Decades of broken promises, military aggression, and Israeli pressure have left Tehran with no reason to trust Washington, says a US-based analyst.
In an interview with the Press TV website, E. Michael Jones, author and editor of Culture Wars Magazine, said it would be “foolish” to put “trust in a regime which violates its own word repeatedly,” referring to the Donald Trump administration.
“Iranians have learned their lesson and will not put themselves in jeopardy again. The US cannot be trusted,” he noted.
Mistrust is not a tactical posture but the logical outcome of experience, Jones said, adding that the United States, particularly under Trump, has demonstrated “again and again” that it does not feel bound by its own international commitments.
That mistrust is sharpened by Trump’s record on international obligations, he remarked. (more...)
At Web Summit Qatar in Doha, Middle East Eye’s Mohamed Hashem sits down with Paul Biggar, founder of Tech for Palestine, to examine the big tech industry’s role in the genocide in Gaza. Biggar asserts that major corporations, including Google, Microsoft, and Palantir, are directly complicit by providing the technical infrastructure used by Israel to carry out crimes against humanity.
The discussion explores the systemic shift of tech power over the last two decades, detailing howcoll the sector has moved from an alternative ecosystem to one that aligns with billionaire interests and government oppression. Biggar outlines the necessity of "ethical tech" that prioritises human rights over profit and explains how Tech for Palestine operates as an incubator for advocacy projects, including widespread boycott and divestment tools.
John and Charles examine the historical evolution of British Israelism, explaining how a movement that once claimed solidarity with Jewish restoration gradually transformed into a racialized theology. The discussion walks through the 19th and early 20th centuries, showing how ideas about the “lost tribes” merged with post-Civil War white supremacist thought in the United States.
The conversation then follows the decisive break that led to Christian Identity theology, where earlier pro-Jewish positions were reversed and replaced with claims of racial supremacy. Along the way, John examines how these ideas influenced early Pentecostalism, healing revival figures, and later movements, helping listeners understand why these doctrines remain relevant — and dangerous — today.
Steve Bannon’s “side-show” reading of the Arab Revolt parrots imperial myth, ignoring how Britain’s failures made that revolt decisive, and how Lawrence himself admitted it was a calculated swindle.
One of the greatest untold geopolitical stories of the modern era is how a former settler-colony that developed into a hegemonic superpower saved its former Imperial master from existential geopolitical disasters. How the United States provided salvation for Britain in two world wars and then inherited and maintained its former master’s imperialist global interests, especially in the Arabic-speaking region of West Asia, aka “Middle East” during the 20th century is a phenomenal story in itself.
Alongside this secular salvation, the United States maintained the foundational geopolitical mythology about the British presence in the Arabic speaking world. This particular mythology is based around the imperial agent T. E. Lawrence (aka “Lawrence of Arabia”). He is considered to have led the Arabs to freedom from Ottoman Rule in the “Arab Revolt” during World War One. Lawrence chronicled his adventures in his classic book, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom.
Steve Bannon, the former advisor to President Donald Trump, is the latest to fall gullibly for this foundational mythology in an interview with world-renowned journalist Tucker Carlson. Bannon is an advocate of “America First”, a strategy which calls for the prioritisation of United States interests instead of forever foreign wars, which are considered to mostly serve foreign governments. He recently drew an analogy of his interpretation of “America First” priorities with the “Arab Revolt” campaign during World War One. He told Carlson,
“I said to quote Thomas Edward Lawrence from the Seven Pillars of Wisdom what they told him at the time when he showed up at Cairo’s military headquarters. They said, “Look, the Middle East is a sideshow to the main event, the Western Front”. And the Arab revolt is a sideshow to a sideshow. And I said, “The Middle East right now for us with everything geopolitically going on and the economic war with China…The Middle East is a sideshow and the Israel issue is a sideshow to a sideshow.”
