Letters to my grandchildren, no. 7. My dear Kaylee and Nathan:

When I was your age I too was living in Britain. It was the 1950s. Britain then was indisputably the second most important and second strongest nation in the world. It was thriving in many important recent technical developments at that time such as atomic energy and jet passenger aircraft, and had a massive manufacturing industry. Virtually everything we needed had “Made in England” marked on it.

But from about that time, the country slowly started to disintegrate. The motorcycle industry was the first to go. The Japanese Honda company turned up at the Isle of Man races in 1959 and failed dismally. How we laughed. But two years later they returned and swept the first five places in every category they entered. It was a warning shot. By 1970 the British motor cycle industry had been destroyed by Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki. And it just went on from there: the last microscopic vestige of a British owned car industry was sold off in 2019. So over the past 70 years — most of my lifetime — I have watched while Britain has tumbled down the ladder and is now among the weakest, most despised, most unhappy and most misgoverned nations in the world.

When I was your age, life for British people was getting better every year. Now, one in five people (14.3 million) live in poverty, and it’s been getting worse for 20 years. The richest 50 families own more than half of the population. The Joseph Rowntree
Charitable Trust says that UK income inequality is among the highest in the developed world. Day to day, change moves slowly, but looked at across a lifetime, great change is happening, and the world is being reborn. The time we live in will prove to be one of the great turning points in world history: nothing less than the close of 500 years of western domination of the rest of the world.

Let’s turn the clock back and consider past moments of great convulsive change. In 221 BCE Qin Shi Huang Di united China and set off over 2,000 years of history. In 146 BCE Rome defeated Carthage after a long war which set in on the path to creating the greatest empire then in the known western world. In 1492 Cristoforo Colombo (his real Italian birth name) commanded a fleet of three ships to sail westwards to India and “discovered” the Americas (you might think that the people living there at the time had already discovered it, but we’ll let that pass). In 1066 England suffered its last invasion, and development over the centuries brought it the biggest world empire ever known “on which the sun never set” by the 1800s: when I was your age, most of the world map was still coloured in red. So what exactly is happening today that I should put it in the context of past historic milestones? To begin that exploration I first have to reveal the identity of the world‘s current most powerful nation, which is of course the United States of America.

By 1900, Britain and Germany were competing for world leadership but the USA was already vying to join them. Over two world wars Germany was crushed and Britain was bankrupted (the WWII loan was not finally repaid to the USA until 2006). The USA bided its time, entered both wars eventually, and having experienced no internal fighting emerged physically unscathed in 1945, the undisputed world leading nation, and it set about reshaping the world to suit its own interests while claiming it was doing so in the name of freedom and democracy. As such there has been scarcely a year since when it has not been at war in some part of the world (in fact it is said that there have been only six years since its independence in 1783 that it has not been at war), and it has interfered with the governance of many countries which did not meet its criteria of cooperation (actually, submissiveness and self abasement) with the aid of the installation worldwide of some 800 military bases outside its own boundaries. Here is a list of attempted coups since 1945 up to 2014:

And here a map of such bases:

Slowly and by stealth, another nation began its climb from obscurity. It did so, paradoxically, with the aid of the USA. By the 1980s, the US billionaires who owned much of the USA’s still powerful industries were looking at how to increase their profits without necessarily raising prices. They hit on the plan of “offshoring”, that is to say to carry out labour intensive assembly work in a location where wages were low. It just so happened that this poverty–stricken country with a large population had just, in 1979, decided to completely change its direction, and to invite foreign investment to enable their country to modernise and improve the living standards of its people. That country was China.

The plan took off with leaps and bounds and in 45 years China had, in terms of purchasing power (currency real value), already overtaken the USA in terms of annual wealth. By the time of the Obama presidency (2009–2017) the US had begun to realise they had made a terrible mistake, and the Pivot to Asia, a determination to do anything necessary to stem China’s rise, followed, because instead of remaining a nation merely concerned with carrying out assembly work for its foreign overlords, China had realised that its next step had to be to complete the supply chains and carry out the manufacture from tail to top. The USA and much of Europe and the UK had been deindustrialising, while China had fully industrialised.

