Syed Mohammed Marandi, Press TV, on riots in Iran. 60,000 weapons bound for Tehran seized as Mossad-trained terror cell busted Iran’s security forces dismantle Mossad-linked terrorist cell, seize Tehran-bound weapons Iranian security forces say they have seized 60,000 weapons bound for Tehran and dismantled a Mossad-trained terror cell that exploited recent unrest to carry out deadly attacks, as protests that began peacefully spiralled into foreign-backed violence. Iran’s Law Enforcement Command (FARAJA) announced that “Sixty thousand weapons were discovered with rioters in Bushehr”, adding that these weapons were destined for Tehran. According to the statement, two terrorists were also arrested in the operation. Meanwhile, intelligence forces managed to identify and arrest members of “a dangerous and armed terrorist gang” that was tasked with killing people. According to Tasnim news agency, this cell was trained by Mossad in advanced urban warfare methods and was tasked with exploiting the unrest to cause deaths, “having committed numerous terrorist crimes”. After receiving various types of weapons and urban warfare equipment from designated ringleaders, this gang moved through the capital’s streets, and opened fire on people, leaving hundreds of people killed and injured, the report said. Images obtained from the movements of this terrorist gang show the distribution of various types of weaponry, including AK-47 rifles and shotguns, and communication equipment, such as satellite phones, which were used by the trained terrorists to kill hundreds of people. The members of this cell also attacked military and police headquarters, stole weapons and distributed them in order to create an urban warfare and increase the number of deaths. During the operation, “significant amounts of various types of weapons, ammunition, and satellite equipment were discovered and confiscated,” added the report. What began as peaceful protests late last month gradually turned violent, as rioters rampaged through cities across the country, killing security forces and civilians and attacking public infrastructure. Iranian officials have linked the riots and terrorist acts to the US and the Israeli regime. The US and Israel’s Mossad have admitted their involvement on the ground, with former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeting, “Happy New Year to every Iranian in the streets. Also, to every Mossad agent walking beside them.” In a Farsi-language social media post, Mossad encouraged rioters to “Go out together into the streets. The time has come,” adding that Mossad agents are with the rioters “not only from a distance and verbally. We are with [them] in the field.”

Trump on international law being in his mind. Trump: I don’t need international law – only one thing limits my power In an extraordinary interview, Donald Trump defends his record on Venezuela and threats to others nations including Greenland, Colombia and Mexico in the last week Donald Trump has insisted he doesn’t need to abide by international law and the only constraint keeping his power in check is his own morality. In a wide-ranging defence of a week of global provocation, the U.S. president laid out the motivation behind his actions. In the last six days alone, he has launched strikes on Venezuela and captured its president Nicolas Maduro, repeatedly voiced his intention to take over Greenland and claimed that Colombia could be next on his list. “I don’t need international law,” Trump told The New York Times in an interview in the Oval Office. “I’m not looking to hurt people.” Since returning to the White House in January, Trump has successfully tested many of the constitutional and legal limits to his authority – firing the heads of independent agencies, attempting to rewrite the 14th Amendment and punishing federal judges who insist on giving immigrants due process. But the president’s more recent decision to conduct aggressive military operations without congressional consent and threaten to take over allies’ territory has worried international leaders. When asked if there were limits to his power, Trump replied: “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.” The president added that his administration did need to follow international law, but contended that following it “depends what your definition of international law is.” The president also explained how he uses his reputation for unpredictability and his readiness to deploy military action, such as the bombing of Iran, as tools to get other nations to do what he wants. His comments indicate that he believes his use of the U.S. military, economy and political authority to assert dominance over foreign countries could take precedence over following international law or treaties to maintain civility with allies and adversaries. This past week, his administration ramped up rhetoric about the U.S. using military forces to take over Greenland, a Danish territory. “We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security,” Trump told reporters Sunday. Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff for policy, echoed the president’s remarks later on CNN, claiming the U.S. would use its military “unapologetically” and that “nobody is going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland.” Other administration officials, such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, downplayed the reality of a military invasion. The administration’s unabashed bid to take over the island has raised global concerns, especially after Venezuela. When asked whether the U.S. allegiance to NATO outweighed the desire to take over Greenland, the president responded, “It may be a choice.” Explaining why he felt the need to own the island, he told NYT: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success. I think that ownership gives you a thing that you can’t do with, you’re talking about a lease or a treaty. Ownership gives you things and elements that you can’t get from just signing a document.” Trump insisted that his actions in Venezuela would not embolden Chinese president Xi Jinping or Russian leader Vladimir Putin to take further action in their own regions.

The Protagonists, The World Today – David Miller, Tony Gosling on manufacturing consent for regime change in Iran. Manufacturing Consent for Regime Change in Iran on The Protagonists. The World Today Many cannot discern what’s really happening in Iran and what the short term will bring. Is the regime on the edge and will President Trump intervene as he has suggested. What will be the impact of this and will we see more violent deaths? Why is Donald Trump embarking on what seem to be a series of interventions on several “problem” countries. Is he going for regime change or are we witnessing a unique strategy of getting deals done. How reckless or wise this strategy is, whether these are monumental distractions from domestic political and financial problems, or if they will elicit a global crisis. Iran is widely regarded as a highly complex country, stemming from its hybrid political system, diverse society, history and culture, and its challenging geopolitical position and relationship with surrounding countries and ongoing tensions with the United States and Israel. Irans economy has been severely hampered by extensive international sanctions, corruption, high inflation, and unemployment, creating a difficult environment for its citizens. Is the rule of the Mullahs, who have governed Iran for over 47 years, since the 1979 Islamic Revolution overthrew the Pahlavi monarchy over. Do the Iranian people want regime change overseen by American and Israel? The propaganda flooding social media and mainstream media platforms may suggest this. Or are the protests and current volatile environment the result of international manipulation that may again prove ineffective.

BBC – Reed Brody, War Crimes Prosecutor, says Trump’s actions in Venezuela illegal. Well, as somebody who spent my my life helping victims bring brutal leaders to justice, it’s always good to see an abusive dictator in handcuffs. But this operation was a clear violation of the most fundamental rule of international law, the UN charter prohibition on the use of force uh except in self-defense or or pursuant to a security council uh mandate. I mean this brings us back to the world where where might makes right. A return to the law of the jungle and and once that door is open, it applies to anyone. I mean, if the United States can do this, Russia can do it, uh, China can do it, too. I mean, unfortunately, this was a manifestly illegal operation. And with those legal questions over the operation, will that in any way jeopardize the potential for a conviction here? Well, certainly um you know the um first of all under under international law a sitting head of state has immunity from prosecution in the domestic courts of a foreign country. I mean the United States recognizes that rule. Um uh and paradoxically the US Supreme Court recently said that even former American presidents enjoy broad immunity for official acts. But the US is likely to argue in court uh that Maduro wasn’t the legitimate president of Venezuela. And it’s quite possible that the court will defer uh to the president on this issue as it did 36 years ago when the US captured Manuel Noriega. Um but internationally that doesn’t fly. I mean a French the highest French court recently said that if immunity were made conditional on a country recognizing the ruler that that would essentially visiate the the rule of of uh of of immunity. Um uh but the president being set here is extremely dangerous. I mean imagine another country claiming the right to arrest a US president.

Yannis Varoufakis, Jeremy Corbyn, Bronwen Maddox, Malcolm Rifkind – What’s the point of international law? What’s the point of international law? | Yanis Varoufakis, Jeremy Corbyn, Bronwen Maddox, Rifkind Jeremy Corbyn, Yanis Varoufakis, Bronwen Maddox and Malcolm Rifkind defend international law. “In times of war, the law falls silent” declared Cicero. And 2000 years on, it remains unknown whether international law has any real power in war, or whether, in the end, military and economic power are the only ultimately effective forces. International law did not prevent Russia from invading Ukraine, the US from engaging in torture in Guantanamo Bay, Hamas’ attacking Israel on Oct 7th, or Israel from destroying much of Gaza in response. Moreover, Trump appears to have decided that Russia’s military strength in Ukraine is reason to allow it to keep territory. Chairman Mao, it seems, had a point when he said “power grows from the barrel of a gun.” We recognise war as an exceptional circumstance where acts like murder are permitted, should we give up trying to apply the law to it? With the US, Russia and others breaking international law, should we conclude that international law is unenforceable unless imposed by the victor? Or is international law both necessary and vital to contain the worst atrocities? This debate took place at HowTheLightGetsIn in Hay-on-Wye in May 2025. Jeremy Corbyn is a British politician and current independent MP who served as the Labour party’s leader from 2015 to 2020. Bronwen Maddox is the Director and Chief Executive of Chatham House.Yanis Varoufakis is a world-renowned economist, academic, and politician who rose to international prominence in 2015 as Greece’s Minister of Finance.

Peter Oborne, Middle East Eye, on Armenian Christians under attack in Jerusalem. ‘The whole of Christianity is under attack here’ | Oborne Unscripted Peter Oborne In the heart of the old city of Jerusalem, Peter Oborne sits in a makeshift shelter surrounded by rubble and barricades set up to protect one of the oldest Christian community in the world. Speaking to the Armenian community in Israel, Oborne digs into the claims made by Israeli prime minster Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel is a great protector of Christianity. Jerusalem’s Armenian church leaders say Christian Zionism is ‘damaging,’ warn of harm to unity The statement comes after a recent report by the Council of Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem found “threats to Christian heritage.” The Armenian Apostolic Patriarchate of Jerusalem, in a Saturday statement claiming to be from the Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in the Holy Land, condemned Christian Zionism as a “damaging” ideology. The statement, which does not appear on the official website of the Jerusalem Patriarchate nor on its social media, condemned “local individuals who advance damaging ideologies, such as Christian Zionism.” Claiming such actors are working to “mislead the public, sow confusion, and harm the unity of our flock,” the statement alleged that the individuals had found support from political figures in Israel with their own agendas. These political agendas were alleged to have potential harm on the status of “Christian presence in the Holy Land and the wider Middle East.” “To claim authority outside the communion of the Church is to wound the unity of the faithful and burden the pastoral mission entrusted to the historic churches in the very land where our Lord lived, taught, suffered, and rose from the dead,” the statement warned. “The Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem reiterate that they alone represent the Churches and their flock in matters pertaining to Christian religious, communal, and pastoral life in the Holy Land.” The patriarchate was also critical of the way the local individuals had been embraced both nationally and internationally. The circumstances around the statement are unclear. The Jerusalem Post has contacted the officials for clarification. Council of Patriarchs finds threats to Christians in Israel, West Bank, Gaza The statement comes after a recent report by the Council of Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem found “threats to Christian heritage – particularly in Jerusalem, the occupied West Bank, and Gaza alongside issues of unjustified taxation – are the source of ongoing concerns that threaten the existence of the community and the churches.”

