- 0:08Good afternoon. Today is Monday, the thirteenth of May twenty twenty four,
- 0:13just after one o'clock. Welcome to uk column News. I'm your host today,
- 0:17but I'm delighted to say I've got Charles Mallett with me in the studio.
- 0:20Welcome Charles to a very very wet Plymouth, I must say, but
- 0:26we had a glorious weekend, so I think we'll just have to put up
- 0:29with the raid for the next couple of days. We've also got Mark Anderson
- 0:34with us from the States, and we're hoping very much to have Diane Rasmus
- 0:39and mcaddy on with us to give a little report. She had an interview
- 0:43with Scottish TV this morning, but we're not sure whether she's able to join
- 0:48us or not, so we'll see when the time comes. Well, we're
- 0:52going to kick off with matters to do with Ukraine and Charles. Amazing things
- 0:59happening over the last of the days because the Russians have opened up a new
- 1:02front in the Kharkid direction. Whether this is to produce a buffer zone to
- 1:07stop the repeated attacks on the Belgarov area, or it is the start of
- 1:14a bigger campaign into the northern region of Ukraine. I'm not sure, but
- 1:19what is interesting is how things are being reported across the board by Ministry of
- 1:25Defense in uk That's it, Brian, Good afternoon, all. Yes,
- 1:30So what we'll do is have a look at the intelligence picture, or at
- 1:33least the way that the Ministry of Defense is casting the intelligence picture. So
- 1:38they put out regular updates from Defense Intelligence, and as a sort of small
- 1:45case study, we'll just look at the update from today in which they concentrate
- 1:49on Russia's use of light vehicles effectively. The inference the reader is supposed to
- 1:55draw is that there aren't enough armored vehicles left and therefore that the Russians have
- 2:00had to resort to desperate measures, and that the Ukrainian f the drones have
- 2:05already demonstrated their ability to effectively target such light vehicles. So the question is
- 2:09is this really intelligence or is it something else, at something else that forms
- 2:15part of the information war. And we'll look further at the intelligence update from
- 2:21the tenth of May, in which they report on the Russian Victory Day parade,
- 2:27and again the question is is this really intelligence? They talk about sixty
- 2:30one military vehicles on display. There was an absence of heavy armored vehicles or
- 2:35tracked military vehicles. The lone ceremonial Second World War era T thirty four tank
- 2:40starting the parade was the sole main battle tank present. This contrasts with the
- 2:45twenty twenty Moscow parade, which included twenty main battle tanks. Well, I'm
- 2:50sure anyone who's been following any form of news, but particularly the UK column,
- 2:53will have a fairly good idea as to why twenty main battle tanks might
- 2:57not have been deployed on such a parade. But of course the defense intelligence
- 3:01are saying that the significant losses of Russian Russian personnel and equipment as a result
- 3:07of the Ukraine War, there was no opportunity for Russia to use the parades
- 3:10to demonstrate military strength. Again, I would question as to whether that is
- 3:15intelligence. Further, we look at the battlefield situation, or at least how
- 3:19it's being cast, and is this really objective intelligence. Specifically, the little
- 3:25parts that identify Crimea and which we're told that it's Ukrainian territory annexed by force
- 3:31by Russia in twenty fourteen, and the donbas is referred to being Ukraine territory
- 3:37under de facto control of Russia since twenty fourteen, begs the question what is
- 3:44defense intelligence, what is it for? And who controls it? The government
- 3:49website states that it's part of strategic command. Defense intelligence empowers decision makers in
- 3:54Ministry of Defense by providing intelligence products and assessment. Will the language use there
- 4:00empowering decision makers? But to do what and with what? Critically oversight?
- 4:08Now they say that intelligence activity must be subject to external scrutiny. Now I
- 4:14would agree this is absolutely critical, And they go on to talk about the
- 4:17Investimenttory powers Commissioner inspecting Defense intelligence records. So they set out the case as
- 4:23to how things should actually work. But let's look back to the annual report
- 4:27from the Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament from twenty twenty two to twenty twenty
- 4:31three, and in particular the statement given by the chair, Sir Julian Lewis
- 4:38explaining what the intelligence community is and therefore where defense intelligence sort of sits within
- 4:42that. But particularly he concentrates on the current lack of oversight of those parts
- 4:46of other policy departments engaged in security and intelligence activities and the impact on the
- 4:51assurances that can currently be provided to a parliament. Sorry to Parliament and the
- 4:57public regarding those activities is a of serious concern. He goes on and talks
- 5:03about the government failing to update the committee's remit to include those parts of polity
- 5:08departments to which intelligence and security responsibilities have been devolved, and says it is
- 5:13deeply disappointing that effective scrutiny of national security issues is being prevented in direct contravention
- 5:18of commitments given to Parliament. So the question whether the government has really thought
- 5:23through the consequences of its current position. Further, he goes on to talk
- 5:28about the oversight being frustrated and describes that it therefore cannot provide any assurance to
- 5:32the public or Parliament that the intelligence agencies are acting appropriately. So this is
- 5:38fairly damning, and he wraps up by saying the National Security Advisor himself acknowledged
- 5:42the intelligence communities license to operate is dependent upon credible oversights. So it looks
- 5:49really like what defense intelligence are producing. And indeed, the lack of scrutiny
- 5:55is creating a huge amount of very political not just that, but also it
- 6:01allows a narrative, a creeping narrative involving conscription and fear, and indeed the
- 6:09idea of war with Russia to creep in, and I would illustrate that with
- 6:14the slide that the British Army have up at the moment talking about Steadfast Defender,
- 6:17which I've shown before, and I think it's almost impossible to interpret an
- 6:23illustration like this without thinking that in some way we are already at war with
- 6:30Russia. And further, just to sort of square the circle, we look
- 6:33at Chathamhouse publishing this just last week a piece called the UK should not rule
- 6:40out sending troops to Ukraine despite Putin's nuclear threats, and there's a picture of
- 6:45David Cameron, who of course was reported on just last week as having said
- 6:49some fairly extraordinary things about the use of the weapons that Ukraine was being sent
- 6:56by the UK, which Brian spoke about on Friday. He and specifically said
- 7:00without caveats and indeed effectively washed his hands of whatever might happen to British munitions
- 7:08once they've left for Ukraine, and he said that their decision about how to
- 7:11use these weapons is entirely their affair. So the part that Defense intelligence seems
- 7:16to be playing in all of this is highly questionable, and indeed it's really
- 7:21very hard to look at it as a straight intelligence product. Bran, I'm
- 7:27sure you've got a comment to make on exactly the way that things are looking
- 7:31well. Well, my comment, particularly on the tweets being put out by
- 7:35Defense Intelligence is how unbelievably childish they are to try and suggest that Russia's so
- 7:42short tanks it couldn't put them at the parade. Is just utter nonsense.
