[Canary @TheCanaryUK]

The Canary will be closed for the foreseeable future.

As of today (Monday 19 October), the Canary will be closed indefinitely.

After multiple attacks this year, from Lloyds debanking us to former employees spreading malicious lies on social media, the situation has become unsustainable, both financially and operationally.

After 11 years, we take this action with deep sadness and regret. The extent of the lies, defamation, and harassment by ex-staff - coupled with the constant attacks by the state and those who’d see us destroyed - has become too much.

However, it is not over. This week, we will publish what really happened at the Canary and push back against the vicious campaign against our team and us.

We may be down, but we’re not out yet.

[Media Lens @medialens]

It's a complete mystery why @BBCNews appears to have blanked this UN report which is utterly damning of the BBC and Western media.

They have all 'facilitated genocide'.

===

Albanese found that Western ­media “camouflaged” Israeli ­responsibility in headlines, with the BBC most ­criticised for this, having been found to do so in 83% of its headlines, ­according to media analysis.

The “striking example” provided in the report was of Hind Rajab.

Five-year-old Hind Rajab was killed alongside her family while attempting to flee Gaza City two years ago. The car they were in was found riddled with 335 bullet holes from rounds fired by Israeli military personnel.

The BBC headline still reads: “Hind Rajab,5, found dead in Gaza days ­after phone calls for help.”

British Left-Wing Media Outlet ‘The Canary’ Has Announced It Is Officially Closing After 11 Years Of Journalism

The platform was de-banked by Lloyds Bank & later announced a second account with Metro Bank was also frozen. A major attack was launched against the platform, which The Canary said made continuing to operate untenable.

The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) condemned the move by Lloyds Bank as a “disturbing precedent for UK press freedom”. Online commentators have warned that the ability of the establishment to cripple media organisations critical of them creates a hostile environment that will pressure other news outlets to fall into line or face similar potential backlash.

معلومات خطيرة من داخل البرلمان المصري حول تفويض السيسي لإرسال قوات للقتال في اليمن.

أخبرني مصدر موثوق، مقرب من أحد أعضاء مجلس النواب المصري، بأن جلسة اليوم شهدت اعتراضات برلمانية واسعة ومفاجئة على طلب عبد الفتاح السيسي تفويضه بإرسال قوات مصرية إلى السعودية للمشاركة في الحرب على اليمن.

وبحسب المصدر، شهدت الجلسة السرية مشادات حادة وغير مسبوقة، وصلت إلى صراخ عدد من النواب واحتجاجهم بشدة على طبيعة المهمة العسكرية المطلوبة، ما أربك حسابات النظام المصري ودفع إلى تأجيل التصويت واستكمال المناقشات يومي الاثنين والثلاثاء، 19 و20 أكتوبر.

والمفاجأة الكبرى تتعلق بطبيعة التفويض نفسه.

فالسيسي يطلب موافقة البرلمان استناداً إلى المادة 152 من الدستور المصري، التي تجيز إرسال القوات المسلحة في مهام قتالية خارج حدود الدولة بعد أخذ رأي مجلس الدفاع الوطني وموافقة ثلثي أعضاء مجلس النواب.

وهذا يعني أن السيسي يحتاج إلى 398 صوتاً من أصل 596 نائباً للحصول على التفويض، وأن عدم موافقة 199 نائباً يكفي لمنع تمريره.

لكن ما أثار غضب عدد من النواب، وفقاً للمصدر، هو التفاصيل التي كُشفت لهم عندما طالبوا بتوضيح طبيعة العمليات العسكرية المزمع تنفيذها.

فالمهمة، بحسب ما أُبلغ به النواب، لن تقتصر على الدفاع عن الأراضي السعودية، بل تشمل مشاركة قوات مصرية في عمليات قتالية برية داخل الأراضي اليمنية، تحت قيادة ضباط سعوديين.

