The Israel cancer within the USA and entire western world
By Jonas E. Alexis, April 20, 2026


The Israel lobby is not a purely Jewish phenomenon. Much support comes from the evangelic Christian community in the USA. The most fervent supporters of the organisation that is doing more to kill the USA than any outside force or enemy of the USA it conceives itself to have. A loose confederation of individuals, many of them stupendously wealthy, constantly eating away at and undermining the fabric of U.S. society.

Due to a reliance on collective guilt and sympathy for the millions of Jews murdered by the Nazis in death camps the entire subject of whether the acts of successive Israeli governments have been right or wrong has been heavily skewed in favour of them being supported as almost universally right. Little to no criticism of Israeli acts of brutality against the Palestinian population permitted. The Israel lobby has largely been responsible for every such cover-up.

The relationship between the Israel lobby and those who inhabit the upper echelons of wealth, power and politics in the USA really an incestuous one where, as the saying goes, one hand washes the other. Money plays a huge part in this process where virtually all who agree to the alignments adhered to profit enormously. As long as the political views of those involved remain committed to Israel incompetence and extremism, dishonesty or even criminality hardly matter, only loyalty to the cause deemed important.
If any individual seen to step out of line on the long agreed Israel policy that person will immediately be targeted. To those targeting that individual the matter of whether he or she is a competent individual who works to benefit of the USA totally irrelevant. If that person is not committed to the unswerving support of Israel, right or wrong, that person must, one way or another, be removed from office. Those who express and demonstrate their commitment, no matter how incompetent in performing duties, are rewarded and supported financially, and in every other possible way to ensure they stay in power.

For the reasons above successive U.S. administrations have shown every indication that the wellbeing and success of Israel is more important to them than that of their own nation. A fact came into stark focus in recent years as the government of Benjamin Netanyahu began a genocidal campaign against the Palestinian population of Gaza. Palestinians have died in their tens of thousands, most of them innocent men, women and most unforgivably of all, children. Yet criticism from U.S. officialdom has been muted and most of the time, entirely absent. The reason being the stranglehold the Israel lobby keeps over virtually all politicians holding important positions within the U.S. political hierarchy.

Now however, the disgust felt against the child-killing elites of Israel is sweeping the world and also among the younger demographic within the USA also. All the incestuous relationships across the power-brokers not only in the USA but across the western world are under increasing scrutiny and criticism. The older generation who continue to maintain their grip on power and continue to support Israel right or wrong are increasingly subject to criticism for their uncritical support of genocide.

The young of North America, not under any threat of being attacked and undermined by the Israel lobby in the way their elected officials, see no reason to restrain their criticism of Israel’s murderous acts against the Palestinians. Youth have long been taught to defend the human rights of all and to fight against injustice and wrongdoing and in their millions now, they see with clear-eyed certainty that what the Israelis are doing is wrong. And therefore what U.S. government and leading U.S. politicians do in supporting Israel equally wrong also.

The Israel lobby has been like a cancer eating into the fabric of the political sphere in the USA decade after decade, skewing the primary focus far from the wellbeing and benefit of Americans at home to their detriment while assisting in the crimes of the Israelis in the Middle East. Events long hidden due to the strength of the lobby, the history of the systematic acts of criminality against the Palestinians coming ever more to the fore. The tide is now massively against the Israelis and for the Palestinians among the youth of the world with the USA far from being excluded.

The cancer of the Israel lobby within the USA and elsewhere began to be treated. The cure will be a long one. The cancerous cells deeply embedded across all western elites, and in every sphere of the western elite from business to media to politics and beyond. The infestation will not be easily eradicated. The vast majority of the most powerful people in each western nation infected and will fight hard, as we have seen, to repress, subjugate, punish and imprison those attempting to nullify their effect. But with success, with eradication, comes a renewal of the West, a recapturing of some of the moral high ground that has been lost. A goal well worth fighting for, for the sake of ourselves, as well as for the rights of the Palestinian people now suffering under the present genocide.

According to a leaked report from Russian intelligence, an Israeli vessel carrying the largest adrenochrome shipment ever recorded was intercepted by Russian forces at the Tartus naval base in Syria. Destination? Hollywood, USA.

Putin’s Adrenochrome Task Force briefed the Kremlin just hours after the bust. Early estimates say the batch was refined from the blood of at least 10,000 children—many allegedly harvested from the chaos of Ukraine, Syria, and Gaza.

