Yvette Cooper has continually lied about Palestine Action in a panicked attempt to defend the proscription of a direct action protest group which is opposing a Genocide in which Cooper’s government is deeply complicit.
Cooper and other government ministers have repeatedly claimed:
- Palestine Action attacks people, not just weapons-making equipment
- Palestine Action is funded by Iran or another hostile power
- Palestine Action attacks Jewish-owned businesses based on racism
- Palestine Action has plans for future unspecified appalling terrorist acts
In fact none of this is backed up by the assessment of the government’s Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre which forms the basis of the proscription of Palestine Action.
The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC) is not a committee which meets occasionally, but a permanently staffed organisation with premises inside MI5 HQ in Millbank. The JTAC consists of representatives of:
MI5 – the Security Service
MI6 – the Special Intelligence Service
GCHQ – electronic and communications surveillance
DIS – the Defence Intelligence Service
Customs & Excise Special Operations
The Border Force
Metropolitan Police Counter-Terrorism Command
The Home Office
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office
The Ministry of Defence
The Department of Transport
Ten other ministries are included on an ad hoc basis.
All reports of the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre must be approved by consensus of all involved.
It is of course vitally important that all of these bodies are under ministerial control. The object of the exercise is to produce the result desired by ministers, i.e. proscription, justified only on available true facts and a legally tenable argument under the current legislation.
I attach the declassified version of the JTAC report, which has been “gisted” for use in court proceedings.
“Gisted” means it has gone through a process known as “sanitisation”. This means that all the key information has been retained, but in a form which protects the source.
Before I explain this to you I should explain that I once headed the FCO section of an extremely similar operation, not JTAC but ESC. The Embargo Surveillance Centre had very similar membership, was composed of almost exactly the same parties and was also primarily involved in assessing and producing reports and “action-on” from top secret intelligence.
I wrote daily gisted reports and cleared the “sanitisation” with the intelligence service representatives on a daily basis.
The purpose is to protect your source. You cannot give out information so specific that it can cause those under surveillance to say “Oh no my phone is tapped!” or worse “Wow the only person who knew that is Jimmy. He must have told them. Jimmy is an MI5 spy”.
So you have to reduce the level of information down to something that might have a more generic origin. Rather than saying “This group is planning to carry out an attack on Ladies’ Day at Ascot”, for example, you might say “This group is planning an attack in England”.
The object is to give the highest level of information the intelligence services are comfortable in giving.
That might end up being as vague as “This group plans attacks on civilians”. But that information would obviously be vital to the court and it would be given.
In fact there is nothing whatsoever in the JTAC assessment which backs up any of the claims being put out in a panic by government ministers.
The JTAC report makes absolutely clear that its assessment of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation is based only on the definition in the Terrorism Act, of a group that commits serious damage to property in order to influence government policy.
I pause here to note that the United Nations has intervened in the case to state that this does not meet international standards for defining terrorism. Damage to property should only be terrorism when the intent is to endanger life, such as damaging an air traffic control centre.
The JTAC report in fact notes that Palestine Action stresses its philosophy of non-violent action against people. Much is however made of one single attack (out of 385) where substantial violence against persons is alleged (though hotly denied).
But even here the JTAC report notes that the sledgehammer and axe were intended for use against machinery, an obvious fact.
I have blanked out a very small amount of the JTAC report which explicitly relates to this action in Bristol, because it is the subject of an upcoming trial and publication would be in contempt of court. The blanked-out sections take police allegations entirely as fact, even though they are hotly denied and subject to trial.
I have done this despite the fact that both government ministers and the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police have repeatedly made assertions about these events which are absolutely prejudicial to a fair trial, and were undeniably in contempt of court.
Equality before the law has disappeared in the UK.
So here is the official, otherwise unvarnished JTAC report on Palestine Action. It makes plain that government ministers are simply lying about their information. I publish it as a journalist who has been given this document and sees an overwhelming public interest in the truth being known about a matter which has caused the arrest of some thousand people in recent weeks.
- If Palestine Action deliberately attacked people
- If Palestine Action had foreign funding
- If Palestine Action attacked random Jewish businesses
- If Palestine Action planned a big terrorist act
the JTAC report would say so. It says nothing of the sort.
Palestine Action is what it says it is: a non-violent direct action group which targets the Israeli weapons industry and its support and supply line.
It states that its actions are not terrorism but direct action to prevent Genocide – and when given the chance, juries have usually sided with Palestine Action against the government.
The reason Yvette Cooper has proscribed Palestine Action is that she is a member of Labour Friends of Israel and has received £215,000 from the Zionist lobby – which is £215,000 more than Palestine Action ever received on behalf of a foreign power.
Ministers are lying to you. I have provided a little antiseptic daylight.

“Israel lobby funded half of Keir Starmer’s cabinet”
^ Some of those figures look ridiculously small compared to what they are probably paid, e.g. low four-figure GBP sums are cited for some of these creeps.
It isn’t that they’re bent, it’s that they sell so cheap that rankles; have they no pride, no vanity? ;O)
Another day, another restriction on our freedoms.
“More live facial recognition (LFR) vans will be rolled out across seven police forces in England to locate suspects for crimes including sexual offences, violent assaults and homicides, the Home Office has announced.
The forces will get access to 10 new vans equipped with cameras, which scan the faces of people walking past and check them against a list of wanted people.”
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj4wy21dwkwo
The obvious question is ‘where do these lists of wanted people come from ?’
Just as the regime steps up surveillance of the general public, they continue with surveillance over Palestine, providing targeting information for the genocidal Israelis. Just as they outsource the supply of Planes, they now outsource data collection.
“A US military contractor hired by Britain to conduct surveillance over Gaza operated above Nuseirat refugee camp the night before an Israeli bombing killed over 30 Palestinians in December 2024.
Britain has now conducted more than 600 surveillance flights over Gaza since October 2023″

