The Pendulum Swings: Free Speech Falls Under Tread of Prophecy
Beneath the smokescreen of combating the ‘Leftist’ scourge which has left American politics streaked in blood, the Trump administration has threatened curbs on free speech for the covert sake of protecting Israel. AG Pam Bondi has launched into a ‘heroic’ anti-hate speech crusade under the pretense of recent political violence, using Charlie Kirk’s assassination as a possible bait-and-switch, while Trump announced the long-awaited designation of Antifa as a terrorist organization:
Sure, the bold one-two punch may represent a much-needed curtailment of nefarious ‘Leftist’ operations—on the surface, at least. But the question is to what extent will they be used in undermining freedom of speech for other causes less ‘convenient’ to the heavily-Zionist-striped Trump administration?
Earlier in the year, the Department of Homeland Security released their new ‘anti-discrimination’ guidelines which oddly-enough kitchensinked anti-Israel boycotts into a broader list of ostensibly “anti-woke” proscriptions. After a public outcry, the most overt of the Israeli protections were quietly reworded while leaving enough legal language about prohibiting targeted boycotts that would allow the prosecution of anyone daring to protest against Israel’s genocide in such a way.
Below compare the first version with the swiftly revised one:
Oddly, these have been scrubbed from the DHS site, though they can still be found at the WaybackMachine archives. This is all yet young, and we don’t know know for certain how far Trump’s administration will take things, but for now it certainly lends a dismal outlook.
Some have gone as far as to warn of the connection with Trump’s recent deployment of National Guard troops to US cities, under the aegis of fighting crime and abetting ICE in their harvest of illegals. They have tied the initiatives into a broader ‘Project Esther’-style commitment to “fight antisemitism” by shielding Israel from any possible criticisms in order to whitewash Israel’s now-indisputable crimes.
For those that don’t know, Project Esther—named after a figure in the Hebrew bible—comes by way of the Heritage Foundation and aims to “dismantle the Hamas network” in the US by labeling anyone criticizing Israel or supporting Palestine as potential ‘terrorists’ and being tied to Hamas. The connection is obvious: the Trump administration’s normalization of boots-on-ground in US cities can easily be escalated to “rooting out leftwing terrorists” in accordance with Project Esther. Particularly, this could be done under a wider ICE dragnet which would act as stalking horse to plump headlines with the “good” kinds of jackboot roundups to paper over the nefarious kinds, i.e. the roundup of Israel-criticizers.
Many will cheer such scenes, until the switch is flipped and those same troops start coming for them:
Why is the danger now higher than ever for major crackdowns on anti-Israeli sentiments? Because Israel has reached a point of no return this week.
Not only has Netanyahu announced the ‘final’ operation into Gaza, launching the armored ground assault portion last night, but the UN has finally deemed Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide in as official a voice as possible, with the Commission of Inquiry—a subsidiary of the UN Human Rights Council—issuing a report with detailed evidence that Israel’s actions of eradication against Palestinians show a pattern of patent intent.
The full document from the UN Human Rights Council: https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/hrbodies/hrcouncil/sessions-regular/session60/advance-version/a-hrc-60-crp-3.pdf
Excerpt of findings:
3. In its previous reports to the Human Rights Council and the General Assembly, the Commission found that the Israeli security forces have committed crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza, including extermination, torture, rape, sexual violence and other inhumane acts, inhuman treatment, forcible transfer, persecution based on gender and starvation as a method of warfare. Furthermore, the Commission found that the Israeli authorities have (i) destroyed in part the reproductive capacity of the Palestinians in Gaza as a group, including by imposing measures intended to prevent births; and (ii) deliberately inflicted conditions of life calculated to bring about the physical destruction of Palestinians as a group, both of which are underlying acts of genocide in the Rome Statute and the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (“Genocide Convention”).
