Paul Mason instigated GCHQ targeting of The Grayzone’s Kit Klarenberg, leaks reveal

 

Leaked material reviewed by The Grayzone reveals failed ‘journalist’ Paul Mason conspired with GCHQ to monitor and attack this journalist and other critics. What did the British intelligence agency do with the sensitive information he secretly provided?

Leaked correspondence reviewed by The Grayzone reveals disgraced journalist Paul Mason covertly collaborated with  a unit of the GCHQ intelligence service to monitor and inform on perceived adversaries, including this reporter. In addition to feeding intel on independent reporters to British intelligence, the material shows that Mason privately coordinated his public narrative about a supposed Russian “hack” of his emails with British agents.

The revelations come as a national scandal has exploded in Britain after the ruling Labour party was caught targeting journalists, including me, because they’d been investigating financial corruption by Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s top aide, Morgan McSweeney.

On January 27, The Grayzone exposed how former celebrity leftist journalist-turned-security state snitch Paul Mason employed the services of a high-priced legal firm in hopes of silencing his critics. Mason launched his revenge plot after a Grayzone investigation exposed his secret collaboration with state-connected operatives to undermine the British anti-war left. His crusade fell flat, with lawyers warning him against taking any action, while confirming The Grayzone’s reporting on his leaked emails was in the public interest.

Desperate for retribution, Mason went to the a division of the GCHQ intelligence services called the National Cyber Security Centre for a second opinion. From June 2022 to December 2023, he corresponded regularly with a high level contact within the Centre, sharing information about individuals he falsely accused of being somehow implicated in the “hack” of his emails, including this journalist.

In his frantic bid to destroy those who accused him of collaborating with the security state, Mason would only confirm their harshest allegations, placing journalists like myself in the crosshairs of the GCHQ for exposing his vindictive schemes.  (more...)

Ombudsman Rules in Favour of Student Suspended for “F*ck Israel” Post

 

The English Montreal School Board was ordered to retrain staff on its anti-bullying policy and students’ rights.

Royal West Academy has been rebuked by a provincial watchdog for suspending a student who posted “Fuck Israel. Holy shit” on her private Instagram last year.

Quebec’s student ombudsman has ordered the school and the English Montreal School Board (EMSB) to retrain relevant staff on the school board’s antibullying policy. It also demanded they review how to apply disciplinary sanctions in a way that respects students’ rights.

In a February ruling, the ombudsman overturned Royal West’s decision to punish a student because she used a curse word to criticize Israel on her private social media account. An administrator told the student, who we’ll call Dawn, that her post made Jewish classmates feel unsafe. 

Dawn’s family challenged the decision before the ombudsman, who ruled in their favour late last month.

But while the EMSB responded to the ombudsman’s ruling on Feb. 27, it did not inform Dawn or her family. It only wrote an email to the student two weeks later, after her parents inquired about the case.

“Unfortunately, we neglected to forward the letter to your attention,” an employee on the EMSB wrote in an email to Dawn’s family.

Members of the group Independent Jewish Voices Canada (IJV) protested outside EMSB’s head office on March 17, demanding the board publicly apologize to Dawn. They also denounced the school board’s participation in a fundraiser that would send three EMSB students to Israel as it wages a war that killed 1,300 Iranian civilians in less than a month.  (more...)

Tell the truth — Israel is a regime of Jewish supremacy

 

Most Palestine supporters in Canada are racist. They refuse to name Israel’s form of supremacism and some will even label you antisemitic for doing so.

“A Regime of Jewish Supremacy from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea: This Is Apartheid”, was the title of a 2021 report published by liberal Jewish Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem. The landmark study details how Jewish supremacy predominates throughout the territory controlled by Israel in policies on land use, movement, citizenship and political rights. It explains, “The key tool Israel uses to implement the principle of Jewish supremacy is engineering space geographically, demographically and politically. Jews go about their lives in a single, contiguous space where they enjoy full rights and self-determination. In contrast, Palestinians live in a space that is fragmented into several units, each with a different set of rights – given or denied by Israel, but always inferior to the rights accorded to Jews.”

Some are seeking to extend Jewish supremacist colonialism to Lebanon notes Haaretz in “‘Judaize the Litani’’ Under Cover of War, Israel’s Right-wing Camp Pushes to Expand Borders – and Settle Lebanon.” The recent article discusses an effort to depopulate southern Lebanon of Muslims, Christians and atheists and to replace them with Jewish colonists.

The former head of Canada’s Jewish Defence League openly backs “Judaizing” southern Lebanon. Meir Weinstein also backs the racist road network in the West Bank in which thousands of Canadian Jewish colonists who live in the occupied territory can travel but that bars Palestinian Muslims, Christians and atheists. More honest about the form of supremacy than many on the left, Weinstein openly calls to “Make Gaza Jewish”.  (more...)

