Speaker 1: Good afternoon. Today is Monday, the thirtieth of March twenty
0:12
Speaker 1: twenty six, just after one o'clock. Welcome to UK column News.
0:16
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Brian Gerrish. Delitte to have Ben Rubin
0:19
Speaker 1: with me in the studio.
0:20
Speaker 2: Delighted to be here.
0:22
Speaker 1: And what a busy news we've got today. Now we're
0:25
Speaker 1: going to kick off with the good news. And the
0:27
Speaker 1: good news is a reminder that in our aunt section
0:31
Speaker 1: we're going to be talking about UK Column's twentieth anniversary
0:35
Speaker 1: coming up in September. We've got the Easter holidays coming up,
0:39
Speaker 1: give you plenty of time to think about it. But
0:41
Speaker 1: we're also going to be talking about tickets on sale,
0:44
Speaker 1: so stay with us for that alone. Now, we've got
0:49
Speaker 1: a huge number of things happening in the world, lots
0:52
Speaker 1: of turbulence, lots of headlines. We're going to take a
0:56
Speaker 1: deep look today into the war, protests against the war,
1:00
Speaker 1: and essentially, Ben, you're going to be taking our audience
1:04
Speaker 1: into a closer look at the divide and rule tactics
1:07
Speaker 1: that are being used. We're going to have a look
1:10
Speaker 1: at the possible invasion of carg Island, which appears to
1:14
Speaker 1: be Trump's key target but is it really Trump or
1:18
Speaker 1: is it Israel that's driving the agenda there, We're going
1:21
Speaker 1: to be taking a look at the government's compassionate interests
1:25
Speaker 1: in veterans and what that really means within a bigger
1:29
Speaker 1: political picture. Ben, you're having a look at the progressive cabal,
1:35
Speaker 1: the socialist new World Order. Effectively, we're going to be
1:39
Speaker 1: having a little look at missile problems which are clearly
1:43
Speaker 1: affecting not only the Israelis but the US, and Ben,
1:49
Speaker 1: you're ending today on a look at the BBC's new
1:52
Speaker 1: director general and the amazing power politics around that. Quite extraordinary. Well,
1:58
Speaker 1: let's kick off with the President or should I say
2:02
Speaker 1: the King, King Trump. Let's have a little listen to
2:05
Speaker 1: what he's been saying.
2:08
Speaker 3: Well, we've had regime change if you look already, because
2:13
Speaker 3: the one regime was decimated, destroyed, they're all dead. The
2:17
Speaker 3: next regime is obstly dead, and the third regime we're
2:21
Speaker 3: dealing with different people than anybody's dealt with before. It's
2:24
Speaker 3: a whole different group of people. So I would consider
2:28
Speaker 3: that regime change, and frankly they've been very reasonable. So
2:32
Speaker 3: I think we've had regime change. But you can't do
2:34
Speaker 3: much better than that.
2:38
Speaker 1: So what a remarkable man. We just keep killing them
2:41
Speaker 1: till we get people we think we can deal with
2:44
Speaker 1: the reasonable ones, and if they don't act reasonably, then
2:48
Speaker 1: we keep killing them. This is effectively what Trump has said,
2:51
Speaker 1: and he's repeatedly said it. But let's look at a
2:55
Speaker 1: little bit more detail here. He said, to be honest
2:59
Speaker 1: with you, my favorite thing is to take the oil
3:01
Speaker 1: in Iran. But some stupid people back in the US
3:05
Speaker 1: say why are you doing that? But they're stupid people.
3:09
Speaker 1: This is quite a clue to what's going on in
3:12
Speaker 1: the Middle East that basically it's get in and take
3:15
Speaker 1: the oil. Nothing really has changed much there, ben And
3:19
Speaker 1: if we add a little bit more. He also said this,
3:23
Speaker 1: maybe we take carg Island. Maybe we don't. We have
3:26
Speaker 1: a lot of options. It would also mean we had
3:30
Speaker 1: to be there. He means in carg Island for a while,
3:34
Speaker 1: and we'll add the next one. I don't think they
3:38
Speaker 1: have any defense. We could take it very easily. So
3:43
Speaker 1: Trump at least who we describe King of America there,
3:46
Speaker 1: Because as we'll see fairly shortly, this is one of
3:49
Speaker 1: the key terms used in the protests. He's very cocky
3:53
Speaker 1: when he's talking to the media, but he changes his story.
3:57
Speaker 1: If he doesn't like anybody who's there in Iran, he's
4:01
Speaker 1: going to kill them. He's going to keep bombing them
4:05
Speaker 1: till they come round to his point of view. So
4:07
Speaker 1: this is vicious stuff. Then at the end of the
4:09
Speaker 1: end of the day, and not surprisingly, there has been
4:12
Speaker 1: a backlash with demonstrations, particularly this weekend. Let's just have
4:17
Speaker 1: a little look at some of the demonstrations in the US.
4:21
Speaker 1: And this is a little composite clip, so there are
4:24
Speaker 1: a number of locations in the US in this clip.
4:29
Speaker 1: We're playing it with sound just to give a bit
4:31
Speaker 1: of impact for what was happening on the ground. You
4:54
Speaker 1: come down, well classic there we mentioned sound. Of course,
5:21
Speaker 1: a lot of noise in those marches, drums, bells, whistles,
5:29
Speaker 1: all sorts of things that you could hear, as well
5:31
Speaker 1: as the shouts of the people themselves. But clearly a
5:34
Speaker 1: lot of people desperately unhappy with what's going on. And
5:38
Speaker 1: as I say, that little clip was from across the US,
5:42
Speaker 1: it wasn't just confined to one major city. Now, of course,
5:48
Speaker 1: there were also protests going on in Israel. And if
5:52
Speaker 1: we just bring this on screen, we can see some
5:55
Speaker 1: of this aheadline in English, no more feeding the war machine. Basically,
6:01
Speaker 1: as the Western protests were well either dissolved or were
6:06
Speaker 1: maneuvered into left right diviid, Jews were on the streets
6:11
Speaker 1: protesting against the war in tel Aviv. Let's have a
6:15
Speaker 1: look at this little video clip.
6:19
Speaker 4: War against Iran. Protesters opposed is really militarism. Protesters criticize
6:25
Speaker 4: Israeli Prime Minister Benjaminathania who and the cops and protesters
6:29
Speaker 4: clash in tel Aviv. So unrest in tel Aviv as
6:33
Speaker 4: there are hundreds of protesters who gathered to demonstrate against
6:37
Speaker 4: this Israel and US war against Iran in tel Aviv
6:41
Speaker 4: on Saturday. They are against this war, many carrying signs
6:44
Speaker 4: opposing Israeli militarism and also criticizing the country's Prime Minister,
6:49
Speaker 4: Benjaminettan Young. The police and secority forces moved to disperse
6:53
Speaker 4: the crowd shortly after the protestant began sparking clashes, and
6:58
Speaker 4: Israel's Home Front Commanders of Policy currently mandates a limit
7:02
Speaker 4: of fifty people at outdoor gatherings as the conflict with
7:05
Speaker 4: Iran continues. The tel Aviv protests marked the start of
7:09
Speaker 4: the fifth week of fighting in a war that appeared
7:11
Speaker 4: at risk of spreading further across the region tamer Square.
7:15
Speaker 5: The placards of these protesters share the same message, stop
7:19
Speaker 5: the war with Iran. Several hundred gathered in the center
7:23
Speaker 5: of Tel Aviv to protest the conflict on Saturday.
7:27
Speaker 6: We are four weeks into the war that nobody actually
7:32
Speaker 6: know what is the name of the war, because in
7:35
Speaker 6: the beginning the set we are against the missiles, against
7:38
Speaker 6: the nuclear maybe to take down the rejim in Iran.
7:42
Speaker 6: But after two weeks everybody understood that it's not going
7:46
Speaker 6: to happen.
7:48
Speaker 5: These demonstrators hold Benjamin Netanyahu responsible for the war.
7:55
Speaker 1: So you might be interesting why we chose those clips
7:57
Speaker 1: well from Indian News and France twenty four. We had
8:01
Speaker 1: to go overseas because of course the BBC simply not
8:05
Speaker 1: reporting those demonstrations at all. And if we bring this
8:09
Speaker 1: up on screen over the weekend, I was searching on
8:13
Speaker 1: the BBC website for war protests in Tel Aviv. This
8:17
Speaker 1: is the sort of thing that came up. So we're
8:20
Speaker 1: going back to June twenty twenty four with the guys
8:22
Speaker 1: of war. Sixteen hours ago that was back into Saturday,
8:28
Speaker 1: I would think, now Trump waging war two days ago,
8:31
Speaker 1: why did US an Israel attack Iran three days ago?
8:35
Speaker 1: UK petro and diesel prices. So what the BBC is
8:39
Speaker 1: doing here is clearly supporting the war by its deliberate
8:43
Speaker 1: omission of any protest in Israeli itself. And I'm going
8:48
Speaker 1: to say credit to those Israelis who were on the
8:50
Speaker 1: streets even though quite quite severe clamped down by the
8:57
Speaker 1: Israeli government limiting the number of peace who can gather
9:01
Speaker 1: to fifty at any one time. Now, if we really
9:04
Speaker 1: want to know how public opinion is paying attention to
9:08
Speaker 1: what King Trump is doing, let's have a look at
9:11
Speaker 1: this little clip which is an American an American comedy
9:16
Speaker 1: series called What's the Story?