Note that the UK doesn’t figure in that diagram at all.

To give you some idea of the scale of China’s manufacturing capability, its biggest electric vehicle manufacturer BYD is currently building near Zhengzhou in Henan province a factory which will cover fifty square miles: that’s the size of San Francisco. In 2024 alone, one Chinese shipbuilder constructed more commercial vessels by tonnage than the entire U.S. shipbuilding industry has built since the end of World War II. And looking to the future, China is the top research nation in 57 out of 64 advanced technologies, according to a new study by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute.

And of course China has the capacity to deliver.

So the foreign policy of the USA had to be urgently reorientated. Too much effort was being put into casting Russia as the enemy: in 2014 it had started a war with Russia using Ukraine as the belligerent. Several attempts were made to bring peace and agreements (Minsk) were signed but were torn up by the US backed signatories who later admitted that they were only a ruse to give Ukraine time to rearm. Russia lost patience and in February 2022 began its “unprovoked” Special Military Operation in the Russian populated regions in eastern Ukraine, which had received ten years of war from Kiev in which an estimated 14,000 civilians had been killed. Peace talks were soon held in Istanbul and again seem to have made progress, but in May 2022 the British Prime minister Boris Johnson flew to Kiev and persuaded Ukraine to fight on. Hundreds of thousands of subsequent deaths and far more permanently injured can therefore be laid at Johnson’s door. But with Trump’s presidency, the desire to break up and inflict permanent damage on Russia has perhaps been cast aside somewhat in order to concentrate on the main enemy, which is now China. How has that affected the policy of the USA’s allies?

In 2013 Prime Minister Cameron promised that the UK would be China’s strongest advocate in the West based on a “dialogue of mutual respect and understanding.” In 2015, Cameron told Chinese TV that the U.K. would benefit from “investment into our infrastructure” from a closer relationship while China would have access to a then “leading member of the EU.” Also in 2015, Cameron hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping for a state visit which included a banquet in Xi’s honor, hosted by the late Queen Elizabeth II, and a two-night stay in Buckingham Palace. In 2018 Cameron had a private meeting and dinner with Xi in Beijing. In July 2020, Boris Johnson’s government announced that Huawei products would be removed entirely from the UK’s 5G networks by the end of 2027, leaving British telecoms companies with the logistical nightmare of replacing the technology. Thus began the current trend of Sinophobia in the UK, and in the west as a whole.

What had happened?

In January 2022, Liberal Democrat Vince Cable, who served as Business and Industry minister for five years in the coalition government led by David Cameron, said that the decision against the Chinese tech giant Huawei was taken “because the Americans told us we should do it.” And now we have arrived at an important truth about late 20th and early 21st century world affairs. You probably think that the UK is an independent nation. It is not and has openly not been so since 1956 when Egypt’s president Nasser nationalised the Suez Canal which crossed Egyptian territory. This Suez Crisis was provoked by an American and British decision not to finance construction of the Aswan High Dam as they had promised. Britain along with France and Israel prepared to invade Egypt and depose Nasser. Eisenhower, the US president warned that if they did so he would provoke a sterling crisis by selling off the UK government bonds it held. (Some years ago a new political party, the UK Independence Party was formed and I thought, that’s a good idea, independence from the USA would be good, but it was Europe they had in mind.)

Anyway to return to the topic, that invasion did not take place and since that date, the UK and several other English speaking countries have essentially in terms of their foreign policies been mere adjuncts of the USA. And while it is true that Harold Wilson kept the UK out of the Vietnam war, it has more than compensated for that show of disobedience since, acting as the USA’s attack dog carrying out acts the USA can disown, and other English speaking countries have followed suit. Australia has been forced to join AUKUS, a UK/US inspired threat to China, and to house a nuclear submarine base. Australia, whose main export customer and main import supplier is China! And Canada has been firmly put in its place being told by Trump that it should become a member state of the USA.

