Is It Correct?

I've seen antisemitic graphics like this spread by many, many conspiracy theorists, but this time stood out as nakedly wrong enough to me to take a closer look at it

The rejoinder to this and all other "Jews control [industry]" theories is that, well, gentiles forced Jews out of public life and into stigmatized occupations, and then turned around and used so many Jewish people being where they forced them to be as a justification for further antisemitism. It happened in medieval times when Christians, barred from charging interest by the church, forced Jews to become money-lenders, and it happened with the arts

But one on the far right caught my eye:

Paul Mazursky, director. Touchstone Pictures.

Let's analyze this: Paul Mazursky died in 2014. He made two movies for Touchstone, out of over a dozen films in his long career. Touchstone itself no longer exists as a label used by Disney. In short, proof that the media is owned by Jewish people is found in the fact that a deceased Jewish director made two films for a film studio subsidiary that no longer exists and that he didn't create or own

Reposts of this graphic often cut off the lower half, which is what reveals its creator, a Neo-Nazi group called the Goyim Defense League.

Their other fliers include "Every Single Aspect of USA Politics is Jewish", as well as every single aspect of "anti-white hate", the slave trade, mass immigration, gun control, "Disney child grooming", Trump's campaign funding, Epstein, Ukraine, the "LGBT Movement", the Federal Reserve, BlackRock, hedge funds, communism, pornography, feminism, the Ivy League, 9/11, abortion, "child sacrifice" (read: blood libel), the "COVID agenda", Freemasonry, the JFK assassination, the Biden administration, and Christ's crucifixion. They also have fliers about the Dresden bombing, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the Talmud, and are branching out into anti-black fliers as well.

But like. Let's look at the original flier. Note: I did not try to identify which of the people cited were actually Jewish, because I'm not googling if random people are Jewish. Only if their cited relationship was accurate

It lists several studio's founders. Harry Cohn has been dead since 1958, Ralph Cohn (who founded the distant forerunner to Sony Pictures Television and not Sony itself - because of Sony, you know, being from Japan) since 1959, but Sony is still credited to them even though Sony Pictures is currently run by Ravi Ahuja and Columbia by Peter Kang, who are both of Asian descent. Many of the companies are no longer run by the same people, such as Nickelodeon and Showtime.

Let's look at the other top of the line names. Bob Bakish resigned from Paramount Global in 2024, and shortly afterward it ceased to exist during the Paramount Skydance merger. Charlie Collier is now head of Roku. Brian Roberts is still in charge of Comcast, David Zaslav is trying to negotiate a golden parachute for himself after giving away Warner Bros to Paramount, and Bob Iger has already been replaced by Josh D'Amaro. Two out of six are still correctly attributed, and one of those two is actively trying to leave, and yet this flier lives on.

Meanwhile, the section for Fox has to dig deep enough to find something called "Bento Box". That would be the studio that has produced Bob's Burgers, and...a lot of unsuccessful one season animated shows. You know, all those terrible Fox cartoons that air around Bob's Burgers and The Simpsons? They had a nebulous role in producing Brickleberry, they're hardly industry titans. MarVista, meanwhile, is an obscure company that produces direct-to-Tubi b-movies. How did they even find them? You have to be in pretty deep Hans Landa territory to turn up the founder of fucking Bento Box.

Over in HBO, we find another citation of a non-executive: director Barry Levinson, who...made some TV movies for them? This is enough in their eyes? I'm starting to think these people are crazed Nazi antisemites who think an organization having any contact with a Jewish person at any point taints it forever

In Disney, we find Marvel, which was not founded by Stan Lee, and Steven Spielberg, director, cited as the key figure behind...LucasFilm?

Claims like these are everywhere on X and Bluesky, and strangely enough not so much any other media. Let's figure out if cancer really was cured after the US (vaguely implied to have been suppressing the cure) left the WHO in January 2026

Pancreatic Cancer:

On January 27th Mariano Barbacid claimed to have cured pancreatic cancer in mice, but his study on this was published in December, before the US left the World Health Organization, and it was only in January that he asked for funding to pursue his cure (this El Pais article is one of the few sources digging into the claim and not citing the same clickbait, so it's my main source here)

Similar events occurred in 2011, when he claimed to have cured lung cancer, in mice, and immediately asked for funding. He was rebuked by the Spanish Ministry of Science for announcing results in mice as relevant to humans. The linked article includes scientists criticizing him for going to the press to call it a "cure for cancer" instead of a promising step. Indeed, a University of Pennsylvania team led by Ben Stanger discovered a similar therapy earlier in 2025 without the same amount of media attention.

All in all it paints a picture of something that happens very routinely, even before to the same scientist: a promising study of a potential treatment for cancer in mice that was blown up by the media into a imminent cure for cancer in humans. Regardless, it wasn't being conspiratorially suppressed until the US left WHO, because the study was announced beforehand, and an American team did similar research in 2025.

