Terrifying climate crisis report predicts 4 Billion Dead by 2050

Climate crisis — A new climate-focused campaign group, 4 Billion Dead, has launched in response to a buried report that its name could become reality. It urges people to wake up to our impending disaster of untold proportions. 4 Billion Dead takes its name from a 2025 report by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries, in conjunction with the University of Exeter. Its superficially cheery-sounding name glosses over its worst predictions: Planetary Solvency – finding our balance with nature: Global risk management for human prosperity The report comes from professionals whose entire careers and profits are based on being able to…

Gulf gold empire claims hundreds of African lives in mine collapses

Mine collapse — Over 100 African workers died recently in a horrific artisanal mine collapse at the illicit Zamboye mine. The riverside Zamboye mine borders between western Central African Republic (CAR) and eastern Cameroon. Red Cross volunteer Gervais Ganagoroh, involved in the relief effort, told AP news agency that more than 100 bodies had been recovered from the mine collapse. City official Bertrand Be Yangue said the toll is expected to rise, with several people still missing or trapped beneath the rubble. He told AP: Finding them alive would be a miracle … We are saddened and heartbroken to see young…

Scottish government challenged over funding to Israel-linked weapons firms

Files released to the Sunday National revealed that the Scottish Government recently handed millions in funding to weapons firms supplying Israel. The total funding, awarded last year, comes to over £5.5m. Documents obtained under Freedom of Information (FOI) laws have exposed Scottish Enterprise, the government’s “economic development” agency. It gave more than £5,500,000 to Israel-linked arms firms in the year ending 31 March 2026, including multiple directly implicated in Gaza’s horrific genocide. The £5.5m total represented two-thirds (around 67%) of all funding given to firms in the aerospace, defence, marine, and security (ADMS) sector in that financial year. These revelations severely…

Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic ‘rogue’ AI hacks all sourced to Israeli intelligence operatives

One Tel Aviv-based tech ‘security’ company, Irregular, was at the centre of “rogue” hack attacks launched during AI testing procedures. Meta, OpenAI (of ChatGPT), and Anthropic’s AI models were all involved. Reporting at the time, the Wall Street Journal ran with this alarming headline: Rogue AI Hacks Herald New Era of Cyber Chaos What they didn’t mention was that our “era of cyber chaos” was instigated by Israeli intelligence operatives. Nor did the rest of our fatuous corporate media, for that matter — I wonder why? Over the course of just two weeks, OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta all revealed that their…

Burnham’s £350k pre-PM donor revelations expose Labour Together continuity op

Burnham’s first register of interests (ROI) since being elected MP for Makerfield is now public. It exposes how he so easily stepped into leadership of the Labour Party, and swiftly became PM. Honeymooning British Prime Minister Andy Burnham came to power in a leadership transition that was only remarkable for its smoothness. Now that effortless “transition” of power has been duly exposed. Burnham accepted over £350,000 worth of donations from individuals and organisations historically affiliated with Starmer-aligned factions. Notable among these was over £22,100 from “ThinkLabour,” the rebranded Peter Mandelsonite astroturf organisation formerly known as Labour Together. Labour Together, chaired for…

BBC slammed over pushing Reform UK propaganda yet again

Hard-right, anti-migrant party Reform UK recently revealed its plans to “overhaul” Britain’s benefits system. As if anyone could be surprised, the plans were not exactly original: it’s neoliberal austerity, reheated. So far, not so shocking — although the actual plans understandably alarmed disability rights campaigners and affordability advocates alike. What should be more shocking is how the BBC handled the ordeal. Just heard BBC news lead with Reform policy proposal. How is that editorial decision justified three years out from an election for a party that is a) not the official opposition b) has eight seats in parliament c) is no…

Licensed to kill, hack, sabotage or disinform — Germany’s spy ‘revolution’