Bannon is loyally rehashing the lines from one of the opening scenes of David Lean’s film adaptation of Lawrence’s book. In this spectacular film, the actor Donald Wolfi,t who plays Lieutenant-General Archibald Murray growls the following:
“If you want to know my opinion, this whole theatre of operations is a side-show. The real war’s being fought against the Germans not the Turks. Not here, but on the Western front…in the trenches…And your “Bedouin Army” or whatever it calls itself – would be a side-show of a side-show.” (more...)
The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate on the hypocrisy EU and Canadian leaders put on display at the latest gathering of the World Economic Forum in Davos, as they attempted to push back on Trump's bid to steal Greenland from Denmark.
A new report shows the Canadian government investigated its own arms and armament selling to Israel in order to see if it could be held liable for its actions under international human rights law. Yara Shoufani and Johanna Lewis join Samira to discuss the report and Canada's use of the U.S loophole in order to continue selling weapons and parts to Israel.
John and Charles trace the origins of British Israelism, showing how pyramidology, zodiac mysticism, and speculative archaeology were blended into a theological system that reshaped ideas about race, identity, and biblical authority. The discussion explains how figures such as Charles Piazzi Smyth, John Wilson, and Charles A. L. Totten popularized the belief that the Great Pyramid and the Zodiac functioned as hidden “Bibles,” influencing later religious movements.
The conversation also examines how British Israelism migrated from the United Kingdom to the United States, where it took on a racialized framework that appealed to white supremacist ideology. By unpacking the theological claims, historical figures, and cultural consequences, the episode explains why British Israelism became a foundational influence for later cults and extremist religious systems.
The oligarchy is a slime mold, according to LaRouche. May take different forms, but has a consistent intent, to maintain its power. It is now vulnerable, exposed in its disgusting immorality by the Epstein scandal, for all to see. This evil empire must be replaced by a New Paradigm, in which universal principles, such as those of inalienable rights as defined in the U.S. Declaration of Independence are protected for all sovereign nations.
Link to Helga Zepp-LaRouche's Fundamental Principles for a new strategic and development architecture:
Half a century after the public learned that boys at a Belfast group home were sexually assaulted by senior staff, a key question remains unanswered: was British intelligence implicated in the abuse conspiracy, and did Kincora serve as a ‘honeypot’ to entrap and blackmail powerful figures?
A vast trove of declassified files on Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual, political, and intelligence escapades released by the US Department of Justice has once again thrust disgraced former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor into the spotlight. With British police reportedly reviewing Andrew’s past sexual activities and links to Epstein, questions are growing about whether Britain’s spy agencies were aware of Andrew’s alleged escapades with minors.
If the darkest rumors turn out to be true, it will not be the first time a British royal had been embroiled in a child rape conspiracy with spy agency involvement. Back in 1980, a scandal erupted when the Kincora Boys’ Home in occupied Ireland was exposed as a secret brothel run by powerful pedophiles. Chief among the alleged perpetrators was Lord Mountbatten — Andrew’s great-uncle.
From the very beginning, hints began to appear that MI5/MI6 knew of the child abuse taking place Kincora, and could have even been running the group home as part of a dastardly intelligence plot. With Britain’s domestic and foreign spies engaged in a savage dirty war in Ireland, and both services running operatives in Republican and Unionist paramilitaries, Kincora would have provided an ideal means of recruiting and compromising potential assets. Official investigations have strongly insinuated British intelligence chiefs had a close bond with many individuals who ran the Boys’ Home.
In May 2025, veteran BBC journalist Chris Moore published a forensic account of the case titled Kincora: Britain’s Shame. Featuring four and a half decades of firsthand research by the author, its groundbreaking contents have been met with general silence by British mainstream media. (more...)
This week we delve into two main stories, the brewing dispute between Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and the Judges of the province who are accusing the Premier of political interference, and then the dramatic arrests of eight Toronto police officers on allegations that they were collaborating with organized crime on auto theft, drug trafficking, extortion, and conspiracy to murder a corrections officer.
