Scandal at Dolphin Square: A Notorious History by Simon Danczuk, & Daniel Smith https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/59659960-scandal-at-dolphin-square The first book to tell the scandal-filled story of Dolphin Square, the UK's most notorious address In 1937 Dolphin Square was built in London's Pimlico, a major development offering 1,250 flats to well-to-do private individuals. From the outset, it attracted the great and the good - in particular, a long roll-call of Members of Parliament and celebrities. It was perhaps inevitable that scandal would follow not far behind. In fact, in less than a century Dolphin Square has established itself as arguably the most notorious address in the country. This, then, is the story of the Square - not of its topography, but of its people, an extraordinary array of characters who have borne witness to and been pivotal in some of the most scandalous episodes in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It is a story replete with mysterious deaths, espionage, illicit love affairs, glamour, politics and scandal - from Oswald Moseley, the Carry On gang and Profumo, to allegations of VIP sexual abuse rings. A saga of colour and shade, populated by a cast of Dickens-esque larger-than-life characters, that shines a light on the evolving nature of British politics and society over the last century.

'Climate Change' worse in 1975 (rained all year) & 1976 (no rain) Jack Hargreaves Out Of Town (1988) YouTube Views When Banned:461 PublicEnquiry Published on Jul 6, 2022 Jack Hargreaves Climate Change UK Dont Panic 1975 wet-1976 dry Out Of Town E6 (1988) Heatwave UK: Five great British summers over the last 100 years Julian Gavaghan 17 July 2013 https://uk.news.yahoo.com/heatwave-uk--five-great-british-summers-over-the-last-100-years-120459808.html Sizzling, sweltering or scorching – whichever way you describe it, this summer has already been a memorably hot one. We are currently enjoying the longest spell of blazing sunshine for seven years after enduring a succession of washouts. But what other historic heatwaves have stood the test of time to be remembered as truly Great British Summers? Below are our top five of the last century: 2003 The highest temperature ever recorded in Britain was set during the sizzling summer of 2003, when the 100-Fahrenheit mark was broken for the first and only time. The mercury soared to 38.5C (101.3F) at Brogdale, near Faversham, Kent, on August 10, smashing the previous 1990 record of 37.1C (98.8F). Across Europe, around 70,000 people are believed to have died during the worst heatwave on the continent for almost 500 years. Britain luckily escaped the worst following a cool and wet two-week period at the end of July and beginning of August. It led to the worst drought for 27 years and wilting crops led to a 12% shortfall in wheat, causing the price of bread to soar. But most Britons were simply content to enjoy what was the first sustained heatwave in almost a decade with, notably, a mud-free Glastonbury festival for once. 1976 The hottest British summer on record was 1976, when for 25 straight days the temperature hit at least 26.7C (80F). For 15 days during the spell, between June 22 and July 16, the mercury soared beyond 32.2C (90F) somewhere in England. The temperature exceeded 35C (95F) for five blistering days of the heatwave, peaking at 35.9C (96.6F) on July 3 in Cheltenham. It was perfect weather for women to wear the some of the decade’s notoriously skimpy outfits, although not so great for men with long hair and flairs. But there were major downsides as Britain suffered its worst drought in history, with water being rationed in some places by standpipes in the streets. Some areas went without rain from the start of the main heatwave until the last week of August. 1959 Prior to 1976, the most memorably hot summer had been in 1959. Blue skies dominated the horizons for weeks with most places in southern England seeing temperatures above 21C (70F) for at least 100 days. It was remembered as a gloriously long and comfortable summer – with only five days exceeding 30C (86f) - and few downpours to spoil picnics. In fact, there was so little rain that the five months between May and September remain the driest on record and resulted in a drought. A British Pathé newsreel captured the mood of the nation by reporting – with a degree of astonishment - the first downpour of the summer. "That stuff, yes it’s called rain, something we used to have in England a long time ago," begins the commentary before showing footage of a parched landscape. 1949 The summer of 1949 – which was the hottest in 30 years – also saw one of the worst droughts on record. A heatwave between mid-June and the end of July exacerbated the water shortages caused by an earlier dry winter. In London, even nighttime temperatures did not drop below 24C (75C) during this period. People took to sleeping in Hyde Park and other cool green spaces rather than sweating in their beds at home. A British Pathe newsreel shows a host of parched landscapes and how Britons coped with water shortages. Areas hit by drought included bone-dry Rivington Reservoir near Preston and the unnavigable Leeds-Liverpool Canal near Burnley, both in normally wet Lancashire. Many in rural areas were left without any supply and water wagons – cars carrying the precious liquid in pails? – were filmed driving around offering it to houses. And, in Derbyshire, a 100ft drop in levels at the Ladybower Reservoir brought to the surface the remains of the village of Derwent, which was flooded in 1943.

Kellie-Jay Keen is candidate in Bristol Central By Martin Booth , Saturday Jun 8, 2024 https://www.bristol247.com/news-and-features/news/kellie-jay-keen-candidate-bristol-central/ Kellie-Jay Keen, also known as Posie Parker, has made an unexpected entry into the race to become Bristol Central’s first MP. https://politicsthisweek.wordpress.com/2024/06/06/not-the-bcfm-politics-show-presented-by-tony-gosling-193/ Keen, who used to live in Cotham, founded the Let Women Speak movement and will be standing for the Party of Women at the general election on July 4. Her website describes her as “unapologetic and unafraid” who “believes that language is the key weapon in the arsenal of those who wish to erase women”. Keen has also been referred to as an anti-transgender rights campaigner, a far-right transphobic activist and a bigot. Red Flag Australia says that protests need to be held against her because her “myriad links to racist, homophobic and sexist far-right figures and groups puts paid to the idea that there is something progressive about Parker’s supposed concerns for women”. The Party of Women is a private company that was first registered in Bath in February with Keen, who has a correspondence address in Trowbridge in Wiltshire, named as its sole director. All candidates who want to stand for election in Bristol need to hand in their nomination papers in the council’s electoral services office at the B bond warehouse on Spike Island, where Keen left it until the last day possible but was accepted as a candidate. On Friday, the self-declared “women’s rights advocate” also tweeted a video saying that there were no women’s toilets in the building that also houses the Create Centre and Bristol Archives. She also told her followers on X that she does not think “it’s remotely appropriate for councils to be flying rainbow flags or wearing rainbow lanyards whilst pretending to have no political bias during an election”. The Let Women Speak website says that their campaign “is to focus specifically on the word woman and other female language that clearly defines women and our rights”. In Bristol Central, Keen has entered a straight two-horse race between two women candidates: the incumbent Labour MP Thangam Debbonaire and Green Party co-leader Carla Denyer. Speaking in a live video on Friday, Keen mentioned how former Bristol Green councillor Jude English had been suspended and “treated abysmally apparently because she doesn’t think women have penises”. Of Debbonaire, Keen said: “You might not have really heard of Thangam but that’s because she doesn’t really say anything of any interest.” In her video, Keen said that there is an “existential threat posed by transgenderism and men in women’s spaces which I find frankly intolerable”. She added that “the disruption has begun”. “And to women in Bristol, at least one politician in Bristol gives a crap whether or not you can have a female-only space. And I say one politician, because I simply don’t know any others.” On the same day as Keen handed in her nomination papers in Bristol, a trans and intersex activist who doused her with tomato juice in New Zealand in 2023 pleaded guilty to two common assault charges. At an event on College Green in 2022 of Keen’s group that was then called Standing For Women, dozens of counter-protesters disrupted what they called “a transphobic rally”. Keen has said that there will be a Let Women Speak rally taking place in Bristol on July 2, two days before the general election.

