The grim and crushing realisation since 2019 that the majority of “democratic” governments the world over are in reality a communistic una-party has been compounded knife cut by knife cut, that 90% of the people I admired and listened to are either complicit, conformist or cowardly.
I now don’t take sides in the black and white sense of that phrase.
I am not against the Russian people or the Ukranian people. I am not against Palestinians or Jews or any other race. I am however vehemently against the politicians and criminals of whatever race or ethnicity who run or sustain all governments; with the exception of a very few individuals.
Our problems are mainly:
*A spiritual drought.
*Inability to prevent politicians sandbagging themselves against losing office. (Voter fraud)
* Inability to cauterise and expel corruption at all levels. (Kleptocracy)
* A sense of disassociated ennui in the general populace which prevents an effective fight back against the vindictive and avaricious fee who do hold the levers of power. (Lack of critical thought, academic lazyness, selfishness.)
Calling out this bullshit and not self censoring any more is how we turn it around. Individual populism without mob rule. Are we up to the task I wonder?
All true and accurate. At the same time, Iran and the Axis of Resistance, backed by Russia, China, and now North Korea, are not idle. They have been preparing for this moment for decades, when the Empire shatters on the rock of its own greed, lies, and hubris. Stay tuned.
Excellent synopsis. I'm not picking up what The Blob is laying down; I have long believed the 3-letter agencies et al are behind the plots against Trump & trying to frame our historical enemies. It's a crazy day when you find yourself feeling almost sorry for Iran.
This does not mean I am a shi'ite. It means the Ayatollah had a point, and that his redemption arc shows more about the claims of the Free World than the wider merits of his system.
That said, I do agree Iran has been extraordinarily restrained in the face of sustained Israeli outrages, and that it is a sign of the times that the so-called mad mullahs are the sane ones in this situation.
I think we should learn to accept difference, work towards balance, and that this can be done with a change of political strategy (from insanity towards the alternative).
It seems to be sinking in slowly with the people of the United States that the government is not the people's government, but it is the captive of various interests from the world around. Into the Oval Office the leaders and lobbyists and contractors come and go, talking of funding for good and worthy causes, many of which involve the elimination of many people whose only crime was to have been in the line of fire.
Such are the antics of men in power, who always seem to be able to conscript the powerless to do their bidding, even should it mean dying for them.
Untold riches are bestowed on the powerful in exchange for decimating the powerless, with the end and aim of disrupting power balances The global minuet of power goes on and on, enlivened by a pas de deux now and then to keep matters well oiled and, even better, well funded.
It may very well be that Donald J. Trump will be assassinated in the near future, thrice being the charm (excluding the memory-holed fumble of a recently buried account). Whether before or after the ceremonious, yet inconsequential, voting is anyone's guess. Surely the handlers of the once-liberal party do not want to be too obvious. Or do they?
Another alternative is the sudden, yet not entirely unexpected, permanent incapacity of the current titular president. This would permit Harris to assume the office of the presidency before the ceremonial voting day, or even a few days afterwards, just to keep up appearances. This would make her the incumbent, which would wash away some of the illegitimacy of her installation, which no one particularly cares about in any case. If Harris succeeds in capturing the voters with promises of joy, all will be well for her deep state allies and financiers. If not, a convenient catastrophe might occur that would prevent the transition of power. The true import of such events will not receive serious attention, what with a distracting catastrophe and all the effort that would be needed just to survive and to maintain some sort of social order.
Up until about 2016, I was aware that the U.S. was not always a virtuous nation, but, as no doubt did many others, I thought that lapses in virtue were periodic aberrations. Mistakes! Mistakes will happen.
That the scenarios above are even remotely possible indicate we are well beyond ‘mistakes’.
I think the system of beliefs promoted by this Belief System (B.S. for short) is breaking down. No switcheroo will stop this, and killing Trump will probably destroy it entirely. This would mean more chaos and death, but the system that people were trained to believe in is never coming back, because it was an illusion.
The real one is on display now, and it is not very popular. Hence the rival popular politics - which is called "populism" - a word meaning policies popular with people are bad. This too is corrupt, but less so, and less insane. It is not a solution in itself, more an indication of the initial realisation and rejection of the problem.
That’s the counter-argument. Could be, could be. “Let’s pretend it’s all normal” would not be implausible, whereas more fireworks might become tedious. Another assassination attempt? Ho-hum. Civil unrest? No big deal.
