Philip Giraldi – The Unz Review Sept 11, 2025
I have university degrees in ancient, medieval and early modern history but search as I may, I cannot find another example of a small, low population state largely devoid of natural resources that has been able to dominate the politics and policies of a much larger great power to the extent that Israel controls many aspects of America’s government, its economy, its education system, its media, and, most of all, its foreign and national security policies. Little Israel commands and the superpower United States obeys, a relationship that has coined the expression “the tail wags the dog.”
To be sure, Israel has resources that might be regarded as unconventional for most nation states around the globe, consisting of a large and astonishingly wealthy network of “diaspora” co-religionists who are prepared to corrupt the governments in the countries where they actually live to benefit the Jewish state in every way possible. Politicians can easily be bought by Jewish billionaires, as in the case of President Donald Trump who reportedly received $100 million as a campaign donation from Israeli Las Vegas casino magnate Miriam Adelson, plausibly in exchange for Israel having a free hand in the West Bank, up to and including total annexation and deportation of the inhabitants to eliminate a possible Palestinian state.
In the United States, this Zionist Lobby power has produced a series of presidents terrified to object to what Israel declares to be its interests, plus a Congress that has been bought and manipulated into total submission to war criminals like Israel’s ghastly Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Even the US Constitution is no defense against Israel’s interests, with First Amendment free speech rights being abridged through the interpretation that any criticism of the self-described Jewish state is ipso facto a hate crime, which is a felony.
The abuse inherent in the relationship, which is hugely expensive to the US and damaging to its real interests, is fortunately beginning to be so visible that a reaction to the arrangement is beginning to penetrate to the level of the average voters. Opinion polls suggest that most Americans oppose what Israel is doing to the Palestinians, but President Donald Trump and the clowns he has appointed to high office, Zionists all, are unmoved. Hopefully they will see the light if a strong message is sent during elections coming up in November.
In a recent interview, I declared that the only real national security threat against the United States comes from Israel in that it has repeatedly pushed America into bad policy choices to serve its own interests. That means that policymakers, in search of the number one “American enemy” in the world, should look no farther than Israel and they should immediately take steps to distance themselves from Israeli initiatives. In terms of other alleged threats to the US, one must concede that most analyses coming out of Washington are essentially phony, designed to deflect from real problems, including which is what to do about Israel and the all-powerful Israeli Lobby reenforced by the “waiting for a Rapture” Christian Zionists that have taken over so much of the government. Sorry Marco Rubio but Russia, China, Iran, and Venezuela do not threaten the United States of America. Continuation of the dance of death with the Israelis will on the contrary be likely to lead to ruin for Americans.
The sad truth is that the United States gains absolutely nothing from its bondage to Israel, quite the contrary. When I was in government in CIA Stations and Bases in Europe and the Middle East I used to hear US politicians proclaiming how Israel (Mossad) shared wonderful intelligence information that made America safer. The truth was quite different as I used to see the Israel-generated reports and they were consistently puff pieces intended to make Arabs and Iranians look bad by inventing “threats.” It was that type of information, i.e. the claimed existence of WMD, promoted by Jewish neocons in the media as well as in the Defense Department and in the Vice President’s office, that led to war against a completely non-threatening Iraq that killed as many as 600,000 Iraqis.
More recent developments illuminate just how poisonous the relationship with Israel is, though one might also dare to mention long ago Jewish state perfidy like the attack on the USS Liberty in 1967 that killed 34 sailors and the suspicions about Israeli involvement in both the killing of JFK and 9/11, all of which were subject to deliberate US government cover-ups and bungled investigations. Israel does not hesitate to kill Americans, witness the cases of protester Rachel Corrie and journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, both of whom were murdered by the Israeli army. In neither case did the US Embassy demand an explanation from the Israelis.
This past June, Israel decided to attack Iran and convinced Donald Trump to join in the game, with the argument that Iran is secretly building nuclear weapons, which was not true. Israel, of course, has its own secret nuclear arsenal, and has even threatened to use the weapons in the Samson Option, but both Tel Aviv and Washington apparently regard that as perfectly acceptable. So the United States, to oblige Israel, followed on to the Israeli attack and hit selected targets in Iran. This led to a lying or ignorant, you can take your choice, Trump boasting about how he had “obliterated” the Iranian nuclear development sites, which was not true. So what was gained? Again “nothing” but the US went to war, a war crime, solely to appease Israel and spent something like $1 billion to carry out the mission.
