Transcript
- 0:08Good afternoon. Today is Monday, the third of June twenty twenty four,
- 0:13just after one o'clock. Welcome to UK column News. I'm your host,
- 0:16Maran Gerrish, delighted to be joined by Professor Diane Rasmus and Macaddie, and
- 0:22also by Mark Anderson from the USA. Well, what is the theme of
- 0:28our news today. I think it's very much on the fact that it can't
- 0:32possibly be true that we have elected politicians who are discussing our best interests in
- 0:38Parliament and we're now about to go through an election to select the latest best
- 0:44group of right honorable men and women in order to run our lives to the
- 0:49best of our satisfaction. I think something rather different is going on, and
- 0:54we're going to have a look in particular at propaganda and facts and misinformation in
- 1:00this news edition. So if you've joined us, welcome, Let's have a
- 1:06look. And let's start with a very simple tweet that was sent through to
- 1:08me and I thought, with my morning cup of tea, my goodness,
- 1:12this is really incredible. So here's the tweet. It's from at Defense HQ,
- 1:18the UK's Ministry of Defense. It says, here's the reality NATO never
- 1:22agreed it wouldn't expand and has been open to new members since it was founded
- 1:27in nineteen forty nine. Its job is keeping its members safe, and I've
- 1:32commented on that by saying, as NATO weapons are unleashed on Russia at the
- 1:37hands of Western NATO allies, the uk of Ministry of Defense pumps out the
- 1:42propaganda of we've got clean hands. So let's have a look at this fascinating
- 1:48little video clip. Although we are short and sharp, with empowering solemn music
- 2:27and of course the messages that we've done nothing wrong. It's all those nasty
- 2:31Russians. And the question is has NATO pushed forward and effectively intimidated and forced
- 2:42the Russians into action? Well that's what the Russians would say. But what
- 2:46was particularly interesting was just to have a little look at how the public responded
- 2:51to this video. So they were clearly challenging that little video clip. The
- 2:55myth we had this one by thinking slow and then we arrived to the two
- 3:01thousand and eight Progress Summit of NATO, which was a massive mistake on the
- 3:07Western side trying to push Georgia and Ukraine into NATO. It was quote stupid
- 3:12at every level at that time. If you want to start a war with
- 3:15Russia, that's the best way of doing it. And that was an interview
- 3:19with Sir Roderick Line, British Ambassador of Russia two thousand to two thousand and
- 3:23four. And the person who posted this tweet x has even been kind enough
- 3:30to put the link through to the document itself. So I'm going to say
- 3:35this is really interesting because we've got the public actually engaging in order to challenge
- 3:42what the Ministry of Defense has said. Simplicicus here has actually put out part
- 3:47of a document. Now I'm taking the document at face value at the moment,
- 3:53but in it there's a quote supposedly from the Secretary of State James Baker,
- 3:58we understand the need for assurances to the countries in the east. If
- 4:02we maintain a presence in Germany that is part of NATO, there will be
- 4:06no extension of NATO's jurisdictions for sources of NATO one inch to the east.
- 4:13So these still need checking. However, the point I'm making is that it's
- 4:17very interesting to see the public coming back and what they're effectively saying to the
- 4:21Ministry at Defense is no, we are not accepting what you have said on
- 4:27face value. So if we put up two more just to have a little
- 4:30look, let's bring this one in. So Lulu Bowen has said NATO on
- 4:35NATO is not sovereign, is instructed and directed by European countries. So by
- 4:42proxy NATO did agree to borders. France and Germany have absolutely overthrown the Minsk
- 4:48agreement. Now there is more in this little tweet, but what I want
- 4:53to point out is the person is really thinking through what's going on. And
- 4:58of course we start to see the luring of the lines between what is NATO
- 5:02acting as NATO what France and Germany are doing acting as sovereign states. This
- 5:08must be immensely confusing to the Russians, but of course it gives the opportunity
- 5:14for the Western powers, the US and the UK in particular, to one
- 5:18minute hide behind their actions and nation, and the next minute hide behind their
- 5:24actions as NATO. Let's bring another one on screen here, and this is
- 5:29tougher. It says, No, the reality is NATO is not keeping anyone
- 5:32safe. It's backing wars in foreign countries like Ukraine. And that goes on.
- 5:38Say, if there were no Allied partners. No one had everyone else's
- 5:42back, then the world would be much safer and happier for it. So
- 5:47it says there may be occasional small wars in some backwater, but it wouldn't
- 5:51drag everyone into the fight. Diana, I'm going to welcome you to the
- 5:56News today. Your specialist professional area is informatics and research. What is your
- 6:02take on the response here? I think we've got the public really starting to
- 6:08do the job, which is argue back instead of just shout thanks. Brian,
- 6:14Yes, glad to be here. Absolutely, I agree with you.
- 6:16It's really interesting. I think how they are confusing and mixing the messages around
- 6:23to make people believe that perhaps correct information is misinformation and vice versa. And
- 6:29that's what I'm going to cover here today, to go a little bit further
- 6:30in to see trying to figure out what it is that they're actually doing and
- 6:34what we need to do to make people more aware of this. So I'd
- 6:39like to start here with a video from scan News from that w Evans sent
- 6:44to me over the weekend, and we'll go from there. Minds in British
- 6:47life things we don't agree on, political, cultural, ideological, But here
- 6:53perhaps is the deepest when one part of the population rejects the other's version of
- 6:58reality. Concept. We've come here to West Cumbria, just outside the Lake
- 7:09district actually, and we're going to the Weekend Truth Festival WTF for short.
- 7:13I think most people would describe it as a conspiracy theory festival, So yes,
- 7:20WTF. Indeed, we have an article here as well that went along
- 7:25with the video that the journalist wrote, saying that Katie Hopkins was there.
- 7:30She was one of the headline speakers and said I smell a virgin when she
- 7:32looked directly at the Sky News reporter who was there, as he sort of
- 7:36said infiltrating it, and he interviewed some of these so called conspiracy theorists and
- 7:43trolls and used the kind of language that Marianna Spring likes to use when she's
- 7:46describing people that don't see things in the mainstream view and the official view of
- 7:50things. And he quoted someone here saying Teresa said, it's not a fiction
- 7:56book, is it, you know, as if to ridicule Teresa for thinking
- 7:59that it was in fact real. Well, it is real, and there
- 8:01is a sequel to the Great Reset, So these are not fictional items.
- 8:05And I think that's what they're trying to do, you know, just at
- 8:09first glance and talks about strong emotion, and if we look at the next
- 8:13slide here, if they were talking about the strong emotion of these conspiracy theorists
- 8:18and how angry they were, Well, does anyone remember back in twenty twenty
- 8:22when those of us who didn't buy into the COVID narrative were called covidiots.