We welcome guests Edgar MacLeod, and Calvin Lawrence, who bring their insights after over 30 years each in policing.
Also discussed, the parole hearing for Cameron Ortis, another promotion for Bill Blair
In Jeffrey Epstein’s decade between 2009 and 2019 he tried ever so hard to meet the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin.
That’s to say, between Epstein’s release from prison on his Florida state conviction and sentence for procuring a minor for prostitution and for soliciting a prostitute, and then his re-arrest and imprisonment in New York on federal charges of sex trafficking of minors, he asked his staff, friends, business associates, US Government retirees, ex-government officials from Norway, Israel, UAE, and Japan, and Russia’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Vitaly Churkin (died in February 2017), to procure an invitation for him to meet Putin.
They succeeded in getting Epstein invitations to business promotions in Sochi, Vladivostok, and St. Petersburg, at which crowd meetings with Putin were promised. But Epstein refused. On May 13, 2013, he claimed in an email to former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak that Putin “had asked that I meet him the same time as his economic conference. I told him no. If he wants to meet he will need to set aside real time and privacy. Let’s see what happens.”
Nothing ever did.
Epstein’s scheme was simple. He targeted one connection to make another connection he believed the first already had to the Kremlin in order to then trade the appearance of the Kremlin connection for Epstein to others willing to pay Epstein introducing, consulting or finder’s fees if the appearance of Putin’s agreement could be fabricated into money.
Epstein also needed to prove that his criminal conviction and jail time counted for nothing in international politics, investment banking, high society. Like washing money, this was reputation laundering.
“You can explain to Putin,” Epstein told Thorbjorn Jagland, a former Norwegian prime minister and Council of Europe politician, “that there should be a sopshiticated [sic] Russian version of bitcoin, It would be the most advanced financial instrument available on a global basis”.
This was amusingly familiar to a Russian, especially one who knew enough English to appreciate the double meaning of Epstein’s misspelling; more importantly, it exposes the naïve superiority complex he was demonstrating to Russians whose experience in laundering, transferring, and crypto-hiding amounted to multiple billions to trillions of dollars more than Epstein had ever handled. As a money launderer, Russians understood Epstein was never clever enough himself and employed no organization to work for him. (more...)
Radical nationalists collaborated with Nazi Germany and left a bloody legacy that is still celebrated today
In early February 1929, 97 years ago, a group of Ukrainian political émigrés gathered in Vienna to formalize what they believed was a movement of national liberation. What emerged from that congress, however, was not merely a campaign for statehood, but a radical organization that rejected democratic norms and embraced political violence.
Members of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) took part in Nazi Germany’s aggression against Poland and the USSR, carried out mass killings on ethnic and political grounds, and conducted sabotage operations first for the Third Reich and later for Western powers. Those members of the OUN who survived and could not flee to the West faced criminal charges in the USSR; however, many were granted amnesty by Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev in an effort to promote internal reconciliation in Ukraine.
In this article, we examine how the OUN developed into a militant movement whose actions during and after World War II left a lasting and controversial historical legacy.
The history of Ukrainian nationalism is rather brief. The term ‘Ukrainians’ was not used as an ethnonym until the late 19th century. According to historians, the idea that Ukrainians are a separate nation from Russians was quickly seized upon by the Austro-Hungarian authorities, who recognized its ‘anti-Russia’ potential. In contrast, Galician Russophiles who advocated for unity between the Carpathian region’s population and Russians faced severe repression from the Austro-Hungarians. During World War I, Austrians actively promoted Ukrainian nationalism to recruit volunteers for their army. (more...)
Marshal of the Sejm Wlodzimierz Czarzasty has said the US president does not deserve a Nobel Peace Prize
The US Embassy in Poland announced that it would cut ties with Polish parliamentary speaker Wlodzimierz Czarzasty after he said US President Donald Trump does not deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.
