Dear Readers,

As some of you know from following my posts on X, I’ve been unapologetically vocal about the overweening influence of Zionism on American politics, culture, and foreign policy. Over the past few months, my timeline has been filled with calls to expose the genocidal regime of Israel, the complicity of our so-called leaders in Washington, and the urgent need for a radical shift in how we approach politics.

Today, I’m taking those thoughts a step further. As I’ve floated on X under @RecTheRegime, I’m considering founding an Anti-Zionist American Party (AZAP)—a political force dedicated to putting America first, dismantling the welfare-warfare state that props up the foreign regime of Israel, and rejecting the supremacist Zionist ideology that has hijacked our nation.

However, given the near impossibility of gaining ballot access for a third party, an Anti-Zionist American Political Action Committee (AZAPAC) might be a more practical approach to influence elections and support like-minded candidates, at least at first.

Let me be clear: Not all Jews are Zionists, and plenty of non-Jews—like the evangelical bootlickers in Congress—are rabid Zionists. But Zionism is the political ideology of the self-proclaimed “Jewish state,” a mafia-like entity built on theft, murder, and lies. Israelis themselves call it a “Jewish state,” and they’ve turned it into a fortress of belligerence, shielded by our tax dollars and the Iron Dome we fund. Without American support, they couldn’t continue their rampage against Palestinians or their other neighbors in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Iran.

As I said in one of my recent posts, the Iron Dome is the sine qua non of Israel’s genocidal spree—they couldn’t slaughter innocents without it. Look at the evidence from just the last few weeks. Even supposed “progressives” like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) reveal their true colors when it counts. Despite her performative outrage over Gaza, she voted against an amendment that would have cut $500 million in military aid to Israel’s Iron Dome program, drawing backlash from her own Democratic Socialists of America for not going far enough to oppose the Zionist war machine. If AOC can’t even support defunding Israel’s missile defense while it bombs civilians, what good is her so-called “leftism”? It’s all theater—Zionist influence runs so deep that even critics fold when push comes to shove.

And don’t think the Republicans are any better. They’re even worse, constantly promoting Israel as if it’s the 51st state while policing “anti-Semitism” to silence any dissent. Take Florida Congressman Randy Fine (@VoteRandyFine), a vocal Republican Zionist who posts on X about demons living in Gaza, celebrates New Year’s Eve on the Gaza border watching “fireworks” from Israeli bombs, and calls for dealing with the “#MuslimProblem” in ways that echo the darkest chapters of history. Fine has urged deporting non-Americans at pro-Palestine rallies to Gaza, labeled Palestinians as “demonic,” and pushed for unconditional surrender from Hamas, even suggesting that Israel nuke Gaza like the U.S. did Japan—all while supporting Israel’s genocidal actions. Trump treats him as royalty, given that he’s under Zionist control.

In one post, Fine reported on visiting the Nova exhibition in DC and declared, “demons exist. And they live in Gaza.” In another, he called for Israel to drop MOAB bombs on Palestinians, saying, “Calling these people animals is unfair to animals… #BombsAway.” He’s advocated ending all aid to Gaza, strongly advocating starvation as a tactic. Fine has even called for Palestinians in Gaza to “starve away,” promoting the genocidal holocaust being committed by Israel.

He’s not alone; the GOP platform explicitly pledges to “stand with Israel,” fight “anti-Semitism” through speech-policing laws like the Antisemitism Awareness Act (sponsored by dozens of Republicans who took millions from the Israel lobby), and to deport “pro-Hamas radicals.”

New York Congressman Mike Lawler (@RepMikeLawler) is another prime example, pushing for bunker-buster bombs to Israel, expressing concerns over humanitarian aid to Gaza in posts like “We must ensure this money does not fall into the hands of the very terrorists who caused this humanitarian crisis,” and backing the Antisemitism Awareness Act to codify federal civil rights protections that equate anti-Zionism with hate speech. Lawler has condemned BDS efforts as “reckless” and “hate,” and praised sanctions on UN officials critical of Israel, calling their work “antisemitic witch hunts.” This isn’t protection—it’s a coordinated effort to criminalize criticism of Israel, with Republicans like Fine, Lawler, and others leading the charge to equate anti-Zionism with hate speech.

