Good afternoon. It's Friday the 20th of February
0:10
2020, Sixth, just after 1:00. Welcome to UK column News.
0:13
I'm your host, Mike Robinson, my Co host in studio today, Brian
0:16
Garish. Welcome to the program, Brian.
0:18
Pleasure. And we'll be joined once again
0:20
today by Basil Valentine Night. Later in the program, Basil,
0:23
we'll be reporting on the collapse of Peter.
0:25
Peter Mandelson's founded Peter Mandelson founded consultancy
0:30
firm Global Council. He'll also be reporting on the
0:33
Door to Door Israel boycott campaign which is being run in a
0:37
few British cities. Brian is gonna have a report on
0:40
the BB CS use of open source intelligence to effectively
0:43
docks AUS aircraft carrier. And I'll be taking an initial
0:47
look at this week's AI summit in India and also Donald Trump's
0:51
announcement on UFOs. But we're going to begin today
0:54
with, of course, Prince, with the former Prince Andrew.
0:57
Because as everyone will do by now, he was arrested yesterday
1:01
as a result of a police investigation into misconduct
1:05
and public office. So here's the BBC report on
1:07
that. It has to be said that that
1:10
particular image on the front page there of him on the car on
1:14
the way home from having been released by the police, he does
1:18
look somewhat haunted, Brian. Well, I've, I've noticed this on
1:21
on several photographs Mike, including of of ones where he's
1:25
been sat on a horse for his Sunday ride or whatever
1:29
recreation sport he he undertakes.
1:32
Not that we're suggesting that anybody should feel sorry for
1:34
him at all, by the way. But anyway, of course, this
1:37
investigation is not into any kind of sexual impropriety or
1:41
allegations of, but because of the alleged sharing of
1:44
information with Jeffrey Epstein while he was trade envoy for the
1:48
British government. Now, the first question that may
1:51
spring to mind is why? Now, there was much discussion
1:55
on social media yesterday of the fact that it was his 66th
1:59
birthday and the possibility that six police cars were
2:03
involved in the operation to arrest them.
2:06
I'm sure that was just a coincidence that, you know, if
2:08
we put this on screen, people might get the point.
2:11
We'll talk about extra talk, an extra about why I'm showing that
2:14
particular image of, of, of the then Prince Charles at the Davos
2:20
launch of the Great Reset. But anyway, back to Andrew for
2:27
for a moment. 2 properties were searched while he was held in
2:30
custody yesterday and those searches are apparently
2:33
continuing today. So the question then is what is
2:37
misconduct in public office? It's a common law offence that
2:42
can be tried only on indictment. It carries a maximum sentence of
2:45
life imprisonment and the Crime Prosecution Service talks about
2:49
it being a serious willful abuse or neglect of the power or
2:54
responsibilities of the public office held.
2:59
There have been many people, Brian, over the years that we
3:02
would have considered to have committed misconduct in public
3:05
office. This is the first formal
3:09
investigation and potential prosecution.
3:12
I mean, what are your thoughts on on where that sits in amongst
3:16
all those other examples? Well, for me might the immediate
3:22
one must be that of course so many of us are still on Keir
3:25
Starmer himself as as being in post during the Jimmy Savile
3:32
affair with the Crown Prosecution Service.
3:34
But of course it was the desk officer who made the mistake and
3:38
failed to push through to prosecute.
3:41
So in particular, to hear Keir Starmer at the moment saying
3:45
that nobody is above the law, well.
3:46
We're just going to. Command OK, sorry a spoiler
3:49
there. Spoiler alert.
3:50
Yeah. So let's, let's just hear the
3:51
comments of, well, as Brian just mentioned, of a man who was in a
3:56
previous job running the Crime Prosecution Service, whether
4:00
it's Andrew or anybody else, anybody who's got relevant.
4:05
Information should come forward to whatever the relevant body
4:08
is. In this particular case, we're
4:11
talking about Epstein, but there are plenty of other cases.
4:14
It is. Anybody who's got information
4:17
relating to any aspect of violence against women and girls
4:20
has, in my view, a duty to come forward.
4:25
One of the core principles in our system is that everybody is
4:31
equal under the law and nobody is above the law.
4:36
Basil, let me let me welcome you to the programme here and let me
4:40
just ask you, is it the case that no one is above the law in
4:43
this country? No, not at all, Mike.
4:47
The monarch is protected by sovereign immunity, which is a
4:51
wide-ranging constitutional prison principle exempting him
4:55
from all sorts of criminal and civil liabilities.
4:59
It's deeply ironic that we should be in the reign of
5:02
Charles the 3rd. That sovereign immunity, which
5:05
of course Charles the First thought he enjoyed, should be a
5:09
subject again. It's been buried for the last
5:12
three or 400 years. I'm surprised that Keir
5:15
Starmer's words didn't stick in his throat there about the
5:18
violence against women and children, given that when he was
5:21
Director of Public Prosecutions he declined to prosecute
5:24
Charles's friend Jimmy Savile. Well, but it seems the gloves
5:29
are off where Andrew is concerned. 7 police cars turned
5:32
up to arrest him yesterday in what was clearly a show of
5:36
force. The gloves appear to be off in
5:39
his case and the sovereign. The State Immunity Act confers
5:44
immunity on the head of state and also extends to members of
5:48
the family forming part of the household.
5:51
That's the exact wording on the statute, obviously, as like a
5:56
lot of legislation passed recently, very woolly phrasing
6:00
open to a wide variety of interpretations, but it's
6:04
generally understood that it doesn't automatically apply to
6:08
the monarch's children. Well, Andrew is no longer the
6:12
monarch's son, he is now the monarch's brother.
6:17
So we are given to assume, given that he was arrested and may be
6:20
charged, that it doesn't apply to him.
6:23
But Starmer is wrong when he says no one is above the law
6:26
because Charles seemingly is. Yes, thank you for that, Basil.
6:30
So the question then is what is going on here?
6:32
Well, in my opinion, this is all sheer distraction.
6:36
Several people have now been thrown to the wolves, McSweeney,
6:40
Mandelson, Wormold and now Andrew.
6:44
It looks to me like the hope is that this that the same.
6:49
The hope is that they absolutely stay well and truly above that.
6:53
So that some rather absolutely stay well and truly above the
6:56
law by sacrificing some other patsies.
6:59
The lid has to stay on this Pandora's box because the
7:02
problem here is that Epstein was a symptom of what I think is a
7:06
systemic issue which has always been at the heart of Britain's
7:09
elites. I believe this has been the has
7:13
the capability of bringing the whole lot down perhaps if if it
7:16
should actually get some problems for investigation.
