Lebanese Emigrants Take their Home-Grown Corruption with Them to Their New Countries

Alex Saab

Not a week goes by without news of Lebanese emigrants or their descendants being caught in huge corruption scams and schemes.

Lebanon is one of the most corrupt places on earth. Lebanese people carry an indelible phenotype, which I suspect is based on a dominant genotype, of a Mafia-like mindset. They are very quick at picking up vulnerabilities in any system they happen to operate in, and immediately and instinctively design schemes to exploit such vulnerability.

The entire country is run by political, feudal, religious, financial Mafias that control people's lives. When you're born and bred in such an incubator of corruption, you take those skills with you wherever you go, including to the new countries to which you emigrate. It's truly uncanny. As soon as an average Lebanese is faced with a limitation or a restriction imposed by laws and regulations, his/her brain spontaneously and immediately scans various options to circumvent such a limitation. Breaking the law is an atavistic innate character of the Lebanese mindset.

In their countries of emigration, Lebanese emigrants are suddenly transposed from chaos, anarchy and lawlessness to order, rules and regulations. Having spent lives surviving in Darwinian lawlessness, they have adapted by developing an acute state of constant alert, just as would be the case in the jungle for example. They grow up hearing, seeing and experiencing their parents' survival skills - how to seek help from holders of power, how to bribe, how to kiss the ring, and really just about anything that bypasses the rules.

In fact, they pride themselves at that skill...It is so engrained in the fabric that they teach it to their children by repeating over and over again - إن لم تكن ذئباً أكلتك الذئاب - which translates roughly into "it's a Dog-eat-dog world" (A literal translation is "If you're not a wolf, the wolves will eat you"), whereby you've got to survive no matter what, including to be willing to break the law.

Anyone - say, a Lebanese emigrant on a return visit who has lived in a Rule of Law system long enough to appreciate its benefits - who argues with the resident Lebanese that such behavior is illegal and immoral and keeps the country in the Stone Age is treated like some sort of a deranged imbecile or a weakling. Kindness, politeness, going-by-the-book is castigated as weak and stupid. Enter a store anywhere in Lebanon where the buyer and seller are meeting for the first time - i.e. they have not being introduced by mutual friends or relatives, and the seller rarely says the customary hello, thank you and goodbye. Doing business and making money are so obsessive that they override any other consideration.

Why has such a Mafia mindset seeped into the Lebanese psyche is due to many decades, if not centuries, of living in endless wars under rotating foreign occupations that ally themselves with local feudal lords, warlords, religious Neanderthals and financial crooks, so much so that corruption has become an instinct, a way of life, an automatic modus operandi.

In most countries of emigration where laws, rules and regulations are implemented, the people of these countries do not live in a state of alert, unlike in Lebanon. Their administrations generally work well, and people who complain about bureaucratic red tape still trust the system because they are not subjected to blackmail and swindling to get their business moving. Upon landing in such new countries, the Lebanese immigrant immediately senses that these countries' bureaucrats and citizens are more sedate and rarely suspect corruption lurking around. That is a golden opportunity for Lebanese immigrants to abuse what he sees as a vulnerability.

I cannot help make a connection between this state of affairs and the constant reporting about some Lebanese immigrant - even second and third generation immigrant - caught in a web of corruption somewhere around the planet.

To wit, the Alex Saab gentleman below (Saab in Lebanese means "difficult"), this Mr. Difficult as it were, is, not surprisingly, an ally of the dictator Maduro and is now pursued by justice for money laundering and fraud. Upon hearing such news, the resident Lebanese snicker in pride at how the Lebanese are smartasses who always find ways to beat the system.

Mr. "Difficult" Saab in Venezuela was named head of an "International Center for Productive Investment", a name that lends itself to an immense Ali Baba's cave,  a treasure trove of corruption. Google or AI Query "Alex Saab Biography" and read about this man whose notoriety as a corrupt businessman-politician is likely to be celebrated by Lebanon.

That is why this blog was named "Lebanon iznogood" some twenty years ago. The funny thing is that Lebanese leave their country because of rampant corruption. But when they land in a new country, they themselves become the agents of corruption. I told you, they just can't help it.

Here are the results of a quick AI search for Lebanese exporting corruption to their countries of emigration:

Several recent cases involving Lebanese nationals or immigrants have been linked to corruption and illicit financial activities:

Jean Nassif (Australia): A fugitive Lebanese-Australian property developer is currently testifying via video link from Beirut to the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC). He faces allegations of bribing politicians and making prohibited political donations to influence development approvals in Sydney. An international arrest warrant was issued for fraud in 2023.

Hezbollah Financing (Kuwait): In September 2026, a Lebanese national was sentenced to 10 years in prison in Kuwait, alongside three Kuwaitis, for joining and funding Hezbollah. The court also imposed a fine of KD 6.283 million.

Lebanese Diaspora Networks: A report by the Washington Institute details how Lebanese diaspora communities in the U.S., Europe, and Africa have been used by Hezbollah for money laundering, counterfeiting, and drug trafficking. These networks often operate through front companies and criminal "useful idiots" who funnel profits back to Lebanon.

Lebanon’s Oil Scandal: While not involving immigrants abroad, a major ongoing corruption probe in Lebanon involves sanctioned oil trades linked to a global shadow fleet. Financial prosecutors have filed charges against companies like Iplom and Sahara Energy Resources for fraud and illicit enrichment, leading to at least three judicial investigations.

Lebanese emigration is heavily driven by systemic corruption, which is cited by 24% of potential migrants in 2024 as a primary reason for leaving, up from 16% in 2022. This "brain drain" is fueled by entrenched patronage networks, poor enforcement of anti-corruption laws, and the resulting economic collapse, which has pushed the most educated Lebanese to seek opportunities abroad.

The most prominent recent case is that of Lebanese immigrant Jean Nassif, a fugitive property developer who fled Australia to Lebanon in December 2022. He is currently under investigation by the NSW ICAC in Australia for allegedly channeling prohibited political donations to the NSW Liberal Party's "Reformers" faction to influence government approvals for his developments. Nassif appeared via video link from Beirut in September 2026, admitting to offering $1 million to faction members and boasting of controlling "50 per cent of the power" in the state government, though he denies the specific allegations of fraud and bribery.

Other contexts include:

Border Exploitation: A shadow network of brokers in Lebanon exploits Syrian refugees, charging up to 60 times the official entry fee ($4,700 for annual residency vs. $75 official fee) through bribes and kickbacks.

Elite Enrichment: The Pandora Papers revealed that Lebanese political elites, including former Prime Minister Najib Mikati, used offshore companies to drain billions from the country while ordinary citizens suffered economic collapse.

Immigration Fraud: U.S. ICE has deported Lebanese nationals, such as Mahmoud Bazzi (2015), for fraudulently obtaining immigration benefits by lying about their entry status.

Maduro ally Alex Saab pleads guilty to money laundering, fraud

Colombian-Venezuelan businessman Alex Saab pleads guilty in US federal court to laundering proceeds from a bribery and fraud scheme involving Venezuelan officials and government contracts.

