As soon as journalist Kit Klarenberg landed in his home country of Britain on May 17, 2023, six anonymous plainclothes counter-terror officers detained him.
British counter-terror police detained journalist Kit Klarenberg upon his arrival at London’s Luton airport and subjected him to an extended interrogation about his political views and reporting for The Grayzone.
During Klarenberg’s detention, police seized the journalist’s electronic devices and SD cards, fingerprinted him, took DNA swabs, and photographed him intensively. They threatened to arrest him if he did not comply.
In this video @KitKlarenberg recounts his experience of being detained on entry to UK by counter-terrorism police. Citizens are left wondering why it's a journalist who reports on the risks of blowback terrorism that is the one being interrogated …https://t.co/CF6BC0XBlR
Klarenberg’s interrogation appears to be London’s way of retaliating for the journalist’s blockbuster reports exposing major British and US intelligence intrigues. In the past year alone, Klarenberg revealed how a cabal of Tory national security hardliners violated the Official Secrets Act to exploit Brexit and install Boris Johnson as prime minister.
Then came his report on the CIA’s recruitment of two 9/11 hijackers this April, a viral sensation that generated massive social media attention.
Among Klarenberg’s most consequential exposés was his June 2022 report unmasking British journalist Paul Mason as a UK security state collaborator hellbent on destroying The Grayzone and other media outlets, academics, and activists critical of NATO’s role in Ukraine.
Among Klarenberg’s most consequential exposés was his June 2022 report unmasking British journalist Paul Mason as a UK security state collaborator hellbent on destroying The Grayzone and other media outlets, academics, and activists critical of NATO’s role in Ukraine.
Because Klarenberg’s reporting on Mason relied heavily on leaked emails, Mason falsely accused him of “assisting a Russian state-backed hack-and-leak disinformation campaign.” Mason has also reported the leak of his emails to the British police.
Emma Briant, a self-styled disinformation expert who participated in Mason’s campaign to sabotage NATO critics, dispatched lawyers to demand Klarenberg remove all of his articles that mention her from the internet. The lawyer letters also threatened costly super injunctions to prevent further reporting, and challenged the “authenticity” of the emails’ content.
Long-running anarchist radio and podcast The Final Straw presents a statement from Mark “Mustafa” Hinkston, a look at the upcoming June 11th day of solidarity with long-term anarchist prisoners, and a discussion on continuing solidarity with prisoners arrested following the George Floyd uprising.
First up, after some announcements concerning a local case of police brutality and jail issues in Buncombe County, NC, we’ll hear a statement from Mark “Mustafa” Hinkston, a politicized prisoner we first heard from some years back, who is being held in Ohio about the cruelty of his keeping. His letter can be found below.
Then, we’ll hear a reading out of Against Oblivion, Against Despair: A Call for June 11th , an invitation to the 2023 celebration of the June 11th International Day of Solidarity with Marius Mason and All Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners. More on that, including translations of the statement, statements by prisoners, artwork, action reports, can be found at June11.org.
Finally, we’ll hear a chat with Chazz, an anarchist participating in continued support of prisoners from the George Floyd Uprising.
Greetings comrades. Let me tell you about this prison, the federal supermax ADX [in Florence, Colorado]. In this joint there are different levels and units with varying levels of physical isolation and communication, but there are things we all experience.
A fact that calls into question the viability of biofuels based on residues such as animal fats, despite the fact that they are sold as the panacea to decarbonise the European transport sector.
The use of biodiesel from animal fats to power our cars and planes has doubled in the last decade and is 40 times higher than in 2006, a new study by Transport & Environment (T&E) shows.
The environmental group, together with ECODES and Ecologistas en Acción, calls for more transparency so that consumers know what goes into their deposits and feeds their flights.
The EU promotes this by-product of industrial and intensive farming to, supposedly, reduce carbon emissions from the fuels used in transport, despite the strong impact of this model of industrial farming on emissions. Now they target aircraft and, to a lesser extent, ships.
However, as T&E warns in its study, there are not enough fats to meet all the demand.
Almost half of European animal fats are already used for the production of biodiesel, despite the fact that they are widely used in the animal feed, soap and cosmetics industries:
The burning of biofuels from animal fats will triple by 2030 , which poses two bottlenecks in terms of its availability and sustainability.
In fact, today, as T&E warns, talking about sustainable production is not correct in the case of a sector such as industrial livestock farming with high methane emissions and deforestation due to imported soybeans for animal feed.
Carlos Rico, responsible for biofuels in the Spanish office of T&E, affirms that “it turns out that pigs fly. We’ve been burning animal fats in cars for years without drivers knowing. Now they will be the fuel for your next flight.
But this cannot be sustained without depriving other sectors of them, which in turn are likely to migrate to harmful alternatives such as palm oil. We need more transparency so consumers know what goes into their tanks and fuels their flights.”
A flight from Paris to New York needs 8,800 dead pigs
Large airlines such as Ryanair and Wizz Air have recently closed important agreements with oil suppliers for the manufacture of so-called “sustainable aviation fuels” (SAF, for its acronym in English). Information on the exact raw materials used in SAFs is often imprecise and not transparent.