'When NATO Dogs/Hyenas Attack You, Hit Them With A Stick. If They Still Persist, Just Shoot One Or Two, The Others Will Soon Run Away'.Sergey Karaganov with Putin at SPIEF (the anti-Nazi WEF) in St Petersburg ... where Scott Ritter was prevented from flying by confiscation of his US passport this week Fri07Jun24 https://politicsthisweek.wordpress.com/2024/06/06/not-the-bcfm-politics-show-presented-by-tony-gosling-193/ Ukraine-Russia war latest: Vladimir Putin repeats warning he could send weapons to adversaries of the West Speaking at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum, Vladimir Putin also says he does not see the conditions for the use of nuclear weapons as set out in Russia's nuclear doctrine - but adds he could not rule out a change to it. Putin says he sees no threat warranting use of nuclear arms but warns Russia could arm Western foes Updated 6:01 PM BST, June 7, 2024 https://apnews.com/article/russia-putin-ukraine-economy-2a8aca4544abbc7327adf944d72d6f4e ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) — President Vladimir Putin said Friday that he sees no current threat to Russia’s sovereignty that would warrant the use of nuclear weapons but again warned that Moscow could send arms to countries or groups to strike Western targets. Speaking at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Putin said use of nuclear weapons is only possible in “exceptional cases” and that he does not believe “such a case has arisen.” The Russian leader has repeatedly raised the specter of a nuclear attack since he sent troops into Ukraine in 2022. On Friday, he repeated a warning made days earlier that Moscow “reserves the right” to arm Western adversaries as a response to some NATO allies allowing Ukraine to use their weapons to strike targets inside Russia. “If they supply (weapons) to the combat zone and call for using these weapons against our territory, why don’t we have the right to do the same?” Putin asked. “But I’m not ready to say that we will be doing it tomorrow, either,” Putin added, suggesting that it might affect global stability. He didn’t specify where such arms might be sent. The U.S. has said that Russia has turned to North Korea and Iran to beef up its stock of relatively simple weapons, but Moscow could dip into its stock of high-tech missiles to share with adversaries of the West if Putin decides to fulfill his threat. The United States and Germany recently authorized Ukraine to hit some targets on Russian soil with the long-range weapons they are supplying to Kyiv. On Wednesday, a Western official and a U.S. senator said Ukraine has used American weapons to strike inside Russia under newly approved guidance from President Joe Biden that allows American arms to be used to defend Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city. The official, who was not authorized to comment publicly on the sensitive matter, spoke on condition of anonymity. Putin also said he sees no need for a new round of mobilization to beef up Russia’s forces in Ukraine because, he said, “people come voluntarily and go to the front lines to defend the Motherland.” Russia mobilized 300,000 reservists in the fall of 2022 amid a series of military setbacks in Ukraine, an unpopular move that prompted hundreds of thousands to flee the country to avoid being drafted. Putin made the comments during a question and answer session with a pro-Kremlin moderator at the forum, which has been used by Russia for decades as a showcase for touting the country’s development and to woo investors. Earlier in a speech, he said the Russian economy is growing despite international sanctions and said Moscow has increasing economic ties with countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Putin said Russia “remains one of the key participants in world trade,” despite the sweeping sanctions, imposed for sending troops into Ukraine, that cut off much of Russia’s trade with Western Europe, the U.S. and their allies.

Gods Will - Tim Cohen Christian Zionist view of Israel Gaza land-grab NTBCFMPS 24May24# https://politicsthisweek.wordpress.com/2024/05/23/not-the-bcfm-politics-show-presented-by-tony-gosling-191/ Tim Cohen, author of 'The Anti Christ and a Cup of Tea', joins Tony and Martin. As a Christian Zionist he thinks Jews have a right to the Promised Land. He thinks Israel has been behaving Ok in Gaza, and it's God's wish. He thinks this is all part of God's plan. Gaza's Philistines, Edomites, Canaanites et al. are NOT innocent, as THEY have empowered Hamas and other terrorist factions, allowing them to remain. The whole Promised Land, including all Gaza, belong to ISRAEL, and shortly (years from now) The God of Israel and Christians will END Islam and all other false religions globally, and all Israel will turn to God through Christ Jesus, so that Israel's survivors are then saved. (Two-thirds of Israel in Judaea will first die.) The surviving "Palestinians" who are then in Israel's midst, whom The LORD allows to live in Israel's (full) land, who also shall then be newly born-again Christians, will be Israel's SERVANTS AND SLAVES until their natural deaths, though children born to them following coming judgments, will be like native Israelites in the Promised Land, with all the same rights, etc. Scottish Chief Executive MAP, Melanie Ward, aid worker in Gaza on LBC, is witness to how terrible it is in there. 22 charities welcome ICJ order to halt Israel’s military offensive in Rafah, urge UK to uphold its measures “As an aid worker in Gaza the current situation is deeply distressing. The feeling of helplessness and frustration is overwhelming. Our primary mission is to help those in need, but with the borders closed and no aid coming in, our hands are tied. We are acutely aware of the worsening conditions and the urgent needs of people, and it is heartbreaking to witness their suffering without being able to provide the necessary support.” On 24 May 2024, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered additional provisional measures regarding Israel’s alleged violations in Gaza of obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The court ordered that, in light of the worsening conditions in Rafah, Israel must immediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah governorate, which may subject the Palestinian population in Gaza to conditions of life that may lead to their physical destruction, in whole or in part. The court described the conditions in Rafah as ‘disastrous’ and is ‘not convinced that the evacuation efforts and related measures that Israel affirms to have undertaken to enhance the security of civilians in the Gaza Strip, and in particular those recently displaced from the Rafah Governorate, are sufficient to alleviate the immense risk to which the Palestinian population is exposed as a result of the military offensive in Rafah.’ The ICJ reaffirmed provisional measures indicated in its orders of 26 January 2024, and 28 March 2024, applicable throughout Gaza, including Rafah, and called for their immediate and effective implementation. This includes the unhindered provision at scale of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance, and the maintained opening of land crossing points, particularly the Rafah crossing. The Court also ordered Israel to allow unhindered access for any commission of inquiry, fact-finding initiatives or other UN bodies to investigate allegations of genocide. It also reiterated calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. Israel is required to submit a report one month from today, outlining all measures taken to comply with these orders. President Raeisi of Iran is killed in a helicopter crash - but is this foul play? Some insight from Times of India about yesterday's Iran president 'crash' - fact there was no distress call, if true, points to foul play, these choppers are known to be reliable beasts and have a ceiling of 18,000ft which should put them above bad weather and cloud. Also if engine fails or similar, they can autorotate and come down reasonably slowly giving plenty of time for distress calls... Is anyone in Israel saying 'God killed Iran's president'? I bet they're all thinking it and this spiritual aspect is IMO a major motive for the West to deal emotional psyop blows by bumping off 'enemy leaders'. And capitalising on it at home... Ie 'God is with us'. Even though Mossad MI6 and the CIA are, in fact 'god' carrying out heaps of covert actions. Welcome to 'the summer of hate'....?

