Stop Lime Down
On Sunday 8th June, hundreds of locals walked along a section of the Roman Fossway in Wiltshire to support the campaign; Stop Lime Down Solar project that threatens to cover 2,200 acres of neighbouring farmland with black shining panels. As tall as double-decker buses, (4.5m), they will industrialise the beautiful countryside, undermine local tourist businesses, disrupt ecosystems, and destroy the land that feeds us. Money from the local economy will go into the hands of 8 landowners and the CEOs of Island Green Power and their funders, Macquarie, the disgraced Australian multinational investment banking and financial services group that left Thames Water with an extra £7.4 billion debt burden of which £2.8 billion went to shareholders.
This fight goes beyond Wiltshire. Across the UK, rural communities are being asked to sacrifice their land for energy projects. We’re already a nation that is not self-sufficient in food, and losing more agricultural land will only make our food security more fragile.
This community needs your support. Island Green Power is set to submit their proposals on 18th September. The Planning Inspectorate (PINS) will then have 28 days to either approve or reject the plans. After this, we will have 30 days (from 18th October to 18th November 2025) to submit written representations.
This is when we need to act with thousands of voices to influence the decision.
We encourage you to register with Stop Lime Down for updates on how to take action. Alternatively, you can join their 1000 Club to donate and support the cause. Stop Lime Down will provide guidance on how to submit your objection and make your voice heard.
Food & Farming / CO2 Tunnel Vision / Geoengineering
On Sunday 22nd June, the Forbidden Fruit and Veg market garden team hosted our annual Summer Harvest Festival party. After a guided tour of the walled garden, the 120 local guests, that included many farmers and growers, heard talks from four speakers,
Roger Meacock [00:00], a local vet,
Mark Byford [06:26], aka the Bowler Hat Farmer,
Adrian Steele [11:57], Soil Association,
Nick Wier [20:16], Open Food Hub.
The speakers explained why and how we need to protect our precious farmers by re localising the food economy. Watch the speakers and follow up questions from inquisitive farmers.
The fact that farming is on its knees thanks to our globalist authorities, supermarkets and banks, is now so obvious that people are waking up to the need to re-connect producers with consumers in each local community or face losing their farmers to provide food on our once bountiful Island.
In our locality, we have a strong community so we could easily support our precious farmers by shunning the supermarkets and buying directly from them.
Supermarket food is only cheaper than real food due to hidden and direct subsidies. The corporate plan is to patent and thereby own the next generation of junk food that will be grown by scientists, not farmers, and consist of insects, lab-grown meat and GM fruit and veg seeds grown in vertical farms in peat bags with drip-feeder of water and fertiliser, picked by robots, to yield a vegan goo that can be 3D printed. For proof read the intro of Sainsbury’s Future of Food!
Inspired by the talks, a few farmers want to start growing veg and sell their meat in the locality. Thereby they will join a local farmer who is selling his beef at his new cafe and another planning milk deliveries. We could have a local fruit, veg, milk, meat and eggs hub that could handle small or large quantities to provide local schools or veg boxes, shops, cafes and kiosks.
I am traveling in July so the next newsletter will be in August when I hope I can report on a local food hub in the making.
All the best

Thatcher/Starmer-style neo-liberal economies lead to food being sourced from global trade networks and not from UK farmers, resulting in farm bankruptcies with the farmland being sold to equity investors, supermarkets, billionaire tax dodgers and property developers who put profit above providing food for our Island.
Watch; Beware of any Government worldwide that doesn’t protect its farming families Gareth Wyn Jones, 12 June 2025
“Beware of any government that doesn’t protect its farmers and the farming families because it will end up in food problems, food inflation and food shortages. So believe me or believe me not, we are at a turning point. I don’t think it’s just in this country, I think it’s globally where family farms are being oppressed, being squashed, are being taken over by multinational corporations for solar, for wind, for forestry and for their own self belief into offsetting their carbon they can still produce while they grow a few trees here, there and everywhere. The people that will suffer will be the poorer people in society, the people that are struggling to pay their bills, pay for their food and to keep their families healthy. We need a farming food revolution. We need to start to look at this as a global agenda against the farming populations of the world. Make your own choices, make your own decisions. We need to stand up with the farming communities worldwide to make a difference and ask your governments why are you doing this to the people that are feeding you? It makes no sense.”
With corporations demanding that their patented frankenstein food will be our food ‘security’, the government is killing family farms with a thousand cuts.

‘A group of farmers and business owners are seeking a judicial review of the government’s contentious inheritance tax raid, arguing there should have been a public consultation before the policy was confirmed.
The claim, which was served to the Chancellor and HMRC on Tuesday, does not seek any concrete changes to the overhaul but alleges the government failed to comply with its obligations to consult on significant shifts in tax policy.’
Supermarkets are not in the business of providing healthy food – they may do PR stunts but the reality is providing the very cheapest food from across the globe.
Listen; Imported beef in supermarkets; BBC Farming Today, 26 June 2025
Presenter; “Many UK supermarkets have made public commitments to sourcing 100% of their beef from the UK, but in recent months some seem to be moving away from these pledges. Last month Asda was selling Uruguayan beef for a limited period and two weeks ago Morrisons ran a trial selling Australian beef. Sainsbury’s has had Wagyu beef from New Zealand on its shelves as well. The National Farmers Union said reneging on sourcing commitments erodes trust and damages farmer confidence.”
Supermarkets have all the power so have zero respect for their farmers; ‘”If the GCA (The Groceries Code Adjudicator) cannot investigate and robustly intervene to protect suppliers, producers and consumers when it is clear that the pricing structure of a supermarket is putting the short-term interests of shareholders above the wider public interest…what’s the point of the GCA?h asks MP Rebecca Long Bailey’.
Read; Impotent umpire” – is the GCA unfit for purpose? Wicked Leeks; 19th June 2025
The Groceries Code Adjudicator has an important role to play in regulating the conduct of retailers – but is it falling short?
You would think that with all that’s going on from farmwashing to unfairness in supply chains that the grocery sector in Britain is wholly unregulated. But there is a regulator – the Groceries Code Adjudicator or GCA for short. The code aims to ensure that the 14 largest grocery retailers from Tesco to Lidl, Aldi to Amazon, treat the thousands of suppliers they deal with fairly.
It won’t come as a surprise to anyone that within the food and farming sector there’s a rapidly growing concern that the GCA is not fit for purpose. A recent parliamentary debate highlighted that suppliers are afraid to report unfairness, fearing they’ll be punished by supermarkets or delisted (i.e. have their contracts cancelled). All the risk, said one speaker, is “sitting on the shoulders of producers and growers.” Another debate said “more needs to be done to improve confidence in the system” and producers were regularly “bullied” by the supermarkets.
“It’s remit is too narrow. It’s time for a new groceries code regulatory authority, with powers to introduce price floors and ceilings, ensuring fair prices for suppliers and consumers,” said MP, Rachel Gilmour, in the latest deliberation in Westminster this June.
And while the machinations of grocery regulators rarely make the headlines or capture public interest, the human stories of pricing pressure in the food supply chain and the disastrous impact it’s having on British farming does matter (a lot) to the British public – 77% believe supporting British farmers is important.
The problem is that many farmers who’ve been treated poorly by the supermarkets remain tight lipped – so putting the onus on them to report issues to the GCA is unrealistic when most British farmers have few viable alternative routes to market other than through 12 retail giants, which account for 95% of all food consumed in the UK. The only realistic option to action change must be to drill down on supermarket regulation.
Producers going under
When supply chains have persistent power imbalances and where producers are forced to accept the (often loss-making) prices set by the retailers, or go out of business altogether, a lot needs to change. The BBC’s Tom Heap described the GCA as an “impotent umpire” with “a prevailing culture of fear between supermarkets and their suppliers”. Others have said that the GCA is essential, it’s just not doing enough.
Lawyers for Aldi and the regulator have been battling over whether the GCA should be able intervene in a landmark High Court hearing over the retail giant’s delisting of a producer – where the last remaining brassica farm in Yorkshire was forced to cease trading when the retailer terminated their contract, even though the crop of sprouts had already been planted out.
“If the GCA cannot investigate and robustly intervene to protect suppliers, producers and consumers when it is clear that the pricing structure of a supermarket is putting the short-term interests of shareholders above the wider public interest…what’s the point of the GCA?” asks MP Rebecca Long Bailey.
After four months of dispute, the High Court judge has now just permitted the GCA to submit evidence. This landmark ruling will set a precedent for future legal cases brought by farmers against supermarkets, states SUSTAIN.
Read; The politics of food; WickedLeeks Meets Dolly van Tulleken by Nick Easen, 25 June 2025
‘In many countries food is not only political, it’s politicised, from Italy to France and Japan. In the UK it’s relegated to the free market. Blame the Industrial Revolution or fears of the nanny state telling us what we should eat. Yet such a laissez faire approach to food has made us one of the sickest, fattest countries in Europe, and unenviably one of the nations with the most ultra-processed diet.
“We should all be shocked,” says Dolly van Tulleken. Dolly should know, she’s a visiting researcher at the epidemiology unit at the University of Cambridge and was once a Conservative Party candidate in the 2017 general election. Her brother-in-law, Chris van Tulleken, is the author of the best-selling book Ultra-Processed People – so she is deeply embedded in the world of food, health, and politics.
“I used to focus on obesity as the problem. Now I realise it’s a symptom of our creaking food system, which was designed after the Second World War to deliver abundant, cheap calories. This is no longer fit for purpose. Right now, we’re all suffering the consequences of a broken system that doesn’t deliver nourishing, healthy, sustainable food as the most affordable and easiest option,” says Dolly.
“It would be incredible for people passionate about food to get political and use their citizen power to contact their local MP and demonstrate their public interest. Food as an issue should have election winning potential. But very few people, if any, go into politics because they’re excited about changing our food system. But when you start linking it to other issues such as health, community, education or tradition then politicians become a lot more interested.”
Dolly has unique insight into this issue having done a deep dive into the politics of food and health in the UK. Last year, with Henry Dimbleby, she interviewed 20 prime ministers, health secretaries and senior politicians, of national food strategy fame, producing Nourishing Britain: A Political Manual for Improving the Nation’s Health. This provides some great insight into the levers of power. “Politicians are so allergic to being perceived as middle class elites telling people what to do and how to live their lives… that sense of nanny statism. The same is true with public health at large. This kind of political debate was absolutely rife when it came to dealing with smoking or the sugar tax on soft drinks,” details van Tulleken.
“Then you have the issue of commercial influence – big time. It’s not just lobbying. You’ve got entire government departments who are literally there to serve the interests of industries, such as the big supermarkets or the advertising sector. You therefore have mechanisms in-built within the UK government to block any interventions that would be seen to be hampering those industries.”
It was only recently that the UK government was exposed for dropping a health push on fruit and veg, as well as other natural foods, after lobbying by global food firms pedalling ultra-processed products.

The majority of children will be overweight or obese in nine areas of England by 2035, according to “deeply concerning” projections showing child obesity rates are set to worsen across 90% of the country.
More than a third of primary school children (36%) are already overweight or obese, figures from the government’s national child measurement programme show.
Our broken farming system is no accident.
Watch; 15 minute or SMART cities = concentration camps; Rick Armstrong, 3 June 2025
“Humans that once lived on farms and in rural areas, so-called wildlands, will be relocated to cities now referred to as human settlements. And the idea is that if you concentrate populations into specific areas or zones, less energy usage, less water usage and less transportation. So people will have less reason to leave home. They’ll stay in their homes. They may even work out of their homes. And so they’re not going to be using their cars, they’re not going to be using energy and they’re not going to be using water. Since, as we saw earlier, the UN is not big on property rights, it should come as no surprise that the first private property to be phased out will be single family homes, what socialists at UN headquarters consider suburban sprawl. Instead, we the people will live in apartments and condos in mega cities near railroad tracks. Our super tall dwelling units will all be built to UN-specified building codes authorised by the ADA, and a myriad of NGOs and other friends of sustainable development. While the animals run wild in continental corridors, we the humans will live in transit villages and smart cities. Smart growth or a new urbanism is that ideology that says that you shouldn’t have more space than you actually need. So if you’re a couple of people living in a three-bedroom house, well, you don’t need that extra space, so why do you have it? There’s a clear concerted effort to make it really just about as miserable as possible to exist and use your own private transportation on your own home. All impetus and incentive, financial and otherwise, is to convince people that it is unsustainable to live in your own home having air conditioning. It is their duty as a human being, as a global citizen, you basically exist and little more. Our high rise stack and pack dwelling units, complete with smart metres and smart heating systems will make sure no one uses too much energy and if they do the energy police, with help from the neighbours and eye on the street surveillance systems will be right there to handle the situation. If they can put 1,000 people in one building, it’s a whole lot easier to know what they’re doing, where they’re going and how they’re thinking than it is. You got 1,000 people living in a rural or suburban area. And so the stack and pack is multi- storey buildings, multiple families living in the same spot, walking in and out of the same door, always being able to be managed. Smart metres play a big role in that management so they can measure everything that you do in your life when you’re using smart appliances. If you have a garden or a single family residence, while you’re watering your garden, you might have more than one bathroom, you’re taking too many showers, you’re using more than your 10 gallons of water a day and this is unsustainable, so you need to be removed from your single family residence. Anybody that’s got a couple of acres of land and his own water supply and can grow his own food, these people are a threat to the collectivist society because they aren’t going to go to the politicians and say please feed me, please clothe me, please give me shelter. That’s the secret behind Agenda 21. They want people out of the countryside. They want corporations out there growing all the food and that kind of thing, but they don’t want anybody living out there.
To describe human settlements and the food sheds that sustain them as modern day concentration camps might be a little over the top because with no cars, parking lots or air travel, everyone will walk and use bikes, so they will be fit and healthy, at least as healthy as the genetically-modified foods they are forced to eat, will allow.”
Now that our government has adopted its ‘growth economy’ designed by the UN, the WEF and global agri-tech corporations, they need only to persuade us that food produced by agri-tech and precision breeding (aka GMO seeds) is healthy. Unless we use the power of our purse to resist this transhuman world, there will be no family farmers or growers to grow food in the soil.
Read; Agriculture included in government’s industrial strategy; June 24, 2025
‘Having agri-tech and precision breeding technology as areas of focus within the growth sector plan means there should be greater opportunities for farmers and growers to contribute to the government’s growth agenda, increasing their ability to create jobs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, boost productivity and drive investment in sustainable food, fibre and energy production.’
‘The strategy, expected today alongside the NATO summit, will explain how the government intends to keep the UK safe at a time of rising global instability. The NFU says that and food should be included in it. NFU President Tom Bradshaw said, “We are facing into an increasingly volatile world. The World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report forecasts heightened global instability over the next decade, with conflict and economic shocks on the rise and extreme weather becoming the norm. It’s therefore vital that the resilience of our food system is considered a strategic priority. The nation was reminded all too recently of the consequences of fragile food supply chains, with supermarket shelves bare and fresh produce rationed because of high production costs here and bad harvests abroad.’
In the same Farming Today episode we hear about both the impact of trade agreements on UK farmers and the loss of farm subsidies. It does not mention that the two are related. Farmers need subsidies because of unfair competition from cheap imports flooding in due to our globalist politicians signing trade deals with countries that have lower currency values, cheaper labour and/or lower chemical and animal welfare standards that UK farmers have to abide by. UK farmers are being eliminated by anti-farming government policies that use UK land for solar panels, wildlife and housing, not least for immigrants who are welcomed due to the fact that they are more exploitable than UK citizens. Why would they want to come here? Transnational companies want vast monocultures for export – any counter policies face a coup. Who can blame their young enterprising citizens for following the money? They join us in eating low standard imported food. The end of UK farming and healthy food is set in stone unless we support UK farmers by buying directly from them via farm gate shops, online food hubs or box schemes.
Listen; Gulf States trade deal, subsidy phase out; BBC Farming Today, 18 June 2025
Presenter; “More details have emerged about the future of farm payments in England after last week’s spending review. Since Brexit, the annual payments farmers received from the government have been in transition. Under the old EU rules, farmers received payments based on the amount of land they had, but that system is being phased out and will end by 2028. Farmers always knew their payments would be reduced, but not how quickly that would happen. They now know that next year the most anyone will get will be £600. Our producer Heather Simons has been looking into it. So Heather, what’s the context of this announcement?”
Heather Simons; “Farmers in England have known since 2020 that their area-based payments would be phased out over time and would be gone entirely by 2028. People with more land who got more money would see their payments decrease faster than those who received less in the first place. The idea was to reduce the amount spent on these old payments so that the money could instead be spent on the new system of environmental payments being introduced in England post Brexit. That’s the Environmental Land Management Scheme, or as regular listeners will know them, ELMS.”
Richard Hedy, Farmer; “You know, when you talk of phasing something out, you think you can ease something away, you don’t just remove over 90% of it straight away. So it’s staggering. The amount of money has gone from something we can plan around and help us run a business to an amount that it’s useful, we can use it, but you can’t really make any business decisions around it.”
Presenter; “The CLA, the Country Land and Business Association, has called this expected but nonetheless unwelcome and points out that this comes at a time of uncertainty for farmers because the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI), that’s part of the new environmental payment system, remains closed to new applications and we don’t yet know when the new scheme will open and what it will be like. Of course you could argue till the cows come home about whether it was right that farmers ever got area-based payments in the first place, but the fact is that they have done for decades.”
Farmer; “When you’re producing grain at about the cost of production, you’ve got to see a margin somewhere to take care of all the other costs that are concerned with the business. So it was just being absorbed by the business in the day-to-day running so that the farm could stay afloat. And without that, we’re trying to diversify other ways of keeping the farm going when years are rough, like grain prices this year, terrible, but it’s a struggle. I’m a farmer, I’m not someone who’s good at dealing with the public and opening up farm shops or running Airbnb’s or whatever. My passion is growing food and that’s where my skill base lies and that’s what I’d really like to continue doing.”
Presenter; “The NFU has confirmed it sent a private letter to the Prime Minister raising concerns over a prospective trade deal with the Gulf states. It said the deal could open up the UK to imports of low welfare meat from the Gulf and more importantly, many other countries around the world. Although meat from the Gulf states might come up to UK hygiene standards, some welfare groups are concerned about the conditions animals are kept in and the intensive nature of production, especially poultry. Tom Bradshaw is the NFU president.”
Tom Bradshaw; “We’re hearing very worrying rumours that poultry might be part of the deal with the GCC and we really can’t square that as standards of production is something we’re very proud of and their standards over there are pretty well non-existent in comparison to the standards we have to produce to.
We cannot undermine ourselves in any trade negotiation because everybody is watching on. And if anybody feels that our poultry sector is open to be targeted in future trade negotiations, not just the GCC, but we’ll have the US coming back to the table saying, well, look, you’ve done it for the Gulf, now we want a piece of that, we’ll have Brazil, and so we’ve got to be really careful at the signal this sends out to other countries around the world about whether our poultry sector is in scope or not.”
With the closure of SFI (Sustainable Farming Incentive) subsidy that made up for the loss in income from lower yields (due to farming in symbiosis with nature), farmers will be forced to intensify production. Without a subscription to The Times this is just an interesting headline.
Spending review: Cutting farming subsidies ‘will harm nature’; The Times. Will Humphries.
The Country Land and Business Association (CLA), which represents 28,000 farmers and rural businesses across England and Wales, found almost all farmers would have to return to intensive farming of livestock and cash crops to survive without government subsidies. In a poll of 460 farming members, 88 per cent said they would revert to intensive farming if funding was pulled for the SFI and CSHT schemes, while 95 per cent said they would reduce the amount of land managed for the environment.
Wisely the Scottish Government has refused to reduce livestock numbers to meet emissions targets. Their cattle numbers are already massively in decline, plus they are largely pasture fed so carbon neutral.
Intro; ‘The meat wholesalers’ body in Scotland says the Scottish government isn’t doing enough to combat meat imports which are putting the sector under pressure. As we reported last week, cattle numbers in Scotland have been declining for some time, but Rural Affairs Secretary, Mairi Gougeon, told us the government is supportive of farmers and has rejected advice from the Climate Change Committee to cut livestock numbers to help meet emissions targets. Alan Brown, the President of the Scottish Association of Meat Wholesalers, told me they’ve heard it all before.’
As a result of a race to the bottom in terms of price wars, economies of scale and distorting subsidies aka infrastructure and inputs come off tax, factory farming, which provides most of our meat sales, abuses animals, overuses antibiotics, pollutes the air, water and soil, and destroys rural communities.
Read; Feeding the Machine: Trade, Meat, and the Price We All Pay; Slow Food, 21st June 2025
‘At any given moment, a staggering around 74% of all land animals raised for food are confined in factory farms. This equates to billions of sentient beings living lives devoid of natural behaviors and fundamental freedoms. These systems are not built for compassion, but are meticulously designed for maximum efficiency and profit, pushing animals into extreme conditions that strip them of any natural life.’
Local campaigners finally won their battle to stop the local council giving planning permission for a new-build factory farm. Perhaps this will tighten the planning procedure so councils can refuse planning consent without a monumental battle that they inevitably lose when fighting a corporate backed animal factory.

‘…..this news hides the considerable costs of our insatiable appetite for poultry served up in greasy (and therefore hard-to-recycle) paper boxes, mixed in ingredients that are kept a secret. Namely: the imported soya (that comes with a huge environmental footprint); the fast-growing birds cooped up in small spaces; the pollution of land and rivers with vast amounts of poultry poo.
None of the coverage I saw mentioned any of this. Which reminded me of a piece in the Financial Times last year in which it was reported that Costco Wholesale was managing to sell (cooked) chickens at $5 (£3.90) (“Costco rules warehouse club roost with brisk sales of $5 chickens and other favourites”, the headline in June 2024 ran). And that’s brilliant news, the article concludes. “Costco’s point [ . . .] is to offer the lowest prices humanly possible”, one expert is quoted as saying.’

Animal charity The Humane League UK (THL UK) will shut down KFC drive-thrus across the country this summer, hitting KFC “where it hurts” after the company abandoned its commitment to improving animal welfare.
The restaurant reneged on its promise to stop using fast-growing breeds of chicken – dubbed Frankenchickens – by 2026. KFC continues to ignore calls for the company to publish a new timeline to end the use of these animals who have suffering coded into their DNA.
There has been months of dialogue between activists and the management, alongside the peaceful protests. Members of the public sent 16,000 emails to KFC voicing their anger at the company’s backtracking on the Better Chicken Commitment (BCC).
Mother pigs are not confined ‘temporarily’ as the article claims, but are trapped for up to five weeks at a time in steel cages so narrow they cannot turn around or lie down without contorting their limbs. They suffer lesions, extreme stress and bleeding gums from biting the bars in frustration. They cannot turn around to nurse their piglets. The system is inherently illegal as the law says pigs must have access to bedding at all times, yet farrowing crates have barren concrete slatted floors which are not compatible with bedding material which blocks the slats. Farmers who use this barbaric system are being allowed fifteen years to transition to the more humane open farrowing system, meaning pigs will suffer fifteen more years of cruelty on a scale that should never have been allowed in the first place – enough time for the industry to have weaned us all on to fake meat..
Read; Devon farm footage prompts calls to ban restrictive pens for pregnant pigs Guardian, 13 June 2025
‘The use of restrictive pens to temporarily house pregnant pigs in the UK severely compromises their welfare, can traumatise them and should be banned, experts have said. Analysis by Animal Equality UK of footage collected from a farm in Devon showed that three pregnant sows in farrowing crates spent more than 90% of their time lying down, with one not standing up at all for a day. On average, between them they bit the bars (a sign of extreme stress) more than once an hour. The farm is part of the Red Tractor scheme, used to mark food produced to a “high standard”, and supplies Tesco.
Animal Equality UK said it illustrated the wider problem with farrowing crates, in which more than 200,000 sows are confined each year in the UK.’ Abigail Penny, the executive director of Animal Equality UK, said: “Cages must be banned. Forcing intelligent mother pigs to eat, sleep and defecate in a highly cramped space is unimaginably cruel. Such extreme confinement takes a terrible toll on the animals, who – unable to escape – inevitably become hopeless and traumatised.”
The vast amount of money and time spent on fighting factory farms has made zero difference.

In the UK alone, there are now 1,824 industrial-scale pig and poultry farms, according to the data obtained by AGtivist that relates to 2023.
The countries with the largest number of intensive poultry farm units are France, UK, Germany, Italy and Poland in that order. For poultry farming alone, the UK ranks as having the second-highest number of intensive farms at 1,553, behind France with 2,342.
All animals thrive outdoors, not crammed into barren steel cages where they are tormented by boredom and stress, leading to diseases that require them to be routinely dosed with antibiotics, causing more and more diseases such as MRSA to become resistant to antibiotics and pass from pigs to humans.

Presenter; “Increasing financial strain and red tape is putting the future of small abattoirs at risk. That’s according to the owner of Downland Traditional Meats in West Sussex. The closure of abattoirs has been a long standing trend, something we’ve been reporting on since I first presented Farming Today in 1995. In the 1970’s the UK had two and a half thousand abattoirs, but that had dropped just 203 by 2023. Edward Parrott rears pedigree cattle amongst other animals on his farm near Ditchling. He sells the beef in his own farm shop to customers who want to buy local traceable meat.”
Edward Parrott; “We take the animals in Monday, they come back Tuesday and then we cut them up and then they’re ready to sell. This way of doing business relies heavily on having a small abattoir close by. My ethos here is local produce for local people and to have a short journey to an abattoir is good for the animal, animal welfare, the cost. If the small abattoir we use closes down, it’ll make our life very difficult.
Luke Smith, abattoir owner; “We have a fantastic local food network here, we have some fantastic Sussex beef, great land, great local free-range pork that’s available. We’re not utilising enough in the area because we don’t have the infrastructure to be able to process those animals and supply them to local chain network.”
Presenter; ” Luke says the cost of disposing of animal waste has risen sharply. Finding staff is difficult, regulation for small abattoirs is oppressive, and he can’t afford to invest in infrastructure when the abattoir is making a loss.
Luke Smith; “We are in a very, very challenging environment and I’m not sure that there’s a hugely positive spin on it at this moment in time. We’re one of very few abattoirs left in the southeast of England offering the full service which we’re offering, and we need support and help.”
More tech is being subsidised with our taxes to solve farm animal diseases caused by animals being bred and fed (protein) in production systems that exceed the animals natural growth rate making them inherently sick. Farm animals should be pasture fed and bred to be healthy so avoid the diseases in the first place.
Listen; New labs for animal disease BBC Farming Today, 24 June 2025
Presenter; “Work has officially begun to create a new National Biosecurity Centre. It’s being built on the existing Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) site, at Weybridge in Surrey. The whole project is costing between two and three billion pounds and is expected to take until 2033 to complete. The APHA was recently criticised by the National Audit Office, which said facilities there were not adequate to prevent or cope with contiguous national animal disease outbreaks such as foot and mouth and avian flu. However, the government says it is putting that right by the upgrade, which will ensure that the threat of animal diseases, which could be passed to humans, are prevented or dealt with efficiently.”
Toxic waste and water has been spread all over UK fields. When water and waste disposal is in private hands, money for shareholders and director’s bonuses is the driver, not the health of the ecosystem or consumers.
‘Toxic cocktail of chemicals’ being spread on UK farms; William Dodds;10-Jun-2025
Immediate action is needed to prevent ‘toxic’ sewage sludge from being spread on UK farmland, environment secretary Steve Reed has been told.
BBC’s Farming Today gives a week to promoteing agri-chemicals and GM seed. Multinational criminal, Syngenta, sells poisons in the name of ‘crop protection’ that contaminate food, destroy wildlife and lock farmers in a cycle of debt. Syngenta admits that their success is abroad, so I can only deduce that is because they are exporting their toxic chemicals that are banned in the UK.
Listen; Agri-tech innovation, BBC Farming Today, 7 June 2025
Presenter; “Now $300 million or £221 million and around a decade, that is the estimated cost and timeline for bringing a new agri-chemical product from idea to farm. All this week on Farming Today we’ve been looking at agricultural innovation and those two stats are a good indication of the challenges. We’ll hear more about that in a moment, but first let’s hear from one of the big companies in this field. Syngenta is an agri-chemical and seed multinational with around 53,000 employees in 100 countries. Its largest research and development centre is here in the UK. Doctor David Hughes, the company’s global head of technology, identification and evaluation for crop protection, told Charlotte Smith, innovation must be driven by what will add value on farm.”
Presenter; “How much, then, is it a concern as more farmers turn to regenerative farming, where they’re trying to use fewer chemicals?”
Hughes; “Well, I think the question always has to be what is the best way of producing this crop that achieves multiple different objectives at the same time. The profitability of the farm is a key objective.”
Presenter; ” I just want to talk a bit about when innovation looks like it’s going to be great but actually doesn’t work out. And the obvious example is neonics in this context where it looked like a great idea, something that was a seed treatment, it meant you didn’t have to spray chemicals around, but actually because of the impact it had on bees and other pollinators, they were banned. How much is that a concern as you’re coming up with bright ideas? Is failure in the back of your mind?”
Hughes; “Failure is intrinsic in the R&D process. Most of the things that we work on sadly fail, they never make it to market. So those of us in R&D get used to this. What we can do is learn the lessons of the past, understand what the parameters are in more detail than we did perhaps back then, and apply those parameters to our R&D processes to make sure we don’t make the same mistakes again.”
Sharon Todd from the Society of Chemical Industries; “The UK is a great place in which to innovate. We have great assets, amazing universities, SMEs, government supports R&D with funds, so it’s a great place to innovate, but it’s not a great place necessarily for that innovation to be turned into societal and economic benefit. We make all the investment, but the payback comes later and more often than not the payback comes elsewhere outside of the UK.
We need government intervention to ensure that the cycle of companies that start up this stay, and that might mean helping them in terms of support for scale up. And we also need to make the UK much more competitive for research intensive industries to be doing their research here and supporting development and commercialisation of products and manufacture of those products in the UK.”
Bayer has agreed to pay out $10.9 billion to settle 125,000 Roundup lawsuits, with thousands more in the pipeline.
Read; International study reveals glyphosate weed killers cause multiple types of cancer GM Watch, 10 June 2025
‘Leukemia findings are especially striking – potentially lending support to plaintiffs in court cases who allege that Roundup exposure caused their blood cancer A comprehensive carcinogenicity study on the world’s most used herbicide, glyphosate, involving scientists from Europe and the US, has found that low doses of the controversial weedkiller cause multiple types of cancer in rats. In this long-term study, published today, glyphosate alone and two commercial glyphosate-based formulations, Roundup BioFlow (MON 52276) used in the EU and Ranger Pro (EPA 524-517) used in the US, were administered to rats via drinking water beginning in prenatal life, at doses of 0.5, 5, and 50 mg/kg body weight/day for 2 years. These doses are currently considered safe by regulatory agencies and correspond to the EU Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) and the EU’s No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for glyphosate. Glyphosate is used on over 80% of GM crops.
In all three treatment groups of the study, increased incidences of benign and malignant tumours at multiple anatomic sites were observed compared to controls. These tumours arose in haemolymphoreticular tissues (leukemia), skin, liver, thyroid, nervous system, ovary, mammary gland, adrenal glands, kidney, urinary bladder, bone, endocrine pancreas, uterus and spleen (hemangiosarcoma). Increased incidences occurred in both sexes. Most of these involved tumours that are rare in Sprague Dawley rats (background incidence < 1%), with 40% of leukemias deaths in the treated groups occurring in early life. Increased early deaths were also observed for other solid tumours. The leukemia findings are especially strong and may provide important support for plaintiffs in court cases who allege that exposure to Roundup caused their Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, another type of blood cancer.
Ruthless corporations unashamedly pressure politicians to shield them from liability.
Read; Bayer’s sneak attack: the company’s 5-pronged effort to avoid pesticide liability, after making a bad bet to take on Monsanto’s culpability for injuries; Meryl Nass, 1 July 2025
‘That 1986 liability shield got us cheap, safe vaccines, right? What could go wrong if a similar law applied to all pesticides? Consider calling your elected officials!!!’
‘Bayer, a part of I.G. Farben’s conglomerate, and after WW2 a spin-off of I.G. Farben (which used slave labor and even ran its own concentration camp during WW2 to assist Hitler’s war machine) has long known that getting help from government can make you extremely rich. Look what Bayer admits to on its own website: 25,000 deaths, and slaves that died after an average of only 4 months of being worked to death.
In 2018, Bayer acquired Monsanto, despite Monsanto starting to lose legal cases in which Roundup was alleged to have caused cancer. It must have looked like a clever deal to them, with the litigation reducing Mosanto’s price. But Bayer did not foresee that the Roundup litigation could get out of hand.
Gene therapy! This is a company that likes taking risks. But it also has deep experience in using governments for its own ends.
Here are the 5 ways Bayer is fighting back against Roundup lawsuits, which have already cost $Billions. The global glyphosate market in 2023 is estimated at $8.7 Billion. There may even be more than 5 ways. Bayer claims it has spent $10 Billion on claims and litigation expenses already, and so it has put a lot of money aside to fight additional losses. Just imagine what $billions can buy in lobbying.
Bayer’s CEO warned in April that the company might stop producing Roundup—this sounds like an attempt to get farmers who use the stuff to do unpaid lobbying to retain it on the market. Get the Senators from Soybean land riled up.
Bayer fights as hard as possible against every loss in court, even appealing to the Supreme Court to find against lower courts that have given awards to plaintiffs who alleged injuries due to glyphosate, especially Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma patients.
The Associated Press’ David A. Lieb reported at the beginning of April that “global agrochemical manufacturer Bayer has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to decide whether federal law preempts thousands of state lawsuits alleging it failed to warn people that its popular weedkiller could cause cancer.”
“Bayer’s new request to the nation’s highest court comes as it is simultaneously pursing legislation in several states seeking to erect a legal shield against lawsuits targeting Roundup, a commonly used weedkiller for both farms and homes,” Lieb reported. “Bayer disputes the cancer claims but has set aside $16 billion to settle cases and asserted Monday that the future of American agriculture is at stake.”
“In a court filing Friday, Bayer urged the Supreme Court to take up a Missouri case that awarded $1.25 million to a man who developed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after spraying Roundup on a community garden in St. Louis,” Lieb reported. “The federally approved label for Roundup includes no warning of cancer. Bayer contends federal pesticide laws preempt states from adopting additional labeling for products and thus prohibits failure-to-warn lawsuits brought under state laws.”
“The Supreme Court in 2022 declined to hear a similar claim from Bayer in a California case that awarded more than $86 million to a married couple,” Lieb reported. “But Germany-based Bayer, which acquired Roundup maker Monsanto in 2018, contends the Supreme Court should intervene now because lower courts have issued conflicting rulings.”
The Supreme Court has just asked the DOJ to provide information to help it determine whether to hear Bayer’s appeal.
Bayer has had its lackeys in state legislatures introduce legislation that provides a liability shield for pesticides in general. This has already passed in Georgia, has been defeated in several states, and moves forward in several other states.
Bayer has had its surrogates in Congress try to add a pesticide liability shield to existing bills—there has been discussion about sneaking it in to various bills, and by doing so other members of Congress might only have 24 hours before a committee vote on such an amendment.
The Bayer CEO said the company would be working to develop 5 new pesticides—presumably by the times we have learned how they harm us, it will move on to the next pesticide. How utterly ruthless.’
Politicians are lobbied not to support farmers to adopt a healthy food system but to ensure their paymasters in the agri industry sell their GM crops and toxic pesticides/herbicides to farmers.
Read; Defra does not ‘intend to subsidise regenerative agriculture’; Agriland, 21 June 2025
‘A new UK parliamentary report has highlighted regenerative agriculture as a promising, farmer-led approach to improving soil health, biodiversity, and water quality.
However, despite increasing interest in this area, the UK government currently offers no designated public funding to support farmers in transitioning to regenerative methods.
The report states that Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) “does not currently intend to subsidise regenerative agriculture”, with the department claiming insufficient UK-specific evidence that it delivers public goods.’
However, I read today that there is a subsidy that the wildlife charities are welcoming.
New vision to get farming transition back on track; 30 June 2025
‘Today, The Wildlife Trusts launch a vision for the future of food and farming – Food & Farming in a Nature & Climate Crisis – stressing that the time is now to get the farming transition back on track.
Following the Government’s recent move to protect England’s nature-friendly farming budget in the Comprehensive Spending Review, The Wildlife Trusts argue that nature-friendly farming must move centre-stage as one of the most cost effective and efficient ways to reach nature recovery and climate targets across vast swathes of the country.
Nature-friendly farming benefits not just wildlife and farm businesses, but also works to reduce flooding risk, tackle climate change, clean up waterways and increase food security. The Wildlife Trusts maintain that the entire food system – including politicians, supermarkets, food producers and farmers – must think long term about their support for a nature-positive and climate-resilient farming sector.
The Food and Farming in a Nature and Climate Crises vision shows how to get the farming transition back on track; huge efforts are already underway led by farmers, producers and suppliers to harness the power of nature-friendly farming.
The Wildlife Trusts say that action to address the nature and climate crisis across the farmed landscape must include:
Facilitating support structures, guidance, and independent advice for farmers to transition to regenerative & agroecological farm systems
Utilising both public and private finance, and technology and innovation, to supercharge nature-friendly farming practices and nature-based solutions
Policies to reform food supply chains, ensuring they reward farmers fairly for the food they produce in harmony with nature
Vicki Hird, strategic lead for agriculture at The Wildlife Trusts, says:
“Whilst the spending review fell short of the ambition required to scale up nature-friendly farming, it’s more vital than ever to channel support into environmental delivery across the farmed landscape.
“Farmers must not be left high and dry on their transition to more sustainable farming practices, when mechanisms to drive this important change exist across the supply chain, government policy and technology.
That’s why we’ve launched our Food & Farming in a Nature & Climate Crisis vision – it sets out a blueprint for delivering healthy diets, nature recovery and climate-resilient farm and food businesses long into the future.
“All eyes will now be on DEFRA to set a clear long-term vision in their developing 25-year “Farming Roadmap” and ensure that public money is used the most effectively, including the deployment of funds to agri-environment schemes.”
The Wildlife Trusts argue that transformation of the food and farming system is more vital than ever as farmers are continuing to face a huge degree of uncertainty, battling the ever-increasing impacts of a changing climate and volatile markets.
Read the Food and Farming in a Nature and Climate Crises vision. Its launch comes as The Wildlife Trusts host the new ‘Farming with Nature’ stage at Groundswell regenerative agriculture festival on 2nd & 3rd July.
Regenerative agriculture is all things to all people as it has no rules or standards, so farmers using glyphosate can claim this description. If the rhetoric of regen really means to care for the soil and nature, and thereby produce high quality food, why not farm to organic standards? Have the glyphosate sales teams managed to green wash their toxic chemical by weakening the organic movement with a big PR push for the more fashionable word ‘regenerative’ farming?
Listen; Regenerative Agriculture, BBC Farming Today, 30 June 2025
Intro; ‘All week, we’re talking about regenerative agriculture. It’s a way of farming which aims to restore and protect soils. Regen methods include farming without ploughing, using cover crops so fields are never left bare, growing a range of crops, and using animals to fertilise the ground. But there is no one definition of “regenerative”. Professor Andy Neal, a soil microbiologist at Rothamsted Research, explains why he thinks that’s a good thing.’
BBC Presenter; What critics of regenerative agriculture always bring up is the use of glyphosate because you can’t plough, you have to kill the crop somehow and people use glyphosate. Is that trade off worth it?
Rothamsted Research; “I think it is worth it when you consider glyphosate within the context of what happens if you don’t use it. Of the very beneficial structure. So taken in the round and in the appropriate context, glyphosate has a role. But, of course, understanding how we use it as part of a tool within a complex system, and that’s what really regenerative.”
Regenerative agriculture should be a transition stage towards organic, not a system that can be labeled as a good standard; ‘For the regenerative farming movement, agriculture is not about “imposing 0% of anything,” but about providing a transition path for conventional farmers to adopt better practices.’
New green farm lobby digs into Brussels, setting up turf war with organics; 13 June 2025
‘Across the Atlantic, accusations of greenwashing are mounting. Friends of the Earth US analysed data from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and found that most so-called ‘regen’ no-till farms also rely on synthetic pesticides, fertilisers and GMOs.
“No-till typically increases herbicide use in conventional farming systems since farmers aren’t using tillage to manage weeds,” Dr Kendra Klein, the scientist behind the report, told Euractiv. She argues that organic farmers “are the original regenerative farmers” with the added benefit of being “enforced through a rigorous legal standard.”
She also notes that major agribusinesses such as Tyson Foods, ADM, Cargill, and Bayer are now promoting – or funding – no-till under the regenerative banner.
In EARA’s report, food giant Unilever is listed as a “private sector pioneer,” but Sapp said the company is not providing funding and is merely seeking to learn from regenerative farmers.
Back in Brussels, Gall criticised regenerative actors in Europe for not calling out greenwashing in regen when they could have done so. “So far they haven’t,” said Gall. “And we do see a risk of diverging policy action away from organic.”
On Dyson’s 34,000 acres of the UK, he’s inventing and no doubt will soon be selling tech. He can use his fortune from making hoovers and hand driers, but that doesn’t mean he can produce healthy food. His tech dream is replacing farmers with scientists, farm workers with machines, healthy soil with chemicals and covering the land in machines, concrete and metal buildings. He can take the cost of farm tech off his tax bill but will high input farming go belly up financially, the same way as vertical farms? Only buy food that has been grown in the soil by real farmers.
Watch; James Dyson reveals the future of farming; James Dyson; 24 June2025
James Dyson; ‘We need to produce food in England. We need to produce really good food. So we asked a group of engineers at Dyson what they could do to improve some of the activities on the farm. And one of the things we came up with was a vertical growing system.
I think this is the biggest rig Dyson’s ever made. 24 meters long, five and a half meters tall. Each wheel’s 500 kilograms.
We did the whole thing ourselves. Every bit of wiring, every nut, bolt, fastener. Spent a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into this rig for the last two years. It’s like having a child. Every single bolt I’ve got a relationship with.
We import all our strawberries in England except in the height of the summer season. So what I’ve done is to build two huge greenhouses, and from that, we can produce the tastiest strawberries, as you can imagine, all year round.
What we’re working on here with the the Dyson engineers is the whole different growing system to get much, much higher density fruit in a covered environment. This is stacking strawberries up across these multiple levels. The challenge you then get is light levels and shadowing and making sure that the leaf in the leaf canopy gets enough sunlight to really develop. By using this system, we’re able to move the plants around and make sure every plant gets the maximum natural energy from the sun so we can use as little energy as possible supplementing that with the LED lights.
Growing things is like making things. I’m a manufacturer. And so I suppose anyway, I’ve approached farming from that point of view. Know, how can we make it more efficient? What technology can we bring in that will improve the quality, the taste of the food, use the land better so that we can invest further and make a difference to farming?
So this is one of our Dyson owned sensor packs. We’ve got a very high accuracy c o two sensor, relative humidity and temperature. And then on the top there, this is the apogee power sensor. So that detects only the wavelengths that the strawberry plant is interested in, and and then we know how much we need to top up with our artificial light. We’ve got this supply system which comes up to the central manifold, which splits out, and then each five goes to two, and we go through into the gutter. And then once the water flows through, that goes into the train here, which captures the water, and this black pipe acts as a dynamic collector. So it hits this ramp and it empties as it goes round and empties into the base station, and this gets pumped out.
We get a two and a half times uplift in the output of the greenhouses. This vertical growing system will allow farmers to produce the very best food in England and make Britain more secure in its own food production. We’ve got wonderful land, and we should be able to grow everything we eat.’

