Exposing One of the Greatest Imperialist Myths of All Time

One of the greatest untold geopolitical stories of the modern era is how a former settler-colony that developed into a hegemonic superpower saved its former Imperial master from existential geopolitical disasters. How the United States provided salvation for Britain in two world wars and then inherited and maintained its former master’s imperialist global interests, especially in the Arabic-speaking region of west Asia aka “Middle East” during the twentieth century is a phenomenal story in itself. Alongside this secular salvation, the United States maintained the foundational geopolitical mythology about the British presence in the Arabic speaking world. This particular mythology is based around the imperial agent T. E. Lawrence (aka “Lawrence of Arabia”). He is considered to have led the Arabs to freedom from Ottoman Rule in the “Arab Revolt” during World War One. Lawrence chronicled his adventures in his classic book, The Seven Pillars of Wisdom.

Steve Bannon the former advisor to President Donald Trump, is the latest to fall gullibly for this foundational mythology in an interview with world-renowned journalist Tucker Carlson. Bannon is an advocate of “America First”, a strategy which calls for the prioritisation of United States interests instead of forever foreign wars which are considered to mostly serve foreign governments. He recently drew an analogy of his interpretation of “America First” priorities with the “Arab Revolt” campaign during World War One. He told Carlson,

“I said to quote T E Lawrence from the Seven Pillars of Wisdom what they told him at the time when he showed up at Cairo’s military headquarters. They said, “Look, the Middle East is a sideshow to the main event, the Western Front”. And the Arab revolt is a sideshow to a sideshow. And I said, “The Middle East right now for us with everything geopolitically going on and the economic war with China…The Middle East is a sideshow and the Israel issue is a sideshow to a sideshow.”

Funding for Proposed Essay: Are “British Muslims” the New Zionists?

Churchill's KarmaLeave a comment
I’m an independent researcher. My articles have appeared on Mondoweiss and al-Mayadeen English. I specialise in how Britain has maintained its interests in the Middle East. I have shown how most of today’s conflicts in the region are rooted in British imperialist foreign policy.
However, a new development or dynamic has appeared that no one is talking about. When the British elite led the calls for regime in Libya in 2011 and then in Syria – with the so-called “British Muslims” generally on board and a minority travelled to de facto assist the British state in its regime state policies. Moazzam Begg met with Mi5 before travelling to Syria. When the Assad government was overthrown, some of these British Muslims referred to it as a “Blessed Revolution”. Yet within a year, the new Syrian leader was shaking hands with Zionist leaders in New York.
So who are the these “British Muslims”? This proposed essay aims to answer this question. I will aim to uncover the political dynamics behind characters and groups like Moazzam Begg, Dilly Hussain, 5Pillars, MAB, etc etc

I’m aiming to raise about £2000 this should cover a period of 2 months which will allow me to focus on this historical essay.  If you want to donate please click here:

Delusional Dilly: Exposing the Ignorance of a 5Pillars Editor

Churchill's KarmaLeave a comment

Does Dilly Hussain Qualify as a Journalist?

The Muslim community in Britain is awash with unabashed sectarians who clearly and alarmingly have never read a modern history book. They seem to find morality and truth much easier to embrace by supposedly imitating the appearance of the Prophet Muhammad by flaunting a beard, clipping their moustaches and parading their trousers to their ankles as though this was the be all and end all of the Arabian Prophet’s existence. Listening to some of these Muslim sectarians you’d be mistaken to think the Prophet never uttered the word “Read” let alone it being the first word of divinely inspired revelation. This came to mind when this blogger read one of Mr. Dilly Hussain’s latest rhapsodies on social media. As co-editor of the “British Muslim” news website 5 Pillars, he fancifully claimed that “despite all my scathing criticisms of its rulers and regimes, that Pakistan, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt can reshape the future of the Muslim world under the right leadership and with the political will.”

I don’t recall Dilly ever making any geopolitical criticisms of these countries, scathing or otherwise, but let’s assume he has and leave it at that. However, I do recall he was a vociferous champion of the NATO lead regime change campaigns in the Arab world, specifically he was as keen as the Western-Zionist imperialist paedophile elite to see the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad’s Syrian government to be replaced by the de facto Zionist friendly government currently residing in Damascus. The United States pumped $1 billion into the regime change war on Syria in the 2010s to install al-Qaeda’s Jolani in power. Jolani is now celebrated by Western-Zionist leaders in New York i.e Ronald Lauder and has been welcomed with perfume by pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s top friend, President Donald Trump. Returning to Dilly’s notion that the leadership in the aforementioned countries “can reshape the future of the Muslim world”, this essay hopes to authoritatively show that this is nothing other than delusional and what follows is a brief historical understanding of each of the mentioned country’s relationship to the Western-Zionist imperialist pedophile global elite. Ultimately, the essay hopes to disabuse Dilly of his ignorance. Continue reading →

British Intelligence and its al-Qaeda Conundrum

Churchill's KarmaLeave a comment

A recent speech by the former head of Mi6, the British foreign intelligence organisation, Mr. Richard Moore boasting about his clandestine meetings with Syria’s new ruler, the former internationally wanted al-Qaeda terrorist Ahmed al-Jolani before he attained power reveals a certain dimension of Britain’s relationship with a supposed enemy. The meetings were held during the time when Jolani still had an international $10 million bounty for his arrest. Mr. Moore informed a gathered audience in Istanbul that British intelligence had established contact with Jolani two years before his repackaged al-Qaeda organisation, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), swept into the Syrian capital, Damascus, in early December 2024.

According to the former British ambassador, Craig Murray, British intelligence had provided HTS with “intelligence support, training and weapons, based at secret UK bases in the [Lebanese] Bekka valley, including inside the Rayak airbase” during the CIA led regime change operation in Syria. So instead of claiming the $10 million for cash strapped Britain, Mr. Moore’s organisation was offering military advice. This is not the first time British intelligence, whether domestic or international, has been found to be working with al-Qaeda related characters while simultaneously informing the public that al-Qaeda and associated groups are a proscribed organisation because of its terrorism. In this essay, I outline further episodes where British intelligence are shown or seem to be in a covert dalliance with characters it is supposedly protecting the British people from which in turn portends a conundrum.

The Jordanian, Omar Mahmoud Uthman aka Abu Qatada, born in Bethlehem, had earned his jihadi credentials in Afghanistan in the 1980s but on his return to Jordan he found himself brutally out of favour. He was accused of involvement in terrorist activity which in turn compelled him to find asylum in London in 1993….To continue reading the article click here.

Nazism is a Colonialism; Zionism is a Colonialism

A Refutation of an aspect of the IHRA’s Working Definition of Antisemitism

A worldwide initiative driven by Western experts and talking heads is afoot to silence any comparison between the Zionist state (i.e “Israel”) and the Nazi German regime of the 1930s-40s. Even in the midst of the current Zionist genocide in Gaza, the comparison draws the ire of western contemporary mainstream political sensitivities. This de facto taboo was given immense credence by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) organisation which claimed, “criticism of Israel similar to that levelled at any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitism”. Yet confusingly adds that an example of antisemitism in “public life” is to compare “contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.” This essay argues, at the very least, there is a common denominator which underpins the territorial ambitions of the Nazi German regime and the British Imperial foundations of the contemporary Zionist state….

…It is quite clear that a certain aspect of the IHRA working definition of anti-semitism lacks historical literacy. The IHRA’s definition doesn’t consider both the global historical context of the emergence of the Nazis as led by Adolf Hitler and also how Zionism became manifest in the hands of the British Empire during its occupation of Palestine…
