  Speaker 1: Good afternoon. Today is Monday, the fourth of May twenty
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: twenty six, just after one o'clock. Welcome to UK column News.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I'm your host, Brian Gerrish. Now I'm delighted to have
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: with me remote link Ben Rubin who's in London, Diane
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Rasmussen who's in the North of England, and we're also
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: joined by Mark Anderson, who is of course in the States.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I must say, first of all, many apologies for that
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: slight technical difficulty. Obviously the equipment didn't like working on
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: a bank holiday here in UK, but we've finally kicked
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: it into action, so that's a good thing. We've got
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: a very busy news today. A lot's happening in the world.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: We're going to try and get focused back on UK
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and things which we think people really need to be
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: paying attention to. We will give Trump a men, but
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: of course will point out that Epstein has completely disappeared
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: from the scene, which is very very interesting. Now in UK,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: we're going to have a look at the power of
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the Jewish lobby. Ben is going to be looking into
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: panopticon technologies, and we're going to be having a look
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: at some of the protests going on No to CEC
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: TV in Newcastle, but also there's been a protest against
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Palanteer itself. Mark is going to be bringing Bilderberg back
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: into the frame because of course nothing happens without these
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: very high level world agenders and the meetings behind closed doors.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Diane is going to be picking up on the vital
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: issue of the grooming, the sexual grooming of our children
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: in schools, and the bills going through which seemed to
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: bring in more state control over youngsters. Ben's also going
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: to be reporting on his time at the Innovation World Congress.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Mentioned a bit of this, Ben, You sent through a
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: lovely picture of Saint Paul's. What is it like to
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: be back in London?
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: It's actually been fantastic, do you know what.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: I came in on the train last Monday evenings as
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: a week ago and it was just starting to rain
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: and a lot of the development on the.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Way into Paddington is pretty grim.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: You know, they've got the sort of toy town flats
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: that have gone up, and you know, you get.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: The sense that the city's being overrun.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: So I was slightly depressed, to be honest with you,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: But then Tuesday Wednesday had a wonderful time up in
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: West London, Kensington Hyde Park, been around soho, and then
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: I took that pick of St Paul's Cathedral which was
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: rather rather striking. The city was looking excellent in the sunshine.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: So that's been a good visit.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Excellent and you've got some good reports and for us,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: so thank you very much for that. More from you
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: in a minute. Well let's start with on and of
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: course Trump is well, he's busy talking on social media.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: The BBC says, what's the latest on the US Iran
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: peace talks. I think the answer to that is who knows,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: But it seems to be war or no war, or
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: war or no war or possibly a repetition of that
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and infinitum. But apparently we shouldn't worry because Trump's now
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: said that what he's involved with is Project Freedom, so
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: everybody can relax, except that, of course, Iran has threatened
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to attack US forces if Trump brings naval forces through
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: into the golf in this sort of escort role. So
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: it's still very confused. But the point we want to
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: make on our news program today is that while people
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: are distracted with the golf, we've got very important things
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: happening here in UK, not least is this immense and
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: growing power of the Jewish lobby. Now, over recent days
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: some pretty amazing head lines have come in and these
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: are all front page So this is a major statement
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: by Britain's press that there are terrible things going on.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Anti Semitism is out of control. Of course too members
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: of the Jewish community were stabbed, but so was another individual.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: But the headlines are all absolutely prioritizing Israel and the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Jewish community in UK to the extent that the whole
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: nation has to be put under a higher state of
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: terror alert and in order to deal with the situation.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Now we just add another two headlines. Here's the Times
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: UK anti Semitism out of control after Jews knife and
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: we've also got this one the Daily Telegraph due hate
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: out of control in UK. Now, aside from being used
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: as a clamp down on the rest of the society
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: in UK, this also ramps up huge fear in the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Jewish community and many Jewish people say to the UK
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: column that's not just Defloyd. But nevertheless that's what the
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: press are doing. But we've also had Green leader Polanski
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: talking on the BBC because he's been critical of the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: police reaction to those stabbings. Let's have a look at
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: this clip.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: You said you were sorry for sharing that opinion that
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: questioned the behavior of the police, But do you or
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: do you not think that the police were heavy handed
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: in how they apprehended this aspect.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: I was very concerned by what I saw and I
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: remain concerned. The reason why I've apologized is because I
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: accept that ex or social media is not the appropriate
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: forum to have that concern. I also think an open
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: letter from the Commissioner also wasn't necessarily the appropriate forum.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: But I'm glad we've resolved that. Now I've asked the
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: Commissioner for a meeting, I'll be taking those conversations up
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: in price.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: So you do still think that it looks like the
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: police were heavy handed even though there was a man
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: with a knife running along the British high Street.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: I think it's important to say that officers are incredibly
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: brave when they run ward situations that most of us,
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: including myself, will want to run away from. I also accept,
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: as an elected member of the London Assembly, and in
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: fact there's a Police and Crime Committee, that it's important
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: that everyone who works in public service, including people who
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: are being brave should not be above scrutiny, and so
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: I think it's important that I have that conversation with
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: the commissioner, and we always make sure that actions proportionate,
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: no matter how brave.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: Do you think that it was proportionate? I mean everyone's
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: seen the video, Everyone's seen the pictures from all sorts
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: of angles, because that's how things often happen in twenty
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: twenty six. Do you think it was proportionate?
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: Well, the first thing I'd say is I'm not sure
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: everyone has seen the video because the video is so graphic,
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: potentially understandably, and that's the conversation that I don't think
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: it's always been shared. That being said, I accept that
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: social media is not the forum, and I don't think
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: sadly national broadcast is the forum either. I need to
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: have that conversation with a commissioner.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: So a masterpiece of political speak there, because of course
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: he determinedly did not answer the question. But if he
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: feels so strongly about what the police did or did
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: not do, why is he not prepared to say it
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: to camera with the BBC Ben, Just to bring you
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: in very quickly, you are watching this man very carefully.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: You're very suspicious of what his political agenda is. What
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: do you make of his attack on the police at
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: a time when we've got all of this heightened terror
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: around attacks on the Jewish community.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Hi, everybody, Yeah, the the I just can't take anything,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: he says, seriously, he was delivering lines, that he was
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: an actor delivering a script is.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: The way that I heard that.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: And the idea that things shouldn't be discussed on social
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: media or in mainstream interviews with journalists is an extraordinary
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: precedent to be trying to set, you know, So when
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: do you talk about this stuff?
