Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.

We want, at this stage, to comfort and dispel any talk about panic among the public regarding the events in the general Near Eastern region with respect to the conflict which is taking place there, this is, in our opinion, not a large conflict and likely will not lead to a wider conflict. The issue is straightforward and revolves around forms of Nationalism which have been allowed to fester in that region for far too long, and which has spawned an extremist form of politics both in the US and UK, which we are all aware of.

The situation essentially revolves around the Islamic Republic of Iran’s domestic energy posture and electricity production both for its domestic and external export markets. It seems that the Jewish nationalists and elements of American Nationalist movements do not want to see a stable Iran on the International stage.

The rest of the World, which certainly is a lot more powerful and influential on the International stage, has no problem with Iran producing domestic energy by Nuclear means, as the nation of the Islamic Republic of Iran has a long and proven record of Nuclear energy research and development that does not entail weaponisation of Nuclear material, the Government and people of the Islamic Republic of Iran have publicly stated they will not weaponise Nuclear material and have done so for religious reasons, which has long been accepted by the International Community.

Of course, you will have to make your own judgements about why there is a conflict in that region, and why there is always a conflict of some kind in that region.

I can assure you, it is not the result of religion, faith, tolerance, love and understanding.

But then, you already knew that.

It is the local community that needs to own the commitment to education.

Terence Bunch — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 09:57:00 +0000

In any situation, the People will try to find answers to difficult issues with the available resources they have, so education is going to be the forerunner of any understanding, and education is, fundamentally, an issue that relates to self confidence and mutual respect. No matter what the People believe, understanding Internationalism is always going to resolve to a Universalist principle that carries meaning on the International stage, not for the puritanical beliefs centered on national short term position, but on the essential welfare of the overall community.

Because the International Community is, a community.

Have a nice day.

There is no form of Nationalism here at the Peace, nationalism does not form any part of our politic, and isn’t useful to anything we do or say.

Nationalism is chaos and serves no-ones interests.

Celebrating women behind the lens this International Women's Day

Terence Bunch — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 10:20:00 +0000

Alpha Female Award winner and shortlist revealed

It's International Women's Day, and although we celebrate women in photography every day here at the World Photography Organisation, today we shine an extra bright spotlight to bring their talent to the fore.

The Alpha Female Award, focused on supporting women photographers, was created by the World Photography Organisation and Sony US through their Alpha Universe’s Alpha Female programme.

The winner receives Sony Digital Imaging equipment and will be on show at the Sony World Photography Awards 2026 exhibition in London’s Somerset House.

Congratulations to German photographer Fiona Stappmanns, winner of this year’s Alpha Female Award. Fiona’s practice is rooted in a passion for outdoor sports, vast landscapes and wildlife. Her work sits at the intersection of conservation and nature - capturing moments of both beauty and fragility to inspire people to protect the world around them.

In this compelling black-and-white photograph, Stappmanns captures the moment a black rhino diverts from the herd during migration and crosses the Sand River in Kenya’s Maasai Mara alone, the wide angle exposing the vastness of the landscape around the animal.

Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error.

Our judgement on this issue is that the US and Jewish nationalists have gone too far this time, there is no public consumption of their position in any form, Mr Trump and Mr Netanyahu cannot and should not expect public support for their political or military position.

We say to Mr Trump and Mr Netanyahu that the policy you are following does not command public respect and that you should abandon your policy as soon as possible, you have made political decisions based entirely on your own simplistic interpretations of your party political diatribes, the way the world actually works does not sit in any position you may call your own.

The World is certainly not going to be lead by nationalist dogma, today, tomorrow or any other time.

We, here at the Peace, have far better prospects ahead.

“The disappearance of Israel as a Zionist project, through war, cultural exhaustion or demographic momentum, is... plausible... Many Israelis see the demise of the country as not just possible, but probable.”

Terence Bunch — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 16:36:00 +0000

We don’t accept the notion of a Zionist state of Israel. There is no Zionist state, just a confrontational form of nationalism that is clearly attempting to prove itself by violence, terror, assassination and historical revisionism. You do not need to be an expert in International politics to know that Nationalism is a stopped bottle that has no quantity in any direction. If you elect in any capacity, you are by default in service to the International Community in one sense or another. No nation can be an island in and of itself, no polity is a finished quantity in and of itself. No nation may lay the claim that it, and only it, is a service of God, for all the land on Earth, is the creation of God.

It is at this point that we choose to divert away from the US and Jewish nationalist states, and as Internationalists we choose instead to harbour a better prospect for ourselves and our natural global friends. This is, for the most part, a concept that US and Jewish nationalists have no control over, can do nothing about, and are powerless to change.

The Iranian people are not terrorists, the Iranian state is not a terrorist entity, the Iranian existence is not the property of the US state or its military. But the Islamic Republic of Iran is not perfect either, and whom among any of you could ever claim the same. The US military can bomb and bomb as much as they want, but if they want control of the Iranian state they are going to have to go there, and stand on their own two feet. We all know that Mr Trump and Mr Netanyahu are unable to do that, their military is unable to do that, their people are unable to do that.

