Christians represented in politics? Europe giving Ukraine $100bn Euro loan. EU agrees €90bn loan to Ukraine after frozen Russian asset plan fails Money to be borrowed against bloc’s budget after leaders fail to agree on proposal using Moscow’s funds EU leaders have struck a deal to lend €90bn to Ukraine, borrowed against the bloc’s shared budget, after a proposal to use immobilised Russian sovereign assets collapsed. The financial agreement represents a critical lifeline for Ukraine, and comes as Europe seeks to assert its right to influence US-led peace talks to end Russia’s almost four-year war against Kyiv. “We committed, we delivered,” European Council president António Costa said after the summit of EU leaders agreed the loan. EU capitals have for months wrestled over using €210bn of cash belonging to Russia, most of which is held in Belgium, to back a so-called reparations loan for Kyiv. Belgium had demanded expansive guarantees to cover any financial risk from the loan, which led other leaders to reject those terms, according to officials briefed on the discussions. Ukraine has warned that it faces collapse in early 2026 without additional support. EU leaders had pledged not to leave the summit in Brussels without agreeing some form of financial aid. “The absence of a decision would have been a disaster,” said French President Emmanuel Macron after the summit. He urged European leaders to speak directly to Moscow and play a role in peace talks.

Roman Abramovich – unfreeze assets to give to victims of Ukraine war. Oligarch or Philanthropist? UK warns Abramovich to give Chelsea sale cash to Ukraine or face court UK government warns Roman Abramovich of last chance to give Chelsea sale proceeds to victims of Russia’s war in Ukraine. The United Kingdom on Wednesday said it was giving Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich a final chance to give Ukraine 2.5 billion pounds ($3.33bn) from the sale of Chelsea Football Club or face potential legal action. The UK sanctioned Abramovich in a crackdown on Russian oligarchs after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, triggering a rushed sale of the Premier League football club and freezing of the proceeds. The UK wants the funds spent only on humanitarian causes in Ukraine, in line with a wider European push for Moscow to foot the bill for deaths and destruction triggered by its invasion. Reuters was not immediately able to reach representatives for Abramovich for a response to the government statement. He has previously sought more flexibility and said he wants the money to go to all victims. Abramovich has 90 days to act under the terms of the government’s new licence. Should the Russian businessman fail to free the funds quickly, the government said in a statement that it was fully prepared to take him to court if necessary to enforce a 2022 agreement with him. “It’s unacceptable that more than 2.5 billion pounds [$3.33 bn] of money owed to the Ukrainian people can be allowed to remain frozen in a UK bank account,” Finance Minister Rachel Reeves said in the statement. Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the UK would issue a licence to release the funds. This would allow the transfer of the money to a new charitable foundation. “We will consider any proposal from Mr Abramovich to make use of this clear legal route to establish the foundation and transfer the funds under the terms of the licence,” Reeves said in a separate statement issued to parliament. European Union leaders are set to review on Thursday proposals aimed at using proceeds from immobilised Russian sovereign assets to support Ukraine’s huge budget and defence needs – something Moscow fiercely opposes. Under Abramovich, Chelsea enjoyed the most successful run in their history before the club were sold to a consortium led by US investor Todd Boehly and private equity firm Clearlake Capital in May 2022.

Trump’s Ukraine Peace Deal vs Europeans keeping the war going. Blaise Metreweli, new head of MI6, inaugural speech – algorithms spreading fear. Money, Ideology, Coercion and Ego, MICE. New MI6 chief’s grandfather was Nazi spy who boasted of ‘exterminating Jews’ The grandfather of the incoming chief of MI6 was a leading Nazi collaborator who boasted of killing Jews. Blaise Metreweli, 47, is set to become the first ever female head of the agency after 26 years serving it in Europe and the Middle East. She is the granddaughter of Constantine Dobrowolski, a Ukrainian who infiltrated the Red Army to become an informant for the Germans, according to the Daily Mail. German archive documents unearthed by the newspaper show he was known to Wermacht commanders as ‘Agent No. 30’ or ‘The Butcher’. He was said to have sent letters to superiors saying he ‘personally’ took part ‘in the extermination of the Jews’, signing off with ‘Heil Hitler!’. Soviet leaders placed a bounty equivalent to £200,000 in today’s money for the mole, whom they called the ‘worst enemy of the Ukrainian people’. Document signed by Constantine Snr This is Nazi grandpa signing “heil Hitler” grandfather of Blaise Metreweli source via reporter A letter appears to show Dobrosky signing a letter off with ‘Heil Hitler!’ Dobrowolski, born to a German-Polish father and Ukrainian mother in 1906, was said to have vowed revenge on the Soviets after they destroyed his home and killed most of his family during the Ukrainian-Soviet war when he was 11. As an adult he spent 10 years in a Siberian prison camp for dissidence, antisemitism and concealing his ancestry. When the Germans invaded Ukraine in 1941, he joined the Red Army, later writing to his spy handlers that he used the ‘panic’ to get himself sent to the front despite his ‘political unreliability’. That gave him an easy opportunity to defect to the Germans, serving in an SS tank unit and apparently taking part in the ethnic cleansing of Jews in occupied Kyiv. Ms Metreweli says she never met her grandfather, who stayed in Ukraine when his family fled the Soviet reclaimed Ukraine from German occupation in 1943. Reports indicate her father was also named Constantine Dobrowolski but also used the surname Metreweli after moving to the UK. Beka Kobakhidze, a Georgian historian who uncovered the family tree, told the Telegraph the revelation will likely become ‘a favourite talking point for Kremlin propagandists for years to come’. A Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office spokesman said: ‘Blaise Metreweli neither knew nor met her paternal grandfather. ‘Blaise’s ancestry is characterised by conflict and division and, as is the case for many with eastern European heritage, only partially understood. ‘It is precisely this complex heritage which has contributed to her commitment to prevent conflict and protect the British public from modern threats from today’s hostile states, as the next chief of MI6.’

Epstein – Mossad, Maxwell operation. Epstein files released. Epstein files: Five things we learned in latest batch of documents released A cache of new pictures from the Epstein files have been released – with more set to follow in the coming weeks. The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has made public never-before-seen photos of the disgraced paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and the celebrities with whom he socialised. The release of new material from the top-secret files comes after it was revealed on Tuesday that some of the convicted sex offender’s alleged victims were trafficked on nearly 90 flights to and from the UK between the early 1990s and 2018. Celebrities – including pop stars, politicians and businessmen – have been pictured in the DOJ’s release of new Epstein documents. Before the publication of new files on Friday, one of the big questions was over how far Donald Trump would feature in them. The files have been a political problem for the US President – as many of his supporters and Republicans in Congress have demanded their release. Before Epstein’s 2008 conviction, he and Trump were friends. The pair socialised frequently in the 1990s and early 2000s. Prior to Epstein’s trial they fell out in the mid-2000s, Trump previously said. Former US president Bill Clinton was mentioned and pictured a number of times in the files released on Friday. Photos showed him swimming in a pool with Maxwell as well as being in a hot tub. Who else was pictured? Other famous faces included in Friday’s release of new images from the Epstein files were singers Michael Jackson and Diana Ross. Clinton was seen smiling at the camera while his arm was around Jackson. Jackson and Epstein were pictured together looking towards the camera in an undisclosed location. Another celebrity from the music industry was The Rolling Stones frontman Sir Mick Jagger. He was seen with Clinton and a woman whose face was redacted. Sir Richard Branson also posed for a photo with Epstein with two women behind them. Peter Mandelson, who was sacked as the UK’s ambassador in the US after his links to Epstein were unearthed earlier this year, was photographed with Epstein. Sarah Ferguson, ex-wife of the disgraced former prince, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, was also seen sitting on a sofa with a woman whose identity was redacted. Mountbatten-Windsor was photographed lying across women at a black-tie event as Maxwell stood smiling behind them. And actor Kevin Spacey posed for a photo with Maxwell, Clinton and three others in the Churchill War Rooms in London. Other celebrities included the magician David Copperfield who posed with Maxwell, both wearing bath robes, smiling at the camera and holding what appears to be packets of sweets. Most of the photos have been released without captions or context and individuals’ presence in them is no suggestion or proof of any wrongdoing.

Should Putin compromise more for a Ukraine peace deal? Air Chief Marshall, Sir Richard Knighton, on Russia attacking us and how we need a home army.This transformation is about building a world-leading integrated force that is digitally connected, that exploits the skills of our people and that blends a high-low mix – ie a mix of high-end platforms augmented by cheaper autonomous systems that deliver increased survivability and lethality and are rapidly scalable and more easily adapted. This is what the first sea lord talked about last week with the Atlantic Bastion concept. It’s how the Chief of the General Staff will deliver the multiple increases in lethality that he has promised. And it’s why the MOD announced today that in its first year of operation, our newly-formed UK Defence Innovation will invest over £140 million to push the pace of developing and scaling innovative uncrewed and counter-uncrewed systems – supporting dozens of British SMEs, micro-SMEs and universities in the process. It’s also why we must exploit the opportunities of AI. In war, superior intelligence – in planning, execution and tactics – can be the decisive factor – we cannot afford to be outperformed in intelligence wars. The race to exploit new technology and integrate it into our fighting system is one we must win. It is often said that necessity is the mother of invention. Understanding that necessity demands that we understand how the threat is changing. So, as I finish, this brings me back to where I started and my conclusion that we need a more mainstream and sophisticated articulation of the threat and, most importantly, how the situation is becoming more dangerous.