The West Has Placed the Survival of the World in the Hands of Three Artificial States https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2024/05/30/the-west-has-placed-the-survival-of-the-world-in-the-hands-of-three-artificial-states/ Paul Craig Roberts All of the trouble in the world revolves around three artificial states: Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel. https://politicsthisweek.wordpress.com/2024/05/30/not-the-bcfm-politics-show-presented-by-tony-gosling-192/ Ukraine was part of Russia for longer than the United States has existed. It was first created as an independent country in the early 1990s by Washington following the Soviet government’s collapse and replacement of the Communist Party rule’s with Yeltsin’s, a puppet of Washington. Ukraine is thus an artificial country merely 30 years old, having never previously existed as an independent country. Taiwan is a small island off the China coast, a part of China inhabited by Chinese people. Washington tried to pretend that a small island was China and had Taiwan setting on the UN Security Council. But President Nixon knew better. He supported the removal of Taiwan and its replacement with the Chinese mainland. Nixon originated the one-China policy that was US policy until the Biden Regime. Israel was a creation of the stupid and corrupt British government, or perhaps more correctly of the fanatic Zionists who drove countless undefended Palestinians from their towns and villages. Generations of Palestinians have been born in refuge camps located in Jordan and Lebanon. The genocide of Palestine as a people and a country has been ongoing since 1947, and nothing has been done about it. Israel has gotten away with it by using the Holocaust card to gain sympathy for its victim status and by paying Western politicians with campaign contributions to support its agenda. Now consider the fact that these three totally artificial countries totally lacking in any reality are each capable of unleashing nuclear Armageddon. Ukraine can do it by continuing to use Western-supplied long range missiles to attack Russia’s early warning system. Taiwan can do it by accepting occupation by US soldiers and more shipments of US missiles. Israel can do it by getting the bought-and-paid-for-Biden regime to OK Israel’s attack on Iran. The question I now propose to you is: If in fact the US is a superpower, and if the West as a whole constitutes a mega-super power, how it is possible for three artificial states to have control of the West’s future?

“I am urging these officials who seemingly are not bothered by anything, to take some time away from playing computer games, which is apparently what they are doing, given their light-hearted approach to serious issues, and take a closer look at what Putin said, particularly at a press conference following talks in Tashkent,” he added, referring to a warning Putin issued during a recent visit to Uzbekistan. https://news.antiwar.com/2024/06/03/russia-warns-us-close-to-making-fatal-miscalculation-over-ukraine/ War, AI and more war: the 2024 Bilderberg agenda is sure to set off alarm bells The secretive annual summit has tried to counter its arcane reputation, but its guest list still reads like a conspiracist’s who’s who of who rules the world https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/01/bilderberg-meeting-spain Charlie Skelton in Madrid Sat 1 Jun 2024 11.00 BST This year the Bilderberg summit, now under way in Madrid, turned 70 years old. But the controversial and secretive gathering of the world’s elites shows no signs of slowing down. For decades the Bilderberg meeting, where the rich and the powerful gather behind closed doors to talk about what ails the world, has been the subject – understandably – of conspiracy theories. In recent years, Bilderberg has sought to remake itself and open up a little: more Davos than Illuminati. But it still raises hackles from many observers. Its beady eyes, twinkling with billionaires, are this year fixed firmly on the future. Specifically, the “future of warfare”. And with conflicts raging from Sudan to Ukraine to Gaza, it feels like it is the spirit of the age. This grim subject is being thrashed out under the hum of police drones hovering over the hotel, making sure such luminaries as the king of the Netherlands and the head of Nato are safe inside. Even by Bilderberg standards, the security at this year’s conference is intense, but it managed to gear up even more when the Spanish king’s entourage swept into the venue past a traffic jam of police vans. The heightened security is perhaps a reflection of the threats and “challenges” packed into the conference agenda: Russia, China, the Middle East, the climate – while the session on Ukraine, titled Ukraine and the World, has a worrying hint of a wider world war. And when the topic of the Changing Faces of Biology is being discussed by the CEO of Pfizer, the head of the EU Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, and the man who led the Human Genome Project, you can almost hear the alarm bells over the police sirens. The world of Bilderberg in 2024 throbs with threats; it’s what conference participant Alexander Stubb, the president of Finland, recently described as “the weaponisation of everything”. It’s a world of “hybrid attacks” driven by disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence. There’s even a session on AI safety at this year’s gathering, one of two sessions devoted to AI, securing its place at the head of Bilderberg’s agenda. The conference hall is heaving with tech luminaries, including the heads of Google DeepMind, Microsoft AI, Mistral AI and Anthropic, making the event a high-level AI summit in its own right. Many of these AI chiefs are tech optimists; Demis Hassabis, the CEO of Google DeepMind, recently raved about AI “spreading consciousness to the stars”. But the contingent of US national security officials, who have flowed in from Washington for these talks, tend to take a more worldly and weaponised view of the subject. They’re led by the deputy national security adviser, Jonathan Finer, and Jen Easterly, the director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. They are joined by one of the US’s most senior soldiers, the supreme allied commander Europe, Christopher Cavoli, who warned recently that the conflict with Russia was shaping up to be a “long fight”. So the immediate future of war sounds like it’ll be more war....

