that is, the Press." -- Protocol No. 2

In August 2025, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a Newsmax-hosted reception of U.S. journalists and social media influencers in Jerusalem, where he identified the battle for public opinion as the "eighth front" in Israel's war, saying: "Seven fronts against Iran and its proxies, the eighth front, the battle for truth." Netanyahu's anxiety stems from the fact that a majority of people now receive their news via social media, which isn't entirely under Jewish control just yet. Since the Gaza 'War' began in October 2023, viral videos exhibiting the genocidal nature of God's chosen people have been viewed millions of times around the world on social media platforms like TikTok and X. This has resulted in the collapse of Israel's reputation on the world stage, correction of which unsurprisingly ranks high on the Likud's list of priorities. Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, who also spoke at the event, told the assembled influencers of Israel's mission to build a "network of ambassadors... so Israel's story is told with clarity and truth."

A month after the Jerusalem event, Netanyahu re-emphasized his P.R. concerns while addressing another group of influencers at the Israeli Consulate General in New York, informing his audience that social media is "the most important weapon... to secure our base in the US," while citing the (at the time) pending sale of TikTok as "the most important purchase going on right now," control of which would be "consequential." 

With almost 2 billion monthly active users, TikTok is among the biggest social media platforms in the world, and the top news source for Americans aged 18 to 29.

During his first term, Trump signed an executive order attempting to force the Chinese-owned app to sell its U.S. assets to an American company. Trump's 'Executive Order on Addressing the Threat Posed by TikTok' was issued on August 6, 2020 and sought to outlaw any transactions between TikTok's parent company ByteDance and U.S. citizens, a move which company executives criticized for setting "a dangerous precedent for the concept of free expression and open markets." Eventually, the executive order was blocked by US District Court Judge Carl Nichols after TikTok filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration, and in 2021 the case was dismissed following Joe Biden's revocation of the executive order.

The main criticism of TikTok coming out of Washington DC prior to October 7, 2023 was that it could be used by the Chinese to steal users' data and promote Chinese Communist Party propaganda. This fear-mongering played well with Fox News-addled Boomers but failed to register with young Americans whose only reality has ever been an Orwellian surveillance state wherein privacy is spoken about as some relic from a distant past. Following October 7 and the subsequent wave of viral videos showing Israel's mistreatment of defenseless Palestinians, the real reason for DC's fixation began to manifest. According to a November 1, 2023 article on NBC News.com:

TikTok has been the target of criticism for years because of its Chinese ownership and concerns about government control over the app, a relationship that both Democrats and Republicans say is a threat to the personal data of U.S. users. 

Now, critics allege that TikTok is using its influence to push content that is pro-Palestinian and contrary to U.S. foreign policy interests. The claims about TikTok's promotion of pro-Palestinian content are anecdotal, and they have been bubbling up on the social media platform X, in statements to the media and on conservative media outlets such as Fox News... 

The renewed calls for a ban took off after Jeff Morris Jr., a tech venture capitalist and former executive with the dating app Tinder, wrote a series of posts on X last week. In his viral thread, Morris wrote about a "TikTok War" in which high schoolers and college students are getting the "wrong information" about Hamas and Israel... "When I engaged with one post on TikTok supporting opposing views, my entire feed became aggressively anti-Israel," Morris wrote... Morris also posted a screenshot of suggested hashtags generated by searches of the terms "Stand with palestine" and "Stand with israel" via TikTok's search bar. The hashtag "standwithpalestine" had 3.4 billion views worldwide as of Tuesday night, while "standwithisrael" had 313.6 million views worldwide -- a more than 10-to-1 ratio. "Israel is losing the TikTok war by a longshot," Morris wrote.

In April 2024, the US Congress signed into law 'The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act,' banning TikTok from the United States unless ByteDance sold its US assets to an American company. ByteDance complied in September 2025 after Trump brokered a $14 billion deal delivering TikTok's U.S. operations to a consortium of American investors led by Larry Ellison's multinational technology firm Oracle, a company with extremely close ties to Israel. Under the terms of the deal, Oracle will become one of the largest shareholders in the newly-created TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC, and will receive TikTok's algorithm, which can be modified specifically for U.S. users of the platform. Additionally, Oracle will have access to every TikTok user's data in America, adding to its already vast database management system which stores enormous amounts of enterprise data while providing extensive cloud applications for business functions.

