Matt Taibbi On Twitter’s Hunter Biden Deliberations! SF OKs Deadly Police Robots! W/ Max Blumenthal
(…)
Starting live on Rumble in just a few minutes, @jimmy_dore speaks to @mtaibbi about his reporting on Twitter‘s pre-election censorship of articles on Joe Biden‘s business activities in Ukraine and China, and the media‘s reaction to Matt‘s story:

“The mask is completely lifting on the empire right now and more and more people are seeing it but they have nowhere to go in the two party system… The fear is that someone like you steps out and gives people hope.” – @MaxBlumenthal on #Dore24
The organized US left in its current incarnation poses little threat to entrenched power, and often functions as its shield. This is a private source of humiliation to many activists, prompting them to overcompensate by ritually abusing heretics and performative radicalism.
There is also the professional left element which reacts with open glee as the security state runs wild on MAGA, the same way many of them celebrated deaths of unvaccinated right-wing septuagenarians with Covid. The culture wars define their shared identity & trump any principle.
Under Zelensky‘s watch, Ukraine‘s SBU has partnered with neo-Nazis from Azov and C14 to hunt down left-wing activists This is from video posted by Azov members during the SBU‘s torture & kidnapping of leftist Alexander Matjuschenko in Dnipro – targeted for his political view
Zelensky’s Hardline Internal Purge
In a March 19 executive order, Zelensky invoked martial law to ban 11 opposition parties. The outlawed parties consisted of the entire left-wing, socialist or anti-NATO spectrum in Ukraine.
They included the For Life Party, the Left Opposition, the Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine, the Socialist Party of Ukraine, Union of Left Forces, Socialists, the Party of Shariy, Ours, State, Opposition Bloc and the Volodymyr Saldo Bloc.
Openly fascist and pro-Nazi parties like the Azov National Corps were left untouched by the presidential decree, however.

Judge tosses frivolous lawsuit by heiress Sulome Anderson seeking to destroy The Grayzone
The District of Columbia Superior Court has rejected a frivolous, million-dollar lawsuit claiming libel, defamation, and tortious conspiracy filed by writer Sulome Anderson against The Grayzone’s editor Max Blumenthal and assistant editor Ben Norton.
Judge William M. Jackson’s June 16, 2021 decision put an end to the entitled heiress’ three-year-long campaign to smear and bankrupt The Grayzone with the help of a powerful DC lawyer closely linked to the Israel lobby.
Imagine if a foreign power recognized this guy as president and you’ll know how Venezuelans feel
Feels a lot like Maidan Square out here with all the right wing muscle. One missing ingredient: chipper Democrats cheering on “pro democracy protesters.”
#StopTheSteaI protesters say a young woman was shot in the neck while inside the US Capitol. This appears to be her. They are amped up right now.

Biden appointee advocated using propaganda against Americans and ‘rethinking’ First Amendment
A committed crusader in what he openly describes as a global “information war,” Stengel has proudly proclaimed his dedication to the carefully management of the public’s access to information.
DNC embraces neocons, and Russiagate conspiracy just won‘t die – with Aaron Maté
Max Blumenthal and Ben Norton speak with Aaron Maté about the virtual Democratic National Convention (DNC), and how the Democratic Party welcomes neoconservative war criminals and right-wing Republicans while attacking the left.
We also talk about Joe Biden choosing hawkish neoliberal „top cop“ Kamala Harris as his VP candidate. Then Aaron picks apart the new Senate Intelligence Committee report on Russia, and explains why the Russiagate conspiracy still won‘t go away, even after it has been debunked.
Western media’s favorite Hong Kong ‘freedom struggle writer’ is American ex-Amnesty staffer in yellowface
Since bursting onto the Hong Kong Twitter scene, Kong Tsung-gan has been quoted by a who’s who of Western corporate media outlets. He has been described as an “author” (CNN, Globe and Mail, Time), “writer and activist” (New York Times, Washington Post), “activist and author” (LA Times),“activist” (AFP, Al Jazeera), “writer, educator and activist” (Guardian), “political writer” (Foreign Policy), “writer” (Vice), and “Hong Kong writer and activist” in an op-ed posted by the Nikkei Asian Review.
Kong has also been cited as a “Hong Kong journalist and rights activist” by Radio Free Asia and as a “rights activist and author” by Voice of America, two subsidiaries of the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM). Tasked with a mission to “be consistent with the broad foreign policy objectives of the United States,” the USAGM budgeted around $2 million to support protests in Hong Kong in 2020.
Remember “Gay Girl In Damascus” the fake Syrian lesbian aka Tom MacMaster, who rallied gullible western liberal support for Syria regime change? Turns out one of the most popular US-backed Hong Kong protest “voices” is another hoax
US claim of ‘Russian Bounty’ plot in Afghanistan is dubious and dangerous
Max Blumenthal breaks down the “Russian bounty” story’s flaws and how it aims to prolong the war in Afghanistan — and uses Russiagate tactics to continue pushing the Democratic Party to the right
Why Are Progressives Voting For Ultimate Screwing Of America?

