Donald Trump’s first promise after taking the oath of office was to “end all wars.” Indeed, Trump started his second term with a strong staff and base, and his first job was to call Moscow. The Trump-Putin meeting first started by phone, then the delegations met in Riyadh and the first steps were taken to end the Ukraine war. In fact, this process definitely had something to do with the Assad regime that “suddenly” collapsed in Syria on December 8. Israel seemed like a red line for Trump, and Russia gave the new US President and Netanyahu what they wanted by taking their former ally Bashar Assad to Moscow. Of course, Ukraine should have been the answer to this.
Trump also shocked the EU and the UK by saying, “Stop continuing this war, I’m not in this anymore.” Trump’s right-hand businessman and advisor Elon Musk also raised the flag to support nationalists against the globalist structure in Europe. The Atlantic alliance was now on the verge of disintegration. For Trump, the exception was always Israel. When it came to Israel, the US, UK and EU (and even Russia, albeit with a low profile) could came together.
However, Donald Trump’s initial promise of world peace and the hostile language he later used against Palestine and Iran were clearly contradictory. Some diplomatic observers claimed that in fact, everything was not as it seemed, and that Trump wanted to get rid of Netanyahu’s constant war pressure. For this, they point to the ceasefire in Gaza that was achieved before he even took office and his support for an agreement with Iran instead of a destructive war. In my opinion, they are not so wrong.
It is no secret that Russia, whose relations with the US have started to improve, is mediating between Iran and the US. Trump and the idea of “America First” that he represents are categorically different from the globalist structure in the US and the West. The Biden era was a period when the US was in complete harmony with the globalist system (represented in Davos and the deep state apparatus). The globalists were more in harmony with the secular pro-Israeli Ashkenazi structure than with Netanyahu and his religious (eschatological) fascist coalition in Israel. They were sometimes in conflict with Netanyahu’s ruthless executive Zionist ideas. Especially recently, while struggling with corruption cases filed against him, Netanyahu defined this structure as an enemy.
It was even claimed with solid evidence that he was aware of the surprise Hamas attack on October 7, 2023 and used it as a leverage to save his seat and for the Greater Israel project. On the eve of his trial for corruption charges, Benjamin Netanyahu unilaterally broke the ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon, and thereupon arranged for US airstrikes against the Yemeni Houthis, who had lifted their promise not to attack Israel. Although Trump mocked the massacre in Gaza and made harsh threats against Iran over Yemen, he wants to avoid a war that would be very costly for America, which is already struggling with a serious economic crisis, for many concrete reasons.
The JFK Files Released
Perhaps that is why Trump did not spare Israel and Mossad, whom he had previously censored in the Epstein scandal documents, in the John F. Kennedy assassination documents he released this time. The release of the documents also coincided with Israel’s pressure to launch attacks on Iran, Iraq and Yemen. This seems more like a conscious choice than a coincidence.
The 1,123 documents related to the Kennedy assassination, which have been speculated about for years, have been made available to the public on the website of the US National Archives and Records Administration. The 1,123 documents consist of approximately 80,000 pages. According to initial impressions, the documents support claims that Kennedy was killed as part of a top-secret CIA operation with the knowledge of his vice president Lyndon Johnson. It is also understood that the CIA “Counterintelligence Director” at the time, James Angleton, played a role in this assassination with his Israeli colleagues. Angleton later removed all sections related to Israel from the files that were to be sent to the FBI.
Although the CIA spread the lie that Kennedy had been killed in a joint operation with the mafia because of his failure in Cuba, the real perpetrator was Israel, which Kennedy had insisted had given the red light to becoming a nuclear power. The Dimona reactor had been discovered just two months before he assumed the presidency in January 1961, and Kennedy was already deeply concerned about Israel’s nuclear aspirations (for details, see “Kennedy, Dimona, and the Problem of Nuclear Proliferation: 1961-1962,” in the National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 547).
These early concerns led to the first American inspection visit to Dimona in mid-May 1961 and the subsequent face-to-face meeting between Kennedy and Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion on May 30. The nuclear issue was also discussed in a meeting between Kennedy and Israeli Foreign Minister Golda Meir in late December 1962. Ben-Gurion gave clear assurances to Kennedy that Israel’s nuclear program was for peaceful purposes, and Meir insisted that Israel was not on a path to develop nuclear weapons.
In early 1963, American concerns resurfaced. In January, Kennedy received a new National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) that emphasized Dimona’s nuclear weapons potential. It indicated that the Dimona complex was likely to become operational later that year. According to the NIE, once Dimona was operating at full power, Israel would be on track to produce enough plutonium for one or two weapons per year. Weeks later, in mid-March, Sherman Kent, Director of the Office of National Estimates, signed an intelligence estimate that highlighted the regional and global consequences for the United States if Israel were to acquire nuclear weapons. On March 25, Kennedy met with CIA Director John McCone to discuss the Israeli nuclear program and shortly thereafter asked National Security Advisor McGeorge Bundy to strengthen U.S. intelligence-gathering capabilities on both the Israeli nuclear program and Egypt’s “advanced weapons programs.” The next day, Bundy issued National Security Action Memorandum (NSAM) 231, a formal directive to the Departments of State, Defense, and the CIA to examine “Middle East Nuclear Capabilities.”
In early April, Kennedy and his advisors transformed their concerns about Dimona into a quiet but positive policy demand: They insisted that Israel accept regular biennial U.S. inspections (or, in more diplomatic terms, “visits”) of Dimona. Kennedy initially applied the pressure through diplomatic messaging. On April 2, Israeli Ambassador Walworth Barbour presented Ben-Gurion with a request for semiannual U.S. visits; two days later, Israeli Ambassador Avraham Harman was summoned to the State Department for a similar message.
Ben-Gurion was expected to respond to Kennedy’s request for Dimona at his next meeting with Barbour, but he was not prepared for a direct confrontation with a determined U.S. president. Nor was he prepared to accept Kennedy’s goal of semiannual visits. Kennedy also restricted the activities of Israeli lobbying organizations by recognizing them as “foreign agents” in the US. When we ask the question of “Cui Bono”, it turns out that the one who benefited the most from the assassination was Israel, which established the Dimona Nuclear facility with information and materials stolen from the US. Israel’s lobbying organization called AIPAC was also freed from all restrictions after this assassination and became a deep power that can bribe every politician in Congress and the Senate today. Those who gave Netanyahu a standing ovation for 3 minutes in the US Congress did this thanks to the Kennedy assassination. The documents Trump disclosed constitute an important milestone in revealing Israel’s role in the assassination, and this shakes the view that Trump is virtually Israel’s slave.
The famous American Professor Jeffrey Sachs, who indirectly supported Trump with his stance on the Ukraine war, said the following in an interview:
“Netanyahu is the greatest, most disastrous president of the 21st century. He has directed American foreign policy for 20 years and cost us trillions of dollars. Israel uses the US as if it were its own army, and in fact it is.”
Let us remind you that one of America’s most famous historians (today he is 92 years old and has 50 books) Martin Sandler also wrote in his book John Kennedy’s Letters that Mossad killed Kennedy.
It is useful to read the JFK documents that Trump declassified from this perspective.