- 7:47But there can only be one thing going on, and that is that Defense
- 7:50Intelligence is attempting to mislead the British public as to what's really happening. And
- 7:57this is misinformation and it's information and as such, to me it forms propaganda
- 8:03to give the public mind a different opinion than reality as to what's actually happening
- 8:09in Ukraine. So I think this is pretty shocking and a lack of oversight
- 8:13being stated. There's some serious questions need to be asked. Okay, well,
- 8:18if that's what's happening overseas. My attention was focused rapidly over the weekend
- 8:24by a number of people saying have you seen this document, which indeed I
- 8:28hadn't. It's called the Antisemitism Policy Trust Conspiracy Theories, a guide for members
- 8:35of parliament and candidates. Now when you see these documents, it's always good
- 8:39to have a look at who's involved. I'll come back to these particular organizations
- 8:43in just a moment, but it says here special thanks to Dr Matthew Sweet
- 8:50for advising on this guide, and I'll come back to him in a minute.
- 8:54But if you go looking a little bit for this document, a Guardian
- 8:58article pops up quickly. What conspiracy theories are UK and ps being told to
- 9:03look out for? MPs and election candidates are being given a guide about conspiracy
- 9:09theories covering topics such as five G and the climate crisis. But some important
- 9:16information in here, because the Guardian says the guide was commissioned by Penny Morden,
- 9:22the Leader of the House of Commons, who launched it with the Shadow
- 9:26Leader Lucy Powell a mid concern about impact conspiracy theories, in many cases with
- 9:31anti Semitic overtones. Well, a bit more detail on what this thing was
- 9:37about. Let's bring in a bit more texts the guide to inform members of
- 9:43Parliament parliamentary candidates about the risks and to try and draw out some of the
- 9:48key themes in order that you can be prepared to quickly assess and understand new
- 9:54conspiracy theories as they emerge. In this guide, we outline what conspiracy theories
- 9:58are, their appeal, and an oversight of eight prominent conspiracies in the United
- 10:03Kingdom, and it goes on to say that conspiracy theories do not exist in
- 10:09isolation, but share and borrow core components. Numerous conspiracy theories are rooted in
- 10:16anti Jewish racism. Key in this text, of course, is that the
- 10:20MPs are not bright enough to work out what is a conspiracy theory or not
- 10:24themselves. They should rely on this document by the Antisemitism Policy Trust. So
- 10:31our MPs unfortunately just not bright enough to work out what's true and what's not.
- 10:37But if we go on through we start to see more information on Twitter.
- 10:43This is Matthew Sweet who was tweeting out that it was strangely sorry.
- 10:48It shows that there's something about the strangely touching faith that conspiracy theorists have in
- 10:52the power of institutions and the desire to see patterns that don't exist, which
- 10:58has so often end up with fantasies about secret Jewish power. Very very quickly,
- 11:03the heavy pro Jewish or conspiracy theories which are being flagged up as being
- 11:11anti Semitic. This is the meat of this document. So if we move
- 11:16on through, these are some of the organizations connected. We haven't got time
- 11:20in today's news to go into them in detail, but let's bring in the
- 11:26first one here CST. Now, this organization is almost like a private police
- 11:33force to protect the Jewish community, but it says that it's also screening them
- 11:37from racism, anti Semitism, and ultimately it's working to promote and help the
- 11:45Jewish community at all times. So the minimum you can say is this is
- 11:48an extremely pro Jewish organization. Here's the Global Network on Extremism and Technology.
- 11:56And if we bring in some text here, we find that this is an
- 12:01academic research initiative backed by the Global Internet Forum to counter terrorism. So this
- 12:07is getting darker. This is operating worldwide, but apparently this organization is helping
- 12:13to educate our MPs. Here's tell Mamma. Now, this one is supposedly
- 12:20protecting the Islamic community from anti islam comments and racism. In the small print,
- 12:28it says tell Mamma is a National project of Faith Matters CIC Community Interest
- 12:35Company. I'll bring the text in in white, so it's not hidden in
- 12:39the small print. But my question for the audience is a little prompt and
- 12:45just who is faith matters cicee? Because once we get investigating faith matters cicee,
- 12:50it becomes even more difficult to see who's behind them. So this guide
- 12:56for our politicians which Penny Mordant has has commissioned, very very difficult to see
- 13:03who is really the power behind it in many areas. If we mentioned full
- 13:09fact, well that's an easy one because just do you search on UK column
- 13:13and you can find that we've warned and warned about the duplicitous nature of this
- 13:18organization over many years. One article full fact equals faux fact. But have
- 13:24a look on UK column and you can see some of our concerns and warnings.
- 13:30But a big thank you to Mike Robinson who is away speaking at the
- 13:33weekend about the clamp down on free speech, and he had mentioned the very
- 13:41Institute for Strategic Dialogue tied in with this anti Semitism organization and here it is
- 13:48powering solutions to extremism, hate and disinformation, mentioning elon Musk. But it
- 13:56says it partners with government, cities, businesses and communities to deliver solutions at
- 14:01all levels. Headquartered in London, with a global footprint of teams in Washington,
- 14:07Berlin, Aman Roby and Paris. So this isn't a small organization.
- 14:13It's actually very powerful. But now it's advising British MPs. If we carry
- 14:18on through, it says that they're tracking online manipulation, disinformation, hate and
- 14:24extremism in real time. So does this mean that we're all being watched now
- 14:28to see whether we dare to say something which could be construed as anti semitic.
- 14:35It's a very worrying situation. But also it says that they're working to
- 14:39empower civil society, fostering networks of community influencers and saying that we've trained over
- 14:46thirty two thousand activists and social influencers at around the world. So I'm going
- 14:52to suggest this document that Penny Morton has commissioned is nothing to do with protecting
- 14:58the Jewish community. This is about locking down on other members of the community
- 15:05and using these very powerful organizations to do so. So if we just come
- 15:09back to the document, there was one other name that caught my attention.
- 15:13Let's bring in a big before we do this is hidden when you look at
- 15:18the document, but there's a little bit of a subliminal It says the Earth
- 15:22is flat, which of course is to catch the eye of those politicians reading
- 15:26the Anti Semitism Policy Trust document. But this was the other name that caught
- 15:33my eye, Aria Kovla, And when I went looking for him, we
- 15:37quickly come to Twitter and he says, hey, that's my name on the
- 15:41cover. I was proud to contribute to chapter on global control conspiracy theories in
- 15:48the Great Reset. To this guide, this is the gentleman concerned, very
- 15:52young, not sure what his expertise is, but he gets onto the World
- 15:58Economic Forum very quick to say that this is one of the big targets of
- 16:03conspiracy theorists. He then mentions the Great Reset, but not to worry,
- 16:07because this is just something that Prince Charles got involved in. So encourage viewers
- 16:15today to go and have a look at the Green King series on the UK
- 16:19column when Debbie Evans and myself have been warning and warning about the real power
- 16:25that King Charles has and what work he's doing to enact this global reset.
