British justice endorses heist of Venezuelan gold

2 July 2020
On 2 July 2020, the UK High Court ruled that, on the basis of Her Majesty’s Government recognition Juan Guaidó as president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, the claims of constitutional president Nicolás Maduro to recover the Venezuelan gold deposited in the Kingdom were groundless.
Therefore, it is enough to stop recognizing a head of state to expropriate his country’s assets.
Since May, a controversy has been brewing between Venezuela and the United Kingdom at the UN Security (...)

New York (USA) | 8 June 2020
I have the honour to address you in follow-up to my letter of 26 May 2020 (S/2020/444), on our denunciation of the greatest robbery in the modern history of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which, to date, continues to be perpetrated, with total impunity, by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in the midst of the worst pandemic that humanity has faced in the past 100 years.
In this context, allow me to refer to the letter dated 29 May 2020 from the (...)

UK steals $ 1 billion

by Samuel Moncada

New York (USA) | 26 May 2020
I have the honour to address you to take the opportunity of denouncing the greatest robbery in the modern history of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which was perpetrated, thus far, with total impunity, by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, in the midst of the worst pandemic that humanity has faced in the past 100 years.
For more than 20 years, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela has had part of its gold reserves deposited at the Bank of England, as a (...)

Covid-19: Neil Ferguson, the Liberal Lyssenko

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 20 April 2020
In the past, European political leaders yielded to the orders of their astrologers. Today, they refer to them identically to the statisticians of the Imperial College. In the past, the latter have provided them as much justification as they needed for their liberal hospital policy. Today, they predict millions of deaths without any scientific rigour. Thierry Meyssan reveals how these charlatans have taken control of the policies of the European Union, the United Kingdom and certain states of the United States.

by Thierry Meyssan

Damascus (Syria) | 25 February 2020
New documents have leaked on the organization of British propaganda against Syria. They provide insight into how bona fide journalists could have been permanently intoxicated by the myth of the "Syrian revolution" and why the UK withdrew from Syria despite the success of this operation.

Boris Johnson’s speech in Greenwich

by Boris Johnson

London (United Kingdom) | 3 February 2020
It is great to welcome everyone here to Greenwich and I invite you first to raise your eyes to the heavens.
The Vatican has Michelangelo.
Greenwich has Thornhill who spent 20 years flat on his back on top of the scaffolding, so rigid that his arm became permanently wonky, and he’s left us this gorgeous and slightly bonkers symbolic scene that captures the spirit of the United Kingdom in the early 18th century.
This painting above you was started in 1707, the very year when the union with (...)

A letter from Emmanuel Macron to the British people

by Emmanuel Macron

Paris (France) | 1 February 2020
En Fr
Dear British friends,
Your country has just left the European Union, after 47 years of life together.
It is the result of the sovereign decision the British people expressed in the referendum of June 2016, a democratic choice France has always respected.
Yet I must also tell you, as an ally and, even more, as a friend and true European, how deeply sad I am at this departure. And I am thinking, today, of the millions of Britons – from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern (...)

24 November 2019
The British government has failed to heed the 22 May 2019 UN General Assembly resolution enjoining it to vacate the Chagos Islands, which it occupies illegally, and hand them back to Mauritius within a six-month deadline.
Approached by the General Assembly, the International Court of Justice confirmed, on 25 February 2019, the unlawful handling of the de-colonization process and the sovereignty of Mauritius over the Islands. With this motion the six-month deadline was pushed up (...)

Operation Yellowhammer

OFFICIAL SENSITIVE
HMG Reasonable Worst Case Planning Assumptions
As of 2 August 2019
When the UK ceases to be a member of the EU in October 2019 all rights and reciprocal arrangements with the EU end.
The UK reverts fully to ’third country’ status. The relationship between the UK and the EU as a whole is unsympathetic, with many MS (under pressure from the Commission) unwilling to engage bilaterally and implementing protections unilaterally, though some MS may be more understanding.
No (...)
