- 0:08Good afternoon. It's Wednesday, third of July twenty twenty four, just after
- 0:11one o'clock. Welcome to the UK, call them News and your house make
- 0:14Robinson joining me in the studio today. We're back in the studio. Charles
- 0:17Mallett, thank you, Mike good oftenoon All and Vanessa Billy from Damascus will
- 0:21get started with the general election, and we'll just want to begin by saying
- 0:26good luck to everybody that's standing as an independent. We've put Andrew Bridging on
- 0:30here as being possibly the most well known independent, but nonetheless lots of people
- 0:35standing is independence. And also good luck to anybody standing in some of the
- 0:38smaller parties that generally don't get any media coverage whatsoever. And we'll see how
- 0:45that goes tomorrow. Nobody is holding out for a terribly satisfactory results across the
- 0:54board. You know, no matter who wins, whether it's a Tory or
- 0:59Labor, we know who it's likely to be. But in Northern Ireland the
- 1:03issue is around the dup, of course. And here is sir what's his
- 1:10name? Hike Godness, I can I have Jeffrey Donaldson. Thank you,
- 1:14Sir Geoffrey Donaldson, who is back in court today on allegations of abusing well
- 1:22sexual impropriety, let's put it that way. And his wife also in court
- 1:26on charges of aiding and a betting, and this of course leaves up in
- 1:33a bit of trouble and we wait to see what the result of that is
- 1:36going to be. Meanwhile, in France, of course, what have we
- 1:40got over there? We've got Marie Lepenn apparently on the verge of success.
- 1:46So Macron called this snap election because of what happened at the European parliamentary elections.
- 1:53But it seems that the French electorate not so happy with them, so
- 1:56they obviously although it was inconclusive in the first marine Le Penn was very successful
- 2:02at that wasn't decisive, but that continues. But this, I just thought
- 2:07this tweet Charles was fantastic from Kenneth ross Ad stake in the French and US
- 2:12elections are the defense of Ukraine's democratic future from Putin's colonial invasion and with it
- 2:17the prospects for democracy in Europe. The far right has a different plan and
- 2:22I had to respond to this on Twitter by saying, yeah, peace,
- 2:25because you know, it is an incredible situation that now if you are pro
- 2:30peace, you're labeled as far right, and you're apparently feared by the mainstream.
- 2:38Absolutely, that's completely the way it's gone, and it will continue to
- 2:42go I think. I mean it's relentless. Yes, So we'll see what
- 2:45the result is tomorrow or sorry, we'll see what the result is on Friday.
- 2:51But the voting taking place tomorrow and hopefully Andrew Bridging will succeed, as
- 2:58will many of the other indo. But in the meantime, as we talked
- 3:00about earlier on just after the election was called, there was a wash up
- 3:07and legislation and so on. But it's not just legislations affected by the election,
- 3:13no, it's not. And in addition to talking about independents and the
- 3:16struggles that they face, we've talked about the systemic issues which restrict what we
- 3:21might consider to be the democratic process. We'll just go through the wash up
- 3:24as it is described by Parliament, by the House of Commons, which in
- 3:28effect means that certain bits of legislation that were in Parliament are effectively scratched.
- 3:35And here we see that on the prorogation of Parliament on the twenty fourth,
- 3:38there were just two days for a wash up so rather than looking at what
- 3:42did get through, we'll look at what didn't. And of course on the
- 3:45government side, which is of significance, Criminal Justice Bill therefore hanging in the
- 3:50balance and effectively has been wiped off the slate for now, and just a
- 3:53reminder that contained things about nuisance begging and certain prevention orders which we've spoken about
- 4:00many times before. On the Private member's bill side, again things we've touched
- 4:04on in the past, the Disestablishment of the Church of England Bill, which
- 4:09will come on to contextualize later, the Fetal Sentience Committee Bill again which was
- 4:14hijacked by the pro abortion lobby, the Police Declaration Bill, essentially trying to
- 4:19create a situation by which police would have to declare membership of and affiliations to
- 4:26certain societies, the sites of special scientific interest concerning natural England in particular.
- 4:30And then of course the Holocaust Memorial Bill, which is worth noting because it's
- 4:34a hybrid bill and therefore because of its status as a hybrid bill, it
- 4:39says that on the twenty second and May, or rather sorry, after the
- 4:43motion on twenty second and May, the bill could be reintroduced in the new
- 4:46Parliament. Well. Now, given the airtime and the influence behind it.
- 4:53I would suggest that absolutely it will be seen again. And a reminder on
- 4:56the petitions front that if you have start a petition or signed a petition to
- 5:01the government, a reminder that that has all been wiped as well, so
- 5:05we'll have to be started again after the election. Now, the other thing
- 5:10we've talked about, of course is the nature of information, and in particular
- 5:14I've talked about offcom and the Electoral Commission, the process by which independent candidates
- 5:17are in effect suppressed and pushed out of media space and indeed the public space.
- 5:24So it is an information war. And on that front, i'd highlight
- 5:27a report just published by Global Witness in which they say that an investigation reveals
- 5:31content hosted by bot like accounts on x has been seen one hundred and fifty
- 5:38million times ahead of the UK elections, and they think this is cause for
- 5:41concern. Now I've titled this slide what about AI because they say that when
- 5:46the conversation we're seeing online isn't authentic because it comes from bots accounts run by
- 5:51computers that have been programmed to look like humans, then there is cause for
- 5:57huge concern. Now, the reason, of course I've the reference to AI
- 6:00is that in every other arena, in effect, we are being told repeatedly
- 6:04the content that is created by humans for computers to operate, supposedly, generatively
- 6:11and independently, is absolutely the thing that we do want. And yet,
- 6:15of course in this situation, they are choosing to take the opposite line.
- 6:17Now, scratching the surface and finding out where Global Witnesses influences, funding and
- 6:24alliances come from, we'll just have a quick look at some of those that
- 6:27are involved now. Simon Taylor, co founder of Global Witness, also involved
- 6:31and in the launch in two thousand and two with George Soros and other ens
- 6:35including Transparency International and Save the Children Fund. And then we've got Patrick Alli,
- 6:41another co founder involved, or at least as a former president, described
- 6:46by a former president of the Open Society Foundations as somebody who's helped bring together
- 6:50issues of human rights, corruption, the trade in natural resources and so forth.
