War on Journalism Comes Home: Max Blumenthal ARRESTED in DC

 

Ben Norton:

Max Blumenthal, the editor of the news site The Grayzone, was arrested on the morning of October 25 on a fabricated charge related to the siege of the Venezuelan embassy in Washington, DC that took place between April and May.

A team of DC police officers appeared at Blumenthal’s door at just after 9 AM, demanding entry and threatening to break his door down. A number of officers had taken positions on the side of his home as though they were prepared for a SWAT-style raid.

 

‘This charge is 100% false’: Grayzone editor Max Blumenthal arrested months after reporting on Venezuelan opposition violence

Blumenthal was informed that he was accused of simple assault by a Venezuelan opposition member. He declared the charge completely baseless.

Max Blumenthal is one of the few real journalists left in this plastic fake news empire. He tells the truth about terrorism, foreign policy, Syria, etc. Get his book:

 

The Management of Savagery: How America’s National Security State Fueled the Rise of Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Donald Trump

 

 

His request for a phone call was denied by DC police and corrections officers, effectively denying him access to the outside world.

Foundation-Funded Rag Alternet Attacks Tulsi Gabbard

 

Is this the deep state in action already libeling 2020 presidential candidates?

Exposing lies in Zaid Jilani’s Alternet article on Tulsi Gabbard

The Syria Deception: Al Qaeda Goes to Hollywood

 

 

 

 

Alternet manages to cut Barack Obama completely out of the narrative, as if he never existed!

Some good investigation is included however.

It’s 2018, and Alternet okays “The Syria Deception.” I was doing it in June of 2012 (unpaid):

Syria: The First Casualty…

And I continued. I did not shy away from Barack Obama’s responsibility for this “regime change” dirty war:

Why ISIS Exists: The Double Game

 

 

 

N.E.D. Lies and Regime Change

 

ALTERNET ignores the responsibility of Obama and Clinton with its expose. It is not an independent source, relying on foundation money to produce propaganda. Their intent is to blame as much as possible on Republicans and to gloss over the Democrat responsibility.

 

Sonali Kolhatkar: Imperial Tool (@SonaliKolhatkar)

 

“Truthdig” (sic) contributor (and now Counterpunch), with longstanding ties to foundation-funded professional propaganda complex, demonizes dissenters, claims everything critical of White Helmets and Al Qaeda false flags is “fake.”

The Left, Syria and Fake News

Kolhatkar claims she doesn’t want US bombing of Syria, but she ignores seven years of covert arms smuggling to radical Islamists: the reason there is a war there at all. The professional “left” pretends the US hasn’t created the war with its willing partners. This is the type of propaganda Chomsky, et al. have banged out for years. They ignore the weapons, ignore the state-sponsored (CIA) smuggling, and they attack domestic dissenters instead.

For Sonali Kolhatkar’s education, here is everything posted here on the “White Helmets,” a fraudulent organization created to manufacture propaganda for people like Sonali to cry crocodile tears over and sell to western audiences.

The big photo cache of White Helmet members in their former roles as Al Qaeda fighters is the central post not to be missed:

Massive White Helmets Photo Cache

But dissenters are the fakes, Sonali? Not the Al Qaeda/White Helmets creating fake rescues? Not the Al Qaeda connected terrorists caught repeatedly with chemical weapons?

Maybe Sonali Kolhatkar is the real fake in this story…

PS.

In one of Kolhatkar’s own sources, cited in her Counterpunch piece:

Associated Press: Chemical weapons team in Syria kept from alleged attack site

Nuseir, 25, said he ran from the shelter to a nearby clinic and fainted. After he was revived, he returned to the shelter and found his wife and daughters dead, with foam coming from their mouths.

He and two other residents accused the rebel Army of Islam of carrying out the attack. As they spoke, government troops were not far away but out of earshot. Nuseir said a gas cylinder was found leaking the poison gas, adding that he didn’t think it was dropped from the air because it still looked intact.

Oooooops. How does the Army of Islam releasing chlorine in any way implicate Assad or the Russians???

Kolhatkar ignores half a decade’s revelations about the Islamists using chemical weapons, including UN inspector Carla del Ponte:

 

And yet Kolhatkar would arrogantly try to discredit us for knowing far more than she does about the situation. 

He who pays the piper calls the tune.

 

 

Et Tu @MaxBlumenthal ?

 

It’s come to my attention that Max Blumenthal, of Alternet fame, was pro regime-change in Syria before he was against it. Whether he had an honest change of heart is a big question, since he never really explained himself.

Here’s a bit of controversy.

I need to put this out for readers to decide since I promoted his pieces, despite him being connected to foundation-funded propaganda complex Alternet. They are the home of head-bobbing Chomsky drones and worse.

