I have not followed Breitbart, except to note DK's passing references.
Taking a glance at their sites, it seems that they are indeed a conservative Jewish tabloid type organization.
The other interesting thing is that they have lost some of their Jewish voices among the personnel, in the reach out to bigoted anti Semitic American Christian right wing populism.
The neocon movement, as DK noted, started out as a conservative Jewish initiative, but it reached out for its stooges primarily to liberal and centrist gentile Christians, not to far right wingers.
American ultras, so to speak, would never be the deep friends of conservative Jews, but rather their enemies.
It is hard to imagine a conservative Jewish secret society keeping and holding a large front organization, in Arendt's sense, even as ignorant stooges, of a large contingent of truly conservative radical right Christians.
This brings me to the question: where does Trump really fit into this framework?
Is he a bona fide insider, in fact the leader insider, or a fellow traveler?
Is he the boss, or the biggest stooge?
Hitler always kept his actual role ambiguous.
