For my friends who still watch BigNews and still believe it (amazingly) here’s one key story that they are hoping you won’t see, because they won’t ever tell you about it. Yes, England the “birthplace of civil liberties” is arrresting people en masse for speech – on terrorism charges. More detail in this piece – 3034 such arrests in 2025 alone! (mostly grandmas)

-------------------

“...Notably, the Palestine Action ban has already severely impacted people’s lives. According to Defend Our Juries, over a dozen people who were arrested during peaceful sign-holding actions lost their jobs as a result, while many others faced different types of disciplinary action. “Over 2,700 people who were arrested for taking part in Lift the Ban actions are not only in legal limbo,” Defend Our Juries said, “but face prolonged uncertainty and consequences for their day-to-day lives.”

The number of people arrested during these actions has also skewed terrorism data, according to Morning Star. The newspaper warned that 3,034 terror arrests were made in 2025—92% of them related to the ban—compared to 250 in 2024. Additionally, last year’s data also suggests a significant shift in the demographics of the arrests, where those arrested were more likely to be women, and their average age approximately 28 years older than in terror arrests made unrelated to Palestine Action.”

For those of my chums who have a hard time understanding why I criticize indignation at such length, but then also take shots at the completely counter-productive (and incidentally radically counterrevolutionary) mass movement fake left – it is because they are now the most eager racist supremacist subscribers to racist mass murder theorizing (and have been since Bill Clinton).

Here is an absolutely outstanding (un-paywalled) piece from Simplicius the thinker which makes key absolute bedrock-crucial points that western supremacists still miss every time, and yet somehow not only claim morality – but exclusive morality (supremacist by definition, LOL)

I’m a positive guy, and so really want to say “we can do better, folks” but honestly, probably not.

Hence the (well earned) inbound spanking coming our way. All because we insist on throwing a tantrum at the bottom of a busy escalator – the world isn’t mean, just moving-on while we pout.

Here's the best big-picture analysis of what's really going on that you'll find - from Michael Hudson who was "In the room" the last time this trick was pulled, (Nixon/Vietnam/Bretton Woods) and understands the resulting game like no one else brave enough to address the public. Super lucid and useful (as he pretty much always is - kudos!)

Alestair Crooke may be Judge Napolitano's best guest, on matters WRT Iran. Here he is offering some up to date insight, as well as some subtle understanding we in the west just don't do anymore (combo of listening and respect, we haven't been doing for generations).

Also - a truly glorious Lavrov smackdown of Modi - BRICS may well be strengthened by all of this (or at very least, greatly clarified).