More recently, Israel bombed a residential building in Doha, the capital of Qatar, in a bid to kill Hamas officials who were in the city to negotiate a cease fire in Gaza with the Israelis. The meeting was allegedly backed and “guaranteed” by Washington but it now appears that, at the same time, Trump or his associates were conniving with Israel to assassinate the Hamas representatives. The US has its largest air base in the Middle East in Qatar at Al Udeid with 10,000 American military on site. Mysteriously, the base’s radar and air defense system appear to have been turned off when the Israeli planes were approaching the target. One wonders who ordered that. And the planes needed to be refueled to return to Israel after the attack. Conveniently, British Royal Air Force tankers were in the area to carry out that task. Sounds like a set-up to end any chance of a ceasefire by killing Hamas envoys in an ostensibly safe country Qatar that was orchestrated by Israel, the US and Britain. And what does the United States of America gain from it? “Nothing!” Or rather, global hatred of Washington due to its groveling support of all things Israeli just crept up by ten points!
And then there is the Genocide in Gaza itself. If there is any remaining confusion about Trump’s true intentions, one might cite Netanyahu, who has asserted that he has complete American support to do whatever he wants in Gaza, “no partial deals with Hamas, go with full force.” It is nevertheless difficult to imagine how average Americans benefit by allowing the crime against humanity to go on and on, something that could be stopped with a phone call if Donald Trump had even a trace of compassion hidden somewhere in that empty head that he bears.
Regrettably, the United States is completely complicit in the atrocity that is taking place in Gaza which is clearly visible to the entire world. And the US is even paying for and providing the arms for the slaughter. There is a certain irony in the fact that Washington funds the war for Israel, which has both free medical care and free higher education for its Jewish citizens, something that many American citizens are reportedly struggling with. One might well describe it as a misplaced priority, but it is in reality yet another symptom of the power that Israel has over the United States government from top to bottom.
Finally, if any additional evidence were required to demonstrate Israel’s power over the United States, the recent block by Washington on visa issuance for Palestinian participation in the United Nations opening session in New York as well as the general ban on accepting passports issued by the Palestine Authority are steps demanded by Israel to make it impossible for Palestinians to argue their own case for statehood and decent treatment in international fora. And what does the US get out of it even though it in theory supports a two-state solution for Israel/Palestine? Nothing.
Such is the level of pure evil emanating from Israel that many have come to believe that it is capable of any crime, which is quite likely true. Conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated on Wednesday, reportedly had begun to entertain some criticism of Israel which had resulted in threats that led him to employ bodyguards. As a result of that and other developments, momentum is growing to do something about Israel, which is clearly considered a threat to all the world, completely reckless in its behavior, and having “secret” nuclear weapons that it is very likely prepared to use. Suspension from the UN and the insertion of an international protection force in Gaza to stop the genocide are being discussed under the “Uniting for Peace” resolution, which empowers the General Assembly to recommend such steps to take when the Security Council is unable to act due to the expected US veto. There are also calls for Israel’s presence and privileges within the UN system to be suspended until a ceasefire in Gaza and full humanitarian access to the strip is restored. But never fear, Donald Trump will receive his orders from Benjamin Netanyahu and the US will do everything in its power as the rogue state it has become to stop any such action, including threats of sanctions and even violence against those promoting those moves, just as the US has done with the International Criminal Court and other bodies seeking an end to Israel’s war crimes. That is the unfortunate reality.

A whistleblowing pal remembers Mandelson being sexually abused at their primary school in Hampstead Garden Suburb.
Sespite the terrible damage it did to him, he was later to do it to other small boys
“He’d always be talking about his famous grandfather (Labour’s post-war deputy leader Herbert Morrison),” said the friend.
Mandelson also boasted about jewish control of Harold Wilson, who led Labour back into Government in 1964.
The pal added: “He used to brag about how often he travelled in the back seat of Wilson’s car.
