ICC's Khan must go
31 May 2026
Electronic Intafada interviewed Rabbani about his call for the ICC prosecutor, Khan, to resign. The basic reason is he is a stooge of the west and the Israelis. This is apparent because he has not stood up for the Palestinians and he has been noticeably less enthusiastic in supporet for them than he has been in relation the Ukraine - Russia war. He was forced to issue warrants for Israelis to avoid tarnishing the credibility and standing of the ICC, and those warrants triggered a backlash by the Israelis against him and the subsequent investigation and harrassment of him.
Rabbani has written a book on Gaza (Gaza Apocalypse).
"Experts seeking insight on the Middle East have long turned to Mouin Rabbani, whose decades as a researcher and political analyst have included positions at the Palestinian human rights group Al Haq, the International Crisis Group, and the United Nations.
Since October 2023, Rabbani has attracted a global public following as a go-to guide to Israel's destruction of Gaza and the cascading regional chaos. Whether parsing breaking news, elucidating deeper dynamics, or dispatching apologists for US and Israeli aggression, Rabbani brings rich historical perspective and a refined political judgment—all expressed in his unflappable demeanour through muscular prose and with mordant wit.
Gaza Apocalypse presents Rabbani's real-time commentaries on the Gaza genocide as it unfolded. It is a record of expertise in action, as a leading Palestinian intellectual intervenes assiduously to make sense of, and inform the global movement against, an epochal catastrophe and crime."
He talks of how Israelis' allies have been MORE supportive of the Israelis than allies of Palestine has been supportive of Palestinians. He adds that the Palestinans needs to regroup and unite with a single voice, but Electronic Intafada countered by saying the Israelis murder those Palestinian political leaders and will continue to do so.
He also commented on the US-Iran potential agreement. He suggested the escalation of Israeli barbarity in Gaza and in Lebanon could be either to scupper the US-Iran deal or the escalation is its last frenzied attempt to murder as many Lebanese and Palestinians and destroy as much of their property and take as much of their land, before it is forced to stop.

The US has been an outlaw since WWII ended
31 May 2026
I was listening to a Haiphong video in which Wilkerson made some damning comparison between the US regime and regimes of the past who were also guilty of mass murder. He said:
"we [the US] have been at war for the past 30 years if you count them off. And all the people we've destroyed, hurt, put into either internal displacement or external displacement or killed. 38 million is one analysis of how many people we have killed with our sanctions, 50% or more of which were women and children since 911. 38 million people.
That rivals Ma Satung in the cultural revolution. That rivals Stalin in the purges in the deepest darkest hours of the purges. It even rivals Hitler really when you talk about the people he personally or his Verbach and other forces killed 100 million total but uh probably somewhere between 30 and 40 at Hitler's door personally.
So we are the rival of those people and the people that we have killed with our sanctions since 911. We are no longer the orbiter of international law. Good or bad. We are no longer the world's protector. Good or bad.
And I would argue that for a long time there was more good to it than bad. Now we are just all bad. We are all evil. And we sponsor people who are even more evil than we like Israel."
Wilkerson mentioned an article by Davies (link). It is an excellent article for its honesty and willingness to see the US and the Israelis for what they are, an Axis of Evil:
Davies also pointed the finger at the impotent and captured United Nations that could do more to stop this Axis of Evil and help the Palestinians, but it is not.
My comment on Davies's article was published (see below).

- "Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has effectively exempted itself from the entire system of treaties, international laws and agreements that are supposed to govern international affairs...
- the US and its allies unleashed their armed forces to attack and invade other countries, torture, rape and kill prisoners, and massacre civilians...
- The idea that America’s virtually unlimited investment in weapons and war would give it the final word in every dispute was a mirage, as even Trump is now finding out...
- Governments around the world face difficult choices between meeting the needs and aspirations of their own people or complying with the hegemonic and undemocratic demands of the United States...
- the United States and Israel commit systematic and barbaric war crimes, presuming themselves immune from accountability " wrote Davies
Davies also pointed the finger at the impotent and captured United Nations that could do more to stop this Axis of Evil and help the Palestinians, but it is not.

FT.com - there must never be another president Donald Trump

FT.com - disgraceful FT censorship in full view. It repeatedly blocks all comments on articles about Israelis
31 May 2026
Today, another FT article about Netanyahu and the Israelis was also blocked to all comments. I sent an email to comments at FT, saying
"It is utterly disgraceful that the FT did not allow any comments on its article.
This is the THIRD article in three days that is about the Israelis and where the FT has blocked ALL comments. This is FT censorship.
https://www.ft.com/content/fa98dbf6-4f5e-4f8d-aff6-a6bef9709d6c?syn-25a6b1a6=1
It means readers are, yet again, prevented from giving their point of view or changing the narrative of the article. That prevention enables FT propaganda - either the FT's own or contributed by third parties - to go unchallenged."
My post below dated 29 and 30 May, called "FT propaganda by controlling the narrative and controlling dissent" shows I made a comment about the FT repeatedly blocking all comments on articles about the Israelis. That comment has been well received (getting 82 "Recommend" as at 31 May.).

The irrational demands by Trump over Iran's nuclear material
30 May 2026
Halper's video showed a post by Trump in which he claimed a) Iran could not access the nuclear material because it had been bombed so successfully, and so successfully that b) Iran no longer has nuclear bomb capability. (see images below of Trump's comments). Halper's assistant pointed out the irrationality of Trump's demands for Iran's nuclear mnaterial:
If Trump is true on both points he made (a and b), then why is he now insisting on taking Iran's nuclear material or having it destroyed? Trump said himself that Iran's nuclear material was successfully destroyed, and he also says it is inaccessible to Iran, so why is he now hounding Iran for its nuclear material?
Trump's comments and conditions over Iran's nuclear material are irrational yet the western media does not see that irrationality or they are keeping quiet about it.

A mother of two of the Flintoff 24 activists recounts her harrowing story of the police breaking into her home and the imprisonment of her twins.
30 May 2026
I watched this Flintoff video of a mother of two children (twins and both university students) who were arrested and imprisoned as part of the Filton 24 group. One went on a hunger strike for about 48 days and has since started eating.
The mother recounted the harrowing story of how a large group of police broke her door and entered her home while she and her children were sleeping in their beds. She is partially-sighted and a vulnerable person and did not recognise them as police. She thought they were gangsters and begged them to spare her life and her childrens'.
She had to go to the police station with her children and was in tears when over the matter and had no idea why her children had been arrested because they were university students.
She realised from learning about the plight of mothers in Gaza who hold the dead bodies of their children - murdered by the Israelis - how they must feel and that gave her strength and helped her understand the committment of her daughter especially, to the Palestinians. She also realised that at least she was able to see her children when the Palestinian mothers had lost their children.
It was a harrowing interview of a mother, possibly a single mother, who has raised childrfen and who is partially sighted, to face the horror of violent police entry to her home and to see her children imprisoned and their lives turned upside down.
I think her children are going through a re-trial or appeal process and the case will be heard or decided in June.

"Grim Reaper" Nakba 78 protester arrested by police for wearing a face mask
30 May 2026
I watched this Flintoff video of the "Grim Reaper" being arrested by police at the Nakba 78 march in central London in May.
He said he was arrested for wearing a face mask in that particular area (section 60aa). He took his mask off but they still hauled him away and arrested him. He was visibly shocked by being hauled away by these people.
"it was an a sham of an arrest, an illegal arrest. I was violated and really it completely underlines the point of of of my placard which I've put at the back, which is that um you know, it is the death of Britain's integrity...the whole system really has been corrupted by the evil Zionist lobby. I hope that's not designated as being anti-semitic, but I think it's fair comment and I think it sums it up. I think that's at the heart of the issue for all the problems as as to where we are." he said.
"[with the video of his arrest, he and his associates] were able to show to the world the moral depravity of Britain and how the police have basically been corrupted and an innocent man causing no no trouble, no threat, just in a way almost making fun of it um gets arrested. " he added
He felt he was singled out by someone in the crowd who reported him to the police and the compliant police went for him en masse, grabbed him, hauled him away and even though he had removed his mask, they arrested him. It was disgusting to see. He is an old man; harmless and yet these people surrounded him, man-handled him, and arrested him, even though he removed his mask.

I think the humane and rational path to follow is for the Israelis to withdraw from Lebanon and from Palestine; for the US to remove its military assets from West Asia; for the US to return frozen assets to Iran; for the US and Israelis to pay war reparations to the Iranians, Lebanese, and Palestinians; for Iran to allow passage of all ships through Hormuz.

The US empire's long war to retain its global primacy
29 May 2026
A revealing point of view was shared by Berletic in this Haiphong interview.
His view is the US is doing its damndest to retain primacy and oppose multipolarity, i.e., US corporations are funding think tanks and the people at these think tanks then move into politics and US government to realise the policies sponsored by the big US companies. The goal is company profiteering.
The US had a massive industrial headstart and had primacy over the world because the world had been destroyed by WWII. The US has held primacy ever since WWII but that is under threat with multipolarity and by the advance of China and Russia.
Berletic says the US is trying to choke China because the US cannot compete with China in many ways. The blockade of Iran is to choke supply of oil to China and to Asia.
He says the US is pushing Europe to attack Russia. He says the US is directing Ukraine and the US is attacking Russian oil ships. There is also suspicion the US sabotaged NordStream pipeline.
"they're saying Russia's thinking about starting a war with Europe. No, the US is feeding Europe into the proxy war with Russia. That is what's actually going on." said Berletic.
He says the US is sponsoring terrorists in Afghanistan to scupper Chinese trade with Afghanistan.
"the US is backing terrorists there [in Afghanistan], attacking the government there, attacking Chinese diplomatic missions, Chinese citizens there. So, it's a it's basically a dirty war the US is waging against China in a very similar way that that's now openly waging against Russia. And obviously the war of aggression they're waging against Iran, they have launched basically a full-scale war against multipolarism because they know they can they cannot compete with or stop it in any other way except to just destroy it all." says Berletic.
Berletic says the US is prepared to destroy the game it is playing in if it cannot win (retain primacy) and will see how the fallout settles and whether, as it did after WWII, it will reign supreme in the aftermath.
"can the multipolar world build and organize faster than the United States can destroy." asks Berletic
They [the US] are at war with multipolarism because they understand that as things are now multipolarism will win. And if people see this and they understand this and they face the reality of this, they will be prepared to invest in in this real fight that is actually happening, not the fantasy of America just going away all on its own. and multipolarism will have a chance to prevail no matter what the United States does. " Berletic said.
He said the US is not sincere about diplomacy - they have shown they play dirty (bombing Iran during negotiations with Iran). The current US diplomacy efforts are a ruse. It is likely the US is using a ceasefire to replenish armaments.
Berletic says the Chinese knew years ago that he US would try to choke off China's energy, which is why China has made so much progress on self-sufficiency in energy and alt energy.
In summary, Berletic is saying the US has been trying to dominate (primacy) and is willing to destroy everything and everyone and see from the carnage and aftermath whether it ios able, as it did after WWII, to retain primacy. The reason for the US being so determined to retain global primacy is so US corporations may continue to rake in money.
Berletic said the apartheid state of Israel is irrelevant relative to the primary objective of primacy.

