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

The only sound on the Free Palestine march in Bristol was the steady drumbeat to mourn the children lost in the genocide in Gaza. Petitions with thousands of names hand written, each one representing a child’s life taken in the ongoing genocide were carried by mourners.
As the procession of hundreds of mourners moved through the city on May 24th, passers-by honked their horns in solidarity or stopped to express their support. The outpouring of empathy from the public was deeply moving, a moment of unity in grief and defiance against the zionist violence and our government’s complicity.
In this spirit of solidarity, the Landworkers’ Alliance has called on all of us to take action against forced starvation in Gaza. We encourage you to read and support the Landworkers’ Alliance’s open letter, “Farmers Against Forced Starvation,” and add your name to the call for justice and an end to the siege on Gaza.
Farmers around the world share the responsibility of feeding their communities. Together, we must continue to demand accountability from those enabling these atrocities.

Food & Farming / US Trade Agreement / CO2 Tunnel Vision / Geoengineering
Wiser Farmers: Gerald Miles
“Food is not a commodity, it’s a necessity. And until we wake up to that and treasure food for what it is and where it comes from and who it benefits, then we’re asking for starvation.”
Gerald Miles, a 7th-generation farmer on the Pembrokeshire coast, has spent decades farming organically, growing heritage cereals, and raising pedigree cattle. At 75, he remains deeply committed to creating a sustainable food system and connecting with his local community through his CSA Network scheme.
Gerald’s farm is a true example of food sovereignty, where traditional methods and local produce are central to everything. He grows crops and raises animals that nourish both the land and the people who collect their weekly box from the farm. .
Gerald drove his 55-year-old Massey Ferguson tractor at its max speed of 15mph for several days to central London to lead the 2022 Land Workers Alliance march, demanding fair subsidies and standing up for small-scale farmers.

Corporate capitalism, with its blinkered obsession with growth and competition, forces farmers to treat animals like machines hence they get sick along with those that eat them. The horrors of factory farming is pushing citizens to go vegan rather than buying meat with high welfare labels which farmers would be happy to produce.
Read; Why Farm Animals Are So Unhealthy; Rhoda Wilson, The Exposé, 25 May 2025
‘Farm animals are more prone to illness due to high stocking densities, lack of exercise and inadequate diet, Dr. Vernon Coleman says. The diet given to farm animals often bears no relation to their natural diet, for example, feeding animal waste to vegetarian animals. And antibiotics are given to promote muscle growth, a practice which brings health problems of its own.
Farm animals are more likely to fall ill than animals in the wild for several reasons. First, stocking densities tend to be so high that parasites, for example, spread easily and quickly and become endemic.
Second, animals kept on farms are unlikely to have proper opportunities to exercise. Many, who live indoors, are even denied the health-giving properties of sunshine and fresh air. Farm animals may be exempt from the worst excesses of drought and starvation but their lifestyle is far from healthy. Inevitably, the circumstances in which animals are kept mean that psychological problems abound too.
Third, animals are unlikely to be able to enjoy the sort of range of foodstuffs that would be available to them in the wild. The diet farmers give to captive animals bears no relationship to the diet they normally live on. So, for example, farmers often give animal waste to vegetarian animals. In the USA, chicken excrement is fed directly to cattle (“to give them protein”) and the French Government has admitted illegally feeding human sewage to French cattle. Farmers in Britain routinely fed their cattle the ground-up brains and spinal cords of other cattle. (It was this that caused the disastrous outbreak of mad cow disease.) Farmers ignored the fact that herbivorous ruminants don’t eat meat and never engage in cannibalism.
The inescapable fact is that farm animals are bred for profit and, in general, the health of the animals is only of concern if it restricts the farmer’s ability to add the animal to the food chain and, therefore, interferes with profitability. Farmers may, indeed, be tempted to hide and cover up illness if this threatens to restrict their ability to add the animal to the food chain. An animal which needs special drugs may be excluded from the food chain on safety grounds – even though healthy animals are routinely given a wide variety of “acceptable” prescription drugs. For example, far more antibiotics are given to healthy animals than to sick human beings. Antibiotics produce muscle growth in animals, and more muscle means more meat, which means more profit.
In wild or semi-wild conditions, chickens live in forests in small groups, they scratch around on the forest floor eating worms, insects and bits of fresh plant. They use the dust and the sun to keep their feathers bright and they bathe when it rains. At night, they roost in trees (their claws are adapted for hanging onto branches even while asleep) so that they are safe from predators.’
Instead of supporting farmers to free livestock from cages onto pasture, the corporate captured government is promoting fake vegan or lab-grown meat replacing farmers with scientists to ensure all food profits are syphoned into CEO’s pockets.
Read; The global war on farming gathers pace; Alex Krainer; Trend Compass; 2 May 2025
‘British farmers are pushing back, but the government is preparing large-scale culling of livestock toward the end of 2025.’
‘Over the last few years I’m noticing that the grocery stores where I buy my food are less and less supplied with certain foods, particularly organic meat and periodically milk and eggs. The difference is very obvious and my Carrefour supermarket even reduced the shelf space where these foods are displayed. Certain types of meat that used to be regularly available, no longer are (at all, ever), and I can only find them from specialty butcher shops which thankfully still exist in France (although they are noticeably fewer now than they used to be).
This is not an accident but, as the British farmer and activist Mark Byford (a.k.a. the Bowler Hat Farmer) lays out in this (highly recommended) interview, it is part of the global war on farming, comprising a barrage of administrative and regulatory measures designed to make farming unprofitable, incentivising farmers not to produce food and encouraging them to sell their farms: it’s war on carbon, war on nitrogen, war on bird flu and other viruses, war on Russian fertilisers, inheritance taxes, rewilding schemes, “get out of farming” payouts and burgeoning compliance rules and bureaucracies to oversee it all.’
The Bowler Hat Farmer gives solid examples that point to the controlled demolition of our independent food producers.
Watch; This is what #KierStarmer’s treacherous #Labour government are doing to our food supply; Crypto Rich, 1 May 2025
The Bowler Hat Farmer; “This is a worldwide blitz on farmers. In the wholesale food supply side; there is now 72% less food floating around the planet than there was pre pandemic.”
Richard Gage; “That’s a recipe for a famine.”
The Bowler Hat Farmer; “If you grow wheat on a farm, so you earn a £160 an acre, or they’ll pay you to plant pretty flowers under the set aside schemes and pay you £300- £400 an acre to do nothing.”
Richard Gage; “So you save time and you get more money and then there’s less food. So then there’s the land being given over for solar farms to plant agricultural land, there’s the sanctions on urea and fertiliser from Belarus and Russia. I didn’t know about the seeds being manipulated in such a way that you need more fertiliser which is now more expensive. Then there’s the changes to building regulations making it easier for the government to force people to sell their land, to sell their homes in order to build on agricultural land so we have less and less land available for farming.”
The Bowler Hat Farmer; “They are dumping all the milk, they milk the cows and then tip it down the drains, millions of litres on a daily basis across the country. There’s plenty of milk. And then in ten, twelve days, you’ve got £100,000 gone down the drain with no way of getting that money back. And this is deliberate to smash the industry. People don’t realise but within the next six months, we’re going to have a huge food crisis.
When I went to school, carbon was the gas of life. We were taught chemistry, were taught about photosynthesis and how it all worked. If we had more carbon dioxide, we had more food on the planet”.
Richard Gage; “I wonder at people who believe carbon dioxide is bad for us, they just believe the mantra because they’ve never questioned it. How far is it already bad for the planet while mining for metals, making munitions, sending them across this planet to drop on people in foreign lands, that’s carbon neutral apparently.”
Zuckerberg and Gates are names behind the mandating of dangerous mRNA vaccines, over-vaccinating and over-dosing our pets.
Watch; Bill Gates Caught Spiking Pet Vaccines with Depopulation Drugs; TPV Sean, 28 May 2025
Intro; ‘Something is deeply wrong with our pets. Cancer is skyrocketing. Autoimmune diseases are everywhere. And more cats and dogs are dying suddenly – in ways no vet can explain.
“Pet owners are witnessing the unimaginable. Cats – who normally hide away to die – are screaming in pain, clawing at their own faces, crying for help no one can give.
This isn’t normal. And it’s not a coincidence. For years, the global elite have claimed that pet dogs and cats are a luxury the planet can’t afford, that dogs and cats consume too much, eat too well, and leave too large a carbon footprint. The media were enlisted to push the propaganda. They suggested, generally at first, that maybe we should start letting go, but we didn’t. So now they’ve stopped asking.
Buried in obscure veterinary studies, a darker strategy is underway. This isn’t about messaging anymore, it’s about biological control, a silent calling. And behind it, the same name that always seems to surface when depopulation is the goal, Bill Gates. Coming up, how routine pair vaccines are being used as delivery systems for experimental biotech, patented compounds, mRNA formulas, not designed to protect, but to eliminate. We’ll follow the money, the patents and the place behind it all. Because if this plan succeeds, our pets won’t just be in danger, they’ll be gone.’
Thanks to Robert Kennedy jnr., Big Pharm’s gravy train of US taxpayers funds into its unsafe and ineffective human and animal vaccines, has hit a major set back.
On Wednesday, End Point News reported that the Trump Administration has terminated a contract worth $766 million with Moderna to develop a bird flu vaccine, with the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) citing that continued investment in the vaccine was not scientifically or ethically justifiable.
Moderna had received an initial award of $176 million in July 2024, which was later expanded to include an additional $590 million in January, and the company had expected to advance the programme into late-stage development with the assistance of the government.
The termination of the contract adds uncertainty to the vaccine’s future, according to Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel, who stated that the company will explore alternative paths forward for the programme.
The decision is part of a shift in the Trump Administration’s approach to vaccines, which has changed since the days of Operation Warp Speed, when the administration worked closely with drug makers, including Moderna, to speed the development of mRNA-based “vaccines” for covid.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a long-time vaccine sceptic, has cut vaccine contracts and research, and has upset covid-specific guidance, including rescinding existing covid injection recommendations for healthy children and pregnant women.
The Administration’s reconsideration of the bird flu investment comes as two other Moderna products are under review at the FDA, including the company’s next-generation covid “vaccine” and its RSV vaccine, which is being considered for expansion to include high-risk younger adults.

Listen; Bluetongue, Biosecurity and the Livestock Jab Agenda; UK Column, 28 May 2025
Mike Robinson, UK Column Presenter; “Just a few days ago the UK government announced that, from the 1st of July, farmers will be able to move animals around England without a blue tongue licence.”
Charles Malet, UK Column Presenter; “The way I would put it is that the bio security state as we’ve come to know it is evolving and we see this tweet here from APHA (Animal and Plant Health Agency) who are moving into a state of complete control by the inherent corruption of the system which underpins it. It’s possible to track this shift from killing everything, ‘the ‘slaughter on suspicion’ policy, to vaccinating everything. The APHA continues to assume more and more control over the outcomes for livestock, tweeting about the restriction of the blue tongue zone covering all of England. Agricultural policy, now being a devolved matter, means that what are called ‘movement tests’ will not be required. In an email to who they’re calling ‘stakeholders’, it’s made perfectly clear that the reason for this is an expectation that one of three vaccinations will be used on animals deemed susceptible. Here we see an encouragement to discuss vaccination with your vet as though there may be more than one outcome from such a discussion. Now all available vaccines are authorised on an emergency basis according to the Veterinary Medicines Regulations 2013. To better understand what happens if one does follow the science, it’s Schedule 4 that contains key details, and they say that the animal may be treated with any one of these things in order to avoid unacceptable suffering. So effectively, this is where a vaccine doesn’t already exist. They may use a product for another species or for another condition in the same species. They may use a human medical product authorised in the United Kingdom. They may use a product authorised in any other country for use in any food producing animal species. Or they may even use a product produced extemporaneously by a pharmacist, a veterinary surgeon, or a person holding a manufacturing authorisation. In other words, for that last one, someone who’s basically guessing with absolutely no research and no preparation. So one might think that with goal posts that far apart, it’s little wonder that investment in vaccines has increased so significantly in recent years.”
This is what Bill Gates had to say about his own involvement:
Video presenter; you invested ten billion $ in vaccinations over the last two decades, and you figured out the return on investment for that. It kind of stunned me. Can you walk us through the math?
Bill Gates; “it’s pretty impressive that I mean, you take these vaccines, get them to be very inexpensive by making big volume commitments, have that right relationship with the private sector, get the delivery system so they’re really getting the coverage out there, you literally save millions of lives. And twenty years ago when we created these new multilateral organizations, GAVI for the vaccines, Global Fund for HIV, TB and Malaria. We didn’t know they’d be successful. They’ve gone through lots of challenges about making sure the money gets there, making sure the efficiency is right. But as we look at upcoming replenishments for those and we’ve got so much distractions politically that the international needs like this could get eclipsed if we’re not careful, and we see a phenomenal track record.
It’s been a hundred billion $ overall that the world’s put in. Our foundation is a bit more than ten billion $, but we feel there’s been over a 20 to one return. So if you just look at the economic benefits that’s a pretty strong number compared to anything else.
Charles Malet UK Column Presenter; ” If you’re listening and not watching, then I should tell you that for the last bit where he was talking about the money, he couldn’t help but break into a broad smile because, really, that’s what it’s all about. Hand in hand with the requirement for vaccination has to be the demonstration of a threat, emergent or endemic, which is where the Animal and Plant Health Agency comes in. And this is what they say about their role. So as you listen, take a note of the specific language that they use.
The Animal and Plant Health Agency; “AFAA’s role in controlling blue tongue is that we have the responsibility for controlling animal disease in Great Britain. It’s our job to detect cases as they come through, so farms and vets will report suspicion of disease to us. We’ll then go out and look at those animals. We’ll take the samples sent into Pirbright. They are the lead laboratory for blue tongue.
So the Pirbright Institute has a wide range of expertise ranging from not only the laboratory testing aspect, but also around modeling of disease outbreaks, Culicoides surveillance, and really supporting disease control. So they’re now really preparing ourselves for an outbreak later this year, spread by the Culicoides midge, and is able to infect all known ruminant species, including cattle, sheep, goats, and camels.
Charles Malet UK Column Presenter; “There we go. Responsibility for controlling animal disease, he said, which is done by our testing and the use of the lab at Pirbright. Now that video was published last year, and it illustrates perfectly how the required outcome may be achieved. Funded in part by the government, the Pirbright Institute here boasts via the UKRI (UK Research Institute) of combating animal disease, and they go on to crow about attracting international investment, citing a $5,500,000 investment from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation back in 2019 to establish the Livestock Antibody Hub. This funding is channeled through the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, a bit of a mouthful, the BBSRC.
And there has since been a partnership between them and the Gates Foundation as well as the foreign and commonwealth and development office investing a further $40 million into Pirbright. So bearing in mind, Gates is expecting a 20 fold return on such an investment. It should be perfectly obvious that accepting such funding is completely inappropriate, and it compromises every process which occurs thereafter.
I mentioned this on May 8, the vaccines themselves may freely enter the food chain.
This note from the European Medicines Agency refers to the inclusion of adjuvants, aluminum hydroxide, and saponin, and goes on to say that the withdrawal period is zero days, meaning that an animal may be jabbed and milked in the same day.”
“There are multiple references to the threat posed by zoonotic spillover, which we are told is the transmission of pathogens from animals to humans, even if the animals are not actually ill. And as always, there’s no need for it to make any sense.
The government has just updated its carbon footprint analysis for the year 2022, and this graph shows exactly how the book cooking exercise works. The destruction of the countryside and the crippling of the economy may be shown to bring about a small decline in the production of domestic greenhouse gases, but this is perfectly offset by the increase in imported goods.
Finally, the evolution of the biosecurity state is confirmed by the trials of a testing regime called DIVA, which is said to be able to distinguish between cattle, which are supposedly infected with TB and those which have been vaccinated. So in conclusion, and as if it were really necessary to reinforce the point that vaccination is only an exercise in control and profit. This announcement says that ‘as with other vaccines, a range of protection is expected. Some animals will be fully or only partially protected after vaccination, whilst others will remain susceptible to the disease’.”
US Trade Agreement to further undermine our farmers and livestock well being.
Read; Starmer is about to hammer the final nail in British farming’s coffin; Jamie Blackett, The Telegraph, 19 May 2025
Farmers and fishermen are right to be worried they are being sold out by the Government. Seeing car workers in Labour constituencies favoured above rural residents in Tory and Liberal ones, doesn’t make it any easier to swallow. The feeling that we are being sold out to proffer international trade deals is inescapable.
British wheat futures have already fallen on the news that 1.4 billion litres of bioethanol can come here annually duty free, the same quantity that we currently produce domestically. That may transfer jobs from the North of England to America’s Trump voting corn-belt. If, as they have threatened, the UK’s two bioethanol plants in Hull and Teesside close, then 2m tonnes of feed wheat grown by arable farmers in the North will have to go elsewhere.
Livestock farmers will also be hit, as the main by-product of ethanol production is animal feed. That will now become more expensive, making it harder for our beef and pig farmers to compete globally. The other by-product is carbon dioxide, something we are short of in the UK. It’s badly needed by the NHS.
It’s an example of how Britain’s agri-industrial base could be eroded if government policy moves too far from protecting domestic production towards free trade, as happened with nearly fatal consequences prior to WW2 when we were ill prepared to withstand Hitler’s U-Boat blockade. Starmer’s Labour manifesto slogan: “Food security is national security” now looks hollow.
Farming unions have so far based many of their arguments on lurid scare stories about chlorinated chicken and hormone treated beef. These concerns have been answered by the government as both categories are specifically banned in the treaty. And some American ranchers have started producing hormone-free beef for British markets.
But until we have transparent food labelling, particularly for ready-meal ingredients, and proper customs checks, we cannot have much confidence in the food standards of imported produce. In 2013 we had horsemeat on supermarket shelves masquerading as beef. And while many overseas farmers still don’t have to tag cattle or keep whole-life medicine records there is little hope of food traceability. We are only one imported meat sandwich away from another foot and mouth epidemic.
It is very hard to argue against free trade when it leads to lower food prices for all. What everyone should be focusing on is whether free trade is fair trade: the terms of trade between countries and whether British farmers’ competitiveness is being unfairly hampered by the Government. We are farming with one hand tied behind our backs. This point was made, ironically enough, by US Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on her visit to the UK last week.
Subsidy removal in the UK puts British farmers at a disadvantage to their EU and US counterparts, who still have generous subsidies or a federal crop insurance programme to fall back on. We also have to comply with far more expensive red tape. And overseas farmers are not having to plan for a penal inheritance tax that would see the government take 20 percent of the value of their farms and herds every generation through the Chancellor’s family farm tax.
On Thursday, the influential Westminster Environment Food and Rural Affairs Committee, dominated by Labour MPs, asked the Chancellor to look again at her inheritance tax plans. She should listen.’
Though producing quality food, not energy, on our land should be a priority, the trade deal with the US means that UK farmers producing wheat for bio-ethanol will be unfairly undercut by imports from the US where the government keeps energy costs low, effectively subsidising US production. Farming Today 29 May interviews a UK ethanol producer who explains how unfair the US trade agreement is on UK farmers who cannot compete with cheap ethanol imported from the US
Intro; ‘Farmers who supply wheat to Britain’s biggest bioethanol plant have been told it may have to close unless the government intervenes. Bioethanol is added to the E5 and E10 petrol you see at the pumps to reduce its carbon emissions – it’s made by fermenting wheat to make alcohol, with the leftovers being used for animal feed. Vivergo Fuels says it will be impossible to compete with subsidised American ethanol, after the recent trade agreement with the US promised to scrap tariffs on imports.’
Managing Director, Vivergo Fuels; “Over the last decade, we’ve taken wheat from about 12,000 farms. And at capacity, we can process about a million tons per year. So 3,000 tons per day of wheat comes through our factory gates. And that wheat just has a slightly lower protein content than it would have were it to be used in flour to make bread, cakes, biscuits, etcetera.”
BBC Presenter; “How great an impact then will the removal of tariffs on U. S. Bioethanol have on The UK market?”
Managing Director, Vivergo Fuels; “The tariff free ethanol will completely displace us in the UK market. It’s a subsidised ethanol. They use genetically modified crops, genetically modified yeast. All the advantages they have, we don’t have. In this deal, effectively, the government has given us no room to compete at all.”
Starmer, a US/ World Economic Forum proxy, wants to drag us towards the American system of toxic food, diet-related disease epidemics and a predatory health system that bankrupts 500,000 Americans every year.
The latest UK/US trade treaty and what it means for our food and farming
Listen; UK Keeps Bans on US Chlorinated Chicken and Hormone Treated Beef; UK Column News, 9 April 2025
Mike Robinson; “So they’re saying; ‘the government has been clear that we will only ever sign trade agreements which align with UK/US national interests. Hormone treated beef and chlorinated chicken is and will remain illegal in the UK. Any US imports will continue to need to meet UK Food Standards’. So they’re saying that it’s written into the text of this agreement and as a result of that there’s no chance of these products coming into the UK. But there’s been a lot of talk over the last couple of years about chlorinated chicken, Patrick, but what about this hormone-imbued beef, what’s that all about?”
Patrick Henningsen; “How do you really regulate all of this stuff? Because the US market is so deregulated, endocrine disruptors and the correlation or the causation for obesity. America has an obese problem, everybody knows that, and Britain and Europe are catching up very quickly. Endocrine disrupting chemicals they’re calling obesogens, so they’ve actually got a name for these chemicals and these synthetic hormones. They’re promoting weight gain, and they’re saying that it includes compounds to which the human population is exposed to in daily life through their use of pesticides and herbicides that get into the food chain via the agricultural process, pesticides and herbicides, industrial household products, Fairy Liquid and Unilever products also fall into these categories, flame retardants, etcetera.
The Soil Association will tell you all about hormonal beef. There’s a carcinogen problem with a lot of these things and it’s becoming more and more prevalent. The lawsuits speak for themselves on this. The Soil Association is really up to date on regulation. So it’s a great resource. So I encourage people to go there.”
Mike Robinson; “We’ve talked about beef, we talked about chicken. What about pork? In 2020 the British company Genus announced that they had succeeded in using CRISPR technology to gene-edit pigs to protect them from porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, otherwise known as PRRS. You’d be glad to know that these pigs have been approved this week by the US Food and Drug Administration to enter the food chain! My question then is, ‘will they be sold on the UK market following this deal’?!
Henningson; “Well, remember that it’s the UK which leads the world, at least on a legislative point of view, on the question of gene editing. So I’m going to suggest that perhaps the answer to that is yes”.
Mike Robinson; “I think this is the key take away from this whole thing. What we’re seeing is a first step here, and if they’re saying that hormone-infused beef and chlorinated chicken are not part of this particular deal, then don’t worry, there’s the opportunity in the future to expand this much broader. So we need to keep an eye on what they’re doing.”
Patrick Henningsen; “Yeah, and we know how to devastate and wipe out UK agriculture and livestock just by announcing outbreaks of viruses, magic invisible particles like foot and mouth and bird flu…. Let’s cull the entire livestock and bird population just to be safe! It’s not deadly to humans, it’s not even deadly to birds or even cows. Let’s just kill them all, just in case!.”
It doesn’t matter to Starmer’s government that people don’t want to be poisoned by toxic US imports. His Davos fantasy of global trade and corporate profits comes first.
Read; How will the US trade deal affect UK Farmers?; Farmers Guide, 9 May 2025
‘there are concerns that hormone-treated beef could still get into the UK.
Liz Webster, a beef farmer and co-founder of Save British Farming, told the BBC the deal was a “sell-out” and that the USA had “no facility to filter out the good stuff from the bad stuff”.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4, Surrey beef farmer Ian McCubbine agreed it would be hard to tell if any imports of beef contained added hormones.’
Interestingly, Brook Rawlings, US Agriculture Secretary, urges against imports and high taxes to ensure national farmers stay in business.

