• 0:04
  SPEAKER_02: European country prepares for mass evacuations of the civilian populace and,
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_02: also in today's stream,
• 0:13
  SPEAKER_02: the EU is preparing its military response to Russian hybrid aggression,
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_02: as they call it.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_02: All that and a lot more in today's live stream.
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_02: We are going to do a lot today.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_02: We're going to cover a lot.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_02: Everything from those things right the way through.
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_02: So without further ado, let's jump straight to the shared screen here.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_02: Poland and Lithuania are preparing cross-border evacuation plan for the Baltic states.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_02: This is fresh off the press, happening right now.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_02: Not just for Lithuania, but this also covers, if I pull up the map here.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_02: This also covers Latvia and Estonia but Lithuania are doing the exercise with Poland.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_02: They're concerned that there's going to be some sort of a Russian incident or from Belarus here.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_02: So this is why Lithuania is the spearhead on this working with Poland
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_02: and it's pretty serious stuff actually what they are talking about
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_02: because they're trying to figure out how they can do a mass evacuation of Huge,
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_02: huge numbers of people in effect.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_02: So let's go over to some of the key details of the story there.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_02: So Poland and Lithuania right now working on an international evacuation plan
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_02: for civilians in the event that this crisis takes place or the military incursion.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_02: So they are confident this is going to happen.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_02: It's not a matter of if, it's a matter simply of when.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_02: The other thing that the EU leaders are looking at and sort of planning at
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_02: the moment is similar to what happened with the Ukrainian refugees in
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_02: that how are they going to take on basically the three Baltic states,
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_02: how are they going to take on all of these refugees?
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_02: So they're trying to plan out which countries would take what exactly.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_02: So that's the other part of the plan.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_02: So this would allow residents of Lithuania,
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_02: Latvia and Estonia to be moved across the Polish border and into the European Union.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_02: The head of Lithuania's National Crisis Management Centre has announced that work on
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_02: the proposal was already underway and that they were analysing procedures,
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_02: logistics and infrastructure capacity.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_02: These preparations are being carried out as part of Lithuania's exercise right now,
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_02: their 2026 exercise.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_02: It launched just three days ago on the 25th of September
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_02: and they're testing their national mobilization and institutional cooperation for
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_02: the upcoming crisis.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_02: These drills are going to be running then until the 3rd of October,
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_02: so five more days, and they have said it's in black and white here.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_02: They are testing for the mass evacuation of the population.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_02: That is what they've said.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_02: It's so weird, isn't it, to be talking about all of these things in 2026.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_02: If I'd have talked about this Even five years ago,
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_02: we'd have all thought this is crazy talk,
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_02: and yet this is daily on all of the media now.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_02: It's all very normal to discuss the evacuation of an entire country and
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_02: for other countries to be preparing for war.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_02: So during this exercise then there's 3,000 officials,
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_02: officers and all the local authorities taking place as well as delegations
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_02: from Poland who are there.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_02: Poland is involved in work related to planning cross-border evacuation
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_02: and they've said that they are preparing to receive evacuees.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_02: From the Baltic States.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_02: In September,
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_02: representatives from Lithuania and Latvia visited Poland on a research trip focused
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_02: on this mass evacuation,
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_02: civil protection and the organization of reception and accommodation of evacuees.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_02: So there's a lot of articles.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_02: Sometimes I know some of you say, Neil, can you help?
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_02: Where do I get these articles from?
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_02: I...
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_02: Must read 300 to 500 news articles a day.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_02: So I sort of go all over the place to find them.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_02: Even articles like this, I found this from, this is, you know, I'm not even sure what this is.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_02: Is this Latvia, Latvian language?
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_02: So I found this and then what I did was I got it translated.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_02: So I translate the article.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_02: So if you're ever curious where I get a lot of this information
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_02: that you haven't heard,
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_02: it's because I'm looking in sources that you haven't actually seen.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_02: So they have said then that this is their biggest exercise to date and This is
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_02: a scenario based on present day threats and they're testing how they will act when
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_02: the security situation deteriorates.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_02: This is for energy and communication systems as well.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_02: The head of the Crisis Management Centre said it's to prepare for mobilisation of
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_02: the military and to assess how to evacuate the civilian population.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_02: He said there's two key dates that he's watching.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_02: One is tomorrow, 29th of September, and the other one is the 3rd of October.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_02: The biggest date is tomorrow.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_02: This is when they're testing the warning systems,
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_02: sirens, sending out emergency messages to phones, etc.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_02: He said his biggest concern is a military invasion from Belarus.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_02: Then the other big one then,
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_02: this is the 3rd of October,
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_02: this is the military practicing on the border for an assault in effect.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_02: So that is what they are preparing for right now.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_02: I guess you've got to just start thinking to yourself, how are you preparing for all of this?
