Speaker 1: Good afternoon. Today is Friday, the sixteenth of August twenty
0:12
twenty four, just after one o'clock. Welcome to uk column News.
0:16
I'm your host, Brian Gerrish. Delighted to be joined today
0:19
by Debbie Evans and with Mark Anderson, who will be
0:23
speaking by his live link from the United States. Well,
0:28
we're going to kick straight off with the subject of
0:31
Ukraine because events there are immensely important. Obviously, everything that's
0:36
taken place in Ukraine and the war has huge ramifications
0:41
for not only everybody in Europe, but also US and
0:46
to some extent worldwide. And of course the Western media
0:50
getting very very excited by the Ukrainian incursion over the
0:53
northern border into Kursk territory. Now, the first thing to
0:58
say to people will come onto the Kiev Post in
1:03
just a second, But before we get to that, the
1:06
important thing to say is that the region that the
1:10
Ukrainians have gone into is largely open space woodlands. It
1:17
has a very very small and well dispersed Russian population,
1:22
and so essentially the Ukrainian forces have gone into an
1:26
area where they're operating largely in small groups and dispersed
1:32
amongst this very wide open space and forested area. So
1:39
to some extent, this makes the Russian operation very difficult
1:43
because although the Ukrainian troops are using mechanized equipment, the
1:50
region itself suits relatively small groups hiding in these wooded areas. Nevertheless,
1:58
what we're actually seeing on ground is the Russians are
2:02
now forming a comprehensive defense and the Ukrainians have been
2:06
taking particularly heavy losses. But the key point is propaganda
2:12
from the Ukrainian side just going to bring on the
2:15
Kiev Post here. This is not to criticize them directly,
2:19
but to say that even in this article is very
2:23
difficult to actually pick up what's happening. They say five
2:27
things worth knowing about Ukraine's curse offensive in Russia. If
2:32
you look at the article itself, that's Russia reinforces the
2:36
defensive position, drone swarms Kursk twenty twenty four, and a
2:43
lot of things that you didn't know about, which is
2:46
talking about counter terrorism in Chechnya. So there's not a
2:50
lot of factual information in this thing. If I just
2:52
bring in the next bit of text here, this is
2:57
where the propaganda starts. Moscow is and sacking other frontline
3:01
sectors for troops. This is totally untrue. The Russians have
3:06
about eight hundred and fifty thousand troops mobilized. They have
3:11
an abundance of troops and the troops that are being
3:13
used to quell the incursion into the Curse area. These
3:18
are troops completely separate from the fighting in the Dombas region.
3:24
To the contrary, it is Ukraine that is having to
3:27
pull troops off the front line. And at the moment,
3:31
what is happening is that the Russian forces are moving
3:34
forward in many areas. This is simply not being discussed
3:38
in the West. Let's have a look at the BBC
3:41
getting very excited because the Ukrainians are stating that they've
3:45
been using Challenger tanks in the Curse concursion.
3:55
Speaker 2: Challenger two tanks supplied by the UK to Ukrainian forces
3:59
have been used in their cross border incursion into Russia,
4:02
a source as told the BBC. Kiev says it's expanding
4:06
its military operation in the Krusk region, and within the
4:09
past hour or so, a top commander has said the
4:11
country's troops advanced a further one and a half kilometers
4:15
in the past dead but Russia insists they are pushing
4:18
back our correspondent Will Vernon has the latest.
4:23
Speaker 3: In Russia. Evacuations from parts of the border regions continue.
4:27
Thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes.
4:31
The Russian military is desperately trying to stop the Ukrainian advance,
4:35
releasing more pictures allegedly of strikes against Ukrainian forces.
4:42
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of nuances in that clip. Of course,
4:45
there's the excitement that the British Challenger tank is apparently
4:49
being used in the battle. This was one of the
4:52
wonder weapons that was supposedly going to change the war
4:56
for Ukraine, alongside American equipment such as the abra Ham's tank,
5:01
and the latest Western wonder weapon is the F sixteen fighter,
5:05
which is not going to arrive in sufficient numbers to
5:08
change much on the battlefield. But he's also talking about
5:13
alleged Russian attacks. Now, if there's one thing about the
5:17
information that is coming out of the Russian Ministry Defense
5:21
and is also coming across many excellent social media analyst sites,
5:28
is the use of Russian weapons to destroy heavy armor.
5:33
This is a video a destruction of a British Challenger tank.
5:38
Let's let this video run and you can see what
5:42
is about to happen. So the first thing we're seeing
5:45
is the power of the drones in surveillance and spotting armor,
5:49
but also men operating, and there is no doubt that
5:53
the Russians have far more drones and better capability. So
5:59
the Ukraine in this sector are really suffering from the
6:03
attacks that are coming in from Russian drones. And if
6:06
we have a look just very shortly in this clip,
6:09
you will see the effect of one of the Russian
6:12
drone strikes on this Challenger tank there that has gone
6:17
into the woods to hide. There are many reports appearing
6:20
that the Challenger tank is not faring well on the
6:23
battlefield against modern weapons that the Russians are using and
6:27
has a propensity to explode and burn. So this is
6:33
just one of the videos that the BBC is trying
6:37
to call alleged attacks. The reality is that the Ukrainians
6:42
are now really beginning to suffer from these attacks and
6:46
the number of Ukrainian troops being killed is climbing. The Ukrainians,
6:54
we also need to say, are reinforcing the area, and
6:59
this many commentators are saying is a disastrous action because
7:03
essentially they are going to be contained in the initial
7:07
incursion area, and the Russians aren't then going to destroy
7:12
these troops and their equipment bit by bit as they
7:16
are doing on the other areas of the front. The
7:20
difference are stressed again is that the Ukrainians have pulled
7:24
highly experienced, some of their best troops off the Dombas
7:28
fronts in order to make this attack into Russia. What's
7:34
the objective. It appears to hold territory up until the
7:39
US elections, when the Ukrainians can use this as a
7:44
bargaining chip for more money and weapons and to show
7:49
that the Western masters that they're still capable of an
7:51
attack on the Russians. So many military people are saying
7:55
this is a very cynical attack because it's a publicity
7:59
stunt which is going to cost many lives. Now, I
8:02
just want to come on to the subject of losses
8:04
of Western and we will say possibly even UK servicemen
8:11
and women inside Ukraine. There's been at least four major
8:15
Russian attacks where the Russians have claimed that they have
8:18
hit NATO personnel in Ukraine. This is a freedom of
8:23
information sent to the Ministry of Defense in uk fifteenth
8:27
of August saying please advise how many British service personnel
8:31
have died while carrying out duties in Ukraine since May
8:36
twenty twenty two to the date of this request. Please
8:39
advise how many British service personnel have been injured while
8:42
carrying out duties. Now, this is a very important question,
8:46
of course. The response here from the Ministry of Defense
8:50
goes on to come up with all the usual statements,
8:55
so they estimate they will take an additional twenty working
8:58
days to make a final decision on where the balance
9:02
of public interest lies. That doesn't mean say they're considering
9:06
what's best for the public. It means they're considering what
9:09
is safest for the government. But the response goes on
9:13
with a normal disclaimer. But I couldn't help but notice
9:17
that there is no signature, So this is effectively an
9:21
anonymous response from the Ministry of Defense. We will wait
9:25
and see whether they declare who has been killed or
9:28
injured and what the numbers are. Now, I just wanted
9:31
to bring people's attention on to this. This is something
9:34
that I've been thinking about over a couple of days.
