Food, Farming & Ecocide

Helena Norberg-Hodge

My beloved friend and comrade, Helena Norberg-Hodge, founder of the nonprofit organisation, Local Futures, turned 80 this month. She is a voice of reason in a world gone mad, where competition rules over cooperation, global over local, division over unity, chemical-intensive food over natural food, war over conflict resolution. Her work includes public speaking, founding NGOs, opening farmers’ markets, writing books and articles and making films to inspire us to rebel against the corporate stranglehold.

One of her most recent projects is a series of interviews with 33 voices from 13 countries on topics such as food and farming, mental health, education, economics, community, spirituality and activism to end the globalists’ takeover of finance, governments and trade and to protect small-scale, local, family and community-run businesses, not least local food for local consumption.

The trailer above is just an introduction to a treasure trove of wisdom, which can all be watched in full by clicking here: https://www.localfutures.org/programs/planet-local-voices/

Watch; British farming is doomed and we’re all to blame; Farming Explained, 26 January 2026

Oli Fletcher; “What’s happening to the countryside now is Thatcherism. This might seem a little strange at first because farms are often in private hands, but the food system has been supported by the taxpayer. This is something the Conservatives didn’t really want to do, so they swapped out the land-based subsidies for nature payments, which then opened the door for the Labour Party sharing in the neo-liberal consensus, to take them away. There is a slight difficulty in challenging this consensus because it’s largely unspoken. If you look carefully, they do say it occasionally. Here is a government statement saying they are going to lower food prices by suspending import tariffs on a whole range of products. These changes will support key growth sectors such as advanced manufacturing. This is exactly why they repealed the corn laws. So, for economic growth, we are going to offshore food production. This is exactly what has happened with steel and most other manufacturing since Thatcher. Offshoring production and relying on imports has three main benefits. Firstly, you don’t have to subsidise British farmers to make the things they produce cheaper, so you can save all of the money that’s been paid to them by the government since the Second World War. There’s a big win for the taxpayer there. Secondly, these cheap imports will reduce the price of food and therefore the cost of living. This is a benefit for the consumer. And the third advantage is that you can do something else with the land. If you can get it in the hands of a corporation or some other entity with a strong profit motive, they will do biodiversity gain or solar or housing, or in some cases maybe industrial pig and chicken units. These things will generate more money than traditional farming, so they will create growth. It’s a win for the economy. This transition to more profitable land use will happen naturally over time as farmers are undercut and bankrupted by the free trade agreements that have already been signed. But there’s no time like the present, and it would be better if you could get the farmers off the land quickly, which you do, as Lloyd George did with an inheritance tax. But when Lloyd George did it, the wealth moved down to normal people. Today, land is too expensive to be brought by normal people and paid for with work, so it will move up and gather in the hands of the people and entities who can afford it. So this is what we’re up against. We have seen some movement on the inheritance tax, but it’s important to remember that the inheritance tax is a small component of a much broader food policy. And the inheritance tax isn’t even necessary for the whole idea to work.

There are, of course, lots of reasons the new neo-liberal consensus is a bad idea. Food security in the face of climate change and also the present political instability is something we should be taking seriously. The idea that we can rely on shipping and other countries to feed us is something that might have made sense in the globalism of the immediate post Cold War era, but that era is quietly slipping away. Offshoring production will not help fight climate change. Our climate and land is very good at producing things like cereals, meat and dairy. If we instead import those products from places that are warmer, where the cows suffer from heat stress or the land isn’t quite as good, you’re going to have more emissions per unit produced, and the planet will be worse off. Importing food will be bad for our balance of payments because we’re sending money abroad to pay for it, and because we’re now a post-industrial country, the justification given for that in the 1930s that we need to be selling manufactured products abroad doesn’t really stand. To allow these cheaper imports in we will have to reduce our food standards, which will be bad for our health and rural jobs and communities, and arguably culture. I also think this industry has been intentionally run into the ground to now justify getting rid of it, which is what they did to the railways. We all know that a fair amount of the problems facing British farming could be solved with regulation, which wouldn’t necessarily cost the government anything. But regulation has been stripped away. The Conservatives got rid of the Milk Marketing Board in 1993. This had been a buyer of last resort and supported the milk price, so removing it allowed the supermarkets to use their buying power to take the monetary value of efficiency gains off dairy farmers. But in this unspoken neo-liberal economic doctrine, they can now turn around and say, ‘well, the farmers are unprofitable and the economy would actually benefit if we now got rid of them’. This is how they dismantled the railways. The government ran inconsistent services at unhelpful times, so people stopped using them. And then they could say, this isn’t working anymore, we’ll have to get rid of it. Thatcherism is happening to British farming.”

Read the label carefully to suss their PR tricks.

Watch reel; UK supermarkets are using MISLEADING food labels to confuse shoppers and HIDE imported products behind British branding; Essex Bloke, 2 January 2026

“‘Which’ exposed the biggest supermarket meat scam. You think you’re buying British meat, but you are not and the supermarkets are making millions from this. You have worked hard all your life for you and your family to just get it taken away from you. Let me show you. ‘Which’ exposed the scam in 2024. It all began when Sainsbury’s, Asda and Aldi were missing labels from fruit and vegetables. Lidl sausage rolls containing pork from Britain and some from not. But which is it? Aldi pies with a Union Jack slapped on it but EU meat inside. Half the time these labels are just useless. They are making it impossible for you to buy British. Morrison’s limited edition ribeye steak containing beef from Britain or Australia. Which one is it? There’s no way for you to pick which one you want. You know it’ll be the Australian one in the packet, don’t you? This is the same Morrisons that sponsors Clarkson’s Farm, plastering its shops in British banners. Farmers like me called it a betrayal. This farmer calls it fraud. These supermarkets want all the credit for saying they support British farms, but they don’t. Marketing being BS, this will kill British farming, not champion it. You want British, you go into shops and buy British. You want better welfare, proper transport, genuine labelling and a more thriving British economy. Supermarkets deliberately confuse us to protect their imports and to make more cash. Let’s say British farm gate prices are five to seven pounds a kilo. The supermarket will then charge you ten pounds a kilo. Then they can get the imports for even cheaper and slip them in without you knowing, but still charging you British prices. You pay more and they pocket the difference. It’s not a level playing field because British farms cannot compete with the import prices. Less welfare, not the same standards as in the UK, pulling the wool over everybody’s eyes. Every vague label is another nail in the British farming coffin. Now, the government, they want this. There’s no clear labelling enforcement in place, nothing by law, it’s full of loopholes. This protects supermarket profits and does not benefit farmers or the consumer. We just need one law – clear, mandatory labelling and enforce it. The government could just pass this tomorrow, dead simple. But will they? They won’t, because the supermarkets lobby harder than I can. But we all need to get this written into law. So next time you’re in Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Aldi, Tesco, look at those labels, see how vague they are and try and spot if they’re getting away with selling you imported meat. This Which Report came out in 2024 and not one supermarket has really tried to change a thing and definitely no politicians have tried to do anything. They’re hoping you forget about it. Who is this designed to protect? It’s definitely not designed to protect you and not designed to protect me.”

How do we decipher misleading food labels when politicians protect corporate profits not animal or human welfare and our right to know the truth?

Read; Consumers deserve the truth: UK Government must act on ‘pervasive misinformation’ on animal products, CiWF, 16 December 2025

‘100% of supermarkets show animals outside despite 85% coming from industrial farms. New poll highlights consumer confusion as almost two-thirds of public mistakenly believe that products labelled ‘Welfare assured’ would not come from animals who have been caged. The government is urged to implement new mandatory labelling and stricter enforcement of current consumer laws.’

Farmers are faced with bankruptcy from deliberate assaults on their livelihoods, for example the sudden cancellation of subsidy schemes, price-gouging and supermarkets late payments, unfair competition from imports with standards lower than are legal in the UK and the arbitrary new Inheritance Tax. As a desperate measure farmers are blockading supermarket depots in an attempt to get the public, and then the government, to understand that no farmers means no food.

Arable agricultural land in the UK is commonly priced around £11,000 per acre which means that the land on a family-sized 200-acre farm is worth £2.2 million. If you include the farmhouse (£1m – £2m), machinery (£500k) and buildings (£500k), an average family farm is likely to be worth £4.2 – £5.2 million.

The government recently announced that a married farmer can add their spouse’s £2.5m allowance to their own, but an unmarried farmer must pay IHT on farm assets over £2.5m. This means that a farmer who is married can pass on the farm free of IHT, but an unmarried farmer with other assets over the £325k IHT threshold will have to pay £340k to pass on the farm, which is enough to bankrupt most already precarious farm budgets and unfairly discriminates against farmers who have long-term partners but who are unmarried.

The issue is that these farms are asset rich but cash poor. Margins are tight and profits are too small to meet an inheritance tax bill. When families cannot pay, farms get sold. Too often they are then bought cheaply, taken out of food production, and turned into high margin development opportunities such as solar panels and housing.

So while the new higher threshold change to £5m helps, it still leaves many genuine food producing family farms exposed, and it risks accelerating the loss of farmland to rewilding, development and speculation rather than producing food for the nation.

Read; Farmers escalate UK-wide direct action with tractor blockades, Farminguk, 24 January 2026

‘Farmers have stepped up direct action across the UK this month, using tractors to blockade supermarket depots and the Port of Felixstowe in protests over inheritance tax reforms and food policy. Farmers say recent and proposed changes to inheritance tax rules risk making it harder for family farms to be passed on to the next generation, while rising costs and low returns from retailers continue to squeeze margins. The latest action saw farmers block vehicle access at the UK’s largest container port overnight, with tractors positioned outside the Port of Felixstowe in Suffolk from just after midnight on Friday (23 January) until around 7am. The Port of Felixstowe handles a significant share of the UK’s container traffic, making it a high-profile target for protest despite assurances that shipping operations were unaffected. Banners attached to tractors read “Save our farms, save our future, fight the tax” and “Back British farming”, as demonstrators voiced opposition to current government policy. “Farmers are out at the port of Felixstowe in alliance with other farmers across the UK blockading supermarket depots and ports in protest against cheap lower standard imports and inheritance tax,” the group said. In a statement, a port spokesperson said the protest had been anticipated and steps were taken to limit disruption. “We were made aware of the proposed protest and worked with port users to mitigate its impact,” they said.They added; “The protest caused no disruption to shipping operations but some minor inconvenience to landside operations. We would like to apologise to any of our customers who were affected.”

More than 15 farmers were reported to have taken part in the Felixstowe protest, which formed part of a wider series of actions by farmers across the country.Supermarket distribution centres have been targeted as part of efforts to pressure major retailers to pay higher prices for British-produced food and reduce reliance on imported goods. Earlier this month, tractors descended on Tesco distribution centres in Peterborough, Doncaster and Hinckley, where lorries were prevented from entering or leaving the sites. On Thursday (22 January), farmers also blockaded Lidl distribution centres across England, including locations in Peterborough, Doncaster — close to the retailer’s UK headquarters — and Houghton Regis near Luton.The protests have gathered pace in recent weeks, moving from early-morning depot blockades to high-profile infrastructure sites such as the Port of Felixstowe.’

In the UK, approximately 440 dairy farms went out of business between April 2023 and April 2024, due to high input costs, low milk prices, and changing subsidies. This represents a decline of 5.8%, with about 7,040 UK dairy farmers as of April 2025. Is this a planned decline by the globalists to push us into buying alternative milk products thus profiting corporations not farmers?

Read; Arla and Müller slash milk prices for another month, The Grocer, 2 January 2026

‘Müller and Arla have both announced further cuts to their conventional milk price, more than 3ppl this month, blaming weak demand. Arla says organic is unchanged, but the organic market is ‘uncertain’.’

Milk prices have crashed because of global market chaos, and dairy farmers are paying the price.

Listen; Milk prices, farm profits, winter feed; BBC Farming Today, 24 January 2026

BBC Presenter; “The relative highs of the last financial year may well feel like ancient history to dairy farmers at the moment. The price they’re paid for milk has been tumbling since the autumn, with further cuts announced this month. The reason? A perfect storm of geopolitical events coinciding with a boom in production.”

Chris Walkland, Dairy Analyst; “There was obviously a huge trade scrap between Trump and China earlier in the year, and one of the net effects of that was a ban on soya exports to China from the US. There was a lot of soya kicking around on the US market, and that made US feed prices a lot cheaper. So dairy farmers capitalised on the cheap feed, fed their cows a lot more concentrate, and that resulted in additional milk yield in America. But it’s not just the China trade deals that had an impact, Trump was also playing hardball on trade with us and the EU. A lot of butter was imported into the EU at the same time as milk production really started to ramp up over here.”

One bankrupt dairy farmer turned his business into a huge success by converting to organic and supplying local markets.

Read; ‘It was go bankrupt or try something different’ the Guardian, 23 December 2025

‘When milk prices crashed, Bryce Cunningham faced losing his family’s dairy farm. His solution was to embrace organic farming and lean on the resilience that so many Scottish entrepreneurs have in spades.’

“The same month my father died, the milk price collapsed from 27p for every litre we sold to 9p, which resulted in a loss of £100,000 over my first 6-12 months of farming.” His father had invested in upgrades to the farm – but that just added to the problems. “With huge debt and no way to repay it, our choices were to sell everything we could and stop farming – effectively just go bankrupt – or try something different.”

Cunningham decided on the latter option. Inspired by the approach to farming in his grandfather’s era, as well as returnable packaging schemes he’d seen in Germany during his time at Mercedes, he reduced the milking herd and shifted from supplying supermarkets to organic milk production and direct sales. Today, Mossgiel Organic Farm in Mauchline employs more than 40 people and processes about 1.5m litres of organic milk a year.’

When we rightly demand higher farm standards, we must heed these words from the head of the NFU; ‘If we are to improve livestock standards in the UK, policies must be accompanied by price guarantees above the price of UK production that prevents any imports being sold below the price of UK produce. These standards must continue to be raised and the public informed of the benefits of paying more for grass-fed and free range animals. Indian farmers blocked the roads to Delhi to demand that the government keep their price of production guarantee so corporates couldn’t force down farm gate prices and they won.

Read; Defra announces biggest animal welfare reforms in a generation; Gov. UK, 21 December 2026

‘The Animal Welfare Strategy sets out how the government will deliver improved welfare for farmed animals by: 

Moving away from confinement systems such as colony cages for laying hens and the use of pig farrowing crates

Addressing the welfare issues that arise from the use of carbon dioxide to stun pigs because of animal welfare concerns

Introducing humane slaughter requirements for farmed fish to spare them avoidable pain 

Promoting the use of slow growing meat chicken breeds 

NFU response; Imports must not undermine British farmers NFU, 22 December 2025

Responding to the publication of the strategy, NFU President Tom Bradshaw said; “If we are to improve livestock standards in the UK, policies must be accompanied by price guarantees above the price of UK production that prevents any imports being sold below the price of UK produce. These standards must continue to be raised and the public informed of the benefits of paying more for grass fed and free range animals.

“Shoppers up and down the country rightly demand high-quality, affordable British food on supermarket shelves which is produced to some of the highest animal welfare standards in the world. Upholding those high animal welfare standards has always been of paramount importance to British farmers.

“The NFU will examine the government’s animal welfare strategy in detail now it has been published.

“If the government proposes raising domestic animal welfare standards further it must also take steps to ensure consumers are protected from imported food that could be produced to lower standards, and that British farmers are not asked to compete with imports produced at those lower standards which would be illegal for them to work to.’

At Davos, Howard Lutbeck, Trump’s Commerce Secretary, declared that ‘globalisation has failed the West’. I would extend his words to say that the globalists’ tentacles are wreaking havoc across the entire world!

Listen; Davos: Slugging it out at the WEF Conference; UK Column News, 23 January 2026

Howard Lutnick; “And the Trump administration and myself, we are here to make a very clear point. Globalisation has failed the West and the United States of America, it’s a failed policy. It is what the WEF has stood for, which is export, offshore, far shore, find the cheapest labour in the world and the world is a better place for it. The fact is it has left America behind, it has left the American workers behind.”

Patrick Henningsen; “That is a bit rich coming from an investment banker from Wall Street. Wall street are the ones that drove globalisation and they all got filthy rich out of it by financialising the American economy. And they did the same in Britain. So Howard Lutnick in the City of London made out like bandits for the last 30 years, and he has the temerity to then come and pivot and say, ‘oh, this globalisation’s hurting Americans is really unbelievable’. These people are absolute shape shifters.”

Mike Robinson; “Playing psychological games, of course, because that sentiment that he’s expressed is going to be very, very popular with the market base, of course, and all the other people that are Trump supporters around the world. But he doesn’t mean a word of it.”

Patrick Henningsen; “To the uninformed and the neophytes, in terms of politics, economics and geopolitics, that might sound like a good soundbite. Or to J.D. Vance, people who aren’t that well steeped in such things, but to educated people, he’s not fooling anybody. Now, here he is. This is the thing that really offended Christine Lagarde, we’re told.”

Howard Lutnick; “What we are here to say is that America First is a different model, one that we encourage other countries to consider, which is that our workers come first. We can’t have policies that impact our workers. Sovereignty is your borders. You’re entitled to have borders, you shouldn’t offshore your medicine, you shouldn’t offshore your semi-conductors, you shouldn’t offshore your entire industrial base and have it be hollowed out beneath you. You should not be dependent for that which is fundamental to your sovereignty on any other nation. And if you’re going to be dependent on someone, it darn well better be your best allies. Okay? And so that is a different way of thinking.”

Mike Robinson; “And of course he’s absolutely right in what he says there. I can’t argue with anything that he said. But of course he is one of the people that’s implemented this offshoring policy over the last decades.”

Patrick Henningsen; “He is, but if the US is so self sufficient, why do they need to steal a country like Venezuela’s oil and kidnap the President? The hypocrisy and balderdash that is coming out of these people is unprecedented.”

EU farmers will have to compete with cheap substandard imports from South American countries if the EU signs the Mercosur Free Trade agreement.

Watch; EUROPE IS BOILING : AND YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO NOTICE Global GeoPolitics, 19 December 2025

“Breaking news. Europe is erupting and the media don’t want you to see it. Farmers are rising up across France and across Europe, highways blocked, capitals under pressure, Brussels on edge because governments and EU institutions are destroying agriculture instead of protecting it. Mass culling of livestock under brutal sanitary policies, free trade deals like Mercosur flooding Europe with cheaper imports that don’t meet European standards, farm incomes collapsing, costs exploding, regulations strangling families who’ve worked the land for generations, and when farmers speak up, they’re ignored, they’re repressed and they’re hit with water cannons and tear gas for defending their right to survival. Let this sink in. No farmers equals no food sovereignty. No farms equals no future. This is what happens when bureaucrats rule from offices and forget who actually feeds the nation. Stand with farmers. Share the truth because once the farmers are gone, it’s already too late. God bless Europe.”

Watch; Farmers Dump 30 Tons Of Potatoes In Paris To Protest Proposed Trade Deal Inside Edition, 16 January 2026

Newsreader; “Farmers in France made a statement with a massive food giveaway. Potato farmers reportedly dumped 30 tonnes of spuds outside the National Assembly building in Paris to protest an unpopular trade deal. Trade unions say the EU-Mercosur trade deal will hurt European farmers by giving an advantage to competition in South America. French farmers say the potato could disappear in France if they can’t afford to keep producing it. The public was welcome to help themselves to the potato crop while it’s still available. This isn’t the only way the French are protesting the trade deal. Earlier in the week, farmers drove their tractors into Paris and blocked major roadways convening around the Arc de Triomphe. The unions vowed to stay mobilised to defeat this trade deal once and for all.”

French farmers’ actions that brought Paris to a standstill have worked! – Macron promises to side with the farmers and not sign the Mercosur free trade agreement.

Watch; Holy SH*T! Macron and Husband Go Into Hiding in Paris Amid Farmer Revolt, Redacted, 10 January 2026

Reports this morning in Europe say that French President Emanual Macron is hiding in a bunker in Paris right now. Why? Thousands of French farmers have brought Paris to a standstill. ‘Macron says,’ okay, I’m going to back the farmers now on this one’, seems to be too little, too late’.

Professor Richard Werner; “In many ways, the farmers have been quite impactful in this case and it looks like, at least partly, the Macron government has given in and has stated that they will now vote against the proposed international trade deal between the EU and Mercosur, the four Latin American countries, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay.

It seems to be the case that enough countries with enough people are backing it, including Germany, Spain, and so France opposing it, Macron saying,’ okay, I’m going to back the farmers now on this one’, seems to be too little, too late. But we have to see, because it’s not a given what will happen at that vote and that’s why the farmers are still fighting. If they can make their voice heard in the media in Europe, there’s a chance it may either be postponed or modified again.

Why are they against this? What is this about? Well, it’s a free trade agreement, and of course, these Latin American countries, Brazil is this very large, Argentina, have a very large agricultural sector. The fear is that the agricultural products from there will undercut European farmers and essentially drive them out of business. So they don’t want this deal.

Farming is very essential, and if a country or a region doesn’t have supplies from their own country sources, then of course you are at risk of being blackmailed or if there’s an embargo, if there’s disruption to trade or some environmental problem, climate catastrophe like volcano eruption or war, and if you don’t have your own farmers anymore, then you’re in dire straits. So I think it makes sense to actually treat your farmers well.”

With corporations wanting to profit from selling us ultra processed frankenfood, their captured politicians are not protecting our farmers. Paywall is not immediate so take a read.

Read; Big Food has devoured British farmers – Who do we want to feed us?James Rebanks, 23 January 2025

James Rebanks; ‘As a farmer, I work hard to look after my land and my animals in a way that you, the consumer, would approve of. But in recent years, farmers have come to be seen as an unnecessary and archaic part of this food system, rather than its foundation. Whole foods make up only about half of the average Brit’s diet today; the other half is made up of ultra-processed food (UPFs) — these don’t come from farms, they come from factories, and even labs. A farm-free future is closer than you might think.

This shift from whole foods to UPFs is now being blamed for making our society sick. The evidence is mounting that some of the biggest players in the food system do not, in fact, have our best interests at heart, and that the “food” they produce may not be trustworthy. We’re being told that predatory companies producing harmful and addictive hyper-processed products have hijacked our food system and created an obesity crisis.’

Concerned consumers demonstrate, sign petitions, make videos and donate thousands of pounds to improve food quality. Of course we must continue to support the invaluable work of groups like Sustain but don’t hold your breath – after my 35 years campaigning, I’ve seen no improvement.

Read; Over 160 organisations demand ambitious Food Strategy backed by law, Sustain, 12 December 2025

‘The Food Strategy Alliances, which is a new grouping of five existing alliances – has published an open letter to Emma Reynolds MP, the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. The message from the letter is clear: the UK Government must seize this critical opportunity to develop a transformative and successful UK Food Strategy. Our letter outlines three core requirements that the UK Government must address:

1. Create a joined-up healthy food and sustainable farming plan – backed by legislation. This requires ensuring policy coherence and joined-up government across all food-related strategies.

2. Put nature and climate friendly farming and growing at the core of the Food Strategy. This involves strengthening the sustainable farming budget, reversing funding cuts to DEFRA, and providing a clear roadmap for the Environmental Land Management schemes (ELMs) to enable a transition towards farming systems that embed demonstrably higher animal welfare. We also call for investment in the UK’s food system infrastructure to support local, values-led food systems and shorter supply chains.

3. Make healthy and sustainable diets the norm for all in the UK. Key actions here include reforming public sector food to establish legally-binding minimum standards for healthy, sustainable, and locally sourced meals across the entire public sector, including nurseries and schools. Furthermore, we call for the implementation of the ‘Healthy Food Standard’ via mandatory sales reporting and subsequent improvement targets for large food businesses. Crucially, the government must protect all children and babies from unhealthy food and drink advertising by ending all forms of less healthy advertising by the end of this Parliament.

The public is keenly aware of the need for change, with strong support for these approaches; for instance, 78% of the public backs healthier food in schools and hospitals. This strong public mandate, combined with the Government’s welcome commitment to this cross-cutting policy agenda, gives us a key opportunity to push for necessary improvements in the food and farming system. Our letter is also asking for a meeting with the Secretary of State to discuss these essential asks in more detail ahead of the anticipated Food Strategy Action Pan in Spring 2026.

The full text of the letter is viewable here. The detailed asks from the Food Strategy Alliances are viewable here.’

If consumers bought chemical-free UK produce, farmers would be supported in their transition to traditional methods of growing food that improves their soils so they no longer need chemical inputs.

Watch; This WWII Soil Secret Triples Any Harvest. Why Did Fertiliser Companies Bury It For 80 Years? DTD Stories, 14 January 2026

“In the bombed-up gardens of wartime Europe, families faced a problem modern agriculture made worse. How do you grow food when there’s nothing to buy? No fertiliser, no amendments, no bags of anything from any store. They discovered that nature never leaves soil bare, never. Walk into any forest, any meadow, any wild place untouched by humans, what covers the ground? Fallen leaves, dead plants, organic debris slowly breaking down and feeding everything above it. World War II gardeners copied nature exactly. When a plant finished producing, they didn’t pull it out, they didn’t haul it away, they chopped it at soil level and dropped it right where it grew. Dead tomato vines, spent bean plants, finished squash, everything stayed in the garden, nothing was removed. That organic matter became food for billions of soil organisms. As it decomposed, bacteria and fungi multiplied explosively. They converted dead plants into nutrients living plants could use. The soil got richer with every season instead of poorer. But the benefits went beyond nutrition. That layer of chopped material acted like a blanket over the soil. Rain didn’t wash away topsoil. Moisture stayed trapped underneath, reducing watering needs by 70%. Weed seeds couldn’t germinate in the darkness below the mulch. The USDA tracked Victory Gardens using this method in 1943. Gardens using chop and drop produced three times more tomatoes than control gardens using chemical practices, two and a half times more beans, four times more squash. After the war, fertiliser companies launched their marketing campaigns. Extension agents taught chemical methods. Agricultural schools removed soil biology from the curriculum and chop and drop was forgotten, buried, erased from memory. Today, permaculture farmers are rediscovering what World War II families knew. They’re feeding the soil instead of feeding the plant and they’re growing harvests that chemical-dependent neighbours can’t explain. When you understand that dead plants are not waste but wealth, you never need to buy fertility again. The secret was always right there, lying on the ground, waiting to be used.”

If only farmers would wake up to the fact that toxic chemical inputs are just a bad habit promoted by corporate-funded farm advisers, universities and politicians.

Watch; It’s possible to be pesticide free; Global GeoPolitics, 11 December 2025

“Did you know that in Japan some farmers protect their corn without using any chemical pesticides at all? Their method is both clever and eco-friendly. They simply let chickens roam freely through the corn fields. Before the corn matures the chickens eat up all the harmful insects acting as natural pest control, plus they lay eggs while they’re at it. Talk about a win win. When harvest time approaches, the farmers move the chickens and collect the eggs, then begin harvesting the corn. But it doesn’t stop there. The leftover corn stalks aren’t wasted, farmers gather them up, shred them with machines and then bury the mulch in onion fields. Over time the organic matter breaks down and turns into rich natural fertiliser for the next onion crop. The entire process uses little to no chemical additives, it protects the soil, boosts crop quality and shows how Japanese farmers work in harmony with nature. It’s a smart, sustainable way to farm, both green and efficient.”

Taking the government to court might be the best option when politicians are captured by Big Ag PR and finances.

‘The High Court has now confirmed that our challenge to the Government’s deregulation of genetically modified ‘precision bred’ organisms in food and farming will be heard at a rolled-up hearing over 12-13 May. This means the court will consider, in one hearing, both whether the case should proceed and the substance of the legal arguments themselves. This is a significant step. It means the court considers our case serious, arguable and worthy of full consideration.

The Court has also made two important procedural decisions. First, it has agreed that this is an environmental case under the Aarhus Convention, so our cost caps have been agreed, which limits our exposure to the Government’s legal costs if we lose. This is an essential safeguard for public-interest cases like ours. Second, it has mandated that the case will be heard by a senior judge, reflecting the complexity and wider importance of the issues raised. We are asking the court to examine whether the Government lawfully removed transparency, public participation, traceability and safeguards for the environmental release and marketing of genetically modified “precision bred” organisms — and whether it can rely on assumptions and non-statutory guidance where Parliament expected proper regulation.

This hearing matters not just for farming and food, but for how emerging genetic technologies are regulated more generally – now and in the future. While reaching this stage is good news, it also means we now have a lot of detailed work to do before May. That work is already underway. If you’ve supported us already, thank you! Your support is what has brought us this far. If you are able to give again, or to share the campaign with others who can contribute, you will be helping ensure that the court hears this case fully and fairly. The link, as always, is via CrowdJustice (and the fundraiser resets automatically every 30 days until the case is wrapped up) This is a rare opportunity to test whether deregulation without transparency or consent is lawful. With your help, we can see it through.’

Beware farmers – your livestock is being falsely tested and culled by ignorant vets whose salaries depend on following a corporate spun narrative so research outside the box is rare.

Read; Only 14% of Positive PCR Tests Meet Study’s Definition of Infection: Journal ‘Frontiers in Epidemiology’; Jon Fleetwood, 26 December 2025

‘Only a small fraction of people who tested positive for COVID-19 by PCR in Germany met researchers’ criteria for infection, according to an October peer-reviewed study published in Frontiers in Epidemiology. The findings come as PCR tests are being used to justify government response to avian influenza “bird flu,” including animal culling, countermeasures (vaccine) development, and gain-of-function experiments.

