The United States and Israel Need Regime Change, not Iran

An American perspective on Trump and Israel's war on Iran and the need for a new American aristocracy

First and foremost, I know that I would be killed or imprisoned in practically any other country besides America for writing an article with this title during a time of war. In Israel, in Iran, practically anywhere, but that is what is best for the rest of the world. Freedom of speech should be seen as more of an American tradition, rather than a universal right that every country needs to have, and it is a tradition that needs to be preserved here in America. There is immense privilege that comes with living in America, especially with the freedom of speech that allows you to voice dissent towards your government even during times of war. With such privilege, of course, comes great responsibility, and so calling for regime change in America is not something that should be done lightly.

American exceptionalism is real. We are an exceptional nation, built by exceptional people, and so the only situation where anyone should call for regime change in the United States is one where the current ruling regime is not American, but rather a foreign regime. With America currently being dragged into yet another foreign war, it is obvious we are losing our sovereignty as a nation, and regime change is necessary for us to reclaim our sovereignty before it is too late.

Israel launched Operation Rising Lion just over a week ago on Friday, June 13th. The phrase “Rising Lion” is a reference to the lion on the Iranian flag prior to Iran’s unique theocratic republican revolution in 1979, when Iran was under the rule of the Pahlavi monarchy. It has been made clear by the Israelis that their goal is regime change in Iran. This past weekend on Saturday, June 21st, the United States carried out strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in Netanz, Esfahan, and Fordow. On Sunday the 22nd, Donald Trump argued for regime change by saying that “if the current Iranian regime is unable to MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN, why wouldn’t there be a regime change??? MIGA!!!” Yesterday, the Iranians carried out a limited, arguably symbolic, missile attack on multiple US bases in the Middle East region which resulted in no casualties, and Trump shortly after announced that there would be a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, which was supposed to begin at midnight just a few hours before this was published but both sides are already claiming the other violated the ceasefire and threatening that war will continue.

Quite the strange timeline of events. Regardless of whether there is an “official” ceasefire between Israel and Iran or not, the Zionist war on Iran is far from over, and the United States is even further from being out of it. Israel is clear that their goal is regime change in Iran, and their intelligence war on Iran, funded by the taxpayers of the United States, will never stop until that happens. Additionally, even if an “official” ceasefire between Iran and Israel were to happen, there would be no reason to think it would be different from the numerous ceasefires brokered between Hamas and Israel in Gaza or Hezbollah and Israel in Lebanon over the past 3 years (ceasefires which the Israelis broke over 300 times in Lebanon and over 900 times in Gaza). Israel will break any ceasefire that occurs between itself and Iran, and we will be back to where we started. They likely already have.

What we are seeing unfolding here is the warming up of the American people to a new phase of the “War on Terror,” not an end to it. New wars in the Middle East are very unpopular among Americans, so what the United States is able to do to trick the American people and keep the Israelis happy, is enter the war with Iran, then exit, then enter a bit more forcefully, then exit, and repeat this pattern, gradually climbing the escalation ladder until the goal of regime change in Iran has been reached.

If regime change were to occur and the Islamic Republic of Iran were to fall, the country would face one of the biggest civil wars in human history. Civil war in Iraq would also likely break out, given that Iran runs some of the largest security forces responsible for maintaining the security apparatus in Iraq. The refugee crises that will unfold from regime change in Iran will make the disastrous refugee crises of the Syrian Civil War look like a blessing. More mass migration will occur from such an event than any other in human history, and MAGA influencers have been incredibly ignorant of this fact. Indeed, it is the United States and Israel that are in need of regime change, not Iran.

Let me be very clear about what I mean by regime change in the American and Israeli contexts. I do not want to see a violent revolution and overthrow of the American system, but rather for a new aristocracy to emerge and replace the disastrous one we have had for decades, arguably since the founding of the state of Israel. After allowing Israel to drag our country into this war with Iran, Donald Trump must make revolutionary adjustments to his policies or leave with the rest of the regime that rules America, which is made up of the media, the multinational financial institutions, the defense and intelligence apparatuses, and the corporate and foreign lobbying organizations. Israel has infiltrated each of these elements of the regime on the highest levels, and unfortunately Jewish overrepresentation among these groups is a major reason for this. Yes, there is a problem in America of Jewish elite having greater loyalty to Israel than to the United States.