Outstanding, as was your recent Lifesite essay on Our Greatest Ally's genocide in Gaza.
I am seriously thinking about robbing a bank to become a founding member and help your wife purchase extremely expensive and functionally useless shoes. As I spend the weekend pondering the morality of this action, have you considered a "Buy me a coffee" tab on your substack?
Thank you for your praise as it is a lonely job at times and it is most encouraging.
A former Mossad agent reached out to me - via a PR agency - following my report on the Israeli aristrikes which destroyed a Catholic Church and killed 22 in a majority Christian town in northern Lebanon.
Count me in. From what I can tell from listening to rap "music", the fact that I can't sing well should not be an impediment to fame and fortune. I think that robbing a bank would greatly add to our legitimacy in the eyes of rap enthusiasts, so I am leaning toward felonious action.
Well, I hear people repeat often over the years that this group of people “the American democracy“ has lost all their wars, but they win either way they still pocket all the money laundering scheme, and the politicians win, win every time and a lot of people are killed it’s almost ritualistic?
Excellent and informative post. I learned a lot about Avril, that's for sure. I suspected there was some effort to shift the blame for Trump's assassination attempt to Iran, but this lays out all of the reasons why that would serve Israel's interests, and they're good ones.
Basically, they don't really know what Trump will do, probably because Trump himself doesn't know what he's going to do about Israel/Palestine, and even if he thinks he does he is more likely to listen to someone outside The Blob than Harris, who has always been an empty and willing vessel for them.
The survival of Israel is the prime excuse, justification for the forever war/rules based order fantasia which “the liberal elite depend on for their livelihood “. (That is your quote from a previous post - which I wrote down.) This explains why building a narrative that it is Iran that is trying to kill Trump is useful; should they (the deep state not Iran) actually kill the guy, us deplorables will happily support the destruction of Iran.
That was unclear to me, I was suspicious but flummoxed, but now, our goodly author has convinced me, and I think he is unquestionably right.
Now for my question : “turbo charge immigration from the Middle East”, why. That bit seems incongruous. A boatload of Muslims in the west will make it harder for the Israel lobby to win public opinion.
This is counter productive to the main narrative - Israel is the only modern moral democratic state in the region - if we don’t support them we are next. So, ipso facto, if the Iranians killed Trump, red America will join the neocon warmongering - let’s nuke’em will ring out all throughout flyover country.
Turbo charged Muslim immigration to the west makes no sense.
Sure, the broad-based generic attempt to demoralize us through mass immigration but why muslims? Better to hold them back as the other; Virtuous Jews oppressed by mad Muslims.
Now for my question : “turbo charge immigration from the Middle East”, why. That bit seems incongruous. A boatload of Muslims in the west will make it harder for the Israel lobby to win public opinion.
Immigration has been "turbo-charged" into the West. The regime change wars drove millions into Europe from Syria, Iraq, and from Africa through Libya. So that has been happening, and governments have done nothing to stop it - and everything to enable it. Criticism is suppressed etc., as is news of resulting crime.
What is the strategic effect? A permanent state of emergency in the West. If you happen to find this useful to your worldview, it is also helpful to bracket Israel's "Self defence" with UK and European terror and crime resulting from migration.
Mass migration is not an accident. It is enabled by state actions, at both ends of the pipeline. Why are they doing this? I do not think our leaders are acting in our best interests.
Woopsie, simple, makes sense, I missed that. Muslim immigration wreaks havoc in our cities, further proof of them being barbaric and that Israel is a bastion of democracy and reasonable adherents to the rules based order. Yup.
Also us red state types are inherently bigoted. We do hate them because they aren’t like us (naturally) and besides it is true they shouldn’t be in our country. The elite despise us with some justification.
The first Stack I visited regularly when I came here back in February, the author's productivity was amazing. I could hardly keep up with his posts. Commented on one of them that while James Brown may have been "the hardest working man in show business", he was the hardest working man on planet Substack. Frank Wright now holds that title. You have some kinda Shaolin mystery mojo goin' on Frank, that allows you do fine on 2 hours sleep a day or something?
Iran wants Trump dead ... sure, makes perfect sense, since he was the first president since maybe JFK who was openly against needless foreign wars. Sure. He had Suleimani whacked maybe to placate his best buddy Bibi Netanyahu, but otherwise no new war. And here the X link in this post has him saying essentially the same.
