Max Blumenthal

Trinidadian labor leader David Abdulah joins The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal to discuss the mobilization of Caribbean social movements and multilateral organizations in resisting the US military build-up that has seen a wave of lethal American attacks on fishing boats on the dubious grounds of combatting "narco-terrorism."

Abdulah addresses the extrajudicial US assassination of two citizens of Trinidad and Tobago, and the role of his country's Prime Minister, Kamla Persad Bissessar, in supporting Trump and providing a full-throated endorsement of his escalating regime change war on neighboring Venezuela.

Finally, Abdulah offers a sweeping and incisive history of multi-lateral Caribbean efforts to foster regional integration, detailing Washington's attempts to keep the strategically important Caribbean rim fragmented and isolate nations from one another.

Join Max Blumenthal on a trip throughout Iran as he meets members of the second largest Jewish community in the region. In this collaboration with acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Maria Mavati, Blumenthal takes a look at the lives and rich history of Jews inside the Islamic Republic that might surprise outsiders, and which provides a stunning rebuke to Zionist portrayals of post-revolutionary Iran.

"I had read and heard so much about them," Blumenthal reflected on the Jewish Iranians he met during this project. "Some of it might have been true, but much of it felt like propaganda. So I wanted to see for myself – to meet Iran's Jews where they lived, in their congregations, and communities. What I found was an authentic brand of Judaism in practice, one representing thousands of years of tradition, and which today remains uncaptured by the militaristic force of Zionism."

Facing years in prison on federal arms trafficking charges, former US Green Beret and mercenary Jordan Goudreau presents his side of the story in this explosive tell-all interview with The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal.

Lampooned in the media for his failed "Bay of Piglets" plot, Goudreau insists he was the scapegoat for a clandestine 2020 "Operation Gideon" which was well known to and blessed by the highest levels of the US government.

Goudreau details previously unseen court documents and FBI files containing testimony of those involved in the plan to invade Venezuela and overthrow President Nicolás Maduro.

The files include FBI interviews with participants in the plot which demonstrate foreknowledge of the plot by Trump associates, leaders of the government of Colombia, CIA assets, and officials working directly under Vice President Mike Pence and Trump, and strongly suggest their support for it.

This interview provides a revealing backdrop for the latest phase of the US assault on Venezuela, as Trump directs a deadly naval blockade against the oil-rich country and authorizes "lethal" CIA action against its leadership.

The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal explains how the Biden administration refused to pressure Netanyahu into a ceasefire, leaving the perceived diplomatic win to Trump, who happens to be the most malleable vehicle for Israeli influence in US history. Max explains how Israel is already violating the ceasefire agreement while unleashing its extremist proxies in Gaza, and highlights extremely revealing statements Trump made during his Jerusalem speech in which he casually joked about Israel's control over his own policies.

Blumenthal explains how Zionist billionaires Larry and David Ellison are aggressively colonizing US media—CBS, Paramount, TikTok—to wage an unprecedented cognitive war against Palestine solidarity. Netanyahu’s “eightfront war” weaponizes AI and social media, flooding the American psyche with propaganda while digitally suppressing dissent. This shadowy merger of tech, finance, and intelligence signals a creeping fifth column steering US policy and public opinion in service of apartheid and endless regional violence.

In a wide-ranging and at times contentious discussion, The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal interviews Bilal Abdul Kareem, an activist and journalist from Mount Vernon, New York who moved to Syria and provided coverage of key events throughout the battle for Syria, while emerging as one of the most influential English language promoters of the Islamist forces seeking to topple ex-President Bashar al-Assad.

Abdul Kareem details his interactions with leaders of the armed opposition, his imprisonment under the government of Ahmad Al-Sharaa (aka Mohammed Jolani) when he ruled the Idlib province, and harshly critiques Al-Sharaa's failure to provide freedom or accountability to the Syrian people now that he's president.

Abdul Kareem addresses the deepening conflict between Al-Sharaa's exclusively Sunni government and the Alawite and Druze minorities, and assesses the presence of Israeli occupation forces inside Syria's Golan, explaining why he believes the new government in Damascus has been unwilling or unable to confront the latest round of aggression.
