Wolff explains how the US funds its global imperialism
30 Jun 2026
Wolff explained to Haiphong how the dominance of USD since the end of WWII has enabled the US to hoover up the global dollars that are needed to pay for oil that has been rigged by the US and Saudis to be bought and sold only in USD. Those dollars have enabled the US to fund US wars across the globe.
Without the inflow of USD and without the USD being the global currency, the US would have to raise taxes to fund wars. The voters would not tolerate higher taxes to fund those wars, so those wars would NOT occur.
"He's the president of the people who fund his campaigns." he said of Trump.
He explained how Trump cares only for the 10% of Americans who own 85% of the shares - he cut taxes for them and the money saved went into shares. The massive increase in the US money supply went into shares not into the main economy and so US inflation did not rise evfen though the money supply went up massively.
He explained how the US auto sector shifted production to cheap labour countries to boost their profits at the expense of American workers who lost their jobs.

Marandi comments on Lebanon and the Axis of Evil and Syria
30 Jun 2026
Marandi said on Dialogue Works that the west has denied Lebanon air power and military power. He said the Israelis said in 2025 that any wepons to Lebanon would be to use against Hezbollah not against Israel. He said that since the Lebanese army is without weapons for defence, the only resistance to the Israelis is from Hezbollah. Marandi said
"The only reason why Hezbollah is armed is because they know that if they disarm, Israel will take Lebanon." "Back in the day when we would say this sort of thing [that the Israelis are pursuing a greater Israel project], they would say this is a conspiracy theory. But now it's out in the open. No one can hide it anymore." He said the US us supporting terrorist groups in Iran to overthrow Iran.
He recounted an attack by the Axis:
"They bombed those women. They killed all those women who were just cooking for people who were manning checkpoints. This is these are the monsters that we're dealing with. The United States is a vicious, barbaric regime. The Israelis are vicious and barbaric. They're I mean, they're monsters. Look at what they're doing in Gaza as we speak."
He said the mood among Iranians, now that Iran had stood up to the Axis, was more self-confidence and they were not primarily talking about the fear of war on them by the Axis. Now, Iranians talk primarily about everyday matters.
He said Syria and the Lebanese PM and President, were supporting the Israelis and that the regime change in Syria had made it clear the syrian regime was pro-Israeli and not supportive of the Lebanese resistance.

CodePink's call to action in support of Palestinians and their supporters

CodePink sent me an email about the plight of Palestinians and people who support Palestinians.

It is a shame they should ned to be prompted and have not acted using their own initiative and sense of humanity.

Update on many fronts across West Asia
29 Jun 2026
Marouf gave an update on the continuing Israeli barbarity and atrocities in Gaza and the West Bank - how the Israelis are extending the 'yellow line' in Gaza and how it seems the Israelis are murdering daily to meet their daily 'quota' of murders of Gazans.
This update covered many other regions across West Asia, including Iraq, Yemen, and Syria. The sheer number of these fronts discussed brought into sharp relief how the disgusting Israelis are responsible for so much terror across the whole of West Asia.

The US's puppet in Lebanon; the fake MoU; the US's fake nukes policy
29 Jun 2026
Roberts (on Dialogue Works ) said zionist neo-conservatives have controlled foreign policy since Clinton. He thinks the MoU is a charade and so Iran shouldn't expect peace from the MoU because of the Israelis, and Iran might be sticking with the MoU in order to see if the US splits from the Israelis. He thought it would be a victory for Iran if the split happens. He said another reason why Iran persists with the MoU is to show the world that Iran is standing up to the US and that has value.
He thinks the Lebanese puppets were bribed to do a deal with the Israelis. He added that he thinks a deal will be struck with the US and the Israelis whereby the Lebanese puppets are bribed by the US to cede part of southern Lebanon to the Israelis in exchange for the Israelis stopping their bombing. "Money usually counts for more than principle"
He mentioned how people suddenly disappear and used the kidnap by the US of Maduro and his wife as an example of how money can buy people and he suggested that the Maduros were kidnapped by bribing people in Venezuela to enable the US to execute the kidnap.
He said global foreign policy everywhere was no longer based on trust.
He said Trump will find it difficult to get out of West Asia, even if he wanted to, because US foreign policy has been to control the oil of West Asia. He did not think Gulf states such as the Saudis would want to be in the cross-fire any longer.
He said by not fighting to the end, Iran will suffer ongoing, albeit less intense, conflicts. This is being seen with the MoU and skirmishes. He thinks multiple ongoing skirmishes could become the norm, such as Cuba, Mexico, Greenland, Venezuela, and then Iran would be no longer important or relevant and put on the backburner.
He said the Israelis were trying to pass a US bill on hate speech [imagine that, a foreign apartheid state has the nerve to control US government] to suppress dissent of Israelis, i.e., to suppress the advance of the left-leaning US politicians and their supporters.
He talked of the wars on behalf of the Israelis in Iraq, Somalia, Syria, Libya, which created millions of refugees who went to Europe and the US and those in the US are all now voting for US democrats and the democrats are becoming (rightly) anti-Israeli.
He said the Israelis remain in the driving seat until something happens to their confidence..
DW said every part of the MoU has been violated. He said the Russians got nowhere negotiating with the US. He said 'no nukes in Iran' is a fake reason used by the US to justify the US attacking Iran and showing hostility to Iran. He said the real reason for US hostility is because of a) Iran's resistance to allowing the US to control western asia's oil; the overthrow of the Shah of Iran; and to pursue the Israelis' greater Israel agenda.
DW said Iranians' sentiment was growing against the MoU and to end talks with the US.
He said that compared today, the US was more independent under British colonial rule and it was freer then, than it is today.

FT.com - Netanyahu and Trump are not strongmen
US society has been immiserated by capitalism's disdain for personal education
Noh said (on Haiphong) that the US has breached cl 1 and 5 of the MoU. Two vessels were not complying with Iran's right to coordinate traffic and so at least one vessel was hit. The US hit back disproportionately by attacking 11 targets in Iran. Iran then retaliated with attacks on at least 8 US military sites on Kuwait and Bahrain.
Noh said the US has not learned from the war on Iran because US sites in the Gulf are still being hit in response to US aggression. Noh said the US is 'agreement incapable' i.e., it is incapable of honouring agreements.
He said Trump's comments about wiping out Iran were genocidal and criminal. Escalating US logistics movements suggest the US will launch another significant attack on Iran.
Noh reiterated the concept of territorial waters and Iran's right to the Hormuz, but the US is refusing to accept that.
Noh claimed there is no Uygur genocide yet if that is true, why won't the Chinese allow inspection of Uygur sites?
Noh said capitalism does not nurture the intellect and intelligence needed for technological advancement and so the US population has been reduced to being largely illiterate and unskilled, because of capitalism. He said the US is led by lawyers and not scientists and engineers. He said the US spends 4x as much on its military as it spends on education, but in China that is reversed and that explains why China is racing ahead of the US.
Noh said China's involvement with Africa was not colonisation, but the opposite. It seems the US has been excluded from Africa whereas China has attracted African partnerships and joint ventures. Noh indicated the US has abused its power of the dollar as a reserve and settlement currency so countries are looking for alternatives for clearing and settling transactions that do not involve USD.
Noh suggested the comments by Trump are indications that the US might resort to nukes because the ruling class in the US don't care - they are already morally dead.
Noh said Iran has conducted itself according to international law and ethics, and Iran has a right to control Hormuz because it is at war and it has a right based on territorial waters.
Noh said it took 500 years to establish the current world order (dominated by the west and the north) so it will take time for the global south to change that order. As I do, he encouraged people to use (and support) independent media.

FT.com - FT blocks all comments, again
28 Jun 2026
FT.com yet again blocked all comments on its piece about the US and Iran exchanging bombs because of Hormuz. I sent a critical email to the FT.
I wanted to comment on the absence of anything in the piece about clause 5 of the MoU that says Iran controls passage through Hormuz.
No mention of a reason(s) for the ship being struck - was it because it was under US direction to leave Hormuz without Iran's authorisation? The FT is silent on why and instead it regurgitates tweets from either side.

US and Iran exchange strikes and Israelis continue to bomb Lebanon
28 Jun 2026
MeidasTouch (MT) reported the US and Iran exchanged bombs in tit-for-tat strikes.
Pape posted this tweet that shows his bias - pro-US and anti-Iran. Note how he uses US military attacks as the benchmark when the benchmark he should have used is compliance with the MoU.
He has nothing to say on the ship(s) passing through Hormuz without the agreement of Iran and possibly under the direction of the US, which would constitute a breach of Clause 5 of the MoU.
MT also reported the disgusting Israelis continuing to bomb southern Lebanon - so much for their Lebanon-US-Israel agreement. Note also how they coordinate their strikes with those by the US to reduce publicity and the spotlight being shone on them for continuing their attacks.
Presstv.ir reported on 27 Jun:
"Clause 5 explicitly requires Iran, through its own arrangements, to restore maritime traffic to pre-war levels within 30 days, while establishing a joint mechanism with Oman for the future administration of the strait,"

UN publishes its report on Israeli barbarity and depravity towards Palestinian children
26 Jun 2026
The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel, published its 100-page report on 23 Jun, on Israeli depravity, barbarity and inhumanity towards Palestinian children. Link to the report pdf, here. Link to the UN Press Release and report, here. This is a link to a video of the press conference about the report.
This is a link to a MEE video interviewing a surgeon (Maynard) who witnessed the injuries and deaths to children caused by Israelis. Note he says the UK government knows of these atrocities but has not acted.
This is a link to an interview of the UN's Sidoti. Note he says the 22000 murdered children is an "enormous understatement" of the actual number of Palestinian children who have died (have been murdered) as a consequence (direct or indirect) of Israeli barbarity and inhumanity in the last 2.5 years.
As an illegal occupier, the apartheid state of Israel (ASI) is legally bound to ensure the protection, care and survival of Palestinian children. Its government and military have done the opposite: deliberate acts of murder, physical and mental injury to hundreds of thousands of Palestinian children.
Much of the harm inflicted by the ASI on Palestinian children was not incidental but intended to destroy the existence of the Palestinians in Gaza as a group.
Since children embody the biological and social continuity of the group, the Commission has reasonable grounds to conclude that these acts by the ASI form part of a deliberate strategy by it to destroy the future of the Palestinians in Gaza by targeting their children.
ASI "has targeted Palestinian children in Gaza in two distinct ways:
1) directly by shooting at their vital organs using precision weapons such as quadcopters and snipers;
and
2) through use of high impact weapons causing widespread and systematic attacks on
residential buildings, schools, and displacement camps crowded with children.
ASI disregarded the Oct 2025 ceasefire by continuing to murder and injure children and turned its yellow line area into a death trap for them.
ASI has caused an orphan crisis and compounded it by attacking orphanages.
ASI has arrested, tortured, and ill-treated children in Israeli prisons and detention facilities, including sexual and gender-based violence, causing severe physical and mental harm.
ASI has denied access to detained children by lawyers and parents. Withholding information about their whereabouts has created uncertainty for their families, amounting to enforced family separation.
ASI has deliberately attacked hospitals caring for children and newborns depriving them of "life sustaining care", causing long term physical and psychological harm and preventable deaths, and "the highest concentration of child amputees in the world"
ASI's attacks on neonatal and maternity healthcare infrastructures have contributed to a systemic collapse of the neonatal healthcare system, leading to a rise in miscarriages, premature births, low birth weights, and neonatal mortality, congenital birth defects among newborns.
ASI's attacks hav reduced caused the birth rate in Gaza and undermined the continuity of the Palestinian population.
ASI's use of starvation as a method of war has caused severe reproductive harms to women and girls, impacting all aspects of reproduction, including pregnancy, childbirth, post-partum recovery and lactation, as well as adversely impacted the health of newborns.
ASI's campaign of starvation has caused acute and chronic malnutrition among children in Gaza, and immunological vulnerabilities that have led to the re-emergence of diseases like polio.
ASI's attacks on schools has disrupted childrens' education causing cognitive damage that extends beyond lost years and sabotaging the intellectual and social foundations of Palestinian society itself.
ASI's illegal occupation and control have functioned as long term mechanisms of
domination, subjugation and oppression, thereby damaging memory, identity and hope across generations.
ASI's campaign of arrests, detention, checkpoints, raids, settler violence,1 and constant surveillance have terrorised children and created a pervasive sense of hopelessness among children. Ambient and diffused Israeli terrorism has denied children the freedom to play, imagine, hope, and develop an identity.
ASI's public displays of destruction and mocking of children's toys, and its desecration of shared possessions and spaces, symbolise ASI's:
1) dehumanisation of Palestinian childhood and
2) subversion of an entire community.

FT.com - Margaret Hodge, "a committed zionist"
26 Jun 2026
FT.com published a piece on tax paid and government handouts received by the British monarchy. The handout is staggering and immoral in my view, when so much more could be done with that taxpayers' money.
Margaret Hodge, a person I find repulsive because of her zionist views, chipped in her comments. My comment about her was published, for now.
See these links for more about her nature (link, link).
28 Jun update:
I noted my comment about Hodge had been removed. I tried several alternatives but each one was immediately removed, confirming the FT is shielding the pro-Israelis from comments that just state facts and so are neither controversial nor arguable:
5) “Hodge: the zionist who posed with Herzog-who said there no innocent civilians in Gaza”
4) “Hodge the "committed zionist"
3)“Margaret Hodge: “a committed Zionist” who posed beside Herzog (who said there were no innocent civilians in Gaza).
2) “Margaret Hodge: “a committed Zionist” who posed beside Herzog - the Israeli president who said there were no innocent civilians in Gaza."

US-Israeli Axis of Evil understate true extent of US personnel injuries and deaths from their illegal war on Iran
25 Jun 2026
MeidasTouch reported that Trump refused to meet injured US soldiers in order to avoid being photographed alongside injured soldiers. Like the Israelis, the US regime is also hiding the true extent of injuries and deaths from their illegal war on Iran.
The US government, and military, have downplayed US soldier injuries - they are claiming they are minor injuries and that many are able to report back for duty. That downplaying of injuries is preventing wounded personnel from getting appropriate tests and treatment. The reasoning behind understating the true extent of injuries is, according to Meidas, to hide the true extent of the injuries sustained from the illegal war on Iran. Imagine the public backlash for Trump if the truth about numbers of US personnel injured or dead, were known.
Meidas reckons the true numbers could be 10x the 500 reported. This behaviour of hiding the truth is a repeat of what was done by Trump when Iran retaliated in 2000 to the US assassination of an Iranian.

