BBC editor Raffi Berg has almost complete control of the British broadcaster's online coverage of Israel's war on Gaza and is ensuring that all events are reported with a pro-Israel bias, according to a new report published on 28 December by Drop Site News.

"This guy's entire job is to water down everything that's too critical of Israel," one former BBC journalist said.

Drop Site News spoke to 13 current and former staffers who stated that the BBC's coverage consistently devalues Palestinian life, ignores Israeli atrocities, and creates a false equivalence in an entirely unbalanced conflict.

Another BBC journalist said Berg plays a key role in a broader BBC culture of "systematic Israeli propaganda."

"How much power he has is wild," said another journalist.

"There was an extreme fear at the BBC, that if you ever wanted to do anything about Israel or Palestine, editors would say: 'If you want to pitch something, you have to go through Raffi and get his signoff," another journalist explained.

In one case, Berg downplayed Amnesty International's accusation that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

Berg chose a headline that stated, "Israel rejects 'fabricated' claims of genocide," to describe the Amnesty report and failed to post the story for 12 hours after it was written to suppress its online reach.

The journalists interviewed by Drop Site also noted that the Amnesty report was not covered on the BBC's flagship news programs—BBC One's News At One, News At Six, or News At Ten or its flagship current affairs program, BBC Two's Newsnight.

"Anyone who writes on Gaza or Israel is asked: 'Has it gone to edpol [editorial policy], lawyers, and has it gone to Raffi?'" another journalist said.

Raffi Berg, who wrote a book praising clandestine Mossad operations, wields great power to influence perceptions of Israel's war on Gaza because the BBC news website is the most-visited news site on the internet, with over 1.1 billion visits in May alone.

Israel's war on Gaza has killed over 45,000 Palestinians, the majority women and children, and flattened large swathes of the besieged enclave.

The pro-Israel bias imposed by Berg is evident in the language used to cover the war.

While stories "prominently" used words like "massacre," "slaughter," and "atrocities" to refer to Hamas, they "hardly, if at all," used them "in reference to actions by Israel," wrote Rami Ruhayem, a Beirut-based BBC Arabic correspondent.

In another case, the BBC published a story with a headline that hid Israel's responsibility for killing an entire family in a missile strike.

"Israel Gaza: Father loses 11 family members in one blast," the headline stated.

As early as January 2020, mainstream news outlets reported China had been using an “army of drones… to spray disinfectant over villages and cities that have been hit by coronavirus,” per The Daily Mail.

Drones were also used to spray for COVID-related purposes in the U.S., Indonesia, and France.

Interestingly, the UNICEF document says there is “little evidence” to support the effectiveness of using drones for disinfecting purposes.

This could potentially imply the drones were being used for a purpose other than to disinfect.

Russia’s once-dominant gas supply to Europe via Ukraine, which flowed for four decades, is set to end on New Year’s Day with the collapse of a contract between the two warring countries that paid out billions to Moscow in gas revenue and to Kyiv in transit fees.

Europe will receive the last Russian gas sent via Ukraine’s pipelines in the early hours of the new year as the continent braces for a plunge in temperatures that could hasten the drain on gas reserves.

The cold snap later this week is already shaping up to be one of the toughest tests for Europe’s gas markets in recent years, coming after a period in which reserves have been burned up at the fastest rate since the energy crisis began.

Privatized Panopticon: Corporate Surveillance and the “Right-Wing Domestic Terrorism” Narrative

Possible engineered ‘right-wing domestic terrorism’ narrative aside, who needs the FBI when corporate America supplies not just the means of the weapon but also the heroic surveillance to track it all? DOGE already paying dividends that we'll cheer on.

Las Vegas police’s glowing praise for Musk is a masterclass in soft power. They thank him not just for locking down details on the exploded Cybertruck, but for handing over “all the video from Tesla charging stations across the country.” All. Of. It.

Let that sink in. Musk isn’t just selling cars; he’s quietly erecting a nationwide surveillance apparatus disguised as progress. And in moments like this, when corporate America steps in as the surveillance arm of the state, the narrative writes itself: heroes of “innovation” swooping in to save the day while feeding the machinery of mass data collection.

The implications are dystopian. Privatizing state surveillance means Big Tech isn’t just in bed with Big Brother, they’re building the bed, making the rules, and profiting at every turn. Tesla is much more than just a car company; it’s a network of data-collection nodes that feed into narratives of control.

9/11 handed the Patriot Act to the state, a blank check for mass surveillance in the name of “security.” Now, they’re going full fascist, handing the Patriot Act to corporations to surveil the citizens. No warrants, no FISA, no accountability, just private empires harvesting and weaponizing data under the pretense of “helping.” Orwell couldn’t have written it better.

A Net Zero ‘nudge unit’ that used scare tactics during the Covid pandemic has received a £100,000 contract from the Government to encourage the public to take up heat pumps.

The team was launched in 2010 under Lord Cameron’s administration in an effort to design policy interventions informed by human behaviour and has widely been viewed as a success in Whitehall.

However, Simon Ruda, a behavioural scientist who co-founded the unit, suggested in 2022 that scare tactics had been misused during Covid lockdowns to ensure the public complied with the rules.

FAYETTEVILLE, NC — In a move intended to give the historic military base a moniker more in line with its recent contributions to the country, the Pentagon announced today that it would be renaming the former Fort Bragg as Fort Death to America.

Originally named Fort Bragg before being renamed Fort Liberty in 2022, the army base has drawn negative attention in recent months for being the post where multiple domestic terrorists had previously been stationed. Pentagon officials believed a new name was in order to reflect the base's apparent goal.

The bird flu fear campaign is in full swing with doctors all over the internet pushing the narrative. Same tactics, new headline. Stay alert, stay informed and most importantly do not fall for the fear-mongering.
