FT.com - Claims of antisemitism and anti-Israeli comments
30 Sep 2026
FT.com article that claims antisemitic and anti-Israel comments were made by a party member. Yet again, the FT blocked all comments, so I sent an email to the FT.
............................
Yet again, it is utterly disgraceful and cowardly for the FT to block all comments on its articles.
https://www.ft.com/content/11a29b88-5293-4574-8660-e9ec3107c819?syn-25a6b1a6=1
That prevention enables FT propaganda, bias, misinformation and framing - either the FT's own or contributed by third parties - to go unchallenged.
The blocking of all comments is censorship and, control of the narrative.
The FT should be ashamed.
"Far-right party leader denies allegations by French news site that he wrote anti-Israel messages as a teenager" says the FT's subtitle.
So what if he did make anti-Israel comments? Such criticism is neither illegal nor immoral, so why has the FT used this subtitle?
Is the FT conflating criticism of the murderous apartheid and genocidal Israeli regime with antisemitism? Is the FT mentioning the anti-Israel messages because, if true, they would damage the party's ties with the Israelis and perhaps funding?

FT.com - more shameful FT propaganda against Iran
29 Sep 2026
FT.com published a piece about a bunch of people arrested near a US military base on UK soil. The FT, to its shame, blocked all comments. The story is an example of propaganda by the UK and US regimes to smear Iran. This Double Down video supports the view that this story is propaganda. I sent a scathing email to the FT for blocking all comments and its control of the narrative.

The FT should be ashamed.
This piece is shameful propaganda that smears Iran and by its omission, supports Iran's adversaries, notably the WIIMPS (western-Israeli imperialists and supremacists).
The pieces talks of "Iran-backed plots" and connects Iran to criminal acts, but it does provide irrefutable evidence of Iran's culpability for such activity. The UK government - a staunch ally of the pro-Israelis comes out with a pathetically weak: Iran “almost certainly directed” the attacks. Almost is not the same as "did direct".
The piece talks of so-called attacks on "Jewish targets", but it fails to mention the possibility of these alleged attacks being red flags perpetrated by the Israeli regime to portray Iran as the terrorist and jews as the victims.
Such red flags would prove, again, that the Israeli regime is weaponising antisemitism and is willing to forsake jews in order to pursue its barbaric and inhumane agenda against Iran.
The testimony of the mysterious farmer is also suspicious. Her "large group" turns out to be just 5 people. Since they were covered-up, it's not clear how she knew they were men. It's odd she called the MoD first and not 999.
The bought lackey of the Israelis, Rubio, talks of a "foreign actor" behind the plot but like a coward and a liar, he fails to identify that "foreign actor" and defers such minor detail for later.
A lackey of the US regime in the mould of so many Brits before him, Burnham goes farther and names Iran but presents no conclusive evidence, only suspicion.
All the media attention to this incident reeks of a coordinated and planned smear campaign against Iran because the accusations are nothing more than accusations. Western media, including the FT, readily plays the role of mouthpiece to regurgitate and broadcast US-Israeli Axis of Evil propaganda that smears Iran. No media analysis, and no comments allowed - only a regurgitation of these malicious regimes' pulp fiction. It is a shameless display of a coordinated smear campaign by the WIIMPS against Iran.

WIIMPS are the root cause of global instability and suffering
27 Sep 2026
I stumbled upon a video in which an economist explained the diesel crisis in the USA. He said the US regime is exporting diesel to Europe at a whopping $100 per barrel. The US is getting rich with high oil prices. On that basis, why would Trump and his oil cronies want their war on Iran or the Ukraine-Russia war to end? Less oil means more profits for US oil executives.
"they're not going to stop exports the of diesel uh they're going to let the price rise in in the US so it's tied in with all the politics of strategic petroleum reserve which has resulted in in a massive uh uh profit increase for US oil companies." he said.
He also said the rise in US interest rates (the Fed raised it by 25bp) was not going to dampen inflation because the inflation was not caused by an overheating economy (demand) but by a supply shortage. Shortages of oil, commodities, and other inputs meant higher prices for them and that is driving prices up. Raising interest rates will exacerbate the financial distress felt by people who are paying more for energy, food, and all other manner of products that are linked to commodities.
He noted the US regime is printing more bonds to fund its deficit. The Europeans and the Canadians are buying the bonds no longer bought by China and Japan. It struck me that the UK should be spending money buying US bonds when it should be using that money to support UK citizens and UK infrastructure.
He said the Europeans might also stop buying US debt because they plan to spend more on militaries - to fight the Russians.
It all adds up to a deeply sick and warped state of affairs, and all because of the WIIMPS - western - Israeli Imperialists supremacists. In particular, the US regime is hell-bent on global instability through its wars and imperialism. Cut that regime out and stability would exist and money saved on warmongering could be spent on better services for citizens, lower fuel and food prices. It is such an easy fix, but it presumes the WIIMPS will change their mind, but that is not going to happen.

Why does the west support Netanyahu? Racial discrimination
25 Sep 2026
Haiphong and Henningsen discussed the vile and depraved racism of exiled people from South America, Iran, and Cuba. These outsiders are white and they look down on their darker-skinned fellow countrymen and women. These societies have 2-tier systems and steeped in discrimination and racial discrimination.
These revelations are new to me - though I had known of the racism in Brazil, where part of its citizens are dark-skinned and perhaps the descendants of slaves brought to Brazil.
These revelations are a reminder that racism is not confined to the west and to Europeans, but it exists across the world and it is perhaps even more entrenched and extreme.
"do you notice the Cubanameans in exile that are cheering on the starvation and collective punishment of
their former country? and look at the skin tone of them versus the Cubans in Cuba.Yeah, there's a big difference there, isn't there...a big big part of the of the Cuban Revolution was the fact that there was a two-tiered society in Cuba before that." said Henningsen "the whole entire oligarchy all across Latin America happen to be uh some of the whitest people you'll ever meet." said Haiphong
"travel to Miami, travel to DC, talk to, uh, some Cuban exiles andor Venezuelan, uh, so-called, uh, exiles and see what their world view is about not just their countries, [these exiles are] not stewards of freedom, but but truly stewards of some of the most demonic prejudice and anti-dehumanization you could think of"
A similar racial divide or two-tier class division exists between Iranians:
"it's not unlike Danny the way Iranian royalists regard regard Muslims in Iran and are quite happy to see them you know starve and are under under siege uh killed uh you know under sanctions forever"
"Why was there a civil war in Ukraine in 2014? Did it have anything to do with the fact that they [Ukrainians] tried to basically treat Russian speakers on a lower tier of society, making their language illegal, uh, discriminating against them," asked Henningsen.
Henningsen used Netanyahu to illustrate that 'birds of a feather stick together':
"Netanyahu is a perfect example [of racial tribalism]. You know what do Americans see when they see him on TV? Uh educated in Philadelphia, schooled in America, speaks with an American accent. You know, he's he's a white European. He's from Poland. And so they people can Europeans and Americans uh of similar types will relate to that. Mhm. That's like, oh, he's one of us and look who's fighting all these sort of, you know, brown skinned people, uh, Arabs. Um, they're not they're not us. They're not us. So, we're going to back our European brethren uh in this uh this this war, this fight. And and that's simple as that."

Stop the Game
FT.com - more shameful FT propaganda by omission
24 Sep 2026
FT.com published a piece on the US regime’s sanctions on Iran’s airlines. Comment 1) was not published - a shame because I'd spent ages crafting it.
1) “What is conspicuous by its absence in so many FT articles, is any mention by the FT of the legality or illegality (under domestic or international laws) of the acts of the US-Israeli Axis of Evil and its proxies, such as
the war on Iran; the bombing of Iran's civilian infrastructure; financial and economic sanctions on Iran; the freezing of Iran's assets; the murder of people in boats off the coast of Venezuela; the blockade of Cuba; the kidnap of Maduro. The list goes on and on.
Why has the FT not clarified the legal status of these acts? Is the FT shielding the Axis of Evil from from further public condemnation for criminal acts? If it is, then it is engaged in more propaganda by omission.”

FT.com - it continues to shield Israelis from public censure for their genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine
21 Sep 2026
FT.com provided further proof of its shameless shielding of Israelis from public censure over their genocide and ethnic cleansing. No comments were allowed, so I sent the FT an email expressing my disappointment and outrage at such propaganda by omission.

This article is a shameful FT whitewashing of Israeli genocide and ethnic cleansing.
"Israel’s war in Gaza." and "Israel’s conduct in Gaza." the shameless FT hack says. Such euphemisms conceal what is clear and obvious - the "war" and the Israelis' conduct are: genocide of Gazans and the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, by the Israelis.
The Hack did not mention Kraft is a pro-Israeli.
The FT did not contradict Sheeran's apolitical stance, when it is obvious he is political. Take, for example, his fundraiser for Ukraine. Where was his fundraiser for Palestine?
By not reporting these Israeli crimes against humanity, this article is further proof that the FT is deliberately shielding the Israelis from public censure over their genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Now nameless and shameless FT hacks don't even mention the US regime or that they, alongside the Israelis and Gulf state allies, started an illegal war on Iran in Feb 2026. FT hacks have reduced that war to just a date and the target.
These hacks have also reduced the war to no more than a "conflict" - copying the ploy of the US regime's vice-president.

