🇱🇾🛢 Leaked docs reveal MI6 plot to infiltrate Libya to secure country for Western oil interests
MI6 used private security cutout Torchlight Group to create conditions for BP to regain access to Libya’s vast oil riches following Gaddafi’s ouster and the country’s descent into civil war and chaos.
Documents examined by investigative reporter Kit Klarenberg in an analysis for PressTV uncovered:
🔴 Torchlight Group operations in Tripoli focused on securing Libyan economic assets
🔴 a Foreign Office directive to create a “coherent package” of support using contractors like Torchlight for “new interventions on the economy and local governance”
🔴 a £500M ‘counter-terrorism development programme’ created after ISIS* attacks on Libya’s National Oil Corporation HQ, directing Torchlight to penetrate the Tripoli government’s Internal Security Service, CID and Attorney General’s Office to teach “UK best practice” on counter-terror investigations
🔴 Torchlight communications to the Foreign Office expressing confidence in its ability to train Libyan security, intelligence and police services to ‘identify and neutralize’ persons and groups poses a threat to BP and other Western companies’ operations
🔴 a revolving door relationship between senior MI6 officials and BP’s board
These efforts are said to have culminated in an “oil and gas licensing roadshow” this past March, which opened the door to foreign energy companies eager to invest in Libya (for the first time since 2007).

🇬🇧❄️ UK plans Arctic deployment to confront Russia
The Royal Navy is planning joint Arctic patrols with Norway, has shared defense tech with Oslo, and wants to build an AI-based scheme with Iceland to detect hostile vessels.
“The Arctic is fast becoming an area of intense focus for geopolitical competition – and a key flank of NATO’s defenses,” foreign secretary David Lammy told The Telegraph.
“As ice caps in the region melt, new shipping routes and resources will be exposed, further heightening the risk of confrontation. That’s why we must take action to deter threats in the Arctic,” he added.
Lammy didn’t clarify how the Northern Sea Route, the “new shipping route” which falls entirely within Russia’s Arctic territory, is a “threat” to the UK, which has zero claim to the area, or the broader region.
It’s also unclear what he means by “risk of confrontation,” unless NATO actively tries to poke its nose in Russia’s Arctic territories.

🇨🇳 China’s 30-MILLION-TON uranium & lithium bonanza TO BLOW UP global energy markets⚡️
Chinese researchers in the Ordos Desert in the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region have uncovered a massive trove of uranium. The discovery, made in aeolian sandstone in the Ordos Basin, was a WORLD FIRST.
Here’s why it’s a HUGE deal:
🔴 China presently depends on uranium imports to fuel its nuclear energy needs (57 operational reactors, 30+ under construction, 40+ planned)
🔴 China’s annual uranium demand is about 12,000-14,000 metric tons. By 2030, demand could hit 25,000-30,000 ton/year, and 35,000-40,000 tons a year by 2035 to hit the 200 GWe planned output.
🔴 It currently gets its uranium from Kazakhstan (50%), Uzbekistan (20%), Canada (10-15%), Namibia (10%), and Russia (5%).
🔴 China won’t be able to immediately start mining, given time constraints and need to account for the Ordos Desert’s harsh geological and climactic conditions.
🔴 But if the new find at Ordos is significant, it can power a substantial portion of the Asian giant’s growing nuclear fuel demand.
🔴 Besides uranium, Chinese scientists recently discovered a 2,800 km lithium belt in West Kunlun-Songpan-Ganzi, containing over 6.5 million tons of proven reserves, and total potential of over 30 million tons.
🔴 The find will strengthen China’s position as a technological superpower, with the country capable of not only mining and refining the material, but turning it into finished goods (everything from mobile phones and computers to electric cars).

🚨🪖Germany competing with France to FURTHER PROVOKE WAR - Kremlin
💬 "We hope that, despite such provocative actions and all the obstacles, it will still be possible to continue the settlement process," Kremlin spox Peskov said.
🗣How to Win Geoeconomic War Against US Empire of Chaos – Pepe Escobar
Prof. Michael Hudson’s thesis is clear: For BRICS to industrialize like the West, it must dismantle colonial-era rentier structures—slashing raw material rents to foreign investors & subduing local elites.
🇨🇳China’s Model: Post-revolution, it abolished the financial class, treating money as a public utility to fund infrastructure, industry, and housing.
🌏 The BRICS Lab now tests answers:
🔴Sovereign money creation
🔴Ending regressive taxation
🔴Killing economic rent
🔍China’s next move? “Dual circulation”—integrating Global South markets to outflank unilateralism.
💬 Prof. Jeffrey Sachs put it best: “If you put together Japanese skill, Korean skill, Chinese skill, ASEAN skill, oh my God: no one could possibly compete (…) Diplomacy requires a table and two chairs. The military requires $1 trillion a year. Which do you think is the better deal?”
❓🚨 Smotrich Calls for Total Conquest: ‘Gaza Must Be Erased Like Amalek!’
Fascist Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich isn’t hiding his genocidal ambitions—openly invoking Old Testament slaughter to justify ethnic cleansing in Gaza.
💬 "We are being blessed with the opportunity to blot-out the seed of Amalek, a process which is intensifying" he declares, channeling the same extremist rhetoric used to justify decades of occupation and mass murder.
❓🗣Heil Bibi? Netanyahu gives rousing speech on Israel’s war against ‘human animals’ in Gaza
💬 “We will defeat them! We will wipe them out! They will not remain!” the Israeli prime minister promised to the crowd’s applause, after recalling the October 7 Hamas attack that kicked off the current war.