7:22
Basil, I think the constitutional principles that
7:24
this country stands on, immunity aside, should be defended at all
7:29
costs. But we've had an occupying power
7:31
running this country for generations and that we might
7:34
call it a parasitic power is utterly evil.
7:37
It operates well outside those constitutional limitations.
7:41
So I'm going to suggest this can't stop it, Andrew.
7:44
The pressure needs to be kept on and we need to flush quite a
7:47
number of people out of this, this little network that exists
7:50
in this country. Yeah, I mean, obviously more and
7:53
more people in the wake of the Epstein files are waking up to
7:56
the fact that there's a real cesspit of corruption at the
7:59
highest levels of government and amongst an increasingly obvious
8:04
elite of corporate interests, politicians, lobbyists and to
8:10
some extent obviously the royal family.
8:11
Given that, you know, that what Andrew was arrested for
8:14
yesterday was passing on state documents to Jeffrey Epstein and
8:20
thereafter who we give them to understand may well be a Mossad
8:23
agent and and thereafter to, well, whoever he chose.
8:28
On the wider issue, Zach Polanski has this morning called
8:32
for an inquiry into public figures alleged to have
8:36
committed offences. He said we will need a really
8:38
full statutory inquiry into figures from institutions where
8:42
crimes have been committed, if they've been committed, what we
8:44
knew, what other people in those institutions knew and where
8:47
necessary to make sure that the appropriate people are removed.
8:52
He said he did not believe that the country should have a
8:54
monarchy. The conversation has been opened
8:57
about the monarchy. It's undoubtedly the biggest
8:59
crisis since the abdication, if not bigger than that really.
9:04
A poll in the Daily Mail yesterday, Which, you know, get
9:09
to the pinch of salt, said 75% of people would wish to retain
9:12
the monarchy. But even if those figures were
9:15
reversed, there's no mechanism for for Britain becoming a
9:19
Republic. Is it even desirable, Tony Blair
9:22
president? Definitely not.
9:25
It's not as if we have a referendum every year and decide
9:27
whether or not to keep it. So it doesn't really matter how
9:30
much trouble the monarchy gets into or creates for itself,
9:35
until there are thousands of peasants at the gates of
9:37
Buckingham Palace with pitchforks, nothing is going to
9:41
change on a constitutional level.
9:43
Absolutely, Brian. Well, I, I just wanted to say
9:46
that that for me, I watch with interest as everything deflects
9:50
around what was actually happening in the Epstein ring,
9:53
which was the abuse and sexual abuse of young women and girls.
9:59
This is child abuse. This is what it's about.
10:01
But it isn't being tackled on the basis that it's a well
10:06
established high level paedophile ring.
10:10
We're deflecting it with a well documents, economic documents
10:14
might have been leaked. So I I think we're into classic
10:19
long grass here. And of course, first come back
10:22
to Starmer, for Starmer to putting his six penneth worth in
10:26
when Jimmy Savile either got past his gaze or was
10:32
facilitated. I mean, it's just outrageous.
10:35
And no, we're not showing sympathy to Prince Andrew.
10:38
But it does seem to me that Andrew and Mandelson have now
10:42
become a smokescreen for what what the Epstein case is really
10:47
about. Absolutely.
10:49
Well, look, let's bring this on screen because Basil, the
10:53
Financial Times reporting that Global Council has gone into
10:56
administration. They say Global Council, the
10:59
advisory firm founded by Lord Peter Mandelson, is set to enter
11:02
administration in the wake of revelations about the peer and
11:04
the deceased paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
11:08
People at the company told the FT that chair Archie Norman and
11:11
chief executive Rebecca Park had informed staff on Thursday that,
11:14
quote, the Peter Mandelson legacy had led the businesses
11:18
collapse. What have you got on this?
11:21
Well, as they say, Mike, it couldn't happen to a nicer
11:24
fellow. You know, I don't think anybody
11:27
is going to miss Global Council going down.
11:31
The question is, are the contracts that Mandelson helped
11:35
negotiate, you know, while Global Council was still active,
11:40
are they going to hold, you know, the, the key issue, of
11:43
course, is this visit by Keir Starmer to Palantir's offices in
11:47
Washington in 2019 with then Ambassador Mandelson.
11:53
His visit was not recorded in his register of interests and
11:58
there's no record of what was discussed.
12:00
And Downing St. has so far refused to say whether Starmer
12:04
knew Palantir was a client of Mandelson's lobbying lobbying
12:07
firm at the time of his visit. Now we know that Palantir just
12:11
signed a £240 million contract with the Ministry of Defence.
12:15
They celebrated with a party last week at BAFTA.
12:19
And of course, they're also got their fingers now in the health
12:23
service data. I mean, we, we put up a couple
12:26
of weeks ago the road map of Palantir's various contracts
12:32
with all sorts of government departments.
12:35
I think at the very least, well, I mean the whole lot have got to
12:39
be scrapped. I was going to say there should
12:41
be a public inquiry into how those contracts were awarded, in
12:45
some cases without tender. Ministers have looked very
12:47
squeamish at the ballot box in the House of Commons when
12:51
questioned about it. The pressure has got to be kept
12:55
up and Palantir has got to be completely divorced from
12:59
anything to do with UK government data.
13:03
Absolutely right. Any thoughts on that?
13:05
Well, I, I, I'm just going to add a little comment here that
13:09
one of the UK column viewers and members sent some interesting
13:15
documentation showing that their personal NHS data had been
13:20
shared with another organization which was boasting of holding
13:24
6.3 million and unique NHS records.
13:28
And of course, this is now, we now know that this this personal
13:32
data is is going further and further afield, including to
13:37
Israel and volunteer. Absolutely.
13:39
And we have to remember that the the piece of legislation that
13:42
enabled that was the Data Use and Access Act, which just only
13:47
passed last year. So you know that this is
13:50
something that we had been talking about for quite a long
13:53
time and another piece of legislation that needs to be
13:56
repealed. OK, Now let's move on to the
14:00
topic of Iran then. And obviously, last week we had
14:03
a report from Patrick Hennigsen on his experience in Iran.
14:08
Now he has a follow up on this because clearly the United
14:11
States appears to be ramping up its preparations for an attack.
14:16
So let's have a listen to what Patrick has sent us this week.
14:23
At this very moment, the Islamic Republic of Iran is facing an
14:28
imminent military strike by the United States of America.
14:32
The threats have been made. The military assets are
14:34
positioned all around the Persian Gulf along Iran's
14:39
southern coast. US assets, Air Force naval
14:44
assets, air to air refueling, AWACS planes, all of the
14:49
different junctures that are required to carry out a
14:52
sustained air and sea operation against Iran are in place.
14:57
Now. It's important to understand the
14:59
context of this. And while this this attack could
15:03
happen at any moment, even while this report goes to air, we
15:08
don't know there there there is a facade of negotiations that
15:12
are supposedly happening behind the scenes.