It is shameful how the FT has shielded the Israelis and now the US from culpability for their murderous and illegal war of aggression on Iran, and for the global energy and food crises they have triggered.
This is not fair, transparent, and impartial journalism. It is propaganda for the Israeli and the US regimes.”

How the Nazis paid for their wars - by attacking and looting countries and jews.
20 Sep 2026
I watched a video on the Nazis and their rise to power from 1932 - 1939. A key fact was how they somehow used financial engineering (bills or promissory notes) to kick start the economy and employment. I don't understand how this worked in practical terms - who paid workers and how were the notes paid? The video was silent on these practical aspects.
Another revelation was how the Germans turned to hating jews - focussing on their money-lending and regarding them as tainting Aryan purity. I think those attacks were used as an excuse to steal jews' wealth to pay for the economy. That was not enough and so the germans next turned to annexation and invasion of neighbouring countries, starting with Austria and Poland, respectively. That supplied food and other commodities to the germans and it provided stolen money and gold - all of which enabled the germans to maintain their economic growth, productivity and manufacturing activity for their intended war.
What is clear is how german mentality and morality changed to one where they believed the weak had no rights nor title to assets so those assets could be taken from the weak by the strong.
"In this new economic paradigm which the Nazis were trying to put in place, Aryans were not supposed to buy. They could just take. They shouldn't pay.They should steal and steal principally from the Jewish population. The plundering of the Jews and the violence against Jews went hand in hand. It happened in Austria from March 1938. It happened with the pilgrim [pogrom] in Germany, sometimes called the night of broken glass on November 9th, 1938. Firstly, their belongings were confiscated. Secondly, communities were attacked, both synagogues and individuals. It created an atmosphere which was supposed to provoke Jews to leave the country. And on a more practical level, it brought in a great deal of wealth of money to the Reich. In the summer of 1938, an office was set up in Vienna specifically to deal with the immigration of Jews. This office was set up by Ikeman. Its aim was to tax the Jews heavily on their departure to force them to pay this tax and leave behind all their possessions in Austria. The same setup was copied in Berlin in January 1939. So it was clear from the outset that spoliation was linked to a mechanism of exclusion." The germans also fined the jews for the 'night of broken glass' even though the attack was by germans on jews.
The parallels between the nazis controlling jews and the israelis controlling Palestinians
Note the parallel with germans' annexation of Austria and invasion of Poland, with present day israelis annexing the West Bank and invading neighbouring countries: Syria and Lebanon. Later, the nazis penned jews into ghettos and then rounded them up and put them in concentration camps. Israelis have turned Palestine (Gaza) into a concentration camp and just as the germans controlled the movement of jews, so israelis control the movement of Palestinians. It's worse - the israelis control Palestinians' food, water, sanitation, medicines, housing, and energy needs.

Collings exposes the shameful favouritism of the British establishment for jews
20 Sep 2026
Collings (the artist) talked (in a Flintoff video) about his drawings of public figures. Collings gave an example of the shameful favouritism of UK media, government, and the police for jews:
"the falsity of the account that he's [Starmer] giving out and Lisa [Nandy] and giving out and [Yvette] Cooper is giving out along with the police and the media that uh only one societal group is worth public lamentation if there's a hate crime against them.
The other societal group which suffers statistically exactly the same amount of hate crimes. funny enough, statistically is not worthy of mention. So that is the Jewish side of the population versus the Muslim side when there's and and that was graphically illustrated weirdly so and horribly so on a single day on events of a single day where the same guy attacked a Muslim guy and then attacked two Jewish guys.
We only heard about the Jewish curse and we only heard that it was a terrorist attack on Jewish people and we only heard that Iran had told him to do it. You know all this outflow of nonsense and lies and misrepresentation."

Collings the artist is targetted by pro-Israelis
20 Sep 2026
Flintoff talked to Collings about his art on the genocide of Palestinians by the Israelis. He has suffered shameful attacks from zionists and pro-Israelis who have, falsely and unsurprisingly, accused him of antisemitism. The police did not agree with that accusation.
I looked at his Instagram account and saw an advert of an event by him at a gallery, however I could not find the event on the gallery's website. Perhaps UKLFI or some other pro-Israeli lawfare attackers, managed to pressure or threaten the gallery to cancel his planned event. I sent the gallery an email asking for confirmation (see below):

FT.com - Iran resorts to land routs for trade to bypass US regime's blockade
19 Sep 2026
FT.com article about Iran resorting to land routes to bypass the US regime's blockade. My comments were published:
2) “It is surprising to me that Iran has not smashed through the US regime's blockade. Perhaps the blockade is positioned beyond the reach of Iran's missiles or navy. Perhaps Iran is playing the waiting game and it thinks it will outlast the US regime's blockade and/or Trump's term in office.
It is also surprising and concerning that after so many years of western sanctions Iran has not built an efficient land (road and rail) transit system and systems to evade western regimes' sanctions.
Perhaps that poor infrastructure is a reflection of political corruption, in-fighting, or incompetence. I accept that even if Iran's supply chain systems were super-efficient, they will be slowed down by the weakest link in the international supply chain - such as the neighbouring countries' border controls and corruption.”
1) “It is shameful that a domestic and international terrorist (Trump) and his European and West Asian puppets, including of course, the Israelis, have collectively oppressed millions of decent ordinary people in West Asia. Their inhumanity has not been fleeting, but has lasted decades.
Iran has spectacularly rebuffed their collective military onslaught. It just needs to hold on and outlast their economic onslaught and see the dawn of a new global order and lasting peace.”

FT.com - FT shamelessly whitewashes the US-regime's culpability for scuppering the MoU with Iran
19 Sep 2026
FT.com article on the global oil market. Both comments were published.
2) “ "The deal [the US-Iran MoU] soon collapsed"
A cursory comment that effectively whitewashes the US-Israeli Axis of Evil's treacherous violation of multiple clauses of the MoU and their culpability for it collapsing.”
1) "Those numbers omit the six Gulf Cooperation Council nations,"
Doctoring the numbers (on global economic growth) without an explanation is disgraceful and tantamount to propaganda.
I suspect GCCs were excluded because their economies have been hit after Iran retaliated against them because they enabled the US-Israeli Axis of Evil to attack Iran. Including their GDPs would have prevented Capital Economics' analysts from proving their point.
Using an average for global economic growth hides the massive divide between the economically rich west and the poor south. That contrast would have been valuable to see.”

FT.com - FT whitewashes Israeli -Palantir relationship
18 Sep 226
FT wrote a piece on Palantir but again it omitted (whitewashed) the Israelis and their relationship with that regime. Comments 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12 were not published. FT won’t publish criticism of FT censorship – which itself is further FT censorship.
Comments 3), 11), and 13) were published and immediately appeared in my Profile. It took around 10 tries before the FT allowed a comment to be published. Persistence counts.
13) “It is a shame to see the FT block reasonable, fair, and accurate comments about the Israelis or about captured UK ministers.”
12) “Given the UK government's shameful complicity in the "acts" [a deliberate euphemism] of the Israelis in Palestine, I suspect ministers who have been captured will ignore Palantir's business partnership with the Israeli regime [a partnership the FT has not mentioned] when they decide on the NHS break clause.”
11) “ "following scrutiny of the tech group for its ties to the US"
The FT should have also mentioned Palantir's business relationship with the Israeli regime and whether it has any relevance to ministers feeling under pressure on triggering the NHS break clause.”
10) “ "following scrutiny of the tech group for its ties to the US"
The FT should have also mentioned Palantir's business relationship with the Israeli regime and whether it has any relevance to ministers feeling under pressure on triggering the NHS break clause.
It's possible that those ministers who are bought and captured, will look the other way on what the Israelis have done and are doing in Palestine.”
9) “It is shameful FT censorship to block comments about the Palantir-Israeli regime partnership and the influence that relationship might or might not have have on ministers decision on the NHS-Palantir break clause.”
8) “The FT has not mentioned Palantir’s partnership with the Israeli regime. That should have been mentioned because it might also influence ministers’ decision on triggering the break clause.
On the other hand, ministers might ignore the Israeli connection because:
7) “Pressure to trigger the Palantir break clause is "for its ties to the US defence sector and the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown."
So, if the FT is to be believed, what the Israelis have done and are doing in Lebanon and Palestine have no influence on ministers to trigger the break clause (Palantir has a military contract with the Israeli regime, a fact omitted by the FT).
Ministers' indifference to the Israelis might be true given:

I decided to watch Hasan debate with Mayes, with Morgan in the middle.
She responded to Macklemore's removal from the line-up:
"this is the market doing what the market does and deciding what needs to happen with the consumers that it provides its entertainment to. that's his right uh to be able to do that [referring to Kraft - who colluded with venue owners to get Macklemore removed from performing at those venues]. I'm just glad that someone is pushing back against the false narrative about genocide in Gaza. There's no evidence of genocide in Gaza. Um and pushing back against people who want all Jews dead. I mean, this is a very dangerous movement. Synagogues are being targeted. Jewish people can't leave their homes because of the way that they're being targeted. And I'm glad to see that he did push back against this and stood up for Jews, stood up for America, stood up for Israel."
Only a bought and captured pro-Israeli lackey would spew such a brazen lie and deny a genocide when so many learned bodies have confirmed there is a genocide being committed in Gaza. She has taken around $138,000 of AIPAC money.

