Ministers suppressed a report after intelligence chiefs warned that climate change could drive mass migration to Britain and trigger a nuclear war in Asia.

The study, entitled Global Biodiversity Loss, Ecosystem Collapse and National Security, was put together with the help of the joint intelligence committee, which oversees MI5 and MI6.
Initially due to be published last autumn, it was blocked by No 10 for being too negative.

But a full, internal version of the report, seen by The Times, goes further, suggesting that the degradation of rainforests in the Congo and the drying up of rivers fed by the Himalayas could drive people to flee to Europe, leading to “more polarised and populist politics in the UK” and putting “additional pressure on already strained national infrastructure”.

It noted that Britain’s large south Asian diaspora could make it an attractive destination to people from the region.

The internal version also warned that collapsing ecosystems could motivate acts of eco-terrorism in Britain, as well as drawing Nato into conflicts over remaining breadbaskets in Russia and Ukraine.

Described as a “reasonable worst case scenario”, the report said that many ecosystems around the world were so stressed that they could soon pass a tipping point, after which they would inexorably degrade no matter what humans did to protect them. Forests in Canada and Russia might pass a tipping point by 2030, as might glaciers in the Himalayas that fed rivers on which two billion people depended, the report suggested.

Global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security

Sailors at Sausalito’s Schoonmaker Marina noticed that “Izanami” spelled backwards is “I’m a Nazi.” The German-built detail made it worse. Ellison quietly renamed the yacht to Ronin and later sold it to Venezuelan banker Victor Vargas.

This 1999 footnote is resurfacing now because Ellison’s family recently acquired Paramount and TikTok’s U.S. operations. At 81, the world’s fourth-richest person has spent lavishly on anti-aging research in hopes of reaching 150, a $30 million safari park in Florida, $24 million in Pierre Hotel units, and 98% of the Hawaiian island of Lānaʻi.

Unlike the 1976 nationalization, Chavez’s approach rewrote established agreements, undermining foreign confidence and operations. Western energy companies reduced their exposure or exited altogether, taking capital, technology, and expertise with them. This was especially damaging because U.S. Gulf Coast refineries were uniquely suited to process heavy crude, having adapted to it over decades. American refiners replaced Venezuelan oil with Canadian heavy crude and domestic shale production, weakening Venezuela’s most natural export market.

During the oil boom of the 2000s, this appeared sustainable, with the country’s per capita income rebounding and Chavez’s social programs winning broad popular support. However, the policies also steadily hollowed out the oil industry’s capacity, while hundreds of thousands of the country’s skilled workers emigrated. The “oil strikes” in Venezuela to overthrow Chavez in 2002 and 2003 led to the country facing large layoffs in PDVSA. “This was the beginning of the large brain drain in Venezuela when many highly skilled industry workers left their home country to work for multinational corporations like ExxonMobil and Chevron,” according to the Borgen Project

Political conditions worsened sharply in the 2010s, as Venezuela drifted further toward Moscow and Beijing. After Maduro took office in 2013 following Chavez’s death, the U.S., under former President Obama, began targeting Venezuelan officials with sanctions in 2015. The sanctions later expanded under Trump to reduce PDVSA’s access to financial markets, insurance, spare parts, and technology. Cut off from the West, Venezuela leaned more heavily on China and Russia, often accepting discounted deals that provided short-term liquidity but little long-term investment or capacity expansion.

When oil revenues collapsed mid-decade, the government resorted to money printing to cover deficits, fueling hyperinflation in the late 2010s that wiped out savings, wages and purchasing power. Strict currency controls also required export earnings to be converted at artificial exchange rates and deprived PDVSA of dollars. With demand from China and other countries never replacing that of the United States, Venezuela’s oil industry was effectively cannibalized to sustain the state. “Until 2017–2018, national access to international wealth was subsidized at the expense of PDVSA’s viability. Since then, through monetized credit from the Central Bank and the reorientation of the exchange rate policy, an attempt is being made to save the oil company at the cost of an abrupt internal adjustment,” stated a 2025 study in the journal Resources Policy.