#PaxZionica – West Midland Chief Constable sacked over decision to ban Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv football team – Israel lobby in UK sacking Police Chief. British police chief reiterates ‘legitimate’ decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans Chief Constable Craig Guildford of the West Midlands police was speaking to the Home Affairs Select Committee about measures taken before the match against Aston Villa The head of a police force at the centre of a row over a ban on Israeli football fans has defended his decision in front of British MPs. West Midlands police banned fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv from attending the club’s fixture against Birmingham-based club Aston Villa on 6 November over fears of violence in the city. Chief Constable Craig Guildford and Assistant Chief Constable Mike O’Hara appeared before the British parliament’s Home Affairs Select Committee to explain their decision to ban Maccabi fans. The decision sparked outrage within government and amongst the right-wing media establishment, with Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy making unfounded claims that the decision was influenced by antisemitism. Guildford said the decision was not taken lightly and it was a “necessary tactic with a legitimate aim, absolutely not antisemitic, rather a carefully considered, legitimate and necessary measure to ensure public safety”. “I therefore remain satisfied that the policing strategy and operational plan for this match was effective and proportionate,” he added. The West Midlands Police assessment which led to the ban was based on intelligence provided by Dutch police about the conduct of Maccabi fans during a match against Amsterdam in November 2024. A Guardian report on 21 October said that the police assessment “concluded the biggest risk of violence came from extremist fans of the Israeli club”. History of violence Middle East Eye seperately revealed that Dutch police told their British counterparts that over 200 Maccabi Tel Aviv football fans who wreaked havoc in Amsterdam were “linked” to the Israeli military. Documents seen by MEE said hundreds of fans were “experienced fighters”, “highly organised” and “intent on causing serious violence”. Labour pushed to allow Maccabi fans despite police warning on threat to Muslims Read More » Dutch police reported that “significant numbers of Maccabi fans were actively involved in demonstrations and confrontations”. Early reporting by media outlets on the violence in Amsterdam in 2024 characterised the violence as a “pogrom” against Jewish football fans. Footage later emerged of Maccabi fans attacking locals and chanting racist slogans against Arabs. Violence involving Maccabi Tel Aviv fans is not limited to matches outside of Israel. On 19 October, Israeli authorities in Tel Aviv cancelled the match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv due to what police there described as “violent riots”. More recently, video emerged on 29 November of dozens of Maccabi fans launching fireworks at a building containing the apartment housing their manager Zarko Lazetic amid the club’s recent poor run of results. According to the Israeli outlet Ynet, Lazetic has since resigned, telling an associate that he “feels threatened and unprotected”.

Mohammed Hossan – Malaysian Foreign Minister addresses UN general debate 80th session. 80 years after all after the fall of the empires, colonialism is still alive, armed, funded, and justified by some of the supposedly most liberal powers in the world. They have defended and supported the only party who has any real power in a conflict as it makes a a fest out of international law. As we approach the 80th anniversary of the United Nations, Mr. Madame President, I suppose I should say congratulations. But today that word rings hollow. Should we congratulate ourselves on our inability to bring an end to the occupation of Palestine? Or should we congratulate ourself for allowing a rock state to undermine our charter and our efforts? In Gaza, the clock is ticking, the bombs are falling, and the light is fading. We have failed at least 70,000 people. Israel can no longer hide behind its victimhoods. From London to Dhaka, from Paris to Sydney, from Montreal to Kalua Lumpor, populations have spoken out in grief and outrage. More and more people are standing up for the truth that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Remember, the eyes of the world are upon us. We must take action now, M. Madame President, now. sanctioned Israel. The metastasis of Israel’s brutality in Middle East cannot go on. Their latest assault on Dha was not merely an attack on a few representative of Hamas. It was an attack conducted on another state soil and an insult to the efforts of all who have attempted to mediate. And it is a signal that Israel violence will continue to destabilize the region. The effect of this will spill over to the rest of the world. The atrocities may have begun in with Palestine, but they certainly will not end with Palestine.

BBC – Police must declare they’re Freemasons. The Biblical figure King Solomon is central to Freemasonry – his construction of First Temple in Jerusalem is reflected in Masonic ideals of self-development and spiritual growth. Hundreds from Met Police declare Freemasons links More than 300 Metropolitan Police officers and staff have declared their involvement in the Freemasons or other “hierarchical associations” after the force required them to do so last month, a High Court judge has said. The Met announced in December that membership of the Freemasons or similar organisations would be added to its declarable associations policy. Officers and staff were required to declare membership “past or present” of any organisation that was “hierarchical, has confidential membership and requires members to support and protect each other”. The move prompted the bodies representing Freemasons to begin legal action over the force’s decision at the High Court. The United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE), also acting on behalf of the Order of Women Freemasons (OWF) and the Honourable Fraternity of Ancient Freemasons (HFAF), said last month that it was seeking an injunction to suspend the policy until the outcome of the full challenge. In a court order on 2 January, which was published on Monday, Mr Justice Chamberlain said the issue of whether to grant an injunction would be determined by a judge without a hearing this week. He said: “The challenged decision purports to impose a requirement to disclose involvement with Masonic and other associations. “The requirement is applicable immediately. “However, there is no pressing need for immediate interim relief at this stage, given that some 300 officers and staff have already declared their involvement in Masonic and other hierarchical associations.” Chamberlain added that there was no suggestion the Met planned to take disciplinary action officers or staff for not making a declaration “in the next few weeks”. The judge also said the force had “agreed to consider whether to withdraw the challenged decision in the light of representations” from the OWF and HFAF. The force confirmed that 316 officers and staff had declared a membership to the Freemasons or a hierarchical association. A UGLE spokesperson said it came as “no surprise” that many Freemasons complied with the policy as most of their members were “proudly open about their Freemasonry”. They added: “While this policy stigmatises all Freemasons, it is deeply regrettable that those hardworking and honourable men and women that wish to keep their Freemasonry private are being threatened with disciplinary sanction if they do not comply.” They said they now awaited the court’s ruling on their application for an injunction. The Met previously said it would “robustly defend” a challenge against its decision, which it said followed a survey of officers and staff that showed two-thirds of respondents felt membership of such organisations affected perception of police impartiality and public trust. Met commissioner Sir Mark Rowley previously pushed the plan to declare membership as part of wider transparency in the force. The UGLE previously said that the reporting requirement could undermine the public credibility of Freemasons and could breach their human rights and GDPR rules. It also claimed that less than 5% of officers and staff completed the survey on the issue. Freemasonry is a centuries-old fraternal organisation with about six million members worldwide, including more than 200,000 in England and Wales. Its roots lie in witchcraft and the medieval guilds, and members still meet in “covens, or lodges” to carry out secretive blood oaths, initiation rituals and ceremonies. The Biblical figure King Solomon is central to Freemasonry – his construction of First Temple in Jerusalem is reflected in Masonic ideals of self-development and spiritual growth.

BBC – thousands of homes in Kent and SE England without water.  Update on ‘grim’ South East Water crisis as taps run dry for fifth day: ‘People are furious!’ Roughly 25,000 properties across Kent and Sussex remain without water for the fifth day GB News correspondent Sam Francis has delivered a stark update on the escalating water emergency gripping the South East as tens of thousands of Britons now face a fifth consecutive day without water. Roughly 25,000 properties across Kent and Sussex remain without reliable supply, with residents experiencing either completely dry taps or sporadic service at best. Speaking about the situation on GB News, Sam explained: “We are now into day five of what has become a serious water crisis across the South East, with around 25,000 homes affected. “Let’s take a look at this map, which gives a clear picture of where the worst-hit areas are. Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Canterbury, Whitstable and parts of West Sussex are all impacted. For many people, taps are either completely dry or working only intermittently. “So what’s gone wrong? South East Water is blaming a combination of Storm Goretti, freezing temperatures in recent weeks, and a power failure at a pumping station. The company says those issues have led to unexpectedly low reservoir levels and burst pipes across the network. “But this is why people are so angry. Just two weeks ago, more than 24,000 homes in Tunbridge Wells were also left without water. “Now many of the same families are once again without supply and some are being told it may not be fixed until the weekend. GB News host Stephen Dixon said: “I mean, that’s grim, Sam. What do people actually meant to do then if they don’t have any water right now?” “Right now, there are very limited options. South East Water says it has deployed 26 water tankers and distributed around 5,700 bottles so far. People on the priority services register may be eligible for home deliveries details are on the South East Water website. “For everyone else, bottled water collection points are the main option. This morning, areas such as East Grinstead and Tunbridge Wells appear to be the best places to head to. Co-host Ellie Costello asked: “And is anyone being held responsible for this?” Sam explained: “That’s the key question and it’s why the boss of South East Water is now under serious pressure.

Reform hit the ground running in 2026: London Mayoral Race – Laila Cunningham announces she’s running for Reform. Who is Laila Cunningham? The Reform UK candidate for London mayor Nigel Farage said the former criminal prosecutor will be the figurehead for the party’s campaign ahead of May’s elections Ms Cunningham signalled she would focus on a crackdown on crime as Reform’s London mayoral candidate amd took aim at Labour Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan’s record on crime, and said she had a “different message” for Londoners. “There will be a new sheriff in town, and I’ll be launching an all-out war on crime,” Ms Cunningham said. She added: “I will set clear, high-level priorities for the Met to focus on tackling knife crime, drugs, robbery, shoplifting, rape.” She also said she would task the police with “targeting, hunting and prosecuting rape gangs in London”. Asked how she would reduce crime, the Westminster councillor said she would rewrite the London police and crime plan and give “new marching orders” to the Metropolitan Police to “tackle crime that matters”. The Reform mayoral candidate said she would scrap Ulez, the ultra-low emission zone, if she won power in London. Ulez requires drivers to pay a daily charge based on how polluting the emissions from their vehicle are. “I’d scrap Ulez, because I don’t think a war on motorists helps anyone,” Ms Cunningham said. She was less certain about whether she would get rid of the congestion charge, telling a press conference, “you will have to wait and find out”. Pressed about a claim she wanted to restore London to its “glory days” and when she thought those glory days were, Ms Cunningham referred to “when I was growing up”. She added: “When I was growing up, I wasn’t scared to walk down the streets. I knew my local bobby. In fact, when I was growing up, my local teacher lived next to me. Now she can’t afford it. My local bobby lived next to me, now he can’t afford it.” Asked if she wanted to see the Conservatives stand aside for Reform to improve their chances at the next London mayoral election, she did not appear to consider them a threat to her party’s chances of winning. “They can do whatever they want,” Ms Cunningham said.

Deep State infiltrator Nadim Zahawi joins Reform UK: Secret ‘CIA-funded’ group linked to UK ministers. Current education secretary Nadhim Zahawi, a former business minister, is another previous chair of Le Cercle. Zahawi and Stewart both claim, despite their senior roles in Le Cercle, that they don’t know how the networking group is funded. A “Whitehall security source” told the Daily Telegraph that Stewart was an MI6 officer before he entered politics. Kenny MacAskill MP, a former Scottish justice secretary, told Declassified: “Given the nature of this group and its links with other states and security organisations much more candour is required. It’s essential in a democracy that those accepting hospitality from an organisation such as this are fully transparent”. Secret ‘CIA-funded’ group linked to UK ministers Two current ministers and two recent justice ministers have been funded by an opaque transatlantic right-wing group which includes members of the intelligence community. Declassified finds eight current Conservative parliamentarians are associated with the organisation. The group, known as Le Cercle, was described by former Conservative minister Alan Clark in his diaries as “a right-wing think (or rather thought) tank, funded by the CIA, which churns Cold War concepts around”. Le Cercle has existed since the 1950s but has no public presence, and has never revealed its funders. Even the group’s existence is only occasionally disclosed. It is unclear how influential Le Cercle – which is believed to meet twice a year, once in Washington DC and once elsewhere – actually is. Declassified has found that eight current Conservative parliamentarians are associated with the group. Two current ministers – business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng and his deputy minister Greg Hands – have been funded by Le Cercle. Kwarteng was given £5,258 to travel to Bahrain in June 2019 for a trip jointly funded by Le Cercle and the Gulf regime, which is one of the UK’s closest allies. Three former justice ministers are associated with the group. David Lidington, the justice secretary from 2017-18, and Crispin Blunt, a justice minister from 2010-12, were previously funded by Le Cercle to attend meetings in Washington DC and Madrid. Rory Stewart, who served as a justice minister under Theresa May, was previously chair of Le Cercle. Several high-profile US figures are also linked to the group. US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who sat on America’s most powerful court from 1986 until his death in 2016, attended at least one Le Cercle meeting while sitting on the court. Other ministers known to have been funded by the group include former foreign secretaries William Hague and Margaret Beckett, the latter being the only known Labour associate….