Macklemore: humanity's hero. Sheeran: the low-life pro-Israeli pawn
20 Sep 2026
I stumbled upon a video that played a clip of Sheeran give a statement on his views about Palestine. I watched it all - it was very short. I am disgusted by it. No mention of "genocide" "Free Palestine" "ethnic cleansing". He avoided all these critical and essential words. I am not sure his emotions were sincere. I suspect not given the appalling lack of genuine and sincere concern for the Palestinians and no condemnation of the Israelis. He showed he is a liar - he is political because he has actively supported Ukraine, yet where is his support for Palestine?
I did not bother to listen to the presenters give their views. I read some of the comments posted in the chat, and they were also critical of Sheeran. A selection are shown below:
"Say it’s a genocide!!!"
"He's okay being political for issues that are allowed, like Ukraine"
"I felt real hurt in his voice BUT he didn't call it a genocide and that hurt me even more"
"It’s a genocide … is that so hard for ya to say Ed "
"I’m getting a t shirt that says ED ITS A GENOCIDE"
"I’m trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but this really stinks of someone desperately trying to save his arse."
"Genocide isn’t complicated. It’s wrong, it’s evil, it’s inhuman. Situation, issue, what’s happening: weaselly words. Weak."

I stumbled upon an Electronic Intifada (EI) video on the Sheeran scandal. EI made an interesting parallel with apartheid South Africa and artists who took apartheid money and performed at Sun City.
"South Africa, just like Israel today, was offering artists huge sums of money to come to Sun City to try to whitewash that apartheid regime. And refusing a lucrative gig there became a political and moral act. And those who took the money and played in apartheid South Africa were really reviled. You just couldn't do it anymore. That's the parallel we're seeing here [Sheeran and the line-up]. The power of the people is now outpacing the power of Zionist billionaires to silence them. Already Ireland's classic hits radio station has dropped Shearan from its playlist following an outpouring uh from its listeners. And even if Ed Sheeran's tour limps on, the damage to him is done. He will always be remembered for this and other artists will heed the lesson. And I think the reaction to his cowardice in the face of pressure will give courage to more artists and ordinary people to speak out. This feels to me like a really significant cultural turning point." said Abunimah of EI
Abuminah's prediction chimes with Novara Media's observation: artists now have to weigh-up the adverse reaction to siding with the pro-Israelis. Siding with them has real adverse consequences to one's public image and standing. Siding with the humanists (pro-Palestinians) has become more valuable.
16 Sep 2026
I stumbled upon a Double Down News video that was about a guy called Sheeran - the pop artist. I don't follow him and haven't listened to his recordings and have no interest in him. I didn't assimilate what the fuss was all about. I did some research and stumbled upon another video.
From what I learned from "Revolutionary Change", I realise Sheeran is a low-life and so I'm even less interested in him and moreover, I'll shun him.
It turns out Sheeran is more interested in money than in supporting Palestinians, even though he's worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
"his [Sheeran's] career and his money is more important than actual justice. What the hell is the point of being an artist if you don't stand for [expletive]" said Revolutionary Change
Sheeran says he respects what a fellow artist (Macklemore) is saying (supporting Palestinians) and he says Macklemore has a right to speak out. Sounds as though Sheeran is a principled guy: live and let live and free speech and all that.
Sheeran has said he's not political and he doesn't get involved. He is involved and he has taken a side. He has sided with pro-Israelis who own the stadia that Sheeran will perform in, because he has caved-in to their ultimatum, which in effect said: "if Macklemore is not dropped from your [Sheeran's] line-up, you [Sheeran] won't perform at our stadia."
Revolutionary Change published Macklemore's entire statement and it can be seen below and on Instagram (link). It is magnificent in its impact and it shows that Macklemore is more concerned about them than he is of himself. He has put Palestinians front and centre - saying they are the victims; he is not.
There are other significant points to note:
a) A guy called Kanye West has been criticised for saying things that some have called antisemitic, yet he has been allowed to perform at the stadia that have expelled Macklemore. This shows that these pro-Israelis who own the stadia and have blocked Macklemore did so not to protect jews, but to protect the Israeli regime that is committing genocide and ethnic cleansing. If they were truly concerned about jews, they would have blocked Kanye West.
"he [Kanye West] has played many of these same stadiums something [clears throat] that Kanye West hasn't done is criticize Israel so here we get to the core of the issue it's not about any position that relates to somebody's religion ... what's happening here is that it's not about that. It's about people criticizing Israel." said Lambert (link)
b) Sheeran says he is apolitical and does not get involved, yet he has supported Ukraine and raised funds for them. Why has he not done the same for Palestinians? Clearly Sheeran is political and is selective on who he supports and who he does not, at least in public.
c) The entire list of supporting acts have walked out on Sheeran, in support of Macklemore. This is a huge development and it is not a reaction Sheeran had considered after reading his statement on Macklemore being dropped.
Novara Media pointed out that given the huge solidarity for Macklemore and the alienation and isolation of Sheeran as a consequence of that solidarity, in future, pop-artists like Sheeran, who side with inhumanity, will think twice about ditching supporting acts and siding with the pro-Israelis. In other words, there are consequences for pop-artists who side with the pro-Israelis.
"I think what this is proving is that there is a very powerful Israel lobby but there's also a very powerful anti-Israel lobby and this has really backfired for for Ed Sheeran...whenever the Israel lobby demand of a high-profile you have to do what we say, they're going to think, well, I could do what they say, but then there's going to be this anti-Israel community, which imposes another cost on me." said Novara Media.
I stumbled upon a video that played a clip of Sheeran give a statement on his views about Palestine. I watched it all - it was very short. I am disgusted by it. No mention of "genocide" "Free Palestine" "ethnic cleansing". He avoided all these critical and essential words. I am not sure his emotions were sincere. I suspect not given the appalling lack of genuine and sincere concern for the Palestinians and no condemnation of the Israelis. He showed he is a liar - he is political because he has actively supported Ukraine, yet where is his support for Palestine?
I did not bother to listen to the presenters give their views. I read some of the comments posted in the chat, and they were also critical of Sheeran. A selection are shown below:
"Say it’s a genocide!!!"
"He's okay being political for issues that are allowed, like Ukraine"
"I felt real hurt in his voice BUT he didn't call it a genocide and that hurt me even more"
"It’s a genocide … is that so hard for ya to say Ed "
"I’m getting a t shirt that says ED ITS A GENOCIDE"
"I’m trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but this really stinks of someone desperately trying to save his arse."

The corrupting influence of money in politics and the media
14 Sep 2026
Channel 4 interviewed Hasan - who was plugging his launch of Zeteo in the UK. That aside, Hasan gave a convincing speech on several issues: the jews weaponising antisemitism; the absurdity of conflating jewishness with the apartheid state of Israel - he gave the analogy: "if I as a Muslim came on the show Krishna and said well you can't criticize the kingdom of Saudi Arabia uh because that's where Makkah and Medina is."; the dark money that is pouring into US elections; the disproportionate influence of mega-doners to political campaigns; the authoritarianism of Trump and its impact on free journalism in the US.
Hasan said the recent sanctions by the UK government were momentous, not because they had bite - they do not - but for the fact that they are unprecedented and they have broken through a barrier. They represent the thin edge of more to follow, potentially. He said it was no surprise the pro-Israelis are angry and fuming with the UK government.

Yemeniu's stunning military victory that captured the BeM strait and the Yemeni coastline
12 Sep 226
Sleboda (on Haiphong) described the shocking capture by Ansarallah (AA) of BeM and the coastline of Yemen. He hinted that the US were supporting the Saudi regime (it is clear they are), and that Iran is supporting AA. He noted that the focus of the asymmetric war has moved from Iran and Hormuz to Yemen and BeM. He asserted that the action in Yemen is part of Iran's strategy to inflict economic pain on the global economy in order to defeat the US regime. the straits have been shut for oil flow of the US-Axis of Evil and its many proxies and allies.
He said the US regime has refused to provide air strike cover to the Saudis, and said the US regime did not want to play "wack-a-mole" with AA - because the US regime has limited weapons.
Haiphong played a clip of Trump saying the Houthis don't want to fight the US regime. The opposite is more likely to be the truth, given the fact that the US in the past has been effectively defeated by AA and the US regime has limited weapons and firepower.
Haiphong recalled Trump repeating the same lie he spoke in 2025 - in 2025 he said the Houthis called Trump and said they don't want to fight any more, and Trump respected their decision. Trump's response in 2025 is an illustration of US regime propaganda that turns reality on its head - the reality, I think, is Trump did not want to fight AA but the US regime turned that reality on its head by saying the Houthis don't want to fight.

Palestine ambassador chooses to see the UK government's sanctions on the Israelis as a glass half full not half empty
11 Sep 2026
Novara Media interviewed the Palestine ambassador, Zamla. He, understandably, chose to look at the Brotish sanctions as a glass half full not half empty, i.e., he recognised the action is partial and incomplete. He chose to take a positive view.
He said this is a beginning. He commended Burnham and Miliband for acting - and to act is a watershed moment. "It's not the end of the road but it's a cornerstone" he said.
"We are activists for the sake of inflicting change. And I believe change has begun." he said.

