The Medieval Age began after Rome fell and ended with the Renaissance. Life ran on feudalism: kings granted land to nobles for loyalty and knights, while most people were peasants working the fields. Castles, knights, and villages shaped the landscape. The Church held huge power. Monasteries preserved knowledge while the Crusades, Black Death, and booming trade towns transformed Europe. Far from 'dark', it laid the foundations of modern civilization.

In this report, I travel to the heart of the Biblical land to visit the ancient city of Shilo, which was the original capital and site of the Tabernacle before Jerusalem. I walk through the archaeological dig site and examine the historical evidence that proves the Jewish people's ancient connection to this land, long before modern political discourse began. This is a story the mainstream media refuses to tell. I then report directly from the modern-day Shilo Settlement, which sits on the hills overlooking the ancient ruins. We discuss the global media's narrative of "illegal settlements" and why those claims fall flat in the face of history. I also address the courage and determination of the people who are returning to and settling these ancient hills. Finally, I take you to a starkly different location -the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem-to explain the financial fight we face in bringing you the uncensored, unspun truth from the ground. Watch now to see the history the establishment doesn't want you to see.

My speech to the Iranian diaspora earlier this month. Persia is ancient. One of the oldest and greatest civilisations; rivalling Athens and Rome. Its Zoroastrianism was the first monotheistic religion. In our own interests the Mullahs must go.