After analysing nationwide laboratory data from March 2020 through mid-2021, the authors of the new study concluded that only 14% of PCR-positive individuals showed evidence of true infection, which they measured by later antibody development. The remaining majority did not. “Only approximately 14% of those who tested PCR-positive were actually infected.” That means 86% of PCR-positive tests did not meet the authors’ definition of infection, calling into question the use of PCR positivity to count disease cases.’

How dumb are our councilors to spray a toxic herbicide where children play?

‘Read; Cancer-linked pesticide found in eight out of thirteen children’s playgrounds, PAN UK, 15 January 2026

‘A new study, launched today, has found residues of the weedkiller glyphosate and its toxic breakdown product – AMPA – in English playgrounds. PAN UK tested samples of soil and plant material and swabbed children’s play equipment in thirteen playgrounds across three English counties and two London boroughs. None of the playgrounds were particularly close to agricultural fields, suggesting that the contamination detected is likely to originate from the widespread use of glyphosate by UK councils to remove unwanted plants in public spaces. Of the five areas in which playgrounds were tested, the London Borough of Hackney was the only location where neither glyphosate nor its breakdown product – AMPA – were found. Hackney Council went pesticide-free in all its parks and green spaces and on housing estates in 2021. They have also introduced a range of other measures which have significantly decreased the amount of pesticides used in other settings across the borough.’

The term ‘Regenerative’ farming has no defined rules so Bayer’s carcinogenic herbicide, glyphosate, can be used to destroy the cover crops that are used for fertility and water retention. The farmer can then claim the regen mantra of ‘no-till’ where he reseeds directly into the soil without the need to plough. However, how can this be called regenerative farming when the glyphosate kills beneficial microbes in the soil, increases microbes that cause diseases in plants, reduces earthworm reproduction, hinders nitrogen fixing and reduces mycorrhizal colonisation of plant roots, which restricts the plants’ ability to take up nutrients and water. The plants killed by the herbicide do not break down and benefit the soil as healthy plants do. Farmers will continue to use this toxic system, greenwashed with the label “Regen’, until the government bans the use of glyphosate on crops grown in the UK or imported into the UK. True Regen farming means using a myriad of techniques to suppress the cover crops, not harmful chemicals.

As using glyphosate is the cheaper option, UK farmers must be protected. However, Minister for Agriculture, Lord Zac Goldsmith, told the Lords to vote against an amendment in the 2019-2021 Agriculture Bill, that recommended banning imports produced below UK standards.

Listen; Resistance And Renewal: A Debate On Glyphosate Oxford Real Farming Conference, 8 January 2026

Intro; “Is the ubiquitous herbicide, glyphosate, about to have its moment of reckoning? The Government’s renewal assessment of the chemical was expected in 2026. However, the UK is now negotiating a trade agreement with the EU. Dynamic alignment on pesticides regulation between the UK and EU puts the fate of glyphosate into question, particularly for pre-harvest desiccation. Meanwhile, understanding of glyphosate resistance and its negative human and environmental health impacts improves. Our interdisciplinary panel brings together academic, policy and farming views to ask, what is the true cost of another glyphosate approval? Are there real alternatives to glyphosate for nature-friendly farmers?’

“I’m Mark Measures, I’ve been an organic advisor for the last 40 years working on every soil type in the UK and every farm system and I’m a trustee for 5,000 hectares in Argentina where we’re surrounded by GM cotton and Roundup and the consequences there are amphibian embryology problems. There are no pesticide zones around all the towns because of cancer problems and all the serious problems that Michael has identified.

There’s no possible justification for this product, but what I do know is that actually we have perfectly acceptable technical solutions. Martin has alluded to many of them, but he can’t quite bring himself to do them. All right, this takes time and I welcome the efforts to move in the right direction, but I’m baffled by the slow rate of progress and the lack of which seem to be at the cutting edge of this.

One is the false accusation that tillage is bad and deteriorates organic matter levels. Which is not a fact if you have decent rotations. And the other is about wildlife.”

‘Agro-chemical giant Bayer, owner of Monsanto, is appealing a $1.25 million Missouri jury verdict, arguing that because federal regulators claim its glyphosate based weedkiller Roundup is safe, the company should be shielded from all state-level failure-to-warn lawsuits, brought by cancer victims.’ ‘A ruling in Bayer’s favor would dismantle legal recourse for thousands of citizens and establish a perilous precedent where captured federal agencies, not independent science or juries, dictate corporate accountability for public harm’.

Read; Supreme Court Poised to Grant Chemical Warfare Immunity: How Glyphosate Legal Shield Would Poison American Justice; Mike Adams, Natural News, 20 January 2026

‘The U.S. Supreme Court has stepped onto a dangerous precipice, agreeing to hear a case that could grant chemical manufacturers a staggering new power: blanket immunity from lawsuits for poisoning the American people. Agro-chemical giant Bayer, owner of Monsanto, is appealing a $1.25 million Missouri jury verdict, arguing that because federal regulators claim its flagship weedkiller Roundup is safe, the company should be shielded from all state-level failure-to-warn lawsuits brought by cancer victims. A ruling in Bayer’s favor would dismantle legal recourse for thousands of citizens and establish a perilous precedent where captured federal agencies, not independent science or juries, dictate corporate accountability for public harm. This case represents nothing less than a corporate coup against the constitutional right to a trial by jury, placing profits above the sanctity of human life.

At the heart of this legal battle is glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup and the most heavily used herbicide in the world, with approximately 300 million pounds applied annually in the United States alone. For decades, Monsanto marketed Roundup as safe for humans and animals, a claim now exposed as a profound deception by a mountain of independent research.

Despite the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) repeated assertions that glyphosate is “not likely to be carcinogenic,” science tells a horrifically different story. A major 2025 international carcinogenicity study found that low doses of glyphosate-based herbicides cause multiple types of cancer in rats, with tumors appearing in blood, skin, liver, and other organs even at levels regulators consider safe. This research adds to a substantial body of evidence linking glyphosate exposure to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and other chronic diseases in humans. As investigative journalist Carey Gillam notes in her book, the truth about such public health dangers often only emerges through “lawyers, lawsuits, journalists, and the occasional whistleblower” when regulators fail. The EPA’s fraudulent safety claims stand in direct contradiction to this independent science, blessing a chemical poison while natural, non-toxic agricultural solutions are suppressed and ignored.’

According to the farming scoring system described below, if the harm from chemicals on; soil health, biodiversity, water cycling, profitability, food nutrient density and reducing pollution, is taken into account, regenerative agriculture should be re-named chemical regenerative. If no chemicals are used, reg should be re-named organic regenerative agriculture.

Listen; ‘Why are you buying all that crap? That’s dumb!’ Farm Gate, 20 January 2026

Dr. Jonathan G Lundgren, Agroecologist; “Of these farms that we’ve studied, a thousand farms, it goes from very conventional to very regenerative. We have a scoring system that goes from zero to eight and every farm falls on that continuum so I can make pretty accurate predictions in about two minutes worth of questions as to where you fit on that continuum and what we’re going to see on your farm in terms of organic matter and water infiltration, how many lady beetles, how happy you are, whether you have cancer in your family. Within that system, we have to say, ‘everybody on that side is conventional, everybody on this side is regenerative’. That’s our construct, and we try to support that based on the outcomes of regenerative Ag, what they’re supposed to be doing. What we’re finding is that there’s actually three categories. There’s the industrial conventional model, we all know what that looks like, it’s very simple, it’s monocultures that’s maintained with agro-chemical inputs. Then you’ve got these conventional farmers that are like, boy, this Regen thing, I could cash in, man, I could make some money, or I think that this might be something worth trying, and maybe there’s something broader about it, the health of their family or something but they’re risk averse and they don’t want to go too far. So I’m going to replace all of my conventional inputs with these regenerative inputs. And we’re kind of calling that the industrial regenerative side of things. Or maybe they’re reducing chemical inputs a little bit in order to make this (regenerative), but we still have to have them. On the final group over here, you’ve got the regenerative, the people that are really pushing to attain the maximum impact on carbon capture and storage, on soil health, on biodiversity, on water cycling, on profitability and nutrient density of the foods, on reducing pollution. We’re not going to do that with an industrial conventional model. If you really want to attain those outcomes, we have to be pushing towards this regenerative class.”

Until we ban chemical inputs, hedgerows are the last refuge for wildlife in conventional farming systems.

Listen; What’s it like living next door to Britain’s most notorious rewilder? Farm Gate, 16 December 2025

Derek Gow, Re-wilder; “The hedge is not a solid structure at all. It’s something that’s got areas within it that are more open, more sunny, it’s got areas that are dry. As soon as you put the food out for the small mammals, like the wood mice and the bank voles, there in the dark, a fox that’s just crept in to watch them. So the hedges, even though they’ve been in large part destroyed and removed and overshorn, in a landscape like ours, you don’t really appreciate them until somebody sitting next to you from the Netherlands in a car says, ‘this is amazing, because they are the last of the corridors’. The whole challenge we’ve got with regard to farming and how we use land is quite clearly, ‘we can’t keep on going the way we’re going’. It’s no joke that you’re seeing notices in the Farmers Guardian to tell ‘you’ve got 30 harvests left or 10 harvests left’, because the soils are so degraded that you’re basically trying to farm silica and you can’t do that. Even when people put the dung on the land, it’s so full of ivermectins (de-wormer) that the goodness that should be in the dung is not translated to the bacteria and the things that exist in the soil because it kills them. So you’re in this horrible, vicious cycle of degrading the land all the time to try and produce to the point where it doesn’t produce anything at all. So the hedgerows could be one of these things that are the kind of last arcs. And if we can figure out how we expand through landscape recovery or whatever other funding system to allow more space on either side, then perhaps we could start to look at a situation where wildlife recover. But it’s challenging.”

Forests are known as flying rivers due to their eco system function of creating rain.

Watch; The Great Simplification – with Nate Hagens 15 January 2026

To best understand this longer deep dive episode, please watch this 2 minute video; Biotic Pump and Flying Rivers

“It’s widely known that Earth’s forests provide home to countless numbers of species, act as a vast sink for carbon, and provide much of the food, materials, and clean water on which our societies rely. But emerging science shows us that forests may play another critical role, making rain. This theory, called the biotic pump theory, hypothesises that instead of being passive recipients of rain, forests may actively create the conditions for precipitation over land – a premise that turns modern meteorology on its head.

In this episode, Nate is joined by physicist Anastassia Makarieva about the critical yet often overlooked role forests play in maintaining ecological balance and climate stability. Through the lens of the biotic pump theory, she highlights the importance of moisture and rainfall cycles, the dangers of ecosystem tipping points, and the escalating risks of deforestation. Anastassia argues that a paradigm shift is needed – one that redefines how humanity understands and manages forests in the fight against global heating.

What would climate models reveal if they fully integrated the Biotic Pump Theory? How might policies protecting against deforestation evolve if societies recognized the irreplaceable role forests play in how water moves on land? And beyond policy, how might reconnecting with our deep interdependence on forests help us rediscover a richer connection to ourselves as individuals?”

About Anastassia Makarieva:

‘Dr. Anastassia Makarieva is a Russian atmospheric physicist and senior researcher at the Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute. She obtained her Ph.D. in atmospheric physics from St. Petersburg State University in 2000. Makarieva is best known for co-developing the “biotic pump” theory alongside the late Professor Victor Gorshkov. The theory posits that forests play a crucial role in driving atmospheric moisture transport, effectively influencing rainfall patterns over land. Her work emphasises the importance of intact forests in maintaining climate stability and has challenged conventional climate models to incorporate the dynamic role of vegetation in atmospheric processes.’

‘it’s not always the farmer’s fault, it’s the system we’re operating in, it’s the supply chain pushing us to do things to meet a contract need, or the constant focus of more inputs, not about balance.’

Listen; ‘You can’t live off nature’s capital forever’ Farm Gate, 27 January 2026

Martin Lines, CEO Nature Friendly Farming Network; “I’m in Cambridgeshire in the eastern region. There’s too many pesticides getting in our water and far too many nitrates getting in our water, and that’s coming from the way we farm. So as soon as that white paper comes forward and the attention to having cleaner, healthier, better water quality and sources, the attention on those who are causing problems will increase. I think agriculture needs to be proactive and not reactive and lean in and saying, ‘we’ve got to improve’. But it’s not always the farmer’s fault, it’s the system we’re operating in, it’s the supply chain pushing us to do things to meet a contract need, or the constant focus of more inputs, not about balance. So there’s going to be a real strong focus around water quality, water management, not just maintaining but improving.

In my old mindset it is a tick box exercise to say, ‘I’m trying to reduce, I’m managing what I do, I’m responsible for me.’ Nowadays it’s a whole farm approach. How do I manage all my landscape to reduce my harm to the landscape, particularly through pesticide use? So we look at how we manage our hedgerows for biodiversity benefit and Pollinators and predator insects? How do I manage the landscape, the habitats? And it goes back to the seeds testing for disease. If we haven’t got a disease, why do we use it? If I can improve the soil health, instead of reaching for the next chemical to treat the stress in the crop, next year can I improve my soil health to stop the crop getting stressed? For me, it’s about the whole look of what we do. If we’re buying lots of chemicals in to treat. It’s like us as humans, if we’re unhealthy, we buy medication to make us better. If my crops are unhealthy, don’t just keep feeding it medicine, find the things that’s causing the problem, go to the root causes. Unfortunately, I, and I know many other farmers, when we were at university and college, we were taught to go out and kill things, find the nearest pest, kill it, find the disease, kill it. What we’re now trying to do is find the thing that eats the pest or causes a problem and fix that. Saves me a lot of money, spending money on chemicals and other things and focuses on better, healthier food with less inputs. I’m not organic, but I really try and lean into those practices and principles of that agri-ecological system of organisation. What’s causing the problem? How do I fix it? Are we growing varieties that are disease prone? Change the variety. Do we have weed problems building up? Instead of reaching for the next herbicide to kill the weed, change the time or the date that I drill the next crop, change my rotation and fix it from my system, not from a product. And I recognise many of those products cause harm in the wider environment. They end up in watercourses, they end up in those habitats we put around the edges. The habitats aren’t just about edges, it’s what can we do in the field as well and join all that together? So we put flower strips in the middle of fields, we put habitats around outsides. I look at those habitats as an asset to my business and to my production. Where are the pollinators and predatory insects, what lives in there that eats the pests? I am on the farm really trying to join all that up, but I need help, I need information, I need other people to give me knowledge and experiences to work out how I join it together.”

For those, like me who don’t want to fund the Independent’s paywall, just read the interesting intro below about Starmer’s desire to align with EU rules. Yes please to their ban on gene editing, adopting the Precautionary Principle and no global free trade treaties but I’m not sure that there is much else I’d like Ursula von der Leyento impose on us.

‘It is understood that the new powers could be used to implement deals struck with the EU, such as agreements to align electricity and carbon markets, or plant and animal standards. Ministers argue that dynamic alignment would have little material impact as UK food manufacturers have already largely followed EU rules since Brexit, but it is hoped that it would reduce expensive and time-consuming paperwork for suppliers who want to export to the single market. But there are concerns that it would see the UK surrender control over its own laws.’

I haven’t read Minette Batters’ Farm Profitability Review but some of her recommendations, like increasing exports by 30% and promoting precision (gene editing) seeds , are far from my idea of ending farm volatility and producing healthy food. However, she is restricted in her vision to what she thinks the present globalist politicians would be prepared to do… so good luck.

Listen; Minette Batters at Efra; BBC Farming Today, 21 January 2026

Presenter; “Civil servants should spend more time on farms to understand the problems they face. That’s according to Baroness Minette Batters, who’s been facing questions from MPs on the Environment, Farming and Rural Affairs Committee. She was speaking about her Farming Profitability Review for England, which was published just before Christmas. There are 57 recommendations in the review, all of which, she told MPs, should be implemented. The questioning was very wide-ranging from fairness in the supply chain to the viability of agri-environment schemes and the impact of trade agreements with countries like Australia. Baroness Batters was asked by the committee chairman, Alastair Carmichael, about the proposed farming roadmap, which the Government is planning to implement and how much of a challenge that is.”

Minette Batters; “DEFRA needs to be talking to many more farmers, and that is in the recommendation in the agri growth hubs and also the catchment approach. There is not a relationship with the farmers on the ground at the moment, which is why so many do not understand what the plan is.”

Presenter; “And expanding on that point later, Minette Batters went on to say that the Civil Service should get out onto farms to learn more about the industry.”

Minette Batters; “I have to say they should be helping in the lambing sheds. But what I was trying to establish was you’ve got to get out of Whitehall, you’ve got to get out to understand. Equally farmers have got to come in, so you’ve got to have change on both sides of understanding and working and developing together.”

Presenter; “Baroness Batters was keen to point out that improved profitability on farms should be achieved through food production. She said each farming sector needs its own plan, what she described as sector missions to monitor food production and encourage more domestic supply as well as exports. There are also detailed questions from the MPs about the future of the Sustainable Farming Incentive, or SFI, which is one of the Environmental Land Management Schemes, or ELMS. This is the replacement for the old direct payments to farmers from the EU. Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales have their own schemes. Baroness Batter said the way the funding worked for ELMS and SFI in England had been wrong.”

Minette Batters; “When I went in it was about the time that the SFI was being shut. I think that was a real shock and a real concern to Steve Reid and Daniel Zeitner at the time. If I’m honest, and you have to look back, I think it was set up in totally the wrong way. If you have a scheme that is open-ended and demand-led, you have no idea what the demand will be, so you have no idea of the value that will be demanded. So you can understand why the Treasury would be enormously frustrated by a scheme like that and then to come into government without the knowledge of this scheme could run out of money, and of course, in the desire in the last Parliament to get the money out the door, the payment rates were raised. So a lot of people then did come forward, but because, again, it was demand-led and you didn’t know what the demand would be, the money disappeared very quickly. So in many ways it was set up to fail. But the SFI can be a really good scheme and it is the scheme, so we’ve got to now make it work.” 

Presenter; “And when she was asked about how the money for projects like landscape recovery should be managed, Baroness Batters was clear that funding was still disproportionately going to larger farms and should be shared out more equally.”

Minette Batters; “The larger you are, the bigger recipient you will be, and that’s, in my opinion wrong from what the initial aim was. Landscape recovery projects are great if you’re in one. If you’re not, what is that? And so what I have recommended is landscape recovery across all of England, and that is what we need, and what I see more and more and more of is what I would call diamonds in paper crowns. You’ve got these diamond projects surrounded by a paper crown, and that is wrong, and I think it’s particularly wrong for a Labour government to be really focused on.There is another challenge here around decision making, the National Trust is a very, very large landowner. We are seeing large landowners pulling down huge sums of public money. The decisions that are being made are made by those large landowners, not the tenant, and that’s why I think that we should look at the new Commissioner, Alan Laidlaw, having similar powers to the grocery code adjudicator, so that tenant farmers, of which we’ve got nearly 50% of farmers in England, are tenants, they should be allowed to have a say in all of this and they don’t.”

Below is a description of violent assault and ransacking of the office and the seed bank run by La Via Campesina in Palestine.

Read; Attacks on La Via Campesina Palestine: Israel severs one of the few remaining lifelines to Palestinian Farmers, Ed Gardener, Via Campesina 12 December 2025

‘LWA member organiser Ed Gardener is an agroecological farmer. He recently returned from a trip to the West Bank where he visited farms and farming communities to learn about their culture, farming practices and the threats to their way of life they face as a result of the occupation.’

‘With a powerful feeling of anger and disbelief I am watching a news clip that shows my friends and colleagues blindfolded and handcuffed, kneeling at gunpoint while masked Israeli soldiers ransack their office.’

‘Our colleagues have been targeted because they are members of La Via Campesina, the global movement of peasant farmers of which The Landworkers’ Alliance is a part. I won’t be naming the specific Palestinian organisation in this blog post as we are acting cautiously to avoid increasing risk in any way to those who have been detained. Only a few weeks ago I visited their office in Ramallah. The doors were open to the street and the atmosphere was one of calm busyness. Now the entrance and windows have been welded shut with sheet steel, behind which the vandalised office lies empty. We don’t know who is safe. We don’t know what the Israeli government has planned for those who have been detained.

La Via Campesina Palestine has been branded a terrorist organisation by the Israeli occupation in a tactic that mirrors the Israeli government’s banning of a number of other organisations, largely on the basis of their effectiveness in resisting or calling out Israeli crimes. These organisations include UNRWA -the United Nations agency that provides humanitarian and development assistance to Palestinian refugees, the news network Al Jazeera, and the human rights observers ‘Al Haq’. In 2021 an independent investigation by Proximity Risk Consultancy concluded that there was no evidence of ‘organisational unity’ between La Via Campesina in Palestine and any terrorist organisations and “[T]here are no indications that (…) staff or board members have used their position at the (…) to organise or support terrorist activities.”

Much of the essential work of La Via Campesina in Palestine concerns seed conservation and production. In a simultaneous and equally shocking attack, the world-renowned Palestine Local Seed Bank, both a custodian of heritage seeds and a vital resource for farmers and growers under occupation, was ransacked, with the fate of specialist equipment uncertain and seed stocks likely decimated. When I was last in the seed bank I met a young intern. She was excited to be starting work and took time to explain to me the process of germination testing new varieties in the spotless seed lab. She was, like so many young Palestinians, well educated, confident and highly motivated to do something positive with her life. Now, only a fortnight later, the lab is vandalised and the building sealed, its coordinators detained.”

Watch; Rudolf Steiner warned of this decades ago; cris_andrew, 19 December 2025

Dr Klinhardt; “Rudolf Steiner, the Austrian mystic predicted that towards the end of last century and the beginning of the century, there will be a movement driven by big corporations to take the soul away from people, to disconnect people from the higher world. And in order to do that, we have to destroy the pineal gland in people. The pineal gland is the most sensitive part of our central nervous system and is highly, highly, highly sensitive to four things, aluminium (from geoengineering), glyphosate (from farms), fluoride (added to tap water) and Wi-Fi – (electromagnetic radiation everywhere).

Now look around.

Vaccines. Chemtrails. Tap water. Cell towers. Toxic Chemicals on our food.

This isn’t theory — it’s happening in real time.

The effects are showing up everywhere: chronic illness, depression, disconnection, confusion and spiritually weak.

Here’s what you can do.

1️⃣ Research vaccines and make informed decisions

2️⃣ Sweat regularly, support detox pathways, use binders to aid the body remove aluminium.

3️⃣ Eat organic where possible and wash produce with baking soda.

4️⃣ Filter your water or source clean spring water

This isn’t about fear. It’s about sovereignty. We do not need a world built on sickness, war, suffering, and profit for the few. We need a world where people are awake, healthy, connected, and thriving. Awareness is the first step.’

Campaigns against factory farms have failed to stop them proliferating here, in the US and beyond.

Watch reel; RFK explains why Bill gates and China are allowed to buy up all the farm land in the US; meathealth, 17 December 2025

R F Kennedy Jr; “Troubadour asked a question about why Gates and China are being allowed to buy up all the farmland in our country. I’m going to tell you something that I had an experience with. I spent many years, about 20 years, suing the factory farms, the big hog farms, and the big chicken producers like Tyson and Bo Pilgrim and Frank Perdue. Smithfield Foods was the biggest pork producer. Smithfield came into the state of North Carolina. They built a slaughterhouse that could process 30,000 pigs a day. And then they had a partner named Wendell Murphy who was in the State Senate. And he passed 28 laws in the North Carolina State Senate making it illegal to sue a factory farm. He left and went into partnership with Smithfield, created a way to raise pigs, instead of raising them on farms, to raise them in warehouses called Murphy Eleven Hundreds And they dropped the price of pork from 60 cents a pound to 2 cents a pound. It put out of business all 28,000 independent hog farmers in the state of North Carolina, and it replaced them with 2,200 factories, all of them either owned by Smithfield or contracted to Smithfield. The only farmers who could stay in business were farmers who signed that contract with Smithfield to mortgage their homes, to put those big hogsheds, the Murphy Eleven Hundreds, on their property. Then they lose all control. They become serfs on their own land. Smithfield dictates all their farming practices. It gives them the food, it delivers the piglets, picks up the grown animals and brings them to slaughter. They put out of business 28,000 farmers and a control now of 80% of the production in North Carolina. Because they dropped the price in North Carolina. Iowa had to adopt the same system, had to cave into Smithfield. They ended up taking control of 80% of the hog production in our country. Then they sold themselves to China. So now China owns all that hog production in America and it controls our landscapes. And that’s the end of Thomas Jefferson’s vision of an American democracy, rooted in tens of thousands of independent freeholds, each one owned by family farmers, each with a stake in our system of government.”

Only buy British and you will end the import of food that is cheaper and of a lower standard than that demanded of our farmers.

Watch; 1 teaspoon of the neonicotinoid Thiamethoxam can kill 1.25 billion bees greenearthorganics1, 21 November 2025

Kenneth Keavey; “Imagine if there was a class of chemicals of which 1 teaspoon would kill 1.25 billion bees. Well, there is a chemical, and it’s called thymethoxam, and it belongs to the family of neonicotinoids. One teaspoon kills 1.25 billion bees. These chemicals are systemic in nature and that means as you spray them on the food, on the crops, they get absorbed into the crop. Then, as the insect eats the crop, it takes in the chemical, and then as birds eat the insects, they take in the chemical. Bird populations in the EU and the US have been crashing over the last decade. In the US alone, over 3 billion birds have been lost since the 1970s. Thankfully, this class of chemicals is now banned in the EU, which is fantastic news. It is still used quite liberally throughout the rest of the world and in the US too. So the only way to eliminate these type of chemicals, it’s fairly simple, is just to stop using them. And it’s been proven in the EU that they’re not in use anymore, we’re still able to produce food, so isn’t that amazing? So, as always, through your support, we can grow good, healthy, organic food without the use of systemic toxic synthetic herbicides and pesticides.”

‘Dear Tracy, Imagine salmon – born to travel thousands of miles through rivers and open seas – trapped instead in windowless tanks, circling under harsh lights inside factories and warehouses. This is land-based salmon farming: unnatural, unnecessary, and an environmental and ethical disaster. Our new joint briefing, with our inspiring French partners Seastemik, Fish out of water: Pulling the plug on land-based salmon factory farms, reveals how this emerging industry is becoming the next brutal frontier of factory farming, and why governments must stop it before it takes hold.’

Read; Fish out of water – Pulling the plug on land-based salmon factory farms Foodrise, 8 December 2025

‘Foodrise and Seastemik have published a stark new policy briefing Fish out of water: Pulling the plug on land-based salmon factory farms – calling for governments to ban land-based salmon production.This is a call now backed by 21 organisations including Communities Against Factory Farming, Greenpeace France, Greenpeace Africa and the Green Britain Foundation.

Key Findings:

Foodrise and Seastemik’s research reveals that land-based salmon production is an environmental and ethical disaster representing a new, catastrophic form of factory farming.

The expansion of land-based facilities will only deepen salmon production’s existing impacts: driving demand for wild-caught fish for feed and triggering a cascade of other harms on the environment, wildlife, animal welfare and communities.

UK and European Union decision-makers must act now to stop the spread of this destructive technology before the industry takes hold and causes irreversible damage. ‘

AI data centres use huge amounts of water and energy, so despite the rhetoric that we are replacing polluting fossil fuels with renewables, there is no less fossil fuel coming out of the ground.

Watch; AI Data Centres are an Ecological Disaster Novara Media, 20 December 2025

Karen Hao; “So there was a McKinsey report that recently projected that based on the current pace of data centre and supercomputer expansion for the development and deployment of AI technologies, we would need to add around 0.5 to 1.2 times the amount of energy consumed in the UK annually to the global grid in the next five years, and most of that will be serviced by fossil fuels. This is something that Sam Altman actually even said in front the Senate a couple weeks ago. He said it will most probably be natural gas. So he actually picked the nicest fossil fuel, but we are already seeing reports of coal plants having their lives extended. They were meant to be retired, but they’re no longer being retired explicitly to power data centre development. We’re seeing reports of Elon Musk’s X AI, the giant supercomputer that he built called Colossus in Memphis, Tennessee, is being powered with around 35 unlicensed methane gas turbines that are pumping thousands of toxic air pollutants into the air, into that community. So this data centre acceleration is not just accelerating the climate crisis, it also is accelerating the public health crisis of people’s ability to access clean air as well as clean water. So one of the aspects that’s really under talked about with this kind of AI development, that the OpenAI’s version of AI development, is that these data centres need fresh water to cool, because if they use any other kind of water, it would corrode the equipment, it would lead to bacterial growth. And so most often these data centres actually use public drinking water, because when they enter into a community, that is the infrastructure that’s already laid to deliver the fresh water to companies, to businesses, to residents. And so one of the things that I highlight in my book is there are many, many communities that already do not have sufficient drinking water, even for people. I went to Montevideo, Uruguay, to speak with people about a historic level of drought that they were experiencing, where the Montevideo government literally did not have enough water to put into the public drinking water supply. So they were mixing toxic wastewater in just so people could have something come out of their taps when they opened them. For people that were too poor to buy bottled water, that is what they were drinking. And women were having higher rates of miscarriages, elderly were having an exacerbation or inflammation of their chronic diseases. And in the middle of that, Google proposed to build a data centre that would use more drinking water.”