Double Down News confirms British governments sanctions on the Israelis are insincere and mere gestures
11 Sep 2026
A Double Down News video confirmed that the recent British sanctions on the Israelis are in reality far from adequate and far more effective sanctions could have been used.
It also exposes the disgusting pro-Israeli media platforms, such as LBC and the Telegraph (and the people who fund them) that have been spewing alarmist and false propaganda against the British government for its sanctions - even though those sanctions are shamefully inadequate and mere gestures.
The video confirms my view and the view of others (see posts below around 08 Sep 2026), that the sanctions are token action and that the British government continues to be complicit in genocide and ethnic cleansing through its supply of weapons, intelligence, and political and diplomatic support of the Israelis.

Modi allies with the Israeli apartheid regime but denounces the war on Iran
11 Sep 2026
Norton said on Haiphong
"India under under BJP under Modi has become closely allied with Israel which is unique because previously the Congress party had been had supported Palestine" He added that Modi has, however, denounced the war on Iran as illegal. He added that India, like many countries, is trying to manage relations with the US and Chinese regimes and trying to avoid upsetting either regime, and they are keeping a low profile to avoid upsetting relations with each regime.

Contrary to FT and western media, Ansarallah is not a proxy of Iran but an ally. The barbarity of the Saudis' war on Yemenis
11 Sep 2026
Norton (on Haiphong) explained the relationship between Ansarallah (AA) and Iran that destroyed the propaganda of the west about the nature of that relationship :
"there's this Western propaganda narrative that portrays Ansarah, the so-called Houthis, as supposed Iranian proxies. That's ridiculous. They're not Iranian proxies. They are certainly Iranian allies, but they don't just do whatever Iran wants." he said.
Norton also described the genocide by the Saudis of the Yemenis
"Arabia launched a brutal war against Yemen with the full support of the US. At that time, under the Obama administration, Saudi Arabia intentionally destroyed food production facilities in Yemen, causing mass hunger and killing hundreds of thousands of people, causing outbreaks of chalera and other horrible diseases."
Norton mentioned the US regime's war on AA in 2025 that ended in a "stalemate" but that amounts to a loss by the US regime and is a massive embarrassment - the supreme hegemon that spends $trillions on its military could not defeat a bunch of rebels in one of the poorest countries in the world. To add further embarrassment to the US regime, AA is using weapons to fight the US regime that were supplied by the US. The US gave those weapons to the Yemeni military but AA defeated them and the military defected to AA and took their weapons with them.
Norton explained that the US regime is backing the Saudi attacks on Yemen:
"[Saudi] infrastructure is being targeted by Yemen again in self-defense after Trump once again expanded this conflict by giving Saudi Arabia the green light to restart the war against Yemen. And obviously Yemen retaliated in self-defense"
With the closure of B el M in the Red Sea and Hormuz, "we're already seeing that about 28% of globally traded oil is being heavily impacted by the closure of the straight of Hormuz and the Baband...Yemen really understands that it has very significant leverage here just like Iran had major leverage with the straight of Hormuz" he said.
He said the $trillions spent on the military "goes to the military-industrial complex, the famous beltway bandits. It goes to Rathon, Lheed Martin, General Dynamics. Like, these are the companies that are benefiting from all this money...
you have so much so many bloated contracts from the military-industrial complex when you have all this corruption, you know, these contractors charging like $30,000 for like a screw or whatever or like $8,000 for like a garbage can. I mean, it's just like it's legal corruption. the the US government, these politicians that are funded by large corporations in the military-industrial complex are then giving these massive contracts to the people who funded their campaign. And what we see in the US right now is in every aspect of society, this kind of institutional rot and decay, extreme systemic corruption at every level. Trump has just made it as blatant as day. He's taken the the mask off of the ugly face of this problem that's been that's existed for a long time."

FT.com - more FT propaganda by omission; this time about the war on Yemen by the Saudis, and who is the "real" government in Yemen?
11 Sep 2026
Norton (on Haiphong) shed further light that exposed the FT's propaganda where it repeatedly says the Yemeni government is "internationally recognised". Norton He said:
"Ansarah is the dominant political force governing about 70 to 80% of the Yemeni population. They are the real Yemen government. The westernbacked Yemeni government ba ba based in the south is basically a failed state. It's a puppet regime controlled by a mixture of the US, the UAE and Saudi Arabia."

The FT repeatedly says the Yemeni government is "internationally recognised". See the image below of my comment about this FT trope. The FT does not say anything about who the Yemeni people recognise as their government.
On 10 Sep, Haiphong shed some light to explain what "legitimately recognised" actually means in reality. He said Ansarallah (aka Houthis) are "the popular force", in Yemen and "the "internationally-recognised" government is not very legitimate actually in the eyes of the Yemeni people".
FT.com published an art on the war in Yemen. My comments 1) & 2) were sent to a Mod.
2) “To this hack's credit, he has said "the US and Israel launched their war against the Islamic republic." Readers can therefore see that the Axis of Evil is responsible for the reduced flow of oil, not Iran.
It is a shame that this hack did not say the Saudis' attacked Yemen, so that readers can see that the Saudis, and their backers, are responsible, for the reduced flow of oil via the Red Sea, not AA nor Iran. More FT propaganda by omission.”
1) “More shameful FT propaganda by omission.
Not a word about:
The Saudis and Yemenis had a MoU in place but the Saudis violated that MoU by attacking the Yemeni airport, and that violation triggered a Yemeni response - blockading Saudi shipments from its ports.”

British government calls Israeli settlers "terrorists" and admits to Israeli "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians
08 Sep 2026
Miliband gave a speech in Parliament on sanctions on the Israelis. In it he made a couple of statements:
"The British government agrees that there is ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in areas of the West Bank perpetrated by settler terrorists. And all too often the Israeli government has turned a blind eye to this. And worse, members of it have made statements and taken actions to support the forced displacement of Palestinians.", said Miliband.
See also the 11 Sep 2026 post above of a Double Down News video confirming that the British sanctions on the Israelis is far from adequate and it shows what sanctions could have been more effective.
It also exposes the disgusting pro-Israeli media platforms, such as LBC and the Telegraph (and the people who fund them) that have been spewing alarmist and false propaganda that attacks the British government for its sanctions - even though those sanctions are shamefully inadequate and mere gestures.

Miliband's sanctions are too little, too late, and MPs tell him so
PoliticsJoe posted a video of MPs questioning Miliband. He admits more can be done but is content to be doing something rather than to be doing what is necessary. That small-measure proves he is not willing to do what is necessary and that his sanctions are a token gesture of action but far far short of the comprehensive and far-reaching sanctions needed to stop the genocide and the ethnic cleansing.
See how he trashes and ridicules the further action demanded by Sultana and her recognition that what he has done is not enough. He repeatedly claims to uphold international law but is that true and is the government upholding international law? He was repeatedly criticised for taking 9 months to implement these new sanctions. His standard response: he wants to act quicker but it has to be done correctly - pure rhetoric.

Brit government's sanctions on Israelis fall far short of what they could have done - they are a sham
08 Sep 226
Declassified UK analysed the British government's recent announcement on sanctions and concluded is that it is insufficient - far more could be done but is not being done by the government:
F-35 component sales;
sanctions on those who enable and facilitate the illegal Israeli settlements;
prohibiting British nationals from joining the IDF,
imposing sanctions on Israeli ministers as political operators instead of imposing sanctions on them in a personal capacity that are far less effective in stopping the ethnic cleansing and genocide by the Israelis.
As I suspected, the British government's "sanctions" are weak and ineffective and not serious attempts to stop the atrocities that the Israelis continue to commit in Palestine. It is just rhetoric. The outrage by the Israelis and the US is also a charade - over the top protests to appear genuinely hurt by the sanction.
See my post below (also 08 Sep) about the sanctions announcement.

Israelis create media and political distractions to escalate their barbarity and land theft
08 Sep 2026
Henningsen said (on Dialogue Works) that the Israelis cunningly use media and political distractions to escalate their barbarity in Palestine and Lebanon:
He said the Israelis would welcome a conflict between the Turks, Cypriots, and the Greeks, because that would present another distraction for the Israelis to escalate their barbarity. He noted the Israelis have sold military systems to the Greeks. The Israelis have been critical of the Turks, which could be a sign the Israelis are whipping up hatred and animosity between Greeks and the Turks, and the Cypriots.
He said the Israelis are pleased about the conflict involving the Saudis and the Yemenis because it weakens them and weakened neighbours makes the Israelis stronger in the region.
Henningsen said (on Dialogue Works) that the Israelis cunningly use media and political distractions to escalate their barbarity in Palestine and Lebanon:
- While Iran and the US regime are busy in a bilateral conflict, the Israelis are escalating their murdering and stealing of land in Gaza and in West Bank.
- The ascent of ISIS in 2014 captured global media's attention, so the Israelis ramped-up their barbarity by murdering thousands of Palestinians.