FT.com - FT propaganda by controlling the narrative and controlling dissent
30 May 2026
I checked and saw that three of the seven comments I posted yesterday have been permanently published (see below). It was a pleasant surprise to see them.
It is pleasing to see many readers (32) shared my view about the FT's policy of denying any comments on some articles.
I noticed this afternoon (30 May) that my comment now has 72 "recommend", which is a pleasant surprise.
I checked and noticed on 31 May the "recommend" was now 82.

Update: see the update above with the image of three comments that were permanently published.
29 May 2026
FT.com published a nonsense piece about Trump and his farcical negotiations with Iran. Comments were allowed on this nonsense but blocked by the FT on articles about Netanyahu's inhumanity. My comment about this selectivity was published. I then posted a comment about the time given to Netanyahu by Trump, presumably, to grab and ethically cleanse Gaza and Lebanon. I then posted a third comment - about Netanyahu's frenzied land grab and ethnic cleansing.
I checked and noticed all three comments had been removed, so I posted four more. I will wait to see the decision of the Moderator.
7) “The FT allows reader comments on this nonsense, but blocks all comments on pieces about Netanyahu's inhumanity in Gaza and Lebanon.” immediately referred to a Mod.
6) “Trump’s dithering over a deal with Iran might be a ploy to allow Netanyahu time to occupy and ethnically cleanse as much of Gaza and Lebanon as he can before Trump calls time, which is why Netanyahu is on a bombing frenzy.” Referred immediately to a Mod.
5) “Netanyahu's frenzy of bombing is to grab and ethnically cleanse as much as he can of Gaza and Lebanon before the master of ceremonies, Trump, calls time.”this was referred immediately to a Mod.
4) “The FT allows reader comments on this nonsense, but blocks all comments on pieces about Netanyahu's inhumanity in Gaza and Lebanon. Perfect illustrations of controlling dissent and the narrative.” This was published then removed.

5) “Netanyahu's frenzy of bombing is to grab and ethnically cleanse as much as he can of Gaza and Lebanon before the master of ceremonies, Trump, calls time.”this was referred immediately to a Mod.
4) “The FT allows reader comments on this nonsense, but blocks all comments on pieces about Netanyahu's inhumanity in Gaza and Lebanon. Perfect illustrations of controlling dissent and the narrative.” This was published then removed.
FT.com - more FT misreporting and propaganda by omission; this time about Chair's removal from oil giant, BP
29 May 2026
I have been following a story by the FT about a guy removed from the massive oil company, BP. (BP has a shameful history in Iran).
I commented on the FT's misreporting of the guy's removal. My comment is another example of how the FT frames articles to make a particular point that is unfair and imbalanced and so constitutes a form of propaganda by omission - equivalent to that seen by the FT's reporting on the war on Iran.
I also commented on why the FT should go out of its way to mention the guy removed is Irish. Both of my comments appear to have been well-supported by readers.

FT.com - Trump "brand" is beyond worthless
29 May 2026
FT.com published a piece about the Vietnamese people taking money to relocate graves of their relatives to make way for a Trump golf course. It also mentioned the fee paid to licence the Trump "brand".
The article is illustrates how money corrupts people and how Trump is profiteering personally from his presidency and his abuse of power involving trade tariffs. My comment was published.
Whatever value Trump's brand had, has been destroyed by his warmongering and inhumanity, especially in relation to Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and his cuts to USAID.

FT.com - FT.com repeatedly blocks any comments on articles about Israelis' wars on Palestinians and Lebanese
28 May 2026
FT.com published two articles. One piece was about the Israelis expanding their illegal occupation of Gaza (see 28 May post below) and one on 28 May about the Israelis bombing Beirut.
On both pieces, the FT blocked any comments. Blocking comments is disgraceful because (as I have said on many occasions to the FT) blocking comments means: "readers are, yet again, prevented from giving their point of view or changing the narrative of the article. That prevention enables FT propaganda - either the FT's own or contributed by third parties - to go unchallenged." Blocking means the FT are deliberately preventing readers from condemning the Israelis for their barbarity and atrocities. It means there is no record of condemnation for future generations to read.

Israelis occupy more of Gaza and pathetic board of peace is coercing Hamas to disarm or else the genocide will resume
28 May 2026
FT.com published a piece about the disgusting Israelis expanding their illegal occupation of Gaza (see image of an extract from that article). Yet again, the FT banned any comments.
In Drop Site's video, Kouddous described the expansion of the Israelis of more of Gaza and the fortification of that expanded Israeli yellow line with building high-rise mounds that can be used as aerial platforms from which Israelis can murder Palestinians with snipers.
The Drop Site video also revealed how the fake Board of Peace's commissioner - a Trump lackey called Mladanov - is arm-twisting Hamas into giving up its weapons or else Israel will tear-up the Gaza ceasefire agreed in Oct 2025.
The truth is Hamas did not agree to that ceasefire and said it is not authorised to agree to it yet Mladanov is forcing Hamas to disarm or Mladanov will allow the Israelis - who DID sign the ceasefire - to tear up that ceasefire agreement. If they are allowed to tear it up, then the Israelis could (and would) resume their genocide of Palestinians and resume their mass starvation of Palestinians and their ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
"if the Palestinians don't agree to conditions that were not in the agreement that they signed with Israel, but go far beyond it, then Israel is not going to abide by the terms of the agreement that it actually signed...Israel has refused to ever respect any of the terms of the agreement that it actually signed. It's threatening to go back into the west of Gaza at a very large scale...what we're looking at right now is that they [the board of peace] have completely shredded the agreement that the Palestinian side made with Israel that brought an end supposedly to the genocide. " said Drop Site
02 Jun 2026
I saw this detailed article (pub 01 Jun) in Palestine Chronicle about Mladanov's failures and his machinations about disarmament: "the envoy [Mladanov] is fully aware that discussions regarding the future of Palestinian weapons were postponed to the second phase of the agreement, yet continues to raise the issue in a manner that undermines ongoing negotiations." wrote the Chronicle.

Israelis are committing another Gaza Dresdenisation; this time in South Lebanon
28 May 2026
The Cradle video discussed the intensification of bombing by the Israelis in South Lebanon. One suggestion for this was the Israelis sensed a US-Iran deal was imminent and so the Israelis were trying to gain as much of South Lebanon so that when the deal is finalised the Israelis will feel entitled to retain the regions of Souh Lebanon they have occupied.
It is not clear to me a) why the US-Iran deal will not insist on the Israelis withdrawing from Lebanon completely and b) why Hezbollah is not attacking these Israelis as they advance to take more of South Lebanon. Perhaps they are being tactical and prioritising the destruction of supply chains and communications and equipment that the advancing Israelis will rely on to remain in their positions.
What is clear is the Israelis are repeating in South Lebanon the Dresdenisation they committed in Gaza, and Trump is allowing it to happen. That means Trump is as guilty as the Israelis.
I also think Iran is complicit in the Israeli atrocities in Lebanon and Israeli advances because Iran is not insisting the Israelis stop their war on Lebanese people completely and Iran has not insisted the Israelis withdraw from Lebanon. Perhaps the Iranians sense the US would not agree to a withdrawal or a complete cessation of attacks by the Israelis, in which case it's likely no deal would be agreed and so Iran and the US would return to war. I think one of the The Cradle presenters explained the Iranians are taking a step-by-step approach, so perhaps the Iranians sense the utter barbarity and devastation the Israelis are heaping on the Lebanese people, even though it appears they are not doing anything tangible to stop the Dresdenisation by the Israelis.

Israelis are sponsoring gangs to attack Palestinians
28 May 2026
The Cradle reported in its video how Israeli-backed gangs are attacking Palestinians (see image below of the murdered Palestinians). I think this article (link ) mentions the murders though it suggests they were caused by Israelis opening fire on the Palestinians who tried to resist the gangs.
This report on the same gang attack suggests one of those Palestinians who resisted the gangs was murdered by the gang, and confirms the Israelis opened fire on innocent Palestinians, thereby giving cover to the gangs and enabling them to escape.
This is not the first such attack by such gangs and illustrates the guerilla warfare tactics the Israelis are using against Palestinians.

Hamas leader's wife and children murdered by Israelis during the fake ceasefire in Gaza
27 May 2026
Galloway interviewed Marouf about Lebanon. He mentioned the assassination by the Israelis of a Hamas leader, along withe murder of his wife and children - an illustration of Israeli barbarity and their disregard for innocent civilians.
The murders also illustrates the contempt these barbarians have for ceasefires - "3,005 violations [of the Oct 2025 ceasefire], resulting in the killing of 910 Palestinians and the injury of 2,747 others." said the Palestine Chronicle about the Israelis.
The Chronicle also said the Israelis have allowed through only about pne-third of the trucks that had been agreed and only about one-third of Palestinians have been granted travel rights. This illustrates how the Israelis have turned Gaza into a concentration camp for Palestinians and it further highlights the inhumanity of the Israelis.
Marouf also discussed Israeli elections and the danger that more satanic and barbaric leaders might replace Netanyahu, such as "Motrich" and "Gvir" [I won't bother to spell the names of these barbarians, correctly]. He also said those elections might not occur if the war on Iran resumes or if the Israeli state is ended.