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Tech Lansky remarkable.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, we need to hold him account as to what
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: he's talking. But if we just bring up a little
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: bit of the report from the BBC, he describes he
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: says he's Jewish. This is him describing himself. He says
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: he's pro Palestinian and someone who cares about Jewish safety,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: adding there's no conflict in those positions. Well, perhaps there
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: might not be. But as you say, we're very suspicious
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: as to what he's doing. But if we return again
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: to how the media is actually covering matters Jewish, we've
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: now got another amazing story, and this is reports that
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Telegraph and Politico owner says that his journalist, his journalists
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: must support Israel or resign. This is Matthia Stopfner, who's
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: been accused of editorial interference. Very detailed article Middle East
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Eye reporting this, but a very detailed article clearly showing
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: that they've been able to talk to people inside the country.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: But what can we now expect. We can expect The
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Telegraph from Politico has simply been also pushing this very
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: strong pro Israel, pro zionist line. Are they going to
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: report on this country? We don't know. And let's remind
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the audience that, of course, out of prime minister's successive
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: prime ministers doesn't matter which political party all highly pro Israel,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: so whether it's David Cameron or Starmer or can be BADANOK.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: In recent years they have all declared an allegiance to Israel,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: David Cameron saying that he was completely unshakable in his
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: beliefs in Israel, and for all of them, this means
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: that the UK in England, and I've got the UK
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and England in very small text on the screen that
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: is lost as a secondary issue. So it's quite clear
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: that the political parties in UK now regard politics in Israel,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Zionist politics to be more important than national politics, and
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: this is deeply concerning UK. Colin was reporting the dangers
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: of this back in twenty eleven. This was the article
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Britain or Israel, and we put in that article very
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: clearly Cameron's statement that in me, in David Cameron, you
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: have a prime minister whose belief in Israel is indestructible.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: And if his belief in Israel is indestructible, then of
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: course the UK comes second in all of his political objectives. Ben,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: You've got another issue here, and that is that we're
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: being told that, of course it's the Jewish tax on
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the Jewish community, which are the most important events in
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the country. But there's actually other attacks happening.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: Certainly were yes, I mean the attacks against the three
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: gentlemen in Golder's Green. It took place last week. One
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: of him was a Muslim, two of whom Jewish were
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: very quickly. He deemed to be anti Semitic and required
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: the full attention of the British establishment, whether the Prime
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Minister getting involved, the calling of a Cobra meeting, Mark Rowley,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Metropolitan Police Commissioner sticking his awe in again and using
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: this as a yet more validation for his drive towards
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: bringing in facial recognition technologies extraordinary new powers for the
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: police to combat to this supposed anti Semitism. But this
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: was just one incident. I mean, it's almost impossible actually
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: to say whether this was an attack that was carried
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: out because people were the people were attacked were Jewish,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: but the assumption has been that they were, despite the
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: fact that there was in the reason fifty thousand life
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: attacks that happen every year in this country free and
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: we see none of this kind of response happening on
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: the back of those. And actually, when I was in
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: London over the weekend, in the early hours of Saturday morning,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: there was a drive by shooting in Brixton, which the
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: police immediately said was just an indiscriminate attack. And so
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: how can they assume that that was an indiscriminate attack
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: and that there's not really anything to be done about it,
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: particularly whereas in the instance of the attack and Golders
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Green it requires a full national escalation. It seems extraordinary,
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: doesn't it.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: But I come in there it certainly does. We'll discuss
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: this more in UK column extra But there's enough there
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: for our audience today to be thinking what is actually
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: going on? Where is the power held? Is it the
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Zionist power base excuse me operating politics in UK or
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: is it a nationally elected government. It's becoming very difficult
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: to tell. And I think this is a very serious issue.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: But Ben, you've also been looking into Panopticon. Let's move
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: on into that and what have you discovered.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, seegwe directly into it.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: And actually we're going to be continuing with the similar
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: theme in some of the same protagonists that we've already
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: been talking about.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: So, one of the people that's been leading out this
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: push over the past few days to bring in extraordinary
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: new powers of policing, to introduce facial recognition technology as
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: a master of course across the whole of London certainly
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: and most likely across the rest of the UK is
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: that guy in the middle of that photo. That's Mark Rowley,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: who's the head of the Metropolitan Police. You can be
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: seen here alongside the Archbishop of Cantaby on the right
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: hand side, Sarah Malalley and then Ethrin Mervis. Of course
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: there on the left hand side the Chief Rabbi who
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: has also been very vocal and publi over the past
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: few days promoting this agenda. Now, can we link these
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: lot and particularly rarely in the middle there, into the
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: network surrounding Jeffrey Epstein. That'd be quite a thing, wouldn't
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: it if all of this technology was coming out of
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: the Epstein work. Let's see how we can do that.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: So last, well, actually not just last. It was two
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: weeks ago that I was talking about this photo, but
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: we've reported on extensively over the past few years. This
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: is the Health Tech Advisory Board for the NHS, set
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: up in twenty eighteen, which included amongst its members this
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: lady Nicole Yunkerman, who was a very very close associate
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: with Jeffrey Epstein, and she actually called him mister Wonderful
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: because he helped get her into the World Economic Forum
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Young Global Leaders Programs among other things, among other things.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: And this group was established by this guy, and that's
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Dan Korsky in the background. And we did direct your
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: attention this was two weeks ago to this article. Excellent
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: article from twenty twenty one by Johnny Dmore, which you
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: should go and read.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Provide a link to it in the show notes. Go
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: and read this yourself.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: He describes Korsky's background, his links into various different intelligence
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: agencies and arms of the British and security apparatus, as
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: well as describing his links to Nicole Yunkerman and Edward
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: Barrack by their joint involvement in the Israeli intelligence link
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: surveillance company Carbine nine to one one. But further down
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: that article towards the bottom, there's another section. As I say,
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: it's a great article, lots in there. Definition should be
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: something for people to go and take a look at.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: He talks about also in twenty eighteen, the same time
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: that the Health Board was set up, the establishment by
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Corsky or something called Panopticon Technologies Limited alongside Sir Mark Rowley,
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: the current head of the Metropolitan Police. The man is
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: pushing forward essentially a pronopticon. That's what they're trying to build,
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: this digital surveillance state. And actually we can get a
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: bit more information about his role in Panopticon Technologies by
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: going to the website of the Royal United Services Institute.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: We can see a bit of profile on some Mark
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Rowley and it talks about his role as a strategic
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: advisor to public Io, which is Korski's company at the
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: bottom there his role as an advisor to Deloitte, who
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: is in a World Economic Forum partner, and then in
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: the middle the executive as an executive chairman, the executive
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: chairman of Octicon Technologies, which they describe as a new
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: venture bringing the disruptive effects of technology to the justice
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: and security services. So within that pinopticon suite of technologies
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: would exist things like facial recognition, for example, would exist
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: the predictive analytics that were contained in technologies like those
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: built by Paneer, and not just Paneteer, this entire ecosystem, right,
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: because we do live in a digital surveillance state now
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: and that means that if we can just bring this
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: slide up, we can see that Korski's there in the center.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: He was involved in setting up this organization Public which
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: is currently carving up the British government as a private
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: market place for technology companies, linked into the World Economic
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Forum via Alexander de Cavallo, who is the co founder.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: He also founded Pronocticon Technologies with Sir Mark Rowley, who
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: runs the Metropolitan Police, and at the same time that
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: he set up that company, he was establishing the NHS
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Digital Advisory Board with Nicole Yunkerman, who is a BESI
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: mates with mister wonderful Jeffrey Epstein, which places Rowy and
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: this whole agenda remarkably close to something extremely dark and
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: I think people really need to take a closer look
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: at this.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Ben, Thank you very much for that runs through what
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: this is really telling us and what it should be
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: telling our audiences. That it is simply not enough to
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: stay focused on mainstream politics as reported by the BBC.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: The actual full political agenda that's running through UK, the
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: creation of policy, the formulation of policies. This is all
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: being created by hand that were previously hidden but now
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: are actually coming to the lights. And of course all
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: of these people, none of these people have been elected
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: in a democratic sense to make them fully accountable to
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the public. They are people who are in position of
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: power i by virtue of the fact of their wealth
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: and influence or corporate status, helped by globalist organizations, be
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: it the World Economic Forum or perhaps the Builder Burgers.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: And on that note, Mark, let's welcome you to today's
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: UK column News. Thank you for joining us, still early
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: for you, and you've got an update on builderberg for
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: the audience.
