War on Iran causing depression. Anti-depressant and anti-psychotic drugs causing brain-death and addiction. Wouldn’t a chat with a vicar be better? Addressing the cause rather than the symptoms? Open Dialogue approach to psychiatric care is extended after a trial goes well – BBC report on this. This means mandatory damaging psychiatric drugs given when admitted to secure units could be stopped. The ODDESSI trial ODDESSI (Open Dialogue: Development and Evaluation of a Social Network Intervention for Severe Mental Illness) is a large-scale programme of research into crisis and continuing mental health care within the NHS. This programme is directed by Professor Stephen Pilling (UCL), funded by the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) and managed by North East London NHS Foundation Trust (NELFT) and includes Open Dialogue and research teams in five NHS Trust research sites: ODDESSI aims to transform the current model of health care for patients with major mental health problems. The research asks several questions: Can we develop a way to offer Open Dialogue in the NHS that is acceptable to staff (including peers) and service-users? Does it fit in with how existing NHS services operate? Does offering Open Dialogue result in good clinical outcomes, and is it worth the money? What is the experience of service users, carers, and staff? Within the programme there are smaller projects focusing on: How NHS mental health services are configured, and how they change Mental health services and referral pathways in different Trusts Peers and their role within Open Dialogue teams Training people to deliver Open Dialogue Whether it would be possible to compare Open Dialogue to treatment-as-usual in a large multi-centre trial (the feasibility trial) The health economics of Open Dialogue and of treatment-as-usual Comparing Open Dialogue with NHS usual care: The trial The ODDESSI trial is working with participants receiving Open Dialogue or usual care to look at which approach is most helpful. We are also looking at whether a sense of shared decision making is important in recovery, and a person’s relationships, and what the experiences of carers and staff have been. The first participant was recruited in June 2019, and the final participants in August 2021. We follow up participants for two years with research interviews and by collecting information from their electronic records. Here Professor Stephen Pilling and Dr Russell Razzaque present an overview of the ODDESSI research programme and trial protocol. Capturing the experiences of carers in the trial As part of the trial, we aim to recruit a 20% subsample of carers, friends, family or individuals supporting the trial participants. The ODDESSI research team in Devon spoke with some of the carers that had been recruited about their experiences on the ODDESSI trial. Some of the quotes can be seen below.

Talk TV, Hartley-Brewer – Sir Richard Dalton, former UK ambassador to Iran, on the unnecessary and damaging war on Iran. Wars cooked up in Chatham House and RUSI? Ukraine’s moving borders over time. Talk TV: “You’re Telling LIES!” | Presenter ENDS Interview After EXPLOSIVE Row With Ex-UK Ambassador To Iran Julia Hartley-Brewer The longer the war in the Middle East continues, the more likely it is there will be economic damage in the UK, Sir Keir Starmer has warned. The Prime Minister insisted the economy was resilient and well placed to absorb the “likely impact” on households and businesses. He acknowledged people’s concerns about the threat of rising bills in the wake of the US-Israeli assault on Iran and Tehran’s reprisals against countries across the region. Oil prices have soared above 100 dollars a barrel for the first time since 2022 in response to the crisis. Julia Hartley-Brewer ends her interview with Sir Richard Dalton after he brings up “genocide in Gaza”. “I’m embarrassed that a former British ambassador could claim there was genocide in Gaza! That’s absolute nonsense!”

Dr. Neil Melvin, RUSI – what is Trump’s end game? Iran closing of Straits of Hormuz to US interests. US convoy to Straits of Hormuz? Neil Melvin – convoy won’t work. Why Trump’s Iran Strikes Are A Legal And Political Nightmare For Starmer – Occupying The Middle Ground In Europe But as RUSI’s international security director, Neil Melvin, pointed out, the US’s attacks have exposed the limits of international law and a lack of enforcement – and Europe’s difficult position. “Many have said Iran has been allowed to hide behind international law for many decades, and engage in terrorism against the United States and its allies,” Melvin said. “So therefore it’s a slightly strange position that the Europeans have adopted – that they often seem to be upholding more the rights of regimes which are repressing their populations and conducting terrorism. “So now we’ve seen the Europeans having to shift.” He said Trump’s action has revealed inconsistency within Europe’s position, as Spain continues to call the strikes an illegal act, and have even asked the US forces to leave their bases in Spain. But Germany “has come out quite firmly supporting President Trump while not necessarily agreeing with the legality of this”. Meanwhile, Starmer is somewhere in between. Melvin said: “The UK has been struggling to occupy a middle ground, so the longer this conflict goes on, the more these difficulties and contradictions in the European position, I think, are going to be exposed.” The pressure is on for Starmer to hold onto the course he has set out on – no matter how convoluted it may be. Legal Questions Loom There could be further danger ahead for Starmer over his attempts to avoid falling into legal trouble over the strikes, too. Dr Aurel Sari, international law expert from the University of Exeter, suggested Starmer’s legal defence “rests on a crucial distinction between offensive and defensive military action”. “Iran, responding to the US-Israeli assault, exercised its own right of self-defence, a right it was entitled to invoke under the UN Charter given the scale of the attack on it,” he said. “However, Iran’s strikes have not been limited to military targets, but also hit civilian infrastructure, including international airports, hotels and residential areas across the Gulf.” Iran has launched missiles and drone attacks against targets in Israel, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Iraq since Saturday. There are around 300,000 British citizens in the Gulf region. Sari continued: “Because those attacks on civilian targets served no genuine defensive purpose, they exceeded what international law permits in self-defence. “The government argues that this, together with Iranian drone strikes against RAF Akrotiri, entitles the UK to use force against Iran in the exercise of the right of individual and collective self-defence.” However, Sari said this position is “highly precarious in practice”, because US military operations “do not neatly separate offensive from defensive activities”. The same military bases operate both personnel and intelligence systems. He warned: “If British bases inadvertently support the broader US-Israeli campaign to destroy Iran’s military and change its government, the UK’s carefully constructed legal position collapses. “While the government has drawn a clear legal line, it may lack the ability to hold it.”

RAF Fairford – US B1 bombers. Satellites for targeting. Ministry of Defence will not say how many Iranian civilians killed by ‘defensive’ US strikes from UK bases, as questions grow about Starmer’s stance Britain’s Ministry of Defence (MoD) is refusing to tell the media or parliament how many Iranian civilians have been killed by US bombing missions from British air bases. Officials are also not commenting on whether target lists for so-called “defensive” US strikes from British soil are approved by the UK before each mission, or if they are audited afterwards. Further questions about whether the US uses artificial intelligence to compile these target lists, or whether it is allowed to load banned cluster bombs at UK bases, were rebuffed. The silence casts serious doubt on Keir Starmer’s claim that Britain is not involved in the war and is only letting Donald Trump use British bases for a “specific, limited defensive purpose”. The prime minister said US strikes from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire and the British-occupied Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia were “to destroy [Iran’s] missiles at source, in their storage depots or at their launchers.” When asked a series of simple questions about how Britain would monitor or enforce the target lists, the MoD and Attorney General’s Office refused to answer directly or make ministers available for an interview with Declassified. An MoD spokesperson said: “We won’t be providing a running commentary on our allies’ operations, including their use of our bases. “The United States has started using British bases for specific defensive operations to prevent Iran firing missiles into the region, which is putting British lives at risk.” This new goal of preventing Iran “firing missiles into the region” seems much broader than what is permitted by the government’s own legal advice. A summary of that position said the US should only use UK bases to “facilitate specific and limited defensive action against missile facilities in Iran which were involved in launching strikes at regional allies.” It is unclear how the UK can distinguish between missile stockpiles which Iran may need to lawfully retaliate against the US and Israel’s illegal attack, and those weapons that might be fired at civilian sites in the Gulf. Even in cases such as attacks on hotels in Bahrain, it has sometimes emerged that US troops were stationed inside. Professor Marc Weller, a former UN legal advisor, has said “it may not be realistic or practical to determine in each instance which Iranian missile facilities have targeted regional allies or, more to the point, which will do so in the future. Presumably some have been used to attack both Israel and US forces, and regional states. “Iran will certainly not be persuaded by this distinction. Its authorities will not be able to tell which US strikes launched from UK bases aim to protect UK regional allies, and which are part of the US’s overall aggressive campaign to subdue its government.”

Jacob Rees Mogg showing how Starmer knew that Mandelson hung out with Epstein. Farage thought Mandelson right for the job. Mandelson files: It’s difficult to see how Starmer can put this right Sir Keir Starmer promised to clean up politics, and yet he finds himself in the centre of one of the biggest political scandals this century. ‘Dark day for PM’ as first Mandelson files released Jonathan Powell thought the process was “unusual” and “weirdly rushed”. We already knew, because the PM admitted it in the House of Commons, that Sir Keir Starmer was aware of an “ongoing relationship” between Lord Mandelson and the paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein. But to see in black and white the red flags being raised in a two-page due diligence report put together by the cabinet office was damning for the PM. Because it confirms that the PM was told the relationship between the pair was “particularly close” and continued well after Epstein was “first convicted of procuring an underage girl in 2008” for sex. It was flagged to Sir Keir that “Mandelson reportedly stayed in Epstein’s house while he was in jail in June 2009” and noted there was “general reputational risk” over his relationship with Epstein. It warned the PM that a political appointment – Lord Mandelson – rather than a diplomatic one was more risky: “If anything goes wrong, you could be more exposed as the individual is more connected to you personally.” The Mandelson files also revealed that Mr Powell, one of Sir Keir’s most trusted advisers, found Lord Mandelson’s appointment in December 2024 was “weirdly rushed” and that he had been “particularly cautious about the appointment”. Minutes of a call in September 2025 show that Mr Powell had “raised concerns about the individual and reputation” to Morgan McSweeney, the PM’s then chief of staff, and adds: “MM responded that the issues had been addressed.” Sir Philip Barton, the Foreign Office’s top civil servant at the time of Lord Mandelson’s appointment, “also had reservations”, according to Mr Powell. That the report was only two pages long and didn’t investigate more robustly Lord Mandelson’s relationship with Epstein, raises obvious questions.

CNBC – Epstein Files – redacted part where a 14 year old girl makes claims against Trump. Used for blackmail?  13-Year-Old Trump Accuser Has Key Details of Her Story Verified The story appeared in an FBI interview in the Epstein files. A woman who says Donald Trump abused her when she was 13 years old in 1984 shared information about her life that turned out to be true. While her story about Trump is still unproven, The Post and Courier, a newspaper in Charleston, South Carolina, was able to corroborate details of her life provided in recent releases from the federal government’s Jeffrey Epstein archives. The woman was interviewed four times by the FBI in 2019, detailing abuse she faced at the hands of Trump and Epstein. She gave details about her life and legal history that the newspaper was able to verify using news reports, court records, police reports, and government records from multiple states. None of the confirmed details are directly related to her allegations against Trump. In her interviews with the FBI, she describes Epstein’s activities in the mid-1980s on Hilton Head Island in South Carolina, where the financier sexually assaulted minors. She said that Epstein constantly pressured her to find more girls to “come party,” describing his friends as “disgusting.” These so-called parties usually involved alcohol and drugs, and would turn violent with beatings and hair pulling. She said that Trump forced her to commit a sexual act on him around 1984 after she traveled to New York or New Jersey with Epstein. She detailed that one incident took place while Trump was developing a casino in Atlantic City. She was led to Trump in a “very tall building with huge rooms.” Trump allegedly told others to leave the room, and told her, “Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be,” before unzipping his pants and forcing her to perform a sex act. She told the FBI that she “bit the (expletive) out of it,” which angered Trump, who slapped her and cursed. A friend of the woman also reported her allegations about Trump to the FBI, asking that her friend be protected, according to an email circulated around the bureau that the Justice Department made public. The woman herself named business associates of Epstein in North Carolina who also abused her, and the newspaper was able to identify some of them. In a statement to the newspaper, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the woman’s allegations were “baseless accusations from decades ago’’ that “are backed by zero evidence or facts. Leavitt described the accuser as “a sadly disturbed woman who has an extensive criminal history.” But Trump has sought to diminish and bury every Epstein revelation that paints him in a negative light, and his critics will point to this woman’s account as one of the reasons why.

Jeffrey Epstein had two key aides – why do they still control his money and secrets? Jeffrey Epstein appointed two men to be executors of his estate – his accountant Richard Kahn and lawyer Darren Indyke When the FBI raided Jeffrey Epstein’s New York mansion in July 2019, on the day he was arrested for child sex trafficking, agents forced open a large safe to find diamonds, bundles of cash, passports, binders of CDs and hard drives. But an issue with the warrant meant they could not leave with the items. And when they returned with a new one, the safe had been emptied while they were gone – according to FBI documents. Richard Kahn, Epstein’s accountant and bookkeeper since 2005, had told the mansion’s staff to pack two suitcases with the contents of the safe and deliver them to his home, agents wrote. After the FBI spoke to Kahn’s then lawyer, Kahn agreed to hand over the suitcases untouched, but he did not want agents coming to his house and declined to say who had told him to remove the items. However, a source close to the investigation into Epstein told us that he was not aware of Kahn ever being interviewed or investigated in relation to the paedophile financier’s criminal investigation. Kahn’s current lawyer told BBC News that his client had fully co-operated with the FBI’s requests. Kahn asked staff at Epstein’s New York mansion to remove items from a safe, according to the FBI Kahn, and Epstein’s long-serving lawyer Darren Indyke, are the sole executors of Epstein’s estate, controlling all his wealth and possessions. Although hardly household names, the pair now hold control over compensation owed to survivors and the secrets contained in the documents still held by the Epstein estate – which, upon request, have been released to the House Oversight Committee. As part of its investigation into Epstein’s network, the congressional committee has subpoenaed – summoned – the pair to testify. Kahn is appearing on Wednesday 11 March, while Indyke is due to testify on Thursday 19 March. We have spoken to people associated with investigations linked to Epstein, looked through papers from multiple court cases, and analysed the most recent material released in the Epstein files by the US Department of Justice – to try to uncover more about the role the two men are alleged to have played in Epstein’s life and continue to play after his death. Epstein appointed Indyke and Kahn as co-executors in August 2019, just two days before he died in jail awaiting trial for sex-trafficking minors. He revised his will to transfer all his wealth into a trust named after the year of his birth, which the lawyer and accountant would administer. In their role as executors, Indyke and Kahn have agreed compensation packages paid to survivors and included conditions that prevented survivors who accepted funds from taking further legal action against them personally. Other claims are still outstanding. As beneficiaries of the trust, the men could also be paid tens of millions of dollars each from whatever remains when the claims are settled. Court filings claim that, either Indyke and Kahn – but often both of them – “had signatory authority over virtually all of the accounts held by Epstein”, which meant they were authorised to make transactions. They also helped to run multiple Epstein corporations – some of which, it is alleged in court filings, existed solely for the purpose of his sex-trafficking operation. Kahn’s lawyer told us “there is no basis for such claims” and that Epstein’s businesses didn’t operate to shield his activities; “virtually all of them were tax-filing entities whose ownership was never hidden”.

