Transcript
- 0:08Speaker 1: Good afternoon. Today is Monday, the twelfth of May twenty
- 0:12Speaker 1: twenty five, just after one o'clock. Welcome to UK Column News.
- 0:15Speaker 1: I'm your host, Brian Gerrish, delighted to have Ben Rubin
- 0:18Speaker 1: with me in the studio and we're joined by Diane
- 0:22Speaker 1: Rasmusen mcaddie via live link, and we're also very very
- 0:27Speaker 1: pleased to have a guest with us for today's news. Now,
- 0:32Speaker 1: I'd just like to say weather over the weekend just
- 0:35Speaker 1: complete contrast. We had some really lovely sunny weather. The
- 0:40Speaker 1: government wasn't too happy about that, so there were a
- 0:43Speaker 1: few warnings which we'll cover later in the news, and
- 0:46Speaker 1: then that was followed in Plymouth at least by a downpour.
- 0:50Speaker 1: But we've survived amazingly. So the news today we are
- 0:54Speaker 1: going to get onto hot topics and the key topic
- 0:57Speaker 1: is immigration now known by the BBC as migration, but
- 1:03Speaker 1: that must be just a change of emphasis by the BBC.
- 1:07Speaker 1: But I'd like to say to the audience the UK
- 1:09Speaker 1: Column is absolutely going to stay on target with the
- 1:13Speaker 1: change or Change agenda. We believe that if we're to
- 1:17Speaker 1: make any progress through politics, we have to understand what's
- 1:21Speaker 1: really going on and who is driving it now. Last
- 1:25Speaker 1: Monday's News I focused on Keir Starmer. Let's get him
- 1:28Speaker 1: back up on screen. And the key bit here is that,
- 1:33Speaker 1: of course what Labor is doing, what Keir Starmer is doing,
- 1:37Speaker 1: is talking about change. We've seen this through the Tories
- 1:40Speaker 1: as well, but it's the change agenda which is doing
- 1:44Speaker 1: the destruction in UK. Repeated change effectively equals revolution. And
- 1:52Speaker 1: I put up this diagram on screen saying that we
- 1:57Speaker 1: needed to stay abreast of the fact that we've got
- 2:01Speaker 1: UK locked into a hundred year packed with Ukraine. We
- 2:04Speaker 1: have no idea really what this means, or what people
- 2:08Speaker 1: are involved, or what their political opinions are, or indeed
- 2:12Speaker 1: their morality. We're locked into a memorandum of understanding with Israel.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Then we've got the EU still in the background, which
- 2:22Speaker 1: clearly we've never left Brexit without the exit. And Keir
- 2:26Speaker 1: Starmer had talked about preferring devils to Westminster. Now, if
- 2:31Speaker 1: I just add in one more section to bring us
- 2:34Speaker 1: up to date. Of course, the big thing in the
- 2:37Speaker 1: news over the weekend and today in particular is immigration.
- 2:42Speaker 1: And I had a little banner last Monday, and I'm
- 2:46Speaker 1: going to put that banner up again and say will
- 2:48Speaker 1: reform actually grip these issues. Now they're in a good
- 2:53Speaker 1: place because of the success in the local elections, and
- 2:57Speaker 1: we know a lot of people worked very, very hard.
- 3:00Speaker 1: So there are opportunities, but they're also threats. And the
- 3:03Speaker 1: key threat as far as the column is concerned, is
- 3:06Speaker 1: will the leadership of reform grip the realities about what's
- 3:11Speaker 1: driving politics. Now here's the hot topic of migration. And
- 3:17Speaker 1: let's just have a look at if at Cooper we
- 3:20Speaker 1: can pop that one up on screen please. So here
- 3:24Speaker 1: she is on the BBC and she's talking about dealing
- 3:28Speaker 1: with migration. Immigration, but she says it's time to end
- 3:34Speaker 1: care worker recruitment from abroad. So suddenly we've gone from
- 3:38Speaker 1: rubber boats to the big problem of care workers. Let's
- 3:41Speaker 1: have a listen and a look at what she said.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Well, what we're doing is it's a fundamental shift in
- 3:49Speaker 2: the approach to say that the immigration system should be
- 3:51Speaker 2: properly linked to skills and training. Here in the UK,
- 3:55Speaker 2: what you saw on that chart was really this failed
- 3:59Speaker 2: free market experiment with which the Conservatives replaced free movement,
- 4:04Speaker 2: where employers were effectively encouraged to recruit from wherever they wanted.
- 4:08Speaker 2: To including they actually had a twenty percent discount on
- 4:12Speaker 2: wages if they recruited from overseas rather than training here
- 4:16Speaker 2: in the UK. Well, that is a broken approach and
- 4:19Speaker 2: that's where we saw overseas recruitments, saw training being cut,
- 4:23Speaker 2: were switching that round and now saying well, bring in
- 4:26Speaker 2: new visa controls, particularly on the lower skilled migration to
- 4:29Speaker 2: bring that down, and also new requirements for workforce strategies,
- 4:34Speaker 2: for training commitments and for that better working to get
- 4:38Speaker 2: people who are not working back into the labor market
- 4:41Speaker 2: here in the UK.
- 4:44Speaker 1: So I think many people might listen to that clip
- 4:47Speaker 1: and say a lot of waffle, what is she really
- 4:50Speaker 1: talking about? And of course the reality is that if
- 4:53Speaker 1: that Cooper dared not talk about the reality of what's
- 4:56Speaker 1: going on, the figures or the latest figures seven hundred
- 4:59Speaker 1: and twenty eight thousand net immigration into UK ending in
- 5:06Speaker 1: the year ending June twenty twenty four. So this is
- 5:09Speaker 1: a massive figure. Ukraine has been a big part of
- 5:12Speaker 1: that extraordinary figure. But if we put one of the
- 5:15Speaker 1: diagrams from the government itself on screen here, the thing
- 5:20Speaker 1: I want to emphasize for people is that small boat
- 5:23Speaker 1: arrivals at thirty seven thousand. This is a drop in
- 5:27Speaker 1: the ocean, and the whole time that everybody focuses on
- 5:31Speaker 1: the boats, what they are not doing is focusing on
- 5:33Speaker 1: the reality of how this system works, with people pouring
- 5:37Speaker 1: into the country on all sorts of study and work visas,
- 5:42Speaker 1: and of course many of them taking jobs away from
- 5:45Speaker 1: people who are living already living in UK. If we
- 5:49Speaker 1: have a look at some of the forms of visas,
- 5:51Speaker 1: this is another graph here study visas over four hundred thousand,
- 5:58Speaker 1: work visas about three hundred and seventy thousand. Then we
- 6:02Speaker 1: have families. These are the massive, massive figures of people
- 6:06Speaker 1: coming into the country. So I just highlight those two
- 6:09Speaker 1: top ones, and then on top of this, if we
- 6:12Speaker 1: get in and have a bit more of the breakdown here. Apologies,
- 6:18Speaker 1: I've lost the logo of the source of this. We'll
- 6:22Speaker 1: correct that in the show notes. But this is applications
- 6:25Speaker 1: for health and care visas and study visas in the
- 6:28Speaker 1: year ending December twenty twenty two to November twenty twenty four.
- 6:33Speaker 1: And down at the bottom of your screen you can
- 6:35Speaker 1: see health and care that's in the purple and the
- 6:39Speaker 1: blue line, which are peaking at over two hundred and
- 6:44Speaker 1: fifty thousand and then dropping to over one hundred thousand. Now,
- 6:49Speaker 1: something that's not talked about, although it does emerge in
- 6:52Speaker 1: the figures, is that we have the International Labor Organization
- 6:56Speaker 1: at work. And if you've never heard of them, well
- 6:59Speaker 1: you need to know about them, because they're doing an
- 7:02Speaker 1: amazing job in inverted commas. Let's have a listen to
- 7:05Speaker 1: this video clip.
- 7:08Speaker 3: In twenty twenty two, the number of international migrants reached
- 7:12Speaker 3: almost two hundred and eighty five million. Of these, nearly
- 7:17Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty eight million were actively contributing to
- 7:20Speaker 3: the labor force. This means that international migrants play a
- 7:24Speaker 3: crucial role of the global economy. In twenty twenty two,
- 7:28Speaker 3: they made up almost five percent of the total labor force.
- 7:33Speaker 3: Most were living in high income countries. The regions hosting
- 7:37Speaker 3: the majority of migrants in the labor force were in Northern,
- 7:40Speaker 3: Southern and Western Europe, Northern America, and the Arab States.
- 7:46Speaker 3: So what are these migrant workers doing. Most employed international
- 7:50Speaker 3: migrants were in the services sector. The sector accounts for
- 7:54Speaker 3: more than eighty percent of employed migrant women. In particular,
- 7:58Speaker 3: the caer economy bends from international migrants in the labor force,
- 8:02Speaker 3: especially women migrants. Almost one in three of employed women
- 8:07Speaker 3: migrants are in care jobs compared to one in five
- 8:10Speaker 3: of non migrant women. Learn more about the realities and
- 8:14Speaker 3: challenges of migrant workers check out the latest ILO Global
- 8:19Speaker 3: Migration Reports.