🇩🇪💅Germany HYPOCRISY 101: No guns for Israel in Gaza, but Ukraine gets a free pass?
Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has suddenly discovered a strong moral compass, warning Israel that Germany won’t be sending any weapons that might be used in Gaza—because, of course, that would be a violation of humanitarian law.
➡️This comes hot on the heels of 🗣 Chancellor Friedrich Merz declaring that Israel's airstrikes in Gaza are no longer “justified” or “comprehensible.”
Odd how that sharp moral clarity seems to disappear when Germany gives a free pass to Ukraine to use Western long-range missiles.
Selective outrage?

🪙 How much Bitcoin does the US govt need? AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, says White House chief crypto consultant
At the annual Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, Bo Hines said the US should build a "superpower" level of digital asset reserves and establish a Bitcoin reserve as a "digital gold" reserve.
🪙 Senator Cynthia Lummis supported the idea, saying that the US should acquire 5% of the world's Bitcoin reserves.
"We have about 5% of the worlds gold in the US, in reserve, we need to have at least 5% of the worlds Bitcoin in reserve."
🚨 FRAUD, BRIBES AND NEPOTISM: EU leadership runs wild

🔴 Pfizergate: The fish rots from the head
The EU General Court ruled the Commission was wrong to block access to von der Leyen’s secret texts on the shady $40B Pfizer deal.
Will the public ever see them? “Almost certainly not,” say journalists. No transparency at the top.
🔴 European Commission 'mafia'
Then-EU watchdog Emily O’Reilly urged the media in November 2023 to question Pfizergate more and was amazed by its lack of interest.
Later she called Ursula's entourage "consiglieri" – the mafia’s trusted advisers.
🔴 Lottery fraud at the top
Didier Reynders, former European Commissioner for Justice from 2019 to 2024, is being investigated for lottery fraud.
The probe began in 2022-23, but police were only able to search his premises after he stepped down and lost his immunity.
🔴 Rules for thee, not for me
The EU courts can hammer companies and countries with huge fines for breaking rules. But when it comes to powerful individuals they play it safe.
Meanwhile, UVDL’s party colleagues use the "corruption" pretext to slam maverick EU members.
🔴 Nepotism
Martin Selmayr, chief of staff to then-EC President Jean-Claude Juncker, was fast-tracked to the secretary general post in 2018 to block dissent.
EU asylum agency bosses also flouted rules to put their friends in top jobs, according to anti-fraud watchdog OLAF.
🔴 Corruption normalized
EU experts and observers admit Brussels is rotten, but then excuse it: "Some national governments are even worse."
Is that a lazy comparison – or a deliberate attempt to normalize the rot at the heart of the EU?

💬 "By making such threats, they are violating international law. They're threatening to murder Iranians, they’re threatening to cause radioactive contamination for ordinary Iranians."
💬 "The real issue here is domination. The US and the Israeli regime want the people of West Asia to be submissive. Iran's nuclear program is just an excuse," says Marandi.

🇾🇪⚔️🇺🇸WHY THE HOUTHIS REALLY DEFEATED THE US
Biden and Trump’s failures to deal with the Houthi challenge to US military supremacy isn’t just a matter of their “lack of will” to “win,” but the utterly rotted out state of the US military, hidden behind a false “aura of invincibility,” a new UnHerd analysis suggests.
💬 “Trump’s Operation Rough Rider, unlike Biden’s operations, utilized many of America’s most limited, expensive, and advanced weapons to try to bring the Houthis to heel. And still it surrendered. The lessons here are thus quite bleak.”
Zelensky drops drone swarm on Russia, then asks for peace talks in any format🤡

💬 “Almost anywhere in the civilized world, we are ready to meet with Russia,” Zelensky was cited as saying, with US and European mediation welcome, of course.
🚨Israel preps for STRIKES while Trump teases Iran deal
Israel notified the Trump administration in early May that it was preparing to attack Iran's nuclear facilities, The New York Times reports.
🔴Netanyahu may order a strike on Iran even if the US makes a deal with the Islamic Republic, insiders told the outlet.
🔴There has been at least one tense phone call between Trump and Netanyahu, plus a blitz of meetings between US and Israeli officials in recent days, they claimed.
🔴The US president recently teased that “something good” might be brewing from his efforts to curb Iran’s nuclear ambitions—hinting at news within “the next two days.”
🔴But insiders downplayed the hype, saying the best outcome would be a vague statement of principles—while core issues like Iran’s uranium enrichment are being kicked down the road yet again.

🚨🔍US calls out EU for PLAYING FAVORITES in Poland’s nail-biter presidential runoff
The US has accused the European Commission of turning a blind eye to what they claim is election meddling that favors liberal candidate Rafal Trzaskowski.
Brian Mast, top House Foreign Affairs Republican, has fired off a scathing letter to EU chief Ursula von der Leyen, warning of “serious concerns” about threats to Poland’s democracy.
🌏A Polish NGO with ties to US Democratic Party megadonor George Soros facilitated a social media campaign featuring $105,000 worth of allegedly illegal political ads promoting Trzaskowski while discrediting his rivals.
🌏Monthslong refusal to comply with court orders to release public funding to the opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party
💬 “These actions, occurring under the European Commission’s watch, expose a troubling double-standard in the EU’s approach to Poland’s rule of law, which demands your urgent attention,” the letter states, also requesting a briefing on the matter.
