Western governments and media outlets have heroized a Belarusian regime-change activist who was arrested on a forcibly grounded plane, named Roman Protasevich.

What they aren't mentioning is that he's a far-right extremist who joined neo-Nazis in Ukraine and was cultivated by the US government’s propaganda apparatus.

After Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu paved its way into Israel’s parliament, the fascist Jewish Power party sparked anti-Palestinian pogroms, giving him a pretext to attack Gaza.

With tens of millions of dollars over years of work, CIA front USAID helped create and train Nicaragua’s anti-Sandinista opposition.

At the center of its operations is the elite Chamorro Foundation, which stands accused of money laundering.

The US government and corporate media are running a cynical PR campaign to legitimize rebranded Syrian al-Qaeda, HTS, and market its leader Mohammad Jolani as a strategic American “asset.”

A top US diplomat admitted that Washington has communicated with Syrian al-Qaeda “through people in the media, people in the NGO world who did have direct contacts with them.”

A wealthy, entitled heiress who received millions of dollars seized from the Iranian people by the US government, named Sulome Anderson, waged an absurd McCarthyite lawfare campaign to try to censor and destroy The Grayzone.

Now that a judge has dismissed her frivolous million-dollar lawsuit, we can expose her sham journalism and the powerful neoconservative forces that egged on her legal assault.

A US-trained Honduran army intelligence officer who was president of a hydroelectric corporation has been found guilty for murdering renowned environmentalist Berta Cáceres.

Facing growing outcry, OPCW Director General Fernando Arias went before the UN and told new falsehoods about his organization’s Syria cover-up scandal — along with more disingenuous excuses to avoid addressing it.

The US government is using rhetoric about "freedom of expression" to meddle in Cuba's internal politics and destabilize the country.

CIA cutouts are cultivating anti-government musicians and artists, turning them into a counter-revolutionary weapon.

We exposed the internal workings of the regime-change operation:

Former British diplomat and independent journalist Craig Murray is the first person imprisoned in the UK over media contempt in 50 years.

The top Scottish court's decision to imprison him has put the final nail in the coffin of citizen journalism. The judges have ruled they will be the ones to decide who is considered a journalist and thereby who receives legal protections for their work. This is a barely concealed way for the state to license or “credentialize” journalists. It turns journalism into a professional guild with only official, corporate journalists safe from legal retribution by the state.

We reported from inside Nicaragua on the 42nd anniversary of the Sandinista Revolution.

Biden picked up where Trump left off and has been aggressively bombing Somalia.

Successive US administrations have cycled through a myriad of excuses to bomb the country, not acknowledging that they are bombing the very "terrorists" they created.

Geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar argues the US defeat in Afghanistan “is even more important than 9/11.”

The invasion of Afghanistan marked the beginning of the US "war on terror," and Washington's withdrawal marks the end. US policymakers will now dedicate even more resources to the new cold war, to try to contain China and Russia, and Afghanistan will join the process of Eurasian political and economic integration.

From "the CIA at Harvard" and his NED-funded think tank, the renowned "nonviolent" political strategist Gene Sharp created new tactics to overthrow governments that Washington (and US corporations) had targeted for regime change.

Sharp declared, "I say nonviolent struggle is armed struggle ... Only with this type of struggle, one fights with psychological weapons, social weapons, economic weapons, and political weapons ... This is a technique of combat; it is a substitute for war and other violence; it is not compromise."