9:21
Speaker 7: That's that guy?
9:22
Speaker 2: Who's that one?
9:23
Speaker 8: Who'nsay?
9:25
Speaker 9: Is this any airport in America right now?
9:28
Speaker 10: And that's gas?
9:29
Speaker 11: Yeah?
9:30
Speaker 2: And that guy is fucked.
9:33
Speaker 1: We're painted into a corner.
9:34
Speaker 8: And Iran also, I mean it seems like a big story.
9:36
Speaker 8: You got gas prices, you got the straight off hor moves,
9:39
Speaker 8: you got the airports, you got all kinds of stuff.
9:42
Speaker 9: The story is the rhyme fighting back and global economic
9:45
Speaker 9: catastrophe looming. It seems that President Trump has painted himself
9:49
Speaker 9: into a bit of a corner with this war. I
9:52
Speaker 9: guess we're still calling.
9:53
Speaker 2: It it's an excursion, whatever the hell you want to
9:55
Speaker 2: call it.
9:56
Speaker 9: It is definitely a war we have already won. Right
10:00
Speaker 9: or look, here's Caroline Levin on Wednesday.
10:02
Speaker 12: Summon it up, President Trump. That is not bluff and
10:05
Speaker 12: he is prepared to unleash Hell. Any violence beyond this
10:08
Speaker 12: point will be because the Iranian regime refused to understand
10:11
Speaker 12: they have already been defeated.
10:15
Speaker 9: Okay, does not sound like a threat from like bang
10:18
Speaker 9: from back.
10:19
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, little fuels.
10:21
Speaker 9: To understand you have already been defeated.
10:24
Speaker 8: Ron State TV says that Trump capitulated there are no
10:28
Speaker 8: direct or indirect talks taking place with the Trumpet regime.
10:32
Speaker 8: I'm not thrilled that. I trust Iranian State TV more
10:39
Speaker 8: than I trust my president.
10:40
Speaker 3: They want very much to make a deal. We'd like
10:43
Speaker 3: to make a deal too. If it goes well, we're
10:45
Speaker 3: gonna end up with settling this. Otherwise, we just keep
10:48
Speaker 3: bombing our little hearts.
10:49
Speaker 9: Out now, so the people in a relationship uppere on
10:52
Speaker 9: the panel, is that an effective negotiating strategy?
10:58
Speaker 1: So pretty telling piece of video clip because the humor
11:04
Speaker 1: went on a long time after this particular little clip.
11:08
Speaker 1: But it's clear people are not only seeing through what
11:11
Speaker 1: Trump's up to, They're taking the mickey, They're laughing at him.
11:15
Speaker 1: And I think this is a really really powerful turnaround.
11:18
Speaker 1: But ben also demonstrations in UK, of.
11:20
Speaker 2: Course, demonstrations all over the place, lots of protest at
11:24
Speaker 2: the moment, Brian including the Trump is just becoming more
11:27
Speaker 2: and more ridiculous. Those clips are just astonishing.
11:31
Speaker 1: Astonishing ridiculous, but very very dangerous.
11:34
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, the most powerful man in the world will
11:36
Speaker 2: could possibly go wrong. Anyway. Let's head back to this
11:39
Speaker 2: side of the Atlantic and to central London on Saturday,
11:45
Speaker 2: where there was indeed a fairly big protest which turned
11:50
Speaker 2: out for the Together Alliance, and this was about combating
11:57
Speaker 2: the rise of the far right. This is a rambo
12:00
Speaker 2: coalitions and familiar names there stop the war, CND got
12:04
Speaker 2: the UN flag flying high above the whole thing. Is
12:08
Speaker 2: this going to achieve much? I don't think so. And
12:11
Speaker 2: why is that? Because it's part of a divide and
12:14
Speaker 2: rural agenda. And I've spoken about this particular visual a
12:19
Speaker 2: couple of months ago have introduced it to essentially demonstrate
12:23
Speaker 2: the dividing lines that we're currently being forced into across
12:27
Speaker 2: the political and cultural discourse, whether you're on the left
12:31
Speaker 2: or the right. Right being broadly speaking, white, masculine, native,
12:37
Speaker 2: rural conservative Christian who supports Israel broadly speaking, and this
12:42
Speaker 2: is crude, by the way, but they have to operate
12:44
Speaker 2: in a crude fashion because no one fits into these
12:47
Speaker 2: neat buckets that they want us to fit into. And
12:50
Speaker 2: on the left you have black, feminine, immigrant, urban progressive
12:54
Speaker 2: Islamic who supports Palestine. And these warring factions have been
12:59
Speaker 2: embedded down into to our society over the past several years,
13:03
Speaker 2: been going on for a lot longer than that, but
13:05
Speaker 2: it's becoming particularly pronounced, and nowhere less than in the
13:10
Speaker 2: should I say nowhere more so than in the political system.
13:14
Speaker 2: So if you think about some of the characters that
13:16
Speaker 2: we have on our TV screens on a regular basis,
13:20
Speaker 2: occupying high offices of state, kissed Arma there on the
13:23
Speaker 2: left hand side, the left wing, versus Nigel Farage on
13:28
Speaker 2: the right wing the right hand side, we go the
13:32
Speaker 2: level down in the discourse. We have Zach Polanski, the
13:35
Speaker 2: new emergent and ascendant leader of the left versus Tommy Robinson,
13:42
Speaker 2: the supposed folk hero and investigative journalist who is basically
13:49
Speaker 2: used as a bogeyman for left wing operatives to focus
13:55
Speaker 2: them and to scare them into action basically, and then
13:58
Speaker 2: right down to the bottom level. Probably get some upset
14:01
Speaker 2: people upset about this, but you've got the likes of
14:03
Speaker 2: Jeremy Corbyn, who is basically just been kicked into the
14:08
Speaker 2: long grasp, not least by himself over the past twelve
14:12
Speaker 2: eighteen months with this bizarre Your Party project, and I'm
14:16
Speaker 2: not even sure they've decided what the name of the
14:17
Speaker 2: party is going to be yet they seems to be
14:19
Speaker 2: burning a lot of time and energy on bureaucratic details
14:24
Speaker 2: and political stuff. And then on the right hand side,
14:27
Speaker 2: I think a similar thing is being done via Rupert
14:30
Speaker 2: Low and Restore Britain because actually, if you look politically,
14:34
Speaker 2: neither Your Party nor Restore Britain figure anywhere in the
14:39
Speaker 2: most recent polling. So this came out from you Gov
14:42
Speaker 2: over the weekend. This is national voting intentions and you
14:45
Speaker 2: can see Reform somehow remarkably still in the lead nationally,
14:49
Speaker 2: despite Faraj's ongoing attempts to undermine the party that have
14:54
Speaker 2: been going on pretty much since the outset actually, and
14:57
Speaker 2: then you can see below that Labor somehow still in
15:00
Speaker 2: the mix despite Starmer's best attempts to discredit the party.
15:04
Speaker 2: But the real story here, I think is Green. We
15:07
Speaker 2: were absolutely in the ascendant, and as I've spoken about previously,
15:11
Speaker 2: I see them as the chosen vehicle for elite policy
15:15
Speaker 2: because the establishment is very much backing immigrant, urban Islamic,
15:24
Speaker 2: not Palestine supporting, but that kind of demographic that exists
15:28
Speaker 2: in our major cities. Increasingly in our major cities. The
15:32
Speaker 2: establishment views the future of the country and that is
15:37
Speaker 2: very much I think playing out in terms of the
15:39
Speaker 2: level of support that they're getting, the level of coverage
15:42
Speaker 2: that they're getting, and the other parties, like your Party
15:45
Speaker 2: in Restore Britain, they only figure down here in the
15:47
Speaker 2: other section. So the idea that the execut it's a
15:51
Speaker 2: rounding era, essentially, the idea that Rupert Lowe is going
15:55
Speaker 2: to roll into Downing Street in twenty twenty nine, a
16:00
Speaker 2: triumphant new prime Minister of the country. I mean, it's
16:03
Speaker 2: extremely far fit, let's just put it like that. But
16:07
Speaker 2: these are the dividing lines that have been driven down
16:09
Speaker 2: into our society at a political level, and this will continue,
16:14
Speaker 2: no doubt, certainly in mainstream politics, but also down onto
16:17
Speaker 2: the street level as well. And we spoke back in
16:20
Speaker 2: September about the United the Kingdom March. This was Tommy
16:23
Speaker 2: Robinson's event held in central London on the thirteenth of September.
16:28
Speaker 2: Estimates of over a million people on the streets. But
16:32
Speaker 2: within days of this a huge left wing counter protest
16:36
Speaker 2: had been announced and that is the event that happened
16:40
Speaker 2: over this last weekend. And we've got a short clip
16:43
Speaker 2: here showing us some of what happened on the ground.
17:07
Speaker 1: So, Ben, this is control and manipulation of these demonstrations
17:12
Speaker 1: in order to get these divide lines that you're talking about.
17:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely yes, and for the messaging extremely clear racism
17:21
Speaker 2: shut it down. So that's essentially anyone who's nationalist it literally, yeah,
17:26
Speaker 2: there's any of you who are racist now and the
17:28
Speaker 2: far right shut it down, you know. And you could
17:32
Speaker 2: see on the banner at the front there that it
17:34
Speaker 2: was all about farage and reform and these are the Nazis,
17:37
Speaker 2: so they're keeping everything at that very kind of top level.
17:40
Speaker 2: There's no room for nuance here. At all, and labeling.
17:43
Speaker 2: Everybody gets some label, absolutely, yes, yeah, yeah, because it
17:46
Speaker 2: becomes tribalized. And then ultimately, I think all Well said
17:50
Speaker 2: that the purpose of propaganda is to get one bunch
17:52
Speaker 2: of humans to stop seeing the humanity of another bunch
17:56
Speaker 2: of humans are completely butchered. That It's not a tyret quote, right,
17:59
Speaker 2: but it was along those lines. And that's exactly what
18:01
Speaker 2: we're seeing here. So these aren't people, these are far
18:04
Speaker 2: right fascists, or these aren't people, these are left wing
18:08
Speaker 2: Islama files, you know, like whatever whatever the term might be.
18:13
Speaker 2: And uh, what else do we see over the weekend?
18:17
Speaker 2: So this remarkable, absolutely remarkable site of Zach Polanski there
18:21
Speaker 2: dancing with a bunch of male go go dancers and
18:25
Speaker 2: then handed the span of the new MP for Gordon
18:27
Speaker 2: and Denton. You can see there just next to him,
18:31
Speaker 2: and I've got to say, I bet kids Starmer was
18:33
Speaker 2: really jealous, jealous about this. I'd imagine star While I'd
18:37
Speaker 2: imagine that he's probably got a few pals who do
18:41
Speaker 2: the moves like the fella there in the skimpy outfit.
18:45
Speaker 2: I bet Starmer would have loved this, but not really
18:47
Speaker 2: very labor party. Unfortunately, you missed. You came at the
18:51
Speaker 2: wrong time here, I'm afraid to say. So, there's a
18:54
Speaker 2: lot of this stuff going on, a lot of backing
18:56
Speaker 2: from musicians and the whole kind of lovely crowd that
18:59
Speaker 2: you might expect, and a fairly reasonable turnout. So actually
19:03
Speaker 2: they only got half a million people. They're saying half
19:06
Speaker 2: a million. They're claiming half a million, and considering the
19:09
Speaker 2: fact that this has been Indie offering for six months,
19:14
Speaker 2: they've had six months run at this, and they've had
19:16
Speaker 2: full backing from all of the organizations you can see.
19:18
Speaker 2: They're the unions celebrities. This is essentially the establishment's official
19:25
Speaker 2: countermarks to the awful far right. I don't think that
19:30
Speaker 2: they pulled a particularly big crowd, to be honest with you. Now,
19:35
Speaker 2: the organizations involved, as we talked about, we've got a
19:38
Speaker 2: few here, Stop the War Coalition, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament,
19:41
Speaker 2: a lot of sort of nineteen eighty throwback organizations that
19:44
Speaker 2: you can see here. They're really telling thing about this
19:47
Speaker 2: still image for me is the fact that that UN
19:49
Speaker 2: flag is right at the top, and so the UN
19:52
Speaker 2: they view as the absolute pinnacle that should be driving
19:57
Speaker 2: policy internationally. And we'll talk more that as we go
20:00
Speaker 2: through the show. But we can also see here that
20:03
Speaker 2: this is absolutely a Palestine aligned march, and for that
20:11
Speaker 2: very reason, there were certain people in London who were
20:14
Speaker 2: feeling very threatened and very left out by all of this.
20:17
Speaker 2: Let's have a little listen to Keith Black, the chair
20:19
Speaker 2: of the Jewish Leadership Council, talking to gb News.
20:24
Speaker 9: What do you think this has to say about this
20:27
Speaker 9: particular march, So they don't seem all that open towards
20:31
Speaker 9: Jewish groups.
20:33
Speaker 11: Yeah, well it's extraordinary, isn't it. The Together Alliance? Well,
20:38
Speaker 11: who is in this Together Alliance? I certainly haven't had
20:40
Speaker 11: a call to join it. Nobody's been on the phone
20:43
Speaker 11: to move to say please come along. And I think
20:46
Speaker 11: we know why that is because it's not a Together Alliance.
20:49
Speaker 11: It billed as an anti far right alliance, but that's
20:53
Speaker 11: just a disguise, that's a cloak. This is a Islamic
20:58
Speaker 11: I'm afraid, and a left wing march that is against
21:03
Speaker 11: Jewish life. And we've seen this for two and a
21:06
Speaker 11: half years now, regular protests through our streets, screaming Jew hatred,
21:15
Speaker 11: talking about globalizing, the Interfada, calling for the extinction of Israel,
21:22
Speaker 11: so there's no real wonder why they haven't called us.
21:27
Speaker 13: Now, obviously there's one group of people that have suffered
21:30
Speaker 13: most at the hands of the far right throughout history,
21:34
Speaker 13: and that group is obviously Jews.
21:37
Speaker 14: So you would have thought the first people anyone organizing
21:40
Speaker 14: a march against the far right would call is Jewish organizations.
21:46
Speaker 11: Yes, well, we've been involved in those battles for decades
21:50
Speaker 11: against the far right, and we've fought them back famously
21:54
Speaker 11: at Cable Street in the thirties and beyond. Those battles
21:59
Speaker 11: have been one and been thought. But this isn't about
22:02
Speaker 11: really the far right. This is a much broader coalition
22:08
Speaker 11: of people who have got a much deeper agenda, I'm afraid,
22:12
Speaker 11: and it's very demoralizing for Jewish people when we see
22:17
Speaker 11: this happening, and in particularly we're going to see this alliance,
22:20
Speaker 11: this march take place really close to one of our
22:24
Speaker 11: main synagogues in the center of London, and it is
22:28
Speaker 11: likely that Jews will not be able to pray in
22:31
Speaker 11: that synagogue on Tomorrow morning because there will just be
22:36
Speaker 11: too much intimidation.
22:40
Speaker 2: What do you hate?
22:42
Speaker 1: It's quite incredible. Bear in my mind goes back to
22:45
Speaker 1: the really really large Palestine demonstration. Mike Robinson myself went
22:50
Speaker 1: up to.
22:50
Speaker 2: London and that's the first time I met you.
22:53
Speaker 1: Indeed, that was about two and a half thousand people
22:56
Speaker 1: in Trafalgar Square, all for Palestine, many many Muslims, and
23:04
Speaker 1: in the middle, in the middle of Trafalgar Square was
23:09
Speaker 1: a group of Jewish people, Jews from Jews for Peace.
23:14
Speaker 1: And when I said to them, do you feel threatened?
23:16
Speaker 1: They said no, everybody around us has been lovely, And
23:20
Speaker 1: we then had a discussion with them. We took some
23:23
Speaker 1: audio surrounded by the people that this man would have
23:28
Speaker 1: us believe or out to kill Jews. It's complete nonsense.
23:33
Speaker 1: But the narrative and gb News here helping this twisted
23:37
Speaker 1: narrative to come across ye, right, amazing.
23:40
Speaker 2: I mean he could I'm sure that he didn't write
23:43
Speaker 2: those questions, but if he had written the questions they could.
23:46
Speaker 2: It couldn't have been any better, really, could they? And
23:48
Speaker 2: also there were loads of Jews on the march, right,
23:51
Speaker 2: so this was actually from the official social media count
23:56
Speaker 2: of the Together March. And also there's a life of
23:58
Speaker 2: Jewish organizations organizing this thing. So I'm afraid mister Black
24:03
Speaker 2: from the Jewish Leadership Council. You need to extend your
24:06
Speaker 2: networks into the Jewish community a little bit more effectively
24:09
Speaker 2: than you have been doing. Because I can skip down
24:11
Speaker 2: here a little bit. Well, first of all, we come
24:13
Speaker 2: to a load of love. Is Lenny Henry, Sir Lennie Henry.
24:17
Speaker 2: He's suffered because of racism, hasn't they? Sir Lenni Henry,
24:20
Speaker 2: the multi millionaire. He's been on the BBC for my
24:23
Speaker 2: entire life, must have been really difficult. Who else will
24:27
Speaker 2: we got? There's a bunch of stuff messaging about how
24:30
Speaker 2: compassionate and wonderful everyone behind this thing is. But then
24:33
Speaker 2: if we come down to here and look at the
24:36
Speaker 2: organizations involved, the one that really caught my eye is
24:38
Speaker 2: this one. It's an organization called Choose Love. And I
24:43
Speaker 2: came across this because of some reporting by Vanessa Bilian
24:46
Speaker 2: David Miller recently for Palistine d Classified, which basically highlights
24:50
Speaker 2: the fact that Chew's Love is working with Zionist organizations
24:57
Speaker 2: in Israel. It's helped to coordinate regime regime change operations
25:03
Speaker 2: in Syria via the White Helmets, who we've reported on
25:05
Speaker 2: extensive extensively previously over the years, going back to about
25:10
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen twenty sixteen, if I remember correctly, and choose
25:15
Speaker 2: Love receives funding from Open Societies Foundation, the New Israel Fund,
25:22
Speaker 2: and organizations like the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, which is quite
25:28
Speaker 2: notoriously essentially a CIA slash fund, is passing money through.