Executive summary;
‘The UK faces a growing health crisis, with rising rates of chronic diseases putting immense pressure both on individuals and the NHS. While the link between food and health is now well-established, emerging evidence suggests that the way food is produced could also play a critical role in combating our health issues. Farmers could be key to improving public health by enhancing the nutritional quality of their produce.
The idea that “food is medicine” dates back to Hippocrates, but modern research is revisiting this concept with a new focus: not just on what we eat, but how our food is produced. Concerns are mounting that the nutrient density of our food is in decline. This has sparked interest in whether changes in agricultural methods could lead to more nutritious food, thereby helping to prevent chronic diseases and promote good health.
A small but growing number of researchers and farmers are exploring how specific farming methods could boost the nutritional content of food. If successful, these methods could be integrated into broader strategies to improve public health. Through my study tour, I identified four key areas where evidence demonstrates a clear link between farming method and nutrient density:
Soil Health: Regenerative farming practices that improve soil health can increase the populations of beneficial microorganisms, which play a crucial role in nutrient cycling. Healthier soils could therefore lead to more nutrient-rich crops.
Breeding and Variety Selection: Selecting and breeding crop varieties with a greater ability to take up nutrients could help to improve nutrient density.
Biofortification: Enhancing the nutrient content of crops either through selective breeding to take up a particular nutrient, or by applying nutrients directly to plants during growth, potentially leading to foods that are richer in minerals.
Animal Feed: Influencing the nutritional content of animal products; meat, milk and eggs, through optimising the animal’s diet.
While the potential benefits of these methods are promising, there is still much work to be done. Collaboration between researchers and farmers is essential to understand the impact of different farming practices on food quality. Large-scale human health trials may also be needed to confirm the health benefits of consuming more nutrient dense foods. Additionally, healthcare professionals must become more aware of how food quality, influenced by farming methods, can affect health.
For real change to occur, comprehensive data collection and stronger evidence are necessary, along with closer collaboration between agricultural and public health sectors. Farmers who sell directly to consumers have an opportunity to promote the nutritional benefits of their practices, however broader adoption will require systemic changes, including potential new incentives that reward farmers for not just the quantity, but the quality of food they produce. If these efforts are successful, they could lead to a new understanding of the role of food production in public health and potentially reduce the burden of chronic diseases. It could also transform how we value food in society’
A simple way for farmers to take back control over their land and livestock is to register it in the farm owner’s name, not the council’s.
Watch; Saving farmers and humanity; Richard Vobes, 29 February 2024
Michael O’Bernicia; “Only reason that the British farmers are currently under the cosh of the government is because of one technical problem that exists for all landowners in this country, and that is when the land is conveyed. Let’s just take an example. When a farmer bought the land that they’re farming, even if there are no financial encumbrances registered at the land registry, the owner of the land is free to write whichever local authority he chooses in the box marked local authority on the land registry form, which is called an AP1 form. Now the AP1 form is what your solicitor uses to change what’s written in the land registers.
And there are two land registers, one is the the registration of ownership and the other is the registration of charges. And when you have no charges over your land, in the event that you’re a farmer and you’ve just bought this land and you don’t want to grant jurisdiction to the government to tell you what to do, to order you to cull your livestock on fraudulent arguments which simply don’t hold water, you can fill in in this one box on a form of the land registry. You can fill in your own name or your own trust or your own organisation as the local authority instead of your local council. And there is absolutely nothing that anybody can do to stop you.
This is called the ancient law of manorial estates. It means that if you own a piece of land, then you are the sole sovereign of that land. You are able to say what happens on it as long as what happens on it is lawful and nobody can stop you unless you have signed away the sovereignty of your land to the local council by granting it granting it jurisdiction. Now we realise that this is a concept that is probably going to be alien to most people. There may be a few of you who’ve heard me talk about this on various webinars that I’ve run over the past few months and years, but I’ll just run over it again.
So what I’m talking about is the only reason that the local council claims to have the right to charge you council tax and and the charge of parking banditry business outside your property, on the road outside your property. The only reason they get away with doing such things is because your conveyancing solicitor when you bought that property filled in the local council’s name in the box marked global authority. I’m suggesting that if every British farmer wrote their own name or the name of their own organisation in that box instead of the local authority’s name, local councils, then even though every farmer would be would become immediately responsible for all the maintenance that the council are supposed to do and don’t do, i.e maintain the roads around the property and any street lighting that’s there etcetera.
Apart from that there is no change except the council have no jurisdiction to argue that they have authority over the farmer to order the farmer to get the cows vaccinated or the sheep or whatever livestock they have to call it on the basis of a false notion that there’s some killer lurgy out there that is going to wipe everybody out if they don’t do the cull. What I’m saying is in the event this remedy is adopted by all British farmers, they take the jurisdiction of the government to act away from them. And the legal argument becomes very easy to win. Where is the jurisdiction to act? It doesn’t exist and because they demonstrate through the land registry that they have established jurisdiction elsewhere the matter is settled and closed.”
Richard Vobes; “Can the farmers and in fact can anybody for that matter go back to the land registry and say there’s been an error and I want to correct it and change that box on there so that the jurisdiction is changed to your own jurisdiction?”
Michael O’Bernicia; “That’s a great question Richard. Yes. Absolutely. So let me just run over that for people. So in the event that farmers or anybody else who owns land in this country that’s registered at the land register for that matter.
But let’s focus on the farmers. So in the event the farmers have registered land, they can make an application called an AP1 application. And all you have to do is fill out the AP1 form. They’re all downloadable easily on the net, and you fill out the form or you get a conveyancing solicitor to fill out the form, but I wouldn’t. It’s very easy to fill out the form yourself.
You just simply look up the directions on how to fill out the form on the land registry’s website. It’s the best way to do it and it’s it’s relatively simplistic. So you fill out the form and then you also make a witness statement yourself which is just a plain and simple witness statement affirming the facts and the facts are whatever you need them to be. But in this particular case, the facts would be that you have the authority to change the register to read a different local authority to the one from before. And the land registry will immediately get in contact with you and say you do realise this means you’re liable for the maintenance costs on your property.
And all you do is you affirm that you are well aware of that, and that’s the only thing that we’re aware of thus far that the land registry has to make you aware of. And once you are aware of that, that’s in through application. There as long as there is nobody who objects to it, and if you haven’t got a mortgage a mortgagee on board or a bank who’s got a charge over the property who’s basically ordering you to do what they think you should do on the property and not what you want to do unless you’re in that situation which takes a different type of remedy, there’s nobody who can stop you doing this.”

Watch; Clarkson’s Farm Is Telling the Truth No One Else Will; Bruce Unfiltered World, 8 June 2025
“There are only 62 pubs per 100,000 people in Britain today. Twenty years ago there were over 105. That’s not just a stat, it’s a symptom of decay. Because Clarkson’s Farm isn’t just good telly, it becomes one of the few honest portrayals of what’s really happening in rural Britain. While Westminster talks a good game about being pro-farmer, Clarkson shows us the truth. Red tape, exhaustion and a slow, quiet dismantling of countryside life. Because in Series 4, Clarkson looks tired, worn down, or less of the Top Gear bounce, more of the 1,000 yard stare. Caleb’s gone for the first few episodes, and it’s lonely, no help, no idea which button starts the tractor and it hits home. Because that’s what real farming looks like. And it’s not just the fields that are struggling, the villages around them dying, pubs and shops closing, and Clarkson spells it out, if this carries on, what even is a village? A few houses, no shop, no pub, just people stuck indoors, nothing to do, nowhere to go, not that most can afford a night out anymore anyway. And this isn’t nostalgia, it’s a crisis. And yet the only help the government offers rural communities? It’s tied to Net Zero grants if you stop farming, incentives if you let land go wild. Want to grow actual food? Well, too bad. And Clarkson makes it painfully clear the system punishes those who want to feed the country and rewards those who give up. And when he tries to bring life back, revive a pub, create jobs, build a shop, he’s blocked at every turn by bureaucrats in councils, the same ones who say they’re supporting the rural economy. But amidst the mud and machinery, there’s something powerful. Harriet Cohen, a young Derbyshire farm worker, steps in, puts Clarkson in his place, she hasn’t even watched the show, and she doesn’t need to. She is the next generation, confident, sharp and doing the job better than her celebrity boss. And Clarkson, credit to him, lifts people like her and Caleb up by showing his own flaws. And in doing so, he gives young rural workers something they rarely get, recognition and a bit of hope. So while the critics sneer from London, Clarkson’s Farm is doing what Countryfile won’t. Telling the truth. Hubs are vanishing, shops are closing, farmers are being nudged out. And behind all the humour is one serious question, who is actually fighting for the countryside really? Because it sure as hell isn’t the government.”
I confess, I would love to be an Amish farmer.
Watch; 800 Amish farmers move a barn Matt Van Swal, 30 May 2025
‘Astonishing video footage has emerged of a group of 800 Amish men in Ohio all simultaneously picking up a barn and carrying it 200 feet. According to locals, the move, “went according to plan” and took less than a half hour. No large machinery was used at all.’
Though the video is boasting of how technology is replacing human labour, the pictures show the cruelty endemic in each system to maximise speed and so-called efficiency. If we don’t get in touch with our humanity, it will also be normal to treat our fellow humans in this way.

Though the demise of 190 dairy farmers last year might not have reduced the amount of milk produced, the true cost of the big-is-beautiful mindset is the destruction of our island’s food sovereignty, local economy, quality of the milk and welfare of the cows.
Listen; Dairy Farmers; BBC Farming Today, 27 June 2025
BBC Intro; ‘New figures from the farming industry body the AHDB show that 190 dairy farmers left the industry last year. There are now 7,040 dairy producers in England, Wales and Scotland. That’s a 2.6 percent fall from the year before. But, despite that, there has been an increase in the amount of milk produced. We ask a dairy farmer why so many are leaving.’
Presenter; “Dairy farmers across the board are producing more milk because we have fewer, bigger farms. So in a sense, does it matter if people leave dairying? Is it fair to say that actually the more inefficient farms are the ones that close?”
George Holmes; “I don’t think it’s necessarily the more inefficient ones that will close, but I think it’s the efficient ones that will grow bigger. Does it matter? I think it does in the long run because I think it has an overall impact on our countryside. But also actually the UK is a tremendous place to make milk. We have a great infrastructure and a great climate for milk production. We can actually do it with a lower carbon footprint compared to many other countries in the world. So we actually should be producing milk here, and we should be using that milk to swap for other foodstuffs that we can’t produce in this country. So it should be a key element of how we manage food security.”
Though replacing farmers’ knowledge of their soil and plant needs with AI is my nightmare, I have to concede that it might be useful when farmers are incessantly brainwashed by sales reps to use chemical and machine inputs. Amish farmer, John Kemph’s AI system Delphine, is an example of easily accessible, genuinely nature-friendly advice.
Listen; Investment trends shaping regen market growth; ffinlo Costain, FarmGate 27 June 2025
Intro; ‘Venture capitalists need to be able spot a good investment – but to do that they need a remarkable understanding of the market in which they operate. Christopher Ramsay and Simon Evill are the brains behind Pelican Ag, a venture capital company right at the heart of the regenerative agriculture movement – here they provide insight into the key themes and trends that are shaping the next phase of market growth’.
ffinlo; “I take your point that, of course, AI can help at all stages of the supply chain. And this question of working out where it’s most useful to have that sort of immediate assistance and where the supply chain can sort itself out in different ways. But just this last week, John Kempf’s new AI system, Delphi, has landed, and I wonder if either of you have had a chance to try that out as yet?”
Simon Evill; “Yeah, I’ve had a chance to try it out, and Chris and I have met John, he’s a lovely man, fascinating polymath, and experienced farmer.”
ffinlo; How can we help farmers get to a sensible decision based on a very complex situation?
Simon Evill; “The reality from what we’re seeing is you need a lot more data. You need topographical data. You need soil data, but you also need to understand the actual farm business itself. That comes back to the agronomy role or the land agent role. There’s a lot of things to factor into even just one decision like trying to address a calcium deficiency in a potato crop”.
ffinlo; ” What was interesting about John’s Delphi is that, of course, it has the whole weight of John’s mind to draw on, and so it’s able to get further in terms of regenerative agriculture. But, it doesn’t have the nuance of the specific location, of the specifics of a farm business. What it did seem to be very good at doing was raising other things that I might need to think about. So, for example, I asked a fairly simple question this morning about ploughing versus glyphosate to produce milling wheat, and it came back with fairly nuanced answers. But what it was inviting me to do was to think about it further. It was giving me other things that I needed to ask questions about. So from that perspective, it was helpful. And I guess it’s going to need lots of testing and further development. But it seems that the role of AI is to help us think more clearly rather than simply giving us an answer in itself. Does that accord with your experience, Simon?”
Simon Evill; “Yes, definitely, I mean, one idea that comes to mind is there’s some excellent regenerative agriculture courses now globally. One that I did was with Richard Perkins, the regenerative ag master class. He’s got thousands of hours worth of content, which goes into very, very minute detail about different elements of regeneration in a sort of a small-scale farming context. I don’t think it will be very long before a sort of an AI version of Richard can sit on a farmer’s desktop and bring you to the YouTube information or unlock the information within his library in order to help the farmer in situ try and make a decision a bit like Delphi. So, the opportunities here are vast. Executing and monetising them is an entirely different ball game because, as we know, farmers are tricky fish and the value proposition needs to be incredibly high here to see traction as we’ve seen with Mad Capital and NoFence, the value proposition needs to be right on point for there to be a scalable opportunity.”
ffinlo Costain; “I put in; ‘Ploughing verses glyphosate to produce milling wheat.'”
John Kempf’s digital avatar Delphi; “When considering ploughing versus glyphosate for producing milling wheat, the decision hinges on several factors, including soil health, weed pressure, long-term sustainability, and the specific goals of your farming operation. Both approaches have distinct implications for soil biology, carbon dynamics, and crop quality, so it’s essential to weigh these carefully. Ploughing, as a mechanical weed control method, can be effective in burying weed seeds and preparing a seedbed. However, it comes with significant drawbacks. Tillage disrupts soil structure, oxidises organic matter, and can lead to compaction, especially if tools like discs or moldboard ploughs are used. Over time, this degradation can reduce water infiltration, microbial activity, and overall soil health. That said, if tillage is necessary, using tools like a narrow-pointed field cultivator or a v-ripper can minimise structural damage compared to more aggressive implements. Glyphosate, on the other hand, offers a chemical approach to weed control, often used in no-till systems to preserve soil structure and organic matter. However, glyphosate is not without its challenges, it can act as a chelating agent, tying up essential micronutrients like manganese and zinc, which are critical for plant health. Additionally, its widespread use has been linked to shifts in soil microbial communities and the development of herbicide-resistant weed species . From a regenerative perspective, reliance on glyphosate can undermine efforts to build resilient, biologically active soils.
For producing milling wheat, the ultimate goal is not just yield but also grain quality, particularly protein content and baking characteristics. Achieving this requires a focus on soil health principles: minimising disturbance, maintaining soil cover, and fostering a diverse microbial community. Integrating cover crops, crop rotations, and balanced nutrition can reduce weed pressure naturally while enhancing soil fertility and crop resilience . If you’re deciding between these two approaches, I’d encourage you to consider a hybrid or transitional strategy. For instance, you might use glyphosate sparingly in the short term while implementing practices like cover-cropping and reduced tillage to build soil health and reduce dependency on herbicides over time. Alternatively, if ploughing is necessary, ensure it’s done judiciously and complemented with practices that rebuild soil structure and organic matter. Could you share more about your current soil conditions, weed challenges, or specific goals for your milling wheat crop? That would help refine the recommendations further.”
Fishing
Industrial farming of salmon goes to another level of cruelty with this newbuild land–based factory.
Listen; Onshore salmon farm plans; BBC Farming Today, 9 June 2025
Presenter; “Now the town of Grimsby was built on fish, known in the early 20th century as the world’s largest fishing port with extensive processing facilities and a vast fleet catching cod and haddock. The town was always at the forefront of fishing innovation and now it could become home to the UK’s first large scale onshore salmon farm. A judicial review has upheld Northeast Lincolnshire Council’s decision to grant it planning permission. An animal rights group had challenged the development on fish welfare grounds. Lara King from BBC Humberside has been following the story and she’s been telling me about the proposed salmon farm.”
Lara King; “So it’s Aquacultured Seafood Limited, they’re behind this proposal, it’s a £120 million proposal to build what would be the UK’s first large scale on-land salmon farm in Grimsby and it’s not actually far from Grimsby docks. It’ll be around 10 acres and it’ll process around 5,000 tonnes of salmon a year. The company says the site at Oakley in Grimsby is the optimum location for a UK-based onshore aquaculture farm because they say there’s a strong knowledge of fishing and food processing nearby. Now the fish are farmed in big indoor tanks, which the company says minimises the risks of things like pollution and parasites and also fish escaping. And they also say that means that fish welfare would be optimised.
Presenter; “Well, that’s what they say, but animal rights campaigners don’t agree and that’s why they brought this judicial review, isn’t it?”
Lara King; “Yes, that’s right, absolutely. Animal Equality UK brought the legal challenge two years ago because of animal welfare concerns. And they say they won’t back down despite losing their challenge. They say similar farms in other countries have failed. Abigail Penny is the group’s executive director.”
Abigail Penny; “This mega farm represents an entirely new form of factory farming, with only around 100 or so of these farms existing globally. These online sites are untested, unwanted and highly experimental. This proposal is bad for the environment, bad for the local community and bad for animals.”
Presenter; “Now they say this isn’t a defeat, but it’s rather a bittersweet victory because despite upholding Northeast Lincolnshire council’s planning approval, the High Court judge actually ruled that animal welfare concerns could be a key planning consideration in future cases.'”
If you want to hear the trawler industry’s excuses to continue to destroy the sea bed, open the link as I only pasted below a trusted opinion of the damage caused.
Listen; Bottom trawling; BBC Farming Today, 13 June 2025
Presenter; “The UN Ocean Summit in Nice ends later today. It’s hoped more countries will ratify a high seas treaty and so bring it into force. The agreement was actually made two years ago to put 30% of international waters into marine protected areas by 2030, but even within those areas bottom trawling will be allowed. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is amongst many campaigners who say that must change.”
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall; “There’s been a pretty united front from marine conservation NGOs, backed by a lot of good science, showing that the extraordinary damage done by this form of fishing is having a long term negative consequence not just for the marine wildlife on the ocean floor, but for fish stocks and therefore for the fishing industry as well.”
CO2 Tunnel Vision
Of course the government’s mouthpiece, the BBC, gives the developers’ PR when describing the Lime Down solar panel project that will cover 2,000 acres of food-growing land. They perpetuate the company, Island Green Power’s claim that the scheme will produce enough energy to power 115,000 homes. Sure, but if they cared about local peoples’ access to renewable energy, they would build them on 15,000 local roofs. The truth is that the small amount of energy produced will be sold to the national grid; profiting the company and their Australian bank backers, Macquarie, that owned Thames Water for 11 years and loaded it with debts of £7.4 billion, largely to pay directors’ bonuses and shareholder dividends. The local MP, Roz Savage gave the true interpretation of the project.
South Cotswolds MP, Roz Savage’s speech in parliament on Thursday June 5th (3.56pm);
“We should look closely at the companies behind Lime Down. The developer, Island Green Power, is now fully owned by Macquarie bank, a global investment firm with a track record that should give us all pause for thought. During its time leading the consortium that ran Thames Water, Macquarie extracted billions in dividends while letting infrastructure crumble and rivers fill with sewage. It is an asset management company. Its job is to make money, and it does it well. It is not a public utilities company. It is not interested in home-grown, community-led energy; it is interested in profit. It is not here to protect the beauty of the British countryside or to invest in long-term sustainability. Its business model is simple: build big, move fast and maximise returns, whatever the cost to people, nature or public trust,”
Out of the blue last autumn we heard that a new feed additive, Bovaer, was being trialled on dairy cattle to reduce their methane emissions. When we heard that the product is listed as toxic, there was a storm of protest based on the welfare of the animals that were potentially being poisoned along with consumers. Though not all supermarkets stock it, you can be sure to avoid products from cattle fed Bovaer by buying organic.
Watch; PREVIEW… Christof Plothe: Bovaer in our Food Chain The Truth Contract, 19 May 2025
Christof Plothe; “It manipulates the microbiome. We’ll go into that. It can be passed on by the milk to our children. It does show cancer-causing properties in animals. It does show infertility in male and female animals. It’s not tested for the safety on the environment. And we have to ask, as you just mentioned, David, why are we using it in the first place?”
David Carter; “….presumably they intended it not to be given to humans, but they’re giving it to humans through the food supply indirectly. Though they put this potentially poisonous toxic substance into the food supply without telling anybody.
Christof Plothe; “Exactly. 50% of the citations in these papers had been censored.”
David Carter; “And could not conclude on the safety of the additive for other animal species or categories. It’s like, what more evidence do we need that this is bonkers?”
Christof Plothe; “It offers a short term methane reduction but raises significant safety, ethical and environmental concerns, and the long term impacts on cattle, humans and the ecosystem remain unclear.”
David Carter; “That will be really clear. There has been no safety testing for this.”
Christof Plothe; ” That’s another trick by the industry. Just look at it for a short time and declare it safe. But even there it was responsible for developing tumours.”
‘Some of the questions we explore include:
– What are Bovaer’s long-term health risks to humans and animals, including microbiome disruption, cancer, and fertility issues, given no rigorous safety studies?
– Is Bovaer’s mandate to cut methane (0.02% of atmosphere) justified, or are regenerative farming and seaweed better options?
– How can we ensure Bovaer’s transparency with labels and independent research, given its untested use in food?’
Read; Highland sheep vanish as carbon projects take over, sector warns; Farminguk, 23rd June 2025
‘The wholesale removal of sheep from Highland estates for carbon offsetting is triggering a crisis that extends far beyond falling lamb numbers, warns the Scottish sheep sector.
Beyond lost sheep and meat production, the NSA (National Sheep Association) warns of wider consequences, including the erosion of rural skills such as hefting, working and training sheepdogs, and deep knowledge of the landscape—skills that are not taught formally and are hard to replace once lost. Declining livestock numbers also threaten businesses reliant on throughput, including auction marts, abattoirs, and animal health and nutrition services.’
The fact that pasture-fed animals are carbon neutral falls on deaf ears with the BBC; the loyal voice of the government must push NetZero.
Listen; Report shows more action needed to meet emissions targets in agriculture BBC Farming Today, 25 June 2025
Presenter; “Tom Lancaster, head of land, food and farming at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, told me that despite showing some gains in certain areas like woodland creation and peatland restoration, overall the report shows that more progress is needed”.
Presenter; “And one other area was cutting meat consumption, which is mentioned in the report as beneficial to cutting carbon emissions. Has that happened?”
Tom Lancaster; “According to the Climate Change Committee, again that is on trend if you like, and I think that reflects the fact that people are just choosing to eat slightly differently now, we eat food from lots of different cultures, many of which have a much bigger focus, and culture, of eating vegetarian foods.”
Presenter; “And also connected to that is the fall in the number of livestock in the country, sheep as well as cattle, which we have mentioned in previous programmes. Is that making a significant difference?”
Tom Lancaster; “It will make a difference in terms of emissions over time because cattle and sheep are ruminant livestock so they emit significant amounts of methane, so agriculture accounts for over half of the UK’s methane emissions which is a really powerful greenhouse gas. But it will also make a difference in terms of the land available for woodland and other habitats that we need to create in order to get to Net Zero, and this isn’t necessarily a bad news story for farming, I think this can be a really good news story for farming if the sector across the four countries of the UK is supported in the right way through a new Land Management Scheme, but also through the markets that all farmers have to engage with and the buyers and supermarkets that farmers have to sell their produce to.”
The paid up ‘experts’ are leading the narrative that excess carbon is causing climate change.
Read; Huge blow for Ed Miliband as new poll reveals Britons have turned against Net Zero MSN, 16 June 2025
‘Britons are increasingly turning against Net Zero, as a bombshell poll reveals they now fear the impact it will have on the cost of living crisis. The survey from Merlin Strategy reveals that public mood has shifted “sharply” on Net Zero. Asked whether Ed Miliband’s mad eco policies have helped or hurt their living standards, more voters than not now agree that they have. 38% said Net Zero has had a negative impact on their standard of living, compared to just 21% who believe it has been positive. Reform UK voters are the most supportive of this proposition, with 57% criticising Net Zero, compared to 32% of Tory voters and 20% of Labour voters.
Responding to the poll, deputy Reform UK leader Richard Tice told the Express: “The great British people are realising big time that they have been conned and lied to by the eco zealots on Net Stupid Zero.”
“They now know that it means higher bills, higher cost of living with jobs & industries being destroyed.”The blow to Ed Miliband’s agenda comes the same week as a report by Grayling Energy found that 55% of voters say the top minister’s policy of clean power by 2030 is unattainable. This compares to a tiny 9% who believe in the former Labour’s agenda. Shadow energy secretary Andrew Bowie said: “Kemi Badenoch has been clear – the current Net Zero by 2050 is impossible. We must change course.”
“We need a properly thought through approach, not more hot air from Net Zero nutters intent on leaving us all weaker, poorer and less secure.”
Solar panels only have a lifespan of up to 25 years. By 2050, an estimated 200 million tonnes of solar panels could be dumped in landfills as toxic waste.
Read; Challenge to stop solar panels becoming a ‘waste mountain’ BBC News, 4 June 2025
‘While they are being promoted around the world as a crucial weapon in reducing carbon emissions, solar panels degrade and become gradually less efficient. After about 25-30 years it’s typically more cost effective to replace them with new ones. Experts say billions of panels will eventually all need to be disposed of and replaced. “The world has installed more than one terawatt of solar capacity. Ordinary solar panels have a capacity of about 400W, so if you count both rooftops and solar farms, there could be as many as 2.5 billion solar panels.,” says Dr Rong Deng, an expert in solar panel recycling at the University of New South Wales in Australia. According to the British government, there are tens of millions of solar panels in the UK but the specialist infrastructure to scrap and recycle them is lacking. Energy experts are calling for urgent government action to prevent a looming global environmental disaster. “It’s going to be a waste mountain by 2050, unless we get recycling chains going now,” says Ute Collier, deputy director of the International Renewable Energy Agency. “We’re producing more and more solar panels – which is great – but how are we going to deal with the waste?” she asks.’
This is an excellent summary of the true costs of carbon tunnel vision.
Watch: We in Great Britain Don’t Have the Money, Workforce or Materials to Achieve Net Zero Ian Brighthope, 5 June 2025
‘Michael Kelly, an Emeritus Professor of Technology at the University of Cambridge and former government scientist, argues that the UK’s Net Zero plans by 2050 are an “engineering fantasy” due to practical, financial, and resource constraints. Below is a summary of the key points he makes during the conversation: Achieving Net Zero by electrifying ground transport and all industrial, commercial, and domestic heating would require expanding the electrical grid at an estimated cost of £1.4 trillion. Retrofitting all 26 million UK houses to reduce carbon emissions by 100% could cost around £2–4 trillion, based on pilot programs showing £85,000 per house for only 60% emission reductions. These costs equate to 7–8% of GDP, far exceeding earlier estimates (e.g., Lord Stern’s 1% of GDP), potentially requiring tax increases and equalling the education budget for 30 years.
The plan would need 40,000 civil and electrical engineers and three times as many skilled tradespeople working full-time for 30 years, a workforce comparable to the education or health sectors.The UK lacks these personnel, with training a professional engineer taking 10 years, and current shortages already evident (e.g., plumbers, electricians). Diverting engineers from critical roles (e.g., hospital life support systems) would be necessary but impractical. Electrifying all cars would require copper equivalent to one year’s global supply, and wind turbines need 600–700 times more high-quality steel and concrete than gas turbines for equivalent energy output. Copper mining must increase tenfold, but supply is limited, and renewable infrastructure (e.g., wind farms) is material-intensive, contradicting efficient resource use principles.
The current grid must triple in size (2.7 times) to handle electrified transport (0.7) and heating (1.0), as winter heating demands three times more energy than electricity. Most homes need rewiring (e.g., from 60 to 120 amps) to support heat pumps, fast chargers, and electric appliances, costing £700 billion for distribution upgrades. Infrastructure limits (e.g., transformers, wires) in some regions are already at capacity, and grid connection delays for wind farms can reach 15 years. Battery storage is prohibitively expensive and impractical, for example, a £45 million battery in Adelaide could power the city for 17 minutes, and one for Addenbrooke’s Hospital would cost 180–1,300 times more than diesel generators for equivalent reliability. Battery energy density is 40 times less than petrol, with only a six-fold improvement over 50 years and a projected two-fold increase in the next 50, making large-scale storage unfeasible this century.
Retrofitting progress is slow (1% in 10 years vs. a needed 25% in 40 years), and there’s no roadmap for Net Zero, unlike the semiconductor industry’s clear 10-year plans.The scale of disruption (e.g., rewiring homes, replacing appliances) is comparable to the 1960s gas conversion but far more complex, requiring decades of coordinated effort. Kelly argues it’s unethical and unprofessional for engineers and institutions (e.g., Royal Academy of Engineering, Royal Society) to not highlight Net Zero’s infeasibility, comparing it to building on an earthquake fault without warning. Engineers have a Code of Ethics requiring transparency, but many remain silent, assuming Net Zero is possible or avoiding debate to “go along for the ride.” There’s no public or scientific debate on Net Zero’s feasibility, with Kelly’s estimates dismissed without explanation (e.g., by the Energy Secretary). Cancel culture and fear of backlash deter scientists from questioning climate models or Net Zero policies, as admitting models “run too hot” could slash research funding.
Climate models are unreliable for long-term predictions, akin to weather forecasts beyond 10 days, due to complex, unproven assumptions about interacting variables.The belief that zero carbon emissions will stop climate change is flawed, as climate has always changed, and past geological periods had higher CO2 and temperatures without catastrophic outcomes. UK and US emission reductions are dwarfed by China’s (33 times UK savings) and India’s (7 times) increases from 2000–2022, rendering local efforts futile. EU restrictions on fossil fuel development in Africa, forcing reliance on costly renewables, are seen as immoral and akin to modern slavery.
EVs are less practical due to high battery costs, limited range (half a petrol tank’s), and inefficiencies in cold climates. Consumer reluctance is evident (e.g., unsold EVs at Bristol port), and mandates forcing EV sales could harm the car industry, leading to degrowth. Renewable energy (e.g., wind, solar) requires extensive land use and mining, causing more ecological damage than fossil fuels, which use smaller pipelines. Green lobbyists are criticised for single-issue focus, ignoring trade-offs like material use and environmental impact. Small nuclear reactors, proven in US Navy warships, are viable but face overregulation due to excessive safety standards (e.g., surviving nuclear bombs or plane crashes). France’s low electricity costs from nuclear power demonstrate feasibility, but current reactors wouldn’t meet modern safety rules, and nuclear can’t ramp up/down quickly like gas turbines.
Kelly advocates adaptation (e.g., sea walls, like New Zealand’s earthquake fund) over mitigation, as it’s more practical and only requires action when needed (e.g., Thames Barrier’s success). Net Zero’s scale risks a financial crash by the decade’s end, exacerbated by unrealistic policies and economic burdens. Modern civilisation relies on seven times more energy per person than in 1800, and reducing energy use would revert living standards to pre-industrial levels.New technologies (e.g., EVs) destroy old jobs (e.g., like shipping to aviation), and Net Zero could lead to degrowth, reducing production and mobility. Kelly concludes that Net Zero is unachievable by 2050 due to insurmountable barriers in cost, workforce, materials, and infrastructure, urging a shift to adaptation and more realistic energy policies like nuclear, while criticising the lack of debate and professional accountability.’
Read; UK Housing Grab: Government and immigrants are forcibly taking homes; The Exposé, 12 June 2025
‘Norfolk residents are being forced to sell their homes to make way for a solar farm. In another instance of a housing grab, immigrants have forcibly taken an elderly woman’s home from her; the police say they cannot intervene, leaving her to pursue legal action against the immigrants in an effort to reclaim her property. Residents in three “Domesday villages” fear their homes will be the first in Britain to be compulsorily purchased to make way for the country’s biggest-ever solar farm. Dozens of villagers living in Hempnall, Saxlingham and Tasburgh in Norfolk have received letters from a developer saying their homes “may be required” to create space for the East Pye Solar Project. The development will cover a massive 2,500 acres – the equivalent of 1,762 football pitches or the size of Chichester in West Sussex – and is 10 times bigger than the UK’s current largest in Flintshire, Wales.The Government is doing the same to farming but in a less obvious way.
Last year, we published an article that highlighted Gareth Phillips, a “renewable energy expert” at Pinsent Masons, declaring that the UK’s inheritance tax on farmers will free up land for “renewable energy” projects. The reduction in the relief on inheritance for farmers potentially threatens the survival of independently-run family farming in the UK, yet Phillips was pleased at the news because, presumably, it would mean more business for him. But Phillips is simply attempting to capitalise on what is government policy, as the UK’s Energy Secretary confirmed a month later. In December 2024, Ed Miliband proposed carpeting the countryside with solar panels as he pledged to bring in “the most ambitious reforms to the country’s energy system in generations.” Bringing about food insecurity by diminishing agricultural output was evident before Phillips declared his allegiance and Mad Miliband made his proposals.
A few months before, we published an article about a speech given by Cornish farmer Keith Andrews explaining how the UK government is incentivising farmers not to grow food. We were not able to establish when or where this speech was given, but Andrews explained that under the Sustainable Farming Incentive, the UK government was paying farmers to plant seed for birds and bees instead of crops. The incentive is one of three schemes that make up the Environmental Land Management, which replaced the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy and aims to “support the rural economy while achieving the goals of the 25 Year Environment Plan and a commitment to Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050.”
In addition to being an expensive, unrenewable and unreliable source of energy, solar farms are also environmentally unfriendly. Apart from the threat to farming (which is environmentally friendly aside from the use of chemicals suffixed with “cide”) and the loss of habitat for the birds and bees (their natural habitats, including farmland, are covered with solar panels), the battery storage required for solar farms poses a threat of catastrophic and uncontrollable fires.
Persistent problems have plagued nature-based carbon projects – the introduction and solution is pasted below – the entire article is very interesting to prove that carbon tunnel vision is a disaster that is the inevitable consequence of trusting economists, who have to monetise everything, to run the world:
Read; Our forests are not spreadsheets, 8.9ha, by Robert Nasi, Natural Capital, 11 June 2025
‘This article is by Robert Nasi, Director General of the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR).’
‘As a tropical forest ecologist, I have spent decades studying ecosystems teeming with a complexity that still humbles me. I have seen firsthand how a single ancient tree can be an entire world for countless species, how the subtle shift in understory plants can signal profound changes in the ecosystem’s health, and how interconnected everything truly is.
So, when I hear discussions about creating markets to “save nature,” a part of me is hopeful, but a bigger part is deeply cautious.
The idea of channelling much-needed funds towards conservation is vital. But looking at how these market ideas have played out, like carbon markets, gives me pause. Forests, wetlands and the natural world are not simple spreadsheets; treating them as such can lead us down a perilous path.
The story begins with carbon markets. Born from a genuine desire to tackle climate change, these markets aimed to put a price on pollution, creating a system where emitting fewer greenhouse gases had a tangible financial value. The core idea was to create a tradable unit – a tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). If a company or a project could reduce emissions or pull carbon out of the atmosphere, they could earn carbon credits to sell in a carbon market.
From an ecologist’s viewpoint, the design of these markets favoured things that were easier to count than the intricate workings of a forest. Think of industrial projects: capturing methane from a landfill or installing solar panels. The inputs and outputs, the reduction in CO2e, could be measured with a certain engineering precision. This is not to say it was perfect. Still, it was more contained, more predictable than guaranteeing how much carbon a newly planted forest will store over the next century or proving that an existing forest would not have been logged anyway. This inherent bias towards the “easily quantifiable” was understandable from a market perspective thriving on clear, fungible units.
Big challenges emerged when these carbon markets tried to fully embrace Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) – using forests, soils and wetlands to soak up carbon. Forests or wetlands are incredible carbon sinks, no doubt. They can deliver a huge chunk of the emission reductions we need globally. But they are also living, breathing, dynamic systems. And this is where the carbon market’s simplistic logic began to clash with ecological reality.’
So, what is the alternative? Is there one indeed? I believe that if we are to use market-like mechanisms for biodiversity, they must be built on a foundation of ecological realism:
Embrace local uniqueness, not global fungibility – We must accept that biodiversity value is local and specific. A credit from a restored peat bog in Scotland is different from one from a protected coral reef in Indonesia. Markets should focus on driving investment into specific, high-priority ecosystems, with metrics tailored to those places.
Prioritise real outcomes over tradable units – The goal shouldn’t be to create a perfectly liquid commodity, but to ensure that investments lead to genuine, measurable and lasting improvements in ecosystem health, species survival and local livelihoods. This means robust, long-term monitoring by independent ecologists, not just a paper exercise.
Integrity in measurement is key – If we must use metrics, they need to be scientifically sound, transparent and reflect true ecological complexity as much as possible, moving beyond simplistic proxies like mere acreage. We need to be honest about uncertainties and build in large precautionary buffers.
Strengthen governance and transparency – Independent verification, clear rules, public registries and well-resourced enforcement are non-negotiable. The conflicts of interest that have sometimes plagued carbon markets (where those who benefit from credit sales also influence their validation) must be avoided.
Empower local and Indigenous stewards – Indigenous Peoples and local communities are often the most effective guardians of biodiversity. Any market mechanism must respect their rights, involve them centrally in design and governance, and ensure they receive equitable benefits. Schemes like Plan Vivo, which mandate a significant portion of funding goes to local stakeholders, offer a good starting point.
Focus on contributions, not just offsets – The language matters. Biodiversity credits should primarily fund additional conservation and restoration – nature-positive contributions – rather than being seen to compensate for avoidable destruction elsewhere. The mitigation hierarchy (avoid, minimise, restore, then offset as a last resort) must be rigorously applied.
Our planet’s biodiversity is not a collection of interchangeable parts that can be easily valued and traded like stocks or shares. It is the intricate, evolved web of life that sustains us all. While financial mechanisms can play a role in its protection, they must be designed with a deep understanding of and respect for ecological principles. We cannot afford to simply replicate the flawed logic of past market attempts.
For the sake of the forests I study, the people who steward these, and the myriad life they support, we need to be far more thoughtful, rigorous and honest in how we approach the “valuation” and “marketing” of nature.
It demands nothing less.
Watch or Read: The Climate Alarmism Scam – Why the Data Doesn’t Add Up by Paul Burgess,
The Truth Contract, 19 May 2025
‘Paul Burgess, B.Sc., M.Sc., is a retired Chartered Water Resources and Environment Engineer who managed water resource planning across the UK for many years overseeing supply, flood protection and weather monitoring. In 1971 he built one of the earliest climate models. After retiring he founded a business that went on to win a Wales Innovation Award for a globally sold product. Since the early 2000s Burgess has countered climate alarmism through his YouTube channel, Climate Realism.
Passionate about scientific truth, he gives talks nationwide at his own expense – exposing what he calls the “climate alarmism scam” using facts and data. This discussion is a must-watch summary of his case and essential primer for the argument that the concept of man-made climate change – which controls ever more aspects of Western life – is a total fabrication.’