I’m certain that Palantir will be in there somewhere, managing the civil data and military data, for Big Brother Labour.
The British media threatening the public again on behalf of their masters. Fortunately, the technology is bound to be useless.
The technology is revolting, Tom74, and that makes for some interesting and desperate futures for any worthy of the wrath resulting from the bleeding obvious and the sharing of its honest displeasure ……… https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/grok-ai-briefly-suspended-x-after-gaza-genocide-posts
The usual emotive crimes that can have a high conviction rate but not people who should be investigated for fraudulently bankrupting clearing banks, committing crimes against peace, crimes against humanity or war crimes or taking orders from American Caesar instead of the public….
Thank you Craig, your efforts are greatly appreciated.
I must admit that I do not believe any thing that comes out of the government and their hangers on unless I have found verification.
Thank you for the information
Yours is one of the feu blog sites I rely on.
One can hardly rely on any one source of information after >5 years of obvious psy-ops and disinformation. Whitehall is now censoring the internet as much as it can under the Online ‘Safety’ Act. Ditto the EU. USA still has a First Amendment, thank goodness. ‘Alternative media’ are less untrusthworthy.
But of course I believe the copious impartial information emanating from my elected government and its noble British Broadcasting Corporation. So please, police officer, do not accuse me of wrong-think.
‘Right’ and ‘left’ have become meaningless. 60 yrs ago the ‘left’ was pro-free speech. Now ‘the right’ in the form of Toby (Lord) Young runs the Free Speech Union. Andrew Bridgen ex-MP whom some might view as ‘right’ clearly has a moral compass as do Jeremy Corbyn and his brother. Piers Corbyn wrote an article on the ‘COVID’ con for ‘the Conservative Woman 4-5 yrs ago because he couldn’t get any ‘left’ website or blog to cover it.
Right and wrong still make sense to me, though.
Observe Yvette’s brave stormtroopers in action here:

Thanks to these gallant heroes we can all sleep soundly in our beds at night. Makes one proud to be British!
This may be complete tosh, but the deafening silence indicates otherwise.
“Senior officials of London’s Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) military counterintelligence service have been captured in Ukraine by Russian Spetsnaz special forces. … Among them were Colonel Edward Blake, a senior officer in MI6’s Psychological Operations Unit, and Lieutenant Colonel Richard Carroll of the British Ministry of Defense. The third individual captured during the raid is listed only as ‘An MI-6 intelligence officer.’ … The British officers claimed to be in Ukraine as ‘tourists,’ despite being in a Ukrainian military command center and having maps of strategic infrastructure on Russian soil, air defense positions, and instructions for communicating with Ukrainian drone operators. The British government has demanded the repatriation of its ‘tourists,’ ”

