Across the collective West unrest is growing. Hundreds of thousand in cities of many nations out in protest over the weekend, all with a different axe to grind but discontent being the universal message. Yet the MSM heehaws barely covered any of them. Spin no longer works so ignore it and hope it goes away seems to be the adopted way. What is clear is the unifying angst is not just towards politicians, who are viewed more and more as the impotent vassals of real power, unrest is directed to institutions that are failing because they are rudderless and corrupted. The whole edifice of control built up by a mafia of globalists is crumbling.
There is though one nation whose population appears to be lying down in submission and that is in Britain. I wonder where the backbone of the nation has gone, the descendants of the peasants revolt, the Jarrow marches, the poll tax protests, what has happened to the spirit of the British working class? Is it broken, have they given up and given in? I applaud those who have come out in support of Palestine, it is a good and just cause but why has protest against the suffering of their own been taken over by those brandishing hate inwards? It is the oldest trick in the book, divide to conquer. The state actors working in the shadows to orchestrate violence in order to ‘justify’ yet more Orwellian controls that contains and closes down real and meaningful protest.
The Sunday headlines in the UK are yet more cuts on the home front with a further six billion to be cut from welfare, not where the spending has grown out of control (the real cost of illegal immigration hidden in social security), the axe will fall again on the sick and the elderly. It is cuts dictated in the same week when they announce yet more billions to Ukraine. British people are being forced to pay for war games that regardless of the rhetoric out of No 10 has zero to do with them. They are not at risk by a manufactured adversary but from the policy makers behind the narrative. The Starmer government are not reacting to geopolitical events, they are using power gifted to them on a platform of lies for their own agenda. An agenda that is difficult not to surmise is a last ditch effort to breathe life into the dying globalist agenda and equally hard to dismiss the establishments role in the whole project as conspiracy.
What will it take before the British stand up and be heard as a unified group?, To enable their warmongering agenda the blob keeps coming for their money, do they have to come next for their children, to enlist them as fodder in a bloody fools game before they cry out?
As a Glaswegian would say ‘the games a bogey’, don’t let them fool you otherwise.

THE COMING ATTACK ON IRAN - RECALLING THE 2011 ATTACK ON LIBYA

The gathering of enormous US military forces in the seas and territories around Iran, and the relentless rhetoric from the neocons and their media allies as they press for another regime change war, this time against Iran, inevitably recall regime change wars past.

This made me revisit an article I wrote back in 2011 in the aftermath of the successful regime change war in Libya. I reproduce it complete below.

What struck me on re-reading my 2011 Libya piece is how neocon propaganda barely changes.

There was the same rhetoric in 2011 about ‘heroic protesters’ that there is today. At the time I wrote my piece it had not yet been revealed that the anti-Gaddafi protests in Libya had been engineered by the foreign powers - essentially the US and its friends - who sought and eventually succeeded in overthrowing him. That fact is mostly undisputed today. Today, in the case of Iran, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent openly boasts that it was the US that caused the financial crisis that was the purported ...

Araghchi Tells Trump to Present Evidence Over Claims Against Iran

Saturday, 21 February 2026 09:12

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has pushed back against claims made by U.S. President Donald Trump, urging him to “speak with evidence” if he questions Iran’s official data regarding recent armed riots.

Why it matters:

The exchange underscores renewed tensions between Tehran and Washington, as Iranian officials say the U.S. administration is spreading unsubstantiated allegations while ignoring documented facts.

The big picture:

Tehran says Washington is politicizing recent developments and amplifying narratives that contradict officially published data.

The Iranian government says it has committed to full transparency with its citizens regarding casualties from recent armed riots.

Relations between the two countries remain strained amid disputes over sanctions, regional security, and nuclear policy.

What he’s saying:

Abbas Araghchi:

“If anyone doubts the accuracy of ...
