Saudi dictator exposed as a double-agent in war on Iran, and the Iranians know it
31 Mar 2026
Exposing Saudi complicity in the war on Iran, contrary to the neutral position they presented publicly. They were providing intelligence and logistics support to the US while appearing neutral, but Iran knew the treachery, and launched 47 drones to strike Saudi to signal it knows of the Saudi dictator's treachery.

The daily reality of Palestinians violently and sexually assaulted by Israeli settlers and IDF terrorists, caught on camera by CNN
31 Mar 2026
TYT published a video that show on camer depraved IDF terrorists assaulting journalists. Because they were American journalists, conversations have taken place at very senior levels and statements have been released, including from the IDF. It says action has been or will be taken against the IDF terrorists caught on camera behaving barbarically and in a manner that is the opposite to how a decent human being would behave.
The reality is it is just a stunt because the Americans are an important propaganda channel for the Israelis and so the Israelis placate them with words of shock, investigations and penalties, and profuse apologies. No one believes these terrorists will be disciplined; no one believes they will stop doing exactly what they did on camera when the Americans won't be there to film them.

The reality of what happens daily to Palestinians was exposed when CNN reported the case of a Palestinian who was sexually and violently assaulted by the Israeli settlers (see two images below).
I sent a message to a Palestinian researcher and activist today in case this story is of relevance to her. I don'ty suppose I'll get a reply.

Haiphong gives an update on the war on Iran
Haiphong interviewed Krapivnik. He bluntly summarised that Iran is not engaging in tit-for-tat but is retaliating with multiples of the attack on Iran. For example, the US-Israeli Axis of Evil's attack on two Iranian steel mills was reciprocated by attacks on six mills by Iran. he US-Israeli Axis of Evil hit two Iranian universities; Iran told the attackers and their allies to evacuate around 15 universities that Iran might hit in retaliation.
He quipped about Trump telling the Gulf states they will have to pay for the war. They have no choice because their money and gold are stashed in US banks and Fort Knox so the US already has it to collect payment if the Gulf states refuse to pay.
He mentioned Erdogan directed 57 tankers to the Israelis that could have gone to Europe. It exposes Erdogan's hypocrisy - on the surface he is against the Israelis but underneath he is supporting them.

Marandi gives an update on the war on Iran
31 Mar 2026
In ths video by Dialogue Works, Marandi said the US-Israeli Axis of Evil is bombing food, homes, hospitals, universities, water facilities and demonstrations of people. "We're dealing with monsters. Uh the Trump regime, the Netanyahu regime, these are monsters. the Zionist, the the collective west, these regimes in the Persian Gulf that have been hosting these bases and facilitating the air strikes for the last uh for over a month now. These are all monsters and uh they con they constantly try to hide this." He noted the absence of reporting in the west of the war crimes "it's not as if the opponents of Trump in the West they have any humanity. They just dislike Trump."
He mentioned the "It's unbelievable how Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, how disgusting and disgraceful they are and how openly they are just tools of empire." "hey've been slaughtering women on the streets of tan they've been slaughtering and of course without any complaints in the west or by human rights watch or which instead attacks Iran"
He was referring to the HRW report on four Israelis killed, presumably by cluster bombs from Iran. A search on HRW did not result in any comments by HRW on the war crimes of the US-Israeli Axis of Evil's bombing of civilians and civilian infrastructure. There are, however, articles critical of Iran, which suggests HRW bias in its criticism.
He said of the Europeans "these European elites are like rats who see that the ship is sinking. They're in a
lot of trouble already as it is. I mean the Ukraine war has depleted their resources...the EU is not in a position to wage war against Iran. They are already losing the war in Ukraine and they've emptied their pockets."
Marandi said Hezbollah "entered the fight in order to protect Gaza in order to draw away forces from Gaza so that fewer children would be massacred. They risk they they sacrificed their own children. They sacrificed their own men and women."
Marandi mentioned a 2013 book by US analysts (the Leveretts) "Going to Tehran" that calls for a change of US attitude towards Iran and, just as Nixon went to China and thereby changed the relationship, so the US admin must go to Iran to change the way it deals with Iran.
Book synopsis:
"Less than a decade after Washington endorsed a fraudulent case for invading Iraq, similarly misinformed and politically motivated claims are pushing America toward war with Iran.
Today the stakes are even higher: such a war could break the back of America's strained superpower status. Challenging the daily clamor of U.S. saber rattling, Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett argue that America should renounce thirty years of failed strategy and engage with Iran--just as Nixon revolutionized U.S. foreign policy by going to Beijing and realigning relations with China.
Former analysts in both the Bush and Clinton administrations, the Leveretts offer a uniquely informed account of Iran as it actually is today, not as many have caricatured it or wished it to be. They show that Iran's political order is not on the verge of collapse, that most Iranians still support the Islamic Republic, and that Iran's regional influence makes it critical to progress in the Middle East.
Drawing on years of research and access to high-level officials, Going to Tehran explains how Iran sees the world and why its approach to foreign policy is hardly the irrational behavior of a rogue nation. A bold call for new thinking, the Leveretts' indispensable work makes it clear that America must 'go to Tehran' if it is to avert strategic catastrophe"--
"I think it's probably a very good source [the Leverett book] for people to begin trying to understand uh the politics of of of Iran and its foreign policy and its relationship with the United States" says Marandi.
"these family dictatorships [Gulf states], they've been used as platforms against multiple countries against Syria, against Iraq, against Yemen, against Iran, against Lebanon. Uh and of course, all of this is to protect the Israeli regime. All of these bases, even that these family dictatorships have figured that out by now, but Iran is not going to allow this to be them to be a platform uh for aggression in future."

FT.com - US-Israeli Axis of Evil's war on Iran is causing an increase in the use of polluting coal by countries desperate for energy
31 Mar 2026
FT.com published a piece on rising use of coal. I posted a comment but it was referred to a moderator:
"The pivot by western governments and car makers away from EV and back to fossil fuels is a matter of choice. Resorting to coal is a necessity owing to constraints caused by the wholly unjustified and illegal war on Iran by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil.
The sooner countries put pressure on that Axis to withdraw and stop their warmongering and imperialism, the sooner those countries can scale-back their use of coal. Nature will thank them for it."

Israelis pass discriminatory and racist Palestinian death penalty bill
31 Mar 2026
FT.com published an article about the Israelis passing a racist and discriminatory death penalty bill.
"there are a lot of deviations from international law" referring to the bill.
"“It’s not just bringing back the death penalty. It’s bringing back a very, very extreme version which doesn’t exist in any democracy.” The Israeli state is not a democratic state; it is an apartheid state.
The last time a person was hung in the Israeli state was a Nazi war criminal, in 1962
Watch this clip of disgusting Israeli MPs celebrating the passing of the bill (go to -1hr 23 mins).

Commemorating Land Day in Palestine
30 Mar 2026
PSC held a webinar to commemorate Land Day - a rememberance of people who fought against Israeli land grabs across Palestine.
Three Palestinian academics discussed the disturbing expropriation of Palestinian farming land, homes and entire villages by Israeli settlers, plus Israeli destruction and erosion of the stolen land by contamination and industralisation.
They exposed the resistance of governments to stop the land grab or to remove the charitable status of the Israeli organisation (JNF) that coordinates the land grabs. The academics summarised action, going forward, that anyone watching should take, such as increasing awareness of the JNF.
The webinar discussed the contribution of women to the Palestinian struggle. They also discussed the right of return of Palestinians to their homeland - a right denied to Palestinians by Israelis.
Shockingly, they talk of Palestinian villages destroyed by settlers and then the Israelis build a parkland over those ruins so they can claim tax benefits and environmental subsidies and grants. They describe the violence and thefts by Israeli settlers.
PSC said:
30 March is Yom al Ard, Land Day, when Palestinians and the solidarity movement commemorate the ongoing struggle against Israel’s settler-colonial land grabs and honour land defenders of past and present. This year Land Day falls in the wake of Israel’s reintroduction of the colonial land registration regulations in the West Bank, which amounts to a mass land grab.
As Israel’s genocide in Gaza continues, and attacks on communities in the ’48 territory increase, all Palestinians in their historic homeland and in exile will continue to raise awareness of the stakes of this ongoing Nakba; honouring, protecting and preserving their unbreakable connection to their land. This webinar will serve as a part of that important mission, featuring renowned Palestinian scholars and activists speaking directly to the escalating threat of ethnic cleansing, its impact on specific communities and the inspiring ways in which Palestinians are resisting. They will also discuss the historic relationship between the Israeli state and the Jewish National Fund (JNF) in carrying out land grabs.
In this country, the UK branch of the JNF remains a major fundraiser and propaganda outlet which operates as a registered charity.
Speakers include:
Dr. Salman Abu-Sitta is the founder and president of the Palestine Land Society, dedicated to the documentation of Palestine’s land and people. He is a PSC patron.
Dr. Kholoud al Ajarma is a Palestinian anthropologist, refugee rights advocate, photographer and film-maker.
Dr. Manal Shqair is a Palestinian activist and scholar focusing on everyday resistance in Palestine from a gendered and environmental justice perspective.

Israelis should realise that a nuclear strike on Iran will not stop Iran building then firing nukes at Israelis
30 Mar 2026
Postol gave an emphatic presentation in a video by Diesen on the ease with which Iran could already build a nuke from the components it has ready and very quickly. He said this to make it clear that if the Israelis fire nukes at Iran to destroy Iran, then Iran has the ability to make and then fire nukes at the Israelis. Knowing that Iranian capability should, Postol hopes, deter the Israelis (Netanyahu) from firing the nukes first.
Postol gave an account of the devastation that nukes would inflict: the tremendous heat would start fires and that would destroy buildings and create an oven effect so people would be incinerated if not blown up by the force of the air pressure created by the nuclear explosion.
He hoped that the Israelis would get the message and so back-off from their reckless warmongering. He is a jew but has disowned Israel and calls himself just an American not an American jew. He said the jews they are not the 'chosen people'. Soem of his comments are reproduced below:
"Israel can survive as a state but it has to adopt a different attitude toward Iran. Israelis have to say we have to live and let live...we need to respect their [Iran's] right to exist as a great nation.
We [Israelis] cannot continue this way. We need to establish credibility as a negotiating state who acts according to the diplomatic rules...You cannot continue operating this way. You are not the chosen people that you think you are."
"you [Israelis] have no right to be murderous in this way. And you have no right to disrespect the rights of other countries who also want to survive on their own. And you need to accept that. And you need to transmit that to the world"
"Americans are fed up with Israel. Israel does not have this relationship with the American population that it used to have. I talk to Americans all the time who say, "I'm not going to war to defend those Israelis, and I'm not going to be sucked into a war to defend those Israelis." So, Israelis who think that they're going to be on the on the gravy train after this thing happens better think twice"
"a lot of American Jews [think] that these guys in Israel have taken advantage of the United States and I'm finished with them"

FT.com published a piece by Rachman that was one-side about Iran and which did not mention the Israelis. My long comment was published, for now.

Rachman replied to my email, almost immediately. His reply was surprising (see it below), the kind by someone who is defensive not objective and reasonable.

Depraved far-right Israeli MP Yitzhak Kroizer supports IDF murders of Palestinian women and children
30 Mar 2026
I came across this clip on Canary of a depraved far-right jew and Israeli MP called Yitzhak Kroizer - "an unashamed, racist advocate of the murder of Palestinian women and children". Watch him here say as much. The transcript of his speech says:
"Every possible stage I back the IDF fighters in every situation/even if the price is killing children/or women or it doesn't interest me /We back our fighters at any price and no matter what the result/first of all full backing/and in Jenin there are no innocent civilians/in Jenin there are no innocent children/those same ones who were born in 2006 in the expulsion from Gush Katif/they are the nukhbas of 2026 on the 7th of October/and therefore I do not have even a bit/even a bit any kind of feeling of mercy for Palestinians."
I posted a reply on The Canary - see below.

Iran's retaliatory strikes on Gulf states has been exonerated by US regime's admission over using Gulf states
29 Mar 2026
I tuned in for the latest video by Haiphong for an update on the war on Iran. He mentioned news that Gulf states bases are used to attack Iran. That admission justifies Iran attacking these Gulf states and it discredits the G7's joint statement criticising Iran's attacks on these Gulf states (see my 22 Mar post below for that statement), and it discredits the UNSC's condemnation of Iran's attacks. Iran's attacks are legal and permissible under UN Resolution 3314 (see image below).
He said the eyes of the US military has been blinded by the destruction of a US E-3 Sentry aircraft by a pin-point air strike on it by Iran, and it has sustained damage that is far worse (terminal) than was originally reported by the US press.
He said a Ukrainian site in Dubai was hit by Iran and 21 Ukrainians were killed. Ukraine denies the report.
Haiphong said the Israeli state continued to be hit (and massively from the images shown) by missiles from Iran and Yemen (and Lebanon), confirming the Israelis have no effective air defence. He also mentioned a retaliatory strike that destroyed an Israeli chemicals facility.
Haiphong mentioned the Yemenis were waiting and ready to attack the Red sea - perhaps waiting until it is clear how and when the Americans will launch their threatened ground invasion of Iran. He mentioned an Israeli port was shut from Nov 2023 - 2025 following Yemenese air strikes on Israelis that were launched in 2023 in support of Palestinians.
To further illustrate and confirm the depravity and barbarity of the US-Israeli Axis of Evil, now supported by the UK providing its air bases for US missile attacks, Haiphong mentioned the attacks on Iranian infrastructure: including universities, hospitals, police stations, energy, steel, and schools.
An Iranian university in Tehran was extensively damaged. In retaliation, Iran has given an evacuation notice to many Gulf states including Lebanon and Iraq, that have US university sites, to evacuate them by 12 noon 30 March because two universities (of the roughly twenty named by Iran) will be bombed by Iran in retaliation.
Haiphong noted the similarity in the US rhetoric being spewed out now to what was spewed out in the run-up to the Vietnam war, a war that turned out far different to what was presented, or expected, initially. He said the US invasion is moving in the same direction as it moved in the Vietnam war.
Iran warned any Gulf state that provides a launchpad to the US, will be destroyed.
He said around 500 (according to Iran) US personnel had been killed in Iran's attacks on places in the Gulf states where these US personnel were hiding (e.g., hotels).
Haiophong also said the US was forcing the Gulf states to make defiant statements to Iran, equivalent to committing suicide, in order for the blame for the death and destruction that will occur in these Gulf states, to fall on these Gulf states' leaders and NOT on the US who is directing them covertly to commit suicide. That is how US imperialism works - by deflecting blame and criticism away from itself.
He added that the greater Israel project is in shambles given the forceful and motivated resistance shown by Lebanon and Iran. The Israeli military has admitted it is on the verge of collapse and in need of additional military personnel (draft). $600m of Israeli tanks (100 tanks) have been destroyed by Lebanon.

Iran's attacks are legal and permissible under UN Resolution 3314 (see image below).
He said the eyes of the US military has been blinded by the destruction of a US E-3 Sentry aircraft by a pin-point air strike on it by Iran, and it has sustained damage that is far worse (terminal) than was originally reported by the US press.
He said a Ukrainian site in Dubai was hit by Iran and 21 Ukrainians were killed. Ukraine denies the report.
Haiphong said the Israeli state continued to be hit (and massively from the images shown) by missiles from Iran and Yemen (and Lebanon), confirming the Israelis have no effective air defence. He also mentioned a retaliatory strike that destroyed an Israeli chemicals facility.
Haiphong mentioned the Yemenis were waiting and ready to attack the Red sea - perhaps waiting until it is clear how and when the Americans will launch their threatened ground invasion of Iran. He mentioned an Israeli port was shut from Nov 2023 - 2025 following Yemenese air strikes on Israelis that were launched in 2023 in support of Palestinians.
To further illustrate and confirm the depravity and barbarity of the US-Israeli Axis of Evil, now supported by the UK providing its air bases for US missile attacks, Haiphong mentioned the attacks on Iranian infrastructure: including universities, hospitals, police stations, energy, steel, and schools.
An Iranian university in Tehran was extensively damaged. In retaliation, Iran has given an evacuation notice to many Gulf states including Lebanon and Iraq, that have US university sites, to evacuate them by 12 noon 30 March because two universities (of the roughly twenty named by Iran) will be bombed by Iran in retaliation.
Haiphong noted the similarity in the US rhetoric being spewed out now to what was spewed out in the run-up to the Vietnam war, a war that turned out far different to what was presented, or expected, initially. He said the US invasion is moving in the same direction as it moved in the Vietnam war.
Iran warned any Gulf state that provides a launchpad to the US, will be destroyed.
He said around 500 (according to Iran) US personnel had been killed in Iran's attacks on places in the Gulf states where these US personnel were hiding (e.g., hotels).
Haiophong also said the US was forcing the Gulf states to make defiant statements to Iran, equivalent to committing suicide, in order for the blame for the death and destruction that will occur in these Gulf states, to fall on these Gulf states' leaders and NOT on the US who is directing them covertly to commit suicide. That is how US imperialism works - by deflecting blame and criticism away from itself.
He added that the greater Israel project is in shambles given the forceful and motivated resistance shown by Lebanon and Iran. The Israeli military has admitted it is on the verge of collapse and in need of additional military personnel (draft). $600m of Israeli tanks (100 tanks) have been destroyed by Lebanon.
Rally in central London against racism and other causes
28 Mar 2026
There was a major rally in central London today against racism and other worthy causes such as the war on Iran and Palestine. I did not attend because I had to attend the Green party conference to cast my vote on Motion A105 (zionism is racist).
This very short clip says 1 million attended the rally.

IT malfunction and pro-Israelis' delay tactics prevent Motion A105 from being heard at Green party conference
28 Mar 2026
I spent the whole day from 9:30 to almost 6pm sitting in front of my screen listening to events unfold at the Green Party conference.
It was an awful ordeal that would have been a worthwhile ordeal had the reason I joined the Green Party come to a successful conclusion. That conclusion was for Motion A105 to be passed by party members.
It almost happened but time ran out for it to be heard and for a vote to be taken on the Motion. Another 30 minutes was all that was needed but conference rules limited the extension to 15 minutes and no more. Time was slipping away and just after the Motion sponsor had given her 2 minute overview of it, time ran out.
By the time she had finished her 2-minutes, her voice had broken and she was sobbing and emotionally overcome - probably in part because she realised all her hard work and hope and effort to get the Motion passed had just slipped away because there was no more time.
The emotion was also probably because the day had been riddled with setbacks. Those setbacks included hours wasted trying to fix the IT needed to vote on Motions. The malfunction was so bad, the higher-ups in the party, the so-called SOC, had to take time out to discuss what to do instead. Using the Zoom's features to vote was said to be secure by an IT person but even so it was not pursued as an alternative. After a lot of wasted time, the voting mechanism started to work.
Confidence in the chairs who managed the sessions was questioned multiple times. Each time someone raised a vote of no confidence, time was spent on speakers supportiung or rejectig the vote of no confidence in the chair, and then a vote by members was taken to keep or replace the chair. Each time, the votes cast were to retain the chair.
Other issues were raised by some of the members that were not part of the agenda but were discussed and so they used up more precious minutes, minutes that could have been spent making progress through the many agenda items that had to be completed before A105 was discussed.
A105 was number 12 on the priority list but a proposal to move it up the list was passed and it moved to position 3 on the list. That increased the chances of it being heard but time ran out.
One of the members said out loud what many probably thought: that the pro-Israelis in the session, were deliberately wasting time to scupper any chance of A105 being heard and a vote taken on it before the conference time ran out. The multiple votes of no confidence in the Chair; the other non-agenda queries and objections raised and discussed.
Today, the pro-Israelis were successful in their delay tactics. It's possible they also had a hand in the IT malfunction. Not voting on Motion A105 was a major blow to the many members (there were around 900 online) who had come to the conference or joined the party, as I had, primarily to vote on Motion A105.
It was my first time at a conference and it was an awful experience to witness such a major breakdown of something as basic and fundamental as being able to cast a vote and the time wasted trying to fix it and come up with an acceptable plan B. Had that IT issue not happened, I think there would have been enough time to hear Motion A105 and vote on it.
I'm not sure what happens now to Motion A105. Perhaps the earliest opportunity to vote on it will be at the next conference, presumably in 6 months' time. That might require going through the process of getting it listed on the Agenda and even if it is, there is a chance it won't be heard because of similar delaying tactics by the pro-Israelis or some other IT disaster that wastes precious time.
I thought of walking away from the party. I do not want to associate with such an incompetent group of people and rules that are counterproductive. On the other hand, I should see what is to become of Motion A105 and whether I should stay a member to get it passed. If it's abandoned, then I will probably leave.