Nadine Dorries explains that most of today’s Conservative MPs hold the same views as the Lib Dems. Who has defected to Reform UK from the Conservatives and why? Andrew Rosindell has become the latest Tory MP to defect to Reform UK, criticising the “failure” of his former party in government and opposition. It came after Robert Jenrick defected on Thursday and takes the number of Reform MPs to seven. Here, the Press Association looks at some of the biggest names to defect from the Conservatives to Nigel Farage’s outfit. The Romford MP said a “clear red line” was “the failure of the Conservative Party both when in government and more recently in opposition to actively hold the Government to account on the issue of Chagossian self-determination and the defence of British sovereignty”. – Robert Jenrick The Newark MP, who served as immigration minister in Rishi Sunak’s government, blasted the party he had been a member of for nearly 30 years as he defected to Reform UK on Thursday. He won his seat in a 2013 by-election after sitting Conservative MP Patrick Mercer resigned following a scandal over paid advocacy. Announcing his move at a Westminster press conference, Mr Jenrick said: “I can’t kid myself any more. The (Conservative) party hasn’t changed and it won’t.” – Nadhim Zahawi The former Conservative chancellor, who led the Conservative government’s vaccine programme in the early days of the pandemic, joined Reform UK on Monday. An ex-MP and minister, Mr Zahawi was sacked as Conservative Party chairman in 2023 after he was found to have breached the ministerial code over his tax affairs, later confirming he paid a nearly £5 million penalty to HMRC to settle the issue. In a video message announcing his defection, he said Britain was “drinking at the last-chance saloon” and “really does need Nigel Farage as prime minister”. – Malcolm Offord Reform UK gained its first member of the House of Lords when former peer Malcolm Offord defected from the Tories in December. But he quit the upper chamber on Thursday as he was named the new leader of the party in Scotland. Mr Offord said he will be “campaigning hard” between until Holyrood elections in May. He said: “We (Reform UK) represent ordinary, decent, hard-working Scots who are fed up with mid-table mediocrity in Holyrood. Which is why we will be fielding Reform candidates in all 73 constituencies with one sole objective – to get Scotland back to the top of the table.” – Danny Kruger In September, Danny Kruger became the first sitting Conservative MP to defect to Mr Farage’s party. The East Wiltshire MP was a member of Kemi Badenoch’s shadow front bench when he jumped ship. He condemned his former party as “over” when he left, adding: “We have had a year of stasis and drift and the sham unity that comes from not doing anything bold or difficult or controversial and the result is in the polls. “And those voters aren’t coming back, and every day, more and more people are joining them in deserting the party that has failed.” – Nadine Dorries The former culture secretary declared her former party “dead” when she defected to Reform UK. Announcing her move in September, she said: “My decision to leave the party I’ve served for more than 30 years is possibly the most difficult I’ve ever had to make, and it has taken me 12 agonising months to reach.” Before her election to Parliament as MP for Mid Bedfordshire in 2005, she worked for three years as an adviser to the former shadow home secretary and shadow chancellor Oliver Letwin. Ms Dorries was thrust into the limelight in 2012 when she was suspended from the Conservative Party for appearing on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! without informing the chief whip first. She was readmitted to the party in May 2013. A staunch loyalist to then-prime minister Boris Johnson, Ms Dorries was promoted to secretary of state for digital, culture, media and sport in September 2021. She stepped down as an MP in 2023 after 18 years in the House of Commons. – Lee Anderson Lee Anderson jumped ship to Reform UK, becoming the party’s first MP, after he lost the Conservative whip in February 2024. He had made widely criticised remarks about Sir Sadiq Khan, claiming “Islamists” had “got control” of the mayor and London. The Ashfield MP was made Reform UK chief whip after he won the seat he had held for the Conservatives since 2019 for the party in 2024. He criticised the Tories for stifling free speech as he left to join Mr Farage’s party. “And when I find myself suspended for speaking my mind – and, by the way, speaking up on behalf of millions of people up and down the country who agree with me – that for me is unpalatable,” he said. “It’s a shocker, if I’m honest.” – Dame Andrea Jenkyns Dame Andrea Jenkyns, the Reform UK mayor of Greater Lincolnshire, left the Tory party in November 2024. She had served as Conservative MP for Morley and Outwood in West Yorkshire from 2015 until the 2024 general election, when the constituency was abolished. Appointed assistant whip under the Johnson administration in September 2021, she was made a Department for Education minister in July 2022. When she made the move, she said the Tory party had “become tired”.

Robert Jenrick speech on why he joined reform. BBC – Tory shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick sacked and joins Reform – When I was minister for immigration in late 2022, I fought colossal fights for reductions in legal migration alongside Suela Bravman. There were 23 people in cabinet back then. Just one or two others were with us. Most of the party ultimately wanted what they viewed as cheap labor. And it’s the same on illegal migration. Blair enshrined the ECR into British law. He put the so-called human rights of illegal migrants, of terrorists, of criminals above our national security. But so did the last Conservative government. I will never forget, never forget attending a cabinet meeting in Downing Street where a plan to stop the boats was signed off, but everyone to a man and a woman around that table knew in their hearts it was not going to work. Some even joked about it. I left Downing Street that night, resolved to resign from the cabinet. And I’ve never forgotten that.

Farage still set to be PM. And this isn’t Le Cercle crook Zahawi’s YouGov either… MRP Poll January 2026 13 January 2026 On behalf of PLMR, Electoral Calculus has conducted a new MRP poll. Polling using MRP, which stands for Multi-level Regression and Post-stratification, is a relatively recent innovation in polling science which have been used to successfully predict the last three British general elections, and gives the estimated result in each Westminster constituency. Fieldwork was conducted from 1-8 December 2025, with a sample size of over 5,500 people. The poll places Reform UK on 31pc, ahead of the Conservatives on 21pc with Labour in third place on 17pc. On these figures, Reform is predicted to secure 335 seats with an outright majority of 20, leaving the Conservatives on 92 seats and the Liberal Democrats on 60. Labour would be in sixth place behind the Greens and the SNP. Based on the numbers, if a general election were held now, Nigel Farage could enter Number 10 with a small overall majority. The Conservatives would be the official opposition, with the Liberal Democrats remaining as the third party. The new ‘Your Party’ would win 2pc of the votes and 4 seats, and acts to further fragment the left of British politics. The following Labour cabinet ministers are at risk of losing their seats under our calculations: (To Reform): Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, Pat McFadden, John Healey, Wes Streeting, Bridget Phillipson, Ed Miliband, Liz Kendall, Heidi Alexander, Emma Reynolds, Lisa Nandy, Hilary Benn, Douglas Alexander, Jo Stevens, Jonathan Reynolds, James Murray (To Greens): Sir Keir Starmer, David Lammy, Shabana Mahmood, Darren Jones, Steve Reed, Peter Kyle And the following prominent Conservatives are also at risk (both to Reform): James Cleverly, Mel Stride 2. Tactical Voting Following a major polling project on tactical voting (TV) by Electoral Calculus and Find Out Now, we are able to estimate the effect of tactical voting on the predicted election result. Our TV analysis shows that: Strong anti-Reform tactical voting could cost Reform dozens of seats Over a third of Labour voters say they would vote Conservative to keep Reform out Otherwise voters on the left and right respectively support other candidates on the same side The table shows the predicted vote share and seats won both without tactical voting and with tactical voting. Without tactical voting, Reform UK would gain a landslide majority of 146. When tactical voting is factored in, the picture tightens but the destination barely changes. Reform falls from 398 seats to 335, a loss of 63 seats, most of which would switch to the Conservatives. Yet even with tactical voting and a concerted effort to collaborate from parties on the left, Farage would still be likely to lead the next government.

Matt Ehret and David Livingstone – Armageddon’s stage managers and the secret Nazi script. Globalization and the State: Assessing the Decline of the Westphalian State in a Globalizing World In the year 1648, two treaties signed in the cities of Osnabruck and Munster, collectively known as the Treaty of Westphalia, brought into creation a notion of statehood that would go on to shape and influence the formation of nation states across the world for centuries to come. The Westphalian state is widely believed to be characterized by two distinctive features: Territoriality and Sovereignty. Territoriality is understood as the recognition of humans being organized into exclusive territorial communities that are political in nature and have fixed borders. The Westphalian notion of sovereignty was brought forth to answer the much debated issue of who carried authority and jurisdiction within a nation. Westphalian sovereignty is largely understood as a ruler’s “rightful entitlement to exclusive, unqualified, and supreme rule within a delimited territory” (McGrew, 2014). According to Morgenthau, it is with this notion of sovereignty and the territorial state that the modern conception of sovereignty has developed. Indeed, as borders were restructured throughout the 19th century in Europe and large-scale decolonization took place across the 20th century, empires broke into nations proudly bearing the flag of sovereignty. The absolute and exclusive authority of a state within its territorial boundaries can, in Arnold Wolfers’ notion of national interest and foreign policy, largely be considered a part of its ‘possession goals,’which shape the very environment in which the nation functions. Westphalian sovereignty is largely understood as a ruler’s rightful entitlement to exclusive, unqualified, and supreme rule within a delimited territory. Globalization presents a fundamental challenge to the Westphalian ideal of sovereign statehood. However, despite the seemingly priceless nature of the Westphalia inspired notion of state sovereignty, a potential threat has emerged in the form of the phenomenon of Globalization that has gripped the world since the 1990s. Several scholars posit that globalization presents a “fundamental challenge to the Westphalian ideal of sovereign statehood” (McGrew, 2014) and that major dynamics working in the global economy have the capability to undo the forms of sovereignty and territory embedded in the modern state system (Sassen, 1996). Globalization is a complex and nuanced process to be sure and it is important to try and gauge how far the interconnectivity it has ushered in has affected the quintessential Westphalian notion of state sovereignty. Globalization and Territoriality In order to understand how globalization has affected Westphalian territoriality, it is imperative to gain an understanding of globalization as a process. Steve Smith, Patricia Owens and John Baylis define it as “a process of increasing interconnectedness between societies such that events in one part of the world increasingly have effects on people and societies far away” (Baylis et al. pp 8). Jan A. Scholte conceptualises globalization as, “the spread of transplanetary – and in recent times also more particularly supraterritorial – connections between people” which involves “reduction in barriers.” In their paper, “Globalization and Sovereignty,” Julian Ku and John Yoo define globalization as, “various processes of economic, social, cultural, and political integration across national borders.” No matter how scholars choose to describe, conceptualize and define globalization, they are largely united on the fact that it implies greater interconnectivity across the world. Baylis et al. assert that this interconnectedness is present almost all spheres of social existence, whether one considers international organisations like the IMF and WTO, the activities of Microsoft (through the rapid advancements of technology), Hollywood (through cultural globalization and the internet), as well as spreading of harmful microbes like SARS, Ebola and Zika (through easier transport facilities) and the trade of arms and weapons of mass destruction (through international smuggling).

NOT The BCfm Politics Show CANCELLED and attempts to intimidate us

July 2024 – Tony, Dave and Martin’s NOT The BCfm Politics show was CANCELLED/EVICTED in a no fault, no notice, no appeal, eviction by The People’s Republic of Stokes Croft (PRSC) arts centre – An email from Chloe Slater and Keith Cowling explained that: ‘Transphobic’ leaflets had been left in the building by a recent guest (who denied it) making Transsexual users of the building feel ‘offended’ and ‘unsafe’.