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: Absolutely great to be here again. I was here April
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: ten for the initial Builderberg meeting report it happened April
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: nine through twelve, the earliest ever meeting probably on record
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: in the seventy two years that they've met. Now I'm
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: back here for an update. And there was mention of
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: Matthias Dopner of Axel Springer, the German national that runs
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: that media conglomerate. And it's interesting to note that his
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: Axel Springer SE Media group, which also owns the Washington Washington,
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: DC based Politico, received a favorable outcome in their bid
• 19:21
  Speaker 6: to purchase the UK's Daily Telegraph, and that happened just
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: two days after the Builderberg meeting concluded with the involvement
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: of the direct involvement in fact of the UK government
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: to solidify and officiate that purchase. And the price was
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: seven hundred and sixty six million in US dollars after
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: a three year bidding war, and yet the UK government
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: approved it just two days after Bildeberg, which was April fourteen,
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: So that's a.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Very important note.
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: Now, the Builderberg group met about one hundred and twenty
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: nine people from the US, a little bit of Canada,
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: a lot of Europe, about ten people from the UK,
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: and there is a list that I sent in. I
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: don't know if you want to show that first. There's
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: also a Secretary of Treasury press release I could talk about.
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: But the.
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: Intersections between economic, digitalization, AI and defense systems were unmistakably
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: evident at this meeting. Pallunteer technologies, which we're talking about today.
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: The CEO Alex Carp, he's been riding a Builderberg abetted
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: wave of major Pentagon contracts for expanding AI automated warfare systems.
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: This is a very big thing at Builderberg. He attended
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: alongside US Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll, who's known as mister Drone,
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: that's his moniker, and Driscoll, much to Karp's liking, strongly
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: supports these drone warfare systems and unmanned systems and all
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: of that fit into the Builderberg topic this year, one
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: of fourteen topics the future of warfare, and Driscoll notably
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: is the youngest Army secretary in US military history, and
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: he visited Ukraine's leadership unannounced late last year to try
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: and establish so called peace between Russia and Ukraine and
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: Russia Ukraine China. Those are perennial topics at Bilderberg now
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: and what you're seeing on the screen now is kind
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: of a gallery of some of the people that were there.
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, a mister Lesker, a French official.
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: You see CEO Alex Karp there next to him of
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: pallunteer Daniel Driscoll. Then to the far right on the top,
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: and then you have Patrick Collison out of Ireland, Henry
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: Cravis which we'll talk about in a minute, KKR out
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: of the US, mister Hassabis of DeepMind, Google from the UK,
• 21:57
  Speaker 6: and of course everyone's friend Eric Schmidt formerly Googled. Now
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: he's with an aerospace outfit. Those are just some of
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: the Builderberg luminaries who were there, Brian, and it's interesting
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: to note that mister Cravis is especially involved in one
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: of the topics that we can show on this overall list.
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: I put the main topics in red, the ones that
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: I found the most information about and that weren't too generic.
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: You can see that some are just USA the West.
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: They're very vague, they're very generic. Another one is Europe,
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: but AI digital finance, energy diversification, the Middle East, and
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: this is a big one transatlantic defence industrial relationship. This
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: is where mister Cravis comes in and the future of warfare,
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: automated warfare, unmanned systems like I've been talking about. Well,
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: mister Cravis is a major Builderberg player. His wife Marie
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: Cravis is on the steering committee. In fact, she has
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: co chaired the steering committee for a long time. And
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: she also runs the so called charity as if to
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: charity registered in the state of New York, and that's
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: the American Friends of Buildeberg much like the UK Builderberg Association.
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: They help arrange for the funding, Who's going to talk,
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: who's going to attend, what are they going to talk about,
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: where are they going to meet?
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Anyway.
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: Henry Kravis, a billionaire with KKR and Company, is heavily
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: involved in these AI investments Brian that directly impact military
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: and defense technology, including initiatives get this to build AI
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: military infrastructure right on US military bases and so. Some
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: of the key KKR defense and AI investments include military
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: data centers. KKUR is working along with Carlisle in exclusive
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: talks to build two US Army data centers, with each
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: estimated at two billion dollars us that includes a one
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: gigawatt facility at the Dougway Proving Ground in Utah. And
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: KKR and Black Ride neck deep in these things. And
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: there's also through KKR physical AI and autonomous vehicles. Cravis
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: is investing in Applied Intuition. That's another company. The connections
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: with Bilderberg and Applied Intuition are a little vague. I'm
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: still looking at it. There's a few indirect connections. And
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: everybody's favorite former CIA guide David Petraeus, even though he
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: didn't attend Builderberg this year, he's been there most years
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: and he is a partner at KKR and chairman of
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: KKR's Global Institute. And he's also neck deep in AI
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: for modern warfare, including autonomous drones and get this intelligence fusion.
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: So Bilderberg is sort of a clearinghouse and a meeting place,
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: very exclusive, very collusive for all these things. Brian and
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: I mentioned the Axel Springer And on a final note,
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: Queen Maxima of Holland the Netherlands attended Bilderberg for the
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: first time. Of course, Queen Beatrice has attended many many
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: years and in her digital crusee because digital finance is involved.
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: She's the UN Secretary General Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: for Development, and she's pushing digital financial services to promote
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: financial inclusion. There's those words, there's that language, global ease,
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: we call it, especially for low income people. And the
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: Queen supports the digital Euro, which for all intents and purposes,
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: Brian is the central bank digital currency. So those are
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: some of the key highlights with Bilderberg. Right now, there
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: is a press release from the Treasury Department, but in
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: the interest of time, maybe we can kick that over
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: to Extra.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Mark. Thank you very much for that. So you're building
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: the picture very nicely, of course, of these unelected, immensely
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: powerful people who are fully involved in deep global politics
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: and particularly that around war. As you've said, we'll discuss
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: this further in UK column Extra today. Now let's just
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: have a quick break and a huge thank you to
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: the audience that supports us. Without you, we would not
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: be functioning, would not be growing. This year is our
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: twentieth anniversary September, so if we just put this little
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: video clip on screen, I just wanted to remind people
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: of really where we started, which is challenging mainstream media
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: propaganda twenty years this year now. We've still got a
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: few tickets available for the conference, but they have been
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: going very quickly. So if you would like to join
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: us for our three day event in Plymouth, and we'd
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: love to have you there, you need to get onto
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: the UK Column website and get your ticket. We've been
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: saying to people, make a holiday break of it if
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: you are able, because you will be not only in
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: beautiful seaside town of Plymouth with panoramic views of the
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: sound and the water, but also fantastic countryside around. So
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: come and socialize with us, relax with other people who
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: are challenging what's going on, but also make the best
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: of it. Tickets still available, but over two thirds of
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: them already sold, and if you want a ticket you
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: need to get onto the website and get one now.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: I'd also like to remind the people of the UK
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Column monthly magazine of the Column, and I'd like to
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: draw your attention to the fact that my article in
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: that magazine was talking about the attack on juries by
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Lord Levison, and of course his movement seems to be
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: to get rid of juries. They're annoying. They can sometimes
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: make decisions which the judges don't like and essentially he's
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: would like the judges to be simply in power rating
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: what many people call the star court system. So if
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: you haven't got a copy of the magazine, get hold
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: of one through the UK column shop. Many many very
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: interesting and good articles. Now we've also got going out
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: tonight Silk and Steel. This is on the Iran War,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: which was supposed to crippled Choina, but that appears to
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: have backfired. So have a listening to cole Zar and
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: his guest Armored, and I'm sure that's going to be
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: a very interesting discussion. Diane, very quickly. Tomorrow at one
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: pm you've got an interview with doctor Donald Boyd voting
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: outside the uniparty. Tell us a little bit more, yes, sir.