David Carter; “Is climate science a science? Is CO2 a problem? Is extreme weather increasing? Is green energy cheaper and is net zero possible, desirable or achievable? It’s a really dangerous target for humanity.”
Paul Burgess; “We had a thriving car industry that’s gone, steel industry gone, aluminium industry gone, chemical industry going, you, you name it.”
David Carter; “We’ve been perilously close a few times with the production in CO2 to ending humanity because of a lack of CO2”
Paul Burgess; “Correct. What happened was the government basically cancelled me and the next day the government sent people in to brainwash them about CO2. That is what happened.”
David Carter; “I’ve always understood from the media that it’s the growth in CO2 that’s causing the temperature to rise, whereas actually what your graph is showing is the complete opposite. If we had left the system where it was 20 years ago, we would have spent 90 billion less just on energy. When you add on top of that the knock on consequences of having five times more expensive energy.”
Paul Burgess; “I’m not a conspiracy theorist. I hate conspiracy theorist. I’m afraid this one is true. It’s the biggest conspiracy there it’s ever been in the history of the world. All the religious cults, they all have leaders and the followers obey every word and do all stupid things, and the whole alarmist movement is a cult. I put a challenge out now to any professor, anyone you like, come and debate me. They don’t do it.”

Watch; The Agenda Film; 4 June 2025
‘The Agenda: Their Vision | Your Future’ is a feature-length independent documentary produced by Mark Sharman; former UK broadcasting executive at ITV and Sky (formerly BSkyB). In fiction and fact, there have always been people and organisations with ambitions to control the world. And now the oligarchs who pull the strings of finance and power finally have the tools to achieve their global objectives; omnipresent surveillance, artificial intelligence, digital currency and ultimately digital identities. The potential for social control of our lives and minds is alarmingly real. The plan has been decades in the making and has seen infiltration of governments, local councils, big business, civil society, the media and, crucially, education. A ceaseless push for a new reality, echoing Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, or George Orwell’s 1984.
‘The Agenda: Their Vision, Your Future’ examines the digital prison which awaits us if we do not push back right now. How your food, energy, money, travel and even your access to the internet could be limited and controlled; how financial power is strangling democracy and how global institutions like the World Health Organisation are commandeered to champion ideological and fiscal objectives.The centrepiece is man-made climate change and with it, the race to Net Zero. Both are encapsulated in the United Nations and its Agenda 2030. A force for good? Or “a blank cheque for totalitarian global control”?
The Agenda presents expert views from the UK, the USA and Europe.’

Read; BritCard: a passport to digital slavery; PAUL CUDENEC; 30 JUNE 2025
ZIM, the zio-imperialist mafia, has long cherished the dream of imposing a totalitarian-style compulsory ID scheme on the British population.
Tony Blair, one of its principal contemporary puppets, tried on its behalf to introduce an ID card 20 years ago, despite massive public opposition.
His response to critical colleagues at the time was, as the Financial Times reveals: “I accept all the problems but I just see this as an idea whose time has come”.
The Covid scam gave the former UK prime minister – who, like the WEF’s founder Klaus Schwab, has been awarded Israel’s Dan David Prize and is close to the zio-bankster Rothschilds – the chance to have a further, pandemic-pretexted, bash at advancing the same agenda.
In September 2020 he told the BBC that it was “common sense to move in the direction of digital IDs”.
The following year he said that the introduction of vaccine passports was now “inevitable” with the reopening of international travel.
Blair insisted: “Once vaccination really starts to be widespread, of course you’re going to ask for proof of what the vaccination status is.
“Therefore it’s best to start now on trying to devise common standards and if you start to do this on a vast scale, you’re going to need the technology that allows you to do it digitally”.
The anniversary of Julian Assange’s freedom and reunion with his family, WikiLeaks posted this 2 min video of very moving pictures.
Watch; I pled guilty to journalism; Julian Assange, WikiLeaks, 24 June 2025
One year ago today, Julian Assange began his 48-hour journey to freedom, leaving Belmarsh prison in the United Kingdom and boarding a jet bound for Australia via the remote U.S. island of Saipan. “365 days have passed, but we are light years away from Belmarsh prison. To all the supporters who helped make this possible — there are no words to express how grateful we are to have Julian free.” – Stella Assange
Julian Assange; “I want to be totally clear. I am not free today because the system worked. I am free today after years of incarceration because I plead guilty to journalism. Like so many of the efforts made in my case, whether they were from parliamentarians, presidents, prime ministers, the Pope, UN officials and diplomats, unions, legal and medical professionals, academics, activists or citizens, none of them could have been necessary. But all of them were necessary because without them, I never would have seen the light of day. I eventually chose freedom over unrealisable justice after being detained for years and facing 175-year sentence with no effective remedy. Journalism is not a crime, it is a pillar of a free and informed society. Let us all commit to doing our part to ensure that the light of freedom never dims, that the pursuit of truth will live on and that the voices of the many are not silenced by the interests of the few.”
Reiner Fuellmich is a hero, like Julian Assange, persecuted to silence his past and present success at exposing the lies of big banks and big pharma.
Read; THE FULL STORY OF DR. REINER FUELLMICH; by Seba Terribilini, 13 June 2025
‘Well-known attorney Dr. Reiner Fuellmich is being detained under terrible conditions for reasons that have nothing to do with what he is accused of. He had the courage to speak out on the truth about the so-called pandemic and is now paying for it. He is, without any doubt, a political prisoner! I will give you an overview of the situation, but to start with, let me briefly summarise who Dr. Reiner Fuellmich is. Dr. Reiner Fuellmich, 67, has been a trial lawyer in Germany and California for about 30 years, defending consumers and small and medium-sized enterprises against large corporations. He undertook important lawsuits against Deutsche Bank (for which Dr. Fuellmich himself worked, and which he defined as “one of the largest criminal organisations”), against Kühne & Nagel and Volkswagen (over the diesel issue). Interestingly, Volkswagen’s second largest shareholder is none other than the state of Lower Saxony, where the trial against Dr. Reiner Fuellmich took place and where he is currently being held.
During the lockdowns in 2020, Fuellmich and his wife were in their ranch in California, but as the situation appeared to them to be quite strange, they decided to return home to Germany to find out what was really going on. Fuellmich soon recognised the crimes against humanity in connection with the so-called pandemic and on July 10, 2020, together with three other lawyers, Viviane Fischer, Antonia Fischer, and Justus Hoffmann, he created the “CORONA INVESTIGATIVE COMMITTEE” in Berlin, whose aim was to shed light on the actions of governments, institutions, and the medical community. The main questions Fuellmich sought answers to were: – How dangerous is this virus? – How reliable is the PCR test ‘revised’ by Drosten? – What damage is being caused to the world’s economy by the lockdowns? Fuellmich conducted a vast series of interviews (approx. 400) and consulted more than 150 scientists and experts from around the world in the medical field. such as: – Nobel Prize winner Dr. Luc Montagnier, – renowned American cardiologist and epidemiologist Dr. Peter McCullough – Dr. Mike Yeadon (former vice president of Pfizer) – Dr. Judy Mikovits (scientist) – Dr. Robert Malone (American biochemist and pioneer of mRNA technology) – Dr. Roger Hodkinson (forensic pathologist) – Dr. Arne Burkhardt (forensic pathologist, who led a large group of pathologists in conducting a study based on autopsies of vaccinated people) – Dr. Astrid Stückelberger (scientist and researcher) – Dr. Simone Gold (founder of America’s Frontline Doctors) – Dr. Antonietta Gatti (scientist) – Dr. Mattias Desmet (psychologist) -Dr. Tess Lawrie (guideline methodologist) and many others.
He also consulted financial experts, historians, investigative journalists, and writers, such as: – Ernst Wolff (writer, journalist, and financial expert) – James Corbett (writer and investigative journalist) – Matthew Ehret (writer and journalist) – David Icke (writer and journalist) – Naomi Wolf (journalist, writer, and US political consultant) Fuellmich also interviewed other highly influential people, such as: – Vera Sharav (Holocaust survivor and human rights activist) – Catherine Austin Fitts (former US Assistant Secretary for Housing and Urban Development and finance expert) – Calin Georgescu (former high-ranking member of the United Nations) – Monsignor Carlo Maria Viganò (Archbishop) – Pascal Najadi (former Swiss banker and current film producer who denounced Swiss President Alain Berset) and many, many others.
His investigations led him to conclude that the “C-19 emergency” was never about public health, as there was no pandemic. If anything, it was a “PCR test pandemic.” It was precisely thanks to these PCR tests, which generated over 95% false positives, that it was possible to inflate the number of COVID “cases”, thus justifying the measures taken to face the “emergency”. According to Fuellmich, this was the fundamental point on which allegations of intentional wrongdoing by the governments of most countries in the world could be based. Furthermore, according to Fuellmich, all governments have acted and are acting against the interests of their citizens and are clearly under the control of large multinational corporations and NGOs, which Fuellmich henceforth referred to as “Mr. Global.” – a moniker devised by Catherine Austin Fitts. “Mr. Global has committed and is still committing, without a shadow of a doubt, the greatest crime against humanity”. ‘The background, his persecution, the abuse he is subject to and his scandalous conviction.’

Watch; Instagram page taken down; Tadhg Hickey Changed My Life, 26 May 2025
Tadhg Hickey; “Hi guys, bit of an interesting development there. This morning my main Instagram page has been taken down. No warnings, nothing like that. There was a kind of a pro-Palestine purge again last night on Meta. Nobody received any warnings, just like lots of pages taken down. My own page had about 300,000 followers and hundreds of millions of views on the video. So you can make up your own mind as to why it was taken down. Now it’s a little bit frustrating and I tell you the main reason why it is because anybody who knows my account, I used to use the collaboration feature quite freely. So I was blessed enough to be able to help a variety of Palestinian causes, initiatives and fundraisers around the world. So that’s been taken away from me now and from the community as well, again, with no real route to recourse because the appeal system is just automated, which I think is actually illegal. And anybody who’s familiar with the appeal system on Instagram would know that you lose all your appeals. So I’d say the account is gone. Anybody who could look into it for the sake of the community, that would be great. I’m not expecting anything. But I am left with the feeling, if you’re so right in your ideology and your viewpoint, why would you have to spend so much time and money and effort silencing any voices of dissent?”

Read; Trump’s Embrace of Dystopian Palantir Spying Tool Sends Stock Soaring by Kit Klarenberg, the Grayzone, 5 June 2025
‘During an end-of-year investor call this February, Palantir co-founder and militant zionist Alex Karp bragged that his company was making a financial killing by enabling mass murder. “Palantir is here to disrupt and make the institutions we partner with the very best in the world and, when it’s necessary, to scare enemies,” he stated, adding, “and on occasion kill them.” On this front, Karp claimed Palantir was “crushing it,” and he professed to be “super-proud of the role we play, especially in places we can’t talk about.” Karp went on to predict social “disruption” ahead that would be “very good for Palantir.” “There’s a revolution. Some people are going to get their heads cut off,” he warned, suggesting that his firm was producing the most vital technology enabling elites to restore control during the coming unrest. Palantir is already playing a decisive role in the besieged Gaza Strip, where its products assist Israel’s application of a ferocious AI targeting system known as Lavender which directs its ongoing genocide. In the face of public protest, Karp has acknowledged that he is directly involved in killing Palestinians in Gaza, but insisted the dead were “mostly terrorists.”
At the start of January, the overtly pro-Israeli firm’s board of directors gathered in Tel Aviv for its first meeting of the new year. Since then, its financial fortunes have improved dramatically. Throughout May, Palantir’s stock exploded, making it the S&P 500’s top-performing company. On June 2, Palantir’s share price hit an all-time high, a year-on-year jump of 512%, turbocharging the company’s market value to roughly $311 billion. Driving this abrupt burst of investor exuberance was a welter of lucrative deals signed with multiple US government agencies since Donald Trump took office, and the expectation Palantir will ink further contracts in the future.’
‘The important thing that I realised during COVID is that there’s a global system of control that’s happening in the world. …… People want to say it’s Fauci, it’s Bill Gates, it’s Pfizer, and all of those people and entities are components of the giant global cartel, and they’re all striving for that cartel to have more power and more influence. And in order to do that, they need to censor us, propagandise us, surveil us and control us.’
Listen; Covid-19 Was a Military Psy-op; UK Column News, 5 June 2025
Debbie Lerman; “I first realised that everyone knew the virus wasn’t dangerous because I had checked in January and February, I had looked at the statistics, I had looked at who was dying and who wasn’t. Nobody was dying. It wasn’t dangerous. It was like all the other outbreaks like MERS and SARS and whatever, you get little outbreaks, you treat them and you move on. And that’s what had always been done. And I assumed that that’s what was going to be done, so I really wasn’t worried. And then when they started locking down the whole world and doing all of that, and everybody was completely terrified and using masks that we had known before March 2020, everybody in the medical world knows that masks don’t work against airborne viruses, everybody knows it, but the propaganda was so strong, I actually kind of had a nervous breakdown because everybody I knew who I thought was really smart and educated was falling for this like crazy garbage. And that’s what really started me trying to figure out what was going on. And then I realised as I was investigating it that it wasn’t just about the pharmaceutical or the public health corruption which are part of it. It was a giant network, which I call Global Public Private Partnership. I didn’t invent that, other people have talked about that, but an easier way to say it is a global crime cartel. That’s the new way that I’ve decided to talk about it because it’s easier to say, but it’s a global conglomeration of public and private entities that are all like just like a big monster that needs to be fed. And it is the military and intelligence agencies, it is the military industrial complex, which includes the military and the intelligence agencies, that includes Wall Street, it includes Silicon Valley, so those are all of the components of the military-industrial complex. And then it also includes all of the NGOs, it includes the academic institutions, the journals, the international banking system. It’s a giant cartel. So the important thing that I realised during COVID is that there’s a global system of control that’s happening in the world. It sounds so weird and so conspiratorial, it’s hard to wrap one’s mind around, and I totally get it, and I have been working hard and I’m still working to find the best ways to explain that because people want to say it’s Fauci, people want to say it’s Bill Gates, people want to say, it’s Pfizer, and all of those people and entities are components of the giant global cartel, and they’re all striving for that cartel to have more power and more influence. And in order to do that, they need to censor us, propagandise us, surveil us and control us. That’s what they need to do, and so what COVID revealed was the systems that they were using to do that. So the digital systems, the propaganda and censorship industrial complex, which is a global, as you said, world encompassing. How did everybody come up with the same words at the same time? How did everybody come up with the same narrative at the same time? Obviously there was coordination. That’s not a conspiracy, that’s a fact. So the important thing to realise now is that this system is rolling forward to get more control. So no matter what happens on a local political level, you might change a few things on the surface level that you think are important, and that’s fine, but you are not addressing the rolling constant, we haven’t stopped it, it hasn’t slowed down. In fact, it uses each voting cycle and each administration to convince half the population that now you don’t have to worry about the cartel, now the cartel isn’t really doing anything, now we’re going to save you and we’re going to make everything fine. And the cartel is just moving on and doing its thing. So what I try to do is point out that no matter who’s in charge, even if you feel more politically affiliated with one side or the other, they’re actually using that in order to distract you from what’s happening on a global level. It’s all in my book, which is called The Deep State Goes Viral.”
Read or listen; The Deep State Goes Viral Pandemic Planning and the Covid Coup: Brownstone Institute 7 minutes. 12 May 2025
‘Even when it became eminently clear that the virus posed little to no threat to children, they insisted that kids had to stay inside (the absolute worst thing I could imagine for a child) and wear masks. Then, when vaccine mandates were rolled out, even when it became indisputable that the vaccines did not stop infection or transmission, people turned vicious. “The unvaccinated” became a category of undesirable outcasts not allowed to participate in society. I found the irrational cruelty of people who considered themselves moral and compassionate to be downright terrifying.
The main cause of that irrational reaction was equally spine-chilling: a massive, global censorship and propaganda campaign undertaken by the entire online and traditional media apparatus. It was so gigantic that most people could not – and still do not – believe it could happen.
Due to that unprecedented narrative-control campaign, barely anyone was investigating what actually happened.
So I decided to do just that, and what I discovered was astonishing.
I discovered that the US Covid pandemic response was not a public health response run by the HHS, CDC or any other public health body. Instead, it was a biodefense/counter-terrorism response, run by the Pentagon, National Security Council, and Department of Homeland Security.
When I continued to dig, I found that the same pattern was followed in many countries around the world. The pandemic response, according to all available evidence, was implemented according to globally planned and directed protocols.
None of this has been reported in the corporate media, and even in independent media spaces, very few have investigated or reported on these topics.
Why does it matter? You might ask. So what if the pandemic response was run by national security agencies according to a biodefense/counterterrorism playbook, rather than by public health agencies according to public health guidelines? And why is it surprising that most countries responded in similar ways?
Put simply, if it had been a regular public health response, Covid would not have differed from any of the viral epidemics or pandemics of the last century: The public would have been told to remain calm, wash hands frequently, and stay home if sick. Public health agencies would have tracked clusters of severe disease and treated them accordingly. This would have happened at different times, in different locations. Most people would barely have been aware that there was a novel virus circulating among them.
Instead, the response to Covid was the exact opposite: The media and public health agencies whipped the population into levels of panic massively disproportionate to the threat actually posed by the virus. Everyone was convinced that the only way to “beat the virus” was to lock down the whole world and wait for a never-before-tested or manufactured vaccine.
This book presents my attempt to understand why and how that switch happened: from a rational, medically, and ethically sound pandemic response to a global military-style lockdown-until-vaccine nightmare.’
Starmer takes up the lies-to-war banner from Cameron and Blair. ‘This is about the British elite’s promotion of its own agenda in the world, which is actually they’re very comfortable with fighting wars. We have to remember that this is the foremost war-mongering state in the world. Over the last 200 years we’ve invaded more countries than anyone else and even since 1945’.
Watch; Starmer Bangs Drums Of War In Speech At Arms Factory; Novara Media, 2 June 2025
Mark Curtis, Declassified UK; “If Keir Starmer’s talking about placing Britain on a war fighting footing, which is basically what he said, that raises a whole load of concerns about what this government is actually planning to do. Over the last few months there’s been all sorts of mentions by Britain’s military figures or intimations that they’re preparing for a war with Russia. So what are we meant to conclude now that Keir Starmer is talking openly about war footing? My view is that from what we do know about this so-called strategic defence review is that it’s certainly not strategic. It’s actually not about defence, it’s not even a review because it’s not strategic, because it’s not actually about the public security needs of the UK. It’s about the geopolitical strategy of the British elite. It’s not about defence, it’s about offence. It seems to be about spending more money on more offensive military equipment to fight more wars. And it’s certainly not a review because the government announced many months ago that certain things were completely off the agenda anyway of the so-called review. It’s important to make the distinction between what would constitute an actual defence policy and what we currently have. What we currently have is a huge array of military spending that is actually about fighting wars. Six billion pounds has gone on these two new aircraft carriers, described as vulnerable metal cans by former head of the UK military. We’re spending billions on a new generation of attack warplanes with up to £200 billion being spent on the Trident nuclear weapons system over the next 30 years. These don’t provide security. This is about the British elite’s promotion of its own agenda in the world, which is actually they’re very comfortable with fighting wars. We have to remember that this is the foremost war-mongering state in the world. Over the last 200 years we’ve invaded more countries than anyone else and even since 1945. I did a piece of research with Declassified a few months ago showing that Britain has intervened on 80 occasions since 1945 in dozens of countries. So the British elite likes fighting wars and they like doing it because it’s good for the arms companies, it’s good for their geopolitical interests. They just have to get the public to back them, and they do that by generating support among their mates in the media. And that happens all the time, and it’s happening now. If you look at the way the media are writing up this strategic defence review, they’re just writing up MOD press releases from what I’ve seen so far. I also think we have to be careful about taking on board too much of their arguments as to why we are increasing military spending. Is it really the case that there are rising threats to Britain of a military nature? OK, so the government wants to say to us that Vladimir Putin is going to eat our children and invade the Shetland Islands, that’s basically what they’re telling us. But this is frankly ridiculous. The war in Ukraine was undoubtedly provoked partly by NATO and US and British policy. That doesn’t excuse what Russia did, what it did in crossing the international borders of Ukraine was totally criminal. It’s bombardment of Ukrainian cities has been barbaric and it’s committed war crimes. But to put all of the fault of this war onto Moscow is not an accurate reading of what’s gone on over the last few years. And there’s now a legion of evidence showing that that war in Europe was partly at least the result of NATO provocations over a period of several decades, of NATO reneging on on assurances that were made to Russia about not expanding up to Russia’s borders, not basing military equipment and military forces in a country up to Russia’s borders. So there’s all sorts of reasons why we’re now in that mess in Central Europe, the Ukrainian people are paying the price for. It’s not only Russia’s fault, it’s also the fault of the same kind of rhetoric and the same kind of policies that we’re now seeing from Starmer in this new policy that’s been announced today.”
Trump’s latest scam, force EU countries to buy weapons from the US.
Listen; US dominates European weapons purchases; UK Column News, 27 June 2025
Patrick Henningsen; “The main part of this conference was to drum up pressure and support by the United States to get Europe to pay its fair share, to pay for its defence. So what Trump is doing is getting them to spend 5% of GDP and spend it with Uncle Sam or most of it. That’s a huge payday, a huge payday for the Americans. So what are we looking at here? Turkey backs NATO’s 5% defence goal here, planning a nationwide air shield, Turkey’s planning to prioritise its steel Dome project. So not to be outdone by the Iron Dome in Israel, Erdogan wants a steel Dome. What are we looking at here? Every country saying the same thing. Golden Dome, Iron Dome, Steel Dome, we’re looking at an arms race, that’s exactly what we’re looking at here. Take a look at the coercion and bring this up on screen. ‘Trump says Spain will pay more in trade (tariffs) after the refusal to meet NATO’s defence spending targets’. So NATO is determining what governments spend, and if you don’t comply, Trump will hit you with punitive tariffs. This is outrageous. Everyone in Brussels should be railing against this. This is the United States imposing budgetary spending, NATO is directing European economic and political affairs.
But let’s look at the reality in the EU, why countries will not meet their 5% spending. And here’s the first one, ‘the EU 0% GDP growth projections and a recession’. So that’s 5% of a smaller GDP and we’ll go here, ‘state budget constraints require new laws’, so in some cases there might be constitutional amendments required for this as well. And the deficit spending is hurting EU states’ credit ratings. And we’ll go on, ‘government forced to bring in austerity measures’ as a result of this and ‘privatisation, more cuts in public and social services’. So that’s what it looks like and voter backlash is coming, and they’re not interested in a war with Russia.”
‘The US Department of Defense has the goal of “always having robots, not soldiers, make first contact with the enemy.” Robotic systems are being developed to perform everything from surveillance to killing. With an army of autonomous slaughterbots, there is no longer a concern of ethics.’
Read; AI Control of the US Military by Greg Reese, 11 June 2025
‘In the military, a “kill chain” refers to the sequential process of finding, fixing, tracking, targeting, engaging, and assessing a target. And the US military war machine has found that humans are not as willing to kill as much as they’d like them to. After World War II, studies conducted by Brigadier General S.L.A. Marshall showed that only 20% of U.S. infantrymen fired their weapons at the enemy, even when under direct threat. He attributed this to an innate human resistance to killing. He wrote in his book, Men Against Fire, that “the average and healthy individual has such an inner and usually unrealised resistance towards killing a fellow man that…at the vital point he becomes a conscientious objector.” This led to changes in U.S. military training, such as, human-shaped silhouette targets and dehumanisation of the enemy.
In 1996, The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, showed that increasing the kill rate in US infantrymen came with psychological costs due to the guilt and trauma of killing. The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health in 2011 showed that soldiers who believed they killed someone in combat were at higher risk of PTSD, depression, and suicidal thoughts. It is for these reasons that the IDF, with the help of the US military and Palantir, have been utilising Artificial Intelligence on the battlefield. Destroying an entire building to kill one person may seem extreme for a human, but not for AI. It is admitted that the AI targeting system murders innocent civilians 10% of the time, and AI is not bothered one bit.
The Golden Dome that President Trump announced will rely upon AI-driven tracking and interceptors. And lethal autonomous weapons are next. The Bullfrog M2 is an autonomous .50 caliber machine gun developed for the US military. It detects, tracks, identifies, and acquires targets autonomously. Last year, DARPA released footage of Artificial Intelligence autonomously flying an F-16, known as the X-62A, against a human-piloted F-16. Known as the founder of Oculus VR, Palmer Luckey is the latest harmless looking front-man for the military industrial complex. In 2017, Luckey founded Anduril Industries, a military technology company focused on autonomous military weapons systems. The US Department of Defense has the goal of “always having robots, not soldiers, make first contact with the enemy.” Robotic systems are being developed to perform everything from surveillance to killing. With an army of autonomous slaughterbots, there is no longer a concern of ethics. If a government wanted to unleash them against their own people, they will have no problem following those orders.’
I have been introduced to a brilliant truth seeking podcast, The Truth Contract, run by David CM Carter whose interview is excellent
Watch; Britain is at a crossroads; David CM Carter joins Jim Ferguson; The Truth Contract, 18 June 2025
‘In this timely and urgent conversation, David CM Carter, co-founder of The Truth Contract, speaks plainly about where we are, how we got here, and what must happen next.
Formerly an investment banker, global venture capitalist, and advisor to leaders around the world, David has spent decades inside the systems now failing the public. From his vantage point, the message is clear:
“There is a war on your mind, your autonomy, and your sovereignty.
We are governed by a system that no longer serves, and you’re not being told the truth.”
David doesn’t bring problems without proposals. In this interview, he outlines:
– Why Britain is in an existential crisis, and what that really means
– A call for a referendum to return power to the people
– Why direct democracy is not radical, but necessary
– The parts of government that must be dismantled to reclaim sovereignty
– The deeper cultural and psychological battle we’re facing, and how to meet it with clarity, courage, and action
This isn’t about politics. It’s about principles, and what comes next.’

