During an off-the-record panel, AIPAC’s CEO detailed his organization’s grooming of Trump’s top national security officials, and how his group’s “access” ensures they continue to follow Israel’s agenda. The Grayzone has obtained audio of an off-the-record session from the 2025 Congressional Summit of AIPAC, the main US lobbying arm of the state of Israel. Recorded by an attendee of the panel discussion, the audio features AIPAC’s new CEO, Elliott Brandt, describing how his organization has cultivated influence with three top […]

In this interview with Oli Dugmore, for Politics JOE, I had a chance to lay out – in around 30 minutes – the political economics and economic history behind Donald Trump’s tariff war. As I said to Oli, those of us who oppose Trump have a duty to understand what his team are up to […]

China Cuts The Legs Out Underneath The US LNG Industry

I didn’t see this coming:

In a move that stunned traders, analysts and policymakers alike, China has just announced a complete halt on all liquefied natural gas imports from the United States. A decision made abruptly with no prior indication, no phased reduction and no explanation beyond a terse statement from Beijing…

…China was one of the fastest growing markets for American LNG, importing more than four million tons annually. Cutting that overnight is more than symbolic, it’s surgical.

Early reactions have been nothing short of panic. Energy markets were jolted, LNG prices in Europe and Asia swung wildly and US energy firms reported immediate financial hits…

3:45 a.m. – Wake naturally to the soft sigh of a ghost. Or maybe it’s the hum of the Amherst wind through the shutters. Either way, it’s a Sign. Do not question the Sign.

4:00 a.m. – Lie completely still and compose six hauntingly perfect quatrains in your mind. Refuse to scribble them down. Let them ferment in the silence like forbidden knowledge.

4:45 a.m. – Tape mouth shut. This is not for health. It’s a vow of silence to preserve the sanctity of unspoken verse.

5:00 a.m. – Dwell in possibility while donning a flawless white gown. Consider briefly wearing a beige one, then laugh inwardly. This mortal coil is no place for earth tones.

5:30 a.m. – Place a single drop of rosewater on your forehead. It’s not skincare; it’s communion with eternity.

6:00 a.m. – Practice 1,872 quill strokes. Each stroke corresponds to a previously unpublished poem. Resist the urge to show anyone. Genius is a private affair.

An investigative report has placed Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa at the center of a vast conspiracy to transform his government into a laundromat for transnational drug cartels. The Grayzone spoke to Andres Duran, the journalist who broke the bombshell story, and who had to go into exile to save his own life. Ecuador teeters on the edge of a narco abyss, awash in violence, and with its dollarized economy and strategic ports transformed into a cocaine highway through Guayaquil to […]

While waiting for the EU’s response to the Trump Shock (don’t hold your breath for evidence of intelligent life from Brussels…), those of you who really want to worry about something big, turn your attentions to perhaps the largest threat for the status quo – greater than tariffs, equities, bond prices etc. What is that? […]

This is a crucial conversation to have in general, not particularly about Marine Le Pen. It is about the principled position that the democratic Left must take on the question of who has the right to remove the political rights (the right to vote and to seek votes) of whom. We know what can happen […]

7 April 2025 was the launch date for the report of the Lancet Commission on Gender and Global Health. I'm a co-author, along with the colleagues listed below - an international network, who have been working on this project since 2020. The process was interrupted and delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic - which itself brought important issues about gender and global health to the surface. The Report is a 66-page document with a main narrative and a variety of illustrative cases of policies, programmes and problems.