Lebanese puppet signals a split in US-Israeli Axis of Evil
25 Jun 2026
Marouf (interviewed by Dialogue Works) thinks the Lebanese puppet of the US (Salam) was directed by the US to get fully out of Lebanon - no partial withdrawal. He agrees that the puppet's unusual demand indicates the Israelis are being cut loose from the US and the US is directing the puppet to pressure the Israelis to get out completely. The puppet's words are a stark contrast to what he was saying and doing just a few weeks ago.
He thinks these puppets (the PM and the Pres of Lebanon) are thinking of what will happen when the Israelis get out. They might go to jail, exiled or, if they redeem themselves, forgiven.
Marouf thinks the apartheid state will not exist in a year or two in its current state. He thinks Saudi. Pak, Turkey, Egypt will be the US's counterbalance to the Axis of Resistance (led by Iran).
I don't accept Marouf's reasoning over why Palestine has not been mentioned by name in the agreement. If Palestine had been named alongside Lebanon, then Palestine would have been forced back into the spotlight instead of, it appears, being forgotten by Iran.
I think Iran has not forgotten the Palestinians, but the three reasons I've heard from Iranians or their supporters, on the specific question of why Palestine is not mentioned by name, are not convincing. I agree, the Palestine issue is complicated and perhaps it's better to get the current wars on Iran and Lebanon sorted, but without losing sight of Palestine.

MOOG trial defendants walk free
25 Jun 2026
Declassified UK published a video of defendants who smashed a US aerospace company that builds or supplies parts for US F-35 jets that are involved in the genocide in Palestine by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil, aided by their allies, that include the UK.
The jury did not reach a decision after 17 hours and so the defendants walked free. The disgusting CPS immediately called for a re-trial, which confirms the UK government is doggedly pursuing defendants who've been freed and found not guilty. Why is the UK government and the UK legal system so determined to convict these people who saved lives by destroying weapons of mass destruction and genocide? Is it because they are bought and captured by the pro-Israelis?
Note the disgusting misrepresentation by the judge - Carr - when she claims Palestine Action is not the same as the suffragettes movement when it plainly is because both engaged in civil disobedience.
"Palestine Action characterized itself as a nonviolent direct action protest group following in the footsteps of the suffragettes...In our judgment that premise was seriously flawed. It is not, as it claims, a direct action civil disobedience protest group like the suffragettes operating transparently in the open. " Carr said.
The Suffragettes were far more violent than the MOOG defendants or PA, yet the suffragette are celebrated today whereas defendants trying to save Palestinian lives are condemned by the government and the legal system, just for damaging property.

Despicable UK government puppet "injustice Johnson" sentences Filton Four as terrorists
23 Jun 2026
I stumbled upon a Double Down News video condemning the disgusting miscarriage of justice involving the Filton Four. They were sentenced as "terrorists" by a disgusting judge who abused his powers. They have the right of appeal. That judge is a political puppet and the UK government is a puppet of the Israelis who are committing genocide and ethnic cleansing with the aid of Elbit Systems.
The case and how it was handled by the UK judiciary illustrates the capture of the UK legal system by politicians, who are themselves captured by the pro-Israelis.

Body representing jews lies about an event in London to sell stolen Palestinian land and about the event protestors
23 Jun 2026
I stumbled across a video by Jones of an event held at a jewish place of religion, to sell stolen Palestinian land. It is a disgusting abuse of a religious building for this kind of activity to take place.
"It's illegal and it's a desecration of a house of worship."
It is also disgusting that the body that claims to represent jews, issued a false statement about the event and about the motives of the protestors who were protesting against the event taking place. Like other pro-Israeli groups, this body falsely claimed the protest were antisemitic.
"That piece of legislation because that means you can have events like this which sell illegal um sorry a land which is illegally occupied um at synagogues and then use the law to prevent people protesting about it."

Pro-Israeli MPs try to conflate antisemitism with criticism of the Israeli apartheid regime
23 Jun 2026
I stumbled upon a video by Declassified UK on a debate about Israeli influence in UK politics. Notice how the pro-Israelis twist the argument repeatedly, by saying the debate is about antisemitism when that is not the case. It is a disgusting and often-used trick by these pro-Israelis to twist the argument by claiming it is antisemitic when it is about the influence of the pro-Israelis on UK politics.
The full debate transcript may be seen here.
"this whole thing smacks of an anti-semitic conspiracy theory." said one pro-Israeli
"Israel has so much to offer as the only democracy in the Middle East and that we should work closely." What garbage. The apartheid state is not a democracy - see this link.
"This is yet another angle of the anti-semitism which we are experiencing in this country and especially driven by the left. And as others have pointed out, this is a very dangerous idea that somehow or other Jews control politics in our country."
"for millions up and down this country, the government's approach towards Israel has defied the most basic logic, justice, and humanity. continued arm sales amid mass extermination, the weaponization of terrorism lord, silent disscent, the welcoming of wanted war criminals on the steps of 10 Downing Street."
"Ministers in this government publicly identify themselves as members of that organization. yet it is not registered as a member's association and therefore avoids the further disclosure requirements that accompany that status."
"Pro-Israeli lobby groups have paid hundreds of thousands in political donations in the UK."
"In 2024, declassified UK June 2024 revealed 13 out of the then 25 members of the Labor cabinet received hundreds of thousands in donations from pro-Israel donors and that some 180 Britain's 650 MPs had accepted such funding during their political careers. That's one in four elected members."
"While the suppliers of war and genocide [Elbit Systems] are granted meetings with ministers, those opposing the machinery of war risk being treated as a threat."
"It's unfortunate that the petition behind this debate plays into the same old anti-semitic tropes of hidden forces and malign control."
"Ask the minister and why so many in this house and including him are conflating the Jewish faith and Jewish people with the actions of the state of Israel because that's not what's been said within the petition and that's not what what's been said within this house."
"No matter how uncomfortable it may be for some in this chamber, the state of Israel stands accused of committing genocide in Gaza. Minister, do you agree? I do not agree with that."

FT.com - how the war supply chain survives, year after year
23 Jun 2026
FT.com published a piece on the massive rise in funding of VCs that are in the war supply chain. Both comments were immediately sent to a Mod. That is surprising because comment 1) is not controversial, and nor is 2). I checked later and saw 1) was published but not 2).
1) “The FT should have titled this piece "US VCs..." instead of revealing more than half-way down the body of text (and even then, indirectly) that over 90% of the funding is for US companies. A puny 4% of that has been raised by European VCs.
The FT should be more open in declaring at the outset which market or country it is describing even though the vast majority of its reporting is US-oriented.”
2) “WIIMPS (western-Israeli imperialists and supremacists) are rabid warmongers not only because they are inhumane.
Their forever wars line the pockets of avaricious company execs along the very diverse and very long war supply chain. Those companies include not only the obvious manufacturers of ships, aircraft, tanks, guns, and ammunition. They include household names whose equipment or services are associated with good (agriculture or construction), but is also being used for bad (ethnic cleansing and genocide). The BDS campaign cites many of them.
These companies' revenues fund political elections of bought and captured politicians who ensure more wars are waged and more munition and ammunition are manufactured, year after year.
These politicians and companies use captured media and lobbyists to spread propaganda, incite violence, escalate conflicts, and to scupper attempts to end wars.”

MintPress News reports on Lebanon and Hind Rajab's Israeli murderers
MintPress News noted that the Israeli military censors all military-related news before it is published, redacted or blocked. It proves that a lot of news is NOT being reported by the Israelis and what is being published is censored. 15 articles on average a day are being blocked by the Israeli military.
The video notes the hunting down of the Israeli murderers of Hind Rajab, who is just one of tens of thousands of Palestinian children who were also murdered by the barbaric Israelis.
MPN did not believe the Israeli claims of the number of Israelis taken out when they attacked (unbelievably understated and the true number taken out is possibly understated by a factor of 10).
He said the Israelis lost on every front and they could not even defeat the weakest link in the axis of Resistance (Hamas). He said the only way the Israeli apartheid state will survive is a two-state solution, but the psychotic Israelis won't accept that.

Is the US using its proxies to dominate global oil and LNG supplies?
22 Jun 2026
Berletic (in this Haiphong interview) noted that the US is playing a game of using its proxies to pursue its agenda. It is pretending to cut its ties with the Israelis - by openly criticising them in relation to Lebanon; it is criticising Europe and appearing to cut its ties with Europe.
The reality is not what is being portrayed by the US: the US wants Europe to pretend it is feeling isolated from the US and so at risk from Russia so that Europe will divert more government revenue to building European defences and military capability even if that means cutting social budgets. By using Europe to attack Russia, that will cut Russia's energy supplies to Europe thereby allowing the US to supply more US oil and LNG to Europe.
Berletic said the rift between the Israelis and the US was also fake but it would allow the US to use plausible deniability i.e., no can blame the US for what the Israelis do. By portraying the Israelis as being on their own, the Israelis will be able to justify their escalating barbaric attacks on regional countries, and even to use a nuke - because they can say we are now alone and so at greater risk so we must take greater measures to defend ourselves and even if that means using nukes. The drama and fake isolation could therefore be a ruse to escalate Israeli barbarity and even to use nukes.
Berletic suggested the aim of the US to create war in West Asia was to cut supplies of energy to China and to Asia more widely, by using US proxies in Asia (Indonesia and Korea and Japan).
"When you [the US] get a a whole region of the planet dependent on you in terms of energy and you've cut them off from uh cheap, reliable sources of energy [cut them off from Russia and Iran and Venezuela], you you are now exercising additional leverage over them [Europe and Asia] and you can use that leverage to continue feeding them into the proxy war you are waging against the targeted nation in the region. For Europe, that's Russia. For Asia, it's obviously China."
He said the war on Iran had cut off supplies of energy to Asian countries and so US companies were filling that energy gap by supplying LNG. It is therefore clear the US wants war on Iran to cut supplies so the US can fill those supply gaps. Using the Israelis as regional attack dogs and imposing US sanctions, both help keep Iranian oil out of the oil markets.
What Berletic's theory misses is that China is less and less dependent on outside energy because it has developed alternative energy systems that reduce reliance on oil.

FT.com - the WIIMPS need to change their mindset on who has nuclear capability
22 Jun 2026
FT.com published a piece on preventing Iran from having nukes. My comment was immediately sent to a mod, but was soon published.
I coined a new term: WIMPS, but I should call it WIIMPS to include the Israelis (western-Israeli imperialists and supremacists)
“What is needed is a change of mindset of western imperialists and supremacists (WIMPS).
WIMPS do not dictate terms to anyone on possessing nuclear capability. That capability is a decision for sovereign nations to make without interference from WIMPS.
If WIMPS don't change their mindset then they alone will be responsible for never-ending, unjust, and illegal wars on Iran. Iran has proven it is up to the challenge.
Where were these WIMPS when other countries were amassing nukes - the Chinese; the North Koreans; the Pakistanis?
Why are these belligerent WIMPS always at the throat of Iranians? Is it because WIMPS have bought by the apartheid state who cannot be named or criticised lest comments are removed?"

Trump's foul-mouthed tirade violates the agreement with Iran and drives the Iranians out of further negotiations
Galloway said Trump's threats were a breach of the terms of the agreement so he AND the Israelis have now BOTH breached the agreement. Iran has withdrawn from the negotiations in Switzerland and will insist the Israelis get out of Lebanon not just cease fire.
Marouf thought that Trump's rift with Netanyahu was genuine and it was an attempt by the US to decouple from the Israelis.
MeidasTouch showed clips of a Fox News hack quoting insulting comments Trump made to the Iranians, including foul-mouthed threats. See the quotes below.
The video also included the pathetic Graham spewing rhetoric that obviously was pro-Israeli and anti-Iran. It also included the sycophantic energy secretary, Wright, spewing rubbish about Trump knew energy prices would rise and did not want his successor to deal with an Iran that has nukes, i.e., he was making excuses for Trump. It also includes comments by Vance that show the garbage that these Americans spew that when assessed objectively and realistically show they are nonsense and are lies and which twist reality.
"You close the straight of Hormuz, you ain't going to have a [ __ ] country, Iran. You hear me?"
"You won't even make it back to your effing country."
"We may take over the straight. If we have to, I'll blow the S out of them."
"We're going to bomb the [ __ ] out of you. I'm going to blow the [ __ ] out of them."

The Cradle discusses the recent atrocities of the Israelis in Lebanon
21 Jun 2026
The Cradle discussed recent Israeli atrocities in Lebanon and also discussed how the Israelis twist the narrative so they appear to be the victims and they are the defenders, when the reality is they have invaded a foreign sovereign nation (Lebanon) and they are therefore legitimate targets for the resisting Lebanese people.
The disgusting governments of Europe (the UK in particular) and the US instead brand these resistance fighters terrorists but they do NOT brand the invading Israelis who are committing murders and crimes against humanity, terrorists. The disgusting US regime continues to support the Israeli terrorists by supplying them with money and munitions.
The current reality is an upside-down world where the good are labelled the bad and the bad are labelled the good; where the good are labelled "terrorists" and the bad are not labelled "terrorists".
The hosts noted the Israelis define ceasefire as no more massacres for now but we will continue to murder and destroy but not as rabidly. That is our "ceasefire".
Disgusting media such as FT.com refuses to call the Israelis out for their barbarity and inhumanity.
Why do the Europeans and the US side with the Israelis? I think primarily it is money - the Israelis and their supporters have accumulated immense wealth over decades and they are buying support from governments and corporates and the media to control the narrative and spread propaganda. They have used that money to pass laws to protect them from criticism - antisemitism laws that are unjustly applied to silence critics even though there is no antisemitism in their criticism. Laws that prevent protest and laws that proscribe direct action groups. They use lawfare to harass and destroy individuals financially and in terms of their careers.
The US might also be using the Israelis as a base for West Asia. That might have been the reason decades ago, but I think in modern times, the US can forge alliances with Gulf states and others in the region to serve the US's imperialism. They don't need the Israelis anymore.
Modi has courted the Israelis - why? I think it is because his hindu ideology has parallels with the ideology of the "zionists" - supremacy over others. Hindus include the "untouchables" caste and the "superior" caste - the Brahmins. The Israelis believe they are superior to Palestinians. I don't think Modi is corrupted by zionists' money as the US and Europeans are. The attraction Modi has for the Israelis might also be religious - hindus have been hostile to muslims, so it stands up to reason that anyone who is against muslims would be seen as an ally of the hindus in their hostility towards muslims.

