The Genocidal Zionist Entity faces a crisis. Its Epstein-syndicate-blackmailed asset Trump is deep underwater in the polls. And Israel’s war on Iran, fought using the hijacked US military, is shaping up as a catastrophic defeat.

The US desperately needs to end the Iran war and stop the bleeding. American allies are the biggest victims of the slow-motion economic train wreck caused by the Resistance Axis’s blockade of West Asian oil and fertilizer exports.

In Asia, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan have nearly exhausted their strategic energy stockpiles. And in Europe, whose industrial economy was crippled by the US demolition of the Nordstream pipeline, energy supply shocks tied to the Hormuz shutdown are making matters even worse. Europe is beginning to face escalating shortages of diesel, jet fuel, and heating fuel.

America’s West Asian vassals are in equally dire shape. The fragile economies of Jordan and Egypt have been hit with fertilizer shortages and skyrocketing energy bills. And of course America’s petrodollar slaves—the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudia Arabia, and Qatar—are being strangled economically by the Resistance Axis’s control of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab.

If those increasingly desperate countries try to live on their savings, by cashing in their American bonds, the bond market will implode. The AI bubble, consisting of vast investments without much return, will pop. Economic Armageddon will ensue.

And then there is the petrodollar issue. US bases in those countries have been devastated by Iranian drone and rocket fire, and most have been all but abandoned. If the Americans don’t make painful concessions to Iran, they will be completely driven out of the region. That threatens the petrodollar—and with it, the planet-girdling ring of US bases paid for by the “exorbitant privilege” that allows US oligarchs to print unlimited currency and force the world to accept it.

So the US is faced with a choice between surrendering to Iran and limiting the damage to its empire, or escalating towards apocalyptic destruction. Surrendering while claiming victory is clearly the best option from the US perspective.

But the Israelis see things differently. For them, the war with Iran is existential. If the US surrenders, and Iran emerges stronger than ever, a revitalized Resistance Axis will emerge at the same moment that global and US public opinion are turning decisively against the Genocidal Entity. That will not only put an end to the endless expansionism of the Greater Israel project, but likely lead to the liberation of all of Occupied Palestine.

Historically, when “Israel” senses an existential threat, and the US doesn’t care, terrible things happen. In 1963, US president Kennedy vowed to shut down Israel’s nuclear weapons program. Israel’s founding father Ben Gurion, outraged by Kennedy’s intransigence, resigned as Prime Minister in June 1963 and largely disappeared from view. Zionist-controlled sources like Gemini claim Ben Gurion dedicated himself “to a quiet life centered around study and writing.” But many historians, following Michael Collins Piper and Laurent Guyénot, believe Ben Gurion “went dark” to devote himself to orchestrating Kennedy’s assassination. Following the JFK coup d’état, Lyndon Johnson, an Israeli asset, greenlighted Zionist nukes, the 1967 war of expansion, and even the attempted murder of 293 American sailors aboard the USS Liberty.

Even more terrible things happened in 2001, when American indifference to the Greater Israel project was allowing the Zionist entity to drift towards disaster. The “Israeli” economy was dead-in-the-water due to the dotcom bust, settlers were emigrating rather than immigrating, and a steady stream of Resistance fighters and martyrs were making life miserable for the settlers who chose to remain. Demographic forecasts suggested that Zionism was doomed, while the region was increasingly united against the Genocidal Entity—in part due to surging Islamic fervor and solidarity.

“Israel” responded by orchestrating the false flag 9/11 attack on America. Mendaciously attributed to Muslims, the massacre at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon stampeded America into a war designed to destroy “seven countries in five years”—namely, the seven countries that Israel viewed as its enemies. It also unleashed a multigenerational wave of “permanent Islamophobia” in service to Israel’s long-term interests.

The JFK and 9/11 coups illustrate Israel’s willingness to use spectacular violence against the United States in order to fend off what it views as existential crises. Today, looming defeat in the Israeli-US war on Iran represents, for Israel, the mother of all existential crises. A spectacularly bloody attack on the American homeland, attributed to Iran, might stampede the US into the kind of escalation that Israel desperately desires.

Killing Trump?

Israel might assassinate Trump and blame Iran. The media hue and cry—“we must finish the job our martyred president Trump started”—could conceivably move US public opinion in the direction of supporting a ground invasion of Iran.

Israel has clearly been paving the road toward this scenario. Netanyahu has consistently terrorized Trump with claims that Iranians are lurking behind every bush waiting to kill him. Most recently, Israel’s bogus claim that Iran was planning to shoot down Air Force One convinced Trump to sneak out of that plane in a catering container, leaving his advisors and press corps aboard the jet as bait for anti-Trump missiles.

The cowardly American president has repeatedly threatened that if Iran kills him it will be “wiped off the face of the Earth” or “blown up” or “decimated and destroyed.” In one especially unhinged tweet, Trump ranted:

“1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow, should the Iranian Government act on its threat, pronounced in many corners of the Globe, to assassinate, or attempt to assassinate, the sitting President of the United States of America, in this case, ME! Orders have already been given, and the U.S. Military is ready, willing, and able, for a one year period of time, subject to extension, to completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran – PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!”