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: Thanks Brian, and hello Ben and Mark and everyone. It's
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: great to be here today. Just to note that tomorrow
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: my interview, as Brian said, we'll be going out with
• 28:51
  Speaker 8: doctor Donald Boyd. He is based in Scotland and he
• 28:55
  Speaker 8: is a member of the Scottish Christian Party and he
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: is standing for MSP in the election going on this week.
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: So I think it's very interesting for as to hear
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: from people who are not part of the uniparty and
• 29:06
  Speaker 8: what they're standing for and why we should consider voting
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: outside of labor and tourism so on.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Okay, thank you very much for that. And lastly, I
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: just remind people that Germ did an excellent interview with
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Ian Davis on the subject of defining multi polarity. This
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: is a very hot topic. A lot of people getting
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: very hot under the collar about what multipopularity is in
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: the world, Who supports it, whose definition is best? Absolutely great,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: see Ian Davis back with us talking about that hot topic. Now,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: another hot topic, Diane comes to you because, of course
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: an increasing number of people as seeing the vicious attack
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: on the minds of children by our own government and
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: the education system. And of course what am I talking about.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: It's the sexualization, it's the grooming of children through the
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: government's religious and sexual education plan. But there's more things
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: happening in the background over to you.
• 30:08
  Speaker 9: Yeah, thanks Brad.
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: This is a really important topic and I started reporting
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: on this bill.
• 30:12
  Speaker 9: Last year on the news.
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: And the important thing is that this does boil down
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: to partially about the sexualization of children, but there are
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: a lot.
• 30:19
  Speaker 9: Of things around it that it is making.
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: This all possible It's important to note that just last
• 30:24
  Speaker 8: week this Act, called the Children's well Being in School's
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: Bill Now Act, gained Royalist scent on the twenty ninth
• 30:31
  Speaker 8: of April, which was last Wednesday, which now makes it law.
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: Of course, this was introduced by Education Secretary Bridge at
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: Phillipson and this was back in December twenty twenty four,
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: so it's taken a while. We can see here the
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: overall text of the bill, which the final version is
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: not available yet because there have been a lot of
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: changes which I'm going to go into. If we look
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: at the tweet that was posted by the Department of
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: Education on the day that this became law, they have
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: said here that basically, this is what's going to happen.
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: It's going to be wonderful. It's no longer going to
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: be so expensive to send your children to school. And
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: let's watch the short video that they presented here on
• 31:07
  Speaker 8: x saying what they say the bill does, in case
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: you're just what you're listening and not watching. If they're
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: talking about cutting the cost of school uniforms, they're talking
• 31:40
  Speaker 8: about returning breakfast clubs into schools, they're talking about things
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: that really don't actually have a lot to do with education,
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: but more about saying that they're saving people money. But
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: there's a lot more that's actually going on behind this,
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: of course, as we would have to expect. What's interesting
• 31:56
  Speaker 8: about this again is that there was no actual vote
• 31:59
  Speaker 8: that may this into law, other than of course the
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: Royal assent, But there was so much back and forth
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: between the Lords and the Commons over the past over
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: a year now that eventually made it into law. But
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: let's see what happened on last Wednesday when this was
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: debated in the Lord's Chamber and their response to how
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: they have handled this legislation.
• 32:23
  Speaker 10: Consideration of Commons Amendments to the Children's well Being in
• 32:26
  Speaker 10: Schools build of Ernest Smith and Laws.
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: Methods from the Commons that they agree to an amendment
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: made by your Lordships which is consequential to an amendment
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: made in lieu of an Amendment to the Children's well
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: Being in Schools Bill to which they have agreed. They
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: insist on their disagreement to amendments made by your Lordships
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: to their amendment in lieu of an amendment made by
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: your Lordships to which they have disagreed, and propose further
• 32:54
  Speaker 7: amendments in lieu of the amendments made by your lordships
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: to which they desire the agreement of your lordships, oh John.
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: So you always have to wonder if they think that
• 33:09
  Speaker 8: this was a big joke that has taken so much
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: pingponging to come up with what they now have passed
• 33:16
  Speaker 8: into law through a royalistent. It's interesting, though, and very
• 33:20
  Speaker 8: important to understand what's happening behind this act if we
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: look at who's presented it and what the people that
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: are presenting it have been doing for several years. The
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: Department for Education, of course is led by Bridget Phillipson,
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: who is the MP of from Sunderland, and she's of
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: course labeled part Labor Party. And the House of Lords
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: has been Baroness Smith of Malverne. As we heard in
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: the clip, her actual name is Jackie Smith before she
• 33:46
  Speaker 8: had her title. So let's look a little bit at
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: each of these ladies and what they have stood for
• 33:50
  Speaker 8: in the past. Baroness Smith of Melbourne, she has been
• 33:55
  Speaker 8: a fabian for several years. She has a long history
• 33:59
  Speaker 8: if she has been a previously. She also was on
• 34:03
  Speaker 8: Strictly Come Dancing in twenty twenty, because that's obviously a
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: very important point. She said on the BBC website that
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: her favorite contestant on Strictly Come Dancing was Ed Balls,
• 34:13
  Speaker 8: so again we see important connections going on here.
• 34:16
  Speaker 9: She contributed to.
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: A book published by the Fabian Society in twenty thirteen
• 34:20
  Speaker 8: that was based on a conference. The conference was called
• 34:23
  Speaker 8: Remaking the State, How should Labor Govern question mark, and
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: basically the point of the book was saying that labor
• 34:30
  Speaker 8: can be in fact radical enough to build a different state,
• 34:33
  Speaker 8: which is what we're seeing with legislation like this act.
• 34:36
  Speaker 8: Her paper that was contributed as part of this book
• 34:38
  Speaker 8: was called the Real Big Society, So of you might
• 34:40
  Speaker 8: remember this from her time when she was high up
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: in the cabinet that this was one of the things
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: that she was pushing back then, And the summary of
• 34:47
  Speaker 8: this paper was saying that labor policy and public services
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: should not just be about how we distribute public money,
• 34:52
  Speaker 8: but also about how we redistribute power and control important
• 34:57
  Speaker 8: words there to staff and users. We should use it
• 35:00
  Speaker 8: opportunity to transform.
• 35:01
  Speaker 9: The way we see the role of the state.
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: So looking at Bridget Phillipson again, I've covered her previously
• 35:07
  Speaker 8: as the Education Secretary and the Minister for women and equalities.
• 35:11
  Speaker 8: So of course she tweeted out about what she says
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: that the act does. Back when it was passed last week.
• 35:17
  Speaker 8: We can see her her little photo there saying that
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: she is voting to keep children safe, expand free school meals,
• 35:23
  Speaker 8: roll out free breakfast clubs, and cut school uniform costs. Well, again,
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: that's what we saw in the video in the beginning,
• 35:29
  Speaker 8: But what's actually going on if you read her further tweets.