So the policy of western nations towards China has been reversed at the behest of the USA. The populations of these satrapy states are now told by their kowtowing governments and their servile press that China is a security threat, but how a country which has made no incursions into neighbouring states since a brief and justifiable one in 1979 has suddenly become a danger to world peace is never explained. Nevertheless an opinion poll in 2022 showed that 81% of the British public do not trust China, but all that proves is that incessant propaganda works and that democracy is wasted on an unintelligent, uneducated and ill-informed public. And what do the Chinese think of the UK in return? In a recent clip on YouTube a Chinese was heard to reply:

“I don’t think we think about it at all”.

So the USA will attempt to shed its more minor war efforts around the world to concentrate on the number one enemy. The USA has potentially much to gain from a beneficial relationship with China, but it cannot accept the inevitable situation of China being an equal, or what is worse, a superior. It has been doing everything it can to hamper or destroy China’s economy, but its economic war of tariffs and supply controls is already coming apart at the seams, and a recent spat between China and the USA has revealed how China now holds the reins. The most publicised aspect has been China’s dominant control of the supply of the so called Rare Earth elements which are essential in the manufacture of nuclear-powered submarines, Tomahawk missiles, radar systems, unmanned aerial vehicles and smart bombs, and car manufacture in the USA, Europe, Japan, India and South Korea. For military applications, samarium which can stand temperatures high enough to melt lead without losing its magnetic force is irreplaceable. The main American user of samarium is Lockheed Martin, which needs about 25 kilos of samarium magnets in each F-35 fighter jet. China mines 70%, processes 87%, refines 91% of the rare earth minerals and manufactures 94% of the subsequent magnets.

Similarly antimony, needed for battery manufacture. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that China produced around 60% of the world’s antimony supply in 2024. Furthermore, much of the antimony mined elsewhere is shipped to China for processing. Another critical material supply that China virtually controls is bismuth. Low temperature soldering paste is essential for printed circuit boards, thermal modules, and other crucial parts of the manufacturing process. That paste is made of tin and bismuth, and here is where all the bismuth in the world comes from: China at 13,000 tons, and the rest of the world, total, at under 3,000 tons. All the supply chains run through China and the richest companies on the planet are stuck if inspectors in China are opening boxes and jars to make sure there is no controlled material heading their way.

China became exasperated by the USA’s continuous trade restriction provocations and discrimination against Chinese students, and had placed severe export restrictions on crucial minerals. The Chinese Ministry Spokesperson has said that:

“China urges the US to follow the rules of the World Trade Organization and work together with China to promote the stable and sustainable growth of China-US economic and trade relations, based on the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation.”

So far this year, exports year on year of rare earth magnets to the USA have collapsed, down 93% from the previous year. The shortage of magnets is being strongly felt across advanced manufacturing sectors. So it can be seen that China has total control of the situation and will win any economic war. What follows, we will see. Numerous US military and political morons have clearly stated that a real war is inevitable, and so — even though informed sources have clearly pointed out that the USA cannot win such a war with China — it may begin sooner rather than later. So get your popcorn in.

So the world is now splitting into two opposing camps. On the USA side they have NATO in the west, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand in the east. India is hard to fathom. Oh, and the Philippines, my second home and lined up to be the next Ukraine, poor sods. On the China side they have the Rest of the World majority, which includes BRICS, a rapidly growing association of nations pledged to foster world peace and mutual assistance. And you, Nathan and Kaylee, are now on the wrong side of the borderline and of history.

A recent opinion poll shows that 86% of the world now takes a kindlier view of China than they do of the USA. This is a sharp increase in previous figures and is the result of world disgust with the USA’s role as the chief supporter and supplier of the state of Israel’s mass murder of Palestinians. Another poll showed that world support for Israel had fallen to 16%. That Israel is committing genocide is recognised by the world at large and many organisations, for example, Amnesty International:

Amnesty International has found sufficient basis to conclude that Israel committed, between 7 October 2023 and July 2024, prohibited acts under the Genocide Convention, namely killing, causing serious bodily or mental harm and deliberately inflicting on Palestinians in Gaza conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction in whole or in part. Amnesty International has also concluded that these acts were committed with the specific intent to destroy Palestinians in Gaza, as such, who form a substantial part of the Palestinian population, which constitutes a group protected under the Genocide Convention. ‘Accordingly, Amnesty International concludes that following 7 October 2023, Israel committed and is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

So what exactly is this state of Israel, allied to the West, and now regarded as the most evil on the planet?