Brook Rawlings, US Agriculture Secretary, dismisses our concerns around importing US chlorine washed chicken, while Bristol University exposes the truth of endemic diseased chickens in the US.
Listen; Chlorine chicken; BBC Farming Today, 17 May 2025
Presenter; “American farmers can use chlorine and other washes to take away harmful bacteria which might be present on the birds, something that’s been banned in the UK since 1997. Brooke Rollins was asked whether any tariff reduction on wider UK meat exports to the US will be dependent on the UK accepting imports of American chicken treated with chlorine.
Brooke Rollins (US Secretary of Agriculture); ” Well, let’s first talk about chlorine chicken. I think that is a narrative in your country that perhaps we have not done a good enough job pushing back on. Only about 5 percent of our chicken in America is actually treated with the chlorine. So we have moved over the last decade completely away from the quote ‘chlorine’ chicken. So that’s, I think that’s a really important myth to dispel and I’m and I’m great grateful to do that.”
Presenter; “So is chlorine washed chicken merely a myth to dispel? I asked Paul Wigley, who is Professor in Animal Microbial Ecosystems at Bristol University’s vet school.”
Paul Wigley; “I think the majority is washed by an antimicrobial wash. What’s used will vary from company to company. Chicken meat production is big business and they probably won’t make it public what they are using, but no doubt they will be using an antimicrobial wash which may be chlorine or maybe another chemical. The reason that US chicken is banned in Europe and the UK, it’s not because it’s washed in chlorine, it’s because they’re perceived as a high public health risk from the levels of salmonella. The production of chicken in the US is so low in standard that these birds have high levels of pathogens such as salmonella on them, and then they are required to use the treatment to get rid of the pathogen, when it’s really down to the poor production that’s the issue. And in the UK it’s illegal, and the EU actually, it’s illegal to use these washes. But as you say, it’s to do with welfare and it’s to do with method of production.
Presenter; “Can you explain how the UK and US approaches differ when it comes to Disease Control?”
Paul Wigley; “In the UK there’s a requirement to test flocks while they are still alive, for the presence of salmonella, to have minimum standards of biosecurity, standards of hygiene and quite importantly breeders will be also vaccinated against salmonella, which means it’s very unlikely to enter the production. We also use a system called ‘All in all Out’ in that we will bring a batch of chicks in, rear them through to slaughter age and then the house will be cleaned and disinfected before another group of chickens are brought in. In the USA is what’s called the litter system where they just put more material on top of the already dirty material within the house. It’s suggested that this composts and heats up and it kills salmonella. But if someone who’s worked 30 years on salmonella, I very much doubt that.”
Presenter; “Why such different approaches?”
Paul Wigley; “So a simple analogy is a bit like going for a walk out in a nice bit of parkland, if you see a pile of dog muck, us in the UK and Europe would avoid the dog muck because we know if you get that on your shoe, it’s not pleasant. the US approach has been to completely ignore the dog muck. Now, you may or may not tread in the dogmuck, but if you tread in the dogmuck, we all know it’s incredibly difficult to get off and you’re never absolutely sure that you’ve removed it all, particularly if you think of the tread of shoes, there’s always that horrible bit left. It’s a bit like that. We avoid getting salmonella in our chicken, whereas the US looks to get rid of salmonella from their chicken. The really big producers are really focused on producing that product as cheaply as possible and maximising profit.”
Presenter; “The US Agriculture secretary, Brooke Rollins was suggesting in her Interview That the US is moving away from this approach where chicken is washed with either chlorine or antimicrobials afterwards. Is that what you understand?
Paul Wigley; “From people I know within the US Department of Agriculture who work on Salmonella, there is certainly a focus of moving more towards this on farm control and probably coming a little bit closer to how Europe controls full-blown pathogens. Unfortunately, for the US’s sake, it’s got a long way to go, it’s at least 20 years behind where we are, but it would be great for people’s health around the world if they did move to that. Another point, which is perhaps not obvious, is the US has huge influence on developing poultry production. For example, in Latin America will really follow what the US does, so they are just transferring a problem onto other countries’ production.”
With cheap food flooding the UK market and taxes that encourage mechanisation, farmers are incentivised to get ever bigger, more industrialised and lower animal welfare standards.

‘Cranswick has suspended operations at its North Moor Farm in Lincolnshire after undercover footage allegedly showing illegal practices and poor animal welfare was made public.
The findings depict disturbing scenes including “piglet thumping” – a banned method of euthanasia – as well as botched shootings and animals left in poor living conditions.
The footage, released by Animal Justice Project, was reportedly captured in 2024 by an undercover investigator over several weeks.
The activist group said the footage was filmed at a farm run by Elsham Linc Ltd, owned by meat processor Cranswick, which supplies Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons.’

Read; Why organic growth in England is stalling; Soil Association, 9 May 2025
‘Soil Association Organic Development Advisor Adrian Steele said: “Scotland is continuing to lead the way on organic farmland and conversions with strong government support and ambitious targets to boost nature friendly farming. England is falling significantly behind with little or no discernible growth in total organic farmland in ten years and the freezing of the Sustainable Farming Incentives having an immediate impact on organic conversions.
“What is so disappointing is that the opportunity to supply the growing organic market is now being handed on a plate to farmers in the EU. Not only are our farming businesses missing out, but we are, as a country, falling further behind in meeting our targets for increasing biodiversity.”
“It is critical that the Government acts swiftly to replace the Sustainable Farming Initiative with a programme that will unlock the potential for UK home grown organic produce rather than stifling interest from farmers keen to adopt nature-friendly farming practices.
“But nine out of ten farmers, attending a recent webinar for those considering switching to sustainable, organic and nature-friendly farming, have expressed their frustration that the door has been shut on SFI payments which would support them to make the transition, discouraging them to commit without the reassurance that this offers.
“In the short term the Government could put organic back into the Countryside Stewardship scheme to provide an incentive for new entrants and the necessary maintenance support to avoid farmers losing faith and abandoning the sector.”
The success of organic in countries like France and the Republic of Ireland have proved the importance of having successful agro-environmental schemes in place and strong leadership. Adrian said: “There have been some positive conversations with Defra about an Organic Action Plan and its potential to mirror the success of many European countries and Scotland – but we desperately need to see this come to fruition.”
To farm in symbiosis with nature we must return to mixed farming where animals, not chemicals, fertilise the land. Pasture fed livestock may be more expensive than meat from animal factories but eating less but better meat would help cover the cost and be healthier for us and the planet and be kinder to the animals.
Read; Grazing Livestock: It’s not the cow but the how; Sustainable Food Trust, 9 May 2025
‘A transition away from farming systems that depend on chemical fertilisers and pesticides, to those which work with the land’s natural resources and biological processes, is urgently needed if we are to address climate change, restore biodiversity, improve public health and maintain food security. This transformation will be difficult, if not impossible, without the integration of grazing livestock.
Our report, Grazing Livestock: It’s not the cow but the how, explores the multiple benefits that grazing livestock could deliver as part of a UK food system transformation. Realising these benefits will require a shift away from the consumption of intensive livestock products, towards lower-input, pasture-based farming and diets that feature smaller amounts of high-quality meat and dairy.
Benefits of grazing livestock;
A nationwide transition to biologically based farming systems that do not rely on agrochemicals, would prioritise natural soil fertility building within crop rotations. Producing food from this process – which would also help to build carbon and break pest, weed and disease cycles – generally requires the use of grazing animals.
Carbon storage and sequestration; Natural fertility building within crop rotations, alongside regenerative grazing practices and, where possible, the integration of trees, could sequester hugely significant amounts of carbon over the coming decades, helping to tackle our climate impact, whilst delivering a range of other benefits.
Biodiversity; Although agriculture has been the single greatest contributor to biodiversity loss in the UK, it also has the potential to become a key part of the solution. A transition to pasture-based grazing systems that minimise the use of agrochemicals, reduce agricultural pollution and foster a greater diversity of habitats and species will be essential to achieving this.
Nutrition and food security; Livestock that are primarily fed on grass could significantly contribute to the UK’s supply of protein, fats and several key micronutrients. Grazing animals reared largely or solely on grass, rather than on grains that could otherwise be used for human consumption, would help to relieve the pressure on the supply of plant crops, benefiting food security.
Society and culture; Grazing livestock play a central role in the social and cultural life of many rural communities and help to maintain culturally cherished grassland landscapes. A shift to lower input, pasture-based systems across the UK could build on this in various ways, for instance, by creating livestock-related jobs in areas currently dominated by arable farming.

Petition; The ultra-processed food (UPF) industry has blocked government attempts to push shops to promote deals on healthy foods; The Soil Association
Join us in calling on the government to tell The Whole Truth about what we should be eating to protect our health.
Emails obtained by the Soil Association via the Freedom of Information Act show the UK government retracting from its plans to back “minimally processed foods” after months of persistent lobbying by the food manufacturing sector. This leaves the door open for business-as-usual sales of ultra-processed products, when the plans could have been used to steer retailers towards making genuinely healthy foods more affordable.
UPF industry lobbying exposed;
The government’s Department of Health and Social Care had planned to encourage retailers to shift the balance of price promotions towards minimally processed foods – which includes fruit, vegetables, beans, whole grains like rice and pasta, and unprocessed meat. But industry lobbyists, representing the UK’s biggest ultra-processed food companies, demanded this advice was removed from the guidance issued to retailers, despite overwhelming scientific evidence that minimally processed and whole foods are crucial for a healthy diet.
It’s time to take action;
Worldwide, the ultra-processed food industry spends millions of pounds every year, lobbying governments, reshaping health policy to protect their business interests. This can’t go on.
Join us in calling for the UK government’s Food Strategy to resist the influence of the ultra-processed food industry and make it easy for everyone to enjoy a minimally processed diet.
Ultra processed food is addictive, less nutrient dense and more reliant on chemicals.

R F Kennedy Jr; “The decline of American health really accelerated in the late 1980s and the early 1990s and a bunch of things happened then, a bunch of new exposures and at that time, the tobacco industry took over the food industry. So by the early 1990’s, the two biggest food companies in the world were RJ Reynolds and Philip Morris. They began moving scientists from the endeavour of making tobacco more addictive, to develop new lab ingredients that would make food addictive. They began adding sodium and sugars to our food and other chemicals to mimic tastes, but not to provide nutrition. Our food became more and more ultra-processed. It is less nutrient dense and it’s more reliant on chemicals. Those chemicals were largely untested due to the capture of FDA by the food industry and by the drug industry, they were able to weaponise what is called the GRAS standard, which is a standard called ‘generally recognised as safe’.”
Just as Big Pharma is immune from liability for injuries and deaths from the untested, ineffective, unsafe vaccine, so Bayer is demanding immunity for the injuries from spraying pesticides and herbicides. The American nightmare enters the next phase of self-harm and collapse.

Delaying the introduction of the new inheritance tax could buy time to get rid of it and thereby keep our precious independent family farmers feeding us.
Listen Call for inheritance tax pause BBC Farming Today, 17 May 2025
Presenter; “MPs have written to the government calling for a year’s delay to the inheritance tax changes on farms. As we’ve reported many times, from April next year inherited farmers and other agricultural assets worth more than £1 million will be liable to inheritance tax. At 20%, that’s half the usual rate the government says that a farming couple could pass on around £3 million tax free. The number of farms affected by this is disputed and farming groups fear the plans risk the breakup of family farms and will disproportionately affect elderly farmers. Without time to plan, Alistair Carmichael, Liberal Democrat MP and chair of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee, told me the plans should be paused.
Alistair Carmichael; “Look, we are persuaded that there is a need to reform inheritance tax, but it is as clear as day that the way in which the government is going to do it will bring lots of unintended consequences for farmers and for farming. And if you are going to put farmers in a place where they have to sell the land in order to pay their tax bill, and ultimately that is going to be bad for food production and for the government’s stated aims of wanting to get to a place of food security. So what we’re saying is pause the process, build the consensus that we know exists about closing the loophole that is clearly there whereby the super rich are using land to shelter their wealth and find a way of doing this, do the proper impact assessments, do the consultation so that farmers are not left as victims of the the the wider move which people generally support.”
Presenter; “Tom Bradshaw, the NFU president, doesn’t think that pausing is the way forward. He says that the policy is still fundamentally unfit, destructive, badly constructed and has to be changed. Isn’t pausing it for a year just delaying the inevitable?”
Alistair Carmichael; ” If all we were doing was to pause it, then yes, I think that would be a good point. But actually this is a pause with a purpose. It is a pause for the necessary impact assessment of the necessary consultation to be done and then with the view ultimately to coming back with something that is different. Quite honestly, given the time that is available now, I don’t think you’re ever going to change this without a pause of some sort.”
Presenter; “I don’t mean this to be a disrespectful question, but how much notice does the government actually take of the EFRA committee?”
Alistair Carmichael; “Any government has to be prepared to listen and the weakness in this whole debate so far has been the blunt refusal of Treasury ministers, as distinct from DEFRA, to listen to the farming unions, to listen to opposition politicians. And that’s why it’s significant that actually we have got Labour MPs on the backbenches now coming forward and saying we need to find a different way of doing this.