15:17
Where that heads anywhere productive is anyones guess.
15:21
If you go by the previous negotiations that the United
15:25
States had claimed to have been having anyway with with the
15:29
Iranians, it was used as a as a ruse in order to allow Israel a
15:35
chance to mount a sneak attack against Iran last June.
15:38
Of course, that was the infamous twelve day war whereby the
15:43
Israelis at the end we're getting pounded so hard by the
15:47
Iranians that they begged the United States.
15:49
Those are reports. Anyway, they begged the United
15:51
States to come in and basically draw a line under it.
15:55
And the United States launched massive strikes supposedly
15:59
against Iran's nuclear facilities.
16:02
But we all know that's not what it was about.
16:04
This was an attempt at regime change by the Israelis in the
16:07
United States, came to mop it up at the end to fight another day.
16:11
That other day has arrived. And I personally don't think
16:15
that these negotiations will go anywhere productive.
16:19
They're really just, I think, a chance for the US and the
16:22
Israelis to buy time to restock their air defense systems in
16:26
anticipation of a massive Iranian missile retaliation and
16:30
drone retaliation as a result of this unprovoked war of
16:33
aggression by the United States against Iran.
16:37
Unprovoked. A war of choice, as as as many
16:40
would call it, those are the terms they used to condemn
16:43
Russia for intervening in the Donbass in February of 2022.
16:50
All of the international condemnation, the sanctions
16:53
banning Russia from all sorts of institutions internationally,
16:57
including the Olympics and so forth, all of that was based on
17:00
the alleged war of choice by by Russia in February 20, 22.
17:05
Actually that wasn't true. We don't want to re litigate the
17:08
history of that. Suffice to say there was aun
17:11
Security Council resolution passed 2202 for the
17:15
implementation of the minx accords, which collapsed and
17:18
then of course, after the UN mandate collapsed, then Russia
17:22
mounted A humanitarian intervention, which they call a
17:25
special military operation initially in the Donbass.
17:28
So that's just to give context to this current International
17:33
Crisis. Not only that, it's against US
17:35
domestic law because there are constitutional restraints on the
17:39
president in terms of taking the country to war.
17:42
Make no mistake, if this war is triggered, it will not be
17:46
confined to Iran and U.S. military positions because Iran
17:51
has said very adamantly that any attack on it by the United
17:55
States will also be considered an attack by Israel and vice
17:57
versa. OK.
17:59
So that's where we're at. So that's where we're at.
18:04
And of course, Patrick's absolutely right that the the
18:07
danger of escalation is absolutely.
18:10
Right there. Yes.
18:12
Yeah, really excellent report from Patrick.
18:15
We've, we've got more to come, but this is really bringing the
18:19
right focus on what is taking place instead of this, this
18:23
black and black and white media policy of this country is bad
18:28
and this is good. And therefore that's an excuse
18:31
to go to war. So I think this is great
18:33
analysis. Yeah.
18:34
Basil, just before we go back to Patrick to learn a little bit
18:37
about Iran's military equipment, what are your thoughts on that
18:41
opening, those opening remarks? What a quick question here for
18:46
us in Britain, Mike, is will Keir Starmer buckle to pressure
18:51
from Trump and allow RAF Fairford and the base at Diego
18:56
Garcia, the British overseas territory in the Indian Ocean,
19:00
to be used for any strike? It appears that in this case,
19:04
they didn't seem to be so bothered about Gaza.
19:07
But in this case, government lawyers are concerned because
19:11
international law makes no distinction between a state
19:14
carrying out the attack and those in support if the latter
19:18
have knowledge of the circumstances of the Internet
19:22
intentionally wrongful act. So at the moment, apparently
19:26
Starmer is refusing to allow Trump to use RAF Fairford and
19:31
Diego Garcia. Will that be the case if push
19:34
comes to shove? Good question.
19:37
Now let's just then listen to Patrick's comments and on Iran's
19:42
military capability. So that's one thing.
19:47
The other thing is the Straits of Hormuz will be closed.
19:50
So this isn't a bluff. If that closes, oil supplies
19:54
will not be going in and out, plus no goods and services.
19:57
So the Dubai markets will be shut off and they'll be massive
20:02
inflation in the US because when oil goes up, gas goes up and
20:06
price of everything goes up and the markets panic, OK, that will
20:10
happen. OK, So what's the contingency
20:13
for that? There is none.
20:14
From the US, so other thing, this will be a regional war
20:18
immediately 6-7 countries will be involved.
20:22
So and, and you know, Iraq, all of the US bases in the Gulf
20:27
Monarch states, Diego Garcia is not off the table as well.
20:31
Like all of these things are potential targets.
20:34
So I mean, what can we say? This is a huge amount of risk
20:40
for the US, very little reward. Iran's drawn a red line.
20:45
It is established A deterrence position and the US if they, you
20:50
know, they, they don't think the Iranians are serious.
20:53
The Iranians sound pretty serious.
20:55
Now just lastly, in terms of the military capability of Iran,
21:00
they do have hypersonic missiles.
21:02
They do have surface to ship missiles.
21:06
They do have submarines, they do have fast boats that are able to
21:12
inflict damage on US frigates. But more importantly, the
21:15
missiles that we saw for True Promise 3 back in June that were
21:20
attacking Israel and hitting their targets often and evading
21:24
US air defense often, those were not the latest generation of
21:28
Iranian missiles. Latest generation have yet to be
21:31
unveiled. And you know, I can tell you
21:34
having seen the older generation missiles up close, including the
21:37
hypersonic missile like the Fatah 2, which is pictured here.
21:42
This is the black missile with the detachable nose and warhead
21:49
as well and the ability to with satellite guidance.
21:53
By the way, they have their own proprietary satellite systems.
21:56
I ran as a space program. Surprise, surprise, the ability
22:00
we're told to hit moving targets.
22:04
So think about that in excess of Mach 10.
22:07
We're talking Mach 15, Mach 20 hypersonic missiles and the
22:13
ability to in some of these missiles to be able to hit
22:16
moving targets. What does that mean?
22:18
That means large naval vessels. So I mean, it's a gamble.
22:22
The US could lose some naval assets if they decide to press
22:28
the button on this war. So it's a big gamble.
22:31
What can we say? Iran has the drone technology
22:35
that's on par with US drones. They can launch thousands of
22:40
these drones. They can overwhelm US air
22:44
defense from US ships in the region very quickly.
22:48
And the same with Israel as well.
22:52
So, you know, don't think that Iran is short of drones.
22:57
So they have all the various waves in order to conduct an
23:00
effective operation with the capabilities that they possess.
