Speaker 1: Good afternoon.
0:09
Speaker 2: It's Friday, the fifteenth of August twenty twenty five, just
0:11
Speaker 2: after one o'clock and welcome to UK column News. I'm
0:13
Speaker 2: your host Mike Robinson joining me by video link. Today
0:16
Speaker 2: our journalists in peace campaigner Vanessa Bailey and journalist Mark Anderson.
0:21
Speaker 2: Today I'm going to be covering more on the Online
0:23
Speaker 2: Safety Act. In a moment, Will Coleshill will have the
0:26
Speaker 2: latest from the Polona Chamarani inquest. Vanessa is going to
0:30
Speaker 2: be reporting on Iran and Syria and Lebanon, and Mark
0:33
Speaker 2: will be looking into well, amongst other things, neuro warfare.
0:37
Speaker 2: But we're going to begin today with the Trump Putin meeting,
0:41
Speaker 2: because today today is the Today is the day Trump
0:46
Speaker 2: and Putin are to meet. Trump is just about to
0:48
Speaker 2: get on Air Force one apparently to fly to Alaska,
0:51
Speaker 2: and well, the hysteria only increases now. Yesterday Zelenski came
0:56
Speaker 2: to London for hugs there there, Vlad'll be okay, said Starmer.
1:01
Speaker 2: Apparently now at the time Zelenski was doing at the
1:05
Speaker 2: same time, rather, he was doing all he could to
1:08
Speaker 2: make sure that the war continues. And as Ashin Ratanzi
1:11
Speaker 2: here is reporting on x Zelenski attacking Belgarod ahead of
1:16
Speaker 2: the Trump Putin summit to provoke Russia into massive retaliation,
1:20
Speaker 2: and also making the point that they've begun striking residential
1:23
Speaker 2: buildings inside Russia in an attempt to provoke a major
1:27
Speaker 2: retaliation before the Trump Putin summit. So lots of that
1:31
Speaker 2: going on now. A couple of days ago, the Russian
1:34
Speaker 2: embassy in London put out a statement and it said
1:38
Speaker 2: Russia has been and remains open to resolving the Ukrainian
1:42
Speaker 2: conflict through political and diplomatic means. At the same time,
1:45
Speaker 2: we must pursue a lasting and long term peace, which
1:48
Speaker 2: can only be achieved by eradicating the root causes of
1:51
Speaker 2: the crisis. Against this background, we note the ongoing attempts
1:55
Speaker 2: by London and some of its partners to disrupt a
1:58
Speaker 2: peace wreck resolution of the confed by eliminating its root causes.
2:03
Speaker 2: And one of the root causes they identify to finish
2:05
Speaker 2: that quote, one of the root causes they identify is Britain,
2:08
Speaker 2: and rightly so, and they're going to say in their statement.
2:11
Speaker 2: This is clearly demonstrated by the statements and activity developed
2:15
Speaker 2: by the British leadership in the run up to the
2:17
Speaker 2: Russian American Summit in Alaska. This policy once again confirms
2:21
Speaker 2: the opportunistic approach of the European capitals, which are hoping
2:25
Speaker 2: to further use Ukraine as an anti Russian battering ram. So,
2:31
Speaker 2: but let's come on to a comedy segment on today's news.
2:36
Speaker 2: And because Britain has been pulling out all the stops
2:40
Speaker 2: to keep the war going as the Russians hint at here,
2:43
Speaker 2: including sending the chief of the Defense Staff, the vastly
2:47
Speaker 2: delusional Sir Tony Radikin to Washington to speak to the
2:50
Speaker 2: Center for Strategic and International Studies. For those of you
2:54
Speaker 2: who haven't made it through one of my speeches before,
2:56
Speaker 2: he said, the gist is as follows. We're in more
3:00
Speaker 2: dangerous era, but Britain remains safe, NATO is stronger, Russia
3:06
Speaker 2: is weak, and the West has the military and economic
3:10
Speaker 2: and intellectual heft needed to buttress the global system. And
3:15
Speaker 2: you know, the question is what has he been smoking?
3:17
Speaker 1: Now?
3:17
Speaker 2: I want to highlight four points he made in his
3:20
Speaker 2: speech and get Vanessa in Mark's thoughts on them.
3:22
Speaker 1: Maybe.
3:23
Speaker 2: So first, his claim that Britain has good reason to
3:26
Speaker 2: be confident in the quality of our armed forces and
3:30
Speaker 2: intelligence services. He said, in the strength of our defense
3:33
Speaker 2: construct and the path before us now is the right.
3:36
Speaker 3: One.
3:37
Speaker 2: Second, he said NATO two should be confident in the
3:41
Speaker 2: enormous overmatch we enjoy in Russia's weakness and put in
3:45
Speaker 2: his dilemma and how that should embolden our strategy of
3:50
Speaker 2: the terrence. Third, he said, the return of state craft.