- 6:55And then we've got Fatima Hassan who's South African human rights lawyer, but
- 7:00she led the Open Society Foundation for South Africa for six years, which of
- 7:03course is associated with Soros. Now, as if to prove my point that
- 7:10Global Witness is in effect a tool of censorship. I put a video on
- 7:15x Twitter this morning and Kenny, who knows more about tech than I ever,
- 7:20will put it into the Google Gemini AI program and asked it to do
- 7:26something for him well, and asking it to summarize and read a little bit
- 7:30of context for it exactly so, and highlighted in read there it says that
- 7:35it removed the mention of Soros funding to avoid perpetual, perpetuating conspiracy theories,
- 7:41and it shortened the sentence about social media censorship. Now, I never suggested
- 7:47anything other than the fact there was a link between Soros and the Open Society
- 7:51Foundations and Global Witness, which is evident on their website. Now this takes
- 7:59us towards which of course is to be regulating this space and other spaces besides.
- 8:05So just a reminder really of the part about the funding of offcom and
- 8:11e who pays the piper calls the tune. So, as they state in
- 8:16this article, we want to address some misunderstandings about how we're funded. Contrary
- 8:20to what some people think, Ofcom is not funded directly by taxpayers or the
- 8:24government. Most of offcom's funding comes from fees paid to us by the companies
- 8:30we regulate. Now, you will have watched enough UK column news about the
- 8:33MHRRA to know that that is not a sensible system to get people to mark
- 8:39their own homework. But nonetheless, that is in fact how offcom is structured.
- 8:45So we look at something from their annual reports. They say strengthening offcom
- 8:48for the future. I say strengthening censorship and they say that to develop our
- 8:52understanding of the technologies used to deliver online services. As we prepare to regulate
- 8:58online safety, it remains a priority to stay ahead of industry changes and to
- 9:03ensure this, they've invested in learning and development and conducted specialist recruitment. Now
- 9:09what would that mean, Well, it means that they're going to deepen their
- 9:11understanding of the technology industries. They've hired colleagues from Meta, Google and bodies
- 9:18such as the Internet Watch Foundation and NSPCC. In October twenty twenty one,
- 9:24we welcomed a new chief technology officer from Amazon with a brief to oversee the
- 9:30growth of our technology, data engineering, and analytics functions. So, given
- 9:35the background to this, and as discussed at the start, the suppression that
- 9:39we've seen of particularly independent candidates it seems more clear and more likely than ever
- 9:46that regardless of the result of the general election result, it will be the
- 9:50corporate and supernational influences upon the new government that will continue to push the censorship
- 9:58mechanism, control mechanism and all the measures that come with it in the same
- 10:01direction. But of course we wait and see exactly how that's going to manifest.
- 10:07Indeed, now on the subject of censorship, on the subject of trust,
- 10:13because trust is very closely linked to censorship, the lower of the trust
- 10:18in the social and sorry in the mainstream media, then the more censorship of
- 10:22alternative narratives goes on. Well, somebody, quite a nuther of people were
- 10:26pushing a report by Statistic around the social media over the last couple of days.
- 10:31This was from June the twenty eighth, and the question is where do
- 10:35people distrust news media? And this is from Floren's aunt, and he's saying
- 10:41the rise of missing disinformation on social media and increasing perception of bias and the
- 10:46reporting of legacy legacy media outlet's has led to trust in media institutions declining over
- 10:52the past years. As a result, Statistic Consumer Inside survey of thirty eight
- 10:56countries shows whether people trust or distrust the media, and how it differs by
- 11:03a geographical region. So let's just bring their graph on screens that we can
- 11:05have a look at this, and this is where the people brackets dis trust
- 11:11news media share of respondents who don't trust mainstream media in their country of residents.
- 11:16And they're showing that the UK, the United States, parts of South
- 11:20America, Australia, India are sitting around the sixteen to twenty percent of people
- 11:24not trusting the mainstream news media, in Canada, in Brazil, in South
- 11:30Africa, parts of Europe, Republic of Ireland, China it's around the ten
- 11:35to fifteen percent. France is doing pretty well there at twenty one to twenty
- 11:39seven percent according to this particular survey. And they're saying one, this is
- 11:45one thousand to ten thousand online respondents eighteen to sixty four years per country,
- 11:48surveyed between April twenty twenty three and March twenty twenty four. So that's what
- 11:54they're saying, But that those statistics to me seemed a bit low based on
- 11:58what we'd seen in many other similar surveys over the years, So maybe they
- 12:05should have statistic should have done some looking at their own data from previous years.
- 12:09So let's bring this one on screen. News consumers with a great deal
- 12:13or quite a lot of confidence in the press in the United Kingdom as of
- 12:16September twenty twenty two by generation, and we see that the percentage of pre
- 12:24war So that's people in there, I suppose seventies and idies now who have
- 12:31quite a lot or a great deal of confidence in the press. In the
- 12:33UK, it's only twenty five percent, and it goes down to five percent
- 12:37once we get the generation Z or gen Z. So you know, that
- 12:43doesn't seem to quite tally. I mean, I appreciate the ones looking at
- 12:46distrust and the others looking at a great dealer or quite a lot of confidence,
- 12:50but still the figure seemed to be quite there's quite a bit of disparity
- 12:54there. And then if we look at the press gazette. Now this is
- 12:58from twenty twenty three, the UK has the second lowest level of trust in
- 13:01press in survey of twenty four countries. Only Egypt reported lower levels of trust
- 13:07in press than the UK. So this was from March twenty twenty three,
- 13:11and when they updated this in January twenty twenty four, trust in media UK
- 13:16drops the last place in Edelman survey of twenty eight nations. The annual survey
- 13:22asked how many people trust the media to do what is right? So I
- 13:26would suggest that the the graphic that's being center around social media at the moment
- 13:31on statistic is vastly underestimating the levels of distrust in the mainstream press that we
- 13:37have in the UK and across the world, particularly the Western world. And
- 13:43there are many other sets of data that might be a bit more accurate on
- 13:48this, but anyway, we'll talk more about this an extra no doubt.
- 13:52Now let's move on. Then we mentioned Egypt there Finessa, Let's welcome you
- 13:54to the program, and well, what is going on in Egypt at the
- 13:58moment? Well, many things going on in Egypt, but I'm going to
- 14:03focus today on basically the EU debt quagmire that Egypt is being put into.
- 14:13So report in the last couple of days from Politico EU finalizers up to one
- 14:18billion in aid to Egypt as part of a migration deal, and similar deals
- 14:24were made with Genesia, Oritania and Turkey took curb immigration from the Zionis genocide
- 14:33in the occupied territories and in Gaza into Europe. We saw a very similar
- 14:37affair, of course, during the regime change war in Syria and the migration
- 14:41process from Syria into Europe, which was being basically damned as in putting an
- 14:48obstacle by Turkey. So I apologize for this very creepy photograph of our favorite
- 14:56Bonda Lion on the left meeting with President Ceci and Caira a couple of days
- 15:00ago. And why am I comparing it to Vonderlyon and Zelensky, Because in
- 15:05my opinion, Egypt is rapidly heading towards becoming the Ukraine of West Asia.