The US economy will dictate US politics, not the Israelis
27 May 2026
Dialogue works interviewed Scott Ritter. He said the Israelis are unable to advance because they cannot sustain the momentum of an attack because Hezbollah is able to disrupt (with its drones) the Israelis' support system needed for sustaining the momentum of an attack. The Israelis have no counter to the drone warfare.
Ritter said Hezbollah is relatively immature in its ability to use drone warfare precisely and effectively but it's learning. Had it the skills of the Russiand or Ukrainians in using drones, Ritter says the IDF would have been wiped out by now.
Ritter emphasised the only factor that counts for the US is the economy so as soon as Americans sense their income is being affected, they will respond and so Trump is only only concerned about the economy, not the Israelis.
Ritter said the Israeli lobby is only effective and relevant as long as the US economy is not faltering and as soon as it does falter, then the Israelis will lose their influence because politicians will care more about supporting the economy than supporting the Israelis.
He said Netanyahu senses this priority for the US politicians and Ben Gvir does not so Netanyahu is looking at cutting ties from the US over the coming decade. I suspect change will come much sooner than that for the Israelis.

FT.com - FT spreading anti-Iran and pro-US-Israeli Axis of Evil propaganda
27 May 2026
FT.com published a piece titled: "Iran’s ultra-hardliners lash out at negotiators over US talks" with the subtitle: "Influential conservative lawmakers insist Tehran stick to maximalist terms for ending conflict with Washington"
Only after I had reached the end did I realise comments were blocked. I was disappointed - there was no good reason to block comments.
I sent a long email to the FT about its piece and its decision not to allow any comments (see below).
Two further points I did not think of until after I had sent the email is:
1) the subtitle says the opposition is "influential" yet the article says the person they backed to challenge Ghalibaf won just 29 votes versus 235 for Ghalibaf, so he or the opponents are hardly "influential". I think saying they are "influential" is therefore misleading.
2) the journo describes the opponents in the subtitle as "conservative" yet later he talks of them in much harsher terms. Why not just stick to calling them conservatives?
Re: Comment not allowed - Iran’s ultra-hardliners lash out at negotiators over US talks
It is utterly disgraceful that the FT did not allow any comments on its 27 May article about US-Iran peace talks.
https://www.ft.com/content/8245ea80-059f-44d2-8e72-8fe1308dd18b?syn-25a6b1a6=1
It means readers are, yet again, prevented from giving their point of view or changing the narrative of the article. That prevention enables FT propaganda - either the FT's own or contributed by third parties - to go unchallenged.
There is NO honourable reason to block all comments. I can think of dishonourable reasons: to spread US-Israeli propaganda and to spread anti-Iran propaganda.
It is curious that the journo (Najmeh Bozorgmehr) talks of "criticism". In order to criticise, one must know the object that is being criticised. That object has NOT been identified in the article by the writer, i..e, what has Ghalibaf said or done that has been "criticised" by opponents? The formal Iranian response has yet to be published so there is as yet nothing for opponents to criticise, so how can the FT writer talk of opponents being critical?
It's quite possible these opponents are not criticising but expressing their point of view of what they want, which might not be at odds with what Ghalibaf also wants and intends to execute. The article says the opposition has "urged" and it wants negotiators to "insist". These are not criticisms.
The writer likes to portray the Iranian opponents as "hardliners" and "ultra-hardliners" and "hardline ideologues". Why so? What they want is not necessarily "hardline" nor is it extreme, but perfectly reasonable. For example, it is NOT hardline nor is it extreme for Iran (or any country) to refuse to handover Iran's nuclear material to a foreigner.
One could reasonably say that it IS hardline and it is extreme for a foreigner to demand Iran's material or to deny Iran its right to build a nuclear weapon if it so chooses. It is also hypocritical when the foreigner HAS its own nuclear weapons.
Where are the articles by the journo or any other FT journo talking of US or European or UK "ultra-hardliners" or "hardline ideologues" who insist Iran must not have nuclear weapons? These harsh characterisations are reserved by western mainstream journos for Iranians, just as the FT likes to label Iran's leadership a "regime" - a description never used to describe the US, Israeli, UK, or European "governments".
The journo proceeds to talk of "interventions" by the opposition and that is attempting to "insert itself into the negotiations". Where is the evidence for such claims of intervention and inserting into negotiations?
What is more likely is opponents are being vocal about what they want from these negotiations. That is perfectly normal in politics where there are differences of opinion and ideology.
Saying the opposition is trying to insert itself into negotiations is extreme to the point of being divisive. Such divisive language supports the agenda of those (the US-Israeli Axis of Evil and its lackeys) who claim the Iranian "regime" is in disarray and without leadership.
Finally, the journo says the Iranian leader was "killed" when it is far more accurate and honest to say he was murdered by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil during its illegal war of aggression on Iran.
In conclusion, I think this piece is more FT propaganda that is anti-Iran and pro-US-Israeli Axis of Evil. No wonder then to see that the FT blocked any comments to it.

FT.com - the US-Iran peace negotiations are becoming farcical

FT.com published a piece on the US-Iran peace negotiations. It sounded from the title that progress had been made but on further reading, the US claimed the report was a "fabrication" so perhaps it was all a hoax. My comment was published.

Marandi gives his views on recent events in the US-Israeli Axis of Evil's war on Iran
26 May 2026
Marandi said on a Dialogue Works video that the US bombed (without provocation) two Iranian boats in Iranian territorial water - they were not laying mines, and murdered 4 people. Iran retaliated with missiles and a commercial vessel was hit near Oman - not sure who is responsible. The US hit back.
He said the deal negotiated was a "good deal for Iran" but there was about 5% outstanding to be negotiated, but then the US attacks occurred.
He said Netanyahu wants to scupper the negotiations, and reminded viewers of Netanyahu's murderous bombing of Lebanon immediately after the Islamabad ceasefire had been agreed, that Netanyahu wrecked. Were it not for Netanyahu, ships would have been flowing through Hormuz weeks ago, said Marandi.
If 60 days pass without controversy, then Iran might negotiate directly with the US on phase two.
Phase one would include a $12bn transfer by the US to Iran at the start of the 60-day period. This time round, Iran will not be exposed to the same type of deceit perpetrated by the Biden administration (the US took advantage of loopholes in the agreement and the US refused to pass on money due to Iran). A repeat of that US deceit will be met with a renewed restriction of Hormuz by Iran.
Marandi said it was completely unclear where things were going in this war on Iran. He said the Americans were in a rush to get the present negotiations finalised, but when it was almost agreed, the zionists turned on Trump and Netanyahu threatened an escalation in Lebanon.
Marandi was scathing of western mainstream journalists. They are present in Lebanon yet the journos are not reporting on the reality - the atrocities being perpetrated by the Israelis.
Marandi said the Israeli regime was equivalent to Hezbollah under the potential agreement terms, i.e., the two parties to the agreement were the US and Iran and each had allies, and the US were responsible for the Israelis.
Marandi said in phase one of the current agreement (if finalised) would mean sanctions on Iranian energy would be waived and the $12bn money would be released to Iran. After 2 months, phase two of the negotiated agreement would focus on lifting other US sanctions and on the Iranian nuclear programme. If phase two broke down, then war might resume.
Marandi said the Iranians now have the ability to hit back if the US breached their obligations under the agreement. Iran did not have that ability under the JCPOA and so were helpless when the US (including Obama) breached the JCPOA agreement. Marandi said Iran will never agree to the same terms as the JCPOA. He said Trump helped Iran escape the JCPOA.
Marandi said the Europeans have no moral standing given their wilful ignorance of Gaza and he said the Europeans will be ignored in an agreement between Iran and the US.
The host said that the Gulf states and Turkey were normalising relations with the Israelis but 7 Oct 2023 ended the Abraham Accord. Marandi said 7 Oct 2023 opened the world's eyes to what was happening to Palestine. He said any group of people, including the Europeans, would have also tried to break out of the concentration camp that the Israelis had created, called Gaza.
Marandi said Hezbollah drew off Israelis from Gaza at the request of the Palestinians, knowing the Lebanese would face death.
Marandi said the Axis of Evil is dying.
Marandi said its air defence system could be deployed in Lebanon and in Iraq to counter the Israelis.
Marandi recommended four books: "Resistance: The Essence of the Islamist Revolution"; "A Dangerous Delusion: Why the West is Wrong About Nuclear Iran"; "Manufactured Crisis"; and Going to Tehran.

Double standards of the west illustrated in its reaction to Israeli abuse of westerners
25 May 2026
I first learned of the existence of the Palestine Chronicle (PC) through a clip in a video by MintPress News today which mentioned the Iranian Foreign Minister had been blocked from attending a UN meeting owing to visa issues. It's quite possible that block was a deliberate act by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil.
PC published a piece by Salt (on 23 May 2026) in which he highlighted the hypocrisy of the west - it expresses outrage and shock over Israeli attacks on westerners but has remained silent when far worse is meted out to Palestinians. Salt writes:
"For more than two years, it [the west] had looked away from the mass abduction and humiliation of Palestinian men stripped of their clothing, blindfolded, and forced to crouch in lines against walls or on the sands of Gaza. It did nothing and said little, but with largely European activists treated almost as badly, they were outraged, horrified, and disgusted. Where lies the difference? In the color of their skin?"

