After dismantling a New York Times front page feature alleging “a broader pattern of gender-based violence on Oct. 7” by Hamas, The Grayzone is demanding answers of the paper for its journalistic malpractice. The following was submitted to New York Times editors and lead author, Jeffrey Gettleman. The Grayzone has identified serious issues with the credibility of key sources quoted in the New York Times’ December 28 story, “Screams Without Words: How Hamas Weaponized Sexual Violence on October 7.” Authored […]

"They don’t particularly like being answerable to the media and they like even less the scrutiny that comes with public office."
For the time being I will continue my Wednesday format where I cover some things that crossed my mind in the last week but which I don’t provide detailed analysis. The items can be totally orthogonal. The latest inflation data for Australia continues to affirm the transitory narrative – dropping significantly over the last month.…
Get a load of the latest “policy” proposals on immigration coming from Stephen Miller and the extreme white nationalists: AS HE CAMPAIGNS on a pledge to lead an unprecedented crackdown on legal and illegal immigration, former President Donald Trump has vowed to invoke an 18th-century wartime law to help fuel his massive deportation operations. According to three people familiar with the policy deliberations, Trump, his advisers, and allies have been developing legally dubious justifications and theories to give Trump what he would ostensibly need to wield the archaic law as a weapon against the undocumented if he’s elected president again. If Trump were to try to invoke the Alien Enemies Act for this purpose, it would almost certainly provoke court challenges, since the law is meant to target the actions of foreign governments and regimes during wartime, not alleged criminals, gangs, or non-state actors.
Did you think he wouldn’t go there?

Paul Krugman makes an important point today that I’ve been dying for someone with a big perch to make about the economy. The constant media refrain that the “American public” is deeply dissatisfied with everything, especially the economy ,does not tell the whole story: The economy is good, but Americans feel bad about it. Or do they? The more I look into it, the more I’m convinced that much of what looks like poor public perception about the economy is actually just Republicans angry that Donald Trump isn’t still president. Last year was a very good one for the U.S. economy. Job growth was strong, unemployment remained near a 50-year low and inflation plunged. Some reports I’ve seen suggest that this favorable combination was somehow paradoxical and contrary to economic theory. In fact, however, it’s exactly what textbook economics says to expect in an economy experiencing an improvement in its productive capacity. […] Furthermore, the source of the positive supply shock is obvious: The economy finally got past the disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

“A president has to have immunity. And the other thing was, I did nothing wrong. We did nothing wrong.” The argument before the panel on the DC circuit was held this morning and it doesn’t sound like they were buying it: Former Manhattan prosecutor Karen Agnifilo took to CNN Tuesday to discuss a moment in Trump’s presidential immunity hearing when his trial lawyers were confronted with past statements made in his impeachment hearings in January 2021. “Clearly, Trump’s arguments in other forums are coming back to haunt him,” Agnifilo said. “You cannot be inconsistent and disingenuous when you are speaking to the court.” Agnifilo was responding to a question from host Kaitlan Collins, who noted Trump’s impeachment lawyers said presidents could be criminally prosecuted.Skip Ad The former prosecutor then argued that the three judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit would take into account past legal forums before they ruled on the two protections Trump wants to claim.

Listen up, lemmings, because I’m about to clue you in to some hard truths. The mainstream media is trying to keep you in the dark about this story I just heard in the mainstream media.
Read this news article. Why the hell isn’t this in the news?
The fact is, the media elites don’t want you tracking this, because it threatens their power. But I’ve been digging, and this is a major problem that goes back years. Just check out these examples I’ve collected from the Associated Press, CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, the Los Angeles Times, the BBC, Al Jazeera, and PBS. And yet, despite how pervasive this issue is, not a single news organization is covering it.
Want to know how badly we’ve been brainwashed? Before I heard of this issue, I’d never even heard of it.
US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby called the South African application “meritless, counterproductive and completely without any basis in fact whatsoever.” John Mearsheimer has considered the 84-page “application” that South Africa has filed with the International Court of Justice, accusing Israel of of committing genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza and requesting “that the Continue reading »