‘Breaking this silence is crucial in resisting propaganda and emerging totalitarianism.’
Watch; Some truths about ‘speaking truth; Mattias Desmet: Psychology and Totalitarianism, The Truth Contract, 7 May 2025
‘Mattias Desmet is a Belgian clinical psychologist and Professor of Clinical Psychology at Ghent University. He holds a PhD in psychological sciences and a Masters in Statistics, specialising in psychoanalysis. Desmet gained international attention for the theory of ‘mass formation’, detailed in his 2022 book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism which examines societal conditions that he says can lead to collective psychosis and totalitarianism.
He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers and received awards like the 2018 Evidence-Based Psychoanalytic Case Study Prize. A practicing psychoanalytic psychotherapist, Desmet’s views on COVID-19 measures sparked debates and have led to many appearances on prominent platforms, including The Joe Rogan Experience.
Some of the questions we explore include:
– What conditions lead ordinary people to abandon reason – and embrace tyranny?
– How can sincere speech counter propaganda and resist totalitarianism in a brainwashed society
– Why do 60-65% stay silent despite sensing flawed narratives, and how do we inspire action?
– Is the broken social contract in Britain fixable through evidence-based, open debate?
– Can communities built on honest opinions and diverse views prevent a transhumanist future?Introductions – and rationale behind The Truth Contract. Antidote to contradictory information from different sources.
00:02 – 00:05 The dissatisfaction of British people in surveys – can we tell what the truth is anymore? Why have we been brainwashed and what can we do about it? 00:05 – 00:12 Matthias Desmet’s background in clinical psychology and statistics and study of academic research failures and totalitarianism. Early unease about Coronavirus crisis. 00:12 – 00:17 Different people buy into narratives for different reasons. The aim appears to be a transhumanist future involving mastery over the chaos of the world and a move towards more globalist modes of government. 00:17 – 00:21 Small groups have always sought to control larger groups. Is this simply the latest iteration of that phenomenon? Lust for power as part of the human condition. The warnings of Hannah Arendt about technocratic fascism. Many scientists understand that life is not rational in nature. Rationalists are fanatical about their project/s and many are willing to follow them. 00:21 – 00:23 The social contract in Britain has been broken. Keir Starmer’s links to Davos. How many people are actually willing to involve themselves in a solution? 00:23 – 00:29 20-30% of people believe propaganda even when it’s absurd. About 60-65% sense something wrong with the narrative but remain silent. A small group, 2 – 10%, recognises the flaws and speaks out, potentially driving societal change. Breaking this silence is crucial in resisting propaganda and emerging totalitarianism. Discussion of the contrast between classical dictatorships, where silence may be wise, with modern totalitarianism driven by fanatical ideology. 00:29 – 00:34 A personal story about what is taught in school about CO2 levels. How to convince the silent 65% to reconsider long-held narratives? A warning that AI could become a powerful propaganda tool. There is an enormous challenge in knowing what’s true in an era of pervasive narratives. 00:34 – 00:40 The importance of recognising when narratives – such as the ‘climate change’ narrative – feel wrong, even without knowing the full truth. Need for communities where people freely express honest opinions, maintain slight uncertainty, and listen to differing views to avoid fanaticism. Fanatical belief in possessing the truth leads to totalitarianism. The Truth Contract community as a place where opinions must be backed by scientific evidence, not ideology. Science is never settled, encouraging open debate always needed based on facts. 00:40 – 00:46 Honest speech is vital in resisting totalitarianism. Communities must embrace diverse opinions to avoid propaganda-driven conformity. Gandhi’s nonviolent truth-speaking as an example. Success of ‘mass formation’ in silencing dissent through fear. 00:46 – 00:52 How ‘mass formation’ silences dissent despite widespread dissatisfaction shown in polls. How complex systems like the Corona crisis fuel polarisation and atomisation, disconnecting people. Sincere speech and truth-telling are vital to reconnect individuals, forming cohesive communities that resist totalitarianism’s isolating collectivism. 00:52 – 00:54 Importance of collective action, open debate, and evidence-based discussions. Reminder of Margaret Mead’s quote about small groups driving change. The vision is rooted in improving lives universally through shared energy and a commitment to humanity, rather than enriching a small elite. 00:54 – 01:10 Work of Professor Desmet on truth psychology, mass formation, and totalitarianism aligned with The Truth Contract goals. Need to practice ‘sincere speech’ daily in Samurai tradition to resist propaganda and foster ethical relationships. Likelihood that totalitarianism will self-destruct, but sincere speech is crucial to prevent societal harm first. Historical empires that collapsed due to excess – and hope in a 5% group inspiring the fearful 60% to act. The 20 non-political, common-sense issues (e.g., stopping pollution) that The Truth Contract will research first to unite people. Warnings against using propaganda to counter propaganda. Sincerity as the only remedy. Enlightenment rationalism disconnected people from truth, making them vulnerable to propaganda. Sincere speech rebuilds relationships, countering the dehumanising aspects of totalitarianism. 01:10 – 01:16 Unanimous agreement among those registering with The Truth Contract that the social contract is broken, requiring a new system. Need to listen lovingly and speak sincerely to unite people, despite varied political views, to solve shared problems. Sincere listening as vital, like sincere speech, to overcoming ego and suspending judgment to truly understand others. Both skills are necessary for rebuilding relationships and countering propaganda’s divisive effects. Vision of The Truth Contract to unite a million UK citizens to create a better system supported by the 65% who seek change. Mission is to counteract years of brainwashing by fostering honest communication and faith in the majority’s power to overcome a propagandising elite, preventing totalitarianism through community and sincerity. 01:16 – 01:21 We end with an expression of faith in the resilience of humanity against totalitarianism. A brave minority is able to drive change, as Nietzsche noted with the Renaissance. Professor Desmet emphasises sincere, vulnerable speech as the key to overcoming propaganda.’
The government security strategy report out today might have some clues as to the direction the Deep State is cooking up for us hapless mortals. You can see in the 1st short clip below, the lies it spins about Iran’s ‘aggressive activities’ when Iran has done nothing but help resist Israel’s and the West’s wars, not only in Palestine but in all West Asian countries that dare challenge coups, wars and genocide to secure their oil resources to grow our trans human world.
Renewable energy is another drive toward growth and alleged energy security in a world that increasingly we are fighting.
Read; National Security Strategy 2025: Security for the British People in a Dangerous World Cabinet Office, 24 June 2025
15. ‘We have seen direct military conflict between Israel and Iran. This follows years of aggressive and destabilising activity by the Iranian regime which has included activity specifically targeted against UK interests at home and overseas. Significant escalation in any of these theatres would have a profoundly negative impact on our energy security, the cost of living and our ability to grow our economy.
25. Our energy security is vital to our national security, economic stability, the delivery of essential services and our ability to fuel new technological developments in fields such as AI. We are moving away from imported fossil fuels and towards electricity produced at home and by our allies. We have banned the import of oil or gas from Russia and are building a global uranium nuclear supply chain that is entirely free from Russian influence. We have also lifted the ban on onshore wind, consented to record amounts of solar power projects and continue to innovate and invest in other sources of renewable energy. Reducing energy prices remains a vital part of ensuring our nation’s ability to innovate and grow our economy. Alongside action to shore up our domestic energy security, we will work internationally to address the climate and nature crisis and the risks it poses to our national security, financial stability and green growth at home. Our Global Clean Power Alliance will maintain international momentum behind the transition to clean power, drive investment in emerging markets and developing economies, and enhance the resilience of clean energy supply chains, including for the UK. With partners, we are working to reform the global financial system so that it delivers the finance needed to tackle such global challenges.’
“We now have billionaires who have endless money, and because they have endless money, they can buy politicians, they have their own banks, they have tremendous power, arguably more power than a monarch would have. They couldn’t get enough immigrants into America to work in factories and on railroads fast enough, and they saw women as this huge pool of very cheap, easy labour; they’re already here, we don’t have to pay them as much as men, and if we can get all these women out of the home and into the factory, we can also tax their income. So we double our income tax revenue overnight.”
Listen; Women’s Liberation Enslaved Women UK Column News, 9 June 2025
Rachel Wilson, Author; “Here in the West, women’s suffrage all came about kind of around the same time, Australia, the UK, America, around 1920 we start to see the passage of women’s suffrage. And in the United States you have the creation of the central banking and you have the income tax, all passed right around the same time. And then there’s another thing that passed around the same time, which was compulsory public education. So this was a giant project. And you don’t have to believe me, the source material is the people themselves writing and telling you that they did this and why they did this. You can go to the Rockefeller family archives and read about it. You can go to the Vanderbilt archives and read about it. What happened was we had this crop of new wealthy industrialists from the 19th century who built railroads and built a lot of the infrastructure in America, factories, and became incredibly wealthy in a way that we really hadn’t seen in the world before, where it’s not just a king or a politician who has this tremendous power, we now have billionaires who have endless money, and because they have endless money, they can buy politicians, they have their own banks, they have tremendous power, arguably more power than a monarch would have. What these guys wanted and needed, they couldn’t get enough immigrants into America to work in factories and on railroads fast enough, and they saw women as this huge pool of very cheap, easy labour. They’re already here, we don’t have to pay them as much as men, and if we can get all these women out of the home and into the factory, we can also tax their income. So we double our income tax revenue overnight. And if the mothers are not at home, the children have to go somewhere, so we’ll create this public education system. There’s a whole video on my YouTube about the founding of the American public school system and how it’s based on the Prussian military model, which was meant to create good soldiers and good factory workers. That’s why we have bells, you know, at the beginning, bell at the end, a bell to leave class, a bell to start class. It’s actually a Pavlovian mechanism to train you to do what you’re supposed to do. Public school was never about creating these kids who could critically think about the world and solve problems and be innovators. It was literally created to make good little cogs in a wheel who are going to do what the state tells them to do and follow the narrative and follow the programming. That’s what it’s there for. So all day while mom and dad are at work making these people money and making the government all this new income revenue, the income tax revenue, the children are going to be educated by the state with the values of the state and whatever the state wants them to have and believe. And that’s exactly what we did. Then in 1970, the Ford Foundation, with some help from Rockefeller and some others, created Women’s Studies. And what happened in 1970 when they created Women’s Studies as a discipline? They gave huge grants to multiple big universities to create a gender studies programme. We see this huge dissemination of propaganda telling women to go to work. 1970 was a huge year for this because not only the creation of gender studies, but also the founding of Miss magazine by Gloria Steinem and the CIA, it’s a CIA-funded magazine. It was part of a much broader propaganda programme. The CIA had to tell women that the home life was oppressive, that they need to have a career, that they need to have a college education, otherwise you’re not informed, you are ignorant, you will never do anything with your life and you are just a slave. And then we see this massive amount of propaganda come out. So in the 70s you had a ton of movies and TV shows like Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Stepford Wives, all this propaganda convincing women that being a housewife, being a mother is this oppressive, boring, stuffy, awful thing, you could be out having 5 boyfriends and doing cocaine, why do you want to be at home? You could be the fancy business woman and have an exciting life in the city where you’re working, but you’re in the suburbs and you’re bored and it’s unfulfilling. And it’s really created this view that women did not have. If you look at what women were saying 50 years before that, none of them felt this way. There was never this idea that the family life was a oppressive drudgery, it was this horrible, boring, awful thing that women were just forced to do because they weren’t allowed to do anything else. I have an interview with my 99 year old grandmother on my channel asking her, being born in 1926, growing up in the 30s and the 40s, what it was like for her and her friends, and I asked her, did you guys ever have this sense that you were oppressed or that you didn’t have options? Did you feel like you were just going to be stuck at home bored and you had to get married and have all these kids? And she thought it was crazy. She was like, no, we never felt like that, we never did. That wasn’t even a topic that ever came up among her and her sisters and her friends.”
‘In this way, truth stands in opposition to tyranny, and its presence in society is contingent on the degree of freedom permitted.’
Read; Post-truth Incidence, Part 1: The Ubiquity of ‘Post-truth by Prof. Gloria Moss; UK Column, 22 June 2025
‘In this series of three articles, the focus will be on the incidence of ‘post-truth’ in the three sectors of (a) science and medicine, (b) education, and (c) the legal system in Britain. We will start here with a look at science and medicine.
In 2016, The Oxford English Dictionary named post-truth as the Word of the Year. Its meaning? They give it as “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief”. The phrase has been used by establishment sources to debunk alternative narratives, for example when The Economist in 2016 dubbed the claim that Barack Obama’s birth certificate was faked as “post-truth politics”. It has also been used by Yuval Harari to depict his picture of humans as a “post-truth species” and to assert that only “post-truth, and not truth, can co-exist with power”.
In reality, the situation is not as black and white as Harari suggests. According to the Frankfurt School philosopher Max Horkheimer’s book Eclipse of Reason (1947), subjective and instrumental rationality, both elements of ‘post-truth’, are born of a fascistic society. By contrast, what he terms “objective reality” has its roots in a context of free critical thinking, grounded in a commitment to human emancipation and the pursuit of a more just society. In this way, truth stands in opposition to tyranny, and its presence in society is contingent on the degree of freedom permitted.
The association between post-truth and tyranny is well exemplified by George Orwell’s 1949 novel 1984, in which O’Brien, the high-ranking member of INGSOC, the English Socialist party ruling Oceania, asserts that sometimes 2+2 equals 5, sometimes 3, and sometimes “all of them at once”. Indeed, one of INGSOC’s three slogans is the notorious “Ignorance is strength”. Yes, this is fiction, but as Walter Besant and Henry James expressed in an 1884 magazine article and lecture ‘The Art of Fiction‘, a novel is “a direct impression of life”, a view echoing Aristotle’s notion of mimesis that appears in his work Poetics, advising writers on the art of creating fiction.’
Covid / Vaccines Scam
‘The public is waking up to the rot at the core of this system—and nothing terrifies a corrupt establishment more than an audience that can’t be bought. So the next time you see some white-coated “expert” foaming at the mouth over RFK’s purge, ask yourself: Who owns them? The answer won’t be subtle—just follow the money. Stay sharp. Stay skeptical. And remember: When the chorus sings in perfect harmony, it’s not harmony—it’s coercion. The truth doesn’t need a script. And now? The script just got flipped. On June 11th, Kennedy named eight new advisers who actually put science over Pharma profits’
Read; RFK Jr. Purges CDC Vaccine Committee The Truth about Cancer, 13 June 2025
‘Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has taken decisive action against regulatory capture by dismissing all 17 members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory committee. This bold move represents a significant step toward restoring independence in vaccine policy decisions. His reasoning? Simple: You don’t “restore trust” by keeping the same Pharma-backed bureaucrats who’ve spent decades rubber-stamping every vaccine Big Pharma shoves at them. Who was on the ACIP committee? The geniuses who rubber-stamped injecting experimental mRNA cocktails into infants while dismissing parents’ concerns as “misinformation.” As Mike Adams (the Health Ranger) put it: “If I were HHS Secretary, I would solve the entire vaccine problem in one day. ‘You’re all FIRED!’ I would auction off the furniture, sell the buildings, pink-slip everybody on day one and return health decisions to the American people (and the states) instead of a bunch of corrupt pharma whores who profit from maiming and killing children. Problem solved. RFK pretty much just did that. NBC spun the news this way: “Manufactured chaos: Kennedy guts CDC’s vaccine panel of independent experts.” Let’s pause to appreciate NBC’s hilarious definition of “independent experts.” Apparently, “independent” now means “financially entangled with Big Pharma but still somehow magically unbiased.” But sure, NBC, tell us more about how Kennedy’s the one causing “manufactured chaos.” The only thing being gutted here is Pharma’s ability to treat the CDC like their own private focus group. But here’s where it gets hilariously suspicious… Within hours of RFK’s announcement, a swarm of blue-check “doctors” flooded social media with near-identical meltdowns:
“This is dangerous!”, “RFK is anti-science!”, “He’s gutting public health!”
Gee, I wonder if those keyboard warrior doctors are on Big Pharma’s payroll. How many zeroes did it take to turn them into corporate attack dogs? Hilarious how they ‘forgot’ to mention that many of their fired buddies on the ACIP committee were practically swimming in Merck, Pfizer, and Moderna cash. And what a coincidence—their outraged tweets all landed in the same four-hour window. Almost like… a coordinated Pharma meltdown. Weird, right? Let’s be clear: This was never about science. This was about a captured system rubber-stamping vaccines with less scrutiny than a TikTok dance trend, all while committee members lined their pockets with Pharma speaking fees, sat on corporate boards, and voted on products from their own financial partners. Now that RFK Jr. has derailed their gravy train, we’re witnessing something glorious: the vaccine-industrial complex having its mask-off meltdown moment—complete with coordinated media hysterics and the kind of tantrum usually reserved for toddlers who lost their juice box. The truth is simple: When “trusted institutions” suddenly start screaming in unison, it’s not consensus—it’s collusion. No, the backlash isn’t organic—it’s a scripted meltdown. And no, these suddenly outraged “experts” aren’t independent voices—they’re Pharma’s well-paid attack dogs, tweeting in eerie unison, their outrage timed like a synchronized PR campaign. Notice how none of them mention their own financial ties to Merck, Pfizer, or Moderna? Funny how that works. If RFK Jr. were truly wrong, they’d dismantle his arguments with facts, not hysterical tweets and canned outrage. But they won’t, because this isn’t What’s Next? The media will dutifully frame this as “RFK vs. Science,” carefully omitting the glaring conflicts of interest: ACIP members who personally enriched themselves from the vaccines they championed, the CDC’s patent portfolio on mandated shots, and the systematic silencing of independent scientists who dared to question the narrative. But the game is unraveling. The public is waking up to the rot at the core of this system—and nothing terrifies a corrupt establishment more than an audience that can’t be bought. So the next time you see some white-coated “expert” foaming at the mouth over RFK’s purge, ask yourself: Who owns them? The answer won’t be subtle—just follow the money. Stay sharp. Stay skeptical. And remember: When the chorus sings in perfect harmony, it’s not harmony—it’s coercion. The truth doesn’t need a script. And now? The script just got flipped. On June 11th, Kennedy named eight new advisers who actually put science over Pharma profits, including Vicky Pebsworth of the National Vaccine Information Center, a rare beacon of truth in a sea of bought-and-paid-for “experts.” Then there’s Dr. Martin Kulldorff, the epidemiologist who co-authored the Great Barrington Declaration and warned the world that lockdowns would cause more harm than COVID itself. And let’s not forget our friend Robert W Malone MD, MS , who rose to prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic as he was outspoken against the toxic mRNA jabs. We interviewed him in our film, “Propaganda Exposed.”
Dr. Mike Yeadon who was formerly vice president and chief scientific officer at Pfizer, warns that the Covid pandemic and the vaccines were all about control and eugenics.
Watch; “The design of these molecular structures in the vaccines… has no other purpose but to injure and kill.” Wide Awake Media, 31 May 2025
Dr Mike Yeadon; “So now I’m going to turn to something that probably of all the contributors only I can tell you, and that’s the design of these molecular structures in the vaccines, injections has no other purpose but to injure and kill. It’s a huge claim. I’ve worked over 30 years with colleagues in what’s called rational drug design. Every synthetic medicine that is something not purified from nature, consists of a series of atoms and molecules and formulations. Every single component in that vial, as it turns out, has to be chosen by a person. They’re not there randomly, they’re not there as a natural product. Someone decided to put them in there and you put them in there because you have particular objectives for the drug to be absorbed quickly or slowly, for it to last a long time or not to go everywhere versus a certain area of the body and so on. When I looked at these, I declare them toxic by design. They are intentionally harmful. Now, I think that fits perfectly with the lie you’ve been told about a pandemic. The purpose of the pandemic I think was to damage the economy, to get us used to doing what we’re told under a mock emergency and to roll up our sleeves to receive these dangerous materials, and I believe in short, if you do nothing and don’t speak up and do what you’re told, you will lose your freedom and then your life. I think some self appointed group of very rich people have decided they don’t like 8 billion people being on the planet and want it to be a much smaller number. I don’t have a copy of the script, but I can deduce what they’re doing. So given the warning I’ve provided to you, I suggest that you you get weaving and start talking to anyone and everyone and do so relentlessly because this is not going away. And if we do not protest, if we do not refuse and fight back, we will lose freedom first and then our lives.”
‘The more doses you get, the sooner you’re likely to die, within a shorter period’.
Read; Japan Releases Bombshell Vax vs. Unvax Data on 18 Million People The Vigilant Fox, 17 June 2025
‘Japan Releases Bombshell Vax vs. Unvax Data on 18m people. Dr. Murakami’s conclusion was blunt: “the more doses you get, the sooner you’re likely to die, within a shorter period” Dr Murakami is the deputy director of RNA research at Tokyo University.’
‘A COVID vaccine database covering 18 million citizens has just been released for the first time. After reviewing the data, a top professor warned: “The more doses you get, the sooner you’re likely to die.” The most terrifying finding was a deadly spike just 3 to 4 months after the final shot. Let’s break down the data. On June 15th, a group of brave Japanese truth seekers did what their government wouldn’t—they released a bombshell broadcast exposing vaccine data from over 18 million people. Journalist Masako Ganaha posted on X: “If the government won’t do it, then the people should investigate the mass deaths of Japanese people! Database of 18 million vaccinated people revealed for the first time!” The video featured Member of the House of Representatives Kazuhiro Haraguchi, Dr. Yasufumi Murakami, and the Information Disclosure Request Team. Dr. Yasufumi Murakami isn’t just some fringe voice. He’s a respected professor at the Tokyo University of Science, where he serves as vice director at the Research Center for RNA Science. He holds a Doctor of Pharmaceutical Science from the University of Tokyo and has authored over 100 scientific publications. But when the data went public, things got deeply unsettling. Pharma insider Aussie17 shared a clip from the broadcast on X. Dr. Murakami’s conclusion was blunt: “…the more doses you get, the sooner you’re likely to die, within a shorter period…” The first graph compared death rates between vaccinated and unvaccinated groups. According to Dr. Murakami, there was no noticeable spike in deaths among the unvaccinated. But among the vaccinated, a clear peak emerged, especially between 90 and 120 days after the shot. “A significant peak forms at three or four months,” he said, pointing to the vaccine as the likely cause. “It’s probably due to the vaccine’s influence, with adverse reactions occurring leading to death.” Then came a graph that was impossible to ignore. It showed a clear pattern: the more vaccine doses a person received, the sooner they died after their final shot. The title translates to: “Number of days from final vaccination to death and number of deaths.” The note on the right reads: “As the number of vaccine doses increases, the peak in deaths appears sooner.” Each line represents people grouped by the final dose they received before death. In other words, those counted under the third dose curve had received three shots and died before receiving a fourth. What stood out most was the steep green spike representing deaths after the third dose. Not only was it the highest, but it also appeared earlier, around 90 to 120 days. The trend held across the board: as the number of doses increased, the peak of death consistently moved closer to the time of the last injection. As Dr. Murakami noted, “We found that as the number of doses increases, the peak of deaths appears faster, meaning the more doses you get, the sooner you’re likely to die, within a shorter period. So, the risk increases with more doses.” He added, “If the vaccine had no toxicity or didn’t induce death, there wouldn’t be a peak. That’s the point.” “This is a key discovery,” he continued. “The more doses, the more the peak shifts, indicating that the toxicity accumulates. The toxicity overlaps, and the more doses you receive, the faster people die.” While the data is truly alarming, it comes as no surprise to anyone who’s been paying attention. There’s simply no excuse for these shots to still be on the market. Remember, the swine flu vaccine was pulled in 1976 after just 25 deaths and around 550 cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome—and that was with only a quarter of Americans vaccinated. Ultimately, 53 deaths were linked to the program, and the government not only shut it down but also issued apologies and compensation to victims. As Dr. Peter McCullough states in the video, “It’s unacceptable to have anyone take an injection electively and die. It’s absolutely unacceptable. It’s not something that our country has ever thought is okay to do.”
‘Dissenting science, whether or not well founded, cannot be allowed to exist.’
Watch; Dr Andrew Wakefield: The Doctor-Patient Relationship, Vaccines, Drug Trials, and the Cost of Asking Questions, The Truth Contract, 29 May 2025
‘Andrew Wakefield is a British physician, researcher, and filmmaker whose work has sparked global debate around medical freedom, vaccine safety, and public health ethics.’
Andrew Wakefield; “I think the biggest problem that we face is one of the mindset of the establishment particularly. And I can talk about my own experience and I can talk about vaccine safety science specifically to give some context to what I can say. And I want to just read you something that really characterises the mindset of the system and what scientists face when taking on the system. This is from the American government, it’s from the Federal Register, it’s an official document and it says this, ‘Any public doubt, whether or not well founded, about the safety of the vaccine cannot be allowed to exist in view of the need to assure that the vaccine will continue to be used to the maximum extent consistent with the nation’s health objectives’. So dissenting science, whether or not well founded, cannot be allowed to exist. So there you can immediately see the barrier that the dissenting scientist comes up against. It doesn’t matter if you’re right. It doesn’t matter whether what you say or what the parents say about what happened to their children has real substance. It cannot be allowed to exist. So how do you move forward in science with that kind of impenetrable roadblock that really sets the objective? And something that we’ve really learned from the COVID experience is this, when Tony Fauci proclaimed that he was science, he, Tony Fauci represented science, he said the scientists working in this field, that is the field of gain of function research, might say, as I have said, that the benefits of such experiments and the resulting knowledge outweigh the risk. So there you have an unelected individual, a scientist, a single person taking a decision on behalf of 7 to 8 billion people globally. ‘I believe it is my belief that it is worth the risk’ (says Fauci). Of course it wasn’t. It was absolutely catastrophic. Now it’s been established beyond all reasonable doubt that this was a lab-generated virus through gain of function and that the consequences were catastrophic globally.”
‘Oh my God, this is so scary. We have to lock everything down’. But that was all coming from a global place. It was coming from this global public private partnership and it was being channelled through the UN and the WHO to all of these global governance bodies, which are just coordinating mechanisms for global control.’
Watch; COVID-19 Was a Military Psyop; UK Column, 5th June 2025
‘Jerm and Debbie Lerman discuss the COVID-19 ‘pandemic’, focusing on the military and intelligence roles in public health, and Deborah Birx‘s influence. Lerman shares her shift from scepticism to recognising a global public-private partnership that emerged during the crisis. They stress examining beyond obvious narratives to understand control mechanisms, questioning political power and accountability. The conversation covers the illusion of presidential authority, deep state control, and systemic barriers to change. The lab leak theory is a distraction, China is a scapegoat. The COVID era was an elite-orchestrated event. Lerman advocates disconnecting from the system to address societal issues’ root causes. Her book, ‘The Deep State Goes Viral’ critiques the power structures behind the pandemic.’
Debbie Lerman; “In every country, not just in the United States, the global bio-defence public-private partnership took over. I know that he (Trump) didn’t have the power because he was tweeting in May of 2020, ‘open up the country’. Who is he talking to? He’s the President. Why is he tweeting ‘open up the country’? Just go and open it up if you want to open it up. So clearly he didn’t have the power. And Scott Atlas in his book also explained that all the deference was given to Deborah Birx, and Trump told him at the end when he had to leave, that basically it wasn’t Fauci who was the problem, it was Deborah Birx, that’s why I think he went after USAID. And right now he’s going after the National Security Council. So there’s certain agencies and people and groups that usurped his power during the pandemic and he’s trying to get back at them. He can’t because they’re still in charge. So in every country in the United States, at the beginning, everybody was saying everything’s fine, don’t worry about it, the Chinese are over-reacting. And there’s a date which is February 27th, which is the date that Deborah Birx actually took over, which is I think when they switched the narrative to, ‘Oh my God, this is so scary. We have to lock everything down’. But that was all coming from a global place. It was coming from this global public-private partnership and it was being channelled through the UN and the WHO to all of these global governance bodies, which are just coordinating mechanisms for global control. It’s not like the chief of the WHO sat down and said, I’m going to do this terrible thing to the world. He was just a conduit for the cartel to say, OK, this is what we’re going to do. And so it all came from there. Many countries in their investigations have revealed that on the local level, people were not allowed to respond to what was happening. Whether there was or wasn’t an outbreak, they were getting their orders not even from their national government, because their national government was getting orders from somewhere else. And the same was true for Trump. They were all getting their orders from the WHO or the UN or NATO or whoever was sending out the message.”

“Peter Erickson; “I think there’s no question that it’s going to be a very consequential defeat for the United States. I know that John Mearsheimer has said ‘there’s no question that Russia will win this war but it will be an ugly victory’. I think there’s no question that Ukraine of course will be defeated but it will be an ugly defeat and an ugly defeat not just for Ukraine but for NATO because the involvement of NATO has been so extensive from the very beginning and the constant insistence on the part of all the European leaders and of American leaders at least of Biden, that we cannot lose. ‘As long as it takes’. Remember we don’t hear that so much now but we heard it again and again and I think the Europeans still utter that. This will be a difficult one to walk away from. You’re talking about Iraq a small country or Afghanistan even, that was an embarrassing debacle but now people don’t think about it, it’s a small country on the far on the other side of the world with really very little connection to the western world. Tt this is different. Ukraine is part of the Western world this is not something that you can simply walk away from that you can memory- whole which often our media is very very good at doing. This is right on the borders of Europe. So this is something that will have consequences. Consequences for the reputation of NATO of the collective West. there’s there’s no escaping. It’s going to be a serious blow. When this started there was a great deal of confidence that we would prove victorious that our weapons were far superior and we have seen these weapons introduced one after another with great fanfare. Each and every one of them was going to be a game changer; everything from the HIMARS to the the F-16 and several weapon systems in between and every single one of them has had virtually no impact or if there was an impact it was temporary and the Russians then figured out a way to neutralize that weapon. Anybody who’s paying attention sees this and says “Well wait a second this is not the invincible military power that I thought it was’. Then on top of that is of course the weakness of the Western military-industrial complex has been laid bare. i think that’s actually maybe the even bigger story it’s not just that their weapons weren’t what they were made up to be, they just don’t have the productive capacity. You find out that they had a stockpile of a thousand of these a thousand of those and whoops we used it all up but we can produce a hundred every year…….we’re going to wait for 10 years. I am exaggerating a bit but not by a whole lot. All of these have been exposed to people who are paying attention. That is going to have a long-term impact on the way we’re already seeing. This is not some sort of distant possibility and eventuality but this is taking place right now. It’s going to reach its culmination when the defeat finally occurs. When this is all over and the dust settles and the smoke clears, the rest of the world is going to look completely different in their minds of what the collective West is. It’s going to be greatly reduced. They entered this conflict as giants and they’re going to be walking out of it as midgets. That’s going to affect everything. It’s not just going to be military contracts but it’s going to affect diplomatic relations and economic treaties and so on and so forth.

And it’s to be expected because it’s one thing when you look at something from the outside and it’s something different when you actually deal with it. And the same goes for the Middle Eastern matter, although over there, I think he had much more experience, he was more involved in the Middle East before, but it’s difficult there as well because real life is always difficult. It’s more difficult than what you initially believe. But personally, I’m always open to any contacts, to any meetings, and I know that President Trump has said on multiple occasions that we could meet. But I personally think this is something you need to prepare for, because as a result of such a meeting, we need to achieve some kind of new level of partnership. But overall, thanks to President Donald Trump, relations between Russia and the United States are starting finally to get better in some respects. Of course, we still have issues diplomatically, but the first steps are there, we’re moving forward. We have contacts between our major agencies, between the State Department and our Foreign Ministry, between our special services, which is really important, because it’s really critical to be able to fight terrorism, whatever the situation is, whatever the environment is. And in other agencies too, we have very good prospects in terms of economic development, economic partnership. I know that American businesses are really willing, they’re sending signals that they would like to go back to our market. We would welcome that but that requires dialogue.’
Jeffrey Sachs explains in 2 minutes what the Western media and politicians try to hide about the Western-provoked proxy war in Ukraine.
Watch; Jeffrey Sachs: Understanding the Ukraine conflict (minidoc) JUJU, 6 December 2024
‘A mini-documentary on the background of the Ukraine conflict follows Jeffrey Sachs’ lecture at the Cambridge Union. The journey begins in the early 1990s and continues to the present day. The documentary features interviews and statements from world leaders along the way, shedding light on significant historical geopolitical events and questioning the narrative created by Western media. What is true and what is not—that decision is left to the viewer. However, the most important thing is not who is right but that there are understandable explanations for everything that has happened, and that these events are merely the result of a chain reaction of numerous events, the consequences of which we are now witnessing.’
Jeffrey Sachs; “Let me just explain in 2 minutes the Ukraine war. This is not an attack by Putin on Ukraine in the way that we are told every day. This started in 1990. February 9th 1990 James Baker, the third our Secretary of State, said to Mikhail Gorbachev, NATO will not move one inch eastward if you agree to German unification, basically ending World War 2.”
Dangerous war games by vain, corrupt, power-crazed politicians. A whole generation of Ukrainian men have lost their lives because, as Boris said; ‘if Ukraine fails it would be a catastrophe for the West, it would be the end of Western hegemony, and we will have no one to blame but ourselves.’
Watch; Spread the Word; Alex Krainer, 29 November 2024
“The globalist cabal are planning a false flag terror attack on London which they’ll blame on Russia so that they could trigger an all out whole of society mobilisation by all of the Western powers against Russia. Now, if that seems far fetched, there are now several important elements that fit coherently with this scenario, starting with the general geopolitical state of things. Ukraine is too important for them and the stakes could not be higher. From the imperial Cabal’s point of view, the price, in fact, is the whole world. In April 2022, then US Chief of Staff Mark Milly said that if we lose in Ukraine, the world order we created 80 years ago will crumble. Poland’s Prime Minister Matthios Moravietsky said if we lose in Ukraine, we will lose the world for decades. Defeat in Ukraine could be the beginning of the end of the golden age of the West. Former NATO Secretary General George Robertson said that if Ukraine loses, world order would be established by our enemies. Finally, in April, Boris Johnson recorded himself telling the world that if Ukraine fails it would be a catastrophe for the West, it would be the end of Western hegemony, and we will have no one to blame but ourselves. It is unlikely that the Empire’s vested interests will quietly accept this catastrophe. This is why they’re escalating provocations against Russia, desperately hoping that the Russians will strike at a NATO member nation, creating the pretext to avoid Article 5 of the NATO treaty and to unleash a united response where the collective West could confront Russia in a whole of society effort and hopefully snatch a victory out of the jaws of a certain defeat. A new fall flag attack aimed at triggering World War Three against Russia wouldn’t be unusual in the context of history.”