A realistic and impartial assessment of the state of the US-Israeli Axis of Evil and of Iran
25 May 2026
A rational and realistic assessment of the state of the US-Israeli Axis of Evil and Iran. A video of Diesen's interview of Freeman ("He").
He highlighted the hypocrisy of Trump: "we have the ironic statement from Donald Trump uh who went to war with no negotiations and used uh diplomacy as a cover for surprise attack that you know well we have to exhaust diplomatic means before we resort to force." [Trump is looking for a dip[lomatic solution to bring peace] "the irony of Donald Trump extolling the virtues of diplomacy when he has not shown any aptitude for it or even any inclination to use it."
He talked of Trump being in a corner- the Israelis are at him; he can't win militarily; he's lost Hormuz; he can't grab Iran's nuclear material; he has diminished weapons and defence capability; he is agreement incapable; Iran has "escalation dominance"; Trump has no credibility in what he (or CentComm) says. An analogy is Trump has been checkmated.
"the American uh logistical support for Israel and political backing of Israel which uh allows Israel to behave not just with impunity but with wild abandon really. Uh it creates moral hazard for Israel. Um and Israel has uh fallen into that trap. " What this means is the Israelis have turned into criminals because they know they can get away with their crimes. In the finance world, an example of moral hazard is when banks gamble to make massive profits knowing that if they lose their bets they won't suffer because the government will step in to avoid collapse of the banks.
He talked of the Israelis turning south Lebanon into Gaza, an outcome that is possible because of US support.
"nobody uh below the age of 50 has a positive view of Israel now in the United States"
"you have u uh Ben Greer dramatizing the sadism of the Israeli populace, his own sadism and Israel's sadism uh with the flotillaa that and the people seized from the flotillaa. um that has cost Israel a huge amount...Benier [Ben Gvir] is not an aberration. Uh he is a representation of Israeli behavior today. however much Israelis may choose to uh to ignore it or deny it...it [Israel] is essent essentially a pariah internationally"
"we've just seen the United States force Riyad Mansur the uh Palestinian representative at the United Nations to withdraw from his uh uh campaign to become the deputy uh uh leader of the general assembly and he's withdrawn under our pressure on behalf of Israel."
"in 78 years, Israel has never put forward a single peace proposal that uh proposal for peaceful coexistence with the Palestinians or anyone else. Um this is a record of belligerance that is unmatched in human history."
"the net result will be diminished security for Iran rather than enhanced security. Uh so a rational calculation would be that you know nuclear latency is still the right pro um position." This means, Iran will not go make nuclear weapons because if it did have them then all neighbouring states will go nuclear and so that outcome will not increase Iran's security; better for Iran to maintain the "latency" (the potential) for nuclear weapons than to actually have them.

When the prey stops running from its predator: parallels with the US-Israeli Axis of Evil's war on Iran
25 May 2026
The lion - buffalo predator-prey relationship in the context of the war on Iran
An interesting analysis of thepredator-prey relationship of a pack of 16 lions and a herd of buffalo that have co-existed for six years - the same lions preying on the same herd of buffalos.
The analysis drilled down to the behaviour of indiviudual lions and individual buffalos when an attack by a pack of lions is underway and during and after an attack. It reveals how the buffalo learned and reacted to two fatal attacks by the lions and reacted in an unusual way - they organised themselves into a formation that became an impenetrable single defence formation that meant the usual strategy of lions separate, create panic, and then pursue a specific prey, was no longer effective. the buffalo had learned from recent fatal attacks and reacted to the threat in a coordinated way that whilst not offensive, showed the lions that the prey had learned from their experience, adapted to it and formed an impenetrable defence to lions. It was so effective the pack of lions fled the herd at pace.
"lion hunting strategy depends on three things. Separation, panic, and pursuit. The formation [of buffalos] removes all three simultaneously. It [buffalos] cannot be separated because its [the formation's] spacing closes every gap. It [buffalos] cannot be panicked because the coordination structure holds even under direct charge. And the lions cannot pursue [a buffalo] because there is no isolated individual, only a wall of horns that advances when they retreat and holds when they hold. 14 lions against the Alliance are not 14 against 60. They are 14 against a single organism that weighs 48,000 kg and does not break."
There are parallels to the war on Iran. The predators are the US-Israeli Axis of Evil. The prey are Iran, Palestine, and Lebanon. The impenetrable "formation" is primarily Iran (equivalent to the matriarch mentioned in the video), but also the Resistance comprised of Lebanon, Iran, Palestine, and Iraq acting in a coordinated manner against the predator so that the predator is confronted by an impenetrable wall of prey.
Just as the pack of lions fled, so too the Axis of Evil is close to fleeing because it has found after weeks of war and stand-off that the "formation" is impenetrable and it will not flee but is ready and capable of defending with force and inflicting pain, repulsing, and defeating the predator .

Trump's latest announcement of a deal with Iran - is it another ruse?
24 May 2026
US media is in a bit of a frenzy - especially the warmongering faction that wanted the war on Iran - all because of an announcement by Trump of an "agreement" with Iran. Some have taken this announcement seriously and not treated it as just another manipulation the markets to make a killing.
Talking heads who make a living from broadcasting and discussing topical news are saying the agreement is a humiliation for Trump. His sycophants are saying the opposite. Johnson posted a cringeing load of garbage (see image below).
Notable garbage is his view that Iran is the world's greatest sponsor of terrorism. He says only Trump could have reached a deal - that would be Trump the terrorist who took the US into an illegal war of aggression on Iran that cost $billions per day and when the Hormuz was fully open to all vessels, and a war which the US has undeniably lost and achieved a worse outcome for the US than if it had NOT started the war on Iran in the first place.
Another piece of garbage is the view that the US is now more respected, globally. The opposite is the case, for the reasons I mention above, plus the global energy and humanitarian crises Trump and his co-terrorist, Netanyahu, have unleashed on many countries across the globe.
"totally pointless and unnecessary and destructive war in Iran that is accelerating the loss of faith that people have in America around the world These two terrorists have demonstrated they have contempt for international law, humanity, and the truth. " said Rhodes
"we have also not been told the truth by the Pentagon and by the US military frankly about the extent of the damage...we just we have no sense of the price tag uh the amount of devastation, how long some of those facilities are going to be offline...We are kind of the rogue nation in the world...I don't know what we stand for in the world anymore. That's how people are feeling. " he added.
Their illegal war of aggression has murdered thousands of Iranians, including women and children - including 160 schoolgirls on the first day of the war on Iran. Their war has destroyed homes, schools, hospitals, energy facilities and other civilian infrastructure across Iran,. If there is any justice, these terrorists must be held accountable for their war crimes - but that is unlikely given no one was held accountable for the war on Iraq waged by the UK and the US.
I have not bothered to publish the Trump announcement because it excludes Iran's confirmation of the terms. Until that confirmation is published by Iran, there is no confidence of anything that comes from the US -they have shown time and again they are liars.
TYT's Uygur gave this analysis of the "agreement" with Iran, including the despicable comments by US warmongers and Israeli puppets: Graham, Pompeo and Cruz. Uygur also described how the Israelis intend to buy US media. Uygur also described Netanyahu's propaganda and lies. Uygur also mentioned the Israeli plan to take out Iran do it has a clear path to then take Lebanon.
Marandi said Trump was being reasonable and an "agreement" was close with Iran but then Trump changed suddenly - after speaking with Netanyahu, the zionists and the US warmongers who support Israel and are anti-Iran. He also thinks the Abraham Accord is "dead".
He said no one trusts the US.
"this sudden shift [by Trump about the agreement with Iran] that we're seeing that we've seen in the last few hours I think clearly show that u he [Trump] was forced to change position and that uh Netanyahu and the Zionists vetoed any plan for an agreement." said Marandi.

ICC issues more arrest warrants for the Israeli regime's terrorists
20 May 2026
TYT posted a video about the ICC issuing more arrest warrants for Israeli criminals. TYT showed how one of those Israeli criminals responded by saying he will wage more war - on Palestinians.
"I hereby announce the first target that will be struck immediately after finishing my remarks here. I will sign an order to evacuate Khan Alahar on my authority as a minister in the defense ministry."
That is the mentality of these murderous thugs who lead the Israeli regime.

FT.com - more FT propaganda - no comments allowed about Israeli money buying a US election
Breaking Points posted this image of a post by the por-Israeli lobby in the US admitting it helped elect a pro-Israeli candidate instead of Massie.
TYT's video discussed the details of the unprecedented amount of money spent by the pro-Israelis to get their lackey elected instead of Massie.
"all these people who helped Trump get elected were basically working with Israelis on Israeli political campaigns at the same time they helped to get Netanyahu reelected in 2020" said TYT
Uygur said "Susie Wilds is the chief of staff for the president of the United States and she worked literally worked for Netanyahu."
Wilds is a gatekeeper for Trump so it is no surprise that Netanyahu was able to get access to TYrump so many times - because Wild is a supporter and haas been paid by, the Israelis. These connections are further evidence of how the Israelis have infiltrated US politics and how their money has bought access and influence.
"so you see how the collusion works. So you have these huge pro-Israel funders who uh buy half of
Washington if not 3/4 if not 100% of Washington. They fund all these think tanks then they fund the politicians. So right now Singer and Aden are also giving to Galin the guy who's running against Tom Massie. They and the pro-Israel guys have given him $16 million. So they're funding the politicians. They're funing funding their staffers like Susie Wilds and Tony Fitzio. Then they they get the media to say it is not Israel. And if anyone says that we're doing these wars for Israel or that Paul Singer is funding all of this or that Miriam Madson has given to both Democrats and Republicans and her one ask has been serve Israel and they have served Israel every time she's given them countless of millions of dollars, then the media's job is to lie to you on behalf of Israel and pretend it didn't happen and pretend, oh, it's just a coincidence." said Uygur
Uygur was dismayed that the media doesn't report the fact that Israeli money ($millions) has been used to defeat those who are critical of the Israelis, or reporters who say the defeat of the critics was not connected to Israel. "Well, you're a goddamn liar [says Uygur of the reporters who don't make the connection or who deny Israeli money was used]. You're not in the news business. You're in the propaganda business. And so just look yourself in the mirror and say, "I'm not a reporter. I'm a sellout piece of crap who does propaganda for Israel."
"don't tell me you're a reporter if you don't report that the Israeli lobby poured in all that money to eliminate Israel's critics inside Congress so Israel can get all of the money and all of the wars that it wants. That is a stone cold empirical fact. And the job of our media is not to cover the news. It's to bury the news on behalf of their benefactors, which in this case happens to be I[srael]" said Uygur.
Uygur knew what Massie's removal meant for all US politicians:
"the next thing that's going to happen is guaranteed all of the Republicans and a great percentage of the Democrats, but for sure all of the Republicans will now bow their heads to Israel cuz they know that if they defy Israel, they're going to get 16 million spent against them and they're going to be eliminated like Tom Massie was. So now every Republican will vote to take your money, rob it, literally steal it from you and your family and hand it over to Israel. No matter how much they ask for, they will do any war." said Uygur. In other words, US politicians will pass any bill to fund the Israelis no matter how much the Israelis demand; US politicians will support any Israeli war. If they don't bow to Israeli demands, then dissenting politicians will suffer the same fate as Massie.
An example of media bias was highlighted in my post today (see below) about the FT not allowing comments on its article about Massie losing the election. Though the FT did identify Israeli donations, the FT blocked any comments on its article.
TYT's video discussed the details of the unprecedented amount of money spent by the pro-Israelis to get their lackey elected instead of Massie.
"all these people who helped Trump get elected were basically working with Israelis on Israeli political campaigns at the same time they helped to get Netanyahu reelected in 2020" said TYT