9:37
But this is the definition of murder. This is taken
9:41
from the CPS website. So in a case of murder,
9:46
you've got to be of sound mine. You've got to
9:50
kill somebody unlawfully, and that is any reasonable creature that
9:54
could be a human being. And it is going to
9:59
take place under the King's peace, so it's not in wartime,
10:03
and there's got to be an intent to kill. So effectively,
10:07
this is the basic definition. We can also have a
10:11
look at this. This is conspiring or soliciting to commit murder.
10:17
Whosoever shall solicit, encourage, pursue, or endeavor to pursue, or
10:22
shall propose to any person to murder any other person. Now,
10:26
what I want to do is just get the audience
10:29
thinking about this in relation to the conflict in Ukraine.
10:34
And of course if we put operations in the middle
10:37
we've effectively got a UK cabinet war against Russia. It's
10:42
a proxy war being fought via Ukraine. So uk has
10:46
not been attacked by Russia nor suffered any act of war.
10:51
UK is not a war with Russia. And the UK
10:55
has solicited, encouraged, persuaded and endeavored to persuade Ukraine and
11:01
individuals in Ukraine to murder Russian civilians and military on
11:05
behalf of the UK government. Russians are not subjects of
11:09
his Majesty, nor are they within the King's dominions. So
11:13
what I'm showing here is that we're not at war
11:16
with Russia and yet we are directly responsible for the
11:20
killing of people. We being the Cabinet office in this country.
11:24
Should they be held accountable? And if we just bring
11:27
this in, we can also now ask a question if
11:30
British special forces and servicemen are being killed in Ukraine
11:34
under these circumstances, have they been unlawfully killed at the
11:39
hand of the UK government. Our leave our audience to
11:42
consider this, But I'll just bring in reports that Charles
11:48
Mullett made a couple of days ago, because here we've
11:51
got the British government scrutinizing people in this country. Tommy
11:56
Robinson and Nigel Fraj mentioned here being rutinized by the
12:01
security services amid fears that Britain's Fi right riots are
12:05
being fueled by the Putin regime. And we've also got
12:09
the fact that specialist officers have been tasked with pursuing
12:13
online offenders and so called influencers responsible for spreading hate
12:18
and inciting violence. This is while the killing goes on
12:22
in Ukraine at the hand of the UK government. And
12:25
the Cabinet Office in particular. And Charles Mallett also highlighted
12:31
here that there was additional parts that we needed to
12:35
encourage capable of encourage or assistance intends to encourage or
12:40
assistance commission of a serious crime. These can be directly applied,
12:48
I believe, to what's happening in Ukraine. So at that
12:52
point we'll move on. But events in Ukraine clearly targeting
12:57
the American election. So Mark, bring you into the UK
13:01
column News today. Tell us about what's been happening around
13:05
Camilla Harris.
13:08
Speaker 4: Well, this is tying in Brian. Good day to everyone.
13:12
This ties into media deception of one species or one
13:16
context or another. Kamala coronated. This is from the most
13:20
recent edition, the print edition of American Free Press. Mainstream
13:25
media goes all in to get Harris elected. And we'll
13:30
move on from there, and I'll explain in a more
13:32
wide manner. This is very reminiscent the Time magazine coronating
13:39
Kamala Harris. Is from the twenty sixth of August twenty
13:41
twenty four. But remember back on the twenty third of
13:44
October in two thousand and six, Time magazine also coronated
13:49
Barack Obama, who was an obscure Illinois state senator before
13:56
he became a US senator and made his way up
14:00
the latter in Voila. It was our first black president,
14:04
even though technically he was mulatto. And the same thing
14:07
with Kamala racially. I'll briefly comment on that she is
14:11
at best half black, but probably less than that, and
14:15
we'll get into that more in another broadcast. But of
14:19
course the media makes a lot of that and her
14:21
gender to pump this up. But a little bit of
14:24
details from this front page afppiece. The first couple paragraphs
14:30
pretty much explain it, and then the last one. On
14:34
August twelfth, Time magazine published an artist stylized rendering of
14:37
Vice President Kamala Harris, drawing her to look up to
14:41
the heavens. Despite the fact that Harris refused a sit
14:44
down interview with the iconic magazine, the editors and publishers
14:48
still made the decision to celebrate and praise the far
14:52
left politician, And then I could probably add a little more. Ever,
14:59
since a coup at the Democratic Party replaced the elderly
15:03
cognitively impaired Joe Biden with Harris, the Vice president has
15:07
refused to sit down for an interview, instead choosing to
15:10
travel around the country to deliver the exact same speech
15:14
straight off of a teleprompter. Harris Center running mate Minnesota
15:18
Governor Tim Wallas, will talk about him in a few minutes.
15:21
Have yet to publish anything that lays out where they
15:24
will stand on the most important issues of the day,
15:26
including immigration, the economy, and war. But the media still
15:32
keeps spawning over them. And I'll jump to this on
15:35
next part. Toward the end that article mentions this lady.