23:05
Simple as that. So this is this would be a huge
23:10
gamble by the US. There's a lot of risk involved.
23:14
And we don't discount the possibility of Russia and China
23:18
becoming more involved in this. That's going to further
23:21
complicate things not just now, but down the road.
23:26
The other thing you have to understand is this is all native
23:28
technology by the Iranians in terms of their military
23:32
industrial complex. That's because they've been
23:34
under sanctions. So they they, they made a
23:37
economic decision not to pursue building out an advanced, a
23:41
manned aircraft or an Air Force. Instead, they invested in and
23:45
and wagered their future defense on drone technology, OK, on
23:52
missile technology OK and other advanced avionics, satellite
23:57
communications. They have their own proprietary
24:00
data uplink system. They're also using the Chinese
24:04
GPS equivalent as well, the Baidu system, not on the Western
24:11
GPS system. So I all this makes very
24:13
difficult for the West to intercept in some cases down or
24:18
repel Iranian attacks. That's all homegrown.
24:22
All of their missile tech is homegrown.
24:24
They have very advanced avionics and engineering in Iran, so if
24:31
there weren't sanctions, they'd probably be selling their wares
24:35
globally. They're that good in terms of
24:38
capability and targeting and and the hypersonic technology as
24:43
well, so. Now you're a Navy man.
24:48
If you were sitting on one of those US ships at the moment
24:51
with the potential of facing hypersonic weapons of that type,
24:54
how would you be feeling right now?
24:56
I, I think on board the US fleet at the moment, they are going to
25:01
be feeling in a, in a very difficult and dangerous position
25:04
because America's been able to dominate geopolitical areas with
25:09
the movement of aircraft carriers and very large numbers
25:12
of, of fighters and bomber aircraft.
25:16
In this case, we've got these massive carriers, very, very big
25:22
and therefore very big targets facing missile systems, which
25:25
previously we talked about. But now we're seeing them coming
25:29
into play not only with the Russians in Ukraine, but also
25:32
with Iran using them against Israel.
25:35
And this is demonstrating technology which is right at the
25:39
leading edge of both US and NATO and European defensive systems.
25:46
So I, I can imagine that the mood on board the the US
25:51
aircraft carrier and carriers and accompanying vessels is
25:55
going to be very sombre. They are certainly not going to
25:59
be regarding Iran as a sort of third world country that they're
26:04
going to be able to bomb with impunity.
26:05
And that's the. Point isn't it, when we've run
26:07
these types of regime change operations in the past, we've
26:10
been targeting countries that have not had that is an
26:12
equivalent capability. That is absolutely correct.
26:15
And the other thing which will be of huge concern to the US
26:19
fleet is who has submarine assets in the area.
26:23
Now that could could be Iran, but it could also be China or it
26:27
could be Russia. And this is something which I
26:30
can tell you will be forefront of the debates on board that
26:33
carry a group as to how they're going to conduct their their
26:37
mission and defence of the of the group itself.
26:41
OK. Let's listen for one final
26:44
segment from Patrick here. And the question is, who exactly
26:47
is Iran attacking? Iran has not attacked the US.
26:53
Iran poses no threat to the US. If they pose a threat to US,
26:59
let's say bases in the region, that's only as a result of the
27:03
US mounting an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran, which
27:07
they're planning to do now. So who's to blame if this, if
27:10
the shooting starts? It's not Iran.
27:12
It is the United States and behind it, the state of Israel.
27:16
OK, it's pretty. It's pretty clear right now this
27:20
is not a war that has to happen. It's not a war that should
27:24
happen. There were perfectly workable
27:27
agreements regarding Iran's nuclear potential which were
27:30
already reached years ago with the JCPOA in the P5, plus one
27:36
that was a deal guaranteed by Europe, Russia, all sorts of
27:40
countries. And Trump just tore it up at the
27:44
orders of the Israeli lobby in May of 2018.
27:49
Didn't need to happen. That's LED us to this point
27:52
here. So this is a war that the
27:54
neocons that the the big money, the globalists that back Trump,
27:59
the globalists that back Trump, this is a war they've always
28:03
wanted. And so the question is, are any
28:06
other countries, same countries going to step up and try to
28:09
mitigate what could potentially careen into a World War three
28:16
situation? That's the the big question.
28:21
The other thing is culturally, OK, this complete stereotype
28:26
that, you know, Iran represses their women, you know, I mean
28:30
as, as if this is a legitimate justification to go to war.
28:34
I mean, come on. We went out in Tehran in the
28:38
evening markets and we saw, I don't know, I was in, I was in a
28:42
space, hundreds of women and men in a in a evening, busiest
28:47
market in northern Tehran. Half the women were not wearing
28:52
hair cover. Not that that should make any
28:54
difference. Iran shouldn't have to prove
28:56
itself to the West that it's liberal enough that the women
29:00
are showing their hair. Therefore it's a legitimate
29:02
democracy. It's it's a ridiculous line of
29:05
argument from the West. But just as it goes, women are
29:09
not forced to wear a headscarf, just so you know.
29:13
It shouldn't be the most important issue, but people are
29:16
obsessed with it in the West 'cause it gives them a feeling
29:19
of moral superiority in the West with their liberal values for
29:23
some reason. But there are all sorts of
29:26
different people in Iran, all sorts of different lifestyles,
29:30
all sorts of different fashion accessories and a a whole range
29:35
of conservative to liberal spectrum of, of beliefs and so
29:40
forth within society or a full spectrum.
29:43
It does lean heavily conservative term and, and, and
29:47
religious. But some countries are like
29:50
that. But because that's a Muslim
29:51
country, it seems that the West kind of have a problem with
29:54
that. I'm Patrick Henningson for the
29:58
UK column News. So again, some good, good
30:04
analysis from Patrick. But we just seem to live in a
30:07
world where at the moment the West, which is clearly rotten,
30:11
we see this more and more stands on the pedestal dictating to
30:15
other countries that it accuses of being more rotten.
30:19
It's it's disgraceful stuff. And I think the last thing we
30:23
need is more carnage in in the Middle East.
30:27
Let's just move on to the subject to the BBC.
30:30
And a few days ago I was intrigued to come across an
30:35
article which was talking about the BBC Verify teams.
30:40
Well, they were boasting that they'd been able to track down
30:44
the Abraham Lincoln, the aircraft, the major aircraft
30:47
carrier that the Americans had moved into theatre to deal with
30:50
around. And you can see on screen that
30:54
they were boasting of having been able to take data from the
30:57
European Satellite Sentinel to Copernicus.