Robert David Steele—ex-CIA case officer, whistleblower one of the first to speak publicly about the adrenochrome trade.
He didn’t speculate. He named it. Found dead after giving sworn testimony.

AI Overview:
Based on available reports, this claim likely stems from extreme, unverified rumors or conspiracy theories—such as those linked to QAnon—which often distort real issues of human trafficking. While sexual exploitation and trafficking of children do exist in the US, reputable sources do not report the systemic, industrialized breeding of children for sale, which is a common, inaccurate trope.

Me:
Been on Russia's side ever since Obama and Neuland engineered the coup against elected Viktor Yanukovych in 2014. And I wouldn't think of renaging after Zelensky murdered 14,000 ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine over tax issues prior to Putin's Special Military Operation, February 24, 2022.

Oh shit. Thread got way too tangential.

Lebanon does not equal Hezbollah.

Proxies are insidious but doomed to economic externalities.

Can’t remember who were tbe bad guys in Gaza any more. Sounded like Humus (chick peas, sesame tahini, olive oil, and a few spices).

OK good, back on track..,
Well the only people left in Gaza are victims....I think they been beaten down a bit too much. Any Hamas still there are deep underground and hiding for fear of their lives.
Now Israel has to rebuild Gaza, more hospitals and more hotels and apartment buildings for the Palestinians, not Israeli settlers...

Another historic church lies in ashes after a major fire tore through Saint-Romain, Quebec, last night. The building, whose construction began in 1893, is the latest casualty in a relentless campaign against Canada’s Christian institutions that has seen arsons more than double since 2021.

The same thing is happening all over Europe.

Responses on X captured the frustration. One user noted: “Churches are burning around the world And yet they keep telling us there’s nothing to see."

https://modernity.news/2026/04/14/yet-another-historic-church-torched-in-canada/

CBC haven't posted anything on the Quebec church burning last night as I post today but gets mentioned in the Modernity News link.
The thing is the church is getting payback for all those indiscriminate crimes like buggering young boys, a person that needed help but was refused etc...

A pyromaniac is loose...churches are easy targets. And they burn quite nicely.... Look at notre dame in Paris... that was a awesome fire...

Recently watched a documentary on Windsor Castle, it was burnt in the 90s, and now has updated its construction to modern fire codes. Just like notre dame will be....

What Guides the International Olympic Committee (IOC) When Deciding the Fate of National Teams. Russia is the “Bad Guy”. No Restrictions against Israel and U.S.

Remarkable coincidence explained quite simply: the IOC has 14 main sponsors, five of which are based in the United States (Coca-Cola, Intel, Visa, Procter & Gamble, and Airbnb). Moreover, the lion’s share of all the Committee’s income comes from the sale of broadcasting rights for the Olympic Games. Almost half of these rights belong to the American channel NBC.

By such simple means, the IOC’s budget has grown to tens of billions of dollars, whereas before 1985, when the organization survived only through the sale of merchandise, stamps, and collectible Olympic coins, it could boast only millions.

Haven't been much on TV viewing recent years but I always preferred CTV coverage over CBC for events in Canada.

(Beirut)—Saudi Arabia’s execution of more than 2,000 people over the last decade in many cases violates Saudi and international law and belies the government’s claims of reform, 36 groups including Human Rights Watch said April 21, 2026.

Era has witnessed an unprecedented number of executions, including the execution of child defendants, disproportionate executions of foreign nationals, and politically motivated executions of individuals sentenced for acts related to the exercise of their right to freedom of expression.

Out of the approximately 2,000 executions, 845 individuals were foreign nationals—around 42% of the total—representing 34 different nationalities from Asia and Africa, as well as one US citizen.

During King Salman and Mohammad bin Salman’s rule, 41 women were also executed. Documented cases indicate serious deficiencies in how women’s cases are handled, including situations involving victims of domestic violence or human trafficking.

https://www.hrw.org/news/2026/04/21/saudi-arabia-surge-in-executions-over-a-decade

You can't do anything about wealthy Saudi without possibly imparing your own interests to improve your own situation through efficient local authority.