Inhumane jews celebrate the death penalty for Palestinians
28 Mar 2026
The image is from a Double Down News video on the barbarity and inhumanity of the Israelis. The woman and her husbands, jews, are celebrating the introduction of the death penalty for Palestinians. She holds a noose and a lethal injection - both to murder Palestinians. She is the deputy speaker of the Israeli parliament. She exemplifies how depraved and inhumane Israeli society is.
The shocking video shows many scenes of Israeli barbarity towards Palestinians, and shatters the facade that the Israeli state is a democracy.

Brazen Israeli racism: white-ish racist Israelis deny darker skinned people in Israel access to Israeli bomb shelters
27 Mar 2026
Galloway posted a clip in which he exposes the brazen racsm of the white(-ish) Israelis denying shelter in bunkers because of their skin tone (darker). Galloway says:
"Not only were Palestinians, not only were Arabs refused access to the air raid shelters, Indian citizens were refused access. Black Israelis from Ethiopia were refused access. This racism that permeates, drives, fuels apartheid state has to be seen to be believed. I mean I was Graeme an underground participant in the freedom struggle in South Africa during aparthed and racism was of course abundant and everywhere and fundamental. But South African racism had nothing compared to Israeli racism even against different types of Jews."

Israelis attack Iran's steel sites - the third act of US-Israeli treachery
27 Mar 2026
I came across this live video by Davis on the war on Iran. It had breaking news of Israeli strikes on Iranian steel plants. Those strikes were unexpected because
a) Trump had allowed Iran 10 days to open Hormuz or else he'd bomb Iran's energy sites, yet within 24 hours, the Israelis launched a major bomb attack;
b) the expectation was bombs would hit energy sites but the Israelis hit steel plants.
Davis said the Israelis said POTUS was aware of the Israeli strikes on steel plants, but that is inconsistent with the time Trump gave the Iranians (ten days). It is therefore uncertain at this point that Trump knew of the Israelis' attack on steel sites or whether the Israelis are lying and attacked independently and without Trump's knowledge or agreement.
Davis says one probability for this attack is the Israelis attacked to keep the war going and to keep the US in the war - even though it does NOT serve the interests of the US but IS in the interests of Netanyahu not Israelis (I disagree and think the attack is in the interest of the Israelis not only Netanyahu, because so much of Israeli society supports Netanyahu and - as he is - they are genocidal and depraved).
Iran issued a warning immediately after the attack that gave people 4 hours to evacuate because Iran was about to retaliate. Iran listed the sites in the Gulf states and in Israel, that would be hit.
This latest Israeli strike underlines yet again that the Israelis and the Americans cannot be trusted at all. What they say and what they do are not the same. They lure their targets into a trap and strike unexpectedly. This is the THIRD time Iranians have been hit violently when a hit was not, reasonably, expected: twice during negotiations and now just 1 day into a ten-day period stated by Trump.
The video includes a clip of low-life Rubio whining that Iran is taking a toll in Hormuz and that toll is "illegal" and "unacceptable".
Davis was reluctant to call the US the "American empire" but admitted that he was not supposed to use that term "because we're supposed to be the good guys", then he almost immediately referred to the US as being "a global power"

FT.com - more FT biased reporting and more western hypocrisy and double-standards, and FT censorship
28 Mar 2026
I checked and noticed one of my 3 comments to the FT article on 27 Mar had been removed by the FT. I posted the same comment that had been removed, adding an extra bit that pointed out my comment had been removed for reasons unknown to me. I checked later in the day and noticed the comment I re-posted has also been removed. I posted version 3 today. I checked about 2 hours later and that too was removed. It is clear that FT is censoring my comments even though they are reasonable comments and NOT offensive. I tried again and posted version 4. I checked on 29 Mar and noticed FT had removed v4.

Lottaz interviewed Marandi. One point discussed was the idea that the US want the Gulf states to be destroyed by Iran because that would make US energy suppliers extremely wealthy because of their oil and gas monopoly. Perhaps that is why Trump is willing to sacrifice thousands of US soldiers.
He mentioned that of the Gulf states, UAE is the most supportive of the zionists.
He referred to the Epstein class who control western media and who censor the narrative: these western journos have not complained about the Twitter campaign to kidnap Marandi. Marandi said Twitter forced him to remove an image he posted on Twitter about Gazan children being murdered in Gaza, yet Twitter won't remove the kidnap campaign

Lebanon update - from the frontline
26 Mar 2026
Blevins interviewed a Lebanon resident who shared her personal experience. She described the Israelis as inhuman for their inhumanity:
"They're not worthy to be called humans [the Israelis or the zionists] because of the genocide that they have been inflicting upon the Palestinian people and the occupation of Syria, the the reoccupation of Lebanon, 15 months of bombing and killing Lebanese people while the resistance was abiding by the ceasefire. They never respect any ceasefire. They never respect any international law."
She ranked the order of Lebanese people being murdered (according to the Lebanese ministry of health) by the Israelis: paramedics, children, women, reporters, men. She replayed the calls from the Israelis to the Lebanese:" "We bombed right now, but if you go and help, we will bomb you." (said the Israelis) So, it was it it's it's terrorizing. It's traumatizing. It's it's inhumane." Soldiers were excluded.
She noted something else that is new in this war: "what's also new about it is that we're seeing reciprocation. We are seeing Zionist Israel paying uh the price this time with the Iranian ballistic missiles after they started a war"
She asked a very pertinent question to US parents: "Why are you sending your kids who have all the future all the bright future in front of them to be killed for a war for Netanyahu, for a war criminal?

Axis of Evil's censorship and media blackout; their misinformation; their use of human shields shows
26 Mar 2026
Haiphong published an update on the war on Iran. He mentioned the severe media blackout by the Israelis and the US media:
"censorship is at an all-time high here on YouTube. You can't even publish, that's why I didn't publish the video of the downing of the F-18. Um, I didn't publish any uh uh missile strikes or anything like that here because lately I have seen the suppression go up. There are uh more penalties being leveled upon videos showing these things and uh we see that you know Planet Labs has censored its satellite imagery. Even in articles like the one I showed you with the New York Times, they're not even publishing the imagery of this. It's very few and far between. Uh they publish old satellite imagery that has already been uh making the rounds for many weeks now, but new imagery of these attacks not coming out.
Uh Israeli and Gulf state media is playing their part and of course US media is playing their part to hide it.
Even though even Fox News and other uh in outlets, MSNBC, etc. on the ground in somewhere like Tel Aviv, they haven't been able to hide it. Sometimes the the missiles go off uh right behind them.
They're falling [the Israelis]. No air defense air defense interceptors are able to take them down."
Haiphong also exposed the misinformation by the US central command "not only have they denied the F-18 um uh being hit by Iranian air defenses, but they're also denying that any aircraft has been hit and forced to land downed as uh we should call it really,"
He described how the US are using Gulf states civilians as human shields because US personnel have retreated from US bases in these states to operate from hotels in Bahrain and UAE:
"the United States using these countries as human shields. I I mean they are uh uh forcing Iran now to target uh civilian areas when they uh you know abandon these bases and go into the uh you know commercial areas into these hotels in order to continue their operations." Haiphong says using human shields is a sign of US desperation. I think it is a reflection of US inhumanity. They dehumanise Gulf states civilians and so they have no qualms about making these civilians expendable.

FT.com - biased reporting by omission
26 Mar 2026
FT.com published a piece about the OECD's analysis of the war on Iran on economic growth and inflation. There was no mention of Iran, i.e., biased reporting. My comment was published. I later thought of an additional comment - why no mention of the impacty on the Israeli economy? That might be to shield it from negative publicity, i.e., biased reporting by what is not reported because to report it might expose show the dire state of the Israeli economy and its inflation.

Update 28 Mar 2026
I came across this 28 Mar 2026 video by Diesen in which Wilkerson said "Nothing is going up virtually [meaning Israeli missile interceptors] and everything is coming down [meaning Iranian missiles]. There is no air defense left in Israel." This is further confirmation that contradicts Israeli lies and lies by article writers, that the vast percentage of Iranian missiles are being blocked by Israeli interceptors

Zionism is Racism - Green Party motion A105 is being smeared by pro-Israeli lobby led by the rabid UKLFI
26 Mar 2026
I came across this video by Flintoff of a smear campaign by the pro-Israel lobby led by the rabid UKLFI to try and scupper Motion A105 on zionism (see post below for more information on this).
Here is a clip in which Feinstein says zionism is obviously racist. It is part of videos by Greens for Palestine (link). This link explains how to join the Green party and how to register for the conference.
The conference event for this Motion clashes with the march against the far right also on 28 March. I personally think this Motion passing is far more important and historic and significant to UK politics than attending this march.
I paid my fee and registered for the Conference. The online Motion A105 document can be seen here and here.

Here is a clip in which Feinstein says zionism is obviously racist. It is part of videos by Greens for Palestine (link). This link explains how to join the Green party and how to register for the conference.
The conference event for this Motion clashes with the march against the far right also on 28 March. I personally think this Motion passing is far more important and historic and significant to UK politics than attending this march.

The petrodollar revisited
This video by Iverson is a year old but relevant today given Iran's drive to replace the USD as the default currency for oil trades - an exorbitant privilege that has enabled the US to wage wars and spread its imperialism across the globe for decades.
Lebanese - Israel war
Galloway interviewed Rania Khalek on the war between Lebanon and the Israelis. She said of the war:
"over a thousand [Lebanese] killed...118 of them children. ...Israel has intentionally attacked medical facilities. 128 health facilities damaged or destroyed...[Israelis are] talking about occupying southern Lebanon up to the Latani River... [and] annexing southern Lebanon up to the Latani River and making the Latani River Israel's new northern border...[Israelis have dropped] leaflets threatened to turn Lebanon into Gaza. And you have the defense minister of Israel as well as its prime minister uh yesterday giving the orders to basically use the Gaza model in the border villages of the south and raise them to the ground so that Israel can occupy and nobody can return...They said they want to turn the south of Lebanon into what they've done in Gaza and the West Bank." She adds that the Israelis violated the ceasefire 15000 times and killed 370 Lebanese, so when Hezzbollah attacked Israel on 2 Mar "it was a retaliation for those ceasefire violations um that Israel had been engaging in for 15 months."
Galloway added: "I saw the mayor of Kuryat Shimona [an illegal settler town] literally crying on television uh this evening on screen anyway this evening uh and cursing Netanyahu for his failure to protect these uh these illegal settlers."
Galloway added: "They [Israelis] denied doing what we saw them doing in Gaza, but they're dropping leaflets in Lebanon, threatening to turn Lebanon into Gaza."

Rally outside UK sites that enable genocide of Palestinians by the Israelis
25 Mar 2026
I attended my first rally outside a company that enables genocide of Palestinians.
Palestine Solidarity Campaign said of these UK companies:
"Factories in towns and cities across Britain are producing components for weapons used by Israel, including bombs, armoured drones and fighter jets.
This weaponry is being used to perpetrate genocide in the Gaza Strip, and in Israel’s military invasions and ethnic cleansing across the West Bank. It is also being used in Israel’s wider assaults on Iran and Lebanon, which are causing immense devastation and suffering.
We must mobilise to oppose the arms companies that are making Israel’s atrocities possible. Join the protests next Wednesday 25 March at:
Through its substantial arms trade with Israel, Britain is an active participant in Israel’s genocide and apartheid against Palestinians. Join our protests at weapons factories next Wednesday as we demand that the government imposes a comprehensive arms embargo on Israel.

- Elbit Systems in Bristol. Elbit Systems is Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, it supplies the Israeli military with armoured drones, bombs and missiles.
- Attewell and CPI TMD Technologies in Hayes, London. Attewell produces components used in Israel’s fighter jets. CPI TMD Technologies has held 4 licenses to export arms to Israel since 2021.
- Rafael in Newcastle. Rafael is Israel’s state-owned weapons manufacturer. It produces missiles and drones for the Israeli military.
- Elbit Systems in Shenstone, Staffordshire.
- BAE Systems in Towcester, Northamptonshire. BAE Systems produces a variety of weapons used by the Israeli military, including components for its fighter jets."
Through its substantial arms trade with Israel, Britain is an active participant in Israel’s genocide and apartheid against Palestinians. Join our protests at weapons factories next Wednesday as we demand that the government imposes a comprehensive arms embargo on Israel.
I did not have time to attend the rally at Attewell, however I was early and the first to arrive at CPI TMD in Hayes. Fellow protestors arrived en masse and were vociferous and loud and very visible with their flags.
Police also turned up and were parked opposite CPI. No Israeli troublemakers were present. Speakers spoke, including an emotional speech by a person in support of the many Palestinians who have been disabled by US-Israeli Axis of Evil's bombs. Andrew Feinstein also spoke.
I later met Feinstein and asked him how can the world order change, including the right of veto given to select regimes, i.e., the US? I mentioned the Green Party's Motion A105 and the judicial review to remove IHRA in the NHS. Feinstein mentioned he had a video on the Motion. Here is a clip in which Feinstein says zionism is obviously racist. He mentioned a project about IHRA by a holocaust survivor (Kapos is his name, or similar) who frequently attends rallies and who spoke on the stage at one recently in Whitehall. Our meeting lasted only a minute or two. He shook my hand and went on his way.

Rally outside Ealing Council offices to condemn its complicity in genocide by the Israelis
24 Mar 2026
There was a rally outside Ealing Council's offices to condemn the council's complicity in genocide of Palestinians. That complicity comes from its investment in companies that enable genocide. That investment is not trivial but massive: £113 million.
My camera battery went flat so no selfies of me holding the placard with £112, 896, 000. I was there for a couple of hours in a chilly night but fortunately the rain that was threatening to fall did not.
The rally this evening was a larger than usual turnout of protestors and speakers and a lot of people passing by the rally took leaflets being handed out, and a lot of cars and motorcyclists tooted their horns in solidarity, as they passed by. The rally was on the Uxbridge Road which is a major artery and a lot of traffic saw my placard as I was on the kerb in full view of traffic passing in both directions.

The genocidal hatred of Israeli society, and their mindset to choose war, occupation, and apartheid
23 Mar 2026
Declassified interviewed this journalist. She described the deeply ingrained genocidal hatred among Israelis for Arabs and muslims. If ever there was any benefit of the doubt given to Israelis, her first-hand experience interviewing Israelis and hearing their genocidal, inhumane and depraved beliefs, will destroy that benefit of the doubt. No wonder that the holocaust survivor became an anti-zionist after visiting Israel.

26 Mar 2026
This interview on 26 Mar 2026 by Hedges of a Jew (Gideon Levy) reveals further insight into the mindset of Israelis - and it is disturbing. He also explains the mindset of the Israeli media. He also warns about a changing negative attitude after Trump of the US to Israel and how that will isolate Israel. He exposes self-censorship of Israelis,i.e., Israelis choose not to learn about what is happening in Gaza.
He also talks of the long history of Israelis murdering or maiming people, e.g., the hundreds murdered or maimed by pagers that exploded. murdering these targets "It is a source of pride" for Israelis. He said the majority of Israelis support wars, apartheid, and occupation and don't wish to change, so he is pessimistic for the future. He said the Israeli government was a "fascist" government. He said there is not the leadership nor is there the people, to stop this direction of Israeli society and government.

Iran's demands
23 Mar 2026
Crooke was interviewed by Napolitano and said Iran most senior leader had set out its demands: complete military and economic withdrawal of the US from the region; lifting of all sanctions within 60 days; full compensation for damage done to Iran. If not, then water and energy across the Gulf states will be destroyed IF the US follows through with his threat to knock out Iran's energy facilities.
He said Mossad miscalculated on the notion that taking out the leadership and bombing infrastructure would destabilise the country and trigger an uprising and regime change. It did not; it actually galvanised the Iranians. He also blamed the US administration for no fact-checking Mossad's claims about the expected success of the plan. The intelligence miscalsulation is of the order seen over the WMD mistake that led to the Iraq war.
The video [27:00 min] showed Netanyahu complaining about the Iranians targetting civilian buildings. This criticism, even if true, is from the murderer who has razed Gaza and murdered Palestinian women and children, and starved them to death. He also lied about the Iranians firing at a muslim religious site - which would be unthinkable.

Trump the liar, and Trump the bully backs down to Iran warning
23 Mar 2026
Haiphong gave an update on the war on Iran and mentioned how Trump the liar had backed off, almost instantly, after Iran had issued a robust response to his violent threat if Iran did not re-open Hormuz. Iran isued a list of all the facilities it would hit in retaliation if Trump went through with his threat.
In response, Trump backed off from his threat, but to save face, he lied about having 'productive conversations' with the Iranians. The Iranians rejected that lie by saying there were NO conversations (see their post). They said Trump backed-off after seeing what they were going to hit, adn it would be utter devastation. This further illustrates, that standing up to a bully pays dividends.
For so long, Trump and his warmongering allies have intimidated and waged wars on relatively small and weak targets: Venezuela, Syria, Iraq, Palestine, regions that cannot fight back. Iran is the first country to say we will fight you and they are amply demonstrating they are the equal to TWO (not one) enemy, and probably superior to their combined efforts. That is why Trump and Netanyahu are desperate and are rattled and Trump is in a corner.
The image below from someone says Trump needs to escalate the war in order to save face or to find a way out of his corner, but escalation to save face or a way out could be at a very high cost to the world.
According to Escobar, Trump chickened-out on his threat to bomb Iran's energy facilities, becuse he saw US bond market yields rise to the point where he was compelled to back off and give the Iranians five days to open Hormuz, because the US cannnot afford to pay 5%+ yields.

FT.com - where is Rowley's warning of Israeli false flag attacks, or Israeli attacks on muslims?
23 Mar 2026
Another FT article cited the Met's Rowley saying: "the UK faces a “long and sustained threat” from Iranian plots", but Rowley did not say these attacks could be Israeli false flags, especially given the Israelis are waging war on Iran. Nor did he say that there could be "plots" by Israelis or their allies on Iranians or Palestinians. The article did not allow comments. I sent an email to the FT criticising this decision.