Putin says Russia is ready for war if Europe wants it Putin’s warning came before a meeting with Donald Trump’s envoy on a peace plan for Ukraine, which despite five hours of talks resulted in ‘no compromise’ reached President Vladimir Putin has said Russia is ready to fight a war with Europe if it is provoked, as he accused leaders of sabotaging US-led efforts to end the war in Ukraine. “We are not planning to go to war with Europe, but if Europe wants to and starts, we are ready right now,” he said on Tuesday. “They are on the side of war.” He said Europe had made demands on a possible peace settlement for Ukraine, which he said Russia found “absolutely unacceptable”. Putin suggested European powers were hindering President Donald Trump’s efforts to broker a peace deal in order to accuse Russia of not wanting peace. The Russian leader was speaking at a plenary session of the VTB Russia Calling Investment forum in Moscow, ahead of talks with Mr Trump’s special envoy and son-in-law – Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Last month, Russia and the US agreed to a 28-point plan – widely condemned by European governments – that would force Ukraine to give up land, cut its army and cease its NATO ambitions. On Tuesday, Volodymyr Zelensky revealed a reworked 20-point plan, following talks with US officials over the weekend. Putin accused Europe of seeking to undermine Mr Trump’s peace efforts by making proposals that leaders knew were unacceptable to Russia. He said: “We can clearly see that all these changes are aimed at only one thing: to block the entire peace process altogether, to make such demands which are absolutely unacceptable to Russia.” As was widely expected, the talks between Mr Trump’s envoy and Putin on Tuesday night, despite lasting nearly five hours, failed to produce a significant breakthrough. Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev said discussions were “productive” in a post on X. Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov also said they had been constructive. But the latter added that the two sides are no closer to resolving the crisis in Ukraine, and said there was much work to be done. He noted that the sides failed to reach a compromise on one of the most difficult issues – territorial disputes. Few details on the talks have been made public, with both sides agreeing not to disclose the substance of the talks. Despite European criticism of the 28-point plan, Mr Zelensky went to work on it, before revealing the 20-point version. “The work was based on the Geneva document, and that document has been refined,” Mr Zelensky wrote on X (Twitter), as he called for more European involvement, and said there was more that needed to be worked out. “Our diplomats are actively working with all partners to ensure that European countries and other participants in the Coalition of the Willing are meaningfully involved in developing decisions.” The news came as fighting intensified around the Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk, with Russia claiming its capture and releasing pictures of its forces waving Russian flags in the town. Ukraine maintains that fighting remains ongoing. A senior Nato official told European Pravda that Russian forces controlled 95 per cent of the town in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region, which has been the focal point of fierce fighting on the eastern front for more than a year. Russia controls 95 per cent of Pokrovsk, a senior Nato official said Russia controls 95 per cent of Pokrovsk, a senior Nato official said (Russian Defence Ministry) “Ukrainian forces are still conducting defensive actions inside the city, but as supply routes have been almost completely cut, Ukrainian troops are dependent on resupply by drones, which is becoming increasingly difficult,” the official said. “Russians control over 95% of the city… There are only isolated pockets where Ukrainian forces continue to resist.” In the neighbouring town of Myrnohrad, Ukrainian forces have been “virtually encircled” and are relying on drones for supplies, the official said.

NATO’s Rutte Praises Trump despite US/EU split over Ukraine war: Undersea cables. BBC Report – Mark Rutte, Sec Gen of NATO – should prepare for war like our grandfathers. Peace deal possible. Nato spending pledge is Trump’s biggest foreign policy success, Rutte tells BBC Nato countries’ pledge to spend 5% of their economic output on defence is Donald Trump’s “biggest foreign policy success,” the alliance’s chief has said. In an interview with the BBC, Mark Rutte said it was thanks to Donald Trump that Nato was “stronger than it ever was”, adding that Trump “is good news for collective defence, for Nato and for Ukraine”. The US leader has harshly criticised European allies for spending very little on defence – even threatening to withdraw US protection if they fail to do so. The Nato chief has warned that Russia could attack allies within the next five years. Russia’s President Vladimir Putin dismissed such talk as “hysteria” on Wednesday. “I’ve said it repeatedly – it’s a lie, nonsense, pure nonsense, about some imaginary Russian threat to European countries,” Putin told defence officials in Moscow. After Putin launched Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, he announced the annexation of four Ukrainian regions – Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson. Russia had already annexed Crimea in 2014. It now occupies most of Luhansk, and is understood to demand Ukraine’s withdrawal from all of Donetsk, too, even though Ukraine still controls up to 23% of the eastern region. Putin said the goals of what he calls “the special military operation” would be achieved. He said he preferred to do it through diplomacy, before warning that, “if the opposing side and their foreign patrons refuse to engage in substantive discussions, Russia will achieve the liberation of its historical lands by military means”. In his interview with the BBC Radio 4’s PM programme, the Nato secretary general said it was “insane” that Putin’s pursuit of his “historical idea that you want to regain access to Ukraine” – or over the entire territory that used to constitute the former Soviet Union – had caused the death or serious injury to 1.1m of his people. Mark Rutte praised Trump’s efforts to find an end to the war. US envoys have been conducting intense negotiations with Ukrainian officials over a Trump-proposed peace plan whose initial draft was seen as favouring Russia. It envisages ceding control of territory in the east of the country to Russia, as well as security guarantees for Kyiv to forestall future Russian aggression. US officials say Washington is ready to offer Ukraine guarantees modelled on Nato’s Article 5 clause of mutual protection. The Nato chief told the BBC that “Russia will see that, with the security guarantees in place, he should never ever try again to attack Ukraine because our reaction will be devastating and that’s exactly what we are now discussing”. European allies who met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday in the German capital, Berlin, said a European-led force was also envisaged to “assist in the regeneration of Ukraine’s forces, in securing Ukraine’s skies, and in supporting safer seas, including through operating inside Ukraine”. Putin has opposed any such ideas. He has also warned that Russia does not seek conflict with Europe, but is ready “right now” if Europe wants to – or starts a war…

Is Russia Really a Threat to Europe? Debunking Rutte’s claims Military targets for Russian missiles in UK: Rutte – is threat from Russia overstated? Does Putin want to regain Soviet Union?  Mihail Evans is a Research Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies, New Europe College in Bucharest. Addressing the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs in January 2025, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte urged EU countries to increase their defense spending, warning that if European nations do not dramatically expand military spending citizens will need to “get out your Russian language courses.” This presentation was part of a blizzard of diplomacy by the alliance’s Secretary General, which culminated in alliance members pledging to spend an unprecedented 5 percent of GDP on defense at a summit in The Hague at the end of June 2025. For European states, this is an historic spending commitment of unprecedented magnitude. Whether or not it is warranted is a matter of great importance. Rutte has apparently convinced European leaders that Russia has future aggressive intentions, but his claims have been exposed to little serious scrutiny. There are two pressing questions that need to be asked. Firstly, whether today or at any stage in the foreseeable future, the Russian military has the capability to undertake an attack on a NATO member state? And, secondly, does Russian President Vladimir Putin have a realistic rationale for invading any European country? That is, does Russia have the capacity or strategic interest for such an offensive action? The first question deserves a resoundingly negative answer. In nearly three years of intense fighting, Russian forces have not managed to capture Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine, much less the country’s capital, Kyiv. As of summer 2025, they occupy 20 percent of the country, only half of which was captured during the last three years of fighting. Since 2024, a mere 0.6 percent of the country has been taken. The cost of this glacially slow progress is estimated to be 1,000 casualties a day with totals now reaching into the hundreds of thousands. Just to maintain this rather geographically limited conflict, Putin has been forced to enlist prisoners and deploy North Korean troops. Recruits have been sought in Cuba, Syria, Nepal, and India, as well as in former Soviet republics of Central Asia. There are great difficulties with turning those enlisted into an effective fighting force. One in five deaths have been of commanders, with the ranks of junior officers sustaining significant damage. These losses have made the reconstitution of effective units a severe challenge. ..

The Infantile Ramblings Of Hamish de Bretton Gordon – cyber attacks on our infrastructure – planning. Take Hamish De-Bretton Gordon, retired Colonel and Chemical weapons expert with even less expertise than Dom Nicholls, who, in any case, has no expertise. He regularly posts fantastical articles with titles such as ‘Putin is eating his own supporters,’ and ‘Putin will be quaking in his boots today.’ It doesn’t matter that they have no understanding of the strategic balance of power in the war. Facts and analysis are entirely redundant for people whose top, indeed, only priority is to peddle the latest lines from the Ministry of Defence on Whitehall. This is not journalism it is government propaganda. The BBC, which in any case is a state-owned broadcaster, is bad enough in its one-sided reporting, but the Telegraph is more sinister because of its infiltration by pseudo-government operatives covering as experts. The biggest failing of western media commentary of the war in Ukraine and, indeed, of the Ukraine crisis since it started, has been the complete lack of comparison. Focus is always and only on the negative impacts of conflict on Russia itself. And, indeed, there have been negative consequences. Russia is subject to over 20,000 economic sanctions, locked out of most trade with the west, excluded from political dialogue as an article of diplomacy, cut off from most international sports and cultural events, hundreds of thousands of its troops killed or injured since the war started, its regular citizens increasingly restricted in their movements within Europe. The economy of today’s Russia looks vastly different from that in 2014 when the crisis started. As President Putin recently pointed out, economic growth is sagging from its early war highs which were stimulated by a massive fiscal splurge. Interest rates and inflation remain worryingly high, labour shortages in some industries are growing, the population continues to age, and it remains over-reliant on fossil fuel exports. Yet, it is not enough to say that Russia faces economic challenges without looking at the comparable challenges facing Ukraine, which, certainly in the pages of the Telegraph, you will seldom hear mention of. So, let’s take Ambrose-Pritchard’s spurious suggestion that Russia’s oil exports are collapsing on the back of Trump’s recent sanctioning of Rosneft and Lukoil. This would be more persuasive if it were true and if Ukraine’s exports were somehow performing much better.

