The Ukrainian leader resorts to lies and threats at the tail end of a failing counteroffensive Next Tuesday will be the anniversary of the Biden administration’s destruction of three of the four pipelines of Nord Stream 1 and 2. There is more I have to say about it, but it will have to wait. Why? Because the war between Russia and Ukraine, […]
Vanessa Beeley on UK Column News – featuring Kevork Almassian – discusses UK government’s proscription of the Wagner Group and the precarious situation re Armenia and Azerbaijan.
‘In my opinion there is a connection between the timing of the Prigozhin drama and what is happening in Syria. The whole “mutiny” kicked off immediately after the Syrian Arab Army (Republican guard divisions) had mobilised to the north of Syria threatening terrorist positions in the north-west (Idlib), north (US and Turkey) and even stretching to the north-east (Kurds and […]
The late writer, broadcaster and wit Clive James formulated what he called the ‘Barry Manilow Law’: ‘Everyone you know thinks Barry Manilow is absolutely terrible. But everyone you don’t know thinks he’s great.’ (James, cited Martin Amis, ‘Inside Story,’ Vintage, 2020, e-book, p.74) A Media Lens version of this might read: ‘Everyone you know thinks BBC News is absolutely terrible.

President Richard Nixon: ‘Just because someone wants to become a martyr does not mean that we can allow this kind of large-scale theft or else it will happen in all spheres of government.

The first attack was seemingly thwarted but then a second wave resulted in a large explosion to the south-west of Damascus where any number of air-defence bases are located. The Syrian Arab News Agency published the Ministry of Defence statement: The […]
The White Helmets are not “born-again angels”, they are still Al Qaeda auxiliaries The West is exploiting the earthquake to restart the military war against Syria. I will be writing in more detail this week. I just returned from the coastal town of Lattakia which was terribly broken by the earthquake on the 6th February and subsequent aftershocks and secondary […]

What’s left for all of us is to swim in a swamp crammed with derelict patsies, dodgy cover stories and intel debris.
I’ve just been reading, during the commemorations for the Battle of the Somme, Wilfred Owen’s poem ‘Anthem For Doomed Youth’ about ‘these who die as cattle’.