In this piece of US regime propaganda, CBS News warns that part of Syria could fall to… Syria
As I said in 2017 when few would listen, Russiagate would ultimately be used as a weapon against the left. This phony story spun out by the intelligence services proves my point. The tragedy is that Bernie has echoed Russia hysteria in a futile bid to mollify malign IC forces.
Max Blumenthal on the imperial NGOs that ignore Julian Assange – and the billionaires behind them
The Grayzone editor Max Blumenthal speaks about the witch hunt against WikiLeaks publisher and political prisoner Julian Assange, and how billionaire-funded „human rights“ and „press freedom“ non-profit organizations have refused to support him.
This talk was hosted by the Courage Foundation in New York City on February 15, 2020.
I‘ve never heard Netanyahu this ecstatic. He‘s talking about humiliations imposed by Trump on the Palestinians like mouth watering items at an apartheid all you can eat buffet.
Iraqi PM reveals Soleimani was on peace mission when assassinated, exploding Trump’s lie of ‘imminent attacks’
According to Abdul-Mahdi, he had planned to meet Soleimani on the morning the general was killed to discuss a diplomatic rapproachment that Iraq was brokering between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Abdul-Mahdi said that Trump personally thanked him for the efforts, even as he was planning the hit on Soleimani – thus creating the impression that the Iranian general was safe to travel to Baghdad.
US government drops case against Max Blumenthal after jailing journalist on false charges
The Grayzone has learned that Secret Service call logs recorded during the alleged incident were either not kept or destroyed. The mysteriously missing evidence included print documents and radio recordings that may have exposed collusion between Secret Service officers operating under the auspices of the US State Department and violent right-wing hooligans in an operation to besiege peace activists stationed inside Venezuela’s embassy in Washington, DC.
Blumenthal, who is the editor of The Grayzone, was arrested at his home on October 25 by a team of DC cops who had threatened to break down his door. He later learned that he was listed in his arrest warrant as “armed and dangerous,” a rare and completely unfounded designation that placed Blumenthal at risk of severe harm by the police.
White Helmets Whitewash: founder’s death, OPCW scandal lift mask on al-Qaeda’s ally in Syria
We speak to The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal, whose reporting has exposed the White Helmets’ ties to jihadists groups and its use as a PR tool for Western military intervention in Syria.
“We don’t know if there’s a cover-up around his [Le Mesurier’s] death — I can’t go that far,” Blumenthal says. “The real cover-up is around his life, as he’s being celebrated everywhere from the Guardian to the New York Times as this heroic figure, this kind of Gandhi of conflict stabilization; when his legacy is actually very dark and stained with blood.”
Bolivia coup led by Christian fascist paramilitary leader and millionaire – with foreign support
(11.11.2019)
Bolivian coup leader Luis Fernando Camacho is a far-right multi-millionaire who arose from fascist movements in the Santa Cruz region, where the US has encouraged separatism. He has courted support from Colombia, Brazil, and the Venezuelan opposition.

Grayzone Redakteur Max Blumenthal verhaftet: „Diese Anklage ist zu 100% falsch“
Der Herausgeber von Grayzone, Max Blumenthal, wurde aufgrund falscher Anschuldigungen verhaftet, nachdem er über die Gewalt der venezolanischen Opposition außerhalb der Botschaft in Washington berichtet hatte. Er beschreibt den fabrizierten Fall als Teil einer breiter angelegten Kampagne politischer Verfolgung.
‘This charge is 100% false’: Grayzone editor Max Blumenthal arrested months after reporting on Venezuelan opposition violence
“This charge is a 100 percent false, fabricated, bogus, untrue, and malicious lie,” Blumenthal declared. “It is clearly part of a campaign of political persecution designed to silence me and the The Grayzone for our factual journalism exposing the deceptions, corruption and violence of the far-right Venezuelan opposition.”
The arrest warrant was five months old. According to an individual familiar with the case, the warrant for Blumenthal’s arrest was initially rejected. Strangely, this false charge was revived months later without the defendant’s knowledge.

