Speaker 1: Good afternoon. Today is the fourteenth of August twenty twenty four.
0:12
We are twenty two minutes past one. Welcome to this
0:16
special edition of UK Column News. Many of you will
0:20
know we had to put out a newsflash this morning
0:22
to say that we were experiencing some problems. We won't
0:26
table to give you a live news but we're delighted
0:29
to be here to record the news and obviously this
0:33
will be appearing on the UK Column website in due course.
0:38
So I am in part of the UK Column studio
0:41
a little bit that maybe you haven't seen before, and
0:44
I'm delighted to have Vanessa Beiley and Charles Mallet with
0:48
me on video link. So let's do our best to
0:52
take you through this news. And I'm going to kick
0:55
off with talking about Ukraine and this is You're about
1:02
to see a little video clip to do with the
1:05
Ukrainian incursion into Russia. And this has been a major
1:09
part of the headlines over the weekend. But all is
1:13
not quite as simple as it seems. Let's have a
1:15
little listen to this video clip.
1:18
Speaker 2: This is war. As the Ukrainian incursion into Kursk hits
1:23
a wall. The rest of the front line is still active.
1:28
Ukrainian troops enjoyed a quick blitzkrieg into Russian Kursk, where
1:32
Ukraine was able to take control of eleven settlements in
1:35
pre war Russian ground, but after the initial breakthrough, Ukrainian
1:40
troops haven't achieved their tactical objective. Ukrainian allies are disappointed
1:45
with the Ukrainian Armed Forces offensive in the Kursk region.
1:50
The Ukrainian Armed Forces offensive in the Kerk border region
1:54
has been stopped after the rapid redeployment of reserves and
1:58
is turning into another meet for the Ukrainian troops. The
2:02
North Group has attracted units with combat experience to repel
2:06
the attacks rather than hastily assembled brigades with a two
2:10
week training course as is usually done in the Ukrainian
2:14
Armed Forces.
2:16
Speaker 1: So there you have it. Essentially, the Ukrainians crossed the
2:21
border in the direction of Kersk. Possibly up to about
2:26
fifteen thousand troops moved in through that breach, and Western
2:31
commentators at least have said that the objective of the
2:34
Ukrainians was to go as far as they could towards Kersk,
2:38
which has a nuclear power station facility, so if captured,
2:43
this would be a big coup for the Ukrainians, but
2:46
in reality they didn't get anywhere anywhere near that facility
2:52
before Russian reinforcements had come into the area and slowed
2:56
down the Ukrainian advance considerably. Now Zelenski's been claiming that
3:02
the Ukrainians took about one thousand square kilometers. Other observers
3:08
are saying it was nearer to five hundred, but nevertheless
3:11
a significant amount of territory taken, but claims about twenty
3:17
eight communities being taken by the Ukrainian forces. This is
3:22
all over statement because this is an area of minimum
3:27
minimal population and very very tiny communities. Most of it
3:32
is simply rural and wooded areas. But the BBC, as
3:37
we can see on screen, made bigger this if we
3:39
just highlight some of this. So the BBC here we
3:44
entered easily say Ukrainian troops involved in the Russia in
3:48
cursion Ukraine's incursion. Where does it go from here? Ukraine
3:53
claims to control one thousand square kilometers and an earlier
3:59
article from Steve Rosenberg Ukraine's Incursion shows Russia war is
4:04
not going to plan. But if we actually go to
4:07
Ukraine itself for reports, things start to look very different.
4:11
So his the Kiev Post all lies on Kersk, but
4:16
Dnets in trouble. Special special Forces source says a little
4:22
bit of a tongue twist of that one. The Russian
4:24
Army is advancing into the Dnets region, heading towards the
4:28
strategically important city of Kroftsk. And if we have a
4:33
look at some of the comments that go with this article,
4:35
this is where it gets very interesting, because remember this
4:39
is a Ukrainian forces man speaking while the Ukrainian Army
4:44
is making rapid progress in Russia's Cursk region. The Russian
4:48
Army has made significant gains at the cross front in
4:52
Ukraine's Dnets region, and the situation is becoming dire. An
4:56
individual from a Special Forces battalion told the Kiev Post.
5:02
The city of Pugetrovsk, the capital of the district of
5:05
the same name, is a transport hub, lying on the
5:08
main road that's an important supply route to other Ukrainian
5:12
outposts in the region. The source tol Kiev Post on
5:17
conditions of anonymity that per cross city and other settlements
5:21
through the district. It's about five hundred and eight square miles.
5:26
As a total region are under constant enemy air strikes
5:30
that means Russian air stripes where cluster bombs are being used,
5:34
and the man goes on to say that Ukrainian defenders
5:37
on the Potrovsk front have been able to leave their
5:40
positions for ninety days due to intent shelling and the
5:45
use of stripe drones, and they go on to say
5:48
it's very difficult to deliver food, water and ammunition to
5:51
the positions due to the risk of artillery fire and
5:54
loitering munitions. Resupplies done using unmanned aerial systems and ground
6:00
based remote controlled drones. The source said that evacuation of
6:04
the wounded is carried out by ground drones, and logistics
6:08
and frontline surveillance are complicated due to the Russian's massive
6:14
fire power. So this is very clear that on the
6:18
main part of the fronts in the war in Ukraine,
6:22
the Russians are causing huge problems for the Ukrainian and
6:26
it then says that a Ukrainian lieutenant with the call
6:30
sign ELECTS on his telegram channel on Tuesday reports that
6:34
the situation is darkening. Everything is very grim on the
6:38
Drovs front. Without exaggeration, battles are emerging Fordifka within the
6:46
village itself, and he goes on. As the article goes on.
6:51
Sales reported on the same day on telegram by deep
6:54
state and analysts using satellite footage Russian troops have occupied
6:59
the village is a Lizard Chance Ivanivka and Siva Domivka.
7:05
But essentially what we're seeing is a massive advance by
7:11
the Russians, which we need to understand because this is
7:13
the important part of the battle. Whilst the Western media
7:17
is begging up on the Ukrainian incursions in the Kursk area. Now,
7:23
what's surprising about this report is that the Ukrainian source
7:29
is actually now reverting to social media on telegram and
7:34
other places in order to report accurately what's happening on
7:38
the battle front. And if we have a look at
7:41
the Kiev Post article itself, they also include this little
7:46
clip which shows an animate and animation of the Russian attack.
7:52
Now this might seem very small, but what we need
7:55
to remember is this is just one of the many
7:57
fronts on the Ukrainian battle lines themselves, and the important
8:03
thing is that the Russians are advancing every day. It
8:07
might be two hundred meters, it could be five hundred meters,
8:10
it could be a kilometer seven kilometers, but it is
8:13
happening each day on many regions in the front, and
8:17
in many cases Ukrainian defenses are collapsing. Meanwhile, we are
8:22
being told that the Ukrainian cursion over the border and
8:26
into Russia in direction of Kersk is the important attack,
8:30
and this is incorrect. Meanwhile, we just have a look
8:34
at these video clips showing the horrors of the battle
8:38
and the front itself, where the Russians are using fab strikes,
8:44
they're using artillery, and of course they are using drones
8:48
to attack Ukrainian positions across the front. Really horrific fighting
8:55
on the main part of the battle lines.
9:24
Speaker 3: Lott lot of started past past.
10:14
Speaker 1: So the last video they're showing Ukrainian armor being destroyed.
10:19
That Russians have suffered huge losses themselves, but at the
10:23
end of the day they are able to replace those losses,
10:27
whereas the Ukrainians can't. Now on screen, part of the
10:31
horrors of life in Ukraine because the recruitment squad's very
10:36
brutal in lifting young and old from the streets and
10:39
dragging them off to the front where they're either going
10:42
to die or be mutilated unless they are very, very lucky,
10:46
because this is a brutal war, and this is something
10:49
that the BBC is not reporting that within Ukrainian society.
10:55
Ukrainians are now setting fire to the recruitment vehicles. Often
11:00
these are of neighbors. Neighbors are part of the recruitment teams,
11:04
and these vehicles are being set on fire in protest,
11:07
but the snatching of relatives to take them to the front.
11:11
And we need to remember where this war has got
11:14
because even Trump is now talking about five hundred thousand dead.
11:19
The majority of those casualties Ukrainian, probably in the ratio
11:22
of three four to one. But I have seen on
11:27
social media allegations that so much space is now being
11:30
taken up for graves in Ukraine, that this is causing
11:35
problems with areas of land that have already been handed
11:40
over to Western corporations for future development or at least
11:46
rebuilding of Ukraine. So absolutely horrific the situation in Ukraine.
11:52
UK the US and the West are fomenting this war,
11:57
and of course if we dare to stand up and
12:00
speak out about it, we're likely to come under We're
12:04
likely to get in trouble with the UK government, at
12:07
least due to the increasing censorship under Kiir Starmer's new
12:12
labor regime. So, really horrible things happening in this war
12:18
in Ukraine. This is fermented by the West, the US
12:22
and the UK in particular pushing for this war. And
12:25
we're now into half a million dead. But if you
12:29
dare stand up and speak out about this, you're likely
12:32
to come under the watchful eye of Kir Starmer's new
12:37
labor government. Charles, let's bring you in here because you're
12:41
looking at a dissent and really what the government is doing.
