The Fall of the House of MAGA, by Wyatt Peterson - The Unz Review

 At this point, even an apolitical dimwit can perceive the primary principle motivating the Trump administration: “Is it good for Israel?” Whether this entails bombing Iran, aiding and abetting a genocide, obliterating free speech on college campuses or shielding an Israeli official charged with child sex crimes in Nevada, rest assured no job is too sordid for Trump, Vance & Co. when Israel’s interests are hanging in the balance.

Republican Congressman Thomas Massie is one of only a handful of US representatives whose positions can — to a large degree — be said to align with the tenets of America First. Over the course of his 13-year congressional career Massie has made some powerful enemies, mostly due to his outspoken opposition to foreign aid and his consistent voting record against pro-Israel legislation. Despite his defense of American sovereignty — or actually because of it — Massie has frequently been the target of organized campaigns designed to oust him from office in favor of someone more congenial to the Elders of Zion.....

.....Never Trumpers Capture MAGA

Trump’s MAGA movement was supposed to represent a return to WWII era nativism; a shift away from the insipid conservatism of Bill Buckley to something more robust and national-minded. His 2016 presidential campaign was vehemently opposed by a cadre of ‘Never Trumpers’ which included Mark Levin, Josh Hammer and Ben Shapiro. In 2025, however, all three men have become prominent figures within MAGA and are using their influence to define the limits of acceptable discourse. In this sense, a direct line may be drawn connecting Marvin Liebman and Bill Buckley to Shapiro, Hammer and Levin, which stands to reason considering all three of the latter have deep ties to Young Americans for Liberty (YAF), a campus organization founded by Liebman and Buckley in 1960 for the purpose of corralling young, impressionable Americans into the Zionist playpen....

.....What should be obvious to most by now is that the GOP remains Israeli-occupied territory irrespective of who sits in the Oval Office. No national revival can spring forth from a movement so utterly corrupted by foreign money and foreign people that it attacks its own constituents for the Orwellian crime of ‘wrong-think.’ The Zionist lynch mob that has formed in the aftermath of Tucker’s interview with Fuentes showcases the Berserker tactics regularly used not only to shut down mainstream conversations critical of Jewish power, but to identify and attack individuals even mildly sympathetic to the message and/or messenger. The Republican double mind that proclaims freedom of speech while attacking Tucker Carlson is the same one that condemns Zohran Mandami while shaking hands with Ahmed al-Sharaa. As James 1:8 informs us, “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”

To my Fox News-consuming Boomer friends, verily I say unto thee: unless and until these contradictions are resolved, no political victory can be reached by aligning ourselves with MAGA or any other arm of the GOP, regardless of who runs in 2028.
