- 0:08Speaker 1: Good afternoon. It's Friday, the second of August twenty twenty four,
- 0:11just after one o'clock. Welcome to UK column News. I'm
- 0:14your host Make Robinson joining me today by video link.
- 0:16We have Mark Anderson from the United States and Debbie Evans.
- 0:19Welcome to the program both. Now we're going to get
- 0:22started off with Keir Starmer's announcement yesterday of a new
- 0:27aspect of policing in the UK that follows on from
- 0:30the violence that there's been on the streets over the
- 0:32last few days. Let's have a listen to this.
- 0:36Speaker 2: A gang of thugs got on trains and buses, went
- 0:40to a community that is not their own, a community
- 0:44grieving the most horrific tragedy, and then proceeded to throw
- 0:50bricks at police officers, police officers who just twenty four
- 0:56hours earlier had been having to deal with an attack
- 1:02on children in their community, their community. And let me
- 1:07be clear, the meeting this afternoon was not about pointing
- 1:13the finger of blame. That is not how this government
- 1:17of service conducts its business, because it doesn't work.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Rather, this was a.
- 1:25Speaker 2: Meeting to pull together our response, a response both to
- 1:30the immediate challenge, which is clearly driven by far right hatred,
- 1:35but also all violent disorder that flares up, whatever the
- 1:39apparent cause or motivation, we.
- 1:42Speaker 3: Make no distinction.
- 1:44Speaker 2: Crime is crime, and so to that end, I can
- 1:49announce today that following this meeting, we will establish a
- 1:52national capability a cross police forces to tackle violent disorder.
- 1:58These thugs a mobile, well, they move from community to community,
- 2:03and we must have a policing response that can do
- 2:06the same.
- 2:09Speaker 1: So a new policing response responds to deal with this
- 2:12kind of violent behavior. They're talking about local insight and
- 2:16data being used to gain a national understanding of where
- 2:19these criminals are operating, including the British Transport Police alerting
- 2:23when they see a spike entryin ticket sales that could
- 2:26be linked to organized violent disorder. They're talking about it
- 2:29considering how we can deploy facial recognition technology, which is
- 2:33already used by some forces more widely across the country.
- 2:36This will mean criminals can be targeted, find and brought
- 2:39to justice quickly. Now, a lot of people were unhappy
- 2:43with what was presented by Charles on Wednesday's program, and
- 2:47perhaps what I'm about to present isn't going to make
- 2:49it any happier because we've got to ask ourselves some
- 2:51serious questions here. The government has responded in this way
- 2:56to what has happened over the last couple of days,
- 2:58or at least this is their they're claiming that this
- 3:01is a response, a direct response to what has happened
- 3:04over the last couple of days. I would suggest to
- 3:06you that actually this is something which has been building
- 3:09up for much much longer. If we go back to
- 3:12twenty seventeen, the UK column was reporting this is Sajid Javid,
- 3:18and he was saying at that time ISIS and right
- 3:21wing extremists both exploit grievances, distort the truth, and undermine
- 3:26the values that hold us together. And this perhaps might
- 3:29seem ironic in some ways that the UK government of
- 3:33the day was attempting to conflate ISIS terrorists with far
- 3:38right extremists. This was twenty seventeen or so we were
- 3:42starting to see this narrative of the rise of far
- 3:45right extremists starting to build in the mainstream political and
- 3:49media narrative. But if we bring him back on screen
- 3:53again and then move to Nick Bassu, who was at
- 3:58that time they met Metropolitan Police kind of terrorism assistant commissioner.
- 4:02He said, I'm worried that the radicalization of some of
- 4:04the most vulnerable people in our society, namely our children,
- 4:08is happening both from the Islamist and extreme right wing ideologies.
- 4:13And again we're saying the same narrative, this conflation of
- 4:17left and right, or percept perception of left and right
- 4:21terrorism in the West said to Henry Jackson, society and
- 4:24age of extremes, a new pattern of far right offenders
- 4:27emulating or copying the tactics of high profile Islamist assailants.
- 4:32And we start to see this narrative being built. It's
- 4:36not organic, it's not happening, it's not grassroots, it's being
- 4:39created by the state. We start to see in the
- 4:44Times Tory turmoil could lead to a far right revival
- 4:49over the overt message here if we look at the text,
- 4:51the return to dominance of the two main parties, which
- 4:54saw Labor and the Conservatives share right any percent of
- 4:56the vote, was one of the most surprising consequences of
- 4:59the referendum years ago. It left many in the center
- 5:03ground pining for a new party. So this is from
- 5:06twenty eighteen and they're talking about a new extreme right
- 5:10wing party appearing and of course that's exactly what has happened.
- 5:13The Reform Party has appeared. It's mainstream, it's right wing,
- 5:18it has taken over a certain amount of the narrative
- 5:21from the Conservative Party. And my question is was that
- 5:24something which happened organically or was that something that was arranged.
- 5:28In the meantime, we started to see the propaganda so
- 5:33apps coming out from various police forces around the country
- 5:36across the line how far would you go? This was
- 5:38targeted at the young, all designed to an inverted commas
- 5:42prevent the rise of right wing extremism, when in fact
- 5:46what it was intended to do was the exact opposite.
- 5:48We started to be bombarded with mainstream media headlines Boris
- 5:53Johnson being spineless about not dealing with the burgher ray
- 5:57at the time the Daily Telegraph Johnson refus uses to
- 6:00back down on Burgers. In the meantime, we have burgeoning
- 6:04immigration and the collapse of our infrastructure putting pressure more
- 6:08pressure on people. The NHS is collapsing, collapsing, leading at
- 6:12leading medic warns Thames Water, Sunak and Starmer will both
- 6:16be dreading the most likely option for utility at risk
- 6:19of collapse, and this is right across the country. Other headlines,
- 6:22how do we tackle the UK's housing crisis? So at
- 6:25the same time that they're pumping up migration, and let's
- 6:28just remind ourselves of this graph. You know one point
- 6:32two million people coming into the country in twenty twenty
- 6:34three and five hundred thousand people leaving the country in
- 6:38twenty twenty three, so significant net migration putting pressure on
- 6:43while the government is allowing infrastructure collapse. This of course
- 6:46puts people in a state of stress and they start
- 6:52looking for leaders. And the question then is what kind
- 6:55of leaders do they migrate too. Well, let's bring one
- 6:58of them on screen.
- 7:01Speaker 4: When you see these communities and you see these houses,
- 7:03you think this is a British community or you might
- 7:05have British Muslims. They are enemy combatants in these houses.
- 7:09In these houses are enemy combatants who want to kill you,
- 7:12maim you, and destroy you. They want to destroy our
- 7:14way of life.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Now that's not a peaceful narrative there. This is absolute
- 7:22class of civilizations narrative that was being pushed out. And
- 7:27who is behind the class of civilizations ideology? You need
- 7:31to look into that when we start looking at other leaders.
- 7:35Let's look at Tommy Robinson Light. So here's Starmer standing
- 7:39in front of his double cross there, and this morning,
- 7:42who did we have also in front of his double
- 7:45cross virtue signaling? Is he? What's he telling us here?