In any case the war lovers better hope the missiles and drones and anti-air systems will suffice, because the United States military is to no small degree made up of treasonous leftists and zionists, but also mucho bloated whale-people who cannot do 3 pullups and need regular hormone injections. "High-heels on the ground" will at least give real soldiers in Eurasia a good laugh.
I write a lot about this sort of thing for LifeSite. Yes, Israel’s intention is to “police the planet”, as it has stated, and yes it censors US “news” to do so.
I also reported on the Israeli intelligence takeover at Twitter, in addition to the 22 billion dollars in lost ad revenue organised by Greenblatt’s ADL. That was the price of free speech on Twitter, which was good while it lasted.
If the spooks kill Trump pre election they have the added bonus of throwing the US into such a turbulent social state that government will be able to pursue its international campaigns unmonitored. The populace will be busy chewing its own leg off with very little controlled propaganda being needed to start extreme civil upheaval. Not sure about how the election figures into it, I haven't solidified my opinion on Vance and how he would respond to being thrust into the presidency.
The amount of plot holes in this article would give Swiss cheese a run for its money. If anyone wants to assassinate Trump, it certainly isn't the Israeli government, especially since it was the Trump administration that cut off foreign aid to the Palestinian Authority:
(And keep in mind, this article is from February of 2023, eight months before 10/7, and talks about the supposedly moderate PLO rather than Hamas.):
"After Biden Sent $1B to PLO, Israeli Deaths Rose 900%
It cost $10,000 to kill a 6-year-old boy and the terrorists have the money.
February 15, 2023 by Daniel Greenfield
When Secretary of State Blinken met with PLO leader Mahmoud Abbas, he boasted of the over billion dollars in aid that the Biden administration had programmed for the terrorist territories.
That aid has come with a very heavy price.
In Feb 2019, President Trump’s total cutoff of aid became official. That year, 10 Israelis or people in Israeli controlled areas were killed in stabbings, shootings, rocket and other attacks, down from 12 the previous year, and 15 in 2017, and 16 in 2016.
In 2020 however only three Israelis were killed.
These numbers reflected the diminished capacity of the Islamic terrorists. The reduction in numbers was not due to the pandemic. 2020 still saw attacks, including firebombings, rocket launches and stabbings, but the success and lethality rates for these attacks were lower.
The numbers turned around dramatically once again in 2021.
In April 2021, the Biden administration restored aid to the PLO. Terror incidents, reflecting attack attempts, shot up sharply from 91 in February and 89 in March to 130 in April.
By May, major fighting resumed with 13 Israelis, including two children, killed.
By the time the year was over, 17 people in Israeli areas had been killed. The over 400% increase in deaths was only the beginning. In 2022, 31 Israelis or people in Israeli areas were killed, up from only 3 in 2020, for a massive 900% increase in casualties since the restoration of foreign aid to the terrorists. This was the worst death toll since 2015 under Obama.
But in January and the first half of February of 2023, 10 Israelis have already been killed, including a 6-year-old boy and an 8-year-old boy.
Three times as many have been killed in a month and a half of 2023 as in all of 2020. That’s a 233% increase over 2020 in just a fraction of a year, but it’s also a marked month-to-month escalation from 2022 which featured no attacks at all in January or February. More people have already been killed by terrorists in 2023 than through most of March in 2022.
What a difference a billion dollars makes.
While the media has tried to portray the terrorism as “lone wolf” attacks, they’re crowdsourced violence of the kind that Al Qaeda and ISIS helped innovate. But the PLO’s version is unique through its ‘Pay-to-Slay’ program which rewards terrorists, regardless of their formal affiliation, including ISIS and Hamas members, with salaries and payments for their families.
Terrorists are paid based on the length of their prison sentence. That means successful killers can earn $2,000 to $3,000 a month in a part of the world where the average salary is around $700 a month. It’s five times more profitable to be a terrorist than a teacher.
The Palestinian Authority calls for the murder of Jews, praises it and then rewards it.
Muhammad Al-Lahham of the Fatah Revolutionary Council, which runs the political movement behind the terrorists of the Palestinian Authority, was caught on video praising the “patriotic conscience” of a terrorist who had killed a rabbi taking his 2-year-old son for a walk in 2022.
The Trump administration cut off aid to the PLO’s Palestinian Authority and Congress passed the Taylor Force Act banning funds from going to finance Pay-to-Slay.
