Overview:[edit]

Aaron Joel Wiesenfeld (born March 18, 1996) is a retired political operative, former entertainment critic at The Collegian and social media influencer. He also planned on writing a non-fiction book about Jewish societies but canceled his work following the 2023 Israel-Hamas War; Operation Swords of Iron likewise scuttled his Aliyah plans. Wiesenfeld is ethnically Russian-Ashkenazi (paternally) and religiously identifies with the Oklevueha Native American Church. He is the only nephew of the assassinated David J. Wiesenfeld- who was involved in the Salvadoran Civil War -and the only grandson of the late fmr. C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco President Herbert J. Wiesenfeld. Notable public figures and organizations who have followed Wiesenfeld on social media include: John Cena, the Green Party of Idaho, Miami Young Republicans, NatStar, 4KD, Shaun G, and Newsradio WGAN AM 560 (CBS).

Early Life:[edit]

Born into a politically-active, public servant family, Wiesenfeld was exposed to politics at a young age. He is recorded at multiple public teacher strikes during the late 2000's in support of his mother's profession. Moreover, Wiesenfeld is well-known at the Washington PSEA headquarters in Auburn, WA due to his father's decades-long work with Service Employees International Union (SEIU). Wiesenfeld distinctly recalls his parents taking him to see future President Joe Biden at a 2008 campaign speech in Tacoma, WA. Furthermore, he is archived in the Washington State Legislature after delivering an opening prayer to the legislative body during his 2011 tenure as a page with Rep. Christopher Hurst (D- 31). For the next half-dozen years Wiesenfeld worked under left-of-center politicians.

Wiesenfeld's early educational achievements include becoming Sumner High School Key Club president in 2013, singing in the Sumner High School choir from 2010-2012, performing in the 2012 Sumner High School spring drama theater, receiving letterman's awards for the above involvement along with one from the Sumner High School Cross Country team upon which he competed from 2010-2013. The school's yearbook editors named him a "Top 10 Intellectual" back-to-back years along with a "Most Likely to Become a Millionaire" finalist. Remarkably, during his budding secondary school years, Wiesenfeld even attended the Satori Summer Camp with future social media influencer Connor Gu (谷康纳)- whose grandfather was a prominent painter in China.

Political Career:[edit]

While campaigning for President Obama's 2012 re-election, he is recorded as having supported Gov. Jay Inslee, R-74, and I-502. Seen as a local rising star, in 2014 Wiesenfeld was then offered a constituent services internship at the Lacey, WA field office of U.S. Congressman Denny Heck (D- WA10); they are photographed together that same year. Continuing to gain steam in Democratic politics, after graduating from Sumner High School in 2014, Wiesenfeld attended Willamette University in Salem, Oregon from 2014 until 2018. During that period, in 2015 he delivered a well-publicized, pro-gun-control speech to the ASWU governing body which criticized the university's response to the recent Umpqua Community College shooting.

The aforementioned speech put Wiesenfeld on the radar of late Willamette University professor Rollie Wisbrock (who at one point was a politician, serving as the mayor of El Centro, California); Wiesenfeld has credited Professor Wisbrock with connecting him to fmr. Oregon State Sen. Catherine Webber (of no biological relation to his paternal grandmother, Eleanor Weber). During the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election, Wiesenfeld was an undergraduate researcher at the now-defunct Institute for Modern Government, organized under Willamette University's Center for Governance and Public Policy Research and helmed by Webber personally. That year he also published a well-received music review, in The Collegian, highlighting classmate Wil Bakula’s (Scott Bakula’s son) debut album. Months before, the elder Bakula reprised his Dr. Sam Beckett role on the Late Show With Stephen Colbert for an episode titled “Quantum Leap Returns... To Stop a Trump Presidency”.