Sabine Mc Neill, who was imprisoned for 4 years after she thought she had uncovered a child abuse ring, still thinks she was right. Wealthy parents accused of starting sex cult with kids in wild conspiracy theory The conspiracy theory surrounding the cult wasn’t conjured up on some dark corner of the internet, but rather by a middle-class mother whose children attended the school in Hampstead, north-west London Ella Draper, who ‘tortured’ her two young children into making false claims that their father was the leader of a Satanic sex abuse cult Parents and teachers from a wealthy area in west London were accused of running a Satanist sex cult with children and drinking their blood in a wild conspiracy theory, it has been revealed in a podcast. The names, numbers and addresses of those who allegedly sexually abused and killed children before drinking their blood were published online alongside the vile accusations for all to see. It didn’t take long for those accusations surrounding the ‘cult’ allegedly based at Christchurch Primary School in Hampstead, north-west London, to attract attention from online conspiracy theorists. The accusations even saw dozens of angry protesters travel to the primary school, shouting “paedophile” and “murderers” at teachers and parents, the Star reports. The conspiracy theory wasn’t conjured up on some dark corner of the internet, but rather by a middle-class mother whose children attended the school. In 2014 Ella Draper, now 49, was embroiled in an ugly custody battle with her second husband. In July that year, Ella and her new man Abraham Christie claimed the children had made a series of horrifying allegations regarding their father, other parents and teachers from the school. In interviews to the police, the children detailed a Satanic paedophile ring, tales of murdered babies and dark sacrifices. However, there was no evidence of the cult and in September 2014 the children told police they’d been pressured by Ella and Abraham to make the allegations. The investigation was closed. Then, Ella chose to represent herself in the family courts for the custody case, meaning she got access to evidence including videos of the children’s police interviews. She handed the evidence to Sabine McNeill, now 77, an informal legal advisor who had previously accused family courts of stealing hundreds of children away from their families. In January 2015, Sabine uploaded Ella’s confidential material – including the interviews and home videos of the children alleging satanic abuse – to the internet, with the mother’s blessing. She also published an 11-page document titled Mass Child Sex Abuse In Satanic Ritual Abuse And Sacrifice Cult, outlining allegations against 175 people alongside their personal details. Given that this happened during the ongoing custody case, police were sent to Ella’s house to get an explanation. Writing in the Daily Mail, podcast host Alexi explained: “After stalling, Ella ran into her back garden, climbed over the fence into the neighbouring property — and then over three more fences — to the street. “The next day she fled to Spain, with Abraham following a day later. She hasn’t been back to the UK since.”…

Beyond Epstein? Joan Coleman’s 2005 list of Child Ritual Abusers and their enablers in the UK? Alex Thomson gives a list of UK child sex abusers from the RAINS list (Ritual Abuse Information Network and Support) A Beacon for Survivors of Ritual Abuse The R.A.I.N.S. List, an acronym for Ritual Abuse Information Network & Support, is a significant resource in the fight against ritual abuse. Created by Dr. Joan Coleman, a renowned expert in the field, this list serves as a crucial tool for survivors, advocates, and mental health professionals. Let’s explore the importance of the R.A.I.N.S. List and its impact on the community. The Origins of the R.A.I.N.S. List Dr. Joan Coleman, who dedicated her career to understanding and addressing ritual abuse, established the R.A.I.N.S. List to provide a network of support for survivors. The list was designed to connect individuals with essential information, resources, and a community that understands their experiences1. Dr. Coleman’s work has been instrumental in shedding light on the dark and often hidden world of ritual abuse. The Significance of Ritual Abuse Ritual abuse involves systematic and organized abuse, often associated with religious, cultic, or spiritual practices. Survivors of ritual abuse face unique challenges, including physical, psychological, and emotional trauma. The manipulation and control exerted by abusers can leave lasting scars, making recovery a long and arduous journey. The Role of the R.A.I.N.S. List The R.A.I.N.S. List serves multiple purposes: Information Hub: It provides comprehensive information about ritual abuse, helping survivors and professionals understand the complexities of this form of abuse. Support Network: The list connects survivors with support groups and mental health professionals who specialize in ritual abuse, offering a sense of community and understanding. Advocacy and Awareness: By raising awareness about ritual abuse, the R.A.I.N.S. List plays a crucial role in advocating for survivors and pushing for societal and legal changes to protect vulnerable individuals2. The Impact on Survivors For many survivors, the R.A.I.N.S. List is a lifeline. It offers validation and support, helping them feel less isolated in their experiences. The list also empowers survivors by providing them with the tools and resources needed to navigate their recovery journey. Dr. Coleman’s compassionate approach and extensive knowledge have made a profound difference in the lives of many1. Moving Forward The legacy of Dr. Joan Coleman and the R.A.I.N.S. List continues to inspire and support those affected by ritual abuse. As awareness grows, it is essential to continue advocating for survivors and ensuring they have access to the resources and support they need. By fostering a community of understanding and resilience, we can help survivors reclaim their lives and move towards healing. In conclusion, the R.A.I.N.S. List is more than just a resource; it is a beacon of hope for those who have endured the unimaginable. Through continued support and advocacy, we can honor Dr. Coleman’s legacy and make a meaningful difference in the lives of survivors.. 

Sabine, who used to be part of monetary reform groups, gives her opinion on the likelihood of a banking collapse due to Iran war.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves takes on UK energy monopoly price fixing, profiteering or ‘gouging’ on how she’s going to deal with oil price rising. Energy companies ripping off consumers.  How latest rise in oil prices will affect cost of petrol and inflation Rising petrol, energy bills, food shop and mortgages- how the Iran war trickles down into your wallet As the Iran war continues to escalate, all eyes are on the price of oil as fears mount over a global energy crisis. Brent prices spiked earlier this week, reaching almost $120 per barrel, and are currently around 40 per cent higher than they were when the first strikes on Iran were launched by Israel and the US at the start of the month. In retaliation, Iran kept its stranglehold on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, the strategic waterway through which a fifth of the world’s oil transits on its way from the Persian Gulf to the open seas, crippling oil prices. So how does this affect you? Oil prices, benchmarked globally by Brent crude from the North Sea, fluctuate based on supply and demand. The longer that the price of oil is high, the more difficult it is to absorb those spikes, making it more likely people will feel the cost at home. Beyond higher heating bills, rising oil costs increase manufacturing and transport expenses, inflating the prices of food and most other goods and services. “You never know exactly the timeframe of this, but, in the worst case, this is a weeks, not a months thing,” US energy secretary Chris Wright said earlier this week. But the longer it goes on, the more likely it is that prices remain higher afterwards. Here is what will be affected by the ongoing conflict: Petrol Iran has cut its oil output drastically, now only producing a quarter of what it was before the first US strikes fell. “This is roughly 3 per cent of global oil supply lost in a single event. Shockingly, this is worse than the oil supply situation after Russia attacked Ukraine,” noted XTB research director Kathleen Brooks. Petrol prices in the UK have been rising since the conflict in the Middle East started, up between 4p and 8p to hit their highest in nearly 20 months. The RAC said diesel prices had risen by nearly 9 per cent since 28 February. Petrol prices were on average 6 per cent more across the same period. The government has said drivers can compare prices at different petrol stations across the UK through its fuel finder scheme, which has also been welcomed by the AA. The cost of heating oil has already doubled, which affects customers using home heating oil, as it is not covered by Ofgem’s energy price cap. Inflation and interest rates While we don’t know the figures just yet, we do know that if costs of energy, raw materials and labour go up, prices go up in response- this is inflation. If prices start to surge again, one of the key measures the Bank of England has to control inflation is to raise interest rates. “Markets are already pricing in the unwelcome return of uncomfortable levels of inflation, with bond yields rising significantly and investors eyeing the UK as particularly sensitive to an energy shock,” Danni Hewson, head of financial analysis at AJ Bell, said. “Preventing inflation from spiralling once again will be at the forefront of rate setters’ minds when they sit down to rewrite the Bank’s playbook next week. “The key consideration will be the duration of the conflict, and whether it ends decisively or if attacks on shipping and energy infrastructure continue beyond any declaration of victory by the US president.” Mortgages The interest rate going up means you pay more on the amount you’ve borrowed, if you don’t have a fixed deal. Some lenders have now raised their rates on new fixed-term mortgages. NatWest, TSB, HSBC, Nationwide, Santander, the Co-operative Bank and Skipton Building Society are among those to have done so in the past week or so. Typically, mortgage deals on the market don’t change in direct line with the Bank of England base rate, they move up and down in anticipation of what might happen in future – with the swap rates, as they are termed. Up until recently, mortgage prices had been headed downwards, but with this new threat to a possible rise in interest rates, swap rates have edged up.

Farage and Reform support the war. Farage criticising Starmer for sending HMS Dragon so late etc.

Trump on how he thinks war with Iran is going.

Can Iran beat Israel or will such a war inevitably ‘go nuclear’? Could Israel use nuclear weapons against Iran? The Samson option explained The Middle East has never seen nuclear weapons used. But Israel’s so-called Samson option could disrupt the most fragile deterrence balances in the world. Could Israel use nuclear weapons against Iran? Inside the Samson option The Shavit is a three-stage, solid-fueled rocket that was based on the design of the Jericho 2 ballistic missile. Escalating tensions between Israel and Iran have revived concerns about a scenario once considered almost unthinkable. The possible use of nuclear weapons in the Middle East. Although nuclear weapons have never been used in the region, the strategic concerns surrounding Israel’s undeclared nuclear arsenal and Iran’s nuclear ambitions have long been a central issue in regional security debates. Experts stress that the likelihood of nuclear use remains extremely low, largely because nuclear weapons function primarily as deterrents. Yet the existence of such weapons and the opacity surrounding them mean the possibility cannot be entirely dismissed, especially during periods of heightened conflict. According to a recent report by the South China Morning Post (SCMP), the renewed hostilities in the Middle East have once again drawn attention to Israel’s widely suspected nuclear arsenal and the risks associated with it. Alicia Sanders-Zakre, head of policy at the Geneva-based International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), noted that “it is widely acknowledged among experts that Israel is a nuclear-armed country, but this has never been formally acknowledged by Israel or by the United States.” She warned that the existence of such weapons itself poses dangers, adding that “as long as a country possesses a nuclear arsenal, there’s a risk that nuclear weapons might be used intentionally or accidentally.” Israel’s undeclared nuclear capability Israel has never officially acknowledged possessing nuclear weapons, maintaining a long-standing policy known as “nuclear ambiguity.” Under this approach, Israeli leaders neither confirm nor deny the existence of a nuclear arsenal, a strategy designed to deter adversaries without formally declaring nuclear status. According to the Nuclear Threat Initiative, Israel has likely possessed nuclear weapons since the late 1960s while continuing to avoid official confirmation. Independent research institutes estimate the size of Israel’s arsenal based on available intelligence and historical records. The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) estimates that Israel holds roughly 80 nuclear weapons, making it one of the smaller nuclear arsenals globally. Similarly, the Arms Control Association estimates Israel has about 90 nuclear warheads, with enough fissile material potentially available for around 200 more weapons. While details remain secret, analysts believe Israel’s nuclear forces are designed for multiple delivery methods. SIPRI assessments indicate that some warheads could be delivered by aircraft, while others are believed to be assigned to the Jericho series of ballistic missiles, which are capable of striking targets thousands of kilometers away.

Trump in Ohio with his latest update on war ‘going very well’. C4 News – Mohammed Marandi giving Iran’s point of view. Trump refers to Iran conflict as ‘a little excursion’ Donald Trump called the war in Iran an “excursion” that will keep the US “out of a war” during a visit to a facility in Cincinnati on Wednesday (11 March). It comes on the same day the president declared the US has “won” the war in Iran but needs to “finish the job,” claiming that the US destroyed Iran’s navy and air force in a matter of hours. As a reporter asked, “You just said it is a little excursion and often—you said it is a war. So which one is it?” the Republican replied: “Well, it’s both. It’s both. It’s an excursion that will keep us out of a war. And the war is going to be, I mean, for them, it’s a war, for us it’s turned out to be easier than we thought.”

