Good afternoon. It's Monday, the eleventh of March twenty twenty four, just
0:12
after one o'clock. Welcome to UK column News. I'm your host, Brian
0:16
Gerrish, delighted to have with me in the studio Mike Robinson, and we're
0:22
also joined by Mark Anderson from the USA. We're going to start today with
0:28
grab Shapps. He's been in Kiev, of course, where else would he
0:31
be. Let's all, look, I'm the British Defense Secretary here in Kiev
0:37
to raise the alarm because what would it say if we allow a democratic country
0:43
to be taken over by a dictator like Putin? What would it say about
0:47
our values of freedom and democracy? And it doesn't have to be this way
0:51
because we easily have the resources of the West if we have the will.
0:56
So the message is simple, this is our wake up call for the world.
1:00
Let's make sure Ukraine wins this war. So the question is did you
1:07
notice it in kiss? You didn't, Let's just bring him back on screen
1:11
with a still and well, we've got to just put a couple of rings
1:15
round the swastikas which are on the tank that he walked past. And I
1:21
have to ask Brian, was he aware, did he know? Was he
1:25
blind? Did he just not see it? He doesn't care? Does he
1:27
not care? As expected, the Russians, of course jumped on this,
1:32
and the Russian embassy pushing this side on Saturday. Thank you grant shouts for
1:37
nearly showing, for clearly showing the abundance of Nazi swastigus in central Kiev.
1:42
This is exactly what Russia is fighting against, and of course anybody that's criticizing
1:48
him for this undoubtedly is a Russian propagandist. Well, this is true.
1:53
I am going to say that one of those appears to be over the rust,
1:56
so the machine was rusty when it was painted. But there's plenty more
2:01
pictures of swastikas on Ukrainian military vehicles, so we don't have to worry about
2:07
the actual background. Let's move on to the war itself. And I'm just
2:13
going to use this from weeb Union. As people know, I try and
2:16
share the material from the really excellent analysts who are reporting on social media.
2:23
So I took this still because of its importance in showing the nature of the
2:29
battlefield. And the yellow dots are defensive positions, so you see that the
2:34
Russians have got essentially a heavy line right the way along the front line,
2:39
and we can now see that in Ukrainian territory, the Ukrainian defenses are strong
2:47
points which in some places are quite well spread out, in others are quite
2:52
dense, and of course for the Russians to regain the rest of the territory
2:57
for their special military operation, that's the area in blue that you can see
3:02
or edged in blue. And the Russians are now essentially rooting out the Ukrainians
3:08
from these smaller strong points in the countryside. And the only way we can
3:14
sort of show some of this is to have a look at some of the
3:15
drone footage, and of course you see the amazing flat lands of the Ukrainian
3:21
what's essentially the Ukrainian step. But within each of the hedgerows, the Ukrainians
3:27
have got small groups of men and some heavy artillery, military vehicles, some
3:32
tanks, and the Russians are simply working very steadily, very slowly in order
3:39
to root out the Ukrainians from these defensive positions. And of course the thing
3:45
is that the Russians have got unlimited munitions and very heavy munitions to be able
3:52
to use on the Ukrainian positions, whereas now it's very clear that Ukrainians are
3:57
starting to run out of ammunition, particularly artillery shells, and of course they're
4:03
defensive positions as suffering as a result. So the first lie that we've been
4:10
told in the West is that Russia was going to run out to munitions,
4:14
when the reality is that Ukraine has run out, and so has the Western
4:18
power base, including the United States, because we simply cannot provide Ukraine with
4:25
the amount of shells that they need on a daily basis to counter the Russians.
4:30
The other thing to see here, of course, is that the battlefield
4:33
surveillance is total by drones, but also those are variant. Drone variants can
4:41
hunt other vehicles, and here we see a Ukrainian gun in a defensive position
4:47
which is eventually destroyed as a result of a drone attack. The drones are
4:53
very significant in this war because, particularly in this open terrain, it makes
4:58
it difficult for either side to hide larger military vehicles such as tanks or field
5:04
guns. However, the Russians are operating more drones and therefore they're increasing losses
5:11
on the Ukrainian side. But I will say that it's now obvious that Russia
5:17
is actually fighting is fighting the West because the West is providing total battlefield surveillance
5:27
from drones flying over the Black Sea. And also we have Western operators clearly
5:32
on the ground helping to target Western weapons systems such as the storm Shadow missile.
5:42
And therefore the reality is that NATO is at war against Russia. And
5:48
to be honest, I'm just surprised at the amount of patients on the Russian
5:53
side that they're not responding to this attack on the battlefield, but on the
5:59
sub to the west wonder weapons. I'm told today that Abrahams, the American
6:04
Abrahams tank number four has been destroyed, so thirty thirty one of them supplied
6:11
to the Ukrainians. Four are now gone. And of course what's also gone
6:15
is the myth that this tank can survive on the battlefield, whereas the claim
6:21
from the Americans has always been that the Russian tanks in particular inferior and of
6:28
a poor quality. But if we go on through, if that's the remains
6:32
of the Abraham's American tank, this is embarrassment for UK because one of the
6:39
challengers got itself stuck in the famous Ukrainian mud and I believe that was while
6:44
it was giving a demonstration to Sun reporters. But of course the same thing
6:49
applies that the Challenger very good tank itself. But to try and say that
6:56
a few challengers are going to change the course of the war in Ukraine is
7:00
a complete and utter nonsense. So what's the reality. Well, I'm just
7:03
going to bring people to this very tragic article that was sent through to me
7:09
Eastern Daily Press. It's from a little while ago, but it's talking about
7:14
a young man from Norfolk who volunteered to fight in Ukraine and he's now taken
7:18
his own life after suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. That's what came out
7:26
at the inquest. I'll put a little bit of text on screen, but
7:29
it said that Harry Gregg had no formal military training other than the spell in
7:32
the Army cadets, but decided to fly out to help defend the country following
7:38
its invasion by Russia. He ended up fighting in the trenches, where he
7:42
witnessed the death of his comrades and reported seeing the aftermath of Russian atrocities.