- 8:23Speaker 1: So when we look at UK statistics, we automatically start
- 8:28Speaker 1: to see the International Labor Organization at work in its
- 8:31Speaker 1: production of statistics and huge figures globally. This is some
- 8:36Speaker 1: of their stats migrants two hundred and fifty five point
- 8:41Speaker 1: seven million worldwide, with one hundred and sixty seven point
- 8:45Speaker 1: seven million in the labor force worldwide. Then we can
- 8:49Speaker 1: take a quick look at the peaks here. So the
- 8:53Speaker 1: peaks are in northern America and also into northern and
- 8:57Speaker 1: southern and western Europe with twenty three percent for Europe.
- 9:02Speaker 1: But this is the key point that UK is working
- 9:04Speaker 1: in partnership with this organization, so there should be no
- 9:08Speaker 1: surprises that UK is continuing to keep this migration running
- 9:14Speaker 1: and this routine has been going since nineteen nineteen. If
- 9:19Speaker 1: we have a look at the chronology from the International
- 9:22Speaker 1: Labor Organization itself, there are penalties to what's happening. This
- 9:26Speaker 1: is the nursing times from two thousand and seven where
- 9:30Speaker 1: it was admitting that patients were very upset by not
- 9:33Speaker 1: being able to understand what nursing and doctor nurses and
- 9:37Speaker 1: doctors were saying around them. And this is going back
- 9:40Speaker 1: to twenty eleven where Theresa May was having to admit
- 9:44Speaker 1: that there were problems in integration and this was causing difficulties,
- 9:52Speaker 1: including with security. So she said, we'll do more than
- 9:55Speaker 1: any other government before us to promote integration. The gender
- 10:01Speaker 1: is not stopping migration and immigration. The agenda is to
- 10:05Speaker 1: facilitate it. And this is very clear across all three parties.
- 10:10Speaker 1: And at which point we say, is it party politics
- 10:13Speaker 1: that's driving the agenda or are we dealing with something deeper.
- 10:17Speaker 1: And at that point, I'd like to welcome Diane on
- 10:21Speaker 1: screen because Diane, you have been looking in depth at
- 10:25Speaker 1: what's been happening with powerful organizations such as the Fabians.
- 10:33Speaker 4: Yes, thanks Brian, and hello Ben, it's good to be
- 10:35Speaker 4: here today to talk about this. I've been looking in
- 10:38Speaker 4: particular at the Faliens. There are a lot of organizations
- 10:42Speaker 4: around the world that are basically hidden in plain sights,
- 10:45Speaker 4: and I want to at this point welcome professor Gloriat
- 10:48Speaker 4: mass is my guest today. She wrote an article for
- 10:51Speaker 4: a UK column that was published a few weeks ago
- 10:54Speaker 4: called the Secret Society dedicated to New World Order, the Fabians,
- 10:58Speaker 4: and it's got some phenomenal responses from viewers, from other
- 11:03Speaker 4: people on the UK Column team, and it really exposed
- 11:06Speaker 4: quite a bit. So at this point I'd like to
- 11:08Speaker 4: invite Professor mass into the program and maybe just summarize
- 11:11Speaker 4: a bit about your article and then let's talk about
- 11:13Speaker 4: how this is relevant to what we're talking about today
- 11:15Speaker 4: in the news. So, hello, Lauria, Welcome to the UK Column.
- 11:19Speaker 5: Hi Diane, it's great to be on the show.
- 11:23Speaker 4: So if you want to just go ahead and go
- 11:25Speaker 4: through a little bit of your article and kind of
- 11:28Speaker 4: how you got to this article, how you reached this side.
- 11:30Speaker 4: I know as your editor that you started looking at
- 11:33Speaker 4: the Assistant Dying Bill and that somehow led you to
- 11:37Speaker 4: the Stadian organization. Do you want to talk a little
- 11:40Speaker 4: about the process and what you learned as you were
- 11:42Speaker 4: going through the writing.
- 11:44Speaker 5: Well, yes, my way in, as you say, was the
- 11:47Speaker 5: assisted Dying Bill, which is awaiting its third vote in Parliament,
- 11:52Speaker 5: and I noticed deep concerns from numerous sources, including concerns
- 11:59Speaker 5: from the UCS Society the Protection of the Unborn Child,
- 12:04Speaker 5: who highlighted the extent to which the bill put vulnerable
- 12:09Speaker 5: people at risk, the fact that assisted dying could not
- 12:14Speaker 5: be controlled easily, that assisted dying would undermine palliative care,
- 12:20Speaker 5: and the purported pretext for the bill terminal illness and
- 12:28Speaker 5: intractable pain were not in fact the leading causes of
- 12:33Speaker 5: assisted dying in other countries. Because, of course, there are
- 12:36Speaker 5: many other countries that have introduced similar bills, and we
- 12:39Speaker 5: have a lot of experience to draw on, including a
- 12:42Speaker 5: US study twenty fifteen that said that there was a
- 12:47Speaker 5: link between assisted dying legislation and a six percent increase
- 12:53Speaker 5: in suicides across the board, doubling more than doubling amongst
- 12:57Speaker 5: a sixty five plus age group to fourteen point five
- 13:01Speaker 5: percent of suicides, creating an increased inclination to suicide. Well,
- 13:07Speaker 5: this is horrific. And then I came across an article
- 13:10Speaker 5: by Dawn Lester. Do look out her subseck article listing
- 13:18Speaker 5: out the drugs that would be used that would create
- 13:20Speaker 5: brain death, not death. I would provide the perfect climate,
- 13:25Speaker 5: perfect conditions for organ harvesting. And then there was a
- 13:30Speaker 5: committee appointed to look into the bill where the committee
- 13:34Speaker 5: twenty three mp strong, fourteen proponents only nine opponents, so many, many, many,
- 13:42Speaker 5: many safeguards were voted away and there was selective calling
- 13:49Speaker 5: of witnesses. Brilliant article on that unheard, And just before
- 13:55Speaker 5: the bank holiday, the government released a report talking about
- 13:59Speaker 5: savings to the HS over a ten year period from
- 14:03Speaker 5: a sister dime of sixty pounds. Perhaps they timed it
- 14:08Speaker 5: so that not too many people would notice in the
- 14:10Speaker 5: run up to the bank holiday. So that was all
- 14:12Speaker 5: pretty horrific. So I started to look more into that,
- 14:16Speaker 5: only to discover that many of the main players are
- 14:20Speaker 5: members of the Fabian Society, not least the proponent of
- 14:25Speaker 5: the bill, Kim Ledbeta. She spoke at a Fabian Woman's
- 14:29Speaker 5: Network conference in September last year, and she wrote a
- 14:33Speaker 5: report under their imprint. And then there were two ministers
- 14:36Speaker 5: on the committee, which is more than usually fined in
- 14:40Speaker 5: a private member's bill, that Sarah Sackman and Stephen Kinnock.
- 14:45Speaker 5: Sarah Sackman, Minister for Courts and Legal Services, indubitably a Fabian,
- 14:51Speaker 5: she was elected to the Executive Committee of the Fabian Society.
- 14:55Speaker 5: Over four years, that's twenty fifteen, to nineteen and the
- 15:01Speaker 5: other minister, what do you think of that? This fact
- 15:05Speaker 5: he's Minister for Care and a proponent of an assisted
- 15:10Speaker 5: dying bill. That Stephen Kinnock. He was author of a
- 15:14Speaker 5: Fabian report and speaker with other Fabians at Fabian's events.