Part Two – International news review, Accelerationist, Armageddonist reports and investigations

What’s wrong with mainstream media? Everyone’s got an angle. Peter Oborne on war in Iran – Farage supports war but may mean more boat people – Israel has loads of nuclear weapons and Iran has none. The British media think you’re an idiot. They are trying to convince you that a foreign war on behalf of Israel is in your interests. It’s time to expose the propagandists and the wararmongers. The first casualty of war is truth. They’re trying to tell you that this war is a defensive war. A blind man walking down the street can see that this is pure nonsense. It’s a war of aggression, the ultimate crime. These lies just don’t stop. We saw it in Iraq with Tony Blair’s lies about weapons of mass destruction. We saw it in the destruction of Gaza and now we’re seeing it in Iran, setting the entire Middle East and quite likely the world on fire. So on day one, shortly after the assassination of Ayatahi, a girl school that was attacked, it seems there are about 175 killed, 100 more injured. The following day, I picked up the Sunday papers. one of them as a Sunday telegraph. I’ve been through it several times. There’s no mention of that at all. Imagine if 165 Israelis had been killed in a bomb from Iran. It would have been the story on the front. It would have been covered everywhere. But the death of 165 young girls is just of no consequence at all. So I know the editor of the Sunday Telegraph, Alistister Heath. I sent him an email saying, you know, why didn’t you cover this tragedy in the girl school? I’ve not received a reply. And then I read his leader on the Telegraph. The Iranian regime is built on an Islamist doctrine which cannot meaningfully be negotiated with. It’s simply untrue. The Iranians do negotiate and they can absolutely be trusted as they stick to their promises. That was proven when Obama negotiated the JCPOA nuclear deal with Iran in 2015. They stuck to it completely religiously until Trump walked away from it. And we know from the Omani foreign minister. What has Iran agreed to is the agreement that Iran will never ever have a nuclear material that will create a bomb. So there will be zero accumulation, zero stockpiling and full verification. Even United States inspectors will have access. Iranians were negotiating really hard to avoid a war. They’d actually offered a better deal than they had signed off on in 2015. That was on the table. And that, of course, is when America and Israel struck.

Al Jazeera – UN Security Council. UN Security Council condemns Iran attacks on Gulf without mentioning US and Israel Iran says resolution is ‘blatant misuse’ of Security Council, as Russian draft calling for all sides to de-escalate is rejected The UN Security Council has voted to call for an end to Iranian attacks on the Gulf, in a resolution that did not mention US or Israeli attacks on Iran, prompting strong criticism from Tehran’s ambassador. Beijing said that the US and Israel launched strikes without Security Council authorisation and must cease their actions immediately. While stressing that the sovereignty and security of Gulf states must be respected, Fu Cong, China’s representative, said the text “does not fully reflect the root cause and overall picture of the conflict in a balanced manner”. Vasily Nebenzya, Moscow’s representative, said the resolution was “biased and one-sided”. “The Council’s adoption could be interpreted by bad-faith actors, and first and foremost by those who started this war, to continue their acts of aggression against Iran,” he warned. The resolution was tabled by Iran’s Gulf neighbour Bahrain and sponsored by 135 countries. It demanded “the immediate cessation of all attacks by the Islamic Republic of Iran against Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan”. It also condemned actions or threats by Iran “aimed at closing, obstructing, or otherwise interfering with international navigation through the Strait of Hormuz”. The resolution was passed by 13 votes to none against, with Russia and China abstaining. A second draft tabled by Russia, which called on all sides to cease hostilities, was rejected. Jamal Fares Alrowaiei, Bahrain’s UN envoy, said the vote reflected the Gulf’s key role in the global economy. “This is why ensuring the security of this region is not merely a regional matter, it is a common international responsibility that is closely linked to the stability of the global economy and energy security,” he told the Security Council. Amir Saeid Iravani, Iran’s ambassador to the UN, said the adoption of the text was a “blatant misuse” of the Security Council that leaves “a lasting stain on its record”. “Let me make it clear: this resolution is a manifest injustice against my country, the main victim of a clear act of aggression,” he said. ‘Biased and one-sided’ The war began on 28 February after the US and Israel launched strikes across Iran, killing Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, senior officials and many civilians. Iran has responded by launching drone and missile attacks on Israel, as well as every country in the Gulf. “Iran’s strategy of sowing chaos, of trying to hold their neighbours hostage, trying to shake the resolve of the region, has clearly backfired, as shown by this vote today,” said the US ambassador to the UN, Mike Waltz.

Part One – Local and National News Review

US launches War Three on Iran for Israel. UK reluctant to get involved. BBC announces WW3 on Saturday. Trump wants Iranians to rise up and take government. Neither pre-emptive nor legal, US-Israeli strikes on Iran have blown up international law The joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran represent a further erosion of the international legal order. Under international law, these attacks are neither preemptive nor lawful. Israel and the United States launched Operation Shield of Judah and Operation Epic Fury while diplomatic negotiations between Washington and Tehran were actively underway on Iran’s nuclear program. Just two days earlier, the most intense round of US-Iran talks concluded in Geneva, with both sides agreeing to continue. US President Donald Trump indicated he would give negotiators more time. Then came the bombs. The illegality of the attack Israel said the strikes were “preventive”, meaning they were to prevent Iran from developing a capacity to be a threat. But preventive war has no legal basis under international law. The UN Security Council did not authorise any military action, meaning the sole lawful pathway for the use of force for self-defence was never pursued. Article 2(4) of the UN Charter prohibits the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state. Preemptive self-defence, as we have argued previously, has extremely narrow prescriptions under the Caroline doctrine. It requires a threat to be “instant, overwhelming, and leaving no choice of means”. No such conditions existed with Iran on February 28. Central to the current crisis is that it was Trump who ended the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018, which had regional support for controlling Iran’s nuclear program. The US director of national intelligence testified in March 2025 that Iran was not pursuing nuclear weapons, which the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency affirmed. US intelligence also reportedly indicated it would take three years for Iran to build a nuclear weapon. Moreover, US and Israeli strikes on Iran last year had put the program back by months. Trump claimed Iran’s nuclear program had been obliterated. Regime change by force is unlawful Trump said the attacks were intended to end Iran’s nuclear weapons program and bring about regime change. Trump urged Iranians to “take over your government”, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared the goal was to “remove the existential threat posed by the terrorist regime in Iran”. Forcible regime change violates the foundational principles of state sovereignty and non-intervention under the UN Charter. The strikes targeted Iran’s supreme leader, president, and military chief of staff, as well as military infrastructure. Deliberately targeting heads of state also crosses a threshold that distinguishes military operations from acts of aggression. Attacking heads of state is illegal under New York Convention, for obvious reasons of stability. With the death of Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the power vacuum will only increase the hardship on the ground for Iranians. In addition, promises to return the shah – Iran’s previous monarch – have not considered the authoritarian implications of such rule. Reports that an airstrike on an elementary school in Minab killed at least 100 girls aged between seven and 12 underscore the human cost of unplanned regime change. US and Israeli statements imply that regime change is prioritised over any plans of a replacement. But just like the aftermath of the death of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi that saw slavery return to Libya, or how Islamic State filled the power vacuum after the death of dictator Saddam Hussein in Iraq, regime change requires extremely careful planning. In this case, there is no obvious plan to rebuild or stabilise Iran after these strikes. Western allies have expressed concern that Washington lacks a coherent strategy for the aftermath of the attacks, noting the minimal preparation for post-conflict reconstruction and government transition. As Mexico’s representative stated at the UN Security Council following recent US actions in Venezuela, the historical record of regime change shows it has only “exacerbated conflicts and weakened the social and political fabric of nations”. According to The Atlantic, “complete chaos” is likely. Diplomacy as deception Launching strikes during active negotiations violates the principle of good faith in Article 2(2) of the UN Charter. As the Arms Control Association noted, Iranian policymakers had already accused the US of bad faith after the June 2025 strikes disrupted previously scheduled talks. Iran’s Foreign Ministry denounced the February 28 attacks as striking during negotiations, violating international law.

Snipers at Iranian protests in January – Russians told Iran who they were. Iran launches global push to expose terrorist plot behind riots Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has called on Iranian envoys to present an accurate account of the terrorist nature of recent attacks against the country’s security and territorial integrity to the international community. Speaking during a webinar on Tuesday with ambassadors and heads of Iran’s diplomatic missions in Eastern European countries, Araghchi reviewed recent domestic and international developments. During the session, Araghchi highlighted the role of law enforcement and security forces in maintaining public order following the recent riots. Foreign-backed armed rioters and terrorists hijacked peaceful, sporadic protests over economic grievances on January 8 and 9. The violence, encouraged openly by the US and the Israeli regime, resulted in extensive damage to public and private property, with widespread destruction of shops, government institutions, public service facilities, and the killing of hundreds of civilians and security forces. Iranian authorities have confirmed that American and Israeli spy agencies were directly involved, providing funding, training, and media support to rioters and armed terrorists acting on the streets. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei has accused Israeli media of orchestrating a campaign of fabricated stories regarding casualties in recent terrorist riots in Iran. The Iranian minister also criticized foreign interference in Iran’s internal affairs and characterized recent attacks as part of broader efforts to undermine the country’s security. Araghchi further commented on recent developments at the UN Human Rights Council, stating that negative and abstention votes on an Iran-related resolution reflected a lack of consensus around Western double standards. The UNHRC adopted a resolution that extended the mandate of the so-called Independent Fact-Finding Mission on Iran for two years, and the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran for one year. The resolution also called for an urgent investigation by the Fact-Finding Mission, in the context of what it claimed to be crackdown in Iran. The resolution was adopted by a vote of 25 in favor, seven against, and 14 abstentions. “Iran’s diplomatic missions must convey to the international community an accurate and realistic picture of the terrorist nature of the recent attacks against the country’s security and territorial integrity,” Araghchi said. The meeting also focused on various aspects of Iran’s relations with Eastern European states, the provision of consular services to Iranian nationals living in the region, and an assessment of current internal and external developments affecting the country. Ambassadors and heads of missions participating in the webinar also presented reports on steps taken to enhance bilateral relations with Eastern European countries across various sectors.

USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier hit by Iran missile. Trump’s speech on why he has to have war with Iran. USS Abraham Lincoln Forced to “Flee” Indian Ocean Flashpoint After IRGC Fires Four Cruise Missiles — Global (DEFENCE SECURITY ASIA) — The withdrawal of the USS Abraham Lincoln to the southeast Indian Ocean following a four-cruise-missile engagement by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy represents a consequential inflection point in maritime power projection, directly challenging long-standing assumptions regarding carrier strike group survivability inside contested anti-access and area-denial envelopes. Naval history books IRGC spokesman General Sardar Nainini explicitly confirmed that the carrier, positioned approximately 250 to 300 kilometres off Iran’s strategic Chabahar coast, was targeted by four cruise missiles before altering course and retreating, declaring that “the USS Abraham Lincoln fled to the southeast of the Indian Ocean,” thereby framing the incident as both operational success and strategic deterrent signalling. The episode introduces immediate global ramifications for naval force posture doctrine, carrier strike group logistics footprint management, and Indo-Pacific maritime security calculations, as the repositioning of a U.S. nuclear-powered supercarrier away from Iranian littoral waters reshapes the balance of deterrence credibility across the Gulf of Oman and western Indian Ocean. Iran The launching of Iran’s cruise missileCruise missile defense The USS Abraham Lincoln, a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier valued at approximately USD 4.5 billion (RM17.1 billion) excluding embarked air wing and escort vessels, had maintained a standoff posture near Chabahar that placed it squarely within the effective range of Iran’s coastal cruise missile architecture. General Sardar Nainini’s public confirmation of the carrier’s retreat introduced information warfare dynamics into the operational theatre, transforming what might have remained a contested tactical engagement into a strategic narrative battle with implications for global naval doctrine and allied reassurance credibility. Four Cruise Missiles and the 250–300 Kilometre Engagement Envelope The engagement occurred while the USS Abraham Lincoln operated within a 250–300 kilometre corridor off Chabahar, a distance that placed the carrier inside an actionable anti-ship cruise missile threat envelope consistent with Iran’s layered coastal defence posture. The firing of four cruise missiles from IRGC naval elements demonstrated a coordinated targeting and launch sequence that required integrated coastal surveillance, fire-control alignment, and real-time maritime domain awareness sufficient to track and prosecute a moving high-value naval target.Missile technology reports Cruise missiles, optimised for sea-skimming terminal profiles and radar cross-section minimisation, are specifically engineered to exploit vulnerabilities in layered naval air defence screens, forcing carrier strike groups to activate electronic warfare suites, interceptor assets, and evasive manoeuvre protocols simultaneously. General Sardar Nainini’s statement did not detail impact confirmation, damage assessment, or interception outcomes, creating an operational ambiguity that defence planners must interpret cautiously while recognising the strategic signalling embedded in the missile launch itself. The decision of the USS Abraham Lincoln to alter course following the missile firing indicates that the carrier command team assessed the threat envelope as sufficiently credible to justify immediate geographic displacement rather than sustained station-keeping. Operating within 250–300 kilometres of Chabahar inherently compresses reaction timelines for carrier-based air operations, as coastal missile batteries positioned along Iran’s Gulf of Oman frontage can exploit interior lines of communication and shorter sensor-to-shooter cycles.Naval power comparisons

Judge Neapolitano – brilliant as ever  Mohammed Marandi – strikes on Tehran take out State TV – and Supreme Leader. Netanyahu fled to Berlin.