Watch this inspiring interview with Jim Gale, who is an ex-wrestler from Minnesota and founder of Food Forest Abundance, explaining permaculture and how to farm in communion with the diversity of the natural world.
Watch; Growing your own food is a winning idea; UK Column, 12 May 2025
Jim Gale; “Permaculture is a strategy to solve all of the world’s biggest problems. It is based on the ethics of people care, earth care and reinvesting our surplus to people care and earth care. And it has a set of principles that mimic and model after what works in a natural system. So for instance, I’m sitting here in a three-year old food forest. Three years ago, there was nothing around me but sand, Florida sugar sand, like what you can see on the ground right there. That was everywhere. Now I’m surrounded by a perennial food forest with over 280 different types of food-producing plants, and I can walk outside right now and, anytime I want, I can grab a meal for my family. And I’m not a farmer and I never want to be a farmer, I’m just a harvester because we’ve designed our land effectively and efficiently.”
“So permaculture is a way of integrating everything that you are growing with the environment, is that right?”
Jim Gale; “That’s right. Yep, nature, God’s design, whatever perspective you want to call it. Nature does all the work when we design it properly. For instance, the Amazon rainforest was a designed food forest 5,000 years ago.”
“How does that differ then from any other type of farming?”
Jim Gale; “Well, for one is we have no poisons in our system and we have no GMO crops in our system. And that’s the biggest thing is we take the poisons out and we use plants that are made for this zone. And we have a wide diversity of plants. So in an area this size, in a normal farm, there would be one crop, and that is not natural. You cannot grow food without poisons when you grow food in an unnatural way, because the locusts will come in, or the mice or the rabbits or whatever pest that you have there, it’ll come in and it’ll find a feast, and then it’ll have millions of babies and pretty soon you’ve got a plague of locusts with no food unless you want to eat locusts. This system is built on diversity, so diversity is the foundation of strength of the system. So right around me we have bananas and chia and mulberries and lychees and longans and guavas, and there’s just infinite diversity all around me, and the bug that likes the mulberry doesn’t like the guava typically.
When you add longevity to the idea of efficiency, it’s radically inefficient, So what we’re doing all around the world is we’re mining our soil and we’re destroying the microbiome that literally creates the life that we live here on Earth. So when you put these poisons down, you might be serving that one plant for a short term, but the nutrient density of our food has fallen off a cliff because now we’re growing it not for nutrient density and not for regeneration, we’re growing it simply so it looks good and it can be stored and transported to get on the shelf. So a monoculture is something like 100 acres of corn or soy or any of these crops that you drive by and it’s one monochromatic, one colour, one level.
What I’m sitting in is a food forest that is infinitely more productive and we don’t have to farm it, so everything that we’ve been taught in the last several generations by the Big Ag companies and the big poison-producing companies who have the marketing budget to convince us that what they’re doing is correct, everything that they’re teaching is absolutely opposite of what is functional and what works in a natural system. And I’ll go a few levels deeper here. We have about 47 million acres of lawn in the United States alone. If we simply took half of that, let’s call it 25 million acres, and we put regenerative permaculture food systems on there, then the 890 million acres of farmland that is mostly poisoned and being destroyed would literally go back to Nature.”
Microplastics from clothes in washing machine waste water, which is spread on land as compost, is ingested by insects and hedgehogs. Through the precautionary principle, we must regulate plastic production, use and disposal so it disappears from every sector till proven safe.
Listen; Plastic in insects BBC Farming Today, 27 May 2025
Presenter; “Plastic pollution is contaminating insects at the base of food chains, raising fresh concerns about the long term impact on wildlife, according to a new study by the University of Sussex. Researchers have discovered fragments of plastic in a wide range of invertebrates, which are prey for small mammals like hedgehogs. Polyester fibres, commonly shed from clothing, were the most frequently detected types of plastic, BBC SE environment correspondent Yvette Austin reports.”
Yvette Austin; “In an outdoor space at the University of Sussex, students are on the hunt for bugs. They wave nets among the long grass and tap trees to knock down the insects.”
Presenter; “Surveys like this have been going on across the county as part of research into plastic pollution, and the results are disturbing. Emily Thrift led the study.”
Emily Thrift; “We surveyed 51 different sites and from those they were from different land cover types. So this for example is an improved grassland and then we were in suburban areas, arable and horticulture as well as calcareous grasslands.”
Yvette Austin; “In the lab, each specimen was identified and then analysed. Emily shows me a series of photos taken through a microscope of fibres that were contained within the insect’s tiny bodies, and another with yellow, red and orange flecks of paint.”
Emily Thrift; “We found this in a common black garden beetle which is nylon and it was 4.5 millimetres long. It is really long for the size of the beetle itself, which is fairly small.”
Yvette Austin; “Out of the 581 samples, 12% contained plastics. In slugs and snails the figure was around one quarter and in earthworms one third.”
Presenter; “The research was prompted by the results of previous studies which revealed plastic in the faeces of small mammals such as hedgehogs, which feed on insects..”
Emily Thrift; “I think it’s really important from an insect point of view because they’re being eaten by animals higher up the food chain.”
Presenter; “So where is all this plastic coming from? Much of what is found is in the form of fibres from clothing. So the theory is that when dried human sewage sludge is used to fertilise some farmers’ fields, it contains the fibres coming out of our washing machines. Professor Fiona Matthews is an environmental biologist.
Fiona Matthews; “The thing that’s really surprising is just how many animals are now contaminated with plastics. If you think that you’re getting between 1/3 and 1/4 of things like earthworms and beetles having plastics in them, basically what we’re saying is it’s everywhere. And it means it’s not only in things like hedgehogs, it’s in blackbirds, and heaven knows, it’s probably in us as well. So we’re in a situation now where we really, really have to work to stop any more plastic getting into our environment.”

‘A wall of dust rose over the heartland of Illinois, claiming lives and reminding us: When we abuse the soil, our safety and security suffer. Regenerative Organic Agriculture is the path forward.
In the spring of 2025, central Illinois was swallowed by a wall of dust so dense it erased the horizon—and lives along with it. Vehicles collided in a deadly chain reaction on Interstate 55, as visibility vanished and the dust became a visible cry from the land, a desperate signal of the devastation being wrought upon it. This was not a natural disaster. It was the consequence of decades of extractive farming practices that leave the land bare, lifeless, and vulnerable. It was a warning that when we abuse the soil, we unravel the systems that protect our safety, our health, and our future. ‘President Roosevelt did more than create bureaucracies. He planted trees. Thousands of miles of shelterbelts and windbreaks were established across the Midwest, recognizing that roots hold soil, trees anchor climate, and perennial life is the guardian of the land. Today, the wisdom of that era is being buried under mountains of synthetic fertiliser, sprayed away by herbicides and pesticides, and plowed under by high-till monoculture systems that leave soil lifeless, structureless, and exposed. The result? Not just dust storms but the slow collapse of the very ecosystems that sustain us.
The current Administration’s response is the exact opposite of the Roosevelt Administration. While dust storms have swept across the Midwest, the Trump government has fired at least 1,700 NRCS employees whose very jobs have been to protect the soil, under increasingly difficult conditions where large corporations have intervened to put profit over the protection of the land. The modern agriculture system, built on inputs rather than relationships, treats soil as a medium rather than a mother. Glyphosate, dicamba, and other chemical cocktails degrade the biological communities that hold soil together—fungi, bacteria, worms, and insects.’
The neo liberal, Thatcher-type obsession with financialisation of homes, privatisation of vital industries that are natural monopolies, greed and competition has produced world of unaffordable houses and land, bankrupted farmers, toxic food, endless war, and an epidemic of depression. According to Starmer and Schwaub’s Brave New World fantasy all we need is more control from our corporate oligarchs.
Watch; Farmers Under ATTACK: The Truth About Land Theft & The Bilderberg Connection; Deep Dive Perspective with Tony Gosling, 25 May 2025
‘Is there a global elite agenda to steal YOUR land, control food supplies, and erase freedom? In this explosive Deep Dive Perspective, former BBC journalist Tony Gosling exposes the centuries-old theft of the commons—from medieval enclosures to Agenda 2030, BlackRock land grabs, and the Bilderberg Group’s role in shaping a dystopian future.’
Tony Gosling; “You wanted to talk about the book Tragedy of the Commons, the idea is to turn it into a tragedy, It wasn’t a tragedy, it was a theft, certainly in this country, which I’m most familiar, with over the centuries. We started off with the original settlement of land in villages around Britain in mediaeval times, something called the open field system. This is a feudal system brought in by the Normans, you had a small number of people living in the village and it was basically like giant allotments. You had no fertilisers in those days, so you had to use what’s called crop rotation. So you could only grow in a field for one or two years and then you have to leave it fallow for a year. This was a very inefficient system, apparently, and so somebody around the Elizabethan era decided we don’t need all these people on this land, we can turn a lot of it over to sheep and just put sheep on there and all these people can come and work in the factory in the town. And that’s why Britain was probably the first country in the world to make a conscious decision to go for mass urbanisation and do what China has done more recently to bring people from the countryside to work in factories in the cities there (TW comment; They call it bringing 800m Chinese people out of poverty – really?!). So that’s the history of the enclosures, which really was speeded up by the English Civil War, a massive amount of enclosure in Britain where land was then privatised. The people were turfed out of their houses. Many of the big manor houses you see around Britain were built in the 18th century on the money made from enclosure of land. So this was a form of privatisation, each village was done generally separately and quite a lot of the time there were riots around the country because of this. So for example when an enclosure notice was nailed to the door of the parish church, I always remember reading, I think it was Otmoor in Oxford, the rumour went around that the guy was coming from London to put the enclosure notice on the church and the whole parish came out, hundreds of people to stop the guy getting to the door so he couldn’t nail the notice to the door. This was for people who are very connected with the land as our family farmers are today, very connected with the land. And the benefit of that is that you look after it, your children’s children’s children’s children may be farming that land in 200 years time, and so you take great care of it. This is the same attitude as the Native Americans had to land, which was we really are going to care for this. And this is true environmentalism.”
Read; Local Food Matters; Local Futures; 30 May 2025
“It doesn’t matter where your food comes from, it’s what you eat that matters.”
This assertion is again being used by some pundits to discredit the environmental value of eating local. They encourage cutting down on meat – particularly beef – instead. On the surface, their arguments sound scientific, and they point to clean, attractive graphs.
Don’t let this derail your common sense. The truth is, whether plant-based or otherwise, food miles matter a great deal. Here are three points, and a short explanatory video, you can use to respond to those who are touting the “food miles are insignificant” argument:
1. They say: Emissions from food-miles are insignificant.
We say: Emissions from trade are chronically underestimated. Studies are finally proving it.
Countries generally calculate their emissions without taking into account supply-chains, while emissions from global trade are nowhere mentioned in the COP climate negotiations. This means trade-based emissions often go unaccounted, and numbers on this issue are seriously skewed.
Newer studies looking specifically at this issue have found food-mile emissions to be “between 3.5 and 7.5 times higher than previous estimates”, totaling 6% of total greenhouse gas emissions. The authors include emissions from energy-intensive refrigeration inherent in the transportation of fruit and vegetables in particular.
2. They say: Most food is shipped, and ships use much less fuel than airplanes. Supply-chain emissions from trucks are related to inter-regional trade, not global trade.
We say: Think again.
Cargo ships are responsible for rapidly growing emissions and chemical spills. They run on something called heavy fuel oil, which is more polluting than refined oil and has a greater greenhouse effect when burnt. As for trucks, they too are tied to global supply chains. Highly centralized processing, packing and exporting sees food needlessly trucked around and between countries on cross-continental mega-highways. Healthy local food systems cut out the vast majority of truck-based emissions, as well as ships and planes.
3. They say: It’s how food is produced that matters most, not how far it has travelled.
We say: A holistic view resolves this false dichotomy. Of course food production methods are vitally important when it comes to sustainability. But production is shaped by the market. Export begets monoculture. Going local makes a world of difference.
When farmers sell to a global market, they are forced to specialise in a narrow range of standardised commodities, and therefore to impose monoculture on the land – which is high-input, mechanised, fossil-fuel intensive and laden with toxic agrichemicals. It depletes soil, water, and eliminates biodiversity, while producing less food per acre. Some 90% of biodiversity loss in tropical regions is due to agricultural exports. The spread of factory farming, too, has gone hand-in-hand with the globalisation of the economy.
Meanwhile, local markets require a diversity of products and can respect seasonality. Thereby, local food economies support and encourage diversified, natural farming. Local food systems, and the smaller-scale farms they support, increase biodiversity, restore carbon-rich soils, reduce chemical dependency, and rely more on human workers than heavy machinery – even as they produce much more food per acre (1,2).
CO2
Another example of ridiculous NetZero tunnel vision is a horrifying project by Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) to selectively breed sheep so that they emit less CO2. Apparently research in New Zealand ‘suggests’ that this could reduce sheep methane emissions by 1-2%. For this miniscule reduction, they don’t care about the suffering of the sheep which will be trapped in nightmarish “Portable Accumulation Chambers’ to measure the amount of CO2 they emit, causing the sheep, which are used to grazing open spaces, indescribable terror and stress. Will the next step be for the government to reward farmers that breed and supermarkets to only buy ‘climate-friendly’ sheep? Thus penalising farmers who breed traditional sheep bred to thrive on pasture not emit to less CO2!
Read; Global project seeks to breed greener sheep to curb climate change; Farminguk, 16 May 2025
‘Now in its second year, the project uses Portable Accumulation Chambers (PACs) in each partner country to gather individual animal methane measurements. In the UK, this includes around 450 lambs from SRUC’s Hill and Mountain Research Centre near Loch Lomond, and roughly 500 performance-recorded Texel lambs. The research will continue through to 2027. John Yates of the Texel Sheep Society said: “Methane measurement using Portable Accumulation Chambers is still in its early stages, but if scalable and affordable, it could play a vital role in breeding programmes.”
Dr Nicola Lambe of SRUC added: “A crucial aspect of this project is understanding what impacts there might be of reducing emissions on other animal characteristics such as growth, feed intake and efficiency, and quantifying the effects of these.”
“This will enable recommendations for breeding programmes to be determined in tandem with the economic implications of selecting for low-methane sheep.”
If we don’t do the research, we are easy to brain wash.

Presenter; “Back in the 1950’s, the five sons of John D Rockefeller, who clearly was a sociopath, the robber baron, he was obsessed with internationalism and he was obsessed with the idea that we needed to have one world government essentially where the elite like him could manage the world and do their trade with no limits, and have the little people just do whatever work he needed them to do. And he taught his sons well. So his five sons in the 1950s, they set up the Rockefeller Brothers Fund that we need to shape a new world order in all its aspects, political, spiritual, financial, etcetera. I mean, they wrote it all down in the Brothers Fund initiation. It’s all published. So they said what they were doing, and after 70 years, they’re well on their way to getting it. They also knew that they would not get it within their lifetime, and they didn’t have a problem with that, they knew it would take like half a century, maybe a century, and that didn’t bother them. They’re not like ordinary people who focus on things next week, next month, maybe next year, maybe 10 years. They focus on things that will come to fruition long after their death. But their sons and their children will take over the dynasty. So they’re long gamers in an extreme way. But to give an example, they identified in the 1950s, climate disaster as an opportunity. So that was before there was any scientist in the room. So for the next fifty, sixty or seventy years, through myriad organisations and funding activist groups, they got us to a stage where 90% of the climate scientists agreed there’s a catastrophe.”
John Coleman, Co-founder, the Weather Channel; “CNN has taken a very strong position on global warming. That it is a consensus, well, there is no consensus in science. Science isn’t a vote, science is about facts, and if you get down to the hard cold facts, there’s no question about it, climate change is not happening, there is no significant man- made global warming now. There hasn’t been any in the past and there’s no reason to expect any in the future. There’s a whole lot of baloney and yes, it has become a big political point of the Democratic Party and part of their platform and I regret it’s become political instead of scientific, but the science is on my side. There is no global warming.
The government puts out about 2.5 billion dollars directly for climate research every year. It only gives that money to scientists who will produce scientific results that support the global warming hypothesis of the Democrat party’s position. So they don’t have any choice. If you’re going to get the money, you’ve got to support their position. Therefore, 97% of the scientific reports published support global warming. Why? Because those are ones the government pays for, and that’s where the money is. It’s real simple, but that doesn’t mean it’s right, that doesn’t make it true, that only makes it bought and paid for. The money goes in circles. There are 31,000 scientists who have signed a petition that says it is not valid, that my position is correct and we’ll keep battling.”

