Zionists-only event held inside a jewish place of worship in New York to sell stolen Palestinian land
09 May 2026
I stumbled across a video by Halper in which Blumenthal was talking (11mins 49 sec) about a jewish religious building in New York that is being used for a Palestinian "land theft auction". Blumenthal said:
"they're doing a land theft auction. They are promoting they are authorizing and engaging in violent colonialism inside a synagogue and the police have like wall have cordoned off a two or three block radius and only visibly Jewish people are allowed inside the cord and they've created some kind of like Jews only zone to ward off protesters while the what is it the city council is uh voted almost unanimously that you can't protest near a synagogue. So, and like synagogues are being used as cover for violent colonialism.
They're linking Judaism to violent colonialism, then howling anti-semitism anytime anyone justifiably protests. And then they enact their puppets in any legislature or city council to limit our first amendment rights to take our rights away. And that's how most I mean anyone who's paying attention sees it, but Western media reports it as a tense scene as a synagogue is protested. uh anti-semitism allegations."
Halper added: "it is so disgusting for them [the zionist movement] to obviously like stand behind a synagogue in order to try to shield their genocidal uh real estate land grab. I mean what could be more disgusting?"
It is shocking that the NY mayor, Mamdani, has not done anything more than give lip service to this event.
"While Mayor Zohran Mamdani criticized Tuesday’s real estate event, his words rung hollow when the NYPD brutalized New Yorkers for standing up against stolen Palestinian land sales in our neighborhoods, and when there is no response to actionable calls for accountability." said this article.
Secular Talk posted a video about the the "organised crime" event, including marketing material about the settlements in the West Bank.

FT.com - brazen FT propaganda by omission over the restriction on the flow of oil
09 May 2026
FT.com published a piece that said - prominently - that Iran was holding up oil. It did not mention the US blockade is holding up oil. That omission was a brazen illustration of propaganda by omission. My comment was published.
I subsequently posted four more comments, all published, on other points in this piece. In the second comment below (about sustaining the existing high level), I should have added that the FT is supporting such US propaganda because it did not ask for or provide an explanation of that statement, i.e., the FT must take some of the criticism not only the person who made it - the guy from the US think tank.

Rutgers university blocks a pro-Palestinian alumni from speaking at a graduation ceremony because his posts opposed the beliefs of a handful of graduates
08 May 2026
I stumbled across an interview by Zeteo of Rami Elghandour.
Elghandour has been prevented from presenting at a graduate ceremony at Rutgers university because some students expressed a concern that his "social media posts oppose their beliefs". He mentioned the number of these students might be a handful, versus almost 1000 students who will be at the graduation ceremony. The particular posts were not stated. I suspect they relate to Palestine and the Israelis' genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
Elghandour is supportive of Palestine and is an executive producer of a film about the tragic murder by the Israelis of the Palestinian, Hind Rajab.
I sent Elghandour a message (link) with ideas to get round being "cancelled".
I just heard the rest of his interview and he said he will record and distribute his speech. That is similar to what I have suggested to him.
I think the person who removed him was directed by others and was not acting alone. Who were those people? Was it the senior managers of the university? Were they pressured to act by people who give money to the university? Were those donors pro-Israelis? Was the university pressured by politicians funded by pro-Israelis?
I think the reason for removing Elghandour is more than a handful of students being miffed. I think these students informed pro-Israelis who then informed the pro-Israeli donors to the university who then told their legal attack dogs to put pressure on the university to remove him or else they would cut donations to the university. As so often, decisions and actions are determined by money not by principles, morals and ethics.

Local council elections - bad news
08 May 2026
I just checked the local election results in my ward and saw the same three councillors were re-elected. I am disgusted and had hoped they'd been kicked out. I dislike these three reprobates because none of them had signed the Pledge for Palestine - and none had shown me the courtesy of a reply. So much for local politicians serving local people. I voted for the only person out of 15 candidates who had signed the Pledge, but she got relatively few votes.
There was good and bad news on a wider scale: good because Labour lost a lot of seats, and bad because the racist Reform party got a lot of additional seats. Another sore point is it seems Starmer is clinging on to his premiereship even after such a major loss.