Loss of the US empire would be a positive change for the world, says Gibbs
Gibbs said (on Haiphong):
"Israel when it Israel attacks it doesn't defend. The neoconservatives like that. That's a That's what a serious power does. A attacks. It doesn't apologize or ring its hands or, you know, engage in introspection about morality. It just does quote unquote does what it has to do and disregards morality. Then, you know, conservatives like that very much...The Israelis are hyper militarists. They ... much prefer the use of force to negotiations. is they take what they want without compromise in most cases"
He was also critical of the US regime:
"I have a positive image of the idea of the decline of US power because as I see it, US power has been the most destabilizing force in the world. Um, arguably since 1945, certainly since the end of the cold war..the United States is a status quo power, but it always keeps on pushing the envelope. It always has to keep on thinking of new wars to start, new countries to destabilize, one after another after another and it never tires of this and it never runs out of enemies to destabilize."
In addition to covert and military US regime actions, one must also consider US regime sanctions:
"a British medical journal did a study on the health effects of US sanctions over 50 years from I think about 1971 I think to 2021 50-year period and found that on average USled sanctions unilateral sanctions by the US and its allies killed about 500,000 plus people per year for a total over 50 years of around 28 million people killed overwhelming nearly all civilians..it's very hard to imagine there's any country in the world since 1990 uh or even since since 1970 that have been as destructive as human of human life as the United States....removing the dollar from its status as the world's top currency uh, would have the most important effect of eliminating the sanctions weapon that the United States employs with such deadly effect. And you could say that would have a significant positive effect on human welfare globally and extend life expectancy for many people "
He mentioned rumours that the Israelis had threatened the Iranians that they would launch nukes against Iran if Iran attacked the Israelis, and that threat is why Iran has not hit the Israelis and vice versa.

FT.com - British government's rhetoric leaves the door open to continuing to support the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine by the murderous and thuggish Israelis
08 Sep 2026
FT.com published a piece on the UK government's steps to sanction the Isarelis. The FT, to its utter shame, banned all comments. I sent an email criticising that ban:
"Yet again, it is utterly disgraceful that the FT did not allow any comments on its article.
https://www.ft.com/content/990e71e5-bfa3-4ebb-963d-f8693c5ac7b1?syn-25a6b1a6=1
That prevention enables FT propaganda - either the FT's own or contributed by third parties - to go unchallenged.
The blocking of all comments is censorship and, control of the narrative. It shields US-Israeli Axis of Evil barbarity and inhumanity from being challenged.
"the UK will now refuse all licence applications for arms and other exports that “materially contribute” to the occupation."
This ambiguous condition enables the British government to continue to support the genocide and the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
"war crimes “appear to have been committed”." What a disgusting whitewash of reality.
"the question of whether acts of genocide were committed in Gaza should be determined by the courts." More disgusting side-stepping of British complicity in genocide and ethnic cleansing.
The “death, destruction and dehumanisation on an appalling scale” has been a “stain on the conscience of the world”, he said. More disgusting concealment of the British government's complicity in the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestine by the Israelis."
I later received an email from MAP that was positive about the British government's intended sanctions (see extract below). Their Press Release is farther below.
Later in the day, I saw video by Declassified UK that was scathing of the sanctions - there is far more the government could have done if it was sincere about stopping the Israelis. See my post above (also 08 Sep) about that Declassified video.

The US regime is engaged in something more sinister than trying to topple Iran
07 Sep 2026
Berletic said on Haiphong, that the US cannot compete with China, and certainly not with the combined force of Iran and Russia with China, so the US regime is trying to destroy China by:
forcing countries to ban imports of Chinese exports (e.g., Huawei and EVs)
disrupting the flow of energy and natural resources to China - which explains why China has turned to alternative energy and self-sufficiency in energy, and it has restricted exports of critical minerals.
Berletic claims the US regime's real objective is to disrupt the flow of energy to Asia and to China and its claims of trying to re-open Hormuz to get oil flowing is a ruse. It actually wants to do the opposite - shut off oil to China and to Asia. Why? to cripple China and to control the supply of oil to profit from that control.
"if he [Trump] told the truth, the US is deliberately disrupting the flow of energy from West Asia to create an a global economic crisis, well then everyone would know what was going on. They would immediately turn against the United States." he said.
"It made no economic or business sense at the time [for the US regime to produce LNG], but I've pointed out presentations where they literally said this is to uh respond to maritime choke points, contested waterways. And at the time they were making these presentations, there were there were no contested waterways restricting the movement of energy from say West Asia to the rest of Asia. But now there is. So this is what they were preparing for years"
"since the Cold War, they've been trying [meaning the US regime has been trying] to stop the reemergence of Russia, stop the rise of China, stop the rise of any other nation or group of nations that would seek independent policies in in terms of economics, international relations, uh independent of US power and hijgemony over the planet. And and that's what they're doing. And so this is what is driving absolutely everything that that they are now doing." This ties in with the claim that the US is resisting a multipolar world and trying to remain a unipolar world with the US regime at the top and supreme.
Berletic questioned the power of the Lebanese resistance and Iran because he noted the Israelis have captured more of Lebanon than they did in 2006 and have gone past the Latani river. He thinks Iran is not as powerful as thought because Iran did not challenge the Israelis when they crossed into Lebanon via Syria. He noted the terrorist regime that now controls Syria allowed the Israelis to cross into Lebanon NORTH of the Latani river.
"they [China] knew for years and years the US was going to try to cut the flow of energy going to China." he said.
"[the US regime is] cutting countries like Thailand off from energy they receive from West Asia and forcing them to go to the US and sign long-term LG export contracts? Uh thus giving the US greater energy uh dominance over Asia surrounding China. uh is that's more important to the US than just toppling the the Iranian governments"
Berletic noted the information war and the US regime's control of the media and information:
"even in in the multipolar world you see the US maintains tremendous information dominance. This is one of the things that multipolarism is going to have to confront and and start working on"
"They [the US regime] used Israel to provoke it and then waved their way in just like their policy papers said they would. And and at every juncture they've been using Israel, but also Saudi Arabia, uh United Arab Emirates, Qatar, all of these all of these are pro US proxies that the US is using in the region to advance its policies to its benefit at the expense of all of these proxies. "
"the US is positioning all of Europe for a a direct conflict with Russia. And so if the US wants to use nuclear weapons against Russia, they'll just have Europe do it."
He advised the countries to reach a critical mass of the alternative world (multipolar world) they are building and to avoid provocations to trigger a nuclear war. This might explain why these countries are not taking the bait being dangled in front of them by the belligerent US regime.

Haiphong said 3 Iranian oil tankers (civilian vessels) were struck by the US regime. In response, Iran struck SIX vessels, PLUS it fired at the US warship "Washington" and forced the ship to scurry out of range.
It is notable, the US regime did not attack Iran territory or infrastructure or military targets, as is its usual response. This lack of response might be a reflection of low numbers of missiles. Hegseth said:
"If Iran shoots at US ships, confirming that Iran actually shot at US ships, we will destroy and sink all their oil tankers. All they have to do is not shoot at the US Navy."

How the US regime took over the colonies of the defeated colonial powers after WWII and captured former colonies
06 Sep 2026
Wolff (on Diesen) summarised how the colonial powers destroyed themselves in WWII and the US regime stepped in to take "control" of the colonies of the broken former colonial powers. "Control" by the US regime was dressed up and sold to former colonies as: globalisation, democratic values, humanitarian aid, independence from colonial powers and oppressors such as the British in India. The hidden reality of the US regime was it was subordinating these former colonies, and also subordinating the, now broken financially and economically, colonial powers, to US hegemony and financial and economic and military dominance across the world.
"[the US regime] created the global economy, the dollar economy, the economy in which the United States was the major trader, the major exporter, the major importer, the major source of capital, the major source of loans [for former colonies]. I mean, it really it doesn't stop. It was an overwhelming arrangement and it brought to the United States the fruits of colonialism which were always enormous." he said.
He said the servility and deference of Europeans to the US regime emboldened the US regime to start believing the hype about their greatness, and that led to the concept of American "exceptionalism".
"]the US] was lost in a self- congratulatory, self celebration. American exceptionalism became a whole industry" he said
Wolff said in 2015, the Europeans started to move towards a unified Europe. The US regime did not welcome that development as it jeopardised US dominance of Europe.
He said the Chinese had developed rapidly because of western capitalism but with central government control. The level of government control contrasts with western capitalism where governments do not play a direct role in the private sector.

I mean, it really it doesn't stop. It was an overwhelming arrangement and it brought to the United States the fruits of colonialism which were always enormous." he said.
He said the servility and deference of Europeans to the US regime emboldened the US regime to start believing the hype about their greatness, and that led to the concept of American "exceptionalism".
"]the US] was lost in a self- congratulatory, self celebration. American exceptionalism became a whole industry" he said
Wolff said in 2015, the Europeans started to move towards a unified Europe. The US regime did not welcome that development as it jeopardised US dominance of Europe.
He said the Chinese had developed rapidly because of western capitalism but with central government control. The level of government control contrasts with western capitalism where governments do not play a direct role in the private sector.
Israeli lies about Oct 2023 were amplified by Biden and western media
06 Sep 2026
Hedges interviewed Andersen. She wrote a book, "The complicit lens" about how the US-Israeli Axis of Evil whitewash genocide and other war crimes in Gaza.
"What that frame [where the Israelis use Oct 2023 as the starting date to justify their atrocities] leaves out as you well know Chris is this history of um of buildup and aggression on the part of Israel in Palestine that as Rashid ...[Khalidi] has pointed out is the hundred-year war on Palestine."
She mentions research by Sanders, and describes how the Israelis lied and exaggerated the scale and the violence of the attack by Hamas, in order to justify the scale of the Israeli response - which was barbaric and inhumane.
She condemns the so-called western journalists who regurgitated the lies told by the Israelis.
She said "President Biden lied over and over through November that he had seen pictures of of of beheaded babies." i.e., Biden amplified Israeli lies.