C. 220.
On the basis of fully conclusive evidence, the Commission finds that statements made by Israeli authorities are direct evidence of genocidal intent. Additionally, on the basis of circumstantial evidence, the Commission finds that genocidal intent was the only reasonable inference that could be drawn based on the pattern of conduct of the Israeli authorities. Thus, the Commission concludes that the Israeli authorities and Israeli security forces have the genocidal intent to destroy, in whole or in part, the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Let us briefly recall that the only officially and legally recognized “genocide” since World War Two has been the ‘Srebrenica Massacre’ alleged to have been perpetrated by Bosnian Serbs. This massacre saw a claimed 8,000 Bosniak civilians killed with a further 25k+ forcibly displaced, a tiny drop in the water compared to what is now happening in Gaza, with hundreds of thousands killed and millions in the process of being displaced. Given that Srebrenica is legally deemed a genocide by the UN’s ICJ, it should be a no-brainer for Gaza as well.
In light of this ruling, fear has swept through Israel. Netanyahu marked the inflection point in a speech which sought to brace Israelis for a new period of uncertainty and darkness, wherein Israel would forced to endure diplomatic isolation on the world stage, requiring economic ‘autarky’ to sustain itself:
Listen carefully to what he says: this is not a mere ‘rainy day’ blip to be briefly weathered, but a long period of isolation for which Israel will have to reconfigure its entire economy. Most concerning for Netanyahu is the coming isolation in defense manufacturing, which he foresees will have countries blocking critical military aid to Israel for the perpetuation of its genocide against Palestinians.
Recall that Israel’s mad dog policies have jumped the shark of late, adding new countries and war crimes to the list after Qatar was bombed, and the Houthi government’s prime minister assassinated in strikes on Yemen. Given that Israel also hit the freedom flotilla in Tunisian waters, the list of countries Israel is simultaneously striking with no repercussions has grown to include Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Tunisia, Iraq, Iran, Qatar, Yemen, and probably others.
Also, in light of the genocide ruling, recall how major social media firms, including Facebook have previously censured and banned individuals for referring to Israel’s actions as genocide. It should be noted that Facebook employs several ex-Israeli intelligence officers at the top of its corporate structure:
Emi Palmor: Sits on Facebook’s Oversight Board, described as Facebook's “Supreme Court” for content decisions. She is a Unit 8200 (Israeli Intelligence) veteran and former General Director of the Israeli Ministry of Justice.
Eyal Klein: Head of data science for Facebook Messenger since 2020; served six years as a captain in Unit 8200 and works on privacy for billions of users.
Eli Zeitlin: Leads Meta’s efforts to prevent data misuse by third parties; worked at Microsoft after Unit 8200.
What will these social media giants say now that the genocide is official? Will they apologize or reinstate people previously punished? We can probably make an educated guess.
Recall that NY Governor Kathy Hochul openly said on record that police would be watching social media for “hate speech” and taking ‘action’ against it. One can easily see how this slow clamp down on free speech would be tied into the greater effort of whitewashing Israel’s crimes. After all, Israeli firm Cyberwell—likewise tied to the Israeli intelligence Unit 8200—has reportedly been working with all major social media groups to censor free speech, which included successfully steering Facebook into banning the use of the word ‘Zionist’ in condemning Israel.
CyberWell, an Israeli intel-linked org, is now working as a "trusted partner" with "all major social media platforms" to censor "anti-Semitism," their CEO boasts.
HALF the content they flag is taken down and their reports have been responsible for "removing well over 300,000 pieces of content," CEO Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor tells Israeli TV.
She says they're using "AI" to "identify anti-Semitism" and their work will help platforms "automatically flag and remove hate speech."
"Only" 1 in 3 Jews reports anti-Semitic content, she notes, urging others to do more.
Getting back, Israel is now for the first time facing at least some blowback for its actions, precisely what Netanyahu had been forewarning. For instance, it’s being reported that Israel can no longer perform in Eurovision 2026 under the Israeli flag, and must use a neutral one instead:
…Israel was officially told that it must either participate in Eurovision under a neutral flag or not participate at all. Spain and Ireland insist on Israel's suspension from sports competitions, threatening a boycott. This is also a result of Netanyahu's rule.