هذه التفاصيل تحديداً أثارت احتجاجات شديدة داخل الجلسة، ودفعت عدداً من النواب إلى رفض منح السيسي تفويضاً قد يزج بالجيش المصري في حرب برية داخل اليمن، تحت قيادة عسكرية أجنبية.

وتتركز أبرز الاعتراضات في الحزب المصري الديمقراطي الاجتماعي، الذي يمتلك 12 مقعداً، وقد أعلن رئيس هيئته البرلمانية محمود سامي الإمام رفض الحزب للتفويض. وبحسب المصدر، تمتد الاعتراضات أيضاً إلى نواب من حزب التجمع الوطني التقدمي الوحدوي، الذي يمتلك 5 مقاعد، وقوى سياسية وبرلمانية أخرى.

والأخطر أن بعض القوى المعارضة، وفقاً للمصدر، لوّحت بالتصعيد خارج البرلمان والنزول إلى الشارع وتنظيم مظاهرات ضد النظام المصري إذا أصر على إرسال الجيش للقتال في اليمن.

ويؤكد المصدر أن السيسي وأجهزة النظام فوجئوا بحجم المعارضة، وأن ضغوطاً مكثفة تُمارس لتغيير مواقف النواب قبل استكمال المناقشات والتصويت.

كما يرجح المصدر أن يلجأ النظام إلى وسائل ضغط أشد، قد تشمل التهديدات ومحاولات شراء ولاءات بعض النواب لضمان الحصول على الأصوات المطلوبة بحلول الثلاثاء.

ما يجري داخل البرلمان المصري ليس مجرد خلاف على دعم السعودية، بل صراع حول الزج بالجيش المصري في حرب برية داخل اليمن، وتحت قيادة ضباط سعوديين.

“Let me die,” American photojournalist Heidi Levine repeats to journalists Jasper Nathaniel as they try to outrun masked Israeli settlers who attacked her on Friday while she covered the olive harvest in the West Bank village of Abu Falah, near Ramallah.

Around 80 settlers attacked Palestinian olive harvesters in the village, AP reported. The Palestinian Red Crescent said it treated six people injured in two attacks in Abu Falah.

Levine, a freelancer for the Washington Post, told the Committee to Protect Journalists that the settlers knocked her down and kicked her for at least 10 minutes, even after she identified herself as an American journalist. They stole her camera, phone and bag. She was eventually taken to a hospital in Ramallah.

"The IDF provided cover, with tear gas and machine guns, while the settlers beat" Levine "nearly to death," Nathaniel wrote, adding that soldiers then shot a Palestinian bystander and aimed their guns at and shoved paramedics trying to treat him. AP photos and circulating videos show Israeli soldiers standing over a wounded Palestinian man after they shot him.

Andrey X, an activist also at the scene, said a Palestinian man "saved our lives from the settler-terrorists who attacked the olive harvesters and journalists” armed only with a slingshot.

If the UK media wasn't entirely captured by the billionaire class – serving as its PR division – then we might know more about the role of the United States in meddling in UK politics.

The recent claims of a supposed “terrorist plot” outside RAF Fairford – really a US airforce base pretending to be a British base and one from which the US has waged an illegal war of aggression against Iran – should have reminded us that the Pentagon is largely in charge of UK foreign policy.

The US has some 15 major military bases on British soil, plus half a dozen smaller intelligence sites. As the rightwing US podcaster Tucker Carlson recently observed, the fact that Britain has foreign troops crawling all over it makes us little more than an occupied “vassal state”.

The US recently announced a $4 billion upgrade of its UK bases, including establishing storage sites for its nuclear arsenal. The plan caused barely a ripple of interest among British politicians or the media .

Although our political and media class pretend the UK is an equal partner in a western defence alliance, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, the reality is very different. Nato takes its orders from the US, doing Washington’s bidding. That’s why Nato has been pivoting towards America’s biggest economic rival, China, which is, of course, nowhere near the North Atlantic.