7:47
Of course, that's yeah, sorry, I was just sorry. I was
7:51
just going to say, you know, we see more and more rhetoric coming
7:55
out of the UK government of the moment. Divide the danger of missing from
7:59
me in the danger of disinformation that leads to deaths. And yet here we
8:03
have government information which is absolutely leading to British deaths in Ukraine because people have
8:09
fallen into the trap of believing the story. This is absolutely true. So
8:13
if we pot that one up on screen, what's actually mentioned in this tragic
8:18
case is that this young man went and did what he did because he was
8:22
apparently fired up by Liz Truss saying that people should volunteer and go and fight
8:28
the Russian. So a tragic case, but if we look at some of
8:33
the things that came out in the inquest, it was his third visit to
8:37
the country that he actually found himself fighting. He was called Eagle and he
8:41
was assigned to the Ukrainian forty eighth Battalion. One of his relatives said,
8:48
he told me about things he'd seen which he knew would stick in his head.
8:52
That's the seat of the trauma. They were being shelled quite badly.
8:56
Well, that's probably an understatement because Theussians shelling has been really incredible and the
9:03
West has been very surprised at the intensity of the shelling that the Russians can
9:07
call down on positions. But then he talks here about a comrade who was
9:13
speaking to him, telling him to keep his head down, and ten minutes
9:16
later the man giving the warning was shot in the head, and it said
9:20
Harry had to put his friend in a body bag. So this is immensely
9:26
tragic stuff. But on the other hand, we've still got thousands of mercenaries
9:33
who have gone from the West Europe in particular into Ukraine, and those Ukrainians
9:39
are now being slaughtered alongside the other Ukrainian troops. Yes, of course there
9:46
are Russian casualties, but the reality is at the moment that although Celensky has
9:52
claimed that he's demobilized some thirty thousand Ukrainians, the truth is that the Ukrainian
9:58
losses are truly horrendous. And the figure that I've quoted a number of times,
10:03
this is the figure that's being mentioned by a number of very reliable analysts,
10:09
is about four hundred thousand Ukrainian deaths. But as we'll see later in
10:16
the news, the Ukrainian solution is to call up more men and now to
10:20
mobilize women as well. So truly horrific situation. And of course, if
10:26
the West and the US would stop pumping in weapons, this war would be
10:31
over in a matter of days and some form of productive peace agreement could be
10:35
achieved. So it's just horrific what is going on. And to see that
10:41
idiot of a British politician crowing just because he can stand in front of a
10:46
few burnt out vehicles, I think is truly pathetic. Mark. Let's bring
10:52
you in because you've been having a look at veterans in the States and it's
11:00
seems that the US system is also concerned about the power of veterans. Yes,
11:07
ironic, guys, that that first report should be brought up. In
11:11
that report, you're talking about people that are fighting currently, they're believing the
11:16
government line and they're dying as a result. Now you're looking at US veterans
11:20
being surveyed by the Military Times, and the Military Times, whose background will
11:26
look into in just a minute, is worried that veterans are catching on to
11:30
what's going on former fighters, and so the Military Times survey is worded like
11:37
this alarming percentage of veterans that means accepting conspiracies, and you see a picture
11:45
there you are fake news. We'll move on from there, and I'll outline
11:48
this about us. This is Military Times dot com. It's part of Siteline
11:54
Media group known as the Army Times. Publishing company was first publiclish Army Times
12:00
in nineteen forty. Will get into a chronology in just a minute. They
12:05
claim to have the highest standards of journalism, and they claim to have veterans'
12:09
best interests at heart, and et cetera, et cetera. Will go on
12:13
from there. These slives will be in the show. Of course, most
12:18
readers, that is, veterans who primarily read these publications could spot disinformation.
12:24
They're glad to say, but look at who they're championing. Championing here.
12:28
The World Economic Forum declared disinformation as the most severe risk over the next two
12:35
years. So the WEF is apparently okay in the eyes of the Military Times
12:39
and other associated publications. And the WEF wrote in its annual report in January
12:46
that the spread of false information could underline excuse me, undermine the legitimacy of
12:50
newly elected governments across the globe, and result in violent protests, hate crimes,
12:56
and terrorism. So they're automatically assuming that any newly elected government is legitimate
13:01
and honorable, and if you protest, you're the bad guy. Researchers get
13:07
this are already seeing instances of Russian interference in the US this year, including
13:11
a coordinated effort around the Texas Mexico border of all places, and that crisis,
13:18
and Russia is supposedly trying to amplify calls for a civil war, according
13:22
to Kyle Walter, head of research at Logically, which is a British tech
13:26
company, and that tech company uses AI to monitor disinformation around the world.
13:33
They're so vigilant looking out for US. Walter said, Russia is likely to
13:37
increase its spread of falsehoods in the run up to the November election. Here
13:41
we go again on that the US needs no help in conducting questionable and in
13:48
many cases, dishonest elections. They do not need Russia's help at all.
13:52
But we'll move on from there. And this is just an item. I
13:56
won't really read it. But in that Military Times survey article, they put
14:01
this post there, this x post aka Twitter, and they asked the question,
14:07
does this post present credible fact biased fact excuse me, fact based information
14:13
that is well sourced and easy to share and all it is is an offhand
14:18
comment. They act as if somebody just writing a quick off the cuff opinion
14:22
is supposed to have a whole list of unchallengable sources at their disposal, and
14:28
this vet named Tom is just giving his opinion about the military being in a
14:33
deplorable shape. But anyway, back to the Siteline Media Group, we'll move
14:39
on and describe who's behind the Military Times. It's not the military. They
14:45
published Military Times as well as Army Times, Air Force Times, and Marine
14:48
Corps Times. Founded in nineteen forty, as I mentioned as Army Times publishing
14:52
company. Parent company is Archetype aka Regent LP, purchased nineteen ninety seven by
15:01
mass media giant Gannett. Gannett published USA Today for many many years. I
15:07
believe they still do. Gannett spun off these properties to a company called Tegna
15:11
in twenty fifteen. Tegna then sold Siteline Media Group to Regent, a LA
15:18
based private equity firm, and Regent is controlled by an investor named Michael Einstein.
