It describes a system where tech giants like Google, Amazon, and Facebook amass enormous wealth and power, while treating their users like modern- day serfs, essentially establishing a new form of feudalism ( Varoufakis, 2024). In this system, a small number of companies control vast sectors of society, from economic power to information dissemination, creating a new social hierarchy. People, in turn, become increasingly dependent on these corporations for employment, goods, services, and information—similar to how serfs were dependent on lords in feudal society. Varoufakis’ “Technofeudalism” emphasises how these tech corporations have adopted quasi-feudal roles, influencing social structures and mechanisms of control. This idea has gained traction among scholars and critics exploring the intersection of big tech, capitalism, and social inequality. Elon Musk, often regarded as a “Technofeudal lord,” has steadily grown in influence on the global political stage. His involvement spans U.S. politics, a role at the Department of Government Efficiency, and his outspoken views on European political issues.
Dayna Arnold, 48, boarded the train with partner, site manager Andy Gray, 37, before the incident began minutes later. The couple were in Coach J when she was separated from Andy as people ran for their lives. She had fallen to the floor when the suspect stood over her with a 6in blade and she told him: ‘Please don’t.’ Dayna said: ‘I was running and when I looked back I saw the knifeman running after me. ‘I fell down and I just said, “Please don’t”. Something shifted in his face and he just carried on. He said: “The Devil is not going to win.”‘ She told The Mirror: ‘We just feel very lucky today. If we had been sat at the other end of the carriage, we’d might not be here.’ Andy – who was still wearing the blood-splattered jumper he was dressed in on the train – said he first saw the first bloodshed minutes after pulling out of Peterborough station. He said: ‘We were on the same carriage. Within about five minutes we just heard the panic and commotion in people’s voices. ‘I didn’t see him but I saw the knife moving, plunging. I pushed Dayna but we were separated. There was this young lad who was about 19 or 20. ‘He had gashes on his arm and a severe puncture under his arm. There was a lot of blood coming out of him. ‘He said, “I’ve been stabbed, please help me.” It looked like an artery had been hit. I took off my belt and made a tourniquet. He was saying, “Please call my dad, I don’t want to die”.’ Dayna and Andy fled the station and were given a complimentary room at a nearby pub. They returned to Huntingdon station on Sunday to travel down to Milton Keynes. Andy said: ‘I still have [the victim’s] blood on my jumper. I heard there were two people critical so I hope we saved his life.’ Cassie Marriott, of Huntingdon, was with her mother and sister when she saw shocked passengers outside the station after the bloody incident…

Nigel Farage on what Reform will do to economy and questions from BBC’s Harry Farley. Nord Stream 2 pipeline being blown up had biggest effect on economies.
EXCLUSIVE: Pensioners have warned Nigel Farage to protect the triple lock, after his deputy leader said he couldn’t make any guarantees. Pensioners have warned Nigel Farage that he risks losing their votes if he dares to touch the pension triple lock, urging Reform to protect the policy. It comes after Richard Tice, the party’s deputy leader, said he could not guarantee to keep the triple lock, a policy which he describes as unsustainable. Vivienne Champ, 72, warned Reform that the party would alienate older voters if it backed away from the policy, saying: “Reform should protect the triple lock, because the cost of everything is soaring. If they don’t, they’ll lose votes.” Speaking to the Daily Express in Chatham, Kent, older voters said the triple lock was vital to keeping up with soaring prices, and warned that any move to scrap it would not only “hammer” poorer pensioners, but also cost Reform at the ballot box. Colin Delaney, 73, said that Farage “should protect” the policy, which sees the state pension increase by inflation, earnings growth or 2.5 per cent, whichever is highest, each year. Concerns over pensioners being unable to pay their bills were a major concern, with David Mitchell, 70, saying he and his wife Leslie, 67, were “both happy with the triple lock”. David Whiteman, 66, also warned that “all the bills are going up” as he said he “could not afford to retire”, saying that Reform had to protect the lock. But, despite his warning, Mr Whiteman added: “Let’s give Reform a go, they can’t do no worse than the other lot.” Mr and Mrs Dennis, aged 87 and 85, said scrapping the guarantee would “hammer people,” adding that losing it would be “annoying”. The couple expressed worry about the impact it would have on older people heading into winter. Mrs Browne, 82, said she “wanted a pay rise” and “couldn’t stand Reform,” adding: “I am against everything they stand for.” The triple lock ensures that the state pension rises each year by whichever is highest, earnings growth, inflation or 2.5 per cent. It currently benefits more than millions of retirees and costs the Treasury around £10billion a year. Helen Whately MP, Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, said: “Introduced by the Conservative Government, the triple lock has lifted pensioners out of poverty and given dignity in retirement. “For all their talk, Reform has no plan for the economy, other than increasing welfare spending by lifting the two-child benefit cap. They promised tax cuts for the local councils they run but instead they’re putting taxes up. “Only the Conservatives have a plan to get welfare spending under control, reduce the deficit and cut taxes. Our priority is growing the economy and balancing the books.” Reform did not respond to requests for comment.