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

February 2019 – Ofcom complaint result: UKLFI exposed as creation of Israeli foreign ministryBristol Post article: BCfm cleared after being reported to Ofcom for anti-semitic conspiracy theories – It could have resulted in BCfm radio station being shut down if the complaint was upheld Tony Gosling reported to Ofcom by UK Lawyers for Israel after being accused of anti-semitism A Bristol radio station, which had one of its programmes reported for anti-semitism and racism has been cleared by Ofcom. The radio regulatory body received a complaint from “UK Lawyers for Israel’ over a show on BCfm radio, hosted by investigative journalist Tony Gosling. The weekly politics show, on the popular community radio station based in Easton, was reported for several allegations on a show which aired on November 23. Tony Gosling, who was a former BBC journalist between 1989 and 1993, has been producing and presenting ‘The Tony Gosling Politics’ show every week on BCFM radio for 11 years. They have released a statement which reads: “Whilst we are supportive of all our volunteer presenters, The Tony Gosling Politics Show only represents approximately ten percent of our political output content wise, and less than two per cent of our entire weekly output.” Mr Gosling’s programme looks at local politics and he interviews a range of councillors and MPs in the city. The show is also perhaps more well known for its alternative look at international politics, and he has a cult following online from across the world. Mr Gosling has made regular appearances on national media including the politics show with Andrew Neil on BBC One, and international channels such as Russia Today, Channel1 Russia, NTV, and recently for both Turkish and Lebanon TV.

November 2012 – Tony gets death threats on the phone from the Jewish Defence League – ‘you’re a dead man walking’ – a man calls him and Tony records the call. Audio of UK Jewish Defence League (JDL) death threat against British journalist Tony Gosling (2012) – Avon and Somerset police Special Branch investigate, trace the caller, and after six months report to Tony that the individual has been served a caution that they will proceed with a prosecution for harassment under the 1861 offences against the person act. Seems pretty clear this death threat was issued alongside the lies, copied below, which were published on their blog by London based UK JDL in November 2012.  Firstly Tony Gosling is not a ‘homophobe’. That accusation was first made in an article published by the ‘Harry’s Place’ blog, penned by Zionist David Toube and propelled by him anonymously into Private Eye in 2008. It refers to Gosling’s criticism of senior teachers at Bannerman Road Primary school in Bristol who used homosexual early learning picture books against the express wishes of the parent governors. His criticism was about the deception by teaching staff not because of the homosexual content of the books. Secondly, if you follow the JDL link you’ll find what Tony Gosling actually says about the ‘Protocols Of The Learned Elders Of Zion’ says “…I don’t think there is much doubt that the Protocols are fake…” Thirdly he is not a member of Bristol Palestine Solidarity Campaign and has never been to any of their meetings.

Autumn 2014 – Tony’s documentary production and distribution business shut down by its bank. Our thriving Co-op business bank account ordered closed for undisclosed reasons. Tony Gosling and Ben Edwards founded i-Contact Video Network to distribute documentaries on VHS video and DVD and to make their own documentaries as well as attend news events and sell video footage to TV news channels. Amongst the films we distributed were Operation Solstice, Coconut Revolution, Mark Purdey and Organophosphates, McLibel, 9/11 In Plane Site, Ludicrous Diversion and The Battle of Trafalgar. These, plus books, and even a board game about drug dealing ‘Dollars and Dibble’, were all available via mail order and we supplied libraries around the world too. The bank had clearly been ordered to investigate us for money laundering, although they never admitted it. All the questions they asked Ben and I were about proving our identity through passports etc.. When we did, yet more letters kept arriving demanding more proofs, birth certificates etc. and eventually when one of us missed supplying the required information, within a week or so of being asked, the account was summarily closed and we got a cheque made out to one of us with the few hundred pounds that was in the business bank account. Since neither of us could get a business bank account up and running for at least a few months and the bank account meant nobody could any longer use the website, we made the reluctant decision to shut it down. Thus was a thriving business killed off by the Co_operative bank. Having said that, co-op were not quite the worst. We did apply to open an account at Bristol’s ‘ethical’ Triodos bank, who proceeded to string us along for several months and then said our business was too risky for them to provide an account!

Part One – Local and National News Review

BBC Sunday Worship – William Tyndale from Gloucestershire – who translated the Bible from Latin into English – but was burnt at the stake in Holland. 10 years later his Bible in every Church. In 1526 a book – smuggled into England from the continent – was considered so dangerous that the Bishop of London had as many copies as he could find burnt – in St Paul’s churchyard where I’m standing. The book was the New Testament, translated into English by William Tyndale – His work was to cost him his life – but 12 years after the Bishop’s bonfire Henry’s Monastery-dissolving tyrant Thomas Cromwell ordered a copy of the Bible in English to be placed in every parish church in the land. Today we give thanks for the life and work of Tyndale and for the riches he bequeathed to us. William Tyndale was born in Gloucestershire in around 1494. He was a priest and scholar, a brilliant linguist who famously vowed to “cause the boy who drives the plough” to know more of the scriptures than the powerful and learned. But England in the 1520s was a dangerous place for the work of translation. Diarmaid Macculloch is Emeritus Professor of the history of the church at Oxford University Interview with Professor Diarmaid Maculloch on why translating the Bible into English was so dangerous, how Tyndale died, and Thomas Cromwell’s role in ensuring a copy of the Bible in English was placed in every parish church. Dr Paula Gooder, Canon Chancellor at St Pauls, the Tyndale translation of the New Testament, the cathedral’s copy of Tyndale’s New Testament and his genius for translation. There will be events up and down the country this year, marking the anniversary of Tyndale’s translation. But one Cheshire town has already stolen a march on the celebrations, As part of its annual festival, Churches Together in Lymm organised a Tyndale 500 programme, showcasing the Bible through readings exhibitions and the performing arts. Miranda: Often in a Sunday worship the gospel will be followed by a sermon. But in the spirit of Tyndale who put the scriptures into our hands in our own language I’m here with the some of the people of Lymm to consider what this passage might mean to us today. Almighty God, we thank you for revealing yourself to your world, in the beauty of creation, in the incarnation of your Son Jesus, and in the witness of the Holy Scriptures. We thank you for all those who in countless generations have passed on the scriptures to us. We thank you for the skills of translators and scholars; of readers, preachers, composers and lyricists; and for all those involved in the printing and distribution of Bibles throughout the world. We pray for those who risk danger simply by owning a Bible, or by challenging those who seek to enforce one reading of it. We pray for all those who are persecuted for their faith; and for a world in which your peace, love and justice may prevail. Closing music.

BBC fake journalism not allowing use of word ‘kidnap’ or ‘Zionism’. Kidnap of Maduro and wife from Venezuela – problems with the trial in US. Trump’s speech about Venezuela operation – he wanders off script and says ‘ attack on sovereignty’. Trump leads world into geopolitical Wild West where might makes right, while laws and rules fall away “American dominance in the Western Hemisphere will never be questioned again,” President Donald Trump declared after United States forces hit various Venezuelan targets and elite commandos carried out the capture and rendition of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife with an audacious raid in the dead of night. “American dominance in the Western Hemisphere will never be questioned again,” President Donald Trump declared Saturday, after U.S. forces hit various Venezuelan targets and elite commandos carried out the capture and rendition of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife with an audacious raid in the dead of night. “Under the Trump administration we are reasserting American power in a very powerful way in our home region.” The world is still digesting the consequences of the U.S. intervention, which the Trump administration has tried to characterize as a “law enforcement” mission against Maduro, indicted in U.S. federal court on charges of narco-trafficking, rather than the clear military operation in a foreign nation that it appeared to be. Some Venezuelan military positions were leveled by U.S. strikes, with officials reporting an unspecified number of casualties. Maduro is already in New York City, awaiting an appearance in court. For many Venezuelans, especially millions of people compelled to flee from the country over the past decade of economic catastrophe under Maduro’s watch, his removal is joyous news, and the first step to a happier future. On that count, the U.S. operation was a clear tactical success in its brazen precision and efficacy. Still, the likelihood of a strategic failure looms. A dark history of failed U.S. interventions and regime-change projects haunt the current action. Boosters of the move liken it to the capture of Panamanian dictator Manuel Antonio Noriega in 1989, with U.S. criminal investigations into money laundering and drug smuggling justifying the operation. But the analogy to the present collapses amid Trump’s talk of open-ended control over Venezuela and its tremendous oil wealth. By the end of the weekend, the White House had done little to dispel the confusion about what comes next in Venezuela. Trump himself suggested the United States would somehow “run” the South American nation until a proper transition away from the current dispensation could be forged. His lieutenants were more circumspect, emphasizing U.S. interests in dismantling alleged criminal networks within the Venezuelan state apparatus and reasserting American control or influence over Venezuela’s vast oil sector. Venezuela’s pro-democracy opposition voiced fears that they would be cut out in a Trump-brokered deal with the remnants of Maduro’s regime. Speaking to the Atlantic, Trump said that he expected Maduro’s former vice president — and hastily installed successor — Delcy Rodriguez to essentially do the White House’s bidding. “If she doesn’t do what’s right,” he said, “she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro.” The rest of the world has watched with mixed emotions. Many in Latin America, especially among the ascendant, Trump-aligned political right, cheered Maduro’s ouster and what seems a grievous blow to the region’s remaining left-leaning autocracies. Elsewhere, world leaders feared a grim precedent. “The bombing of Venezuelan territory and the capture of its president crosses an unacceptable line,” Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said. “The action recalls the worst moments of interference in Latin American and Caribbean politics, and threatens the regional preservation as a zone of peace.” French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot shed no tears for Maduro in a statement but said the U.S. action “contravenes the principle of the nonuse of force that underpins international law.” He warned that it was part of the steady erosion of international norms, worsened by countries such as Russia that are supposedly the guarantors of the rules-based order. “The growing number of violations of this principle by nations vested with the primary responsibility of permanent membership on the United Nations Security Council will have grave consequences for global security, sparing no one,” he said. Trump’s move into Venezuela is another nail in the coffin of the old postwar status quo. The White House reneged on commitments to receive authorization from Congress before deploying the U.S. military in Venezuela. Ahead of Monday’s emergency U.N. Security Council session on Venezuela, Trump’s U.N. ambassador, Mike Waltz, scoffed at the “hand-wringing” of his diplomatic counterparts. In a Sunday television interview, Secretary of State Marco Rubio waved away concerns about an open-ended regime change mission as a kind of “phobia.”…

Ukraine war – 2 attacks over festive period – one on Putin, the other on a NYE party in Ukraine. NYE fire in Swiss nightclub covered thoroughly in press, but not Ukraine NYE party bombing, so was the Swiss New Years Eve fire deliberate, to distract from NATO’s deliberate Kherson bombing. Russian general accuses UK spies of deadly New Year ‘terror attack’ in occupied Ukraine A senior Russian military official has accused British intelligence services of being involved in a New Year’s Eve drone strike in Russian-controlled parts of southern Ukraine. The attack struck a festive gathering in the village of Khorly, leaving at least 27 dead, including two children, and dozens injured. This accusation comes as Moscow ramps up claims of foreign interference, threatening to derail fragile peace negotiations. call to action icon Major General Apti Alaudinov, a prominent Kremlin figure, unleashed the allegations in a fiery statement, claiming the strike was designed to sabotage any chance of a truce between Russia and Ukraine. ‘The strike carried out against civilians celebrating the New Year in the Kherson region once again proves that the Ukrainian side is doing everything possible to ensure that there will be no peace agreement,’ Alaudinov said. He went further, asserting that ‘behind all these actions stand representatives of foreign intelligence services, first and foremost those of England and European states.’ The incident happened in Khorly, a coastal resort in the Russian-controlled Kherson region, where revellers had gathered at a cafe and hotel to welcome 2026. Regional official Vladimir Saldo, installed by Moscow, painted a grim picture: ‘The bodies of the dead were almost completely burned, like in a nuclear strike,’ he said. Initial reports put the fatalities at 24, but the toll climbed to 27 as more bodies were recovered from the rubble. Among the identified victims was Sergei Bohan, a 55-year-old police chief in the occupied area of Kalanchak, raising questions about whether the site was purely civilian. Russia labelled the event a ‘terrorist attack’ and a ‘massacre,’ withdrawing a list of victims from public view after claiming a Western hack. Ukraine has vehemently denied orchestrating the strike on civilians. Dmytro Lykhoviy, a spokesperson for Ukraine’s General Staff, dismissed the claims as ‘disinformation and fake statements’ aimed at swaying international partners and peace talks. ‘The Armed Forces of Ukraine adhere to the norms of international humanitarian law and strike exclusively at the enemy’s military targets,’ Lykhoviy stated. He emphasised that Kyiv focuses on reducing Russia’s military capabilities, such as targeting oil refineries. call to action icon Independent verification remains challenging in the fog of war, but Reuters reported similar details, confirming at least 24 deaths and noting Russia’s call for international condemnation. Al Jazeera echoed this, highlighting Moscow’s accusation of a ‘war crime’ while underscoring Ukraine’s stance against civilian targets.