Israelis like Miriam Adelson and traitorous American Zionists, alongside the Israel lobby, paid Donald Trump $230 million during his 2024 campaign for the presidency. They paid for Trump to defend Israel after it does stupid things like attack Iran, a country 10 times their size, while the United States is in the middle of negotiations with Iran for peace in the Middle East (which was easy to predict). They paid for Donald Trump to allow Israel to drag him into war with Iran, and regime change in Iran has been the plan the entire time. America can’t be dragged into war with Iran at the same speed as we were dragged into war with Iraq, as the public backlash would be far too great, but we have been dragged into this war, and this “ceasefire” that Trump announced will be one of many to happen to convince MAGA that Trump is not a slave to Israel (rather than a king as the “No Kings” protests from the other weekend argued).

It is important to note how MAGA influencers, since Trump was elected, said that Trump was going to bring peace to the Middle East through his negotiations with Iran, then after Israel sabotaged the nuclear negotiations between the United States and Israel (which Trump knew they would do ahead of time and still could not or would not restrain from happening), the MAGA influencers said that America should only support Israel defensively, not offensively, then after Trump decided to engage Iran offensively, the MAGA influencers said that it is “limited,” it is not a “regime change war,” then after Trump implied that regime change would be good for Iran, the MAGA influencers said that if the Iranian people want regime change, there should be regime change. Now that Trump has announced a ceasefire, the MAGA influencers are telling us that they were right and we should have never doubted President Trump. If by some miracle Trump is able to restrain the Israelis and make the ceasefire between Iran and Israel permanent, it is the American people who criticized Israel’s influence over the United States and placed pressure on the government to keep America out of war who deserve the credit, and MAGA influencers like Charlie Kirk and Ben Shapiro still need to be put on trial for treason.

Regime change in America does not mean calling for the impeachment of Donald Trump, despite his betrayal of the American people with his bombing of Iran over this past weekend. An impeached Trump would result in America falling right into the hands of JD Vance, the protege of Mossad and CIA-backed Palantir founder Peter Thiel (whose technology is used by the IAEA and provided false data to encourage a war with Iran). What is necessary for America is a complete cultural and economic overhaul of the non-American systems and networks that exist in America. If Donald Trump cannot expel the foreign influence that exists in the United States, then he is a part of it. If he is a part of it, then he is not an American, but a traitor. If Trump cannot restrain Israel, which he has not ever proven himself capable of doing, the United States will be dragged in and out of war with Iran perpetually by Israel until regime change is achieved. This is still another "forever war."

When it comes to Israel, I used to have a deep hatred of the country and its people because of what I saw them do to my family and my friends when I lived in Jerusalem. This is wrong. We must not be like our enemies, but come to love them. We should not hate the Israelis or the Zionists (or hate anyone for that matter), but still maintain that they are the enemies of our country America’s national interests, not Iran. Jesus Christ taught us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, and the world needs to be reminded of that right now. We are not called to believe in the Israeli form of regime change for America or for Israel, the kind of regime change which will cause mass destruction and humanitarian crises, either. Israel, however, cannot continue to exist as a Jewish state. Jewish people should be allowed to live there, as they are originally from the region, but statehood is a privilege, not a right, and as a Jewish state, Israel has abused the privileges of its statehood time and time again.

We also need a new aristocracy in America. Yes, America has an aristocracy and will always have an aristocracy. It used to be predominantly American and Christian, but now the dominant faction of the American aristocracy is the Israeli and Jewish faction. This is proven by the fact that virtually every member of the American ruling elite, whether Jewish or not, is a Jewish nationalist or “Zionist.” Zionism, by definition, is Jewish nationalism, and so it should not be controversial to say that if you must be a Jewish nationalist to be a part of the ruling class of America, that means that it is Jewish capitalists that are the dominant faction of the American capitalist class. This does not mean Jewish people run every aspect of American society and that the entire ruling class is Jewish, or even the majority for that matter, but the dominant plurality certainly is.