Throughout all this, PLO leadership have been consistent in refusing to stop financing terrorism.
“We will neither reduce nor prevent [payment] of allowances to the families of martyrs, prisoners and released prisoners, as some seek, and if we had only a single penny left, we would pay it to families of the martyrs and prisoners,” Abbas had bragged. By “martyrs”, he meant those Islamic terrorists who were killed while carrying out terrorist attacks.
Despite this, the Biden administration had restored aid and rebuilt diplomatic relations. Biden and Blinken have met with Abbas. And while they have attacked Israel over everything from letting Jews pray on the Temple Mount (due to Jewish prayers offending Muslim sensibilities) to democratic judicial reform that will limit the unilateral authority of pro-terrorist judges, Biden and Blinken have had nothing to say to the terrorists about the program funding the murder of Jews.
America First Legal, under Stephen Miller, filed suit against the Biden administration on behalf of the parents of Taylor Force: a non-Jewish Afghanistan war vet murdered in Jerusalem.
“The Biden Administration is well aware that the PA pays Palestinian terrorists to injure or kill innocent Americans and Israelis in Israel. Yet, in blatant violation of the Taylor Force Act, a federal law that prohibits the government from sending American taxpayer dollars to the PA until it stops supporting terrorism, President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken have resumed payments to the PA after the Trump Administration had stopped these payments in compliance with the Taylor Force Act,” America First Legal declared..
“The Taylor Force Act, named after our son, was passed by Congress and signed by President Trump to stop this Pay to Slay. Yet the Biden Administration has resumed payments to the PA notwithstanding its Pay to Slay program,” Stuart Force, Taylor’s father, said.
The Biden administration’s decision to fund the Palestinian Authority has consequences beyond Israel. Islamic terrorism is a global threat and has been a reliable killer of Americans abroad.
“Robbi and I call upon President Biden to stop sending fungible taxpayer dollars to the PA that will end up funding terrorism,” Stuart Force appealed.
And the latest wave of violence shows just how ‘fungible’ that money is.
The massive uptick in successful terrorist attacks is not a coincidence. The numbers become more significant when we distinguish between so-called “lone wolf” attacks which are most directly impacted by ‘Pay-to-Slay’ and rocket attacks by other terrorist groups. 14 people were killed in direct terrorist attacks in 2018. That number dropped to 5 in 2019, the year Trump cut off aid to the PLO. By 2020, it fell to 3, in 2021, the year Biden restored aid, it rose to 4 and then shot up to 32 in 2022 reflecting the ‘slow burn’ effect of fungible aid money being taken away and then restored within a government bureaucracy even if it’s run by and for terrorists.
As the Biden administration continues pumping money into the terrorist entities occupying parts of Israel, the violence is drastically increasing. 2023 is already on track to top 2022 which had the worst numbers since 2015. The level of Islamic terrorism is returning to that of the Obama administration and that means that we can expect an even higher death toll in Israel.
The billion dollars in aid is a factor, but an even bigger factor is that the Biden administration, like its Democrat predecessor, has made no secret of its support for the Palestinian Authority. And the Biden administration has gone even further with its diplomatic support for the PLO regime and its pressure on Israel. The latest murders are the work of a terrorist group that knows that Washington D.C. has its back and will intervene to protect it from Israel.
The Biden administration’s decision to appoint Hady Amr, an open supporter of Islamic terrorism and opponent of the Jewish State, as its key liaison to the PLO, who was inspired by the intifada, has consequences, and dead bodies in Jerusalem are among the most obvious ones.
Islamic terrorism runs on money and foreign support. The Biden administration has provided both. The Palestinian Authority spends hundreds of millions of dollars a year on Pay-to-Slay.
The pipeline of terror may end with a 6-year-old boy lying dead on a Jerusalem street but it begins with cash coming out of Washington D.C. The attacks of September 11 cost Al Qaeda about half a million dollars. The cost to the PLO of killing that little boy, his brother and a newly married man going to spend the Sabbath with his wife’s family probably comes out to about $30,000 a year. Or $10,000 per dead Jewish person. That’s a fraction of the millions of dollars in foreign aid which could be used to finance hundreds and thousands of more murders of Jews.
$10,000 to kill a six-year-old boy, another $10,000 to kill his 8-year-old brother. Thanks to the financiers of murdering Jews in the Biden administration, the terrorists have the cash.