Alex Saab, a Colombian-Venezuelan businessman and close ally of former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, pleaded guilty in a US federal court to laundering proceeds from a bribery and fraud scheme.

Saab, a former Venezuelan minister of industry, admitted on Tuesday before US District Judge Kathleen Williams in Miami to organising a system of bribes to Venezuelan officials, enabling companies he secretly controlled to win government contracts to import food and medicine.

According to the US Justice Department, the fraudulent contracts fell under CLAP, a Venezuelan welfare programme meant to distribute subsidised food to the public during the country's economic collapse.

The US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida said in a statement that Saab and his associates "used fake companies, false invoices and fraudulent shipping records to skim hundreds of millions of dollars" meant for public benefit, later laundering the proceeds through shell companies abroad, including in the United States.

Assistant Attorney General A Tysen Duva of the Justice Department's Criminal Division said that Saab "created a complex web of front companies, shell accounts, and false records to perpetuate his scheme, win lucrative public contracts, and line his own pockets as well as his conspirators".

Saab also admitted exploiting his ties to Venezuelan officials to gain access to oil owned by state firm PDVSA, selling it under false pretences as US sanctions squeezed the country's finances.

Saab pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy to launder monetary instruments, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years.

As part of the plea deal, he agreed to forfeit $195m in criminal proceeds and to cooperate with continuing federal investigations. Prosecutors agreed to recommend a sentence at the low end of the range, and to seek further reductions if his cooperation proves substantial.

A sentencing date has not been set.

The case marks Saab's second prosecution in the US. He was first arrested in Cape Verde in 2020 and extradited to face similar charges, before former US President Joe Biden granted him clemency in December 2023 as part of a prisoner exchange with Venezuela.

A new indictment followed in January, and Saab was deported to the US in May by Venezuela's interim government under pressure from Washington, months after the US removed Maduro from power and brought him to US soil.

US Attorney Jason Reding Quinones said the case "sends a clear message: political connections, wealth and proximity to a corrupt regime will not put anyone beyond the reach of American justice".

Earlier Zionist Rapists of Palestine Say Recent Zionist Rapists are TERRORISTS. Hahahaaaa

Israeli soldiers protecting Zionist settler terrorists who want to kill Palestinian villagers of Qusra. The Israeli army either encourages the Zionist terrorists or stands indifferent as the latter kill, slash and burn. Believing the Zionist lie (aimed at credulous and naive western audiences) that the Israeli army is unbiased is itself  naive. The Israeli army is the arm of the Netanyahu government of right wing fundamentalists in implementing its genocide of Palestinians.

Go figure. Finally. After a century of barbarism, a third of "Israelis" - i.e. The earlier stock of terrorist rapists of Palestine - now see their ideological progeny, the current batch of Zionist settler rapists, as "terrorists". Hahahahaaaaa...

The earlier generation of Zionist rapists plundered, raped, pillaged and terrorized the native indigenous Palestinians between the 1930s and the 1970s, dispossessing them of their lands and towns and evicting a good third of them into Palestinian refugee camps where they've been rotting ever since.

That generation of now "respectable" Zionist terrorists were, for the most part, not practitioners of the Jewish religion their ancestors had converted to a few centuries earlier. They were modern European socialists, communists, atheists who dreamed of replacing the ancient stone houses and olive groves of the indigenous Palestinians with soulless collective Kibbutzim - a variation on the Sovkhoz and Kolkoz communist villages of the USSR that these earlier Zionists brought with them from Sovietized Central and Eastern Europe.

Now, having become gentrified over the corpses of the Palestinians they had mass murdered and over the course of the 1950s to the 1990s, they now see the new crop of Zionist terrorist settlers, whose barbarism is no different from their own barbarism of 1948 but who are fundamentalist ultra-religious (instead of atheist socialists), as TERRORISTS. It would be funny but for the tragic consequences this whole Zionist masquerade has had on the real owners of the land, the indigenous Palestinians.

This is no different from the earlier white European barbarians who settled the American continent and perpetrated perhaps the grossest act of ethnic cleansing in human history: anywhere between 50 and 100 million indigenous Amerindians were murdered by the Spanish, French, Dutch, English etc. colonial settlers of America. Their civilized "American" descendants now claim they are against ethnic cleansing and genocide and are a-la-carte defenders of human rights. They don't take the adage "what's good for the goose is good for the gander" too seriously.

Similarly, the now "civilized" Zionists, who have mutated from illegal migrant terrorists to "Israelis", have turned amnesic about their own history. They say (but I don't believe these hypocrites) they are against the current settlers and their ongoing rape of what is left of Palestine (West Bank, Gaza), but rarely admit that they themselves and their parents practiced the same scorched earth terrorism against the Palestinians during much of the 20th century. 

If they are such soft-hearted liberals, why don't they repent for their crimes by allowing all the Palestinian refugees rotting in all the camps around and inside Palestine to return to the West Bank and Gaza: They'd solve two major problems: The return of Palestinian refugees back to their Palestine would disrupt the programmed extermination of Palestinians by the new crop of Jewish Zionist terrorists, and would create the necessary goodwill for a just solution and the foundation for the forgiveness that the Palestinians may ultimately be willing to offer their tormentors, the Israelis.

Poll: A third of Israelis call settler rioters ‘terrorists’
Deborah Danan/JTA
Wed, September 16, 2026 

A new survey finds one-third of Israelis describe Jewish rioters involved in recent West Bank violence as "Israeli terrorists," while another 18% call them "nationalist criminals."

A third of Israelis describe Jewish rioters [Calling these criminals "rioters" is akin to calling the Islamist terrorists of Al-Qaeda or ISIS "objectors of conscience"] involved in recent violence in the West Bank village of Kusra as "Israeli terrorists," according to a survey released Monday by the Jewish People Policy Institute.

Coupled with another 18% who called them "nationalist criminals," the results demonstrate the degree to which the rioters, whose actions have roiled Israel's relations with its allies, including the Trump administration, are outliers in Israel, JPPI President Yedidia Stern said.

"The survey shows that support among Israelis for the Jewish rioters [The Jerusalem Post exercises self-censored hypocrisy by calling these murderous religious barbarian terrorists as "rioters"] in the West Bank is truly negligible, at just 5%," Stern said in a release accompanying the poll. "More than half the public judges them very harshly, as terrorists or criminals, while others view them with varying degrees of severity. This represents an unusually broad consensus in Israel's polarized society."

Only 13% of the respondents chose one of the two most lenient descriptions: "young people who sometimes go too far" or "the salt of the earth." [Yeah, why not add some of your other putrid slogans, like "The light unto nations" or The Chosen Ones"]

The government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has come under pressure from the Trump administration and European nations to crack down on the rioters [colonial terrorists]. Netanyahu has until recently resisted serious action, mindful that a significant portion of his coalition includes far-right parties sympathetic to varying degrees with the rioters. Earlier this month, Netanyahu ordered some of the outposts associated with the rioters removed.

Left, center, right differ sharply on labeling rioters

Views on the rioters differed according to political affiliation. Sixty-three percent of respondents on the left described the rioters as "Israeli terrorists," compared with 49% in the center and just 3% on the right.