Not a single healthy person under age 50 died of Covid-19 in Israel, according to data released by the country’s ministry of health in response to a freedom of information request from lawyer Ori Xabi.
“Why were all the extreme measures of school closures, vaccination of children, and lockdowns needed?” internal medicine specialist Yoav Yehezkelli, a prominent critic of Israel’s Covid-19 policies, asked the Epoch Times.
In addition to requesting the number of Covid-19 deaths that had occurred in patients under 50 with no underlying health conditions, Xabi also asked the ministry to provide the average age of patients who died of the disease, segmented by vaccination status, as well as the annual number of cardiac arrest cases between 2018 and 2022.
The average age of fatalities among those vaccinated against Covid-19 was 80.2 years, while the average for the unvaccinated was 77.4, according to the ministry. Very close to the average of death anyway!
However, the MoH claimed to be unable to provide cardiac arrest information for the years 2021 and 2022, explaining that the information had not yet been transferred to them.
A study published last year analyzing data from the Israel National Emergency Medical Services found a shocking 25% spike in emergency services calls due to cardiac arrests for patients aged 16 to 39 taking place from January to May 2021.
However, Sharon Elroy-Pries, head of Public Health Services for the Ministry of Health, condemned efforts to draw a connection to the start of the Covid-19 vaccination program in December 2020 and denied that there had been an increase in cardiac arrests during that time, or any increase in deaths of young people.
Cardiologist Retsef Levi, one of the authors of the study, pointed out that the ministry had claimed not to have information on cardiac arrests for 2021 and 2022, meaning one of the two claims had to be false.
While the MoH insisted the data it provided to Xabi regarding patients aged 18 to 49 was limited to cases in which an epidemiological investigation had been completed, it is known to have access to a database that includes extensive data on all patients, including underlying conditions, irrespective of whether an epidemiological investigation was performed.
Yehezkelli called the MoH’s response “a bit naive,” questioning why it had withheld the full data, but pointed out that the statistics vindicated government critics. “It was definitely a disease that actually only endangered the elderly,” he said, pointing out that the MoH’s numbers showed the average age of death from Covid-19 was 80.
An investigation of data found in the USA’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) has revealed that extremely high numbers of adverse reactions and deaths have been reported against specific lot numbers […]

In Starokonstantinov about 250 km southwest of Kiev, a stock of British Storm Shadow cruise missiles at £2,200,000 each is hit, as well as planes supposed to launch them.
While the UK is plunged into poverty not seen for generations the Russophobic Tory Regime has gifted a €1.200,000,000 (FY2011) project of 200 Storm Shadow missiles at a unit cost of £2,200,000 (FY2023) (US$2,700,000)[1]
On May 29, 2023, Russia is conducting a new wave of strategic strikes all over Ukraine, aimed at military targets on airfields.
The local authorities acknowledged damage to five aircraft and the runway in the region. There is also a fire in the local fuel warehouses and the storage of military materiel.
Thanks to Oleksii Reznikov, Ukrainian defense minister, who in the euphoria on May 24 of a meeting with his counterpart from UK, Ben Wallace, has leaked on Twitter that these weapons were equipping the Su-24 bombers of the 7th tactical aviation brigade, in Starokonstantinov in the Khmelnitsky region.