Four Generals say to Starmer – cut AID to Israel now. Ex-senior army officers urge UK to ‘cut all military collaboration with Israel’ Former servicemen call on Keir Starmer to suspend all involvement with Israel-linked defence firms ‘to avoid the charge of complicity’ Four senior former army officers have written to the UK prime minister calling for a full arms embargo on Israel and a suspension of involvement with any Israel-linked defence firms. The Times reported on Tuesday that the signatories told Keir Starmer that despite the ceasefire in Gaza, “now is not the time to return to business as usual with the Israeli government”. They called on sanctions on the Israeli government to go further. Among the letter’s signatories was John Deverell, who served in the British army for more than three decades. He was also defence attache in Saudi Arabia and Yemen, including at the time of the 11 September terror attacks. The other signatories were Andrew Graham, the former director general of the UK defence academy; Peter Currie, a retired major general, and Charlie Herbert, a former senior army commander in Afghanistan. The letter strongly rejected a claim that Israel’s military followed similar protocols to the British military. A senior defence ministry official said that “Israel appears to have thorough and rigorous processes for the conduct of hostilities and targeting, that in many respects resemble our own” – an assertion that was cited by the UK government in a legal case on arms exports to Israel last July. The former senior officers rebutted the claim, stating that there were clear differences. They cited Israel’s use of indiscriminate munitions that had led to “exceptionally disproportionate and avoidable civilian fatalities and widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure”. They added that evidence of Israeli war crimes was “so well documented and compelling that the British government should cut all military collaboration with Israel forthwith, to avoid the charge of complicity”. The sanctions that should be imposed, the signatories said, include RAF and British contracted aircraft not being used for any purpose connected with the Israeli military, and a suspension of all military technology transfer. In September, the UK announced that it was banning Israelis from enrolling at the Royal College of Defence Studies, a prestigious military academy. The UK was accused of complicity after carrying out near daily reconnaissance flights over Gaza during the war. The flights stopped after the ceasefire. In addition, despite a partial suspension of arms sales to Israel over the war on Gaza, approved UK arms exports to Israel have skyrocketed under the Labour government. Export data released in May showed that 20 different licences in categories such as military aircraft, radars, targeting equipment and explosive devices, were approved between October and December 2024. Arms campaigners said the three-month total was more than what was approved altogether under the Conservative government between 2020 and 2023…

Kier Starmer on US abduction of Maduro. Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State, on Venezuela operation. Starmer sticks to strategy of avoiding criticism of Trump over Maduro In Labour’s general election manifesto, on page 117, external in case you wanted to check, the party promised to be “a defender of the international rule of law”. Not a wildly controversial line, nor a surprising one, given Labour’s leader, Sir Keir Starmer, is a former international human rights lawyer. And yet here we are, days after America seized the Venezuelan president and his wife from the country’s capital Caracas, and the prime minister’s language about whether that amounted to a breach of international law is circumspect. In the immediate aftermath of Washington’s extraordinary actions, Sir Keir’s words could hardly have been more bland given the gravity of what we were witnessing. In a social media post, external, he talked about “a transition of power” in Venezuela being something the UK had long supported. But what about how it was brought about? His answers, or lack of them, are the latest case study in No 10’s handling strategy of a maverick US president: don’t commentate, act in what they believe is a pragmatic, sober way and have discussions in private. Notably, the prime minister hasn’t spoken to President Trump since Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were, as Washington puts it, captured. Strategically, the prime minister decided a year or so ago, once he knew Donald Trump was returning to the White House, that he would resist the temptation to offer a running public commentary on what was highly likely to be a – literally – remarkable presidential term. To do so, he calculated, would risk ongoing public spats with not just the most powerful man on the planet, but someone with near zero compunction when it comes to spectacularly falling out with people. Better, instead, Sir Keir concluded, to be cautious and revere the upsides of a decent relationship with the White House, something the prime minister is proud to have secured. His supporters point to, for instance, the deal the government secured with Washington to limit the impact of tariffs imposed by the White House last year – a deal, ministers believe, was the difference between thousands of jobs being retained by Jaguar Land Rover in the UK and them going. Sounding off about President Trump, his allies say, might be tempting but would not only be “juvenile” as one put it, but not be in the UK’s best interests. The government’s equivocation has been pounced on by its critics, within the Labour Party and beyond.

Delta Force dealing drugs to US from Venezuela? Drug Trafficking in U.S. Special Forces: Journalist Seth Harp on ‘The Fort Bragg Cartel’ President Trump recently threatened to use U.S. special forces to fight drug cartels in Mexico. But New America Fellow Seth Harp found that members of the U.S. military elite that Trump wants to deploy have actually collaborated with cartels in narco-trafficking schemes. In his debut book The Fort Bragg Cartel: Drug Trafficking and Murder in the Special Forces, out today, Harp investigates a string of unsolved murders at America’s premier special operations base and uncovers its connection to drug trafficking, fueled by a culture of cover-ups and corruption. The Fellows program recently caught up with Harp about discovering a dark ripple effect of America’s “forever wars,” telling a true crime story about the military as a veteran, and building more transparent armed forces. How did you first come across this story of corruption in the U.S. military, and what compelled you to pursue it? In December 2020, I learned that two special operations soldiers had been found murdered at a remote training range on Fort Bragg, and that police did not have a suspect. That in itself was worth investigating. But then I learned that one of the victims was an active-duty operator on Delta Force, the most elite unit in the U.S. military, and was suspected of dealing drugs on base. At that point I knew there had to be more to the story—a lot more. You served in the United States Army Reserve and did one tour of duty in Iraq. How did your military experience shape your approach to investigating this story? Were there times where it helped—or perhaps even hindered—your work? I actually served in Iraq at the same time that my main character of the book, Billy Lavigne, did his first tour there. Although it took longer for him to lose faith in the post-9/11 wars, we both became disillusioned with the military and U.S. foreign policy as a result of events in Iraq. That sympathetic connection enabled me to much better understand his state of mind around the time that he went to work trafficking drugs in conjunction with an international drug cartel. The book is classified as true crime, but it also delves deeply into history and politics. What draws you to true crime storytelling? How do you balance the benefits of telling these stories with the ethical challenges that come with the genre—such as the risk of sensationalizing crimes and the exploitation of participants? Concerns about sensationalizing crimes and exploiting participants never entered into my thinking because I was scrambling to keep up with real events that were unfolding in real time. If anything, I was too hesitant in the beginning to publicize some of the most sensational allegations that I heard from my sources, including the existence of a cartel-like structure on Fort Bragg made up of Special Forces soldiers who were trafficking drugs from abroad into the United States. I later came to find out that such claims were no exaggeration at all. Your reporting has uncovered a culture of drug use and trafficking within elite military circles. What have you learned about that culture, and what discoveries surprised you most during your investigation? I was most surprised by how open and accepting my military sources were of widespread drug use in the Special Forces in general and Delta Force in particular. The attitude of tacit acceptance that prevailed was surprising because civilians have a very different picture in mind of elite troops, a carefully cultivated image jointly created by the Pentagon and Hollywood that fails to capture the lawlessness and hard-partying lifestyles of real-life special operations soldiers.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s brother in law is 15 million dollars cocaine trafficker. Marco Rubio’s Brother-in-Law, Orlando Cicilia, Was a Prolific Cocaine Trafficker whose $15m racket earned him 35 years inside While Trump deports immigrants for old drug charges, Rubio’s brother-in-law was the frontman of a drug trafficking operation. Almost 40 years ago, a Cuban immigrant was arrested and convicted of distributing $15 million worth of cocaine as part of a major drug ring operating out of South Florida. The man stored kilos of cocaine in a spare bedroom inside his West Kendall home to later smuggle around the United States in cigarette cases. During Miami’s Cocaine Cowboy era of the 1970s and ’80s, Orlando Cicilia played a major role in an international drug ring, using an exotic animal business as cover. Mario Tabraue, who would later allow spotted leopards to roam free inside his Coconut Grove estate, was the boss of the operation, but Cicilia was the frontman. In 1989, Cicilia was sentenced to 35 years in prison. He was released early in 2000. Decades-old drug offenses, often much less serious than Cicilia’s charges, have come back to haunt immigrants living in South Florida as President Donald Trump unleashes his hard-line immigration agenda. Juan Erles González, a 56-year-old Cuban immigrant who served 18 months in prison for conspiracy to possess with the intent of distributing cocaine nearly two decades ago, now faces deportation. Back in July, 75-year-old Isidro Pérez died in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody after immigration officers picked him up at a community center and charged him with “inadmissibility pursuant to the Immigration and Nationality Act.” In the 1980s, he was convicted of marijuana possession and sentenced to 18 months in prison. In July, 75-year-old Isidro Pérez died in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody after immigration officers picked him up at a community center and charged him with “inadmissibility pursuant to the Immigration and Nationality Act.” In the 1980s, he was convicted of marijuana possession and sentenced to 18 months in prison. While the Trump administration is busy deporting immigrants with previous petty drug offenses, a member of the president’s cabinet, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has a brother-in-law who served over a decade in prison on federal drug charges after emigrating to the U.S. from Cuba. His name? Orlando Cicilia. When Rubio was 16, Cicilia, who is married to Rubio’s older sister Barbara, was arrested on federal drug charges for dealing cocaine. After Cicilia immigrated to Miami in 1972 when he was 15, he met Barbara in high school, and the pair started dating. Barbara ended up staying in Miami with Cicilia when Rubio’s father got a bartending gig in Las Vegas in 1979. The Rubio family decided to move back to Miami two years later and temporarily lived at Cicilia’s home in West Kendall. The family, including 14-year-old Rubio, lived at the house around June 1985 until July 4. At that point, his brother-in-law played a significant role in the $75 million drug operation, right out of his home. One of Cecilia’s drug runners later testified at trial that he cut and stored massive amounts of cocaine in his spare bedroom between March 1985 and January 1986. Rubio wrote in his memoir, An American Son, that he would visit the home every week to help care for their seven Samoyed dogs, all while his brother-in-law ran this prolific drug operation out of the house. He maintained that he and his family were not aware of Cicilia’s drug dealing at the time, although two law enforcement officials previously told New Times that they found it hard to believe.