Arab Israelis were also more likely to use the term, at 55%, compared with 27% of Jewish Israelis.

The survey referred to a recent incident in Kusra in which dozens of masked Israelis arrived in pickup trucks, threw stones at Palestinian residents and barricaded themselves inside a Palestinian home while members of the family were still inside, according to the Israeli military. Several Palestinians were wounded, and the rioters fled when security forces arrived. No arrests were made.

[Arkansas Moron Ambassador] Huckabee condemns Kusra incident as a "horrific act of terror".

The incident came weeks after another confrontation in Kusra in which Israeli settlers set up an unauthorized outpost beside Palestinian homes. US Ambassador Mike Huckabee condemned that episode at the time as a "horrific act of terror" meant to "intimidate and harass" families.

The survey was conducted September 1-3 among 663 Jewish respondents and 206 Arab respondents and weighted to represent Israel's adult population. JPPI did not list a margin of error.

American Millennials and Their Distrust of Genocidal Israel

Please watch this and learn how the now exposed obsolete Zionist Colony in Palestine has degraded in the minds of a younger and more enlightened generation of Americans who now KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT THE RAPE OF PALESTINE.

All colonial rapists have a built-in programmed obsolescence by the very nature of their genesis. To my friends the German, Polish, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Czech, French and other Eastern and Central European settlers of Palestine, dust off the passports of your real European homelands, or apply for new ones, or apply for passports for your children, the time to go home may be around the corner. If Europe is no longer for you, then the United States of America, your only friend hanging by a thread might be the place to go and settle. Like South Afrikaner Nazis who eventually had to move aside or pack and leave - Donald Dumb wants them all - I am sure he would want all of you, except the dark-skinned ones of Iran, Yemen, North Africa and Ethiopia, because the rest of you are all white, red-haired/blonde, and blue eyed, with a Nazi streak in you. Too bad you're highly inbred and struck with multiple genetic disorders, but ICE, CBP and USCIS will turn a blind eye and accept you; they already have a highly inbred white trash founding stock in Amish country with "homelands" in Pennsylvania and Indiana, highly inbred white trash English-Scottish founding stocks with "homelands" in Appalachia and the southern states. May I suggest Montana or Idaho as your future "homeland" in America - Canadian Saskatchewan is fine too - plenty of land, lots of icy winters like in Eastern and Central Europe whence you came from and very sparsely inhabited. In fact, there are far fewer white trash people to displace from those states in 2026 than the indigenous Palestinians you began to exterminate in 1920 in Palestine, so it should be a breeze to conquer. And, the best part of it all, there won't be any Arab and Muslim Allah-crazies around you. You'll have friends with whom to celebrate the Judeo-Christian bullshit for centuries to come.

All your predecessor colonial settlers around the world had to pack up and leave one day. White South Afrikaners did it. French settlers of Algeria did it. English settlers of India did it. French settlers of Indochina (Vietnam, Cambodia...) did it. Morish Arab Muslims of Spain did it. Turkish Ottoman settlers of Southeastern Europe did it. European Crusader settlers of the Near East, including Palestine, did it. Russian Soviet settlers and rapists of Central Asia and the Caucasus did it. The list is endless. Is the Zionist colony in Palestine any different? 

Unless you really believe that some Big Zombie in the Sky (variably known as El, Yahweh, Baal, Dios, Deus, Zeus, Dieu, Gott, God, Great Spirit, Allah, Alaha....) imagined by Arab desert nomads (known as Hebrews) some 3,000 years ago, decided some 3-4 millennia ago after millions of years of Darwinian human evolution (hunger, wars, diseases, rapes, incest, pillaging and plunder, etc.) to finally intervene in human affairs to calm things down, chose one filthy camel herding tribe as his favorite among thousands of other human groups, and gifted it a piece of land in the Eastern Mediterranean on condition his favorite pet people massacre its indigenous Canaanite inhabitants - men, women, children, and their animals - Unless you seriously believe this Hebrew garbage mythology, you cannot morally or legally accept that the 20th-century criminal Euro-trash settlers of Palestine have the right to illegally migrate to Palestine, kill millions of indigenous Palestinians, evict millions into refugee camps, and continue to torment and torture those who decided to stay in their homes and lands. 

If, on the other hand, you believe that all humans are indeed equal and have equal rights, that no one should be evicted from his/her birthplace and that one genocide does not justify another, then you must agree that a colonial criminal rogue state like Israel has to be held accountable to its victims, the Palestinian people.

Please watch. Millennials are about to dismantle the last chessboard of colonial barbarity, and begin building a new fair-to-play chessboard.

Adulterer Texan MAGA Moron and Candidate for Governor Ken Paxton Fears Bad Publicity

A couple of years ago, the Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was accused of adultery by his wife Angela Paxton as the basis for her filing for divorce. As primitive ultra-religious morons from the backward state of Texas, she cited “biblical grounds”. These people live in the 21st century according to a garbage parchment written by ignorant Arabian Desert nomads known as Hebrews some 3,000 years ago.

Now Paxton, who claims to live by the Judeo-Christian Sharia Law of the Torah, has committed adultery. If truthful to their otherwise bigoted beliefs, the jerk and his paramour adulteress have to be publicly stoned to death. Instead, the fornicating Republican MAGA imbecile - just like his idol Donald Dumb - attacks people who witness his dissolute conduct and has the gall to run for Governor after degrading the already primitive state of Texas during his stunt as Attorney General.

I don't expect the bigoted Texas Christians with reptilian brains to hold the fornicating jerk accountable for violating the Judeo-Christian Sharia Law. They will still vote for him for proving he's a "real man". 

Here, he was caught with his paramour sinner fornicating in secret out of sight of his herd of Texan imbeciles far, far away on the streets of English London. He, the freedom-loving dumb American, doesn't have the freedom to display his Gonadal Liberty in the Land of the Free. He has to sneak out to a foreign country to consummate his sexual profligacy.

He's one of those bigoted conservative Americans who want to erect the Ten Commandments everywhere in his sand-blown state, hunt decent hard-working immigrants, and otherwise persecute anyone who is not a straight (albeit fornicating adulterer) white fake Christian neanderthal like him.

Just ask AI to run the stats for you about all the Evangelical pastors, reverends, elders, preachers and other conservative politicians in Texas who have been caught with their pants down with other men's wives and underage children.

Ken Paxton Accused of Lunging at Tourist Who Filmed Him With Mistress

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was accused of attempting to take a tourist's phone after being filmed with his alleged mistress in London.

Texas Attorney General and GOP U.S. Senate nominee Ken Paxton was accused of lunging at an American tourist and attempting to take his phone after the man filmed the Republican walking with his alleged mistress in London.

The tourist, who spoke anonymously to the Daily Mail in an article published on Monday, said the July 1 encounter occurred on Westminster Bridge, near the London Eye, while he and his wife were sightseeing.

According to the man, he recognized Paxton walking with Tracy Duhon, with whom the Mail previously reported Paxton has been having an affair, and recorded an 18-second video of the pair. The footage was later published by the outlet.

