    By Craig Murray  –  Mar 31, 2026

    As I was leaving the University of the Communes in Tocuyito, after a joyful and uplifting visit, an earnest young professor came up to me and pulled me aside. Very quietly, he asked me what was going to happen. A number of the students were terrified there would be regime change and they, picked as young socialist leaders in the commune movement, would be imprisoned, tortured and executed.

    The debate around last week’s Palantir Debate in Westminster Hall

    Monday, 20 April 2026 — medConfidential

    No magic, just software and monopoly.

    In the Westminster Hall debate on Palantir, the Minister insisted they’ll keep using Palantir, as Palantir becomes the new Fujitsu, with all the consequences that come over that Horizon.

    25 April Rallies: Trafalgar Square & Cities UK-Wide – Be There!

    Monday, 20 April 2026 — #Together

    Could you take two minutes right now to help make this count?

    Our SCRAP Digital ID rallies are just days away – this Saturday, 25 April – and momentum is building fast as volunteers spread the word across the country.

    With the government on uncertain footing and local elections on 7 May, we have a key opportunity to send a message: whoever takes power next must drop Digital ID plans for good.

    Iran STRIKES BACK at US Navy, Blocks Hormuz – Trump HUMILIATED | Patrick Henningsen

    Saturday, 18 April 2026 — Chronicles of Haiphong

    Patrick Henningsen discusses Trump’s audacious announcement that Iran has reopened the Strait of Hormuz fully, and breaks down Tehran’s retaliation against ceasefire violations both in Lebanon and in the US blockade via game changing moves that tell the world just who is in control. The US and Iran are at the precipice of war, and Patrick helps Danny Haiphong give you the analysis and news the Western mainstream media won’t

    The Reform UK party’s threat to deny visas to countries demanding reparations for the monstrous crime of slavery exposes Britain’s lingering imperialist mentality.

    No comments on US Using Israel to Distract Away from World War 3: Blockade on Iran is an Act of War on China

    US Using Israel to Distract Away from World War 3: Blockade on Iran is an Act of War on China

    Friday, 17 April 2026 — The New Atlas

    • As predicted a month ago, the US Marine Expeditionary Unit deployed to the Middle East is now imposing a blockade on Iranian oil to China;
    • Those fixated on “Israel” are distracting away from what is ultimately an act of war on China amid what is quickly shaping into World War 3;
    • The notion that it is “inconceivable” the US would launch one war to set the stage for war with another nation ignores both US history and the history of empire in general;

    Consequences of Apps for ID and in Health

    Friday, 17 April 2026 — No2ID

    This week, Phil joined Dr Marcus Baw on his ‘Everything Digital Health’ podcast to discuss ID cards, Healthcare and Privacy (amongst other things…)

    It covered a lot of ground, including consensual, safe and transparent use of patients’ data and what that means in practice – and also considered whether the good parts of NHS culture (as yesterday’s Westminster Hall debate laid out in detail, there are other not-so-good parts) might offer a model for more open, accountable digital government.

    Friday, 17 April 2026 — Jonathan Cook

    From Jimmy Savile to Peter Mandelson, Starmer has followed a trajectory of career-enhancing ignorance. He knows far more than he lets on. It’s the reason, after all, why he was knighted

    “Peace at any cost – Israeli style”: Why Netanyahu is pushing Trump toward war with Iran

    Friday, 17 April 2026 — New Eastern Outlook

    Muhammad Hamid ad-Din

    It was Israel that called the shots at the failed talks in Pakistan.

    The United States and Israel are losing the war in the Middle East

    While diplomats in Islamabad were trying to save the region from the brink, a clear signal came from Netanyahu’s office in Jerusalem: the war must go on. For the Israeli prime minister, a ceasefire isn’t a respite – it’s a death sentence. And Donald Trump, surrounded by a family with deep roots in the Zionist movement, appears to have become a pawn in someone else’s game, the goal of which is to destroy Iran at any cost to satisfy Netanyahu.

    Colonial connections in policing: from Palestine solidarity to drugs enforcement

    Anyone who doubts the intensity of political policing today should just read our calendar of racism and resistance, where the highly ideological attempt to counter and contain the Palestine solidarity movement is laid bare in reports of arrests, prosecutions, protest restrictions and the ‘cumulative disruption’ amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill.

    When The People Claim Their Own Hegemonic Project The Oligarchs & Courtier Class Act Swiftly

    Thursday, 16 April 2026 — Great Power Politics, Elites & Energy

    Roger Boyd

    Gramsci saw a war of position, where the opposition to the capitalist oligarchy not only develops a parallel cultural project but also engages in a long-term process of gaining the support of the wider population and social institutions for the alternative cultural hegemonic project, as necessary in advanced bourgeois “democratic” societies. The problem is that the most class-conscious group in society is the capitalist oligarchy and if required it will rapidly move against any such threatening project; including whatever levels of coercion and violence are required.

The richest 1% owns more than TWICE as much wealth as 6.9 billion people and the super-rich one percent of the world’s population has accumulated twice as much wealth as the remaining 90 percent, global charity Oxfam said in a newly-released report. The world’s richest 1% emit double the carbon of the poorest 50%, the 2020 Oxfam study found.