15:41
You can go on the article mentions this lady. Sarah
15:46
Fisher of Axios and as AFP indicated, and then I
15:51
went to the Axios publication online to confirm this. The
15:54
Harris campaign has been editing news headlines and descriptions with
15:59
the Google Search ads that make it appear as that
16:03
The Guardian, Reuter's, CBS News, and other major publishers publishers
16:08
are on Camala's side. So there's some direct manipulation going
16:13
on here. It's not just bias. And we'll continue from there.
16:18
This is a little more detailed from Axios. The Harris
16:21
campaign has been editing news headlines and descriptions within Google
16:24
Search ads, as I noted, that make it appear as
16:27
if The Guardian, Reuter, CBS, and other major publishers are
16:31
on her side. Axios has found why it matters. It's
16:34
a common practice in the commercial advertising world that doesn't
16:37
violate Google's policies. But the ads mimic real news results
16:42
from search closely enough that they have news outlets caught
16:45
off guard. According to Google's Ad Transparency Center, the Trump
16:50
campaign isn't running these types of ads, but this technique
16:54
has been used by campaigns before. The ads say that
16:57
they are sponsored, but it's not immediately clear that the
17:00
text that accompanies real news links is written by the
17:03
campaigns and not by the media publication itself, so this
17:10
is a rather unusual thing. These are some actual screenshots
17:15
that Axios did of the merger between advertising and news
17:20
that we're talking about, where the Harris campaign apparently is
17:23
manipulating the headlines. VP Harris's economic vision lower costs and
17:28
higher wages, Tim Watz's military service. He's the of course,
17:33
the governor of Minnesota, and the VP pick twenty four
17:36
years in the National Guard. The next slide is a
17:39
couple more examples of these. One has to do with
17:43
inflation is down under the Biden Harris administration. The US
17:46
is winning the inflation fight. So again the question is,
17:52
did the Biden Harris excuse me, the Harris Waltz campaign
17:58
actually alter those headlines are the main headlines, and apparently
18:03
to some fairly significant extent, they have done so. Since
18:09
August third, nearly a dozen news companies have been used
18:13
in these types of ads from the Harris campaign. Nearly
18:15
a dozen news companies. Examples include the Independent UK, National
18:20
Public Radio, Associated Press, The Guardian, USA Today, Public Television PBS,
18:25
and the US CNN, CBS News and Time magazine and others.
18:29
Even in North Dakota radio station, these ads include links
18:33
to real articles from the news outlets, but the headlines
18:36
and supporting texts have been altered to read as though
18:39
the articles support the Harris campaign's objectives. And that's probably
18:44
a sufficient read on that, Brian. But it definitely suggests
18:49
that the media is going all out, even beyond what
18:54
they did for Obama, which was very significant in order
18:57
to get the Harris Waltz ticket absolute top billing. Here. Now,
19:04
this item here, Brian, is from the Minnesota Governor's office itself.
19:09
We can talk just a little bit in a couple
19:11
of minutes that I have left here about Governor Tim Watson, Minnesota,
19:16
her VP partner, and back in twenty twenty two. Now
19:22
take note of that the pandemic as we knew it
19:25
was just about two years old, so there was some
19:28
knowledge that the shots the injections posed some danger to
19:35
the public. It wasn't like this was January or March
19:38
twenty twenty. This was January of twenty two. Governor Waltz
19:42
launches Kids Deserve a Shot Vaccine incentive program for Minnesotans
19:47
five to eleven years old. Two hundred dollars visa gift
19:51
cards to all Minnesota families who get their kids five
19:54
to eleven years old fully vaccinated in January and February
19:58
of twenty twenty two, and it notes here Today Governor
20:03
Waltz announced the launch of the new phase of the
20:06
Kids Deserve a Shot Vaccine is Sentate program. The next
20:10
phase to encourage Minnesota families to get their kids five
20:14
to eleven years old fully vaccinated against COVID nineteen. The Walls,
20:18
Flanning and administrations committed to providing these resources to keep
20:21
gets healthy. While Minnesota is one of the leaders in
20:24
the nation in vaccinating children five year eleven years old.
20:28
This is still the lowest rate of vaccination among eligible
20:31
groups in the state. And go on from there. There's
20:38
one other item I believe that stems from this press release.
20:43
As omicron surges across our nation, we're continuing to use
20:47
every resource we have to keep our families safe and healthy.
20:50
Governor Wall said, there's a lot of highly transmissible virus
20:54
circulating in our communities. By getting our children five year
20:58
eleven years old vaccinated gives them critical protection against severe
21:01
illness and hospitalization. You'll get two hundred dollars cash in
21:05
your pocket for getting this easy vaccination. There was also
21:10
an additional incentive that was involved in this. There's no
21:13
better way to keep your family safe than by getting
21:16
everyone who's eligible vaccinated. The Lieutenant governor was quoted as saying,
21:20
we want to help Minnesota start the year off by
21:22
getting these vaccinations done. And it goes on to say
21:29
toward the end there that Minnesota's five to eleven must
21:32
receive their first and second dose between January first and
21:36
February twenty eighth of that year twenty twenty two in
21:40
order to be eligible, and so a lot of critics
21:43
of Governor Waltz Kamala, Harris's running partner Brian, have accused
21:48
him of outright bribery back then to push the vaccination regime.
21:53
And Governor Paul Lenti, the former governor of Minnesota up
21:57
until twenty eleven, he said that Walls is the most
22:00
liberal socialist governor in all of the United States, radically
22:05
socialist in fact. So that's sort of an overview of
22:09
the candidacy and the media going out of its way
22:13
at the exclusion of all else to push the candidacy
22:15
of Harris and Walls.
22:17
Speaker 1: So back to you, Okay, thanks very much, Mark, Well,
22:21
what's happening there in the States with psychological manipulation of
22:25
the public, because this is what it's about. That's also
22:28
taking place in UK, and we're going to see that
22:31
in a coming to light in a number of the
22:34
subsequent sections that we've got in today's news. So Debbie,
22:38
welcome you to the News today, and you're going to
22:41
take us into the subject of organ harvesting.