Dublin denies freedom to students protesting against genocide

 

I was alone at the University College Dublin encampment when I heard knocks on the cabin door. Eight police officers were standing outside – as well as staff from Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.

A body camera worn by one of the police officers blinded me. The police then informed me that they had arrived to clear an “illegal encampment” on public land and assist any homeless people who may be living there.

I made clear that I was not homeless but a UCD alumnus and that the encampment was a political protest.

Before we were evicted in the early hours of 13 January, we had been camping at the entrance to UCD on the N11 road for 132 days. On occasions, that had involved sleeping in subzero temperatures.

The encampment began as a response to new research partnerships between UCD and Israel’s Technion and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.

Both of those institutions play a direct role in the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and in upholding Israel’s apartheid system. The Technion, in particular, serves as a laboratory for developing weapons that are tested out on Palestinians.

UCD confirmed in 2024 that it was participating in 11 European Union-funded projects with Israeli partners.

The 1948 Genocide Convention places an onus on governments and public bodies around the world to prevent and punish the crime of genocide.

By maintaining cooperation – and even worse entering new partnerships – with Israel as it inflicts a genocide on Gaza, UCD is refusing to honor its obligations under international law.

Our encampment was set up amid a wider push by students and teachers across Europe. The aim of that push is to expel Israel from Horizon Europe, the EU’s scientific research program.  (more...)

Technate, Ohio: How Leslie Wexner and Jeffrey Epstein Built The Silicon Heartland

 

Ohio has become the new destination for Big Tech data centers and AI infrastructure. The state owes much of its rapid transformation into the so-called “Silicon Heartland” to the now vast array of public-private partnerships pioneered by the state’s richest man, Leslie Wexner, and his former money manager and fixer, Jeffrey Epstein.

Early last year, shortly after Donald Trump took office for his second term, former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy announced he was departing the recently-formed Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) after reports of conflict with the department’s co-head, Elon Musk. Ramaswamy joined Fox News to clarify these rumors, and to tease his next endeavor –– holding public office. Ramaswamy noted Musk’s approach was “a technology approach,” whereas his was “focused more on a constitutional law, legislative-based approach.” He furthered, “when you’re talking about a constitutional revival, it’s not just done through the federal government, it’s done through federalism, where states also lead the way.” Despite their differences, Ramaswamy importantly remarked that they were both “on the same page” and that their attempts “in saving the country” required them to “divide and conquer.”

Towards the end of the interview, Ramaswamy mentioned he was flying back to Ohio that week, with an announcement regarding his expressed intention of pushing for reform at the state level coming shortly. The former presidential hopeful explained that when “we look at the country over the last 20 years, Silicon Valley was at the bleeding edge of the American economy. I think the Ohio River Valley can be at the bleeding edge of the American economy for the next 20 years.” A few weeks later, Ramaswamy’s gubernatorial campaign for Ohio was announced and the former D.O.G.E. co-head was promptly endorsed by President Trump. Over the course of that campaign, Vivek’s fortunes have quite literally soared. Since launching his campaign, he has not only come to command a massive campaign war chest filled by deep-pocketed donors, but his own net worth has doubled.

While many once labeled this campaign as a clear demotion for Ramaswamy, the reality of an emerging Ohio –– specifically as it relates to the technocratic goals of the Trump administration and its donors –– paints a vastly different picture. As noted in Iain Davis’ book The Technocratic Dark State, D.O.G.E. –– the agency Ramaswamy co-led –– is part of a larger effort led largely by a small group of the ultra-wealthy to completely privatize the public sector in the name of greater “efficiency” and have it ruled by “techno-kings” or dictator “CEOs.” Davis frames this as a modern iteration of technocracy, bolstered by tech billionaires with close ties to the Trump administration, such as Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. Thiel is the long-time benefactor of former Ohio Congressmen and current Vice President J.D. Vance. Notably, Ohio’s richest man Leslie Wexner, along with help from the infamous Jeffrey Epstein (a Thiel associate), has spent decades creating “partnerships” where private interests, including those he directly controls, dominate its state and local governments. In some cases, such as the Columbus suburb of New Albany, they have completely replaced them.

Quietly over the last decade, Ohio has become a state of incredible national importance, as it continues to attract data centers from American “royalty” and Big Tech stalwarts into its friendly regulatory borders. But long before Amazon, Meta, Anduril, Microsoft and others took their power-hungry –– literally and figuratively –– refuge in the Buckeye State, the most well-known financier of Jeffrey Epstein, Leslie Wexner, and his extensive crime-linked network were laying the foundation for the new Silicon Valley, now known as the Silicon Heartland, along the Ohio River.  (more...)