Many nations with organic growth near or below the replacement level could simply close the border and let the promise of AI support the economies of ageing demographics. Most such nations have robust enough military to keep the indiscriminate breeders out. Likely no going back on the rampant money printing since 1913 putting expanded demographics on steroids. Nations with stable numbers would also have stable currency with or without fiat.

War end could be in sight. Civilian deaths in Ukraine 15,586 exceeding the 14,000 Zelensky murdered over tax issues in eastern Ukraine prior to Putin's Special Military Operation. Been about 8000 Russian casualties since war started if Russia looks to square these and ongoing Ukrainian drone strikes.

"Zelensky murdered 14,000". Really? I'm amazed that you keep digging up and posting this garbage.
When you hear "Special Military Operation" you should know it's Russian propaganda.
What crap.

Between 2014 and the end of 2021, an estimated 6,500 pro-Russian separatist fighters were killed in the Donbas conflict. This eight-year localized war resulted in a total death toll of about 14,300 people, which also included roughly 4,400 Ukrainian soldiers and 3,404 civilians.

Data on casualties is derived from reports published by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. For an in-depth visual overview of the pre-2022 conflict, see the International Crisis Group Donbas Visual Explainer.



The unfortunate course of Ukraine from powerful post-Soviet state and an elected president alleged to have embezzled billions. An offshore inspired coup killing 14,300 between 2014 and 2021.

I believe legally elected Ukraine president Yanukovych sequestered state funds linked to a nacent banking system in Russia rather than the West's Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT). The short-sightedness of executing a coup ousting Yanukovych only made an easy exit for both the president and cash.

Gene editing a targeted approach that precisely enhances or diminishes an existing gene within a species. Differs from genetically modified organisms (GMOs), which involve introducing one or more new genes from another species.
Gene editing to increase resistance to plant diseases—powdery mildew—which threaten wheat and pea crops. Contributes to reducing the use of fungicides.

Gene editing technologies can also increase crop nutrient values.
• enhanced protein (canola, corn, potato, rice, wheat);
• increased oils and fatty acids (canola, corn, rice, soy);
• improved carbohydrates (corn, potato, sugar beet, soy);
• increased vitamins (potato, rice, strawberry, tomato); and
• increased mineral availability (lettuce, rice, soy, corn, wheat).

Biofortification research in wheat has raised levels of zinc and selenium, both of which are important micronutrients. Tomatoes currently gene-edited to increase lycopene, an antioxidant linked to lower risks of cancer and heart disease. Extend food shelf life. AI technologies can screen plants to identify crucial genes responsible for specific traits such as yield, disease resistance, drought tolerance, and nutrition and then indicate how to edit the genes for superior functionality.

Food inflation very evident yet at fresh fruit and vegetable stands. Most stuff likely gets sent to food banks or the organic recycling bin.

The same media that files stories on “far-right” threat while ignoring grooming gang scandals, no-go zones, and skyrocketing violence against women and girls. The Telegraph even admits the shift comes from young people “profoundly disaffected with mainstream parties” and disillusioned with modern life.

The Telegraph profiles the banned women in breathless detail. Catalan activist Ada Lluch has called out “complete invasion” of western democracies, American influencer Valentina Gomez warned about “rapist Muslims taking over,” and Dutch commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek spoke of “the rape, replacement and murder of our people.”

ICTY: Fabricating Evidence With Voice Cloning Technology

Those capabilities and the time frame when they became operational are pertinent to the operation of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia [ICTY] and may affect many of the verdicts handed down, in particular in relation to Srebrenica. Many of those verdicts were based on forensically unauthenticated but highly incriminating voice recordings.

The technology known as “voice conversion” or “voice morphing.” Defined as “modifying the speech signal of one speaker (the source speaker) to sound as if spoken by a different speaker (the target speaker).”

Clearly benign applications. As in the dubbing of foreign films whilst preserving the original voice texture of the actors.

Authenticity of all audio evidence and intercepts relied on by courts should be subjected to thorough and independent forensic scrutiny.

The Replacements: How US Helps Foreign Workers Take American Jobs

In the last few decades, the California dream has gone global as U.S. tech firms have filled their ranks and C-suites with employees born abroad. Intel is no longer the company of its founders, Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, but of Malaysian-born Lip-Bu Tan, its CEO since March 2025. Microsoft is led by Satya Nadella; Alphabet Inc. by Sundar Pichai; Adobe by Shantanu Narayen; IBM by Arvind Krishna; YouTube by Neal Mohan; and T-Mobile US by Srinivas Gopalan - all of whom were born in India.