- 7:49I'm going to suggest that we are being played and
- 7:52when we're looking as members of society and citizens and
- 7:55whatnot for people to lead, we've got to be careful
- 7:58about who it is that we are asking to lead.
- 8:02Now the next point, here's the metro from a few
- 8:05years ago London police take the knee with Black Lives
- 8:08Matter protests. Does anybody think that this was by accident?
- 8:12What was this design to do? It was designed to
- 8:15enrage a certain part of the population. In fact, it
- 8:17was designle to suggest it was designed to radicalize a
- 8:21certain part of the population and drive people towards the
- 8:24right wing extreme. This is building the right wing extreme
- 8:28in my opinion. Then, over the last couple of days
- 8:33we've seen this as the Palestine protests have seen other
- 8:37influences begin to move in. Brian and I visited and
- 8:41Ben as well visited the Palestine protests some months ago,
- 8:44and we found it to be extremely peaceful, extremely decent
- 8:47people in general. But now we're starting to see this.
- 8:51And if we just zoom in on the flag and
- 8:52the left here, well, first of all, Alan Miller saying
- 8:55Isis and Hamas flags. Well, let's look at the ISIS flag,
- 8:59and the left's not the nicest flag, it's an al
- 9:01Qaeda flag. But we've got somebody who's masked up there
- 9:05with a red bandana and carrying the flag. Who is
- 9:10this person? What's he doing there? Is he a genuine
- 9:15pro Palestine protester? I would suggest he is not, because
- 9:19if we look at where that flag comes from, this
- 9:22is the Syrian Revolution Memory Project, and of course this
- 9:28is the terrorist groups that the British government funded in Syria,
- 9:34the anti Asad terrorist groups that the British government funded
- 9:37in Syria. Now on the streets of Britain in amongst
- 9:40people protesting what's going on in Gaza, but these people
- 9:44were funded by the British state in Syria, and these
- 9:49people have made death threats against Vanessa Billi, amongst others.
- 9:52So these are not good people. They're not. And my
- 9:56question therefore is what are they doing amongst this protest?
- 9:59Are they there to wind up a certain section of
- 10:02the society? And I would just make the point that
- 10:04if we remember this piece of legislation which is now
- 10:07an Act of Parliament, the Covert Human Intelligence Sources Criminal
- 10:11Conduct Bill, and we have to ask ourselves if we
- 10:14are living in a regime where the government is prepared
- 10:18to say that an agent of the state is able
- 10:22to commit breaches of the laws, to be able to
- 10:24break the law, then to what degree does that end?
- 10:27Where does that end? There's no limitation on these covert
- 10:30intelligence sources the kinds of laws that they can break.
- 10:35So would it be beyond the British government to be
- 10:38running a psychological operation on us? Let's not forget this,
- 10:42Lady Juliette Harkin, formerly BBC Media Action talking about their
- 10:46efforts to bring opposition onto the streets in Syria. Again,
- 10:53is this the kind of thing that we would not
- 10:55also see in this country? And let me remind you
- 10:57about the integrated operating concept, which is Ministry of Defense
- 11:01doctrine in the UK, making it very clear that the
- 11:04enemy is not just abroad, it's also at home. We
- 11:08are being played. So I'm going to say that if
- 11:11we think, if we're going to focus on the enemy
- 11:13as being this lot on the left, we are looking
- 11:17at a symptom, and that is the wrong target. We
- 11:20need to be focusing on the enemy on the right
- 11:23because this is the disease that is bringing people into
- 11:26the country and the numbers that they're coming into. And
- 11:30there are a number of voices in this country that
- 11:33are operating on behalf of the problem on the right.
- 11:36There because the people that are reacting to those people
- 11:41in the way that they are are giving Keir Starmer
- 11:44and his state infrastructure the go ahead therefore to bring
- 11:50in more and more to Corneian rules, which is supposed
- 11:52to be what we're fighting against in the first place.
- 11:54I'm starting to see things like this on X The
- 11:58lion had a little growl yesterday. Wait till that f
- 12:01in roars. If the line roars in a violent way,
- 12:05we are playing into the hands of the state. There
- 12:08are other ways to deal with this, For example, stop
- 12:12funding the state. That might be a place to start.
- 12:14That's a peaceful action that can be taken. Stop funding
- 12:17the state and they will get the state's attention very quickly.
- 12:21There is no need to go around destroying our own
- 12:24communities in frustration at what's going on around us. And
- 12:28I completely understand and get the frustration, and I understand
- 12:31why the narrative that Tommy Robinson and people like that
- 12:35would put forward, it would be attractive to people. But
- 12:38I strongly urge that we consider what is happening here
- 12:42and how we are being played. And that's my thoughts
- 12:46on this, debbie. Have you got any comments? Do you
- 12:50disagree with me? I'm quite happy if people disagree with me.
- 12:53You can fight me in the comments and in the
- 12:55chat box, in the forums and on YouTube and so on.
- 12:58But what are your thoughts on this?
- 13:01Speaker 3: Oh?
- 13:01Speaker 5: Well, good afternoon everybody, And no, I agree with you, Mike,
- 13:04and I think that this is a deliberate attempt by
- 13:07Keir Starmer to disrupt the British public, to make them angry.
- 13:11Of course they're angry, of course the British public are angry.
- 13:14But he wants he wants us to be angry. He
- 13:16wants division, he wants any excuse to come down hard.
- 13:20And we said that change was going to be happening,
- 13:23and he's only been in government four weeks and I'd say,
- 13:25already we're starting to see that. And isn't he the
- 13:27Prime minister that wants to let out loads of prisoners
- 13:30out of prison?
- 13:31Speaker 3: Early.
- 13:33Speaker 5: Is that to disrupt perhaps.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Very good question. What happens when we start, Well, we
- 13:39can talk about that more an extra but Debbie, let's
- 13:42move on then to well some o of the future. Now,
- 13:46this is something that you've talked about and I've talked
- 13:48about in the past, but many people aren't even aware
- 13:50of that this perhaps is even more egregious than the
- 13:55World Health Organization and their efforts undermining stid sovereignty.