The tourist said he had already walked away when he felt someone bump his left shoulder and turned to find Paxton beside him.

"Were you filming me back there?" Paxton allegedly asked.

After the tourist acknowledged that he had, Paxton allegedly told him, "You can't do that."

"I stopped because I was just hot, and I said, 'I can absolutely film you. You're a public figure in a public place, and I can film you all I want,'" the man recalled.

The tourist claimed Paxton then demanded to see the footage and "lunged for my phone."

"He says, 'You can't do that. Let me have your phone. I want your phone,' and then at this point it's a confrontation," he told the Mail. "He's yelling at me, and I'm telling him to back off. He lunged at the phone a second time and tried to force it from me."

The man's wife said she began running toward the pair after realizing there was a confrontation and pulled out her own phone after her husband yelled for her to record.

The couple alleged Paxton walked away once he saw the second phone. Duhon was not present during the alleged confrontation.

The tourist said he reported the incident to London's Metropolitan Police but has not pursued criminal charges. He said he was not injured and no punches were thrown.

Paxton's campaign did not respond to the Mail's request for comment about the allegations.

Paxton, who is separated but remains legally married, is running against Democrat James Talarico for U.S. Senate. The Mail reported that Duhon divorced her husband in 2025.

The post Ken Paxton Accused of Lunging at Tourist Who Filmed Him With Mistress first appeared on Mediaite.

White American Male Wayne Lee Unloads on Trump

Transcript of a TikTok post by Mr. Wayne Lee. He never uses the word “moron”, though, like I do when talking about Trump and his MAGA herd.

See it on: https://tiktok.com/@waynelistenup/video/7684099332399779103?_r=1&_t=ZS-99jC80m8BLI

Transcript starts with Trump hollering his lies as usual at his most recent MAGA rally.

------------------------------------------

[Trump]: Only I can make this promise to you, and this is my promise:

If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States senate, both of them, because of our economic, tremendous economic success, like in history we’ve never had anything like what’s happening, but because of our tremendous strength, success economically, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for 5,000 dollars.

[Crowd]: Yeaah, whoa, yeaah…

[Wayne Lee]: This is where we are. That the president of the United States is bribing people of the United States with 5,000 dollar checks that will never come, in order to win an election.

This is how far we’ve fallen.

And you know the sad part… before we get to the rapist? Did you hear his audience?

It’s like a clan rally with [inaudible]… Whoa, yeaah… Whatever he says.

“The earth is flat”… Whoa, yeaah…

“Woke”… Whoa, yeaah…

“Transgenders”… Whoa, yeaah…

They’re like a bunch of lemmings

It’s a cult

Whatever he says they just agree with it.

How’s that 5,000$ dose check coming along?

How many videos did we see of [inaudible] MAGAs celebrating, going “Trump’s the best, Biden, sleepy Joe Biden would never do this”.

Where’s your check?

Oh, that’s right

How about the $2,000 tariff check?

Oh, he took that to the supreme court, fought it. Didn’t get that either.

How about the $1,000 ACA Obama subsidy that’s supposed to come back?

“Oh, but trust me bro. This time, just help me win so I can complete my Fascist takeover of America. It’s on its way, trust me bro.”

Just like he was gonna stop the war on Ukraine on day one. How’s that going?

Just like he was gonna release his taxes.

Just like he was gonna give you a healthcare plan. He told you, dumbasses, he had concepts of a healthcare plan.

“Yeaah, whoa, yeaah…”

He’s so smart, he owns the [inaudible]

The economy, the debt is at 40 trillion dollars, and one third of that is from this dumbass.

We got people that are living paycheck to paycheck

People can’t find work

Two months ago, we went negative 26,000 jobs.

The only reason we had growth this last month… is because teachers went back to work. That was the only reason. He did nothing about it.

We’re doing trade wars with everybody.

We have a war in Iran for 6 months that we can’t get out of, that has raised the price of everything, including gas, including diesel, which is causing people to go out of business.

And 18 people that served this country, unfortunately sacrificed their lives for a president that wants to deflect from the fact that he is a child molester.

And here he is on the stage at this clan rally telling you “We’re number one… no one’s ever seen anything like this.” And right after that, he is going to go and play golf or go on vacation or go take a nap.

This is where we are as a country.

The lowest white man is what we’re seeing.

I always think of the LBJ quote that “This country will vote for the lowest white man”, the most morally bankrupt, lying piece of human excrement.

Hell, give him somebody to look down on and they will take your wallet…this country would rather burn to the ground than thrive under vice-president Kamala Harris, the most qualified person who happens to be a black woman.

That is what we’re seen.

That is exactly what we’re seeing.

Pete Hegseth is basically an alcoholic and a cheater. Right? Fueled on toxic masculinity.

And then you have Jeanine Pirro who is basically a washed-up Fox News host who drinks wine out of a box and has the IQ of an acorn.

You got RFK that is lying about vaccines saying that they cause autism. The man had so many affairs on his first wife that she took her own life. He saws off the heads of whales and puts them on his car and drops off dead bears in the park.

You got Kash Patel who is flying his hooker girlfriend around on our tax dollars to go to her shitty ass concerts and fly across the ocean to get drunk with the US hockey team.

You got Todd Blanche who is Trump’s personal attorney speaking at this event, which is completely ridiculous, unethical at the most, illegal I don’t know, talking about brown people committing crimes while he’s defending child molesters and won’t even meet with the Epstein survivors.

We are being run by a bunch of clowns, and let’s not even forget that Nazi Stephen Miller who wants 100  white people in America.

This is what 77 million people voted for.

You voted for the mediocre white man, and this what you get.

This has to happen. Every person that is racist that voted for this, and even us that didn’t vote for this human pile of trash, you’re gonna have to suffer. There has to be a point in this country when America comes to a reckoning about white supremacy in this country, and that’s exactly what Donald Trump is.

He didn’t create these people. They were trash before and they will be trash afterwards unless they suffer the effects of their selfishness, their racism, their white supremacy, their bigotry, and their misogyny.

That’s the only way. They’re gonna have to lose their farms, lose their houses, lose their fertilizers, be out of jobs, lose their healthcare, foreclose on their homes, there’s no way around it. It has to happen.

I’m gonna tell you a story, because I told it before, it’s important. In Yellowstone there was a seed called a Lodgepole Pine. And it has a resin on the outside of it. And these seeds will sit on the ground for years, months or decades.

The only way for that seed to germinate is for the outer resin coating to go away. The only thing that removes that resin is temperatures in excess of about 140 F. A fire.

Things have to burn down in order for that new growth to come.

It doesn’t care if you’re black, white, man, woman, Latino, Hispanic, if you’re a deer, a spider, an antelope, a tree, or a tent. It doesn’t care. It’s not gonna care if you’re a republican or a democrat.

And that’s what’s happening. We haven’t even hit the worst part of this mediocre white man. Of this lowest white man’s presidency. When these midterms come, it’s gonna get a lot worse. He’s gonna get more unhinged, more racist, and more xenophobic.