"so you see how the collusion works. So you have these huge pro-Israel funders who uh buy half of
Washington if not 3/4 if not 100% of Washington. They fund all these think tanks then they fund the politicians. So right now Singer and Aden are also giving to Galin the guy who's running against Tom Massie. They and the pro-Israel guys have given him $16 million. So they're funding the politicians. They're funing funding their staffers like Susie Wilds and Tony Fitzio. Then they they get the media to say it is not Israel. And if anyone says that we're doing these wars for Israel or that Paul Singer is funding all of this or that Miriam Madson has given to both Democrats and Republicans and her one ask has been serve Israel and they have served Israel every time she's given them countless of millions of dollars, then the media's job is to lie to you on behalf of Israel and pretend it didn't happen and pretend, oh, it's just a coincidence." said Uygur
Uygur was dismayed that the media doesn't report the fact that Israeli money ($millions) has been used to defeat those who are critical of the Israelis, or reporters who say the defeat of the critics was not connected to Israel. "Well, you're a goddamn liar [says Uygur of the reporters who don't make the connection or who deny Israeli money was used]. You're not in the news business. You're in the propaganda business. And so just look yourself in the mirror and say, "I'm not a reporter. I'm a sellout piece of crap who does propaganda for Israel."
"don't tell me you're a reporter if you don't report that the Israeli lobby poured in all that money to eliminate Israel's critics inside Congress so Israel can get all of the money and all of the wars that it wants. That is a stone cold empirical fact. And the job of our media is not to cover the news. It's to bury the news on behalf of their benefactors, which in this case happens to be I[srael]" said Uygur.
Uygur knew what Massie's removal meant for all US politicians:
"the next thing that's going to happen is guaranteed all of the Republicans and a great percentage of the Democrats, but for sure all of the Republicans will now bow their heads to Israel cuz they know that if they defy Israel, they're going to get 16 million spent against them and they're going to be eliminated like Tom Massie was. So now every Republican will vote to take your money, rob it, literally steal it from you and your family and hand it over to Israel. No matter how much they ask for, they will do any war." said Uygur. In other words, US politicians will pass any bill to fund the Israelis no matter how much the Israelis demand; US politicians will support any Israeli war. If they don't bow to Israeli demands, then dissenting politicians will suffer the same fate as Massie.
An example of media bias was highlighted in my post today (see below) about the FT not allowing comments on its article about Massie losing the election. Though the FT did identify Israeli donations, the FT blocked any comments on its article.
20 May 2026
FT.com published a piece on the election of a Trump lackey with massive pro-Israeli money donated for his victory (that defeated Massie). Yet again, the FT blocked any comments on its article. I therefore sent an email with my comments:
"It is utterly disgraceful that the FT did not allow any comments on its article
https://www.ft.com/content/29cd0b80-200b-4809-825b-b65bb5b4f8bf?syn-25a6b1a6=1
It means readers are, yet again, prevented from giving their point of view or changing the narrative of the article. That prevention enables FT propaganda - either the FT's own or contributed by third parties - to go unchallenged.
It is not known why the FT chose to block any comments on an article about US politics. One reason might be what Massie said:
“It’s a referendum on Israel’s influence,”, i.e., to prevent any criticism of the pro-Israeli money that bought this Trump candidate his victory.
With a record $33m spent to buy that election, it is obvious the pro-Israeli's have used their money to buy political support and pursue their agendas. Just count the number of pro-Israeli donors in the list, some of whom (e.g. Singer and Adelson) the FT (for some unknown reason) chose not to identify as pro-Israeli (is that omission more FT pro-Israeli propaganda by omission?):
[see image below]
It is reasonable to conclude that the FT's block on comments is a further illustration of its pro-Israeli bias."

I stumbled upon this TYT video. It described more Israeli settler depravity and inhumanity towards Palestinians.
"They're [Israeli settlers in the West Bank] threatening to rape the wives and the daughters of the Palestinians who stay in the West Bank. And they're starting to urinate on the Palestinians." said TYT

Mamdani criticised by US jewish groups after commemorating Nakba 78 and publicising jews' atrocities against Palestinians
19 May 2026
I stumbled upon this TYT video about Mamdani commemorating Nakba 78. TYT mentioned the outrage of some jews over Mamdani's perfectly reasonable, humane, and considerate commemoration of the inhumanity of jews towards Palestinians. The point made is these jews are outraged at the truth being aired in public and take it as an offence to jews.
These jews say such commemoration puts jews at risk, as though that is justification for hiding the truth and hiding the history of jews' inhumanity and atrocities. Burying jews' atrocities contrasts with the widespread and persistent coverage globally of the holocaust of the jews and their persecution by the Nazis.
These jews want their atrocities to be buried. One way they have done that is they and their allies have whitewashed history taught in the US education system - Uygur described how the truth about those times (the Nakba) was twisted or whitewashed. It is a common ploy of autocrats and despots to try to rewrite or erase history and their atrocities.

"Nakba" means "catastrophe".
I came across this Flintoff video of the Nakba 78 march in London. Some interesting points from the comments of those interviewed, include:
- the multiple attacks on muslim religious places that are not reported in the media yet attacks on jewish places get lots of coverage in the media;
- the obvious discrediting of lies spewed by Braverman, Badenoch, and their kind who say these marches are hate marches and a threat to jews and that these marches should be banned;
- the police allowed some zionists or anti-Palestinian protestors to gather right beside the flow of the pro-Palestinian marchers - as though to incite violence;
- the condemnation and discrediting of those (such as UK politicians) who blame the pro-Palestinian marches for the spate of attacks on jews or their property;
- the absurdity and idiocy of banning certain words, such as globalise the intafada.
US is spreading a false narrative to justfy its invasion of Cuba
18 May 2026
The images below - shown on Meidas Touch - illustrate how the US is fabricating (with the aid of captured media) a false narrative to invade Cuba, i.e., by reporting Cuba is targetting drones to attack the US. The response to such false information appears in the image immediately below which is a post from the Cubans. It shows the Cubans are undergoing self-defence preparations, which is reasonable and that defence is NOT a justification for the US to invade Cuba.
Words and context matter and they are the difference between war and peace and life and death.

FT.com - more FT.com propaganda by omission - where is its reporting on the explosion at an Israeli nuclear facility?
18 May 2026
I learned of the Israeli state explosion on MediasTouch on 17 May (link). This explosion was not reported by the FT and I have not seen it reported anywhere else. It appears to be an example of widespread propaganda by omission by mainstream western media in support of the Israelis.
See this link (link) of the examples of no reporting of significant events or reporting them in a way that raises suspicion.

FT.com - more FT pro-US propaganda and more US imperialism - this time against Cuba
17 May 2026
FT.com published a piece on Cuba and US imperialism, though it did not of course, describe the US in that way. I did in my three comments. All were published, at least initially. Relevant links to the Cuban mentioned in the piece (link; link).
I checked and saw two had been removed by the FT. The one retained has the text "...desire...". I therefore posted a fourth, but it was sent immediately to a Moderator. I later checked and saw it had been published by a Mod (it's shown immediately below - note, it no longer has the "riddled and shameful text of the original version that was critical of the FT).

Jones' video exposes the warped Israeli propaganda spewed by tory mouthpiece: Badenoch
17 May 2026
I came across a video by Jones about the racist march in London yesterday.
Tory leader, Badenoch (Bad), whom I regard as vile, shows she is upside down, twisted, and warped. She said: "I have said that we should now start banning the pro Palestinian marches because they are creating a climate of intimidation and fear against Jewish people. all this globalizer and from the river to the sea nonsense is a cover for wiping out Jewish people."
She reveals her ignorance and shallow understanding of the Palestinian slogans and goes on the attack by using them as weapons against the Palestinians by claiming the slogans are "cover for wiping out Jewish people" - a twisted interpretation of Israelis that is propaganda that she regurgitates.
Bad, like the British mainstream media, has dubbed the stabbing of a muslim and two jews, as antisemitic, and she has conveniently ignored the muslim stabbed, because mentioning him would destroy her false message.
"We have seen what happened in Gold's Green just a few weeks ago. Two attempted murders. Uh I think it's time it's it, you know, we should call time on that."
Unlike wanting to ban pro-Palestinian marches, Bad had nothing bad to say of the racist march also held in London on the 16th.
Bad said:
"some people who are going for not very good reasons...They are talking about uniting the kingdom. The other march is about something happening much further away about pro Palestine." Jones rightly destroyed her words by pointing out that the leader on stage called for the removal of muslims (4 million) from the UK and for people to get ready for a fight. Bad should be schooled to realise that such talk is NOT "about uniting the kingdom" It is about inciting hatred and division.
"Here is an example of the world turned on its head" Said Jones aboud Bad's warped and vile twisting of reality. It is clear to me she is captured by the pro-Israeli lobby and is spewing anti-Palestinian rhetoric to ban pro-Palestinian voices.
Bad says the racists march was about domestic matters whereas the pro-Palestine march was about some far-away land, Palestine so of no concern to Brits. Again, she is exposing her shallow minded logic.
The British created the problem in Palestine and has provided intelligence to the Israeli regime and continues to supply it with hardware to continue its genocide. The UK government is in league with the genocidal Israelis. Palestine is therefore most definitely a matter for the UK government to manage.
Bad is clearly ignorant of the role of UK foreign policy and the work and duties of a UK foreign minister. It is shocking to see such ignorance on display form a person who might actually lead the nation.