The decline in support for the apartheid state of Israel, but a few die-hards remain loyal
08 May 2026
I stumbled upon this video that described the changeing relationship of many nations with the apartheid state of Israel.
Post WWII, the white nations of the world (Europe, US, Australia primarily) and the minnow nations that are parasites of these hosts (so they essentially copy what their hosts do in relation to Israel) all had close ties with the apartheid state.
Those alliances have changed over time and some countries are no longer loyal - turned off by scenes of genocide, ethnic cleansing and barbarity perpetrated by the Israelis in Palestine. A few die-hards remain, however: the US, UK, and Germany.
Newcomers that have chosen to support the apartheid state are: Brazil, Hungary, and India. A common trait of these three is they are led by autocrats. India is largely comprised of Hindus and the country is, or was, called Hindustan.
Modi has made a grave immoral and ethical mistakle by forming an alliance with a regime that is barbaric and which regards Palestinians as sub-human.
Modi's alliance might reflect a similar mindset between the Israelis and the hindus. Hindu nationalism is strong in India, and the hindu religion is intrinsically caste-based with the brahmins at the top and the dalits at the bottom of the scale.
The video noted how two of those three autocrats have now gone, in Hungary and in Brazil. The video says the Israelis pre-empted a decline in international support for them by forming peaceful relations with its neighbours. The video, however, ends by saying that because of the decline in alliances, the warning might be on the wall for the apartheid state.
The Israeli state has shown its belligerence by defying Trump, as though it no longer cares for the US's support. It might be biting the hand that has fed it for decades with hundreds of billions of dollars of aid including weapons and ammunition.

The whiff of the abuse of legal and political power in prosecuting Palestine Action defendants
08 May 2026
I stumbled across a video by Halper in which Blumenthal was talking about a case going through UK courts currently involving Palestine Action defendants. I was aware of the cases in general against these people and of the extreme steps taken to prevent the defendants from telling their side of the story to the jury. It seems to me that a defendant or their legal adviser, should be allowed to make their case so for a judge to prevent this is unjust and perhaps even illegal.
I decided to contact the Good Law Project (GLP) to see of they could act in some way to publicise this possible abuse of the English legal system. My online contact form to GLP is here. I asked GLP for a reply. I got an automated reply acknowledging receipt of my message and they warned me that I won't get a further reply if: "we have considered your email but it isn’t something with which we can assist."
Blumenthal's Grayzone channel has published a couple of articles on the potential abuse of legal procedure (link; link).
The prosecution of these cases gives off a stink of the abuse of power - legal and political - in order to serve the Israeli lobby's agenda - which is to stifle support for Palestinians and support the Israeli agenda.
Perhaps a time will come when the public will learn whether these defendants were served justice or a miscarriage of justice. In the meantime, the defendants are in danger.

FT.com - more FT propaganda by omission
08 May 2026
FT.com published a piece on the u-turn of Operation Freedom by Trump. The FT did not mention US attacks that murdered five civilians. That was reported online elsewhere on 05 May so the FT had time to mention this attack, but did not report it in the article. The FT's article is therefore another example of FT propaganda by omission; of the FT not providing an alternative perspective that challenges or refutes the US perspective; and the FT regurgitating the US narrative. My comment was published.

FT.com - how the US lies, misleads and deflects from reality

FT.com published a piece on the u-turn of Operation Freedom by Trump. I think it exposes another lie by him and it also illustrates the cunning manner in which the White House crafts its message to mislead or deflect from what is reality.

Israeli inhumanity and depravity continues to cause malnutrition and death of thousands of Palestinian women, children, and babies
08 May 2026
The Cradle published a piece on the plight of Palestinians malnourished by Israeli inhumanity and a report compiled by MSF.
"MSF [Doctors without borders] traces a critical turning point to late May 2025, when Israel slashed the number of food distribution points from roughly 400 to just four, funneling what remained through its own Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
The deliberate strangling of aid sites forced able-bodied men in Gaza to make long, treacherous journeys and race for what little aid was being given out, only to be ambushed by direct Israeli and US mercenary fire at US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) sites. Miscarriages spiked in the months that followed the GHF shutdown,...Since January 2024, MSF has admitted 4,950 children under 15 for acute malnutrition, alongside 3,482 pregnant and breastfeeding women...The UN declared famine in Gaza in August 2025 due to the Israeli blockade of the strip, the first such declaration ever made in West Asia."
The MSF report "documented sharp increases in infant mortality, premature birth, and treatment abandonment, coinciding directly with periods of intensified Israeli aid blockades and siege warfare." during the period in Gaza from late 2024 to early 2026 inclusive.
I stumbled across this article and I posted a comment to the article congratulating The Cradle for publicising this tragedy because I had not seen any other media outlet talk of it.

