The Zionist neoconservative agenda of American hegemony

"We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people." —John F. Kennedy

My mind has been in overdrive studying history, synthesizing information, and trying to make sense of happenings under the radar of what I call mainstream. I follow certain old people, consistently, who have "perspective" in lieu of narrative. Paul Craig Roberts (born April 3, 1939) is one of them, an American economist and author. He was the United States Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy under President Ronald Reagan. In the following interview, in the context of Ukraine and billions of dollars that we sent over, he asked “Who is benefiting other than military security complex? Other than the Zionist neoconservative agenda of American hegemony?"

The phrase “Zionist neoconservative agenda of American hegemony” caught me off guard. I had to do some extensive research in order to properly understand how these words, and ideas, fit together. I still don't fully understand, but I had a paradigm shift anyway. To unpack the meaning of this phrase and my latest paradigm, I’ll go through each concept and how they intersect. It is my intent to help you refine your own ideology based on facts, and how these facts intersect with your personal worldview and spiritual/religious belief system, free of propaganda. In fact, I'm inviting you to please help me if you can, to fill voids in my thinking and missing information.

Zionism

Nathan Birnbaum (1864-1937), an Austrian writer and journalist, coined the term "Zionism" in his journal Selbstemanzipation (1890). Birnbaum helped pioneer a "national consciousness" among Jews and was active in Zionist circles. Over time, however, Birnbaum shifted his focus and eventually embraced Orthodox Judaism, rejecting Zionism altogether.

This is to say that not all Jews are Zionists. Zionism is a nationalist movement. Its core belief is that Jewish national life can only be fully realized through physical return to and sovereignty in specific territory. It has a territorial focus and rejects the diaspora (outside Israel). Diaspora Nationalism is an alternative vision that focuses on Jewish national identity and autonomy within the diaspora, without requiring mass migration to a single homeland. Its key aspects include cultural autonomy and rejects territorial consolidation. Diaspora Nationalism believes that Jews can flourish across multiple countries and do not need a single centralized homeland in Israel.

Theodor Herzl, an Austro-Hungarian journalist and writer, is credited as the founder of the organized Zionist movement that ultimately led to the establishment of the State of Israel in Palestine, with the help of United States and the Rothschild dynasty. He organized the First Zionist Congress in 1897 and published Der Judenstaat (The Jewish State) in 1896, laying the ideological groundwork for modern political Zionism.

Critics of Zionism see it as an imperialist or exclusionary ideology, particularly in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Invention of the Jewish People (2008) is a controversial book by Shlomo Sand, an Israeli historian, that covers the polemics around Zionism. Sand’s central thesis is that Jewish identity is primarily a cultural and religious construct, shaped over time by diverse communities, rather than a direct continuation of an ancient, homogenous ethnic group tied to the Land of Israel. He argues the concept of a unified Jewish “people” with a continuous history and shared ethnicity is a modern invention rather than a historical fact.

Sand argues that the idea of Jews as a distinct "nation" emerged in the 19th century, influenced by European nationalism. He claims that Jewish historians and Zionist thinkers retroactively crafted a cohesive national history—linking biblical Israel to modern Jews—to support the political project of Zionism. He contrasts this with earlier Jewish self-understanding, which he sees as primarily religious and communal rather than national in the modern sense. The book critiques Zionism as a movement that relied on this "invented narrative" to legitimize the establishment of Israel.

Henry Morgenthau Sr. (1856-1946), a German-born American lawyer, businessman, and Ashkenazi-born Jew, immigrated to the U.S. in 1866. He called Zionism "the most stupendous fallacy in Jewish history," asserting it was "wrong in principle and impossible in realization." He believed that Zionism undermined Jewish integration and security in the diaspora. In 1921, he published an article in The World's Work, titled "Zionism is a Fallacy," where he laid out his views describing Zionism as "a surrender, not a solution," and a "retrogression into the blackest error."

Christian Zionists believe that modern Israel is a prophecy that came to pass in 1948, that it is the continuation of the Biblical Israel, foreshadowing the end times, and that the State of Israel should enjoy special privileges as God's chosen people. They declare that Christians have a God-given duty to support Israel and its policies. Other Christians believe that the New Covenant established through Jesus Christ supersedes the Old Covenant with the Jewish people. In this view, the church replaces Israel as God's chosen people, and the promises made to Biblical Israel (including the land) are fulfilled spiritually rather than physically.