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_02: I think each of us are preparing in our own ways right now.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_02: I know I'm certainly prepared,
• 6:55
  SPEAKER_02: fully prepared for all of this, but I would ask you, how are you preparing for it?
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_02: And there's lots of different ways that you've got to prepare,
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_02: both physically, are you going to be Just doing whatever the government says.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_02: If you're in, say, the UK,
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_02: for example,
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_02: or one of the European countries, are you just going to go along with it?
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_02: If they say, right,
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_02: you're being forced into the military and there's conscription and all
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_02: the other things that are likely to come later on,
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_02: or are you planning something alternative?
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_02: I know a lot of you email me and message and say,
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_02: You're thinking about alternative residencies and visas and getting work permits.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_02: I had a really interesting email from a nurse recently,
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_02: works in the NHS, UK National Health Service.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_02: She's just got a visa because she said she was worried about her
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_02: and her husband getting, you know, pulled into all this.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_02: She's just got a visa.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_02: She's going to Australia.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_02: To work in Australia.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_02: I think everybody's preparing for it differently.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_02: One way that I very strongly keep saying that I'm trying to help you with it is
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_02: with your finances, your income.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_02: What are you going to do when that day comes?
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_02: How are you going to have finances and things?
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_02: It's quite difficult during conflict.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_02: You can download this guide that I put together for you.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_02: It's 100% free if you haven't got it yet.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_02: This is the Financial Survival Guide.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_02: I'll put the link below in the description.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_02: You can download this guide, read through all of this.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_02: This will really help you with everything coming up.
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm almost finished a preparedness big bundle.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_02: I'm writing probably five to six hours a day at the moment on a Preparedness guide for you.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_02: So it's about 11 or 12 guides at the moment.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_02: Everything from the generic stuff right through to everything you can think
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_02: of basically readying you for this situation.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_02: So I'll be releasing that soon.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_02: And if you're on the email list, I'll let you know as soon as it's ready quite quickly.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_02: You'll get access to it fairly quickly.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah, download that guide should help you.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_02: But I think it's really important you start thinking about and planning for all of this.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_02: Now, the next thing I wanted to mention was you've probably seen this video doing
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_02: the rounds and I think it tells you what is going to be happening.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_00: You can play the sound.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_01: NATO means supporting our Ukrainian friends in times of need.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_01: Slavo Ukraine!
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_02: Now, one thing I want to point out as we go through this video is
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_02: that everyone's very big on diversity, aren't they?
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_02: But I was fascinated that everybody in these videos is white.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_02: They're Caucasian, as it were, Europeans.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_02: I think this was the only guy that wasn't from the whole video.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_02: So it sort of tells you where this is leading.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's quite clear where this is all going to be going.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_02: All these people Talking about how proud they are.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_02: They're going to be coming together for this big conflict and for a free society
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_02: and everything else.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_02: It is just gaslighting really what they are.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_02: And it goes on and on and on.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_02: This just continues on and on and on and on.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_02: It's just crazy what we're being subjected to at the moment.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_02: It really is.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_02: And we've also got this news as well.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_02: This came out of Germany, so we actually broke this story a while back, and it's very worrying.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_02: But Germany has issued orders to 18-year-old men to undergo
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_02: a mandatory medical examination for military service.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_02: We know this, we talked about it previously.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_02: But now we've got protests all around the country,
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_02: 100 locations, 45,000 students are now protesting this.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_02: Because they don't want to be meat for the grinder.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_02: Let's talk then about the EU minister's plan for the hybrid threat response.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_02: This is another big story for today of everything that is taking place.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_02: Here's Kaya as usual.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_02: She loves to be in the spotlight, doesn't she?
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_02: Always making these huge announcements that are, well, Just weird and everything else.
