🚨51 years ago a UK Government memo detailed the astonishing energy wealth of Scotland. It was deliberately kept secret for decades.

Today in 2025 Scotland has some of Europe's HIGHEST energy bills.

What's going on? Our new investigation starts 24.02

Are all those who have been quietly acquiescing to the multi-billion pound Biden-Netanyahu death relationship because - you know - “democracy”, “liberalism” - going to change after Inauguration?

Will the nexus between ideology and morality make any difference to attempts to stop the mass killing?

It is still hell.
The weapons are still traded
The piles of rubble still grow
The bodies still lie unburied
The captives are still captive
The silence is still deafening
The impunity still protected
The little town
Is anything but still
Christ is still in the rubble
Christ is Still in the Rubble: A Sermon by the Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac
It has been 440 days. 440 days of constant bombing. Nonstop. 440 days of starvation. On top of 17 years of siege and imprisonment. Tens of thousands killed. Injured. Forever disabled. Imprisoned.

Despite the horrific consequences, we still live in a world where nuclear warfare is a threat.