The early evidence does suggest that US sanctions on Rosneft and Lukoil have dramatically reduced their volumes of trade. However, there is also evidence, that trade has simply been diverted to other Russian exporters of oil, with no significant net effect. Bear in mind that Russian oil has been sanctioned in one way or another by the EU since 2014, and that there has been a progressive shutting down of gas exports since the war in Ukraine started. You would therefore expect that the total value of Russia’s exports had fallen, so let’s look at that. Since 2014, the average quarterly value of Russian exports has been a fraction above $100 bn. This takes account of the huge surge in export values shortly before the war started and throughout 2022 on the back of soaring oil prices. In the four quarters from Q4 2021 to Q3 2022, Russian exports averaged $150 bn (or $50 bn per month), 50% higher than the long-term average. In the first two quarters of 2025, Russian exports have come in at $98 bn, $2bn below the long-term average, but, in fact, identical to the two-year period from Q4 2019 through Q3 2021. So, no evidence here of sanctions having a more than marginal impact at best, at a time when Russia has shifted its exports towards Asia and the global south. In any case, the value of exports is a less helpful reference than the overall trade balance, i.e. the difference between exports and imports. It doesn’t matter how big a country’s exports are if they are importing more. Let’s take a historical look back to the start of the Ukraine crisis in 2014. Russia’s current account surplus – its balance of exports over imports – was much narrower in the second half of 2014 ($10 bn per quarter) and throughout 2016 ($6 bn) when oil prices were low, than it has been in the first two quarters of 2025 ($11 bn) when oil prices have been falling. Conversely, in 2022, Russia pulled in its highest ever current account surplus, with a quarterly average of $59.5 bn, when oil prices were soaring. However, Russia is used to the oil price going up and down, and hasn’t experienced a full-year current account deficit since 1997, and even then it was less than $1 bn. Consistently exporting more than it imports, Russia has built its international reserves over time, giving it resilience against external economic shocks and pressure. Russia’s international reserves have steadily grown from around $400 bn in late 2014, to $725 bn now. Even if western powers expropriated all of the approximately $300 bn in immobilised assets, Russia would still possess more than it had in 2014, the year the Ukraine crisis started. In a quite bizarre comment, Evans-Pritchard says ‘Putin can keep selling Russia’s reserves of gold, all the way down to the Tsarist double eagles at the bottom of the vault beneath Neglinnaya Street,’ (the location of Russia’s Central Bank). This hints strongly, that Russia is on the verge of running out of gold, right? And yet, Russia’s reserve stock of monetary gold has grown from $132 bn when the war started in 2022, to $299 bn today, which includes an increase of $17bn in October 2025. I don’t say this out of any desire to prove Russia to be right, but rather from a determination to let our analysis of the situation to be driven by data, not vacuous sound bites. The ridiculous announcements in the Daily Telegraph lack credibility precisely because they consciously and intentionally avoid hard evidence…

Iraq war whistleblower Katharine Gun – be aware that corporations are eating away our souls.  Matt Smith’s “compelling” thriller that “pushes all the right buttons” gets new UK streaming home A “timely” and “ambitious” thriller starring Matt Smith, Keira Knightley and Ralph Fiennes is streaming right now for free on BBC iPlayer. Released in 2019, Official Secrets tells the story of British intelligence specialist Katharine Gun (Knightley), set during 2003 in the lead-up to the Iraq War. She is sent a memo from the NSA advising her that the US is enlisting the UK to help collect compromising information on UN Security Council members in a bid to blackmail them into voting in favour of the invasion of Iraq. Incensed by the actions of both her government and the US, Gun leaks the memo to the press. It is based on the real-life story of whistleblower Katharine Gun, who leaked top-secret information to a friend, who passed it to The Observer. Directed by Gavin Hood, Official Secrets’ cast is rounded out by Matthew Goode, Adam Bakri and Indira Varma. If you missed the film when it aired on BBC Two on Monday night, you can now stream it at your leisure for no extra cost over on BBC iPlayer. It holds an impressive 82% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with the critics’ consensus reading: “Official Secrets has a familiar structure and an obvious if worthy message, but rises on the strength of Keira Knightley’s powerful performance.” In their review, Observer wrote: “Whatever its flaws, Official Secrets reminds us just how seriously the state took its pursuit of Gun, who had nothing to gain and everything to lose by raising the alarm, revealing the teeth behind the smarmy smiles.” Many praised Knightley’s performance, with Sight & Sound saying: “It’s Knightley’s intensely focused performance that sustains the film. She inhabits Gun with an almost ascetic bearing, especially when her drawn countenance is placed against the sepulchral gloom of the GCHQ environs.” Refinery29 branded Official Secrets “compelling”, while Screen International said it “pushes all the right buttons”. Empire Magazine added: “Official Secrets is a timely, ambitious if broad take on a complex subject, but remains engaging and entertaining. anchored by Keira Knightley on great form.” Speaking to The Guardian, Knightley opened up about the time she spent with the real Gun in preparation for the role. “I had lunch with her, and she came to the set once. I really liked her,” she began. “Gavin Hood, the director, had said he didn’t want a characterisation of her. I mean, I don’t look anything like her. She has an interesting accent because she was brought up in Taiwan. I really wanted to do that, but Gavin wouldn’t let me. “I’m not a journalist, of course, so this was the first time I had asked anyone any questions that they legally could not answer. What is amazing about Katharine is that her point of view is so utterly clear.” She continued: “As far as playing her, that point of view had to come across. This is a story told through her eyes.” Official Secrets is streaming now on BBC iPlayer

Patricia Opulenza poem. Johnny Vedmore – Epstein The Musical. The Jeffrey Epstein Podcast The Musical (Full Album) – Johnny Vedmore Johnny Vedmore Anyone who knows me understands that I am always in a battle against those who censor my journalism. I only deal in stories which others tend to steer clear of. I am the guy who reports the hidden aspects of extremely complex and controversial cases. I’ve also been a songwriter for about 30 years. I never pushed my music on anyone because I treat it as a hobby. Now, I intend to spend a lot more time merging my main talents. It’s never been easier to take any of the 100s of songs I’ve written and recorded over the past 30 years and reform them using modern music production technology. It’s actually quite insane. The main motif of The Jeffrey Epstein Podcast The Musical is actually the old podcast theme I wrote on synth about 5 years ago. It seemed appropriate. Because in this very special album, I start to tell the story of Jeffrey Epstein’s operation in a way which will hopefully do various things: I want to break the censorship algorithm by using the form of a parody comic musical, which I have seen used as a bridge on other occasions. I want to make the information from the Epstein case more accessible to the masses. Songs are a useful way of expressing an idea or notion which is complex for someone to appreciate in writing. I want to make people think. This is the start of telling a difficult story because the elements are vile. There are only a few ways to tackle such a subject, and it allows for an emotional juxtaposition. This project will not always be funny; some of it will be sad and thought-provoking. Parody helps swing you from one emotion to another and prepares the audience for an emotional journey that most refuse to take in everyday life. It will highlight the circus-like nature of the Epstein case. In the manufactured world of the Big Tech algorithms, the Epstein case is ridiculous and senseless. However, to a journalist who knows the entire story, it all makes a lot of sense. Parody is the best way to present an artistic expression of the real lived madness. It allows me to point out the famous Epstein associates who have been hiding their real and provable connections to the International Moneyman of Mystery. This is vital. I’ve written a lot about the connections between Jeffrey Epstein and people like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk. Everything gets hidden in the algorithm. In fact, at the same time as these people are having Big Tech platforms delist, geo-block and otherwise censor my work, I’m often left with only my music untouched. I want to entertain people. I know the Epstein case inside and out, and I’ve been lyric writing for 30 years. Combining the two is a no-brainer. Parody allows me to have fun, make jokes, and be silly. It allows me to make fun of the people who have also falsely represented my articles. During a takedown request to Substack, one Epstein associate claimed that I clearly said that she was “The Mossad”. This was simply because I reported on her involvement with Epstein in a company called Carbyne911, alongside the former heads of the IDF and Israel’s Unit 8200. I never definitively called her “the Mossad”, but I can make fun of her own false claims that misrepresented my work. Parody allows me to do another thing I love, comedy. I also love musical theatre. Don’t make judgments; we all have our weaknesses. This album is set to release on the 20th December, unless Ditto Music strikes again!

Ukraine – Colonel Douglas Macgregor – why US is rowing back on war. You know,you and I watched President Trump when he ran for election the first time and the second time, and I don’t think his views have really changed personally. I mean, he may may have wandered sometimes off the track in in foolish directions, but you know, he’s president. Lots of presidents do that. But I think his basic position that I knew when I saw him in November December of 2020 on NATO and on foreign policy in general, I don’t think it’s changed at all. So the question you have to ask yourselves, who were the donors that imposed on President Trump this man Rubio and his contingent, Mrs. Adlesen, Dr. Aden, I believe she’s an MD. Sheldon Adlesen’s surviving wife, who according to Scott Ritter and others on this show, said to Donald Trump, “$und00 million legally into a political action committee for you. Make Margaret Rubio, Marco Rubio, your vice president.” Trump said, “I can’t stand the man. No way would he be my vice president.” Then she said, “Give him the next best. Make him secretary of state. He’s a expert. heard him doing air quotes in foreign affairs, particularly uh Latin America, and that apparently carried the day. Now, when Rubio says, “I’m going to Moscow to talk to Lavough.” The president says, “No, you’re not. Jared and Steve are going.” Okay, I’m going to Geneva to meet with the other foreign ministers of NATO. No, you’re not. The Secretary of the Army is going. So, what is Rubio doing? He’s worried about the font. I’m not making this up. the font sizes on the official documents that come out of State Department.