Germany’s federal security intelligence services — its state spy network (the equivalent of the CIA or Britain’s MI6) — have been granted malicious new powers. The BND, or Bundesnachrichtendienst, will be given potentially lethal functions, including a new “licence to open fire.” It maintains that this will only be used in “self-defence” scenarios, however. The Guardian calls Germany’s espionage overhaul a “revolution,” in which its parliament handed the deep-state security apparatus its “wishlist“. That apparatus includes both domestic and foreign intelligence arms, according to experts cited in European media. The BND employs some 6,500 operatives (on record). The Times labels the…

US-Zionist imperial dominance tightens on Venezuela and region

On 3 January 2026, the US committed one of its most brazen acts of international law-breaking to date. Its special ops forces captured, abducted and imprisoned socialist Venezuela’s president Nicolas Maduro. Maduro’s supposedly interim ‘acting’ president, Delcy Rodriguez, appears mostly to have been acting in the US empire’s favour. Still, popular communes across Venezuela remain resistant to capitulation. National Assembly deputy Mario Silva called for Chavistas to mobilise, arguing that since 2026 executive power is in the hands of the US. Certainly, the US-led regime change and piracy operation in Venezuela is yielding great dividends for certain interests. Among these are…

Japanese PM and ministers honour war-criminals at imperialist Yasukuni shrine

Commemorating the 81st anniversary of Japan’s unconditional WWII surrender in August 1946, Japan’s political leaders honoured a monument to known war-criminals. The infamous Yasukuni shrine commemorates thousands of war-criminals who served in the brutal Imperial Japanese Army. Leaders included the Prime Minister, defence minister and various cabinet members of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party. Among those to visit the temple was the Japanese defence minister, Shinjiro Koizumi, in charge of Japan’s armed forces. Three other cabinet members visited the Shinto shrine. Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi has previously attended the war-crimes shrine. This year, however, Western media said she skipped, “did not…

Geese, cigs, and cardboard: harassing council fines terrify insecure migrants

Nobody likes being slapped with a fine. Your diligent reporter got slapped with a parking council fine while covering the historic Makerfield by-election. That’s £45 I would much rather not have forked up. (Luckily, I could.) In the North, there’s an entire social media genre that has sprung up of vigilant citizens saving their compatriots from needless fines. Many involve simply telling people to “walk away”, often leaving the fine enforcers looking a bit forlorn. Councils outsource the fining under the name of “environment enforcement“. But not all council fines are equal. Yes, some stretch way beyond £45 (or £90 if…

Burnham’s silence over violent anti-migrant Thetford riots speaks volumes

Andy Burnham has been conspicuously silent about days of racist mobs rioting outside a hotel housing migrants in Norfolk. It’s a deeply worrying sign: Burnham might be worse in some regards than Starmer. Our newly-minted Prime Minister, given perhaps the easiest ride of any new leadership in living memory, has not been silent on various matters. Instead, he seems to have taken to governance by inane TikTok-first soundbites as his preferred method of leading the country. He’s been vocal about important matters like ranking pub confectionery and the difference between a barm and a butty. He also ‘revealed’ his favourite Greggs…

Desperate troops try jumping from USS Abraham Lincoln to escape Iran war hell

US troops deployed in the illegal US-Zionist war on Iran are reckoning with the consequences of their life choices. Navy soldiers are reportedly undergoing a “mental health crisis at sea” as the war drags on. This has resulted in reports of multiple troops attempting to jump overboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. Hell on the USS Abraham Lincoln Family members of “sailors” aboard USS Abraham Lincoln are “sounding the alarm” after multiple soldiers attempted to go overboard. Media call it an “unusually prolonged deployment” to the Middle East. The conservative, Zionist-owned New York Sun calls the events evidence of a “mental health crisis“.…

UK government covering up Israeli spy firm’s Scottish election interference

The UK Government is refusing to publish any information it holds on a shadowy Israeli firm caught meddling in Scottish parliamentary elections. It cites a dubious Freedom of Information (FOI) exemption which allows documents to be withheld if they would supposedly prejudice relations between the United Kingdom and any other state. In other words, the UK’s security apparatus values its “relations” with the settler-colonial apartheid regime over its duty to its own Scottish citizens. That says all you need to know about Westminster rule. Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s UK Government refuses to publish files linked to Zionist spy firm BlackCore. BlackCore…