The National Confederation of Disabled People called the action “incomprehensible,” and said pedophiles are now awarded a higher government disability pay than some people who have received organ transplants.

The Labor Ministry said categories added to the expanded list – that also includes pyromaniacs, compulsive gamblers, fetishists and sadomasochists – were included for purposes of medical assessment and used as a gauge for allocating financial assistance.

On Thursday, Ritter wrote on his website that “today my banking institution of 26 years, Citizens Bank, declared that they were ending their banking relationship with me.”

“My accounts were zeroed out without explanation,” he added.

Ritter said the move may have been a unilateral de-risking decision by Citizens Bank, but that it “does not preclude federal involvement.”

He noted that the “Northern District of New York empaneled a Grand Jury targeting me back in August 2024,” on suspicion of violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act. He believes federal authorities had obtained all his banking information through Grand Jury subpoenas.

“What I am beginning to suspect is that someone in the FBI, fully armed with the totality of my banking transactions… “tipped off” Citizen’s Bank about “suspicious activity” that resulted in Citizen’s Bank issuing a SAR [Suspicious Activity Report],” Ritter wrote.

The Big White Lie: The Deep Cover Operation That Exposed the CIA Sabotage of the Drug WarAccording to former DEA official Michael Levine, the Mexican drug Cartel was a “family affair”. Both Carlos and Raul were prominent members of the Cartel. And this was known to then US Attorney General Edward Meese in 1987 one year prior to Carlos Salinas’ inauguration as the country’s president.

When Carlos Salinas was inaugurated as President, the entire Mexican State apparatus became criminalised with key government positions occupied by members of the Cartel. The Minister of Commerce in charge of trade negotiations leading up to the signing of NAFTA was Raul Salinas Lozano, father of Raul Junior the Drug kingpin and of Carlos the president.

And it is precisely during this period that the Salinas government launched a sweeping privatisation program under advice from the IMF.

The privatisation program subsequently evolved into a multibillion dollar money laundering operation. Narco-dollars were channelled towards the acquisition of State property and public utilities.

Richard Barnet of the Institute for Policy Studies, testified to the US Congress (April 14, 1994) that

“billions of dollars in state assets have gone to supporters and cronies” (Dallas Morning News, 11 August 1994).

These included the sale of Telefonos de Mexico, valued at $ 3.9 billion and purchased by a Salinas crony for $ 400 million.(Ibid).

Raul Salinas was behind the privatisation programme. He was known as ”El Señor 10 por Ciento” [Mr. 10 Percent] “for the slice of bid money he allegedly demanded in exchange for helping acquaintances acquire companies, concessions and contracts [under the IMF sponsored privatisation program]”(The News, InfoLatina, .Mexico, October 10, 1997).
[…]
But there is more than meets the eye: while the Bushes and the Salinas have longstanding ties, Wall Street was also involved in the laundering of drug money:

“A U.S. official said the Justice Department has made significant advances in its money-laundering investigation against Raul Salinas de Gortari and has identified several people who can testify that the former first brother received protection money from a major narcotics cartel.

“If the U.S. were to indict Mr. Salinas, it could have implications for a Justice Department investigation into possible money laundering by Citibank, where Mr. Salinas had some of his accounts. Citibank, a unit of Citicorp , has denied wrongdoing.” (WSW, April 23, 2015)

The involvement of Citbank in the money laundering operation is documented by a Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs Report (US General Accounting Office “Private Banking: Raul Salinas, Citibank, and Alleged Money Laundering” Washington, 1998).

FTW October 24, 2000 – The success of Bush Vice Presidential running mate Richard Cheney at leading Halliburton, Inc. to a five year $3.8 billion “pig-out” on federal contracts and taxpayer-insured loans is only a partial indicator of what may happen if the Bush ticket wins in two weeks. A closer look at available research, including an August 2, 2000 report by the Center for Public Integrity (CPI) at www.public-i.org, suggests that drug money has played a role in the successes achieved by Halliburton under Cheney’s tenure as CEO from 1995 to 2000. This is especially true for Halliburton’s most famous subsidiary, heavy construction and oil giant, Brown and Root. A deeper look into history reveals that Brown and Root’s past as well as the past of Dick Cheney himself, connect to the international drug trade on more than one occasion and in more than one way.