15:24
So the military is not at all involved in publishing this publication. And
15:31
I think many people, including veterans, are under the impression that the military
15:35
at least has a hand in putting out those publications. And one of the
15:39
things that the veterans who won't swallow the party line. One of the things
15:43
they're accused of, besides election denial and besides various other beliefs in so called
15:50
conspiracies, they're also accused of believing in so called replacement theory. And you'll
15:56
note that the border was mentioned regarding Russia's supposedly trying to stir up trouble regarding
16:00
the US southern border. But one can believe what one wants to believe.
16:06
But replacement theory, more than any one source comes from Richard Codenhove Kolergy,
16:12
the Austrian Japanese diplomat, a shining example of a coercive utopian under the guise
16:19
of being a Austere statesman. And this is from Shatham House, the EU's
16:26
forgotten grandfather, Richard Codenhoaf Colergy. I won't get into reading it much,
16:33
but he had more than more than anyone. He had responsibility for establishing the
16:40
groundwork for the European Union, although some people also attribute that to Bilderberg founder
16:45
Joseph Reddinger. Reddinger and Colergy I've never been able to excuse me to determine
16:52
it's earlier, guys. I've never been able to confirm whether those two ever
16:56
crossed paths and actually met, but both of them have some share in creating
17:00
the groundwork, among other factors for the European Union anyway, according to Wikipedia,
17:07
not an unimpeachable source, I realized. But the Coolergy plan is described
17:11
here is sometimes called the codenhof Colergy conspiracy, and Wikipedia is just cock sure
17:18
that they're right about this. They're calling it a debunked far right anti Semitic
17:22
white genocide conspiracy theory. The theory claims that Austrian Japanese politician he was really
17:29
a diplomat, Richard von Codenhoff Colergi, creator of the pan European Union,
17:33
concocted this plot to mix white Europeans with other races via immigration. While readers
17:40
and viewers can make up their own mind on this, I'm just trying to
17:42
have a reason and balanced discussion of this. But there's one more slide here.
17:47
This is what Colergy actually said, and people can make up their own
17:51
mind. The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today's races
17:55
and classes will gradually disappear owing to the vanishing of space, time and press
18:00
judice, the Eurasian Negroid race of the future, similar in its appearance to
18:03
the ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals.
18:11
So the mass media cartel will not have an open Frank Canda discussion about
18:15
this. But that's what I'm trying to provide today, And again, readers
18:18
and viewers can make up their own mind if that actually constitutes the great replacement
18:23
theory. But many people I've talked to over the years whose opinions I respect,
18:27
believe it does constitute a calling for replacement. So you know, it's
18:33
it's a matter of opinion, perhaps, but there it is. Well,
18:37
thank you very much for that. I'll just add to that, of course,
18:41
that when you see people planning how people will relate to each other,
18:48
which nationalities are going to be living where that is very historical you've just given
18:56
us. But of course let's remind people that Sir Peter's Sutherland, the US
19:00
Ambassador for Migration, was on record of saying that more mass migration was needed
19:07
to break down the homogeneity of the nation states. So it's not just one
19:14
person that is talking about doing this, and of course what UK column has
19:18
said on many many occasions is when this forced migration happens, people suffer wherever
19:26
they've come from. Originally absolutely no. Today is Monday, the eleventh of
19:30
March, as everybody will know, and right and I at this minute Gordon
19:36
Bryan is speaking at the Institute for Government, and I'm sure it's a real
19:40
shame that we're not all able to watch that, but this is basically what
19:44
he's intending to say, or what he is saying. The way we govern
19:48
will have to be radically transformed and government put on a war footing if Britain
19:52
is to break free from the vicious low growth, low productivity and low witche
19:56
cycle. So we are to be put on a wharf footing almost immediately if
20:03
we are going to survive then the coming economic situation. Sorry the dwitch there,
20:08
Mike. So it's not put on a war footing in order to fight
20:11
the Russians, which is which we're being told from one side of the camp.
20:17
This is to get us free of vicious low growth. It's in our
20:21
best interest. Yeah, but we've got to fight the Russians in order to
20:23
do that is basically what he's saying, we've got to start a war with
20:26
Russia and China in order to get ourselves out of this economic mess. So
20:30
just as long as everybody is clear about that. I showed this a little
20:33
bit of video on Monday of Ursula vonder Lean as she was speaking in preparation
20:38
because she put forward by our party to stand again for a second term as
20:45
President of the European Commission. Just listen to this once again in case you
20:49
didn't see it on Friday. Security in Europe also means doing more in our
20:56
own defense. Our common goal should be very clear. We need to turbo
21:00
charge our defense industrial capacity in the next five years. And at the heart
21:06
of this must be one simple principle. Europe must spend more, Europe must
21:12
spend better, and Europe must spend European and this will help us fill the
21:18
urgent need to rebuild, replenish and modernize member states armed forces and to keep
21:26
supporting Ukraine. And in doing so, Europe should strive to develop and manufacture
21:32
the next generation of battle winning operational capabilities. And my friends, the EPP
21:41
is the party that has championed a Europe. Okay, so that's enough of
21:45
that. On Friday, I was suggesting that that was quite hitler esque in
21:49
her delivery, and I think it was. Anyway, here's the point.
21:55
We go back a couple of years and Ursula Vonderland had this to say,
21:59
we need to take further bold steps in the next five years towards a genuine
22:03
European defense union. Europe's one hundred billion euro a year defense industry is one
22:07
of our most valuable and strategic assets. Now that was in twenty nineteen,
22:11
and here we are five years later, and this is right back on the
22:15
table again for her next session as President of the European Commission. Well following
22:21
on from that, then this gentleman, Christian Lindner was writing in Frankfurt Alaman
22:30
a couple of days ago, and he was saying this, the strategic nuclear
22:34
forces of France and Great Britain are already making a contribution to security of our
22:38
alliance. The French President Emmanuel Macron has made various offers of cooperation. He
22:45
said, we should understand that Donald Trump's recent statements as a call to further
22:51
rethink this element of European security under the umbrella of NATO. And finally,
22:56
here he said, the question is under what political and financial conditions, with
23:00
Paris and London prepared to maintain and expand their own strategic capabilities for collective security.