- 15:11It is absolutely mired in debt. So the EU on Saturday finalized a deal
- 15:18for the disbursement of up to one billion. The overall fund that is being
- 15:24given by the EU to Egypt is above seven billion, but this is basically
- 15:31macro financial assistance within their partnership geared at curbing irregular migration and boosting the North
- 15:37Africa country's economy. Signed a memorandum of understanding for the financing during the EU
- 15:43Egypt Investment Conference in Cira that included President abdolfat LCCI and European Commissioned President on
- 15:52the Lion, and if we look at what they're actually going to be investing
- 15:58in. As I said, compare this to Ukraine, where, of course
- 16:03much of Ukraine's resources and industry has been taken over by foreign investors. The
- 16:11Egypt partnership has been strongly criticized by human rights groups. You see it as
- 16:15another EU cash for migrant control deal. The macro financial assistance of up to
- 16:21one billion will provide a total of up to five billion in favorable loans to
- 16:26Egypt. The agreed policy actions covers three pillars, promoting macroeconomic stability, improving
- 16:32the business environment, enhancing Egypt's competitiveness, and supporting Egypt's green transition. They
- 16:40also signed the Green Sustainable Industry Program supported by thirty million EU grant, the
- 16:45help Egyptian industry to invest in pollution reduction, decarbonization, energy and resource efficiency,
- 16:53and three financing agreements worth a total of thirty six million as part of
- 16:57bilateral corporate programs. But then let's have a look at Egypt's entire debts.
- 17:03So total debt is one hundred and sixty five billion, which I actually think
- 17:07is underestimated, including twenty eight percent to Gulf Arab States, the UAE,
- 17:12Saudi Arabia, Qait Kata and others including Jordans that have heavily invested and actually
- 17:18effectively bought up sectors of Egyptian territory, particularly within the Sinai and on the
- 17:26Red Sea coast. I've actually written at my Substacker series of three articles talking
- 17:33first of all about the economic trap and then CC deepening ties both economic trade
- 17:41and SAW and in fact, during twenty twenty four, Egypt's exports to Israel's
- 17:47sword as did the UAE and Jordan, despite the fact that Israel is conducting
- 17:52a genocide in Gaza. And then finally the mafia bosses that are running the
- 17:56business and including the Gaza four CC in the Sinai. Now this was put
- 18:03out by WikiLeaks yesterday. A verified document from the Israeli Ministry of Intelligence in
- 18:10October twenty twenty three suggests ethnic cleansing force displacement of Gaza civilians to Egypt would
- 18:17yield positive and long term strategic results. The document and visions of three stage
- 18:22process, including the establishment of ten cities in Sinai in the opening of humanitarian
- 18:27corridor, followed by a construction of cities in northern Sinai from which there would
- 18:33be no return. Now we have actually reported on this previously, but I
- 18:37did take a very quick look at the document and if we see, the
- 18:41document also states that the US must be harnessed. This is translated from Hebrews,
- 18:47so the English might be a bit all over the place. The United
- 18:52States effectively must be harnessed for remove to put pressure on Egypt to absorb Gaza
- 18:56residents, and to harness other European countries, particular Greece, Spain and Canada.
- 19:02Isn't European, but you get the picture, to help absorb and settle
- 19:06the refugees who will be evacuated through Gaza. The document was said not to
- 19:11be distributed through the US Office to officials, but only to Israeli government and
- 19:15security. And then further on in the report on the document, in relation
- 19:22to the difficulty that Egypt will have an obligation in international law to allow a
- 19:26population transition because Egypt is objecting to mass migration of Gazan refugees into the Sinai.
- 19:36Although we have also reported on the fact that Egypt has apparently been preparing
- 19:41an open air compound on the Egyptian side of the Rafa border. I think
- 19:47that was back earlier this year. The US can contribute to the move by
- 19:52exerting pressure on Egypt, Turkey, get out, Saudi Arabia and the Emirates
- 19:56to contribute to the initiative or re sources or absorption of displaced persons. So
- 20:03what I believe is effectively going on here, Egypt has very little control or
- 20:07very little sovereignty right now. As I said, it's completely mired in depth.
- 20:12What we are seeing I financial incentives and incentives of cooperation and collaboration from
- 20:19the EU and from the IMF, which I think is going to be used
- 20:23to leverage Egypt in the future to accept refugees from Gaza so Vanessa. Assuming
- 20:33that this is the plan, that they tend to build these tense cities and
- 20:37then eventually build real cities to accommodate these people. What's Egypt's attitude to the
- 20:45Palestinians. Will they eventually see Palestinians being brought into mainstream Egyptian society or are
- 20:52they going to try to build a water further wall around this new infrastructure.
- 20:59Yeah, I mean this is this is what I expect will happen if this
- 21:02goes ahead. As I said, all of these plans are effectively planned.
- 21:06Nothing concrete is being put into action right now, and Egypt publicly is saying,
- 21:14you know, very vehemently that it doesn't agree to guards and refugees coming
- 21:18into the Sinai. The main reason it doesn't want that, of course,
- 21:22is then it considers that that will put Egypt at risk of being attacked by
- 21:26Israel if from US continues their resistance from inside Egyptian territory. But in my
- 21:33opinion, with the mass investment by the UAE and Saudi Arabia, particularly in
- 21:41the Sinai to build luxury settlements and projects akin to the Neon project, which
- 21:48we've also talked about previously, they will want to basically segregate the Palestinians and
- 21:56put them behind apartheid walls very similar to those that, of course we've seen
- 22:02in the occupied territories built where the Zionists to hide them from view. Basically,
- 22:07that's my opinion. Yeah, okay, okay, thank you very much
- 22:11for that. Okay, let's move on. If you like what the UK
- 22:14Column does, you would like to support us, please go to support dot

- 23:10and Agenda twenty one is implemented now. A quick update. David Lady,
- 23:17who's standing as an Independent parliamentary candidate in Saint Ives in Cornwall, was speaking
- 23:22to Brian a couple of days ago. That's on the UK Column website.
- 23:25If you haven't seen that yet, please have a look. It's still not
- 23:27too late to share that if you think it'll influence anybody in Saint Ives.
- 23:32Tomorrow at one pm Brian will be speaking to J Michael Waller and so do
- 23:37join us this as a second interview with J. Michael Waller, and join
- 23:42us for that if you possibly can, and I did for hear Dary.