25:32
Speaker 2: So all of these organizations are Zionist. Chees Love is
25:35
Speaker 2: basically aligned to and back by Zionist organizations. They're helping
25:38
Speaker 2: to coordinate this march, So it would seem that not
25:41
Speaker 2: only a Jew safety go on the march, there's also
25:43
Speaker 2: people of that background who helping to coordinate it and
25:48
Speaker 2: also develop a lot of the key messaging because that
25:50
Speaker 2: chews Love things absolutely everywhere, right. And we've talked about
25:54
Speaker 2: this a lot previously, this divide and rule, how he
25:57
Speaker 2: gets pushed down into society through the media, through our culture,
26:02
Speaker 2: and this is just another example of the same thing
26:05
Speaker 2: happening again. I spoke probably about eighteen months, maybe even
26:09
Speaker 2: two years ago about George Soros's role in helping to
26:13
Speaker 2: create Paul Marshall from GBN News, especially how Paul Marshall
26:17
Speaker 2: made a bunch of his money originally through his hedge front.
26:20
Speaker 2: Marshall Waste is because George Soros gave him twenty five
26:23
Speaker 2: million dollars to become a money manager for him. So
26:28
Speaker 2: essentially he has created Marshall and GBN News in that
26:31
Speaker 2: entire network, including the short clip there that we just
26:35
Speaker 2: watched with the gentleman from the Jewish Leadership Council. Well
26:39
Speaker 2: at the same time putting money via Open Society foundations
26:42
Speaker 2: into left wing organizations like Jews Love, which is people
26:46
Speaker 2: like miss Anna Harriman on its board, which then creates
26:50
Speaker 2: this chaos in society because you have these two polar
26:56
Speaker 2: opposites that are positioned against each other, have a political
27:03
Speaker 2: apparatus around them, have street game through these protests and
27:07
Speaker 2: things that are not even the coordinated stuff like these
27:11
Speaker 2: ongoing protests that are happening around the country on a
27:14
Speaker 2: weekly basis, and that drives us into a state of
27:19
Speaker 2: chaos and makes it easier to control, and it's all
27:21
Speaker 2: coordinated at the very top level. We can get that
27:23
Speaker 2: back on screen by people like George Soros, And what
27:26
Speaker 2: was saying, it's just georgs Soros. I'm just pointing out
27:28
Speaker 2: that in this instance that this is absolutely applicable. Another
27:33
Speaker 2: example of this, without wanting to label the point too much.
27:35
Speaker 2: This is essentially what we're seeing here play out. Is
27:37
Speaker 2: it something else that I reported on back in twenty
27:40
Speaker 2: twenty four, So this was eighteen months ago in October
27:42
Speaker 2: twenty four. We'll provide links you can go and look
27:44
Speaker 2: at these reports from back then. And this was Daniel
27:47
Speaker 2: Sachs speaking at a Global Progress action in Canada. SAX
27:52
Speaker 2: is the Open Society Foundation investment chief, so he actually
27:55
Speaker 2: directs funding four open societies for the Soros family, and
27:59
Speaker 2: he's talking about these two competing energy fields, a tug
28:02
Speaker 2: of war between two main drivers of political engagement. One
28:07
Speaker 2: is the rising support of authoritarianism what we could think
28:10
Speaker 2: of as the right, and the other is the mobilization
28:13
Speaker 2: of young voters, especially young women, in protection of the
28:16
Speaker 2: fundamental values of democracy, and we can think about that
28:18
Speaker 2: as left. And this has been constructed, and he was
28:22
Speaker 2: talking about this for quite some time before that speech,
28:24
Speaker 2: this idea that there's an ideology gap opening up between
28:27
Speaker 2: young men and women in countries across the world. But
28:30
Speaker 2: the most important thing about this to understand is that
28:33
Speaker 2: it's deliberate. This has been constructed. And I'll put another
28:37
Speaker 2: link to this substack article especially points out the increase
28:43
Speaker 2: in divisive terminology coming from titles like The New York
28:47
Speaker 2: Times and The Washington Post overpred about ten and fifty years.
28:50
Speaker 2: So this increase in the use of terms like patriarchy,
28:53
Speaker 2: gender discrimination, sexist, sexism, white supremacy, it's been a huge
28:57
Speaker 2: uptick those in since twenty which, ultimately I believe is
29:02
Speaker 2: this smoking gun to prove that this whole thing is
29:04
Speaker 2: essentially a manufactured crisis. That's what we're looking out here
29:09
Speaker 2: playing out on the streets of the UK. And what's
29:11
Speaker 2: that leading us towards. So well, we've got the organizations
29:16
Speaker 2: and the events happening on the right hand side, so
29:19
Speaker 2: Unite the Kingdom and all the other political figures I
29:21
Speaker 2: talked about at the start of the report. You've got
29:23
Speaker 2: the left wing on the left hand side, Together Alliance
29:25
Speaker 2: and all the people associated with that. And then you've
29:28
Speaker 2: also got in the midst of this this thing which
29:30
Speaker 2: I spoke about about a month ago, which is the
29:32
Speaker 2: Together Coalition founded in twenty nineteen by Justin Welby, former
29:39
Speaker 2: Archbishop of Canterbury, had to resign because he was protecting pedophiles,
29:42
Speaker 2: and Brendan Cox, who's a World Economic Forum young global
29:45
Speaker 2: leader and that's overseen by this thing and the Independent
29:48
Speaker 2: Commission on Community and Cohesion, which itself is co chaired
29:51
Speaker 2: by Sadji Javid aka Savage jab Ed, who is the
29:55
Speaker 2: Health Minister, one of them during COVID, and John Cruddis, who,
29:58
Speaker 2: amongst other things I found out over the we again,
30:00
Speaker 2: was formerly a director of Home Not Hate Indeed. Yeah,
30:05
Speaker 2: so their strings go all the way up and this
30:07
Speaker 2: chaos is going to drive us into some kind of
30:10
Speaker 2: event something that they've got cooking around this together coalition
30:13
Speaker 2: and the Independent Commission on Community and Cohesion, and it's
30:18
Speaker 2: going to be a hot summer. I think we can
30:20
Speaker 2: put it like that.
30:21
Speaker 1: And of course people immediately say, well, if this is
30:23
Speaker 1: what is happening, this is what is being done, what
30:27
Speaker 1: do we do about it? And the simple answer to
30:30
Speaker 1: that is one exposed as we are doing at the moment.
30:34
Speaker 1: These organizations have got to be challenged everywhere as to
30:38
Speaker 1: what they're really standing for and what they're trying to
30:40
Speaker 1: achieve by divide and rule, and people have got to
30:44
Speaker 1: speak to each other. So don't take the label and
30:47
Speaker 1: the banner in the street, go up, approach speak to
30:50
Speaker 1: other people, because it's the link between humanity, which actually
30:55
Speaker 1: pulls down what these people are trying to do. We'll
30:58
Speaker 1: discuss this more in extra but this is a key point.
31:02
Speaker 1: So at the moment, every headline is about economic disaster,
31:07
Speaker 1: and of course a lot of this comes directly back
31:09
Speaker 1: to what's happening with the strangulation of oil in the
31:13
Speaker 1: Golf and what happens in the Straits and or most
31:18
Speaker 1: is going to have a huge impact on economic policy
31:24
Speaker 1: and prices here in UK. Paying one eighty five aleita
31:30
Speaker 1: for diesel at the pumps over the weekend, that's going
31:34
Speaker 1: to increase manufacturing costs go up. So we've got to
31:38
Speaker 1: stay focused also on what's happening in the golf and
31:41
Speaker 1: who is actually driving the war. So let's have a
31:45
Speaker 1: little listen to near the cat, the Israeli Minister for
31:51
Speaker 1: the Economy speaking, he was being interviewed by the BBC.
31:57
Speaker 13: You've said the US and Israel are aligned on this war?
32:00
Speaker 13: Are you aligned on this proposal?
32:03
Speaker 7: You're gonna you know, let's leave it vague, but one thing,
32:07
Speaker 7: it's very very clear the Americans and Israelis Prime Minister
32:11
Speaker 7: Nathaniel and President Trump are aligned with accomplishing those goals.
32:16
Speaker 13: So Israel had a hand in drawing up this deal.
32:23
Speaker 13: So from what you've said, you know that you're very
32:26
Speaker 13: unlikely to get this deal from Iran.
32:29
Speaker 7: Unfortunately, I probably agree with you.
32:30
Speaker 13: Iran seems to be gaining some leverage in this war.
32:34
Speaker 7: I think it's exactly the opposite. I think the world
32:36
Speaker 7: is recognizing who the bully is, who the threat is.
32:40
Speaker 13: So if Iran doesn't have any leverage, why did President
32:44
Speaker 13: Trump back away from his ultimatum on the straight of Hormos.
32:48
Speaker 7: Look, President Trump is a good negotiator, he knows how
32:51
Speaker 7: to negotiate. He's a businessman. Sew's NATANIAO and give them
32:55
Speaker 7: that leeway to get those objectives.