Racist EDL exposed by Double Down News as a front for zionists
17 May 2026
I came across a Double Down News video in which Lowkey exposed the close ties between the racist EDL and specific jews. The EDL was created in the UK by a jew who was an Israeli soldier, and at one time EDL was renamed the jewish Defence League and then the English jewish Defence League.
The video also exposes how the co-founder of the EDL praised specific jews who "created" him and supported him - meaning those who indoctrinated him and gave him money. As always, some people will do and say anything for money.
"Ezra [Levant] helped me, coached me, trained me, um, created me. So, I'm very grateful to Ezra Levant. I'm very grateful to And I know...at the time Dr. Bob [Schillman] was sponsoring my employment." the leader of the EDL gushed.
The 16 May 2026 racist march was funded, in part, by a $100,000 donation by Schillman.
"[The EDL is] a false flag front group run by and financed by Zionists." said former BNP leader, Griffin.

FT.com - shameful misreporting and fake anti-semitism by the FT
17 May 2026
FT.com published a piece about the two marches in London on 16 May. There was a lot to say about this piece - see comments below. No comments were allowed by the FT - a disgraceful decision. I sent an email (see below) to the FT about their ban on comments on their piece.
The FT piece said the numbers (provided by the police) of people at the racists' march was 60,000, and 15000-20000 at the Stand up to Racism, i.e., three times as many attended the former. These figures are wildly different to the ridiculous "millions" claimed to be at the racists' rally and the 250,000 I heard mentioned on the speakers' platform at the Stand up to Racism march.
The same person who gave the estimate of 250K said the numbers at the Stand up to Racism rally outnumbered those at the racists' rally, i.e., the opposite of what the police have stated.
It is suspicious that the estimates for the number of people at the Stand up to Racism march differ by a factor of 10 and that it is not even clear which rally had the greater attendance.
The FT has not bothered to fact-check or corroborate the numbers cited in its article, another example of lazy journalism that just regurgitates numbers fed to it by propagandists.
I can say from my own observation - as I looked from Pall Mall, there was a sea of people, but I don't know how many, not even roughly.
This is the link to the article exposing the erasing of the muslim man who was also stabbed.

UK police are a puppet of pro-Israelis who conflate criticism of Israeli barbarity with anti-semitism, and who ignore attacks on muslims yet highlight attacks on jews
15 May 2026
Halper interviewed a UK activist, Mos-Shogbamimu (M-S). M-S gave a revealing account of how the pro-Israelis are using anti-semitism as a weapon to attack pro-Palestinian supporters, and how the UK police are harrassing her for speaking out against the Israelis who commit such barbaric acts.
It is shocking and disgusting to find UK police are spending so much time and effort harrassing people who reasonably criticise the barbaric acts of Israelis, and claiming such criticism is inciting racial hatred.
The pro-Israelis are using antisemitism as a weapon to shut down anyone who dares to criticise the barbarity of the Israelis. Rowley, the head of the UK police in London is pro-Israeli and anti-Palestinian and it is likely that he has been directed by the pro-Israelis to instruct all police under his control - the whole of London - to crackdown on any criticism of the Israelis committing crimes against Palestinians.
M-S noted that the media did not report on the muslim who had been stabbed but only reported, widely, of the two jews who had been stabbed by the same person, i.e., blatant suppression of muslim suffering and bias towards jews. The mainstream media reported it as an anti-semitic attack, but they did not report it as an anti-muslim attack. M-S also noted none of the attacks on muslim places of religion were reported.
Here is a link to a Halper video where the UK presenter resorts to lying when explaining why she and the others in the media did not mention the muslim who was stabbed. She and others AND STARMER, only reported that two jews were stabbed.
When pressed for an explanation on why the muslim was ignored - she says it was because the attack was aimed at jews, yet it was clearly also aimed at a muslim but that fact (the attack on a muslim) has been ignored by her and by the other media.
I have no information on the reason for the stabbings, i.e., it's not clear to9 me the attacks were because the people were jews or because the man was a muslim. The attacks might have been for some other reason unrelated to these people's religion.
She then gives another excuse for not mentioning the muslim - because he was not hospitalised - but the questioner corrected her on that and said in fact he was. Another pathetic excuse from her for not mentioning the muslim.
She then blames Starmer and the police because they only talked of attacks on the two jews so her reasoning was, she will also only report of the two jews and so ignored the muslim because the media and police ignored the muslim. The interviewee pulled her up on her absurd reasoning by saying she is a journalist and as a journalist she is supposed to report on facts, NOT be selective on what is reported and as a journalist she is certainly not supposed to simply regurgitate the one-sided message spread by Starmer and the police.
Her attempts to excuse the one-sided coverage of the stabbings was a display of a journo being exposed for her bias and showed she is a lackey for the pro-Israelis and a poor excuse for a "journalist". On the other hand, the person she was interviewing should be applauded for his persistance to expose her bias and unprofessionalism in reporting these stabbings, and for his ability to destroy each of the feeble excuses she conjured up. Each time she talks, she has a sneer that is sinister.

More revelations of Israeli depravity and barbarity towards Palestinians
I came across a Halper video in which Shehada mentioned the prevalence of rats and the deliberate destruction of sewage facilities by the Israelis. He mentioned one of the reasons there were so many rats is also because Palestinians have not been allowed to remove the dead Palestinians buried beneath rubble and those corpses have been food for rats.
Halper repeated the words of a depraved senior Israeli who said in Nov 2023 that a humanitarian crisis and epidemic in Gaza would speed-up Israeli victory and reduce IDF casualties.

NYT exposes Israelis raping Palestinians
15 May 2026
FT.com published a piece about a NYT article about Israelis raping Palestinians.
The Israeli terrorist, Netanyahu, was quick to refute the claims in the piece and threatened to sue the NYT. The NYT replied to that threat:
"the threat was part of “a well-worn political playbook that aims to undermine independent reporting and stifle journalism that does not fit a specific narrative."
I sent an email to the FT for not allowing comments on the FT article, and for inserting a paragraph (see below).
I also came across a Halper video that discussed the Israelis raping Palestinians.

Standing up to UK right wing media harrassment
I received an email from PSC asking me to sign an open letter by the Good Law Project condemning UK right wing media harrassment of Misan Harriman. The letter, which I signed, had this to say about the harrassment and smearing of Harriman:
"Rightwing newspapers are trying to run a smear campaign against Misan Harriman. We can't let them. Add your name to the open letter, and stand against hate and division.
We, the undersigned, come together in solidarity with Misan Harriman, photographer, filmmaker, and advocate. We are deeply concerned about the dishonest smear campaign orchestrated by the Telegraph and the Mail...
The purpose of the smear campaign, which we repeat is entirely without foundation in fact, is to traduce and marginalise Misan. And it is intended to send a message to others that if they speak out, they will be subject to harassment and threats.
We believe that safeguarding freedom of expression is essential to a healthy democracy. And that trying to silence responsible critics of Israel by smearing them as antisemitic does not protect Britain’s Jewish community.
We stand against all forms of hate speech, violence and discrimination.
We stand for truth and justice.
We stand with Misan Harriman."

The signs that UK police boss Rowley has sided with the pro-Israelis and the far right and against the pro-Palestinians
15 May 2026
Double Down News published a video exposing the ties between the Met Police boss, Mark Rowley, and the Israeli lobby, the UK far right faction, and Israeli surveillance and intelligence companies.
It is a shocking eye-opener of how Rowley has turned against pro-Palestinians and sided with the Israelis, and how deeply Israeli companies have infiltrated the police with their intelligence software and systems.
It's possible that if UK police seize a 'phone, its data will be searched and recorded using Israeli software and so it could get into the hands of the Israeli regime and its supporters. The same risk arises in relation to NHS data managed by the US company, Palantir, that is an ardent supporter of, and has contracts with, the Israelis.
The video also revealed Braverman's close ties with the Israelis and it explains the shameful stance she has taken of smearing Palestinian supporters and supporting the Israelis. She has now jumped ship politically, partnering with the despicable Reform party.
The video showed a clip of Braverman refuting claims of Israelis are committing genocide:
"I very strongly rebut suggestions that Israel is in breach of international law, that there’s a genocide, that there’s a forced starvation." She said that on the contrary, "Israel is doing a huge amount using technology, sophisticated methods and a lot of care, to minimise civilian casualties, get aid into Gaza, and to comply with international law." (link).
Those words were uttered in Apr 2024. Much of the reporting of genocide by the Israelis came after her words (see this link for a catalogue of evidence of genocide by the Israelis). A relevant question to ask Braverman today is: does she still believe the Israelis have not committed genocide?
In Jan 2026, I gave my honest opinion of her and provided a link to support that opinion (link). "My honest opinion is she is a vile and morally bankrupt person." It is no surprise she has landed alongside Farage.
Rowley was publicly critical of Green Party leader Polanski in the lead-up to local elections. Was this criticism timed to scupper the Green Party's election chances? Rowley has held meetings with pro-Israeli groups, and shockingly, he has lied about the route taken by pro-Palestinians when they march.
Why has Rowley turned? It seems he chose to lean towards the Israelis rather than remain independent or resign.