22:48
Speaker 5: I am good afternoon, everybody, and thank you. And yet
22:52
this is a massive subject and I have been asked
22:54
by a number of people, please could I cover organ
22:57
donation and transplantation. But I'm fear that it raises more
23:01
questions than we're probably going to answer, and I'm hoping
23:04
at least today we can start the conversation. So let's
23:08
go back to remember between nineteen eighty eight and nineteen
23:13
ninety five. Many of you will remember Older Hay Forgotten
23:18
for twenty five years. The article is entitled obviously it's
23:22
a lot older than that. Now, how the thousand infant
23:25
bodies were found after Older Hay where organs were removed
23:28
after post mortems and were left in laboratory storerooms and
23:34
as a result the Royal Liverpool Children's Inquiry Report, massive report.
23:39
If you haven't read it, it's quite harrowing. But as
23:41
a result of Older Hay we have another regulator. I
23:45
found another regulator which is another whole new segment of
23:48
its own, but it's called the Human Tissue Authority and
23:51
it was set up as a result of Older Hay
23:54
as the regulator. But what does it actually do? What
23:57
do they regulate? So in the next slide you'll see
24:00
that it's a number of things. They cover a number
24:03
of acts, the Human Tissue Act, the Human Tissue Quality
24:06
and Safety for Human application regulations. It covers all sorts,
24:10
but you're looking at anatomy, which is teaching AIDS for
24:13
medical students, bone marrow, stem cell donation, organ donation, organs
24:18
after death, post mortem, public display and research. Like I say,
24:23
it's a whole new subject of its own. But I
24:26
want to focus on organ donation today because currently on
24:30
the waiting list there are seven thousand waiting for organs.
24:33
So a little video to introduce you. Will you do
24:38
it today? Have a look at this.
24:43
Speaker 6: I did it waiting for the bus.
24:46
Speaker 7: We did it together.
24:50
Speaker 8: I saw them.
24:53
Speaker 5: We did it together as a team.
24:59
Speaker 6: Two minutes now could save up to nine lives. Confirm
25:03
your decision to be an organ donor. It's the best
25:07
thing you'll do today. Visit Organ Donation NHS dot.
25:11
Speaker 5: UK and trust me, we're going to go and visit
25:17
them in a minute. But I just want to show
25:19
that the column on the Column website we've done an
25:22
awful lot of work on organ donation. This is just
25:25
a few examples. So if you go to the search
25:28
bar on the UK Column website and put in organ donation,
25:31
organ transplantation, lots more will come up. But this morning,
25:36
this afternoon, I just want to focus on William at
25:40
the story of William. William is eleven weeks old and
25:44
he is in need of a heart. He's our youngest
25:47
patient who is relying on another family to agree to
25:51
donate their child's heart, because you have to remember that
25:55
little people need little organs. Currently, there are about two
25:58
hundred and fifty children waiting on the organ donation list
26:03
and apparently thirty eight of those are neading hearts. So
26:06
here's another little video waiting to live.
26:12
Speaker 9: There's not much I can do.
26:18
Speaker 8: I lon to live like you d.
26:33
Speaker 10: Paigely for.
26:39
Speaker 6: We give it to me.
26:42
Speaker 10: No, if I see all the sun, I give.
26:52
Speaker 11: It to me.
26:59
Speaker 5: So you see, the pressure is on for parents to
27:01
donate organs, and the Behavioral Insights team have been very
27:05
busy working with the DVLA, the NHS Blood and Transplant Service,
27:10
the Department of Health and Government Digital Services to design
27:14
a different messaging to encourage us all to donate. And
27:18
these little tiny changes have actually led to ninety six
27:22
thousand extra extra people need it or wanting to or
27:27
saying that they're opting in to donate. So how have
27:29
they been doing this Well, They've been using randomized controlled
27:33
trials in conjunction with you can see they're the Cabinet Office,
27:37
Department of Health, Government Digital Services and DVLA. And another
27:42
shot you'll see of the test that they're using, which
27:44
is called test Learn and Adapt, which is applying behavioral
27:49
insights to organ donation. I think there's another slide next
27:53
one for test learn and adapt.
27:55
Speaker 12: Is it that?
27:56
Speaker 5: There? It is and you can see the people involved
27:59
in that. And I've just highlight to Dr David Helpan
28:01
because doesn't his name always crop up everywhere? But what
28:04
does this actually mean? You know, Brian and all of
28:07
the team, we've talked about nudge, the nudge technique, but
28:10
what sludge Because sludge is the opposite of nudge and
28:14
it makes a process much more difficult. It's to create
28:18
friction deliberately. So for example, if you sign up to
28:22
a thirty day free trial, you give your card details
28:25
and they tell you that after thirty days, if you
28:27
don't want it anymore, it's up to you to cancel
28:30
the service. And similarly Nation, so if we look in
28:36
Max and Kira's bill which was passed from twenty to twenty,
28:40
we can see that we've gone from an opt in
28:43
scheme to an opt out. So what do they ask
28:46
you to do? They ask you to register your decision online.
28:50
Now I have to say to everyone I registered opting
28:53
out years ago, and I even got a letter. However,
28:57
that doesn't apply anymore, and it would seem that anybody
29:00
that has a letter, you have been probably opted back in.
29:04
So if we go back to the red and green
29:07
slide there with how to opt in and how to
29:10
opt out, So register your decision, please opt out online.
29:15
It doesn't seem to count any other way, and it
29:18
is quite a simple procedure. In any event, there is
29:21
a phone number that you can phone, and the phone
29:23
numbers here, oh, three hundred one two three two three
29:27
two three. So then I went to look at transplant
29:30
units in the UK, and there are quite a lot
29:33
of transplant units and I wanted to see how many
29:35
transplants were going on in each unit. And on the
29:39
next slide you'll see that in the year April, between
29:43
April twenty three and May twenty four four, six hundred
29:48
and fifty seven transplants have taken place, with four hundred
29:52
and sixty two of those in Birmingham. But what is
29:55
the UK's vision, Because clearly the UK have a vision
29:59
and here it is organ Donation and Transplantation twenty thirty
30:04
Meeting the Need, which is a ten year vision and
30:06
this covers all nations. When I went to look at
30:10
the forward, it indicated that deceased organ donation had risen
30:15
by fifty six percent. And you'll see there that I've
30:18
just arrowed Matt Hancock's name, which I'm sure will give
30:21
you much confidence. But anyway, going further on into the document,
30:25
the ambition is that the UK becomes a world leading
30:29
service working with international colleagues to increase donors and transplants. Now,
30:35
working with international colleagues, does that mean or donations are
30:39
given in this country will stay in this country or
30:42
are they being shipped out? I'm not quite sure on that.