Jewish-American businessman Larry Ellison is one of the top ten richest men in the world and a close personal friend of Bibi Netanyahu. As co-founder and owner of Oracle, Ellison's net worth is estimated between $192 billion and $225 billion and his immense wealth allowed him to purchase Hawaii's sixth largest island in 2012, where Netanyahu and his family vacationed in August 2021, mere weeks before Ellison offered Netanyahu a high-paying position on Oracle's board of directors (an offer Bibi declined). [8]  Following the outbreak of the Gaza 'War' in 2023, Ellison and other top executives at Oracle doubled the salaries of their Israeli employees and provided military gear valued at over $500,000 for soldiers in elite Israeli military units. In fact, between 2014 and 2017, Ellison donated $26.6 million to the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces, his $16.6 million gift in 2017 being the largest single donation in the organization's history.

The Ellison Media Empire

"Not one announcement will reach the people save under our supervision. We have attained this at the present time to the extent that all news is received through several agencies in which it is centralized from all parts of the world." -- Protocol No. 12

Over the past year, Larry Ellison and his son David have been able to assemble one of the largest media conglomerates in the world. It began when David's media production and financing company Skydance completed its acquisition and merger with Paramount Global in August 2025, forming a new entity called Paramount Skydance Corporation that gave Ellison control of Paramount Pictures, MTV, Nickelodeon, FuboTV, PlutoTV, Showtime, Comedy Central, VH1, CBS, and much else. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, a close friend of Elon Musk, worked closely with Ellison on the merger and afterwards faced accusations of violating legal and ethical standards for his role in it. (An ethics complaint filed by The Freedom of the Press Foundation with the District of Columbia Court of Appeals' Office of Disciplinary Counsel alleged that Carr had "engaged in egregious misconduct" and called for him to be disbarred.)

Having thus acquired CBS, David Ellison then bought Bari Weiss's small media company The Free Press for $150 million and installed Weiss as editor-in-chief of CBS News, despite her having no previous experience in broadcast journalism. Weiss, whose 2019 book How to Fight Anti-Semitism was denounced by journalist Glenn Greenwald as "designed to ruin the careers of Arab professors by equating their criticisms of Israel with racism, antisemitism, and bullying," then appointed Tony Dokoupil her CBS Evening News anchor. Dokoupil, a Zionist fanatic who underwent a second circumcision as an adult to complete his conversion to Judaism, received widespread criticism for a hostile interview he conducted in 2024 with black activist Ta-Nehisi Coates concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. An internal review by CBS executive Adrienne Roark determined that the segment "did not meet the network's editorial standards." However, Roark was overruled by former Paramount chairman Shari Redstone (Rothstein), who sided with her excitable co-religionist in the conflict.

On February 28, 2026 the Ellison media empire grew even larger when Paramount-Skydance acquired the entire Warner Bros. Discovery portfolio, including its television assets, in a $110 billion deal underwritten by Larry Ellison to the tune of $40 billion. The acquisition was allowed to transpire after GOP attorneys general and Capitol Hill lawmakers pressured Pam Bondi's Department of Justice to scrutinize the planned merger between Netflix and Warner Bros. that was initially agreed upon after Netflix made a $82.7 billion offer ($27.75 per share) for Warner's film, television and streaming assets. 

A February 25 article in The Hill reported: 

"A group of Republican attorneys general is asking the Department of Justice (DOJ) to scrutinize a planned merger between Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery, a deal that has come under fire in recent weeks over antitrust concerns and accusations from the right of what lawmakers argue is left-leaning bias at the streamer.... The letter comes a day after Paramount Skydance, the media conglomerate seeking to mount a hostile bid undercutting the $70 billion agreement between Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery, sweetened its offer to $31 per share and said it is willing to pay a multibillion dollar termination fee. [9]

President Trump's DOJ, which recently ousted the head of its antitrust division, will be charged with approving the merger. Trump in recent days has attacked Netflix over comments made by Susan Rice, a prominent member of its board, while Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill have raised concerns about Netflix's content, which they say caters to left-leaning audiences."

