Borderline Mental Invalid and Former Celebrity John Cusack Is Back to Posting Nazi Propaganda Again

And BlueSkum might have actually told him to delete the antisemitic meme.

High Fidelity star John Cusack posted a meme on Bluesky that critics have described as being "antisemitic" and evocative of Nazi propaganda.

"High Fidelity star"? Boy that goes a long way back. You have to go back a few decades to find a John Cusack movie anyone's even heard of.

Cusack, a staunch critic of Israel's actions in Gaza, shared a graphic (a screenshot of which is pictured below) linking Antony Blinken, the Jewish former U.S. secretary of state, to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Each of the photos in the graphic contains the Star of David, gesturing towards centuries-old antisemitic tropes about hidden Jewish conspiracies of influence and power.

Epstein and Maxwell are both described as Mossad agents in the graphic, an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory that has gained traction in far-right circles.

Far right circles, huh?

TruNews, the Christian media outlet, and Mark Collett, a Nazi-sympathiser based in the UK, are among those who have trumpeted this idea.

No one's ever heard of those people. On the other hand, leftists with big platforms that everyone knows like John Cusack are pushing this kind of antisemitic meme.

Cusack's post was deleted within two hours of it being shared. It is not clear if Cusack voluntarily removed the post, or if Bluesky moderators intervened. Deadline has approached Cusack's reps at Independent Artist Group for comment.
The post was widely condemned on Bluesky and beyond. Mike Masnick, a Bluesky board member and founder of the Techdirt blog, described it as "antisemitic Nazi s**t." Angus Johnston, a history professor at The City University of New York, said it was "straight-up antisemitism."
Cusack has previously apologized for sharing antisemitic content on social media. In 2019, he tweeted an image depicting a hand, stamped with the Star of David, pushing down a group of people. It was captioned: "To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize."

In the last post, I mentioned a Democrat office-seeker who called for the murder of ICE agents. But I did not include the tweet -- which he later deleted -- in which he called for murder.

Here it is:

There are no limits to the malignant bitterness of the left:

The only time I'm not surprised is when they are wearing Jewish garb- hats, black clothes, etc...

Because it doesn't matter to me. "THE JEWS" aren't the ones trying to destroy my country. The left is. Now, some Jews are part of the left, but it's the LEFT part that is dangerous, not the Jewish.

What's funny is the caption is correct, but I'm fairly certain people can criticize the Jews and not suffer consequences.

At least, as compared to: LGBBQUTSR**JN, Muslims, Blacks, Women, etc...

Jews are pretty far down the "untouchable" hierarchy today.

And Ghislaine as Robert's favorite daughter and later societal fixer. Then hopped on a plane to NYC to do the same for Epstein.

I think all of the Western IC organizations were involved here. E.g. Epstein had a good buddy in France who did the whole suicide thing too in custody after being apprehended. Guy was Jean Luc Brunel who ran a French modeling and pimping agency.

83 Axios: Democrats told to "get shot" for the anti-Trump resistance. At town halls in their districts and in one-on-one meetings with constituents and activists, Democratic members of Congress are facing a growing thrum of demands to break the rules, fight dirty — and not be afraid to get hurt.

For months, Democratic lawmakers have fumed that their base's demands to "fight harder" misunderstand the lack of legislative and investigative power afforded to the minority party in Congress.

The grassroots wants more. "Some of them have suggested ... what we really need to do is be willing to get shot" when visiting ICE facilities or federal agencies, a third House Democrat told Axios.

think what we're all telling you is to make good trouble. Don't just talk about it.

"What I have seen is a demand that we get ourselves arrested intentionally or allow ourselves to be victims of violence, and ... a lot of times that's coming from economically very secure white people," said an eighth House Democrat.

"no matter what we say, they want [more]," said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.)" News flash Mr. Schneider, the time for talk is long over. We want ACTION!

91 I saw a relatively recent John Cusack movie. It was called "1408". I think it was based on a Stephen King short story or something.

Anyway, the movie wasn't awful. But, it had a seriously distracting aspect to it. Cusack, apparently, loves his snacks. He was obviously overweight. And, to compensate, every outfit he wore in the movie was baggy in an attempt to hide the fact that the dude is a lump. It was distracting.

92 ""There are no limits to the malignant bitterness of the left:""

I think what gets missed here is this is exactly how they would be if they were in power. Just look at what they did when they actually were IN power. They wanted J6 people executed, they wanted people who didn't get the clot shot denied health care or executed, they want republicans executed, etc etc. They are pissed right now because they didn't get to stay in power to do what they wanted to, so they are doing it anyway. Power, no power, makes no difference. They are human debris with a serious lead deficiency. They are... what they are...what they are. Evil...pure fucking evil.