FT.com - more FT propaganda by omission to support the US-Israeli Axis of Evil
07 May 2026
This FT.com article (link) was part of a collection of pieces that did not allow any comments.
It is another example of the FT regurgitating the US line and presenting only the US perspective - no Iranian perspective on it.
Today, I came across a Fars news agency piece that refuted the US story regurgitated by the FT, so the FT could have provided a challenge and an opposing perspective in its article if it were not a propaganda mouthpiece for the Trump regime.
Iran’s "Qalibaf dismissed a recent report by Axios about a supposed impending arrangement between Tehran and Washington, describing it as misleading and part of recurring fake media narratives originating in the United States." wrote Fars news agency on 07 May (at 07:30am UK time).
The FT in its 06 May 2026 article (link) titled: "Israel strikes Beirut for first time since ceasefire" and a subtitle: "Israeli forces have continued to hit targets in the south of the country..."
There is no ceasefire in the normal sense of the word.
The FT said: "Since the ceasefire, Israel has carried out near-daily barrages of air strikes, primarily on southern Lebanon," and said "the ceasefire terms allow it [the Israelis] to continue striking Hizbollah targets that it says pose an immediate threat." This get out clause, if it exists, is an excuse for the Israelis to continue to murder Lebanese people and destroy and occupy their land, and they have done so.
See this video and link for confirmation of those Israeli attacks.
On 6 May, I sent an email to the FT criticising it for not allowing comments on this article.
It is also shocking, but typical of the murderous and barbaric Israelis, to bomb an area (a suburb of Beirut) that is likely to contain civilians, and just to eliminate one person, and to strike without warning. There is no independent verification that the Israelis were actually successful in murdering that person. Nor is there any mention in reports I saw of the number of how many innocent civilians were murdered or injured in that Israeli bomb attack in Beirut. Thsi report by the Cradle said the attack "resulted in one death and multiple injuries."

The reason behind Trump's sudden u-turn on Operation Freedom
07 May 2026
This video discussed why Trump paused his Operation Freedom (OF) just a few days after it was announced - ostensibly to allow more time for discussing negotiations. The U-turn was more likely because the Saudis have blocked the US from access to Saudi air and land, which presumably has affected Trump's ability to carry out OF.
Regarding negotiations with Iran, "Qalibaf dismissed a recent report by Axios about a supposed impending arrangement between Tehran and Washington, describing it as misleading and part of recurring fake media narratives originating in the United States." wrote Fars news agency on 07 May.
The video also discussed the manipulation of markets by Trump's announcements, and why Trump was so silent on the Saudi ban. The reason for that silence was attributed to the massive money being paid to the Trumps by the Saudis so they are tight-lipped to ensure the continued flow of that cash. That silence contrasts with Trump's vitreolic outbursts at European leaders who refuse to support his war on Iran, because they are not paying him.

Instagram's bias for Israelis and aversion to Palestinians
07 May 2026
I had thought of using Instagram for marketing purposes but I first took a look to see how it compares to some US companies, such as the shameful Amazon and Palantir in its support of the Israelis
According to this article, Instagram is also an active supporter of the Israelis:
"there is plenty of proof that systematic censorship applies, mainly for pro-Palestinian stories."
"According to several investigations and groups like Human Rights Watch, Meta is removing nonviolent posts that back Palestine by using the excuse of moderation. Even though pro-Israel groups are more likely to appear, Palestinian voices tend to get removed through these filters."
Instagrams shows its pro-Israel bias in multiple ways - it favours Israeli content; suppresses pro-Palestinian content; shadowbanding; slow appeals process.
I therefore decided to give Instagram a miss, and also because it is owned by Meta - a company with a bad reputation, its association with the military, and its association with Trump - the domestic and international terrorist.

I asked a question (see image) highlighting the FT's propaganda by omission - it repeatedly omits mention of the involvement of the Israelis in this war.

UK political parties and the UK police defame pro-Palestinian marchers and spread a false narrative
07 May 2026
I saw this video by Jones interviewing Nineham about the defamatory mischaracterisation of the pro-Palestine marches by none other than the UK police commissioner, Rowley. Nineham says the UK government is conflating the Israeli regime with jews generally. He mentioned legal action is being considered about Rowley's defamatory comments. Rowley's trope was regurgitated by the UK Tory leader:
"every week [pro-Palestine marchers] marching in front of synagogues. People who are visibly Jewish harassed and abused. The Tommy Robinson marches often uh turn into violence. Other groups turn up. They get into a squabble. Police officers are hurt." said the Tory leader "Badenock". She is spewing lies about the pro-Palestine marches. She has been cast from the same mould as Patel, Braverman, Starmer and Rowley, to name just a few.
Nineham contrasted the concerted and intense and false attacks by the UK establishment on pro-Palestinians with their lack of criticism that should be directed, but is not, at the overtly racist and threatening behaviour of Robinson and his supporters who will be marching on the SAME day as the march in support of Palestinians (16 May 2026 in central London).