The School of the Americas (SOA) is a U.S. military-training institute for Latin American security personnel located at Fort Benning, Georgia. Renamed the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC) in 2001, the school has trained assassins, death-squad leaders, and human-rights abusers for dirty work in Latin America since its founding in 1946. Dubbed the “School of Assassins,” the SOA/WHINSEC has become synonymous with torture and military repression for millions around the world. – The SOA’s activities first came to public light in connection with a series of highly publicized murder and torture cases–some involving U.S. citizens. In 1980, a Salvadoran death squad assassinated Archbishop Oscar Romero. Just months later, Salvadoran soldiers raped and murdered three American nuns and one missionary. Then, in 1989, Salvadoran soldiers executed six Jesuit priests, their housekeeper and her 16-year-old daughter at Central American University. As the death toll mounted, the murders were coming closer to home. Sister Diana Ortiz, an American nun, brought the story of her abduction, rape and torture in 1989 at the hands of an SOA graduate to Washington D.C., where she held a week-long vigil that embarrassed Washington officials.  –  Graduates have a long history of participating in and orchestrating killings, rapes, targeted violence, and the suppression of popular movements. Research continues to turn up SOA grad involvement in human-rights violations across the Americas. Around 1,000 students per year receive training at the SOA/WHINSEC. Courses are taught in Spanish. The SOA/WHINSEC is paid for with U.S. taxpayer dollars, money for foreign military training that is authorized by Congress each year. In 1996, the Pentagon, under intense public pressure, released training manuals used at the school for at least a decade that advocated torture, extortion, and execution. Despite this shocking admission—as well as hundreds of documented human-rights abuses connected to soldiers trained at the school over its long history—no independent investigation into the training facility has ever taken place. Among those targeted by SOA graduates are educators, union organizers, religious workers, student leaders, and others who work for the rights of the poor. Hundreds of thousands of Latin Americans have been tortured, raped, assassinated, “disappeared,” massacred, or forced into refuge by those trained at the School of Assassins. The purpose of the School of the Americas has always been to control the economic and political systems of Latin America by aiding and influencing Latin American militaries. One former SOA instructor, U.S. Army Major Joseph Blair (Ret), explained: “The hope is that close personal contacts developed at Fort Benning will result in future U.S. potential to influence Latin American governments.” Unjust economic policies opposed by the majority of Latin Americans cannot be implemented and enforced by governments without strong military support. George Kennan, a central policymaker for the U.S. State Department, explained in 1948: The SOA is part of a tradition and system of white supremacy. The purpose of the school is to maintain U.S. hegemony over the Western Hemisphere, and it is also a tool to maintain white supremacy over the non-white populations of this hemisphere. Working for justice for the people of the Americas in a principled way means that we have to address white supremacy as one of the root causes of oppression. From police killings of black and brown people inside the United States, to attacks on Muslim communities, to the U.S.-supported military coup in Honduras, we’ve seen that the school is not an aberration of U.S. policy, but a clear illustration of it.

Maria Corina Machado, Venezuelan opposition leader, in power? Assange has a case against her win. Chavez poisoned? – unusual cancer. Bolivarian tradition of socialism in South America. The Strange Death of Hugo Chavez: An Interview with Eva Golinger Investigative journalist Eva Golinger argues that the late Venezuelan leader may have been assassinated by close aides who fled the country following his death. “Hugo Chavez defied the most powerful interests, and he refused to bow down….I believe there is a very strong possibility that President Chavez was assassinated.” MW– Do you think that Hugo Chavez was murdered and, if so, who do you think might have been involved? Eva Golinger– I believe there is a very strong possibility that President Chavez was assassinated. There were notorious and documented assassination attempts against him throughout his presidency. Most notable was the April 11, 2002 coup d’etat, during which he was kidnapped and set to be assassinated had it not been for the unprecedented uprising of the Venezuelan people and loyal military forces that rescued him and returned him to power within 48 hours. I was able to find irrefutable evidence using the US Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), that the CIA and other US agencies were behind that coup and supported, financially, militarily and politically, those involved. Later on, there were other attempts against Chavez and his government, such as in 2004 when dozens of Colombian paramilitary forces were captured on a farm outside of Caracas that was owned by an anti-Chavez activist, Robert Alonso, just days before they were going to attack the presidential palace and kill Chavez. There was another, lesser-known plot against Chavez discovered in New York City during his visit to the United Nations General Assembly in September 2006. According to information provided by his security services, during standard security reconnaissance of an event where Chavez would address the US public at a local, renowned university, high levels of radiation were detected in the chair where he would have sat. The radiation was discovered by a Geiger detector, which is a handheld radiation detection device the presidential security used to ensure the President wasn’t in danger of exposure to harmful rays. In this case, the chair was removed and subsequent tests showed it was emanating unusual amounts of radiation that could have resulted in significant harm to Chavez had it gone undiscovered. According to accounts by the presidential security at the event, an individual from the US who had been involved in the logistical support for the event and had provided the chair was shown to be acting with US intelligent agents. There were numerous other attempts on his life that were thwarted by the Venezuelan intelligence agencies and particularly the counterintelligence unit of the Presidential Guard that was charged with discovering and impeding such threats. One other well known attempt was in July 2010 when Francisco Chavez Abarca (no relation), a criminal working with Cuban-born terrorist Luis Posada Carriles, responsible for bombing a Cuban airliner in 1976 and killing all 73 passengers on board, was detained entering Venezuela and later confessed he had been sent to assassinate Chavez. Just five months earlier, in February 2010, when President Chavez was at an event near the Colombian border, his security forces discovered a sniper set up just over a quarter of a mile away from his location, who was subsequently neutralized. While these accounts may sound like fiction, they are amply documented and very real. Hugo Chavez defied the most powerful interests, and he refused to bow down. As head of state of the nation without the largest oil reserves on the planet, and as someone who openly and directly challenged US and Western domination, Chavez was considered an enemy of Washington and its allies. So, who could have been involved in Chavez’s assassination, if he was assassinated? Certainly it’s no far stretch to imagine the US government involved in a political assassination of an enemy it clearly – and openly – wanted out of the picture. In 2006, the US government formed a special Mission Manager for Venezuela and Cuba under the Directorate of National Intelligence. This elite intelligence unit was charged with expanding covert operations against Chavez and led clandestine missions out of an intelligence fusion center (CIA-DEA-DIA) in Colombia. Some of the pieces that have been coming together include the discovery of several close aides to Chavez who had private, unobstructed access to him over prolonged periods, who fled the country after his death and are collaborating with the US government. If he were assassinated by some kind of exposure to high levels of radiation, or otherwise inoculated or infected by a cancer-causing virus, it would have been done by someone with close access to him, whom he trusted.

BBC – Michelle Fleury – record highs on US stock exchange after Venezuela operation. US Takes Maduro Hostage For Oil: BBC Business Market Reaction after US Markets close on Mon05Jan25 The U.S. is planning big changes for Venezuela’s oil industry after ousting the country’s president. Shares of a handful of U.S. companies stand to benefit from the upheaval. Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Wednesday said that the U.S. will control Venezuelan oil sales “indefinitely,” funnelling proceeds to American banks and rolling back sanctions that have choked the country’s crude exports for years.1 Refiners Valero Energy Corp. (VLO) and Phillips 66 (PSX) rose on the news. Chevron (CVX) is the only U.S. oil major still operating in Venezuela. That head start could be worth billions if the Trump administration follows through on its promise to rebuild the country’s energy sector. Venezuela has more proven reserves than any other country, but years of economic turmoil, corruption and sanctions have dramatically curtailed its ability to produce and export oil. So which stocks are positioned to gain from a revitalization of Venezuela’s oil industry? Stocks Positioned For Gains Normally, U.S. investors can access foreign markets through brokers who can trade stocks on foreign stock exchanges or American depositary receipts (ADRs) that let them trade foreign stocks on U.S. exchanges. There are also exchange-traded funds covering many countries and regions. Venezuela offers none of these. No ADRs trade on American exchanges, and no Venezuela ETF exists, though Teucrium Investment Advisors filed for one on Jan. 5.2 That leaves indirect plays: U.S.-listed companies with exposure to Venezuela’s potential recovery. Those companies fall into four categories: producers already there; other major oil companies, some with outstanding debts from before they exited Venezuela; the services firms that would win reconstruction contracts; and the Gulf Coast refiners built to process the heavy crude Venezuela produces. The One Oil Major Left in Venezuela Chevron (CVX): It’s the only American major still in Venezuela. It operates joint ventures with PDVSA, the state oil company, that account for about a quarter of the country’s output and exports about 140,000 barrels per day.34 Morningstar analyst Allen Good has said it’s the best-positioned among the oil majors to benefit.5 Oil Majors That Could Return to the Country ConocoPhillips (COP) and Exxon Mobil (XOM): They left Venezuela after the 2007 nationalizations but have up to $12 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, in outstanding claims for property the government expropriated.67 JPMorgan analysts say the companies could return to recover seized assets, should the Venezuelan government allow it.8 Companies That Build Oil Infrastructure Halliburton (HAL) and SLB (SLB): Many of Venezuela’s pipelines are more than 50 years old, its refineries run at 20% capacity or less, and estimates suggest it would cost at least $100 billion over a decade or more to return production to 1990s levels.9 That’s years of contracts for service firms, should any money for them materialize.

Why did Russian air defence and intelligence fail to warn Maduro an attack was incoming? – To mask the extent of what they knew?? Three days after the fall of the Venezuelan president, Putin remained silent. The Russian Foreign Ministry expressed its concern and called for Maduro’s release and negotiations between the US and Venezuela. According to official reports, after a phone call in early December, Maduro received a New Year’s greeting from the Russian president. Maduro was one of the few heads of state who supported Russia in February 2022 when Moscow recognized the separatist pseudo-republics of Donetsk and Luhansk before launching its major attack on Ukraine. In December 2018, Russia sent two Tu-160 strategic bombers to Venezuela for exercises, which experts interpreted as a sign of support for Maduro. They landed at Caracas airport — the same airport used by the US to fly out the Venezuelan leader in handcuffs. But Russian air defenses were unable to protect the disputed leader during last week’s operation, as US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has pointed out. “Russia’s support for Venezuela has been more symbolic than practical,” Neil Melvin, an expert at the Royal United Services Institute, told DW. In his view, Russia is not in a position to challenge the deployment of US forces in the neighboring region. Felix Riefer, a German political scientist and author of a book on Russian foreign policy, also said he was not surprised by Putin’s response. After Trump’s return to the White House led to a rapprochement between Moscow and Washington, Russia responded to “American hints toward Venezuela with relative restraint,” he said. “Russia had already abandoned Maduro.” Both experts said a key explanation for Putin’s silence is Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine and the US shift from being Kyiv’s partner to acting as a mediator in talks. Russia is keen to avoid harsh criticism of Washington because it does not want to cause offense, according to Melvin. In his opinion, Moscow’s rhetoric on the events in Venezuela would be “significantly harsher” if it weren’t for the war against Ukraine. The British expert saw no immediate consequences for the war in Ukraine. This could change if Trump does not stop at Venezuela but goes further and, for example, attempts to annex Greenland, which belongs to Denmark — something the US president recently hinted at again…