• 35:32
  Speaker 8: In reply to that photo, she wrote, quote, the conflict
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: in Iran a war we won't be dragged into has
• 35:40
  Speaker 8: families worried about the cost of living. By rolling out
• 35:42
  Speaker 8: free breakfast clubs, expanding free school meals, and cutting the
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: cost of school uniforms, we'll save families up to one
• 35:48
  Speaker 8: thousand pounds and boost household finances. The actual make sure
• 35:52
  Speaker 8: all schools teach the National curriculum, so that's important because
• 35:55
  Speaker 8: of the sexual elements that's in the RSE programming in
• 35:59
  Speaker 8: schools now, and since we introduced it, we've put the
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: work into renew our curriculum, so it's cutting edge, which
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: means there's even more sexual curriculum now. This legislation ensures
• 36:08
  Speaker 8: every child in our country gets an education that leaves
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: them ready for work and ready for life. Now, as
• 36:14
  Speaker 8: I've said, Bridget cannot herself define what a woman is
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: despite being the Minister for Women and Equalities. Let's look
• 36:21
  Speaker 8: at a video. There's several videos of her talking about
• 36:23
  Speaker 8: what she thinks a woman might be. But here's just
• 36:25
  Speaker 8: one example.
• 36:28
  Speaker 11: Woman, agree what a woman is and you tell us
• 36:31
  Speaker 11: when you might have an answer to this when we're
• 36:33
  Speaker 11: the guidance. When were the guidance?
• 36:35
  Speaker 12: Can you give them any possible I can't give you
• 36:36
  Speaker 12: a date, weeks, months, No, I've got I've got my responsibility.
• 36:40
  Speaker 11: Because the Labor Party is tearing itself apart on the
• 36:43
  Speaker 11: definition of a woman. And until you define what a
• 36:47
  Speaker 11: woman is and get that agreement, you can't agree on
• 36:49
  Speaker 11: single sex spaces. You're not Because I think the reality
• 36:52
  Speaker 11: is we've got a sniff of the leadership election coming
• 36:54
  Speaker 11: up and there are certain people in the Labor Party
• 36:57
  Speaker 11: who don't want to upset the left.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: Let's sorry, that's just really offensive.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Its acord?
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because it Yeah, because I care about it.
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: So she was pushing for this bill again. She was
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: introduced Intocember of twenty twenty four. BBC reported in January
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: of twenty twenty five, as a result of her putting
• 37:20
  Speaker 8: out this bill that she was against the Conservative's amendment
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: that they were trying to introduce into the bill, pushing
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: for a new national inquiry into the Dreaming Games, and
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: saying that adding this to the bill would would be
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: utterly sickening in her words, because it would kill it
• 37:36
  Speaker 8: would kill the legislation, it would never go through if
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: this were would passing the Commons, essentially if they were
• 37:41
  Speaker 8: to reopen the inquiry into dreaming Games. And so therefore
• 37:46
  Speaker 8: she was totally against that whole situation, according to the BBC,
• 37:50
  Speaker 8: and this does get to start to get to the
• 37:53
  Speaker 8: point of what actually is going on behind this, and
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: this is according to the BBC itself, this.
• 37:57
  Speaker 9: Hasn't really changed much.
• 37:59
  Speaker 8: That they have said that all counselors are required to
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: hold a register of children who are not in school,
• 38:04
  Speaker 8: that there will be a unique identifier, a unique number
• 38:07
  Speaker 8: for every child, in the same way that we all
• 38:09
  Speaker 8: have national insurance numbers. Children will now have unique numbers.
• 38:13
  Speaker 8: Parents no longer have the right automatically to take their
• 38:16
  Speaker 8: children out of school for home education if this young
• 38:19
  Speaker 8: person is subject to a child protection investigation. This has
• 38:24
  Speaker 8: expanded into more possibilities, that more children will no longer
• 38:28
  Speaker 8: have the right to be homeschooled, local authorities having the
• 38:32
  Speaker 8: power to intervene and require attendance if they feel the
• 38:34
  Speaker 8: need to do so, and that all teachers will be
• 38:37
  Speaker 8: part of the same framework, regardless of whether they're in
• 38:40
  Speaker 8: a school run by local authorities or by an academy.
• 38:44
  Speaker 8: I would ask ad as well that Britain is also
• 38:46
  Speaker 8: a Fabian, just as her colleague was from the House
• 38:49
  Speaker 8: of Florence. She wrote, for example, this essay called Quiet
• 38:52
  Speaker 8: Radicalism for the Fabian Society back in October twenty twenty five.
• 38:56
  Speaker 8: You can read the whole essay that will be in
• 38:58
  Speaker 8: the show notes. She said, for example, quote I am
• 39:00
  Speaker 8: asking Labor members to give me a mandate which will
• 39:03
  Speaker 8: allow me to push the government to go further and
• 39:06
  Speaker 8: faster from my seat at the cabinet table.
• 39:09
  Speaker 9: So she expects a mandate.
• 39:11
  Speaker 8: So when we look at what this actually does the act,
• 39:13
  Speaker 8: it goes into digital surveillance. As Ben has already mentioned
• 39:17
  Speaker 8: earlier the news, we're seeing that everywhere the whole issue
• 39:20
  Speaker 8: of Phoebians themselves wanding this woofs and keeps clothing approach
• 39:24
  Speaker 8: to how they bring in their ideas slowly the expert
• 39:28
  Speaker 8: management of society using these inverted terms like well being
• 39:31
  Speaker 8: to make it look like it's for this children and
• 39:33
  Speaker 8: safeguarding children, but actually it's meant for tracking children and
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: the monitoring of them by this elite class and the
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: state centralized power. So finally, to conclude the segment, I
• 39:43
  Speaker 8: just have a clip here to show from Claire Fox,
• 39:45
  Speaker 8: or the Baroness Fox of book Play, who is not
• 39:47
  Speaker 8: affiliated with the party, talking in the chamber in that
• 39:49
  Speaker 8: same final discussion, pointing out some really important things that
• 39:54
  Speaker 8: we need to consider when we're looking at how things
• 39:56
  Speaker 8: get put into law in this country.
• 40:00
  Speaker 12: Is what if those consulted on the government's plans about
• 40:04
  Speaker 12: an under sixteen social media ban, those experts NGO's parents,
• 40:09
  Speaker 12: what if they don't agree that the age fun functionality
• 40:14
  Speaker 12: restrictions for under sixteens are the best approach to keeping
• 40:19
  Speaker 12: teens safe, or what if they raise worries about over
• 40:23
  Speaker 12: sixteens adults, anonymity and privacy and the fear of digital
• 40:28
  Speaker 12: id ID And certainly some of the fifty five thousand
• 40:32
  Speaker 12: people who've responded I know have raised the problem of
• 40:36
  Speaker 12: a censorship mission creep. The reason I'm asking that is
• 40:41
  Speaker 12: because isn't this preempting the outcome of a consultation which
• 40:44
  Speaker 12: the noble Lady of the Minister assured us the government
• 40:48
  Speaker 12: couldn't do.
• 40:50
  Speaker 9: Is there therefore a danger of.