‘Prime Minister accused of ‘surrendering control’ of UK energy system to rejoin bloc’s electricity market. Sir Keir Starmer is preparing to tie Britain to the EU’s net zero plans in a move that would impose radically stricter clean energy targets on homes and businesses.’

US Energy Secretary Chris Wright says $10 trillion invested into ‘fighting climate change’ to achieve 2.6% increase in renewable energy reveals a massive scam.

Watch; An absolute takedown of the whole Net Zero agenda by U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright Net Zero Watch, 8 January 2026

Chris Wright; “The things you never hear about is that of total primary energy consumption in the United States now over 72% comes from two energy sources, oil and natural gas. Record high market share, little in addition to volumes, doesn’t quite sound like the dying industry I’ve been hearing about for the last 15 years. But if you roll over to the electricity sector, it’s a very different story. In the oil and gas production segment, declining capital intensity, increasing efficiency, surging production. What’s happening in the electricity sector? Surging investments. A gigantic amount of money is flowing in and what’s been the net result of that? Almost no growth at all in the production of electricity, but significant growth in the price of electricity. If you make electricity more expensive and people don’t know where that policy is going to go, guess what? Energy intensive industries leave your country. The United Kingdom and Germany are experts at that and they can tell you in Germany they’ve invested a half a trillion dollars, more than double the capacity of their electricity grid and they produce 20% less electricity than they did before the half trillion dollar investment and they sell it at three times the price. That is not a winning model. That is not what the world is going to duplicate. We have just gotten so far off track. Think of our industry. Smart, detailed analysing physics, numbers, math. But when it comes to climate change, we just check rationality at the door. Forget it, that doesn’t apply over here. It’s only about decarbonizing and claiming we’re in the middle of an energy transition. I think we are in the midst of the greatest mal investment in human history. $10 trillion on a global base has been invested nominally in fighting climate change. What do you get for $10 trillion? Well, to be very specific, on energy sources, we got solar up to 1.2% of global energy and wind at 1.4%. Collectively, 2.6% of global energy comes from these sources that $10 trillion of investments have gone into. And everywhere the penetration levels, high prices have gone up and you’ve de-industrialised Germany, the United Kingdom, California and you just move industry (to a country) that doesn’t reduce emissions. If you make it so that the factory closes in the Midlands of England and it moves to Asia and it runs on coal now instead of natural gas and you load the goods on diesel ships, that’s not fighting climate change. That’s de-industrialising your nation and having a government pounding the drum on decarbonisation, but never doing the math on if it’s working? A couple of other data points 85% of global energy came from hydrocarbons at the time of the Yom Kippur War, woke the world up. Oh, my God, oil prices tripled. They rose again later that decade. We have to change our energy system. That’s when the energy transition movement started over 50 years ago, 85% from hydrocarbons. Today, 85% hydrocarbons. Let’s just engage with reality. Oil, gas and coal are what run the world full stop. We can’t make a wind turbine or a solar pan or a nuclear power plant without massive amounts of oil, gas and coal. That’s how the world works.”

“They are not “investing” in green energy, it’s an excuse for kickbacks, control and promoting fear.

Watch; Here’s a whole bunch of inconvenient truths on net zero James Melville, 3 January 2026

Mark Mills, Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Prager University; “You’re having a dream. Here’s the reality. Oil, natural gas and coal provide 84% of all the world’s energy. That’s down just 2 percentage points from 20 years ago. And oil still powers nearly 97% of all global transportation. Contrary to headlines claiming that we’re rapidly transitioning away from fossil fuels, it’s just not happening. Two decades and $5 trillion of governments investing in green energy and we’ve barely moved the needle. This was supposed to be easy. Why is it so hard? In a word, rocks. To get the same amount of energy from solar and wind that we now get from fossil fuels, we’re going to have to massively increase mining by more than 1000%. This isn’t speculation, this is physics. Copper, iron ore, silicon, nickel, chromium, zinc, cobalt, lithium, graphite and rare earth metals like neodymium. We need them all. And then those metals and materials have to be turned into motors, turbine blades, solar panels, batteries, and hundreds of other industrial components. That also takes lots of energy, which requires even more mining. As a World Bank study put it, these green technologies are in fact significantly more material intensive than our current energy mix. That may be the understatement of the century. Raw materials account for 50 to 70% of the costs to manufacture both solar panels and batteries. Until now, it hasn’t really mattered that much because wind and solar still account for only a few percentage points of the global energy supply. They’re an applause line for environmentalists, not a major energy player. And it’s unlikely they will be in the foreseeable future. But for the sake of argument, let’s say we sharply ramp up mining. Where would these new mines be located? Well, for one, China. That country is today the single largest source of most of our critical energy materials. The United States is not only a minor player, but is dependent on imports for 100% of 17 critical minerals. Do we want to give China more political and economic leverage? Europe has made itself dependent on Russia for 40% of its natural gas. How well has that worked out? Ironically, we have all the minerals we need right here in North America, but good luck trying to get them out of the ground. Proposals to build mines in the United States, and increasingly almost everywhere else, meet fierce opposition, if not outright bans. To give just one example, in 2022, the Biden administration cancelled the proposed copper nickel mine in northern Minnesota. This was after years of delays navigating a maze of environmental regulations. And yes, the same environmentalists and green-leaning politicians who tout all the benefits of electric cars are the same people who make mining the materials essential to build those cars, like copper and nickel, all but impossible. Try to square that circle. So far, we’ve only talked about today’s energy needs. What about tomorrow’s future? Energy demand will be far greater than today’s. That’s been true for the entire history of civilisation. The future will not only have more people, but also more innovations, and entrepreneurs have always been better at inventing new ways to use energy than to produce it. It’s obvious, but worth stating, before the invention of automobiles, aeroplanes, pharmaceuticals or computers, there was no energy needed to power them, and as more people become more prosperous, they will want the things others already have, from better medical care to vacations to cars. In America there are about 80 cars for every hundred citizens, in most of the world, it’s about 5 per hundred citizens. Over 80% of air travel is for personal purposes, so that’s 2 billion barrels of oil a year. Hospitals use 250% more energy per square foot than an average commercial building. And the global information infrastructure, the cloud, already uses twice as much electricity as the entire country of Japan, the world’s third largest economy. The massive data centres at the heart of the cloud alone consume almost 10 times more electricity than the world’s 10 million electric cars. E- commerce has taken off and it’s propelling record growth in warehouses increasingly filled with energy hungry robots. America’s truck freight index more than doubled in the past decade to deliver the goods to and from those warehouses. These are today’s known trends. While we can’t predict the future, we can predict there’ll be more innovation in robotics, drones, quantum computing, biotechnology, in new industries not yet imagined. All of it will require more energy. A lot more fossil fuels, nuclear energy, and yes, renewables will be required. But if you think we could get it all from wind and solar, dream on.”

So again, when you can cover the entire horizon with what these jets are emitting, that is a complete skewing of any natural weather, anything.

Watch; BEES ARE DISAPPEARING EVERYWHERE Global GeoPolitics, 23 November 2025

“What do we have now? We now know with peer-reviewed study that bees are testing with 70 times more aluminium in their system than what it takes to cause Alzheimer’s or dementia in a human being. It’s a wonder any of them are alive. 70 times more. This is important as well. When you have somebody from some agency who’s paid to lie, who tells you it’s normal to have aluminium everywhere because it’s a very abundant element. That is a lie of inaccuracy. Aluminium is very abundant in the environment, yes, but it does not exist in the environment in free form. As it doesn’t exist in free form, it must be mined and refined and sprayed for it to be scattered everywhere in the environment, and that’s exactly what’s happening. It’s not just the bees that are dying. Every single one of us has been contaminated. These materials are bio-available. They’re building up in our systems. And it doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not, it’s a fact. We have the lab test to prove it. There will be no hiding this issue much longer. The chemical signature for what’s showing up in rain tests matches coal fly ash, a substance that the EPA has told us is not harmful, they’ve been trying desperately to get rid of. And it seems to suit the purposes for geoengineering and evidence is increasingly indicating that toxic coal fly ash may be one of the base materials they’re using to spray because it gives them plausible deniability.”

Read; I got the judicial review in Scotland!!! Craig Murray, The Daily Politic, 27 January 2026

‘A legal bid put forward by Craig Murray to overturn the Palestine Action proscription through the Scottish courts has passed a major milestone, as judges have approved plans for a judicial review. Former diplomat Craig Murray brought a petition for a review of the decision to the Court of Session earlier this month. Lord Young granted permission for the case to proceed with a procedural hearing on 23 February and a two-day substantive hearing on 17 and 18 March.

It has also been challenged at the High Court in London. Since the ban came in, thousands of people across the UK have been arrested for supporting the group, many of them peaceful protesters, remanded in custody for years awaiting trial. Spokesman for the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Mick Napier, said; “This offers real hope that the judicial review will halt this escalating madness by challenging the wholesale arrests of peaceful protesters.” Murray was represented at the initial hearing on 12 January by Joanna Cherry KC. She told the court; “This is a case of great constitutional significance which impacts on fundamental liberty and human rights of people living and working in Scotland. “Generally, people enjoy the freedoms of expression and assembly set out in Articles 10 and 11 in the European Court of Human Rights. This proscription has curtailed those liberties.”‘

Chris Hedges; “The murders of unarmed civilians on the streets of Minneapolis, including the killing today of the intensive-care nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti, would not come as a shock to Iraqis in Fallujah or Afghans in Helmand province. They were terrorised by heavily armed American execution squads for decades. It would not come as a shock to any of the students I teach in prison. Militarised police in poor urban neighborhoods kick down doors without warrants and kill with the same impunity and lack of accountability. What the rest of us are facing now, is what Aimé Césaire called imperial boomerang. Empires, when they decay, employ the savage forms of control on those they subjugate abroad, or those demonised by the wider society in the name of law and order, on the homeland. The tyranny Athens imposed on others, Thucydides noted, it finally, with the collapse of Athenian democracy, imposed on itself. But before we became the victims of state terror, we were accomplices. Before we expressed moral outrage at the indiscriminate taking of innocent lives, we tolerated, and often celebrated, the same Gestapo tactics, as long as they were directed at those who lived in the nations we occupied or poor people of color. We sowed the wind, now we will reap the whirlwind. The machinery of terror, perfected on those we abandoned and betrayed, including the Palestinians in Gaza, is ready for us.’

May Bulman; “For nearly a year, my colleagues and I have been investigating the Tony Blair Institute and Larry Ellison, the second richest man in the world. What we found shocked us. Larry Ellison is a fascinating character. He is the second richest man in the world, second only to Elon Musk, who is his good friend. Ellison is very close with the Israeli government. He’s close with Benjamin Netanyahu.”

Larry Ellison; “I have spent time with the people who govern the state of Israel. I feel a deep connection, emotional connection to the state of Israel and the Israeli people defended by all the brave men and women of the IDF. So anything we can do to support them.”

May Bulman; “He has donated large amounts to the friends of the IDF. He’s their biggest donor. Ellison is co founder of Oracle, which is a cloud computing company which has been around for decades now. Today Oracle is on the verge of taking over the US version of TikTok, which is hugely influential among young people in America.”

Netanyahu; “We have to fight with the weapons that apply to the battlefields in which we’re engaged and the most important ones are the social media and the most important purchase that is going on right now is TikTok. TikTok, number one.

May Bulman; “Oracle’s former CEO Safra Katz is on record as saying she wants to embed the love and respect for Israel in America’s culture.”

Safra Katz; “It violates our policy to have from the river to the sea on your LinkedIn. Like all that kind of hate speech, we’re just bringing the consequences. And if you want to boycott us, buckle up.”

May Bulman; “We saw Larry Ellison on a large screen at this massive world leaders summit in Dubai back in February talking about AI. He was being interviewed by Tony Blair. Blair was asking him about the kind of AI revolution and Ellison said…”

Larry Ellison; “We need to unify all of the national data, put it into a database where it’s easily consumable by the AI model and then ask whatever question you like.”

May Bulman; “Through our reporting we found that the UK government is starting to unify their data and we’ve seen that the Tony Blair Institute has been advising them to do this. I mean Tony Blair has always been a big advocate for ID cards in the UK and more recently like digital ID cards, and the idea of that would be to bring together all personal data and have it in one place.”

Blair; “Digital ID will make our interactions with each other, and with the state faster, cheaper and more reliable.”

May Bulman; “There are arguments that it could be quite dangerous potentially to have personal data all in one place, and particularly if that system is run by one large private company. So it’s interesting to see Tony Blair, like pushing this so hard and then Oracle kind of standing by, like potentially ready to take on this job.”

We all regarded politicians as perpetual liars and self serving and manipulative.

So you have Ukrainian whistleblowers. One of them was killed and the other one was injured badly with a bomb. I played the clip where Vasily goes to his car and the car explodes. It was from a car park camera, you could see it. That’s what happened to the whistleblowers. I didn’t have a happy childhood myself. And one thing that really upsets me is if people are harming children, I really react very badly to it. Is it satanic? I believe it is, and I think the people who are running this and many other things, they’re perpetrating against the people of the world. I think they’re Luciferians. I think it’s some sort of child sacrifice cult. I’ve looked them in the eyes, they’re soulless people. And why do they do it? You see a young child, they’re the nearest thing to God we’ve got on this planet, they’re so innocent, they’re in God’s image and the younger they are than the more innocent they are, and it’s the biggest affront to God that these people can do and that’s why they do it. That’s what I honestly believe, harming children is the biggest affront to God and that’s why they do it. When Tony Blair, who’s a very evil man and if you look at his face now, you’ll see that he’s like a devil sick of sin. In ’97, when they got in with New Labour, it’s very telling. The first piece of legislation they rushed to put through the House of Commons after 17 years in opposition was to take the death penalty out of the Treason Act in 1997. Looking back now, it is evident why they took the death penalty out of the Treason Act, because that government and every government since has committed treason against the people. Ask them why, after 17 years in opposition, was your first priorities we’ve got to take the death penalty out of the Treason Act? Why? Because they were committing treason and they knew they were. And every government has done it. And Rishi Sunak, what he never told everybody was that when he was Chancellor, during the pandemic and later Prime Minister, is that he had acquired 11% of Moderna shares in 2016 for $500 million. It was held in a fund based in the Cayman Islands for tax purposes called Theleme and Rishi Sunak was one of the founding partners of it, and they bought 500 million pounds worth of shares in Moderna when they only had 10 employees and no products. But he’s still a very, very powerful man and he’s a very rich man, worth probably over a billion pounds, married to a woman whose father is the second richest man in India, who also owns Infosys, which were bringing in the digital ID. [Starmer, “Let me spell that out. You will not be able to work in the United Kingdom if you do not have digital ID.”] And people think the Brit card stands for British? It’s not. It’s Biometric Registration, Identification and Tracking. People say, oh, it’s patriotic, it’s our Brit card. History shows us that anyone who’s willing to give up their freedom for security ends up with neither freedom nor security. What our governments are trying to do is convince us that our freedoms are actually privileges. Of course, privileges can be removed if they consider that your behaviour is unsuitable. And people need to wake up to that and we need to stop it now.”

Listen; American universities are captured by the CIA; Jerm Warfare; UK Column News, 20 January 2026

Jeremy Kuzmarov; “I read about 30 books on Pearl Harbour at one point and did an article and I found very clearly the evidence was actually incontrovertible that the Army Chief of Staff, George C Marshall, actually was informed of the Pearl Harbour attack very early in the morning on December 7, 1941. This was Washington D.C. time, whereas Hawaii, where the attacks occurred, is seven hours or eight hours behind in time. He was grilled by an army commission and asked why he didn’t pick up the scrambler phone, because they had a technology where all he had to do was pick up this scrambler phone and notify the naval commanders in Hawaii of this attack and they could have prepared their defences and launched a counterattack and saved the lives of 3,000 Americans who were killed. He gave an excuse, he admitted, because he sent the message via regular courier, which got to Hawaii a day later, after it was too late. So this is a fact of history, and he was actually asked about this by an army commission and he gave the excuse that, well, if I picked up the scrambler phone, the Germans might have found the message. That was totally irrelevant to his role. As Chief of the army, his job is to protect national security. When you know there’s an attack going on on your country, you have the duty to inform the proper commanders to stop it, and he didn’t do that. That is simply a fact. It’s made like it’s some conspiracy theory that Roosevelt knew in advance when it is a fact that he had that information. It’s also a fact that the Army Cryptanalysis Division had cracked the Japanese code and knew of the Japanese plans in advance, and they failed to properly warn the Hawaiian naval commanders who were scapegoated. The families of those commanders fought for years to exonerate and restore their public reputation, which Congress eventually did in the late ’90s. So I don’t find any conspiracy over this. You can look at the motive, the motive was clear that the Roosevelt administration knew the public would never support US intervention in another world war unless the country was directly attacked. So he had to allow that attack, since he had plans to go to war and he had campaigned on an anti-war platform in 1940. So that’s just the historical facts. But if you read the Foner textbook or most textbooks, they leave that out of the story. They make like it’s some conspiracy theory that Roosevelt might have had advanced knowledge and they continue to frame it as a surprise attack on America when it was not a surprise attack. So that’s a bias. It’s at all levels of history, whether it’s the public, primary or high school history courses or collegiate, the professors are just as bad. Some of it I think is because professors revere FDR for the New Deal and with conservatives in that era, it was conservatives who had criticised FDR and said he had misled the public at Pearl Harbour, so they don’t want to associate with a conservative position. That may be one reason why Liberal historians still 80 years later are reluctant to cover that topic objectively. Also, it points to the pattern because there was a major cover up and most people don’t know this history. I didn’t know it from my own education. I read all these books on my own time and a lot of them are kind of obscure, hard to find books, but the facts are there. There’s a pattern with the Warren Commission, the 9/11 Commission, they’re all cover ups. And it goes back after Pearl Harbour. FDR set up the Roberts Commission headed by a Supreme Court justice to basically validate the official position and exonerate Marshall and blame these Hawaiian naval commanders who performed their service honourably and were not responsible. But the commission was a complete hoax and actually a member of the commission spoke out. That’s not my assessment, that was the assessment of an admiral named William Stanley who was appointed to the Commission, who had been the US ambassador to Moscow in World War II. After he retired he said the Commission was the most corrupt Commission to that point in American history. It was as crooked as a snake, it was totally rigged. These are his words in his memoir that he published right before his death. Then another top naval officer said that that was the most corrupt and dishonest investigation in American history to that point. So that’s irrelevant history. To understand the pattern, then the Warren Commission cover up, the 9/11 cover up and they’re going to continue until this cycle of corruption is broken. I think knowledge is power. If more people understood the history and the pattern, they wouldn’t go along with these commissions and they would push to root out this corruption and deception in the government. But that’s why these academic gatekeepers come in, to keep the public in the dark. And I think they divert a lot of academia. They don’t even cover these topics anymore. I think part of it is that they cover, like, more trivial topics in academia now.

The CIA has had an active misinformation campaign for decades. We know about the Operation Mockingbird and how they planted journalists in the media. So if it was genuinely committed to studying misinformation, it should have tons of articles about the CIA and how they try and propagandise the American public and sow misinformation. But that was not discussed at all in this journal. It showed a decline in American intellectual life, because if I was a student, I learned nothing, I read through the journal and researching that article, I read through about five or six issues of the journal and it was complete torture. I like to read, but these articles were useless. It was just like the State Department propaganda. That’s like out of the old Soviet Union, they had no freedom of press and they had this kind of rigid ideological dogma and it corrupted intellectual life because there was no freedom of thought. The intellectual just had to parrot what the Communist Party said. That’s what this is like. They’re just parroting government propaganda. There’s no independent thinking and there’s no insights or learning that goes on from reading that. I feel sorry for students and their families because they’re paying a huge amount of money to send their students to these universities now, the cost of education has gone through the roof and this is what they’re getting, they’re basically getting these hacks, they’re not real, a real intellectual is a probing guy. I would say William Pepper, the great intellectual, he’s a lawyer, but he was probing into the real truth behind the King murder. He did some outstanding research. So that’s a real intellectual. Somebody does that on the academic plain. But this journal is just these hacks who repeat government misinformation and it’s fueling this new McCarthyism of blacklisting and ridiculing. Anybody who challenged the official line, whether on the COVID whether on US foreign policy toward Russia, et cetera.”

Watch; Who Really Runs the World? The Peter McCormak Show, 8 January 2026

Intro; “In this conversation, Simon lays out how money creation, debt, asset management, and access to capital now matter more than elections, ideology, or national borders. Governments, he argues, have become balance sheets and citizens have become collateral.

We talk about how the debt-based system works, why rolling over debt keeps everything alive, how asset managers shape outcomes and why wars, bailouts, inflation, and social breakdown all follow the same incentives. It’s about power, money, and who actually makes decisions, and what that means for people trying to live normal lives inside a system that no longer works for them.’

Simon Dixon; “The UK, the European Union, Australia, Canada the collective West is fully subordinate to US corporate interests because they’re rolling over the debt- based Ponzi scheme. Yes they have access to the financial industrial complex tools. They can create a currency war if they want to destroy your wealth, they can laden you with debt which they can roll over, they can use intelligence and military in order to destabilise your country, turn genuine riots into colour revolutions, take away somebody that represented the people and install a dictator that takes the corrupt money in order to privatise all their resources and make sure that Chevron, Exxon, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamic, JP Morgan, the IMF all can come in and use your country as an asset management portfolio. So most people when they hear this they think; “is this some kind of organised cabal?’ It’s actually not. It’s a ruthless game of betrayal at the top, power dynamics and access to capital and you can throw people off the network and then operations go wrong. It’s a ruthless game.”

Watch; Digital ID, Report from London Protest; UK Column News, 15 December 2025

“Hello, this is Will Coleshill reporting for UK Column. Today I’m down here outside the BBC Portland Place reporting on the digital ID protest that’s going on down here in London. So why are you out here today then?”

Vox Pops at Protest;

“I’m out here today because this is the hill I’m willing to die on. If we let this pass, we become an open prison.”

“No, this is an important one. I mean digital ID, if we’re forced into this, there is absolutely no freedom left. They can do whatever they like with us. So it really is one battle we must win.”

“It can lead to an authoritarian state which is I guess the final goal.”

“It will be enforced by having a unified system of ID so that even your bank account is being monitored and money could be taken out of it if you do something wrong like breaking your carbon footprint.”

“This is something we don’t need, we’ve never needed it before. And the plans to put it in place, completely tyrannical. And it’s there for monitoring and surveilling us in a way that nobody really wants to happen.”

“We’ve got passports, driving licence, birth certificate. It’s just bringing an agenda 2030.”

“We just have to look at the agenda 2030 actually for the UN, it’s all there, they want us to stay in these 15-minute cities, we’ll own nothing and we shall be happy!”

“If they have that information about you all in one place, then they can easily control and manipulate that information.”

“They can make you do anything you like. They can stop you going places, they can stop you buying certain things if you’re writing certain things on the Internet, they can freeze your bank account.”

“They can stop finances, if you oppose certain government policies.”

“Our spending, our travel, the climate, just everything, the food that you eat, how much you watch each day, they’re going to base it off the Chinese social credit system that’s already in place. And we already have a version of this with our credit scores where we’re not allowed to have certain loans and we’re not allowed to have certain credit. It’ll be like that, but amplified. And if you want some sort of demonstration on how this will work, then you’ll need to watch the nose dive episode of Black Mirror.”

“Baby steps, as they say, and before you know, we’ll be locked in our houses or told where we can and cannot go.”

“The main thing is they’re rolling it out now. They’re saying it’s to stop so-called illegal work and stuff like that. They give some bad reasons for it to get the public on board and then they introduce something else and then something else and before you know it you’ve lost all your freedoms.”

“So they’re going to put penalties on people and punish people for not complying. And I’m not being funny, but that’s never really a good thing, is it? This is another thing about convenience. They’re going to not force you to have it, but it will be extremely inconvenient for you to exist in society without it. And that’s how they’re going to try and trip us up.”

“We know that they’ve already done the veterans cards for veterans and now they’re trying to get everyone, company directors, onto the government ‘one login’ system. They’re taking our biometrics. And that’s the key thing, if you give up your biometrics, the government creates a digital twin of you, something that represents you in the digital space and you’ve got no control over what happens to that and how the government uses it and where that might end up.”

If you heard that digital ID had been abandoned, please don’t believe it. Though the single card will not now be mandatory, the system itself is still very much in force and when everyone has got used to being asked for their ID and having it in one card, it will be convenient and therefore easy for the government to impose compulsory digital ID.

Watch; Digital ID Scrapped? – Starmer Lied. The Contracts Prove It. Fine Print, 15 January 2026

‘Starmer’s U-turn Is a Lie. Here’s Where £210 Million of Your Money Went.

The government announced they’re dropping mandatory digital ID for workers. The media called it a U-turn. A victory. Case closed. Except they didn’t cancel anything. They’re still building Gov.uk One Login. Still rolling out Gov.uk Wallet. Still handing hundreds of millions in contracts to Deloitte, Accenture, and private verification companies you’ve never heard of.

In this video, I follow the money behind Britain’s digital ID programme — the £100 million consulting bonanza, the revolving door between Whitehall and contractors, the 500,000 security vulnerabilities nobody fixed, and the international playbook that shows exactly where “optional” digital ID leads. They told you it was cancelled. Here’s the fine print.

Andy Roberts; “Digital ID has been scrapped. Government U-turn. Victory for individual liberty. That was the news this week.”

News Presenter; “The Government looks set to row back on plans to introduce mandatory digital ID cards.”

Andy Roberts; “Nearly 3 million people signed the petition. The government backed down and Nigel Farage declared it a triumph over ghastly authoritarianism. Even Kemi Badenoch called it a rubbish policy and she was glad to see the back of it. Papers, please. Not in Britain, not today. Except, well, that’s not actually what happened. They didn’t scrap the digital ID. They’re still building the entire system. Over £340 million in contracts have already been handed out. The infrastructure is still going ahead on schedule. The only thing they dropped was the requirement to use a specific government-issued card and even that’s temporary. So what exactly did they scrap? And where is all that money actually going? I’m Andy Roberts and this is the Fine Print and I’ve done some digging following the money behind Britain’s digital ID machine. What I found wasn’t a story of a government backing down. It was a story of consultants getting rich, private companies making money every time your identity gets checked, and an infrastructure being built that will make mandatory ID inevitable, whether you voted for it or not. And that isn’t even the worst part.”

Watch; Labour government has admitted that digital ID is not being abandoned. Instead, they are watering down the word “compulsory” James Melville, 14 January 2026

‘It is being reported that Keir Starmer has U-turned on compulsory digital ID. Yet the Labour government has admitted that digital ID is not being abandoned. Instead, they are watering down the word “compulsory” while still continuing to develop the framework and machinery for digital ID.

It feels like the Labour government are trying to take the heat out of the huge opposition to digital ID and instead, nudge it forward and engineer digital ID under the radar.

This cannot be allowed to happen. No one voted for digital ID. Keep the pressure up and hold the government to account. As I discussed with @iancollinsuk | @TalkTV‘

Jeffrey Sachs explains TikTok’s new policy towards banning content that is critical of zionism.

Listen; Prof. Jeffrey Sachs : Using the Economy as a Weapon — Trump and Iran Judging Freedom, 27 January 2026

Judge Napolitano; “I want to switch one last subject matter, free speech. We’re going to play a clip for you of an interview with the new president of TikTok. Bear in mind, these are the same people that own CBS and are now trying to get their hands on CNN. Watch what they have done with the word zionist.”

Adam Presser, CEO TikTok; “We made a change to designate the use of the term zionist as a proxy for a protected attribute as hate speech. So if somebody were to use zionist, of course you can use it in the sense of you’re a proud zionist, but if you’re using it in the context of degrading somebody, calling somebody a zionist as a dirty name, then that gets designated as hate speech to be moderated against. Over the course of 2024, we tripled the amount of accounts that we were banning for hateful activity. We also have, I think, over two dozen Jewish organisations that are constantly feeding us intelligence and information when they spot violative trends. There is no finish line. There’s no finish line to moderating hate speech, identifying hateful trends, trying to keep the platform safe. There’s no such thing as an end game.”

Jeffrey Sachs; “Well, this was the whole purpose of the takeover of TikTok. What happened with TikTok is that it showed the honesty of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. All over the world people saw a genocide before their own eyes. They saw the celebration by Israeli Defence Forces as they killed people in cold blood, as they blew up buildings, as they destroyed universities, as they blew up hospitals. And so the decision was taken by the zionist lobby in the United States, the pro-Israel lobby, that TikTok had to come down, it had to be owned by, it turned out, Mr. Ellison, one of the richest people in the world, who was an ardent pro zionist. I think according to Adam Presser, that term can be used, and the idea was that exactly what this new CEO is doing would happen, which is that TikTok would be policed so that it could not carry the truth about Israel’s war crimes. The most basic point of all is that zionism is a political ideology associated with the State of Israel. It is not a religious ideology, it is not Judaism, as scholars have been pointing out in great depth and sophistication, a lot of traditional Jewish thought was strongly anti zionist. The idea that attacking zionism as an ideology is antisemitic is as false as can be, but that’s a game that is being played by the zionist lobby in the United States. That lobby has a lot of power, as everybody knows, and it took over TikTok with the help of the government precisely to do what we just saw, Mr. Presser explained. In other words, this wasn’t a happenstance. This has been the plan of the last couple of years to transfer the control and ownership of TikTok USA into the hands of the zionist lobby, if I could put it that way.”