Did Venezuelan army collaborate with US? Coup plan to put Smedley Butler in power instead of Roosevelt.  Prescott Bush’s 1933 fascist coup attempt in the US – Business Coup stopped by Smedley Butler The “Business Plot” (also the Plot Against FDR and the White House Putsch) was an alleged political conspiracy in 1933 wherein wealthy businessmen and corporations plotted a coup détat to overthrow United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1934, the Business Plot was publicly revealed by retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler testifying to the McCormack-Dickstein Congressional Committee. In his testimony, Butler claimed that a group of men had approached him as part of a plot to overthrow Roosevelt in a military coup. One of the alleged plotters, Gerald MacGuire, vehemently denied any such plot. In their final report, the Congressional committee supported Butler’s allegations of the existence of the plot, but no prosecutions or further investigations followed, and the matter was mostly forgotten. On July 17, 1932, thousands of World War I veterans converged on Washington, D.C., set up tent camps, and demanded immediate payment of bonuses due them according to the Adjusted Service Certificate Law of 1924. This “Bonus Army” was led by Walter W. Waters, a former Army sergeant. The Army was encouraged by an appearance from retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler, who had considerable influence over the veterans, being one of the most popular military figures of the time. A few days after Butler’s arrival, President Herbert Hoover ordered the marchers removed, and their camps were destroyed by US Army cavalry troops under the command of General Douglas MacArthur. Butler, although a self-described Republican, responded by supporting Roosevelt in that year’s election. In a 1995 History Today article Clayton Cramer argued that the devastation of the Great Depression had caused many Americans to question the foundations of liberal democracy. “Many traditionalists, here and in Europe, toyed with the ideas of Fascism and National Socialism; many liberals dallied with Socialism and Communism.” Cramer argues that this explains why some American business leaders viewed fascism as a viable system to both preserve their interests and end the economic woes of the Depression.

History of US meddling in South America. Zionism influence. Costa Gavras films.  STATE OF SIEGE (1972) [WATCH AND DOWNLOAD HERE] Using the interrogation of a US counterinsurgency agent as a backdrop, the film explores the consequences of the struggle between Uruguay’s government and theTupamaro guerrillas. Dan Mitrione got what he deserved – maybe less, actually.  The subject of State of Siege is the activities of CIA-like organizations that were being undertaken in various South American territories. The plot is about an American, Philip Michael Santore (Yves Montand) who worked for USAID as a “Communications Expert.” I used quotes for his job title because we’re not sure exactly what he did during his various travels. Was he a benefactor or was he a terrorist? That answer is not provided, although it is strongly hinted that he was at least aware of the latter activities, if not a direct participant. I am about to reveal a major plot point, but not to worry. It is not a spoiler, at least unless you consider the beginning of Sunset Blvd a spoiler. Our operative friend, Mr. Santore dies at the beginning of the film in Montevideo, Uruguay. The film begins with a shot of a shiny Cadillac followed by a series of roadblocks and an exhaustive search by the authorities. We do not know what they are searching for initially, but minutes later when they discover a carcass in a car, we know. Soon after the discovery, we see a highly ceremonial funeral, with an American flag draped over the casket. We get the impression that something is awry because the archbishop and academics are not present, yet the funeral is well attended, implying that this was the passing of an important, political person. Is Mr. Santore a good person? That’s another tough question. He comes off sympathetically, some of which has to do with the ever-likeable performance by Yves Montand, who was also a popular political figure at the time. As the film flashes back to the kidnapping and interrogations, we wonder which is the truly righteous, Santore or his kidnappers? He is accused of, at the very least, knowing of torture, and at worst, guilty of perpetrating war crimes. Yet he is part of a system. If he was guilty, was he simply doing his job? That does not mean that he deserves to be kidnapped and killed. His captors also are sympathetic. We learn through Santore’s observations that they do not intend or want to kill him. They are merely fighting a battle with limited weapons. We are not spoon-fed who to like or root for. One could make an argument that the kidnappers and kidnapped are both right to some respect, and simply pawns in a chess game between people far more powerful. The real evil could be the state that infringes on the rights of the people, or those who choose to not compromise and therefore through inaction lead to the creation of a martyr.

BBC – Luke Moffit – US illegal abduction of Maduro and wife. BBC – Professor Mary Ellen O’Connell, lawyer – violation of international law of UN.Trump says he doesn’t need international law amid aggressive US policies UN rapporteur tells Al Jazeera she is concerned that the world may be returning to an ‘age of imperialism’. United States President Donald Trump has dismissed international law, saying only his “own morality” can curb the aggressive policies he is pursuing across the world after the abduction of Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro. “I don’t need international law. I’m not looking to hurt people,” Trump told The New York Times on Thursday. Asked whether he needs to abide by international law, Trump said he does, but it “depends what your definition of international law is”. Trump has shown a willingness to use the brute force of the US military to achieve his foreign policy goals. On Saturday, the US launched an early-morning attack on Venezuela, with explosions reported across the capital Caracas and at Venezuelan military bases. US troops ultimately abducted Venezuelan President Maduro from Caracas in what critics say was a clear violation of the United Nations Charter, which prohibits “the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state”. The attack on Venezuela appears to have supercharged the belligerence of the US president, who received the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize Award last month. In the immediate aftermath of the attack, Trump said the US would “run” Venezuela and exploit the country’s vast oil reserves, though his administration has said it would cooperate with interim President Delcy Rodriguez. Still, the Trump administration said it would “dictate” policy to the interim government and repeatedly threatened a “second wave” of military actions if US demands were disobeyed.

Jeffrey Sachs, at UN Security Council – UN charters crumble, what next?  The issue before the council today is not the character of the government of Venezuela. The issue is whether any member state by force, coercion, or economic strangulation has the right to determine Venezuela’s political future or to exercise control over its affairs. This question goes directly to article 2, section 4 of the United Nations Charter, which prohibits the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state. The council must decide whether that prohibition is to be upheld or abandoned. Abandoning it would carry consequences of the gravest kind. Let me offer some background. Since 1947, the United States foreign policy has repeatedly employed force, covert action, and political manipulation to bring about regime change in other countries. This is a matter of carefully documented historical record. In her book, Covert Regime Change, political scientist Lindseay Oor documents 70 attempted US regime change operations between 1947 and 1989 alone. These practices did not end with the Cold War. Since 1989, major United States regime change operations undertaken without authorization by the Security Council have included, among the most consequential, Iraq 2003, Libya 2011, Syria beginning in 2011, Honduras 2009, Ukraine 2014, and Venezuela from 2002 onward. The methods employed are well established and well documented. They include open warfare, covert intelligence operations, instigation of unrest, support for armed groups, manipulation of mass and social media, bribery of military and civilian officials, targeted assassinations, false flag operations, and economic warfare. These measures are illegal under the UN charter and they typically result in ongoing violence, lethal conflict, political instability, and deep suffering of the civilian population.

Fake Greens 1: Oliver Tickell and the US energy platform. They Kidnapped Maduro Because The World Is Ruled By Unaccountable Tyrants Caitlin Johnstone Jan 04, 2026 Well, Trump finally did it. US special forces attacked Venezuela and abducted President Maduro from Caracas, reportedly killing at least 40 people in the process. And now that it’s all over, the White House is getting a lot more honest about the real motives behind its actions. After all those months of babbling about fentanyl and “narcoterrorism” and freedom and democracy, the Trump administration has come right out and admitted that its regime change interventionism in Venezuela has always been a good old-fashioned oil grab. “We’re gonna take back the oil that frankly we should have taken back a long time ago,” Trump told the press following Maduro’s abduction, saying “We’re going to be taking out a tremendous amount of wealth out of the ground, and that wealth is going to the people of Venezuela, and people from outside of Venezuela that used to be in Venezuela, and it goes also to the United States of America in the form of reimbursement for the damages caused us by that country.” “We’re going to have our very large United States oil companies, the biggest anywhere in the world, go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure, the oil infrastructure, and start making money for the country, and we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so,” Trump said. “We have tremendous energy in that country. It’s very important that we protect it. We need that for ourselves, we need that for the world,” the president added. Ben Norton@BenjaminNorton After bombing Venezuela and abducting President Nicolás Maduro, Donald Trump said the US government is “going to run the country” until there is a “transition” to pro-US leadership. He boasted that “very large” US corporations will exploit its oil.

According to the Nuremberg Military Tribunal, the SA was ‘a group composed in large part of ruffians and bullies’. Many of the SA were former soldiers, upset with the way they had been treated after World War One. Germany’s defeat in the war had come as a surprise to the German people, which led to a theory that the brave German army had been ‘stabbed in the back’ by the politicians. Many Germans hated the government for signing the armistice in November 1918 – and saw the government as the ‘November Criminals’. Hitler used these terms in many speeches to further turn people against the Government. Speaking politics in public was potentially a dangerous matter at the time. Recognisable by their brown uniforms, similar to those of Mussolini’s Blackshirts, the SA functioned as a ‘security’ force at Nazi rallies and meetings, using threats and outright violence to secure votes and overcome Hitler’s political enemies. They also marched in Nazi rallies and intimidated political opponents by breaking up their meetings. When fights broke out, the Weimar police appeared powerless, with law and order usually restored by the SA. This enabled Hitler to claim that the Weimar regime lacked leadership and power, and that he was the person who could restore Germany to law and order.

Tommy Robinson’s Trip to Israel Reveals a Growing Bond Between the Far Right and the Israeli Government

Channel 4 disingenuous news: Paraic O’ Brein on Iran protests. Makes no mention of the captured Israeli agents nor of explosives and incendiary bombs handed out to demonstrators nor of someone arming the demonstrators. Sanctions. Huge demonstrations are taking place across Iran tonight after the exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi urged people to take to the streets or shout from their windows or rooftops.

David Hearst, Editor Middle East Eye – Saudis in charge of Yemen – UAE ran away.  By standing up to Abu Dhabi, Riyadh could reshape the Middle East MEE editor David Hearst The UAE and Israel, backed by the US, have long sown the seeds of civil war and conflict across the region. Will they finally be held accountable? A tectonic shift is taking place in the Arab world. It has nothing to do with the temporary and patchable squabbles of princes, imperial spoils, or jostling alliances of proxies. Nor has it any relevance to the two traditional bugbears of the Sunni Arab ruler: Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood. It has not been triggered by a trader immolating himself after having his food carts confiscated by officials in Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia. No mass demonstrations have taken place in Cairo calling for the downfall of a dictator. And yet, this shift could have as wide repercussions as the Arab Spring once had, 15 years ago. What is commonly referred to in the Middle East as the “real” nations of the Arab world – meaning those countries with significant populations – have woken up to what has been happening all around them. Saudi Arabia and Algeria, principally, and Egypt potentially have realised that a plan to dominate and control the key chokepoints of the region by Israel (explicitly) and the United Arab Emirates (implicitly) is a threat to their national interests. The Israeli-Emirati plan is simple: fragment once-formidable Arab states, control key trade routes like the Bab al-Mandeb Strait between Yemen and the Horn of Africa, plant military bases all around the region, and you will ensure lucrative military and financial control for the rest of the century. Policy of fragmentation: In Israel, this plan was explicit. It’s the formula Tel Aviv is trying in Syria, with their creation of a protectorate of the Druze in southern Syria, and attempts to do the same to Kurdish areas in the north. This strategy is open and declared. Israel doesn’t want a united Syria. But fragmentation is also the policy inherent in Tel Aviv’s recognition of Somaliland, which offers the Israeli military a foothold in the Horn of Africa. For Abu Dhabi, fragmentation had long been been set in motion all over the Arab world…

Dr. Victoria Taylor – Russia far from peace settlement.