Read; China has installed kill switches in solar panels sold to the West; Mail Online, 16 May 2025
‘Engineers have discovered ‘kill switches’ embedded in Chinese-manufactured parts on American solar farms, raising fears Beijing could manipulate supplies or ‘physically destroy’ grids across the US, UK and Europe. Energy officials are assessing the risks posed by small communication devices in power inverters – an integral component of renewable energy systems that connects them to the power grid. While inverters are built to allow remote access for updates and maintenance, the utility companies using them typically install firewalls to prevent direct communication back to China. But rogue communication devices not listed in product documents have been found in some solar power inverters by US experts who strip equipment hooked to grids to check for security issues, two sources told Reuters. Using these devices to skirt firewalls and switch off inverters remotely, or change their settings, could destabilise power grids, damage energy infrastructure and trigger widespread blackouts.
‘That effectively means there is a built-in way to physically destroy the grid,’ one of the sources declared. The discovery has raised fears Beijing may maintain the capability to wreak havoc on power grids across the Western world such is the reliance of renewable energy systems on Chinese-manufactured parts. British solar panels use parts manufactured in a variety of countries, including China. It is not known whether the Chinese ‘killswitches’ are present in any power converters installed on UK wind or solar farms. But shadow energy minister Andrew Bowie yesterday called on Labour’s Secretary for Energy Security and Net Zero Ed Miliband to carry out an ‘immediate pause and review’ of its efforts to transition to green power.’
Dr Patrick Moore, ex CEO Greenpeace Canada, says the climate change narrative is a false emergency.
Watch “It is not too hot now. It is one of the coldest periods in the history of the Earth” Wide Awake Media, 16 May 2025
Dr Patrick Moore; “There are three things you need to know to know that this whole thing about the climate change disaster or catastrophe or emergency is false. First, it is not too hot now. It is one of the coldest periods in the history of the Earth. That’s why there’s all that ice on the poles, which wasn’t there for 150 million years before this Ice Age. There was no ice anywhere on this Earth because it was warmer, much warmer than it is today. Second, CO2 is lower now in the atmosphere than it has been throughout nearly the entire history of the Earth. Right now it’s at 420 (parts per million). During the most recent glacial maximum, it went down to 180 parts per million, which is not far above the death of plants, because plants don’t just need CO2, they need a certain concentration of it. And even at 420 it is still nowhere near the optimum level for plants. It should be 800-1200. And then you start getting much lusher vegetation all over the world. And already the greening of the earth as a result of our emissions of CO2 is 30% increased growth in the lush areas in the world. And the third thing you need to know is all the CO2 that we are putting into the atmosphere, where did it come from? How did it get in the fossil fuels? By plants pulling it out of the atmosphere and the oceans. The plankton in the sea, the vegetation on the land turned into coal, oil and gas and were lost from the air and the oceans. So all we’re doing is replacing carbon dioxide. If there wasn’t enough CO2 for the plants, we would all die too because in the final analysis, plants are the bottom of the food chain. So how can people be worried about putting CO2 back into the air and water which was there in the first place? There’s nowhere else it could have come from. It didn’t come from Mars. It didn’t come from the rocks. It came from the air and water where it was much higher. And now we are, we are replenishing the CO2 to a much better level than it had gone down to. We are the actual salvation of life on Earth. No other species could have done what we have done by burning fossil fuels for energy.”
Starmer’s obsession with NetZero means covering land, our most precious food-producing asset, nourished by farmers for generations, with double decker sized solar panels.
Watch; Residents are devastated; Councillor Victoria Aitken, 10 May 2025
“I’ve just been talking to some of our local residents. You know what, they’re devastated. I’m here in our beautiful rural Howdenshire and this land isn’t going to look like this for much longer. Yesterday the Government gave the green light to the East Yorkshire Solar Farm. It’s going to cover 1,277 hectares just here in rural Howdenshire, the equivalent of 1,800 football pitches or dropping a city the size of Durham right here in prime agricultural land. We all support renewable energy, but this isn’t about being green, it’s about bad government policy that is putting our food security at risk. For years now, David Davis MP and I have been fighting to challenge governments both past and present on the country’s energy policies, demanding solutions that work for local people, not against them. Yet despite our efforts, this government has now overruled the voices of the very communities that are affected. Across Europe, solar is installed on brownfield sites, car parks, industrial estates and of course rooftops. But here in the UK we’re sacrificing farmland that should be growing food, but instead we’re using it to create power. Yes, the planning process does entail consultation, but I’m very sceptical and believe that the consultation is about mitigation on predetermined decisions. What is the inevitable? I never felt at any time during the consultation that the voices of the people of Howdenshire could stop the development of this solar farm. It’s an outrage that national policy allows this. Some farmers struggling financially have put their land forward for these developments. But what happens when more and more farmland disappears? The wider community loses out as we undermine the food production and make ourselves more reliant on those imports. This government had a choice, they could have listened, they could have planned smarter, but instead they imposed a diktat from Westminster, pushing aside local voices to force through the mass industrialisation of our countryside. This isn’t progress, it’s a reckless policy that threatens the UK’s food security and rural heritage. And if we don’t challenge it now, it won’t stop with East Yorkshire. If you care about our rural landscape, our agricultural future and the food we grow in Britain, then make your voice heard. It’s time for smart renewable energy using brownfield sites, not greenfield sites. Let’s fix this policy before it’s too late. Share this video, spread the message, and let’s continue to fight for better government policies that protect our countryside and our future, as well as, of course, future green Humber, green Humber energy like hydrogen, carbon capture, wind out in the North Sea, even wave power, maybe. We’ve got to be able to do it better than destroying this beautiful countryside. Thanks everyone and keep sharing the message.”
Another huge solar project which will obliterate centuries-old agricultural fields under shining black glass, and another community fighting for the survival of their precious habitats, wildlife, farming communities and landscapes.
Watch; Our friends in Mid Norfolk are mounting a big campaign to stop solar farms being developed all over our beautiful Norfolk countryside. Let’s get behind them Reform UK Norwich, 19 May 2025
Kabeer Kher; “The High Grove Solar Project is going to take up 4,000 acres of farmland and habitat across 5 sites near Swaffham and Dereham in Mid Norfolk. This project is one of five large-scale solar projects that’s roughly the size of 2,200 football pitches. That land is Grade Two and Three arable land, and it’s going to reduce our food security, which is already the lowest it’s been since World War 2. “
Jaden Lister; ” Solar only works as a top up and only when the demand is next to the supply. The UK has the second worst climate for solar in the whole of Europe and the fifth worst in the entire world.”
Kabeer Kher; “The transmission lines needed for these solar farms makes them uneconomic without massive subsidies. The increased volatility in the National Grid supply, which leads to increased blackouts and disruption, as we’ve just seen in Spain and Portugal. And these solar panels are really easily damaged by stormy weather.”
Jaden Lister; “The evidence shows wind and solar increase energy prices. The UK already has the most expensive electricity in the world. With this project it will undoubtedly lock people into high energy prices for decades. So while we support renewable energy, we believe solar should be sited on rooftops or car parks, not on viable farmland.”
Kabeer Kher; “The High Grove project risks fire hazards from lithium-ion battery storage, which can emit toxic chemicals, disrupts wildlife habitats and reduces agricultural land critical for food security. What will be the cost of cleaning up poisoned land and water courses in the event of damage?”
Jaden Lister; ” The High Grove Opposition Action Group is fighting to stop this solar farm, so join us to voice your concerns about the costs, scale, its impact on the country, size, beauty and the loss of productive land.
Beverly Racher; “If this is what you want to see, green spaces, beautiful land and farmland, please sign the petition on the gov.uk site. It is called Ban Large Solar Schemes on Agricultural Land and Open Countryside.”
Local residents and businesses are fiercely opposing plans to cover 2,000 acres of Cotswold farmland with 4.5 metre (double decker bus) high black solar panels.
Read ‘Nobody has any quandary with green power, it’s just where you put it’ Racing Post, 22 May 2025
‘This month’s Badminton Horse Trials, seeing they were hosted by the Duke of Beaufort, seemed an opportune time to catch up with the stud owners facing an uncertain future due to a plan to build a 2,200-acre solar farm. Part of the proposed Lime Down Solar Park would be on the duke’s 20,000-acre Badminton estate in Gloucestershire, as well as on land in a triangle between the market towns of Malmesbury, Tetbury and Chippenham. The duke is one of ten landowners backing the industrial-scale development which, if given the go-ahead, would dramatically impact England’s oldest borough Malmesbury and surrounding towns and villages. The Fosse Way, a Roman road and scheduled monument, would be enveloped by solar infrastructure, while the area contains historically significant footpaths and bridleways. It is also home to Ladyswood Stud in Sherston, owned by Alex Frost, and West Park Farm in Corston, run by Dermot Farrington. The pair spoke for themselves but also thousands of like-minded local people last summer when they shared fears the solar park would wreck the area for businesses, homeowners, walkers, riders, tourists and biodiversity.
The Stop Lime Down campaign is certainly doing all it can to generate interest and support, while its website has a simple opening message: ‘Yes to solar, no to these irresponsible proposals, protect our countryside’. Farrington says: “The local community has worked very hard, with lobbying and raising awareness of why this isn’t a good idea for anybody. “The protest group, Stop Lime Down, have had information evenings, and the halls have been jam-packed with concerned people. “Thanks to a lot of people who have worked really hard to point out what’s going on, the penny is starting to drop that this government is hellbent on pushing this through without a real mandate from the people to do it. “In this locality, and generally, people are starting to realise what’s being forced on them. People are starting to realise that there’s going to be an adverse effect on their property values, whether you’re right next to it or not. If they do get planning permission, this will change the face of the countryside. “You might not open the curtains and see the solar panels, but all of a sudden you might have to drive through a solar park to get to your house.” He adds: “A neighbour of mine had a house for sale, it’s fallen through and is directly linked to all of this, the prospect of the unknown. They’re now looking at a 30 per cent hit on the price. “These guys’ attitude to people who’ve got a mortgage on a house and then the next thing you know, your value’s gone down ‘Oh, too bad’. It is disgusting really. I feel strongly about how such a small number of people can have such a huge effect on so many.’
As part of a series of coordinated walks across the UK, you can join our National Community Walk on 8 June to fight against the Lime Down solar farm and protect 2000 acres of our food growing land from being covered with solar panels.
Massive paywall but still sounds interesting for those who have a subscription to the Daily Mail
Watch; Parliament EV Chargers Ban; GB News, 7 May 2025
Mike Wood MP blasts the hypocrisy of banning EV chargers in Parliament over fire risks, while forcing battery systems onto rural communities and new-build British homes.
Presenter; “Parliament has banned the use of electric vehicle chargers on the parliamentary estate, guess why? That’s because of health and safety fears, because the lithium ion batteries and electric vehicles can pose a fire risk if they overheat, malfunction or are damaged during charging. And despite this parliamentary ban, the government of course is still forcing local communities to install them in their neighbourhoods.
This raises a very obvious question. If these charging points are unsafe for the car parks in Parliament, why are they safe for British homes where the Labour Party seemingly is making it part of its housing policy to put one on every new build?”
Mike Wood MP; “Absolutely right. And this was obviously the point I challenged the Prime Minister about. Now, clearly the risk of a fire on a car battery is very low, but they’ve been banned from parliament because the authorities have worked out that if the worst was to happen, there was to be that malfunction, the fire while charging, the consequences could be devastating. If you scale that up to one of these huge battery energy storage systems that they’re putting very close to residential houses, close to businesses, for that matter, close to our rivers and canals that are 1,000 times bigger more than a car battery, and if one catches fire then it can take a day or more to bring that fire under control.”

Some extracts from four old newsreels;
First Newsreel; “I would like to take you into the laboratory and show you a few of the experiments that led us to our outdoor experiments and converting clouds into snow. Using our home freezing units such as this, we can form super cooled clouds just like those in the natural atmosphere. By taking a tiny piece of dry ice such as this and scratching it so a few tiny fragments fall into the supercloud, long streaks develop. The particles grow very fast, they grow about a billion fold in volume in a few seconds, many millions of snow crystals form and we get the same effect as is produced by dry ice. Dry ice is not particularly important as far as the fact that the CO2 is primarily important because it’s colder than -35°C. This is the picture of the first cloud that we see. It is back last November, flying in a small Fairchild plane and putting dry ice from a dispenser in the bottom of the plane and within minutes saw long streamers of snow falling from the base of the cloud and evaporating into the drier air below. Under many conditions of course, full-fledged snowstorms will be produced in this way. Nature at last has permitted us to do a little something about the weather.”
Second Newsreel; “The Army Signal Corps and Office of Naval Research began conducting many of these. experiments. In 1947, project Cirrus expanded to test cloud seeding on a hurricane travelling eastbound 350 miles off the coast of Jacksonville, FL. They dropped 80 lbs of dry ice into the raging storm. They need to realise that the hurricane suddenly changed direction and began travelling back towards the United States. Savannah, GA was hit by record-breaking winds of up to 85 mph. More than 1,500 people were left homeless and at least two people died. The total damage was reported in the millions of dollars, and the project and its participants were blamed for what happened.”
Third newsreel; “On the night of the 15th of August 1952, the worst flood in British history swept through the tiny seaside village of Lynmouth. 90 million tonnes of water devastated the area, killing 35 people and leaving over 400 homeless. 40,000 tonnes of boulders were dragged off the moors, destroying houses and cars. Porter spoke to Squadron Leader Len Otley. He confirmed that he worked on projector Operation Cumulus, which was also referred to as Operation Witch Doctor. What’s more, in mid August 1952, Alan Yates, a lecturer at Cranfield School of Aeronautics at the time, was asked to take part in cloud seeding experiments. According to Yates, the artificial rain fell over Lynmouth and washed the village into the sea. Newly declassified documents prove that Project Cumulus was indeed going on the day of the flood that year.”
Fourth newsreel; “Project Skyfire is aimed at lightning fires in Western forest in detail, we’re conducting experiments in cloud seeding aimed at determining whether or not weather modification techniques might possibly prevent lightning fires. We carry this on work on by seeding clouds with silver iodide nuclei. We disperse silver iodide from specially developed generators located either on the ground or on aircraft. Our experience has been that we can do the best job through aircraft seeding.”
Censorship / Surveillance / Coercion/ Corruption / Blackmail
At heart a dictator but disguised as a liberal, Starmer is in lock-step with Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum’s plans for the ‘great re-set’; that means global control and manipulation through central bank currencies, property theft from citizens, bogus pandemic autocracy and corporate takeover of global governance.
Read; Davos WEF: Artificial Intelligence (AI), DNA Manipulation, Control of the Human Mind, Transhumans by Michel Chossudovsky; 9 May 2025
‘Keir Starmer, who attends annual Davos WEF gatherings and is at the forefront of world leaders trained to introduce The Great Reset/Fourth Industrial Revolution AI agenda into his country, has recently taken a major step into the abyss by announcing (January 13th 2025) that his government is going to ‘push AI into the veins of Britain’.
That’s straight out of the World Economic Forum’s manual for enforcing a digital DNA manipulation program for control of the human mind – and it looks like Sir Keir has been chosen to lead the way.
“Our plan will make Britain the world leader. It will give industry the foundation it needs and will turbocharge the “Plan for Change”, says Starmer. Claiming that the plan for change is about “more jobs, more investment, more money in peoples’ pockets and the transformation of public services.”
But we all know what ‘The Plan for Change’ really is: the Great Reset’s grand theft of people’s privacy, property and positive mental health.
“In a world of fierce competition, we cannot stand by. We must move fast and take action to win the global race,” said Starmer.
How many times have we heard this sort of economic claptrap spewing forth from the clones of the WEF’s school of servile technocrats?
Starmer wants to take action to win the global race to get transhumans to replace sentient members of the human race.
Klaus Schwab convinced him – as well as his compatriot the King of England – that this is the future. “If you want to keep your job for the next four years you had better set about it right away” warn his minders.
An upright turbocharged goose-step march into state-controlled surveillance; big data; central control and a subservient brain damaged social constituency – is what is actually being announced by the British prime minister.’
The WHO has taken on the Orwellian trope that people will accept anything if they are frightened. The WHO is working towards global dominance, to control nations and citizens by instilling fear through false narratives and blackmail, threatening punishments for people who stand up against lockdowns and mandatory vaccines in future plannedemics.
Read; BOMBSHELL for the Elite and the WHO; (World Health Organisation) Amy Lynn, 1 May 2025
‘Dr. David Martin does not mince words. He’s done being POLITE! The old Eugenics program never died, it’s just been relabeled. His speech is 15 minutes long, so I had to separate it into 3 clips, 1, 2 & 3‘
‘Dr. David Martin, 1st clip; “We, the people of the world, have been lied to, where a group of very small number of criminal industrial conspirators decided to subordinate the entirety of the human population for the purpose of their sinister plans to enrich themselves while impoverishing and killing the rest of humanity. And I’m done being polite. We’ve long passed polite. When the words acceptable death rate become part of an industrial norm, we have lost the plot of humanity. And that’s not my words.
Those were the words of the World Health Organisation and of Pfizer and of Moderna when they were given the authorisation to begin the process of killing human beings in the interest of advancing their goals.
I’m also not going to sugarcoat this. This is a criminal cartel. We are acting as though there’s some sort of redeemable quality somewhere in some esoteric layer that somehow or another the World Health Organisation must have some salutatory benefit. Since its formation in the 1940s, the World Health Organisation has been nothing more than a criminal cartel that has a soul and singular intent. I will show you the document that proves what I’m saying. This is not an allegation. This is actually provable by their own words in their own hand. And they use a four step process to execute every one of their nefarious plans.
They begin by planning an exercise, then they go to the business of funding that exercise, then they create the rationale for the thing that they’re going to do, and then they deploy and profit from it. In violation of 15 US code section 19, which coincidentally started with the Clayton Act in the same year that the World Health Organisation in The United States 1913. The same year, the World Health Organisation’s progenitors also started. So I find it fascinating that we passed the Clayton Act in 1913, and we set in motion a hundred and ten years ago the criminal conspiracy, which we now call the World Health Organisation, a hundred and ten years later. And in violation of the TFEU, the treaty allegedly for the functioning of the European Union, which I think needs to now be called the treaty for the dysfunctional European cabal. Article 101 unambiguously lays out the conditions that this was never a public health, it was racketeering for the purpose of instilling terror to adapt the behavior of a population. Period.
That’s what it was. That’s what it always was. And we can come up with every theoretical argument we want to make about things, but the problem even with the theory that we had an outbreak of something is falsifiable for the data from Zurich that shows us that in the year of the death pandemic of the globe, life insurance companies paid $30 billion less in claims. Now if there’s a medical professional or a social professional or anybody else who wants to debate, then we could develop a virus cunningly that could find out your bank account, your insurance policy statements, and whether you’re paid up on your premiums, that’s a big ask. It turns out that the data is unambiguous.
Watch; RFK Jr. address World Health Assembly in fiery video explaining US’ withdrawal from WHO; Fox News, 20 May 2025
‘Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sent a prerecorded video to the World Health Assembly May 20, 2025, explaining the motivation behind the US withdrawal from the WHO.’
R F Kennedy Jr; “As you know, President Trump has made the decision to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organisation. I’d like to take this opportunity to offer some background to that decision and more importantly, to chart a future path toward global cooperation on health and health security. Like many legacy institutions, The WHO has become mired in bureaucratic bloat, entrenched paradigms, conflicts of interest, and international power politics. While the United States has provided the lion’s share of the organisation funding, historically, other countries such as China have exerted undue influence over its operations in ways that serve their own interests and not particularly the interests of the global public. This all became obvious during the COVID pandemic when the WHO, under pressure from China, suppressed reports at critical junctures of human to human transmission and then worked with China to promote the fiction that COVID originated from bats or pangolins rather than from a Chinese government sponsored research at a bio-lab in Wuhan. Not only has WHO capitulated to political pressure from China, it’s also failed to maintain an organisation characterised by transparency and fair governance for its member states. The WHO often acts like it has forgotten that its members must remain accountable to their own citizens and not to transnational or corporate interests. I believe that, for the most part, the staff of the WHO are conscientious people who sincerely believe in what they’re doing. Indeed, the WHO has, since its inception, accomplished important work, including the eradication of smallpox. Too often, though, WHO’s priorities have increasingly reflected the biases and interests of corporate medicine. Too often it has allowed political agendas, like pushing harmful gender ideology to hijack its core mission, and too often it has become the tool of politics and turned its back on promoting health and health security. Global cooperation on health is still critically important to President Trump and myself, but it isn’t working very well under the WHO. As the failures of the COVID era demonstrate, the WHO has not even come to terms with its failures during COVID, let alone made significant reforms. Instead, it has doubled down with the pandemic agreement, which will lock in all of the dysfunctions of the WHO pandemic response. We’re not going to participate in that. We need to reboot the whole system as we are doing in the United States. Here in the United States, we’re going to continue to focus on infectious disease and pandemic preparedness. We’re also fundamentally shifting the priorities of our health agencies to focus on chronic diseases, which are prevalent in the United States. It’s the chronic disease epidemic that is sickening our people and bankrupting our healthcare system.”
One by one, a group of countries followed Slovakia in objecting to the sweeping powers that the WHO wrote for itself in the treaty, including the right to collect pathogen samples from any country and for mandatory digital health certificates. Poland, Russia, Italy and Iran objected to loss of sovereignty, vague legal language and the growing power of unelected global institutions. From the UK, only a deafening silence.
Listen; Pandemics on Demand: WHO Holds the Trigger; UK Column News, 21 May 2025
Sandi Adams; “Yesterday, 20th of May, in Geneva, the World Health Organisation Member States quietly adopted the first ever international pandemic agreement, a global treaty that would reshape how public health, national law and everyday freedoms operate in the future. And Slovakia’s abstention followed a challenge initiated by Prime Minister Robert Fico, who called for a formal vote rather than allowing the treaty to pass by consensus. Fico was known for his vaccine scepticism and concerns over national sovereignty. He instructed Slovakia’s delegation to oppose the agreement. The WHO is not led by elected officials, the director general, Doctor Tedros Ghebreyesus, holds office through diplomatic negotiation, not public vote. His record simply during the early COVID response sparked curious concerns about neutrality and transparency. We have to remember that there was no vote from the people on this, no heated debates, no parliamentary oversight, no public referendum. Instead adopted by consensus, literally the backdoor method of agreement that allows governments, including the UK, to silently nod their approval without needing to explain themselves to the people they serve. This is what we’re finding across the board. The foundation of this treaty is the WHO’s One Health Framework, an ideology that links human health to animals, the environment, even agriculture and land use. Under a broad lens, almost anything can be rebranded as a health threat. Climate change, farming practices, land ownership, all potentially within the scope. This fits in obviously with the broader UN 2030 17 Goals Agenda, and while the WHO cannot directly overrule national laws, the treaty even creates binding international obligations. Governments can now use it to justify emergency laws, sweeping powers, social restrictions, all under the shield of ‘international compliance’ or ‘global coordination’, as they call it. Even more troubling is who pays for the WHO’s bills? As of 2023, the largest funders weren’t democratic governments, they were private powerhouses, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, GAVI, and various UN agencies backed by corporate interests, these donors now help set global health priorities without a single vote cast by the public. Among the treaty’s more alarming features is the proposed Pathogen Access and Benefit Sharing PABS system. This would give the WHO rights to collect pathogen samples from any country and control their distribution under equity rules. What could possibly go wrong? The treaty also pushes for digital health certificates, a polite phrase for what could soon become global digital IDs linked to your vaccination status. Not every country was on board. As I mentioned earlier, obviously Slovakia, but nations like Poland, Russia, Italy, Iran also were raising the alarm during the negotiations. Their objections were loss of sovereignty, vague legal language and the growing power of unelected institutions. In the UK, meanwhile, the silence has been deafening. There’s been no real debate in Parliament, no public consultation, no clear explanation from the Prime Minister or the Health secretary. Britain simply slid into the agreement without your voice, without your vote or your knowledge. In some cases, this treaty marks more than a shift in health policy. It signals a deeper transformation, the move from national government governance to a transnational management system. Decisions that affect your life are increasingly made by technocrats, foundations and global agencies. These are people that you can’t elect and you can’t remove. So when COVID began, rapid emergency powers, top down mandates, censorship, surveillance, the WHO treaty now locks all those things into place internationally. Emergency governance is becoming the new normal. So here’s a question we all must ask. If governments can sign binding global treaties without asking their people, who’s really in charge during the next crisis?”
Alex Kramer sees Trump as a monster but better than the deep state’s stooge, Kamala Harris. Yes there have been important successes, but not mentioning Trump’s support for the zionist genocide in Gaza, theft of land in the West Bank, land grab in Syria and Lebanon, and their stated aim to expand into many countries in the Middle East, as written in their Israel Project, is a massive omission in the article below.
Read; Trump vs. the swamp: the first 126 days; Alex Krainer, 26 May 2025
‘It’s a mixed bag, it includes some very encouraging developments.’
‘So, Trump wanted to get the US out of Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and even out of Europe. He brought Col. Macgregor to help him achieve that, but the realities in US politics derailed his initiative and things played out contrary to his intentions: he was frustrated by disloyal members of his staff and by the powerful interests of US allies, their lobbyists, and the military-industrial complex. They all had a stake in US troops remaining in Afghanistan and their interest prevailed over the nation’s democratically elected Commander in Chief.
The swamp’s deep roots
The circumstances are somewhat different today, but Trump’s agenda will still be impeded by powerful interest groups with important stakes in the outcomes of his policy decisions. As we can well appreciate, some of those groups literally want Trump dead and they haven’t been shy to let their intentions be known. His administration therefore has to tread through the swamp with great caution, which perhaps explains why it has been so difficult to read Trump’s true intentions on important issues like Russia/Ukraine, Israel, Yemen, Iran, Canada, Greenland, etc.
That may be why the executive appears clueless and chaotic. For us spectators meanwhile, it would be unfortunate to succumb to our frustrations and lambast Trump because he’s not delivering all the changes we hoped he would. To be sure, Trump should be criticised for his unforced errors and failures of judgment. He also deserves criticism for his style and demeanor which is, at times, borderline vulgar. But our criticism must be informed by realistic expectations, given the political climate in the US and the world today.
The positive policy turns
If Trump is steering the US away from the “global rules-based order” and embracing multipolar integrations (this has been explicitly articulated by members of his administration), he is breaking with many decades of policy continuity. In that, his action will provoke pushback from powerful interests that enjoyed massive privileges under the old order as well as the entrenched mindset within the US political class.
But Trump’s change of course deserves support, because the old order is unsustainable and has proven utterly pathogenic. It has reliably produced chronic, successive financial, economic and social crises at home, and forever wars abroad. Trump deserves credit for a number of radical changes he’s managed to effect during his first 125 days, including the following:
– Withdrawal of the US from Paris climate accords
– Withdrawal of the US from the World Health Organization
– Defunding, breaking up USAID
– Reestablishing constructive relations with Russia
– Renewing peace talks between Ukraine and Russia
– Brokering the ceasefire between India and Pakistan
– Announcing a new trade agreement with China
– Signing an executive order to reduce prescription drugs prices by up to 80%
– Successfully negotiating with Hamas the release of the last American Jewish hostage in Gaza
– Dramatically reducing illegal immigration into the US
– Signing of an executive order to provide housing for thousands of homeless veterans
In contrast to the decades of Clinton-Obama-Biden policies, the above changes mark an encouraging change of policy, especially compared to the record of those administrations on the Middle East, Ukraine, EU, illegal immigration, LGBT+ indoctrination, climate change, health care, energy policy, censorship, globalisation and much more. They have set the US on an unsustainable path and have sharply escalated the risk of a nuclear armageddon.
Withdrawing support from Trump and discrediting him politically would weaken his ability to effect further positive changes. Worse, it would play into the hands of his enemies who are struggling mightily for the return to the old status quo. That’s the bullet we very nearly dodged only last November with the DNC’s selected candidate Kamala Harris.
The bullet we dodged, Harris’ presidency, would have all but guaranteed the continuity of all those policies that the American people firmly rejected. She was a strong supporter of the government crackdown on freedom of expression. In a campaign speech last September, Kamala promised that,
“We will… direct law enforcement to counter this extremism, we will hold social media platforms accountable for the hate infiltrating their platforms, because they have a responsibility to help fight against this threat to our democracy. And if you profit off of hate, if you act as a megaphone for misinformation or cyberwarfare, if you don’t police your platforms, we are going to hold you accountable as a community.”
Perhaps the most chilling aspect of those words is that they stem from the same approach to censorship that has taken hold in Great Britain. As we’ve learned since, her administration was deliberately adopted that same approach and sought Britain’s assistance in implementing it in the United States.
Turn-key censorship, made in Britain
Two months ago, America First Legal (AFL) revealed the astonishing scale of efforts by the Biden-Harris administration to permanently crush free speech in the US. Determined to learn from the free world’s very best, Biden’s National Security Council (NSC) invited the British government to share their know-how and experience in running censorship operations.
The British did come, and on 10 August 2021 UK’s Counter Disinformation Unit (CDU) brought a presentation to a meeting organised by the NSC’s Interagency Policy Committee (IPC). CDU is the British “cross-departmental” entity that coordinates state censorship programs across the whole of the British government and helps formulate “coordinated government response” to disinformation and misinformation.
Everybody was onboard!
The meeting was attended by the who’s who of the US security state apparatus, including the White House, NSC, Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Departments of State, Treasury, Defense (DOD), Homeland Security (DHS), and Health and Human Services (HHS), U.S. Agencies for International Development (USAID) and Global Media (USAGM), as well as high-ranking officers in the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
On the occasion, the CDU made specific recommendations to their American disciples, including establishing a dedicated unit to lead government-wide censorship programs; enacting coercive legislation to regulate tech companies’ policies on disinformation and sanction noncompliance; forging partnerships with big tech to “flag” proscribed content, and leveraging the government’s foreign policy structures to coordinate with other governments and supranational institutions.
The documents obtained by the AFL reveal an Orwellian alliance between the US Global Engagement Center (GEC), US Agency for International Development (USAID), the British Foreign Office and media organisations, all working in concert to manipulate public discourse, control media narratives, and suppress free speech. These efforts were not limited to the UK and the US: the GEC’s objective was to “combat foreign disinformation abroad.” The GEC only shut down last December after the election of Donald Trump.’