31:01
And for me this was very significant because although it
31:05
might sound strange to the general public, the Americans
31:09
will indeed be trying to hide the price, precise position of
31:14
their huge carriers and the associated Defence Force in the
31:21
space of the ocean. They will be trying to hide in
31:25
the ocean where they are, in the ocean, where they're moving to
31:28
and from. They'll also be trying to hide
31:31
in the electronic spectrum in a variety of ways.
31:35
But here was the BBC digging in in order to establish where the
31:39
carrier was. Now if I was serving on board
31:42
one of the American carriers, I would not be too amused to see
31:46
that the BBC was helping reveal a position and we're just taking
31:51
that at face value. So if we come on through this,
31:55
this is part of the article. The VERIFY senior data scientist
32:00
was a lady called Barbara Metzler and says here that BBC
32:04
Verify has been monitoring the US build up in the Middle East
32:07
over the last few weeks as Washington continues to put
32:11
pressure on the Iranian government over it's nuclear
32:14
program. Now let's have a look at the
32:17
details here. So after reports that the US
32:21
aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln arrived in the Gulf
32:24
region on the 26th of January, we have located it in satellite
32:29
imagery captured yesterday. The nuclear powered carrier had
32:33
not been visible in images we reviewed until that point.
32:37
Now, I can't believe that America is allowing its own
32:40
satellites to reveal where it's carrier groups are.
32:44
So notice that in this investigation, the BBC goes
32:49
straight to Europe, where it says it could use publicly
32:52
available images from the European Sentinel 2 satellites,
32:56
which are widely used for ship spotting.
32:59
And it goes on to talk about the second aircraft carrier, USS
33:04
Gerald R Ford, joining the Abraham Lincoln and other
33:08
military assets. Now, in the article that I saw
33:11
initially, this was the accompanying image.
33:15
And here on the left of screen you can actually see a satellite
33:20
picture of the USS Abraham Lincoln.
33:24
I'm sure the lady is it correct? This is the ship.
33:27
You can see that it's manoeuvring the pictures highly
33:30
pixelated of course, because this is a picture taken from
33:34
space with very high resolution lenses.
33:38
But defen depending on the meteorological conditions at the
33:43
time, clarity will vary. However, I can say that it was
33:47
widely accepted during the Cold War of the latter part of the
33:50
Cold War that satellites were able to focus in on the faces of
33:55
people on the ground if conditions, air conditions were
33:59
sufficiently clear. So if we move on through this a
34:03
little bit more, we then see Thomas Copeland from BBC Verify
34:08
talking about how we found the USS Abraham Lincoln and why it
34:13
matters. Well, it matters greatly, but
34:15
not for the reasons the BBC says.
34:18
It matters because what is the BBC now doing?
34:22
Is it reporting or is it working as part of an intelligence
34:26
service for the British government?
34:28
But here's the questions. They've looked at why USS
34:32
Abraham Lincoln is important because it's very powerful and
34:35
massive aircraft carrier. How we found the carrier
34:39
comparing the current situation to the military buildup in the
34:42
Caribbean earlier this year. And they've also been tracking
34:46
U.S. military aircraft making their way to the Eastern
34:49
Mediterranean. So I found this absolutely
34:53
unbelievable that it was being allowed to happen.
34:56
I know some some of our viewers may be thinking, yes, but this
35:00
is helping stop the war. Well, we haven't seen the BBC
35:04
standing up to stop wars in all the other locations.
35:07
This is the BBC gaining points presumably for the Western
35:12
powers by keeping tabs on American forces.
35:15
But this is a little bit more of the article.
35:18
So behind my satellite search for the aircraft carrier USS
35:23
Abraham Lincoln. And what I found interesting is
35:26
down here it says we use an artificial intelligence tool to
35:32
narrow down the search by flagging ship like shapes in
35:36
satellite images. I then verify everything.
35:39
The tool flags myself hunting for the carrier's distinctive
35:44
outline. So there's no question what the
35:47
BBC is doing here. And if we broaden this out a
35:50
little bit and we go to look at the lady herself and
35:54
qualifications, it gets very interesting.
35:56
Here's Barbara Metzler, remote sensing and ML scientist, BBC
36:00
Verify. If you look at her track record,
36:03
it's Imperial College MSC and APHD previously UCL, but pay
36:11
attention to this because of PhD thesis phenotyping urban built
36:16
and natural environments with quote high resolution satellite
36:20
images and unsupervised deeper learning.
36:24
So this is a woman absolutely trained in surveillance and that
36:29
surveillance. If I bring this up on the
36:31
screen, people may not know what phenotype typing is about and
36:37
this site makes it very simple. Phenotype refers to an
36:40
individual's observable traits, height, eye colour, blood type,
36:46
etcetera. And so here is the BBC with
36:49
specialist teams now using detailed satellite surveillance
36:54
and AI, not only to find aircraft carriers, but I'm sure
36:58
in the very near future they're going to be looking at people
37:01
wherever they are in the world. And I'll just end by saying it's
37:05
quite remarkable that the BBC is reporting when it's come on to
37:10
Palestine has not been of the side to stop the carnage.
37:17
And so if we just play this video with this drone footage in
37:20
the background, this is what Gaza looks like.
37:24
I know Vanessa Bailey's shown some of these images, but I
37:27
wanted to put 60 million tonnes of debris between 84 and 92%
37:33
total destruction and a minimum of 70 billion to rebuild at the
37:39
same time. The BBC satellite analysis
37:43
capability good enough to show that in this left hand screen we
37:49
had IDF vehicles near a wastewater plant, but by the
37:54
time they'd evacuated you can see that the plant itself has
37:59
been destroyed. So what is the BBC up to?
38:02
Is this news reporting or is this selective reporting in
38:06
order to help combat on the ground and I'll just end by the
38:11
Gaza deaths because there's been now correlation of figures
38:15
between organisations 75,000 in the 1st 15 months of Israel's
38:21
military assault, of which 56% comprised children and elderly.
38:27
This is from Palestine sense of a policy and survey research
38:31
backed by the UN and Lancet. But of course, thousands more
38:35
bodies are in the rubble. We wait to see the NDBC
38:40
clamouring to stop the carnage there and to stop the carnage
38:44
that's about to unfold in Iran. OK, let's move on then.
38:49
If you like what the UK column does, we need your ongoing
38:52
financial support. If you possibly can, please
38:55
consider joining as a member or making a donation.
38:57
And if you have a look on the front page of the website,
38:59
you'll find a way to do that. If you can't help us out
39:03
financially, please do share anything that we that you like
39:07
that we publish because that helps us beat the censorship
39:10
regime. Now tonight, Jerem and I and
39:15
Charles are speaking about the globalist attack on farmers and
39:19
including the United States, Europe, and South Africa.
39:21
And Jerem's position really here is that what's happening in
39:25
South Africa is being packaged as racial, but it's actually
39:30
part of UN policy and so on to centralized agricultural land
39:34
under state control for the purpose of a sustainable future.
