The Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), under the leadership of the Moscow Patriarchate, has evolved into a central instrument of Russian state influence, operating well beyond its religious mandate to advance Kremlin interests abroad. Across Europe and the US, the ROC is recognized for its role in disseminating pro-Kremlin narratives, conducting espionage, and recruiting intelligence assets. No longer limited to pastoral duties or cultural preservation, the Church now operates as a transnational ideological actor whose activities align closely with Russian foreign policy goals. Their global network has a headquarters in NYC and they have been expanding across parts of the US mainly as a result of people converting from other faiths. Young American males have been joining Russian churches promising 'absurd levels of manliness.' Links: BBC.com. US ROCOR Parishes List. read more

Roger Waters has voiced his support for Palestine Action, risking prosecution and a potential 14-year prison term, since the organization is now proscribed as a terrorist group in the UK under the Terrorism Act 2000. As of 5 July, membership of Palestine Action, or expressing public support for the group, is a criminal offence in Britain. On 5 July, police in London arrested 29 people in Parliament Square for holding placards stating, "I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action." In a video post on 5 July, former Pink Floyd legend Waters says, "For the record, I support Palestine Action," calling them "a great organization" and stating the "non-violent" group are "absolutely not terrorists in any way." Waters then displays a piece of cardboard: ROGER WATERS SUPPORT PALESTINE ACTION' and "Parliament has been corrupted by agents of a genocidal foreign power! STAND UP AND BE COUNTED. IT'S NOW!!!" The cardboard is dated "5th July 2025." read more

The UK police arrested the Reverend Sue Parfitt, an 83-year-old retired Anglican priest for displaying a sign reading, "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action." I wonder when the Bobbies will come for Roger Waters (first they'll have him sign some autographs for them).
And this is what a "dangerous Jew-hater" looks like. Hmph.