David Hearst, Editor of Middle East Eye, on war being part of plan for a Greater Israel, and India supporting Israel. Centcom based in Qatar. US airbases reduced to rubble.  Netanyahu now preparing for India to replace the US as its main funder! Iran’s decision not to have fought back stronger sooner in 2024 when the Gaza genocide began may be fatal for their nation. Israelis are now courting Modi’s India knowing that the United States may withdraw support when they see they’ve been betrayed. Israel’s war of regional supremacy will not end with Iran | David Hearst Middle East Eye David Hearst, editor in chief of Middle East Eye, says that the US and Israeli strike that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and much of the country’s leadership marks the start of a war aimed not at Iran’s nuclear programme, but at regime change. He says Iran had just made what Oman described as a “substantial offer” in negotiations with Washington to dilute its stock of highly enriched uranium, yet the talks served as cover for what he describes as a pre planned decapitation strike. Hearst says Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu immediately appealed to Iranians to rise up against their government, but the crowds that gathered were largely mourning the dead. From the outset, he adds, it was clear the objective was to dismantle the Iranian state itself, targeting the entire political elite and seeking to turn Iran into “a weak, pliant confederation of ethnic cantons”. He says that weakening Iran is central to a broader Israeli project increasingly described as “Greater Israel”, the idea that Israeli power should extend across the region. Netanyahu, Hearst writes, sees this moment as an opportunity to crush Iran and expand Israel’s military and technological dominance in the Middle East. Iran has responded by widening the conflict, closing the Strait of Hormuz and striking economic and military targets across the Gulf. Hearst says Tehran is seeking to make the costs of the war global, raising energy prices and threatening key infrastructure in order to internationalise the conflict. He concludes that the war could either break the Iranian state or trigger a renewed revolutionary mobilisation, but warns that the stakes go far beyond Iran itself. The outcome, he says, could reshape the map of the Middle East and determine whether Israel can redraw the region’s balance of power in its favour.

False flag drone attack on Cyprus base.And on Turkey as well as Azerbaijan and Qatar. Israel desperate to drag Gulf states into Trumps war. False Flags: Iran denies responsibility for missile strikes on Azerbaijan, Oman, Turkey and Cyprus – If not Tehran, then who is behind these attacks? Drone and missile incidents reported across Azerbaijan, Oman, Turkey and Cyprus amid Iran conflict. Tehran denies involvement, calling some attacks “false flag,” while rising tensions raise regional security concerns. Tensions in the Middle East appear to be spreading beyond the main battlefield as several countries report mysterious drone and missile incidents. Since the conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran intensified, reports of explosions, intercepted drones and suspected missile launches have surfaced across multiple regions. From the Caucasus to the Mediterranean, governments are investigating unusual security incidents, but in many cases the exact source of the attacks remains unclear. Iran has strongly rejected several accusations and claims that some incidents may be “false flag” operations meant to increase pressure on Tehran. Azerbaijan: Drone Incident Near Airport Raises Questions Iran’s armed forces general staff released a statement saying that no Iranian drone had been sent toward Azerbaijan. Tehran emphasized that it respects Azerbaijan’s sovereignty and has no intention of targeting its territory. Iran also suggested that the incident could be part of an attempt to damage relations between Muslim countries. Iranian officials hinted that outside forces may be trying to create mistrust in the region. Oman: Intercepted Drones but No Clear Source Iranian officials described Oman as a “friendly and neighboring country” and insisted that Iran had not launched any attack toward Omani territory. Turkey: Missile Intercepted by NATO Defence System Some signals from Turkish sources suggested that Iran could be responsible. However, on March 5 Iranian authorities firmly rejected the allegation. Tehran stated that it had not launched any missile toward Turkey and repeated that it respects Turkey’s sovereignty. Cyprus: Drone Strike Near British Airbase Another controversial incident took place on March 2 in Cyprus, where a drone attack was reported near the British Royal Air Force base in Akrotiri. Early speculation linked the drone to Iran or Iran-backed groups. Iran denied any involvement and suggested the possibility of a “false flag” operation. Tehran said such attacks might be carried out deliberately to blame Iran and increase hostility in the region. Interestingly, Britain’s defence ministry later said that the drone was not launched from Iran. This has left investigators searching for the real source.

Operation Epstein Fury – Trump with 14 year old Jane. Damning Epstein files with claims against Trump released during Iran war by US Justice Department Documents summarise interviews with an unidentified woman making accusations against US president over an alleged sexual encounter when she was aged between 13 and 15. The United States Justice Department has published additional FBI documents, describing interviews with a woman who said President Donald Trump sexually assaulted her when she was a teenager after she was introduced to him by late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The documents had not been made public under previous congressionally mandated file releases related to Epstein, the disgraced financier, because they were mistakenly marked “duplicative”, the department said on Thursday. The documents released on Thursday include descriptions of multiple 2019 interviews the FBI held with the woman, who alleged she was assaulted by Epstein and Trump while she was aged between 13 and 15 years old. In one interview, the woman said Epstein took her to “either New York or New Jersey” and introduced her to Trump. She told investigators that she bit Trump as he attempted to force her to perform oral sex on him. The woman said she and people close to her received threatening calls over the years demanding she keep quiet, which she believed were related to Epstein. Interviews stopped FBI records reportedly suggest agents stopped speaking with her in 2019. In the report of the woman’s final interview, conducted in October 2019, during Trump’s first presidency, agents asked whether she would be willing to provide more information about Trump. In response, the agent wrote, she “asked what the point would be of providing the information at this point in her life when there was a strong possibility nothing could be done about it”. Advertisement Politico, the US publication which first reported the disclosures, said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called the woman’s claims “completely baseless accusations, backed by zero credible evidence”. Trump has denied any wrongdoing related to the Epstein allegations, and the Justice Department previously said some of the documents it has released “contain untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump”. Before the US and Israel launched their war on Iran five days ago, the fallout from files released by the US Department of Justice on the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was reverberating around the world. Want to come back to this article? Save it for later. But all those revelations have sharply shifted once the bombs started raining down on Iran. On Sunday, Republican US Congressman Thomas Massie, who helped push the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act through Congress last year, said, “bombing a country on the other side of the globe won’t make the Epstein files go away”. He has also been critical of the war. Shaiel Ben-Ephraim, an analyst with Atlas Global Strategies and a former Israeli diplomat, has told Al Jazeera that Trump “really needs a distraction from [his domestic issues] in the form of a war”.

Mark Carney is being positioned as ‘moderate’ – Bilderberg plan?

ECONOMIC DISASTER: Strait of Hormuz shut – 300 tankers plus container ships stuck oil prices going up. Strait of Hormuz crisis: 700 tankers pile up as security fears paralyse shipping amid US–Iran escalation, says report As tensions rise following US-Israeli strikes on Iran, over 700 tankers are stranded in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil transit route. Shipping activities have plummeted, leading to soaring insurance costs and potential supply shortages, prompting Asian refiners to consider cutting operations. As of today, 706 non-Iranian tankers are waiting on either side of the strait, the agency said on 2 March. Of these, 334 crude oil tankers, 109 vessels carrying dirty petroleum products and 263 transporting clean petroleum products are positioned at various points across the Persian Gulf (west of the strait), the Gulf of Oman (east of the strait) and the Arabian Sea Oil tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has declined as security risks have increased amid escalating tensions in West Asia after the US-Israel strikes on Iran and its retaliatory onslaught in the region. Shipping activities have almost halted due to a conflict involving more than 700 ships gathered on both sides of the strategic route, according to a report by the Turkish news agency Anadolu. Located at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz connects West Asia’s oil and liquefied natural gas production to global markets through the Gulf of Oman and the Indian Ocean. About 20% of the world’s daily oil consumption, or about 20 million barrels, passes through this strategic corridor. Following the joint attack by the United States (US) and Israel on Iran at the weekend, ship operators halted crossings amid soaring insurance costs. International news agencies have quoted an analysis by the instant data company Kpler, saying that as many as 21 million barrels of oil were transported by 15 tankers on 27 February, rising to 21.6 million barrels by 18 ships on Saturday. However, on 1 March, only three tankers carrying 2.8 million barrels crossed the strait, the agencies said. With an average daily flow throughout the year of 19.8 million barrels, shipments on 1 March recorded an 86% decline from the average in 2026, Anadolu reported. As of today, 706 non-Iranian tankers are waiting on either side of the strait, the agency said on 2 March. Of these, 334 crude oil tankers, 109 vessels carrying dirty petroleum products and 263 transporting clean petroleum products are positioned at various points across the Persian Gulf (west of the strait), the Gulf of Oman (east of the strait) and the Arabian Sea, it said. Is the Strait of Hormuz shut? Ever since the joint US-Israeli strikes on Iran that began over the weekend, there have been reports alleging that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had sent messages to ships intending to use the Strait of Hormuz stating that “no vessels will be permitted to pass.” Some reports suggested that these warnings were broadcast to ship crews operating in the Persian Gulf via the international hailing and distress frequency VHF Channel 16, yet no official statement has been issued confirming a formal closure of the chokepoint. Iranian media have claimed that the Strait of Hormuz has been effectively shut. United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said in a statement on Sunday that the maritime security level for the Strait of Hormuz had been raised to “critical”, the highest risk category.

Russia’s Sergei Lavrov – Iran had no nuclear bomb capability. Sergey Lavrov Accuses U.S. and Israel of Dragging Iran into a Wider Conflict with Gulf Countries Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused the United States and Israel of seeking to disrupt relations between Iran and its Arab neighbors in the Persian Gulf, amid the ongoing Middle East conflict. Speaking during the Russian Foreign Ministry briefing roundtable in Moscow diplomatic forum on March 5, 2026, Lavrov criticised the U.S.-Israeli military offensive against Iran. “I have no doubt that one of the goals was to create a split between the countries of the Persian Gulf, Iran, and its Arab neighbors, between which there has been a positive process of normalization in recent years. First of all, this was noticeable when Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Iran normalized,” said Lavrov. Moscow has condemned the strikes as an act of aggression, accusing Washington and Tel Aviv of exacerbating instability rather than containing it. Earlier on March 2, President Vladimir Putin, together with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, discussed the risks of the conflict. According to the Kremlin, both sides expressed serious concern about the real risks of the conflict spreading, which has already affected the territories of a number of Arab countries and could have catastrophic consequences. After the attacks launched on Tehran, Russia’s Foreign Ministry accused Washington and Tel Aviv of hiding behind concerns about Iran’s nuclear program while actually pursuing regime change. Lavrov warned that the attacks risked triggering a humanitarian, economic, and possibly radiological catastrophe in the region. Russian President Vladimir Putin has signaled that Moscow may consider ending most natural gas exports to Europe, instead focusing on emerging global markets that could offer higher returns. Putin Threatens to Cut Europe Off Gas Supplies Speaking on state television, Putin on March 4 said he would instruct his government to assess the potential move in coordination with Russian energy companies. “Other markets are opening now, maybe it’s better for us to end supplies to the European market right now? To go to those markets that are opening now and get a foothold there,” said Putin. He added that several buyers are willing to pay higher prices for Russian gas, which could offset revenues previously earned from European clients.

Netanyahu on the Iran war. US troops for Jesus story. Religious war? Tucker Carlson – maybe we wanted a religious war. US troops were told Iran war ‘anointed by Jesus’ to bring on Armageddon, watchdog says Military Religious Freedom Foundation said it received widespread complaints about Christian-nationalist US commanders US commanders from every arm of the military have told their units that the war on Iran is “anointed by Jesus” and would bring about his return to Earth as part of the “Armageddon”, resulting in scores of complaints from serving members of the military. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), an organisation dedicated to ensuring that all members of the US military are guaranteed religious freedom, told Middle East Eye on Tuesday that it had received more than 200 similar complaints from personnel serving in the army, navy, air force, marine corps, and space force. The complaints received by the MRFF, first reported by journalist Jonathan Larsen, have come from more than 40 units and span at least 30 military installations. According to MRFF, one combat unit commander told non-commissioned officers (NCOs) at a briefing on Monday that the Israeli-US attacks on Iran are part of God’s “plan” and that US President Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth”. A US NCO who wrote to the MRFF said their commander had told them the war with Iran was “all part of God’s divine plan”. The commander referred repeatedly to the Bible’s Book of Revelation and to Armageddon, the story about the battle between good and evil, in which Jesus triumphs and establishes a lasting peace on Earth. The commander is quoted by the NCO as saying: “President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth.” “He had a big grin on his face when he said all of this, which made his message seem even more crazy,” the NCO wrote in his complaint. “Our commander would probably be described as a ‘Christian First’ supporter. He has been this way for a very long time and makes it clear that he desires all of us under him to become just like him as a Christian.” Christian Zionism in US military Michael L Weinstein, founder of MRFF and a veteran of the US Air Force and Reagan White House, told MEE that his organisation was continuing to be inundated with complaints from serving US military personnel who had been told that they should be excited to be part of the war on Iran, as it would bring about “Armageddon” and the return of Jesus Christ. “This is not just one rogue commander,” Weinstein said, pointing to the growing influence of Christian nationalists and fundamentalists in the US military. US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, an ultra-conservative Christian nationalist who has been described as the Pentagon’s “holy warrior”, sponsors a weekly Bible study that preaches support for Israel. As Larsen reported, while some Christians claim biblical prophecy requires Israel to exist for Jesus to return, Hegseth’s Bible study leader, Ralph Drollinger, teaches that Israel should be supported because God blesses Israel’s allies and curses its enemies. Weinstein said that MRFF received similar complaints about fundamentalist Christian, end-of-the-world theology in the wake of the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023.