On Monday, Czarzasty denounced Trump’s tariff policies and his plan to annex Greenland from Denmark. He also criticized the president for downplaying the contribution of America’s NATO allies during the war in Afghanistan. Czarzasty further described Trump’s proposed global Board of Peace as “illusory” and accused him of undermining the EU, UN, and NATO.
“I will not support President Trump’s nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize because he doesn’t deserve it,” the Polish official said.
In a post on X on Thursday, US Ambassador to Poland Tom Rose accused Czarzasty of damaging bilateral ties. “Effective immediately, we will have no further dealings, contacts, or communications with Marshal of the Sejm Czarzasty,” Rose wrote, citing the “outrageous and unprovoked insults.” (more...)

John and Charles examine the historical development of British Israelism and explain how the doctrine moved from fringe speculation into influential religious and political movements. They discuss its presence in holiness churches, Adventist circles, and early Pentecostalism, and why the belief system appealed to those seeking to merge theology with national identity.
The conversation traces British Israelism through key figures, major texts, and its later evolution into Christian Identity theology. They also explore how William Branham fit into this ideological stream, why some historians missed those connections, and how pseudo-history was used to legitimize power, race-based doctrines, and political aims.
Introduction
The spread of British Israelism across denominations
Key books and primary sources on British Israelism
In October 2023, Craig Mokhiber resigned as director of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights over the UN’s failure to act to stop the genocide in Gaza. Since then, he has been writing and speaking out about Israel’s crimes in Gaza as well as the other wars launched by the US-Israel Axis. This week, we’re focusing on Israel’s secret role in destabilizing Latin America, the Maduro government in Venezuela in particular, and in training ICE.
Useful Idiots: Can you talk about the Israeli regime’s nefarious role in Latin America?
Craig Mokhiber: It’s a long story, the history of the Israeli regime supporting far-right governments and death squads in Latin America and attacking or supporting attacks on progressive governments and movements in the region. And that’s why in her first address after the U.S. attacked Venezuela, the vice president, who’s now the interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, said that the attack on the country had “Zionist undertones.”
People of the region are well aware that the hand of the Israeli regime in destabilizing progressive governments has been going on forever. We’re talking about Israeli weapons, Israeli equipment, Israeli surveillance technology, Israeli intelligence cooperation, spying on opposition, and so on. But what’s really sometimes missed in these conversations is that the Israeli regime has been exporting not just weapons and technology and tactics, but it also exports a kind of violent and racist ideology. Ideas that are very right-wing, very Zionist, very militarist, very anti-human rights, obviously deeply anti-Muslim and anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian and anti-left, and this general idea that tries to frame law enforcement as equivalent to military.
That has been a big part of it. And that’s why, after the attack by the US on Venezuela, Israeli regime leaders were absolutely giddy celebrating the attacks on Venezuela and the abduction of the Venezuelan president.
Useful Idiots: What about Israel’s role in U.S. crackdowns against its own citizens?
Craig Mokhiber: This is what I refer to as the Zionist boomerang. This support for Zionism, fascism, apartheid, all of the crimes of the Israeli regime in Palestine, now it’s come back to our own cities. We’re talking about policing tactics that are entirely inconsistent with international human rights standards. You’ve got decades of the US underwriting apartheid, surveillance, repression, and genocide in Palestine. Those practices are now being brought home.
We’ve seen it in the brutal persecution of student protesters. You see it in the distortion of US legislation by Israel. The official adoption of the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism as an Israeli tool to try to silence dissent about Israeli abuses. You see it in the wholesale suspension of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution in the U.S. on behalf of the Israeli regime.
This is blowback from support for Zionism in Western Asia and you now see it in the corruption of U.S. law enforcement with this continuous structured flow of Israeli weapons and equipment and surveillance technology. A lot of these things come out of Israel’s so-called counterterrorism tactics. And whenever you hear that word counterterrorism, I think we’ve all learned, human rights runs for cover. It’s surveillance, it’s brutal crowd control techniques, racial profiling, intrusive intelligence gathering that’s now touching all of us.