De Niro critical of Trump and supports free speech but is notably silent on criticism of US support of the Israelis or free speech rights of Palestinian supporters
21 Jun 2026
I came across a video of De Niro criticising Trump. His focus was on free speech and how the US has been damaged by Trump's policies, including ICE thugs. He said he disliked a country (his country, the US) that: "starts stupid and inhumane wars, killing thousands of innocents and indirectly causing the deaths and suffering of millions more...that's led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant."
He talked of diverting healthcare money to the "Epstein class" and was critical of the deployment of ICE thugs and their tactics.
All very commendable except there was nothing in his speech, not a word, about the Israelis - the support by the US and especially the $billions sent each year to the Israelis. Nor was there any mention of the people deported or incarcerated for speaking in support of Palestinians - where was De Niro on protecting the right of free speech for these supporters? He was silent.
I'm suspicious of De Niro. He is selective and calculating in what he says and is not critical of the US's support of the murderous and inhumane Israelis.

FT.com - more shameful shielding of the Israelis by FT.com's narrative
21 Jun 2026
FT.com published an article on peace talks in Switzerland.
The FT continued to shield the Israelis by the way it framed its narrative. I posted six comments but all were removed, but the seventh was sent immediately to a Mod.
I used "Belligerent" as code for "Israelis" because the FT has removed so many of my comments that were critical of the Israelis or stated the word "Israeli". I noticed later that comment 7) had been published, and had many recommended responses.
My comments are reproduced below in the images below (click to enlarge then press the arrow on the right to scroll to the next comment). It is clear that the FT is shielding the Israelis from criticism that they deserve. It is therefore another captured media platform.

Vance the rhetorical chameleon
20 Jun 2026
This MeidasTouch video included images below. They are further proof of the depravity of the Israeli leadership. The comments provide further proof that the Israelis are at war with Lebanese civilians. The Israelis are not even hiding their crimes by saying they are attacking Hezbollah strongholds. The post by the "Ambassador" is pure fabricated propaganda.
The one by a former Israeli PM is honest and shows that not all Israelis or all jews are depraved and inhumane.
Listen to the disgusting Vance change his rhetoric according to his audience. He was on US state regime media (aka Fox) about the agreement with Iran and said the Israelis were responding "in self defence" because they were attacked by Hezbollah (which he said was a terrorist organisation). Note how he says the Israelis were firing in self-defence (watch at 12:30)

Depraved Israeli jews advocate murdering pregnant women - "two-for the price of one"
20 Jun 2026
Sleboda suggested (in this Haiphong video) the agreement was a farce all along, i.e., all sides (including Iran) knew the murderous Israelis would continue on their murderous spree of attacks and would not respect the agreement. Iran knew the US would not stop the Israelis from bombing Lebanon.
Sleboda suggests US and Iran will return to skirmishes seen before the agreement was agreed. The whole agreement therefore might have been a ploy by BOTH sides for their own benefit. Oil would flow and that would benefit the US because the price of oil would fall, and Iran would be able to export more of its oil, presumably to China. Sleboda therefore suggested the agreement was a ploy for the US and Iran to let off steam - to allow oil to flow.
Sleboda was amazed Peshkian has not been ousted, and noted he had not been a target of the US or the Israelis (could he be a US puppet?). Sleboda was sure there was political division within Iran over the agreement.
He noted the top leader of Iran was sceptical of the agreement (and was going along with it for now) and passed responsibility for it to Peshkian. The IRGC are also against the agreement. The agreement has almost been scuppered by the Israelis.
Many civilians in Iran want missiles to hit the Israelis, but the Iranian government is taking a measured approach. Iran has just closed Hormuz and threatened further steps but these have not been named.
The Nawfal video with Kwiatkowski mentioned the depravity of Israeli society - they advocate murdering pregnant women:
"kill a pregnant woman get two for one" is a behaviour that the Israelis regard positively:
"in Israel It's been [murdering pregnant women] perverted into this is a positive for uh Zionists. It's a positive for our Jewish Israeli citizens. If we do this [murder pregnant women], this this preserves our majority. Uh this asserts our superiority and so to them it makes sense." explained Kwiatkowski.
The video showed that the Israelis have been trying desperately [massive firing and bombing] to take a strategic hill in Lebanon and they continue to attack and ignore the agreement. However, it was suggested that the Iranians have pressured the US to rein in the Israelis and by closing the Hormuz, Trump has realised the Iranians have force and sensing that force, Trump has pressured the Israelis into stopping their attacks.

FT.com - more shameful FT propaganda that shields the murderous Israelis
20 Jun 2026
Yet again, FT.com blocked all comments on its article about the Israelis murdering Lebanese civilians in further attacks. Blocking all comments is bad, but worse than that is FT framing and propaganda in its piece that twists the truth and so shields the Israelis from censure.
The FT title:
"Iran closes Strait of Hormuz after Israel and Hizbollah exchange fire"
Note the disgraceful framing. Nothing from the FT of Israeli violations of the agreement that required them to stop their attacks and to get out of Lebanon. Instead, FT propaganda says Hezbollah and the Israelis exchange fire, as if the Israelis are not at fault, and so nothing to criticise about them.
The FT repeated its propaganda "Iran postponed negotiations because of the fighting between Israel and Hizbollah " (see my earlier post disproving this absurd and incredible claim).
MeidasTouch published images of Lebanese men, women, and children murdered by the disgusting Israelis in recent hours.
This article by Palestine Chronicle quoted a Hezbollah member or spokesperson:
"Sheikh Qassem explained that the campaign waged against Lebanon today [by the Israelis on 20 Jun] aims to end the Resistance and eliminate its existence, warning that Lebanon is passing through the most dangerous phase in its history.He affirmed that the Resistance has developed appropriate arms capabilities and drones through the ingenuity of its fighters, vowing that the Israelis will be forced out of every last inch of Lebanese land." The article added:
"The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) carried out a fresh wave of attacks across Southern Lebanon and the Western Bekaa on Saturday morning, killing at least 37 people and extending a pattern of aggression that has persisted despite an alleged ceasefire in place since April 17, 2026."
This 20 Jun article by the Cradle, described the murderous Israelis attacking residential areas and murdering civilians, including women and children:
"Israeli attacks primarily targeted residential areas in the major southern suburbs of Nabatieh, Tyre, and Sidon, leaving homes in rubble and overwhelming local rescue teams.The deadliest massacre occurred in Nabatieh, with Lebanese Civil Defense officials confirming 16 deaths caused by Israeli strikes.
In the town of Qanarit in the Saida district, an Israeli strike killed seven people, including five children, and injured 13 others. A separate attack on the village of Barish in the Tyre district killed four members of one family, including two children."
This article disproves the Israeli trope, repeated by FT.com, of the Israelis targetting "Hizbollah strongholds" or the impression that the conflict is between the Israelis and Hizbollah.
Drop Site reported on 20 Jun:
"The Israeli military is carrying out a scorched-earth campaign around the Ali al-Taher hills, using heavy artillery and white phosphorus munitions, while Israeli Air Force AH-64 Apache helicopters are also participating in the fighting, military watch account GeoWatch and others report. The hills overlook Nabatieh and are considered a strategically important area, with military observers describing them as the site of a major Hezbollah underground command and tunnel site. Meanwhile, Israeli armored columns are reportedly attempting to advance for the sixth time now along the road to Nabatieh, moving from the west of the underground fortress site."
It is disappointing to see the Iranians doing relatively little to retaliate and support the Lebanese. They have closed the Hormuz because of the Israeli violations of the agreement, but that is not stopping the murders by the Israelis. Perhaps the impact of closing Hormuz will be enough for Trump to pressure the Israelis to stop. This art from Fars said
"the IRGC Navy's Public Relations Office announced: "In light of the atrocities committed by the Israeli regime in Lebanon and the United States' breach of its ceasefire obligations, the Strait of Hormuz is closed to all vessels." "
Marandi said on a Haiphong video aired on 19 Jun that people who criticise Iran for not doing enough in response to the Israeli violations in Lebanon, should press their own governments to act. That is a regrettable response by Mirandi.
It won't bring swift action and it won't even be registered with the government and even if it were noted, the governments of the UK, Germany, France and other staunch allies of the Israelis and the US have already shown they do not care about Palestinians or about Lebanese people. What is needed is immediate direct action and Iran can deliver it. They have threatened to go farther than closing Hormuz if the Israelis do not stop. "if the aggression continues, further steps will be planned and taken to force the enemy to comply with its obligations,” said a media outlet associated with the Iranian government, and reported in The Cradle

More evidence of Israeli depravity
19 Jun 2026
MeidasTouch published a message from the depraved Israeli called "BenGvir" - see below, and the response to it from the Iranian FM. The other posts are from other senior Israeli politicians.
The messages confirm that the depravity and inhumanity of Israelis is not isolated to one or two politicians but is systemic among them and among much of Israeli society.
The fourth image down shows the Israelis have no respect for ceasefires. On the contrary, they interpret ceasefires as allowing the Israelis to ignore them. Note the Israeli admits to destroying infrastructure - disproving the trope that the Israelis often use - of targetting "Hezbollah strongholds".

FT.com - incredible and biased reporting by the FT on a fake ceasefire between Hezbollah and the Israelis
19 Jun 2026
FT yet again blocked all comments; this time on a piece it published about a ceasefire between Hezbollah and the Israelis. I sent the FT a critical email.
I am extremely sceptical of this announcement of a ceasefire being true. This Fars article on 19 Jun mentions Hezbollah and confirms the Israelis do not respect ceasefires.
The FT framed the article in a way that did not point the finger of blame solely at the Israelis for scuppering the US-Iran agreement, but at Hezbollah and the Israelis.
"The latest clashes between Israeli forces and the Iran-backed Lebanese militant movement have caused Tehran to postpone [the agreement]" and "Israel and "Hizbollah have continued to exchange hostilities in what has become a major stumbling block to the deal’s implementation."
That narrative is false and it favours the Israelis. The Israelis alone are to blame for scuppering the agreement because they have not complied with the terms of the agreement. As my post below shows, the Israelis have actually ramped-up their frenzy of murder. Lebanon's attacks on Israelis did NOT cause "Tehran to postpone" as the FT claims; the Israelis' attacks were the sole cause of the postponement by Iran.
It is notable that there is not a single word from Hezbollah in the article either confirming or denying the "ceasefire" the FT claims has been agreed. That omission of one party to the "ceasefire" is a strong sign that there is no ceasefire. Nor is there any confirmation from an Iranian official of the supposed ceasefire.
The article has the strong whiff of lies and lacks credibility.
Note from the image below of an extract from the article, how Netanyahu says Israelis will remain in Lebanon in order to protect Israelis, and how he insists Israelis will continue to defend themselves. In other words, Hezbollah stops firing but Israelis don't stop murdering and bombing and attacking, and they don't move out of Lebanon. Typical Israeli mentality.

Israelis go on a murderous frenzy in Lebanon and continue to violate the peace agreement
19 Jun 2026
Dialogue Works reported 47 Lebanese people murdered and over 100 injured by Israeli attacks. As I have said, the Israelis do not respect ceasefires. Had they respected the agreement, they would be on their way out of Lebanon. Instead, the Israelis have done the opposite and ramped-up their murder and barbarity in Lebanon.
According to Johnson, under the agreement, Iran would have the right to respond to the Israelis' breach of the integrity of Lebanon under the agreement.
The US and Iran have halted any further discussions and neither will be in Switzerland for a signing.
Marandi and Johnson said Iran should wait for the US voters to see clearly that the Israelis are at fault and are trying to scupper the peace deal, before Iran retaliates against the Israelis.
We are dealing with a sickness - the majority of that population are committed to genocide
"we're dealing here with... uh, a sickness in the in the within the Israeli nation that a unfortunately a majority of of the of that population are committed to a policy of genocide." i.e., even if Netanyahu goes, others will replace them and they are at least as genocidal as Netanyahu was.

FT.com - more shameful FT propaganda that misinforms and controls the narrative
19 Jun 2026
FT.com published a piece about the war on Iran and criticism by Vance of Israeli criticism of the proposed peace agreement.
Vance said of the Israelis: “You can’t just kill your way out of solving every single national security problem that you have.”
Yet again, the FT shamelessly misrepresented the Israelis' war in Lebanon by focussing attention exclusively on Hezbollah and not also mentioning Israeli ethnic cleansing and murders of Lebanese civilians. The FT wrote:
"Israel, which has been striking its northern neighbour as it fights the militant group Hizbollah" and
"The conflict between Israel and Hizbollah had..."
Yet again, no comments allowed by the FT. I sent the following email to the FT:
.........
"Yet again, it is utterly disgraceful that the FT did not allow any comments on its article.
https://www.ft.com/content/cbb2047a-91dd-4777-9051-e9c709f4388b?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 shameful that a matter of such significance should be blocked by the FT from comments. This is not independent journalism. It is censorship and controlling the narrative.
Such total blocks on comments prevents criticism of the Israelis, and of the US. Why is the FT shielding these murderous regimes by blocking comments?"

