Trump Picks a War Cabinet
I have already warned readers about Trump’s appointments of the uber-Zionist warmongers Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, Kristi Noem as Secretary of Homeland Security, Mike Waltz as National Security Advisor, Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, Elise Stefanik as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. and uber-Christian Zionist Mike Huckabee as U.S. Ambassador to Israel.
Now we can add uber-Zionists Sebastian Gorka and Pam Bondi to this ignoble list. Judge Andrew Napolitano said that “to a man” Trump’s senior executive leadership picks are 60% Jewish and 100% Zionists. Trump is being true to his campaign promise to “make Israel great again.”
The Bondi appointment as America’s attorney general is especially noteworthy. Trump’s first selection for this position was Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz. But after being announced as America’s next attorney general, the Zionist news media and political lobbyists pounced into action. You see, Gaetz is one of the very few members of Congress who is not on the Israel lobby payroll. The result: It only took a matter of days for Gaetz to be forced to withdraw his name from the nomination.
Enter Pam Bondi.
Bondi is a rabid, pro-Zionist zealot. She is also a radical anti-Bill of Rights zealot—especially the First Amendment. Bondi (along with Department of Homeland Security nominee Kristi Noem) has every intention of stomping out the freedom of speech in the U.S.—especially that speech which denounces the ongoing genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon and which supports Palestinian statehood.
In his interview with Max Blumenthal, Judge Nap and Max had this exchange regarding Bondi:
Napolitano: Aaron {Maté} and I have discussed at length the assaults on free speech by the Biden Administration, by members of Congress, like Elise Stefanic, as an example, who’s slated to become Trump’s Ambassador to the UN. I think you’ll agree with me that this is about to get worse.
Here is Pam Bondi, the designated to-be Attorney General of the United States, suggesting that demonstrators on college campuses should be deported at worst or interrogated by FBI agents at best.
Bondi video: Whether they’re here as Americans or if they’re here on student visas, and they’re out there saying, “I support Hamas,” you and I have seen that on all of these television shows. Frankly, they need to be taken out of our country, or the FBI needs to be interviewing them right away when they’re saying, “I support Hamas,” “I am Hamas.” That’s not saying, “I support all these poor Palestinians who are trapped in Gaza.” That’s not what they’re saying. So, I think their student visas need to be revoked. I think we need to reinstate President Trump’s travel ban immediately. There’s a lot of things that can be done to stop this. The anti-Semitism that is rampant throughout this country now. And it’s truly, truly heartbreaking to see what’s happening to all of our Jewish friends in this country.
Napolitano: So, this woman who’s about to become the head of the Justice Department, and indirectly the head of the FBI, believes that, the First Amendment notwithstanding, the government can evaluate the content of speech and decide which political speech is worthy of praise, which is worthy of interrogation, and which is worthy of kicking people out of the country. Worse than anything Joe Biden’s DOJ ever imagined.
Blumenthal: Well, the Biden DOJ has helped set the stage for this. But let’s look at how Pam Bondi came into the position as Trump’s Attorney General nominee.
It was the downfall of Matt Gaetz, one of the few members of Congress who has not taken Israel Lobby money, who actually voted against one of the major aid supplementals to Israel, along with other members of the Freedom Caucus, mainly because it also was linked to Ukraine aid. But he did it. Matt Gaetz went down mainly because of this bizarre background he has and this saga that involved apparently sexual blackmail.
And Pam Bondi comes in. She’s welcomed by CNN. It appears Senate Democrats will let her slide through. She’s been a longtime corporate lobbyist for GM, Amazon, Uber and even Gulf monarchies. She’s a corporate tool, and so that’s why she’ll sail through.
But also, in the last hours of Matt Gaetz as AG nominee, the American Jewish Committee and Anti-Defamation League condemned him as an antisemite. And Pam Bondi appears; someone with a very clear record working under Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who said he’ll be the most pro-Israel governor in America, of shilling for Israel and advancing Israel’s objectives politically and legally inside the United States on behalf of Tel Aviv, crushing the First Amendment and the rights of students and other Americans to organize against this genocide.
And what I think we’re going to see happen, and this is an agenda that’s been spelled out in the Heritage Foundation’s Project Esther, which was actually largely written by Christian Right activists, Christian Zionists, is to seek terrorism designations for groups like Students for Justice in Palestine, American Muslims for Palestine, the groups leading the demonstrations in the streets, and then to begin to actually prosecute them and de-bank their activists going to places like PayPal, Venmo and ordering them basically to block transactions of anyone who’s leading Palestine solidarity activity. I mean this is all spelled out. And Bondi seems to be the perfect person to advance this authoritarian, anti-freedom, unamerican agenda on behalf of Netanyahu and the Israeli apartheid regime.
Napolitano: Is there anybody in Trump’s cabinet that’s not an ardent Zionist?