12:47
Speaker 4: That's right, Brian, Yes, good afternoon onr Thanks very much
12:49
for bearing with us. And the events of the last
12:52
few weeks have certainly prompted the government and the police
12:56
and the media to act in a very particular way
13:00
on certain sides of the debate. Or the argument might
13:03
consider that this is a demonstration of the effect state
13:07
can have when it puts its mind to it. I
13:09
think when one looks at detail, it looks like a
13:12
sense of a complete loss of proportionality by police. The
13:17
criminal justice system, on the one hand, can be seen
13:20
to deliver an effect when called to, but is it
13:23
the right effect? Is it appropriate? Or does it really
13:26
look like it is the great big boot of authority
13:30
stamping on dissenting voices. So we start with a tweet
13:33
from the National Police Chiefs Council NPCC, effectively showing off
13:38
that they've arrested over a thousand people and already charged
13:42
over five hundred. So those prison spaces that we've talked
13:45
about previously are now being vacated in order to move
13:49
people in, in many cases on very very tenuous and
13:53
spurious groans. But nonetheless, I've highlighted the text at the
13:55
bottom of this which says, we told you justice would
13:59
be swift and we wouldn't tolerate this type of criminality. Now,
14:03
I think the two things that come out of there,
14:04
first of all, are a rather menacing tone, which I
14:07
think does not fit with the model that police really
14:11
should be espousing to work towards, which is one of
14:17
a cordial relationship with the public. Instead, it suggests a
14:20
sort of bully boy mentality. And the other one I
14:22
think to be drawn out of this is the specific
14:25
reference to this type of criminality, and in effect they're
14:29
saying that, of course they can if they choose to
14:33
deal with this or something else. But the inference being
14:36
that there's plenty of stuff that they choose not to
14:39
deal with, a constant gripe about policing and the political
14:43
nature of it in this country. So we'll move on
14:46
now to hear what Gavin Stevens, the chair of the
14:49
NPC said about this, talking about working hard to bring
14:52
the disorder to an end. Arrests are just getting started again,
14:55
sort of slightly showing off, and they won't stop till
14:58
communities get the justice they deserve. Well, it's a highly
15:01
questionable statement, or indeed one that's very much open to interpretation.
15:06
But the point he's trying to make here is he's
15:08
he's linking violence and spreading of what he's calling online hate.
15:13
And the np CC has gone on to talk about
15:16
regional crime units. If we just go click on one,
15:19
we see that they've got units set up specifically to
15:22
deal with this, and the text in the next slide
15:25
says that specialists have been tasked with pursuing online offenders
15:29
and so called influencers. Well, it's the media and the
15:33
state that are calling them influencers and deciding that they
15:37
are spreading hate and inciting violence. This is what I
15:40
want to come on to so next we'll look at
15:42
the Serious Crime Act of two thousand and seven, which
15:44
in effect amended the law with regard to incitement. There's
15:47
a difference between inciting racial hatred, which of course is
15:51
something that's cropped up a lot recently, because that's covered
15:53
by the Public Order Act nineteen eighty six. Specifically, here
15:55
we're talking about the Serious Crime Act, which defined two
15:58
offenses and sections forty four and four five, the first
16:01
one being intentionally encouraging or assisting an offense. So it's
16:05
and we need to consider what this is, and I'll
16:07
explain why because of how some people have in effect
16:10
fall and fiul of the law. But somebody commits this
16:12
offense if they do an act capable of encouraging or
16:15
assisting the commissioning of an offense, and also that the
16:19
person intends to encourage or assist its commission. Very key
16:23
phrase there, to intend that, and both things must happen
16:27
for the offense to be complete. But then they go
16:31
on to qualify it. But I say that the offender
16:33
is not to be taken to have intended to encourage
16:35
or assist the commission of an offense merely because such
16:37
encouragement or assistance was a foreseeable consequence, so that section
16:42
forty four. The next slide is forty five, which is
16:44
slightly different in that the Act is again capable of
16:48
encouraging or assisting, but it's the belief that the offense
16:52
will be committed and that the Act will encourage the
16:55
commission of such an offense. Now, related to this, we've
16:59
had a couple of instances of people that are being
17:02
referred to as certainly far right and online influencers and whatnot,
17:07
one of whom was a woman in Cheshire, the other
17:09
of whom is David Clues, who runs the Unity News Network,
17:14
and effectively he has been what's called docks. He's had
17:17
he's had several attacks from mainstream publications, which in a
17:22
sense are if they're taken, you know, on a reasonable basis,
17:26
and they do actually attack the point and not the
17:29
man fair enough. In this case, the specific references have
17:33
been made to his family, which have had nothing to
17:37
do with any of his online presents or his news broadcasting,
17:42
and yet they have been dragged into this. So this
17:44
is the This is effectively the level that we've got to,
17:47
and I'll just go on to explain why this is
17:50
a huge problem. But first of all, just to look
17:52
at what he's been described as doing here is fanning flames.
17:55
But we'll just go on and have a look at
17:56
his Twitter or the un n Twitter over the last
17:59
few days. First of all, we see that he's describing
18:03
he's simply reporting that there's a presence out in Southpork,
18:06
there's anger expresses itself over the murder of three young children.
18:09
And then the next one says that the Southport riots
18:14
is effectively comparing the way that violence was treated by
18:18
police in two different situations. And then finally he's talking
18:23
about effectively state violence here with a picture of kissed
18:27
armor and Zelenski saying that extreme violence, murdering and maiming
18:32
and people is okay as long as the government does it. Now,
18:35
the issue with clues here is that these journalists can
18:40
conduct this sort of activity with absolute impunity because of
18:43
the gift that is the Online Safety Act twenty twenty three,
18:47
which we look at the next slide, and then we'll
18:49
just go straight on to the provision in section one
18:52
seventy nine, which states that a person commits an offense
18:56
if they send a message and that it conveys information
18:59
that the person knows to be false. Now that is
19:03
absolutely critical to this. Further, that the person intending is
19:08
intended the message or the information in it to cause
19:11
non trivial psychological or physical harm to a likely audience. Well,
19:16
this means, in effect, this takes some of the provisions
19:20
from the Malicious Communications Act nineteen eighty eight and the
19:22
Communications Acts two thousand and three and rolls them up
19:25
into this offense. But the most significant detail comes next
19:29
in section one eighty which says, in part one, a
19:33
recognized news publisher cannot commit an offense under section one
19:38
seventy nine. So even if the article that was printed
19:41
in the Sunday Times, the Daily Record and The Guardian
19:43
all attacking David Clues. So don't mean to make the
19:46
point about the individual, but the fact is that they
19:48
can do this because even if they knew the information
19:52
was not false, and with Clues there was effectively a
19:55
reference to sort of the suggestion of criminal activity which
19:59
was absolutely not borne out by the events of some
20:02
years ago. But they not only have the intent of
20:06
putting out false information, but to intend to cause harm.
20:09
And yet there's no comeback because the Online Safety Act,
20:12
which is exactly what we've been warning about for years
20:15
rules this out, so to look if you want the
20:18
background to all of this, I'd suggest that you go
20:20
into the censored section on the UK column website which
20:23
has a really in depth analysis of the timeline for
20:27
all of this. Now concurrent with this, just updated yesterday
20:31
was the guidance on radicalization and Prevent. We just have
20:35
a look at the government website updated thirteenth of August,
20:38
how the Prevent program supports people who are at risk
20:40
of becoming involved with terrorism. So again trying to capture
20:43
everybody within this effectively, within this sort of construct. And
20:49
we'll just look quickly at the referral form itself. So
20:53
I've asked concern or collaboration. I mean, there's more than
20:56
a whiff of nineteen thirties Germany here getting people to
21:00
port on their family, friends and neighbors. But the referral itself,
21:03
particularly in the next slide, has a number of phrases
21:08
talks about extremist groups or people that worry you, but
21:11
of course doesn't qualify it. So essentially trying to push
21:14
people into a situation of concern about others, travel plans
21:18
to a conflict zone, and also the threatened anyone with violence,
21:24
shown interest in hate crimes, extremists or terrorism, or use
21:28
their mobile, telephone, Internet or social media in a way
21:32
that worries you. Well, effectively, this is so absurdly subjective
21:37
as to be almost meaningless. But the next side we'll
21:42
just go on to how effectively sort of ludicrous this
21:45
has become in terms of putting the tale on the donkey.
21:49
And we've got the Daily Mail here reporting that Tommy
21:51
Robinson and Nigel Farage being considered or scrutinized by the
21:55
security services. The mid fears that Putin is actually behind all.
21:59
This slide shows just a little bit of text from
22:02
this saying that questions remain unanswered over who's financially supporting Robinson. Well,
22:07
this was something we dealt with on UK columnies a
22:09
few weeks ago. The Israel will be very very clearly
22:13
stating that they have funded Robinson in the past, so
22:16
I don't know why there'd be any debate or confusion
22:19
over that. But then some looking to Putin arguing he
22:22
benefits from domestic unrest in Britain, Worth pointing out, of
22:25
course that Nigel Farage has come out very much as
22:28
a pro or taking a pro Israel stance at the moment.