30:45
But if one of your loved ones does donate organs,
30:50
they'll be given after their death the Saint John's Award
30:53
and you will be given the award to increase visibility,
30:57
and it's a gift from the government to say thank
31:00
you very much. But if you're a living donor, so
31:03
you've maybe wanting to give a kidney, or maybe one
31:07
of your relatives needs a kidney, you're going to get
31:09
awarded a living donation pin so, and they're going to
31:14
be looking too at transplant as the early option. So
31:18
this is explore it at an early stage. So you
31:21
can see where we're going with this. And the word sustainable.
31:25
It doesn't take long to see the word sustainable for
31:27
sustainable goals and here we go a sustainable responsive UK service.
31:32
We're going to maximize transplant opportunities in the UK and
31:36
just repeat that maximized, and right at the top it
31:39
says living donation will become an expected part of care,
31:44
expected part of care. We're clinically appropriate for all in society.
31:50
So I'm quite concerned about the worded you on that.
31:53
But what is organ donation? So I went to look
31:56
at the organ donation site and they say that most
31:59
organs come from those who have died. But my question
32:02
to that is have they and how important is this
32:06
decision right now to all of us? So I just
32:09
want to highlight what the website say, and they say
32:12
you really do need to make a decision, and I
32:13
would suggest everybody does make an informed decision. And they
32:18
say you must register your decision, So if you want
32:20
to opt out, you must register it and please inform
32:24
your family. But I also want to make it clear
32:27
on the next slide as well, if you decide not
32:30
to opt out, it will be presumed that you are
32:35
opted in, so it will be presumed organ donation law
32:41
varies across all nations literally, so I've just got there's
32:46
a phone number here if anybody wants to more information
32:50
on the law and the opt out there's another phone
32:52
number three hundred and three three two ninety four. But
32:56
what is deemed consent? On the next slide it talks
32:59
about consent and if you have not opted out, you
33:03
will have deemed to have given consent authorizations and your
33:08
consent will be presumed to be an organ donor. And
33:12
there's a little tiny short video here on the law
33:15
surrounding organ donation.
33:20
Speaker 7: At the end of a rainbow you'll find a part
33:25
of gold.
33:27
Speaker 11: The law around organ donation in England has changed to
33:30
a opt out system to allow more people to save
33:33
more lives. But you still have a choice whatever you decide.
33:38
She's important to tell your family and friends to give
33:41
them the certainty to support your decision at a difficult time.
33:44
Visit organ Donation dot NHS dot uk to find out more.
33:51
Speaker 5: So, as I say, there's a lot to this subject,
33:53
but I just want to highlight a couple of other stories.
33:56
So the BBC around this story organ harvesting, trafficed his
34:00
kidney and now forced into hiding. This is Daniel who
34:03
was sent from Nigeria and who ended up at the
34:05
Royal Free Hospital, my own training hospital for a life
34:08
changing opportunity, only to find out that he'd been sent
34:11
over to give a kidney so trafficking that this was
34:14
the first prosecution back in twenty twenty three, so this
34:18
is fact. Also, Trenton McKinley is thirteen and he suffered
34:23
brain injuries after a tragic freak utility accident. But as
34:29
soon as his parents had signed the forms for him
34:33
to give his organs, he woke up. So I just
34:35
wanted to highlight those couple of details. Because Professor Patrick
34:40
Pulacino has said you cannot diagnose death, so I went
34:43
to look at the code of practice for the procedure
34:45
for diagnosis and confirmation of brainstem function. This is a
34:49
massive document and probably for another news we'll go into
34:53
it in more detail, but basically you need two doctors
34:56
with more than five years experience. One has to be
34:58
a consultant they need to work together. Some of the
35:01
tests that they do are on the following slide and
35:04
you can see the coma pathway as well. I think, yes,
35:08
that's the one. If you just click on there's the
35:10
coma pathway. As I say, it's a massive subject, but
35:15
I want to highlight this trial that is going on
35:19
because the body is kept in a very good condition
35:22
prior to donation, so it's treated like a surgical procedure.
35:27
People that are giving organs such as heart lungs, are
35:31
left in intensive care and they're looked after very well.
35:34
This is Professor John Dark from Newcastle. He's cardiothoracic surgeon
35:40
and he's started the world's largest ever randomized control trial
35:45
into organ donation in dead patients. So these are patients
35:48
that have already been proclaimed dead and he has now
35:52
decided that he wants to start a clinical trial to
35:55
give these patients prior to their organs being harvested, a
36:00
statin called simvastin. This has been funded one point three
36:05
million pounds. They're trying to enroll twoy six hundred in
36:09
inverted commas dead patients. Because what does it mean to
36:12
be dead? Is my big question and there's a little
36:16
video here, very very short video of what happens after you.
36:19
Speaker 7: Die if you're registered to be an organ or tissue donor.
36:24
After death, here's how the process works. When the time
36:27
for donation comes, the donor is moved from the critical
36:31
care unit to the operating theater. So it would be
36:33
very similar to somebody undergoing an operation in terms of
36:37
the way that we approach it, the professionalism in the
36:39
operating room. We have anesthesia, we have the donor, surgical teams.
36:43
At the end of the process, the machines that have
36:46
kept the heart and the lungs going or stopped so
36:48
that we can then remove the organ. So all the
36:50
incisions are closed with great care, the same way that
36:53
we would for someone having an elective operations that that
36:56
they're cosmetically that things look fine, then they go to
36:59
the morgue and then are released to the families within
37:02
a relatively timely fashion, because people obviously have preparations for
37:05
funerals and for bereaved families, it's a real silver lining
37:09
in the context an Otherwise it'd be quite difficult that
37:11
the last act of their loved one was to save
37:14
the life of several other people. So I would anybody
37:17
number one who's willing to be an organ donor should
37:20
sign up to be an organ doner.
