“The God of Israel is a God of the Desert. If you want to speak to Him, you’ll have to go to the Desert.” — John the Baptist, as played by Andre Gregory in Martin Scorsese’s ‘The Last Temptation of Christ,’ the line of dialogue which inspired the name of this company and my move to to the Mojave in San Bernardino County.
Dear Lucas Gage,
You’ll have to forgive me that I don’t roll out a red carpet to welcome you into this small online community of voices speaking out to oppose the rise of global antisemitism.
The best I can do is extend you the same invitation offered to all fellow Substackers: come for a visit to Yucca Valley and I’ll introduce you to the best weed I’ve ever encountered, courtesy of the 29 Palms Band of Mission Indians’ vertically-integrated dispensary, Red Falcon.
Right now I’m rocking this Golden Honeycrisp which is an Indica-leaning hybrid clocking in at 30.97% THC. This does the job well, but I would rather have had my usual Horchata (a perfectly-balanced, mood-stabilizing hybrid that’s served as my standard all year) or their recent Aloha Haza, which totally has that Maui-Wowie upbeat, tropical Sativa energy. However, they were all out when I arrived. I really hope at some point soon they get a new crop in of Sweet Moo, that was the most incredible Indica ever and I’m usually more on the Sativa side. Smoking it was like wading through a soft, milky cream.
The 10 Biggest Mistakes People Make When They Start Smoking Weed
Last month, in my satirical article “How I Persuaded Sam Altman to Shut Down Sora and Resign from OpenAI,” I opened by making some points meant entirely sincerely:
I dwell on my epic cannabis consumption to emphasize that’s one of the ways that I‘ve managed to cope with all the violent trauma which I’ve experienced through my life, both the multiple traumatizing episodes of violence inflicted on me personally since childhood, and the violence which I’ve taken in through the “vicarious trauma” since making the mistake of spending so many hours researching and writing articles about violence. When I can get just the right balance of THC — not too much, not too little, and just the right strain — then I can manage to function enough to churn out articles and investigations into your Jew-hating ex-friends.
Perhaps you might want to consider a similar regimen.
How long has it been since you’ve seen “The Big Lebowski?”
Or do neo-Nazis refuse to watch Coen brothers movies since they’re also part of the Jewish conspiracy theory to ruin the lives of all patriotic, red-blooded, Christian American white men?
Blaze the weed up (blaze it up) and give Lebowski another watch. And then another. And then another. It takes Coen brothers movies at least three or four viewings before they really start to unfold for you, but the THC helps a lot.
Lebowski isn’t just a movie for me like when it came out in 1998, it’s a map of Southern California — just about every character in the movie I’ve met a real life version of — and a way of approaching life.
The “Lebowski lifestyle” doesn’t just entail smoking a lot of weed, it then requires seeing the world through the lens which the weed provides, which amounts to: seeing through other people’s bullshit.
In the movie, most of the characters are not who they really appear. They’ve just created a public persona which they then expect everyone to embrace as real instead of mere public performance. But The Dude comes to see through the other characters’ deceptions. The weed helps in this.
He calls bullshit on The Big Lebowski, the phony millionaire who gives the movie its title.
And I call bullshit on the bullshit salesmen regardless of which flavor they’re offering:
I hate lies and bullshit, Lucas. I got too overdosed on it last fall when people responded to my wife Sally’s 9th miscarriage, which was our 7th, and now final (we’re done trying now.) So now I just cannot stand it. No more bullshit. No more lies. You were at war with the Jews. I’ve declared the War on Bullshit.
I hated what you promoted when you were an antisemite, and I will hate what you say in the future far more if it turns out that this is all bullshit.
As you can see in my notes, I am an advocate of the teachings of Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa (28 October 1928 – 14 February 2021), who served as the spymaster for Romania’s communist dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu before defecting to the West, making him the highest ranking defector from the Soviet bloc, and thus a singular, unique source, who we all rightfully acknowledge, cannot be wholly verified like many other Soviet defectors can. He admits in the books that many of the documents he references were ones so secret that they only existed in his own handwriting. I don’t argue that everyone needs to agree with everything Pacepa wrote in Red Horizons, Programmed to Kill, Disinformation, and Operation Dragon — I’ve struggled a lot with them to decide how much of his version of history to really embrace when he’s the only source for a claim. It’s an open question.