That is a product of this Zionist boomerang. And that alone should terrify everybody who lives in the United States.
The 6th of September 2025 could’ve been a great day for England. On that first Saturday in September, two marches took place in London. To delve deeper into the mystery of this great might-have-been I engaged the help of the Google AI assistant. Apparently, it’s part of the Gemini AI family. Alright, Gemini, get to work: Link the Palestine rally on 6th September 2025 in London with the March for Life:
National March for Palestine and the UK March for Life took place in central London on the same day, Saturday, September 6, 2025. There is no link between the two events in terms of purpose or organisation; they are separate demonstrations with entirely different, and in fact opposing, causes and objectives.
Whoa! Sorry for asking, Gemini! OK then, if you say so. Having been provided with details of purpose, times and locations, I was told in no uncertain terms:
The only connection between the two main events was their coincident timing and general location in central London on September 6, 2025. They were ideologically opposed demonstrations that drew large crowds for unrelated reasons. (AI responses may include mistakes).
Though I attended neither march, I know that one ended on Whitehall, that magnificent neoclassical boulevard running south from Trafalgar Square, and which is home to all the great ministries of the British State, as well as the Horse Guards and the Cenotaph, and off which runs Downing Street itself. Whitehall, the button on the belly of the beast. Meanwhile the March for Life came to its climax in its usual location, at the south end of Whitehall, namely on Parliament Square. So, both in time and in space my much-dreamed-of merger was tantalisingly close. Why the ideological bar to intercourse? ‘Why,’ I ask, ‘do you say that they are ideologically opposed?’:
While they shared the same date and central London location, they are considered ideologically opposed because they represent fundamentally different political and social movements with distinct core values. (more...)
The Epstein files dump has led to days of intense media coverage, revealing how powerful elites around the world engaged in either illegal or morally reprehensible behaviour. But even as journalists sift through millions of documents, one of the most significant stories remains largely missing from the mainstream narrative.

The farce of the ‘ceasefire’ coverage in Gaza
More than 500 Palestinians have been killed since a US-brokered "ceasefire" was signed, which begs the question: Should journalists, in contextualising the story, really be calling this a “ceasefire”? As Israel signals it’s preparing to resume full-scale war, we examine how media silence, selective framing and restricted access help keep Gaza off the world’s screens.

An FBI report in the Epstein files cites claims that Jeffrey Epstein was trained as a spy and had ties to "Israel's" Mossad.
An undercover FBI informant "became convinced" that disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein was an Israeli spy, a document that is among millions of pages released last week by the Justice Department revealed.
The government record cites the informant, known as a confidential human source (CHS), as saying that Epstein's attorney, Alan Dershowitz, told then-US Attorney of the Southern District of Florida Alex Ocasta "that Epstein belonged to both US and allied intelligence services."
"CHS shared phone calls between Dershowitz and Epstein during which he/she took notes. After these calls, Mossad would then call Dershowitz to debrief. Epstein was close to the former Prime Minister of Israel, Ehud Barak (Barak) and trained as a spy under him," the document says.
Noting that Barak “believed Netanyahu was a criminal,” it said the informant “became convinced that Epstein was a co-opted Mossad Agent” amid regional rivalries involving "Israel".
The document has an annotation to "see previous reporting," but what that refers to is unclear. (more...)
Irish lawmakers condemn the use of Shannon Airport by ICE for deportation flights sending Palestinians from the US to "Israel" aboard a Trump donor’s private jet.
Several Irish politicians have condemned the use of Shannon Airport by private jets chartered for US deportation flights to "Israel", calling the practice “reprehensible” and demanding government intervention.
Two separate deportation flights organized by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) made fuel stops at the Irish airport on January 21 and February 1, according to a Guardian investigation. Both flights carried Palestinians who were reportedly deported from the US to "Israel".
The aircraft used was a private jet owned by Gil Dezer, a real estate developer and known donor to US President Donald Trump. Dezer's company has built several Trump-branded properties in Miami.