- 16:30But just to stress the fact that the basis for this document is to protect
- 16:37people from anti Semitism. It's extremely pro Jewish. Here, we've got a
- 16:44diagram they have where all of the key chapters of the Antisemitism Policy Trust Document
- 16:51are linked back to antisemitism. And basically, I'm saying that any critical analysis
- 16:56of policy according to these people is antisemitism. If we go to the conclusion,
- 17:03we don't need to spend long on this, but I will encourage people
- 17:06to go through these particular areas. Basically, again, it comes down to
- 17:12the fact that MPs need this help to inform inform themselves and their constituents.
- 17:22But basically it says that when people are presented with verified, reliable facts,
- 17:26they start to pay attention. Why is it then that when we challenge the
- 17:30government and global organizations for the verified, reliable facts, we're simply told to
- 17:37be quiet. So I'm going to win this segment by saying that in reality,
- 17:41this report is designed to stop busy MPs from thinking for themselves, and
- 17:47it's also designed to channel MPs into believing any chrism of government global policy is
- 17:52conspiracy theory, and as such, that means that this document itself is information
- 18:00and propaganda. A lot to be discussed there, Charles, but we'll save
- 18:07that for extra I'm just going to play a little clip here of a video
- 18:11that was sent into us. This is this is by a music band and
- 18:22let's have a look at this and then I'll explain what it's about and we'll
- 18:25show the full video extra time. There are people out in the world right
- 18:32now that are drinking something called raw milk. The top concern for the next
- 18:37two years is not conflict or climate. It is disinformation and misinformation, the
- 18:49sharing of biased and unfortunately misinformation. Hm. Well, there we are a
- 19:18little taster from raw milk conspiracy. If you want to see the full music
- 19:23video, join us for UK column extra time. But we're going to poke
- 19:27a bit of fun back at the Anti Semitism Policy Trust and what conspiracy is
- 19:34and is not. Well, let's move on to an area which is also
- 19:38of interest to many people concerned about real conspiracies, and that's Builderberg. Welcome
- 19:45to today's news, Mark, what have you got for us? Well,
- 19:51the main thing, gentlemen, is that we pretty much know where a builder
- 19:55berg is going to happen, and we got a pretty good jump on it.
- 19:57Normally, as we know building meetings dot Org their official website, they
- 20:03don't want to release the information where and when until almost the last minute,
- 20:07because they don't want conspiracy theorists quote unquote journalists hanging around much less the so
- 20:12called legacy media. But what we have here in this first slide is that
- 20:18Nea Tider, which is Swedish, that Swedish media outlet, had some communication
- 20:22with the government and they evidently found out that Bilderberg will take place in Madrid,
- 20:27Spain, the thirtieth of May through June second, so a pretty good
- 20:33jump compared to what Builderberg meetings would be willing to do. Also shown in
- 20:37this slide that first slide was The Nordic Times, also in Scandinavia, and
- 20:44moving on from there, the first American website to pick it up, American
- 20:48Free Press Builderberg twenty twenty four found in Spain, and there's a picture of
- 20:53the hotel and it's the Eurostar Hotel, the Eurostar Hotel as it's known.
- 21:02Moving on from there here we get into a little bit of the Swedish publication
- 21:08Neo Tider's angle that they got this from as the first magazine in the world.
- 21:15I'm not sure what they mean by that. I'm reading from this slide
- 21:18here Neo Tider discloses where and when twenty twenty fours Builderberg Medium will take place.
- 21:25This publication has been in contact with the Swedish government office and invoked Sweden's
- 21:30constitutionally protected principle of public access to official records. That's doing better than the
- 21:37American government could ever do, and probably UK's as well, in order in
- 21:41order to be able to obtain documents regarding for this. Let's not go too
- 21:45fast on the one slide to another. Anyway, there's been correspondence and Neo
- 21:52Tider was in touch with a secretary to a EU men named Angela. Thanks
- 22:02for the call earlier. As I mentioned, it concerns the minister's availability to
- 22:07attend the Builderberg meetings in Madrid on May thirty until June second, etc.
- 22:12Et cetera. Moving on from there anyway, the invitation to Buildeberg came from
- 22:23Sarah Nimot Sarah Nyman excuse me at investor AB, the mighty Swedish business family,
- 22:30Wallenberg's investment company. The email reveals a startling fact. Sarah Nyman who
- 22:36invited the minister. The Swedish Minister, in fact has no position within the
- 22:40Builderberg Group. Instead, she's employed at investor AB as executive assistant to Marcus
- 22:45Wallenberg, which in practice means that she is the closest secretary to that Swedish
- 22:51business magnate. It is also from an email address at investor AB that she
- 22:56contacts the Swedish Cabinet Committee. Moving from there, here's a little bit about
- 23:03mister Wallenberg himself, vice chairman at investor AB, the Wallenberg Spears investment company
- 23:08through which it owns large shares and thus gains decisive influence in large Swedish and
- 23:15international companies. For example, investor AB is the largest shareholder in the Bank
- 23:21SEB, where Marcus Wallenberg is chairman of the board of directors. He is
- 23:26also notably, of course, a member of the Builderberg Group's exclusive steering committee,
- 23:30which is between thirty and forty members, which is responsible for who comes
- 23:34and where they're going to meet, financing what they're going to talk about.
- 23:38The fact that his secretary, Wallenberg Secretary is now inviting the EU minister indicates
- 23:45that it's mister Wallenberg who's really in charge of which Swedish ministers come. That's
- 23:51the Naya tider's outlook or opinion on what's happening in her reply to Sarah Nima,
- 23:57the secretary at the Swedish government's Cabinet Committee, Angela Kennedy, responds that
- 24:03the EU Minister Roswall will not be able to participate. Which ministers will participate
- 24:08is thus still unknown to the public in terms of Swedish ministers anyway, the
- 24:14Builderberg group's well known strategy, as I mentioned earlier, is to wait until
- 24:18the very end to make the meeting and its participants public, with the aim
- 24:22of making media scrutiny more difficult. Information before or after the meeting is also
- 24:26not made public by any governments, claiming that whoever attends the meetings does so
- 24:32as a private person that ties into the Chatham House rule. We'll go from
- 24:36there. Naya Tider was the only Swedish newspaper they're claiming to reveal. And
- 24:42this is interesting that the government's NATO negotiator, Sweden's NATO negotiator Oscar Stenstrom attended
- 24:49the Builderberg meeting last year in Lisbon, Portugal. And here's the notable part.
- 24:55His presence was secret. He was not on the official list of participants.
- 24:59Guys. Shortly after the meeting he resigned from his position. We're told
- 25:03at the Swedish government office and was instead then employed by Marcus Wallenberg himself.
- 25:08So this is one example, guys that we've heard of over the years when
- 25:11I would cover Builderberg with Jim Tucker at AFP in years past, that there
- 25:17were always assumed to be people there that were not on the official list released
- 25:22by the official website Builderberg Meetings dot org. And that's one example. There
- 25:26have been others. In this last lide, we have kind of an interesting
- 25:30twist, and that is at wikispooks there is we'll call it a conspiracy theory.