Zio-fascism is on the rise, with Trump leading the charge by criminalising support for Gaza.
Read; Zio-totalitarianism on the march Paul Cudenec, 29 May 2025
‘The quick succession of the Covid abomination and the genocide in Gaza has opened the eyes of millions to the existence of the zio-imperialist mafia, ZIM. The criminocrats are therefore rushing to pass new laws to enable them to silence, fine or imprison anyone who dares to expose their corrupt domination of our society. The first step in this process was the manufacture in 2016 by a zionist organisation, the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), of its absurd new definition of anti-semitism, which seeks to conflate this with criticism of Israel and zionism. Professor David Feldman warned at the time that the document carried dangers: “It trails a list of 11 examples. Seven deal with criticism of Israel… Crucially, there is a danger that the overall effect will place the onus on Israel’s critics to demonstrate they are not antisemitic”. Now, in the face of worldwide disgust at Israel’s war crimes and the collaboration of political “leaders” everywhere, ZIM has decided to push its assault on free speech a step further. The European Jewish Association (EJA) reports that at its annual conference in Madrid on May 14, 2025, “over 150 Jewish leaders from across the continent set together to adopt a forceful six-point action plan – to fight the continent-wide explosion of antisemitism”.
Top of the agenda was to push the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights to “adopt and enforce a universal legal definition of antisemitism — with criminal penalties applied across all member states”. The EJA also wants academia to be forced to toe its line and wants to “tie public funding to university compliance with anti-discrimination standards”. It adds: “Institutions must answer for silencing Jewish voices or enabling hate”. In parallel, it seeks to silence pro-Palestinian voices on campuses by criminalising points of view it doesn’t approve of. Referring to the “threat” of “campus radicalisation”, it urges: “Treat extremist activity in universities as a security risk — not a student issue”. The EJA also wants zionist Jews to have some special new legal status as part of what it terms a “police and prosecutor partnership”. It seeks to “formalise cooperation between Jewish communities and law enforcement to pursue and prosecute antisemitic hate crimes”. And it even wants to establish a “Pan-European Jewish Task Force”, a “centralised coordination body to drive legal, political, and security action across countries”.
A few days later another big event in Europe was pushing the same zio-totalitarianism.
In Paris, on May 18 and 19, the European Leadership Network (Elnet) held what it proudly describes as “Europe’s premier biennial pro-Israel conference”. It declares: “Rampant antisemitism and anti-Israel hate are spreading like never before, and European countries along with the U.S. are at the forefront of these insidious attacks”. As journalist David Cronin points out, Elnet’s use of the term “global intifada” to describe the numerous public expressions of outrage at Israeli brutality, cynically “smears all the ordinary folk who have joined such protests by insinuating that they are anti-Semites”. Zionism lies at the rotten core of the EU and Magnus Brunner, EU Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration, gave a fawning message to what he described as the “very important conference” in Paris.’

Read; Files reviewed by The Grayzone reveal a shocking foreign meddling scandal, as British state prosecutors are seen colluding with Israeli authorities to classify anti-genocide protesters as terrorists and imprison them on heavily politicised grounds Kit Klarenberg, The Greyzone, 27 May 2025
‘Documents released by the British government reveal that London has been coordinating with Israeli officials to prosecute protestors associated with activist group Palestine Action for disrupting the operations of Elbit Systems, which manufactures deadly weapons being used in the genocide in Gaza.
The documents highlight a years-long Israeli influence campaign, and suggest that Tel Aviv’s meddling has prompted London to abandon well-established legal standards in order to charge anti-genocide activists under highly politicised counter-terror provisions. One especially revealing document shows the British Attorney General’s Office (AGO) furnishing their Israeli counterparts with guidance on how to avoid an arrest warrant for war crimes, reassuring them that the Crown Prosecutorial Service (CPS) “has strengthened the procedural safeguards around the issuing of private arrest warrants in recent years.”
The Israelis have been on edge since former Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni was forced to cancel a trip to London in 2009 after a UK court issued an arrest warrant for her involvement in the blood-stained assault on Gaza that year. Leaked Israeli Ministry of Justice files revealed how Tel Aviv subsequently initiated an intensive – and ultimately successful – lobbying campaign to guarantee its officials “special mission” certificates which allowed them to visit London without the fear of arrest. As Declassified UK reported, the British government has granted Israel three special mission certificates through the Gaza genocide.’
Read; The UK Rebukes the UN and Bows to the Israeli Embassy over “Terrorism” Arrests of Journalists; Craig Murray, 28 May 2025
‘There is a stunning contrast between the access given by the UK to the Israeli Embassy to influence prosecutions of anti-Genocide journalists and protestors, and the repudiation by the UK of United Nations querying such prosecutions. The UK has rebuked the UN for “outside interference”.
I cannot state enough how unusual it is for the UK to give direct access to the Israeli Embassy to the Police and the Crown Prosecution Service, in order for the Israeli government to influence the prosecution of UK citizens. This is not about extradition, in which case there may be treaty arrangements for direct contact between prosecutors. It is just not normal nor right for an Embassy to be involved with domestic prosecutions in this way.’
According to the Metropolitan Police it’s ok to starve and murder thousands of children but wave the wrong flag and you’re charged with terrorism.
Read; Kneecap member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh charged with terrorism offence in UK; Irish Times, 21 May 2025
A member of the Belfast rap trio Kneecap has been charged with a terrorism offence. Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, has been charged by the Metropolitan Police with displaying a flag in support of Hizbullah – an illegal organisation in the UK – at a gig in London last November. In a statement on Wednesday evening, the force said the 27-year-old, from Belfast, had been charged via postal requisition following a counter-terrorism investigation. He is due appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on June 18th. The Met Police said Mr Ó hAnnaidh is accused of displaying a flag at the O2 Forum in Kentish Town, North London, on November 21st, 2024, “in such a way or in such circumstances as to arouse reasonable suspicion that he is a supporter of a proscribed organisation”.
“Officers from the Met’s counter terrorism command were made aware on Tuesday April 22nd of an online video from the event,” the force said. “An investigation was carried out, which led to the Crown Prosecution Service authorising the above charge.” A rap band from west Belfast who perform mostly in Irish, Kneecap are Mo Chara, DJ Próvai and Móglaí Bap – real names Liam Óg hAnnaidh, JJ Ó Dochartaigh and Naoise Ó Cairealláin respectively. The band are successful – they regularly perform to sell-out crowds, and an eponymous feature film won Iftas and a Bafta – but also controversial, with opponents accusing the rappers of glorifying terrorism. Earlier this month, the Met’s counter-terrorism police said it was investigating the band over two video clips from its gigs. One appeared to show a member of the group saying “The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP”, while in the other, a band member appears to shout “Up Hamas, up Hizbullah” – both banned in Britain. Kneecap apologised and said they did not support either organisation, and the footage was being “exploited and weaponised” because of the group’s opposition to the US government’s stance on Gaza.’
British-Israeli journalist Rachel Shabi accuses the media of turning its back on the genocide in Gaza.
Watch; ‘The world will let us do what we want’ middleeasteye; 25 May 2025
“So the first thing to say about this is that it’s absolutely shameful that the only story we have about Gaza on tomorrow’s front pages is about pro-Gaza protests in the UK. We have a few days ago an Israeli parliamentarian said on Israeli media, he said ‘we can do what we want’. I’m paraphrasing, nobody cares. We can kill 100 Palestinians in Gaza over one night, which has been happening with frequency, and nobody cares anymore. The world will just let us do it. And it seems that our media are determined to prove him right because for weeks now that is exactly what we’ve had. We’ve had a UK surgeon who’s working out of the hospital in Gaza. He’s been giving interviews and saying this is what it’s like. It’s 100 killed one night, 150 killed another night, 75 another night. He says this is a slaughterhouse. This is like being in a slaughterhouse. We have seen the Israeli government absolutely say out loud that what they’re doing is ethnic cleansing in Gaza and we are not covering it. It is not on the front pages of our newspapers. And that in itself is a disgrace, and that is what allows it to keep going on. Israel doesn’t care about statements. The Israeli government, which is the most extreme government that Israel has ever had and is saying out loud, we’re going to corral Palestinians in Gaza basically into a concentration camp in a little bit of the Strip and we’re going to take over the rest. And his starving and slaughtering people on a daily basis. It does not care that Canada, France and the UK says, ‘if you carry on doing this, we’re going to do something terrible’. We need to be actually taking action now, today, action that Israel will be forced, compelled, to stop. Everything else is meaningless and is allowing this to continue.”
CIA funded Iranian terrorist group is informing FOX News about Iran’s ability to produce Nuclear weapons in order to fuel reasons for the US to lead Israel’s war with Iran. The same press repeated the government lies about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction to urge us to accept war against Saddam Hussein. At the time, experts, like UN Weapons inspector, Scott Ritter, were calling out the lie about WMDs and, post our slaughter of over a million Iraqis, Blair admitted (I paraphrase) that if there were no WMDs in Iraq, they would have found another reason to get rid of Saddam Hussein.

Listen; Same Lies, New War: How Legacy Media Keeps Recycling Propaganda; UK Column News, 16 May 2025
Mike Robinson; “What’s quite incredible has been the level of propaganda coming out of the mainstream press for war, and here’s just one example of it from the BBC. The mainstream press is going all out to promote a war narrative, particularly against Iran. And so the BBC here claims to have seen court documents from Turkey and the United States which they say contain evidence that Iran has been hiring criminal gangs to carry out killings on foreign soil. So I’d like to get a definition for what ‘evidence’ means in this case. There’s no suggestion of criminal conviction. There is no report of a prison sentence for anyone alleged to have murdered anyone. And we’ve got to remember this is the same BBC that regurgitated ‘evidence’ of yellow cake, the same BBC that regurgitated ‘evidence’ for chemical weapons in Syria and so on. Meanwhile, in the United States, Fox claims to have evidence of secret nuclear weapons facilities in Iran, and this evidence they say comes in the form of satellite images. Their sources? The Iranian opposition group, the National Council of Resistance of Iran, which claimed a previously undisclosed facility, which they dubbed the Rainbow Site, that has been operating for over a decade to extract tritium and material used in advanced nuclear weapons.
Patrick Henningsen; ” The National Resistance Council of Iran, they had those satellite images that you just showed. What they actually mean Is the MEK, Mojahedin-e Khalq, a designated terrorist organisation basically holed up in Albania, backed by the CIA and Israeli intelligence. That’s the source for the Fox secret nuclear sites, believe it or not. So great source, well done, Fox.”