Ukraine – News wartime mindset. BBC Six O Clock News – Ukraine Russia UK war looming…?. WWIII NATO chief Rutte warns members to be ready for war with Russia. Nato must switch to a wartime mindset, warns secretary general NATO’s Rutte warns allies Russia could wage war on a scale ‘our grandparents endured’ NATO chief Mark Rutte has urged allies to step up their defense efforts to prevent a future conflict with Russia, which he warned could reach “the scale of war our grandparents and great-grandparents endured.” In a speech in Berlin on Thursday, Rutte accused many members of the Western military alliance of being complacent, saying that they do not fully grasp the urgency of Russia’s threat in Europe and that they must rapidly increase defense spending and production to prevent a war comparable to that faced by earlier generations. The head of Nato has said it is time to “shift to a wartime mindset”, as he warned the military alliance’s members were not spending enough to prepare for the threat of a future conflict with Russia. Secretary general Mark Rutte said Moscow was “preparing for long-term confrontation with UkrNATO’s Rutte warns allies Russia could wage war on a scale ‘our grandparents endured’ NATO chief Mark Rutte has urged allies to step up their defense efforts to prevent a future conflict with Russia, which he warned could reach “the scale of war our grandparents and great-grandparents endured.” In a speech in Berlin on Thursday, Rutte accused many members of the Western military alliance of being complacent, saying that they do not fully grasp the urgency of Russia’s threat in Europe and that they must rapidly increase defense spending and production to prevent a war comparable to that faced by earlier generations. “We are Russia’s next target. I fear that too many are quietly complacent. Too many don’t feel the urgency. And too many believe that time is on our side. It is not. The time for action is now,” Rutte said. “Conflict is at our door. Russia has brought war back to Europe, and we must be prepared for the scale of war our grandparents and great-grandparents endured,” Rutte, who served as Dutch prime minister from 2010 to 2024, warned. ‘Wartime mindset’ Although he welcomed the decision by NATO members during a summit in June to increase annual military spending to 5% of GDP by 2035, Rutte argued that more needed to be done, urging alliance members to shift to a “wartime mindset.” “This is not the time for self-congratulation,” Rutte said, warning that Moscow may be strong enough to attack NATO territory sooner than many assume. “NATO’s own defenses can hold for now, but with its economy dedicated to war, Russia could be ready to use military force against NATO within five years,” he said. The bill limits the Pentagon’s ability to draw down troops without congressional approval. Photo by Artur Widak/NurPhoto via Getty Images Rutte’s remarks come against the backdrop of rising tensions in Europe, fueled by Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, now nearing its fourth year, and growing uncertainty over the United States’ long-term commitment to the region under President Donald Trump. Last week, the White House published a new National Security Strategy that has unsettled European capitals due to its unusually critical tone toward the continent and the absence of any reference to Moscow’s aggression in Ukraine.aine and with us”, describing the current security situation as the worst in his lifetime. “We are not ready for what is coming our way in four to five years,” he said in his first major speech since becoming secretary general in October, urging members to “turbocharge” their defence spending. His comments come weeks before president-elect Donald Trump takes office, having previously suggested the US would not protect Nato allies that were failing to spend enough on defence. What is Nato and which countries are members? Trump ‘encourages’ Russia to attack non-paying Nato allies Mark Rutte called the current security situation the “worst in my lifetime” Nato members have pledged to spend at least 2% of the value of their economies – measured by GDP – on defence per year by 2024. But speaking at an event in Brussels, the former Dutch prime minister said “a lot more” would be needed as danger “[moves] towards us at full speed”. He said European members had spent upwards of 3% of GDP on defence during the Cold War. “If we don’t spend more together now to prevent war, we will pay a much, much, much higher price later to fight it,” he said. He added that Russia’s economy was “on a war footing”, with its defence spend by 2025 set to be “a third of Russia’s state budget – and the highest level since the Cold War”. Russia has significantly increased its defence spending since launching its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, with record levels approved for 2025. Rutte spoke at a critical juncture in the war in Ukraine, with Russian forces grinding forward in the east of the country. By November, Moscow had seized six times as much Ukrainian territory in 2024 compared with the whole of 2023.

US intelligence helps Ukraine target Russian energy infrastructure, FT reports Oct 12 (Reuters) – The U.S. has been helping Ukraine mount long-range strikes on Russian energy facilities for months in a joint effort to weaken the economy and force President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table, the Financial Times reported on Sunday. U.S. intelligence has helped Kyiv strike important Russian energy assets, including oil refineries, far beyond the front line, the newspaper said, citing unnamed Ukrainian and U.S. officials familiar with the campaign. The White House, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s office and Ukraine’s foreign ministry did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment. There was no immediate comment from the Russian foreign ministry. Moscow said this month that Washington and its NATO alliance were regularly supplying intelligence to Kyiv in the war Putin launched in February 2022. “The supply and use of the entire infrastructure of NATO and the United States to collect and transfer intelligence to Ukrainians is obvious,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters then. The FT said U.S. intelligence helps Kyiv shape route planning, altitude, timing and mission decisions, enabling Ukraine’s long-range, one-way attack drones to evade Russian air defences. The United States is closely involved in all stages of planning, it said, citing three people familiar with the operation. A U.S. official was quoted as saying Ukraine selected the targets for long-range strikes and Washington then provided intelligence on the sites’ vulnerabilities. Early this month two U.S. officials told Reuters that Washington would provide Ukraine with intelligence on long-range energy infrastructure targets in Russia, as it weighs whether to send Kyiv missiles that could be used in such strikes. The U.S. also asked NATO allies to provide similar support, the U.S. officials said. Zelenskiy said on Saturday he had discussed Russian attacks on the Ukrainian energy system in a “positive and productive” call with U.S. President Donald Trump. “We discussed opportunities to bolster our air defense, as well as concrete agreements that we are working on to ensure this. There are good options and solid ideas on how to truly strengthen us,” Zelenskiy posted on X.

From workers hero, to techno slave-master – the rise of Xi-Jinping (2024). The Rise of China’s President Xi Jinping: From Workers Hero, To Dystopian Techno-Slave Master (2024) PBS Frontline documentary China, the U.S. & the Rise of Xi Jinping (November 2024) We Have Been Harmonised: Life in China’s Surveillance State Document Number Nine The most important of these diametric opposites concerns Western liberal values. In 2013, an amazing paper from the highest reaches of the CCP, catchily known as ‘Document Number Nine’, or ‘Communiqué on the Current State of the Ideological Sphere’, came to light. (The journalist who leaked it, Gao Yu, was sentenced to seven years in prison and is currently under house arrest.) Document Number Nine warned of ‘the following false ideological trends, positions and activities’: ‘promoting Western constitutional democracy’; ‘promoting “universal values”’; ‘promoting civil society’; ‘promoting neoliberalism’; ‘promoting the West’s idea of journalism, challenging China’s principle that the media and publishing system should be subject to party discipline’; ‘promoting historical nihilism’ (which means contradicting the party’s view of history); ‘questioning Reform and Opening and the socialist nature of socialism with Chinese characteristics’. The paper, which is cogent and clear, takes direct aim at the core values of Western democracy, and explicitly identifies them as the enemies of the party.1 It sees the internet as a crucial forum for defeating these enemies. The conclusion speaks of the need to ‘conscientiously strengthen management of the ideological battlefield’, and especially to ‘strengthen guidance of public opinion on the internet’ and ‘purify the environment of public opinion on the internet’. Document Number Nine is thought to have been either directly written by, or under the auspices of, President Xi Jinping. It marked a new turn in the history of China, and quite possibly the history of the world: the moment at which a powerful nation-state looked at the entire internet’s direction of travel – towards openness, interconnection, globalisation, the free flow of information – and decided to reverse it. In effect, it was a decision to prove the Western boosters of the internet – holders of Friedman’s nutcracker view – wrong. The biggest internet companies in China can be seen as knock-offs of American originals, though because China is so big, the Chinese versions are now in many cases larger than their US templates, and as they have grown they have added many distinctive features of their own. Baidu is Google, Alibaba is Amazon (they’re the ones behind ‘Singles’ Day’), Tencent is sort of Facebook plus Netflix. These three giants together are known as BAT, analogous to Silicon Valley’s FAANG of Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google. Sina Weibo, usually referred to just as Weibo, is Twitter, which has been blocked in China since 2009. The story of the Chinese internet pivots around Weibo, because it was that company that came closest to embodying the opening up of information that internet advocates see as the main transformational point of the technology….