23:07
So again, here we are, a few years following Brexit, and
23:11
we're right back into the European Defense Union narrative. Again, this is being
23:15
pushed extremely hard. Let's just remind us, because many people won't have been
23:19
viewers of the UK column when we covered this in the past, Let's just
23:22
remind ourselves what the European Defense Union is supposed to look like. This is
23:26
there my rendition of their graphic, and at the bottom there you will see
23:30
that the foundation of this is the political will to invest in European security and
23:36
progressively frame a common defense policy. And so this is the narrative that vonder
23:41
Lehan was talking about last week and has been talking about for the last number
23:45
of years in fact. But the right hand pillar there in this eight pillars,
23:52
the right hand pillar there's core partnerships NATO and the United Nations. So
23:57
this tweet then again going back to twenty nineteen for game for Harstadt saying for
24:03
seventy years NATO has been a cornerstone of our security. Now it's vital we
24:07
strengthened NATO by building it's European pillar based on a European defense community, a
24:12
European army, so Europeans can take the future into their own hands. This
24:18
is something they see themselves as being in NATO at a European level, rather
24:22
than being in NATO and a French, German, Dutch level and so on.
24:27
Bringing that graphic back on screen again on the left hand side, we've
24:32
got another pillow pillar, which is a by and multilateral cooperation amongst member states.
24:38
And I just want to remind everybody what the situation is, particularly with
24:42
respect to the UK, so because when we look at the number of bilateral
24:47
and multilateral arrangements that there are, I mean, this is just a fraction
24:51
of it, just to give you an idea. We've got, you know,
24:53
the Yachan Treaty between the UK, France and Germany. We've got the
24:59
Lancaster House treet between the UK and France. We've got trades with the UK
25:02
and the Netherlands with the UK, and Czech Republic with Poland, you know
25:06
with Spain. We've got all these bilateral and multilateral agreements going on which have
25:12
got nothing whatever to do with the European Union. And then again going back
25:17
a few years, here is Lord Freddie how Defense Minister in twenty nineteen,
25:23
and he said that at that time I signed the UK and the European Intervention
25:27
Initiative. The agreement states EI two intends to contribute to ongoing efforts within the
25:33
European Union, the deep in Defense Cooperation, notably PESCAL. So although this
25:37
has nothing to do with European Union or it is linked to PESCO, which
25:42
of course is a European Union defense Union policy. So looking to the House
25:48
of Commons library to see what EI two is all about, this is what
25:52
they say. The European Intervention Initiative is a French led initiative set up by
25:56
President Macron September twenty seventeen as part of his vision for a quote sovereign,
26:03
united and democratic Europe quote. In order to achieve that ambition, he put
26:07
forward proposals for a common European Intervention Force and a common doctrine for action independent
26:12
of the European Union. It goes on to say ten European countries, including
26:17
the UK, are involved in the initiative. Italy indicated its willingness to join
26:21
in September twenty nineteen. Given that EI one is a defensive initiative outside of
26:26
the governance of the European Union, UK participation in it will not be affected
26:30
in any way by Brexit. So we are tied into these defense agreements which
26:36
are going to form part of EU Defense Union, even though we're not supposedly
26:41
part of Brexit, or Brexit has got no relevance to it now if you
26:45
want to know more about this. Again, we haven't really updated this page
26:51
since twenty nineteen after Brexit was allegedly done and dusted, but nonetheless this is
26:56
starting to come back into the media again, or at least to the police
27:00
agenda again, so I'm sure we will be adding more to this page.
27:03
But there's plenty of resource there to show a timeline of how we've got to
27:07
this point. A number of articles and the timeline fantastic resource, but kind
27:14
of related to this, or at least I reminded myself of this as I
27:18
was pulling this segment together earlier on today. I just wanted to bring rand
27:22
Europe back on screen. And this again is going back to eighteen or twenty
27:26
nineteen or so. The utility of military force and public understanding in today's Britain,
27:30
and I just wanted to look at this and consider where we are today
27:34
and see how accurate they were and their predictions in vern commas. And so
27:38
they decided that hybrid war targets the role of popular opinion and shipping national strategy.
27:45
We are absolutely well into a hybrid war at this point. They also
27:48
said that social resilience is receiving increasing attention in relation to national security. And
27:53
they also said that the effect of ignoring domestic resilience is to undermine the terrence.
28:00
And they had some recommendations. I'm just going to highlight four of them
28:03
that they wanted to emphasize the shared responsibility of resilience. That they wanted to
28:10
recommend creating coherence in communications. I get hold of the narrative and get hold
28:15
of it tight connecting the armed forces in the government. We've been talking about
28:18
this for the last couple of years. Increasingly fusion doctrine is right there at
28:23
the heart of the Ministry of Defense's defense doctrine and finally being open to debate
28:30
on national service and lo and behold, here we are, and only a
28:33
few weeks ago we had the telegraph and others talking about public face, call
28:40
up if we go to war, military chief warrants and a whole discussion about
28:42
conscription and military service. But not only that, the resilience narrative is something
28:48
which is just being shoved down our throats constantly. So this is from the
28:53
National UK's Cameron to call for strength, resilience and unity in Berlin. Visit
28:59
is from a couple of days ago, second and March I think, and
29:03
so on. So you know this issue of single defense in Europe and Britain's
29:10
participation, and it has not gone away. It's absolutely there and Brexit has
29:15
got nothing to do with it. Yes, it's just incredible. But I
29:18
look at Cameron if he's there talking to the Germans who are also calling for
29:25
essentially mobilization. Who is Cameron working for? Is he now working with and
29:30
for the Germans? Is he working for Israel? We've got no idea what's
29:34
going on. And I've just draw people's attention to Christopher's stories book The EU
29:41
Collective Enemy of its Members States are really detailed analysis. One of the points
29:48
that Christopher's story pointed out is the rise of the bilateral and other agreements,
29:53
and he described them as a spider's web, which eventually meant that a country
29:59
like Written couldn't move of its own the code because it was locked into these
30:03
bilateral agreements. You can find that online if you search for that book.
