Iran International and the Money Behind the Narrative War
Americans usually think about confrontation with Iran in terms of sanctions, warships, nuclear sites, and diplomatic ultimatums. But an equally important front doesn’t involve firepower or government threats: the media space. Here, political narratives are built, repeated, legitimized, and eventually translated into pressure. That’s why the financing of the media network Iran International deserves closer scrutiny in Washington. The question is not whether Iranians deserve independent journalism.

The Iranian people are not waiting to thank Trump
For many Americans, war with Iran is still explained through a dangerously simple story: foreign pressure turns the people against their government, bombs open the road to “freedom” and, sooner or later, Iranian streets rise up to applaud Washington and Tel Aviv. This is not analysis. It is geopolitical fantasy. What the past two years have shown, from the 12-day war of June 2025 to the current US-Israeli confrontation with Iran in 2026, is far more complex.

What Davos delegates missed when they discussed green finance for business
Every year, leaders from politics and business come together with economists, investors and even celebrities at the World Economic Forum in the Swiss resort of Davos. One of the five key themes of this year's event was safeguarding the planet. The forum's own figures suggest that human-caused climate change has cost the planet US$3.6 trillion (£2.9 trillion) in damage since 2000 alone.

On Thursday, Oct. 3, I participated in a prayer vigil outside the Essential Conference. The Essential Conference was organized by the Center for Christian Virtue and held in Columbus, Ohio. Funded in part by the Heritage Foundation, the conference was a platform for promoting Project 2025. Project 2025 is a diabolical attempt to recast American society from one that aims to see and welcome all, to one that is centered around a small, select few.

Should I invest in Gold?
Some online sources, principally TikTok and YouTube Shorts, claim that gold can be a good asset to help us beat inflation and economic uncertainty in the long run. Here we explore the truth of this and outline what some of the options might be to get involved in owning gold or other precious metals. We should start with the obvious point, it is not a good idea to hold an entire portfolio as gold; nor is it a good idea for those who struggle to save from their salary to consider.

'War of the Ring: The Card Game'
War of the Ring: The Card Game is a spin-off from Ares Games’ epic War of the Ring tabletop game. Whilst game times for the parent game run too many hours, this card version brings it down to about an hour, once you know what you are doing. War of the Ring: The Card Game is a card game (surprise, surprise) for two to 4 players that perfectly encapsulates the essence of the Lord of the Rings. It is fun to play yet still offers some tricky tactical decisions.
