Here are my initial thoughts on the events of the past week:

1. Truth Is Always Preferable To Illusions – As much as I hate being proven wrong, I would rather know the truth than continue to drift in illusions. Just a few weeks ago, I wrote and delivered a speech in South Carolina that was a defense and endorsement of Trump’s second term. Needless to say, I am seething over having made a fool of myself and feel like I have been rug pulled.

If Donald Trump is dragged into a war by Netanyahu and we end up fighting a war with Iran for Israel on the basis of garbage intelligence from the Mossad, then it will be fair to conclude that America First means Israel First in practice and that Netanyahu is who is really in charge. It will mean that Miriam Adelson bought our foreign policy. It will mean that we have learned nothing from the endless wars that Trump spent a decade slamming and vowing on the campaign trail would never happen again.

I’m grateful there is no ambiguity about this. Israel started the war with a Pearl Harbor-style attack on Iran in which Iranian diplomats were killed in their beds. Israel did this to scuttle the peace talks. It operates like a Gangster State. Israel is trying to force Trump to endorse its actions and join the war it started. The whole question of Iran’s nuclear weapons program is besides the point. The real question is whether Trump is so weak that he will throw away his agenda and legacy to go along with Netanyahu’s war.

Is Trump the driver or the passenger in his own presidency? Are the rest of us who thought that Trump was the president on the Netanyahu Train to Tehran?

Before this happened, I thought Trump was in the driver’s seat for a number of reasons. He had Elon Musk’s vast fortune on his side. He had X and independent media to get his message out. He had crushed Ron DeSantis in the primary who was backed by Rupert Murdoch. He had ran and won a decisive victory on staying out of foreign wars. He was hemmed in by a decade of his own rhetoric. He has spent months styling himself as a peacemaker and recently condemned regime change wars in Saudi Arabia. Young voters who were furious with Joe Biden over Gaza handed Trump the presidency. He won Michigan because Arabs voters there were so sick of Democrats that they switched sides.

I try to focus on the positive. If we go to war with Iran for the sake of Israel, it will at least end all the infighting over the issue. It will end the debate over whether Trump is controlled by Israel. There will be a consensus that Trump lives in the White House and sits in the Oval Office, but power resides in Israel.

2. No Blackpilling – Unlike in Trump’s first term, I am not going to “blackpill” if he destroys his presidency to jump into a dumb regime change war for Israel in Iran. Instead, we will just use it as an opportunity to mainstream the Jewish Question, as we have already done with other subjects. I think this could end up being his final gift to us. Half of Zoomers already disliked Israel before this happened.

George W. Bush’s failures in Iraq and Afghanistan created the foundation of this movement. Joe Biden’s failures on immigration enforcement changed the politics of immigration. Similarly, Trump leading America into a war with Iran for Israel – a war which no one under the age of 45 wants – will provoke an enormous bipartisan backlash against Israeli-controlled assets like Ted Cruz.

3. Total Disaster – The politics of this are a total disaster which has taken the spotlight off the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles. Instead of passing Trump’s immigration agenda, Senate Republicans are going on FOX News fear mongering about Iran setting off a nuke in New York City. They are taking us back in time 22 years to the George W. Bush era. They haven’t learned a damn thing about how we got Obama. Democrats were knocked out, listless and flat on their back. Now all they have to do to return to power is pivot and oppose this stupid war which they are already doing.

4. Trump Isn’t Running Again – We voted for Donald Trump for the last time in the 2024 election. Trump will never be on the ballot again. The GOP Congress will stand or fall in the midterms on the basis of its own image because Trump won’t be there anymore to carry them anymore with his base. Sen. Katie Britt is on X saying she is trying to save Western civilization from being nuked by Iran. It is pointless to argue over supporting or opposing Trump because the Trump era will be over soon.

5. Salvage Operation – I’m still hopeful that we can salvage some wins on other issues under the Bibi Netanyahu presidency. The trans rights case, for example, went the way that I expected at the Supreme Court. The border is still relatively quiet. Maybe tariffs will spur some reindustrialization. Nothing that is happening in Iran will negate the progress we are making on other issues. A war with Iran though will take the focus off domestic issues and will swallow the national conversation.