I won’t believe a word of that until it’s rubbished by Agents Pears and Redux!
Don’t forget Agent Kinsella 🙂
Keep this under your hat, Stevie, but I believe ‘JK Redux’ may be John Kinsella’s secret alias. Anyway, Happy International Left-Handers’ Day to my fellow southpaws. I’ve just opened a bottle of Rioja Reserva to celebrate (albeit using a right-handed corkscrew).
Didn’t realise that it’s International Left-Handers Day. All the best people are left-handers IMHO! Is it always August 13th or is it a movable feast?
Having had my interest piqued, I’ve just looked at a list of famous left-handers, they include:
Dolly Parton, Justin Bieber, Rafa Nadal, Lionel Messi, Oprah Winfrey, Charlie Chaplin, Harpo Marx, Paul McCartney, Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Martina Navratilova, Prince William, King George VI (but his dad forced him to write right-handed), Bart Simpson (and apparently several other Simpsons characters because Matt Groening was a leftie).
Some less salubrious lefties include:
David Cameron, “Slick Willie” Clinton, Barack Obomber, Winston Churchill, Jack the Ripper, Napoleon Bonaparte, Ronald Reagan (also forced to write right-handed in childhood). Bit of a motley crew there – sinister in both senses of the word, I would say.
Thanks for your reply Frank. To answer your question, International Left-Handers’ Day is always on 13 August. As your lists show, us lefties are over-represented at high levels in fields such as sport, politics and music. With regard to the latter, one celeb that I only recently found out to be a lefty is Noel Gallagher from Oasis, due to the fact that he learnt to play guitar right-handed. Every day’s a school-day, as the sadly departed Jim McColl used to say on The Beechgrove Garden.
Well do you think it plausible that SIS would send two senior officers on a risky field operation?
https://ukdefencejournal.org.uk/false-claim-of-uk-colonels-captured-in-ukraine-spreads/
Fake names, fake picture, fake news.
Not that that will stop some people believing it but Russia is reported as having killed or captured so many senior NATO officers there can’t be many left.
“The UK government has consistently stated that it does not have combat troops operating in Ukraine.”
Obviously not true then.
Who would you send on a risky field operation anyway? Someone that is totally expendable but utterly useless to the Ukrainians, perhaps. Why wouldn’t they send senior officers if they are going to send anyone at all?
The Palestine Action Underground Manual is fine for those who don’t mind the state knowing everything they do, and being picked up by the cops whenever the cops want to pick you up.
1. Tor may be okay for some purposes (like most things, e.g. Tesco), but be aware it was set up by the US military.
2. As for Dropbox, be aware Condoleezza Rice was on its board.
3. Anything to do with Protonmail – just know about Timothy Berners-Lee and then move on.
4. It’s like everything is brandnames for these people. Google, Signal, etc. Is this what is called being a “millennial”? Don’t they know about The Man?
5. They even recommend a website that can generate a “complex password” for you. The thing about having everything done for you is that you may never understand what the “is” is, or learn how to do it yourself.
6. Apparently you can register for Signal using a burner phone and then take the activation code and enter it on your “regular phone”. Yeah, like I bet that will confuse GCHQ. And what TF do you want to be saying on a messaging service anyway? Take it from me – you need to stay AHEAD of the game. Don’t assume that everything that hasn’t been exposed yet as dangerous is safe. Surveillance capability is far ahead of what’s admitted even by the coolest twats on social shittedia. The internet was created for surveillance.
7. Car security – they write as if all you gotta worry about is reg plates and cameras.
8. Kellys solicitors in Brighton? No f***ing thanks! (This is judging from my personal experience with them.)
9. “Step 7: (…) Where possible, don’t use phones or computers” ⬅️ At last, some sensible advice! I suggest putting this in big writing on the front cover, or at the top of every page.
10. Unfortunately, this good advice is followed immediately with “Arranging meetings: use Signal with disappearing messages on.”
FFS do not arrange meetings this way. And don’t work with people who can’t let go of their
penisesphones for long enough to attend meetings where you talk about real important stuff that could get you all banged up or killed. Holding on to your willy all the time is a mental problem. Such problems are not needed in radical cells. This is not a case of “ideally” do not take a phone. Just do not take a phone. There are other ways of arranging meetings too.11. They seem to be in love with Protonmail, which they mention numerous times, and apparently it’s an oh so much better brand than RiseUp. Apparently “Organisations like RiseUp [are] smaller and less well resourced than Protonmail”. Yeah. Well maybe that should tell you something. Trainers also get a mention.
12. It’s like everything’s smartphones and the internet for them. Could have put some basic advice on stuff like trying not to be followed on the street, which many people still don’t know.
I wonder who wrote it? I wouldn’t put anything on a phone or computer that I didn’t want the filth to read.
On 3., Protonmail appears, per my experience, to have had some sort of operational breakdown coinciding more or less to the day with the actuation of Cooper’s proscription order.
The VPN stopped logging in, with the error message directing you to visit a Proton-hosted page to explain why your account should be unblocked. Not applicable, but it took a couple of weeks back-and-forth with customer support to rectify. Is it still Swiss-based, for what that’s worth ? The logo leaves the impression that its server network is rooted in the US …
The email account likewise stopped permitting logins at exactly the same time, but apparently Proton email support is handled by a dept technologically independent of Proton VPN. Unless you’re swift enough, wack-a-mole style, multiple times to open the new-mail composition window, you immediately get bounced out with an error message ‘Something Went Wrong – please try again later’. And that error persists to this day, multiple messages to customer support notwithstanding. They’re working on it, you see …
Has the Proton model been mortally hacked somehow ? It’s simply not credible to maintain a service in that state. Or are they trying to shed accounts whose associations might be viewed as somehow problematic/undesirable from an evolving regulatory perspective ? I’ve come across a rumour or two …
Got to LOVE this:
“Labour peer Shami Chakrabarti told The Independent the “proscription of Palestine Action is in danger of becoming a mistake of poll tax proportions” – a reference to Margaret Thatcher’s unpopular policy that triggered civil disobedience and riots.”
Let’s hope the baroness is right.
Poll Tax Riot, London, 31 March 1990 – the day we didn’t just smash the Tories’ tax that was so blatantly “a bridge too far” in robbing most of the population to fill the coffers of the rich, but the day we smashed Thatcher.
And right now most of the population, when it really comes down to it, is sympathetic towards the Palestinians and aware that the Zionists are nothing but an organisation of ultra-fascist thugs massacring people and imposing starvation, with lotsa propagandists telling lies for them.
Most people know this, with the small exception of knuckledragging morons like the guy who owns my local corner shop, who uses the term “anti-Semitic” when he’s talking about Pakistani Muslim British people because he doesn’t want to sound racist.
However, the Independent is wrong to say “The 532 protesters detained on Saturday is thought to be the highest number of arrests made by the Metropolitan Police in a single protest event since the poll tax riot of 31 March 1990.”
1961, luvvies, Committee of 100. Look it up. 1314 arrests. Easy to remember – battle of Bannockburn. Fewer than 400 people were arrested at the 1990 poll tax riot.
Interestingly C100 too was all about stopping mass killing.
“Sham” Chakrabarty, if you please.
May be wise to redact reference 29 which relates to the redacted text, possibly 30 too.
According to page 5 of the report the map of the UK with PAG targets they have no targets in Wales.
I feel so much better knowing we have no factories in Wales making military equipment that might be used in Israel.
Or I would if I thought it was true but I know it is not true.
“The Welsh government said the defence industry spent almost £1bn in Wales every year.
There are about 285 Welsh defence companies, mostly in the supply chain, while eight of the world’s largest defence companies have a presence in Wales.” There is the infamous Ajax armoured vehicle, built in Merthyr Tydfil but maybe it would shake things up if they did supply that to Israel.
Indeed Elbit has a factory on Anglesey and protesters were jailed for damaging equipment such as computers. Likewise the MoD site, which closes Cardigan Bay to fishing for days at a time, was bought outright for £30,000 and produces mainly drone weapons but also some very loud ordnance, which it practices in the bay. These are Israeli owned companies. I only hope that our government has full access to all these lubberly weapons if it should ever need to defend itself and us against a hostile invasion or takeover.
The ostensibly British companies producing weapons in East Wales have also contributed heavily to the Israel payload
The fact that the EU/Israel associate trade agreement has a human rights clause as its centre piece ignored by the EU and the UK now, is instructive here, TPTB have no intention of holding Israel to account over anything it does. What a world. By the way Alyson I apologize to you for supplying that Flash Gordon series, I know you have not slept since, the problem is, every episode finishes with Flash in danger, you have to watch the next episode etc.
I prefer Captain Proton.
Haha! Saved for later, Harry – no problem! We also used to watch the early Batman series ‘C’mon Robin, it’s time to change into our Batman outfits’ (jumps out of swish sports car and runs behind a clump of thorn bushes…)
Well, where are our super heroes now?
One is on this page, very definitely, for courage, integrity, and knowing right from wrong.
In Craig we trust…
Well Craig THAT was certainly worth my tiny monthly contribution to your cause. This is just brilliant investigative journalism and nails the British Cabinet – and especially Yvette Cooper – for the corrupt, lying gang it clearly is. It beggars belief that our leaders can allow themselves to be so totally bought by a foreign power especially one engaged in an obvious genocide. One might have expected this kind of venal behaviour from the Tories but from the ‘caring’ socialists? Never. What a bunch of disgraceful shits, all of them.
Well done!
Nicely done. I doubt that Cooper is doing this for a bribe, I think it’s simpler than that, I think that she’s a dirty little money grubber and is only following orders. The British state is a wholly-owned subsidiary of US empire inc. and using the zionist antisemites as Brownshirt boot boys is US imperial policy. The quid pro quo is a free hand in Palestine.