But you know what? That’s what America deserves. And for the people that didn’t vote for him, you silence has been complicit, in part, in creating what MAGA is. I don’t care if you like it. A leader is not a searcher of consensus; they’re a molder of consensus.

Leaders tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.

Nothing I’m saying is untrue. It might be uncomfortable but that doesn’t mean that I’m wrong.

This is what we have. A white supremacist bribing people with 5,000 dollars, lying to your faces, because he is going to lose the elections.

Have the day you voted for, America.

Like the US, Israel's Circle of Friends Shrinks to Insignificant Pacific Islands

At the UN, the insignificant and bribed Marshall Islands has always been the only "nation" to vote with the US, while the rest of some 200 countries vote against.

Since genocidal Israel has now even been shunned by its own midwife, the crooks of England, it has very few friends left around the world. After decades of unchallenged Zionist propaganda that owned the press, the media and Hollywood, the freedom of access to information now made possible by the new technologies has now exposed the Zionist lies. All the myths fed to a credulous and captive world about the creation of the Zionist monster in the Near East have now crumbled.

The barbary and savagery of how Israel was created some 80 years ago - long occulted and distorted to favor the Zionist racist colonial narrative - are repeating themselves in Palestine today, with the difference that the world now can watch live the ethnic cleansing, the terror, the savagery and inhumanity by foreign Zionist Jews against the indigenous Palestinian people.

Even the colonial English crooks, who midwifed the Zionist colony in Palestine by violating their fiduciary mandate over Palestine and selling it to rich European Zionist bankers, have now had enough barbarity hanging on their conscience.

The colonial criminal Zionist entity in Palestine perpetuated the lie that it, the criminal invader, rapist and land thief of Palestine, was the victim of its own real Palestinian victims whose legitimate and desperate efforts at liberating themselves and their land were tagged as "terrorism". Now the tide has turned. Israel is now indeed the victim of its own racism and barbarity. Israel now should now be placed on all decent countries' lists of Terrorist States, and the BDS (Boycott, Divest and Sanctions) regime against Israel should no longer be prohibited but encouraged and implemented. What happened to the racist Apartheid South African white supremacist Afrikaner regime should be repeated in Palestine against the racist Apartheid Jewish supremacist Zionist regime of Israel.

The rift between America and the Zionist colony on one hand, and the rest of the world on the other, has left both without any friends, except those they can still buy, bully or bribe into shunning human decency and supporting barbarity. It seems as if Israel and the US are building a new front of such weighty (but insignificant and desperate for money) countries like Zambia, Moldova, Nauru, and Fiji who avert their eyes from the mass killing fields in Palestine in exchange for pity, money and cheap used weapons. Indeed, Israel became the first country in the world to recognize the self-declared banana Republic of Somaliland.

Less than ten countries are now on the "Righteous Among the Nations" list, while some 200 countries are now officially Antisemitic Jew-hating Goyim. I warn these tiny insignificant nations that sleeping with a colonial rapist might suggest to the latter that your island or petite country could be next on Yahweh's expanding Promised Land. I heard that there was once one Jew on Nauru; beware the Zionists who might one day claim Nauru as part of the Promised Land, invade your island and start building settlement for their Chosen Ones.

An ambassador in Ljubljana, but not in London: Israel’s foreign policy shifts away from longstanding allies

Sun, September 13, 2026

Gideon Saar smiled as he cut the blue ribbon outside the newly inaugurated embassy of Nauru in Jerusalem. Israel's foreign minister described the tiny Pacific island nation of some 12,000 people as "one of Israel's greatest friends in the international community."

Two days later, it was Slovenia's turn, as Saar cut the ribbon on a new embassy in Ljubljana. He praised the new center-right government for standing by Israel in the European Union, especially after the country had previously been one of Israel's harshest critics. A large business delegation was brought along to show appreciation.

There was no such celebration in London, where Israel faced one of its sharpest diplomatic rebukes in years: a coordinated move by the United Kingdom and 11 other countries to impose sanctions and trade restrictions on Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. Israel has had no ambassador in London for nearly a year. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's intended envoy, his chief of staff Tzachi Braverman, was barred from leaving Israel due to a criminal investigation, leaving the post vacant.

The split-screen moment reflects a broader pattern in Israel's foreign relations: As traditional partners in Western Europe grow distant, losing patience with the settlement expansion and surging violence in the West Bank, the right-wing government is cultivating ties with smaller or what it sees as more ideologically aligned countries, redirecting its diplomatic energy to other arenas.

UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband tied the new measures, announced in parliament on Tuesday, directly to Israel's decision to push ahead with the E1 settlement project, which critics say would cut the West Bank in two and close off the possibility of a contiguous future Palestinian state.

But the move is part of a longer-term shift. In September 2025, Britain, Canada, France and more than a dozen other Western states recognized Palestinian statehood. And this June, the UK, Canada, France, Norway, Australia and New Zealand announced a wave of coordinated sanctions targeting individuals and networks accused of financing and enabling settler violence.

Some of the states announced additional punitive measures: France barred far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich from entering the country, Italy opened an investigation into National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir over the treatment of detained activists, including Italians, after Israel intercepted an aid flotilla on its way to Gaza. The Netherlands declared both Ben Gvir and Smotrich "persona non grata" and approved its own ban on imports of settlement goods.

Not every proposal has succeeded, and Israel has so far managed to stall broader actions from the EU. For years, Israel used Viktor Orban's government in Hungary to block EU measures. Now, following a change in leadership in Budapest, Slovenia has effectively taken Hungary's place as Israel's representative in Brussels. A push by France and Sweden for an EU ban on settlement trade was stalled, as were efforts to expel Israel from the EU's flagship Horizon research program.

Dr. Rémi Daniel, from Israel's Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) says the one comfort for Israel is that Germany and Italy have so far stuck to statements rather than joining the sanctions. "They are the most important EU member states because they have the power to block plans at the European level," he said.

But the trend was still concerning, he said, because looking at the balance of power within the EU, "the swinging center is going more against Israel."

Israel's response to the new sanctions – and its attitude towards one of its oldest allies in general - has been openly combative.

Saar swiftly announced he would close the British Consulate General in Jerusalem, end UK training for Palestinian Authority security forces, and ban entry to a dozen British officials and lawmakers. "The British move is morally distorted and constitutes a blatant interference in the affairs of a sovereign state and its electoral process," Saar said Tuesday.

Netanyahu labeled the UK the "Islamic Republic of Britain" on a podcast last month and has accused French President Emanuel Macron of fueling antisemitism by recognizing a Palestinian state.

While relations with some Western allies cool, and even the friendly Trump administration in the United States appears to be growingly frustrated with settler violence, Israel has been pouring energies into other regions and redrawing its map of relationships.

Declaring 2026 "The Year of South America," Saar has toured Argentina, Ecuador, Paraguay and Colombia and restored relations with Bolivia, Chile and Honduras. He also opened a communication channel with Venezuela for the first time since 2009, sending rescue teams to assist with earthquake relief last month.