37:23
Speaker 5: They don't take organs from dead people. But also the
37:28
WEF are looking at using pickharts. It's medical first, they've
37:33
all failed so far. It's called zeno transplantation. And there's
37:38
the next slide. Just to tie this segment up is
37:40
the ethics and welfare of animals with regards to zeno transplantation.
37:45
And if all else fails, I guess three D printing,
37:49
we might be relying on three D printing. But my
37:53
concerns are really, is this going to put more pressure
37:56
on families. The more the public give, the more they
37:58
seem to want. Will we be encouraging euthanasia or assisted
38:03
dying to take place in an operating theater? Much to talk.
38:06
Speaker 1: About, Debby, Thank you very much for that. A lot
38:10
to talk about. We'll talk about some of it in
38:13
extra time after today's news. This subject is so important. Well,
38:18
let's just talk to our audience and say thank you
38:21
very much for all the support you've given us. And
38:24
to say that the people who are subscribing to us
38:26
on a monthly basis, it's your financial support that keeps
38:30
us going and we hope very much to be expanding
38:33
in the future. So we are here because of you.
38:38
You are a key part of our team and we
38:41
hope very much to be doing more in the future
38:43
as a result of your support. Please share the information
38:47
we're putting out. This is why we give our broadcast.
38:51
Facebook still not playing, but we're still working to see
38:54
whether we can convince them to play. And if you
38:58
want to contribute in the way, then you might consider
39:01
taking something buying something from the UK Column shop. We're
39:06
also encouraging people to buy the Agenda twenty one Your
39:09
Life in their Hands booklet. We've had such a good
39:12
response from people that we are very confident in saying
39:16
if you haven't already got a copy, please do buy one.
39:20
And we're also going to put out special comment on
39:26
the interview with Alistair Williams and this has gone down
39:31
extremely well with the UK Column audience. Laughter in an
39:35
Ugly World, Charles Mallett doing a really good interview here.
39:39
If you haven't seen it, get onto the UK Column
39:41
website and have a look. And also we're going to
39:44
say if you haven't got a ticket yet for the
39:46
UK Column on location event in Bristol nineteenth of October.
39:51
Please get one. This is going to be our opportunity
39:55
to mix and meet you and it's going to be
39:58
a wonderful event. Will announcing more information about speakers very
40:03
shortly and it's going to be a tremendous day, So
40:06
do come and join us. Now, I want to move
40:09
on to the subject of New Zealand. A little while
40:14
ago we had a lady that came to visit us
40:17
from New Zealand. We had a fascinating discussion about what
40:20
happened in New Zealand over the whole of the lockdown period.
40:27
But it's raised all sorts of interesting topics. Let's just
40:32
first have a look at this little clip with NHS England.
40:36
Listen for the use of the applied psychology. But also
40:40
right at the end, New Zealand gets a little mentioned.
40:45
Speaker 12: When I look at the vaccine delivery. You sent a
40:49
million letters to quite a wide population, but there were
40:53
in fact only a total of three hundred and sixty
40:56
one thousand MMR vaccines delivered, which suggests that it may
41:00
not be a very successful program. And that's not necessarily
41:05
the fault of the program. It's just that actually it
41:08
may be the people are quite resistant, sadly to getting
41:13
vaccination against again another nasty set of infections which have
41:17
where the vaccine has transformed a lot of lives of
41:20
people who would otherwise congenital rebel it for example virtually
41:24
gone measles, a killer mumps or kaitus.
41:29
Speaker 8: So they're going to be two more coming at you.
41:32
You can at that would be a batch of five.
41:35
Steve so Tunusian then.
41:37
Speaker 12: Robert very quick.
41:39
Speaker 13: I thought it was a great paper, General Associate, great paper.
41:44
I actually was going to speak about lessons learned from
41:48
communications in the past, and that's been covered. I want
41:50
to shift the same kind of thread to education in
41:55
the community, right, I mean, even with all of the
41:58
stuff that's done, we often meet people with serious concerns
42:01
about vaccination, and comms is one end of it, but
42:04
it's sort of education with the community and how are
42:06
you thinking about it, partnerships in that space, et cetera,
42:09
et cetera.
42:09
Speaker 9: Thank you, and then last you Robert, Yeah, so I
42:13
thinks terrific program. And obviously we've learnt a huge amount
42:17
through the COVID experience and vaccine hesitancy and all that.
42:20
Two questions. One is so others have asked about sort
42:26
of confidence and nervousness. I'm more interested in the complacency,
42:29
which I think there probably is a lot of, particularly
42:32
around COVID. So what's the messaging to address complacency? I mean,
42:39
you don't want to scare people. On the other hand,
42:41
you want to make people aware of the risk. Is
42:42
that media or how you're doing that? The second question
42:45
is just what's your ambition in terms of vaccination rates
42:50
in the over sixty fives for example. I mean you
42:52
have a target in mind.
42:54
Speaker 8: So then you've got five comments or questions and you
42:57
can probably answer some of them as about rapragmatically, but one
43:02
specific Steve might know either of the Steve, do we
43:05
know what currently the flu is going through Asia's Asian
43:10
So have we got any information about what might be
43:12
coming away that I don't Actually I.
43:15
Speaker 9: Haven't looked at that recently, Helen, you are going to
43:19
New Zealand.
43:21
Speaker 5: It was all about the COVID in New Zealand. No,
43:23
I haven't heard this.
43:24
Speaker 8: Yes too early, thank you, sir, Steve.
43:32
Speaker 1: So what's coming our way? It's all about the COVID
43:35
in New Zealand. Debbie, I'll just bring you on for
43:38
a very brief comment on that before I make some
43:41
other comments about what is coming from New Zealand.
43:45
Speaker 5: Well, yes, New Zealand's a very interesting place, and our
43:49
interview with dr Ursula Edgington actually brave New New Zealand
43:53
where she was saying that it's a small population in
43:56
New Zealand, things are often tested out first on that
43:59
popular first, so if it doesn't work then it's no
44:02
big deal. It hasn't cost a lot of money. Those
44:04
were her words, not mine. And also what happens in
44:07
the Southern Hemisphere because it's their winter now will always
44:10
follow or all pretty much always follow in the Northern Hemisphere.