Max Blumenthal Arrested: Accused by Venezuelan Opposition
A team of police officers from the U.S. capital appeared at Blumenthal‘s door shortly after 9 a.m., demanding entry and threatening to break down its door.
In addition, several officers had taken up positions surrounding his home as if they were prepared for a SWAT-style raid.
By the way, guess who’s next in line to be smeared by corporatist Dem elites as a Russian agent? Hint: he’s a Jewish socialist who once visited the USSR and Nicaragua. This is just a pilot program.
Following Grayzone exposé, top Venezuelan coup official Ricardo Hausmann is forced to resign
(27.09.2019)
Hours before an expected vote at the United Nations General Assembly on the legitimacy of Venezuela’s Maduro-led government amidst a US-led coup, a senior official of Juan Guaidó’s coup regime was forced to resign from his position.
Economist Ricardo Hausmann stepped down from his post at the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) following an exposé by The Grayzone’s Anya Parampil of his conflicts of interest and opaque financial practices.
Gregor Gysi smears @maxblumenthal & @davidsheen then locks himself in Bundestag toilet
(11.11.2014)
Max Blumenthal, an US-American writer of Jewish origin, and the son of Sidney Blumenthal, the former advisor of President Bill Clinton and now a close adviser to potential Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, says in this video that he wants to sit down with German parliament member Gregor Gysi (The Left) in order to see if Gysi can explain the allegations against Blumenthal and if Gysi can explain why Blumenthal and Sheen should be silenced.
#Toilettengate: Gysi, die Israel-Kritiker und der Geist der Stasi – Was auf dem Flur des Bundestags passierte
(12.11.2014)
Es zeigt wie Sheen und Blumenthal zusammen mit den Linke-Bundestagsabgeordneten Inge Höger, Annette Groth, Heike Hänsel und weiteren Personen auf dem Fluren des Bundestages über ein nicht zustande gekommenes Treffen mit Gregor Gysi reden. Laut wird es als Fraktionspressesprecher Hendrik Thalheim den Flur betritt. »Warum kann mich Herr Gysi öffentlich als Antisemiten denunzieren«, fragt der in Israel lebende Autor Sheen.

(12.11.2014)
Neues aus Deutschplanet: Die „Linksfraktion“ verurteilt „auf das Schärfste“ einen „Angriff auf die Privatsphäre von Gregor Gysi“ durch David Sheen und Max Blumenthal.
Als Frage bleibt, ob das wenigstens als physikalischer Beweis eines Paralleluniversums durchgeht.
‘Regime change begins at home’ – Max Blumenthal speaks in Venezuelan presidential palace
I am representing, alongside my colleagues Anya Parampil and Ben Norton, an independent media organization with no formal relationship to this government or any other government.
We are here because our government, and a corporate media which acts as an arm of its foreign policy, is pursuing a dangerous and catastrophic policy of siege and regime change.
We have seen the catastrophes that this same policy has caused for Central America, for Iraq, for Libya, for Syria, and for so many people across the world, in Korea, and elsewhere. And we are here to renounce this policy.
We are here as citizens and also as journalists, to break the blockade that our government has put not only on this government, but on relations between the American people and the Venezuelan people seeking to build a new society through the Bolivarian Revolution.

US Regime Change Blueprint Proposed Venezuelan Electricity Blackouts as ‘Watershed Event’
A September 2010 memo by a U.S.-funded soft power organization that helped train Venezuelan coup leader Juan Guaidó and his allies identifies the potential collapse of the country’s electrical sector as “a watershed event” that “would likely have the impact of galvanizing public unrest in a way that no opposition group could ever hope to generate.”
Die Spuren der CIA beim landesweiten Stromausfall in Venezuela
Dazu schrieb der US-Journalist Max Blumenthal: „Wir befinden uns jetzt im März 2019 und das von Popovic beschriebene Szenario verläuft genauso, wie man es sich vorgestellt hat“.
CanaryPod: #ToppleUncaged meets… Max Blumenthal talking Venezuela and antisemitism
#Venezuela and #antisemitism are both currently in the headlines. But the mainstream media narrative isn’t always as it seems. So, Canary journalist and broadcaster Steve Topple spoke to groundbreaking journalist and trailblazer Max Blumenthal. He has been on the ground in Venezuela, and is also of Jewish heritage – so has unique insights into both subjects. It‘s an overarching, must-listen interview.
Today I spoke to a longtime friend of Guardian “reporter” Carl David Goette-Luciak who worked with him in Nicaragua. He told me what it was like “inhabiting the role of a foreign agent of imperialism” and slammed the @guardiannews’s “conflict of interest”