More important than the individual details we may never be able to confirm, is the broader method of understanding how espionage and disinformation work. Pacepa exposed the methods by which the KGB planted disinformation for generations, and those principles still apply today not just for Russia, but for everyone. The same techniques the KGB used to culturally fuck America, Europe, and the Middle East, any group or individual can use, adapating to their own circumstances whether it’s a political movement or just causing havoc in one’s workplace, church, or family.
One of the absolute most effective techniques which the KGB regularly used to spread disinformation was this:
FAKE DEFECTORS
Perhaps you can see where I’m going with this already?
The KGB regularly would send over agents to defect to the West and then tell the CIA and MI6 total bullshit to confuse them. Today people still debate over whether particular Soviet defectors — particularly Yuri Nosenko (October 30, 1927 – August 23, 2008) but there are others — were genuine or not.
Lucas, based on what I’ve seen so far, I get the sense that there is a very strong possibility you are just pretending to be an ex-Nazi. You are smart enough to realize that infiltrating the Zionist movement by posing as an ex-Nazi would be a very effective way to uncover internal strategy and to broadly do damage, certainly much more so than just doing the usual social media insults.
Your explanation for why you have chosen to denounce antisemitism does not yet pass the smell test with me at all. I smell bullshit.
As noted in the screenshots above of your article at my buddy Joshua Hoffman’s Future of Jewish Substack, you blaming us Zionists for refusing to separate anti-Zionism from antisemitism as a reason for why you did not abandon hate sooner, does not come off well at all.
You should be on a genuine apology tour and that isn’t it at all. Now it is not at all appropriate for you to be lecturing anyone about how we Zionists should be acting nicer to antisemites and maybe if we do then they’ll stop being irrational haters.
Now that we are both contributors to the same publication — Substack’s biggest and most influential Jewish newsletter — perhaps you should see my previous pieces for them:
I’ll make this simple for you, Lucas. You want to prove you’re genuine? Here’s how.
Talk is cheap. Actions are expensive.
You doing the rounds of the conservative and pro-Israel podcasts performing the ex-Nazi persona is one thing.
You doing actual, concrete actions to aid in the bankrupting and/or incarceration of the world’s most dangerous antisemites would prove a whole lot more that you are actually serious here.
Don’t just talk. Put your boots on and walk. And walk all over your old friends. It’s time for action.
What might that be you, ask?
I spelled it out very fucking clearly in my previous article in this series, published at my pal Melissa Brodsky’s The Lioness Writes Substack:
The way to defeat Candace is not in the arenas of fame, media, and entertainment where her pretty face and “It factor” charisma can save her.
Just as she sees Alex Jones as a model to make her money, those who care about defeating her can likewise see his downfall as the model.
Want to defeat Candace? You do it in court, both civil and criminal. French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte figured that out when they filed a defamation suit against Candace in July of last year. Brian Harpole, Charlie’s security chief, figured it out when he also filed a defamation lawsuit against Candace on April 28, 2026.
Yes, criminal. What crime? Start investigating — I’m sure that Muslim-hating bigot Laura Loomer has already started digging deep — and we’ll soon find a bunch.
When you smell neo-Nazi smoke, then there’s probably a neo-Nazi fire burning nearby. And a fire needs to be stopped before it burns down the whole neighborhood.
Candace is a historical arsonist. She has set fire to Charlie Kirk’s memory and subverted his death into a platform of self-aggrandizement and financial enrichment for herself.
It’s time for as many wealthy people to do to her the same thing that Peter Thiel and Hulk Hogan did to Gawker. Every possible lawsuit against Candace should be bankrolled, and further investigative assets should be deployed to uncover any potential criminality to refer to law enforcement for further investigations, prosecution, and finally, long-term incarceration.