Blumenthal: I mean yeah; it’s MIGA; it’s make Israel great again.
And I would like to ask Ms. Bondi what exactly is “truly, truly heartbreaking what’s happening to all of our Jewish friends in this country”? Are Jews in America being starved to death with blockades that deny them food and medicine? Are Jewish hospitals, schools and synagogues in America being bombed to smithereens by the nation’s military? Are Jewish children in America being shot dead in the head by army snipers? Are Jewish homes in America being bulldozed to the ground? Are tens of thousands of innocent Jewish men, women, children and babies being slaughtered like animals because of their race?
Give it up, Ms. Bondi. You are nothing but a Zionist hack, bought and paid for by the Israel lobby. There’s another word I could use to describe you and the rest of the bought-and-paid-for toadies of the Israel lobby in Washington, D.C. But you Zionist sycophants in D.C. are worse than those whom the word I could use describes; so, I won’t use it.
Let me also remind readers that during Trump’s first four-year term, he appointed more CFR/Bilderbergers than Barack Obama did during his eight years in office.
In addition, Tim Brown chronicles the massive number of billionaires that Trump is appointing to his administration. Brown reports:
So far, Trump has announced plans to nominate billionaire hedge fund manager Scott Bessent to head the Treasury Department, WWE billionaire Linda McMahon to head the Education Department, billionaire crypto banker Howard Lutnick to head the Commerce Department, and billionaire entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head the Department of Government Efficiency—an outside advisory commission tasked with slashing federal spending and regulations.
“These appointments clearly show the incoming administration will be run by and for the ultra-wealthy,” said David Kass, ATF’s executive director. “They’ve already announced plans to spend trillions of dollars to renew the Trump tax bill, to further enrich large corporations and wealthy elites like themselves while advocating for cuts to vital programs that working and middle-class Americans depend on.”
ATF’s analysis, released Monday, shows that the combined wealth of Trump’s richest nominees and transition team members—including the president-elect and Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), the vice president-elect—is over $313 billion. By comparison, the combined net worth of President Joe Biden’s Cabinet is an estimated $118 million.
“Even excluding Elon Musk—the world’s richest man and Trump’s co-director of the Department of Government Efficiency—the average net worth of Trump, his vice president, and top appointees is $616 million,” ATF observed.
Tony Carrk, executive director of Accountable.US, said in a statement Tuesday that “Donald Trump paid plenty of lip service to working-class Americans” during the 2024 campaign, “but as president-elect, he’s moved quickly to stack his administration with billionaires that share his vision of a rigged economy that only works for people like them.”
“Should the Senate rubber stamp these nominations,” Carrk added, “Trump’s department heads will be among the biggest beneficiaries of another promised tax giveaway for big corporations and the top 1%, paid for with deep cuts for seniors, veterans, and everyday workers.”
Billionaires have already gotten significantly richer since Trump’s election victory, according to research published last week by ATF. In roughly the week after Trump’s win, the combined net worth of the nation’s 815 billionaires jumped by around $280 billion—with Musk’s wealth surge accounting for 20% of that gain.
Anyone who thinks that a government led by neocons, Zionist warmongers, CFR globalists and billionaires is going to make America great again is living in a fantasy land.
Donald Trump won a landslide election primarily on the promise to end America’s stupid foreign wars. He promised to end the Ukraine war in 24 hours. But the senior spokesmen for Trump’s new administration are sounding more war hawkish than even Biden’s war hawks.
For example, here is Trump’s pick for the position of Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counterterrorism Sebastian Gorka:
I’ll give one tip away that the president has mentioned. He will say to that murderous, former KGB Colonel, that thug who runs the Russian Federation, “You will negotiate now, or the aid that we have given to Ukraine thus far will look like peanuts.” That’s how he {Trump} will force those gentlemen to come to an arrangement that stops the bloodshed.
That’s quintessential Donald Trump. Bullying. Bellicosity. Belligerence. Browbeating. But it won’t work anymore. Russia is not intimidated by the U.S. Neither is China. And neither is Iran.
As Professor John Mearsheimer said in response to Gorka’s idiocy:
It’s really quite remarkable. I mean first of all, again, if you want to cut a deal with Putin, saying things like that, having somebody who’s going to have an office in the White House talk like that at this point in time, is foolish in the extreme. Furthermore, I don’t know what Gorka is talking about. We don’t have the material that we can give to the Ukrainians to in any way affect events on the battlefield. The arsenal is basically empty. Doesn’t he understand that? Making threats like this is ridiculous.
So, now it looks like we cannot even trust Trump to end the war in Ukraine. And we’ve always known that Trump is a war hawk when it comes to Israel.
I remind you of the stats reported by Judge Nap. Trump’s senior executive leadership picks are 60% Jewish and 100% Zionist. That’s not a political cabinet. That’s a war cabinet.