The puppeteers like Palantir are truly evil.

Read; My final message before I’m on an FBI watchlist: Palantir, Epstein, & The New York Times; Juan Sebastián Pinto, 9 January 2026

‘ICE brings the hybrid warfare and terror we brought to Gaza back home. It’s time to learn where it comes from, how it works, who enables it, and how to fight back.’

‘I was once a storyteller in the AI industry. This role, uncommon when I started, is now considered one of the hottest in the AI jobs market, and involves using writing, design, and multimedia to explain and sell emerging technology. In this capacity at Palantir, my job introduced me to something I will never forget: the crude “art” of diagramming ISTAR systems, known as AI “kill chains.” These technical drawings, made with OV-1 diagrams in the Pentagon, convey how ISTAR tools — such as drones, satellites, ground stations, and command centers — come together to make decisions, including determining who to kill, and how to kill, using artificial intelligence. What I figured out while making these diagrams, however, was that drones and physical weapons only tell part of the story. When armies rely so much on data and automation, establishing all-encompassing surveillance dragnets soon becomes the utmost priority. The effort to map the world through satellites, drones, and information — in order to find targets and predict outcomes — eventually leads to the surveillance and mapping of what the military calls the “cognitive domain.” This entails charting public opinion, social media, influence, and reputation as a battlefield in itself. As digital warfare experts P. W. Singer and Emerson Brooking put it in their book, ‘LikeWar: The Weaponisation of Social Media’ “Power” on this battlefield is thus measured not by physical strength or high-tech hardware, but by the command of attention. The result is a contest of psychological and algorithmic manipulation… Your online attention and actions are thus both targets and ammunition in an unending series of skirmishes. As a result, the internet has become a place where real wars with deadly consequences are carried out. Today, a tweet can determine a drone strike target, and kill civilians, halfway around the world. It can also empty an entire city, as Trump did in June when he cast Tehran into evacuation chaos after threatening airstrikes that never came. Now that the internet is a war zone, success largely depends on one’s ability to wield the power of information to mislead, misinform, or scare one’s enemies.

As a big-data platform with connections to the CIA and foreign intelligence operations, Palantir has likely been central to the waging of this kind of warfare: where nation-states try to win not only using conventional weapons, but by weaponising data and influence for covert “hybrid” operations. Palantir’s executives understand this more than anyone. “The primary way to create peace in this world is to scare our adversaries when they wake up, when they go to bed, while they’re seeing their mistress,” Alex Karp has said. “The most effective way for social change is: humiliate your enemy and make them poor.”

What Karp refers to here are ways of “dealing” with someone without necessarily putting a bullet in their head; types of hybrid operations which are opened up by the possibility of exploiting personal data for combined intelligence and war operations. The vast amounts of data that we feed into the internet — about our lives, our location, our relationships, and our plans — can be used against us in ways we might not yet imagine. It is in the interest of many defense-tech companies like Palantir to help their clients figure out crueler and crueler ways to do so. Projects with “irregular” components characteristic of hybrid operations include a Palantir proposal with HBGary to help Bank of America discredit journalist Glen Greenwald, as well as more complex intelligence and law enforcement operations like Operation Irish Goodbye, where ICE planned to capture immigrants voluntarily leaving through the Southern border to go home during the holidays.

Another example of hybrid operations featuring Palantir’s tools includes Operation Grim Reaper in 2024, where pagers were used to remotely bomb alleged Hezbollah operatives in Syria and Lebanon. The operation involved exploding phones that killed 32 people and injured over 3,000 others across Lebanon and Syria — including in their family homes. Two children would die and over 500 people would be left with severe eye injuries. “Such attacks could constitute war crimes of murder, attacking civilians, and launching indiscriminate attacks, in addition to violating the right to life,” UN experts said at the time. “It is also a war crime to commit violence intended to spread terror among civilians… A climate of fear now pervades everyday life in Lebanon.”

The weaponisation of data through ISTAR — whether it is used to conduct direct “kinetic” drone strikes or compound “hybrid” attacks — is often indistinguishable from terrorism.’

Andrew Bridgen’s no-holds-barred exposé into how politicians dance to the tune of corporations not the electorate.

Watch; Corruption In Parliament. Ding Dong Leaders. Former MP Andrew Bridgen Lays It All Out – Shocking! Danni Henderson-GSIC Conference, 9 January 2026

‘As the former Conservative MP for North West Leicestershire from 2010 to 2024, I dedicated my career to serving the people with unwavering commitment. For most of my tenure, I represented the Conservative and Unionist Party, guided by my lifelong belief in low taxes, minimal government interference, and individual freedom to enable people to achieve their dreams and full potential. I have always maintained that the state’s role should be limited to providing a safe environment, secure borders, and efficient public services, allowing the people to thrive.

The Conservatives actions squandered billions of public funding and opened our borders to unchecked illegal immigration, funded by ever-increasing taxes reek of socialism. Their policies, driven by a bizarre groupthink, justify excessive regulation and taxation that threaten our way of life.Voting for them is no different from supporting Labour, whose leadership is equally as catastrophic.

I now proudly stand as an Independent. A choice I embrace, as the Conservative Party has abandoned the values I cherish. They have imposed the highest tax burden since World War II, confined people to their homes for months in the early 2020s under bureaucratic directives, and coerced unwanted medical interventions, including MRNA gene therapies.

While in Parliament, I exposed the dangers of these horrific therapies and fought tirelessly to protect the vulnerable, successfully halting their administration to healthy children under five. I continue to campaign for the suspension of these treatments in both humans and animals .My principles remain steadfast and I feel I deeply alarmed that the leadership of all the major political parties, including Nigel Farage’s Reform, are shackled to the World Economic Forum’s Agenda 2030. Nigel’s grip on Reform is now swinging swiftly to the left, aligning with the newest iteration of the old regime, betraying the hopes of those who sought a true alternative.

As a servant of the People of Great Britain, I stand resolute against betrayal, global greed, and corruption. I am unwavering in my commitment to defending freedom of speech and securing our borders against illegal entry without exception. I continue to champion the vulnerable, giving a voice to those who need it most, and I will not rest in my pursuit of justice and truth.This fight transcends traditional right-versus-left politics—it is a battle of right versus wrong. I remain dedicated to fighting for a free, secure, and prosperous Britain, where the people’s voices are heard, and their rights are upheld.’

Francesca Albanesi describes the impacts the US sanctions have on her life

Watch; The US is the ultimate rogue state, destroying anyone who tries to hold it to account Jonathan Cook, 12 December 2025

‘Edward Snowden blew the whistle on illegal mass surveillance by US authorities of their own population – and had to flee into permanent exile. Julian Assange published details of the US military’s war crimes – and spent years locked up in a high-security jail, denied his most basic rights. Francesca Albanese has documented US government and corporate complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza – and now, thanks to US sanctions, cannot have a bank account. As she explains here, anyone who deals with her faces up to 20 years in a US jail. Notice a pattern? The US is the ultimate rogue state, destroying anyone who tries to hold it to account. It is utterly lawless. Its methods are those of the gangster, ruling a world where there are no police who can bring it to heel. Trump is different only in that he no longer bothers to hide the fact.’

Krishnan Guru-Murthy; “You say the ICC is under attack and it is, with key people sanctioned by the United States. You are also sanctioned. Now, since our last conversation, how has that affected your life?”

Francesca Albanese; “Badly. Honestly, it has, because it has affected me because while I do what I do as a human rights expert who’s really devoting, making huge sacrifices to serve the United Nations, at the same time I am treated as a criminal by the United States. I’ve been sanctioned, which means just for doing my job, which is even a violation if I were an American citizen. It’s a violation of the First Amendment. There is a travel ban. I cannot travel to the US even in the exercise of my function. In fact, the last reports to the General Assembly, well, I had to present it from South Africa because I couldn’t travel to the United States. But also it has, it imposes penalties on those who work with me. Anyone who’s a US person, meaning a citizen, someone who works in the US who has assets in the US, a US resident who engages with me can face jail up to 20 years and penalties up to $1 million. It’s huge, and this has implications.”

Krishnan Guru-Murthy; “You can’t have banking”

Francesca Albanese; “No, my bank account, I mean, I’ve been living in the US, I gave birth in the US and I was planning to return to the US. My daughter is an American citizen, she’s US-educated, she goes to the American school. Her dream is in a few years to go and study in the US. She cannot, because the moment she steps into the US if the sanctions are not lifted, she will risk felony for having offered a present to her mama. Can you believe this? And also the implications are felt by me as a European citizen, in Europe, but also as someone who lives in Tunisia, because I cannot open a bank account anywhere, because it doesn’t matter where you are when it comes to banking, we are under US law. Why? Through the SWIFT Code. The moment I do a financial transaction that requires the SWIFT code, virtually everything, that happens internationally through international circuits, I get banned. There is a red flag. And so the sanctions on me pose a risk on the banks that open a bank account for me, the risk to incur in secondary sanctions. That’s why I have to travel with cash, but it’s extremely complicated because I cannot get paid. I’m not being paid. I’ve not received a payment for work that I do other than as a Special Rapporteur since August this year. I cannot be paid. Who’s going to receive this money? It’s extremely complicated. Also because with the money laundry legislation, God bless it, it’s impossible to transfer money. I’ve been offered the opportunity to open a bank account at the Cayman Islands. I don’t want to do that. I don’t want to resort to this dodgy experience. I want to be protected as a European who has committed no crimes.”

“And the United Nations has called for the sanctions to be lifted.”

“Absolutely. Absolutely.”

“But how long can you, do you think you can carry on living like this?”

“Again, because it’s a significant violation of the UN Charter, of the privileges and immunity of the United nations that protect me as a UN expert. These sanctions must be lifted. So I do expect, I do expect member states to come back to senses and to stand up with the United States persuading it to lift the sanctions. Also because it’s a very dangerous precedent. Think of the chilling effect it’s having on anyone who’s working not just in the U.N. but on this issue.”

So Keir Starmer does not work for the British people, Trump does not work for the American people, Macron does not work for the French and Mertz doesn’t work for the Germans. They actually work for their lobbies and that pay for their lobbies, and their lobbies are corporate interests.’

Watch; The Financial Panopticon: AI, CBDCs, and Currency Wars | Simon Dixon with Catherine Austin Fitts; Simon Dixon, 2 January 2026

Simon Dixon; “Is America really sovereign? Is America America First? And I’ve spent a lot of time trying to answer that question. Particularly in the UK, how can you be in an environment where there’s record mental illness, there’s low birth rates, there’s drug addiction, the bins aren’t being collected anymore, there’s clear immigration operations in order to create racial and religious tensions, and yet there’s still $3 billion to defend democracy and send to Zelensky. How do these two things compute? Well, they don’t until you figure out who’s actually in charge. Our governments are not sovereign. So Keir Starmer does not work for the British people, Trump does not work for the American people, Macron does not work for the French and Mertz doesn’t work for the Germans. They actually work for their lobbies and that pay for their lobbies, and their lobbies are corporate interests. And within corporate interest, you have what I try to classify as powerful factions. The most powerful is what I call the financial industrial complex, that’s the banks, the money printers that create the dollars and the euros and the pounds, they own the Federal Reserve. You have the private equity industry, you have the venture capital industry, you have the investment bank that financialises and securitises everything, and then you have the ability to control all of that, access the passive investment flows, which is the ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) and money managers. So ultimately on the top of this power structure is the sovereign wealth and the money managers, because everything’s public and every politician is for sale through lobbying. You have this financial-industrial complex which can vassalise all of what looks like…. you think Tesla is a powerful company run by the richest man in the world, like Elon, but actually he is allowed to be the highest net worth person as long as he gets those Pentagon budgets and various other budgets into the right place, and then they will lend him money against his stock in order to keep him in the network, as it were, because they can knock you off the network by sending the hedge funds on your share price, sending the derivatives complex on you, and then they can give you a margin call. So through this access to capital, you have this financial industrial complex that actually is able to control many of the levers.”

Catherin Austin Fitts; “One of my nicknames for it is the financial bazooka. You’re facing the financial bazooka”

Simon Dixon; ” Yeah, I use a few words, financial weapons of mass destruction, financial terrorism, I like financial bazookas, these are useful terms in describing what is a reality, and so then you ask what is the goal? Is the goal really to save the dollar? Well, when I look at what a company like BlackRock, State Street and Vanguard are doing, I see capital flows that are pricing new financial products in foreign currencies. I see policies that are being influenced in order to weaken the dollar. And so if you push this stablecoin strategy, you have this tension between strengthening the dollar and weakening the dollar. Now if you weaken the dollar, you set a series of events, a kind of reverse Bretton Woods II which if you’re a country like Saudi Arabia, you’ve got vast sovereign wealth, you’ve got resources, you’ve got trade surplus, you’ve got fiscal surplus, what are you going to do when your currency is pegged to the dollar? Well, if you weaken the dollar, you have to actually sell Treasuries and sell your gold reserves to protect the peg, now you might do that for a little bit of a while, but if you look at Saudi Arabia, they’re actually, through the Gulf countries, they’re the largest investors in BlackRock. Saudi Aramco CEO has a board seat on BlackRock. And so you’ve seen this partnership between the Gulf countries and the financial-industrial complex emerge. So therefore, at some point the financial-industrial complex can send monetary policy wherever it wants because it’s banks are the shareholders in the Fed, it dominates fiscal policy. BlackRock, a lot of the fund managers use Aladdin as their data sources, which is BlackRock Technology. Treasury uses it, the Fed uses it. So you’ve got all these data feeds that go out to all of this vast network of capital, and when I look at what they’re signalling by following the money, they’re signalling that they’re trying to weaken the dollar and they’re trying to push it into multi-polarity. So what I see right now in this chaos is a tension between different factions because while the financial-industrial complex is the most powerful, there are other complexes. There’s the military-industrial complex that was more nationalistic, that was to create wars globally in order to get the world addicted to the IMF through covert operations. But it was all about propping up the dollar, strengthening the dollar. And then you have the technical-industrial complex which is all the data feeds, all the surveillance, all of the backdoors into NSA deep state and that works its way up to the military. So you have these power factions that are often aligned. But I believe right now we have a tension between strengthening the dollar through military industrial complex operations, technical-industrial complex operations like stablecoins, but ultimately the financial-industrial complex. They want the world to be, I believe, multi-polar, which I think is a conclusion you came to. They want to partner with these different blocks and so ultimately they will win, which to me translates into a weaker dollar, breaking the pegs, dismantling the petrodollar, dismantling the euro dollar and supporting the petro yuan so that eventually the Gulf countries can sit between the BRIC blocks, through the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) blocks and be at the centre between America as a regional power dominating the region. But the dollar needs to be shrunk to a regional currency. It’s no longer the global hegemon.”

Read; WHO–Gates Blueprint for Global Digital ID, AI-Driven Surveillance, and Life-Long Vaccine Tracking for Every Person; Jon Fleetwood, 2 December 2025

‘In a document published in the October Bulletin of the World Health Organisation and funded by the Gates Foundation, the World Health Organisation (WHO) is proposing a globally inter-operable digital-identity infrastructure that permanently tracks every individual’s vaccination status from birth. The dystopian proposal raises far more than privacy and autonomy concerns: it establishes the architecture for government overreach, cross-domain profiling, AI-driven behavioral targeting, conditional access to services, and a globally inter-operable surveillance grid tracking individuals.

It also creates unprecedented risks in data security, accountability, and mission creep, enabling a digital control system that reaches into every sector of life.

The proposed system:

integrates personally identifiable information with socio-economic data such as “household income, ethnicity and religion,”

deploys artificial intelligence for “identifying and targeting the unreached” and “combating misinformation,”

and enables governments to use vaccination records as prerequisites for education, travel, and other services.

This is a comprehensive proposal for a global digital-identity system, permanently linked to vaccine status, integrated with demographic and socioeconomic data, enforced through AI-driven surveillance, and designed for international inter-operability.

It is not speculative, but written in plain language, funded by the Gates Foundation, and published in the World Health Organisation’s own journal.’

The leader of the Green Party, Zack Polanski has written to Alex Karp, the CEO of the militarised surveillance company Palantir, telling them to ‘get the hell out of the NHS’.

Read; Palantir is a military corporation profiting from genocide and emboldening surveillance of civilians by abusive police forces Zack Polanski, Green Party, 22 January 2026

‘Dear Alex,

I am today putting you on notice that the Green Party of England and Wales is calling for your contract with the NHS to be cancelled.

We object to your involvement in the NHS on three main grounds:

1. We do not trust you with the use of people’s health data. Your track record around the world of surveillance and discriminatory use of data contributing to abuses and genocide means we don’t believe you a fit partner for the NHS, an institution that has served this country with distinction since 1948.

2. You have actively aided the genocide in Gaza. In January 2024, you signed a deal with the IDF to increase its “advanced technology provision” to Israel in support of war related missions. You have said that you are “exceedingly proud” of Palantir’s involvement in what you called “operationally crucial in Israel.” The UN special rapporteur on human rights identified Palantir as complicit in war crimes and “profiting from genocide” in Gaza.

3. It has been reported that you are working on a tool for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that populates a map with potential deportation targets, brings up a dossier on each person, and provides a “confidence score” on the person’s current address. We are strongly of the view that ICE is acting like a personalised paramilitary police force to Donald Trump, and recently shot dead Renee Good in cold blood. We stand in solidarity with her.

Further, I know that companies such as yours hire corporate lobbyists such as Peter Mandelson to assess ‘political risk’. I have some advice you can have for free. The political risk is very high for your continuing involvement with the NHS. The Green Party is advancing, and we will use every means at our disposal, including that of our many thousands of members to get you out of the NHS. We will form alliances with like-minded campaigners and MPs, of all parties, so that the pressure on the Government to cancel your NHS contract becomes too great. Whatever happens at the next general election, we will use whatever influence we have to insist on your removal from the NHS.

My understanding is that there is real hesitation among hospital trusts and Integrated Care Boards to use your platform, and from my conversations with people in the NHS, they don’t believe it offers anything they can’t already access, and that it has little to no impact on patient care or reducing waiting times for treatment.

Yours sincerely,

Zack Polanski, Leader of the Green Party in England and Wales’

Palantir CEO Alex Karp explains their evil ways.

Watch; Palantir CEO admits to shareholders that Palantir is here to ‘disrupt’, and ‘when it’s necessary to scare enemies and on occasion kill them’! Andrew Bridgen, 10 January 2026

‘Palantir CEO admits to shareholders that Palantir is here to ‘disrupt’, and ‘when it’s necessary to scare enemies and on occasion kill them’! Are all the shareholders happy with that ? Sounds like terrorism?’

Alex Karp; “We’re doing it, we’re doing it, and I’m sure you’re enjoying this as much as I am. Let’s not talk to analysts about the burden of being right, our burden of investing in ontology, our burdens of actually looking at the maths, the burden of reading what the Rule of 40 is, the burden of being honest about what an enterprise software company is, or the burden of explaining to your friends that you’re really happy. Maybe we should just stop talking about it. I’m very happy to have you along for the journey. And you are partners for us. Every Palantirian. We are crushing it. Everyone else who’s listening, we have dedicated our company to the service of the West and the United States of America, and we’re super proud of the role we play, especially in places we can’t talk about. And we love our success in the US and globally, also what we are doing the United Kingdom and many other places. Palantir is here to disrupt and make the institutions we partner with the very best in the world and when it’s necessary to scare enemies and on occasion, kill them, and we hope you’re in favour of that. We hope you’re enjoying being a partner. And we’re really happy and very, very focused on what we’re doing. Thank you for your time.”

Carole Cadwalladr; “We have this clear security alliance with America that has been the bedrock of the post war international order. It’s been hugely important, but what has happened now is in making these deals, trying to suck up to Trump, which has involved sucking up to Silicon Valley, which has involved making this series of what I believe are totally disastrous deals with these Silicon Valley companies, in which we’re bringing their software right into the very critical functions of how the UK state operates. We have put ourselves in a vassal position of complete surrender, because there was a $250 million pound deal made, I think, just over a week ago between the Ministry of Defence and Palantir. And so at this moment, in which you have the United States threatening to invade a NATO country, Greenland, which would put the whole of Europe in conflict with another NATO member, we, at the same time, are embedding this government’s clear ally in the heart of our own military infrastructure. It’s total madness. To sort of understand how these things operate, I was thinking this morning, you buy a Tesla and you’re buying a car like any other. You’re not really with Tesla, you’re sort of renting the software and it can be turned off at any point, this is the way that the sort of business model works. So you think about the fact that you’ve got Palantir being embedded in your whole entire military defence, to say nothing, of course, that is embedded in our entire NHS. It has made us so vulnerable and blind that we cannot see what that means. We can’t look at who Peter Thiel, the founder of this company, is and what he believes in, and what he does not believe in is democracy.”

SAY NO to PALANTIR in the NHS

Watch; Epstein files. Trump-style authoritarianism. ICE operating with unchecked power. Different headlines. Same pattern. A culture that protects powerful men before it Leah Van King, 13 January 2026

Leah Van King; “Matriarchy isn’t woman-centred the same way patriarchy is man- centred. That’s the part people miss, because when we hear matriarchy, we imagine patriarchy, but with different genitals, women on top, men underneath. But that’s not what matriarchal or matri-focal societies actually are. They’re child-centred, life-centred, kinship-centred. The organising question isn’t who’s in charge, it’s are the children safe? Is the community stable? Will the next generation be okay? It’s a very different vibe. This is the same reason people misunderstand feminism. They hear feminism and think, oh, women want to be on top now. No, that’s just what power looks like inside a patriarchal framework. And this is where it gets uncomfortable. We built a world that centres men their power, their egos, their dominance over women and over children. We put men over the future, and honestly, that’s embarrassing. When a society emotionally centres men, you get entitlement, you get leaders who tantrum, you get strong men who can’t self regulate, you get adults with power and the emotional capacity of toddlers who are never told no. And when emotional development is discouraged, when boys are taught dominance instead of empathy, entitlement instead of responsibility, you don’t get strength, you get fragility with authority. Which matters because child abuse isn’t about desire, it’s about power, it’s about entitlement, it’s about adults centering their own needs above the safety of children. And to be very clear, this is not an excuse, this is an indictment. Abuse happens when a culture teaches men that their feelings matter more than anyone else’s boundaries, that they are owed access, that accountability is optional, that vulnerability is shameful. But control is masculine. So, no, this isn’t about bad apples. It’s about a system that never required men to grow up emotionally before handing them power. A society that puts men above women and men above children isn’t strong, it’s immature, and it produces exactly what you’d expect, leaders who behave like boys and a culture that keeps asking children to pay the price.”

Julian Assange; “It really is my opinion that the media in general are so bad, we would have to question whether the world wouldn’t be better off without them altogether. Nearly every war that has started in the past 50 years has been a result of media lies. The media could have stopped it if they had searched deep enough. If they hadn’t reprinted government propaganda, they could have stopped it. But what does that mean? Well, that means basically, populations don’t like wars, and populations have to be fooled into wars. Populations don’t willingly and with open eyes go into a war. So if we have a good media environment, then we will also have a peaceful environment.”

The government’s account of the Skipal affair was meant to demonise Putin. Craig Murray, Patrick Henningsen and Tim Norman discuss.

Watch; Skripal and Novichok, what didn’t happen UK Column, 11 December 2025

Craig Murray; ” You convince yourselves that you’re united against an enemy and you are the good guys and they are the bad guys, and therefore it’s patriotic and in the interests of the state to support the official narrative. But I want to add something onto this, I was talking earlier about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction and my time in the Foreign Office. There are two things I want to share. The day that the dossier on weapons of mass destruction, the famous dirty dossier, was published, I was walking down the corridor and Bill Patey, Sir William Patey, who later became British ambassador to Iraq and British ambassador to Afghanistan, and at that time he was head of the Foreign Office’s Middle Eastern, Near Eastern, North African department. He was one of the people who had to sign off the dossier and I just passed him in the corridor, and we both went to Dundee University. I think we were the only people in the Foreign Office who went to Dundee University. So I stopped him and I said, Bill, it’s not true, this stuff about Iraqi WMDs, is there something I don’t know? Is there something I missed? And he just laughed and said, of course not, Craig, it’s bollocks, and just carried on walking down the corridor. So civil servants are able somehow to know they’re lying and know it’s not true and yet continue on the job. Also, another person who I won’t name because they’re still in the Foreign Office, similar situation, I was talking to them, this is while I’m still in the Foreign Office, I was talking to them about it, and I said, how do you reconcile this? And we both played, we were both aficionados, we both played the video game Football Manager. And he said to me, ‘when you’re playing Football Manager, while you’re playing, you are the manager of Manchester United or whichever team you’re managing. While you’re immersed in the game, you are that manager. You’re playing the game, you are it. And you might play it for four hours, during which you are the manager of Manchester United. Then you switch off the game and stop, he said, and when I’m working, Iraq has weapons of mass destruction because that’s the game I’m in, that’s the role I’m playing. And then when I leave work and go home, of course I know that Iraq doesn’t have weapons of mass destruction.’ That’s another interesting glimpse into the psychology, and that’s from someone who was in the heat of it. People manage. When you saw the inquiry they had their official faces on, and they believed it because they were in the game. Probably when they go home and have a cup of tea and talk to their mates or whatever, they might well admit it’s nonsense.

I’ve often wondered about the psychology because when I came across things, I couldn’t put up with the lies and I wasn’t able to live a lie basically or put up with grossly immoral things. There were other people I knew who were very nice people, they weren’t bad people at all, they were lovely people, really good people, my close friends I’ve worked with over. 20 years, they were prepared to sign off on lies and do things they knew to be wrong as part of a job, and I’ve spent half a lifetime trying to understand the psychology of that.”

Read; Sweden Broke its own Laws with Nobel Prize to Venezuela’s Machado, by Max Blumenthal and Wyatt Reed, Collective Evolution, 5 January 2026

‘The Swedish government violated its own laws by awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to Venezuelan opposition figure Maria Corina Machado, according to an explosive legal brief filed by Julian Assange, the Wikileaks co-founder and former political prisoner who was hounded across the globe, confined in harsh conditions, and subjected to physical and psychological torment over the course of a decade by the US and its allies.

The Nobel Committee’s decision to award Machado the Peace Prize — and the 11 million Swedish Kroner ($1.18 million USD) reward which accompanies it — means that “there is a real risk that funds derived from Nobel’s endowment have been or will be… diverted from their charitable purpose to facilitate aggression, crimes against humanity, and war crimes,” Assange stated.

The Wikileaks founder pointed to the “ample public statements… showing that the U.S. government and María Corina Machado have exploited the authority of the prize to provide them with a casus moralis for war,” adding that the explicitly stated purpose of the war sought by Machado and her wealthy Latin American backers would be “installing her by force in order to plunder $1.7 trillion in Venezuelan oil and other resources.”

The Nobel Foundation stands accused of a number of violations of Swedish criminal law, including breach of trust, misappropriation and gross misappropriation, conspiracy, crimes against international law, as well as financing of aggression, facilitation of war crimes and crimes against humanity, and breaching Sweden’s stated obligations under the Rome Statute, to which Stockholm says it is “deeply committed.”

Under Swedish law, “Alfred Nobel’s endowment for peace cannot be spent on the promotion of war,” Assange noted. “Nor can it be used as a tool in foreign military intervention. Venezuela, whatever the status of its political system, is no exception.”

By granting Nobel funds to Machado, Assange argues that the Committee is effectively financing “a conspiracy to murder civilians, to violate national sovereignty using military force…” By refusing to end payments, “they flagrantly violate Nobel’s will and clearly cross the threshold into criminality,” he alleged. The Wikileaks co-founder seeks the “immediate freezing of all remaining funds and a full criminal investigation” into Committee members who awarded the prize.’

Scott Ritter’s bank closed his account; “They (the government) did it to harass me. This is pure 100% harassment.”