And we’re the ones providing it."
So, in other words, the ones who would gain anything from an assassination of Trump would be the Iranian government through its proxies in the Palestinian Authority, now in alliance with Hamas or what's left of its dessicated carcass, rather than the Israeli government. That, and the pro-Palestinian protesters who are here on visas, to which Trump said he would deport for their terrorism in the streets and on college campuses. Seems to me the deep state would rather pay off Iran as a form of extortion than allow Trump to finish the job he set out to do.
If - and it is if - he is serious about stopping the wars, I think there is quite the price on his head.
If he isn't, I still think the Iran plot is obvious nonsense.
That said, what kind of deal is Trump making to buy off the big money - if he is shutting down war inc.? That's another question for another day.
Netanyahu made Qatari funding to Hamas possible, sending Israeli officials over the Gaza "border" with suitcases of cash, for example.
I don't think "al Qaeda" acted alone in the display which sparked the proxy wars for Israel in the Middle East and Libya.
Trump did say he supported Netanyahu yesterday - right after he contradicted Netanyahu's call for regime change in Iran. Who calls the shots? It remains to be seen.
Obviously, no one listens to Biden. Trump is different. We shall see how much so if there is an election, and he is in it, and he wins it.
You seriously think if the deep state wanted Trump out of the way, he'd still be around? The whole 'assassination attempt' reeks to high heaven, just like the orange messiah himself.
The grim and crushing realisation since 2019 that the majority of “democratic” governments the world over are in reality a communistic una-party has been compounded knife cut by knife cut, that 90% of the people I admired and listened to are either complicit, conformist or cowardly.
I now don’t take sides in the black and white sense of that phrase.
I am not against the Russian people or the Ukranian people. I am not against Palestinians or Jews or any other race. I am however vehemently against the politicians and criminals of whatever race or ethnicity who run or sustain all governments; with the exception of a very few individuals.
Our problems are mainly:

* A sense of disassociated ennui in the general populace which prevents an effective fight back against the vindictive and avaricious fee who do hold the levers of power. (Lack of critical thought, academic lazyness, selfishness.)
Calling out this bullshit and not self censoring any more is how we turn it around. Individual populism without mob rule. Are we up to the task I wonder?
Remember,jews are not a race

I remember watching the Ayatollah Khomeini on telly as a kid. How we laughed when he called the US "The Great Satan".
Well.
This does not mean I am a shi'ite. It means the Ayatollah had a point, and that his redemption arc shows more about the claims of the Free World than the wider merits of his system.
That said, I do agree Iran has been extraordinarily restrained in the face of sustained Israeli outrages, and that it is a sign of the times that the so-called mad mullahs are the sane ones in this situation.
I think we should learn to accept difference, work towards balance, and that this can be done with a change of political strategy (from insanity towards the alternative).
Well said
Iran has done nothing.
It seems to be sinking in slowly with the people of the United States that the government is not the people's government, but it is the captive of various interests from the world around.

Outstanding, as was your recent Lifesite essay on Our Greatest Ally's genocide in Gaza.
I am seriously thinking about robbing a bank to become a founding member and help your wife purchase extremely expensive and functionally useless shoes. As I spend the weekend pondering the morality of this action, have you considered a "Buy me a coffee" tab on your substack?
Thank you for your praise as it is a lonely job at times and it is most encouraging.
A former Mossad agent reached out to me - via a PR agency - following my report on the Israeli aristrikes which destroyed a Catholic Church and killed 22 in a majority Christian town in northern Lebanon.
So I do get other forms of feedback too.
You're very welcome. I always look forward to reading your essays.
I reckon the Mossad agent was less than complementary. Keep speaking truths, Frank Wright. May God bless and keep you safe.
Oh they’re very professional about it. It is, after all, a profession in itself, this hasbara business.
When propaganda becomes obvious it has failed. This is the reason for “outreach”. The truth has got out of hand.
I have, but I am too incompetent to include it.
If you are going to relaunch yourself as a career criminal, why not consider joining me in my forthcoming reinvention as a rap artiste?
Count me in. From what I can tell from listening to rap "music", the fact that I can't sing well should not be an impediment to fame and fortune. I think that robbing a bank would greatly add to our legitimacy in the eyes of rap enthusiasts, so I am leaning toward felonious action.
As any true rapper knows, being a rapper is not about “music” or even making sense.