“From the age of seven, he knew where he was going in life. He wanted to be Prime Minister.”
Mandelson himself has never made any reference to his experiences with the homosexual master in the youth group, but it obviously affected his later life where he himself abused boys,
photos exist of him with the Amazing james randi outside a boy brothel
His appetite for power may have been a desire to do better than grandfather Morrison, one of the most hated politicians of his era. Peter Benjamin Mandelson, now 45, grew up in Hampstead Garden, where his neighbours included the Wilsons.
It could be said that Peter was born with a red spoon in his mouth. “He just sort of grew up in a jewish hard left political atmosphere,” recalled his mother Mary years later. “Peter was quite political at an early age. He liked talking to politicians.”

Sad the land of the free, and the home of the brave is being taken down by Jews. Let’s hope Americans really do love their country, perhaps they will elect politicians good for America
If you haven’t figured it out yet the US died in 1865. Up until then only whites could be citizens. True, Jews were regarded as ‘white’ because the creators of the country were Christians or bible nuts not recognizing that these vermin were mongrels. But eventually the science of anthropology and genetics would proscribe Jews from being citizens too, that is if the Civil War didn’t occur & change the laws incorporating all races as ‘citizens’. Now you know, thanks to me of course.
Salvation is from the Jews. Us Jews will guide you to a new and better world of justice and equality before God.
As the illuminated one (nico x) says:
‘Welcome to your Jewocracy’.
The Jew has been killing political opponents since always. They did JFK, RFK, Sen. Paul Wellstone, Rep. James Traficant, everyone in the 9/11 Pentagon meeting… only to mention cases inside America. Now they’ve got Charlie Kirk, a true American hero.
Charlie was a young true Christian that dedicated his time and effort to evangelize, actually exorcise, students across America infected with commie ideology (Bolshevism disguised as Humanism). Facing adversity, against all odds, he was there asking for a dialog, in cities dominated by the Demshevik party. In dealing with the mental deranged face to face, on street level, he knew things could spiral towards violence, even though his message was absolutely peaceful. He just carried on without private security, unafraid like heroes do.
A rifle bullet ended his mission tragically, a sad day for America and the western world. Being intelligent and Christian he gradually changed his mind on Isisrael, a natural progression of his self development. We are in a hot decade like the 60s, they have an agenda they want to complete before 2030. Why the hurry you may ask? Younger generations of Americans are not buying Israhelly victimhood narrative. As the oldies pass away in a couple of decades so does support for the terrorist nation. Without America’s support ‘Israel’ is toast. They have a window of opportunity to accomplish Israhelly goals. As the saying goes “the truth will out.”
Kirk was attracting crowds in his debates, people could freely ask him questions. There is no reciprocity when dealing with commies, Leftists don’t let conservatives have a voice in their events because for them any speech contrary to theirs has no legitimacy. Incapable to perceive that leftist ideology is a fraud from start to finish. Kirk was there to teach this people, at least the few ones with open mind.
He was murdered by the Jew not because he could convince millions with his logical arguments, no; he was shot because he had access to POTUS and could influence him. To change the president’s mind is a dangerous threat for the Jew, a ‘national security’ issue.
Contrary to over skeptics Trump is not a puppet, he is more like a loose cannon. Puppets are inanimate objects, Trump is a wild dog on a leach. The Epstein drama has been used to pressure Trump to do things he doesn’t want to do, which is a good sign. It means Trump is not behaving as expected, he is not doing enough for the insatiable Jew, there is hope. Remember JFK was a club member too, until he wasn’t.
God bless Charlie Kirk, we are right behind you!!
God bless president Trump with wisdom, will, strength and the lightning truth!!
Either Morality or More Hellity
If the US wants to survive it must free itself from the devil. The people must return in faith and repentance to God. The immediate effect would be the ending of Satan’s control by all of his minions in high places regardless of tribal, ethnic, or religious identity – all of those who have cast God out of the public square and are doing their best to keep him out.
Those without the gift of the Faith are the narrow ones with no space in their minds and who no longer have any place even for the authority of truth or reason to guide them.