Police ‘can’t decide’ if anti-abortion campaigner should be charged for praying – Charity worker has been waiting 10 months to hear if she will be prosecuted for silent act near clinic –  Catholic charity worker says someone’s thoughts ‘cannot possibly be a crime’ and her ‘punishment has clearly been the process’ Police and prosecutors are “frozen with indecision” over whether to charge a woman for silently praying near an abortion clinic, campaigners have claimed. Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, a Catholic charity worker, is being investigated by West Midlands Police for allegedly breaching a new buffer-zone law intended to prevent people protesting near abortion centres. The legislation does not stipulate whether silent prayer is outlawed, but an investigation into her actions was launched in January and is being seen as an important test case. In August the matter was passed to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) for consideration, but, more than 10 months after the initial investigation was launched, still no decision has been made. Ms Vaughan-Spruce and her supporters have said there is so much confusion around the new law that the authorities have been left “frozen with indecision”. They have argued that silent prayer and freedom of thought cannot possibly be a crime and have urged Stephen Parkinson, the director of public prosecutions, to intervene and end her ordeal. Ms Vaughan-Spruce was first arrested in December 2022 for silently praying inside a “buffer zone” imposed by the local authority around a clinic in Kings Norton, a suburb of Birmingham. In February 2023 she was acquitted of all charges at Birmingham magistrates’ court when the prosecution failed to offer any evidence to support the charge. Weeks later she was arrested for a second time with officers telling her that engaging in silent prayer within the restricted zone was an offence. Following a six-month police investigation the charges were dropped and she subsequently received a £13,000 payout and an apology from West Midlands Police. A national “buffer zones” law was passed in October 2024, prohibiting “influence” within 150 metres of every abortion facility in England and Wales. While the law does not stipulate whether silent prayer should be prohibited, CPS guidance indicates that mere thoughts or presence do not meet the threshold and only “overt” action should be considered criminal. In March, Ms Vaughan-Spruce was informed that she was once again under investigation, but is still waiting to hear if she will be charged. ‘Silent prayer cannot possibly be a crime’ The average wait for a person will be charged in the West Midlands is two days, but it is understood the case – which concerns a relatively minor summary-only offence – is now being considered at the highest level of decision-making in the CPS, involving an executive team led by the DPP. Ms Vaughan-Spruce, who was now lodged a complaint with the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), told The Telegraph: “Despite being fully vindicated multiple times after being wrongfully arrested for my thoughts, it’s unbelievable that I have been repeatedly interrogated and harassed by police for silently praying in that area, and yet again find myself under a lengthy investigation. “Silent prayer cannot possibly be a crime – everyone has the right to freedom of thought. The punishment in my case has clearly been the process. “This all began nearly three years ago, in December 2022, when I was arrested for the first time for my thoughts. The state should never punish citizens for holding Christian beliefs and simply standing peacefully. I hope the director for public prosecutions can put an end to this ordeal once and for all.” Jeremiah Igunnubole, legal counsel for ADF International, a Christian legal advocacy organisation which is supporting her, said: “The authorities are frozen in indecision about whether they’re really expected to prosecute somebody’s silent prayers. “The protracted delays and persistent legal uncertainty surrounding the enforcement of so-called “buffer zones” were entirely foreseeable. “Buffer-zone legislation is so broadly drafted that police officers, prone to ideological pressure, routinely misinterpret the Christian practice of prayer near abortion facilities as inherently criminal in nature. That premise is not supported by evidence and is incompatible with long-established principles of English law. “Isabel’s case exemplifies the serious constitutional difficulties these provisions create. No individual in a free society should face repeated investigation, arrest, prosecution, or the threat of imprisonment solely for the content of their thoughts or being known to hold to traditional Christian beliefs in a public place where they have every right to be.” “I would never criticise what must be for some women a heartbreaking decision, but how is standing in silent prayer harassment? This legislation is another example of this Government saying ‘you have freedom of speech just as long as you think the same way as us’”. “If they can do this for abortion clinics, then they should provide the same protection from protesters outside oil companies, art galleries, synagogues, mosques, Israeli embassies and all businesses that trade with Israel.” “How can you prove, beyond reasonable doubt, that someone is praying silently? And what about the content of the prayer? Is it illegal (say) to pray to win the lottery in an exclusion zone? Or is it only illegal to pray for unborn children?” “Let us call this out for what it is – harassment of females who are acting within the law, by people who do not want them to access a legal and available service. Any female using these services will likely be in distress, and they should be left in peace.” “If prayer worked, it would work whatever the location, so there’s no need for anyone to pray near an abortion clinic. The only purpose is to unsettle women who are going there.” He went on: “It is increasingly clear that measures ostensibly framed as narrow public-order safeguards are being used to suppress legitimate, peaceful expression on the basis of its viewpoint. “Once we permit the state to criminalise thought and prayer today, broader categories of unpopular but lawful speech become vulnerable tomorrow.” Earlier this month, Simon Foster, the Police and Crime Commissioner for West Midlands, wrote to the Chief Constable of West Midlands Police to express concern about the length of time the decision is taking. The Telegraph previously revealed that Donald Trump, the US president, had sent US officials to meet with British pro-life activists, including Ms Vaughan-Spruce, over concerns about the erosion of free speech in the UK. A five-person team from the US state department travelled to London in March and interviewed campaigners to feed back to the White House.

Irish teacher Enoch Burke returns to prison after ‘fanatical campaign’ – Enoch Burke at the High Court, in Dublin, in October 2025 –  The Irish teacher Enoch Burke has been returned to prison by the High Court in Dublin. Mr Justice Cregan said that Mr Burke and members of his family had engaged in a “deliberate, sustained and concerted attack” on the authority of the civil courts and the rule of law. Irish teacher who refused to ‘call a boy a girl’ in trans row will remain in jail for Christmas, judge rules A teacher who refused to ‘call a boy a girl’ will remain in prison over Christmas after he was jailed last month for contempt of court, a judge has ordered. Enoch Burke has been detained in Mountjoy Prison since late November for breaches of a court order directing him not to trespass at Wilson’s Hospital School in Co Westmeath, where he worked as a teacher. He has been engaged in a legal dispute with the board of the school stemming from a request in 2022 from the then-principal that a student be addressed by a new name and pronoun. Since then, Burke has been found to have repeatedly trespassed on school property in breach of court orders. He was brought before the High Court in Dublin on Wednesday for a hearing on several matters relating to the dispute. At the outset of the hearing, Mr Justice Brian Cregan warned Burke, who was accompanied by his father and one of his brothers, that if there was any interruption from any member of his family, he was going to ask them all to leave the court room as he was ‘not going to tolerate any further interruption’. It came after gardai were directed to remove members of the Burke family from the court during previous sittings. Mr Justice Cregan also told Burke, who was representing himself, that he would be immediately returned to Mountjoy Prison if he strayed beyond the normal conduct of the court and that he could continue attending remotely. Burke contends that he is in prison for his religious beliefs relating to transgenderism. He said he had a ‘clear conscience’ and that he respected the ‘laws of the land’. The judge told Burke this was ‘nonsense’, adding that the court ‘does not engage in “Alice in Wonderland” language’. He said Burke had been in contempt for years and ‘no amount of you wishing it away’ would change that, telling him that he was in breach of a valid court order that had not been appealed. Mr Justice Cregan said Burke had a constitutional right to his religion and religious beliefs, but he had been dismissed for gross misconduct. He said the ‘irony of the situation’ was that if he had remained outside of the school gates, he would not have been in prison for a single day. Burke maintained that the reason for his suspension was his refusal to comply with the principal’s instruction. The judge said there was ‘no doubt’ that that was where the dispute started, but the contempt was an entirely separate issue relating to the order not to trespass.

Journalist Oliver Tickell joins Tony and Martin to ask why Washington now wants to stop the war with Russia it started in 2014 and why the EU wants to keep the killing going? German Chancellor in UK. Oliver Tickell on Ukraine war. Europe just made Russia’s case for Odessa. When you authorize naval-drone terrorism against Russian civilian oil tankers in the Black Sea, don’t whine when Moscow redraws the coastline. You wanted escalation? Fine. Now watch your proxy lose Odessa, and with it access to the Black Sea. Washington is hunting for a face-saving imperfect peace after admitting Russia can’t be beaten. But London, and the EU — delusional, hysterical, and terrified of the coming reckoning from their own populations, keeps pushing the kind of escalation that guarantees one outcome: Russia removing Ukraine’s coastline so the Black Sea can’t be used as NATO’s private terrorism platform. Every naval-drone attack, every strike on a tanker, every British engineered terror op doesn’t weaken Russia, it strengthens Russia’s moral, legal and military argument for needing Odessa. On Nov 21, Ukraine launched a MAGURA V5 naval drone packed with ~200 kg of explosives at the Russian tanker SIG, a civilian vessel transporting fuel. Earlier, on September 13, a coordinated drone-and-missile strike hit Sevastopol’s shipyard, damaging a patrol ship and igniting a fire visible for kilometres. In October, multiple MAGURA V5 drones attempted to strike the Sergey Kotov, a patrol corvette, the footage released by Ukraine’s GUR bears the hallmark of British-assisted targeting and mission-planning systems. The pattern is undeniable, Ukraine’s entire maritime warfare capability is thanks to the West. These naval drones didn’t glide across the Black Sea on luck and instinct. With operational ranges approaching 800 kilometers, Ukraine’s MAGURA V5 drones strike far beyond coastal waters, but only with the eyes and brains of NATO. They rely on Western ISR: real-time satellite feeds from the UK and France, RQ-4 Global Hawk patrols off Romania, Starlink uplinks beaming mission data, and British-assisted target coordination. Europe wasn’t just observing. It was triangulating and commanding. And now, after cheering on attacks launched with AI-assisted maritime drones and foreign-fed targeting, Europe feigns shock that Moscow may erase access to the very coastline launching them. Europe is not supporting Ukraine. Europe is sacrificing it, with full knowledge of what these strikes provoke. Every official in Brussels, London, and Paris understands Russia’s red lines, they’ve memorized them for years. They know that attacking civilian tankers, port infrastructure, and Black Sea Fleet assets from a Nato-commanded coastline forces Moscow to harden the entire southern theater. Yet they push Zelensky, their puppet, into terror operations that guarantee Odessa becomes a battlefield and cease forever to be a bargaining chip. When a coastline becomes a NATO forward-operating platform masquerading as a proxy state, removing that coastline becomes self-defense. Europe knows this. Washington knows this. That is precisely why Europe, cornered and terrified of the political reckoning on its own soil, keeps escalating. Starmer fears British rage at the coming humiliation. Macron fears the streets of France. They all know what’s coming. And here lies the supreme irony: the same political caste that spent decades sneering that Russia was “a glorified gas station” is now petrified at the thought of facing Russia without American cover. Moscow now has zero incentive to leave a hostile coastline intact. Landlock Kiev. Neutralize NATO’s Black Sea fantasies. When Odessa falls, Europe will shriek “aggression,” pretending not to remember who designed the drones, who funded and commanded the operations, daring Russia to respond. But the world will remember. And history will not record this as conquest. It will record it as the foreclosure of a coastline weaponized by Europe’s own madness. Russia will will by turn the map into a verdict, one future generations of Europeans will demand their leaders answer for, and there will be hell to pay for the betrayal of Europe.

