America's republican ideals—decentralized government, community, family, independence—have been subverted since Puritan times by elite networks. WASPs (Cabots, Lowells, Roosevelts) built technocratic institutions to impose empire via wars and debt, peaking post-WWII. Control then shifted to Israel-loyal Jewish Zionists (Pritzkers, Kushners, Peretz, Steinhardt, Adelsons), who captured both parties and redirected policy to serve Israel: endless wars, aid, financialization, mass immigration, identity division. Using the Frank Capra movie Arsenic and Old Lace as metaphor, the essay calls for rejecting this WASP-to-Zionist legacy to restore sovereignty.

The second Trump administration marks the definitive endpoint of a long-evident zionization of the United States. By zionization, I mean the process by which U.S. governmental institutions, from the executive branch to Congress to state and local governments, systematically prioritize the security, territorial ambitions, and narrative control of Israel and its Jewish supporters over American constitutional principles, fiscal accountability, and national sovereignty. Emblematically, Israel recently rolled out the slogan for its parasitic domination of the United States: “Fifty States, One Israel.”
