Time: Trump’s Former Campaign Manager Is Running An Israeli Influence Operation Targeting MAGA Base

My thoughts:

1. This is pointless. It is a grift. No one is going to change their minds.

2. If the Israeli government didn’t think it had a major problem with eroding support among young Republicans, these paid influencer campaigns wouldn’t be happening.

3. “MAGA” is best understood as an Israeli influence operation. Ziopopulism harnesses rightwing grievances over issues like immigration and anti-White discrimination to get governments elected all over the world which cater to Israeli interests. This is also true in Europe and Latin America.

Time:

“The official began collecting screenshots, and came to believe it wasn’t a coincidence. Tracing tweets by prominent members of the online right, the official came to believe there was an unlikely figure at the center of all this criticism: Trump’s former presidential campaign manager and digital guru, Brad Parscale. …

While Parscale acknowledges that the operation was intended to prevent young conservatives from drifting away from Israel, he says neither he nor his firms played any role in turning opinion against Trump’s objectives. “I have never funded, organized, or participated in any effort to undermine President Trump—ever—including his MOU or ceasefire proposal,” Parscale tells TIME. “The claim that I am coordinating an effort to prolong the war is completely false. The only people manufacturing a conflict between President Trump, Israel, and me are anonymous officials using background quotes to make me the bogeyman.” …

It remains unclear how much Parscale’s outfits paid creators as part of the Israel campaign. Another recent Influenceable campaign offered influencers a base payment of $2,250, plus $1 for every 1,000 views, up to 2 million views—allowing influencers to earn as much as $4,250 per post, according to internal text messages reviewed by TIME. …”

It is refreshing to see this being covered in the media.

This would usually be dismissed as an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. Instead, Time has confirmed that MAGA elites are being paid to hire contractors to shill all day for Israel on the internet. The puppets were even activated to criticize the Trump administration to drag us back into the war with Iran.