Attempting to withstand pressure from the Trump administration and Paramount's offer to pay a $7 billion termination fee if Warner scrapped its pending agreement with Netflix, Warner Bros. Discovery announced as late as February 25 that its board "continues to recommend in favor of the Netflix transaction and is not withdrawing or modifying its recommendation." But suddenly two days later it was announced to the surprise of everyone watching that Paramount Skydance had reached a definitive agreement valued at roughly $110 billion to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery and all of the television networks associated with it, including HBO, CNN, TNT, TBS, Discovery Channel, Food Network, HGTV, Cartoon Network, and many more. 

Present-Day Protocols

Whatever the truth may be regarding the Protocols, few honest Americans can deny that we are the inhabitants of an occupied nation laboring under the iron-fisted rule of Jewish supremacy. On Monday March 2, Secretary of State Marco Rubio laid to rest any lingering doubts people may have had about who's actually calling the shots in Washington DC when he told reporters that America attacked Iran on the eve of the Jewish revenge holiday Purim because "we knew there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces, and we knew that if we didn't preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties."

In other words, America's fatal attraction to the Zionist state has once again endangered US servicemen stationed in the Middle East and entangled our country in another war for which no national interest is served. In many ways, it feels like 2003 all over again, and the speed with which MAGA has pivoted from its "no new wars" posture to supporting regime change in Iran has been staggering, but sadly unsurprising.

When Trump rode the wave of popular support back into the White House in January 2025, he immediately set about performing every trick demanded of him by Miriam Adelson and his other Jewish mega-donors.

In early 2025, Trump's Department of Education opened investigations into 60 universities for "anti-Semitic discrimination and harassment," freezing over $2.2 billion in research grants for Harvard while cancelling $400 million in federal grants and contracts to Columbia "due to the school's continued inaction to protect Jewish students from discrimination." (Significant funds were also frozen at Cornell, Northwestern, Brown, and Princeton.) Trump then deployed his DOJ attack dogs to go after pro-Palestine activists on college campuses, including graduate students Mahmoud Khalil and Rumeysa Ozturk. Some of the underhanded tactics employed by Trump's goon squad were revealed in a January 23, 2026 article by investigative magazine Mother Jones:

"Documents unsealed by a federal judge this week confirm the federal government's attempt to target, arrest, and deport students for pro-Palestine speech on college campuses last year. The court records also make clear the methods of investigation. The government looked to unverified accounts shared on social media and utilized Canary Mission -- a shadowy online blacklist created by anonymous authors to smear pro-Palestine activists -- to gather evidence against student protestors.

The documents were unsealed only after sustained pressure from journalists and press-freedom groups... In unsealing the documents, US District Judge William G. Young sharply rebuked the Trump administration and called the government's actions against pro-Palestinian speech an unconstitutional attempt to twist laws to intimidate students."

These moves make sense from a tactical standpoint if the objective from the outset was war with Iran and the administration was preemptively doing all it could to ensure organized opposition would be virtually impossible. In hindsight, I think few would argue that that's exactly how it appears. In early October 2024, I wrote an article titled 'Catholic Crusaders for the Jewish Imperium' in which I laid down a few predictions based upon the direction the political winds were blowing at the time:

It’s difficult to examine the events of the past year and not draw the conclusion that Israel allowed the 10/7 attack to happen as an excuse to justify its genocide and ethnic cleansing of the region pursuant to its Greater Israel project. The next step in the process is to force American troops into the Middle East to militarily engage with Iran, Hezbollah and other enemies of Zion in a war that will utterly destroy our nation. Donald Trump appears to be the candidate who best represents the possibility for making this Jewish fever dream a reality. He’s already promised that if elected he’ll ‘Make Israel Great Again’ and his unhinged rhetoric now includes support for bombing Iran’s nuclear facilities and deporting ‘Jew haters’ from the country, even while stapling green cards to diplomas. Such declarations are a sharp 180 from his previous pose as an anti-war candidate and free speech absolutist, but I suppose Adelson largesse has a way of compromising corrupt individuals.