Craig, regarding your list of four spurious and unsourced claims about PA, at the top of your article, which Cooper and co have been regurgitating almost daily – I believe the source of these unfounded claims is from another Israeli Embassy connected outfit called We Believe in Israel. You can read their disingenuous screed here:
https://www.webelieveinisrael.org.uk/time_to_proscribe_palestine_action
You will see how their lurid descriptions of PA match the spurious Cooper claims very closely (particularly the claims about ‘Iran funding’ – no evidence – and the ‘Jewish-owned’ businesses smear – again no evidence that this motivated the attack, which was for participation in the genocide), and it is they, as far as I can tell, who started this whole bandwagon about proscribing PA, based on ‘evidence’ which is flimsy, misleading and downright false, as you can see. For Cooper to regurgitate such unevidenced tripe from a lobby group who do not declare their funding and have no registered address or contact details is surely a serious mistake, to put it generously, if not downright corrupt, given the funding she has received from another Lobbyist.
So how did they get this access to Cooper? Well, having a look we find that its previous director was none other than the notorious Luke Akehurst, star of the Al Jazeera lobby documentary, lauded by various Israel embassy staff as ““one of the best in the inside” of the Labour party” and “outrageously pro-Zionist”. He was parachuted by Starmer into the safe seat of North Durham for the last UK general election, despite living 250 miles away with no known connection to the area. He was mysteriously promoted on to Labour’s NEC which had the power to pick candidates, so he promptly got rid of Fazia Shaheen for having ‘liked’ some social media posts – one of the posts described how “professional organisations” mobilise pressure on people who are “even mildly critical of Israel”. Fazia was an outstanding candidate for Chingford, a well-liked local woman who had a PhD in Housing research – previously admired by Starmer as a potential great asset to Labour and its future social policies. The result of this sacking was, incredibly, the re-election of skinhead and loathsome Tory Ian Duncan Smith (great work, Luke!), when Fazia had been well ahead in the polls. No doubt the replacement candidate was an anonymous stool pigeon with no track record in anything, except undying loyalty. With that track record, therefore, we can only speculate on Akehurst’s subsequent influence on this garbled set of excuses from Cooper and his, and his colleague’s, access to the decision-making process.
Since being elected, he has resigned from WBII and his replacement is the deeply odd Israeli activist Catherine Perez-Shakdam, who has a very colourful past supposedly going ‘undercover’ in Iran – what for, you may well ask, and on whose behalf. She is also a former member of the notorious Henry Jackson Society, whose alumni include the likes of Douglas Murray, Raheem Kassam and Michael Gove. The HJS believes that “only modern liberal democratic states are truly legitimate” – a wonderful ellipsis of neocon ‘might is right’ thinking. Their former co-founder, Matthew Jamison, wrote in 2017 that he was ashamed of his involvement, having never imagined the Henry Jackson Society “would become a far-right, deeply anti-Muslim racist … propaganda outfit to smear other cultures, religions and ethnic groups”. He claimed that “The HJS for many years has relentlessly demonised Muslims and Islam” In 2014 the HJS resigned from the all parliamentary groups they had formed, rather than disclose their funding, as the rules required.
So this is the background of the kind of people who are granted privileged acce ss to the likes of Cooper, whose obviously highly biased and unsourced ‘reports’ appear to be taken as the basis for draconian policies such as proscription. And they are only part of the nexus of Israeli embassy (and no doubt Tufton St) related groups and individuals, well-funded, largely anonymous and unaccountable to UK citizens. No count they’ll be on the next Question Time/Newsnight/Politics Live too.
Time, as you say, to let some more daylight in on who these people are and what their backgrounds are, who have a wholly unjustified, undemocratic influence on the laws of this country. (WBII current campaigns – get ‘anti-zionist’ artists banned from Spotify, and make ‘misuse’ of the Star of David symbol a hate crime. . However Kneecap are still there!)
Thank you for your thorough and important analysis. Starmer’s Labour Party are only interested in scumbags and charlatans. The handful of decent MPs still in the party need to take stock of where they are and who they are working/colluding with. We have had Boris ‘the liar’ Johnson who told barefaced lies at the despatch box without any real accountability. His Cabinet were only too delighted to follow his lead. We now have another bunch of liars in charge. Truth, Justice and Accountability are all on the back burner. Cooper fiddled her expenses, along with her husband Ed Balls, during the heyday of expenses manipulation in the early 2000’s. They milked the system for all its worth. Now they expect us to respect them, touch our forelocks and grovel. Well sod that.
Some additional material on the role of WBII, from a good thread by North Herts PSC, including a tweet of theirs where they take credit for the proscription, should there be any doubt. Also emphasises the rubber stamping of the ban by MP’s who were unable to access any evidence for the most serious allegations, and were dragooned into believing that they must take the security force’s word for them:
https://x.com/NHertsPsc/status/1955568762100572380
Peter Hain is one of the few pointing out the emperor has no clothes and how stupid, and damaging, the ban is:
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/aug/13/peter-hain-says-uk-government-digging-itself-into-hole-over-palestine-action
He said if a legal challenge to the proscription was successful, it “would be a mercy to all concerned, including the government”.
I recall an article somewhere (?) on ‘Catherine Perez-Shakdam’ that came to the conclusion that she was possibly Mossad.
This may be the article.
https://www.mintpressnews.com/catherine-shakdam-israeli-spy-infiltrated-mintpress-news/282889/
Thanks for posting – kind of exposes Cooper’s bluff, if she’s relying on this & the existing claims of ‘connection-in-terrorism’ as her secret weapon. Neither carry the legal gonads to warrant proscription – a fog of polemical accusation, unsupported insinuation and contentious allusion (what’s new?), claiming “to protect public order, national security, and community cohesion …” The WBII are now full of it, mind – this is worth a howl: https://x.com/WeBelieveIsrael/status/1936535851120447528
On the other hand, maybe Yvette could consider proscribing these guys (‘We Believe in Genocide’?) – use of action to influence a government … endangers life/creates a serious risk to (a section of) the public … including of a country other than the United Kingdom … for the purpose of advancing a political cause … ? It’s all in the manifesto (company number at CoHo: 14087976).
If someone were to kidnap someone from Elbit, the FCO, the Home Office, ZOG, or anyone else in Britain with direct undeniable involvement in assisting with genocide, interrogate them for a day or two, film them, then release them with a cheese sandwich and a bottle of water (because it’s so hot), that would be … well I never … what a dreadful thought, how terrible a development this would be for liberal opinion, especially in the leafier parts of North London…
It’s got to the point where something needs to be done. Something which everyone is able to get involved in. It seems to me that hitting them where it hurts (i.e. in their pockets) is the way forward. If Craig happens to read this, I’d like to hear his views on organising and participating in a campaign to encourage and support mass non-payment of the council tax.
” Trust me, Clara Vere de Vere,
From yon blue heavens above us bent,
The Gardener Adam and his Wife¨
Smile upon the claims of long descent.
How’ere it be, it seems to me
’tis more noble to be good.
Kind hearts are more then coronets,
Simple faith than Norman blood.”
Tennyson
What is really concerning is that the zombie government believes that no one is watching whilst the arms trade between the English establishment and Israel grows. Our police use Israeli surveillance technology, Israeli targeting analytics whilst our military invests millions in Israeli (Elbit) Drones and 19 Israeli companies opened or increased their footprint in the UK in 23-24. Meanwhile Kennard has dished the dirt on the surveillance flights over Gaza (we now know where they go and can be pretty certain what they do) and Declassified has uncovered all the senior level training programmes for the IDF’s “talent”. The zombies in Parliament have obviously done everything they’ve been asked by Israel to do and at an individual level, they’re bought and paid for. They listen to everyone who supports the genocide and attempt to silence … even outlaw the slightest justified criticism … let alone direct action.
We can rightfully be ashamed of this parliament, we can justifiably be fearful of this “government” because it is criminal. I used the term kakistocracy to describe the Tories (government by the worst in society). I can hardly believe that I was wrong and things have become so obviously worse.
Anyone else notice that they reference the ADL for proof. This is a strongly zionist organisation that claims that anti-zionists are anti-jewish racists so hardly a sound source of material. Looking further https://www.adl.org/about/who-we-are/board-of-directors we see Tony Blair as a special advisor; A man famed for bullshit intelligence claims about Iraqi WMD. Perhaps he thinks that PAG are hiding the Iraqi WMD?
Yes, the corrupt half wit Cooper is the tool but the driver is definitely Israel. No surprise as we live under a ZOG.
Palestine Action is described as not an entity but a network of cells which might or might not communicate with other cells. Such a cellular structure makes it vulnerable to infiltration by secret services, Zionists and the rest, Trojan horsemanship and counterfeits .
After reading Brian Red’s study of the manual I became very suspicious of its authenticity – it seems too obvious and simplistic to have credibility and wondered how many naive would be activist cells have fallen into some sort of trap set by it? Looking at the references the evidence base for the report also seems flaky – much reliance on BBC and mainstream reporting.
An autonomous cell structure is actually better for combating infiltration.
It might be for some cells but the potential for masquerade is also huge.
British foreign minister David Lammy had his photo taken “fishing” at Chevening (or at least holding a fishing rod) with Peter Thiel’s eyeliner-wearing stooge J D Vance, the US vice president. But he didn’t have a rod licence, so now he is referring himself to the British regime’s Environment Agency. What shitclowns in this country are. Clue: when you do something in front of millions of people, prepare it properly.
Also it might be better optics for a British minister inviting a foreign country’s minister to his house to be photographed doing something “British”, rather than looking like a cross between a Thoreau impersonator and a man in a Marlboro advert.