When the US snaps its fingers, Britain stands to attention and hikes its spending on the war industries. Along with European governments, the UK is willing to drain its national coffers and scythe through public spending with yet more austerity cuts to support Washington’s military agenda for “full-spectrum global dominance”.

Much of the US influence on British politics is carefully concealed from view, operating behind closed doors.

In the early 2010s, the US was desperately seeking a pretext to extradite Julian Assange from the UK and lock him up in a super-max jail, hiding him out of sight after his organisation Wikileaks revealed US and British war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq. It was during this period that Starmer, as the director of public prosecutions, repeatedly jetted off to Washington for secret meetings with US officials.

We will never know what was discussed. Freedom of information requests discovered that his own officials destroyed all records of those meetings.

Once he became a politician, Starmer was recruited to the shadowy Trilateral Commission, originally founded in the 1970s by officials in Jimmy Carter’s administration to deal with the supposed problem of “an excess of democracy” in the US. The commission’s view was that voters were becoming dangerously less passive, at that time over the Vietnam war, and ways needed to be found to return them to docility.

A similar British-American Project cements ties between rising stars in British politics, business and journalism and Washington elites. The power imbalance between the two sides ensures up-and-coming British leaders are readily groomed into an Atlanticist worldview in which the UK is very much the junior partner.

There are a plethora of other “respected’ think-tanks and organisations whose chief role is to embed US policy ideas, especially those relating to foreign policy, in the thinking of British elites. They include the Bilderberg Group, Chatham House, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Atlantic Council, The British-American Parliamentary Group, and BritishAmerican Business.

The US uses its financial muscle through these organisations and many others to manufacture consent for its extreme neoliberal and neoconservative ideologies. The latest example are massive grants to organisations willing to export Trump’s MAGA ideology to the UK, masquerading as a “public education” initiative.

There is plenty of evidence to show that it was pressure from the Trump administration that led to the unprecedented decision by Starmer’s government to proscribe a civil disobedience group, Palestine Action, for the first time in Britain’s history as a terrorist organisation.

Palestine Action had incensed Israel by targeting its weapons factories on UK soil, highlighting another aspect of British collusion in the Gaza genocide, and had infuriated Trump personally by spraying one of his golf courses in Scotland with the words “Gaza is not 4 sale”.

In truth, the ways that the US meddles directly in British politics are so numerous it is virtually impossible to quantify them. Britain is little more than a colony of the US, receiving diktats on important foreign policy issues – especially regarding US and Israeli interests – that the UK is invariably too frightened to oppose.

Burnham is already rolling over to reverse the UK’s decision to honour a ruling from the International Court of Justice and other international tribunals that Britain has no claim to sovereignty over the Chagos Islands and must return them to Mauritius. The UK has faced a temper tantrum from Trump on the matter because the US operates an illegal military base on one of the islands.

Disobedience by the UK is the exception, not the rule. Which makes Burnham’s exclusive focus on Russian influence almost laughably beside the point. This furious finger-pointing at the Kremlin is designed with one purpose in mind only: to distract the British public from where the real external meddling in our politics is coming from.

When we return, if the files haven’t been released and if Hegseth is still in office, I’ll force a vote on both.

🚨🇺🇸 Federal agents took Ilhan Omar's passport, and the goal is to strip her citizenship and deport her three weeks before her reelection

Twenty Homeland Security agents spent hours in her Washington home Monday and left with her phone, computers, notebooks and passport, while she and her husband watched.

More than 15 subpoenas have gone out, including to her sister.

Reports claim the administration's aim is denaturalization and removal.

The case turns on one year. Investigators are examining whether Omar or her late father listed her as 17 instead of 18 on paperwork in 2000, which would have let her gain citizenship automatically through him.

Her office says there is "no basis" for any of it, and the same tip reached DHS under Biden and went nowhere for lack of evidence... who would've guessed?!
