Here, for your readers:

Here, while it is still up on FuckYouTube, free (sic):

https://youtu.be/NgQ6nb0QPIs?si=468hcoYxjSS_XNUg

The BBC commissioned the documentary: The film, made by Basement Films, was intended to highlight the experiences of medics in Gaza.

Impartiality concerns: The BBC stated that broadcasting the material "risked creating a perception of partiality that would not meet the high standards that the public rightly expect of the BBC".

Previous incident and pause: Production of Doctors Under Attack was paused in April 2025 following a controversy surrounding another documentary, Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone, where the narrator was the child of a Hamas minister. The BBC initially said it would wait for the findings of a review into the earlier film before proceeding with Doctors Under Attack.

Transfer of ownership: The BBC ultimately transferred ownership of the film material to Basement Films.

Broadcast by Channel 4: Channel 4 acquired the documentary and broadcast it, with their Head of News and Current Affairs stating it offered "powerful evidence" about the experiences of doctors in Gaza.

Context and related information:

Allegations in the film: The documentary features firsthand accounts of alleged Israeli military attacks on hospitals and healthcare workers in Gaza, which some argue would constitute war crimes. The film also includes allegations of abuse and torture of Palestinian detainees, and accusations of complicity against Israeli medics.

Criticism of the BBC's decision: The BBC's decision has been criticized by various parties, including the documentary filmmakers, who felt the decision was politically motivated and hindered important journalism. Some BBC journalists also signed a letter calling the decision a "political decision" that didn't reflect the film's quality.

Channel 4's perspective: Channel 4 defended its decision to air the documentary, emphasizing the importance of telling stories people need to know, even if they are uncomfortable. They also stated they conducted rigorous editorial checks.

I’m afraid we are approaching the ‘end times’ the one world government will be some sort of hideous, demonic coalition of Jewish psychopaths. Most people are just too dumbed down and complacent to resist. Covid proved beyond a reasonable doubt that 80% of humanity are willing slaves and test subjects. I do despair

It's a Miracle.

It must be.

How else could these pretenders of being Gods chosen people above all others have the whole world at their feet as admitted losers and useless eaters.

I know the entire mechanism used to bring about this most unhappy time for all... but they.

The psycho/fear/emotional tricks played on simple unsophisticated folks by the millions. The twisting and debasement of all the good instincts gifted to every newborn, to produce aggressive inhumane ( to themselves as well ) automatons only seeking creature comforts and some kind of twisted fear/recognition of their peers.

These self loving uber neurotic A-Holes still haven't figured out that they are going down. The we are the people of the diaspora, and Israel ( greater Israel too ) is ours as it was given to us by God Bullshit.... is over.

Through corrupting mainly Europes power elite by the use of money, blackmail, their cunning females and other tricks of snaring their prey, they became the money masters of Europe's Banking establishments.

These people are neither Semitic norJews/Hebrews. They care about as much about realJews- Hebrews as they do the Palestinians. But until those who are or profess to be Hebrews denounce these pretend to be Hebrew converts to Judaism I treat them with the same contempt.

The tale that Israel is the most indispensable nation on earth rising above even the USA can only be floated by people totally blinded by their own aura and perceived perfection. Somebody please tell them that they they have wings made of wax. Come to think of it that has likely already happened but alas....

The US is of course the primary laboratory for Zionist experiments on the Amalek descendants of Caine, millions of them. This process has been going on since before King George V lost the colony. Big slave traders owning all the Auction houses and the Ships plying the seas for human trade. How do you suppose that never gets mentioned in American history books or teaching. Then getting the entire banking system of America under their control... The Fed. The Media, Entertainment ,Manufacturing, Pharmaceuticals, Energy and the list goes on. All that America does today every minute of every day in under Zionist control.

I no longer care about 911 or the middle East Wars, the missing two Trillion, its past history to me because I know what happened and who the players are.

There are some things that will catch my attention such as exactly how may people have left Israel, who they are and where are they going.

What are the American Zionists up to especially the Neocons, you know the ones who did so much for Israel and diddly squat for America.

Who is buying up land in the Ukraine, how many Gentiles are still being shipped out of the Ukraine.

And of course top of the line: The Average pay grade of every politician from the President of the USA on down to anyone having an elected function on the hill. I'm talking about the gigantic AIPAC slush fund of course, Israelly moolah... ever heard of that. Sure you have.

Hell will freeze over before that ever see's daylight.