US regime has a murderous history of attacking weddings
06 Sep 2026
Lascaris mentioned a pattern of the US regime murdering civilians at weddings.
He cited a list compiled by CodePink that shows a long history of attacks by the US regime on weddings (see image), the latest attack being a wedding in Iran in the last few days.
"This is not accidental, my friends. This is a deliberate policy of striking wedding parties." concluded Lascaris.

Disgusting Israelis get a taste of karma
06 Sep 2026
Reason2Resist described how the disgusting Israelis are suffering a dose of karma.
These disgusting barbarians destroyed Palestinians' sewage systems, causing a health hazard. Now, that sewage is floating along the coastline to the apartheid state and clogging its desalination plants and contaminating its water. "You reap what you sow" "What goes around, comes around" as they say.
"this sounds like a uh a historic case of karma uh to me." said Lascaris.
To underline their depravity and their inhumanity, Lascaris reported that the regime has shut off water supply to Gaza:
"Israel's national water company halted the flow of water to Gaza after shutting down five of the country's six dissalination plants. According to UNICEF, nearly 1 million Gazins faced water shortages as a result of this. Uh this is probably well over 50% of the uh the surviving population of Gaza...after destroying their civilian infrastructure, including their water treatment facilities, and subjecting them to the contamination
uh that this has caused. uh it [the Israeli apartheid state] punishes them [Gazans] when the impacts of these war crimes begin to be felt by Israelis themselves. That's what the genocidal entity is in effect doing." Lascaris added.

How the US regime blew its chance in 1991 for a global Golden Age and became a "grifter gangster"
06 Sep 2026
Sachs shows (on Diesen) how the US thought of itself as supreme and a hegemon; how it is led by the military-industrial complex, but how it is now declining in many ways and how it has turned into an extractive grifter across the world.
There has been "an underlying change from self-interested beneficence to grifter gangster behavior." of the US regime under Trump, said Sachs.
He said of 85% of the world: "They're not out for world domination like the United States is. Uh they're not dreaming of past empire like the British are. Uh they're actually focused overwhelmingly on economic issues."
He said of the end of the Cold War (1991) and after hearing that Yeltsin and Gorbachev (Russia) wanted peace and normalcy and cooperation with the US and the world generally.
"if the United States had simply said, "Miracle, we go for it. We cooperate." We'd be in the golden age right now.", said Sachs, but the US regime blew that opportunity for a Golden Age.
"The US is so dominant right now that we can move eastward with NATO, with the European Union, and Russia will have no choice but to exceed." That is the US regime's major tactical mistake.
"they [the US regime] walked into this with the arrogance of victory, the laurel wreath around their heads. They [the US regime] were now the supreme soul world hegeimon. And of course it was delusional then and it became extraordinarily dangerous for us today."

Israelis want US people to fight their war on Iran - another perspective of their depravity
05 Sep 2026
The disgusting Israelis showed another side to their depravity and their parasitic tendency when they suggested Americans in debt become US soldiers to fight the war on Iran on behalf of the Israelis, in return for the soldiers' personal debts being written-off. They would like a ground invasion, said Sleboda on Dialogue Works. See the image from Haiphong's video on 06 Sep 2026, in which he interviewed Marandi.
Sleboda noted Iran has hit US assets three times without any US regime response. It is a sign the US is weakened and unsure what to do, so it is doing nothing. He said Iran senses it has escalation dominance over a US regime that has fewer weapons and is weakened - the perfect opportunity for Iran to attack and take the war to the US regime.
Another development is the US regime has a policy of hitting Iranian commercial ships in response to Iran's attacks on ships trying (under US provocation) to pass through Hormuz without approval by Iran.
He said the Russians and Iran have exchanged technology and trade and are helping each other.

I recommended that comment and then posted a reply (see 1) below). Comment 1) was immediately sent to a Mod, which proves my point about FT censorship.
I then posted 2) but that too went to a Mod. It is odd 2) went to a Mod because nothing in the text was controversial. 2) is reproduced in the larger image below.

- not fact-checking; not challenging; regurgitating Axis of Evil propaganda;
- omitting significant facts;
- refusing to label the US or the Israeli governments a "regime" but using that as the default description for the Iranian government;
- unequal coverage of Iranian casualties and deaths versus Americans

FT.com - shameful FT censorship promotes the US regime's fake information about Hormuz
05 Sep update:
I checked in the morning and noticed that only comment 4) was in my Profile, so all the other comments had not been published by the FT. That restriction is further confirmation that the FT shields the US regime from censure, by blocking comments about its fake information on Hormuz traffic and its support of the regime.
04 Sep 2026
FT.com published a piece about the volume of traffic through Hormuz. The US regime was telling lies and the FT was regurgitating them and not fact-checking the figure the regime quoted. That is bad enough. The FT's complicity included using that fake information to support the US regime's activity in its war on Iran. Comments 1), 2), 3) , 4) and 5) went to a Mod.
5) “Instead of regurgitating, there are many tracking sites this hack could have used to fact-check the 8m figure cited by the lying US regime.
One site, https://hormuz.data-tracking.net/ states the 7d average (as at 04 Sep) is 1.74m barrels per day, so far below the US regime's figure. It also estimates just 0.33m barrels were exported in the last 24 hours.”
4) “This piece is not journalism. It is propaganda. I have tried to say why, but the FT is withholding my reasonable and fair comments.”
3) “There are many tracking sites this hack could have used to corroborate the 8m figure. One site, https://hormuz.data-tracking.net/ states the 7d average (as at 04 Sep) is 1.74m barrels per day. It also estimates just 0.33m barrels were exported in the last 24 hours.
Regurgitating instead of fact-checking a figure published by a regime that lies , and then use that figure to support the US regime, is not journalism. It is propaganda.”
2) “This hack, and the FT generally, have shown where their loyalties lie from the labels they use.
They don't call the US government a "regime", yet that is their default label for Iran's government.
The US government deserves that label because it is:
1) “ "the figure signalled that the US was eroding Iran’s chokehold over the waterway."
It is shameful that this hack (especially one who is called an "editor") has not independently confirmed the "8m" figure, nor has he challenged it, given the US regime is well-known for its lies. Worse still, he then uses that unconfirmed figure to claim the US regime "was eroding Iran's chokehold".

UK government urged by PSC to impose full suspension of all trade and wide-ranging sanctions on the Israeli apartheid state
04 Sep 2026
PSC asked me to write to my MP. I did (see their letter to MPs, below).
PSC said:
"The Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband has announced that the government is putting together a ‘comprehensive set of measures’ responding to Israel’s flagrant violations of international law.
This must not be another piecemeal and inadequate step.
Will you write to your MP today to call for meaningful and wide-ranging sanctions against Israel?
This week, as parliament returned from its summer recess, Omar Barghouti, the co-founder of the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement has been here with us in Britain to meet with MPs, trade unionists and others and speak to the media.
He made clear that any new measures must not simply be another ‘smoke and mirrors cop-out and distraction’ from Britain’s obligations under international law.
To coincide with his visit, PSC has produced a new briefing for MPs laying out the minimum sanctions that the British government is legally required to impose on Israel to comply with the July 2024 ruling of the International Court of Justice.
This includes ending all trade that aids or assists Israel’s violations of international law and taking action against companies that are complicit in these crimes, imposing a full two-way arms embargo, and putting an end to Britain’s preferential trade deal with Israel."
Letter:
"[MP]
Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband has announced that the government is putting together a “comprehensive set of measures” responding to Israel’s flagrant violations of international law.
As my MP, I am asking you to write to the government to insist that this must include a full arms embargo and a ban on all trade that aids or assists Israel’s illegal occupation.
Please read this latest Palestine Solidarity Campaign briefing for more information: ‘A comprehensive set of measures? The minimum sanctions the British government is obligated to impose on Israel by the July 2024 ICJ ruling’. [link to pdf, here]
Sanctions against Israel are already long overdue.
In July 2024 the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory in Gaza and the West Bank including in East Jerusalem is illegal, that Israel is committing the crime of apartheid, and that all states have an obligation to bring these crimes to an immediate end.
The ICJ ruling stipulates that states are obliged not to aid or assist the illegal occupation, including through trade policies. After two years, the government has shamefully still not responded to this historic ruling.
MPs must call on the government to formally respond to the ICJ ruling, and to ensure Britain is fulfilling its obligations under international law.
Take urgent action by pressing the government to:
1. Formally commit to complying with the July 2024 International Court of Justice ruling in full.
2. Ban all trade in goods and services with Israel’s illegal settlements and all other trade that aids or assists Israel’s violations of international law, including by implementing a two-way arms embargo on Israel.
3. Introduce binding rules to prevent British businesses from profiting from Israel’s unlawful occupation; end government contracts with businesses that are involved in the occupation and implement rigorous screening to exclude occupation-complicit businesses from government contracts.
4. Implement comprehensive sanctions on the state of Israel as a whole, as the primary body developing policy and implementing the expansion of settlements and maintenance of the occupation, including the suspension of the 2019 Bilateral Trade and Partnership Agreement with Israel and the revoking of the UK Israel 2030 Roadmap.
Please write to the government on this issue as a matter of urgency."