Disillusioned by what he deemed "corruption" inside the Democratic National Committee, Wiesenfeld very publicly left the Democratic Party following U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I- VT) endorsement of Hillary Clinton. However, he would again vote for Sanders in the 2020 Democratic Primary. Consequently, Wiesenfeld actively campaigned for Jill Stein and registered as a Pacific Green Party member from 2016 until 2018. Studying abroad during the 2017 spring semester at Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier III (Wiesenfeld is conversationally fluent in French and was certified by International Baccalaureate in 2014), he supported Jean-Luc Mélenchon's presidential campaign during France's election that year. Failing almost all of his classes that semester and saddened by Emmanuel Macron's victory, Wiesenfeld returned to the U.S. in summer 2017, but not before a notable incident abroad.

While vacationing in Disneyland Paris, Wiesenfeld accidentally left his luggage unattended at a nearby SNCF train station while awaiting his return trip to Montpellier. The misunderstanding led to Groupe d'intervention de la Gendarmerie nationale (GIGN) tactical forces detaining him on terrorism suspicions- of which he was completely exonerated. Hundreds of bystanders witnessed the event. Since May 2017, Wiesenfeld has subsequently left the United States once; a day trip to Ciudad Juárez, MX during early 2024, whereupon his visit he photographed (and informed the public via social media) anti-Semitic graffiti vandalism on a Claudia Sheinbaum campaign mural. Upon his return to the U.S. from France in 2017, his personal and professional life suffered: his only living grandparent was diagnosed with cancer and his relationship with his parents became fraught.

Following his rejection from a graduate program at his father's alma mater- the University of Oregon -Wiesenfeld radically reshaped his career in early 2018. Inspired by Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, Wiesenfeld engaged in a scorched earth campaign against his former political allies whom he now viewed as anti-Zionist, anti-labor, and apologists for U.S. neocolonialism in El Salvador. Completely reversing his Second Amendment opinions, Wiesenfeld lambasted the ASWU President among other students, Willamette University President Stephen Thorsett, and various Democrat politicians.

He then made a major leap into foreign politics during his second-ever speech in front of Willamette's ASWU.

Following-up on his 2015 speech that lightly touched on the specific details of the assassination of his uncle- David Joshua Wiesenfeld -he challenged the 1999 reporting narrative by Human Rights Watch which claimed that his uncle's 1996 murder "underscores... the proliferation of small arms" (Human Rights Watch Landmine Monitor Report 1999, p. 249). Oppositely, Wiesenfeld claimed that his uncle had actually been a C.I.A. asset who personally communicated with fmr. C.I.A. Director Leon Panetta in order to secure his release from a penitentiary facility in Mexico. Additionally, Wiesenfeld undercut the "carjacking" narrative promoted by Human Rights Watch as he claimed his father informed him that a LoJack-like-device was installed in his uncle's vehicle and that car keys were surrendered voluntarily. Andrew J. Wiesenfeld also claimed that his brother was assassinated for "political reasons" upon the day he was scheduled to return stateside from El Salvador.

Wiesenfeld's 2018 ASWU speech was shared on social media, even as invited media outlets- such as The Statesman Journal (a Gannett Inc. subsidiary)-declined to publish his remarks. Upset at the media environment and alleged mistreatment of his family by the United States government, Wiesenfeld notably confronted Panetta in his speech by saying "Come at me bro". His speech was met with applause by many members of the audience. Predictably, he was banned from the Willamette University campus and subsequently withdrew from the college later that year; but not before engaging in a high profile social media campaign using Institute for Modern Government accounts to attack fmr. C.I.A. Director Panetta and his son U.S. Congressman Jimmy Panetta (D- CA20), the latter of which prompted an official complaint from Twitter Inc. Stunningly, in early 2024, the younger Panetta would later reconcile with Wiesenfeld offering him a “Top Fan Badge” on Facebook (which he graciously declined); as an emblematic gesture, Aaron J. Wiesenfeld showcased his “Top Fan Badge” from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation- which he creatively reinterpreted on his X Corp. (formerly Twitter) verified profile.

