Legacy Media Perpetuates Lies

The purpose of our newsletter is to give you important information that is censored in the mainstream media.

“The way you get democracy to function is by informing the public.” – Robert Kennedy Jr.

“Science is more than a body of knowledge. It is a way of thinking; a way of sceptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask sceptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be sceptical of those in authority, then, we are up for grabs for the next charlatan (political or religious) who comes rambling along.” – Carl Sagan

“Never worry about who will be offended if you speak the Truth. Worry about who will be misled, deceived and destroyed, if you do not.” and
”Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less travelled by and that has made all the difference.” – Robert Frost

Though the chapters interrelate, they are divided into six sections and have a common realisation that a cabal of corporate elites have captured global trade, global and national governance, mainstream and online media, and ultimately many of our minds.

Food & Farming / Co2

Jyoti Fernandes

Agro-ecological farmer Jyoti Fernandes has spent years campaigning for local food and small-scale farming. She farms at Five Penny Farm in Dorset, producing cheese, meat, cider, fruit juice, preserves and is part of a local smallholders co-operative that shares processing facilities and sells members’ produce collectively.

Jyoti co-founded the Landworkers’ Alliance (LWA) and coordinates their campaigns for a better future for small-scale farming. LWA is the UK chapter of La Via Campesina, a global movement that represents over 200 million peasants, landless workers, indigenous people, pastoralists, fishers, migrant farmworkers, small and medium-size farmers, rural women, and peasant youth from 180 countries around the world.

“Local food is the best food to work with our local landscapes, to regenerate biodiversity, to look after our soils and also look after our communities.”

This is not a lifestyle choice, it is food security built on real farms, real skills and real supply chains. That is why the Landworkers’ Alliance is mobilising against the 3-hectare threshold for SFI subsidies which shuts out many highly productive small farms and market gardens.

“What the agritech companies and the big corporations are pushing forward as climate solutions, things like vertical farms and genetically modified crops and robotics and intensive agriculture, are actually false solutions.”

It’s time to mobilise. If you want to back small farmers and Jyoti’s work, read the Landworkers’ Alliance update and get involved. Watch and share the video below to help get this message out.

Forbidden Fruit and Veg is a 1.7 acre walled market garden that grows chemical-free veg, delivering weekly to 3 Bristol shops, selling at 2 farmers markets, supplying 23 weekly family veg boxes and selling veg from an unmanned stall with an honesty box, but fails to turn a profit because we are competing with cheap imports and are too small to receive a subsidy.

Read; SFI 2026 Update: It’s time to mobilise for below 3ha farms, Landworkers Alliance, 27 February 2026

‘The Landworkers’ Alliance wants to express its huge disappointment at the Government’s recent announcement that the 2026 Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) will exclude farmers and growers operating on fewer than 3 hectares of land.’

‘Below 3ha farms can be highly productive; as fruit orchards, for soft fruit and vegetables and as mixed small-scale livestock farms supporting wildlife and biodiversity in remarkable ways. The reintroduction of a minimum threshold is a huge blow to these businesses and the recognition they deserve for providing public goods. Within SFI there are payments for organic horticulture, agroforestry and orchard payments which offer substantial payment rates for smallholding businesses and market gardens, and have the potential to provide critical income streams for below 3ha farms.’

‘In their statement Defra have justified their decision by saying it follows “discussions with the sector and to reflect the recommendation made by Baroness Batters in her recent Farming Profitability Review“, and we have also been made aware that there have been complaints within DEFRA that serving the needs of the very smallest farms required too much administration.

What can we do now? In the interest of fairness and accessibility, below 3ha farms must be able to access SFI. We have therefore asked for an emergency meeting with civil servants and the Secretary of State to address this. In order for us to proceed with a strong case, we need to compile information about farm businesses which will be impacted. If you are a farm in England operating on under 3ha of land, please send us your details. If you would be willing to come to a meeting with DEFRA or open up your farm for a visit we would love to hear from you. Please email Jyoti on: jyoti.fernandes@landworkersalliance.org.uk

The government should support small-scale organic fruit and veg market gardens that grow healthy food, increase biodiversity and soil health, strengthen local communities and provide jobs for skilled growers and training through the Woofer scheme. If subsidies were available, more crop and livestock farmers could diversify some of their land into organic fruit and veg production to sell at local markets to both increase  local jobs and boost local economies.

Read; The Case for a Market Garden Support Fund, Landworkers Alliance, March 2026

‘Agroecological and organic market gardens deliver far more than fruit and vegetables, they also benefit the environment, public health, education and community resilience, while attracting a generation of committed new entrants and strengthening long term food security. In this booklet we aim to demonstrate these benefits and make the case for a Market Garden Support Fund, specifically targeted towards enabling this valuable sector to thrive.’

Our proposal: A Market Garden Support Fund. We propose a Market Garden Support Fund which would target horticultural operations that meet the following criteria:

– Provide a minimum of 1,000 hours paid employment per year
– Grow a diverse range of vegetables and/or fruit
– Are organically certified (see p.8 for how the fund would support certification costs)
– Are enthusiastic and in a position to engage with the communities around them through activities such as school visits, volunteering, social prescribing, cooking and gardening classes and CSA membership (the capital grant scheme will also be open to organic market gardens not offering public engagement)
– Sell produce either directly or through farmer-focused routes to market enabling a larger percentage of the retail price to go to the grower and a closer engagement with the customer.

However, as was covered by Farming Today, our taxes are supporting the technology that will produce fake food.

Listen; Food: Unappealing new diets on the way, UK Column, 18 March 2026

Charles Malet; “…..the direction of what is being described erroneously as The Food Standards Agency (FSA), has produced a document entitled Future Foods that could transform UK plates by 2035. Specifically it’s referring to technology, saying ‘the technology is most likely to generate food safety and regulatory needs in Great Britain over the coming decade’. Now, we’re going to listen to an exchange between the head of the FSA, Professor Susan Jebb, and then in response, Professor Tim Lang. We’ll hear Susan Jebb on Radio 4, first of all.”

Susan Jebb; “Our food system is always evolving and this is really exciting science, so let’s celebrate that in British Science Week. But we need these new foods to help us address some of the big societal challenges of our time. We know that diet- related problems are causing ill health. We know that the way we produce food is putting huge stress on our environment, and we know that with all the geopolitical instability around the world, we need to be more food secure in the UK. And so some of these new technologies can help solve those challenges.”

Professor Tim Lang; “Health wise what challenges could they solve because we can obviously get a lot of this stuff anyway.”

Susan Jebb; “Of course, but because we’re manufacturing these things in very controlled environments, it will be possible to tailor them much more specifically to our particular needs. So perhaps to change the type of fats that are in a product or to develop particular foods, if you like, designer foods for people with particular nutritional needs. But the key thing is that with all these new technologies, we have got to be sure they’re safe.”

Charles Malet; “I’m just going to run through a list of the sorts of things that she is actually referring to and I’ll leave you to decide whether you want to eat any of them or whether you’d consider that any would constitute food! The first being ‘controlled environment agriculture’, which you heard her talking about, ‘precision and biomass fermentation, cellular agriculture, including cell cultivated foods, edible insects.’ And of course a reminder there that chitin, this substantive ingredient, is not bioavailable to human beings. ‘Molecular farming, using plants or plant cells as tiny factories to make specific food ingredients such as proteins and enzymes. Gas fermentation, using microbes to convert captured carbon dioxide, hydrogen or other industrial gases into single cell proteins and other useful food ingredients’. Now, these last two appear to encapsulate how far removed the description of food has become from reality. So we look at, first of all, 3D food printing, building foods like, and I quote, ‘like chocolate or mashed potato’. Of course, neither of those is needed by human beings in the first place. And indeed the ingredients come from a printer. She then talks about reverse food manufacturing, taking nutrients back out of food and turning them into new ingredients. So, as if that isn’t enough, she is painting a picture where the FSA is becoming much like the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency), which of course is described as a regulator, but in actual fact is becoming an enabler. She appeared to veer fairly far off course and was corrected, I would say, or put back on course by Professor Tim Lang, who was the author of the National Preparedness Commission, ‘Just in Case’ report. And this is him countering Susan Jebb.”

Professor Tim Lang; “…..if you look at the technologies that the big report the FSA and Food Standards Scotland has produced, they’re all factory approaches. What this represents is the Food Standards Agency accepting the government’s economic agenda of trying to engineer biology and move away from the land towards factories. But that’s actually brought us the societal problems Susan Jebb referred to, namely obesity and things. The hard criticism I have is I wouldn’t like listeners of the Today Programme to think this is actually the future that’s coming. It’s one version of the future that’s coming. There are technologies that are completely missing in this report. Artificial Intelligence, ransomware, the weaponisation, which my report, ‘Just in Case‘ for the National Preparedness Commission, went into. These are the things which are affecting people directly.”

Charles Malet; “So despite the fact he is in effect an insider, in that he writes documents for government use, Tim Lang, is not shy of criticising exactly what it is that the FSA is trying to push, and of course, the FSA is exposing itself as, first of all, a net contributor to the process of destroying the British countryside and the way of life, destroying the natural environment and destroying human health, but also gifting enormous control and profit to Big Food and Big Pharma. As they say, they could transform UK plates by 2035, but it’s up to the UK Column audience and the wider population to ensure that this does not happen. But the signs are not good. I just picked up a recent BBC report on the decline in the market for sheep farmers, which has been a steady trend over the years. A number of different influences, one of them being the lure of cheap ultra-processed foods, but also the push of subsidy, which the article references how changing subsidies have made an impact away from livestock and towards nature recovery, but also interestingly, how Muslim communities could make a difference. I quote from the article AHDB, (the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board) statistics suggest that 80% of Halal consumers eat lamb on a weekly basis and 64% eat mutton weekly. By contrast, only 6% of the general UK population eats lamb each week. So the AHDB is going on to produce an article that substantiates effectively the case for the Muslim population of Western Europe now providing the main market for British sheep farmers. Of course, the Muslim population of the United Kingdom now being the bastion upholding the British tradition of eating lamb and mutton.”

Of course farming needs to change but in exactly the opposite direction from the tech one never questioned by the BBC. Though people love farming, tech giants persuade their stooge politicians to pour our taxes into R&D and reduce taxes on machines and robots, not labour.

Listen; Data storage in the countryside, AI in farming in Cornwall, BBC Farming Today, 6 March 2026

Presenter; “Once built, this data centre and others in Scotland are likely to be used by a data giant such as Google.”

“On lavender fields in a green corner of southeast Cornwall the future is being written. Farmer Ian Sexton is operating a special robot that rolls on wheels over his crops. It can plant weed, spray and importantly, collect information about the soil, along with hundreds of other things that affect this corner of the county. It’s an AI experiment Ian’s doing alongside Plymouth University and a robot company to support his essential oils business. Predicting windows of work and knowing where you can plant is helpful amid big climate changes.”

The question is; why is supermarket meat cheaper? 

Watch; Big Supermarkets Are RUINING Your Meat — Here’s Why, Radmore Farm, 23 March 2026

‘Big supermarkets are selling you short — and farmers are paying the price. Here’s the truth about what happens to your beef or other meats between the farm gate and your fridge. Want to know where your meat ACTUALLY comes from? Buy direct from this farm; www.radmorefarmshop.co.uk British farmers produce world-class beef. So why does supermarket beef look — and taste — so different? In this video I break down exactly what happens to your meat in the supply chain: who makes the decisions, who cuts corners, and why the farmer who raised your beef saw the least of the money you paid. This isn’t an attack on farmers. It’s the opposite. I’m a working British farmer and I don’t supply supermarkets — because I’ve seen what that system does to quality meat. I’ll show you the receipts.’

Topics covered:

– Why supermarket beef is pale and wet compared to properly hung beef
– How hanging time is being cut to hit margin targets
– What ‘British beef’ on a label actually means — and what it doesn’t
– Why the breed of cattle matters more than the supermarket wants you to know
– How you can support British farmers directly — and eat better for it

If local butchers, who sell meat from local farmers and local abattoirs, don’t get our support or we will be dependent on nutritionally deficient corporate food.

Read; Meat Supply at Risk as UK Slaughterhouses Disappear, Jamie Blackett, Countryside, 28 February 2026

‘The government policy surrounding slaughterhouses has become a shambles, if you will excuse the pun, shambles being an ancient word for abattoir. You would have thought that after 300,000 years Homo Sapiens would have got the hang of it by now. Yet we have overthought the process to such a degree, and made it so complicated, that we are in danger of losing the ability to slaughter sheep, cattle and pigs altogether here in the UK, outside the Big Food cartel of processors supplying supermarkets. Many farmers, and particularly smallholders are giving up keeping livestock for lack of a local abattoir to do the deed once an animal has been ‘finished’ and is ready to complete the final part of its journey from field to plate.’

Pay the price for pork that is fair to the farmer and kind to the animal.

Read; Banning CO2 pig stunning will place high cost on industry, Farmers Weekly, 19 March 2026

‘Currently 90% of pigs reared in England and Wales are stunned by being exposed to high concentrations of carbon dioxide, while the remaining 10% are mainly stunned using electricity. Defra said it wanted to ban carbon dioxide gas stunning as part of its Animal Welfare Strategy published last year. The Animal Welfare Committee, which advises Defra on such matters, had previously called for a transition to alternative methods within five years, having concluded that high-concentration carbon dioxide stunning may cause respiratory distress to pigs. It deemed other inert gases, such as argon, to be significantly less aversive, while electric stunning was found to result in near instant unconsciousness without pain or suffering.’

Our campaigns to end factory farming cruelty focused on encouraging people to only eat high welfare meat not to go vegan. However, corporations have hijacked the public’s concern for the animals in order to sell them nutritionally deficient fake meat.

Read; Pig industry responds to London Underground ad campaign, Farmers Weekly, 3 March 2026

‘The pig industry has expressed frustration over a two-week campaign by Animal Justice Project on the London underground, which has placed 22 large posters across 12 stations, urging commuters to stop eating pigmeat. The posters, which measure 2m x 3m, feature two designs. One places a piglet alongside a puppy, and the other shows a sow in a farrowing crate with the words: “If she were a dog, we’d call it abuse.”‘

Feeding our children cheap imported meat is a false economy as they will be sick and thereby a drain on the NHS. It is an utter disgrace that our politicians have sold out to their corporate funders who direct our taxes to fund endless war and tech, not our health and wellbeing.

Read; Why are Welsh children fed chicken from China? by Jeremy Clarkson, The Times, 14 March 2026

‘Staggering news from the wrong side of the M5. An investigation by the Countryside Alliance has revealed that in Gwynedd’s schools nearly 90 per cent of the chicken children eat is coming from Thailand and China. And in Merthyr Tydfil it’s as near as makes no difference to 100 per cent.’

‘It would be easy to blame the government for this, so I will. Because it’s the government that imposes unbelievably strict and expensive-to-achieve standards on British farmers and then allows wholesalers to import meat and veg that weren’t grown or reared to anything like the same set of rules.

Why furious farmers are turning their wrath on the supermarkets; Defra knows full well this is going on, but there’s no point in asking what it’s going to do about it because it will just say, “It is right that hard-working families in the community can enjoy sustainable blah blah blah,” Let me give you an example of the problem. In the olden days farmers could protect their oilseed rape crop using something called neonicotinoids. Here’s how they work. You take your rape seed and you coat it in a neurotoxic insecticide that spreads into the tissue and the pollen of the plant as it grows. So if the flea beetle comes along and tries to eat the plant, which he will, because the flea beetle is basically a miniaturised locust, he will quickly become paralysed and then he will die.Unfortunately, in addition to dealing with the flea beetle, neonicotinoids also kill bees. That is a bad thing. It’s so bad, in fact, that in Britain the use of neonics was recently banned. Quite rightly in my opinion. I tried to soldier on without them, but it was hopeless. The flea beetle came along, spotted the plants were unprotected and, much like Christopher Plummer in Battle of Britain, got on his radio to tell the rest of the squadron, “Help yourselves everybody. There’s no fighter escort.” In just one week I lost £4,000 of crops and I wasn’t alone, which is why, last summer, England was no longer a yellow and pleasant land. Rape is pretty and the oil it makes is super nutritious, but with neonics banned it’s just too risky to grow it. Still, we saved the bees from an agonising death, so that’s great. Well, yes, but neonics are not banned in most of Asia or Australia and many states in America. So the British farmer has been forced to do his bit and take the losses on the chin and you now buy your vegetable oil from a farmer in the Far East who killed a billion bees to make it.’

The corporations lobby politicians to follow their path to profit not to the health of our livestock and those that eat them.

Watch; What Government is trying to do will scare you, Gareth Wyn Jones, 17 March 2026

Farmer; “So following a few off the record phone conversations, it appears that the rumours that started yesterday about Bovaer are actually true. And that is that this government has a commitment to legislate the use of Bovaer on UK dairy farms in the next few years.’ So that means they want us to produce this (milk), the world’s most nutritiously, complete and natural food. But now they want us to feed man-made chemicals to our cows that stop their stomachs working as nature intended so that it reduces their methane emissions. Really? And what benefit to the cows? None whatsoever. In fact, if we look at how Bovaer has been used elsewhere around the world, there are plenty of reports of cows becoming sick, of fatalities. And now there’s more research being done to ask if Bovaer is actually reducing their cow’s intake. It’s stopping them eating as much as they would normally. How is that to the benefit of cows? And actually, how does that fit in with the current Animal Welfare Bill this government is trying to pass through? And what about humans? The Food Standards Agency will tell you that actually the use of Bovaer has no impact on the quality or safety of milk or meat as long as it’s fed at the right dose. But we’re always factoring in risk. There could always be an incident there, somebody feeding at the wrong dose, and then we’re risking his perfectly healthy, natural product by adding chemicals into our cows diets.

So what is the benefit? Well, it’s so the government can have a piece of paper to wave around to say, we are net zero, but let’s look at our dairy herd and the impact that they have. If we look at the efficiency of UK cows, our impact from our dairy is 0.015% of carbon footprint of this world. If we use Bovaer, we are reducing that by 0.005%. And to put that in perspective, between now and when this legislation is due to come in, China will have built an extra 500 coal-fired power stations. That is how ridiculous this is. So this government needs to take a step back and think about this hard, speak to consumers, ask them what they want, natural food or unnatural chemicals to produce it. Speak to health experts, speak to vets, see what’s best for our cows, and let’s stop playing with nature. Let’s have food that is as natural and healthy as it’s meant to be.”

Listen to farmer explain why climate change is NOT caused by cow burps and farts.

Watch; Red meat is not causing climate change, James Melville, 28 February 2026

‘He is right. After 10-12 years, cow methane is broken down into CO2, entering a carbon cycle absorbed by plants via photosynthesis, converted into cellulose and eaten by livestock and the cycle starts again. The essence of environmental sustainability.’

Presenter; “Red meat is not causing climate change. Look at these cows. They’re eating grass. They are regenerating the land. Yes, they burp out some methane, but the carbon in that methane was part of the carbohydrates in the grass. And how did it get there? It came from atmospheric carbon dioxide that is fixed into the grass as the plants do photosynthesis. That is the carbon cycle. Cows don’t create new carbon. They are part of a natural cycle of ruminant animals; bison, buffalo, antelope, elk that has been going on for millions and millions of years. Look at this graphic from 2016 from the EPA. It shows that cows are far from the highest emitter of carbon dioxide or carbon dioxide equivalents in the environment. What are the major culprits? Transportation, electricity generation, burning coal, and technology. Those industries are trying to distract you by blaming these guys. But these animals provide humans with some of the best food on the planet. If we truly want to take care of humans and take care of the planet, we will have more cows raised properly like this, in a regenerative fashion, and we will discard the lies that these animals have any meaningful contribution to climate change at all.”

NGOs that perpetuate misinformation to promote Netzero, need to listen to experts who know about cattle’s true role in the carbon cycle;

Read; Regenerative grazing boosts the sky’s laundry system; 8point9.com; March 27, 2026

‘The standard story about cattle and climate goes something like this: cows produce methane, methane warms the planet, therefore fewer cows means less warming. It’s a clean narrative. It’s also, according to a growing body of atmospheric science, a seriously inaccurate one.

A recent episode of the Farm Gate podcast brought together host ffinlo Costain and Stephen — a researcher known online as @Regenetariansim, whose decade-plus of synthesising peer-reviewed atmospheric chemistry has made him a quiet authority on how methane actually behaves in the real world.

Their conversation centres on a molecule most people have never heard of, and a process that could fundamentally change how we think about cattle, land management, and the carbon cycle.’

Netzero tunnel vision is prioritising the Netzero scam over growing food.

Watch; Steve Reed BETRAYS British Farmers? – Gives 8,000 Acres to Chinese Company; UK News; Jeremy Report Media; 17 Mar 2026

Intro; “Steve Reed’s DEFRA approved 8,000 acres of British farmland for Chinese state-backed solar company while rejecting British farmer’s 200-acre expansion in the same week. Longsun Energy (63% owned by China State Grid Corporation) gets Grade 2 agricultural land approved February 26th. Robert Carter’s family farm expansion was rejected February 24th. Same minister. Same week. Same area. Chinese corporation approved. British farmer rejected.’

If politicians cared about food security on our island, with their forever war culture, they would have turned our farms towards more local production with more human input and less mechanical, tech and chemical use.

Read; Food prices will be forced up by Iran conflict, farmers warn, The Times, 16th March 2026

‘The Iran conflict will trigger the biggest spike in food prices since the invasion of Ukraine, the president of the National Farmers’ Union has claimed.

His warning comes as ministers will promise for the first time to hold food production at present levels, as part of a government blueprint for land use this week.’

Some of the farming measures included in the original Sustainable Farming Incentive scheme have been left out of the new revised scheme that starts in June. Fffinlo Costain talks to Joe Stanley, a livestock and crop farmer and head of sustainable farming at the Allerton Project that researches the effects of different farming methods on wildlife and the environment.

Listen; The new Sustainable Farming Incentive for England; Farm Gate,10 March 2026

Joe Stanley; “……. the only point of data collection from the entirety of the SFI scheme was soil organic matter level testing as part of that soil management plan, and that’s now gone. So across all of SFI, there is not a single data point which we are collecting anymore as a country. Now, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland have taken a very different approach to this, and they are collecting lots of data as part of their essentially farm environment schemes. Ultimately, if we’re not collecting any data, how can we know where we are now? How can we know if we’re improving? And I think this is a fundamental problem with our entire ELM scheme here in England that we’re almost shooting in the dark. And I know that data collection costs money, but again, what are we trying to achieve? “

ffinlo Costain; “And again, it comes back to this idea of additionality versus maintenance and government and indeed the private sector. And this is where the government has to step in and it has to support maintenance payments rather than simply additionality payments. The market finds it very difficult to reward maintenance and so we need a bit more than simply paying for actions. On that particular area, one of the most important elements of the SFI, has been removed. There was chatter on this on LinkedIn from John Harold at Plant Life and Jimmy Woodrow at Pasture for Life, that the managing priority, habitat species-rich grassland has been taken out. And that was valuable. It was £646 per hectare. But again, this was an essential maintenance payment for a really important habitat. And without that, there is every chance that that habitat is just going to be ploughed up or put into something else.”

Farmers have the vital task of feeding us and yet they are being undermined by the government both allowing cheap imports and imposing a crippling inheritance tax. No doubt because farmers are to be replaced by the corporations’ fake food.

Listen; Farming is forecast to see a drop in income, BBC Farming Today, 13 March 2026

Presenter; “With the exception of dairy farms and some lowland grazing businesses, all farming is forecast to see a drop in income in comparison with last year. And as the figures were compiled in February, the recent falls in the milk price may yet have an impact on that. Upland farms are expected to see an 8% drop to £37,000, pig farms, a 41% drop, mixed farms, a 32% fall, and cereal farms, a cut of two thirds to an income of £17,000. That’s the lowest level since the survey began in 2004. A harvest hit by the weather, lower cereal prices and the de facto ending of farm subsidy payments are said to be the major factors. What, then does that all mean on a farm? Olly Harrison farms more than a thousand acres in the northwest of England, largely growing cereals. He also runs a livery, rents out a holiday home, has solar panels and runs a YouTube channel.”

Olly Harrison; “It’s been a horrendous year, after the drought we had last harvest the cash flow has been so tight because we just didn’t really have any yield last year”

Presenter; “So where does it leave you, then, for the next financial year?”

Olly Harrison; “Well, I think it’s going to be another loss, there’s no doubt about that. It’s been tricky juggling cash flows. We do have quite a bit of diversification which has luckily carried us through. But at the moment we’ve got hyperinflation on fuel and fertiliser costs. It does beg to differ whether we need to plant any spring corn at the moment, because we can’t see a return on paper at the moment.”

Presenter; “As you say, we’re seeing all these prices going up because of the conflict in the Middle East, things like red diesel, heating oil, fertiliser. Grain prices, though, are also up a bit. But that, I guess, does leave you with some decisions to make.”

Olly Harrison; ” Grain prices aren’t up much at all as a percentage wise, not even 10%. But when you look at fuels, up 100%, heating oil, which you’d use for drying grain sometimes as well, that’s up 150%. It’s ridiculous. I can’t see a margin. Fertiliser price is doubled, so you kind of think to yourself, well, if I’ve got fertiliser in the yard that I bought at the right price I could probably sell my fertiliser to someone growing a higher value crop than cereals and make a greater return than I would trying to grow a crop of say spring barley, because it’s getting a bit late now for putting wheat in.”

Presenter; “Would you consider that just selling your fertiliser rather than actually growing something?”

Olly Harrison; “Oh, definitely, that’s what I’ve been doing today, walking around looking at different fields, making a decision of what we could put in it and whether we can see any return. And I think the only thing that’s going to be worth putting fertiliser on this year is the winter wheat that we’ve got in. I think any of the spring corn that we might plant, I don’t see a return for the cost of the fertiliser.”

Presenter; “What would you do with the land? Would you sow the crop without the fertiliser or do something different or what?”

Olly Harrison; “You’d be on a hiding to a loss if you didn’t use fertiliser. So you just fallow it, just leave it. Well, if it’s owned, look at it, if it’s not owned, pay the rent and take that as your first loss, but you’ve obviously profited from the fertiliser.”

Presenter; “Looking at the figures from the government on farm plan business income in England they say this is because obviously the weather, lower cereal prices and the ending pretty much of farm subsidy payments. So looking to the future, can you make it pay?”

Olly Harrison; “The next two or three years of cereals prices, looking on futures markets, the economics do not seem to add up at the moment, no. Everything is a big gamble and we used to have some insulation from that roulette reel with the support payments. We don’t have that anymore, so it’s become very, very risky and you kind of think to yourself well do I really want to risk the family home for that? The diversification is what’s paying the bills for me at the moment, so that’s where I’m concentrating my resources really, to anything else that’s outside of farming, I suppose. And that’s the decision now, do we plant spring barley? Spent a lot of money growing it and then lose even more money when you could just say no, I’ll take my chips off the table and I’ll cash them in and go and cash your fertiliser in.”

Our resourceful farmers are fighting back. Could the courts reverse Starmer’s inheritance tax to prevent the destruction of our family farmers and small businesses? If we want to hold on to them to produce real food, we must support them not least with the power of our purse.

Watch; Starmer TRAPPED by Farmers Lawsuit — Every Option Destroys Him, Jeremy Report Media, 21 March 2026

“Keir Starmer is trapped. After British farmers sued his government at the High Court over inheritance tax, Starmer now faces three possible outcomes when the verdict comes—and every single option destroys him politically. Whether the farmers win or lose the lawsuit, the Prime Minister has no good path forward on farm inheritance tax.The High Court hearing happened March 17-18, 2026 at the Royal Courts of Justice in London. Thomas Martin, a fourth-generation Cambridgeshire farmer, accused Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer’s government of breaking the law by refusing to properly consult British farmers before imposing 20% inheritance tax on family farms. The judges convened a rare Divisional Court—a panel of senior judges only used for constitutional emergencies—showing how serious this case is. Now everyone’s asking: what happens when the court verdict comes? The answer reveals why Starmer is politically trapped with no escape. The farmers’ lawsuit at the High Court has done something Starmer didn’t expect—it’s given British farmers time to organise, given the media a story to cover for months, given opposition MPs ammunition, and put the Prime Minister in an impossible political position where every option is bad. Thomas Martin said at the High Court: “I should be on the farm today planting barley, but instead we’re at court asking judges to declare the Chancellor’s decision unlawful.” That farmer from Cambridgeshire has just trapped the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. Starmer doesn’t realise it yet. But he will when the verdict comes.”