Some deportees said they were shackled by the wrists and ankles throughout the flight. Upon arrival in Tel Aviv, they were reportedly taken to the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
Dezer claimed he was unaware of the passengers’ identities or the purpose of the flights, stating that he is only notified of dates when his aircraft is in use. The jet was chartered by Journey Aviation, a Florida-based company frequently contracted by US authorities. (more...)
Trump's fascism is neither uniquely American nor merely imported, but a convergence of the US’s own racial-terror history and a long-standing admiration for Nazi ideology and aesthetics.
As Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) continue to wreak border violence upon US cities, an amateur Historikerstreit is playing out on social media over the origins of white supremacist authoritarianism under President Donald Trump.
Hobby historians and academics turned content-creators are at odds over whether America in 2026 is more comparable to Nazi Germany or to the many instances in the US’s own history of racial terrorism.
“ICE is the American Gestapo,” wrote bestselling author Stephen King tersely on X, a reference to Nazi Germany’s notorious secret police.
Savala Nolan, a racial and social justice scholar at UC Berkley Law, disagrees.
“ICE is not the gestapo; ICE is ours. It’s a manifestation of the same systems and beliefs that animated slave patrols, military conquest against the indigenous, vigilante night riders, and German Shepherds on Black ppl,” she posted on Instagram.
True, these homegrown, historical continuities are hard to miss when one looks at ICE’s and CBP’s campaign of terror against American communities of colour.
But calls to integrate the autochthonous origins of Trump’s anti-immigrant persecution in analyses of the current moment should not obscure the historical influence Nazism has had on American fascism, even if it is true that Nazism itself “was inspired by America’s institutionalized racism and indigenous holocausts,” as Haydar Ali, a Toronto-based rapper, poet and writer, reminds us.

The sheer indifference of the world to the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza largely stems from the fact that the world’s largest corporations support Israel, says an analyst.
Agnieszka Piwar, an independent journalist, documentary filmmaker, and author based in Poland, said in an interview with the Press TV website that global corporations finance both the media and a significant portion of political elites, shaping the narrative and limiting the scope of permissible criticism.
“As a result, we are witnessing systemic self-censorship: journalists and politicians remain silent or downplay Israel’s crimes, even though the tragedy in Gaza is documented in real time and visible to the entire world — and anyone who dares to speak the truth, myself included, faces pressure and ostracism,” she said.
Piwar is the author of “The Holocaust of the Palestinians” (Holokaust Palestyńczyków in Polish), a book that chronicles the plight of people living under brutal military occupation and traces the roots of the genocide currently unfolding in Gaza.
Published by Wydawnictwo 3DOM in 2025, the book amplifies Palestinian voices through vivid testimonies from those whose lives have been shaped by resistance to the Israeli occupation.
Writing the book, she said, has been a form of her “personal protest against the lies and manipulation in the media.” (more...)
John and Charles examine William Branham’s final overseas trip to Germany and Switzerland, placing it in the context of his late-1950s shift toward apocalyptic preaching and anti-communist rhetoric. They compare Branham’s repeated claims of traveling “seven times around the world” with documented itineraries that show only four overseas tours.
The discussion also explores why the fourth tour marked the end of his international campaigns, raises questions about the business logic behind overseas offices and distribution, and highlights discrepancies between Branham’s public statements and the historical record.

John and Charles examine William Branham’s European campaign by tracing the figures around him in Germany, including translator Ewald Frank and security connections that shaped the movement’s growth. Drawing on declassified records and historical research, they outline how these relationships formed and why they matter for understanding later developments.
The discussion separates speculation from documented evidence, connects European events to Colonia Dignidad and Cold War operations, and explains how power structures and accountability failures influenced the movement’s trajectory across continents.

John and Charles examine the evidence surrounding William Branham’s German tour and the troubling figures connected to his inner circle. Drawing on court records, historical documentation, and contemporary Pentecostal scholarship, they explore allegations linking Branham’s movement to Paul Schäfer, Ewald Frank, and the atrocities of Colonia Dignidad.