Mother of one of the Filton 24 speaks of her daughter's ordeal
14 May 2026
I came across this Flintoff video in which he spoke to the mother of Ellie Kamio, who was convicted for "causing damage to an Israeli weapons factory that was sending drones to Gaza to kill civilians."
What is shocking about this case is the gagging by the court of any publicity about her case. To speak of it could trigger a contempt of court.
It is was also shocking to hear the mother recount the story of the sick driver - possibly employed by Serco - playing "I want to be free" as her daughter was being driven to prison. The judge, Johnson, has recently been promoted - perhaps a coincidence but perhaps for services rendered to the UK government and/or its pro-Israeli puppeteers.
The video mentioned a film about the ordeal of the Filton 24 has been made but it needs funds to distribute it. A link to the website about the film and donating, and dates and locations for its viewing at cinemas, is here.

Lawyer for Hamas persecuted by UK authorities
14 May 2026
I came across this Flintoff video in which he spoke to human rights lawyer Fahad Ansari about his ongoing legal case. It revealed a policeman had said Ansari was part of Hamas. The reality is he is only a legal representative for Hamas. The fear he has is that the Israelis will now murder him because they are notorious for murdering anyone they even remotely suspect of being "Hamas", including medics and other civilians.
He also revealed that the police and courts had refused to confirm or deny that his personal data on his 'phone, had been given to the Israelis.
His case is a shameful example of the UK state (including the police and judiciary) NOT following the law and dispensing justice but instead pursuing a political agenda, which is to support the Israelis in their attempts to erase Palestinians and those who support Palestinians.
Ansari said that the way he had been persecuted by the UK authoprities could be designed to send a warning message to deter anyone else who stands up for Palestinians.

Letter to UK MPs to end complicity in genocide and to sanction the apartheid state of Israel
14 May 2026
PSC asked me to write to my MP about an early Day Motion (EDM). PSC said:
"The EDM acknowledges the more than 750,000 Palestinians who were ethnically cleansed from their homes in 1948 by Israeli forces, but also that the Nakba - meaning catastrophe in Arabic - is an ongoing process of dispossession, displacement, and oppression affecting Palestinians across all of historic Palestine and the Palestinian diaspora to this day. Crucially, it calls on the government to end its complicity in these crimes by implementing sanctions against Israel.
Please help put pressure on your MP to support this call for sanctions by sending an email today. MPs pay attention when their constituents speak out, and every email makes a difference."
The letter I signed and submitted to my MP says:
"Support sanctions against Israel. Sign EDM 80
sign EDM 80: ‘78 Years of the Palestinian Nakba’
I’m getting in touch to ask you to sign a new Early Day Motion marking the 78 years since the start of the Nakba against Palestinians, and to call for sanctions against Israel. The EDM has been tabled by Iqbal Mohamed MP with cross-party support.
Over 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced from their homes by Israeli forces in 1948 during the start of the Nakba, which means catastrophe in Arabic. The Nakba is not merely a historic event, but an ongoing process of dispossession, displacement, and oppression affecting Palestinians across all of historic Palestine and the Palestinian diaspora to this day.
Britain bears a special historic responsibility for the Nakba dating back to the Balfour Declaration and has since remained complicit in Israel’s violations against Palestinians through its trade policies, military cooperation, and ongoing diplomatic support for Israel.
In July 2024 the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory in Gaza and the West Bank is illegal and also found Israel guilty of committing the crime of apartheid against Palestinians.
The ICJ outlined clear obligations for states, including Britain, to ensure they are not supporting Israel’s violations of international law and to take measures to help bring them to an end. It is shameful that after nearly two years, the government has still not responded to this landmark ICJ ruling – despite repeated calls from MPs to do so.
The situation for Palestinians is more dire than ever. The Gaza Strip has been razed to the ground in what UN and human rights experts recognise as a genocide. The West Bank is seeing the rapid expansion of illegal settlements and escalating violence against Palestinians. Across all of historic Palestine, Palestinians face brutal repression, and those displaced, as well as their descendants, continue to be denied their inalienable right to return to their homeland.
As we mark the 78 years since the start of the Nakba, please take action by calling on the government to impose meaningful sanctions - including stopping any British trade, military cooperation, or diplomatic support that aids or assists Israel’s illegal occupation. You can do this by adding your name to EDM 80."

Electronic intafada's update on Israeli barbarity towards Palestinans is too depressing to endure
14 May 2026
It was very depressing listening to Electronic Intafada give its video update today on the barbaric acts of the depraved Israelis as they continue to oppress and murder Palestinians.
No human with a shred of deceny and humanity could feel anything but condemnation for Israelis who behave with such barbarity and inhumanity and who dehumanise Palestinians:
their attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank sleeping in their beds; the shooting of a 16-year old Palestinian; the attack on a pregnant woman; the torture and barbaric treatment by Israelis of a Palestinian surgeon incarcerated by the Israelis without charge. I stopped the 3 hour video after just ten minutes.
Condemnation should also be aimed at
a) those disgusting supporters of these barbaric Israelis - the politicians and the media across Europe, the UK, the US who give diplomatic, political, military and economic support and spread pro-Israeli propaganda and lies.
b) the supranationals that claim to be independent and uphold human rights and international law yet continue to allow these barabaric Israelis to murder, torture, displace and oppress Palestinians each day.
It is not wrong, though Braverman and her kind would say it is, for people to condemn people who are barbaric and depraved.
The UK is in the midst of a fight for a new prime minister. In the running is a pro-Israeli, Streeting. I wrote in my 16 Feb 2026 post that Streeting had supported the pro-Israel lobbying group, Labour Friends of Israel, "for over 20 years".
Streeting is a hypocrit - on the one hand admitting to Israeli barbarity and crimes and that the Israeli apartheid state is a rogue state, while on the other hand he has been a supporter of pro-Israeli LFI for decades.
Streeting is a reprobate, in my opinion, for a number of reasons, including his support of pro-Israelis who seek to destroy the lives and careers of medics who stand up and speak out in support of Palestinians and who criticise the barbaric Israelis who commit genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine.
Streeting is not made of the right stuff to lead a nation that believes in humanity, equality, and respects international human rights and international law. The UK government is a rogue government led by a another pro-Israeli, Starmer. Starmer has supported the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine by providing military and diplomatiuc support to the US-Israeli Axis of Evil.
Starmer might soon be ousted, but the outlook for Palestinians and their supporters, will not be brighter if Streeting takes his place.

Iran "deterrence" capability is a body blow to the terrorism of the US-Israeli Axis of Evil and their Gulf state allies
14 May 2026
In this Haiphong video Norton discussed the Gulf states' problems from siding with the US-Israeli Axis of Evil in their illegal war of aggression on Iran.
These Gulf states have been damaged and are suffering because Iran hit them directly with firepower.
Iran won the war by its asymmetric warfare, but the US will claim it won because it took out Iran's leaders, destroyed its infrastructure, destroyed its navy, and its airforce.
Anyone who has an impartial perspective will see the US is twisting reality - typical US propaganda. Iran had no conventional airforce, it had no conventional navy, its assassinated leaders have been replaced. Iran has a large fleet of speedboats, a massive missile arsenal, control of Hormuz, it continues to ship its oil, and its populatiuon has rallied around the leaders. A quick and easy operation in Iran by the US was completely failed and has lasted months not the intended few days.
Norton suggests Trump wanted to take over Iran in order to have leverage over China because most of Iran's oil goes to China. The plan was to repeat the Venezuela operation, but the plan has backfired massively.
The interview revealed some shocking details that expose the malice and hatred and imperialism of the US regime.
"no US government actually cares about democracy and human rights. That's why they strongly support Israel and Saudi Arabia and the UAE and all these horrible regimes that the US has always propped up. That's not new. It's bipartisan. and it goes back decades." Norton said
"Biden's commerce secretary Gina Rayundo famously said that they wanted to stop China from innovating technologically." said Norton. I found this article from 2021 which relates to this US plan, with the support of European allies, to restain Chinese technological development.
“We have to work with our European allies to deny China the most advanced technology so that they can’t catch up in critical areas like semiconductors,” Raimondo said (link).
Biden met with leaders of India, Japan, and Australia "to discuss shared concerns about China’s growing military and economic influence." (link).
Norton describes Trump's two-faced approach to dealing with the Chinese: "after you [Trump] punch someone in the face multiple times [the Chinese] and then you come back to them and say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, bro. Hey, friend. Can you can you lend me some money, please? I really need some money." It's like you have to ignore everything the US has been doing to China now for the past decade." said Norton, i.e., Trump is now grovelling around the Chinese for their money - an act which would be incredibly embarrassing and humiliating to reasonable and decent people, but Trump is neither and so has no qualms because he is an actor and a showman who will do and say anything and will deny reality - he keeps saying he won the war on Iran. Pre-election, he lied about keeping inflation down and about not waging war, if he was elected.
It is noticeable that Trump has toned down his vitriolic aggressive stance towards China, now that he knows China is in control and has the dominant position over the US. The US lost to Iran and the US economy is experiencing rising inflation. The US lacks the critical minerals needed to make explosives, and China controls those minerals. China's cheap productivity (compared to the US) has kept US inflation low for years but US inflation is now rising.
China is a massive holder of US debt, that ironically, has meant the Chinese have been funding US imperialism for decades.
Whatever the real outcome of Trump's visit to China, he will say it was a success.

