Who Killed Charlie Kirk?

Who Killed Charlie Kirk?

by | Sep 16, 2025 |

I had the pleasure of appearing on Charlie Kirk’s program a few times over the years and I always found him to be polite, respectful, and genuinely interested in ideas. Even in areas where we might not have agreed, he listened carefully. He was a strong advocate of free speech and he made a career of trying to convince the youth of the value of free speech and dialogue regardless of political differences. At the young age of 31 years old, he had already founded and ran the largest conservative...

Billionaire Bill Ackman convened stormy Israel ‘intervention’ with Charlie Kirk, sources say

by | Sep 16, 2025 |

On September 11, one day after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, billionaire pro-Israel moneyman Bill Ackman took to Twitter/X to trumpet his relationship with the late conservative operative. “I feel incredibly privileged to have spent a day and shared a meal with @charliekirk11 this summer. He was a giant of a man.” The Grayzone has spoken to five people with intimate knowledge of Kirk’s meeting with Ackman, which was held in early August. According to one source, Kirk was left...

Why Shouldn’t Trump Be Convicted and Impeached for Murder?

Why Shouldn’t Trump Be Convicted and Impeached for Murder?

by | Sep 16, 2025 |

The U.S. Code provides that a murder of a foreigner by an American citizen on the high seas is a federal criminal offense. The pertinent sections are 18 U.S.C. Section 1111 (Murder) and 18 U.S.C. Section 7 (Special Maritime and Territorial Jurisdiction of the United States). The U.S. Constitution provides that the president shall be removed from office on impeachment and conviction of “high crimes.” It goes without saying that murder is a “high crime.” So, the question arises: Why shouldn’t...

The Neo-Nazi Who Knew Too Much?

by | Sep 15, 2025 |

On August 30th, Andriy Parubiy was shot dead in broad daylight in Lviv, Ukraine. A key figure in the foreign-fomented Maidan putsch and a prominent and influential politician locally for many years, he was mourned by a welter of British, European and US officials. Within three days, Parubiy’s murderer was arrested and pleaded guilty. Wholly unremorseful, the assassin claimed his actions were “revenge on the state” for his son having disappeared - presumed...

Charlie Kirk refused Netanyahu funding offer, was ‘frightened’ by pro-Israel forces before death, friend reveals

Charlie Kirk refused Netanyahu funding offer, was ‘frightened’ by pro-Israel forces before death, friend reveals

by , | Sep 12, 2025 |

Charlie Kirk rejected an offer earlier this year from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to arrange a massive new infusion of Zionist money into his Turning Point USA (TPUSA) organization, America’s largest conservative youth association, according to a longtime friend of the slain commentator speaking on the condition of anonymity. The source told The Grayzone that the late pro-Trump influencer believed Netanyahu was trying to cow him into silence as he began to publicly question...

The Benefit of the Drug War to Donald Trump

The Benefit of the Drug War to Donald Trump

by | Sep 11, 2025 |

From the standpoint of many US officials, one can easily see why they find the drug war advantageous. Like the drug lords and drug cartels, there is a huge drug-war federal bureaucracy that has grown dependent on the drug war. There are, for example, generous salaries for federal judges (plus lifetime appointments), federal prosecutors, DEA agents, court clerks and secretaries, law clerks, and others, all of which would dry up if the drug war were ended and drugs were legalized. Just like the...

Unaccountable Israel

Unaccountable Israel

by | Sep 11, 2025 |

The Criminal State of Israel continues to initiate acts of war against states that are not at war with Israel.  The most recent was an Israeli attack on a residential building in Qatar.  Qatar’s Foreign Ministry accused Israel of “state terrorism.” A residential building is a place where people reside.  Israel’s criminal action managed to kill six Qatari citizens, but not the Hamas leaders Israel allegedly was targeting.  Israel’s ambassador to Washington,...

Taking the Constitution Seriously

Taking the Constitution Seriously

by | Sep 11, 2025 |

Last week, the President of the United States did not take the Constitution seriously. He ordered the murders of 11 people who were riding in a speedboat in the Caribbean Sea around 1,300 miles from the U.S. Afterward he said he did so because he believed that they were members of a “narco-terrorist gang" and were delivering illegal drugs to America. He also did so, he said, as a "message" to other drug dealers who should fear a similar fate. The boat had no ability to reach the US According...