- 25:38I'm being a little bit tongue in cheek here. There's information reasonably convincing
- 25:44that Builderbergers, as I'm sharing here have taken a part, have taken part
- 25:48excuse me, in pandemic planning exercises. That is, people that have attended
- 25:52Bilderberg over the years, they're saying, have been instrumental in COVID pandemic exercises
- 25:59and anywhere active in early twenty twenty promoting fear and doubt and setting the scene
- 26:04for the COVID event, controlling the narrative to promote the fear of the novel
- 26:10deadly virus. In May twenty twenty and at least fourteen people who have attended
- 26:15Builderberg this alleges signed something called the United behind a People's Vaccine against COVID nineteen,
- 26:22which is being called a call to create an infrastructure capable of rapidly injecting
- 26:29everyone in the world with the COVID jabs, which they correctly predicted would appear.
- 26:33They populated, they being people who have attended Builderberg fairly frequently. They
- 26:38populated COVID task forces and locked the world down and uncritically pushed these vaxes to
- 26:45the point of announcing mandates. So that Wikispook's link, which I shared,
- 26:51viewers can look at that later and decide for themselves. But it's a very
- 26:56intriguing and compelling posts there at wikispook, and it's a lot of food for
- 27:02thought. But anyway, there's more to share on the other Builderberg later in
- 27:07the show. That's very intriguing. And that's it for now, guys.
- 27:10So it looks like the jiggers up and it looks like we know where they're
- 27:12meeting. Well, thank you very much for that. Well, of course,
- 27:15in my head we know that they're unbelievably secretive and there's only one reason
- 27:21that you hold meetings in secret, and that's to deny people information. And
- 27:26the fact that you are reporting and we are reporting on this. According to
- 27:32the Anti Semitism Policy, trust means that we're automatically into a conspiracy. No,
- 27:37we want the truth about what's actually happening inside these meetings, so we'll
- 27:41continue to ask questions. Thank you very much for the report. Now,
- 27:47I'm very pleased to say that Diane Rasmusen mcaddie has been able to join us.
- 27:52Diane, can you hear me? Yes, Brian's great to be here
- 27:56and appears as though they're doing a fire all arm test in a library at
- 28:00the exact time that I'm on the spear, so apologies for that. So
- 28:04yes, I just came from stv uh the situation on the Finnetty case.
- 28:08I'm not sure if you'd like to say a little bit more about that,
- 28:11or if you like to share the video that I brought Diana. I think
- 28:15what we should do is, I've got a little clip from the video that
- 28:18you kindly pointed us to, so let's have a listen to that. It's
- 28:22mister Swiney himself talking about the for Nesie case. Let's let's watch that and
- 28:26then we'll bring you back on screen. So all of those questions will be
- 28:33explored as part of the processive proper consideration of the issues that are eased for
- 28:37media. So are you holding yours hole for them? And they could be
- 28:40included, but the panel legislated for a particular scheme which has got eligible as
- 28:45it stands, they say exclusive on the vier the petitions Committee in the moodment
- 28:48and they see the excludsive or you know, these issues are explore, will
- 28:52engage with the petitions committee. The Petitions Committee has criticus points to the government
- 28:57and they will be considered to watch. Robson was there. She refused to
- 29:00do that. She said that there was no fun into that. Well,
- 29:03but we will look at all of that evidence to see if there was.
- 29:06He will look again a friends, Well, we're looking at that to them
- 29:08and whether there is any opportunity to pursue the issues that are raised by the
- 29:14individuals that are concerned. But what I'm maintain is the part of that is
- 29:17taking decisions already to establish a scheme on that basis, and that's what we
- 29:22need considered. But can you give them any hope to they as possibilist.
- 29:25But what I'm saying out is that we have an approach to redress which is
- 29:29being followed assiduously within the see. I am pleased that the individuals whould be
- 29:34supported as a consequence of that scheme and the gable, of course engage with
- 29:38individuals you seek eligibility to that scene. I'll just say it's possible that the
- 29:48audio was a little bit low on that. What mister Swinney was saying.
- 29:52He was being challenged about would the Finethe ladies be allowed to take part in
- 29:57the Scottish redress. He was saying there are a number of checks and balances,
- 30:03but essentially it was picking up that he was indicating that they would be
- 30:08able to come forward and to make application. But Diane, you've done the
- 30:14interview with Scottish TV this morning. What's your take on mister Swinney and what
- 30:19he was saying. Well, I was there Brion with four of the Finette
- 30:25survivors who were interviewed as well, and they showed us that clip and then
- 30:29asked us for our reactions to the clip. The reaction from the women,
- 30:33first of all, is that they were angry. They felt like they were
- 30:36getting nowhere. Once again, I feel like even though John Swinnie likes to
- 30:41take responsibility for setting up the criteria and the redress scheme when he was Deputy
- 30:45First Minister, he doesn't understand his own criteria. And I say that because
- 30:51the problem is that if you read the criteria, and this is part of
- 30:55the evidence that I had submitted in support of the petition from the Finesias Vibers
- 30:59to the government, is that it specifically excludes them because of phrases like short
- 31:03term care, things like holiday home, things like restpit facility. We know
- 31:08that holiday home, restpit facility, convalescent are not accurate under the way it
- 31:14was set up under Glasgow Education Corporation, that it was a residential school.
- 31:17I have made that point over and over again. It wasn't like the parents
- 31:21dropped them off the holidays. So the key issue is whether or not they
- 31:25are considered in local parentice in care of the state, which I was able
- 31:27to establish they are through the various acts and bills and legislation and structures that
- 31:33were in place at the time. But what John Swinney said back in January
- 31:37twenty twenty three, and I quote, I do not think that there is
- 31:41an inherent impediment to applications coming forward and being considered. To put it slightly
- 31:45more bluntly, I reject the idea that the scheme is not for feinite these
- 31:49survivors. I think that it is possible for Fromiz these survivors to be successful
- 31:53in applying under the scheme. So my concern is that he doesn't understand his
- 31:57own criteria and he seems to be backpedaling just a bit from what he was
- 32:01saying back in January of twenty twenty three. Brian, I'm very sad to
- 32:07hear that, Diane. I must say, when I listened to that clip
- 32:10this morning, I was thinking, this is an interesting statement. This may
- 32:15be a difficult question for you, but what about Scottish TV, a major
- 32:20media channel north of the border. Do they seem to understand the importance of
- 32:24getting the finethe women into the redress system? They do? And I will
- 32:30say first of all that my allegiances live with UK Colum and I was only
- 32:34ONSTV because I was asked to be there. But Colin Mackay is the reporter
- 32:38who's been following it. But one of the problems that they've had in recent
- 32:42Times is they have invited Scottish TV to cover the last couple of meetings that
- 32:46we've had with Additions Committee. However the last minute the reporters have pulled out,
- 32:51saying there was no camera person available or they can't make it, somebody's
- 32:55unwell. But Colin actually got them in today because this was his first interview
- 33:00with John Swinney's First Minister that he had last week, and he specifically asked
- 33:05about for Nettie because he's been following the case very carefully. I would say
- 33:08that Colin mackay realizes that Seanna Robinson's performance in the committee two months ago when
- 33:15we were there was terrible and he felt like John Swinney's reply was slightly better.