33:00
Speaker 1: Done. Interview was against the backdrop of Trump saying that
33:04
Speaker 1: he was going to seize carg Island, and the smirk
33:07
Speaker 1: from that gentleman was just incredible, because obviously Israel is
33:13
Speaker 1: key to ramping up what the Americans do under Trump,
33:18
Speaker 1: and it appears to be more and more the case
33:20
Speaker 1: that is Israel in control. The smirk to me said
33:24
Speaker 1: it all. He knew absolutely that Israel is not going
33:27
Speaker 1: to calm the situation down. They want the war and
33:31
Speaker 1: they want America to pay for it. Let's look at
33:34
Speaker 1: BBC reporting here. So this was the headline earlier this morning.
33:39
Speaker 1: Trump said he's considering seizing Iran's Carg Island, but a
33:43
Speaker 1: deal could be made very quickly. So the blackmail is
33:47
Speaker 1: to the Iranians that if you don't play the game,
33:51
Speaker 1: we are going to take control of Carg Island. And
33:54
Speaker 1: of course it's through Carg Island that Iran exports its oil,
34:00
Speaker 1: makes its money. But there's a lot that the BBC
34:03
Speaker 1: doesn't share here. So let's get into the background, and
34:07
Speaker 1: we need to go to this man. General. You have Gallant,
34:12
Speaker 1: former Defense Minister of Israel, and in his blog he
34:16
Speaker 1: says how to finish the job in Iran, So let's
34:20
Speaker 1: have a look at this. The key part is that
34:24
Speaker 1: he's saying, we do that by seizing and squeezing Around's
34:28
Speaker 1: choke point, and that is Carg Island. So this is
34:31
Speaker 1: some of the detail. When you face this level of
34:33
Speaker 1: operational complexity, you do not solve it by chasing every
34:37
Speaker 1: weapon system. You change the enemy's calculation. You must take
34:41
Speaker 1: from Iran something it cannot afford to lose. The first
34:46
Speaker 1: and most obvious target that meets that standard is Carg Island.
34:52
Speaker 1: The main terminal for close to ninety percent of Iran's
34:56
Speaker 1: crude oil exports. It's the economic backbone of the region,
35:00
Speaker 1: also critically the primary source of hard currency revenues for
35:03
Speaker 1: the military and security services, which control and sell a
35:07
Speaker 1: significant share of those exports. So this is the twist
35:11
Speaker 1: of the knife that apparently is Iran only sells oil
35:15
Speaker 1: to pay for military and the security services. Absolute nonsense,
35:19
Speaker 1: but this is the way the man thinks. And if
35:22
Speaker 1: we go on here, disrupting energy operations on Cargo Island
35:26
Speaker 1: is regarded by analysts as a doomsday scenario for Iran's economy,
35:30
Speaker 1: with far reaching consequences. Economic pressure on this scale would
35:35
Speaker 1: dramatically increase the likelihood of popular unrest. Iran's population has
35:40
Speaker 1: repeatedly demonstrated its willingness to take to the streets, and
35:44
Speaker 1: the demonstrations of January twenty twenty six were one of
35:48
Speaker 1: the most significant since the nineteen seventy nine revolution. So
35:52
Speaker 1: Israel absolutely after regime change here they do not want peace,
35:59
Speaker 1: even with the economic chaos it's causing for the rest
36:02
Speaker 1: of the world. And here he says something interesting. Yes,
36:05
Speaker 1: there are risks. Any operation to seize carg would require
36:09
Speaker 1: thousands of troops, sustained air and naval support, and detailed intelligence,
36:14
Speaker 1: and it will carry a real and expected cost in
36:17
Speaker 1: human life. Iran would also target every reachable energy facility
36:22
Speaker 1: across the Gulf, a campaign already underway. And of course,
36:26
Speaker 1: what this man does not say is that the lives
36:29
Speaker 1: lost will be US Marines, they will be American lives,
36:33
Speaker 1: and they will not be IDF forces. So unbelievably cynical.
36:39
Speaker 1: But here we see and we can understand the smirk
36:42
Speaker 1: of the Israeli Minister of Economy because it's clearly well
36:47
Speaker 1: known that the drive for this taking of Cargo Island
36:52
Speaker 1: is coming from within Israel and America, and the US
36:55
Speaker 1: Marines are just going to be the toys to carry
36:59
Speaker 1: it out. It's horrific stuff here, Ben, And I'll just
37:03
Speaker 1: remind people that it takes ourt to come up and
37:06
Speaker 1: remind people that back in the day, the US was
37:12
Speaker 1: working directly with terrorists in Syria on Israel's behalf. Washington
37:18
Speaker 1: colluded without Kaeda and isis in Syria to top or
37:23
Speaker 1: basha are Sad Joe Kent has said, has revealed. So
37:28
Speaker 1: this is very heavy stuff, and I'll just end here
37:31
Speaker 1: by saying that when you get into detail about what
37:35
Speaker 1: actually took place on the USS Gerald R Ford, the
37:40
Speaker 1: huge American aircraft carrier, had this headline highlights that the
37:45
Speaker 1: laundry fire was so bad the Navy had to strip
37:49
Speaker 1: a thousand mattresses from America's next aircraft carrier to replace them.
37:54
Speaker 1: If you don't understand the significance of this, or just
37:57
Speaker 1: bring in a bit more detail, the reality was one
38:00
Speaker 1: sailor injured, are now stable, but two hundred smoke inhalation casualties,
38:07
Speaker 1: and then we've got the thousand mattresses. And this detailed
38:11
Speaker 1: report from nineteen forty five, as the website's called, is
38:15
Speaker 1: also talking about major damage control effort. So this was
38:20
Speaker 1: a substantial fire on board the ship, and smoke damage
38:25
Speaker 1: in the confined spaces of a warship immensely dangerous not
38:29
Speaker 1: only to individuals, to people, but also to delicate equipment
38:35
Speaker 1: because the smoke can cause huge damage to computer based systems,
38:41
Speaker 1: aside from its carcinogenic effects on the sailors themselves. So,
38:46
Speaker 1: without doubt, things not going well for the Americans, and
38:50
Speaker 1: this was a big blow to the Gerald R four,
38:55
Speaker 1: notwithstanding it was not an Iranian attack. Well, let's move
39:01
Speaker 1: on and just remind people about UK Columns magazine, the Column,
39:07
Speaker 1: so that is going to be on its way to
39:09
Speaker 1: those who already ordered. If you haven't ordered one, have
39:12
Speaker 1: a look at the detail on the UK Column website
39:16
Speaker 1: and get your order in because this is a really
39:18
Speaker 1: fantastic magazine, a lot of information and so relevant and
39:24
Speaker 1: pertinent to what's happening around us today.
39:27
Speaker 10: Now.
39:27
Speaker 1: Also, we want to remind people that if you're not
39:31
Speaker 1: a member of UK Column, we need your financial support
39:34
Speaker 1: to not only keep going but to expand. So if
39:37
Speaker 1: you're listening to us and you haven't joined the community,
39:41
Speaker 1: please get onto the UK Column website and join us.
39:44
Speaker 1: That would be a big boost. This is the key
39:48
Speaker 1: announcement today. The tickets for our twentieth on location twentieth anniversary,
39:56
Speaker 1: which will be in Plymouth eighteen to the twentieth of September.
40:00
Speaker 1: I think it's will be available this coming Thursday, that's
40:03
Speaker 1: the second of April twenty twenty six. It's going to
40:06
Speaker 1: be a fantastic event. Members. You've all lasked us for
40:11
Speaker 1: a two day event, so this is why we're doing
40:14
Speaker 1: it over the weekend and it's going to be great.
40:16
Speaker 1: To be able to meet people here in our home

Speaker 1: base at Plymouth, and it's going to be really special.
40:23
Speaker 2: I can't wait.
40:25
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to be good.
40:27
Speaker 2: That's my mum's birthday as well. She'll be happy about that.
40:30
Speaker 1: Well, there you are, okay. Now, Coming up tonight at
40:34
Speaker 1: seven pm, we've got jerm Warfare Edition is China Expansionist.
40:40
Speaker 1: Tonight at nine pm, we've got Carl Zar Iran. It's
40:44
Speaker 1: decolonizing West Asia and the US Empire is crumbling in
40:49
Speaker 1: real time. Both those will be very interesting and coming
40:53
Speaker 1: out tomorrow at one pm we've got Mike Robinson's interview
40:58
Speaker 1: here with Cliff Kirakov, the latest crusade Christian Zionism, the
41:05
Speaker 1: Israel lobby and the war on Iran. So that's quite
41:10
Speaker 1: a package of information coming out. Ben and I think
41:13
Speaker 1: there are still many people who believe that UK column
41:17
Speaker 1: is a much much bigger team than it really is.
41:21
Speaker 1: So it is a credit to everybody who's part of
41:24
Speaker 1: that team. At the moment. There's so much information comes out,
41:28
Speaker 1: but please share it and spread the word. That's the
41:32
Speaker 1: excuse me, the key point of getting the information out there.
41:37
Speaker 1: Now let's turn to the subject to veterans. And this
41:41
Speaker 1: is one of interest to me because yes, I served,
41:45
Speaker 1: as they say, for twenty one years in the Royal Navy.