44:14
So it's very much a case of keep your eyes
44:16
on New Zealand, small population, island nation and everybody is
44:22
always looking at the data. And let's not forget your
44:24
cinder ad hearn and the lock up policies and the
44:28
COVID policies was so hard and so stringent back in
44:32
twenty twenty.
44:34
Speaker 1: Indeed they were, and I suggest they're going to be
44:37
worse in the future. Big thank you to the UK
44:39
column viewer that sent an email saying to me, have
44:42
a look at this document here. It is the New
44:45
Zealand Pandemic Plan and it's a framework for action, two
44:50
hundred and nineteen pages of amazingly detailed information, but it
44:55
sets out the all of government measures to be taken
45:00
to prepare for and respond to a pandemic. It updates
45:03
the New Zealand Influenza Pandemic Plan A Framework for Action
45:08
twenty seventeen. My goodness, this document is just incredible because
45:14
it describes the utter closed down in control of society.
45:20
Here are the contents which people can freeze and have
45:23
a look at what's on screen. But this covers every
45:27
single area of society, and it also includes every single
45:32
government agency being used for surveillance, for lockdown, for the
45:38
grouping up of people for vaccinations. It's truly incredible and
45:44
the only way I could really get to the document
45:46
if we just pop this one on screen. I won't
45:48
let it run for long. But I thought the only
45:50
way I can really show the scale of it is
45:52
to take a little video of it. And here we
45:55
see page after page after page scrolling down. This is
46:00
all plans as how people are going to be informed, corralled, manipulated, injected,
46:08
locked up. It is about the complete removal of people's
46:13
rights and particularly people who dare to challenge what the
46:18
government says is the necessary action for the pandemic. So
46:25
I think I'm going to leave that one there, but
46:27
it's a truly astonishing document. Will make sure that the
46:32
we will make sure that the link for it is
46:35
in the show notes. Now where does that take us?
46:39
I think that brings you back in Debbi on the
46:43
subject of pox.
46:47
Speaker 5: M pos. I'm going to feel a bit like Brenda
46:50
another one, but let's cost our mind back actually just
46:54
quickly before I show you a few slides, because in
46:56
July twenty twenty two, Ted Dross at the Double also
47:02
called this again an international a public health emergency of
47:07
international concern, and that one finished in twenty twenty three.
47:10
That's when they were giving smallpox injections. So monkey pox
47:14
flu like symptoms, fever, headache, and then you end up
47:19
with some lesions and some blisters and you should avoid
47:23
all physical contact, is what they say. But many people
47:27
think monkey pox empos monkeys. Actually the origin of the
47:32
reservoir is thought to be bats or rats, although it
47:34
can infect monkeys. So just to clarify that, so if
47:38
anybody else is looking at empox with suspicion. I can
47:42
understand why, so I just want to remind you back
47:46
to Maderna. I think we've got a slide of Maderna,
47:51
which cemented a ten year partnership with the UK for vaccines.
47:55
And this is relevant because Professor Jonathan van Tam you'll remember,
48:00
is working for them now. So just remember that with Maderna,
48:03
because on the ninth of August this year, Tedros invited
48:07
empox vaccine manufacturers to submit dossier's for emergency evaluation so
48:13
to get an emergency use listing. They wanted the manufacturers
48:18
to apply as soon as possible, and the next slide
48:21
will show you the invitation that the manufacturers were given,
48:25
with details of how to submit to apply. And then
48:27
literally one week after that, all of a sudden, Tedross
48:32
out the who has announced that it's now empox is
48:37
a public health emergency of international concern. And when I
48:42
went on looked to look further into the article, it
48:45
says that they've had one hundred lab confirmed cases of
48:48
clade one B. Now we know that yesterday they announced
48:52
that Sweden had found a case, but hearing the word
48:55
clade just jogged my memory a little bit, so I
48:58
went back to two thousand and eight, and I remembered
49:01
this operation or this exercise clade X, which was a
49:05
tabletop pandemic exercise, which was illustrating high level decisions and
49:10
policies that the United States and the rest of the
49:13
world would need to pursue to prevent another pandemic. They
49:17
did it alongside Dark Winter and Atlantic Storm. How appropriate.
49:22
But that's probably again for another new segment. So back
49:25
to monkey pox. You'll be reassured to know that a
49:28
new monkey pox vaccine has been tested in the UK,
49:31
of all places, considering this comes from the Democratic Republic
49:35
of Congo. So they you see the new monkeypox vaccine
49:39
being tested, and when you went to look into it,
49:41
you could see that it was a trial called Empower
49:45
where they were looking for healthy volunteers. So I went
49:48
to look at m Power and found out that Empower
49:52
is of course Maderna. This is all to do with
49:54
the Maderna UK strategic partnership, which is why the United
49:59
Kingdom has been picked for this. So when I went
50:02
to look at the trial itself, it's a randomized control group.
50:07
You can see all the details there. It's a thirteen
50:10
to fourteen month study of course this is going to
50:12
be mRNA because Maderna are an mRNA company. Nine visits,
50:17
three phone calls, three hundred and fifty participants, all coming
50:20
from the UK. And of course we know that monkey
50:25
pox or mpox is being targeted towards the gay community
50:30
because they say that it can be picked up with
50:32
bodily fluids sexually transmitted. And I just want to remind
50:38
people that mRNA, the mRNA injection appears to wake up
50:42
latent infections and latent disease. And today we see a
50:47
rising gonorrhea and we also see antimicrobial resistance with that
50:52
as well. So a lot going on with regards to
50:55
sexually transmitted disease. And I have to say that a
50:59
global health emergency would sure disrupt any elections that might
51:03
be coming up, wouldn't it.
51:06
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Do you want to make a little comment on
51:09
your blog? We've got to a bit limage here.
51:12
Speaker 5: Yes, Well, actually have a look at the blog. Is
51:14
if you want to supplement your income, many people are
51:17
actually signing up to clinical trials to supplement their incomes.