22:33
And what we'll do now is we'll just have a
22:34
look at the former security sorry secret Intelligence Service I
22:40
six operative Christopher Steele, who speaking to a Times radio
22:44
journalist about his views on whether or not Russia has
22:48
anything to do with this.
22:49
Speaker 5: What happened in Southport? Was it caused such psychological or
22:54
was designed to cause such psychological damage this attack and
22:58
it is subject of an investigation now on children as
23:02
a Taylor Swift dance party. Will they be looking the
23:05
security services, if you like, at one of those you know,
23:08
it's a jigsaw of what's been happening in this country,
23:13
and will they be looking potentially for links between what
23:15
happened in Southport as being something directly designed to.
23:22
Speaker 6: Be used almost and as a sort of lifting point,
23:26
a bouncing off point for the riots that we've seen
23:29
in this country as a way of drawing, you know,
23:31
whipping up tension and hostility on the streets of Britain.
23:36
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I think bear in mind that Britain
23:38
is probably Ukraine's strongest ally and is really material in
23:41
terms of Ukraine's ability to fight Russia in the East particularly,
23:47
And so yes, they'll be looking at things like that.
23:49
I think it would be far fetched to think that
23:51
an incident like Southport was manufactured by a foreign power. However,
23:56
the foreign power might well be looking at trigger incidents
23:59
in which they can exploit situations that occur spontaneously in
24:04
order to create a bigger political effect, and I suspect
24:07
that may have been happening here. One of the theories
24:09
that has been going around is that Russia was indeed
24:13
planning to destabilize the UK and look for excuses to
24:16
do so, and that that was planned for this summer
24:19
prior to an expected October general election.
24:23
Speaker 4: And of course, so there we go, Christopher Steele in
24:25
effect doing exactly what David Clues and others have been
24:30
pilloried for and in some cases arrested for, which is
24:34
to report on things that people are saying still there
24:39
talking about rumors, effectively sort of on the wind. And
24:44
yet he can do that. The Times Radio has no
24:46
issue doing that. So it is very much a case
24:49
of rules for THEE but not for me. Now, I'd
24:53
just like to finish up by saying that if you
24:56
want to know more about this, Christopher Steele in particular,
24:58
who has been sort of scrutinized by UK column over
25:03
the years. There are two recent articles that I should
25:05
draw attention to, first of all on the Integrity Initiative,
25:08
an article written by Mike Robinson back in twenty eighteen,
25:12
and then Johnny Edmore with a piece entitled Pablo Miller
25:16
The People working alongside the real James Bond. So that's
25:21
where this segment gets to. But in effect, an absolutely
25:25
appallingly disproportionate response by the state, and of course, as
25:29
Brian has said many times on the news in the
25:31
last few weeks, an absolutely enormous and deliberate distraction from
25:36
the underlying causes of the unrest in the first place.
25:39
Speaker 1: Chiles, thank you very much for that excellent summary. We're
25:44
in troubled times, aren't we, with a government which is
25:47
it's got the veneer of respectability. It claims to be
25:51
there as a labor party looking after the people, but
25:54
everything it has done so far in this very short
25:58
time in government is to close things down on the public,
26:04
and particularly any of the public that dare to ask questions. Meanwhile,
26:08
we've got the BBC absolutely able to do what it
26:12
pleases on a multi billion pound budget. Vanessa, welcome to
26:18
UK column news, and you're going to take us through
26:22
BBC fake news before getting in some of the horrors that,
26:26
of course that the BBC just doesn't or will not report.
26:32
Speaker 8: Yes, I mean, you know, the BBC is infamous for
26:37
particularly as you've mentioned many times before, it's BBC Media
26:41
Action basically an infiltration tool into countries like Syria that,
26:47
after the scouting done.
26:49
Speaker 9: By BBC Media Action would then be basically targeted for
26:53
regime change and destabilization.
26:57
Speaker 10: We've covered this a number of times, but this is
27:00
actually on the BBC World News website.
27:03
Speaker 9: The report was generated by BBC Persia, which is known
27:07
by most Iranians to be let's say, the flagship of
27:10
the propaganda that is being waged against Iran. And of
27:13
course one of the main stays of that propaganda is
27:18
the head covering rule.
27:21
Speaker 10: They always call it a hit jab. You don't have
27:23
to wear a hijab in Iran.
27:25
Speaker 9: I spent two weeks there about two years ago, in
27:30
Tehran and in a number of other cities, and the
27:32
head scarff rule is simply that just cover your head.
27:35
Speaker 10: You don't have to wear a veil, you don't have
27:38
to wear even a full hid jab of any description.
27:44
Speaker 9: And I have to say that I didn't see any
27:46
morality police and the majority of women in Tehran, in
27:50
particular in many of let's say the wealthier areas, but
27:54
also in the markets, and the zooks were.
27:56
Speaker 10: Not wearing any kind of head covering.
28:00
Speaker 9: BBC has put out this quite incredible headline for me
28:04
Iranian woman paralyzed after being shot over hijab over hijab.
28:09
Speaker 10: I should have underlined this, and then let's have a
28:13
look at the actual report.
28:15
Speaker 9: So this was reported by Baham Gobadi, who's actually based
28:19
in the UK when you look at his x account,
28:22
formerly with Reuters, now with BBC Persian. So, a mother
28:26
of two has been left paraplegic, according to the BBC,
28:29
after being shot by Iranian police over an alleged violation
28:34
of the country's strict hijab rules. A source with knowledge
28:38
of the case has told the BBC how many times
28:42
have we seen BBC and legacy media reports using these
28:47
anonymous sources to basically back up the main stay propaganda
28:52
against target nation.
28:53
Speaker 10: And of course this is.
28:54
Speaker 9: Coming in at a time that Iran is, if you like,
28:57
center stage, with the potential of escalation between Israel and Iran.
29:02
After the assassination of the Hamas chief negotiator Ishmael Haniir
29:07
in Tehran two weeks ago.
29:09
Speaker 10: So let's have a look at what the actual police
29:13
report said. Unfortunately I've only got it in.
29:18
Speaker 9: Pressian, but basically a number of activists went immediately onto.
29:23
Speaker 10: X to say that that's literally not true.
29:26
Speaker 9: She was inside a fully tinted glass windows car and
29:31
ignored an anti theft holt, so the police believed the
29:34
car was stolen and then tried to escape. When you
29:37
actually read the police report itself, they talk about the
29:41
fact that she ran through red lights, she ran through
29:44
police stops, and bear in mind they couldn't see who
29:47
was actually in.
29:48
Speaker 10: The car, so when they got to her, she was injured.
29:53
Speaker 9: In the police report itself, it doesn't actually mention any shooting,
29:56
so potentially she was injured simply through damage to the
30:01
car or crashing the car. It has literally nothing to
30:05
do with her hitjab. That's the very important point here.
30:09
And you know, even if there is some question over this,
30:12
the BBC is not reflecting that question.
30:14
Speaker 10: The headline is very unambiguous.
30:18
Speaker 9: It deliberately gravitates towards this having something to do with
30:23
the head covering, which actually it really doesn't according to
30:28
information that I've received, and there's no verification, there's no substantiation.
30:34
So you know, this is the rigorous journalism as I've
30:37
been told multiple times by the BBC when they question
30:40
my narratives from inside Syria that the BBC is constantly
30:45
boasting of. I'll leave people to make up their own
30:48
minds whether they consider the BBC to be fit for
30:52
purpose or not.
30:55
Speaker 1: I'll just come back to you Vanessa. Of course, I
30:58
remember well a couple of years ago the BBC pumping
31:01
articles out about the jabs in Iran, and we tackled
31:07
the BBC at the time and said that basically their
31:10
reports were inflammatory and inaccurate. Of course, eventually the BBC
31:17
just simply refused to answer, but to us, it was
31:20
very clear that the agenda of the BBC was to
31:23
use the hijab as a wedge to start unrest in
31:29
Iranian society, and of course that mirrors exactly BBC media
31:35
action working inside Syria to engage those who were challenging
31:39
the government. So it's terrible times when you have a
31:46
multi billion pound media organization funded by the taxpayer that
31:51
is then going to effectively tell lies to the people
31:54
paying for it. But take us on through really sad
31:58
things that have been happening in the Middle East over
32:01
the last couple of days.
32:03
Speaker 10: Yep.
32:03
Speaker 9: So you know, focus again on the ongoing almost ten
32:07
month genocide in Gaza and the occupied territories by the
32:12
Zionist forces. So on August the tenth day, three hundred
32:16
and nine of the war, there were actually two attacks
32:20
on schools which were housing displaced refugees from other areas
32:25
of Gaza that had fled to these schools for shelter,
32:28
and of course they were told these.
32:30
Speaker 10: Were safe places.
32:31
Speaker 9: But we're going to focus on what has been called
32:34
the Alfada massacre, which is the dawn prayers for Muslims,
32:38
which resulted in over one hundred people.
32:42
Speaker 10: Killed being killed.
32:45
Speaker 9: When Israeli forces targeted the Attabayin school in Gaza City
32:50
during dawn prayers.
