    DECLASSIFIED. Files/analysis on 1994 Rwanda genocide highlight UK complicity, that UK officials had a wealth of knowledge on the killings and took decisions not to act to prevent or stop them, preferring to promote UK power and economic interests.

    DECLASSIFIED. At time Blair was lying over Iraq’s WMD in 2003, UK was actually selling to Syria components that helped in Assad’s chemical weapon programme. Also, UK sold Syria ingredients to produce the nerve agent, sarin, in the 1980s.

    DECLASSIFIED UK articles/files on Zimbabwe show that UK officials and a military training team turned a blind eye to Mugabe’s massacres of 10,000-20,000 in Matabeleland during 1983-7, also consistently minimising the magnitude of the atrocities.

    NATO says it is conducting "around 50" training activities with the Pakistan military - which continues to support the Taliban in Afghanistan, killing NATO troops. I wrote about this in my Secret Affairs book - "allied to the enemy".

    Britain has as much legal right to deploy military force in the world as Burkina Faso or Iran and provided only it's authorised by UN. But to our deeply-embedded and extreme warmongering culture it's seen as UK's God-given right. We are the chosen people.

    J.Hunt is getting even more dangerous. He’s now reportedly saying he will make it “treason” for any UK citizen to support a foreign state or group which the govt (ie, half a dozen people in No.10) decide to go to war with. Simple totalitarianism.

    The Guardian has yet to apologise for two major fabrications: that Julian conspired with Moscow to escape Britain; and that he met Trump crony Paul Manafort plus Russians. The paper's descent quickens with this censorship:

    It is stunning failed to mention context to Ella Rose's role in our undercover series in 2017 on Britain's pro-Israel lobby. They even tried to use her story but not identify her by name or her past work for the Israeli government!

    Examples: * Ella Rose, former Israeli embassy officer and current JLM exec. Unnamed by while appearing as "whistleblower".

    DECLASSIFIED UK files show that when Tibetans rebelled against brutal Chinese rule in 1959, killings thousands, and asked UK to help at the UN, the UK govt ensured no UN debate took place and stated: “Tibet is redundant to Britain’s interests”.

    DECLASSIFIED UK files on China show UK embassy in Beijing knew 2 weeks in advance of Tiananmen massacre that Chinese forces were prepared to kill hundreds, and then estimated the eventual death toll at 10,000, far higher than other estimates.

    DECLASSIFIED UK files on China show that Thatcher/Bush prioritised “strategic interests” over confronting China on Tiananmen massacre in 1989. “We just had to live with the Chinese and avoid interfering in their internal affairs”, a UK file read.

    DECLASSIFIED UK files on China show UK govt contemplated a US nuclear attack on China over Hong Kong in 1961. Officials wanted to “encourage” Beijing to believe the US would engage in “nuclear retaliation” if China undertook hostile action in Hong Kong.

    Important documents provided by showing UK involvement in the 1973 coup in and subsequent junta. We covered this in our episode on Salvador Allende in Season 1 of the show last year.

    DECLASSIFIED. UK files on the murderous 1973 Pinochet coup against Allende in Chile are remarkable. They show total UK support for the takeover and military regime. UK warplanes also used. Here are the original files I used to tell this story:

    My latest: With last night's Panorama programme on supposed 'institutional anti-semitism' in Labour, the BBC demonstrated that it has become a media attack dog in the hands of the ruling Conservative party
