| This is a bit long but when we’re confronted with a fascist “revolution,” which Heritage Foundation’s President Kevin Roberts promotes as a “Second American Revolution,” some context is necessary, adding to the word count. https://x.com/yhazony/status/1840097844990009698 The link above is to Israeli Settler/NatCon Il Duce, Yoram Hazony’s X page, with his commentary and Mike Benz’s included below, both working on behalf of the Israeli fascist coalition, it would seem obvious. Both of these "gentlemen” have been celebrated on this email list, with Benz for his opposition to the a non-Trumpite Deep State, with his preference instead for the Heritage Foundation’s Trump/Thiel/Koch/Israeli Fascist, Deep State planned for us: https://www.heritage.org/heritage-issues-statement-government-weaponization-against-conservatives (oh yeah, Quincy Intitute’s favorite New Rightists are on this program, like Fox News/Quincy Institute “expert” Mollie Hemingway, Kevin Roberts of course, along with Michael Benz and the usual array of far-right fanatics clustered at the Heritage Foundation). “One issue” Ukraine war opponents working on behalf of Trump, or at least putting into “existential terms” what happens to the world should he not be elected, conceal that Trump’s New Right/National Conservatism is modeled on Israeli fascism and is a template for what is planned as a conversion of the U.S. into a “Modern Fascism,” as called for by Thielite Curtis Yarvin. As should be able to be seen in this article: https://newrepublic.com/article/183971/jd-vance-weird-terrifying-techno-authoritarian-ideas Quote: Both Thiel and Vance are friends of Yarvin. In The Contrarian: Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley’s Pursuit of Power, reporter Max Chafkin describesYarvin as the “house political philosopher” of the “Thielverse,” a term for the people in Thiel’s orbit. In 2013, Thiel invested in Tlön, a software startup co-founded by Yarvin. In 2016, Yarvin attended Thiel’s election night party in San Francisco where, according to Chafkin, champagne flowed once it became clear that Thiel’s investment in Donald Trumpwould pay off. "Since entering politics, Vance has publicly praised—and parroted—Yarvin’s ideas.” With the following as an outline of Yarvin’s ideas for the U.S., though hiding it as for El Salvador, for what Trump/Vance have as an ideology: BLUF: "In the true startup state, in El Salvador or any country like it—in any poorly governed former European colony—classical monarchism is optimal; the best government is a maximal government. Anything that can be done publicly should be done publicly. Reform is nationalization and centralization—a la Frederick the Great. (TP-and National Conservatism, a la J.D. Vance, Trump, DeSantis, et al.) As I’ve said before, Suzanne Schneider has produced the most insightful analysis of Hazony’s “political theory,” and can be seen at the links below: Quote: "A new crop of institutions has been key to linking the local Israeli story to the global right. These include the Israel Law and Liberty Forum (founded in 2020 by the Tikvah Fund and in cooperation with the Federalist Society), the Kohelet Policy Forum, the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, and of course Hazony’s Edmund Burke Foundation. Such institutions partner regularly on conferences, publications, and lobbying efforts with more established conservative players abroad like the rebooted Heritage Foundation and the Fidesz-funded Danube Institute and MCC, while their staff and fellows engage in a global game of musical chairs. . . . "This global web of institutions, politicians, and intellectuals underscores a central irony about twenty-first century nationalists: they are the new internationalists, far outpacing the left in terms of political coordination across borders.” My only quibble with the above is failing to see in these “new internationalists,” their roots in "fascismo universale-the theory of universal fascism.” Which is what I’ve been saying for a number of years here now. Under which I include the “Thought Control Conservatives,” or more correctly, the cell within the Conservative Movement, that can correctly be called: Fascist Conservatism. As “theorized” by Willmoore Kendall and his various disciples, such as Traditional Conservatives John P. East, M.E. Bradford, and Richard Weaver. Identifiable by Kendall’s attempted recruitment of them to the University of Dallas, along with the Straussians he did recruit before he died in 1967. With Kendall the first “National Conservative,” one can see, with a comparative political theory analysis. He says “General Good,” his NatCon successors say “Common Good.” He uses the term “Virtuous People” for those Americans he deems conservative enough to be listened to; Hazony represents above all, the Settlers and fascists of the Jewish State of Israel as the “Virtuous People.” One doesn’t need to look far to see the historical precedent for this “Modern Fascism.” Fascist sympathizer/promoter Michael Ledeen (co-author with Trump’s first NSA, Michael Flynn, on a fascist style book) wrote a book promoting it, “Universal Fascism,” with the Introduction to it attached below: |