Israelis are probably behind the recent spate of 'antisemitic' attacks to curb pro-Palestinian support and to attack Iran
07 May 2026
Blumenthal said on Halper's video that the spate of attacks around the world are staged and part of an organised attacks to smear Iran and popular support for Palestine.
Kier Starmer, the UK mainstream media and the UK police are actively supporting or accepting this misinformation and smear campaign by presenting the attacks as antisemitism and coordinated by Iran.
Also alarming is Starmer's and the UK police's association of the recent attacks with support for Palestinian and to then use that connection to curb pro-Palestinian action (link; link) It is shameful to make the connection in the first place and then to use that false connection as a weapon to curb pro-Palestinian support, such as marches and rallies. It is the same tactic used to falsely associate criticism of Israelis with antisemitism.
The true source of these attacks is likely to be the Israelis, according to Blumenthal, who says the people arrested for such attacks are staged actors interested in money not political or religious ideologies.
"I think Israeli intelligence is involved in one way or another here. I don't know. I can't I can't prove how they're involved, but it seems almost certain to me that Israeli intelligence is behind the telegram channel claiming credit for all these attacks on behalf of Iran."
"Australian police investigated it [an attack on a jewish building] and Albani came out with a statement declaring these are paid actors. He actually said paid actors are behind these attacks. And what he meant was criminal elements were being paid by crypto by a foreign entity to attack synagogues in a half-hazard way."
"Albani recognized a Palestinian state or announced his intention to do so. These attacks started happening in Australia."
Here is a link to a 28 Mar 2026 article in Grayzone by Reed about the spate of attacks and who is responsible for them (link).
Blumenthal noted how media outlets reported an attack on a former jewish building. These media reports unanimously failed to say the building is now an islamic building, i.e., they highlighted the outdated jewish angle but not its current status of the building, because that key information is inconsistent with the false narrative (propaganda) they are spreading. (link)
Blumenthal highlighted the covert plan linking these attacks and the rise of Starmer in UK politics
"this is all about restoring control and they're restoring control ultimately on behalf of a foreign apartheid entity [the Israeli apartheid state] and they're doing it through the courts with Palestine action just shredding enshrined British rights like jury equity and they're also doing it through...exploiting every opport opportunity"
Iran's response to the smears was illustrated in a 06 May report by Iranian news channel, Fars:
"The Embassy categorically rejects these baseless allegations of antisemitism directed at the Islamic Republic of Iran,"
"In a sharp counter-accusation, the embassy said, "These groundless allegations against Iran are raised notwithstanding the fact that, over the past decades—particularly in recent years—individuals and leaders of terrorist groups and organizations responsible for numerous crimes against the Iranian people have been freely active in the United Kingdom and have made use of facilities and resources in that country to conduct terrorist activities against the Islamic Republic of Iran."
"The protest came after Prime Minister Keir Starmer accused Iran without evidence of encouraging anti-Semitism in Britain, stating authorities were investigating whether a foreign state was behind recent attacks on the Jewish community, including an arson incident at a former synagogue in East London."
Blumenthal said on Halper's video that the spate of attacks around the world are staged and part of an organised attacks to smear Iran and popular support for Palestine.
Kier Starmer, the UK mainstream media and the UK police are actively supporting or accepting this misinformation and smear campaign by presenting the attacks as antisemitism and coordinated by Iran.
Also alarming is Starmer's and the UK police's association of the recent attacks with support for Palestinian and to then use that connection to curb pro-Palestinian action (link; link) It is shameful to make the connection in the first place and then to use that false connection as a weapon to curb pro-Palestinian support, such as marches and rallies. It is the same tactic used to falsely associate criticism of Israelis with antisemitism.

The US government and captured media are not credible
"it's one unending sort of flow of crap that comes out of the White House. I don't think I don't think anybody with a brain is going to believe anything that the White House says anymore.

A new book on the US media's biased reporting of the Gaza genocide
05 May 2026
I stumbled upon this book on how the US media presented a false narrative of the Israeli genocide of Palestinians and the ethnic cleansing of Gaza. It compares the reporting by the US establishment media, social media, and international media. It exposes the complicity of the US mainstream media - not that that was a secret. The same publisher has several other books about Palestine.

