Multiple voices have recently been planted to completely discredit influencers who attack Zionists by backing completely ridiculous conspiracy theories that even most far-right activists disavow.
On March 16, 2026, Joe Kent, a former CIA agent, told President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles that he was going to resign from his position as director of the National Counterterrorism Center as a result of Trump's decision to start a conflict with Iran. This came months after he had already alarmed the FBI with the news that he had somehow obtained access to their files on the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Kent immediately leaned heavily into wild conspiracy theories boosted by figures such as Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens. He even made an appearance on Carlson's show immediately following his resignation, where he claimed that both the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the attempt on President Trump's life in Butler, Pennsylvania, somehow made Trump feel like he was under threat from foreign powers such as Iran, despite both shootings being carried out by mentally ill, ugly, liberal freaks.
The rest of Kent's talk with Carlson mostly consisted of topics that any normal person would already know before Kent resigned: that Israel held control over events that occurred in America, that Israel influenced America's eventual conflict with Iran, and that Israel needed to stay out of American politics. Kent added nothing valuable to the discussion, and he also adopted a mild version of the views of Candace Owens, which essentially are composed of wild rumors that Charlie Kirk was assassinated by the Jewish people, whom Kirk heavily supported, that his wife Erika was actually a boy, and all that good stuff.
By adopting a calmer version of Owens' beliefs, he has joined the effort to discredit the America First movement led by influencer Nick Fuentes, who has recently skyrocketed in popularity amongst young people.
This isn't the first time that Kent has opposed Fuentes. Back in 2021, Fuentes had a call with Kent, during which they discussed working together to help him win a seat in Congress while he was running in Washington's 3rd congressional district against both Republican incumbent Jaime Herrera Beutler and Democratic nominee Marie Gluesenkamp Perez. Kent had previously defended Nick when he was banned from Twitter in April of that year. However, after Fuentes publicly endorsed Kent in March 2022, Kent openly disavowed him, saying he wanted nothing to do with him because of his rhetoric against "our ally" Israel.
This led Fuentes to dig deeper into his past and attack him over his ties to Peter Thiel, who had donated to Kent's campaign in July 2021. Fuentes also disavowed Kent himself and campaigned against him successfully, as Kent ultimately lost to Perez.
With Thiel's support in mind, it should be noted that Kent conveniently resigned from his position in Trump's second administration around the same time that JD Vance began to distance himself from Trump's decisions regarding the Iran war. Vance is notably a longtime protege of Peter Thiel's and was a Never-Trumper before he was groomed to infiltrate pro-Trump circles in 2022, around the same time that Thiel donated to Joe Kent. It is most likely that by attaching themselves to voters against the Iran conflict, both Kent and Vance expect to gain support from more radical Republican voices.
Of course, people such as Nick Fuentes have seen right through Kent's nonsense, as they have for over four years, and they immediately attacked Kent for joining Tucker Carlson in refusing to directly name the Jews.
Kent isn't the only person who has decided to hop on the anti-America First train. Another voice that has recently come out against Nick Fuentes is John Kiriakou. Kiriakou is a former CIA agent who faced being put behind bars for 45 years due to leaking classified information, therefore violating the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, though he ultimately got just 2.5 years behind bars. Who would've thought that leaking supposed classified information just gives you about as much time behind bars as it takes to earn an associate's degree in college?
On top of basically being given a pat on the back by the government, Kiriakou has recently gone viral on social media. Most notably, he was noticed by millions of TikTok users after the app was purchased by pro-Israel company Oracle, which was founded by Larry Ellison and a few other associates in 1977. For some reason, a great deal of low-IQ right-wing voters have chosen to believe that Kiriakou is a hilarious, humble guy who loves his country.
The reality is that Kiriakou is boosted by Russia just as much as he is boosted by Israel. He is primarily involved with Russia through his open association with the Russian state-funded Sputnik News network. In the past, Kiriakou hosted both Loud & Clear and Political Misfits on Sputnik. Kiriakou has also appeared on Russia Today (RT), another state-funded network in Russia, for about 13 years. Notably, he recently appeared on RT's own America First show, seemingly a ripoff of Nick Fuentes' podcast, where his sudden fame on TikTok was discussed. Essentially, Kiriakou was glazed the entire time, and no valuable discussion occurred.
As you might imagine, Kiriakou, despite his endorsement of Carlson-esque views and his endorsement of figures such as Floridian gubernatorial candidate James Fishback, is also staunchly anti-Fuentes. Kiriakou has, in the past, described Fuentes as no more than a dumb, loudmouthed kid and has, just like pro-MAGA influencers such as Elon Musk, attributed his rise to fame to online bots and digital manipulation. Kiriakou has also stated that he would absolutely never platform Fuentes.
Both Kent and Kiriakou are nothing more than the latest attempt to discredit Fuentes as a whole. Candace Owens, the first person to try to make Fuentes' followers look stupid by spouting nonsense of her own that seemed vaguely similar to regular far-right rhetoric, went completely insane and began screaming about odd transgender stuff, but Tucker Carlson has been more successful in his attempt to draw in low-IQ morons. As a result, it only makes sense that Kent, who is a close friend of Carlson, and Kiriakou, who did an interview with Tucker Carlson and leans towards pro-Russia influencers similar to him, would be placed into the situations they're in.
It should be far more obvious to people that the two men have no real interest in anti-Israeli activism, at least not any activism that truly benefits America.
It should also be brought to attention that Kent and Kiriakou were directly involved with the CIA, Kent as a paramilitary officer and Kiriakou as a Middle East analyst, counterterrorism operations officer, and head of counterterrorism in Greece. Is it not weird that these two are suddenly trying to infiltrate Fuentes' spaces after trashing on him for so long? Why have both of these men had interviews with Tucker Carlson, who has also been connected to the CIA through his father? Is there a single person who has appeared in an attempt to destroy America First that isn't tied to the American intelligence agencies, to severely pro-Israel spaces, or to Israel itself? How do we know that Kent and Kiriakou aren't sheep-dippers pretending to be cut off from the CIA and the American government as a whole to push anti-America First agendas?
