A 12-year-old boy rescued a two-year-old trapped 8.5 meters down a well after his firefighter father and the child’s uncle couldn’t fit through the narrow opening in the northern Iranian city of Behshahr.
To be accurate, the BritCard has been scrapped. However, this does not mean the UK is free from surveillance; according to widely accepted reports, we remain the most surveilled population outside China.
Following a public outcry, as evidenced by a 3‑million‑signature petition against the compulsory BritCard, Parliament held a debate in December 2025 that ultimately led to Keir Starmer’s mandatory BritCard U‑turn, announced in January 2026. The BritCard was now set to be voluntary. However, last month’s musical-chairs leadership change heralded Andy Burnham as the new Prime Minister, whose first meaningless policy change was to ditch the BritCard altogether.
I say meaningless because Apple, which holds between 54% and 70% of the UK mobile phone market depending on the demographic, has recently introduced a draconian digital ID verification requirement in iOS 26.4+. It forces all UK users to provide a government ID or credit card to age‑verify, or have their phone restricted to child‑level internet access. Apple claims this is required under UK law, but it is not, as the Online Safety Act 2023 does not apply to phones. This has been confirmed by Ofcom, the body designated to regulate the Act.
Facial recognition cameras are now endemic in the UK. From publications such as The Retail Gazette and The Guardian, it can be deduced that the rollout of Live Facial Recognition (LFR) cameras across UK supermarkets has reached an unprecedented scale, and they are replacing standard cameras on our roadways. I could go on about UK surveillance and censorship and how this is increasingly controlled by corporations as opposed to governments… but I will save it for another day. Instead, I will leave my American friends with the not‑so‑nice answer to the question on your lips — yes, Apple has active intentions and has already begun rolling out its on‑device age and identity verification schemes in the US of A.
@blankspeaker I don’t think those comments about Suliaman are fair. X stop monetising him. He is building on YouTube and is away in the Middle East (West Asia) at the moment
The methodology by which they do exactly that is via “infectious clones”, wouldn’t you agree, Doctor? But I agree with you; the lab leak theory is likely a distraction from the truth.
More likely, an infectious clone was released in various key areas so that people would exhibit the symptoms that would fool the doctors who treated them into thinking they had caught the mystery virus. Back this up with a misused and misunderstood PCR test and you have the ingredients for a perfect psyop. Check out Dr JJ Couey for the best explanation I’ve heard regarding the COVID era.
His theory makes the virus/ no virus debate unnecessary, because whether they exist or not, biologists can create a DNA model that acts like a so-called virus. It can cause symptoms which scare people into going to the hospital, where some say they applied a set of protocols likely to hasten death. Alternatively, they can "play" with the figures, showing only the people who they claim died that day from the mystery illness, without the context of the normal number of people who die every day, or die from illnesses with similar symptoms such as flu and pneumonia, etc.
We don’t need to accept the “no virus“ argument to prevent us from falling for another psyop. After all, have they not told us that man-made climate change is about to wipe us out? Some say that this is another psyop. Whether it’s true or not, I say it’s neocolonialism by another name, but then I digress.
We don’t need to divide ourselves by arguing about the details. We all agree: the people were played. And they continue to be played in new arenas. Different drama, different theatre, new lines, same actors! Right?
Whether it's war, genocide, terrorism, pandemics or climate change, we have to ask the salient question: is everything what it may seem?
I'd love to hear your thoughts...
Anti‑Zionism Wins Legal Shield
A Landmark UK ruling says anti‑Zionist views can’t be written off as antisemitism!
The UK Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) has delivered a striking intervention in the fallout from Professor David Miller’s high‑profile dismissal by the University of Bristol. What started as an attempt to remove him for antisemitism ended up as a firing on the basis of gross misconduct when an independent barrister’s investigation concluded there was “no formal case to answer” for antisemitism. Effectively, the university was using misconduct as a proxy for antisemitic allegations it could not previously substantiate. In a decision that cuts directly across that approach, the EAT court confirmed that specific anti‑Zionist beliefs are protected under UK law and cannot be treated as misconduct or as a proxy for antisemitism.
Yesterday's ruling establishes a binding legal precedent, which means anti-Zionist beliefs are protected under the Equality Act 2010, including the belief that 'Zionism is inherently racist, imperialist and colonial, and ought to be opposed’, provided one is not advocating violence or breaking any other law in expression of those beliefs. It means anti-Zionism cannot simply be dismissed as antisemitic.
This interesting day in the anti-Zionist movement should not be seen as the end of the road, as the University of Bristol can take this to the Court of Appeal, and if they lose there, they can take it to the Supreme Court for the final word. So, as they say, watch this space.

Five coffins, one rumour — a case of precision, collateral or betrayal?
Five coffins crossing Mehran tell one story. A deleted Telegram message tells another. When a rumour surfaces before any official confirmation, before the names, before the funerals, it forces us to look a little deeper and ask: Did we witness precision strikes, collateral damage or political betrayal?
The video below shows the coffins of five IRGC members killed in the recent US-Saudi attacks on Iraq arriving today in Iran through the Mehran border crossing, apparently confirming a report made by a random poster in a Telegram group during the early hours of the 29th, when news of the strikes first broke, before any media confirmation of the IRGC deaths; it declared the following:
“...About the IRGC advisers that were killed in the US-Saudi strike, I can say this. Iraq gave the US the locations of these people. A country that betrays its president and hangs him under the direction of the US cannot be trusted. US can never hit so precisely that they killed 5 IRGC members without any information from the Iraqi government. The Iraqi president also went along with the strikes…”
The post has since been taken down, but I noted its contents because I wanted to verify the IRGC deaths, and at the time there wasn’t any confirmation. So now I am wondering: what else did the poster get right? Were the five IRGC men that Iranian media described as “members” really “advisors”, as the poster said? Were they really targeted, or were they collateral damage of Saudi-US PMF targeting? True, five does seem a lot to be random. And if they were targeted, was it really by betrayal of the Iraqi government and its president? Are the Americans not capable of intelligence, surveillance, pattern‑of‑life tracking, thermal imaging and reconnaissance? Is it fair to infer that the Iraqis cannot be trusted because they killed their president at the behest of the US over 20 years ago?
Interesting…
Not all my questions are rhetorical - most are not.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on these questions…tell me in the comments…
US are considering banning mobile phones across West Asia for their operatives in the region, amid precise Iranian targeting. A massive feat from a nation whose airforce has fallen from the sky and whose navy has sunk to the bottom of sea, apparently.
Following the failure of US air defenses to intercept Iranian missiles, air navigation data shows that German and French military aircraft have headed to US bases in Jordan to assist American forces in intercepting Iranian attacks.
@LukeAutomata Your apparent lack of ability to engage in intellectual discourse and your preference for ad hominem attacks says more about your IQ than it does mine.
