I can't confirm that. It's a sweeping claim about hidden control, and I don't know of evidence that Netanyahu controls Trump or that some group of "inverted totalitarians" controls Netanyahu.
Some parts have a real basis. Israel's government and pro-Israel lobbying groups do influence US policy, and the US-Israel relationship involves real leverage in both directions. Wolin's "inverted totalitarianism" is a legitimate concept: corporate and financial power shaping politics without a visible dictator. But Wolin described diffuse structural pressure on a political system, not a specific group that "owns" particular leaders. Turning that into a chain of command (A owns B, B owns C) goes beyond what the concept or the evidence supports.
Trump's Israel policy is also well explained by ordinary factors: evangelical and donor constituencies, his own preferences, advisers, and geopolitical calculations. These can be criticized without a puppet-master model, which usually fails because it can't account for the times leaders act against their supposed owners.
If you're working on a piece about this, I'm happy to help look at what's documented about donor influence, lobbying, or the Wolin framework, and where the evidence is strong versus speculative.

Multilingual thought is not translation. It is the refusal to let one language decide what is real.

"mass man": Ortega y Gasset was concerned about the rise of mass society and the impact it had on individualism.

"Knight argued that a free society survives on open discussion, not just bargaining. When insiders protect their rents, outsiders stop believing the game is fair. That's the common origin Araud points to. Washington and Moscow didn't build it, they just exploit it."

You kidding? The Democrats were chosen by Wall Street. Rand Paul lacks a brain.
This election is a choice between capitalism and socialism. Democrats offer more spending, more debt, and more government. Republicans offer liberty and a government that answers to you.
Kentucky knows which side it’s on. Get out and vote on November 3rd.

The final stage of decline is when the people who see clearly

Those of us who work with Ai are already fed up with the constant bias and closed mindedness worthy of their corporate owners.