The discussion also reviews failed healing claims in Switzerland, the testimony of respected historians, and how Branham’s theology produced later sects with deeply harmful racial and authoritarian teachings. The episode traces how revival language masked darker power structures and why these historical links still matter today.
A new flood of Epstein emails has been released, provoking much talk, but little action, because the "story behind the story" remains hidden, by design, as it points to the Satanic, criminal nature of the western establishment, as its system is collapsing. The evil of this establishment is not limited to sexual perversions, but includes Malthusian plans to reduce population, while promoting permanent wars, destabilization of nations, assassination, destruction of food production, breakdown of health care, etc. Epstein was deployed by those committed to this overall plan, and was protected by them.
In the grotesque circus of international power plays, few performers rival Tony Blair for sheer audacity. The former British Prime Minister (1997-2007), once celebrated for his "Cool Britannia" sheen and Third Way politics, is now indelibly stained by the Iraq War debacle, a war built on deception that claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and shattered the region.
Yet in January 2026, Donald Trump appointed him to the Board of Peace, a White House-created entity chaired indefinitely by Trump himself to oversee Gaza's "reconstruction" under a controversial 20-point plan.
The board's founding executive includes heavyweights like Marco Rubio, Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, Marc Rowan, Ajay Banga, and Robert Gabriel—figures tied to Trumpworld and Zionist interests, with no Palestinian representation.
Blair's role is lending "statesmanlike" cover to what is seen as a colonial oversight mechanism that could facilitate displacement and control in Gaza. This isn't redemption; it's impunity on steroids.
Blair belongs in The Hague facing charges for aggression and complicity in atrocities—not jet-setting as a "peace" architect. This article lays bare his record, his Zionist alliances, his profit-driven institute, his billionaire backer, and why his latest gig risks making him complicit in Gaza's ongoing nightmare. (more...)
Nearly 50 people protested in Montreal on January 30, at complexe Desjardins. The demonstration happened during Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand's visit to the city, which organizers and protesters said highlighted trade and economic partnerships, while Canadian weapons components continue reaching Israel. Protesters denounced her complicity and shared concerns about the lack of compliance with international law amid ongoing violence in Palestine. The event, which was organized by the Palestinian Youth Movement Montreal chapter, called for an arms embargo and the passage of Bill C-233, which would close U.S. loopholes used for arms and weapons exports. Protesters are also planning a nationwide actions on February 17 to pressure members of parliament ahead of the parliamentary vote on February 25.
One session included 37 MPs and focused on police funding and “hate speech” policy.
The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) is a Zionist lobby group that has a stated priority of “strengthening the Canada-Israel Friendship.” It has historically aimed to do so in several ways, including lobbying MPs and taking them on fully paid trips to Israel.
I’ve published several articles on CIJA’s activities since 2022, including the 10 MPs most lobbied by CIJA at the time, a breakdown of MPs CIJA has taken to Israel and a list of MPs running in the 2025 election that CIJA had lobbied and/or taken to Israel.
This addition to the series looks at the MPs (and/or their staff ) who CIJA has lobbied since April 29, 2025, the day after the last election.
I found that CIJA lobbied at least 63 MPs (20 per cent) between April 29 and December 17 of 2025.
There are typically delays between when a lobby meeting occurs and when it’s actually registered. For example, the latest recorded meeting occurred on Dec. 17, 2025, but was only posted to the registry on Jan. 15, 2026. As such, it’s almost certain the 63 MPs figure is an undercount, both for the date range mentioned and until the date this article was published
I also found that CIJA lobbied MPs on 98 occasions across 48 meetings throughout this period, as they often lobby multiple MPs at once and certain MPs on multiple occasions.
Of the 63 MPs: 36 (57 per cent) are Conservatives, 23 (37 per cent) are Liberals and four (6 per cent) are Bloc Québécois.