Trump and Vance just swinging by to keep the Limeys on their toes.
Of course, Israel are the US’s unofficial installed State in the Region.
Branches everywhere.
But, the main players in all this chaos and destruction have to be kept sweet.
Israel couldn’t operate without the support of the US and Europe would be naked
before the Invading Russian Hordes ( in their fevered minds ) if not for US Security Guarantees.
Trump has changed the small print on those guarantees so, what The Europeans
have to do is to stick out the indignity of impotence until, hopefully a Democrat gets back in Power and restores something similar to the old order.
Centrists are just as nostalgic for the past as the Right and in a rapidly changing world it causes them great distress and confusion.
Dialectics was never taught to them at the Posh Schools and the Universities they went to.
Strangely enough, Goldman Sachs never taught them dialectics neither.
If you think nothing should ever change then, your aim will be to change nothing.
Reality is teaching them a harsh lesson which is also a lesson that the Right and Far Right will experience too.
Possibly by one of the dialectics related to Mussolini and Lamposts.

@Mark – What’s your take on the Alaska summit?
I’ve read a little of the Russian reporting about what will hopefully soon be the end of the Russo-Ukrainian war. Things they’re talking about include the following two.
1. What kind of regime they want in Ukraine after the war, once the government in Kiev is no longer involved militarily in the six territories.
Presumably the USA and Russia are discussing that topic now, and also it seems possible that Russian mining concessions in Alaska are on the table. So that’s probably the potential deal between USA and Russia: US business getting a big slice of the action in Ukraine, and Russian mining companies getting a slice of the action in Alaska.
By “Ukraine” I do not mean any of the six Russian territories. The USA might possibly be offered a little bit of action in some of those, and such a “success” would doubtless be bigged up in the western media, because the USA must always be sold as “strong”. But I doubt it would be much to write home about. If Russia can mine for minerals in Alaska, FFS, they can do the same thing fine in the Donbas and Zaporozhye without USA help, thank you very much.
The idea that Kiev will conceivably get Kherson and Zaporozhye in return for being so kind as to desist from pressing their claim on Crimea and Sevastopol for the time being is ludicrous.
So is the talk in the USA about a “West Bank” solution for the four territories, whereby Russia would operate like the Zionists’ “IDF” and the Kiev regime would function like the Palestinian Authority. That’s a blatant case of analysts taking the piss. But it’s quite interesting that such rubbish is being said, because it points up the fact that what will actually be talked about isn’t being addressed sensibly in the western media.
https://archive.is/Oz78B
It’s pretty obvious the USA’s running dogs in Europe have little or no say in any of this. Any “one phone call” from west to east across the Atlantic nowadays is likely to go to Ursula von der Leyen but even she with her background comports herself as if she’s far too big for her boots.
2. Russian media are also talking about Ukrainian attacks on the Zaporozhe nuclear plant that are going on right now, framing them as an effort by the Kiev regime to scupper the talks.
They may be right that someone is trying to do something at the nuclear plant. And it’s not likely to be something that’s very nice either.
In any case, Trump couldn’t make a “deal” for toffees, and I won’t be surprised if Putin hands the guy his arse before the coming weekend is over.
For those who are interested in such things, Lavrov is said to be accompanying Putin to Anchorage.
Dunno about Shoigu the shaman yet. There may well be some ritual sites on the base that interest him 😉

