Young voters support an arms embargo on Israel...

Editor's note: ...but what about the Federal Reserve? This article points out how a new generation of young conservatives has emerged who are "revitalizing the Old Right view that the focus of conservatism should be to conserve what is actually great about the United States." What they have left out is the "weaponized US dollar" and the Federal Reserve are not what made America great. It only made finance capitalism great and not for the American people but for a financial oligarchical ruling class. When the Federal Reserve is abolished and monetary control is placed back under the US Treasury financing Israel will be curtailed. This article appeared at the Ron Paul Institute website and it was Ron Paul himself calling for the Federal Reserve to be abolished. These young conservatives also need to understand the Income Tax Act in 1909 rejected the Founding Fathers' wisdom of no direct taxation (see Donald Trump Proposes Elimination of US Income Tax, Introduction of Tariffs). The central bank hired on hack writer Karl Marx's philosophy has undermined America, and "the DOJ uses income tax to threaten journalists to kill or spin stories that they want or else!

Turn the Federal Reserve's operations back over to the US Treasury

Pat Buchanan Was Right…And Young Conservatives Agree!

by Daniel McAdams | Nov 4, 2024

As we arrive at today's election, there is good news in the US conservative movement regardless of who wins. While the old guard – mostly "boomers" – who still cling to the levers of power continue to mouth the tired old shibboleths ("peace through strength," "rules based order," "our greatest ally"), a new generation of young conservatives has emerged that is revitalizing the Old Right view that the focus of conservatism should be to conserve what is actually great about the United States.

First and foremost is the idea, espoused by our first president George Washington, that the United States can only prosper if it is capable of jettisoning "passionate attachments" to any foreign country and embrace, as outlined by John Quincy Adams, the view that America…

…goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.

To this point, the focus in the mainstream media and among "boomer" and Beltway neocon Republicans has been that the opposition to US backstopping the Israeli destruction of Gaza is made up of radical, Marxist, Hamas-loving dupes. As I decry in my recent speech to the "Rage Against the War Machine" rally at the Washington Memorial in DC, there has been a notable absence among my fellow "pro-life" and right wing Americans to speak out against the snuffing out of perhaps 200,000 innocent civilian lives – many of them Christian – in Gaza and Lebanon.

I chalked some of that hesitation up to the fear of being labeled "anti-Jewish," while at the same time I pointed out that a significant proportion of the US university campus protests against the Israeli slaughter in Palestine and Lebanon are led by Jewish students. Likewise, Jewish intellectuals in the US constitute a significant and powerful voice against the policies of the Israeli government and in opposition to the US "special relationship" with that country.

Whatever the case, a younger generation on the Right is getting it. And they are threatening the establishment in ways that should warm all of our conservative hearts. Take for example a new poll by the progressive "Data for Progress" outlet. Among the usual fluff about progressive attitudes toward Kamala etc., a fascinating metric was reported:

In our survey of voters aged 18-29, we find that young voters support imposing an arms embargo on Israel by a +26-point margin.https://t.co/zHxVe4yW9i pic.twitter.com/fmrKiBizRV