- 33:21But I also don't see the strength that we signed him when he was
- 33:23in Deputy first Minister. I'm wondering if the pressure is on him a bit
- 33:27now that he is the boss and he has to make a decision when we
- 33:30or the other what to do with potentially thousands of abused women that went to
- 33:32for Neie Diane. Very good point. We could just say, is he
- 33:37the boss and all the other people behind the scenes who are powerful enough to
- 33:42pull strings on mister Swinney himself who knows, but we'll watch this with interest.
- 33:47I'm going to say thank you very much for the report and of course
- 33:51we will stay supporting for for NEI women and doing everything we can. And
- 33:57I know that you're busy with more research to the archives, so thank you
- 34:01very much for joining us and we will have you back again. Well where
- 34:07does that take us? It takes us on to UK column itself and we
- 34:12say to our audience, if you're watching us, wherever you are, you
- 34:15care overseas, please do join us and support us and take out a monthly
- 34:22subscription because we can only do what we do with your financial support. And
- 34:28we are very grateful to the people who support us on a monthly basis because
- 34:32you've enabled us to be what we are. We would like to expand and
- 34:37cover more as many people are asking us to cover more subjects. The information
- 34:43we put out is there to be shared. Please do mentioned UK Column when
- 34:47that material goes out, and we'll just say that if you haven't made a
- 34:51purchase from UK Column shop, go online and have a look at the shop
- 34:54to see whether there's something that attracts you. Because all of this helped Now
- 35:01tomorrow at one pm, we've got Alex Thompson's interview with Yuri Rosca. He
- 35:08was a Moldovan politician who served as Deputy Prime Minister of Moldover in two thousand
- 35:15and nine and I'm sure this will be an extremely interesting interview with him and
- 35:22Alex Thompson, So tune in at one o'clock tomorrow for that. And the
- 35:25next one I can call on screen is a UK Column event Sunday May the
- 35:31nineteenth at one o'clock to three pm, and that's from National Security to Biosecurity,
- 35:38Global power, dynamics and the erosion of freedom in the twenty first century.
- 35:43And this is a symposium in honor of the late Graham McQueen, author
- 35:47of the two thousand and one Anthrax deception The Case for a Domestic Conspiracy.
- 35:52Oh my goodness, there's that word again. And we've got Madava Seti MD
- 36:00and Merrill Nas MD, both of whom have made comments common challenges facing freedom
- 36:07movements, observations from an engineer and anist the logist. If I pronounced that
- 36:15one correctly, that's Mahart Medava Setti and biowarfare, biosecurity and the who Pandemic
- 36:22Preparedness agenda is Merril NAS so do tune in to see that. Okay,
- 36:29well, where does that take us? I think this brings us back to
- 36:30you, Charles, and you're on the subject of water. Indeed, water.
- 36:36We've spoke a lot about food and the probable scarcity of it towards the
- 36:40end of this year on various UK column broadcasts. Recently we have not spoken
- 36:45too much about water. But we start with a publication or announcement from the
- 36:50OEP, the Office for Environmental Protection, which appears to be rather mundane and
- 36:53that it concerns regulations. But they say they find it deeply concerning that there
- 36:58are issues with how the laws in place protect England's rivers, lakes and coastal
- 37:01waters are being put into practice. This comes from a recent review of implementation
- 37:07of the Water Framework, Directive Regulations and river basin management planning in England.
- 37:12Now I would caution against taking this at face value, but I will nonetheless
- 37:16read from the executive summary. They say that the government is not on track
- 37:20to meet the environmental objectives it has set under the regulations. Where they're concerned
- 37:24about the environmental objectives with the twenty twenty seven deadlines of the sense of urgency.
- 37:29There, the measures in place and planned and the funds committed are not
- 37:31yet close to being enough to meet these outcomes for most water bodies. Without
- 37:37significant additional action and resources applied with pace and ambition, they appear likely to
- 37:42be missed by a large margin. So we've got that on the one hand,
- 37:46talking about the regulatory side of things. But what it encourages to have
- 37:51a look at what DEFRA have to say about their plan for water for the
- 37:54United Kingdom, and in particular the Integrated Plan for delivering clean and play into
- 38:00full water. But what is it in actual fact that they do. Look
- 38:02at Chapter two here delivering a clean water environment for people and nature, and
- 38:07this is now charming very much with policy on food land and indeed woodland.
- 38:15But they talk about being in a naturally and healthy, sorry healthy and naturally
- 38:19functioning state. River streams, ponds, lakes, wetlands, estuaries and coasts
- 38:22deliver multiple benefits for society indeed, but how these benefits include flood risk management,
- 38:30carbon secret situation, clean water and drug resilience. Access to blue spaces
- 38:36can also boost health and well being. Restoring our water habits will mean that
- 38:39people and wildlife can still benefit from these ecosystems for generations to come. That
- 38:45may well be the case, but how exactly are they going to benefit and
- 38:50under what conditions? So we'll look a bit further into water policy or what's
- 38:54been going on recently, and believe it or not, I don't know what
- 38:58the weather's like with you today, but here it's bucketing down. As Brian
- 39:00said, we've got the National Drought Group meeting after a record wet October to
- 39:06March, and apart from the sort of in Congress nature of that headline,
- 39:10we will actually look at what they say because it is very significant. By
- 39:14twenty fifty we may need nearly five billion additional meters of water per day to
- 39:20meet the demand for public water supply. So we will look back or think
- 39:22back to the pace and ambition that the OEP were talking about, and that
- 39:27leads us to something that Debbie was talking about on Friday, which is sorry
- 39:31previous Friday, the third of May, and it's the World Economic Forum Global
- 39:37Water Initiative and specifically the Champions for Water Innovation, within which they talk about
- 39:44supporting a range of collaborations to identify and scale up a new generation of public
- 39:49private collaborations that can accelerate implementation of strategic development. So sorry, Sustainable Development
- 39:55Goal six, the dedicated goal on water and sanitation. And they conclude by
- 40:00talking about re energizing and reframing the global dialogue on water security. So it
- 40:07was Joan hang on, I've for gotten my name, Joan Vino, I
- 40:12think, sorry, Von who Debbie cited as really picking into this idea of
- 40:17the public private partnership and in effect this is exactly where we see the direction
- 40:22of travel in the UK. And of course the other thing to bear in
- 40:24mind is the utter failure to address the increase in population over the last forty
- 40:30years, with the failure to have built any more reservoirs. We've got Haven't
- 40:35Thicket Reservoir, which I have spoken about before. And just to remind you
- 40:37that although they're casting it as being a freshwater drinking supply and actual fact a
- 40:42significant proportion of the water that goes into it for drinking will in fact be
- 40:46recycled. They say it's going to be ready by twenty twenty nine. Is
- 40:49that the case? Anglian Water talking about a bold new vision on the Fens