• 11:46
  SPEAKER_02: So this is taking place right now, today.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_02: As we speak,
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_02: this meeting has already kicked off and it's their foreign ministers meeting
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_02: to strengthen the bloc's response to hybrid attacks.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_02: She, Kaya Callas,
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_02: has warned that Russia is planning further sabotage across Europe and that we need
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_02: to have a military,
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_02: yes, she did use the word Military response ready with or without the USA.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_02: So they are having this meeting right now.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_02: They are discussing their emergency security protocol designed
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_02: to help member states coordinate their responses quickly when the threat is
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_02: upon them.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_02: We need to be vigilant because we see in the intelligence
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_02: that Russia is planning more sabotage attacks.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_02: That's what she said.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_02: She said such attacks were aimed at European democracy,
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_02: seeking to divide communities and intimidate them into withdrawing their support
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_02: for Ukraine.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_02: Now,
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_02: this also links to the State of the European Union speech that was in Strasbourg
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_02: in mid-September.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_02: Where she said that they're going to create a new security structure
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_02: that could be triggered by a member state when a hybrid threat is identified.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_02: So I should probably just mention that because I think a lot
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_02: of people still don't understand what is meant by that.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_02: So it was quite vague but when you read into some of the documents around it.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_02: It's very clear to me that what they're looking to do is to create
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_02: a military response that would sit outside of Article 5.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_02: So let me give you an example.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_02: There is some sort of an incident,
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_02: like we almost had a big incident overnight, didn't we, with the RAF base.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not going to talk about that in today's video because It's all over
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_02: the mainstream media,
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_02: and I think every commentator and their dog is talking about it.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm not gonna...
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, there's not much more I can add.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_02: There's a couple of weird things I noticed,
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_02: but there's not much more I can add to what people are saying,
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_02: but I think we'll get more details in the coming days.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_02: But it was interesting,
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_02: wasn't it,
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_02: how the Prime Minister said,
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_02: even though you've got an image,
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_02: and it was a clear image,
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_02: some of the media blurred it, but you've got a clear image of these guys.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_02: Clear image.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_02: And he said he doesn't want to speculate over the motives as to,
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_02: you know, what these men were doing or who they were.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_02: And yet,
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_02: did you see the interview about Danny,
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_02: who is in prison right now for slashing the empty dinghy somewhere on the border
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_02: between France and Britain, which...
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_02: For criminal damage,
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_02: and I'm glad a lot of people have picked up on this,
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_02: that if it's criminal damage, well, who owns the boat?
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_02: I think that's what they're going to get caught out on this, but it's a circus anyway.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_02: And the Prime Minister was very quick to say that it was a racist attack.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_02: Him slashing an empty dinghy.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, you can't.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_02: It's a clown world that we're living in now.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_02: We really are living in this bizarre reality.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_02: Truly, truly.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_02: And we'll talk a bit more about what they've just announced in the UK as well in this video.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_02: But this is what I think is going to be taking place.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_02: They're going to be using this as an excuse.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_02: So coming back to the example, let's say that there is some sort of an incident.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_02: And they instantly point the finger, which is what they did at the RAF base.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_02: They pointed the finger right away on the BBC.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_02: They said this was Russia who did it.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_02: And now they've got more intel.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_02: They're saying, oh, actually, it could have been Iran that did it.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, or it could have just been these radical guys who have come in on dinghies,
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_02: or maybe they even live in the country, right?
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_02: Who knows?
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_02: They've just got some radical guys that were going to do this incident.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_02: It could be any of those things.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_02: But they jump into conclusions right away, thinking they all know what's going on.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_02: So let's say there is an incident,
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_02: and the US,
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_02: for example, says, look,
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_02: we don't know,
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_02: there isn't enough information and intel here to say that this was Russia,
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_02: so we're going to just hold fire.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I think that's why Ursula has now created this new measure,
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_02: because this new measure says, well, we don't have to wait on Article 5 anymore.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_02: If we verify this threat, then we can militarily move.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_02: And I think that's what this is all about.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_02: Let's go on to the next point there.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_02: And this is actually,
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_02: US and Poland are very close to a deal for an American base with 10,000 troops.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_02: And it's not just this American base with 10,000 troops in Poland,
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_02: but they also want to deploy,
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_02: this was announced,
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_02: by the way,
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_02: on Thursday,
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_02: just a few days ago,
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_02: But they also want to deploy 7,000 troops to Lithuania and Estonia.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_02: So again, coming back to the map a second here, there is Lithuania and there's Estonia.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_02: So you would basically have them in these two countries as well as Poland.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_02: So that's what Trump has mentioned that he would like to do.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_02: He'd like to move US troops there as well.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_02: He said, we want the kind of US... Who's this?
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, this is from the Council on Foreign Relations.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_02: He said, we want the kind of US presence that would reassure us but not be threatening.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_02: He said, we hope President Trump keeps the promise that he has made to this effect.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_02: We also had this.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_02: This was out of Reuters.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_02: This was the...