- 15:18Speaker 5: So his father, Neil, I believe, was a Fabian, so
- 15:23Speaker 5: maybe he's followed in his father's footsteps. And of course
- 15:26Speaker 5: presiding over all of this is the Prime Minister, Sir
- 15:30Speaker 5: Keir Starmer, and he's a Fabian, in line with all
- 15:34Speaker 5: Labor Party prime ministers. In July if you wanted evidence
- 15:40Speaker 5: twenty twenty four, the Fabian Society itself referred to working
- 15:45Speaker 5: with a Fabian Prime Minister. So that was my wake
- 15:52Speaker 5: up call really, and I thought, what is it with
- 15:54Speaker 5: the Fabian society that's so top heavy in the assistance
- 16:00Speaker 5: dying now? And so I thought I'd do some more research,
- 16:04Speaker 5: and of course, with such an important topic, it's really
- 16:08Speaker 5: vital to use evidence based critical thinking. And actually that's
- 16:15Speaker 5: the subject of a book that I wrote with second
- 16:18Speaker 5: author Catherine Armitage, and it's called light Bulb Moments and
- 16:24Speaker 5: the Power of Critical Thinking. It's a weapon we all
- 16:28Speaker 5: have in our minds, brilliantly exemplified by UK column, and
- 16:33Speaker 5: so I adopted that approach. Evidence based very important because well,
- 16:40Speaker 5: I hadn't been taught anything about Fabian society at school
- 16:45Speaker 5: nor in the university. And I've been to university several
- 16:48Speaker 5: times for first, second and third degrees. And not surprising
- 16:52Speaker 5: perhaps because mainstream school and university is not necessarily where
- 16:57Speaker 5: we might go for truth. Truth University Press has published
- 17:04Speaker 5: book on that subject, The Dark Side of Academia, How
- 17:08Speaker 5: Truth Is Suppressed, So one shouldn't phaps be too surprised,
- 17:12Speaker 5: And certainly if you're interested in that book or the
- 17:14Speaker 5: Critical Thinking book, you can get them from the website
- 17:19Speaker 5: of ww of Truth University, which is www dot truth
- 17:24Speaker 5: University dot co dot uk. They're both good reads, by
- 17:28Speaker 5: the way. Now, we shouldn't be too surprised if we
- 17:33Speaker 5: didn't know about it, as I say, because mainstream education
- 17:38Speaker 5: hasn't always been there in recent decades to tell us
- 17:41Speaker 5: the whole truth and nothing but the truth, anything but
- 17:45Speaker 5: Increasing the difficulties was the fact that the Fabians themselves
- 17:49Speaker 5: their original crest many of you may know this was
- 17:53Speaker 5: in fact a wolf in sheep's clothing, so their objectives
- 17:59Speaker 5: were overtly cloaked. They didn't mean the public to know
- 18:04Speaker 5: too much about them, I think, and so I set off,
- 18:09Speaker 5: armed with critical thinking in search of information. And some
- 18:12Speaker 5: of this information, much of it you can find in
- 18:15Speaker 5: the article that I wrote for UK column, and from
- 18:20Speaker 5: that you can glean that the Fabian Society has broadly
- 18:25Speaker 5: three main policies, three main parts to its agenda, and
- 18:31Speaker 5: one is indicated in the title of the article, the
- 18:34Speaker 5: creation of a new world order. That means the destruction,
- 18:39Speaker 5: doesn't it of the status quo. And we can see
- 18:43Speaker 5: this exemplified in the stained glass window currently in the
- 18:48Speaker 5: London School of Economics, that was one of the places
- 18:50Speaker 5: I did post graduate studies. You can see it exemplified
- 18:55Speaker 5: in the stained glass window that was designed by none
- 18:58Speaker 5: other than playwright Bernard Shaw. Now, if you look carefully,
- 19:03Speaker 5: you can see two characters on the right. Let's just
- 19:06Speaker 5: go back to the stained glass window. In terms of
- 19:08Speaker 5: the image, there are two figures there on the right.
- 19:11Speaker 5: They are destroying the world, and the man on the
- 19:18Speaker 5: right in green is Bernard Shaw, and lurking behind you
- 19:22Speaker 5: may cast a glimpse is that prest of the wolf
- 19:26Speaker 5: in sheep's clothing? So this is their gender to destroy
- 19:29Speaker 5: the world and create something different. What tools have they
- 19:32Speaker 5: been using? Well, brand has mentioned immigration and that has
- 19:37Speaker 5: been it seems a major, major, major tool in their weaponry.
- 19:43Speaker 5: And so former Fabian Fabian Society chair Roy Jenkins, some
- 19:49Speaker 5: of you may remember him. He promoted multiculturalism and cultural diversity,
- 19:56Speaker 5: so called deprioritizing the indigenous culture and such an agenda
- 20:03Speaker 5: was followed by the Blair Brown administrations. And some commentators
- 20:09Speaker 5: have suggested that Fabian labor policy, because that's what we
- 20:13Speaker 5: have to call it. I think Fabian Labor policy was
- 20:17Speaker 5: designed to actually change the ethnic and racial makeup of
- 20:22Speaker 5: British society, coming close to an act of genocide. Some
- 20:26Speaker 5: people might say, and note that the current Home Secretary,
- 20:30Speaker 5: Yvette Cooper, who has been chair of the Scottish Fabian Commissioners,
- 20:37Speaker 5: is sitting there as Home Secretary and I don't see
- 20:41Speaker 5: too much going on to stop, as Brahan said, the immigration.
- 20:46Speaker 5: So that's policy number one creation of a new world order.
- 20:50Speaker 5: Policy number two eugenics. Many of the founding members were
- 20:57Speaker 5: in favor of a eugenics agenda. Sidney Webb with his
- 21:02Speaker 5: wife Beatrice in the Book of nineteen eleven, the Prevention
- 21:06Speaker 5: of Destitution. In a chapter of that book, they advocated
- 21:10Speaker 5: eugenics approach to solve the problems of poverty bernature. Briefly,
- 21:17Speaker 5: a lecture at the Eugenic Education Society, he wrote that
- 21:21Speaker 5: this is his quote, nothing but a eugenic religion can
- 21:26Speaker 5: save our civilization from the fate that has overcome all
- 21:29Speaker 5: previous civilizations. And that's not all. Brother of Alders Huxley,
- 21:34Speaker 5: Fabian brother Julian Huxley. You can see a photo here.
- 21:41Speaker 5: He was former chair of the British Eugenics Society. He
- 21:47Speaker 5: even advocated for transhumanism. He actually coined the term transhumanism
- 21:53Speaker 5: and the idea that humans could be improved through science
- 21:56Speaker 5: and technology.
- 22:00Speaker 1: Gloria, I'm going to say thank you very very much
- 22:03Speaker 1: for taking us through that we have to move on
- 22:07Speaker 1: at the moment. I hope you'll be joining us for
- 22:11Speaker 1: extra at the end of the day's news and we
- 22:13Speaker 1: can have a look at this in more detail. But
- 22:16Speaker 1: you've absolutely taken us through the key things there that
- 22:21Speaker 1: basically we've got powers way beyond politics that are driving
- 22:26Speaker 1: the policies that are having these disastrous effects on us today.
- 22:31Speaker 1: And if we have any viewers who haven't read your
- 22:35Speaker 1: article on the UK column website. Encourage people to go
- 22:38Speaker 1: and do that. Now, Ben, you're going to take us
- 22:40Speaker 1: a bit deeper into this because you've also been looking
- 22:43Speaker 1: at the Fabian Tortoise. What have you found?
- 22:47Speaker 6: Indeed I have yes, thank you and thank you for
- 22:50Speaker 6: a fantastic article, Gloria. That was a great read, and
- 22:54Speaker 6: I highly recommend anyone to go and go and have
- 22:56Speaker 6: a look at it. I shared it on social media
- 22:58Speaker 6: over the weekend and I had some irate London School
- 23:02Speaker 6: of Economics graduates in my messages telling me how wrong
- 23:05Speaker 6: I was about their beloved Fabian Society. And actually one
- 23:08Speaker 6: of the things that you didn't quite get onto in
- 23:11Speaker 6: your report there you talked about the wolves in sheep's clothing,
- 23:13Speaker 6: which I'm going to come back to, but also the
- 23:16Speaker 6: mascot originally of the Fabian Society, or one of the mascots,
- 23:20Speaker 6: was the tortoise. Very famously, when I strike, I strike hard,
- 23:25Speaker 6: and I believe you can't prove it, but I think
- 23:28Speaker 6: that this is probably borne out by the facts behind
- 23:30Speaker 6: the scenes, that this is a direct reference that has
- 23:33Speaker 6: been made by Tortoise media, who we speak about a
- 23:36Speaker 6: lot the independent media organization started in twenty nineteen by
- 23:40Speaker 6: some former BBC editors and top OBAMA officials.
- 23:45Speaker 7: And what have you.
- 23:47Speaker 6: And I think that they are absolutely acting as wolves
- 23:51Speaker 6: in sheep's clothing, most notably through the acquisition of The Observer,
- 23:58Speaker 6: which we spoke about at the end of last year.
- 24:00Speaker 6: So this has now happened, it has been embedded. James
- 24:04Speaker 6: Harding from Tortoise Media has given the stirring leadership talk
- 24:08Speaker 6: at the Tortoise Media office to the Observer editorial team
- 24:11Speaker 6: to bring them on board, tell them about the future
- 24:14Speaker 6: direction and actually to show you what I mean by this,
- 24:18Speaker 6: like a direct reference to the wolf in sheep's clothing analogy.
- 24:23Speaker 6: Let's just have a little look at the daily sense
- 24:26Speaker 6: Maker email, which was the flagship piece of communication coming
- 24:30Speaker 6: out from Tortoise Media to its subscribers for the past
- 24:34Speaker 6: several years. This has now flipped over to the sense
- 24:39Speaker 6: Maker at the Observer, so they've done a total switcheroo
- 24:43Speaker 6: in the background. The Observer, which has been going for
- 24:46Speaker 6: about one hundred and fifty years, the world's I think
- 24:49Speaker 6: it was the first Sunday newspaper. Actually, it's been going
- 24:52Speaker 6: for an extraordinarily long time, it's got a great reputation.
- 24:57Speaker 6: Whether you agree with its politics or not, it is
- 25:00Speaker 6: a respected masthead on the news stand and it has
- 25:03Speaker 6: now been completely taken over by Tortoise Media. And I
- 25:07Speaker 6: think that this is a wolf in sheep's clothing situation.