- 40:53Yorkshire Water eight point five million given to a service reservoir project underway. So
- 40:59there are things happening now, perhaps on a slightly more trivial or at least
- 41:04apparently trivial basis. There is a press release today from DEFRA talking about the
- 41:10number of new bathing sites getting the go ahead, and the reason I would
- 41:15posit that this is significant is that it talks about reforming the bathing water regulations
- 41:21and in particular increasing the monitoring, and they talk a lot about monitoring outside,
- 41:27monitoring outside of the bathing water season and preventing automatic dedesignation of existing bathing
- 41:32water sites. Of course, the point being that once you have designated a
- 41:37bathing site, then you have control over it, and that's exactly what we're
- 41:40seeing with the production of food. It's all to do with the control of
- 41:46the particular piece of land. When we think about this in terms of the
- 41:50Sustainable Markets in theitiative and the Terra Carata thirty by thirty and this push to
- 41:54be effectively controlling spaces in order that access to those may be perhaps restricted in
- 42:04future for the public. The other thing, of course, that control of
- 42:07bathing site gifts is the ability for the government to be able to dangle the
- 42:13specter of fear from a public health concern. And we see here headline from
- 42:19the Telegraph talking about the possibility of polluted water, and on the public private
- 42:23partnership side of it, new civil engineer reporting about the Environment Agency appointing a
- 42:29consultant for a seventy million pound contract for mapping climate event data. And we
- 42:35just finish off here with JBA Consulting tweeting out that they're excited to be part
- 42:39of this appointment for the mapping and modeling framework. So, as I say,
- 42:46the point here is the ability of these bodies that are able to control
- 42:52water, the use of water, and indeed to effectively exactly as Joan Vionn
- 42:59was talking about, to take assets that are really public assets that are initially
- 43:04controlled by the state and hand them over to corporations for all sorts of gains
- 43:08that would not be to the public advantage. A no conspiracy there, absolute
- 43:14fact in what you're reporting, Charles, which is an important thing I think
- 43:17to stress today. Okay, thank you very much for that. Now where
- 43:22does that bring us? I think that's back on to Mark Anderson, who's
- 43:25going to bring us up to date. The latest from the World Health Organization,
- 43:30another organization seeking control. What's important, gentlemen and listeners in UK coylum
- 43:39Land, is that the May ten deadline was reached. Government's degree in this
- 43:45WHO press release, I'm reading from Government's degree to continue their steady progress and
- 43:50proposed Pandemic agreement ahead of the World Health Assembly. And it's dated May tenth,
- 43:55and that was the last official day of the inter government negotiating body that
- 44:01was created a couple of years ago or so to negotiate this treaty, and
- 44:06the treaty is now being called a treaty most of the time by the World
- 44:10Health Organization. I need that previous slide up still with the headline, if
- 44:15I may anyway just a little bit of this. Governments of the world today
- 44:21agreed to continue working on a proposed Pandemic Agreement. They use the word agreement
- 44:25and treaty interchangeably, and to further refine the draft ahead of the seventy seventh
- 44:30World Health Assembly that starts May twenty seven and ends June second, almost in
- 44:37line with Bildeberg, which is May thirty through June second. Governments meeting at
- 44:40THEWHO headquarters in Geneva agreed to resume hybrid and in person discussion over the coming
- 44:47weeks to advance work on critical issues, including around a proposed new global system
- 44:53for pathoge and access and benefits sharing, that is, life saving vaccines quote
- 45:00quote, treatments and diagnostic pandemic prevention, and of course the one Health philosophy
- 45:06which looks at humans and animals and plant life on the same level and same
- 45:10value judgments, and the financial coordination that's needed. So what it means,
- 45:16though, is the I ANDB stopped their official negotiating on May tenth, as
- 45:21promised, and now they're really just going to resume at the World Health Assembly
- 45:25itself, as is being indicated at least by all indications. Now, there's
- 45:30a couple of quick quotes in this brief report. This is from a May
- 45:34third press conference that I covered. This is Precious met sos As she's known
- 45:40a WHO apparatic. She said this the adoption of a treaty is not the
- 45:45end of a process. It is a beginning. Once the World Health Assembly
- 45:50adopts this pandemic agreement, then it kickstarts other processes, firstly at a country
- 45:55level. And there's one other quote from her. There must be ratifications,
- 46:01she says, by parliaments, and we have to get a threshold of countries
- 46:06that ratifies to treaties so that it can come into force. So she's basically
- 46:10saying that parliaments, which would include Congress on our side of the pond,
- 46:15will have a stab at this. The noted WHO watchdog James Ruguski James Reguski
- 46:21dot substack dot com, he has some doubts about the veracity of that.
- 46:27He thinks they're being a little disingenuous and just telling people what they want to
- 46:30hear, and that they'll take a largely executive approach to this and not let
- 46:37the elected people in parliaments and Congress have much, if any say. I
- 46:40guess that remains to be seen. The US Senate rules on treaties does provide
- 46:47for the constitutionally required advice and consent by the Senate, where two thirds a
- 46:52supermajority of the one hundred Senators have to vote yes or no on a given
- 46:59thing like this treaty. However, in the Senate rules, it does provide
- 47:02for an alternative that would be largely, if not totally, an executive decision,
- 47:07where the President would make the call and the Senate would be cut out
- 47:12of the equation, so the involvement of our elected reps guys kind of remains
- 47:16to be seen. The other thing is that there's a statement in article thirty
- 47:22five of the draft treaty that I find very ambiguous and hard to understand.
- 47:25But at the press conference I covered May third, where these photos came from
- 47:29that I took, they said that sixty nations would have to adopt the treaty
- 47:36for it to come into force. The only thing that I'm not clear on
- 47:38is would it be sixty and then it would go to the parliaments or would
- 47:44sixty countries through their parliaments have to vote on this to make it come into
- 47:47force. Which way would it be? So I'm trying to unravel that,
- 47:52and next week I hope to have that completely ironed out as to exactly how
- 47:58this would come into force. If it does, and there's still some language
- 48:01being used, I'll end with this where they're still kind of suggesting that they're
- 48:07not quite as far along on this thing as they'd like people to believe,
- 48:10So it's possible they'll get past the World Health Assembly without adopting this treaty which
- 48:16would buy a lot of time for those that are against it, and so
- 48:21much remains to be seen. But that's the latest news. Okay, well,
- 48:24thank you very much. Well that one seems to me to be another
- 48:28power grabbed by the World Health Organization. Meanwhile, we're still trying to deal
- 48:32with what took place around COVID itself. And I just want to say a
- 48:37very big thank you to people north of the border who gave me a little
- 48:42bit of a prompt to cover some of the material about the Scottish COVID inquiry.
