Max Blumenthal The Grayzone Charlie Kirk’s media empire and his right-wing activist organization, Turning Point USA (TPUSA), have come under the control of the Israel-directed forces he spent the last months of his life antagonizing. Erika Kirk now claims her husband supported Israel to the end, while TPUSA misrepresents his opposition to war on Iran. The Charlie Kirk Show is now distributed by a federally registered agent of Israel tasked with seeding American media with Zionist propaganda. It is part of a whopping $46 million dollar annual contract between the Israeli government and Brad Parscale, the former chief of…
The International Red Cross in action, 1864. Public Domain. The United States is going through a period of gloom and doom. Confidence in its institutions has fallen, politics is deeply polarized, and talk of decline has now become mainstream. The American Dream has turned into a global nightmare.

As part of President Donald Trump’s plan to deport every single undocumented immigrant—and perhaps tens of millions of citizens and legal residents—the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) planned to spend billions of dollars buying up industrial warehouses across the country. The stated purpose was to convert them into detention centers to house migrants targeted for deportation, with the ultimate goal of expanding total detention capacity to 100,000.

Ávila, a longtime organizer with the flotilla movement, alleges that activists were seized hundreds of miles from Gaza, held aboard what he describes as a floating military prison, denied adequate food and medical care, subjected to beatings,…
The social engineers have done a wonderful job of turning women against men in modern Western society. In women under 25, only one-third had a positive opinion of men. The figures weren’t much better for high-wage-earning women, as only 36% viewed men favorably. Eugenics takes various forms and fashions, including driving a social wedge between the sexes as a means of slowing population growth. Big Pharma has contributed to the division by warping the minds of women with SSRIs, birth control pills, and vaccines.

The decision, in yesterday’s Rabiebna v. Higher Ed. Aids Bd., was written by Justice Annette Kingsland Ziegler, and joined by Justices Rebecca Grassl Bradley, Brian Hagedorn, and Janet Protasiewicz. The program provided state funds to students who were black; American Indian; Hispanic, meaning “a person of any race whose ancestors originated in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Central America or South America or whose culture or origin is Spanish”; or (to oversimplify slightly) of Laotian, Vietnamese, or Cambodian extraction. The opinions are long, but the majority basically applied Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President & Fellows of Harvard Coll. (2023).…