Israel is the nation state of the Jews, adherents to Judaism, one of the three major world god-orientated religions. They claim to be their god’s chosen people, so setting themselves up above all others, whom they regard as inferiors. They derive this sentiment from their holy book which in 2 Chronicles 15.13 and Deuteronomy 17.2-5 gives Jews the right to kill non Jews, which they are undoubtedly using now to justify their genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza. Israel’s defence minister Yoav Gallant has labelled Palestinians living in Gaza as “human animals”: you can find a very lengthy and sickening discourse on the subject on Wikipedia here, if you can stomach it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_stereotypes_of_Palestinians_in_Israeli_discourse

They claim to be descended from earlier inhabitants of historic Palestine, giving them a god given right to return to it, but there is considerable doubt about that claim as over the centuries unrelated populations converted to their faith, and while modern DNA analysis confirms that while some Jewish males show origins not specifically in historic Palestine but in the broader Middle East, the mitochondrial DNA which can reach further back into the period of interest reveals a wide distribution in the women’s lines from Europe, Africa, and West Asia. But anyway, irrelevant: a connection to a territory from thousands of years ago hardly constitutes any contemporary rights. My DNA analyses suggest an early origin in Central Europe, but I don’t consider that they give me a claim on Polish citizenship.

So from that ancient and fanciful geographical attachment and until comparatively recently Jews had no territory of their own, living in ghettos in various countries in the world. Their attitude to their neighbours frequently led to friction and the local authorities would decide to expel them. Here is a possibly incomplete account of expulsions during the past thousand years (Wikipedia).

A movement known as Zionism came into being in the 19th century which aimed to secure territory for a national state, and ultimately in 1948 the United Nations under pressure from the USA and at the second attempt voted to steal an area of historic Palestine from its rightful population, ostensibly to create a home land for Jews while admitting that it would provide a western aircraft carrier in the resource rich Middle East. Over the next twenty years the Jews there illegally extended their control over the entire land. And now they have expressed a desire to rid it entirely of the native non-Jews.

We can understand Zionism as an extreme form of Judaism, just as there are extreme practitioners of Islam which similarly resort to acts of terrorism. One of history’s worst terrorist attacks prior to 9/11 was the 1946 bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem by Zionist terrorists dressed as Arabs which killed 91 people. Here is a list of some of the main acts of Zionist terrorism since 1947.

So Israeli terrorism did not begin in Gaza in 2023. The present horrific killing was presaged (mainly in Gaza) in 2014 when 2,314 Palestinians were killed and 17,125 injured. It is commemorated in this plaque in the Aida refugee camp at Bethlehem which names the children who died: from “A Taste of Palestine “ filmed in 2019.

Over the past month, Israeli forces have opened fire almost every day at aid seekers collecting food from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), the US/Israeli-backed food distribution organization. More than 549 people have been killed and over 4,000 wounded so far, during nineteen separate incidents.

So you can see that if international law meant anything, Zionists long ago would have been declared members of a proscribed terrorist organisation and would have been arrested. This would of course include their supporters, today such as the British Prime Minister “Sir” Keir Starmer and in fact almost all western politicians. Worth bearing in mind if you are ever accused of “supporting” Hamas, which as the legally elected government of Gaza, an occupied region, it has the right to defend itself whereas the occupier does not, and so you do have that right, if, as I say, international law still means anything.

Today the following countries deny entry to Israeli passport holders: Algeria, Bangladesh, Brunei, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Oman, Pakistan, Sudan and Yemen. Lebanon may additionally refuse entry to anyone with an Israeli stamp or visa in their passport. Kudos to all of them. Certain restrictions may apply in Bahrain, Indonesia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates. But many Israelis are multiple passport holders of course.