UK: Five ministers included in Gaza war crimes complaint submitted to police https://politicsthisweek.wordpress.com/2024/05/30/not-the-bcfm-politics-show-presented-by-tony-gosling-192/ A 60-page complaint by legal advocacy group ICJP accuses Israel of using 'starvation as a weapon of war’ and 'wilfully causing great suffering' https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/uk-five-ministers-named-gaza-war-crimes-complaint-submitted-police The International Centre for Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) submitted a new complaint to British police on Wednesday, accusing Israel of using "starvation as a weapon of war" and "wilfully causing great suffering to a civilian population". Echoing the reasoning laid out by International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Khan on Monday, the London-based advocacy group highlighted that both accusations were criminal offences under British and international law. The filings by the ICJP this week follow an earlier complaint in January against senior UK politicians, including ministers, alleging their complicity in war crimes committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip. Four senior ministers were included in that complaint and the new accusations include the addition of another, totalling five. The organisation says that Wednesday's complaint is one of the most comprehensive submitted to Scotland Yard, the headquarters of the Metropolitan police, regarding Israel's military campaign in Gaza. At 60 pages long, it also contains an 800-page annex containing evidence including expert reports, eyewitness testimonies and reports by medical staff who have worked in Gaza. The complaint was compiled by the ICJP teams, which include former British police officers who were collecting evidence to UK police standards. Scotland Yard's War Crimes Investigation Team will now consider the evidence contained within the complaint. "We intend to ensure that allegations of war crimes against suspected Israeli war criminals and those who enable them are prosecuted, whether that be at the ICC, in the UK or across the globe," said ICJP director Tayab Ali. "We will ensure that there will be no place for suspected war criminals to hide, especially not the UK." On Monday, ICC prosecutors announced their application for arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as three leaders of Hamas. Britain's Deputy Foreign Secretary Andrew Mitchell accused the ICC of making "unworthy and ludicrous" comparisons by issuing arrest warrants for Hamas and Israeli leaders together. "We do not believe the ICC prosecutor seeking warrants will help with a ceasefire. As we have said from the outset, we do not think the ICC has jurisdiction in this case." Israel's war on Gaza has drawn widespread condemnation and is the subject of an ongoing genocide case at the International Court of Justice. More than 35,000 Palestinians have been killed since October, the vast majority of them women and children.

some of those advancing these ideas have subsequently celebrated the most terrible actions. There were actually voices in academia who described the pogrom of October 7th as de-colonisation in action.  Mahvish Ahmad, assistant professor in human rights and politics at the London School of Economics responded to the Hamas massacre by saying that decolonisation ‘is not a metaphor’. And an associate professor at McMaster University in Canada, Ameil J Joseph, occupied the same intellectual terrain. ‘Post-colonial, anti-colonial and decolonial are not just words you heard in your EDI [equality, diversity and inclusion] workshop’, he tweeted. https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/secretary-of-states-speech-on-anti-semitism Michael Gove, the housing secretary, will today accuse organisers of pro-Palestinian marches of not doing enough to stop some demonstrators spreading anti-Jewish rhetoric. https://politicsthisweek.wordpress.com/2024/05/30/not-the-bcfm-politics-show-presented-by-tony-gosling-192/ Speech by Rt Hon Michael Gove MP, Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities. Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and The Rt Hon Michael Gove 21 May 2024 So far right figures – like Nick Griffin, formerly of the BNP, Mark Collett of an organisation called Patriotic Alternative, Jayda Fransen of Britain First, and Jim Dowson, a transatlantic hate preacher – have been invited to share space with Islamist advocates and broadcast from Islamist platforms, where the common focus of concern is Jewish influence, the Jewish state, the Jewish threat. And on the extreme Left, academics such as Professor David Miller and groups such as the Socialist Workers’ Party, the Socialist Party and the Revolutionary Communist Party jostle to share platforms with Islamist groupings, deploy aggressive language about “Zionists”, support calls for intifada and praising te the resistance - a synonym for Hamas - in terms that Jewish students say cause them physical fear. And extreme Islamist groups then weaponise this growing antisemitism to divide Muslim from Muslim. Islamists have demanded that mosques become no-go zones for “Zionists”, that inter-faith dialogue exclude any Jewish voice sympathetic to Israel’s existence, and that believers show that they are truly faithful by demonstrating their commitment in the fight against Israel. By making ardour against Israel and hostility to Jewish voices the litmus test of how good a Muslim you are, Islamists polarise and divide our Muslim communities. That is why none of us can afford to be indifferent to the increasing prevalence of antisemitism in our society. There is a reason television series about the 1930s are called “A Lesson from History”. A growth in antisemitism is both a precursor of greater hate and an enabler of further extremism. Antisemitic tropes which encourage people to think criticism of Israel is muted or censored by Jewish control of the media feed into greater distrust of the “MSM”. That leads to a greater willingness to believe in conspiracy theories and a stronger propensity to seek out “alternative” truth tellers - whether on incel message boards, anti-vax YouTube channels, far-right Telegram groups or Islamist podcasts. And thus,The common ground on which our democracy depends is eroded.

Bilderberg 2024: Who Will Lead NATO's War On Russia As 4th Reich Convenes in Madrid? https://politicsthisweek.wordpress.com/2024/05/30/not-the-bcfm-politics-show-presented-by-tony-gosling-192/ War, AI and more war: the 2024 Bilderberg agenda is sure to set off alarm bells https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/01/bilderberg-meeting-spain The secretive annual summit has tried to counter its arcane reputation, but its guest list still reads like a conspiracist’s who’s who of who rules the world Charlie Skelton in Madrid Sat 1 Jun 2024 11.00 BST This year the Bilderberg summit, now under way in Madrid, turned 70 years old. But the controversial and secretive gathering of the world’s elites shows no signs of slowing down. For decades the Bilderberg meeting, where the rich and the powerful gather behind closed doors to talk about what ails the world, has been the subject – understandably – of conspiracy theories. In recent years, Bilderberg has sought to remake itself and open up a little: more Davos than Illuminati. But it still raises hackles from many observers. Its beady eyes, twinkling with billionaires, are this year fixed firmly on the future. Specifically, the “future of warfare”. And with conflicts raging from Sudan to Ukraine to Gaza, it feels like it is the spirit of the age. This grim subject is being thrashed out under the hum of police drones hovering over the hotel, making sure such luminaries as the king of the Netherlands and the head of Nato are safe inside. Even by Bilderberg standards, the security at this year’s conference is intense, but it managed to gear up even more when the Spanish king’s entourage swept into the venue past a traffic jam of police vans. The heightened security is perhaps a reflection of the threats and “challenges” packed into the conference agenda: Russia, China, the Middle East, the climate – while the session on Ukraine, titled Ukraine and the World, has a worrying hint of a wider world war. And when the topic of the Changing Faces of Biology is being discussed by the CEO of Pfizer, the head of the EU Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, and the man who led the Human Genome Project, you can almost hear the alarm bells over the police sirens. The world of Bilderberg in 2024 throbs with threats; it’s what conference participant Alexander Stubb, the president of Finland, recently described as “the weaponisation of everything”. It’s a world of “hybrid attacks” driven by disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence. There’s even a session on AI safety at this year’s gathering, one of two sessions devoted to AI, securing its place at the head of Bilderberg’s agenda. The conference hall is heaving with tech luminaries, including the heads of Google DeepMind, Microsoft AI, Mistral AI and Anthropic, making the event a high-level AI summit in its own right. Many of these AI chiefs are tech optimists; Demis Hassabis, the CEO of Google DeepMind, recently raved about AI “spreading consciousness to the stars”. But the contingent of US national security officials, who have flowed in from Washington for these talks, tend to take a more worldly and weaponised view of the subject. They’re led by the deputy national security adviser, Jonathan Finer, and Jen Easterly, the director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. They are joined by one of the US’s most senior soldiers, the supreme allied commander Europe, Christopher Cavoli, who warned recently that the conflict with Russia was shaping up to be a “long fight”. So the immediate future of war sounds like it’ll be more war. It’s just sad that Henry Kissinger isn’t here to enjoy it. The elder statesman of Bilderberg died in November at the age of 100. Certainly the world’s military – and the industries that surround it – take Bilderberg seriously. Gen Cavoli is taking time out from leading a “wholesale modernization” of Nato’s defence capabilities to attend the Madrid conference. His boss at Nato, Jens Stoltenberg, is attending his last Bilderberg as secretary general. His successor is hotly tipped to be Mark Rutte, the outgoing Dutch prime minister. Rutte is a Bilderberg regular, and doubtless the group will be delighted, though perhaps not surprised, if yet another of their charmed circle lands a top job. The other prime minister here in Madrid is Estonia’s Kaja Kallas, who said recently that “openness is our greatest weapon” in free societies. “At its core,” she said, “openness represents getting rid of barriers that hinder the flow of information.” Sadly, we won’t know if she talks at Bilderberg about openness, because of all the barriers hindering the flow of information. We do know that Kallas believes that on the battlefield, “Ukraine has out-innovated Russia, fielding entirely new weapons systems” – some of which will have been developed by the tech companies at this year’s conference. Time magazine has dubbed Ukraine “an AI war lab”, and the Economist agrees.....