NATO considering ‘pre-emptive’ strikes against Russia – The chair of the Nato Military Committee says a more aggressive approach may be needed to deter Putin Nato is considering “pre-emptive” action against Russia following a string of hybrid attacks on Europe, a senior official in the alliance has warned. Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, an Italian who serves as chair of the Nato Military Committee, said the alliance may need to adopt a more “aggressive” approach to deter Moscow from continuing its campaign of drone incursions and cyber attacks in Europe. A recent Financial Times investigation revealed how Nato has been put on high alert after three vessels in the Baltic Sea were accused of dragging their anchors in a bid to damage energy and communication cables, with a total of 11 incidents recorded. Other incidents include frequent cyber attacks on European countries and incursions of Russian drones into Nato airspace. Admiral Dragone told the FT that the alliance was “studying everything” in deciding how to respond. “On cyber, we are kind of reactive. Being more aggressive, or being proactive instead of reactive, is something that we are thinking about,” he said. He acknowledged that such an approach would be unusual for Nato, but that new tactics may be required as the war in Ukraine nears the end of its fourth year. Admiral Dragone argued that a “pre-emptive strike” by Nato could be considered a “defensive action”, despite it being “further away from our normal way of thinking and behaviour”. “Being more aggressive compared with the aggressivity of our counterpart could be an option. [The issues are] legal framework, jurisdictional framework, who is going to do this?” In January this year, Nato launched Operation Baltic Sentry, a mission to better patrol the region and deter a possible Russian attack. This included amping up the number of patrol aircraft, warships and drones. Russia was not directly named in the announcement, but Nato secretary general Mark Rutte said at the time that the alliance would improve its monitoring of Moscow’s “shadow fleet”, a term that refers to ships without clear ownership that are used to carry sanctioned oil. Admiral Dragone added that this had been a positive step by Nato to make the region safer. “From the beginning of Baltic Sentry, nothing has happened. So this means that this deterrence is working,” he said. However, concerns still exist about whether the operation is going far enough. A court in Finland recently dismissed a case against a crew on board a shadowfleet ship that damaged undersea cables in the Gulf of Finland, because the incident happened in international waters. Russia said on Monday that Admiral Dragone’s remarks were “extremely irresponsible” and an attempt to move towards escalation. Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said: “We see in it a deliberate attempt to undermine efforts to overcome the Ukrainian crisis. The people making such statements should be aware of the risks and possible consequences, including for the alliance members themselves.”

Is Putin really guilty of killing lady, Dawn Sturgess, with Novichok in Amesbury. Police officer apologises for describing Novichok victim as well-known addict Dawn Sturgess died on July 8 2018 after she was allegedly exposed to the nerve agent, which was left in a discarded perfume bottle in Amesbury, Wiltshire. A police officer has apologised for describing Novichok victim Dawn Sturgess as a “well-known drug addict” in an email after her poisoning. Dawn Sturgess, 44, died on July 8 2018 after she was exposed to the nerve agent, which was left in a discarded perfume bottle in Amesbury, Wiltshire. It followed alleged attempted murders of former spy Sergei Skripal, his daughter Yulia and then-police officer Nick Bailey, who were poisoned in nearby Salisbury in March that year. All three survived, as did Ms Sturgess’s boyfriend, Charlie Rowley, who had unwittingly given her the bottle containing the killer nerve agent. Previously, the Sturgess inquiry heard that paramedics who attended to Charlie Rowley formed a view he was suffering from nerve agent poisoning, but the police disagreed with them. The inquiry heard Mr Rowley was known to Wiltshire Police as a drug user. Temporary Superintendent Kerry Lawes, who was a detective sergeant at the time of the poisoning, gave evidence to the inquiry in central London on Monday. In an email sent to the coroner on July 1, before Ms Sturgess’ death, she said the police had received a report of a possible nerve agent poisoning, which she believed was a drugs overdose. In the email she said the ambulance and fire brigade who attended the scene had “panicked somewhat”, adding that Dawn Sturgess and Charlie Rowley were “two well-known drug addicts”. However, it has since come to light that there is no evidence that Dawn Sturgess was a drug user, and they had indeed been subject to nerve agent poisoning. Ms Lawes, who could not attend the inquiry in person, apologised for these comments in a statement which was read out on her behalf. “I have stated the ambulance and fire panicked somewhat, this was an unprofessional comment to make and I would like to take the opportunity to apologise for it,” she said. She said her belief that the incident was drugs related was influenced by information she had received from the police. She also apologised for writing that Ms Sturgess was an addict. “I now know there is no intelligence to support the assertion that Dawn Sturgess was herself a user of illegal drugs or an addict,” she said. She added that she had always acted in good faith and based on what she thought was in the best interests of the individuals involved. Detective Sergeant Eirin Martin also gave evidence to the inquiry. She received a handover on the case from then-detective sergeant Lawes on July 2. She said the police’s initial hypothesis was that Ms Sturgess and Mr Rowley had ingested drugs cut with pesticides, and this had caused them to overdose. Because of this hypothesis she asked Wiltshire Police’s media team to send out a press release on July 2 warning of a potential “bad batch” of drugs. “At the point I made the press release in relation to the contaminated drugs that was, at that point, the primary hypothesis,” she said.

Not Novichok poisoning – Fentanyl. Doctor was told Skripals were poisoned with Fentanyl A DOCTOR among the first people to notice and aid the Skripals when they were found slumped on a bench gave evidence at the Inquiry. On Tuesday, October 29, Ms Helen Ord, at the time a paediatric registrar, was walking back to Sainsbury’s car park with her partner, Chris, after going shopping. It was at this stage they saw two people on a bench who were later identified as Sergei and Yulia Skripal. She said: “I instantly thought they weren’t well. What I found particularly odd, which is what made me notice them, is the positioning of the two of them.” The male was staring into space, moving his mouth but not talking to anybody. Ms Ord couldn’t see his face initially but it struck her as “odd” and the lady next to him was in a “very odd position”. She continued to walk and said to her partner “they don’t look very well”. She described how the female’s body was “hooked” around the bench and she appeared to be fitting – having a tonic clonic seizure. The lady was very “pale and waxy” and the male was “mumbling” and words were “foreign” A military nurse (now identified as Alison McCourt) and her husband were next to stop and help. “It was very unusual for two people to be unwell at exactly the same moment, which was clearly what was happening”, Ms Ord said. Ms Ord says it took 30 minutes for the ambulance to arrive. “It felt like a long time for the ambulance to arrive, it was about 30 minutes in total. The lady was continuing to fit and I was very worried she was going to arrest” Later that evening, Ms Ord was contacted by a police officer – asking how she was. He advised that she was to throw her clothes away, telling her the pair had been poisoned with Fentanyl. She said: “I thought this strange due to the reaction with Narcan. I did not know Fentanyl was a recreational drug, it fits with his pupils being constricted, but Narcan would have worked if it was Fentanyl. I also thought it strange that he would tell me to throw away my clothes if they thought it was Fentanyl.” She told the Inquiry that Fentanyl is ‘not a dangerous drug to touch’. Ms Ord added: “Prior to me understanding what had happened the only things I could categorically say was that it was an extremely bizarre incident that I had never seen anything like before, that my suspicion was that it had been a poisoning of some description whether that was an intentional take of something or not, I would have no idea.”

Porton Down near Salisbury. The Alternative Skripal Narrative February 17, 2019 by Michael Antony for The Saker Blog The recent titbit fed to us by Bellingcat (reputedly close to MI6) that a third Russian agent was booked on the flight from Heathrow to Moscow on the night of 4th March 2018 — the flight taken by the two alleged GRU officers filmed in Salisbury — but didn’t show up for it, has pointed to a possible solution to the baffling Skripal puzzle. What if the third man, or perhaps the man who was supposed to take his place, was by then lying in Salisbury Hospital in a coma from opiate poisoning? What if Sergei Skripal was a triple agent trying to escape back to Russia to tell the world the truth about the Steele Dossier, which he had helped to concoct as a scurrilous, obscene joke and which had unexpectedly become the new bible of the insane war party in Washington? This is the alternative narrative I will set out in detail here so that the reader can judge whether it forms a more plausible and coherent story than the mishmash of improbabilities, absurdities and contradictions served up by the British police and MI6. Of course in the absence of all the facts we must sometimes use imaginative reconstruction to fill in the gaps, but the point is to see how many thorny problems, raised by the facts we do have, can be solved by this narrative and cannot be solved by the official one. It is not necessary to decide whether Skripal was a triple agent from the start (that is, a plant sent across in a spy swap, a classic Cold War way of infiltrating the enemy) or whether he became a triple agent when he realized how important this grotesque Steele Dossier had become and how much the Russians would pay him to come back and demolish it. What evidence there is (his phone call in 2012 to his old school friend, Vladimir Timoshkov, whose account of it three weeks after the poisoning gained widespread UK media coverage) suggests he started out as a purely mercenary traitor. Disillusioned by the collapse of the USSR into a gangster capitalist state run by Yeltsin’s mafia cronies, he decided he might as well profit from it by selling the corpse of what had once been his country to the highest bidder. The Russians didn’t seem to think of him as much more than a common criminal (only worth a moderate 13-year sentence, instead of the death penalty he would have got in the USA for betraying 300 agents) or they wouldn’t have let him survive six years in their prison. Perhaps when they exchanged him in the spy swap they gave him a wink and said: “Since you’re just a money-grubbing whore, any time you want to come back with some interesting stuff learned from working for MI6, let us know and we’ll discuss the price.” He soon got to learn that interesting stuff when he was sent to Salisbury, the home town of his MI6 recruiter and handler, Pablo Miller. Miller had recruited him in Spain in 1995 and later handled him from Estonia, when he was posted there as a diplomat. It is a little too much to believe Skripal’s move to Salisbury was a coincidence. The two men became friends again, met regularly in the pub, and there is every reason to think Miller resumed his role as handler. Miller was now working for Christopher Steele, his old boss at MI6, in his private intelligence firm, Orbis Business Intelligence, based in Mayfair. This is one of the private intelligence-gathering outfits run by ex-spies of the kind Litvinenko used to work for. Just as Litvinenko got Lugovoy (his accused assassin) to help him out with due diligence reports on Russian businessmen because of his more up-to-date information, so Miller would have used Skripal in the same way. His help became vital when Steele got the commission from the Democratic Party to dig up Russian dirt on Donald Trump, and they had to invent some GRU set-up of the Donald with prostitutes in a Moscow hotel. Miller, the old Russia hand, would have done a good part of the work on this dossier and would have needed all the authentic detail his Russian agent could provide. Perhaps it was Skripal who came up with the scenario of Trump getting prostitutes to urinate on the bed the Obamas had slept in, which hidden cameras filmed. He must at least have given it his imprimatur as a typical GRU blackmail ploy to turn somebody into an asset. And that obscene fiction, the core of the Steele Dossier, became the basis of the neo-con legend that Trump was a Russian stooge — the insane underpinning of the whole mad Mueller probe into “Russian collusion”….