Here are two quotes from it, which should immediately bring to mind the “New Right,” and especially J.D. Vance. p. xv “. . . as we shall soon see, these young Italians were not only discontented with the actual structure of the regime but considered fascism's most signal failure to have been the inability to generate a meaningful doctrine, a philosophy of fascism which would enable them to pursue the path of a genuine transformation of the modern world. They therefore attempted to formulate such an all-encompassing doctrine themselves, which they called the doctrine of fascismo universale-the theory of universal fascism." p. xvi "These attacks on fascism's failure to provide a meaningful world-view for Italians, and the parallel claim that it had failed to liberate the creative energies of the Italian people, were not new either to Italian history or to western European politics in the modern period. Indeed, this kind of cultural criticism of political organizations is one of the fundamental strands of the intellectual history of the modern era. Fritz Stern has called the phenomenon "the politics of cultural despair,"6 and what is so interesting about its appearance in Italy is that this sort of criticism has traditionally been linked to the origins of the fascist movements throughout Europe." I’ve always been distrustful of U.S., so-called, military reformers, as one didn’t need to look far to see that their complaint at its core was that the U.S. military “couldn’t win wars” anymore, so had to "re-focus on warfighting competencies versus parading around to demonstrate ‘presence.’” And as expressed in this quote from the TabletMag article below” ". . . only a fool could be blind to the fact that the Pentagon way of war, three decades into the 21st century and a world away from the United States’ last conclusive victory, means death for all who pursue it." That’s what Trump brought to the fore, with his many calls to for the U.S. military to be more “ruthless,” as J.D. Vance specifically called for at the Quincy Institute: ". . . only a fool could be blind to the fact that the Pentagon way of war, three decades into the 21st century and a world away from the United States’ last conclusive victory, means death for all who pursue it.” And ignoramuses accept that Trump is “Ending the Endless Wars,” when in fact he precipitated the very conditions which led to both Ukraine and Gaza (and now Lebanon and Iran, see below).

· Most Americans still thought Iran was a bitter adversary. But Democrats and Republicans in DC found the idea of a tilt toward Iran irresistible--not least because of the vast profits to be made if energy deals with Iran could somehow be made kosher. /6 Quote |
Mike Benz @MikeBenzCyber · Oct 9, 2023 Bidenworld's War On Israel, Explained: Here are some of the dark room deals & money incentives behind the Biden Blob's plans to enrich itself via natural gas deals w/ Iran -- & removing the Netanyahu gov't in Israel who stands in their way.

· There you have it: A delusional geostrategic theory ("Iran can balance Israel to bring peace Middle East peace") combined with gallons of raw greed ("We can make a mint off of Iranian energy deals") to give birth to a new U.S. foreign policy: Cultivate an alliance with Iran. /7 |
· Most people now understand that the George W. Bush/neocon theory that Iraq could be turned into a liberal democracy was cracked. But the Baker/Obama/Biden theory that Khomeinist Iran could be tamed and turned into an American ally was every bit as cracked. /8 |
· Under the Obama-Biden policy, Iran was seen as a crucial partner in bringing democracy to Iraq. And America lined up the EU, Russia, and the UN behind the idea of releasing Iran from sanctions (see under "greed") while pretending to end the Iranian nuclear weapons program. /9 |
· No wonder Washington hates Trump so much. Trump saw that the whole US alliance with Iran was fake and that Iran was just making chumps out of everyone in DC. Trump showed real peace could come from an Arab-Israeli alliance against a relentlessly hostile, imperialist Iran. / 10 |
· Fast forward to October 7, 2023. Thousands of Iranian-trained Hamas fighters invade Israel and exterminate as many Jews as they can. Muslim supremacists everywhere call for more. Suddenly, anyone with a screen can see exactly what Hamas, Hizballah and Iran really are. /11 |
· October 7, 2023 was a watershed moment in Israel. For the first time in more than 30 years, an overwhelming majority of Israelis were willing to go to war to put an end to the threat of extermination by Hamas, Hizballah and Iran. /12 |
· In a press conference on October 11, 2023, Netanyahu said that Gaza’s Hamas were “dead men.” Def. Min. Gallant said Hamas would be “wiped off the face of the earth.” And they meant it. /13 |
· The Israelis were talking about liquidating a major Iranian asset: The Hamas government and army of Gaza. Behind the scenes, Israel was going farther—planning a war to take out Hezballah in Lebanon and other Iranian assets built up on Israel’s borders over decades. /14 |
· This meant the Obama/Biden people would have to choose: They could (A) Let Israel win the war—thereby giving up on “balancing" Iranian power against Israel; -OR- (B) Let Israel blow off steam for a few weeks in Gaza—while the US shields Iran’s key assets from major harm. /15