FT.com - Israeli false flags or genuine hate attacks against Israelis?
Update 24 Mar 2026
This video critically analyses the claim that the attack was Iranian. The identity of the arsonists have not been confirnedm but that did not stop Farage pinning the balme in Iranians or their allies
23 Mar 2026
FT.com published a couple of articles on the hate crimes against Jews in the UK. One article was about an arson attack on property owned by a Jewish charity. It said "police have called [the attack] an antisemitic hate crime."
There was no mention in the article that the attack might have been an Israeli false flag to discredit the Iranians. That is a distinct possibility as the Israelis are waging war on Iran and the Israelis have a record of spreading propaganda and lies, and Israeli false flags and similar underhand tactics are nothing new:
There is precedent: the Lavon false flag (link). In the war on Iran, Iranian authorities dismissed missile attacks on the UK and US, purportedly fired by Iran, as an “Israeli false flag” attack, and "NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said the alliance could not confirm Israel’s claim that the projectiles used were Iranian intercontinental ballistic missiles." (ref).
It has been reported that the Israelis are prepared to let Israelis die (such as the hostages held by Hamas) to achieve their political goals.
The article added that "it was a “priority” for the [police] investigation to establish the “authenticity and accuracy” of online claims purportedly from an Iran-linked group to have been responsible for the attack."

FT.com - are UK energy companies profiteering from the war on Iran and the rise in oil and gas prices?
23 Mar 2026
FT.com published a piece about the cost of UK energy for consumers and the suggestion that UK energy companies are profiteering. My comment was sent to a moderator:
"A very alarmist and weak suggestion by Walker because he hasn't backed up his concern with real figures. Are UK energy suppliers even making a profit as a result of the US-Israeli war on Iran pushing up oil and gas prices? Is he confusing US energy producers (who are raking in excess profits) with those in the UK? Is his suggestion just opportunistic rhetoric, or to let consumers know he exists and is not asleep at the wheel?
I think the reality is the opposite to what Walker is saying or suggesting because the cost of buying these commodities for UK energy suppliers is higher now.
Also relevant to this discussion is how much of that rise in input cost is actually being absorbed by UK energy companies and how much is being passed on to consumers?
Ofgem must take the lead, do the analysis to determine who is actually profiteering, if anyone, and introduce safety nets to protect vulnerable suppliers and consumers from financial distress so they and the energy market in the UK continues to function.
Captured Starmer and Cooper must stop being complicit and instead pressure the US-Israeli Axis of Evil to end its wholly unjustified and illegal war on Iran, a war that is killing innocent civilians, destroying civilian infrastructure, and causing an energy and food crisis all around the world."

Bessent spews nonsensical propaganda to downplay oil price shock
22 Mar 2026
Listen to the propaganda (in this video at 01:43) spewed by Bessent when he talks of "unsanctioning" 140m barrels of Iranian oil apparently floating on the sea in oil tankers, to boost supply.
Bessent does not mention that the Iranian oil is already destined for China (mostly) so Bessent has no control over that Iranian oil, so his claim to "unsanction" that oil and thereby boost the supply of oil is irrelevant. It appears to me Bessent is spewing propaganda to try and downplay the impact of the shutting down of Hormuz on oil supplies and the price of oil. That shutdown was because of US-Israeli aggression on Iran.

Proof that Israelis reveal their racism by beating up coloured pro-Palestinian activists but sparing the white activists
22 Mar 2026
White Irishman, Tadhg Hickey, was an activist onboard a flotilla boat that went to Gaza and was subsequently kidnapped by the Israelis (along with other travellers). He revealed in this Flintoff video that the Israelis are racists, beating coloured activists but not white activists:
"the darker color your skin was the more likely you were to have actual physical violence. Like some of the darker colored comrades, shall we say, were given like beatings. H but I I wasn't."

Iran's retaliatiatory missile attack breaches air defence and hits Israeli nuclear facility in a major sign of Israel vulnerability
22 Mar 2026
This video by Haiphong exposed the disgusting Israeli propaganda that is twisting the truth. It is claiming the retaliatory strike by Iran against the Israelis' nuclear facility, was an attack on Israeli civilians. That is not true because the nuclear facility is a very secure and fortified area for militray and nuclear workers only. It is not a civilian area.
The strike on this nuclear facility demonstrates that Iran has proven ability to hit the Israelis' nuclear facilities AND it is able to penetrate Israeli air defences.
"The Stockholm International Institute for Peace Research concluded that in 2025, Israel possessed at least 80 nuclear warheads and they are being produced at that facility." [7:02]
Haiphong explained the immense significance of this retaliatory attack: that the Israelis' threat to fire nukes at Iran can be countered effectively by Iran's proven ability to hit the Israelis nuclear facilities. That means that Iran has the ability to inflict the same nuclear fallout as the Israelis will inflict on Iranians if they execute their so-called Samson option. Ths retaliatory attack on the Israelis' nuclear site by Iran is therefore a massive deterrance to the Israelis - It shows Israelis cannot fire a nuke and then scurry off and hide under a shield. There is no shield.
Haiphong highlighted the time pressure the Axis of Evil is facing and that is driving Trump to desperate measures - having threatened and attacked, Iran's oil, he is now threatening to hit its energy (electricity). facilities. Haiphong noted that sanctions have made Iran independent and its electricity grid and management is decentralised so resilient to attack. Sanctions have made the Iranians resilient and so able to withstand and recover from, Axis of Evil attacks on infrastructure - attacks on infrastructure are war crimes.
Haiphong also noted another act of increasing desperation - US jets are getting closer to Iran (because the US's stand-off missiles are running low or are depleted) and are within striking range and they are being picked off by Iranian air defence, another piece of evidence that Trump is lying when when he says Iran has no air defence.
Haiphong cited comments by WSJ that missiles have been fired from Bahrain and Qatar.
"It is the United States. It is Israel that continue to cross red lines" said Haiphong.
Haiphong also noted that the US energy companies will rake in money (from higher energy prices) but that is a short-term gain and long-term they will suffer because of the long-term adverse effects on energy markets and economies worldwide.
Haiphong listed the demands Iran will demand to end this war: the removal of US presence from the region. If that happens, Haiphong predicts Israel won't survive because it relies on the US for military support.
Haiphong mentioned Iranians queuing up to enlist in the army - a sight that is not evident in the US.

Haiphong also noted another act of increasing desperation - US jets are getting closer to Iran (because the US's stand-off missiles are running low or are depleted) and are within striking range and they are being picked off by Iranian air defence, another piece of evidence that Trump is lying when when he says Iran has no air defence.
Haiphong cited comments by WSJ that missiles have been fired from Bahrain and Qatar.
"It is the United States. It is Israel that continue to cross red lines" said Haiphong.
Haiphong also noted that the US energy companies will rake in money (from higher energy prices) but that is a short-term gain and long-term they will suffer because of the long-term adverse effects on energy markets and economies worldwide.
Haiphong listed the demands Iran will demand to end this war: the removal of US presence from the region. If that happens, Haiphong predicts Israel won't survive because it relies on the US for military support.
Haiphong mentioned Iranians queuing up to enlist in the army - a sight that is not evident in the US.
US-Israeli Axis of Evil escalates its war on Iran and G7 show their brazen bias
22 Mar 2026
Diesen interviewed Marandi. Marandi looks tired and has baggy eyes. Clearly he is spending a lot of hours giving interviews to many journalists, reading and weatching media reports across the globe, is probably also getting feedback from government sources and insiders to keep him up-to-date with at least the sentiments of the Iranians coordinating this war.
The talking points included a major concern over the significant escalation by the Axis of Evil - they've hit Iran's energy production (South Pars). Iran retaliated by hitting Qatar's gas facilities. Next, the Israelis attacked Iran's nuclear power plants at Busheran Natans and Iran retaliated by attacking the city of Deona where the Israelis have their own nuclear plants. Now, Trump's made a threat to open Hormuz within 48 hours or he'll attack Iran's energy facilities. Marandi said, if that happens, Iran will attack Gulf states' energy and desalination facilities. The Gulf states rely heavily on desalination for their water so knocking those out would spell the end of these Gulf states.
Marandi said of the Gulf states "They [Gulf states] do everything necessary to kill Iranians [including hosting US bases, allowing the refuelling of US aircraft, allowing US planes to fly over their air space]. So they are fully complicit"
There was a lot of discussion over the erratic behaviour and madness of Trump and an emphasis that even if he were replaced, Iran would not accept a ceasefire until its demands were met, incoluding reparations for the loss to Iranians by the war on Iran.
There was also discussion of the major energy and food crises if this war escalates. Marandi mentioned the arrogance of the west for not grasping the severity of what is unfolding. Diesen mentioned the appalling one-sided response of the G7 - they condemned the retaliation by Iran but not the aggression of the Axis of Evil or the support the Gulf states are giving to the Axis of Evil.
The G7 joint statement on 21 Mar 2026 s reproduced below. It is a shocking one-sided account of reality. Not a word condemning the Axis of Evil for its wholly unjustified and illegal attacks on Iran. Not a word calling on the Axis of Evil to immediately stop its bombing of Iranian infrastructure and murder of civilians. Not a word of ongoing and incremental escalation by the Axis of Evil of its war on Iran.
"We, the G7 Foreign Ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, and the High Representative of the European Union, express support to our partners in the region in the face of the unjustifiable attacks by the Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxies.
We condemn in the strongest terms the regime’s reckless attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure, including energy infrastructure, in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and Iraq, in line with UNSC Resolution 2817. The Iranian regime’s unjustifiable attacks against these states also threaten regional and global security. We call for the immediate and unconditional cessation of all attacks by the Iranian regime. We reaffirm the importance of safeguarding maritime routes, and safety of navigation, including in the Strait of Hormuz and all associated critical waterways, as well as the safety and security of supply chains and the stability of energy markets. We stand ready to take necessary measures to support global supply of energy such as the stockpile release decided by International Energy Agency members on March 11.
The G7 has repeatedly stated that Iran must never obtain a nuclear weapon and that it must halt its ballistic missile program, end its destabilizing activities in the region and around the globe, and cease the appalling violence and repression against its own people.
We support the right of the countries unjustifiably attacked by Iran or by Iranian proxies to defend their territories and protect their citizens. We reaffirm our unwavering support for their security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.
We condemn the brazen attacks in Iraq by Iran and its militias against diplomatic facilities and energy infrastructure, particularly in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, and against U.S. and Counter ISIS Coalition forces, and the Iraqi people."

FT.com - US companies rake in money from US war on Iran
22 Mar 2026
FT.com published a piece showing that the US companies are making money off the war on Iran which adds insult to injury.
My comment on that and about a change to the world order was published, for now. Being a weekend, perhaps comments are not being monitored or blocked if the moderators are not at work.

FT.com continues to block any comments to its articles so controls and protects its narrative
22 Mar 2026
FT.com published a piece titled "Middle East war live: Trump sets 48-hour deadline for Iran to open Strait of Hormuz." with a sub-title of "US president threatens to ‘obliterate’ Iran’s power plants if waterway is not opened for shipping" It did not allow comments. I wrote an email to the FT criticising the blocking of comments (see image below).
Trump or his writers, like to use the word "obliterate" or its variations. His threats are not worth serious consideration because he has shown he is a liar and a treacherous, murdering warmonger who is a poodle of an even more murderous and depraved war criminal, Netanyahu.
The vast majority of the article, including images, was reporting from the perspective of the Israelis, the US, and their allies - Qatar, Saudi, and Emirates. It was also notable that Trump claimed on Friday 20 Mar that "he was considering “winding down” the American campaign against Iran", yet the Israelis said the war was at its "halfway point".

Danger of collapse of world order if the warmongering Axis of Evil is not stopped
21 Mar 2026
Haiphong interviewed Marandi. This time, Marandi ended by saying many people want Trump to push the global system to collapse because it has been established to serve the interests of the west and is therefore rigged and corrupt, so they say they want to let Trump collapse it. "everything's in this the hands of the eps clan" the transcript said - meaning the world system is under the control of the Epstein class.
Marandi questioned why is Trump behaving as he is? Marandi had no idea but perhaps he is being influenced by Khushner,. perhaps the Israelis have something on him.
Marandi added "There is no reason whatsoever for the United States to be antagonistic towards Iran or Russia. There there's no reason whatsoever. There's no logical reason...it is the Zionist lobby, the Zionist regime [the cause of the US's antagonism]." Marandi repeated the words of Huckabee, who said it's fine, from a US perspective, if the Israelis take the whole (west asia) region. "That is unofficial unofficial US policy. That is the policy of the west. The unofficial policy." said Marandi.
"The US ambassador to the Israeli regime [Huckabee] is not looking for the not looking out for the interest of the United States. He's an enemy of the United States. He's a traitor to the United States. He's an asset for the Israeli regime." said Marandi

Susan Abulhawa's full speech to the Oxford Union “This House Believes Israel is an apartheid state responsible for genocide,”
20 Mar 2026
I came across this story (published by Middle East Eye) of the Oxford Union censoring a speech to the Union by Susan Abulhawa.
"I care a lot about preserving the historic audit of what actually did happen, and what was actually said. The Oxford Union is a platform for debate. They are not, and cannot be the arbiters of acceptable public discourse.", she said of the editing of her speech to the Union.
That MEE story was published in Oct 2025, and after searching the MEE website, I have not seen any update on whether the full speech has been published now or not by the Union.
I came across this link with details of the censoring and her full speech. That page contained this link to a video that shows Abulhawa giving her FULL speech at the Union.
Her motion that "This House Believes Israel is an apartheid state responsible for genocide,”" resulted in 278 votes for it and 59 votes against it.
"In the censored sections of the speech, heard by MEE, Abulhawa discussed the Israeli military's documented use of booby-trapped toys and systematic rape in Israeli prisons." said MEE.
An extract of her speech about booby-trapped toys, is reproduced in the image below.

New book published: Every Moment Is a Life: Gaza in the Time of Genocide
20 Mar 2026
I came across a video of Susan Abulhawa who is the subject of controversy over her remarks.
The video had a link to a post that I thought would explain, or provide context to, her remarks. The link was actually a short video (4 mins) of her introducing a book that is a "bilingual anthology of essays from eighteen young Palestinian writers trying to survive the genocide in Gaza."
A review of the book can be found here. All proceeds go to the contributors in Gaza and to Palestine Writes Literature Festival

An Iranian resident destroys false western propaganda and narratives about Iran and Iranians
20 Mar 2026
Electronic Intafada posted a video of an interview with an Iranian woman and academic who gives her first-hand account of life in Iran during the US-Israeli Axis of Evil's war on Iran. She corrects the false western narratives and perceptions of Iranians and the Iranian government. Some of her comments are reproduced below:
1,300 people killed, more than 200 children and 226 women. 18 attacks on health care facilities in Iran.
A main slogan of the Iranians is "no compromise, no negotiations"
"we're seeing people who did take part in the protests in January taking to the streets to support their government's retaliation uh and demanding uh revenge."
"we have tried the path of diplomacy several times and we were targeted during negotiations."
"more than 98% of the population voted yes to the Islamic Republic, we started establishing a model probably for the first time in the region against the imperialist powers."
"because they have failed in doing [sanctions] so despite all the sanctions and aggression now they what they are trying to do is forming this narrative of demonizing an entire nation and dehumanizing us in order to justify even more aggression and a war"
"Iran sets a very very dangerous example for the entire world because we're telling the entire world that it is possible for a nation to stand against imperialism even if they put sanctions on you even if they
isolate you."
"now with alternative media and social media even though they're manipulating the algorithms and everything the the truth is coming out. You're seeing that a lot of people in the world are cheering on
Iranian missiles hitting Tel Aviv and other occupied territories because they know who is the other side that Iran is fighting."
"they [the west] use these cultural differences because it makes it very easy to otherize an entire nation."
"they are trying to say that it was the 1979 revolution that brought that forced Islam on this population when in fact we have been Muslim for more than a thousand years. Nobody impose Islam on us."
"they want you to think that there's no legitimacy in the government that has been actually elected by these people."
"the last thing that they have resorted to is this war that we're seeing which we see as an existential war but for the US it's a war of choice and they're the they're taking uh their last uh chances at bringing down the Islamic Republic of Iran as a nation and to balconize the country and create perpetual chaos in the region so that they can loot our resources. "
"they will do everything to brainwash the people of the world to justify that. But it's I think even that that narrative is falling apart and it's becoming more clear to the world that it's it's not about an Islamic regime or sponsoring terrorism. It's about two terrorist states uh attacking an independent nation because it dared resist imperialism."
The video also showed clips of people on the streets waving flags and showing solidarity.

Trump the low-life liar
20 Mar 2026
Trump is a known and incorrigible liar, but he is also cunning. He now says the US-Israeli Axis of Evil can stop this war immediately, but the Axis will continue the war in order to prevent the Iranians from rebuilding (link).
Dialogue Works interviewed Celente and he gave many examples of Trump's lies and exposed his appalling utterances that would be grounds for dismissal or censure yet he gets away with it because of sycophants and a compliant system that enables him to continue with impunity. That system is run by the Epstein class and funded by the pro-Israelis.
Celente also mentioned a scumbag called Eisman who shockingly posted a comment celebrating the screams of burning Gazans (see image below).
Celente was unapologetic of the Trump regime and its war on Iran.

Israeli propaganda is extreme
20 Mar 2026
This Diesen interview of Crooke shows the Israelis are abject propagandists and to the point Israelis don't know the true extent of the damage caused by Iran's missiles. Merely recording on film the missiles hitting or the destruction, can result in a 5-year jail term.
What is shown is regime-controlled PR reports that show very minor damage or injury. In other words, the Israeli regime is controlling the narrative even in their own region. It is the same approach they have used in Gaza - except in Gaza they have murdered hundreds of Palestinian journalists to prevent the truth from getting out. They failed because the world has seen what the Israelis have done and are doing.

Iran leads the drive to destroy US dollar's exorbitant privilege and gives the US a taste of its own economic warfare
20 Mar 2026
I came across a new channel Geopolitical Economy Report - that is anti-imperial and against the aggression of the US and the Israelis. Its video looked at the risk to USD remaining the default currency for oil trade.
I've been looking at the currency effects of the war on Iran, i.e., the impact on the petrodollar and the economic warfare the US has waged for decades on countries by forcing countries to use USD as the global reserve currency and as the currency of exchange for oil trades (petrodollars).
Iran has said ships may pass through Hormuz if they pay for oil in Yuan not in USD, a direct challenge to the petrodollar.
The USD became the petrodollar because of the Saudis. In exchange for committing to trade only in USD (petrodollars), the Saudis received USD military protection. OPEC followed suit and so did all other countries, and so the stage was set for US to be able to print money, run budget deficits, and spend $trillions of money handed to them by these oil exporters, on expanding US influence - economically and militarily, across the globe. It now has 800 military bases across the world.
While the US claim their bases are for protection of the host country, they also serve to be points of attack BY THE US of that host if the host dares to become an enemy of the US.
The exchange (USD for protection) has been seen to be a fake deal for US Gulf states - their US bases have been destroyed by Iran retaliation and the US has NOT come to their rescue. The US has in fact retreated militarily and US soldiers have scurried off from the US bases and taken shelter in civilian hotels - talk about using human shields.
Reports say the host nations did not have the expertise or skills to even operate the equipment they bought off US companies with hundreds of $billions. The agreement has been shown to be a massive US financial fraud.
The exorbitant privilege allows the US to run massive current account deficits, unlike other countries that have deficits. This means the US can continue to run a deficit because its currency is the global reserve cirrency - everyone uses it so the USD does not depreciate and so US inflation does not rise and so US interest rates do not rise. This is how the US benefits from being the reserve currency - a position the US has maintained by economic (sanctions) and military warfare, for decades.
The theory is that if more oil is traded in currencies other than USD (the Yuan), then the USD will be less valuable (less demand for it). That will mean more USD to pay for the same goods imported by US consumers, so US inflation will rise. Rising inflation is often suppressed by the government raising interest rates, which can lead to less spending by consumers, less borrowing by consumers for spending. If that leads to a recession, then it could mean political change. Clearly, Trump wants to stay in power so wants USD to remain the ONLY currency for trading oil. He threatened 100% tariffs on BRICS countries that dared to shift away from trading in other than the USD.
Iran has been a leading force for de-dollarisation, for a decade at least.

