Max Blumenthal, Glenn Diesen: ‘Israel First’ in Iran War Sparks MAGA Civil War & the Grooming of Trump for Israel +++
by Glenn Diesen [4-11-2026].
(RAD: I'm admitting right up front that I have been fooled by Trump! I already knew this by 2025, yet listening to Max Blumenthal's analysis, it becomes even more obvious. Looking back to his campaign in 2020 when we lived in Albuquerque, I bought into his MAGA message & even got him to sign my red cap. At one of his campaigns he admitted that he was trying different 'sound bites' that resonated with supporters. He was definitely a slick salesman with a message that resonated with those of us fed up with big government overreach. Little did we understand at the time that his 'sales pitch' was a con job.
I've learned in recent years that Max Blumenthal is one of the few investigative reporters who actually digs deep & is willing to say what he finds. Listening to Max describe all of Trump's Israli connections in this discussion is really sickening. The Trump Family has effectively merged with the Israeli Foreign Ministry! Trump is effectively the first Israeli US President, since he now openly talks like Benjamin Netanyahu. Max goes into detail about who now supports Trump & how they are connected to Israel.
Israel will not allow Trump to end the Iran war. The cease fire is a hoax that is being killed by Israel.
MAGA is done. 'America First' is looking for another leader. The clock has run out on Israel. — RAD)
Max Blumenthal discusses why the consensus over the US-Israel partnership is unravelling as the intrusive influence of Israel is widely seen to undermine US interests. The disastrous Iran War has intensified the MAGA Civil War. Blumenthal is the editor-in-chief of The Grayzone, an award-winning journalist and the author of several books, including best-selling Republican Gomorrah, Goliath, The Fifty One Day War, and The Management of Savagery. He has produced print articles for an array of publications, many video reports, and several documentaries, including Killing Gaza.

Hello;
Hi I was associated with the feds for about 40 years, and know the religious mess as well. But remember that during Nixon the USA agreed to get rid of their 1179 neutron warheads; so, they sent them to Israel. And they probably still have them, and have no problem using them; this is even Biblical prophecy when it describes the melting of the humans. Israel will assume that they can use them and not destroy the infrastructure and there be no radiation problem in 72 hr.
Good Luck,
Ron Conner
For those not familiar with “neutron warheads”, here is a summary:
Neutron warheads, officially known as enhanced radiation weapons (ERWs), are specialized low-yield thermonuclear weapons designed to maximize lethal neutron radiation while minimizing blast, heat, and fallout. They were primarily developed for tactical use on battlefields, especially to disable enemy tank crews and infantry while preserving infrastructure and reducing long-term contamination.
Key characteristics and historical context:
* The radiation pulse from a neutron bomb can deliver a lethal dose within a radius of up to 1,000–2,000 meters, significantly exceeding its blast radius of a few hundred meters.
* The U.S. developed neutron warheads like the W70 Mod 3 for the Lance missile and W79 for artillery shells, with production starting in 1981 under President Reagan after a delay by President Carter in 1978.
* Although deployed briefly, all U.S. neutron warheads were dismantled by 1996, and no country is known to currently deploy them.
Controversy and status:
* Opponents argued that neutron bombs lowered the threshold for nuclear use due to their perceived “clean” nature, potentially escalating conflicts to full-scale nuclear war.
* France and the Soviet Union also tested or produced neutron warheads, but France abandoned production in 1986 under political pressure.
* While the U.S., Soviet Union, and China are believed to have developed such weapons, none are actively deployed today, though rumors persist about stockpiles in countries like China and Israel.
