Navalny was out for a WALK when he died. Assange isn't allowed out for a walk.
Exactly. How much you wanna bet Navalny's prison situation was errily similar to OG Hitler -- plush private cell, no gang rape, liberal visitor policy, access to media, quality food
How do you know?
@@MrSniperdude01 - Guys are not gang raped in prison, only in your dreams. The food is good, clearly you have never been there.
👍
It is not true. Listen to Julian Assange's wife interview. In Russia, Navalny was starved and spent 269 days in a punishment cell. For two years, the authorities in Russia did not even allow him to call his wife, and burn his and her letters. Stella and her children visit Assange every week. You are so biased. I support both of them. I believe that this is the only position that is not hypocritical.
Free Julian Assange
FREE LULIAN ASSANGE !!! FREE PABLO GONZALEZ!!!
Free Julian Assange

That's real helpful.
The western media want us to believe Navalny is Nelson Mandela 😅
He is Navalny. And he is amazing. If you spoke Russian and could discover his life path - you would see ho an amazing personality he is. I am from Ukraine and even I understand how brave and amazing this guy was
@@hermosavibe"amazing" like that nazi supporter guy right
@@hermosavibeI have seen his hate speech on videos. He is just another white supremist
@@hermosavibeAn amazing scammer, criminal and traitor that's what he was. He still said Crimea belongs to Russia though ;)
@@hermosavibeBloody hell!!🤦♀️
*If Blinken is praising someone that person must be a nasty character.*
It is a black-white thinking - a huge thinking mistake
Yeah, because Blinken is the worst kind of person imaginable, spouting platitudes all the while facilitating Genocide.
💯
So true.
It's a good rule of thumb. It is now impossible to believe ANYTHING, even slightly controversial, that comes out of the CIA Mockingbird mouth of our corporate mass media.
Navalny praised Augusto Pinochet once if I recall. He was a far-right lunatic.
Really?
Are you sure he didn't say "Pinocchio"? Russian accent and all 😉
@@cazza6944 A white nationalist.
He is a racist and white supremacist working for the three letter agencies of US and UK. There is video evidence of that.
@@vaska1999 "white nationalist" the CIA is proud of you!
R.I.P. Gonzalo Lira🕊 "I cannot accept the way my son has died. He was tortured, extorted, incommunicado for 8 months and 11 days and the US Embassy did nothing to help my son. The responsibility of this tragedy is the dictator zelensky with the concurrence of a senile American President, Joe biden" - Lira's father
This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal. Aaron Bushnell
Genocide Joe is not so senile that he does not know and understand exactly what he is doing. He has been a war mongering devil his entire life. Everyone in his family pays the price for his sins, his 1st wife dies, one son dies from illness, Hunter is consumed with drugs and his current wife has cancer. Did he sell their souls also ?
True.
Fascist countries ignore the real heroes.
@@DMC1982🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏
What? Are people still talking about this Navalny clown, prop for the pro war media, perfectly timed distraction from Assange? Okay, might as well stick around and learn a thing or two...
The fact that Nav. wife was reading her speach, doesn't give me any confidence in coincidence.
She is a millionaire and was fucking some other guy while her hubby was in jail
While straddling her Russian Oligarch in exile boyfriend for last two years.
She fits very well the role of a "saint" ! @@rcmrcm3370
Russia took Crimea? how about the people voting overwhelmingly to return to Russia.
you cant invade a country and then hold a referendum that is illegal.
noboby cares about what people voted for among west poloticians, unfortunatly
Sure, when army comes to you and drive you to the voting booth there is no pressure to vote certain way.
@@michasosnowski5918 Get real, they're all Russians that in the recent past were told they now live in Ukraine, of course they're going to vote to return to Russia, they all despise Kiev(aka US/EU/NGOs) Get in the game !
@@michasosnowski5918oh yeah like American institutions trying to kick Trump off the ballot?
He wasn’t gonna be put in jail if he came back because Russia allowed him to go to Germany for treatment. He was put in jail because he kept violating his parole after he came back. So no, he wasn’t brave
Абсолютно верно. Просто за пределами России пропаганда ужасно влияет на простых людей, которые не понимают как все устроено в России.