Was Solomon’s Temple Jewish or Pagan? Tony quotes from book on Masons. Jihadis, Isis sent to war? Accelerationism. Stellar Theology And Masonic Astronomy Robert Hewitt Brown (1882) Stellar Theology and Masonic Astronomy is a comprehensive book written by Robert Hewitt Brown that explores the connections between astronomy, astrology, Solomon’s Temple and Freemasonry. The book delves into the history of the ancient science of astronomy and how it has influenced various cultures throughout history, including the Masonic fraternity. Brown examines the symbolism and allegory used in Masonic rituals and how they relate to the stars and planets. He also explores the concept of the zodiac and how it is used in both astronomy and astrology. The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on a specific aspect of astronomy and its relation to Freemasonry. Brown covers topics such as the history of astronomy, the symbolism of the constellations, the use of the celestial globe in Masonic rituals, and the significance of the North Star. Overall, Stellar Theology and Masonic Astronomy is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of astronomy or the symbolism and allegory used in Freemasonry. Brown’s writing is clear and concise, making the book accessible to both Masonic scholars and general readers alike.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1882 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Maduro kidnap in Venezuela: “At one point, they launched something; I don’t know how to describe it. It was like a very intense sound wave. Suddenly I felt like my head was exploding from the inside,” the witness said. “We all started bleeding from the nose. Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon — or whatever it was.” – officials around him incapacitated by discombobulator. What is ‘discombobulator’, the secret weapon Trump says US forces used during Venezuela raid ‘Suddenly all our radar systems shut down without explanation’ One of Maduro’s former guards later revealed the sequence of events on the night of the US raid, and said, “Suddenly all our radar systems shut down without any explanation.” “The next thing we saw were drones, a lot of drones, flying over our positions. We didn’t know how to react,” he said, saying that helicopters then appeared — “barely eight” — carrying about 20 US troops into the area. “The Discombobulator” then was aimed directly at Maduro’s defenders. “At one point, they launched something; I don’t know how to describe it.

We fell to the ground, unable to move. We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon — or whatever it was.” Maduro, 63, is now locked up in a Brooklyn federal jail awaiting trial on narcoterrorism charges, while his former vice president, Delcy Rodriguez, serves as Venezuela’s interim leader. “We have a great relationship with the new president,” Trump said. “She’s been terrific.”

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth – aims to rebuild a ‘third temple’ in Jerusalem. Returning to the real estate much valued by the Satanic Medieval Knights Templar. But was Solomon’s Temple designed by God, or by priests and architects of the Phoenician, Babylonian and Egyptian Mystery Religions? How Was the Temple in Jerusalem Aligned Compared to Ancient Eastern Temples? Explore how Solomon’s temple followed or diverged from Near Eastern temple orientation practices. By Scott Smith, OT in Context · Published 2025 Timeline Focus: 960 BCE The Surprising Reality When Solomon built the temple around 960 BC, its eastward orientation followed a pattern found in temples from Egypt to Babylon. The Context Question But here’s what most people don’t realize: this architectural choice had theological implications, reflecting sunrise symbolism across the ancient world. What We Know Excavations and reconstructions of temples in Egypt, Syria, and Mesopotamia reveal a strong east-facing pattern. Solomon’s temple followed suit, likely symbolizing divine illumination. Understanding the shared design patterns requires architectural overlays on the timeline. Jump to 960 BC and see exactly how temple orientation aligned with theology—discover what this reveals about Israel’s cultural dialogue.

Marine veteran, Brian McGinnes, interrupts hearing shouting ‘no-one wants to fight for Israel’, and gets arm broken. Meet Brian McGinnis, the Ex-Marine Ejected from Capitol Hill and Green Party Senate Candidate McGinnis was arrested and hospitalized Brian McGinnis, an ex-Marine and Green Party Senate candidate from North Carolina, was forcibly removed from a Senate Armed Services subcommittee hearing on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. The hearing, focused on military readiness, was interrupted when McGinnis began protesting US and Israel’s involvement in the conflict with Iran. McGinnis later claimed his arm was broken during the removal, while US Capitol Police alleged he resisted arrest and assaulted officers. Incident Details According to video footage provided to CBS News, McGinnis, dressed in a military uniform, shouted statements including ‘America does not want to send its sons and daughters to war for Israel.’ Capitol Police attempted to escort him from the hearing room, but McGinnis appeared to struggle with officers. At one point, near the doorway, Senator Tim Sheehy of Montana left the dais and assisted police officers in removing McGinnis. During the process, McGinnis’ left hand reportedly became caught between the door and the frame. Video footage shows Sheehy trying to dislodge the hand, after which McGinnis stated his arm was injured. He was subsequently escorted out of the room and transported to George Washington University Hospital. Capitol Police released a statement saying McGinnis faces multiple charges, including three counts of assaulting a police officer, three counts of resisting arrest, and one count of crowding, obstructing, and incommoding, referring to blocking an entrance. The agency described the protester as ‘putting everyone in a dangerous position by violently resisting and fighting our officers’ attempts to remove him.’ Speaking to CBS News, Mark Elbourno, the Green Party official managing McGinnis’ Senate campaign, defended his candidate, saying he ‘wasn’t assaulting anybody’ and ‘just wanted to be heard speaking loud and clear.’ Elbourno stated he was unsure of McGinnis’ current medical condition. Senator Sheehy posted on X that he intervened because McGinnis was ‘fighting back’ against police and that he sought to ‘help out and deescalate the situation.’ He added that McGinnis came to the Capitol ‘looking for a confrontation.’ Who Is Brian McGinnis? McGinnis served in the United States Marine Corps and currently works as a firefighter in North Carolina. He is running as a Green Party candidate for the US Senate and has been outspoken on anti-war policies. According to his campaign team, he attended the hearing to directly challenge congressional leaders on military spending and foreign policy, citing frustration with what he called ‘misleading statements about the war.’ Legal and Political Context Following the incident, McGinnis was arrested and transported to a hospital for evaluation of his arm injury. US Capitol Police maintain that protests are not allowed inside congressional buildings, directing demonstrators to designated areas on Capitol Grounds. The charges against McGinnis remain pending, and his case highlights the legal and security protocols surrounding disruptions of official government proceedings.

Hegseth on why the war on Iran. Stock markets lose billions. Hegseth – how did we know? Pete Hegseth floats third Jewish temple mission in unearthed speech: ‘It could happen’ President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth testifies during his Senate Armed Services confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill on Jan. 14, 2025, in Washington, D.C. Hegseth, an Army veteran and the former host of “FOX & Friends Weekend” on FOX News will be the first of the incoming Trump administration’s nominees to face questions from Senators. | Andrew Harnik/Getty Images Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth floated the possibility of a third Jewish temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, according to a recently unearthed interview. “There’s no reason why the miracle of the re-establishment of the temple on the Temple Mount is not possible,” Hegseth said during a 2018 speech at the Arutz Sheva conference in Jerusalem, according to the Times of Israel. “I don’t know how it would happen. You don’t know how it would happen, but I know that it could happen,” he continued. “A step in that process, a step in every process, is a recognition that facts and activities on the ground truly matter.” “That’s why going and visiting Judea and Samaria and understanding that sovereignty — the very sovereignty of Israeli soil, Israeli cities, locations — is a critical next step to showing the world that this is the land for Jews and the Land of Israel,” he added. Hegseth’s unearthed comments come as President Donald Trump, who moved the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem during his first term, has proposed that the U.S. seize Gaza. “The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a [good] job with it, too,” Trump said Tuesday during a press briefing with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The reconstruction of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem features prominently in some veins of Christian eschatology, though other Christians maintain that Christ assumed the temple’s sacrificial system on Himself and rendered it unnecessary. The First Temple, also known as Solomon’s Temple, was destroyed by the Babylonians when they conquered Jerusalem in 586 B.C. Herod’s Temple, which was the second Jewish temple constructed in Jerusalem, was destroyed by the Romans when they sacked the city in A.D. 70, following a months-long siege.

BBC – no imminent threat of nuclear weapons in Iran. Pentagon tells Congress no intelligence showed Iran was preparing to strike before US attack Closed-door briefings acknowledge no evidence that Tehran intended to hit US forces first, as Democrats accuse Trump of launching a “war of choice.” Legality Of Strikes In Doubt Questions about the legality of Trump’s strikes were circulating earlier this week as the US military moved into place around Iran, and Trump continued to threaten action. Experts have raised concerns under both international and U.S. domestic law, with critics pointing to Congress’s constitutional power to declare war. Under international law, the U.N. Charter bars the use of force by one state against another state except for in the cases of self-defense or if there has been U.N. Security Council authorization. Trump has made the case with his comments this morning that the US and Israeli strikes were “pre-emptive” and aimed at defending the American people. But this is not a proportionate or necessary response on the available facts of the strength of Iran’s nuclear threat, experts say. “It would be a manifest violation of the United Nations Charter for the United States to strike Iran,” Rutgers Law School professor Adil Haque had told Newsweek on Friday prior to Saturday’s strikes. “Under international law, the use of force against another State is illegal unless it is authorized by the U.N. Security Council or is a necessary and proportionate act of self-defense against an actual or imminent armed attack.” He had said prior to the strikes: “The United States cannot invoke its right of self-defense because Iran has not attacked the United States, is not about to attack the United States, and does not plan to attack the United States.” Haque also noted that when posed previously with the question of authorizing force against Iran, the U.N. Security Council had “consistently chosen to use economic sanctions to compel Iran to accept limitations and oversight of its nuclear program to ensure that it is not converted into a weapons program in the future.”

The Iran War Is #Accelerationist Operation and Dark Enlightenment ‘Godfather’, Tony’s school-friend Nick Land, has moved from Shanghai to California: The Cathedral – Nick Land. Yvette Cooper – questions on war with Iran. Sunset on the Dark Enlightenment: Inside Nick Land’s San Francisco ‘Arrival Party’… “Both of you are on stage because you created the Dark Enlightenment,” he says, pausing as he collects his thoughts. “An ideology which was very potent at a certain moment. Now, though, I’m not sure if that moment has passed, but it’s changed. How, then, do you both feel the concept has evolved, and how do you see it evolving further?” Unsurprisingly, Yarvin responds first. “The Dark Enlightenment,” he says, “was responding to a set of different utopias—maybe it’s a conservative utopia, maybe it’s a liberal utopia, but it’s all the same teleology, this dream of a place that we’re going, and these progressive movements have, of course, moments of disillusionment, such as with the George Floyd hangover, or with Occupy Wall Street. These people had a millenarian view of the world that failed, and even on the right, there were all these fantasies of, like, restoring the 18th century, and that they were the second Tea Party—never mind that the original Tea Party was basically Antifa—and then their whole dream turned into the shitshow that was January 6th. What we see now is that these visions of the future have become nullified, and rather than history ending in the Fukuyama sense, instead nobody has any clear idea of where we’re going, and that inevitably allows for more interesting, more radical, ideas to spread.” Land nods. “I agree with a lot of what Curtis said. But really, I still firmly believe that the Unqualified Reservations model of government [a neocameralist system that treats government as a sovereign corporation owned by shareholders] is completely unsurpassed, and it would be absolutely fantastic to have this world shattered into a patchwork of microstates, and to have new modes of geopolitical experimentation open up. But I don’t think, in the short term, anyone is seeing that now.”… “I agree,” says a voice from behind us. “I don’t get why they were so solemn.” We turn, and sitting on the fountain smoking a wood pipe is Justin Murphy, host of the Other Life podcast and author of Based Deleuze, which reinterprets the French philosopher’s beliefs as a “reactionary leftism” laced with anti-egalitarian ideas. In 2020, it was Murphy who hosted the first event with Yarvin since his public doxxing and unofficial banishment from Silicon Valley, in many ways shepherding the arrival of the Dark Enlightenment into public discourse. “They confuse me,” he continues. “They’re always so negative. God, everything used to be so much worse, and now look where we are. We’ve got AI! We’ve got crypto! We’ve got power! The siege mentality is over! Woke is dead and gone! In fact,” he smiles and blows smoke, “Tonight probably marks the end of the ‘dissident’ right.” “What do you mean by that?” Sam asks. “Well, what more is there?” He replies. “We’ve done everything.” I consider what he’s saying, and whether it’s he or I who is living in a bubble. We linger outside talking for a little longer, and upon coming inside, notice that many of the guests have disappeared. A short man with round glasses tells us that they’ve mostly migrated downstairs to the back terrace, where Land and Grimes are having an impromptu conversation and fielding questions. We walk down the stairs to join them, and find the crowd clustered around a cackling fire pit overlooking the Bay. I take a seat and observe the discussion, taking pictures of the scene. A raven-haired girl comes over and offers me ketamine, boasting she smuggled it in, and soon, the party starts to fade out.

