Thursday, 27 August 2026 — Michel Chossudovsky
Deploy them in Finland, Poland and Lithuania
[This article by Drago Bosnic was originally published by Global Research.NATO is no longer even bothering to hide that it wants to expand its nuclear footprint on the “old continent”. Namely, the most aggressive racketeering cartel in recorded history is sliding into an increasingly dangerous nuclear posture, with the shift being sold as “routine deterrence”. In reality, the change is a deliberate widening of escalation options aimed at upending Russia.

The government wants to turn off free access to TV channels
Monday 24 August 2026 — 38 Degrees
Unbelievable,
The Government is threatening to switch off Freeview – the free telly you get from an ordinary aerial. If they get their way, millions could be forced to pay for expensive broadband or lose their TV entirely. The move risks leaving older people, those in rural areas, and anyone feeling the pinch isolated and priced out of watching TV. [1]

Hakeem Jeffries and Jared Kushner Meeting Reveals Ugly Truths About U.S. Politics
Margaret Kimberley, BAR Executive Editor and Senior Columnist
If the Democratic Party prevails in the midterm elections, Hakeem Jeffries will become the Speaker of the House of Representatives. But his decision to meet with Jared Kushner was a textbook case of how politics really operate and shows why a victory will once again bring disappointment to voters. Democratic Party leadership work on behalf of the ruling class and against the interests of the people.

PEPE:Maximum Pressure Just BACKFIRED in Bessent’s Face.Iran Secretly Invited Into the MECC PACT
Monday, 24 August 2026 — Transition Protocol
Ten minutes before we went to air, sources inside the office of Iran’s Supreme Leader told us that Speaker Ghalibaf was discussing Pakistan’s invitation for Iran to become the fourth member of the Mecca Pact — hours before Field Marshal Asim Munir landed in Tehran. In this emergency Sunday broadcast, Pepe Escobar and Zulfiqar Ali break two source-based bombshells and then work through what Munir is actually carrying into Iran: the collapsed MOU, Scott Bessent’s economic pressure campaign, the terms of any return to talks, the Mecca Pact invitation itself, and Yemen.

UK: Hollywood actor seeks help from vicar for series
A Shropshire vicar played a key role in a new two-part BBC documentary featuring Welsh Hollywood actor Michael Sheen’s investigation into toxic waste dumps. The Rev Paul Cawthorne is also a long time environmental campaigner. He began looking into the history of the former landfill site at Stoney Hill, in Telford, where Monsanto is known to have legally dumped waste in the mid to late 1980s. “When I found out about the Monsanto chemical dumping at Stoney Hill, I next identified Sutton Walls in Herefordshire, then Cefn Mawr in north Wales,” he said. “I then went around south Wales valleys identifying historically documented sites which needed additional testing,” he added. Cawthorne said he has been on a 20 year mission to uncover the truth. He said that “dangerously elevated levels” of polychlorinated biphenyls – toxic man-made chemicals which don’t easily break down in nature – were found in nine out of 10 sites discussed in the Buried BBC radio series.

How Explaining Russia’s Motivations Became Taboo in the West
Friday, 21 August 2026 — Glenn Diesen
Prof. Glenn Diesen
Narrative control has seemingly rendered our societies incapable of distinguishing between ‘explanation’ and ‘justification’. There is overwhelming evidence that Russia has considered NATO expansionism to be the main security threat since the end of the Cold War, and that Russia has considered NATO’s incursion into Ukraine to be an existential threat. Yet, our political-media establishment smears and censors any explanation as “justification”. By doing so, they also criminalise any path toward a political settlement to end the war.

For many Americans, this change is intense, overwhelming, and confusing.

Ukraine’s Ultranationalist War On History
Thursday, 20 August 2026 — Global Delinquents
Over the past two decades, hardline Ukrainian ultranationalists have waged an ever-escalating war on history at home and abroad, with dramatic, world-changing consequences. In the country itself, a highly repressive legal apparatus is increasingly enforcing dangerously skewed narratives of Kiev’s near and distant past, with excessive criminal penalties even for those who unwittingly fall foul of the law. A brazenly politicised battle, it has become turbocharged since the Ukraine proxy conflict’s eruption. Despite widespread opposition, Kiev’s aggressive ultranationalist offensive on history is only intensifying.

The most important question of social systems is what creates order by managing competing interests? In international security, we must therefore ask the question: How do we manage the competing security interests of states?