Neoconservatism

Neoconservatism is a political ideology that emerged in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s when a group of liberals were disillusioned by the Democratic Party’s "softness" on communism and social radicalism. Neoconservatives stand on American exceptionalism. They are the religious zealots behind democracy. They believe that America has a moral duty to spread and "to save" democracy, and they support a strong U.S. military presence globally that uses preemptive force against perceived threats. Key figures include Irving Kristol, Norman Podhoretz, Paul Wolfowitz, and Richard Perle, who helped shaped this movement that gained prominence during the George W. Bush administration, particularly after 9/11 with the Iraq War and the “War on Terror.” They also support Israel as a strategic ally and believe in American primacy. They are US-centric and see America as the world's enforcer of a liberal order. Neoconservatives are not globalists, but there is some overlap.

American Hegemony

Hegemony refers to dominance or leadership, particularly by one state over others. In this context, “American hegemony” describes the United States’ post-World War II role as the world’s preeminent superpower, exerting influence through military, economic, and cultural means. Neoconservatives explicitly embraced this idea, arguing that U.S. dominance—sometimes called a “benevolent global hegemony”—is essential to maintaining a stable, democratic world order. It started out with the Bretton Woods Agreement in 1944 that crowned the U.S. dollar as the king of currencies, the world reserve currency, with a gold backing. In 1971, it abandoned the gold-backing, and backed the dollar using Saudi oil, instead. Critics now see American Hegemony as imperialistic, accusing it of prioritizing U.S. interests over sovereignty and global equity, and warmongering to anyone who threatens the dollar's supremacy.

How They Fit Together

Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812) was a German-Jewish banker and founder of the Rothschild banking dynasty. To make a long story short, he positioned his five sons—Nathan, James, Salomon, Carl, and Amschel—in five strategic locations in Vienna, Naples, London, Paris, and Frankfurt where they all forged strategic alliances with European nobility and came to dominate government financing, bond markets, and trade in the world.

It was during the Napoleonic Wars that his family's wealth and influence grew significantly. Whether they instigated the wars or not is unknown, but one of his sons financed Wellington’s army through the House of Rothschild in London while another son financed Napoleon's army through the House of Rothschild in Paris. Banks profit from usury (interest on loans) and when borrowers default on their loans, they get to seize assets. Since usury was prohibited by the Church-led monarchies, royal families partnered with the Jews to do this dirty work.

The Napoleonic wars went on for 23 years, until they finally came to an end with the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. It is said that Rothschild's private network of messengers got the news to Nathan de Rothschild before anyone else received it. He then instructed his floor agents on the NYSE to dump the British pound so its price would fall quickly. When traders saw the price dropping, they assumed that Britain had lost the war, and everyone started selling frantically. By the time that regular couriers delivered the news of victory, Nathan had already bought back his shares at fire sale prices, reaping a massive profit when prices soared.

It didn’t take long before the Rothschilds grew into the richest and most powerful family on the planet…more powerful than the nations!

The Rothschilds are the wonders of modern banking…We see the descendants of Judah, after a persecution of two thousand years, peering above kings, rising higher than emperors, and holding a whole continent in the hollow of their hands. The Rothschilds govern a Christian world. Not a cabinet moves without their advice. They stretch their hand, with equal ease, from Petersburg to Vienna, from Vienna to Paris, from Paris to London, from London to Washington. Baron Rothschild, the head of the house, is the true king of Judah, the prince of the captivity, the Messiah so long looked for by this extraordinary people. He holds the keys of peace or war, blessing or cursing...They are the brokers and counsellors of the kings of Europe and of the republican chiefs of America. What more can they desire? —NILES WEEKLY REGISTER, 1835-36

On March 13, 1881, the Russian Tsar was assasinated, and one of the assassins was a Jew. This led to violent riots that drove the Jews from Russia in 1881-1882 to Palestine, Western Europe, and the U.S. as refugees. Edmond James de Rothschild (1845-1934) stepped in to rescue struggling settlements. Starting in 1882, he funded the early ones, spending an estimated $50 million (a massive sum at the time) on land purchases, infrastructure, and agricultural development. He sent European experts to teach modern farming techniques and established vineyards and wineries, bought large tracts of land from Ottoman authorities and Arab landlords, often through intermediaries to keep his involvement discreet.