32:51
Speaker 10: More than two hundred people were injured.
32:54
Speaker 9: The school sheltering thousands of displaced individuals, was hit while
32:58
people were praying, leading to extensive casualties and devastation. And
33:03
we're just going to shower a very short video. It's
33:07
not particularly distressing.
33:09
Speaker 10: But it will just show the school itself and how
33:14
tightly packed the.
33:15
Speaker 9: School was with civilians and of course the majority again
33:19
being women and children when it was targeted by Israeli airplanes. Now,
33:41
it has been reported by the Gaza Civil Defense that
33:44
the Israeli army used three bombs weighing two thousand pounds each.
33:49
So these are the Mk eighty four US supplied bombs
33:53
that are designed to basically destroy armored vehicles and three
34:01
of these, so that's I think nine hundred and seven
34:04
kilos per bomb designed to basically shatter armored vehicles and
34:10
tanks was dropped on these thousands of displaced, unarmed refugees.
34:15
You can imagine the absolute devastation and in fact that
34:20
it was so great that it was so horrendous bodies
34:24
were literally torn apart. If we look at the next report,
34:32
every seventy kilograms of remains of.
34:35
Speaker 10: Body parts is considered a martyr. What does this actually mean?
34:39
Speaker 9: Because the rescue teams couldn't identify many of the human
34:43
remains collected due to the intensity of the bombing, the
34:47
doctors at the Baptist Hospital were not able to identify
34:51
each marta individually. Instead, the doctors have started collecting body
34:55
parts in plastic bags in giving seventy kilos of remain
35:00
to the family of a martyr who's gone missing. Just
35:04
let that sink in for a second. You don't receive
35:07
the body of your dead child or your dead father, mother, brother, sister.
35:13
Speaker 10: You receive body parts that weigh seventy kilos.
35:16
Speaker 9: And there was a young man from Garza who went
35:19
on Twitter to express what this means to the people
35:22
of Gaza. So on the left, I apologize, you do
35:27
see the bags that are being produced with the body parts,
35:29
So he actually said, we are no longer numbers, we
35:33
are approximate numbers.
35:35
Speaker 10: Absolutely horrifying.
35:37
Speaker 9: How do the Zionis forces justify this kind of heenous massacre. Well,
35:45
in the Jerusalem Post article, the idea has basically sad
35:52
of course, is that they were targeting terrorists that were
35:56
taking shelter.
35:57
Speaker 10: In the school.
35:58
Speaker 9: In this one art they have named multiple so called terrorists.
36:03
They named twelve more terrorists killed in Gaza school strike.
36:07
No answer on the civilians. Well, let's see how how
36:14
truthful those claims are.
36:16
Speaker 10: This was an article in Press TV living on Lies.
36:21
Speaker 9: Israeli claim of killing Hamas members at the Gaza City
36:24
School debunked and then let's have a look at the
36:26
actual content of the article, which focuses in one part
36:30
on Rami Abdu, chairman of Euromid Monitor, human rights organization
36:36
that investigates the crimes of the Israeli forces in Gaza,
36:41
said four of the victims singled out by the Israeli
36:43
military as HAMAS members were from the Jaburi family, whom
36:46
he knew personally. They never engaged in any political or
36:49
military activities. Another one was my neighbor from the Habib family,
36:54
who had a serious dispute with Hamas, he noted. Another civilian,
36:58
Abdu said, was Abdul Kareem Hamad, a devout man who
37:02
sympathized with HAMAS but had never joined its ranks. So
37:06
he basically says the Israeli regime lives on lies, And
37:10
if you go to his Twitter account or his x account,
37:13
you can see a number of names singled out demonstrating
37:18
the lies of the.
37:19
Speaker 10: Zionist entity having carried out of again one of the
37:23
worst massacres. But we're seeing massacre after massacre.
37:26
Speaker 9: And the following video is actually taken from the euromed
37:30
Monitor website and x account, and that just shows a
37:34
section of their investigation into this massacre, and it basically
37:40
goes into great detail in the lies that are being
37:44
produced by the Zioner's forces, and there is another actual
37:50
X post where they produce all the names, particularly of
37:55
the children that were killed in this attack.
38:55
Speaker 1: Okay, Vanessa, thank you, thank you very much for that report.
38:58
It is absolutely tragic what is going and it's horrific
39:02
and it's tragic.
39:03
Speaker 7: What is going on.
39:06
Speaker 3: For me.
39:06
Speaker 1: For Israel to claim that it knows the identities of
39:10
people in the very buildings, it's just incredible. You may
39:14
know some, you may know one or two, but to
39:17
be able to say we knew exactly who was in
39:20
that building in the prevailing conditions is just, to me
39:25
an incredible claim, just incredible. We need to stop it.
39:31
I think the really sad thing is that we're not
39:33
seeing any numbers of politicians in the UK or the US,
39:38
or indeed Europe wide who are calling for an end
39:41
to the violence. What we seem to have is more
39:44
and more cause for more weapons and munitions to go
39:48
into Israel, and of course those supplies are led by
39:53
the US and the UK. They need to be stopped. Well,
39:58
we're going to say to our audience today. Thank you
40:01
very much for joining us, and of course we are
40:04
only able to do this by the support of our
40:07
paining members. A membership of five pounds a month is
40:11
part of the small sum that keeps UK Column as
40:14
a whole going. And our intention for the future is
40:18
despite everything that mister Stalmer is trying to do, our
40:22
intention is to expand the UK Column and to expand
40:27
reporting about what is actually happening in the United Kingdom
40:31
and worldwide. You can help us, of course by sharing
40:35
material we're putting it out across the major platforms. Facebook
40:39
at the moment is effectively shadowed banning us, so we'll
40:43
just cross that one off the list, but we're working
40:46
to see whether that actually can be restored. Anybody can
40:50
help us by making a purchase from the UK Column shop,
40:54
and anything you buy is of help to us, so
40:59
if you haven't been there before, police consider doing that.
41:02
We'll also encourage our viewers and listeners to buy a
41:05
copy of the Agenda twenty one Your Life in Their
41:09
Hands booklet. Many people have bought this. They have given
41:13
us lots of complimentary responses about the content, the detail
41:19
and the style, and this is encouraging us to produce
41:23
different additions in the coming months, and we'll tell you
41:26
more about that in due course. Now an interview. I
41:31
think this one is yours, Charles Alistair Williams.
41:34
Speaker 4: Indeed, yes, So i'd really encourage you to listen to
41:36
Alista Williams, who gives a fascinating personal insights into his
41:41
career in comedy, but also how the scales fell from
41:44
his eyes when he realized that, in fact the entire
41:47
system was controlled, but also very interestingly how comedy is
41:50
used as a weapon with which to control and shape
41:54
the agenda. And then he goes on to discuss his
41:58
effectively sort of deep Chris beliefs and how that's affected
42:02
great change in him. So i'd really encourage you to
42:04
listen to that.
42:06
Speaker 1: Okay, and you've got a couple of adverts here Died
42:09
Suddenly and the attack on food and farmers.
42:12
Speaker 4: That's right, Yes, Died Suddenly is to be an art
42:14
exhibition in London in November, and if you're interested in
42:19
helping with that, or you've got the information, then please
42:22
get in tarks with Jake Bern at Jake h Fern
42:25
at yahoo dot co dot uk. But it's specifically to
42:29
do with the excess death situation in the UK and
42:32
how it has not been addressed. And yes, as Brian says,
42:35
then in September, on sixth and seventh of September, there's
42:39
to be a symposium run by or hosted by Children's
42:42
Health Events so CHD dot TV Attack on Food and
42:46
Farmers and how to fight back, so essentially how to
42:48
take control of your food supply and some a range
42:51
of amazing speakers. So I think you'd learned a lot there,
42:53
so I would encourage you to take part.
42:55
Speaker 1: In that, okay, And also we'll give people a reminder
42:59
of the U on location event in Bristol on the
43:02
nineteenth of October twenty twenty four and early bird tickets
43:08
are still available for that at a discount, so that's
43:12
an attractive option. But what do we want to do Well,
43:15
obviously we want a very good and an exciting event,
43:19
but we the uk Con team, also want to be
43:23
able to meet members of our audience and this is
43:27
a very important thing for us, meeting people in person,
43:31
sharing stories and also coming together in order to discuss
43:38
and report what's happening in the world. Now, Charles, let's
43:42
bring you back because you are going to be talking
43:46
about food security, which should be an important issue for
43:50
all of us.
43:52
Speaker 4: That's right, Bran, Yeah, I mean it is a very
43:54
important issue. I was hoping to be able to have
43:57
a certain amount of statistical information on harvest UK, having
44:00
reported earlier in the year that the outlook was looking dismal.
44:03
Unfortunately it takes an age to get hold of such statistics.
44:06
Speaker 10: But the.
44:08
Speaker 4: Mood seems to be that wheat harve is probably down
44:11
in about fifteen percent, but of course that's on very
44:14
low planting in the first place, so we'll see on that.
