Van den Ende and Brand do not make the cut as they manufacture the real news, which the legions of BBC hacks are paid to discredit.
Neither SCF columnist Sonja van den Ende nor awakening wonder Russell Brand are members of MI6’s Trusted News Initiative, which MI6’s BBC informs us was set up by British Intelligence to fight their self declared fake news they say the likes of van den Ende and Brand personify worldwide. As “The Trusted News Initiative is a partnership, founded by the BBC, that includes organisations from around the globe including; AP, AFP, BBC, CBC/Radio-Canada, European Broadcasting Union (EBU), Financial Times, Information Futures Lab, Google/YouTube, The Hindu, The Nation Media Group, Meta, Microsoft, Thomson Reuters, Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, Twitter, The Washington Post, Kompas – Indonesia, Dawn – Pakistan, Indian Express, NDTV – India, ABC – Australia, SBS – Australia, NHK – Japan”, it dominates the global informational space but, sadly, van den Ende and Brand do not make the cut as they manufacture the real news these legions of BBC hacks are paid to discredit.
After Belgium refused to stop funding UNRWA, Israeli occupation forces targeted and destroyed the Enabel building in Gaza, which housed the federal government of Belgium’s development agency.
At least 30 dead Palestinians were discovered buried under garbage, handcuffed, and blindfolded at a school in northern Gaza following Israeli withdrawal from the area.
@declassifiedUK has revealed that since the beginning of Israel’s genocide campaign in Gaza in October, the Israeli military has conducted a minimum of six landings within the United Kingdom, spanning across at least four distinct locations.
HART has increasingly questioned the actual existence of any genuine pandemic in 2020. We have come to the conclusion that based on any sane definition of the word, there simply wasn’t one. However, we currently live in a world where this is a minority view. The eye-watering profitability of the ‘pandemic preparedness’ industry means we will likely remain in a minority for the foreseeable, due to the much discussed media-regulatory-institutional capture we now know to exist. With this caveat in mind, we can still discuss the UK public health response of 2020. Why did we throw out the entire rule book and implement the most disruptive and harmful replacement policies?

Wang Yi, Member of Politbureau of Chinese Communist Party Central Committee and director of Central Foreign Affairs Office (3rd from left) met with Jake Sullivan, assistant to US President for National Security (3rd from Right), Bangkok, Jan. 26-27, 2024There is an old proverb that when misfortunes come, they come in battalions. Coming on top of reports of American soldiers going down like nine-pins on a drone strike against the super secret CIA station for intelligence and covert operations on the Syrian-Jordanian border, ’nyet’ is the word from Beijing to the Biden administration’s entreaties seeking intervention with Tehran to rein in the Houthis of Yemen, against the foreboding backdrop of the Axis of Resistance expanding its operations against American and Israeli interests.

Netpol is preparing a report on the policing of Palestine protests in England and Wales – and we need you to send us your experiences.
Palestine protests have faced increasingly severe police restrictions, been vilified as “hate marches”, and there have been calls for the outright banning of demonstrations. Hundreds have been arrested and protesters have been accused of antisemitism and “glorifying terrorism”.
Netpol and the legal support groups we work with continue to gather extensive evidence of the way British police tactics have been used to disrupt and deter Palestinian solidarity activities.
Now Netpol plans to gather these stories, interviews and statistics, with context and analysis, into a comprehensive report that can support campaigners to defend their fundamental right to protest in defence of the Palestinian people.
We are keen to hear about any notable police incidents, and especially if you have experienced:
You can share your evidence and testimony by writing a statement or sharing video securely to palestinereport@protonmail.com.

The creation of closed technological state and corporate clubs, the development and implementation of new measures to limit access to digital technologies, as well as restraining competing cultural and civilizational communities and states in the development of their own digital technologies has in fact already become a reality of international interaction.
In this guest comment, former judge Dr. Manfred Kölsch analyzes the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA), which will soon come into full force. He concludes that the regulation uses undefined termes and the threat of large fines to entice social media platforms to censor inconvenient opionions and informatio

The Digital Services Act (DSA) will come into full force in Germany on 17 February 2024 as EU Regulation 2022/2065. Before this date, the Digital Services Act (DDG), which concretises the DSA, is to be passed by the Bundestag without fanfare.

On the 75th anniversary of the battle that lifted the Siege of Leningrad in World War 2, people walk in snowfall to the Motherland monument to place flowers at the Piskaryovskoye Cemetery where the victims were buried, St. Petersburg, Russia, January 26, 2019An epochal anniversary from the annals of modern history is coming up in another ten days that remains a living memory for the Russian people. The Siege of Leningrad, arguably the most gruesome episode of the Second World War, which lasted for 900 days, was finally broken by the Soviet Red Army on 27th January 1944, eighty years ago to be exact.
The Arabic word Asabiyya, or ‘social solidarity,’ is a soundbite in the west, but taken very seriously by the globe’s new contenders China, Russia, and Iran. It is Yemen, however, that is mainstreaming the idea, by sacrificing everything for the world’s collective morality in a bid to end the genocide in Gaza.