FT.com - more FT propaganda by omission
19 Jun 2026

Israeli jew exposes the inhumanity of most Israeli jews
17 Jun 2026
Ori Goldberg was interviewed by Democracy Now (link) and had this to say of the Israelis' principles:
"When it comes to the principle at stake, there's a broad broad consensus in Israeli Jewish society. And you can define it in various ways. One would be Jewish blood is worth more than non-Jewish blood in this case. Another would be the ultimate jackpot is complete uh is this is a term coined by El Bak our former prime minister complete freedom of action for Israel where Israel can do whatever it wants attack whomever it wants for as long as it wants and suffer none of the consequences. Most Israelis still believe that this is the way to go. Israelis are not uh supportive of any kind of uh uh resolution uh especially not with the Palestinians."
"I don't think Israel really has one significant ally left, which is of course Israel's doing because it has consistently and emphatically burned all of its bridges over the past year or so." he said
"Israel cannot operate in Lebanon alone if it has uh if if it has invoked the eye [ire] of the world and specifically Washington towards it. Uh the EU is just looking eagerly for an opportunity to uh uh sanction Israel, to review the articles of association with Israel, to show Trump that for once they're speaking the same language as he is." he said.
This shows how morally bankrupt the EU leaders are. What the Israelis have been doing in Palestine for decades and especially in the last three years, have not been sufficient atrocities for these EU leaders to sanction the Israelis. Only now that the US appears to have had enough, are the EU looking for an excuse to call time on supporting the Israelis.
He said the Israeli scum bag "Ben Gevir" is a "populist": "All he wants to do is set things on fire and sit back and enjoy the flames and stick it to Israel's Palestinian citizens as well as Israel's Palestinian objects as frequently as possible. Any statements from him are not worth the paper that they're published on"
On the plight of Palestinians and especially those in Gaza, he had this to say of the Israelis' plans for the Gazans:
"Israel seems to be uh perpet per perpetrating a new status quo where Palestinians don't get enough food, where the uh uh humane conditions are deteriorating. Palestinians are open to disease, they're open to vermin. uh Palestinians are dying uh by the dozens every day, not just from Israeli bombings, but from uh Israeli induced chaos because they're still uh living in in the rubble basically without Israel allowing them any kind of uh systematic reconstruction.
But I do want to stress that Israel is doing this or the fact that Israel is doing this is in my mind a proof of Israel's weakness. All Israel can do is destroy. Destroy or harm or kill. Now, a lot of blood will be shed uh by Israel. A lot of blood that should not have been shed because the world was too uh lenient because the world wanted to give Israel uh some freedom of action, some leeway. But uh again, to the best of my understanding, Trump's had enough. He hasn't had enough because he cares about the Palestinians or about Lebanon. He's had enough of Netanyahu's disrespect. He's had enough of the notion that it's actually Netanyahu who's calling the shots."

Price of oil is not correlated to the €-$ exchange rate
17 Jun 2026
I was watching a video about the US-Israeli Axis of Evil's war on Iran. Desai said the dollar moved in the opposite direction to the oil price.
"What matters is the price of oil because as the price of oil rises it puts pressure on the dollar. It creates inflation. It undermines the value of the dollar because all commodity prices move in opposite direction to the dollar. So oil prices rise the value of the dollar declines."
I looked into this claim and created the daily chart below of price of WTI Crude (orange line) vs €1:$ (blue line) for the period from 02 Jan 2026 to 17 Jun 2026. (Jun 2026 is on the LHS of the X-axis).
The oil price rose during the war on Iran and has fallen after the agreement was reached around 16 Jun. Over the year, the €-$ FX rate has remained completely uncorrelated to the oil price, so disproving Desai's claim. Perhaps there is a timing effect, but that can be disproved because the war lasted 14 weeks, which I assume is sufficient time for any lag effect to appear.
Paying so much more for a barrel of oil will raise the currency cost of buying oil in any currency.
If all the dollars needed to buy oil end up being recycled into US assets, that investment will drive up the prices of those US assets (equities or Treasuries, for example). The high cost of oil will drive up the sale price of products made from that oil, so inflation of goods and services will rise globally. That's my theory.

Palestinians have been forsaken by Iran unlike the Lebanese and are likely to feel the barbaric Israelis' vindictiveness
Drop Site News said the Israelis continue to attack and bomb Lebanon. (link and link)
Sadly, the view of the panel is that the Palestinians have been forsaken by Iran. The reason for that is Hamas are involved in a ceasefire agreement (Oct 2025) involving the BoP, and because Hamas is not directly allied with Iran or as close to Iran as Hezbollah is to Iran. The Palestinians will rightly be disappointed and feel they have been abandoned.
I think the bottom line is that the Iranians have decided not to insist on change in Gaza and so in effect, they have ignored Palestinian, for now at least.
The sad consequence of the US agreement with Iran and the Israelis being forced to comply with it and to leave Lebanon, is that the Israelis are likely, according to the panel, take out their rage and frustration on the Palestinians.
The panel described how the Iranian football team were treated shamefully by the US authorities - because of the US fear they might be terrorists. The team said they were playing in memory of the Minab school children murdered on the first day of the war.

FT.com - will the Israelis leave Lebanon as agreed?
16 Jun 2026
FT.com published an article on friction between Trump and Netanyahu. My comment 1) along with other readers' comments, were sent immediately to a Mod.
“ "A flurry of White House calls averted Iranian retaliation."
You could also have added that Trump conceded significant ground to Iran, notably the withdrawal of the Israelis from Lebanon, in return for Iran agreeing not to retaliate against the Israelis' attack on Beirut.
I sincerely hope the Israelis leave so that the 1.6 million Lebanese civilians displaced by Israeli ethnic cleansing may return to rebuild their homes wilfully destroyed by the Israelis. Sadly, the reality is the Israelis do not respect ceasefires."

The Iranians have not forsaken the Lebanese and the Palestinians in its agreement with the US, says Mirandi
16 Jun 2026
Dialogue Works talked to Mirandi about the agreement and the implications for Lebanon and Palestinians.
In essence, he reiterated that Iran has not forgotten the Lebanese nor the Palestinians. I expect they will come to the fore in phase two of the agreement. He said "fees" would begin after two months in association with Oman.
"Nali Bennett he's a genocidal monster just like Netanyahu I mean it's a genocidal regime. It's a genocidal population. Israelis are an evil people according to their own polls. Not according to anything anyone else said. They they support genocide. The overwhelming majority. It's not like 52%. It's not like 55%. It's not like 60%. It goes way beyond that." said Mirandi about the Israelis and Bennett who threatened Iran publicly.
Mirandi said the real issue in Iraq was the choke hold the US has on the money from oil sales, and the food supply.
Dialogue Works host said that the root of the problems of West Asia was the plight of Palestinians. Mirandi said the people of the countries that collaborate with the Israelis (Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia) are pro-Palestinian but the regimes that control these countries are pro-Israeli. He thought that if the US weakens then perhaps these regimes would change their attitude and be supportive of Palestine.

FT.com - Trump condemns Israeli barbarity
16 Jun 2026
FT.com published a piece on the Israelis and their continued bombing of Lebanon. Trump was critical of the Israelis' barbarity:
“You don’t have to knock down an apartment house every time you’re looking for somebody.”
referring to the Israelis' habit of destroying entire residential blocks when they go looking for Hizbollah.
Israeli bombing is, at best, the indiscriminate murder by Israelis of Lebanese people. Israeli claims of targetting Hizbollah are likely to be lies and their true intent is likely to be the murder of ordinary Lebanese civilians and the destruction of their property (aka ethnic cleaning). The Israelis have admitted they intend to repeat what they have done in Gaza, in Lebanon.
........
"Yet again, it is utterly disgraceful that the FT engages in censorship by banning all comments on its article.
https://www.ft.com/content/12df7e82-1f5f-4202-8f42-fe224cbd87c0?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 to control the narrative unchallenged and to spread propaganda - either the FT's own or contributed by third parties."

FT.com - more propaganda by omission - about Filton sentencing
15 Jun 2026
I searched FT.com for "Filton" and did not find a single result where "Filton" was mentioned in relation to the Palestine Action Filton people. No article of their sentencing (on 12 Jun 2026) as "terrorists".
The lack of reporting by the FT is another example of propaganda by omission - the tactic of keeping quiet about newsworthy events in order to avoid drawing unfavourable attention (to the Israelis).
The sentences handed out are an injustice and the manner in which the judge ("injustice Johnson") has used "terrorism" against these defendants and how he has conducted the trial, are all gross injustices.
I came across comments by two Green Party MPs of the sentencing. One was reasonable and fair. The other (Berry) lacked the courage to say the sentencing is an injustice. I wrote to that MP to express my disgust at her comment (see below).
McDonnell (a Labour MP) said of the sentencing:
"I was expecting on Friday that they would simply be released. But to then draw in this terrorist conviction, the grounds of terrorism, I think is absolutely shocking...I'm hoping it's going to be appealed because it was so unjust to to actually change the grounds upon you actually sentencing and putting pe people inside that were never before the jury."
........
"Ms Berry
I've just read the Press Release by the Green Party and your comments on the sentencing of the Filton 4.
I am writing to say I am disgusted by your comment on the sentencing:
"escalating these sentences today clearly risks a serious injustice. " you said.
There is no "risk" of injustice. The injustice is a patently obvious fact. It is a reality. It is shocking that you did not say the sentencing is an injustice
Jenny Jones didn't pay lip service. She showed the courage you lack, and called the sentencing for what it is; an injustice: "The sentencing today...flies in the face of justice." "

UK Court of Appeal overturns High Court ruling on Palestine Action
15 Jun 2026
FT.com published a piece about the overturning today by the Court of Appeal, of a High Court ruling in Feb 2026 that proscription of Palestine Action was unlawful.
The FT blocked all comments on the article. I wrote an email to the FT criticising its ban of all comments (see below).
I think the reasoning contradicts the actions of other direct action groups, such as the suffragettes and how their actions were judged from a legal perspective, i.e., today's ruling illustrates double-standards and inconsistent application of the principles of justice. I also think some of the reasons cited by these judges to justify their ruling, are false, such as the covert nature of PA's actions and behaviour.
McDonnell gave his response in this Middle East Eye video.

Breaking Points and Drop Site discuss the proposed agreement about the war on Iran and why Palestinians were not included
15 Jun 2026
Breaking Points (video) discussed with Scahill of Drop Site the terms of the proposed agreement (MoU) between the US and Iran. The details are not clear and won't be until the signed agreement is published. A 13 Jun draft of the MoU was published by Mehr News Agency (link) and discussed in this Haiphong video on 15 Jun.
It seems that Trump was so desperate to prevent the Iranians from bombing the Israelis in retaliation for their bombing of Beirut, that he agreed to lift the naval blockade immediately and to force the Israelis out of Lebanon completely. So, the perception that Iran was weak in not retaliating against the Israelis needs to be reconsidered in light of these significant extra concessions Iran obtained from Trump for not bombing the Israelis in retaliation.
Scahill summed up the key outcome of the 100 day war on Iran by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil, and what must be retained for future records of this war:
"The big scandal here in perpetuity should remain that Donald Trump chose this war. That he did so not only at at great economic cost to the world, not only because it humiliated the United States, but also because the deal that he's going to get in the end potentially is going to be worse than the terms the Iranians were putting on the table for the year basically leading up to this war.
And really this, ...is an epic scandal. what has happened because what we've seen over the past hundred days is a complete and total unnecessary war that was counterproductive ...it [the war] shows the world that that there's this gratuitous violence that the US will just unleash that that Israel seems to be in control of a large portion of our decision-m and that the president of the United States humiliated the highest office in the land and wasn't even able to get a deal that was better than the terms that the other side was putting on the table before you went and launched a 100 day military, economic, and diplomatic war. It's it's it's scandalous."
Scahill was asked why Gaza was not a condition of the agreement in the way Lebanon is? Scahill said "I found them [the responses about why Gaza was not included in the agreement] to be unsatisfying answers, but I understand them." There are agreements in place between Hamas, the Israelis, Trump, the Board of Peace, and the UN. It seems Iran does not want to challenge these and insist that Palestine is a condition of an agreement.
I think that is regrettable - Iran has the upper hand over the US and the Israelis, in terms of ethics, military and economics. It should have insisted the Israelis allow full access to humanitarian aid, the reconstruction of critical infrastructure in Gaza and an end to settler violence in the West Bank.
It has been noticeable during all the talk of an agreement how Gaza was rarely mentioned as being part of a potential agreement, and that was ominous. The Palestinians will feel abandoned by Iran.

FT.com - more shameful FT reporting on the war on Lebanon
16 Jun 2026
I published comment 4) as a continuation of the comments I posted on 15 Jun (see below) because I wanted to highlight the fact that the FT is framing this war as "Israeli-Hizbollah". The FT is not quoting someone or some group; the FT is doing this framing themselves and deliberately and consciously.
It is likely the FT are using this framing to support the Israelis (Israeli propaganda). The FT are using this framing because
a) the FT is intrinsically pro-Israeli, or
b) the FT is being told by the Israelis to use this framing.