I would not want you think that all Jews agree with these policies, in fact there are many who oppose them and many courageously attend protests and demonstrations. For example: Gideon Levy, outstanding journalist on the Israel newspaper Haaretz; Norman Finkelstein, writer of the Holocaust Industry; Ilan Pappé, historian, political scientist, and former politician, professor with the College of Social Sciences and International Studies at the University of Exeter; and Gilad Atzmon, saxophonist, novelist, political activist, and alleged holocaust “denier”. And many, many unsung more. And organisations: the Jewish Voice for Peace in the USA, and Jewish Voice for Labour in Britain.

Many Jews have left Israel in the past few years so I guess it’s mainly the hard line Zionists which remain and which support the genocide, and it is these we must oppose. It’s not antisemitic to oppose Zionism or the state of Israel. Allegations of antisemitism are routinely used to deflect legitimate criticism and should be ignored. Or else, to turn it on its head, if Israel chooses to redefine antisemitism as criticism of Zionism or Israel, then to be called an antisemite has become an attribute.

But in any case, Jews are not semites, while Palestinians are, which makes a nonsense of the interminable tarring of “antisemitism” toward opponents of Israel. And not only are not all Jews Zionists, but not all Zionists are Jews.

So the actions of the evil state of Israel in carrying out mass murder of mainly women and children are now broadcast daily to your phones and cannot be denied, and accordingly the world has turned against it. That is to say, the people of the world have turned against it, but bizarrely the governments and mass media of those declining western countries, notably the USA, the UK and Germany have not, but have given their full support to an active genocide, and have used laws to harass, and worse, those who speak out about it. Currently the UK government is moving to ban the protest group Palestine Action as a “terrorist organisation”. What was their crime? Spray painting a UK fighter jet. Furthermore, Israel has free rein with western support to bomb its neighbouring countries – Lebanon, Iraq, Iran – and ludicrously call it “self-defence”. How on Earth can this be?

The answer to this question has been staring us in the face but people are afraid to speak of it for fear of being accused of antisemitism. But the walls are finally breaking down. On his MOATS television show on Sunday June 1 2025, which can be seen on vehicles such as Rumble and YouTube and is regularly watched now by two million viewers worldwide, former member of the British parliament George Galloway spelled it out. There are two reasons, he explained. They are money, and blackmail.

Money first. Many Jews are rich and many donate to organisations that support Israel. The most powerful is AIPAC in the USA, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. DeepSeek estimates that AIPAC financially supports ~70–80 out of the 100 senators and ~300+ out of 435 house members. One of the richest supporters was Sheldon Adelson, a Jew who made his money in casinos in Las Vegas and Macau. He is dead but his widow continues his work, giving Donald Trump $100,000,000 in his presidential candidacy to ensure his support for Israel.

However, all their money has failed to stop Muslim socialist Zohran Mamdani from just winning the highest vote total for any Democratic candidate in a mayoral primary since the 1973 runoff in heavily Jewish New York. Work that out!

A similar story in the UK with its political parties’ “Friends of” Israel. Here is a list of some 180 of Britain’s 650 MPs who in the last parliament accepted funding from pro-Israel lobby groups or individuals during their political career which includes half of Starmer’s cabinet, including Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, who is trying to stamp out protest in the UK..

At 6.30 am on August 10, 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell in New York City. He was awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy to traffic minors for sex. The grand jury indictment alleged that “dozens” of underage girls were brought into Epstein’s mansions for sexual encounters. He had previously pleaded guilty to a state charge of procuring for prostitution a girl below age 18 in 2009, and served a sentence then of almost 13 months. Epstein had been placed in the special housing unit, and the jail informed the Justice Department that he would have a cellmate, and that a guard would look into the cell every thirty minutes. These procedures were not followed on the night of his death. The coroner ruled death by suicide, but Michael Baden, an independent pathologist hired by the Epstein estate, said that Epstein had experienced a number of injuries — among them a broken bone in his neck — that “are extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation”. Baden stated that he thought that the evidence pointed to homicide rather than suicide.