A video by Haiphong of Alizadeh on the strategy of Iran and the involvement of the Gulf states, and the many lies by Trump in this war. The interviewee also mentioned the handful of people who decided to wage war on Iran, Witkoff, Khushner, Rubio, and Vance.
He says "I witnessed how three or four million Iranians migrated out of Iran on because of sanctions." This vindicates my claim that "we are here because you were there" i.e., people have left their countries for economic reasons and to escape western sanctions on them - a claim Wolf rejected.

US bases in Gulf states are being used to fire missiles at Iran
19 Mar 2026
This MSN article confirms that US bases in the Gulf states were used to fire missiles at Iran, justifying the retaliation by Iran against these strikes in the form of missiles being fired by Iran at these Gulf states. The missiles fired from Gulf states at Iran were fired early on in the war on Iran.
None of the Gulf states denied nor confirmed their territory was used for these missile launches, and the US also were tight-lipped on the location. A Bahrain spokesman tellingly said “Bahrain’s armed forces have not conducted strikes against Iran,”, but he did not say the same of US soldiers.
"Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused the U.S. on Saturday of using Himars to fire missiles at Kharg Island from the United Arab Emirates."

a) Iran is not running out of missiles or drones
b) Iran is not running out of its capability to manufacture these
c) murdering the leader has not resulted in regime change

Celebrating and recognising the courage and achievements of Fatema Zainab Rajwani
19 Mar 2026
I came across this video by Flintoff of a meeting (its location had to be kept secret until the last moment because of the repressive environment) to celebrate the achievements and courage of Fatema Zainab Rajwani. Lowkey said she will be remembered for her contribution - exposing the manufacture of drones on British soil - that lured Gazans onto the streets in response to cries of children, only to be murdered by bullets from overhead drones. The cries the Gazans heard were false recordings emanating from these drones.
Her case is an illustration of the shameful and repressive legal and law enforcement regime in the UK. Rajwani was incarcerated for hundreds of days, in extremely harsh conditions, denied bail and yet she was never convicted of a crime.

FT.com - incomplete reporting by FT of the effect of attacks on oil facilities, another example of misinformation by omission
19 Mar 2026
FT.com published a piece on the effect on financial market prices of the retaliatory attack by Iran on an oil facility (or perhaps multiple facilities). I could not find a single article by the FT of the effect on market prices (e.g., Stoxx600) when the Israelis struck South pars yesterday and so I posted a comment about this incomplete and one-sided reporting of only the impacty of Iran's attack today. My comment was referred to a moderator, and is reproduced below:
"The declines came after Iran struck Qatar’s Ras Laffan gas complex" and "Bonds and equity markets tumbled on Thursday"
Looking at the Stoxx600, the declines started on 18 Mar - the day the Israelis struck the South Pars oil facility, which set off a major escalation in this war on Iran (see image below). Falls have continued on 19 Mar when Iran retaliated.
I think it is unfair and incomplete to mention only today's falls and not mention falls that began yesterday. I also think the Israeli bombing of South Pars yesterday should be mentioned in addition to Iran's retaliatory bombing today of the Ras Laffan facility, to get a fairer and complete understanding of the effects of these attacks."

Netanyahu "bullied"Trump into the war on Iran
18 Mar 2026
Zeteo interviewed this American from the Obama period who said Netanyahu "bullied" Trump into the war on Iran, i.e., there was no reason for the USA to attack Iran without the Israelis wanting to attack.
The video also mentioned a guy (Joel Rubin) who said anyone saying this war on Iran was Israel's war is "antisemitic".
First, it is not antisemitic when referring to "Israelis" or "Israel". Second, it is widely believed that the Israelis DID goad Trump into attacking Iran, which Netanyahu has been scheming and hoping to do for 40 years - he has said as much in his own words. Trump is the first president who caved-in to Netanyahu's goading of a president to attack Iran.
The presenter mentioned a poll that showed 50% of Americans think Trump went to war on Iran for Netanyahu not for Americans. This FT article on 19 Mar said: "An Ipsos poll this month found only 29 per cent of Americans approved of the US strikes in Iran and 43 per cent disapproved."

A huge sigh of relief to see the FT change its stance in its reporting on the South Pars attack, and on this war on Iran, albeit extremely late in the day. The FT now:
a) names and shames the Israelis for attacking the South Pars facility;
b) names and shames the US-Israeli Axis of Evil for pursuing war against Iran;
c) attributes the energy shock to the Axis of Evil."

Pro-Palestinian German activist, Huseyin Dogru, has been sanctioned by German and EU authorities on fake claims he's supporting the Russians
17 Mar 2026
I stumbled across the sad case of this German citizen and activist, Huseyin Dogru - he was mentioned by Yanis Varoufakis on a Chris Hedges interview).
He has been sanctioned by the EU and as a consequence his life has been thrown into turmoil. His crime? He had the decency and humanity to report on the plight of the Palestinians. Anyone who supports Palestinians is a target for the ultra-pro-Israelis German authorities and the pro-Israelis.
"Germany has faced international condemnation from UN experts for its handling of pro-Palestine activism, including bans on demonstrations and criminal probes." (ref).
It appears as though the Germans have used the EU to do their dirty work, so Dogru cannot even go to a German court to defend himself and end his vilification by the EU and German authorities.
Dogru is accused by the EU of:
"The EU rationale links these actions to Russian interests: By amplifying narratives critical of Western policies (e.g., support for Israel or repression of protests), Doğru is said to indirectly aid Moscow’s efforts to sow division in Europe." For the EU to say pro-Palestinian activism is pro-Russian activism, is absurd and wholly irrational and it is therefore unjust.
Read this piece for a clearer analysis of the injustice of this sanction.

Dogru is accused by the EU of:

- Indirectly supporting and facilitating violent demonstrations, specifically by providing exclusive media access to anti-Israel protesters during the Humboldt University occupation, where acts of vandalism and Hamas symbols were allegedly displayed.
- Engaging in coordinated information manipulation that undermines stability and security in EU member states, particularly Germany.

US Intelligence expert's resignation exposes the truth - the Israelis triggered the war on Iran, and on Iraq
17 Mar 2026
Haiphong interviewed Marandi on the war on Iran and showed Kent's resignation letter. Kent was a senior US Intelligence official, so he knows what is going on behind the scenes. He resigned in protest at the war on Iran.
Read the extracts below of Kent's resignation letter. It shows the Israelis were the ones who brought about the war on Iran, AND on Iraq. He says there was NO threat to the US from Iran, completely contradicting the claims of not only the Israelis but also of Witkoff - the staunch pro-Israeli.
This resignation from an insider directly involved in military intelligenced (not some hothead) is damning evidence of the connivance of the Israelis. It also exposes the Israelis' role in the tragic war on Iraq that led to the deaths of a million Iraqis.
Anyone with a shred of morality and respect for humanity will see the majority of Israeli society - that section who support genocide and other inhumane acts - are inhumane and depraved.
Marandi mentioned that Al Jazeera is a mouthpiece of the US. I had thought they were an independent media operation, so Mirandi's comments are a revelation. I had my doubts about Al Jazeera because of its impartial coverage of the Sikh MP incarcerated by the Indian government.

The inhumane Israelis - a Frankenstein monster created by the British and kept alive by the evil Americans
17 Mar 2026
Novara Media interviewed Annelle Sheline on her views on the war on Iran. Some of her, and of Novara Media presenter's, views are shown below:
"I don't want to attribute everything to Netanyahu because the Israeli public has been, the vast majority, have been fully in support of of Israel's genocide in Gaza. They support attacking Iran. I mean, this is this is not. Some people try to argue that it's really all Netanyahu's fault and um it is it is shocking the radicalization of Israeli society and the the violence that they actively celebrate um including things like the the rape of detainees on camera. I mean, it's it is um really disturbing um what Israeli society believes is in their interest." Annelle Sheline
She believes the narrative being aired in the media - that the Saudis are egging Trump on to bomb Iran - is actually fake news and a cunning ploy of the Israelis. Why? Sheline says the Israelis are trying to redirect missiles attacking Israel towards the Saudis, especially as the Israelis are running out of interceptor missiles. The presenter added that the fake news would deflect blame for the war on Iran away from the Israelis if the Saudis were blamed for starting it - because they egged and goaded Trump to do it.
The presenter made an interesting observation: there is a lot of media coverage about Trump pleading with his allies to come to the rescue in his war on Iran and help open Hormuz, but in reality he (Americans) is not doing anything himself to open up the Hormuz. Where are the US military ships or airforce to escort oil tankers? It is all a red herring, he said.
Disturbingly, she mentioned there was discussion of the US nuking Iran out of spite to cripple Iran so much that neither side could say they won, i.e., the US would nuke Iran after realising that the US had lost and out of spite, the US would cripple Iran so badly with nukes that Iran could not claim it won.
She noted that the Israelis have yet to pay a cost of their extreme aggression across so much of West Asia, so to stop the cycle of violence, she said the US must stop supporting the Israelis and "Israel needs to understand that if they just behave like a normal country, the region would be a lot more secure and a lot more peaceful. But if they keep engaging in these acts of aggression in addition to this this insane idea of like greater Israel of like further expanding their territory, they're only going to continue to reap retaliation, violence, and instability."
Sheline tried to explain Netanyahu's motive. She said that like Trump, he was trying to keep out of jail and to attack first plays to Israeli society's wishes and it keeps him in power and so out of jail.
This interview reinforces the view that the US-Israeli Axis of Evil truly is evil - the US has no morality and is willing to cripple Iran out of spite and use nukes. The vast majority of Israeli society is depraved - not only Netanyahu - they celebrate their inhumane acts on others, and they attack anyone who dares to show strength. They can only do so because the US keeps providing the Israelis with military and financial support. The US is therefore to blame in addition to the monster it keeps alive, called Israel - a Frankenstein monster created by the British.

FT.com - was making money the unspoken reason for the US-Israeli Axis of Evil's war on Iran?
16 Mar 2026
FT.com published a piece on the closure of Hormuz and the money being made by the Iranians. My comment was referred to a moderator:
"Bessent, and the FT, cunningly fail to mention the $billions that will be earned by US energy companies if the oil price remains elevated thanks to the US-Israeli Axis of Evil attacking Iran.
One might reasonably say making money for US companies (and for Trump too) from oil was - all along - the unspoken reason for the Axis of Evil waging war on Iran.
It has has been known for decades that Iran could close Hormuz, so the Axis of Evil gave the Iranians a reason to do it - bomb Iran. The fake justification for the war on Iran - nuclear bombs - allowed Netanyahu to do what he has been scheming to do for 40 years.“

FT.com - I republished my comment on international law
16 Mar 2026
FT.com had published then removed my comment to the article on 14 Mar by MacMillan about international law (see 14 March post below).
Today, I posted a revised comment to that article. It was published, but it might too be removed (still published after 12 minutes; whoopee!). It repeated much of what I said originally (but not everything) and in less offended tone, and I added a quote by Albanese. I also added that the removal of my comment was censorship.
Update 19 Mar 2026: my revised comment has been removed. I don't know when, but probably within a day of posting. MacMillan did not reply to my email sent to her on 14th Mar.

Protest rally in support of Palestinians and Iranians, at Albert Embankment, central London 15 March 2026
15 Mar 2026
I attended this rally in central London today. It was supposed to begin at the Home Office in Marsham St, but when I arrived at 1:30pm no one was to be seen except lots of police. I wasn't sure where the protestors were - perhaps they had already moved on. I waited around. It was not a pleasant atmosphere with no one around except groups of police and they were looking at me wherever I moved. The last one I noticed looking at me made me feel unpleasant and intimidated so I decided to move on from the corner of the road I had been standing on, minding my own business. I noticed police in the distance and decided to head in that direction and check it out - perhaps I'd find protestors.
When I got there, the area (I later realised it was Millbank at Lambeth Bridge) was cordoned off and in the distance I saw flags including that of the Israelis among the flag of Iran. Definitely not the crowd I was looking for.
Over the bridge(Lambeth Bridge) on the other bank of the Thames, I saw flags and headed towards them. Lambeth Bridge was completely closed off so I had to take a long walk not knowing where I was heading but hoping to find a bridge so I could cross to the other side of the Thames.
I recall walking past the backend of the Tate. On the way, I saw people walking with Iranian flags draped over their backs, and I saw one guy carrying a large frame with an Israeli flag in it. I felt unpleasant and continued on my way. After a while I came to Bessborough Gardens and found a bridge to cross. I later learned that it was Vauxhall Bridge. Fortunately, it was not closed-off.
After a long and unpleasant time, I finally arrived at the rally and the protestors, and a sea of flags and many placards. As usual, I began taking photos (see below). I was pleasantly surprised when an old acquaintance tapped me on the shoulder as I was preparing to take a selfie. I knew him from pro-Palestinian gatherings in Ealing. I had not seen him for a long while. He was OK, he said, and had been in Libya. We exchanged pleasantries and he went on his way, carrying his flag, as usual.
I had wormed my way through the crowd to the speakers' platform and listened to them. I noticed someone being accosted by police - I guess arrested, and some people rushing in that direction to capture on film and perhaps to provide legal or moral support. I moved over to see but did not see what had happened. I later learned from videos online of the event that some arrests had been made. I do think pro-Palestinian supporters get a raw deal at the hands of the government and the police when they try to express their right of free speech.
The rally had not been allowed to march and perhaps it had to be relocated at the last minute after police pressure - the leaflet I had said gather at Marsham Street (Home Office). The decision to prevent a march was because of the war on Iran, but that is a perfect reason TO MARCH.
The turnout was not a large number, but many people did attend amd some had come in coaches and I think from Scotland, so a great effort was made and there were lots of speakers and flags and lots of noise. The numbers of police was far too many but perhaps they had to plan for worse outcomes.

I recall walking past the backend of the Tate. On the way, I saw people walking with Iranian flags draped over their backs, and I saw one guy carrying a large frame with an Israeli flag in it. I felt unpleasant and continued on my way. After a while I came to Bessborough Gardens and found a bridge to cross. I later learned that it was Vauxhall Bridge. Fortunately, it was not closed-off.
After a long and unpleasant time, I finally arrived at the rally and the protestors, and a sea of flags and many placards. As usual, I began taking photos (see below). I was pleasantly surprised when an old acquaintance tapped me on the shoulder as I was preparing to take a selfie. I knew him from pro-Palestinian gatherings in Ealing. I had not seen him for a long while. He was OK, he said, and had been in Libya. We exchanged pleasantries and he went on his way, carrying his flag, as usual.
I had wormed my way through the crowd to the speakers' platform and listened to them. I noticed someone being accosted by police - I guess arrested, and some people rushing in that direction to capture on film and perhaps to provide legal or moral support. I moved over to see but did not see what had happened. I later learned from videos online of the event that some arrests had been made. I do think pro-Palestinian supporters get a raw deal at the hands of the government and the police when they try to express their right of free speech.
The rally had not been allowed to march and perhaps it had to be relocated at the last minute after police pressure - the leaflet I had said gather at Marsham Street (Home Office). The decision to prevent a march was because of the war on Iran, but that is a perfect reason TO MARCH.
The turnout was not a large number, but many people did attend amd some had come in coaches and I think from Scotland, so a great effort was made and there were lots of speakers and flags and lots of noise. The numbers of police was far too many but perhaps they had to plan for worse outcomes.
Hegseth has no moral compass nor humanity when it comes to engaging in war
15 Mar 2026
A true and damning assessment by Schatz of Hegseth's contempt for the rules of war It is a useful account of the many crass statements he has made that reveal he is not fit for purpose, if purpose is to uphold the Geneva Convention and honour.
"THIS WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE A FAIR FIGHT, AND IT IS NOT A FAIR FIGHT.
WE'RE PUNCHING THEM WHILE THEY AR DOWN, WHICH IS EXACTLY HOW IT SHOULD BE.
THEY ARE TOAST, AND THEY KNOW IT, OR AT LEAST SOON ENOUGH THEY WILL KNOW IT AMERICA IS WINNING DECISIVELY, DEVASTATINGLY, AND WITHOUT MERCY.
[THE US IS WAGING WAR] ALL ON OUR TERMS, WITH MAXIMU[M AUTHORITIES, NO STUPID RULES OF ENGAGEMENT, NO POLITICALLY CORRECT WARS.
WE'RE GOING TO GO ON OFFENSE, NOT JUST ON DEFENSE. MAXIMUM LETHALITY, NOT TEPID LEGALITY. VIOLENT EFFECT, NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT. WE'RE GOING TO RAISE UP WARRIORS, NOT JUST DEFENDERS.
Hegseth finds the Geneva Convention and rules of engagement not just logically ionconvenient, "stupid"

Western double standards exposed by Mirandi in interview with Fogarty of LBC
15 Mar 2026
Disgusting proof of western double standards on who or what is a terrorist organisation according to the west.
This LBC interviewer (Fogarty) referred to Hizballah (H) as partly a terrorist organisation, yet according to the UK government, ALL of H is a terrorist organisation (link). Note how Fogarty justifies that terrorist tag because H attacks Israel, yet there is not terrorist tag given by the British to the Israelis when Israelis commit genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, or when they attack Lebanon.
The interview also revealed the lies spread by the western media because when Marandi asked for names, i.e., real proof, Fogarty had no response, i.e., she was just repeating propaganda.

Trump the liar is humiliated by calling for help to get the oil flowing
15 Mar 2026
Trump keeps on providing more evidence he is an incorrigible liar. Blevins published a post by Trump in which he bragged of having destroyed 100% of Iran's military capability and that Iran has been "decapitated". The reality is far different: it is abundantly clear to anyone who looks that Iran is continuing to launch missiles, so it still has military force and is still deploying it. It is also clear that Iran has new leadership so it has not been "totally decapitated".
Trump's lies could be a desperate attempt to sway public opinion towards him and to hide the reality which is he is losing his war on Iran. As they say, the first casualty of war is the truth. The Israelis too are trying to conceal the truth by a media blackout and threats of jail time for publishing images of damage inflicted on Israel by Iranian missiles.
The other post from Trump is a thinly-veiled plea to friendly states that he needs help to get the oil flowing again through Hormuz. Just days ago he was dismissing ther UK warship on its way to Iran saying it is too late. Now he is openly speaking of a "team effort". Note how Trump trivialises the risk of Iranian missiles firing at ships that attempt to get oil through.

Interesting insight by Gibbs (interviewed by Lottaz) on the mentality of the Americans - to utilise its war machine (and all the various parasites that feed off the war miachine, such as academics, media, lobbies, think tanks) by going out looking for enemies (Iran has been selected), and to attack a country even if there is only a 1% chance of it attacking the US (Cheney).