- 8:26This is an article from the Telegraph from early on in twenty twenty. They
- 8:30certainly had strong emotion against the rest of us who had a different way of
- 8:33seeing things, didn't they. So I know that UK Column has been looking
- 8:39at the so called independent fact checking organization Full Fact for some time. If
- 8:43you haven't read this article from Brian from back in twenty twelve, I highly
- 8:46recommend it. It goes a little bit deeper into some controversy that the UK
- 8:50What Column was involved in and stood up against back in twenty twelve. But
- 8:54I decided to go a little bit further into Full Fact itself. And or
- 9:01if you were really upset about it, you could maybe think of your own
- 9:05bad language to substitute with the word fact. But I won't do that because
- 9:07as a professional organization. So here is a crowd funder that will start with
- 9:13from Full Fact where they are trying to crowdfund the twenty twenty four election,
- 9:18and just to show you the video there that they were promoting to get people
- 9:22to donate to this eighty five thousand pounds that we want, go ahead,
- 9:26please fucks the facts, the fact, the fact. In the run up
- 9:31to the general election, we're being bombarded with facts everywhere we look, but
- 9:35how do we know what to trust. That's where Full Fat comes in.
- 9:39Full Fact is the UK's leading independent fact checking charity. Every day, the
- 9:43team at Full Fact tirelessly sifts through claims, statements and news to ensure that
- 9:48everyone receives accurate and reliable information. And we must ensure that bad information doesn't
- 9:54gain traction and doesn't corrupt the results of the election. We've honed our skills
- 9:58over four general elections and three referendums and now we're bringing all our experience to
- 10:03this election. But we're asking for your help. We need to raise eighty
- 10:07five thousand pounds to fact check the general election at a scale never seen before.
- 10:11Your donation will help fund our biggest ever team of fact checkers. That
- 10:15means more fact checks on more politicians, reaching more people. You'll be playing
- 10:20your part in amplifying good information to ensure that voters in every constituency can make
- 10:24informed choices on the issues that matter to them. Donate to Full Fact now
- 10:30and keep the facts at the heart of the general election. Thank you so,
- 10:41given that fabulous video with your amazing background music. I would like to
- 10:46go into a Full Fact a little bit more as an organization and a particular
- 10:50who is at the top, who is in charge of Full Fact, And
- 10:52just to ask these questions of do we really believe that this is in fact
- 10:56an independent fact checking organization. My view is no, but let's see what
- 11:01you think. So I went into looking some of the financials of Full Fact
- 11:07and some of the major supporters, and some of these financial figures you can
- 11:11freeze the screen. I know there's quite a bit there, but there's some
- 11:13information about who is donated to Full Fact in the past few years in terms
- 11:18of major grants, in terms of the directors, who are on the trustee
- 11:22board and so on, and who the major supporters have been. You know
- 11:24what it says here that basically this website giving is great where I found these
- 11:28figures, say, well, it's you know, it's basically it's in a
- 11:31fabulous position. They're doing so well, they're you know, really going forward.
- 11:35But who are the trustees that are listed there? So we see the
- 11:39full list of the Full Fact Trustees. If you look at some of the
- 11:43biographies of some of the men that individuals who are listed, we see here
- 11:48Michael Samuel. He is the co founder and the chair of Full Fact.
- 11:52I'm going to go into him in a little bit more detail, so I'll
- 11:56come back to him, but let's look at these other two. Tim Gordon
- 12:00is on the World Economic Forums Center for the Fourth Industrial Revolution and he is
- 12:05in charge of Best Practice AI, and he is working on the AI Initiative
- 12:09for Full Fact, which is essentially AI trying to fact check fact. Finally,
- 12:15we have here James Harding. He is co founder and editor of Tortoise.
- 12:18So maybe there's something therefore been riven to follow up on as well,
- 12:22and so we can start to see here that Okay, already we're seeing these
- 12:26are not independent people who are on the trustee board, and they're quite significant
- 12:31positions of power when it comes to the global structure of things. So going
- 12:35on to look at Michael Samuel, he has a total of sixty five appointments
- 12:41listed on the company's house website. And I know that company's house is not
- 12:43always entirely reliable, but it's the best that we have. I think he
- 12:48has fifteen current appointments if you filter it by that, and I'm really interested
- 12:52in what some of these companies do. He's listed as a philanthropist around the
- 12:58internet, and we kind of know what that sort of implies. He is
- 13:01in charge of a company called Neux, He's in charge of other things.
- 13:05We also have as well his wife Julia, and they have this address called
- 13:09in Summerset, which I looked it up as a listed country house, very
- 13:13large mountain. That's their correspondence address that's listed in most places we can see
- 13:20here. Sir Marcus Samuel was his great great grandfather. He has the peerage
- 13:24title of Verse Viscount Yerstead. I hope I'm saying that correctly. He was
- 13:28Michael's great great grandfather. And what is significant about him, and be ready
- 13:33for this, is that he is the founder of Shell Oil Energy Corporation.
- 13:39And we go straight through the peerage, straight through his antstressed and we can
- 13:43track this directly back to him, and the peerage has maintained itself up up
- 13:48to that point. It's really interesting to see as well when you look at
- 13:54this website that is called the Mark, which lists his information about this.
- 14:01Like I guess, it's like a reputation website. So you have to apply
- 14:03to be managed by the Mark and you can then see their digital profile information
- 14:11and so it's very carefully crafted and at list all these organizations that he's a
- 14:15member of, he's a chairman of this, he donates to that. It
- 14:18just kind of goes on and on and on. So I think it's interesting
- 14:22if you compare it to something like Companies House, you compare it to LinkedIn
- 14:28that whoever, these people are paying a lot of money to have their digital
- 14:31identity shaped into a certain way. Here's part Sorry, Diane, if I
- 14:37might just come back in here. I think it's important to say that we're
- 14:41looking at people and their connections. The main thing we're focusing on is that
- 14:48they're extremely powerful. And if you're involved with sixty five companies, or at
- 14:54some stage you've been involved with sixty five companies, it's interesting to see the
- 14:58amount of effort that must take to keep going. And also what are their
- 15:03connections and interests. So if we're on the subject of independent fact checking,
- 15:09is it independent if people have got interests connected in and the problem is we
- 15:16don't know. So I just want to stress and echo back to the audience.
- 15:18We're not saying these people are doing anything wrong. What we're saying is
- 15:22that if you're claiming utter transparency in your full fact checking, we need to
- 15:28be very clear who is involved and why they're involved, and what vested interests
- 15:33individuals have. Absolutely, these were a couple of articles that were linked from
- 15:39his carefully crafted profile. One is about the Princess of Wales who visited it.
