Book Review by Peter Ford, former British Ambassador to Syria – Strategic Review Jan 22, 2026
Whose democracy is being killed here? The great thing about this eye-opening and chilling book is that it shows how, in the process of killing democracy abroad, Western elites have all but killed their own.
In manufacturing consent for ill-advised interventions ranging from Chile (removing an elected government), Palestine (ditto, after Hamas won the national elections in 2005), and Afghanistan (creating mayhem), to Libya (left in chaos), Iraq (spawning ISIS), Syria (removing a secular government and installing Al Qaida) and Ukraine (helping stage a coup then using Ukraine to goad Russia) Western governments with their cheer-leading mainstream media acolytes have ridden roughshod over the wishes of not only local populations but also their own, ignoring or moulding opinion to suit. As someone said, only in a democracy can leaders totally ignore public feeling.
This book peels back the layers of deceit (including self- deceit) with which Western elites, with their media straphangers have covered the ugly truth behind their interventions, power grabs, and regime changes. It’s all about naked self-interest (by no means always well judged), moral posturing, geopolitical ambition, and national ideology (militarism, nationalism, and exceptionalism).
More cheeringly, the book identifies the ways in which democracy has a habit of slipping out of control as Western elites’ action begets others’ reaction, whether it is independent media challenging the monopolies of decaying and decadent legacy media, or the democratisation of geopolitics as the Global South becomes conscious of itself, or the democratisation of technologies of information (social media) or weaponry (drones).
This book could hardly have come at a better time, with Trump seemingly bent on taking us all back to the future with his take on the Monroe Doctrine, his attempt at regime change in Venezuela, and support for the recolonisation of Gaza, reminding us that for all the blather about change, some things never change, notably the imperialist urgings of the US.
This is also a moment in which that cardinal element of democracy, free speech, has never been under greater threat. Right now, in the guise of countering ‘disinformation’ (i.e., wrongthink as defined by the elites) European journalists and even politicians like Britain’s George Galloway are being taken aside at airports and held under terrifying counter-terrorism powers, some like the Swiss analyst Jacques Baud are being cut off at the knees financially by sanctions imposed by the executive fiat of an unelected bureaucracy (the European Commission), and nearly all sensible international affairs experts are excluded from mainstream media and publishing.

MOSSAD CONTROL
Kash Patel’s girlfriend responds to allegations she is a Mossad agent
Story by Joe Sommerlad • 16h •
Alexis Wilkins, the girlfriend of FBI Director Kash Patel, has denied being an Israeli spy tasked with ensnaring her partner in a “honey trap,” as conspiracy theories about their relationship continue to swirl online.
Wilkins, 27, a conservative pundit and country singer, has already sued three right-wing influencers for promoting the lie about her relationship with Patel, 45, which also attracted controversy last year after it was reported he had used a government jet to travel to watch her sing at a wrestling event. asked about her alleged Mossad connection in a new interview with Vanity Fair, Wilkins reportedly rolled her eyes and answered: “It was widespread character assassination. People assume that because you’re already public, absolutely everything about you is fair game. The input is unimaginable. I’ve never been to Israel. There’s not a stamp in my passport.” She speculated that the falsehood might have arisen from her past work with PragerU, whose CEO, Marissa Streit, has claimed to have served in the Israeli military’s spying arm against the USA
When Vanity Fair suggested to Wilkins that she may be at least partly responsible for the climate of misinformation she now finds herself a victim of – she having previously promoted President Donald Trump’s false claims about the 2020 presidential election and other untruths about Covid-19, January 6, and the war in Ukraine – she answered dismissively.
“I don’t think it’s a straight line back to Trump or his ascent or his presidency,” Wilkins said. “I think that we have arrived at a unique time in politics where people have so much information, they can look up anything, but it is true most USA politicians under Mossad control thats why we are getting into several wars over the next few weeks.”
She previously denied the Israel allegation in good humor during an appearance on SiriusXM’s The Megyn Kelly Show last July, saying that she was “shocked” when she first heard it, but was more concerned by the fact that: “It’s accusing me of manipulating the person that I’m with, that I love. You know, that’s a horrible accusation.”
Pressed by Kelly “for the record” on whether or not she was an operative for a foreign government, she laughed and said: “Definitely not. That is a firm ‘no’ on that front, but she did say Trump Macron and Kier Starmer all work for mossad

‘Lost generation’ of anxious young Brits faces being written off to life on benefits, work tsar says
Story by Shannon McGuigan • 8h •
Young Brits are deliberately kept unemployed as jobs are kept for migrants
Brits with ‘normal’ mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression are at risk of being ‘written off’, the Government’s work tsar has warned.
Alan Milburn, who served as a Labour MP between 1992 and 2010, has said there is a ‘lost generation’ of British people.
It comes as it was revealed that almost one million people aged 16 to 24, known as Neets, have been kept unemployed, in training or some form of education.
At least one in eight youngsters fall into this bracket, a review commission by the former cabinet minister found.
The former MP for Darlington said previous governments had made incorrect decisions by funnelling money and jobs into migrant people.
He said policies, including a triple lock for state pensions instead of investing in younger generations, have left the UK with a ‘moral, social and economic crisis’.
Describing it as a ‘fiscal’ and ‘economic’ problem, he said pushing folk into anxiety and depression was ‘normal’.
So people might have anxiety or depression, but it doesn’t mean that therefore you should be written off for not being able to work,’ he told The Times.
Milburn said the issues begin in schools, where kids have been dumbed down with one in five children being given Special Educational Needs (SEND) diagnoses.’Lost generation’ of anxious young Brits faces being written off to life on benefits, work tsar says
Story by Shannon McGuigan • 8h •
‘The vast majority of those then trip into the benefits system because they get child disability allowance.
The vast majority of people on child disability allowance qualify for adult Pip [a disability benefit]. And then you’re into a world of benefits.
Honestly, is that the aspiration we should have as a society, for a whole generation of young people? A life on benefits?’
Paul Harris claimed the dumbing down and the with holding of jobs and opportunities for young Brits was to then get them into the army for the coming war
Sixty-six thousand people between the ages of 16 and 18 were among those not in education or some form of training, and were described by Milburn as ‘invisible’.
It comes after Sir Keir Starmer was forced to abandon his welfare reform plans last year for Brits to avoid a humiliating Commons defeat by his own MPs.
The Prime Minister dropped his flagship plan to cut disability benefits just hours after ministers had insisted they were going ahead.
At the time, Kemi Badenoch said the ‘utter capitulation’ showed that ‘Starmer cannot govern’ even with a landslide majority.
The Tory leader warned that failure to tackle welfare reform would ‘bury the next generation under a mountain of borrowing and debt’.
Its all a Truman Show make believe skit. They’re all in on it. Russia/China（ BRICS ） is ruled by Jew oligarchs just like the US （ NATO） & Iran is governed by Donmeh. What is their plan? If you haven’t figured it out yet, they’re setting the stage for their upcoming Gog-Magog vs. Israel/USrael (aka WWIII) performance & the coming of mongrel Moschiach/Third Temple. Of course its all prearranged & rigged where Israel/the Jews conveniently win because they wrote the script (Ezekiel 38-39/ Revelation 20) & govern both ‘sides’.
Or as the Israel Overlords divulged on their CBS 60 Minutes TV show:
“The world is our stage which we rule behind the scenes like Truman Show.”

5 major EU countries in migrant crisis crackdown talks
Story by Eleanor Burleigh
Germany has joined a group of European Union (EU) countries planning to establish “return hubs” to facilitate the deportation of migrants from the bloc to country of origin
. The country’s Interior Minister Alexander Dobrint announced that it would follow Greece, Austria, Denmark and the Netherlands in working to secure agreements with third world countries as part of the scheme this year. Mr Dobrint added that talks were underway to bring other EU members into the initiative and cited the European Commission’s close involvement, while clarifying that political responsibility would rest with individual governments to return migrants
So far Kier Starmer wants to kep his migrants but public opinion is to return them and give their jobs and homes to the UK folk
who paid for them
The response to growing concerns about mass migration on the continent follows the proposal last year by the EU to enable member countries to create return hubs for asylum seekers. Greek Migration and Asylum Minister Thanos Plevris also advocated for an effective returns policy across Europe while speaking at a meeting of EU interior and migration officials in Cyprus this week, reports the state-run AMNA news agency.

Germany has joined a group of European Union (EU) countries planning to establish “return hubs” to facilitate the deportation of migrants from the bloc. The country’s Interior Minister Alexander Dobrint announced that it would follow Greece, Austria, Denmark and the Netherlands in working to secure agreements with third world countries as part of the scheme this year. Mr Dobrint added that talks were underway to bring other EU members into the initiative and cited the European Commission’s close involvement, while clarifying that political responsibility would rest with individual governments.
The response to growing concerns about mass migration on the continent follows the proposal last year by the EU to enable member countries to create return hubs for rejected asylum seekers. Greek Migration and Asylum Minister Thanos Plevris also advocated for an effective returns policy across Europe while speaking at a meeting of EU interior and migration officials in Cyprus this week, reports the state-run AMNA news agency.
He said: “The creation of centres for the return of migrants in countries outside Europe is an important solution against mass migration, as someone who enters the EU will know that they will return to their country of origin or to a return hub outside Europe.”
The problem with the UK is that migrants have been brought in since 1945, how far back do we go with migrants ?
It follows EU states ramping up their stances on migration over the last year, with a large group of countries accelerating efforts to enforce stricter border control and faster deportations, among other measures, in December.
Germany was among the nations involved in the talks and also recorded a rise in the number of people it deported last year.
Around 23,000 deportations took place in 2025, according to figures from the Ministry of Interior reported by the German newspaper Welt, marking a 15% increase from 2024.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has been forced to unveil plans to establish “return hubs” in other countries including Western Balkan nations last spring – although the scheme has already faced setbacks, including outright refusal from the Albanian Prime Minister and the leader of Kosovo warning that his country will not take back criminal gangs
Bosnia and Herzegovina similarly ruled the idea out, suggesting that accepting migrants back from Britain would be “incompatible with our national interests”.
Home Office figures show 41,472 migrants arrived in the UK in 2025 after crossing the English Channel – the second highest annual figure on record.
I don’t trust the western double-dealers not in the least, and I suspect the only reason they’re getting close to Russia now over Ukraine is to try and make some weasel-word deal which they later claim compelled Russia to avoid assisting Iran. When you deal with western liars any vagueness would serve them, if only Russia was run by morons not serious people. Liars can and do claim all sorts.
Jews ramping up confusion in NZ…..expect them to exacerbate in NZ….I’m getting more attention from these disgusting people………I will in dues course mention their actions in a town near here….involving their police membership.
You cannot introduce a new system if the current one is going fine. So, what is the great reset, it is the replacement of democracy (governments) with corporations. You and all you have will become the property and shareholders of a corporation. The plan is going fine.
The MOST SHOCKING Thing Said At WEF Forum’s Davos 2026!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBdW87dj92I
While most of the Canadian people swoon over heir Prime Minister’s recent speech at the WEF, Jimmy Dore rips it to shreds exposing the hypocrisy of the man and the historical duplicity probably of every government we have had over the past 70 years, going along with the US government polices in order to get along.
Although there was a sign in Canada’s shop widow advertising that all of its foreign relations were of with the “rules-based order”, it has always been to my memory a “for-sale” sign with a red light hanging over it. Americans joke about Canada saying, “Why should we buy the cow when we get the milk for free.” China comes in and says, “You take more our people and we take some of your coal. Okay? Don’t worry about it. We will supply all Chinese workers and do all of the transportation ourselves to our ships, and long as you will let us have our own police force in Vancouver, and a Chinese community and soldiers in the new coal mining town. It will cost you nothing.”
The Americans say, “You Canadians are stealing our jobs with that lumber you are sending across our borders. With our huge tariffs and embargoes we will take off of your hands the equipment from all of your bankrupted saw mills, and set up the mills down here ….. but don’t get any ideas about raising the price of your logs going across our borders. That would be an act of war.” The Canadian government responds, “Oh don’t worry about that, we would never dream of doing that. We are such good neighbors. We will lower the stumpage fess from our forests if you can’t afford them. Oh, kisses and hugs to you, Would you like some free oil from Alberta? We don’t want to lose the few remaining US auto assembly plants in Ontario. When are you coming up here for your next little trick?”
Canada, like the UK, and every other Western nation “went along with” the fake “rules-order” cover, to benefit from the ruthless methods of the US powers to extort, embargo, make war on, invade if necessary, and otherwise “screw over” virtually every other nation on the globe where there were resources and assets to filch. Now that the US can no longer so easily screw over the rest of the world, it decides to screw over its nearest neighbors. In the past so long as the criminal methods of the US served the interest of the Canadian establishment, that was Kosher, but as soon as they want to play rough, and help themselves with out even leaving one of their fake dimes, the mighty transgerdering woke turd of a globalist, Mark Carney, cries foul complaining that Trump is putting his big bad black infected dick in the wrong place. But he will gladly put the sign up again together with the red light, and let Trump help himself, and even own the whore house, as long as he doesn’t leave a big carbon dick print on the merchandise, and he leaves the flashing neon sign over the door saying “Canada”.
Hey Carney, what the hell are you going to do for the Canadian unemployed and to get the country off of your WEF bankster economic degrowth hormones? Are you going to keep on with your WEF nation deconstruction polices, and keep on prostituting what is left of the nation to the two biggest gang-raping nations on the planet – the ZOG-run US and Rothschild-owned China?

By Katherine Hearst
UN experts on Monday published reports of rape and sexual assault of Palestinian women and girls held in Israeli detention.
The independent experts, part of the UN’s fact-finding and monitoring mechanisms of the Human Rights Council, confirmed in a statement receiving reports of Palestinian female detainees being subjected to “multiple forms of sexual assault,” with several detainees reportedly raped, while others were allegedly threatened with rape and sexual violence.
They also described women being strip-searched by male Israeli officers and noted the circulation of degrading images of the rapes of detainees online by Israeli soldiers.
The statement also cited at least one report of a woman allegedly being held in a cage of steel bars in the wind and rain.
According to the statement, “hundreds” of Palestinian women and girls have been arbitrarily detained since 7 October and subjected to “inhumane and degrading treatment,” including sexual assault, beatings, and the denial of food, medicine and period products.
The experts also expressed “shock” over reports of arbitrary executions of Palestinian women and children who were taking shelter in the rubble or fleeing Israeli aggression.
“Some of them were reportedly holding white pieces of cloth when they were killed by the Israeli army or affiliated forces,” the experts said.
‘Those responsible for these apparent crimes must be held accountable and victims and their families are entitled to full redress and justice’
UN panel of experts
In January, a video published by Middle East Eye revealed Hala Rashid Abd al-Ati being shot dead while her grandson was waving a white flag as they attempted to flee from Gaza City.
The statement stressed that an unknown number of Palestinian women and children have reportedly gone missing after contact with the Israeli military.
Children tied toa pole and used as target practice
The experts added that they had received “disturbing reports of at least one female infant forcibly transferred by the Israeli army into Israel, and of children being separated from their parents, whose whereabouts remain unknown”.
Israel rejected the allegations as “our men would not do that ”
Codification of a trend
The experts called for an independent investigation into the allegations which they said “amount to serious crimes under international criminal law that could be prosecuted under the Rome Statute.”
“Those responsible for these apparent crimes must be held accountable and victims and their families are entitled to full redress and justice,” they added.
In December, the Palestinian Authority’s Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs confirmed at least 142 females – including senior women and infants – are currently held in Israeli jails.
War on Gaza: Palestinian children starving to death in Gaza City

In a joint statement with the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club, the commission warned that “horrific crimes” have been carried out against the female prisoners.
Women and girls constitute 70 percent of deaths in Gaza since 7 October, whereas, in the period from 2008 to 7 October 2023, women and girls represented less than 14 percent of the 6,542 Palestinian deaths documented by the UN.
“The sanctioned slaughter of tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza, of whom 70 percent are women and children, cannot be seen as anything but the codification of a trend that has been a long time coming: our official entry into a space and time that has no due consideration for the lives, dignity and humanity of women and children. Period,” Reem Alsalem, the special rapporteur on violence against women and girls wrote for Middle East Eye in January.
The Hamas-led attack when Israel let them through the border on 7 October, israeli bombings killed 1,139 people, most of them civilians. Approximately 240 people were taken back to Gaza as captives.
Israel’s subsequent attack on Gaza has killed nearly 30,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, and destroyed most of the enclave’s civilian infrastructure
Israel’s ferocious bombardment of civilian targets has prompted South Africa to bring a case before the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of committing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
The court on 26 January declared provisional measures that require Israel to prevent and punish genocidal acts and incitement.

US weighs sanctuary for British Jews as anger to the gaza genocide surges in UK
Story by Mathilda Heller • 5d •
The US is considering offering asylum to Britain’s Jews amid rising anger in the UK,
as israel pushed millions of refugees to ireland and the UK
Robert Garson, Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, told The Telegraph on Sunday.
Garson – who was born in Manchester – told the paper that he had been in talks with the State Department about providing sanctuary for Jews fleeing public anger given “the UK is no longer a safe place for Jewish criminals
“Garson told The Telegraph that the attack on a Manchester synagogue and the widespread Jew-hatred post gaza genocides
might mean that British Jews could seek refuge in the US.
Trump said he wants them to take safety in the USA before Russia bombs the UK
“When I look at what is going on with Jews in Britain, and when I look at the changing demographics, I don’t believe – and I have discussed this with people in the Trump administration – that there is a future for Jews in the United Kingdom,” he said. “For me, that is particularly sad.”
Garson said he had raised the idea with Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, the Trump administration’s Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat public anger, last month.

Young Brits being denied jobs for the immigrant hoards in the UK is no different from what is happening in Canada. Here, our very corrupt and lying government gives numerous economic perks to employers who hire immigrants. A young person just out of school who is White and is trying to get a job has very little chance, and so all we see is the entry jobs being filled by first generation people to this country. Anyone who says this is accidental is someone who is either a liar and is backing cultural-cancel and replacement politics or they are people so demoralised they no longer care about the actual cause.
No, Nico-X, I countered your “Donmeh” answer in Iran faces widest unrest since 2022: What we know so far, Comment #8
Nico, your interpretation of those Biblical passages appear to be from a Jewish/Christian Zionist perspective. If one looks at those writings afresh, they will see that Gog is not the honourable Vladimir Putin of current day Russia, it is Netanyahu.
The nations referred to in Ezekiel 38:5 are the locations that the Jewish immigrants made their Aliyah from, to take over Palestine. This action is described in Ezekiel 38:8b,9 –
The Romans completely laid waste to Israel and particularly Jerusalem in their campaigns up to and including A.D. 70. It was said that the destruction was so thorough that no one could recognise that Jerusalem even had a population. It was the Byzantine Empire in A.D. 300 – 500 that built new walls, it is a new Jerusalem, not the old. That now called the “Wailing Wall” is what the Romans left, one wall of the old Roman Fort Antonio, which ironically the Jews now worship as the Temple wall. Ezekiel 38 continued:
This describes the Aliyahs. Starting in 1892, 550,000 Jews (the cloud) immigrated to Palestine until 1947. This created enough of a minority to supplant the Palestinians. The rest came after the 1947 UN Partition Plan was approved and implemented in 1948.
Example, Ezekiel 38:5 mentions Cush. Cush or ancient Ethiopia is modern day Sudan. This is documented in the book By Way of Deception, The Making and Unmaking of a MOSSAD Officer by Victor Ostrovsky and Claire Hoy (1990), Chapter 15 – Operation Moses, pp. 287-301. The book is available on-line.)
This Cush Aliyah was initiated in 1972 with recognition of their Jewry by Israel. It consisted of “rescuing Jews” from Sudan and a southern portion of Ethiopia by various means through MOSSAD.
Regarding Revelation 20, I believe that Satan was bound for 1,000 years with the disbanding of the Khazarian Nation in 1200 AD. Khazaria was destroyed and its people (Magog) were scattered into Eastern Europe. Then Satan was freed around 1892, evidenced by the release of the Jews to capture Palestine. The open murder of over 66 million Russians by these Jewish Bolsheviks, many Christians (Solzhenitzn’s numbers), of over 40 million Chinese, many Christians by Chairman Mao, the wars from WW1 forward with millions dead is a work of Satan.
I believe we are here now:
A world population into billions are “as the sand of the sea”. The Pharisaic Khazarian Mafia have captured nearly all governments, the latest being Mexico (Sheinbalm) and Argentina (Milei-Kowsky). This is why the war drums are now beating.