About 25 per cent of all Conservative MPs have been lobbied by CIJA thus far, compared to 18 per cent of all Bloc MPs and 14 per cent of Liberal MPs.
I found that seven MPs were lobbied at least three times: (more...)
Palestinian-Canadian Amjad Ramadan is seeking nearly $400,000 in damages after he was abruptly terminated by NTN Canada, the manufacturing company he’d worked at for 15 years. He was fired soon after a video clip circulated online of him protesting outside an Indigo bookstore
A 52-year-old father of five in Brampton is suing his former employer for wrongful dismissal and violation of the Ontario Human Rights Code, alleging that the company discriminated against him on the basis of his expression of Palestinian identity and solidarity.
On Jan. 15, Amjad Ramadan, a Canadian citizen of Palestinian origin, launched a lawsuit against NTN Bearing Corporation of Canada, an Ontario-based manufacturer of ball bearings and other automotive parts.
In a detailed statement of claim viewed by The Grind, Ramadan says that he was treated in a “discriminatory and humiliating manner” by his employer in response to his efforts to raise awareness about the humanitarian situation in Gaza during Israel’s retaliation to the Oct. 7 attacks. This began in fall 2023 and culminated in early 2025 when NTN fired Ramadan following an online pressure campaign.
“This has been the worst year of my life,” Ramadan told The Grind in a video call.
“What they did to me has had a great impact on my mental health, on my physical health and on my reputation. It has done irreparable damage to my reputation, and has affected my family and my loved ones around me. It turned my life upside down.” (more...)
Former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon says the “ideology of ‘Jewish supremacy’” has become dominant in Israel, and it “is reminiscent of the Nazi race theory.”
In the late 1980s, Israeli philosopher Yeshayahu Leibowitz made the controversial warning that the 1967 occupation risked turning Israelis into “Judeo-Nazis.”
Leibowitz recently found a surprising supporter for this opinion – Former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon.
On Friday, Ya’alon tweeted that “Yeshayahu Leibowitz was right, and I was wrong”. This was no benign reference – it referred directly to the late professor Leibowitz’s “warnings… concerning the process of bestialization towards us becoming ‘Judeo-Nazis’…”. Ya’alon says that the “ideology of ‘Jewish supremacy’” has become “dominant in the government of Israel”, and that it “is reminiscent of the Nazi race theory”.
This was said in relation to Ya’alon’s participation in a ceremony to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27. In his tweet, he repeatedly mocks the commonly held reluctance to compare anything that Israeli Jews do today to what the Nazis did during World War II. (more...)

Ehud Barak, the former Israeli prime minister, is mentioned numerous times in the files, with him and his wife seemingly maintaining a close relationship with the financier long after he plead guilty of sex crimes in 2008.
In a September 2016 email sent amid the presidential race, Barak informs Epstein that Democratic nominee Hilary Clinton was set to be interviewed by Israel’s Channel-2 and wonders if Epstein could inquire whether eventual President Donald Trump would have interest in being interviewed by rival station, Channel-10.
Barak tells Epstein that the Trump interview would attract a “huge percentage of Israelis and most U.S. citizens in Israel.”
The Department of Justice also released audio of a February 2013 conversation between the two men, in which Epstein tells Barak to “check out” the controversial analytics company Palantir.
“I’ve never met Peter Thiel,” Epstein tells Barak, referencing the right-wing billionaire who founded the company. “And everybody says he sort of jumps around and acts really strange, like he’s on drugs,” Epstein tells Barak of the co-founder of Palantir, with the former Israeli prime minister agreeing.”
“However, he has a company called Palantir… so he thought that Peter would put you on the board of Palantir… he’s going to come here next week so I wanted to talk to him, if I talk to you,” he continues. (more...)
As Ehud Barak was leaving official govt service in Israel, he turned to Jeffrey Epstein for guidance. Epstein told him he needed to look at a Peter Thiel company called Palantir. Rare audio of Epstein and Barak from the latest DOJ release: pic.twitter.com/bSSeRrWkVb