By now the ‘MAGA revolution’ has been neatly assimilated into the neoconservative GOP and the Jews will exert as much control over Trump as they do over Biden, if not more. How could it be otherwise when the two people tasked with staffing his administration are Howard Lutnick and Jared Kushner? Add into the mix Trump’s newfound cadre of affluent, left-wing Israel-first supporters like Shabbos Kestenbaum, Jacob Helberg and Bill Ackman -- as well as the former Hillary Clinton donor David Sachs -- and it’s plain to see that Trump is now the anointed one, chosen to usher in the next phase of the Jewish imperium; i.e., war with Iran. Just days after Trump was supposedly nicked in the ear by an assassin’s bullet while delivering a speech in Butler, Pennsylvania, Rabbi Isser Zalman Weisberg, a Chabad Lubavitcher who writes and lectures extensively on Biblical prophecies, took to the Internet to proclaim his belief that Trump is Israel’s non-Jewish Messiah, sent by God himself to clear the land of gentiles and rebuild the Jews’ holy temple:

"Like the first non-Jewish messiah, Cyrus, who was chosen to assist the Jews in reestablishing themselves in the land of Israel, after the 70-year exile in Babylon, the current non-Jewish messiah was chosen to be of service to the Jewish people and the Jewish messiah. President Trump’s right ear was grazed in a symbolic gesture of Exodus 21:6, where the Torah states that a servant who wants to remain with his master needs to have his right ear pierced. Trump was designated as God’s servant and anointed one, just like Cyrus the Great almost 2,400 years ago. We have clarified in several videos that the absolute deadline for the redemption is by the end of the Jewish year 5,787, which corresponds to October 2, 2027. Thus, the redemption will surely occur during Donald Trump’s tenure. And I have good reason to believe Donald Trump was chosen to be the one to redeem the sins of Azof through offering his assistance in rebuilding the holy temple on the Temple Mount and establishing the Jewish kingdom over all of mankind in Jerusalem. Perhaps it is no accident that the numeric value of Donald Trump in Hebrew is the same as Messiah Son of David: 424"

Credulous Americans have difficulty understanding that our kingmakers are neither left-wing nor right-wing but Jews, who have but one guiding principle: "is it good for the Jews?" After October 7 it became clear that Donald Trump and his Zionist circle of power was going to be the most effective vehicle through which to stimulate a chauvinistic war climate in America, in the same way that George W. Bush and his cadre of Neocons were crowned the party of choice in 2000 in anticipation of 9/11 and the subsequent invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.

During an appearance on Afshin Rattansi's Going Underground podcast, Col. Lawrence Wilkerson claimed that he "watched Mossad take over the Pentagon in 2002." Wilkerson, who served as chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell from 2002 - 2005, went on to say: "The Pentagon was infiltrated by Mossad, they did not need any identification to get through the river entrance of the building. They went upstairs to Douglas Feith, the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, the third most powerful man in the Defense Department. Occasionally, they went to the second most powerful man, Paul Wolfowitz, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, and they had run of the Pentagon. Donald Rumsfeld, the Secretary of Defense, said to my boss one time, "Hell, I don't run my building, Mossad does!"

A quarter of a century later and the political realities in Washington DC remain the same.

Israeli Intrigue in Venezuela?

"The question is: who's really in charge? I know President Trump appears to be. I'm not convinced that's the case because remember... you had this giant Israeli flag suddenly appear in the middle of the Republican convention. And certainly in my lifetime... I don't know of a single instance where either the Democratic or Republican parties held a convention and hoisted a giant foreign flag... I've never heard of that before." -- Col. Douglas Macgregor during an appearance on the Judging Freedom podcast with Judge Andrew Napolitano (Jan. 3, 2026)

Just four days after Benjamin Netanyahu appeared as a guest on Newsmax's The Record with Greta van Sustern and informed the insufferable newscaster that Iran is "exporting terrorism... to Venezuela. They're in cahoots with the Maduro regime... this has got to change," it was announced that U.S. military forces had carried out a large scale operation against Venezuela, capturing President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, who will both "face the full wrath of American justice" after being indicted on drugs and weapons charges in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

The capture of Maduro occurred exactly 36 years to the day after US Delta Forces captured Panamanian President/CIA informant Manuel Noriega, and it's unlikely that Netanyahu's recent visit to the U.S.-- the fifth in 2025 by the international fugitive -- and the American operation are unrelated. While talk of 'stolen oil' and 'narco-terrorism' currently dominates the mainstream discourse, the fact that Israel has been seeking regime change in Venezuela since the days of Hugo Chavez has gone virtually unreported. 