- 25:10Speaker 6: And I suppose my question to observer read is ultimately
- 25:13Speaker 6: is do you actually really understand what's happened here? Because
- 25:16Speaker 6: I don't think that most of them will understand what's
- 25:19Speaker 6: happened here. Because the guy that I've mentioned who established
- 25:23Speaker 6: towards media is that man on the left hand side.
- 25:25Speaker 6: That's James Harding, former BBC editor. He can be seen
- 25:29Speaker 6: here at a Tortoise event from last year, maybe the
- 25:32Speaker 6: year before the responsible Ai Forum at Watersdon and wasdone
- 25:38Speaker 6: is owned by the Rothschild Foundation. In fact, in his
- 25:42Speaker 6: summary of that event he personally thanked Lord Rothschild for
- 25:46Speaker 6: the help in establishing the event as a partner. And
- 25:49Speaker 6: as we've spoken about many times previously, the counterpart to
- 25:53Speaker 6: the Rothschild Foundation in Israel is Yad hannahdev Yad Hannadev
- 25:58Speaker 6: was the institutional body that was you to fund the
- 26:01Speaker 6: construction of the Israeli Knessets and the Supreme Court, which
- 26:06Speaker 6: suggests to me that these wolves, the people currently committing
- 26:09Speaker 6: acts of unspeakable atrocity in the Middle East right now
- 26:14Speaker 6: and for the past number of decades, are actually now
- 26:18Speaker 6: in control of the Observer, and actually beyond that of
- 26:21Speaker 6: Guardian Media Group, because Guardian Media Group has gone into
- 26:25Speaker 6: a strategic partnership with Tortoise as part of that acquisition.
- 26:29Speaker 6: I think that we are looking at a prime example
- 26:33Speaker 6: of the wolf in Sheep's clothing methodology, approach tactics. Whether
- 26:39Speaker 6: it's a direct Fabian link or not, I think that's
- 26:41Speaker 6: what's happening here right with the Observer. And it's not
- 26:45Speaker 6: just happening with the Observer. We've also got a similar
- 26:47Speaker 6: thing going on at the BBC at the moment. We've
- 26:49Speaker 6: spoken about the local Democracy reporter scheme extensively over the
- 26:55Speaker 6: past couple of years. I brought them up earlier on
- 26:57Speaker 6: this year. They've just announced a new round of of
- 27:00Speaker 6: contracts that they put out. One of the people running
- 27:03Speaker 6: this that the BBC is saying that the result of
- 27:05Speaker 6: this process means that every part of the country will
- 27:08Speaker 6: be covered by a local democracy reporter. So the BBC
- 27:11Speaker 6: is paying the wages of journalists through one hundred and
- 27:16Speaker 6: eighteen separate.
- 27:17Speaker 7: Contracts across the whole of the UK.
- 27:21Speaker 6: That are then operated that work for other news titles.
- 27:26Speaker 6: BBC is the Wolf, the local news titles are the
- 27:30Speaker 6: sheep's clothing essentially. Yeah, and the media, whether people realize
- 27:34Speaker 6: it or not, is being very aggressively controlled and managed
- 27:37Speaker 6: behind the scenes by international capital and the government. And
- 27:43Speaker 6: I think we were really good to keep our eye
- 27:44Speaker 6: on this.
- 27:45Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 27:45Speaker 1: And clearly it's way beyond politics, even a uniparty system.
- 27:51Speaker 1: We see this thing everywhere and the tentacles are growing.
- 27:55Speaker 7: Now.
- 27:56Speaker 1: I'm just going to jump ahead to a video where
- 27:59Speaker 1: Richard Twice was being asked some questions about immigration, if
- 28:04Speaker 1: we could find that one, please, Mike. And the significance
- 28:08Speaker 1: of this was that he'd been given quite a hard
- 28:10Speaker 1: time where he was ambushed with a question on Ukraine,
- 28:18Speaker 1: but eventually he got onto the subject of immigration and
- 28:21Speaker 1: let's hear what he said.
- 28:24Speaker 9: Great, let's talk about your plans and what you said
- 28:28Speaker 9: you wanted to appoint a minister for deportations. I think
- 28:33Speaker 9: we've already got one of those, and that's called the
- 28:35Speaker 9: Home Structorary. What would you deportations do.
- 28:38Speaker 10: Clearly not working. As clearly not working is it, because
- 28:42Speaker 10: the reality is the reality is that we've just won
- 28:46Speaker 10: by an absolute landslide the elections Thursday last week because
- 28:52Speaker 10: people are raging furious about the levels of both illegal
- 28:57Speaker 10: and legal immigration in this I mean smashing the gangs
- 29:02Speaker 10: is clearly failing. It's encouraging the gangs. We've got over
- 29:05Speaker 10: thirty percent more illegal migrants crossing the Channel this year alone,
- 29:11Speaker 10: and the quantity of removals is frankly a drop in
- 29:15Speaker 10: the ocean. What the Labor Party is now working out
- 29:19Speaker 10: and realizing they've got their immigration white paper which come onto,
- 29:22Speaker 10: is that they've got a major problem because reform is
- 29:25Speaker 10: leading in the polls because people want this issue sorted,
- 29:28Speaker 10: They want.
- 29:29Speaker 7: The boats to stop.
- 29:30Speaker 10: And frankly, I think the majority of this country agree
- 29:32Speaker 10: with our policy. We need to freeze immigration because the
- 29:35Speaker 10: way to get our economy, To answer your first question,
- 29:37Speaker 10: the way to get our economy going is to freeze immigration.
- 29:41Speaker 10: Get wages up for British workers, train our own people,
- 29:44Speaker 10: get our own people who are economically inactive back into work.
- 29:47Speaker 10: We've got nine million people economically inactive in this country.
- 29:51Speaker 9: Look, you criticize people like me specifically for not treating
- 29:56Speaker 9: you seriously. And I'm quite happy for you to do
- 29:59Speaker 9: a victory law and because your people did very well,
- 30:02Speaker 9: But that means that, you know, we want to know
- 30:07Speaker 9: viewers want to know what it is you would do,
- 30:11Speaker 9: so you know, with respect, I'm asking you, what is
- 30:15Speaker 9: the meaning of your central plan the Minister for deportation?
- 30:19Speaker 9: What would that person do? What past she would she
- 30:22Speaker 9: he or she had that the home sectuary doesn't have.
- 30:26Speaker 9: How many deportations would you invent?
- 30:28Speaker 10: As When Nigel talked about that Minister for Deportations in
- 30:32Speaker 10: a press conference a couple of weeks ago, he said,
- 30:33Speaker 10: we'd put more meat on a bone, and we'll be
- 30:35Speaker 10: having a press conference in the next couple of weeks
- 30:37Speaker 10: putting meat on that bone. But the bottom line is
- 30:40Speaker 10: people want the people who are here illegally removed. People
- 30:44Speaker 10: want foreign criminals who have committed crimes removed full stop.
- 30:49Speaker 10: The Labor Party is talking the talk, will they actually
- 30:51Speaker 10: walk the walk?
- 30:54Speaker 8: Well.
- 30:55Speaker 1: I found that exceptionally interesting interview and the point that
- 30:59Speaker 1: I'm making by showing the clip is that Richard Tice
- 31:03Speaker 1: had the opportunity to be talking about what the real
- 31:07Speaker 1: system around migration and immigration is and the scale of it.
- 31:12Speaker 7: But he didn't do that.
- 31:13Speaker 1: What he's mentioned was the crossing the channel, the boats,
- 31:16Speaker 1: the rubber boats coming across the channel, and he's talking
- 31:19Speaker 1: about getting rid of immigrants who are in prison. This
- 31:23Speaker 1: is a tiny, tiny fraction of the overall problem. And
- 31:26Speaker 1: I think the key thing is that we've got to
- 31:29Speaker 1: see parties like Reform or any of the other small
- 31:33Speaker 1: parties that want to challenge migration and the immigration figures
- 31:38Speaker 1: into UK. They've got to be talking about the system
- 31:41Speaker 1: as it actually is, the complexities of it and the
- 31:45Speaker 1: scale of it. It is no good staying on the
- 31:48Speaker 1: emotive subject of rubber boats and prison We've got to
- 31:51Speaker 1: be looking at why we have numbers of over seven
- 31:55Speaker 1: hundred thousand coming into the country. This is clearly unsustainable.
- 32:00Speaker 1: It can't work at any level, be it the NHS,
- 32:04Speaker 1: the roads or schools. It cannot work. It is destabilizing
- 32:09Speaker 1: the country. So I will be waiting to see whether
- 32:12Speaker 1: Richard Tice will actually get a grip of this. But
- 32:15Speaker 1: let's remember that if we've got a labor government in
- 32:18Speaker 1: post at the moment that originally it was the Conservatives
- 32:22Speaker 1: who were talking about their party creating chaos in UK
- 32:28Speaker 1: as the means in order to bring in the change agenda.