It is shameful propaganda by the FT to use this label when the Israelis have engaged in ethnic cleansing of Southern Lebanon, wilfully destroyed civilian Lebanese homes, and murdered thousands of Lebanese civilians, including women and children.
Independent, true and fair journalists would not frame this war as the "Israeli-Hizbollah war." “

Novara Media published a video on 12 Jun about the sentencing of Palestine Action members for terrorism. The sentences are a shocking miscarriage of justice by a judge who has been branded "Injustice Johnson" for his treatment of these people.
I find it appalling that a judge may prevent defendants from speaking of matters that are relevant to their defence, i.e., they should have been allowed to explain the rationale for their actions, but the judge banned them.
What is also concerning is the mainstream media has not covered the story. I searched the FT and found nothing at all. This is more propaganda by omission.
Propaganda by omission is also illustrated by the absence of a story in the FT or elsewhere in the mainstream media, of the total blockade by the Israelis of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Medical Aid for Palestinians calls for UK MPs to act to ban trade with illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine
13 Jun 2026
Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) called for action by writing to my MP. I did so. MAP said:
"Israel’s illegal settlements in the West Bank are forcing Palestinians off their land and worsening an existing healthcare crisis.
This week, the Foreign Secretary advised British businesses not to trade with illegal settlements. But what good is this when the UK could introduce an outright ban?
We need to send a clear message: this is not enough. Please, email your MP to demand the UK ban trade
with illegal Israeli settlements NOW.
By allowing trade with illegal settlements, the UK is fuelling settlement expansion, allowing for the impact on Palestinians to go unchecked, and ignoring its legal obligations.
When MPs hear from constituents like you, they’re more likely to speak out and demand action from the Government.
You can use our template below to email your MP — adding a short line on why this issue matters to you will make your message even harder to ignore.
The UK has recognised that Israel’s settlements are illegal – now it needs to act like it."
.......
MAP added:
"Israel’s illegal settlements, military violence, and settler attacks in the West Bank are spiralling out of control – forcing Palestinians off their land and creating more barriers to healthcare.
Armed settlers intimidate healthcare workers and block ambulances, while Palestinians face road closures and military checkpoints to access the care they need.
The UK Government must take real action to end its complicity and hold those responsible to account."
.........
The MAP letter to MPs said:
" am writing as your constituent to ask that you please use your voice in Parliament to demand the UK Government bans trade with illegal Israeli settlements.
As Israel’s genocide in Gaza continues, settlement expansion, military violence, and settler attacks in the West Bank are forcing entire Palestinian communities off their land and worsening an existing healthcare crisis.
More settlement infrastructure mean even more barriers to healthcare. Palestinians face road closures, military checkpoints, and longer, more difficult journeys just to access the care they need. This is happening alongside a surge in settler and military violence, with Palestinians including healthcare workers regularly under attack.
The UK Government said that Israeli settlements are illegal and has issued advice to British businesses “not to engage in economic activity” with illegal settlements. But what good is this when the UK is legally obligated to impose an outright ban?
The Government has also expanded its sanctions against some organisations and individuals involved in settler violence in the West Bank. But what use is this, when the Israeli government that facilitates and enables settlement expansion continues to be emboldened by impunity?
This is smoke and mirrors – meant to convince constituents like me that this Government is doing enough when it simply isn’t.
By continuing to allow trade with illegal Israeli settlements, the UK Government is fuelling further settlement expansion, allowing for the impact on Palestinians to continue without accountability, and ignoring its legal obligations.
Please demand that the UK Government immediately imposes a comprehensive ban on all UK trade, financial services and investment that enables illegal settlement activity, and takes real action to address Israel’s atrocities in the West Bank, including by: 1) suspending the UK-Israel trade agreement until violations of international law have ended, 2) imposing sanctions on individuals responsible for serious violations of international law, including forcible transfer and attacks on healthcare in the West Bank, and 3) suspending all arms transfers to and ending all military cooperation with Israel
I look forward to your response on how you will take this forward – and if this is an issue that you have taken action on previously, please do let me know how you will continue to advocate for this in Parliament.
Thank you for your time. "

TYT - the UK Israeli lobby had a hand in the ban of Uygur and Piker from the UK
13 Jun 2026
In this video, TYT discussed the ban of Uygur and Piker from entering the UK. The key point of their video was revealing who was behind those two being banned. TYT said Drop Site had "confirmed" that "pro-Israel forces were involved in getting Cenk Uygur and Hassan Piker banned from the UK." TYT then described an investigation by Drop Site that looked at Labour Together and its pro-Israel stance and how it was instrumental in ejecting Corbyn and installing a Labour party that is strongly pro-Israel.
The implication is that Labour Together and therefore the Israelis, were responsible for banning these two from entering the UK, but note the transcript does not explicitly name anyone or any organisation; it only says "pro-Israeli forces were involved". There might be thousands of these "pro-Israeli forces", and Labour Together might be one, but no individual or organisation has been identified by TYT. I suspect not mentioning specific people or organisations is deliberate to avoid potential legal action.
I found the Drop Site article (link) corresponding to this TYT video. It says
"Piker and Uygur were not banned by the Labour Party—they were banned by the Labour Together party."
There is no such party, so this makes no sense. If it's referring to the Labour Party, then it's obvious because the Labour Party is in power.
The piece mentions an MP called David Taylor who has called for the ban on Piker (see this article). Taylor is an outspoken critic of pro-Palestinian voices.
Overall, other than the MP, Taylor, there is no actual person or organisation identified by TYT or Drop Site as being responsible for these two being banned. Mahmood is the Home Sec so is the person who actually gave the order to ban these two, and she was closely involved in the Labour Together project. I suspect she is a staunch pro-Israeli.
The finger is definitely pointed by Drop Site and by TYT at the Israelis as being responsible for banning these two, but they do not explicitly state this.
The TYT video does include a clip of Greenwald harping on about the Israeli lobby's tactics that led to the removal of Corbyn from the Labour party, and about the takeover by the Israelis (via the Ellisons) of US media and thereby to control the narrative.

Marouf revealed in this Moral Resistance video that the Israelis tried to attack Beirut in order to drag Trump into the war in Lebanon because the Israelis were losing the war and wanted Trump's help. Trump refused, so the Israelis did not attack Beirut because they lacked the military means to attack.
He also revealed the insanity of the Israelis by saying they lash out at civilians whenever they suffer military losses, because the Israelis want to see casualties (non-Israeli casualties).
He said Hezbollah was fighting the current war in a different way to 2024 - not hand-to-hand combat on the frontline because that is too costly in terms of manpower and because there are no frontline villages to protect because the Israelis destroyed them in 2024. The aim was to deplete Israeli military losses - 400 tanks have been destroyed. Hand-to-combat was reserved for ambushing Israelis and to take out key Israeli personnel. He said the Israeli "casualties" should be multiplied 10x so "300" casualties is likely to be around 3000 in reality. He said the number quoted by Netanyahu of 600 Hezbollah dead is wildly overstated. He said there were perhaps 200K Lebanese Hezbollah fighters, plus fighters from outside Lebanon.
He said the Israelis cannot last another month.
He said the Israelis had advanced only 4-5Km in one direction and 7Km from another direction.

Codepink calls for the release of healthcare workers in Palestine incarcerated and abused by the Israelis
Reading about the plight of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank because of the barbarity of Israelis is difficult and I often don't read the distressing accounts.
I received an email from Codepink today about its campaign for the release of a Palestinian medic, Hussam Abu Safiya. He has been incarcerated by the Israelis for at least 500 days. His plight illustrates the targetting of medics by the Israelis, and it confirms the Israelis are not at war in the military sense of the word, but they are committing war crimes by targetting civilians and civilian infrastructure.
Codepink said:
"For months, we have been calling on the AMA [American Medical Association] to speak out for their colleagues in Gaza, particularly Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya. Dr. Abu Safiya is a Palestinian pediatrician who was kidnapped by Israel more than 500 days ago, has been subjected to severe torture, and whose life is in danger.
The AMA has ignored our petitions, our calls, our protests. That’s why we greeted AMA conference attendees with a massive billboard calling for the freedom of Dr. Abu Safiya and the hundreds of Palestinian healthcare workers who have been killed or kidnapped by Israel...the Zionist leadership of the AMA that ignored us [Codepink] for months" did draft a resolution, but "Ultimately, they didn’t pass the resolution. But all our efforts forced the conversation, and they know we will be back next year." said Codepink.
The outcome illustrates how ingrained and widespread the pro-Israelis are in American society and American organisations, such as the health sector. This systemic brainwashing and lobbying by the pro-Israelis means it is very hard for organisations such as Codepink to be heard and to force change that decent people would make very quickly on hearing the facts.
The AMA would have joined with Codepink in calling for the release of all healthcare workers arrested and incarcerated by the Israelis, but that won't happen because the pro-Israeli lobby won't allow it and also because these organisations survive on the money poured into them.
As so often, the deciding factor is money not ethics or morals. That is why American politics is so pro-Israel - it is full of US politicians bought by Israeli money. Trump is perhaps their biggest purchase - hundreds of millions of pro-Israeli dollars won him the presidency. He is paying back with the lives of tens of thousands of Palestinians and Lebanese.

FT.com - more FT-enabled US propaganda
12 Jun 2026
FT.com published a piece about Trump and 100m barrels slipping through Hormuz undetected by Iran. My FT comment was immediately sent to a Mod.
“This is a mish-mash of information that has the whiff of FT-enabled US propaganda:
Trump says the operation took place last month, but the opening paragraph says ships are passing daily. Are these ships still passing through or is that operation over?
It is inconceivable that
a) 100m barrels and over 200 ships slipped through Hormuz in the dead of night without the knowledge of Iran, and
b) that Trump has now revealed his "secret" because the Iranians have "figured it out"
Not a single comment from the Iran or the Oman governments. Not a single word from a vessel that slipped through. Instead, the FT cites unnamed sources.”

FT.com - more FT propaganda and censorship of comments
12 June 2026
FT.com published a piece about Trump backing down on last night's threats by him of bombing and invading Iran. His reason: an imminent deal. The usual rhetoric.
The piece was more FT misinformation. I posted four comments (see below) one after the other but each one was immediately sent to a Mod. It has the whiff of censorship because the comments were reasonable. I checked later in the day and saw all four comments had been published - a surprise.
4) “ "Israeli pressure tactics will continue to loom in the background"
Only a euphemistic footnote from a third party (nothing from the FT) about the Israelis - the principal instigators of the war and the cause of the "biggest energy crisis in decades." “
3) “Posting of reasonable comments + blocking of reasonable comments = censorship”
2) “FT misinformation:
No mention of the Israelis' recent bombing of Lebanon and Iran
Iran didn't trigger the energy crisis; the Israelis did by their illegal war of aggression on Iran.
1) “More disgraceful FT misinformation and propaganda.
a) "The apparent breakthrough comes after the US and Iran traded fire for two consecutive nights," says the FT
a) No mention by the FT of the Israelis' ongoing gratuitous bombing and ethnic cleansing of Lebanon in recent days, or their recent bombing of Iran.
b) "Iran’s ability to in effect close the narrow waterway...has triggered the biggest energy crisis in decades." says the FT
b) It is not Iran's "ability" to close Hormuz that has triggered "the biggest energy crisis in decades.", as the FT would have you believe. The "energy crisis" was "triggered" by the Israeli, Netanyahu, suckering Trump into their illegal war of aggression on Iran.

UK government harasses anti-zionist and pro-Palestinian activist by freezing his bank account
11 Jun 2026
Another worthwhile video by Flintoff. This one showed how anti-zionist activist, Tony Greenstein, had been attacked by the UK government, through the national Crime Agency, and the effect was his and his charity's bank accounts had been frozen. The bank had not informed him. He believes he was targetted by the government because he is pro-Palestine.
He talked of the sadistic Israeli soldiers in Palestine who oppress a charity he donates money to. He talked of the appalling excuses given by his former banker, the Nationwide for refusing to send money to Gaza. He successfully sued the Nationwide for closing his bond investment prematurely.
He was highly critical of the Financial Ombudsman who, he said, is a lapdog of the banks and useless.
He said "injustice Johnston" of Filton 24 infamy was a UK government agent and not an independent judge. Notably, he mentioned that Starmer and the Cabinet had rejected a paper by Streeting about the inhumane restrictions by the Israelis of medical aid.
"the rest the majority of the cabinet including Starmer were not interested [in what Streeting said of the Israeli restrictions] which shows us that Starmer is deliberately feeding a genocide" said Greenstein.

Beeley gives her view on the war in Lebanon, the fake ceasefire, and Hezbollah
11 Jun 2026
I watched another Flintoff video. Vanessa Beeley said "God bless the BBC. It always manages to just sort of um give cover to Israel for continued ethnic cleansing and genocide in in this region. It's just extraordinary." Her comment was in response to the BBC article (see image below).
Her point was one I also made on a similar FT article - there was no mention in the fake ceasefire agreed of the Israelis stopping their attacks, their murders, their bombing or their invasion of Lebanon. In other words, the BBC was spewing pro-Israel propaganda with its one-sided headline.
She mentioned Hezbollah was telling fighters from other groups, who wanted to fight alongside Hezbollah, to wait because Hezbollah was doing well on its own against the Israelis. Flintoff said Hezbollah had just 1200 versus 100,000 IDF yet they (hezbollah) were doing well on the ground. Beeley said that the danger for Hezbollah in its direct (close quarter) fights with the IDF, was the IDF would call for help from Israeli air strikes and that air cover would eliminate Hezbollah fighters who were unable to reach tunnels.

Strong criticism of Palestine Solidarity Campaign
11 Jun 2026
I watched this Flintoff video on the work of PSC and also its failings according to multiple insiders and knowledgeable and long-standing activists. A major failing was PSC's rejection of being anti-zionist. PSC is funded by trade unions and PSC staff are in paid positions. Some trade unions are zionists, so there is a concern that PSC is resisting anti-zionism in order to retain its union funding and salaried positions.
"All the actual genuine anti-Palestinian [he meant pro-Palestinian; anti-zionist] activists are banned from speaking at PSC."said Craig Murray.
"I think he leaves a terrible legacy to be quite honest. A legacy of appeasing and running away." said Tony Greenstein about former PSC senior member, Ben Jamal.
"they [PSC] made that I mean obscenely ridiculous decision to say that somehow the definition of anti-semitism that was being enforced on people had nothing to do with Palestinian liberation." said Jackie Walker
So on the whole, a lot of strong criticism of PSC. I too have felt that for all the many marches and all the tens of thousands of ordinary people who have attended them, what tangible impact have they had on stopping the governments and the murderous regimes committing genocide and ethnic cleansing, or of holding them to account for their crimes? None, in my opinion.
The reality is these criminals have beocme worse, enacting laws that stifle free speech, penalise people who speak up for Palestinians or who support Palestine Action, and these criminals continue their crimes with impunity.
Perhaps, without PSC and the hundreds of thousands of people who marched, these criminals would have gone farther and more quickly and perhaps the plight of Palestinians would have been much worse. I do think some of the speakers who step up on platforms to speak are paying lip service, spouting rhetoric that achieves nothing. I think Corbyn is one of these speakers. A good example was at the rally earlier this week opposite Downing Street at 6pm on 09 June.
Ranjeet Brar commented about the awful anti-semitism definition he is fighting, mentioned a book about the Labour party, and the murder by the Israelis of surgeon, Adnan al-Bursh.
Ruth appleton of Jewish Voice for Liberation praised Brar's work on fighting against the IHRA definition.
I watched this Flintoff video on the work of PSC and also its failings according to multiple insiders and knowledgeable and long-standing activists. A major failing was PSC's rejection of being anti-zionist. PSC is funded by trade unions and PSC staff are in paid positions. Some trade unions are zionists, so there is a concern that PSC is resisting anti-zionism in order to retain its union funding and salaried positions.
"All the actual genuine anti-Palestinian [he meant pro-Palestinian; anti-zionist] activists are banned from speaking at PSC."said Craig Murray.
"I think he leaves a terrible legacy to be quite honest. A legacy of appeasing and running away." said Tony Greenstein about former PSC senior member, Ben Jamal.
"they [PSC] made that I mean obscenely ridiculous decision to say that somehow the definition of anti-semitism that was being enforced on people had nothing to do with Palestinian liberation." said Jackie Walker
So on the whole, a lot of strong criticism of PSC. I too have felt that for all the many marches and all the tens of thousands of ordinary people who have attended them, what tangible impact have they had on stopping the governments and the murderous regimes committing genocide and ethnic cleansing, or of holding them to account for their crimes? None, in my opinion.