Yes, this seams sloppy for TheGrayzone, they're usually much better than this.
And at first he wasn't imprisoned under harsh conditions. He had plenty of opprtunities to make all sorts of statements from prison and once even a full interview. That's why he was sent to a maximum security prison in Siberia. I wonder how many statements from Assange have whe heard about all this years.
@@farerolobos9382he was not sent to maximum security prison to shut him up…that was part of sentence for stealing money and destroying,,Kirov les,,and Scamming people…in any country for such crimes any person would end up in max security prison.Nothing to see with hands of PUTIN at all.He ended up dying in prison for crimes he committed
@@farerolobos9382 He had two suspended parole convictions, that allowed him free reign as long as he responded back monthly, he just plainly refused to do that. I think they were too lenient to him which gave him thedelusion he was untouchable. Another mistake was letting Khodorkovsky go.
Budanov said last night on TV: you are going to be disappointed, it’s a blood clot.
Because they are trying to incriminate that someone murdered him, that's where in certain cases blood clot happen, budanov is a propagandist, a banderite extremist
was he jabbed lol
@@jacobbell8171That would be the ultimate irony that most people would actually miss.
It is simply disgusting of Cornell West to mention Navalny in the same breath as those other real political prisoners.
Cornel West isn't exactly what we'd call "well informed." John Coltrane, Aretha Franklin, and all his other dead musician friends agree.
he is a radlib, a true centrist.
For someone that's a professor, he sure.says dumb things.
To be fair. Assange’s wife linked JA to Navalny. She did separate him as a state opposition operator different to JA. But I think some people feel the only way to bring people to Julian Assange and Leonard Peltier into the mainstream consciousness is to link them to trending stories. Hard to get traction without mainstream.
you are so wrong(
Scott Ritter had an excellent break down of Navalny and his suspicious death.
Ray McGovern said he thought the British were responsible.
@@krisniznik3953 Mi6 CIA same handlers basically. he had a visitor that gave him meds the day before.
Where's the interview?
@@Komnenos1234 it was on Sabby Sabs
@@Komnenos1234 I think it was with Andrew Napolitano a couple days after Navalny died.
Kudos to Gray Zone. You shame MSM with every podcast. 😤 Navalny 😤
Sorry Aaron you're way to kind - Navalny was a scumbag
If he really was poisened with said substance he never could have survived.
He would have died in the room, and the people going in the room would have died, and anyone who would have later on survived from that room, would had serious muscle problems if they wouldn't wear a full protection suit. The idea that he, or the ex-spy and his daughter in UK, to survive from that claimed poison is as valid as someone surviving from a ground zero of a nuclear bomb.
Also people around him .
@barbarawilson9565 that's more to the point. Novichok is deadly to handle, deadly to breath, and incredibly dangerous to anyone near someone who has been exposed. If Navalny had been poisoned with Novichok then he'd have had to handled by medical personnel wearing hazmat suits with a primary oxygen source. It's so dangerous that it's illegal to use everywhere.
also if he was poisoned, his medical sheets would have been published by the Germans, yet they are still classified. Why - would a normal thinking person ask, I believe.
According to Jacques Baud, an ex swiss intelligence service officer, they found an article in The Lancet that describe Navalny situation that concluded that the 'poison' was bad interaction between multiple medication and copious alcohol the night before...
Well, think about it. Russia also blew up their own pipeline.... According to Blinkin
Speaking of Navalny, stupidity and arrogance doesn't equal bravery.
Like many criminals, he returned to the scene of his crimes, eager for yet further ill-gotten gains.
MSM has portrayed navalny as a hero. In reality he's a villain.
He's a greedy sellout
JULIAN ASSANGE is in prison but USA crying about Navalny?
Operation paperclip never ended
Neither did operation aerodynamic
the financiers and industrialists who funded Hitler's war machine come from the same families who started the CIA. The flags can change but the objective is always the same
@@averageamerican6727I have no idea how I didn't know about that but thank you for bringing it to people's attention. Literally openly arming and supporting Nazis since the 50's... I hate the US with every fiber of my being.
Operation Gladio
look up Operation Aerodynamic.
Attributing “bravery”and “courage” to CIA-MI6-asset Navalny seems counterfactual to all that’s known about him Aaron.