- 32:32Speaker 1: So the change agenda, that baton is with Keir Starmer
- 32:36Speaker 1: at the moment, but this baton has also been with
- 32:39Speaker 1: the Tory. So this is the Guardian report here, and
- 32:43Speaker 1: this is going back around twenty eleven, if my memory
- 32:46Speaker 1: serves me correctly, and basically we had the Tory mp
- 32:51Speaker 1: warning about the fact that they were going to bring
- 32:55Speaker 1: in chaos as a means of changing the country. And
- 33:00Speaker 1: that comment by Nick Boles was also reinforced by parliamentary
- 33:06Speaker 1: candidate Danny Krueger at the time. So two witnesses saying
- 33:11Speaker 1: that chaos was going to be used to change UK.
- 33:15Speaker 1: No dialogue of course with the public. And let's bring
- 33:19Speaker 1: us to this classic UK column newspaper headline back in
- 33:24Speaker 1: the time. I think that's twenty eleven there top right.
- 33:27Speaker 1: We labeled the existing incumbents domestic terrorists. We described them
- 33:32Speaker 1: as the cabal destroying Britain with big society media gagged,
- 33:38Speaker 1: secret courts, the NHS, wrecked military, betrayed, pedophiles being protected,
- 33:46Speaker 1: the police threatened, and genocide overseas. All of that, of
- 33:50Speaker 1: course only possible with the banking corruption and fraud, and
- 33:54Speaker 1: I think we were absolutely spot on. So underneath this
- 34:00Speaker 1: to look at what is driving politics and of course
- 34:03Speaker 1: alongside the World there Economic Forum, we now know we've
- 34:07Speaker 1: got a very powerful Fabian agenda, but of course we've
- 34:11Speaker 1: also got a lot of very powerful charities such as
- 34:14Speaker 1: the charity Common Purpose. Let's send that segment there for
- 34:20Speaker 1: people who are supporting the column. We can only do
- 34:22Speaker 1: what we're doing with your help and support. So for
- 34:27Speaker 1: anybody else who isn't yet on board, you can make
- 34:29Speaker 1: a donation through the UK Column website, or you can
- 34:33Speaker 1: join us via a monthly or an annual membership or
- 34:36Speaker 1: take out a lifetime membership. Purchases through the shop of
- 34:40Speaker 1: course help us. And we also have CLIVEE de Carl's
- 34:44Speaker 1: healthcare products and we make a small percentage on those.
- 34:48Speaker 1: Now tomorrow at one o'clock we've got the truth about
- 34:52Speaker 1: me coming out and Diane, you took part in this
- 34:57Speaker 1: interview with Catherine and dottor Dizevan, just tell us a
- 35:01Speaker 1: little bit.
- 35:04Speaker 4: Yes, thanks Brian, this was an interesting conversation for sure.
- 35:09Speaker 4: I would like to note that today is a world
- 35:12Speaker 4: in e day in the stance for myolgic encephalo myle ligis.
- 35:16Speaker 4: I hope I'm saying that correctly. Some people also call
- 35:19Speaker 4: it productatique syndrome or CFS, but they are actually distinctly
- 35:22Speaker 4: different conditions and diagnoses. They have similar symptoms, and I
- 35:27Speaker 4: will say that in the last few years people have
- 35:30Speaker 4: also associated these conditions with so called and I say
- 35:33Speaker 4: this some scare quotes long COVID. So we had this
- 35:36Speaker 4: discussion of people who watch you pick column will be
- 35:39Speaker 4: familiar already with doctor Lose Evans. She's been previously. She's
- 35:44Speaker 4: a qualified doctor. She's also the head of the medical
- 35:48Speaker 4: ethics organization in the UK. This entire week, according to
- 35:51Speaker 4: the UK's In Association, is leading in the Awareness Week,
- 35:56Speaker 4: so this is the perfect time to be broadcasting this interview.
- 36:00Speaker 4: We'll ask me talking about Catherine's book which is right
- 36:02Speaker 4: here called The Truth About Me. It's a fabulous, very
- 36:06Speaker 4: emotional story of what she went through over the past
- 36:09Speaker 4: eleven years as she attempted to recover and continue to
- 36:12Speaker 4: manage your condition.
- 36:13Speaker 1: Brian, Okay, Dane, thank you very much for that. And
- 36:16Speaker 1: let's also mention that coming up that's the May Bank Holiday,
- 36:21Speaker 1: the twenty third to the twenty six and May in Gilgarran, Cumbria.
- 36:26Speaker 1: We've got the Stand in the Light event. This has
- 36:29Speaker 1: been a fantastic event UK Column has been previously. Unfortunately
- 36:34Speaker 1: we aren't able to attend this year, but we wish
- 36:37Speaker 1: the Stand and the Light team the very best with
- 36:40Speaker 1: that event and we're sure that the many many people
- 36:43Speaker 1: who are going to go are going to have a
- 36:45Speaker 1: great time. I remember well being told by people there
- 36:50Speaker 1: last year that it was wonderful to be able to
- 36:53Speaker 1: talk to people and not worry about what you said
- 36:56Speaker 1: or how you said it. So a lot of the
- 37:00Speaker 1: of that event is to be with like minded people, relaxing, laughter,
- 37:06Speaker 1: hopefully a lot of sunshine, but it should be a
- 37:08Speaker 1: lot of fun. And I've got another one here Truth
- 37:13Speaker 1: to others. This is you, Ben I believe is that correct?
- 37:17Speaker 7: It is Brace yourselves.
- 37:19Speaker 6: It's truth time on the UK Column and we need
- 37:23Speaker 6: some help, so we're going to bring these people in.
- 37:25Speaker 6: This was an event that happened last week, truth Tellers
- 37:28Speaker 6: the Sir Harry Evans Investigative Journalism Something at twenty twenty five,
- 37:31Speaker 6: including Tina Brown, Alasta Campbell, James Carville, Jeffrey Goldberg from
- 37:36Speaker 6: the Atlantic Christiana Guru Murphy, James Harding I spoke about
- 37:40Speaker 6: earlier and I might bring him back into this in
- 37:42Speaker 6: a moment. Animint In Beadows and the economist Samark Thompson,
- 37:46Speaker 6: the big beasts of legacy media getting together and basically
- 37:52Speaker 6: talking to themselves about each other and doing it in
- 37:55Speaker 6: an echo chamber and BBC editors interviewing their own bosses
- 38:01Speaker 6: in a room in North London, and you do actually
- 38:05Speaker 6: get the sense of these people. Some of them certainly
- 38:08Speaker 6: do actually believe what they're saying. You know, they're drinking
- 38:11Speaker 6: their own call aid. I think it's so the indoctrination
- 38:14Speaker 6: runs incredibly deep. So this was a big show piece
- 38:18Speaker 6: event for the international media community. It was held at
- 38:22Speaker 6: Reburst at the Royal Institute in British Architects, beautiful building
- 38:27Speaker 6: actually slap bang in the middle of media land, basically
- 38:30Speaker 6: out of the back door of the BBC studio right,
- 38:32Speaker 6: So this was slap bang in the middle of BBC territory.
- 38:35Speaker 6: And unsurprisingly they were actively involved in supporting the day
- 38:38Speaker 6: as well. So BBC Verify, those great truth tellers that
- 38:43Speaker 6: we always bring up on this program, they were supporting
- 38:46Speaker 6: it alongside the Observer spoke about earlier who appeared to
- 38:49Speaker 6: be controlled in the background by the powers behind the
- 38:53Speaker 6: Israeli state, as well as a bunch of philanthropic groups,
- 38:56Speaker 6: the post Code Lottery Group, civirid Rousing Trust, the Ford
- 38:59Speaker 6: founda who we spoke about earlier on this year, who
- 39:02Speaker 6: are heavily invested in the international media ecosystem. There was
- 39:06Speaker 6: some actually quite interesting speakers here. They had the Chief
- 39:09Speaker 6: executive sub Stack, he was there. That was quite an
- 39:12Speaker 6: eye opening session. We'll provide a link. S just going
- 39:15Speaker 6: to watch it.
- 39:16Speaker 7: Probably not.
- 39:17Speaker 6: The whole thing is about eight hours long, but there
- 39:19Speaker 6: are a few interesting points, one of which was the
- 39:23Speaker 6: one of the flagship sessions about rebooting legacy media. Let's
- 39:27Speaker 6: have a little listen to how that was presented.
- 39:41Speaker 11: Welcome there shall I John Storry, Captain of the Dying Medium.
- 40:11Speaker 5: How long have we been talking?
- 40:12Speaker 7: A long time? Let's go like three hours.
- 40:15Speaker 8: I got to make a speech.
- 40:54Speaker 6: So they're in trouble. Revenues are collapsing, trust is collapsing.
- 40:58Speaker 6: AI is disrupting them and let's be honest. It couldn't
- 41:02Speaker 6: happen to a nicer bunch of people, could it.
- 41:06Speaker 7: It was?