An anti-Palantir activist reveals insights about Palantir
11 Jun 2026
I came across this Flintoff video about an activist who has been covering Palantir closely. It was an insight of how Palantir wormed its way into government, using the disgraced Mandelson guy to get a meeting by Palantir with Starmer and the award to Palantir of a government contract(s).
It also explained how Palantir worked with the Israeli IDF to detain Palestinians. It also played a clip of the connection with Epstein.

FT.com - more FT censorship of its pieces about the Israelis
11 Jun 2026
The FT published another piece about exchange of US and Iran strikes. This did allow comments. My comment 1) was published (see below). It highlighted the FT's censorship by banning comments and by not reporting newsworthy events, such as the total ban on humanitarian aid into Gaza (see this link for an article on that total ban).
Such FT pieces are becoming standard fodder for readers - the contents are incredible because they regurgitate comments of US CentCom, Trump and Hegseth - all liars and not credible sources of information.
There was a FT piece about the Israelis but yet again, the FT did not allow any comments.
Comment 1) was later removed so I posted comment 2) (immediately below), which was also published but I am almost certain it will also be removed.

The Israelis' new doctrine of total extermination of men, women and children
10 Jun 2026
Crooke (on a Hedges video) talked about a new Israeli "doctrine" post 7 Oct 2023 called "permanent security to the root". He heard of it through the Hebrew media.
Crooke said
"permanent security means that you do not allow any threat to arise that might now or in the future attack you."
"to the root translated means even children and women you know because they could bring up another generation that could be a threat to us [Israelis]"
The Israelis' justification for this doctrine of total elimination (including women and children) is that the Israelis are claiming 7 Oct 2023 was a holocaust and they must not allow this to happen in future and to ensure it does not happen, they intend to adopt the new doctrine.
Crooke said the Oct 2023 attack was not a holocaust.
Crooke said the inclusion of Lebanon and Gaza in a ceasefire deal with Iran was unacceptable to the Israelis because it prevents their new doctrine which requires the complete elimination of Hezbollah. Crooke also noted that Trump had not prohibited the Israelis from continuing their ethnic cleansing of south Lebanon, just to stop their bombing of Beirut.

FT.com - masked white racist thugs in Belfast terrorise innocent people of colour; Arlene Foster should be ashamed
10 Jun 2026
I came across a FT article about white racist violent thugs in Belfast (Northern Ireland). I was sorry for the innocent people of colour being terrorised by these racists, and outraged by the comments of a person called Arlene Foster. I sent her an email expressing my dismay (see below).
There were many videos about the racists in Belfast burning innocent families' homes and driving them out of their homes in terror if they escape alive. Some headlines focussed on immigration instead of condemning the terror and arson of the rampaging racists who are burning homes and terrorising innocent people of colour. These headlines weren't expressing outrage and horror at the scenes of burning homes and what is being done, if anything, to stop these racists. Nor were they concerned about the safety of the innocent victims. Their headlines instead were about immigration. Some were ambiguous about their theme.
I came across a Galloway video that included a segment about the violent white racist thugs and arsonists in Belfast. At first, I thought Galloway's monologue was too much about the attacker, and I was going to write to him about his lack of concern for people of colour being attacked, but then he turned and talked about the fact that these racists and arsonists are only concerned about the colour of their target's skin.
He asked what did the Indian family burned out of their home in East Belfast have to with the attacker? He then asked the question. presumably to white racists and arsonists and all those who condone such depravity: "are you going to murder people because they are the same colour?"
Some months ago, I heard of one racism in Southern Ireland. I sent of one or more emails to people about these attacks. I never got a response. Now, racist attacks are occurring in Northern Ireland, and not for the first time.
Attacking innocent people is not a response unique to whites. Hindus in India, for example, massacred thousands of innocent Sikhs across India, especially in Delhi, after Gandhi was assassinated by two Sikhs in 1984.
The government and the media can either whip up hatred and incite more violence, or they can condemn the violaters and take immediate and effective action to stop them. Farage, Musk, and others of their kind have chosen the former path, and they must be condemned for it.

Northern Ireland Justice Minister Naomi Long condemned the attacks as racism and blamed online "bad faith actors" for inflaming tensions. Police confirmed the stabbing is not being treated as terrorism." (Talk TV)
........................
"To: Arlene Foster
I read your statement in the article published by the FT, titled: "Social media platforms warned over role in fuelling Belfast riots"
you said:
“This isn’t about race. This is about immigration...Untrammelled immigration is the issue and that’s what we need to focus on.”
I am utterly disgusted by your twisting of reality, and by your lack of concern for the safety of innocent people of colour targetted by white racist thugs, especially the terrified women and children.
If you had any humanity, the safety of those innocent victims would be your immediate concern, and you'd be calling for these racist thugs to immediately stop attacking people of colour.
These white racists thugs are not interested in knowing the citizenship or immigration status of a person of colour. The colour of their skin is all the excuse they need to attack them, their home or their place of business, including those people of colour who have as much right to reside in Belfast as these white racists.
The law says a person is innocent until proven guilty. What crime have these coloured people committed? None.
These white racist thugs are treating any person of colour as being "guilty" and they are behaving as though they are judge, jury and a lynching mob.
Their behaviour and your comments are not the behaviour of decent, compassionate, law-abiding people.
You should be thoroughly ashamed."
..............
Foster replied this evening
"You clearly didn’t listen to the full interview from which this article was lifted, or you would not be writing me abusive emails. I have spent the day condemning the violence soplease desist from sending incorrect statements."
I sent her a reply this evening:
.......
"Please send me the "full interview" you refer to and I will reconsider my opinion of you. Until then, I stand by my statements.
I had no knowledge of the "full interview" nor have I read its transcript or listened to it.
The email I sent to you (one email only; not multiple emails you claim I have sent to you) is not "abusive" because I made my comments based on a reasonable and rational assessment and interpretation of what you actually said.
My statements are not "incorrect", because they are based on what you actually said.
If you're statement in the FT is out of context, one-sided, false, or is not a complete or fair representation of all you said, then I suggest you take that up with the FT. I also suggest you publish your rebuttal to set the record straight.
I searched online just now (see links below) to see if you have been condemning the violence. From what I saw, what you have said about the violence is not condemnation, but it is half-hearted. Please send me links if you feel this is an unfair assessment.

FT.com - FT continues its policy of blocking ALL comments on its articles about the depraved and barbaric Israelis
10 Jun 2026
The FT published a couple of pieces and it blocked ALL comments on each one. One was about the downing of a US helicopter.
The other article was about a plague of rats that have been feeding off Palestinians murdered by the Israelis who are still buried under rubble, and off sewage and other waste piling up in Gaza.
The disgusting Israelis are responsible for the plague of rats. Not content with genocide and ethnic cleansing, Israelis have added to Palestinians' misery by blocking equipment needed by Palestinians to clear the rubble, sewage and the waste, and to bury murdered Palestinians.
Is it any wonder that Israelis are despised across the world for perpetrating such inhumanity?
The FT is complicit in allowing Israeli inhumanity to continue because of the FT's propaganda and its blocking of ANY COMMENTS on so many of its articles about the Israelis. Those blocks shield the Israelis from public criticism they deserve and without that criticism being publicised, the Israelis continue their inhumanity and their barbarity towards Palestinians.

Rally outside Downing St - 09 Jun 2026 to protest against Israeli inhumanity and barbarity across West Asia
09 Jun 2026
I attended the rally at 6pm opposite Downing Street to protest against the barbaric and inhuman Israelis who are waging wars across Lebanon, Gaza, and Iran. It was a rally calling on the UK government to stop its complicity in those Israeli atrocities. The UK government is seeking to increase its military spending and decrease its spending on essential services and social welfare.
More UK military spending is good news for warmongers and the people who will profit from war, but it is bad news for millions of ordinary citizens. It is especially bad news for those in financial distress because of the energy and food crises caused by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil's illegal war of aggression on Iran.

FT.com - shameful understatement by FT.com and more US propaganda

FT.com published a piece about more ships passing through Hormuz according to US reports. It was more US propaganda. FT should be ashamed about understating the war on Iran. Both of my comments were published.

Major developments in the illegal war of aggression on Iran
09 Jun 2026
A couple of insightful videos today. Lascaris gave his views to Diesen of how the Israelis were attacking Lebanese people and murdering them without any obvious military justification.
"what I'm seeing here outside of Beirut...is a campaign of terror uh in the south" Lascaris said.
He said Hezbollah was "born as a, uh, as a reaction in the 1980s to, uh, Israeli occupation and aggression."
He was, rightly, scathing of the puppet Lebanese leadership for its ceasefire agreement with the Israelis: "that ceasefire agreement did not require Israel's troops to withdraw from Lebanon. That ceasefire agreement did not require Israel's troops to stop destroying civilian infrastructure in the parts of the uh south that they temporarily temporarily occupy. Uh it actually called for the disarmament of Hezbollah without calling for the disarmament of Israel, which frankly I regard as the greatest obscenity of all." This were points I also commented on in a FT article that received around 23 recommendations.
"how can any reasonable uh person with a sense of fairness and decency say that these groups [resistance groups in the region, such as Hezbollah and Hamas] must be disarmed, divested of their light weapons while Israel, which is carrying out these monstrosities, can remain armed to the teeth, including with nuclear weapons...if people want to talk about disarming resistance groups, whether it be Hezbollah or any other group in the region, first they must ensure that Israel has been devested of its weapons and particularly its weapons of mass destruction." Lascaris added.
He said the Israeli military was in very serious trouble, partly and that it was not set up for drawn-out wars of the kind it is facing in Iran.
He also rejected the notion that the US is angry with the Israelis. he thought that was drama to distance the US from the depraved Israelis but the US fully supported the Israelis because they are instrumental to US interests in the region. The US, he said, had recognised decades ago, the value of the region to the US, not least its oil.
He said Iran had moved to a new phase: of "disproportionate retaliation" instead of "commensurate retaliation", meaning attacking in retaliation with greater impact than the impact of the attack on it.
Her said Hormuz was Iran's nuclear weapon.
He said if Iran overcame the economic warfare waged on it by the US and its allies, then Iran would become the regional hegemon and not the Israelis. He warned that the US-Israeli Axis of Evil is not ready to accept Iran as a regional power and so the war will continue and it will escalate so will the global economic crises, until the Axis of Evil "recognize uh Iran's status in the region and allow it to assume its rightful place in the world." he said.
In another video, Pape told Nawfal that he thought Iran was behaving in a way that signalled its intentions to become the fourth world superpower, and the two latest developments reported by Nawfal supported his belief: a US helicopter downed in Hormuz by Iran, and Hezbollah foot soldiers going into Israeli-occupied Palestine.

FT.com - FT censorship of its articles about the Israelis
09 Jun 2026
I have felt frustrated and annoyed about the number of articles about the Israelis where no comments are allowed or where my comments have been blocked and not published. My three comments on a piece were all sent to a Mod and then all further comments were stopped on that article and so none of my comments were published (see 08 Jun post below). It takes a lot of time and thought to craft then post a comment so it is frustrating to then find it is blocked. That frustration is multiplied when variations of it are created but they too are blocked.
Today, I expressed my views on FT censorship in an article about the Israelis. Comment 1) (farthest below) was published, for now. I checked a few hours later and noticed comment 1) had been deleted by the FT. I therefore posted comment 2). That was also published, for now. I checked perhaps 8 minutes later and comment 2) had also been deleted by the FT. I posted comment 3) and checked later and saw it too had been removed. I then posted comment 4) making sure I did not mention the "Israelis" and instead used an equivalent expression.

Iran is ready to take a bullet for Lebanon and proves it still has military capability disproving what the Axis of Evil said
08 Jun 2026
The Cradle (Sweidan) noted that the retaliatory strikes by Iran on the apartheid state of the Israelis, were significant for two reasons:
Marandi said (in a Diesen video) that the Red Sea was now partially shut by Yemen and that no ships were now passing through Hormuz (versus roughly 25 ships were passing per day before the Israelis bombed Beirut and crossed Iran's red line). The US-Israeli Axis of Evil has therefore miscalculated in thinking Iran would not retaliate to the Israelis' bombing of Beirut, and their aggression has made matters worse for the global economy.
Marandi reiterated Iran's terms: an end to the slaughter in Gaza; and end to the war in Lebanon; sanctions on Iran's energy must be lifted; stolen assets must be returned to Iran. In return, Iran will re-open Hormuz to pre-war levels.
Mirandi said of the Israelis' tactics: "on the battlefield they [Israelis] they don't know how to deal with the resistance and the only thing they know is to is to to slaughter ordinary people"
Marandi said "the Iranians have also been more insistent on Gaza ever since uh the regime decided to attack Beirut few days ago."
The Cradle (Sweidan) noted that the retaliatory strikes by Iran on the apartheid state of the Israelis, were significant for two reasons:
- Iran has stood by Lebanon by insisting that Lebanon is included in a peace deal. Iran has shown its loyalty to the Axis of Resistance (which includes Lebanon) and has shown it is ready to be attacked and suffer damage, for the sake of Lebanon;
- Iran has displayed to the US that Iran still has the ability to attack and that display disproves the lies Trump made about all Iranian assets being destroyed.

FT.com - FT closes further comments on another objectionable piece about the Israelis
08 Jun 2026
FT.com published an article by Rachman that I found objectionable. I have previously been critical of his writing and was surprised his response to my criticism was so pathetic and petty. "Grow up", he replied.
My three comments (see below) on Rachman's latest piece were not published and now further comments have been closed, and might never be published. I therefore sent an email to the FT (see below). It is disgraceful to see the FT block my comments.