So, how about setting the record straight, Max?

Cry Me a River, Max Blumenthal

Syria – The Alternet Grayzone Of Smug Turncoats

At the time of that controversy, June 2012, this is how I personally handled the crisis in Syria (still far too relevant today):

Tom Engelhardt / Alternet

So sick of foundation funded lies

Misleading as usual. Jumps from Bush to Trump, with gaping hole in the foundation-funded narrative. A full 8-year gaping hole.

The hole is big enough to fly 4 jetliners through when he dares to write ignorantly about the 9/11 attacks. That topic is beyond sickening in the hands of you propagandists. Alternet cares nothing for facts and official admissions, and not one coward on their payroll will dare debate someone knowledgeable.

https://politicalfilm.wordpress.com/2016/09/11/911-28-pages-of-treason/

They willfully ignore everything from the CIA Inspector General, to the counter terrorism Czar, to the head of the senate select intelligence committee to the FBI agents who were blocked from stopping the attacks to a thousand other things, and they keep shoveling the same spin–Big Lie style.

Alternet is demonstrably about spin, not facts, on certain touchy subjects.

Alternet is Sick.

“Tens of thousands of Syrian children—children no different than your grandmother, whose lives have been marred by a war they did not choose—rely on your sense of compassion.”
–Alternet preaches on Syria

 

This is far too sick.

Obama murdered half a million Syrians and you assholes said nothing while it was happening. You said nothing about his demonstrable lies and propaganda, from massacres perpetrated by his terror proxies to be blamed on the government, to chemical weapons used by his terror proxies and blamed on the government, to the “tens of thousands of tons of weapons” arming Al Qaeda and ISIS from his good friends the Saudis and Qataris.

You assholes killed those children.

You.

I’ve been exposing it since 2012.

“White Helmets” Exposed

 

* ** NOTE: This story by Max Blumenthal appears on propaganda front “AlterNet,” which is an untrustworthy organization in need of investigation itself. Blumenthal has proven to be a decent journalist. Looks like a conflict.

Inside the Shadowy PR Firm That’s Lobbying for Regime Change in Syria

USAID is the White Helmets’ principal funder, committing at least $23 million to the group since 2013. This money was part of $339.6 million budgeted by USAIDfor “supporting activities that pursue a peaceful transition to a democratic and stable Syria” — or establishing a parallel governing structure that could fill the power vacuum once Bashar Al-Assad was removed.

…Looming over this opaque operation are questions about its connections to Avaaz, a global public relations outfit that played an instrumental role in generating support for a no-fly zone in Libya, and The Syria Campaign’s founding by Purpose, another PR firm spun out of Avaaz. James Sadri bristled when I asked about the issue, dismissing it as a “crank conspiracy” ginned up by Russian state media and hardcore Assadist elements.

 

Foundation-Funded Left Attacks #Millennials

 

Lefty Journo Attacks Millenials For Not Sucking Up To Hillary

Democrats/Gatekeepers & the “conspiracy theory” smear

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s not so theoretical when it’s true, huh?

ALTERNET published this, yesterday, astoundingly:

“Clinton’s Health Is a Barely Disguised Way for Conservatives to Wallow in Bigotry”

…”But with Hillary there is this weird, conspiratorial, possessive attitude.”

She and her campaign have blatantly lied about her health for a month now. These propaganda organs never note the lies of Democrats, presenting a completely one-sided fantastical discussion, similar to the right-wing propaganda they purport to criticize.

A month ago, August 15th, Clinton’s own website said:

“Trump Pushes Deranged Conspiracy About Clinton’s Health To Distract From Tax Return Questions”

A “deranged conspiracy” that, in-the-end turned out to be true. She collapsed, and has supposedly been diagnosed with pneumonia (if you believe that), which she poorly attempted to hide from everyone since mid-August.

Clinton has been lying about her health for a month. Inspires much confidence. A nice touch is that what turns out to be true was previously labeled by her own website as a “conspiracy theory.”

That’s the story of modern propaganda in a nutshell. They scare people away from looking too closely at them by smearing them as “conspiracy theorists.” This pattern appears pervasively at left-gatekeeper outlets. They are the boy who cried “conrpiracy theory,” abusing the term as much as possible.

A bonus lie, the Clinton website subheading is: “Factchecks.”

We know about Hillary Clinton’s conception of “facts.”

When you point out the real facts on propaganda sites like Alternet, there is only deafening silence. They do not respond to criticism, never did, and likely never will. They tell you; you don’t tell them. I have as much faith in their shady foundation-funded blinkered propaganda as I do in the Trump campaign.

Perhaps I can steer you toward an honest candidate?
