The Grayzone’s publication of an embarrassing phone call with a National Endowment for Democracy VP triggered an institution-wide meltdown at the US government’s regime change laboratory. Following the call, the group’s founding president privately admitted the “fiasco” exposed major “problems beneath the polished surface.”

Now, leaked emails obtained by The Grayzone reveal the organization has since descended into chaos, with two senior officials fired due to the fiasco, and remaining staff engaged in civil war between the neocon old guard and the “woke” new generation hired to replace them.

– Senior NED management is currently in complete disarray, with two high-ranking staffers fired due to their handling of The Grayzone’s phone call, and founding president Carl Gershman isolated and marginalized by those who took his place.

– What began as a bitter dispute over the decision to engage with The Grayzone ultimately devolved into a full-fledged culture war that pitted the group’s neoconservative founders against its more liberal recent hires, derided by the neocon old guard as “woke flakes” obsessed with “microaggressions” and compulsory DEI trainings.

– One of the fired NED staffers, neocon Michael Allen, accused his progressive boss of a “clear campaign of harassment, marginalization and victimization,” and fretted over her allowing NED staff to attend pro-Palestine rallies. He was so incensed by his dismissal that he threatened to reveal the details of his firing to the “many mailing lists of key decision-makers and opinion-formers that I have built and retained over the years” if he did not receive a substantial settlement.

hazami BREAKING NEWS— Journalists confront US Secretary of State during his last official press briefing. The role of media is to be a watch dog of governments— not to cover up their lies.

Journalists Sam Husseini and @maxjblumenthal show us courageous journalism.

We cannot allow the people who sent bombs to israel to walk down the street without being hounded. Katie Hapler and Max Blumenthal elaborate.

I’m a Black-American Jew (parents were converts :)) and I agree with the Afro-Indigenous anon A LOT bc the same things they do to Indigenous Americans they do to African Americans and Afro-Palestinians. No sense of allyship whatsoever and when you bring up the horrible treatment of Black Palestinians (who aren’t all just descendants of enslaved Africans kind you, despite what many non Black Palis say, but even if they were all descendants of enslaved Africans that doesn’t change the fact they’re still Palestinians) they go silent and never have anything to say but are constantly comparing themselves to Black people (and pretending we have some sort of privilege over them as if our issues are continuously ignored) and crying for our support. AntiBlackness exists in the Jewish/Israeli world too but like the other anon said, this isn’t THAG big of a problem for me to disconnect myself for it. Israel has done a lot for Black Jews throughout its existence and Black Jews have always existed in the community and have been mostly accepted throughout. It’s never been like Black Jews have been completely ostracized and excluded from Jewishness.

I really appreciate the insights, thank you. A few additional angles on this:

Rabbi Susan Talve got up on stage in front of the presidents of both the U.S. and Israel and supported Black Lives Matter - she would also be arrested for her support - and yet lefty activists tried to read her out of the movement as a "pro-apartheid Zio"

Renowned pro-Palestine activists Max Blumenthal, Rania Khalek, and Steven Salaita just can't stop derailing conversations about anti-blackness and police brutality because ACKSHYUALLY Palestine is so much worse - with Salaita even using some of his typically antisemitic conspiracy lingo to now try to silence African-American activists

Israeli newspaper writes complete nonsense

What is "far-left"? For example, the communists, the revolutionaries are far-left.

The communists do not accept international law, international conventions and the constitutions.

They regard these constitutions as imposed by the capitalists and these international conventions as the agreements between capitalist states.

In turn, the journalist Max Blumenthal highly values international conventions and the Constitution of the US.

He demands that these laws should be followed and obeyed.

Then, what sense does it make to say that "the far-left journalist demanded that the international law should be obeyed"?

Do these propagandists in that Israeli newspaper really think that the readers are absolutely stupid and incompetent?

Max Blumenthal called Antony Blinken "the secretary of genocide" and he was removed from the press conference.

Saying that genocide is genocide has nothing to do with the "far-left".

Max Blumenthal & Miko Peled : Where is the War in Gaza Going?

I have said it before and I say it again: Those two guys. Are. Just. Outstanding.

It's the first time that I see them together in the same room, and they animated here such a thrillingly rich debate. When I listen to this kind of admirable people I can only think of Mahmoud Darwich's lines:

"On this earth there is

Something worth living for"

And there absolutely is. It's Humanity.

The term “The End of History” is mostly associated with Francis Fukuyama. In 1992 he wrote a book and argued that with the ascendancy of Western liberal democracy—which occurred after the Cold War (1945–1991) and the dissolution of the Soviet Union (1991)—humanity has reached "not just ... the passing of a particular period of post-war history, but the end of history as such: That is, the end-point of mankind's ideological evolution and the universalization of Western liberal democracy as the final form of human government." (Wikipedia) Liberal Democracy tried to take out God from the equation and right now, Palestinians are helping people all around the world to understand “If there is no God, all is permitted” (Fyodor Dostoevsky). And The Islamic Republic of Iran is showing the world the only solution and the true end of history: “Before this We wrote in the Psalms, after the Message (given to Moses): My servants the righteous, shall inherit the earth." (Quran, chapter The Prophets, translated by Yusufali). By God's power and strength, The Resistance will continue.