44:17
But significantly, the government recently have announced that they're going
44:22
to conduct a rapid review to meet the environment at target,
44:26
So straight away their priority seems to be the environment
44:30
and not farming. And I do make that distinction specifically
44:33
because in effect, there should be no need for it
44:35
to be a binary choice. Should be possible to improve
44:38
both at the same time. But that seems to be
44:40
something the government is unwilling to do because it means
44:42
banging heads with industry, which of course controls government. But nonetheless,
44:47
from this we see on the next slide just the
44:49
text of I mean sort of banal really, but engagement
44:52
with stakeholders across the environment's nature, farming, resources, waste and
44:55
water sectors working hand in glove with businesses, local authorities
44:59
and civil across the country to develop new, ambitious plans
45:03
to save nature. So here we go again, banging the
45:05
same drum. Everything's going to die, Everyone's going to die,
45:08
and it's all your fault. But in order to address
45:11
the problem, will put an enormous number of people in
45:13
the same room and expect to come out with one
45:14
sensible solution. Very unlikely to work. But the point is,
45:18
as I say that the government seemed to be suggesting
45:20
that it's either nature or food and not both. Of course,
45:23
there is a way in which farming and nature can
45:27
work absolutely hand in hand, and i'd encourage you to
45:29
listen to interviews with both Julian Rose and Angus Macintosh
45:33
on the UK Column website, and there are a few
45:34
more in the pipeline on exactly that subject. So the
45:37
other thing that's come out recently is horticulture statistics from
45:40
last year, so I should qualify this twenty twenty three.
45:43
But given that food security is all about being able
45:48
to produce food for the people that are in the
45:51
country at the time, so therefore the right amount of
45:54
food for that number of people would also access to
45:57
it in terms of cost. That is what food security is.
46:00
We really addressing it. So statistics last year and this is,
46:03
as I said, just horticulture, but vegetables down nearly five percent,
46:07
and the area used for vegetables down over one hundred
46:09
thousand hectares six point five percent, fruit grown down twelve percent,
46:14
the area down thirty two thousand hectares. Import of vegetables
46:18
up last year by thirteen percent, fruit up by three
46:21
and a half, and the export of vegetables was down
46:24
by twenty two percent and fruit was down four percent.
46:27
So obviously economic consequences to the lack of export or
46:31
the reduction in export. But the significant detail is at
46:33
the bottom, which is that there's a ten percent increase
46:36
in the value of home produced vegetables, so effectively a
46:39
smaller area to produce, fewer vegetables and fruits coming out
46:43
of the ground, but greater revenue received as a total
46:48
of the amount that was grown. So that just gives
46:51
an idea of what's being called inflation. Now there's not
46:56
time to sort of go into exactly why that has
46:59
been caused and whether it's genuine or artificial. The next
47:02
slide to just so's chart to show that you know,
47:04
effective trend in hortic culture. This government, sorry, the previous
47:07
government had put out measures to have a serious uplift
47:11
in horticulture. But they're not really talking about using the
47:13
same amount of land. They're talking about food grown under
47:16
stress conditions, indoors and effectively producing food and vegetables in
47:22
conditions that are not natural and cause well call in
47:26
to question the whole idea of human health, in particular
47:28
particular that there's the bioavailability of any of the nutrients
47:32
within the food produced. And as I say, the population
47:36
of course is what makes food security secure or not.
47:40
Now are we anywhere near that? So the government have
47:42
recently produced statistics last month which will just look at
47:47
on the screen now the changing population produced on the
47:50
sixteenth of July and from it if we just click
47:53
on one that they are very keen to avoid taking
47:57
any responsibility of what's happening. So they say that the
47:59
popular is growing and is projected to reach seventy million
48:02
in twenty twenty six. Well that's quite soon. Population is
48:05
also aging and these factors will strain public services. Well OK. Fine,
48:11
But if we go on to the next slide, we'll
48:13
see the chart which shows, of course that there is
48:18
a significant increase in population, but that is because circle
48:22
bear at the top right. Net migration is projected to
48:24
add around three hundred thousand people each year in the
48:27
long term, and they say in about a decade's time
48:29
natural change may become negative. Now by natural change they
48:33
mean the difference between the birth and death rate and
48:36
that's projected to dip. Yet there's still saying that an
48:39
average of three hundred thousand people per year, which of
48:41
course would be a reduction on last year statistics in
48:44
terms of migration. So food security cannot be considered in
48:49
simple yield of produce from the UK. The population has
48:55
to be taken into account. There seems to be something
48:56
the government absolutely refuses to do, and of course by
48:59
putting the supposed environmental concerns first, it's very easy to
49:04
see how food security is actually going to become more
49:06
of a food scarcity issue. So we'll absolutely see where
49:10
this goes as the harvest concludes for this year and
49:12
we look towards Awseman winter.
49:15
Speaker 1: Charles, there can be no doubt putting this to a
49:19
as a question too. But there can be no doubt
49:21
that the government is deceiving the public over its true agenda.
49:27
The figures are produced in one form to leaders in
49:30
one direction, we're saving the planet. But the real agenda,
49:34
it's an underlying agenda which isn't fully declared to the public.
49:39
Speaker 4: Absolutely, and I mean this is what we've seen very
49:42
much over the course of this year in particular. And
49:44
actually one thing I could have mentioned was the enormous
49:46
confusion that DEFA put out the SFI Sustainable Farming Incentive
49:51
initiatives that basically all the new schemes. I think there
49:54
are four hundred and seventy new forms that could be
49:57
considered by farmers who want to do this. And what
49:59
they've change is the ability to just roll one thing
50:02
onto the next year. So they are they are bamboozling,
50:05
exactly as you say, and they are very much saying
50:08
one thing and doing completely another. And this is this
50:12
is now part of the course, but this insistence that
50:15
we must do something about the environment, but effectively that
50:19
the bluff in suggesting that all of these environmental measures
50:23
will not affect food security. Of course they will.
50:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you for that, well, Vanessa let's bring you
50:29
back in and you're going to be talking to us
50:32
about escalation effectively in the Middle East. What are you seeing?
50:38
Speaker 10: So yeah, I mean we're still seeing escalation in the region.
50:42
Speaker 9: Orbit it's you know, we haven't yet had the response
50:46
from the resistance factions of course led by Iran, but
50:52
we've seen a lot of movement from the United States
50:55
to of course bolster its defenses for its partner in
51:01
crime in Israel. So Defense Minister Austin orders additional naval
51:08
assets to the Middle East and mid Rising tensions. He's
51:11
ordered additional naval assets, which includes the USS Georgia submarine,
51:18
and he's told the USS Abraham Lincoln, which is an
51:22
aircraft carrier straight group, to get a move on. Basically,
51:26
if we have a look at the text of the
51:28
article itself, so that basically confirms what I've said.
51:34
Speaker 10: The order came following a phone call on Sunday.
51:37
Speaker 9: So Sunday, the day that they bombed the school in
51:40
Gaza and massacred one hundred civilians and injuring terribly two
51:47
hundred others. So a conversation between Austin and the Israeli
51:53
Minister of Defense eure of Gullen Austin reiterated the US
51:57
commitment taking every possible step to defend Israel, not to
52:02
keep peace in the region exactly the same situation as
52:05
in Ukraine. Noted the strengthening of US military force posture
52:10
and capabilities throughout the Middle East in light of hostile
52:14
regional tensions. Again, I have to remark that it's quite
52:18
incredible the pressure that is being put on Iran to
52:21
back down, and yet absolutely no pressure on Israel. In fact,
52:25
there is total endorsement of Israel's crimes in carrying out
52:31
its aggression against Beirut and against Tayran.
52:36
Speaker 10: This is we're living in extraordinary times.
52:39
Speaker 9: So let's have a look again at the US naval
52:43
hardware that is already in the region. Again, Brian, you
52:48
might know better than I, but haven't I don't remember
52:51
seeing such a deployment of US naval battalions and of
52:58
course Allied battalions.
53:02
Speaker 10: A foreign entity for a foreign.
53:03
Speaker 1: Nation, Well, I'll just save Vanessa that. Yes, it is
53:08
unusual for two carrier groups to be brought in relatively
53:12
close proximity to each other. So these are massive forces.
53:17
To put a scale to it for our viewers and listeners.
53:22
One of these aircraft carriers virtually carrying more aircraft than
53:27
the average national air force of many countries. So these
53:31
are immensely powerful assets, and of course they've got the
53:35
group of ships with them to provide air and missile
53:39
defense to the carrier. But the other thing I'm going
53:43
to say is the reality is, however, that even these
53:46
units do not have any defense against the latest Russian
53:50
hypersonic missile. So there's a game of Russian roulette upart.
53:57
I know, but I've used the expression away here because
54:01
at the end of the day, should Russia decide to
54:04
use its latest weapons, then even these American carrier groups
54:09
are honorable.
54:11
Speaker 9: Yeah, and let's remember that even and Sruler, even the
54:14
Yemeny forces managed to actually strike was at the Theodore Roosevelt.
54:21
So I mean, none of them are impervious to the
54:24
resistance missiles, including Iran's developed ballistic and cruise missiles and.
54:30
Speaker 10: Even potentially Yemen, Iraq, etc.