The subject of infiltration is such an important and intriguing one. Does the name Catherine Shakdam ring a bell with anyone? A French-Jewish “convert” to Islam, it turns out she was one of those infiltrators who hightailed it out of Iran a few years back. And wouldn’t you know it, she was a guest on Dr. Barrett’s Truth Jihad Radio a number of times. Looking at her Wikipedia entry it appears she got in real tight with the highest circles of power including the late President Raisi. Would love to hear Kevin’s take on her now…Dr. Barrett, if you’re reading this….?

Was President Raisi assassinated by means of a staged helicopter crash?

Martin Thielmann's avatar

I’d argue yes. Too many anomalies/problems with the official story. Indeed, I would double down on my assertion in light of the recent developments with regard to Azerbaijan’s apparent involvement in the drone attacks on Iran from the northwest. Or to be more concise, those parts of the Azeri state that are tightly controlled by Israeli intelligence and influence. Btw., another great piece there Tony. Love how the essay flows from one paragraph/section to the next.

My friend Maisoon Rice is very outspoken about the Azeri role in the probable murder of Raisi and the strength of the Axeri-Israel relationship. I commented on Press TV the night the Iranian President died and I wouldn't go along with the prevailing interpretation explained by the host about concerning an aging helicopter, fog etc. Was Raisi's death the first shot along the way to decapitation of Hezbollah, the IRGC etc

I keep mulling over the idea of regime change as the solution to the Israel question. Why not? US and Israel so often refer to regime change as if it is theirs to order and implement or not. Who gave them that imperative? What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Why can't it work in reverse? How might we discuss regime change as applied to the USA? What about a UN built around national sovereignty for real.. not stuff like global taxation for carbon emissions, or transnational bankster sovereignty?

Concur 100 percent with what you laid out. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander indeed. And that just may happen if Israel and its US paymaster continue with their beyond-the-pale bloodlusting ways. I think we’ve already reached the point of peak insanity here in the collective West, and despite what gloom and doomers think about it never happening, the majority of the civilized rest of the world is increasingly not going to put up with more of the insanity/idiocracy practiced by the Hegemon and its vassals (US, Israel, NATO).

"the majority of the civilized rest of the world is increasingly not going to put up with more of the insanity/idiocracy..." When do we get to the critical mass? Then what are we going to do to actually change things when we've had it up to here?

Maybe western civilization will just have to truly crumble from within as the corruption, rot and decay of our societies builds up an inertia that is unstoppable. And other more civilized nations by their actions will push that process along. It’s above my paygrade to know when that tipping point comes or how we rebuild our societies, lol. But there are people way smarter than me who have put much thought into how to affect change for the better.

A wonderful essay Tony with many salient points ! What a mad twisted and psychopathic set of regimes exist in the world to promulgate such delusions as being 'gods chosen ones'. Only such psychopaths can rain hell and destruction, non stop, bribe, & blackmail....for decades...probably longer !

Rio Summit: BRICS in Retreat and the Urgent Need for Anti-Subimperialist Resistance

Posted by Internationalist 360° on July 3, 2025

Patrick Bond

Bottom-up critiques of both the Western and BRICS states and capitalists will only grow more profound and insistent, the more wisdom is gathered about imperialist assimilation of subimperial BRICS, which in turn have so far either co-opted or crushed (or mainly just ignored) their popular movements, and too often also crushed those resistance movements in quasi-colonized peripheral countries which BRICS corporates plunder, as Galeano reminds….There’s still time to learn – and avoid – these latest BRICS lessons of degenerating hype, hope and helplessness, and adopt a very different approach to anti-imperialist and anti-subimperialist resistance.

On Sunday-Monday, July 6-7, leaders from the BRICS countries will meet in Rio de Janeiro for their annual summit. Because Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva will also host the UN annual climate summit in December, the BRICS event was pushed relatively early. That means the bloc’s work schedule has been curtailed, even in a year for which much more robust preparation and greater consensus are needed to withstand U.S. imperialist aggression.

Vladimir Putin had hosted 2024’s summit in Kazan, Russia in late-October. In most other years, the dates have been in the busy September-November period, allowing many pre-meetings to set the stage for a more meaningful heads-of-state meeting.

BRICS is far more complicated now, with consensus difficult to reach in part due to the 2023 Johannesburg summit having expanded the bloc to ten member countries (assuming Saudi Arabia is counted, as does Lula, even though last December the Russians ‘froze‘ its participation), and to eleven with Indonesia early in 2025.

Damn, you got some SMith yammering how it would be interesting to see which animals survive nuclear war(s).

Crack Head, well, probably not.

BRICS is dead. Was dead. Dealing with Jews, Israel, well, that is the 51st fucking state of U$A, so real smart moves buying from Jews. China. India. Brazil. Russia. Iran. Et al.