Bilderberg 2024: Who Will Lead NATO's War On Russia As 4th Reich Convenes in Madrid https://politicsthisweek.wordpress.com/2024/05/30/not-the-bcfm-politics-show-presented-by-tony-gosling-192/ Map Shows Ukraine's Record-Breaking Hits on Russian Nuclear Warning Sites https://www.newsweek.com/map-ukraine-record-breaking-hits-russian-nuclear-warning-radar-1905221 Ukraine May Have Just Crossed Putin's Nuclear Red Line By David Brennan Diplomatic Correspondent Russia's nuclear ballistic missile early warning radar network has emerged as a key target of long-range Ukrainian strikes, with three facilities having now been attacked by Kyiv's drones in the past two months. Two such strikes occurred in the past week. First, a drone hit a "Voronezh-DM" radar at the Armavir Radar Station in the southern Krasnodar region on May 22. The site is home to two Voronezh-DM radars with a range of around 6,000 kilometers (3,730 miles). The attack appeared to have damaged a building housing one of the radars, RFE/RL's Russian Service reported. The site is more than 300 miles from the closest territory currently under Kyiv's control. The Armavir attack was quickly followed by a more ambitious strike. On May 26, a Ukrainian drone traveled some 930 miles from Kyiv-controlled territory to target a Voronezh-M radar near the city of Orsk, in the Orenburg region close to the border with Kazakhstan. The extent of any damage at the site in Orsk is as yet unclear. But the attack may represent the longest-range Ukrainian drone strike to date, the list of targets steadily growing as Kyiv prioritizes Russia's long-range radar and oil-producing facilities. The Kyiv Independent cited an anonymous military intelligence source as saying the drone used in Sunday's attack flew 1,118 miles; further than the 930 miles claimed in a recent strike on an oil processing plant in Russia's Bashkiria region. Reuters cited an unnamed Ukrainian intelligence source who confirmed the dual drone strikes. Asked why Russia's long-range radars were being targeted, the source replied: "They monitor the actions of the Ukrainian security and defense forces in the south of Ukraine." Newsweek has contacted the Russian Defense Ministry by email to request comment. Ukraine began its nascent campaign against Russia's early warning radar network in April, with successive drone strikes on the 590th separate radio engineering center of military unit 84680 in the city of Kovylkino, in the Mordovia Republic around 360 miles from the Ukrainian border. The site is home to a 29B6 "Container" over-the-horizon radar, which forms part of Russia's reconnaissance and early-warning network for aerospace attacks, including those by ballistic missiles. Voronezh-M radar sites like those targeted in Armavir and Orsk are also used for this purpose. Ukrainian drone during testing near Kyiv 2023 Russia has at least five other radar sites hosting Voronezh-M systems. Two are located in the west of the country, at the Lekhtusi Radar Station close to St. Petersburg and at the Pionersky Radar Station in the Kaliningrad exclave. Three are spread across Siberia, at the Mishelevka Radar Station near the city of Irkutsk, at a site close to the city of Yeniseysk in Krasnoyarsk Krai region, and near the Altai Krai region's city of Barnaul. Additional Voronezh-M radar stations are planned for construction close to the city of Sevastopol in occupied Crimea, near the Arctic Circle city of Olenogorsk in Murmansk region, and near the city of Vorkuta in the northern Komi Republic, also in the Arctic region.

Right time for taxes on wealth https://politicsthisweek.wordpress.com/2024/05/30/not-the-bcfm-politics-show-presented-by-tony-gosling-192/ https://www.taxjustice.uk/blog/right-time-for-taxes-on-wealth Forbes has released its annual ‘Billionaire List’. It shows that there are more billionaires than ever before, and they have increased their wealth to record levels. The Forbes wealth editor stated that ‘It’s been an amazing year for the world’s richest people’. This comes at a time of massive global instability, staggering inequality and an urgent need to combat climate and environmental breakdown. According to Forbes, there are 55 billionaires in the UK. Showcasing the massive intergenerational transfer of wealth, every single billionaire under the age of 30 - of which there are 15 - inherited their riches. Just one billion is a staggering amount of money. In fact, if a teacher on the average salary saved every single penny they earned, it would take over 30,000 years to become a billionaire. Raising revenue The level of wealth on display also highlights how much revenue would be raised by introducing wealth taxes. Our work on just six taxes on wealth shows that up to £50 billion a year could be raised and go straight into public services. That’s money to pay for nurses, doctors and dentists and resuscitate Britain’s ailing health service. As Tax Justice UK Executive Director, Robert Palmer, said on Twitter, world leaders need to ensure the super-rich pay their fair share. You can share his response here. Making the right case You may be surprised to see, but taxes on wealth do have popularity across the political spectrum. In a recently published collection of essays for the centre-right think tank, Bright Blue, Conservative MP John Penrose makes just this case. While we may not agree on all points, Penrose argues that rebalancing our tax system from work to wealth would be better. He argues that Britain taxes income in a ‘thoroughly regressive way by systematically giving a better deal to the rich at the expense of the poor’. Taxing wealth at the same rate of work would be a popular proposition. The Fairness Foundation recently commissioned public opinion polling that showed two in three people (65%) support reforming capital gains tax so that income from wealth is taxed either at the same rate or at a higher rate than income from work. Bright Blue also published a report in 2022 proposing that wealth should be taxed at higher levels, offset by a reduction in taxes on work. The think tank argued that wealth should be taxed at higher levels to respond to rising accumulation of wealth, and the role of inheritances in determining life outcomes.