‘Survival?’ Do you even know what the word means, you who have no Faith? Have you thought about it? Look around and see. You are being replaced. You have squandered your birthright for a pottage of materialism and banal temporal goals and pleasures. You complain about the foreigners of different cultures and religions crowding into your decadent Western nations, but you have no progeny to sustain yourselves. So you bitch and complain and fall more and more into Satan’s trap of hate and destruction.
Do you not wonder why people of faith in God are able to use their reason to understand what is really necessary in life? Have you not viewed at times people of Faith with kids and stable families, and thought they are so “restricted” and backward to your so-called “liberated” state? Do you not even now see the happiness you will never have? Do you not wonder how or why they even do it? Or if you are a cog in the systems running the world believing that you must go along to get along, is it not the base that you also believe that all matters of truth, reason and right & wrong are a really relative to the plans and interests of the most powerful?
If you have confined your goals to the limits of your own understanding or to the wills of others who can only see vistas of even greater wealth and power, is it not the case that you have squandered your own potentials to restrictions from the space and expansiveness of God in that thing called Faith? Why is it that those who are running things want to use their wealth, power, position or influence to stifle the growth and development of that Faith and liberty in others? Are you not also one of Satan’s minions, and if their is another realm above you, a living space, a place which makes all of our burdens and difficulties much more light, why do you scoff at it and pretend you are superior, but do your best to keep others from entering into it, and especially when everything in comparison shows how closed and impoverished you really are by being so shut out?
Have you ever asked why those who have become so turned in on themselves to create life styles, identities, and goals which are so narrow and self-centered that they feel they even have to blot out “space” of others, who challenge them with facts, faith and reason? Could there be a greater realm to choose from, and something to give us the power to change the course of our lives? Do you not wonder why their is no space in the minds of the Godless for those whom they do not want, that they feel that there is no solution but “to get rid of them”? Abortion, euthanasia, genocide, ethnic cleansing, wars, mind control, mass deceptions, lying and killing as a right, and even mass culling – you name it – are these things not from a narrowness and abject two-dimensional shallowness which leads to hate and destruction, and all coming from everyone without a true and enduring faith in God, who because of their false faith in wealth and power can only see those things as solutions to our problems? Have you seen or even thought about that very absence in all of our leaders and people placed in positions of authority these days?
Have you not wondered why the woke, the communists, the Marxists, the atheists, those who preach “open” society and “inclusiveness”, and those who claim to own most of the wealth and power in the world, with so much alleged intelligence and knowledge at their disposal, are so prone to lying and dishonesty that they they are now even divorced from common sense and reason, such that they will not even debate? Are they in fact afraid of truth and reason being open to the minds of everyone? Is their own faith even in mankind, let alone God, so weak and narrow they cannot even abide verbal opposition? Have you not seen this? It is so clearly before your eyes but you do not even ask why?
Do you not see that once we made reason and not Faith in God as the highest human attribute, that it no longer became a tool to point and guide to the His realm but instead made us a prisoner of its own devises and confined us to the limits of its own shallow understanding? Do you think we know a lot and should defer to the academics, scientists, and thinktanks who are making the world according to their own images and into a totalitarian prison? Have not seen that those who worship human or man-made intelligence as supreme have made even the Faith a prison, and yet they no longer will even share knowledge or obey reason’s results?
Even the religious authorities have been struck by the academic disease thinking that the problem is that Reason has gone, and that if we could only get people to debate the world would be saved? They do not really put Faith first. Charlie Kirk was debating with those who were still receptive to reason over their wills. The problem is that the West is run by a blind will to power of a Few who have suppressed the truth and reason in the masses, and who have governed human interests purely to temporal ends. More and more we see that people are not receptive to reason and accept the relativity of truth, and therefore reason itself. Our very temporal and spiritual survival in threatened by a relativity to the wrong things. Relativism to faith in God entails a relativism the truth and reason, and a relativism to right & wrong, which entails our destruction.