Part One – Local and National News Review

Greens win Gorton and Denton by election. Tommy Robinson supports new Restore Party. Gorton and Denton was a disaster for Labour – can Starmer find a way back? Sir Keir Starmer has acknowledged that the by-election result was “disappointing”, but has insisted he will carry on. The first ever Green by-election win, their first ever MP in the north of England, all in the first electoral test for the relatively new Green leader Zack Polanski. This is his moment – and reasonably so. Not wanting to punch a bruise, but ironically there’s something of the Andy Burnham about the new Green MP Hannah Spencer – her lilt, her approach, the way she talks about her plumbing job, her roots in the community – all a style Labour would be jealous of. And Labour could have had it too, had Burnham not been blocked by Keir Starmer. She will enter Parliament a perpetual reminder of a choice Labour could have had but Keir Starmer blocked. Make no mistake about it, this is a disaster for Labour. The party held the Gorton and Denton seat at the last general election by over 50%, and it was Labour’s 38th safest seat. Less than a week ago, one of Labour’s campaign team was swearing they would win, a message being repeated confidently amongst Labour MPs in the last 24 hours. Yet this morning the party is in third place – one of the top ten by-election losses of all time. Starmer’s by-election loss record now two out of two, after losing to Reform UK in Runcorn less than a year ago. Greens leader, Zack Polanski, describes their win as an ‘existential crisis’ for Labour as their candidate came third after Reform UK. But it’s not the raw results alone that will cause the difficulty for Starmer – it’s the nature of the loss to another progressive party, and therefore a defeat which hits every Labour neurosis. The Labour campaign made little sense. The party was fighting against Reform UK – opposing the extremist entrant, as they saw it, in the campaign and wanting to present themselves as the mainstream opponent. Yet Reform UK were not, in practice, the opponent. Their defeat was at the hands of the Greens, the failure was votes bleeding not to the right and Reform UK, but to the left and into the arms of Zack Polanski…

Jeremy Corbyn just before vote is supporting Green Party. Jeremy Corbyn wrestles control of Your Party from Zarah Sultana in heated election Jeremy Corbyn has wrestled control of Your Party from leadership rival Zarah Sultana. The former Labour leader’s supporters have won 14 of 24 seats on the party’s central executive committee (CEC), double the number of seats won by Sultana’s faction. On Wednesday, Corbyn said that he was “delighted” that Your Party members “voted for a mass, socialist party that takes the fight to Starmer and Farage”. He added: “We have a precious opportunity to unite our movement around a bold vision for this country – one that believes in a more caring, equal and peaceful society for all. I look forward to working with all members to make this vision a reality. The victory for Corbyn’s faction means the longtime MP will likely be named as Your Party’s parliamentary leader. “I have always held the view that everyone I meet knows something I don’t. Let us build a positive and inclusive party where all members feel empowered to share their ideas. “It is by listening to each other and learning from one another that we can unleash the power of all our communities and build the mass movement this country needs.” More than 25,000 of Your Party’s 40,985 verified members voted in the election, which placed both Corbyn and Sultana on the CEC. Ex-Labour MP Laura Smith was also elected, while Independent Alliance MPs Shockat Adam and Ayoub Khan missed out. In Scotland, independent candidate Niall Christie was also elected to the CEC. The ex-Scottish Greens activist faced off against veteran socialist Jim Monaghan, as well as Ian Drummond. Christie wrote on X: “Extremely proud to be elected to the CEC of Your Party to represent Scotland. “A massive thanks to all of the 570 members in Scotland who put their faith in me, and an equally big thanks to all the others who backed Jim and Ian – who I look forward to continuing working with.” Your Party Scotland recently announced that candidates would stand in May’s Holyrood election. At the first Your Party Scotland conference in Dundee three weeks ago, 69.8% of party members backed contesting the election. Announcing the decision, Sultana told party members: “Scottish people deserve better than a politics that wears the veneer of progressivism while still pushing through cuts that decimate our communities, and that’s what you get with the SNP and the Greens.” The MP added: “We can do better than that. “In fact, you deserve better than that, and Your Party exists to oppose cuts, and I’m glad that you have voted to put candidates on a no-cuts platform, because that is the socialist position.”

Victory Speech: Hannah Spence Addresses After Historic Green Party Win in Gorton & Denton| AC1Z Vote counting and the official declaration of results took place in Gorton and Denton, England, as the UK by-election concluded. Speaking on stage after the declaration, Spence told supporters she didn’t grow up wanting to be a politician, saying: “I’m a plumber.” She emphasized her practical background and determination, adding that even under pressure, she gets things done. Her victory marks the Green Party’s first-ever parliamentary by-election win, defeating Labour in a long-time stronghold. The result is being described as a major political shift in the constituency. Full speech from the stage Key quotes from Hannah Spence Crowd reaction and atmosphere Historic moment for the Green Party

Sour Grapes at by-election: Nigel Farage on family voting and postal voting fraud in election. ‘CHEATERS!’ – Nigel Farage ERUPTS as Greens win in Gorton and Denton by-election Daily Express Nigel Farage warned the Gorton and Denton by-election was a “victory for sectarian voting and cheating”. Labour was pushed into third place in the former stronghold behind Zack Polanski’s party and Reform UK. In a post on X, Reform leader Mr Farage sad: “This election was a victory for sectarian voting and cheating. Matt Goodwin was a great candidate for us. Roll on the elections on May 7th. It will be goodbye Starmer and goodbye to the Tory party.” Concerns have been raised about people forcing family members to vote in a certain way in the contest. Election observer group Democracy Volunteers warned it had witnessed “concerningly high levels” of family voting – an illegal practice where two voters use one polling booth and potentially direct each other on voting.

Pensioners are more likely to marry than the young – story Church weddings slump to record low as young couples shun marriage The latest data also shows Christians now account for fewer than half of England and Wales’ population Fewer people than ever before are getting married in Church as young people turn their backs on traditional wedding ceremonies. The Church of England officiated just over one in 10 opposite-sex marriages in 2023 – its lowest share on record outside of the pandemic. It recorded 23,004 marriages in 2023 in England and Wales – the lowest since records began in 1937, excluding the 2020 and 2021 Covid years. In 2022 the Church carried out 12.9 per cent of marriages – down from more than a fifth in 2003 and more than a third in 1973. Responding to the data, published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), Diarmaid MacCulloch, Emeritus Professor of the History of the Church, University of Oxford, said “the public have voted with their feet”. Rev Marcus Walker, the rector at St Bartholomew the Great in the City of London, and founder of the Save the Parish campaign group, said: “This is both sad and worrying. Sad that in a dangerous and fast-moving world we have never needed more the knowledge that someone is there ‘for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health’. Worrying because marriage is becoming class-coded: the rich and well-educated are still enjoying the advantages of the stability of marriage while the rest of society is being priced out.” Anglican marriages at a record low The data comes as the Church of England is trying to entice young people in an increasingly secular society. In the latest census, the ONS found that Christians now account for fewer than half of England and Wales’ population. The census results showed that 46.2 per cent of the population (27.5 million people) described themselves as “Christian” in 2021. This marks a 13.1 percentage point decrease from 59.3 per cent (33.3 million people) in 2011. Although “Christian” remained the most common response to the census question about religion, every major religion increased over the 10-year period except for Christianity. Furthermore, official Church of England figures show that almost a third of churches have zero children in their congregations.

ARCHIVE: RT Going Underground – Afshin Rattansi 2014 interview, the final one before he died, with the late RMT General Secretary Bob Crow, on how Labour Party was formed at his union’s HQ and has now abandoned the Unions. Afshin Rattansi pays tribute to one of the most influential union leaders, Bob Crow, who died early Tuesday morning. In his final major interview, filmed in February, he spoke about the problems in mainstream politics and how it felt to take on Boris.

Loved by the workers, feared by the bosses — Bob Crow dies at 52 Bob Crow 1961-2014 Tributes poured in yesterday to the workers’ towering champion Bob Crow after he died from a suspected heart attack aged 52. All his life, he was an energetic fighter for the socialist cause. He was an implacable opponent of the EU, and in recent times he spearheaded the No2EU – Yes to Workers’ Rights movement. He would have been the lead No2EU candidate for London in May’s EU elections. Showing solidarity to the last, he spoke in Brighton just four days ago at an event to mark the 30th anniversary of the miners’ strike. Shock and grief gripped labour movement activists as news spread of the sudden death of the much-loved general secretary of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT). The union closed its central London head office as a mark of respect but grieving trade unionists and members of the public laid flowers outside. Meanwhile tributes and condolences flooded in from across Britain and around the world. Labour MP John McDonnell, convener of the RMT group of MPs, said: “Bob was one of the finest trade unionists we have ever seen. “He was simply loved by his members and re-elected time and again.” Grieving MP Jeremy Corbyn said: “Rest in peace Bob. You were a brilliant fighter, who gave your all for the working class.” Manuel Cortes, the leader of rail union TSSA who joined Mr Crow on the picket line during the recent London Tube strike, said: “It was a privilege to campaign and fight alongside him because he never gave an inch.” Fire Brigades Union general secretary Matt Wrack said: “Bob was a good friend to me personally and to the Fire Brigades Union as a whole. “He was a strong leader for the labour movement and he’ll be sorely missed by those who knew him.” His death is a “devastating loss” to Britain’s trade union movement and to the cause of working people across the globe, declared GMB union general secretary Paul Kenny. The Cuba Solidarity Campaign described him as “a wonderful friend to the working people of Cuba.” Mr Crow’s older brother Richard described him as “one of those loveable little rogues, one of those guys that had bundles of friends.” He added: “People moaned that he lived in a council house, that he never drove a car – he lived a life of the average guy in the street and that’s a rare thing these days. “When people have a high office in life they fall for the big trappings of the flash cars and the big hotels and big houses. But Bob wasn’t like that, he was a genuine person of the people.” Even his political enemies felt obliged to issue hypocritical public comments. London Mayor Boris Johnson grudgingly admitted: “Bob fought tirelessly for his beliefs and for his members” while Prime Minister David Cameron’s spokesman said his death was “very sad news.” And Labour leader Ed Miliband, who in 2011 refused to share a platform with Mr Crow at the Durham miners’ gala, said he had “always respected his tireless commitment to fighting for the men and women in his union.” Mr Crow became RMT general secretary in 2002 following the death of former leader Jimmy Knapp. Born in Shadwell, east London, Mr Crow started working on the London Underground at the age of 16.

Epstein Files. Mandelson arrested this week. Jacob Rees Mogg on You Tube the day before Mandelson arrested – why is he not arrested yet? Prescient! Jacob Rees-Mogg explains why Peter Mandelson should be arrested the evening before he was Crystal ball? Did Jacob RM predict the arrest of Peter Mandelson the evening before it happened? original: • Video Jacob Rees-Mogg – Why hasn’t Mandelson been arrested? Only three Labour leaders since the early 1980s have steered clear of Peter Mandelson, and they were John Smith, Jeremy Corbyn and Ed Miliband. Neil Kinnock, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and Keir Starmer all allowed Mandelson to be an intimate of their operations, a key player. Starmer was very pleased with the appointment. Thought it was going well. Got the trade deal done thanks to Mandelson’s ability to charm Donald Trump, to get round him, to use his snake-oil salesman techniques to get what the British Government wanted. This seemed to be good. But Sir Keir Starmer knew, the public knew, it was on the public record that Mandelson had maintained his relationship with Epstein after Epstein had been found guilty. And this brings the scandal right back to the Prime Minister and to the Prime Minister’s judgement. What was he doing? Appointing a man who had been disgraced several times for a financial scandal, for an influence scandal, and for dealing with a sex pest scandal as our ambassador. How degrading is that to the standing of the United Kingdom on the world stage? What can our friends in Washington think, that the Prime Minister of this country thought it suitable to send somebody who was friendly hobnobbing with a paedophile after he had been found guilty? And then some of the pictures come out and you see the smoking gun that yes, Mandelson may have misled people. But when those pictures came out, you knew that the relationship was deep and close. How many of you viewers have been photographed in your underpants at a friend’s house? I think that is a very odd type of picture to have. I know you may not all be like me and insist on wearing a suit at all times of the day and most of the night, but isn’t that just weird and sleazy? Doesn’t that indicate a closeness of relationship? That is strange, to say the least, and that has just added more information to what we already knew. And this leaves the Government in a state of stasis. It cannot do anything. It is flatlining. The Prime Minister has no moral authority left. It was taken from him once he appointed Peter Mandelson and Mandelson’s dreadful behaviour was discovered every last detail of it unearthed.

Lindsay Hoyle thought Mandelson was a flight risk, prompted arrest. Met apologises to Commons Speaker for sharing Mandelson tip-off The Metropolitan Police has apologised to the Commons Speaker for “inadvertently revealing” he was the source of information relating to Lord Mandelson’s arrest on Monday. It comes after Sir Lindsay Hoyle confirmed he had passed on information to the force suggesting the peer could be a flight risk. Lord Mandelson’s lawyers have complained about the Met’s decision to detain him as part of its probe into misconduct in public office allegations. They say he had agreed to an interview next month, and the decision to take him into custody was prompted by a “baseless” suggestion he was planning to “take up permanent residence abroad”. The BBC understands that Lord Mandelson’s lawyers were twice told by the police that information about his alleged travel plans had been passed on by Lord Forsyth, the Speaker of the House of Lords. On Tuesday evening, Lord Forsyth denied any involvement after he was initially reported as the source of the referral, calling the suggestion “entirely false and without foundation”. On Wednesday, The Times then reported the information had in fact been shared by Sir Lindsay. Shortly afterwards, the Commons Speaker made a statement to MPs confirming he had given “relevant” information to the force. He told MPs he had done this “in good faith”, considering it to be his “duty and responsibility”. “It is regrettable this rapidly ended in the media,” he added. He did not provide any details, but the BBC understands Sir Lindsay passed on information he received in the British Virgin Islands during a visit last week that Lord Mandelson was planning to travel there. Senior officers from the Met met Sir Lindsay on Wednesday to explain the situation, which is regarded by the force as a serious breach of protocol. A spokesperson for the force said: “The Met has apologised to the Speaker of the House of Commons this afternoon for inadvertently revealing information during an investigation into allegations of misconduct in public office.” The BBC understands the Speaker of the House of Lords has not yet received an apology from the Metropolitan Police. Lords sources said Lord Forsyth had arranged an urgent meeting with the Metropolitan Police on Thursday and was expected to receive clarification about how his name came to be mentioned. The sources said he wanted to know why, when the media was widely reporting erroneous information attributed to him, he was not contacted about the issue and the record was not corrected. Lord Mandelson’s lawyers Mishcon de Reya have written to the Met asking what information and evidence they based their decision to arrest their client on. The force is understood to have conducted its own assessment of the credibility of the information passed on by Sir Lindsay before deciding to arrest Lord Mandelson on Monday afternoon. The former Labour minister was taken to Wandsworth police station in London for interview, before later being released on bail pending further investigation. It is understood he surrendered his passport as one of his bail conditions.