Watch; Sovereignty War in Europe: Hungary & Slovakia Say NO to Anti-Russia Sanctions! Times Now World, 13 June 2025
‘Hungary and Slovakia are openly defying the EU’s energy sanctions against Russia, warning of rising utility costs and national sovereignty threats. As Brussels finalises its 18th sanctions package, both nations are leading a rebellion against EU energy policy, demanding real energy security and refusing to abandon Russian imports.’
Narration; “Hungary and Slovakia have just detonated a political grenade inside the European Union. As Brussels races to finalise its 18th sanctions package against Russia, this time targeting energy giants like Rosatom and the Nord Stream pipelines, two member states are refusing to play along. Hungarian foreign minister Péter Szijjártó didn’t mince words, he called the EU’s proposal a blatant violation of our sovereignty, accusing Brussels of trying to hijack national energy policy. His message? Hungary won’t sacrifice its affordable Russian energy just to satisfy the political agenda of Brussels or Kiev. “Neither for the sake of Brussels nor Kiev, we are willing to exchange our existing energy sources for more expensive and unsafe energy sources.” And Hungary isn’t standing alone. In a coordinated move, Szijjártó and his Slovak counterpart Juraj Blanár agreed to oppose the EU plan at the upcoming energy ministers meeting in Luxembourg. Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico has already warned of a looming crisis if Russian energy supplies are cut off, and he’s threatening to block the entire sanctions package unless the EU provides a real plan for energy security. The alliance between Hungary and Slovakia is no longer quiet dissent, it’s a full scale rebellion. What’s truly explosive is what Hungary is implying, that the EU isn’t just punishing Russia, it’s punishing its own citizens. Szijjártó warned the ditching Russian energy would drive up utility bills for Hungarian families and suggested that Brussels might be using energy funds to continue the war, without even naming Russia as the aggressor. That’s not just political spin, it’s a radical challenge to the dominant Western narrative. Meanwhile, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban continues to reject Ukraine’s EU and NATO ambitions, claiming Russia poses no serious threat to the alliance. These aren’t isolated statements. They’re part of a broader, calculated resistance. Hungary and Slovakia are pushing back hard against the EU’s authority, and if more countries follow suit, Brussels could face a political earthquake. The unity of the EU is beginning to crack and the front lines aren’t in Ukraine but inside the Union itself.”
Watch; Scott Ritter; How Soon Will Ukraine Collapse? Judging Freedom, 10 June 2025
Scott Ritter; “The British haven’t even been clever about this. They have acknowledged that they have initiated a programme that is designed to keep Ukraine in the fight. In fact, I think that might even be the name of the programme, but it is a concerted effort by the British government using it’s the various resources it has available to it, including that of MI6 to keep Ukraine in the fight. And one aspect of keeping Ukraine in the fight right now is to use asymmetrical capabilities, covert action to create the conditions to provoke a Russian overreaction, the scope and scale of which would be so much that the West would feel compelled to intervene because that is the only pathway of salvation for Ukraine. They have lost this war on the battlefield. The Russians have penetrated Dnipropetrovsk, they’re closing on Sumy, the Ukrainians are collapsing across the battlefield, the Russians now are talking about moving in even deeper. They’ve annihilated the air defence, they have free reign over Ukraine strategically. They haven’t finished with their retaliation attack. It’s over on the ground. So the only hope Ukraine has is for an intervention by European states backed by the United States. This isn’t going to happen on its own volition, so what the British are seeking to do is play this very dangerous game of brinksmanship, of provoking the Russians to the point where Russia will do something that will have to trigger a Western response. And there are some people who I’m in communication with in the United Kingdom right now who are linked to this decision-making cycle, believe that the the British are deliberately provoking Russia to use a tactical nuclear weapon against Ukraine under the belief that that is the only condition under which now Europe and the United States may become decisively engaged. So Britain is provoking Russia to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. That is what’s happening now. That is not something I think the United States is pursuing, but the mechanisms of facilitation of this plan had been put in place by the United States. Remember, it’s the United States, not Great Britain, that built 20 CIA bases inside Ukraine to carry out covert actions. And one of those bases is a drone operation centre. And the British play a very important role in that. So the technology, the planning, the tactics, the techniques that have been transferred by the United States and the British to the Ukrainians that facilitated this attack. That is what Lavrov talks about. The inertia meaning that we started something, Trump may have temporarily put a pause on it or pulled the plug, but we started something and through inertia, that is facilitating the British assistance to Ukraine to carry out these strikes.”
Judge Napolitano; “I’m going to change the subject slightly because you alluded to it in your last really terrific answer. And I want to get back to nuclear weapons, the British and their crazy provocations. How much longer can Ukraine survive? You talked earlier about the continued Westward march of the Russian military. How soon before Ukraine collapses either because the military gives up the ghost and goes home, or Zelensky and the government leaves the country or is killed?”
Scott Ritter; “First of all, we we have to be realistic here. The Russians have this military supremacy, the Russians are dictating the pace of action in a way that the Ukrainians can’t respond. Their force structure is such that they could probably push to the Dnieper River and make some inroads into Mikolaiv, but they would require significant reinforcement to go beyond that, meaning that if they were to make a push to Odessa to get to Transnistria up by the Moldovan border, this would require hundreds of thousands of additional troops, if they were to push down through Belgorod, Kursk to take Chernihiv and Sumy and take Kharkov, additional hundreds of thousands of troops. So the Russians right now, I believe they can accomplish their immediate task, which is the securing of Kherson, Zaporizhia, Donetsk, Lugansk, and then to make inroads into a buffer zone in the Dnipropetrovsk , Mikolaiv, Kharkov, Sumy region. They’re fully capable of doing this. But to make that final push would require require the Russians to mobilise several hundred thousand more troops, and that takes time. So the Ukrainians can collapse where they’re currently are. But if they fall back to the Dnieper river and start building a defensive there, it’s possible for Ukraine to stay in this fight militarily for some period of time. The problem is the economic, social and political collapse that comes with this. The Russians basically are taking out Ukraine’s industrial capacity there. They’re already destroyed economically. Ukraine defaulted on its loans and has no money. They can’t even afford to buy their dead back, and that’s not buying their dead back, it means when they receive their dead, they have not acknowledged their dead and then paid the families and they don’t have the money to do that. And then we’re already seeing the political collapse, widespread discussion about Zelensky’s final days, the moving control of the government to the parliament, new elections. And it’s that aspect of it’s going to bring about the end of the war, not the military collapse, but the economic, social and political collapse. And I believe that’s coming sooner rather than later.”
The core of the issue is for Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, they’ve been caught in a US game from the 1990s, partly to weaken Russia, partly to grab oil resources in the Caspian region, partly to build a Caspian-Black Sea pipeline that would go around Russia. In other words, great game stuff with some of the big names of the neo-con world involved from the start; Brzezinski, Snowcroft, Kissinger, playing games in this region, thinking that this was part of the post 1991 process of further weakening or deconstructing or decolonising Russia.
Watch; Dirty war, second front and South Caucasus w/ Jeffrey Sachs The Duran, 12 June 2025
Jeffrey Sachs; “Georgia together with its two other neighbours, Armenia and Azerbaijan are part of this great game that has been going on for centuries actually between Britain and Russia and between the United States and Russia in the last 30 years. This is contested territory, these are borderlands, these are places where the United States has actively tried to intervene, specifically in Georgia to expand NATO. So this is part of the plan that includes Ukraine to surround Russia and the Black Sea region with NATO. This is Brzezinski’s plan from the 1990s, riffing off of Lord Palmerston’s plan in the 1850s. And Georgia became part of that game. And it has been a deadly game because it involved one hot war between Russia and Georgia in 2008 and the continuing very tense situation in recent years. So you have this region, the South Caucasus, these are the small countries, very historic, each, if you look at Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, with civilisations that go back thousands of years, Georgia, arguably ten thousand years of recognisable civilisation, that have been contested zones actually between East and West, North and South, for for thousands of years. They are countries at the crossroads of East and West, at the crossroads of Christianity and Islam, within the region itself, a contested territory between three great imperial powers of the last 600 years of history, the Ottoman Turks, the Iranians and the Russians. And so those three empires, even without the United States and Britain, have been fighting among themselves and contesting this territory. But after 1991 and even during the Cold War, I would say, it was viewed as the soft underbelly of the Soviet Union or the soft underbelly of Russia and therefore a place where the CIA could meddle, a place where the American deep state could meddle, a place where American so-called non governmental organisations, which are very much governmental organisations, part of the US deep state, could try to intervene and swing politics. And Georgia got caught completely in that because Georgia was one of the locations where the United States helped to arrange the overthrow of the government, the Rose Revolution of 2004, which overthrew Shevardnadze and installed a Western favourite, Saakashvili, backed by George Soros personally and backed by US money personally. And he was the stooge, I would say, to promote the entry of NATO and the EU into the region. Now one thing about the EU being there also, this region, if you ask a geographer, is not in Europe. These are countries South of the Great Caucasus Mountains. The crestline of the Caucasus Mountains is the divide between Europe to the North, that’s Russia, and Asia to the South. So these aren’t even geographically part of Europe, but the European Union in this neo-con US-promoted age wanted to take territory as NATO expands. So they went side by side as in Ukraine as well. And Saakashvili became the instrument for that. And in 2008, at this infamous NATO Bucharest summit, which was a turning point when Europe fell completely into line with US neoconservatism, that Georgia and Ukraine together at that NATO summit were invited into NATO, that was I think, the turning point from cold to hot war that ensued. And in the case of Georgia, Saakashvili, I’ll tell you one anecdote, but he took this invitation to NATO, is also the invitation to attack a breakaway territory and try to reclaim it for Georgia, thinking that NATO has his back and the United States has his back. And he lost a war with Russia in 2008. He ended up in many weird adventures of politics throughout the region, including in Ukraine. And a very bizarre guy, but in any event, this thrust Georgia into the front line of the Russia-US confrontation. And it’s been there until basically now the governing party, the Georgia Dream, which you will know more about and be more up to date than I am having just visited, is trying to extricate Georgia from all of this great game, because this great game is not conducive to peace, to security, or to economic development. It is a disaster. It is being used as a pawn of somebody else, and in this case, a pawn of the United States. And I just wanted to tell you an anecdote. We discuss all the time how Ukraine became a pawn of the United States and has been devastated and bloodied and degraded and divided because of this neo-con Palmerston idea of grabbing Ukraine for NATO and for the West and so forth. In 2008, as this was brewing, this NATO enlargement, Saakashvili actually came to New York, came to the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City in April or May 2008. And I was curious, so I thought I’d go over and listen to him. So I walked across Central Park and went to hear him speak and it was incredible, “We are part of Europe, we’ve always been part of Europe. We will be part of NATO, we will be part of the European Union. We are the most European country”. And of course, all these fools, I have to say in New York in the audience, “yeah, you’re wonderful, we’ve got your back” and so forth. And I remember I walked out of the building and I called my wife because I was shaking. I said this guy is so reckless, this guy is nuts, this guy is going to get his country destroyed. And it was just two or four weeks later that the war broke out and that indeed Saakashvili was smashed as a result. But I had that very personal prescience of this insane arrogance that the United States gives these countries. They think the US has their back, “now we can do anything, we’ll defeat Russia, we can put it in their face”. And this is the mindset that has led us to disaster all over the region. But that’s a very long winded answer to your question. But the core of the issue is for Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, they’ve been caught in a US game from the 1990s, partly to weaken Russia, partly to grab oil resources in the Caspian region, partly to build a Caspian- Black Sea pipeline that would go around Russia. In other words, great game stuff with some of the big names of the neo-con world involved from the start. Brzezinski always around, Snowcroft, Kissinger, playing games in this region, thinking that this was part of the post 1991 process of further weakening or deconstructing or decolonising Russia. And these three little wonderful, amazing historic countries have gotten caught in the middle of it and they’re trying to extricate themselves from it. And Europe continues to meddle non-stop. the US has tried, but I hope that Trump has no interest in this. So maybe they actually have a chance on their own for some economic development. Bottom line and final point, I should say, my recommendation to them is look at your map, look at your geography, look at your neighbourhood. That’s how you do economics to start with. You have neighbours, you trade with your neighbours, you have investments with your neighbours, you have infrastructure with your neighbours. The three neighbours are three big powers, Russia, Turkey and Iran, three historic civilisations. They actually are getting along reasonably well right now, thank you, and that gives a chance for the three Caucasus countries, which really have a shared destiny as well, to say, look, we can be prosperous within this region by having decent relations with all three sides. The United States is not our issue, the EU is not our issue, but Russia, Iran, Turkey, the Middle East, a North-South trade and infrastructure corridor and East- West trade corridor. We can have a very nice future if it’s peaceful in our region.”
Like the Ukrainians, the Georgians are being brainwashed to think that the EU is their friend and Russia their enemy. Can’t they see that the West has killed half a million Ukrainian men in their lie that the war is to free them from Russia? The Ukrainians voted to end the conflict led by the ultra-nationalists and funded by the neocons to destroy Russia and steal her resources.
Georgia Erupts: Protesters Defy Crackdown, Zourabichvili Leads Anti-Government Charge!; Times Now World; 30 June 2025
Intro; ‘Thousands of protesters have gathered outside Georgia’s parliament in the latest demonstration against the ruling Georgian Dream party, marking seven consecutive months of unrest. The protests, driven by accusations of election rigging and a pivot away from European integration, have escalated following the imprisonment of opposition leaders and a government crackdown on dissent. Critics accuse the government of moving closer to Moscow, raising concerns over Georgia’s democratic trajectory’.
The UK citizens do not want war in Ukraine and yet ‘leaked documents revealed that there was a cabal inside British military intelligence called Project Alchemy that had been planning attacks on Russian train lines, drone attacks on Russian military bases from inside Russia, and we revealed the blueprints produced by this British military intelligence cabal to attack the Kerch bridge.’
Watch; The Five Eyes Blind Trump; Max Blumenthal, The Grayzone, 10 June 2025
‘Exposing MI6’s Ukraine Proxy War and Palantir’s Dark Role in Gaza and Global Surveillance. In this explosive interview on ‘Judging Freedom’, journalist Max Blumenthal dissects the West’s role in escalating global conflicts, from British-backed drone attacks sabotaging Ukraine-Russia peace talks to Israel’s AI-driven genocide in Gaza. He exposes Palantir’s deep ties to the U.S. government and its complicity in surveillance and warfare, while condemning figures like Lindsey Graham for endorsing violence against activists like Greta Thunberg. Blumenthal also reveals how Trump’s diplomacy is being undermined by neocons and intelligence agencies. A chilling analysis of power, technology, and imperialism, this conversation is a must-watch for understanding the hidden forces shaping today’s wars.’
Judge Napolitano; “What are your thoughts on the Ukraine drone attacks? I mean, does anybody take seriously President Trump’s statement to President Putin that the United States didn’t know about this?”
Max Blumenthal; “Well, if Trump didn’t know about it and everyone wants to blame the Deep State, then Trump has lost control of the most critical areas of diplomacy. And he is allowing the British, the most radical dangerous country engaged in supporting Ukraine, to take control and sabotage him along with radical actors from Mike Pompeo to no relation to me, Richard Blumenthal and Lindsey Graham, who claims to be America First to completely sabotage diplomacy. And that’s what’s been happening. This has been happening since early May. So let’s step back a second before we talk about this daring drone attack, this brazen drone attack, which has been prepared for over a year, maybe eighteen months, and obviously was conducted with British support. In early March, Trump humiliated Zelensky and everyone, including us, believed this was the moment that Trump would use to suspend intelligence cooperation with the Ukrainian SBU, which has been carrying out all these terror attacks, assassinations inside Russia, and withhold weapons to bring them to the table and bring an end to this war and end the killing. As his vice president JD Vance said, one week after that took place, Trump restored intelligence cooperation and restored weapons deliveries to Ukraine, and the brakes were off on this attack leading up to the landmark Istanbul talks. And so just hours before Putin and Zelensky teams were to meet in Istanbul, Ukraine carries out these attacks, and we at the Grayzone have been exclusively reporting with leaked documents that no one else has reported on that there was a cabal inside British military intelligence called Project Alchemy that had been planning attacks on Russian train lines, drone attacks on Russian military bases from inside Russia, and we revealed the blueprints produced by this British military intelligence cabal to attack the Kerch bridge. All of that has happened in the past seventy-two hours, all of that, and we have the we’ve had the blueprints out there. This is obviously a British attack, and one more point, the US and Russia have a treaty that all strategic bombers must be able to be seen by satellites from the air in order to prevent a surprise nuclear attack. Which country in NATO in the West is not a part of that treaty? Britain. And so it it’s just another piece of evidence adding to their desire to attack.”
Judge Napolitano; “Your analysis is 100% consistent with Scott Ritter who says the CIA surely knew about it, but the the the plans, the money, the idea, the operations were MI6. Talk to me about how dangerous it is. You alluded to this in your the initial part of your statement. If John Ratcliffe, the director of CIA and Tulsi Gabbard, the director of National Intelligence, if they in fact did not know or if in fact they did know and didn’t tell Trump, I don’t know which is worse, one is incompetence and the other is deceptive and insubordinate.”
Max Blumenthal; “Well, it looks like the Five Eyes have rendered Trump blind.”
Judge Napolitano; “Good line, good line, Max. The five eyes are are the five English- speaking countries, Great Britain, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, United States that frequently share and almost without guidelines share intelligence.”
Max Blumenthal; “So the thinking is, and I’m sure Scott Ritter was all over this, that this was planned under Rishi Sunak’s MI6 and it took that level of preparation, laying the groundwork for storing drones inside a hangar in Russia, finding the strategic bombers, finding the right time and then executing it in order to sabotage negotiations in Istanbul. On the day after Richard Blumenthal and Lindsey Graham, the neo con duo, were in Kiev. And this followed a visit by Senator Mark Kelly at the same time that Ukraine executed cyber attacks which apparently targeted Elon Musk’s Twitter X. So, I mean, it’s clear what has been going on here, that this was an attempt to sabotage Trump. Under the Five Eyes agreement, you would think GCHQ would have to tell the NSA and that the CIA would learn from MI6 that this was about to take place, but what took place was after this attack, if you were on Twitter X or social media, you would see all the pro-Trump MAGA influencers basically flipping their wigs, freaking out that this had sabotaged Trump’s plan for this grand deal in Istanbul. So Trump’s clearly activated his influencers and now Trump himself is under enormous pressure from the media. This is what they always do, the Beltway press in the Rose Garden, is they always pressure the president from the neo-con position to do more war. They never pressure him against it, and so Trump just had a press conference and was pushed on applying more sanctions on Russia. He’s constantly under attack by the press for not sanctioning Russia more, and it means another step away from diplomacy, sanctioning the country that is already the most sanctioned country on the planet, over 1,000 sanctions have been placed on Russia and the ruble has not turned to rubble, so what is the point of doing more? It’s that Trump finds himself overwhelmed once again, as in his first term, by the preponderance of neo- con forces that surround him.”
Listen; Larry Johnson: Ukraine Attacks 2,500 Miles Inside Russia; Judging Freedom, 2 June 2025
Judge Napolitano; “How confident are you of the fingerprints of CIA, MI6 and perhaps Mossad on this?”
Larry Johnson; ” One hundred percent, just the operation of initiating, turning the drones on. Just think of the process, you’ve got them hidden under this roof, so the roof has to open up, that requires an external command. Now the reports are that they were using the Russian phone network, maybe, but I think Starlink, an Elon Musk operation was involved with this as well. You can’t rule out satellite communications as a source of overhead imagery. It was reported, and I’ve seen no confirmation of it, that Pete Hegseth was watching the attack real time, which means he absolutely knew it was coming off. And the Ukrainians had other drones with video capability, which in part explains why you’re seeing some of the drone footage that’s out there. But some of it has also been genned up by artificial intelligence.
What was the strategy in this? To destroy Russia’s strategic bomber force in order to weaken Russia so that Russia would feel compelled to surrender? Well, if that was the strategic goal, it failed. In fact, you have to look at the opposite consequence. It has now emboldened Russia to pursue the war in a more aggressive fashion to the detriment of Ukraine. And that’s the problem, what you have here with Ukrainians is complete lack of strategic thought, they are all focused on tactics, they basically have the brain of a teenager, thinking only about immediate gratification, immediate pleasure, not thinking about if I do X is going to lead to Y & Z and what will be my preparations to deal with that outcome. So they are not taking steps to shore up their ability to stop the Russian advance on the ground. And now they have basically energised the entire Russian population to a greater degree than was the case, say, two months ago about the need to destroy Ukraine.”

Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh, during his visit to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Qingdao, received strong backing from China and Russia, who condemned what they called U.S. and Israeli aggression. Tehran has now publicly declared its support for Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin’s push against Western dominance. Despite U.S. claims that diplomatic channels remain open, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi dismissed any possibility of renewed talks, underlining Iran’s pivot toward the East as a strategic counter to Western pressures.’
Watch; Israel’s STUNNING Defeat to Iran Just Got Worse; Danny Haiphong, 29 June 2025
Intro; ‘The truth is coming out about Israel’s defeat to Iran and it’s only getting worse. Join Danny Haiphong and Mohammad Marandi for a mega livestream on the fallout of the 12-day war and why US/Israeli threats are not scaring Iran.’
Mohammad Marandi; “The fact is that the Iranians were up against this massive onslaught and the Israeli regime had everything and they used everything. They used a large array of infiltrators and of course the entire Western intelligence, the intelligence community of the West is involved, all these Western countries just like in Lebanon, they’re involved in infiltration in Iran through neighboring countries, from inside the country. So they had a large network of collaborators in Iran carrying out espionage and also carrying out attacks. They had the most advanced weapons and they used everything that they had in the sudden attack. Despite that, after the Iranians had lost many of their senior commanders, most of their senior commanders in the guard, they struck back and within a couple of days the tide turned. And ultimately the reason for Trump’s involvement was because the Israeli regime was losing, and even after his involvement things got worse as Trump himself admitted and as Bannon stated that the Israeli regime was on the ropes.
So I would say that this was a huge success for Iran, however we have to keep in mind that Iran has not used a lot of its weapon systems, Iran has kept many things for a rainy day or for an more important fight and especially its assets in the Persian Gulf have been untouched. Those assets that would be used against the United States but also key assets and missiles and weapons that can be used against the Israeli regime have not yet been used, whereas the Israelis gave it everything they had.
So while I expect another attack from the Israeli regime and while I expect Western regimes to endorse such aggression again and again and again, wherever it’s carried out, I think that next time around the Iranians are going to be much more tough with the regime, and they’re going to give out much more punishment.
Some say why should Iran wait for the regime to attack? There is a good argument to make for that. Of course when the regime carries out these unprovoked attacks they have a certain advantage, but the calculation in Iran is that when the regime exposes itself to aggression to the world it only delegitimises that regime further, and it delegitimises the Western empire further. When people across the world see how the Israeli and American regimes bomb civilian nuclear sites that are under International Atomic Energy Agency supervision and hypothetically risk contaminating cities with radioactive material, yet the International Atomic Energy Agency refuses to condemn it and Western regimes support it, I think that is itself incredibly damaging for the empire. Even though there are certain risks, even though damage is done, I think that today it’s universally acknowledged that people across the world see Iran as the moral actor and the Israeli regime as immoral and the empire as immoral.
Today we see that all the narratives that were built against Iran for over 45 years by the West and these oil and gas-rich Arab dictatorships in the Persian Gulf region through their huge networks of media and propaganda, Qatar, Saudi Arabia the Emirates and so on, all of these have collapsed and those regimes that pretended to be supporters or those politicians who pretended to be supporters of the Palestinian people, yet collaborated with the Israeli regime, all of them have been exposed and the axis of resistance has been revealed to everyone across the global South in the region and beyond as the real moral actors So I think that Iran’s behavior while it has certain disadvantages on the battlefield it has created a huge wave of support.
In the West they claimed that Iran is a repressive regime, that people have no freedom, that it is unpopular, well this barbaric zionist regime took out the leadership of the revolutionary guards. What happened, did the people turn against the system, did they celebrate the murder of the guards, did they find this as an opportunity to revolt because the guards at that moment they were leaderless? Most of the leaders were gone but nothing happened. It was the exact opposite, and that shows that in fact the Islamic Republic of Iran has always had popular support and today its popular support is much greater than ever before. And the fact that the armed forces, the army, the navy, the air force, the guards and the state together combined was able to repel this collective attack on the nation, this collective act of war and aggression with the help of neighboring countries. The role of the dictatorship in the Republic of Azerbaijan is still unclear to us. The the fact that radar stations in countries that neighbour us were all being used, the airspace of Jordan and Iraq were all being used, the fact that NATO countries, not only were they helping but as we speak we are seeing Western European and North American countries immediately sending plane loads full of weapons to Israel to prepare it for another round of aggression against the Iranian people. Of course the Iranians are preparing themselves and this time round if anything happens the punishment for the regime, the Israeli regime will be different from before, and my advice to zionists is to leave Palestine now, you have no future there. Those who have carried out crimes against humanity who have slaughtered Palestinians in the West Bank and in the Gaza Strip in particular should leave now.”
Update on Iran war
Watch; It’s Happening — And It’s WAY Too Late to Stop It; Colonel Douglas Macgregor; Yemek Zamanim; 29 June 2025 HOA KỲ
Colonel Douglas Macgregor; “What we have is a ceasefire during which I fully expect the Israelis will do everything in their power to get as many missiles, as many weapons as they can, repair radars, repair everything to get ready for the next round. Other words I don’t see any evidence that the Israelis are dancing in the streets saying “The war is over, we’ve won, we can relax.” No, quite the contrary, I think Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and so forth are all going to be very very busy now trying to produce more missiles to get them back up to speed for the next round of attacks. And I think in Iran the Iranians are happy because they don’t want to be bombed, but on the other hand they’re well aware that what they’ve done is actually quite an achievement They’ve overwhelmed Israeli defences. You know any air defence system can be overwhelmed, it’s just a matter of numbers and time. During World War II we lost 18,000 bombers, we and the Royal Air Force, trying to penetrate German air defences. The German air defences at the time were state-of-the-art, they were excellent, but ultimately we won because we could produce more bombers faster and send more of them through the air defences than the Germans could produce pilots, aircraft, anti-aircraft guns and so forth. The problem for the Israelis is that this is a country smaller than New Jersey. They originally had 9 million people that consisted of roughly 2 million Arabs and then 7 million Jews. I don’t know what the actual population is right now, but a lot of Jews in Israel are trying to leave Israel, in fact it’s gotten out of hand in Cyprus to the point where one of the leading politicians in Cyprus named Stefanou gave a speech and said “We can’t allow this to go on.” And somebody said “What do you mean can’t allow what to go on?’ ‘Well the Israelis or people from Israel are buying up all of this property, we’re we’re losing control of Cyprus’. Well why would they be buying property on Cyprus? Well ostensibly that’s where they plan to move. This is not a particularly good sign for Israel.Then there are 700,000 Jews in Israel with American passports, in other words dual citizens, and our ambassador Mr Huckabee is trying to find a way to help these people leave Israel. These are not good signs, this is too reminiscent in my judgment of what’s happened in Ukraine with Zelensky. So everybody is saying “Oh no Israel is invincible and invulnerable and they’re in charge and they control everything.” Well if that’s the case why are we witnessing these things? I think this is a very dangerous situation, I don’t see any evidence that anything has ended, I don’t know how long this will last, it could last two days, could last two weeks, could last two months, and during that time frame I think both sides will absolutely re-equip, replenish and get ready for the next round.”
Where humans might hesitate before killing, AI kills indiscriminately
Read; Palantir’s Shadow War On Iran; Kit Klarenberg; Jun 30, 2025
‘As the dust settles on the “12 Day War”, it is ever-clearer that the conflict was a crushing defeat for Israel and the US. In retrospect, the zionist entity’s sole success was a wave of assassinations in the conflict’s first hours. A fawning June 19th Financial Times report hinted cutting-edge technology drawing together diverse data and intelligence sources was responsible. This raises the obvious question of whether Tel Aviv was assisted in its murderous spree by notorious private spying giant Palantir.
An avowedly pro-Israel tech giant founded by Donald Trump confidante and ardent Zionist Peter Thiel, which reportedly provides artificial intelligence tech supporting Tel Aviv’s genocide in Gaza, Palantir’s tendrils extend typically unseen into almost every conceivable sphere of public and private life across the West. Moreover, the firm – launched with seed funding from CIA venture capital wing In-Q-Tel – has long-played a pivotal but barely acknowledged role in the International Atomic Energy Agency’s monitoring of Tehran’s nuclear research.
The interpretation Palantir was one way or another involved in Israel’s illegal “preemptive” war of aggression against Tehran is amply reinforced by the release of sensitive Israeli documents by Iran’s intelligence ministry. These files indicate the IAEA previously provided Israeli intelligence with the names of several Iranian nuclear scientists, who were subsequently assassinated. Additionally, current Association chief Rafael Grossi enjoys a close, long-running, clandestine relationship with Israeli officials. Subsequent disclosures could expose the IAEA’s dark alliance with Palantir.’

‘There is a grim inevitability about the developing war aimed at overthrowing the Iranian government. It might not seem this way for the millions of Westerners who have become indoctrinated through propaganda to believe that all events in the world have nothing to do with “us.” I suspect that our legacy media (formerly known as the mainstream or corporate media) will naively present current events as some kind of reasonable military action aimed at deterring Iranian nuclear capability. It was always, of course, about much more than that and, most importantly, the ongoing conflagrations are the direct result of “our” geo-political machinations. What follows is an antidote to the propaganda, and one that might fall on more open minds now that the harsh geopolitical realities of Western imperial belligerence are once again in the spotlight. During the 1990s, flushed with the perceived victory over the Soviet Union, power blocs within the West sought to exploit its military advantage to shore up Western hegemony. The Former Supreme Allied Commander Europe of NATO, Wesley Clark, recalled a conversation with Paul Wolfowitz from 1991 and just after US forces had defeated Iraq in the first Gulf War: And he said, but one thing we did learn, he said, we learned that we can use our military in the region in the Middle East and the Soviets won’t stop us. He said, and we have got about five or ten years to clean up those all Soviet client regimes; Syria, Iran, Iraq, – before the next great super power comes along to challenge us … . (quoted in Mondoweiss)
The planning and organisation for a fresh round of imperial belligerence manifested itself in the Project for a New American Century (PNAC), a cohort of ideological extremists determined to exploit US military capabilities in order to secure strategic dominance in the 21st century (see for example Scott’s The Road to 9/11 and Griffin’s The New Pearl Harbour). In 1996, the strategy paper titled “A Clean Break: A Strategy for Securing the Realm,” written by several eventual PNAC members and published by the Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies for the incoming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, recommended an aggressive posture toward Syria and Iran and aligning US and Israeli security policies more tightly, particularly around pre-emptive action. In 1998, Philip Zelikow, who later served on President George W. Bush’s transition team and Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (PFIAB) and then as his hand-picked executive director of the 9/11 Commission, co-authored the suspiciously prescient 1998 Foreign Affairs paper describing a possible “catastrophic” act of terrorism that would create a “watershed event in American History.” Was Zelikow’s paper a conceptual roadmap for neoconservatives planning the next paradigm shift away from a strategy of containment? In 2000, the PNAC report Rebuilding America’s Defenses warned (one year before the 2001 event) that the necessary transformations in US capabilities would likely be slow “absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor.”
As if on cue, 9/11 provided precisely that, with what was presented as a staggeringly brazen terror attack carried out by Islamic fundamentalists. Publics were urged to accept the narrative that a group of young Muslim men (inexperienced pilots) from a terror group called Al Qaeda had taken over four US airliners and used them to conduct kamikaze attacks on the World Trade Center (WTC) buildings in New York and the Pentagon, bringing down both WTC towers (designed to withstand such impacts) and a third tower, Building 7, which was not hit by a plane. Among rational scientists, scholars and other concerned citizens who demand empirical evidence for claims of truth, there is no doubt that 9/11 was a false flag event orchestrated by elements within the US so-called “deep state,” in co-operation with a range of allies that likely includes Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Britain and Israel. An exhaustive body of work over the last 20 plus years has clarified the patent falsity of the official narrative and highlighted, in particular, overwhelming evidence that confirms the buildings in New York could not have collapsed due to the impacts of two airliners and were, in fact, deliberately demolished. Beyond the impossibility that three skyscrapers in New York City could have each defied the laws of physical motion described by Isaac Newton, citizens cite the mountains of testimonial evidence that contradict the official report as well as various other unacceptable absurdities.
Taking advantage of the shock and awe created by the 9/11 event, the US and its allies implemented their “regime-change” war policy immediately. Even before the day had ended, the US government was declaring a “war on terror” and noted countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Sudan and Iran as being culpable for what had transpired in New York and at the Pentagon (see Ryan and Robinson, 2024). Wesley Clark famously revealed in 2007 having been informed during a visit to the Pentagon days after 9/11 that a plan was being implemented to attack seven countries in five years. He identified Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Iran as the countries targeted for “regime change.” Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson (former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell) states unequivocally that these plans to attack multiple countries were in place prior to 9/11. Documents published as part of the UK Chilcot Inquiry revealed communications between British Prime Minister Tony Blair and US President George W. Bush shortly after 9/11 in which they discussed phases one and two of a “war on terror”, including when to “hit” Iran, Syria and Iraq (see Robinson, 2017).
Started by the big lie about what happened on 9/11, the ensuing wars were to be accompanied by a familiar pattern of propaganda campaigns and strategic deceptions. A bogus intelligence assessment, the Taylor Report, was delivered to NATO countries weeks after 9/11 in order to legitimate the attack on Afghanistan. The attack swiftly followed and, in the coming months, led to the overthrow of the Taliban and the start of the 20-year war in Afghanistan. Brown University’s Costs of War project estimates the death toll, conservatively, at around 176,000. By 2002/3, sights were set on attacking Iraq, and the now notorious lies regarding alleged weapons of mass destruction (WMD) were used to sell that invasion to Western publics. No such weapons ever existed and the ensuing conflict in Iraq is estimated to have killed at least 300,000 people. In 2011, the opportunity to attack two further competitor nations, Libya and Syria, emerged. In the former case, NATO attacked Libyan forces under the deceptive auspices of a “humanitarian intervention,” based in part on deceptive propaganda claiming that Libyan forces were attacking civilians. The government of Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown and the country descended into a long period of conflict and chaos. The war against Syria took longer. The 14-year destruction of that country, involving the largest ever covert CIA operation, Timber Sycamore, working alongside an alliance of belligerents — UK, France, Israel, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia — ultimately led to the overthrow of the Assad government in 2024 and the installation of an al Qaeda-linked force led by Abu Mohammed al-Julani. Throughout, Western publics were propagandised by lies about Syrian chemical weapons use and, during the years of conflict, at least 269,000 people were killed. The West and its allies enabled the rise of brutal and extremist groups such as Al-Nusra Front and ISIS. During this period the war against Yemen, prosecuted largely by the West’s regional ally Saudi Arabia, killed more than 100,000 people.
It should not be forgotten that whilst the power projection by way of war impacted the lives and fate of the peoples of West Asia, the US’s parallel strategy of increasing pressure on its former Cold War adversary, largely through the unjustified eastward expansion of NATO and the proxy war in Ukraine, has brought the West to the brink of war with the Russian Federation. And now, this belligerent policy of creative destruction, designed to keep at bay the reality of a changing world in which the West no longer dominates, has possibly arrived at its end point, the destruction of the existing Iranian government. Talk of preventing Iranian nuclear capability is simply another variation of the deceptions used over Iraq (WMDs) and Syria (chemical weapons). The concern is not with whether Iran has the bomb, the concern is with removing a government that opposes the regional hegemonic ambitions of Israel and the global hegemonic objectives of the West.
Where this all goes from here is unknown. Will the Iranian government stand or fall? How will the major global players, especially Russia and China, respond? Will Israel stand or fall? Are we faced with a regional war or World War III? Will Israel’s genocidal assault on the Palestinian people continue?Whatever happens, Western publics should be under no illusion as to how this situation has come to be. The conflicts are the direct consequence of our governments and their associated military industrial complexes pursuing policies of war and, to do so, engaging in covert actions and major deceptions, which include the 9/11 false flag as well as the utilisation of brutal extremist groups in countries such as Syia. The death toll from these conflicts runs well into the millions while the misery is incalculable.
Propaganda, deception and lies, all in the name of war, are becoming firmly established as the parting legacy of the Western empire.’
This testimonial from one of the few sailors who survived the bombing of the USS Liberty warship by zionist forces is a timely reminder of the evil false flag attacks that the zionist entity is capable of. Also consider that the zionists along with their US brothers and sisters in the CIA, were behind 9/11 to convince the gullible US public to endorse multiple wars against the so-called axis of evil in the Middle East and Africa.