Von der Leyen and her minion Kallas even announced sanctions and the suspension of some trade with Israel:
Of note in the above announcement was Kallas’ stammering correction of “Israel’s push into Gaza” to “Israeli government’s push into Gaza”, showing the desperation with which Eurocrats work to protect Israel at all costs, attributing any and all transgressions solely to the government despite the vast majority of Israeli society’s support for these actions. It plays into the “moderate” hand in Israel, which seeks merely to lay blame for everything on Netanyahu to restore the status quo of killing and displacing Palestinians more “quietly” rather than with the accelerationist approach Netanyahu had resorted to.
These same Eurocrats have been on record that all Russians should “feel the consequences” of the war in Ukraine, with polls regularly touted to highlight that Russian society is in support of Putin’s actions as a way of implying that Russians themselves are complicit.
Most symbolic about foregoing events was that a US delegation featuring Marco Rubio had been touring Israel at the same time, where Rubio was seen paying customary tribute to the infamous Wall of shame where all politicians must surrender their dignity and sovereignty. More piquant was the fact that Rubio even took part in the ceremonial chiseling of the ‘Pilgrimage Road’, a kind of ritual realization of the ancient prophecy Netanyahu’s fanatics are attempting to fulfill:
This “road” is actually a tunnel being constructed to lead partly beneath Al-Aqsa mosque. Recall that provocations against Al-Aqsa had appeared to trigger Hamas’ October 7th operation, which was subsequently named ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’. These included Israelis storming Al-Aqsa during Sukkot on the days leading up to the fateful 7th of October.
Netanyahu has gone all in because he believes the prophecy is close to being fulfilled, whereupon Al-Aqsa will have to be destroyed and the Third Temple built in its place. No problem for them, after all, Israel just yesterday leveled an ancient historic minaret built in the 1200s—Al-Aybaki mosque, more than ten times older than Israel itself:
Two months ago, an Israeli news site reported on the first ritual sacrifice of a red heifer since 70AD, as a ‘practice’ runup to the eschatological final chapter the Israelis are preparing the ground for by “clearing” Gaza.
In 2024, they had already begun performing mock rituals, which did not utilize the burning of a real sacrificial heifer.
A group of religious Israelis have been pictured practising the ritual of the red heifer, which is meant to herald the building of a new Jewish temple on the site of Al-Aqsa Mosque.
According to Jewish tradition, the ashes of a perfectly red heifer cow are needed for the ritual purification that would allow a third temple to be built in Jerusalem.
If the latest rumors are true, it means the Temple Mount Movement fanatics believe the time is getting closer, which explains Netanyahu’s total zealotry to the cause even at the risk of complete global isolation. What matters corporeal isolation, when Moshiach’s arrival is at hand?
It’s easy to imagine how Israel’s growing urgency toward fulfilling ancient prophecy is leading to the tightening of the tentacles around American free speech mechanisms to ensure nothing can interfere with the plan in its final hour. It’s perhaps not overly coincidental that Charlie Kirk was suddenly taken out at this critical ‘inflection point’, when the players are set to go “all in” for the final push.
Trump’s White House Chief of Staff, by the way, is Susan Wiles who helped lead Netanyahu’s re-election campaign in Israel in 2020.
Her name is fitting.
As stated in the opening, it’s not for certain that Trump and his administration will take things toward a dark turn in this way, but it certainly warrants precaution and introspection, given the prevailing circumstances. A kind of blind euphoria has swept through the Right during its celebratory victory lap, taken in perceived defeat of the Left in the Culture War. Most absently cheer the pendulum swinging back in full force, despite the inherent dangers that the ushers and heralds of this new paradigm may very well be Trojan horses for a new form of control just as bad or worse than the previously imposed tyranny. The pharisaical new campaign against ‘hate speech’ which has quite suddenly effloresced is suspiciously timed with the culminations discussed earlier, including the UN genocide report. We can only assume the powers that be know Israel will be taking the last plunge, i.e. the Final Solution, and all the fullest protections must be afforded it in advance, which entails a new national ‘hate speech’ scare that will be used to rein in and muffle criticism of the terrorist entity’s final chapter of butchery and extermination.
Only question is, will it be enough?
Most likely not—instead it stands to lead to accelerated social and political upheaval in countries shoring up Israel in this way, and ultimately, to their own demise alongside their now-doomed golden calf.