Epstein had been a billionaire financier and close confidant of presidents, prime ministers, movie stars and British royalty, the mysterious self-made man who rose from blue-collar Brooklyn to the heights of luxury. But while he was flying around the world on his private jet and hosting lavish parties at his private island in the Caribbean, he also was secretly masterminding an international child sex ring. Jeffrey Epstein and his girl friend Ghislaine Maxwell were Israeli spies who used underage girls to blackmail politicians into giving unstinting support to Israel. Ghislaine’s late father Robert Maxwell had introduced Jeffrey to Mossad handlers before he died mysteriously in 1991 when he fell off his yacht. Robert, who was also a Mossad (Israeli) spy, told them to ‘accept’ Jeffrey. He and Ghislaine then lured prominent politicians and celebrities into sleeping with underage girls they provided, filmed them and blackmailed them. Several of his victims said his homes were wired with cameras and that he kept the footage in a safe. Both the FBI and New York authorities which raided his home are refusing to confirm whether or not such tapes exist.

Paedo island

The Epstein story has been deeply researched and featured in two books.

One Nation Under Blackmail volumes 1 and 2. Whitney Webb: a damning indictment of the consequences resulting from the nearly century old relationship between both US and Israeli intelligence and the organized criminal network known as the National Crime Syndicate. This book specifically explores how that nexus between intelligence and organised crime directly developed the sexual blackmail tactics and networks that would later enable the sexual blackmail operation and other crimes of deceased paedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. The extent to which Epstein’s activities were state-sponsored through an exploration of his intelligence connections is revealed. Whitney Webb was interviewed in the American media when the book was released, and death threats soon made it necessary for her to move her family out of the country.

Epstein: Dead men tell no tales. Dylan Howard. This book relates claims made by the alleged former Israeli spy Ari Ben-Menashe who says he worked for Mossad from 1977 to 1987 and was the handler of Ghislaine’s father Robert Maxwell, who was also an Israeli espionage agent and was the one who introduced his daughter and Epstein to Mossad.

Various claims have been made by Epstein’s victims that he boasted about his Mossad connections. A former girlfriend sued the late sex trafficker’s estate, claiming he boasted of being an agent before raping her at his New York mansion. The Californian woman, referred to as Jane Doe 200 in a new lawsuit, said she met Epstein through a friend in Los Angeles in 2000. The case was dropped on March 26 2025.

The story continues. There is a vast archive of material relating to the Epstein case locked away in the USA. Eventually a partial release was agreed in December 2023 but disappointingly it contained little new information. The archive is accessible at epsteindocs.info where the fact is displayed that two further releases are due but no date has yet been given, even though Trump had promised to release the documents if elected.

In February 2024, 12 women sued the FBI over alleged failure to protect them from Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse. The FBI’s “repeated and continued failures, delays and inaction” allowed Jeffrey Epstein to continue his sex trafficking operation for more than 20 years, they claimed in a lawsuit.

“For over two decades, the Federal Bureau of Investigation permitted Jeffrey Epstein to sex traffic and sexually abuse scores of children and young women by failing to do the job the American people expected of it and that the FBI’s own rules and regulations required: investigate the reports, tips, and evidence it had of rampant sexual abuse and sex trafficking by Epstein and protect the young women and children who fell victim to him.”

In September 2024 a group of eight women, possibly from the same group (they mostly filed as Jane Does) who were sexually abused and trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein filed a lawsuit against the Federal Government over the FBI’s failure to act on reports regarding Epstein’s crimes as early as 1996. There is no indication online of any progress with either suit.

Early in June 2025 Elon Musk in his spat with Trump claimed that the reason for the holdup was that Trump himself was implicated, but a few days later he walked the claim back.

As for the rest of the files then, we are still waiting. But it is plain from the above that the state of Israel holds many Western politicians in its grasp by a combination of bribery and blackmail, and they in turn control the “straight” news media. The case of the BBC with regard to current reporting on Gaza is particularly noteworthy for its obeisance to Israel. Many petitions have been signed and BBC staff themselves have anonymously expressed their disgust with the craven attitude of the management. Sometimes the below stairs Israeli interference in affairs of other countries leaks into the open as when senior Israeli diplomat, Shai Masot, was captured on video in 2017 conspiring to “take down” certain UK government ministers such as Sir Alan Duncan, who had spoken out against Israeli policy and sympathised with the plight of the Palestinians.