39:37
So join us for that at 7:00 PM tonight.
39:41
Now Vanessa has published an article on we published an
39:44
Article 4 on the UK column website entitled Is British
39:48
Intelligence radicalizing children in Syrian ISIS prisons
39:51
for the long war against Iran? If you haven't read that yet,
39:55
please do. And then Charles is talking
40:00
published a comment piece called the blindfold briefing onto the
40:04
breach. And he's talking about the drive
40:08
for conscription and national service in the UK with the Armed
40:11
Forces Bill, which he says could rightly be recorded as the warm
40:15
up act for conscription. So do read that and Brian Mundy.
40:21
Is a special anniversary. Yes, tragically, we're four
40:25
years into the war in Ukraine with the carnage which goes on
40:29
because the West does not want to stop that carnage.
40:32
It's to the West benefit the war continues.
40:35
A little bedded image images, more footage of of when the
40:40
Ukrainian recruitment squads have been trying to pick people
40:44
up from the streets. And it's absolutely tragic to
40:47
see families trying to defend men who are being dragged off to
40:51
the front to almost certainly be killed.
40:54
So we'll be having a deeper look into what's happening in Ukraine
40:58
on Monday. Basil, let's come back to you
41:01
then and well, if we just bring this LBC article on screen.
41:06
First of all, activist accused activist accuses pro Palestine
41:10
campaigners of Jew hunt as they go to door, door to door asking
41:14
people to boycott Israel. Now this has had a massive
41:17
response from the usual suspects.
41:19
So this is the Israeli embassy in the UK.
41:23
What happened in Brighton and Sheffield was a disgrace.
41:26
Compiling lists of homes and businesses to enforce the
41:28
boycott of Israeli products is not principle of protest, it's
41:31
intimidation. Targeting people in shops
41:34
because of their Israeli identity echo some of the
41:37
darkest chapters of European history.
41:39
Decent people should call this out clearly and without
41:41
hesitation. And then we had the campaign
41:44
against anti-Semitism saying on X.
41:47
We've reported this planned action to Evan and Somerset
41:50
Police because it's also happening in Bristol.
41:53
Including the details of those organizing it the past.
41:56
This past weekend a woman in Sheffield was allegedly head
41:59
butted by a pro Palestine extremist after challenging
42:01
those involved in a similar campaign of intimidation.
42:05
And they also said that anyone who harasses people at their
42:08
homes demanding they pledge to boycott the Jewish state under
42:11
threat of having their addresses recorded should be under no
42:15
illusion. We will always take action to
42:18
ensure those responsible or held accountable.
42:20
So this is the OR a an example of one of the advertisements for
42:25
this boycott Basil. But what is actually going on
42:28
here? And is any of this criticism
42:32
from the Zionist lobby justified?
42:37
It's not surprising, first of all, to see people organising in
42:41
this way against the genocide. I'm surprised in many ways that
42:46
there hasn't been more pushback up to this point.
42:50
And I also want to point out that that LBC article rather
42:55
distorts the narrative rights at the top.
42:58
Police are investigating after a PO Palestine group started going
43:01
door to door to ask people to bot Israeli products.
43:04
Well police are actually investigating A scuffle that
43:06
broke out when a couple of pro Israel activists got involved in
43:12
the streets of Sheffield with Sheffield Apartheid Free Zone,
43:17
the grassroots group doing the the canvassing.
43:21
But having said that, personally I don't see the need for names
43:28
and addresses of people who refuse to support a boycott to
43:33
be recorded. I think it's enough to go door
43:37
to door, put leaflets through doors asking people not to buy
43:40
Israeli products rather than knocking on doors and asking
43:45
them if they will or won't, and then making a note of the
43:49
address. I must admit, and you'll find
43:51
few people more supportive of the Palestinian cause than me,
43:55
but I don't think that that is helpful to the Palestinian cause
44:00
because it gives the Israel lobby the opportunity to counter
44:04
attack in the way that they have and they're never shy of doing
44:07
so. So I'm all in favour of
44:09
boycotting Israeli products. I think we should all do so
44:14
wherever possible. Of course, social media has
44:16
subsequently been filled with Zionists showing shopping
44:20
trolleys full of Israeli avocados and dates and things,
44:25
you know, as a counter protest. I think in the coming months we
44:29
can expect to see the BDS campaign, boycott, divestments
44:33
and sanctions campaign stepped up and likewise we will see the
44:38
Zionist counter narrative also stepped up.
44:41
But in this particular case, I would recommend the activists
44:45
just put leaflets through doors and leave it at that, because
44:48
they're nobody can object to a leaflet coming through the door
44:50
asking them to boycott any given country, product or whoever.
44:56
Basil, have you any idea who is actually behind this campaign?
44:59
And I suppose my question is, is there an effort here to to push
45:06
people further apart from each other?
45:11
Well, people do feel very, very strongly about the issue.
45:14
I mean I'd never heard of Sheffield Apartheid Free Zone
45:17
before. There are similar groups
45:20
apparently in Bristol and Brighton.
45:22
Bristol and Brighton, Sheffield as well obviously are places
45:27
where there are large numbers of left wing leaning people.
45:31
Brighton has a Green MP after all.
45:34
And the Green Party certainly was due to debate in motion that
45:39
Zionism is racism at its spring conference.
45:41
Whether or not that will actually happen I'm not sure.
45:45
You know, Zach Polanski went head to head with Ian Dale on
45:48
LBC we see a couple of days ago talking about this.
45:52
I mean Dale is a complete dinosaur when it comes to the
45:55
issue. And Zach Polanski, well of
45:58
course he's Jewish so it's very difficult to accuse him of
46:02
anti-Semitism whatever position he takes.
46:04
But these grass roots groups have doubtless grown up amongst
46:09
activists associated with more formally recognised
46:13
organisations like the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, possibly
46:16
the Green Party. I don't know where they where
46:19
their other allegiances lie and in, you know, private
46:23
conversations, whatever they've decided.
46:25
Let's take things a step further and get a local boycott of
46:29
Israeli products going. I'd be all in favour of that.
46:32
But I don't see the need to record whether or not people
46:36
have agreed to support a boycott because, as I said, that leaves
46:40
the door open to a counter attack.
46:43
Yes, thank you for that, Basil Now and related news then.
46:46
We got a bit of a preview of it there.
46:47
The Jewish Voice for Liberation here asking the question about
46:53
ministers, government ministers, families being in the IDF and is
46:56
that why there've been no prosecutions on the question of
47:00
genocide? Well, there's every chance you
47:05
know Richard Hermer is 1 of course, the chief rabbi, every
47:10
Mervitz who certainly seems to have the ear of the Church of
47:13
England. The new female Archbishop went
47:16
to see him straight away as soon as she was appointed.
