The situation in the world is such that it continually leaves you with a feeling that events are spiralling out of control. The powerbrokers are more arrogant and the people less accepting of lies

There has been no digest for over a month and much has happened. There have been developments in Gaza, the Islamic Nato, the UN speeches, the attack in Manchester and loads more.
The situation in the world is such that it continually leaves you with a feeling that events are spiralling out of control. The powerbrokers are becoming more arrogant and the people less accepting of their lies.
‘Peace’ in the Middle East
The story: After more than two years of genocide, Donald Trump announced that he had brokered an agreement between Hamas and the Israeli government. This came on the back of his 20 point plan he had introduced to the world a few days earlier.
Why this is important: The Gaza genocide has had the world’s attention for a long time. As the days went on the calls for action were getting louder and louder. The UN walkout (although symbolic), global protests and the Flotilla were all putting pressure on the US to act.
Political Alchemy view: Once you get past the idea that Donald Trump has achieved something no other world leader has ever been able to (his words not mine). You realise that this agreement is only as good as the word of those who brokered it. At least there is respite for the people of Gaza, but this shouldn’t make us believe this will last and that the world’s silence is now forgotten.

Those who call for war are given Peace Prizes
The story: The winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize has been announced, a prize Donald Trump has been pleading with the world to give him for the last few months. Unfortunately for him it was given to Maria Corina Machado, the Venezuelan opposition leader.
Why this is important: In reality beyond political point scoring, the hefty prize money and bragging rights, I doubt very much this prize holds any gravitas amongst ordinary people.
Political Alchemy view: Donald Trump didn’t win, there hasn’t been much to laugh about in the world of recently. But to imagine the ‘Orange Ones’ face turning red through rage as he realised he hadn’t won must have been a sight to behold.
The winner Maria Corina Machado dedicated her win to Trump, rubbing salt into his wounds no doubt. Machado who is CIA backed , at one point wrote a letter to the Nethnmayu asking him to invade Venezuela to save it from a government who were drug traffickers. A remark that has justified US attacks on Venezuelan fisherman under the guise of the war against drugs. All that remains is for the US to invade Venezuela like they did Panama and install Machado as leader. Not much of a peace maker asking foreign nations to invade the very people you want to represent.
When burning a mosque is not terrorism
The story: A mosque in East Sussex was attacked earlier this week. It is being treated as a ‘hate crime’. The mosque on Phyllis Avenue in Peacehaven was firebombed, resulting in damage to the entrance and the burning of a car parked outside.
Why this is important: Crimes like these are on the rise across the world, not only in the UK. There has been a slow and steady degradation of civility within society, egged on by mainstream politicians who try to hide the failure of the political system behind singling out minorities.
Political Alchemy view: Ever since September 11, more than two decades ago, the British government has set out on a deliberate attempt to demonise the Muslim community and Islam. They roll out the narrative of distrust and hate whenever it suits them. This has resulted in a radicalised society; the far-right protests in London are proof of this. Within this atmosphere, it is not surprising for something like this to happen, especially on the back of the synagogue attack in Manchester.
What is surprising (or maybe not) is how an attack on a mosque is deemed a hate crime, but an attack on a synagogue is terrorism. The only thing the Muslim community can be thankful for is that armed police didn’t turn up to shoot a few bystanders.

Tony Blair met Epstein whilst Prime Minister
The story: News emerged this week that Tony Blair met with peadophile and sex trafficker Jeffery Epstein back in 2002. Blair was at that point Prime Minister. The meeting was instigated by Peter Mandelson who at the time was a back bencher but carried political clout. Mandelson vouched for Epstein stating that ‘He is safe’ and encouraged the meeting on basis that Blair and Epstein could talk science and economics (maybe underaged girls too, who knows). The names of Bill Clinton (a travel companion) and the Duke of York were dropped in to sweeten the proposal.
Why is this important: This incident along with the recent news that Mandelson himself has admitted being friends with Epstein. It seems Epstein had his claws deeper into the political class of the UK then previously thought.
Political Alchemy view: At this point it may be easier to just start making a list of global politicians that didn’t meet Epstein. It seems everyone else at some point or another knew the man. The excuses are now wearing thin, Mandelson claimed his meetings were not suspicious because he is gay and Epstein dealt in young girls, what Mandelson wanted was ‘out of stock’. Prince Andrew doesn’t sweat and I presume Blair was too busy copying and pasting the his WMD 45-min report off the internet.
It is ‘un-British’ to protest
The story: Following the attack on the Synagogue in Manchester in which two people were killed one by the police along with the attacker, there has been speculation as to how the government might react. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood was quick to call pro-Palestine protests ‘un-British and that they ‘felt’ wrong. Following further protests supporting Palestine Action, Mahmood today stated repeated large-scale protests had caused “considerable fear” for the Jewish community.
Due to this the Government will amend Sections 12 and 14 of the Public Order Act 1986 to explicitly allow the police to take account of the cumulative impact of frequent protests on local areas in order to impose conditions on public processions and assemblies.
Why is this important: It is clear the political mainstream in the UK are nothing a well oiled Zionist propoganda machine. Using the death of Jews in Manchester Mahmood turned her back on fellow Muslims and Palestine to push through this new legislation. Clearly trying to make a mark in her new role as Home Secretary.
Political Alchemy view: Politicians, governments and the establishment don’t care about who dies and how they die. Their only goal is to achieve maximum political mileage. Politicians in the west are as free as their mainstream press, under the thumb of their pay masters, puppets to those who keep them in power. There is no other reasoning for Mahmood at one point a staunch advocate of Palestinian rights to be the one who is pushing through legislation to stop protests for Palestine.
Unless of course the genocide in Gaza was very ‘British’ and it felt just right.