It is about committing senseless crimes of spectacular depravity, and adding a jingle.
This has to be the best and most bluntly accurate summary of that genre I've seen to date.
I speak as a rapper aspirant, the owner of a gold-effect gold chain.
Hat tip- GLC.

We shall see. There's a lot of money on War Inc. Let's see who does the talking.
A question but first a summary.
The survival of Israel is the prime excuse, justification for the forever war/rules based order fantasia which “the liberal elite depend on for their livelihood “. (That is your quote from a previous post - which I wrote down.) This explains why building a narrative that it is Iran that is trying to kill Trump is useful; should they (the deep state not Iran) actually kill the guy, us deplorables will happily support the destruction of Iran.
That was unclear to me, I was suspicious but flummoxed, but now, our goodly author has convinced me, and I think he is unquestionably right.
Now for my question : “turbo charge immigration from the Middle East”, why. That bit seems incongruous. A boatload of Muslims in the west will make it harder for the Israel lobby to win public opinion.
This is counter productive to the main narrative - Israel is the only modern moral democratic state in the region - if we don’t support them we are next.

Turbo charged Muslim immigration to the west makes no sense.
Sure, the broad-based generic attempt to demoralize us through mass immigration but why muslims? Better to hold them back as the other; Virtuous Jews oppressed by mad Muslims.
What do I think of this mess? It’s insane, and a change would be most welcome. It does not make sense from the sensible point of view.
Now for my question : “turbo charge immigration from the Middle East”, why. That bit seems incongruous. A boatload of Muslims in the west will make it harder for the Israel lobby to win public opinion.
Immigration has been "turbo-charged" into the West. The regime change wars drove millions into Europe from Syria, Iraq, and from Africa through Libya. So that has been happening, and governments have done nothing to stop it - and everything to enable it. Criticism is suppressed etc., as is news of resulting crime.
What is the strategic effect? A permanent state of emergency in the West. If you happen to find this useful to your worldview, it is also helpful to bracket Israel's "Self defence" with UK and European terror and crime resulting from migration.
Mass migration is not an accident. It is enabled by state actions, at both ends of the pipeline. Why are they doing this? I do not think our leaders are acting in our best interests.
I think regime change is the project at home as much as abroad, if not more so.
Woopsie, simple, makes sense, I missed that. Muslim immigration wreaks havoc in our cities, further proof of them being barbaric and that Israel is a bastion of democracy and reasonable adherents to the rules based order. Yup.
Also us red state types are inherently bigoted. We do hate them because they aren’t like us (naturally) and besides it is true they shouldn’t be in our country. The elite despise us with some justification.
I really don’t like human beings .
Please explain what is moral or democratic about Israel.
Great article thanks Frank

In any case the war lovers better hope the missiles and drones and anti-air systems will suffice, because the United States military is to no small degree made up of treasonous leftists and zionists, but also mucho bloated whale-people who cannot do 3 pullups and need regular hormone injections. "High-heels on the ground" will at least give real soldiers in Eurasia a good laugh.
"Like all American lives, Trump’s only has value when it can be ended to fuel another forever war..."
This is the sad, macabre reality of our 'democracies' - what the war machine has made of them, anyway. Excellent write up.

And politico
I write a lot about this sort of thing for LifeSite. Yes, Israel’s intention is to “police the planet”, as it has stated, and yes it censors US “news” to do so.
I also reported on the Israeli intelligence takeover at Twitter, in addition to the 22 billion dollars in lost ad revenue organised by Greenblatt’s ADL. That was the price of free speech on Twitter, which was good while it lasted.
If the spooks kill Trump pre election they have the added bonus of throwing the US into such a turbulent social state that government will be able to pursue its international campaigns unmonitored. The populace will be busy chewing its own leg off with very little controlled propaganda being needed to start extreme civil upheaval. Not sure about how the election figures into it, I haven't solidified my opinion on Vance and how he would respond to being thrust into the presidency.
They might kill him afterwards, to get the war they want. We shall see. They may not have to.
The amount of plot holes in this article would give Swiss cheese a run for its money. If anyone wants to assassinate Trump, it certainly isn't the Israeli government, especially since it was the Trump administration that cut off foreign aid to the Palestinian Authority:

"After Biden Sent $1B to PLO, Israeli Deaths Rose 900%
It cost $10,000 to kill a 6-year-old boy and the terrorists have the money.