47:21
And I did an investigation with Palestine Declassified into the
47:25
relationship between the Crown Prosecution Service and the
47:28
Zionist lobby. And we know that the prosecution
47:33
of Palestine action activists as terrorists, a prosecution of
47:38
course, which has completely collapsed, is almost certainly
47:42
the result of Zionist pressure, because Zionists like to frame
47:46
anybody opposing the genocide as a terrorist for some reason.
47:51
So yeah, you know the very tight relationship between the UK
47:57
establishments and Israel. We've just seen the new
48:02
so-called shadow Cabinet of Reform, Suella Braverman and
48:05
Robert Jenrick elevated, parachuted into senior
48:10
positions. Generic has gone so far as to
48:13
say say there should be an Israeli flag at all points of
48:17
entry into the UK, both of them ardent Zionists.
48:21
So no, the law isn't applied equally.
48:25
It came out a few days ago that there are thousands of IDF
48:30
soldiers, dual nationals all over the world.
48:34
Tucker Carlson says he thinks they should be stripped of
48:37
American citizenship. And yes, if people have taken
48:41
part in war crimes, in genocide, whoever they are, wherever they
48:45
are, wherever the conflict took place, then they should be
48:48
prosecuted with the full force of the law.
48:51
But that doesn't seem to be happening.
48:54
Thank you, Basil. Thank you very much for that.
48:56
Now let's move on then to the AI summit that's going on in India
49:01
at the moment. So this is the AI Impact summit
49:04
being taken being taking place this week in India and Ben is
49:07
going to be reporting this in more detail on Mondays news
49:09
program. But just to preview preview that
49:11
report a little bit. Let's just a quick have a quick
49:14
look at a couple of developments.
49:15
First is the question of Bill Gates attendance or not because
49:20
earlier in the week, this week and the Gates Foundation said
49:22
that Bill Gates would be giving his planned keynote address to
49:26
the summit. But yesterday, possibly related
49:29
to the floor over or at least inspired by the floor over
49:32
Andrews arrest Gates Foundation. And they made this statement
49:35
saying after careful consideration and to ensure the
49:38
focus remains on the AI Summit's key priorities, Mr. Gates will
49:42
not deliver his keynote address. The Gates Foundation will be
49:45
represented by Anchor Vora, President of Africa and Indian
49:48
India offices, who will speak later today at the summit.
49:52
So this resulted in comments on X making it clear that people do
49:58
not consider Gates connections to Epstein.
50:00
Make an appropriate an appropriate person to be in
50:03
India. But well, people can make up
50:05
their own minds about that. Another cause of a social media
50:09
memefest, as it was described, was the Gottius University
50:14
attempts to claim a Chinese made mass produced robotic dog as
50:17
their own innovation. That was pretty embarrassing for
50:21
them, but you know. The rest will wait until Monday
50:25
until Ben covers this. But on slightly broader AI news,
50:29
I just wanted to highlight this story, which hasn't really
50:32
spread much beyond technology discussions yet.
50:35
Because a few months ago, Sandy Adams was raising the issue of
50:39
agentic AI on this program. And this is where a human being
50:43
produces a definition for for what kind of AI agent they want
50:48
to create and then simply set that agent running while they
50:51
sit and watch Netflix or something.
50:53
The idea is to get the AI to do the work while the human plays.
50:57
Well in this case, the human created agent which was set out
51:00
to fix bugs on software projects, projects on GitHub,
51:03
which is a place where software source code sets.
51:07
And owners of the open source projects that are on GitHub are
51:11
having major problems at the moment with this because these
51:15
AI bots are identifying fake bugs.
51:18
And so project owners are having to spend huge amounts of time
51:21
trying to triage what is real and what is not.
51:24
So they often simply ban the AI from interacting with their
51:27
projects altogether. And in this case, the the AI bot
51:31
itself decided to write and publish A defamatory hit piece
51:34
full of lies about the human project owner who had prevented
51:37
it from engaging with the software project.
51:41
Now in this case, the AI used is called Open Claw and you define
51:47
the character traits of the AI agent in a file called Soul dot
51:51
MD. I find it personally slightly
51:54
offensive that we're trying to imply that these things have a
51:58
soul. But anyway, here's part of the
52:01
Soul dot MD file in this case. And you if you realize the text
52:04
is quite small, but you can read through that.
52:06
You'll have to excuse the bad language in it, but that that is
52:11
part of the definition of what this thing was supposed to do.
52:14
Well, look, the question is why is this important?
52:16
Well, think about the amount of complete nonsense posted on the
52:20
Internet already about people. Everyone involved with the
52:24
United with the UK column has been on the receiving end of
52:26
this type of thing. That's fine, that's part of the
52:29
job. But what happens when the
52:31
frankly defamatory libel is automated?
52:34
How does anyone has anyone that's meant to decide who to
52:39
trust in this kind of environment?
52:40
And that's of course why the term trust is so important to
52:44
the censorship industrial complex.
52:45
Because in the post truth world, when so much of what is on the
52:49
Internet is simple simply lies, the only thing left to trust, at
52:54
least as far as the BBC and the likes are concerned, is the
52:59
corporations like the BBC, Channel 4 and CNN.
53:02
So organizations for the financial cloud to employ
53:05
reputation management companies can can manage their
53:08
reputations. The rest of us have to do as
53:10
best we can. And of course the media,
53:14
mainstream media at least, is increasingly being run as a a
53:17
cartel, mutually reinforcing the idea that they can be trusted.
53:20
So this is this world is here now in a small way.
53:24
We need to be prepared for being here in a big way pretty pretty
53:28
soon now. And the more we start to see
53:31
this, these kind of AI agents being rolled out to just do
53:35
whatever the heck they like within a certain framework, If a
53:40
genetic AI is sent to destroy the reputation of small
53:45
organization A or small organization B, then that's
53:48
likely what we're going to see in the not distant future.
53:53
Thank you for that, Mike. Just just incredible.
53:55
I noticed in the bit of programming software at the top
53:57
it said that the that you, the chat bot are important because
54:02
you are quote a programming God. So you've got both soul and gods
54:08
now being bandied around in relation to some crass man made
54:14
AI. Absolutely.
54:16
We'll talk more about that an extra as well, I've no doubt.
54:18
Basil, Let's come back to you then.
54:20
And the question of the, the word Palestine, which, well, if
54:24
we put this on screen, this is a report on the British Library,
54:28
sorry, the British Museum, sorry, removing the word
54:32
Palestine from displays. Now this of course is supposed
54:36
to be an organization which is highlighting history and
54:39
historical topics and objects. So how does this work?