54:34
Speaker 9: But let's have a look at what else the US
54:36
is providing to what is effectively declared a genocidal entity.
54:42
So three point five billion more in immediate military aid
54:47
to Israel amid the war in Gaza but also in
54:50
the last twenty four hours, the America has pledged a
54:53
further twenty billion I think it's around five arms packages
54:59
to Israel.
55:00
Speaker 10: Again, extraordinary funding and sponsorship of this ethno supremacist entity.
55:08
Speaker 9: Then let's have a look at an opinion piece in Haretz,
55:11
which again it's Israeli based media.
55:15
Speaker 10: Natanya who wants the world's war. So what is the
55:18
author saying, Let's.
55:20
Speaker 9: Have a look he's basically saying, so he's talking about
55:25
the fact that in April Natanya, who had orchestrated a
55:28
situation where the US was mobilized alongside its World War
55:32
Two allies France and Britain, together with moderate Sunny States
55:36
Sunny States which of course include Jordan and Saudi Arabia
55:41
and Egypt, et cetera, into a coalition defending Israel. So
55:45
this was when Israel had targeted the Iranian consulate in Damascus.
55:51
This is Natanyao Who's dream come true, the world in
55:54
an uproar with Israel at the epicenter. And I do
55:58
think that this has this sort of bleeds into many
56:01
more issues that we're looking at.
56:04
Speaker 10: The results of Hanye's assassination in.
56:06
Speaker 9: Tehran are even more impressive as far as Nettaanno, who
56:10
is concerned Biden sent a force to the region that
56:13
dwarfed the contingents sent in April Netaja, who is setting
56:17
the agenda.
56:18
Speaker 10: The world is breaking up around him. His actions are.
56:21
Speaker 9: Keeping Vladimir Putin too from his slumber. He's more relevant
56:26
than ever on the global stage. And Natanyao, who prevents
56:29
the end of the war in Gaza in order to
56:31
ignite a world war. In his megalomaniac hallucinations, this world war,
56:37
the victory of civilization over the barbarians, shall be his legacy.
56:43
And of course, where I would comment here is if Nettanna,
56:47
who were to leave tomorrow, actually this agenda would continue.
56:51
It might take a slightly different shape, it might take
56:54
a slightly different optic.
56:57
Speaker 10: But the dominance of the far.
56:59
Speaker 9: Right, extremeism and Netanyahu's type of expansionism and revisionist Zionism
57:08
is an ideology held by the majority of Israelis. And
57:12
in fact, if we look at the next video, which
57:15
is of the chief of one of the settler unions,
57:20
I guess you'd call it Daniella Vice, who's been operating
57:25
alongside the various Zionist governments since the nineteen seventies where
57:30
she partnered Dariel Sharon to effectively ensure that the settlements
57:35
stole as much Palestinian.
57:37
Speaker 10: Territory as possible. We've played a video with her in
57:41
it before.
57:41
Speaker 9: So I've included just a few seconds of the original
57:45
video we played in a recent TV interview where she
57:48
talks about the fact that the settlers will be in Gaza.
57:52
In other words, it's going to be a copy paste
57:54
of what happened in the West Bank will then be
57:57
carried out in Gaza.
58:00
Speaker 11: This land was promised to the Jews by god lanze
58:12
Us him Simba uh story n Taniel Amati lehold Oh
58:36
salon Asma Lemhold and show Bannic tech a bit Marchasino began,
58:48
and we've.
58:49
Speaker 9: Mentioned the fact that in fact Natanio, who is doing
58:52
nothing to bring back the hostages, we know now that
58:55
Hamas under the leadership of Sinwara, has actually pulled out
58:59
of negotiations on Thursday, saying that Natanyahu, instead of agreeing
59:05
to the.
59:08
Speaker 10: Agreement that was set by Biden on the second.
59:11
Speaker 9: Of July, he's introduced new measures that he knows perfectly
59:14
well Hamas are going to refuse, which means that the
59:18
ceasefire agreement will be delayed yet again. I mean this
59:22
is you know, this is what has been going on
59:24
since October the seventh, and that Natanyahu and the Zionist
59:28
forces can continue their ethnic cleansing in the whole of Palestine.
59:34
Speaker 10: The next video, again, I just want to bring.
59:36
Speaker 9: In Alistair Krook, former diplomat who goes on interview with
59:41
Judge Napolitano every Monday, and it's will worth watching because
59:44
I think his analysis of the region is among the best.
59:48
And here he's talking about why he believes war, a
59:53
regional war, is inevitable. To say Natagne, who does not
59:59
want to ceasefire and does not want a deal to
1:00:02
return the hostages, he wants a wider war against Iran.
1:00:06
Speaker 12: That's obvious. Yeah, quite clear. He's made that, absolutely apparent.
1:00:11
There's not a single diet about that amongst Israelis. He
1:00:16
wants a full war and he wants to provoke it.
1:00:19
And that's why the great danger is, as I say,
1:00:23
not just what Iran does in whenever it does it
1:00:26
in this next period, but maybe much more threatening than
1:00:31
people expect. I know, the sort of myth of Israeli
1:00:36
military greatness is pervasive, but it may be much more
1:00:41
serious than they expect. And then they will react, and
1:00:46
what will they do to provoke it to the next
1:00:50
level where America is fully engaged, Use a tactical nuclear
1:00:55
weapon that's been threatened by Israel something like that, we
1:01:00
will certainly take us to a different level. Where would
1:01:03
it leave Russia and China? I mean, this is why
1:01:07
I say it seems to me almost inevitable, because there's
1:01:11
no one actually pulling back actually, and.
1:01:13
Speaker 9: Then finally, I just want to play a video from
1:01:17
twenty nineteen with said Mohammed Mirandi, a professor in Tehran University.
1:01:24
Speaker 10: I'm sure everybody knows him.
1:01:25
Speaker 9: He's a regular guest on the BBC and Channel four
1:01:29
pushing back against their propaganda. But here he talks about
1:01:33
what will happen in the case of a regional escalation,
1:01:38
what will happen to the Persian Gulf, and what will
1:01:43
happen to the oil installations there and how that will
1:01:47
disastrously impact upon particularly Western economy.
1:01:52
Speaker 10: And of course that's a repeat of the Ukraine playbook
1:01:57
and the nord stream sabotage.
1:02:00
Speaker 13: They cannot win a war in the Persian Golf Anyone
1:02:04
who looks at the map knows that from the northern
1:02:07
tip to the southern tip of the Persian Gulf, Iran
1:02:12
has a strong presence, and it is a small gulf
1:02:16
or waterway, the Persian Gulf, the oil and gas facilities
1:02:21
are impossible to protect. If there is war, the closure
1:02:27
of the Strait of Foremos would be a sideshow. That
1:02:30
would be nothing in comparison to the complete and utter
1:02:34
destruction of all the oil and gas facilities in the
1:02:39
Persian Gulf, as well as all the tankers.
1:02:41
Speaker 1: Okay, Vanessa, thank you very much for that section. Many
1:02:44
people saying we're moving very quickly towards World War III,
1:02:48
isn't that an incredible statement? But for me, what is
1:02:52
really incredible is we are not seeing a clemor of
1:02:56
politicians throughout the world to wind back on this foie.
1:03:00
It's both in Ukraine and the Middle East, in order
1:03:03
to get the world's back on a stable, peaceful footing.
1:03:07
We seem to have people that want nothing but war.
1:03:11
And what is so terribly sad I think for the
1:03:13
US is that the wealth of America, a great nation,
1:03:18
is simply being poured into weapons and munitions on the
1:03:22
battlefield with no clear cut idea of what the result
1:03:28
is going to be of the use of those weapons.
1:03:30
So I think there needs to be massive reflection by
1:03:33
the voting public in the West, and certainly our politicians
1:03:38
need to be held to account as to what's happening
1:03:41
at the moment. Now is it just the politicians or
1:03:45
is it also other agencies that are causing the problem? Well,
1:03:50
I just in this segment for Today's News, want to
1:03:53
give recognition to Brian Bletic, former marine who's been giving
1:03:57
some really good analysis about Ukraine amongst other regions of
1:04:03
the world. That's for the New Applas if you want
1:04:06
to go and find him on YouTube. But one of
1:04:09
the things that he's consistently pointed to when talking about
1:04:12
Ukraine is the work of the Rand Corporation and this
1:04:17
particular document from twenty nineteen over extending and Unbalancing Russia
1:04:23
assessing the impact of cost imposing options, and if we
1:04:27
just have this is only from the front cover, but
1:04:29
essentially it's saying that this brief, the Round Brief, summarizes
1:04:34
a report that comprehensively examines nonviolent, cost imposing options that
1:04:40
the United States and its allies could pursue across economic, political,
1:04:45
and military areas, to stress over extend and unbalance Russia's
1:04:52
economy and armed forces, and the regimes political standing at
1:04:56
home and abroad. This is a plan to attack Russia,
1:05:01
not in an overt military sense directly, but to attack
1:05:07
Russia's identity and their government and their society and the
1:05:12
military by using covert, semi covert, and proxi means. And
1:05:18
of course, what have they achieved. Well, the section in
1:05:21
this report says very clearly that part of the measures
1:05:25
should be providing lethal aid to Ukraine. And my goodness,
1:05:30
how they have done that, because based on this advice,
1:05:35
Ukraine has raised three armies, two of those armies already destroyed,
1:05:39
the third presently being destroyed in the battle with Russia.