- 14:02Speaker 5: Yes, it really really is. And happy holidays to everybody
- 14:06if you're out and about enjoying the fine weather, because
- 14:09behind the scenes there's plenty going on, and parliaments out,
- 14:13schools out. Everybody's maybe on holiday watching the Olympics, but
- 14:18what is going on behind the scenes. And even actually
- 14:20in February, on Valentine's Day, February fourteenth, I was talking
- 14:25about the Summit for the Future, and I was warning
- 14:28about it, and I want to revisit it now because
- 14:30we'd be looking at two words, in particular your two
- 14:33new buzzwords, which will be peace and security. But that
- 14:36really doesn't mean what it says. So let's remind ourselves
- 14:40that the Great Reset started with Prince Charles back in
- 14:43twenty twenty one when he announced it at the World's
- 14:47Economic Forum. So this was, in my opinion, the first
- 14:51phase of the Great Reset. And I've been looking at
- 14:55all of these summits and I thought, well, actually, what
- 14:57does the word summit mean? So this is what the
- 15:00word summit means. It means the highest point, you know,
- 15:03somewhere like Everest, the top most level attainable, the highest
- 15:07level of officials, a conference of highest level officials such
- 15:12as heads of government. So we know that this is
- 15:15a high level meeting. So I went to the Council
- 15:19of Councils and ironically, the Council of Councils is actually
- 15:24it's been created by the Council on Foreign Relations. What
- 15:28was a surprise. But it's a think tank and it
- 15:30serves to facilitate dialogue between twenty seven major policy institutes
- 15:35from the world's most influential countries. And it publishes a
- 15:38nice handy guide as the global summits we should be
- 15:41looking out for. So here's the guide. This if you
- 15:44want to go online and look for the guide, you
- 15:47can see. I think that's yes, that's it. Global summits
- 15:49to watch in twenty twenty four. So which ones do
- 15:52we need to watch in twenty twenty four. We've already
- 15:55had a few of which we've discussed earlier on in
- 15:57the year, but these are the ones I want to
- 15:59focus on in particular. So in September we've got the
- 16:02Summit of the Future. In October we've got Bricks and
- 16:06that's going to be chaired by Russia in October, and
- 16:10we've got the World Health Summit, which will come on
- 16:12to later in the news. And in November we've got
- 16:14COP twenty nine and G twenty So we've got a
- 16:17very busy eight weeks of high level meetings and decision makers.
- 16:22So let's start at September twenty twenty four because the
- 16:25Summit for the Future is really important and they've already
- 16:29called to arms, you know, urgent call to countries to
- 16:32accelerate the delivery of the sustainable goals. Well I call
- 16:35them unsustainable quite frankly. But why why are they in
- 16:39such a rush? Well they're blaming conflicts like Ukraine and
- 16:43Israel for a delay and so now they've only reached
- 16:46seventeen percent of their goal, so they're way they're falling
- 16:51short big time. So I thought I'd go to the
- 16:53World Economic Forum, like you do to check what they're saying,
- 16:56and they seem to be referring to the Summit of
- 16:58the Future. And thank you the person on Twitter who
- 17:01said to me, oh, no, you're using Jonathan Van TAM's analogy. Now,
- 17:04I promise you I'm not. I'm using the World Economic
- 17:07Forum who refer to the Summit of the Future as
- 17:10a football match, and they reckon now that they need
- 17:13to go back to the locker room. They need to
- 17:15restrategize because the game is going to be lost or
- 17:18won in the second half. And they they stress the
- 17:22importance of this summit. But what's it all about because
- 17:26they call it multilateralism, that's the name that they actually
- 17:31call it. But in my terms, this means global governance.
- 17:36So I've got a little short video just to explain.
- 17:39Have a look at this.
- 18:01Speaker 6: Is the multilateralism we have today, capable of managing the
- 18:05global challenges we're experiencing.
- 18:09Speaker 7: Welcome to the U and Laverin and Archives Geneva. We're
- 18:12here at the Commons, our space for sharing knowledge and
- 18:14debating questions on multilateralism. This is the journey to the
- 18:19Summit of the Future. In the lead up to this
- 18:21unique UAN meeting, in twenty twenty four, we're exploring with
- 18:25experts the questions we should be asking to ensure effective
- 18:29and inclusive multilateralism for today and.
- 18:32Speaker 3: For the future.
- 18:33Speaker 6: In his Report Our Common Agenda, the UN Secretary General
- 18:36called for the Summit of the Future as a critical
- 18:39moment for members of the UN to consider how to
- 18:42build more effective global governance capable of dealing with today's
- 18:46challenges and those to come. The Summit is expected to
- 18:50create a new Pact for the future and revive global
- 18:53solidarity for current and future generations.
- 18:57Speaker 7: So through this playlist, we're talking with experts pretictioners in
- 19:01the leader to.
- 19:02Speaker 6: The Summit, and these conversations explore the ideas raised in
- 19:06the Secretary General's policy Briefs as well as the proposals
- 19:10from the report of the High Level Advisory Board on
- 19:13Effective Multilateralism.
- 19:15Speaker 7: What kind of multilateralism do we need for our future?
- 19:24Speaker 5: So let's return to the United Nations themselves and look
- 19:30at the next chapter. So they have now published the
- 19:34next chapter where they're predicting their eighty percent of the
- 19:37world's young of world's young people will all live in
- 19:40Africa and Asia by twenty one hundred, So that's a
- 19:44pretty big ambition. But what are their key messages. Their
- 19:46key messages are to prioritize young people, to let the
- 19:50young lead the way. That's if they're not bumping into
- 19:53lamp posts absorbed by their phones. I should add, they
- 19:55want you to act now for the future, to ditch
- 19:58the pessimism, embrace the current courage. It's all about sustainable
- 20:02goals that, in my opinion, and this is my opinion,
- 20:05that are unsustainable. And it's very generation centric, cover all generations.
- 20:09But what's the Pact for the future, Because you know,
- 20:12the Pact for the Future is a pact, so I
- 20:16looked very closely at it and it seems to be
- 20:18a global courter action for peace and security. So peace
- 20:22in my language means your silence and censorship, and security
- 20:26means their security. We get tracked and trace. But it's
- 20:29looking at the sustainable goals, financing for development, it's looking
- 20:34at tech innovation, digital cooperation, the youth again. And we've
- 20:39got two annexes there, the Global Compact, the Global Compact
- 20:42Declaration and the Declaration of Future Generations. I'll come onto
- 20:46that in a minute. But we've also got an engine
- 20:49room for the young. So we've got an engine room
- 20:52youth survey where it would appeal. It would appear that
- 20:55the young are quite happy to be taxed on luxury
- 20:58items for the good of the planets. So you know,
- 21:00you can't have a plane ticket without extra tax because
- 21:03that goes to the planet. They want to create a
- 21:05platform for young dreamers and you can be a guardian
- 21:09of tomorrow. And apparently Whales have already got a Commissioner
- 21:11for future generations. But they've got three more aims as well.
- 21:15And their three aims are Global Digital Compact, which is
- 21:20basically military applications of artificial intelligence. They want a special
- 21:25envoy for future generations, and an emergency platform which really
- 21:29covers all bases and puts all member states into lockstep,
- 21:33depending on whether it's a health emergency, whether it's a
- 21:37cyber emergency, whatever it is. But what's the future beyond
- 21:40twenty twenty four. They've got a little roadmap, and here's
- 21:43the little roadmap. So we're looking at Beijing thirty, the
- 21:48World Social Summit, that's the news of its own COP thirty,
- 21:51and the twenty twenty seven SDG Summit, which is going
- 21:55to be the last checkpoint between the twenty thirty agender.
- 21:58So that's why they are in a rush. And I've
- 22:01got one little bit more video very quickly to show you,
- 22:04which is about the Summit of the Future.
- 22:09Speaker 8: The summat of the Future is about how we cooperate
- 22:11at the global level to solve our biggest shared problems,
- 22:14and that includes the problem of not having implemented and
- 22:18not having reached some of the goals that we've already agreed,
- 22:21including the Sustainable Development Goals, the Principles of the UN Charter,
- 22:25the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Paris Agreement on
- 22:27Climate Change, and so many other goals and agreements that
- 22:31we've already reached that would really deliver the future we want.