- 15:46That's just back in twenty twenty three when she was still in public view,
- 15:50where she visited the and Freud Center, which is something that he is
- 15:54the chairman of and that's worth quite a bit of money. That's actually him
- 15:58standing behind Princess of Wales. And articles about mental health awareness anxiety, climate
- 16:06anxiety in particular that young people or maybe people in general are anxious about the
- 16:11climate. So again another piece of agenda setting there. If you ask me,
- 16:15this is a website that is available through libraries. It's a subscription database
- 16:19that you have to pay for to or you have your libraries have to pay
- 16:23for. So this gives a lot of a lot of information on filings and
- 16:26so on by corporations. So just to give you a couple of ideas of
- 16:30the financials of these organizations, Mirex Energy is one of many that Michael Sanuel
- 16:36comes up on and that has twenty twenty three shareholders funds of I can't see
- 16:40that's a few million pounds. And if we go on to the next one,
- 16:44we also see the Anafreud Center and we see full Fact. So the
- 16:48balance sheet of Anafreud Center, the bottom line there is over thirty million pounds
- 16:53and Full Fact has a little over a million pounds. So we see,
- 16:59you know again once again, why are we doing this crowdfunding? Why are
- 17:02we trying to give the illusion that they need this eighty five thousand pounds for
- 17:07crowdfunding this information. This is another organization that Michael Samuel tais. It's called
- 17:12Civic And again we see this this narrative over and over again that Wie Evans
- 17:19has covered as well about change. We have to change, we have to
- 17:22change quickly, We have to do these causes that are systemic issues and we
- 17:27have to go in and fix them. So I'm just gonna ask this question
- 17:30because I hope to come back to this later. What is next for faux
- 17:33facts? And the next answer that I can find is AI. We are
- 17:38going to be using AI to do the fact checking, and it will be
- 17:41led by this man who is appointed by the WEF as being in charge of
- 17:47AI for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. And Marianna Spring luckily wrote an article on
- 17:52the weekend about AI fake information, so I will be interested in looking at
- 17:59further what she has to say about this topic and how this will maybe tie
- 18:03in with the AI fact checking and AI fact check. Marianna, that's a
- 18:07bigger question that I have. Brian, okay, Dan, thank you very
- 18:11much. That lots of questions to be asked around full fact or faux fact
- 18:15as we prefer to call them, But we'll be digging in and seeing what
- 18:19else comes to the surface. I did note the business about them saying children
- 18:25are becoming increasingly anxious you mentioned there in that presentation, and of course we've
- 18:30heard so much of that as a result of the lockdown policy during the time
- 18:34of COVID. But we'll come back onto that perhaps a little later in extra
- 18:38time. Mark, let's bring you on, because if we're talking about who
- 18:44controls the power base, is it the politicians or is it organizations such as
- 18:48Buildeberg. Well, Bildeberg has a way of someding like old hats sometimes Brian,
- 18:56but it keeps on ticking. They took off two years for COVID twenty
- 19:02and twenty twenty one. They may have had smaller breakout sessions or internet sessions
- 19:06at that time, but anyway, they're back with a vengeance. The seventieth
- 19:10meeting in seventy years. As I've mentioned recently and on this slide, it
- 19:14just gives the basics. They finally released their own press release, even though
- 19:18we had a good tip that they were meeting in Madrid, Spain, but
- 19:22they didn't release it until the first day of their meeting. They're just so
- 19:26open on the thirtieth of May, and it says here the key topics for
- 19:30the discussion this year, and I gave the official website of the Bilderberg Meetings
- 19:36dot org that has been in existence for the better part of twenty years.
- 19:40Another time that they claimed that they're so magnanimous and open into transparency. But
- 19:45here are the thirteen topics. The state of AI, AI safety, changing
- 19:51faces of biology, climate, future of warfare, geopolitical landscape, Europe's economic
- 19:57challenges, US economic challenges, US political landscape, ie, they don't want
- 20:03Trump in there, among other things. Ukraine and the world. Ukraine and
- 20:07the World, roll that off your tongue, Middle East, China and Russia.
- 20:12Some very common topics there, and that in fact is a theme to
- 20:17think about. Some of these topics are long term. It's not just flash
- 20:21in the pan. This is something I won't read in its entirety. It's
- 20:25the typical brush off statement that the Builderberg anonymous media department, whose media department
- 20:33has no people that they name, and they don't even give a letterhead or
- 20:37a physical address. Again more of their transparency. They were founded in nineteen
- 20:42fifty four and they were seated with CIA money. I've mentioned that before.
- 20:47A UK professor Richard Aldrich of Warwick has confirmed that that CIA money started Builderberg.
- 20:53Anyway, they mentioned, of course that the meetings are held under the
- 20:56Chathamhouse Rule, which states that participants are free to use the information received,
- 21:02but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker or speakers, nor any
- 21:06other participant may be revealed. In other words, who talks about what can't
- 21:10be talked about. And as these ideas and projects kind of work their way
- 21:15through society, no one will really know from whom or whence they came,
- 21:18so it kind of provides a cloaking for what they do. But anyway,
- 21:23moving on here in this next slide, I call it the Buildeberg continuum.
- 21:29And what's important here, Brian, is that a lot of people get the
- 21:33idea that Builderberg is flashing the pan always on top of the latest topics.
- 21:36But in fact they stay with key topics and have for several years. And
- 21:41this belies the argument that they just go there to have a retreat and take
- 21:47off their jackets, loosen their ties, have some caveat and just vent their
- 21:52concerns for the betterment of international relations. And they even make that claim by
- 21:56registering as a charity the builderberg Is Sociation of the UK that charity and the
- 22:03American Friends of Bildeberg in the state of New York another registered charity. At
- 22:07any rate, AI, as my self made chart shows here Brian, AI
- 22:14has been discussed twenty thirteen. It appears so that's way back in the UK
- 22:18when they met at Wafford twenty fifteen, twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, twenty
- 22:22twenty three, and this year Russia eight times, twenty fifteen in Austria,
- 22:27and all the way through to this year twenty twenty four in I Madrid,
- 22:30Spain, China at least six six times, as far back as twenty eleven
- 22:34in Switzerland, and then these other years I show here twenty seventeen, nineteen,
- 22:40twenty two, twenty three and twenty four Ukraine twenty fourteen when Bilderberg met
- 22:45in Denmark, and of course that's the year that the Russian leaning government of
- 22:49Ukraine was overthrown by Western insiders, including Victoria Newland, who can be traced
- 22:56to Builderberg directly in indirectly then also in twenty twenty two, t twenty three
- 23:00and this year disinformation evidently in Virginia in twenty seventeen, Italy twenty eighteen,
- 23:06Switzerland twenty nineteen and Washington, DC a couple of years ago, and Pharma
- 23:11medical issues Spain as far back as twenty ten when I started covering Bildeberg for
- 23:15Jim Tucker UK twenty thirteen, DC, twenty twenty two and Spain twenty twenty
- 23:21three. So you see they hang on to these issues a long time,
- 23:25which clearly suggests that they're nurturing and building on what they discussed the year before.
- 23:30So these are not just offhand, have a retreat, loosing your tie
- 23:33kind of discussions. Anyway, Another one of the topics, one of the
- 23:40topics of the thirteen this year is Middle East, as I indicate in this
- 23:44slide, and that can be traced most clearly at least to Sigrid Cog or
- 23:51Pig. I'm not sure how you pronounced their last name, Secred Cog,
- 23:55I'll say Cog in the wheel right, a Dutch diplomat and politician serving a
- 24:00Minister of Finance and first Deputy Prime Minister in the fourth Mark Rutty Cabinet.
- 24:07And she is that would be the Netherlands, and she's senior humanitarian and reconstruction
- 24:12coordinator for Gaza through the UN. So curiously, there's a Gaza concern among
- 24:19Bilderbergers this year in Madrid, and it's interesting to note that rarely, if
- 24:26ever, do you see and Israeli official at Builderberg and I can't quite fully
- 24:30explain why, So what position they're taking on Gaza. I don't know.
