Mysterious men in black wearing hoods organised the Iranian disturbances - obviously it was an attempt by foreigners to overthrow the government
The EU has been transformed by Gaza
Another more subtle threat is from Israel. After supporting Israel's actions in Gaza Europeans can no longer believe in its own human rights ideology, an ideology that had taken the place of the sacred in their public imagination and replaced Christianity as a unifying creed.

Netanyahu the seer
People whose judgment I respect including Larry Johnson think America will attack. I still place my hope in TACO.

Sir Keir Starmer is Morgan McSweeney 's Golem
In November, Health Secretary Wes Streeting – a stalwart in the pressure group Labour Friends of Israel – said that “there wouldn’t be a Labour government without him.” Journalist George Eaton wrote that the current Labour cabinet “more than ever, is made in McSweeney’s image.”
Westerners now live in an Epsteinian world and guess at the hidden hands of intelligence services.
Eastern Europeans always knew the world was like that.
Hypocrisy is the sea in which propagandists swim
Journalists like Ruth Dudley Edwards and others describe Iran as evil but the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is much worse. Saudi Arabia massacres its Shia subjects, murdered Khashoggi and many others, does not permit practice of any religion but Mahometanism, has no elections. Admittedly both Iran and KSA have recently become much less hardline but why does the British press fawn on the Saudis while beating the drums for war with Iran?
It's a genuine question.
Iran is no threat to the USA, Great Britain or Europe, while the Saudis found Wahhabii mosques and were to blame for the September 11th murders.
I suppose the answer is that NATO member states take orders from Washington.
Intelligence services control the mainstream and most social media - I find it best to dig on X to find out what is happening though it has biases and is not perfect
Alastair Crooke thinks Epstein was an important geopolitical player and an intelligence service in himself
'He was organizing geopolitics at a high level. I, in my view, I mean he was really not just a tool of Mossad. I think that's not correct. I think he was a sort of an intelligence service in himself. He was a peer. He was acting. He was making a lot of money. Yes. And he was operating between various people. But I think it's a mistake to sort of see him just simply as nobody. He had enormous intelligence resources of his own. He could talk to all sorts of people. I mean, we see in Britain, we've just seen how Mandelson was feeding him hugely market sensitive information which he could pass on to his friends, whether they were friends in the American financial system or other financial systems is immaterial. He had his own sources. Mandelson was just one of them. We know that there are probably many more.'
What they said
“I had propagandists all over the world. We pumped dozens of stories about Cuban atrocities, Cuban rapists [to the media]… We ran [faked] photographs that made almost every newspaper in the country … We didn’t know of one single atrocity committed by the Cubans. It was pure, raw, false propaganda to create an illusion of communists eating babies for breakfast.” John Stockwell ex-CIA man and author of In Search of Enemies, in which he described the dissemination of propaganda as a “major function” of the agency.

The coronation of Queen Elizabeth II
‘What impressed most who saw [the Coronation] was the fact that the Queen herself appeared to be quite overwhelmed by the sacramental side of it. Hence, in the spectators, a feeling of (one hardly knows how to describe it) — awe — pity — pathos — mystery. The pressing of that huge, heavy crown on that small, young head becomes a sort of symbol of the situation of humanity itself: humanity called by God to be his vice-regent and high priest on earth, yet feeling so inadequate. As if he said, “In my inexorable love I shall lay upon the dust that you are glories and dangers and responsibilities beyond your understanding.”’ C.S. Lewis
This is exactly what I saw watching the film. I also saw how the British aristocratic establishment of the 19th century was assembled as part of a profoundly Christian hierarchy.
All this had changed essentially by the time our present King whom God preserve was crowned. England had become American, European, egalitarian and the television was king, not the King.
Why was it important whether Labour MPs were hostile to Israel? To whom exactly was it important?

"One thing we know: Epstein was no Mossad agent." Not so fast, Mr.Simons
He said for years that he knew Epstein from when they were in Mossad.
The Telegraph always sounds like MI6 and Israeli propaganda.
Edward Snowden, in a 2015 video interview with The Guardian from Moscow
"When you say 'I don't care about the right to privacy because I have nothing to hide,' that's no different than saying 'I don't care about freedom of speech because I have nothing to say.'"
The elite revealed in the Epstein files wants war with Iran

Have you considered that the people in Epstein's milieu, who now want a war, are not going to make Iran a happier place?Sunday, 8 February 2026
