Dec. 30, 2025 /Mpelembe Media/ — Private associations and “secret brotherhoods” remain highly relevant and controversial in the modern era.

However, you may want to independently verify how AI specifically impacts the social standing of such groups. Continue reading →

Dec. 29, 2025 /Mpelembe Media/ — The Metropolitan Police is currently facing a legal challenge from the Freemasons regarding a new policy that mandates officers to disclose their membership in the organisation. This directive was introduced by Sir Mark Rowley to address concerns regarding institutional impartiality and historical allegations that such secret ties could foster corruption. In response, the Grand Lodge has applied for a High Court injunction, arguing that the rule constitutes religious discrimination because members must possess a faith to join. The organisation further accuses the police force of legitimising unfounded conspiracy theories and failing to conduct a proper consultation before implementation. Conversely, the Met maintains that the policy is a necessary step to bolster public trust and ensure that personal loyalties do not conflict with official duties. This dispute highlights long-standing tensions surrounding masonic influence within British law enforcement, dating back to investigations such as the Daniel Morgan murder inquiry.

The warning is based on a new white paper, “Hacienda vs. The People,” which exposes how the Spanish Tax Authority (Hacienda) allegedly uses the Impatriate tax regime, known as the “Beckham Law,” as a predatory scheme, enticing foreign talent with guaranteed favourable tax treatment only to retroactively deny the certificates and impose massive tax demands. Furthermore, Amsterdam & Partners has sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Treasury expressing concern that Hacienda’s use of Chinese state-owned Huawei servers risks compromising U.S. taxpayer data shared by the Internal Revenue Service. The report highlights that this systemic extortion is driven by an unethical bonus system that rewards tax inspectors based on revenue collection and sanctions. Continue reading

A significant partnership extension between the Public Interest Registry (PIR), which manages the .ORG domain, and the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), Europe’s largest hotline dedicated to removing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) from the internet. This expanded initiative, sponsored by PIR, aims to disrupt criminal organisations that operate commercial CSAM websites by leveraging domain registrars. Specifically, the programme will grant domain registrars free access to IWF’s Domain Alerts program to help them quickly identify and remove domains involved in the distribution of CSAM, thereby making it more difficult for criminals to establish “brands” online.