Colon Cancer

This is referring to South Korean scientists discovering a potential way to reverse colon cancer. Something first reported in 2024, well before the US left WHO.

Colorectal Cancer

This was apparently cured by Chinese scientists; this is a reference to Peixuan Guo, who found an RNA therapy to remove cancer...in mice. This is, once again, a promising treatment in mice that's yet to be tested in humans that the media seized upon.

As an aside, part of the reason conspiratorial claims that They are hiding the "cure for cancer" is because of sensationalist media coverage highlighting potential treatments way before they're ready for primetime. These stories happen all the time, and eventually either it becomes a treatment (not cure) we use or is discarded, but all the public sees is a stream of Cures for Cancer that seemingly vanish.

As for whether this was suppressed until the United States until they left WHO: Peixuan Guo conducted this research at...Ohio State University.

HPV

This is a reference to Eva Ramón Gallegos, who eradicated HPV in 29 women. In 2019. This is real research, but an older story that was brought up and framed as something new in order to cash in on the viral narrative after the pancreatic cancer claim took off.

Blood cancer

This refers to a study in Vietnam announced last year - again, before the US' departure from WHO was complete. But it is being inaccurately reported; it's not a cure on "blood cancers", it's a treatment using cell therapy that helped one patient with acute childhood leukemia. This is good and promising, but was never claimed to be a "cure for cancer" until the press got hold of it and twisted it to fit a current narrative

Anyway let's look at the ones in the other tweet

Breast cancer

I cannot find out what this is a reference to. I just find crank stories from the MAHA sphere

Lung cancer

I think this may be a reference to the colorectal cancer cure. Otherwise I just get a bunch of stories about ivermectin

Prostate cancer

This seems to be the same story as the one about colon cancer; otherwise I'm not finding a source story they're responding to

Stomach cancer

Yeah, for all these I'm just finding nothing but tweets insisting stomach cancer was "cured". Like, you would think that EVERY CANCER being cured would spawn a few news stories, at least, but no! It's just tweets claiming it was cured with no further information

Liver cancer

"Cancer cured" and ivermectin posts

Thyroid cancer

"Cancer cured" and ivermectin posts

Bladder Cancer

I found this study from 2025 for a treatment eliminating it in patients, but again, it's just "cancer cured" and ivermectin posts, with no citations of it, so I don't know if that spawned this

Esophageal Cancer

"Cancer cured" and ivermectin posts

So let's take tally:

Five real cancer treatments, none of which are cancer cures as far as we know yet, that went viral. The only one that was new was the colorectal cancer one, which was discovered in the United States. The others are largely from 2024 or 2025 and one as old as 2019.

Eight random ones thrown in without any clear source story. You would think the lack of any news stories about EVERY CANCER being cured would make some people get sus, but no

Let's just state what should be obvious: these types of stories happen all the time, and do not indicate a cure for cancer "being suppressed".

ABC News (Australia) has debunked this image claiming there was a spike of searches for one of the Bondi Beach attacker's names in Tel Aviv days before the attack, and I, too, have been unable to replicate this spike, but let's just step back and think about the implication here. Conspiracy theorists thrive on finding "clues" that are...suspiciously easy to find. In some theories, this ease becomes text, with theorists claiming the clues are planted for them to find (like 9/11 truthers claiming they were "predictive programming"). In others, it's unexamined. If the implication here is that it's a false flag, why on earth would they sit down and google one of the attackers one hundred times a day beforehand?

Verdict: False

On November 16th, X account Red Pill Media posted a claim that went viral across the internet, largely unchallenged - that Grok had blocked translation of Hebrew.

Objectively this is not hard to disprove, and it's not hard to figure out what happened.

For one: this is showing two things. One is that Grok, which auto-translates tweets in other languages, didn't translate this post. Meanwhile, the pop-up is from iOS' translation tool. It is not saying it's "blocked" from translating Hebrew, it's simply saying that it's not a currently available language in iOS translation, which is true - it offers far fewer languages than Google translate:

Going through the X feed of the linked account confirms why Grok didn't translate it. Other posts on it translate just fine...

...but this one doesn't, because it also has English text, which likely confused the AI.

I confirmed this is the case with other tweets referencing the name of this group. Another claim is that this only triggers on Hebrew posts with hateful content, but this post is just a list of members of a new music group and who made their new song, so it's hard to see how that would trigger such a rule.

It's easy to confirm other accounts that post in Hebrew are translated without incident, no matter their content:

Our only source confirming that Grok blocked translation of Hebrew is...

Grok.