30:10
And just to end this segment, then this pharoor has begun. So obviously
30:15
Queen Elizabeth, HMS Queen Elizabeth, one of our two aircraft carriers, can't
30:18
go to see at the moment because it's broken, and so its way back
30:22
to the Clyde to be fixed, just as its sister ship was. But
30:26
UK Defense Journal was reporting a day or two ago that it had suffered a
30:30
fire, but don't worry, there were no fatalities. And this resulted in
30:33
a whole within the mainstream media, with the mainstream media saying this is yet
30:38
another example of the British military in a state of collapse. As a result
30:45
various comments on Twitter, mainstream media have lost their minds, said Navy lookout
30:49
about defense UK Defense Journal report of fire on board HMS Queen Elizabeth yesterday.
30:55
Minor shipboard fires are not uncommon. All sailors are trained in firefighting and this
31:00
instance appeared to have responded quickly and extinguished the fire with no injuries. Involvement
31:03
of local civilian fire brigade is also standard procedure, and Brian, I'm just
31:08
going to say, I don't know what the scale. Of course, nobody
31:11
is saying what the nature of this fire was or what the scale of the
31:15
fire was, but you know, if it was really so insignificant, then
31:18
why reported in the first place. What the UK Defense Journal expect was going
31:22
to happen when they published this article. This is the key point. Fires
31:27
do happen on board warships. They've always happened on warships because they're very dangerous
31:33
environments with fuel, inflammable substances a lot of people. But minor fires are
31:41
one thing. Fires that are more serious as something else. But also we've
31:45
got no detail as to what caused this fire, so it's very difficult to
31:49
comment on it. Okay, if you like what the UK con does,

32:20
where only a week in a day until we start the Climate Science Masterclass with
32:24
David Siegel. I will say thank you very much to everybody that's bought a
32:28
ticket so far. The early bird tickets were all gone and I'm really looking
32:32
forward to that. On Tuesday the nineteenth is when we're starting tomorrow at one
32:38
pm I will be speaking to Matt Errett and a really interesting conversation on the
32:45
hidden hand behind UFOs is starts with HG. Wells with Aldus and Julian Huxley
32:51
with Bertrand Russell. It's quite an interesting conversation and I encourage everybody to join
32:57
us at one pm for that. Just the reporting of UFOs has been standard
33:01
military procedure for a great many years, particularly for the aviators. Where is
33:07
that tis? Well, we've got some adverts. We've got Glasgow Freedom Rally
33:13
which is George Square, Glasgow, one pm on Saturday the thirteenth of April,
33:16
so watch out for that one. What does the who have in store
33:21
for you? What I think we know and it's not very nice. We've
33:23
also got this one here National emergency. The New Forest in the south of
33:29
England is being what they call clear Fell to build a free point, a
33:34
free port. So we've got people warning about that and you'll be able to
33:38
find out more about it if you can attend the Lyndhurst Community Center which is
33:45
in the middle of the New Forest area, and that's Thursday, March the
33:50
twenty first. If you have to look for the details of that, I'll
33:54
just give you the postcode. It's so forty three seven n Y that's the
34:02
twenty first of March. And then we've also got the People's Health Alliance for
34:07
a Glastonbury event. We've got doctor alex Lyn, doctor Joe Whittaker, an
34:13
e system which is talking about the power that made the body sorry, the
34:19
power that made the body heals the body. That's Friday the fifteenth of March
34:22
six thirty to nine thirty pm and it's the Town Hall, Magdalene Street,
34:28
Glastonbury. And this one here Controlled Society or Free Society. This is Thursday
34:36
the eleventh of April four forty five to nine thirty pm at the Emmanuel Center,
34:42
Marsham Street, London. And who's going to be there well, Andrew
34:45
Bridge an MP who's doing such a great job, but also Sandy Adams.
34:50
Great see Sandy there alongside him, Scott McCollough lead Outside Council CHD and Jim
34:59
Ferg and the farming Expert. Plus they've got other guest speakers, so it's
35:04
really great to see people coming together. And I'll just put this one up
35:07
on the screen because we know that Andrew Bridgen's doing a lot of work to
35:13
help publicize himself at the moment, and we know that anybody who can help
35:19
in the constituent see area could be of great value to him because of course
35:23
he's now up against the machinery of the big mainstream parties. Mark freedom of
35:30
speech, what's the Brinstone Institute been telling us about. Well, this is
35:37
an interesting item and i'll mention at the tail end of your ads, speaking
35:40
of freedom of speech and information, I have a relatively new article at the
35:45
UK column website about the so called new media portraying itself as new and fresh
35:51
and different, and really it's the same old song and dance, a repackaged
35:54
mass media cartel, a repackaged legacy media. That's a series I'm writing for
36:00
UK Column. The first installment is up on the website now. But the
36:05
Brownstone Institute is talking about a particular case, a lawsuit in the United States
36:12
where free speech seems to truly hang in the balance and Supreme Court action is
36:16
expected soon. This is a relatively breezy report. Let's go on to the
36:22
next slide here. This is the Brownstone's own observations in this very important article.
36:29
In a lifetime of observing policy controversies and court cases, we've never witnessed
36:35
anything as crucial to the future of the idea of freedom itself compared with what
36:39
will transpire coming up on the eighteenth of March twenty twenty four. On that
36:44
day, the US Supreme Court will hear arguments in the suit Murphy versus Missouri.
36:51
Missouri is the injured party here concerning whether the government can force or nudge
36:55
private companies to censor users. Half of regime priorities, and one of the
37:02
big concerns here or observations, is that these private companies, the main social
37:08
media companies, and the government are becoming as one. So the fact that
37:13
the companies are private, but if they're being commandeered by the government, there
37:17
eventually becomes very little difference between the two the distinctions tend to melt away anyway.