- 41:07Speaker 6: It was, It was It was quite a good panel
- 41:09Speaker 6: that one. Actually I won't show any clips from the
- 41:12Speaker 6: people speaking because there's just too much to go into
- 41:14Speaker 6: to be perfectly honest. But it was actually summed up
- 41:17Speaker 6: really beautifully by sanniment In Bedos, editor in chief of
- 41:21Speaker 6: the Economist. He said, we need to make sure tomorrow's
- 41:24Speaker 6: viewers and listeners know about CNN, the BBC, the Economist
- 41:27Speaker 6: and know that's where you have to go to get truth.
- 41:31Speaker 7: That was her summary at the end.
- 41:33Speaker 1: But they are clearly am I allowed to use the
- 41:37Speaker 1: expression wetting themselves on UK News? This is really people
- 41:42Speaker 1: say to us, where is the good news? Well, today
- 41:45Speaker 1: we're giving you the good news because not only are
- 41:47Speaker 1: we showing that people are seeing through the political agenda,
- 41:52Speaker 1: we're now starting to really dig into the machinery driving
- 41:56Speaker 1: this terrible political system that we live in. And here
- 42:01Speaker 1: is the media admitting that they are on the ropes.
- 42:05Speaker 1: So if people want to know what the good news is,
- 42:07Speaker 1: the good news is that the efforts of many, many people,
- 42:11Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands, millions of people probably over social media
- 42:15Speaker 1: is now having a real effect on the legacy media.
- 42:19Speaker 1: It's fantastic, then.
- 42:21Speaker 7: It is.
- 42:21Speaker 6: It's great news. Yeah, they've completely lost control of the narrative.
- 42:25Speaker 6: And that panel you had Mark Thompson, sorry, sir Mark
- 42:29Speaker 6: Thompson from CNN, who representing the big corporate advertising market.
- 42:35Speaker 6: You had dead Returns from the BBC representing effectively the state.
- 42:40Speaker 6: People talk about the BBC like it's distinct from government,
- 42:43Speaker 6: but it's not. It's just government. Yeah, it's funded through taxation.
- 42:47Speaker 6: That's government by definition. Actually, and Zanni ment In Beddos
- 42:52Speaker 6: who are mentioned, who effectively represents the global predator class, right,
- 42:57Speaker 6: and you know they neglect to mention this stuff.
- 43:01Speaker 7: Right.
- 43:01Speaker 6: So actually we just jumped back to that video we
- 43:03Speaker 6: had deb Returnis presented. She's the chief executive BBC News.
- 43:07Speaker 6: She's saying that AI distortion is the new threat to
- 43:10Speaker 6: trusted information.
- 43:11Speaker 7: It's the AI. My view is it's no, it's the.
- 43:14Speaker 6: BBC actually, which is a threat to trusted information. Similar
- 43:19Speaker 6: thing with Mark Thompson. He's saying that there's a revolution happening.
- 43:24Speaker 6: I'm not particularly bothered what he has to say about
- 43:26Speaker 6: the media, to be honest with you, what I'd like
- 43:28Speaker 6: to know is what he knew about Jimmy Saville when
- 43:31Speaker 6: he was Director General of the BBC. That would be
- 43:33Speaker 6: a good place to start if we were really interested
- 43:35Speaker 6: in truth. You know, I think that would be a
- 43:37Speaker 6: good question to ask Mark Thompson, but that wasn't getting
- 43:40Speaker 6: asked at the Truth Teller's conference. And then finally Zanni
- 43:44Speaker 6: Old Zanni Menton Bedos, editor in chief of The Economist
- 43:48Speaker 6: and essentially a member of the global predator class herself. No,
- 43:53Speaker 6: she doesn't just represent their interest like she goes to
- 43:55Speaker 6: the Builderberg meetings basically every year.
- 43:58Speaker 10: Right.
- 43:59Speaker 6: I'm not sure if she's a the steering committee for it.
- 44:01Speaker 6: She may well have been at some point, but you know,
- 44:03Speaker 6: that's whose interest she's representing. And that's before you dig
- 44:06Speaker 6: into the fact that The Economist itself is twenty six
- 44:10Speaker 6: percent owned by the Rothschild family, forty six percent owned
- 44:14Speaker 6: something like that by the Ignal, the Agnelli family, the
- 44:17Speaker 6: Italian industrialist.
- 44:18Speaker 7: So this is the voice of institutions, the establishment.
- 44:23Speaker 6: I'm talking about the woes that they are currently experiencing. Right,
- 44:30Speaker 6: So this was the kind of the meta narrative, the
- 44:33Speaker 6: big top level story, but also local news, hugely, hugely important.
- 44:40Speaker 6: They're reporting here that it's been decimated. Two local newspapers
- 44:45Speaker 6: are closing every week on average. This is a huge
- 44:50Speaker 6: threat to civil liberties. There is a total vacuum that's
- 44:55Speaker 6: appeared around scrutiny of politicians. Voters are feeling disenfranchised, corruption
- 45:02Speaker 6: is on the rise, and divisions are appearing in society.
- 45:08Speaker 6: And again, what they failed to mention is that most
- 45:11Speaker 6: of this stuff is being caused by the people behind
- 45:13Speaker 6: this conference, certainly the people behind.
- 45:15Speaker 7: The three titles that I was just talking to.
- 45:16Speaker 6: Talking about a moment ago, right, they used to term
- 45:19Speaker 6: a news desert where green shoots are sprouting up. We
- 45:22Speaker 6: talked about organizations like the mill previously up in the
- 45:25Speaker 6: top left there, who done a great job of savaging
- 45:28Speaker 6: Rajamir's reputation up in Manchester, was pointing out what was
- 45:33Speaker 6: going on with the grooming gangs. But apparently there is
- 45:35Speaker 6: a renaissance happening around local news. And to find out
- 45:39Speaker 6: a bit about how that's actually happening, let's now listen
- 45:43Speaker 6: to the chief executive of the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, A.
- 45:47Speaker 7: Razina Breen.
- 45:50Speaker 12: You're, folks focusing on a more collaborative form of journalism.
- 45:53Speaker 12: You go out, you find communities, you involve yourself with them.
- 45:59Speaker 12: This is a new model which you've sort of been
- 46:02Speaker 12: one of the pioneers of getting that impact through. Can
- 46:06Speaker 12: you take us through what brought that new way of
- 46:10Speaker 12: thinking how journalism can work.
- 46:12Speaker 13: I mean, the Bureau has a long time history of
- 46:15Speaker 13: innovation since before my day, and we do UK investigations,
- 46:20Speaker 13: international investigations and local investigations. And I really wanted to
- 46:24Speaker 13: start with a quote by Terry Albury, who is on
- 46:27Speaker 13: a panel at the Logan's Symposium where Akash and I
- 46:30Speaker 13: were last week. He's the FBI whistleblower. He said, the
- 46:33Speaker 13: fire has always been there, we just haven't been paying attention.
- 46:37Speaker 13: And I think there are fires across every constituency across
- 46:41Speaker 13: the UK, and so accountability journalism really matters. And the
- 46:46Speaker 13: thing that really I think about is who are we
- 46:49Speaker 13: working alongside in order to surface the stories. Often we
- 46:54Speaker 13: might parachute into locality to tell the story where we
- 46:57Speaker 13: know what the top line is. Yet if you go
- 47:00Speaker 13: into communities and ask the questions that will inform where
- 47:04Speaker 13: the accountability gap is so one there is an editorial
- 47:08Speaker 13: reason for doing what we do. And the second is
- 47:11Speaker 13: I was really struck by and on the first panel
- 47:14Speaker 13: who was talking about audience relevant. We have a crisis
- 47:18Speaker 13: in trust in public institutions in the UK. That's across politics,
- 47:22Speaker 13: that's also across the media. People feel disenfranchised. You know,
- 47:26Speaker 13: I was running the largest network newsroom outside of London.
- 47:30Speaker 13: I started that job on the week of the EU
- 47:32Speaker 13: referendum for the BBC. We were an output that was
- 47:36Speaker 13: very close to the audience and so we felt that
- 47:38Speaker 13: the vote would go Brexit. I'm not making a political point,
- 47:41Speaker 13: but politics is about policy and policy is about people.
- 47:44Speaker 13: So unless we are actively working with people not to
- 47:48Speaker 13: follow an agenda, but to follow the fact, we're not
- 47:50Speaker 13: going to bring them along with us. And civic engagement
- 47:54Speaker 13: skills spotting miss and disinformation has never been more important.
- 47:59Speaker 13: So there is a way of approaching journalism that can
- 48:03Speaker 13: be meaningful and holistic and not worthy, but actually community
- 48:08Speaker 13: trust is everything, especially today.
- 48:13Speaker 1: Well, Ben I did sit here chuckling while that video
- 48:16Speaker 1: clip was running to hear Razina Breen. I think the
- 48:19Speaker 1: lady's name is there saying, well, to be proper journalists,
- 48:24Speaker 1: we've got to get out there and track stories down
- 48:27Speaker 1: and it's better if we actually meet the people, and
- 48:29Speaker 1: it's better if we tell the truth. She's just discovered this.