DiEM25 on antisemitism; the genocidal Israelis and their supporters in western governments
13 May 2026
I stumbled across this video about the Israelis and antisemitism and the oppression of the UK government of pro-Palestinian protestors. What the two who were part of the discussion all made sense and their points of view were reasonable and moral.
One point that stood out was the under-reporting of anti-muslim attacks in the UK media, versus the prominent and high profile reports in the media of attacks that were labelled 'antisemitic'. I was not aware of the imbalance - because the anti-muslim attacks were not reported in the media so it's not surprising did not know of the imbalance.
It is disgusting how something so obviously wrong - the false connection of criticism of the Israelis with their religion - is allowed to be propogated far and wide, especially by western governments and the pro-Israeli lobby.

Galloway conveniently overlooks the Chinese oppression of Uyghurs
13 May 2026
I sometimes listen to Galloway. His comments this evening included one comment that I took issue with, enough to send him the following message
"I listened to the opening part of your show this evening. You were enthusing over the Chinese state. Most of it sounded good - for example, the police do not carry guns. I am disappointed you chose not to mention the plight of the Uyghurs at the hands of the Chinese state - a black mark on the human rights record of the Chinese state. You might also have mentioned the violent crackdown on Honk [Hong] Kongers and the right of the Taiwanese to self-determination."

FT.com - 'never let a crisis go to waste'
13 May 2026
FT.com published a piece on delays in housing construction owing to oil flow through Hormuz being restricted. There is nothing in the story to corroborate that connection between construction and oil supply. Nor is there any mention of stocks of the essential inputs of the construction sectors being depleted.
The story could be a convenient opportunity for construction companies to hike their prices charged to consumers, and to blame the "Iran war" for that hike. As they say: 'never let a crisis go to waste;'.

When "comedians" become repulsive
12 May 2026
I've recently returned to weatching Jimmy Dore videos. I resonate with much of what he exposes about US politics. Today's video was interesting but I did not watch the rest of it after I'd hear a repulsive joke. It is distasteful of comedians to make fun of tragic events and to use misfortune to elicit cheap laughs.
I sent him an email with my feedback (see below).

FT.com - more FT propaganda by omission to flatter the US
12 May 2026
FT.com published a piece on the US cost of its war on Iran. The figure was shamelessly understated and far below what others have estimated. The FT did not mention these alternatives nor did it challenge the shamelessly understated figure it just regurgitated. My comment was published but immediately removed, so I posted version 2. It was published, for now.
See these alternative estimates: link; link; link; link.

FT.com - Israelis will very likely murder innocent Palestinians in their sham trials about 7 Oct 2023
12 May 2026
FT.com posted a piece saying the disgusting Israelis intend to hold sham trials and murder Palestinians they falsely convict of crimes.
The judges will be "nominated by the Israeli military chief and officially appointed by Israel’s president," i.e., the convictions and murders of Palestinian prisoners will be rubber-stamped.
"death sentences based on confessions extracted under torture,”
"Some 1,200 Israelis were killed during Hamas’s cross-border assault from Gaza into southern Israel, with more than 250 taken hostage" How many of these Israelis were murdered by Israeli forces? A question the FT has not asked, nor has it mentioned the claims that many of these deaths were caused by the Israelis.

Trump's "genocidal intent" in his war of aggression on Iran
12 May 2026
"Genocidal intent" - the verdict by a constitutional lawyer (Barnes) on Trump's shameful remarks about bombing Iranians (watch this Davis video at -22:00).
We now have two genocidal maniacs (Trump and Netanyahu) waging war on Iran, and Iran is standing up toe-to-toe to both. Not only that, many would concede that the US has been defeated. The depraved and barbaric Israelis, though Trump's partner in crime, don't deserve a mention because they are nothing without American money and fire power.

Trump and Netanyahu and their allies twist reality
13 May 2026
I checked and saw that v4 is still published but not a single recommendation and just 1 reply. I think my comment was reasonable and deserved a greater response.
To find almost no response from readers highlights the factors that are involved in getting recommendations and replies. One of those is, I think, at what point in the article's existence my comment was posted. If very late, then I think few readers will be interested in reading my comment because time has moved on and so has the interest of readers - "the bandwagon has moved on".
Missing that bandwagon could be because of the delay caused by the FT repeatedly removing earlier comments I posted. I first need to notice the comment has been removed, then spend time editing it and re-posting a new version then re-checking until I am sure the latest iteration has been accepted and remains published. By that time, it might be too late to attract readers.
Controlling what is and is not published is another way the FT can manipulate the narrative. (Not allowing any comments is another tactic).

FT.com published a piece about nuclear weapons and handing over nuclear material. My comment highlighted the propaganda of the terrorists Trump and Netanyahu and those who support them, and it was published. I checked and saw it had been removed, so I posted version 2, which was also published, for now, but then removed. I then tried v3 - also removed immediately, then v4, which has remained published
V4) “Trump and Netanyahu, with the support of their captured media channels and their allies, continue to spread their fake narratives, lies, and tropes to twist wrong into right; bad into good; fantasy into reality (aka Propaganda).
Perhaps reflecting their delusions of superiority, Trump and Netanyahu demand that Iran hands over its nuclear material.
Any rational and reasonable human would know that Trump and Netanyahu have no right to Iran's nuclear material, no more than Iran has a right to demand Trump and Netanyahu hand over their nukes to Iran.
Trump and Netanyahu have shown through their treachery, barbarity, and imperialism, that they are not fit to carry the responsibilities of owning nuclear weapons.
That reality means that Trump and Netanyahu must be prevented from having nuclear weapons.”

How governments use stooges to twist bad news into good news
10 May 2026
A Dore video I stumbled upon today illustrated how politicians get their stooges to twist the narrative and transform a negative into a positive.
This "economist" was all smiles and enthusiasm as he said consumers are increasing their credit card purchases and said
"the consumer is really really firing on all cylinders ...And they're doing that because they have so much more money in their pockets... credit card spending is through the roof. They're spending more on gasoline, but they're spending more on everything else, too."
It was obvious to many who commented on the video that consumers are spending so much on their credit cards because they are short of cash and so are resorting to buying essentials on credit cards which are a very expensive form of borrowing if not paid off before interest is charged. Further, the reason consumers are spending more is because everything costs more, not because as this guy suggests, the consumer is firing on all cyclinders because they're flush with cash so have more disposable income.
According to many viewers, the true reality is the opposite of the fake reality this economist is creating with his spin.
The true reality is confirmed by the statistics: Dore said "credit card delinquency rates have risen to their highest levels since 2011." People are struggling to pay their debts so they are obviously NOT flush with cash and not firing on all cylinders.

Disgusting Sky News presenter is a mind reader and pro-Israeli puppet
10 May 2026
Listen to this Katie Halper video [at 13:31] that shows a clip of a Sky News presenter interviewing Polanski. The disgusting Sky News presenter, by his own words, is a mind reader, and not just that but a mind reader who can read the minds of not just one but ALL people who march in support of Palestine and he knows "hate" is on their minds.
Polanski said "Those [pro-Palestinian marches] are not hate march[es].", to which the mind reader replied: "It's in their minds.", so there we have it; he's a mind reader. Perhaps Polanski did not have the composure to snap back at him and ask: "Are you a mind reader? How do you know what ALL these pro-Palestinian marchers are thinking?"
This disgusting presenter is showing he is a puppet of the pro-Israeli media and is just spewing the same trope that the disgraced Braverman and so many of her kind spewed - the trope that marches supporting Palestine are hate marches.

Shameful double-standards and bias from the British mainstream media, exposed by Double Down News
10 May 2026
I stumbled upon a Doube Down News video about the Iranian who had been stabbed and attacked by Iranian monarchy supporters (see my post on 26 Apr 2026 for details). This DDN video interviewed the victim. He was very critical of the treatment he'd received from the police. The video did not say whether the police were interviewed or respond to the criticism. Flintoff was interviewed about the incident.
He confirmed DDN's view that the mainstream media did not report on the incident - a complete media blackout. That silence and ignorance contrasts with the massive media coverage about attacks that have been linked to jerws and antisemitism (whether such links are true and fair to make is not clear).

Helping Stop the War spread the message in support of Palestine and to oppose far-right racism
09 May 2026
On a hot and sunny Saturday day in Ealing Bdwy, I helped Stop the War for about an hour by distributing leaflets about the 16 May march in central London in support of Palestine and to oppose the far-right racists who will also be marching in central London.

Zionists-only event to sell stolen Palestinian land held inside a jewish place of worship in New York. Mamdani is impotent
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." he added.
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. The presenter was very mild about Mamdani, saying that Mamdani should use all his powers. The presenter is usually animated, foul-mouthed, and generally OTT but didn't show such theatrics or criticism that Mamdani is not doing enough.
I did not see any videos of Mamdani; no press releases actually condemning the auction of stolen Palestinian land. This piece in MEE includes Mamdani's rhetoric but nothing about what action he will take to stop such events:
"When we have a real estate expo that is promoting the sale of land, which includes the sale of land in occupied West Bank in settlements that are a violation of international law, that is something that I firmly disagree with," Mamdani said
I found this appalling and vile pro-Israeli propaganda piece by MSN about the event. Its author, a person called C Douglas Golden, says: "a group of "pro-Palestinian protesters" (translation: Jew-haters) were caught on camera trying to break down barricades to confront those in a synagogue during a real-estate event." Golden would not admit there is a sale of Palestinian land, saying: "Palestinian land allegedly being sold:"
Instead of addressing the reason for the protest, Golden spews hatred by falsely labelling the protestors as "Jew-haters", even when he cites one of them saying “We’re not attacking the synagogue or the Jews. We’re attacking the theft in Palestine.” and another protestor who said "“They’re selling stolen Palestinian land, and they’re using a synagogue to do it. That’s why we’re here,”.
Golden's headline was vile, false, inflammatory and hateful:
"Police rush to contain hundreds of rabid Jew-haters in mad dash toward synagogue - this is Mamdani's NYC"

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
08 May 2026
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.

FT.com invited questions for its Q&A session. The subject was marketed using the following headline:
"Submit your questions to Alan Beattie: What will Trump’s war on Iran mean for global trade?"
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."

The US government and captured media are not credible

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

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

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.
No comments were allowed.

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."

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."