Two complaints were submitted to Ofcom about the series after it was aired, with one complainant accusing the series of that tired old trope of being “antisemitic”! But Ofcom dismissed the complaints and ruled that Al Jazeera was not in breach of any regulations. It stated the documentary “provided sufficient balance”.

Well, now I must sum up. It may seem that I have just taken a long diversion from the topic in hand to discuss Israel, but this is not so. While the USA is the undisguised hegemon, it and Israel are joined at the hip. In fact much of the time it is difficult to discern who is in charge. Much of the USA’s support of terrorism is carried out for Israel’s benefit. After the events of 11 September 2001, the USA vowed to attack and destroy seven of its near neighbouring countries in five years to establish Israeli supremacy in the Middle East, starting with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. They got a bit behind schedule, but it cannot escape your notice that having worked through the list, finally number seven was just put on the table for regime change. It is said that history does not repeat itself, but sometimes it rhymes. Iraq was destroyed for weapons of mass destruction that it did not possess, and now Iran has been bombed for nuclear weapons that the US and Israeli intelligence and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) agreed it does not possess.

No doubt your western media are announcing the 12 day war as a great triumph for Israel and the USA, but that is complete bullshit. Iran emerged as the victor and Israel and the USA cried off with their tails between their legs, and they’ll think twice about coming back: and Iran achieved it alone. Just note the following facts.

1. This was the first time in its history that Israel has been on the receiving end of an intensive bombing campaign, with around 11,000 buildings absolutely destroyed and many more damaged. Iran fought with one hand tied behind its back: if Israel tries again, it will be destroyed.. Many “Israelis” are fleeing on their multiple passports to the countries where they belong: the USA, Russia, eastern Europe.

2. Israel and the US were running out of missiles.

3. Iranian missiles cost less than $1 million and were mostly old and out of date versions. but the countering missiles cost $2 million each and each interception required two of them. Israel simply could not afford a long war.

4. Iran and Israel were trading blows tit for tat but Iran is 75 times the size of Israel with ten times the population, so the effects on it were proportionally far larger.

5. The thousands of buildings in Israel destroyed or badly damaged will cost millions of dollars to repair.

6. The underlying objective, as with the West’s war on Russia, that regime change could be induced in Iran, has proven just as fanciful, as the populace and various factions hitherto in opposition have similarly rallied around the government.

7. Iran has since decided to cut connections with the IAEA having substantial evidence that it betrayed confidential information to Israel, such as the identities and locations of nuclear scientists who were subsequently murdered along with their families and consequently many others living in the same buildings, so no more access and no more nuclear inspections for them.

8. Pressure will undoubtedly mount in Iran to arm with nuclear weapons, either of their own manufacture or by supply by a number of willing nations, the exact opposite outcome of the alleged reason for the war.

9. It is unlikely that the US bombing did any damage to Iran’s underground installations. Firstly they are situated far too deeply under mountains for the bombs to reach them: do you believe that a missile could penetrate 100 metres of solid rock? And undoubtedly their actual location is not immediately below visible surface buildings but at some horizontal distance in an unknown direction. So only surface damage would have been suffered.

10. The USA and Israel having committed gross illegal acts have lost most of what little sympathy that remained with them in the rest of the world. The USA’s action was condemned by the UN Secretary General and the following governments (reported data at rt.com): Cuba, Venezuela, Chile, Qatar, Oman, China, Russia, Iraq, Pakistan, Indonesia, Colombia, Brazil, India, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, United Arab Emirates and Ethiopia. Several other countries unwilling to speak against the USA uttered wishy washy calls for peace. I should add that a few US Democratic lawmakers have sharply criticized President Trump’s decision to strike Iran, with some calling the move illegal and grounds for impeachment. Large demonstrations have been held in London, Manila, Jakarta and Karachi. Actual expressed world support for the bombing appears to be limited to Keir Starmer and other assorted UK toadies, which proves how far up the US’s backside Britain is, and that it puts Israel’s interests ahead of those of its own people. As it is my country of birth and former residence I can only express my disgust, shame and apologies for its responses.