This is a leader we can admire. Ibrahim Traoré́ has been President of Burkina Faso since 2022, and has de-colonised the country, ordered French troops and businesses to leave, rejected and reversed the privatisation demands of the IMF, and gained the trust of his people. As a result there have been several attempts on his life.
Watch; Ibrahim Traoré and his people; Middle Nation, 16 May 2025
Shahid Bolsen; “I’ve said it more than once, I think Ibrahim Traoré is the most important Muslim leader in the world. He’s not just the most important African leader in the world, he’s the most important Muslim leader in the world. And I would say he’s the most important leader in the world in terms of what he represents and the change that he represents and the paradigm shift that he represents. There are many, in my opinion, important leaders, I can’t think of any that are in the West actually, but important leaders that are important to the world. I’m not really being sarcastic or trying to be funny, but because the people who are identified as leaders in the West aren’t leaders. The people who are identified as your leaders are effigies, are just poster board cutouts to put up in front of you to make you believe that those are the ones who are making decisions. So it’s hard to identify who is the leader in the West, but in the global South and in the Muslim world we can identify leaders and among all of the people who we can identify who are actual leaders, who have real power and influence. Officially, formally, I don’t think there’s anyone who is more important than President Ibrahim Traoré, the standard bearer of anti-colonialism, anti- imperialism, who is carrying the flag of Thomas Sankara, Kwame Nkrumah, Patrice Lumumba. The one who’s really carrying that banner right now openly with his chest out is Ibrahim Traoré, and he’s making very practical, astonishing decisions in his country to great effect on the ground and quickly, the opening of factories, the opening of schools, the opening of hospitals, getting laboratories for universities, very practical measures that are changing not just Burkinabé of Burkina Faso, but the future generations, as well as obviously the incredibly important step that everyone thought was impossible, kicking the French out and kicking foreign troops out, this was unthinkable just three years ago, four years ago, no one could have thought that that could happen. And he just did it. You can’t take him in a vacuum, you have to look at him within the context of the Burkinabé people, which is where he draws his power really, because when he says a thing, they do it. There is complete loyalty and commitment between the leader and the people and the people and the leader. And this is what is really empowering him and it’s really what is protecting him. Because there have been multiple attempts on his life. There have been multiple attempts to organise coups against him, all of which have been foiled, all of which have been found out. And you literally have Burkinabé people sleeping in the streets outside the presidential palace just in case anybody tries anything in the middle of the night. This is how much that man is loved. And he’s loved because of what he’s doing for his people and because they believe him and because they love him, he’s able to do what he’s doing.”
Parliamentary ‘democracy’ is a Punch and Judy puppet show to give the media something to write about, a charade to dupe us into thinking the government cares a hoot about what people want or need.
Read; The Rotten Ritual of Parliament by George Christensen, Nation First, 18 May 2025
‘Let me lay it out plain for you. Parliament House in Canberra isn’t the engine room of our democracy. It’s a stage, a show, a carefully choreographed farce where the plot never changes, the actors never improvise, and the audience, you are expected to sit quietly and pretend it’s all very serious and respectable. But it’s not. It’s theatre. And bad theatre at that.
The same is likely true of parliaments in Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom and also the Congress in the USA, albeit in Britain and America there seems to be a bit less choreography and a tad more independent thinking.
But the cracks are showing. The primary vote share of the major parties is dropping like a stone. Australians don’t vote for vision anymore—they vote against the alternative. That’s not democracy. That’s decay.
Change won’t come from within this broken system while the same old parties still hold the reins. But as their grip weakens—as it inevitably will—we’ll have the chance to build something better. A system where representation means something again. Where conscience matters. Where politicians are free to think, speak, and act—not just toe the party line.
Until then, with but a few notable exceptions, parliament will largely remain a sheltered workshop for people who can’t think for themselves’
If America hates you it’s because you’re doing something right, and there’s a long list of good, just people they’ve killed because they challenged the crimes of the corrupt, lawless, violent US state. Julian Assange suffered from their vindictive rage by being arbitrarily detained for fourteen years, first at the Ecuador embassy, then in Belmarsh Prison. Although it was proved that US agents illegally recorded his meetings with his lawyers at the Ecuador embassy, and that they had planned to assassinate him, these crimes were not admissible at his trial and he was convicted of espionage, which still sends a chill over the media and any journalist thinking of revealing war crimes, illegal surveillance, extra-judicial murder or any of the multitude of crimes carried out by the US state every day.
Read; Cannes: Eugene Jarecki on Why ‘Six Billion Dollar Man’ Subject Julian Assange is “Probably Not Dr. Evil”; The Hollywood Reporter 23 May 2025
‘In his new documentary, Jarecki confronts the US-led smear campaign against Assange with new evidence that challenges the mainstream narrative around the WikiLeaks founder.
For over a decade, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been a lightning rod in the global debate over press freedom, transparency and the reach of U.S. power. From the release of the notorious “Collateral Murder” video to his years-long exile inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London, Assange has been hailed as a journalistic freedom fighter and vilified as a national security threat. Now, with The Six Billion Dollar Man, director Eugene Jarecki (Why We Fight, The House I Live In) turns his lens on what he calls “the most consequential political prisoner of our time,” delivering a searing exposé that uncovers the staggering cost the U.S. was willing to pay to silence him.
Jarecki’s latest documentary is a cinematic pressure cooker — part investigative thriller, part legal procedural and part character study — that digs deep into the forces aligned against Assange. Featuring interviews with human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson, former Ecuadorian president Rafael Correa and never-before-seen footage from Assange’s time inside the embassy, the film traces the evolution of a man from renegade online publisher to political martyr. At the core is a revelation worthy of any geopolitical thriller: A $6.5 billion IMF loan allegedly dangled by the Trump administration to pressure Ecuador into handing Assange over — a modern bounty to bury a dissident voice.
Eugene Jarecki (Director ‘Six Billion Dollar Man’); “It’s a delight to bring Mr. Assange to the red carpet. It’s probably the greatest achievement of my life, because it’s so important that someone like Julian Assange, who was the target of so much deeply corrupt propaganda, is finally being seen in a different light. When we started, he was in Belmarsh Prison, Britain’s Guantanamo Bay. The idea that this inmate would be here in Cannes, a free man, was unthinkable. We asked: Why is this man in jail? Recognised as a journalist by The New York Times, the Nobel prize committee, journalism outlets all over the world — and he’s in a prison full of terrorists and violent criminals? We might have found he did something really bad. Maybe the propaganda is true. It was our job to get to the heart of it. Then the case became more startling, the evidence more shattering. Especially what it tells us about those in power — that they were willing to spend $6 billion as a bounty on a man’s head. The US engaged in a vast smear operation against Assange. It involved allies like the UK and Sweden. He was given asylum by Ecuador under President Rafael Correa. Under his successor, the country was paid $6 billion to hurt Mr. Assange. Companies like PayPal and Visa stopped payments to WikiLeaks. I used to think they liked when we made transfers — don’t they profit from that? All of a sudden capitalism went out the window. Allegations were spread that he had been guilty of a sexual offense in Sweden. We looked into that. There never was a sexual case. There was an inquiry, which was dropped. But nobody ever knows that. Once you say “sexual this” or “sexual that,” it follows someone for the rest of their life.”
Watch 9/11 inside job evidence nyc_wtc9/11, 16 May 2025
“Trucks arriving at the World Trade Centre from about August 23rd until every night until about September 2nd, September 3rd and the trucks were arriving at about 3:00 in the morning when everybody else had left the building, including the janitorial truck. Something was brought into that building that would help with the detonation. There may have been work done on the detonation before, it may have been going on for months, but whatever they needed, at the very end, they came and brought in those 10 days. The 9/11 Commission also does not tell you that Marvin Bush, the president’s brother, and their cousin, Wert Walker were the principles of the company that was in charge of security for the World Trade Centre. They don’t, man. The jaw-dropping coincidences kept piling up. I learned that Stratasek was a security company which used to be called Securecom and they didn’t just handle security for the World Trade Centre complex, they had contracts with Dulles International Airport, from where Flight 93 departed, and United Airlines accounting for most of the security breakdowns on 9/11. And another thing, Stratasek also handles security for Los Alamos National Labs, one of the only places on the planet that can produce the nano thermite found in the Ground Zero dust. The odds are pretty astonishing that one company can link so many vital elements of 9/11, but more astonishing is there’s no mention of Stratasek or Securecom in the entire 567 page 9/11 Commission report. Of course, that was no surprise by now, did I forget to mention that that same 9/11 Commission did not mention the collapse of Building 7 in the entire report either? Why is there not a word about the collapse of that building? In the 9/11 Commission report, we didn’t see any evidence of the kind of thing you’re talking about. I didn’t think this was something done by terrorists anymore, nor did I think this was done by any one man, even a president, how does he get nano thermite? How does he get NORAD, the FAA, and our air defences to look the other way? Or get access to the interior of all three towers? Or get 19 guys to kill themselves? Or get NIST and the 9/11 Commission to tank their investigations? Or keep the media quiet? Or keep a rival administration from exposing it? Now this seemed much bigger than even a president and impossible for a man on the run. If someone like me with no budget or staff can find something clearly wrong with Building 7’s collapse, how could an entire government Commission fail to mention it in their report? Something big and strange was coming into view, seemingly coordinated and almost invisible, like 1,000 more puzzle pieces dumped out before me. I couldn’t see the bigger picture yet, but I knew there was one and it involved powerful elements of our world.”
Chris Hedges and George Monbiot discuss how neo-liberalism destroys freedoms, attacks workers’ rights, promotes inequality and how think tanks worm its ideas into politics and the media. Interesting how George talks so eloquently about freedom and yet he didn’t write a single word about the need to free Julian Assange, who gave up his freedom to force the mainstream media to report on US war crimes, human rights violations, mass illegal surveillance, and torture in Guantanamo.
Watch; The Secret History of Neoliberalism (w/ George Monbiot); Chris Hedges, 9 October 2024
Chris Hedges; “So, the global elites, the wealthy coalesce around this ideology and which you’re right, essentially very swiftly becomes unnamed. And you write about how the rich backers hired policy analysts, economists, academics, legal experts and public relations specialists to create a series of think tanks that would refine and promote the doctrine. These institutions, many of which still operate today, tended to disguise their purposes with grand and respectable names such as the Cato Institute, the Heritage Foundation, the American Enterprise Institute, the Institute of Economic Affairs, the Centre for Policy Studies, and the Adam Smith Institute. I think these think tanks were important, as you point out, but also they very swiftly took over, at least in the United States, economic departments as well.”
George Monbiot; “Yes, and indeed in the UK as well, not just economic departments but also the media. You cannot have a discussion about anything which touches on economic life on either side of the Atlantic without one of these rather sinister people being brought on to talk about it. In the UK at any rate, they’re never asked who funds you and on whose behalf you are lobbying because they are effectively lobby groups. The term think tank is designed not to enlighten, but to disguise and it gives the impression that these are independent people who sit around and think about things. They really don’t. Hayek himself said that they should be dealers in second hand ideas. So basically people like Hayek and and von Mises and Friedman and others would develop the fundamental ideas, and then what the so-called think tanks or junk tanks as I prefer to call them, did was to turn these often outrageous proposals into what sounded like common sense, to make them sounded like things which were good for everyone, that they would be for our benefit, rather than being, as they are, so devastating to society, to workers, to citizens in general, and to sell them to the public. That’s what these junk tanks exist to do. But also, of course, they’re whispering into the ears of politicians. Sometimes they’re shouting, like Project 2025 of the Heritage Foundation, often they’re doing so quietly and subtly.”
Chris Hedges; “Although of course neoliberalism runs like an electric current at this point in the United States, and now you’ve got Starmer as well in the UK. Obama, Biden, none of these people are challenging neoliberal policy, Hillary Clinton. I want to go back to the point you made about language because it’s important in Chapter 6, and of course, what they peddle is this idea of freedom, and the free market, they equate the free market with freedom itself. They’ve been very effective at doing this. And you write, ‘freedom from trade unions and collective bargaining means freedom for bosses to suppress wages. Freedom from regulation means the freedom to exploit and endanger workers, to poison rivers, to adulterate food, to design exotic financial instruments, to charge exorbitant rates of interest. It leads to train wrecks, both literally and figuratively, from the recent string of toxic spill derailments in the American Midwest to the financial meltdowns and bank bailouts we now seem to have expected as an inevitable fact of economic life. Freedom from taxation, which by definition involves the redistribution of wealth, throttles a crucial mechanism to help lift the poor out of poverty. The freedom that neoliberals celebrate, which sounds so beguiling when expressed in general terms, turns out to be freedom for the pike, not for the minnows.’ Now that’s a very important point which speaks as we both come out of it, in sound bites and cliches and doesn’t get to the point that you just made in the book. So let’s talk about their co-opting of language, which they have been frighteningly successful at, to mask the reality of what they’re carrying out. And then let’s talk about the role of the media as an amplifier of this.”
George Monbiot; “Yes, thank you very much for raising this. So, it’s very striking how they have taken values which we all support, we support the idea of freedom, and so we should, the freedoms we possess are freedoms which were very hard fought by our ancestors. Much blood was spilt in order to ensure our freedom to speak, our freedom to vote, our freedom to organise, our freedom from highly oppressive institutions and government practice, and every freedom we have is something that people have died for and we tend to forget, even the weekend, is a freedom that was very hard won and the neoliberals come in being very careful not to specify exactly what they mean by freedom, and co-opt this word to make it sound as if the things that our ancestors secured and that we all benefit from is what they’re offering, whereas actually they are intending the exact opposite. They are taking those freedoms from us. In fact, it’s very clear from a lot of neoliberal writing that they are deeply opposed to the concept of democracy itself. This is what happened when Friedrich Hayek visited Pinochet’s Chile and he said, I would rather have a political system which has this economic freedom, which meant basically the freedom of the capitalist class to do whatever the hell they wanted to people, and anyone who got in the way was dropped out of a helicopter or tortured to death in a basement. I’d rather have this economic freedom than what we call democracy, which doesn’t have that element of liberalism. And again, liberalism, neoliberalism, these are terms they’ve also stolen, there is nothing liberal in the social sense about neoliberalism, it has taken away so many of our social liberties, and it’s this endless illusion and misappropriation of language that, alongside everything else, we have to fight on a daily basis.”
Our World Economic Forum Stooge, Starmer has sold the UK to Blackrock
Watch; One Nation under BlackRock; Middle Nation, 21 May 2025
Shahid Bolsen; “BlackRock is not elected. It doesn’t answer to voters, but it has more functional power over the United States of America than Congress does. That’s not conspiracy theory, that’s not ideological rhetoric, that’s a structural reality, and it exposes a much deeper truth, that Western democracy, so-called, has been hollowed out from the inside. What you see is not what governs, and what actually governs cannot be voted out and mostly can’t even be seen. So the question is, who governs your country? And are you sure that it’s your government, Americans? Because in America, the answer is no, your government doesn’t govern you. BlackRock governs the United States, not metaphorically, not rhetorically, but functionally. BlackRock has more influence over the American state than the American state has over BlackRock.”

