Look, I am not one of those content creators who wakes up every morning scanning the algorithm for the next rage-click. I paint. I pray. I live far enough from the concrete that the noise has to travel a good distance before it reaches me. But some spectacles are so naked in their arrogance that you cannot look away without becoming complicit in the silence.
Today Benjamin Netanyahu sits once again in the White House with Donald Trump. It is their first face-to-face since the joint American-Israeli campaign against Iran began in late February and The Strait of Hormuz remains a choke point for the global energy market that keeps the paper dollar breathing. And the Israeli prime minister flies in to “discuss Iran,” Gaza, Lebanon, Saudi nuclear ambitions, and whatever else needs to be smoothed over after Trump reportedly called him “fucking crazy” in a private call last month. Long story short, Trump is Netanyahu’s bitch and Netanyahu is his jewish master. This is not diplomacy. This is further open displaying of the dual allegiance that every serious student of American power has watched for decades and that the partisan machines on both sides pretend not to see.

I often say that the Left and Right wing are a part of the same bird because the same institutional power structure that funds the Republican hawks funds the Democratic “moderates.” The theater of left versus right is a psychological operation designed to keep the American people fighting each other over symbols while the actual levers of foreign policy remain in the same hands. AIPAC does not care which party holds the gavels. It cares that the money and the weapons keep moving. That is not a conspiracy theory. That is the documented spending record of the most powerful foreign-policy lobby in Washington. And I guess this is my call to action to reach out to your slave minded baby boomer family members to tell them that they spit on the face of Christ everyday as they support this genocidal machine.
Jesus of Nazareth was not a Republican or a Democrat. He was an anarchist in the only sense that matters: a man who rejected every form of authoritarian control that claimed divine authority while grinding the people under its heel. The Pharisees were not simply religious conservatives. They were the institutional gatekeepers who had made an alliance with the Roman state, no different than AIPAC today. They kept the Temple running as a profitable marketplace and called it holiness. When Christ walked into that Temple and flipped the tables of the money-changers, He was not performing a polite reform. He was declaring war on the entire apparatus of religious-political-financial power that had captured the covenant people.
The dollar is being hyper-accelerated toward its logical end. Inflation is not a temporary inconvenience. It is the tax the empire levies on the productive class while the connected class buys real assets. The people who will make it to the other side of that closing door are the ones who have already unplugged: who have left the cities, who have rejected the pharmaceutical dependency model, who have stocked nutrient-dense food instead of processed calories, who have stopped worshipping the celebrities and the influencers, and who have accepted that the entire spectacle is collapsing under its own weight.
Christ is the model. Not the domesticated, partisan Christ of the megachurches. The actual Jesus who told Pilate that His kingdom is not of this world, who refused the offer of all the kingdoms when Satan dangled them in the wilderness, who walked away from every attempt to crown Him an earthly king. That is the rugged individualism that matters. Not the brand of individualism sold by talk-radio hosts. The kind that costs you something.
So when you watch Netanyahu and Trump smile for the cameras today, or when you see another thirty million dollars flood a primary race to protect the flow of weapons, do not waste your energy on the tribal anger the media wants from you. See the pattern. The same pattern that flipped the tables two thousand years ago is still at work. The only rational response is to walk out of the Temple altogether and to announce to your friends and family that the entire political structure is occupied by rabid jews and honeypotted pedophiles.
Fuck Israel and fuck Netanyahu, the true president of the United States.