37:23
The evidence that they have been doing so is overwhelming, the Brownstone continues
37:28
in their article. That's why the Fifth Circuit in the United States issued an
37:32
emergency injunction to stop the practice of this censorship on the grounds that is,
37:38
it's inconsistent with the First Amendment to the US Constitution. The censorship industrial complex
37:44
is being called the censorship industrial complex. I've never heard that term. Is
37:47
working right now around the clock to delete free speech in America. That injunction,
37:53
however, was stayed pending a review by the Highest Court or the Supreme
37:58
Court moving on from there, where the justices hearing the case will be in
38:01
an awkward position. Brownstone is saying, My guests, who the writer says,
38:07
My guess is that none of them even know that this was going on
38:10
to the extent that it is. They will likely be shocked when they look
38:15
at the evidence proving there is a trillion dollar industry we're being told here in
38:20
full operation that has massively distorted the public mind. Sometimes they call it curating
38:25
the public mind. That terminology is used as well. Every federal agency.
38:30
Get that every federal agency is involved deeply embedded in the operations of all media
38:36
companies that would be legacy, not places like UK column obviously, and digital
38:40
technology, which in turn requires universal surveillance and persecution of contrary voices. And
38:47
a little while ago in my first report, we heard about the Military Times
38:52
worried that veterans are catching on to many of the lies that they are being
38:58
exposed to. And remember, veterans go out, many of them believing they're
39:01
fighting to defend free speech, and now their minds are being curated. Anyway,
39:07
this last item here, until a few years ago, this entire industry,
39:12
this trillion dollar industry, which involves federal agencies, universities, nonprofits,
39:15
shadow companies, bogus bactcheckers, and every manner of spook operated front companies.
39:21
Get that, until a few years ago, this was not known to exist,
39:25
Brownstone is saying, but now that we know about it, we're shocked
39:29
by the extent of it. It has invaded the whole of our lives to
39:31
the point that we cannot tell real news from that which has fed to us
39:36
by intelligence agencies. This is another reason I'm doing this series and UK column
39:40
about the legacy media's fake repackaging even worse. Brownstone says, We've come to
39:45
expect that most of what passes for approved opinion is flat outfalls. And the
39:51
implication, guys, is that news outlets like ours are also potentially on the
39:58
chopping block if this trillion dollar industry is allowed to have its way. So
40:02
this is a very tectonic item and it's important to keep an eye on it
40:07
long term. So I'll be reporting more on this in my series on the
40:10
UK column website and my weekly report. So back to you, Well,
40:15
thank you very much for that. Well, a nice lead into this little
40:20
segment here, which is the BBC manipulating information. My attention was drawn to
40:27
the Oscar ceremonies. This is the BBC report Zone of interest. Director Jonathan
40:31
Glazer makes Gaza statement in Oscar's speech and the quote on the right of your
40:37
screen is what the BBC actually opened with it, says Director Jonathan Glazer focused
40:43
on the warring Gaza in his acceptance speech at the OSCARS, saying that he
40:47
refuted his Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation. But we need
40:53
to say something here because he didn't actually say that. He said a little
40:59
bit more, which makes a huge difference to the meaning. So let's listen
41:02
to what he did say. Because the BBC couldn't be bothered to insert a
41:07
film video clip to actually show him speaking, they just used a graphic.
41:14
So let's let's put the video clip in and the os and the Oscar goes
41:21
to the song of in. This is the third nomination for the United Kingdom.
41:34
The Sole of the Interest is the ninth non English language film to be
41:38
nominated for both the International Feature Film and Best Picture. In the town,
42:01
thank you so much, I'm going to read I'm afraid. Thank you to
42:06
the Academy for this honor, and to our partner's A twenty four film,
42:08
four Access and Polished Film Institute, to the Austeritz Berk and our State Museum
42:13
for their trust and guidance. To my producers, actors, collaborators. All
42:17
our choices were made to reflect and confront us in the present, not to
42:21
say look what they did then, rather look what we do now. How
42:24
film shows where dehumanization leads at its worst. It shaped all of our past
42:30
and present. Right now we stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and
42:35
the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation which has led to conflict for so many
42:38
innocent people, whether the victims of October the whether the victims of October the
42:49
seventh in Israel, or the ongoing attack on Gaza, all the victims of
42:53
this dehumanization. How do we resist? Alexandra Arbistron Calasi h Check, the
43:07
girl who glows in the film as she did in life, chose to.
43:09
I dedicate this to her memory and her resistance. Thank you. So the
43:19
BBC of course didn't say what he exactly said, because what he said was
43:22
very important. But what the BBC did show in a video at the end
43:27
of the article so that it was rammed into people's minds, was this clip
44:12
up on this area road and givel up that direction. So the BBC clearly
44:20
it's worse because the man was brave enough to say refuted being Jewish as a
44:24
result of what was happening to winnocent people, both in Israel and in Gaza.
44:30
He's cut out and then we have the propaganda video at the bottom.
44:34
But what are we really seeing a pretty brutal looking police protecting the rich and
44:39
famous against people are unhappy that people are being slaughtered in large numbers. I
44:45
just put up this meme which was sent to me over the weekend, and
44:50
I think it really says it also obviously it's Gaza with a rain of bombs,
44:53
but in between the bombs are one or two loads of bread tossed to
44:59
the needy. Now in Belfast, we'll just bring this tweet on screen.
45:04
So this is from Carlos Latouff, who is a cartoonist, and he said
45:09
I received with some surprise and use it one of my cartoons converted to mural
45:15
in Belfast was defaced. The cartoon question criticizes the decision of the Irish Republican
45:19
parties Shin Finn, Fianna Foyle and finn a Gil to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day
45:24
with Joe Biden. And well, you can see that the cartoon is pinted
45:30
on the wall there and then somebody has come along and painted over it in
45:32
black. We'll just put the image that he the original cartoon on screen.
45:38
And of course somebody was asking me recently about Shin Finn in particular. They
45:44
are now just an internationalist party like any other, like the Scottish Nationalist Party
45:50
for example. They'd be quite happy to deal din in front of Joe Biden
45:52
in this way. I think that's quite an appropriate image. Now at the
45:58
weekend, then video footage appeared on a social media of a guy being arrested
46:04
by the police because he was apparently holding a sign saying Hamas are terrorists.