Depraved Netanyahu is more likely to launch a nuclear strike than Iran
05 May 2026
Disgusting western politicians and Netanyahu often smear the Iranians as lacking the responsibility and cool heads needed to hold a nuclear bomb. That rhetoric has been turned on its head by the rabid warmonger and barbarian, Netanyahu.
Ray McGovern said on a Dore video that there is a chance Netanyahu could launch a nuclear strike on Iran if Iran resumes bombing of Israel.
"if Trump does finally lean on the Israelis, then there's some chance the Israelis, even in dire straits, will not do the worst. That's what I think they're really concerned about, that Netanyahu would resort to using some of those nuclear weapons." McGovern said.
The Israelis have further illustrated their depravity and inhumanity by murdering their own rather than let them be taken hostage.

US betrayed Gulf state allies in favour of protecting Israelis

"the US prioritized missile defense for Israel rather than than our Gulf allies. So we we showed that the US military guarantee over our Gulf allies uh was really you know very shoddy and and unreliable."

A shameful lack of support for the Palestinians from local council candidates
05 May 2026
I checked who of the 15 candidates in my ward had signed the Pledge for Palestine. Only one had signed the pledge. A disgusting lack of support for Palestine. The three reprobates from the Lib Dems still have not signed even after I tried very hard to get them to sign. They did not show me the basic courtesy of a reply until after I had complained about them to the party.
Two others who have not signed belong to the Green Party, so I sent an urgent email for their attention asking them why they have not signed. I am allowed three votes so I shall definitely vote for the one who signed the pledge. I might vote for the two from the Green Party just to help keep the wretched Labout and Lib Dems out of power.

FT.com - FT downplaying Iranian attack on UAE oil facility
05 May 2026
The FT reported (updated today): "The United Arab Emirates also said it had intercepted Iranian missiles, although a drone strike hit a petrochemical site in Fujairah and a ship was set ablaze off the Emirati coast." It is notable that neither the US nor Iran has admitted to the strikes on the UAE oil facility.
The attack on the oil facility was reported by multiple independent media online sites with detail and video footage of the facility damaged and on fire (see, for example, this video by Breaking Points).
By comparison, the FT did nothing more than write a single sentence, no images, no details, and which was part of a very long collation of articles that did not allow comments.
This video showed a chart of the oil price and showed that the oil price fell from the previous day, i.e., there was no concern over the missiles launched by Iran nor the direct hit to the oil facility in UAE. That facility or facilities, pumped out 1.7m barrels a day so it is a significant loss if it is fully out of action.
Media reports also noted that Trump and his syciphants were going out of their way to say the missile attacks by Iran were not significant and that they did not breach the ceasefire. In other words, the US is going out of its way to say the ceasefire has not ended and they were, like the FT, downplaying the missile attacks. Trump is bragging that the US market is booming.
It appears to me that the FT and the US have downplayed the escalation seen in the last 24 hours to keep a lid on the oil price. This is consistent with the oil price movement over the last 24 hours: it has fallen from $114 to $109 a barrel, which is the opposite of what would be expected. It seems to me the US and FT are manipulating the propaganda to manage the oil price. Another possible reason why Trump is saying the ceasefire has not been ended is because if it did end, then Trump would probably have to get Congress approval to continue the war.