- 23:45It is Saturday, the nineteenth of October and Bristol where we will be really
- 23:51live in front of well hopefully a reasonably sized audience. We'll get to say
- 23:56hello to everybody. Do join us for that if you can't keep that it
- 24:00in mind now. Of course, over the weekend we were at the Science
- 24:04Beautiful Festival and if you were watching the UK column user Monday you'll have seen
- 24:11the news program that we hosted while we were there. But a fantastic event,
- 24:15Charles, Yeah, it absolutely was it and of course what you couldn't
- 24:18see was the audience so absolutely lovely to have that face to face direct contact
- 24:22and I'm sure you could hear the response to what we did and indeed the
- 24:27question and answer session at the end, so to get to get out there
- 24:30and be with other people was absolutely fantastic. It really well run festival as
- 24:34well, so say many thanks to all those who had a part in it
- 24:38and to those who turned up to say hello and support the work of UK
- 24:41column and even the weather mostly cooperated, it did, yes, okay.
- 24:45And a quick advert for this going on on Sunday the seventh, So that'll
- 24:52be this Sunday. I guess in Bath do you trust your council? Now?
- 24:56This is Bath and Northeast Somerset Council. They've signed you up to a
- 25:02smart city trial according to this advertisement, and the question is do you consent?
- 25:06So join the rally for sanity and that is on the seventh at two
- 25:11pm at the Guildhall which is at the Bathness Council building in Bath. So
- 25:17joining them for that if you can. Where does that take us? Juries?
- 25:22Now? We have been talking about juries for quite a long time.
- 25:25It is a fundamental part of our national infrastructure and part of our fundamental part
- 25:32of our freedom actually, and most people don't understand the role of jury.
- 25:36So I was quite interested to see this article in the Guardian yesterday activists arrested
- 25:41on suspicion of contempt after London court protests. So this was eleven people that
- 25:47were outside at Crank Court and we're holding up various banners and placards trying to
- 25:55explain the role of a jury. Eleven arrested, it says in the sub
- 25:59headline. There after holding placards outside court, the judge said could be interpreted
- 26:04as interference with a jury. I think if we're talking about interference with the
- 26:10jury, we need to be looking at what judges are doing with respect to
- 26:12juries. But anyway, what the Guardian didn't say anything about was the group
- 26:18that was actually involved in this protest. So here's their website. It's called
- 26:22Defend our Juries. Now I'm going to say straight out here this is not
- 26:26the type of group that people watching the UK column News I would imagine would
- 26:33be wanting to support, because these people are mainly linked to climate protests and
- 26:37so on. But I have to say that in terms of explaining the situation
- 26:44with juries, that website does quite a lot to explain it in a very
- 26:48clear and concise way. So if you can suspend your disbelief on the climate
- 26:52issue, I recommend reading what it is that they say. And well,
- 26:59we can talk a little bit more about this in a second, but let's
- 27:00just look at a little bit of video from that website and see what they
- 27:06have to say. We have this right in the UK which is really really
- 27:11important, and it's been there since sixteen seventy and it's the right of juries
- 27:17to acquit a defendant based on their conscience, so regardless of what a judge
- 27:22thinks, or what the government of the day thinks, or what the media
- 27:26think, but on their conscience. And this right is really it's puts the
- 27:30moral sense of ordinary people at the heart of our criminal justice system. The
- 27:36blank banners at the moment, they're becoming a bit of a signifier for just
- 27:38how gagged defendants and protests are becoming across this nation of ours, and indeed
- 27:44across the rest of the world as well. They're becoming a symbol of resistance
- 27:48in themselves. In recent months, a retired social worker in a sixties held
- 27:52up a sign which was pertaining to that right of juries to acquit according to
- 27:56their conscience, and she was arrested by order of a judge and threatened with
- 28:03imprisonment, and twenty four others since then have been threatened with the same thing
- 28:08for the same action. So they're describing it as acquittal on their conscience.
- 28:15We might call it an element by jury or jury nullification. We've been talking
- 28:19about this for many, many years. But let's just have a look at
- 28:22the ways that the juries are being undermined at the moment. So banning those
- 28:29engaged in campaigns of political resistance from explaining their motives and beliefs to the jury,
- 28:34these are things that the judge. The judges tend to do, telling
- 28:38the jury that motives, even if articulated, are irrelevant and must be ignored.
- 28:42That's commonplace, banning references to juries, right to acquit the defendant as
- 28:48a matter of conscience, directing the jury that defenses such as necessity, proportionality,
- 28:55or reasonable excuse are not available, and finally, threatening to move to
- 29:00judge only trials. And this last one is a particular threat, but nonetheless
- 29:06they're absolutely right and highlighting all those other instances. And of course this doesn't
- 29:11just apply to people that are campaigning on climate issues. This applies to people
- 29:15that are campaigning and protesting on a whole raft of different issues. So again
- 29:18you may feel that you don't want to support this particular group because they are
- 29:22pro climate change, but we should be supporting the message here because this is
- 29:27something that applies to everyone, not just people that are promoting the climate change
- 29:33narrative. Now, as I say, this is something that we have been
- 29:36talking about for many, many years. So this was something that we put
- 29:41on screen several years ago. We have been in constitutional crisis for years.
- 29:45Break up of the nation city states, abolition of juries, prevention of public
- 29:49oversight and court cases, removal of separation of pars, wholesale privatization of public
- 29:55services, investigatory pars, the part to do anything. The list does go
- 29:59on. But the jury is absolutely fundamental constitutional freedom that we have in this
- 30:07country. It's a key part of the judicial system and it's a key part
- 30:10of holding government to account. Now, if you don't understand what nullification by
- 30:15jury means, it means that, for example, if government passes a piece
- 30:18of legislation which a jury feels is inappropriate or doesn't work in a certain set
- 30:25of circumstances, the jury can find someone who's being prosecuted under that legislation innocent
- 30:30of any criminal offense, and of course that sets a precedent in common law.
- 30:36So this is an extremely powerful tool for juries. It's something that most
- 30:41juries don't understand, and it's something that really needs much broader understanding. As
- 30:45I say, we've been talking about this for years. This is an article
- 30:48from Malcolm Massey in twenty twelve jury Nullification A part of the People. It's
- 30:52quite a short article. If you haven't read it, please do read it,
- 30:56but most importantly please do share it. Of course, we would encourage
- 31:00everybody to have a look, to have a listen to a dissonance guide to
- 31:04the Constitution, and we talked about an Alma by jury in episode two of
- 31:10that, so if you haven't heard that series, please listen to it.
