"So close was the bond between Obama and Bongo that Foreign Policy branded the Gabonese leader, 'Obama’s Man in Africa.'"

How close was the bond? Chicago gay bathhouse strong?

The Grayzone is an American fringe, far-left news website and blog, founded and edited by American journalist Max Blumenthal. The website, initially founded as The Grayzone Project, was affiliated with AlterNet before becoming independent in early 2018. It is known for its critical coverage of the US and its foreign policy and sympathetic coverage of authoritarian regimes. The Grayzone has downplayed or denied the Chinese government's human rights abuses against Uyghurs, published conspiracy theories about Venezuela, Xinjiang, Syria, and other regions, and published pro-Russian propaganda during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Grayzone writers such as Blumenthal and Aaron Maté acted as briefers on behalf of the Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the United Nations at UN meetings organised by Russia.

Probably as close as Obongos man they just found dead at the bottom of a lake on the estate.

Gabon has the same voting protocol to elect Bongos as the USA does to elect Biden.

USA is now Gabon. A coup is what it will take to remove our corrupted government. Until then, we can enjoy the grifting and gaslighting.

Ali Bongo is the son of former president Omar Bongo ...

alter flaker is a paid pro Ukraine propagandist.

Grayzone is easily consistent with Tucker Carlson on the war in Ukraine.

Bongo’s election fraud in Gabon is nearly as bad as what’s done in the US. But it does look like a happy ending, at least in Gabon.

“... and published pro-Russian propaganda during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.”

Thanks for the tip! We only get pro-Western lies, but it looks as though Gray Zone balances that out somewhat.

Yep, arguably the biggest Clintonista. The trolls and quislings lapping up Clinton and foreign gov't propaganda are ruining a once great website.