The media and Rupert Murdoch In 1993, Potter was given a half-hour slot in prime time by Channel 4 in their Opinions strand produced by Open Media. Potter’s chosen topic was what he perceived to be a contamination of news media and its effect on declining standards in British television “particularly journalists who criticised his Channel 4 series Lipstick on Your Collar”, Kelvin MacKenzie “the sharp little oaf who edits the Sun” and Garry Bushell “that sub-literate homophobic, sniggering rictus of a lout”. His talk was published in The Guardian in abbreviated form as “Murdoch’s Desolate View of Human Life” Craig Brown described the programme in the (Rupert Murdoch owned) Sunday Times: “Potter announced at the beginning: ‘I’m going to get down there in the gutter where so many journalists crawl… what I’m about to do is to make a provenly vindictive and extremely powerful enemy… the enemy in question is that drivel-merchant, global huckster and so-to-speak media psychopath, Rupert Murdoch… Hannibal the Cannibal.’… As a performance, it had a lot going for it. I have never seen a talking head on television so immediate or so unabated in its anger. In many ways, it felt like being collared by a madman on the Tube. Filmed disturbingly close to camera, seemingly ad-libbing the entire half-hour, now mumbling, now rasping, Potter somehow managed to cut through the vacuum that on television usually separates viewer from viewee. This made the performance extraordinary.” Television was a booming industry as well as a burgeoning artistic form and its dissection in the daily press became well established. In retrospect, television criticism of this period seems all the more important for its function to commentate on a medium which seemed at the time to be ephemeral. Potter was thoroughly aware of the power of television, having taken up a traineeship at the BBC after university and writing and directing his own documentary, Between Two Rivers (1960). The programme focused on Potter’s experience of leaving his hometown, and his feelings upon his return from studying at Oxford. This foray into documentary seems to have convinced Potter that fiction was the way forward, and that programmes prying into people’s personal lives were highly suspicious. He was, however, fond of Denis Mitchell’s work, remarking that he was “by far the most talented and humane documentary maker television has yet produced”.

The video of the rape had originally been leaked to the press in early August in the midst of a right-wing backlash following the arrest of a number of soldiers for the rape of a Palestinian prisoner. In her resignation statement on Friday, Tomer-Yerushalmi blamed pressure from the right-wing on her rape investigation for her decision to leak the footage, claiming that she was countering “false propaganda directed against the military law enforcement authorities”. In the leaked footage, soldiers can be seen grabbing and leading away a blindfolded Palestinian prisoner before surrounding him with riot shields to obscure the rape. “For 15 minutes, the accused kicked the detainee, stomped on him, stood on his body, hit him and pushed him all over his body, including with clubs, dragged his body along the ground, and used a taser gun on him, including on his head,” the original indictment stated. According to medical information obtained by the Israeli daily Haaretz, the victim suffered a ruptured bowel, severe anal and lung injuries, and broken ribs as a result of the assault. He later required surgery. What happened to the soldiers? At least nine soldiers were detained in connection with the man’s rape. All but five were released relatively quickly. In February, the remaining soldiers were indicted for “severely abusing” the detainee, but not raping him. The trial is ongoing. A United Nations commission, reviewing the change of indictment and other instances of Israel’s use of sexual and gender-based violence, determined that the decision to downgrade the indictments, despite the evidence, “will inevitably result in a more lenient punishment” if there is a conviction. Get instant alerts and updates based on your interests. Be the first to know when big stories happen. Why weren’t Israeli politicians calling for accountability? Because they determined that doing so was somehow unpatriotic. A number of Israel’s far-right politicians, including Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu, were among those who stormed the Sde Teiman prison in protest at the arrest of the soldiers for rape. Israel’s hard-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir appeared to address Tomer-Yerushalmi directly in July 2024, writing in Hebrew, “The Military Advocate General, take your hands off the reservists!” he said, referring to the soldiers accused of rape. Ben-Gvir’s fellow traveller on the far-right, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, was equally active on social media at the time, writing that the alleged rapists should be treated like “heroes, not villains”. Returning to social media during the furore following the rape, Smotrich chose to ignore the credible accusations of rape and instead called for “an immediate criminal investigation to locate the leakers of the trending video that was intended to harm the reservists and that caused tremendous damage to Israel in the world, and to exhaust the full severity of the law against them”.