46:09
Let's have a look at the footage living, live it down, leave it
46:22
to the floor, want to prim it? Hi? What? What?
46:31
Oh my god? You're supported? Call us? Oh my god, guys
46:37
na anti hamas sign a stay by, stay by a just give me the
46:47
work. Shame on you, Shame on you, Shame on you. Shame
46:53
on you. Yeah, me and you? Hey, are you all right?
47:07
Oh god? Yeah? Yeah? Nod my head part, yeah,
47:16
my head part. Shame on you. What's the fucking Hannah? So bad?
47:22
Then? Right? Give me? Let me know? No, thank
47:30
you say no? Right? Can help? Probably not? Okay, can
47:37
I help it all? Wait? You didn't want to film connting what you're
47:40
doing? Okay, yeah, okay, that's not a problem. I'm just
47:44
conscious why you will not filming gentlemen and being arrested because he's got an anti
47:47
amass flag. He's being arrested and yeah, what I've seen here hadn't been
47:52
arrested all right, okay, John, Yeah, I'll tell you to you
47:55
that's what you're just gonna pay. So So the police then felt the need
48:01
because everybody was asking on social media why this guy had been arrested when people
48:07
in the main demonstration, which of course was pro Palestine demonstration, weren't being
48:12
arrested. So the police felt the need to put out a statement. This
48:15
is what they said. A videos being posted on ex alledging officers arrested a
48:17
man for having an anti Hamas placard. This isn't accurate. He was arrested
48:22
after an altercation was ongoing an officer's intervened to prevent a reach of the peace.
48:27
He was arrested for assault. Officers then fully reviewed footage provided of the
48:31
incident. He was later de arrested. The arrest was not made in relation
48:35
to the placard, that's their claim, But of course by the time that
48:38
went out, the story had gone all across social media. And I just
48:44
want to ask the question, Brian. I don't know what your thoughts are
48:45
on this, but if the parts that be, let's say, wanted to
48:51
create tension within a society, is this not exactly how they would do it?
48:54
Because the injustice in this seems to be the redo. It seems to
49:00
be there. Yeah, well it's exactly what they would do. But of
49:05
course the police doing themselves no favors at all, because every time it seems
49:08
we see the British police in action, they become ever more brutal. But
49:14
divide and rule, that's the way to deal with the British public, and
49:17
we see a lot more of it. Well, let's go and have a
49:20
look at society in Ukraine. And this little article was sent to me over
49:28
the weekend. Now I'm going to say straight away that I haven't been able
49:31
to fully verify it, but I'm going to take it on face value.
49:36
What it was warning about was plans for millions. I think the figure was
49:39
three million Ukrainian women to be mobilized. Now I'm just taking it on face
49:45
value. But let's have a look at what's previously been said about the use
49:51
of women in the war. So this is the New York Times from some
49:53
little time ago. It says, if not me, who, As Ukraine
49:59
seeks troops, women prepare for the call. And of course it's now well
50:05
known that Ukrainian women have been in the front lines and they're dying on the
50:08
front lines because of course over all their unsuitable, inexperienced troops. But this
50:15
is what is happening in Ukrainian society in order to fight the West proxy war.
50:23
And I went looking on the Kiev Post to see if there was anything
50:28
about the mobilization. There wasn't, but I found this article, which I
50:32
also found extraordinary. So we've got two women looking very tired and sad against
50:38
the backdrop of men who've been killed on the battlefield. Remember the figure that
50:43
we are talking about is around four hundred thousand. And what's the headline opinion
50:50
rebuilding Ukraine the task for women And the obscenity of this article is that it
50:55
is growing that the war is a wonderful opportunity unity to bring more women fully
51:02
into the workforce in Ukraine. And this is going to liberate women. So
51:07
get the women into heavy industry, get them down the coal mines, make
51:12
best use of the war, because this will turn Ukrainian society from being a
51:16
backward society into a fully fledged Western society. So I'm not the only person
51:24
who's beginning to see this outrageous twisting of truth. This is a meme that
51:30
was circulating. Some people might find this offensive, but it's the sentiment.
51:37
So it's come from a political peak liberalism, sending your daughters to fight and
51:43
die in war so that your son can be a cross dressing homosexual. So
51:47
many people now starting to actually pickup and say, what actually is the agenda
51:53
that the West is pushing. But at the end of the day, one
51:58
thing's for certain, that's many more women are going to be doing on the
52:01
battlefield in Ukraine. Mark bring us up to did on the IHR on the
52:07
treaty. Yes, thanks guys. Last night I got a call from James
52:15
Ruguski, of course his substack. His website is James Ruguski dot substack dot
52:20
com. Ruguski is rog u s Ki and he gave me an up to
52:25
the minute report. I kind of put it in today's show at the last
52:30
minute. It's very important. One thing I'll mention is by next week,
52:35
the following week at the very latest, we're going to have more contact information,
52:38
more ways that our readers and viewers can get involved and contact places such
52:43
as the Office of Global Affairs of the US Department of Health and Human Services,
52:47
which is the negotiating body for the US part of the treaty. But
52:53
this is some of what James has got at his website that I mentioned,
52:57
and also if you go there, there's very helpful videos. There's reject the
53:01
Amendments dot com another link, lots of things people can read and learn and
53:07
get involved with. So that's the main thing to get involved. And I'll
53:10
just kind of hit some of the highlights. So let's go back to the
53:14
previous one there. This is about the treaty. The top ten reasons.
53:20
I'll just hit the highlights, the framework, convention and unaccountable bureaucracy, articles
53:24
twenty one through thirty seven, billions of dollars, mass expansion of public health,
53:30
Emergency of International Concern PHEIC one health surveillance. I talked about one health
53:37
last week. Pathogen access, benefit sharing system, global supply chain and logistics
53:43
network, failure to hold big farm reliable for harm, and censorship a big
53:47
topic these days. That's just some of the reasons to stop the treaty.