- 31:15I cannot oversteered the importance of this. Yeah, it is phenomenally important,
- 31:19and I think that you're absolutely right to point out that the group that you've
- 31:23referred to by largely being composed of climate activists and perhaps sort of social justice
- 31:30warriors as they might be referred to, should be in a way neither here
- 31:33nor them. And there are obvious examples that can be cited where dury notification
- 31:37has played out in recent years, most notably those that were in court for
- 31:42criminal damage on the pushing of the statue of Edward Colston into the Bristol Harbor
- 31:48and the smashing of enormous plate glass windows at a Barklay's Bank building, and
- 31:52both were overturned by juries. But the key issue here, and this is
- 31:56exactly like the sort of defense of free speech, is that if you want
- 32:00to maintain the system, you have to accept the consequences no matter what they
- 32:06may be. You can't equivocate about it. And I think that's the central
- 32:08point that has to be grasped here. And if sometimes it doesn't play out
- 32:12in the way that you hoped that it would, well that's the system indeed.
- 32:16And just to finish on the attack on the right to protest, the
- 32:21BBC has been doing a bit of work here, So let's put this one
- 32:22on screen and there we go. Slow Walk protests banned at twelve hundred locations.
- 32:29So this is an investigation that the BBC did. I just wanted to
- 32:31highlight a couple of points out of this. The scale of efforts by all
- 32:36companies and public bodies to protect their premises from environmental protesters can be revealed in
- 32:40new BBC analysis. More than four hundred demonstrators are named in court orders that
- 32:45restrict protests at more than twelve hundred locations. The civil injunctions and force in
- 32:51places like all terminals, petrol stations, race tracks across England and Wales also
- 32:55apply to persons unknown, meaning anyone can be prosecuted. The anti protests and
- 33:00junctions limit what people can do, who they can associate with, and where
- 33:05they can go. The punishment for breaching one can be up to two years
- 33:07imprisonment for or an unlimited fine, a heavier penalty than for the equivalent offenses
- 33:13and criminal law. It have been taken out by all companies including Shell,
- 33:16so O n X on mobile, National Highways for Transport for London account for
- 33:22five more, and the other two were taken out by local consuls. And
- 33:24again you know, of course the excuse for this draconian break crackdown on protest
- 33:31is the likes of just Stop Oil and so on. But if just Stop
- 33:37Stop Oil's behavior is resulting in this type of limitation on the right to protest,
- 33:42that right, that limitation on the right to protest applies to us all.
- 33:45And even if we don't agree with what just Stop Oil is doing,
- 33:50and I personally don't, then we've we've still got to support their right to
- 33:53do it because that is our right to also protest as well. So that
- 34:00is the main point I want to make there. But Charles worthzar take us
- 34:04to the Church of England. It does. The Church of England never far
- 34:07from a controversy of their own making. And here on Twitter we have reference
- 34:13to the publication of a document about the heresy of racial injustice. And the
- 34:19document in question is Progress on Racial Justice across the Church of England Dioceses,
- 34:23and this was published yesterday. The accompanying text is racism is a heresy and
- 34:29a sin. And as Christians, we have a responsibility to eradicate racism and
- 34:32exclusion in all its forms in the Church as well as our wider society.
- 34:37Now that may well be the case, but if racism and the concept of
- 34:40race is reframed, then the outcomes are slightly different. So what we'll do
- 34:45is just have a quick look at a video that's been produced by the church
- 34:49to accompany this document. So I've known no other church. This is my
- 34:55church. I grew up in the Caribbean seeing reflection of myself in leadership within
- 35:01the church, within society as a whole. And then I came to England
- 35:07in nineteen seventy nine as a teenager and I looked around me and I couldn't
- 35:13see reflections of myself in leadership within the Church of England. It's hard to
- 35:20describe to someone who is used to being the majority culture what it's like walking
- 35:27into a church and feeling like you're the only one. It's just a very
- 35:31hard feeling to capture, and I guess minorities from every ethnic group just learn
- 35:36to deal with that. If you don't see yourself, then you don't know
- 35:40that you are welcomed, that you can be part of. And so even
- 35:45though the church itself can be saying with words you belong, you're welcome,
- 35:52everything about the situation communicates to you I'm not part of this and I'm not
- 35:58welcome. Quite strong language and inferences being drawn there. But the point I
- 36:05want to make is that racism appears to have shifted, according to the Church
- 36:08of England, into now something that may be viewed as passive. Rather than
- 36:13taking active steps to discriminate discriminate against people of a different race, it's now
- 36:19deemed that it's okay to turn up in church and think that the institutional the
- 36:22people must be racist because they don't look like you. This comes from the
- 36:28Committee for Minority Ethnic Anglican Concerns, who describe their role as being to identify,
- 36:34monitor and take forward concerns of Bame Anglicans and make recommendations for change.
- 36:39So this is the key part. It is all about change, whether necessary
- 36:44or not. Further, they encourage the church take positive action to increase the
- 36:47inclusion and representation of BAME people across the church. They encourage them to pursue
- 36:52vocations and to work with them to understand issues relating to BAME young people.
- 36:59Well, I would say that perhaps they're creating these issues and indeed indoctrinating them
- 37:04in order that they understand them in the way that the Church wants them to
- 37:07promoting understanding of racism, racial issues and cultural diversity, again reframing there advising
- 37:13and supporting the church and for example, interestingly the UK Minority Ethnic Mental Health
- 37:17Toolkit, as though the issue of mental health might be different depending on the
- 37:22color of your skin. So the hijacking and the corruption of phrases like inclusion
- 37:30and diversity is extreme in this instance, it really is. And to suggest
- 37:35that the Church of England is now no longer an organization where people are brought
- 37:39together by shared a shared belief system, but instead it must be according to
- 37:45skin color or some other cultural point is quite extraordinary or not given the background
- 37:52noe that we trace this back to what's called from the meant to action.
- 37:55And this was precipitated by the death of George Floyd in May twenty twenty,
- 37:59when most of the world was subjected to believing that Black Lives Matter was something
- 38:05I actually had to pursue and subscribe to, no matter what the beliefs they
- 38:08may have had previously. So this was starting in June twenty twenty to implement
- 38:13significant cultural and structural change. Well, it looks like that is happening,
- 38:17and also that apologies and lament should be accompanied by swift actions leading to real
- 38:23change. Well, just a couple of years later, the Church Commissioners researched
- 38:29identifying historic links to Transatlantic chattel slavery. Obviously there's been a lot on that,
- 38:35but the bit that I want to get to, which is of great
- 38:37significance, is the funding side of it. So now here we have the
- 38:42most recent report from the Church Commissioners about the investment policies of the Church,
- 38:47and there's a timeline on the right there which is probably too small to read,
- 38:52but the point of it is that in recent years, the amount of
- 38:54commitments towards net zero in particular and increasingly what being called racial justice is very
- 39:02notable, and I've got arrows here that their spending plans are helping the church
- 39:07to transition to a lower carbon approach step change in the area of racial justice,
- 39:10and also that within the last three years there's an increase of one point
- 39:15two billion, which represents about thirty percent of the spending. So where's that
- 39:20going twenty twenty two figures here are highlighted because in the areas of housing,
- 39:24diocesan investment, racial justice and net zero there was no funding allocated in twenty
- 39:30two, but in twenty three at amounts to around eighty million. Now I've
- 39:35written about this before, but the top twenty holdings in the church are very
- 39:39indicative of where the Church of England is attempting to push society. So within
- 39:45those top twenty holdings are companies like Applied Materials which has pharmaceutical divisions, Danaher
- 39:51which has genomics which we've talked about many times before, analog devices looking at
- 39:55electronics, surveillance and countermeasures, and of course Merk precision medicine with regard to
- 40:00the cancer genome. But also and Mike was talking about this on the News
- 40:04on Monday, and Debbie spoken about it many times before human derived colon organoids.