• 40:52
  Speaker 12: Undermining evidence based policy in general? To be so pragmatic,
• 40:58
  Speaker 12: might it imply that public consultations are just going through
• 41:02
  Speaker 12: the motions and that politicians aren't really listening to the
• 41:05
  Speaker 12: public at all. And what do those of us who
• 41:08
  Speaker 12: have concerns about this under sixteen band do if some
• 41:13
  Speaker 12: of our warnings are ignored before it's even happened, never
• 41:17
  Speaker 12: mind afterwards, when I'm sure that we'll see that some
• 41:20
  Speaker 12: of our fears are actually true. And if, by the way,
• 41:24
  Speaker 12: this was only about keeping children safe, or I thought
• 41:27
  Speaker 12: it was the best way to keep children safe. Fine,
• 41:29
  Speaker 12: but not everybody thinks it's.
• 41:34
  Speaker 9: So Brian.
• 41:35
  Speaker 8: You see there, with the banning of social media and
• 41:37
  Speaker 8: films for under sixteens that we also know from other
• 41:40
  Speaker 8: countries as well as we expect that to come here
• 41:42
  Speaker 8: into the UK, that digital idea will be required for
• 41:45
  Speaker 8: everyone to show that we are over sixteen to be
• 41:47
  Speaker 8: allowed to use these services. So Brian, that's just an overview.
• 41:50
  Speaker 8: Will be come back to us later. There will be
• 41:52
  Speaker 8: a full article about this act in the Column magazine
• 41:56
  Speaker 8: in one of the coming issues as well.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: Thank you very much for that. I am well incredibly
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: serious this deliberate, calculated attack on the minds of young children.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: And I'll just bring this CitizenGo dot org petition on screen.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: And this is in relation to the Labor Party and
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: particularly Labor and p Samanthony Niblett who has launched her
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: Lifelong Learning Project with the backing of the adult entertainment
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: and adult toy industries. This project aims to radically overhaul
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: education and reshape public discourse around intimacy. What it's actually
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: doing is grooming young children around sexuality issues. Utterly disgusting
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: and disgraceful. And of course this is politicians bringing in
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: this malicious agenda. Now, the good news is that across
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: UK people are now starting to stand up and challenge
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: the subject is CCTVs and I'm delighted that we've had
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: some feedback from NOCTV dot org dot UK that we're
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: out over the weekend in Newcastle area to stop facial recognition.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: And thank you very much. To Nathan Allenby, who has
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: sent us a little report before we get to the
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: video report. This is one of the things that he's said.
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: There is a smart city project in Newcastle and in
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: that area a path tracking enhancement has been added which
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: tracks people's movements from camera to camera, enabling a full
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: history of any individual's movements to be extracted from every
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: frame of video from every camera, every angle with a
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: written commentary as have a look at his video report.
• 43:45
  Speaker 10: So today we're kicking off the first of a series
• 43:48
  Speaker 10: of protests around the country about the expansion of Britain's
• 43:52
  Speaker 10: CCTV system, and particularly it's enhancement with facial recognition. We're
• 43:57
  Speaker 10: starting to place that actually doesn't have a particularly bad
• 44:01
  Speaker 10: camera system, but we can see that it's going to
• 44:04
  Speaker 10: escalate quite quickly. It's going to attract all of the
• 44:09
  Speaker 10: worst features of the worst camera systems in Britain. So
• 44:14
  Speaker 10: what is facial recognition and what does it mean to you?
• 44:18
  Speaker 10: A lot the recent court case focused on live facial recognition,
• 44:23
  Speaker 10: but actually what's more of a concern is retrospective facial recognition.
• 44:28
  Speaker 10: For that they've taken our passport photos, driver's license, identity
• 44:34
  Speaker 10: document photos, that we didn't give permission for a police
• 44:39
  Speaker 10: database that they use to match against every suspect that
• 44:43
  Speaker 10: they find for every crime. Now, how's this going to work?
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 44:47
  Speaker 10: One of the things that we've seen is where say,
• 44:49
  Speaker 10: for example, they've got number plate tolling systems and they
• 44:54
  Speaker 10: continually misidentify a percentage of people driving through the toll
• 45:00
  Speaker 10: where there's the Time Tunnel in Newcastle, and that has
• 45:05
  Speaker 10: been identifying, misidentifying people from Kent who've never been to
• 45:11
  Speaker 10: timeside as passing through the Time tunnel. Now, a number
• 45:16
  Speaker 10: plate is something fairly clear and unambiguous compared to the
• 45:20
  Speaker 10: subtleties of a human face.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: A really great report. Great to see people active and
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: getting out and challenging in a very measured, informed way,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: And Nathan went on to say this in a statement
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: Future protests a plan for the cities with the most
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: comprehensive and intrusive video surveillance systems, including Glasgow and Manchester.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: These revealed the true nightmare of the AI pan opticon
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: that has already arrived and is not merely a fear
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: for the future. And finally this the implementation of a
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: comprehensive video surveillance has very much been a top down
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: project part of globalization. This is why it has been
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: supported by Sorry, it's sponsored by globalist bodies such as
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: the EU, the regional agent of globalization, and through international
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: cooperation projects. So Nathan Allen b thank you very much
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: for you and your team for getting out there, challenging
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: and sending the UK column of a report. Ben let's
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: bring you in because you've been aware of other people protesting,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: in particular against Paneteer itself. Yeah.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: The Palentteer process has been reported on several times over
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: the past few months by UK column, especially on Friday.
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: Haikoku has been a guest, including actually on last Friday,
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: and while I was in town last week, I took
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: the opportunity to go down have a little look at
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: what they're up to and have a chat. And there's
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: a short clip here with Haiko talking about what he
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: believes Parenteer believe they have the right and capability to
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: do to our society.
• 47:05
  Speaker 13: In the play by Berto Breck called a three penn Opera,
• 47:10
  Speaker 13: he has macked the knife from the famous song going
• 47:13
  Speaker 13: round killing people and always has got gloves on it.
• 47:16
  Speaker 13: You can never identify who it is, So this is
• 47:19
  Speaker 13: essentially The role of palent here is to act as
• 47:21
  Speaker 13: a sort of software cover under the auspices of collecting
• 47:25
  Speaker 13: data and facilitating the collection and compilation of data from
• 47:29
  Speaker 13: vast different sources. They actually provide the tools for slaughter,
• 47:34
  Speaker 13: surveillance and predictive policing and so on, but all under
• 47:41
  Speaker 13: the cover of saying we're just gathering bits of information.
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, it's the operating system for the.
• 47:49
  Speaker 13: Panopticon, yes, effectively. But beyond that Panoptagon is surveillance to
• 47:54
  Speaker 13: maintain control, which you could talk about, you know, the
• 47:57
  Speaker 13: idea of the Bentham's idea of everyone's survey as you're
• 48:00
  Speaker 13: one person in the middle watch with everybody. That's one thing.