Social media videos show guards at the Sde Teiman military base and prison, near Beersheba in southern Israel, shouting at and pushing military police who’d arrived to question the reservists, seemingly in defense of the suspects. The nine Israeli soldiers suspected of the abuse were to appear before a military court Tuesday. Israelis have been rattled by the events, which have highlighted the deep political divisions in the country. A member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, speaking Monday at a meeting of lawmakers, justified the rape and abuse of Palestinian prisoners, shouting angrily at colleagues questioning the alleged behavior that anything was legitimate to do to “terrorists” in custody. Lawmaker Hanoch Milwidsky was asked as he defended the alleged abuse whether it was legitimate, “to insert a stick into a person’s rectum?” “Yes!” he shouted in reply to his fellow parliamentarian. “If he is a Nukhba [Hamas militant], everything is legitimate to do! Everything!” Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who’s drawn U.S. reprimands with his provocative actions since the war started, wrote in a post on social media: “Take your hands off the reservists.” Israeli Military Police investigate suspected abuse of Palestinian detainee near Beersheba Other senior Israeli officials, however, including Netanyahu and army commander Lieutenant-General Herzi Halevi, condemned the attack on the army base by the far-right protesters. “Breaking into a military base and disturbing the order there is severe behavior that is not acceptable in any way,” Halevi said in a statement, adding: “We are in the midst of a war and actions of this type endanger the security of the state.”

with more than 600 vans and caravans now being used as homes across the city – a 300 per cent increase since 2019. It plans to have two additional sites offering temporary facilities in place by the end of the year with more to follow, but it’s not enforceable leaving many to suspect the roadside encampments are going nowhere. The latest figures released by Bristol City Council say there are about 640 to 680 vehicle dwellers currently living in the city. Over recent months, tensions have been high between residents living on the Downs in Bristol and van dwellers, with campaign group Protect the Downs saying they will take the council to court for what it claims is a failure to use existing powers to remove the vehicles. Becky Springett and her boyfriend have had enough of living in a van beside a central Bristol park and is selling up to travel abroad. She says her decision is based partly on the reaction their lifestyle receives. “We have had some (trouble). We got vandalised when someone filled our petrol tank with stones and washing up powder and I think that would have been by someone who didn’t want our van there. They can always come and speak to us politely.” The 28-year-old care worker says they have had little choice than live in the van for the last two years.”We don’t necessarily want to live in a van it’s just rent is so high, everything costs so much,” she says. “I’m a full-time worker and I can’t really afford rent so that’s why I’m living in a van, so they (critics) have to see it from our perspective, too.” The city council has so far committed £400,000 to trying to find a long-term fix through a widespread public consultation.Although encouraged to, the majority of van dwellers haven’t taken part. Some say they’re sceptical about the intentions of the exercise, fearing it is an exercise to provide grounds for enforcement. The council hope their meanwhile sites – providing temporary basic facilities for a relatively small fee – will drastically reduce roadside living.Two new sites will soon add to the existing five with an ambition to provide 250 pitches by next Spring. “These are places where they’ll be able to get access to services,” says the chair of the council’s Homes & Housing Committee, Cllr Barry Parsons. “They’ll be able to feel safe. we need to move on from the situation we’ve got to. This is something that affects communities across the country but it’s very visible here in Bristol and we’ve really pioneering a new approach here.” Council’s proposal The council proposed its new policy on what it describes as a “growing issue” last month and opened a consultation, which lasted six weeks. Residents in Bristol living in permanent or temporary accommodation were encouraged to give their views. In the policy proposal, the council said it aims to “significantly reduce the number of people living in vehicles on highways and council-owned land without consent in Bristol” by offering support and advice to help people move into fixed accommodation. The authority proposed that it would provide a three-month period of support to encourage people to sign up for alternative living arrangements either on a ‘meanwhile site’, supported housing, private rental or moving on from Bristol. What is a meanwhile site? Meanwhile sites are council pitches that provide access to basic services like clean water and toilets for a charge of £31.50 per week. There are currently five sites open to vehicle dwellers in Bristol but there is a waiting list, something the council says it wants.