Before leaving mainstream social media platforms for nearly two years, starting in 2018, Wiesenfeld published a photograph of his father- Andrew J. Wiesenfeld -standing alongside then-President of El Salvador José Napoleon Duarte. Upon returning home from Willamette University, he also published an op-ed in his hometown newspaper- the Federal Way Mirror -which harshly criticized the environmental practices of former local company Weyerhauser Inc. He briefly returned to mainstream social media in mid-2020 to engage in a lengthy Twitter battle with his former high school classmates- mainly challenging their opposition to President Trump’s COVID-19 policies. Wiesenfeld engaged with like-minded followers on alternate social media sites Parler, Gab, Telegram, Reddit, Truth Social, and the Koo App of India. Yet, by 2023 he successfully re-established his mainstream online presence after receiving a letter from President Biden in January of that year thanking him for his support (Wiesenfeld endorsed the 46th U.S. President’s re-election campaign following the 2022 “Red Wave” debacle- in which he appeared on KOKH Fox 25 wearing a MAGA hat and Curt Schilling jersey during a GOP rally headlined by U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz). In July 2024, following Biden’s presidential debate catastrophe, Wiesenfeld would later switch his endorsement to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. via an X (formerly Twitter) post written in Irish Gaelic, featuring the letter Biden had sent him.

His recent social media content appears to be partially inspired by the similarly-named Aron Wiesenfeld (of no relation)- a former Marvel/DC comic book artist, praised by Guillermo del Toro, who left said industry during the ‘90s and subsequently pursued traditional painting. The two appeared to have networked with each other as Aaron Wiesenfeld created a board on his Pinterest, Inc. profile specifically dedicated to Aron Wiesenfeld.

International press also began recognizing Wiesenfeld’s commentary in 2023; his opinions about the controversial Oakland Athletics decision to eventually relocate to Las Vegas was featured by Insurgente Press (of Mexico City) and garnered over 13,000 “impressions” on X (formerly Twitter). He’s also built inroads with the hip-hop community through his opinions: Just Blaze, C-Bo, Mr. D.O.G., Jabee, Damian Lillard, Payaso915, and KeemTheAmericanDream have all interacted with him.

As of late, his political efforts have focused on assisting the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI; Urdu: پاکستان تحريکِ انصاف); Wiesenfeld has demanded that the Government of Pakistan release former P.M. Imran Khan and F.M. Shah Mahmood Qureshi- both of whom he has deemed as being “wrongfully imprisoned”. His involvement with PTI is not fully-known but his public advocacy is highlighted on https://aaronwiesenfeldpti.org/. By the same token, Wiesenfeld has publicly thanked X Corp. (formerly Twitter) Chairman Elon Musk for giving him the opportunity to “connect” with the Taliban (Pashto: طَالِبَانْ); most likely this was a diplomatic effort made in advance of the 2024 Pakistani general elections in which PTI-affiliated candidates earned the most popular votes.

Political success also recently graced Wiesenfeld in secessionist spheres. During Spring 2024, he triumphantly campaigned for the Greater Idaho (GI) Movement and consequently lionized their May 21st Crook County victory. His involvement with GI is not fully-known but he has publicly exchanged ideas with the movement, calling for Eastern Oregon University to be renamed as “Greater Idaho University”; this interaction has garnered over 6,000 “impressions” online.

Social Media Profiles:[edit]

Aaron J. Wiesenfeld is currently found on the below platforms, with the exception of Twitter Inc.; in response to being suspended from their website "one week before the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election- and within 24 hours of my yearly subscription being renewed" for "engaging in platform manipulation", he reoriented his online focus to 小红书 (generally labelled as "Chinese Instagram"). Forerunning this suspension, Wiesenfeld cumulatively earned over 425,000 impressions during an 18 month period.