53:52
And now we have also the international health regulations, which I haven't focused on
53:57
as much lately, but they're just as important. They're on a parallel track.
54:02
This is again from Roguski. Three levels of fear mongering, and you
54:07
can read about it in the show notes. Quarantine concerns, documents required for
54:13
travel, things are getting pretty oppressive. Vaccines authorized by the WHO for emergency
54:19
use. Requiring vaccines, especially those that are authorized for emergency use, is
54:24
unacceptable. James is saying making non state actors comply with public health measures,
54:30
and James gives a lot of the articles where you can read more about this
54:35
in the articles that he published. There's the other half here, surveillance concerns,
54:40
national IHR authority, disclosure of personal data concerns, and again censorship and
54:46
disinformation being attached to anyone that tries to discuss these things openly and honestly.
54:52
Next week again I'll have more, especially I expect to have more on how
54:57
people can become more directly involved. But for now now you can go to
55:00
past reports. I've done a UK column as well as James Roguski's research,
55:05
so I wanted to get that in for today guys. Thank you, Mark,
55:08
Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands. Of course, out of three countries
55:13
in Europe that have already brought in assisted dying legislation, the UK possibly not
55:20
too far behind, being led by Ester Ranson, and of course she had
55:24
her petition. That petition ended up having one hundred and fifty two, seven
55:30
hundred and sixty one signatures on it. And we wait to see whether the
55:34
UK government is going to hold a debate. They say that they've already held
55:37
debates in recent years and this is something for the House of Commons and not
55:42
for government. But if we just put that back on screen for a second,
55:45
Ranson's daughter now getting involved in the conversation to push for assistant dying legislation
55:52
in the UK. Well, we don't have to worry because in France Ammania
55:58
Macron has decided to bring legislation forward as well. So he has announced this
56:02
now. So let's just have a look at what he had to say.
56:06
He said, does not, strictly this is the legislation he's talking about,
56:08
does not, strictly speaking, create a new right or a freedom. The
56:13
trace is a path which did not exist until now, and which opens the
56:15
possibility of requesting assistance and dying under strict conditions. So he's saying that the
56:23
conditions would need to be met that are in the legislation, that a medical
56:28
team would need to assess and ensure the criteria that the decision was correct.
56:32
But we don't need to worry because families would be allowed to appeal any decision
56:37
that was made. But they're trying to say very clearly that the person would
56:46
have to be competent. How they make that decision, I suppose it is
56:52
opened, but a lot lots of these things are open to interpretation, Brian,
56:54
and I'm not sure exactly where that ends. But what are your thoughts?
57:00
Well, I think it's a horrible agenda. It's clearly anti life.
57:07
And the other thing is that this cannot be a national agenda because it's coming
57:12
out through so many countries, So this has got to be a globalist agenda.
57:16
And yeah, let's emphasize it. What are they talking about making it
57:21
easier for people to die? And so we've got a death cult. I'm
57:27
going to call it a death cult which is trying to install itself, a
57:30
death cult that is happy with the wars, it's happy with killing off elderly
57:35
people. And at the end of the day, what is it doing divide
57:38
and rule to control us. For anybody to say there's no such thing as
57:43
global policy emerging, clearly, you know, has got no mental acumen at
57:50
all, because they simply cannot see the evidence which is on the table in
57:53
front of them. Well, Mark, very quickly, is this something which
57:57
is in the media and the media agen in the United States. I wouldn't
58:02
call it right up front. This has been floating around ever since doctor Koborkian
58:08
and some of those controversies quite some time ago. What I would only briefly
58:13
comment about, guys is, notice what he says. It does not,
58:15
strictly, strictly speaking, create a new right nor a freedom. This guy
58:21
thinks that government edicts and statutes and whatnot create rights. Rights are a natural
58:27
born, innate, God given thing that pre exists governments and exists separately from
58:32
governments. So this guy is of the mind that, you know, globalist
58:38
apparatricks like him create rights and that's a civic disaster. That whole idea is
58:45
a philosophical black hole. And so this tells a lot about him. Absolutely.
58:53
Mark couldn't agree more. But of course that's the foundation of human rights,
58:58
on the whole principle of human rights. And we have a little bit
59:00
of video to add on. Well, we do, and I should be
59:05
interested for a bit of comment from Mark, But let's just roll it and
59:08
see see what happened. Joy, I don't tend to do about them,
59:37
So there we are. I can't remember where the Boyden rally was, Missouri
59:42
or Mississippi. You will hopefully be able to tell me. Mark, But
59:45
obviously a very angry man interjects with the whole trouble of the war. But
59:51
what really shocked me was to see people calling for four more years of a
59:57
man who, to me needs to be retired now before he's very tired and
1:00:02
befubbled brain does any more damage to the United States or the world. What's
1:00:07
your take, Well, maybe mister Biden is getting old like a fox.
1:00:14
Maybe he's not quite as much much of a dullard as we think. But
1:00:17
honestly, I don't think his mind and or physical stature has four more years
1:00:22
left in it. But it's interesting to see that kind of protest right in
1:00:25
his face. It reminds me of Justin Trudeau of Canada traveling to the western,
1:00:30
more conservative parts of Canada and being called a piece of shite excuse my
1:00:38
language there, but and worse and smiling as if nothing's happening. Politicians like
1:00:44
Trudeau and Biden in many cases have the public's deepest wishes that they get out
1:00:51
and are extremely seen as anachronisms and seen as tyrants by the people, and
1:00:59
they just don't they just don't acknowledge how much the people are disgusted with their
1:01:05
performance. So Biden is evidently, you know, kind of oblivious to just
1:01:09
how much opposition there is out there to what's going on in Gaza. As
1:01:14
we heard there, so much could be said that there's not much time to
1:01:17
say more than that. So okay, well, thank you very much for
1:01:22
that. We'll leave it there. Sad times for the world. I think
1:01:24
Biden's probably obliviated most of what going on. Yeah, indeed, so thank
1:01:30
you very much wherever you are in the world. Thank you for joining UK