41:48
Speaker 1: And of course we've seen particularly the labor government. Well
41:53
Speaker 1: what's it been doing creeping up to the veterans? I think?
41:57
Speaker 1: But is there veterans strategies, something which is genuinely compassionate
42:03
Speaker 1: concerning the veterans, or is there another political agenda. Well
42:08
Speaker 1: before we just answer that question, let's have a look
42:11
Speaker 1: at their little promo video, which I have to say
42:16
Speaker 1: did make me WinCE.
42:19
Speaker 15: If you've served this country, you deserve support that works
42:22
Speaker 15: for you. That's why I'm so pleased to announce the
42:24
Speaker 15: first network of government funded veterans centers across the UK.
42:29
Speaker 15: This is part of our fifty million pound Valor program
42:32
Speaker 15: designed to make it easier for our veterans to get
42:34
Speaker 15: the care and support they need. We're investing over thirteen
42:38
Speaker 15: million pounds into fourteen existing veterans centers across the UK,
42:42
Speaker 15: giving them up to one million pounds each. They'll provide
42:46
Speaker 15: in person support for veterans in their area, connecting people
42:49
Speaker 15: with specialist support across health, housing, employment and more. Valo
42:54
Speaker 15: has got several parts recognized centers like these where veterans
42:57
Speaker 15: can access multiple services in one place, and they'll also
43:01
Speaker 15: be sport available online and through dedicated case managers for.
43:04
Speaker 13: Those who can't get to a center.
43:06
Speaker 15: VALOR Field officers will be on the ground building real
43:09
Speaker 15: connections between local charities, councils and other service providers, and
43:14
Speaker 15: VALOR HQ based in the Office for Veterans Affairs will
43:17
Speaker 15: work to bring the whole system together. VALA isn't about
43:21
Speaker 15: replacing the incredible work that charities, councils and other services
43:24
Speaker 15: already do. It's about making sure that work is joined
43:27
Speaker 15: up and feeds into what we're doing at a national level.
43:31
Speaker 15: This is part of our ten year Veterans strategy. This
43:34
Speaker 15: is about renewing the contract with those who've served, investing
43:37
Speaker 15: in them and giving them the tools they need to thrive.
43:47
Speaker 1: So there we are VALOR. This didn't fill me with enthusiasm,
43:51
Speaker 1: but I was curious as to why the government is
43:53
Speaker 1: putting so much effort into the veterans. This is part
43:57
Speaker 1: of the strategy dot org.
44:00
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
44:00
Speaker 1: The web page from gov dot UK so lots of
44:04
Speaker 1: emotive articles all about the veterans and the Office for
44:08
Speaker 1: Veterans Affairs. But in their document there was this graphic
44:13
Speaker 1: that caught my attention. I immediately thought, of you, Ben,
44:17
Speaker 1: we've got a pyramid here, ministerial oversight at the top.
44:22
Speaker 1: The next layer is UK cross government coordination, so this
44:25
Speaker 1: is embedded across government, and then it's got a cross
44:30
Speaker 1: sector coordinated delivery. So I just thought to myself, we've
44:34
Speaker 1: got a blatant pyramid of power control. This is a
44:38
Speaker 1: classic pyramid structure. And to answer the question for our
44:42
Speaker 1: viewers today why the government is so keen on the veterans,
44:46
Speaker 1: the simple answer is because there are some two hundred
44:49
Speaker 1: million and the government must get control of them.
44:53
Speaker 2: Two million.
44:55
Speaker 1: Sorry what did I say?
44:56
Speaker 3: Million?
44:57
Speaker 1: Well, what a shame there isn't thank you for that
45:01
Speaker 1: little slip. Then there are some two million veterans in UK.
45:05
Speaker 1: The government must get control of them to destroy their
45:09
Speaker 1: potentially decisive nationalist vote. And by using the word nationalist,
45:14
Speaker 1: I'm not saying extreme right wing because overwhelmingly these people aren't.
45:19
Speaker 1: But they are a cohesive group of people that if
45:22
Speaker 1: they were to act together to take the lid off
45:25
Speaker 1: what's being done as we're describing in this news, they
45:29
Speaker 1: would be a force to reckon with so absolutely. So
45:34
Speaker 1: what's happening is the government is getting amongst them in
45:38
Speaker 1: order to control them and make sure they're corralled into
45:41
Speaker 1: an appropriate direction. Now, if we had a bit of
45:45
Speaker 1: linkage with your segment earlier in the News, Ben where
45:49
Speaker 1: you were talking about Jeremy Corbyn, let's just have a
45:52
Speaker 1: little listen to this interview with Jeremy Corbin where he
45:57
Speaker 1: says some extremely interesting things.
46:00
Speaker 10: Listen, so, Bernie Sanders was very close to the presidency. You,
46:05
Speaker 10: of course, we know what happened. You were very close
46:08
Speaker 10: to being Prime Minister. It does seem like there is
46:11
Speaker 10: limitations within the confines of the Democratic Party, obviously the
46:14
Speaker 10: Labor Party. It's amazing that you left and that you
46:17
Speaker 10: started your own left party. We see what the Democratic
46:20
Speaker 10: Party is doing. Tomandani in New York, what is your
46:24
Speaker 10: message to people outside of electoralism. Of course it's important,
46:27
Speaker 10: but clearly not the only path.
46:31
Speaker 14: Politics comes from lots of things, but basically it comes
46:35
Speaker 14: from the power of community and the power of organization
46:38
Speaker 14: of workers in their own communities. And what I was
46:42
Speaker 14: trying to do as leaders the Labor Party was to
46:46
Speaker 14: turn the Labor Party into a community organizing machine, and
46:50
Speaker 14: I appointed community organizers and started down that road. It
46:54
Speaker 14: was the greatest opposition I got to anything within the
46:58
Speaker 14: Labor Party hierarchy community organizing, because they felt threatened by it.
47:03
Speaker 14: The other greatest opposition I got from the establishment was
47:08
Speaker 14: essentially my world and global view, because what they did
47:13
Speaker 14: not want was somebody like me on the UN Security
47:18
Speaker 14: Council expressing my view that the occupation of Palestine has
47:24
Speaker 14: to end, for example, that nuclear weapons are an abomination
47:29
Speaker 14: of the highest possible order, and if we want to
47:32
Speaker 14: live in a peaceful world, we should stop spending two
47:35
Speaker 14: and a half trillion dollars a year on arms and
47:38
Speaker 14: start converting over to a different process.
47:44
Speaker 1: Well, I hope our viewers and listeners were actually listening
47:48
Speaker 1: carefully to what Jeremy Corbyn said, because he really gave
47:54
Speaker 1: some significant information. He was trying to get in amongst
47:58
Speaker 1: the community. He was to get in amongst the workers
48:03
Speaker 1: in order to get his labor policies embedded in society,
48:08
Speaker 1: and he was going to use community organizers to do that.
48:12
Speaker 1: Then he says, well, the hierarchy of the party didn't
48:17
Speaker 1: like that, but of course they would have liked it
48:20
Speaker 1: if they were in control of the agenda that was
48:23
Speaker 1: going to be injected into the community layers, and that
48:27
Speaker 1: was the key problem. Plus he was against war, and
48:31
Speaker 1: as we can see, excuse me from today's news, you
48:35
Speaker 1: have to be pro war in order to be part
48:38
Speaker 1: of the global elite, because that's how their political agenda operates.
48:43
Speaker 1: So I found it fascinating ben to hear what he
48:47
Speaker 1: said then, and I also remembered, of course that that
48:51
Speaker 1: was labor. But we had previously David Cameron with big Society.
48:56
Speaker 2: Doing his community organizing things using communist principles. People find
49:00
Speaker 2: really difficult to understand now. I think that I think
49:03
Speaker 2: what that whole thing revealed is that Corbyn is actually
49:06
Speaker 2: fundamentally a decent guy, I think, but naive and and
49:13
Speaker 2: actually he the direction of travel that he's going down.
49:18
Speaker 2: He used the term his global worldview, this kind of
49:20
Speaker 2: internationalist thing, this drive towards a single global superstate coordinated
49:26
Speaker 2: out of the UN. He's just as much globalism as
49:29
Speaker 2: the World Economic Forum, stitching up all international economic activity
49:35
Speaker 2: and industrial output into a tiny group of multinationals, basically
49:39
Speaker 2: just the other side of the coin. And what I've noticed,
49:44
Speaker 2: particularly over the past month or two is these left
49:48
Speaker 2: wing voices are being pushed more and more by the
49:51
Speaker 2: establishment and into the mainstream like Corbyn and plan skis
49:54
Speaker 2: that actually they're not operating at a national level. They
49:57
Speaker 2: don't think at a national level, they don't coordinate national level.
50:00
Speaker 2: They are working internationally. And I don't think that most
50:04
Speaker 2: people in the UK, where we're on the left or
50:07
Speaker 2: the right, really understand the extent to which that is
50:10
Speaker 2: the case. So over the weekend I bought a newspaper.
50:15
Speaker 2: Do you remember those? I do, yes, And this one.
50:18
Speaker 1: Used to be a very good one called the UK Column.