51:21
And now we're going to be teaching children at a
51:24
very early age, at the age of five, how to
51:26
spot spot conspiracy theories, and there's a load more in
51:30
there this week too.
51:31
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for that comprehensive run through. So
51:35
on one hand, the governments in UK, the US and
51:39
governments in Europe are progressing the slaughter in the Middle
51:42
East and in Ukraine as just two examples, but they
51:46
say to their own public, to their own publics, you
51:49
should trust us. Mark, Let's bring you back. Because of course,
51:53
lots of manipulation going on around democracy in the States,
51:57
and you've got a little segment here on the manipulation
52:01
of elections.
52:04
Speaker 4: Yes, Brian, A quick comment about Kamala Harris from earlier,
52:08
all the media going all in for her despite the
52:12
fact that she was the first to drop out in
52:14
the twenty sixteen Democratic presidential library primary. Excuse me, the
52:19
first to drop out in the Democratic presidential primary of
52:23
twenty sixteen, and the polling showing her hitting incredibly high
52:28
poll numbers is extremely bogus, ordering on fake. And soon
52:32
I'll have some news on UK column about the pollsters
52:36
themselves and their backgrounds. But going into voter GA voters
52:40
organized for trusted election results in Georgia Garland. Favrito, who
52:44
I've interviewed on the UK column before and we can
52:48
put that interview link in show notes. He came out
52:51
about twenty one days ago, about three weeks ago, and
52:54
addressed the State Election Board of the State of Georgia.
52:59
And there's Garland as he is giving the presentation. And
53:03
this was an extremely pivotal presentation that he gave, and
53:08
it shows how the news media is completely contradicting the
53:12
actual sum and substance of that meeting. This quote from
53:15
Garland spells out what he had to say to the
53:20
state Election Board at the beginning of his presentation. This
53:23
is Garland himself, the co founder of voter GA. I
53:26
want to talk to you about the most important case
53:29
in election board history. This is more allegations than all
53:34
the other complaint complaints combined, since I have been attending
53:38
election board meetings for twenty years. For twenty years, he emphasized,
53:43
and viewers may recall on the interview that I did,
53:47
he really exposes Georgia to be ground zero in proving
53:52
that the twenty twenty elections were in fact stolen. Anyway,
53:57
these are the main two points the election Board three
54:01
weeks ago acted on as a direct consequence. Brian of
54:05
Garland's presentation. I wrote these myself due to Garland's sixteen
54:10
minute presentation. About twenty one days ago, the Georgia Election
54:13
Board voted for memory card retention and reconciliation for a
54:19
two year minimum, applying yes, it does, applying to the
54:23
twenty twenty four presidential election and all the other down
54:26
ballot races that will appear on the ballot. This adheres
54:30
to both state and threaderal law and pertains to in
54:33
person voting. Also on the second point, also due to Garland,
54:38
the board voted in favor of a procedure to detect
54:41
QR code errors that reject ballots and exist within the
54:46
dominion computerized vote casting at vote counting system. These are
54:50
really huge items. A memory card basically electronically think of
54:55
a ballot box full of pieces of paper. A memory
54:58
card is a digital version of that. So there's much
55:03
more than meets the eye there. This is very significant. Meanwhile, however,
55:07
the media is painting a completely different picture of that
55:11
Georgia State Election Board meeting. The media is trying to
55:15
say that the state Election Board ran at a bunch
55:18
of new powers to about one hundred and fifty nine counties.
55:22
I believe there is in the state of Georgia, and
55:25
these new powers will empower each county, the officials in
55:29
each county to endlessly second guess the election results and
55:34
to upend and create chaos throughout the whole process. This
55:37
is an NBC news item here, Georgia gives local officials
55:41
new powers to investigate election results. And again they're trying
55:46
to say that this is going to just throw the
55:48
whole system into chaos. But here's what Garland said on
55:51
that same slide in response to that news item. This
55:55
is all a facade blaming Republicans. If Kamala Harris doesn't
55:59
do well, then GOP or Republican meddling can be blamed.
56:03
There is nothing new. Georgia law already has given counties
56:08
plenty of leeway. So the media is exaggerating, if not
56:13
outright fabricating, what that board meeting was about, and avoiding altogether,
56:19
avoiding altogether what Garland had to say in his sixteen
56:22
minute presentation and what the board did in response to
56:26
what Garland, Favrito said. So this is just another news clip.
56:32
I need not really go into it. Georgia gave local
56:35
officials significant new powers over the certification of election results
56:39
a move that could delay or derail future post elections
56:44
certification processes came out of that same August seventh NBC
56:49
news report. So it's completely skewing what happened at that
56:53
meeting and misrepresenting the main thrust of what the board decided.
56:58
Brian as in the Kamala Harri situation and now in
57:02
this one, the media is completely using misdirection and sometimes
57:06
outright fabrication on these very pivotal issues because Georgia is
57:11
ground zero. Grad Raefensberger, the Secretary of State of the
57:15
State of Georgia, is like the proverbial guy with the
57:18
finger in the dike and the waters want to come through.
57:23
So therefore Georgia is where this whole thing could blow
57:26
wide open. And as goes Georgia, so goes the rest
57:30
of the pivotal states from the twenty twenty election where
57:35
all of this would come out. And how the Secretary
57:37
of State has managed to control this so far to
57:41
this degree is really amazing. But Georgia stands at the
57:45
brink if Garland is fully successful of completely coming apart
57:50
and having to completely admit the myriad, the myriad evidence
57:57
of election tampering and theft in that state, and again
58:01
that would implicate the other states as well, the pivotal
58:04
states from that election, So this is a very pivotal issue.
58:07
Will keep a very close eye in the state of
58:09
Georgia to see if the Secretary of stake and keep
58:12
the tide waters away. It'll be an amazing if you can.
58:15
But we'll see what happens. So back to you, Graham.
58:18
Speaker 1: Mark, thank you very much for that, and let's remember
58:21
that the tide waters that you describe are really the truth.
58:24
It's the truth that's going to come through that hole
58:27
in the dam, and it's the truth that can do
58:29
so much for us with so many problems that we face,
58:33
not only within the Western societies but across the world.
58:37
So we'll end the UK Column News there. I'd just