Bilderbergers lead EU, NATO, IMF and UN https://www.ots.at/presseaussendung/OTE_20240528_OTE0003/bilderbergers-lead-eu-nato-imf-and-un https://tntradio.live/shows/patrick-henningsen-show/ Prague (OTS) - Since 2019, EU, NATO, IMF, and UN have been chaired by people who attended confidential Bilderberg conference(s) prior to their appointment. Bilderbergers also occupy other top positions like the heads of the European Council, European Central Bank and Eurogroup. French president Macron is Bilderberger and the day after his inauguration, Bilderberger Philippe became Prime Minister. Macron's candidate, Bilderberger Georgieva, leads IMF thanks to change of selection rules. These indicia of elite cronyism are summarized in new peer-reviewed study. Bilderberg will soon hold another conference. At the meeting in 2016, member of Bilderberg's steering committee Barroso lobbied for Georgieva's nomination to the post of UN Secretary General. Eventually, this position was won by Bilderberger Guterres. During his mandate, two Bilderbergers (Moratinos and Hennis-Plasschaert) became UN representatives. In 2019, Georgieva was appointed the director of IMF. She did not meet the criteria for this job, but the rules were sidestepped or changed. The decisive factor was Georgieva's backing from Macron. In EU, Bilderbergers occupy the posts of president of the European Commission (von der Leyen), member of the European Commission (Urpilainen, Vestager), president of ECB (Lagarde), president of Eurogroup (Donohoe), president of the European Council (Michel). „Von der Leyen and Michel attended the same Bilderberg conference in 2015 and in 2019 they both gained highest positions in EU,“ the study emphasizes. NATO is also striking. „All post-Cold War general secretaries of NATO participated at some Bilderberg conference prior to their appointment (…) Both Wörner and Solana had Bilderberg première in 1985,“ the study highlights. Macron attended Bilderberg conclave in May-June 2014. Already in August 2014, under Prime Minister Bilderberger Valls, Macron was chosen to lead key ministry of economy. And after Macron reached presidency in 2017, Bilderberger Philippe became Prime Minister. „Philippe attended Bilderberg conference in 2016, at that time as mere mayor,“ the study stresses. Other Bilderbergers received top positions at World Bank (Wolfensohn, Wolfowitz, Melkert, Zoellick, Heemskerk) and WTO (Ruggiero, Lamy). The then member of Bilderberg's steering committee Jordan secured invitation to Bilderberg conference in 1991 for Clinton and introduced him as „the next President of the United States”. Also due to Jordan's help, Clinton really became US president in 1993. In 1995, as Jordan wanted, Clinton installed Wolfensohn into World Bank.

Palestinian officials in Gaza are warning that Israel is giving no indication of re-opening the vital Rafah crossing - PressTV Palestinian officials in Gaza are warning that Israel is giving no indication of re-opening the vital Rafah crossing after three weeks of closure.The Palestinian health minister says Israel will only end its blockade on the crossing if the international community holds it accountable. International Outrage Over Israel’s Rafah Tent Massacre Has Not Slowed IDF Offensive Sanjana Karanth Wed, 29 May 2024 at 12:46 am BST·4-min read All Eyes On Rafah https://uk.news.yahoo.com/international-outrage-over-israel-rafah-234601749.html Despite immediately facing outrage from the international community for killing dozens of displaced Palestinians in an attack that set a tent camp in Rafah, Gaza, ablaze, Israel is continuing its deadly military offensive that is destroying so-called safe zones that are housing people with nowhere else to go. Israeli forces bombed a displacement camp in Tal al-Sultan on Sunday night, engulfing the tents sheltering Palestinians in flames. Gruesome footage showed charred corpses, people burned alive and children’s bodies torn apart. The Israeli attack killed at least 45 people and wounded hundreds more, and it resulted in condemnation and expressions of horror from many in the international community. Despite the Israel Defense Forces claiming the attack was precision-based, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the bombing was a “tragic mistake.” But less than 48 hours later, Israel bombed another makeshift tent camp in a designated civilian evacuation zone. Gaza emergency officials said that Israeli forces attacked a cluster of tents in Al-Mawasi, an overcrowded coastal strip with no infrastructure that Israel had ordered refugees in Rafah to move to for safety. The shelling killed at least 21 people, more than half of them women and girls, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. A Palestinian boy cries next to the bodies of those killed in an Israeli attack Monday west of Rafah, Gaza. At least 21 people were killed as Israeli forces shelled a tent camp in Al-Mawasi, the third such attack on areas designated by Israel as 'safe'. A Palestinian boy cries next to the bodies of those killed in an Israeli attack Monday west of Rafah, Gaza. At least 21 people were killed as Israeli forces shelled a tent camp in Al-Mawasi, the third such attack on areas designated by Israel as "safe zones" in the last 48 hours, the Rafah Emergency Committee said. Hani Alshaer/Anadolu via Getty Images “People are shocked, people cannot talk, people found theirselves gathering the remains of human bodies, of their beloved ones,” freelance journalist Bisan Owda said in an Instagram video on Tuesday, speaking over the sound of aircraft. “So, I just cannot describe anything because I’m afraid of looking under my feet because people are still collecting human pieces,” she said before showing one of the blood-spattered tents. “See the blood? See the blood and the shrapnels here and there ― all these shrapnels, the holes in the blanket, killed people inside.” The IDF denied on social media that it attacked the humanitarian area in Al-Mawasi. But Palestinian journalists on the ground in Gaza refuted the military’s claims. “I went back just now to the last leaflet that Israelis dropped on Rafah, and a place that was targeted right now was Block 2360,” Al Jazeera correspondent Hind Khoudary said Tuesday, referring to the leaflets the IDF airdropped earlier this year to order Palestinians to evacuate Rafah. “In this leaflet, the Israeli forces mentioned that they’re calling people to evacuate to all the humanitarian areas – to Deir al-Balah, to Khan Younis and Al-Mawasi area ― and one of these areas that was mentioned is Block 2360, which has been targeted right now,” Khoudary said. “So yes, this place was designated as safe, this place was designated as a humanitarian area, according to the last leaflet that was dropped by the Israeli forces on people in Rafah.”...