- 48:35Speaker 1: It's mind blowing what's coming out of this lady's mouth.
- 48:40Speaker 1: Because basically any journalist should know that if you want
- 48:43Speaker 1: to be reporting correctly, you've got to engage with people,
- 48:48Speaker 1: you've got to check the sources of your information. But
- 48:50Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, she's just discovered this after working
- 48:54Speaker 1: I think it was with the BBC News room, Yeah,
- 48:57Speaker 1: about fifteen years ago. The stupidity and the arrogance of
- 49:03Speaker 1: these people is breastaking, but more good news because she's
- 49:07Speaker 1: admitting that bij As, one of the media companies, is
- 49:14Speaker 1: also on the roads.
- 49:16Speaker 6: It is on the roads, but also this very odd model.
- 49:18Speaker 6: So that was Judi Grieg I think his name is,
- 49:21Speaker 6: the editor of The Independent, who asked her the question
- 49:23Speaker 6: to start there. It says, are you're developing this new model,
- 49:25Speaker 6: and there is this new model emerging. Essentially she's based
- 49:29Speaker 6: inside the M twenty five, right, So you've got these
- 49:33Speaker 6: investigative supposedly investigative journalist institutions of which the viewerau of
- 49:38Speaker 6: Investigative Journalism is one example, right, And there's a bunch
- 49:41Speaker 6: of these that sit in the Metropolitan Center and then
- 49:44Speaker 6: they kind of go in to communities and she actually
- 49:48Speaker 6: used the word parachute in. We go in there and
- 49:52Speaker 6: we correct disinformation and misinformation, and we basically engage in
- 49:56Speaker 6: narrative reinforcement. I really don't think she understands it like that, right,
- 50:00Speaker 6: But if you go and look at their website, you
- 50:02Speaker 6: know you can pull these things apart very very quickly.
- 50:04Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 50:04Speaker 6: So this is the Bureau of Investigative Journalism homepage. What's
- 50:09Speaker 6: the big story. It's the poor content moderators at Meta
- 50:14Speaker 6: all right, so the people that are centering your speech,
- 50:18Speaker 6: we need to feel sorry for them essentially, right, And
- 50:21Speaker 6: you know, it's all about enforcing reinforcing the climate change narrative,
- 50:26Speaker 6: the censorship narrative.
- 50:28Speaker 7: And they're working with the Independent, they're working.
- 50:30Speaker 6: With the Guardian. You can see the logos at the
- 50:31Speaker 6: bottom of the screen there. Yeah, so this is kind
- 50:34Speaker 6: of like these titles of outsourced investigative work to a
- 50:39Speaker 6: third party, and then that work is then being presented
- 50:43Speaker 6: back as if it's come from that title. This feels
- 50:47Speaker 6: a little bit like that kind of wolf in sheep's
- 50:49Speaker 6: clothing thing I was talking about before. Right, And then
- 50:51Speaker 6: you go and look at who's funding this, well, blind me,
- 50:55Speaker 6: it's the Bill and millin the Gates Foundation and it's
- 50:58Speaker 6: the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and nan Kelly Chase and also
- 51:02Speaker 6: Open Societies, Paul Hamlin, the Pairs Foundation, and we spoke
- 51:06Speaker 6: about a couple of weeks ago who are very very
- 51:09Speaker 6: closely involved with full Fact and extraordinarily powerful.
- 51:12Speaker 11: Right.
- 51:12Speaker 6: These are the people that want to own truth and
- 51:14Speaker 6: they have flooded what should be a pure space of
- 51:20Speaker 6: investigative journalism and taking complete ownership of it.
- 51:23Speaker 5: Right.
- 51:23Speaker 6: And actually local news is now completely owned by global capital,
- 51:29Speaker 6: just like the rest.
- 51:30Speaker 7: Of the mainstream media ecosystem.
- 51:33Speaker 1: The lid's coming off, though, Ben and reinforce that for
- 51:37Speaker 1: viewers Monday the twelfth and May twenty twenty five. We
- 51:40Speaker 1: have got the legacy media admitting it's on the rope.
- 51:45Speaker 1: So let's keep the initiative going. And if you're not
- 51:48Speaker 1: supporting UK column, support UK column and help us put
- 51:52Speaker 1: more pressure on the team. Now, Diane, let's bring you
- 51:56Speaker 1: back and grease guys in the Today. But other people
- 52:02Speaker 1: very concerned at what they see in the sky.
- 52:07Speaker 4: Yes, understandably so, Brian, Mike, if we could just please
- 52:10Speaker 4: scroll through some photographs that I'd like to show the
- 52:13Speaker 4: viewers before I talked about this. These were some photos
- 52:16Speaker 4: that were sent to UK column from a member down
- 52:20Speaker 4: in Kent, and there's a variety of photos here from
- 52:24Speaker 4: the Maidstone areas you can see there. This particular person
- 52:28Speaker 4: sent these to us because he wanted us to expose
- 52:31Speaker 4: what he observes as going on. But what I want
- 52:35Speaker 4: to do is sort of as Ben mentioned, BBC Verify
- 52:38Speaker 4: and Marianna Spring as viewers might remember, we have UK
- 52:42Speaker 4: se Verify. So I'm starting to bring this back to
- 52:44Speaker 4: actually verify what is really going on as we look
- 52:47Speaker 4: at these photos. Yes, we can see that there are
- 52:49Speaker 4: white lines in the skies, but can we verify what
- 52:52Speaker 4: is actually happening in the UK skuys or can we
- 52:54Speaker 4: possibly verify what's going on in the skies in other countries.
- 52:58Speaker 4: So this viewer wrote to his in p about his
- 53:03Speaker 4: concern about kim trails that he was seeing, as documented
- 53:06Speaker 4: by his own photographs here, and he sent along this
- 53:11Speaker 4: official letter which he got in response. And so Helen
- 53:15Speaker 4: Brandt is his MP and Grant got a response back
- 53:19Speaker 4: from Kerry McCarthy, who is the Ministry for a Climate
- 53:22Speaker 4: from the Department of Energy Security and net zero. So
- 53:25Speaker 4: I just want to read out this letter. It says
- 53:27Speaker 4: Dear Helen, thank you for your email to the Department
- 53:30Speaker 4: of Environment for Rural Affairs to September on behalf of
- 53:34Speaker 4: a constituent regarding chemical sprain brackets chim trails in the
- 53:38Speaker 4: UK airspace. Your correspondence has been passed to this department
- 53:41Speaker 4: and I am responding as this matter fails falls under
- 53:44Speaker 4: my ministerial portfolio. There's no deliberate chemical spring activid Gore
- 53:48Speaker 4: Guy anywhere in UK airspace. Apart from regulated aerial spring
- 53:52Speaker 4: of pesticides and herbicides and agricultural practices. Prop spring is
- 53:56Speaker 4: always carried out at low altitude. Further details can be
- 54:00Speaker 4: out at this link. We'll come back to that, and
- 54:02Speaker 4: she went on to say there is no deliberate chemical
- 54:04Speaker 4: spring activity going on. Again. She says chemical pen trails
- 54:08Speaker 4: is a term some people apply to contrails short for
- 54:12Speaker 4: the white condensation trails seen behind aircraft, to claim evidence
- 54:15Speaker 4: of deliberate chemical spring in the atmosphere. Contrails are caused
- 54:19Speaker 4: by the water vapor contained in hot exhaust gases condensing
- 54:23Speaker 4: in the high cold atmosphere where aircraft fly. More information
- 54:27Speaker 4: on this can be found in an article on the
- 54:29Speaker 4: government website. So let's take a look at these two
- 54:31Speaker 4: links that she linked to in her letter. The first
- 54:34Speaker 4: one is about aerial spraying permit arrangements. This is from
- 54:37Speaker 4: the Health and Safety Executive. This is about basically how
- 54:41Speaker 4: you regulate aerial spring for plant growth for example, and
- 54:45Speaker 4: they give a template of what that might look like.
- 54:49Speaker 4: I've got a sort of a screenshot of that as well,
- 54:52Speaker 4: which just shows what it looks like if we are
- 54:54Speaker 4: talking about this is how we apply to give a
- 54:57Speaker 4: particular spray to make particular or plants grow. So that
- 55:02Speaker 4: is one thing that she's got there, that sample application plan.
- 55:07Speaker 4: The other thing that she leaked to was a website
- 55:10Speaker 4: from UK Department for Transport and this is where they
- 55:14Speaker 4: answer some questions about what they consider to be kim
- 55:18Speaker 4: trails contrails and you can read the entire linth of
- 55:20Speaker 4: will BEUTA show notes and it asks what exhaust gases
- 55:24Speaker 4: do aircraft emit? As well as water vapor, the primary
- 55:27Speaker 4: exhaust emission. Dead engines emit carbon dioxide, small amounts of
- 55:30Speaker 4: unvert hydrocarbons, oxides of detrogen dute particles, and CARBONI monoxides.
- 55:35Speaker 4: So such emissions are regulated by the International Aviation Organization.