- 48:47And I've got a short section here, but we hope to have more
- 48:51in the coming UK column News edition. So this is BBC News here with
- 48:57a report Scottish COVID Inquiry. Public wanks to share experiences of pandemic. But
- 49:02when you get into the text, it says that the Scottish government will the
- 49:07inquiry will take place from the first of January twenty twenty to the end of
- 49:12twenty twenty two. It's investigating pre pandemic planning, the decision to go into
- 49:16lockdown, supply and distribution of personal protective equipment, and how the virus was
- 49:22dealt within care homes. It will establish facts and lessons learned, so nobody
- 49:29is going to be brought to book for this. It's all lessons learned.
- 49:32Let's just have a look at a very short clip showing how this inquiry is
- 49:37conducted and a young lady speaking about how she was adversely affected during the COVID
- 49:45nineteen period. No, good morning, mister, Ami, morning, my
- 49:52lord. Our next witness is Keith Stott and her witness statement reference for the
- 49:59record is sci WT zero three nine seven dash five zeros one. Good morning,
- 50:08miss Stott. Good morning. Right, mister Bramley's got some questions for
- 50:13you, and we'll just start when she's ready. Thank you, my lord,
- 50:17Good morning, miss Stot. Morning. Starting with your background briefly,
- 50:22you had a few health issues as a child, which resolved by adulthood,
- 50:29and as an adult you began experiencing Crohn's disease, and alongside that you have
- 50:35annual bouts of strep throat, alongside reactive arthritis and weakness in your legs.
- 50:40Is that correct? Correct? Yes, thank you. I'll just say it's
- 50:45tragic what people experienced during the COVID nineteen period, and I think it's interesting
- 50:55how few people there are in that room Charles. When I look at it,
- 50:59we've got a TV screen and man who's not even present, he's on
- 51:02a TV screen, one or two people in the room, and so many
- 51:07people adversely affected. So I found that very sad. If you want to
- 51:13see more information on sorry, I just pop back here. If you want
- 51:19to see more reliable information on what actually took part took place with COVID nineteen
- 51:24North of the Border, there's a very good substack here, the biologically biology
- 51:30for non substack, and I was kindly sent a couple of reports by Moira
- 51:36Dundee. So we've got Scottish COVID nineteen inquiry Impact Hearing, Health and Social
- 51:42Care, and there are a number of people who spoke out about really tragic
- 51:50events around what happened to family members and loved ones. I've got another one
- 51:55here. Highlights from this session include Miss Lorrainezi representing pamis speaking of the hearts
- 52:02from lockdown restrictions on her disabled son David. So if you want to go
- 52:07to this particular substack, I'm told that the information there is extremely good.
- 52:15This is another one where a lady lost her brother. I think he was
- 52:20just forty one and she says the doctors were lying to me on a daily
- 52:23basis, nurses were lying to me on a daily basis. Everything that was
- 52:28in my brother's notes was different to what I was being told on a daily
- 52:31basis. An in set on screen, we've got a freedom of information response
- 52:37in Scotland where the authorities have been asked to tell the total amount of death
- 52:43where COVID nineteen was noted as the soul cause of death on a death certificate
- 52:49within all hospitals in the NHS Tayside from twenty twenty to twenty twenty three.
- 52:54And if you look at the responses, if it's eighty plus years, which
- 53:00would be extremely vulnerable, in the top section, we've just got five,
- 53:06then seven, then less than five and less than five. So these are
- 53:09very small numbers of the people that we were all being told were unbelievably vulnerable.
- 53:15And then I'd like to just add to this short report that Moira Dundee,
- 53:21who UK Column knows as very gutsy woman, and you can listen to
- 53:24my audio interview with Maura if you go to the UK column website. She
- 53:30told me yesterday that when activists including herself, tried and failed to hand in
- 53:36witness statements to the police, which included evidence of Ford signatures. A police
- 53:42sergeant said, I should not be taking on an investigation myself. This will
- 53:49would go to a national COVID inquiry. The police know, we all know
- 53:52COVID inquiries have no law enforcement powers, which I mentioned. They're simply there,
- 53:59they say, to find facts and report lessons learned. But it goes
- 54:05on to say by refusing to accept evidence complaints against NHS doctors, Police Scotland
- 54:10is showing blatant selective law enforcement. Doctors are clearly being protected. And she
- 54:16then says this begs the question, if it's not a police matter, NHS
- 54:22doctors describing drugs which hasten death and forging patient signatures, why did the police
- 54:29investigate doctor Harold Shipman. Either all doctors ought to be investigated when suspicion arises,
- 54:35or no doctors investigated. Harold Shipman was regarded as perhapsing excellent medicine biased
- 54:42colleagues, a doctor told disciplinary hearing today and that was as reported by the
- 54:46Guardian. So I'm going to say a big thank you to Maurra Dundee for
- 54:51that little report. UK column will do more on what's been happening north of
- 54:57the border in due course. But do have a look at that obstat and
- 55:01where does that bring us back to yourself? I think it does and to
- 55:06space, which you may or may not have detected, has received an awful
- 55:12lot of sort of press coverage government announcements is great sort of generation of enthusiasm
- 55:16about all things concerning space. And the somewhat surprising headline from Vascan News just
- 55:22last week that the head of NASA, Bill Nelson, on the Vatican observatori's
- 55:28work to explore the heavens, and this is reinforced by the NASA website itself.
- 55:31He's off to Italy, Vatican and Saudi Arabia. And here we are
- 55:36we see the Vascan Observatory website talking about faith inspiring science, which might ask
- 55:42one or two questions about the beliefs of the Catholic Church. We won't get
- 55:45ogg down in that. But however, what it does seem to obscure and
- 55:47obfuscate is what's been happening at the United Nations. And on the twenty fourth
- 55:52April, the announcement that the Security Council failed to adopt a first ever resolution
- 55:58on arms race in out of space due to negative vote by Russian federations.
