Max Blumenthal on Censorship and Masongate

Max Blumenthal's episode is UP on Youtube!

To clear up the confusion, Aaron and Max’s livestream on the Grayzone got censored from Youtube. Youtube is still allowing this episode of Useful Idiots. So check it out now! And click here for the full interview.

In secret meetings and leaked emails, Paul Mason and Nina Jankowicz work to silence journalists who don’t promote the approved message. In public, they complain that journalists bully them, and do vile things like publish past things they’ve said.

And who does Youtube side with? The supercalifragicensors.

The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal is here to explain.

Leaked emails show that Paul Mason, a prominent UK journalist, privately discussed plans to collaborate with UK intelligence to “deplatform” independent journalists like The Grayzone and target UK’s Corbynite, anti-war left. As #Masongate trends on Twitter, Mason nonetheless got his wish: YouTube removed Max and Aaron’s livestream about it.

So, fellow Useful Idiots, listen, learn about Mason, and then tweet the hell out of #Masongate.

And hear the full interview where Max discusses deeper censorship plots, leaked emails, and a shameless 60 Minutes promotion.

Plus, Aaron just got accused of being a top Russian-influenced Twitter account for such offenses as “promoting a general mistrust in institutions and elites.” It gets crazier every week.

It’s all this, and more, on this week’s episode of Useful Idiots. Check it out.

My definition of a “useful idiot” is somebody who naively aids communist revolutionaries in the belief that he or she is fighting for social justice. Once the Marxists take control and eliminate the opposition the “useful idiots” are next to go before the firing squad. Modern examples include Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Matt, what is your definition?

Will America be entirely gay in a few generations? Will everyone be mentally ill? It would appear so from a straight-line extrapolation of the stunning rise in both LGBT identification and mental illness among young Americans.

Aaron, good work on your latest report, but, come on, it's going after low hanging fruit, albeit a heavy load, nevertheless, it's generally agreed among gentleman and gentlewomen , LA wasn't a great general. His quick retirement was predicated upon his poor handing of the US proxy/ISIS against Syria, that debacle notwithstanding ,his "work" as a MIC salesman was transparent enuff to pass muster and his seven year restriction exemption which allowed his appointment DOD top dog was rubber stamped by Congressional majority shareholders. Blah blah. . . Kudos and killer looks.