In these and many other similar statements, Trump seems to be all but begging for the Israelis to assassinate him and blame Iran! Is the US president really that stupid?

I submit that Trump appears to be suffering from a peculiar variety of Stockholm Syndrome, a psychiatric diagnosis that describes when a captive or abuse victim forms a mindlessly slavish bond of loyalty or affection toward their captor or abuser. In this case, the abusive captor is Israel, which holds Epstein-style kompromat on Trump. But it goes beyond blackmail: Trump’s entire career has been spent fronting for Jewish organized crime. His hotels and casinos were money laundries and pump-and-dumps and bust-outs. His TV shows, including Miss Teen USA, Miss USA, and Miss Universe pageants, had Epstein-class Jewish mobsters as producers. There is a reason that kosher nostra kingpins Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff serve as Trump’s handlers. And there is a reason that Netanyahu holds the keys to the White House and can barge in and start wars whenever he likes.

Trump feels so fearful and helpless in the hands of Israel and its Jewish mob that he overcompensates by ranting about Iran wanting to kill him, when in fact he knows, at a deep and perhaps not entirely conscious level, that it is Israel that can and quite possibly will kill him any time it likes. By ranting about imaginary Iranian assassins, Stockholm-syndrome-suffering Trump imagines that he will please his Israeli captors and perhaps earn their mercy.

Israel’s hold over Trump, and its ability to kill him at will, has been demonstrated not only by the Zionists’ killing of heavily-protected (by Zionists) Charlie Kirk, but also by at least two of the three alleged assassination attempts on the orange baboon’s life. Israel-loyal elements of Trump’s security were likely involved in the two blatantly fake attacks on Trump: the Butler, Pennsylvania ear nick heard round the world, and the White House Correspondents’ Dinner farce. Since space does not permit a detailed analysis here, please watch John Hankey’s documentaries Trump in the Crosshairs (on Butler) and Hoax: The White House Correspondent’s Dinner.

Spoiler alert: It is overwhelmingly obvious that Trump had carefully rehearsed his performance in Butler, Pennsylvania, and that he was likewise well-prepared for the Correspondents’ Dinner fake shooting, which he calmly sat through with a knowing smirk while others, including his wife Melania, panicked. The Mossad elements of Trump’s security that organized these events no doubt filmed Trump rehearsing for them. If Trump ever disobeys them, they could leak the videos of Trump practicing diving to the ground, popping a pro wrestling blood capsule and decorating his ear and face with red streaks, and then leaping to his feet, against all Secret Service protocol, to shake his fist in front of the flag, with complicit photographers at the ready, yelling “fight fight fight!”

But since Trump is such an abject slave, while potential successor JD Vance looks askance on the war-on-Iran-for-Israel, the Israelis probably won’t kill their best-ever US asset. Instead, they might fake a “failed” attempt on Trump’s life with an “Iranian drone.” Or they might explode a radioactive dirty bomb in Washington DC or some other high profile location, hoping that an ostensible Iranian “nuclear attack on America” would evoke a nuclear response. With Israel-owned madman Trump in charge, they could conceivably get their wish. Or they might mount a devastating cyber-attack on American infrastructure, causing such chaos that confused, frightened, angry Americans might be vulnerable to media propaganda blaming Iran and demanding a US invasion. A combination of the above elements—a dirty-bomb-plus-cyber-attack-plus-fake-Trump-assassination-attempt—could maximize the mayhem and its effect on American public opinion.

Such an operation could be designed to create a state of emergency, offering Trump a pretext to cancel elections and declare himself president-for-life, as he has been increasingly threatening to do. This scenario fits perfectly with the “end democracy” movement spearheaded by Zionist tech-fascist oligarch Peter Thiel and his chief ideologue, Curtis Yarvin. And it would solve Trump’s biggest problem: How to survive the 2026 elections, and avoid impeachment and prison, despite his and his party’s extreme unpopularity.

But would Americans fall for another huge false flag? Commentators with mainstream-media-level audiences like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens and the Young Turks are increasingly voicing suspicions about Israeli involvement in the JFK assassination, the USS Liberty false flag, 9/11, the Butler shooting, and the murder of Charlie Kirk. These and other voices are all but screaming from the rooftops that Israel is capable of slaughtering American presidents, and thousands of American civilians, while using their control of mainstream media to stampede the nation into war.

Given the growing public awareness of Israeli involvement in the JFK and 9/11 coups, among other atrocities, and the massive unpopularity of Israel’s genocide of Gaza, the Zionists would be risking the mother of all backlashes if they mounted another spectacular false flag attack on America. But given their arrogant scorn for the goyim, and their oft-proved ability to get away with gargantuan crimes, such a scenario cannot be ruled out.