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_02: European need decisive change in defence effort to face Russian threat, the EU agency said.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_02: So they actually commissioned this big report then,
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_02: and the summary was the European Union is not rearming quickly or effectively enough
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_02: to meet its goal of being ready to,
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_02: let's change that word, fight,
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_02: or whatever,
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_02: against Russia by 2030,
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_02: because you know it's not going to be defensive, it will be attacking.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_02: According to the executive summary of an EU report prepared for the bloc's leaders,
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_02: the European Defence Agency said in its first annual Defence Readiness Report,
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_02: that's what they have stated,
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_02: tackling the challenges of a contested and deteriorating security environment and
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_02: the threat posed by Russia's aggression requires moving further
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_02: and substantially faster than now to reach Defence Readiness by 2030.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_02: So it's quite clear to me,
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_02: please leave a comment below,
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_02: it's quite clear to me what they are planning for and expecting.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_02: They also said,
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_02: however,
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_02: the current momentum and increased investment does not translate
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_02: into sufficiently deployable,
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_02: sustainable and interoperable forces while critical capability gaps remain.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_02: They said that enough isn't being done and they're going to need to ramp this up.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_02: So things are going to speed up is what they are saying.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_02: Another EU story, let's shift very slightly into energy now there.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_02: The EU tells countries to curb energy demand as gas prices face winter squeeze.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_02: This is exactly what I have been predicting would take place, and here we are.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_02: So they've said although the EU is not facing immediate gas shortages,
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_02: I debate that,
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_02: but Energy Commissioner Warned capitals that soaring prices driven
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_02: by rising global demand could lead to shortages as winter approaches.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_02: So that is what they have warned of right now.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_02: So he says that the EU government,
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_02: so that's each countries within the EU, needs to curb their energy demand.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_02: He said it needs to continue to curb the energy demand to reduce gas
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_02: and electricity consumption.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_02: Because there just isn't storage capacity or there's no capacity within the storage.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_02: He said,
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_02: I invite you to consider taking or continuing to take measures
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_02: that can sustain injections or reduce gas and electricity demand for as long
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_02: as necessary.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_02: Noting that the situation has not improved since his warning in March.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_02: So that was six months ago.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_02: He said that things would improve, but he gave everyone a warning.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_02: We talked about it on the channel.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_02: He said, if it isn't improved by X date, then we're in big trouble.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_02: Well, we're at that date now.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_02: We're six months later.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_02: We're going into winter and the situation hasn't improved.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_02: In fact, it's gotten so bad that this has been all over the UK media today.
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_02: UK emergency fuel plans have been revealed from 50 mile per hour speed limit to fuel rationing.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_02: Government contingency plans designed to help the UK deal
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_02: with potential diesel shortages could be revisited as fuel prices hit
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_02: an all-time high.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it was shocking the prices that people are now paying at the pump.
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_02: Some people are paying well over £2 a litre for diesel now.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_02: A lot of money.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_02: It's going to really cut into...
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_02: People's budgets, truly.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_02: So the RAC has forecast that diesel is about to smash its previous record.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_02: The government says there's nothing they can do about it because this is because of
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_02: the United States and Iran.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_02: It's interesting how they always say the United States and Iran.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_02: They never mention Israel.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_02: It was Israel, US, and Iran.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_02: That's what really started this conflict.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_02: But they keep saying it's a US-Iran conflict.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_02: So The price now is £2 a litre on diesel, £1.75 a litre on petrol.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_02: And this is what they are looking at.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_02: So they've got unlimited measures to do whatever they want to do.
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_02: But they are talking about temporary speed limits of 50 miles per hour.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_02: Well, if you live in the UK and you drive down the motorway,
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_02: you know that this scam has been going on forever.
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_02: You try You drive for miles, don't you, down the motorway, and it's just cones.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_02: And you go, where's all the road workers?
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_02: And there's one guy in a high-vis vest, you know, with a pickaxe or something at the end.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_02: So this is deliberate.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_02: This whole 50 mile per hour thing has been going on deliberately for...
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_02: It's probably a decade at this point that it's been like this.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_02: Now, a political correspondent said in March,
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_02: as you would expect,
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_02: the government has emergency plans in place which will be activated in the event
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_02: of severe disruption.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_02: These are published online and they include things like rationing,
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_02: giving emergency services and public transport priority for fuel over You,
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_02: basically, and a temporary 50 mph speed limit to reduce the demand for fuel.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_02: So this is not anything new.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_02: We've talked about this six months ago on the channel.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_02: This is what they are looking to do.
• 23:45
  SPEAKER_02: It will be priority driving use only.
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_02: And yet, here's the first thing I'd be doing.
• 23:53
  SPEAKER_02: If I were the Labour Party and the Prime Minister,
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_02: You've got this huge potential win by going, right,
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_02: let's get the North Sea open,
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_02: let's start building refineries and importing the fuel
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_02: and we'll refine it ourselves.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_02: Nope.