- 40:09But on the net zero side, of course, we have Google.
- 40:12This will be covered in more depth later, but on the net zero front,
- 40:15of course, the hypocrisy is outstanding. Google have announced figures just today
- 40:21or yesterday, and you see there the bottom line of each twenty twenty two
- 40:24there has been a significant uplift in what they call their greenhouse gas emissions between
- 40:29year twenty two and twenty twenty three. So the Google of failing and the
- 40:34Church of England are still pouring money into them and all the rest of it.
- 40:37Now, if you want to look further into this, I did write
- 40:39about this in some detail based on previous reports by the Church Commission in which
- 40:45it was very clear that despite their ethical investment policy, they are actually investing
- 40:49in pornography, weapons of military grade military use, and embryon extent sem cells.
- 40:54Now, obviously we've just seen that that's now moving into areas of sort
- 40:58of AI and surveillance and all manner of other things. So none of this
- 41:02is accidentally and I returned to the original point, which is what the Church
- 41:06are doing, are trying to force change and it is very hard to look
- 41:10at the Church of England now and believe that it is a meeting point for
- 41:15people who share a belief within the context of faith. It seems to be
- 41:21about every other agenda apart from that very one thing which should bind the people
- 41:24that belong to it. Yes, okay, Well let's move back to the
- 41:29Middle East and what is the list on Israel and their plans post whatever it
- 41:36is that they're doing at the moment genocide? Yeah? Well, I mean,
- 41:39you know, I'm trying to keep an eye on the ball and following
- 41:43the direction of travel because there's an awful lot of confusing and contradictory rhetoric from
- 41:49Israeli officials, US official, UK officials, EU officials. But what's interesting
- 41:54is that Israel keeps coming back to this post genoside gaza plan. So this
- 42:00was in the Financial Times Israel to test sorry hamas free bubbles in post war
- 42:07gaza plan. Doesn't that sound huddly? So let's have a look at what
- 42:12they're looking at doing a Israel as preparing to test an experimental model for running
- 42:16post war gaza by creating a series of bubbles that are designed Actually takes me
- 42:22back to COVID that are designed to be Hummas free, but have been met
- 42:27with incredulity by many people briefed on the plant. The pilot scheme a template
- 42:32for what Israel imagines would follow the war, will be launched in the northern
- 42:37Gaza neighborhoods of Atatra and Beathanun and beate Lahya, which have been coming under
- 42:44a heavy bombardment again. But even with the Israeli military on the cusp of
- 42:49starting the pilots, there is widespread skepticism over their viability given the violent opposition
- 42:57of Hamas and the resistance actions, infighting in Israeli Benjamin Netanyahu's government over the
- 43:04details and tippid backing from Arab states, and it has been described as a
- 43:08fantasy project. So let's just have a quick look at the map just to
- 43:13see where these so called bubbles are going to be piloted, so a Tatra,
- 43:20baked Laya and Beitann while in the north and then going on as it
- 43:24continues in the Financial Times. The second person with knowledge of post war Gaza
- 43:30added that Israeli attempts to identify local Palestinians who could run Gaza in famas as
- 43:36stead have been ongoing since November without any significant success. This plan is just
- 43:42the latest iteration the idea in Israeli minds us that someone the Arab states,
- 43:46the international community will pay for it, and locals in Gaza will run it,
- 43:51but no one is fighting. The person added and continuing just with on
- 43:55the ground humanitarian bubbles would then an effect, be run by reps from the
- 44:00international and Arab coalition. So back to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UA,
- 44:06Jordan, local PA Palestinian authority that are very much seen as proxies of the
- 44:12Zionist government and private contractors and business people. Several people familiar that there were
- 44:19also plans to train up a local Palestinian force from inside guards of takeover security
- 44:23and the humanitopian bubbles, which we assume are going to be programmed and deradicalized
- 44:30from a Zionist perspective. Such a force would consist of former PA security personnel
- 44:37who would either travel to Jordan or the West Bank for training under the auspices
- 44:40of US Lieutenant General Michael Fenzel, the Jerusalem based security coordinator between Israel and
- 44:46the PA. The PAS an influential intelligence chief, has already been vetting candidates
- 44:52from inside guards or with several thousand men identified as potential recruits according to two
- 44:58people. So let's go back to report that we did on UK column News
- 45:02a few months ago when we talked about Netanyahu's dystopian vision for post genocide Gaza.
- 45:09And you will remember then the so called safe zones that have now been
- 45:14rebranded as humanitarian bubbles, whether the so called deradicalized Palestinians would be segregated and
- 45:22corraled and potentially to be used of course for slave labor. So you know,
- 45:29we keep coming back to the same idea, the same project, the
- 45:31same plan, and I think it's important just to keep our eye on that
- 45:36ball while everything is going on very much to confuse this. Yeah, thank
- 45:42you for that. Now let's just quickly move on to Ukraine. And well,
- 45:45the Netherlands has announced that it is exporting twenty four F sixteen's to Ukrain
- 45:52eminently, and well, I'm just still wondering who's going to actually fly these
- 45:55things? First of all, so are they going to be flown by Western
- 45:59person? Well, is there anybody in the Ukrainian Air Force has actually been
- 46:02trained to fly them? Yet? I don't think so. It takes a
- 46:05significant amount of time to train someone to fly one of these jets, and
- 46:08since it was only a couple of months ago that we saw the RAF announcing
- 46:13that some Ukrainian pilots has gone through basic training, they're not going to be
- 46:19in a position to fly these just yet. But in the meantime, the
- 46:23Russians have released some video of them destroying if we can get it to run,
- 46:30here we go destroying SU twenty seven's on the ground. So I believe
- 46:36there were two actually destroyed, several others very badly damaged in this drone attack,
- 46:42And so it's pretty clear that the NEF sixteen's heading into Ukraine aren't going
- 46:47to last too long, even if they do have anybody to fly them,
- 46:52or they do get off the ground. In the meantime, there's an argument
- 46:55going on about intermediate missiles intermediate range missiles moment because well, if we think
- 47:01back, the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty was signed by Gorbachev and Reagan in
- 47:07nineteen eighty seven, and they both countries at that time agreed to abandon nuclear
- 47:14and conventional ground launched, ballistic and cruise missiles with a range of three hundred
- 47:17to three thousand miles, let's say. But then at beginning in twenty fourteen,
- 47:22the US was busy accusing Russia of being a non compliance, so they
- 47:25were already building a narrative at that stage, and then they withdrew from the
- 47:30Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty in twenty nineteen. Russia said that they would refrain
- 47:36from manufacturing or deploying any systems as long as the US didn't deploy them anywhere
- 47:43in the world. But there's been noise of the US doing quite the opposite
- 47:47of the moment. So ni Putin is talking about restarting manufacturing of these.
