I have been subscribing to the Duran since January 2022. It is the only major site that I pay any money to. (I also pay $10 a year to Ground News).

Currently I am in England visiting relatives and friends - one of my sisters was 70 yesterday. I was last in England 20 months ago.

I have met and talked and listened to many since I have been here. Almost all of them only receive their news via corporate and mainstream media.

Here's my assessment of the difference in the 20 months. Even the most die-hard haters of Russia, no longer believe what they are being told by the media that they follow. In addition, many are now scared of the consequences of their government's actions.

There is hope.

I always recommend The Duran to others, even though I occasionally don't agree with their conclusions, and wish they would spend more time covering events in Palestine. They are still the only folks I watch on a daily basis.

Max Blumenthal, ADC sue the US gov't for seizing journalist's phones

The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal is joined by his legal counsel, American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) President Jenin Younes, to explain why they're suing DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin over the seizure of Blumenthal's phones after he returned from reporting in Iran.

Younes explains why the US government not only violated the Fourth Amendment and several federal court decisions by attempting an advanced search of Blumenthal's phones; she explains how it violated his First Amendment rights by apparently following marching orders from Laura Loomer, who boasted of lobbying key Trump officials to jail Blumenthal for his reporting.