February 15, 2023 by Daniel Greenfield
When Secretary of State Blinken met with PLO leader Mahmoud Abbas, he boasted of the over billion dollars in aid that the Biden administration had programmed for the terrorist territories.
That aid has come with a very heavy price.
In Feb 2019, President Trump’s total cutoff of aid became official. That year, 10 Israelis or people in Israeli controlled areas were killed in stabbings, shootings, rocket and other attacks, down from 12 the previous year, and 15 in 2017, and 16 in 2016.
In 2020 however only three Israelis were killed.
These numbers reflected the diminished capacity of the Islamic terrorists. The reduction in numbers was not due to the pandemic. 2020 still saw attacks, including firebombings, rocket launches and stabbings, but the success and lethality rates for these attacks were lower.
The numbers turned around dramatically once again in 2021.
In April 2021, the Biden administration restored aid to the PLO. Terror incidents, reflecting attack attempts, shot up sharply from 91 in February and 89 in March to 130 in April.
By May, major fighting resumed with 13 Israelis, including two children, killed.
By the time the year was over, 17 people in Israeli areas had been killed. The over 400% increase in deaths was only the beginning. In 2022, 31 Israelis or people in Israeli areas were killed, up from only 3 in 2020, for a massive 900% increase in casualties since the restoration of foreign aid to the terrorists. This was the worst death toll since 2015 under Obama.
But in January and the first half of February of 2023, 10 Israelis have already been killed, including a 6-year-old boy and an 8-year-old boy.
Three times as many have been killed in a month and a half of 2023 as in all of 2020. That’s a 233% increase over 2020 in just a fraction of a year, but it’s also a marked month-to-month escalation from 2022 which featured no attacks at all in January or February. More people have already been killed by terrorists in 2023 than through most of March in 2022.
What a difference a billion dollars makes.
While the media has tried to portray the terrorism as “lone wolf” attacks, they’re crowdsourced violence of the kind that Al Qaeda and ISIS helped innovate. But the PLO’s version is unique through its ‘Pay-to-Slay’ program which rewards terrorists, regardless of their formal affiliation, including ISIS and Hamas members, with salaries and payments for their families.
Terrorists are paid based on the length of their prison sentence. That means successful killers can earn $2,000 to $3,000 a month in a part of the world where the average salary is around $700 a month. It’s five times more profitable to be a terrorist than a teacher.
The Palestinian Authority calls for the murder of Jews, praises it and then rewards it.
Muhammad Al-Lahham of the Fatah Revolutionary Council, which runs the political movement behind the terrorists of the Palestinian Authority, was caught on video praising the “patriotic conscience” of a terrorist who had killed a rabbi taking his 2-year-old son for a walk in 2022.
The Trump administration cut off aid to the PLO’s Palestinian Authority and Congress passed the Taylor Force Act banning funds from going to finance Pay-to-Slay.
Throughout all this, PLO leadership have been consistent in refusing to stop financing terrorism.
“We will neither reduce nor prevent [payment] of allowances to the families of martyrs, prisoners and released prisoners, as some seek, and if we had only a single penny left, we would pay it to families of the martyrs and prisoners,” Abbas had bragged. By “martyrs”, he meant those Islamic terrorists who were killed while carrying out terrorist attacks.
Despite this, the Biden administration had restored aid and rebuilt diplomatic relations. Biden and Blinken have met with Abbas. And while they have attacked Israel over everything from letting Jews pray on the Temple Mount (due to Jewish prayers offending Muslim sensibilities) to democratic judicial reform that will limit the unilateral authority of pro-terrorist judges, Biden and Blinken have had nothing to say to the terrorists about the program funding the murder of Jews.
America First Legal, under Stephen Miller, filed suit against the Biden administration on behalf of the parents of Taylor Force: a non-Jewish Afghanistan war vet murdered in Jerusalem.
“The Biden Administration is well aware that the PA pays Palestinian terrorists to injure or kill innocent Americans and Israelis in Israel. Yet, in blatant violation of the Taylor Force Act, a federal law that prohibits the government from sending American taxpayer dollars to the PA until it stops supporting terrorism, President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken have resumed payments to the PA after the Trump Administration had stopped these payments in compliance with the Taylor Force Act,” America First Legal declared..
“The Taylor Force Act, named after our son, was passed by Congress and signed by President Trump to stop this Pay to Slay. Yet the Biden Administration has resumed payments to the PA notwithstanding its Pay to Slay program,” Stuart Force, Taylor’s father, said.