- 24:34Brian is curious that the WHO, for all its faults and schemes that we
- 24:41find very underhanded, the World Health Organization actually has done some admirable, laudable
- 24:48work trying to help the people of Gaza. So is Builderberg feeling a humanitarian
- 24:52impulse toward Gaza? We'll find out soon enough. Anyway, in this next
- 24:57slide, another Builderberg. I'm just kind of hitting on some highlights. There'll
- 25:02be more in depth reports coming up about certain aspects of Bilderberg that I'll be
- 25:06writing and reporting about. But of course, the changing faces of biology concerns
- 25:11mister Albert Bola, the chairman of the pharma colossus Pfizer and Borla has been
- 25:18to Builderberg. I'm going to say three times now it's at least twice,
- 25:22but I believe three times, Brian, and we'll move on from there.
- 25:26Kind of given an overall framework here, another person pertaining to the current Builderberg
- 25:33topic the changing faces of biology, is clearly doctor Pamela Rendy Wagner, nominated
- 25:40the new director of the European version of the Senators for Centers for Disease Control
- 25:47and on twenty of February twenty twenty four, she was nominated to be the
- 25:52Director of the European Centers for Disease Control for a five year period. So
- 25:56she was at Bilderberg two along with Albert Borrel and others who have an interest
- 26:00in big pharma and moving on here, Brian, this is an important aspect,
- 26:07I would contend, and I've covered Builderberg and analyzed them quite a bit,
- 26:11I would contend that if it was only the private sector, Shell Oil,
- 26:15and Diane mentioned Shell with regards to Fox Facts, Royal Dot Shell has
- 26:21been a strong underpinning of Buildeberg for many, many years, that's worth noting.
- 26:26But if it was Shell Oil, even Feizer, various private concerns.
- 26:30If they were meeting to talk about their stocks, to talk about their financial
- 26:33fortunes, without government officials there and without the media there, you might argue,
- 26:40well, they can have their country club meetings and sit their caveat and
- 26:44do what it is they do. But the problem is breaking the public trust.
- 26:48And I mentioned in this slide I don't necessarily need to go through all
- 26:52of it, but the government people there are about thirty five of one hundred
- 26:57and thirty one attendees this year in Spain Brian that's about twenty six percent,
- 27:03so a full one quarter of those there are mainly current serving government officials,
- 27:08a few former ones. And I'll mention as a quick footnote, and this
- 27:11is curious. I look twice, I'll look again, but I'm pretty sure
- 27:15there are no UK currently sitting government officials at Builderberg this year. I don't
- 27:22believe there were any. There were former ones like John Sowers who's with Newburg
- 27:27and he used to be six but any's associated with the Builderberg Association charity.
- 27:33But there appear to have been no sitting British officials there this year, which
- 27:37is curious. But some of those who were there this year from government Radislaus
- 27:42of Corsti, Polish Foreign Affairs Minister Tarun Chabra, the Senior Director for Technology
- 27:51and National Security of the US National Security Council, Adelai at DIMO, Spain's
- 27:57Foreign affairs minister. Wait a minute, no, the US Deputy Treasury Secretary
- 28:03is Adelaide, pardon me, And then Spain's Foreign Affairs Minister Jose Alberres,
- 28:11and then some of the media. We have Anne Applebaum of the Atlantic.
- 28:15Of course, we have Gideon Rahman of the Financial Times, the chief Foreign
- 28:21affairs commentator, Matthias Dapfner, the share and CEO of Actual Springer. He's
- 28:26notable because last year, working with Zanni Mitt and Budles are the economists,
- 28:30who of course was there this year as well. They announced through the economists
- 28:36that Axel Springer was going to make a major foray into the US media market.
- 28:41But the media, they sell out their ethics at the door of Bilderberg,
- 28:45just as government officials cannot claim that they can jettison or get rid of
- 28:52their government officials a government title or government duties. That is, they can't
- 28:56just lead that at the door and go break bread with these private tiers.
- 29:00That's an absolute breaking of the public trust, as it is with the media.
- 29:06And here in this next slide, I'll just mention in passing, I'm
- 29:11looking at something called Builderberg channels. And this is US Army General retired David
- 29:17Petraeus, former CIA director and a frequent Builderberg attendee. For the last ten
- 29:22or eleven years, he's been assigned to a key Builderberg post. That is
- 29:25KKR Global Institute and the founder of kk R. Henry Cravis is the husband
- 29:30of Bilderberg Steering Committee co chair Marie Cravis, who also has the American Friends
- 29:36of Builderberg charity. So we'll be looking at mister Petraeus Brian in some future
- 29:41reports very soon, both on the screen and in the written word by me.
- 29:47I'll be looking at this more closely. The real reason why KKR wants
- 29:51portray Us on call, and I argue and Forbes kind of suggests at least
- 29:56that Portrayus's connection and I would say, including the one through Builderberg especially,
- 30:03are what really give KKR an edge and hiring him portray Us to head that
- 30:10KKR Global Institute. So Portraeus's Builderberg connections make him very handy and useful for
- 30:18that private equity firm KKR, which is among the world's most powerful equity firms.
- 30:22And then these last couple slides are articles I did on Builderberg Brian this
- 30:27one last year in August. Builderberg Beyond the Meetings Part one. I'm looking
- 30:33at doing part two pretty soon, which will take into account not only this
- 30:37year's meeting, but looking beyond just the phenomenon of the annual meetings. And
- 30:42back about several years ago I did one other one and we can show that
- 30:48slide and I can conclude a Builderberger in action Joseph Ackerman a German born banker,
- 30:55and he took over Cyprus some years ago. I wrote this article in
- 31:00twenty fifteen when Cypress had his financial woes and he became the virtual economic Viceroy
- 31:06of Cypress. So it's interesting when Bilderbergers enter into action. And that's what
- 31:10we'll be looking at, Brian in my future reports and that second installment I
- 31:15plan on writing to look beyond just the annual meetings and really get into the
- 31:18nitty gritty as to where these channels go. So over to you, Marleric,
- 31:23thank you very much. While we're looking at the power base which in
- 31:26my opinion certainly ultimately controls politics and we need to do much more of this.
- 31:32Who are these people, who are the authorities they work with, all
- 31:37the organizations and what's their true agenda? Well, if you like what UK
- 31:42Column does, then please support us for a mere five pounds a month.
- 31:48That donation makes a huge difference to what we can do. And of course
- 31:51it's our funding members that allow UK Column to work and be here. So

- 32:01expand. Now, the information we put out is always there to be shared.
- 32:07Give us a mention please. We just say that we're still having problems
- 32:10with Facebook. We seem to be blocked from our own account, but we
- 32:14are working on that. At the moment. You can always help us out
- 32:17by making a purchase through the UK Column shop. We're in summer, but
- 32:22if the weather's similar to Plymouth at the moment, maybe you should look at
- 32:28a hoodie. We'll see what happens. Now, I'd just like to give
- 32:31a mention to our virtual event Sunday, the sixteenth of June ten am when
- 32:37the UK Column team, that's just some of the team on screen. We'll
- 32:40be talking about UK Column, what we've done, how we arrived, where
- 32:45we are, and we'll be encouraging our supporters to join in get fully behind
- 32:52the UK Column because our intention for the future is to expand and you can
- 32:58help us do that. Now, where does that take us? This is
- 33:01another BBC article Diane talked about us being bombarded with facts. People were claiming
- 33:10that I think we're being bombarded with propaganda, and of course BBC is a
- 33:15lead, but this caught my attention Writer's pride over queer Welsh adoption drama,
- 33:21and the caption under the photograph says that writer Daf James says is bilingual drama
- 33:28about a same sex couple adopting feels like a massive triumph. Now I can
- 33:31tell our audience that in the time from the time that I took this clip
- 33:37and it's live with us on UK column now that headline has changed and the
- 33:42headline above the photo says lost boys and Fairies writer proud of adoption drama.