Until sewage sludge is thoroughly cleaned of contaminants, the toxins will not only contaminate your soil but will be ingested by the plant and harm consumers.

Watch; Sewage sludge on farmland, BBC Farming Today, 11 March 2026

Tom Heap; “Well, there are a lot of things you hear about in the media at the moment. So let’s start with microplastics. That’s one of them they’re now worried about, those tiny particles that might be coming off anything from carpets to the clothes that we wear to various industrial processes. Then you have the forever chemicals, often referred to as PFAS. These are things that you find in fire retardants, also in clothes, also in cookware, also in industrial processes. It’s worth remembering that the sewage sludge is often a mixture of domestic waste and industrial water as well. And the other thing that can come from us is pharmaceutical chemicals. These are often the so-called endocrine disruptors, that things can have an effect on our hormones, along with pharmaceutical drugs, things that we might take for our own well-being. So it’s a bit of a cocktail. And the problem is that the only things they’re really testing for are heavy metal, things like mercury and cadmium and things. And they’re not controlling these newer worries in effect.”

Presenter; “These products are getting into the sewage sludge because they’re not being screened out.”

Tom Heap; “There is a strong argument actually from the water industry themselves that they actually gave us a quote for Countryfile, we need a national plan to remove these forever chemicals, these PFAS from the environment, and it should be paid for by the polluting manufacturers. So they are saying that if there is a cost to this, it should come from the manufacturers of these things, it shouldn’t fall on them and then indirectly on us as water bill payers.”

‘This report examines how public development banks (PDBs) intersect with growing calls to transform food systems toward sustainability and equity. It highlights instances in which PDB investments align with agroecological principles, particularly among institutions that have deliberately integrated agroecology into their broader investment portfolios. The report found that currently, however, the majority of private-focused PDBs prioritise “bankable” projects—typically large-scale, industrial, profit-driven agribusiness.’

‘The group first identified a series of issues that are making access to food vulnerable in the UK, including the climate crisis, low incomes, poor farming policy and fragile just-in-time supply chains. These have left the UK dangerously exposed, the researchers said. They then analysed the shocks that could tip this vulnerable system into a full-blown food crisis, with major extreme weather events, cyber-attacks or international conflicts ranked top. These shocks would hit supply chains and push up food prices, which could lead to increased social tension and hidden market sales of unsafe food and, in the worst-case scenario, civil unrest or riots.’

Watch; No farmers no food, Gareth Wyn Jones, 6 March 2026

Gareth Wyn Jones; “I promise you something. Might not be today, nor tomorrow, next week or next month, or not even next year. But I do promise you one thing. Governments worldwide will regret what they’ve done to farming communities that feed the world.”

Patrick Holden calls out the blatant flaws in the Land Use Framework rhetoric. If the government really cared about feeding the nation and protecting the environment while fairly compensating farmers skills and hard work, the correct land use framework would be land sharing ie food grown on land where biodiversity is enhanced, not the land sparing scenario where chemical, machine and tech production continues on some areas while they take the rest for housing, rewilding and energy production.

Read; Alternative viewpoint on the Land Use Framework, Farming Online, 24 March 2026

Patrick Holden; “Nowhere in the framework document, apart from bland acknowledgements of the future need for multi-functionality of land use, is it recognised that it will quite probably be impossible to produce more food from less land, unless that food is produced unsustainably using a cocktail of chemicals which will perpetuate climate change, destroy what’s left of farmland biodiversity and further damage public health.”‘

The analysis below is wishful thinking. The potential outcome of the government’s Land Use Framework when directed by corporate captured politicians is only going to perpetuate fake food production and the netzero scam’s production so-called green energy.

Watch; The New Land Use Framework for England explained, Farm Gate, 20 March 2026

‘ffinlo Costain (Farm Gate) is joined by Sue Pritchard (Food, Farming and Countryside Commission) and by Phil Stocker (Chief Executive of the National Sheep Association and Chair of the Dartmoor Land Use Management Group).’

Phil Stocker; “I guess what we’re looking at is a national ambition, isn’t it? And we have to understand the individual impacts and consider how we deal with those more individual and more localised challenges. It’s got to be bringing people together so that as far as possible, we are on a journey that we can start to understand things from other people’s perspectives as well. There’s always going to be some difficult decisions. Even in that world of nature on Dartmoor, there’s very different views about how we best improve conditions for Dartmoor. Is it through the exclusion of stock or is it through more grazing animals and more management? And there are distinct views, but the only thing you can do, I think in those situations is bring people together and have a conversation.”

ffinlo Costain; “Yeah. Sue, what do you think?”

Sue Pritchard; “I think Phil’s right. The difficult decisions don’t go away, but having a much more explicit, transparent and inclusive process to resolving them, it’s kind of the only way through in our experience. And we tested this out in the trials that we conducted building up to the publication of The Framework. When people know and when people feel included, they’re much more willing to lean into some of the difficult decisions. People object to what they perceive as being big, top down decisions when they don’t feel involved and they don’t feel included and they don’t understand what the issues are. When we talked about housing in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, for example, people said over and over again, we’re not anti housing, but we’re anti the kind of crappy housing that developers want to build, putting masses of houses in our community which our kids are not going to be able to afford to buy, or which doesn’t have access to a school or access to health services. People want to live in lovely communities, in homes that provide affordable bills, that have nature around them, that have gardens, that their families can also stay in the community if they want to. When they’re involved upstream in the design process, not just the consultation process, ‘here’s the decision we’ve made earlier, would you mind just ticking it off’. When they’re involved in the design process, you will find over and over again that people will back difficult decisions. When people are able to contribute their ground truth, if you like, what it really looks and feels like on the ground, what they know of their community, what they know of their ecology and their landscape, and see that taken into account, we’re much more likely to get to robust, resilient and sustainable decisions, not just quick decisions.”

ffinlo Costain; “One of the key drivers of agricultural land use is diet. And for me, I only spotted one brief mention of diet in the framework. And yet how and what we eat impacts land use choices enormously. Should diet have been there in The Land Use Framework? And if not, then how is the framework going to interact with other governmental policies and priorities?”

Sue Pritchard; “Government is working right now on a food strategy and the relationship between The Food Strategy and the Land Use Framework, as well as the Farming Roadmap and the agri food pathway to Net zero are all intimately interlinked. The teams are working together on the relationship between all of those issues. One of the lovely things about the work we’ve been doing to support the Food Strategy with the Citizens Advisory Council and with citizens and with ministers looking at what actually works in places around the country. So we just presented last week to the same minister that was launching the Land Use Framework yesterday, the results of our ‘what works here’ inquiries, where citizens visited Cornwall and Liverpool, Yorkshire and the Northeast to show the kind of materiality of the relationship between land use decisions, farming choices, an industrial strategy that supports the growth of good small and medium sized enterprises, what people are eating, how they can eat it, local public procurement, charitable responses to food insecurity and food poverty. Seeing how this works together in places brings it all to life. So I’m quite optimistic that already The Food Strategy is being developed, understanding the relationship between land and how we use it. An industrial strategy that supports the growth of good businesses and health, what we need to be growing and eating more of to improve the public’s health and well being. So it’s kind of happening behind the scenes. Could it have been more explicit in this? Well, it would have been a much bigger paper, but I think the work’s happening.”

The Soil Association webinar is on how to grow veg without chemicals ‘through increased plant diversity in the cropping system (companion planting, intercropping, trap crops, conservation biocontrol).

Watch webinar; Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in Action: From research to practice in horticultural crops, 16 March 2026

‘This webinar, presented in collaboration between Soil Association, Soil Association Scotland and the Organic Growers Alliance (OGA), looks at some of the latest research in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) grounded in a practical, implementable approach. We look at how growers can build a balanced IPM system through biological control, plant diversity, biodiversity, weather-based pest forecasts and findings from citizen scientists.

Listen; A solution is to grow food at prisons and schools | Jerm Warfare UK Column News, 11 March 2026

Intro; “Jim Gale and Jerm talk about creating strong local communities by growing food and living simply. Jim shares his experience of turning a halfway house in Florida into a food forest and healing garden to help veterans. He believes education should focus on Farm material health and self-reliance, turning schools into places where children learn about growing food and living healthily. They discuss changing lawns into edible landscapes with fruit trees and animals to improve the soil and provide food. They emphasise working with local groups rather than relying on the government. They also touch on issues like censorship and the power of central banks.’

Jerm; “It’s the idea of growing food at schools and at prisons. It seems like a no brainer.”

Jim Gale; “It is such a no-brainer that when it’s done… and here’s the good news is it’s been done and it’s being done, and the places where it’s being done, the recidivism rate gets cut by 60, 70%, if not more. And in the case of the schools, the children have less addiction, they have less ADHD, less depression and they’re happier and healthier kids. So why it’s not being done is the story of the day.”

Jerm; “When you say take the poisons out of the schools, what do you mean?”

Jim Gale; “I mean, right now our kids are eating poisonous food. Foods that are growing with poisons are the catalyst for cancer and diabetes and heart disease, along with the stuff they’re spraying in the skies and the waters and the incredible destruction that comes from the blue light from this little black box that is sucking all of our attention in. We live in a toxic environment. So here’s how we supplant that. We start organising the schools around this idea of regenerative agriculture, starting at the schools. And here’s the kicker. We don’t need new taxation, we don’t need to create this control mechanism anymore. We simply tweak our awareness and then start using our energy and our resources in a way that creates a productive yield, a healthy value for our communities.”

Listen; The profound effects of pesticides on soil; Farm Gate, 10 March 2026

ffinlo Costain; “There’s a Europe-wide study shows profound effect of pesticides on soil biodiversity, and as an arable farmer, I’m sure that you’ll be sort of well across the detail on this. So a groundbreaking study published in Nature reveals that pesticide residues are profoundly altering soil biodiversity across Europe with implications far beyond farmland. The research conducted across 373 sites in 26 European countries uncovers the reality that pesticides have become the second most powerful of soil biodiversity patterns.(The Study) examined 63 different pesticides and their effects on a whole range of soil life, arachia, bacteria, fungi, protists, nematodes and arthropods, and pesticide residues detected in 70% of the sites studied.

Perhaps the most concerning is the study’s revelation of extensive non-target effects, ie. pesticide harming organisms that they weren’t designed to affect. And in particular, one of the biggest casualties was the mychorrhizal fungi. And we’ve seen, haven’t we, a big take up? And I’ve seen, just driving around the countryside in Dorset, that there are many farmers doing cover crops who weren’t doing before, who’ve got long stubble and things like that over the course of the winter. There is change happening. But when it comes to arable, the use of pesticides, particularly glyphosate, is still an issue, It’s still a problem. It feels like that’s the next super important stage that we need to find a way of getting away from pesticides.”

Read; How GMO and hybrid seeds impact farmers’ mental and physical health : An interview with Susan Owiti of the Kenyan Peasants League; 19 March 2026

Kenyan farmers won a significant legal battle on the 7th of March 2025 when they secured a conservatory order from the Court of Appeal in their case against the government’s decision to lift the ban on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). The court ruled that the Kenyan government cannot begin to import GMOs as planned while the appeal is ongoing.

In this interview**, peasant feminist activist Susan Owiti from the Kenyan Peasants League (KPL), one of the organisations that filed the court case, talks about the dangers that GMO and hybrid seeds pose to the mental and physical health of farmers – and particularly women farmers. Loans taken out to buy patented seeds lead to cycles of debt, depression, physical violence and even suicide. The antidotes: organising peasants through the practices of agroecology, the nurturing of indigenous seed sovereignty, and denouncing GMO and hybrid seeds.

Consumers need to wake up to the fact that food producers are lobbying us and politicians to allow toxic food onto our plates.

Watch; Toxic residues in food and irreversible genetic pollution,

TheRealTruthAboutHealth, 5 March 2026

Jeffrey Smith; “Monsanto hired a consulting company, the precursor to Arthur Anderson. They asked Monsanto executives, “what’s your ideal future in 15 to 20 years?” The Monsanto executive said “they want to genetically engineer 100% of all commercial seeds and patent them.” Then the consultant company worked backwards from that goal to create the strategy and tactics to achieve it. They reported that conversation in a January 1999 San Francisco biotech conference. …. That afternoon it got worse, another company circulated a white paper projecting a 95% replacement of all commercial seeds within five years. That would have been 2004. We, as a movement, were able to derail those plans because consumers rejected GMOs and so the companies couldn’t be putting everything in terms of GMOs. They saw what we did in terms of pointing out the dangers of GMOs, and they got together in another conference. Their primary goal many years ago was to try and push gene editing. So they created a disinformation campaign to governments to get them to think that gene editing was not really GMOs, especially the gene editing, which doesn’t add foreign genes, just changes the structure of the genes. Of course, it’s a GMO. They said, oh, this CRISPR and others, it comes from natural things. So it’s a natural process. It’s just doing what would happen naturally. It’s safe and predictable. Even more predictable. And it was all lies. In fact, the journal Nature described the results of three CRISPR experiments as chromosomal mayhem. Nonetheless, they’ve been able to convince almost every government, and they’re now in the fight in the EU to deregulate.”

US farmers feed GM feed to livestock and GM food to humans so both are sick.

Watch; How Organic Diets Reversed Chronic Illness with Jeffrey M. Smith, The Real Truth about Health, 23 February 2026

Jeffrey Smith; “I was speaking to an American veterinarian and he had at one point a South African client, and the client was having terrible problems with his cows and pigs. The pigs were like, sometimes cannibalistic and aggressive, and the cows weren’t producing much and it was psychological, physiological, and production. And the veterinarian gave him all sorts of things to do, and the guy said, just tell me one thing, I can’t do all of that. And he said, okay, never feed another GMO again. So the farmer had been growing GM corn in South Africa and feeding it to his animals. So his animals were eating 100% GM corn, not the mixture between GM and non-GM that you’d get if you ordered it from the market. So we switched to non-GM corn and started feeding it to the pigs and cows, and they got better, and then he ran out and then he had to buy corn from the marketplace and he fed them and they got worse again. And by that then he had enough corn planted so that he became 100%. Now he had farm workers that were working for him, and they were eating the same GM corn that he had grown for the cows three times a day as a staple, and they were getting sick. And he said they were spending a lot of money on their runny nose, flu symptoms, severe headaches, and a lot of them were just out, could not work. So we had to hire 60 workers when he only needed 50, so 20% more, because 20% of his workers were usually sick, too sick to work. And so when he switched the corn for the pigs and cows to be non-GM, his workers started eating non-GM and their health got better. All the problems disappeared. Now he also, the veterinarian told me this, that he’d been told by the farmer while they were eating the GM corn in vast amounts, once or twice a month one of his workers would be talking to him and his eyes would move in different trackings, they wouldn’t go parallel, they would just start to cross or go wide. And the farmer knew that within one or two days they would be dead. He didn’t know why, he didn’t know what was causing the tracking, he just knew that he had seen it once or twice a month. That stopped also when they switched to non-GM corn. Then they ran out of corn, had to get corn from the market, things reverted. That’s an example of human beings that are eating more GMOs than we are, perhaps than anyone in the world. And it was probably the cause of this high death rate and high sickness rate. So they were the canaries in the coal mine.”

Stacy Malkan, 24 March 2026

‘The Gates Foundation-funded AGRA effort has been widely criticised by African groups and others who say the foundation’s push for chemical-intensive monoculture farming and export-oriented commodity crops is exacerbating hunger, worsening inequality and entrenching corporate power in the world’s hungriest region.

In 2020 and 2021, sockpuppet accounts linked to Web3 Consulting – a firm Portland Communications used to outsource its “Wikilaundering” work – made significant edits to the AGRA page. Both AGRA and the Gates Foundation have worked with Portland Communications, Wilmot reported. Among its edits, the sockpuppets:

– Eliminated an entire section summarising evaluations and critiques of AGRA
– Deleted references to research showing AGRA failed to meet its own goals
– Altered the timeline of AGRA’s stated deadlines and targets
– Replaced critical material with promotional language or AGRA-produced publications

In one example, a sock-puppet editor removed a reference to a 2020 paper by Tufts University researcher Timothy Wise (who has also written for U.S. Right to Know). Wise analysed national agricultural data from African countries participating in AGRA programs and reported that the initiative failed to meet its stated goals of reducing hunger and doubling productivity and incomes for 30 million small-scale farmers, despite nearly $1 billion in philanthropic funding and billions more in government subsidies for commercial seeds and agrichemicals in AGRA’s target countries. The number of hungry people in those countries rose by about 30% since the Gates program began.’

” A solar panel’s lifespan is just 15 to 20 years. After that, efficiency drops and it needs replacing. Each panel is built from glass, aluminium, silicon, silver, copper and polymers. While glass and aluminium can be recycled, the silicon, silver and polymers, the most mining energy intensive components, are rarely recovered due to the cost and difficulty involved. Because of this, the panels simply end up in landfills. By 2050, solar panel waste is estimated to hit 78 million tonnes, according to International Renewable Energy Agency.

Retired Swiss army Colonel Jacques Baud explains how he has been sanctioned by the EU for claiming that Ukraine orchestrated its own invasion to accelerate NATO membership—which the EU labels a “conspiracy theory.”

Watch; Swiss Colonel EXPOSES Level of US/Israel Strategic Defeat Neutrality Studies, 19 March 2026

Pascal Lottaz; “My name is Pascal Lottaz. We are here on Neutrality Studies and we are talking again today to my countrymen and colleague, Colonel Jacques Baud. Jacques, welcome back. Can you give us an update about your case? Anyone who doesn’t know you are sanctioned by the European Union while you yourself are living inside the European Union, you have no bank account, you have no access to your funds, you are not allowed to buy or sell things. You’re not even allowed to leave Belgium where you live. That’s just a very short rundown. And this has been going on since December 15th. And now, as we speak today, on March 17th, where are you with your case?”

Jacques Baud; “Well, I’m still, as Judge Napolitano recently said, I’m the most famous sanctioned person in the world. This is exactly as you explained. The thing that has changed since our last programme is that my lawyers have been able to file an application for annulment of the sanction last week to the European Court of Justice. This is not a usual appeal, as we do, a normal process, court process, because the decision that was taken against me is not a judicial decision, it’s an extrajudicial decision. It is a political decision made by the Minister of Foreign affairs of the European Union. So, in essence, my sanctions are a foreign policy measure and not a legal measure. It’s very important to say, because people may think that I’ve done something wrong or something like that. No, I didn’t breach any law whatsoever in Europe or anywhere in the world. In fact, I’m just exerting my right to free speech. I don’t make propaganda, that means the European interpreted way, but that’s not what I intend to do. That’s always what I try to avoid. In fact, I was invited many times by Russian media and I refused that because precisely I wanted to have an academic view, an analytical view on the conflict and not a political view on the conflict. And that’s a little bit the situation where I am. So if I were living in Switzerland, that means outside of the European Union, I wouldn’t be affected so much by the sanction. I would be sanctioned in the same way. But there in Switzerland, essentially, my bank account would be accessible and I would have some kind of freedom of movement. I could not go out of Switzerland. Since Switzerland is surrounded by the European Union, am I in theory not allowed to enter the EU territory, but the problem I have is that I live in the EU and therefore I’m impacted by 100% by those sanctions and that’s a difference with the other sanctioned people who mostly live outside of the European Union, mainly in Russia, so they don’t experience the full extent of the sanction. They still have no access to bank accounts in Europe and things like that. But probably some people do not have even a bank account in Europe and they may not even need to travel to Europe. In my case, I am in Europe and therefore, as you rightly said, my freedom of movement is therefore impacted very strongly. I cannot visit my family, I cannot visit my daughter, I cannot travel, I can’t even go to my home country, Switzerland.

I could apply to have a travel authorisation. I could apply to the Belgium government, I could apply to the French government, I can apply to the Luxembourg government to have the authorisation to go through their territory. But then if I reach Switzerland, I may not be able to go back to my home. And that’s the reason why the whole situation is Kafkaesque in a certain way.

If you sanction, let’s say, people belonging to organised crime or laundering money or paedophilia or you name it, you can say, okay, you may understand something, but the problem of the European Union is that now they resort to sanctioning the speech of individuals. And that’s an evolution that is extremely dangerous. It’s dangerous in two ways. First of all, because it shows that Europe is afraid of free speech. The essence of democracy is precisely accepting free speech. So when you are afraid of free speech, that means you are no longer in a democratic process. Because even if you have people who are against democracy, they should have the right to express that. democracy assumes that you are able to counter the argument of those who are against democracy. So it’s a Darwinian process here. And when you are not able to counter the argument, then you have to forbid people to speak. And that’s where we are. And that means that the EU has not enough argument to counter the speech it doesn’t like.

To explain this extra legality or extra judiciality of the sanction. When you are extrajudicial, that means you’re out of the right, you’re no longer in the rule of law. Rule of law means that the state is ruled by law. When you have an extrajudicial decision, that means you’re outside of the law, so you’re no longer ruled by the law. And when you are not ruled by the law, that means you are in a dictatorship.”

BBC deletes the line from a presentation at the Reith Lectures ‘Trump is the most corrupt President in history’.

Watch; The BBC Censored Me … Rutger Gregman, 2 December 2025

Rutger Bregman; “….the BBC has decided to censor the opening lecture of a series they invited me to give. They deleted the sentence in which I described Donald Trump as the most openly corrupt president in American history. That line is gone. It has been removed from the version broadcast this morning on BBC Radio 4. Last Wednesday, I was told the sentence was being discussed with US lawyers and at the highest levels inside the BBC. For days they couldn’t give me an answer. Yesterday, they finally did. And the irony could not be bigger, because this lecture, titled A Time of Monsters, is exactly about the cowardice of today’s elites, about universities, corporations, and media networks bending the knee to authoritarianism. I find it hard to express how shocked I am by the BBC’s decision, because this is not just another media organisation. And these lectures, known as the Reith Lectures, have for more than 75 years been one of the BBC’s most important public platforms for big ideas and free expression. This should concern everyone, left, right, centre. Of course, people can disagree with the things I said, but to commission a lecture, take it through the full editorial process, record it before 500 people in the BBC Radio Theatre in the heart of London, and then censor it out of fear, well, that is something entirely different. And let me be clear, this sentence wasn’t a baseless accusation. It was a defensible and plausible statement. It’s well known that Donald Trump and his family are personally profiting from the presidency to a degree we haven’t seen before. According to a major investigation in the New Yorker published last August, the total personal gains, already exceed roughly 3.5 billion, from real estate deals to meme coins.”

George Galloway; “There are a hundred synagogues in Iran. There are Members of Parliament in reserved places for Jews in Iran. There’s no guards on the synagogues in Iran because there is no need for guards on the synagogues in Iran. There are hundreds of thousands of Christians in Iran. There are no guards on the churches, the cathedrals because there is no need for a guard on the church or the cathedral. And I, like you, know this to be true because I’ve been in them, I stood inside them, beautiful Armenian churches. The Armenian community was bombed by the Americans yesterday. The church, thank God, wasn’t damaged. The lies that are told by our media or platformed by our media are devilish. They are demonic, they are satanic. For a variety of reasons. I hate them even more than I hate the politicians because the politicians would not be able to manufacture consent for this existential crisis of humanity which currently exists if it were not for their collaborators in the mass media and the BBC.”

Professor John Mearsheimer; “I think that we are an incredibly ruthless country. The amount of murder and mayhem that we’ve created around the world is just unbelievable. I was looking at a study the other day put out by Lancet, which is a scientific journal, and they did a study, you can see it on the Internet. It was put out in November of 2025 and what the article did was it looked at American sanctions from 1971 to 2021, and it asked what were the consequences of those sanctions? And we murdered 38 million people. The amount of havoc we have wrought on the Middle East in recent years is just stunning. If you think about the consequences of the Iraq war, what we do in places like Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, you understand, we’re using this tremendous economic leverage we have, to basically starve people to make them suffer, to inflict great punishment on them so that they’ll rise up against their government. You understand that this is what we’re doing in Venezuela. This is what we’re doing in Iran. We’re inflicting massive punishment on these people. Given all that, I find it very difficult to talk about the United States as a noble country.”

Peter Oborne says the UK media is lying to you.

Watch; The British media think you’re an idiot Double Down News, 10 March 2026

Peter Oborne; “The British media think you’re an idiot, They are trying to convince you that a foreign war on behalf of Israel is in your interests. It’s time to expose the propagandists and the warmongers. They’re trying to tell you that this war is a defensive war. A blind man walking down the street can see that this is pure nonsense. It’s a war of aggression, the ultimate crime. These lies just don’t stop. We saw it in Iraq with Tony Blair’s lies about weapons of mass destruction, we saw it in the destruction of Gaza and now we’re seeing it in Iran, setting the entire Middle East and quite likely the world, on fire. So on day one, shortly after the assassination of Ayatollah Khomeini, a girls school was attacked. It seems there are about 175 killed, 100 more injured. The following day I picked up the Sunday papers, one of them is a Sunday Telegraph. I’ve been through it several times, there’s no mention of that at all. Imagine if 165 Israelis had been killed in a bomb from Iran, it would have been the story on the front page, it would have been covered everywhere. So I know the editor of the Sunday Telegraph, Allister Heath, I sent him an email saying why didn’t you cover this tragedy in the girls school? I’ve not received a reply. And then I read his leader, ‘The Iranian regime is built on an Islamist doctrine which cannot meaningfully be negotiated with’. It’s simply untrue. The Iranians do negotiate and they can absolutely be trusted as they stick to their promises. That was proven when Obama negotiated the JCPOA nuclear deal with Iran in 2015. They stuck to it until Trump walked away from it. And we know from the Omani Foreign Minister, Iranians were negotiating really hard to avoid a war. They’d actually offered a better deal than they’d signed off on in 2015. That was on the table. And that, of course, is when America and Israel struck. If we had a proper, functioning free media in Britain, we could never be dragged into wars like this one. But we don’t have a free media, we have an oligarch-owned media with the owners not in Britain, but dodging tax abroad. And the media has become a vital propaganda resource for the rich and the powerful and the violent.”

Westerners are backward

Watch; Intellectual Inbreds Middle Nation, 7 March 2026

Shahid Bolsen; “What I’m telling you is that the West, the collective West, Europe and America, represents centuries upon centuries of misguidance, Kufr (disbelief )and following Waswasa (satanic thoughts). These people are multi-generational victims of Shaitan (the devil). And one of the most insidious aspects of their supremacist mentality is that it seals them off from guidance. It makes them think that Waswasa is the voice of enlightened reason. Because they are the most influenced by Waswasa they think that they have a monopoly on reason and rationality, while they are, century after century, the most confused, misled, uncivilised, unevolved, backwards people on the planet. But Shaitan has inoculated them against self-awareness, against ever seeing themselves for how they really are. And part of how he did that was precisely by making them believe that they’re superior and everyone else is inferior. It’s like a cult. They can only be sustained by making sure that all of their members never talk to people outside of the cult. So they eventually become intellectual inbreds, only ever listening to their own version of reality. Their thoughts and perceptions are forever kept within their own ideological gene pool. So just like with actual inbreeding, they become mutants, deformed. Defects develop intellectually, ideologically, morally and in terms of character, that’s what happens when you base superiority on anything other than piety and righteousness. You start to give honour and importance to impious, wicked people just because they meet your criteria of value, irrelevant characteristics. And then that elevation and that honour gives validity and respectability to impiety and to wickedness. From there the mutations and the deformations just keep continuing on and on, generation after generation, and that’s the West. That’s what the West has done to their own people, which is why their people have done so much harm to the world. There are tragic people whose hands have wrought tragedies all around the globe. They aren’t saviours, they need to be saved themselves. And you’re doing yourselves and you’re doing them a gross disservice by thinking otherwise about them or by allowing them to think otherwise about themselves for even a second.”

Read; BBC editor’s libel case against Owen Jones falls at the first hurdle. Here’s why, Jonathan Cook, 13 March 2026

‘Raffi Berg may be fighting for damages, but it’s really the BBC in the dock – for being utterly wedded to an editor whose objectivity on Israel is so clearly in question.’