The Biden administration’s decision to fund the Palestinian Authority has consequences beyond Israel. Islamic terrorism is a global threat and has been a reliable killer of Americans abroad.
“Robbi and I call upon President Biden to stop sending fungible taxpayer dollars to the PA that will end up funding terrorism,” Stuart Force appealed.
And the latest wave of violence shows just how ‘fungible’ that money is.
The massive uptick in successful terrorist attacks is not a coincidence. The numbers become more significant when we distinguish between so-called “lone wolf” attacks which are most directly impacted by ‘Pay-to-Slay’ and rocket attacks by other terrorist groups. 14 people were killed in direct terrorist attacks in 2018. That number dropped to 5 in 2019, the year Trump cut off aid to the PLO. By 2020, it fell to 3, in 2021, the year Biden restored aid, it rose to 4 and then shot up to 32 in 2022 reflecting the ‘slow burn’ effect of fungible aid money being taken away and then restored within a government bureaucracy even if it’s run by and for terrorists.
As the Biden administration continues pumping money into the terrorist entities occupying parts of Israel, the violence is drastically increasing. 2023 is already on track to top 2022 which had the worst numbers since 2015. The level of Islamic terrorism is returning to that of the Obama administration and that means that we can expect an even higher death toll in Israel.
The billion dollars in aid is a factor, but an even bigger factor is that the Biden administration, like its Democrat predecessor, has made no secret of its support for the Palestinian Authority. And the Biden administration has gone even further with its diplomatic support for the PLO regime and its pressure on Israel. The latest murders are the work of a terrorist group that knows that Washington D.C. has its back and will intervene to protect it from Israel.
The Biden administration’s decision to appoint Hady Amr, an open supporter of Islamic terrorism and opponent of the Jewish State, as its key liaison to the PLO, who was inspired by the intifada, has consequences, and dead bodies in Jerusalem are among the most obvious ones.
Islamic terrorism runs on money and foreign support. The Biden administration has provided both. The Palestinian Authority spends hundreds of millions of dollars a year on Pay-to-Slay.
The pipeline of terror may end with a 6-year-old boy lying dead on a Jerusalem street but it begins with cash coming out of Washington D.C. The attacks of September 11 cost Al Qaeda about half a million dollars. The cost to the PLO of killing that little boy, his brother and a newly married man going to spend the Sabbath with his wife’s family probably comes out to about $30,000 a year. Or $10,000 per dead Jewish person. That’s a fraction of the millions of dollars in foreign aid which could be used to finance hundreds and thousands of more murders of Jews.
$10,000 to kill a six-year-old boy, another $10,000 to kill his 8-year-old brother. Thanks to the financiers of murdering Jews in the Biden administration, the terrorists have the cash.
And we’re the ones providing it."
So, in other words, the ones who would gain anything from an assassination of Trump would be the Iranian government through its proxies in the Palestinian Authority, now in alliance with Hamas or what's left of its dessicated carcass, rather than the Israeli government. That, and the pro-Palestinian protesters who are here on visas, to which Trump said he would deport for their terrorism in the streets and on college campuses. Seems to me the deep state would rather pay off Iran as a form of extortion than allow Trump to finish the job he set out to do.
If - and it is if - he is serious about stopping the wars, I think there is quite the price on his head.
If he isn't, I still think the Iran plot is obvious nonsense.
That said, what kind of deal is Trump making to buy off the big money - if he is shutting down war inc.? That's another question for another day.
Netanyahu made Qatari funding to Hamas possible, sending Israeli officials over the Gaza "border" with suitcases of cash, for example.
I don't think "al Qaeda" acted alone in the display which sparked the proxy wars for Israel in the Middle East and Libya.
Trump did say he supported Netanyahu yesterday - right after he contradicted Netanyahu's call for regime change in Iran. Who calls the shots? It remains to be seen.
Obviously, no one listens to Biden. Trump is different. We shall see how much so if there is an election, and he is in it, and he wins it.
You seriously think if the deep state wanted Trump out of the way, he'd still be around? The whole 'assassination attempt' reeks to high heaven, just like the orange messiah himself.
Things don’t always go to plan.
That's the story of my life too ;)
Well I reckon you and I have a lot in common there. “Fail again, fail better” is a fair summary of my track record.
