There is a long history of Ukraine and its foreign backers using their control over gas and oil transit as a weapon, either for economic blackmail or for political advantage. In the years before the 2014 Maidan coup, a long-running dispute with Russia over non-payment for Ukrainian gas was followed by a throttling of the… Continue reading Kiev’s pipeline hostage diplomacy

Putin’s Promise, 24th February 2022
I post here a series of recordings from Russia’s NTV Segodnya (today) programme, broadcast on February 24th 2022, where Vladimir Putin declares his resolve to launch a ‘special military operation’ to protect the residents of Eastern Ukraine – Donbas – from NATO and AFR aggression and invasion. The decision to launch this operation – effectively… Continue reading Putin’s Promise, 24th February 2022
Iranian Treachery
It won’t be the first time we went to war based on a lie, but it may well be the last if Iran is forced to defend itself from a Western coalition attack. Such are the lies being told about Iran – stories that have been concocted and spun by Iran’s enemies since the 1979… Continue reading Iranian Treachery
From Bondi to Tehran; the Axis of Hate.
As I wrote last month, the timing and circumstances of a terrorist attack may be a good guide as to its ‘authenticity’ as well as to the likely culprit. In the four ‘great deceptions’ cited, it was the specific date of those events which confirmed my initial suspicions about the Bondi attack, and significant further… Continue reading From Bondi to Tehran; the Axis of Hate.
Iran’s Fifth Column
Eight years ago, and following a third visit to Iran, I had several articles published by American Herald Tribune reflecting on our experiences there, and perceptions of Iranian attitudes to the West. Firstly in mid January 2018, I wrote about the latest protest rallies in Iran, which were estimated to have brought about 15,000 Iranians… Continue reading Iran’s Fifth Column
Pretending Peace while Declaring War – on Russia
Following Ukraine’s massive drone attack on President Putin’s residence in Novgorod, (shown in the projected flight paths in the map above, from the Ukrainian ‘Russian’ site Meduza) Turkish TRT news interviewed Atlantic Council’s Elisabeth Braw in London. What she said in the interview below (trimmed a little for length) might be considered unhinged and simply… Continue reading Pretending Peace while Declaring War – on Russia
Point x – the War Crimes Amnesty.
In the now notorious ‘Trump 28-point peace plan’ for settling the Ukraine conflict, there was included an amnesty for all war crimes committed since 2022. While the plan was initially said to have been drawn up by the US and Russia, this controversial clause – which rapidly disappeared without trace – should have demonstrated that… Continue reading Point x – the War Crimes Amnesty.
Arabian Betrayal; Imperial Deceit.
Suddenly the truth falls into place – there never would be a ‘phase 2’ of the Gaza ceasefire and peace plan. “Israel” has been in complete control of the war it started on October 7th 2023, but has worked in coordination with Western powers who arm it and provide supportive propaganda through their media networks.… Continue reading Arabian Betrayal; Imperial Deceit.
Australia’s war on Iran
On Tuesday the 26th of August, news broke of israel’s latest and most egregious war crime, targeting journalists, rescue workers and hospital staff outside Nasser hospital in Khan Younis. As the double-tap strike was recorded on live TV, there was no room for doubt about its intention, and global condemnation followed quickly behind details of… Continue reading Australia’s war on Iran
Defending Russia, 80 years on.
Below is an article I hoped would be published by dissident journal Pearls and Irritations when I submitted it on May 30th, after news had just emerged of the attempted assassination of President Putin as he flew to Kursk province on May 20th. The immediate trigger for my article – which aimed to put the… Continue reading Defending Russia, 80 years on.