Monbiot added, “The government’s proposal, criminalising the use of any place without planning permission for Roma and Travellers to stop, would extinguish the travelling life.” “First they came for the travellers” alludes to the famous poem by the German pastor Martin Niemöller with reference to the Nazis, which begins, “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out — Because I was not a socialist”, and continues with reference to trade unionists and Jews, and ending, “Then they came for me — and there was no one left to speak for me.” I hope you don’t think that allusion sounds like an exaggeration. This, after all, is a government that has made a point of demonising immigrants, not just under Priti Patel, but also, shockingly, under Theresa May, in her six dreadful years as home secretary, as I explained in an article in 2016, when she became Prime Minister, entitled, As Theresa May Becomes Prime Minister, A Look Back at Her Authoritarianism, Islamophobia and Harshness on Immigration — a sordid history that was then magnified when the true scale of May’s “hostile environment” became apparent via the Windrush scandal. And since the EU referendum, of course, the Tories — and their cheerleaders in the right-wing media — have not missed any opportunities to continue to stir up anti-immigrant hatred. Nor are immigrants and travellers the only victims of the Tories’ drift into dangerously divisive territory. Since 2010, as I have written about repeatedly, the Tories have also persistently demonised the unemployed and those with disabilities. As the Friends, Families and Travellers website explains, the Criminal Justice Act of 1994 “greatly increased the powers of police and local authorities to evict Gypsies and Travellers camping illegally and removed the duty on local authorities, under the 1968 Caravan Sites Act, to provide sites.” FFT further explained that the Act specifically includes the following sections: The repeal of Part II of the 1968 Act, removing the duty on local authorities to provide sites, and abolishing the government grant for constructing gypsy caravan sites. An extended power for local authorities to direct unauthorised campers to leave land, including any land forming part of a highway, any other unoccupied land, or any land occupied without the owner’s consent. It would become a criminal offence for anyone so directed to refuse to leave, or to return to it within three months. An extended power to Magistrate’s Courts to make orders authorising local authorities to enter land and remove vehicles and property, if persons are present in contravention of a direction to leave. A strengthening of the powers contained in the Public Order Act 1986 (Section 39), giving the police power to direct trespassers to leave if they have damaged the land itself (as distinct from property on it), or if they have six vehicles. It also extends the application of this section to common land, highway verges, byways, green lanes and other minor highways, and includes new police powers to remove vehicles. As FFT also explained, “The Government’s response to critics of the 1994 Act was that Gypsies and Travellers should buy their own land and set up sites. However, the reality is that the current planning system makes this virtually impossible. Although nomadism and unauthorised camping are not, in themselves, illegal, the effect of the legislation has been to criminalise a way of life.”.
This sensational sequel goes even deeper in its analysis of royal finances, examining where the money comes from, how it is used and what has changed with the arrival of a new king. Amongst many other things, it reveals how a family that was effectively bankrupt in 1760 is now one of the richest in the country; how they lobby governments and the media to maximise their profits from the public purse; and how they take advantage of a uniquely beneficial tax and legislative regime. Packed with details on the acceptance of dodgy donations; the appropriation of official gifts for personal use; and the exploitation of public bodies including the NHS, churches and charities, who are charged punitive rates for the use of Duchy-controlled land, this eye-opening exposé also includes a chapter on Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and his money-making endeavours, including his friendships with convicted fraudsters, paedophiles and spies. Pulling no punches, this is the book the royal family really don’t want you to read. Reviews “Norman Baker’s hard-hitting book, cataloguing countless staggering examples of royal greed and exploitation, makes for urgent reading. It’s a wake-up call for monarchists, for passive republicans and for the many who care about this country and democracy.” Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, columnist for The i “In his punchy book, Norman Baker comprehensively exposes the scandalous truth about the royals and their insatiable drive to enrich themselves. It will shake the beliefs of even the most fervent monarchists.” Rob Evans, The Guardian

The film had its world premiere in the Gala Presentations section of the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival on 5 September, to a 20 minute standing ovation. Palestine 36: a broad primer on a complex period in Palestinian history Palestinian filmmaker Annemarie Jacir’s sweeping historical drama tackles a moment of profound change: the year 1936, when the Great Palestinian Revolt broke through the complacency of British rule. Annemarie Jacir did not expect to premiere Palestine 36 during a genocide. The Palestinian filmmaker had been working on a period drama about the region since before the pandemic. In autumn 2023, Jacir’s team were a week away from beginning principal photography in the West Bank when Hamas murdered around 1,200 Israelis in the attacks of 7 October, derailing production and propelling a period piece to horrifying new topicality. By the time Palestine 36 made it to this year’s Toronto Film Festival in September, Israel had killed at least 63,000 people in Gaza. Cast members took to the red carpet with a blood-stained keffiyeh and placards calling for an end to the violence; the premiere was greeted by a 20-minute standing ovation. It’s a grim coincidence that Jacir’s film, which focuses on a pivotal moment in Palestinian history, has arrived during another painfully formative moment for the country. Palestine 36 takes as its focus not Israel’s 1948 declaration of independence – known to Palestinians as the Nakba (‘catastrophe’) – though that looms ominously on the film’s horizon, but an earlier moment of profound change: the year 1936, when the Great Palestinian Revolt broke through the complacency of British rule to protest against long-standing injustices, land theft and Zionist policies. The story of the revolt, and the violent backlash from the British authorities, is complex and sprawling. Jacir tackles this challenge through an ambitious, multi-stranded narrative featuring a diverse ensemble of characters who together offer a cross-section of a society in flux. Port worker Khalid (Saleh Bakri) is pushed into the rebel movement by poor working conditions; sophisticated journalist Khouloud (Yasmine Al Massri) finds herself at odds with Jerusalem’s high society when she exposes colonial injustices; a village community, including young Afra (Wardi Eilabouni) and her grandmother Hanan (Hiam Abbas) face escalating threats from settlers. Meanwhile British officials, including an idealistic administrator (Billy Howle), an inept high commissioner (Jeremy Irons) and the Christian Zionist army officer Orde Wingate (played by Robert Aramayo as a sadist), struggle to maintain the status quo in the face of mounting resistance. At the centre of the story is Yusuf (Karim Daoud Anaya), a young man from the village who serves as a connector between urban and rural worlds when he becomes the protégé of a wealthy patron in Jerusalem.