By 1900, Edmund James had acquired about 31,000 acres, doubling the land under Jewish control. He funded factories (like the Mizaga glassworks in 1892), schools, synagogues, and infrastructure, while insisting settlers speak Hebrew and maintain Jewish traditions. His vision was to create self-sustaining Jewish communities, not just charity cases. Edmond aimed for coexistence, ensuring Arab cultivators on his lands weren’t displaced unjustly. He wrote to the League of Nations in 1934 that ending the “Wandering Jew” shouldn’t create a “Wandering Arab.”

Edmund James was the youngest son of James de Rothschild. Unlike his brothers, he wasn't really involved in banking. He enjoyed cultural activities, collecting art, and philanthropy. He later earned the title, "HaNadiv HaYadua" (The Known Benefactor, The Father of Israel), primarily for his commitment to establishing settlements for the Jewish people in Palestine. Without Edmund James, the state of Israel probably wouldn't have happened, since he laid the groundwork for its progress and eventual establishment in 1948.

Edmund James had a son, James Armand "Jimmy" (1878-1957). When Jimmy was born, his father was already buying land, supporting farmers, and building infrastructure for Jewish settlements in Ottoman Palestine, so Jimmy grew up steeped in this vision of his father. In 1913, the same year that the Federal Reserve was created, he married seventeen-year old Dorothy Pinto, a well-off English Jewish girl from London. A year later, he joined the French army (his dad was French and he was bilingual) during World War I. He was stationed in Palestine for a brief period and got to see the land that his father shaped, while Dorothy stayed in London, and managed their affairs.

Dorothy got to know Chaim Weizmann (1874-1952), the leader of the Zionist movement (after Theodor Herzl had died). She helped him and the advancement of Zionists by connecting them to the right people and financing the cause. In 1917, The Balfour Declaration was issued, addressed to Jimmy’s cousin, Lionel Walter Rothschild. It promised a “national home for the Jewish people” in Palestine, asserting the historic rights of the Jews to Palestine, as recognized by the British government and its declaration from Lord Balfour. A huge victory for the Rothschilds and Zionists, but Jimmy wasn't discharged from the war until 1919, and he was ill (tuberculosis scarring).

Dorothy had helped Chaim Weizmann secure the Balfour Declaration, which expressed British support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine. I read a story about this, which I can't substantiate, due to the secrecy involved, but it was about World War I. Germany was winning the war by a landslide and tried to make peace with Britain. With the help of Dorothy, the Zionists from Eastern Europe approached the British war cabinet with a more attractive offer. They said that if the British government would promise them Palestine that they would bring in the U.S. as a British ally and the British could win the war. It is said the Zionists devised a plan to beat Germany and obtain Palestine from Britain. Is it factual? I can’t be sure.

Jimmy and Dorothy had no children...only their cause. In the 1920s they traveled to Palestine, visiting Edmund's settlements like Zichron Ya'akov. For the first time, Dorothy saw the impact of their family's efforts, including vineyards, schools, communities, and they both grew deeply devoted to a homeland for the Jewish people. In 1924, when Jimmy's father Edmund died, Jimmy inherited the Palestine Jewish Colonization Association (PICA), and started managing dozens of settlements. He and Dorothy took over handling budgets, land deals, and settling disputes. And they contributed extensively to Israel becoming a nation state.

After Germany lost the war, there could have been speculation about foul play, but who knows. World War I is something I don't understand from a logical point of view. A guy gets shot in the Balkans, and suddenly millions of people are dying in trenches over what seems like petty squabbles or vague power plays. It doesn't add up to world war in my understanding of the world. Then Germany goes broke and falls apart, and there's another world war! And Russia and the United States are allies. The outcomes were the U.S. became a superpower, presiding over the monetary system (because it had all most of the world's gold) and Israel became a nation state. Russia emerged as a rival superpower...then the Cold War under the auspices of capitalism vs. communism. Oh, and the United Nations was formed in 1945.