- 22:35But it's also about how we cooperate to address the
- 22:39new opportunities fast developing digital technology such as AI, and
- 22:44how we minimize the risks of some of those developments.
- 22:47It's about how we solve problems at the global level,
- 22:49how we work together, and how we deliver a future
- 22:52that is fairer, more sustainable, and better for all of
- 22:55humanity and not just the few who benefit these days
- 22:58from these developments.
- 23:02Speaker 5: So this is a big summit with a bigger gender
- 23:05that will mean big changes for us all, and the
- 23:08next few slides, I'm just going to ask you all
- 23:10to go to the website and freeze the screen if necessary,
- 23:14because there's a lot of details, so I just want
- 23:15to illustrate what they're doing. So this is the Summit
- 23:18of the Future website, to be held twenty to twenty
- 23:21third of September over the Equinoxus. Stephanie very kindly reminded
- 23:27me it's been presented as a once in a lifetime,
- 23:30a generation opportunity to mend trust. And there's a lovely
- 23:35picture of a mural there. I thought Ben might like
- 23:37to do a little bit more research in. It's the
- 23:40Eduardo Colcobra mural and it's got lots of symbology. So
- 23:45here's the provisional program, and I just ask you to
- 23:47freeze the screen. So here we have Sunday's program and
- 23:51we can see they're talking about peace and security. And
- 23:53here we go not acceleration anymore with turbo charging, and
- 23:57they use the word turbo charging all the time, charging
- 24:00the twenty thirty ath gender. Here's the Monday provisional program
- 24:06and you can see the future starts now and common
- 24:08digital future. And then I'll just show you some screenshots
- 24:12of the Pact for the Future, which is a declaration,
- 24:16and please look out for the Pact of the Future
- 24:18because that's going to have many more details in it,
- 24:21and you can see the actions on the next slide
- 24:24I've highlighted. I'm not going to read them all out,
- 24:26but please go and have a look because this is
- 24:29what is heading our way, turbo charging again and in
- 24:34an area of peace and security. There's a whole chapter
- 24:38designed to that to make us feel safe, but they're
- 24:41looking at new forms of conflict. And here are the
- 24:44declarations themselves. So we've got the Future Generations Declaration first.
- 24:49Secondly we've got the draft Digital Compact Declaration, which means
- 24:54basically that digitization will transform the world. And of course
- 24:59finally to end up the UK, we are fully in
- 25:02support of it multilateralism and we're really looking forward to
- 25:06the Summit of the Future. And to anybody that wants
- 25:08to read a little bit more about the United Nations,
- 25:10I thoroughly recommend Joan beyond the United Nations Global strait Jackets.
- 25:16Speaker 1: Thank you, Debbie, thank you very much for that. Mark.
- 25:19Let's welcome to the program. And if Debbie's talking about
- 25:23what the United Nations is doing with their summits. There've
- 25:26been on their summits taking place as well.
- 25:30Speaker 9: Indeed, my good day everyone. Yeah, the Sovereignty Summit too
- 25:35took place this past Monday. I was able to cover
- 25:38just part of it, so I took some original photos
- 25:41via screenshot. This is Frank Gaffney, the co founder of
- 25:44the Sovereignty Coalition and executive chairman of the Center for
- 25:48Security Policy. And they have a pretty solid outlook in
- 25:52terms of being on the lookout for the avian or
- 25:55bird flu H five N one, whatever is going to
- 25:58become the next pandemic. They're getting out all the legal
- 26:02guns they can, all the intellectual arguments they can, trying
- 26:05to reinforce US sovereignty for the next pandemic. So they
- 26:09seem to be very proactive, which is reassuring to a point.
- 26:13Here we show Representative Ralph Norman, a Congressman, a Republican
- 26:17and out of South Carolina. And the part I covered
- 26:20mainly had to do with a bill that's languishing a bit.
- 26:24House Resolution fourteen twenty five would authorize the US Senate
- 26:27to treat both the WHO Pandemic Treaty and the associated
- 26:31International Health regulations, both as treaties. The problem thus far
- 26:36is that the bill has been dormant parked in the
- 26:38House Foreign Affairs Committee. But it does have fifty nine
- 26:41co sponsors, which is somewhat helpful the way Congress operates.
- 26:45And we'll go on from there. I wrote some news
- 26:47briefs from this event. The bill is called the Know
- 26:52WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act. A bit worthy,
- 26:57but there it is. According to the Library of Congress,
- 26:59which is Congress dot gov. It quote establishes that any
- 27:03convention or agreement on pandemic related issues reached by the
- 27:07whose World Health Assembly pursue it to a specified negotiating body,
- 27:12shall be deemed to be a treaty requiring the advice
- 27:15and consent of the Senate. Constitutionally, that means a two
- 27:19thirds supermajority of those present. That's a caveat would be
- 27:23needed in the Senate to approve US entry into such
- 27:27WHO treaties. And we can keep moving another more, a
- 27:33little bit more text from my news brief. Representative Norman
- 27:37and the Sovereignty Senators mister Gaffney agreed that such a
- 27:40measure should be pursued to secure the principle that the
- 27:42US must not fail to exercise its sovereign treaty powers
- 27:47via the Senate, less the nation become mired and nude
- 27:50draconian health edicts that blind side the citizenry in the
- 27:54same way that the citizenry, don't we all remember it
- 27:57was blindsided by fear infused COVID nineteen edicts back in
- 28:01twenty twenty. Of course, that kind of trapes into twenty
- 28:04twenty one a bit, And there's more points of interest
- 28:09here as we go along. I may not read all
- 28:11of this, but I got this right out of the
- 28:13text of HR fourteen twenty five via Congress dot Gov
- 28:17the Library of Congress. Maybe some of us have forgotten this.
- 28:22Back on May eighteenth of twenty twenty, then President Trump
- 28:25sent a letter to the WHO, sent it to Taedrose,
- 28:29the director general there, and he made a couple of points.
- 28:32The US contributions to the WHO would be halted due
- 28:36to the who's mismanagement of the COVID nineteen outbreak and
- 28:39the lack of independence from the People's Republic of China,
- 28:43that is, the who's lack of independence, And b the
- 28:47US would evidently or as supposedly withdraw from the WHO
- 28:52if the WHOW did not commit to substantive improvements within
- 28:56thirty days. There was another point there. President Trump May
- 29:00eighteen letters cited numerous instances of WHO mismanagement of the
- 29:04COVID nineteen pandemic, and that included a repeated grossly inaccurate
- 29:10or misleading claims about the transmissibility of the virus and
- 29:13about the Government of China's alleged handling of the outbreak.
- 29:17Of course, that's a little bit of a nebulous part
- 29:19of this, but that's right in the bill. So it's
- 29:21a pretty detailed bill that gets into some pretty controversial points.