6. Refocus on the future – If Trump pulls the trigger and is dragged into a war with Iran for Israel, then I will no longer support him because I know I am unable to get past that. He doesn’t need my support. He isn’t running again. In a year and a half, he would have been a lame duck anyway.

I’m not going to sperg out like I did over Syria in 2017. I’m not going to bash everything he does to drive a narrative. I will just refocus on other things that interest me and pay less attention to news and politics. I still think we should remain engaged in politics. Millions of people will be disillusioned and redpilled by this debacle. There are still things we can do at the state and local level. We should also try to get more people who aren’t puppets of AIPAC like Ted Cruz elected to Congress. There will be a demand for it.

Right now, this is what I am thinking and where I am leaning toward going. If American bombs start falling on Tehran, it will bring more clarity. As for now, I am stuck in political limbo without the information that I need to decide what I want to do for the rest of Trump’s presidency.

Note: Elon Musk has speculated that Trump is in the Epstein Files and is being blackmailed by the Mossad. Maybe there is more to that than I thought. I don’t know. I thought he hated Netanyahu and had too big of an ego to throw away his presidency to bail out Bibi.

  1. I think Musk basically spilled the beans, which is why Trump got so furious at him. It’s also likely a big reason the FBI, et alia continue to cover-up the Epstein files. Obviously, the real owner and string-puller here isn’t even Satanyahoo, but those who pull his strings. Some of them might be human, but one or more are in the spiritual realm. Another possible factor is that Mossad was hacked and the Mullahs have the Epstein files, which they’ll promptly share with others so that nothing will be lost. Maybe they can send a copy to Rocket Man in Pongyang. He at least had the sense to build some deliverable nukes so he’ll be left alone by the ever-helpful clowns serving the Imperium. They should just publish them all. There’s nobody innocent involved here – and the recent Arkancide of one of Epstein’s victims shows that nothing has really changed since Trump took office. Patel and Bondi are just more clowns in the ongoing circus.

  2. Ivanka’s father-in-law Charles Kushner has a history of using sexual blackmail to control people. When he was being investigated for tax evasion and illegal campaign contributions, he hired a prostitute to lure a witness to a hotel room and then film him for blackmail.

  3. Israel has always controlled the USA…..is not a news. I hope, as you said, that the achievements of Trump presidency on wokeism remain. I agree with you that we must continue to talk about politic and be interested by it (though not totally) because otherwise we will leave the politic to the left and that is dangerous.

    • As I said, I had convinced myself that Trump wasn’t controlled by these people anymore because 1.) he didn’t need FOX News to crush DeSantis and 2.) because he had Elon’s money and support from other tech right donors. He had also won his last race, fought his way back to power, overcome lawfare and assassination attempts. He doesn’t even like Netanyahu.

  4. Niall Ferguson wrote a two-volume history of the Rothschild family, titled The House of Rothschild. In it he quotes the founding Rothschild, Mayer Amschel, “In any relationship between a jew and a Gentile the jew owns the Gentile.”
    So it is with Trump. In reading biographies of Trump, such as Never Enough, it’s clear Trump is owned by jews. This has always been a hard one to accept, but it is so.
    The only realisitic cope isn’t that Trump is not defying all jewry, but that he represents one faction (just as there are warring factions of Italian mafia or Latino cartels) while defying another. His deal was that the US would be allowed to reverse its decay so as to remain a strong straight White Gentile male host and sentry to jewry. That’s to say, Trump would be allowed to save the White American dog to save the jew fleas feeding on it. But to do that he must support Israel against its brown enemies. If his jew overlords are to go against their jew kin in allowing a strong White nation to persist, it must serve Israel. There will be half-black babies and trans teenagers in Tehran before we know it. And one of the jews at the AEI (PNAC) that birthed the Iraq War just wrote a piece that Israel and the US should bomb Turkey next. Nobody is stopping them.

