With an unbroken 145-year streak, the face-off between two of the island-nation’s oldest schools has become a cultural rite of passage for the nation’s elite.

Epitome of British Perfidy: Piers Morgan Laid Bare

When you see the level of stupidity, arrogance and incompetence, as part of a massive disinformation campaign coming from the British mainstream media today (as illustrated in this interview by Piers Morgan) we can have absolutely no confidence whatsoever in anything the Western mainstream media says. In this interview, Professor Marandi’s explanations were correct. His analysis of Iran’s response to Israel’s destruction of the Iranian Embassy was correct. Iran responded by mounting three interrelated operations.

The first was a Psychological Warfare operation. Here, Iran delayed their retaliatory strike by two weeks in order to sow fear among the Israeli population and to undermine confidence in the Israeli Government.

Islamic Hands? Controversy over Moscow Bomb Attack
Michael Roberts
The information and interpretations present in this Thuppahi website by “A Observer in a Black Sea Resort” (see refs at end) have been challenged by several Academic friends of mine located in the West (A and B quoted below within this text). However, another friend located in USA …. a Sri Lankan as it happens …. has chipped in with a counterpunch (see C below); while another Sri Lankan has also added a note of significance.

Hot Press: Ukraine on the Backfoot in War with Russia
An Observer in A Black Sea Town …. with highlights and a title imposed by The Editor, Thuppahi
Kazakh authorities in Kazakhstan have called on all citizens to leave Odessa and Kharkov which suggests Russia will soon take these two strategic cities. Once Russia takes Odessa, Ukraine will became a landlocked country, and will no longer have access to the Black Sea.

China as Target of CIA’s Destabilizing Programme

Today, we learn what I’ve known for years: that the CIA have spent billions in spreading anti-China propaganda to stir up trouble in China and with countries dealing with China, thereby seeking to topple the government of China and destroy its economy. This propaganda campaign included pushing fake stories that the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative [BRI] was a threat to the world, that China would use the BRI to take over the world, that China would militarize ports they had built as part of the BRI, such as in Hambantota. It was all lies. It is now confirmed that Trump ordered the CIA to bad mouth China’s infrastructural projects, which has caused tremendous damage around the world, costing trillions of dollars to the US in damages, destroying relationships around the world, and for what?