- 55:40Speaker 4: According to some reports. The next question asked chem trails
- 55:44Speaker 4: contain barium or compounds of aluminium and silicon, often called aluminiosilicates,
- 55:50Speaker 4: and they said, we have no credible evidence of the
- 55:52Speaker 4: release of chem trails, but aluminosilicates are common in clay
- 55:56Speaker 4: soils and a wide range of other memorials. Therefore, measurements
- 55:59Speaker 4: in air and soil are dominated by the ground level
- 56:01Speaker 4: sources of aluminium silicates. The hard word to say. The
- 56:05Speaker 4: last LAS assessment of emissions from aircraft can be found
- 56:08Speaker 4: in the most recent National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory report, and
- 56:13Speaker 4: the final questions are are there any ill health effects
- 56:17Speaker 4: caused by contrails? There's no evidence that contrails cause health
- 56:20Speaker 4: problems at the altitude that they are produced. The oxides
- 56:23Speaker 4: of dartrig in, a particular matter, which can cause respiratory problems,
- 56:26Speaker 4: become dispersed. And if the contrails impact on climate change,
- 56:30Speaker 4: resistant contrails serious formed by aircraft can't affect the reflection
- 56:34Speaker 4: of solar radiation and therefore have an impact on the
- 56:36Speaker 4: Earth's climate. Now that a report that I mentioned that
- 56:40Speaker 4: wouldn't in that response, we can look at that website.
- 56:43Speaker 4: There are just various reports about greenhouse gases, carbon capture
- 56:46Speaker 4: and all of the other propaganda related to a climate scam. Now,
- 56:51Speaker 4: what was interesting was something else that was claimed in
- 56:54Speaker 4: this email from the viewer who sent this to us.
- 56:58Speaker 4: They have the information that office had been involved in
- 57:01Speaker 4: over one hundred and thirty weather modification experiments that was
- 57:04Speaker 4: reported in August of twenty twenty four. Now, depending on
- 57:07Speaker 4: the search terms that I use to check this on
- 57:10Speaker 4: Google's AI just to see what Google would say. It
- 57:13Speaker 4: first said my first search that the office revealed that
- 57:16Speaker 4: a large number of weather experiments exceeding one hundred and
- 57:19Speaker 4: thirty were actively UNDERWIGH in UK. But if you look
- 57:22Speaker 4: at my next search using slightly different words, it says
- 57:25Speaker 4: in August twenty twenty four, the Met Office did not
- 57:27Speaker 4: specifically reveal one hundred and thirty weather modification events. So
- 57:32Speaker 4: we have conflicting information and so we have to really
- 57:36Speaker 4: watch what the AI summaries tell us. The Met Office
- 57:39Speaker 4: claims that atmospherical application and geo engineering does take place
- 57:43Speaker 4: in terms of research. They are talking about computer modeling.
- 57:47Speaker 4: They're claiming that they do not engage in adding substances
- 57:50Speaker 4: to the atmosphere in order to modify it. And the
- 57:52Speaker 4: difference between geo engineering is that g engineering is the
- 57:56Speaker 4: larger issue of where they're trying to impact on climate
- 57:59Speaker 4: change and wether mupiplication. That is very specific local actions
- 58:03Speaker 4: such as cloud seating, which does alter the weather. So
- 58:07Speaker 4: the Telegraph reported back in twenty twenty four that in
- 58:10Speaker 4: Dubai there was a full year's rainfall that happened in
- 58:15Speaker 4: one day and they've talked to some people from the
- 58:19Speaker 4: UAES Meteorology Service and that was said, well, they believed
- 58:24Speaker 4: that it was in fact caused by cloud seating. Now
- 58:28Speaker 4: who was doing the cloud seating was a group of
- 58:29Speaker 4: British academics from the University of Reading, and so they
- 58:35Speaker 4: can't say year. They haven't said that this cloud seating
- 58:37Speaker 4: is taking place here in the UK, but they are
- 58:40Speaker 4: fully aware and admitting that they were responsible for the
- 58:44Speaker 4: cloud seating. Let's take a look at a video from
- 58:46Speaker 4: Professor Martin Enbam from the University of Reading saying what
- 58:49Speaker 4: he had to say about this event.
- 58:52Speaker 8: It is indeed true that that in the Emirates and
- 58:55Speaker 8: there's an operational cloud heating program, and then it's clear
- 59:00Speaker 8: for an arid region like that, they really want to
- 59:03Speaker 8: target the few clouds that they have and to make
- 59:06Speaker 8: those clouds rain, because quite a lot of the time
- 59:08Speaker 8: those clouds do not produce rain in this particular case,
- 59:12Speaker 8: In fact, no clouds heating occurred in this particular case.
- 59:16Speaker 8: It was a well predicted storm. People knew there would
- 59:18Speaker 8: be severe rain, the authorities and the Emirates knew there
- 59:22Speaker 8: would be strong rain, and they did not do any
- 59:26Speaker 8: seating operation during this particular event.
- 59:32Speaker 4: So he's not playing any responsibility. However, there are different
- 59:35Speaker 4: opinions on that. We can see. Back in twenty seventeen,
- 59:38Speaker 4: the University of Reading started or I believe this was
- 59:41Speaker 4: the start of the funding from this UAE organization which
- 59:45Speaker 4: is called the Research Program for Rain Enhancement Science or
- 59:49Speaker 4: UAE REP as the acronym, and so we can see
- 59:52Speaker 4: them there in the UI participating in this. Here's an
- 59:55Speaker 4: example of publication with Professor Ambambas one of the author
- 59:58Speaker 4: is providing charge and mission for cloud seating aircraft. Basically,
- 1:00:04Speaker 4: the first sense of the abstract says that this such
- 1:00:07Speaker 4: as fog and clouds, offers a route to influence these properties.
- 1:00:11Speaker 4: So what they're doing is trying to influence the natural
- 1:00:14Speaker 4: abilities and and things that fog and clouds do for us.
- 1:00:18Speaker 4: The u a REP is a large funding program that
- 1:00:20Speaker 4: clouds research around the world that where these these different
- 1:00:24Speaker 4: countries and research troops will come in and literally do
- 1:00:27Speaker 4: the cloud seeding to make rain happen in Dubai and
- 1:00:30Speaker 4: throughout the u a E. You can see to receive
- 1:00:32Speaker 4: the strategic plan there where they're talking about being globally
- 1:00:35Speaker 4: globally recognized research, but they do benefit it from themselves obviously,
- 1:00:41Speaker 4: and here we see more evidence of them talking about
- 1:00:43Speaker 4: globalism and going into you and organizations and what we're
- 1:00:48Speaker 4: doing with the overall climate agenda. So just to to
- 1:00:51Speaker 4: the second this particular segment, I have a video here
- 1:00:55Speaker 4: from a u a REP YouTube channel. Here's a professor
- 1:00:59Speaker 4: Roelpberger in South Africa and he's talking about this issue. Roll.
- 1:01:05Speaker 14: Thanks so much, DEEPU time really appreciate you're sitting with
- 1:01:08Speaker 14: us here. And look, you don't need me to tell
- 1:01:11Speaker 14: you that uae REP marking decade ten years of advancing
- 1:01:18Speaker 14: rain enhancement science. But given your international global perspective as well,
- 1:01:24Speaker 14: just wonder whether you could sort of reflect on the achievements.
- 1:01:27Speaker 9: Of ua REP in the last ten years.
- 1:01:30Speaker 14: But also the impact is having on global thinking when
- 1:01:33Speaker 14: it comes to rain announcement.
- 1:01:34Speaker 15: No, I agree with you. Over the last ten years,
- 1:01:37Speaker 15: the UAE has not only been advancing rain announcement science,
- 1:01:41Speaker 15: but it's really transformed our understanding of the atmosphere. It's
- 1:01:45Speaker 15: been driving innovative solutions to some of our most pressing
- 1:01:49Speaker 15: problems like water scarcity and climate resilience, and especially it's
- 1:01:54Speaker 15: been doing that through science, cutting edge technology, and global collaboration. So,
- 1:02:03Speaker 15: for example, I think one of the things that is
- 1:02:07Speaker 15: most exciting to me about this project is it's exemplifying
- 1:02:12Speaker 15: how we should be approaching these very sticky context problems,
- 1:02:16Speaker 15: and that is through transformative science. And if you look
- 1:02:21Speaker 15: at the program, every aspect of it is dripping with science.
- 1:02:25Speaker 15: From the very competitive funding calls the science independent scientific oversight,
- 1:02:31Speaker 15: to the drive of the program to make sure that
- 1:02:35Speaker 15: the results get published.
- 1:02:37Speaker 7: It's really transformative. It's lovely to hear.
- 1:02:40Speaker 4: That, But so what do you think, Brian, is that
- 1:02:46Speaker 4: lovely to hear?
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: It's very interesting to hear. I'm going to say thank
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: you very much for putting together this segment. There's a
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: lot more to talk on it, am I reassured by
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: saying it's dripping with science. Not reassured at all, and