New Israeli embassies opened in Zambia, Estonia, Moldova, Fiji and Slovenia. And Israel became the first country in the world to recognize the self-declared Republic of Somaliland as an independent state. Somaliland then opened an embassy in Jerusalem, where fewer than 10 countries have embassies, including the US. Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica and the Democratic Republic of Congo have declared their intent to join the list.

Daniel Shek, a former Israeli ambassador to France, argues that this pivot comes at a real cost and says the government is damaging relationships built over decades on shared interests in economy, science, culture, security.

"They are sacrificing the alliances with the most significant countries," he said. "If Saar thinks the Paraguayan economy can replace France as a partner for export and import, good for him."

The countries involved in the sanctions, he said, are not ideologically hostile to Israel, just its actions under Netanyahu, Ben Gvir and Smotrich. "France, Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, are friendly countries fed up with this Israeli government's behavior."

Shek notes that the sanctions target the settlements, and not Israel itself, and that their practical bite, for now, is limited. Still, he says, they should not be underestimated.

"Once sanctions have been imposed, it is significant," he said. "There are things that have been opened and cannot be put back in the bottle."

She is undeportable. But, I see God's face on her with her "beautiful white skin". Do not be surprised to learn that she is from Florida, one of the most backward state in the union.

Florida Woman, 41, Charged After Allegedly Setting a Stranger on Fire at Gas Station, Causing ‘Horrific Burns’ on Victim

Eleanor Crawford is facing attempted murder and arson charges

Florida resident Eleanor Crawford, 41, was charged with attempted murder and arson after allegedly setting a stranger on fire with gasoline at a gas station in St. Petersburg

Police said the victim, also 41, suffered serious second-degree burns after her vehicle became engulfed in flames

Authorities said Crawford did not know the victim

A Florida woman has been charged with attempted murder and arson after allegedly setting a stranger on fire at a gas station.

The incident occurred at a Mobil gas station in St. Petersburg on the evening of Thursday, Sept. 10, according to a news release from the St. Petersburg Police Department (SPPD).

Police identified the suspect as 41-year-old Eleanor Crawford and said she walked up to another woman, also 41, "and deliberately ignited gasoline with a lighter."

The victim's vehicle was engulfed in flames and she was "seriously injured," suffering second-degree burns, per SPPD. The victim was transported to Tampa General Hospital for treatment.

SPPD said that Crawford, who was arrested nearby, and the victim did not know one another and that the motive for the alleged attack remains unclear.

SPPD did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

Crawford was subsequently charged with attempted murder and arson, both of which are felonies, according to public Pinellas County court records.

It was not immediately clear whether Crawford had retained an attorney at this time.

According to Fox 13 Tampa Bay, police said that Crawford initially approached the victim and asked to borrow her phone, which the victim allowed her to use.

Crawford then asked the victim for money. The victim refused, at which point Crawford allegedly set the gas nozzle on fire with a lighter, according to the outlet.

Assistant Police Chief Mike Kovacsev described the victim's injuries as "horrific" during a press conference, excerpts of which were shared by Fox 13.

"It's kind of a unique case, because you don't see anything like this — especially something that results in such horrific burns," Kovacsev said.

"But [police] went out there, they worked with the fire department, and luckily they were able to get [the victim] stabilized, and she's going to make it," he added.

A witness who said he saw the incident unfold while parked nearby described the scene as a "fireball" while speaking to Fox 13.

He said he then helped the victim into his truck and called 911.

Crawford is being held on a bond of $350,000 and is awaiting trial, per public Pinellas County arrest records.

How White Americans Swap-Smuggle Guns & Drugs for Gun Manufacturers and Drug Cartels

I asked AI: What is Volume of Drugs on US Streets since Trump's Latest war on drugs?

AI response:
Evidence is mixed and contested. While the Trump administration cites a 22% drop in synthetic opioid deaths in 2025 and significant reductions in certain seizure data, independent experts and federal data suggest these metrics do not prove a clear reduction in the overall volume of drugs available on U.S. streets.

Fentanyl and Opioids
CDC data shows fentanyl-related deaths fell from 48,913 in 2024 to 38,084 in 2025, and the DEA reports that only 29% of seized fentanyl pills contained a lethal dose, down from 76% two years earlier. However, a study in Science notes that the fentanyl crisis was already turning the corner before Trump took office, with death rates plunging by one-third between mid-2023 and late 2024. Experts attribute this decline to a complex mix of factors, including the civil war within the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico, the widespread availability of the overdose antidote naloxone, and potential disruptions in supply chains, rather than solely U.S. enforcement actions.

Cocaine and Sea Trafficking
Claims that the administration cut drug flow by sea by 97–98% are unsupported by federal data. A Washington Post-revealed DEA evaluation concluded that the military boat strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific did not produce an appreciable reduction in cocaine prices or availability in the U.S. While maritime interdiction disrupted specific routes, traffickers adapted by using large shipping containers and land routes, keeping cocaine widely available. SAMHSA data confirms that cocaine consumption rates in the US have remained statistically unchanged between 2021 and 2025.

----------------------------------

Which means that the demand by white America for cocaine remains unchanged, which implies that the supply of drugs also remains unchanged, and that Trump's "warrior-like" killings of small boat operators is mostly intended as a propaganda ploy. 

The fact that the gun smuggler below is a white American police officer suggests a systemic network of guns versus drugs smuggling between white American officialdom and the Latin drug cartels, and that all the drug-fighting propaganda by Trump is nothing but a cover for his Brown-skin culling racist campaign and machinery  to "bleach" America white. I bet you many of the Trump Admin officials, high-placed buddies, financial criminal advisors... are cocaine snorters. who hate the very drug smugglers who supply them with their fixes.

Arizona Corrections Officer Accused of Trafficking Weapons to Mexican Cartel
Adriana Guerrero
Sat, September 12, 2026 

Yanet Dowden

US citizen Yanet Dowden was arrested near the Arizona border by Mexican police for allegedly transporting arms and ammunition for the Sinaloa Cartel.

A US citizen was arrested near the Arizona border by Mexican police on Friday. She was allegedly transporting arms and ammunition for the Sinaloa Cartel, Fox 10 Phoenix says.

Yanet Dowden, 22, was detained on September 11, 2026, as part of patrols conducted on the border crossing between San Luis Río Colorado, Sonora, and San Luis, Arizona. The authorities claim that she acted as a logistics operator for the Los Mayos branch of the cartel.

5,445 rounds of 7.62×39 mm ammunition were seized from the back of her Jeep Wrangler, stored below the seat covers. This type of ammo is utilized in AK-type rifles. Some sources also refer to firearms. The officials estimate the value of the ammunition and the car at 1.65 million pesos and consider the raid a strike against the ammunition supply chain of the cartel in northern Mexico.

Arizona Department of Corrections ID card, which identifies her as Correctional Officer II, a mid-rank, was found in her possession. Authorities are now checking the ID's legitimacy and her employment status.

The Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry, which employs more than 10,000 people and operates 13 state prisons, did not comment.

