The Neocon Con: Part 1

It's Happening Right Now

Here is a question for the Trump voters. What did you hope to get by voting for him? I am guessing you wanted some or all of the things on this list.

  1. More parental rights and less School Board or State control over the classroom.
  2. The exclusive right of parents to make medical decisions for their children.
  3. Local control of police and holiday displays at City Hall.
  4. Bring back American manufacturing for America’s critical goods made by Americans.
  5. Return to one-day in-person voting except for exceptional cases.
  6. Enforce immigration laws and insist immigrants assimilate and learn English.
  7. Fumigate the Deep State.
  8. Fix our crumbling infrastructure.
  9. Cheaper gas through domestic sourcing.

That is a solid list. None of it is radical. All of it is common sense.

But what did we get?

At first, it looked like we were finally getting what we voted for. Then the Iran War sucked up all the oxygen. Political oxygen. Financial oxygen. Every dollar and every headline went overseas. Not only does the war drain the treasury and the President’s political capital, it makes our President dependent on the very agencies he promised to clean out. Winning a foreign war requires the intelligence agencies, the Pentagon bureaucracy, the State Department careerists. You cannot drain the swamp when you need the swamp creatures to help you win.

So here we are. Not getting the domestic agenda we voted for. Because of a war in Iran.

This is not new. It is a pattern.

Remember the second Bush administration? Republicans controlled the White House and both houses of Congress. Did we get school reform? Border security? A sane immigration policy? We got the Iraq War. Remember Saddam Hussein? The WMDs that did not exist? The neoconservatives had been waiting for a chance to remake the Middle East, and 9/11 gave them their opening. They sold it as a war for American safety, but it was a war for empire. Everything else got sacrificed. No Child Left Behind was a federal power grab. Immigration reform was amnesty talk. The border got worse. The national debt exploded. And the neocons got everything they wanted.

Now watch the Reagan administration. Same playbook. Reagan ran as a nationalist. Tear down the Berlin Wall. Make America strong again. Bring back patriotism. And he delivered on some of it. But the neocons were already embedded in his administration, and they had their own priorities. Lebanon. Nicaragua. Arming Saddam Hussein. The Iran-Contra affair. The war machine kept rolling while the domestic agenda got compromised. Tax cuts got paired with spending increases. The border was ignored. The manufacturing base kept bleeding out. The neocons did not care about Ohio factory workers. They cared about rolling back Soviet influence and opening new markets for their friends.

The pattern is always the same. A Republican gets elected on domestic grievances. The neocons hijack the administration for foreign adventures. The domestic agenda gets shelved. The voters get told to be patient because we are at war. The war never ends. And the next election cycle, the same voters are asked to choose between the lesser evil again.

The neocon con is simple. They do not care about your kids’ school. They do not care about your job. They do not care about your neighborhood. They care about the empire. They will use your vote to fund their wars and then blame you when it does not work.

You have been played before. You are being played again. The only question is whether you are going to keep falling for it.

The Pincer that Destroys the America First Domestic Agenda

The America First agenda stands for individual liberty, family sovereignty, and religious freedom in conformity with Biblical values. It is built on sovereign, culturally homogeneous nations minding their own business, with God managing the big picture. Unity comes from common obedience to God.

Globalism stands on government as God, with unity achieved by force of law and a single world government.

America First is the man who tends his own house and does not butt into his neighbor’s. Unless attacked, America First prefers to spend its resources on domestic needs rather than foreign wars. Globalists in America want America weakened and subject to an emerging global government.

Neocons pretend to be conservative by appealing to ideas like “defending democracy around the world.” But they are closet globalists. American intervention abroad drains the political and financial capital needed for domestic priorities like immigration enforcement, religious freedom, and parental rights. That is the neocon plan.

Time Correlation: Iran War and ICE Agenda Degradation

Let's see how the Iran War timeline correlates with ICE enforcement degradation: An example of how the neocon war denies us our domestic agenda.

Trump's nuclear talks with Iran come at a crossroads between a deal and all-out war, experts fear

Sat, Apr 12, 2025

The “crossroads” framing was not neutral journalism. It was the rhetorical preparation. By labeling the situation a “crossroads,” the media and political class conditioned the public to accept that a choice had to be made—and that doing nothing was not an option. Once the public accepted that framing, the “massive military build-up” (Ron Paul, Feb 2026) and the movement of Trump’s “armada into striking range” (Axios/Nawfal, Feb 2026) became the logical next step. The crossroads narrative created the permission structure for war.

The baseline period shows ICE was actively and aggressively enforcing immigration law at the operational level, even as it faced intense political, legal, and physical resistance. This is the “full throttle” state of enforcement that the Iran war diversion would later cannibalize.

The Escalation period is defined by the tension between public diplomatic theater (Istanbul talks) and the behind-the-scenes reality of a military force already in striking range. The “Will He, Won’t He?” question from Ron Paul perfectly captures the uncertainty that characterized this phase—the public was still debating intent while the assets were already in place.

The Escalation period represents the moment the legal and institutional framework supporting ICE enforcement began to crack under simultaneous pressure from the judiciary, the legal profession, organized civilian resistance, and internal attrition. The agency was not merely facing opposition—it was facing a coordinated legal assault from multiple directions while simultaneously losing the personnel needed to defend itself.

There are also some articles talking about the political cost to Republicans. But no one specifically addresses the obvious fact that if time, human energy, and money is spent on the Iran war, then that will be diverted from the Trump agenda that Trump voters voted for. And that's what the neocons do - they divert the conservative American spirit by conjuring the ethos of foreign threats. That's why we never get our America First domestic agenda - even when the candidate who ran on those promises wins the election.

What they say is: “The Iran war is hurting our electoral chances and overshadowing our messaging.”