1:05:45
But surprising that the Round Corporation was advising this as
1:05:50
a good policy, as a sensible policy for the US government.
1:05:54
And if we'd follow on through. This is just another
1:05:57
little excerpt from this document. We've got the ideological and
1:06:02
informational cost imposing measures. And if you read this section,
1:06:07
what it actually is is an attack on the whole
1:06:11
structure of the Russian government and society. This is subversion.
1:06:16
Although the word subversion isn't used. But nevertheless, the Rand
1:06:20
Corporation was using its influence as a think tank in
1:06:24
order to give the American the US government in particular,
1:06:28
these options in order to attack under undermine Russia and
1:06:35
look at the vile killing that this is unleashed. In
1:06:40
the bottom left corner, you've got one of the RAND
1:06:43
spokesman introducing a recent meeting that they had where they
1:06:48
were talking about the whole crisis in Ukraine and how
1:06:51
it was going to continue for a very long time.
1:06:55
But also this caught my eye that they were working
1:06:58
alongside the Polish Institute of International Affairs, And when I
1:07:03
looked deeper into the Polish organization, I found that in
1:07:06
addition to talking about the situation in Ukraine, they were
1:07:11
also analyzing what was going on inside uk politics. And
1:07:17
here you can see on the right of your screen
1:07:19
part of the bulletin report that says support for quote
1:07:24
anti establishment parties is rising in Britain. And if you
1:07:28
actually get into this incredible document, what it actually starts
1:07:34
to talk about is the fact that all politics in
1:07:37
Britain to work properly, the major parties, the Labor and
1:07:42
the Conservative Party, should get at least eighty percent of
1:07:46
the vote and if they did get this percentage, then
1:07:50
democracy would be working properly in the UK. But because
1:07:54
we have individuals and small parties now attempting to challenge
1:08:00
the warmongering, for example, of the UK government, this Polish
1:08:06
organization is branding the smaller parties such as Reformed, but
1:08:11
also the Greens and the Muslim Voice as being anti establishment.
1:08:16
I found this an incredible piece of text because to me,
1:08:21
it shows hostile intent by Poland and the intent to
1:08:26
interfere into UK politics. Charles, I'll just ask you to
1:08:31
respond to that briefly. But these think tanks are immensely
1:08:36
dangerous in the way that they're playing fast and loose
1:08:40
with the whole democracy, the government structure, the constitutions of
1:08:48
nation states.
1:08:50
Speaker 4: I think so, I mean, I think really they're leaping
1:08:54
an enormous obstacle, a factual obstacle, which causes the degree
1:08:58
to which people are engaged in the first place. When
1:09:02
they talk about you know, you refer to the share
1:09:04
of the vote, I mean they're talking about all the
1:09:06
people that are eligible to vote, or all the people
1:09:09
that do actually vote, Because of course we've gone quite
1:09:12
far beyond that now in this country and that voter
1:09:14
turnout is low, and we look at the part the result,
1:09:19
the completely skewed result now that the Labor government returned
1:09:22
in that they took a share of the vote by
1:09:26
head by number that was far, far smaller than for example,
1:09:31
Jeremy Corbyn took years ago. And yes, of course they
1:09:34
are by far and away the dominant entity in Parliament
1:09:37
with over four hundred seats. I mean that there are
1:09:39
so many issues at stake, but yes, I mean the
1:09:43
line that they take, you know, is absolutely sort of
1:09:46
symptomatic of the well I mean, I would say meddling,
1:09:51
but I mean everyone gets scued of meddling these days.
1:09:53
But the interference, at least in terms of ideologically interfering
1:09:58
with how are democracy should function? I mean quite clear
1:10:02
it doesn't function. But whether whether or not we need
1:10:05
pointers from elsewhere and entities that sit outside of government
1:10:10
is open to debate.
1:10:13
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you for that. Well, just to follow through
1:10:15
on this section a little bit of a deeper look
1:10:18
at RAND. We have, of course RAND being a US
1:10:21
based think tank, but Round Europe also exists with an
1:10:24
office in UK. What caught my attention here is right
1:10:28
at the bottom, you see that it's talking about carrying
1:10:32
out work on behalf of public and private clients, foundations
1:10:36
and international organizations like the European Commission. So I'm going
1:10:41
to suggest that if there's one thing this organization is not,
1:10:45
and that is unbiased, it's clearly biased in who is,
1:10:50
who it's working for and the policy that it's putting out.
1:10:54
This was a picture from one of their videos, just
1:10:57
to give you an indication of the audience in what
1:11:00
would look like a rather impressive formal address, but it
1:11:04
appears that the audience are in some form of tin
1:11:08
shed or hangar. The gentleman on the right is Polish
1:11:13
military general who's been brought in to talk about the
1:11:15
war in Ukraine. But if we have a look at
1:11:19
what the Rand Corporation is up to, one of the
1:11:22
things it's doing, of course, is sucking in young people
1:11:25
to train them as it's graduates, and no doubt to
1:11:29
impart on those young people its views and values of
1:11:33
the world. Here's some history about the Party round graduate school,
1:11:39
and it's saying that in the past fifty years, more
1:11:41
than five hundred iluni have graduated from Party Rand with
1:11:46
the theoretical and applied skills that enable them to tackle
1:11:50
hard issues around the globe. And if you look at
1:11:53
the final sentence, it says, and perhaps most importantly, our
1:11:57
illuni are making a difference and changing the world. Of
1:12:01
course it doesn't say how that change is actually taking place.
1:12:06
But this also caught my eye because they've been working
1:12:09
on how the Israeli Defense Force could actually deal with
1:12:13
the fact it cannot bring sufficient men into the army
1:12:17
in order to deal with the situations which Israel faces.
1:12:22
And so what Rand was talking about was a particular
1:12:26
system of conscription which meant that the Israeli government could
1:12:30
take the pick of young men, and those that it
1:12:33
didn't choose could go on to do some role in
1:12:37
civil society. And I just thought this was an amazing
1:12:41
coincidence with the scheme that we had the Tory government
1:12:47
putting forward just before we lost our illustrious prime minister.
1:12:53
So I'll leave our audience to think about that. But
1:12:58
this one also caught my eye. Using social media data
1:13:01
to now cast migration around the globe, and when we
1:13:06
got into the Rand article, it was using the phrase
1:13:10
stocks of migrants, which I found extremely offensive. And as
1:13:16
I've put on screen, by stocks of migrants, are they
1:13:19
talking about live stock. I'd better just leave it there
1:13:24
because I found that so horrific. But this was the
1:13:27
last thing which was that basically, this was one of
1:13:30
the articles the Iran Israel War is just getting started,
1:13:35
and the label to this photo says the apparent remains
1:13:39
of an Iranian missile lie in the desert near the
1:13:42
southern city of Arad, Israel, April twenty four, twenty twenty four.
1:13:47
And I just found this an incredible image because if
1:13:51
you look at the two figures at the bottom of
1:13:55
the screen, they have see through shadows which you can
1:13:59
see very clear if you zoom in. But the individual
1:14:02
who's walking away to the left has an extremely dark shadow.
1:14:07
But you notice that that shadow cuts off where the
1:14:10
object is and there is no shadow on the object itself.
1:14:15
My conclusion is that this is a fake photograph, but
1:14:18
it's being put out by Round as obviously truthful material.
1:14:23
So a few questions to be asked there. This ends
1:14:28
by coming back to you, Charles, because basically the subject
1:14:32
is economic inactivity in the United Kingdom.
1:14:37
Speaker 4: It is thank you, Brian. Yes, this from the NHS Confederation,
1:14:41
published this summer twenty fifth June, and really what they're
1:14:45
pointing out I mean, well, first of all, economic inactivity
1:14:48
encompasses all those people who, for one reason or another
1:14:51
are not part of the UK labor market. They're not
1:14:55
part of the workforce. But the specific trend here is
1:14:59
long term sickness, and this is what sort is being
1:15:03
discussed now.
1:15:05
Speaker 9: It is.
1:15:07
Speaker 4: Really euphemistic for the time period covered by the largest
1:15:14
pharmaceutical trial ever conducted. It does overlap exactly with it.