The Navy Secretariat conducted the raid with assistance from the Secretariat of National Defense, the National Guard, the Attorney General's Office, and the Secretariat of Security and Citizen Protection. Dowden was informed of her rights and transferred to a federal prosecutor to decide her legal status and whether to open an investigation, Arizona's Family says.

In the American Violence Dream Jungle, Half a Million People Disappear Every Year

Check the 2025 NCIC Missing Person and Unidentified Person Statistics freport at:
https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/2025-ncic-missing-person-and-unidentified-person-statistics.pdf/view

Make sure to read the "Where Is the Buzz" story below on how a white trash American woman harassed a "brown-skinned" father because his daughter looks "white".

According to the CNN report below, about a half-million people were reported missing last year in the United States - that is 0.15% of the entire population - including those who may have left voluntarily, missing minors, kidnapping victims and others, according to the FBI's Crime Information Center.

The masked cowards of the ICE-GESTAPO stormtrooper force are nothing new to the inborn violent fabric of American society. Thousands of people get killed, kidnapped, raped, ransomed, disappeared, etc. every day thanks to a society born in lawlessness, enslavement, mass murder and active ethnic cleansing, and which worships guns and weapons. We romanticize violence in our culture with such venerable institutions like Hollywood that glamorize criminals on the pedestal of heroes: the Wild West, the Italian Mafia brutes, Police vs. Bad people thrillers, etc...such that it is easy for dumb Americans to imitate the "art" of their superficial culture and seek notoriety in real life "like they do in movies and violent video games", by resorting to the traditions of violence that are inseparable from the American psyche.

And beneath the standard murderous violence of American culture lies a secondary level of physical macho violence exemplified by the way American police forces (from local sheriffs to state troopers and all the way up the rank and file of the FBI) present themselves to the American citizen: Bedecked with all sorts of military equipment that makes a simple cop look like a mounted medieval knight. Or the barbaric worship of athletes based solely on physical strength while intellectual skills are degraded as "nerdy" and boring. Never mind that the actual power of the American superpower did not come about from cowboys, athletes, oversized superheroes, cops or Mafia brutes, but rather from all the smart "nerds", overwhelmingly foreign-born immigrant scientists who developed the science and technology on which American power really rests. 

Yet, Americans are convinced they live in an "advanced" (with the subtext beneath that word implying civil and civilized) society, without ever questioning the criteria behind that false belief. Why? Because they are bombarded from the day they're born with mediocre education, targeted advertisements and brainwashing political "marketing" telling them that they live in the best place on earth, as long as they are conformist, submissive, obedient consumers of American-fabricated mythology. American citizens are no longer known as "citizens" except when they have to prove that "they have the right to live here". The phrase "American citizen" has been replaced by such market-driven coinage as "consumer", "patient", "client", "customer", "buyer", "seller", etc. depending on which hangman corporation is handling the torture and the brainwashing.

To outsiders, Americans appear like a large herd of tamed simple-minded buffaloes imported from the most savage boonies of the world and made to live in a large enclosure surrounded by corporate guards and mind-controlling freaks who feed them, but never let them out of the corral. They are told they are conditionally "free" as long as they stay inside. Any escapee from the corral is deemed unpatriotic and a traitor. Which explains why many Americans who dare leave the fake paradise to live outside discover the paucity of their lives inside the corral. How many times did I have to hear an American expat make the sad contrast between the superficial life they lead in the US and the emotionally and intellectually rich and satisfying life elsewhere.

Because of worldwide marketing of the "American Dream" hoax, many around the world are bamboozled into thinking they will find heaven on earth if they sneak inside the corral. Once inside, they are labeled as "aliens", "immigrants", "migrants", "foreigners" who are periodically culled from the herd (as is happening now) to make sure their "Euro-trash", "Socialist", "Communist", "Mideastern", "Asian" and otherwise "foreign"... ideas do not contaminate the "native" herd.

Why does CNN feel compelled to tell its readers that the missing person below is an "Asian woman"? Would CNN have emphasized that some other missing woman is "Caucasian woman" if she were a white woman? The insistence of Americans at always viewing people through the superficial lens of what they call "races" is the legacy of racism, colonialism, eugenics, barbaric Christianity and white supremacy. There is the "us" (implying but never stated "white") and then there are all the other "races" (Africans, Asians, Arabs, Hispanics...). "White" is the default American.  And since the "us" rule, there is no need to designate whites as whites; it is implied. No wonder also that the custodians of demographics in the US insist on every piece of garbage bureaucratic paper they make you fill that you specify your "race", which stands in sharp contrast with the real fact that the American population is one of bastards of every "race" on earth, thanks to a legacy of rapes by white settlers of native Indians, Black slaves, and the natural fornicating profligacy of the human species. 

How can anyone in the US, but also the world, claim to be of a "pure" race when history and science tell us that the extant human population now living on earth has, during its latest tens of thousands of years, been the product of raids, invasions, wars, migrations, conquests, and even incestuous relations, all of which almost always included rapes, kidnapping and herding of women, forced marriages, and enslavement....?

That is why when you send your DNA to one of the ancestry-exploring outfits, do not be surprised or shocked when they return the inevitable verdict: BASTARD. You have some Caucasian, some Asian, some Semitic, some Neanderthal, some African, some native Amerindian.... genes in you. You can bet the ranch on the fact that you, especially in the US, are the product of a razzia, a raid, a rape.... at some point in the history of your pedigree.

Community holds vigil for missing DC mother a week after she disappeared, her phones, wallet, car and dog left behind

A terrified family is pleading for help in finding a woman who has been missing for more than a week after she disappeared from her Washington, DC, home without her phones, wallet or car.

Antoinette Forbes, 53, a single mother of a young boy and a beloved sister, was last seen in person Friday, September 4, in the 3200 block of Nebraska Avenue NW, according to the Metropolitan Police Department, which has released a missing-person poster seeking the public's help.

Police haven't released any information about her son.

Forbes is an Asian woman, 5 feet 2 inches tall and about 115 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes, police have said. Her clothing at the time is unknown.

Her family and friends say the circumstances of her disappearance are deeply alarming: Forbes' two phones, wallet, laptop and car were all left behind at her home, along with her dog, Max. The front door was unlocked.

"We're in absolute shock and horror," Forbes' older sister, Aileen Forbes, told CNN on Thursday. "We have our own very close-knit immediate family, but we have a very large extended family. We're horrified."

An investigation is active, police told CNN, declining to share further details.

Elizabeth Northrup, a friend of Forbes' with whom Aileen is staying as they search for her sister, told CNN they do not believe Forbes left her home voluntarily.

"(Law enforcement) certainly checked all the hospitals. We also have had friends check hospitals. She has not flown," Northrup said. "She did not walk out of that house and go voluntarily."

About a half-million people were reported missing last year in the United States, including those who may have left voluntarily, missing minors, kidnapping victims and others, according to the FBI's Crime Information Center.

Deciding how to proceed with searching for a missing person varies case to case, and sometimes race and news coverage play a role.

In the search for Antoinette Forbes, Aileen is holding onto hope and refuses to dwell on the worst-case scenarios, she said.