Western Intelligence Services – terrorism. Operation Gladio BBC documentary. Operation Gladio The Ring Masters Cold War – BBC Timewatch (1/3) 1992 This 3-part series exposes the clandestine ‘stay-behind’ operation sponsored by the CIA and NATO to counter communist influence after World War II in Italy, as well as in other European countries. The Gladio network of operatives is alleged to have been involved in various acts of terrorism, trying to influence policies through the means of ‘false flag’ operations. An interesting peek inside how these spook agencies or the ‘Deep State’ operates, and very relevant information for the current political climate if you can wade through all the subtitles! ”Operation Gladio was the codename for clandestine “stay-behind” operations of armed resistance that were organized by the Western Union (WU), and subsequently by NATO and the CIA, in collaboration with several European intelligence agencies during the Cold War. The operation was designed for a potential Warsaw Pact invasion and conquest of Europe. Although Gladio specifically refers to the Italian branch of the NATO stay-behind organizations, “Operation Gladio” is used as an informal name for all of them. Stay-behind operations were prepared in many NATO member countries, and some neutral countries. During the Cold War, anti-communist armed groups engaged in attacks on left-wing parties with torture, terrorist attacks, and massacres in countries such as Italy. The role of the CIA and other intelligence organisations in Gladio—the extent of its activities during the Cold War era and any responsibility for terrorist attacks perpetrated in Italy during the “Years of Lead” (late 1960s–early 1980s)—is the subject of debate. The US State Department published a communiqué in January 2006 that stated claims the United States ordered, supported, or authorized terrorism by stay-behind units, and US-sponsored “false flag” operations are rehashed former Soviet disinformation based on documents that the Soviets forged. The word gladio is the Italian form of gladius, a type of Roman shortsword.”

Putin speech in India. India Today World Exclusive: Russian President Vladimir Putin’s Biggest & 1st Interview On Indian TV – In an exclusive interview with India Today, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed global geopolitics, stating “India is a major global player, not a British colony.” He praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a “reliable person” who doesn’t succumb to pressure. Putin discussed the Ukraine war, asserting “Kiev is the mother of all Russian cities” and claiming Russia was forced to support eastern Ukraine. He also commented on U.S. relations, revealing details of a five-hour meeting with Donald Trump’s envoys and acknowledging American companies’ desire to resume cooperation. Regarding the economy, Putin confirmed that over 90% of Russia-India transactions are in national currencies and clarified that a single BRICS currency is not an immediate goal. The discussion also covered future collaborations in high technology and the Gaza conflict, with Putin advocating for an independent Palestinian state.

The army’s Ajax fighting vehicle injured troops and cost billions – there must be accountability Ajax vehicles have been proclaimed as ‘world class’, but they have have left British soldiers in hospital and problems identified over several years seem to have persisted. Ministers will want answers. The army’s £10m Ajax fighting vehicle was not an accident waiting to happen – but one that was already unfolding even as a defence minister declared it to be safe. Luke Pollard, the minister responsible for procurement, asked for and was given in writing “senior assurances” that previous problems with noise and vibration had been resolved before he announced on 6 November that it was ready for use. He also said other countries might be interested in buying what the UK government has billed as “the world’s most advanced medium-weight armoured fighting vehicle”. Yet, barely a fortnight later, 31 troops suffered sickness and hearing issues after being deployed on the Ajax vehicles during war games on Salisbury Plain. Also – just weeks before Mr Pollard made his announcement at a factory in Merthyr Tydfil, where the American defence company General Dynamics is manufacturing the machines – yet more soldiers had become unwell and even had to go to hospital after their time inside the vehicles. The procurement minister and his boss, John Healey, the defence secretary, will surely be demanding answers from General Sir Roly Walker, the head of the army, as well as civil servants at the Ministry of Defence’s (MoD) procurement arm – Defence Equipment and Support – and General Dynamics. Ministers must be perplexed as to how this could possibly be happening again. A litany of woes affecting the £5.5bn Ajax contract has been well documented by several inquiries. They were triggered when previous trials of the vehicle were belatedly halted in 2020 after troops were harmed by excessive noise and vibration. An investigation into that debacle found that senior officers had failed to act despite knowing for up to two years that the Ajax vehicle put soldiers at risk of harm. The health and safety report called the failure “complex and systemic” and said a culture existed of not treating safety as being equally important to cost and time. A safety investigation is being carried out. But when a previous bout of hearing and sickness injuries during Ajax trials over the summer emerged, the MoD justified pushing on with declaring the vehicle to be operational because no “systemic” problem had been found.

Ajax is a British version of the Spanish ASCOD from the 90s as you probably know. It’s a decent vehicle but since we’ve gotten hold of it, it seems to be plagued with issues. CV90 would have had plenty of its own if they followed the same procurement pattern they have with Ajax. Maybe not permanently injuring people which I will concede but every single bit of kit we field has endless issues: SA80; Eurofighter; Merlin; Milan; PLCE; F35; The Aircraft Carriers; Challenger 1 and 2 tanks; Bowman Radio; Sabre; There’s literally loads. Because we never buy kit off the shelf that’s proven. Look at the new rifle. 2 options: Beretta and Sako building AR platforms. The HK416 is widely used and accepted as a decent reliable AR platform. Is mass produced and available immediately. The Colt Canada (Diemaco) C8 is revered by British special ops units and is widely respected. Avaialable off the shelf. Sig Mcx is available and widely proven and trusted. What do we do? Buy The Knights Rifle for the marines (which isn’t as good as first thought) and field two weapon systems for testing from makers who have never made an AR platform. Another example is the 14? Chinook HC.3s that the M.O.D ordered and wanted to put a different cockpit in instead of the original one fitted. They sat in Boscombe Down for years before the situation was resolved with yet another cockpit version fitted just to get them usable. RB44 comes to mind as well. Absolutely bonkers. It’s so British. Endless pits of wasted money and fallout. Mr Wallace criticised RAF bosses who he accused of attempting to sabotage efforts to reduce the number of aircraft being bought due to worries about cost. Ministers had cut the number of E-7 Wedgetail airborne early warning aircraft on order from five to three due to a lack of funds. The £760million plane was due to cost the British taxpayer in excess of £2billion, as Britain tried to follow other NATO allies in reducing the number of airframes they would purchase. Mr Wallace added: “I was smart to all their tricks… and caught some of them at it, but I didn’t always catch them. “I discovered on orders that while [the RAF] didn’t buy five E-7 Wedgetail aircraft, they bought five radars, two of which are still stuck in sheds now.” A white middle aged man Luke Pollard was understood to have been left “furious” over information being withheld from him (Image: Ben Whitley/PA Wire) The claims come in the week that it was revealed that Defence Minister Luke Pollard was not made aware of concerns surrounding the Ajax platform prior to signing the armoured vehicle off for use by soldiers. Mr Pollard told reporters in Merthyr Tydfil on November 5: “Ajax has overcome significant challenges, but importantly, we can say it has left its troubles behind. “Ajax has proved itself in the field to be the most advanced medium-weight armoured fighting vehicle on the planet, and we have more than a full squadron ready to go, ready to fight, ready to win, with more in the pipeline.” Mr Pollard is understood to have had written assurances from senior officers overseeing the project but was forced to issue a “do not use” order across the Army following dozens of injures to soldiers, three of whom are now at risk of being medically discharged from the forces.

Is Israel behind the US proxy control of Pakistan military dictatorship because they have ‘Muslim Nuclear Weapons? Imran Khan being treated badly in prison – Sky. Advisor denies jailed former Pakistan leader Imran Khan’s human rights are being violated Sky News An advisor to Pakistan’s government has rejected suggestions the country’s former prime minister is being mistreated in prison. Imran Khan was handed a three-year jail term in August 2023 for illegally selling state gifts – allegations his supporters say were politically motivated. Mr Khan’s sister told Sky News his family had not been allowed to see him for several weeks, and he was being held in solitary confinement. However, in heated exchanges with Sky’s Yalda Hakim, Ahmed Hassan Al-Arabi insisted Mr Khan’s human rights were being respected. Imran Khan is suffering from isolation after weeks of being denied access to relatives, his family have said. Khan has been in jail since his August 2023 arrest after he was handed a three-year prison term for illegally selling state gifts. Now two of his three sisters have spoken out about the former Pakistani prime minister’s plight. Uzma Khanum was the only family member permitted to meet him in Adiala jail, Rawalpindi, where supporters of his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party had gathered to protest against the conditions of the 73-year-old’s detention. Ms Khanum said that Khan, a former cricketer, is facing isolation and psychological strain in prison following weeks in which his family said access had been blocked. “He’s physically well,” said Ms Khanum. “But he’s kept inside all the time, and only goes out for a short while. There’s no contact with anybody.” The meeting took place under strict supervision, said Ms Khanum, though she declined to provide further details. PTI says routine prison visits have been blocked for weeks despite court orders, fuelling rumours about his condition and possible prison transfers. ‘Suppressing the people’ One of Khan’s other sisters Aleema Khan told The World with Yalda Hakim that she believes Pakistani authorities were isolating him as an attempt to “suppress the people of Pakistan”. “I think they are operating out of fear. He represents 90% of this country. How can you put a person who represents 90% of the country in jail? “They basically want to suppress the people of Pakistan. They don’t want their voice to be heard and they are standing behind Imran Khan. They thought if they isolated [him] people will forget him.” Authorities deny any mistreatment, and say that Khan is receiving all entitlements available to prisoners. Ahmed Hassan Al-Arabi, an advisor to Pakistan’s Ministry of Information, told Sky News: “The jails are there as a punishment. They are there for the criminals to stop the evil from the criminals emanating into the society. “If it has to become a political hub, there is no point of jail. Imran Khan’s sisters have been given access [to him]. “There is no distinction between politicians and Imran Khan’s family members, unfortunately”. Khan served as prime minister from 2018 to 2022. He has claimed that the charges against him are politically motivated – and aimed at blocking his political career. Khan’s wife, Bushra Bibi, is serving time in the same prison over corruption, but they are not allowed to see each other except when they appear in court, his supporters have said.