‘Israel’s overwhelming, malign influence over the US government has become impossible to deny. Regardless of which party controls the White House, the daylight between Washington and Tel Aviv will only widen in the years ahead. The political damage was not limited to Israel’s traditional base of support in the US. Inside Iran, where Israel had hoped to incite regime change riots by mauling the IRGC and symbols of the Islamic Republic, diverse sectors of the public rallied around the (Iranian) flag.’
Read; Iran vs. Israel: return of the ‘Spider Web’ theory by Max Blumenthal, The Grayzone, 24 June 2025
‘Iran’s greatest achievement in its 12-day war with Israel was in reviving the Spider Web theory Hasan Nasrallah introduced after Israel’s 2000 withdrawal from southern Lebanon. During his speech proclaiming victory over the Israeli occupiers, the late Hezbollah General Secretary argued that because of its colonial nature, Jewish Israeli society would fracture under sustained military pressure, forcing serious concessions from its elite in order to survive. When Israel assassinated Nasrallah and forced a ceasefire with Hezbollah in September 2024, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu proclaimed the death of his theory as well. “Our enemies thought we were like a spider web. That’s what one of them used to say,” said Netanyahu. “What spider web are they talking about? We have tendons of steel — both of will and power.” Three months later, as Trump entered office, Netanyahu’s coalition remained solid, Jewish Israeli society had recovered its confidence since the shock of October 7, and Tel Aviv believed Washington was firmly under its thumb. Israel’s military was now ready to turn its attention to Iran.
When Israel launched its inevitable assault on Iran this June 13, Iran seemed unprepared. It lost much of its senior IRGC leadership in the initial moments of the raid, along with nine nuclear scientists and valuable military assets. But after the painful opening moments, Iran demonstrated that it could turn the tables, penetrate Israel’s Iron Dome, and force Israelis to choose between a sweaty night in cramped shelters or a version of the rubble-strewn horrors they had imposed on Gaza, while hitting a few high value targets from the Defense Ministry to the Weizmann Institute. Despite the degradation of its air defenses, which prevented larger ballistic missile volleys and limited the use of more advanced missiles, Iran managed to score a last minute buzzer beater with a damaging strike on the Israeli city of Beersheba moments before today’s ceasefire went into effect. The final moments of Iran’s Operation True Promise 3 completed a political achievement that punctured the colonial psyche of Israel.
Modern zionism is constructed on the promise that, as Ehud Barak once said, Israelis will experience life in “a villa in the middle the jungle.” Yet just when they thought they had snuffed out the jungle-dwellers of Gaza, Lebanon and Yemen, the walls of their colonial villa began to crack again, and in unprecedented fashion. Billions of dollars of US and EU investment in Israel’s multi-layered air defense system had failed to prevent a mostly older stock of domestically-developed Iranian ballistic missiles from slipping through, piercing the delusions fed to a population accustomed to waging one-sided wars of extermination. Days before the ceasefire, Israel’s Yedioth Ahranoth reported that the country’s supply of interceptor missiles was becoming exhausted, corroborating reports in the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post days earlier. The image of Iranian missiles hitting Microsoft’s office in the Gav-Yam tech park in Beersheva was iconic. Israel’s tech sector forms the backbone of its economy, sustaining its upper middle class, generating valuable start-ups and providing veterans of its military’s vast Unit 8200 with in-country employment after their service ends. While continuous warfare and occupation have fueled the innovation of Israel’s death-tech, its tech sector depends on a supposedly impenetrable air defense system to sustain a stable environment for foreign direct investment. Yet even before it initiated war with Iran, Israel’s foreign direct investment levels were at their lowest point since 2023, and the self-proclaimed “Start Up Nation” was facing yet another credit downgrade. As Israel lifts the official veil of censorship on the destruction it withstood from Iranian strikes, these trends are likely to accelerate.
Perhaps the worst damage Israel suffered was to its image inside the United States, where a large segment of the population (correctly) held its responsible for committing genocide in Gaza. Only about 18% of the US public supported threatening Iran with a US strike, yet Trump went ahead with it anyway, and never even bothered to explain why to the American public. Along the way, he was accused of betrayal by the intellectual architects of America First, Tucker Carlon and Steve Bannon (co-founder of the right-wing outlet, Breitbart, whose launch was inspired by a 2007 meeting in Jerusalem with Netanyahu), while finding his most voluble defenders among Never Trump neocons like the AM radio carnival barker Mark Levin. Only 20% of Republicans under the age of 45 expressed enthusiasm for Trump’s strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. In an apparent attempt to recover his dignity, Trump erupted with rage at Israel after it violated the ceasefire he claimed credit for engineering. “I’m not happy with Israel,” the president raged as he left the White House on June 24. “When I say, ok, you have 12 hours, you don’t go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on them.” He continued, “We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard, they basically don’t know what they fuck they’re doing.”
To anyone paying attention, Israel’s overwhelming, malign influence over the US government has become impossible to deny. Regardless of which party controls the White House, the daylight between Washington and Tel Aviv will only widen in the years ahead. The political damage was not limited to Israel’s traditional base of support in the US. Inside Iran, where Israel had hoped to incite regime change riots by mauling the IRGC and symbols of the Islamic Republic, diverse sectors of the public rallied around the flag. In Tehran, residents handed out watermelon and treats to those queuing in cars for gasoline, while massive rallies erupted across the country in support of the war. Young women delivered viral tirades of defiance, including one hijabless Iranian declaring, “Death to Israel! Fuck Netanyahu!” and even professional, US-funded regime change activists like Masih Alinejad reacted with dismay at Israel’s targeting of Iranian civilians. “Shah” Reza Pahlavi, the failson of the Iran’s last king, who eagerly embraced Israeli support in his bid for regime change, has been discredited as a viable contender. If Ayatollah Ali Khameini reappears to address his country during upcoming Muharram observances, his words will reverberate with unprecedented power across the Muslim world.
To be sure, Israel delivered heavy blows to Iran’s military leadership, its air defenses and economy. Yet Israel’s assassinations of a swath of top IRGC commanders and nuclear scientists did not affect Iran’s ability to hit back, or alter the calculus of its plans. The Islamic Republic has demonstrated the resiliency of a system that has trained thousands of cadres to replace leaders eliminated in war, and which maintains viable institutions despite decades of sanctions. In the end, Iran fulfilled its defensive doctrine by withstanding the initial onslaught, responding against militarily superior foes without falling into an escalatory trap, and avoiding major political concessions. But as the dust clears, Iran faces some pressing questions: Can it can improve its air defense systems to prevent Israel from attacking at will as it does in Lebanon and Syria? And can the uranium stockpile it supposedly removed from its Fordow facility in the days before the US strike be transferred to a safe facility, where the enrichment process can continue? Iran may have scored a political and psychological victory against Israel, but it failed to achieve deterrence. The ceasefire is therefore likely to serve as an interregnum, as Israeli military chief of staff Eyal Zamir acknowledged when he stated, “The war is not over. A new phase lies ahead.” This means more assassinations, and further acts of sabotage like the explosions witnessed at Shahid Rajaee port this April.
Israel’s military-intelligence elite clearly believe they are in a race against time. After 21 months of grinding conflict, a political upheaval could be just over the horizon, unraveling the spider web that surrounds them.’
Read; The Phantom Ceasefire by Craig Murray, 24 June 2025
‘The Phantom Ceasefire is simply Trump’s off-ramp. He announces a ceasefire and bows out, having been advised that regime change would only be achievable with extreme military commitment and massive cost in lives and treasure. You can never trust the Israelis – or indeed the Americans – with either a ceasefire or a negotiation.’
Watch; Max Blumenthal discusses why Israel’s war against Iran isn’t over, w/Glenn Diesen, The Grayzone, 28 June 2025
Max Blumenthal; “Donald Trump didn’t even make the case as George W Bush did for going into Iran. He didn’t even try to manufacture consent. And the only network that was doing that was Fox News like the oldRepublican Boomer said. But inside the White House, what I learned through a White House administration source was that the Israelis, specifically Mossad director David Barnea, along with figures like Ron Dermer, who’s considered Netanyahu’s brain, were going into briefings and also working the CIA director John Ratcliffe behind the scenes and presenting the hysterical WMD deceptions that were even more absurd than those presented the American public in the run-up to the Iraq War, to the CIA director and to General Michael Kurilla, the commander of CENTCOM, who’s considered Israel’s favourite general. And they were just fully on board and presented the lies to the President, Trump, who then felt compelled to bomb Fordow, the Isfahan facility and Natanz in order to basically get the Israelis off his back. There are other areas of pressure, too, from Miriam Adelson, who’s sort of a channel for Israeli influence in the US and the largest donor overall to Donald Trump. But it was mainly through these phoney briefings and Donald Trump watching Fox News night after night that he felt compelled to do this bombing. And now it is blown back on him and he is facing a scandal as U.S. Intelligence has essentially confirmed what we already knew, what was clear, what Iran’s government has said, and what was clear from Maxar satellite photos, was that the Fordow facility was not destroyed, and that Iran’s 60% enriched uranium nuclear stockpile is still existent and somewhere in the country.”

Alexander Mercouris; “Unfortunately there are rumors circulating inside Iran which point to an even more ugly reason for why Iran might have no trust in the IAA anymore, and that that relates to the assassinations of all of those Iranian scientists, and unfortunately the Iranians apparently believe that the reason that the Israelis were able to come after all of those scientists and knew which scientists to go after is because they were being provided by with information by the IAEA.”
Mark Curtis, Co-founder of Declassified UK interviews Sir Richard Dalton, former British Ambassador to Iran.
Watch; British diplomat exposes Iran hysteria and Israel lobby Declassified UK, 26 June 2025
Richard Dalton; “There’s the effect of intense Israeli lobbying and the linkage of Israeli lobbying to financial interests, it is a very powerful force in our society, those who support the Israeli government through thick and thin have traditionally been very influential. I remember at the time of one of Israel’s invasions of Lebanon, David Cameron mentioning an encounter he’d had on the steps of a railway carriage with a prominent supporter of the state of Israel who was also a very prominent powerful British businessman, and he had had to say, I think this is 2010 as far as I remember, that no, there were limits to what we were prepared to support. But since those days Israeli influence and the influence of supporters of the government of Israel has got stronger and it has of course got powerful political allies in some political parties and in some sections of the media, so a desire for a quiet life and a good career means that many politicians swallow potential dislike of aspects of Israeli policy in order to toe the Israeli line.”
Mark Curtis; “And do you see evidence of the the strength of that pro-Israel lobby in British foreign policy-making even within government, within the Foreign Office, within the Ministry of Defence as well?”
Richard Dalton; “Yes, there’s no doubt that the Israeli public have a right to be proud of their diplomatic service and the ability of the state of Israel to leverage sources of influence within British society.”
Mark Curtis; “Does that raise questions then on democratic decision-making? On whose behalf are decisions being made by policy-makers? Are they being excessively influenced by a foreign power and at the moment a foreign power that is being accused of conducting a genocide?”
Richard Dalton; “Yes it does, and opinion polls in Britain show that the stances the British government has taken are not in accordance with majority opinion in Britain who increasingly see through Israeli claims to be conducting a moral war or a war for civilisation or a war as that dreadful German chancellor said doing dirty work on our behalf, that is sheer mendacious propaganda.
Mark Curtis; “What do you make of Keir Starmer backing the US, backing the Israelis in their attacks on Iran and not coming out and saying that these are violations of international law?”
Richard Dalton; “Well it’s been of a piece with his refusal to get involved publicly in whether or not Israel’s actions in Gaza represent infractions of international law or even war crimes.”
Keir Starmer; “I’m well aware of the definition of genocide and that is why I’ve never described this, and referred to it, as genocide.”
Richard Dalton; “We have been assured by Number Ten that as a lawyer himself Keir Starmer will always seek to stay within international law in what he says or does, but on the occasion of Israel’s and now the United States’ attack on Iran he has preferred to say nothing as he has done over Gaza. I believe this is a disservice to Britain and a disservice to the cause of preserving international law.”
Listen; Col Douglas Magregor: Trump and his war on Iran Judging Freedom, 24 June 2025
Douglas Macgregor; “I think President Trump is also very concerned about the state of affairs in Israel. No doubt he was told that the Israelis are on the verge of running out of missiles. Their economy is not just in ruins, it’s going to collapse. This man, Smotrich, who’s one of the more fierce advocates for mass murder in Gaza and elsewhere, actually spoke publicly and said, ‘we’ve got maybe a week left’. And now nobody in Israel will admit that, nobody certainly at the top. And then finally, there’s also the other possibility that nobody really has come to terms with right now, and that is the potential for Israel to become extinct as a state and a society through mass emigration. People are leaving and more people are likely to leave, in which case the 9 million state of 2 million Arabs and 7 million Jews will consist of 2 million Arabs and substantially fewer Jews. So I think Israel is in trouble and the notion that somehow or another they hold the high ground and hold all the cards is a little ridiculous.”
Judge Napolitano; “Is it true that the Israeli government is attempting to prevent people from leaving?”
Douglas Macgregor; ” Oh yes, there’s no doubt about that. I’ve had people tell me that point blank who sent me notes about it from Israel itself.”
Judge Napolitano; “Do you think that the so-called ceasefire, and I don’t mean to demean it, but if it’s not in writing, who knows what they agreed to, and as far as I know, there is no writing. Whatever President Trump announced before was requested by the Iranians or by Netanyahu crying uncle?”
Douglas Macgregor; “I think the Iranians have been advised by Putin and Lavrov to exercise restraint if possible, and if the opportunity presents itself to participate in something that will slow or halt the destruction, that they should do so. The Iranians, however, were not begging for a ceasefire, that’s nonsense, but the Israelis very definitely need one now. How long will this last? How rapidly can we replenish what they’ve fired? Somebody said to me late last night, the Israelis have probably fired off in terms of missiles in two weeks what will take two years to reconstitute. In other words, they haven’t got enough left to defend themselves and you’ve got 2 missiles to be fired in response to every one missile coming in.
Now, you can argue, as I have, that we’ve effectively started a war with Iran. But Iran thus far, since no one was killed and the targets that we attacked were irrelevant, has scrupulously avoided giving us an excuse to go to war against them. And I think that’s what happened with the attack on the airfield and the installations in Qatar, where we had already evacuated everyone and they did what we did for them, they let us know that it was coming. Now, there are a lot of people who are mis-interpreting events right now. They’re saying, ‘now all the Emirates will flock into our arms, they all hate Iran’ and so forth. There’s a problem in the region that we don’t get, and that is that everyone in the region hates Israel. That’s the problem, whatever goodwill there might have been, it’s gone now. What about the elites in the Emirates or Saudi Arabia? They are increasingly isolated from their populations. The populations are the ones who are enraged over Gaza and they’re angry that nothing has been done about it. You have a similar development, not as dangerous, but it’s serious in Turkey. The Turks are furious with what’s happened in Gaza and the absolute failure of the Muslim world, with the exception of Iran in their estimation, to do anything about it. We keep focusing exclusively on Iran. Iran is not the only issue here by any stretch of the imagination. This is a region-wide hate-fest now against Israel. The Israelis say, well, they always say this. Not on the scale that they do now.”
Judge Napolitano; “The President of the United States is on his way to Europe, to a NATO conference, the Secretary of State and his entourage apparently preceded him there. The official spokesperson for the Department of State had a very interesting statement to make about her role, her job, and her love of America. I thought you might be interested in watching this, you’re not going to like it.”
White House Spokesperson; “The pride of being able to be here and do work that facilitates making things better for people and in the greatest country on earth next to Israel. It’s an honour to be able to make a difference and to be able to speak in this regard with an administration that I love so much.”
Judge Napolitano ;”How does an official spokesperson for the government say something like that?”
Douglas Macgregor; “Well, I think the real question is why she’s got her job? Effectively everybody who’s serving in the administration in an appointed capacity understands that that is the prerequisite, the precondition for service in the government. Let’s be frank. And I always take people back to the Republican convention, I remember I was shocked when I was watching the convention and suddenly I saw this giant Israeli flag on the wall and above it Israel First, and this rather plump gentleman in a suit came out and said that he was there to lead cheers for Israel First, and I remember listening, he says Israel First, Israel First, and a lot of people looked at each other and said, ‘Gee, what is this?’ And I think people now know what it means, and you’ve got to accept what people tell you, she’s telling you what she knows to be the truth. That’s what is governing us right now in Washington.”
Judge Napolitano; “This is what $100 million from Mrs Adelson will get you.”
Douglas Macgregor; “Well, it’s, it’s more than these contributions. Everybody, first of all the Israelis, understand something very well, there’s nothing more reliable than a man that can be bought with cold, hard cash. All right, let’s face it, but that’s not enough, it’s more than that, it’s access to benefits that reach into the financial firms in New York City, into the market and across the country that can be provided to people who become serious acolytes like this woman that you just had on.
Nothing has changed in Gaza, people are still dying there every day. The Israelis continue to operate wherever they care to, to kill whomever they want. They just issued new threats against Iranian officers, against the officers and their families. Nothing has changed. This ceasefire, as you point out, is uncertain. It doesn’t represent a solution, it doesn’t suggest that there will be any talks or discussions that could lead to a solution. So we may be seeing a pause, something that lasts a few days, a few weeks, maybe a couple of months, but the fundamental problem is unchanged. The people in the region no longer believe that they can coexist with Israel. It’s that simple.”
Watch; Mohammad Marandi: Iran SMASHES Tel Aviv Before Ceasefire, Israel Just LOST Danny Haiphong, 24 June 2025
‘Prof. Mohammad Marandi joins from Iran to provide immediate reaction to the intense developments in the Israel-Iran war over last 24 hours, and explains why Iran just scored a major victory over the Israeli regime amid confusion spread by the Trump administration and its Israeli counterparts.’
Danny Haiphong; “So a lot has happened. There was the Iran, what many are saying is a symbolic attack on the US air base in Qatar. But over the last 24 hours, we saw Israeli media leaking out saying that they were seeking an end to the conflict. After the US air base attack by Iran we had an announcement of a ceasefire by Donald Trump, we had a massive missile attack on Beersheba and Tel Aviv and many surrounding areas, scores of Israelis killed, I believe there was 11 or 13, there’s conflicting reports, in one missile strike alone overnight. And now the ceasefire appears to be in effect, or please correct the record Professor Marandi, what has been going on and how do you see this?”
Mohammad Marandi; “Oh, you’re right. The Israeli regime was seeking a ceasefire even before Trump carried out his own aggression and his own active war against Iran. The Israeli regime began this unprovoked war with a blitzkrieg attack and the foolish belief that they could undermine Iran, defeat Iran. And although they scored some successes in the first hour, obviously when you carry out an act of aggression that’s unprovoked, you will have successes. They murdered a lot of innocent people, they murdered senior officials and their families and their neighbours, which of course is not important for the West or the Israeli regime, as we’ve seen in Gaza and Lebanon, but they failed. The Iranians regrouped, they started hammering Israeli cities, they started firing drones and missiles. And till the very end, the Iranians were firing lots of drones and lots of missiles, especially during the last 2-3 hours. It’s not a ceasefire agreement, the Iranians have said that we are halting fire and if the Israeli regime makes any move, we will restart the conflict. So I don’t know exactly what sort of technical term that would have, but the Iranians have warned the Israeli regime that if it fires at Iran, if it shoots at Iran, they’ll be hit back very hard. But I think it’s a failure for the regime, the United States and Israelis have not destroyed Iran’s nuclear programme. Iran has many scientists, a lot of its assets are intact, we’ll have to see what really happened in Fordow. And Iran has been provided an excuse not to cooperate with the IAEA like before anymore. And most importantly, I think this shows the vulnerability of the Israeli regime. For the first time ever, they’ve been hammered and hammered and hammered relentlessly, and Netanyahu was seeking a way out. The Iranians, of course, don’t want a regional war, they don’t want a global economic collapse, but they wanted to humiliate the regime and humiliate Netanyahu and I think that’s exactly what happened.”
Regime change in Iran has nothing to do with the nuclear program, it is geostrategic to secure Western hegemony; ‘But there is a lot of economic interest for the United States as far as the economic routes. Iran happens to be literally at the centre of this logistical hub for the trade from Asia, from China, from India and the ability basically to take full advantage of the international corridors going through Eurasia, going through the northern routes towards Russia and then access to Europe. So this is extremely valuable, especially within the context of the popularity of BRICS. And then of course, the discussions surrounding the move away from the dollar as a currency to trade where countries would be able to use their own currency to do business.’
Listen; Where is Tulsi? Patrick Henningsen, Midweek Wire, 20 June 2025
Arnaud Develay, Author, Lawyer; “I think it has to be clear for everyone at this stage that the US is not supporting Israel’s war against Iran because of an imminent nuclear threat. That’s just absolutely a plain lie. Let’s call a lie a lie. But there is a lot of economic interest for the United States as far as the economic routes, and Iran happens to be literally at the centre of this logistical hub for the trade from Asia, from China, from India and the ability basically to take full advantage of the international corridors going through Eurasia, going through the northern routes towards Russia and then access to Europe. So this is extremely valuable, especially within the context of the popularity of BRICS. And then of course, the discussions surrounding the move away from the dollar as a currency to trade where countries would be able to use their own currency to do business. This is not going to happen in a day. This is trillions worth of investment. But one thing we know for sure is Iran has a big role to play in that. And if you look at the route of the IMEC, the International Middle East Corridor, you will see that Israel has and wants to play an important role alongside Saudi Arabia to be the main access to Europe. And then notwithstanding, of course, the importance of Israel to be able to sell their natural gas to Europe as well. So all the pipeline projects, Cyprus, Greece, big support from the European Union, they don’t want to see Russia being strong and they don’t want to see Iran being strong and they don’t want to see China being strong because it’s not working for them. They have control and as you demonstrated quite clearly within the Congress and the Congress of course, that’s praised on the top job within the administration. So you don’t need to control everything. So the top jobs at the defence, at the trade, the agriculture and so on and so forth, and that’s what Israel, in my view is counting on is the United States desperation to control these trade routes and to undermine basically BRICS and the Chinese plan for this particular region, which is West Asia. And that’s why you had that all these conflicts, Syria, Lebanon, and now Iran. And of course, we all know this has always been a plan for a very long time to take out seven countries, one after the other.”
Read; You Cannot Negotiate with the zionist West; Craig Murray, 23 June 2025
‘Israel and the USA have each attacked Iran in the middle of negotiations. Iran must not fall for it a third time. Negotiation is dead. Israel attacked Iran during negotiations between Iran and the US, with the next scheduled meeting just three days away – including assassinating the lead negotiator. Trump then gave Iran a two-week ultimatum to agree a peace deal. Iran held one foreign minister level meeting with the UK, Germany and France and scheduled a second meeting. Trump then attacked Iran with 11 days of the ultimatum still to run. Plainly the zionist West not only has zero interest in peace, it is engaging in morally abhorrent levels of dishonesty and deception, attacking under a false flag of truce. The idea that Iran should now return to “negotiation” with such appallingly deceitful interlocutors is risible. It is also plain that the USA has no intention of stopping the attacks. Trump’s statement said that further attacks will follow unless Iran stops fighting. Plainly the objectives of the USA are not in truth merely the destruction of Iran’s nuclear programme, but total victory for Israel in the war it has started with Iran. Trump’s demand of “unconditional surrender” still stands and the aim remains, as I have stated, regime change to install the “Shah” with a Sunni Prime Minister. Zionist regimes have been installed in Lebanon and Syria in the last six months. They already existed in the Gulf states and Jordan. The aim to install a zionist regime in Tehran is overreach by Netanyahu and Trump. You cannot bomb the Iranian people into zionism.
The extent of bombing, and the extent of death, that would be required for regime change in Iran is astonishing. Contrary to neoliberal expectation but obvious to anyone with a brain, the attacks on Iran have rallied support for its government. I find nothing more nauseating than the Western “feminists” who are campaigning for war against Iran to bring about regime change.’
“We were in the middle of talks with the United States when the Israelis blew it up. And again we were in the middle of talks and negotiation with Europeans, happened only two days ago in Geneva, when this time Americans decided to blow it up.” Abbas Araghchi, Foreign Minister of Iran.
Listen; Bunker‑Buster Bombs Iran — Straight Out of a Top Gun Movie; UK Column News, 23 June 2025
Abbas Araghchi, Foreign Minister of Iran; “Iran condemns in the strongest terms the United States brutal military aggression against Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities. It is an outrageous, grave and unprecedented violation of the fundamental principles of the Charter of the United Nations and international law. Well, I think it is irrelevant to ask Iran to return to diplomacy because we were in the middle of diplomacy. We were in the middle of talks with the United States when Israelis blew it up. And again we were in the middle of talks and negotiation with Europeans, happened only two days ago in Geneva, when this time Americans decided to blow it up.”
Mike Robinson; “Absolutely accurate. Iranians were at the peace negotiations when they were attacked. No ifs or buts. Now the next piece of video clip is from Scott Ritter, an absolutely fantastic statement and analysis of what’s actually just taken place.”
Scott Ritter; “In marking the anniversary of German perfidy, the world was experiencing American perfidy, that America was involved in engaging in an illegal act of aggression against Iran. And the question is, is this the kind of new threat that we are talking about? And as an American, this new threat doesn’t manifest itself from Iran, it manifests itself from within. What are the traditional values of the United States? We are a nation defined by the rule of law as established by the Constitution. And when we speak of how we apply on the global scene, understand that the Constitution has in it a clause that says when the United States Senate has ratified a treaty that has been signed by the president, that becomes the law of the land, and I want to remind people that the United Nations Charter is a de facto treaty that has been ratified by the Senate of the United States, signed by the president of the United States, and therefore, United States is constitutionally obliged to comply with the laws that are set forth in the Charter. And one of the principal things is that there’s only two conditions under which a nation can go to war. A nation can go to war if the Security Council of the United Nations has enacted a Chapter 7 resolution under the Charter authorising military force to be used to resolve a specific threat to international peace and security. No such resolution exists today regarding Iran. The other one is that a nation can carry out legitimate self defence if they have been attacked or if they are confronted with the imminent threat of violence, they are allowed to pre-emptively act to eliminate the imminent threat, but then they are obligated to go to the Security Council to once again turn the situation over to the international body for ultimate resolution. The United States has not been attacked by Iran, and there’s nobody that can articulate the potential of such an attack. People who seek to do so by talking about Iran’s emergence as a nuclear threshold state forget that at the time of the Israeli attack and the American attack, Iran was at the negotiating table, negotiating a resolution to this issue that eliminated any notion of them not only being a threat, but an imminent threat.”
Mike Robinson; “A lot to discuss in that clip, but the key thing is he’s saying we need to look inside America for the problem and of course the same situation here in UK. We need to look inside UK to understand what is really happening, the decay inside UK that is then formenting these overseas wars. We’ll talk about this more in UK Column extra but let’s have a look at this last clip. This is Senator Bernie Sanders, who was speaking at a rally when he heard the news about the American strike. Listen to what he has to say and listen to the reaction of the audience.”
Bernie Sanders; “This is a statement, statement from Donald Trump. Quote, we have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran, (Boos from the crowd, chanting from the crowd, No More War, No More War, No More War) I agree. And I want to tell you something, not only is this news that I’ve just heard alarming, that all of you have just heard, but it is so grossly unconstitutional, all of you know that the only entity that can take this country to war is the US Congress. The president does not have the right.” (Cheers from the crowd.)
Mike Robinson; “So a senator here picking up on the key point, Trump is out of control, Keir Starmer is out of control. If we’re going to deal with the situation overseas, we’ve got to deal with what is going wrong inside our own countries, and we must not lose sight of that.”
An excellent history lesson in the West’s attack on Iran; ‘When Iranians elected the secular reformist Mohammed Mossadegh, a lawyer and intellectual, as prime minister in 1951, Britain and the US worked tirelessly to topple him. His chief crime was that he took back control of Iran’s oil industry – and its profits – from the UK. Within two years, Mossadegh was overthrown in US-led Operation Ajax, and the Shah re-installed as dictator. Israel was drafted in to train Iran’s Savak secret police in torture techniques to use on Iranian dissidents, learnt from torturing Palestinians. ‘.
Read; Israel’s attack on Iran: The violent new world being born is going to horrify you Jonathan Cook, 19 June 2025
‘Western politicians and media are tying themselves up in knots trying to spin the impossible: presenting Israel’s unmistakable war of aggression against Iran as some kind of “defensive” move. This time there was no rationalising pretext, as there was for Israel to inflict a genocide in Gaza following Hamas’ one-day attack on 7 October 2023. There was not a serious attempt beforehand to concoct a bogus doomsday scenario – as there was in the months leading up to the US and UK’s illegal invasion of Iraq in 2003. Then we were lied to about Baghdad having “weapons of mass destruction” that could be launched at Europe in 45 minutes. Rather, Iran was deep in negotiations with the United States on its nuclear enrichment programme when Israel launched its unprovoked attack last Friday. The West has happily regurgitated claims by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel was forced to act because Iran was on the cusp of producing a nuclear bomb – an entirely evidence-free claim he has been making since 1992. None of his dire warnings has ever been borne out by events. In fact, Israel struck Iran shortly after President Donald Trump had expressed hope of reaching a nuclear agreement with Tehran, and two days before the two countries’ negotiators were due to meet again. In late March Trump’s head of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, had expressly stated as part of the US intelligence community’s annual assessment: “Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme Leader [Ali] Khameini has not authorised a nuclear weapons programme he suspended in 2003.” This week four sources said to be familiar with that assessment told CNN that Iran was not trying to build a bomb but, if it changed tack, it would be “up to three years away from being able to produce and deliver one [a nuclear warhead] to a target of its choosing”. Nonetheless, by Tuesday this week Trump appeared to be readying to join Israel’s attack. He publicly rebuked his own intelligence chief’s verdict, sent US warplanes to the Middle East via the UK and Spain, demanded Iran’s “unconditional surrender”, and made barely veiled threats to kill Khameini.
‘Samson option’
Israel’s engineering of a pretext to attack Iran – defined by the Nuremberg tribunal in 1945 as the “supreme international crime” – has been many years in the making. The current talks between the US and Iran were only needed because, under intense Israeli pressure during his first term as president, Trump tore up an existing agreement with Tehran. That deal, negotiated by his predecessor, Barack Obama, had been intended to quieten Israel’s relentless calls for a strike on Iran. It tightly limited Tehran’s enrichment of uranium to far below the level where it could “break out” from its civilian energy programme to build a bomb. Israel, by contrast, has been allowed to maintain a nuclear arsenal of at least 100 warheads, while refusing – unlike Iran – to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and – again unlike Iran – denying access to monitors from the International Atomic Energy Agency. The West’s collusion in the pretence that Israel’s nuclear weapons are secret – a policy formally known in Israel as “ambiguity” – has been necessary only because the US is not allowed to provide military aid to a state with undeclared nuclear weapons. Israel is by far the largest recipient of such aid. No one – apart from incorrigible racists – believes Iran would take the suicidal step of firing a nuclear missile at Israel, even if it had one. That is not the real grounds for Israeli or US concern. Rather, the double standards are enforced to keep Israel as the only nuclear-armed state in the Middle East so that it can project unrestrained military power across an oil-rich region the West is determined to control. Israel’s bomb has left it untouchable and unaccountable, and ready to intimidate its neighbours with the “Samson option” – the threat that Israel will use its nuclear arsenal rather than risk an existential threat. Israel’s national security minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, appeared to imply just such a scenario against Iran this week in a reported comment: “There will be other difficult days ahead, but always remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki.” Bear in mind that Israeli governments count as “existential” any threat to Israel’s current status as a settler-colonial state, one occupying and forcibly uprooting the Palestinian people from their homeland. Israel’s nuclear weapons ensure it can do as it pleases in the region – including commit genocide in Gaza – without significant fear of reprisals.
War propaganda
The claim that Israel is “defending itself” in attacking Iran – promoted by France, Germany, Britain, the European Union, the G7 and the US – should be understood as a further assault on the foundational principles of international law. The assertion is premised on the idea that Israel’s attack was “pre-emptive” – potentially justified if Israel could show there was an imminent, credible and severe threat of an attack or invasion by Iran that could not be averted by other means. And yet, even assuming there is evidence to support Israel’s claim it was in imminent danger – there isn’t – the very fact that Iran was in the midst of talks with the US about its nuclear programme voided that justification. Rather, Israel’s contention that Iran posed a threat at some point in the future that needed to be neutralised counts as a “preventive” war – and is indisputably illegal under international law. Note the striking contrast with the West’s reaction to Russia’s so-called “unprovoked” attack on Ukraine just three years ago. Western capitals and their media were only too clear then that Moscow’s actions were unconscionable – and that severe economic sanctions on Russia, and military support for Ukraine, were the only possible responses. So much so that early efforts to negotiate a ceasefire deal between Moscow and Kyiv, premised on a Russian withdrawal, were stymied by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, presumably on Washington’s orders. Ukraine was instructed to fight on. Israel’s attack on Iran is even more flagrantly in violation of international law. Netanyahu, who is already a fugitive from the International Criminal Court, which wants to try him for committing crimes against humanity in Gaza by starving the population there, is now guilty of the “supreme international crime” too. Not that one would know any of this from listening to Western politicians or the billionaire-owned media. There, the narrative is once again of a plucky Israel, forced to act unilaterally; of Israel facing down an existential threat; of Israel being menaced by barbaric terrorists; of the unique suffering – and humanity – of Israel’s population; of Netanyahu as a strong leader rather than an out-and-out war criminal. It is the same, well-worn script, trotted out on every occasion, whatever the facts or circumstances. Which is clue enough that Western audiences are not being informed; they are being subjected to yet more war propaganda.
Regime change
But Israel’s pretexts for its war of aggression are a moving target – hard to grapple with because they keep changing. If Netanyahu started by touting an implausible claim that Iran’s nuclear programme was an imminent threat, he soon shifted to arguing that Israel’s war of aggression was also justified to remove a supposed threat from Iran’s ballistic missile programme. In the ultimate example of chutzpah, Israel cited as its evidence the fact that it was being hit by Iranian missiles – missiles fired by Tehran in direct response to Israel’s rain of missiles on Iran. Israel’s protestations at the rising death toll among Israeli civilians overlooked two inconvenient facts that should have underscored Israel’s hypocrisy, were the Western media not working so hard to obscure it. First, Israel has turned its own civilian population into human shields by placing key military installations – such as its spy agency and its defence ministry – in the centre of densely populated Tel Aviv, as well as firing its interception rockets from inside the city. Recall that Israel has blamed Hamas for the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza over the past 20 months based on the largely unevidenced claim that its fighters have been hiding among the population. Now that same argument can, and should, be turned against Israel. And second, Israel is all too obviously itself hitting residential areas in Iran – just as, of course, it did earlier by destroying almost all of Gaza’s buildings, including homes, hospitals, schools, universities and bakeries. Both Netanyahu and Trump have called on Iranians to “evacuate immediately” the city of Tehran – something impossible for most of its 10 million inhabitants to do in the time allowed. But their demand raises too the question of why, if Israel is trying to stop the development of an Iranian nuclear warhead, it is focusing so many of its attacks on residential areas of Iran’s capital. More generally, Israel’s argument that Tehran must be stripped of its ballistic missiles assumes that only Israel – and those allied with it – are allowed any kind of military deterrence capability. It seems not only is Iran not allowed a nuclear arsenal as a counter-weight to Israel’s nukes, but it is not even allowed to strike back when Israel decides to launch its US-supplied missiles at Tehran. What Israel is effectively demanding is that Iran be turned into a larger equivalent of the Palestinian Authority – a compliant, lightly armed regime completely under Israel’s thumb. Which gets to the heart of what Israel’s current attack on Iran is really designed to achieve. It is about instituting regime change in Tehran.
Trained in torture
Again, the Western media are assisting with this new narrative. Extraordinarily, TV politics shows such as the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg invited on as a guest Reza Pahlavi, the son of the Iranian shah ousted by the ayatollahs in 1979 to create an Islamic republic. He used the slot to call on Iranians to “rise up” against their leaders. The framing – an entirely Israeli confected one – is that Iranian society is desperate to throw off the yoke of Islamic dictatorship and return to the halcyon days of monarchical rule under the Pahlavis. It is a beyond-absurd analysis of modern Iran. Asking Pahlavi to discuss how Iran might be freed from clerical rule is the equivalent of inviting Josef Stalin’s grandson into the studio to discuss how he plans to lead a pro-democracy movement in Russia. In fact, the much-feared Pahlavis were only in power in 1979 – and in a position to be overthrown – because Israel, Britain and the US meddled deeply in Iran to keep them in place for so long. When Iranians elected the secular reformist Mohammed Mossadegh, a lawyer and intellectual, as prime minister in 1951, Britain and the US worked tirelessly to topple him. His chief crime was that he took back control of Iran’s oil industry – and its profits – from the UK. Within two years, Mossadegh was overthrown in US-led Operation Ajax, and the Shah re-installed as dictator. Israel was drafted in to train Iran’s Savak secret police in torture techniques to use on Iranian dissidents, learnt from torturing Palestinians. Predictably, the West’s crushing of all efforts to democratically reform Iran opened up a space for resistance to the Shah that was quickly occupied by Islamist parties instead. In 1979, these revolutionary forces overthrew the Western-backed dictator Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned from exile in Paris to found the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Crescent of resistance
Notably Khomeini’s successor as supreme leader, Ali Khameini, issued a religious edict in 2003 banning Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. He considered it a violation of Islamic law. Which is why Iran has been so reluctant to develop a bomb, despite Israel’s endless provocations and claims to the contrary. What Iran has done instead is two things that are the real trigger for Israel’s war of aggression. First, it developed the best alternative military strategy it could muster to protect itself from Israeli and Western belligerence – a belligerence related to Iran’s refusal to serve as a client of the West, as the Shah once had, rather than the issue of human rights under clerical rule. Iran’s leaders understood they were a target. Iran has huge reserves of oil and gas, but unlike the neighbouring Gulf regimes it is not a puppet of the West. It can also shut down the Strait of Hormuz, the main gateway for the flow of oil and gas to the West and Asia. And as a Shia-led state (in contrast to the Sunni Islam that dominates much of the rest of the Middle East), Iran has a series of co-religionist communities across the region – in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and elsewhere – with which it has developed strong ties. For example, with Iran’s help, Hezbollah in Lebanon built up a large stockpile of rockets and missiles close to Israel’s border. That was supposed to deter Israel from trying to attack and occupy Lebanon again, as it did for two decades from the early 1980s through to 2000. But it also meant that any longer-range attack by Israel on Iran would prove risky, exposing it to a barrage of missiles on its northern border. Ideologues in Washington, known as the neoconservatives, who are keenly supportive of Israeli hegemony in the Middle East, deeply opposed what came to be seen as “the axis of resistance“. The neocons, seeking a way to crush Iran, quickly exploited the 9-11 attacks on the Twin Towers in New York in 2001 as an opportunity to erode Iranian power. General Wesley Clark was told at the Pentagon in the days after the attack that the US had come up with a plan to “take out seven countries in five years“. Notably, even though most of the hijackers who crashed planes into the Twin Towers were from Saudi Arabia, the Pentagon’s list of targets centrally featured members of the so-called “Shia crescent”. All have been attacked since. As Clark noted, the seventh and final state on that list – the hardest to take on – is Iran.
Show of strength
Israel’s other concern was that Iran and its allies, unlike the Arab regimes, had proved steadfast in their support for the Palestinian people against decades of Israeli occupation and oppression. Iran’s defiance on the Palestinian cause was underscored during Trump’s first presidency, when Arab states began actively normalising with Israel through the US-brokered Abraham accords, even as the plight of the Palestinians worsened under Israeli rule. Infuriatingly for Israel, Iran and the late Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasarallah became the main flagbearers of popular support for the Palestinians – among Muslims across the board. With the Palestinian Authority largely quiescent by the mid-2000s, Iran channelled its assistance to Hamas in besieged Gaza, the main Palestinian group still ready to struggle against Israeli apartheid rule and ethnic cleansing. The result was a tense stability of sorts, with each side restraining itself in a Middle Eastern version of “mutually assured destruction”. Neither side had an incentive to risk an all-out attack for fear of the severe consequences. That model came to an abrupt end on 7 October 2023, when Hamas decided its previous calculations needed reassessing. With the Palestinians feeling increasingly isolated, choked by Israel’s siege and abandoned by the Arab regimes, Hamas staged a show of force, breaking out for one day from the concentration camp of Gaza. Israel seized the opportunity to complete two related tasks: destroying the Palestinians as a people once and for all, and with it their ambitions for a state in their homeland; and rolling back the Shia crescent, just as the Pentagon had planned more than 20 years earlier. Israel started by levelling Gaza – slaughtering and starving its people. Then it moved to destroy Hezbollah’s southern heartlands in Lebanon. And with the collapse of the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad, Israel was able to occupy parts of Syria, smash what remained of its military infastructure, and clear a flight path to Iran. These were the preconditions for launching the current war of aggression on Iran.
‘Birth pangs’
Back in 2006, as Israel was bombing swaths of Lebanon in an earlier attempt to realise the Pentagon’s plan, Condoleezza Rice, the then US secretary of state, prematurely labelled Israel’s violence as the “birth pangs of a new Middle East”. What we have been witnessing over the past 20 months of Israel’s slow rampage towards Iran is precisely a revival of those birth pangs. Israel and the US are jointly remaking the Middle East through extreme violence and the eradication of international law. Success for Israel can come in one of two ways. Either it installs a new authoritarian ruler in Tehran, like the Shah’s son, who will do the bidding of Israel and the US. Or Israel leaves the country so wrecked that it devolves into violent factionalism, too taken up with civil war to expend its limited energies on developing a nuclear bomb or organising a “Shia crescent” of resistance. But ultimately this is about more than redrawing the map of the Middle East. And it is about more than toppling the rulers in Tehran. Just as Israel needed to take out Hamas, Hezbollah and Syria before it could consider clearing a path to Iran’s destruction, the US and its Western allies needs the axis of resistance eradicated, as well as Russia bogged down in an interminable war in Ukraine, before it can consider taking on China.
Or as the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz noted this week, in one of those quiet-part-out-loud moments: “This [the attack on Iran] is the dirty work Israel is doing for all of us.” This is a key moment in the Pentagon’s 20-year plan for “global full-spectrum dominance”: a unipolar world in which the US is unconstrained by military rivals or the imposition of international law. A world in which a tiny, unaccountable elite, enriched by wars, dictate terms to the rest of us. If all this sounds like a sociopath’s approach to foreign relations, that is because it is. Years of impunity for Israel and the US have brought us to this point. Both feel entitled to destroy what remains of an international order that does not let them get precisely what they want. The current birth pangs will grow. If you believe in human rights, in limits on the power of government, in the use of diplomacy before military aggression, in the freedoms you grew up with, the new world being born is going to horrify you.’
‘The US and Israel don’t oppose Iran getting nukes because they fear a nuclear attack by irrational tyrants, nor because they worry about Iran giving nukes to terrorist factions. They oppose Iran getting nukes because then all their regime change agendas go right out the window. This isn’t actually about nukes, it’s about toppling Tehran so that the US and Israel can dominate the Middle East. It’s about regional hegemony and geostrategic control, and nothing else.’
Watch or Read; Mike Huckabee Is A Deranged Armageddon Cultist by Caitlin Johnstone, 18 June 2025
‘Nuclear weapons and doomsday cultism are poor bedfellows.’
‘President Trump has shared a text message that was sent to him by Mike Huckabee, the deranged Christian zionist who serves as the current US ambassador to Israel, and it is one of the creepiest things I have ever seen in my life. The text reads as follows:
“Mr President, God spared you in Butler, PA to be the most consequential President in a century — maybe ever. The decisions on your shoulders I would not want to be made by anyone else. You have many voices speaking to you Sir, but there is only ONE voice that matters. HIS voice. I am your appointed servant in this land and am available for you but I do not try to get in your presence often because I trust your instincts. No President in my lifetime has been in a position like yours. Not since Truman in 1945. I don’t reach out to persuade you. Only to encourage you. I believe you will hear from heaven and that voice is far more important than mine or ANYONE else’s. You sent me to Israel to be your eyes, ears and voice and to make sure our flag flies above our embassy. My job is to be the last one to leave. I will not abandon this post. Our flag will NOT come down! You did not seek this moment. This moment sought YOU! It is my honor to serve you! Mike Huckabee”
There are so many weird, creepy things about this message. The intensity, the religious fanaticism, the groveling, self-debasing obsequiousness, clearly designed to appeal to Trump’s enormous ego. But by far the most disturbing part was the reference to Truman in 1945 — a nod to the last and only time a national leader used nuclear weapons against an enemy state. Trump claims to have experienced a religious transformation after surviving an assassination attempt last year. Nuclear weapons and doomsday cultism are poor bedfellows. I really hope this is just some bizarre madman diplomacy and not an accurate reflection of something that is actually occurring inside the president’s mind as he pushes toward direct confrontation with Iran. The US and Israel don’t oppose Iran getting nukes because they fear a nuclear attack by irrational tyrants, nor because they worry about Iran giving nukes to terrorist factions. They oppose Iran getting nukes because then all their regime change agendas go right out the window. This isn’t actually about nukes. It’s about toppling Tehran so that the US and Israel can dominate the Middle East. It’s about regional hegemony and geostrategic control, and nothing else. They’d be pushing for regime change in Iran whether they believed Iran was seeking a nuke or not.
How fucking stupid do you have to believe the lies about Iran? It’s just a much dumber, much more obvious version of the Iraq war narratives, pushed by a much dumber, much more obvious US president with the benefit of having watched it all happen before. At least with the Iraq invasion Bush had a year and a half of soaring approval where he got to posture as the Good Guy protecting Americans from the Bad Guys. This time it’s been a year and a half of the US backing history’s first live-streamed genocide, with Israel essentially telling the world “WE’RE HITLER, WE’RE THE NEW NAZIS, WE KILL KIDS” for 20 months, and now they’re getting ready to say that THIS is what US soldiers need to go fight and die for? Come ON people. It’s the same movie. They barely even changed the name, they just switched the Q to an N. There is no excuse for failing to see what’s happening here. A new Economist/YouGov poll found that only 16 percent of Americans currently support a US war with Iran. Most Americans oppose such a war, including a majority of Trump supporters. People advocating regime change interventionism in Iran are arguing that the US needs to ignore the will of its own electorate in the name of spreading democracy. There are no anti-war Trump supporters; if you’re still supporting Trump, you’re not anti-war. There are no anti-war Republicans; if you’re still a member of the Republican Party, you’re not anti-war. If you got scammed by Trump’s anti-war schtick that’s one thing, but it’s another thing entirely if you’re still buying into the scam after being taken by the hand and carefully shown that it’s a scam in excruciating detail throughout Trump’s second term. If you supported Trump because you thought he was anti-war, the time is now to completely wash your hands of him and firmly take your stand against him. If you stood with the Republicans because you thought they were less warmongering than the Democrats, it’s time to leave the party and join the actual anti-war movement. If you’re not willing to do either of these things, it’s time to stop pretending you don’t love war. I don’t feel the same disdain toward people who got scammed by Trump’s fake antiwar schtick that I see others expressing. I understand it, but I don’t feel it. We live in an information ecosystem teeming with propaganda and deception, and people are going to get confused.
There’s no shame in being deceived. There IS shame in deceiving. There IS shame in continuing to support a warmonger after you discover that you were deceived about him. But BEING deceived in and of itself is no crime. That’s why the perpetrator goes to jail in fraud cases and not the victims. Mark Twain said “It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled,” and it’s SO true. As social animals, humans are so dominated by the need to conform to our tribal loyalties that we’ve got psychological barriers to admitting that our tribe/faction got things wrong. And as social animals, shame is a powerful driving force in our psychological lives, because we’re afraid of being seen as deficient by other humans. But it’s irrational for us to view those who are deceived as deficient, and it’s irrational to feel shame about having gotten something wrong. I’ve gotten lots of things wrong over the years. I’m sure there are some things I’m still getting wrong. Being willing to see you got it wrong is the essential first step to getting it right. Always being open to the possibility that you could be wrong is necessary to forming a truth-based relationship with reality. If you were duped by the MAGA scam, that’s okay. Just take what you learned and start working on re-orienting yourself toward truth. You know what’s false, so now you can start working on finding out what’s true. And you can start constructing a new worldview accordingly.’