"I am trying really hard not to even conceive of that … because it would mean that my family is destroyed," she said. "I'm still trying very hard to keep the faith and the strong, harsh belief that I've had from the start that my sister is alive."

Friends, family and supporters of Forbes gathered for a vigil Saturday night at National Presbyterian Church in Washington, DC, marking one week since her disappearance. Loved ones came together "in a show of love, strength and hope for her safe return," according to a flyer about the vigil.

Alison Williams, who said she has known Forbes for nearly 30 years, told CNN affiliate WJLA the disappearance has been harrowing.

"I know so many other families have gone through similar experiences. It doesn't change how difficult it is, not only for her friends, but especially for her family who are so desperate to see her back," she said.

'Something happened'

Just days before Antoinette Forbes was reported missing, the sisters had spoken on the phone as usual on weekend mornings, Aileen said.

She FaceTimed her sister on Saturday morning. They talked about their weekend and the week ahead — an ordinary conversation between two sisters who were especially close, she told CNN.

They planned to talk again the next day, but Aileen never heard from her, she said. As the days passed without contact, the family grew increasingly concerned. Aileen said she knew something was wrong when she reached out to her sister to tell her she had Covid-19 and did not receive a response.

"She's a very busy woman. She's got a full life," Aileen said. "Single mother, highly successful professional."

Forbes works as the associate vice president and head of public affairs at Eli Lilly, an American multinational pharmaceutical company, according to her LinkedIn page. The company is supporting police efforts to find her and encouraged anyone with information to contact police, a spokesperson told CNN.

"We are deeply concerned for Antoinette and are thinking of her and her family in this uncertain time," the spokesperson said. "We hope for her safe return."

But above all, Aileen said, her sister is a mother of a 10-year-old boy.

"(He) is Antoinette's life," Aileen said. "Antoinette is a 100% solid, reliable, intelligent, competent woman who is a devoted mother. She would never leave her son. She wouldn't leave her dog. She wouldn't leave her sister who needs her."

After days went by without a word, Aileen alerted family friends, Louis and Margarita, who live near Forbes' home and have a key, to check on her, she said. That was Monday, Labor Day.

Margarita texted Aileen after entering the home.

"I think something happened," the message said, according to Aileen.

"My heart stopped after I read that text," she said. Louis then called and described what they found.

Inside, according to her friends and family, were Forbes' two phones, including her work phone. So were her wallet and her laptop. Her car was in the driveway. Her dog, Max, was also at the house.

But Forbes was gone.

Police say investigation is active

Police declined to say whether Forbes' home had surveillance cameras and whether investigators had reviewed any footage from the home or canvassed neighbors for video.

For Aileen, the waiting has become its own kind of torment.

"Today it's getting harder," she said. "We're getting later into the week, and some of the dark reality is hitting me."

But Forbes' friends and family are not ready to give up hope, and they are asking anyone who may have seen something – however small – to come forward.

"We need to know what happened," Aileen told CNN. "Someone had to have seen something, anything, some small thing, seen her. We need the evidence that's going to enable the police to do their jobs and bring Antoinette home."

The police department is asking anyone with information about Forbes' whereabouts to call 202-727-9099 or text 50411.

Rachel Clark, who says she has known Forbes for 13 years, shared a Facebook post appealing for help in finding her, saying those who love Forbes "are doing everything we can to keep her name, her face and her story in front of as many people as possible."

"She is brilliant, hilarious, feisty, fiercely loyal, and the kind of person who shows up for the people she loves," Clark wrote alongside photos of Forbes.

Clark told CNN she misses her friend and is "eager to bring her home."

In her post, Clark urged the public to look at photographs of Forbes and to contact police with any information that could help locate her.

"Antoinette, there are so many people looking for you and fighting for you," Clark wrote in the Facebook post.

"We love you. We miss you. And we will not stop until you are home."

Here is one story of how dumb ignorant white trash Americans are programmed to hybridize hate, racism, stupidity and violence into their being. Her "rationale", assuming we accept the stupid classification of Americans into "races" by their government, definitely applies to, say, JD Vance and his children: He a white Appalachian inbred Christian moron (who generically hates people of color), she a dark-skinned Hindu fundamentalist (who generically hates whites, Muslims and Christians). Hence JD Vance is a pedophile because his children have a different skin tone than their father. White trash Americans are soooooo smart!

Woman Who Accused San Jose Father of Trafficking His 6 Year Old Over Their Skin Tones Is Behind Bars
Sarah M. Stone
Sun, September 13, 2026


[White trash dumb blonde American] Lindsay Hansen

A 47-year-old woman was arrested by the San Jose Police Department for stalking and committing hate crimes against a family after a viral video captured her making derogatory remarks towards a father and his 6-year-old daughter based on their skin color.

The San Jose Police Department arrested a 47-year-old woman accused of stalking and committing hate crimes against a family after a viral video captured her accusing a father of being a pedophile because he had a different skin color than his daughter.

The police responded to reports of a hate-motivated crime that took place on September 6th in the 6400 block of Aspen Creek in the Almaden area, stated the San Jose Police Department.

According to investigators, the woman pulled up to the father and his 6-year-old daughter multiple times while they were walking together along a pedestrian and bicycle trail and proceeded to make derogatory remarks toward them.

The father recorded the event and uploaded it on TikTok, where it went viral. In the video, the woman tells the father she is recording and that she works with "the feds."

"I'm making sure that you're not sex trafficking this poor little girl, who's very unhappy to be with you. It doesn't look like your child," she states.

Despite being called out on her comments, the father, who said that he is brown and his daughter is half-white, continues walking. She continues, "That's a white little girl, and you're a man of color, so I believe you're either buying or selling or trafficking this child."

Police used automatic license plate reader cameras to track down the silver Honda Fit she was using. The assaults team conducted an additional investigation, which concluded that there were other hate crimes committed around the city, one of which was committed on September 9th at a high school in South San Jose.

She was arrested on September 10th and booked into the Santa Clara County Main Jail on charges of stalking, hate crimes, among other charges. The investigation is still ongoing. The police department has not said whether the investigation proved her accusations against the father.

Police have not publicly disclosed the woman's name. Some sources have identified her as Lindsay Hansen.

The hate crime against the school prompted the San Jose Unified School District to issue a notice on September 10th to families that a woman harassed members of the school community, taped them, and shared the recordings through social media. A post was alleged to capture her taping herself in the girls' locker room of a South Bay high school while accusing physical education teachers of sexual misconduct, as per NBC Bay Area, which also indicated that her profile had numerous videos and posts relating to religion, race, and sex.

In an open profile that she had, the woman identifies herself as a professional who exposes child sex traffickers and uploads information that she says shows trafficking rings, images of which seem to be edited and produced by artificial intelligence software. Additional posts in the same profile included her statements against the Jewish people, Muslim communities, Asian immigrants, and the LGBTQ+ community. Investigators have not yet commented on those posts.

The woman was reported missing in 2022 due to her significant mental health issues, according to KTVU. A journalist found the Honda Fit in another part of the Almaden area on September 9th, and her father refused to comment.