UN Security Council shows its bias and double-standards
14 Mar 2026
The UNSC also showed it is captured by the US and the Israelis when it passed UNSC Resolution 2817 (read it here) that condemned Iran's attacks on Gulf states. There is no equivalent UNSC resolution condemning the US-Israeli Axis of Evil for its illegal attack, their attacks on Iran's infrastructure and its civilians, including the 160 children murdered in a strike, or confirming that attacks on US military assets in the Gulf states were legitimate targets for the Iranians.
In this clip (at -51 mins), he confirms the attack on the girl's school was a double-tap. A double-tap is a deliberate attempt to murder "first responders". He believes the attack on the school was not a mistake because it was on the first day of the war on Iran, so the hit would have been pre-planned, and also because it was a double-tap attack. He also mentioned a "massacre" of Iranians at a gymnasium - that did not receive media attention.
Iran responded to Resolution 2817 by saying: "“Today’s adoption is a serious setback to the Council’s credibility and leaves a lasting stain on its record...Let me make it clear — this resolution is a manifest injustice against my country, the main victim of a clear act of aggression."
The Russians said: “To our deep regret, the resolution that just passed is expressed […] in a biased and one-sided tone,” The Chinese said "the resolution just adopted “does not fully reflect the root cause and overall picture of the conflict in a balanced manner”."
The representative for the Israelis did not lose the opportunity to publicly condemn Iran, but what he said was the height of hypocrisy: “Targeting civilians is wrong, targeting cities is wrong, and Iran must stop." This from the regime that has murdered tens of thousands of Palestinians, heaped a famine on them, denied them medical aid and food and shelter; is ethnically cleansing Palestine, and has turned Gaza into rubble devoid of civilan infrastructure.
The UNSC showed its lack of independence on 12 Mar (link) when most of its 15 members abstained from, or rejected, a Russian draft resolution to end all hostilities in the war on Iran.
Of the 15 members, Russia, China, Somalia and Pakistan voted for it; US and Latvia rejected it; United Kingdom, France, Bahrain, Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Denmark, Greece, Liberia and Panama abstained. For the resolution to pass, nine votes in favour were needed. The abstentions therefore had the effect of preventing it from passing.
The Russians said of the rejected resolution: “We’re deeply disappointed...This is not even double standards […] we are living through the looking glass.” (see here for an explanation of this idiom).
Civilian infrastructure and civilians must be spared from attacks. The Iranian foreign minister talked of retaliating with "an eye for an eye". That may be so for military assets, but it cannot be so for civilian infrastructure or civilians, even where it is a retaliation for attacks by the Axis of Evil.

Punjab government and Punjabis side with Iran in the war on Iran
14 Mar 2026
I came across this clip by Middle East Eye (MEE) about the Punjab government showing its support for Iran in the war on Iran by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil. Over 1600 comments and of those I read, most were supportive and thankful of Punjabis for siding with Iran. This file shows some of the comments (I could not capture all of them in the screenshot).
This MEE article from 2024 talks of collusion between Indian state forces and Israelis on tactics to suppress the protests of Punjabi farmers.

Petrodollars and preserving US financial dominance, but Iran is changing that dominance
13 Mar 2026
An interesting video on the dollar's global dominance and the intimidation of the US to maintain USD dominance; the creation of petrodollars after the end of the Gold Standard by doing a deal with the Saudis - US military protection in exchange for an agreement that Saudis will sell oil in USD only.
It says the US has gone to war on Iran to maintain the dominance of USD and so enable US to continue to increase the US debt.
This video also discusses petrodollars and the significance of the Hormuz and the strategy of the Iranians to create a US financial crisis by shutting off the supply of oil and hence USD and hence the continued ability of US to raise debt. A decline in the demand for USD will cause a financial crisis in the US.
This video explains how decades of US and Israeli oppression have had the opposite effect-it has galvanised Iranians, made Iran economically independent and able to endure and be ready for war, which has now happened.

The war on Iran and the danger of the depraved murderer, Netanyahu, firing off 120 Israeli nukes at Iran
13 Mar 2026
Diesen interviewed Einar Tangen. The discussion was a warning that the war On Iran could escalate to the point where the depraved barbarian, Netanyahu will set off nukes, but the fallout of that will spread across the skies and affect the entire globe. He said the Chinese see this and are keeping diplomatic channels open to avert nukes.
Tangen was also very pessimistic about the economic and humanitarian impact of the 20m barrels a day not being pumped around the world and the shortage of essential items, such as fertilisers, and the massive costs that will result from the looming energy crisis from less oil.
It was acknowledged that if Iran does as it has before and agree to negotiate, then the Axis of Evil will do as it has done before: use negotiation talks as a decoy to regroup and re-attack Iran. They acknowledged that it is pointless for Iran to sit opposite the US - they are untrustworthy. One diplomatic solution that might avert nukes was for Iran to make a condition (to end the war) that Trump and Netanyahu must go.
They discussed the ideology of the west - of sovereignty and colonialism being seen as forces for good and that the west's domination and subjugation of other people was a good act. They mentioned the disgusting Rubio and cited his comments when he was in Munich in Feb 2026, that the west should return to colonialism. See this link for Rubio's disgusting diatribe and many reports and assessments of it, such as this.

The evil imperialist US regime's blockade of Cuba and the puppet Venezuelan regime, are precipitating a humanitarian crisis in Cuba

Rubio, one of Trump's lackeys, has shown by his behaviour that he is morally bankrupt, and more so because he is of Cuban descent.

Starmer's cunning and subservience on full display as he allows US bombers to fly out of the UK to bomb Iran
12 Mar 2026
Diesen interviewed Marandi. Marandi mentioned the UK had allowed the US to use UK airbases for heavy US bombers en route to Iran.
Starmer's cunning was on full display when he claimed his authorisation of US bombers flying from the UK to attack Iran was a "defensive" measure to "prevent Iran firing missiles across the region, killing innocent civilians, putting British lives at risk and hitting countries that have not been involved... Iran is pursuing a scorched-earth strategy, so we are supporting the collective self-defense of our allies and our people in the region." Starmer said (ref).
France, Germany, and the UK (the E3) issued a joint statement saying: “We will take steps to defend our interests nd those of our allies in the region, potentially through enabling necessary and proportionate defensive action to destroy Iran’s capability to fire missiles and drones at their source.”
"E3 leaders are appalled by the indiscriminate and disproportionate missile attacks launched by Iran against countries in the region, including those who were not involved in initial US and Israeli military operations...Iran’s reckless attacks have targeted our close allies and are threatening our service personnel and our civilians across the region." Note how they omit any reference to US military bases in these Gulf states, and they use emotive words: appalled, indiscriminate, disproportionate, reckless. Note how they rely on the threat to assets rather than point to actual injury to those assets as a justification to attack.
What these countries have not admitted is the Gulf states are harbouring US military bases that could be used to launch attacks on Iran. These Europeans also failed to mention the impossibility of distinguishing bombs dropped for "defensive" measures and so ostensibly in compliance with Starmer's authorisation, and bombs dropped to further the agenda of the Axis of Evil, when both bombs land on the same target - a missile launcher, for example. The effect is Starmer's authorisation of the use of the UK for US bombing raids has just doubled the tonnage of bombs dropped by the US and so in practical terms, Starmer's defensive strategy is furthering the offensive agenda of the Axis of Evil.
Starmer's defensive measure is a ruse for what is clearly an offensive measure that directly supports the US-Israeli Axis of Evil in its wholly illegal and unjustified war on Iran.
This U-turn by Starmer also shows he is a liar because according to Patrick Henningsen (see this video at 46:06), the B52 bombers are needed because the US has depleted its air defence munitions and interceptors, not because of a defensive measure aimed at defending Gulf states.
Regarding US bases in the region, Henningsen also said the US has positioned military bases to shield Israel.

UK government's dual standards on display over Peter Kyle: pro-Israel lobby member and minister who sells to Israel
Declassified UK published a video of UK minister, Peter Kyle, who sells military parts to foreigners including the Israelis, who has not complied with the ministerial code that requires disclosure of potential conflicts of interest. The glaring conflict is he is a member of Israeli lobby group: Labour Friends of Israel. Starmer is on record as saying such a breach should result in expulsion. The guy responsible for policing ethics breaches, (Magnus) like Starmer, has done nothing about Kyle. It is a shameful example of double standards and hypocrisy from the Labour government.
FT.com hedgie incorrectly describes Trump in his war on Iran
11 Mar 2026
FT.com published a piece on the UK possibly raising fuel duty. I posted a comment on the lack of pressure on ending this war and the west's responsibility for rising costs:
It is shocking that the UK government is more inclined to review a hike in fuel taxes rather than apply pressure on the US-Israeli Axis of Evil to end its wholly unjustified and illegal war on Iran. That approach does not surprise me given so many in the UK government, and in the opposition parties, are funded and supported by the pro-Israelis.
Westerners should be left in no doubt that, contrary to what the western media says, rising costs (mortgages, energy, fertiliser and the rest) are entirely because of:a) the warmongering and contempt for human life and international law of Trump and Netanyahu, andb) the weakness, silence, and complicity of spineless western leaders and the UN; behaviour that has emboldened these international terrorists (Trump and Netanyahu) to continue their war crimes with impunity.

The Damage Report showed a clip that illustrated the pro-Israeli bias at CBS - now owned by the pro-Israeli Ellisons and staffed by pro-Israelis. The comments below describe CBS's extremely pro-Israeli reporting of the start of the war on Iran by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil.

Hypocrisy of US politician on full display
10 Mar 2026
A video (11:34) by Napolitano shows US politician Bluementhal condemn the Russians and the Chinese for possibly providing assistance to the Iranians (he had no proof so his comments could be fake news). Supposing his accusations are true, he is a hypocrit because the US has been providing direct support, including intelligence and weapons and money, to the Ukrainians.
A third party, such as the Russians of the Chinese, may do the same as the US is doing for Ukraine, and provide assistance to Iran, and for the US to criticise them is hypocrisy and another illustration of its double-standards.

Zelensky offered drone technology to the US in its war on Iran
10 Mar 2026
Meidas Touch showed a post (see image below) that said in Aug 2025, Zelensky of Ukraine offered Trump technology to help him if he waged war on Iran. That offer illustrates where the Ukrainian leadership's allegiance lies. While it is understandable that Zelensky would be grateful for US military aid and other support in their war against Russia, this post shows he has lost his moral compass when it comes to humanity, justice and the rule of law (if he ever had it).
Perhaps Zelensky was willing to sell his soul because he is desperate for more weapons and other support from the US and thought that offering this tech might secure that help, even if it meant being complicit in an illegal and wholly unjustified war on Iran.
This revelation doesn't diminish my opinion of the right of Ukraine to defend itself, it does, however, lower my opinion of Zelensky as a decent guy.
Update 11 Mar 2026: In this interview by Diesen, Ritter describes Zelensky as: "the man is a is a dog...he's a criminal...he's a Nazi. He's committed horrific crimes."

War on Iran - a bridge too far for the US-Israeli Axis of Evil, says Marandi
10 Mar 2026
Marandi said in an interview by Diesen that Iran will not agree to a ceasefire and that they will demand compensation from the attackers and allies of the US-Israeli "Epstein Coalition". Ceasefires don't result in enduring peace; they just enable the aggressors to regroup and return to attack again - said Diesen. At least twice, they (the US-Israeli alliance) have attacked Iran while peace negotiations were underway. They did the same while Hamas was negotiating a ceasefire in Qatar.
Marandi mentioned Trump's comments (see MSN's coverage here) about destroying Iran the nation - threats that signal war crimes, yet - as Marandi said - the western Media has not reported outrage at these threats. Marandi's comments coincide with my post (see below and image below of Trump's post) about the spineless political leaders such as the G7, being silent and not calling for an end to the war. They should be speaking out especially now that Trump is making such threats of total destruction. He is of course, copying Netanyahu's Dresdenisation of Gaza.
He said 20m barrels per day of oil are not being supplied to the market, and while the G7 releases reserves to offset these, those will be depleted rapidly (perhaps in a couple of months).
Diesen made the insightful observation that the west is "captured by their own narrative", meaning they spread lies and they believe them, and by believing them, they ignore reality. The example cited was the belief by Trump that Iran would not attack US bases in the Gulf states, when it was obvious to those who saw and understood reality, that those attacks were going to happen (and they did). Trump expressed surprise when those bases were attacked, confirming he had been captured by his own narrative.
This video (at 43:47) gives the examples of the Israelis and the US believing their own propaganda (that Hezbollah and the Iranian regime were weak) yet the opposite has turned out to be the case - Hezbolla and the Iran regime are showing they are far from the picture the west and the Israelis had protrayed of them - and then believed themselves.
Marandi said the US-Israeli alliance was bombing infrastructure and he predicted that if that continues, then Iran will destroy (not merely damage) comparable infrastructure across the Gulf states and that would collapse the world economy. He dismissed the despatch of a French warship to Hormuz - almost laughable given their performance against the Russians.
Marandi noted the rise in the oil price was benefitting the Russians, and the redirection of military hardware by the US (from Ukraine and from Sth Korea) would put Ukraine at a disadvantage and Russia will exploit that advantage.
Marandi explained the macronomic effects of the war on Iran - less oil sold so fewer petrodollars so fewer petrodollars invested in the US markets. Gulf states are US satellites and they are no longer a safe investment so less FDI in them so lower US GDP (including that of satellite states). The Gulf states will no longer buy US military hardware so fewer USD to US so lower US GDP.
Marandi said the war on Iran is exposing the regimes that are supporting the Axis of Evil, such as Erdogan of Turkey, and the minor states and groups: Azebhaijan and the Kurds. This ties in with a report on TYT today that talked of a Washington Post article that exposed the two-faced terrorist running Saudi who appears to talk of diplomacy but was secretly egging the US to attack Iran. He said these small pro-US groups had been warned that they will be destroyed if they continue to provoke Iran, and they have gotten the message. Marandi also noted a "sea change" in people's attitude towards Iran as a consequence of this war on Iran, a change that will have lasting effects, and a change that Diesen also sensed - from 2025. Marandi said there has been a noticeable rise in self-confidence of the Iranians following the US-Israeli attacks, and some protestors for regime change had now turned into proactive supporters (of the regime to repulse the US-Israeli alliance).
Diesen asked about the Russia-China influence. Marandi said their relationships with Iran had been strengthened by the war on Iran because China would be threatened if Iran fell and if the Israelis expanded across West Asia, so the Chinese sense the significance of a strong Iran. The Russians may trade with Iran given the geographical proximity and distance from the US.

FT.com continues to mislabel war on Iran
10 Mar 2026
FT published a piece again mislabelling the war on Iran. My comment was not published but sent to a moderator:
"FT continues to frame the war as the "Iran war" or "Middle East conflict" and other misnomers.
These misnomers a) camouflage the US and the Israelis from being identified as the instigators and culprits of this war and b) they point the finger at Iran instead of at these warmongers. This is the "US-Israel war on Iran".
Westerners should be left in no doubt that, contrary to what the western media says, rising costs (mortgages, energy, fertiliser and the rest) are entirely because of:
a) the warmongering and contempt for human life and international law of Trump and Netanyahu, and
b) the weakness and complicity of spineless western leaders and the UN, that have emboldened these international terrorists (Trump and Netanyahu) to continue their war crimes with impunity."

FT.com - framing that shields the US and perpetuates divisiveness
09 Mar 2026
FT.com published a piece that framed the narrative away from US behaviour and instead perpetuated geopolitical divisiveness. My comment was not publsihed but instead sent to moderators:
"This piece It is a clear example of how some of those who write for and control western media are divisive, adversarial, confrontational and hostile to the east.
These journos frame their article from the outset as a battle between Europe and Asia for a key resource, and repeat that framing later by writing "Europe and Asia fight for available cargoes".
They could have instead written "US exporters sell to the highest bidder as prices rise", or "US exporters show their priority is their bottom line". They could have said "Exporters divert cargoes as competition for gas rises" or "Exporters divert cargoes to boost profits as prices rise". That reframing would have focussed attention on the exporters and pointed the finger at them instead of an 'us versus them battle'.
The journos do not say US exporters are engaging in this practice nor do they state the country on the African continent also engaging in diverting cargoes. They do not identify the exporters or ownership the redirected vessels.
The piece is another example of framing that buries (not entirely in this case) controversial or negative US behaviour, and perpetuates geopolitical divisiveness.
It shows that much of the ills and conflicts of this world can be traced back to those who control the narrative."

FT.com - more misinformation from the FT
08 Mar 2026
FT.com published a piece on the war on Iran. My comment was sent to a moderator:
"More misinformation and propaganda by FT in support of the US-Israeli Axis of Evil
Why has "Netanyahu" been excluded from the title? This is his war as much as if not more than Trump's .
"Iran has expanded the conflict over the past week with attacks on neighbouring countries" No, Iran has not expanded the war. The neighbouring Gulf states are harbouring US military bases so these are legitimate targets because they could be used by the aggressor that started this wholly illegal and unjustified war on Iran.
"he [Trump] would now expand the focus of the US bombing campaign beyond military and nuclear targets,"
a) Again, FT excludes any mention of the focus of the Israelis. Why the silence, and why given the Israelis have already bombed an oil facility?
b) The US-Israeli Axis of Evil has already bombed non-military and non-nuclear targets, i.e., civilian infrastructure (including a school and murdering 160 children). These war crimes are a repeat of their war crimes committed in Gaza.
"...and then the gloves are off" A perfect confirmation that those who hold these beliefs value oil assets more highly than they value Iranians. Perhaps they have dehumanised Iranians (in the same way the Israelis have dehumanised Palestinians).
"“Israel cannot permit itself to think outside the American framework.” Really? Who is in the driving seat of this war on Iran? The Israelis have already bombed an oil facility, unleashing a climate disaster. Was that attack "outside the American framework"? Did Netanyahu seek authorisation from Trump? Is Trump Netanyahu's lackey? The signs point in that direction, but the FT is silent on that relationship.
“The goal is to allow regime change.” says an unnamed source. If true, then why is the Axis of Evil bombing civilian infrastructure and why did it murder 160 school children?"

Why Lebanese militants became involved in the war on Iran and more troublemaking by the Israelis
08 Mar 2026
A very insightful account of a video by Haiphong in which he interviewed Magnier.
Magbier provided reasons behind the Lebanese militant group (Hezbollah) becoming involved in the war on Iran. The Lebanese government said it will arrest the militants and the Lebanese army was preparing to attack the militants. The Lebanese government refused Iranian help to rebuild Lebanon and cut off air travel to Iran, i.e., the government was anti-Iran and pro-Israel.
The militants became involved in the war on Iran because a) the Israelis did not respect UNSC Resolution 1701; b) because the Israelis started to bomb Lebanon and violated Lebanese sovereignty 15000 times, murdering 500 Lebanese, c) because the atmosphere in Lebanon had become anti-Militant and pro-Israel, and d) because the Israelis were preparing to enter Lebanon. The US envoy Thomas Barak said UNSC Resolution 1701 was over, that Lebanon was a failed state and that the Israelis could enter Lebanon, and the Israelis did not recognise the border with Lebanon. Entering the war was therefore a timely opportunity for the militants to survive and to protect their people.
The militants said they'd stop fighting the Israelis if the Israelis: respected UNSC Resolution 1701, respected Lebanese sovereignty and allowed Lebanon to be rebuilt.
The video also talked about the possible attacks on desalination facilities in Gulf states. Such attacks on civilian infrastructure would be a war crime. Magnier highlights the attacks by the Israelis on Iran's civilian infrastructure (including police HQ, hospitals, schools) and therefore said the Israelis are committing war crimes, just as they committed war crimes in Gaza.
He said Netanyahu wants Gulf states to be destroyed as that would mean "the arab countries will crawl back to me for support" i.e., they would be weakened so he would become dominant in the region.
Magnier mentioned the US submarine that bombed an Iranian frigate while it was in international waters and was unarmed and returning from a military parade. That attack killed at least 60 men.
The war on Iran now means it costs $12m versus $0.25m to insuring a freight ship crossing the Hormuz.
Magnier concluded the war on Iran and all its consequences was to prevent Netanyahu from going to prison for his crimes. He repeated the point made by van Holen (US senator) who said Netanyahu had not found a US president stupid enough to make war on Iran but he found one after 40 years in Trump. He added Netanyahu is willing to destroy Iran.