Prior to Maduro's predecessor Chavez winning Venezuela's 1998 presidential election, relations between the naturally wealthy South American country and Israel had been relatively good. Venezuela voted in favor of the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine in 1947 -- which allocated 55% of historic Palestine to the as-yet-unfounded Jewish state -- and two years later voted in favor of Israeli membership to the UN. By the mid 1960s, Venezuela boasted a robust Jewish population equipped with an impressive communal structure of schools, synagogues and cultural centers organized by middle-to-upper-class members of the community. In 1967, Jewish ethnic solidarity inspired a large number of Venezuelan Jews to travel to Israel to fight alongside their co-religionists in the Six-Day War. Following the conflict, a large influx of Sephardic Jews from Morocco arrived and settled in Caracas contributing to the largest Jewish population in Venezuela's history, numbering 30,000 at its peak, evenly split between Sephardim and Askenazim.

By the mid-2000s, however, relations between Venezuela and the Synagogue began to fray.

The first notable rift occurred in late 2004 following the assassination of Venezuelan state prosecutor Danilo Anderson, who was killed by a car bomb at age 38. [1]

At the time of his death Anderson had been investigating more than 400 people suspected of involvement in the Llaguno Overpass shootout and the failed 2002 coup d'état, during which Chavez was ousted from office for two days before being restored to power by popular support and a number of loyal military men. (Accusations of Jewish involvement in the coup were made at the time by pro-government newspaper Diario VEA, and later by Venezuela's ambassador to Russia, Alexis Navarro.) 

Suspicions of a possible Mossad dimension to the assassination plot were already high when Venezuelan authorities received a tip suggesting that weapons and explosives connected to the murder may have been transferred from the Club Magnum shooting range to the Colegio Hebraica Jewish school in Caracas, prompting Chavez to authorize his investigative police force DISIP to conduct an armed raid on the school on the morning of November 29, 2004. Chavez's investigators intercepted busloads of kids and evacuated 1,500 students from the building while searching for any materials related to Anderson's assassination. Ultimately nothing of value was found and the incident was loudly condemned by local and international Jewish organizations like the Simon Wiesenthal Center, who referred to it in typically melodramatic fashion as a "pogrom."

Throughout the next two years Chavez's rhetoric concerning Jewish power and influence became considerably more pointed, especially following Israel's invasion of Lebanon in 2006. It was during this time that Chavez recalled his country's ambassador to Israel and threatened to sever diplomatic ties with the Jewish state in protest of its military operation, describing it as a "new Holocaust" and "similar or, perhaps worse... than what the Nazis did." Chavez further inflamed the sensibilities of Jews at home and abroad by traveling to Tehran and affirming that Venezuela would "stand by Iran at any time and under any condition." [2]

In January 2009, Chavez finally made good on his threat when Venezuela severed all diplomatic ties with the Jewish state due to its conduct in the 2009 Gaza War which left 1,400 Palestinians dead and over 5,000 wounded. Once again referring to the violence as a "Holocaust" and a "flagrant violation of International Law," Chavez expelled Israel's ambassador to Venezuela and called for Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to be tried for war crimes in the International Criminal Court. Shortly thereafter, foreign minister Nicolas Maduro met in Caracas with representatives from the Palestinian National Authority and Venezuela officially recognized the existence of a Palestinian State on April 27, 2009. 

By this time Chavez was facing tremendous pressure from the international Jewish cabal and it was clear he had a target on his back. During a nationally broadcast speech in June 2010, Chavez condemned Israel as a "terrorist and murderous state," and affirmed that "Israel is financing the Venezuelan opposition. There are even groups of Israeli terrorists, of the Mossad, who are after me trying to kill me." Hugo Chavez died on March 5, 2013 at the age of 58 after a two year battle with cancer. He was succeeded as President of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela by Nicolas Maduro who blamed his predecessor's death on "a US plot." [3]

"Narco-Terrorism"

For months the Trump administration has been trying to claim that Maduro is responsible for trafficking boatloads of drugs into the United States; using the unfounded claim to justify deadly strikes on more than 30 small vessels in the Caribbean and what Trump referred to as "the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs." Initially 'The Donald' tried claiming the boats were carrying fentanyl and that each extra-judicial U.S. strike would save 25,000 American lives. However, this outlandish conspiracy theory was hampered by the fact that no evidence exists showing that any significant level of fentanyl is produced in South America, as confirmed by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).