- 47:53Will come onto the likelihood of that in a second. But let's just have
- 47:57a look at Dimitri Paskov here, because he was commenting on whether there would
- 48:00be any disclosure if there was a deployment of intermediate range missiles by Russia,
- 48:07and he's saying, it's obvious that such information is hardly likely to be disclosed,
- 48:12after all, this is an extremely sensitive field related to defense and security.
- 48:15At the same time, you see that the President is raising this issue,
- 48:19and accordingly, as the process with production and so on on fold,
- 48:22some information will be accessible. So again an escalation here, But again This
- 48:29seems to be Russia reacting to what the United States is doing. But the
- 48:34United States been building this narrative for quite some time now. In the meantime,
- 48:38we're seeing a lot of stuff in the Western press about whether Russia is
- 48:43actually capable of building these things. So here is I think this was Irish
- 48:49media, Sorry I not the branding off the top of this apologized for that
- 48:53Russia has become so economically isolated that China could order the end of the war
- 49:00in Ukraine. Of course, this is a hit piece on China and really
- 49:01suggesting that China could step in and deal with Russia here, But the main
- 49:06thrust of the article is that as a result of sanctions, Russia's economy is
- 49:10so destroyed that it's impossible for it to continue expanding its military industrial capability.
- 49:19Well that's a bit strange because this particular article seems to not be in line
- 49:23with this article from Russi which published around the same time. It's entitled the
- 49:28Methodology for Degrading the Arms of the Russian Federation. It says since its full
- 49:35scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia has continued to access critical components from abroad,
- 49:40expanded the production of core weapons and continued to increase the sophistication of some key
- 49:46capabilities. So you know, the suggestion that Russia is unable to continue manufacturing
- 49:53weapons is completely ridiculous. But we continue the narrative suggesting the Russia is carrying
- 50:00out a hybrid war in the rest of Europe here and that it's doing so
- 50:05in a much more kinetic way. So this is from the Institute for the
- 50:09Study of War. We just expand the graph of the graphic. It's showing
- 50:14Western Europe and a number of incidents which are being blamed on Russia without any
- 50:17particular evidence. For example, an arsen attack on a warehouse containing Ukrainian aid
- 50:23in Scotland. In Germany, planned arsen attacks and explosions foiled by the authorities
- 50:30in the Czech Republic, a field arsen attack targeting at bus depot. What
- 50:34on earth would an arsenal attack on a bus depo have to do with Russia?
- 50:37But okay, this is their claim. And of course we were mentioning
- 50:40the fires in a couple of battery establishments recently in South Korea and this one
- 50:46in Glasgow, and the claim that Russia was somehow behind those as well,
- 50:52and At the same time, the Wall Street Journal pushing out this narrative that
- 50:55Russian saboteurs behind arsen attack at German factory. So you know, this is
- 51:01a continuing narrative. But in the meantime, the Sun, just in time
- 51:06for the election here has true fears of Britain's armed forces no longer credible,
- 51:10amid cuts to record low Warrens ex Defense Chief Lord Dannatt and Charles just in
- 51:17two seconds. I mean, this is something that we have been talking about
- 51:21four years and I'm glad to see that the mainstream media finally starting to catch
- 51:25up. Well. Absolutely, But my take on it would be the reason
- 51:30this is being done is in order to galvanize people for either conscription or national
- 51:34service, to make people sort of have some sense that the nation is in
- 51:37peril. We've got the threat from Russia, but also we've got the armed
- 51:39forces that are in an insufficient state, and therefore you've got to step forward
- 51:45and do what's right. I think that's the way it's being played. Yes,
- 51:47Vanessila, let's come back to you and well, genocide tech is how
- 51:52this is being branded. Yeah, I mean, this is just extraordinary.
- 51:57This was highlighted to me on x yesterday by an Italian investigative journalist. The
- 52:04Jerusalem Press Club organizers the twenty twenty four Israeli tech media tool. So it's
- 52:09inviting press from all over the world in while it is committing an ongoing genocide
- 52:16in Garza and has been for nine months to come and actually view the tech
- 52:22that is being used by the military to carry out that genocide. I mean,
- 52:25it's just extraordinary. Imagine if Russia were to do this. So I
- 52:31just I didn't have much time, so I quickly had a look at the
- 52:36Some of the organizations involved includesbra cyber software identifying misinformation and bad actors in the
- 52:44social media battle deployed by Elon Musk in his due diligence for I guess Twitter
- 52:51now X. So I had a very quick look at this Syabra and it
- 52:55becomes suddenly very interesting. Basically, an organization that uncovers the good, bad
- 53:02and fake online. Does that sound familiar to anyone. Bear in mind,
- 53:07we've been talking consistently about the intelligence agencies or brigades within Israel that are then
- 53:17leaving the forces to establish their tech setup, and so let's have a look
- 53:23at who is involved in SABRA and look at the trans atlantic connections. So
- 53:29Mike Pompeo, formerly President Trump's kind of point man on the Middle East,
- 53:35but in particular on Syria, is a board member at Sabra's dedication to proactive,
- 53:43cutting edge threat detection alignes perfectly, and I'm excited to work WITHBRA as
- 53:49they provide a vital shield against nefarious manipulation efforts online. Then I had a
- 53:55quick look at the three CEO and co founders, but I just picked one
- 54:00out because that was the most glaring connection to Israeli Intelligence. Also co founder
- 54:07and CPO. The other two also have similar connections. He was formerly head
- 54:13of department at Israeli Military Intelligence and team leader and project manager again at Israeli
- 54:19Military Intelligence, which could be Unit eight two hundred. I mean, there
- 54:22are various units within the IOF that he could have been referring to. And
- 54:30then I just wanted to also show what Stefania Mariti had put out on X.