Covid / Vaccines Scam
Andrew Bridgen
@ABridgen. May 23 2025
When I asked the Labour (then) opposition in 2022 for help and support to prevent the experimental jabs being authorised for infants and babies in the UK, a then shadow minister (now minister) told me ” We (The Labour Party) are not taking on Big Pharma”.
Thanks to a rigged ballot box, Andrew Bridgen’s voice no longer comes from the House of Commons, but it has not been silenced.
Watch; No longer an MP, what’s Andrew up to? Richard Vobes, 17 May 2025
Andrew Bridgen; “Something like 2.6 million babies have been vaccinated, triple vaccinated with COVID vaccine in the last 12 months, which is frightening, to be honest, what’s going on in America now. I think this is a fight for control of Health and Human Services. We’ve got Robert Kennedy Jr. in there. We’ve got the excellent Doctor J. Bhattacharya, original signatory to the Great Barrington Declaration, now head of the National Institute for Health, the position that the despicable Doctor Fauci held for so many years, a completely different sort of man. We’ve got Aseem Malhotra, the cardiologist, helping Del Bigtree as an advisor to Make America Healthy Again. I think he’s got a huge job because I think the whole of the health department was completely infiltrated by Big Pharma. There’s a revolving door between our regulators in the UK and America, and Big Pharma itself. there’ll be a lot of pushback. Especially what’s happened the last few weeks, I’m increasingly optimistic that they’re on the right track in America and that tsunami of truth and justice will be irresistible as it comes across the Atlantic and wipes away our self-serving politicians and bureaucrats in the UK who’ve let the public down so badly on COVID, the pandemic response and so many other issues. Trump has come out and said, ‘why is America paying 10 times as much for pharmaceuticals as Europe?’ The answer is those senators and those congressmen can’t get those millions of pounds of payments unless they’re overcharging the American customer. Once he’s cut the funding, that then stops the pharmaceutical companies having the money to bribe and corrupt elected politicians. The next thing that they’ll do is then stop big Pharma advertising, it’s not allowed in the UK, it is allowed in America and that’s how they know that 75% of the funding of the media channels has come from pharmaceuticals. As to why they never want to talk about anything negative about Big Pharma? They’ve stopped the Big Pharma pharmaceuticals advertising that cuts their control of the media as well. At the same time you release all the data on the vaccines, which they’ve got the record level data of doses, dates and deaths. Not just the COVID vaccines, but also the undoubted link to autism. I think it’s 79 jabs an American young person would have before the age of 25. Before 1995, or whenever the Americans gave the pharmaceutical industry a blanket immunity prosecution for all vaccines, I think it was 8 and now it’s 79. What we do know from the head of the HHS, Robert Kennedy Jr, is that not one of the vaccines given to children in America, and they’re the same ones that are coming over here, has ever been tested to see if they’re safe against a placebo.”
@abridgen May 25 2025
Andrew Bridgen; I wonder how many agree with me that our current system of so-called ‘democracy’ does not work for the people, it just works for a few self proclaimed ‘elites’?
The political leaders in our country and the parties they claim to represent are all bought and paid for by the same powerful vested interests , which means whoever you vote for makes no difference when all the trains are heading for the same destination, some faster some slower. Our institutions are corrupted as are those of our brothers and sisters around the world.
It’s time for a radical change. We need to move to a direct democracy system , where the real power lies with the people. Politicians have shown time and again that they can’t be trusted. Time for reform has passed, radical change is needed, perhaps a great reset but not the one the global elites had in mind.
Please repost if you agree.
Jeffrey Sachs reveals that Covid 19 originated from the University of North Carolina not Wuhan, depriving the US of another excuse to falsely accuse China of being the bogeyman.
Watch; BOMBSHELL: Prof Jeffrey Sachs “COVID came from the University of North Carolina”; Judge Napolitano, 7 May 2025
Jeffrey Sachs; “I’ll tell you a sad truth, also a little surprising, and I have to admit what I’m about to tell you is only 99% sure. But my view, based on very extensive work over the last four and a half years, is that COVID came from the University of North Carolina, which is the leading researcher on beta coronaviruses, working with the US government on a set of grant proposals that identified putting in the viral change that created SARS COV 2. It’s a grim truth. It’s ugly. It’s been hidden from view. The reason I mentioned it in this context is we don’t have any global governance that is effective right now to control the manipulation of dangerous pathogens like the manipulation that created the pandemic, and when it happened, and officially it took 7 million deaths, but probably if you count all of the deaths associated with COVID it was probably closer to 20 million deaths. Even when that happens it’s never properly investigated, it’s covered up.”
Listen; The Covid Data in New York was Faked; UK Column News; 13 May 2025
Jessica Hockett; “The human rights heist of March 2020, I call it war, was declared by numerous countries and the WHO against the populace of the world. And we were told that there was a silently spreading threat that was coming from China to a country near you and that we needed to shut down. So at least in my country (the US), the order to do that came around, itt depends when you mark it from, but the national emergency was declared on March 13th. Then on March 16th, President Trump said 15 days (lockdown) to slow the spread – like we’re running a drill. OK, everybody, 15 days to slow the spread and things shut down, schools closed, churches closed. That was crazy. I’ve never seen anything like that so far as churches and houses of worship, Obedience. Life as we knew it just completely disrupted and people said OK. A lot of people thought it was only going to be two weeks. In retrospect, I realise that it was never going to be two weeks.
Donald Trump loves a war, he’s great for a war from an entertainment stamp and now he’s back. He very proudly proclaimed Warp Speed and the beautiful vaccine. Regardless of what you think about Donald Trump (I have a lot of family who love Donald Trump), people can at least say that he had been conditioned to think that he was going to save the world, and that this was his war, this was his battle. In September 2019 there’s an executive order regarding the influenza vaccine and the need for new platforms for an influenza vaccine. So I think at the very least, he was being told that there were some things he was going to need to step up and do. How convenient that the virus came from China, it doesn’t get any better than US versus China, it’s the China virus.
What happened in March 2020, they could not have got that from a war, from a real war. I don’t think that kind of shutdown would have happened. Even if China had launched missiles, I don’t think we would have seen it. So they got better than a war in 2020 and I think people need to realise how they created the illusion of a threat. And so not just that, we need to not just be fighting against the mandated vaccines of any kind, but of testing. Testing is a huge part of the illusion. We saw it with SARS 1, we saw it with the swine flu hoax, I would call that another kind of staged event. And they can do it again. But even if they don’t run the pandemic exercise again during your lifetime or mine, the idea that they can create these appearances of a threat and just tell you that there’s a threat without having to substantiate it, I think that’s sort of the scary part. I’m not hopeless though, we can just say no, in some ways I think we should just laugh at them.”
“The moral of the story, I think on one level, is to demand proof when the government says that there’s a threat, you have to make them substantiate it, because they’re going to keep doing this and they have done it in the past. There are real threats in the world, I’m not saying that there’s not, but when they tell you that something is happening, you have to prove it, and you can’t let them declare an emergency without there actually being one, whether it’s a climate emergency, that’s the next thing, or any other kind of emergency. We have to demand proof. And we can’t let data on a screen or really anything on a screen substitute for actual evidence and what we’re seeing in our day-to-day experience. We’re culpable. We’re living in a Truman Show where we are Truman and we’re also the audience, but we’re also part of the stage management crew, we’re creating this beast. Where did Donald Trump come from? And I’m not exactly anti Donald Trump, so don’t take this the wrong way, Donald Trump is us, so we only have ourselves to blame that we have this hyper reality TV show president.”

RFK Jr makes sensational claim: ‘US Health Dept linked to child trafficking, slavery’; The Economic Times; 12 May 2025
‘Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has reiterated his claim linking the U.S. government to child sex trafficking, referencing an allegation originally promoted by Donald Trump that over 300,000 migrant children went missing during President Joe Biden’s administration. Speaking on Wednesday, Kennedy stated, “We have ended HHS’s role as the principal vector in this country for child trafficking.”
Naomi Wolf is a US journalist and author of the book “Pfizer Papers,” a comprehensive investigation into the safety and efficacy of mRNA Covid-19 vaccines. Wolf highlighted significant concerns regarding the vaccines’ impact on reproductive health and their rapid approval process.
Watch; They tried to kill us… they tried to sterilise us; Wide Awake Media, 16 May 2025
Naomi Wolf; “The centrepiece of the Pfizer Papers is an intentional attack on human sexuality and especially on women and babies. They killed the babies and they knew it. They poisoned the breast milk and they knew it. They damaged the placentas and they knew it. They lowered the sperm count and they knew it. They have a chart of the babies they’re injuring. They have a chart of the women’s menstrual cycles that they’re disrupting. They concluded that babies were dying in utero due to maternal exposure to the vaccine. This is the document that went to Doctor Wolinski. Then she gave a press conference saying ‘you’ve got to get a vaccine, COVID vaccine before, during or after your pregnancy’. So this is satanic on a massive level. You look at Bourla (Pfizer CEO) and you look at the fact that they knew they were doing this, which, if you read the Pfizer papers, you cannot conclude otherwise. And the13 to 20% drop in live births. So I guess what I’m trying to say is they tried to kill us. They tried to wipe us out. They tried to sterilise us. A lot of people died. There’s going to be horrible struggles with fertility, but we survived and the truth came out.”
The ‘conspiracy theory’ that ‘the mRNA Covid vaccines caused more harm than good appears to have sufficiently proved its legitimacy for the mainstream media.
Watch; RFK Jr’s new British medical adviser on vaccines and Big Pharma | Aseem Malhotra Channel 4 News, 15 May 2025
Aseem Malhotra; “The whole system, unfortunately, has been corrupted, influenced by excess power of big corporations. That’s really at the root of the problem.”
Krishnan Guru-Murthy; “Your turn-around on the vaccine and your claim that it causes more harm than good, that is obviously a view that is not held by the vast majority of medical opinion or academic opinion. Given what you’ve said about vaccines, are you going to go to America and say we should ban these mRNA vaccines for COVID?
Aseem Malhotra; “Absolutely. One of the first things we’re going to do is we’re going to say, listen, this is the evidence we need to pause.”
Krishnan Guru-Murthy; “Aseem Malhotra is a deeply controversial British cardiologist who has just been appointed as chief Medical advisor of the Make America Healthy Again campaign group Co founded by Robert F Kennedy Jr. It makes him one of the US Health Secretary’s most influential medical advisors, and that’s alarming doctors and academics around the world because Aseem Malhotra, like RFK Jr, goes against the mainstream established opinion on many topics. Most controversially, he opposes the mRNA COVID vaccines, claiming they cause more harm than good. And he wants to end their use in America, even though people are still dying with COVID around the world. In the UK hundreds of people are dying with COVID every month, yet Malhotra claims the virus is no longer deadly. And that’s not all, he supports RFK Jr’s decision to reinvestigate the totally discredited claims of a link between vaccines and autism amid alarming levels of vaccine scepticism in America and outbreaks of deadly measles. Now, many people will question whether a vaccine sceptic in the medical profession should be given a platform like this, but it’s the platform he’s been given in America which makes him powerful. I started by asking Aseem Malhotra what job he’d been given.”
Aseem Malhotra; “So I’ve been given a role as chief medical adviser to MAHA Action, which is a nonprofit organisation that essentially works at state level to do research, educate and legislate for the purposes of making America healthy again. My role is essentially to synthesise and analyse data on how to translate the best evidence into policy for reversing chronic disease, because that’s obviously the main focus of MAHA. All the different levers that need to be pushed, whether it’s around legislation on ultra-processed junk food, whether it’s on how to improve quality care within the healthcare system itself, because there’s a big problem of over-medication, whether it’s about also highlighting issues around lack of good quality data or independent data when it comes to doctors giving prescriptions. In many ways we are an influence and educator and a lobbying group for the purposes of MAHA, so we will be speaking to senators, so we will have the ear of the senators and congressmen.”

Nick Hudson questions dominant narratives, warns of media distortion, and calls for decentralised thinking — with a heartfelt reminder of what really matters.
Nick Hudson’s private equity experience shaped his scepticism towards the COVID-19 narrative, leading him to challenge mainstream media data and urge questioning of established stories. He champions mavericks in society, warns against media manipulation, and highlights flaws in scientific modelling alongside accountability issues in both finance and science.
He points to a growing disconnect between public intellectuals and reality, advocating for freedom in scientific inquiry. Centralised institutions, he argues, stifle progress, while decentralisation fosters innovation. Exploring societal structures, he dismisses the notion of elite control and examines how cultural uniformity impacts political stability. He closes with heartfelt thoughts on the importance of family and raising children.
Presenter; “Let’s take, a virologist or a meteorologist and they’ve been working in their field for ten, fifteen years.

The meteorologist who genuinely thinks that we’re all going to drown because of ice caps melting. Now, are they genuinely decent people doing their best, or are they deliberately lying?”
Nick Hudson; “Let’s say their average decency, let’s give them that. But the problem is that in their fields, there’s no hard feedback loop. See, in my field, if I get something wrong, I lose my investors money and my fund gets closed. Simple. Happens very quickly.
I’ve got I’ve got the the gap between making a couple of major errors and no longer having a career is short. It’s a few years and then I’m unemployable. So I’ve got a real hard feedback loop. I’m either good at this or I’m not.”

Provoked War with Russia
Watch; Larry Johnson : Isn’t Russia Winning the War?; Judge Napolitano – Judging Freedom; 27 May 2025
Larry Johnson; “I think behind the scenes the Russians realise Trump’s a flake. You can’t count on him. He’s not a trustworthy negotiating partner. No matter what he tells you in private, doesn’t mean that that’s something he’s going to do in public. He’s not reliable. I think that they take that into account, they will flatter him, they will cater to his narcissism. But at the same time, Russia is not going to take the foot off the gas with its offense to demilitarise Ukraine and in the process demilitarise NATO until the job is finished.
And there’s going to be an unconditional surrender by Ukraine. That’s where this is headed.”
Judge Napolitano; “Here’s The Truth Social that he (Trump) posted. The clip that we saw was in Morristown, New Jersey, Sunday morning. Here’s what he posted back at the White House Sunday night.
I’ll read it.; “I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY! He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I’m not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into the cities in Ukraine and for no reason whatsoever. I’ve always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece of it, and maybe that’s proving to be right. But if he does, it will lead to the downfall of Russia. Like President Zelensky he is doing his country no favors by talking the way he does. Everything out of his mouth causes problems. I don’t like it, and it better stop. This is a war that would never have started if I were president. This is Zelenski, Putin’s and Biden’s war, not Trump’s in quotes. I am only helping to put out the big and ugly fires that have been started through gross incompetence and hatred.”
“So what is Putin going to say to him the next time they have one of their phone calls after listening to this drivel?
Larry Johnson; ” Putin will say, Mr President you obviously are not being properly informed about events. Here’s what happened …..and he’ll explain all the different drone attacks, all the attacks on civilian targets, attacking a church for example. At that point I can see Trump going, ‘oh, well, I didn’t know that thing. okay. Yeah. Now I understand.’ What’s shocking though is what he put out on True Social. that was like ten hours after the meeting with the reporters in New Jersey. at that point, he said, well, I haven’t heard that. Okay. So you think you’d get on the plane and say hey. What about this? Was Putin attacked? Instead, ten hours later, he’s still putting out the same garbage.
Judge Napolitano; “Who is responsible for informing him of what’s going on? Is it his national security adviser who’s also his secretary of state who’s rarely in Washington, who tells him, hey by the way, they tried to kill Putin. The drone came within half a mile of his helicopter. Who would have told him that?
Larry Johnson; “Yeah, it’s, Rubio, Susie Wiles, the Chief of Staff, and Tulsi Gabbard, and John Radcliffe, somebody in that chain, they need to tell him. But if he’s not asking if he’s just taking what’s being spoon fed to him but it just makes him look ridiculous.
I would recommend that if you’ve never watched Oliver Stone’s four part series from nine years ago, his interview with Vladimir Putin. It ‘s roughly about two hours, two and a half hours.
It will give you all the insight and understanding you need to you need in order to understand what’s taking place now and how Putin, the kind of man he is, calm, rational, thoughtful, but also has a memory and remembers the various betrayals he has experienced at the hands of Bill Clinton, George W Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and then Joe Biden. So it’s incumbent on people to get a sense of Putin because the cartoon figure that we’re presented with – Trump. ‘He’s crazy’. Why did Russia retaliate with such force against Ukraine? Well, because they had Ukrainians that attacked them with 1,400 drones. It was natural. Can you imagine what Donald Trump would do if the Mexican drug cartels launched 200 drones into Austin, Dallas, Phoenix, Albuquerque? Trump would have the bombers loaded and flying into Mexico.”
Judge Napolitano; “And can you imagine what he would do if they sent a drone after a helicopter that was carrying him? we’re not suggesting this should happen. We’re putting Trump into Putin’s position and asking Trump to see that Putin’s behavior is rational and justified. Trump is still saying that Putin wants all of Ukraine. Larry, there was not a scintilla of evidence. It’s the last thing in the world he (Putin) wants is to attempt to govern a country with guerrilla warfare fighting his government.”
Larry Johnson; ” I think they’re going to go back to what I call the natural western boundary of Russia, which is up to the nieper River. I think they’ll ultimately cross that river and take Kyiv as well. Russia’s going to end up controlling all of the territory East of the Dnieper before this is over. They’re not going to stop, and the West continues; people like Jack Keane and members of congress, Lindsey Graham, they operate in a world of complete delusion. They actually think that there’s something that we, The United States, can do militarily to prevent Russia from defending itself. The Russians have exercised extraordinary patience with this.”
The proxy war in Ukraine is to steal Russia’s resources and bleed them of their power to intervene in the West and zionist geopolitical games.
Watch; INTERVIEW: In place but not in power; George Galloway interviews Kit Klarenberg, 1 May 2025
Kit Klarenberg; ” I think that Starmer’s goose is cooked. He is on his last legs, I don’t think that he has very much left longer in power. But, of course, he’s not in power. He’s just doing whatever MI5 and MI6, his controllers in the Ministry of Defence, tell him to do.
I want to draw attention to a report in the Times, four or five days ago, which announced that the UK was scrapping any and all plans to send troops to Ukraine. It had this absolutely golden excerpt in it in which it claimed that the UK has always been opposed to deploying soldiers to Ukraine. It was France that wanted a more muscular approach. This is after months and months of fairly dangerous statements and commitments and pledges by Starmer that he would support Ukraine for as long as it takes to the tune of billions per year while pensioners are dying of cold because they can’t afford their energy bills. He openly and repeatedly stated that he would commit not peacekeeping forces, but regular British soldiers to fight alongside Ukraine.
This was confirmed by John Healey all of a week ago, I believe. He spoke of deploying British jets to police the skies over Ukraine. And now apparently, none of this happened. It was all the French’s idea in the first place anyway. To have put himself at such a high level and to have effectively checkmated it himself, the only way from the only way out of that is damned.”
Kit Klarenberg; “You have the Russian Revolution. They end up killing the Romanovs and therefore killing some of the British ruling elite, that’s never forgivable. Now you’ve got to bear in mind, in 1917, after the Bolsheviks signed the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk with Germany, France and Britain, along with a large number of other countries including Japan and the US, they invaded the burgeoning Soviet Union. And it was explicitly in the manner of Godfather 2 where they carve up the cake of Cuba between the different mafia Dons, it was about subjugating Russia and tearing it up into easily exploitable chunks due to its vast untapped resources. The French got the coal, the British got the timber, the entire map of Russia was divided in that manner. The Russians managed to successfully fight back that invasion, and ever since, with the exception of the 1990s, the West has not been able to bring them to heel. In my neck of the woods, adopted neck of the woods, the Balkans, the British are very, very, very active, with cities like Belgrade and Sarajevo crawling with MI6 operatives up to no good and causing trouble. Meanwhile, British think tanks talk about Russian aggression and Russian meddling in the Balkans, while there are British quote unquote, ‘peacekeepers’ openly walking in public in Bosnia and Kosovo and other places with their weapons drawn. If that’s not an invasion and occupation, I don’t know. But allegedly they’re there to guard against the risk of Russian aggression. Who is the aggressor here? It’s really quite extraordinary. This is an enduring desire to get their hands on Russia’s resources. It is writ large in the leaked documents that I’ve reported on for Grey Zone related to the operations of Project Alchemy, which is this Ministry of Defence-created secret cell of military veterans and intelligence officers who came up with all sorts of wild ideas for “keeping Ukraine fighting at all cost”, that’s a verbatim quote. They explicitly talk about wanting to get their hands on Russia’s oil and gas reserves, which are the world’s largest, Russia’s minerals, that sort of thing. That mindset has gone nowhere, and it has led us to where we are now, with NATO disarmed, Ukraine effectively lacking a male population, and all along the enduring risk of this escalating into World War 3.”
Scott Ritter destroys both Trump’s lies; that Ukraine is not his war and that Putin wants all of Ukraine when he plainly only wants to protect the Russians, who make up the vast majority living in the Donbas areas, from NATO-backed Nazi ethic cleansing. While 5,000 Ukrainians are dying on the battle field every week compared with 200 Russians, Putin wants to defeat the NATO /Nazi plan to destroy Russia. In Trump’s beastial arrogance, ignorance and inflated ego, he says he doesn’t know if he’s going to enforce the US constitution.