They who should not be just the custodians of Faith but its propagators, now just like in our secular institutions occupy the seats of authority. Instead of lifting up those caught in the muck of the world to the realm of God’s kingdom and the expansiveness of Faith, they have been bringing the faithful more and more into that muck, thinking that in “charity” everyone must be more “open” to “include” all of the diversities and life styles in the realm of a very fallen world. We all know exactly what I am talking about here. Instead of leading souls to God they lead them away from Him. If they are “liberals”, they are the devil’s special minions for the quick demise of the Faith. If they are “conservatives” they are his useful dupes allowing for the slow boil. If the are “traditionalists” they resort to external forms as the life boats from the reckless storms of a raging world of growing chaos, depravity, and hate, and from a Church body which is being sucked down ever deeper into it. But all of them seem to have lost the ability to steer the Ship in the right direction, clear of the those who are trying to smash it.
So, where is tat True Faith? What is the true basis of our progress for the flourishing of our civilization from which reason followed and knew its place? What is it that which has given so many the space, grace, and strength in their lives and minds to do the right thing, and to do what otherwise they would never have even attempted it – things which they knew were right but felt to be beyond their capacity? If you do not have it, and have missed the boat, then look around and find out what enables most people to live fuller lives with honesty and decency and also to prosper by making the best of what they have? There is has to be something other than the motivation for medals, honor, fame, power or wealth, when we know that those things in themselves end up being empty and shallow, Without an orientation to the true God in our lives there is no escape from the confines of the things which confine and do not liberate the soul. And so, once God is kicked out of their lives, they no longer even seek the truth in anything, and the authority of that which comes from reason they simply cannot abide. They begin to look for any excuse to exercise meaningless physical violence and destruction, all of which “coincidentally” matches the desolation and condition of their souls.
Some of the prevailing materialism was propelled by Darwin, who was probably right about how one thing seems to morph into another in the physical world of flux and various forms, but he was entirely wrong about the “evolution” of man. His thought cannot be right because it has worked not to lift man up to something higher, but rather to “devolve” him more back toward the apes, and to the muck of the swamp. His thought was just one more stage in the process of reason cut off from Faith, and used in a shallow way to replace the authority of God. The fostering of more atheistic humanism and Marxism by the rich and powerful is no accident of evolution, but an exercise of the will of man devoid of all restrains of faith and reason. It is no accident of evolution that so many emperors, monarchs and even powerful groups of the past have had destructive god complexes, as well as very selfish entitlement complexes.
The evils come from shuttling God and his authority out of our lives, which in turn kills the pursuit of truth, beauty, goodness and reason, all of which things come from first seeking him and his presence, and are added to us in proper measure.
NBTT = Trumptard
They can’t free from itself. USA= Israel.
A “ small, low population” state as you say Phil is hogwash. They are not that. They number in the 80 to 100 million, (maybe a lot more) , all directly descended from surviving tribes of neanderthalic people. They also number about 7 million paid employees at the cia, of which you so fondly reminded us that you were “once” a part of. 7miilion paid actors at the cia that manufacture 100% of media information, fakery, and crap. 7 million is a lot of “imbedded witnesses” and crowds at some dudes talk where they stage a fake assasinations. This time of someone no one knows, never heard of , nor care. It’s manufacturing to split the people ever more .

Charlie Kirk refused Netanyahu funding offer, was ‘frightened’ by pro-Israel forces before death, friend reveals – The Grayzone
Max Blumenthal, Anya Parampil
A Trump insider and longtime friend of Charlie Kirk tells The Grayzone how the assassinated conservative leader’s turning point on Israeli influence provoked a private backlash from Netanyahu’s allies that left him angry and afraid.
The source said anxiety spread within the Trump administration after an apparent Israeli spying operation was uncovered.
Charlie Kirk rejected an offer earlier this year from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to arrange a massive new infusion of Zionist money into his Turning Point USA (TPUSA) organization, America’s largest conservative youth association, according to a longtime friend of the slain commentator speaking on the condition of anonymity. The source told The Grayzone that the late pro-Trump influencer believed Netanyahu was trying to cow him into silence as he began to publicly question Israel’s overwhelming influence in Washington and demanded more space to criticize it.
In the weeks leading up to his September 10 assassination, Kirk had come to loathe the Israeli leader, regarding him as a “bully,” the source said. Kirk was disgusted by what he witnessed inside the Trump administration, where Netanyahu sought to personally dictate the president’s personnel decisions, and weaponized Israeli assets like billionaire donor Miriam Adelson to keep the White House firmly under its thumb.