- 33:49So clearly there's been a problem in the BBC with the language that they've used
- 33:52and that's had to be changed. But as I got into this article,
- 33:58I felt deeply uncomfortable, and maybe not entirely for the reason some people may
- 34:02think. Was this image that caught my attention because the caption that went with
- 34:07this is that the couple social worker Jackie played by Elizabeth Berrington, assesses,
- 34:14supports and guides them the two men through the adoption process, and of course
- 34:19in the image is a rather nice looking lady, very kind who's helping these
- 34:23two gentlemen to adopt. But there's some questions, let's think about them.
- 34:28Did the children's parents consent to their children being taken for adoption? Under what
- 34:34circumstances were these children taken from their original birth parents? Did the children's parents
- 34:39consent to their children being placed with a male couple? And question three,
- 34:45did the children have a say in how they would be brought up? And
- 34:49I'm going to suggest to the audience that nobody was consulted. I may be
- 34:54wrong on this, but I'm going to draw viewers' attention back to work that
- 35:00the UK column was doing way back in twenty thirteen, and on this occasion,
- 35:06we put out a video of a baby being snatched, a newborn baby
- 35:09being snatched from its mother's arms by very callous, coldhearted social services people.
- 35:15The video will be in the show notes for today's news. This was a
- 35:21still that we put up on the fifth of April twenty thirteen. Two ladies
- 35:27taking the baby, the mother screaming. It was truly harrowing to watch what
- 35:32was happening. We asked what kind of women can help snatch a newborn baby
- 35:37from his mother and remain so cold. We also asked who these women were.
- 35:43And as I was looking at this information this morning, what happened was
- 35:47an email came in where another mother was asking the UK column for help because
- 35:53her children have been taken snatched by social services. Now I can't show you
- 35:59detail, but it says, good morning, I've seen a video of view
- 36:02on TikTok regarding the corruption of social services and my children were taken. So
- 36:08this is the harrowing reality of children and social services. Children taken with claims
- 36:16of risk of future emotional harm, never proven to any satisfactory standard, but
- 36:24in a court with no jury, no public, no press, and those
- 36:29children simply handed on to other individuals. I am going to say, immensely
- 36:34cruel. And the UK column is working hard in the background see if we
- 36:37can get the lid off exactly what is happening around children being taken in UK
- 36:45and the numbers which run into the thousands. We'll end that segment there.
- 36:51Dian, Let's bring you back in because you've been dealing with the traumatic subject
- 36:55of vaccine damage and you've recently attended the Raleigh up in Glasgow. Tell us
- 37:01what you found. Yes, Brian, we just got back at about two
- 37:07in the morning last night from this vaccine injury event in Glasgow, traveling back
- 37:13to Edinburgh, the middle of the night. Not a fun place to be
- 37:15on the inmate at one in the morning when it's raining. But so first
- 37:19I want to say that this was an event called the Bring the Noise Podcast
- 37:23Vaccine Injury Yes fundraising event sponsored by Bring the Noise podcast John Watt, who
- 37:30has been interviewed previously on the UK column. I believe we have a little
- 37:35video clip of the supporting act, so I didn't know who that was,
- 37:54but I posted this on Twitter last night. If you want my full coverage
- 37:58from last night, please go to my Twitter which is d I A n
- 38:01E. Uk C. That's Diane UKC. Please follow me with air.
- 38:06I found out on Twitter this morning that somebody replied and that is someone called
- 38:10hand Pan Guy on TikTok, and Mike told me that he is commonly seen
- 38:15at other similar events, that the kind of music that he plays sort of
- 38:20meant to chill people out, and I was definitely feeling chilled out, and
- 38:22I was very interested in that instrument that he was playing, which apparently he
- 38:25makes himself. So it was really interesting to hear that, so which was
- 38:31good for what was to come, because I would say the rest of the
- 38:34event was quite obviously emotional, very sad for those who are there who are
- 38:39seriously injured and seeking answered, and also just because of the controversial nature of
- 38:45the panel. So if we can go through this photo that I have from
- 38:49the panel, going from well from left to right. In the picture,
- 38:52we have John Watt, Alex Mitchell who was vaccine injured, Adam Roland,
- 38:58who is very very sweet. I met him last night and Debbie has interviewed
- 39:02him on the column previously. We have doctor Tina Peers, we have doctor
- 39:07John Campbell, and Neil Hanby who is an albat MP up here in Scotland.
- 39:14I would like to note that this is a UK Column exclusive. Somebody
- 39:16said I think it was John Watt who asks if there are any journalists in
- 39:20the audience. I know UK column is here tonight. You guys are sound
- 39:22and so of course I raised my hand and cheered at that one. There
- 39:27weren't any other media organizations there that I could see, so I was really
- 39:30happy to be there to at least support the vaccine injured, regardless of what
- 39:35we might think of some of the panelists one way or the other. And
- 39:38in particular I would like to talk about doctor Rasin Mahatra who was there,
- 39:44but as you saw, he was not on the panel. He tweeted earlier
- 39:47in the day yesterday that he was well. He was in Geneva on Saturday
- 39:52for the Freedom of Protest event in front of the UN protesting the pandemic treaty
- 39:58or stuff. But he he took a flight from Dublin to Scotland yesterday and
- 40:05he tweeted that as they were boarding the plane, a passenger took it into
- 40:08a cardiac arrest and he had to help save the patient. So he was
- 40:15there on time For his part. It made it sound like he wasn't going
- 40:19to be there on time, but he was. Unfortunately, though, he
- 40:22left at sort of the interval and didn't come back, and so he wasn't
- 40:27there for the question and answer period. And I know that he sort of
- 40:30tried to address during his part of the formal part of the discussion that he
- 40:35was aware that people have questioned why he hasn't been helping more of the vaccine
- 40:40injured in the UK, because he should have the knowledge to do so.
- 40:45However, he said that he sees it as his role to serve around the
- 40:47world and that's why he's been traveling to different countries. There are some people
- 40:51who think he was doing it just because he likes his speaking engagements, and
- 40:53he has six hundred thousand followers on Twitter and on these things, so some
- 40:58questions there for me. So I stayed there until past midnight with my husband
- 41:05John, who was there videoing most of it holding his phone up with his
- 41:08one working hands, and we've got most of it on video, so maybe
- 41:13we can do a short clip once we have a chance to get that edited.