Darren Jones, Bristol Labour MP, is in charge of Humble Address as he is The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster – Starmer giving him information on Mandelson. It is like being Minister of Cabinet Office. Tweet X by Steven Swinford, Political Editor at The Times – two key documents related to Mandelson not released until after Police investigation. Filtered documents on Peter Mandelson appointment to be released early March – minister Mr Jones’ statement came minutes before the force announced Lord Mandelson had been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The first tranche of documents related to Lord Peter Mandelson’s appointment as US ambassador is expected to be released “very shortly in early March”, MPs have been told. However, the publication of some correspondence between Downing Street and the peer will be delayed “because of the Metropolitan Police interest”, Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister Darren Jones said. Mr Jones’ statement to the Commons came minutes before the force announced Lord Mandelson had been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The former Labour minister has been accused of passing on information to Epstein when he was business secretary, with two of his properties searched by police. Sir Keir Starmer has faced considerable criticism over his decision to appoint Lord Mandelson to the position despite his links to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, with Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar calling for him to resign. The Prime Minister had admitted to knowing about Lord Mandelson’s ongoing friendship with Epstein, but said the peer “lied repeatedly” about the extent of the relationship when questioned on it. Under pressure from Labour MPs and opposition parties, the Prime Minister agreed to release all the documents relating to the appointment, with sensitive ones sent to Parliament’s Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC). In a statement to the Commons on Monday, Mr Jones said: “The Government intends to publish documents in tranches instead of one publication at the end of the process, given that we are unable to confirm how long that process will take. “On that basis, the Government expects to be able to publish the first tranche of documents very shortly in early March. “I should, however, inform the House that it remains the case that a subset of this first tranche of documents is currently subject to the ongoing Metropolitan Police investigation. “This includes correspondence between number 10 and Lord Peter Mandelson, in which a number of follow up questions were asked. “Because of the Metropolitan Police interest in this document, we are unable to publish it in early March in the first tranche, but will release it as soon as we are able to do so in consultation with the Metropolitan Police. “There is also a small portion of that material which engages matters of national security or international relations, and thus the role this House has envisaged for the Intelligence and Security Committee, we are working with the committee to establish processes for making this material available to them, and we’re very grateful to the committee in advance of their important contribution to reviewing these documents.” Mr Jones later added that the first tranche will include documents currently held by the Government, besides the previously mentioned exceptions. The subsequent tranches of information will include documents found by various departments through their searches. He said: “Commissions have gone out across Government for those departments to search their archives and databases to bring forward any documents that relate to the terms of the humble address. “And given the depth of the issues raised in the humble address, that of course will take some time to process.” The Conservatives accused the Government of acting “with the urgency of a tired sloth on a bank holiday Monday” in releasing documents. Shadow Cabinet Office minister Mike Wood said: “Careful work must not become a euphemism for managed delay. “It is time the Government stopped treating Parliament like an inconvenient interruption to their schedule, stopped giving every impression that they have priorities working out who’s back to cover, and started providing some actual answers so that we can start to get to the bottom of this murky matter.” Mr Jones responded that the Government was trying to manage a criminal investigation, and “I’m sure the House would not want us to inadvertently interfere with that process”. Lord Mandelson, a political appointment rather than a career diplomat, was sacked from his Washington role in September last year over his links with Epstein, who died in 2019.

Policing minister, and now author, on the King being Duchy of Lancaster the Humble Address – nefarious activities of Mandelson throughout the years. After the scandal of Andrew, the royals owe us transparency about their finances They have the use of 50 residences on estates totalling 250,000 acres and a life of wealth and privilege paid for by the public purse, yet much of their financial lives are shrouded in secrecy. The time has come to open up the books, writes Chris Blackhurst Life will never be the same again for Britain’s royal family. The Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor scandal has rocked the institution to the core. Rather like the banking crisis of 2008, when the authorities were desperate to avoid contagion dragging down other banks, they are keen to prevent the spread. For a body that likes to remain discreet and private, this is a transforming, unnerving prospect. Andrew’s troubles have shone an unwelcome light on not only his, but all of their living and financial arrangements. It’s not that the other royals have anything particular to hide – we don’t know – but rather that so much has hitherto been off limits. To release all the detail, to suddenly go from nothing to everything, as they might well be required to, is bound to provoke shock and anger. This is a family, or “firm”, that likes to control how it’s presented. While this was once justified on the grounds that to let the light in somehow destroys the mystique, those days have well and truly passed. It is hard to see how those guard rails can be preserved when the deference has diminished, and MPs and media are champing at the bit. Even David Dimbleby (David Dimbleby!) has dared to front a documentary that asks, pointedly: What’s the Monarchy for? The National Audit Office is currently investigating Andrew’s use of his former home at Royal Lodge, and its report will be sent to the Commons public accounts committee. Its findings will be published and there will be public hearings. That is just for starters. The probe is not likely to stop there. This is an issue that is not going to vanish. A public struggling with an ever-rising cost-of-living burden, tax increases and a chronic housing shortage will demand answers, not just about Andrew, but about the wider family. They will not be receptive to obfuscation. The genie has been released from the bottle. There can be no going back. A detailed report last year from the anti-monarchy group Republic put the bill for the royal family’s upkeep at more than £500m annually. A substantial portion is derived from the sovereign grant. It comprises profits from the crown estate’s £15bn property portfolio, which covers a large area of London’s St James’s and locations dotted around Britain. Now, people want to know how those revenues are arrived at. Are rents properly and fairly calculated? Do some tenants enjoy more favourable terms than others? These are questions – and there are many, many others – that will require answers. Transparency is the order of the day. Tellingly, given Republic’s ideological antecedents, their study was not challenged by the royal household or its supporters. It prompted Norman Baker, the former Lib Dem MP, to ask in a new book, Royal Mint, National Debt – The Shocking Truth About the Royal Family’s Finances, to highlight that the bill for maintaining the UK royal family “is undoubtedly much higher than that of any other European monarchy”. He contrasts them with other royal families. In the Netherlands, the heir to the Dutch throne, Princess Catharina-Amalia, announced when she was 18 that she would renounce her £300,000 annual income while she was a student and forfeit £1.6m in expenses; in Sweden, the king removed royal titles from five of his grandchildren; in Denmark, the queen took them away from four of her grandchildren, saying it was “for their own good”, while in Copenhagen, Crown Prince Frederik and his wife, Princess Mary, ferry their young children to state school by cargo bike. Writes Baker: “You can never imagine this normality, that informality, with the British royal family.” Here, our equivalents have the use of 50 residences, estates totalling 250,000 acres – among them the well known like Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, Windsor Castle, Clarence House, St James’s Palace, Balmoral, Sandringham, Holyrood, Gatcombe Park, Highgrove, Royal Lodge, Bagshot Park and Thatched House Lodge, but also other Palladian houses and farms. Included in the royal collection, too, are the “grace-and-favour” apartments for servants and former staff and anyone else the King wants to put up. At the last public estimate, there were 272 of those alone. But that figure is cautionary. Because we simply do not know. The bill for maintaining the UK royal family ‘is undoubtedly much higher than that of any other European monarchy 

Mandelson knows where ALL the Socialist-left bodies are buried. Suspicious deaths of Union and Labour leaders – Robin Cook, John Smith. Bob Crow, Alex Salmond. Scalar electronic weapons. Or, more simply, one just meets with a fatal auto accident. Or one gets hit with a little microwave “shooter”, whose wavefront has been carefully modified by the Venus ECM technique. That beam will then dramatically disrupt the receiving heart, throwing it into violent and uncontrolled fibrillation. The target falls, goes into convulsions, thrashes a bit, and expires with a legitimate massive stroke, heart attack, or both. The smaller short range shooter is about the size of a small paperback textbook, and fits inside the assassin’s coat pocket. A larger longer range shooter is about the size of a bazooka. It will shoot right through walls and windows, killing a person inside (the target is usually located with an infrared device which allows the assassin to focus on the target’s body heat, even through the wall or window. Or a professional hit man kills the person, making it appear as some hoodlum committing a robbery or some such. Recently Dr. Gene Mallove, an excellent researcher and a highly dedicated scientist, probably was murdered in this latter type of professional hit manner. Those are just a few of the current methods used of professional clandestine assassination or jailing, used against some EFTV researchers. There are many others. But to seek out what our own science is doing in EFTV research, simply go to the websites of the NAS, NSF, DoE, national labs, and universities and search for any real program or solution that would enable our survival in this three year period we have entered. Cut through the rhetoric and hype and examine for real content that would solve the problem. There is none, and there is not going to be any. Instead, the reader will find that “business as usual” and the interests of the powerful scientific cartels ? hot fusion, nuclear power plants, fuel cells, etc. ? are being pursued, with a little sop to the environmentalists in such things as solar cell array power systems, windmill-powered generating systems, etc.

ACCELERATIONISM UPDATE: 4TH REICH GURU NICK LAND MOVES TO CHURCH OF SATAN HOME, SAN FRANCISCO Steve Hall, polymath and author of ‘The Death of the Left’ – tech elites taking over from democracy. Sunset on the Dark Enlightenment: Inside Nick Land’s San Francisco ‘Arrival Party’ “These ideas, once the fringe premonitions of an early internet cyberpunk, have started influencing the policies of the most powerful people on Earth” From afar, he appeared unassuming, even subdued. Is this really the man, I asked myself, who’s embraced the extinction of the human race? Who’s claimed possession by demons and communed with interdimensional “lemurs,” coined the term “hyperstition,” who left academia after an amphetamine-induced meltdown? Who has predicted the rise of a new kind of post-racial “hyper-racism,” where intelligent elites advance ahead and “genetic refuse” is left behind? Who former CCRU colleague and apprentice-turned-antagonist, the late Mark Fisher, called “our Nietzsche?” He didn’t seem terrifying enough. Facing him, I felt uneasy, unsure how best to approach. I had first encountered Land’s ideas in another life, while teaching in Shanghai. In the years since, his work—which exalts production ahead of people, dismissing humans as meat puppets waiting to be discarded to make way for the alien intelligence that will become the true protagonist of history—has haunted my days and dreams. After learning we shared a city, I often wondered if we’d ever cross paths. In the intervening years, these ideas, once the fringe premonitions of an early internet cyberpunk, have started influencing the policies of the most powerful people on Earth. I walk over and introduce myself. “Nice to meet you,” he says, holding my gaze. He’s genial but there’s an intensity to him, and sheepishly, not knowing what else to say, I ask if I can take his picture. I line up my Sony, but whiff on the first shot, dousing his face in harsh flash. Thinking I’ve fucked my chance, I panic, but he agrees to a second try. Finally, Tivy brings Land on stage. “San Francisco!” the compere shouts. “It’s been a long time coming, but now, finally, let’s say a proper Nick Land acknowledgement!” The crowd bursts into applause at this repeated joke, while several small children crawl around the guest, happy and giggling. Land, unaffected, takes questions from the audience, speaking densely and extemporaneously about Gnostic Calvinism, simulation theory, the inevitability of human death, the nature of cosmic despair. After about an hour, Tivy turns to the audience, and announces that a surprise guest will be joining proceedings. Chest puffed and in aviators, Curtis Yarvin, that other would-be rock star of the neoreactionary scene, emerges from the crowd. “For the record, I’m not wearing these because I’m trying to be cool,” he clarifies from the stage in his distinctive monotone. “I’m wearing them because I lost my prescription.” “Curtis is looking good,” I hear someone whisper. “He must be back on Ozempic.” It’s the first time that the two men have met. Yarvin emerged first under his blogger pseudonym Mencius Moldbug, critiquing modern democracy as a failed system distributively controlled by a leftist “Cathedral” comprised of media, academia, and the bureaucracy, and proposing a CEO-monarch supplant it and take the reigns of power instead. Land wrote admiringly of Yarvin’s work in his 2012 book, The Dark Enlightenment, and ever since, the two have been grouped together, Land serving as a Kant-type underpinning the movement’s cosmological structure, with Yarvin the reactionary Rousseau articulating their political project.

Evidence that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking and blackmail operation had top-level military intelligence clearance to use RAF bases – Epstein using RAF bases for some flights with girls  Defence secretary orders search for evidence Epstein used Royal Air Force bases for sex trafficking Officials to trawl through more than two decades of defence records linked to the late paedophile financier John Healey has ordered a review of military files for any evidence that Jeffrey Epstein used Royal Air Force (RAF) bases to traffic women and girls into the UK. The defence secretary has told officials to search more than two decades of Ministry of Defence (MoD) records and give police any flight logs linked to the late paedophile financier. It comes after former prime minister Gordon Brown wrote to six police forces demanding investigations into whether Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor used jets, funded by the taxpayer, and RAF bases, during his time as trade envoy to meet Epstein. Mr Mountbatten-Windsor and former UK ambassador to Washington, Lord Peter Mandelson, were arrested and released on bail earlier this month over links with the convicted sex offender. A MoD spokesperson said: “The defence secretary has ordered a review of all records that the department may hold relating to Epstein flights landing at RAF bases to ensure that any information which relates to Epstein’s crimes is uncovered and provided to the relevant authorities. “The MoD will support any civilian police investigations. “Our thoughts are with all the victims of Epstein’s vile crimes.” It is reportedly not unusual for spare capacity at RAF airfields to be used for private jets, with private customers charged fees which cover all costs. Such use is only approved when it does not interfere with the security or smooth running of the airfield. Prime minister Sir Keir Starmer on Wednesday dodged calls for a public inquiry into Epstein and his possible use of British airports, saying any police investigations should take their course first.