11. But the clinching factor came when Iran played its trump (!) card to threaten to close the strait of Hormuz to shipping. If they had done so, then almost a quarter of the world’s oil supply would have ceased with an astronomical rise in the price of oil demolishing much of the world’s economy, as supply of most or all produced by the following countries would have ceased immediately, bankrupting them in short order: Saudi Arabia, Iraq, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain. Take a look at the map. I don’t doubt for a minute that this was a principal reason that hostility ceased, and that the leaders of those satrapy states cried to the USA to stop it.

12. Trumps’s purported status as a dealmaker, a peacemaker, has been blown out of the water. While negotiating with Russia, sabotage of nuclear defence installations was carried out contrary to international law and actually an act of war, undoubtedly subcontracted to the UK’s MI6 or Israel’s Mossad, and while negotiating with Iran a carbon copy surprise attack was carried out on Iran’s infrastructure by Israel including their atomic energy installations (which, incidentally under treaty and international law they are perfectly entitled to operate), and the murder of senior Iranian scientists and officials. No country is going to negotiate with the USA again for a very long time.

So the Zionist influence on the west is central to the present world order and while largely concealed behind the scenes it is uppermost in directing the foreign policy of the unipolar system and its constant flow of regime changes and wars, and by now it should be clear that the governments of the US and the UK are, in effect, Zionist. So their every act has to pass through a filter: will this affect Israel? Western governments’ support for the Gaza genocide, then, is after all no mystery.

So we are now fully on course for the end game. Russia will soon take full control of Ukraine and contrary to the nonsense spouted by European nations, it has no interest in marching on Berlin and London unless they do something really stupid with their proposed lifting of military expenditure from 1% to 5%, as ordered by the USA. Israel having been neutered must be disarmed and neutralised and a free Palestinian state created. The people of the USA seem to be waking up to the truth about their nation and perhaps the tide will now turn there, and it may start to give priority to its own internal issues which are serious and getting worse: for example, one in eight people now receive food stamps. Then it’s game over. I began by quoting several important historical dates but did not offer one for the ultimate transfer of power from West to South. I wonder if this recent event will in years to come be regarded as a pivotal point which would mark it down as 2025.

So we must break from this current world rule by a single dominant nation, the USA, running rampant under Jewish influence for more than a century, towards multipolarity, in which nations of the world work together rejecting conflict in mutual interest for the benefit of all. The move is being led by China through BRICS, and its Belt and Road investment scheme. BRICS now consists centrally of eleven countries: Brasil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Iran; and since I began this letter, Vietnam has just joined. In 2024 the following countries became partner countries: Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand, Uganda, and Uzbekistan; BRICS accounts for around 40% of global GDP in terms of purchasing power parity — surpassing the combined economic weight of the West’s G7. Throughout 2024, over 30 further countries expressed interest in participating in the BRICS, either as members or partners. So that’s 50+ countries representing a majority of the world’s population.

The Belt and Road initiative (BRI) helps underdeveloped countries create infrastructure to move towards a better standard of living for their citizens, for example a current colossal proposal in South America, where having just opened a port to serve the Pacific in Peru it is working on linking it to the Atlantic coast in Brazil by rail which would render the Suez canal obsolete. Meanwhile the USA just demands more military spending and offers (for example, the Philippines) only military bases and subjugation, while BRI now stretches to investment in more than 150 countries and international organisations.

The move is unstoppable. The minority West now needs to abandon the hegemon and to join, or else be discarded into the dustbin of history. And Nathan and Kaylee, for your sakes I hope the UK comes soon to its senses, abandons current plans to rebuild its armaments industry, to increase expenditure not just to 2.5%, not 3.5%, but at least to 5% on rearming, as the Prime Minister says, to prepare for a war with Russia, in which it would be turned to glass in 15 minutes. But under international law, the UK’s involvement in attacks on Russia mean that it is already at war.

Nathan, are you ready to die for Finland?

Best wishes, with love,

Your grandfather.