FT.com - confirmation the FT is shielding Israelis from public censure
04 Sep 2026 update
I checked my FT Profile in the morning and noticed that not one of the 4 comments had been published.
I checked again, around 7:30pm, and saw comments 2) and 4) had been published (see image).
It is a small victory to see these published but the long delay has diminished their impact, evidenced by not a single recommendation or reply to either comment.
This is confirmation the FT is shielding the Israelis from public censure.
03 Sep 2026
FT.com published a piece on Lloyds insurance payouts on insurance claims relating to the war on Iran.
The FT blocked comment 1). Comment 2) was sent to a Mod. I noticed in the evening that neither had been published so I posted comment 3) but that too was sent to a Mod. I then posted comment 4) but that too went to a Mod.
4) “Why has the FT omitted one half of the US-Israeli Axis of Evil from the headline? It is not just the US waging war on Iran.”

FT.com - more shameful FT censorship, understatement and omission
03 Sep 2026
FT.com published a piece - by Wolf - about Trump and the decline of the US empire.
FT did not publish comments 1) and 2). Comments 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) & 9) were all sent to a Mod.
I checked later in the evening and noticed some of the comments sent to a Mod were now published (those shown with a prefix "P"). Comments 6) and 3) had gone to a Mod but neither were published. Comments 2) and 1) did not go to a Mod and remain unpublished.
P 9) “I think it is shameful that the FT has restricted my true, fair, and reasonable comments on its articles, including this piece.
Watering down a comment will increase its chance of being published. Not watering-down a comment will reduce its chance of being published. Either course is a dilemma for a reader who has something to say.
Allowing readers to comment on FT articles appears to be an attractive feature. Turning comments on and off, or excluding true, fair, and reasonable comments, exposes the feature to be a ruse for FT propaganda and controlling the narrative. “
P 8) “ "Today’s disorder is Trump’s present to the world." Dig deeper and you'll see that Trump is a rabid stooge who is delivering the present.
The "present" comes from WIIMPS - western-Israeli imperialist supremacists, and the people who sustain them and benefit from them.”
P 7) “Wolf is more concerned about the safety of "private investors" than he is of the safeguarding international law and human rights.”
6) “No mention that Maduro and his wife were kidnapped by the US regime, international crimes that involved the murder of dozens of Venezuelans by the US regime.”
P 5) “No mention by Wolf that the war on Iran by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil is illegal under international law.
No mention of the other half of that Axis of Evil, i.e., the Israeli regime, thereby hiding them from public censure.”
P 4) “Not a word from Wolf of the suffering of Iranian people from "prolonged hostility" – a euphemism for almost 50 years of arbitrary western sanctions; sanctions that might be illegal under international law.”
3) “ "one man [Trump] who is...a bully."
A pathetically inadequate choice of word to describe a domestic and international terrorist.”
2) ” "one man [Trump] who is...a bully."
A pathetically inadequate choice of word to describe a domestic and international terrorist.
"the Iranian regime has survived prolonged hostility and now war"
Not a word of the suffering of Iranian people. The "regime" has done more than "survived" - as evidenced by its heroic resistance to military, economic, political and psychological onslaughts by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil and its many allies in the Gulf and the west.
"Prolonged hostility" instead of saying: almost 50 years of arbitrary western sanctions; sanctions that might be illegal under international law. No mention by Wolf that the war on Iran by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil is illegal under international law. No mention of the other half of that Axis of Evil, i.e., the Israeli regime, thereby concealing them.
No mention that Maduro and his wife were kidnapped by the US regime, international crimes that involved the murder of dozens of Venezuelans by the US regime.
Wolf is more concerned about the safety of "private investors" than he is of the safeguarding international law and human rights.
"Today’s disorder is Trump’s present to the world." Not true. Trump is the deliverer. The "present" comes from WIIMPS - western-Israeli imperialist supremacists, and the people who sustain them and benefit from them.”
1) “Some of what Wolf writes is regrettable and shameful, in my opinion. I suspect what he writes reflects his beliefs and the FT's control of the narrative.
"one man [Trump] who is...a bully."
A pathetically inadequate choice of word to describe a domestic and international terrorist who is responsible for genocide and ethnic cleansing, and inflicting human and environmental suffering on a global scale.
"the Iranian regime has survived prolonged hostility and now war"
Not a word of the suffering of Iranian people; only the "regime". The "regime" has done more than "survived" - as evidenced by its heroic resistance to military, economic, political and psychological onslaughts by the Axis of Evil and its many allies in the Gulf and the west.
"Prolonged hostility" instead of saying: almost 50 years of arbitrary western sanctions; sanctions that might be illegal under international law. No mention by Wolf that the war on Iran by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil is illegal under international law. No mention of the other half of that Axis of Evil, i.e., the Israeli regime, thereby concealing them.
"Nicolás Maduro is in a US prison" No mention that Maduro and his wife were kidnapped by the US regime, international crimes that involved the murder of dozens of Venezuelans by the US regime.
Wolf is more concerned about the safety of "private investors" than he is of the safeguarding international law and human rights.
"Today’s disorder is Trump’s present to the world." Not true. Trump is the deliverer. The "present" comes from WIIMPS - western-Israeli imperialist supremacists, and the people who sustain them and benefit from them.”
FT.com published a piece - by Wolf - about Trump and the decline of the US empire.
FT did not publish comments 1) and 2). Comments 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) & 9) were all sent to a Mod.
I checked later in the evening and noticed some of the comments sent to a Mod were now published (those shown with a prefix "P"). Comments 6) and 3) had gone to a Mod but neither were published. Comments 2) and 1) did not go to a Mod and remain unpublished.
P 9) “I think it is shameful that the FT has restricted my true, fair, and reasonable comments on its articles, including this piece.
Watering down a comment will increase its chance of being published. Not watering-down a comment will reduce its chance of being published. Either course is a dilemma for a reader who has something to say.
Allowing readers to comment on FT articles appears to be an attractive feature. Turning comments on and off, or excluding true, fair, and reasonable comments, exposes the feature to be a ruse for FT propaganda and controlling the narrative. “
P 8) “ "Today’s disorder is Trump’s present to the world." Dig deeper and you'll see that Trump is a rabid stooge who is delivering the present.
The "present" comes from WIIMPS - western-Israeli imperialist supremacists, and the people who sustain them and benefit from them.”
P 7) “Wolf is more concerned about the safety of "private investors" than he is of the safeguarding international law and human rights.”

P 5) “No mention by Wolf that the war on Iran by the US-Israeli Axis of Evil is illegal under international law.
No mention of the other half of that Axis of Evil, i.e., the Israeli regime, thereby hiding them from public censure.”
P 4) “Not a word from Wolf of the suffering of Iranian people from "prolonged hostility" – a euphemism for almost 50 years of arbitrary western sanctions; sanctions that might be illegal under international law.”
3) “ "one man [Trump] who is...a bully."
A pathetically inadequate choice of word to describe a domestic and international terrorist.”

FT.com - western hypocrisy and double-standards exposed through their sanctions on Iran and other countries
03/09/2026
FT.com published a piece about supply chain sanctions on Iran and other countries. It exposed western hypocrisy and double-standards but the FT blocked my efforts to say so.
The FT did not publish comments 2), 3), 4), and 5) , but comments 1) and 6) appeared in my Profile. - see imaged of them, below. Comment 6) got 10 recommendations, but comment 1) got just 1 reply and no recommendations.
6) “It is disgusting of the FT to block fair, reasonable, and true comments that expose the hypocrisy and double-standards of these western regimes' sanctions.”
5) “Shameful double-standards and hypocrisy.
Where are the UK, US and EU sanctions of companies that enable the US-Israeli Axis of Evil in its inhumanity in Cuba, Venezuela, Palestine, Lebanon and Iran?”
4) “Shameful double-standards and hypocrisy
These sanctions expose the double-standards and hypocrisy of the WIIMPS (western-Israeli imperialist supremacists).
Where are their sanctions on the US-Israeli Axis of Evil over its inhumanity re: Cuba, Venezuela, Palestine, Lebanon and Iran?”

"EU imposed sanctions..." for allegedly destabilising the DRC.

The point is: these sanctions expose the double-standards and hypocrisy of the WIIMPS (western-Israeli imperialist supremacists).”
1) Plausible deniability is the name of the game for rogue multinational companies (MNCs).
Comparing their responses, it's clear some are reading from the same script: admit to nothing; deny liability; express willingness to comply; moan about the difficulty in complying. The standard response should raise alarm bells and suspicion about transparency and integrity.
I believe that in the vast majority of commercial situations, it is possible to identify every supplier in a supply chain and to track that list and keep it up to date. Where it is not possible, it is easy to keep evidence of what has been done to identify suppliers and why their identity has not been determined.
When critical components are used in products, MNCs have a duty of care and a responsibility to know who made each component, if only to pursue legal or insurance claims or recover claims. Similar responsibilities exist for monitoring compliance with ESG policies and regulations, or the T&Cs of ESG-linked funding.
I suspect many rogue MNCs deliberately avoid identifying all of their suppliers - they look the other way. Why? Because they suspect some suppliers are unacceptable for ESG , legal or regulatory reasons, or they are on sanctions lists of the US regime. By not identifying them, rogue MNCs can honestly say they do not know of them and then read the standard script of excuses for not knowing.”