‘The High Court’s preliminary ruling this week in the libel case brought by the BBC’s online Middle East editor, Raffi Berg, against journalist Owen Jones is highly significant. It doesn’t settle the case – in fact, Berg’s lawyers say they intend to continue to a full hearing – but it does strike a blow against the Israel lobby’s years-long lawfare campaign to crush any meaningful criticism of Israel. Berg is suing Jones for publishing an article that described “civil war” at the BBC – largely between executives and managers, on one side, and journalists on the other – over the state broadcaster’s efforts to obscure the criminal nature of Israeli attacks on Gaza. The United Nations, international human rights organisations, Israeli human rights groups, and leading Holocaust scholars have all agreed that events in Gaza amount to a genocide. The western media, and most visibly the BBC, have all but banned the word “genocide” from their coverage. That has doubtless been a great comfort to both the Israeli and British governments, the latter having served as an active partner in the Gaza genocide. This week’s ruling means that, should Berg continue the case, Jones will have to defend his article as an expression of his “honest opinion” – based on the evidence supplied by BBC insiders – about Berg’s role in the corporation’s coverage of Gaza. Berg and his lawyers had hoped to force Jones to defend the article on the basis it was a “statement of fact”. This distinction is crucial. Had the judge agreed with Berg’s team, responsibility would have fallen on Jones to prove what amounts to intent by Berg to skew BBC coverage – something that, in the absence of internal documents revealing what was being said behind closed doors – would have been nigh impossible. Now the onus falls on Berg to show not only that Jones’ opinion was groundless but that Jones’ intent was to unfairly malign him. This time Berg and his lawyers won’t be able to rely simply on the usual antisemitism smears. They will actually have to produce evidence that Jones was acting in bad faith.’

‘Great news! The British government’s persecution of Kneecap’s Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, and its shameful efforts to shut down solidarity with Palestine, has failed again!

As he said; “This entire process was never about me, never about any threat to the public and never about ‘terrorism’, a word used by the British Government to discredit people you oppress both in Ireland and across the world. It was always about Palestine and about what happens if you dare to speak up. About what happens if you can reach large groups of people and expose their hypocrisy.”

Helena Paul’s brilliant report about the rise of corporate power by which corporations have shielded themselves from liability for corporate crime, arranged for corporations to be treated as individual people which entitles them to make unlimited political campaign donations in return for favours, and the infamous Investor-State Dispute Settlement by which corporations averse to any reduction in their profits, can sue governments that pass environmental, safety or health laws.

Read; Challenging corporate power and rights has never been so important; by Helena Paul, 9 September 2025

‘Directors of Corporations, shareholders and other personnel can knowingly cause harm to the public in the pursuit of profit, because the Corporate form – legal personhood (see above) – usually protects them from personal responsibility for their actions. This is called the corporate veil. However, they may become liable if they act in a way that threatens or compromises the company, e.g.: they commit fraud or steal company funds – or if they are considered to have set up the company to conceal or enable fraudulent activities. Under these circumstances the veil may be ‘pierced’ and they could be charged.

– Unlike human persons, the corporation is also potentially immortal, until actually closed down.

– Directors of corporations on behalf of that corporation can set up shell companies or subsidiaries that have no assets, employees or business operations. These shell companies are separate entities for whose actions, eg: carrying out the exploitation from which the parent company benefits, the parent corporation is not liable. However, in certain cases major efforts have been made to show that in fact the parent company exercised considerable control over the subsidiary (see the Vedanta case and the Okpabi case).


– Tax havens have been created to avoid paying taxes and to conceal the identity of those involved and their (often complex) interrelations. They are another issue that needs to be tackled, but obviously the rich elites and global corporations oppose this.

Created in the 1960s to protect former colonizers’ property assets from newly independent states11, these are heavily weighted in favour of the corporations. Only corporations can bring cases, not states – and they can bring them:

1. Against states that do not want to allow them to exploit resources on their land:

For example, the UK company Rockhopper brought a case against Italy in 2017 for refusing to allow oil exploitation in the Adriatic Sea. It claimed $350 million dollars to cover not just its exploration costs, but also what it claims to be ‘lost profits’. The company’s legal costs are fully funded by UK litigation funder Harbour and the litigation is based on the Energy Charter Treaty, even though Italy quit that Treaty before the case was brought. However, there is often a ‘zombie’ clause in investment agreements that allows corporations to sue states for up to 20 years after that state withdraws from the agreement. In August 2022, the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes awarded Rockhopper 185 million EUR plus interest, a total of 240 million EUR.

B. Against states that accuse them of causing damage:

Ecuador sued Texaco for damaging its rainforests while extracting oil. Texaco, which merged with Chevron in 2001, counter-sued Ecuador for damage to its reputation. To date, after a long and complex process, Chevron has paid nothing for the damage done, rejecting the judgment of the court in Ecuador that Chevron should pay 9 billion USD, claiming fraud and corruption, a decision then upheld by the Permanent Court of Arbitration in the Hague. Texaco did a minor clean-up in Lago Agrio, widely recognised as completely inadequate. But as noted above it is claimed by Chevron that the process carried out in Ecuador against Chevron was completely corrupt.’

Epstein’s blackmail is why Trump and Lindsey Graham throw Americans under the bus and not Netanyahu.

Watch; One word answer? Epstein! The Cradle, 15 March 2026

Sharmine Narwani; “What kind of power do these people have on Donald Trump that prevents him from throwing Bibi under the bus instead of Americans?”

Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to US Secretary of State; “You want a one word answer? Epstein. He knows if this is outed in any reasonably accurate and fulsome way, his presidency’s ended. Lindsey Graham knows his senatorship is ended because Lindsey Graham is in there. Lindsey is an alcoholic and Lindsey has a predilection for certain things that Epstein offered. So if you look at what the rumours say about Lindsey Graham, you have to imagine he that he’s deeply in the Epstein business. They’re blackmailing people. Look at Ehud Barak. Look back at the talks, the Oslo talks and how they disrailed and the way they disrael caught Arafat completely by surprise. And I’ve talked to people who were in those talks and they were stunned that they were making so much progress and all of a sudden Barak in particular, but Clinton too, derailed the talks. And think about Barak being one of the most prolific visitors to Epstein’s Island. And think about Clinton. You can’t make this stuff up.”

Watch; Tony Blair met Jeffrey Epstein while Prime Minister; mon.ernuk, 23 February 2026

“On May 14 2002 Jeffrey Epstein walked into 10 Downing street for a private meeting with Tony Blair. Why? Because Peter Mandelson, our Prime Minister’s right hand man, demanded it. And it’s still impacting our government today. Leaked emails prove that Mandelson relentlessly lobbied the PN staff, calling Epstein safe, vibrant and a friend. Why? Because he was a captured asset. He called the convicted predator his best mate, stayed on his island and received at least $75,000 into accounts, benefiting him in 2003 and 4. Now, for context, Mandelson is that bloke that spent years destroying Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership to clear the path for Keir Starmer. And Starmer rewarded him with the ambassadorship to the US until he was sacked last year. Why? Because the Epstein files show that Mandelson leaked British market secrets for Epstein during the 2008 crash. And it gets worse. Mandelson’s lobbying firm now represents Palantir, the US spy tech firm that just took over our NHS data for half a billion pounds. And the primary partner cashing in on that deal, Tony Blair’s son, Ewan Blair. The same network that got Epstein into Downing street in 2002, is now running the NHS. This is episode one of the UK Epstein scandal.”

Katie Halper; “Can you clarify what you meant earlier when you said Israel’s Epstein button?”

Haim Bresheeth; “Epstein had between 5 and 10 million files. We’re talking about one of the greatest database of crime, probably the greatest ever. I don’t think any Mafia organisation can compete with Epstein. And we have to ask ourselves a simple question. Why? What was he collecting all this for? He’s an amateur collector of emails, of spicy pictures, sexy behaviour and worse, paedophilia and the rest of it? I don’t think this was just a madness of Epstein. It was functional. He was collecting evidence. Now, who was he collecting evidence for? Some people are trying to hide their tracks by saying that he was collecting evidence for Russia. This is basically a Mafia collection of evidence about people that can be used by those who have the evidence, and therefore there are Epstein buttons for every politician in the west and they use them. We could see that President Trump was not very happy when Netanyahu came to see him, because Netanyahu came to give him orders. And that’s what you’re going to do, Donald, and if you don’t do that, we press the Epstein button. He’s entrapped not just by the Epstein button, but by the zionist millionaires and billionaires who are financing him. All the gifts that he has collected, and now he is a prisoner of a whole system which for the first time is very visible. It’s very difficult to deny it and he is very worried. He’s doing his best to keep the last bit of thousands and thousands of files which include him, invisible. I hope he fails because I believe in the wish of Americans for a democracy.”

Read; Epstein’s Seven, ESC, 27 February 2026

Seven research topics. Four layers. One system. Nobody investigating the Epstein files has mapped the seven research topics onto what was actually built. What follows does so.

Executive Summary; “Four months after getting out of prison in 2009, Jeffrey Epstein sent an email laying out a plan to fund seven research projects. On the surface, they looked like the random interests of a wealthy guy — things like genetics, AI, happiness, the financial system, brain science, math, and political power. At the time, no one saw how they were connected. This essay connects them. Because when you look at all seven together and compare them to what was actually built over the next ten years, they turn out to be parts of one big system: a new way of running global finance where money becomes programmable, every transaction is checked against social and environmental goals, and anything that doesn’t meet those goals can’t get funded. The essay follows the trail from Epstein’s emails all the way to the financial rules and systems now being run through the Bank for International Settlements, global banking regulations, and digital currency projects around the world. It names the people, the money, the organisations, and the documents — all taken from files released by the Department of Justice. The question it raises is straightforward: in a system where every pound, dollar, and yuan has to serve a centrally decided version of the ‘common good’, who gets to decide what ‘good’ means — and why did no one ever vote for them?’

Listen; Escape Key: Extraordinary writer worth reading, UK Column News, 2 March 2026

Ben Rubin; “I want to just very quickly flag up some work that Escape Key has been doing over on Substack. So if you’re not familiar, Escape Key is a writer and a systems thinker and he’s been very active on Twitter and then moved to Substack about a year or so ago. We did interview him last August, I think it was talking about the central banking system, there’s a huge amount of material on his substack. I’ll just direct your attention to these six articles which do fit together. It’s quite a lot here. It’s very technical, but it is extraordinary analysis. And essentially what he’s done is map out how the Rothschild Foundation, through a series of events between 2014 and 2018, disseminated the requirements for a digital monetary system, which is now being built by the Bank of International Settlements and is the primary enforcement mechanism for the UN SDG agenda. And the best example of the integrated technology stack is the one that’s been built in India. So this exactly what we’ve just been talking about, and so this was formulated through the Rothschild Foundation. The Bank of International Settlements is now essentially the UN’s primary control mechanism. And he then links that into the Epstein releases, the recent tranches that have come out at the end of January. And then also looking at the WikiLeaks emails that exposed a lot of what Hillary Clinton was doing about 10, 15 years ago. It’s an extraordinary piece of work, It’s fully sourced, it’s all public domain information and we’ll put a link to it.“

Watch; Palantir is the new Jeffrey Epstein, Wide Awake Media, 3 March 2026

Whitney Webb, Investigative Journalist; “They don’t really need blackmail anymore. And I argue at the end of my book that Palentir, Peter Thiel’s company really makes it so that that’s the new Jeffrey Epstein at the end of the day. If they want to blackmail you or know something about you, they just access what Palantir sucked up about you and your search history, your communications, your finances, tweets you’ve liked in the past, all sorts of things. You don’t really need Epstein in the surveillance era.”

Presenter; “Do you think when they said tweets are private, it was just an inducement to get us all to like what we really want to like so they can hold it against us later?”

Whitney Webb; ” It’s possible if they want to hold it against you later. The disturbing thing about Palantir is that it’s really about pre-crime, they were the pioneers of predictive policing. Almost everywhere they piloted predictive policing had been low income, minority neighbourhoods where they decide who’s going to commit a crime before they commit it. We’ll see administrative detention, maybe if we go the Israeli path. But Trump actually, in his first term posited this programme to stop mass shootings before they happen, that would basically involve going over American social media posts and identifying if they had early warning signs of neuro-psychiatric illness based on their tweets or Facebook posts. And if they were determined by the algorithm to show those warning signs, they could be placed under house arrest or go to sessions with a court-ordered psychologist and all sorts of things.

It’s worth pointing out that a lot of social media companies like Facebook have a lot of ties to Peter Thiel at the same time he was setting up Palantir, and that Facebook has a lot of similarities to a failed DARPA project called Lifelog that arguably Facebook was resurrected into because Palantir is the resurrection of another DARPA programme called Total Information Awareness that was so scandalous when it was announced it was defunded by Congress. But then they realised that if they turned it into a private company, no one would complain, and that’s how we got Palantir.”

Watch; Is Israel Taking Over US Media Through 2 Billionaires? The Grayzone, 12 March 2026

Kae Pritsker; “CBS News has been doing the most over the top one sided coverage of the war on Iran. And this is because the company was just taken over by zionist billionaire David Ellison. But what’s crazy is that as of last week, David Ellison became the owner of one of the largest media conglomerates in history. David and his father Larry Ellison just bought Warner Brothers Discovery in a massive $110 billion deal that merges Warner Bros. with David’s company, ParamountSkydance. This deal gives the Ellisons control over HBO, Paramount Plus, CNN, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, MTV, BET, Harry Potter, DC and all of this. This is also the same Larry Ellison that became one of the top shareholders of TikTok through his company Oracle. All of this has caused many people to ask the question, is there an Israeli plan to take over the US media? Now the Ellisons are huge zionists. Larry Ellison is one of the largest donors to Friends of the IDF, and he’s also really good friends with Benjamin Netanyahu who vacations on Larry Ellison’s private Hawaiian island and even got offered a seat on the board of Oracle. But just because the Ellisons are zionists doesn’t mean that there’s a coordinated Israeli plot to take over the US media, right? Well, not exactly. Since October 7th, Israel has been trying to shore up its rapidly declining support by buying media influence in America, which it often calls its eighth front war. Israel recently quadrupled its state propaganda budget for 2026. And in September, Netanyahu started openly courting American conservative influencers in a meeting where he told them that they were digital soldiers for Israel and that their top weapon was TikTok.”

Netanyahu; “We have to secure that part of the base of our support in the United States, that is being challenged. How do we fight back our influencers? The most important purchase that is going on right now is TikTok and I hope it goes through because it’s, it can be consequential.”

Kae Pritsker; “The deal that he’s referring to obviously did go through and put his good friend Larry Ellison’s Oracle on the board. As soon as the new owners took over, they appointed a new CEO, Adam Presser, who admitted at last year’s World Jewish Congress that he helped label criticism of zionism a form of hate speech on TikTok.”

Adam Presser; “We made a change to designate the use of the term zionist as a proxy for a protected attribute as hate speech. Calling somebody a zionist as a dirty name that gets designated as hate speech.”

Kae Pritsker; “David recently took over CBS where he appointed lifelong zionist Barry Weiss to editor in chief, which is interesting because CBS never had an editor in chief and as soon as she took over she started promoting pro-Israel reporters into top roles. Now David Ellison owns CNN and it’s already being reported that Bari Weiss will play a big role there. What plans do the Ellisons have for all of the other media outlets that they now own? Whatever those plans may be, what’s clear is that Israel is waging the eighth front war in America. It’s just not a shooting war.”

Shahid Bolsen; “At least 6 million Congolese were killed. But King Leopold is not the archetype of evil that Adolf Hitler is. Between 3 to 4 million Indians were starved to death. But Winston Churchill isn’t Hitler. Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jefferson, Ulysses S. Grant, all of them were genocidal killers. Napoleon Bonaparte in Haiti, in the Caribbean, in Algeria, and Charles de Gaulle in Algeria. None of those are Hitler. No, the fact of the matter is that Hitler was not unique. He was absolutely on par. He was on par for the course. I mean, if Hitler had not attacked Anglo Saxons, Europe and America would not have batted an eye at his atrocities. Because you’ve all done it. You’ve all done what he did. You’ve all done what Hitler did. Your pantheon of historical heroes and your pantheon of leaders from the past, it’s nothing but a rogues gallery. And all of your official villains in history is just a mirror reflection of yourselves. Hitler’s just a reflection of you. All of you. And I’m saying the global South, Africa especially, they’ve dealt with you so moderately, they’ve dealt with you so patiently, they’ve dealt with you so generously in such a civilised and a decent manner because they are that way themselves. That’s their nature. And because their fledgling decolonization efforts were undertaken at a time when they were still vulnerable. So they dealt with you as if you are normal people, as if you’re like them. Even though they themselves had experienced your brutality and your savagery, they didn’t want to be rough with you, they didn’t want to be harsh with you. They wanted to try to maintain some degree of harmony and goodwill. But you’re not a people who understand that, you’re not a people who respect that, you’re not people who appreciate that. And I’m saying the Global south needs to deal with you the way you really are. Now, I’m not talking about aggression, I’m not talking about violence. I’m just saying it seems to me that the Global south needs to cut you out as much as possible. They need to cut you out because you can’t be trusted. You can’t be relied upon to ever be fair, to ever be mature, to ever be reasonable. Because you’ve got killer instincts. You’re always going to sting because that’s just what you do. And it isn’t intelligent to ever expect you to do otherwise. I’m telling you they can’t help themselves, there’s something wrong with them. You need to be as far away as possible. If you try to shake their hand, you’re going to find yourself in handcuffs, believe me. They’re the biggest criminals in history. They’re the biggest criminals in history with the longest and most atrocious criminal record in history. They’re not in any position whatsoever to moralise or to sermonise or to demonise anyone. So you have to make a decision in the global south whether you’re going to protect your people, protect your nation, protect your sovereignty, or placate the West. The west built a mansion with your money and they turned it into a crack house. And if you let them into your house now, they’ll do the same thing to yours.”

Drawing on the Rothschild Archive London — correspondence from over one hundred business agents working for the various Rothschild houses — Liedtke documented a recruitment and intelligence operation that spanned the European continent and reached into Latin America for most of the nineteenth century. The paper describes a system in which agents were placed in locations where the Rothschild banks did not maintain a permanent presence. These agents carried out business transactions, gathered political and economic intelligence, and forwarded information that enabled the family to make decisions ahead of competitors and, frequently, ahead of even governments.’

“Are you watching or waiting? Are you awake or asleep? Are you questioning or staying silent? Or are you completely indifferent, meaning you have given up? Sadly, most in this country are waiting, asleep, silent, and avoiding at all costs the importance of reality and truth, and are living in fear. This seems to be the normal attitude of the bulk of this population, and that is a vital sign of capitulation to the governing forces and rule, and to mass acceptance of physical, psychological, and financial slavery. While most are only reading or watching headlines, and being completely distracted from the real agendas, concentrating on ‘mass shootings,’ the Epstein files, evil political figures, manipulated weather events, the U.S. military shooting down party balloons, Trump’s multiple lawsuits against everyone, Trump’s takeover of other countries, domestic war and the fake “war on drugs,” transgender madness, and right and left propaganda, this country and the world are in the middle of a monstrous transformation from what is mis-labeled as a ‘democratic’ constitutional republic, to a full out technocratic prison.

What is now certain, is that we live in a totalitarian and fascist nation-state, that is bent on the total destruction of the individual, in favor of a top-down technocratic ruling system that would design, surveil, monitor, and control every individual allowed to remain alive after the global reset of all societies. Please refrain from playing the ludicrous ‘conspiracy theory’ card here, as that is just a sign of an immense ignorance of reality on the part of uniformed nationalist puppets who go to extreme lengths in order to remain braindead followers of the State apparatus. We are in the midst of over a hundred year plan to concentrate global power into the hands of several geographic technates, where the very few in each sector would control the world by technocratic means.”

We know that AI could transform society for good, but right now power-hungry billionaires like Musk, Altman and Karp are in full control of the technology – and seem oblivious or indifferent to the harm it could cause.

Their cavalier approach to safety has already created serious risks – like tools that amateurs can use to design deadly viruses, suicide chat bots, and lucrative deals with militaries while their models reportedly default to suggesting nuclear attacks in ‘war games’. The stakes could not be higher.That’s why Ekō members around the world are calling for political and business leaders to commit to five principles to govern the future of AI:

– Humans are in the driving seat: Humanity must remain in control of the technologies it creates.
– AI must not wipe out humanity and create catastrophic and existential risks: We must safeguard humanity from the catastrophic and existential risks posed by advanced AI.
– Human rights and democracy must be protected: We must safeguard human rights and democracy against the misuse of AI.
– AI companies and their users are on the hook for harms: We must ensure AI is regulated in the public interest, with clear accountability for both developers and users.
– Environmental and climate impacts must be minimized: We must protect nature and the climate from environmental harms that result from AI development.

Palantir, which provides AI for the IDF genocide, has been contracted to run NHS data.

Listen; Iran: Latest on Day 21 of US Israel attacks UK Column News, 20 March 2026

Basil Valentine; “It turns out that large British pension companies are invested in Palantir. First of all, Legal and General, who provide pensions for, amongst others, Tesco and some of Britain’s other biggest corporate employers. They’ve got about £1.6 billion invested in Palantir, apparently. So this is really starting to undermine the company’s credibility and indeed the credibility of those companies that support it. Something else really very disturbing has come to light. And this is a clip of Yanis Varoufakis, the former Greek finance minister, speaking to Rania Khalek a few days ago about how data gathered from atrocities taking place in Gaza is going to be reworked and used as a model for aspects of the NHS. This really is very ghoulish stuff, particularly when you bear in mind company chairman Peter Thiel’s obsession with the Antichrist. He’s in Rome giving lectures about the Antichrist, much to the consternation of the Vatican. But let’s see this clip of Yanis Varoufakis, who still operates at a high level. And this is really off the charts.”

Yanis Varoufakis; “I was sitting next to a Palantir scientist, engineer, whatever you might call them, during a dinner and the conversation with other people around the table was about Gaza. And this gentleman next to me suddenly started experiencing a kind of excitement, having heard the word Gaza. I don’t think he listened to what the conversation was. He was talking to somebody else and he said, ‘oh, Gaza, Gaza was fantastic for us’. He meant Palantir. And I said, ‘yeah, well, you know what? Tens of thousands of children being maimed and killed was fantastic? He said, ‘no, no, no, that was terrible’, and he pointed at my phone, which was sitting on the table. And he said, ‘your phone now is useless to me because it’s not moving, it’s not going anywhere. If it’s stationary, it doesn’t produce data. But if you bombard a densely populated area, people with their phones run around a lot, they produce a lot of data. They pick up a phone, they call the relatives, they try to find out if their loved ones are maimed or dead or alive or whatever and we train’, that’s what he said, ‘we train our AI programmes on this wealth of data that came out of Gaza in circumstances that create panic’. And I said, ‘yeah, okay, can you explain to me what you got out of that?’ He said, ‘well, we just sold a programme, an AI programme to the British National Health Service for £1 billion’. Then I found out that it was done through the Tony Blair Institute, involving Tony Blair’s son, to the National Health Service in Britain. And what they’re going to be using, this programme that was trained on the death and destruction of people in Gaza.”

Russian leaders who speak out against Israel could be eliminated according to a IDF spokesperson who warns that Israel can hack into Russian traffic cameras and use the data to assassinate leaders in the same way as they have been doing in Iran. Now it turns out the same surveillance software, BriefCam is being used all over the world including the UK (see last para below) although it has been banned in France as it violates privacy laws.

Read; IDF threatens ‘elimination’ for Russian leaders who ‘wish Israel ill’, Wyatt Reed, 18 March 2026

‘Israel’s veiled threat to Moscow came just after Russian media warned traffic cameras in Moscow were vulnerable to the same exploits that Israel reportedly used to monitor Ayatollah Khamenei’s residence before assassinating him. Israeli military spokeswoman Anna Ukolova has drawn outrage in Moscow after threatening that Russian authorities who “wish Israel ill” could be subject to “elimination,” while suggesting Israel could hack into Russian closed-circuit television cameras to identify and track targets. Asked by a journalist with Russian radio broadcaster RBC whether Israel had access to Russian traffic cameras, Ukolova declined to answer directly but warned that “Khamenei’s elimination shows our capabilities are serious” and that “no one who wishes us harm will be left aside.” She added, ominously, “I hope Moscow does not wish Israel ill right now – I’d like to believe that.” In response to a post by Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin, who wrote that the IDF spokeswoman threatened that “Russian authorities [will] be killed if they take [an] anti-Israel position,” Ukolova claimed Dugin was spreading “fake news.” But she declined to clarify how her remarks had been incorrectly interpreted. Ukolova’s statements came just days after it was revealed that a large number of Russian CCTVs were potentially using BriefCam – an Israeli video analysis software that closely matches the description of a program the Netanyahu regime reportedly deployed to track Iranian movements outside the home of Iran’s Supreme Leader before they assassinated him during their February 28 sneak attack.’

On March 12, Russian outlet Mash revealed that the Israeli software BriefCam “has been used in Russia by private providers since the 2010s.” Founded at Israel’s Hebrew University in 2007, BriefCam uses AI to let users “review hours of video in minutes” and “make [their] video searchable, actionable and quantifiable.” In 2024, BriefCam was absorbed by a Dutch subsidiary of the Canon Group named Milestone Systems, which publicly pledges to “amplify what organizations of any size can see, do and achieve with video.”

“Our patented VIDEO SYNOPSIS® technology condenses hours of surveillance into a short summary by overlaying multiple events—each tagged with its original timestamp—onto a single frame, letting you filter them by object type and attributes,” the company’s BriefCam page crows. An analysis by Al Jazeera revealed those attributes include “gender, age group, clothing, movement patterns and time spent in a given location.”

Originally deployed by Israel’s Ministry of Housing and Construction to safeguard illegal settlements in occupied East Jerusalem, BriefCam has been used by governments all over the world, including those in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Pakistan, Israel, Mexico, United Arab Emirates, Canada, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Brazil, Germany, South Africa, Netherlands, Australia, Japan, India, Spain, Taiwan. It’s also been deployed in the US, with police in Hartford, Connecticut adopting the software in 2022. In 2025, a French court found the government’s use of BriefCam was illegal, citing multiple violations of French and European privacy laws. As of publication, BriefCam appears to be incorporated into dozens of so-called “video monitoring systems,” including Milestone’s own VMS XProtect surveillance system.’

In the UK Column episode below, Basil Valentine reports on the publication of The Independent Gaza Tribunal that uncovers the scale of British complicity in Gaza’s genocide, on Germany ending its support for Israel in the ICJ (International Court of Justice) Gaza genocide case, and on the injuries suffered by UK journalist Steve Sweeney while reporting for RT on Israel’s bombing of bridges over the Litani River to secure their theft of Southern Lebanon.

Listen; Iran: Latest on Day 21 of US Israel attacks; UK Column News, 20 March 2026

Basil Valentine; “Although you’d hardly know it from the scant reporting in the corporate syndicate press, The Independent Gaza Tribunal published its findings this week. It had testimony from witnesses including journalists, medics, academics, survivors, international law experts and whistleblowers doing a job that should really have been undertaken by the Crown Prosecution Service. But of course they’ve been preoccupied with arresting elderly clergymen and peace campaigners holding pieces of paper. The aim of the tribunal was to ‘uncover the full scale of British complicity in genocide’ and it concluded that ‘the British government failed in its fundamental obligation to prevent genocide as per the Geneva Convention’, and further, that Britain has, and I quote, ‘been complicit in atrocity crimes and in some instances actively participated in them‘. The co-author Shaad Hamuri warned that humanity has crossed a red line of genocide, accusing top UK officials of lying, manipulating the law and protecting the interests of foreign governments and big businesses, not the British public. The former Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn co-authored the report and he said that ‘the tribunal aimed to serve as a landmark contribution to the campaign for justice and as a historical repository of evidence for generations to come’. He went on to highlight ‘Britain’s strategic role,’ noting that ‘Britain, although not the biggest arms contributor to Israel, is nevertheless a crucial part of it, partly because of the RAF base in Akrotiri, the sharing of intelligence information, and because of the way the US has a significant military presence in Britain to load up the B52s to bomb Iran. This whole process’, he went on, ‘has eroded Britain’s standing in the world, eroded our commitment to international law, to the United Nations, to human rights, to international justice through the ICC and the ICJ.’

So, of course, the atrocities haven’t finished either. It turns out that we’re going to hear in a moment about Steve Sweeney, the rockets that landed within a few feet of him, causing him injury in Lebanon that it’s believed may have been made by Raphael, a company with British operation which is headed up by Lord Hutton, a Labour peer. And of course, the spy flights include the one that was in the air when the World Kitchen British aid workers James Kirby, James Henderson and John Chapman were murdered in Gaza in April 2024. The Ministry of Defence holds video surveillance from that day but is refusing to publish it. And of course, we don’t know whether Palantir software played a part in that particular atrocity.”