October 7 : The Ultimate Mask Off Moment - Max Blumenthal at UMass

Max Blumenthal spoke on May 8, 2024 at UMass-Amherst hours after state police brutally repressed an encampment of students protesting the US-backed genocide in Gaza. There, he addressed the Palestine solidarity uprising on campuses across the country, and explains how the elite reaction triggered by October 7 has exposed Israeli influence over the major American institutions, from academia to Congress to local law enforcement agencies.

Jeffrey Sachs Covid-19

Jeffrey Sachs reveals US biotech cartel behind Covid origins and coverup

Jeffrey Sachs joins The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal and Aaron Maté to discuss the investigation into the origins of Covid-19. As chair of the Lancet COVID-19 commission, Sachs alleges that SARS-CoV2 originated from dangerous gain of function experiments sponsored and conducted by US biotech institutions. He alleges a vast cover-up of Covid origins, including by former members of his commission, and details the personal attacks he has incurred for speaking out.

Guest: Jeffrey Sachs, Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University and chair of the Lancet COVID-19 commission

Jeffrey Sachs says Covid-19 'very likely' originated from US lab

When discussing Covid-19, Professor Jeffrey Sachs expressed his belief that it 'very likely' originated from a US lab. The US owes China and the world an explanation.

The Fort Detrick horror: a closer look at the US’ largest biochemical weapons research center | (29/may/2020)

For decades Fort Detrick was at the heart of ways of weaponizing pathogens & dispersing them silently over populations & even used unwitting Americans as guinea pigs. If they can do that to their own people, why not others ? | (23/apr/2020)

US CDC said #COVID19 named 2019-nCoV, is similar to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome SARS coronavirus, spread from animals to people. MERS virus particles are in blue, surrounding an infected cell. The undated image was taken at FORT DETRICK. 

Fort Detrick under the guidance of the CDC, no doubt, blame came far too quickly, as did source. | (11/mar/2020)

Well, since Wuhan lab has been probed, it is now turn for the US Fort Detrick biolab. Also, the US anti-pandemic fight guided by Mr Fauci is unimpressive, hopefully he can play a due role in persuading the Biden govt to cooperate with international investigation.

the song Wildfire (Gone, Gone, Gone) / Death Song

this is such blumentrio coded

The lyrics are the moment where things go to shit as Trent's teaching goes to hell.

You birth me a fire, long comin’

A world-eater between our lipsIt throbs to the forest floor, hummin'

As heat singes off eyelashes

Fire shivering up through our catkins

As critters call out warning cries, you say

You didn’t mean for this to happen

Your nose crinkles up when you lie

Fire melts honeysuckle petals

Nectar sizzles out writhing mouths

Mosquitos come rising in embers

the lyrics below could be him on his first time learning how to torture In the name of protecting the empire

Why in this light do you, boy, look proud?

then the rest of lyrics below are about the night Caleb lost his mind.

Gone will be our stick huts, our footprints

Our hand-dammed up streams

Gone will be any hint of you or of me

(Gone, Gone, Gone)

(Gone, Gone, Gone)

Fire stripping bark from the poplars

Groundweller’s homes collapse to graves

Like how I cling to you, ‘cause it’s familiar

Despite your breath’s heavy stench of doomsday

Gone will be our stick huts, our footprints

Our hand-dammed up streams

Gone will be any hint of you or of me

(Gone, Gone, Gone)

(Gone, Gone, Gone)

Fire ragin’ on past our treetops

Little bodies collapsing from smoke

And cedars, they blacken to cinders

Don’t recognize your face in this glow

(Oh)

Now the lyrics below are him realizing how he killed his parents after their screams reach him

Don’t recognize, don’t recognize, don’t recognize, don’t recognize

Don’t recognize, don’t recognize, gone, gone, gone

(Oh)

Don’t recognize, don’t recognize, don’t recognize, don’t recognize

Don’t recognize, don’t recognize, gone, gone, gone

(Oh) Don’t recognize, don’t recognize, don’t recognize, don’t recognize

Don’t recognize, don’t recognize, gone, gone, gone

(Oh) Don’t recognize, don’t recognize, don’t recognize, don’t recognize

Don’t recognize, don’t recognize

Don’t recognize, don’t recognize, don’t recognize, don’t recognize

Don’t recognize, don’t recognize, gone, gone, gone

Gone

so yes this whole song is coded for blumentrio. Because they loved each other even if it wasn't really healthy but it turns sour when Trent makes the kids kill their family. So yes listen to the artist Rabbitology