On his last afternoon, he was by chance interviewed for La Stampa. A few days after his death, his final recorded words were published in a sold-out issue, a prophecy from beyond the grave. He talked about how ordinary life was becoming distorted by the desire for possessions, because everyone was taught that “wanting something is a virtue”. He said it affected every aspect of society, though the poor might use a crowbar to get their spoils, while the rich relied on the stock exchange. He said, referring to his nightly excursions into the shadow world of Rome, that he descended into hell and brought back the truth. What is the truth, the journalist asked. The evidence, Pasolini said, of “a shared, compulsory and wrong education that pushes us to own everything at any price”. He described everyone as victims in this, thinking no doubt of Salò, where victims and perpetrators are locked together in a terrible dance. And he described everyone as guilty, because of their willingness to ignore the costs in favour of their own lucrative private gain. It wasn’t about individual culpability or good and bad actors, he added. It was a totalising system, though unlike in Salò there was a way to escape, to undo the sinister, seductive spell. As ever, his language was more that of the poet than the politician: dense with metaphor, spooky with warnings. “I go down into hell and I discover things that don’t disturb the peace of others,” he said. “But be careful. Hell is rising towards the rest of you.” Right at the very end of the conversation, it is as if he becomes frustrated by the interviewer’s continued attempts to make him clarify his position. “Everybody knows that I pay for my own experiences in person,” he says. “But there are also my books and my films. Maybe I’m wrong, but I keep on saying that we are all in danger.” The journalist asks how he thinks he, Pasolini, can avoid this danger. It is getting dark and there is no light on in the room where they are talking. Pasolini says he will think about the question overnight, that he will answer in the morning. But in the morning he is dead. I think Pasolini was right, and I’m certain that the warnings he kept uttering were why he was killed. He saw the future we’re now in long before anyone else. He saw that capitalism would corrode into fascism, or that fascism would infiltrate and take over capitalism, that what appeared benign and beneficial would corrupt and destroy old forms of life. He knew that compliance and complicity were lethal. He warned about the ecological costs of industrialisation. He foresaw how television would transform politics, though he was dead before Silvio Berlusconi came to power. I do not think the ascent of Trump, a politician formed in Berlusconi’s mould, would have surprised him very much. He wasn’t perfect. He was infected with nostalgia for a rural peasant Italy, the cost of which he was wilfully blind to. He was against abortion and mass education; he took the side of the French police against the students in 1968. His poetry can be self-indulgent, his paintings are bad. He paid for sex with rent boys who stayed the same age as he grew older, and on the other hand he took them seriously, listened to them, found them work, provided a steady source of support. He was a visionary and an artist of unshakeable moral conviction. He would not shut up. The timing of his death makes it seem as if Salò was his final, desolate statement but even on his last night he was talking over dinner about his next film. There was more work to come, unimaginable in its shape, unprecedented in its form. He ate steak, he went cruising. He was hungry, you see. He was on the side of life, always.