Iran is going on the offensive and controlling the oil price to become a powerhouse of the Persian Gulf, says Pape
03 Sep 2026
Pape (on Haiphong's video) said Iran has gone on the offensive since mid-July and that along with Yemen hitting the Saudis, has led to a rising oil price at pumps in the US. He said Iran is seeking to be a hegemon in the Persian Gulf. Whenever the US attack, Iran hits back in multiples. He said the Gulf states are "up for grabs" i.e., will they lean towards Iran or stick with the US regime? "Iran is playing a power game" said Pape.
He said the war on Iran has exposed deep weaknesses in American military power and military logistics. For decades, the US regime has boasted of escalation dominance and as the pre-eminent military power
That perception of "shock and awe" deterred Iran from taking control of Hormuz. Now that the US regime's military charade has been exposed and it has been seen to be impotent, Iran has seized its opportunity and taken control of Hormuz.
The video played a clip of the utterly nonsensical Vance denying there is a "war" going on because, he says, there is no "shooting" going on. Pape said Vance is playing Trump's the "good Lieutenant" i.e., he is spewing rhetoric to defend and support Trump.
Pape believes the US elections could bring an end to the war on Iran if the Democrats win, but it's not certain how they will react. He thinks the war will continue until at least Feb 2027 because it will take months for the political changes post-elections to be implemented.
He said Iran has a deliberate choke hold on oil supply (a pincer movement involving Yemen) and will keep that hold to take advantage (a high price for petrol annoys US voters and so it hurts Trump. A sustained high oil price will generate more revenue for Iran).
Pape said Trump is in an "escalation trap" that he cannot end when he chooses because Iran is a party to the war and Iran can dictate terms and whether to end the war or not, or to escalate it.
It is notable that Trump has not responded for two days since Iran retaliated and went on the offensive with missile or drone strikes, i.e., more Trump "TACO". It is also worth mentioning, Trump warned Iran of devastation if Iran retaliated to Trump's strikes along the coast of Iran - strikes that murdered 18 and injured 108 Iranians. See this link for an article on the civilians injured and murdered by the US attacks.

Violent Israeli settlers beat Palestinian woman unconscious and besiege her home. Update on southern Lebanon
02 Sep 2026
Marouf on Dialogue Works talked of Hezbollah's offensive strike on the Israelis occupying souther Lebanon - after weeks of being in defence mode (attacking only if the Israelis attack). The trigger to switch was the US regime attacking Iran.
He mentioned the ties with Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, and Cyprus, and how Israelis are buying property in Cyprus and establishing a foothold close to Turkey.
He said these countries could become the launchpads for the US regime to attack West Asia resistance, if US bases are forced out of West Asia.
He talked of the memory of the Nazis and the suffering they inflicted on jews not being erased from the memory of generations of jews who followed. He said that memory of atrocities committed is how the Israelis' barbarity and inhumanity in Palestine will endure for generations of people across the globe who have witnessed and directly suffered from Israeli barbarity.
"you couldn't have made the generation [of jews] that lived uh World War II forget the crimes of the Nazis. And you couldn't even make the generation after that also forget it. So this is the same situation that the Israelis find themselves in now."
The video showed a video of a Palestinian woman (Ida) - see image below. Her home was besieged by violent Israeli settlers and all she can do now is view them scurrying around her property via remote video imaging of her home.
She and a US film crew who reported her plight, were attacked by a carload of these violent thugs. They attacked her and she lost consciousness and was taken to hospital. Fortunately, she is now out of hospital. The video shows these masked scum attacking the woman and film crew with batons and stones.
The barbaric leaders in the US-Israeli Axis of Evil spewed hollow words denouncing these thugs.
Marouf said the Israeli police and military allow these violent thugs to attack Palestinians and raid their homes. The military and the police intervene to protect the thugs if Palestinians fight back, i.e., the Israelis are protecting these settlers to violently attack Palestinians with impunity.
Marouf said the barbaric Gvir has handed weapons to these settlers, proof that the Israeli government is actively supporting the violent settlers and not preventing them from attacking Palestinians.

The ruling class and the global cess pit they have created - according to Kees van der Pijl
02 Sep 2026
Neutrality studies posted a video of an interview with an academic Kees van der Pijl. Some of his points were:
1) "Silicon Valley is mostly already people of Zionist inspiration. Don't forget that several of these companies actually assisted the Israeli army when they were raising uh Gaza. Yes. By providing information. A company like Palunteer [Palantir] concluded a formal agreement with the Israeli army uh to provide data for their operations."
2) "the last two 300 years, the English-speaking west has really been in the driver's seat of uh organizing the world and also in the process committing or uh making possible the greatest crimes that we have recorded in history...[Nazi Germany] has to be tracked traced back to the directive capacity of the English-speaking west in organizing a world which at its edges produces these terrible expressions of violence. Uh like think think of Israel today, think of Ukraine today. Y these are the extremities of the English-speaking world with its uh separation of powers which push to the to the outside its ability to murder, rape and destroy." and
3) "they [China and Russia] cannot confront the United States frontally and the NATO with it because simply the West, the English-speaking West and everything that was built around it still today maintains the high ground when it comes to military and even ideological power."
4) "I'm on the side of them [Iran] in uh their defense against the brutal attack that was launched against them illegally by Israel and United states. Yep. Yep. And let's not forget resistance is actually a right under the UN charter um against against colonial oppression."

comment 13) has remained published and has had quite a few recommendations (13 so far).
comment 15) has remained published and has had quite a few recommendations (25 so far).

Further, the FT whitewashes reality by claiming the Israelis are at war with Hamas when the livestreamed genocide of Palestinians and ethnic cleansing of Palestine shows the Israelis' targets are ordinary Palestinian men, women, and children whom Israelis incarcerate, rape, murder, and starve to death with impunity.”
6) “ "Israel’s war against Hamas"
This is shameful and brazen whitewashing by the FT of Israeli barbarity against Palestinian men, women, and children.”
5) “ "Israel’s war against Hamas"
Shameful and brazen whitewashing by the FT of Israeli barbarity against Palestinian men, women, and children.”

The shameless FT misreporting that conceals Israeli inhumanity against Palestinian men, women, and children.

Hundreds of countries continue to trade with the Israeli apartheid state that perpetrates genocide and ethnic cleansing in West Asia
01 Sep 2026
On Dialogue Works, Johnson said the Russians, Chinese and Turkey could stop trading with the Israelis (an economic blockade) - to put a stop to the Israelis' inhumanity. I did some research to find out who trades with the Israelis.
It is shocking to learn - given their barbarity and genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine - that in 2024, the Israeli regime: "exported products to 117 countries and imported products from 192 countries." (link) comprising $92bn imported by the Israelis and $62bn exported by them.
It is shocking to see so many countries trade with such a barbaric society and leadership. The scale flies in the face of the pariah status this apartheid state has across the world.
I think the explanation for so many countries trading with the Israelis is: the politicians who govern countries look the other way and ignore Israeli atrocities in Palestine and across West Asia. Why do they look the other way? Because it's worth money to look the other way. Many politicians have been bought by Israeli money.
Many citizens of many of these trading countries, however, are against the apartheid regime but they have no say in stopping the trading - either because

Many citizens of many of these trading countries, however, are against the apartheid regime but they have no say in stopping the trading - either because
- they are ignorant of the extent of their government's trade with the apartheid regime, or
- they are powerless to stop their government.
- they might be citizens of an autocratic and oppressive regime that shuts down dissent about trading with an apartheid regime.
Debunking more of Cooper's and Trump's lies - this time about Hormuz being cleared of mines
My 28 Aug 2026 post debunked Cooper's lies about the volume of ships passing through Hormuz. One of his other lies was that the US regime has cleared Hormuz of mines:
“We have successfully cleared sea mines in the strait's international shipping lanes that were laid months ago by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). Internationally recognised transit routes in the strait are free of Iranian sea mines.” he bragged. (link).
Trump said the same on 01 Sep (see image below, of his post).
According to a report on 31 Aug, a supertanker in Hormuz struck two mines, i.e., completely contradicting Cooper and Trump's claims of no mines in Hormuz. (link)
There is no independent confirmation of each side's claims about mines.
MeidasTouch said of Trump's claim (see Trump's post in the image below) about no mines:
"That's lie. There are mines in the straight of Hormuz. Two super tankers were hit last night. Iran controls the straight of Hormuz. Donald Trump lies about everything." MeidasTouch did not present evidence to disprove Trump's claim.

FT.com - shameful understatement by the FT in its reporting of the US regime's murderous kidnap of Maduro
01 Sep 2026
FT.com published a piece on Trump's oil deal with the puppet regime in Venezuela. The reporting was an understatement about Trump's murderous kidnapping. Much later, I read the article in full and commented on its commercial rationale. There is no value in it for Venezuelans. My two comments were published and appeared in my Profile:
