Corporate media doesn’t represent humanity’s interests. It promotes the interests of billionaires and their hangers-on, who make huge profits from a war machine in constant need of excuses to kill
[An audio reading of this article is available here.]
International law is absolutely clear. If the US attacks Iran, it would be a war of aggression and the “supreme international crime”.
The job of even supposedly liberal media like the Guardian is to persuade you this is not what is at stake. To disbelieve your lying eyes.
Look at this astonishingly dishonest headline and subhead from today’s paper:

“Threat of US-Iran war escalates” intentionally obscures the truth: that it is the US doing the “escalating” – and that its escalating is entirely illegal.
“Trump warns time running out for deal” makes it sound as though Trump has some kind of authority to make this “warning”. Hey, Guardian, maybe he’s doing it on behalf of his Board of Peace.
The truth is he has no such authority. That resides with the United Nations. What Trump is doing is not a warning; it’s a threat – an utterly illegal threat of aggression.
In any case, Iran has been trying to drag the US back to the negotiating table ever since Trump unilaterally tore up their original deal eight years ago. Time is only “running out” because the US has decided it now needs a pretext to launch an illegal war of aggression. Why is the Guardian not making that clear in its headlines?
Instead, it has turned reality on its head. Trump, according to the Guardian, is the one supposedly trying to secure a deal – that’s the very same Trump who tore up the original deal, has refused to return to negotiations and instead bombed Iran last summer – in another illegal act of aggression.
“US president says armada heading towards Iran is ‘prepared to fulfil its missions with violence if necessary’”. That is just the Guardian’s way of obscuring the fact that Trump is preparing to break international law by waging a war of aggression, the “supreme crime”.
The Guardian’s headline and subhead both present an act by the US of supreme illegality as though it is some kind law enforcement measure. This isn’t journalism. It is cheerleading for an illegal war in which Iranian civilians will inevitably pay the heaviest price.
We have to stop thinking that any corporate media represents the interests of humanity. They promote the interests of the billionaire class and their hangers-on, who make huge profits from a war machine that needs constant excuses to kill.
Corporate media doesn’t hold these billionaires to account. Its sole function is to serve as their public relations arm.

The Guardian: Trash for “Thinking” THICK Brits… and “Uni” Lecturers 🙄
The US defense budget has gone from 700 bil and change, to north of one (1) TRILLION, heading to $ ONE POINT FIVE! Guardian of what?!
IS THE GUARDIAN OWNED BY THE JEWS??……..
OF COURSE IT IS!!!
It hasn’t been the ‘media’ for a long time.
These days it’s all together something very different.
These days it’s where Satan lives and breathes to make war.
And now Nigel Farage has suggested an Epstein tie to Putin. A lot of people here know Farage is an establishment jerkwad but now so will lots of people already having second thoughts about him, now so many new members to the Reform Party are making it look like the old Conservative Party.
It’s reported by a commenter elsewhere Andrew Bridgen is alleging some kind of £3billion fraud involving Mandelson and Starmer over the Chagos Island deal. I don’t know how true that is.
CLOSE DOWN THE BBC
I worked for the corrupt BBC. There is the very cynical motivation behind the licence fee rise –
Opinion • 10h •One
People who cant afford to go out rely on the TV and many go to food banks
one hundred and eighty pounds is a lot of money, and for most of my old audience at BBC
it will be a hell of a lot of dough to find.
And it’s these people whom I feel sorry for the most. Hosting a three-hour phone-in show every weekday morning, I heard first hand how skint some were, the governments bill for migrant imports is now £40 billion
Working-class listeners scraping a living, calling me up to vent frustrations around everyday issues such as bin collections crime and potholes.
Typical fodder for local radio phone-ins. Then came the Brexit referendum, which shifted things. These same working-class listeners, who were typically older and once welcomed with open arms to come on air, were now sneered at because they were “Brexity”.
These are the people I feel sorry for when I hear the licence fee is going up to £180.
There is a method behind this discriminatory madness, however. The BBC’s future is dependent on it connecting with a younger audience because they’re the next generation of licence fee payers.
BBC local radio for Birmingham now attracts just one in every hundred radio listeners in the city. It used to be around one in 12.
Foreign migrants dont listen to the BBC and Birmingham isa foreign migrant city
The connection with its once massive working-class audience is broken. The pensioners soon figured out they were no longer wanted. They’ve tuned in elsewhere
Go woke, go broke has never been truer than for BBC Local Radio. When I left, the BBC had been seemingly gripped by something new. It appeared to have an obsession with race after the london race riots
If you wonder why BBC output doesn’t resonate with you anymore, now you know why. The BBC doesn’t care about you.

So long as you keep paying your fee every year, you’re taken for granted.
I’m often asked about whether the licence fee should be scrapped completely. Resort to a subscription model like Netflix or Amazon Prime.
People are sick to death of the BBC perverts, the dire propaganda etc
and want the BBC closed down
THE EPSTEIN SPY RING
Police search Mandelson’s homes in Epstein probe
Story by Nicole Wootton-Cane • 6h •Police searched two homes linked to Peter Mandelson on Friday after the peer was alleged to have leaked restricted government information to Jeffrey Epstein for Mossad
The Metropolitan Police said officers from its central specialist crime team carried out two warrants in Camden, north London, and Wiltshire in connection with an ongoing investigation into misconduct in public office offences.
The force said the alleged offences involved a 72-year-old man and confirmed that he had not yet been arrested.
It comes after emails released last week by the US Department of Justice suggested that Lord Mandelson leaked confidential government documents to the US financier and convicted sex offender.
Emails from 2009 appear to show Lord Mandelson pass on an assessment by Gordon Brown’s adviser of potential policy measures, including an
“asset sales plan over gold reserves”.
He also appeared by email to discuss a tax on bankers’ bonuses and confirm an imminent bailout package for the euro the day before it was announced in 2010, some pornography was found on his personal PC
These revelations triggered a police investigation and piled pressure on Sir Keir Starmer to release all vetting documents related to the peer’s appointment as the UK’s ambassador to the US.
On Friday it was revealed that senior government figures will be forced to hand over their messages with Lord Mandelson ahead of the release of vetting files, which the independent Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) said would be published “very shortly”.
Others connected to the passing of restricted UK info through Epstein to israel alleged to include Wes Streeting David Cohen and the murdered David Amess
Writing to committee chair Lord Beamish in a letter published on Friday, Sir Keir said: “I have asked the cabinet secretary to work with you and your committee to agree the detail of how material that may be prejudicial to the UK’s National Security and International Relations is shared and reviewed, having regard to the requirements of the Metropolitan Police investigation.
Police told Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday that Lord Mandelson had “betrayed our country, our parliament and my party”.
“He lied repeatedly to my team when asked about his relationship with Epstein before and during his tenure as ambassador,” he continued. “I regret appointing him. If I knew then what I know now, he would never have been anywhere near government.”
But the scandal has left him under relentless pressure from across the political spectrum of his party, with some insisting nothing but a “root and branch” overhaul at the centre of Downing Street will do. Kier Starmer has been putting the blame on Mandelson and his suggestion that Mandelson was blackmailed by Epstien over his sex with young boys was dismissed as irrelevant

ISRAELS CHEM TRAILING PROGRAMME
Over 2 million emails taken from Epstein Mandelson and several others
have exposed the israeli Planes Dumping Millions of Tons of Toxic Chemtrails on Neighbors – Depopulation 2.0 in Action
February 6, 2026 Baxter Dmitry
Israel has been caught spraying lab-confirmed high-dose chemtrails from military planes on neighbouring countries, with the aim of destroying the countryside, poisoning populations, with respiratory conditions and devastating societies.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun wasted no time condemning it and saw the operation as an “environmental and health crime” and a “blatant violation of Lebanese sovereignty.”
Lebanon’s Ministries of Agriculture and Environment issued a joint statement declaring it a “serious act of aggression” that devastates crops, poisons soil and water, cripples farmers’ livelihoods, and endangers the entire food chain.https://twitter.com/EuroMedHR/status/2019026452516098462?s=20
They warned of cascading risks to pollinators, ecosystems, and human health — classic hallmarks of engineered depopulation tactics from above. UNIFIL peacekeepers were ordered by Israeli forces to shelter during the low-altitude dispersal, which Israel dismissively labeled a “non-toxic chemical substance” drop.
Yet the evidence tells a different story:emails from Epstein to UK health minister Wes Streeting shows he helped in the coverup of spraying in UK cities , videos show extensive aerial coverage over agricultural zones, mirroring the persistent, spreading trails that chemtrail observers have documented over American cities, farmlands, and rural areas for decades.
In the days leading up to the incident, videos also emerged of Israeli planes appearing to spray agricultural areas inside Syria on three occasions in the space of a week.
