The BBC links to the Conservative Party

MintPress News

Alan MacLeod speaks about BBC’s extremely close links to the ruling Conservative Party. While often criticized by right-wingers as a bastion of liberalism, a multitude of top BBC executives and directors are directly linked to Toryism. For example, BBC chairman Richard Sharp was a senior adviser to many top Tories, including both former prime minister Boris Johnson and Sunak himself. Sharp has also donated at least £400,000 to the party. Meanwhile, as MacLeod notes, the BBC’s former head of political programming, Robbie Gibb – the brother of a Tory cabinet minister – left the broadcasting corporation to become the director of communications for Conservative prime minister Theresa May.

Yemen VAPORIZES Saudi ARAMCO HQ & Obliterates Every Saudi Airport

Jackson Hinkle Official Saudi Arabia's Civil Aviation Authority now confirms that 12 people were killed and 309 injured in Yemen's strike on King Khalid International Airport. Then the strikes kept coming: Terminal 4 in Riyadh, two hits on Dammam's King Fahd airport in 24 hours, Abha, and reports of eight Saudi airports closing. Saudi Airlines is now racing to move billions of dollars' worth of planes out of harm's way, the Misk Global Forum has been cancelled, and the EU–GCC summit has been postponed. After Saudi Arabia struck Yemeni oil fields, Ansarallah issued evacuation warnings for Aramco's Dhahran headquarters, its main Riyadh refinery and King Khalid airport, and footage then showed the Aramco HQ on fire. Now Riyadh is asking for talks in Oman, Trump says nothing happens until after the midterms, and Hinkle shares what the Yemeni delegation went through to reach Iran for the funeral of Sayyed Ali Khamenei.

WE LOST”: Lowkey DROPS BOMBSHELL on Trump, Israel & UK’s FAILED War in Yemen

Double Down News The Pentagon’s worst nightmare has just become a reality. For a decade, the US, UK, and their Gulf proxies spent billions dropping state-of-the-art bombs on Yemen to break them into submission. Instead, the poorest nation on earth just paralysed the Western war machine, shut down 12% of global maritime trade, and bankrupted Israel’s strategic southern port. In this exclusive Double Down News documentary, Lowkey exposes the staggering £15 Billion BAE Systems blood scandal, the dark history of Western intervention, and how a starving, besieged nation weaponised its geography to stand in total solidarity with Gaza—and won. The global military-industrial complex is terrified. This is the story the establishment media refuses to tell you.

Trump Blames Bret Baier & FOX NEWS For Election Wipeout

The Jimmy Dore Show Following the Republicans’ drubbing in Tuesday’s midterm elections, Donald Trump blamed the losses on a range of others, even pointing the finger at Fox News host Bret Baier. He also seemed to reverse his ringing endorsement of Greg Abbott just ten hours after publicly praising the Texas Governor. In this segment Jimmy highlights Trump’s complaints about Senator John Cornyn’s perceived disloyalty and his claims that Fox News has treated him unfairly, arguing that Trump demands loyalty from others while readily abandoning allies himself. Jimmy connects all this behavior to Trump’s earlier attacks on supporters who pressed him to release the Epstein files, invoking Rush Limbaugh’s prediction that Trump alone could destroy his connection with his political base. Jimmy argues that Trump’s refusal to accept responsibility and repeated reversals expose the weakness of his political leadership and the one-sided nature of his loyalty.

Iran & Yemen’s Maritime Trap: How They Control Global Trade

BreakThrough News Saudi Arabia has $142 billion in American weapons. Yemen is the poorest country in the Arab world. So why can't Riyadh win? Last month, Ansar Allah seized Mokha and Perim Island, and with them the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, cutting off Saudi Arabia's alternative oil route around the closed Strait of Hormuz. Mohammed bin Salman begged Trump for US airstrikes, then backed "Dawn of Yemen," a 100-warplane offensive aimed at Sanaa, as crude oil again tops $100 a barrel. Veteran war correspondent and analyst Elijah Magnier joins Rania Khalek and Zoe Alexandra on the Red Sea front, as nearly 1,000 Yemenis have been killed and 184,000 displaced since fighting resumed. But Magnier argues Ansar Allah – often referred to in US media as the Houthis – hasn't lost much ground. He explains why Saudi warplanes are largely powerless in Yemen's mountainous terrain, and why he sees the movement advancing on Taiz and Marib. And Magnier breaks down how Hormuz and Bab ...