Exactly. He erroneously thought that his connection to these entities would protect him, since up until that point he had been handled with kid gloves. So delusionaryfigured he was untouchable.
I agree. I don’t think it was so brave of him to return to Russia, it was just part of the job, being arrested by the «evil dictator» was good for optics for his handlers. Having Navalny living abroad would be useless to them. So it’s more likely that they pushed him to return.
@cat237 He broke his parole several times before for over 2 years and nothing was done to him for the Yves-Rocher case. So I guess he felt he was on cloud nine.
@@MuantanamoMobile exactly. He got really overconfident. On top of being an ego driven narcissist.
@MuantanamoMobile Remember to be America’s enemy is dangerous to be its friend is deadly! I find it hard to believe he didn’t have some concerns for his safety. He might have been between the proverbial rock and hard place. Perhaps he really was convinced he would take Purim’s crown. Still takes balls though!
I think it more probable that Navalny was talked to go back to Russia by the CIA. It wasn't courage as Navalny was convinced that he was too "big" to be arrested, especially since he had been so gently handled before.
You just do not understand the values of freedom fighters They are always ready to die for an idea You do not understand it because of different mentality
He was never the opposition the corporate servile media made him out to be. He ran for mayor of Moscow and lost and also attended many marches with skin head ultranationalists . How convenient his wife just happened to be at the Munich security conference just days after his death. Lets not forget running for political office he also siphoned off funds and that was part of the reason he was sentenced to prison the first time.
YOU are SO wrong! I am from Ukraine and last 15 years I have been watching his fight, if you would know how much he did you would feel a ashamed for your words
@@hermosavibe😂😅
@@hermosavibeyou’re from Ukraine and defending a far right extremist, and Russian traitor!! Why am I not surprised?! But I think you people have actually convinced yourselves that you are right!! Tragic!!😟
@@TepurangaHeremaia-ce4qeit is not funny at all. Because of biased perception people die in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, and even Russia. I understand that I is hard to do not be a biased person
@@hermosavibeso was Navalny pretending to be a far right Russian Nationalist extremist?! Or pretending to be a principled anti corruption campaigner?! Or rather the question should be…which incarnation proved more profitable and advantageous?? 🤔
Thank you for shouting out Leonard Peltier! He should be able to go home to die but FBI really holds a grudge when they get caught screwing up. It's breaking my heart this list of names that cannot be forgotten...is still growing.
🙏🇳🇱
just goes to show the deep state has waged a long war on indigenous people for a long time. why? because they care and are close to the land they live on
The ultimate form of honest, unbiased and courageous journalism. God bless you both👍🙏
So basically a spy who died of the clot shot.
His German based lawyers delivered "medicine" 2 days before Navalnys "unexpected" death. His wife just happened to be fortuitously standing by the microphone at the NATO meeting to denounce Putin for the Navalny death.
If you still wondering what drove him to go back to Russia ask the MI6 and the CIA. I can tell you this, he is not brave at all. He was no use for the CIA and the MI6 if stayed away from Russia that’s what he forced to go back to Russia.
Correction.. he was heavily 'induced'... money drives everything, in this fight against Russia. Also if he was so 'nationalist' he wouldn't have sold out to US
Lexaim Navalson was a head of Jewish opposition in Russia on behalf of the CIA and MI6.
Tomorrow I pay my tax. Then its time to support your work. Nothing could be more important than to support our real journalists.
Thanks for shining the light because so so many people simply have NO idea or knowledge of Navalny.
He committed fraud, got charged with embezzlement .
Yes. Kirovles.
@@sardis6619 Hedefrauded both aFrench company - Yves Rocher of$540,000 and a RusState timber corporation. This was prior to hisPoliticalActivities. The Yves Rocher case was initially launched by Yves themselves.
@6619 It was also against theFrench cosmetics company Yves Rocher ($500,000) and a local state timber company-Kirovles($35,000), he did business with. He just got a fine and 3.5-year suspendedsentence for this, meaning he didn't have to serve time. But had to stick to parole conditions. It was theFrench company that first launched the case, which was then taken up by theState.
@@sardis6619 Kirovles was kind of victimless crime somewhat similar to Trump's NY civil case.

