The shift began with Covid, specially when the ‘‘Freedumb Truckers’’ showed up in Canada, and the Patsocs were on the rise, which also coincides with the return of the Larouchies and the notoriety of CPI…It also coincides with Max showing up on Jimmy Dore’s show more frequently, and instead of influencing Jimmy towards the left, again, since he had been shifting right himself, Max fell in with Jimmy…He marched in D.C along with reactionaries that were against lockdowns and vaccine mandates, and the day I saw him walk out on stage with sunglasses to the cheers of MAGA, alongside Awaken with JP and some snake oil peddlers, I unsubscribed from the Grayzone. During that time, as an addendum, I was subbed to Mint Press News, and Max’s friend, Dan Cohen, whom has done decent work before on Haiti and isn’treal, also chomped at the bit of the antivax bullshit that swept the US, and was at that same march. That day, I unsubscribed from Behind the Headlines, Dan Cohen’s show, and Mint Press News for giving a platform to that shit.

After Ben left The Grayzone, the quality of guests, articles and the audience itself, got worse…This is not a matter of taste, or an opinion, this is a fact. If you’re listening to people whose focus is on the WEF, Karl Schwab, Covid, punching down on LGBTQ+ people cause you think it’s part of some western assery to interfere in other countries, that speak of ‘‘globalists’’, that think the US can be reformed or fixed, and are still attached to it, then you’re not getting the correct information, nor, ideological formation. I don’t care if every blue moon, they say something right about Ukraine or some other world issue. If that comes at the expense of selling some new form of ‘‘Judeo-Bolshevism’’, then I want no part of it. Cause at the end of the day, things in the world have simple explanations.