All told, a remarkable two-thirds of Silicone Valley's nearly 400,000 tech jobs are now held by those born abroad.

One of the most glaring weaknesses of the law, critics say, is that most companies applying for these visas are not required to demonstrate that they were unable to find qualified American workers.

In addition to cheaper talent, critics say H-1B visas also provide a captive workforce. Because employers can sponsor visa holders for permanent residency, many workers become heavily reliant on keeping their jobs in order to remain in the United States.

A proposed reform that might gain more bipartisan support targets the ineffective prevailing wage requirement that allows firms to underpay foreign workers.

Labor costs would be opposed by Big Tech, armed with its war chest of money and influence in Washington. H-1B reformers face a tough fight. The donors on the issue include all of the high-tech companies, whether Microsoft, Facebook, all of them. They put millions and millions of dollars every year into lobbying.

Laura Harth - Campaign Director at Safeguard Defenders based in Italy.

Speaks of the same Ministry of Public Security with which the Carney government signed a January 2026 policing pact — and which Ottawa refuses to disclose. The Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation in Combating Crimes, signed during Carney’s Beijing visit, was one of several agreements concluded on the trip; while the texts of others have been released, the RCMP has declined to make this one public.

Trump Implements Putin’s Plan and Withdraws Troops From Russian Borders

Trump’s decisions, both in form and substance, partially fulfill the Kremlin’s demands from the end of 2021 for the withdrawal of NATO forces from countries bordering Russia. Recall after the West rejected these demands, Russia launched a Special Military Operation in Ukraine.

European security is no longer a priority for Washington, which expects Europe to shoulder most of the responsibility and costs, particularly within NATO.

Despite the challenges, Europe has real potential to strengthen its military. With about 500 million inhabitants and a strong industrial base, European countries can rearm and develop their own military industry.

Mediators and external actors will not resolve the conflict in Ukraine, regardless of their statements. Past experiences, such as the liberation of the territory of the Luhansk People’s Republic, show that results were achieved not through mediators but by military means with the process in the Donetsk People’s Republic continuing.

The US has significantly reduced direct aid to Ukraine, and the new budgets do not include any funding.

https://www.globalresearch.ca/trump-implements-putin-plan-withdraws-troops-russian-borders/5927580

Not easy to forget America instigated the war with a coup against a legally elected Ukrainian president siding with the SPFS (System for Transfer of Financial Messages), or Система передачи финансовых сообщений (СПФС). Developed by the Central Bank of Russia and serves as an alternative network for transmitting interbank payment messages.

Europe doesn't really have any bone to pick with Russia. Only looks to have supported the coup for American troop commitment in western Europe. More of an economic commitment with thousands of American troops who won't be spending in the European economy now.

Why Stable Systems Fail: The Illusion Of Institutional Control

Systems do not merely fail to process dispersed knowledge; they restructure reality so that corrective feedback no longer enters.

Any signal requiring fundamental revision threatens not just a policy, but the system’s internal logic. The cost of recognition becomes prohibitive.

The system becomes less responsive—not because it lacks information, but because it can no longer recognize what falls outside its categories.

Demands are acknowledged but redirected. Critiques are translated into procedural adjustments. Pressure accumulates without producing structural change. It is dispersed, reformulated, or deferred. This creates a second illusion: that pressure leads to correction.

Pressure can be absorbed indefinitely—so long as it does not align. Fragmented demands rarely threaten a system. Even widespread dissatisfaction can coexist with institutional continuity if it lacks coordination and timing.

What appears to be stability is closer to inertia than to equilibrium. Feedback loops become captured. Signals are no longer responses to reality, but to negotiated representations.

By the time fragility becomes visible, it has long been present; what changes is not instability itself, but its expression. The real danger is not that systems fail, but that they continue to function after losing the capacity for correction.

Markets, by contrast, reveal what bureaucracies suppress. Price signals communicate information about scarcity, preference, and misallocation that no centralized structure can replicate. Coordination emerges not from design, but from dispersed knowledge.

https://mises.org/power-market/why-stable-systems-fail-illusion-institutional-control

Many in the trade have argued Markets vanished long ago with central bank manipulation and what remains merely a wealth transfer system.