“Donald Trump will debrief Ukraine and EU after his meeting with Putin, says European Commission – Europe live”
⬆️ “Journalist” and editor at Guardian don’t know what the word “debrief” means.
Gotta wonder whether someone so ignorant of language would have got anywhere near writing for a major newspaper even 20 years ago. The job they’re doing could probably be replaced by a program running on about 64 kilobytes of RAM. It wouldn’t need “AI”.
Hard to imagine the journalist and editor managed to get grade C or above in English Language GCSE.
And you can’t blame the person from the EU commission, who only said “there will be a debrief”, which is perfectly correct English.
Zelensky is now in London. I’m getting the impression it may be trouser clips time in Paris, Berlin, London, and Kiev. They probably fear what that MF in the White House might do next.

What has been studiously avoided in all these wars/conflict/attack etc ( even on Palestine) is that all these attacks on Iran/Russia/Palestine/The Lebanon and I think even Yemen is that these are all capitalist States attacking fellow capitalist States.
In Trump’s and the neo Cons minds -as well as the MSM in total they are still fighting the Cold (Communist) Wars.
This I think is why they are failing so badly at prosecuting capitalism across the world.
The irony being ( and the Yanks don’t do irony) is that China does capitalism better than all of them combined.
They are Communists.
In Trump’s mind I suspect he instinctively knows he is dealing with capitalists and he genuinely can not see why Putin as a fellow capitalist would not come to a deal.
The problem for Trump as the most interesting ex diplomat in the current analysis sphere is that Trump may be President but he is not necessarily in charge – the Neo Cons are.
If I were Putin and Lavrov I would not go to Alaska and some will say this is a Conspiracy Theory but, being as Trump personally was publicly talking about taking out Ayatollah Khamenei and Neo-Cons who are downright wreckless in their speeches and their non diplomacy I would be very wary indeed of the visit.
The Ukranian leadership appear to be getting desperate – hence the threats to the Nuke Plants.
This is not unlike the Israeli threats to selectively nuke say Lebanon or even Iran and of course if the wind is blowing back towards Tel – Aviv or say Lviv then that is extremely dangerous to anyone in the vicinity.
The US has plenty of people they could use in an attack on Putin and Lavrov and MI5 and their paid terrorists would be in the frame too.
They should insist on meeting in Beijing – whether the yanks would like that I don’t know but, if you were genuinely for peace you would do it.
All the NATO actors aren’t for peace though.
This is where Trump meets his brick wall.
The Neo Cons are more interested in world hegemony not deals for money and political reasons -the money is a bonus.
In my view they will stop at nothing ( like The Zionists) in order to achieve their real goal.
That goal is not only financial domination but, also Military Global Hegemony.
The way it used to be.
China and Russia have to be advertised as dangerous militarily in the media and The West.
They both have a lot of Nukes – that is true.
China is much more of a threat economically and not Militarily – they do not have Warships wandering around the Coast of Florida or New York .
NATO in US terms has gone from The North Atlantic Treat Organisation to The South China Sea Organisation and the Europeans are going to contribute a lot to that effort as well as representing NATO in Europe.
I’m not sure that the Technocrats know what they have let their people in for but, the future of the EU and the UK will be shaken up enormously by this decision to follow the US come what may.
I can only say this in my opinion:
Like the rain -the world will not leave you alone.
Yes – you can hide temporarily out of the rain but, the rain will still keep falling.
The electorates in Social Democracy are already dis- illusioned and despise Centrism ( read pro USA no matter what) and there is no doubt they will try the Right.
The argument from the media types is that the people don’t like extremes – meaning anyone but the left and they will veer to the Right and end up becoming Protectionist.
This is actually a problem for Mother Russian Nationalism too.
It is the US’s role to not jus smash the BRICS and split China from Russia – its greatest aim is to defeat China.
Defeat China and America really will be relatively great again.
Putin and Lavrov are not fools so, if I know that, I think they know that.
As usual we shall see what happens and I hope there are no devious shenanigans.
The thing is the US form as long as your arm for false flags as they call them and this meeting is no different.
As I say above: we have to remember that Trump may be sincere – his NEO – Con hawks are not and will (like the Israelis again ) stop at nothing if something/someone(s) get in their way.
Even WW3 – in Europe first and if it all goes wrong, they will sit at the negotiating table with Russia and China and sort something out to make sure Dear Old USA isn’t blown away in the same manner.
The US like Israel, likes hurting but, they don’t like being hurt.
Always playing away from home the US but, nukes can be sent their way if it all gets out of hand.
Perhaps Lindsey Graham hasn’t thought of that because he thinks no-one would dare.
They will if they have no-where else to go in a trap.