My comments were reasonable and should not have been restricted.
3) “Rachman's "war" in Gaza for three years is a whitewash term; a euphemism for three years of depravity, inhumanity, and barbarity by the apartheid state.”
2) “Rachman's "war" is a whitewash; a euphemism.
Israelis have been engaged for the last three years not in "war" in the conventional sense of the word, but in inhumanity and depravity. That has been underscored by Israelis banning of ALL humanitarian aid into Gaza in response to Iran's missiles.”
1)“The Israelis have not been at "war" for the last three years in Gaza as Rachman would have you believe. His "war" is a euphemism; a whitewash.
Israelis have been engaged in behaviour far more tragic, inhuman, and barbaric than conventional "war" involving soldiers on the battlefield; man-to man combat.
Israelis have just added another rung to their depravity in response to Iran's missiles - stopping ALL humanitarian aid to Palestinian women, children, and babies.”

Israelis escalate their war on Iran
08 Jun 2026
Johnson and Dawson said on this video by Moral Resistance and Sulaiman Ahmed, that the Israelis were arrogant (and Aguilar agreed), and Dawson added they were also smug, stupid, and ignorant. Dawson gave the example of the Israelis thinking that murdering Iran's leader would be job solved and the Israelis had no plan B. Dawson referred to UAE as East Israel.
The Israelis attacked Iran at multiple sites overnight - an escalation compared to Iran's limited attack earlier (which was retaliatory). Aguilar said the US were "involved" in the latest Israeli attacks on Iran but US will say they did not "participate", or vice versa, i.e., they will twist the truth by misusing words and their true meaning. The Israelis confirmed the US were involved.
Aguilar said Iran will hit back harder and measured but still at military targets.
Dawson exposed the depravity of the Israelis - their carpet-bombing of civilians, their raping of prisoners. He said the Israelis were devoid of reason, empathy, and basic humanity and everyone hates them and that no amount of PR would save them now the world has seen what they have done to other humans - they don't regard the Palestinians as humans.

He said the Israelis were devoid of reason, empathy, and basic humanity and everyone hates them and that no amount of PR would save them now the world has seen what they have done to other humans - they don't regard the Palestinians as humans.
FT.com - more FT propaganda that attacks Iran and shields the Israelis

"Oil prices jump after Iran missiles threaten fragile ceasefire"
That was the disgraceful headline by the FT today. The FT yet again pointed the finger of blame at Iran with no mention of the culprits - the Israelis - until farther down in the body of the article.
Iran's attack was retaliatory - the Israelis had attacked Beirut, even after Iran had warned them an attack would be returned by Iran, and it was.
Yet again, the FT blocked all comments.
Perhaps an hour later, the FT published an article with the headline "Explosions heard in central Tehran as Israel and Iran trade air strikes" i.e., no clear and unambiguous statement that the Israelis had fired at Iran. Instead, the headline was the two sides were trading strikes.

FT.com - FT.com yet again blocks all comments on articles about the Israelis thereby controlling the narrative
08 Jun 2026
FT.com yet again blocked all comments in its pieces about the Israelis (article and this article and this article, and this article). I sent emails to the FT criticising them for such blocks and that tactic enables them to control the narrative.

Trump continues to denigrate Iranians with his vile rhetoric
07 Jun 2026
"I had to stop a country - a very powerful, very dangerous country - from having a nuclear weapon because they'd use it. They'd blow up the world. They are nuts. They are crazy people,...You don't want to let them have a nuclear weapon and I'm doing the world a service."

Iran retaliates to Israeli bombing of Beirut
07 Jun 2026
Johnson claimed (on a Nawfal video) the Israelis bombed Beirut in an attempt to derail the agreement between the US and Iran, knowing Iran would retaliate and that exchange would drag the US back into the war with Iran.
Iran did launch 20 missiles when it retaliated to Israeli aggression in Beirut, but instead of going into a rage about Iran's strikes, Trump was extremely reserved. His muted response was different to the expletives he spat at the Iranians and his threat to send them back to the Stone Age. Iran's strikes were relatively muted and more of a signal to the Israelis that they can do far more if the Israelis strike again, said Johnson.
Reports also surfaced in recent days that the Israelis are highly active in spying on the Americans.
The leak about Israelis spying on the Americans in nothing new; they have been spying for decades on them. One theory for the Israelis' higher level of spying is they are desperate to find out what the Americans are discussing with the Iranians.
The US might have leaked the news of Israelis spying to shame and isolate the Israelis to pressure them into backing off from further attacks on Lebanon or Iran. The reason for applying that pressure on the Israelis is to allow the US to execute a deal with Iran.
Johnson thought the majority of Israelis want to eliminate the Palestinians and war on Iran.

Barbaric Israelis murder displaced Palestinians in their tents and stop ALL humanitarian aid into Gaza
07 Jun 2026
MeidasTouch revealed in a video that the barbaric Israelis continue to murder innocent Palestinians - even those who have been displaced by the Israelis and are rotting in tent camps. There is no floor to the depravity and inhumanity of these murderous Israelis. Not content with driving Palestinians out of their homes and off their land, then starving them and denying them the basics for life, they also murder Palestinians, including children, in their make-shift tents.
Nawfal noted in his video that the Israelis "halted all humanitarian aid to Gaza until further notice". This is how these barbarians and respond after being struck by Iran (Iran retaliated because the Israelis bombed Beirut). An analogy would be a violent deranged husband (the Israelis) who picked a fight with a man (Iran) and lost and so in a rage he goes home and beats his wife (Palestinians).

Uygur and Piker UK ban exposes UK government's double standards
The UK government denied UK entry to Uygur and Piker "on the grounds that their presence in the UK may not be conducive to the public good," said the Home Office.
Yet more UK government double-standards on display. The UK government:
Here are a couple of 05 Jun videos where they discuss the ban on entry (link) and (link).
Uygur claimed the UK government bans were instigated by the Israelis.
Yet more UK government double-standards on display. The UK government:
- welcomed Herzog - the Israeli who called for collective punishment of Palestinians;
- they got into a political rage over a police ban on a thuggish and racist band of Israelis who were denied UK entry to a football match in Birmingham, yet
- they deny entry to two people because they have been critical of the apartheid Israeli state.

Israeli properties built on stolen Palestinian land will be marketed at an event in London - Mahmood must not allow this
05 Jun 2026
PSC asked me to write to the UK Home Secretary (Mahmood) about the event in London at which stolen Palestinian land will be on sale.
PSC said:
"On 14 June, the ‘Great Israeli Real Estate Event 2026’ is to be held London. This disgraceful event promotes the sale of stolen Palestinian land. It is openly advertising that this will include property in ‘Gush Etzion’, an illegal Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank.The unlawful appropriation of property by an occupying power amounts to the crime of pillage, which is prohibited by both the Hague Regulations and Fourth Geneva Convention and is a war crime under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
We are calling on the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, to take all necessary steps to ensure that criminal charges are brought against those involved in these grave violations of international law and to stop the ‘Great Israeli Real Estate Event’ from going ahead.
This event must be stopped: join us and write to Shabana Mahmood demanding she takes action to ensure that this criminal event is not allowed to take place in London."
PSC's letter that I edited and signed, is below:
"Stop the sale of stolen Palestinian land
UK Home Secretary, Mahmood
On 14 June, the ‘Great Israeli Real Estate Event’ is to be held in London. This event is openly advertising the sale of land in ‘Gush Etzion’, an illegal Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank. It is unthinkable that this illegal activity should be allowed to go ahead. We urge you to take all necessary steps to ensure that criminal charges are brought against those who are enabling the sale of stolen Palestinian land and to prevent the event from going ahead.
Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states that it is illegal for an occupying power to transfer its own civilian population into the land it occupies. The unlawful appropriation of property by an occupying power amounts to the crime of pillage, which is prohibited by both the Hague Regulations and Fourth Geneva Convention and is a war crime under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
Israel’s settlements in occupied Palestinian territory, which displace the indigenous Palestinian population and steal Palestinian land, are illegal under international law.
This event is a blatant attempt to further Israeli land grabs within the West Bank, by inviting new settlers to purchase stolen Palestinian land. Meanwhile, Palestinian refugees who have been displaced by Israel, and their descendants, are denied the ability to exercise their legally enshrined right of return.
The website advertising this event makes clear that it is working with Bank Leumi, an Israeli bank which finances construction in illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank. This event is clearly deeply embedded in Israel’s project of colonial expansion: it facilitates the sale of land that has been stolen from Palestinians, and advertises an attractive image of life in an apartheid state that is carrying out a genocide.
Since 1967, Israel has constructed tens of thousands of houses on Palestinian land to accommodate illegal settlers while at the same time demolishing an estimated 50,000 Palestinian homes and other structures essential to life, including agricultural buildings and water tanks. This too is illegal under international law.
The British government must ensure that the Metropolitan police investigate this event’s illegal activity, and take urgent steps to prevent this illegal sale from taking place."
It is disgusting to see double standards being applied by the UK government - it denies entry of people are reasonably and justifiably critical of the Israelis, yet it allows an event in London that seeks to sell Israeli properties illegally built on stolen Palestinian land.
I sent an email to PSC (info@...) saying:
"I hope this email is read and actioned.
In addition to writing to Mahmood, you should also ask the public to
write to their MP to ask the MP to lean on Mahmood and
write to Khan (mayor) to ban this event."

The stages of the coming global economic crisis caused by of the US-Israel Axis of Evil's war on Iran
05 Jun 2026
An academic (Murphy) set out the seven stages of the coming economic crisis. One of these is the central banks will increase interest rates to counter the rising oil price. He says this interest rate rise, if it happens. will be a mistake and it will actually make the crisis worse. He claims a rise in interest rates is not needed because there is no excess demand.
He says there is a reduction in demand for non-essential, because consumers will be cutting their spending on non-essentials so they can pay for essentials. Since there is no excess of demand, he argues there is no need to raise interest rates. An increase in interest rates will make demand for non-essentials even worse and so the economic crisis will worsen if central banks raise interest rates.
He goes on to say the next stages will be a shortage of products, including oil and its derivatives. Oil reserves are falling. Shortages in products will lead to rationing. Shortages of oil will disrupt supply chains and delivery of products and disrupt the supply of food. Shortages of inputs to the food chain, such as fertilisers, will further reduce food yields and supply of food. Sustained supply chain reductions will mean some businesses will collapse. That will coincide with smaller working hours to keep businesses afloat. The last stage will be a banking crisis by the end of the year - because of loan defaults because of unemployment and business collapses.

FT.com - more FT propaganda by blocking all comments
04 Jun 2026
FT.com published a piece about Hizbollah rejecting the fake "ceasefire" - see post below. It was another propaganda piece by the FT and yet another article that blocked all comments. I sent an email to the FT about its censorship.
It is odd the so-called heads of state who claim to lead Lebanon are not condemning the Israelis for invading and ethnically cleansing Lebanon, or calling on the US to help them remove the Israelis from Lebanon. Nor are they calling on the Lebanese army to fight the invading Israelis. It's not so odd when one realises these "leaders" are puppets of the US-Israeli Axis of Evil.
The FT writes "Beirut has sought to neuter the group in the past," What or who is "Beirut"? The FT does not explain. The FT adds: "The joint statement underscores the growing divide in the country over the group and its ties to Iran," yet the FT does not provide any evidence supporting its claim the "growing divide in the country over the group".
It is quite possible that the opposite is true, that Lebanese people are rallying around Hizbollah and are showing increasing allegiance to it. The FT could be just spewing propaganda on behalf of the US-Israeli Axis of Evil and its Lebanese puppets. There was no option to challenge these FT statements because the FT had blocked all comments. This is credibility to the view that the FT is engaging in propaganda and does not want to be challenged about it.

US regime and Gulf allies' lies and propaganda have been disproved
03 Jun 2026
MeidasTouch (MT) video busted the lies the US regime including its CentCom spewed - saying Iran's missiles did not hit their targets or cause damage.
See also this MintPress video link at 13mins that disproves the narrative of CentCom and Gulf states saying there was no impact of missiles.
The video presenter says Iran has denied it attacked the Kuwait Airport that was hit. In a 04 Jun 2026 article by Fars News, Iran denied attacking the Kuwait airport and said claims that it had struck was a false flag. Iran's IRGC added: “The destruction of the Kuwait airport passenger terminal was caused by an error in American Patriot systems, which came down on the terminal after failing to intercept Iranian missiles,”
MT showed images and video of devastation - destroyed US military assets and the adjoining Kuwaiti airport. These images prove beyond doubt that the US are lying. MT also posted messages from Iranians about the strikes and defiantly telling the US that Iran will retaliate - as they have done with significantly more effect than the attacks by the US and its Gulf states allies. MT also mentioned the pathetic comment by Rubio that the war is over.
"it is deeply saddening to see, that SenCom [CentCom] lies about everything. We told you about these devastating strikes yesterday. We were able to see that the ballistic missiles and the drones from Iran appear to be hitting their targets despite what Sentcom was saying. And now we're actually seeing the consequences of that in photos and videos that are undeniable. Even Kuwait had to acknowledge through its foreign ministry the casualties and what actually transpired." said MT
MT summarised the sequence of attacks in recent days:
In this 06 Jun 2026 Haiphong interview, Sleboda strongly rejects CentCom announcements as lies - which confirms my view of CentCom credibility that I mentioned in one of my FT comments."They're just straight-up lying...we know extensive damage continues to be done to the targets Iran is hitting and CentCom claims of intercepting every missile and no damage being done are 100% false...It is the same narrative fed while the full-on conflict was raging and it was only in the aftermath when denial couldn't be continued that the US grudgingly acknowledged the extent of the damage to its bases" he said
He said Iran is escaping from the US's "ceasefire trap" by attacking multiple targets in retaliation to each US attack. He said that Iran could then move up the to escalatory ladder by launching attacks (not retaliatory strikes, as at present) that the US could not stop. He said Trump's frequent comments about an imminent deal is nonsense and a ploy to depress the oil price.
Haiphong and Sleboda acknowledged the "narrative management" going on by the US. Haiphong showed a clip of Trump first saying the war on Iran was just a "conflict" but shortly after this he talked of the "war" on Iran, admitting it is a "war".
Sleboda says that Trump, even in view of evidence to the contrary, continues to spew nonsense to the mainstream media, and the latter don't say the Emperor has no clothes, because if they did, then they'd be excommunicated from audiences Trump they no longer report on Trump so the media reshapes the reality of the conflict through the Trump narrative. He said in Ukraine they refuse to acknowledge reality and erode it by construction of the diplomatic narrative.