22 charities welcome ICJ order to halt Israel’s military offensive in Rafah, urge UK to uphold its measures https://www.map.org.uk/news/archive/post/1589-22-charities-welcome-icj-order-to-halt-israelas-military-offensive-in-rafah-urge-uk-to-uphold-its-measures “As an aid worker in Gaza the current situation is deeply distressing. The feeling of helplessness and frustration is overwhelming. Our primary mission is to help those in need, but with the borders closed and no aid coming in, our hands are tied. We are acutely aware of the worsening conditions and the urgent needs of people, and it is heartbreaking to witness their suffering without being able to provide the necessary support.” https://politicsthisweek.wordpress.com/2024/05/23/not-the-bcfm-politics-show-presented-by-tony-gosling-191/ On 24 May 2024, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered additional provisional measures regarding Israel’s alleged violations in Gaza of obligations under the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The court ordered that, in light of the worsening conditions in Rafah, Israel must immediately halt its military offensive, and any other action in the Rafah governorate, which may subject the Palestinian population in Gaza to conditions of life that may lead to their physical destruction, in whole or in part. The court described the conditions in Rafah as ‘disastrous’ and is ‘not convinced that the evacuation efforts and related measures that Israel affirms to have undertaken to enhance the security of civilians in the Gaza Strip, and in particular those recently displaced from the Rafah Governorate, are sufficient to alleviate the immense risk to which the Palestinian population is exposed as a result of the military offensive in Rafah.’ The ICJ reaffirmed provisional measures indicated in its orders of 26 January 2024, and 28 March 2024, applicable throughout Gaza, including Rafah, and called for their immediate and effective implementation. This includes the unhindered provision at scale of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance, and the maintained opening of land crossing points, particularly the Rafah crossing. The Court also ordered Israel to allow unhindered access for any commission of inquiry, fact-finding initiatives or other UN bodies to investigate allegations of genocide. It also reiterated calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. Israel is required to submit a report one month from today, outlining all measures taken to comply with these orders. The UK must unreservedly accept the findings and orders of the Court. As a signatory to the Genocide Convention and the UN Charter, the UK must ensure that the Court's decisions are respected and enacted, by way of public statements and concrete policy actions. Failure to do so not only risks further loss of civilian lives, it also risks unravelling the very foundations of the international rules-based system and international justice. The application of justice and accountability for international crimes can never be selective. Inconsistency enables impunity. The situation in Gaza has deteriorated significantly, despite the ICJ’s 26 January order that Israeli authorities must prevent and punish acts of genocide. Since 8 October, at least 35,000 Palestinians have been killed, with thousands left under the rubble, and nearly 80,000 have been injured. The population is being starved, with mass destruction of civilian infrastructure and little access to clean water, sanitation and healthcare under Israel’s continued indiscriminate bombardment and deliberate and systematic deprivation of aid in Gaza. The UK must now do everything in its power to ensure that Israel complies with its obligations under international law, including in respect of all of the measures ordered by the ICJ. The Israeli government has already failed to comply with the ICJ’s orders, and the UK must urgently use every available lever to ensure its compliance, urgently halt Israel’s assault on Rafah, and demand an immediate and lasting ceasefire. This includes suspending arms transfers to Israel for as long as there is a risk they may be used to violate international law. The UK must uphold its signatory obligations under the convention to prevent and punish the crime of genocide, and must ensure that it is in no way enabling, or otherwise complicit, in the commission of acts that the Court has found could plausibly be in violation of the Genocide Convention...

UK: Five ministers included in Gaza war crimes complaint submitted to police https://politicsthisweek.wordpress.com/2024/05/23/not-the-bcfm-politics-show-presented-by-tony-gosling-191/ A 60-page complaint by legal advocacy group ICJP accuses Israel of using 'starvation as a weapon of war’ and 'wilfully causing great suffering' https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/uk-five-ministers-named-gaza-war-crimes-complaint-submitted-police The International Centre for Justice for Palestinians(ICJP) submitted a new complaint to Britishpolice on Wednesday, accusing Israel of using "starvation as a weapon of war" and "wilfully causing great suffering to a civilian population". Echoing the reasoning laid out by International Criminal Court prosecutor Karim Khan on Monday, the London-based advocacy group highlighted that both accusations were criminal offences under British and international law. The filings by the ICJP this week follow an earlier complaint in January against senior UK politicians, including ministers, alleging their complicity in war crimes committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip. Four senior ministers were included in that complaint and the new accusations include the addition of another, totalling five. The organisation says that Wednesday's complaint is one of the most comprehensive submitted to Scotland Yard, the headquarters of the Metropolitan police, regarding Israel's military campaign in Gaza. At 60 pages long, it also contains an 800-page annex containing evidence including expert reports, eyewitness testimonies and reports by medical staff who have worked in Gaza. The complaint was compiled by the ICJP teams, which include former British police officers who were collecting evidence to UK police standards. Scotland Yard's War Crimes Investigation Team will now consider the evidence contained within the complaint. Israel responding to ICC with 'political blitz' to undermine court Read More » "We intend to ensure that allegations of war crimes against suspected Israeli war criminals and those who enable them are prosecuted, whether that be at the ICC, in the UK or across the globe," said ICJP director Tayab Ali. "We will ensure that there will be no place for suspected war criminals to hide, especially not the UK." On Monday, ICC prosecutors announced their application for arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as three leaders of Hamas. Britain's Deputy Foreign Secretary Andrew Mitchell accused the ICC of making "unworthy and ludicrous" comparisons by issuing arrest warrants for Hamas and Israeli leaders together. "We do not believe the ICC prosecutor seeking warrants will help with a ceasefire. As we have said from the outset, we do not think the ICC has jurisdiction in this case." Israel's war on Gaza has drawn widespread condemnation and is the subject of an ongoing genocide case at the International Court of Justice. More than 35,000 Palestinians have been killed since October, the vast majority of them women and children.

Against Landlords:How to Solve the Housing Crisis https://politicsthisweek.wordpress.com/2024/05/23/not-the-bcfm-politics-show-presented-by-tony-gosling-191/ by Nick Bano / 240 pages / March 2024 / 9781804293874 https://www.versobooks.com/en-gb/products/2956-against-landlords When landlords always win and renters pay the price, what can be done? Housing means prosperity and security for some; poverty, precarity and sickness for others. More people live in private rented accommodation than ever before, and rents rise without apparent reason. Homes are smaller every year, and nearly 20 per cent of tenants live in hazardous conditions. Homelessness is at a new high. Yet the government’s only solution is to promote homeownership. Against Landlords shows that this crisis is not the product of happenstance or political incompetence. Government policy has intentionally split British citizens into homeowners and renters, two classes set on very different financial paths. In the UK, one out of every twenty-one adults is a landlord, and it is this group, and those who aspire to join it, represented by the political class. In his radical new interpretation of the housing crisis, lawyer Nick Bano explains how this environment set the conditions for the Grenfell Tower fire and how it means a life of anxiety for the nation’s renters. It is a problem that stretches far beyond London and one inherently racist in nature. Building more housing is not the solution. It is firstly a problem of the law, Bano argues, and reforms must sweep away the landlordism at the heart of the housing crisis and British political life.