1:15:20
So we'll just look at what some of the text
1:15:22
from this thing from the NHS Confederation they say, following
1:15:26
an historic low prior to the pandemic, the number of
1:15:29
people out of the workforce in the UK has risen
1:15:32
by nine hundred thousand. There are no two point eight
1:15:34
million economically inactive long term sick about a third of
1:15:40
the total inactive population. Now, this is absolutely considerable, and
1:15:46
the degree to which it correlates with changes imposed by government,
1:15:51
either via enforced internments or indeed effectively mandated pharmaceutical products
1:15:59
is significant, So that's not to be ignored. The next
1:16:02
slide shows a graph indicating not just the degree to
1:16:06
which long term sickness has gone up you see on
1:16:09
the right of eighty five percent, but also how the
1:16:12
fracturing of the our way of life, and in particular
1:16:15
the family units has taken hold, and we see that
1:16:18
there's been a thirty two percent decrease in the number
1:16:20
of those who are economically inactive because they are looking
1:16:24
after their family or looking after their home. And I
1:16:26
think that's again another very significant factor which is accelerated
1:16:29
hugely after twenty twenty, where there's a very deliberate push
1:16:32
to affect the way that society would behave not just
1:16:35
then but also in the future. And again further graphs
1:16:39
illustrate the effect on the working age population. Now these
1:16:42
are supposed to show effectively comorbidity, so the numbers of
1:16:46
different conditions that people have, with the darker line top
1:16:50
representing people who have five or more health conditions that
1:16:54
are known about. Of course, they are going to be
1:16:55
a lot of people that presumably are not captured by
1:16:57
this data because they're not known about most alarms, I
1:17:00
would say. On the left hand side is the younger
1:17:01
age group sixteen to twenty four, and you can see
1:17:04
a dotted line before twenty twenty. So this is a
1:17:07
trend that has been in the pipeline, accelerated no doubt
1:17:12
by the factors I've just mentioned, but it is very
1:17:15
alarming to think that people who are who should be
1:17:18
in the prime of their life are being affected in
1:17:21
such a manner that they are prevented from working or
1:17:25
choosing not to work. So I don't want to make
1:17:28
assumptions that people are not joining the workforce because they
1:17:33
are unable to. And long term sickness itself is a
1:17:38
definition that should be open to some considerable scrutiny, given
1:17:42
the way that it's possible to manipulate the benefits system
1:17:45
in the UK and of course survive, although of course
1:17:50
I am not in any way dismissing genuine sickness. Now
1:17:53
we'll just look at what the labor parties said about this,
1:17:56
and I think quite a telling statement. They talk about
1:17:58
the NHS becoming not just a sickness service, but to
1:18:02
prevent ill health from the first place, and they say
1:18:05
they must reflect tellingly that it must also reflect the
1:18:09
change in the nature of disease, with a greater focus
1:18:13
on the management of chronic, long term conditions. Okay, so
1:18:15
they're addressing what is happening, but certainly not what has
1:18:19
caused it to happen. And I think that phrase the
1:18:22
change in the nature of disease is very very significant
1:18:25
when again one considers the pharmaceutical products that have been
1:18:29
in effect enforced upon people over the last four years.
1:18:32
So sort of concurrent with this, we see this relentless
1:18:38
push towards the suggestion that ill health is normal, chronic
1:18:42
ill health is normal. And further in the next slide
1:18:45
we look at terminal illness and we've got the change
1:18:50
and this was specifically with regard to the benefit systems,
1:18:53
but the way in which that ill health and terminal
1:18:55
illness is being looked at, so Disability Rights UK pointing
1:18:59
out the definition of terminally ill has been changed. The
1:19:01
next slide show that in twenty twenty three, for the
1:19:05
purposes of these benefits, to be terminally ill, you were
1:19:10
either suffering from a progressive disease. Sorry, you were suffering
1:19:14
from a progressive disease and your death as a result
1:19:17
of that disease can reasonably be expected within twelve months. Well,
1:19:21
this is going to capture an awful lot of people if,
1:19:24
of course, the suggestion is that it is progressive and
1:19:28
there's nothing that can be done about it. So it
1:19:31
is an ill health service, but it's very much normalizing
1:19:35
this idea that people are going to be draining resources.
1:19:40
This is something that Mike Robinson talked about the other
1:19:42
day and specifically the article that Matthew Parris had published
1:19:45
about this about effectively warming people up to the idea
1:19:49
that they mustn't be a burden on society, they mustn't
1:19:51
be a burden on their family. And I refer back
1:19:53
to the graph earlier showing the decrease in the number
1:19:56
of people who are taking time to look after family members,
1:20:00
and all this gets wrapped up, and of course the
1:20:02
next thing we then look at is the assisted Dying bill,
1:20:05
which is come back. You know, this has been on
1:20:07
the cards since Lord Faulkner first delt with it years ago,
1:20:10
and we see again it was debated back in July
1:20:13
twenty sixth of July of this year, so that there
1:20:16
is a relentless push towards this. And then of course
1:20:21
the other thing that we have to be mindful of
1:20:23
is the way that all this is reported in terms
1:20:25
of the government managing the statistics, in particular where it
1:20:31
concerns death. So these this is the chart showing the
1:20:35
total deaths from the Office of National Statistics that just
1:20:38
released yesterday and We've talked about this a lot before,
1:20:43
but it must be pointed out again that the dotted
1:20:46
line that runs either sort of along the top of
1:20:51
or just above or just below the bars of the
1:20:54
chart is what's called the expected death sort of predictor.
1:20:59
So this was change. It used to be the five
1:21:01
year average, and it's now written down as expected deaths. Now,
1:21:05
what I've done is put a red line across the
1:21:08
graft to make it slightly more obvious that in effect,
1:21:12
this is absolute manipulation of statistics in order for the
1:21:15
government to be able to try to convince the population
1:21:18
that there isn't a problem. And if you look at
1:21:21
July twenty twenty three, which is roughly in the middle
1:21:24
of the chart, approximately a year ago, you can see
1:21:27
quite clearly when you look towards to on the right,
1:21:30
towards twenty twenty four, the expected death tally has been
1:21:34
increased enormously, but no good reason given for this. So
1:21:41
as I say this whole idea that death or at
1:21:46
least chronic illness is becoming normal, and indeed that assisted
1:21:52
dying the rest of it should very much become part
1:21:54
of the way of things. But at the same time,
1:21:56
as suggesting that people aren't dying in huge numbers for
1:22:01
reasons that are unknown. And I'll just close out this
1:22:04
segment by talking about something that actually came through the
1:22:07
post the day before yesterday. So actually I don't know
1:22:09
if we can just go back one because it just
1:22:11
the image first of all, well and never mind, but
1:22:16
basically it's the Royal Male have partnered with something called
1:22:20
Pharmacy to you, and this is to enable prescription drugs
1:22:25
to be delivered without anyone having to do anything. And
1:22:28
the key bit of text from this advert which has
1:22:31
been put all over the place to encourage people to
1:22:34
take it up, as it says, simply register and order
1:22:36
your prescription through our website or the Royal Male Health App.
1:22:40
We'll then deliver it safely and securely for free. So
1:22:43
those key words safe and secure and then of course
1:22:46
it's free. Well we've heard all that before with many
1:22:49
many other things. Register below and we'll take care of
1:22:52
the rest, will even send handy reminders so you never
1:22:55
run out. It's as easy as that. So again this
1:22:58
is something that w Evans talked about lot when which
1:23:02
the delivery of what's being called health but isn't is
1:23:05
being affected by technology and continuing to isolate people, keeping
1:23:10
them in their homes with absolutely no review as to
1:23:13
whether they require these drugs or not. But they are
1:23:16
simply going to have them forced down, forced into their
1:23:19
homes effectually by suggesting that it's all too easy and
1:23:22
it's safe and secure, like so many other things. So
1:23:26
a gloomy outlok really in terms of health or sickness,
1:23:30
but certainly in terms of the way in which the
1:23:32
economy is likely to go as a result of this.
1:23:35
And again the thing to keep our eye on really
1:23:37
is where this ends up with assisted dying.
1:23:42
Speaker 1: Charles, thank you for that heavy subject, particularly to end
1:23:47
today's news on. But this is the reality of what's
1:23:50
happening in this country and the wider public need to
1:23:53
know about it. And I am just going to say
1:23:57
for many people who now realize that very serious things
1:24:01
happening in this country, some people are finding it almost
1:24:04
overwhelming as all of these very dark agendas come in
1:24:08
that taking simple actions can make such a difference. So
1:24:13
if you're somebody who has never emailed your MP, or
1:24:17
challenged a local counselor or attended a local meeting, if
1:24:21
you do this and take action to challenge what is
1:24:25
actually happening around you. We say that you will feel better.
1:24:30
We certainly did in the early days. And of course
1:24:33
if you could make friends of other like minded people
1:24:36
so that you go with other people to challenge the
1:24:40
system and its flawed agenda, you will feel even better.
1:24:45
So what is required is hundreds of thousands of people
1:24:49
doing a little thing instead of a small number of
1:24:52
people trying to do a lot. It's that simple, and
1:24:56
we'll end by saying that, of course, the people who
1:24:59
are for into the trap of engaging in violence are
1:25:03
simply helping the state in its closed down agenda. So
1:25:08
if you want proper change out of Keir Starmer's star
1:25:12
Z state, find a friend and take the establishment to
1:25:18
task in a peaceful, reasonable way. We'll lend there. Vanessa,
1:25:23
thank you very much for joining us today as always,
1:25:26
and to your good self, Charles, we lend to the news.
1:25:31
It's been slightly extended news today, which hopefully is made
1:25:34
up from our lack of a live broadcast. But I'm
1:25:37
hoping that when I speak to the team in a moment,
1:25:40
we might be able to do the UK column extra,
1:25:44
so do look out for that. We'll do it. If
1:25:47
we can thanks for joining us, Bye bye right ye