Οι Αμερικανοί έτοιμοι να εγκαταλείψουν τους Ευρωπαίους συμμάχους τους!

του system failure Ένα άρθρο που δημοσιεύτηκε στο Foreign Affairs (ένα από τα σημαντικότερα Αμερικανικά think tank) στις 30 Οκτωβρίου, είναι ιδιαίτερα αποκαλυπτικό όσον αφορά το μέλλον της ΝΑΤΟικής συμμαχίας και ειδικότερα, το μέλλον των Ευρωπαίων συμμάχων των ΗΠΑ. Το άρθρο έχει τίτλο «Μπορεί το Σκανδιναβικό μοντέλο να σώσει το ΝΑΤΟ;» και υπότιτλο «Ένας νέος τρόπος αποτροπής της Ρωσίας» και περιγράφει ένα νέο σχεδιασμό για την συμμαχία υπό την ταμπέλα ΝΑΤΟ 3.0. Ο κεντρικός πυρήνας του άρθρου εκθειάζει ουσιαστικά το Σκανδιναβικό ΝΑΤΟικό παρακλάδι, το οποίο παρουσιάζεται ενισχυμένο μετά την πρόσφατη ένταξη της Φινλανδίας και της Σουηδίας, υποστηρίζοντας λίγο-πολύ, ότι η επιχειρησιακή του ικανότητα έχει βελτιωθεί σε τέτοιο βαθμό, που θα μπορούσε στο άμεσο μέλλον να λειτουργήσει χωρίς την Αμερικανική συνεισφορά, εποπτεία και καθοδήγηση. Άρα, σύμφωνα πάντα με το συγκεκριμένο άρθρο, το Σκανδιναβικό παρακλάδι θα μπορούσε να χρησιμοποιηθεί ως πρότυπο και για άλλα ΝΑΤΟικά παρακλάδι...

Confirmed: US imperialists wanted to drag Russia into a war with Ukraine since at least 2019

globinfo freexchange As we wrote in our previous article, after almost eight years, the US imperialists and the NATO criminals got what they wanted. They finally managed to drag Russia into a war with Ukraine. We now have indisputable evidence for that, through a document by the top US think tank, RAND Corporation. In the preface of a 2019 report under the title Extending Russia, Competing from Advantageous Ground we read: [emphasis added] The purpose of the project was to examine a range of possible means to extend Russia. By this, we mean nonviolent measures that could stress Russia’s military or economy or the regime’s political standing at home and abroad. The steps we posit would not have either defense or deterrence as their prime purpose, although they might contribute to both. Rather, these steps ar...

A warning to the US-Zionist warhawks: Iran has a plan to retaliate against even a nuclear strike

globinfo freexchange And how do we know that? We saw it in the field and the way through which Iran marked an unprecedented victory against US-Zionist criminals. Iran completely changed the nature of war. As we wrote right before the beginning of the US-Zionist attack against Iran: The nature of war has changed dramatically since the Iraq war, due to technological developments. A ground invasion, especially against Iran, would be catastrophic for the US empire with unpredictable consequences, even if the regime-change mission successfully completed. The Iran allies in the region are still active, despite their losses. […] armed groups dispersed in the Middle-East and affiliated with Iran, can lead to an asymmetric, out-of-control conflict to the point where US forces may suddenly find themselves trapped in a wider deadly warzone with no exit. The new, relatively cheap technology of drones and small/middle range missiles, is easily accessible to these groups. The Ansar Allah ...

Varoufakis: IT technologies will overthrow Capitalism

globinfo freexchange The former Greek Minister of Finance, Yanis Varoufakis, ended his recent speech on the Future of Capitalism, at the New School, New York, with some interesting remarks. As he said: The world we live in, is increasingly rudderless, in a constant slow burning recession, while at the very same time, the increasing concentration in the IT sector is creating the new technologies that will do that which the Left has failed to do: overthrow Capitalism. It is really very simple. The moment machines pass the Turing test properly, and you pick up the phone and you do not know whether the person you are talking to is a human being or a machine ˙ the moment we are going to have 3D printers operating as public utilities - you can send any blueprint to it and it can print from one pin to a motorcycle, or to a car - the moment that this happens, we have not just a process of Schumpeterian creative destruction, but we have a process where economies of sc...