- 56:01So, of course the UN presumably supposed to be impartial in these matters,
- 56:06very much blaming Russia. But what they do at least have the grace to
- 56:09do is report what the Russian representatives said, which is that the Council is
- 56:15involved in a dirty spectacle prepared by the US and Japan. He described it
- 56:20as a cynical ploy. We are being tricked, and critically here he recalls
- 56:24that the ban on placing weapons of mass destruction in outer space is already enshrined
- 56:29in the nineteen sixty seven out of Space Treaty, and he said that in
- 56:34Washington and Tokyo and their allies are cherry picking weapons of mass destruction out of
- 56:38all other weapons, trying to camouflage their lack of interest in outer space being
- 56:43free from any kinds of weapons. So, in effect, what is this
- 56:46all about, and what were the US and Japan up to and how does
- 56:51that bear relation to what the United Kingdom has to say about this? Well,
- 56:54really, it concerns that what might be described as the militarization of space,
- 57:00upon which there was a House of Commons briefing paper put out in twenty
- 57:04twenty one, and within that there is the statement, of course that in
- 57:07the last few years there's been considerable investment by several states, most notably Russia
- 57:13and China, in offensive counter space capabilities that potentially threatened the use of space
- 57:17by UK and its allies. The US has responded by calling for a rapid
- 57:22increase in the development of counterspace capability and the adoption of more aggressive politics and
- 57:29postures. So for context, let's look at the graph they produce here,
- 57:32which shows at the top the absolutely overwhelming majority of space capabilities going to the
- 57:38United States, and in particular on the right the lighter green color government or
- 57:43military. China again has a similar amount of government or military, but those
- 57:47two dwarf absolutely all the other nations, of course, including Russia, which
- 57:52is always blame for everything at the moment. The United Kingdom's worth noting,
- 57:54has predominantly commercial satellites. But why is this relevant now? It's because that
- 58:00man Elon Muski seems to be able to do absolutely everything all the time,
- 58:05is of course running his SpaceX projects and in particular the star shield, which
- 58:13is described as being available or designed for consumer and commercial use. But it's
- 58:19also designed for government use, with an initial focus on three areas, which
- 58:22are Earth observation, communications, and hosted payloads. Well, now, what
- 58:27exactly does that mean? Here we go star Shield described as supporting national security,
- 58:32but of course star Shield is based on the star Link capability, which,
- 58:37ironically, when I took this screenshot, told us that it's currently experienced
- 58:40degraded service. But nonetheless it has high speed Internet around the world, or
- 58:45at least not quite. And when we consider the implications or ramifications of this,
- 58:51and in effect, the privatization of war, this here is starlink,
- 58:55and I've titled this enabling the right kind of war, because of course starlink
- 59:00is not made available to either Russia, China, Belarus, Afghanistan, North
- 59:05Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, Syria, or Iran. So we're presented with
- 59:12a situation in which we see this as described by the host Commons, militarization
- 59:16of space, but certainly not a level playing field, and indeed one in
- 59:21which even the United Nations is beginning to meddle and exhibit a significant amount of
- 59:25partisanship. So, to pardon the terrible pun, we will be watching this
- 59:30space. Thank you for that. Now we're coming close to the end of
- 59:37today's news. But Mark, just take us through the Other Builderberg. I
- 59:45can be brief. There's no reason to be too wendy. Here. The
- 59:49Other Builderberg always takes place in Idaho at Sun Valley Resort, a stunningly pash
- 59:55resort in southern central Idaho. And here from Fortune we have a headline inside
- 1:00:01the yearly summer camp for billionaires for Silicon Valley execs and media bigwigs, hosted
- 1:00:07by one of Wall Street's most exclusive and I might say elusive firms. Going
- 1:00:13on from there, very briefly, what we know about the ultra private Sun
- 1:00:19Valley Conference, host the twenty twenty three all we have information on is last
- 1:00:23year. We don't have twenty twenty four yet. The twenty twenty three Allen
- 1:00:28and Company Sun Valley Conference, dubbed the annual Summer Camp for Billionaires, kicked
- 1:00:32off in the mountain resort of Sun Valley, Idaho, in exactly two weeks
- 1:00:36ahead of when this was written. So basically, it'll take place in mid
- 1:00:40July in Idaho, and I'll have more on it later. Only a handful
- 1:00:45of photographers are allowed to attend. The media cannot be there except I'll mention
- 1:00:51now we'll skip this slide about the history of Allen and Company. We'll come
- 1:00:54back to that later. But they do have offices in New York City and
- 1:00:58London. I'll mention that. And Allen and Company is one of the most
- 1:01:01secretive financial firms I've come across, and they're the organizers of this conference.
- 1:01:07The important slide is the next one, and then we can wind up and
- 1:01:13the one after that. I'm sorry this one here. The firm Allen and
- 1:01:16Company is behind a number of significant deals, and these deals, according to
- 1:01:22The Observer, were largely either seated or started or consummated at these annual conferences,
- 1:01:28which have been going on since about nineteen eighty two or so in Idaho,
- 1:01:32Disney's merger with ABC in nineteen ninety six, Google's initial public offering in
- 1:01:38four the eighteen billion dollar merger between Activision and by Bendi Games twenty eleven,
- 1:01:45Twitter's IPO twenty thirteen, Jeff bezos purchase of The Washington Post, which is
- 1:01:51basically the CIA's owned newspaper tied to Bildeberg's founding. I might add twenty thirteen,
- 1:01:57and Facebook's nineteen billion dollar purchase of What's appened twenty fourteen. And I'll
- 1:02:01conclude, guys by noting that NYA Tighter the Swedish publication that earlier in this
- 1:02:07broadcast I talked about breaking the fact that Bilderberg's evidently going to MEETIA in Spain
- 1:02:13this year in Madrid. They also had another report that said the Sun Valley
- 1:02:19conference actually involves intelligence officials and news and entertainment moguls and that they supposedly plot
- 1:02:29out how the news will actually be carried out, how the news will be
- 1:02:32composed in conjunction with the government. Now that's a bit out there, maybe
- 1:02:37in some people's eyes, but that's what NYA Tider was claiming. At the
- 1:02:40very least, media is much more of a focus at this Builderberg than the
- 1:02:45other Buildeberg. This one in Idaho is mostly media and big tech. The
- 1:02:51one in this has been meeting since nineteen fifty four. Of the original Buildeberg
- 1:02:54is of course much broader, with treasury officials and NATO and Royalty and things
- 1:03:00like that. So there'll be much more of this between now and mid July,
- 1:03:05of course, But the other Builderberg has emerged and who knew? Right?
- 1:03:09Who knew? Mark? Thank you very much, indeed for that,
- 1:03:13And I'll just say to our audience here we are asking questions about what these
- 1:03:17immensely powerful global corporations are up to, what they're doing in secret meetings behind
- 1:03:23closed doors. Utterly outrageous that when we do this we should have organizations like
- 1:03:30the Anti Semitism Policy Trust accusing us and many other good people of being conspiracy
- 1:03:37theorists. It's truly outrageous. Will end's there, big thank you to our
- 1:03:42audience for joining us. Diane, I can still see you on screen.
- 1:03:45Are you able to join us for extra? I'd be delighted to you.
- 1:03:49Brian, thank you. Okay, that's really good. So we will have
- 1:03:52Diane, Rasmus and mcaddy with us for extra as well. We can discuss
- 1:03:58a little bit of the for Nehi ladies, but for our monthly subscribers please
- 1:04:02join us in a few minutes for UK column Extra. That's it for today.
- 1:04:10Thank you for joining me, Charles at all. Just to clarify the
- 1:04:13timings for the symposium, thank you. Sunday we'll be from six o'clock to
- 1:04:17eight o'clock British summer time. Yes we said as if it was at UK
- 1:04:23time, so in fact, it's six to eight in UK time. Thank
- 1:04:27you for the reminder. We'll end there. Bye bye, bye bye
