Rufo and Lomez: Israel, Tucker, and the Future of Conservatism

I didn’t want to have to focus on Israel and the Jewish Question.

Over the past few years, I was hopeful that the problem would sort itself out through the passage of time. BoomerCons would cycle out of the electorate over the next ten years. Younger Republicans already have a much harsher view of Israel. The rest of the country – Democrats and Independents – have already soured even harder on Israel than Republicans. The country was trending against Israel.

I told myself an optimistic story of Trump’s second term that went something like this. Elon Musk and Tech Bros would replace the Jewish donor class whose wealth was based on old industries like gambling. If this didn’t happen overnight, then Jewish influence ought to be significantly reduced over Trump’s first term when American voters and donors were far more pro-Israel. Cable television was in terminal decline and was being replaced by what is now called “Podcastistan” which is far more critical of Israel.

Trump would be an annoying pro-Israel president. He might launch some strikes like the Soleimani assassination or the Syria strike in 2017, but in his first term he had hesitated and hadn’t yielded to the pressure to go to war with Iran for Israel. Trump might do things like harass student groups on college campuses which, however annoying, was tolerable and didn’t outweigh other issues in importance like spending billions of dollars to do “mass deportations.” He had also ran on “no new wars.” He ran as the Peace candidate. For Trump to reverse course and go in the opposite direction, he would have to be willing to be impaled by his own campaign rhetoric. It would be the biggest betrayal in American politics since “read my lips, no new taxes.” There was no upside to going to war with Iran for Israel. This was true even for MIGA since doing so would only aggravate and accelerate the trend against Israel.

Ziopopulists like Yoram Hazony have forced the issue. Trump’s second term has played out like a rocket trying to achieve orbit. The payload was the war with Iran for Israel that donors wanted and which was kept as a closely guarded secret until it was sprung on voters. The booster rocket was all the various grievances – anti-White discrimination, demographic change, immigration, transgenderism, Wokeism – that Ziopopulists tapped and exploited to get Trump back into power so that he could do this. The donors got their way. Trump launched the war and the plan has exploded in their faces like the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. Trump has destroyed his coalition and sunk to 35% in polls.

Is this what we want? Do we want to be seen and treated as a resource that can be exploited by Zionists to get their people into positions of power to carry out their secret schemes? Are we going to learn anything from this and the political fallout of Trump’s war with Iran for Israel?

    You posted something a few years ago on Lindsey Graham’s re-election campaign with him boasting in his own words about how Jewish his campaign was and where all the money had come from. Is this something you can locate and re-post ? I didn’t think to bookmark it at the time.

  2. I voted for Pat Buchanan. I voted for Ron Paul.

    Then I got betrayed by Trump, who promised No Wars, but still launched one against Iran.

    Enough. The Republican Party is unreformable. The only future for conservatism is a kosher conservatism.

    Now I am following the likes of Scott McConnell & Nick Fuentes and backing the Democrats. At least they are very mildly pushing back against Israel. Plus the Dem Base is very anti-Israel. Sign me up.

    Going into the July 4th weekend I am enjoying my new found status as a Union Democrat and looking forward to grilling and chilling whilst Bruce Springsteen plays in the background!

  3. National Conservatism was, of course, just another gatekeeping fraud from The Usual Suspects; gotta keep the cattle on the reservation supporting Our Greatest Ally. It’s ironic that The Usual Suspects’ other destructive schemes, flooding White countries with the Third World and so-called “Civil Rights” have probably been the biggest factors in ending Yoram’s “consensus” in foreign policy. The Third World types look at The Usual Suspects as just more hated White people only wealthier, more noxious and therefore, naturally oppose them. Their pets have bitten them in the ass.

    So far Trump’s war in the Near East has cost money (lots of it) and unknown numbers of casualties drawn only from military volunteers (so far). This is not sustainable. The Trump administration will have to choose:

    A.) Using nuclear weapons to destroy Iran thus ending the conflict on U.S. terms similar to WWII in Aug. 1945. This extreme measure would be a war crime, highly unlikely, morally indefensible and full of unknown consequences. It’s doubtful Trump would consider such extreme measures. Perhaps Our Greatest Ally will go down this road then blame their war crime on the U.S.

    B.) Making some reasonable accommodation to Iran’s interests then declaring victory again and going home. It’s Iran’s neighborhood after all and thousands of miles from the U.S. This is the least bad of all the bad choices available, there are no good choices. Trump will not choose this policy, Yoram and his pals wouldn’t like it.

    C.) Continuing with the same failed, pointless, unpopular policy Trump has been pursuing: threats, bluster, minor attacks, untrustworthy promises. Our Greatest Ally is in the driver’s seat here though, a bushel basket of money in one hand, the Epstein dossier in the other for the loathsome scumbags in Congress, the Lügenpresse and the rest of the ruling class to choose from. This is the most likely choice Trump will make, trying to muddle through, hoping for a miracle. This choice is not sustainable over any length of time for a variety of reasons however.

  4. I’ve finally managed to gather five or more moving boxes full of (mostly electronic) music that I downloaded from the internet for years in the 2010s like a manic addict (through German platforms like Rapidshare or Megaupload, not to mention Karlheinz Brandenburg’s invention, the “MP3”).

    Some CDs/DVDs got broken. Which is annoying, because I don’t know what was on them. Now I have to check each disc individually to see if there’s anything on it that might interest my American audience. After that, I have to check if the tracks are available on Judentube or upload them myself.

    It is clearly stated here that this is not just a bunch of junk, but rather artists who were generally born between 1945 and about 1953—that’s the rule, though there were exceptions (Vangelis was born in 1943, but his work is widely available). I quickly sensed the inventiveness of this generation.

    Film operates on a different generational level. I realized that the generation of brilliant musicians in the electronic music scene is not the same as the one in film world. There, too, are plenty of surprises in store, though it’s hard to say to what extent something like that can be translated into English.

  5. Our world is still (far too) “Eurocentric”; it’s high ti-
    me to turn it completely upside down. It would only
    cost a few billion to reprint all the books and maps.

    But is time itself racist? As we know, it is becau-
    se no one can escape our linear Protestant capita-
    lism! Especially not when it’s controlled by Jews!

    People with strong connection to Saturn (like me
    and Kevin MacDonald) have strong presence in
    here & now. They are more aware of transience.

  6. Trump has 42% approval today in real polls. He is having a very bad week. Not that he cares. The voting machines decide who wins, and Dominion is now owned by Republicans

  7. Trump comes from private capital, which differs from public corporations, but he is a total traitor and was suspect even when running in 2016. He rejects the language of the professional managerial class for an entrepreneur, but sells out. Crucially, he lacks the trait of hardened dissidents like Lenin and Hitler, where they did jail time and fought through social ostracization and treated success with women as a distraction from politics (Trump, in contrasts, is a Womanizer). He was never a change agent and I warned your populist right community but nobody listened if they even heard.
    I still align with the class based left and reject the liberal PMC left.