Mike Robinson; “And Basil, Germany has decided to withdraw legal backing for Israel in the ICJ case.”

Basil Valentine; “Yeah, this is significant. Germany has been one of Israel’s staunchest supporters throughout the genocide, but they appear to have had some change of heart because they’ve withdrawn their support for Israel in the ICJ case. So that significantly weakens the Israeli side because they were the only major European country doing so. It’ll now be the USA and Israel versus the rest of the world.”

Patrick Henningsen; “This is a British journalist who works for RT International, he is the station chief and lead correspondent in Beirut, Lebanon. Very important location for international news. He’s a war correspondent here. Watch what happened while he was filing one of his recent reports about a bridge collapse in Southern Lebanon. (Rocket explodes sending debris and shrapnel into th air) Not just a random shell falling there, I can assure you here. Steve Sweeney took to social media. He sustained injuries there, today he says ‘Israel tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people. An ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba’. He’s talking about the ethnic cleansing of Palestine by Israelis in 1947 and 1948 here. So he says, ‘no doubt this was deliberate’, according to him here. Now, Steve Sweeney is recovering from his injuries. Here he is explaining what happened and also what would happen to him.”

Steve Sweeney; “Well, you’ve probably all seen the footage of the airstrike that took place as we were reporting on the destruction of a bridge. We’ve been treated in hospital for our injuries. I had a shrapnel wound in my arm, deeply embedded in the muscle here that’s been taken out and here it is in this pot here. But what I do want to say is that this was a deliberate targeted attack on journalists. There’s no mistake about it. This was an Israeli precision strike from a fighter jet. What we were doing was we were reporting on the attacks on bridges, which is effectively severing south Lebanon from the rest of the country. One million people are now internally displaced. This is the real story, it’s not about us coming under attack as journalists. What we’re seeing now and what we were reporting on is this plan for Israel to ethnically cleanse the south of Lebanon. This is without doubt an attack. This is on the scale or bigger than the scale of the Nakba, this is the forced displacement of a million people, which remains a war crime. And also we have to say that attacking journalists is a war crime. Attacking civilian infrastructure is a war crime. But if they think that they’re going to silence us, if they think that we’re going to stay out of the field, they’re very, very much mistaken.”

Watch; False Flags and Fallen Republics: Iran, 9/11, and the Architecture of Manufactured Enemies; Matt Ehret; 26 March 2026

Intro; “Mike Robinson is joined by Canadian historian and geopolitical analyst Matt Ehret to examine the false flag playbook from ancient Rome to the present day and how it is once again being deployed, this time with Iran as the designated enemy.

‘They begin with the collapse of the Roman Republic: the glorification of violence, the manufactured enemies, and the role of mystery cults in corrupting civic life — and ask how directly those dynamics map onto the present West. From there, Matt traces the deep history of Western intelligence sponsorship of radical Islamist movements, from Brzezinski’s Operation Cyclone in 1979 through to the creation and deployment of al-Qaeda, ISIS, and the broader instrumentalisation of Salafism as a geopolitical tool — including its incubation in British mosques and its contribution to domestic polarisation.

The conversation turns to the specific problem of Iran. Matt argues that blaming Shia Iran for Sunni-linked terrorism requires the public to remain ignorant of basic sectarian distinctions and that the narrative groundwork now being laid mirrors the pre-9/11 psychological preparation almost exactly: sleeper cell warnings, cyber threat scenarios, and a media environment softening opinion for strikes or a wider war.

Matt examines 9/11 in detail, including the WTC7 anomalies, Larry Silverstein’s insurance arrangements, the mysterious Gelatin art collective operating on the 91st and 92nd floors of the North Tower before the attacks, and the Pentagon’s Dark Winter and plane-hijacking tabletop exercises held months beforehand. He recommends the documentary Codex 9/11 as the most comprehensive treatment of the evidence.

They also discuss Pete Hegseth’s American Crusade, the Templar and Jesuit lineages running through occult power structures, the BioShield Act’s expansion of Pentagon bioweapons programmes, and the use of biolabs in Ukraine, Georgia and South Korea. The programme closes with Matt’s advice on how to build genuine, rooted knowledge as a defence against psyops — and where listeners can go to start.’

Read; Trump Has No Soul; Chris Hedges; Mar 26

Intro; ‘Trump is dangerous not simply because of his imbecility and unbridled narcissism, but because he lacks the core attributes of empathy and understanding that define the human soul.’

‘The most profound realities of human existence are often the ones that can never be measured or quantified. Wisdom. Beauty. Truth. Compassion. Courage. Love. Loneliness. Grief. The struggle to face our own mortality. A life of meaning.

But perhaps the greatest conundrum is the concept of a soul. Do we have a soul? Do societies have souls? And, most basically, what is a soul?

Philosophers and theologians, including Plato, Aristotle, Augustine and Arthur Schopenhauer, have all grappled with the concept of a soul, with Schopenhauer preferring to define the mystical force within us as will. Sigmund Freud used the Greek word psyche. But most have accepted, whatever the definition, some version of a soul’s existence.

While the concept of the soul is opaque, soullessness is not. Soullessness means something inside of us is dead. Basic human feelings and connections are shut down. Those without souls lack empathy. I saw the soulless in war. Those so calcified inside they kill without any demonstrable feeling or remorse.

The soulless exist in a state of insatiable self-worship. The idol they have erected to themselves must be constantly fed. It demands a never-ending stream of victims. It demands abject obedience and subservience, publicly on display at Trump cabinet meetings.

Psychologists, I expect, would define the soulless as psychopathic.

I write this not to get into an esoteric debate about the soul, but to warn what happens when those without souls seize power. I want to write about what is lost and the consequences of that loss. I want to caution you that death, our death — as individuals and as a collective — mean nothing to those without souls.’

Read; The Age of Peace; Charles Eisenstein, 26 March 2026

To exchange the identity of hero and villain does not undo the basic pattern. This has sometimes been the approach of the political left. America is not the hero, it is the monster. The rogue state is not Iran, it is ourselves. White people are not better than brown people, they are worse. Industry is not the benefactor of the world, it is the destroyer. Modern cultures are not superior to the indigenous; it’s the other way around. Flipping the script like this serves a useful function, which is to reveal the hero’s shadows, to fill in the untold parts of the story. The aforementioned maturation of the hero requires that he know himself as he has been. However, to reverse the roles in the good-guy/bad-guy drama does nothing to change the drama itself.

The oppressed become the oppressor, the victim becomes the abuser, the hero becomes the villain, the solution becomes the problem, endlessly cycling until we inhabit a new story.

The age of peace runs a different screenplay. The hero/villain drama, the victim-abuser-rescuer drama, the us-versus-them drama may never disappear entirely (just ask the antelope), but it will no longer be the template for understanding every conflict. We will bring other plot lines into the theater that draw on interdependency, interbeing, and the Mirror Principle. We will ask, “What are the conditions that made you who you are?” “How have I contributed to those conditions?” “What can we do together to change them?” Conflicts may still arise, but we will no longer battle cartoon versions of real people and real nations painted in the hues of our own unhealed histories.

Turning attention to the wounds and maladies that we no longer externalize, we can finally begin to heal them. The age of peace will therefore be also an age of health and an age of prosperity. All that has languished while we were busy fighting ourselves will grow strong. That is true for an individual, it is true for a family, it is true for a nation, and it is true for this earth.’

Read; Gates Foundation Funds Injectable Hydrogel Vaccine Tested Against H5N1 Bird Flu by Jon Fleetwood, 4 March 2026

‘The Gates Foundation–funded research conducted at Stanford University describes an experimental hydrogel vaccine platform designed to remain in tissue and release vaccine components for weeks, including formulations targeting H5N1 bird flu. The system relies on a polymer hydrogel depot that traps vaccine components under the skin and releases them gradually over time. Scientific literature examining key ingredients used in the platform raises significant safety concerns. Studies of the hydrogel polymer poloxamer 407 show that when it was used as a delivery medium in animal experiments, it reduced the lethal dose of bacterial endotoxin by 10–15 fold, meaning animals were far more likely to die from the toxin when the polymer was present. Research on the immune-stimulating adjuvant 3M-052 has documented severe inflammatory reactions, cytokine release syndrome, and dose-limiting toxicities in human trials, including a treatment-related death, while earlier primate studies reported ulceration and severe injection-site damage at higher doses. This shows that the same materials used to construct the experimental hydrogel vaccine system are capable of triggering powerful inflammatory responses and serious adverse effects under certain conditions, raising important questions about safety as long-acting vaccine delivery technologies continue to be developed.’

‘The meningococcal B (MenB) vaccine BEXSERO contains bioengineered bacterial proteins—including chimeric (“Frankenstein”) antigens—and aluminum, while FDA regulatory documents and clinical trial data show that up to 96% of recipients experience adverse reactions and as many as 29% report reactions severe enough to interfere with normal daily activity. These findings come from multiple primary sources, including the FDA’s full prescribing information, the manufacturer’s patient information leaflet, a large clinical study, and federal toxicology data from the CDC’s Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). The FDA and manufacturer documents show that the MenB vaccine can produce fever, headache, vomiting, irritability, seizures, and neurologic events—symptom categories that overlap with the clinical presentation of meningococcal disease itself. Meningitis B vaccinations are now being given to 15 and 16-year-olds in UK schools in response to a reported outbreak.’

Provoked War With Russia

Kay-Achim Schönbach; “Some other nations in the European Commission are not of the calibre to always make the right decisions in these difficult and dangerous times. I asked why we are not discussing Russia’s security concerns or why we have stopped discussing them. I can only say that my impression is that following its victory in the Cold War, the West believes it’s now the right to determine the fate of all nations in Europe, including Russia, apparently. This has proven to be a fatal mistake, given the support for Ukraine, which I still find incomprehensible. Once again, it’s not a sign of weakness on the part of the Western world to accommodate the Russian Federation on certain points. I think the ultimate goal should always, striving for national interest, be peace, reconciliation, balance and good trade relations. It cannot be our goal to ensure that the Russian Federation, other countries like that, runs the risk of being weakened to such an extent that it feels compelled to strike back. What we face right now. What we need are talks at the highest level. I think probably we’ll come to this, ceasefires and peace offers of all kinds, and I say it again, acceptance of new realities. I now understand that that must be very difficult for any Ukrainian patriot to accept the cession of territory from their country to the Russian Federation. I just tell you that because I was asked in this interview just yesterday evening, even though I’m only marginally involved, I can understand this very well and would probably think and react in a similar way if I was Ukrainian. But now it is a matter of ending the death and suffering. And this is not just a saying. There’s no alternative to this, in this respect. After the missed opportunity in Istanbul from the Istanbul papers in April 22, Kiev must once again ask itself whether the handover of the Donbas region, or the rest of the Donbas region not occupied right now, to the Russian Federation is a painful contribution to peace, but I think a necessary one.

What I don’t believe is that Putin woke up in the morning and decided, hey, now I’m reestablishing the Soviet Union. I think that’s nonsense. There are undoubtedly political reasons following the Maidan coup in which Russia felt it had been sidelined without being consulted. There are historical reasons as we were just told about, because we never forget these provinces like Crimea, as I said, was originally given to Ukraine by Russia by Secretary-General Khrushchev. The former was mainly for economic reasons to make Ukraine viable, as I said, but there are ethnic reasons we’re just talking about. But I think the most important aspect seems to be the most obvious. Throughout its history, we’re not looking just on Crimea, but also the Donbas, triggered by its experiences Russia has always wanted to have a buffer between itself and potential conquerors, and the conquerors in their past were always coming from the west, not from the south, not from the east, north of course. Ukraine as a neutral country was acceptable even, and they say it during the negotiations with the US following the meeting from Putin and Trump in Anchorage in Alaska, they could say, okay Ukraine could be a partner in the EU or a member of the EU. This could be acceptable, but a possible staging ground for NATO partners on its western border is completely unacceptable. And this was re-said in 2008 in Bucharest. So in summary, I believe that this conquest was, I don’t know I wasn’t there, but it seems to be what was not seriously planned. It was too amateurishly executed for that. But now it is a matter of containing NATO in Eastern Europe. I think this is the main goal what they have, forming a buffer. Again, let them be a partner or a member in the EU, Ukraine, and that’s it. And I don’t want to skip to the next question but to the next other field, but it’s the same what was was negotiated in Bucharest, this is Georgia. We had already this Russian-Georgia war in case that NATO probably left his hand out on Georgia, we couldn’t get the next problem. I hope we have wise people in the the capitals not to do that.”

Glenn Diesen; “Restarting that one would be a massive mistake. But again, we learned enough lessons from this war. Well, hopefully the right lessons. But if you would put up a solution for this because I know that a German in the EU parliament, Michael von der Schulenburg, who has written these letters signed by General Harald Kujat, in terms of how they envision an end to this war. Do you have any perspectives in terms of how you think we can bring this to an end? Because I know the sentiment is often that, well, now the war has started, so it doesn’t really matter what caused it. We’re in this mess now. But on the other hand, if one wants to solve a conflict, one has to address the root causes, and again, the Russians have signalled very clearly they’re not interested in any temporary ceasefire that doesn’t address the security concerns or security competition which triggered this war to begin with. So how do you see a possible end to this? Because once the war been going on for four years and it manifested itself as a territorial conflict, it’s very hard to get settlement.”

Kay-Achim Schönbach; “We have really to look on the lessons or what we have done wrong in this beforehand. Former US General Ben Hodges, quite high-ranking, who I think was the head of the US army in Europe, said that even the small Finnish army could wipe the Russian army off the battlefield. Wow. In other words, my first lesson this with looking at the end of this conflict, which must always be learned and which could have been known beforehand, is that the biggest mistake is to be arrogant and underestimate your opponent.”

Putin describes how Europe is disrupting peace talks between Ukraine and Russia

Watch; ‘Russia is Ready for war’: Putin’s direct Message ANI News India, 2 December 2025

Vladimir Putin; “Europeans are not silent. They are upset about being sidelined from the talks on a Ukraine peace deal. But I want to note that nobody sidelined them. They sidelined themselves. For a time we had close contacts with them, then they abruptly cut ties with Russia. That was their own initiative because they adopted the idea of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia. And judging by everything, they still live in that illusion. Seeing that they don’t like today’s results, they have started obstructing the current US Administration and President Trump from achieving peace through negotiations. They themselves refused peace talks, and now they are hindering President Trump. Thirdly, they have no peace agenda. They are on the side of war. Even when they claim to introduce changes to Trump’s proposal, we can clearly see all these changes are aimed at one thing, to block the entire peace process. They put forward demands that are absolutely unacceptable for Russia, and they know it. The goal is to later blame Russia for the end of the peace process. Therefore, if they want to return to reality based on the situation on the ground, as they say, then by all means, we are open to that. We are not planning to fight Europe. I have said this a hundred times, but if Europe suddenly decides to wage war against us and starts it, we are ready right now. There can be no doubt about that. The question is if Europe starts a war with us, I believe that very quickly… this is not Ukraine, with Ukraine, we act in a surgical, careful way, you understand, right? It is not war in the full modern sense of the word. If Europe chooses to start a war, the situation can very quickly reach a point where there will be no one left for us to negotiate with.”

Watch; Marandi: Resistance will escalate if US-Israeli aggression continues Al Mayadeen, 16 March 2026

Professor Seyed Marandi; “Yemen will intervene when the time comes. The resistance in Iraq will escalate when the time comes. The Islamic Republic of Iran will escalate when the time comes. Everything depends on the behaviour of the United States and the regimes that host US bases. All of them are complicit. They have blood on their hands. For decades they have been working for the United States. They’ve been allies of the United States, whether it’s the Emirates or Qatar, it doesn’t matter. All of them, Turkey as well. As we speak, Erdogan continues to send oil from Baku to his business partner Netanyahu. And he continues to allow the United States to gather intelligence through AWACS, NATO, AWACS jets in Turkey and US bases. The US bases in Turkey are using their radar installations to gather intelligence against Iran. All of these regimes are working with America to their eternal shame. To their eternal shame. But the axis of resistance has warned everyone that being complicit with the United States will have consequences. And we’re already seeing that every day the United States strikes Iran. The United States and its assets are hammered in the region. And of course, oil and gas and petrochemicals are not going to be exported from the region either until we have an end to this war. So the smart thing to do for US proxies in the region is to end the US presence, the US military presence, and to force the United States to end this war before the destruction becomes even greater. Because if the destruction becomes greater, these family regimes may not last. So they have no one to blame because they allowed this situation to take place. We did not start this war. The United States and the Israeli regime did. And its regional allies and proxies cannot blame anyone but themselves.”

Watch; Iran Ready To Kill Ground Invasion; No Negotiations; Next Oil Shock | Prof. S.M. Marandi; Neutrality Studies; 26 Mar 2026 Interviews

Intro: ‘Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi of Tehran University, updates us on the war from Teheran: He predicts that the Americans are actually going to do boots on the ground since they are that desperate and it will lead to mass-slaughter of the troops. The resolve of Iran seems unbroken and the capability to strike invading troops not just from the shore lines but from any place in Iran is a threat that only an enemy in panic would take. But it seems that’s where we are in the war.’

Professor Marandi; “He (Trump) said we’re negotiating and there are no negotiations. That’s fake. He sent a proposal through Pakistan to Iran. That’s not negotiations. We’ve been doing that with Americans for decades and through different countries. Sometimes it’s Oman, it can be any country. So there were no negotiations. But the Iranians, when they received it, they saw it was not worth discussing. And the Iranians put out their own conditions in public yesterday, which are sort of what I discussed earlier on your show. And as I said, full reparations, facts on the ground have to change so that in future no one can attack Iran and Iran’s allies in the region.They have to be part of any package in future. These were Iran’s conditions. Iran’s sovereignty has to be respected. But also what Trump may do, and again, I’m speculating, is that after the five days that we were negotiating and ‘we almost got there, but they refused to take the final step, so we’re going to intensify the war’. I’m guessing that after the five days, he’ll say, ‘we tried, we almost got there, we provided them with great opportunities, but they refused, they’re evil’, the sort of thing that Trump does, and then he’ll launch the ground offensive.”

Pascal Lottaz; “But are we seeing now after four weeks, some form of regularity or red lines in terms of what is being bombed, what’s not being bombed? Unfortunately, I think the Israelis actually attacked Iranian, not just oil facilities, but actually the nuclear power plants. And Iran shot back at Dimona. And so far, we haven’t had a nuclear catastrophe yet. Are you seeing something that’s moving in the sense of OK the other side the Americans, Israelis are backing off this one, or it seems that Iran was able to draw this line in the sand. Is there something that you can discern?”

Professor Marandi; “I think they’re becoming more desperate, so they’re doing more risky things. So, for example, striking the nuclear power plant, if they actually hit it and the missile can go astray and then that could cause contamination throughout the Persian Gulf region, and that will contaminate oil, that will contaminate gas. And so the Israelis themselves can destroy the oil market permanently because of contamination. But it is a reckless regime. And of course, the regime in Washington is obedient to zionists. And the Israelis don’t care all that much about anything except for themselves. They’re driving up the price of oil right now. We’re moving towards a global crisis.”

Read; Boots on the Ground as Israel Sabotages Trump’s 15-Point Peace Plan, by Kurt Nimmo, Global Research, 26 March 2026

The Pentagon confirms the deployment of troops to West Asia.

‘Former Army lieutenant general Keith Kellogg thinks all the US need do to turn the tide in Iran is take Kharg Island.

“We don’t necessarily have to send troops into Iran, but we need to capture Kharg Island. We need to do it the way the Romans did. We need to put legions on the ground to secure the territory,” he said.

The Roman legions didn’t face Shahed-136 kamikaze drones. Iran will undoubtedly send a legion of drones, missiles, and rockets against any attempt to occupy Kharg, Qeshm, Kish, Hormuz, or the Greater and Lesser Tunb islands.

According to retired US army lieutenant colonel Earl Rasmussen, a ground invasion of Iran would be a months-long nightmare. If the US sends troops to Iran, including Kharg island, they will suffer heavy losses, potentially expanding the conflict for months or even years.

“This implies sending troops there either through the Strait of Hormuz or landing on the other side of the Persian Gulf—from Saudi Arabia. Both would be extremely difficult,” he explained.

Chris Murphy, Deputy Secretary of the Senate Democratic Caucus, said recently a ground invasion of Iran will translate into “thousands of Americans dying.” Murphy and other Democrats pushed for a symbolic vote on a war powers resolution in the absence of Congress adhering to the Constitution and Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 (the exclusive power of Congress to declare war).

Joe Kent, a former United States Army warrant officer, former CIA paramilitary officer, and director of the National Counterterrorism Center who resigned his post over Trump’s war and the pervasive and corrosive influence of Israel and its lobby, warns a ground war against Iran would “be a disaster.” For his effort to avoid this disaster, Kent has been denounced as a traitor and, in de rigueur fashion, an antisemite. He is currently under investigation for “leaking classified information” and the crime of talking with the media. The FBI is building a case against him.

Trump, his delusional disorder growing worse with each passing day, has decided to send the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, a 2,200-troop force, to West Asia to confront Iran.

“A Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) can deliver an initial surge of troops quickly, but seizing and holding key terrain, or sustaining a prolonged fight, would almost certainly require a far larger ground force,” reports ABC News.

If we follow Trump’s illogic, the US does not need to send a single soldier to die on Kharg Island because the US won the war. If you doubt this, as millions of Americans do, then you’re a sucker for fake news, according to the president. Despite this deranged chimera, Trump has proposed a 15 point plan to “end the war,” a plan Iran rejected out of hand. It calls for Iran to dismantle its nuclear program, stop supporting “proxy groups,” agree to put its missile program up for discussion, and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

In turn, Iran presented a plan of its own, little different than the plan it initially offered. It demands the closure of all US bases in the Persian Gulf, a guarantee against attacks in the future, reparations for the damage inflicted on Iran, an end to strikes against Hezbollah, lifting all sanctions, and international recognition of Iran’s authority over the Strait of Hormuz.

“Iran will end the war when it decides to do so and when its own conditions are met,” an Iranian official told Press TV.

The official promised continued “heavy blows” against Israel, GCC nations, and US bases in West Asia until a reasonable plan is presented. Ebrahim Zolfaqari, spokesperson for Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, quipped:

“Has the level of your inner struggle reached the stage of you negotiating with yourself?… People like us can never get along with people like you.”

Following Iran’s rejection of the 15-point plan, the Pentagon confirmed the deployment of troops to West Asia. In response, Iran announced that if US ground troops are sent, it will invade the coastline of the UAE and Bahrain. Additionally, Iran may open a new front on the Red Sea’s Bab el-Mandeb Strait, according to the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim.

“If the Americans intend to take action regarding the Strait of Hormuz, they should be careful not to add another strait to their challenges … Iran is fully prepared to escalate the situation.”

Watch; Iran REJECTS Ceasefire, HAMMERS Israel as Trump DEPLOYS 3,000 US Troops; Elijah Magnier; Danny Haiphong; 25 March 2026

Intro; ‘Elijah Magnier joins for a full Iran war update including Iran’s new missile striking Israel for the first time as well as Trump ordering a massive US troop deployment amid ceasefire hysteria.’

Elijah Magnier; “We know that Donald Trump on Monday, just before the opening of the stock market, dropped a bomb saying that I’m talking to the Iranians, the excellent, fantastic decision maker, negotiators. And that contradicts everything he said the day before that ‘we kicked everybody – there is nobody to negotiate with’. And by saying that he calmed down the market that was already prepared to crash and then the price of oil was prepared to go even down from 120 or 113 and then to go up again.

That’s calmed everything and everything had stopped since. He said that this is going to take five days, that he’s giving the time for the Iranians to think about it and for the negotiations to advance. And by coincidence these five days coincide with the Friday when the market will close down. So he has managed basically to calm down the market, but what he has also achieved to give time for his forces to reach the Middle East.

‘The Iranians said that Trump is negotiating with himself’. This is not the first time that Trump says something that is untrue. When he negotiated with the Iranians, gave them an appointment on a Monday, June, 2025 and the war started on a Friday. And then he did exactly the same at the beginning of this war in February when he said the negotiation will start on a Monday and then on a Saturday he was bombing Iran. That is someone who thinks that he can really deal with geopolitics like he’s dealing with selling of real estate. This is how he understands it. But lies have a very short life duration. And then it is obvious that he did not talk to the Iranians. However, today Pakistan announced that they have received the letter from the Americans and they will convey the status to the Iranians.’

‘So today the Iranians have received the letter and the 15 points mentioned by Donald Trump are correct. However, these 15 points belong to the Americans that were forwarded by the negotiators, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner that Iran refuses to negotiate with because they believe they are the one who instigated this war by misinforming Donald Trump of the content of the negotiation.’

Watch; Operation True Promise, Greg Reese, 24 March 2026

“On average, the United States has been starting wars with other nations once every ten years since its founding. And during this same time, Iran hasn’t started any. Foreign interest in Iran during the modern era began in the early 1900s with the Anglo-Persian Oil company. The British Crown became dependent upon Iranian oil, and the people of the Middle East were subjected to a century of betrayals, strategic deception, and psychological operations. In 1921, Britain overthrew the Iranian government. During World War II, both Britain and the USSR invaded Iran to steal their oil. In 1953, Britain and the USA overthrew the Iranian government.

After 9/11 was carried out by the USA and Israel, Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda were blamed, assets of Western intelligence agencies, and the foreign zionists then began a campaign of mass murder in the region that has so far amassed a death count in the millions. And when zionist forces occupied Iraq, the Iranians knew they were coming for them, and so they prepared accordingly.

Less than 48 hours before the United States and Israel attacked Iran on February 28th, the United States had just concluded their most productive round of nuclear negotiations in years, and had agreed to meet again in four days. The independent mediator announced that a peace deal was within reach and said Iran had agreed it would never have nuclear material to create a bomb. Iran had offered full IAEA access to its nuclear sites. Iran offered to down-blend its highly enriched uranium stockpiles to the lowest possible level and convert them into irreversible fuel. Technical talks were scheduled for the following Monday in Vienna. And a fourth round of political negotiations was scheduled within the week. But forty-eight hours later, Trump and Israel launched an attack on Iran. The initial strikes included the nation’s leader, and a hundred and seventy-eight Iranian school girls, who were murdered by the US with a double strike of Tomahawk missiles.”

Listen; Trump buys time for a new escalation Aaron Maté, 24 March 2024

Aaron Maté; “Now, if I’m taking a guess, I think he’s doing what he’s always done, which is just buying time, pretending to give diplomacy a chance while he builds up the forces, as he’s doing. He sent more forces to West Asia as we speak to try to launch some new operation, because how has Iran been able to hold off for so long on top of its missile capability, which has not been wiped out, as we can see, from the ongoing strike that it’s carrying out? It’s been able to basically block traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, which basically has seriously hindered the global economy. That’s Iran’s main point of leverage. Trump now, if he wants to follow through with his aims of regime change and destroying Iran, he needs to take back the Strait of Hormuz. So if I’m making a prediction, and I hate making predictions, but based on his behaviour so far, the way Trump is going is to go the path of Lindsey Graham, who just said we can take the straight up Hormuz, and he invoked Iwo Jima as a historical precedent for that. So that’s where it looks like Trump is going to buying time for another escalation of aggression, unless somehow saner heads prevail in Washington.”

Judge Napolitano; “Why is it that nobody seriously believes that these negotiations are going on?”

Aaron Maté; “Well, first of all, the Iranians have denied them. Yes, there have been some discussions through intermediaries, so Pakistan has played an increased role. And now there’s rumours that Steve Witkoff has showed up in Islamabad in the hopes of meeting with an Iranian counterpart. Though, if you’re Iran, why would you sit down with Steve Witkoff, who’s now engaged in two rounds of pretend diplomacy and after the most recent round, lied about it. He claimed that Iran was bragging to him about all the nuclear weapons that they can build, who is either just a brazen liar or who fundamentally just doesn’t understand the issues he’s supposed to be negotiating, which is Iran’s nuclear programme and Iran’s right to peaceful enrichment, which it insists on having. And Steve Witkoff, as we discussed last week, he’s a guy who publicly, at a zionist fundraiser, gushed over the fact that a former Israeli spy chief was clapping for him. So how could this guy possibly be still representing the US in any talks, if anyone, he represents Israel. But Iran has denied that these talks are taking place. There have been through third parties like Pakistan, some discussions, but nothing substantive. There’s no indication that there’s any high level talks going on. Now there’s rumours of JD Vance maybe stepping in. Maybe. Again, I want to hope for a miracle that maybe some saner heads will prevail. But so far it does look as if Trump is doing his typical thing of pretending to give diplomacy a chance while building up forces to carry out aggression.”