The next American aristocracy must collapse the horseshoe between the dissident left and the dissident right. If JD Vance is to be next in line for the presidency from the Republican Party, the Democratic Party will have to lead the charge for this new aristocracy. As unlikely as it is that we get such a leader from the Democratic Party, for a Democrat to be successful against the Israeli and Silicon Valley-occupied MAGA movement they will need the political instinct to call for policies such as immigration restrictionism to protect the wages of the working class and for America to be anti-Zionist and anti-imperialist towards to the Global South as a whole, so that the Global South can have the stability it needs to encourage immigrants in the West to remigrate to their native homelands. Palestinians have been begging for the world to force Israel to allow them to have the right of return to their homeland since 1948, and it is time they are given that right. We also need a leader who knows America must be imperialist when it comes to Canada, which still exists under the British Crown and needs to be liberated and annexed so that the Revolution of 1776 can be complete. After all, we are Americans, we can’t totally get rid of our conquering spirit.

The next American aristocracy might not be as Christian as the Christian nationalists want, but it will have to be more Christian than it is right now. Perhaps Christian federalism is the answer rather than Christian nationalism, whereby individual states would be allowed to institute religious policies if they so choose. Perhaps reparations must be given to Foundational Black Americans as well, not in the form of money, but in the form of housing that creates creates pathways for voluntary ethnic separatism to ease the ethnic tensions that have been created through Civil Rights Era integrationist policies. The “woke” understanding that racial and ethnic differences exist does not need to be abandoned, it merely needs to evolve to include White and Christian Americans, become appreciative of the genetic biodiversity of all ethnicities and acknowledge that racism is not something that can be eliminated, but rather something to be managed via the creation of pathways for voluntary ethnic separatism. These are just a few of the horseshoe theory collapsing policies the next leader of the new American aristocracy can adopt.

During the American Revolutionary War, the Continental Army received crucial support from several key allies, including France, Spain, and the Netherlands. Where are these Qatari and Saudi Arabian and Iranian networks we hear so much about when America needs them as we get dragged into yet another war by Israel? As long as they are willing to respect the sovereignty of the United States, Americans should be open to allying with these countries. The Reformist political faction of Iran, which has been in power since the election of President Masoud Pezeshkian in the summer of 2024, has demonstrated that they are willing to negotiate for peace in the Middle East in good faith, while the Israelis have been the saboteurs to peace. But, as Iran has demonstrated with their attacks on Israel over the past week, their kindness should not be mistaken for weakness. Iran's use of force only after all other avenues have been exhausted and which causes minimal casualties is admirable, and shows what it looks like for a country to actually only target military and economic infrastructure instead of civilian infrastructure.

During the Biden administration, a return to the JCPOA and US/Iranian diplomacy would not have been as big of a blow to Israel (and possibly could have been to Israel's benefit) as a return to the JCPOA would be under a Trump administration, because that is the deal Trump ripped up, and so if he were to return to it would mean the United States is making concessions to Iran, not Israel. This form of Iran, that is restrained, is palatable for the information warfare for the hearts and minds of the American people. This is why Pezeshkian, from Iran's reformist political camp, was the perfect leader to have been elected president of Iran last summer.

The Zionists in America and Israel have been pushing this idea for a while, but a lot more heavily this past year, that Qatar and Saudi Arabia and Iran are the real threats to American sovereignty, and that there are these crazy Qatari and Saudi and Iranian networks throughout the United States, in academia, in media, in activism, in finance, and in politics. Immediately after the United States bombed Iran this past weekend, dozens of MAGA influencers warned of Iranian sleeper cells being activated in the United States. These traitors are trying to pave the way for Israel to stage a false flag attack on the United States, much like the Israelis did with the USS Liberty, so that our country can be dragged back into a war with Iran. Besides the fake sleeper cells, Americans could use whatever support we can get right now against these people occupying our country.

Iran, I want to thank you for letting my country know about your attack on our bases in the Middle East ahead of time so that we didn’t lose any of our countrymen, and for being a driving force for this ceasefire and for peace in the Middle East as a whole. Israel will most likely break this ceasefire, if they haven’t already, and we will not hold it against you for striking back when they do. Additionally, feel free to use diplomacy and information warfare to help Americans succeed in regime change in the United States as well, because these people are also occupying America, not just Palestine. Maybe only negotiate with Trump publicly, and offer him the deal of the century. You can tell him: “Trump, you can be the president you promised your country you would be. A president who puts America First, not Israel. Drain the Zionist swamp and Israeli influence from America, liberate your country, and restore its sovereignty.” While it is unlikely to actually succeed in changing Trump, something like this can still help us Americans change the hearts and minds of our fellow citizens who have not yet woken up to the foreign occupation of our country.

America needs help. Yes, we should be skeptical of any that is offered, but let’s not be afraid to ask for it.