In the entire public record of March 2026, no Republican official or strategist is recorded saying what should have been obvious: that the Iran war was squandering the governing majority they had just won. The closest anyone came was a pollster telling NBC News that ‘voters do not perceive a clear message or plan’—an indirect admission that the domestic agenda had been consumed by a war the party did not campaign on and the public did not want. The silence itself is the evidence.

🚨 IT’S OFFICIAL: A federal judge has RESTRICTED ICE's tear gas use against VlOLENT RIOTERS who held agents HOSTAGE

Tue, Mar 10, 2026

x.com

What it proves: ICE agents are being held hostage by rioters, and a judge has taken away their non-lethal defense options. They cannot enforce the law because they are legally prohibited from protecting themselves while doing it.

Article Domain The Collapse Evidence
Hennepin County Investigation Legal ICE is now the subject of criminal investigation, not the initiator
Tear Gas Ban Operational Agents cannot legally defend themselves against hostage-taking rioters
ICE vs. High Schoolers Social The agency has lost the consent of the governed
Maine Poll Ban Political States are actively expelling ICE from public functions

In March, ICE is under criminal investigation, legally forbidden from defending itself, fighting high schoolers, and banned from election sites. That is collapse.

So Let's Ask Again

What did you hope to get by voting for Trump? I am guessing you wanted some or all of the things on this list.

  1. More parental rights and less School Board or State control over the classroom.
  2. The exclusive right of parents to make medical decisions for their children.
  3. Local control of police and holiday displays at City Hall.
  4. Bring back American manufacturing for America’s critical goods made by Americans.
  5. Return to one-day in-person voting except for exceptional cases.
  6. Enforce immigration laws and insist immigrants assimilate and learn English.
  7. Fumigate the Deep State.
  8. Fix our crumbling infrastructure.
  9. Cheaper gas through domestic sourcing.

Does it seem to you that foreign wars has elbowed these things off the stage?

The Great Betrayal: Law and Order for Them, Chaos for You

The Uniparty pincer move is now laid bare: The Republican Neocons provide the moral and military cover to enforce "International Law," while the Democratic domestic-communists exploit that vacuum to dismantle "Domestic Law."

The Republican Neocon "Law & Order" (Middle East) The Democratic "Nullification" (At Home)
Washington plots to stabilize global energy markets, no matter the cost. Maine demands ICE agents be prohibited from regional enforcement.
Trump declares: "We're hitting them harder than anybody's been hit since WWII." Federal agents trapped in "chaotic standoffs" in Vermont.
Treasury Sec insists, "We are all in"—taxpayer money is bottomless for war. Protesters successfully block ICE from apprehending targets.
Trump released SPR oil (172 MM Gal). By June 15, 2026: The SPR plunged to its lowest level since 1983. Local Prosecutors probe and criminalize federal immigration agents.
The state projects supreme power to secure the Strait of Hormuz. The state loses the power to protect its own officers from assault.

The Reality Check:

Look closely at what our government considers 'Law and Order.'

For the Middle East, the Republican Neocons are absolute in their resolve. They will drain the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, mobilize fleets, and authorize billions in spending—all to enforce 'International Law' and project strength. They talk about 'security' and 'stability' with the ferocity of the Founding Fathers.

But look at the right column. That same government—that same taxpayer-funded apparatus—is nowhere to be found when the law is being shredded in Vermont, Maine, and Minneapolis.

They aren't 'weak' on the border. They are simply uninterested in your sovereignty. They have enough political capital to enforce the order of the world, but not enough to enforce the order of your home. You are paying for them to build an empire abroad, while they stand by and watch your civilization be looted at home. This is not an accident. This is the globalist plan pushed by both parties. A strong America is the number one obstacle to the New World Order of a tyrannical United Nations.

If you are a conservative, you are being played by both hands.

You see the Global War headlines. The media tells you it’s patriotic to support the military, to secure the oil flow, to stand tall in Iran. You cheer. You feel like we're finally 'doing something.'

In the small print of the local papers and the judicial dockets, your own country is being handed over to an insurgency. The Left—the domestic communists—watches the Iran news just as closely as you do. The energy prices spike, the White House paralyzed by a tanker crisis, and the DOJ attorneys leaving their posts. So the left sees their opportunity knowingly and willingly created by the neoconservatives.

Globalism’s Domestic Front

The left trades individual liberty for “civil liberty” (open borders, group rights) because globalism requires weak, porous nations. The left attacks ICE officers to destroy border enforcement. Open borders serve globalism. America First backs the agents. That is why they are targets

Globalism’s Foreign Front

The neocons bomb sovereign nations to break them down for globalism. It is not about bad actors. It is about destroying national sovereignty everywhere so no nation can stand in the way. In Iraq, the UN declared war, not Congress. Whose interests are being served?

The Pincer Against America First

The left attacks the AF domestic agenda. The neocon Republicans use foreign war to abandon it. Neither wants America First. The pincer kills it from both sides. It happens every time Republicans hold power. The Trotsky Neocons.

So what do you do?

Next time your attention is pulled to optional foreign wars, think or say:

"Iran war, huh? What about the border? What about the fentanyl? What about our crumbling bridges? What about the schools where my kids are being taught to hate their country? What about the DEI committees running our workplaces into the ground? What infrastructure could we fix at home with the $2 trillion spent on a war? I am an America First voter. What difference does it make if we win there and lose here? What difference does it make if the Strait of Hormuz is open and our own bridges are closed? What difference does it make if Iran is contained and our border is not?"

You do not need to be an expert. You just need to repeat the list. Every time you can.

Say it enough times and it becomes impossible to ignore. Do not forget the list.

That is how you break the con.