Ian Huntley, wrongly convicted of Soham murders? Attempted murder of Ian in prison. USAF Mildenhall base near by. 17 Aug 2002 Ian Huntley: patsy for Holly Wells, Jessica Chapman’s USAF Lakenheath child killers? Who Really Murdered Holly Wells & Jessica Chapman? Joe Vialls | 09.09.2002 17:25 Who Really Murdered Holly Wells & Jessica Chapman? British Police continue to torture least likely suspects Ian Huntley and Maxine Carr from Soham Village, while deliberately ignoring thousands of more likely suspects from nearby American Air Force Bases. Two Of Our Little Girls May Have Been Murdered By Us Servicemen. Their Bodies Were Dumped Outside The Perimeter Fence Of Usaf Lakenheath. Not One Us Serviceman Has Yet Been Interviewed. When British police arrested Ian Huntley and Maxine Carr during the early hours of Saturday 17 August, on suspicion of the abduction and murder of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, they did so in the certain knowledge that absolutely no hard evidence existed incriminating either suspect. The reason for the rapid arrests was very simple: Just hours earlier, two small bodies had been found near the perimeter fence at USAF Lakenheath, and the Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street was terrified of a massive political scandal involving American servicemen based in, or transiting through, the United Kingdom. Shortly after the arrests, British and American media organizations demonized Ian Huntley and Maxine Carr so successfully that public attention was diverted away from Lakenheath completely, and focused instead on the young couple from Soham who had earlier willingly spoken to television crews about their concerns for the well being of the two missing 10-year-old girls. Both knew the girls reasonably well. Ian Huntley was the caretaker at their school, and Maxine Carr was a former teaching auxiliary in their class. Millions of viewers around the world watched Ian and Maxine being interviewed by the media, and most were impressed by the openness of their statements and their genuine willingness to help if possible. Experts in non-verbal communication also noticed that Ian and Maxine’s involuntary body and eye movements perfectly matched what they were saying verbally to the journalists. In other words, both appeared to be telling the truth both verbally and non-verbally, an almost impossible feat for even a trained liar to fabricate. It is critical to note here also that both came across on television as perfectly normal, sane individuals, a reality later to be inexplicably challenged by police and psychiatrists in Cambridgeshire. If Huntley and Carr had been involved at all with the abduction and murder of Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, would they have then been stupid enough to run the gauntlet of about 10,000 American servicemen en-route, and dump the two small bodies in a location clearly visible from Lakenheath Control Tower, taxi track, and main runway? A serviceman with detailed knowledge of activities and procedures inside the base might get away with it unseen, but certainly not two civilians from Soham in Cambridgeshire. So the perimeter would be an ideal dumping ground for American servicemen eager to return to “safe” territory at USAF Lakenheath, before either entering their barracks on the base, or catching a shuttle bus to USAF Mildenhall. In an attempt to demonize Ian Huntley still further, police “leaked” the damning information that he had been arrested for rape a number of years earlier. Well, yes, almost. While still a teenager Huntley had consensual sex with his girlfriend, who was only 15-years-old at the time, an offence in the United Kingdom known as statutory rape. He was never charged with an offence however, and his former girlfriend [now age 21 years] recently confirmed it was a mutual crush [love affair], with enthusiastic sexual consent on both sides. So for a while at least, police and media have managed to deflect attention away from the two massive nearby USAF bases at Lakenheath and Mildenhall, and the political minefield lurking just below the surface if the British public ever find out about the very large numbers of children abused, raped, and sometimes murdered by American servicemen on overseas duty. So let us properly consider the “American Connection”, before returning later in this report to the unbelievable ongoing psychological abuse of Ian Huntley and Maxine Carr. Though earlier in the investigation police declared they would be interviewing “700 known sex offenders” of British nationality, there was no mention of interviewing the 10,000+ US servicemen based in close proximity to Soham Village, or determining which other American servicemen has transited through the two bases, and on which flights, since Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman first disappeared. The simple fact that Holly and Jessica’s bodies were found within yards of the USAF Lakenheath perimeter fence, which in turn provides access to the American barracks within, should have had British police knocking on Lakenheath’s front door immediately. Unfortunately, any such action might have accidentally undermined Prime Minister Tony Blair’s personal slavish dedication to George W Bush’s ‘War on Terror.’

Andrei Kelin, Russian Ambassador to UK, on whether British are going to try and get nukes in to Ukraine. Russia claims UK and France are preparing to give Ukraine a nuclear bomb Vladimir Putin’s spokesman said the supply of nuclear weapons to Ukraine would be considered a ‘joint attack’ on Russia (Picture: Andriy Andriyenko) Russia has marked the fourth anniversary of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine by claiming the UK and France are plotting a nuclear escalation in the conflict. A notice released publicly by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service – known as the SVR – says it has received information indicating the two countries want to send Ukraine a ‘wunderwaffe’ weapon. The spy agency said: ‘Kyiv will be able to secure more favorable terms for ending the fighting if it possesses a nuclear bomb or at least a so-called “dirty bomb.” ‘Berlin wisely declined to participate in this dangerous adventure.’ This plan was responding to a recognition that ‘the current situation in Ukraine leaves no chance of achieving their much-desired victory over Russia’, according to the SVR. Downing Street said there is ‘no truth’ to the claims from the agency, suggesting it was ‘a clear attempt by Vladimir Putin to distract’ from his actions in Ukraine. He added: ‘You will have seen the Prime Minister’s words this morning, paying tribute to the incredible resilience of the Ukrainians, and you will have seen the package of action on military, humanitarian, reconstruction fronts announced today, which is a sign of where our support is for Ukraine.’ Responding to the claim in a post on X, the French Foreign Ministry said: ‘Five years into its “three-day war”, Russia would really prefer you focus on French and British nukes.’ Bizarrely, the SVR suggested the West would try to cover up the acquisition of the bomb by making it ‘appear to be the result of Ukrainian development’. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky gives a statement after receiving the 2026 Ewald von Kleist award of the Munich Security Conference (MSC) in the name of the Ukrainian people on February 14, 2026 at the Munich Residence palace in Munich, southern Germany. Ewald von Kleist, founder and long-time guiding figure of the Munich Security Conference, shaped the event for more than 30 years by strengthening the transatlantic security dialogue and helping integrate post-war Germany into NATO and the broader Cold War security framework. Since 2009, the conference has honored outstanding contributions to international understanding and conflict resolution through the Ewald von Kleist Award. (Photo by Michaela STACHE / AFP via Getty Images) Volodymyr Zelensky has suggested Ukraine should either be given nuclear weapons or Nato membershire in the future (Picture: Michaela Stache/AFP via Getty Images) Dmitry Peskov, the top spokesman for President Vladimir Putin, said such a move would be considered a ‘joint attack’ on Russia and called for national and international investigations into the claims. Putin ally and former president Dmitry Medvedev argued it would force Russia to use nuclear weapons on Ukraine and, ‘if necessary, against the supplier countries that become complicit’. Ukraine possessed nuclear weapons in the years after the break-up of the Soviet Union, but gave them up in December 1994 in return for security guarantees from countries including the UK, US and Russia. In October 2024, the country’s President Volodymyr Zelensky suggested this looked like a mistake in hindsight, following the Russian invasion. But he also said that, given the choice between the security provided by a nuclear arsenal or the security provided by Nato membership, he would always choose Nato.

Heiko Khoo protesting outside Palantir building – Palantir worked with Mandelson and Epstein. Palantir, Claude and the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro Each week at our gatherings outside the HQ of Palantir, we will highlight different aspects of what we believe are the immoral, repulsive, and criminal actions and intentions of Palantir, its corporate leadership, and its staff. This week, Palantir initiated a lawsuit against the Swiss publication Republik because of an article about Palantir’s attempts to sell its AI software to Swiss authorities over the last seven years. The article cites an internal report from the Swiss Armed Forces that claims Palantir represents a threat to their reputation and to national security because of the company’s intimate connection to the United States. Palantir is suing Republik to demand a right of reply. Secretary of Defence, Pete Hegseth, sprang into action, proclaiming that the Department of War’s AI “will work for us,” adding, “We’re building war-ready weapons and systems.” The Wall Street Journal claims Palantir played a key role in the terrorist attack on Venezuela. The seizure of President Maduro was carried out citing the preposterous excuse of enforcing a US arrest warrant. Of course, the US has no right to seize an alleged criminal in another country. This would require an extradition request. Donald Trump admitted that he simply wanted to seize control of Venezuela’s oil and control every country in the backyard of the United States. Immediately following this, the Trump administration claimed it had “the right” to seize Greenland and overthrow the governments of Mexico, Colombia, and Cuba. Now its military is preparing a new war of aggression against Iran. The seizure of Maduro matches the dictionary definition of the supreme crime under international law known as the Crime of Aggression. This is defined as: “the planning, preparation, initiation or execution, by a person in a position effectively to exercise control over the political or military action of a state, of an act of aggression… Such an act of aggression includes: • invasion or military occupation, • bombardment, • seizure of territory, • overthrow or control of a government.” Palantir should be investigated for its role in aiding and abetting this Crime of Aggression, for its role in the illegal invasion, in the extrajudicial killings of Maduro’s guards, and in the kidnapping of a head of state. These are acts that constitute Crimes Against Humanity or War Crimes under international criminal law. If any individuals or teams at Palantir’s UK HQ were involved in the planning and execution of the capture of President Maduro, we believe that UK police should investigate their role in the following crimes under UK law:

News Graveyards: How Dangers to War Reporters Endanger the World Journalist Nick Turse (Fellow, Type Media Center) examines how, since the 2000s, national governments and terrorist groups – from Israel, Syria’s Assad regime and the United States to the Islamic State – have found ways to curtail conflict coverage through myriad means, from repressive policies to armed attack. All have killed journalists and helped to foster a culture of impunity, turning conflict zones like Syria and Gaza into “news graveyards.” War Reporters Killed The war in Gaza has, since October 7, 2023, killed more journalists than the U.S. Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (including the conflicts in Cambodia and Laos), the wars in Yugoslavia in the 1990s and 2000s, and the post-9/11 war in Afghanistan, combined. Worldwide, threats to journalists in conflict zones are increasing. In 2023, a journalist or media worker was, on average, killed or murdered every four days. In 2024, it was once every three days. Most reporters harmed or killed, as is the case in Gaza, are local journalists. Not only do local reporters face great risk, standing alone in the face of extraordinary violence; this also impairs news coverage and, as a result, the worldwide information ecosystem. The decreasing number of experienced foreign correspondents in conflict zones, due to long term shifts in the global news industry that have led to the de-prioritization of international news coverage and the closure of foreign news bureaus, has likewise crippled critical knowledge and helped facilitate the creation of news graveyards. Reliable information about wars and conflicts is essential for the wellbeing of local populations and is necessary to enlighten the world on the forces behind wars and the toll on civilians. Nick Turse is a fellow of the Type Media Center and was previously an Ochberg Fellow at the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. He has reported on civilian harm in the Middle East, South Asia, and Southeast Asia and from conflict zones across Africa, including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Libya, Somalia, and South Sudan. He has received a Ridenhour Prize for investigative reporting, a Military Reporters & Editors Association Award for Best Overseas Coverage, and a Deadline Club Award for Reporting by Independent Digital Media.

Jing Xueqin – his idea that extreme Zionists want to accelerate Armageddon by purposefully killing Gazans in the most appalling ways possible. Gaza War—Israel’s Ritual Human Sacrifice? | Prof. Jiang Xueqin – mass killing of enemies in wars. What I will argue though is that the truth is far more disturbing than this. What is really happening in Gaza is a ritual sacrifice and this happens quite often in human history. If you go back and you look at the real history of humanity, this happens quite often. Some of the most famous examples are the Aztecs. We’ve dug up temples of the Aztecs and inside the temples are thousands and thousands of human skulls. So before they went to war, they practiced human sacrifice. They would commit mass murder of their enemies in public. So the Aztecs were really famous for this. The Phoenicians, specifically the Carthaginians, we will discuss them later this semester but the Phoenicians were also famous for a particular type of sacrifice which is child sacrifice. The Romans wrote histories insulting the Phoenicians for practicing this sort of sacrifice. But the Romans themselves practice human sacrifice. What they would do is that after every major war they would capture all the major leaders, all their enemies and they would parade their enemies through the streets of Rome. This is something called the triumph. At the end of the triumph, they would gather enemies at the temple of Jupiter. Jupiter is their god. And then they would strangle to death their enemies. That’s sacrifice. That’s human sacrifice. They didn’t call it that, okay? And they sort of disguised it. But we know for a fact that they did do this. So the question for us is why is it that this happens? Why do the Aztecs do it? Why do the Phoenicians do it? Why the Romans do it? And why is it today the Israelis do it in Gaza? And remember, okay, um what the Israelis are doing is quite horrific because it is really this sort of sacrifice. Why? is 47% almost half of the population of Gaza is under 18 years old. So the majority of people who are getting killed are in fact children. What is most striking or blatant about what’s happening in Gaza is that we can all see it for ourselves. And it’s almost as though the Israelis want us to see it and want us to hate them. Right? You can see all over the world popular opinion is turning against Israel. You have these popular protests all around the world protesting what is happening in Palestine. If they really wanted to do this, right? There are actually much more effective ways of doing this. For example, you could just poison their water or you could poison the ear so that everyone in Gaza gets a fast cancer. Right? We have the technology to do this. So, so Israel could do it this secretly and no one would talk about it and in 20 years time, 30 years time, the population of Gaza would all be gone. It would be a very secret, right? Instead, they choose to do this in front of the world. And my argument to you is that this is intentional.