Has a Satanic conspiracy to dominate the world, at Armageddon, been leaked over the decades, in plain sight? David Livingstone on Helena Blavatsky’s Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. Zionism and Freemasonry. It was from these same circles—intersecting with the Theosophical Society, and Saint-Yves d’Alveydre’s main disciple, Papus—from which emerged the first example of the notorious The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, purporting to detail a Jewish and Masonic plot for global domination. The Protocols were first published in Russian, in 1905, by Sergei Nilus, a pious extremist of the Russian Orthodox Church, and were reportedly the product of a secret meeting of leaders at the First Zionist Congress, the inaugural congress of the World Zionist Organization (WZO), held in Basel on August 29–31, 1897, and convened by Theodor Herzl. According to his biographer Peter Grose, Allen Dulles, the future head of the CIA, who was in Constantinople at the time, discovered “the source” of the forgery which he then provided to The Times. In the first article of Peter Graves’ series, titled “A Literary Forgery,” the editors of The Times claimed to have proven that the Protocols were plagiarized from the work of Maurice Joly, The Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu. Joly, however, has been reported to having been a Jew and a protégé of Adolphe Crémieux, founder of the Alliance Israélite Universelle, and Grand Master of the Masonic Rite of Misraïm and Grand Commander of the Supreme Council of France, responsible for managing the high degrees of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite within the Grand Orient of France. According to Norman Cohn’s analysis of the text, in Warrant for Genocide: In all, over 160 passages in the Protocols, totaling two fifths of the entire text, are clearly based on passages in Joly; in nine of the chapters the borrowings amount to more than half of the text, in some they amount to three quarters, in one (Protocol VII) to almost the entire text. Moreover with less than a dozen exceptions the order of the borrowed passages remains the same as it was in Joly, as though the adaptor had worked through the Dialogue mechanically, page by page copying straight into his ‘protocols’ as he proceeded. Even the arrangement in chapters is much the same – the twenty-four chapters of the Protocols corresponding roughly with the twenty-five of the Dialogue. Only towards the end, where the prophecy of the Messianic Age predominates, does the adaptor allow himself any real independence of his model. It is in fact as clear a case of plagiarism – and of faking – as one could well desire. In 1884, according to Victor Marsden, who produced the first English translation, a woman named Yuliana Glinka, a disciple of H.P. Blavatsky, hired Joseph Schorst-Shapiro, a member of Joly’s Misraïm Lodge, to obtain sensitive information, and purchased from him a copy of the Protocols, and subsequently gave them to a friend who passed them on to Sergei Nilus.[19] The Protocols were first mentioned in the Russian press in April 1902 by the Saint Petersburg newspaper Novoye Vremya, written by a famous conservative publicist Mikhail Menshikov, who reported “how the lady of fashion [Glinka] had invited him to her house to see the document of vast importance. Seated in an elegant apartment and speaking perfect French, the lady informed him that she was in direct contact with the world beyond the grave and proceeded to induct him into the mysteries of Theosophy… Finally, she initiated him into the mysteries of the Protocols.”

Occult Job Swap: Former Bilderberger, Rhodes scholar and Deputy Canadian PM Chrystia Freeland will move to U.K. for new job at prestigious Rhodes Trust The charity is famous for its prestigious Rhodes Scholarship, which offers students from around the world the chance to study at Oxford university. OTTAWA – Liberal MP Chrystia Freeland will move to Oxford, England, to take on a new position next summer administering the Rhodes Trust, the educational charity confirmed Thursday. The charity is famous for its prestigious Rhodes Scholarship, which offers students from around the world the chance to study at the University of Oxford. It announced Wednesday evening that Freeland has been appointed CEO of the Rhodes Trust and Warden of Rhodes House, a building on the university’s campus, starting July 1, 2026. Spokesperson Babette Littlemore confirmed by phone Freeland will move to Oxford for the role. But Freeland herself has not announced plans to resign as a member of Parliament. Freeland’s office did not respond to calls or emails Thursday. Her local Liberal riding association for University—Rosedale did not have information related to her new role, presumed departure or preparations for an eventual candidate nomination race for a byelection. Neither the Prime Minister’s Office nor the House of Commons Speaker’s office had further information. The Rhodes Trust press release that announced her appointment includes a quote from Freeland saying she’s honoured to take on the role with her alma mater. “Having personally benefited from a Rhodes Scholarship, I know how deeply transformative and influential it can be on the lives and futures of our scholars. The experience helped shape my international outlook and played a defining role in guiding my subsequent career,” she said. Freeland earned a degree in Slavonic Studies at the University of Oxford in the early 1990s. The former finance minister and deputy prime minister was in the running for the Liberal party leadership earlier this year and ran a scrappy campaign that positioned her early on as the candidate who would bring the most aggressive fight to U.S. President Donald Trump in his trade war against Canada. She ultimately lost to Mark Carney, who became prime minister in March. Freeland served dual roles in Carney’s cabinet as internal trade minister and transport minister, and led a push to reduce internal trade barriers in Canada. She abruptly stepped down from cabinet in September to take on a special role representing the Carney government on matters dealing with the reconstruction of Ukraine. Freeland developed a reputation as one of the staunchest defenders of Ukraine in its war against Russia, and led an international push to seize Russian assets for the purpose of rebuilding Ukraine… Chrystia Freeland  takes job Former Deputy Prime Minister of Canada Chrystia Freeland Appointed as Next Warden and CEO of the Rhodes Trust 

Brussels in shock as ex-EU diplomat Mogherini arrested in tender-rigging probe  –  Dawn raids on the EU diplomatic service and the College of Europe deepen fears that corruption has reached the highest levels of the bloc’s foreign-policy machinery  Former EU foreign policy chief arrested in latest scandal to hit the bloc BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union’s former foreign policy chief faces corruption accusations alongside two other people arrested this week as part of a fraud investigation, prosecutors said Wednesday, in the latest scandal to hit the 27-nation bloc. The arrest of Federica Mogherini, who led the EU foreign service from 2014 to 2019, risked tarnishing the EU’s international image just as it seeks to assert influence in negotiations aimed at ending the war in Ukraine. The EU has been urging Ukraine to tackle rampant corruption. Authorities in Belgium made the arrests Tuesday after raiding the offices of the EU diplomatic service in Brussels and a college in Bruges. Mogherini now serves as the rector of the College of Europe, a prestigious institute of European studies. The European Public Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement that Mogherini, a senior staff member of the college and a senior official from the European Commission were detained at its request and questioned by the Belgian Federal Judicial Police. “The accusations concern procurement fraud and corruption, conflict of interest and violation of professional secrecy,” the prosecutor’s office said. The three were not considered flight risks and were released, the office said. As the bloc’s top diplomat, Mogherini was responsible for supervising the Iran nuclear talks, leading efforts to improve long-strained relations between Serbia and Kosovo, and a host of other foreign policy and security issues. Police searched the properties of the suspects, several buildings of the college and the headquarters of the European External Action Service, or EEAS, the EU’s equivalent of a foreign office, which sits at the center of the bloc’s institutions in Brussels, the prosecutors said. No outside actor, or country, has been named so far in the investigation. Mogherini said in a statement that she “clarified” her position with investigators on Tuesday.

NOT The BCfm Politics Show CANCELLED and attempts to intimidate us

July 2024 – Tony, Dave and Martin’s NOT The BCfm Politics show was CANCELLED/EVICTED in a no fault, no notice, no appeal, eviction by The People’s Republic of Stokes Croft (PRSC) arts centre – An email from Chloe Slater and Keith Cowling explained that: ‘Transphobic’ leaflets had been left in the building by a recent guest (who denied it) making Transsexual users of the building feel ‘offended’ and ‘unsafe’. To quote: ‘Please let us know when you or Dave would like to come and retrieve your equipment and drop off your keys. Kind regards’ PRSC Directors (Keith Cowling, chair) PRSC / Stokes Croft China 17-35 Jamaica St Bristol BS2 8JP. Chloe Slater (formerly Jez and self-defined as ‘she’) also made it difficult for us to retrieve the last of our equipment by inferring we couldn’t be trusted, we were made to wait outside their building for over 30 minutes to return their mixing desk in December 2024. 

[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? Just search for “John Scarlett” and “Dodgy Dossier” and you’ll see what I mean. The Zionists are every bit as fundamentalist and twisted as the leaders and followers of ISIS.

March 2020 – BCfm’s weekly Politics Show presented by Tony Gosling with Irish Republican Labour activist Martin Summers was forced off FM, now online only by station manager Pat Hart. He decided the show should be ‘rested, due to the pandemic’ on 24 March 2020 and then refused to communicate at all when we requested to do the show remotely. Bristol Community FM (BCfm) charity ‘CEO’ Patrick Hart is a longtime personal friend of Bristol’s all-powerful right-wing ‘Labour’ mayor Marvin Rees. Now on Internet only NOT The BCfm Politics Show is available 17:00-c. 21:00 live on Fridays. Pat Hart replaced us with an inane student show repeating MSM stories called The Bristol Agenda. If you’d like to share your views on his deliberate dumbing-down and pro-Covid jab mismanagement you can contact UK broadcasting regulator Ofcom or BCfm board chair and the ‘Don’ himself, here.
