There is no fucking message because what Blumenthal is selling here is absolutely nothing new as it relates to the left in the US, and instead an attempt to launder the reputation of a fascist right wing movement. Mar-a-lago was either an FBI cleanup operation to save some asses, or just the US deep state duking it out a la Yankees v Cowboys circa 70-80s. It means nothing for the left because the left is going to be targeted, blood drawn if necessary, regardless of what happens to the Cheeto in Chief. Why is Bluementhal so bent on defending downright fascists like Tulsi Gabbard and reactionaries like Dore? If you understand that, then you understand the opportunism of the Grayzone crowd, and then the history of the Grayzone crowd makes sense, and then it should make sense to you that Max Blumenthal has in fact not changed one bit

Tulsi spoke out about the US funding ISIS to fight Assad and was basically banished from US media. Dore just has misinformed takes about things that are kinda radlib.

I don’t see anything wrong with calling out the CIA controlled “left”.

Banished from the media = hosting Tucker Carlson’s show on Fox News, Carlson himself being a noted CIA applicant who was in Nicaragua during Iran-Contra. Or do you think the CIA only has their men in black on one side of the political spectrum?

Dan Bongino was calling the Ukraine war a mistake on his radio show today, should I start waxing poetic about him? What exactly do you think political opportunism is?

How is it political opportunism? She doesn’t have a future in politics anymore. So going on Fox News is an inherent bad thing? What if no one else is willing to give her air time? I see no evidence of full grift ALA Yeonmi Park.

I doubt the CIA likes being called out for funding terrorism.

If she is a right wing grifter like you’re claiming she would have prominent roles on right wing media, not just being interviewed because she said stuff that makes liberals look bad.