The Fear-Mongering Rackets of the US National-Security State

The Fear-Mongering Rackets of the US National-Security State

by | Sep 10, 2025 |

The end of the Cold War in 1989 provided a fantastic opportunity for a major reset in relations between the American people and the people of Russia, China, Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam, and other nations that US officials had long designated as official enemies of the United States. For almost 45 years following the end of World War II, US officials had inculcated a mindset of deep fear among the American people — fear that the Russians, Chinese, and other communist nations were coming to get...

Trump’s Economic Team Pursues the Chimera of Collapsing the Russian Economy

Trump’s Economic Team Pursues the Chimera of Collapsing the Russian Economy

by | Sep 9, 2025 |

I don’t know US Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Scott Bessent, but I am told by people who worked with him on Wall Street that he is a really smart guy. But based on his most recent claim over the weekend that he believes a new round of sanctions — which includes shutting off the flow of Russian oil and natural gas to China and India — will collapse the Russian economy. Bessent’s statement tells me he understands nothing about the resilience of the Russian economy, nothing about the nature of...

Can Trump re-adjust in the post-Tianjin SCO moment? Was the timing of China ‘throwing down the SCO gauntlet’ entirely fortuitous?

Can Trump re-adjust in the post-Tianjin SCO moment? Was the timing of China ‘throwing down the SCO gauntlet’ entirely fortuitous?

by | Sep 9, 2025 |

The gloves are off. The SCO Summit was a clear demonstration of the reality of power starkly coalescing, on the one hand, and one of power visibly ebbing, on the other. The amazing military parade was the summit counterpart – it spoke loudly: You want to take us on? “We are ready.” China has thrown down the gauntlet with precision timing. (You’d almost think they had planned it that way …). “History is being written – in Russian and Chinese ink,” observed one Russian commentator. Western...

Is Too Late to Establish a Department of Peace?

Is Too Late to Establish a Department of Peace?

by | Sep 8, 2025 |

Our waning and wanton superpower wields the world’s most expensive military, with the most expensive armaments. Washington, DC’s privilege, emerging technology, and newly assumed mantle of global mightiness fused like a bad weld in the 1947 National Security Act, producing a unleashable CIA and an unbounded and unhinged Department of Defense. It is right and proper that this permanent military bureaucracy be known as the Department of War. Everyone on the planet recognizes that it has not...

Making Corporatism Great Again

by | Sep 8, 2025 |

President Trump has recently endorsed a policy that is arguably as socialist as anything proposed by New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani or Sen. Bernie Sanders — partial government ownership of private corporations. Earlier this year, as a condition of approving Nippon Steel’s purchase of US Steel, President Trump demanded Nippon give the US government a “golden share” in US Steel. This golden share allows the US government to overrule Nippon’s management if the government determines...

The Danger of Loyalty Tests in US Foreign Policy

Shahed Ghoreishi was a career‑level press officer who drafted a single, straightforward line for the State Department press office: “We do not support forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza.” A short time later his proposed language was cut, and days after that he was fired — an action colleagues told reporters sent a “chilling message” through the building that veering from the administration’s framing could threaten a person’s job. That is far more than a personnel dispute. It...

Partisan Democrats Even Oppose Efforts To End War In Ukraine

Partisan Democrats Even Oppose Efforts To End War In Ukraine

by | Sep 6, 2025 |

The Democrats are so partisan now and so eager to criticize President Trump on anything he does that they are even attacking him for entering into peace negotiations with Vladimir Putin. They are so desperate that they are even attacking him on things they used to favor, such as being tough on trade and trying to bring more jobs back to the U.S. The war between Russia and Ukraine never would have happened and could have easily been avoided if we had stuck by previous commitments by President...

The Sword Swings Over Soros

by | Sep 6, 2025 |

Last week, US President Donald Trump wrote on his social media page that George Soros and his "radical leftist son," Alexander Soros, should be indicted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) because they support organizations that incite violent protests and riots through the Open Society Foundations (OSF) in the United States. The American president said, “Soros and his group of psychopaths have caused enormous damage ” to the...