Russia targets a stock of British Storm Shadow cruise missiles
The military airfield in Starokonstantinov is where the 7th Tactical Aviation Brigade of the AFU is based. The pilots of this unit use Su-24M and Su-24MR bombers which the Ukrainian Minister admitted they have adapted for firing the British Storm Shadow air/launched cruise missiles.
In the meantime, the Atlanticist forces have started to launch Storm Shadows in the deep of the Russian territory, southern Zaporojie region, up to Bryansk.

Ukraine targeted by largest ever drone attacks , exhausting air defenses with mock missiles .. May 28/29 2023
Ukrainian President Zelensky declared that on May 28, Ukraine was targeted by the largest drone attack since the beginning of the Russian military operations. According to him, in total, 54 UAVs were launched. LINK

Later, the locals reported that smoke was seen in the area of the Zhulyani airport located in the south-western part of the city.
According to preliminary reports, the US gifted Patriot missile defense system was again struck near the airport as it fired volleys at approximately $4 million per round from launchers costing about $10 million each.

The raid is a success because Kyrylo Budanov is angry. The head of the Ukrainian military intelligence (GUR) threatens to make Russia pay, what may mean new terrorist operations.
Ukrainian media reported that the Russian military used a new tactics during the night strikes. Together with strike UAVs, they launched numerous false targets, including cheap hand-made plywood planes with a motor running according to the coordinates.
Successful daytime strikes on Kiev became possible after the city’s air defense has exhausted its capabilities during the attack at night. This is the first time that the Russian Airspace Forces have used such tactics.
They launched waves of night strikes, including with fake targets, to deplete Ukrainian air defense means and after that another wave of strikes targeted strategically important targets in the strategic depth of the defense of the AFU.
This time, the planes were equipped with reflectors made of foil and plastic tied on a long fishing line. They reflect the radar signal. As a result, air defence systems detected the reflector better than the false target itself. In particular, in Odessa, air defence systems were firing nonstop with indiscriminate fire which led to no results.
The Ukrainian military used Storm Shadow missiles to attack cities on the coast of the Azov Sea. Over the past day, Russian air defense systems successfully repelled attacks on Berdyansk and Mariupol. The active use of expensive Western cruise missiles in the Zaporozhye region signals that this is still a priority direction for the planned Ukrainian counteroffensive.
The village of Almaznaya in the LPR was hit by three HIMARS MLRS missiles. Three civilians were killed and seven others were wounded.
At Least 4 People Injured In Ukrainian Strikes On Russia’s Belgorod Region
On May 28, the target was the Ilsky refinery in the Krasnodar Kray. All drones were shot down.
On the same day, a Ukrainian UAV hit car in the Bryansk region. Two Russian servicemen were killed.
Border villages in the Russian Belgorod region are constantly shelled by Ukrainian artillery. On May 27, Ukrainian forces killed another civilian in the village of Schebekino.

Constant shelling also continues in the Kursk border region, where another civilian was recently killed.
The Russian military is reinforcing its defense in the border regions. Kiev, which is allegedly waging a defensive war and previously rejected any possibility of invading Russian territory, now openly declares such intentions and launches ground attacks on small border villages terrorizing the local population.
It should not be excluded that such combat reconnaissance operations may lead to a larger-scale attack of the Ukrainian Army in Russia.
Russian air defense systems shot down 14 Ukrainian drones near Verkhnekamenka, Novodruzhesk, Pshenichnoye in the LPR, Yasnoye in the DPR, Vasilyevka, Lyubimovka and Kostantinovka in the Zaporozhye region;
Russian air defense systems shot down 3 Storm Shadow cruise missiles and 13 HIMARS MLRS projectiles;