Ben Norton; “The core of BRICS and the SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organisation), is the alliance between China, Russia and Iran. And this is why the US has been so desperate to break up this alliance. This is why NATO, which is led by the US, has been waging a proxy war against Russia in Ukraine for years. And This is why Donald Trump has made it very clear that he’s trying to divide Russia and China. He wants the US to improve relations with Russia in order to isolate China as part of the US empire’s divide and conquer strategy. Listen to Trump admit it openly here.
Trump; “You never want Russia and China uniting. We united them. It’s a shame the stupidity of what they’ve done. I’m going to have to un- unite them and I can think I can do that too. I have to un-unite them.”
Ben Norton; “And it’s not just Iran that’s the target. Iran is the medium-term goal, the long- term goal of the US empire, the target is China, the US goal is to isolate China by overthrowing all of its major allies. And this was admitted basically by the CEO of Palantir, which is one of the most powerful contractors of the US military and the CIA. The CEO of Palantir is Alex Karp, and he’s a close ally of Donald Trump, and he admitted in an interview in 2024 that the US is ‘very likely’ to fight a three-front war against China, Russia and Iran. That was stated clearly by the CEO of Palantir. And he has a lot of insider knowledge because, again, Palantir is one of the most powerful U.S. government contractors. And by the way, the New York Times reported in May that Donald Trump is using Palantir to carry out mass surveillance of Americans, to compile data, to create big files on all Americans. So Palantir is directly complicit in mass surveillance, Big Brother- style mass surveillance of all Americans on behalf of the US government.
Palantir is basically an outsourced arm of the CIA and the Pentagon. In fact, Palantir originally received seed money from the CIA. It was partially a CIA creation and one of the co-founders of Palantir is the far right billionaire oligarch Peter Thiel who also funded the political campaign of JD Vance, the US Vice president. JD Vance worked for Peter Thiel at his venture capital firm in Silicon Valley. So all of these US corporations are invested in a war on Iran and China. China is their main goal because China is the only country powerful enough to challenge the dominance of the US empire, not only militarily, but more so economically and politically. And this was all spelled out clearly by the late US imperial strategist Zbigniew Brzezinski, who formerly served as the US National Security Advisor under U.S. President Jimmy Carter. In 1997 Brzezinski published a very influential book titled ‘The Grand Chess Board, American Primacy and It’s Geostrategic Imperatives’. This was published a few years after the overthrow of the Soviet Union, and in this book Brzezinski discussed ways in which the US empire could maintain its unipolar dominance of the entire planet. He was very concerned about the possibility of alliances of countries that could challenge the global dictatorship of the US Empire. In the 1990’s the US empire controlled basically everything in the world and the US empire imposed its policies on everyone at the barrel of a gun. It was a global US-dominated dictatorship. And in this book Brzezinski warned that the most dangerous scenario would be a grand coalition of China, Russia and perhaps Iran. An ‘anti-hegemonic coalition united not by ideology but by complimentary grievances’. And that essentially is what we see today is a kind of loose coalition between China, Russia and Iran. This is why the CEO of the CIA-backed Trump- linked company Palantir is saying very clearly that the US empire is preparing for a war against Russia, China and Iran. The US has already been waging a proxy war against Russia for a few years in Ukraine. Now the US and Israel are waging war against Iran. The US empire is using Israel as its vicious attack dog to wage war on Iran, and China is the main target. So the US-Israeli war on Iran, it’s not just about West Asia, it’s not just about Palestine, this is about the strategy of US empire to try to maintain global domination and to divide and conquer. It’s an age-old strategy, divide and conquer. This is a truly global conflict and is a perfect symbol of what we see today in the 21st century with the emerging multipolar world order. The US empire is doing everything it can just try to strangle the multipolar baby in its crib to prevent the world from becoming more multipolar, to prevent the global South from truly decolonising not only politically like it’s in the fifties, sixties and seventies, but also economically by challenging neo-colonialism. The US empire is desperate to try to save the decline of its hegemony and go back to the unipolar world that we had in the 1990s and early 2000s when there were no other superpowers that could challenge the global dictatorship of the US empire, which is what it was. It was a global political and economic dictatorship controlled by the US, and any country that resisted the US, like Cuba and Venezuela and Iran, was punished with sanctions, with blockades, with regime change attempts, with colour revolution attempts and with war. That’s why we see this war today that the US is using Israel to wage against Iran, that’s why the US is waging a proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. And that’s why the US is preparing for war on China, which is the ultimate goal of the new Cold War being waged by the US because China is the only country powerful enough to challenge the global dictatorship of the US empire.”

Watch; Promises kept – The Grayzone live The Grayzone, 14 June 2025
Max Blumenthal and Aaron Maté discuss Israel’s unprovoked assault on Iran, in which it assassinated numerous high level military commanders and nuclear scientists, while killing scores of civilians, and cover Iran’s punishing retaliation as it enacts True Promise III. Where is the war going? And should Iran finally move toward a nuclear weapon?
Aaron Maté́́; ” Israel is pathologically committed to aggression and supremacy, and so them bringing their barbarism to Iran is, as you said, not a surprise. Iran is the major force in the region that deters Israeli aggression, and so they were always on the Israeli-US target list. Looking back now, all this talk from Trump about diplomacy with Iran and trying to reach a deal that was just used as a ruse, as a smokescreen to prepare for something like this and from what we can glean from all the reporting so far, especially what’s coming out of Israel, Trump was in on it, Trump was in on Netanyahu’s plan to attack Iran and to try to go after regime change, and as we’re going to air right now, one of the latest Israeli attacks on Iran has targeted gas fields, which is civilian infrastructure, has nothing to do with nuclear weapons, which again is a fake pretext because Iran doesn’t have a nuclear weapons programme. But energy, gas fields? That’s an attempt to try to cripple Iran’s economy and why they want to do that is because they want regime change. That’s ultimately their goal, that’s what they’re pursuing and that’s what all this is about.
You had all these Israeli officials saying anonymously that the Americans are basically in on it, that Trump was part of the deception. That was the message, but I think you’re totally right here that Israelis are so cynical and given that this has only come from the Israeli side, so far there hasn’t been a US source confirming that US actively took part in a deception operation, even though it does look like they did from the outset. I mean, how can you look at their actions and conclude something different? But I think it’s fair to not rule out the possibility that this is exactly what you said it was, that Israel is trying to basically implicate Trump even more than he already is implicated in order to provoke Iran, to get Iran to attack the US, which would then draw the US, and I think that’s a really important possibility to raise. And look, Netanyahu also in his speech announcing the attack on Iran Thursday night, he went out of his way to thank Donald Trump.”
Netanyahu; ” I want to thank President Trump for his leadership in confronting Iran’s nuclear weapons programme. He has made clear time and again that Iran cannot have a nuclear enrichment programme. Today, it is clear that Iran is just buying for time. It refuses to agree to this basic requirement of peaceful nations.”
Aaron Maté́́; “The requirement of peaceful nations who sign on to the non proliferation Treaty is that they have the right to peaceful enrichment for domestic civilian purposes. That’s what Iran insists on. The right Netanyahu is saying that Iran insisting on is trying to flout international line and go towards a nuclear weapon. So it’s a total perversion of reality. But he went out of his way to thank Donald Trump and he has every reason to thank Trump because Trump gave him the green light. And I agree that he also could be trying to provoke Iran to go after US assets so Trump could help out Netanyahu even more than he already has by being a direct participant in this war on Iran.”
Read; Analysis of the Israel-Iran War by Mark H. Gaffney Global Research Meryl Nass, 19 June 2025
‘This is one analysis of the Israel-Iranian war. From all my reading, Mark Gaffney is correct about Iran having sufficient missiles and launchers to mount a long war, which Israel is not prepared for. Furthermore, I agree with him that American airpower is insufficient to win wars, starting with Vietnam. Great terror weapon, can destroy infrastructure. What he does not say is that it is immoral and against international law to suddenly make war on another country. We know the “nuclear bomb” excuse is bullshit. We know this is about taking over a large and wealthy country’s resources via “regime change”—except it usually does not work, the taxpayer pays, the local civilians pay dearly, the US military servicemembers pay and only the military industrial complex wins. Even little Israel (as we knew it) is likely to end after this mess. It is the mouse that roared once too often.

Read; Israel Ramps Up Strikes on Gaza, Killing 103 Palestinians Over 24 Hours by Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com, 29 June 2025
‘Gaza’s Health Ministry said Thursday that Israeli attacks killed 103 Palestinians and wounded 219 over the previous 24-hour period as US-backed Israeli strikes ramped up across the Strip over the past day. The Health Ministry’s numbers account for dead and wounded Palestinians brought to hospitals and morgues. “There are still a number of victims under the rubble and on the streets, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them,” the ministry wrote on Telegram. Israeli attacks on Thursday included more killings of Palestinians seeking aid. According to Al Jazeera, at least three people were killed while waiting near a distribution site run by the US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in the Netzarim Corridor, which separates northern Gaza from the rest of the Strip.
The Associated Press reported that 18 people were killed by an Israeli airstrike on a crowd of people in central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah who were receiving aid from a Palestinian police unit that confiscated goods from gangs that looted aid trucks. The security unit, known as Sahm, is run by the Hamas-led Interior Ministry but includes other factions, including tribal groups. Witnesses told AP that the Sahm was handing out bags of flour and other goods when the strike hit the crowd. According to hospital officials, the bombing killed at least one child and seven members of the security unit. Israel has backed a gang in southern Gaza that was responsible for significant aid looting last year. The strike on the security unit came after Israeli officials announced a halt to aid shipments over claims that Hamas was stealing aid, which has been denied by Palestinian clans in Gaza, who say armed men seen on aid trucks were providing security against looting. Israeli strikes also pounded other targets across the Strip, and photos and videos from Gaza show many children among the dead and wounded.
Medical sources told Al Jazeera that at least 15 people were killed in two separate Israeli attacks on Gaza City, including nine who were killed in the bombing of a school-turned-shelter for displaced Palestinians. In Khan Younis, Southern Gaza, at least nine people were killed by strikes on a tent encampment, and five were killed by the bombing of a car.
Kemi Badenoch, an extreme, hysterical zionist, accidentally admits that both Ukraine and Israel are our proxy wars. “Israel is fighting a proxy war [in Gaza] on behalf of the UK.”
Read; Badenoch blurts out the truth: Britain is at the heart of Gaza ‘proxy war’ by Jonathan Cook, 2 June 2025
‘If you have spent the past 20 months wondering why British leaders on both sides of the aisle have barely criticised Israel, even as it slaughtered and starved Gaza’s population of more than two million people, you finally got an answer last week. Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch said the quiet part out loud. She told Sky: “Israel is fighting a proxy war [in Gaza] on behalf of the UK.” According to Badenoch, the UK – and presumably in her assessment, other Western powers – aren’t just supporting Israel against Hamas. They are willing that fight and helping to direct it. They view that fight as centrally important to their national interests. This certainly accords with what we have witnessed over more than a year and a half. Both the current Labour government of Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and its Tory predecessor under Rishi Sunak, have been unwavering in their commitment to send British arms to Israel, while also shipping weapons from the United States and Germany to help with the slaughter. Both governments used the Royal Air Force base Akrotiri in Cyprus to carry out surveillance flights to aid Israel with locating targets to hit in Gaza. Both allowed British citizens to travel to Israel to take part as soldiers in the Gaza genocide. Neither government joined South Africa’s case at the International Court of Justice, which found more than a year ago that Israel’s actions could “plausibly” be considered a genocide. And neither government proposed or tried to impose alongside other Western states, as happened in other recent “wars”, a no-fly zone over Gaza to stop Israel’s murderous assault, or organised with others to break Israel’s blockade and get aid into the enclave. In other words, both governments steadfastly maintained their material support for Israel, even if Starmer recently toned down rhetorical support after images of emaciated babies and young children in Gaza – reminiscent of images of Jewish children in Nazi death camps like Auschwitz – shocked the world. If Badenoch is right that the UK is waging a proxy war in Gaza, it means that both British governments are directly responsible for the huge death toll of Palestinian civilians – running into many tens of thousands, and possibly hundreds of thousands – from Israel’s saturation bombing. It also makes it indisputable that the UK is complicit in the current mass starvation of more than two million people there, which is indeed what Badenoch went on to imply in the coded language of political debate. In reference to Starmer’s recent, and very belated, criticism of Israel’s starvation of Gaza’s entire population, she observed: “What I want to see is Keir Starmer making sure that he is on the right side of British national interest.” According to Badenoch, Starmer’s implied threat – so far entirely unrealised – to limit the UK’s active collusion in the genocidal starvation of the people of Gaza could harm Britain’s national interests. How exactly?”

Read; New Data Suggest The Death-Toll From The Gaza Genocide Is Much Higher Than Previously Listed The Dissident, 24 June 2025
‘A New Study Shows That 377,000 Palestinians Are Unaccounted For.’
‘A new Harvard study written by Israeli scholar Yaakov Garb, an Associate Professor at Ben Gurion University , suggests that the death toll from the Gaza genocide is far higher than what was previously reported.The official death toll from the genocide, 64,000 people, is widely seen to be an undercount. A study from the Lancet medical journal from last year found that when projected indirect deaths are included, the death toll from the genocide would reach 186,000 people. However, Yaakov Garb’s study exposing how Israel is using aid to further their ethnic cleansing goals in Gaza contains data that implies that 377,000 Palestinians are unaccounted for by the IDF. The study showcased a photo containing “grey blotches” showing “very approximate indications of the three enclaves of Gazan populations, with IDF estimates of the number of people for each.” The image was sourced from “the population estimates in the enclaves from IDF sources reported in the media”. It showed that 1 million residents are in Gaza City, 0.35 million are in central Gaza, and 0.5 million are in Mawasi, coming to a total of 1.85 million people.
Pictured above: Image from the study showing IDF population numbers in the three populated areas of Gaza.
The disturbing part about this figure, as researcher Maximillian noted in Medium, is that “The total of these official estimates is 1.85 million people” but “before the conflict, the population of the Gaza Strip was approximately 2.227 million”.
As Maximillian noted, “Simple arithmetic reveals a horrifying gap: 2.227 million minus 1.85 million leaves 377,000 people unaccounted for.”
Watch; Starvation and Profiteering in Gaza (w/ Francesca Albanese) | The Chris Hedges Report 25 June 2025
Chris Hedges; “When the history of the genocide in Gaza is written, one of the most courageous and outspoken champions for justice and adherence to international law will be Francesca Albanese the Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in the Palestinian Territories. Albanese is an Italian legal scholar and has held the position of UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in the Palestinian Territories since 2022. Her office is tasked with monitoring and reporting on human rights violations that Israel commits against Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. Albanese, who receives death threats and endures well-orchestrated smear campaigns directed by Israel and its allies, valiantly seeks to hold those who support and sustain the genocide accountable. She lambasts what she calls the moral and political corruption of the world for the genocide. Her office has issued detailed reports documenting the war crimes committed by Israel in Gaza and the West Bank, one of which ‘Genocide as Colonial Erasure’ I reprinted as an appendix in my latest book ‘A Genocide Foretold’. She is at work on a new report exposing the banks, pension funds, tech companies and universities that are aiding and abetting Israel’s violations of international law, human rights and war crimes. She has informed private organisations that they are criminally liable for assisting Israel in carrying out the genocide.”
Francesca Albanese;” The situation in Gaza has gone so so rotten, so horrible that I really don’t have the words to describe it anymore. I remember that when I had the first reports about cases of starvation it was last year primarily in Northern Gaza which by the way is completely cut off. Our understanding of what’s going on in Gaza, the misery that we see is in the South of Gaza, the North is completely obscured. But when I received the first reports on starvation I remember people from Gaza saying ‘we are turning into monsters’ and this is something that I hear more and more from people, the hunger is so much, it’s so widespread, so profound that it is turning people into a stage of pre-humanity and this is what happens to people who experience this brutality, that they they are forced, they are pushed back into into a space which predates civilisation, and this is strategic, this is intentional from Israel, it’s a stain for all of us, how can we let it happen, why European states, why Arab states have not sent their navies yet to to to break the blockade? It must be done, it’s an obligation that’s an act of charity, they must break the siege and it’s already too late, the situation in Gaza it’s devastating.
I never stop talking about Gaza, the West Bank, the Palestinians because I think I’m like many, I carry a wound right now, it’s something that I would have never wanted to see happening again. I am also from a generation who read about the genocide in Rwanda, I have vivid memories of the genocide in Bosnia and seeing the genocide of the Palestinians happening like in slow motion and being the chronicler of this genocide has irreparably wounded me, but it’s okay but my only form of healing is by making sure that people wake up and realise that this carries the fingerprints of all of us, and when I say that I’m not using a hyperbole, it’s real because when you see the profits that companies registered in Western countries and others are making out of the genocide of the Palestinians, you lose hope in humanity for good, and it’s true that we have not managed to save lives but we don’t know in fact, because I do believe that had Israel been left free handed it would have already cleansed Gaza of the Palestinians, while in fact by denouncing what Israel is doing we are contributing to make sure that Palestine doesn’t disappear from the maps because somewhere inside me I have this sense that the sacrifice of the Palestinians in Gaza will continue unless there is an arms embargo and unless the siege is broken and it cannot happen without coercive measures. The only way to protect Israel, to ensure that Israel is protected is by stopping Israel. Israel is harmful to the Palestinians, to the region, is harmful to many of us and is harmful to itself and its citizens. This is something that Israelis must understand. I have a lot of pain for the Israelis themselves because I think that they must be traumatised to the point that they have lost their humanity and I can just think of a huge form of healing both for the Palestinians and Israelis, but again I don’t know, surely we have not saved the lives but we have contributed to show the real face of Israel’s apartheid.”
Starved for Peace – by Mr. Fish
Read; Gaza’s Hunger Games; Chris Hedges, 30 June 2025
— Chris Hedges (@ChrisLynnHedges) June 29, 2025
‘Israel’s weaponisation of starvation is how genocides always end. I covered the insidious effects of orchestrated starvation in the Guatemalan Highlands during the genocidal campaign of Gen. Efraín Ríos Montt, the famine in southern Sudan that left a quarter of a million dead — I walked past the frail and skeletal corpses of families lining roadsides — and later during the war in Bosnia when Serbs cut off food supplies to enclaves such as Srebrencia and Goražde. Starvation was weaponised by the Ottoman Empire to decimate the Armenians. It was used to kill millions of Ukrainians in the Holodomor in 1932 and 1933. It was employed by the Nazis against the Jews in the ghettos in World War II. German soldiers used food, as Israel does, like bait. They offered three kilograms of bread and one kilogram of marmalade to lure desperate families in the Warsaw Ghetto onto transports to the death camps. “There were times when hundreds of people had to wait in line for several days to be ‘deported,'” Marek Edelman writes in “The Ghetto Fights.” “The number of people anxious to obtain the three kilograms of bread was such that the transports, now leaving twice daily with 12,000 people, could not accommodate them all.” And when crowds became unruly, as in Gaza, the German troops fired deadly volleys that ripped through emaciated husks of women, children and the elderly.
This tactic is as old as warfare itself. The report in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, that Israeli soldiers are ordered to shoot into crowds of Palestinians at aid hubs, with 580 killed and 4,216 wounded, is not a surprise. It is the predictable denouement of the genocide, the inevitable conclusion to a campaign of mass extermination. Israel, with its targeted assassinations of at least 1,400 health care workers, hundreds of United Nations (U.N.) workers, journalists, police and even poets and academics, its obliteration of multi-story apartment blocks wiping out dozens of families, its shelling of designated “humanitarian zones” where Palestinians huddle under tents, tarps or in the open air, its systematic targeting of U.N. food distribution centers, bakeries and aid convoys or its sadistic sniper fire that guns down children, long ago illustrated that Palestinians are regarded as vermin worthy only of annihilation.
The blockade of food and humanitarian aid, imposed on Gaza since March 2, is reducing Palestinians to abject dependence. To eat, they must crawl towards their killers and beg. Humiliated, terrified, desperate for a few scraps of food, they are stripped of dignity, autonomy and agency. This is by intent.

Read; Israeli Soldiers Ordered to Fire on Aid-Seekers in Gaza; by Kyle Anzalone, Antiwar.com; 29 June 2025
‘Israeli soldiers speaking with Haaretz say they received orders to fire on desperate Palestinians attempting to reach aid distribution sites in Gaza. Over 550 Palestinians have been killed trying to get aid in the past month. “Israeli soldiers in Gaza told Haaretz that the army has deliberately fired at Palestinians near aid distribution sites,” the outlet explains. “Conversations with officers and soldiers reveal that commanders ordered troops to shoot at crowds to drive them away or disperse them, even though it was clear they posed no threat.” Earlier this week, the Gaza Health Ministry reported that 549 Palestinians have been killed and over 4,000 injured since Israel restarted aid distribution near the end of May. The IDF has even fired on Palestinians waiting to receive aid with drones and tanks.
One soldier explained to Haaretz, “It’s a killing field.” They added that the Israeli soldiers fired at the Palestinians even though the aid seekers did not present a threat. An officer told the outlet, “It’s neither ethically nor morally acceptable for people to have to reach, or fail to reach, a [humanitarian zone] under tank fire, snipers and mortar shells.” A doctor in Gaza speaking to NBC News about the aid sites in Gaza said, “It’s a death trap, it’s a slaughterhouse.” They report receiving dozens of patients daily who were wounded near the aid sites. Haaretz reports that Israeli forces opened fire at Palestinians near aid sites at least 19 times over the past month. Soldiers said some Palestinian militias backed by Tel Aviv have also fired on civilians, including the ISIS-linked Abu Shabab.
On Thursday, at least 18 Palestinians were killed by an Israeli air strike while attempting to receive aid that the Gaza police had recovered from looters. At the beginning of March, Tel Aviv broke a ceasefire and hostage exchange deal with Hamas by cutting off all aid entering the Strip. Near the end of May, Israel began allowing the US-based Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) to distribute a limited amount of aid in Gaza. Human rights groups warned that the GHF’s distribution plan would be insufficient. Over the past week, children have died of deprivation. On Thursday, two infants at the Al-Nassar Hospital in Khan Younis died due to a lack of formula. The US recently approved sending $30 million to the GHF. The leader of the GHF, Rev Johnny Moore, is a close ally of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The doctors who spoke with NBC News said that Israeli aid restrictions are the cause of the formula shortages that are now killing Gazan babies.’

Patrick Henningsen; “Unfortunately, we have to report on this as all eyes were on Iran, all eyes were on what was going on with the US and Iran and Israel. Everyone took their attention off of Gaza and what has come out in the last couple of weeks, especially in the last seven days, is beyond horrific, and we’ll start with this very important report here, and this is up at 21st Century wire.com, and what we’re doing is serialising the highlights from the Harvard report. This is from the Harvard data, ‘the hidden numbers behind Gaza’s real death toll’. Now the numbers being bandied about Mike, you probably familiar with 60,000 dead in Gaza, something along those lines here. What we found here, the grim arithmetic, IDF data reveals 377,000 Palestinians are quote, unaccounted for, dead or missing, we’re looking at a Holocaust here and we don’t say that lightly or casually. The report unequivocally demonstrates that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, this organisation we exposed a couple of weeks ago, the compounds were strategically placed and built to be inaccessible to most, particularly to the 1,000,000 residents of Gaza City, hence the riots for food cut off by the Nazarene corridor. This is by design, they’re partitioning Gaza. The United States and Israel are doing this in concert here and the current system fails to support the 1.85 million accounted for. Let’s take a look at some video footage of shooting where people are starving, people cut off from food and aid and water by Israel, and they’re going to collect food at these feeding points, the US and Israel call them, and they’re being shot at. Hundreds of people have been killed trying to feed themselves.”

