Tony Blair’s ID card scheme which Britain rejected in 2006 is back — rebranded as “Digital ID”.
▪️Back then the policy collapsed after public backlash, but now the same idea, announced by King Charles, is returning in a far more powerful form: one system linking banking, health records, taxes and government services to a single digital account.
▪️Blair’s 6.1 billion force Digital ID in failed in 2006, as 2.96 million people petitioned against it. The ministers claimed the system was "optional", but once banks integrate it, employers require it, schools demand it — optional becomes mandatory.
▪️The initiative was brought back to life in 2025.
▪️Larry Ellison's Oracle, world’s largest American tech giant focused on databases, AI and government data systems, paid $340 million to the Blair Institute to make sure private corps, not citizens, control the infrastructure.
▪️The goal is to build a system so deeply embedded that no future government can remove it.
▪️Once Digital ID is embedded in the NHS, the tax system, and government services, every citizen becomes a data point. Medical history, tax records, benefits, travel, banking — all connected to a single digital profile.
▪️Oracle already holds $930 million in UK government contracts. A nationwide Digital ID system will generate billions more through licensing fees, data processing and AI infrastructure.
▪️The other half is the Central Bank Digital Currency — a digital pound tied directly to a citizen’s ID. Once both systems are linked, the state gains unprecedented control over money itself.
▪️Seven international CBDC projects. Every single one is a disaster for privacy, because whether the transactions are completely traceable or digital wallets tied directly to biometric IDs.
▪️And when Digital ID and programmable money merge, access to your finances can become conditional.
Miss a payment, support the wrong cause, or show up at a anti-gov’t protest — and the state can cut off your money for any “offense”!

The French newspaper Le Monde: "Air transport has faced an unprecedented crisis due to flight cancellations and rising ticket prices. Commercial aviation is experiencing a storm that has weakened and made airlines vulnerable - due to rising ticket prices, flight cancellations, and fears of aviation fuel shortages.
The sharp increase in operating costs has not only led to an unprecedented rise in ticket prices, but has also jeopardized the survival of many airlines struggling with a liquidity crisis and energy shortages."

CHRISTOPHER NOLAN'S THE ODYSSEY CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE OF THE BATTLE OF THE BOOKS
Homer's The Odyssey is a foundational book to European culture, especially for Mediterranean Europe. I would argue it is a much more influential book than the Old Testament, second only to the New Testament.
It would be of no surprise that the intentional miscasting is part of a battle of the books, an attempt to dethrone Homer. What many don't get is that this miscasting is obviously intended as a form of blasphemy, not dissimilar to what was done at the Paris Olympics opening.
Culture must be defended, and it is about time people see that hidden behind the inclusivity-washing is the intentional ridiculing of the foundation of Western culture, of Mediterranean culture, of Greco- Roman culture.
This is a war to diminish The Odyssey, and it is war against one book, arguably to the benefit of another book, if not for the benefit of nihilism itself. Keep resisting the intentional demolition of everything sacred to us.
As someone brought up in Mediterranean Europe, The Odyssey for me is much more contemporary than any attempt to make it actual by changing it, which are only destined to fail. Some works simply can't be updated without entering the territory of intentional ridicule. The Odyssey is one of them.