Missed this out.
Trump isn’t a diplomat of any renown but three analysts are
well worth listening to in my view: Alistair Crooke – Ben Cohen and Brian Berletic
on Youtube.
Lammy’s referring himself over some bollocks to give the British media an opportunity to portray him as a man of considerable integrity.
How many British journalists have responded by saying this scumbag should instead be referring himself to the Hague for abetting genocide.
Agreed. But Lammy looks like an idiot over this – a real gibbering one – as he also did with the Thoreau-Marlboro photos before he referred himself to the authorities for not having bought a rod licence. It’s hard to believe the FCO missed this beforehand. He doesn’t look like a man of integrity, or even like someone who was trying to avoid paying £7.30 – he just looks like a fool.
Do you not believe Lammy is complicit in an ongoing genocide?

She and they have spent so many hours with Tzipi Hotoveley and co., that the lying and slandering has clearly rubbed off beyond their usual lies…
Thanks for this, Craig – important work. A couple of things maybe worth commenting on:
1. At the permissions hearing, Blinne picked out the circularity in citing as ‘promotion of terrorism’ (para. 32) the alleged ‘celebration’ of the Filton action that’s yet to establish any connection-in-terrorism (Para.22). Indicative of the shoddy construction of the entire manoeuvre …
2. Statutory proscription requires the Home Secretary to carry out a two-stage procedure, namely:
i/ that s/he believes an organisation is *presently* connected-in-terrorism at the date of the decision; and
ii/ given that belief is reasonably held, s/he then exercises discretion as to whether or not to proscribe.
The discretionary content in the JTAC advice reads bereft of terroristic content to me, though Yvette Cooper conventionally will get to call the shots in (ii). As for (i), she’s surely on dodgier terrain – there’s also (a) the question of whether the degree of property damage is serious enough for ‘terrorism’ and (b) committed for a proscription-worthy aim, where intention is required to enter into and be considered in the legal framework – otherwise there can be no terrorism connection in law.
FFS! Get this! The “Palestine Action Underground Manual” advocates that you strip the Exif data (time, camera make, location, etc.) from your photos before you send them to the central email address, not by using your own equipment but through a website called verexif.com
verexif.com is hosted on a server in the Milan area in Italy.
Their mail is handled by Google.
Now who would want to run a website that provides a free service for all comers, a free service that just happens to involve you sending your images WITH all the exif data to their server?
Before answering that question, bear in mind that you can strip Exif data without going online, from within bog-standard Windows. Right-click on a jpg, go Properties | Details | Remove properties and personal information. I’m not saying that’s safe. It’s not comprehensive either, and probably doesn’t remove all the Exif data. It very probably leaves some that Verexif.com doesn’t. But it’s not quite as bad as sending stuff to unknown strangers on the internet so that they can do it for you, just as they devote their resources, unpaid, to doing it for anyone else who asks.
You can also run Exiftool offline, on your own equipment. That will do a much better job.
Who would want to gather all that juicy data?
No wonder PA have so many people in jail. If you’re in PA and you’re reading this, I’d urge you to think very hard about who in the organisation has been putting out this f***ing shitty suicidal security advice, sold as being for really cool internet kids.

From October 2024:

“ROME — A massive hacking scandal that has engulfed Italy is now threatening to spill beyond its borders, sucking in Israel, the Vatican, the United Kingdom and Lithuania.
New claims have been made via police wiretaps that foreign powers were among those using a Milan-based private investigative firm to penetrate state security databases with the aim of obtaining secret information about financial activity, private bank transactions and police investigations.
Italian intelligence firm Equalize, which allegedly hacked information on thousands of people including politicians, entrepreneurs, athletes and even musicians, is accused of working for Israeli intelligence and the Vatican, police wiretaps leaked to Italian media show.”

A security technique that might be useful sometimes. Go into Google and click “AI Mode”, then insert the following in the search field:
What are the signs of being “X” in the following text: “Y” ?
X can be fraud, agent provocateur etc.
Y can be any text you have misgivings about, even if you can’t pin the reasons down.
AI is by no means infallible, of course, but the results may be helpful.
For amusement I just applied the test to my own message (What are the signs of deception in the following text: ” “) and got the following result:
There are a few potential indicators of less reliable or possibly misleading information
Vague and General Instructions: The text provides instructions like “Go into Google and click ‘AI Mode'”, and “insert the following in the search field,” but there isn’t a universally recognized “AI Mode” in Google, making the instructions unclear or potentially inaccurate.
Ambiguous Claims about “X”: The suggestion to search for signs of being “X” where “X can be fraud, agent provocateur etc.” introduces potentially loaded terms without defining their precise meaning in this context or outlining how the AI is supposed to interpret or detect these concepts, according to liedetector.co.uk.
Lack of Specific Examples or Justification: While the text provides a hypothetical example of searching for “signs of being ‘X'”, it does not include concrete examples of the kind of text that might trigger “misgivings” or specific ways the AI’s results could be “helpful”.
Implicit Appeal to Authority Without Substantiation: While it mentions that “AI is by no means infallible”, the overall tone might implicitly encourage reliance on the suggested technique without providing concrete justification for its effectiveness or outlining the specific types of analysis the AI would be performing to identify these “signs”.
Lack of Context or Limitations: The provided text lacks context regarding the scenarios or situations where this technique would be most appropriate or limitations of the approach, such as potential biases in the AI’s analysis, according to the University of Saskatchewan.
It’s crucial to remember that no single indicator definitively proves deception or unreliability. However, the combination of vague instructions, ambiguous claims, lack of specific examples, and limited context suggests that this technique may not be a foolproof method for detecting deception. Evaluating information requires a critical mindset and the use of multiple reliable sources and techniques to determine trustworthiness and accuracy, says Turnitin.
Make of that what you will!