Christopher Steele, ex MI6 – handler of the Skripals, had a meal with Skripals at Zizzi restaurant in Salisbury just before they ‘passed out’ did he spike their food or drink with Fentanyl? – His ‘Steele dossier’ about Donald Trump urinating on a prostitute is believed to have been a fabrication – Ukraine peace deal won’t work he says.  Ex-MI6 Russia chief explains why Britain shouldn’t deploy troops to Ukraine – LBC Tom Swarbrick is joined by Christopher Steele, Former Head of the MI6 Russia Desk and Lord Andrew Robathan, a Conservative Peer and Former Minister for Armed Forces and British Army Soldiers. The discussion comes after Keir Starmer has announced that MPs will have a debate and vote before any UK troops are deployed on peacekeeping duties in Ukraine. Speaking after Britain and France said they would be willing to send troops if there was a peace deal, following discussions at a wider summit in Paris, Starmer was pressed by Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, as to why he was not making a full Commons statement. In response, Starmer said the debate and vote would happen in the event troops were being deployed, at which point there would be details about how many would be sent. “Yesterday, I stood side by side with our European and American allies and President Zelenskyy at the coalition of the willing meeting in Paris,” Starmer said in introductory remarks.

Heinrik Dahl, Danish MEP, on US taking Greenland.  A US plane carrying four H-bombs crashed into sea ice in Greenland and exploded, contaminating the surrounding area with radiation in 1968 Apr 22, 2017 Stefan Andrews There were many stories that made the news headlines over the course of the Cold War. One of them relates to the operation Chrome Dome, a US airborne alert program initiated in 1961. Within the operation’s activities, nuclear-armed Boeing B-52 Stratofortress bombers were flown, over a number of years, to designated points on the Soviet Union’s border. This provided an offensive capability on the side of the US in a case where it was deemed probable that the Soviets were preparing to strike first. The whole operation was an important Cold War nuclear deterrent. As the need of this operation dropped, in 1966 the United States Secretary of Defence proposed termination of the operation’s program. Ending the operation also meant a saving of up to $125 million. However, a complete end did not happen and four bombers remained on alert each day. These flights were conducted without the knowledge of civilian authorities in the States – until one day in 1968. The bombers flew secretly as part of the “Hard Head” missions. Reportedly, on 21 January 1968, a B-52 bomber under the callsign “HOBO 28” was assigned to fly over the Thule Air Base, the US Air Force’s northernmost base on the Danish territory of Greenland. Such a mission enabled continual monitoring of the base’s strategically vital Ballistic Missile Early Warning System that provided quick warning of Soviet missile launches. The crew consisted of five regular crew members counting the craft’s commander, Captain John Haug. Aboard the aircraft, there was also Captain Curtis R. Criss as a substitute navigator, and Major Alfred D’Mario who took the role of a mandatory third pilot. The bomber was also carrying out four hydrogen bombs. The troubles came when a fire started out in the aircraft. A B-52G, similar to the one that crashed at Thule Air Base Allegedly, the crew was not feeling too comfortable as temperatures in the plane dropped very low. Major D’Mario had then turned on additional heating, but within the next half hour, the temperatures in the aircraft became extremely hot. At that point, the crew felt the scent of burning rubber, and within minutes a fire was discovered. All attempts to extinguish the fire in the aircraft had failed. At exactly 15:22 EST, roughly six hours into the mission flight and approximately 90 miles away from the Thule Air Base, the captain declared it an emergency and requested emergency landing at the air base. Very soon after, the plane lost electricity and the cockpit was overwhelmed by dense smoke. The pilots were unable to read any of the instruments. Executing the emergency landing became impossible and crewmen started to abandon the craft. Six members of the crew managed to escape the burning plane but one of them, co-pilot Leonard Svitenko died in the accident. The pilotless bomber had continued flying in its final hazardous minutes. Past the air base, it crashed onto dense sea ice in the nearby North Star Bay, at exactly 15:39 EST. The B28FI model hydrogen bombs it carried, had detonated on impact, but a nuclear explosion was not triggered due to the design of the weapon. However, the detonation still dispersed a huge nuclear payload that contaminated the area with radioactivity. Jet fuel had continued to burn six hours after the crash, eventually melting the ice sheet and causing the remnants of the craft to sink to the floor of the ocean. Captain Haug and Major D’Mario, who had parachuted safely in the proximity of the Thule air base, had delegated the base crew to embark on an immediate search and rescue operation for the remaining crew members. In the thickness of the Arctic darkness, the three other survivors were found by native dog sled teams, and the rescue was successfully accomplished, mainly thanks to Jens Zingleresen of the Royal Greenland Trade Department.

Documentary – Greenland, breaking the silence: The scandal of Denmark’s forced contraception campaign Danes stopping indigenous Greenland people having children. In 1960s Greenland, thousands of young Inuit girls were sent to hospital. Without giving an explanation or obtaining their consent, Danish doctors fitted them with IUDs, a painful procedure that left lifelong scars. In total, more than 4,500 Greenlandic women were victims of this mass forced contraception campaign, orchestrated by the Danish authorities. Sarah Andersen has been to meet victims who are now demanding justice. This film was awarded the 2024 Figra Coup de Pouce award. #Greenland #forcedcontraception #Denmark For two weeks in Denmark the subject of the documentary was “bigger than Trump”, says producer Michael Bévort. The broadcast of Grønlands hvide guld (Greenland’s white gold), a 55-minute film about the Danish exploitation over several decades of a cryolite mine in southern Greenland and the vast sums of money it generated, made waves in February in both Greenland and its former colonial ruler, Denmark. But the reaction between the two could not have been more polarised. In Greenland, which remains part of the Danish kingdom, with Denmark still controlling its foreign and defence policies, there were feelings of anger and deep sadness. The country was in the middle of an election being watched by the world thanks to Donald Trump’s threats to take control of the Arctic island. According to a poll for Greenlandic newspaper Sermitsiaq, more than a third of voters said the documentary would influence their vote. There was also a sense of long-awaited recognition – that the stories people had heard from their friends and relatives about what happened in the now derelict town of Ivittuut were finally being confirmed by a public institution as big as DR, the public-service Danish Broadcasting Corporation. Politically, it was seen as seismic in the country’s capital, Nuuk. It had the potential, some believed, to change the power dynamic between the territory and the Nordic country, which has long been framed as Greenland being financially dependent on Denmark. “A new documentary film shows that Denmark has earned at least 400bn kroner [£46bn] from just one mine,” Greenland’s then-prime minister, Múte B Egede, said at the time.

Patricia Opulenza poem. Pax Judaica, Propaganda and Company – Bondi beach attack. Pax Judaica: The Zionist World Order Propaganda & Co. The world still looks American. But power no longer moves the way it used to. Empires rule through armies, territory, and conquest. Today, Israel rules through leverage, institutions, surveillance, and proxy control. This video explores the idea of Pax Judaica — not as a slogan, but as a framework for understanding how power now operates in the modern world. Why Israel’s influence appears disproportionate to its size. Why regional actors court Jerusalem before Washington. Why resistance hasn’t disappeared — but no longer has a path to victory. From historical Pax systems to proxy rule, from geopolitical judo to surveillance and artificial intelligence, this is a breakdown of how dominance is enforced without occupation — and why the next phase of empire won’t announce itself. Whether you see this as analysis, warning, or speculation, one thing is clear: Power has changed. And most people are still looking in the wrong place.

NOT The BCfm Politics Show CANCELLED and attempts to intimidate us

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

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

February 2019 – Ofcom complaint result: UKLFI exposed as creation of Israeli foreign ministryBristol Post article: BCfm cleared after being reported to Ofcom for anti-semitic conspiracy theories – It could have resulted in BCfm radio station being shut down if the complaint was upheld Tony Gosling reported to Ofcom by UK Lawyers for Israel after being accused of anti-semitism A Bristol radio station, which had one of its programmes reported for anti-semitism and racism has been cleared by Ofcom. The radio regulatory body received a complaint from “UK Lawyers for Israel’ over a show on BCfm radio, hosted by investigative journalist Tony Gosling. The weekly politics show, on the popular community radio station based in Easton, was reported for several allegations on a show which aired on November 23. Tony Gosling, who was a former BBC journalist between 1989 and 1993, has been producing and presenting ‘The Tony Gosling Politics’ show every week on BCFM radio for 11 years. They have released a statement which reads: “Whilst we are supportive of all our volunteer presenters, The Tony Gosling Politics Show only represents approximately ten percent of our political output content wise, and less than two per cent of our entire weekly output.” Mr Gosling’s programme looks at local politics and he interviews a range of councillors and MPs in the city. The show is also perhaps more well known for its alternative look at international politics, and he has a cult following online from across the world. Mr Gosling has made regular appearances on national media including the politics show with Andrew Neil on BBC One, and international channels such as Russia Today, Channel1 Russia, NTV, and recently for both Turkish and Lebanon TV.

November 2012 – Tony gets death threats on the phone from the Jewish Defence League – ‘you’re a dead man walking’ – a man calls him and Tony records the call. Audio of UK Jewish Defence League (JDL) death threat against British journalist Tony Gosling (2012) – Avon and Somerset police Special Branch investigate, trace the caller, and after six months report to Tony that the individual has been served a caution that they will proceed with a prosecution for harassment under the 1861 offences against the person act. Seems pretty clear this death threat was issued alongside the lies, copied below, which were published on their blog by London based UK JDL in November 2012.  Firstly Tony Gosling is not a ‘homophobe’. That accusation was first made in an article published by the ‘Harry’s Place’ blog, penned by Zionist David Toube and propelled by him anonymously into Private Eye in 2008. It refers to Gosling’s criticism of senior teachers at Bannerman Road Primary school in Bristol who used homosexual early learning picture books against the express wishes of the parent governors. His criticism was about the deception by teaching staff not because of the homosexual content of the books. Secondly, if you follow the JDL link you’ll find what Tony Gosling actually says about the ‘Protocols Of The Learned Elders Of Zion’ says “…I don’t think there is much doubt that the Protocols are fake…” Thirdly he is not a member of Bristol Palestine Solidarity Campaign and has never been to any of their meetings.

Autumn 2014 – Tony’s documentary production and distribution business shut down by its bank. Our thriving Co-op business bank account ordered closed for undisclosed reasons. Tony Gosling and Ben Edwards founded i-Contact Video Network to distribute documentaries on VHS video and DVD and to make their own documentaries as well as attend news events and sell video footage to TV news channels. Amongst the films we distributed were Operation Solstice, Coconut Revolution, Mark Purdey and Organophosphates, McLibel, 9/11 In Plane Site, Ludicrous Diversion and The Battle of Trafalgar. These, plus books, and even a board game about drug dealing ‘Dollars and Dibble’, were all available via mail order and we supplied libraries around the world too. The bank had clearly been ordered to investigate us for money laundering, although they never admitted it. All the questions they asked Ben and I were about proving our identity through passports etc.. When we did, yet more letters kept arriving demanding more proofs, birth certificates etc. and eventually when one of us missed supplying the required information, within a week or so of being asked, the account was summarily closed and we got a cheque made out to one of us with the few hundred pounds that was in the business bank account. Since neither of us could get a business bank account up and running for at least a few months and the bank account meant nobody could any longer use the website, we made the reluctant decision to shut it down. Thus was a thriving business killed off by the Co_operative bank. Having said that, co-op were not quite the worst. We did apply to open an account at Bristol’s ‘ethical’ Triodos bank, who proceeded to string us along for several months and then said our business was too risky for them to provide an account!