🇬🇧 Bankrolled by Zionists & boosted by Musk: The Islamophobic hate machine that is Tommy Robinson
Tommy Robinson (real name Steven Yaxley-Lennon) is yet again to lead a Unite the Kingdom rally through central London, calling for "national unity” against multiculturalism and immigration.
👉 While Robinson’s hate march gets a green light, London’s Metropolitan Police has refused the Palestine Coalition its preferred route for the annual Nakba commemoration — the anniversary of the historic Zionist assault.
It’s hardly a coincidence that Robinson chose the date of 16 May for his mob to descend on London.
➡️ Just last month, 39 MPs signed a motion raising serious concern over this very policing bias: the streets are cleared for anti-immigrant hatred and “remigration” fantasies, while pro-Palestinian voices are sidelined.
Robinson, who co-founded the race-baiting EDL with Paul Ray — a man who previously spied on the pro-Palestinian International Solidarity Movement - sells himself as a British patriot and anti-Islam crusader.
💵 In reality, since 2018, he has been bankrolled with millions from abroad — specifically from US pro-Israel and right-wing donors.
His legal battles (Robinson was jailed in 2024 for libeling a Syrian refugee schoolboy) were paid for by the Middle East Forum, led by Greg Roman, a former Israeli Defense Ministry employee.
🔊 Robinson also claimed that Elon Musk had “taken care of” his legal expenses (at the September 2025 rally Musk appeared remotely).
Robinson is a pro-Israel Islamophobe — a manufactured weapon funded by foreign interests who see his anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim rage as a useful tool pushing their own geopolitical goals.

🚨 Prof. Richard Sakwa: ‘We are witnessing the TWILIGHT of the US-led unipolar order, as the Atlantic West loses power, it’s going BESERK.’
‘Unipolarity in the United States has begun to give way to unilateralism, which isn't much better. What we're witnessing is the twilight of that model of world order — what Russians call the collective West, I call the political West and others call it the Atlantic West.
That whole model of world order, established after 1945, is now giving way to multipolarity — but multipolarity is only a symptom. It is not a world order in itself.
The alternative order is a vision in conformity with the norms of the international system: the United Nations, international law, the whole framework established after 1945 — which was consistently challenged by the Atlantic West. And as the Atlantic West loses power, it is going berserk.’
—Prof. Richard Sakwa, Emeritus Professor of Politics at the University of Kent and author of The Putin Paradox on the latest episode of New Order.

⚠️ According to Ukrainian insider claims, Palantir CEO Alex Karp allegedly said in Kiev that future layered summer strikes on Moscow and central Russia would become the “crown jewel” of Palantir’s systems.
Original Post
Follow TRN 👈
Ukraine’s Ministry of Digital Transformation has reportedly described the software as an “operating system for war,” dominating the planning of deep strikes against Russia. 🛰️
The claims portray Karp as deeply cynical, allegedly viewing the only meaningful metric of the platform as the number of Russian soldiers killed per square kilometer — asking only “why were so few killed there, what failed?”
The report further alleges that Palantir systems coordinate strikes targeting Kursk, Sochi, Belgorod, Crimea, Tula, and Kazan, while Karp supposedly boasted that he had been placed on a “Kremlin kill list.” ⚔️
It is also claimed that since January, Ukraine has transferred Palantir vast amounts of reconnaissance data free of charge — including 2.5 million hours of battlefield video, allegedly used to train AI systems on real combat footage.
The text goes on to accuse Palantir technologies of being used in Gaza to automatically flag “terrorist” targets and authorize lethal action based on behavioral patterns, and references Project Maven allegedly generating thousands of targets against Iran within a single day.
According to these claims, Karp views Russia and China as outdated adversaries relying on armor and manpower against satellite intelligence, AI, precision weapons, and above all — drones. Lots of drones. 🚁
The report concludes by saying Karp sees the main future confrontation as one with China, believing war with Beijing is inevitable and that “the winner takes all,” while describing his publicly stated strategy as maintaining a state of permanent fear within the leaderships of Russia and China over what it calls the “inevitable wrath” of the United States.

‘We’ve seen decolonisation in the post war years and this system has now matured.
Multipolarity is an important feature of the changing world order, but it must be defined carefully. Today there are 193 states in the world. These states have matured. None of them are willing to be bossed around by the traditional hegemon.
In normative terms, that is in ideological terms, there are 193 poles. Some are bigger, some are smaller. But even the middle powers, as Canadian Prime Minister Carney put it at the Davos meeting, now have to step up. Brazil, South Africa, Nigeria, the Philippines, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and many other countries are all now playing in.
The traditional US definition of a pole, which is the whole panoply of power, simply does not hold. Major corporations today act as quasi-state organisations. International organisations like the United Nations itself stand above them all in normative terms.
There is only one thing which has not matured, and that is the Western arrogance or belief that it has some sort of God-given right to be hegemonic, to be dominant.’