- 41:15The VIP event, which I was able to get to as being the
- 41:20only media person there, there are also some vaccine injured people who were there
- 41:24were talking about meeting the speakers. Of course, nobody got to meet doctor
- 41:30Malhaltra because he had taken off to his hotel wherever he was. I did
- 41:34get to see it, got to meet Adam which spoke with him for a
- 41:37few minutes again very very sweet man. There's me with my husband John,
- 41:44and with the other John Watt, and then another John, John Campbell with
- 41:49my husband John as well, so lots of John's there at the VIP event.
- 41:52I didn't give a chance to speak with John Campbell directly, but there
- 41:57was some again vaccine injured people there who are really trying hard to understand what
- 42:02was going on give the answers. We had a podcaster, Craig Houstin,
- 42:08who I did not expect to see there last night. He was there to
- 42:13sort of give the He was kind of the m C. He ran the
- 42:16auction. He spoke to everyone a little bit. And John and I are
- 42:21huge fans of Craig Houston. He's based in Glasgow. He has brilliant commentary
- 42:25about all of the the SMP issues, we'll just say that, and he's
- 42:31really really funny. So I got a chance to catch up with him,
- 42:34and I hope that maybe we can get him on the column at some point
- 42:37as a guest in the future because he was just such a great man and
- 42:39so hilarious. So hopefully we can have some more discussion in extra But just
- 42:45to say a few things, I guess if I have a little bit of
- 42:49time, not a whole lot, but there were a really a couple of
- 42:52important points people trying to get answers. One of the biggest reveals that I
- 42:58found was really really interesting about some of the Q and A in particular,
- 43:02was, for example, there was an A and E doctor who was there
- 43:06who was obviously very switched on, very awake to what's been happening. And
- 43:09he said during the last few years, when people have been coming in with
- 43:13blood plots and brain bleeds and hemorrhaging, and that the other doctors who were
- 43:17there serving in a ANDE have said, well, this is the price that
- 43:21we have to pay to keep everyone safe. I thought that was absolutely disgusting.
- 43:27I heard from Tina Peers, doctor Tina Pears, who got some pushback
- 43:32from the audience because she said that she had taken the jabs because she was
- 43:37forced to do so, so she got some pushback for that. She also
- 43:40said that she had a treatment for COVID in twenty twenty, so there were
- 43:45questions from the audience around was it COVID or was it something else. She
- 43:49went into a discussion about maths cell disorders, which I didn't quite follow,
- 43:52but that's what she was blaming for what she was calling long COVID. Neil
- 44:00Harvey, Neil Neil Handby. Sorry, the MP got a lot of questioning
- 44:04because he was trying to say, well, labor is not going to get
- 44:07us out of this problem in the general election, and there were literally people
- 44:09in the audience yelling back at him. Nobody is going to get us out
- 44:14of this. You're not getting us out of this. We need complete change
- 44:16everywhere. We need reform. Audience members asking about why aren't you talking about
- 44:22Agenda twenty thirty, Why aren't you talking about depopulation? Nobody wanted to go
- 44:25there. There was still a bit a bit afraid to go into those sort
- 44:30of bigger questions that some of us have. As I was like tweeting,
- 44:34I was tweeting a question from the audience, and I know that this has
- 44:37not been verified, but it was a question that came up about graphing and
- 44:43things floating around in people's bodies as a result, I'm not saying one way
- 44:45or the other on that issue for myself, but the question came up,
- 44:51and I was tweeting that my Twitter account got locked out and I lost everyone
- 44:54that I was following temporarily and I had to answer a bunch of complicated questions
- 44:59to get back into may account. So also makes me wonder if Elon Musk
- 45:01is as in favor of free speech as he says he is, because it
- 45:06was just very strange timing brain. Okay, Diane, thank you very much
- 45:10for that report. Well, it's tragic that so many people are suffering from
- 45:14these injuries and there's still no proper reaction from the government. But then,
- 45:17of course we know the government is in bed with the pharma pharmaceutical companies that
- 45:23say their products are safe, and the UK Column will be doing much more
- 45:28to expose what the dialogue has been between some of these companies and the so
- 45:34called safety regulator, the MHRRA. So stay posted with UK Column for future
- 45:39news reports. Mark, let's bring you back in because supposedly again now government,
- 45:45our politicians both sides of the Atlantic would have us believe that the World
- 45:51Health Organization has our best interests at heart. Indeed, lots of irony is
- 46:00found here, Brian noting here the World Health Assembly Agreement reached on wide ranging,
- 46:06decisive package of amendments to improve the international Health regulations. Those rags actually
- 46:13go back to sanitation guidelines of the UN back in the nineteen fifties, and
- 46:17then the IHR were officially created in nineteen sixty nine. They were amended in
- 46:22two thousand and five, so they've been a long pre existing thing. There's
- 46:25really not any surprise in my book that the IHR update the amendments the update
- 46:31of those amendments was completed. Of course, the other side of the package
- 46:36is the opposite side of the ledger, is that the treaty was not and
- 46:42as James Riguski indicated on UK column this past Friday, and I'm noting now,
- 46:46they could call a special session. It could easily go into late this
- 46:51year or even the next World Health Assembly, the seventy eighth in the spring
- 46:54of twenty twenty five, before they really get a crack at that treaty.
- 47:00That does by time for those opposed to that accord to marshal their forces as
- 47:05it were, and reiterate their objections and their concerns about the treaty. It's
- 47:12no real surprise the regulations were updated, given their history and how long they've
- 47:15been established. Of course, the things that mister Gagski mentioned about quarantine and
- 47:22the increased quarantine powers of countries for travelers is a huge concern in the articles
- 47:29of the IHR here on this slide, I need not go through all of
- 47:32them in the interest of time. But Taedros Gabriasis, the Director General of
- 47:38the who had this to say. The decision to conclude the Pandemic Agreement within
- 47:44the next year demonstrates how strongly and urgently countries want that treaty, which I
- 47:51think is not necessarily the case. I don't think that they all, you
- 47:55know, are chomping at the bit to get that treaty done necessarily, that's
- 48:00something to be yet determined. Because he added, the new pandemic is a
- 48:05matter of when, not if. Of course, the avian or bird flu
- 48:08is still the top candidate. Today's strengthening of the IHR provides powerful momentum.
- 48:15Tadrose added to complete the pandemic agreement in his opinion, which once finalized,
- 48:21can help to prevent a repeat of the devastation to health societies and economies caused
- 48:29by COVID nineteen. Of course, the most disturbing thing here, and this
- 48:32ties into what Diana is saying, is that the devastation caused at that time
- 48:37is also the devastation caused by the Jabs and the WHO in never mentioning that
- 48:44in the IHR and treaty talks, that is always the biggest red flag.
- 48:49They as an institution, they do not recognize any downside officially to the mRNA
- 48:55injections and things of that nature. So that's why these issues continue to be
- 49:02such a concern. This happened around the time of Buildeberg, and in some
- 49:07ways this is a more specific and urgent thing than Buildeberg, but Buildeberg also
- 49:12reflected with Albert Morley being there. They're ties to big Pharma and trying to
- 49:15nurture those issues along anyway. The new amendments to the IHR include introducing a
- 49:22new definition of a pandemic emergency to trigger more effective international collaboration in response to
- 49:30events that are at risk of becoming or have become a pandemic. The pandemic
- 49:36emergency definition GET this represents a higher level of alarm that builds on the existing
- 49:42mechanisms of the IHR, including the determination of public health emergencies of international concern.
