There is a giant problem that commentators are ignoring. The United States' trade deficit is of incredible proportions and is only sustainable because the dollar is the world's reserve currency - a status it is going to lose.

The US trade deficit in 2024 was

There are two drivers behind my support for Scottish Independence.

The first and most obvious is to see our ancient land restored to the place it held so long in the community of free and self-governing nations, and end the colonial exploitation of our peopl

UN Peacekeepers Watch Civilians Massacred in Lebanon
YouTube video by Craig Murray UN Peacekeepers Watch Civilians Massacred in Lebanon

On 26 January heavily armed UN Peacekeepers watched as Israeli forces shot dead 26 unarmed civilians in Lebanon and wounded 147 others.
It should be a massive scandal, but the legacy media has completely ignored. I asked the UN the vital questions that nobody else is asking.

What the Hell is That?
YouTube video by Craig Murray What the Hell is That?

Tiny Lebanon is a country with the area and population of Yorkshire or Connecticut and is much poorer than either.

Yet the USA is building the second largest Embassy, of any nation, anywhere in the world there. For 5,000 staff.
Why?

We investigate

Ceaseless Fire
YouTube video by Craig Murray Ceaseless Fire

The devastation of Southern Lebanon by Israel has received extraordinarily little coverage. Plus there have been more than 1500 breaches of the ceasefire here, Israel shows no signs of withdrawing as agreed and is building fortifications and taking more land.

The Bank that Israel Bombed.

Israel has bombed all 38 branches of the Al Qard Al Hassan Association. I investigate why it is so determined to destroy a savings and loan institution.

Six Weeks in Lebanon
YouTube video by Craig Murray Six Weeks in Lebanon

Reflections on Lebanon
In my six weeks here there has been a fundamental change in the balance of power in the Middle East, in favour of the USA and Greater Israel, while the Holocaust of the Palestinians continues.
I try to absorb this and take stock.

The End of Pluralism in the Middle East - Craig Murray A truly seismic change in the Middle East appears to be happening very fast. At its heart is a devil’s bargain – Turkey and the Gulf States accept the annihilation of the Palestinian nation and creati...

The video starts half way through, for some reason. You can slide it back to the start.

Baalbek, Lebanon

This is the second mini documentary we have made in Lebanon.
This one covers our report from Baalbek just before the so-called ceasefire, when 60 civilians had been killed in the small city the day before by Israeli bombing.

I have just joined bluesky as another vehicle to give people a chance to read my writing. Currently reporting from Beirut under the bombs.
I don't mind if you disagree with me, but I do want you to think and be prepared consider new information and arguments.