Discussions between Ankara, Riyadh, and Islamabad have reached an “advanced stage,” with a strong likelihood of a formal agreement. If finalized, the pact would bring together three states with distinct yet complementary strategic assets.

Saudi Arabia would anchor the alliance economically and politically as the only Arab member of the G20 and a central actor in the Islamic world. Pakistan would contribute its status as the only Muslim-majority nuclear-armed state, along with its growing defense-industrial base. Turkey, meanwhile, would add operational experience as the second-largest military in NATO and a country deeply involved in multiple regional theaters.

In September 2025, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan signed a Strategic Mutual Defense Agreement (SMDA), committing both sides to treat an attack on one as an attack on the other—an arrangement conceptually similar to NATO’s Article 5, though without NATO’s institutional depth. Turkey’s potential accession would significantly elevate the agreement’s strategic profile.

“Make Money Laundering Great Again” (MMLGA)

According to Mother Jones, “President Donald Trump’s return to power has cast doubt on the future of the most monumental anti-kleptocracy reform push in decades… Increasingly, the United States has become the epicenter of the multitrillion-dollar offshore economy”.

Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is a bureau of the U.S. Treasury with a mission to “safeguard the financial system from illicit activity, counter money laundering and the financing of terrorism”.

On March 6, 2015, four months before Donald Trump announced his candidacy for the Republican Party nomination, a controversial FinCEN report regarding money laundering violations at Trump’s Taj Mahal’s Casino was released:

“The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) today imposed a $10 million civil money penalty against Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort (Trump Taj Mahal), for willful and repeated violations of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA). In addition to the civil money penalty, the casino is required to conduct periodic external audits to examine its anti-money laundering (AML) BSA compliance program and provide those audit reports to FinCEN and the casino’s Board of Directors”

In a carefully documented February 26, 2017 Newsweek Report (during Trump’s first mandate):

“President Donald Trump made tens of millions of dollars in profits by allowing Colombian drug cartels and other groups to launder money through a Trump-affiliated hotel in Panama, according to a new investigation by the organization Global Witness.

The report said the drug cartels purchased hotel units to hide the origins of money earned through drug trafficking and other criminal activity, and Trump is estimated to have earned tens of millions of dollars from the deals.

Some observers [2017] are saying it is time for Congress to begin investigating the president’s finances and potential conflicts of interest.

On January 3rd, 2026, American helicopters landed in Caracas.
Thirty minutes later, a president was in custody.
And $17.3 trillion in oil reserves quietly changed hands.

This video explains why that event wasn’t an anomaly — but a symptom.

For over 2,000 years, every major empire has risen and fallen through the same mathematical, repeatable cycle. Different flags. Different technologies. Same stages. Same ending.

Rome.
The Dutch Republic.
The British Empire.

All followed the same path.
And the United States is now deep into the final phases.

In this documentary-style analysis, we break down the seven-stage empire collapse model and show — using history, data, and incentives — exactly where we are today and what comes next.

In this video, you’ll learn:

• The seven-stage cyclethat has ended every debt-based empire in history
• Why sound money always precedes imperial dominance
• How social expansion quietly turns into fiscal overreach
• Why currency debasement always follows military overextension
• How resource acquisition through force signals late-stage decline
• Why Venezuela’s oil seizure fits a centuries-old pattern
• What capital flight looks like before collapse becomes obvious
• How fiscal dominance traps central banks with no good options
• Why hyperinflation or default are the only historical endgames
• How wealth transfers occur during monetary resets — every single time

This is not a prediction.
This is pattern recognition.

Empires do not collapse suddenly.
They collapse predictably— and then all at once.

The Venezuela operation was not the beginning.
It was confirmation.