- 29:26And we'll continue from there. And this is another aspect
- 29:30that I was able to cover that past Monday. Another
- 29:34aspect of it is came from Matt Staver, the Liberty Council,
- 29:38and he spoke as a separate organization that operates a
- 29:42lot or participates a lot with the Sovereignty Coalition, the
- 29:45Liberty Council, and he talked about a law suit the
- 29:48South Bay Pentecostal Church versus Newsom, and an associated suit
- 29:53was Harvest Rock Church versus Newsom, Newsom being Gavin Newsom
- 29:57the governor of California, and mister Staver talked about the
- 30:03decision date. He went back in history a little bit,
- 30:06February fifth, twenty twenty one, and the deciding court was
- 30:09the US Supreme Court. For months, California permitted Hollywood film
- 30:13studios and large retailers to open their doors, but the
- 30:16Golden State cracked down and Harvest or excuse me, houses
- 30:20of worship, preventing them from opening their doors to even
- 30:24a single worshiper. Recognizing this unequal treatment, South Bay United
- 30:29Pentecostal Church and Harvest Rock Church sued California asking that
- 30:33religious worship be treated at least as well as these
- 30:35secular activities. And there was a comparable case involving a
- 30:40Roman Catholic diocese versus Cuomo. So in this aspect of
- 30:46the Sovereignty Coalition program, Mike, they're talking about the Liberty
- 30:51Council being among the organizations that would be very vigilant
- 30:54and battling any further attempts if there's another pandemic declaration
- 30:59to shut down on houses of worship. So all in all,
- 31:02the part that I saw seem to be an indication
- 31:06that there's some pretty vigilant voices out there that are
- 31:10waiting in the wings for any move by Tad Rose
- 31:13and the WHO as they solidified the pandemic treaty and
- 31:19whatever final touches they might do in the international health
- 31:22regulations very vigilant toward any new pandemic and what that
- 31:27crackdown may consist of, so.
- 31:30Speaker 1: They'll be.
- 31:32Speaker 9: I'm trying to get a hold of the video from
- 31:34that program so I can watch more of the participants,
- 31:37including the well known doctor Peter McCullough, and next week,
- 31:40I presume I'll have a little bit more on this
- 31:43to see how that overall event rounded out and what
- 31:46they have in store in terms of preventing the worst
- 31:50effects of another pandemic should it be declared.
- 31:53Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, thank you very much. Mark right. If you
- 31:56like what the UK called does you would like to
- 31:58support us, then please have a look at support dot

- 32:44Still copies available if you would like to get hold
- 32:48of one. If you haven't got it yet, please do so. Debbie,
- 32:52your blog will be up this afternoon. What do we
- 32:54get to look forward to this week?
- 32:58Speaker 5: Well, you get my observations on Paris twenty twenty four
- 33:02opening ceremony. Maybe there's some things in there that perhaps
- 33:05you haven't noticed. And who's heard of sippery Stockholm International
- 33:09Peace Research Institute. Perhaps maybe a new segment coming up
- 33:13on that. And also, yeah, Dements, your case is expected
- 33:18to almost triple across the world by twenty fifty. I
- 33:20wonder why that could be. So that and plenty more.
- 33:23Speaker 1: Okay, thank you. A reminder of the Gutsy Woman interview
- 33:28between Brian and the Natasha McCallum that's on the website
- 33:30went at at one pm yesterday of course, but it
- 33:32is up on the website now, So if you haven't
- 33:34seen that yet, do have a look. This was looking
- 33:37at the inside of for Nahiehus and everybody should be
- 33:42aware of that particular campaign that's ongoing at the moment
- 33:45to get the women that were apparently abused in for
- 33:49nehie Hus some justice. Finally, I just mentioned the October event.
- 33:54Nineteenth of October twenty twenty four. The tickets are on
- 33:57sale night at the UK column Shop. We hope to
- 34:00see as many of you there as possible. Please pick
- 34:04up your ticket there on sale at an early bird
- 34:06price at the moment. Please have a look and decide
- 34:09if you want to come. We look forward to meeting
- 34:11everybody that's there. Now, let's have a look at the
- 34:15war situation at the moment, and will you be impressed
- 34:18to know that Ukraine has taken delivery if it's first
- 34:22f sixteen's allegedly lots of mainstream media talking about this
- 34:26at the moment, but mostly relying on unnamed sources. We're
- 34:31not clear at this point whether any of them will
- 34:33actually take to the air, whether they're in Ukrainian airspace,
- 34:37or who will be piloting them. In fact, because of
- 34:40course the Ukrainians don't have anybody that can fly them
- 34:42at this stage, and won't have for quite some time.
- 34:46But in the meantime, this article, this is an opinion
- 34:50piece in the New York Times. Only a strong US
- 34:53noe Israel will stop war eleven And in fact, the
- 34:56print version of this uses the word total, So we'll
- 34:59stop total war in Lebanon. In fact, total regional wars
- 35:03what this is talking about. So if we just have
- 35:05a look at what they're saying here, if Israel goes
- 35:08further and launches a major operation to uproot Hasbla, which
- 35:11right wing members of Prime Minister and now whose government
- 35:14have been urging, it would be devastating. And they're talking
- 35:17about economic collapse, humanitarian crisis, and the increasing likelihood of
- 35:23attacks in Syria, in Iraq, Yemen and so on. So
- 35:28the broadening of the conflict. None of this is in
- 35:32the United States interest, says this o ED, while making
- 35:36clear that it would continue to defend Israel against direct
- 35:39attacks by Iran. Hesbil's patron Washington needs to make clear
- 35:43to Israel that it will not sanction such a war
- 35:45or facilitated by supplying munitions, joining the Israeli military and
- 35:50attacks against Hasbela or providing diplomatic cover for the deaths
- 35:55of civilian So if that is the position of the
- 35:57opinion piece in the New York Times that the should
- 36:02be absolutely pushing against Israel on this, I wonder what
- 36:06the opinion of the new or the potential new Vice
- 36:10president is. Because Mark was talking about JD. Ve Ants
- 36:14last week, let's just have a listen to this. This
- 36:17is from the Cato Institute a couple of months ago
- 36:20when he was speaking.
- 36:23Speaker 10: There's another reason, actually motivated by my view that America
- 36:27can't do everything. We sort of ask ourselves what do
- 36:30we want out of our Israeli allies, and more importantly,
- 36:33what do we want out of all of our allies
- 36:34for at large? Do we want clients who depend on us,
- 36:38who can't do anything without us, or do we want
- 36:41real allies who can actually advance their interests. So my
- 36:45biggest criticism of our approach in Ukraine is that it
- 36:49has no strategic end in sight and it's not leading
- 36:52anywhere that's going to ultimately be good for our country.
- 36:54We are subsidizing the Europeans to do nothing. The Europeans
- 36:58are not carrying their fair the burden, especially when it
- 37:01comes in provision of weapons and their own and they're
- 37:04de industrializing their own country at the same time that
- 37:08they say that Putin must be defeated at all costs.
- 37:11But I actually think that Washington, at least current Washington leadership,
- 37:14really likes the fact that the Europeans are completely dependent
- 37:18on us. That's not an alliance. These people aren't increasingly allies.