- 49:49According to the definition, a pandemic emergency is a communical, communicable disease
- 49:54that has or is at a high risk of having why geographic go spread to
- 50:00and within multiple states, et cetera, et cetera. These slides, of
- 50:04course, will be something people can freeze and read in more detail. Other
- 50:08changes to the IHR include a commitment to solidarity and equity or on strengthening access
- 50:15to medical products and financing more money More vaccines, etc. To avoid vaccine
- 50:22nationalism and spread these things around the world equitably. Establishment of States Parties committees
- 50:29to facilitate the effective implementation of the amended regulations, and creation of national IHR
- 50:37authorities to improve coordination of implementation of the regulations within and among countries. So
- 50:45those are some of the key highlights and changes. But here's an interesting twist.
- 50:49Brian Epoch Times on the seventeenth of maya this year brought out that the
- 50:53ex United States Centers for Disease Control director says it's high time to admit the
- 51:00significant side effects of COVID nineteen vaccines exist. And they reported this to the
- 51:07Epoch Times credit. And there's a little bit more we can say about this
- 51:12moving on from there. Again, I won't share the whole thing, but
- 51:15here's some highlights. Doctor Robert Redfield, that's his name, former director of
- 51:21the Centers for these Disease Control and Preventions, said that many officials who tried
- 51:24to warn the public about potential problems with COVID nineteen vaccines were pressured into silence,
- 51:30and that it's high time to admit that there were significant side effects that
- 51:34made people sick. Doctor Redfield made the remarks in a May sixteen interview with
- 51:40Chris Cuomo on News Nation on television, and Redfield went on to say,
- 51:45those of us that tried to suggest there may be significant side effects from vaccines,
- 51:51we kind of got canceled because no one wanted to talk about the potential.
- 51:53There was the potential that there was a problem from the vaccines, excuse
- 51:59me, because they were afraid that that would cause people not to want to
- 52:04get vaccinated, doctor Redfield said, and we'll add a little bit more in
- 52:10his interview and News Nation, Doctor Redfield said the vaccines that were developed as
- 52:15part of Operation Warp Speed were important and saved a lot of lives. However,
- 52:20despite their benefits, the drawbacks of the vaccines must be a matter of
- 52:23open discussions. So, doctor Redfield, Brian was part of Operation Warp Speed
- 52:29at the time Donald Trump was president pushing that operation, and that kind of
- 52:34gives you the timeline of when he got involved in all this. So at
- 52:38least we're seeing a longtime CDC official admit to a reasonable degree that there's real
- 52:45problem, something that the who can't seem to accomplish. So back to you,
- 52:51Brian, Yeah, well, thank you very much. For bringing us
- 52:53up to date there, and of course what have we got. We've got
- 52:57another global organization, the World Health Organization, setting policy which politicians in our
- 53:04respective countries effectively just implement without any full and open dialogue with the punk public.
- 53:12So is the government running the country as far as health's concerned, or
- 53:15is it now the World Health Organization? It's very difficult to tell. But
- 53:21let's move on again. The subject is really propaganda in a way. But
- 53:24we're back with the BBC and I think this is appropriate. Remember that if
- 53:29you are enjoying watching UK column News on a Monday, Wednesday, a Friday,
- 53:35three times a week BBC News, BBC propaganda is on the hour,
- 53:42every hour of every day. So this is the power of it. This
- 53:46is the headline here Tories pledge to tackle confusion over the legal definition of sex.
- 53:53So the BBC is trying to suggest to the public that this issue of
- 53:58what a man or a woman is is now so difficult for ordinary people to
- 54:02understand that they can't really understand the policy that we're going through in the election.
- 54:09Of course, Richie Sunnac gets a quote. Let's see what they say.
- 54:14He said on the matter the safety of women and girls is too important
- 54:19to allow the current confusion around definitions of sex and gender to persist. Well,
- 54:24where has the confusion come from. Of course, it's come from government
- 54:29policy, both on the labor and the conservative side. He went on to
- 54:32say, the Conservatives believe that making this change in law will enhance protections in
- 54:37a way that respects the privacy and dignity of everyone in society. So this
- 54:44is the twist. The Conservatives under Richie are really saying, we're here to
- 54:50protect you and we are going to make the necessary rules to protect people.
- 54:57But if we look at how the policy is evolved over the years, the
- 55:00reality is it's been the development of the policy itself around men and women and
- 55:07what their sexual identifyer is. It's been that policy which has confused more and
- 55:13more people. Now I want to take our audience's mind back to Eric Pickles.
- 55:17This is the eleventh of April twenty thirteen that the UK column reported this
- 55:23quote, and what we said at the time was Eric Pickles, the local
- 55:28government secretary, leaves no doubt about what the real message is. He stated
- 55:32recently April twenty thirteen, we are going to shake up the balance of power
- 55:38in this country. We are going to change the nature of the constitution,
- 55:44being no doubt about our commitment to localism. I know I look like an
- 55:49unlikely revolutionary, but the revolution starts here and I'm going to strongly suggest to
- 55:54our audience that this is exactly what's been unleashed on the public. Loss,
- 56:00confusion and breakdown is a key driver for the destabilization necessary for revolution. And
- 56:07it's the Conservative government the moment that is doing what it said it was going
- 56:10to do in twenty thirty, which is to bring in chaos in order to
- 56:15start that revolution and breakdown. And now apparently we have an electorate that doesn't
- 56:21understand the difference between a man and a woman. But if Eric Pickles wasn't
- 56:25enough that the same news report we also commented on Nicholas Bowles MP, who
- 56:32was quoted in the Garden at that time and elsewhere that the then Prime Minister
- 56:37and his deputy Nick Klegg want their quote people power revolution to unleash chaotic effects
- 56:45across local communities. Chaotic. Therefore, in our votecabury, that's the Conservative
- 56:52and Lib dem vocabrey is a good thing. And this was backed up by
- 56:58Danny Krueger, Cameron advisor and Tory candidate for Sedgefield, who said that the
- 57:04Conservatives plan to introduce a period of what he described as creative destruction in the
- 57:10public services. So against that background, I'm going to say, for me,
- 57:15it is very clear that if you cannot understand the confusion and chaoe and
- 57:20breakdown that's unfolding around us in all aspects of our society, but particularly in
- 57:27language and understanding, even the understanding of what a man and a woman is,
- 57:30this is an orchestrated attack from within our own government. Now let's move
- 57:36on, because the article in the in the BBC text quickly spoke about the
- 57:42Equality and Human Rights Commission. I paid attention and visited the website. Most
- 57:47people won't, they'll take it at face value. But of course the first
- 57:52thing we see here is this organization operates a business plan. So are we
- 57:58dealing with a is I government body with our best interests at heart or are
- 58:02we dealing with the business plan? Is very difficult to know. And another
- 58:07one here is it saying an update on our approach to regulating artificial intelligence.