‘Top Israeli lawmakers have accused their government of laundering massive sums through a shadowy network of US humanitarian and mercenary orgs. The weaponised aid initiative is the linchpin of Israel’s plan to ethnically cleanse northern Gaza by forcing the starving population into concentration camp-like hubs. Israel’s scheme to commandeer aid distribution in Gaza ended in chaos on May 27, with Israeli soldiers reportedly opening fire on stampeding crowds of hungry Palestinians after just 8,000 boxes of rations were handed out by an opaque organisation calling itself the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). Founded this February in Switzerland under a cloud of mystery, GHF serves as an umbrella for a network of private mercenary firms which Israel is using to supplant the role of the United Nations in feeding Palestinians after bringing them to the brink of starvation. At the moment, the public has no idea who is funding the opaque aid boondoggle. A GHF spokesman told the Washington Post “the foundation has already secured $100 million from an undisclosed donor.” Right-wing Israeli opposition figure and Member of Knesset Avigdor Lieberman proclaimed that GHF’s mysterious financial angel was, in fact, the Israeli government. “The money for humanitarian aid comes from the Mossad and the Ministry of Defense,” Lieberman wrote on Twitter/X, complaining, “Hundreds of millions of dollars at the expense of Israeli citizens.”
Yair Lapid, a Member of Knesset and de facto leader of Israel’s loyal opposition, has accused the Israeli government of funding two “shell companies,” pointing to GHF and the private mercenary firm, Safe Reach Solutions, which was founded by former CIA field operative Phillip Reilly. Two former US officials told the Qatari-owned outlet Middle East Eye that Reilly “had won the trust of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and several Israeli businessmen close to him.” If true, this would mean Israel’s military-intelligence apparatus is effectively laundering massive sums of money through a weaponised aid scheme that forms the linchpin of its plan to ethnically cleanse northern Gaza. A leaked internal GHF document acknowledged that the food distribution centers and residential compounds it was constructing in Gaza could be perceived as “‘concentration camps’ with biometrics.'” The GHF model appears integral to Israel’s stated plan to occupy 75% of the Gaza Strip, forcing starving and homeless Palestinians into what its military has branded as “humanitarian islands” designed to “divide and rule” the decimated enclave. It is also a clear attempt at replacing UNRWA, the United Nations agency that has tended to the needs of Gaza’s refugee population since 1949, and which the Israeli Knesset designated as a terrorist organisation in 2024.’

Read; Foreign Office staff told to consider resigning if they disagree over Gaza BBC News, 10 June 2025
More than 300 Foreign Office staff who raised concerns about potential UK “complicity” in Israel’s conduct in Gaza were told if they profoundly disagreed with government policy they could consider resigning. The staff letter, seen by the BBC, was sent to Foreign Secretary David Lammy last month. In it, officials questioned the UK’s continued arms sales and what they called a “stark… disregard for international law” by Israel. The Foreign Office said it had systems for staff to raise concerns and added the government had “rigorously applied international law” in relation to the war in Gaza. The reply to the staff letter was sent from Sir Oliver Robbins and Nick Dyer, the two most senior civil servants in the Foreign Office. They told the signatories: “[I]f your disagreement with any aspect of government policy or action is profound, your ultimate recourse is to resign from the Civil Service. This is an honourable course.” The response was met with “outrage” according to one official who signed the letter. “[There is] frustration and a deep sense of disappointment that the space for challenge is being further shut down,” said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity The officials’ letter signed on 16 May was at least the fourth such document sent by concerned civil servants to ministers and Foreign Office managers since late 2023. The BBC understands the signatories represent a wide range of expertise across Foreign Office departments, embassies and missions including in London and overseas. The letters have reflected the scale of the civilian death toll in Gaza, Israel’s restrictions on aid supply and Israeli settlement expansion and settler violence in the occupied West Bank, among other issues. Staff are also said to feel disquiet that many of their warnings have not been acted on, and those whose jobs it is to implement decisions could be liable in any future legal proceedings against the UK government. The 16 May letter said: “In July 2024, staff expressed concern about Israel’s violations of international humanitarian law and potential UK government complicity. In the intervening period, the reality of Israel’s disregard for international law has become more stark.” It went on to list the killing by Israeli forces of 15 humanitarian workers in March and Israel’s suspension of all aid to Gaza in the same month “leading many experts and humanitarian organisations to accuse Israel of using starvation as a weapon of war”. It said the UK government’s position had contributed to “the erosion of global norms”, citing continued weapons exports and the visit to London in April by Israel’s foreign minister Gideon Sa’ar “despite concerns about violations of international law”.

And yet, since he last appeared, as others have mentioned, 22 new settlements announced and the Israeli government has replaced the UNRWA distribution system with a shooting gallery, an abattoir where starving people are lured out through combat zones to be shot at. If the situation were reversed, we would now be mobilising, quite rightly mobilising the British armed forces as part of an international protection force. So here’s my question.

Read and Watch; Kneecap share powerful message ahead of Glastonbury performance that won’t be shown on BBC Belfast Live, 26 June 2025
‘Belfast band Kneecap have issued a powerful message ahead of their Glastonbury performance. Despite the rap group’s scheduled appearance at the renowned festival, their set won’t be broadcast live on the BBC due to previous political controversies. The band has now released a short film highlighting the ongoing genocide in Gaza. They posted the video on Instagram, which begins with a public service announcement graphic stating: “Please pay attention.”
They proceed to read out a statement denouncing genocide, citing sources such as Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, The Lancet, and various UN agencies. The spoken words are paired with animated illustrations and interviews with doctors and activists. In the caption accompanying the post, the group stated: “Kneecap is not the story. Genocide in Gaza is.
“See it. Say it. Censored.’ is an artist-led alternative PSA presented by Kneecap that demands urgent action to stop the genocide unfolding in Gaza.”, reports the Mirror. Created by a coalition of artists and powered by the testimony of medics and activists, the film builds on reports from Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and UN agencies, to lay out the facts and call for vital action: STOP THE GENOCIDE.’
‘David Levy of Warner Music Europe is a genocidal racist who even objects in the letter to the waving of Palestinian flags at Glastonbury.’ Thankfully his attempted cancelling failed.

Chris Williamson; “In today’s show, we’ll be exposing the lengths to which Israel and its Western-based assets have gone to cancel critics of the genocidal zionist colony. In our first report, Latifa Abouchakra highlights how Kneecap, the Irish hip-hop band, has found itself in the crosshairs of these underhand tactics for speaking out against genocide. Our next report reveals the duplicitous actions of the long-time music business executive, Paul Samuels.”
Latifa Abouchakra; “Kneecap, the Irish hip-hop group, has been the subject of a massive cancellation campaign by the zionist movement in the US and in the UK. All the usual suspects have been involved with public letters written by the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the misnamed Campaign Against Anti-semitism. But there is another key zionist group that prefers to operate undercover when it can. Sometimes it likes to mobilise in the public gaze, as when it called on 12th of October 2023 for support for Israel as it takes the necessary steps to defend its citizens. In other circumstances, it prefers to conduct its bullying campaigns in support of genocide in the dark. Palestine Declassified has obtained access to private correspondence sent to Glastonbury Festival to try and intimidate it into cancelling Kneecap (this failed). They said they wanted to raise Glastonbury’s awareness about Kneecap and this involved claiming that the band were propagating hate and should not therefore be protected by free speech with which the letter writers claim to agree. The letter continues, ‘the silence of our allies has sadly at times been a contributory factor to the way anti-Israel rhetoric has become a proxy for anti-semitism’. The first signatory of a slew of industry insiders is David Levy of Warner Music Europe. He’s a genocidal racist who even objects in the letter to the waving of Palestinian flags at Glastonbury. He’s the agent for a slew of artists including Air, York, Calvin Harris, Dua Lipa, LCD Sound System and Willow. As with many zionists, he squats on the territory of genuine anti racists. This is visible, for example, when he was asked if he could go back in time and see any concert, who would you see and when? His reply? Bob Marley at the Rainbow, London, 1977. He was a prominent signatory to the Israel Under Attack letter published by Creative Community for Peace on the 11th of October 2023, and this is a clue that the letter was organised by industry insiders working with Creative Community for Peace. This is a US-based zionist group that works within the music and entertainment industry but it carefully hides that it’s actually a front group to Stand With Us, a long established anti-Palestinian pro-settler lobby group. Official registration documents show that Stand With Us and Creative Community for Peace are simply alternate names for a single IRS-registered non-profit, Israel Emergency Alliance, and Stand With Us is known to have received grants direct from the zionist regime. According to the former Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon, Israel uses these to amplify our power and for leverage. It is, in other words, a regime cat’s paw.”
Watch; Israel, the myth that built a nation; by Dan Djurdjevic, 27 June 2025
“Have you ever wondered why the Palestinians were so unprepared in 1948? It starts with the Arab revolt in 1936 to 1939, one of the biggest anti-colonial uprisings in the Middle East and almost no one talks about it. The Palestinians rose up against two things, British colonial rule and mass Jewish immigration, especially as zionist groups bought up the land and pushed Arab farmers out. They launched a six month general strike followed by a full blown armed revolt. They wanted an end to Jewish immigration, land sales and British rule. And how did Britain respond? They crushed the revolt brutally. Thousands of Palestinians were killed, whole villagers were bombed, leaders were exiled, homes demolished. The British even formed special death squads with zionist militias like the Hagana. Meanwhile, those militias were getting training, weapons and battlefield experience, the foundation of what would later become the Israeli army. By 1939, Palestinian society was broken. No leadership, no armed force, no way to resist. So when 1948 came around the Nakba, they were shattered before the war even started. That revolt was there shot at stopping colonisation. Britain made sure they would never get another.”

Now we’re here in Congress and it’s just swarming with people who are part of AIPAC and other groups that are advocating for Israel. I’m actually anxious to find out what it is they want because they’ve gotten everything. They think they’re privileged and they can go through here. We’ve asked them many times, and they’re afraid to talk to us because they feel very uncomfortable in their righteousness for supporting a genocide. You know, the whole world has watched the last year and a half and are so disgusted. As a Jewish person, I say how ashamed I am.

Watch; Boycott River Island by David Miller, 11 June 2025
Chris Williamson; “In today’s show, Palestine Declassified exposes how the zionist lobby uses British charities as a device to funnel money into Israel. One zionist charity based in Britain has used its status to bring thousands of potentially dangerous extremists into the UK even after they participated in particularly ugly war crimes. In our first report, Latifah Abouchakra sets out the nefarious activities of these supposedly charitable bodies and names some of the characters involved.”
Latifa Abouchakra; ” In every British High Street there is a branch of River Island. River Island was created by two brothers, David and Bernard Lewis, born in London in the 1920s. Their surname was Pokrasse. Their parents were Jewish immigrants from Ukraine on their father’s side and Romania on their mother’s. The family changed its name to Lewis in 1933. They created the Chelsea Girl chain of shops in 1965. When he died, David was referred to as a pioneering champion of zionism by the Daily Express. Today, River Island has some 350 stores across Britain and Ireland and as a presence in many other countries. The Lewis family also own the Isrotel hotel chain in Israel by the parent company of the Lewis Trust Group. Some parts of the group are owned by various offshore tax haven companies. Company dividends are paid to L51N Limited whose immediate parent company is LFH International, registered in the Cayman Islands. The family are in the Forbes list of billionaires with an estimated fortune of £1.5 billion. Almost all of the leading positions in their intricate network of onshore and offshore companies are led by members of the extended family. The family also runs two Charitable Trusts which regularly donate to zionist causes. These are Bernard Lewis Family Charitable Trust and the David Ruth Lewis Family Charitable Trust. Among the recipients of their largesse are the genocidal zionist occupation forces. Palestine Declassified has identified three separate charities to which they have contributed which are connected to the genocidal occupation forces. British ORT trains young zionists in arms companies and on occupation forces bases. Its world headquarters is in London. Until recently it was in the same building as the Community Security Trust, the British Friends of Israel War Disabled, which works closely with an agency in the zionist entity to care for injured members of the genocidal occupation forces involved in the current genocide. In fact, the charity said its primary intention is bringing groups of genocidal war criminals to the UK. It claims to have brought some 5,000 of them. The third group is the UK Friends of the Association for the well-being of Israel Soldiers. In 2021 it opened a swimming pool in an occupation forces base in the Naqab Desert entirely funded from British donations. The base allows the genocidal military to rest and recuperate. It is less than an hour’s drive from SDE Teiman camp, maintained by the occupation to torture, rape and kill Palestinians. We have previously reported on this group, following which its website and all social media were deleted. To end the genocide, all of these charities must be shut down. It will help if we boycott River Island.”
David Miller; “This is a family with a long history in zionism, but they started off when David was very young, started off selling fruit and vegetables from his family’s stall, and they only laterally got into the rag trade, as it’s called. They set up eventually a whole series of different shops, boutiques. They had a shop, a boutique called Girl in Chelsea, which they eventually named Chelsea Girl and it became a chain. And then of course, they renamed them River Island in the 1980s. Yes, they’ve always been zionists in the sense that they’ve always been involved in the zionist movement.”

Intro; ‘David Miller is a British sociologist born in 1964, known for his research on propaganda and Islamophobia. He has held academic positions at several universities, including the University of Strathclyde, the University of Bath, and the University of Bristol. Miller co-founded Public Interest Investigations, a non-profit organisation, and has been involved in research on media portrayals, terrorism, and political violence. His work has sparked both acclaim and controversy, particularly regarding his views on Israel and Jewish student groups, which led to his dismissal from the University of Bristol in 2021. However, in 2024, an employment tribunal ruled that his dismissal was unfair and discriminatory, recognising his anti-zionist beliefs as a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010.’
David Miller; ” I’m from Scotland and Scotland has its own history with colonialism. It has had its own history of being colonised and indeed of partaking in colonialism. Indeed, of course, there were Scottish soldiers and others who helped to destroy this country (Iran) in the way in which Britain operated in relation to Iran. So I understand that these matters are difficult. I understand that there is a war weariness across the whole West Asia. I understand that there have been defeats for the resistance, for Hezbollah, for the Assad government and indeed for the Palestinian resistance in Gaza and the West Bank. But believe me when I say all of my studying and all of my research leads me to the to the one position, which is that the only way for peace in this region is to defeat zionist entity and to dismantle all of the zionist colony in Palestine, and indeed to dismantle the zionist movement across the whole of the world, wherever it rears its ugly head. And I hope that people who listen to what I say will get involved in the campaign to do that, because the zionists are everywhere in this world, including in this country, as everyone knows, and they can be confronted wherever they are.”
Sign the PETITION; Defend the right to protest: no proscription of Palestine Action Palestine Solidarity Campaign
‘The Home Secretary’s proposal to proscribe the direct action group Palestine Action as terrorists is part of a wider crackdown on those protesting for Palestinian rights. This step undermines all our civil liberties and democratic freedoms and risks creating a chilling effect on advocacy for Palestinian rights across British society, and on other campaigns for human rights and against war.
The Home Secretary has based her proscription on allegations of criminal damage against property. Spray painting warplanes is not terrorism. Palestine Action aims to prevent violence against people by interrupting the flow of weapons used in brutal violence against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip, widely understood to be crimes against humanity.
The British government should not be using counter-terrorism laws as a political weapon to criminalise dissent. The vast majority of British society opposes Israel’s oppression of the Palestinian people, as do human rights groups, legal authorities and broader civil society across the world.
Instead of fulfilling its obligations under international law to prevent genocide, the government is attempting to criminalise people who demand justice for Palestinians. This comes at a time when Israel is continuing its relentless bombing campaign against the people of Gaza, including daily massacres of starving people gathered to collect much-needed aid.
PSC believes in the need to build a truly mass movement rooted in all of our communities and use a wide range of tactics to bring about political change. While we have a different strategy to Palestine Action, we utterly reject this attempt to use counter-terrorism laws as a political weapon to criminalise dissent. A legal case is currently being prepared to block this proscription, but failing that, MPs are expected to vote on it next week.
We have launched this petition today because we urgently need evidence of public opposition to this planned proscription. We need you to sign and share the petition link as widely as possible with all of your contacts and on social media.
The overwhelming majority of people in Britain oppose Israel’s oppression of the Palestinian people. Our Palestinian partners rely on us to maintain our focus on ending the genocide in Gaza and supporting their struggle for freedom. We cannot allow ourselves to be silenced or blown off course.
Sign and share the petition today and keep building the movement for Palestinian rights.

“Zionism didn’t just dispossess Palestinians, it also erased the centuries old Jewish communities of the Arab world.’
Listen; Israel’s Secret History of Terror & Discrimination Against Arab Jews, with Avi Shlaim Rania Khalek Disparches, 10 June 2025
Rania Khalek; “Zionism didn’t just dispossess Palestinians, it also erased the centuries old Jewish communities of the Arab world. For thousands of years, Jews lived across the Middle East as part of the region’s cultural and religious mosaic. But with the rise of zionism and the creation of Israel, that history was violently uprooted. With the help of zionist sabotage, Israel often claims it rescued Arab Jews from anti-Semitism. But what if the threat came from zionism? What if the Mossad planted bombs in Jewish neighbourhoods to scare families into fleeing to a state that saw them as racially inferior? Avi Shlaim, a leading historian and author, an Arab Jew born in Baghdad, has spent years piecing together and exposing this buried history. And his new book, Genocide in Gaza, connects Israel’s founding myths with its ongoing atrocities. He’s also Emeritus Professor of International Relations at Oxford University, author of several landmark books on Israel and Palestine, and one of the most important voices challenging zionist mythology from within the Jewish tradition.”
Avi Shlaim; “Zionism is a settler colonial movement. The state of Israel is a settler colonial state. The logic of zionism is the the elimination of the natives in order to take over their land and its resources, and with the help of Britain with the Balfour Declaration of 1917, the zionist movement embarked on the systematic takeover of Palestine. Today it controls Israel, controls 100% of historic Palestine, and the main mechanism of settler colonialism in this case is the ethnic cleansing of the population. In 1948, there was the ethnic cleansing of Palestine. The newly born state of Israel expelled 3/4 of a million Palestinians, more than half the Palestinian population, turned them into refugees and the name Palestine was wiped off the map. This is the Nakba. During the June 1967 war, Israel captured a lot of more territory from all its neighbours, especially the West Bank from Jordan, and there was another ethnic cleansing, another quarter of a million Palestinians became refugees. And the Nakba isn’t a one-off phenomenon or one-off event, it’s an ongoing process, Al-Nakba al-Mustamirra in Arabic. And in Gaza this process has reached its climax, its most cruel climax. And in the war in Gaza, Israel has gone beyond ethnic cleansing, although this is one of the aims of the operation to commit genocide. And in my memoirs, I once wrote that for all its sins, Israel has never been guilty of genocide, and the reader wrote to me and quoted this, and he said to me, do you still think that? So I had to rethink and I replied and said, no, I have reconsidered what I’ve written, and the new reality suggests that Israel most definitely is guilty of genocide. So that’s the link, settler colonialism. And I’d like to make one other observation, if I may, and that is a quote from Noam Chomsky, and I’d like to quote that because it’s so perceptive. He said settler colonialism is the most extreme and vicious form of imperialism. I’ll repeat that, settler colonialism is the most extreme and vicious form of colonialism, and in Gaza we can see quite how vicious settler colonialism can be. And the Palestinians for the last century have had the misfortune of being at the receiving end of zonist settler colonialism on the one hand, and Western imperialism on the other hand, first under Britain during the mandate and since the end of the mandate under America. So America is not an innocent bystander. It sustains, it enables and empowers zionist settler colonialism, and we can see this convergence between the two countries in what is happening in Gaza today.
The zionist master narrative says that there was anti-semitism in the Arab world and in the Muslim world and it was endemic, it was pervasive and it was the main factor that governed the life of Jews in the Arab world. And after the creation of the state of Israel, anti-semitism was the main factor that pushed Jews into to leave their homes and to go to Israel. And this is the theory of the double exodus that you mentioned, that in 1948, there was one exodus, the Palestinians left Palestine and went elsewhere, and they did so of the own free will or on orders from the leaders. So Israel was innocent, it had nothing to do with creating the Palestinian refugee problem, three-quarters of a million Palestinian refugees, on the other hand, there were Jews in the Arab world, there were about 850,000 of them and they were persecuted and pushed out and Israel very nobly offered them a safe haven. So it rescued them from another holocaust. That’s the zionist master narrative and it’s complete rubbish because it’s a it is a total variance with the facts, the reality is very different. The reality is that there were thriving Jewish communities throughout the Arab world. In Lebanon, where you come from, in neighbouring Syria, in Iraq, where I come from, in Egypt, in Libya and throughout the Maghreb, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria, there were thriving Jewish communities and in the in large numbers in Iraq during the First World War, the Jews were a third of the population.
There were many minorities in Iraq, many different minorities, and a long tradition of coexistence and religious tolerance between the minorities, and the Jews in Iraq did not stand out, they were one minority like the others. Europe had a Jewish ‘problem’, in inverted commas, the Jews were symbolic of the other. In Iraq the Jews were not the other, they were an integral part of Iraqi society. For my family and me, Muslim Jewish coexistence was not an abstract idea or a dream. It was the everyday reality, nothing exceptional about it, and all this is forgotten by the zionist claim that Arabs and Muslims always hated Jews and they drove them out of the countries.
It’s a very important aspect of zionism, of what one person called cruel zionism, which has always been denied by the establishment in Israel. And since I was a boy in Ramat Gan near Tel Aviv, I heard rumours that the Mossad was involved in the bombs in Baghdad that precipitated the exodus of Iraqi Jews. And just to start with the fact that in 1950 there were 135,000 Jews in Iraq. By the end of 1952 only about 10,000 left and roughly 125,000 Jews ended up in Israel. And the zionist narrative says it’s because of persecution of the Jews. And I say, yes, the main reason for the exodus is persecution of the Jews in Iraq in the aftermath of the 1948 war, in the aftermath of the defeat. But that wasn’t the only factor. There was another factor. In 1950 and early 1951, five bombs exploded in Jewish premises in Baghdad. And my research has demonstrated, produced evidence that the Mossad, working through zionist activists in the underground in Baghdad, was responsible for three out of the five bombs. So the Mossad played a part in uprooting the Jews of Iraq. Some of my zionist critics say that I fabricated this, that this never happened. But the evidence is very hard evidence, the kind of evidence that would stand up in court
Zionism was a movement by European Jews and the leaders of the zionists movement looked down on Arab Jews. They had a European superior view of the East as being primitive and barbaric. They had a very low opinion of Arabs and compared with Europe they regarded themselves as part of European civilisation. And by the same token they had a not very favourable view of the Jews in the Arab countries. They were a bit better than Muslim Arabs, but there were still Arabs, they still lived in the East, they were part of the barbaric East. So in the early zionist thinking, the Jews of the Arab lands did not feature very much. The turning point was the Holocaust, because the Holocaust wiped out six million Jews, it wiped out the main reservoir for the Jewish state to be, which was the ultimate goal of the zionist movement. And after the Holocaust, the attitude of the zionist leader changed, from now on they were desperate to get Jews from all corners of the earth, everywhere they could find them, Eastern Europe and the Middle East, where there was a large number of Jews, and this attitude continued once the Jews from the neighbouring Arab states ended up in Israel. This is fairly soon after the establishment of the state of Israel in the early 1950s. There were mass immigrations to Israel and the Jews of the Arab lands were not well received. My family was privileged. We were a very wealthy family and we were spared the experience of the great majority of Iraqi Jews. The great majority when they arrived in Israel, at the airport, they were sprayed with DDT, with insecticide, and imagine how humiliating this would have been for them to be treated like animals.”
Probably best political history lesson I’ve ever heard;
Listen; The Dark Forces Pushing for War With Iran The Tucker Carlson Show, 11 June 2025
Jeffrey Sachs; “The good news, of course, is that President Trump is negotiating. He’s resisting Netanyahu’s constant call for the US to go to war with Iran and that the call by Netanyahu for yet another war in the Middle East is yet another of these long term deep state projects. This is an Israeli project primarily, but the US has been a party to Netanyahu’s wars going back essentially 30 years. Netanyahu came to office as Prime Minister of Israel first in 1996. He did it with the backing of the US political advisors, many of whom became senior U.S. officials. And he did it on the basis of a strategy, political strategy called clean break back in 1996. And what clean break meant was a clean break with the idea of the two state solution. So the two state solution means that there should be a state of Israel and a state of Palestine living side by side. That goes back to the United Nations 1947 partition plan idea. Netanyahu leads a political party, the Likud, and a political alliance which holds that Israel should dominate all of the lands of that region, including Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, but also into Lebanon and Syria and borders undefined, but a very expansive view of what Israel’s rule should be. That’s a quite outlandish and outrageous idea to most of the world and I would say to most Americans who say, look, just make peace and get on with it. And the Palestinians, who are 8 million people should have their place. And the Israelis, who are 8 million people, should have their place and get on with it. But this idea of the clean break is, no, we don’t want to get on with it. We want to control everything. And Netanyahu’s philosophy or not philosophy, but his strategy, because it isn’t just tactics, it’s strategy. The strategy is we know there’ll be a lot of resistance, our domination over the Palestinian people, apartheid regime, ethnic cleansing when we can get away with it and so forth. So we’re going to face opposition. We will face even militant opposition, Hamas or Hezbollah and so forth. But Netanyahu pointed out something which is actually correct. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, he says these militants basically don’t operate on their own. That’s true in general of these groups that we fight. They are state backed. And it has been true that Hezbollah and Hamas, for example, were backed by Iran for most of this. And so the idea of Netanyahu is don’t make peace. We want to win. We want it all the territory. We don’t accept two states, we don’t accept Palestinian rights and so forth. We will win, but we don’t win by defeating militant groups, we win by destroying the governments that support those groups. And that means war and it really means endless wars. And the US became the complicit party to this because of the US deep state vision of that Israel is our battleship or aircraft carrier in the Middle East, that it is our strategic asset in the Middle East, and because of the zionist lobby, which is itself a complicated political concoction in the United States. But in any event, the US completely bought into the Netanyahu idea, which is war after war after war. And it’s not well understood, but it should be because we’ve been told pretty clearly by no less than General Wesley Clark, for example, who was the commander of NATO forces, that the Pentagon has had a list of wars to prosecute. That essentially is Netanyahu’s list. Actually, after 9/11 in particular, that went into overdrive. Wesley Clark was told and as he subsequently explained to us, and as others have also explained to us, an Air Force commander named Dennis Fritz who wrote a very important book called Deadly Betrayal in 2024 telling the same story. In essence, the Pentagon had a list which the neo conservatives or the deep state of the US would carry out, which was we would take out the regimes in opposition to Israel and those regimes included not only the Palestinians, that’s the point, but also Syria. That was the regime of Bashar al-Assad, which was viewed by Netanyahu and by the US deep state as an Iranian client. So Syria would be one, Lebanon would be another, Iraq under Saddam Hussein would be another, the Iranian regime would be a fourth. And then, believe it or not, the three countries in Africa, which are Islamic countries that supported the Palestinian cause, and that was Moammar Gaddafi’s Libya, that was Somalia on the Horn of Africa, and that was Sudan which was a Sharia state in the 1990s. Well, God damn, we’ve been to war with all of them except Iran, and not by accident. The list is literally the guide in in this case. And again, it’s not simple for Americans to connect the dots because these stories are not told, they’re not explained, they’re not debated, they’re not voted. These are presidential actions by and large, one after another. So let’s go through them step by step. One is the Iraq War 2003. We now know not only was it under wrong pretences, weapons of mass destruction that didn’t exist, it was under completely phoney, concocted false pretences. And in 2002, the Pentagon actually did a PR analysis of how to sell the war to the American people, a unit by a guy named Abe Scholsky. And he came up with a PR strategy, literally public relations, that the right narrative was weapons of mass destruction. So this is not as was subsequently told to us, oh, we made a mistake, we didn’t know that Saddam didn’t have them. This was a concocted narrative, in 2002 to justify a war, in 2003 to take away a regime that Netanyahu deemed to be hostile to Israel. Then in 2011, again, something very basic but not understood by the American people because again, the government lies and cheats and doesn’t explain the US went to war in Syria. Now, this was not a declared war, and there was never a presidential speech, but President Obama said Assad must go, OK. Every time you hear an American president say some other leader must go, say, oh my gosh, here we go again. And the president signed a presidential finding called Operation Timber Sycamore, assigning the CIA with the task of organising, training, financing and arming an insurgency to overthrow Assad that came to fruition just in recent months. That’s how the new government came in very much unfortunately. It was after 13 years of war that killed hundreds of thousands of people and destroyed sites in Syria that date back thousands of years. In other words, it was a destruction of one of the heritage sites of humanity. Because Netanyahu said that guy’s too close to Iran. We need to take him out. Not one politician in Europe said, oh, the United States shouldn’t be engaged in an overthrow of Syria. They can’t connect the goddamn dots because everything’s a lie.”

Watch; The party’s over: zionism must be dismantled Dr Ghadi Karmi, Palestine Deep Dive, 22 March 2025
‘Esteemed Palestinian author and academic, Dr Ghada Karmi, calls on the world to rise up to end Israel’s genocide and systematic oppression of the Palestinian people—to end its apartheid, ethnic cleansing and colonialism once and for all.’
Ghada Karmi; “The party’s over. It’s not business as usual. In the words of the song, the party’s over. It’s time to call it a day. Precisely what this has evoked is a deep questioning amongst people who must ask themselves where do they stand on the question of evil? Because I believe that what we’ve seen in Gaza is evil. You cannot describe it in any other way. There is a sort of deliberate dehumanisation of Palestinians which enables Israelis to actually enjoy it and believe it’s justified. This is a degree of dehumanisation of the other which is really pathological. How can this be allowed to happen? How is it that the same actors who support Israel have gone on supporting Israel despite these horrific crimes that Israel commits? What does that say not only about those types, but about the world we’re living in? What does it say, really? Is this a world in which the wanton killing of small children, the destruction of homes, the starvation of people are actually acceptable that you can afford to ignore them? Is that it? Is this the world we’re living in? The assault on Gaza was really horrific for me to watch. It not only evoked traumatic memories of the time that we left, but then I then started to realise that our sufferings, though I had sought them very great throughout my life, were almost as nothing to the sufferings that the people of Gaza were being subjected to. I was born in Jerusalem before 1948 in an area called Qatamon, which was cosmopolitan at the time. It had Jewish families, Christian families, foreign families living there. And then in April 1948 came the day when we left our home in Katamon in Jerusalem, as it turned out, forever. We didn’t think that then. My parents thought we were just being evacuated because things were dangerous and Jewish militias were shooting at people in the street from empty buildings. How long we were. Nothing was ever the same again. It was over for us in April 1948, in the sense of having our place in our country, in our city, in our home.”
Watch; Accountability Will Come; BDS movement, 2 June 2025
‘Speaking before the UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, Shir Hever — Coordinator of the Military Embargo Campaign at the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC) — called on states and corporations to meet their legal and moral obligation to impose a military embargo on Israel now. And he reminded them: though it may take time, “accountability will come.”‘
Shir Hever; “I must begin by saying that I’m speaking in my role as the coordinator of the military embargo campaign of the BDS movement, but also as the grandson of Israel Magali, a war criminal who has participated in the massacre in Lydda, one of the atrocities of the Nakba in 1948. Over four hundred of the city’s residents were killed in the massacre and about 70,000 were expelled in the March of Death to the West Bank. Seventy-seven years ago, the world witnessed the planned expulsion of over 750,000 Palestinians from their homes, a deliberate, systematic destruction of society known as the Nakba. Yet today we gather not only in memory of that injustice, but in witness to its continuation. Millions around the world are not silent. Many states are not silent. But many, especially in the colonial West, are not just silent, but entirely complicit. The genocide is perpetrated mostly with US-made weapons, also with military and dual-use material and military intelligence from Germany, the UK, Italy, France, Netherlands, Greece, Cyprus, Serbia, India, Japan, even Vietnam among others. The bombs are dropped by US F35 jets with parts manufactured in 17 countries. Without these weapons, there will be no genocide, no apartheid, and the Nakba will end. The military embargo against Israel is a legal and moral duty, and yet, while Palestinians bury tens of thousands of their children in mass graves, complicit states, weapon manufacturers, energy and tech companies continue to arm and otherwise enable the perpetrators. It may take some time, but accountability will come, as I know from Jewish history, it will come for the governments that have authorised arms export permits to Israel in full knowledge of its atrocity crimes. It will come to the corporations that have enabled and profited from genocide. It will come to the energy companies like Chevron and also to the shipping companies such as Maersk and Zim that have illegally delivered deadly cargo to Israel throughout this genocide. The live stream genocide in Gaza will remain a dark stain on human history. It is not too late to change course to impose on apartheid Israel a comprehensive military embargo as was done against apartheid South Africa. This is for Palestinians, for humanity, for what remains of the credibility of international law and the UN.”

A recent poll shows that the majority of Jewish Israelis agree that there is a current incarnation of the “Amalek”, the biblical enemy nation where the divine command was to eradicate them, and that it applies to Palestinians in the modern day.

‘Sovereign Syria is being carved up into factional zones under the influence of the terrorist management in Turkey, Israel, the US, the UK, and the Arab Gulf states. Here we try to identify the external players and their Takfiri proxy gangs, their conflicting agendas, and their ultimate goals: While Western narratives would have you believe that Syrian ‘rebels’ have organically overthrown a ‘brutal dictator’ and replaced him with a fair and democratic regime, the reality is far from this CIA/MI6-manufactured illusion.Syria has been converted from a pluralist country that had enjoyed civil security and stability even despite the ravages of a regime change war that began in 2011 into a fragmented and traumatised state. It is a State, with its ability to defend itself or to protect its borders, destroyed by Israel immediately after the international coup. The country has been geopolitically divided into zones of influence controlled by disparate gangs backed by a growing number of international players. Takfiri gangs are brutalising and murdering ethnic minorities in Syria on a daily basis.During the 14 years of brutal warfare, the control over different regions changed multiple times consistent with the dominance of various extremist armed groups, over-lorded by Al Qaeda and ISIS. Both are proxies of Western hegemons intent on the overthrow of a Syrian Government that would not normalise relations with Israel or abandon Syria’s Resistance principles in the region.
On 5 March 2020, Turkey and Russia signed a fateful ceasefire agreement to end hostilities in Idlib in Northwest Syria. In 2017, Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter Daesh Brett McGurk claimed the city of Idlib had turned into a “safe zone for al-Qaeda terrorists on the Turkish border”.After the ceasefire agreement, Syria entered a period of military stagnation with only very few breaches in the ceasefire, none of them serious. The territorial map also remained stable, with the State controlling an estimated 70% of the territory.Then on 27 November 2024, before the ink had dried on the ‘ceasefire’ agreement between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, the armed factions in Idlib, led by Abu Mohammed Al Jolani, launched what became known as the ‘Operation to Deter Aggression’. The Al Qaeda (Hayat Tahrir Al Sham or HTS) aggression progressed from Idlib to Aleppo, Hama, Homs, Damascus, and the Syrian coast with lightning speed. The government finally fell on 8 December 2024 with President Bashar Al Assad’s flight to Moscow, where he was given ‘humanitarian’ asylum.The focus of this article and subsequent analysis is not on explanations for the final fall of Damascus after 14 punishing years of war, sanctions, and bloodshed. This has been explained in the UK Column Syria Podcast series, which was recently deleted from YouTube in an apparent effort to erase the history of MI6 and CIA involvement in the destabilisation of Syria. It is a campaign that, overall, spans more than 75 years.
We will be concentrating on the current situation in Syria and how it might develop in relation to the regional conflict now rapidly developing since Israel’s aggression against Iran began.This will include an overview of the zones of influence now established by various Western allied proxies and Takfiri groups in Syria. It will examine the nature of these groups, their allegiances, and their agendas.’