Watch Scott Ritter “They STOLE My Money!” Sabby Sabs, 16 January 2026

Scott Ritter; ” I went to put gas in the car. The car didn’t work. I was like, that’s strange. I called my wife because she, of course, runs all my finances. And I said, ‘hey, car’s not working, got any, any clue?’ She checked the bank, all zeros, no money in the account. We’re like, ‘that’s strange, did we get hacked? What’s going on?’ I called the local bank and they said, ‘we don’t know anything about it’. Call corporate, call the number and they said, ‘oh, yeah, we’ve debanked you. We’ve decided to end our banking relationship with you.’ And when we said ‘why?’ They said, ‘we don’t have to tell you. It’s just it. And you don’t have any wherewithal.’ Well, they forget who they’re dealing with. I have my ways. Next I am in contact with corporate and they said, ‘yeah you’re high risk, there’s several suspicious activity reports that have been filed on you.’ Suspicious activity report is mandatory reporting under the banking laws. It’s designed to prevent money laundering and criminal activity and all this kind of stuff. So I went to the local branch and I said, did you guys file suspicious activity reports? They said, ‘no’. I said, ‘well, let’s do a quick review of my banking history. Do you see any red flags? And they went through it and they’re like, no, no, no, no’. You want to know why they didn’t see any red flags? Because everything I do with them is explained to them. For instance, in August when I went to Russia. Russia doesn’t have a digital economy that’s interlinked with the West. Russia is one of the most digitalised economies in the world. The Mir card and everything, it’s all great, but as an American, if you go there, you can’t use it. You can’t use your own credit cards because they’re delinked. So you have to bring cash. And when you’re doing journalism, that means cash has to pay for studios. I pay for everything, studios, interpreters, the producers and all that. I’ve got to bring a lot of cash and the maximum you’re allowed to bring into Russia is $10,000. So in August I went through donations and everything, I collected the money, told people I was going to Russia. People kindly donated, collected that money and pulled it out of my bank account. $10,000. I told the bank, I sat down and said, I’m withdrawing this money because I’m going to Russia on business. And we actually cleansed the money because in Russia you can’t take old hundred dollar bills, you’ve got to take brand new hundred dollar bills, they won’t accept the old ones and so we had to go through, and I had to inspect each hundred dollar bill to make sure there’s no marks on it, no stains on it, and they replaced it with me, they worked with me to make sure that I had a stack of money and I took that into Russia, no problems. I did the same thing in October. I did the same thing in November. My bank didn’t file any suspicious activity reports, and by law the suspicious activity reports have to be filed 30 days of the event. So I dug around and I finally got them to say no, no. I said, who did this, who in Citizens did this? Well, we don’t have to tell you. I said, no, you don’t have to tell me. You’re going to tell me. They said, well, it’s the priority response team, where the priority response team is in their fraud department responds directly to inputs from the federal government. And so this means somebody in the federal government tipped off Citizens Bank that I had suspicious activity, and they did it at least three times, which turns me automatically from an algorithm standpoint into what they call a high risk client. And they de-risk automatically, which means that the system just spits out the automatic letter. It’s just a form letter, they spit it out. It says, we’re done with you, you’re high risk, goodbye, we don’t have to talk to you now. Why would the federal government do this? Because they don’t have to. First of all, there’s nothing suspicious about it. The federal government knew I was going to Russia. I informed them. I told the FBI I was going to Russia. They did it to harass me. This is pure 100% harassment.”

Covid Vaccine Scam

Read; Trump at Davos; “Covid” was a military operation. “Dust” [chemical weapons] was used. Sasha Latypova, 23 January 2026

‘I told you so in 2022. Trump tells you now in 2026. Will freedom experts admit they mislead you into “public health mistakes” and “wrong science”?’

‘Recently, in a rather surprising turn of events, at Davos of all places, Trump has admitted that covid was a military operation! You can watch the clip below. (It appears that Substack is now allowing embeds from X, which means they are going to censor harder): TRUMP BRAGS ABOUT OPERATION WARP SPEED YET AGAIN

Even more interesting, in the same speech Trump has admitted that “covid” illness was induced by spraying chemical weapons (he says “dust” in this clip). Well, dust is certainly not a virus, nor a GOF virus with furin cleavage and an HIV insert targeted at Africans while protecting the Ashkenazim, and it did not come from Wuhan either. (Edit: If you are wondering what the above statement means, please recall that during the first couple of years of this op, many prominent commentators on both sides claimed SARS Cov2 was “ethnically targeted GOF virus”. ) It would be too far to blow this “dust” all the way to the US, wouldn’t it? Did Fauci pay for this magic dust with the NIH cash? Or was it just plain vanilla chem warfare deployed by the good old US of A Chemical Corps, who do not report to the bad-bad Anthony Fauci? You decide:

Listen to what Trump said in Davos today !!!

None of this should be unfamiliar terrain for my regular readers. I have been saying this for about 4 years now, while “freedom experts” with large platforms treat me as a leper and keep telling you Pfizer lied, stupid FDA didn’t read the data, didn’t follow the science and somebody made some public health mistakes. If only they could look at the reanalysis of Pfizer’s clinical trial! Then bad Pfizer will be finally arrested and put in jail and the real science would win!!!’

Read; Just days after Professor Francis Boyle agreed to testify against Bill Gates and Albert Bourla regarding the deadly mRNA COVID vaccines… He was FOUND DEAD Dr David Cartland, 18 December 2025

‘Just when you thought you’d heard it all, this resurfaced interview with Professor Francis Boyle—the man who literally WROTE the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989—will leave you speechless. Just days after Professor Francis Boyle agreed to testify against Bill Gates and Albert Bourla regarding the deadly mRNA COVID vaccines… He was FOUND DEAD. Boyle authored the “Bioweapons Act” in the US and called mRNA injections ‘Bioweapons & Franken-Shots’.

Where does the Pentagon fit into all this?… He officially states that both SARS-CoV-2 and mRNA injections were offensive biological weapons programs funded by DARPA from the beginning. Gain of function? That was the cover story. According to Boyle, the real goal has always been population reduction technology “with lethal vaccines.” He goes further—he defines the rules as “synthetic biological weapons of mass destruction” because they trigger prion-like autoimmune reactions and turbo tumors.’

Chickenpox has been added to the UKs MMR combined vaccine, adding to its dangerous outcome on our babies’ immune system. This has been considered dangerous and not recommended in the US for toddlers under 4.

Watch; Analysis of new childhood injection schedules UK Column News, 7 January 2025

Mike Robinson; “Back in August, the Government announced that a free chickenpox vaccine will be offered for the first time to children across England on the NHS from January this year. And they said that thousands of children will be protected against chickenpox for the first time. So this is. So the question is, is this to be a new vaccine added to the schedule? Well, no. In fact, GP practices are offering eligible children a combination vaccine for measles, mumps, rubella and now varicella, the clinical term for chickenpox.”

Dr Andrew Wakefield; “Why they’ve done it is a mystery to me. There is a convenience, clearly, to combining these shots all in one. Let me take you back to when I was in the UK and my experience in talking to David Salisbury, who was the principal medical officer for vaccines at the time at the Department of Health. And I’d done an extensive search of all the pre-licencing safety studies for the single measles vaccine and the combination MMR vaccine, and I couldn’t find any valid comparisons of the safety profile of these two approaches, and I said to him, what evidence do you have that giving the triple vaccine, the MMR, is as safe as giving the single vaccine? And he said, we had no reason to assume that the safety profile would be any different. Now what you’re doing is you are giving a human being a combination of live viruses in a way in which they’ve never seen them before. You’re giving them together and you’re giving them by injection. You have absolutely no right to assume anything in terms of the impact of that on safety, none whatsoever. That requires extensive study. And years ago, we didn’t have the chickenpox vaccine in the UK at the time, but years ago when I first spoke to the media about the possible MMR autism link, I asked for further studies. That’s what I asked for, further studies. It was not don’t vaccinate, it was we need further research. Well, that research has now been done, we’re many years on. And I just want to read you this because this is absolutely essential to where we’re going with the chickenpox vaccine. This is a review of all of the papers, 136 papers that purport to examine the link between vaccines and autism. And it’s done by, and the important thing is it’s done by a group of people, some of whom were profound sceptics about the possible link between vaccines and autism, including Peter McCullough, who’s the world’s most published cardiologist, who’s really come to the fore in his criticism of the approach to dealing with COVID. But this is the conclusion of the study and let me just read this to you. ‘Combination and early timed routine childhood vaccination constitutes the most significant modifiable risk factor for autism spectrum disorder’. Combination and early timed vaccine. So here you have a profound concern that the combination vaccines, including MMR, are indeed linked to the increased risk of autism. Now they’re suggesting putting another vaccine in, chickenpox. Well, how does this confound Dr. Sauliper’s opinion all those years ago that it was reasonable to assume that something you were going to give essentially to every child in the country, and potentially every child in the world, was safe, when you had no right to assume that at all? That the adverse reaction rate in terms of febrile seizures is double for the MMRV compared with the MMR, it is doubled. These are published data from the manufacturers themselves. And so it is not innocuous to combine these in a way in which nature has never seen them before. It is not innocuous. The other unanticipated effect of this was that repeated exposure in the environment to chickenpox was essential in protecting adults. What it did is to periodically boost the immune response, the antibody response to chickenpox, and allow people to be protected into old age. When epidemics of chickenpox were removed in this country by the routine use of the vaccine, then children no longer caught chickenpox, there were no longer epidemics, and that boosting of elderly people did not occur, and so what we saw in the face of chickenpox vaccination was an epidemic of shingles in older people because their immune response to chickenpox was now diminished. What did the industry do? The industry had discovered, had created a new disorder, vaccine-associated shingles. What did they do? They took the chickenpox vaccine, they increased its potency times ten, and they called it a chickenpox vaccine. They had created for themselves a new market and with it a very painful and debilitating condition. So these interventions, these breaches of the sort of natural balance between man and infection are not without severe consequences.”

Watch; “They’re making $60 BILLION a year selling vaccines…but they’re making $500 BILLION a year selling the remedies for the injuries caused by vaccines.” Stop The Shots, 11 January 2026

Interviewer; “How. About all the attention deficit stuff and all of that as well?”

R F Kennedy Jr; “All of that is directly linked to vaccines in the scientific literature. On our website we have 1,400 peer-reviewed studies published on NIH’s website, PubMed, linking it to all of linking various vaccines to all of those injuries. So what are they doing this for money? Well they’re making $60 billion a year selling us vaccines but they’re making $500 billion a year selling the remedies for the injuries caused by vaccines. The diabetes medication, the Adderall, the Ritalin, the Advair inhalers, the Albuterol inhalers, the anti-seizure medications, all of those. This is a really great business plan for these companies, you make people sick and then you sell them the lifetime cure. Measles, they weren’t making any money. If you get measles or chickenpox the cure is chicken soup and vitamin A and you can’t patent either of those and you’re well in a week. They’re self- limiting illnesses that go in a week but if you can give somebody that vaccine and make them diabetic for life, you’ve got a permanent customer.”

Even if people think there is an over population problem, does it justify tricking men and women into sterilisation programs? Why not have a policy to reduce the number of kids across the board?

What he claims is staggering: According to De Becker, the 1975 Kissinger Report made population reduction, not “control”, official U.S. foreign policy in 12 targeted nations. He says it pushed medicalised birth control, covert fertility-regulating injections, and even paid sterilisation programmes. He points out that:

• The WHO spent the 1970s developing tetanus/HCG fertility-regulating vaccines

• Forced sterilisation campaigns were carried out in India and Peru

• “Wellness injections” were allegedly used to reduce pregnancy

• And the Kissinger framework openly tied population reduction to access to foreign natural resources

Then he draws a modern parallel:

• The Kissinger Report mentions injections that temporarily reduce male fertility

• Fauci admitted the COVID vaccine reduces male sperm count for 3 months

• And people were told to take it every 3 months

De Becker warns:

The same ideology that drove 1970s population-reduction policy has now merged with global health power Gates, WHO, and the new vaccine infrastructure. He calls it “dark as hell” and insists almost nobody realises it’s written in official documents. This clip is going to explode.’

The RNA vaccine has already systemically so damaged our vital organs that for example our brains are not working as they did pre the vaccine.

Watch; Professor Sucharit Bhakdi; “I am no longer optimistic anymore” Global GeoPolitics, 26 December 2025

Prof Bhakdi; “Now I’m going to be very honest with you. I am no longer optimistic anymore and the reason is very simple, the reason is because I’m afraid that these RNA vaccines, mod RNA vaccines, whatever you want to call them, have already done their job. And what their job has been? This is incredible, was not even known to the planners because they didn’t realise that what they were doing. But it is what I said years ago that the vessels throughout the body are going to be attacked from top to toe. This is something that never happens in any disease. Systemic, meaning the brain, the heart, the liver, everything can be attacked, the vessels, and the trouble is that it’s turned out to be true. So this systemic vasculitis leads to destruction of brain cells, obviously, and that is what we are now experiencing. We are seeing, I’m afraid to say, billions of people whose brains are not working anymore, not as they should be. They are altered and they do not have the willpower anymore, they don’t have the intelligence anymore to move things. And so the only chance we have is to stop this mod RNA crime, because this crime is going to destroy us. The trouble is that they’re rolling out this RNA vaccines all over the place and people don’t realise this is being done.”

“This is Paul Craig Roberts, formerly Assistant Secretary of the United States Treasury, speaking in support of the human rights attorney Reiner Fuellmich. Evidence presented to me indicates that Fuellmich was kidnapped by the German government, imprisoned first and then tried and convicted on false embezzlement charges in a corrupt government court that prevented exculpatory evidence from being presented at his trial. The result prevented Fuellmich from developing a lawsuit against governments and pharmaceutical companies for deceiving the public about COVID and the dangers of the COVID vaccine. The behaviour of the German court is a great stain on the reputation of Germany and on justice in Europe.”

Transhumanism

Watch; Dr. Ana Maria Mihalcea, MD, PhD on the Transhuman Agenda 19 January 2026

‘Special Guest – Dr Ana Mihalcea on the Transhuman Agenda joins gene Decode and Paul Brooker for this important presentation. Dr. Mihalcea shows images of her personal research as well as sharing information from other researchers on how the vaxxed and unvaxxed individual’s blood samples show what is happening to our blood from the nano-tech and how they are using the electricity of our blood cells to manufacture their factories and beyond.’

Dr Ana Mihalcea; “So I actually was a whistleblower and experienced myself being targeted. And I learned about this technology then through the journey of my own healing, and then started working with many different international researchers worldwide who were also looking into this phenomena. So this warfare that is happening is really on every level of existence at once, at the nanoscale. But also it is part of attacking the human being and corrupting the human being on the physical, genetic, emotional and spiritual level. And the more we know about this and do what we can to protect not just our body, but also our soul, that’s, I think, the biggest part of this war. So when I was targeted, I had a near death experience and I actually saw a red dragon, satanic being, and how it was manipulating the technology in the blood and through that was controlling all of humanity. And then I started to reverse engineer once I healed from this attack, what actually was happening. And so in the following years, many people have actually confirmed what I was finding since 2021. So this is a bit of a background. So right now we have a lot of push towards artificial intelligence. And it is being sold to us as the age of new possibilities, and the people who are driving this are technocratic transhumanists. So what that means is that they believe in a material world view without divine providence, they do not believe in God, but they actually see artificial intelligence as their God. And they want to push this towards all of humanity and ultimately are promising things like immortality by uploading one’s mind files into the cloud and into the metaverse. But that is a folly, for artificial intelligence cannot duplicate the soul, nor the spirit. And ultimately there was a prophecy by Rudolph Steiner almost a century ago discussing that in the future there will be a vaccine that will endeavour to sever the connection of the soul and the spirit. And then we started hearing about Yuval Noah Harari from the WEF, who said indeed that in the fourth Industrial Revolution that the soul and the spirit of mankind will be a thing of the past. So, what exactly was the technological platform to make this happen? And what’s very important to understand is that Covid was all about ushering in this fourth industrial revolution. And what it was about, the technologies involved with artificial intelligence, then the Internet of things and Internet of bodies, robotics, the humanoid robots. Elon Musk is developing and projecting 10 billion humanoid robots by 2030, and we have blockchain, digital currency and nanotechnology, and then artificial intelligence as well as virtual reality. So the whole idea is that the data collection of every aspect of life, every microbe that would be digitised and every biological biometric data of any human being on Earth would all be uploaded into the cloud under the governance of artificial intelligence and quantum computing and biotechnology and genetic engineering is very important about this. So this, this idea is to create a metaverse, a digital copy of our physical reality, and where human beings then would be dependent on devices, and they would live their life in a virtual reality. Because ultimately artificial intelligence and robotics will be replacing an enormous amount of jobs, starting already in 2026, for example, Amazon will replace 500,000 workers with robotics. Walmart is following suit. Elon Musk cyber trucks are expected to replace 2 million truck drivers in the United States. And so then the conversion to digital assets would then basically make sure that every human being under one digital QR code would be tracked, traced, and all of their life would be dependent on that. But that model also is the end of free will, when we are spiritual beings incarnated in a physical body, and our right to make known the unknown, to evolve and to explore, all of that gets recorded in our soul. And the spirit that we are is an immortal being, so to create automatons in which the physical body is alive, but the connection to the spirit is severed or replaced by artificial intelligence, either through neural links or nano and micro robots in the bloodstream, is an abomination to God’s creation that you so beautifully explained in your initial prayer. So this is what we’re up against. And I very early understood that COVID 19 wasn’t about a virus, it was about the WEF complex complete global reset to bring in the One World Order of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.”

US Aggression Against Venezuela

Alex Kramer explains Trumps strategy in Venezuela

Watch; Alex Krainer: Venezuela Goes Trap & With Greenland NATO Faces Collapse Dialogue Works, 8 January 2026

Alex Krainer; “What he’s doing in Venezuela, I cannot say. First of all, we have to understand Trump was formed in part by his career as a game show host and in World Wrestling Federation, and that maybe that formed him in the sense that when you score some kind of a success, you make the maximum out of it because you want to impress the point, and you want to scare your adversaries into not defending themselves, into putting their arms down and saying, yes, sir, we will do as you say. Now the abduction of Nicolas Maduro, a lot of people are saying like, ‘oh, what a precision, surgical, perfect operation, what genius.’ Yeah, unless it was an agreed deal because, like you went there with four helicopters, I think it was four helicopters, maybe it was more or less, and first you said nobody got hurt and you got not only the president, but also his wife. Like getting one person uninjured is complicated enough, let alone two. And you dropped like 500 pound bombs and the security system didn’t wake up. I find it very unlikely. So I would say most probably that was a deal. And then if we rewind the clock like two or three weeks back in December, we had statements from Trump, he said, we’re very close to a deal, he didn’t explain what kind of a deal, but he said we’re very close to a deal, we’re talking to the Venezuelans and so forth. And then you had statements from Nicolas Maduro himself, who was talking about his conversations with Donald Trump himself, and Maduro was saying, no, no, they were very cordial and respectful. Well, they were talking about some kind of a deal. Maybe this was the deal that they were talking about. I don’t know, Nima, not any better than anybody else, but I think we have to try to take as much context into trying to discern what’s going on. And 100% the biggest of humanity, headquartered in the city of London, is this massive network of money laundering supranational global institutions that enjoy absolute legal immunity and are untouchable to any nation’s law enforcement. And so when people say that Trump is wrecking the system of international law, you have to kind of get rigorous about studying what international law is and isn’t. It’s not just, oh, we’re not going to be attacking each other is that there are 76 documented international organisations, including banks, including Gavi vaccine thing, World Health Organisation, the international energy, all of these which enjoy complete immunity, meaning their premises are inviolable, their archives are inviolable, you can’t even go into their offices to conduct an investigation. And if you got any of their documents, they’re not permissible in court because you obtain them illegally, because legally you just simply cannot. So they enjoy complete legal immunity and they are allowed to do whatever they like. So it seems to me that Trump has gone rogue because he’s targeting exactly this enemy. And then if we go back 12 years to 2014 and we have Victor Ivanov talking about the very same enemy and saying this is the enemy of humanity, this is where it’s at, maybe this is the target, but we’ll find out.”

Vasily Nebenzya, Russian Ambassador to the UN; “We firmly condemn the US act of armed aggression against Venezuela in breach of all international legal norms. In connection with the confirmed reports about the presence of the abducted President of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro and his spouse in the United States today as we are aware they are in New York we call upon the US leadership to immediately release the legitimately elected president of an independent state and his spouse. Any problems existing or conflict between the United States and Venezuela need to be resolved through dialogue and this is precisely what is enshrined in the UN Charter for purposes and the principles of which a number of states in recent years have begun to apply selectively depending upon the political landscape. Today we are reaping the consequences of their recklessness and selectivity in matters related to respect for the norms of international law which were linked to the so-called rules-based world order. Here is your rules-based world order in all of its glory which is horrifying even the staunchest Atlanticists.”

Trump lists countries to be attacked and below is a list of 10 countries recently targetted by US aggression to effect regime change.

Watch; A history of US regime change: 10 examples; MiddleEastEye, 10 January 2026

‘The US has issued multiple threats toward other countries and territories since its attack on Venezuela. It comes at the same time US President Donald Trump has also signed an executive order withdrawing the US from 66 multilateral organisations, about half of which are United Nations initiatives. Similar rhetoric has often preceded US‑backed coups, invasions, and covert operations throughout history. While historians and experts debate the full number of leaders the US has toppled, Middle East Eye highlights ten notable cases that illustrate a long-standing pattern in US foreign policy with far-reaching consequences.’

Presenter; “With the US now actively threatening countries after Venezuela, here are just ten of the many times it toppled foreign leaders over the years, regardless of international law. Number one, 1953 Iran, Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh was democratically elected, but then he nationalised oil which threatened British profits. The US was also worried about Soviet influence in Iran, so the CIA and Britain staged a coup, restoring full authority to the pro-Western Shah. For over 26 years he became increasingly authoritarian until the 1979 revolution turned Iran decisively against the US. Number two, 1954, Guatemala President Jacobo Arben’s land reforms threatened US corporate interests, so Washington branded him a communist and backed a coup, replacing him with a military dictatorship. Decades of genocide followed. Three, 1960, Congo, democratically elected Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba sought independence from Western control, so he was overthrown and assassinated with US backing, plunging the country into prolonged instability. Lumumba is now seen as a national hero and a martyr for the Pan African movement. Number four, 1964 to 1973, Latin America, from Brazil to Chile, left wing governments were removed with US support. This fed into Operation Condor, a transnational system of US support for right wing military dictatorships that carried out torture, disappearances and murder. Number five, 1983, Granada. After an internal coup, the US invaded, ousting the Marxist military government, and because the island was part of the Commonwealth, President Reagan later had to apologise to Margaret Thatcher for not giving Britain a heads up. Reagan said, “We regret very much the embarrassment that’s been caused you”. Thatcher said, “The action’s on the way now and we just hope that it will be successful”. Number six, 1989, Panama. Manuel Noriega threatened US. control over the Panama Canal. He was also charged with drug offences like Maduro, so the US invaded, removed him and blasted rock music outside the Vatican embassy in which he was trying to take refuge to force his surrender. Number seven, 2001, Afghanistan, post 9/11 war on terror, the US toppled the Taliban for harbouring Al Qaeda, twenty years of war followed, but the Taliban returned to power in 2021. Number eight, 2003, Iraq. Saddam Hussein was removed over weapons of mass destruction that were never found. The state then collapsed, sectarian war and extremist groups filled the vacuum. And number nine, 2011, Libya. US-backed NATO strikes removed Gaddafi during the Arab Spring. Civil war then followed and the state fractured. And here we are at number 10, 2026 in Venezuela. All of these covert operations, sanctions, economic warfare and military threats follow a wildly familiar pattern, don’t they? A deliberate US strategy to control governments, plunder resources, and shape the world order.”

Greenland

Why Trump is making a grab for Greenland

Listen; Global Chaos—Breaking Down Trump’s Moves on Venezuela, Iran, and Greenland UK Column, 16 January 2026

Carl Zha; “Trump is really antagonising the Europeans. Of course, I think the Europeans are not going to do much because the European leaders are pretty spineless, but even so, it is poisoning the transatlantic alliance. Then why is he doing that? Why is he at the risk of destabilising NATO, destabilising transatlantic alliance, why is it making a grab for Greenland, you think? “

Dr. Warwick Powell; “That’s a great question, because, as you say, the United States could achieve everything that it wants from a strategic point of view in relation to Greenland without doing anything other than exploiting its position within NATO, expanding its current military presence, and lo and behold, surprise, surprise, they could even invest in Greenland and conduct trade and economic development and expand their presence through all of those pretty normal means. So why would they do the grand takeover? It’s hard to understand, but perhaps there’s some ways that we could at least gain an appreciation for why you’d go to these links. One, I think President Trump does see himself as a president of historic consequence, and a president of historic consequence needs to have trophies, so I think Greenland is an easy trophy to be a president of historic consequence. The second reason, I think, is that there are some resources in Greenland that perhaps the risk assessors in the United States believe should not be left to indirect channels of control, that the United States would be better off having absolute control by controlling a territory. That may be a second reason, so it’s a question of risk calculus, can we afford to leave this as something that we indirectly control through NATO but don’t quite control? I think the third thing, though, is that it’s quite clear that President Trump does not have a lot of time for the Europeans and this is one way of really demonstrating to the Western Europeans who’s boss, and I think in the process, ultimately, from the United States point of view, trying to, through this, lock in Western Europe as a subordinate to Washington’s global power position. There are some risks in all of this. As you touch on, it spoils the relationship between the Western European populations more than necessarily the elites in Brussels and the United States. It could add fuel to the growing nationalistic political sentiments in Western Europe, where there are more people across more of the member states who are unhappy with the direction that Brussels is taking Europe, Brussels, in both the EU sense and in the NATO sense, that there is a belief that the political elite running the military and the, let’s call it the economic arm of the European apparatuses have lost sight of their priorities. They’re no longer focused on the improvement of European living conditions as much as they are obsessed by keeping the Americans locked into an unwinnable war against Russia. So I think that there’s a fair bit of that sort of stuff going on, because without that sense of personal triumph and leaving a historical mark and perhaps that risk calculus question, there really isn’t a particularly huge need to expend what I think would be quite a lot of political capital to take Greenland. Now, of course, I don’t think that there are any impediments. Not only will the Europeans not be able to do anything, I don’t think it would actually take much. There are a handful of ports and airports in Greenland, there’s not a lot of roads, there’s 56,000 people, there’s an American base and I would have thought that the United States could, in effect, take charge of all of those critical pieces of infrastructure, which is the connection that, makes it possible for people to come and go from Greenland within two days, three days. It wouldn’t take much at all, the real question is, in my mind is, is this just more bluff and blunder and we’re going to see a great big Greenland taco, or is Trump actually going to make the move?”

Watch; Alastair Crooke: Iran’s Missile Dominance DEVASTATES Trump’s War Plan, Russia in Control; Danny Haiphong,19 January 2026

Alastair Crooke; ” What the Europeans will come to accept, reluctantly squirming, will be that they really want the relationship with Washington to continue because they are fixated on trying to get Trump to provide security guarantees for any European forces that are sent to Ukraine. Should there be a ceasefire, of which prospect is none at the moment, but they are still trying to cajole and coerce Trump to doing this. So, an outright big row with Washington is problematic. It’s doubly problematic because, if they really do go to all out trade war, they’re thinking of a $93 billion tariff imposition on America for its actions on Greenland. Trump has retaliated with a 10% from 1 January on Europeans that won’t accept his taking of Greenland, rising to 25%. I think it’s on the 1st of June, if that’s still the case…….Europe at the moment is in economic crisis. Germany is in deep, deep crisis. Jobs are declining, industry is shutting up in Germany in a big way, because they’ve lost their cheap energy resources. And guess what? If Europe produces its bazooka, well, America has a potential bazooka, too. Since they cut the pipelines, 60% of Europe’s gas is now LNG imported from the United States. What would they do if America cut that? They’ve cut it off from Russia. There’s a little bit, but do you think Qatar would give it to them and snub the Americans? Unlikely. So what will be the consequences of a trade war with America? So my guess is that after complaining and after a sort of stormy session in Davos, they will let Trump have Greenland.”

Read; Being in Hong Kong reminds me sharply of the madness of colonialism; George Galloway, 17 January 2026

‘Being in Hong Kong- one of the loveliest places on earth – making some television appearances reminds me sharply of the madness of colonialism. Here I am almost as far away from Blighty as it is possible to be, and I’m in Cochrane Street! Round the corner from Queens Rd! I try to muster what conceivable justification there could be for white British people owning a part of China and enjoying their domination of millions of Chinese people for centuries. And until the recent National Security Law still imagining that they could dictate terms to a nuclear superpower nation of 1.4 billion people! The biggest economy in the world being lectured by a state which increasingly resembles the Wreck of the Hesperus. About the running of a part of China obtained by force and held under duress. Imagine if China bombarded us until we let them seize Southend on Sea and run it for their benefit and even when they agreed to give it up seek to dominate it for 50 years meantime. And hoping to spend that time subverting the sovereignty they had reluctantly conceded. We’d describe that as madness, right. Yet that’s what happened in reverse. And all this in the context of an entire century in which we made war on China to FORCE them to allow our OPIUM from our other colony of INDIA to hook the Chinese on Heroin. The Chinese call it the Century of Humiliation. Hard to call it anything else!

Such was the sense of racial superiority in the Britain of that time that it must have been literally inconceivable to Mr Cochrane, in whose street I sit, that the day would come when China under the Communist Party would be the most powerful country on the planet, the most powerful that there has ever been. But today’s Mr Cochrane’s instead of seeking forgiveness and seeking to make amends hoping to be allowed nonetheless to maintain normal relations and maybe a bit of trade and investment CONTINUE to speak of and to China as if she were a Coolie. We DARE to call THEM a threat, an adversary even an enemy!

When the Anti-Terrorism Police held me and my wife at Gatwick Airport for 9 hours between us last year they had the gall to grill me about my relationship with China! Terrorism was how the British Empire arrived in China and how we remained there, how Mr Cochrane presumably prospered there, got his name on a street there. That a predictable slew of hostile comments will now ensue underneath this article is testament to the fact that many of our people are still in the grip of empire-loyalism, racial superiority fantasies and deep denial. Meanwhile literally the sun just rose again like thunder outta China across the bay. The east is red.’

‘The United States is going after Venezuela, Iran, maybe Greenland, but eventually if China and Russia wait and sit on their hands, they will be the next target after Venezuela and Iran have fallen’

Listen; Global Chaos—Breaking Down Trump’s Moves on Venezuela, Iran, and Greenland UK Column News, 16 January 2026

Dr. Warwick Powell; “The United States clearly has a president who is willing to capriciously intervene militarily in places, and they will consequently seek to keep their heads down and out of harm’s way in the short term, their long run move is actually to hedge against American militarism, not to cave into it. And that means consolidating and strengthening their economic relationships, in particular with China. And the last thing I’ll say on this point is, and this is the economic issue, we saw this during the course of 2025 with the trade wars as they were unfolding post 2nd of April. And what we saw was actually the demonstration of Chinese material capability. Sure, China doesn’t have a military that can go around the world and match the Americans toe to toe, wherever the Americans want to go, especially in the Caribbean, which is within a stone’s throw of the United States. China isn’t able to do that. But what it is able to do is deliver economic capacity for countries, whether it’s infrastructure, whether it’s access to markets, whether it’s access to new technologies, and it’s those things that will ultimately stand not only China in stead, but ultimately contribute to the ongoing structural transformations of the world in the direction of a more multipolar and a fairer global system. What we’re seeing from the US is a reaction to that. The United States is clearly experiencing a chronic case of displacement anxiety. And those in Washington who live the life of entitlement, global political entitlement, clearly feeling very displaced and displaced people with a sense of entitlement backed by a truckload of hubris, together with access to a $1 trillion per annum defence system, highly incentivised to lash out.”

Carl Zha; “What do you say about, to the people who say, ‘oh, they’re using what I call a reverse domino theory, so now the United States is going after Venezuela, Iran, maybe Greenland, but eventually if China and Russia wait and sit on their hands, they will be the next target after Venezuela and Iran has fallen’, what do you say to that? “

Dr Warwick Powell; “They’re nuclear powers. There’s no need to have a further discussion. The United States might be heavily displaced and behaving like an extremely anxious major power, but the United States doesn’t have a death wish either. And as much as you get a lot of bloviating on social media with a bunch of people beating their chests, I don’t think there is one person in Washington who thinks that pressing that red button is a good idea, and engaging in a direct military conflict with any of the other major nuclear powers is not a good idea, and I seriously doubt it’s going to happen. Which of course doesn’t mean we’re not going to have incredibly tense situations and all sorts of proxy conflicts all over the world. One of the tactical moves and perhaps even strategic moves that the United States is making in this context is that it’s going to stir up a lot of trouble everywhere. This is partly how a declining hegemon seeks to hold on to what it’s got. As other countries find strength through collaboration, the best move for the hegemon is to seek to disrupt that.”

U.S. Grand Strategy Towards China.

Watch; Jeffrey Sachs Slams Trump; “US Imperial Age Ending” – China’s Growth Shakes US & Europe The Indian Express, 28 November 2025

Jeffrey Sachs; “Let me read to you a very interesting article, if you want a kind of illumination of the American mindset, it was an article written ten years ago for the Council on Foreign Relations, which is the establishment institution in New York, about US-China relations and I recommend people to read it. It’s by Blackwell and Tellis, Robert Blackwill and Ashley Tellis, and it’s called ‘Revising US Grand Strategy towards China’, published I think it’s March 2015 and I’ll just read you a few excerpts and then it will help you understand the geopolitics. It helps me understand the geopolitics entirely. So this is 2015. Blackwell, who was my colleague at Harvard, after he was at Harvard, went to become one of America’s leading diplomats. He was ambassador to India and a very senior official in the United States. So what he says is rather authoritative here. It’s not an academic speculation, it’s an announcement about U.S. policy. He says ‘since its founding, the United States has consistently pursued a grand strategy focused on acquiring and maintaining pre-eminent power over various rivals, first on the North American continent, then the Western hemisphere and finally globally…China is and will remain the most significant competitor to the United States for decades to come. China’s rise thus far has already bred geopolitical, military, economic and ideological challenges to US power, US allies and even the US dominated international order. Its continued success in the future would further undermine U S national interests.’

That’s the American mindset. I just want to make clear I find it completely obnoxious, but very accurate, America’s goal is dominance stated clearly. So if another country is rising or powerful or a pure competitor, that’s per se bad. Now, as an economist, this is completely against everything I was trained and I thought about for my entire career, which is that economic well being is not a zero-sum struggle. So if one part of the world is better off, that doesn’t diminish the rest of the world. In fact, the most formative document of economic ideas of the modern world, which will celebrate its 250th anniversary next year, is Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations. Okay, it’s actually a very good book, by the way. It’s got a couple of flaws which we could mention in discussion, but it’s a book of pure genius and humanism also. But his basic idea is that the world helps each other. Different parts of the world trade with each other. This is mutually beneficial.”

Provoked War With Russia

More pure brilliance from our wise statesman, Jeffrey Sachs, on geopolitics and how the EU could end the war against our fellow European neighbour, Russia.

Listen; Jeffrey Sachs: Davos Revelation – US Empire Unhinged & Europe Subordinated Glenn Diesen, 22 January 2026

Jeffrey Sachs; “President Kennedy in 1961, in his inaugural address said, he who would ride on the back of a tiger often comes back inside the tiger. If you think that you’re going to live on the back of a predator, you may be the next meal.” I think the Europeans forgot that for over 30 years. What I meant in saying to the European Parliament, ‘you should understand what the United States is’, I meant that they should understand the United States is an imperial power. It acts brazenly and brutally. For about 20 years, almost no European leader said a word against that predatory behaviour by the United States as the US invaded one country after another, as it overthrew governments, as it played recklessly in Ukraine, the Europeans were quiet. They may even have liked it, as the US was complicit in Israel’s disastrous wars across Africa and the Middle East. As the United States went to war in Iraq, went to war in Libya, overthrew or assigned the CIA to overthrow the government of Syria, played a very deep and destructive role in the overthrow of Ukraine’s president, Viktor Yanukovych, in February 2014. The European leaders just were silent. When the United States bombed Iran last June, the European leaders said, ‘oh, Iran, you should exercise restraint’. They didn’t tell the United States to exercise restraint when the United States kidnapped the President of Venezuela, the European leaders were, fine, ‘he’s a bad guy’. But then when the United States said, ‘we want Greenland’, ‘oh, no, that’s unfair, what about international law? You have to respect things’. The New York Times discovered that America has imperial tendencies. It hadn’t mentioned that for several decades, actually, but now it was talking about a European country in the European territory. So there’s a lot of naiveté and hypocrisy in everything that’s been going on in recent times. To put my position very clearly, I think the United States is thuggish, imperialistic, reckless, and that the US has left a large swath of the world in misery and Europe has been mostly compliant or complicit in a lot of that outside Europe. So I sympathise with the Europeans, of course I do, about Greenland. This is just a grotesque power grab by Trump. But I wish that the Europeans had exercised some awareness, prudence and actual capacity in recent years to tell the United States, don’t behave that way. Also, from a very realist point of view, if I may say so, the Europeans were absurd in their Russophobia. That wasn’t realism, that was self destruction, rather than keeping lines of communication open with Russia they left everything to the United States. So now they find themselves completely boxed in because they have no diplomacy with Russia. They basically have no diplomacy with the United States. They basically have no diplomacy is the reality of Europe right now. But they did that to themselves. I don’t like to say it, but I have to say ‘I told you so’ to them because I’ve been saying this for years to the European leaders. Get your act together. Have diplomatic policy. Understand what the United States is all about. Don’t be so hypocritical. It will come back to haunt you. These are all the basic truths of the last few days.”

Watch; Patrik Baab: War Propaganda Destroyed Media & Freedom of Speech Glenn Diesen, 6 December 2025

‘Patrik Baab is a German journalist and best-selling author who reported on both sides of the frontline in Ukraine. Baab argues that war propaganda has destroyed the credibility of the media and freedom of speech.’

Patrick Baab; “The media in the west today don’t cover reality anymore, we’ve reached the level of anti-factual reporting. And you can see that on the ground in Ukraine, where I was, because many things that I saw and investigated on the ground are not covered in media anymore. For example, there is a kind of apocalyptic blindness. The risk of nuclear warfare in Central Europe is not represented in the media. Another example, the living conditions of the people, the normal, the average people in Ukraine is not covered in Western media at all. The background and the history, the prehistory of this war is not covered by mainstream media. That means this war has a long history and according to the former Secretary General of NATO, Stoltenberg, this war did not begin in February 2022, but this war began in 2014 with the coup on the Maidan. Another example is the moral hazard of the press. The press is writing for the continuation of the war. And there is no representation of the fact that hundreds of thousands of people are dying in this war. And the press misses (fails) to go by its own rules. It’s an important rule in reporting to integrate the opposite side, to hear both sides, and this is something that the press don’t do.

Years ago, the Pentagon had 27,000 employees in duty for public relations, doing propaganda with a yearly budget of $5 billion. These are old numbers and this shows that the propaganda sphere is so massive that you cannot stand up to that as an editor. You don’t have the time and you don’t have the manpower and NATO propaganda is brought to the public by way of cognitive warfare. NATO propagandists don’t want to change the content of thinking, they want to change the way of thinking. This is much more, it is not only information, they are trying to change the way of thinking. That means they want to implement a way of thinking which is driven not by reason but by emotions, Russophobia, resentment and all that.”

Watch; Alastair Crooke: Iran’s Missile Dominance DEVASTATES Trump’s War Plan, Russia in Control Danny Haiphong, 19 January 2026

Alastair Crooke; “Well, I think you, you talked about the Oreshnik (Russian intermediate-range ballistic missile), but it’s important to remember the Oreshnik was a message, a retort to the attempt to strike on the Valdai Presidential Compound where the President has a residence and which underneath the ground houses a control bunker in case of nuclear war. The Russians were really very angry indeed about this. It comes on top of other things like the attack on the strategic bomber fleet, I think that was May or June, I can’t remember the date. And then later during the negotiations, I think it was the ones in Istanbul, four long range ATACMS missiles were fired into deep Russia, long range ATACMS means directed by the United States or the data and the targeting is provided by the United States and those were aimed at Voronezh. Now Voronezh is where Russia has its early warning strategic radar system. Nothing to do with Ukraine at all. I mean it can’t even focus on Ukraine. It is for over the horizon against ICBMs (Land-based, nuclear-armed ballistic missiles) coming from America. None of these, the strategic bomber fleet, this all Valdai, have any sort of direct link. And so I think in Russia the sense has been what sort of message then is America trying to give to Russia at the moment? Are they saying that we’re thinking that if you don’t toe the line with us or don’t comply with us, you’re vulnerable, we could attack your strategic bomber fleet, your early warning radars, your control centre in time of war. Why is this happening? I don’t know anyone has a clear answer, but it certainly should worry the Russians, rightly that this sort of thing is happening. So I think that all of this has made the situation much clearer for the Russians, that there is not a great value in expecting much from Mr. Trump. But nonetheless, precisely because this is a moment of uncertainty and volatility, it’s important to keep lines of communication, keep conversations going. But those conversations must not be seen to be signs of weakness or of readiness to change position because they are matched by an increasing deterrence as well. So I think against that background, one can assume that there’s no real appetite at all or belief in the value of having a strategic discussion about the future of Ukraine, certainly not with the Europeans, but not with America either. At this point, there’s no real strategy, there’s no belief that it will result in an outcome. So the other night, Putin said very clearly, it’s not about territory in Ukraine, he said to these assembled incoming diplomats and he said, listen, this is about the security architecture of Europe and of the West. NATO has to be withdrawn. It has to go back, go out. He didn’t say to where exactly, but he said to it has to be withdrawn so that we have an understanding. And this has to be done legally and by treaty. And after all, you remember, I think it was December 2021, Russia issued documents proposing treaties that would see, if you like, an unravelling of the advance of NATO that happened after 1991 as it moved forward towards the borders of Russia. Strategically, that whole discussion has changed. It’s not just a bit about Donbas here or Zaporizhzhia there or something like this. I think that’s for Russia over. And the discussion now, and this isn’t going to happen tomorrow or anytime soon. But Russia is concentrated in moving towards a serious structural discussion with the west about where are the boundaries of your sphere of NATO interests and where are our boundaries of Central Asia security interests.”

Read; RFK reveals the truth about the war in Ukraine Lady Jane, 21 December 2025

“Gorbachev destroyed himself politically by doing something that was very, very courageous. He went to Bush, he said I’m going to allow you to reunify Germany under a NATO army. I’m going to remove 450,000 Soviet troops. But I want your commitment after that you will not move NATO one inch to the East, and we solemnly swore we wouldn’t do it. Well then in ’97 Brzezinski was the first of the Neo-cons said we’re going to move NATO a thousand miles to the East and take 15 countries into it and surround the Soviet Union. So then we not only move it into 14 new nations, but we unilaterally walk away from our two nuclear weapons treaties with the Russians. And we put Aegis missile systems in Romania and Poland twelve minutes from Moscow. When the Russians did that to Cuba in ’62, we came this close to nuclear war until they removed them. So the Russians don’t want nukes 400 miles from Moscow. We then overthrow the Ukraine government in 2014, their elected government and put in a Western- sympathetic government. Russia then has to go into Crimea because it’s their only warm water port and they know the new government that we just installed is going to invite the US navy into their port. So Russia then went into Crimea without firing a shot as the people of Crimea are Russian. Then the new Ukrainian government we installed started killing ethnic Russians and Donbas and Lukas and they voted to leave and join Russia. Putin said I don’t want them, let’s give them protection and give them semi autonomy and make an agreement to keep NATO out of Ukraine. That treaty was written by Germany, France, Russia and England, the Minsk accords, and the Ukrainian parliament which is controlled by ultra-rightist, that’s a nice way of talking about them, refuse to sign. Zelensky runs in 2019, he’s an actor, why did he get elected with 70% of the vote? Because he promised to sign the Minsk Accords, he promised peace. He gets in there and he pivots. Nobody can explain why, but we know why. He was threatened with death by ultra-rightists in his government and a withdrawal of support by the United States by Victoria Nuland who’s the leading Neo-con in the State Department. We told him he could not sign it. So then the Russians go in, they don’t send a big army, they send 40,000 people, its a nation of 44 million people, they clearly do not intend to conquer Ukraine, but they want us back at the negotiating table. We won’t allow Zelensky to go back so he goes to Israel and Turkey and says will you please help me negotiate a treaty? The Russians just want a guarantee that Ukraine won’t join NATO. Zelensky signs a treaty, Putin’s people sign the treaty, and Putin starts withdrawing the Russian troops in good faith. What happens? Joe Biden sends Boris Johnson, the British Prime Minister, over to Ukraine in April and forces him to tear up the treaty. And since then, 450,000 kids have died, who none of them should have died. For every one Russian that dies, five to eight Ukrainians die, and they don’t have any men left. We’re giving them all these weapons, but they don’t have men left. It’s a catastrophe, and we look kind of like the aggressor. That’s the way the rest of the world sees us.”

Why do we hate Russia?

Read; European Russophobia and Europe’s Rejection of Peace: A Two-Century Failure, Jeffrey Sachs, CIRSD, 22 December 2025

‘Europe has repeatedly rejected peace with Russia at moments when a negotiated settlement was available, and those rejections have proven profoundly self-defeating. From the nineteenth century to the present, Russia’s security concerns have been treated not as legitimate interests to be negotiated within a broader European order, but as moral transgressions to be resisted, contained, or overridden. This pattern has persisted across radically different Russian regimes—Tsarist, Soviet, and post-Soviet—suggesting that the problem lies not primarily in Russian ideology, but in Europe’s enduring refusal to recognize Russia as a legitimate and equal security actor.

My argument is not that Russia has been entirely benign or trustworthy. Rather, it is that Europe has consistently applied double standards in the interpretation of security. Europe treats its own use of force, alliance-building, and imperial or post-imperial influence as normal and legitimate, while construing comparable Russian behavior—especially near Russia’s own borders—as inherently destabilizing and invalid. This asymmetry has narrowed diplomatic space, delegitimized compromise, and made war more likely. Likewise, this self-defeating cycle remains the defining characteristic of European-Russian relations in the twenty-first century.

A recurring failure throughout this history has been Europe’s inability—or refusal—to distinguish between Russian aggression and Russian security-seeking behavior. In multiple periods, actions interpreted in Europe as evidence of inherent Russian expansionism were, from Moscow’s perspective, attempts to reduce vulnerability in an environment perceived as increasingly hostile. Meanwhile, Europe consistently interpreted its own alliance building, military deployments, and institutional expansion as benign and defensive, even when these measures directly reduced Russian strategic depth. This asymmetry lies at the heart of the security dilemma that has repeatedly escalated into conflict: one side’s defense is treated as legitimate, while the other side’s fear is dismissed as paranoia or bad faith.

Western Russophobia should not be understood primarily as emotional hostility toward Russians or Russian culture. Instead, it operates as a structural prejudice embedded in European security thinking: the assumption that Russia is the exception to normal diplomatic rules. While other great powers are presumed to have legitimate security interests that must be balanced and accommodated, Russia’s interests are presumed illegitimate unless proven otherwise. This assumption survives changes in regime, ideology, and leadership. It transforms policy disagreements into moral absolutes and renders compromise as suspect. As a result, Russophobia functions less as a sentiment than as a systemic distortion—one that repeatedly undermines Europe’s own security.’

Listen; Starmer’s actually said we’re on a war footing UK Column News, 11 December 2025

Craig Murray; “I think the parallel with the run up to World War I is very apt where you have out of control arms race and a posturing towards each other, a whole series of events. We’re seeing a 25% increase in UK defence expenditure which is massive and which we can’t afford, struggling to pay for other things in the state and we’re struggling with an over high tax burden. Starmer actually said we are on a war footing. We are harassing Russian ships going through the Straits of Dover. Russian ships have absolutely every right in law to go through the Strait of Dover, they’re doing nothing illegal whatsoever. How would we feel if Iran closed the Straits of Hormuz? Passage through straits is a fundamental part of international maritime law and yet it’s front page of the Daily Mail when, when Russian ships go through the straits and we buzz them illegally with planes. And it’s extraordinary. You’ve got Germany getting people to sign up for conscription, saying that at the moment it’s voluntary but it may become compulsory, you’ve got the European Union, led by nutters frankly, who are absolute war hawks and people like Kallas and von der Leyen and the Finnish Prime Minister and the loonies in charge of NATO at the moment Rutte, they’re all gagging for war and their talk is of war and they use the word war. They say we must prepare for war. Well how about preparing for peace? That seems to me a rather better plan because we can’t afford a major conflict in Europe. I think Russophobia has become the acceptable racism. You can say as bad things as you want about Russian people and that’s okay. That’s the racism which is respectable in our society. And yet Russia is a vital part of European culture. Things like Tolstoy and Chekhov are not incidental to European culture, they’re fundamental building blocks of European culture. And Russia has no plans whatsoever to invade the UK and never has had any plans to invade the UK. And there’s also there’s this extraordinary schizophrenia in the Western position. You get the same people crowing and saying, the Russian army is pathetic and weak and it can’t even take Pokrovsk and at the same time, the same people saying the Russian army is going to roll across Europe and it’s going to take Warsaw, Berlin and Paris. Well, they can’t both be true, but both positions are adopted simultaneously by the war hawks, which again, just makes no sense. All of it is about asserting authoritarian control. They don’t actually want a war. What they want to do is they want to increase defence expenditure because defence expenditure is the most corrupt of all expenditure and is the best way for politicians and civil servants to enrich themselves. That’s why they want to increase their defence expenditure and they want to increase the war rhetoric, because that is what justifies all the new authoritarian legislation that’s coming in, the Online Safety Act, the Public Order Act, digital ID cards, that whole thing of stripping the civil liberties away from a citizen. That’s what it’s actually about, it’s about control of the state by a small, very powerful group of the ultra-wealthy and ensuring there are no democratic outlets of the people to fight back against that. “

Listen; National Security: Fabricated War; UK Column, 19 December 2025

Charles Malet; ” Just this week we had the Secret Intelligence Service and the Ministry of Defence telling us that, forget all the rest, Russia is the problem, we are absolutely in mortal peril from Russia. And that is the message that has been built upon throughout the course of this year with the specific intent of ensuring that we have it firmly fixed in our minds that any problem that occurs from hereafter, and I’m really referring to the possibility of a false flag, absolutely can be pinned on Russia, which puts us into an emergency situation. And from there we will get a response. Now, I would just like to note that I mentioned this on Wednesday that the Russian Embassy in London has put out a message about this. It’s very much aware of what it describes as an anti-Russian information campaign in the United Kingdom. I think it’s just worth noting here. Obviously I don’t have a crystal ball, I can’t see what’s going to happen, but the Russian Embassy does say the British media persist in stoking anti Russian hysteria. I’d say not just the British media painting a picture of an all encompassing threat to the UK allegedly emanating from Russia. Russia has no plans, intentions or reasons for entering into an armed confrontation with the UK. And yet even the Dawn Sturgis report of the last couple of weeks has absolutely been manipulated into that same place. And I think we end up with a question which is, if Russia is so dangerous and so intent on doing us harm, and we are admitting through all these strategic documents that we are not in a place to defend ourselves with any degree of significance, why is it that Russia hasn’t actually made a move? Why is it that we are supposed to believe that Russia is also going to wait until we are ready, until 2027, let’s say, before anything happens, a narrative that is very hard to make sense of.”

Watch; Jeffrey Sachs: An Open Letter to Chancellor Merz – Security Is Indivisible and History Matters Glenn Diesen, 19 December 2025

Jeffrey Sachs; “And then in the same year (2008), Germany participated in the disaster of the Bucharest NATO summit. Very interesting meeting by the way, the one that was the proximate cause of this war. Because in 2008 the United States demanded that the NATO allies announce that NATO will expand to Ukraine and to Georgia. Very interesting. Not only completely contrary to promise, actually completely contrary to what the Ukrainians themselves wanted that year, because there was overwhelming public opposition to NATO membership, because the Ukrainians knew this will get us into trouble. Bush pushed hard. Chancellor Angela Merkel has written in her recent memoirs that she knew that this was a terrible and dangerous decision that could lead to war. But she folded her hand and on the second day of the Bucharest summit went along with the United States with the commitment that NATO would enlarge to Ukraine and to Georgia, putting us on the path to outright war. Then I remind Chancellor Merz that on February 21, 2014, in the context of the Maidan uprising or demonstrations that were stirred and spurred and funded by the United States in many different ways, Germany together with the Poland, together I believe it was with the France, also the three foreign ministers of the European Union negotiated with President Yanukovych of Ukraine that in the context of this instability there would be calm restored, the constitutional government of President Yanukovych would continue and there would be elections late in 2014. All of that was agreed by the German foreign minister and his colleagues on February 21, 2014. Within hours, the so-called protesters, backed by the United States, really hard-right paramilitaries, seized the government buildings in Kiev and installed an extra constitutional government and lied by claiming that Yanukovych had resigned when Yanukovych said absolutely, clearly I am President of Ukraine, I absolutely did not resign. So where was Germany? A few hours after it had brokered an agreement, it went silent. “We support the new government, we support the coup”. No responsibility by Germany at all. When the Donbas region said we don’t go along with the coup, and when the coup regime immediately proposed to crack down on the ethnic Russian population, in many ways, including the use of the Russian language, of course, the war began.”

I find it harrowing that hundreds of thousands have died with the toll mounting every day because of Putin’s historical distortions and his compromised desire for respect.”

Sky News; “The two speeches underline the growing concern inside defence and security circles about the threat posed by Russia and the need for the whole of society to be prepared to respond. Yet defence insiders tell me they’re worried that the only thing really growing in defence is the gap between the strong rhetoric from officials and the reality in the ranks where there are questions about where the money’s coming from to rebuild the armed forces and to rebuild wider national resilience.”

Air Chief Marshall Knighton; “My job is to advise on the risks and the opportunities associated with defence investment. But those trade offs are those for government and for ministers to make, and they’re difficult trade offs.”

George Galloway exposes rampant corruption in Ukraine with billions going into Zelensky’s and his crony’s pockets.

Watch; Shrink-wrapped millions of your money in the boots of Ukrainian Mercedes, George Galloway, 20 November 2025

George Galloway; “The National Bureau of Ukraine, which is now beginning belatedly to smoke out rampant corruption, the theft of hundreds of millions of dollars and euros and pounds, your dollars, euros and pounds, which has disappeared into the pockets of Zelensky and his criminal gang, which, I remind you, has long ago exhausted its democratic mandate. When I was saying these things, well, I was’ issuing Putin talking points’. But now the Financial Times, the Economist, the Spectator, the New York Times, the Washington Post are all saying exactly what I have just said. Well, that makes them kosher, of course, and I just have to shrug off and bear all the insults and fake accusations that I was merely echoing Putin talking points when I told you that Ukraine was the most corrupt country in Europe before all this began. How corrupt do you now think it is that hundreds of billions of pounds, dollars and euros have been poured in without auditing, without accounting, without even knowing if it touched the floor before it went, still shrink-wrapped in the boots of Mercedes and to the offshore resting places where it was intended to go all along? The dark, dark days that lie ahead for the Zelenskyy regime may very well include the prosecution of some of the most important people, maybe including the most important person in Kyiv. Certainly the head of the presidential office appears imminently to be going to be arrested. He has been given by my friend Chase Bose, who knows what’s happening in Ukraine better than almost anybody, he’s given them 72 hours. So if the head of Zelensky’s office is about to be huckled, how much longer can it be before Zelensky himself feels the breath of the Bureau of Investigation? The American insistence, Trump’s insistence, is finally beginning to close down. At least the most egregious examples. In the energy sector, $100 million theft. When we come to the defence sector, well, you can replace the word million with billions. These people have looted your money, and I told you so. And some of you told me that I was merely a mouthpiece for Vladimir Putin. Well, you ain’t seen nothing yet.”

It’s just last week, this event. Just not conventional warfare, conflict now sits in the grey zone. So this echoing the integrated operating concept, this idea that the front line is actually in the barracks now and the public’s the enemy. Now Sedwill, former head of the Civil Service, we’ll come back to him a little bit more later because he’s a crucial player in all of this. But if we can just flash that back up, we can see that he is now, and was immediately, having left the Civil Service, the Chair of Geopolitical Advisory at Rothchild and Co, so this is big business in conflict and an enormous racket for international capital. The event was run by the London Defence Conference, it’s their investment forum held at the Rothschild and Co offices in the City of London last week. You can see here one of their senior analysts, Olivier Brochet, chairing a panel discussing the opportunity for investors throughout the capital stack.”

Brian Gerrish; “Opportunity to invest in death, carnage and death.”

Ben Rubin; “Exactly. So that’s from seed funding all the way through to institutional investment funds, pension funds, the full spectrum of risk appetite across the capital stack, how they can all invest in and potentially make enormous amounts of money from conflict ultimately, that’s what this is all about. We had various other representatives of the British Civil Service, this chap, Angus Lapsley, the UK permanent representative to NATO, been buried in Whitehall for 40 years and then gets put into this plum job at NATO, and he’s there saying, the defence sector in Europe is going to be bigger, change faster and require more investment for a generation, an entire generation of investment regardless of when and how Russia’s war against Ukraine ends. Obviously, he has to present this as Russia’s war against Ukraine. And then he goes on, not shown on the screen here, but the quote continues to say, there will not be a neat distinction between defence investment and wider needs alongside the traditional defence primes, we will need growth, innovation and planning for resilience from a whole range of sectors, including tech, telecommunications, transport, energy, civilian space and health. So the entire economic system and the whole of society is being placed on a war footing by these fellows, these men sitting around conference rooms in the City of London, who most people have never heard of, are certainly unelected and are deeply conflicted, I would say, in terms of their interests.”

Beware the enemy’s manufacturing of doubts, ambiguities.

It is based on an important calculation, they want to weaken the inside of the country. They saw that in the 12-Day War the nation’s unity was miracle-making. They want to break this unity.

Mohammed Marandi; “With the 1953 coup complete, the United States now had its man in Tehran. For the next quarter century, the US and the Shah were locked in a strategic embrace, transforming Iran into a critical Cold War asset. The relationship was transactional. In exchange for submission, the Shah received large amounts of US military aid, making Iran the region’s most powerful force. In return, he acted as Washington’s ‘policeman’ in the Persian Gulf and a bulwark against Soviet expansion. Repression was the regime’s foundation. The Shah relied on Sabak, a feared secret police force trained by the CIA and Mossad to crush all dissent through torture, imprisonment and disappearances. For Washington, it was a golden alliance. Stability, oil access and a reliable proxy, but on the streets, the tools of control, the secret police, imposed westernisation and the reality of being a client state were forging a deep smouldering resentment. That resentment turned to outrage in 1964 with the capitulations law imposed by the US. It granted all American government employees as well as military personnel and their families in Iran, full legal immunity, a surrender of judicial sovereignty that was seen as the ultimate national humiliation. The backlash was immediate. Imam Khomeini made fiery sermons against the agreement and was subsequently arrested and exiled. US State Department analysts warned that his views were ‘symptomatic of widespread popular opposition’ and that this new anti-American sentiment made Washington’s task far more difficult. American money, guns and political support kept the Shah in power. His absolute power guaranteed American access to oil and a strategic foothold each cycle of support. Each new weapons deal that imposed thousands of well paid US advisors with it, each endorsement of his repression further inflamed the public resentment. The relationship was thus built on a fundamental contradiction of empire. Washington imposed top down social and economic reforms to create an obedient, modern and stable client regime, while simultaneously fueling the Shah’s insatiable appetite for expensive American weaponry.”

Professor Marandi explains why Iran did not intervene in the west-backed overthrow of Bashar al- Assad.

Watch; Why didn’t Iran launch a large-scale intervention in Syria in 2024? Professor Marandi Al Mayadeen English, 11 January 2026

Professor Marandi; “A question arises why did Iran not launch a large scale military intervention to save Assad in 2024? The answer lies in the principles that guided Iran’s involvement from the start. Contrary to the Western narrative of expansionist occupation, Iran’s mission was never to fight Syria’s war for it, its intervention was strictly conditional upon a formal sovereign request from the recognised state, the demonstrable will of the local army and population to resist. In late 2024, according to Iranian officials, neither condition was met. The Syrian government issued no formal plea for an intervention and critical sections of the state and society displayed no will for a conclusive defence without this essential local anchor. Iran therefore deemed any large scale intervention not only futile but potentially detrimental. For years, Iranian intelligence had warned Damascus of emerging threats, providing alerts on the movement and consolidation of extremist factions. Following the territorial defeat of Daesh, Iran had already drawn down its major combat forces. Damascus, for its own reasons, including a naive desire for rapprochement with the US, had little incentive to reverse that trend. A rapid, decisive reinforcement was therefore impossible. Iran lacked the on the ground structure and critically a reliable local partner to receive and sustain it. This underscores a strategic consistency. Iran provided intelligence and advisors to defend the state against US- backed Takfiri forces. But it would not become an army of occupation to save a leader whose own pillars of support had crumbled. The survival of Bashar al-Assad personally was never Iran’s immutable doctrine.”

‘In a historic move of regional sovereignty, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait and Qatar made it clear that their airspace and their air bases, the very infrastructure required for such a campaign, were closed for business.’

Watch; War with Iran? Palestine Declassified, 24 January 2026

Press TV Presenter; “For the past month, the world watched as the shadow of a new war loomed over the Persian Gulf. The rhetoric from Washington was absolute. The intent to strike Iran seemed unshakable. Yet, as we stand here today, the bombers have been recalled and the fire and fury has been shelved. For 72 frantic hours, leaders from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman performed a delicate high-wire act to convince President Trump that a strike on Iran would not be a quick win, but a catastrophic loss for the global economy and his own domestic agenda. They warned him that a war would not just rattle oil prices, it would shatter them, sending a shockwave through the American economy that would overshadow any supposed tactical victory. They reminded him that the 30,000 American troops stationed in their lands were not shielded from the blowback. They were the frontline targets of an inevitable retaliation. But their most powerful move was the silent one, the denial of access. In a historic move of regional sovereignty, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait and Qatar made it clear that their airspace and their air bases, the very infrastructure required for such a campaign, were closed for business. They signalled that an American war in the Gulf would have to be fought without the Gulf. Many will credit the prevention of war to diplomatic phone calls or economic warnings from Gulf allies. But the true reason for this restraint is far more sobering. The missiles stay silent because Washington finally acknowledged a truth that has been written in the scars of its closest ally, the memory of the 12-Day War. In June 2025, US allies watched in horror as the myth of Israeli invincibility was shattered. We saw the limits of the most advanced air defences on Earth when faced with thousands of drones and hypersonic missiles. It was this memory, the Israel precedent, that stayed President Trump’s hand this month. The President likes to speak of strength, but even he recognises the difference between a show of force and a suicide pact. The 12-day war taught the world that Iran is no longer a nation that can be bombed with impunity. It’s a regional power with the capacity to reach out and touch every American base, every oil refinery and every allied city within thousands of miles. The zionists failed to get Trump to fight their war with Iran this month for one reason and one reason only, the ghost of the 12-Day War.”

Chris Williamson; “Well, David, what kind of warning do you think the 12 day war provided then?”

David Miller; “Well, look, the 12-day war was a victory for Iran at a macro level, but Iran did suffer significant damage, the large numbers of senior brass in the IRGC who were killed, assassinated, and of course, the air defences, which now appears have been replaced. So, yes, it was the zionists who sued for peace through the Americans. The Americans put pressure on Iran to stop after 12 days. I think, in retrospect, possibly a mistake, but actually, I don’t think that we are out of the woods of a war just yet. We know that what’s happening is that the Lincoln battle group is moving from the South China Sea towards the Persian Gulf, we know that many American planes have moved from Diego Garcia and from the UK and from Germany to bases in Jordan who will allow their use, unlike the Saudis, as we heard in the film. So I think what we’re seeing is the possibility that the Trump administration are saying; “we couldn’t win a short, sharp victory’, several days ago. But it looks like they’re lining up for the possibility of a significant attack on Iran, and the Iranian government will be aware that that’s what’s going on and that some of the messaging coming out of both Tel Aviv and Washington is an elaborate feint, possibly.

The Lincoln Battle group is the aircraft carrier plus six other ships. There are hundreds of aircraft on board, all sorts of defence capabilities and missiles as well, something like 5,000 US personnel, and that could cause really very significant damage in Iran. But let’s also remember that this is a very large metal ship which cannot move at a very fast rate of knots. We saw when the Americans last threatened Ansar Allah in Yemen and they sent three separate aircraft carriers in to do battle, all of which subsequently limped back home. Ansar Allah said that they hit all three of them. The Americans claim that they hadn’t done that, they’d simply come to the end of their deployment. I think it’s unlikely that that is the full story. So I think what we see is that in the new era of missile warfare, of drone warfare, of the mass launching of drones, that something like an aircraft carrier which previously projected American imperial power, now is little more than a floating metal target.”

Yes, it’s all going according to Israel’s long-time plan to destroy Iran. Prof. David Miller explains how ‘this is a Mossad inspired, directed and orchestrated uprising to destroy Iran.’

Watch; Manufacturing Consent for Regime Change in Iran; The World Today, 14 January 2026

David Miller; “Mossad have been saying openly on Israeli media that they’re there and that what they’re saying is that when the regime, as they call it, falls, they will do exactly the same to Iran as they did to Syria, which is to take out all of their military defensive capability. So that’s what the Mossad are planning. They’ve got people on the ground in Iran, as we have seen, from various different groups. They’ve also recruited a whole host of Afghan refugees who are the cheapest ones to recruit inside Iran, so it’s said. So this is a Mossad inspired, directed, orchestrated, in quotes, ‘uprising’, which of course is where all sorts of propaganda is being circulated; ‘There is a million and a half people on the streets’. ‘It’s not protests, it’s revolution’. Well, we know now that that is a fantasy, that at best, they had 12,000 people on the streets a few days ago, that was the high point. And the protests have more or less entirely finished. Now when I say the protests are finished, I mean the anti-government protests orchestrated by the Mossad. The protests in Iran haven’t finished because of course we’ve seen several one-million man and woman marches in Tehran and indeed in Isfahan, in Mashad and in other places inside Iran, all of which are there supporting the government and opposing US and Israeli interventions in their country, so that’s the situation we see. Of course, the propaganda about the 20,000 deaths, well, at maximum, if you have 12,000 people in one day out demonstrating, it’s difficult to imagine how 20,000 deaths could have come from that. Although we’ve seen pictures of body bags, the reality is that two thirds roughly of those bodies of dead people have been caused by the Mossad assets, including of course, a three year old girl, an eight year old girl, nurses and teachers and other civilians who have been killed by these anti-government protesters. And then of course, let’s remember, imagine this happened in the UK or in Australia. Significant numbers of local police and volunteer People’s Defence forces have been killed. There have been attacks on mosques, 35 mosques have been burnt to the ground, they’ve been attacking ancient libraries. These are not the activities of civil rights protesters, these are the activities of foreign intervention attempting to destroy the country. There is no way in which actual Iranians would be burning mosques. It’s simply impossible that that would be the case. So what we see is an orchestrated attempt to destroy the country. And it’s an attempt which has now, it seems, come to an end. Donald Trump is doing a whole variety of things, and it turns out when you look at these things, that they have a connection, all of them, to the zionist entity, to Israel. We saw that in Venezuela with the zionist oligarch Paul Singer making billions of dollars from the oil contracts which he was given shortly before they kidnapped Maduro. We see that in Greenland, where there are zionist oligarchs attempting to pressure the Greenlandic government by investing in Greenland. We see that the zionists have it as their top priority to remove the government of Iran, because the government of Iran, let’s be clear, is the main threat that there is to the genocide in Gaza. It’s the main country which is willing and able, and has been willing and able for 47 years to take on the zionists, not just diplomatically, but actually militarily. And that’s the top priority for Israel, is to destroy Iran. And when Trump talks about acting against Iran, he’s simply doing the bidding of Netanyahu and the genociders in Tel Aviv.”

Listen; Prof. Jeffrey Sachs : Using the Economy as a Weapon — Trump and Iran, Judging Freedom, 27 January 2026

Judge Napolitano; “Here is Treasury Secretary Bessent shamelessly boasting about causing economic chaos in Iran. Watch this.”

Reporter; “What do you want to say about sanctions? What are you planning there in terms of Iran and the impact there? Do sanctions actually work? And the same question with regard to 500% secondary sanctions or tariffs on countries who purchase energy products from Russia?”

Scott Bessent, US Treasury Secretary; ” Okay, so two things there. There are treasury sanctions and if you look at a speech that I gave at the Economic Club of New York last March, I said that I believe the Iranian currency was on the verge of collapse, that if I were an Iranian citizen, I would take my money out. President Trump ordered Treasury and our OFAC division, Office of Foreign Asset Control, to put maximum pressure on Iran, and it’s worked, because in December their economy collapsed. We saw a major bank go under, the central bank has started to print money. There is a dollar shortage. They are not able to get imports. And this is why the people took to the street. So this is economic statecaft. No shots fired. And things are moving in a very positive way here.”

Judge Napolitano; “Here he is shamelessly and as you say, unambiguously admitting the misery that he caused.”

Jeffrey Sachs; “This is really important. It’s very important for people to understand what they’ve just seen. I really appeal to New York Times reporters who write incorrectly or dishonestly every single day, to Washington Post reporters, to Wall street Journal reporters, to MSNBC, to others reporting to look at what Mr. Bessent explained. The United States used economic warfare to create chaos in Iran. He explained it clearly. It started a speech where he said, ‘I think the Iranian currency will fall’. That is the first step of trying to get people to flee from the currency, to create a self-fulfilling collapse or panic. Then he explained that the Treasury and its office OFAC, which enforces these sanctions, put sanctions on institutions around the world to stop doing any kind of business with Iran, absolutely normal, legal business, the idea was that Iran would not be able to export its products, not to be able to engage in international trade. This is warfare. Secretary Bessent said that this worked. It worked brilliantly he said . By the end of the year, banks had collapsed, the currency had collapsed, and therefore people came out onto the streets. Not one of our mainstream media accurately reported any of this. They all reported the official propaganda of the US government, that people came out on the streets to protest the mismanagement of the Iranian regime. This is simply a game. Of course it’s a game where you need to know something, and our reporters are generally either ignorant because they’re not paying attention, they don’t do homework, or they’re guided by their editors who are in cahoots with the CIA, with the Treasury Department, with the White House, because that’s how they get their stories and their sources. And so the most basic fact of what happened in Iran in recent weeks was that the United States used economic warfare to destroy the Iranian economy, and it continues to do so. And Mr. Bessent said it’s all going in a positive direction, then he had that fleeting little smirk on his face. The goal is regime change.”

Judge Napolitano; ” Has Scott Bessent done this before in his private life? Before he was Secretary of the Treasury?”

Jeffrey Sachs; “That’s why he is there. He’s not an expert on fiscal policy or the well being of the American people. He knows nothing about that. He knows nothing about the budget, about macroeconomic policy. But he has a track record of having brought down a major currency when he worked for George Soros in 1992. Because Bessent was part of the key team in London that shorted the British pound and brought down the pound in 1992. And he spent much of the next 20 years working for Soros. He’s a hedge fund operator that can understand how to put on a squeeze financially. He is not what one would consider an economic policymaker other than what he called statecraft. I’ve never heard the term applied this way, he meant warfare, but he said this is economic statecraft, not a shot fired, very proud of himself.”

Judge Napolitano; “So what happens when one country, I’m going to use Keynes verb, in a famous phrase that he articulated, which you have quoted from time to time, debauches the currency of another country?”

Jeffrey Sachs; “What Keynes, the great British political economist of the 20th century, probably the greatest political economist of the last century, wrote in 1919, was that to debauch the currency, meaning to have a currency collapse, destroys the existing basis of society. When the currency collapses, the order in society falls apart. People are desperate, and he said that a collapse of the currency aligns all of the forces of the economy on the side of destruction, but does so in a way that not one person in a million can understand. That’s what he wrote in 1919 in Economic Consequences of the Peace. And what’s happening in Iran is the deliberate collapse of the currency, the deliberate creation of mass poverty, unemployment and unrest in Iran for the purpose of attempting a regime change. And maybe it’s true that not one in a million New York Times reporters can understand it, or mainstream media reporters, but now at least they have Mr. Bessent to listen to. And maybe they should reflect on that to try to understand their job better of reporting what’s really happening. The United States is engaged in war. War is illegal under our Constitution unless declared by the US Congress, and it’s illegal under international law, the UN Charter, Article 2, Section 4, which is treaty law of the United States since the UN charter was ratified in July 1945. And all of that is Mr. Stephen Miller should understand, maybe he does but the fact of the matter is he’s trying to run an illegal operation, encouraging his boss to do so, whereas we, the American people, want a constitutional republic, not one person rule.”

‘Max Blumenthal joins Matt Gaetz to chart how Trump’s obvious cognitive decline intersects with a foreign-policy apparatus marching toward a disastrous war on Iran. He dissects Treasury-engineered currency collapse and IMF-style “reform” as weapons against Iran’s middle class, links sanctions to orchestrated street violence and Mossad/MI6 hybrid war tactics, and shows how neocon officials openly fantasise about decapitation strikes and regime change that even they admit bombing can’t deliver. Along the way, Max skewers Trump’s Davos performance, NATO’s hypocrisy, and a US political class using economic siege, proxy terror and carrier groups to do what Congress and the public would never openly authorise.’

“What is happening in Iran is straight out of the US-Israeli regime change playbook”, John Mearsheimer, political scientist and international relations scholar, Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago.

Watch; “What is happening in Iran is straight out of the US-Israeli regime change playbook” Thomas Fazi, 15 January 2026

‘Five-minute masterclass by John Mearsheimer on the attempted — and so far failed — US-Israeli overthrow of the Iranian regime.’

John Mearsheimer; “This is a classic case of regime change perpetrated mainly by the United States and Israel, that’s what’s going on here in Iran. When the protests first broke out and we listened to the Western media spin, the story that you get is basically you have a large number of people inside of Iran who are deeply, profoundly dissatisfied with the regime, and the regime has been mismanaging the country and they have decided that the time has come not simply to protest, but to overthrow the regime. And this makes eminently good sense from a Western point of view, because who could like a regime of the sort that we see in Iran? So this is the story that you get in the West, but it’s now become manifestly clear that this story is inaccurate and what is going on in Iran is right from the US-Israeli playbook on how to produce regime change. Now, what exactly am I saying here? We have basically a four-part strategy and using the US military is the fourth part of the strategy. But let me just quickly walk you through the first three elements of the strategy. The first element is that we put sanctions on a country and we wreck that country’s economy and we do all sorts of things to make the body populace in that country profoundly unhappy because they’re suffering enormous costs. We’re punishing them with these sanctions. This is what we did in Venezuela, this is what we did in Iran. So you want to remember when these people are protesting, they’re protesting because of the terrible economic conditions. But who played the principal role in creating those terrible economic conditions? It is the United States of America. So that’s the first step. Then the second step is we decide at some point that we’re going to foment massive protests and we’re going to fuel those massive protests, and this is what happened in Iran in late December of last year, December 2025, and there’s all sorts of evidence. Now, there’s a very famous piece that came out in the Jerusalem Post on December 29 that makes it clear that Mossad was deeply involved in what has been happening in Iran. Furthermore, there are comments by President Trump and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that make it clear that the United States has been involved from the get go in terms of fueling this crisis. I would also note to you that when the Iranians turned off the Internet and they shut down phone services, what the protesters then were using were Starlink terminals. And it turns out they had 40,000 Starlink terminals. Who do you think gave them those Starlink terminals? We know the answer to that (the U.S. and Mossad-captured Musk). So the second step is to foment and fuel protests, which eventually turn into a revolution and regime change. The third step in the process is to foment a massive disinformation campaign that’s to convince everybody in the West that these protests are generated internally, that the United States and Israel have nothing to do with it, and that the protesters are noble patriots and that we have every incentive to back them. And furthermore, this disinformation campaign sends the message inside of Iran that the regime is finished, the protesters are on a roll. There’s no way the regime can shut this down. This time is different. So what we’re trying to do is generate momentum with this disinformation campaign inside of Iran. Then the fourth step in the process is the United States military, and probably the Israeli military as well, come in once the protests have reached a certain point, and we attack all sorts of critical infrastructure, all sorts of elites inside of Iran, and we deliver the coup de grace. We finish off the regime. This is the basic playbook, You see it at play in Venezuela, it’s regime change of the sort we’ve seen many times before. Now, one final point…it’s failed.”

Russia to Iran’s rescue

Read; Russia has reportedly delivered Starlink jamming systems to Iran via military transport aircraft Peter Bjornsen, 15 January 2026

‘According to the narrative, Russian intelligence agencies detected in advance a plan to ignite large-scale and violent unrest inside Iran. The alleged objective of Mossad and the CIA was to shock and destabilise the Iranian government, then create conditions for major US and Israeli military intervention and aerial bombardment. In response, the Iranian government imposed a near-total shutdown of internet and communication networks. At the same time, using the jamming systems supplied by Russia, Iran reportedly disabled the Starlink network as well. Starlink receivers had allegedly been smuggled into Iran covertly over many years.Once the internet blackout took effect, on-the-ground communication with Israel was effectively severed. As a result, Mossad’s operational networks reportedly began to collapse. Active Starlink receivers are relatively easy to detect—like illuminated bulbs in complete darkness. Under these conditions, Iranian authorities were reportedly able to identify Mossad agents one by one. As previously stated, Starlink is considered one of the most powerful tools in the hands of the United States and Israel. Through satellite internet, it enables the organisation of communications deep inside distant countries—and even allows drones to be operated remotely, theoretically from a basement in Washington.

Ukraine is often cited as a key example, as much of its military and strategic communications currently rely heavily on Starlink.’

Syria

Read; Leaked: MI6 Infiltrated ISIS Refugee Camps by Kit Klarenberg, 25 January 2026

‘Since January 13th, the newly-reconstituted Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has torn across North East Syria. It marks a brutal end to an autonomous region – typically referred to as Rojava – effectively governed by the US-backed, Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) for over a decade. While a Washington-brokered ceasefire agreement provides for the SDF’s integration into Damascus’ Western-appointed government, the de facto HTS (Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, the group led by Ahmed Al Sharaa that toppled Syria’s Assad regime in December 2024, leading the UK and US to remove it from terrorist lists)-controlled SAA shows every sign of seeking to permanently erase and neutralise all traces of Rojava.

Civilians and SDF fighters have been slaughtered since the region’s takeover. The SAA has been assisted in its massacres by the freed inmates of local detention centres, among them a profusion of ‘former’ ISIS butchers. These facilities were created in 2019 to accommodate the population of territory once claimed by Islamic State, and today house tens of thousands of people. Markedly, government forces specifically targeted the prisons when their assault on Rojava commenced, strongly suggesting igniting mass jailbreaks locally was a deliberate objective.

Rojava’s ISIS refugee camps posed a complex and seemingly irresolvable problem for the autonomous territory. Inhabitants could only be repatriated with the consent of their home country’s government, which in many cases refused. The Al-Hol camp proved particularly problematic. Housing exclusively women and children, detainees were overwhelmingly the wives and sons and daughters of Islamic State fighters. The former often never renounced their commitment to Daesh, while the latter are stateless.’

Trump Governs Without Values | Aaron Maté

This day, this is the president, the new president, the Larry Ellison installed president of TikTok.

We made a change to designate the use of the term Zionist as a proxy for a protected attribute as hate speech. So if somebody were to use Zionist, of course you can. You can use it in the.

In the sense of you’re a proud Zionist, but if you’re using it in the context of degrading somebody, calling somebody a Zionist as a dirty name, then that gets designated as hate speech to be moderated against. Over the course of 2024, we tripled the amount of accounts that we were banning for hateful activity. We also have, I think, over two dozen Jewish organisations that are constantly feeding us intelligence and information when they spot violative trends. There is no finish line. There’s no finish line to moderating hate speech, identifying hateful trends, trying to keep the platform safe.

There’s no such thing as an end game.

Is the new TikTok now a Jewish organization?

It’s a Zionist organization, absolutely. You know, being Jewish myself, I just can’t let people like that claim the claim or ethnicity, even though I’m not particularly religious. But it certainly…

I intentionally use the word Jewish rather than Zionist to mimic what he said.

We all know exactly what he’s talking about.

Yeah, well, it certainly is Zionist organization, and it’s more proof that Zionists ruin everything. They ruined Palestine by stealing it and ethnically cleansing it and committing genocide to preserve their ethno supremacy. They’ve ruined the Jewish faith by adopting it and claiming to speak in the name of the Jewish people. And now they’ve ruined TikTok, and that’s why people are leaving TikTok.

And this is why they stole TikTok. This is why they forced its sale, is because as people like Anthony Blinken explained, too many young people were seeing images of the carnage in Gaza that their tax dollars were supporting, and they were outraged about it. And so the response from the Zionists who run our society was to basically steal TikTok and now ban free speech, ban Zionism unless it’s used in a positive term, which is just, you could read that and it sounds like that could be said in 1984. It’s so Orwellian, but yet this is the new regime that we live under. And they’re openly bragging about it.

And then he talks about being fed intelligence by Zionist organizations. Groups that are supposed to represent the Jewish people, which is a religious ethnic group, now involved in spying on their fellow citizens to snitch on people who are critical of Israel. And this is why they’ve also ruined CBS News, because the same people who now control TikTok now also control CBS News, and you continue to see the consequences there of just, you know, where even recently One of their former staffers or stringers was a Palestinian cameraman in Gaza. He was killed by the Israeli military. And CBS News threw him under the bus by basically reporting the Israeli claims that he was part of a Hamas operation, when in fact he was covering a humanitarian operation.

The CBS News covered that as fact. So even under Zionism, if Israel kills you and Israel smears you, Even your own employer will throw you under the bus at places like CBS News.

Yeah, but what kind of a business model is this?

A recent interview with Francesca Albanese, the mother of our conscience and the voice of humanity in the darkness of the Israeli state’s hatred, violence and lies.

Read; ‘Impunity won’t last forever’: What gives Francesca Albanese hope by Samah Salaime, 21 January 2026

‘Now in her second term in the role of Special Rapporteur, Albanese has been one of the most outspoken critics of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and its longstanding regime of occupation and apartheid — for which she has been barred from entering Israel and, last summer, hit with sanctions by the Trump administration. Yet she refuses to stop advocating and campaigning for justice. In an interview with +972 Magazine after her visit to London, she discusses the current crisis of international law, why October 7 and the Gaza genocide must be a point of no return, and why Israel’s impunity will not last forever.’

The interview has been edited for length and clarity.

Francesca Albanese; “As an international lawyer, the answer to this for me is straightforward, because it’s very clear what is to be done and the question can be resolved in line with international law. Israel’s presence in the occupied Palestinian territories has been declared unlawful by the International Court of Justice, therefore Israel must withdraw its troops from the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip. I know this may sound like fantasy to many Israelis, but this is what has to be done, because it’s impossible to imagine that Israel will [be allowed to] continue to rule militarily over the little that remains of Palestine.

I know this is not everything for the Palestinians, but it’s a start; it might be a step toward something else. Many people call for one democratic state, others for two states. One way or another, what the ICJ declared in July 2024 is that the occupation is unlawful and it must be dismantled totally and unconditionally, which means withdrawing troops, dismantling settlements, compensating the Palestinians, and allowing the refugees displaced in 1967 to return.”

Samah Salaime; “Do you see that as realistic? Can the international community actually make that happen?”

Francesca Albanese; “It is certainly what international law prescribes, in the interpretation of the highest judicial body in the world. There are peaceful, non-violent means to do this, and there is also recourse to coercive measures when a country poses such a threat to peace and security as Israel does today — and not just to Palestine, to the entire region. It is bombing country after country, sustained by the impunity of states whose leaders belong to the past century and still think with a colonial mentality.“

We showed them around and then they came to sit in my office and started to talk and then they revealed who they had actually were. Now, having been born and raised in Palestine, I know about Betar. People in this country don’t necessarily understand just how vile they are, just how violent they are and how dangerous they actually are as an organisation. They established themselves in the United States in 2024, so they’re rather new, but on their website they say we are loud, proud, aggressive and unapologetically zionist. They pride themselves in the fact that they disrupt events, violently disrupt events. Many times they say that they have been working with the FBI to arrest and even deport pro-justice activists, pro-Palestine activists. And this organisation is so extreme and so vile, their ideology is so horrifying that even the ADL, the Anti Defamation League, which is a radical, pro-genocide, pro-apartheid zionist organisation, called Betar extremists and distance themselves from Betar.”

Jeffrey Sachs; “If you ask me, am I really sure why Netanyahu, who is an absolutely disgusting warmonger who has dragged us into terrible wars, who is committing massive war crimes, why he gets 57 standing ovations in the US Congress? If you ask me, in my heart, do I really understand that? Is it the AIPAC lobby, the Israel lobby? Well, partly. Is it blackmail by Israel? Because there’s no doubt a lot of credible claims of Epstein and more about blackmail. Is it that? Is it direct bribes? Is it fear of American politicians? Is it the mainstream media, which for a lot of reasons owned by a lot of billionaires that tend to be rather ardent zionists? Is it the large Christian zionist vote base, which is also a real thing, to tell you the truth, none of it really adds up because this is not in America’s interest.”

Read or Listen; Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ is the nail in Gaza’s coffin by Jonathan Cook, 23 January 2026

‘Feckless European leaders like Starmer let Israel and the US tear up international law in Gaza. Now, faced with Greenland and Ukraine, they are suffering from a severe case of buyer’s regret.’

‘US President Donald Trump has declared the three-month “ceasefire” in Gaza a great success, and now wants to move on to phase two of his so-called “peace plan” What does success look like? Israeli soldiers have killed more than 460 Palestinians since October, including at least 100 children. Israel has levelled another 2,500 buildings, the last of the few that were still standing. And amid a continuing humanitarian catastrophe engineered by Israel through its blockade of food, water, medicines and shelter, at least eight babies are known to have frozen to death as winter temperatures plummet. Marking the transition to the new phase, Trump announced last Friday a “Board of Peace” to determine the enclave’s future. “Peace” here is being used in exactly the same Orwellian sense as “ceasefire”. This is not about ending Gaza’s suffering. It is about creating Big Brother-style narrative control, selling as “peace” the final eradication of Palestinian life in Gaza. The narrative spin is that, once Hamas is disarmed, the board will take on the job of Gaza’s reconstruction. The implicit assumption is that life will gradually return to normal for the survivors of the two-year genocide Israel has carried out – though no western leader is acknowledging it as a genocide, or cares to find out how many Palestinians have actually been killed in the onslaught. But, as we shall see, peace is definitely not what the board is aiming to achieve. This is a cynical exercise in smoke and mirrors. The term “board” hints not only at Trump’s preference for the language of business over politics. It alludes too to the business opportunities he intends to make from Gaza’s “transformation”. His plan is to strip the United Nations – and thereby the international community – of any oversight of Gaza’s fate. We are back to the time of viceroys. Colonialism is again out and proud.

Lab rats

Trump’s “Board of Peace” has much grander ambitions than simply managing Gaza’s takeover. In fact, the enclave and its future is not even mentioned in the board’s so-called “charter” sent out to national capitals. In a leaked invitation to the president of Argentina, Trump referred to the board as a “bold new approach to resolving global conflicts”. The charter says it will be “results-orientated” and have the “the courage to depart from approaches and institutions that have too often failed”. Some of us have long warned that Israel and the US view the Palestinians as lab rats, both for testing weapons and surveillance technologies and for changing the norms developed after the Second World War to safeguard against the return of fascist, militaristic and expansionist ideologies. The critical legal and humanitarian architecture put in place in the post-war era included the UN and its various institutions, including the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Criminal Court (ICC). Israel and the US stress-tested this system to destruction from the very start of the two-year genocide in Gaza, as Israel carpet-bombed the enclave’s homes, schools, hospitals, government buildings and bakeries. Trump’s second presidency has pushed this agenda into overdrive.’

Norman Finkelstein talks about the flawed Israeli Project

Watch; Norman Finkelstein talks about being Jewish, Double Down News, 12 December 2025

Norman Finkelstein; “When 40% of American Jews say they think Israel is committing genocide, it’s kind of an acknowledgement that Israel is not Jewish. There is a large number of Jews outside Israel who give Israel blind support, not because they give a darn about zionism. I doubt they’ve ever read a book on the subject. It wasn’t zionism. It’s this belief that Jews are better, Jews are superior and all life, not just Arab life, all life is lesser than Jewish life. And that Jews can do no wrong. They can’t do any wrong because the whole world resents them for one simple reason. They’re envious of us. All the non-Jews envy us because we’re so smart and we’re so successful and we’re so clever. That’s a very deeply entrenched belief among Jews, overwhelmingly. It started with the spectacular secular success of Jews in the Western world, and then with the accumulation of wealth, power, organisation. It’s a very hard, speaking personally, it’s a very hard thing to resist because there does seem to be evidence of it. There’s all these debates about whether Jews have a higher IQ or they say Ashkenazi Jews have a higher IQ than any other ethnic or racial group. Whether it’s true or not, I haven’t a clue, it’s genetics, what do I know about genetics? But then again, what do most Jews know about genetics? They don’t really know. They know their success, they know their success and it does breed a feeling of Jewish supremacy. I have to be careful about that, not because I in any way recoil from the truth, but because you can end up with this conspiratorial view of the world where the Jews control everything, and because one wants to be factually accurate and also one doesn’t want to fuel certain stereotypes, you have to be careful. That doesn’t mean you run away from the facts, but you have to be careful. Jews are the wealthiest ethnic group in the United States, which is a significant fact. Obviously, money is power. Secondly, and it’s not trivial, Jews are very well organised. They always had a tradition of forming communal organisations, that’s always been very essential to the Jewish communit, so there is the organisation, there is the money. And then there was, for a long time after World War II, there was, and I don’t want to say this in a kind of heartless way, but there was a certain immunity that was granted Jews because of the Nazi Holocaust, and so it was very difficult to criticise Jews on any account because of looming over every question was the Holocaust. So you have concentrated wealth of a significant degree, you have organisation of a significant degree and then you have the immunity to any criticism. Well, you put those three together, it’s a lethal brew. It’s a lethal brew. It’s a problem. Oh, I should say there was a fourth aspect. The fourth aspect, again, we have to be careful about language. The fourth aspect is Jews were spectacularly successful in the 20th century. Every Jew will tell you, I grew up in that milieu, the great avatars of modernity. Freud Jewish, Marx Jewish, Einstein Jewish. Every Jew knows that, and then Jews represent about 0.0000001% of the world’s population. Twenty percent of the Nobel laureates are Jewish. That can’t but go to your head, it’s very intoxicating.”

Watch; Insider EXPOSES Israel’s Capture Of British Politics Novara Media, 4 January 2026

Peter Oborne; “Its a weird world out there and it exists in Westminster, but across both main parties you can’t mention the term genocide, you can’t mention the term apartheid, even though every major human rights organisation in the world says basically that Israel is not only committing apartheid, but it’s committing genocide. But that is not acceptable in political discourse.”

Aaron Bastani; “Towards the start of the book you broach this hugely emotional issue of children that died on October 7th and you’re very clear about some of the horrors that happen. And again you go into really forensic detail and things were so bad it reminds you that nobody needed to make anything up, but one of the things that was made up was this claim about 40 children being beheaded and mutilated by Hamas. You talk about, and of course two children dying is too many, you talk about one child being shot while they’re in a safe room and…there was a pregnant woman and she went into labour and that that child tragically died. Both horrific, but of course that’s not 40 children being put in ovens and being beheaded and all kinds of things. Where did those claims come from? And, and how come the media, and you detail the various outlets and how quickly they repeated that, how come the media from the Express, the Mail to the Telegraph, how come they were so happy to repeat all of that without a shred of evidence?”

Peter Oborne; “Immediately after 7th of October the British journalists are sent to Israel and they want to go to the crime scene, the atrocity scenes and that’s their job. And I mean in their defence, you’re a reporter, and there’s an organisation called Zaka which looks after sort of dead bodies generally and they start to brief a lot of these horrifying stories. Do you check them? I mean of course they should have checked them, but you’re working to a deadline, you’ve got the story which is going to be the splash, your news desk, would be outraged if you sort of went off and made too manychecks. I’m not going to name them, but very respectable journalists who I admire did this and I’ve written to some of them and they admit they got it wrong and they just said we’re working under pressure, we don’t have the benefit of hindsight is that basic answer. Some of those stories are still up there. But you need to remember though that this was atrocity propaganda. It was then used by Netanyahu to spread the idea that these Hamas fighters who by the way had committed terrible atrocities like absolute barbarians, and it sort of legitimises what Israel goes on to do because these are actually outside humanity, they are worthless as human beings and we can, we must now go and eliminate this. Now whether these journalists were being used, they didn’t. I don’t think they were getting their stories directly from Israeli government sources. They tended to be getting it from civil society organisations, and the stories did turn out… the 40 beheaded babies classically, as hogwash. So sometimes they’re still being repeated, they were then reiterated by Western politicians. Biden certainly came up with them, and of course it just helps to create a mood in which Israel is to be supported in whatever it does.”

Haim Shani was also simultaneously the Director of Cellebrite, but who funds the UK-Israel Tech Hub? The UK-Israel Tech Hub is funded by the British Foreign Office, by the British Embassy in Israel and the British Department of Trade. The UK- Israel Tech Hub exists for the sole purpose and with the stated objective of procuring public sector contracts in Britain for Israeli cyber and tech companies. British taxpayers fund an organisation which is facilitating Israeli tech companies staffed by former Israeli intelligence personnel taking over public sector contracts in Britain, including in the NHS. Currently, the data for the British Home Office, the British Ministry of Defence, and the NHS is handled by a company called Oracle. Oracle was founded by Larry Ellison, the seventh richest man in the world and close friend of Benjamin Netanyahu. Larry Ellison is the largest funder of the Friends of the IDF charity in the history of the organisation. In addition to that, this company, Oracle, offered the directorship to Benjamin Netanyahu, meaning that the Home Office, the Ministry of Defence, the Foreign Office and the NHS has its data stored in a cloud run by a company that Benjamin Netanyahu was supposed to be the director of.”

Read or Listen; Every time, the media sides with the discredited apologists for genocide by Jonathan Cook, 13 January 2026′

‘Stop making moral outcasts of doctors and teachers for their principled opposition to genocide. Turn your fire instead on MPs, the media and pro-Israel lobby groups for their pitiless hypocrisy.’

‘British-Palestinian doctor Ghassan Abu Sittah was cleared last week by a UK tribunal of misconduct charges, related to social media posts, that could have seen him removed from medical practice.

The case was initiated by UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI), a fanatical pro-Israel lobby group that seeks to use abusive legal procedures to intimidate and silence critics of Israel. But more disturbing still, the case was taken up by the General Medical Council (GMC), the regulatory authority overseeing the medical profession.

Had the case been successful, Abu Sittah would have been struck off on the entirely spurious basis that he is antisemitic and a supporter of terrorism. Hundreds of patients who depend on his world-renowned reconstructive surgery skills would have been denied treatment from him as a result.

The three-person panel of the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service, which cleared him, dismissed all the allegations. It concluded that the UKLFI and the GMC had “cherrypicked” and misrepresented two posts on X and an article published in Arabic, and failed to provide accurate translations of Abu Sittah’s arguments.

Ian Comfort, chair of the panel, said the tribunal could find nothing antisemitic or that supported terrorism or violence.

Afterwards, Abu Sittah correctly described UKLFI’s goal as “trying to destroy my life”.

The surgeon has been a focus of the Israel lobby’s vilification efforts, in large part, because he has been such a prominent and vocal advocate for Palestinians facing genocide in Gaza. He volunteered right at the start of Israel’s barbarous assault on the enclave, performing surgery on Palestinians who had been maimed by US-supplied bombs dropped by Israel. He was among the first to tell the world that what we were witnessing was a genocide.

His testimony has been shared with the International Criminal Court, which has issued arrest warrants for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defence minister, Yoav Gallant, for crimes against humanity.

A recent film, A State of Passion, documents Abu Sittah’s extraordinary work.

Jeffrey Sachs; “If I understand Netanyahu at all, who I find to be a vile war criminal and mentally deranged, but aside from that, I think his idea is that this is saving the Jewish people from what otherwise will be their fate. And I just wanted to add that to the list. It seems bizarre that…. But that’s the paradox, that it turns into a genocidal state. But that is this bizarre twist, and it comes i just wanted to mention when Yaakov mentioned. the logic of expansionism, of settler colonialism, it’s exactly Netanyahu’s explicit political belief in hiis writings, his books and the document. Called Clean Break, which is written with his political advisors in 1996. He said, Our project, our zionist project will inflame states in the region, they will support militancy like Hamas or Hezbollah. Our job is not to fight the militants, our job is to fight the states that are supporting the militants. You you don’t fight terrorists, you fight states that, that fund the terrorists. And so this is why it’s non-stop war in the Middle East. It’s war in Lebanon, in Syria, in Iraq, in Iran, in Yemen and in Africa, in Somalia, in Sudan, in Libya. There’s an Israel hand in all of that, and moreover, it’s the zionist lobby telling the United States, go fight in all those places, send your CIA there, overthrow those governments, bomb them, bomb Gaddafi to obliteration, overthrow Assad, bomb Saddam Hussein, he’s the new Hitler. This is zionist lobby instruction. And so it is exactly that logic. But I just wanted to add that element. If there was a secular religion, it was the religion of overcoming persecution, was the mentality and very, very powerful motive force. But it’s not the motive force of Ben Gvir and Smotrich and the religious zionism now, which is this redemptive messianism. So it’s many strains that have come together in all of this, but it is not rabbinic Judaism, that’s for sure.”

Read; Why Claiming Israeli Jews Are Indigenous to Palestine Is False Palestinian Historiographical Research, 22 January 2026

‘Claiming that Israeli Jews are the indigenous people of Palestine is a statement that collapses under historical scrutiny. The land of historic Palestine, corresponding to present-day Israel, has been continuously inhabited for millennia by Levantine populations, including Natufians, Canaanites, and other Semitic groups. At no point did a total demographic replacement occur. Throughout history, local communities preserved their presence, adapting to cultural and religious changes without losing their genetic or territorial continuity. This historical reality undermines the narrative that presents modern Jews as indigenous to the region. For hundreds of years, Jews constituted a very small minority: approximately 2–4% in 1800 (around 7,000–9,000 among 300,000 inhabitants), 3–5% in 1880, and close to 8% by 1914. Only with the large waves of Zionist immigration in the 20th century did the Jewish population reach 32% by 1947, most being recent arrivals from Europe and elsewhere (McCarthy, 1990; Bachi, 1977; Scholch, 1985).

Being indigenous is defined by prolonged territorial and demographic continuity, not by religious claims imported from the diaspora. Palestinians descend directly from communities that never left the land, maintaining family structures, traditions, and deep-rooted ties despite religious changes. Modern Israeli Jews, largely descendants of 20th-century immigrants, do not meet this standard. The only partial exception is the Old Yishuv, the small pre-zionist Jewish population that remained for centuries, though they were a minority and cannot represent today’s Jewish population. Genetic research reinforces these distinctions. Palestinians descend from ancient Levantine populations (Agranat-Tamir et al., 2020; Haber et al., 2017), while modern Jews show a combination of Levantine ancestry and significant European or other admixture, breaking both genetic and territorial continuity.

To insist otherwise is not historical reasoning; it is ideology supporting a colonial project that displaced the indigenous majority. The evidence is overwhelming.’

Palestine and Arab Palestinians have been in the Levant since history began

Watch; “Palestine is a word as old as literacy itself.” Novara Media, 17 August 2025

William Dalrymple; “I thought it was the Romans who came up with the word Palestine. But in actual fact Palestine is a word as old as literacy itself. In the Egyptian form it’s Peleset in the hieroglyphs, the Assyrians talk about Palestina, Herodotus talks about Palestine, the father of history, and he says there are Arabs where Gaza is. So it’s a long complicated history. The Levant is the most fantastically mixed and plural and cosmopolitan part of the world. Every port has mixtures of people and that’s true of Palestine too, and people are coming in and out. It isn’t just one people sitting there, there’s migrations in and out throughout the whole of history. But there is always this group of people and the DNA of modern Palestinians is almost identical to the Bronze Age people that Joe was talking about from the Bronze Age collapse from the first half. They are the same people that have always been coming, mixed with different groups, plural and mixed and not pure, but a mixture of everything, what Salman Rushdie calls a chutney-fied mix of people. But they’ve always been there and they need to have a state. Now is the time. So we need all of us to work for that.”

Listen; Zachary Foster talks about the serious humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the West Bank UK Column News, 9 January 2026

Professor Zachary Foster; “Every single shot fired inside the Gaza Strip by an Israeli soldier is illegal. They have no right to self defence. Zero. Every single shot fired in the West Bank is illegal because every Israeli soldier stationed in the West Bank is stationed there illegally, against international law. And that’s because Gaza and the West Bank were territories conquered in war, and according to the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1940, which really forms the basis of the international order that we live in today, it is illegal to conquer land in war. Otherwise we should all be praising Hitler. The basic principle of international law is founded on this idea that states are sovereign. That’s the Westphalian political system. It’s against the rules of international law to interfere in the internal affairs of another state, as it is against international law to invade, occupy, conquer and annex any part of another state. And that’s why all international legal experts, there’s basically no exceptions, except of course for those zionist legal experts who obviously are loyal to zionism, not international law. But there’s zero international legal experts that dispute this.

For about, let’s say 2,000 years, there was no such thing as an Israel-Palestine conflict. It didn’t exist. There were Muslims, Jews and Christians living in Palestine consistently together. I’m not saying they were living merry lives together, that relations were always perfect, but no, there was no such thing as an Israel-Palestine conflict. Conflict before zionism, it didn’t exist. If you asked someone who do you support in the Israel-Palestine conflict in 1840, they would have no idea what you’re talking about. The reason there’s a conflict in Palestine is because the zionist movement set out to colonise a land and transform it from a country that was 97% Palestinian Arab to a country that was dominated and controlled by Jews. That is why there is violence in Israel-Palestine. That is the underlying root cause of the violence in Palestine. No one debates that.”

Dr Rahmeh Aladwan; ‘This morning at 7am, 10 police officers stormed my house to search the property and arrest me for a speech and X posts – again. This is the second arrest in less than 2 months. The order was from the London Met Police – they travelled to a different city to arrest me – again. I was questioned on X posts mentioning: – jewish supremacy & jewish supremacists – ‘israel’ – ‘israelis’ and ‘israeli’ jews – and their feelings. – Melanie Phillips, the Chief Rabbi: Eprahim Mirvis, Wes Streeting, the General Medical Council (GMC), Emily Schrader – and their feelings regarding my posts responding to them. – Armed resistance (Palestinian) and Oct 7. – The Thawabet (principles of Palestinian liberation) – The Palestinian Naional Charter (1968) – The repatriation of jewish settlers from Palestine One of the posts was my response to Emily Schrader saying ‘FAFO’ with a picture of the martyred Palestinian journalist Saleh Al-Jafarawi. I began crying when I saw his picture and the interview had to be stopped for 10 minutes. I was held for over 7 hours and released on bail conditions (pre-charge): – Not to publish, post, or communicate material or statements that incite hatred, discrimination, or harassment against any individual or group based on race, religion or ethnicity. I told the officer that I do not agree that I have done any of the above and therefore do not know what I am signing for. I was told: ‘ Posts on jewish supremacism’. I do not believe any of the above has much to do with Britain but the majority of the interview was centred on ‘israel’ and ‘israelis’ including their feelings, their entity, and their future. Just to reiterate: I am a British citizen. I am an NHS doctor with 0 patient complaints or clinical errors who has just been suspended for 15 months after a 2-year campaign by the pro-‘israel’ lobby. I am part-Palestinian. I have just witnessed the mass murder of my people by the ‘jewish state’/’israel’ and the IOF – using my tax pounds. I have never incited violence or harm. I have criticised a foreign entity, individuals who identify with and/or support this foreign entity and the genocide it is committing, and the system of oppression underpinning the 100+ years of dispossession, murder, violence, war crimes and crimes against humanity that the Palestinians are enduring. Our freedom of speech and expression, our freedom of assembly and our civil liberties in Britain are under attack. Free Palestine. Free Britain.’

“Hello. I’ve just been released from the police station arrested again only a month and a half later for a speech that I gave in Leeds in the summer and a few X posts as well, quite a few X posts. Who do I think is behind this? It’s the Israeli Jewish lobby. Why did I get dragged back here? Because they wanted to take my electronics, they wanted to take my phone which they have done and basically at the end when they told me the bail conditions they said basically you’re just not allowed to say ‘Jewish supremacy’ so make of that as you will, but this is Britain today. We are at a breaking point indeed. I think we are witnessing the biggest attack on free speech and the culprit is the pro-Israel lobby unfortunately, and I think it’s only going to get worse. I think if a doctor who has an unblemished record can get suspended for 15 months and get arrested twice over X posts that I still stand by today, and I know that I can defend, then I fear for what’s coming in Britain.”

‘As soon as the UK listed Palestine Action as a terrorist group it was made clear to the entire western world that there is no limit to how far our governments will go to stomp out speech that is critical of Israel. Literally no limit. Once you’re arresting old ladies in wheelchairs for holding a sign that says “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action,” you’re making it clear that there’s nothing you won’t do to bludgeon the populace into line regarding this one particular foreign state.

That was a real turning point for western society, in retrospect. Up until then it’d been horrific genocidal depravity in Gaza and some ugly shenanigans with TikTok and university campuses, but actually proclaiming that an activist group is a terrorist organisation and arresting anyone who supports it was a wildly unprecedented escalation. From that point on it’s been clear to every decent person throughout the western world that we’re in the imperial crosshairs now. They’re coming for us directly. Our rights are on the chopping block. There’s no limit to how dark and dystopian things can get from here.’

The zionist movement tries to distract attention from its own unpopularity by funding anti-Muslim fervour.

Read; ‘Zionists play all sides’: Pro-Israel influence spans Britain’s politics, says expert by Aysu Bicer, 18 November 2025

Israel’s invitation of British far-right figure Tommy Robinson, long known for anti-Muslim activism and street mobilisation in the UK, has triggered fierce backlash in Britain and renewed scrutiny of growing ties between Israel’s right-wing government and European far-right movements. Analysts say Robinson’s trip – and the politics surrounding it – reflect a deeper ideological convergence that is reshaping alliances across Europe. Robinson, founder of the English Defence League, traveled to Israel in October at the invitation of Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party. The visit was immediately condemned by major British Jewish organisations, including the UK’s Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Jewish Leadership Council, who issued a joint statement calling Robinson “a thug who represents the very worst of Britain.”

In a video posted from Ben Gurion Airport, Robinson claimed he was “here to show solidarity with the Jewish people and the Israeli people,” describing Israel as “a beacon of freedom and democracy … and all the places surrounding this are human rights violations (sic), terror states and jihad states.” His appearance, analysts say, highlights a broader pattern: Israel’s far-right leadership cultivating links with European far-right parties, even as these groups campaign on anti-migrant, anti-Muslim rhetoric that often fuels domestic unrest. Robinson’s visit came amid months of anti-migrant protests in the UK, where far-right groups rallied outside hotels housing asylum seekers and mobilised street demonstrations. At a recent “Unite the Kingdom” rally in London, speakers declared that “Islam has no place in Europe,” while witnesses reported Israeli flags among crowds “hurling obscene anti-Palestinian abuse” at counter-protesters.

For David Miller, a British sociologist known for his work on Islamophobia and propaganda, Robinson’s rise – and the violent scenes that shook the UK this summer – are no coincidence. Miller argues that the nearly week-long riots in several UK cities this summer fit into a longer trajectory in which “pro-Israel lobby groups” have played a role in elevating Robinson and other far-right figures to redirect social and economic grievances toward Muslims. According to Miller, this alignment has been driven by “financial backing and political support from pro-Israel networks based mainly in Tel Aviv and the US” aimed at channeling working-class anger toward Muslim immigrants while reinforcing support for Western and Israeli military agendas.

‘Zionists play all sides’

Miller said the relationship between Robinson and figures within the Israeli establishment reflects a strategic repositioning. “We make a mistake if we think that the zionists, or right-wing zionists, have links with the so-called far right in the UK or in Europe,” he said. “Actually, the zionists play all sides of every political equation, so it’s not just the far right … All the mainstream parties in the UK are pro-zionists.” He emphasised that many key figures in these parties or groups receive “thousands, sometimes millions, of pounds of funding from the zionist movement.” Miller described this as “an attempt to colonise and occupy the whole political, administrative hierarchy and functions of the UK state, as they are doing in other countries as well.” For Miller, the traditional notion of a separate neo-fascist far right no longer applies. “There isn’t a far right that is just one block. What we used to refer to as neo-fascist or neo-Nazi, that has gone. And the reason it’s gone is that the zionists have co-opted most of the far right,” he said. “Most of the organisations to the right of the Conservative Party – for example, UKIP, Reform UK, Tommy Robinson and his collection of people coming out of the English Defence League – all of these are organisations which are assets and agents of the zionist colony in Palestine.” ‘They realise their propaganda isn’t working’ Miller traces this political realignment back to the late 2000s. “It was around 2009-2010 that … American zionists came over to the UK and to the rest of Western Europe to convince people who were then on the far right that they should abandon their Judeo-skepticism and change their politics, so that their main focus of racism and campaigning was Islam and Muslims,” he said. “They created something which called itself the ‘counter-jihad movement,'” he said, describing networks spanning Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the UK, organised under “counter-jihad Europe” and linked to a US-based global coordination body. “That’s grown since then into an international network, and that, of course, is funded in large part by the zionist movement – not necessarily by the zionist state itself – but by the movement.” Miller argues that this influence extends across the UK’s political spectrum, claiming that beneficiaries of this funding include parties from Labour to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party.

“What they’re doing is trying to play off their assets against one another … That’s why you see them trying to get a Reform government into place, because they realise that the Reform government will be even more racist against Muslims than the current Labour government.” He suggested that Reform UK could even emerge as the next government unless a strong left-wing alternative takes shape. Under Netanyahu, Israel has sought closer ties with European nationalist governments – from Viktor Orban’s Hungary to Giorgia Meloni’s Italy – as part of a shift analysts say reflects a fusion of zionist and islamophobic movements – once seen as opposing forces. “Nobody likes Israel anymore across the whole world, so they realise their propaganda isn’t working, and that the only thing which does work, according to their polling, is anti-Muslim hatred,” said Miller. “That’s why they’re pivoting towards anti-Muslim hatred as a key note in current and contemporary zionist propaganda.”

Are Muslims more religious than Christians so closer to God and his teachings and so kinder, wiser people?

Watch; Western Objective Nonsense, Middle Nation, 4 December 2025

Shahid Bolsen; “What the west calls objectivity is actually the ultimate form of subjectivity. You see, because they are using their own minds as the source of truth. They’re not using an objective standard. And this is why every aspect of their theories, every aspect of their models is always thoroughly self-serving and self-reinforcing and wrong. They are never disinterested parties, they’re never witnesses, they don’t act as witnesses, they are constantly, relentlessly and to one extent or another, helplessly spin doctors, propagandists engaging in self justification and rationalisation with varying degrees of elaborateness. That’s all their theories are, that’s all their academics is. They like to say that you can be a good person without believing in God. Okay, well first of all, let’s correct that statement for accuracy, and when you correct the statement for accuracy, it will sound a little bit different. What they’re saying is you can be a good person without acknowledging the one who created you, the one who created existence and the one who infused moral governance into creation. You can be a good person while denying all of that. How denial of your Creator is in and of itself an immoral act. Never mind it’s an unintelligent act, it’s an immoral act that is followed by the act of pretending that you can now be the arbiter of morality, that you can define what is good and what is bad, what is right and what is wrong. And somehow we are all supposed to trust you, and we’re all supposed to trust that you can define all of this without being swayed in any way whatsoever by your own personal self interest.”

Watch and Listen to rap; It was a scam – a dirty f****** scam – the Labour Antisemitism Smear Campaign by Glenn Jenkins Tony Greenstein, 27 November 2025

When they came for Tony Greenstein with a trumped up charge that he

was a raging anti-semite it was clear for all to see

that the charge was fucking ludicrous, a dirty lowdown smear

of a Jewish anti-racist who’s been standing firm for years.

Then the genocidal telescope turned onto Jackie Walker,

they spied and they lied and they tried to hide with a secret tape recorder.

Jackie’s trumped up charges just like Tony’s were twisted to deceive

by Labour fiends of Israel, what a tangled web they weave.

It was a scam, a scam, a dirty fucking scam,

and everyone now sees it clear as day.

The zionists and mammonists they pulled their bag of dirty tricks,

but now the mask has slipped and fell away.

The zionist hounds were confident now the tails were in the air,

with two Corbyn supporters lynched they moved it up a gear.

Red Ken was in the periscope, Chris Williamson in their sights,

Then they opened up the Gatling guns and shot with all their might.

Mark Wadsworth on the radar now they were really on a roll,

Taking anti-racist warrior scalps as a message to the proles,

there’s none of you we can’t defame, no scalp we cannot take,

and soon we’ll come for Corbyn, appeasing us was his mistake.

It was a scam, a scam, a dirty fucking scam,

And everyone now sees it clear as day.

The zionists and mammonists they hold their bag of dirty tricks,

But now the mask has slipped and fell away.

It was a scam, a scam, a dirty fucking scam,

and everyone now sees it clear as day.

The zionists and mammonists they pulled their bag of dirty tricks,

but now the mask has slipped and fell away.

Watch; David Hearst, editor-in-chief of Middle East Eye, draws on Nelson Mandela’s warning about judging nations by their prisons and outlines mounting evidence of deaths… Free Marwan Now, 13 January 2026

‘David Hearst, editor-in-chief of Middle East Eye, draws on Nelson Mandela’s warning about judging nations by their prisons and outlines mounting evidence of deaths, torture, and abuse of Palestinians in Israeli custody. Hearst states that Palestinians held in Israeli prisons are not simply prisoners; they are hostages in a system that prioritises endless war over justice. Israel is imprisoning Palestinian leaders who could negotiate an end to the conflict, such as Marwan Barghouti, a senior Fatah leader currently serving five life sentences. His trial has been condemned by international bodies, including the Inter-Parliamentary Union, which has stated that it breached international law and concluded that he did not receive a fair trial.’

David Hearst; “Israeli prisons also contain the key Palestinian leaders who could negotiate an end to this conflict. There is Marwan Barghouti, a senior Fatah leader serving five life sentences, who is popular enough to replace Mahmoud Abbas as president. An international campaign has been launched to free Barghouti on the same principle that led to Mandela’s release, which was a central demand of the anti apartheid movement. As Mandela himself stated, only free men can negotiate. Prisoners cannot enter into contracts. Mandela’s release was regarded at the time as a key step towards peace. He went on to lead negotiations that paved the way for the country’s first multiracial democratic elections in 1994, which his African National Congress won in a landslide. Some former Shin Bet heads, now long out of power and with next to no influence, see this. But the direction Israel is taking under Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir is plunging the state into a permanent war with both the Palestinians and its regional neighbours. If the international community wants to stop this conflict now, before it escalates even further, a release of all Palestinian prisoners should become the central demand of a global boycott and divestment campaign. A red ribbon campaign has been launched demanding the release of all Palestinian prisoners in custody. Every political party in Britain should be challenged to support this, not least the Labour Party.”

Read; Over 200 cultural heavyweights call for release of jailed Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti Images, 3 December 2025

‘Over 200 prominent cultural figures spanning literature, film, music, art and activism have signed an open letter urging the release of Marwan Barghouti, who was abducted by Israeli forces in the West Bank in April 2002, and later jailed. The Palestinian leader is widely seen as a unifying force and a central figure in the struggle for Palestinian statehood, and is often described by supporters as the “Palestinian Mandela”.

The signatories include some of the world’s most celebrated names: authors Margaret Atwood, Philip Pullman, Zadie Smith, Fatima Bhutto and Nobel laureate Annie Ernaux; actors Sir Ian McKellen, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swinton, Mark Ruffalo and Josh O’Connor; and musicians Sting, Paul Simon, Annie Lennox and Brian Eno. Also on the list are Stephen Fry, Gary Lineker, Ai Weiwei, Sir Richard Eyre, Delia Smith and billionaire entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson — a coalition as varied as it is influential.

Barghouti, 66, has spent 23 years behind bars after what human rights groups and legal experts have long described as a deeply flawed trial. An elected member of parliament at the time of his abduction, he continues to consistently top Palestinian opinion polls as the public’s preferred leader. His continued detention, including his exclusion from the recent prisoner swap following October’s ceasefire in the Gaza war, has been widely interpreted not as a security decision but as a political one, rooted in concerns about the influence he could wield in building Palestinian unity and renewed momentum toward a two-state solution.

The open letter raises alarm over Israel’s insistence on introducing legislation allowing for the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners, a move that could put Barghouti at further risk.The campaign for Barghouti draws parallels to the cultural movement that helped galvanise international pressure to free Nelson Mandela and end apartheid in South Africa. Mandela himself drew the comparison in 2002, saying, “What is happening to Barghouti is the same as what happened to me.”

Musician Eno echoed that sentiment in his statement; “History shows us that cultural voices can shift the course of politics. Just as global solidarity helped free Nelson Mandela, we all have the power to accelerate the day that Marwan Barghouti walks free.”British-Palestinian novelist and lawyer Selma Dabbagh emphasised the longstanding concerns around Barghouti’s trial, citing the Inter-Parliamentary Union’s assessment that it was “deeply flawed”. “Marwan’s release would be a critical step in allowing Palestinians to determine their own leadership, whatever shape that may take,” she said. The joint statement by the group expresses “grave concern” over Barghouti’s continued imprisonment, violent mistreatment and the denial of his legal rights. It urges the UN and global governments to “actively seek his release”.’