Now, the link goes to "American Thinker", which is not a good site overall. Here its argument that she's an Iranian agent is a bad one. Also the "anti-semitic" tag is wrong for that article.
The bits of evidence gathered show that she is (now) anti-American. She's supporting US soldiers going AWOL before getting involved in a war on Iran.

Did your grandfather get a state funeral in Israel attended by high ranking officials like Maxwell did?

I think it is fair to say that Robert Maxwell was involved in both British and Israeli intel matters.

Israel spies on the US, Britain, or anywhere else. The US spies on Israel, Britain, or anywhere else, the Brits spy on everyone since the Spanish Armada, the French spy on everyone as do the Germans. And the Chinese in the US spy on us etc.

Pointing these things out and that particular people involved have intel ties is NOT anti semitic, anti British, etc.

Fang Fang was a Chinese intel op. The IT brothers providing computer services to our Congress were also Pakistani ISI likely, and so on.

It would be fairer to say just what elite is NOT in the bed with the intel communities worldwide than who is.

Moreover, I think all the IC like using 'amateurs' and 'retired' personnel as contractors because of plausible deniability. The dirtying operations done by the Brits with Stephan Halper so that the Feds could bug Trump is an example. Seat the Trump advisor (the Greek guy) next to a Russian at a dinner, have a crack addled former US intel asset there to add versimilitude, then a strange dude alleging they were from Israel handing the Greek Guy a suitcase full of cash. And voila, the op culminated in the Greek guy being searched at the airport but whoopsie, he was smart enough to have left the briefcase full of cash in Euroland.

So you have a former US intel hack, a retired head of MI-6, a person later accused of being a Russian spy, a Greek dupe, a mysterious self claimed Israeli businessman with a briefcase full of cash, and domestic law enforcement there to meet the Greek dupe at the US airport gates for a search and seizure.

In grad school, I lived in an ancient house with a bunch of Bohemians with an even larger multiple of their like-minded acquaintances coming and going.

The crazier, less capable of deductive reasoning they were, the more they tended to be artistic. I was fine with that, because they kept me greatly entertained.

They also understood my thought processes as the in-house rational thinker. If someone was having an epileptic seizure triggered by doing 'shrooms, then I was the one they woke up in the middle of the night to take care of any actual "real world" problem.

Posted by: Seems Legit at July 08, 2025 05:02 PM (PMtkd)

On that, we can all agree.

Although I think Clinton was more of a JFK type -- easily compromised by his out of control libido, really good at working a room, and mostly just there for a good time.

Bush (W) I think was just a nepo baby, kind of an idiot. His dad, of course, was second / third generation Deep State, up to and including running the CIA then becoming President.

Going from the prices and job opportunities under Obama, then Trump, then Biden, and back to Trump would, in a sane world, be all the evidence anyone needs that Democrats are the party of high prices and lower wages, and that when the press says “higher prices are inevitable” or “American decline is inevitable”, they are lying and know they are lying.

Agreed. Not only is it absolutely, horrifically morally depraved for any government to pimp out children for any reason, but, as you say, it should be a bit concerning to us that there seems to be a smoking gun of the deep state and how it works right in front of our eyes, but we're told not to believe our eyes here.

If we're a self governing people, we should be concerned when our government is clearly lying to our face and likely using blackmail to subvert the democratic process. I would think. Maybe I'm wrong on that.

Yes. Also, I find it hilarious she ended up as an aide to a politician. Through the entire movie she's shown to be completely alienated from her peers. She has no insight into what they want, like, or dislike. She knows how to study hard and she does what she's told. She'd be fine at continuing that trend into adult life, but she'd be useless at giving advice.

It's hard to claim to be a nation of laws when people involved in that sort of thing aren't publicly punished for it. And at that point one has to ask why any law should be observed, or any shits given about the government automatons who enforce them.

Further, you're a long way away from defending the God-given Rights of your citizens if the abuse that was heaped on those girls is not only not avenged, but actively swept under the carpet because someone has a deal to be made for his own convenience, or cheap groceries to acquire.

Okay, but -- You and I have no control over the price of gasoline or eggs, and frankly, the government only has limited, peripheral control over the price of either in a free market economy.

You have some control over your paycheck, the government can, too. But again, in a free market, the only major thing the government can/should do is cut taxes.