- 37:23They are client states of the United States of America
- 37:26who do whatever we want them to do. Why, I
- 37:28think we have a real opportunity to ensure that Israel
- 37:31is an ally in the true sense that it's going
- 37:34to pursue their interests, and sometimes those interests won't totally
- 37:37overlap with the United States, and that's totally reasonable. But
- 37:39they are fundamentally self sufficient. And I think the way
- 37:42that we get there in Israel is actually by combining
- 37:46the Abraham Accord's approach with the defeat of Hamas. That
- 37:50gets us to a place where Israel and the Sunny
- 37:52Nations can play a regional counterweight to Iran. Again, we
- 37:56don't want a broader regional war. We don't want to
- 37:59get involved in a regional war. The best way to
- 38:02do that is to ensure that Israel, with the Sunni Nations,
- 38:05can actually police their own region of the world, and
- 38:09that allows us to spend less time and less resources
- 38:11on the Middle East and focus more on East Asia.
- 38:15And the same way that we want our own allies
- 38:18to do the job in Europe so that we can
- 38:21focus on East Asia. I think that the same is
- 38:23true of the Sunny Nations in Israel in the Middle East.
- 38:25We want to focus more on East Asia.
- 38:29Speaker 1: So that should be absolutely clear to everybody. And actually,
- 38:31this narrative is pretty much what Trump was pushing while
- 38:35he was president. If you remember him attending the inauguration
- 38:39of the new NITTO headquarters in Brussels in twenty eighteen
- 38:43or so, and he was talking about the fact that
- 38:46Europe was not paying its way and so on. But so,
- 38:49what Jada Vans is saying there, very very clearly, is
- 38:53that the United States wants Europe to deal with Putin,
- 38:55wants Israel to deal with Iran so that it can
- 38:58deal with China. So you know, they're they're very He
- 39:01was very clear there that that they He wasn't saying
- 39:05that they didn't want a regional war in the Middle East.
- 39:07He was saying they don't want to be involved in
- 39:09the regional war in the in the Middle East because
- 39:10they want to focus on Asia. Right, So, I think
- 39:14that is pretty clear what he's saying. This is what
- 39:17the Trump presidency, should he become a president, is going
- 39:21to represent. Mark very briefly, I don't know if you've
- 39:23got any thoughts on that.
- 39:26Speaker 9: Yeah, briefly, Mike, I like what I hear. For the
- 39:30most part, I'm hearing an increasingly non interventionist what used
- 39:34to be insulted as a isolationist stance, but a non
- 39:38interventionist stance at least to a reasonable degree. And I
- 39:42like his distinction between client and an ally. A real
- 39:45ally can stand on their own two feet, love him
- 39:49or hate him, But a client or less than that
- 39:52is an overly dependent other nation that is going to
- 39:56go the wrong way and then increasingly lean on the
- 39:59US tax. So compared to past administrations, mister Vance is
- 40:03sounding pretty promising on a scale of one to five,
- 40:07with a five being pretty good. I give him at
- 40:09least a three and a half, maybe a four at
- 40:11this point.
- 40:12Speaker 1: Right, Well, we can talk about this more an extra
- 40:14but I'm going to say I completely disagree with you
- 40:15all that but we'll talk about more on that. An
- 40:18extra in the meantime, what's going on in Russia or
- 40:22with Russia and Africa.
- 40:26Speaker 9: Oh, yes, the Valde Discussion Club, they don't get a
- 40:31lot of press. I don't know in terms of the
- 40:33alternative media. I don't know, Mike if Uk column over
- 40:37a longer period. I've been on board, most recently about
- 40:40two years. I don't know if you've given much to
- 40:42the Valde Discussion Club. But this is sort of an overview,
- 40:46kind of a straightforward report for today, the Russia Africa
- 40:51cooperation outlook and objectives. They've had a lot of meetings lately,
- 40:57most recently in latter July, and it has to do
- 41:01with Bricks. Bricks is involved in this, but we'll move
- 41:03on and just kind of do an overview of what's
- 41:06been going on. Another news brief I wrote for today's report,
- 41:10the Ten Bricks Nations Political and business affairs. BRICKS calls
- 41:14itself an inner governmental organization and includes Brazil, Russia, China,
- 41:18Iran and Saudi Arabia are often worked out at the
- 41:22Valdai Discussion Club, a Moscow based think tank and discussion
- 41:25forum frequented by Russian President Vladimir Putin. On March eighteenth
- 41:30of this year, the Valde Club hosted an expert discussion
- 41:34dedicated to the financial settlements of the Bricks countries. But
- 41:37then the club went on to hold a major conference,
- 41:40the first one on African soil in Tanzania on July
- 41:44twenty four this year. That event's development was significantly influenced
- 41:48by the expansion of Bricks this year, which, in addition
- 41:52to South Africa, added also Egypt and Ethiopia. Thus, key
- 41:55African countries are receiving additional representation in the Brick structure
- 42:00that determines what are called quote the general principles of
- 42:04the countries of the global Non West and South regarding
- 42:08world politics and economics, as organizers of the July twenty
- 42:12fourth event explained, adding that the conference considered the following
- 42:16topics and we have a few bullet points. Economic cooperation
- 42:19between Russia and African countries and their shared values. I'm
- 42:23not sure exactly what those values are at this point.
- 42:26The role of media in their promotion and cultural cooperation.
- 42:30I would wonder which media and in what way the
- 42:34approaches of the participating countries quote to the problem of
- 42:37climate change, a connection with a social agenda, and it's
- 42:41not altogether clear what their view is on climate change.
- 42:44Is it markedly different than the US led unipolar world
- 42:48and tasks for combating world poverty and inequality. I'd like
- 42:53to think that would include serious monetary reform, but we
- 42:56don't know yet. And this is the Ambassador of Russia Tanzania,
- 43:01mister Andre Veticon Veticion. I'm kind of maybe I need
- 43:06Alex here. This is what he had to say. Global politics,
- 43:10the economy, and technological competition will never be the same
- 43:14as before. More countries are striving to strengthen their sovereignty,
- 43:18their self sufficiency, national and cultural identity. The countries of
- 43:22the global South and East are gaining prominence. And I
- 43:25believe we have one more quote from this gentleman. This
- 43:28new political and economic reality now service the foundation for
- 43:32the emerging multipolar and multilateral world order. And this is
- 43:38an inevitable process, he claims. It reflects the cultural and
- 43:42civilizational diversity that is inherently part of humanity, despite all
- 43:47attempts at artificial unification. So he's implying that what the
- 43:52West does through his global governance efforts is in some
- 43:56way artificial. Perhaps he's correct on that. And this is
- 43:59a an associated report by the Valdeta Discussion Club Russia
- 44:04Africa cooperation outlook and objectives, and just some of the contents.
- 44:08Readers can get into the screens there to the screen
- 44:12there and freeze that to see the contents. And this
- 44:15is part of those contents. I highlighted a key part.
- 44:19I'll read the top paragraph only half. Russia Africa relations
- 44:23have become more substantive and regular over the past year,
- 44:26with development strategies, plans, road maps and summit meetings that
- 44:30have become regular despite the challenges, and plans for annual
- 44:33Russia Africa ministerial conferences. And then the highlighted part. A
- 44:38system of Russian African relations is gradually gradually taking shape
- 44:42from chaos, dissonance and competing initiatives. Political signals are increasingly
- 44:48often complemented with practical efforts in various speares. However, there
- 44:52is still room for a closer alignment of Russia's political
- 44:55and economic interests in the region, considering that political dialogue
- 44:59with some countries developing more actively than economic cooperation is
- 45:04so some of us a little dry, but they're obviously
- 45:06trying to make a pretty big stride forward here, Mike.