- 54:36I'm convinced that this is one of the most monstrous and shameful initiatives that
- 54:39I have ever seen in twenty three years of journalistic profession. A tour for
- 54:44journalists to publicize the technology which among other things helps the war or the genocide
- 54:50of Israel against Gaza. And I would absolutely, one hundred percent agree with
- 54:54that. It is absolutely horrifying and I'm going to dig further to see are
- 55:00there any British media were involved in the tour? Okay, thank you for
- 55:06that, Vanessa. Let's move on then back to the UK and well,
- 55:12no, in fact, to Finland first of all with bird flu. Absolutely,
- 55:15but I know you are right to say the UK because of course we
- 55:17will be there soon. Yes, Finland has proved to be the first Domino
- 55:21to fall. An announcement here from the Global Center for Health Security Finland to
- 55:24start bird flu vaccinations for humans in world first And if you've been watching UK
- 55:30column you will know that this was inevitable, but nonetheless it was a race
- 55:34to see who'd get there first. The Finish Institute for Health and Welfare declared
- 55:37that Avian influenzas begin vaccine to be offered to persons at increased risk of infection.
- 55:44Well, what exactly does that mean? They say it's to be offered
- 55:47to people of eighteen or over to risk of being infected with a influenza because
- 55:52of their work or other circumstances, which is of course a little bit cryptic
- 55:59and could be applied to almost anything. But the significant detail here, and
- 56:02it won't come as a huge surprise, is that no avian influenza infections in
- 56:07humans in Finland so far so it has never been detected in humans in Finland.
- 56:13Nonetheless, it says that it may be contracted from sick or dead animals
- 56:16or from their excretions. However, the avian influenza virus is poorly transmitted to
- 56:22humans and in general cases of infection are very rare. It goes on to
- 56:27say that the subtype H five N one, which has caused disease in wildfarmed
- 56:30animals in Finland in the past few years, has also been linked with severe
- 56:35or fatal cases of the disease in humans. So they can't quite make their
- 56:39mind up, but this would be the point to make it clear and remind
- 56:43you that, of course, to be able to ascertain that there is bird
- 56:46flu in existence in the first base means reliance on the PCR test, and
- 56:52as we have been through many times, carry Malis, the man who invented
- 56:54it, made it very clear that it was not possible to tell from the
- 56:58PCR test whether whether you'd identified something that would make somebody ill or something ill
- 57:04or that had them made the mell or that it could be passed to another
- 57:07person, or that it is evidence of something that may be referred to as
- 57:12a virus. So nonetheless they push on, and of course the goal to
- 57:16all of this is to get vaccines into people. And we've been talking about
- 57:21the European Medicines Agency and all the various things that they have on offer here,
- 57:23so we'll just look at the specifics of this now. And they say
- 57:27that there are four pandemic preparedness influenza vaccines that have been authorized in the EU
- 57:32and telling me that they can be rapidly modified to protect people. I've highlighted
- 57:38the text there below. Again they reiterate it can be adapted to protect against
- 57:43any pandemic influenza virus strain if necessary, and they are only for use if
- 57:50the WHO or the EU were to officially declare a pandemic, which has not
- 57:54happened. And I've inserted the word yet. Also at the bottom, of
- 57:59course, they blow the horn about the coronavirus disease vaccine, but also the
- 58:05H one N one in two thousand and nine, which was a swine flu
- 58:07vaccine that ended up being withdrawn, so interesting that they would nonetheless draw attention
- 58:13to that. We go back to something that I mentioned several weeks ago,
- 58:16which is this premise that this test results. I'm not going to refer to
- 58:23it as an illness because it is simply a test result, and they're referring
- 58:27to it as findings of influenza of avian origin in non avian wildlife. Well,
- 58:31I rate to the Animal and Plant Health Agency to ask questions about exactly
- 58:36what they meant by avian origin, and they've just got back to me today,
- 58:39funnily enough. So the first question, of course, was which other
- 58:44illnesses do they test for? And the answer is no other tests are carried
- 58:49out. Well, that's absolutely to be expected, because if you want to
- 58:51look for something that you're going to call avian influenza, then that's the only
- 58:54thing you would look for. Also, how do they determine that it's of
- 58:59avian I think they've probably missed the point of my question, but they say
- 59:01by molecular analysis. Now that is not scientific rigor, that is closed loop
- 59:06reasoning, and I'm afraid does not meet the threshold that we should be expecting.
- 59:12I also ask for statistics on the number of tests. This is now
- 59:15in the UK over the last few years. So we look at twenty twenty
- 59:20two, of the one hundred and six tests conducted in the field, the
- 59:24return of negative results was ninety five, the absolutely overwhelming majority of twenty twenty
- 59:30three. Similar story, one hundred and fifty tests with one hundred and thirty
- 59:32six negative results. And again I'm not trying to give any credence to the
- 59:37PCR test, because even if it is looking for a particular thing, of
- 59:40course, the amplification cycles make the result meaningless whatever you do with it.
- 59:45In this particular instance, and in twenty twenty four, little red arrows there
- 59:49because of course the number of tests is twenty two and the number of negative
- 59:52results is also twenty two, exactly the same case. That will be a
- 59:57lot of the rest of the world. But here we are gearing up for
- 1:00:00injections into human beings. Now, if you missed it, I gave effectively
- 1:00:07a run through of how to establish a pandemic back on the twenty ninth of
- 1:00:10May, which is the sort of overlay of the COVID template. So i'd
- 1:00:14recommend that you do look at that. And then the only other thing which
- 1:00:16I don't have a slide off, but you might be interested to go and
- 1:00:20look at, is birdflusummit dot com. Now, if Event two oh one
- 1:00:24means anything too, which was conducted in twenty nineteen and was effectively a tabletop
- 1:00:29exercise about a forthcoming coronavirus pandemic that played out almost exactly to the letter of
- 1:00:36Event twoh one, Birdfoo summit dot com, should be of great interest.
- 1:00:38It happens in October this year. I'll be keeping a very close eye on
- 1:00:42it and reporting on it in due course. Okay, Charles, thank you
- 1:00:45very much. Thank you very much to Vanessa for joining us. We've got
- 1:00:49to finish there for today. I hope everyone has enjoyed today's program. If
- 1:00:53you're a UK column member, join us for extra in a couple of minutes.
- 1:00:58Don't forget the interview at one pm tomorrow with J Michael Waller. But
- 1:01:01otherwise we'll see at one pm on Friday. See you then, Bye bye. M