The Lost Tribe of Fleet Street Whatever happened to the labour and industrial correspondents? Edited by Nicholas Jones Published March 2011 https://politicsthisweek.wordpress.com/2024/05/23/not-the-bcfm-politics-show-presented-by-tony-gosling-191/ The Lost Tribe of Fleet Street records the exploits of the Labour and Industrial Correspondents' Group, a once elite and prolific band of journalists whose demise has passed by almost unnoticed. The Labour governments of Clement Attlee, Harold Wilson and Jim Callaghan were their heyday when trade union influence was at its highest. Reporters well versed in the affairs of the wider labour movement were able to elbow aside political correspondents and gain direct access to Prime Ministers and their Cabinets. Margaret Thatcher's Premiership, although a decade of catastrophic defeat for the unions, was another headline-grabbing era for journalists on the industrial beat. But the growth of the City of London as a world financial centre finally put paid to the authoritative reporting of old. In recent years business news has ruled supreme and now dominates the way the fortunes of Britain's major employers - and their employees - are reported by press, radio, television and now the internet. A hostile take-over bid or volatility in exchange rates and share prices is far more likely to capture the attention of the news media than an in depth examination of a pay dispute or the impact plant closures and redundancies.

Iranian Embassy holds memorial ceremony on the martyrdom of Iranian President and his companions 21 May، 2024 https://sana.sy/en/?p=331251 Damascus, SANA-Iranian Embassy in Damascus held on Tuesday a memorial ceremony and opened a register of condolences on the martyrdom of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian and their companions following the crash of the helicopter they were traveling onboard. Speaker of the People’s Assembly, Hammouda Sabbagh, several ministers and officials extended their condolences at the Iranian chancery in Damascus. “In my name and on behalf of the members of the People’s Assembly, I extend my deepest condolences and sincere fraternal feelings, and sincere prayers for the Iranian people in that painful event, praying to God to have mercy upon their souls,” Sabbagh said in the condolence. In a press statement, Sabbagh described relations between Syria and Iran as stong and deep-rooted and the two peoples are linked by great ties. Buthaina Shaaban, Special Adviser at the Republic Presidency, also extended her condolence, saying that the two deceased were sincere and honest, working throughout their careers to bring truth, peace and justice to the entire world. “The loss is shared by us and by the world and by everyone who believes in peace and who stands in the face of war and terrorism,” Shaaban said. The Iranian Ambassador in Damascus, Hussein Akbari, offered his condolences to the Iranian people and all the peoples in the countries of the axis of resistance and all the free people of the world over the painful incident, thanking the Syrian government and all the mourners and appreciating their attendance and sympathy. “This is an indication of deep and strategic relations linking Syria and Iran,” the Ambassador said. Iranian News Agency announced on Monday the martyrdom of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian, and the delegation accompanying them as a result of the helicopter crash that was carrying them in East Azerbaijan Province.

King Charles, saviur of planet Earth, Skin How the monarchy cashes in on our seabed The royal family has made millions from the exploitation of the seabed—a resource that belongs to us all. Is it time for people and planet to be put ahead of profit? By Guy Standing July 19, 2023 https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/monarchy/62141/how-the-monarchy-cashes-in-on-our-seabed Ever since ancient Rome, the sea, seabed and seashore have been accepted as part of the commons—res communes omnium—belonging to everybody equally, and inalienable as state or private property. The commons as a distinct form of property was taken forward in Magna Carta and the Charter of the Forest of 1217, the twin bedrocks of common law and all democracies. A commons depends on the “sovereign”—in the UK’s case, the monarchy—acting as steward or trustee, with responsibility for preserving it for generations to come. For more than 650 years, following a ruling by King Edward I in 1299, the monarchy accepted this positive duty, known as the Public Trust Doctrine. However, in the past 60 years, the monarchy has gradually plundered the blue commons—the seabed around the British Isles—transforming it into nothing less than a rentier capitalist empire. That empire, in the decade since 2013, is thought to have earned the royal family in the region of £193m. The new king, Charles III, who while heir to the throne established a reputation as an environment protector, has inherited and continues to profit from this system. The evolution began in 1961, two years after the discovery in Dutch waters of large quantities of North Sea gas. The Crown Estate was constituted by an act of parliament to manage the assets belonging to the monarchy, with a mandate to maximise revenue and capital value for the Treasury. As King, Charles is not involved in managing these assets; they are not the monarch’s personal property but “the sovereign’s public estate”, managed by the Crown Estate supposedly in the public interest. At the time, the Crown had no ownership rights in the sea beyond the lower-tide mark on the seashore. Indeed, in 1951 the Labour foreign secretary, Herbert Morrison, had declared that the sea around Britain was not the property of the state or anybody. But in 1962, as was revealed much later, the Queen privately told the first commissioner of the Estate—the leader of the board running the corporation’s commercial interests—that she had seen something about “taking over rights on land under the sea”. In fact, the Estate’s legal adviser in 1959 had proposed enshrining in law the extension of Crown lands to the whole of the continental shelf. Other Estate officials advised against trying to extend rights to the seabed, because this would draw attention to the fact that no existing legislation gave such ownership. However, prompted by the passing of a UN convention that granted states rights to the continental shelves by their shores, and by drilling companies seeking legal clarity on ownership of the seabed in expectation of finding commercial oil and gas reserves, the outgoing Conservative government of Alec Douglas-Home passed the Continental Shelf Act in 1964. It gave the Crown Estate precisely the rights it had earlier refrained from seeking. This granting of ownership to the Crown Estate was a huge enclosure of the commons but did not change the fact that the seabed was still part of the commons. The Crown, and the government as its agent, became the seabed’s steward, responsible for preserving it. All at sea: the Crown Estate (and in Scotland, the separate Crown Estate Scotland) owns the seabed to 12 nautical miles out. It also holds rights to explore and use natural resources (except oil, coal and gas) and generate renewable power on the UK’s continental shelf All at sea: the Crown Estate (and in Scotland, the separate Crown Estate Scotland) owns the seabed to 12 nautical miles out. It also holds rights to explore and use natural resources (except oil, coal and gas) and generate renewable power on the UK’s continental shelf © Prospect As a business, the Crown Estate grew at a modest rate during the following decades, returning all revenue to the Treasury while the monarch received a fixed sum—the annual “civil list”—to pay for royal expenses. The Estate’s marine activities did not include the North Sea oil and gas bonanza, for although the Crown owns the oil and gas found beneath the sea, as beneath the land, their exploitation is managed by the government and its agencies. In the 1980s, the Thatcher government sold leases on lots in the North Sea to oil companies at ridiculously low prices, taking the revenue as a windfall profit to pay for tax cuts. This was a blatant depletion of the commons, in sharp contrast to Norway’s decision to use its