- 45:10In their version of a world order that is more multipolar,
- 45:15they claim the US part, the US led part, is
- 45:18of course unipolar and artificial and is prone to a
- 45:22lot of manipulation. Some might argue that this is just
- 45:27another dialectic to kind of merge East and West together,
- 45:31and it will bring just another form of global governance
- 45:33that we'll found that we'll find just as equally objectionable
- 45:36as we find the Western lead version. I don't know
- 45:40that it's a deceptive thing like that. That's an argument
- 45:43I've heard. But that's the latest. There'll be more from
- 45:46this group as I sort this out and probably get
- 45:49into that report a little more, perhaps next week or
- 45:52the week after. So with that, I think we're good
- 45:54for today for now.
- 45:57Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, Mark, thanks for that. I mean, let's
- 46:00come back to you then and back on the topic
- 46:03of health and world health.
- 46:07Speaker 5: Yes, but before I but before I talk about worlds health,
- 46:10I just want to add that the MHRA have put
- 46:13the May and July board meeting on YouTube. Please everybody
- 46:18go and click on it, because we really need them
- 46:20to know that we're watching. And it would appear that
- 46:22Dame June is still there, but we'll hold off on
- 46:25that for now. But yeah, back to Future Health, and
- 46:28you know it's all about the future, the future of Britain,
- 46:31Tony Blair, the Future Health, the Summit of the Future.
- 46:35And we're looking at October and I'm going into October
- 46:39and I'm seeing what's going on. Well, we've got Bricks
- 46:41to start off with the Bricks Summit, which I said
- 46:44was going to be shared by Russia. So that's on
- 46:48the twenty second to twenty fourth of October, but just
- 46:50before then, because I do think these eight weeks between
- 46:53September and the end of November are going to be
- 46:56pivotal and they're going to we're going to start seeing
- 46:59a tightening screws on us. So the World Health Summit's
- 47:03thirteenth fifteenth of October in Berlin meant to be building
- 47:07trust for a healthier world. And we've got a huge
- 47:09three hundred and fifty speakers and I'll show you some
- 47:11of those in a minute. Three thousand participants over sixty sessions,
- 47:15and they're going to be looking at women's health, antimicrobial resistance,
- 47:20health around climate shocks, which pretty much includes everything including vaccines,
- 47:25digital health of course, artificial intelligence, and again youth leaders
- 47:30of the future, and just to take you to the
- 47:33website for their future health so you can see where
- 47:36to go. This is the main front page of the website,
- 47:40building trust for a healthier world. But if we go
- 47:43to look at their mission, we can see that again.
- 47:46This they call this a unique platform for global health.
- 47:52I think that's on the next slide. Yeah, is a
- 47:55unique platform where stakeholders, politicians, scientists, the private sector and
- 48:02civil society can all meet to talk about the sustainable
- 48:06development goals. And this is they say political decisions will
- 48:11affect human health and quite clearly that they are wanting
- 48:16to accelerate everything. But if we look at the central topics,
- 48:20the central topics are again we say antimicrobial resistance, artificial intelligence,
- 48:26the youth again, young people, women's health, climate and how
- 48:30climate will affect health. And I just want you to
- 48:33see their program because they've brought out a draft program
- 48:36and this has only just been published. So you can
- 48:40freeze the screen again because there's so much on that
- 48:43you might want to choose a particular session to go
- 48:46and watch, because I do think that this is going
- 48:48to battle. So this is for October and just freeze
- 48:54the screen so you can see the agenda. And then
- 48:55we've also got the fourteenth and the fifteenths so you
- 49:00can see the agendas for both of those days. And
- 49:03who's running it. Well, we've got a gentleman called Axel Priest,
- 49:07who's the World Health Summit President. And I'm just going
- 49:12to highlight a number of the members, not so much
- 49:15by name, but by organizations. So we've got the United
- 49:18Nations participating, the Red Cross, Google Health Welcome the who
- 49:24of course Bill and Melinda Gates as well the usual suspects.
- 49:30And what about their partners, Well, you won't be surprised
- 49:33to see Bill and Milinda Gates or Pfizer, Seppie, the
- 49:38European Commission and Semens, the major partners, premier partners. We've
- 49:43got the Rockefeller Foundation, We've got Bayer, Johnson and Johnson.
- 49:47I mean, it really is a feast for your eyes.
- 49:52Of all of the names that you're used to supporting partners.
- 49:55There you go, you've got the Global Fund. I mean,
- 49:59it's extraordinary, big events and it's going to be taking place,
- 50:03as I say, in October. But let's look at some
- 50:06of the speakers, because they have got they've got so
- 50:09many speakers. So of course we've got Tedros from the WHO.
- 50:14We've also got the Ambassador on Antimicrobial Resistance for a
- 50:19federal Ministry of Health Germany, and also the CEO of
- 50:24the Union of International Cancer Control. So these are the
- 50:28three big agendas here that the WHO are going to
- 50:32be looking at. But let's look at a few more
- 50:34of the speakers, and I'm just going to just highlight
- 50:37just a few because there really are so many. So
- 50:39we're looking at speakers from Google Deep Mind, and there
- 50:42we see Dame Sally Davis. Of course she's our very
- 50:45own UK Envoy for Antimicrobial Resistance. We've got UNAIDS, we've
- 50:50got the Max Plank, We've got Bill Gates. I mean
- 50:53that the names go on, and if we go on
- 50:55to the next slide, you'll see some more familiar faces.
- 50:58Jeremy Farrow, who's the chief Scientists for the WHO, Richard Horton,
- 51:03editor of The Lancet. We've got YouTube being represented, and
- 51:07we've got epidemic preparedness being represented, and even more on
- 51:11the next slide, we've got GAVI, we've got Welcome, we've
- 51:15got the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Pfizer,
- 51:19the Rockefellers, the lists just go on and on a big,
- 51:24big summit. But I mean, let's look at the next slide,
- 51:28because we're looking at the United Nations political declaration. Now,
- 51:33this is the one that I've been talking about. This
- 51:35is one of the days where purely anti microbial resistance
- 51:40is going to be talked about. And this is why
- 51:42I say this is going to be a bigger gender
- 51:45moving forward. So what they're saying is that it contributes
- 51:48to five million deaths a year, including many children. The
- 51:53financial costs are extreme, one trill in US dollars for
- 51:59additional health care. But they say that treating antibiotic resistance
- 52:03infection could cost a staggering, eyewatering four hundred and twelve
- 52:08billion pounds a year and with loss productivity of four
- 52:12hundred and forty three billion dollars a year. So I mean,
- 52:16they're putting big figures on this. And as I've said
- 52:19all along, antimicrobial resistance, how real is this agenda? Probably
- 52:24in my opinion, about as real as climate change and
- 52:28all of these sustainable goals that appear unsustainable. So here's
- 52:32the big banner for antimicrobial resistance. AMR is invisible. I
- 52:38am not. Well, it's going to be a big day
- 52:42and I predict big changes. But let's go on to November,
- 52:46because I did say the eight weeks were going to
- 52:48be busy, and I'm just going to flash up a
- 52:51couple of big, big dates for your diary. The UN
- 52:54Climate Change in November, the conference in Baku eleventh to
- 52:59the twenty second of November twenty twenty four, and then
- 53:02we've got the G twenty as well in Rio that's
- 53:07on November eighteenth to the nineteenth. That's going to be
- 53:10another huge summit. And of course in December we just
- 53:15round it all off with Epidemic Preparedness Day. So as
- 53:20far as I can see from what I'm looking at online,
- 53:25it would appear that the weeks between the end of
- 53:28September to the end of November are going to be
- 53:31extremely busy. There are going to be a lot of
- 53:33major decisions made that could affect us very very quickly.