• 48:03
  Speaker 13: But what they're saying palent here is look into the
• 48:06
  Speaker 13: future and shape it. So it's not really about getting
• 48:11
  Speaker 13: people to behave is getting its manipulating society based on
• 48:16
  Speaker 13: superior knowledge bases which come into their under their control
• 48:21
  Speaker 13: or under the inference, or better said, are provided to
• 48:25
  Speaker 13: agencies of control, and then these agencies of control can
• 48:30
  Speaker 13: exercise power in advance if you like, what needs to
• 48:36
  Speaker 13: be done. So the idea always was with a nuclear weapon,
• 48:38
  Speaker 13: you know, at first strike, capacity should be able to
• 48:41
  Speaker 13: defeat the enemy. They're saying, this is more powerful than
• 48:44
  Speaker 13: nuclear bomb, and we can paralyze societies, to destroy societies,
• 48:48
  Speaker 13: control societies, manipulate societies, you know, arrest enemies, you know,
• 48:54
  Speaker 13: identify them in advance, all these type of elements of
• 48:59
  Speaker 13: almost like god like power that they're trying to create
• 49:02
  Speaker 13: under the auspices of their own AI.
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: Systems, extraordinary god like power to shape society into new
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: forms that are more suitable to the people who build
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: these technologies. Right in the middle of the NHS and
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: the rest of our government and elsewhere across the whole
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: economic system, very very powerful organization. Paleteer and Haiko is
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: running that protest every Thursday from four pm at Soho
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: Square outside the Palenteer UK headquarters, and hopefully we'll see
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: that build over the summer because he's doing doing a
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: very good thing. And I've got to hang out with
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: Pierce Corbin too, which was a lot of fun.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: Ben, Thank you very much for that excellent report and
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: great to see people out there on the streets challenging
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: in this very calculated, measured way as opposed to banners
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: and drums and shouting this is the right way to
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: do things in my opinion that it would take us
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: on to innovation zero because of course you're able to
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: attend that event and give us some reports last week,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: but what have you got.
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So I was putting my commuter shoes back on
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: and getting on the overground first thing in the morning
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: and making my way over to Kensington Olympia in West
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: London to the Olympia Building. Stunning old Victorian exhibition space
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: was opened in eighteen eighty six as a place to
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: showcase the technologies of the First Industrial Revolution and it's
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: now being used to showcase the technologies of the Fourth
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: Industrial Revolution.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: Really incredible. I don't think i'd ever been in there.
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: Actually, it's a beautiful, beautiful building, very light.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: We were lucky that day because there was some incredible
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: sunshine and it was there to host this thing. It
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: was a public private partnership headline sponsor with HSBC.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: There's a bunch of other corporate names in there too.
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: As importantly was being delivered in collaboration with UK Research
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: and Innovation, who were the main government department responsible for
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: disseminating new eyes ideas and technologies across the system.
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: But it wasn't just UK r.
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: There was an enormous government presence there, including the National
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: Wealth Bank and nothing National Wealth Fund sorry, and all
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: of these slugs of taxpayer money that are being driven
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: into this industrial transition, and an enormous amount of people.
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: There was a relatively slow start, but it was well attended,
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: lots of networking, lots of deals, lots of money flowing
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: around the place, huge pools of capital trying to snip
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: out opportunities to create new businesses and to extract extraordinary
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: profits ultimately, because that's really to be fair. Like what
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: appears to be driving this thing, a lot of this
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: is presented as ideological.
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: These people are described almost as true believers.
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: These are the true believers that are going to drive
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: the climate transition. But actually, you know, it's not all
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: about doing good for humanity, and actually it's much more
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: related to extraction of profit and the projection of power.
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: This guy was leading out the entire conference. So this
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: is Nigel Topping, who is the chair of the Climate
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: Change Commission, who did acknowledge that he's actually preaching.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: To the choir.
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: So he's talking to a lot of people here who
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: already agree with what he's saying. And as I said,
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: there is something semi religious about this, you know, this
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: idea that there's a dogged adherence to the supposed fact
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: that floods, fires, and natural disasters are increasing all around
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: the world, when actually the data seems to suggest the
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: complete opposite. You know, so there are certain tenets to
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: this belief system that must be adhered to in order
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: for you to kind of go along with this entire
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: transition and the logic that sits behind it. A few
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: other things that he did say in the stage, in
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: his opening remarks, the only route to energy security is electrification.
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of use of this word security and resilience.
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: His view is that this transition is only going to accelerate.
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: There was a lot of data presented about carbon that
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: had already been taken out of the system, whether that
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: was the energy system or other sectors of society, and
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: much more projection, i think, certainly than in previous years,
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: about the scope for corporations to generate enormous profits for themselves.
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: Right there seems to have been quite a clear shift
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: from we've got to do this because it's the right
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: thing to do, and you have to be a true
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: believer to buy into it. To actually we need to
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: talk the language of business in order to attract in
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: the capital that we need in order to make these
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: projects fly, you know, using terms like there are fortunes
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: to be made. Marissa Drew from Standard Charter Banks said
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: that this isn't infinite market opportunity. That was her description
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: of the energy transition, which is very, very very different
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: to what we get communicated to us on the BBC News,
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: for example, and this is all.
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: About saving humanity.
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: A lot of carrot, so they're talking about profit, they're
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: talking about opportunity to build new businesses, but there's also
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: a lot of stick here as well. So on one
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: of the panels that mister Topping was on this chap
• 54:28
  Speaker 3: here Paul Dickinson from the Outrage and Optimism podcast, which
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: is actually a lot more influential than that sounds, because
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: he works with Christina Figuez who was the former UN
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: Commissioner for Climate Change. She was one of the key
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: people behind the Paris Climate Agreement. He was doing a
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: Q and A session with Nigel Topping where he basically
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: said that there was a strong coordinated global government response
• 54:53
  Speaker 3: to COVID and that that is a good thing when
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: we see a similar approach to the climate crisis. So
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: essentially he he is calling for mandated, top down global
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: government interventions in order to drive this transition through, regardless
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: of whether the population wants it or not, and frankly,
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: regardless of whether the science actually supports that kind of activity.
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: He himself actually talking about the idea that this is
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: a new industrial revolution. How do we unlock this industrial revolution?
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: Again, so presented as this kind of altruistic move to
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: text humanity, but underlying that a lot of political and
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: a lot of economic motives as well. There was definitely
• 55:35
  Speaker 3: a sense that they kind of lost losing the argument actually,
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: So there was a comment from this lady Laura san Cbe,
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: you can see her there in the in the red jacket,
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: saying that the technocratic argument has failed and that we
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: need to take a much more human approach to how
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: we communicate this to people. That was quite entertaining because
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: Adair Turner, who is just to her left as we're
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: looking at this image, has described himself as a technocrat,
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: and that's actually what he said that he's done, and
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: I think there was probably a little gibe from her.
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: The's some of two high priests of the climate transition
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: with their different views of how it should be progressed.
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: She giving him a little elbow in the ribs in
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: front of people in this public, public forum, and also
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: had there on the stage on the right hand side Metikoban,
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: who's the Deputy Mayor for Energy in the Environment serving
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: under Selik Khan, who managed to politicize absolutely everything. Anything
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: that comes out of that guy's mouth is positioned in
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: this weird neo Marxist us VI them left the right.
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: Trump had wee good sort of worldview that just cheapens
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: the whole thing, frankly, and I'm not sure that he's
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: capable of looking at the world or operating in a
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: way which doesn't sit within that kind of rhetorical frame, unfortunately,
• 56:48
  Speaker 3: And he appears to be on his way up to
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: the top levels of politics, where he's probably already.
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: Fair the way up there.
• 56:56
  Speaker 3: To be honest with you, there were a lot of
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: big female representations.
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: A lot of these panels were all women.