So, we have a point of contention here, recent events in the Islamic Republic of Iran have shown only one thing, that Mr Trump and Mr Netanyahu are unable to live without war, we all know why this is, if competence is the truest measure of the political class, then Mr Trump and Mr Netanyahu are the worst examples of what is existentially lacking in that vocation. Mr Trump is a businessman in the hostelry and service industry, providing services that are extraneous to any of the essential industries that drive national growth, Mr Trump does not make, manufacture or trade in essential goods, does not manufacture and distribute things like integrated circuits, foodstuffs and core products, he sells space in hotels, and all of the associated paraphernalia that goes along with the service sector, Mr Netanyahu is an old soldier, whom has personally disgraced his own hands with the muck of his nationalist fantasies.

What they are doing now is a manifestation of their own existential space, the World should not have to be putting up with its peaceable existence being wrecked by the inadequacies of a chronically troublesome minority.

As far as the legality of this is concerned, well you tell the truth don’t you!

Either the religious leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran died peacefully of old age and you co-opted his death to mislead the entire world, or you murdered him.

Which shall it be?

God has placed no limits to the exercise of the intellect he has given, on this side of the grave.

Terence Bunch — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 19:44:00 +0000

Yes, so we share the Russian news media’s assessment, in addition we believe that the US nationalist and Jewish nationalist states have taken their nationalist ideologies and expanded them into the wider region in which they claim an existence, for no other reason than to cause infrastructure damage to the states that peacefully inhabit that area. There is no principled position with either of those actors, nor any political framework in play, nor any logic, nor any tactical or strategic imperative.

The ‘plan’ they are using is entirely based on chaos, with a speculative and exploitative follow up in media management terms which would then by used to smother any outcome with generalised political nonsense that suits no-one in either the short, medium or long term, but favours the nationalist political outlook in purely populist terms.

The issue for both Mr Netanyahu and Mr Trump is one of basic competence.

And we have to say the publics reaction, as it is it being presented by US social media corporations, is entirely chaotic and anarchic.

We shall move toward the legality of this next, and in particular acts of criminality which exist in the domestic sense and which should not exist in International form, as it has been enabled by the nationalist and its rather foolish and erratic self beliefs.

And turning to other events around the World from our equally esteemed and qualified colleagues in the News media...

The ministers pointed out the unpredictable consequences of fighting for the region.

"The foreign ministers exchanged views on the situation around Iran, which has developed as a result of aggression of the United States and Israel against the Islamic republic. It was stated that the unprecedented escalation of the conflict is fraught with unpredictable consequences for the entire region. Concern was expressed about the risks of involving third countries in the conflict, primarily the Arab states of the Persian Gulf," the ministry said in a statement.

Hajj

Terence Bunch — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 19:10:00 +0000

Hajj is the sacred pilgrimage performed by Muslims at the holy mosque of Masjid al-Haram in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.

It is one of the five pillars of Islam, which means that it is obliged of every Muslim at least once in their lifetime (so long as they have the means). Hajj takes place during the same period each year – during the month of Dhul Hijjah, the twelfth month in the Islamic Calendar. Hajj begins on the 8th of Dhul Hijjah and lasts until the 13th of Dhul Hijjah.

This year, Hajj is is expected to take place between 25th May 2026 to the 30th June 2026 in the Gregorian Calendar, depending on the sighting of the moon.

Think nothing of it, dearest Citizen of the World.

The Republican Party of the United States, a political organisation linked to Mr Donald J. Trump, the current holder of the office of President of the Federal body of the US Government, is now officially a banned organisation.

The ban was put into place after the head of state of the Islamic Republic of Iran was assaulted by US and associated nationalist peripheral organisations, after they were caught exercising a policy which has no international qualification.

The ban will remain in place permanently.

For the time being, and while these issues are formally confirmed, the US Republican movement is immediately banned from exercising any statement that associates in any way with content published here, and they will not claim indirectly or directly any connection with this site or domain. The US Republican movement should consider that an imminent ban is highly likely to be in place against their movement at this site in the following hours.

Seems straightforward, and as it is clearly straightforward, this is how we shall proceed.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has the capacity to generate electricity, for its own domestic population, and also for export. A healthy electricity generation capability is a good thing, it provides electricity and generates an income, it stabilises the internal infrastructure and further provides for a stable internal marketplace. The fact that the internal populace is Islamic or that the Government is an Islamic entity has no bearing on these internal basic factors. What the American nationalist Republican movement or the English Parliament thinks of that is completely uninteresting and useless as far as international politics is concerned. If you are from the Republican movement and you live in America, you are destroying your country from within by holding onto these septic anti-Iranian and poisonous views, call yourselves a kind of fifth column if you will, a treacherous and unpatriotic burden to yourselves and the people you purport to represent. If you are from the English Parliament and you also hold these views, take comfort from the fact the International Community is about as interested in what you think of the world as it is interested in the common turd from a stray dog in the street. Influence, in international terms comes and goes and for you it has very definitely gone, and, in my view, for very good reasons.

So bother yourselves not with your own inadequacies and concern yourselves with what you can genuinely do for your people and nations, over the longer term.

Seek a peaceful resolution to these issues and make a lot of hard work for yourselves building a stable and purposeful existence for the people of that region to be going on with, hard work is a good thing. Just because people have voted for you isn't impressive, people will just vote for the sake of it in a system that is fundamentally void of any true political choice, yes, that means you in the UK and US single party state.
