Shell shifted billions in profits to tax havens.

Complex corporate structures, intragroup transactions used to shift profits to the Bahamas and Switzerland.

Taxes dodged in many countries, including the UK.

Govt inaction is protecting secret subsidies.

🚨NEWS: UK Government ordered Apple to let them spy on our phones AGAIN.

Apple is bringing a new legal challenge over fresh orders from the Government to create a backdoor that would effectively break encryption for millions of British users.

This is a serious attack on our privacy & civil liberties.

This renewed attempt to push through a mass surveillance order, after failing last year, is deeply authoritarian.

The Government must withdraw this draconian order.

Palantir paid just £2m corporation tax in UK in 2024 despite £247m revenue, £25.3m profit.

Doesn't pay much anywhere, effective global tax rate is 1.4%

Shifts profits through intragroup transactions, enjoys tax breaks.

Getting more UK Govt contracts.

🇪🇸|#Spain | This is not a migration crisis. It is a multi-front war orchestrated by the Mossad and the CIA and executed by Morocco against a nation that refuses to become an imperial vassal.

This is not a wave of migration, it is a carefully orchestrated geopolitical attack. The people flooding the Ceuta border are not refugees; they are being used as human battering rams to punish a government that refused to bow to Washington. When Spain refused to serve as a launchpad for the U.S. war on Iran, Washington, Tel Aviv, and Rabat joined forces to weaponize the North African border.

🎯 The Real Target is Spain not Migrants

On July 30, 2026, thousands of migrants predominantly young men flooded into Ceuta, Spain’s enclave in North Africa. Between 1,500 and 2,000 migrants arrived in just a few days, representing roughly 2% of Ceuta’s population. At least nine people died while attempting to swim across.

But why now? Why Ceuta?

Because Spain said "No."

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez refused to allow the U.S. to use two military bases in southern Spain; #Morón and #Rota to attack #Iran. Spain also refused to let ships carrying weapons to Israel dock at its ports. Spain recalled its ambassador to Israel. Spain recognized the State of Palestine. In short, Spain refused to act as a submissive puppet of the empire.

The punishment - Morocco opened the floodgates.

🗺️ Who Opened the Floodgates? An Invisible Hand at Work

The same thing happened in 2021. At that time, Morocco retaliated against Spain by relaxing border controls, allowing about 8,000 people to pour into Ceuta. Now, the script is playing out again but on a larger scale and with more sophisticated tools.

On the Moroccan side, the auxiliary forces responsible for border security voluntarily withdrew as the crowds passed through. This was coordination not loss of control.

And the timing is no coincidence too. Spain is approaching an election. A migration crisis is the perfect weapon to undermine the incumbent government, a classic tactic of the Mossad and the CIA.

🔪 The Bigger Game is the Struggle for the Strait of Gibraltar

This migration crisis is merely one move in a much larger game. The real prize is the Strait of Gibraltar, a chokepoint through which approximately 10% of global maritime trade and around 100,000 vessels pass annually.

In January 2026, Israel and Morocco signed a joint military action plan. Israel now supplies at least 51% of Morocco's missiles. With Israeli support, Morocco is massively expanding its drone production; it has deployed the Israeli "Spyder" air defense system and is locally manufacturing the Israeli SpyX loitering munition (kamikaze drone). A joint maritime surveillance center is currently being established on Morocco's northern coast.

A U.S. report identifies the Israel-Morocco arms deal as a turning point in the balance of power within the Strait of Gibraltar. Morocco even proposed to Trump that the U.S. bases at Morón and Rota be relocated from Spain to Morocco. A Spanish general admitted: "Morón Air Base will sooner or later be moved to Morocco."

Washington, Tel Aviv, and Rabat are acting in concert to push Spain out of the Strait of Gibraltar and replace it with a compliant Morocco.

💀 The "Multinational Force" in Gaza: Morocco's Ultimate Role

Meanwhile, Morocco is emerging as a key implementer of Israel's post-war plans for Gaza. For the first time, Morocco will host training exercises for a multinational force expected to number around 20,000 troops. Approximately 30 Moroccan military officers have already entered Gaza to conduct on-the-ground reconnaissance. Morocco is expected to deploy around 500 soldiers to Gaza. Israeli officials now describe Morocco as Israel's most important security partner on the African continent.

A nation that uses "support for Palestine" as its diplomatic calling card is now becoming an instrument of military enforcement for Israeli control over Gaza.

⚡ The Complete Chain of the Plot

Here is the full picture:

1. Spain says "No": Refusing U.S. bases, Israeli arms shipments, and unconditional support for Israel.
2. Morocco opens the floodgates: Thousands of migrants pour into Ceuta, creating a crisis to punish Spain.
3. Israel supplies weapons: Missiles, drones, and air defense systems transforming Morocco into a regional military power.
4. The US provides cover: Washington supports Israel-Morocco military cooperation and tacitly condones the weaponization of migration.
5. The Strait of Gibraltar is the prize: a strategic waterway controlling 10% of global maritime trade.
6. Gaza is the ultimate goal: Morocco playing a "peacekeeping" role in Israeli-occupied Gaza.