- 53:38And like I say, we're going from the word acceleration
- 53:41to turbocharged. So keep an eye when we all get
- 53:44back from holiday and the kids go back to school.
- 53:46I think we're going to see a lot of changes
- 53:48very quickly.
- 53:50Speaker 1: Okay, Debbie, thank you very much. Well, we're just going
- 53:52to finish with farming and well the government's pushing this
- 53:57out this morning is from Deprah. We're introducing a new
- 54:01deal for farmers. So they've announced it's their commitment to
- 54:05introduce a new deal for farmers to address low confidence
- 54:08and provide stability to the farming sector. So this is
- 54:12what they have to say, optimizing environmental land management schemes
- 54:17so that they can produce the right outcomes for all farmers,
- 54:20including those who've been too often ignored, such as small grassland,
- 54:23upland and tenant farmers, while delivering food security and nature
- 54:28recovery in a just an equitableut way. So they're claiming
- 54:33to maintain food security and my question is are they
- 54:36going to do any such thing now. Harry Metcalf is
- 54:40a farmer in the UK who has a YouTube channel
- 54:42called Harry's Farm, and he released a video yesterday commenting
- 54:46on the issue of environmental land management and food security.
- 54:51Let's have a listen to this.
- 54:54Speaker 11: We have a consumption of always saying right in the
- 54:56UK about around one point eight million tons. I think
- 55:00the twenty four harvest is going to be about nine
- 55:03hundred tons.
- 55:05Speaker 3: You don't have to go back.
- 55:06Speaker 11: You go back to twenty twelve, we were exporting seven
- 55:10hundred thousand tons, so we're growing two points something million
- 55:14tons of rape.
- 55:15Speaker 3: Twenty twenty four were down.
- 55:17Speaker 11: To nine hundred thousand tons, and just going on a
- 55:22perception and chatter amongst farmers that might go down to
- 55:27six hundred thousand tons next year. It's just decimated the
- 55:31tonnage of obviously rate being grown in this country food
- 55:34if you like. And with all these environmental things happening
- 55:38as well, the wheat tonnage is going down.
- 55:41Speaker 3: There's a I.
- 55:44Speaker 11: Don't know what's going to happen in harvest twenty five
- 55:46when reality hits, when the actual amount of food produced
- 55:50in this country has dropped so dramatically. We're not talking
- 55:54about ten percent, we're talking about half the amounts, and
- 55:57we're huge numbers. And I noticed also stock numbers on
- 56:01the upland farms the reports just being published, they're massively
- 56:05down with so they've dropped six hundred and something thousand
- 56:08head of sheep this year, just in one year alone.
- 56:12Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm sure the government know what they're doing.
- 56:14Speaker 11: All these schemes but it's having a dramatic effect on
- 56:17the amount of food we grow in this country.
- 56:21Speaker 1: I'm sure the government knows exactly what it's doing. I
- 56:23think he's right about that, but perhaps not in the
- 56:25way that he means. The government absolutely knows what it's doing.
- 56:29The government absolutely understands that the UK is a country
- 56:33that already imports sixty percent of its food and as
- 56:37Harry Metcalf, they're making the point we're no longer exporting
- 56:41certain types of produce because we're not producing enough of it.
- 56:46As these land management schemes continue to develop. Any remember,
- 56:50I appreciate Debbie's point about change, but Starmar talking about change.
- 56:55In fact, he's just accelerating the change which was already
- 56:59in progress. And with respect to farming, that change was
- 57:04the taking of land out of production for food and
- 57:09turning it back into so called environmental schemes. This is
- 57:13extremely dangerous. And if we think we began the program
- 57:17by talking about the pressure that people have been under
- 57:19as a result of immigration, and the fact that not
- 57:23just immigration, but also the collapse of infrastructure as people
- 57:27have been taking money out of the system, hands had
- 57:30over fist. This is going to increase pressure even further
- 57:34because inevitably, with shortages, prices are going to go up
- 57:38again on a long term basis. Now, Harry talking about
- 57:42twenty twenty five harvest being when the you know, when
- 57:47things sort of become apparent to people. We've been warning
- 57:51about this for how many years now? This has been coming,
- 57:55so nobody should be surprised. Hopefully it could be revert
- 58:00but the food production scenario in this country is Debbie,
- 58:05I would say absolutely in seeing I don't know if
- 58:08you've got any thoughts, well.
- 58:11Speaker 5: I mean, I just go back to be honest, Mike.
- 58:14You know, we hear all the time about the sustainable
- 58:17development goals, and clearly this is to make everything unsustainable.
- 58:23We are not a sustainable country, and they are deliberately
- 58:27dismantling us. They are deliberately destroying, disrupting, in order to
- 58:33create carnage so that we are completely unsustainable. So their
- 58:37sustainable goal is unsustainability or am I am I getting
- 58:42it wrong? That's just the way I see. Everything is inverted,
- 58:45everything is turned upside down, and with all of the
- 58:48land being reclaimed for solar farms and wind turbines, wind
- 58:52farms as well, it's clear what the agenda is and
- 58:56that is to destroy any sustainability that this country ever had.
- 59:02Speaker 1: Absolutely I found it interesting and slightly amusing. You use
- 59:05the word carnage, of course, because Mark Carney is a
- 59:08key figure that's behind all this. When we're talking about day,
- 59:13we're not just talking about the British government. We're also
- 59:15talking about people that have worked within the British government
- 59:19but are in other roles now. But we're talking about
- 59:23multi national organizations like the World Economic Forum of the
- 59:27United Nations and so on. So there are many players
- 59:30in this game, and we'll be talking more and more
- 59:33about them in the coming days and weeks. Well, look,
- 59:35we've got to leave it there for today, so I'm
- 59:37going to say thank you very much to Debbie and
- 59:38Mark for joining us. Thank you all for watching. If
- 59:42you're a UK Called members, stick around on the live
- 59:44stream and we'll be back in a few minutes for
- 59:46some extra Otherwise, have a great weekend. I won't see
- 59:50you until for another two weeks, but the news will
- 59:54continue as usual. See you Monday.
- 59:56Speaker 3: Bye bye.
- 1:00:01Speaker 10: At the empty the