FT.com - more bias and misinformation by the FT on the war on Iran
08 Mar 2026
Consistent with my belief that the FT is a propaganda machine for the US-Israeli Axis of Evil, it yet again showed footage of US or Israeli bombs taking out Iranian hardware or facilites - this time a clip called "US strikes Iranian missile launchers". It also had a subtitle "Middle East war". No footage of Iranian strikes on Israeli or US property. Again, one-sided portrayal to paint a false narrative to their voters and to the general public.
The story had the headline ""Most dangerous job on earth": the life of an Iranian ballistic missile crew" giving the impression the US and Israelis (or the UK) have the skills and the means for pinpoint exedcution and so for these crews it really must be that dangerous. I did not bother to read the piece.
Next to this piece was another article, called "Israel expands attacks to Iranian oil storage facilities" Again, all the focus was on showcasing a successful attack by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil.
I did read in full a FT.com piece called "Iran warns it will hit US bases across region hours after president’s apology" It did not allow any comments, a cunning ploy that ensures no challenge to its content. The title was unclear - 'president' it could have meant the US president or the Israeli president, but in fact it meant the Iranian president (IP).
It paints a false picture that the IP went back on his words ('TACO Trump' is well known for doing just that, and so the FT falsely maligned his character. Its subtitle said "Masoud Pezeshkian had said Tehran would stop attacks on Gulf neighbours".
Reading the article, it is clear that the FT has taken those words in isolation and has misled the reader by excluding the condition that was given regarding attacks. The article said "he warned that Arab states would be targeted if they allowed the US to use their territory or airspace to launch strikes against the republic." It is clear therefore that the IP did not unconditionally stop attacks but would attack if the condition for attack was met. The IP did not go back on his words, in the way the FT has depicted in its reporting. The comments by the Iranian military are consistent with the IP's. The article came across as misleading and derogatory.
The FT adds "the US and Israel killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior officials in strikes on the supreme leader’s compound in Tehran a week ago" It failed to add that civilians were murdered in that attack, including the 14-month old granddaughter and other civilian relatives of Khamenei.
The FT also said "[Iran attacked] across the Gulf in a bid to spread the conflict throughout the region and raise the stakes for the US." i.e., the FT did not mention that these Gulf states harboured US military bases that could attack Iran, and so these Gulf states were legitimate targets of Iran in retaliation to the illegal and wholly unjustified war on Iran by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil. Instead it framed the attacks as raising the stakes for the US and gave no justification for these attacks by Iran, even though there is one.
The FT did not mention that these Gulf states had been warned of retaliatory attacks. Middle East Eye.net said "Iran has repeatedly warned, in both public and private messages, that if attacked by the US, it will retaliate by launching strikes against Gulf states hosting US military bases."
It is not surprising with such biased reporting the FT did not allow comments to this article. It ensures the bias is not exposed and so not challenged and corrected by readers' comments.

I did read in full a FT.com piece called "Iran warns it will hit US bases across region hours after president’s apology" It did not allow any comments, a cunning ploy that ensures no challenge to its content. The title was unclear - 'president' it could have meant the US president or the Israeli president, but in fact it meant the Iranian president (IP).
It paints a false picture that the IP went back on his words ('TACO Trump' is well known for doing just that, and so the FT falsely maligned his character. Its subtitle said "Masoud Pezeshkian had said Tehran would stop attacks on Gulf neighbours".
Reading the article, it is clear that the FT has taken those words in isolation and has misled the reader by excluding the condition that was given regarding attacks. The article said "he warned that Arab states would be targeted if they allowed the US to use their territory or airspace to launch strikes against the republic." It is clear therefore that the IP did not unconditionally stop attacks but would attack if the condition for attack was met. The IP did not go back on his words, in the way the FT has depicted in its reporting. The comments by the Iranian military are consistent with the IP's. The article came across as misleading and derogatory.
The FT adds "the US and Israel killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and other senior officials in strikes on the supreme leader’s compound in Tehran a week ago" It failed to add that civilians were murdered in that attack, including the 14-month old granddaughter and other civilian relatives of Khamenei.
The FT also said "[Iran attacked] across the Gulf in a bid to spread the conflict throughout the region and raise the stakes for the US." i.e., the FT did not mention that these Gulf states harboured US military bases that could attack Iran, and so these Gulf states were legitimate targets of Iran in retaliation to the illegal and wholly unjustified war on Iran by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil. Instead it framed the attacks as raising the stakes for the US and gave no justification for these attacks by Iran, even though there is one.
The FT did not mention that these Gulf states had been warned of retaliatory attacks. Middle East Eye.net said "Iran has repeatedly warned, in both public and private messages, that if attacked by the US, it will retaliate by launching strikes against Gulf states hosting US military bases."
It is not surprising with such biased reporting the FT did not allow comments to this article. It ensures the bias is not exposed and so not challenged and corrected by readers' comments.
Rubio's nonsense underlines the US regime's war on Iran is built on lies
07 Mar 2026
Watch this clip by David Pakman where pro-Israeli, Rubio, explains why the US struck Iran, even though it is clear there was NO imminent threat of attack on the US by Iran. Rubio's explanation is shocking for its nonsense and for its absence of rational thought. This article also discusses his statements
Note how he says the US struck pre-emptively NOT because it was under imminent threat from Iran, but because Israel was going to attack Iran and Iran would have - presumed Rubio - then attacked the US, so to avoid that assumed attack on the US, the US struck Iran first.
Rubio says the US "went proactively in a defensive way" - gibberish.

Israelis have been chomping at the bit for decades for their war on Iran, and now their lackey in the White House is doing their bidding
07 Mar 2026
Israelis have been waiting for this war (on Iran) for 47 years. Watch this clip of the Israeli saying so. There is no doubt the Israelis are driving this war and Trump, their lackey, is supplying the fire power and the political weight and the propaganda through his lies, because the Israelis are weak and need a big bully to do their dirty work.
"we've been waiting for 47 years and uh we came to a point with every every necessary mean should be taken in order to achieve our goal." said the Israeli. Note the Israeli said "we have been waiting for 47 years" and "achieve our goal". Netanyahu has said his 40-year plan has been realised (with the war on Iran).
The clip also talks of how the Israelis have influenced Trump by: surrounding him with pro-Israelis such as Hegseth and Rubio, giving him money via Adelson, and telling him fake stories that the Iranians were behind his attempted assassinations.

Misreporting and propaganda of the war on Iran by western mainstream media, and what the independent media says of the war
07 Mar 2026
It is clear the western mainstream media is misreporting the war on Iran. According to O'Brien at LBC, just 8% of the UK supports the US-Israeli Axis of Evil's war on Iran. One would think it is the other way round given the content of the mainstream media coverage of the war on Iran. Of course, there is a propaganda campaign - probablly largely funded by Israelis, that has captured politicians and the mainstream media do the bidding of the Israelis.
Independent media videos paint a very different picture of the war on Iran. They show that Iran is inflicting damage to the US-Israeli Axis of Evil and depleting the Axis's missiles. It was also apparent that the Israelis are not allowing any media coverage of the scale of destruction and damage inflicted on Israel by Iranian air strikes. There is a media blackout In Israel and censorship that enables the Israelis to cover up what is happening in Israel and to spread false information of what really is happening (link) and (link). It is the same approach they used in Gaza where the Israelis murdered hundreds of local Palestinian journalists so the world would not see what is happening on the ground.
I have formed a belief that the FT reporting shows running accounts (including videos) of attacks by the Israelis and the US, on Tehran for example. Very little if any, is being shown on the damage being inflicted by Iran on Israel or on US vessels or sites. I think that one-sided coverage is deliberate - to paint a positive image of success by the US-Israeli regimes in order to maintain the support of their followers. That imbalance in reporting is supported by reports I've seen (on or around 10 March), that say the Israelis are not allowing media coverage of damage to their properties and other infrastructure.
I believe the US and Israeli regimnes are releasing footage of their attacks on Iran and directing the media to publish it to paint the picture that the Axis of Evil is causing damage and so is winning this war. It is in short, propaganda and it is consistent with what O'Brien on LBC said about UK media's coverage. It also consistent with the media blackout and censorship operating in Israel (see above).
Chris Hedges interviewed Crooke who gave a very different account of the state of the Axis of Evil in this war and how Iran was faring much better than the western media and the Axis of Evil would admit (link)
O'Brien at LBC talks of the inconsistency of the UK media's reporting when only 8% (from a YouGov poll) of the UK support this war (link). He talks of 'manufacturing consent' and how politicians and the media influence the masses to think in a particular way.
This video by Haiphong has the title "Iran's Missiles DECIMATE Israel & Gulf, Trump STUNNED as Russia Enters | Stanislav Krapivnik"
Andre Martynov gave his views in this video on the ability of the Israelis and the US to fight a real war and to put troops on the ground. He dismissed these regimes as incompetent at real war. The Israelis are good at genocide and after more than 2 years were unable to win in a tiny strip of land called Gaza where the opposition have homemdade weapons and essentially are treated as inmates of an open air Israeli prison. That Israeli performance says a lot about the fighting skills of the Israelis so they have no chance when dealing with a real war with Iran on the ground. He refers to the US legacy media as sacks of "excrement". That is pretty much what he thinks of much of the US government and its military's competence and skill level in relation to a real war.

FT continues to mislabel the war on Iran
07 March 2026
FT.com published an article on the impact on energy prices. As so often, FT mislabelled the war on Iran. I pointed this out in my comment - which was immediately posted, but for how long?

March to, and rally outside of, US Embassy, London - 07 Mar
07 Mar 2026
I went to this march and rally today. I arrived at Vauxhall Tube, after the meeting time of 12pm, and made my way to Vauxhall Bridge. I was not sure where the marchers were at that time - perhaps they had already reached the Embassy or perhaps they were still at Millbank.
I could not see any Palestinian or Iranian flags or crowds when I looked around and towards Millbank in the distance (there was one person with a flag draped over his shoulders walking towards the Embassy that made me think I should head in that direction but some photographers were sitting on the bridge and perhaps waiting for the marchers, so I was unsure what direction to take.
I decided to walk over the bridge to Millbank and then saw several police officers on motorbikes pointing some people who appeared to be marchers to walk down Millbank. I also saw a person who was holding a large flag heading down Millbank. I therefore decided to also walk in that direction.
It was not long until I started to hear chants of marchers and was greeted by a sea of people coming down Millbank towards me. I was fortunate to find high vantage points to take photos of the many and varied placards held aloft by marchers as they streamed by.
There were supportive jews there (traditional jews, if that is the right description of them), as they often have been at Palestinian marches. There was a small group of Iranians calling for regime change and an Israeli flag was displayed among that bunch (no US flag) and they were shouting as the far greater group passed by within feet of them. One or more of the marchers were having an exchange of words with a person from the smaller group. Police were on the spot and could easily have intervened if needed. Fortunately, nothing untoward happened. I moved on to another spot and took more photos; I think around 200.
The marchers turned onto Vauxhall Bridge then right and down Nine Elms I guess and we ended up outside the Embassy. I stayed to listen to the speakers and took photos of placards. What is amazing to see with the placards is the creativity, thoughtfulness and insightful put into creating the message they convey. Some placards are creatively constructed in addition to the message on them. Some were simple, concise and direct in their message. Some referred to Palestine, some to Iran and Lebanon, some to the US and to imperialism, so there were a variety of themes.
Opposite the Embassy (adjacent to the river), a permanent base had been created with messages about Palestine. The first time I was at the Embassy, it was dark and I was unfamiliar with the area. Today, in daylight and as I walked with the marchers, I saw much more and was able to orient myself much better with the surroundings. It's possible that this is where the event was held that I travelled to but but did not realise this location - situated on the other side of the road from where I was.
I stayed and listened to speakers until the rally ended - around 4pm and the marchers dispersed. I was getting a headache because the chanting was so loud and persistent. I didn't chant with the crowd but I did clap at some of what the speakers said. It is disgusting that the UK is assisting the US-Israeli Axis of Evil in this wholly illegal and unjustified war ON Iran. As the truism says, truth is the first casualty of war. The aggressors are spreading lies and misinformation with shameless abandon.

Police turn up outside my house in numbers and vehicles - why?
07 Mar 2026
At around 7pm, a police van stopped one or two doors away from my house and at least a couple of saloon cars stopped outside my house and one or two doors in the other direction. Lights were blazing but no sirens. I think the van had the words: "territorial" on its side and "police".
Men got out of the van and at least one of the vehicles, and they were walking around. I was not sure whatthey were doing or what was going on. I became anxious that they were about to arreest me for what I had been posting on my website about Palestine and Iran, and on FT.com.
I couldn't see what they were doing. I thought perhaps they were installing some surveillance equipment to record me - perhaps on a telegraph post. I was concerned they take my laptop and all my personal data. I was not too concerned because they would need a warrant to enter my home - they might have had that in their pocket.
Today, I thought perhaps they were putting on a show outside my home of force to intimidate me. After about ten minutes, they got back into their cars and drove off and drove off and so did the van. There was no obvious reason why they turned up.
Images remain and sensitise one's mind to spotting the same image later. Today, as I was walking back home after the rally and march to the US Embassy, I noticed the same words on a police van (see image below) with the same words on its side.

FT.com - the UK and its media are captured by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil, and are spreading their false narratives
06 Mar 2026
FT.com published a piece today on the UK's support for the US in its war ON Iran. I posted a comment but it was instead sent to a moderator. It is shown below (italics).
"the UK government views the US strikes on Iranian missile sites as defensive, rather than offensive, in nature."
The US sent its warships into West Asia then launched attacks on Iran, and now the UK shamelessly calls US attacks "defensive" not offensive.
The west and the Israelis have spent decades spreading false narratives to justify their dirty deeds across the world. Labelling offence as defence is just one example of their twisting of the truth to serve their purposes.
Labelling this war as the "Iran war" is another twist of the truth. That false label has the duel effect of camouflaging the identity of the aggressors and instigators of this war - the US-Israeli Axis of Evil- and pointing the finger of blame at Iran.

FT.com - Senior NHS employee is also a consultant for genocide enabler, Palantir
Update 17 Mar 2026
FT.com published a piece saying Swindells is out of the NHS. I posted a comment (see below) on that but it was immediately referred to a moderator:
"I was critical of this guy when this story first broke and am pleased he has gone. While the NHS and patients are better off, his departure does not mean he will stop pursuing a pro-Israeli agenda, so vigilance is essential.
He is just one of legions of pro-Israelis who have infiltrated and undermined British institutions and British government to further a pro-Israeli agenda.”

FT.com published a piece that exposed a guy who is a senior person in the NHS AND a consultant for Palantir - the ultra-pro-Israeli company that is assisting the genocidal Israeli regime.

US imperialists show they are brazen liars
05 Mar 2026
The first casualty of war is the truth. This Zeteo clip cites numerous examples of those lies and misinformation by the Russians when they waged war on Ukraine, and by the US when they waged war on Iran. Note the similarities. They are just a few of the reams of lies uttered by the US about its war on Iran. Hegseth is a brazen liar - he actually said the US did not start the war on Iran (link). He talks gibberish - in the same breath saying "this is not a regime change war", but then says "but the regime sure did change". This clip (at 07:40mins) exposes the ambiguity of whether the US is in a war or in "a conflict", and whether the US aim was Iran regime change or not "regime change".

Israelis today are far more inhumane than the French slave traders of the 18th century
04 Mar 2026
I came across a video today of the people of Madagascar enslaved by the French in the 18th century. It is a shocking example of white supremacy and inhumanity, and of the dehumanisation of people into cargo to be traded or abandoned.
The French had enslaved many Madagascans and were shipping them off but enroute the ship was wrecked. On land, the French had priority and control of the limited fresh water, and their slefishness meant some of the Madagascans died from thirst. The French also took priority over boarding the boat that BOTH groups had built. ALL those left behind were Madagascans. The Frenchman promised to return for those left behind. He never did. He tried but the French refused to help. This is another harrowing real life example of white supremacy, dehumanisation, and inhumanity.
The same is happening today, only the scenery has changed and the groups involved. The enslaved today are the Palestinians; their oppressors and "white" supremacists are the Israelis, and the location is Palestine.
The situation is however worse because Israeli oppressors are not abandoning the Palestinians to fend for themsleves. That would offer Palestinians respite and relief; a chance to regain strength and to recover and rebuild. No, these depraved Israelis won't allow that - they restrict aid and food and water so the Palestinians will starve and die, or in desperation, flee their homeland - which is what the oppressors want as it clears the way for their "greater Israel" project. They continue to murder Palestinian civilians, including women and children, even though there is a (fake) ceasefire in place - a ceasefire they have breached over 1000 times.
The French eventually overcame their inhumanity and rescued those they had dehumanised and degraded and left behind, but by that time, years later, just seven women and a baby of the 60 originally abandoned, remained on the tiny island.
The video makes a very important point that underlines the ingrained and embedded racism of the whites and reveals their disregard for people who were different: no records remain; no history; of what became of these survivors. Perhaps the whites did not consider them human enough, not human at all, or not their equal, to warrant keeping a record of their lives in the same way they recorded and preserved their own.
Of course, not all whites were so depraved and inhumane. There were French people who were slavery abolitionists. The Frenchman who promised to save those HE left behind did try to rescue those left behind. Perhaps through his efforts, the depravity and inhumanity of the French in general did change and perhaps his efforts made a difference to the lives of those he had abandoned years earlier on the island.