50:20
Speaker 2: Actually right, okay, I've heard of that. Yeah, maybe they'll
50:24
Speaker 2: fire it up again at some point, who knows. But anyway,
50:26
Speaker 2: I bought this one because it was the one available,
50:28
Speaker 2: and it is the Morning Star, and it is very socialist,
50:31
Speaker 2: probably communists, or they don't like to use that word.
50:34
Speaker 2: And they talk about on the front ear this new
50:36
Speaker 2: alliance marching in London today which avows unity against the
50:40
Speaker 2: far right hatred, which is what we talked about in
50:42
Speaker 2: the report earlier, and it's talking about that that exact march.
50:47
Speaker 2: That's what they're referring to in this alliance, which is
50:50
Speaker 2: this lot most notably in this image and this is
50:53
Speaker 2: from the video I showed in the protest earlier, Colbyn
50:56
Speaker 2: and Polanski and various associated others. But these who are
51:00
Speaker 2: absolutely front and center in this new coalition that is
51:03
Speaker 2: forming against the far right, and it is a global coalition, right,
51:07
Speaker 2: these two, they're having a bit of a bromance at
51:09
Speaker 2: the moment, Polanski and Corbin standing in solidarity with each other,
51:15
Speaker 2: fellow travelers on the journey towards socialist utopias in all
51:20
Speaker 2: terms that you know, get banded around, and they've been
51:23
Speaker 2: hanging around a lot on the March, but also at
51:25
Speaker 2: this event which happened a couple of weeks ago at
51:27
Speaker 2: the Troxy in East London, which was hosted by Yannis Arrifacis.
51:33
Speaker 2: You can see on the left hand side there, who
51:35
Speaker 2: was actually on the News UK column News we used
51:38
Speaker 2: a clip I think Basil used a clip of him
51:40
Speaker 2: talking about Palentier and he's absolutely on the money about
51:43
Speaker 2: certain issues. So on Palenteer, I believe that Fara Facus
51:46
Speaker 2: and I would probably be very well aligned, and he's
51:50
Speaker 2: leading this thing, this talk here. Resistance is existence with Corbyn,
51:55
Speaker 2: Polanski and Grace Blakeley, who is a liberal progressive commentation,
52:00
Speaker 2: and it's all been done under the auspices of this
52:03
Speaker 2: thing DM twenty five, which is a pan European political
52:08
Speaker 2: party established in twenty sixteen by Yannis faru Frakis. And
52:13
Speaker 2: to cut a long story short, because there's a lot
52:16
Speaker 2: about this and it's been around for over ten years now,
52:19
Speaker 2: Essentially this is a neo Marxist type organization. They talk
52:23
Speaker 2: about this idea of democratization. Europe will be democratized once
52:26
Speaker 2: the oligarchy is overthrown. So we're going to tear down
52:30
Speaker 2: the oligarchy, which essentially is capitalism, and replace it with
52:33
Speaker 2: something that is democratized, that is essentially communism, communitarianism, this
52:39
Speaker 2: whole thing that's been progressed by the liberal left of
52:41
Speaker 2: the moment, and they are very active, very busy, quite
52:47
Speaker 2: over bose, as you'd expect from a bunch of lefties.
52:50
Speaker 2: They've got a cultural policy which includes a separate organization
52:54
Speaker 2: called Meta CPC the Culture of Post Capitalism, where they've
53:00
Speaker 2: promoting culture which they describe as critical and challenging. So
53:04
Speaker 2: this is this kind of cultural Marxism idea, the idea
53:07
Speaker 2: that culture should be critical and challenging. It shouldn't be
53:12
Speaker 2: creative and constructive for example, you know, it has to
53:17
Speaker 2: tear things down, not build things up. That's really an
53:20
Speaker 2: important part of this. And they've also got a security
53:24
Speaker 2: policy which essentially amounts to global peace being enforced by
53:28
Speaker 2: the United Nations, the UN, which is controlled by the oligarchy.
53:35
Speaker 2: And this is the problem with a lot of the
53:37
Speaker 2: policies that they're putting across here. In their economic policy,
53:40
Speaker 2: they talk about having a universal basic income and having
53:44
Speaker 2: all economic activity mediated via a central bank, a global
53:48
Speaker 2: central bank, again, which is oligarch policy. And this is
53:52
Speaker 2: the issue that a lot of socialists don't seem to understand,
53:55
Speaker 2: is that they're driving towards things which the people that
53:58
Speaker 2: they're supposedly fighting against want to happen to. So centralization
54:03
Speaker 2: of all financial activity under the Bank of International Settlements
54:08
Speaker 2: or DM twenty five are asking for basically that outcome.
54:12
Speaker 2: If you don't think that the oligarchy like the UN,
54:14
Speaker 2: you don't know anything about the UN because it's completely
54:17
Speaker 2: controlled by global oligarchs through charitable supposedly charitable foundations like
54:23
Speaker 2: the Rockefeller Foundation, the Gates Foundation, whatever it might be.
54:27
Speaker 2: That's how the UN is controlled, and it has been
54:29
Speaker 2: for at least thirty years, and actually, if you go
54:32
Speaker 2: back even to its formulation, it was established with the
54:35
Speaker 2: full backing of the Rockefeller family. The Council on Foreign
54:37
Speaker 2: Relations are involved all that kind of thing, right. So
54:40
Speaker 2: the idea that the UN is the solution to the
54:42
Speaker 2: problems that we face, I think is a bit far fetched.
54:44
Speaker 2: And the big thing that they're really pushing is this,
54:46
Speaker 2: which is this Green New Deal. They want to completely
54:49
Speaker 2: transform the economic system. We need change. The planet's burning.
54:54
Speaker 2: Friday's for future there, that's Gretthamberg's thing. The people want change,
55:00
Speaker 2: have the solutions. It's good the green collar jobs here
55:04
Speaker 2: at that term, the Green New Deal, green homes, green income.
55:09
Speaker 2: This is the deal. This is what we're progressing. And
55:11
Speaker 2: if you listen to Zach Polanski's economic speech which he
55:15
Speaker 2: gave it the New Economic Foundation last week week before,
55:18
Speaker 2: in fact, essentially what they're talking about doing is taking
55:22
Speaker 2: out a load of debt, going to the bond markets,
55:25
Speaker 2: and then using that to buy technology from international corporations
55:28
Speaker 2: who aren't based in this country and to move us
55:34
Speaker 2: towards this new technological paradigm. It's completely electrified, built on
55:39
Speaker 2: supposedly sustainable technologies, which is nothing of the sort and
55:44
Speaker 2: is actually the ultimate agenda of the oligarchy in the
55:47
Speaker 2: United Nations and what have you. In this democracy. Supposed
55:53
Speaker 2: socialism is the vehicle through which a lot of this
55:56
Speaker 2: is being progressed. We'll talk about this a lot more,
55:58
Speaker 2: because this is absolutely crucial. This is, as I say,
56:01
Speaker 2: the direction of travel for particularly young people, right, and
56:04
Speaker 2: this is what they're pushing through the schools and through
56:07
Speaker 2: the culture. And it's not just at a European level,
56:09
Speaker 2: it's happening at a global level well as well, not
56:13
Speaker 2: least through this organization, Progressive International, which was founded in
56:16
Speaker 2: twenty twenty and was originally backed by Ernie Sanders. And
56:21
Speaker 2: we've got a little mention in your clip that you
56:23
Speaker 2: show there of Corbyn which we didn't prepare earlier.
56:26
Speaker 16: So there was a nice coming together at the story.
56:29
Speaker 16: It's there exactly and thank you very much for that.
56:33
Speaker 16: So while all eyes focus on the horrors of the wars,
56:37
Speaker 16: whether it's Ukraine or against Iran, this is what is
56:42
Speaker 16: manipulating policy in this country, and it's lifting the stones,
56:47
Speaker 16: identifying it for what it is and calling it out
56:49
Speaker 16: that makes the difference. So you can do something about it,
56:54
Speaker 16: but it requires a lot of people to act. Are
56:57
Speaker 16: just going to end the ridge today of Iran with
57:02
Speaker 16: the fact that clearly the BBC has a problem because
57:05
Speaker 16: all is not going well for Israel. Wall Street Journal
57:09
Speaker 16: here with a pretty potent headline, Israel is rationing its
57:13
Speaker 16: best interceptors and Iran's missiles are getting through, so there's
57:18
Speaker 16: no misunderstanding what's going on there. And basically the Israelis
57:24
Speaker 16: have had to ration their high end missile interceptors. But
57:29
Speaker 16: there's a.
57:30
Speaker 1: Daily Iranian barrage which is coming through. So the Wall
57:35
Speaker 1: Street Journal saying it absolutely black and white. I've put
57:39
Speaker 1: it in red for you, daily Iranian barrages that haven't
57:42
Speaker 1: let up through four weeks of war. So the Iranians
57:48
Speaker 1: are clearly still operating and those missiles are flying. Now
57:53
Speaker 1: we bring on screen this little box. You won't be
57:56
Speaker 1: able to read it. What is this, Well, we'll expand
57:58
Speaker 1: it because it's the Ministry Defense is Propaganda Site Defense HQ.