Trying to make sense of the US's latest actions in Hormuz
05 May 2026
Preamble: The US CentComm has claimed that two US-flagged merchant vessels passed through Hormuz. The US is embarking on Project Freedom to guide (not physically escort but perhaps provide ships with a military protective umbrella) through Hormuz. The support is, said Trump, for "humanitarian" reasons. That humanitarian reason is almost certainly to be false, and echoes the lies Trump spewed before the war on Iran started on 28 Feb to encourage Iranian protests against the regime.
The US hit some Iranian cargo vessels (not military vessels) and five civilians people were murdered in those US attacks. A UAE oil installation was hit but it is not clear who is claiming responsibility for the attacks. Iran has fired at a US military vessel but it did not strike it.
Diesen mentioned in his interview of Marandi, that it makes no sense for Trump to try to escort ships through Hormuz when he claims the US blockade is effective and when there is a ceasefire in place and some talk of negotiations.
Trump might have undertaken these moves to probe Iran - to see how it would react to such provocation - might Iran cave or might it attack? When Iran did attack, Trump got his answer and backtracked and did not make a song and dance about Iran's response and he was careful to keep the ceasefire intact, all signs, said Diesen, of someone who is probing.
Diesen also observed that:
"it's obligatory [for westerners] to hate opponents whether it's the Iranians, the Russians, the Chinese and I think this is how the expert class is formed [and used]...to maintain and manage the narrative...[and a] very important part of the narrative that they [the adversaries such as Iran] are evil and weak."
Diesen also cited the work of Victor Klemperer to make the observation that the oppressors talk of the victims' dual and opposing traits: on the one hand victims are inferior but on the other, the victims have the ability (superiority) to destroy civilisation so the oppressors need to attack the victims. Diesen said this duality had been applied by the west against the jews by the Germans in WWII, and now by the west against Iran, China, and Russia.
Apparently, according to the US and the Israelis, Iranians are sub-human and weak and backward, yet on the other hand, the US ad the Israelis and the west all feel compelled to destoy Iran because the say Iran is a threat to civilisation. How can Iran be a threat to civilisation when it is sub-human and weak and inferior? Diesen attributes this duality imagined by westerners to the consequence of 500 years of western dominance making westerners delusional. "five centuries of western dominance that it [westerners] can't help but to fuel some self-d delusion and they [westerners] often end up with this two views [about the victims being both weak and strong]"
Mirandi said the centuries of western dominance meant they were incapable of changing their mindset even when the facts told westerners that their prior beliefs were unreal. Marandi gives the examples of westerners being surprised by the abiliy of Iran to retaliate and to stand up to the west, yet the west continued to regard Iran as inferior and weak and incapable: "when [surprisingly] Iran came out on top, that didn't change the mentality [of the westerners]." said Marandi.

Steve Reed - Starmer's pro-Israel "attack dog"
04 May 2026
A Double Down News video in which reporter Paul Holden exposes Steve Reed - a Starmer "attack dog" who is a staunch pro-Israeli, is funded by the pro-Israel lobby, a member of LFI, and makes questionable anti-semitism claims that damage people's lives, careers or reputations.
Holden describes how Reed and McSweeney - another troublemaker and Starmer ally, schemed to get rid of Corbyn using claims of antisemitism. The pair were part of an organisation that was funded by a pro-Israeli and which broke the law by failing to disclose a massive amount of donations to it.
"[They] hashed a two-phase plan which ...would undermine the democratically elected leadership of Jeremy Corbyn,". Their plan worked and Starmer, another staunch pro-Israeli, was put in Corbyn's place.

Morgan exposed by Marandi on air for his deafening silence on Israeli ethno-supremacy
02 May 2026
Dore played a clip of Piers Morgan being exposed as a coward. He squirmed out of answering a question Marandi asked Morgan: Is a regime [the Israeli regime] based on ethno-supremacy legitimate or not? Morgan froze and said nothing for a long time then sputtered that he did not understand what Marandi meant. He didn't ask for clarification or help to understand the question. His silent response spoke volumes. I believe he understood the question but refused to answer it either because he is a coward or because he is pro-Israel so does not want to say or admit anything that is critical of the Israelis or the regime.
Dore played lots of clips that prove the US-Israeli Axis of Evil had incited violent protests by supplying weapons and masquerading as Iranians shooting at the authorities

Details emerge of the destroyed US bases in Gulf states
02 May 2026
Haiphong interviewed Sleboda.
US moved US military personnel from destroyed US bases to civilian hotels. Using civilians as a shield is a war crime by the US. US media did not admit this was a war crime and said the personnel were working remotely to run the war - which is farcical.
The destroyed bases included destroying radar facilities. Without radar the US lost its ability to defend and carry out offensive attacks so the destruction was extremely expensive and signficant and it will take years to replace these radars.
The Iranians used a massively old jet to attack these bases (an F5), disproving the US propaganda that it has destroyed the Iranian airforce.
Sleboda said the 12-day war on Iran in Jun 2025 ended because the US demanded a ceasefire because they were short on missiles. Iran agreed to a ceasefire. US missile stocks were low at that time of the Jun 2025 war on Iran so for the US to attack Iran again (28 Feb 2026) given its low stock of arms, is surprising.
He says more than 50 vessels have left Hormuz in a week so the US blockade is a PR stunt and has been ineffective. It has been ineffective also because US ships are 350 km away from Iran to avoid Iranian missiles.