Vanessa Beely exposes the hidden network that coordinates what is reported and how, by mainstream western media
04 Mar 2026
Flintoff's video today was an interview of Vanessa Beely. She gave a hard-hitting and insightful explanation that was a revelation to me, because she spoke of the relationship between the media and intelligence organisations and how they determine what is reported and how it is framed.
She says this network publishes lies, "propaganda", asap (before genuine and independent news groups can fact-check and then publish the truth). "The propaganda is off the track and running before people can verify what is going on, and that [delay in reporting the truth] of course is the problem."
She adds: "British and US media are aligned with British and US intelligence agencies and with regimes, to effectively dissseminate those lies as quickly as possible to manufacture consent for whatever project or strategy the west has in mind for a particular country [and she mentioned many countries across West Asia]." She cited the classic example of the war on Iraq, where the truth came later and after millions of Iraqis had been either starved by sanctions, or murdered. She later added the west's strategy is to secure and expand Israel so it serves as the west's military outpost in the region.
I have been very critical of the FT in its bias and misinformation, but now I see that their framing could be driven or influenced by intelligence organisations. It is likely that the intelligence organisations coordinate with the government, so there is a network. That network will include pro-Israeli politicians and journalists, but many probably operate in the shadows - as fixers, enablers, and go-betweeners who arrange meetings and make introductions and connections.
Flintoff mentioned the BBC did not report on the US-Israeli attack that murdered over 140 children, because it had not been verified. I accept that it is essential to fact-check, however, that requirement can be abused by using it as a pretext to not report on an event that is of grave importance but which will be politically damaging to a government. So much for independent reporting. I searched online and found multiple reports by the BBC on that attack, so perhaps Flintoff's criticism is that the BBC was relatively slow to report on the attack, perhaps hoping the crimes of the US-Israeli Axis of Evil would be buried under more recent news and events.
The BBC has come under heavy criticism over its biased reporting of the genocide of Palestinians - favouring the Israelis, so it would not be surprising if it is playing the same game in this war.
Flintoff raised the concern that the Isralelis might resort to using nukes, given that "they get away with genocide; they get away with anything...they could probably think in their minds they could get away with nuclear".
Beely mentioned the so-called Samson option whereby they could launch nukes to an exstential threat to its existence, saying it reserves the right to go nuclear. She also mentioned the Israelis have for a very long time, been using chemical warfare - the poisoning of wells and using white phosphorous in Palestine, and spraying glyphosate in Lebanon.
Beely also made the very insightful observation that refugees are being sent back by western countries because Azad of Syria is no longer in power, i.e., while he was, it served western propaganda and strategy to accept refugees but now he has gone, those refugees are not serving the west's agenda and propaganda so, without any concern for their welfare and of humanity, the west is turning its back on these refugees "they [the west] weaponised [when Azad was in power]". "they [the west] don't want them [refugees] anymore. They don't need them anymore."

Motion A105 - silence. So long Green Party
Update 24 Mar 2026
This video discusses the Motion and says it will be on he agenda at the conference. It also demolishes the cunning false claim that conflates zionism with judaism.
04 Mar 2026
I became a member of the Green Party on 28 Feb to lend my support to help the progress of Motion A105. I came across this recently via the Crispin Flintoff video (see 24 Feb post below).
I subsequently learned that I could not give that support (the so-called Prioritisation process had ended on 20 Feb according to the Party's website document on prioritising its Motions).
In addition, I had not received a response to my offer of help with that Motion, nor a response to the email I sent to the policy people at the Party asking if there was any way I could push the Motion A105 as intended. They have not responded.
I sincerley tried but was met with silence. I was keen to help with this Motion partly because it inluded reference to the disgraceful IHRA definition of antisemitism.
Today, I called the Party but no answer and not even a chance to leave a message - voicemail is full. I therefore sent them an email asking for my money back and to cancel my membership.

Ealing Council councillors show their inhumanity
03 Mar 2026
Disgusting Ealing council councillors have betrayed Palestinians and the thousands of Ealing residents who signed the petition calling on them to divest council pension funds from companies that enable the genocide of Palestinians by Israelis. I know first-hand how that betrayal feels: the three councillors who represent my ward Gary Busuttil, Gary malcolm, Andrew steed, did not even have the professional courtesy to respond to my emails urging them to sign the divestment letter.
This evening, a protest rally was held outside the council.

Update on the war ON Iran, by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil
02 Mar 2026
Crooke said in his interview with Napolitano that Rubio's comments that Iran was preparing ICBMs to attack the US as justification for the US's pre-emptive attack on Iran: "that's just nonsense...it's actually just really childish...it [Iran] is not a threat to the United States".
He discusses the motivation to attack Iran. He agrees with Napolitano: it is the US's desire to retain dollar hegemony, which enables the US to service its massive government debt, and provide the military power to continue to oppress and attack countries.
Crooke laments the assassination of the supreme leader, an act that has inflamed the Iranians and their desire for revenge. Crooke says the leader chose not to take shelter but he chose to be a martyr for his people as that is how be could best serve them - through martyrdom. His granddaughter, son and daughter in law were also murdered in the attack.
Crooke lists three gaffs by the Israelis:
a) their incitement of an uprising that failed to bring down the regime; b) their bombing of nuclear bases in Iran that failed to bring down the regime; c) the assassination and strikes on Iran currently underway, that has enraged and inflamed Iranians, and contrary to bringing down the Iranian regime, the assassination has probably energised it and Iranians to fight back and seek revenge with greater zeal.
Crooke said with confidence this latest attack by the Axis of Evil (US-Israelis) was set back in December 2025 and agreed with Napolitano that the recent 'negotiations' by the US were a ruse to try and catch the Iranians off guard and to lull them into a false sense of security ahead of a body blow. "All of that was deceit". Crooke however said the Iranians were prepared for an attack and were not duped by the AOE.
Marandi said the Iranians knew the Axis of Evil were preparing for war when Trump, Witkoff, and Vance began to spread lies about Iran developing nuclear weapons, saying Iran is able to prepare nukes quickly, that Iran was an imminent threat, and whipping up alarm and the threat of an imminent attack.
The fake news and lies from the Axis of Evil were all to justify a pre-emptive strike, as allowed under UN rules of war. That justification, however, was based on fake news and misinformation.
Trump the hypocrit moans and criticises those who spread fake news aimed at him, but he spreads it himself when it suits his agenda.
Marandi said on the Katie Halper video that Iranians realised months ago, after the June bombings, that a repeat attack would occur as it is in the nature of the Axis of Evil to return, and so they did. Iran retailaited within an hour of the Axis of Evil attacking.
This Novara Media interviewee said the Iranians had conceded on uranian enrichment and so Trump had a significant win (greater than achieved by Obama) yet he still went ahead and waged war on Iran. No one can pinpoint why this terrorist has waged war - other than he is being egged on by the nurderous Israelis, as usual. She also confirms Trump's lie about not being a warmonger and his lie to America First voters. She also say the US attack was illegal under US law and also under International law. She alludes to the slippery and sleazy justification used by Starmer for supporting the Axis of Evil in their attacks on Iran. She urges the world to oppose the lawless acts of Trump and is disappointed that the Europeans who speak of upholding, and the importance of, international laws, are not speaking out.
The Europeans and the UK are actually spineless cowards unwilling to stand up to Trump's lawlessness and that timidity will embolden him to continue to spread his terrorism. His claim of success in taking out Maduro and his gloating about it, plus the lack of international condemnation of that act, has emboldened him to attack again, this time Iran, in the hope it would also result in a quick regime change and a quick end to his war on Iran. He has made a massive error of judgement.
On the same video, disgustig Starmer and Cooper condemned Iran yet they did not condemn the Axis of Evil for their wholly unjustified attack on Iran - the double standards are disgusting. NM also showed the vile hypocrisy of Carney in defending the Axis of Evil. NM then showed Hegseth lying about the attack on Iran. It also shows Netanyahu saying what he has wanted to do for 40 years (attack Iran). The video also showed clips of the vile and warped comments and thinking including the disgusting Patel and Farage.

He has made a massive error of judgement.
On the same video, disgustig Starmer and Cooper condemned Iran yet they did not condemn the Axis of Evil for their wholly unjustified attack on Iran - the double standards are disgusting. NM also showed the vile hypocrisy of Carney in defending the Axis of Evil. NM then showed Hegseth lying about the attack on Iran. It also shows Netanyahu saying what he has wanted to do for 40 years (attack Iran). The video also showed clips of the vile and warped comments and thinking including the disgusting Patel and Farage.
FT.com more bias and framing by FT over Iran

FT.com more biased reporting by FT of US - Israeli imperialists
02 Mar 2026
FT.com published an article that understated and failed to give adequate weight to the imperialists' crimes against Iran. I objected in my comment. The original version was soon removed and when I noticed, I tried a slightly less angry version. It might also be removed. Take 2 was removed by the censorious FT.

Double Down News reveals the truth about the warmongering US and Israelis liars attacking Iran
01 Mar 2026
I have not been following the events in Iran but took a look today. I did not want to read the FT because it would be reporting through the lens of the US and Israel warmongers and it is a PR and propaganda machine for both. The only value in reading it is to collate evidence of its bias. Instead, I took a look at Double Down (DD) News, and a video presented by Lowkey
Lowkey gave a summary of the hand of the Israelis in this attack on Iran. The warmongering Israelis are a menace to decent society and have been causing trouble in the region for decades. One wanders what these Israelis have on Trump to make him act as their poodle.
Another DD video showed footage of Trump and Hegseth campaigning to win the election on the basis that they were against wars, yet as Lowkey shows, these rabid warmongers quickly changed course after they came to power - as illustrated with their attacks on Nigeria, Venezuela, Iran, and Cuba. Watch the video to be shocked at the vitriol now spewed by Hegseth.
It is common to now refer to these depraved warmongers as the "Epstein class".
Lowkey talks of the spread of the Epstein class's war to neighbouring contries - to destroy US bases placed in these allies of the imperialists. He mentioned the economic impact that will be felt as supply chains are disrupted.
A shocking figure he revealed was the 38 million people killed by US and EU sanctions since 1970. That is the passive but lethal kind of warfare that these warmongers inflict that is not mentioned in western media or history books.
He exposed the US ideology (which is actually the Israeli ideology) that deems it acceptable for the Israelis to take the entire region of West Asia (aka the Middle East). There is no stopping the ambitions of these imperialists - headed by the Israelis, in taking West Asia for themselves. They have started to divide Syria so it is too small and weak to retaliate (the divide and conquer strategy). Turkey could be next in their firing line, and it knows and is taking steps.
Once again, DD says the mainstream media cannot be relied upon for true independent and unbiased reporting.
This DD video also by Lowkey describes Iran's support for the Palestinians and the history behind the US's overthrowing of the democratically-elected leader of Iran who was removed by the US because he wanted to nationalise Iran's oil for his people - something the westerners would not tolerate. Think of that - a US regime that goes to great pains to support democracy OVERTHROWS a democratically-elected leader of Iran. The hypocrisy of the US is nauseating. It tried to do the same in Venezuela when it was led by Chavez.
If it was not obvious before, it is now: the US and its allies are liars who use democracy and liberalism as cover for imperialism and war. The Israelis hide behind the military and financial might of the US but they are pulling the strings of their puppet, Trump and using their accumulated wealth and connections to buy power and influence of politicians and the media.
This DD video exposes the shocking and blatant lies of these imperialists over the decades and it is the same liars justifying their murderous campaigns.
It is truly shocking and depressing to see these scum - Trump, Netanyahu, Hegseth, Bolton and many more spew their brazen lies while bombing and murdering innocent civilians thousands of miles away. The western media gives these scum a platform to spread false propaganda to the masses in the west but they are feeding them lies.
Just as they lied about the weapons of mass destruction that led to these warmongers murdering 1 million Iraqis, these same warmongers are now lying again and talking of pre-emptive strikes on Iran - a lie to justify their murderous campaign of land and resource grabbing in West Asia. They reveal their hypocrisy by denying nukes to Iran (as if they have any right to stop them) while harbouring their own nukes ready and able to strike Iran and other countries across the world. Listen to the DD video above in which the Israeli talks of sending a nuke to a remote area in Iran to demonstrate these murderers' capability and intent, and then warning the Iranians that their next nuke will hit Tehran.

Warmongering Americans and Israelis bomb Iran
28 Feb 2026
Warmongering Americans and Israelis bombed and murdered innocent Iranians today. A rally was held at Parliament Sq London this afternoon to protest. Many people from diverse backgrounds joined in condemning these murderous regimes. It was a great atmosphere, completely peaceful, no pro-Israelis in sight to cause trouble and mischief.
The police were conspicuous and present in large numbers, but they appeared relaxed and did not appear to me to be harrassing or intimidating anyone. This is how freedom of speech and protest should be conducted - civilised and peaceful. Compare that to the behaviour of the murderous ICE and CBP thugs in America and the IDF in Palestine.
Though I am not sure, it would not surprise me to learn that the UK government has played its part in aiding and abbetting these regimes in their war on Iran.
A couple of the images on the bottom row are of a group I saw on the other end of Trafalgar Sq. I realised they were not the group I was searching for. These people want regime change in Iran, so I suspect they welcome the efforts of the US and Israelis to achieve that end, but I am not sure how these people feel about fellow Iranians being murdered in attacks by the US and Israelis. There were some people calling for a ban on executions of Iranians and they displaying images of people.
I suspect those images were of detained anti-government protestors who had been arrested and sentenced to death, and some that had been executed.
I strongly support calls for democracy in Iran and the right of freedom of speech and of peaceful protest in Iran. I strongly oppose execution of people who call for regime change and who peacefully defend their right of free speech. The US and Israeli regimes have played a hand in enciting such protests and calling for regime change in Iran.
Here is a video by Flintoff that covered the event in Parliament Sq. Several popular figures were present and gave their views.

FT.com's shameful and biased reporting about Palestine
27 Feb 2026
FT.com published an article of a poll showing MORE Americans "sympathise" with Palestinians than with Israelis. Comments were not allowed on the article. I sent an email to the FT with my comments about not allowing comments and about the content of the article:
Re: Comment not allowed - Americans now sympathise with Palestinians more than Israelis, poll finds
https://www.ft.com/content/25e26e93-e18a-490f-92cf-1f696f7d0a66
It is utterly disgusting of the FT to not allow comments on this article. It shows the FT to be pro-Israeli and anti-Palestinian in its reporting.
The widespread references in this article to "antisemitism" falsely and maliciously equate (conflate) the reasonale and justified condemnation of Israelis who either support or who commit genocide, ethnic cleansing and apartheid of Palestinians. Such condemnation is NOT antsemitism.
It is also worth noting that there is not a single reference or quote in this article from a pro-Palestinian voice nor any counter by the FT, or anyone else, to the false conflation of antisemitism with criticism of the genocidal Israelis.
The FT should be ashamed for
a) not allowing readers to counter such false conflation;
b) not presenting a balanced view on this poll. There are TWO groups in this poll (Israelis and Palestinians) yet the FT has interviewed, quoted, and presented ONLY the Israeli perspective.
"Israel’s two-year war against Hamas in Gaza" What disgusting misinformation. For TWO YEARS the Israelis have committed genocide and ethnic cleansing and Israelis have been has been starving to death Palestinians and denying them medical aid, yet knowing all this the FT says nothing about it. The FT says the Israelis are at war with Hamas, when it is obvious the Israelis are at war with Palestinian civilians including women and children. That deliberate ommission is an utterly disgusting example of biased pro-Israeli reporting by the FT.
"Palestinian efforts to recover ...have stalled amid an Israeli blockade". It is a plus mark for the FT to have even mentioned the Israeli blockade, but so much more could have been said to underline the inhumanity of that blocakde, such as the 37 humanitarian organisations prevented by the Israelis from entering Gaza or the West Bank.
"intermittent fighting since a US-brokered ceasefire in October." How disgusting that the FT fails to mention the 618 Palestinians (the vast majority civilians) murdered by the Israelis since the fake ceasefire, or that the Israelis have violated the ceasefire over 1600 times. (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/11/11/how-many-times-has-israel-violated-the-gaza-ceasefire-here-are-the-numbers).
It is thanks to independent media and the courageous Palestinian journalists, not to pro-Israeli western media such as the FT, that the depravity and inhumanity of Israelis is being seen, read , and archived for the world.

FT.com - poor reporting by FT on the UK government's efforts to remove trial by jury
26 Feb 2026
FT.com published a piece on the government's plan to remove trial by jury in the UK (at least partly). I referred to the danger of this and mentioned Palestine Action trials (PA) and the PA judicial review. My comment was published, but for how long? I then sent an email to Defend our Juries (see below) and requested replies to my emails to Tim Crosland.

UK government turns a blind eye to UK citizens who fought in genocidal Israeli armed forces and who must be investigated for possible war crimes
25 Feb 2026
Declassified posted a video of research that identified 2000 British citizens who enlisted to fight in the Israeli military and therefore liable to prosecution for participating in war crimes (genocide and ethnic cleansing and murder of Palestinian civilians). The video noted however that securing a prosecution in the UK could be very hard because of the very limited laws on fighting for a foreign state, such as the genocidal Israeli regime's IDF.
The video also exposed yet another illustration of British double-standards: on the one hand there has been intense investigation and pursuit by UK authorities, such as the police and secret service, of British citizens who fought for groups or armies overseas that were not allies of the British government, and on the other hand, there has been no equivalent investigation or pursuit of those who fought for foreign states that are considered allies of the British. Shockingly, Israel is considered an ally of the UK even though it is committing genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
The video also exposed the lack of records kept by the UK government of its citizens serving in the IDF even though these people could be guilty of war crimes. Nor is there any concern by UK authorities that these criminals might be working in the NHS or with other vulnerable people. It is possible, for example, these people murdered Palestinians who desperately tried to get food from designated aid points.
It is ironic the source of the data was the IDF, but it did not disclose names. In total, 50,000 foreigners enlisted in the Israeli military, from countries including Ukraine, Russia, the USA, and 2000 from the UK.

Green Party motion to formally designate zionism as racism
24 Feb 2026
I watched a video by Flintoff where he interviewed Lubna Speitan and Haim Bresheeth. The subject was a motion (A105) for the Green Party to vote that zionism is racist. Speitan has produced a detailed document on the motion that apparently is available via the Green Party. Bresheeth is a strong supporter of the motion and was very critical of the British for their historical role in the creaton of an Israeli state in Palestine that has led to decades of oppression of Palestinians, ethnic cleansing of Palestine and an apartheid Israeli state.
More information can be found here about Motion 105. Time is of the essence to vote for the motion so it is passed at the Green Party's conference in March. I thought of joining the party to make up the numbers to get the motion passed.

FT.com: UK government suppresses publication of a report on UK court system and trial by jury
24 Feb 2026
FT.com published a piece on the UK government suppressing publication of a review of the UK legal system and in particular the use of juries. Defend our Juries has been campaigning for juries to be used in trials but the government is against this. I sent an email for Tim Crosland at DoJ. In keeping with many people or organisations I write to about Palestine, I don't suppose I will get a reply.
The danger, as I see it, is government-appointed judges will sentence people unjustly to serve the government's interests and not to serve justice for those on trial.
This was evident in the jury trial of several Palestine Action defendants - charges were dismissed - a massive victory for them and a massive defeat for the government and the pro-Israel lobby and the company that manufactures weapons on UK soil for the Israeli regime, Elbit Systems.

UK mainstream media look the other way on Mandelson to retain access to his contacts
23 Feb 2026
An explosive Double Down News video in which Lowkey blows the lid off the mainstream media's cosy and shameful relationship with disgraced "Lord" Peter Mandelson - soon likely to be plain Peter Mandelson, again.
"Shameful" because they knew about him yet turned a blind eye. They are also cowards because all are now hurriedly expressing publicly their naivety that they became so cosy with Mandelson and expressing no knowledge of his true character. They are also hypocrits because they now express horror at his behaviour when they knew of it but remained silent because he served their interests in generating news stories and therefore money, for them.
The mainstream media is a swamp infested with vile shameless and immoral creatures.
This Novara Media video on 10 Feb 2026 reveals why the media did NOT confront Mandelson. Because the media wanted continued access for future news articles. Presenter ("Helena") explains the concept of "mutual destruction" that exists between politics and the media - destroy Mandelson and you also destroy yourself. "It's all a system of mutually assured destruction based upon mutual links with each other" To ensure access, the politician's low-life's past is kept under wraps by the media to preserve the access to his contacts and his stories. That relationship remains until he is of no use to the journos and /or UNTIL he self-destructs as Mandelson has, at which point the media rushes out lies and excuses to deflect criticism for not exposing his past sooner.