According to Cohen, these devices were used for sabotage operations against Hezbollah and other targets that the Zionist regime considered threats. Cohen described in detail the technology behind the creation of “modified equipment” — electronic devices disguised as ordinary objects but equipped with tracking and remote detonation functions. The development of these systems took place from 2002 to 2004 and was later actively used in Mossad’s foreign operations. He noted that these technologies allowed the agency to act “precisely and invisibly,” eliminating opponents and gaining strategic advantages. According to regional sources, such devices were deployed not only in the Middle East but also in Europe, Asia, and Africa. International security experts state that these revelations confirm a long-standing practice of secret sabotage and violations of the sovereignty of other states by Israel. In Lebanon, Syria, and Iran, Cohen’s statement sparked a sharp reaction. Representatives of Hezbollah called his words “proof of systematic state terrorism” carried out under the guise of combating threats. They stressed that Israeli intelligence bears responsibility for numerous bombings, assassinations, and attacks on the territories of other countries. International human rights organizations have demanded an independent investigation into the facts mentioned by Cohen. They argue that these actions constitute violations of international law, particularly the prohibition of the use of force against sovereign states and the protection of civilian populations. Experts emphasize that the use of explosive devices on foreign soil without UN Security Council authorization amounts to acts of aggression. Political analysts note that Cohen’s revelations may be part of an internal power struggle within Israel. The publication of such confessions amid mounting international pressure over war crimes in Gaza intensifies criticism of Tel Aviv’s policies and reveals the willingness of former officials to expose the mechanisms of covert operations. Cohen’s words have reinforced calls to hold Israel accountable for its subversive and terrorist activities. On the international stage, there is growing momentum to classify the actions of Israeli intelligence as a form of terrorism directed against sovereign nations and their citizens.

The British government faces renewed scrutiny over the nature of its military cooperation with Israel after it emerged that it is spending taxpayers’ money to hire American contractors for surveillance flights over Gaza. Aircraft from the Royal Air Force (RAF) have conducted hundreds of surveillance flights over Gaza throughout Israel’s war on the besieged enclave. This week it also emerged that the British military has begun hiring American contractors to carry out surveillance flights over Gaza for Israel. An American plane belonging to Straight Flight Nevada Commercial Leasing LLC, an American company and subsidiary of the Sierra Nevada Corporation, flew for three hours over Khan Younis on 28 July, Palestine Deep Dive reported earlier this week. On Wednesday it was confirmed that the aircraft, registered as N6147U, was used on behalf of the British government. Its identification was possible due to an extraordinary error: the aircraft did not fully turn off its transponder, meaning it could be tracked flying over southern Gaza. Ministry of Defence (MoD) sources confirmed to The Times that the British government has paid the Nevada-based company to conduct surveillance flights over Gaza and pass intelligence to Israel. The MoD has repeatedly insisted surveillance flights over Gaza are in support of “hostage rescue”. But according to The Times, sources within the MoD “are baffled by the decision to privatise RAF intelligence-gathering tasks to help Israel, questioning why the government hasn’t pulled support after photographs emerged of starving Palestinians.” A senior military source reportedly said: “Instead of sending a message to Israel that we aren’t going to do surveillance for you, we are happy to hire an American company and pay for it.”

Ukraine Executes Civilians As They try to Escape To Russia. AGAIN! Patrick Lancaster A shocking new tragedy has unfolded near Kupyansk in the Kharkiv region. According to front-line reports, Ukrainian drone operators attacked a group of unarmed civilians who were trying to reach Russian positions, carrying white flags to show they posed no threat. Civilians Targeted in Open Field Two elderly men from the village of Petropavlivka were reportedly walking along a rural road toward Russian defensive lines. They carried small bags and clearly visible white flags, hoping to escape the fighting and reach safety. Ukrainian FPV drones circled above the men for a long time — long enough for the operators to see that they were unarmed civilians. Then the drones deliberately struck, killing both men instantly. The bodies were later found on the roadside, with pieces of white cloth still clutched in their hands.
The drone observed the first man, carrying a white flag – a universal sign for surrender, or in the case of civilians, that they pose no threat – before flying right at him, blowing him apart and injuring the dog walking beside him, who presumably died as well. Ukraine slaughters civilians, then blames Russia – again Source: Pixabay The second civilian, upon reaching the body of the first, crossed himself and walked on. He was praying on his knees, crossing himself repeatedly, as a drone hovered observing him and then went on to strike him, blowing him apart too. Ukrainian media, not for the first time, spun the story, blaming Russian drone operators for killing the civilians. Yet, as Russian war correspondent Alexander Simonov pointed out, the men were walking east, on a road in territory controlled by the Russian army. “There are no targets for our drones on our rear roads. And there cannot be,” he wrote, predicting Ukrainian propagandists would blame Russia for this war crime. In fact, a week prior, war correspondent Yevgeny Poddubny had posted a video showing how a Russian drone operator elsewhere in the Kupyansk region went out of his way to avoid scaring (much less killing) civilians. “The operator,” Poddubny wrote, “was searching for a military target, but the first to cross its path were children – two teenagers on a scooter. In a second, the drone stops moving to avoid frightening the children. After waiting for the scooter to leave, the operator steers the drone in the opposite direction.” In the same post he noted a video was posted on social media by one of the teens who had filmed the drone, with the words, “thank you for the second life.” In September, RIA Novosti published a video of the Ukrainian army killing a woman with a drone in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) village of Shandrigolovo. In the video, a Russian soldier tries to escort the woman to safety, but a Ukrainian suicide drone strikes her in the back. Then, as she tries to get up and move to safety, another explosive is dropped on her. Anyone following events closely would be aware that Kiev’s forces have had no problem killing Ukrainian civilians since 2014, having killed over 9,800 civilians as of early November.