Yeah, I have quit taking Cornel West seriously. West said he and his wife prayed for guidance about his candidacy. He should have consulted some state election law attorneys and fundraisers instead of Jesus.
His too manic.Jill Stein 💚has good policies.
Thank you Grayzone. Independent journalists with journalistic integrity are the heroes of our time.
The strangest thing in this poisoning story are Navalny's colleagues who stayed in the same hotel as him the day before. After Navalny had fainted on the plane they immediately went to his room to "gather evidence" despite the fact that the plane had yet to return and they had no way of knowing that Navalny was allegedly poisoned.
What a coincidence that his wife was in the Munich conference the day he died too, nothing suspicious at all…
Yes, not merely as an attendee, but as a speaker, at a conference she was uniquely unqualified to attend. Incidentally the grieving widow has been living with another man for 2 years.
It is a sport. Look at what they put up the UN stage at times. The speeches they give and the aplause they get. Hilariously sad.
Free Assange, Navalny i dont care
Hypocrisy doesn't happen unintentionally, its foundational to Western foreign policy.
Navalny actually never "changed his tune" in regards to his nationalistic racist views, that's something the propaganda simply made up because they'd like it to be that way (just like that he's "the opposition leader" in Russia). In fact, as Jacques Baud has found out, Navalny explicitly told The Guardian in 2017 that he does not regret making the racist cockroach/dentist videos - and Der Spiegel in 2020 (!): "I have the same views that I held when I went into politics."
His mother says his wife lured him to return and then never visited him and how interesting she was in Munich when he died.
Navalny would have definitely called Blinken a cockroach.
For me, Grayzone is on the leading edge of courage. Many of us who follow you may not realise that you continually pay a high price to give us the info that you give. It takes courage considering you do not do this because you are being paid by someone, but because its the right thing to do. All the best guys.
I believe Navalny's wife was the catalyst for his return to Russia, she is a curiously connected woman...
Not brave ….paid enough.
I would bet 99 to 1, that he returned to Russia from Berlin, because he figured WHO poisoned him in reality; and not because he was so courageous. He was a traitor to Russia and a criminal, but he was not stupid; on a contrary- he was smart. Additionally, he knew full well that his “employers” only needed him IN Russia; he was too sick to be kept alive somewhere in the West’s safe place for any useful purposes in the far away future. He also remembered the death of Nemtsov. Who also was a useful sacrifice when he outlived his usefulness for the West. He knew very well how the Russian doctor in Siberia fought for his life: he personally WAS there to know it!!! And he also knew, that like Nemtsov, he didn’t perform well enough to make it worth the money that his owners spent on him. He knew they already tried to poison him once; and they will do it again. He hoped that Russia could save him his life in prison, where the long arm of the West will not find him. He was wrong. It did.
Poison with Novichok ,? You can't survive ..
can always find truthful facts and honesty from the Grayzone
Shouldn't Blinken be referred to as the Israeli Secretary of State?
Just heard today something about him actually dying from blood clots? Hmm I wonder if he was vaccinated?
Didn't he go to prison the first time for corruption??
If exposing a crime is treated as commiting a crime you know we are being ruled by criminals. Edward Snowden
Salute 🫡 guys
Thank you! The western world is becoming increasingly authoritarian 😢we need your voices! Free Assange!
You should listen to Scott Ritter’s assessment his involvement with …
That is why I love your channel. You won't find these facts anywhere, anywhere else
Blinken lies without blinkin’
Good report from both gentlemen ! I do however question his bravery maybe his naivety in trusting western intelligence agencies!!
Holaaaa. Ustedes son un sol. Me encanta su honestidad y compromiso con la transparencia
…en medio de un mundo gris y abarrotado de verdades ficcionadas y manoseadas por interese innombrables
Great discussion, Thank you!
It always amazes me how the CIA/FBI/ Western media always have all the details of these types of crimes/incidents within a day after they happen. Even for some events that happen in foreign hostile countries, even in war zones, they are able to do complete investigations in a day or two.
We've almost forgotten about the Skripals in the UK
But have you all forgotten about his cat ? 🤣
you know it was all true by how quickly it vanished after the debunking.