58:04
Speaker 1: And what it's talking about here is that Royal Navy,
58:07
Speaker 1: British Army and Royal Air Force personnel working quotes seamlessly
58:12
Speaker 1: together to deliver integrated air defense in the Middle East. Well,
58:17
Speaker 1: they might be producing integrated air defense in the Middle East,
58:20
Speaker 1: but clearly that air defense is not working because even
58:24
Speaker 1: the BBC is now having to report the hits on
58:29
Speaker 1: Israel and in Deep Today there are two little video
58:33
Speaker 1: clips on the BBC website showing two of those hits.
58:38
Speaker 1: So basically it's clear that Iran has not been beaten
58:42
Speaker 1: despite Trump's rhetoric, and he is under pressure himself. I've
58:49
Speaker 1: gone to the Kiev Post here a fact check, and
58:53
Speaker 1: not a very good fact check, but he gives us
58:55
Speaker 1: something to talk about because they're unhappy that Trump has
59:00
Speaker 1: said that Ukraine is the cause of US ammunition shortages
59:04
Speaker 1: with respect of Iran, so they've decided to see if
59:08
Speaker 1: he's telling the truth. They ultimately say he isn't, but
59:12
Speaker 1: they do provide some good statistics, and essentially here it
59:17
Speaker 1: says that the United States probably transferred to Ukraine somewhere
59:21
Speaker 1: between five hundred and eight hundred patriots, that's between twenty
59:25
Speaker 1: twenty two and twenty twenty four, and that Lockheed Martin
59:30
Speaker 1: produces about five hundred and fifty six fifty new missiles
59:35
Speaker 1: every year, not just for Ukraine but for all customers.
59:40
Speaker 1: And then if we go on through the article a
59:43
Speaker 1: bit more. It points out that the number of patriots
59:47
Speaker 1: launched against an incoming Iranian attack can range between eight
59:53
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve hundred missiles. Now I don't believe this
59:56
Speaker 1: figure because it seems to be very very high to me,
59:59
Speaker 1: but in any case, what they're saying is that roughly
1:00:02
Speaker 1: twice the number of interceptor missiles to deliver delivered to
1:00:06
Speaker 1: Ukraine over four years has been expended by the US
1:00:10
Speaker 1: and its allies in less than a month. So make
1:00:14
Speaker 1: of that what you will. What is clear is that
1:00:17
Speaker 1: Iran is still very much fighting, despite the claims of
1:00:21
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and despite action by British military, and of
1:00:26
Speaker 1: course we've got Israel in the background wanting to ramp
1:00:29
Speaker 1: up the violence because it's taking the hits, and the
1:00:33
Speaker 1: people who are going to suffer, aside from the Iranians
1:00:36
Speaker 1: and Israelis themselves, are people who are going to suffer
1:00:40
Speaker 1: through what's the word reduction in global economy. So troubled times,
1:00:49
Speaker 1: but clear that things in the Middle East absolutely not
1:00:53
Speaker 1: as being claimed by Donald Trump and Keir Starmer. So
1:00:57
Speaker 1: we'll bend with the BBC, which I've quite rightly been
1:01:01
Speaker 1: attacking here in today's news for their appalling journalism and reporting,
1:01:06
Speaker 1: but we can see some more devious things happening behind
1:01:10
Speaker 1: the scenes.
1:01:11
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, a little bit. Yes, We're going to
1:01:13
Speaker 2: just touch on something that Basil brought up on Friday,
1:01:17
Speaker 2: which is that Matt Britain has been selected as the
1:01:20
Speaker 2: next BBC Director General and this is a really important appointment.
1:01:26
Speaker 2: I think he is British thankfully. He was made a
1:01:32
Speaker 2: CB two months ago as as very much company man,
1:01:35
Speaker 2: part of the furniture in the top levels of the establishment.
1:01:38
Speaker 2: But he ran Google in Europe for basically fifteen years, right,
1:01:43
Speaker 2: so when Google was in its big expansion mode and
1:01:47
Speaker 2: driving a huge transformation of not just the European economy
1:01:52
Speaker 2: but the global economy. He was responsible for the European
1:01:55
Speaker 2: component of it through digitization, the introduction of new platforms
1:02:00
Speaker 2: like their search business and YouTube and whatnot. He was
1:02:04
Speaker 2: in the driving seat for probably the most important market
1:02:08
Speaker 2: in that period outside of the US, right, so this
1:02:11
Speaker 2: is absolutely a big tech guy. He would have been
1:02:14
Speaker 2: in charge through COVID. He would have been there when
1:02:17
Speaker 2: they set up the Trusted News Initiative, which was their
1:02:20
Speaker 2: whole censorship program, working alongside the BBC and Telegraph and
1:02:27
Speaker 2: CNN and what have you. He would have been overseeing
1:02:31
Speaker 2: YouTube when we were booted off YouTube. Yeah, so absolutely
1:02:35
Speaker 2: he was part of that whole agenda. And I had
1:02:38
Speaker 2: a couple of clips. I wanted to just show you
1:02:40
Speaker 2: a couple of images from his from his leaving do
1:02:43
Speaker 2: because it gives you a sense of like how closely
1:02:45
Speaker 2: knit the top levels of the media and the technology
1:02:48
Speaker 2: industry are in the UK. So that's his leaving do,
1:02:50
Speaker 2: it's about a year ago now. And then sitting at
1:02:53
Speaker 2: one of the top tables we got there. Look at
1:02:55
Speaker 2: there's Tim Davie.
1:02:56
Speaker 1: It's just a coincidences.
1:02:57
Speaker 2: Tim Davey, Yes, sir, Actually the guy whose job you're
1:03:02
Speaker 2: you're taking was at your leaving do and you obviously
1:03:05
Speaker 2: know him quite well, and he's sitting next to there,
1:03:07
Speaker 2: just to the left of Tim Davies. We're looking at
1:03:09
Speaker 2: the image. That's Debbie Weinstein, who now runs Google has
1:03:13
Speaker 2: taken Matt Brittain's job. So this is just a tiny
1:03:17
Speaker 2: little group circulating revolving door. Absolutely, he is a revolving door.
1:03:22
Speaker 2: And then also finally we'll probably we should do some
1:03:24
Speaker 2: more on this because there's a lot there's a lot
1:03:26
Speaker 2: around this, this this whole crowd is that actually Davy
1:03:29
Speaker 2: has already got a new job and he's going to
1:03:32
Speaker 2: be the chair of the Creative Industries Council, which basically
1:03:35
Speaker 2: oversees the film industry, music, advertising, craft like anything to
1:03:42
Speaker 2: do with creativity coming out of the UK, which is
1:03:45
Speaker 2: one of our primary industries.
1:03:46
Speaker 8: Right.
1:03:47
Speaker 2: We talk about the creative industry a lot. He's not
1:03:49
Speaker 2: going to be in charge of that. He's going to
1:03:51
Speaker 2: be overseeing it. Having been booted out of the BBC in.
1:03:54
Speaker 1: Disgrace allegedly or perhaps moved out.
1:03:59
Speaker 2: To video of resign. I mean, he didn't cover himself
1:04:02
Speaker 2: in glory, did he know?
1:04:04
Speaker 1: And what we got there, we've got a corect if
1:04:06
Speaker 1: we just popped that up on screen. Something I always
1:04:08
Speaker 1: pay attention to is the corruption of the Union flag there,
1:04:14
Speaker 1: which is already very significant to me. We see it
1:04:19
Speaker 1: in black on the shoulders of police in UK, so
1:04:23
Speaker 1: that is a corruption that's actually should be regarded as
1:04:26
Speaker 1: an insult to the nation, but here it's used in
1:04:30
Speaker 1: a very casual way. We must end there, Ben, thank
1:04:33
Speaker 1: you very much, We'll say to our audience, pretty heavy
1:04:37
Speaker 1: UK column news today, but we needed to do it
1:04:40
Speaker 1: because many people getting into a little bit of a
1:04:43
Speaker 1: frazzle with a increase in the fuel prices. We're seeing
1:04:46
Speaker 1: prices in the shops go up. Talk of the war
1:04:49
Speaker 1: in Iran and of course still in Ukraine and a
1:04:54
Speaker 1: lot of uncertainty and chaos relaxed. It's being engineered. And
1:04:59
Speaker 1: when you can see how it's being engineered, you can
1:05:02
Speaker 1: see who is engineering it, and it's exposure of those people.
1:05:07
Speaker 1: That's part of the key to stopping the madness of
1:05:11
Speaker 1: going of what's going on. And I think we should
1:05:14
Speaker 1: end by saying that at the end of the day,
1:05:16
Speaker 1: in these troubled times, we all need as many possible
1:05:21
Speaker 1: people to be our friends, and we should be regarding
1:05:25
Speaker 1: people from the outset as a potential friend, not a
1:05:29
Speaker 1: potential enemy, because this is the key thing to break
1:05:34
Speaker 1: down this divide and rule tactic. So if you meet
1:05:39
Speaker 1: a stranger, just try talking to them and understand a
1:05:42
Speaker 1: bit more about them, because that will be strengthening the
1:05:46
Speaker 1: fight against this terrible rules based international order that would
1:05:51
Speaker 1: have each and every one of us against the other.
1:05:55
Speaker 1: We'll end there, Thanks, Ben, we were sorry. I should
1:05:59
Speaker 1: just on UK column News will be back at the
1:06:02
Speaker 1: same time one o'clock on Wednesday. See you then, OHI