“People believe that nuclear war is unthinkable, that it is so terrible that they cannot imagine it. And yet, today there are processes that, once they begin, cannot be stopped. People only realize this when it’s too late and life is over. Therefore, we live on the brink of nuclear war every minute of every day until we change the existing policy,” he replied to a question about the likelihood of using nuclear weapons in the near future. According to him, the people in whose hands the nuclear weapons are located will act according to the instructions received. Consequently, he considers it necessary to make every effort to ensure that such an order is never given. Ritter positions his book as a call for vigilance for the whole society. “The book is addressed to everyone who may be affected by the nuclear war. Ordinary people, businessmen, military, politicians — everyone should read this book. And not only for Americans, but also for Russians,” he added. In conclusion, the former officer said that in his understanding, victory would mean holding meaningful consultations with representatives of the American and Russian political elites on nuclear safety issues and finding ways to reduce this threat.
And so, according to Mikhail Khodorkovsky, “Putin knows the end is coming soon.” You know what else President Putin knows? That the sky is blue, the grass is green, and a family consists of a father (who is a man), a mother (who is a woman), and their children. Of course, we all know the end is coming for everyone—and for a 73-year-old, probably sooner than for a newborn. The fact that President Putin recognizes what’s true is indeed praiseworthy in our books, compared to the complete perversion of reality on the part of globalist leaders, whose many beliefs apparently include that men can give birth, cheap energy is a security threat, and Ukraine is winning the war against Russia. Then what is the point of the opinion piece? It is that Mikhail Khodorkovsky is a knight in shining armor who will save Russia from the evil Putin regime. Needless to say, the people of Russia can’t wait to embrace as their savior someone who enriched himself through theft of state-owned property during post-Soviet privatization. As for all the suffering Mr. Khodorkovsky allegedly endured in Russian prisons, we are supposed to believe it had everything to do with his political views—and nothing to do with the Russian government preventing Yukos (the world’s fourth-largest oil producer) from falling under direct Western (U.S./UK) corporate control via a merger with ExxonMobil or Chevron, which would have ceded strategic leverage over Russia’s energy sector to foreign powers. By the way, those political activities were engineered, inspired, and modeled after Soros’s Open Society NGO. As for the recently opened criminal case against Khodorkovsky in Russia, no—it is not about the Putin government being about to fall. It is about the Russian government finally having the common sense to go after London-based revolutionaries with the stated goal of regime change in Russia. After all, we have been there before with London-based Vladimir Lenin in 1902-1903. Finally, we can’t really blame Mikhail Khodorkovsky for wanting to return to Moscow. With skyrocketing costs of living and rampant crime in London, who wouldn’t? #InfoDefenseAuthor #InfoDefenseENGLISH

We examine Islamic scriptural perspectives on current Middle East conflicts, prophecies about Israel’s future role, and interpretations of end times events including the Dajjal (False Messiah), the Great War, and the conquest of Constantinople. Sheikh Imran presents his scholarly interpretation connecting Islamic eschatological texts to contemporary geopolitical developments in Gaza, Iran, and the broader Middle East. This represents one theological perspective on complex religious and political topics. IMPORTANT CONTEXT: This video presents Islamic eschatological interpretation and religious scholarship. Views expressed represent Sheikh Imran Hosein’s scholarly analysis of Islamic texts and their application to current events. This is theological commentary, not political advocacy or conspiracy theory.