Government ‘community power’ hypocrisy exposed over Brick Lane data centre

Brick Lane — One supposed fundamental political message has resonated through the entire ‘Burnhamism’ transition. It’s been repeated endlessly that this government’s core mission is to devolve power to “every postcode”. In keeping with that message, local government and housing minster Angela Rayner shared online: We’re putting powers in the hands of communities to crackdown on everyday eyesores that blight town centres. However, it wasn’t long before everybody with eyes and a brain called it what it was: blatant hypocrisy. “We’re putting powers in the hands of communities to crackdown on everyday eyesores that blight town centres.” https://t.co/eZioZT0A7z pic.twitter.com/yXRV3a3KCI — Philip…

Polanski slams BBC Reform-friendly hypocrisy after Newsnight ambush

Green Party leader Zack Polanski has taken aim at “absurd” editorial decisions by the BBC. In particular, Polanski slammed the Beeb for giving far more airtime to Reform UK than the Greens. His comments come after tge BBC was seemingly ambushed on Newsnight by presenters last week. There, Polanski’s interviewers read anonymous texts from “senior” Reform figures live on air. For context, Reform UK’s unelected spokesperson Zia Yusuf has appeared on BBC Question Time a whole 38 times. That’s more than the Green Party’s people have appeared collectively on the show. After multiple such failures at the BBC, it’s quite clear…

Greens eye Burnage by-election to take new mayor’s old seat

Manchester is preparing itself for another, albeit lower-profile, by-election, and the Green party is already ahead. It’s true that the Green Party didn’t get the result it wanted in the Manchester mayoral by-election. Instead, Bev Craig, former Manchester City Council (MCC) leader and Burnham-Labour ally, took on the big job. However, one consequence of that huge mayoral by-election is yet another in Manchester. Only this time, instead of two million Mancunians being offered the vote, it’s some 13,000 Burnage residents. And despite their lack of a mayor — for now, anyway — the Green Party is prepping for another electoral fight.…

Scottish Labour exposed as Westminster-bankrolled front, following Sarwar resignation

It’s emerged that the Scottish Labour Party is fronted by Westminster paymasters. The Scottish wing of Labour relies entirely on its anti-sovereignty London HQ bosses to cover its staffers’ wages. Scottish Labour’s most recent financial accounts show that it paid for no staff last year, with the UK-wide operation meeting employees’ wages. The SNP claimed Scottish Labour “don’t exist” after the revelations. One note in the accounts filings, showed that the UK operation had pledged “financial assistance” to the Scottish branch. This was to ensure its viability, rendering it essentially a southern front organisation. The accounts were published alongside most other large…

Welsh independence campaign group YesCymru sets 2032 referendum target

The nation’s most prominent pro-Welsh independence campaign and pressure group, YesCymru, has set an ambitious target of 2032 for Welsh secession. This week, YesCymru set a clear and ambitious objective for the country’s growing movement. It wants the Welsh people to have a sovereign referendum on Welsh independence in 2032. The announcement came at the National Eisteddfod, Wales’s largest cultural festival, celebrating Welsh language, music, literature and arts. YesCymru chair Rob Hughes made the bold announcement at one public meeting in Pabell y Cymdeithasau on the Eisteddfod field on Sunday, August 2. The 2032 target sets an ambitious but not rushed…

Exclusive: Humanitarians speak out on US-led terror campaign in Ecuador

Ecuador’s coast has become a crime scene, and Washington’s fingerprints are all over it. The Canary interviewed two local humanitarians, published under pseudonyms for their protection. They generously offered us first-hand knowledge of the repeat attacks inflicted upon Manabita communities. On June 14, prosecutor Alexandra Bravo was gunned down outside a café in Manta by a hitman on a motorcycle. Her sister, who threw herself in front of her, died too. Five shell casings. No sign of the police detail supposedly guarding her. Bravo was, shockingly, the twenty-sixth member of Ecuador’s justice system murdered since 2020. She was the second person…