An insight into how the pro-Israelis tried to silence Tik Tok and the abhorrent propaganda of Axel-Springer's Dopfner
02 May 2026
Breaking Points interviewed a former employee at Tik Tok who exposed the intense pressure applied by the pro-Israeli lobby following 7 Oct 2023. Tik Tok had been showing images of the atrocities and destruction perpetrated by the Israelis in Palestine (Gaza). The Young Turks (Uygur) then interviewed Breaking Points about that interview with the Tik Tok guy.
Unfortunately, the employee did not explain what he meant by pro-Israeli "pressure" on Tik Tok and Breaking Points did not ask for an explanation. The intense pressure might have been to remove the coverage of Gaza or threats to shut down Tik Tok. Shutting down Tik Tok appears to be the danger the employee referred to because he said "the biggest risk to West Profit at the current moment is the pro-Israel perspective uh threatening to participate in the efforts to ban the platform."
Uygur was more direct, saying the pro-Israelis threaten the company (Tik Tok) and its employees if they do not take a pro-Israeli stance in their reporting.
"if anyone is critical of Israel, they uh put a world of pressure on them. And in this case, the pressure was we're going to destroy your company. " "they [pro-Israeli lobby] hate new media for bursting the bubble that they [pro-Israeli lobby] had created here in America." said Uygur.
Uygur then described the rabid pro-Israeli ceo of Axel-Springer (Dopfner) that has acquired Politico and the internal conflict because Dopfner is pressuring staff to be pro-Israel or else get out and he is spreading anti-Iranian propaganda. Read this 30 Apr 2026 MEE article about Dopfner and his deep-rooted and intense antipathy for Iranians that is matched by his support for the Israelis.

Elliott hedge fund likens war on Iran to a war against Nazis
01 May 2026
FT published a piece about the Elliott hedge fund likening the war on Iran to the war against the Nazis, i.e., the fund is likening Iran to the Nazis of WWII. It also called for a pre-emptive strike to preventy Iran from launching a nuclear missile.
It is a disgusting series of comments. Like cowards, the fund has not put a name to the document's author - a letter to its investors. Its likely author is Singer - a zealous pro-Israeli.

It is a disgusting series of comments. Like cowards, the fund has not put a name to the document's author - a letter to its investors. Its likely author is Singer - a zealous pro-Israeli.