Judge Napolitano; “Well, what would Netanyahu do if the United States and Iran entered into an agreement for peace? He’d wreck it if he could.”

Aaron Maté; “And he’s done all he can to make it impossible. He’s targeted officials, including Ali Larijani who was assassinated, who favoured diplomacy. He’s killing everyone who can, who possibly believes in still the possibility of a diplomatic agreement with the US. So Netanyahu will do what he can to block it. Ultimately, I think if Trump were to change his mind, Netanyahu would have to fall in line because Israel cannot act without the backing of the US. So if Trump by some miracle came to his senses and realised it’s not worth destroying Iran and trashing the global economy and sacrificing his Gulf allies for the sake of the Greater Israel Project, then Netanyahu would have to fall in line. But so far, Netanyahu has gotten everything he wanted.”

Judge Napolitano; “Is the former head of Mossad who stood up and applauded for something Witkoff said at some private gathering? Yossi Cohen? The reason I mentioned that name is because this morning Professor Mearsheimer told us that Yossi Cohen bitterly disagreed with David Barnea, the current head of Mossad, when Barnea persuaded Netanyahu that after a weekend of bombardment, there’ll be chaos in the streets and the rioters will take over the government. Netanyahu bought it, Trump bought it, Barnea sold it, Yossi Cohen said it’s nonsense.”

Aaron Maté; “Yes. In a recent New York Times article, which, by the way, confirms what so many of your guests have been saying for a long time, including Max Blumenthal, that the Mossad was fomenting riots inside Iran in a bid to try to stoke a crackdown that could then be used to justify regime change. The New York Times reported that the Mossad’s been developing plans for that for a very long time. It was hoping to do that again after this most recent round of Israeli US strikes and failed. But yes. It also mentions that Yossi Cohen, the former chief of Mossad, his idea was, yes, let’s do regime change in Iran, but forget trying to foment riots. We should just do it through crippling sanctions and assassinations of Iran’s nuclear scientists. So he was on board with the regime change. He just had a different vision for how to achieve it. And it just underscores that no matter who’s in power in Israel, the aim of regime change is always there.”

Watch; The Heat: Middle East Conflict | US delays strikes on Iran’s energy China Global Television Network, 24 March 2026

CGTN Presenter; “We’re now in the fourth week of this conflict and we’re already seeing the impact on countries around the world. We’ve seen sharp rises in the price of oil and the price of gas as well. As you’ve pointed out, the developing world has been especially hard hit. What is your assessment of the impact that this conflict is going to have on global growth?”

Pepe Escobar; “The top two victims are Europe and Asia. Europe simply has no backup plan for the lack of gas, for the fact that gas from Qatar for Europe, forget it, and they shot themselves in the back because they refused to have gas from Russia. So there are no options left. Like Meloni, Prime Minister of Italy, she’s going to Algeria in desperation to see if the Algerians have enough gas to sell to Italy. They don’t. Everything is already sold. So the situation for Europe is horrible. And for many of Asian nations, for Japan, South Korea especially the fact that oil is not exactly blocked in the Strait of Hormuz, you have to pay a toll. The Iranians basically nationalised the Strait of Hormuz. If you follow a set of procedures, your tanker can cross. Number one, the settlement has to be in petro yuan, in Chinese currency. Number two, you have to pay the toll. There are several numbers, up to $2 million per tanker. And number three, you navigate very close to the Iranian shoreline, in Iranian territorial waters. So if you follow this procedure, there’s no problem you can cross. So the strait is closed for American and Israeli-linked ships and ships that are linked with hostile nations, including some European ones as determined by Iran. So there is a toll booth working and this changes the equation completely. So we have Iran installing a tall bulls in the most important, important choke point on the planet. And there’s nothing the United States can do to unblock it. They cannot invade it, they cannot bomb it, they cannot send their ships to the Persian Gulf because they will be sitting ducks. And that accounts for the desperation on the Trump camp.”

Read; And then it got even worse for Trump The Other 98%, 17 March 2026

‘French General Michel Yakovleff just compared joining Trump’s Iran war to “buying cheap tickets for the Titanic” after it already hit the iceberg. And then it got even worse for Trump. Yakovleff is no random talking head. He’s a three-star general, former commander of the legendary French Foreign Legion, and held senior positions within NATO itself. He is one of the most respected military voices in France and regularly weighs in on matters of international security. So when he was asked about Trump’s desperate pleas for Europe to join his Iran catastrophe, his answer carried serious weight. He didn’t mince words. He laid out five distinct reasons why every European nation should flatly refuse. And each one is more damaging than the last. First, Trump doesn’t understand how NATO actually works. You don’t get to launch your own unilateral bombing campaign and then invite allies to run a separate operation underneath you. That’s not how alliances function. If Trump wants NATO involved, NATO takes command. One operation, one flag, one chain of command. “I don’t think he understood that,” Yakovleff said. That alone is a devastating indictment of a man who claims to be the greatest dealmaker on earth Second, nobody knows what the actual strategic goals are. Beyond forcing open the Strait of Hormuz, what is the endgame? Regime change? Containment? A negotiated settlement? Trump hasn’t said. He apparently can’t say, because he doesn’t know himself. Third, and this one is particularly brutal, you can’t coordinate a multinational military campaign through tweets that change every two minutes. If allied nations are going to put their soldiers in harm’s way, they need explicit, written objectives from the United States. As Yakovleff put it, “It’s going to be necessary for Trump himself to know what he wants.” The quiet contempt in that sentence could strip paint off a wall. Fourth, there is the fundamental issue of trust. Trump has abandoned allies before and everyone knows he would do it again without hesitation the moment it became politically useful. The Kurds know it. The Afghans know it. Europe knows it. “He would let us down whenever it suited him,” the general said. Why would any nation put troops on the line for a leader with that track record? And fifth, the knockout punch. Yakovleff cited a principle he said he learned at the U.S. Army War College: “You don’t reinforce failure. You move on. You find something else.” A decorated French general is using American military doctrine, taught in American war colleges, to explain to the world why following this American president into battle would be strategic malpractice. The global response has been just as damning. Japan said no. Australia said no. The United Kingdom said no. The European Union said no. Meanwhile, Iranian missiles and drones have made the Strait of Hormuz so dangerous that insurance companies won’t cover oil tankers passing through it. Twenty percent of the world’s petroleum normally flows through that strait. Oil prices are skyrocketing and consumers everywhere are feeling it.’

Alastair Crooke, retired diplomat and MI6, explains to Danny Haiphong that Iran rules over the Strait of Hormuz corridor.

Danny Haiphong; “How is this going to affect the energy question?”

Alastair Crooke; “Well, in word, it’s going to affect it badly. Iran had been careful not to bomb or strike at the infrastructure, the energy infrastructure, until now. Yes, storage tanks and others were attacked, but their focus was much more on ports. And that had a different objective too. It was on ports, but it was about the Hormuz Strait and about changing the geopolitical balance within the region. Ports are important because particularly Bahrain port, which has borne the brunt of this, was the home to the Fifth Fleet, but it was a home to much more, it was a home to a major intelligence gathering centre, to radars, to administrative centres, to munitions. A whole intelligence infrastructure was based in Bahrain and that’s been systematically destroyed. And part of this is to reestablish, if you like, Iranian control over the whole of the Hormuz corridor. And this, and this is deliberately to flip the whole geopolitical strategy, because the Americans have controlled the Red Sea and Hormuz through the Fifth Fleet and the Red Sea up until the Houthis started their work on it, but they have controlled that. And the object, and Trump has made this very clear, is to have dominance over the choke points and the sea corridors, the navigation corridors of the globe, first of all, to squeeze China, to squeeze China’s oil inputs, that was what Venezuela was largely about, because most of Venezuelan oil was heading to China. And it’s also about squeezing in the other direction, it’s been about squeezing Russian oil, the seizure of tankers, the attacks on tankers in the Black Sea and in the Baltic. I mean, all of this was quite clearly the new war was to try and suppress Chinese economic development by limiting its energy supply. And secondly, it was to stop Russian exports of oil. They even attack ports in Oman. Oman has been friendly to Iran, but because that is part of the network of American attempts to dominate the sea and navigation routes, so that has been an important element. So by and large, they’ve left the actual infrastructure of energy untouched until today, and that was because Trump agreed or greenlighted, according to the Israelis, an attack on South Pars gas field that serves Iran. So now it’s all restraint is off and Iran feels free to attack all oil installation. Of course it’s going to have a big effect on the economy. Of course it’s going to affect particularly Gulf states, but finally the Gulf states have to probably at some point decide where they stand on this war. I mean until now they’ve been firmly in the Washington ambit, they have been completely Americanised and Israeli-dependent on for technology and for AI. and for now increasingly tourism. But all of that’s changed. The business model of the Gulf is broken. Some people will stay on in Dubai and other places maybe, but there’s been a big exodus from Dubai, not just tourists, but other people who say they’re not going back because it’s not, it’s broken. We went there because we thought it was safe, secure and plenty of money to be earned there. Now it’s not so safe, not so secure and not so much money going to be around. So the Gulf states have to decide. I mean they will be dependent on Iran for their revenue from now, not from the United States, but Iran can either green light their vessels to pass through the Straits of Hormuz, or not. And furthermore, a state like UAE imports all its food through Hormuz as well. Qatar exports its gas through Hormuz. All of these are going to be subject to the permission being granted by Iran. So this is going to continue to be a vital issue in this period and the ability of the west to do anything about it is very, very small to being almost non existent. The reason being, and we’ve heard from Trump frequently, ‘oh well, we’ve sunk their navy.’ Well, Iran really didn’t have a navy in the proper sense of it, deliberately because navies are vulnerable now. They don’t have battleships and carriers or anything like that. But what they do have is real deterrence because they have first of all underwater drones that move very fast, can be directed and find their own targets very rapidly. They’re like high speed torpedoes, very difficult to do anything about those. Then they have unmanned surface drones, effectively like a speedboat packed with these explosives but that also moves very fast and can be steered so that it can zigzag around, and that I think you’ve probably seen videos, has indeed struck an American linked tanker and it ended up in flames. But that’s not the end of it because then they have small surface vessels which like speedboats but which carry anti-ship missiles too. And then you have, beyond that Iran has 25 submarines that can fire anti-ship missiles while submerged. So this is their navy, it’s not a battleship or a frigate, it is these small, very fast vessels and submarines. It’s all been thought through. And this is asymmetrical warfare. They didn’t need a frigate there or anything like this, this would be pointless. But I wouldn’t like to be the frigate or the tanker that tries to get through Hormuz. And they don’t even need to use those, because actually, from the centre point, and they’re making sure that people have to move past Qeshm Island now, which is the narrowest point, that’s 21 kilometres from Iran, which means that the whole of that area is under fire control from back, not from the coastal areas, but further back. Artillery can reach all of that area easily. I would think it’s no surprise that noone has volunteered to escort a tanker through this, the Iranians control this utterly.”

Watch; Swiss Colonel EXPOSES Level of US/Israel Strategic Defeat Neutrality Studies, 19 March 2026

‘The strategic discipline of Iran’s military and governance structure is defeating the US/Israeli mass bombing campaign. Iran establishes that no level of decapitation strikes can in fact degrade its ability to strike against targets in the region. With every passing day, the air-war of attrition tilts in favour of Tehran—albeit at a terrible human cost due to the intentional targeting of civilians by the Western powers. My guest, Colonel Jacques Baud, was a Colonel in the Swiss army, and, for many years, an intelligence officer. His analysis is everything the US missed before launching this insane folly.’

Jacques Baud; “This is something very dangerous. And that’s all that comes from the fact that we have a very weak decision making process. In fact, in most countries, for everything, you can talk about Iran, you can talk about Venezuela, you can talk about Palestine, we don’t have solid decision making. In fact, we are deciding with our stomach rather than deciding with our brain. That’s a problem. And therefore all the decisions are emotional, they are not thoroughly studied, evaluated and elaborated. As a result, we come on decisions that are short term decisions mostly with no real understanding of what are the future implications of these decisions. We have that right now with the whole issue of energy, for instance, and today we see that Europeans are thinking about going back to Russia to have some energy sources because they understand that they made a mistake, because they decided hastily in 2022 and so on. So we see this extremely weak decision. We decide like teenagers, no longer like governments, like people who have intelligence. I come from the intelligence world, that’s my previous occupation, and in intelligence the idea is that you analyse things regardless of what the political power decides. I mean, if they may agree or not agree. This is not the problem. In the intelligence, you’re not here to please the politician, you are there to explain the situation, whatever the situation is. And you may come to an explanation or a representation, a picture of the situation that may not please the politician. That’s up to him to take the decision that fits the picture. The problem is that now we tend to have politicians who try to fit the picture to their decision.”

Pascal Lottaz; “When do you think that this started? Because this is absolutely crucial. And we are seeing right now how one side operates like this, the political west, as Richard Sarkwa would call it, Europe, and of course the United States, very haphazard decisions based upon very poor intelligence, very poor understanding of what is going on. And now we have the other sides, we have the Russians that have been for four years relatively, or at least for three years, methodologically been implementing the war, the war of attrition, the second phase that came after the first kind of shock and awe moment where the strategy was different. But the last three years were quite deliberate and meticulous in how they try to achieve their goals. And we see the same now in Iran. We see how Iran is fighting a war meticulously, with a clear strategy and a clear way of how to roll, how to make life for the United States and Israel quite horrible in the Gulf region. And they are implementing that based upon plans that they have made many, many years before. What does, what does that leave us with now in this international environment where violence is unfortunately, again, a way of communicating what kind of strategies are being used or not used on the Western side?”

Colonel Jacques Baud; “Well, if you allow me to take this intelligence perspective, I can say that since the early 90s, this has changed. In fact, during the Cold War, intelligence was based on this bipolar rivalry you had between the communist system, Marxist, I mean, you could call it the different ways, and the Western world. And we had those NATO and the Warsaw Pact facing each other, and of course, they were diverging political issues, but in essence, as it comes to the threat, the strategic threat, you had very similar rationale on both sides. I mean, the Soviet army used also tanks as the US army, and the tanks had the same speed on the ground, almost the same characteristic, their gun fire at the same rate of fire or same distance and things like this. So had a lot of commonality, so it was easy to understand and to have a picture of the threat because you can also rely on your own experience to build this picture. After the fall of the Warsaw Pact and the end of the Cold War, we started to put emphasis on other kind of threats. In the first move, that was the organised crime, and then it came very quickly into terrorism and all that. The problem is that in those kind of threats, first of all, people have not so much experience, you can address it from a police point of view and you have police intelligence that can identify individual criminals and all that, but strategically, how do you address organised criminality? The strategic thinking was lacking an intelligence picture at strategic level. And that went even further complicated with terrorism, and especially the Islamic terrorism, because then you cannot assess the picture based on your own experience, your own Western culture or experience, because then you are facing individuals, and maybe not even organisation, but just individuals who are reacting according to their own culture, according to their own standards, according to their own cultural references and things like this. And that becomes very difficult to understand.”

Joe Kent Resignation Letter; “President Trump, After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. I support the values and the foreign policies that you campaigned on in 2016, 2020, 2024, which you enacted in your first term. Until June of 2025, you understood that the wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation.In your first administration, you understood better than any modern President how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into never-ending wars. You demonstrated this by killing Qasam Solamani and by defeating ISIS.Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again.As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives.I pray that you will reflect upon what we are doing in Iran, and who we are doing it for. The time for bold action is now. You can reverse course and chart a new path for our nation, or you can allow us to slip further toward decline and chaos. You hold the cards.It was an honor to serve in your administration and to serve our great nation.’

Read; How the US and Israel came close to launching a war on Iran 20 years ago Jonathan Cook, 20 March 2026

‘Trump isn’t the first US president tempted by an Israeli plan to destroy Iran and thereby “remake the Middle East”, as this extract from my book Israel and the Clash of Civilisations sets out.

Eighteen years is a long time in geopolitics. But I am publishing below an extended extract from my book’s second chapter, The Long Campaign Against Iran, because it offers a detailed record of how Israel and its neocon allies in the Bush administration made the same case for attacking Iran as they do now – and came very close to getting their way. They viewed a war on Iran as the second phase of the 2003 attack on Iraq. They believed the two came as a package. Attacking one only would strengthen the other. Which is exactly what happened after Israel and the neocons engineered regime collapse in Iraq but were unable to continue on to Iran.

Twenty years on, most of the coverage of the current US-Israeli war on Iran tends to make two mistaken assumptions. First, that Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu was the main driver, from Israel’s side, of plans to attack Iran. In fact, as this chapter and the previous one on Iraq demonstrates, the idea was widely shared in Israel’s military and political establishments. And second, that Donald Trump was the first US president dumb enough to fall into the trap laid by Israel – or at least by Trump’s pro-Israel donors. Though there is some truth to this, it is also too simplistic. All the evidence suggests that the idea of attacking Iran – sold as “remaking the Middle East” – gained a foothold in the imaginations of US politicians and officials, including in the Pentagon, more than two decades ago.’

Listen; Security Council: UN second resolution ‘bows to US empire’ UK Column, 18 March 2026

Mike Robinson; “Vanessa, let’s come back to you then and what’s been going on in the United Nations Security Council?”

Vanessa Beeley; “Well, we’ve had a second resolution of course. The first was UN Security Council Resolution 2803 in relation to passing the Trump peace scam in Gaza where the genocide has continued unabated. This again is Craig Mokhiber who went on to describe exactly what happened with the UN Resolution 2817 which was passed on 11 March, so he says for the second time in four months and he includes the Resolution 2803. The UN Security Council has today bowed to the US empire and its vassals and ignored international law on its behalf, and neither Russia nor China have acted to stop it through their veto rights but both abstained and actually the resolution was co-sponsored by India, another one of the founding members of BRICS before it became BRICS in the middle of the unlawful and bloody US Israel-Axis aggression on Iran. The Council is entirely silent on the aggression and on Iran’s charter-based right to defend itself. Instead of condemning the aggressors, it condemns only Iran for attacks on the territory of countries in the region, the Gulf states hosting US military bases, some of which have been directly complicit in the aggression, proving once again how oil and money are valued more than sovereignty, human lives or international law. The resolution gained a record number of state co-sponsors and the Council that has allowed genocide and serial aggression to continue for more than two years in the region without action has decided that oil prices are a step too far.”

Professor Seyed Marandi; “We will no longer accept the status quo. The region has to change. We will not allow the United States or the Israeli regime to be able to threaten us again. In other words, the Iranians will push this war until the United States and the west recognise that attacking Iran is not an option. Not now and not ever again. So this war is not going to end anytime soon unless the other side capitulates. And even when the other side backs down, there will be changes. Iran will not accept Arab family dictatorships hosting US bases that that can harm us. And they will have to pay compensation for the slaughter and the murder that has been carried out. None of these regimes are innocent. Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman. None of them are innocent. All of them host US bases, all of those US bases have been used to conspire against Iran, all of them have been used to kill Iranians, murder Iranians, and not just Iranians, they’ve been used to kill people in Yemen, they’ve been used to kill people in Lebanon in a different way. So this war will end with a shift in the balance of power in this region. The axis of resistance will no longer accept a hanging sword above it. That sword has to be broken. And it will be broken, God willing.”

Chris Hedges and Max Blumenthal explain why Trump went to war with Iran.

Watch; How Israel Convinced Trump to Wage War Against Iran, Chris Hedges Report, 18 March 2026

Chris Hedges; “So Max, there’s been long pressure on the Trump administration. In your article in the Grey Zone, you say this goes back to the very campaign itself. Explain how that worked. He was of course surrounded by pro- Israel advisers, both in his first term figures like Bolton and in his second term. But just lay out the, the process and, and of course he survived two assassination attempts which I didn’t know it till I read your story Netanyahu immediately linked to Iran.”

Max Blumenthal; “Well, there, there’s the material political force that influenced Trump, that Israel applied to influence Trump and then there is, there is the psychological pressure which is more sophisticated. Was a very sophisticated campaign that was. I think it’s more difficult for people to understand because Trump is a difficult figure to understand. I mean, if you’re a sensible person and you listen to what Donald Trump says now, you may want to try to apply some rational logic to what Donald Trump is saying. Perhaps he’s playing three dimensional chess or maybe it’s three dementia chess, or he may just actually be an extremely stupid, feeble minded individual who is ornery and irrational. But let’s say you’re Trump’s enemy. It’s less important than if you’re Trump’s frenemy in Israel and you need him to fulfil your objectives because you have the lobby that can convince and influence U.S. policymakers to act against American interests in your interest. But Donald Trump is an enigmatic figure, less stable and predictable than a Bill Clinton or even a Barack Obama. However, Trump offers this massive opportunity because he’s totally transactional and he is someone who entered politics essentially to make a profit. So the Israelis were working Trump through their cutouts. Many of the figures that came out of the mega group that was launched in the 1990s to support Benjamin Netanyahu’s campaigns and various pro Israel objectives internally inside the US who are like 12 to 20 billionaires. Netanyahu had a handwritten list of billionaires that he drew up to support his campaign back in 1996, the most important figure would have been Sheldon Adelson, who succeeded by his wife, his widow Miriam Adelson. There are other figures like Paul Singer, who was more of a mainstream neoconservative Republican. He had a gay son, so he was hostile to the Christian right, but he liked the Republican Party because he is a vulture capitalist who wants to pay very low taxes. He backed the entire career of Marco Rubio alongside the Adelsons. And Singer eventually got in with Trump when Trump made certain promises which are now coming to bear right now in Iran, in the West Bank and elsewhere. Singer is an Israel first guy. Other smaller figures, Ike Perlmutter, Bernard Marcus, we know these names and it’s obvious Trump doesn’t even hide this, that they are essentially bribing him through our corrupt campaign finance system to allow Israel to de facto annex the West Bank, commit genocide in Gaza, punish the International Criminal Court for attempting to hold Israel’s military and political leadership to account for these crimes and everything else all the way up to war with Iran. And then you had Donald Trump, the man who had to be manipulated, and I assume the Mossad and other forces within Israeli intelligence were seeking to first decode the enigma of Donald Trump’s psychology and then to exploit it as they do with all of their targets, whether they’re targeting them for assassination or targeting them for an influence campaign. Donald Trump has been targeted through this campaign of legal bribery and manipulation since his first campaign.”

Watch; ‘Iran is Not Gaza’: Acclaimed Writer Arundhati Roy The Wire, 9 March 2026

Arundhati Roy; “I have something to say because I’m my mother’s daughter and because I need to straighten my shoulders and say this. It’s a little statement about the war that is about to consume the world.

I know we are here today to talk about Mother Mary Comes To Me. But how can we end the day without talking about those beautiful cities—Tehran, Isfahan and Beirut that are up in flames? In keeping with my Mother Mary’s spirit of candour and impoliteness I would like to use this platform to say something about the unprovoked and illegal attack by the United States and Israel on Iran. It is of course, a continuation of the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza. It’s the same old genocidaires using the same old playbook, murdering women and childre, bombing hospitals, carpet bombing cities and then playing the victim.

But Iran is not Gaza. The theatre of this new war could expand to consume the whole world. We are on the brink of nuclear calamity and economic collapse. The same country that bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki could be readying itself to bomb one of the most ancient civilisations in the world. There will be other occasions to speak of this in detail, so here let me simply say that I stand with Iran unequivocally. Any regimes that need changing, including the US, Israel and ours, need to be changed by the people, not by some bloated, lying, cheating, greedy, resource-grabbing, bomb-dropping imperial power and its allies who are trying to bully the whole world into submission.

Iran is standing up to them, while India cowers. I am ashamed of how gutless, how spineless our government has been. Long ago we were a poor country of very poor people, but we had pride, we had dignity. Today we are a rich country with very poor, unemployed people who are fed on a diet of hatred, poison and falsehoods instead of real food. We have lost pride, we have lost dignity, we have lost courage, except in our movies.

What sort of people are we whose elected government cannot stand up and condemn the US when it kidnaps and assassinates heads of state of other countries? Would we like that done to us? For our Prime Minister to have traveled to Israel and embraced Benyamin Netanyahu just days before he attacked Iran, what does it mean? For our government to sign a groveling trade deal with the US that literally sells our farmers and textile industry down the river, only days before the US Supreme Court declared Trump’s tariffs illegal, what does it mean? For us to now be given ‘permission’ to buy oil from Russia, what does it mean? What else do we need permission for? To go to the bathroom? To take a day off work? To visit our mothers?

Every day US politicians including Donald Trump mock and demean us publicly. And our Prime Minister laughs his famous, vacuous laugh and hugs on. At the height of the genocide in Gaza, the government of India sent thousands of poor Indian workers to Israel to replace expelled Palestinian workers. Today, while Israelis take shelter in bunkers, it is being reported that those Indian workers are not allowed into those shelters. What the hell does this mean? Who has put us into this absolutely humiliating, shameless, disgusting place in the world?

Some of you will remember how we used to joke about that florid, overblown Chinese communist term, “Running Dog of Imperialism.” But right now, I’d say, it describes us well, except of course, in our twisted, toxic movies in which our celluloid heroes strut on, winning phantom war after war, dumb and over-muscled, fueling our insatiable bloodlust with their gratuitous violence and their shit for brains.”

Read; My enemies are not in Iran, Caitlin Johnson, 16 March 2026

‘My enemies are not in Iran. My enemies are in Washington and Tel Aviv. In London and Canberra. My enemies are the western oligarchs and empire managers who are poisoning my society and making everything awful while slaughtering human beings with the help of my tax dollars. My enemies are the tyrants who are turning our civilisation into a mind-controlled dystopia where it is increasingly illegal to criticise the abuses of my government and its allies, and increasingly difficult to find information which runs counter to the imperial narrative. My enemies are the empire apologists and the hasbarists, the propagandists and spinmeisters, those who side with Israel and the United States against basic human interests. Imperial bootlickers always accuse me of writing “propaganda” for the “enemy”, with “enemy” meaning whoever the US-centralised empire happens to be attacking or preparing to attack on any given day. I always want to tell them “Motherfucker YOU are my enemy. YOU. You and the empire you simp for.”

The Iranians have never done anything to me. The Iranians pose no threat to me. They didn’t bring war to my country. The empire I live under brought war to theirs. The Iranians haven’t robbed me and my fellow westerners of all democratic political agency to create an oligarchy run by megalomaniacal plutocrats and psychopathic government agencies.The Iranians haven’t locked down all political systems throughout western society making it impossible to vote our way into peace, economic justice, and government transparency. The Iranians aren’t working tirelessly to brainwash and manipulate everyone in my society to turn us all into apathetic flag-waving morons who care more about sports and celebrities than the fact that their government is committing horrifying war crimes. The Iranians aren’t trying to make it illegal for me to criticise Israel and its abuses, or working to imprison my countrymen for uttering normal political slogans in opposition to a genocidal apartheid state. The Iranians aren’t making my society crazy, stupid and evil while we hurtle toward ecological disaster, nuclear armageddon and AI tech dystopia. I haven’t spent years watching a live-streamed genocide in Gaza being perpetrated by the Iranians. I’m not frightened that the Iranians will try to draft my son to fight and die in a crazy, evil war. The Iranians are not doing any of these things to me. These are things the western power structure is doing. I have no loyalty to that power structure. I have loyalty to my species, to my family, and to the values I hold sacred in my heart of hearts. The US empire can get fucked.’

Read; The assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei is the single greatest strategic blunder in modern US history Fatima Bhutto, 13 March 2026

Fatima Bhutto; “The assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei is the single greatest strategic blunder in modern US history. By killing him, the US and Israel didn’t just eliminate a leader, they fulfilled a 1,400-year-old prophecy and created a martyr whose shadow will haunt the West for decades. Consider the symbolism: Iran has NEVER had a martyred Supreme Leader. Khomeini died of natural causes. For the Leader of the Islamic Republic to be martyred by the “US/Israel” is 1000% on brand. It transforms a political office into a sacred, eternal cause. The timing is catastrophic. Khamenei was killed in Ramadan, the same holy month as Imam Ali, the first Imam of Shiism and the “Epitome of Justice.” To millions, this isn’t a “strike”, it’s a divine parallel. He died as Ali died: at the hands of an assassin during the month of fasting. He was killed with his family. In the Shia psyche, this immediately mirrors the Martyrdom of Husayn at Karbala. The narrative of the “oppressed” (Mazlum) vs the “oppressor” (Zalim) is now fully activated. This isn’t just an Iranian tragedy; it’s a global Shia rallying cry. The blowback is already unprecedented. We are seeing something rare: Shia-Sunni unity. From Karachi to Baghdad to Lucknow, Sunnis are joining Shias in the streets. By targeting a religious authority of this stature, the US has unified the Ummah against a common “tyrant.” Trump’s “kill everyone” doctrine, dictated by Netanyahu, has backfired. They thought they were decapitating a regime. Instead, they’ve given the Islamic Republic its most powerful symbol of legitimacy since 1979. You cannot kill an idea, especially one now bathed in the blood of “martyrdom.” The West is celebrating a “tactical success” while sleepwalking into a strategic nightmare. The US just traded a predictable adversary for an unpredictable, divinely-inspired global insurgency. This isn’t the end; it’s the beginning of a much darker chapter.’