Palestinian event at US Embassy
23 Feb 2026
I decided to go to the event mentioned by Obscenity State (OS) on the Flintoff video today (see post below). I did not know how to get there but after a search I got to Vauxhall then caught a bus and got off at the Embassy. It was dark and raining and the area was littered with makeshift barriers because of roadworks all around.
I had no idea where to go; could not see any signposts. I saw an area called "Embassy" so headed in that direction then walked around but no obvious sign of the Embassy or the Palestinian event at 6:30pm. I walked around then by chance I saw some flags and a vehicle covered with images of people and what I thought was an Iranian flag.
I thought it might be the Palestinian event's site. No one was in the van. I also saw a USA flag and some other flags all together. I was confused and unsure what it all meant but it slowly dawned on me that this site was a call to the US for help for the people of Iran. I was very definitely in the wrong place. I took some photos and headed back to Vauxhall underground. It was a wasted journey and a few hours. I later sent an email to OS asking if the event tooik place. No reply so far.

Flintoff on the threat of war by the US against Iran
23 Feb 2026
Crispin Flintoff published a video today of interviews of activist called "Obscenity State" (OS) and Jedaal TV presenter, Ali Alizedeh. The views highlighted the drive by the Israelis to push Trump into a war between the US and Iran as that plays to the aims of the Israelis. It also highlighted the appalling misinformation and encouragement of the western mainstream media to an uprising in Iran and the media's exagerration (by a factor of 10x) of the number who died in the recent protests in Iran.
OS described the moral decay within Amnesty International and other NGOs. She also tried to account for the relative silence over the Iran-US crisis, i.e., where are the street marches and media and politicians such as Corbyn and PSC on Iran?
She mentioned an event today at the US Embassy at 6.30pm that I might attend.

FT.com: more FT bias and favouritism for the US
23 Feb 2026
FT.com published a piece on Mexico's action to combat organised crime. I commented on the bias and favouritism of that article. My comment was immediately published, but for how long? Surprisingly, it also got a lot of recommendations.

FT.com: more biased reporting and propaganda in support of US imperialists

FT.com published a piece on Trump's pivot to being a warmonger. I took offence and posted a comment. It was immediately published, but for how long?
Update: I checked and saw my comment had been removed. I sent an email to FT and to Rachman and included my comment, to complain of the removal (read it below):

Local councillors have not signed divestment letter, but 1000+ have signed
24 Feb 2026
PSC noted in an email sent to me on 23 Feb:
"...more than 1,000 councillors have made our Councillor Pledge for Palestine! The councillors come from across Britain and a wide range of political parties, including roughly 350 from each of Labour and the Greens, more than 100 Liberal Democrats, and hundreds more from the SNP, Plaid Cymru, Your Party, the Conservatives, and independents.
The pledge commits councillors to take steps to:
Our research has found that local council administered pension funds invest more than £12 billion in companies enabling Israel's crimes, including hundreds of millions of pounds invested in the arms companies manufacturing the bombs and bullets used to murder Palestinians.
Sky News reported on the announcement of the councillors who have made the pledge. You can read that here.
If your councillors haven't already made the pledge, will you write to them to let them know this matters to you?
Today, I checked an online list of the 1000+ councillors who had signed the divestment letter. None of the three who represent my ward were on that list. I emailed PSC on 24 Feb to check at their end whether these three had signed and then to tell me.
Today, I also sent these three another email (see below) urging them to respond as time was running out.

Petition calling on Ealing Council to divest from companies supporting Israelis' genocide, reaches 5K signatures and is delivered to the council
23 Feb 2026
PSC has campaigned to stop Ealing Council investing in companies that support the Israeli genocide, apartheid and ethnic cleansing of Palestine. It sent me an update on that campaign, today (see image below). It also requested that I sign letters to local councillors and to the Pension Committee to divest from such companies.
The letter to the Pensions Committee is reproduced below. The letter to the local councillors can be seen in an earlier post. I had sent that letter by email direct to my local councillors (Gary Busuttil of the Liberal Democrat; Gary Malcolm of the Liberal Democrat; Andrew Steed of the Liberal Democrat). It is regrettable none of these three local councillors have not replied to my email to them urging them to vote to divest. Today, I signed and submitted the letter again to these three.
Pension Committee letter:
"To: Ilayda Nijhar, Lauren Wall, Ian Kingston, Ray Wall, Dee Martin, Anthony Young, Yvonne Johnson
re: Divest Ealing Pension Fund from human rights abuses
In the run up to the next Ealing Pension Fund Panel meeting, I am contacting you as a local resident to urge you to take steps to ensure that Ealing Pension Fund is not invested in companies that facilitate and enable Israel's grave breaches of international law. As our local council, your actions should reflect the values of the community they serve, including on human rights and Palestine-related issues. Public opinion is increasingly in support of Palestinian rights and local governments should reflect this in their policies, especially with regards to how the pension fund is spent and invested.
Israel’s ongoing assault on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians - almost half of them children. Over 70% of buildings and infrastructure has been destroyed, while more than 90% of Palestinians in Gaza have been displaced, many of whom multiple times. Palestinians in Gaza are facing imminent famine due to Israel's blockade and its targeting of life-sustaining infrastructure. In July 2024, UN experts reported that “Israel’s intentional and targeted starvation campaign against the Palestinian people is a form of genocidal violence and has resulted in famine across all of Gaza.”
In January 2024, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the world court, handed down an interim ruling affirming there is plausible evidence Israel is committing genocidal acts against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. Israel has refused to adhere to the binding provisional measures ordered by the court. As a State Party to the Genocide Convention, the UK has a binding obligation to employ all means reasonably available to prevent and deter further genocidal acts.
LGPS funds must immediately divest from companies that are complicit in violations of human rights and international law. This includes arms companies supplying weapons and military technology used by Israel in its relentless attacks on Palestinians. You can find a list of companies supplying Israel with weapons and components produced by the American Friends Service Committee here.
Human rights organisations, including the UN Human Rights Council, have demanded that all states end arms transfers to Israel. In addition, UN experts have warned that investors that fail to end financial ties to arms companies supplying Israel “could move from being directly linked to human rights abuses to contributing to them, with repercussions for complicity in potential atrocity crimes”.
Despite this, research by Palestine Solidarity Campaign has found that most LGPS funds hold shares in companies complicit in Israel's violations of international law, including companies supplying Israel with weapons and military technology used in its devastating attacks on Palestinians. The research has found that Ealing Pension Fund has investments in complicit companies of £112,896,000.
PSC's research has also identified that LGPS funds hold investments in companies providing technology and equipment used to maintain Israel’s illegal military occupation, such as its checkpoints and the apartheid wall, and companies conducting business activity in Israel’s illegal settlements, based on stolen Palestinian land.
I urge you to take immediate measures to divest the pension fund from companies complicit in Israel’s grave violations of Palestinian rights.
I look forward to hearing from you about actions you have taken."

FT.com controls the narrative on Iran
22 Feb 2026
I decided to check whether the FT had reported on the Israelis' hand in the Iran protests. First, I searched fro any reports of Mossad's involvement in Iran.
According to this report "Israel’s Mossad tells Iranian protesters ‘We are with you’" including on the ground in Iran. Pompeo said "“Happy New Year to every Iranian in the streets. Also to every Mossad agent walking beside them."
I then searched the FT for its reporting on Mossad's involvement. I found nothing on that except it did mention an Iraninan who claimed the "failed coup" had been: "orchestrated by the CIA and Mossad"
I checked eight articles the FT had displayed on this subject to see which allowed comments and which did not: 4 Feb article; 21 Feb; 21 Feb; 19 Feb (allowed); 19 Feb; 19 Feb (allowed); 19 Feb (allowed); 19 Feb (allowed); 17 Feb (allowed). 5 of 9 allowed comments. That is not a high percentage and does suggest the FT is controlling freedom of speech and controlling the narrative, on a significant minority (44%) of its articles.
That 44% only relates to the articles the FT does publish - consider the articles it blocks from publication let alone blocking comments on them. It should also be remembered that the FT has a further filter: removing published comments - as it did to mine on this subject. a further filter is the framing of articles to highlight one perspective and conceal another.

Greece's hypocrisy and double-standards - it will deal with the US imperialists but not with Russia, but it actually does by shipping Russian oil
24 Feb 2026
My earlier comment about the hypocrisy and double-standards of the Greeks (see 22 Feb post below) was subsequently removed, so I posted another today on the same article. Perhaps that too will be removed.

FT.com: the hypocrisy of the Greeks and the silence of the FT on illegal shipping of Russian oil
22 Feb 2026
FT.com published a piece on Greece opportunistically seeking trade with US over LNG, but it exposes its hypocrisy. My comment was immediately published, but for how long? (I should have written "they make money..." instead of "the make money..."
I then added a second comment - to make the additional point of suspicions the Greeks have engaged in illegal shipping of Russian oil, that the FT did not mention.

Iranian scholar discusses the threat of war on Iran by the warmongering US and Israelis, and its consequences for the world
21 Feb 2026
I came across this in-depth interview by Glenn Diesen of an Iranian scholar (Seyed M Marandi) on the consequences of a war by the western imperialists led by the US, the Israelis, and its allies. He lays the blame for that war on these western warmongers and not on Iran, and he notes that Iran is negotiating to avert war - so the western media cannot say Iran is to blame for the war because it refused to negotiate to avoid war.
He exposes the western media for its propaganda and its support for western imperialists and the Israelis, and the western media's false (exaggerrated) numbers of deaths during the Iran protests. The interview also exposed Israelis' involvement in these protests in Iran, to which the Israelis admit.
The interviewer also exposed western media for attacking independent western media outlets (his own) that interview Iranian people, i.e., the western media is trying to control the narrative and is resorting to smearing independent western media that communicates with Iranians and reports their perspective.
Marandi talked of the collapse (in the aftermath of war) of western economies because the oil supply will be shut off and western businesses will collapse. He predicts Trump will suffer as a consequence of economic collapse across the west caused by the west's warmongering.
He notes the US will not have soldiers on the ground and the US is at a disadvantage because the US cannot afford the massive daily cost of waging war so it has to move quickly whereas Iran can afford to wait because the war will be on its turf. (An analogy is the battle of Agincourt that the French would (I think) have won had they played the waiting game against the English invaders).
Marandi said the western media is not reporting the US's inhumanity over Cuba (see this link). The interviewer noted the hypocrisy of western imperialists who use humanitarianism to "legitimise" their actions (use it as justification for waging wars and regime change), yet its own media does not report (is not allowed to report) on the humanitarian suffering western imperialsists are inflicting on Cuba.

Imperialism, inhumanity, white suppremacy; racism; autocracy, disregard for international law and the US constitution, denial of climate change, brazen personal profiteering; and dismantling of financial oversight, US scientific research, and USAID.

Cutting ties with Amazon - a company complicit in genocide by the Israelis
19 Feb 2026
I used Amazon to sell books online and to buy personal items. Given the complicity of Amazon in the genocide, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing of Palestine, I have resolved to cut my ties completely with Amazon. I already had withdrawn to a large degree and a long time ago because I found it a very frustrating business to deal with - I no longer buy from it and I no longer sell my books or other other books, on its platform.
In support of BDS Israel (see here for info), I want to erase all content on Amazon about me and about my books shown on it. My books can no longer be bought on Amazon but information about me and about them remains publicly visible. I don't want to be associated with a business that is complicit.
This month, I set in motion steps to have that information deleted. As usual when dealing with Amazon staff, progress is awkward and getting to the relevant person is not straight forward. The first person misunderstood my enquiry. The second referred my enquiry to another department. They replied saying the page with information about my books will NOT be removed. I replied saying I did not ask for the page to be removed, just information on it. I managed to delete some information from that page myself but it still appears when I search online. I am hoping after a few days my deletions will be updated across all Amazon systems and then that deleted information will disappear everywhere and permanently. I then have the task of demanding that images and data about my books are also deleted.

Disgusting Israeli settlers with the complicity of Israeli law enforcers, attack peaceful Palestinians and destroy their homes - help Palestinian journalists record the crimes
19 Feb 2026
I came across this video by Flintoff in which he interviewed a courageous and defiant young Palestinian. Mohammad Huraini. He's pictured below dealing with I think an Israeli enforcer.
Huraini talked of the daily intimidation, physical attacks, arson, theft, and checks by the IDF and by Israeli illegal settlers who perpetrate these crimes. He mentioned the surveillance of their 'phones for pictures of resistance by the outside world to the Israelis' genocide, i.e., the Israelis actively prevent any disclosure of the crimes they are committing in the West Bank or any information of the support being given to them by the outside world. That is why the Israedlis have murdered hundreds of Palestinian journalists in Gaza.
The video includes several of these scum beating a person as he/she lay on the ground screaming and helpless. It also showed a fire these settlers had started and the sheep they had stolen. He said the Israeli forces enable and watch as these Israelis commit their crimes i.e., the are complicit in the criminal and violent acts of these settlers.
Huraini spoke of lost Palestinian childhoods because of the constant threat of violence and property theft, and the oppression has continued for decades and stories have been passed down from generation to generation of Palestinians.
He hopes one day that life will be peaceful the beauty of his land and his people will shine and was reassured that there are outsiders such as Flintoff who are concerned about the plight of Palestinians.
Flintoff left a donation link for Hurain - to which I contributed. His video is called:"One day we’ll film the beauty of our land' - brave West Bank journalist speaks out"
The platform was PayPal which I found alarming. A search online showed PayPal has engaged in appalling behaviour towards Palestinians "PayPal blocks transactions and deplatforms Palestinians and supporters simply trying to aid humanitarian relief efforts." said this report in June 2025. The report also said "[shareholders] have sent a letter to PayPal executives urging them open up services to Palestine," and they staged a demonstration.
I guess (hope) PayPal has changed its inhumane ways because my donation to Huraini was allowed to pass through. I would have liked to have boycotted PayPal but on the other hand, the payment was for a good cause and so I went along and paid via PayPal (there was no alternative). The donation was via Chuffed.org. Here is what the Chuffed page said about Huraini's work and his objective:
Mohammad Huraini is facing brutal oppression every single day in his community.
Since the outbreak of Israel's brutal war on Gaza, occupation forces have ramped up their repression of the peaceful residents of Masafer Yatta, a West Bank region where Israel is forcibly evicting Palestinians from their homes to make way for a “military firing zone” - illegal under international law.
His village was recently shown in the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, which documents persistent vicious attacks by extremist Israeli settlers (often backed up by Israeli soldiers) for years, as the occupation tries to frighten Palestinian residents into leaving their homes.
Activists in Masafer Yatta, including Mohammad Huraini are refusing to be scared into leaving their homes. They have been documenting forced evictions and settler attacks since they were children, filming as settlers and the army approach with guns and shoot at the Palestinian residents, before sharing these videos to social media.
You can see Mohammad's vital work on X (@MHuraini) or Instagram (@Mohammad_Hesham_Huraini).
With Israeli aggression ramping up following the outbreak of war, and the government issuing thousands of guns to Israeli settlers, continuing this activism has become far more dangerous and very difficult to sustain.
Mohammad now needs money to rent a car so that they can visit and document the villages who suffer attacks. Having a car is essential to getting to these places quickly as possible, ensuring the attacks are documented for the world to see. These activists are not working with a salary, so the money will also help to cover the living expenses of Mohammad and his team during the three month project.
Now, you can make a real difference in showing the world the reality of what is happening in the West Bank. PLEASE donate to help those who are facing forced eviction and settler attacks every day to continue their work in shining a light on Israeli war crimes in the West Bank.
Without activists showing the world what is happening, these crimes will go unnoticed. Support Mohammad Huraini as he documents daily Israeli crimes in his community.

Mohammad Huraini is facing brutal oppression every single day in his community.
Since the outbreak of Israel's brutal war on Gaza, occupation forces have ramped up their repression of the peaceful residents of Masafer Yatta, a West Bank region where Israel is forcibly evicting Palestinians from their homes to make way for a “military firing zone” - illegal under international law.
His village was recently shown in the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, which documents persistent vicious attacks by extremist Israeli settlers (often backed up by Israeli soldiers) for years, as the occupation tries to frighten Palestinian residents into leaving their homes.
Activists in Masafer Yatta, including Mohammad Huraini are refusing to be scared into leaving their homes. They have been documenting forced evictions and settler attacks since they were children, filming as settlers and the army approach with guns and shoot at the Palestinian residents, before sharing these videos to social media.
You can see Mohammad's vital work on X (@MHuraini) or Instagram (@Mohammad_Hesham_Huraini).
With Israeli aggression ramping up following the outbreak of war, and the government issuing thousands of guns to Israeli settlers, continuing this activism has become far more dangerous and very difficult to sustain.
Mohammad now needs money to rent a car so that they can visit and document the villages who suffer attacks. Having a car is essential to getting to these places quickly as possible, ensuring the attacks are documented for the world to see. These activists are not working with a salary, so the money will also help to cover the living expenses of Mohammad and his team during the three month project.
Now, you can make a real difference in showing the world the reality of what is happening in the West Bank. PLEASE donate to help those who are facing forced eviction and settler attacks every day to continue their work in shining a light on Israeli war crimes in the West Bank.
Without activists showing the world what is happening, these crimes will go unnoticed. Support Mohammad Huraini as he documents daily Israeli crimes in his community.
FT.com censorship: JP Morgan in talks to be banker to inhumane and fake 'board of peace'
19 Feb 2026
FT.com published a piece on JP Morgan being in talks to be banker to the disgusting and inappropriately-named 'board of peace'. Yet again the FT (to its utter shame) blocked comments.
I sent an email to the FT expressing my disgust (see below). The image below is from the article showing the low-lifes who have (presumably) signed-up to join. (I should have written 'you' instead of 'your'). I then sent an email to Dimon using an address I found online (not sure it will get through), and also I have a formal complaints address in Scotland.
This is how enablers, bankers, lawyers, accountants (to name just a few), enable genocide and other atrocities to actually occur. They supply the infrastructure - the services and products. The media and lobbyists are further critical enablers - they spreads false narratives to cover up or twist the facts.
The government creates laws to enable these enablers to act with impunity and laws that crackdown on dissenters, laws that police, lawyers, and the courts enforce with violence and without any consideration of justice ("lawfare").
How can so many be so blinded to upholding human rights and justice? Money and power corrupt people and coercion and legal threats break them.
The money is supplied by Israeli supporters - the billionaires who use the compounding effect to amass fortunes in perpetuity that grow ever larger by the day. They use that intererst to bribe and capture these enablers and to fund political campaigns so they have political power to create the laws that enable the system to operate.
The threats are supplied by Israeli supporters who use the law to theaten the livelihoods and the reputations of people who oppose them.
The veiled threats and other forms of persuasion are supplied by a vast and organised network of lobbyists and campaigners the pro-Israelis have amassed over decades who infiltrate many corners of society. These networks use IT to access databases of personal information on people they see as either being sympathetic to their cause or as an enemy. They use that data to recruit targets or to destroy them. Look at the companies engaged in AI and data capture - many are actively involved in enabling the genocide by the Israelis - Palantir for example.
Money must be taken out of politics; the judiciary must be independent of the government; freedom of speech must be upheld; personal data must be protected; juries must be allowed to decide legal cases; funders, sponsors and conflicts of interest must be disclosed.