• 24:11
  SPEAKER_02: None of this, he hasn't mentioned any of this, it's crazy talk.
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_02: Another really key one,
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_02: I need to warn everybody about this if you're in the UK,
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_02: if you haven't seen this yet, this is a huge one that has been announced today.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_02: And by the way, please subscribe if you're not a subscriber to the channel.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_02: Let me show you this, this is big.
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_02: Councils in the UK have just been handed power to seize empty homes after just six months.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_02: So if you have a home and it's empty for six months,
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_02: The councils in the UK can now seize these properties.
• 24:49
  SPEAKER_02: This is absolutely legitimate.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_02: It's out of the telegraph here.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_02: So Labour has been accused of threatening empty homeless rights
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_02: after giving councils power to actually basically steal these houses.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_02: And I think about The amount of people,
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_02: I think about my home that I sold in the UK and it took a long,
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_02: long time to sell because I won't go over the whole story but beautiful area,
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_02: really nice cul-de-sac and then the government put two bail houses in the street
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_02: which started the whole thing off.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_02: When you have these houses with people on bail,
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_02: nothing against people trying to You know,
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_02: sort their lives out after prison or whatever.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_02: But they had two of these houses and had about four or five guys in each one.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_02: And it just, that's what set the street off.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_02: Then the student, multiple occupation houses.
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_02: Then the home office, refugee houses and all this.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_02: Caused a nightmare.
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_02: And it took me a long time, over a year, to sell my house.
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_02: Now, where do you draw the line with that?
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_02: Like, you know what councils are like.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_02: They...
• 25:59
  SPEAKER_02: You send them an email these days and they reply saying, oh,
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_02: we will reply to you in the next 21 days due to staff shortages and crazy stuff like
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_02: that.
• 26:08
  SPEAKER_02: I emailed one over some council tax I didn't owe because I haven't lived in the UK
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_02: for a long time.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_02: And it said, we will respond within 25 days.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_02: 25 days?
• 26:17
  SPEAKER_02: Are you...
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_02: And then what?
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_02: I reply again and it's another 25.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_02: It was crazy where they had basically a court order.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_02: You have to go to court and all this.
• 26:26
  SPEAKER_02: But I didn't owe this money and it was really frustrating.
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_02: There's no one I could talk to.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_02: So where do you draw the line?
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_02: You know, if a house is on the market for a year, can they just come in?
• 26:37
  SPEAKER_02: What if you, it's a second home.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_02: What if it's been left to you by a relative that's passed away?
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_02: Where do you, Where do you draw the line with it?
• 26:48
  SPEAKER_02: You might want to renovate it yourself,
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_02: but you need to save up some money or something like that.
• 26:53
  SPEAKER_02: This is authoritarian, what they are now looking to do.
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_02: It says that they can take the property and they can rent it out for up to seven years.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_02: They don't have to give you any evidence of antisocial behavior or anything like
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_02: that before taking control.
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the warnings that are coming out now is don't risk leaving your property empty.
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_02: If you've got a second home as well or a holiday home, it can be confiscated.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_02: Holiday homes, fair game.
• 27:28
  SPEAKER_02: I'd be selling, personally.
• 27:31
  SPEAKER_02: I would be selling.
• 27:33
  SPEAKER_02: There's over 300,000 properties that are vacant in the UK right now,
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_02: many of them holiday homes, and these are all Fair game.
• 27:43
  SPEAKER_02: Even properties in probate are fair game.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_02: This is very worrying what the UK is becoming.
• 27:51
  SPEAKER_02: Truly, truly is.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_02: And what can we say, ladies and gentlemen?
• 27:57
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like I'm a broken record every video talking about this stuff.
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's pretty much done.
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_02: I really do.
• 28:05
  SPEAKER_02: I know a lot of people...
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_02: The fight back has started as well now.
• 28:09
  SPEAKER_02: You're seeing the fight back and I really salute everybody for the fight back.
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_02: I'm just concerned that it's too late now.
• 28:17
  SPEAKER_02: That is my biggest concern.
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's...
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's too late in some regards.
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_02: And it's still 2029 before an election.
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_02: Three more years of this,
• 28:27
  SPEAKER_02: they'll probably push the country into war at that point just so that they can avoid
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_02: an election.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_02: That's what I think they're going to do.
• 28:35
  SPEAKER_02: Because if you're in a wartime crisis, there's no elections.
• 28:39
  SPEAKER_02: I think I just don't see a solution to this problem right now.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_02: It's sad to say, but that's Yeah, that's it.
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_02: The best thing you can do, prepare yourself, prepare your family as best as you possibly can.