The advice “Don’t ever use Chrome or browsers that are based on it such as Edge” would probably keep many good people out of prison.
All good fun, but the reality is that there is no real security if you use the Internet. People have to come to terms with that basic fact. Yes, use strong encryption but understand if TPTB demand access you either comply, and go to jail, or you don’t comply, and go to jail. Common sense, trust and honesty are our only defences.
This latest facial recognition systems they’re rolling out, combined with how they track/monitor mobile phones, if fully integrated into a national system, could well result in a truly dystopian ‘locate anyone, anywhere’ in real-time system, like those seen in China and South Korea.
UK Police to Gain Access to 50 Million Driving License Photos for Facial Recognition
https://londondaily.com/uk-police-to-gain-access-to-50-million-driving-license-photos-for-facial-recognition
These systems don’t just track/identify one individual face; they can scan hundreds simultaneously- innocent people not suspected of any crime, passing through designated areas. Identifying and then building databases on everyone’s movements, whereabouts, that could in turn, be used at a future date, really quite sinister and given people value freedom, misanthropic. Needless to say, our human rights legislation hasn’t kept pace with technology. Parliamentarians seem to have totally given up on meaningful political debate too. preferring a kind of ‘one party’ totalitarianism consensus with conformity being all that matters. Criticisms of China not being a democracy, when our so-called democracy offers little in terms of debate and party differentiation, increasingly ring hollow coming from western political elites.
Most of us voluntarily carry around an electronic tag that enables us to be identified and geolocated at all times. So, maybe a case of horse and stable door, don’t you think ?
Thank you Craig Murray. You have done a service to democracy by publishing this. On reading the JTAC report I am convinced that Palestine Action is not a terrorist organisation and does not behave like one. Its aims are to damage the property of organisations it sees as complicit in war crimes and genocide. That’s civil disobedience not terrorism. BUT its founder is quoted as glorifying the terrorist actions of Hamas on October 7 and asking for more. Is that quote inaccurate? If it is accurate that is surely incitement to terrorism by the founder?
Are you aware of the words and actions of the government that has framed Palestine Action as terrorists?
https://www.declassifieduk.org/70-questions-the-uk-government-must-answer-about-gaza/
Hamas committed no terrorism, it fought back against it; the zionist antisemite Einsatzgruppen massacred hundreds of zionist civilians.
the IRA Active Service Units in Northern Ireland had, from the late seventies, in order to improve security and operational capacity ASUs which were smaller, tight-knit cells, usually consisting of five to eight members, for carrying out armed attacks. The ASU’s weapons were controlled by a quartermaster under the direct control of the IRA leadership. These ASU’s did not know the last names or addresses of their comrades, so that anyone caught could not implicate another colleague who usually came from another district. Palestine Action wanted members to sign in thereby making the organization easy to penetrate by undercover police action and a convenient tool for surveillance of that individual and group, as used by the security services in the past.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oluf_Reed-Olsen
It rather reminds me of the memoir of Oluf Reed-Olsen, a Norwegian resistance man on how naive they were at the beginning. One bloke went underground after a tip-off by pitching a tent on a mountain ledge outside Olso, in full view of the people in the city. They got better.

There again … ‘The Purloined Letter’, Edgar Allan Poe.
I wondered about the apparent naivete of PA, accepting anyone who would sign on the dotted line without any proper vetting. But it’s what we would expect from a protest group, or even idealists that go for ‘direct action’ like Extinction Rebellion, but who are not terrorists that aim to harm individuals. Possibly this un-terrorist naivete may form part of the case for the defense, when people are in court.
Would it not be more helpful if you told us when she is telling the truth?
Israel’s Genocide in Palestine is not unique, it is a policy practiced in other colonial situations, this article in Consortium news illustrates how the Colonialists used starvation as a weapon to force the indigenous people off the land to be replaced by Colonizers. Buffalo Bill and Kit Carson were praised as heroes, in fact millions of annuals were produced in the UK recalling their exploits. Buffalo Bill was responsible for slaughtering millions of Buffalo, ostensibly to feed the Chinese labour building rail track westward, a twofer if you will. The US colonial drive across the great plains was called ‘Manifest destiny’ the will of God.
The Israeli expansion is also described by many Zionists as the will of God.
The US colonizers backed by the US cavalry succeeded in their mission. The only force to stop the Zionist victory is the ‘arc of resistance’ led by Iran, the West realize this and are now busy trying to disarm Hezbollah while creating a civil war situation in Lebanon and at the same time supporting the head chopping Jihadis in Syria. The Arab satraps in the Arab league are stooges for US Hegemony, if they resist they know they can be replaced. As Col Muammar Gaddafi said at a previous Arab league meeting in Damascus I paraphrase “the US came to Iraq and hung its leadership, what makes you think that the assembled leaders here will not share the same fate? The camera panning across the room caught them all laughing at Gaddafi including Bashar al-Assad. They know he was correct, they also calculate that their positions are dependent on kowtowing to the west without alienating the ‘Arab street’. Below is a section from the excellent Consortium article…
“In 1791, President George Washington ordered Secretary of War Henry Knox to destroy farms and livestock of the Wea Tribe that lived along the Ohio River valley – a fertile area with a long history of growing corn, beans, squash and other fruits and vegetables.
Knox burned down their “corn fields, uprooted vegetable gardens, chopped down apple orchards, reduced every house to ash, [and] killed the Indians who attempted to escape,” historian Susan Sleeper-Smith noted in her 2018 book, Indigenous Prosperity and American Conquest.
Seventy-two years later, General Kit Carson conducted a scorched-earth campaign to remove the Navajo from what is now Arizona and New Mexico. Similar to Knox, he destroyed their villages, crops and water supply, killed their livestock and chopped down over 4,000 peach trees.
The U.S. military forced over 10,000 Navajo to leave their homeland”.

Horrifying stuff. If the holocaust shouldn’t be forgotten, neither should this. .
The so called holocaust is one of the major factors that has allowed Israel to get away with genocide, which is why zionists roll it out at every opportunity. We’ll never be allowed to forget, meanwhile the Palestinians are being wiped off the face of the Earth, with help from the UK, never again, oh wait ….