According to Kirk’s friend, who also enjoyed access to President Donald Trump and his inner circle, Kirk strongly warned Trump last June against bombing Iran on Israel’s behalf. “Charlie was the only person who did that,” they said, recalling how Trump “barked at him” in response and angrily shut down the conversation. The source believes the incident confirmed in Kirk’s mind that the president of the United States had fallen under the control of a malign foreign power, and was leading his own country into a series of disastrous conflicts.
By the following month, Kirk had become the target of a sustained private campaign of intimidation and free-floating fury by wealthy and powerful allies of Netanyahu – figures he described in an interview as Jewish “leaders” and “stakeholders.”
“He was afraid of them,” the source emphasized.
At TPUSA, the rift with Israel widens
Kirk was 18 years old when he launched TPUSA in 2012. From its inception, his career was propelled by Zionist donors, who showered his young organization with money through neoconservative outfits like the David Horowitz Freedom Center. He repaid his wealthy backers over the years by unleashing a relentless firehose of anti-Palestinian and Islamophobic diatribes, accepting propaganda trips to Israel, and sternly shutting down nationalist forces challenging his support for Israel during TPUSA events. In the Trump era, few American gentiles had proved more valuable to the self-proclaimed Jewish state than Charlie Kirk.
But as Israel’s genocidal assault on the besieged Gaza Strip drove an unprecedented backlash within grassroots right-wing circles, where only 24% of younger Republicans now sympathize with Israel over the Palestinians, Kirk began to shift. At times, he toed the Israeli line, spreading disinformation about babies beheaded by Hamas on October 7, and denying the famine imposed on the population of Gaza. Yet he simultaneously ceded to his base, wondering aloud if Jeffrey Epstein was an Israeli intelligence asset, questioning whether the Israeli government allowed the October 7 attacks to proceed in order to advance long-term political goals, and parroting narratives familiar to his most vociferous critic on the right, streamer Nick Fuentes.
This July, at his TPUSA Student Action Summit, Kirk provided a forum for the right-wing grassroots to vent its fury about Israel’s political hammerlock on the Trump administration. There, speakers from former Fox News stalwarts Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, to the anti-Zionist Jewish comedian Dave Smith, denounced Israel’s blood-soaked assault on the besieged Gaza Strip, branded Jeffrey Epstein as an Israeli intelligence asset, and openly taunted Zionist billionaires like Bill Ackman for “getting away with scams” despite having “no actual skills.”
Following the confab, Kirk was bombarded with infuriated text messages and phone calls from Netanyahu’s wealthy allies in the US, including many who had funded TPUSA. According to his longtime friend, the Zionist donors treated Kirk with outright contempt, essentially ordering him to fall back into line.
“He was being told what you’re not allowed to do, and it was driving him crazy,” Kirk’s friend recalled. The conservative youth leader was not only alienated by the hostile nature of the interactions, but “frightened” by the backlash.
The friend’s account dovetails with those of multiple right-wing commentators with access to Kirk.
“I think, in the end, Charlie was going through a spiritual transformation,” Candace Owens, a conservative influencer who shifted decisively against Israel after October 7, reflected after her friend’s killing. “I know it, he was going through a lot. There was a lot of pressure, and it’s hard for me to watch the people who were pressuring him just say the things that they’re saying.”
She continued: “They wanted him to lose everything for changing or even slightly modifying an opinion. It’s very hurtful to me.”
Kirk appeared visibly outraged during an August 6 interview with conservative host Megyn Kelly, as he discussed the menacing messages he was receiving from pro-Israel bigwigs.
“It’s all of the sudden: ‘oh, Charlie: he’s no longer with us.’ Wait a second—what does ‘with us’ mean, exactly? I’m an American, okay? I represent this country,” he explained, before addressing the powerful Zionist interests harassing him.
“The more that you guys privately and publicly call our character into question—which is not isolated, it would be one thing if it were just one text, or two texts; it is dozens of texts—then we start to say, ‘whoa, hold the boat here,’” Kirk continued. “To be fair, some really good Jewish friends say, ‘that’s not all of us’… But these are leaders here. These are stakeholders.”
