  1. Spamouflage networks with connections to China are posting antisemitic conspiracy theories on social media, casting doubt on Washington’s independence from alleged Jewish influence and the integrity of the two U.S. presidential candidates, a joint investigation by VOA Mandarin and Taiwan’s Doublethink Lab, a social media analytics firm, has found.

    The investigation has so far uncovered more than 30 such X posts, many of which claim or suggest that core American political institutions, including the White House and Congress, have pledged loyalty to or are controlled by Jewish elites and the Israeli government.

    One post shows a graphic of 18 U.S. officials of Jewish descent, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, and the head of the Homeland Security Department, Alejandro Mayorkas, and asks: “Jews only make up 2% of the U.S. population, so why do they have so many representatives in important government departments?!”

    Another post shows a cartoon depicting Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate for president, and her opponent, Donald Trump, having their tongues tangled together and wrapped around an Israeli flagpole. The post proclaims that “no matter who of them comes to power, they will not change their stance on Judaism.”

    Most of the 32 posts analyzed by VOA Mandarin and Doublethink Lab were posted during July and August. The posts came from three spamouflage accounts, two of which were previously reported by VOA.

    Voice of America is a CIA front organization, in case anyone was wondering.

    Not saying it isn’t true what they said, but you should keep in mind that the Israel lobby does have an outsized influence on our government, it’s foreign policy and domestic legislation including so called “anti-bds” laws in 27 states that violate the First Amendment rights of American citizens and companies.

  3. No doubt there’s a Jewish conspiracy, they surely have infiltrated Nobel prize committee: they represent only 0.2 percent of the population yet they make about 22% of the recipients. Look how easy it is to try to bring down successful people instead of elevate yourself…