MT summarised the sequence of attacks in recent days:
- the United States fired with hellfire missiles and destroyed a tanker that was leaving the straight of Hormuz. The United States said this was defensive in nature to enforce the blockade.
- Iran retaliated by striking a US-backed tanker (owned by some magnate close to Trump)
- the United States responded by attacking Keshum Island and Iranian assets, including telecommunications assets and radar assets there.
- multiple waves of ballistic missiles were sent by Iran and drone swarms sent by Iran to Bahrain and Kuwait. also some areas in northern Iraq as well.

British government's double standards on display yet again
03 Jun 2026
Palestine Chronicle published a piece about the double standards of the British government. The article highlighted the contrasting action taken by the UK government.
The government revoked the passport of a British citizen (a teenager), who married a member of IS, yet the UK government has not lifted a finger to investigate the thousands of Brits who enlisted in the Israeli military, to determine whether or not anyone of them is guilty of genocide, ethnic cleansing, or war crimes perpetrated by the Israelis.
The article also noted the UK government had refused entry of US commentators Uygur and Piker. Why did the UK government block them? "comments critical of Israel were the reason for refusing them entry."
It's one law for the Israelis and their supporters and another for those who rightly criticise the barbarity and crimes of the Israelis. Double standards.

Palestinian murdered by Israelis as he tried to get to work
03 Jun 2026
Palestine Chronicle reported a young Palestinian was murdered by Israelis as he attempted to get over the illegal wall erected by the Israelis in order to get to work.
This is the life ordinary Palestinians must endure each day under Israeli illegal occupation of Palestine. the second image below shows the victim being lowered from the wall he tried to escalate to get to hiw place of work.
"Palestinians, the United Nations and international legal bodies have long argued that it [the wall] serves to annex occupied land and fragment Palestinian communities. In 2004, the International Court of Justice issued an advisory opinion declaring the wall illegal because it was built on occupied Palestinian territory." said the Chronicle

FT.com - more FT propaganda by omission re: the Israelis
03 Jun 2026
FT.com published a piece about UK MPs calling to end a Palantir contract. FT did mention Palantir's US defence and US immigration connections but did NOT mention Palantir's connection with the Israelis, i.e., brazen propaganda by omission, yet again I then posted a comment about the government's ESG failures. Comments 1) and 2) were published. I noticed 1) (about propaganda by omission) had been removed so I posted 3). It was published, for now.
On 04 Jun, I noticed 3) had been removed, so I posted comment 4) (just a single sentence) which was published, for now.
On 05 Jun, I came across this 05 Jun Double Down News video on Palantir.

US hegemony after WWII and the dollar recycling system; European, US and Israeli savagery
02 Jun 2026
Varoufakis & Wolff (V&W) discussed capitalism and the Israelis in this Diem25 video.
Wolff compares the Israelis to what the Europeans did in North America to the indigenous people, i.e., genocide and ethnic cleansing. Wolff said the Americans [meaning the Europeans, I presume] were deeply-rooted in ethnic cleansing and genocide, and I guess that culture explains why they are supporting the Israelis doing what the Europeans did centuries earlier. Wolff said what the Israelis are doing now would have succeeded in the colonial period but won't in a post-colonial world that exists now.
"I listen to people that are spokespersons for what the Israelis are doing and their speech about Palestinians is about savages...they're not really people you can kill them in large numbers and they remain the savages who you have to kill it it it becomes the logic of a settler colonialism." said Wolff
V gave the case of Australian aborigines being treated as savages by European settlers as a pretext for genocide and theft of aborigine land:
There were 5 million Aborigines there. They said, "Well, we will declare it teranulio, an empty land, a land without a people for a people without a land." And of course, once you look at 5 million humans and you say these are not they're not here, that's the first step towards genocide. Um, and you know, it's no accident that the Zionist um mantra is a land without the people for a people without the land." said V.
Varoufakis recounted a conversation with a Palantir person. The Palantir guy said "Gaza, Gaza, we owe such a huge debt of gratitude to Gaza."
This gratitude was because terrorised Palestinians are in a state of flux (movement) and that movement enabled Palantir AI to learn how to create order out of chaotic situations. He was immensely grateful to the Gazans because their experience enabled Palantir to create AI that it then sold to the UK's National Health Service for £1 BILLION. In other words, the Palantir low-life was grateful for the tragedy of Gaza because it made money for Palantir.
V mentioned the development of the eurodollar and petrodollar systems and their connection to the US economy after WWII. The US needed to redeploy the factories that had been used to build things for wartime, and employ the population and the returning US soldiers.
The US concocted a plan to use Europe and Asia to buy goods made by the US and paid for by money lent to them by the US. V;s insight shines a very different perspective on what is said in textbooks about the purpose and creation of Bretton Woods and the system of fixed currency rates pegged to gold and the USD. It was a scheme to benefit the US, and was based around the USD. The convertibility to gold was NOT the point (teh gold convertibility was "symbolic"). The key was to make the USD central.
"the Breton wood system was the dollarization of Europe and Japan um with fixed exchange rates and a system founded on the revolving around the international mond fund [IMF] primarily to a lesser extent the World Bank" said V
V also explained how Kissinger and Volker schemed in the 70s to preserve US hegemony that existed after WWII. From 1945 to 1970, US surpluses of trade were sent to Europe. After 1970, the US changed from a surplus nation to a deficit nation. K&V schemed to reverse the flow of USD i.e., to coerce countries to send their USD to the US to fund US deficits. The flow of USD was therefore reversed in the period after 1970 compared to the direction of flow of USD in the period from 1945 to 1970.
V also mentioned how the Saudis (stooges of the US) and the US's CIA were central to the creation of petrodollars and recycling them back to the US. Even so, with so many dollars being earned, some went to Europe and established the eurodollar market.
The system of recycling dollars back to the US to fund its deficit enabled the US to not only maintain its hegemony but to increase it. Those USD were used to fund the US military complex and US military bases around the globe.
"For the first time in the history of humanity, you have an empire [US] that gets stronger the more into the red it gets because of this recycling mechanism." said V.
V said the announcement by Bessent of a $20bn swap line with the Gulf states was a ruse. The purpose of that swap line was to signal to Wall St that the US government was ready to Support Wall St. That support was needed because the war on Iran had decimated Gulf states and they were no longer able to deliver on their earlier promise to Trump that they would invest $1.8 TRILLION in the US. Bessent was saying, we will support Wall St.
Wolff noted the speech by Nixon where he threatened to imprison company execs if they raid prices. That warning kept the lid on inflation in the US for 6 months. Wolff's point was that markets and financial indicators such as inflation, can be controlled. He noted China has succeeded because it has a different approach to markets and profit-seeking company execs. jack Ma was cut down to size by the Chinese government limiting his profits (economic rents) to 5% - down from 60% rents he was enjoying.

Disgusting Israelis given a green light by the equally disgusting west to terrorise and commit genocide and ethnic cleansing in Lebanon
01 Jun 2026
Henningsen said on Haiphong's video, that the US-Israeli Axis of Evil is openly fomenting a civil war in Lebanon so the Israelis can grab more of Lebanon while the Lebanese are distracted in their civil war. He said the Israelis have murdered thousands of Lebanese people yet Hezbollah has only targetted military assets, so he rightly asked: who are the terrorists? It is the Israelis of course, yet the Israelis are allowed to murder, injure and ethnically cleanse with impunity and are given a green light from the US and of course, military hardware to do so.
He said that because the west have designated Hezbollah a terrorist organisation, the Israelis can do whatever they want because it will be seen as "collateral damage". This illustrates how the west has used terminology and the law as weapons to pursue its agenda of allowing the Israelis to realise their greater Israel project of death and destruction and land grabs of other nations, and to murder and ethically cleanse those in its path. He said they have annexed Syria and will never return that land. They are close to annexing Palestine, and now they have sights on Lebanon and to go beyond the Lattani River.
He said the west (France, UK, Canada, Germany, EU, US) support the Israelis perpetrating genocide and a scorched earth policy. "Those are western values in 2026"
He said genocides were being perpetrated in Lebanon and Gaza by issuing evacuation orders to Lebanese. The rules now are total annihilation. He said Iran and Lebanon could target Israelis with missiles if they occupy South Lebanon.
He said the Axis of Resistance members will never trust the US or the Israelis.
Haiphong noted the singular outlet (Axios) for US propaganda is a former Israeli operative. Henningsen said Axios is a disinformation platform with Israeli infiltration. "Iran International" is another propaganda outlet with Israeli input and was responsible for spreading fake news about tens of thousands of Iranians being murdered during a supposed uprising.
He applauded Iran for making Lebanon part of any agreement as that puts pressure on the US and the Israelis and on the west. He says the Israelis are realising their greater Israel project by taking Lebanon and Palestine and no one is going to stop them.
He said if Iran attacked now and so set the pace, then the US-Israeli Axis of Evil would be unprepared because they have not fully replenished their armaments. That could change the map of the region.
It is staggering how the western countries (or Asian countries or any country) have not sanctioned the Israelis for their barbarity. Not only have governments been completely silent, they have been terrorising their citizens for speaking out in support of the Palestinians or the Lebanese or for criticising the Israelis.
These governments are complicit by their silence, their inaction, and by their active support of the Israelis.

FT.com - finally the FT allows comments on a piece about the Israelis but all my comments are immediately sent to a Mod
01 Jun 2026
FT.com published a piece on the Israelis and the US-Iran peace talks that have been dragging on.
The article said Iran had suspended peace talks because of the barbaric Israelis' actions in Lebanon.
I posted a comment (see 1) below) but it was immediately sent to a Moderator. I then tried again, but same response. I kept trying but every comment was immediately sent to a Moderator, even the ones that were relatively benign. My various attempts are shown below. It is a disgraceful ploy as it effectively bars me from commenting. I then tried a test by posting just "Hello". That comment was also immediately sent to a Moderator. I don't know if the FT has flagged me for immediate referral of all my comments to a Moderator or whether other readers' comments are also ALL being sent immediately to a Moderator. Not allowing "Hello" to be published is suspicious.
I tried to find the Tasnim report the FT mentioned but I could not access the agency's website. I was therefore unable to read what the agency published to determine what the FT claimed was true and fair or FT propaganda for the US-Israeli Axis of Evil.
I found details of Tasnim announcements from a 01 Jun 2026 Meidas Touch video (see images below about posts by Tasnim Agency). Note, the posts mention "continuing crimes of the zionist regime in Lebanon." The FT said "Iran had made the decision in response to the expanding bombing campaign by Israel against Hizbollah in Lebanon and “ceasefire violations” on all fronts," The FT has deliberately omitted the reason stated by Tasnim about zionist crimes in Lebanon and instead the FT has replaced that reason with "the expanding bombing campaign by Israel against Hizbollah in Lebanon". This is a misrepresentation by FT of Iran's reasons for ending talks, and a misrepresentation that shields the Israelis.
It's certainly true to say the FT is shamelessly omitting to mention the wider Lebanese people who have been murdered, injured or displaced by the Israelis. It is a reminder of how indiscriminate the Israelis are in their murderous attacks that 1.6 million Lebanese have fled their homes.
This link has some information about the Iranians being critical of the Israelis' barbarity in Lebanon, but oddly, there is nothing about them suspending talks with the US.
This link to Palestine Chronicle mentions Iran's recent announcements and also Trump's announcement that the Israelis won't attack Beirut as planned. It also mentions Iran's warning to the Israelis if they do attack Beirut.
This MintPress video dissects the Trump announcement that the Israelis will not strike Beirut and Iran's very effective threat to hit the Israelis in occupied Palestine if they do strike Beirut. Note the disgusting Israeli manoeuvre to stop Hezbollah firing if the Israelis do not attack Beirut.
I checked and noticed that NONE of my 9 comments had been published. I posted comment 10 and that was immed sent to a Mod. The FT is disgusting for blocking of each of my ten comments, even the one that only said "Hello".
I noticed the FT article has been updated to include a recent post by Trump. He claims to have had talks with Hizbollah reps, which Henningsen and Haiphong found to be an absurd claim.
10) was immed sent to a Mod “Shameful misrepresentation by the FT - omitting the Lebanese civilian casualties of Israeli strikes and only mentioning Hizbollah as the Israelis' target.”

FT.com - South Africans perpetrate violent racist attacks on immigrants
01 Jun 2026
FT.com published a piece about South Africans violently attacking immigrants. These attacks appear to be timed to coincide with political elections and the government has not taken seriously and determined measures to stop them.
It was disappointing to see that the FT had yet again blocked all comments.
It is a shame to see people who have experienced apartheid and racial discrimination behave the same as their racist oppressors. Further, South Africa was at the forefront on condemning the Israelis for their inhumanity, yet South Africans are perpetrating their own brand of inhumanity.

It is a shame to see people who have experienced apartheid and racial discrimination behave the same as their racist oppressors. Further, South Africa was at the forefront on condemning the Israelis for their inhumanity, yet South Africans are perpetrating their own brand of inhumanity.
FT.com - more FT propaganda by blocking all comments on the US-Israeli Axis of Evil's illegal war of aggression on Iran
01 Jun 2026
FT.com published a piece with the title "US and Iran launch fresh strikes as peace efforts continue".
Yet again the FT blocked all comments. It is more disgraceful propaganda by the FT in support of the US and the Israelis.
How convenient this story broke on Monday when markets reopened for trading oil. The price is up 3% (see image below).
I again sent a critical email to the FT:
"It is utterly disgraceful that the FT did not allow any comments on its article.
https://www.ft.com/content/b425ebc9-18a9-4a0c-987d-10837df565bb?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.
This is yet another article about the Israelis' barbarity in Lebanon or Palestine that the FT has not allowed any comments."