He went on to complain to Kelly, “I have less ability… to criticize the Israeli government than actual Israelis do. And that’s really, really weird.”
In one of his final interviews, conducted with Israel’s premier influencer in the United States, Ben Shapiro, Kirk once again tried to raise the issue of censorship of Israel critics.
“A friend said to me, interestingly: ‘Charlie, okay, we’ve pushed back against the media on COVID, on lockdowns, on Ukraine, on the border,’” Kirk told Shapiro on September 9. “Maybe we should also ask the question: is the media totally presenting the truth when it comes to Israel? Just a question!”
According to Kirk’s longtime friend, Kirk’s resentment of Netanyahu and the Israel lobby was spreading within Trump’s inner circle. In fact, they said, the president himself was terrified of Netanyahu’s wrath, and feared the consequences of defying him.
During the past year, the Trump insider was told by contacts in the White House that the Secret Service had caught Israeli government personnel placing electronic devices on its emergency response vehicles on two separate occasions.
While The Grayzone was unable to confirm the story with the Secret Service or White House, such an incident would not have been unprecedented. Indeed, according to a report in Politico citing three former senior US officials, a cellphone spying device was placed by Israeli agents “near the White House and other sensitive locations around Washington” toward the end of Trump’s first term in 2019.
Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson recounted a similar incident in his memoir, writing that his security team found a listening device in his bathroom soon after Netanyahu used his personal toilet.
The Israel-did-it theory
Kirk was killed this September 10 with a single shot fired by a sniper apparently positioned on a rooftop 200 meters away. He was shot while seated before a crowd of thousands at Utah State University in Orem, Utah on the first leg of his American Comeback Tour. The scene of Kirk collapsing from the impact of a gunshot to his neck just as he began answering a question about transgender mass shooters was perhaps the most shockingly vivid spectacle of assassination – and certainly the most viral – in human history.
There is currently no evidence of an Israeli government role in Kirk’s assassination. However, that has not stopped thousands of social media users from speculating that the pro-Trump operative’s shifting views on the issue contributed in some way to his death. By the time of publication, over 100,000 Twitter/X users have liked a September 11 post by libertarian influencer Ian Carroll declaring about Kirk, “He was their friend. He basically dedicated his life to them. And they murdered him in front of his family. Israel just shot themselves.”
Many advancing the unsubstantiated theory have pointed to a Twitter/X post by Harrison Smith, a personality at the pro-Trump Infowars network, stating on August 13 – almost a month before Kirk’s assassination – that he was told by “someone close to Charlie Kirk that Kirk thinks Israel will kill him if he turns against Israel.”
The frenzied speculation has set off shockwaves in Tel Aviv, where Netanyahu was compelled to explicitly deny that his government killed Kirk during a September 11 interview with NewsMax.

Netanyahu and his allies bury the Kirk crisis as “big tent” collapses
That appearance was just one of several interviews and statements the Prime Minister dedicated to Kirk in the wake of his killing in an effort to frame the late conservative leader’s legacy in a uniformly pro-Israel light. The major public relations push has occurred while Netanyahu wages a military campaign on seven fronts, punctuated by a regional assassination spree that most recently reached into the heart of Qatar, a US ally.
Netanyahu first tweeted prayers for Kirk at 3:02 PM in the afternoon on September 10, minutes after news of the shooting broke. He has since authored three additional posts about Kirk, even breaking away from the Israeli war cabinet to spend the afternoon of September 11 memorializing the conservative leader on Fox News.
During that interview, Netanyahu did his best to insinuate that Israel’s enemies were responsible for murdering Kirk, despite the fact no suspect was named or in custody at the time:
“The radical Islamists and their union with the ultra-progressives—they often speak about ‘human rights,’ they speak about ‘free speech’—but they use violence to try to take down their enemies,” the Prime Minister told Harris Faulkner.
In a September 10 Twitter/X post eulogizing the conservative leader, the Israeli Prime Minister described a recent phone conversation with Kirk.