Grok is used to prove the misdeeds of Grok: as we can see, it's pretty simple to debunk this, but instead everyone just asked Grok, the AI that famously never lies, and accepted its answer, while asking some followup questions:

Verdict: False

On July 28th, 2025 a man named Shane Devon Tamura opened fire in a midtown Manhattan skyscraper, killing four people and then himself. In the aftermath, his motivation became fairly clear: a former high school football player, he left a note attacking the NFL, whose offices are in the skyscraper he attacked; it appears he started his attack in the lobby, and then took the wrong elevator and missed their offices.

But Laura Loomer has other ideas.

Attached is a short (37 second) clip of a woman claiming to be a witness saying that the shooter was shouting "Free Palestine"

To be clear, there is no evidence of this. The killer was not wearing anything on his head, and he was not Middle Eastern. And his motivations are clear: he had two notes on him explaining them.

But that leaves the mystery of what this photo, constantly attached to the case, represents:

Initially claimed to be the shooter, and then claimed to be an accomplice, every citation of this story comes from the New York Post, who claim that two protestors were arrested when they wandered into the active shooting situation and started saying "Free Palestine! I'm not the shooter!" The Murdoch-owned Post is obviously not a reliable source, but they're not the source of this image. But screencaps of the original story let us find it:

The story has now changed completely, and no longer has the photo, and the original does not appear to be in the Wayback Machine, though we can recognize it's the same as the url still has the original headline, to reflect new information. It also has an editor's note attached:

Source: Tumblr

Verdict: False

Analysis: Smallpox and polio are different diseases

Veridct: False conspiracy theory bullshit. Obviously.

Weird racists, of both the Netanyahu & Trump supporter variety, are trying to discredit the outrage around Khalil by claiming that he hired a "fake wife" who looked "more American" to appear at a press conference.

Obviously, this isn't true. Notably, every post about this uses exclusively images - even though the original tweet is a video. And if we watch the video...

...it's his lawyer. Of course it is. The entire framing is nonsense that only works if you're also a weird racist creep, bc what does "Western-looking" even mean?

Now, whoever first shared this knew that - they had to, in order to get the right screencap to lie about its contents. They seized on an admittedly poorly written tweet that included a quote from his wife over a video of his lawyer without making it clear it was the lawyer saying it, making it easy for them to spin a story to gullible conspiracy types about how it's a different woman (I looked up the original post's author, and he is a crypto & Epstein list guy, since that is the only type of guy left on Twitter no matter what else they support). His tweet was copied by "Open Source Intelligence" accounts (if you're only familiar with OSINT from outlets like Bellingcat, it's been a trend that social media platforms, from Twitter to Bluesky, are being flooded by "OSINT" accounts that...just share news videos they see) and spread further, and now it's the crux of the argument of some weird crisis actor conspiracy theory

So in their eyes Taylor Swift sold her music rights to George Soros, and now she's TIME's Person of the Year, which "doesn't come cheap". Ahuh.

Yeah man, Taylor Swift losing the rights to her own songs, famously a thing she did willingly and wasn't extremely outraged about. I don't even listen to Taylor and I know what "(Taylor's Version)" means

Also, he didn't expose anything! Taylor Swift herself spoke about a Soros buying her music rights in 2020! And it wasn't George Soros, it was his adult son Alex, who's best buds with Scooter Braun. This isn't a conspiracy he unraveled. It's a shitty rich kid engaging in thoroughly routine shitty rich kid behavior with his friends. George Soros isn't involved in any way and may not even know about it since it's all through Alex's company, and Alex Soros doesn't even own the recordings in full, he just invested in Braun's purchase of them. This was all widely documented three years ago!

Anyway this originates with Laura Loomer, who asked: did she get the rights to her music back in exchange for...a get out the vote campaign?

Taylor Swift is the most popular entertainer in the world. Everyone knows about this. Except for conservatives who are confused.

Their smoking gun: she has to have the rights to her music back if she's doing old songs on the Eras tour! Checkmate liberals!!!

Something unremittingly bleak about a goddamn country starting "crisis actor" conspiracy theories to deny their crimes. A term invented to deny the deaths of children at Sandy Hook in 2012 is now used to deny the deaths of children in Gaza in 2023.

As the community note says, this isn't a crisis actor. This is a guy who posts on Instagram. A influencer who posts videos online of breaking events...is seen at a lot of breaking events. To Israel, this is a sign of a conspiracy. In fact, some of those images aren't even him, or aren't even related to Palestine at all; one image included in other posts targeting Saleh Aljafarawi is a Halloween costume from Thailand. That article says "pro-Israeli accounts" tweeted this, but it's the literal, official Twitter account of Israel posting this shit, next to their comedy sketches that somehow make trans people the punchline bc fascists only have one joke the whole world wide I guess

They didn't caption it...it could be about anything. Where did anyone get the idea it was about abortion? That's up to your interpretation

Anyway, EVERY OTHER COMMENT they left on it looks like this

"The leftists are accusing me of being anti-abortion again for making literally hundreds of comments about how I much I hate abortion! What ever happened to, civil discussion,"