Their “anti-Semitism” policing isn’t about protecting Jews; it’s about shielding Israel’s atrocities, even as they invoke the Holocaust while endorsing one in Gaza.

Now Speaker Mike Johnson is running cover for underage sex trafficking rings by abruptly adjourning the House early for a five-week August recess, effectively stalling any immediate vote on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein “files” and preventing lawmakers from forcing the issue through procedural maneuvers like discharge petitions or Rules Committee meetings. This move came amid bipartisan pressure to subpoena related figures and release documents, with Johnson deflecting by accusing Democrats of political gamesmanship while serving Israel first, even as he claims alignment with transparency efforts.

Trump is complicit in enabling the regime. After all, he’s surrounded by Mossad-linked individuals who push for dispensing with the First Amendment to silence critics.

And don’t get me started on the psychopaths in Israel. They mass-produce “anti-Semitism” on purpose because they need it to justify Israel’s existence. Every IDF bomb dropped creates more outrage, which they then weaponize to cry “Jew-hater” at anyone who dares speak out. Meanwhile, the Palestinians are more semitic than the Israelis.

But let’s dig deeper into the foundational lies that prop up this regime’s latest horror show: the hasbara surrounding October 7, 2023. From the outset, Zionist mouthpieces flooded the airwaves with atrocity stories designed to manufacture consent for genocide—claims that have since crumbled under scrutiny. Remember the “40 beheaded babies”? That was pure fiction, debunked even by Israeli sources, yet it was parroted by Biden and mainstream media to justify endless bombing. Or the mass rape allegations, largely based on unverified testimonies from ZAKA, a volunteer group with no forensic expertise, whose members admitted to fabricating stories for fundraising and sympathy. Israeli journalists and investigations revealed ZAKA’s tales of pregnant women disemboweled or babies baked in ovens were unsubstantiated, yet they fueled global outrage. Forensic analysis by outlets like Al Jazeera showed many claims of systematic sexual violence were exaggerated or false, with some “evidence” coming from anonymous sources or misidentified bodies. The Hannibal Directive—Israel’s policy of killing its own to prevent captures—likely accounted for civilian deaths at Kibbutz Be’eri, where IDF shelling hit homes and cars with hostages and other Israelis inside. Hamas didn’t burn babies; Israeli helicopters and tanks did. Conspiracy theories aside, the misinformation war was asymmetric: Hamas documented its actions, while Israel suppressed footage and delayed investigations to spin narratives. Politicians like Fine and Lawler used these myths to dehumanize Palestinians and portray Israel as the eternal victim. As one debunking report noted, “October 7 forensic analysis shows Hamas abuses, many false Israeli claims.” The truth? Civilians died horribly, but Israel’s response has been vastly disproportionate slaughter, enabled by these lies. Exposing this propaganda is crucial because it underpins the Zionist narrative. Without the myth of unprovoked barbarity on October 7—ignoring decades of occupation, blockade, and IDF and settler violence—Israel couldn’t justify razing Gaza. Yet here we are, with far more than the officially reported 50,000 dead—mostly civilians—with the true toll likely exponentially higher.

A Harvard-linked study, published via the Harvard Dataverse, estimates that nearly 400,000 Palestinians in Gaza have “disappeared” or gone missing, presumed dead under the rubble, with half of them children, based on Israeli military data and spatial analysis. This hidden death toll surpasses the Gaza Health Ministry’s figures, revealing the full scale of Israel’s genocidal campaign.