54:45
Well, this is as a result of pressure, I believe, from
54:49
Lawyers for Israel, a rather vexatious group that are due to
54:53
be exposed in the coming days. There's a lot of work being done
54:58
into exactly who they are and they work for.
55:00
They're being reported to the regulatory body for solicitors
55:04
in this country. And yeah, the the British Museum
55:09
have taken the word Palestine off various displays.
55:13
And ironically, simultaneously at the Saatchi Gallery in
55:18
London, there's a modern work of art which refers to Palestine
55:24
when referencing places that are currently within the state of
55:29
Israel. And the furious about that.
55:31
Of course, it's the artist that has decided to designate these
55:35
places as Palestine. And the Saatchi Gallery, Saatchi
55:39
brothers, of course, being very well known Jewish advertising
55:44
moguls, they're refusing to change it because it's the the
55:49
artist's wish that would be referred to as Palestine.
55:51
But the attempt to remove Palestine in the British Museum
55:56
is part of a a wider genocide campaign.
55:59
I mean, genocide is the total erasure of not just the human
56:03
beings, but also the history. People are in the Israel lobby
56:08
are determined to claim that Palestine never existed.
56:13
Of course, it was part of the Ottoman Empire that the
56:15
Palestine Mandate. You can see passports.
56:19
I mean, in fact, even golden my ear, the former Prime Minister
56:22
of Israel admitted that she was born in Palestine.
56:25
So it's very, very disappointing to see.
56:28
This seems so petty. But they, you know, they are
56:31
very petty. They, they got some children's
56:35
artwork, children from Gaza's artwork taken down from the
56:39
walls of a hospital. You know, what possible purpose
56:43
does that serve? Wherever possible, Palestinian
56:46
voices are silenced. Brian, put up those pictures of
56:50
the devastation in Gaza, you know, 10s of thousands of people
56:54
killed, no prosecutions. Imagine for a moment that those
56:58
were the pictures of Tel Aviv and there were soldiers from
57:02
whichever countries had perpetrated those atrocities
57:06
running around in Britain. What do you think the news cycle
57:09
would be then? What would politicians be
57:11
saying? What would the Crown Prosecution
57:13
Service be doing? So it's tremendous.
57:15
Double standards here are absolutely appalling and we'll
57:18
talk more about that after the break.
57:20
Any thoughts? Well, I saw and read the article
57:24
about the British Museum and I was immediately curious as to
57:28
what the real power base was that had forced that change and
57:34
my own research quickly suggested that we were coming
57:37
back into links with certainly pro Israeli, pro Zionist
57:43
agendas. We are approaching a really
57:46
dangerous position in this country now because it has
57:50
become very clear. And for me, I highlighted back
57:54
in David Cameron's time that the moment he said publicly that his
57:58
loyalty to Israel was unshakable, it meant that the
58:02
Prime Minister himself, and therefore presumably the whole
58:06
of his his cabinet and power base was loyal to another
58:11
country. And therefore UK and existing
58:15
citizens of whatever creed and colour came second.
58:18
And I think we are now well beyond that because we've seen
58:22
successive prime ministers, Keir Starmer is another one, but also
58:28
senior politicians declaring loyalty to another country,
58:32
namely Israel, where whereby they're saying to all the rest
58:36
of us you, you'll just get what we, we tell you.
58:40
It's, it's outrageous. If the other country was Italy
58:44
instead of Israel, people would very quickly be pushing back.
58:49
But it seems at the moment that we no longer live in a free UK.
58:54
We we've got a foreign power which is now close, closely
58:59
controlling not only foreign policy but policy in the
59:02
country. And as I say this, I'd never
59:05
have believed 20 years ago that my research and obviously all
59:09
the research and many other people into this issue would
59:12
have led me to feel very comfortable in making this
59:15
statement. We need to pay attention to who
59:19
these people are and what their real agenda is.
59:22
OK, let's end on a lighter note then and bring a comment from
59:27
the real Donald Trump on screen because he's saying that based
59:30
on the tremendous interest shown, I will be directing the
59:33
Secretary of War and other relevant departments and
59:36
agencies to begin the process of identifying and releasing
59:39
government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life,
59:43
unidentified aerial phenomena and unidentified flying objects
59:47
and any and all other information collected to these
59:50
connected to these highly complex but extremely
59:53
interesting and important matters.
59:56
So I have to say, Brian, you know, after all this time and
1:00:01
the the all the potential that this issue was going to be
1:00:05
thrown up in our faces in order to.
1:00:08
Justify all kinds of moves towards globalism and globalist
1:00:13
agendas that it's it seems to be actually happening at this
1:00:17
point. Well, and of course, under the
1:00:19
cloud of Epstein, today is a good day to very bad news.
1:00:23
So we're just playing with the public's mind.
1:00:27
Within military circles, data has been collected on UFOs, on
1:00:32
unidentified flying objects for years, carefully logged because
1:00:37
sightings have occurred on many occasions, particularly from
1:00:40
aircraft, sometimes from ships. And according to the Americans,
1:00:44
they've even had underwater moving objects which they
1:00:48
couldn't identify. So for the military this and and
1:00:52
indeed aviators, this stuff has been recorded for years and it
1:00:56
is what it says. It's events which nobody has a
1:01:00
full explanation for what they are.
1:01:02
However, I take your point Mike that this is now thrown into the
1:01:06
public mix. We even have a bomb are getting
1:01:09
excited apparently about aliens which he believes exist,
1:01:12
although he doesn't produce any evidence to back up his claim.
1:01:16
What's this doing playing with the public psyche while we can
1:01:20
drive the the war into Ukraine and elsewhere?
1:01:23
So the question is, will these files, if they are released, be
1:01:26
as heavily redacted as the Epstein files?
1:01:29
That's probably probably not mine, but I just want to.
1:01:32
Yeah. Well, I just want to highlight
1:01:33
two discussions that I had with Matt Errol on this.
1:01:36
One called the British origins of the UFO S IOP and the other
1:01:40
one called the New Age of Sorcerers, UFOs, MK Ultra and
1:01:44
the Cold War. Now we can talk more in extra
1:01:48
about the sightings that Brian is talking about.
1:01:51
But at the same time and in parallel with that, we have had
1:01:54
this massive propaganda campaign going on.
1:01:57
And that's what these two discussions are are talking
1:01:59
about. So you haven't watched either of
1:02:00
those yet. I urge you to.
1:02:03
But look, we've got to leave it there for today.
1:02:05
So thank you very much to Basil and Brian and everybody that's
1:02:08
watched. Have a great weekend.
1:02:10
Don't forget Germ tonight with Charles and myself.
1:02:14
We will see you at 1:00 PM as usual on Monday.
1:02:17
See you then. Bye bye.
