A year after Charlie Kirk’s killing, his organization has buried his criticism of Israel to maintain support from the Israel-based International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
With close ties to the Israeli government, the Fellowship is flooding conservative media with paid partnerships. By Max Blumenthal One year after Charlie Kirk’s killing, The Charlie Kirk Show is distributed by a federally registered agent of Israel and his widow, Erika, has reversed his critical positions on the US-Israeli special relationship. Now, The Grayzone can reveal that the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) organization he founded is holding faith events sponsored by an Israel-based non-profit with close ties to the Israeli government.

Setting the record straight on the Harp family and life in Nicaragua.
Preston Robert Harp is the brother of 35-year-old Trump aide Natalie Harp, whose near-comical levels of devotion to the president has placed her in the media spotlight. When US media outlets approached Preston Harp for interviews about his sister, they discovered that he was living in Nicaragua, where he worked alongside legendary antiwar activist S. Brian Willson, and was a dedicated supporter of the Sandinista Front. The corporate media quickly turned on him too, painting him as an equally unhinged, leftist version of his sister. Preston Harp joined The Grayzone to set the record straight about his family, his life in Nicaragua, and the country's Sandinista government in a wide-ranging interview with Wyatt Reed.Open
The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal is joined by American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee President Jenin Younes to discuss one of the most disturbing attempts to abuse the US legal system to criminalize pro-Palestine activism.
In a case that Blumenthal describes as one of the most absurd and dangerous cases he's seen, a notorious Zionist agitator, Kammara Sumrall, filed a federal lawsuit against an older Palestinian woman, Janine Ali, for supposedly grabbing an Israeli flag she was wearing around her neck. Sumrall has accused Ali of targeting her because she was Jewish, alleging that the Israeli flag is, in fact, the "Jewish flag." In rejecting a motion to dismiss, a judge agreed with the Zionist militant, stating that the Israeli flag "symbolizes the Jewish race." Younes provides the shocking details behind the lawsuit against her client.Open
Lurking behind Trump aligned leaders such as Javier Milei, Daniel Noboa, Jair Bolsonaro, and Nayib Bukele are lesser known but highly influential operatives who dictate the course of events in their countries.
Perhaps the most consequential of these figures is Fernando Cerimedo, a top advisor to the right-wing Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz, who’s known as MAGA’s man in Latin America. On August 18, Cerimedo was arrested and accused of masterminding an attack that would have killed his ex-girlfriend, the Bolivian lawyer Nadia Beller, who is pregnant. Beller miraculously survived four shots at point-blank range, and from her hospital bed, in a desperate bid to avoid being murdered, she denounced Cerimedo. The Grayzone reports on how Cerimedo's testimony exposes much more than her ex's lethal intentions. Beller reveals an entire network of CIA assets manipulating Latin American politics on behalf of Trump's Washington, and explains how a deluge…Open
An exclusive Grayzone investigation exposes how Britain’s top spying agency secretly influences the country’s state broadcaster
Leaked emails reveal Britain’s domestic spying service attempted to recruit a high-ranking BBC board member as a key agent of influence, at a time when the British state broadcaster was embroiled in a bitter legal and journalistic battle with MI5. By Kit Klarenberg This June, British oligarch Damon Buffini stepped down as deputy chair of the BBC’s board, and chair of the broadcaster’s commercial board. His four year tenure was warmly praised by the BBC board’s chair for the “record profits” generated by the broadcaster’s commercial wings. While mainstream reports on Buffini’s time at the BBC reference his background at the upper echelons of private equity giant Permira, the multi-millionaire’s relationship with a much…Open
The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal joins Kei Pritsker to reveal how Israel is activating its proxies inside the Pentagon and the media to keep President Donald Trump invested in a failing war on Iran, where the US is running out of stand-off munitions and interceptor stocks, and explains why Netanyahu has returned to Washington DC for a record eight meeting with Trump.
On July 21, The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal discussed his reporting from Iran and presented his analysis of the current phase of US war on the country before a packed house at Washington DC's Busboys and Poets.
Blumenthal then took questions from the crowd, including many Iranian Americans opposed to the lethal assault on the country of their birth.Open
government seizing Max Blumenthal’s devices after his Iran trip is a naked attempt to intimidate journalists and chill dissent. He entered on the same kind of press visa mainstream outlets use, yet CBP singled him out, interrogated him, and took his phones to punish reporting that challenges empire, Israel’s agenda, and the Trump-aligned censorship machine. This is not “security.” It’s viewpoint discrimination dressed up as border procedure.Open
Piers Morgan invited Max Blumenthal on to discuss his Iran reporting and the illegal seizure of his devices by the US govt, but spent much of his time questioning Blumenthal's "impartiality."
"I'm absolutely not impartial," Blumenthal explained. "I am not objective, and the concept of objectivity, as we understand it, is set out by the corporate media according to the parameters devised for them by their militant Zionist ruling class owners, who literally own the networks that you appear on." Blumenthal then illustrated how Morgan manufactured consent for the US-Israeli war on Iran by promoting inflated death tolls and a false narrative of the Israeli and US-sponsored regime change riots that rocked Iran in January.