[UPDATE channel restored by YT in July 2025] October 2022 – Tony’s Public Enquiry Channel opened in March 2008, with 13 million views, over 1,600 videos and 26,000 subscribers is removed under false pretences by YouTube – A video Tony recorded in New Zealand ‘Bill Gates, ID2020 & Revelation: Quaker Tony Gosling on Covid 19 & the Bible’ and uploaded on 8th April 2020 got a ‘third strike’ but YouTube’s ‘medical misinformation’ regime was introduced in September 2021 so should not have included as ‘strikes’ videos uploaded before that date. Documentary makers are just about the only public interest investigators left in the NATO zone. From the top down, our mainstream media, police, political parties & intelligence services are being compromised by feudal banksters, secret societies and the mafia. Key people intimidated by psychopathic black magic types and their pliable drones who will even kill to take over positions of power?

February 2019 – Ofcom complaint result: UKLFI exposed as creation of Israeli foreign ministry – Bristol Post article: BCfm cleared after being reported to Ofcom for anti-semitic conspiracy theories – It could have resulted in BCfm radio station being shut down if the complaint was upheld Tony Gosling reported to Ofcom by UK Lawyers for Israel after being accused of anti-semitism A Bristol radio station, which had one of its programmes reported for anti-semitism and racism has been cleared by Ofcom. The radio regulatory body received a complaint from “UK Lawyers for Israel’ over a show on BCfm radio, hosted by investigative journalist Tony Gosling. The weekly politics show, on the popular community radio station based in Easton, was reported for several allegations on a show which aired on November 23. Tony Gosling, who was a former BBC journalist between 1989 and 1993, has been producing and presenting ‘The Tony Gosling Politics’ show every week on BCFM radio for 11 years. They have released a statement which reads: “Whilst we are supportive of all our volunteer presenters, The Tony Gosling Politics Show only represents approximately ten percent of our political output content wise, and less than two per cent of our entire weekly output.” Mr Gosling’s programme looks at local politics and he interviews a range of councillors and MPs in the city. The show is also perhaps more well known for its alternative look at international politics, and he has a cult following online from across the world. Mr Gosling has made regular appearances on national media including the politics show with Andrew Neil on BBC One, and international channels such as Russia Today, Channel1 Russia, NTV, and recently for both Turkish and Lebanon TV.
November 2012 – Tony gets death threats on the phone from the Jewish Defence League – ‘you’re a dead man walking’ – a man calls him and Tony records the call. Audio of UK Jewish Defence League (JDL) death threat against British journalist Tony Gosling (2012) – Avon and Somerset police Special Branch investigate, trace the caller, and after six months report to Tony that the individual has been served a caution that they will proceed with a prosecution for harassment under the 1861 offences against the person act. Seems pretty clear this death threat was issued alongside the lies, copied below, which were published on their blog by London based UK JDL in November 2012. Firstly Tony Gosling is not a ‘homophobe’. That accusation was first made in an article published by the ‘Harry’s Place’ blog, penned by Zionist David Toube and propelled by him anonymously into Private Eye in 2008. It refers to Gosling’s criticism of senior teachers at Bannerman Road Primary school in Bristol who used homosexual early learning picture books against the express wishes of the parent governors. His criticism was about the deception by teaching staff not because of the homosexual content of the books. Secondly, if you follow the JDL link you’ll find what Tony Gosling actually says about the ‘Protocols Of The Learned Elders Of Zion’ says “…I don’t think there is much doubt that the Protocols are fake…” Thirdly he is not a member of Bristol Palestine Solidarity Campaign and has never been to any of their meetings.
Autumn 2014 – Tony’s documentary production and distribution business shut down by its bank. Our thriving Co-op business bank account ordered closed for undisclosed reasons. Tony Gosling and Ben Edwards founded i-Contact Video Network to distribute documentaries on VHS video and DVD and to make their own documentaries as well as attend news events and sell video footage to TV news channels. Amongst the films we distributed were Operation Solstice, Coconut Revolution, Mark Purdey and Organophosphates, McLibel, 9/11 In Plane Site, Ludicrous Diversion and The Battle of Trafalgar. These, plus books, and even a board game about drug dealing ‘Dollars and Dibble’, were all available via mail order and we supplied libraries around the world too. The bank had clearly been ordered to investigate us for money laundering, although they never admitted it. All the questions they asked Ben and I were about proving our identity through passports etc.. When we did, yet more letters kept arriving demanding more proofs, birth certificates etc. and eventually when one of us missed supplying the required information, within a week or so of being asked, the account was summarily closed and we got a cheque made out to one of us with the few hundred pounds that was in the business bank account. Since neither of us could get a business bank account up and running for at least a few months and the bank account meant nobody could any longer use the website, we made the reluctant decision to shut it down. Thus was a thriving business killed off by the Co_operative bank. Having said that, co-op were not quite the worst. We did apply to open an account at Bristol’s ‘ethical’ Triodos bank, who proceeded to string us along for several months and then said our business was too risky for them to provide an account!