Read; American Horror Story, George Galloway, 13 March 2026

George Galloway; The scale of the Trump War disaster is now hoving into view and it is an ugly sight. As is plain he is now losing his mind as much as Biden lost his bowels. Biden evacuated his in the presence of the Pope, Trump is evacuating the whole Persian Gulf. The US protection racket in the oil and gas rich Arab monarchies failed the Genovese Mob test: it didn’t actually provide protection. The Americans are unlikely to be invited back but in any case, why bother? They would be sitting ducks for Iranian ballistics for the rest of time. The more Trump boasts vaingloriously of his military successes the more missiles thud into the towns and cities of Israel and his allies in the Gulf, into his aircraft and shipping, military and commercial, into his embassies and bases and alas into his soldiers and agents who are losing their lives and limbs, their whole futures, in this desperately ill-judged war of choice. Of course Iranian lives and limbs are being severed recklessly too but their political pain threshold is exponentially higher. And they’re not hosting the World Cup in a few weeks neither do they have mid-term elections in a few months.

This whole plan (if you can call such impulsive behaviour a plan) was predicated on the swift collapse of the Iranian system after decapitation. But just as the American regime spent a trillion dollars and untold lives replacing the Taliban with the Taliban so they have replaced Khameni with Khameni. Sheer stable genius. It was predicated upon an uprising of Iranian liberals taking over the country opening its riches to the Americans and embracing Israel. An uprising visible now only amongst the exiled comprador of the deposed Shah in Los Angeles. As Tojo found in the sneak attack on Pearl Harbour those who launch wars of choice in such a manner (though to be fair to the Japanese fascist he wasn’t sneaky enough to murder Roosevelt in the middle of negotiations) do not get to choose when the war ends. Trump has no power to end this. The advantage is now with Iranians. They have leverage. They will only stop firing on those who attacked them when their legitimate demands are met. Those demands will now likely include the denuclearisation of Israel OR their own nuclear weapons as a deterrent against Israeli nuclear weapons, the immediate establishment of a Palestinian state and the end of Israeli occupation and impunity, the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon guaranteed by the UN Security Council Permanent 5, the closure of all American bases in the Persian Gulf, an end to all sanctions against Iran and full compensation for all Iranian deaths and destruction of Iranian property, likely paid by their neighbours. All of the above guaranteed by the Security Council and ratified in treaty form by the United States Congress. Then and only then can Iran, which I repeat now holds the strategic advantage, be sure that Israel and the United States will not return for another sneak attack when and if they are able. Thus the decline of the American Empire has been microcosmed and compressed into a single conflict with an adversary they catastrophically under-estimated. This day after all is Friday 13th. The eagle-eyed will have noticed I have not yet remarked upon the economic consequences for the whole western world of this war. Do I really need to? The Strait of Hormuz is closed to all but Iran’s friendly countries and will remain so despite Trump’s impotent boasts to the contrary. Every attack on Iran’s oil industry is instantly reciprocated with an attack on the oil industry of Iran’s neighbours. The Strait controls 20% of the world’s oil and gas supplies. Oil will, if this continues, soon pass the point of affordability completely. Gas too. Neither have I dealt with the military consequences of the pitiful puny pusillanimity of those US allies stupid enough to have joined this madness. Again, do I really need to as the French base in Erbil burns to cinders? Right now. I wrote earlier that the War Of Epstein Fury was the biggest military-political blunder since Hitler’s Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the USSR. I was right. The difference being that this blunder only took thirteen days to disaster.’

Watch; Trumps Foreign Policy Imperialism or National Interest Mehdi Hasan, 11 March 2026

Mehdi Hasan; “Trump is someone who doesn’t care about international law, he doesn’t care about national sovereignty, he’s a very imperialist style president. We’re taking America back 50, 100, 150 years. We saw what he did in Venezuela at the start of the year. He illegally went in and abducted the sitting president from his bed with his wife and Trump declared himself acting president of Venezuela. He says he now controls and rules Venezuela. He says he wants to take Greenland away from the Europeans, away from Denmark, completely in violation of international law, the UN and NATO. And of course, so Iran is something…it was very easy for Netanyahu to get Donald Trump to do this. And look, this is not just me saying this, the New York Times has a big piece on how Trump went to war, big deep dive, and their opening paragraph begins with Benjamin Netanyahu walked into the Oval Office in February to make sure that Donald Trump stays on a path to war. Netanyahu went on Fox last night on Sean Hannity’s show and just laughed maniacally when Hannity said, people say that you made Trump do this. It is very clear that this is a war for Israel. What American national interest is there. Six American service members have been killed. Who’s going to tell their families they died for nothing?”

Watch; US official warns Israel could ‘be destroyed’ or use nuclear weapons against Iran Geopolitical Economy Report, 21 March 2026

Ben Norton; “And the US is using their (Gulf states) territory to attack Iran. So therefore they are complicit in this war. And Bloomberg pointed out that Iran only spends on average about $20,000 to make these kamikaze drones, whereas Israel and the Gulf regimes are spending millions of dollars on each of the interceptor missiles they’re using in these air defence systems to shoot down these cheap Iranian drones and old missiles. The math obviously is not going to work over a longer period of time. Furthermore, it’s not just an issue of money, we know that the US government spends trillions and trillions of dollars on war and prints all of this money, and because the US is the issuer of the global reserve currency, the inflation due to that monetary policy is spread all around the world because the dollar is used everywhere. But regardless, the point is this is not just an issue of money, it’s also an issue of resources and industrial capacity. Because the US military industrial complex only produces a few hundred of these interceptors every year, just a few hundred, and yet the Israeli regime and the Persian Gulf monarchies are already using up all of their interceptors. So even if the US government flooded these for profit corporations in the military industrial complex with many billions of dollars more worth of contracts, which the Trump administration is currently doing, despite that there are so many bottlenecks in the supply chain and the US economy has been deindustrialised over decades, so the US does not have the ability to produce enough interceptors needed to for the air defence systems in Israel and the Gulf regimes. And this is why there have been reports of significant damage in Israel due to Iran’s response in self defence. The Israeli analyst Shail Ben Efraim wrote on Twitter on the 20th of March. He said, quote, Israel has been pummelling all night. My WhatsApp groups are filled with people having breakdowns. In Jerusalem, four alerts were heard in a 90-minute span. Iran has been able to increase the number of launches daily, end quote. But those are only posts on social media. The problem is the mainstream corporate media has not covered this issue because there is extreme censorship going on in Israel. The Israeli regime tightly controls the media and and does not allow any media outlets or even average people to report on the damage that Iran is doing in self defence. For instance, the Israeli left wing media outlet 972 Magazine, which is an alternative independent media outlet, published an important article titled ‘Our coverage is not Truthful – How Israel is Censoring Reporting on the War’. Moreover, Forbes published an article titled ‘How Posting Iran war Info can get you Arrested in the UAE, Israel and More’. It noted that dozens of people have been arrested on charges of harming national security after they shared photos and videos pertaining to attacks from Iran. Forbes noted that 20 people were arrested in Dubai because they posted footage of the attacks. And the UAE is very concerned about the damage that this war is doing to its tourism industry and its reputation, its international image as supposedly this safe country. But it’s not just the UAE that’s arresting people. Also, Qatar and Kuwait have arrested people for social media posts. And by the way, in many of these regimes, criticism of state institutions is banned. Forbes points out these are some of the worst dictatorships on earth. They are monarchies and yet they’re the closest US allies in the region which shows that the US Government does not care one bit about so called democracy or human rights, that’s all propaganda. But Forbes pointed out that in addition to the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait arresting people for posting this information online, Israel is also censoring people. And Forbes admitted that multiple people in Israel have been arrested for posting information on social media about the missile impact sites. So this is why that top advisor to Donald Trump, David Sachs, who supports Israel and he supports Trump, and yet even he is now warning that this war of aggression against Iran could potentially lead to the destruction of Israel. And by the way, in that same podcast episode, he also warned that this war could lead to the destruction of the Gulf regimes. And he admitted that in this war, the US and Israel bombed an Iranian desalination plant. Now what exactly is that for people who don’t know, the countries in this region in West Asia have a lot of deserts and they have low supplies of fresh water. Therefore, they use technology in these desalination plants or desal plants to remove the salt from salt water so people can drink it. This is the only way that life is possible in this region, otherwise you cannot have millions of people living here in these big cities. So listen to this clip here, where again this is a top advisor here to Donald Trump and he warns that after the US and Israel bombed an Iranian desalination plant, Tehran retaliated in self defence and hit another desalination plant in the region. And if this continues to escalate, it could literally make these Persian Gulf regimes uninhabitable. It would be impossible for people to live there.”

David Sacks; “The region is very dependent on desalination plants. I think something like 70% of Riyadh gets their water from desalination. I think it’s something like 100 million people on the Arabian Peninsula that get their water from desal. I mean it’s basically a desert right and those desal plants are soft targets. You already saw there was I think there was one desal plant in Iran that got hit and then it caused Iran again tit for tat to hit a desal plant. I think it was in Kuwait. I could be off about that but in any event if you see that type of destruction continue you could literally render the Gulf almost uninhabitable. I mean you’re just not going to have enough water for 100 million people and human beings just cannot survive very long without water so that would be a truly catastrophic scenario.”

Seyed Marandi; “I am optimistic about the future. But these are very dark days and they can become much darker. But in order to end this evil empire and this ethnosupremacism, there has to be resistance. And I think ultimately it will bear fruit. Who knows if I will live, live to see that day or others will. I mean, I already have a bounty on my head, as on X and they refuse to remove it.. I think that at the end of this dark tunnel there is light. All empires are evil, no doubt, and this evil empire, when it falls, it will create hope for the future. But sadly, since empires are brutal and lash out and they fail to accept their decline, it will be painful for people across the world and across our region and across the West.”

‘Professor Jiang Xueqin on how this war is likely to go and what happens to the world. Professor Jiang is the host of the YouTube channel ‪@PredictiveHistory‬. He studies game theory, historical patterns, and eschatology to connect the past, explain the present, and predict the future.’

Professor Jiang Xueqin; “So I think that this war in Iran will be very similar to the war in Ukraine, meaning that this will be drawn out, be a war of attrition. Neither side will concede defeat, even though it is in the best interest to reach a ceasefire. And this will have dramatic consequences on the global economy. And this war could drag on for years and years. Already we’re seeing major repercussions on the global economy in that flights are being cancelled in Southeast Asia, they run out of fuel, so they’re asking people to stay at home. And in a few more months, experts are predicting a food shortage, meaning that nations will be forced into food rationing. And today there’s major escalation in that the Israelis struck the largest gas field in Iran and Iran retaliated by attacking energy infrastructure of the GCC. And Iran has stated that its purpose, its goal, its strategy is to move oil to $200 a barrel, which will have or really significant impact on the global economy, because the entire global economy is based on access to cheap energy. So unfortunately, I think that we can expect this war to drag on for years and years. Eventually, America will send in ground troops. Eventually the state of Hormuz will be contested. Eventually this will spread all across the world. Eventually other nations will be drawn in. So Saudi Arabia is thinking about declaring war on Iran. And Saudi Arabia has a neutral defence pact with Pakistan. So Pakistan will be drawn into this war. So things are spiralling out of control. And just recently, Ali Larijani, who is the de facto head of the Iranian war effort, was assassinated. And he was a pragmatic elder statesmen in Iran who had the authority to negotiate a ceasefire. Now that he’s gone, there really is a more off ramp. So both sides are committed to a long war of attrition and the consequences for the entire global economy are quite dire.”

‘Three weeks into the war on Iran, the conflict is expanding more than ever. The Strait of Hormuz is closed, energy infrastructure is under attack, and U.S. bases are increasingly vulnerable. Israel and Washington are escalating. According to Middle East expert Vali Nasr, this is actually all part of Iran’s strategy. Iran isn’t trying to win quickly. To “win” is to survive — and for that it wants to make the war longer, more expensive, and politically unsustainable for the United States. In this conversation with Rania Khalek, Nasr explains:

-Why Trump gets weaker the longer the war extends

-How energy and Hormuz became the central battlefield

-What Washington fundamentally miscalculated

-Why regime change is unlikely

-The role of Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iraqi factions

-And whether any real off-ramp still exists

-If this war continues, the consequences won’t just be regional, they will be global.’

Though Starmer denies being involved in the wider war, the UK allows US war planes to take off from its RAF airport Fairford Gloucestershire to bomb Iran.

Watch; How Trump uses Britain to bomb Iran Declassified UK, 20 March 2026

Phil Miller; “We’re able to see bombs being loaded onto B1 aircraft. The engines keep powering up and we think they’re going to take off shortly to go and bomb Iran. Donald Trump is angry at Britain for supposedly not helping enough with his attack on Iran “

Trump; “I was very surprised with the United Kingdom. Unfortunately, Keir is not Winston Churchill. “

Phil Miller; “Meanwhile, Keir Starmer is claiming Britain isn’t involved at all. “

Starmer; “We will not be drawn into the wider war.”

Phil Miller; “We’ve come to RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire. It’s about a two hour drive west of London to look at this fleet of American warplanes that are being allowed to take off every day to bomb Iran. So what’s really going on and who’s telling the truth about the extent of Britain’s involvement in this illegal war? Last week, people were able to film straight through the fence below me, but the authorities here at this American base have put up these tarpaulins to try and block people from filming and it seems like they have things to hide. Bombs are being loaded onto the B1 planes that are going to bomb Iran and there are two trolleys of bombs laid out in front of the aircraft. Each trolley has about four bombs on and these are 2,000 pound bombs in weight, which can do a huge amount of damage to targets they hit. The Ministry of Defence won’t tell us if it’s monitoring how many civilian casualties are caused by these US bombing missions on Iran. They also won’t tell us if they’re allowed to approve the target list in advance or to cheque it afterwards to make sure that they’re only bombing these so called defensive targets. I can see seven of these B1 bombers and over the other side of the airfield are the B52s, which are even bigger and are infamous for the bombing raids that they did on Vietnam where they were seen carpet bombing that country.”

Read; The War for Greater Israel, Craig Murray, 1 March 2026

Craig Murray; “There has scarcely been an attempt to pretend any justification in international law for the attack on Iran and murder of its leader. The response of the UK government, focusing almost entirely on condemning Iran for exercising its legitimate right of self-defence, takes the Starmer dishonesty meter further off the scale. The RAF has been actively involved in genocide in Gaza for two years with its surveillance and logistic support for the IDF. It is now fighting for Israel again; intercepting Iranian missiles is not defensive; it is joining in the attack on an already vastly overmatched opponent. I am afraid that the truth is the Iranian attempt to defend itself militarily will be less impactful than many anti-imperialists hope. The astonishing amounts of money spent by the US government on military and surveillance technology simply do have real-world effect.

Here in Venezuela, having seen the major sites struck by the US on 3 January, I have concluded that no act of betrayal was needed. Just overwhelming force and precision technology applied against a technologically unequal opponent whose key capabilities were all on open hilltops or in unhardened barracks. Iran is much more militarily sophisticated, but facing exponentially more force. Khamenei was killed in his own home, not hiding away. He is going to prove a lot more powerful as a martyr than as a ruler with his internal critics.

We are facing not only a period of unapologetic imperialism to which virtually all Western countries are prepared to defer, but a return of medievalism, both in the sheer barbarity and scale of physical abuse, as witnessed in Gaza and in general Israeli brutality, and in use of kidnap and murder as methods of high policy. Legitimising the killing and kidnap of leaders of opposing states is of course a double-edged sword. Having sanctioned genocide, mass killings and deliberate destruction of medical facilities and staff, the mass murder of children, as well as the kidnapping and murder of Heads of State, it is hard now to imagine almost any atrocity which the Western powers are in any moral position to condemn. While Iran’s military ability to strike back is limited, the ramifications of this attack will not be. The rulers of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states have reverted to the norm of being not only reliable US and Israeli satraps, but promoters of atavistic hatred of Shia Muslims. The West is deliberately exploiting the Shia/Sunni divide, as it has for centuries; but this will now destabilise the region for decades. Iraq in particular is going to be convulsed, and so will Pakistan. In Bahrain, the Shia population has been held in check by its Sunni rulers using systematic Western-sponsored murder and torture. Using it as a base to murder the Ayatollah is going to blow back. It would appear that we are going to witness an aerial campaign to destroy Iran’s civilian infrastructure, as in Iraq where 65% of clean drinking water, 50% of hospitals and clinics and 80% of electrical generation was destroyed by “liberation” by the NATO powers. The object is the destruction of Iran as a viable state. It is worth recalling that Iran used to be a Western-style state with a reasonable democracy. It was the election of the Socialist Mosaddegh in 1951, and his nationalisation of British Petroleum, which was met by the MI6- and CIA- sponsored coup of 1953. The vicious and vainglorious rule of their puppet Shah was the cause of the theocratic revolution. Escalating Western sanctions were imposed by the US or EU on Iran in 1979, 1984, 1995, 1996, 2010, 2012, 2015, 2018, 2019 and 2025. There were UN-approved sanctions imposed from 2006 to 2010. These very substantially hampered Iran’s economic development.

The curious thing is that the founding myth of the Western powers is that economic development leads to an expanding, educated middle class which promotes both economic and social liberalism and produces the conditions for democracy. By this reading, if you wished to cement in power an authoritarian government, then limiting economic development is the way to do it. There is something in this reading; I do not doubt that the West’s relentless efforts to strangle Iran – which have had some real success – have hampered its political development.

That is not to accept all the Western myths about Iran. Female education is very strong, and there is extensive female participation throughout economic and governmental institutions. Iran has an extremely good record of tolerating and even supporting minority religious communities, including the Jewish community. There are plenty of women in Tehran without head coverings – Iran is far more tolerant in this regard than Saudi Arabia. While it retains a retrograde intolerance of gay people, it acknowledges gender dysphoria and assists trans people. I am not prepared to give a moment of countenance to arguments that bombing Iran back to the nineteenth century is going in any way to improve the lives of its people. It did not do so in Iraq, Afghanistan or Libya. It was a disaster which unleashed waves of refugees upon Europe, leading directly to the rise of the far right. I think it is unlikely to change the form of government in Iran in any significant way. Regime change by bombing is a highly problematic concept.

What it has done is to remove Ayatollah Khamenei, whose fatwa on the creation of a nuclear weapon was the only reason Iran does not have one. It is delusional to believe that Iran, with its excellent scientific base, could not have developed nuclear bombs in secret away from those monitored enrichment programmes, had it chosen to do so. What is likely to result in the medium term from this conflict, if it long continues, is a more primitive, more atavistic and nuclear-armed Iran.

The Iran nuclear deal torpedoed by Trump in 2018 had provided a rare moment of hope. With sanctions easing, there were chances of both smoother economic development and reform in Iran. That is why Israel wanted the agreement scuppered. The attempted obliteration of Iran is part of a systematic attempt to eliminate by physical force all pockets of resistance to American hegemony. We have seen Rubio’s astonishing assertion of Imperialism as a positive force. Matthew Lynn in the Washington Post exemplified the new Western doctrine. He mocked China for its pacific policy. He argued that for China to build infrastructure for the Global South was futile because the United States might simply seize, blockade or destroy any infrastructure by military force. This he viewed as not shameful, but a great triumph. What long-term lessons China, Russia and the Global South are learning from the abandonment by the entire West of the principles of international law, we shall see in the decades to come. None of this is going to be good for anyone. It is not just a Trump phenomenon. Biden fully supported the Gaza genocide. Almost all major political parties throughout the West are under firm Zionist control, as is all of the significant major media and the ownership of every significant alternative media platform. Iran has provided, directly and through proxies, the only military opposition to the creation of Greater Israel. This war is for Greater Israel. But it is also a wider effort to re-establish the failing economic dominance of the United States by military control of key resources. There is no part of the world which will be safe from the fallout.’

Read; Does the tail wag the dog? How both sides are missing the bigger picture; Jonathan Cook; Mar 27

Binary thinking in the argument over whether the US or Israel is driving the illegal war on Iran obscures far more than it illuminates. The truth is the dog and the tail are wagging each other;

The joint US-Israeli war on Iran has thrust back into the spotlight a divisive debate about whether the dog wags the tail, or the tail wags the dog. Who is in charge of this war: Israel or the United States?

One side believes Israel lured Trump into a trap from which he cannot extricate himself. The tail is wagging the dog.

The other believes that the US, as the world’s sole military super-power, is the one that writes the geo-strategic script. If Israel acts, it is only because it serves Washington’s interests as well. The dog is wagging the tail.

Certainly, the idea that the tail, the client state of Israel, could be wagging the dog, the military juggernaut that is the US, seems, at best, counter-intuitive.

But then again, there is plenty of evidence that suggests advocates for the tail wagging the dog scenario may have a case.

They can point to the fact that Trump launched this war of choice on Iran despite winning the presidency on an “America First” platform in which he promised: “I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars.”

His secretary of state, Marco Rubio, openly stated that the administration was rushed into war, finding itself apparently unable to restrain Israel from attacking Iran.

Jonathan Kent, Trump’s top counter-terrorism official, noted in his resignation letter that the administration “started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby”.

Watch; Is it normal that we got more clarity about what’s going to happen from Iran than Pete Hegseth? Is this Epstein administration just winging it? The Majority Report, 12 March 2026

Mohsen Rezaei; “In that latest interview I did on the fifth day, I said, we have passed the peak and we’re heading downhill. Now is our downhill phase. You saw what happened just last night in Tel Aviv. This was a day ago, meaning because we hit the radars in the infrastructure today. Truly, Mr. Trump and Netanyahu are trapped in a slaughterhouse in the Persian Gulf and in the coming days and weeks, much more joyful news will be delivered to the dear nation of Iran. Look, the big mistake they made was that they came and designed a short term war, but they didn’t realise this might turn into a long term one. Even the greatest international powers, if they initially plan for a short term war and halfway through it, it becomes a long term war, no matter how much power, they will be defeated. Why? Because short term wars have a specific design. They require limited logistics and limited preparations. A long term war requires abundant logistics, extensive planning and they have to anticipate many consequences. They thought the Islamic Republic would be finished in 48 hours. First they brought one aircraft carrier. Then recently they said, for precaution, let’s bring another ship too. But now they’re saying we must bring in whatever ships we have from anywhere in the world, so maybe we can handle this. Take the USS Ford that has now come towards the Mediterranean. It’s currently their time for leave, there are 5,000 to 6,000 personnel saying we need to go on leave because during their time in Venezuela, their mission there had ended. They were told, you will go for 48 hours and come back. Furthermore, these ships usually need maintenance every six months. They need to be resupplied with ammunition and many other things to be need to be done. They came for 48 hours. Now, if they want to stay for long term, from the fatigue of the forces to the shortage of ammunition, they will be burdened with other problems. Secondly, they didn’t think the war would become long term. They didn’t think, for example, the price of oil would go from $80, it has already gone up to $110, you should expect $120 and $150 oil in the coming days. We’re getting close to $150, well, what does this mean? It means the entire global economy will collapse. If the global economy collapses, then will the world allow Trump to continue his warmongering or will the countries of the region allow him to continue his warmongering?”

Presenter; “There it is. We’ll be able to make an assessment as to just how much this guy just walked everybody through it a week or so from now. But when you see the International Energy Agency begging all countries to release their reserves, I don’t know how long that will be that will last, but clearly they’re worried about it. When you see all these alarm bells go off when we hear that the Iranians are putting just a few mines into the Persian Gulf.”

Watch; How did IRAN Actually BYPASS the Iron Dome Using Wooden Stealth Drones Loaded Lore, 5 March 2026

“How did Iran actually bypass the Iron Dome using wooden stealth drones? The advanced defence system is perfectly tuned to track fast, heavy metal rockets. Powerful radars easily spot steel casings and highly reflective electronic parts. To bypass this shield, engineers completely abandoned modern military materials. They built a new swarm of kamikaze drones almost entirely out of balsa wood. Wood and thin fibreglass absorb radar waves instead of bouncing them back. Instead of hot engines, they used tiny electric motors with zero heat signature. The drones were programmed to fly at extreme low altitudes, hugging the terrain. The dome’s smart sensors simply filtered them out as flocks of birds or static noise. The AI didn’t trigger interceptors until the wooden swarm was already diving in. In 2026, the world’s smartest shield was pierced by the most primitive technology.”

Israel hiding military unit under civilian building

Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, former Chief of Staff to US Secretary of State; “The Iranians targeted a fairly sophisticated missile at a facility that they would normally not target, because the Iranians are good about not hitting civilian facilities, they just go for military facilities. By the way, Israel’s not that way at all, on the West Bank, in Lebanon or in Gaza, Israel loves to hit civilians. So they hit this facility spot on. Hit it. And what they were really after it was a civilian facility above ground. But what they were really after was going through the civilian facility and into the ground and penetrating because there was a very sophisticated Israeli intelligence unit under that building. Israelis were hiding it under a civilian building, thinking that the Iranians, normally, as they do, wouldn’t hit a civilian structure. Well, the Iranian intelligence was good on that. They knew it was there. They did hit the civilian building and utterly destroyed the intelligence facility beneath it. Now, you’re going to see that repeated again and again and again because they’re not going to feel they have any restrictions. And you’re going to see a lot of Israelis in the street, in the debris, dead, just like you do in Gaza.”

Scott Ritter; “I think this will be a huge strategic defeat for the United States. Trump will try to mitigate that by creating political cover at home, but globally look what’s already happened, we”ve stripped air defence out of South Korea. We’ve proven that our ballistic missile defence shield over Asia doesn’t work. If we were trying to intimidate the Chinese, remember the National Security Strategy document of the Trump administration speaks of conventional military overmatch against China and the Pacific. We’ve just proven that we are woefully inadequate. If you want to see a nation that has more missiles than Iran, look at China. Taiwan has to be looking at this saying we’re screwed. It’s over if China ever decided to unleash their ballistic missile fury on us. So we know that the ballistic missile defence won’t work, we know that they’ll destroy everything, we know the US cannot come to our assistance so it’s over. South Korea and Japan have to be reconsidering their tripartite nuclear deal with the United States because the United States has been exposed as a toothless tiger. Not only that, we’re stripping away their defences. So this is bad for the United States all round, strategically, we’re not going to recover militarily from this.”

Pepe Escobar; “I prefer not to comment on rumours, a tsunami of spin, in fact, and a tsunami of info war going around. We don’t know. I prefer to comment on facts. And the most important fact is that Iran once again tweaked their strategy, which as we have been discussing it’s the decentralised mosaic strategy. This means 31 commanders in all Iranian provinces with total autonomy to strike and to conduct any operations without having to check with Central Command in Tehran. This is from the beginning. It was to a certain extent, in many ways also reactive. There were, let’s say, volleys of swarms of drones and ballistic missiles put but not interrupted. From now on, and that came from the Central Command, including the IRGC, now it’s going to be literally around the clock and we are not even seeing the amount of destruction that they can inflict, not only on American interests all across West Asia, but especially Israel. And in terms of Israel, as I’m sure all of you, our audience know, in terms of censorship is the most censorship territory on earth. Nothing compares to it. Especially when they are being hammered like they are being hammered, especially these past two, three days, and especially starting with the latest offensive, the one tonight. Well, it’s late night here in Southeast Asia, so in a few hours, just wait about then, it’s going to do what the 35th or the 36th Iranian offensive, and it’s going to be the order of magnitude compared to the past ones because they already admitted, live in public, the strategy that we saw from the beginning, they were launching their old batches of missiles. These were made in 2012, 13, 14, 15, etc. And from now on it’s only a missiles with at least one tonne in their warheads. So destruction absolutely guaranteed. And the Kheibar Shekhan and the Khorramshahr, much more than the Fattah, their top missiles, not to mention the ones that they haven’t announced yet, because these are in the missile cities in the Eastern part of Iran, which has not been touched by the absent syndicate so far. So once again they tweaked the rules of the game. And the absolutely extraordinary announcement that we had a few hours ago, once again from their Central command, which also includes the IRGC, that the Strait of Hormuz will only be open and it’s in fact open to friendly nations. That includes especially China and Russia and some other ones of course and for instance example Bangladesh because Bangladesh needs oil badly. The Iranians are not attacking any vessel that is going to Bangladesh and the straits are of course completely closed for in their terminology hostile nations and every vessel linked to US Israeli or interests of for all practical purposes Natostan, that may include Japan. It’s not clear if that would include South Korea for instance, unless the South Koreans have a back channel to get to the Iranian leadership and they may be exempt. So they are all legitimate targets. And the last point of the communique was something extraordinary. Prepare for $200 for a barrel of oil. So let that sink in slowly. We are around $100, a little less, a little more. So in the next few days we’re going to hit $200 and after that the sky is the limit.”

Watch; “There is no state on the planet that is more ruthless, more murderous than the Israelis” middleeasteye, 12 March 2026

John Mearsheimer; “I think this is a remarkable dangerous situation. If the Israelis lose in Iran, they will be fully aware that they lost. They will be fully aware that they will have enraged the Iranian body populace. Right. They will be fully aware that an Iran with nuclear weapons will be very, very dangerous from Israel’s perspective. And they will go to great lengths to prevent that. And if they can’t prevent it through conventional means, then we get to a scenario where they think about using nuclear weapons. And as we know, there’s no state on the planet that is more ruthless, more murderous than the Israelis. So the idea that they would use nuclear weapons is certainly plausible. And I really worry about this scenario.”

Watch; The war crime against an unarmed Iranian frigate, George Galloway 5 March 2026

George Galloway; “Sinking an Iranian ship off the coast of Sri Lanka is down the Richter scale. But here’s why it’s especially important. First of all, it means this war no longer has any territorial dimensions. It means that any American ship, any American building, any American, any American asset, can be attacked anywhere in the world by Iran or by anybody else seeking revenge for the sinking of the Iranian ship off the coast of India. Secondly, this boat was in international waters. It was 3,000 kilometres from the war zone. It was sailing peacefully away from a joint naval exercise with its BRICS ally, India. The Indian government has not yet condemned the cowardly stab in the back from a submarine that the proximate cause of the sinking of the ship. It’s especially important for a second or third reason. This ship was sunk by a submarine sailing out of the British base at Diego Garcia. This fake dichotomy that has arisen during the week between Keir Starmer and Donald Trump, with Keir Starmer says he’s joining the war, but only in a defensive capacity, only to deal with the missile attacks by Iran on the territories of neighbouring Gulf countries is a flat out lie. This submarine refuelled and armed itself in a British military base. It would be entirely legal right now, this minute for Iran to be bombing London in retaliation for the British complicity in this cowardly ACT. There were 180 sailors on board. Only 30 of them have been rescued. It’s important for another reason. It is a law of naval warfare that when a ship sinks another ship, the ship that sank the other ship picks up the surviving sailors from the ocean. That is a simple matter of law, a simple matter of military correctness, a simple matter of humanity. But the submarine that sank the frigate off the coast of India immediately bolted the course, leaving at least 156 sailors to die in a watery grave. In Davy Jones’s Locker, a submarine sailing out of British military facilities.”

Watch; The Billionaire Oligarchs Pushing For War With Iran Trevor Hayes, 7 March 2026

Trevor Hayes; “How did we get here? Why is the US really going to war with Iran? Trump has been trying out a lot of justifications, but none of these reasons are really valid. Last year, he bragged that Iran’s nuclear programme was obliterated by their strikes and Iran didn’t have any missiles capable of reaching the us. If you want at least part of the answer, what Marco Rubio is talking about here, as usual, follow the money.”

Trump; “Miriam gave my campaign indirectly and directly $250 million. She was number one.”

Trevor Hayes; “That’s Miriam Adelson. And her chequebook has arguably shaped US foreign policy more than any diplomat in the last decade. Adelson and her late husband are billionaires, staunch zionists, and they act as Israel’s biggest lobbyists in the United States. If you want to be elected president these days, you need about a billion dollars for your campaign. So when someone gives you $250 million, like Miriam Adelson did to support Trump in the last election, that buys a lot of influence.”

Trump; “He’d call and say, can I come over, please? And what he did is he fought for Israel. That’s all he really fought for.”

Trevor Hayes; “In the first Trump administration, they cashed in by getting Trump to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. And side note, the government actually sold the US ambassador’s house in Tel Aviv quickly so a future administration couldn’t move the embassy back. Who did they sell it to? The Adelsons. Then they pushed Trump to recognise the Golan Heights, a historically disputed territory occupied by Israel in 1967, as officially part of Israel.”

Trump; “They were very responsible for so much, including getting me thinking about Golan Heights.”

Trevor Hayes; “And they lobbied hard for Trump to kill the Iran nuclear agreement negotiated by the Obama administration. All of these choices pushed the US closer to Israel and closer to a conflict with Iran, which is exactly what the Adelsons were paying for. So now when Marco Rubio says, ‘we knew that there was going to be an Israeli action, we knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces’, we can better understand what’s actually going on here. Israel is leading the charge. This is a war for their benefit. Iran is Israel’s biggest regional rival. So if Iran is brought in line, Israel becomes the uncontested power in the region. Trump is falling in line because he’s bought and paid for by Republican mega donors like the Adelsons.”

Trump; “I know you love Israel. What do you love more, the United States or Israel? She refused to answer. That might mean Israel, I must say.”

Trevor Hayes; “Over the next few days and weeks, you’re going to hear a lot about imminent threats, defensive strikes and national security. The reality of this war is much more simple. It’s a war being launched to satisfy the demands of a small handful of billionaires.”

Trump is following zionist orders

Watch; Israeli Infiltration Of Trump Admin Explained In Three Minutes The Grayzone, 5 March 2026

Jimmy Dore; “So here is that clip you’re talking about with Marco Rubio, which hammers home what you’re saying about that Israel is our leader and we’re following them, and our government has been taken over by zionists.”

Rubio; “We knew that there was going to be an Israeli action. We knew that that would precipitate an attack against American forces. And we knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties and perhaps even higher those killed.”

Jimmy Dore; “You want to respond to that a little?”

Max Blumenthal; “He’s openly admitting it. When you look at the photo of The Situation Room and you see Trump is with the A team in Mar a Lago, when they just decided to, go in and bomb. The B team is actually in the Oval Office or in the White House Situation Room, and the B team is JD Vance, Tulsi Gabbard. That crew that’s more likely to be dissenters. They’re just there for window dressing. The A Team is in control. Who’s the A team? First of all, Susie Wiles, chief of staff, controls who’s in the room and everything Trump sees and hears. She is the most dangerous person in Washington. She worked for Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump’s chief of staff was hired by Benjamin Netanyahu to help assist his 2020 reelection campaign. So she’s a paid vehicle for Israeli influence. Then Marco Rubio is in there of course, his whole career has been paid for by two figures, pretty much, the Adelson family and Paul Singer, who’s also one of Trump’s top donors. Paul Singer is like Marco Rubio’s pimp. This guy donates to politics on behalf of Israel. And then you have John Ratcliffe, who is being called by junior staffers the Mossad stenographer because he hosts his counterpart, Mossad Director David Barnea, constantly. Barnea tells him what to tell the President. The AIPAC new CEO, in leaked comments that I exposed at the Grayzone, the new CEO of AIPAC said, we’ve been working with Marco Rubio and John Ratcliffe and Mike Waltz, who’s now the UN Ambassador for the US, we’ve been working with them for so long because they were in Congress, and when they all started running for Congress, we recruited them and we made sure that we supported them for their entire congressional career, so that when they went into the Trump administration, we had clear lines of communication with all of the national security principles.”

Eliott Brandt, CEO AIPAC; “When I was talking about the people who will get appointed to some of these jobs, like at the top level, you talk about Marco Rubio, Elise Stefanik, about Michael Walz, those people have something in common, they all served in Congress, they all have relationships with key AIPAC leaders from their communities.”

Max Blumenthal; “So that’s Israel’s unregistered foreign lobby. The CEO saying they basically have these guys like puppets on a string.”

Read; China and Israel’s belt and road to tyranny by Paul Cudenec, 9 March 2026

‘The conflict between Israel/USA and Iran is not “real total war”, argues Mads Palsvig, the Danish former executive at Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse and Barclays who has now turned whistleblower and dissident. He writes: “You saw the Ayatollah getting the Covid jabs… They are all assets in the staged plan towards Pax Silica, the AI control grid future of 15 minute smart cities – and AI targeted individuals will be arrested and taken out. “You thought the subsequent inflation from Covid quantitative easing is hard, well wait for the inflation from this war caused by massively increased gas and oil prices, all getting us accelerated to Zero 2030. “You thought the migration flows from [the] Syrian war was bad, get ready for more. This war will burn the unstable Europe and assist in the long-prepared Israeli pivot to Communist China”. This last point fits in very well with the historical involvement of the zio-globalist mafia with the Beijing regime which I explored in a recent essay. The murky links between China and the global mafia – which Meeuwis T. Baaijen terms “Glafia” – are buried deep within the worlds not only of finance and industry but also of organized crime – trafficking in drugs, weapons, animals, organs, people…

As Baaijen writes in The Predators versus The People, the criminal Triads, who had a role akin to Freemasons in the West, have since long been in cahoots with the Hong Kong tycoons and the Chinese Communist Party, together forming a “Glafia-subordinate gangster elite”. Those activities are not readily visible or verifiable, but, on the other hand, we can very easily inform ourselves about the Zionist state’s relationship with China. In the light of some people’s refusal to recognise the reality of these connections, I draw here from some helpful articles published on the issue over the last decade. An up-to-date perspective on the China-Israel situation was provided on March 3 2026 by the South China Morning Post. If the world was the way we are told it is, China would have cut all links with Israel after the US-aided assault on its great ally Iran and the murder of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Indeed: “Beijing strongly condemned the killing of Khamenei, calling it a ‘serious violation of Iran’s sovereignty and security’ and warning that the escalation risked further destabilising the region”. But that was just words. Chen Guangmeng, executive dean of the Academy of International and Regional Studies at Sichuan International Studies University, told the newspaper that China would not – and did not need to – abandon its long-standing “balanced diplomacy” in the Middle East, but must pursue a “strategic rebalancing” to adapt to the shock waves created by US-Israeli military action. “On relations with Israel, China will maintain political neutrality and economic pragmatism in parallel,” Chen said. “[China] will not be drawn into US-Iran confrontation, nor compromise on its principled positions, while continuing normal economic and people-to-people cooperation”.’

Listen; Livestream: Trump misjudged Iran, The Electronic Intifada, 4 March 2026

Muhammad Shehada; “If you look at the small print in the new Rafah plan, people there would not be given any housing, there would not be any permanent structure, they would be shipping containers. It’s called Containerised Smart Housing Solutions. People in the new Rafah would have to submit to thorough, meticulous, around the clock biometric surveillance 24/7, they would not be allowed to have any independent thinking. The educational material that would be put there will be imported directly from the Emirates, co-authored by the Israelis, and then spoon fed to children there. People in that area, they would basically, according to Aryeh Lightstone, that grand architect of that new Rafah plan, they would have only one freedom, and that is the freedom to move into Egypt and beyond. Quite literally, that’s the only freedom that they would have. They don’t have the freedom to go back to West Gaza, it’s only to Egypt and beyond. Otherwise, you stay stuck there. You get food rations that are distributed on a daily basis with this biometric surveillance, otherwise you’re good for dead. The idea of New Rafah was born out of two precedents. One is Syria. Back in the first Trump administration, there was the idea of new Syria, old Syria, west and east, and they were divided by the Euphrates. And Trump’s administration were talking about East Syria, the area run by the Kurds, becoming a new Dubai, a new Singapore, a new whatever. And it turned out to be a scam. They kept talking about that new Syria would have reconstruction money, funding, it would prosper. West Syria under the Syrian government would be sanctioned, buried under sanctions. People there would starve to death, it would wither and die. And people there would be begging, kicking and screaming to be allowed into East Syria. That was one precedent. The other one is the genocide in Myanmar. So the Burmese government is accused of genocide. A lot of European governments join the filing at the ICC and say it is a genocide, although they use the exact same argument that they deny when it comes to Gaza. But as soon as that issue becomes a debacle to the Burmese government, they resort to a PR stunt. And that was to create what is called a model village. They created two model villages that are housing at most 314 Rohingya families out of 1.2 million people that were kicked out to Bangladesh. And people in those two model villages are caged in, are basically prisoners. And the housing that they have there, it’s called dwellings, it doesn’t have a bathroom, doesn’t have a kitchen, there’s no communal kitchen, there’s no electricity, there’s no infrastructure, there’s no transport. And that’s exactly the blueprint for New Rafah. And on top of this, the people that would design this very primitive cage, I saw an image of the rendering, what it should look like. It looked like a prison from El Salvador. And the people that would design this, they are bragging that they are set to make 300% profit out of this.”

Presenter; “Palestinians, however, are almost totally excluded from the governance of Gaza that the Trump administration is trying to impose, except for the so called National Committee for the Administration of Gaza. This is a small group of Palestinians handpicked by the United States that will supposedly run local affairs in Gaza. It’s nominally headed by someone named Ali Shah. He’s a civil engineer originally from Gaza and a former official in the Palestinian Authority. He comes from a family with extensive ties to the Fatah faction run by the PA chief, Mahmoud Abbas. Can you give us an update on the the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, what it’s doing, how much actual involvement and on the ground administration it will be allowed to do if it can do anything, and how much credibility it has on the ground.”

Muhammad Shehada; “Well, basically, one important point that you mentioned, Noura, is the exclusion of Palestinians from governance. It’s because the us, the Trump administration, is not planning to have any governance in Gaza. None whatsoever. They just look at this as a commercial opportunity. It’s a quick get rich scam. They basically look at Gaza and see how can we make the most out of it. To line up in the pockets of Kushner, his buddies, Trump, his buddies, Ari Lightstone and his buddies, etc. And these are the words of people that are dealing with Ari Lightstone, with Kushner, with Trump that I’ve spoken to. They keep telling me this whole new Gaza plan, this whole Trump deal is all about getting a lot of people rich and that’s it. If there is anything that concerns the people of Gaza, it would be relegating them to cheap labour, to a tax haven that would be established there with tax free startups, with zero regulations. That is basically the report that came out in Israel’s Channel 12 many months ago. It came out, I think about six or seven months ago, laid out the footprint of what was announced at that Board of Peace meeting. It basically said Larry Ellison, Peter Thiel, Jared Kushner, all of those billionaire buddies, they have their eyes on Gaza as a tax haven where they would exploit the population as cheap labour. That’s the end of the story. That’s why there’s no structure of governance. The Board of peace, the CMCC, CMCC is a facade. So you have two American military people, a general, colonial soldiers, etc. And you have 12 countries that sent a lot of diplomats in. I’ve spoken to them. There’s nothing there. They keep trying to come up with plans, they keep trying to come up with what they call technical solutions, technical middle grounds. And by the time they come up with a plan, Israel would drown them with talking points. For example, something as simple as trying to get tents into Gaza, Israel is saying, no, we’re not going to allow any tents into Gaza because the metal, the little bit, the tiny amount of aluminium that goes into the tent structure can be utilised by Hamas to create weapons of mass destruction. That’s the Israeli alibi. And then CMCC would try to rework all sorts of alternative solutions. Maybe we can put some wood inside the tents instead and blah, blah, blah. By the time they figure out something, Israel would bury it. The person in charge of cmcc, the person that reports to Trump and Kushner, is Ari Lightstone, an Orthodox rabbi from New York. That was David Friedman’s advisor. David Friedman is the American ambassador, the worst ambassador in the US history in Israel. Basically a settler, an Israeli settler with an American hat. And what you had that was in the first Trump administration. Precisely. And now Ari Lightstone has been named as an advisor to the Board of Peace. People that have met him, people that know him well, told me that he is way more right wing than Netanyahu, way more ideological and quote, hates Palestinians with passions. That’s the guy that’s calling the shots on Gaza.”

Listen; Why are USA & Israel bombing schools & hospitals in Iran? They want societal collapse Geopolitical Economy Report, 6 March 2026

“The Trump administration is proud of the fact that it is targeting civilians and trying to destroy Iranian society. The US Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, who renamed the Pentagon from the Department of Defence to the Department of War, which is much more accurate, Hegseth gave a press conference in which he boasted that this is not a fair fight. ‘And the US Is punching Iranians. Well, they’re down. We’re playing for keeps. Our war fighters have maximum authorities, granted personally by the President and yours truly. Our rules of engagement are bold, precise, and designed to unleash American power, not shackle it. This was never meant to be a fair fight, and it is not a fair fight. We are punching them while they’re down, which is exactly how it should be.’ In case it wasn’t already obvious that the US government is proud of the fact that it’s targeting civilian areas in Iran and trying to destroy Iranian society, listen to this other clip here, where Pete Hegseth boasts that the US military is raining upon Iran. Quote, death and destruction from the sky all day long, end quote. This sounds like a quote from a supervillain in a Hollywood movie.”

Listen; Jeffrey Sachs: We Are Now in the Early Days of World War III, Glenn Diesen, 8 March 2026

Jeffrey Sachs; “The idea that the US runs the world, rules the world, dominates the world can have its way is a madness. It’s been a madness for decades, but it’s been a repeated madness that leads to millions of deaths all over the world, whether in Vietnam or across wars of the Middle East. Second, the misjudgment about Russia is the reason for the Ukraine war. The US never expected Russia to resist NATO enlargement, never expected to be able to stand up to the United States for one moment. This is both a denigration of Russia and a profoundly delusional exaggeration of American power. Both go hand in hand. But the war in Ukraine is fundamentally the result of an American delusion spelled out helpfully by zbigniew Brzezinski in 1997 because he spelled out in the grand chessboard exactly what the delusion is. And he concluded Russia could not resist the eastward enlargement of NATO and Europe. So that’s. And then the. The other fly in the ointment is Israel. Israel is a crazy rogue state with the half its political leadership in the mindset of the 5th century BC reading some text from King Josiah. And there Israel has just plunged the world into probably the third World War, but into a phenomenal economic crisis. This is the timing, the instigation is Israel’s. The fact that the US goes along with it is because it’s completely coherent with the US hegemonic project. But this is Israel’s complete madness. And because of the hold of the Israel lobby in the United States, that madness isn’t even examined. Excuse me, we has an ambassador in Israel. The US has an ambassador named Mike Huckabee who is a, let’s just say a minor Protestant evangelical theologian, if I could put it that way. But that’s a very polite way to put it. And he said two weeks ago, yes, Israel owns the land from the Nile to the Euphrates. And when Tucker Carlson asked him, excuse me, they own the land, could they take it? Said sure, yeah, sure, they could take it. This is again what’s sometimes called by psychologists or psychiatrists of Foley Ado. This is a craziness of Israel matched by a craziness of the United States. Israel wants to be the hegemon from the Nile to the Euphrates or beyond. The United States wants to be the hegemon of the world. That’s a long standing project. And here we are in the early shooting of World War Three. Unless somehow somebody stands up and stops the madness, the ones that are most likely to do it in the end are China and Russia, because they are mature, over aware and not really so happy about this US hegemonic project. If India would recognise its own interest, clearly it would also play a very major role in this. But India has signed on to the US project to some extent, and it raises a big question. What is India thinking? What are the Indian leaders thinking? They had the British Empire for a couple of centuries. It should have been enough. They should have good instincts to know, don’t follow the US Empire in this kind of madness.”

Ex diplomat and intelligence officer Alastair Crooke explains how Netanyahu manoeuvred Trump into war with Iran.

Listen; Can Israel & the U.S. Sustain Iran’s Military Power? The Chris Hedges Report, 6 March 2026

Alastair Crooke; “It was reported extensively in the Hebrew press, not in English language press, but in the Hebrew press, which we monitor quite carefully, when Netanyahu went at the end of the year 28th, 29th of December to Mar a Lago for his summit with Trump, at that summit, he said some things which were a little bit surprising, but are relevant to today. He said to him, listen, the nuclear issue isn’t the issue. I’m not going to tell you they’re a month away from a nuclear weapon. No, actually, what I’m going to tell you is you’ve got to change the priorities. The first priority is the Iranian missile system. We have to destroy that because what is happening is the system is becoming more, much more sophisticated. It’s not just that after the June war, they have replaced it, they have created a completely new defence paradigm in the interim, and it has several layers to it. And I’m telling you that if you do not destroy the missile system, even if Iran got a nuclear weapon, we knew that it was going to move to a nuclear weapon, we could do nothing about it because we wouldn’t be able to penetrate that umbrella. And he said, so this is what you have to do. And Trump agreed at that point and gave the green light for an attack on Iran. This is reported in various Hebrew accounts of this meeting that took place, that he agreed to do an attack. And even the date was more or less set. In fact, the date changed a little bit, but it was set for a certain week, as we’ve seen at this time. And Netanyahu also in these accounts, was very clear in saying, very clear in saying to Trump, listen, you have to do this. And furthermore, if you try and do a nuclear agreement, if you try and come up with some nuclear way through, look, I’m the one who gives this a kosher certificate. He used those words, ‘kosher certificate’. You’re not going to get a ‘kosher certificate’ for a nuclear agreement anyway. And you know that the right wing in America will take their lead from me. No certificate. You will be seen to fail. And what’s more, if you don’t do it still, we will do the first attack. And let’s see you not join us. Of course, you have no choice. You have to join us. So really, in some respects, you could say that Trump had no option. He was not given an option but to attack Iran. And then the actual pretext, the peg to hang it on, has changed several times since that time. The nuclear issue or weapons searching around for, if you like, the pretext to, to, to really hide that, the fact that this was compelled on him by Netanyahu, which is what Rubio admitted.

There is a tone of jihad, of holy war. And this is being, of course, this is being amplified by the fact that in the United States, some of the instructions for commanders to brief the, their troops saying this is a God’s war and the Trump is the instrument of God pursuing this war and that it was written in the Bible. I believe, you know more than me, there have been many protests amongst the military at these instructions that they’ve received. In a sense this is a sort of eschatological element within the US, and of course each is feeding the others escathological sentiments.”

Chris Hedges; “So there’s heavy military censorship imposed in Israel. You’ve worked there, I’ve worked there. It’s hard from a distance to get a read as to how effective the strikes have been. What are your impressions?”

Alastair Crooke; “What you say is absolutely correct. The censorship is absolutely tight. Anyone trying to film is immediately arrested or stopped. It’s very hard to get facts. But I was listening to Colonel Wilkinson just recently who was Colin Powell’s Chief of Staff in that time, a military man with much experience, and he said he had witnessed some real videos coming out of Tel Aviv and he said, this is not AI, this is the real stuff that has come through, and he saw, watching a 15 minute video and he said it is absolutely devastating what is coming there. It is relentless and it is continuous, and you see at the end of there aren’t even any intercept missiles at that point.

You have the old legacy elements of Ashkenazi that is European Jewry, which is the military command, the judiciary, the Supreme Court. All of those have been almost defeated by Netanyahu during this period. And there is extreme bitterness about the consequences of this. And I think it’s very hard to see it not destroying itself because of what I keep saying to people, that you cannot understand Israel through a secular rationalist lens. You have to understand it through the lens of an eschatological or even a messianic sentiment, because that is what is driving the right. I remember seeing a video of Smotrich some years ago, and he was saying, well we’re taking back Gaza and we’re taking back the West Bank, et cetera, et cetera. And he said, but you know what we need is a huge crisis or a big war and then we’ll complete our project. In other words, you can’t say, oh, look, it’s silly. I mean, why would Netanyahu want to launch this war against Iran? Because they welcome Armageddon, many of them on the far right. It’s not because they’ve got a strategic calculus about it. They believe that this is as foretold and this is the way it is going to be and it’s going to take us to redemption and the Messiah will come, everything will change. And this is why I think it was so astonishing for me to hear almost the same language being laid out in the general orders that were handed out to commanders from the Hegseth side of the United States. I think it’s going to be long war. The Iranians are not about to surrender. Why should they? They are in the driving seat. It’s for America to lose this war. Iran wins it by surviving, and it wins it because of the symbolic position of having defeated a mythical army that was invulnerable, that couldn’t ever be attacked or defeated. So I think it will be a long war and the consequences, we can just glimpse a few of them, but not map it out in a coherent structural way.”

Chris Hedges; “Let me just close by asking about the Palestinians, what this means for the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Does this give figures like Smotrich and others a cover to expel them.”

Alastair Crooke; “Yes that is what they that’s how they are thinking but I think that as Israel or at least the military part of Israel gets closer to looking at their reserves of munitions and their dwindling reserves of the munitions they are thinking about how can we de escalate and certainly if someone asked me what would be the demands of Israel if there were to be which I don’t see at the moment to be some understanding, I would say of course the first thing would be the ending of all sanctions and tariffs on Iran and the return of all its frozen assets, and secondly the removal of the Israeli troops from Gaza and from the West Bank. Iran has always supported the Palestinians I mean not always in the field in that way but it has been a key element of Iranian ethical perspective of the world, the ethical principles has been the support for Palestinians.”

Watch; Professor Jiang Predicts: US WILL LOSE Iran War krystalmball, 3 March 2026

Professor Jiang; “The reality is that right now it’s a war of attrition between the United States and Iran. And the Iranians have been preparing 20 years for this conflict and now they have a pretty good strategy of how to weaken and ultimately destroy the American empire. So what the Iranians are doing is they’re waging war against the entire global economy, and so they are striking the GCC countries, they’re going after the critical energy infrastructure, they blocked off the trip of Hormuz, and eventually they will go after the water desalination plants, which is a lifeblood of these nations because they don’t have fresh water supply. The Iranians are actually threatening the very existence of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and why this is important is that the Gulf states are really the lynchpin of the American economy. So what they do is they sell petrodollars and then they recycle the petrodollars back into the American economy through the investments in the stock market. And right now we know that the entire American economy is propped up by AI investments in data centres. And a lot of that comes from the Gulf states. So if the Gulf states are no longer able to sell oil and they’re no longer able to finance AI, this AI bubble in the United States, then this AI bubble will burst and with it will burst as well as well the entire American economy, which is really a financial Ponzi scheme.”

Presenter; “An Amazon data centre was literally hit in the UAE. We also wanted to talk to you about munitions. The United States is racing to accomplish Iran mission before munitions run out.”

Professor Jiang; “The United States military is not designed to fight a 21st century war. Remember the military industrial complex came to being after World War II and it was designed to fight the Cold War and the Cold War was really about muscle flexing, who was the first get the person on the moon, and so the entire American military strategy revolves around very sophisticated technology that cost a lot of money to build. And that’s what the American air defence system is, and that’s why we’re seeing this asymmetry in this war where you have these million dollar missiles trying to take out these $50,000 drones and it’s not sustainable in the long term. And so what we’re seeing is really the puncturing of the aura of invincibility that sustained American hegemony for the past 20 years.”

Watch; Seyed M. Marandi: War of Attrition – Iran’s Retaliatory Strikes, Glenn Diesen, 1 March 2026

‘While the US and Israel aim for a quick regime change war, Iran believes it will prevail over time as it becomes a war of attrition. Seyed Mohammad Marandi is a professor at Tehran University and a former advisor to Iran’s Nuclear Negotiation Team.’

Professor Seyed Marandi; “Ayatollah Khamenei was a towering figure and he spoke four languages. He was a master in Persian literature. He was a master in Azeriand Arabic literature. And he also knew English. That’s something that I have personal knowledge about. He has read numerous novels that I know of in English. One of his favourite Western novels that he read in English was Les Miserable, the Miserables by Victor Hugo. And then he was in prison before the revolution multiple times. And then after the revolution when the war started. He was one of the leaders of the revolution when the war started. He went to the war front as a volunteer, even though he had no military experience. He gained his experience in the battles during the first months of World War where the Iranian armed forces were in a bit in a mess because it was just after the revolution and the whole army and the armed forces had been badly weakened. A lot of officers deserted and conscripts deserted in support of the revolution. And then a lot of the generals left the country and some of who were captured. So the army wasn’t in a good shape when Saddam invaded. That’s one reason why they did obviously invade. And the guards back then only had a few light guns. So when he went, they were basically fighting not as well trained soldiers, but as volunteers face had literally nothing really or very little in the face of a very powerful army. When he became president at the end of the war, near the end, when the Americans joined in and fought alongside Saddam Hussein, the, the war became much more difficult and he left Tehran and went to the war fronts and he went to the most sensitive areas as the battles were taking place and there was a lot of concern that he would be killed, but he wanted to be there to boost morale. So he is that sort of person we saw that he stayed in his office. He was passing during Ramadan and he was at work and he was hit. So the West and anti Iranian and propaganda was saying that he was hiding somewhere or. But he was, he was in his office. We’ve seen people in the streets Go out in the streets spontaneously. EARL FROM since early this morning and people were out till late last night not knowing that he was a martyred. But then again, they went out early this morning. So there’s a lot of people are in mourning and overwhelmingly he, he’s, he’s a, he’s a very popular figure and in the west would like to portray him as unpopular and hate it. But you saw the February 11th, and I’m sure many of your viewers did rallies on the anniversary of the revolution. It’s clear where popular sentiment in Iran lies, despite the, the sanctions and the difficulties and the, and the hardship that’s imposed on the people. But in any case he will be remembered as a martyr for Palestine and a martyr for the oppressed and of someone who made Iran strong’.

‘Ayatollah Khamenei’s stature in the eyes of people, as I said before, has grown. He’s become a great martyr of the revolution, someone who many would have preferred him. I mean overwhelmingly people would have preferred him not to have stayed at home or at his office but that was his decision to stay put apparently. He said that many people don’t have anywhere to go so I’m not going anywhere either. That’s that was his worldview. So the point is that they should have understood this but they can’t because of their narratives and their Orientalism and racism.”

The US is fighting for global hegemony; Jeffrey Sachs is visibly disgusted

Watch; This is nothing about imminent threat, Jeffrey Sachs, 28 February 2026

Jeffrey Sachs; “This is an attempt to overthrow Iran, but it’s part of a larger picture. The United States is fighting to this moment for global hegemony. Have no doubt about it. This is part of a world war that the US is waging. And the war comes in Venezuela. The war is already in Cuba. Yesterday the President said that the US would make a friendly takeover of Cuba. The war is in the Middle East. Europe is already a vassal region of the United States. So this is the US attempting, even in what is actually a multipolar world, to maintain its global hegemony. Of course, when you operate with such extraordinary violence, recklessness, lies and delusion, the results can be completely catastrophic. So my point is this is not for any of the reasons alleged, that there was some imminent threat from Iran. Exactly the opposite. As the Omani mediator said repeatedly, including after the launch of the war, the negotiations were proceeding, making progress, and proceeding in an orderly way. I speak frequently with the Iranians. They were not only ready to negotiate, they already negotiated 10 years ago all of these arrangements.

ISRAEL, GAZA

Watch; Francesca Albanese denounces Israel’s systematic torture of Palestinians Al Jazeera, 23 March 2026

Francesca Albanese; “Between October 2023 and January 2026, Israeli forces arrested more than 18,500 Palestinians, (including children) especially if they were doctors, journalists or humanitarians. Nearly 100 of them died in custody. Thousands detained without charge, held in inhuman conditions, beaten, shackled, sexually abused, denied medical care, starved, raped. Israel has effectively been given a licence to torture Palestinians because most of your government, your ministers, have allowed it. Authorities openly boost about the sadistic treatment in fact inflicted on Palestinian detainees, while journalists and other civilians have been granted access to witness and even film their humiliation. Officials caught on camera sodomising a Palestinian detainee with a knife are publicly celebrated. The criminal charges against them were recently dropped. And my report also shows that torture extends far beyond prison walls, in what can only be described as a torturous environment imposed by Israel across the entire occupied Palestinian territory. ‘The assaults were violent, with batons and boots, leaving prisoners bleeding on the ground. They would beat prisoners, force them to insult each other and even howl like animals. They unleashed police dogs on us again, allowing them to tear into our flesh. One dog attacked a fellow detainee and started mauling his genitals. He bled to death in my arms. A doctor, shielded in a cage, examined him from a distance and said, throw him outside. The dead bodies, the explosion, it’s too much. We’re like the walking dead. Aid scars the constant buzz of the drone is unbearable. You don’t understand. It eats at my bones.’ Disregard for international law will not stop in Palestine. It is already unfolding from Lebanon to Iran, across the Gulf countries and in Venezuela. And if left unchecked, it will spread far beyond. What is lost in Palestine will be lost to us all.”

Read; UN experts urge Israel to release detained Gaza doctor after reports of ‘severe torture’ Middle East Monitor, 24 March 2026

‘UN experts demanded Tuesday that Israel immediately release a detained Palestinian doctor from the Gaza Strip, citing reports of torture and serious health risks, Anadolu reports. “We have received reports that Dr. Abu Safiya has been subjected to torture and other cruel and degrading treatment, and that his health condition remains dire,” the experts said in a statement.The statement was signed by Tialeng Mofokeng, the UN special rapporteur on the right to physical and mental health, and Ben Saul, the UN special rapporteur on protection of human rights while countering terrorism.

Safiya, the former director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, has been held by Israel since Dec. 27, 2024, under Israel’s unlawful combatant law, despite being a civilian medical practitioner. The experts said his detention appears “flagrantly arbitrary” and inconsistent with international standards, including the Mandela Rules, which require access to health care for detainees. “He has been systematically denied critical medical examination and treatment,” they said, warning that his life and well-being have been “gravely endangered.” They also stressed that all states have an obligation to protect health care workers and ensure the rights of detainees, including freedom from torture and access to medical care. The experts highlighted violence against health workers and facilities in Gaza, saying the abuses continue despite a ceasefire. “Israel must release Dr. Abu Safiya and all health care workers, and ensure they have access to appropriate medical care,” they said, urging the international community to act.’

Professor David Miller breaks down his claim that Pax Judaica will be replacing Pax America as the New World Hegemon.

Watch; Breaking down Pax Judaica, David Miller with Sulaiman Ahmed, 2 March 2026

David Miller; “So Pax Judaica is the successor to Pax Americana, which was American hegemony all over the world, which of course was the successor to Pax Britannica. The US empire ran the world essentially from 1945, give or take, and now that empire is falling. Some people say, ‘oh, well it’s falling to the variety of powers around the world, the BRICS nations, Russia and China, Iran and Venezuela, etc’. I don’t believe that’s true. I believe what’s happening is that US power is declining, but that in that context, the power which is ascending, is the power, it’s not quite right to say the power of Israel, it’s not quite right to say the power of zionism, essentially, this is the thrusting into being of a Jewish empire. That sounds completely crazy to many people for many different reasons. People from the right and the left think it’s not correct. Let me try and explain what I mean by that. So over the last 30 or 40 years or so, the zionists have been able to infiltrate most of the western powers, in particular, most obviously, the US. Now, they did that beginning back in the fifties the recruitment of senior US intelligence officials to be effective assets and agents of Mossad. The most important one is a guy called James Jesus Angleton, who was the deputy head of counterintelligence, for whom there are now two monuments in occupied Palestine. There are no other American intelligence officials who have two monuments in the zionist entity. That’s the first sign of this. He was important in stealing the nuclear secrets, the fact that they’ve now got nuclear weapons and all of that stuff. The second element, and really the closure of this process, is the rise of the neoconservatives. Famously, these are people who are recruited by the CIA on the non-communist left. Some of them think of themselves as Trotskyists. And by the time we get to the 1980s, they have bypassed the CIA from the left to the right, and they become ultra Republicans, in fact zionist Republicans. They were very influential on the Reagan administration, but then most significantly in relation to Bush Two and the illegal invasion and occupation and destruction of Iraq on behalf of Israel. So by the time we get to the neocons, we’ve effectively got the zionists controlling the interest of US power. Anyone who looks at that period in the run-up to Iraq can see that that’s the case. The only kind of argument that people have against that is to say, ‘it was done on behalf of the oil industry’. Well, no, it was done on behalf of Israel. The same is true in France and Germany and the UK, where it is impossible now for any mainstream party to even be mildly critical of zionism. Simply impossible. So that’s what I mean by Pax Judaica being the beginnings of the infiltration and colonisation and state capture of western nations. But it’s not just in those nations where it’s important. Now it used to be the case, even several months ago, that if you said the zionists want a greater Israel, people would say, ‘oh no, that’s just antisemitic conspiracy theory.’ But now everyone recognises that they want a greater Israel. They’d been explicit about that going back to Herzl and David Ben-Gurion and of course the Yinon Plan and all of those things. Yes, of course they want a greater Israel and they as we know occupy parts of Syria now that they didn’t occupy a year and a half ago and occupy extra parts of Lebanon. They were beaten back from most parts of Lebanon by Hezbollah but they still have several sites in Lebanon that they’ve newly occupied in the last year or so. They were wanting to take over the rest of what was called greater Israel, what they call Eretz Israel, the land of Israel, which they think means half of Saudi Arabia, of Jordan, of Lebanon, of Syria, of Turkey, most of Iraq, and in fact the whole region is part of it, Egypt of course as well. But they don’t just want Greater Israel. There’s a little interesting snippet the other day, was it yesterday or today, where there’s an indication that they’re going to build a Jewish neighborhood in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, which of course is the main vassal of Pax Judaica in West Asia. So they’ve launched this process, they were open about it in 2020, the process of normalisation, which of course was led by the UAE, supported by the Saudis, Bahrain is also involved, is an attempt to control the whole of West Asia. If you look further afield, they’re also heavily involved in subverting and infiltrating most countries in Africa, parts of East and Southeast Asia, and indeed of course Latin America, where we see what’s just happened in relation to Venezuela, where the deal which has been done there, whatever that is, is being done for the interests of the zionists, not for the interests of US imperialism. So that’s my brief sketch through what I believe is the beginnings of Jewish empire, and if we don’t stop it, this will be something which aims to be, to use the terminology, a thousand-year Reich.”

Read; Drugs, sexual blackmail: shocking confession letter exposes Israel’s Red Crescent spy ring by Kit Klarenberg and Jonathan Urmeneta, The Grayzone, 26 March 2026

A bombshell confession letter obtained by The Grayzone reveals Israeli intelligence recruited an asset in the Palestinian Red Crescent, who admitted using drugs and sexual blackmail to create a “network of informants” which could infiltrate and destroy resistance groups.

A leaked confession indicates the Red Crescent was infiltrated by Israeli intelligence, which exploited its collaborator network within the Occupied Palestinian Territories to engage in criminal activity including drug trafficking, shocking acts of sexual blackmail, and political executions.

The document was obtained by The Grayzone, which verified its authenticity through two West Bank sources with knowledge of the case. Originally published by the State of Palestine Public Prosecution, the letter shines a light on the inner workings of Tel Aviv’s espionage network inside the West Bank, revealing how resistance groups are infiltrated and monitored, while common Palestinians are press-ganged into serving the apartheid state.

The confession traces the story of a longstanding Palestinian collaborator within the Red Crescent who was originally recruited by Israel in December 2004, following “security incidents” across the West Bank during the height of the Second Intifada.

At this time, the Palestinian visited an Israeli “field interrogation center” established near their home. Struggling financially as the primary breadwinner in a fatherless family, they were considered an ideal recruit by Israel’s intelligence services. The Grayzone has omitted the identities of the Palestinians named in the confession letter.

Tucker Carlson asks Mike Huckabee, US ambassador to Israel, why Netanyahu, who is not religious, comes from the US and is not descended from Abraham, should have the right to occupy Palestinian land.

Watch; Listen to this, @Michael33a, 15 March 2026

Tucker Carlson; “Abraham’s descendants are the ones who have the right to have this land, correct?”

Mike Huckabee; “Yes. Okay.”

Tucker Carlson; “Why don’t we do genetic testing on everybody in the land and find out who Abraham’s descendants are? It’s really simple. We’ve cracked the human genome. We can do that. Why don’t we do that? Would you be against doing that?”

Mike Huckabee; “I have no idea what that would prove. I mean, maybe it would be…”

Tucker Carlson; “It would prove who Abraham’s descendants are and who has a right to live here and who doesn’t, according to the theology that you yourself just explained. And so I’m very confused as to why we don’t do that. If you believe the theology that you’ve just explained to me.”

Mike Huckabee; “Would we do that all over the world?”

Tucker Carlson; “This is the only country in the world that you’ve said has this covenant with God, that this people have a moral and legal right to the land.”

Mike Huckabee; “But there are people who may not have bloodlines, but who have converted to Judaism. Are they going to be able to live here? Are you going to kick them out?”

Tucker Carlson; “By your standards, they can’t live here. You just said to me that they have a right to live here because God gave them the land, because they’re the descendants of Abraham, the citizens of Abraham.”

Mike Huckabee; “But if they’re the spiritual descendants of Abraham and they’ve now decided that they’re converting to Judaism, then do they have a right to live in Israel?”

Tucker Carlson; “Since you began this conversation by asking me did I think they had a right to come here? Yeah, that’s my question was on what basis do they have the right? And you said because God granted it to…”.

Mike Huckabee; “And I also said because that there should be a land where Jews can live in peace and safety.”

Tucker Carlson; “And I asked you what a Jew was and you couldn’t answer it. You said it partly is religious, but doesn’t have to be. It’s partly genetic, but it doesn’t have to be. And so that you can see why I’m..”

Mike Huckabee; ” I think I was very clear.”

Tucker Carlson; “Bibi’s family, we know they lived in Eastern Europe. There’s no evidence they ever lived here. He’s not religious, but in what sense do you have his family tree now? We don’t. Do you? He doesn’t. No one does. That’s the point. So how does he know that he has any connection to this land at all?”

Mike Huckabee; “And if there has been a practice of Judaism and a connection to the language, the Bible, the land…”

Tucker Carlson; “His ancestors didn’t. He doesn’t practise Judaism in any rigorous way. His ancestors didn’t live here. They didn’t speak the language and there’s no evidence they ever lived here. So in the territory that Israel controls today, particularly in the West Bank, who, through genetic testing, we can know their families have been here for thousands of years. We don’t know whether they practise Judaism, whether they were Samaritans, pr-Islam. We don’t know that. A lot of them we know have been Christians for 2,000 years. They have less of a right to the land than someone whose ancestors, the only thing we know about them is they lived in Latvia or Poland, they’re Eastern European. How does that work?”

Jeffrey Sachs ridicules Jewish supremacism

Watch; Jeffrey Sachs on Judaism’s ‘Chosenness’ Supremacy or Burden? Jay Shapiro Dilemma Podcast, 16 March 2026

Jay Shapiro; “Neither of us are theologians and I think there is a conversation to be had about a problem with the chosen-peopleness aspect of Judaism that somehow also bleeds into a psychology or an attitude which allows you to dominate other people”.

Jeffrey Sachs; “Well, I do think, of course, this is the jewish power party in Israel, this is Smotrich and Ben Gvir. It’s real, that ideology, that’s the type one ideology. Chosen-ness, that meant a big burden, you are going to have to follow a heck of a lot of rules and you’re going to have a guilt complex and you better behave. So the idea of chosen-ness according to rabbinic judaism was simply a burden on your shoulders. But it can turn into a kind of supremacy in the hands of these maniacs, and it has and it’s very, very dangerous. One of Netanyahu’s, who’s probably the type 2, which is we’re going to kill before anybody kills us, one of his manoeuvres, which is so ugly and destructive of real Jewish values, and that’s why I regard the zionism of today as antithetical to Jewish values, not part of it at all is that Netanyahu already in the 1980s sensed, ‘I’m going to get together with the Christian zionists, with the most fundamentalist right wing Christian evangelical Protestants who want Armageddon to accelerate and we’ll outsmart them in the end. they’ll support Israel, they’ll do all these things, but who cares?’ This is a probably part of Netanyahu’s deep Machiavellianism, but what it has done is brought together two groups of supremacists together and they’re on a mad war in Iran right now.”

De zionise the world – David Miller

Chris Williamson; “What do you think people could do in this country in terms of supporting Palestinian resistance? We hear about Palestine Action. What do you think Palestine resistance in this country should look like?”

David Miller; “Well, Palestine Action is a good model. We’ve had them on this programme before and discussed that issue. It’s a good model. More people, if they can get involved in that kind of thing and there are many things you can do to support it in addition to the kind of direct action that’s fantastic. It could be a bigger demonstration. People should go along in a few days time on a Sunday I think, so there’s an important sense there. But I think also I think this applies not just in the UK in this country, but in other Western countries too. We should be looking to find ways to end the zionist movement in this country as well as to stand in solidarity with with the struggle of the resistance in Palestine. And that means dismantling zionist organisations or encouraging them to become de-zionised, that is to revert to being Jewish organisations rather than pro-Israel organisations.”

No. They’re charged with genocide. They’re killing off Palestinians. Are we helping them survive? Well, they’ve got a higher standard of living than we do, a longer lifespan than we do. Free education, free housing, free health care. Did you know that in Israel every resident is insured under the National Health Insurance Law? We’re sending them money. Why? Ask yourself why a US congressman can wear an Israeli military uniform in congressional chambers? I would think that would be an act of treason. But they did. Nobody said anything. Ask why the Israeli Prime Minister can bypass the President, fly directly in and speak to our Congress without any other government interaction. Congress gave him 26 standing ovations. I think most pop stars would like 26 standing ovations. Our Congress gave Netanyahu, a Foreign Prime Minister, 26 standing ovations. I have difficulty looking at that in any other way than we’re occupied. Statistically speaking, we have shown that whoever spends the more money on an election wins 94% of the time. Whoever spent the most wins. We can also show that every time somebody spoke out against Israel or AIPAC, the next election, their challenger was highly funded and wins. And we shut down that conversation quickly. Right. Whenever we try to talk about it, you get told, well, that’s antisemitic. No, it’s not, calling things the way they are is not antisemitic”.

David Miller; “I think there’s a number of reasons. I’m surprised by some of the stuff we found out in the show today. I mean the sheer number and variety of links and infiltrations that the Israelis have carried out is really not very widely known. Now part of the reason for that is it’s not been reported. But another reason I think is that there’s an idea in the west, especially amongst the left, that if you talk about Israelis’ foreign policy objectives, somehow that you’re delving into antisemitism, not just because you’re talking about the Jews being active abroad, but because somehow really it’s only the Americans who are engaged in imperialist activities. What this shows, I think, is the need to start to think about the State of Israel as an imperialist power rather than a power which is underneath the power of US imperialism.”

Chris Williamson; ” Indeed. Well, I then asked Miko about whether he thought the recently exposed Team George election meddling was an aberration or whether there are likely to be other Israeli groups active in African elections”.

As a result of her refusal, she was suspended from her job and along with other members of her union, she went on strike. Their strike lasted for nearly three years and finally succeeded in driving the Irish government to implement a complete national ban on imported fruit and vegetables from South Africa. Theirs was the example I had in mind in 2021, when I made my own belated decision to join the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement and refused to work with Israeli organisations complicit in apartheid. Mary Manning and her colleagues, thank you. Mary Manning and her colleagues used their work to stand up against injustice, and I wanted, in my own very small way, to try to do the same. Together, we can and must identify the weak points in the machinery of genocide and apply all the pressure that we can through litigation, through industrial action, media work, consumer boycotts, direct action and more. I know that by speaking out, we may end up out of favour with the media and indeed, perhaps in trouble with the increasingly repressive architecture of authoritarian law. But I would like to ask my fellow writers and artists, if I may, not to dwell too exclusively on what we stand to lose. There is another, more important side to the story. To join in something greater than ourselves, to participate in some small way in a struggle for human liberation, to stand for what we know in our hearts is right and try not to be complicit in what we know is wrong. What else can make our lives endurable in times as dark as these? What else, in the face of such horror, can give us a reason to go on, to fend off despair, to live with ourselves and to fight for our future, no matter the consequences for those of us living at the heart of empire, those of us who have the extraordinary privilege of a public platform, it is not a question of paying a price. On the contrary, we should see and say that it is the honour of our lives to stand with Palestine. Thank you.”

Israel. Secret societies are directing Middle East wars to bring on the apocalypse

Watch; Professor Jiang Xueqin exposes secret societies engineering End Times wars

Vltrasociety, 13 March 2026,

‘Professor Jiang Xueqin, a Beijing-based educator and geopolitical analyst, claims interconnected secret societies including Freemasons, Jesuits, and Frankists are deliberately escalating Middle East conflicts to fulfill biblical end-times prophecies, collapse U.S. dominance, and establish a “Greater Israel” from the Nile to the Euphrates, followed by an AI-enforced Pax Judaica. These assertions draw on unverified conspiracy narratives, including references to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and lack substantiation from credible historical or geopolitical evidence. Greater Israel territorial claims stem from certain biblical interpretations but do not represent official Israeli policy or mainstream zionist goals.’

Professor Jiang Xueqin; “What I say is that the real power base are a collection of secret societies that have an eschatological view of this war. And these secret societies include the Freemasons, which are now called the Rosicrucians, and the Knights Templars. They include Jewish organisations called the Sabbatine Frankism who are embedded in religious movements called Chabad-Lubavitch. And then you have the Jesuits, you have a collection of secret societies. And they believe that a war in the Middle East would start a process that would culminate in the End Times and return of Jesus, the arrival of the Jewish Messiah, the building of a one world government. They have different eschatologies, but a lot of their time frames do align. So where they converge is that there has to be a war in the Middle East to kick things off. This war in the Middle east will lead to the defeat of the American Empire. And this will lead to the culmination of the Greater Israel Project, where Israel is able to control the Middle east from the Nile to the Euphrates. Once the Greater Israel Project is in place, it will transform into the Pax Judaica, which is an AI surveillance state. This will eventually lead to the War of Gog and Magog, the destruction of the Aijit Mosque and the building of the Third Temple, the return of the Jewish Diaspora to Jerusalem and the arrival of the Jewish Messiah or the Antichrist. So they have the script scripted out and unfortunately a lot of world events are conforming to this script.”

Jeffrey Sachs; “Israel is the most violent country per capita in the whole world, because it doesn’t declare any borders. Ask Netanyahu. “There’ll never be a Palestinian land, believe me, period. The borders will expand when we want, where we want, of course, between the Nile and the Euphrates, to fulfil Greater Israel’s hegemonic aspirations. And anyone that objects, we’re going to take out.” So Israel has, either overtly or covertly through Mossad, engaged in wars that stretch from Libya, Sudan, Somalia, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and now Iran. And Netanyahu also wrote a few days ago that the war on Iran “fulfils my 40-year dream”. This is very important for people to understand, because the claim was, well, Iran didn’t negotiate right last week, or it’s about this or it’s about that. No, this is a 40-year dream of Netanyahu. Now Israel has invaded Lebanon, it’s displacing these hours hundreds of thousands of people, it’s telling people in Beirut, you must leave in the next three hours. This is a crazy country, I’m sorry. They think that it’s as if they have a deed inscribed somewhere in heaven that they own all this land, that we stop at nothing to ensure global hegemony and Israeli regional hegemony that you develop and you say therefore I go to war with my neighbours.

Read; Psychology of Resilience: The Structural Roots of the “Resistance Environment” in Lebanon; Dr. Mohammad Aloush for Al-Akhbar Newspaper; vanessa beeley; Mar 26, 2026

The following was sent to Vanessa Beeley by Lebanese journalist Sondoss Al Assad. Sondoss contributed to my latest article on the West Bekaa town of Sohmor in Lebanon that you can read here or on her Substack.

The piece is written by Dr Mohammad Aloush:

“The “resistance environment” emerges in critical historical moments as a solid social bloc resistant to disintegration, raising questions for social psychologists that go beyond traditional material explanations. In the face of a destructive apparatus aimed at “brainwashing” and uprooting the community from its geographical and symbolic space, the resilience of this environment appears not as a fleeting emotional act but as a condition deeply embedded in collective consciousness.

This scenario calls for a rigorous epistemological approach that dissects the elements of this latent strength and probes the roots that make individuals in this environment a formidable barrier against even the harshest strategies of perception management and psychological intimidation. Key foundational questions arise: What factors shape the “readiness” for struggle in this environment? How does “collective identity” transform into a psychological shield protecting the individual from collapse? Why does material power fail to penetrate the “system of meaning” despite heavy fire? And is resilience here a matter of necessity or a form of “existential rationality”?

On 22 March, I travelled to Western Bekaa in Lebanon, around 50km from the border with Syria, to a small town called Sohmor. It is a Shia Muslim community that has been persecuted throughout history and which has developed a core resistance ideology that has never been destroyed, despite the atrocities it has witnessed and lived through.

The road to the town passes through some of the most beautiful countryside in Lebanon, with towering mountains topped with snow and shrouded in rain clouds, tree-lined roads passing through some of the most prestigious vineyards in the region, and rocky precipices where goats navigate with ease and rain-laden skies stretch for miles into the horizon.

Another section of the journey brought us to Qaraoun Lake, an artificial body of water in the Bekaa Valley, created in 1959 by the construction of a 61 metre-high rockfill dam, the largest in Lebanon, in the middle reaches of the Litani River now being targeted for occupation by the Zionist regime. The reservoir generates hydropower for domestic water supply and for irrigation of agricultural lands and vineyards. The lake is surrounded by woodland and fruit orchards, and is a haven for migratory birds such as storks and pelicans.

Sondoss Al Assad, a Lebanese journalist who comes from Sohmor, also told me:

Sohmor is considered one of the ancient towns that holds within its land and on its hillsides the remains and civilisations of great antiquity stretching back thousands of years. Its distinguished geographical location on the edge of the Litani River made it a destination for ancient humans for settlement and agriculture, which led to the richness of the area in archaeological finds.

Here are the most notable antiquities and ancient discoveries in Sohmor:

1. Caves and Rock-Carved Houses

Residential caves and burial sites: In the hills and mountains of Sohmor, there are groups of caves precisely carved into limestone, which were used by ancient people for housing or as burial sites.

Roman tombs: Recent discoveries (especially in 2019) indicate the presence of collective and individual tombs carved into rock, estimated to date back around 5,000 years (the Bronze Age) up to the Roman and Byzantine periods. These tombs often contain stone sarcophagi.

Grape and olive presses: Rock-carved presses are spread throughout the town, indicating intensive agricultural activity (vine and olive cultivation) in ancient times.

Other artefacts associated with Sohmor are pottery jars, oil lamps, and plates dating back to Canaanite, Phoenician and Roman eras. Bronze and copper mirrors, pins, and household tools have been found that were buried with the dead in ancient tombs in the area. Locals have found coins dating back to Roman, Byzantine, and early Islamic periods, demonstrating that the region was an important trade hub. Large building stones have been uncovered that indicate the presence of ancient temples or fortresses in the Sohmor environs.

The Road into Sohmor

My fixer/driver and I first entered the town of Mashghara just as the rain began to fall in earnest. Locals told us to avoid one of the roads into Sohmor because of the risk of drone strikes, and directed us towards another, apparently less dangerous, route. It is worth noting that, often in these heavily surveilled regions, GPS is lost, leaving the driver reliant on locals for information. Add to this that many of these areas have now been evacuated, which makes it difficult at times to find someone to help. Mashghara also came under Zionist attack recently, with an airstrike targeting a house on the side of the mountain that looked like a farm storage area.

Low cloud and heavy rain reduces the efficacy of the Zionist drones that are always circling in the skies above these towns and villages, so it was a welcome weather change from the sunshine that had followed us on the roads leading to Sohmor.

In November 2024, just before the ‘ceasefire’ during the support war for the Resistance in Gaza, a Zionist war jet targeted Sohmor, killing one and injuring four others. On the same night, an airstrike on Mashghara had killed three and injured two others.

On 18 March, one week ago, zionist warplanes targeted five homes in Sohmor with missile strikes, killing six civilians. On 15 January, before the recent escalation and during the alleged ceasefire that Israel has violated more than 6,000 times, Zionist war jets had previously targeted Sohmor again. Israel targeted two residential buildings, one three storeys high that was reduced to a familiar cratered footprint. The second building was in the centre of the town, near the public school. As Sondoss Al Assad told me:

Please donate

Forgive me for pointing out that, while we receive some one-off donations, I am funding Farms Not Factories myself, and if we are to continue to fight the cruel, antibiotic-led factory farm system, we will need some regular donations from like-minded people. Please consider a monthly subscription of £2/month and help us support a network of smaller scale, humane and healthy UK pig farms, local abattoirs and butchers.

“Our message is simple, we want to help bring an end to this dangerous, inhumane system. Vote for real farming over factory farming.”
– Tracy Worcester, Director