Understand the underlying policy, the underlying policy of the United States during the first Trump term is the same policy that is in place today, to destroy Russia from within. Donald Trump has not reversed course on that policy. Twenty CIA bases were built in Ukraine during Donald Trump’s time, twenty CIA bases. And these aren’t bases there to hold hands and sing kumbaya. These are people that are carrying out covert operations inside Russia, facilitating deep direct action strikes by the Ukrainians to train people for unconventional warfare, guerrilla warfare. This is what the CIA was doing under Donald Trump for one reason and one reason only, because we’re building a Ukrainian army in the West. And then there’s a slide that was put out by the Department of Defence under Donald Trump that had an arrow that said; ‘so we can take them over here and kill Russians in the East’, that’s Donald Trump’s policy. He’s a liar when he says this war wouldn’t have happened. He planned this war. He wanted this war. This is Donald Trump’s war. One of the problems is he can’t divorce himself from it because this, at the end of the day, was his policy objectives. The man doesn’t know how to stand for anything. He’s been led by the nose by people who are smarter than he is on the issues. Donald Trump is not a smart man, Donald Trump may have some basic sense when it comes to ‘I want peace’, but if you want peace, you have to change the foundation. Peace with Russia means you need to change the basic Russia policy. Are we seeking to destroy Russia or are we seeking to stabilise relations with Russia? I need a statement from Donald Trump today that says we are no longer seeking the strategic defeat of Russia, that we are working with Russia as an equal partner in the world. That means you want peace. Anything else means you want war. And look what he’s doing now, he’s giving the Ukrainians more money, he says for defence. All it does is prolong the war. Donald Trump, 5,000 men are dying a week, you idiot. Why don’t you talk to people who know 5,000 Ukrainians are dying a week? Maybe a couple of hundred Russians, but if you think for a second Russia is being bled to death on the battlefield, you really don’t have a functioning brain cell.”
In the second world war soldiers from Western Ukraine were fighting for Nazi Germany and in East Ukraine they were fighting for the Allies as they are Russian!
Listen; Ukraine Honoured, Russians Forgotten; UK Column News, 9 May 2025
Scott Ritter; “Why is Ukraine so central to British Victory Day celebrations in 2025? We’ve created this whole story that somehow we’re shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine.”
Mike Robinson; “Remind me who Ukraine was fighting for during the Second World War?”
Scott Ritter; “Well, they were torn actually. Western Ukraine, many of them were fighting with the Nazis, with Germany, but Eastern Ukrainians were fighting with the Red Army. That’s not to say that it was 100% of people in the East and West were fighting on those sides. So Ukraine was torn in two, effectively with the Second World War. And the remnants of those Nazi collaborators are actually in power in Kiev. Look at this just to remind people today, this is the Banderite Nazis marching in today’s Ukraine, they’re marching in the streets, torch processions at midnight with ultra nationalists. This is who the US and the UK and NATO are backing in Ukraine, these are the direct descendants of Stefan Bandera. So they’re erecting statues to Nazis and they’re tearing down memorials to the Second World War, Victory Day memorials that shows what the Soviet Union, the Red army lost in defeating the Nazis during the Second World War. So it’s a very confusing time for the West, especially for Britain and France, having really cast their lot with this ultra-nationalist Nazi-leaning regime in Kiev, with Zelensky at the head, serving at the pleasure of the ultra-nationalists effectively. This is how informed, intelligent commentators are seeing it, as well as honest historians. But we have mainstream media who are seeing a different story unfortunately. But let’s go over to Moscow here, and the scenes in Moscow for Victory Day, arguably the third biggest holiday in the country after Christmas and Easter is Victory Day, big 80 year anniversary. But look at this, Zelensky basically has threatened world leaders, ‘don’t go to the parade in Moscow’, that’s what Zelensky did this week. Robert Fico, from Slovakia, the PM, he basically slammed Zelensky for this. How dare you threaten world leaders? He’s saying you’re not threatening me, he said, you’re threatening the president of Brazil, you’re threatening the president of China, President Xi. And so this was a very bad move by Zelensky from a public relations point of view. He even accused Russia of staging a false flag on VE Day, so if he did it, he would have blamed it on Russia. There’s Lula from Brazil with XI, so they weren’t deterred by Zelensky’s threats. But imagine if they made those threats against the United States, what would have happened? That’s the situation Russia’s in, there’s Fico (PM of Slovakia) basically tearing strips off Zelensky and the Ukrainians for this, so hats off to Slovakia. Obviously, he survived an assassination attempt, arguably related to this very issue. I just find it to be very rich, this kind of embracing of Ukraine, especially when they’re behaving like this on the international stage, threatening to kill the presidents of China and Brazil if they show up to Moscow for victory, I mean, it’s unbelievable. Where is the condemnation from British heads of state, from French, from European, from von der Leyen, from the US head of state? Trump didn’t say anything against this. It would be great if the US were to send a representative to the Victory Day Parade, but that might be a bridge too far.”
Listen; INTEL Roundtable w/ Johnson & McGovern; Judging Freedom, 16 May 2025
Judge Napolitano; “Why the hell are General Kellogg and Sebastian Gorka and those characters still whispering into Trump’s ears if he’s diminishing and blaming all of our failures since 9/11 on the neocons?”
Ray McGovern; “Trump does not have any consistency in terms of who he surrounds himself with. Once again, what was illustrated in today’s talks, the United States doesn’t hold any cards. This entire spectacle was designed to try to create a scenario in which Trump’s going to be compelled to impose new sanctions on Russia. And Russia doesn’t care if Trump does that, he’s going to dramatically erode his credibility with the Russians. The Russians went in today and boy, they essentially hit the Ukrainians with a bucket of cold water. Medinsky (academic, adviser to Putin) said, ‘look, here’s the deal, you withdraw all of your forces from Kherson, from Zaporizhia, from Donetsk, Luhansk, and then we can talk about a ceasefire. But until that happens, no, we’re not going to talk ceasefire. If you turn this offer down, we’re going to take four more’. The Russians are moving steadily to the West. They’re going to take Dnieper, Petrovskyi, Sumy, Poltava and Kharkiv. And they’ll be up against the East Bank of the Dnieper River. And there’s not a thing the Ukraine or the NATO can do about it because the root causes of this conflict is not Ukraine. It’s not what Ukraine did to the Russians. It is NATO and the United States. It’s what we’ve done to the Russians.”
Read; Rooting Out the Root Causes in Ukraine; Joe Lauria, Consortium News, 19 May 2025
‘Vladimir Putin told Donald Trump on the phone Monday the Ukraine war can only end after addressing its “root causes,” which the Western media have been tirelessly rooting out of public discussion since the war began’, says Joe Lauria.
‘After a two-hour telephone call between the presidents of Russia and the United States on Monday, President Vladimir Putin said:
“I would like to emphasise once again that the conversation was very constructive, and I rate it highly. The question, of course, is for the Russian and Ukrainian sides to show maximum desire for peace and find compromises that would suit all parties. At the same time, I would like to note that Russia’s position is generally clear. The main thing for us is to eliminate the root causes of this crisis.”
It should be no mystery to Western leaders, media and the public what those root causes are, as Moscow has been repeating them ad nauseam beginning 30 years ago and especially in the run up to Russia’s 2022 intervention in Ukraine’s then eight-year old civil war.
The problem is the West appears too full of itself to bother listening to what its adversary has to say, which in itself has been one of the root causes of the conflict.
Unlike consumers of mainstream media — the majority of the population — readers of independent news outlets, like Consortium News, are well aware of what those root causes are. For doing its job by reporting on the causes of the conflict, CN and other alternative media, have been branded Russian propagandists.
The root causes bear repeating here. 1) NATO expansion; 2) Forward deployment of NATO troops and missiles in Romania and Poland; 3) NATO training and equipping Ukraine as a proxy with the intention of bringing Ukraine into NATO; 4) the 2014 unconstitutional change of government leading to attacks against Russian speakers in the south and east of Ukraine; and 5) the outsized influence of Neo-Nazi groups in Ukraine.
[For a detailed discussion, see: Ukraine Timeline Tells the Tale]
Many useful analogies have been made about a Russian-backed overthrow of the Mexican or Canadian governments and Russian missiles pointed at the US being deployed in either country. The 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis showed how the US reacted when missiles were deployed near its borders.
Meanwhile, establishment media have worked overtime to root out the root causes from the public’s mind.
They bury them by airbrushing out of the story a) NATO expansion; b) the US.-backed unconstitutional change of government in Ukraine in 2014; c) Ukraine, with NATO backing, starting the war against ethnic Russian Donbass the same year; d) Ukraine and the West’s failure to abide by the Minsk accords in 2015 to end the war; e) Ukraine pulling out of the Istanbul agreement in 2022 under US and UK pressure; and f) ditching its 2014 coverage of the role of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis in this.
After the Phone Call
The big questions emerging from today’s telephone conversation are 1) After two hours of, no doubt, careful explanation by Putin to Donald Trump, did the American president finally allow these root causes to penetrate his mind? Is he prepared to instruct US negotiators to address these causes in a final peace agreement?
Trump has made fleeting remarks before that seem to indicate some sort of understanding of the Russian perspective, such as when he said in January:
Trump; “A big part of the problem is, Russia – for many, many years, long before Putin – said, ‘You could never have NATO involved with Ukraine.’ Now, they’ve said that. That’s been written in stone. And somewhere along the line [Joe] Biden said, ‘No. They should be able to join NATO.’ Well, then Russia has somebody right on their doorstep, and I could understand their feelings about that.”
What’s required is a full, sustained comprehension that Trump may be incapable of. He must be prepared to stand up to (or dismiss) the hardliners on his team — namely Gen. Keith Kellogg and Secretary of State Marco Rubio — and to use US leverage to press Ukraine to accept that these root causes must be resolved to bring peace.
The early reaction from Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, particularly about Russian demands that Ukraine cede territory to Moscow, shows Trump would have his work cut out for him.
“Ukraine will not withdraw troops from part of its own territory and will not succumb to Russia’s ultimatums,” Zelensky said Monday. “I asked him [Trump] not to accept anything about Ukraine without Ukraine.”
But without addressing the root causes, the Kremlin has made clear it is prepared to continue the war until they are resolved. The sacrifices it and Ukraine have made otherwise make little sense from Russia’s viewpoint. Moscow’s chief negotiator in the Ukraine-Russia talks that began in Istanbul last week said Russia had fought Sweden for 21 years in the 18th century and was in for the long haul in Ukraine.’
More futile sanctions against Russia that like the others will backfire and strengthen Russia’s economy. Russia is preparing to sue the Belgian bank Euroclear, which is holding seized Russian assets, in a Hong Kong court, which could block Euroclear from doing any business in Asia, potentially bankrupting Euroclear.
Watch; Russia retaliation against EUROCLEAR. France-Italy entente; The Duran, 18 May 2025
Alex Christoforou; “Actually it appears that Russia is taking the first steps towards legal retaliation against the EU, more specifically Euroclear and we are getting reports that they’re going to take Euroclear to court, I believe in Hong Kong, and basically it will block Euroclear from doing any business in Asia.”
Alexander Mercouris; ” So we’ve had another, the 17th sanctions package which does exactly the same things. But the other 16th sanctions package, it’s going to do absolutely nothing, it’s not even going to dent the Russian economy. We’re now hearing about an 18th sanctions package. We’re getting some European officials complaining to to Bloomberg, for example, that all of these sanctions are now destroying Europe’s credibility because it’s beginning to look like Europe is the big bad wolf, it huffs and puffs but it can’t blow the house down. And people are starting to laugh at Europe. And I’m not taking it seriously anymore. Well, that’s quite how it was couched in Bloomberg. But you can start to see that you have Metz not only talking about building the strongest army in Europe, something which people in Germany absolutely do not want.
All of the leaders in Europe are hopeless, they’re all over the place. The one person amongst the big leaders of the big countries who is starting, step by step to distance herself from the others is Meloni and interestingly enough, Salvini. Remember him? He’s apparently a rising force again in Italian politics. He had a very successful and very friendly meeting with Marine Le Pen. Both of them went out of their way to say complimentary things about Meloni.
They’re talking about Italy and France establishing a new Entente, basically the end of the Franco-German axis, which has been driving the whole process of European integration. Le Pen said, it hasn’t worked, it’s been a disaster for France, Italy is much more our natural ally, France’s natural ally, than Germany is. We’re the two most alike countries amongst the big countries in Europe and it is we, France and Italy, should who should come together and bring sanity to this entire project. And both Salvini and Le Pen also speaking up against this whole warmongering trend in European politics. So it’s an interesting meeting and as I said, I suspect that Meloni quietly approved it.
I also think there’s something else which is driving it, which is Italian public opinion, which is what she’s very sensitive to. Amongst the leaders of the big European states, she is the one who takes the opinion of people in her own country, most seriously. Metz, Starmer, Macron, they don’t care what their people think. Ursula obviously doesn’t care what anybody in Europe thinks outside of the elite, but I think Meloni does. Meloni had to fight her way up from the bottom, organise a party, fight very gruelling and difficult elections, all of that. So she’s much more of a politician than what any of the others are.”
No politician with integrity will get into power while the billionaires and their sycophantic minions, not least those in the mainstream media, control our minds and cheat at the voting booths.
Read; How U.S. Meddling In The Romanian Election Is Part Of The Larger War With Russia; The Dissident, 24 May 2025
‘The Romanian election has recently wrapped up with a Romanian court certifying the election win for the pro-NATO candidate Nicusor Dan, over the NATO skeptical candidate George Simion. What the mainstream media has not mentioned is that the more popular NATO skeptic in the election, Calin Georgescu, was kicked off the ballot after a bogus lawfare campaign backed by America’s ‘NGO’ cut outs of the CIA. What is further not mentioned is that this election meddling fits a long standing pattern of the United States and NATO, meddling, backing coups and even dropping bombs to prevent any country in Europe from getting too close to Russia and keep them in line with NATO. I will eventually get into the details of the American meddling in Romania, but first will review the history of this long standing NATO policy.’
In 1997, the veteran diplomat George F. Kennan wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post, warning about the consequences of further NATO expansion eastward. He wrote that “expanding NATO would be the most fateful error of American policy in the entire post-cold-war era”, writing “Such a decision may be expected to inflame the nationalistic, anti-Western and militaristic tendencies in Russian opinion; to have an adverse effect on the development of Russian democracy; to restore the atmosphere of the cold war to East-West relations, and to impel Russian foreign policy in directions decidedly not to our liking.” He also wrote that the policy would “make it much more difficult, if not impossible, to secure the Russian Duma’s ratification of the Start II agreement and to achieve further reductions of nuclear weaponry.” Kennan wrote that this view “is not only mine alone but is shared by a number of others with extensive and in most instances more recent experience in Russian matters.” Ignoring the actual experts, the Bill Clinton administration and NATO went forward with the NATO expansion policy anyways.
Provoked War with China
Listen; Is war on China coming?; Geopolitical Economy Report, 27 April 2025
Ben Norton; ” Hegseth (US Defence Secretary) said the Trump administration has three main goals for the military; reviving the warrior ethos, rebuilding our military and restoring deterrence. Those are the three pillars of what President Trump’s Pentagon is trying to do to make sure we’re prepared. Now in pretty much every war in human history, the aggressor always claims to be acting in self defence. Even Adolf Hitler absurdly claimed that supposedly he was acting in the defence of Germany or whatever nonsense he was saying. Of course, the US military, which has been at war non-stop for centuries, has also always claimed that it’s acting in self defence for human rights or whatever. And this is no exception here. In his remarks in Japan, Hegseth claimed that the US and Japan are working together to fight against ‘Communist Chinese aggression’. Now keep in mind that whenever he talks about China, he always says Communist China. This is the Cold War rhetoric that we’re back to.
Hegseth; “America and Japan stand firmly together in the face of aggressive and coercive actions by the Communist Chinese.”
Ben Norton; “Now I really need to fact check the US Defense secretary there because it’s so ridiculous hearing the head of the US military claim that China is the aggressive one. China has not fought a war since 1979. That was the last war that China fought, 1979, whereas the US military has engaged in literally hundreds of military interventions just in the past few decades. According to official US government data from the Congressional Research Service, the US military launched 251 foreign interventions from 1991 until 2022, and 469 military interventions abroad from 1798 until 2022. The US military has intervened in the majority of all of the countries on Earth, and yet we’re supposed to believe that China is supposedly the aggressive one, while the US military is surrounding China with missile systems that can hit the majority of China’s cities. It’s completely Orwellian, we’re living in a topsy turvy world, we’re living in opposite land. But the US Defence secretary repeated the same Orwellian rhetoric when he visited the Philippines in March on this tour of Asia, and Pete Hegseth said that the United States is working to fight against Communist China’s aggression.
Hegseth; “It reflects the strength, as I said, of our ironclad alliance, particularly in the face of Communist China’s aggression in the region”.
Ben Norton; “But in this press conference in the Philippines, Pete Hegseth mentioned the commander of US Indo Pacific Command, Admiral Samuel Paparo. He said that US Admiral Paparo is making, quote, ‘real war plans’, end quote. And then he said that the US military is creating strategic dilemmas for the communist Chinese. Listen here.
Hegseth; “You mentioned the 7th Fleet. It’s not my job to determine where the 7th Fleet goes. I defer to Admiral Paparo and his war plans, real war plans. Admiral Paparo understands the situation, understands the geographic significance, understands the urgency and is prepared to work with those in the region to ensure we are leaning forward in our posture, not waiting for events to develop, not retrograding to places further from the front, but deploying capabilities, forward, posturing and creating dynamics and strategic dilemmas for he Communist Chinese.”
Ben Norton; “The Philippines has become the main US proxy that Washington is trying to use to push for war on China and the US military has gotten access to several new military bases in the Philippines. This goes back to the Biden administration and now the Trump administration is continuing this policy of militarising the Philippines to prepare for war on China. The current government of the Philippines is led by a very pro-US leader named Ferdinand Marcos Junior known as Bong Bong Marcos. He’s the son of the former longtime dictator of the Philippines who during the first Cold War was a loyal US puppet and he governed the Philippines with an iron fist. He was a brutal dictator and the Marcos family is also notorious for being extremely corrupt during this US backed right wing dictatorship in the Philippines. The Marcos family stole billions of dollars of wealth from the people of the Philippines, which is a very poor country and they never faced any consequences, any repercussions. And now the corrupt dictator’s son is back in power and he has once again turned the Philippines into a loyal US proxy in the new Cold War.”
Watch; US is losing the trade war with China, what now? Iverson Report, 18 April 2025
Chinese Economist; “They rob you blind and you thank them for it. That’s a tragedy. That’s a scam. That’s why I’m saying this right now, Americans, you don’t need a tariff, you need a revolution. For decades, your government and oligarchs ship your jobs to China. Not for diplomacy, not for peace, but to exploit cheap labourers. And in the process they hollowed out your middle class, crushed your working class and told you to be proud while they sold your future for profit. And yes, China made money, but we used it to build roads, lift millions out of poverty, fund healthcare, raise living standard, we reinvested in our people. My family also benefit from it. What did your oligarchs do? They bought yachts, private jets, mansions with golf course, driveways. They manipulate market, dodge tax and poured billions into endless wars. And you? You get stagnated wages, crippling healthcare cost, cheap dopamine, debt and flag waving, probably made in China while they pick your pocket. For 40 years both China and the United States benefit from the trade, the manufacturing, but only one of us used that wealth to build. This isn’t China’s fault, this is yours. You let this happen. You let the oligarchs feed you lice while they made you fat, poor and addicted. Now they blame China for the mess they made. I don’t think you need another tariff, you need to wake up, you need to take your country back. I think you need a revolution.”