Excellent uncovering of the lies spewed by Americans about Iranians that twists the truth 180 degrees
01 May 2026
Henningsen said in his interview by Haiphong today that there has been very little reporting in the US mainstream media of the fact that Iran has destroyed the US bases in the Gulf states, and that what has been reported has been very much after the events. He said the media has closed ranks on not reporting the loss of these bases, for national security reasons, he says. The non-reporting has protected Trump politically.
Later in the video, he added another cover-up by the US mainstream media - the disastrous attempot to steal Iran's uranium.
He mentioned six aspects in which Trump has failed:
The video played a clip of a low-life "Trumpster" called Larry Kudlow spewing vile rhetoric to a Fox News host:
"look, this is the most gruesome lot of people running this country [Iran] probably since the Nazis in the 1930s, in the 1940s. What Trump has done is what no other president in modern times has done...a small price to pay in order to extinguish this gruesome government which is so threatening nuclear power and uh terrorist power. It has to be done right now."
Kudlow did not say the same about Trump or Netanyahu - two domestic and international terrorists guilty of genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine. The Israelis are razing South Lebanon to the ground and gloating about it. Had he directed his venom at Trump and Netanyahu, he would have been telling the truth, but the truth is anathema to these Trump sycophants.
Henningsen made a key eye-opener for me, that the US needs the Germans because they provide essential support for the US and the Israelis to pursue their imperialism in West Asia. The same applies to the use of Cyprus. "without Germany, the US wouldn't be able to prosecute this war against Iran."
Transcript of what Henningsen said about who the real terrorists are:
"The gaslighting is incredible.
He's saying they're calling Iran a terrorist state. Uh I don't think any anybody can argue looking at what Israel is doing right now in South Lebanon, another genocide, raising whole, you know, historic villages and Christian holy sites to the ground and then gloating on social media with the IDF soldiers doing selfies about destroying all these ancient uh Lebanese civilizations uh in South Lebanon. Uh that's terrorism. uh the United States taking out leader Cuddlo's bragging that we're going to assassinate the leadership and the future leadership of Iran in the next wave of attacks uh because if if they don't comply with our demands is that not state terrorism so between the US and Israel they are involved in incredible amounts of state terrorism not to mention they're funding actual terrorists the mek jundala they tried it with the uh uh Iranian Kurdish uh uprising that fell flat on its face.
How much did that cost the US government that failed operation? Who knows? We'll never know. Billions of dollars in black funds. Who knows? But the US is actively funding terror and Israel supporting a terrorist regime in Damascus. The US is supporting a terrorist regime in Damascus. So this idea that Iran is somehow uh the number one state sponsor of terror, it just doesn't comport with the facts at all. It's the opposite. So this is more gaslighting by the US. He's calling them Nazis. These are like Nazis. This is like I hear Mark Lavine and others especially on Fox using this rotating talking point. The Nazis, the modern day equivalent of the Nazis who basically laid waste to the League of Nations and the international uh international law as it was uh prior to 1945. Who's doing that right now? who who is launching undeclared wars of aggression that are or undermining the international system law and so forth using piracy globally in order to uh strongarm uh countries like uh you know seizing and Russian and Venezuelan oil tankers abducting heads of state you know all these things that you might even accuse Germany of having done although Germany didn't do half of that uh in in the runup or even during World War II That's what the US is doing. That's what Israel is doing. So, they're a lot closer to quote Nazi behavior. And and let's just not even mention the fact that Israel is running an apartheid state. They're forcibly starving uh Palestinians. They're they're forcing forcibly displacing, ethnically cleansing South Lebanon. Now, it wasn't enough to run a genocide in Gaza and in the West Bank. They're doing it in South Lebanon, too. So the Israel is running a genocide on three fronts. Okay, that's even ambitious for the Nazis during World Sorry to to point out the obvious.
The United States is in full partnership and backing of that. So that's just more of the gaslighting from people like Larry Cud Cuddlo and Fox. And so I mean it's the the this is the propaganda is
designed to get the American public to think that this is a just war that this is an enemy of the US that they want to destroy the West and this is an evil regime and so forth. That that that's all this what this propaganda is for.
It's very important because it's a very thin veneer of support, especially in this war, very unpopular, illegal war that's being waged by by the United States and Israel. Very, very unpopular with catastrophic effects. And this guy will go there on national cable television and say, you know, tighten your belt, folks. It's going to be, you know, don't complain about gas prices.
This is Trump's attitude as well. It's going to be short-term paying for long-term gain. What is the long-term gain, by the way? Oh, it's a nuclear-free Middle East. Well, no.
Iran's not pursuing a nuclear weapon.
That's a straw man gaslighting propaganda argument that's being used on heavy rotation by Israel and the US for years now. In fact, that's the reason that talking point was used for the US to unilaterally withdraw from the JCPA, Iran nuclear deal that set the table for the war which we're seeing now was a result of that talking point when when the reality is and again every accusation is a confession with these people. Israel is the biggest nuclear threat in West Asia because they're not even a signatory to the uh non-prololiferation treaty. they're allowed to have an undeclared secret nuclear arsenal and nobody says a damn word about it uh in the US or or Europe and and and and so that's the whole the whole nuclear talking point is a complete uh straw man and that and that's like every other fake WMD argument the United States uses to launch wars against Iraq or Syria uh or Libya. Um, this is what we have here. Another fake WMDR, but it's it's not the centerpiece though that it's so weak. They have to couch it with all these others. And then the other one is, oh, the Iranians are killing their own people that these are tools of repression, their police force, the basge. We hear General Keane saying this, the Bash and the IRGC repressing the people and and Lindsey Graham and everybody else. And that they've killed 40,000 of their own people. That's a complete fabricated number that came out of CIA and State Department, National Endowment for Democracy funded fake Iranian human rights NOS's all based in New York City or Toronto or Washington DC or like right down the road, one of them from Langley, Virginia. I mean, give us a break at this point. completely fake, fabricated, categorically, I can say that with 100% uh confidence, having looked at uh the actual evidence of the so-called uh democratic protests, which were really US uh and Israeli directed riots and with armed the US trafficked weapons into Iran. Trump admitted it when he was
on one of his bragging sprees trying to big up his ego. He for for whatever reason boasted about trafficking arms to the so-called peaceful protesters. Trump said that a couple weeks ago. So, uh,
it's obvious what the real story is to anybody that's actually looking at the providence of these claims, but they're so important, Danny, because those propaganda talking points again are used to sell to the uh the American public that this is even if they don't agree, it's still justified because it's an quote evil regime. The reality is the US and Israel are the evil regimes in this story. That's obvious at this point to anybody that's honest, that's actually looking at the evidence, that's that's doing this objectively and empirically.
It's beyond an argument at this point. It's so obvious."