This is really all about money for Candace, so the people she is harming with her defamations should really make it all about money for her.
Candace needs to learn the hard way — and be made an example of to all — that defaming people for fun and profit is not a legitimate business model.
Two lawsuits is a good start. Who’s excited to jump in to fund the next dozen?
Lucas, the real war against antisemitism that matters most is waged in the courtroom — both civil and criminal — not on social media.
If you are really genuine and serious in having renounced antisemitism and now want to make an actual difference, then don’t just go on podcasts and publish Substack essays. That’s not enough.
Lawfare and investigative journalism (which finds the facts to then call in law enforcement) are the effective tools to fight antisemitism.
The only practical way I see to defeat the world’s Jew-haters is through taking away their money and — if the evidence uncovered reveals criminality — then their freedom.
Understand: the end goal here is not to merely bombard Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes with angry blog posts and vitriolic podcast episodes. (And the idea of trying to persuade them to stop through reasoned argument is absurdly naive.)
The end goal is to see them bankrupt, delegitimzed, and/or living in a cage on a thin, hard mattress. And that would have been your fate too if you had ever risen to their heights. The Gawker treatment. The Alex Jones treatment. The Nuremberg in November 1945 treatment. If people want to cosplay as Nazis then we’ll fucking treat them like Nazis.
So if you are truly on our side now, then that’s what we need to see from you — actual action which stops antisemitic propaganda from going out to billions of people.
Because, Lucas, I’m damn straight with you as I am with fucking everyone: my analysis for years now is that the side you’ve just allegedly left has already won the war.
See my post here from July to see why, it’s about a topic near and dear to your heart:
These are the numbers that matter:
The young people are more antisemitic than the old. More of the Gen-Zers (and soon the Gen-Alphas too) have embraced either the far-left socialist antisemitism or the far-right fascist antisemitism. A big piece of the reason for this lies in the stories you’ve no doubt seen about young people’s declining test scores, plummeting reading rates, collapsing mental health, and its source, the smartphone addiction which warped their brains.
Because the young people are so dumb, they are much more likely to fall for the dumb shit which you claim to have stopped believing. More and more of them lack the ability to even read. Students now show up at Ivy League colleges never having read a whole book. Professors now have to assign excerpts rather than whole books. Whole classes are turning in LLM-generated papers.
These Idiocracy-trends are just going to accelerate. The young people will get dumber and the percentage of those embracing antisemitism will increase.
And there is a ticking time bomb here too: the AI bubble. When it pops and collapses the global economy, you know damn well what will happen to the number of antisemitic hate crimes. When we go into a recession or even an actual depression then people will need their scapegoats to blame. Which ones do you think they’re going to blame then?
Do you see any sort of real solution to this at a systemic level?
I sure as hell don’t and I’ve spent years now obsessing over it full-time.
So the best we’ve got is simply trying to bring down the top antisemites through the legal system one by one. That’s the fight. Maybe we can make a few meaningful dents that way — but the truth is my hopes here have drained more and more such that there remains little fuel left in my tank to even keep going.
Are you in or out?
Warm wishes and happy Yom Kippur,

P.S. I’ll share with you one last article of mine you might enjoy. I note that we were both born in 1984 — I’m almost four months ahead of you, so I expect you to respect your elders here.
If you’re serious about now emerging as a meaningful voice of our micro-generation opposing far-right antisemitism, then consider too how those of us born in the first half of the 1980s are uniquely set apart from those before and after us, particularly due to the technological innovations that emerged during the time. We’re really not millennials like our siblings born in the 1990s. We’re really more of a blend with the Xers, and at this point it seems like we have a temperament more akin to them, rather than those younger than us. Understand how we are set apart, and then how the millennial, Gen-Zers, and now Gen-Alpha taking these trends to the extreme are distinctly different, and will thus be much harder to influence. It’s just so difficult to really get through to those younger than us.
P.S.S. Food for thought:
I'm honored to be your muse for a minute, though I suggest someone far better looking, or at least one who knows how to roll a joint. But until then, I'm glad I pass the sniff test 💜