With the fentanyl narrative sinking faster than Maduro's purported drug boats, the Trump administration pivoted seamlessly to talk of purloined oil and cocaine trafficking. While it's true Venezuela plays a role in the international cocaine trade, the US doesn't appear to be a significant destination as no direct trade route via sea is known to exist between the countries. In reality, far more cocaine and fentanyl enters America through Mexico and yet, curiously, socialist president Claudia Sheinbaum's "narco-government" has thus far failed to register a blip anywhere near as noteworthy as Venezuela's on Uncle Sam's regime change radar.

Another overt contradiction in Trump's 'war on drugs' narrative is the federal pardon he granted ex-president of Honduras Juan Orlando Hernandez, who had just recently begun serving a 45-year sentence after being convicted in a New York federal court for drug trafficking and firearms offenses and for receiving millions of dollars in bribes from drug cartels, including a $1 million bribe from Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. Despite having trafficked an estimated 400 tons of cocaine into the United States over a period of 18 years, Hernandez walked out of prison a free man on December 1, 2025, just days before the Honduran general election in which Trump endorsed Nasry Asfura, the candidate from Hernandez's Honduran National Party, who himself was indicted by authorities in 2020 on charges of money laundering, embezzling public funds, fraud, and abuse of authority.

Trump's support for Juan Orlando Hernandez and Nasry Asfura shouldn't raise any eyebrows coming as it does from the man who pardoned Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard's handler and is currently engaged in running interference for an international child sex trafficking ring. Indeed, Trump's entire life has been spent swimming in the same swamp he promised to drain and now he's being used as a tool for regime change in Venezuela and soon Iran. Disgraced attorney Alan Dershowitz, who staunchly defended Pollard in his 1991 book Chutzpah, recently told the media that "If President Trump wants to be known as the peace president, he has to be in support of regime change." 

I'm familiar with the arguments put forth by starry-eyed MAGA optimists suggesting there's some America First motivation informing Trump's decision-making. However, it seems more likely there's a deeper play involving Israel that's the driving force behind the conflict. This was hinted at when Fox News published an article claiming Maduro's Venezuela has become "Hezbollah's most important base of operations in the Western Hemisphere, strengthened by Iran's growing footprint and the Maduro regime's protection" and again when ultra-Zionist Ambassador Mike Huckabee informed the world that the US overthrow of Maduro was good news for Israel because of his country's partnership with Iran and Hezbollah. Perhaps this explains why Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez believes the operation was imbued with a 'Zionist tint'? When viewed in its entirety it's hard to disagree. Capturing Venezuela's vast oil reserves might even portend an immediate escalation in the Middle East by diminishing Iran's primary geopolitical leverage, e.g., blocking the Strait of Hormuz, and I expect to see an escalation on that front in the coming weeks and months. 

Whatever the case may be, you can rest assured knowing that the Trump administration is not waging a war on "narco-terrorism," a completely meaningless propaganda term designed chiefly to promote regime change in Latin America. The illegal narcotics destroying the bodies and minds of Americans young and old are undoubtedly entering the country under CIA and Mossad auspices, just as they were in the 1980s during Iran-Contra when Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton -- a "terrific guy" according to Trump -- permitted the use of his Mena airstrip for the transport of an extraordinary amount of cocaine into the United States. A highly-placed conspirator within the Iran-Contra nexus was Jewish neoconservative Elliott Abrams (Trump's US Special Representative for Venezuela from 2019 - 2021), who recently advocated for regime change in Venezuela for the purpose of -- among other things -- reducing drug trafficking! Abrams, who crafted the 1998 PNAC letter demanding the removal of Saddam Hussein, was convicted in 1991 on two misdemeanor counts for his role in the Iran-Contra affair after entering into a plea agreement to avoid felony charges of perjury. 

Evidentially, international gun/drug running isn't much of a concern for Trump, so long as the perpetrators play for the right team. But hey, MAGA, be of good cheer, your white knight's attack on Venezuela isn't without its supporters...

According to the World Conference Against Anti-Semitism, Chavez's pro-government media published "an average of 45 [anti-Semitic] pieces per month" in 2008 and "more than five per day" during the January 2009 Operation Cast Lead in Gaza. In early 2013 dozens of documents were leaked to the press showing that SEBIN, Venezuela's premier intelligence agency, had been collecting "private information on prominent Venezuelan Jews, local Jewish organizations and Israeli diplomats in Latin America."