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: And also importantly I noted that the Dandelion Network it
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: was in the mix. So this is Dashana Maronidis, who
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: is the head of sustainability at Virgin Group, talking about
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: the economic opportunity of this global transition. You can see
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: her there with the Dandelion and the UNSDG round or
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: the Dandelion network we spoke about a lot last year,
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: but essentially this is a female, female only global network
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: of high powered political, cultural and economic leaders in big corporations.
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: Government departments, wherever it might be.
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: They were essentially taking it upon themselves to conspire with
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: each other in order to push this whole thing forward. Again,
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: really sort of outside of the bounds of democratic process
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: or what people inside these countries, including our country, actually
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: want to see happen next. Quite extraordinary. Actually, some real
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: big hitters there on stage. I've already talked about Nigel Toppic.
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, this is really the top level of the
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: climate transition in the UK and internationally in the UK.
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: We got this guy here. So this was Chris Stark CBE,
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: who is the head of Mission Control for the Energy
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: Transition at the Department of Net Zero and Energy Security,
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: working directly into Ed Millerband was put into that position
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: about eighteen months ago.
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: He used the remarkable phrase my clean energy system. So
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: mister Stark thinks that it's his clean energy system that
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: we're building. Quite an amazing turn and phrase bit of
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: a slip of the tongue there. He also acknowledged that
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: we're going to need oil and gas even within the
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: current transition plans up to twenty fifty, which was quite
• 58:44
  Speaker 3: remarkable and then does beg the question, why on earth
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: are we shutting down our own oil and gas capabilities.
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: We've got assets, Why are we not exploiting them given
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: that we know that we're going to need them. Why
• 58:54
  Speaker 3: are we having to buy this in from overseas? The
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: big question I don't think anyone's got an answer to.
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: He also said that the most important thing happening in
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: energy at the moment is this. This is the strategic
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: Spatial Energy Planning process, It says, the most important thing happening.
• 59:10
  Speaker 3: So I've got to keep your eye on that, or
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: put a link to it so you can go and
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: read up on it. And it was really fascinating just
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: to get it, first of all, to just sit in
• 59:18
  Speaker 3: the room with these people. And you know, you can
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: watch a lot of YouTube videos and get a sense
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: of what people are about, but it's not until you're
• 59:24
  Speaker 3: actually in the room and you can see the whites
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: of their eyes and you can sense the body language,
• 59:28
  Speaker 3: but you actually really get a sense for them. And
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: also a lot of the material here has not been
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: made publicly available post events, so actually the only way
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: that you could hear things like that little comment that
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: he made about it being his sustainable energy system, you
• 59:43
  Speaker 3: can only get by sitting in the room, So actually
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: that was incredibly important.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: And then just to very.
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: Quickly wrap up, I just want to show these images
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: about how this is actually playing out across the UK.
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: So the Tees Valley got a big stand there.
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: So this is talking about building the world's first net
• 59:59
  Speaker 3: zero industrial US by twenty forty. And then this is
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: a huge effort across the whole of the region to
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: pull together all of the different industrial capabilities and to
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: repurpose them and redirect them towards an energy transition, to
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: create new jobs, new commercial opportunities. This is all being
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: done in partnership with local politicians and particularly linked in
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: to the devolved regions. And this just gives you a
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 3: sense of quite how transformative this has the potential to
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: be and quite how many forces and people and organizations
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: are lined up around it. And there'll be much, much
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: much more to come on this as the year goes on,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: because this is really the game in terms of.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: The way that our society has been reshaped.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: Ben, thank you very much for that excellent report. And
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: of course this really takes our mind into the power
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: based driving things. The idea that our politicians wake up
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: in the morning and they've got ideas as to what's
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: to happen going to happen in the country is ludicrous.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: This is the power base, and this is the power
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: base that is never exposed on the BBC or other
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: mainstream media because of course their job is to keep
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: this change agenda hidden. So Ben, thank you very much.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: We'll chat a bit more about this in extra Diane.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: Let's bring you back with a health warning for our audience,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: because you're going to just take a glimpse at the
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: sort of intellectual that is now teaching young people in
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: our universities.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 8: Yes, thanks Brian, thanks for introducing it.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 9: With that warning.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 8: If you are eating lunch, I would suggest putting it
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 8: aside for just a moment.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 9: This is Matt Radley.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 8: His pronouns are they them, and he is a lecturer
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 8: at Oxford University in Saint Hilda's College. We can see
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 8: they're multiple foldos of Matt with massive prosthetic plastic breasts,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 8: nail varnish address, but a really really long beard. He's
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 8: been all over social media in the past week or so.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 8: This article that I've chosen here is from a website
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 8: called Redux, which calls itself a truly feminist, truly pro
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 8: women's source, not so much about the transagenda, but truly
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 8: in favor of women and children.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 9: Matt here, he's.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 8: Got a lot of photos all over social media, and
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 8: photos and videos that have been constantly circulating, certainly not
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 8: making the argument for the other side of things when
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 8: it comes to how we view the transagenda this year.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 8: Is a photo that I just took from his LinkedIn profile,
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 8: wearing red lipstick and once again those plastic attachments, apparently
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 8: preparing a lecture. It would seem that those would get
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 8: in the way of actually, you know, typing or writing
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 8: anything from someone who is an actual woman who lectured
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 8: for over twenty years. But anyways, this is what he
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 8: says he's doing.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 9: So I just.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 8: Wanted to make people aware of what is going on
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 8: and the fact that these are, as you said, the
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 8: people teaching the young people at the University of Oxford.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 8: This is a chemistry lecturer. I would say, Brian, he
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 8: probably is not an expert in biology. I don't know
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 8: what you think about that.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: Well, the thing is, Diane, we're not allowed to think,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: but we can at least look and wonder. Again, we'll
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: talk more in extra now. Just a couple of nice
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: images to end on, because regularly people are saying to
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: us they're finding it difficult to cope with this onslaught
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: of madness and a very pressurizing political agenda and policy
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: coming through, and our reaction to that is get out
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: into nature. So where will you, Diane?
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 8: Was that for a walk with the dogs over the weekend.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 8: This is sort of the eastern edge of Gateshead in
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 8: a place called Windy Nook Nature Park, overlooking Newcastle. So
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 8: it was nice to be able to see the city
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 8: but also not be in it with all of the
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 8: springtime things happening and the wonderful weather we had at
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 8: least earlier.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 9: In the weekend.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: Brilliant. Thank you for that. Well, the final slide will
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: be Devon England because I was also out over the weekend,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: absolutely stunningly beautiful, even though there was a lack of sunshine.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: But I'm going to say once again, if you join
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: us for our UK Column twenty twentieth anniversary event down
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: here in Plymouth, you can see much of the beautiful
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: Devon countryside, the beautiful cliff walks and the beaches and
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: get full value from spending those three days with us.
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: So get online, have look at the tickets and bring
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: a friend. We must end there. Thank you very much
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: to the audience for joining us wherever you are in
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: the world. Serious things happening, but of course what we
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: are seeing is uniformativity in policy. Bear in the UK,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: the US, in Western Europe. We are under attack and
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: the best way to fighting it is to expose it
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: so that people can take local action to stop these
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: pernicious policies coming into full effect. We must stand there
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: for your UK Column member. Do join us for UK
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: Column Extra in a few moments. Otherwise the UK Column
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: team will be back for the News on Wednesday at
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: one o'clock. See you then stay posted for Extra. Bye
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: bye
