## Resource

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Max Blumenthal, Editor in Chief of The Grayzone. He discusses how Mossad will seek to sabotage the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding, Israel’s failures in Iran proving that Israel cannot achieve its objectives without US firepower, how the liberal NGOs manufactured the consent for Trump’s ‘Operation Epic Fury’ against Iran and how Israel & the US manufactured the conditions for the January protests, why he believes the Memorandum of Understanding will fail and the Strait of Hormuz will not remain open, why more repression is coming both at home in the USA and abroad, the fight against AIPAC-sponsored politicians and the Israel lobby, why Donald Trump increasingly feels used by Israel, the prospect of a new third-party rising from the MAGA civil war, whether Donald Trump will pivot back to the Ukraine proxy war, and much more.