The Weimar currency collapse happened because Germany printed money to dodge Versailles' impossible demands, lost production to war and occupation, and couldn't stop the economic spiral downward when the public lost trust. A chain reaction from war debt, reparations, and panic? Hitler rode the wave to power by blaming the Jews for the Weimar crisis, and tying them to the Bolshevik plots and profiteering. Could his hatred for the Jews have come from the fact that many of the Bolsheviks were Jews? And that they murdered the Christian Romanov dynasty? I don't know...and my brain hurts from trying to process all this.

Here's what I do know. Nathan Rothschild had envisioned a European Federation, similar to the EU. But Alexander I, the Russian Tzar, was a Christian who was baptized in the Orthodox Christian faith (pietistic). After 23 long years in Napoleonic Wars, the monarchies were tired of revolutions. The Tzar established a new European order that would promote peace and cooperation among monarchies, a shared commitment to Christian values and the divine right of kings. This Holy Alliance Treaty was signed in 1815 by the monarchs of Austria, Prussia, and Russia. Nathan Rothschild was supposedly enraged by this, and vowed that one day he would destroy the Russian Tzar and his entire family.

It so happened that Jacob Henry Schiff, born and raised in the same neighborhood as the Rothschilds, despised the Romanov dynasty too. Schiff was an American Jew, a leader at the banking firm Kuhn, Loeb, and Company. During the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), Schiff funded Japanese War Bonds, which strengthened Japan against Russia. While tens of thousands of Russian soldiers were prisoners of war, Schiff had heavy Marxist material printed and distributed in the prison camps to indoctrinate them and plant seeds of treason. When the war ended and Russian prisoners were back home, this propaganda spread across Russia and sparked a revolution.

Leon Trotsky, who many believe was a Schiff plant, was influential in organizing the Bolsheviks, while Vladimir Lenin murdered the Romanov Royalty. The Bolsheviks would later form the “Reds” (AKA The Communist Party). If this is accurate, with or without cause, it means that Jacob Schiff, a German-born American banker and Jew, was instrumental in the ushering in of Communism, the Cold War, and the deaths of more than 100 million people. This resulted in the rise of the Rothschild dynasty, in Europe, by arresting power from Roman Catholic Church.

Back to Israel...the character map. Jimmy builds on Edmond’s settlements via PICA (1920s–1940s), giving Israel land and people. His money and name lent weight to Weizmann’s diplomacy, and his final donation cemented Israel’s infrastructure. Dorothy supported Jimmy’s vision, then took charge after 1957. She was the glue—connecting Weizmann, managing details, and turning wealth into lasting projects for the Zionists. Weizmann secured the Balfour Declaration (1917), led global Zionism, and shaped Israel’s political birth (1948). He gave Jimmy and Dorothy’s efforts a national goal. And Hitler's chaos drove the urgency for a secure place where Jews could go. Chaim Weizmann became the first president of Israel in 1949.

Now get this...The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Basel, Switzerland in 1923, was to set up to handle financial issues from World War II, mostly having to do with German reparation payments. It was the first of the semi-public international banks. Its first president was a prominent American banker by the name of Gates White McGarrah II who was succeeded by Thomas H. McKittrick, another prominent American banker, and lawyer, who served from 1940 to 1946, during World War II. McKittrick was good friends with Emil Puhl, the Reichsbank vice-president, and two of the most influential Americans at the time: Allen Dullus (Director of the CIA) and his brother John Foster Dulles (US Secretary of State). Anyway, the BIS facilitated transactions that significantly aided Nazi Germany during World War II. Again, a roundabout banker's way of funding both sides of war.

Conclusion

Back to that Zionist neoconservative agenda of American hegemony. What does it mean? I think it means there's some kind of religious behind-the-scenes instigator that is deceiving, manipulating, and using people for the purposes of profiteering...and their schemes are now everywhere! Something to do with central bankers? I'm not sure if that was Craig Paul Robert's intention or not, but that's what I'm seeing. The United States is not really operating as a sovereign nation, and it is not operating as a Christian nation, which explains a lot of happenings! More next week, as I continue to piece this together.