And let’s not forget Trump’s own confessions that reveal this his position on this catastrophe. In statements about “taking over” Gaza, he casually mentioned that only about 1.8 million Palestinians remain there—implying, if Gaza’s pre-war population was around 2.3 million, that hundreds of thousands have been killed or displaced in the slaughter. Trump has openly proposed relocating the Palestinians in Gaza to neighboring countries with “humanitarian hearts” and “great wealth,” so the Israel-U.S. coalition can level the site and rebuild it without them. Even more outrageously, Trump has floated turning Gaza into the “Riviera of the Middle East”—a luxurious resort paradise built over the corpses of the Palestinian people. This isn’t some pie-in-the-sky dream; it’s a naked endorsement of genocide and land theft, where Gaza’s beaches become playgrounds for the elite once the “problem” of its inhabitants is “solved.” Trump doubled down, saying Palestinians wouldn’t be allowed to return, as Gaza in its current state is “uninhabitable” due to “decades of death.”

This aligns perfectly with Israel’s own plans for complete ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip. Recent reports detail Israeli government proposals to demolish remaining infrastructure, forcibly transferring the population to a small “humanitarian” enclave in southern Gaza—essentially an internment camp on the ruins of Rafah—and annex territory indefinitely. Defense ministers and security cabinets have approved plans to concentrate Palestinians into tiny areas, preventing their return and turning Gaza into a militarized zone or settler paradise. Experts call it a “concentration camp” tactic, inching closer to extermination and mass deportation, all under the guise of “security.” This is genocide by design, with Trump cheering it on as a real estate opportunity and Fine cheering “BombsAway” while law makers arm the bombers. This is the moral inversion: baby-killers calling critics monsters.

But this isn’t just about Israel; it’s about America. Our government is under Zionist control. And to divert attention from this fact, Republicans are baiting their followers with talk of prosecuting Obama, Comey, and others, while enlarging a domestic military police force with ICE, ostensibly for immigration control, but which could very well be repurposed against American citizens critical of Israel. Under the guise of “national security” and fighting “extremism,” these ICE forces—bolstered by Zionist-influenced policies—might soon target dissenters who oppose endless aid to foreign regimes or speak out against genocide. We’ve seen how “anti-terrorism” laws get twisted to surveil and suppress anti-war voices; imagine ICE raids on protesters labeled “pro-Hamas” by the likes of Randy Fine.

In a truly anarcho-capitalist world, every inch of land would be private, and such state coercion wouldn’t exist. Until then, we’re stuck with a compulsory apparatus forced by the central state, eroding our liberties while we bleed billions to prop up a foreign regime.

That’s why I’m seriously considering launching AZAP and/or AZAPAC. It wouldn’t be another GOP or Democrat offshoot—those are Zionist-captured puppets. It would unite left and right on the only issue that can: opposing Zionism and its control over the political class in the U.S. No more endless wars for Israel, no more silencing dissent under the guise of “fighting hate.” We’d work for absolute dissociation from the Zionist entity—non-recognition, rejection, and zero aid. We’d remove Zionist influence over government and conduct thorough audits and investigations to identify and remove individuals with dual loyalties or ties to Zionist organizations from key positions in the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. This includes banning and/or requiring lobbying by groups like AIPAC to register as foreign agents, and requiring full disclosure of foreign affiliations for all public officials. We’d launch an independent special prosecutor to declassify and investigate all Epstein-related files, including client lists and cover-ups. We’d pursue arrests, prosecutions, and full accountability for all guilty parties involved in sex trafficking, blackmail, and elite corruption, without immunity for the powerful.

Imagine a platform built on Hoppean principles: physical removal of threats to liberty, whether they’re Zionist infiltrators in government or their enablers pushing for speech-policing laws. We’d expose the frauds posing as “public intellectuals” who haven’t condemned Israel’s barbarity and mostly supported it. We’d fight the inversion of moral truth where baby-killers call you the monster for noticing.

For liberty and truth,
