Zionist Elites Are Using Big Government to Turn Finance into ‘Philanthropy’

by Matt Wolfson | Nov 24, 2025 | Economics, Featured Articles

In the past few months, I have reported for the Libertarian Institute on powerful American Jewish Zionists’ campaigns to unseat a sitting Republican congressman; to silence non-violent university protests against Israel’s genocide in Gaza; to blunt MAGA’s criticisms of not just Israel but of empire; to use America’s education system to mold a new elite in their image; to create a crony corporatist mecca and military surveillance colony out of New York City; and to gain influence on media and university networks in America and Britain. The brazenness of their efforts is the most remarkable...

Zionist Billionaire Larry Ellison is Colonizing the Corridors of Power

by Matt Wolfson | Nov 12, 2025 | Featured Articles

When American newspapers framed President Donald Trump’s September visit to Great Britain as the latest symbolic exchange between a dominant empire and a faded one, they followed the approach generally desired by these exchanges’ operators and missed the bigger empire-building project at play. This new imperial project is hiding in plain sight. It encompasses America’s and Britain’s military, corporate, media, and education complexes—currently collaborating in a major “reinvention” of the Middle East via force, displacement, commerce, and propaganda. Its most influential player locates his...

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch is Turning New York City into a Surveillance Colony

by Matt Wolfson | Oct 29, 2025 | Featured Articles, Politics

In a recent report for the Libertarian Institute, I investigated Zionists’ role in creating the crisis point at which New York City now finds itself: caught between a colonial elite which has commandeered government and a progressive-socialist backlash to that elite which proposes to expand government. In this report, I will trace how, in response to the progressive-socialist threat to their power, Zionists and their allies are expanding government in new and frightening directions. The leading player in this operation, like in all good intelligence ops, is not a colorful or charismatic...

How Zionist Influence in New York Gave Rise to Zohran Mamdani

by Matt Wolfson | Oct 14, 2025 | Featured Articles, Politics

Coverage of Zohran Mamdani’s run for New York City mayor is focused on the outsized politics at play in the race: democratic socialism, Islam, state-owned grocers, former Governor Andrew Cuomo, until recently incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, and President Donald Trump. But this risks missing the real story in New York, which is the decades-long creation and maintenance of a financialized, factionalized city of free market distortions and middle class displacement at the hands of powerful Zionists and their allies that led to backlash and Mamdani’s rise. Rewinding Mamdani’s catapault to politcal...

How Zionists Hijacked MAGA

by Matt Wolfson | Sep 24, 2025 | Featured Articles, Foreign Policy, Politics

On the Wednesday of the last week of July, a former Florida State University employee approached a man wearing an Israeli Defense Force (IDF) shirt on campus and began berating him for his support of a state she believed was committing genocide. By the next day, she was arrested, on the basis of the person wearing the IDF t-shirt alleging (with video support) that she gave him “maybe just a push” on the shoulder and also alleging (without any support) that she “definitely just hate-crimed” him. The attorney general of the United States, Pam Bondi, who directs the Department of Justice, had...

Billionaire Bill Ackman’s Plan to ‘Educate’ America’s Next Elite

by Matt Wolfson | Sep 18, 2025 | Featured Articles, Foreign Policy, Politics

Empires, unlike revolutions, don’t have heralds; they work off quiet aggrandizements of power, not bold declarations of freedom. But America’s imperial class appears to have a member who’s missed that memo: the Zionist hedge fund manager William Ackman, a self-selected Patrick Henry of an elite that cannot want one. For the last few years, as his allies have quietly worked to curtail popular politics, Ackman has become a reliable articulator at any given moment of just what game they are actually playing. In 2023 and 2024, as his allies subtly tried to float alternatives to conservative...

American Students and Professors Are Collateral Victims of Zionism

by Matt Wolfson | Aug 26, 2025 | Featured Articles

On May 17, Cecilia Culver, a George Washington University double major in economics and statistics and the recipient of GW’s Columbian College of Arts and Sciences (CCAS) Distinguished Scholar Award, came to the stage of GW’s Lisner Auditorium to deliver a commencement address. Culver, whose CV is in no way political (her college activities included Epsilon Sigma Alpha and the Association for Women in Mathematics; her recent summer internships were at Ernst & Young and the Federal Reserve Board) used her speech to address what she said was her university’s complicity in Israel’s attacks...

Who’s Funding the Attacks on Thomas Massie—and What Networks are Backing Them?

by Matt Wolfson | Aug 11, 2025 | Featured Articles, Foreign Policy, Politics

In the past decade of political upheaval, less than a handful of successful candidates have laid down direct challenges to America’s military-industrial complex. Thomas Massie, the U.S. Congressman from Kentucky’s 4th District, is first and foremost among them. In June, President Donald Trump announced an open season on Massie, for the perceived crimes of having voted against the deficit-busting “Big Beautiful Bill” and opposing Trump’s strikes on Iran because they occurred without authorization from Congress. “Open season” in this case meant the formation of a MAGA Pac run by Trump’s former...