MI6. Probably involved
Are they living or dead? Like Schroedingers cat.
Aaron, it was not Navalny but one of his team members who met with British service to discuss sponsoring his efforts with millions.
Same difference.
One of his team!! On behalf of him!! What on Earth is the difference?!🤷🏻♀️🤦♀️
Did Navalny Join Skull and Bones when he was at Yale ??
You are not allowed to ask that question just ask Tim Russert
It was Navalny's top aide, Vladimir Ashurkov that met MI6 operative James William Thomas Ford which was covertly filmed NOT Navalny himself.
In Russia the mafia is heavily involved in Politics . How come the west just assumes that the elected government is involved and that opposition politicians are all squeaky clean ? Are western journalists that stupid ? Oh, yes they ARE , because they do the exact same kind of onesideism , while covering politics in the West. they pick a team, and say that one team is perfect and without fault, and the other team is horrible and can do no good. Putin is popular in Russia because he is the best anti-corruption candidate . He came through the CIA , just like Bush Snr. He did not have to politic and get funding from "businessmen" , to run his campaign. This makes him much CLEANER than the people who want to remove him.
Dude died of a clot.
Thanks guys
I am always impressed by the meticulous journalism demonstrated by the Grayzone.
Thank you!
i disagree with this whole Navalnys courage narative. he had to return, he had a job to do for the C.I.A.
Navalny can't have "changed his tune recently" because he's dead.
I've said it previously. And, I'll say it again. Aaron and Max are the best. Thank you for presenting a more truthful picture of Navalny. I certainly swallowed the lies that my US government and mainstream press put out. Now, I can connect the dots thanks to this video. Keep up the great work you're doing here.
He was brave??? Lol - he was doing what he was told to do, I doubt he had any say. Besides he thought that he could get away with it yet again, well, not this time. All his crimes caught up with him...
True💯!👍
Thanks!
Thank you.
Very interesting 👌
☝🏽❤️ & Respect GZ …
To be our enemy is dangerous, to be our friend is fatal. He might've been on the verge of flipping, his ambitions had been disappointed twice before. He definitely outgrew his usefulness and I'm sure he could've proved an embarrassment. As for his 'popularity', it's amazing the kind of friendships and support you get with unlimited American dollars.
Anthony Blinken speaking like a man who intends to be taken seriously is comedy gold.
Aaron is a real journalist. Honesty and objectivity are rare these days. But he still underestimates Trump's intentions for peace and it drives me batshit crazy.
The CPRF is the second largest political party,and main opposition party in Russia, fact.
Yes, Putin’s "main opposition " is still the Communist Party with 20% support.
His lawyer on visit gave him medicine the week before he died. One wonders...
2 days before his death.
here is a joke: the gipsy wants to sell a blind horse for a good price.The buyer of course wants to try,but because the horse is blind they go into a wall.the buyer says : oy,gipsy, this horse is blind!!! The gipsy says :the horse is not blind but very very brave!!! Navalny? He was just stupid.
Excellent analysis site !
No, he was not courageous . He followed orders being a coward.
Very good!
Cornel West missed the most significant political prisoner who is fighting his last stand against being extradited to the US, Julian Assange. How dare he overlooked Julian!
Ty❤
Great work!
These things need to be said, sadly, it will all be dismissed as apologia
I’m so mad at Washington state is forcing me a D or R. I should have a right to vote Independent⁉️.
He died of a blood clot!
Awesome stuff m’boys
Thank God, no one in Russia cares.
Now, do a piece on Gonzalo Lira! Go!
Blinken, whose ancestors fled Ukraine because of the nationalist pogroms, defends the interests of the ideological followers of the instigators of those very pogroms. Does he have shame?
Exactly my thought
I think he said his ancestor fled Russia. Kiev.
@@katymeigs5290 That’s right - he forgot to clarify that such a state as Ukraine did not exist in history.
If the US wanted to save Navalney they could have proposed a swap of Assange for Navalney but they didnt.
If the CIA thought he was an asset, but he was actually double-crossing them… when the CIA found out, the safest place he could be is in Russia… even safer would be Siberian prison inside Russia. Russia would have NO reason to kill a man they already have isolated in a Siberian prison, so… ✌🏼
Thanx