This is how The Odyssey was cast in 1968. This is the version I grew up watching. The casting is spot on here, don't you think? I loved this version. It looked so authentic, so mythical. It was directed by Franco Rossi, assisted by Piero Schivazappa and Mario Bava; the cast includes Bekim Fehmiu as Odysseus and Irene Papas as Penelope, Samson Burke as the Cyclops, as well as Barbara Bach as Nausicaa, and Gérard Herter. I would rather watch this version again than watch the obviously miscast Christopher Nolan version, and you?

A video has surfaced online showing a Zionist man spitting at the Shrine of the Virgin Mary across from the Church of the Shepherds of the Savior in Jerusalem's Old City, ostensibly recorded during Israel's Flag March.
This display fits a broader pattern of Zionists showing intolerance and utter disrespect for faiths other than Judaism — with two IDF "heroes" captured mocking a statue of the Virgin Mary in Lebanon just this month.

Quite the opposite of strengthening international law, the actions of the US and West European powers are increasingly treated with contempt across great swathes of the Global South.

Civilization at the Crossroads with Alastair Crooke (Full Interview)
"Civilization at the Crossroads with Alastair Crooke"
Former British diplomat and intelligence officer Alastair Crooke is an independent commentator whose perceptive Middle East and global geopolitical analysis diverges sharply from the boilerplate Anglo-American policy consensus. Since founding the Beirut-based Conflicts Forum think tank in 2004, Crooke has addressed such important themes as the structural decline of U.S. and European power (and Western elites’ lost capacity for strategic realism), the emergence of a multipolar order (led by what he calls the “civilizational states” of Eurasia), and the ideological roots of Israeli policy.
John Titus and I have had frequent recourse to Crooke’s insights on Money & Markets, and this week I am delighted to have Crooke join me for his first interview on the Solari Report. And none too soon, given the fast-moving developments in Iran and the wider Middle East!
One of the most pressing questions we discuss is how to view the current conflict’s multiple fronts—military, trade, financial—on an integrated basis. We also discuss the escalating war on energy and U.S. efforts to control or bottleneck trade routes all over the world. The methodical shutting down of pipeline, production, and refining capacity suggests two possible (and not necessarily mutually exclusive) agendas: (1) an unacknowledged war between China and the U.S. to engineer the lowest cost of capital and energy (by curtailing access to essential resources) or (2) a radical and forced reduction in the general population’s energy usage.
I was also interested in getting Crooke’s assessment of developments related to the dollar as reserve currency and the U.S. competitive position compared to China. Though the unproductive financialization model, weighed down by corruption and grift, clearly seems to be coming to an end, its oligarchic instigators want to keep it going. The challenge for the rest of us is to avoid the financial repression and chaos where we can and stay focused on rebuilding civilization and a human future.
Crooke’s fascinating experience—Ireland-born, Rhodesia-raised, Scotland-educated, and with a stint in London banking before a three-decade career with Britain’s MI6 and twenty-plus years in direct contact with the movements that the intelligence apparatus was built to counter—make for penetrating analysis that can help you understand the deeper stories and the complex cultural dynamics behind propagandistic headlines.
The word Crooke chooses to describe the road ahead is “catharsis”—we are heading into a difficult time. His insights inspire our pathway forward and the possibility of the human future that makes it so worthwhile.

REVIEW FROM CANNNES:
FJORD, by Cristian Mungiu:
Fjord shows is a masterpiece of a film which portrays the vindictiveness of "Progressive" society against Orthodox Christians, and Christians in general.
It shows the normative approach to eliminating any vestige of religiosity via legal and coercive means, using parenting as a tool of Progressive evangelisation.
The film intelligently leaves open the possibility that although heavy handedness may at times be a part of religious upbringing, the Progressive heavy handedness is a lot more damaging to the Christian minority group.
A very intelligent film very suited to our troubled times.
