Ithaka the Movie

Ithaka wins #Audience #Award and #Best #Documentary

'The campaign to free #JulianAssange takes on #intimate #dimensions in this documentary portrait of an elderly man’s fight to save his son. Arguably the world’s most famous #political #prisoner, #WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is a figure pretty much everybody has an opinion about; perhaps more importantly, he serves as the emblem of an #international arm wrestle over #freedom of #journalism, #government #corruption and #unpunished #war-crimes. For his #family members who face the prospect of losing him forever to the #abyss of the #US #justice #system, however, this #David-and-Goliath struggle is #personal – and, with his #health declining in a #British #maximum-security #prison and #American government #prosecutors pulling out all the stops to #extradite him, the #clock-is-ticking.'

Russian Missiles Hit #British Operations Center in #Ukraine

The Russian Army has struck the base of the Ukrainian Navy in Ochachiv, a city in the Nikolaev Region, with missiles. This particular strike took out the Communications Center and Intelligence Department of the British Naval Operations Service.

We are told by sources in Ukraine that at least one Russian precision missile hit at the actual window sill of the Base Commander Office!

Said one knowledgeable source "Britain is responsible for the Kerch bridge attack, the NS1 and NS2 sabotage, sinking the cruiser Moskva and also for yesterdays attack on the Sevastopol Crimea naval base. If you are in #UK, I would start thinking to move out. You not gonna like whats gonna happen next...."

The UK spent millions of £s of public money pushing Brazil’s fascist president to privatize the country’s oil and gas.

A major #UK aid project in Brazil under its far-right president focused on “opening up” #Brazil’s energy markets to provide “opportunities” for #British business.

#Flying #Jet #Pack Propels #British #Paramedics Into Quicker Operations

Helicopter paramedics in Britain have been trained to conduct mountain or sea rescues using Iron Man-style jet suits, even in strong wind and rain conditions. Developed by Gravity Industries, the jet suit is equipped with two micro-jet engines in each arm and three in a backpack, allowing rescuers to reach speeds of over 136kph (85mph) at over 3,650 metres (12,000ft).

#OnThisDay, 2002, #British PM Blair said "#Iraq has a growing arsenal of chemical and biological weapons and plans to use them." He also unveiled an intelligence dossier to a special session of Parliament. Later, it was revealed he was lying and only wanted to start a war. #OTD

In today's show I talk to #Ross #Broadstock who has been promoting the work of historical researchers and authors #AlanWilson and Baram Blackett. #Wilson and #Blackett suffered years of intimidation when they were publishing books about #KingArthur and #British #history from around 1980. These historians have never been tied to any academic establishment which means they've always been free to go where others have feared to tread. Much of their work and findings you will not find being taught in school or university history lessons. Ross Broadstock has worked tirelessly over the last four years to make Wilson and Blacketts books available via the website BritainsHiddenHistory.co.uk.

He has also had some of their work re-published and helped them publish new books containing research which is only now seeing the light of day. Historical claims are often difficult to verify or prove, and healthy debate continues about many of these subjects. The problem with mainstream history institutions is they refuse to look at new claims and evidence which might cause them to have to re-evaluate preconceived histories. I am sure there will be many different opinions about the claims made in today's show, which Ross Broadstock welcomes on his Youtube channel Britain's Hidden History.

Secret documents show UK govt knows Nigerian troops commit atrocities but it continues military aid to secure arms deals and oil supplies.

#British government officials believe there is “chronic corruption” among #Nigeria’s security forces and that many of the #HumanRights accusations against them are “true”. But they want #UK #military assistance to continue as the country represents a “potentially huge market” for arms sales.

That is Whitehall’s view of its key west African counter-terrorism ally, laid bare in a cache of secret UK documents obtained by Declassified. The papers were written last year, just months after Nigerian soldiers massacred 11 protesters in the port city of #Lagos in 2020.

They show #London was fully aware of the regime’s abusive nature but planned to continue offering “high risk” support to its armed forces, judging that “there would likely be minimal reporting from domestic media” in #Britain.
