Back in April 2023, The Grayzone exposed how Riyadh recruited then managed the two would-be hijackers on behalf of the CIA.

When a 21-page declaration by lead investigator for the Office of Military Commissions Don Canestraro finally appeared in unredacted form in 2023, the…Open

The Iran War To End the Iran War, We Must Look Beyond Munich Other historical analogies offer more relevant lessons. (Smithsonian American Art Museum, Gift of the Sulgrave Institution of the U.S. and Great Britain/Creative Commons) In 1919, John Maynard Keynes left the Paris Peace Conference convinced the Allies were making a blunder of historic proportions. In The Economic Consequences of the Peace, he prophesied that the terms imposed by the victors were so punitive they would wreck the defeated Germans’ economy and set the stage for another world war. He was right, and there is a lesson here for President Trump’s…Open
Government records uncovered in recent court filings show that the Department of Homeland Security launched a mass surveillance operation against groups that protested the immigration crackdown in Minnesota – including labor unions, nonprofits and climate groups. Undercover agents sat in churches, schools and public libraries, and infiltrated Signal chats. Emilia González Avalos, a Minneapolis organizer whose meeting was surveilled, said the operation "feels like a confession." The government, she added, "came looking for a conspiracy and found neighbors."
AI:Government records released through recent court filings reveal that the Department of Homeland Security conducted an extensive mass surveillance operation targeting various groups protesting the Trump administration's immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota. This intelligence-gathering effort involved undercover agents infiltrating private communications on Signal and monitoring sensitive locations such as churches, schools, and public libraries to monitor activities of labor unions, nonprofits, and climate activists.

A far-left Twitch streamer and a progressive Michigan Senate candidate laughed off longtime Democratic strategist James Carville's warning that he might quit the party over their growing influence, calling the threat a selling point. Hasan Piker and Abdul El-Sayed, the progressive candidate in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary, sat down for a video on Piker's YouTube channel the day before the primary and treated Carville's ultimatum as a punchline. Carville had appeared on Fox News' The Sunday Briefing days earlier and drawn a hard line: he and Piker would not remain in the same political party. One of them, Carville said, was going to leave, and it might be him. Rather than worry about losing a strategist who helped elect Bill…Open