- 58:15So now we see, as Diane mentioned earlier on, we're seeing links through
- 58:19to the power of the use of artificial intelligence to control the way the public
- 58:24behaves. We've got a little video clip here talking about the Equality and Human
- 58:29Rights Commission. Let's have a look at it. It's about being open minded,
- 58:40having respect for human dignity. It's about recognizing the good in people and
- 58:47being fair and decent to each other. These are the values we all recognize
- 58:54the principles of equality and human rights. But how can we all conte it
- 59:00to affair more equal and prosperous society for future generations. We have got to
- 59:07start providing some guidance because this will be a time that defines us. If
- 59:27everyone gets a fair chance, we all drive. So think about the message
- 59:40we ordinary people, men and women. We don't know enough about life to
- 59:46organize our relations with other human beings. We need the Equality and Human Rights
- 59:51Commissioned to do us to it for us and immense cynicism. I think in
- 59:55that little video clip, the lady to me was a blue rid It's Tory,
- 1:00:00and so the words coming out of her mouth is designed for other voters
- 1:00:05to pick up on what she's saying as if this was the way we should
- 1:00:09be going. So think through what are we dealing with a government appointed body
- 1:00:15which is telling us how to interact with other human beings under a business plan.
- 1:00:21There are some weaknesses, I think, and if we have a look
- 1:00:22at what the business plan talks about, it's these topics. I won't give
- 1:00:28you them all, but I just want to highlight a couple. We've got
- 1:00:30tackling sexual harassment in the workplace, supporting change excuse me, and uniform services.
- 1:00:37This is really important because this is driving the woke agenda into the police
- 1:00:43and the military in particular. But they're at number three. We've got regulating
- 1:00:47artificial intelligence and tackling digital exclusion. So here are these people. They're working
- 1:00:54on everything, including upholding freedom of expression supposedly, but they're also building their
- 1:01:00own organization and developing their people. So we had a little look into the
- 1:01:07team to see what we could see. This is Jessica Butcher mb AND.
- 1:01:13She was appointed for four years a serial technology entrepreneur, angel investor and business
- 1:01:20advisor and co founder CMO of Blipper from twenty eleven to twenty fifteen during its
- 1:01:27rapid assent as one of the global tech pioneers. Now she has been voted
- 1:01:31by the government to look after our relationships with other people. It seems to
- 1:01:37me that her main drive is and business, but she's got lots of personal
- 1:01:42opinions about the issue of personal relations ships and I believe this is one of
- 1:01:47the reasons why the government a selector. And of course she's received an award
- 1:01:52including the BBC's Top one hundred Women. So here we see the circle going
- 1:01:57around. But if you want to have a look at Blipper here, they
- 1:02:00are transforming the world around us. But look at the sub headline creating your
- 1:02:07own metaverse there, and if I bring this one up, you see the
- 1:02:12value of the business that we're dealing with. So according to this site from
- 1:02:15this lady, the projected value of the metaverse by twenty thirty is five trillion
- 1:02:22dollars. But don't worry, their main interest is how you interact with fellow
- 1:02:29human beings. So this is a bit more from the site itself. I
- 1:02:35just bring up that artificial intelligence one here again they're going to be regulating it.
- 1:02:43Well, are they going to be doing that or are they going to
- 1:02:45be facilitating the use of artificial intelligence to the best to the best outcome for
- 1:02:53those global corporations. It's very difficult to say, but I just want to
- 1:02:59bring all screen Mike Robinson's slide from way back the twenty seventh of October twenty
- 1:03:05twenty three, because he'd picked up that Rishi was quoted as saying that the
- 1:03:08British people should have peace of mind that we're developing the most advanced projections for
- 1:03:14AI of any country in the world, and he went on to say,
- 1:03:19the UK's answer is not to rush to regulate. This is a point of
- 1:03:22principle. We believe it's innovation. It's a hallmark of the British economy,
- 1:03:28so we will always have a presumption to encourage it, not to stifle it.
- 1:03:32And finally, instead we're building world leading capability to understand and evaluate the
- 1:03:38safety of AI models within government. So is the government body working for the
- 1:03:44best interests of the public or is it really there working alongside the government in
- 1:03:49the best interests of the business. It's difficult to tell. But here's another
- 1:03:53twist. If we look at the Equality in Human Rights Commission and people involved,
- 1:03:59we've got May Thompson. She is also the CEO of Media Trust here.
- 1:04:05She was CEO of the Women's Foundation Hong Kong. She's held senior positions
- 1:04:11at the Walt Disney Company in the Financial Times, she's been part of the
- 1:04:15all Well Foundation, and she's one of the Charity Times Top fifteen Women Leaders.
- 1:04:20So immensely powerful woman who's worked with companies such as Walt Disney. But
- 1:04:28why do we sorry? Why are we interested in that? Well, let's
- 1:04:30have a look at this little video clip from the Media Trust itself. Media
- 1:04:36Trust is a unique charity that changes lives through the power of media. For
- 1:04:42over twenty one years, we've been asking media professionals to give something back,
- 1:04:46empowering charities, communities, and individuals to have a voice and be heard.
- 1:04:55And it's not just broadcast journalists helping out either. Last year alone, six
- 1:04:59hundred media professionals volunteered their time, their passion, and their expertise to over
- 1:05:04three thousand, five hundred charitable causes. We're stalling the detail. Media Trust
- 1:05:15gives opportunities, encouragement, and most importantly of all, practical health, enabling
- 1:05:21those charities to establish themselves and raise their essential funds. Media Trust works to
- 1:05:30support marginalized communities, giving them both skills and confidence to challenge the way their
- 1:05:35community is perceived. Isn't it time we change the record. Media Trust uses
- 1:05:44the power of the media to inspire, to support, to train, and
- 1:05:46mentor young people. We make sure they're armed with the essential tools they need
- 1:05:51to find work and become self sufficient. Media trusts work transforms lives. Please
- 1:06:06help us to keep making a difference. So there we are trust us to
- 1:06:14make a difference. They're transforming lives. But why do they want to transform
- 1:06:18lives? We'll have a look at the small print of the Media Trust and
- 1:06:21are bringing up on screen for you here because it says that our Western Communicating
- 1:06:27Climate Program, initiated and funded by the Goarfield Western Foundation, supported thirty environmental
- 1:06:33charities to extend the power reach and impact their communications. And what do they
- 1:06:39want to push across It's climate change. And what's more is that they are
- 1:06:45working directly with the output of COP twenty six, where many participants were able
- 1:06:51to translate their learning into action, hosting events and exhibitions at the summit showcase
- 1:06:57stories of climate action, and secure media coverage. So I'm going to end
- 1:07:02it there, but just to say that if we follow through what the government,
- 1:07:05what the BBC say is happening with these organizations, it is very easy
- 1:07:12if you're methodical to work out there's something completely different happening. We're out of
- 1:07:16time now for the UK Column News, so I must end there. But
- 1:07:23as always, do your own research, be methodical and you will see that
- 1:07:29what we are being told on a daily basis is not exactly as the UK
- 1:07:32Government would have it. We will end there. Thank you very much for
- 1:07:36joining us wherever you are in the world. And if you are a monthly
- 1:07:42subscriber of UK Column, please wait for a few minutes and join us for
- 1:07:45UK Column Extra. We will see you then. UK Column News will be
