Israeli billionaire Shlomo Kramer, the tech mogul behind Check Point Software and Cato Networks, boldly declared his New Year’s resolution for 2026: to eliminate America’s First Amendment. In a high-profile CNBC interview on January 1, Kramer stated without hesitation, “I know it’s difficult to hear, but it’s time to limit the First Amendment in order to protect it,” before going further and calling for its outright repeal in the digital age. As a foreign national with immense influence in global cybersecurity, Kramer argued that unrestricted free speech has become too dangerous, paving the way for government-mandated content controls, mandatory user verification, and the total elimination of anonymous online expression.

This stance marks a dramatic reversal from historical patterns, where Jewish advocates were among the strongest defenders of absolute First Amendment protections precisely because those freedoms enabled the unchecked promotion of pornography, race mixing, and the forced imposition of multicultural society upon traditional Western nations. For decades, the amendment served as the perfect shield, allowing the systematic erosion of cultural norms under the banner of “free expression” while silencing any opposition as bigotry. Kramer now openly admits that the era of exploiting those protections is over—the goal has been largely achieved, and unrestricted speech is no longer useful to the agenda.

With the cultural transformation well underway, Kramer’s call to dismantle the First Amendment reveals the endgame: once the amendment enabled the destruction of cohesive, high-trust societies from within, it must now be eliminated to prevent any counter-reaction or restoration of traditional values. His resolution is not about “protecting” free speech—it is about consolidating power by ensuring only approved narratives survive in the digital public square, permanently entrenching the changes that unrestricted “freedom” once helped impose.