  5. I believe no politician not controlled by the Jews is allowed to advance.They merely allow one or the other Jew controlled party to win and the issues of decent Whites are never addressed and things get progressively worse.Trump doesn’t need to be blackmailed as he knows the Jews run everything and he opted in to their system.We are in the very End Times as race-mixing and perversion rule completely.I would love to be surprised by an awakening of Whites but my fellow Southerners have for the most part become quite comfortable with their Jewish/Satanic value system.For decades on a personal level I voiced great disdain for these things and from 99.9 percent of Whites they didn’t give a damn.And more than a few supported their own displacement and destruction.My loyalty is to the many generations of proud White forebears who defended our race.These last few generations I shall call the End Times rabble can rot.And of course those who are still pro-White are excepted but we are indeed the rare and wise we cling to what is good and pure and reject Satans Jewish bargain.

    • Southerners tend to almost worship the Jews. They think they are these magical beings that are chosen by god to rule over them. A bizarre mindset. This sentiment is not very prevalent outside of the south. Urban centers tend to be more atheist or people are on more of spiritual tract, not of worship.

  6. Its far too early for this.

    I own the consequences of my vote regardless of what happens. There is no obligation to virtue signal either way.

    All the folks in MAGA that matter have spoken loud and clear that this isn’t what we need, and Bannon laid it all out personally with the President. He knows the stakes and has all the information to know this is a deliberate bear trap for him. This was never about Iran, it was about him, and derailing his administration.

    The divide between MAGA and the Zionist foreign lobby is undeniable now, and they are running out of political oxygen as their religious zealot boomer evangelical base ages out of relevance.

  8. Still pretending America is not currently in this war. There probably is no hope for you. You have no interest in the truth.

  9. What the Israelis have done can only end with US troops invading Iran. It’s not complicated. The Israelis bombed the hell out of Saddam back in the 1980s. Just give it time.

  10. This is playing out almost exactly like 2017. I think it was May 2017 when you realized Candidate Trump and President Trump were two different people. At least this time he managed to fool you an extra month or so. I know you have a deep interest in politics and you can’t help but allow yourself to get sucked into the matrix, but I hope you’ll start to see this Kayfabe BS for what it really is. It’s political theatre and has been for at least our lifetimes. The years to come will require our attention and energy to be focused on what truly matters. You’re a good guy and I wish you nothing but the best. God bless you and your growing family.

    • No, I sperged out in April 2017 after Trump blew up that airfield in Syria.

      I was CptBlackpill on Twitter for years after that. Just go back and read the archives from April 2017 until around January 2021. I’ve got far too many things going on in my life these days to be “blackpilled” over politics. If Trump attacks Iran, I am not going to support him anymore because in my view it will prove he is controlled by Israel, but it isn’t going to color everything I say and do here.

      It will actually be a relief not to be so sucked into the news cycle. I will spend less time on social media, less time following the news, more time on other interests.

  11. There’s no reason to believe Trump is being blackmailed by Mossad because:

    1) EVERY modern president is staunchly pro-Israel and has taken action in the Middle East on Behalf of Israel

    2) With the level of hatred of Trump in this country, I sincerely doubt that sort of thing would not gotten out at some point already.

    3) He took Adelson’s money in both terms and he was his biggest donor in term #1 and Adelson’s wife was his 2nd biggest donor in term #2

  12. It operates like a Gangster State.

    Don’t make them look cool.

    The best outcome will be if America performs poorly in the war. Then the blame will go on Boomers and Israel.

  13. I predict that while Democrats will come out as anti-war, they won’t come out as anti-Israel. They’ll try to police the anti-war movement to not be anti-Israel. The goal should be to make the base anti-Israel and make establishment Democrats afraid.

  14. Just as another commenter recently said, this isn’t a black and white issue. There is a lot of gray. The pro Trump people in our circles can be both right and wrong about things but so are the Negative Nancy people. The Negative Nancy people are wrong for never seeing good in anything, never recognizing anything good Trump does as it comes, claiming the Jews are behind every last problem, worshipping an outdated German system of government that has little to do with our country’s history, failing to recognize that most white Americans have heritage from the British Isles and not Germany, pouncing on Southerners for “ worshipping Jews” when whites elsewhere in America are less conservative etc…etc…. We can back pedal a little when we see Trump doing something wrong but that doesn’t mean our side was ever entirely wrong or that the other side was entirely right.