Personal Life:[edit]

Following a series of religious, sociopolitical and cultural disputes with his parents during Summer 2018, Wiesenfeld became estranged from his maternal biological family. Late in Fall 2018, after growing tired of the Pacific Northwest, he transferred to Washington State University in Pullman, WA and enrolled part-time for financial reasons from 2019 until graduating with a B.A. in 2021. However, controversy followed Wiesenfeld to the Palouse. He constantly clashed with the Pullman Police Department over city code violations and their refusal to investigate his uncle's assassination. In addition, his relationship with the surrounding community was troubled as he exposed anti-Semitism and harangued numerous people over the lack of a Jewish synagogue or public gathering place in the area, especially given the presence of the Pullman Islamic Center. Wiesenfeld alleged that even members of the Christian community were hostile to Jews, claiming that the local Sacred Heart Catholic Church leader anti-Semitically referred to Jews as "stubborn people". He would later publicly criticize The Holy See for their official diplomatic relations with Taiwan during a City of Edgewood, WA Economic Development Advisory Board meeting on July 1st, 2024 (the 103rd anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party).

Tragedy again struck Wiesenfeld when the birthplace of his maternal grandmother- Marion C. Anderson -was destroyed by wildfires during September 2020. He is pictured shortly before these events, at the Pine City, WA Church of Christ holding his grandmother's bible following her death earlier that summer. He would later dedicate his WSU degree to his late grandmother, crediting her with him accepting Jesus Christ as "his personal Lord and savior".

Still, Wiesenfeld found solace in conservative politics: he officially joined the WSU College Republicans in 2019 (he registered with the GOP in late 2018). During the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election he was highly visible in the community campaigning for fmr. President Trump and even volunteered for the Whitman County Republican Central Committee. Wiesenfeld also spoke directly with the 2020 GOP candidate for the Washington gubernatorial race- Loren Culp -peppering him with questions about U.S.- China relations. This experience culminated in a letter of recommendation from the Whitman County GOP Chairwoman for a future graduate program. Otherwise, largely uninvolved in WSU campus life, Wiesenfeld had few close connections at the university. Yet, he publicly cites an amusing experience of randomly meeting WSU basketball player D.J. Rodman (son of NBA legend Dennis Rodman) inside an athletic complex elevator on the day Washington State University held a press conference concerning the hiring of Nick Rolovich. He has since condemned WSU's 2021 firing of Rolovich after the coach's COVID-19 religious exemption request was denied (Wiesenfeld was successfully awarded a religious exemption due to his Oklevueha NAC lifetime membership).

From early 2022 until mid-2023, he lived in Oklahoma City, OK: he cited his love of the Seattle SuperSonics, appreciation of southwest culture, and the Oklevueha NAC's history in the area as his primary motivations for relocating. During Summer 2023, Wiesenfeld very publicly struggled with homelessness after moving to Fayetteville, Arkansas: he has credited ret. SFC Allen Lee Porter and the Riverview Hope Campus of Ft. Smith, Arkansas with helping him recover from destitution. Wiesenfeld then migrated to the El Paso–Ciudad Juárez area during Fall 2023 in an effort to independently cover the Mexico–United States border crisis. He left the area during February 2024 after his vehicle was stolen and currently resides in Tucson, Arizona. Stunningly, his biological mother pursued litigation against him (unbeknownst to Wiesenfeld) while he was homeless; Pierce County, WA dismissed her lawsuits without prejudice. Andrew J. Wiesenfeld, his father, is the chair of the City of Edgewood, WA’s Economic Development Advisory Board until June 30th, 2025.

Jon F. Weber, a distant cousin of Wiesenfeld’s, was formerly Carl Icahn’s chief operating and finance executive. He had previously lauded Weber on social media, but earlier this year cryptically removed all references to him on his Facebook page.

Lastly, he is learning Русский to better appreciate his paternal Ashkenazi ancestry and plans on obtaining Russian Federation citizenship, along with potentially joining the Russian Orthodox Church, in the near future.