“I spoke to him only two weeks ago and invited him to Israel,” Netanyahu declared. “Sadly, that visit will not take place.”
Left unmentioned was whether Kirk declined the invitation—just as he did with the Prime Minister’s offer to reload TPUSA’s coffers with donations from his coterie of wealthy American Jewish cutouts.
At the time of publication, a 22-year-old resident of Utah has been taken into custody after supposedly confessing to killing Kirk. The public may soon learn the true motives of the alleged assassin. Perhaps they will fuel the narrative which Trump and his allies advanced in the immediate wake of the shooting – that a leftist radical was responsible, and that a wave of draconian repression must follow.
But after the shooter’s initial escape and a series of federal law enforcement mishaps, a large sector of Americans will likely never believe the official story. Nor will they ever know where Kirk’s turning point on Israel would have taken the conservative movement.
Four days before the assassination, frustration among pro-Israel commentators bubbled over in public during an Fox News interview in which Ben Shapiro launched a chilling attack on Kirk without naming him.
“The problem with a ‘big tent’ is that you may end up with many clowns inside,” Shapiro told Fox host and fellow Zionist gatekeeper Mark Levin in an apparent critique of TPUSA.
“Just because you’re saying somebody votes Republican—that doesn’t mean that they ought to be the preacher at the front of the church, they’re not the person that ought to be leading the movement, if they are spending all day criticizing the President of the United States as ‘covering up a Mossad rape ring’ or ‘being a tool of the Israelis for hitting an Iranian nuclear facility.’”
When Kirk took his usual place at the “front of the church” four days later, he was cut down by a sniper’s bullet.
Within 24 hours of Kirk’s death, Shapiro announced that he would be launching his own campus speaking tour, vowing: “We’re gonna pick up that blood stained microphone where Charlie left it.”

Excellent!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏
In one of his final interviews, conducted with Israel’s premier influencer in the United States, Ben Shapiro, Kirk once again tried to raise the issue of censorship of Israel critics.
“A friend said to me, interestingly: ‘Charlie, okay, we’ve pushed back against the media on COVID, on lockdowns, on Ukraine, on the border,’” Kirk told Shapiro on September 9. “Maybe we should also ask the question: is the media totally presenting the truth when it comes to Israel? Just a question!”
RIP Charlie Kirk
I doubt Charlie would fake his own death.
Dopey Christian Zionists are not going to like it when they learn Charlie was becoming more Christian and less Zionist. Looks like Zionist Jews wanted him dead…
LOL…
How can the culture of materialism and falsity separate itself from its own black heart…the only way the Gods accept..
sacrifices must be made…and we aren’t talking charlie kirk..
the Americans must be separated from their brands..oh yes..from their consumer experience and brand fealty…from wal-mart, trader joe’s and of course whole foods..from their pick ups, condo’s and tesla land fill…the guns they brag about endlessly and of course google and silicon valley must be neutron bombed..it’s inhabitants flailed alive and staked out on the pacific highway..
they also have to pull the boyz in camo out of Germany..let those krauts put on the big undies and start their own fucking wars..
aye verily..fer sure..
Why does the US Government allow a couple of Jew donors set policy? That is completely insane. How about outlawing large donations to political candidates?
The author fails to say the obvious, Donald Trump is a piece of shit who takes money from Jews to do their bidding. Trump is selling out the nation to his Jewish donors.
Trump is a threat to us all.
@ Amalek
Thank you for the very informative commentary. The best I have read so far. Everything you say is not only factual but also highly relevant when we consider how enthralled and controlled our nations have become to ruling international money & military powers snuffing out the truth, innocent human lives, and basic rights with everything they touch. Be this ruling cabal essentially Jewish or also made up of Arab, American, Chinese, Russian, British, Masonic bankster, and corporate stakeholders then with the grace of God let them be totally exposed, opposed and deposed from all their powers and influence. To be more influential you may want to change your Arab-sounding name which means in the Hebrew Bible “the enemy of the nation of the Israelites”, to something perhaps a little more universal and not just one of the opposing “me-first” money-power groups of faggots stakeholders who rule on the basis that “might makes right” and “the ends justify the means”.
I disagree with certain details but the main thrust is powerful and to the point.