3:53
Speaker 2: How are leaders prepared to use the military instrument alongside
3:57
Speaker 2: the other leavers of national power to advance our collective interests.
4:01
Speaker 2: And the fourth point he made was a point on
4:04
Speaker 2: technology and the need to retain our advantage, especially with
4:07
Speaker 2: respect to artificial intelligence. So, Vanessa, maybe if I could
4:12
Speaker 2: invite comment from you first, assuming you've stopped laughing at
4:17
Speaker 2: this point, what do you make of that?
4:19
Speaker 1: What your nonsense?
4:24
Speaker 3: It's utterly delusional. I don't really know what else to say.
4:28
Speaker 3: I mean, it's such hubrious in the face of what
4:33
Speaker 3: has been happening since the start of a special military operation.
4:39
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know if they think they're
4:40
Speaker 3: going to defeat Russia with propaganda. That's about the best
4:44
Speaker 3: I can make of that.
4:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it is.
4:49
Speaker 2: So incredibly difficult now to comment on some of these
4:53
Speaker 2: things that these guys are saying because they're completely off
4:55
Speaker 2: their heads.
4:56
Speaker 1: But you know, while.
4:57
Speaker 2: Radigan was deployed to wind up the US audience, former
5:03
Speaker 2: MI six head Sir Alex Younger was deployed to the
5:05
Speaker 2: radio for Today program yesterday to wind up the domestic audience.
5:10
Speaker 2: So let's just have a brief lesson to what he
5:14
Speaker 2: had to say.
5:16
Speaker 4: I think we can isolate some facts. Nonetheless, The first
5:20
Speaker 4: is that Steve Witkoff, Trump's envoy is out of his depth.
5:26
Speaker 4: He can talk, but he doesn't listen, he doesn't write
5:28
Speaker 4: stuff down, he didn't take an interpreter. So this deal,
5:32
Speaker 4: this of and ready deal that he's presented, which apparently
5:35
Speaker 4: just requires Russian signature, is a total fantasy. And that
5:39
Speaker 4: relates to the second hard fact, which, as I've seen,
5:43
Speaker 4: absolutely nothing that indicates the Putin is in any way
5:47
Speaker 4: prepared to change course and resolved from his aim of
5:51
Speaker 4: total subjugation. So it's hard to be optimistic, even though
5:56
Speaker 4: of course we desperately want a diplomatic solution, the risks
6:01
Speaker 4: are pretty high on the downside, and the key things
6:04
Speaker 4: we need from these talks are twofold one that Ukraine
6:08
Speaker 4: gets in the room, and two that we double down
6:12
Speaker 4: on the pressure we're putting on Putin, which is working.
6:15
Speaker 4: We've been pretty hopeless. Our sort of vacillation and perslemity
6:19
Speaker 4: actually in some ways encourage Putin. We've been living in
6:23
Speaker 4: la la land. But it's hard to overstate how different
6:26
Speaker 4: that feels now. And of course Europe has been excluded,
6:30
Speaker 4: and that's a problem, as it is that Ukraine has
6:32
Speaker 4: been excluded. But I think they've organized to tremendous effect
6:36
Speaker 4: to add consequence to both Putin and Trump's actions. And
6:40
Speaker 4: I would go further, and this is a bold statement,
6:42
Speaker 4: and it's possibly overreaching, but I think we're getting to
6:45
Speaker 4: the point now where Europe can actually effectively substitute for
6:49
Speaker 4: the tremendous contribution the US has made. And that of
6:53
Speaker 4: course assumes that Trump remains ready to sell weapons and
6:56
Speaker 4: to sustain the intelligence fee.
7:00
Speaker 2: So the question is what's the upshot of all this
7:03
Speaker 2: nonsense rhetoric. Well, according to the Financial Times, here the
7:08
Speaker 2: upshot is European defense. Europe builds for war as arms
7:12
Speaker 2: factories expand at triple speed, is their headline. Now, Alex
7:15
Speaker 2: Younger may be saying that Europe needs the United States
7:19
Speaker 2: to maintain armed supplies or at least arm seals. But
7:23
Speaker 2: Europe seems to be working at least. The FT is
7:25
Speaker 2: saying that Europe is working as hard as they can
7:28
Speaker 2: to minimize the reliance on the United States and to
7:31
Speaker 2: maximize the taxpayer funded profits which can be made from
7:36
Speaker 2: the war machine. To quote them a little bit here,
7:39
Speaker 2: Europe's weapons factories are expanding at three times the rate
7:41
Speaker 2: of peace time, stretching over seven million square meters of
7:44
Speaker 2: new industrial development. That represents rearmament on a historic scale.
7:49
Speaker 2: They're going to say, the data shows that Europe's long
7:52
Speaker 2: promised defense revival, driven by an injection of public subsidies,
7:56
Speaker 2: is beginning to materialize, not just in policy rhetoric or
8:00
Speaker 2: spending pledges, also in concrete and steel and Vanessa. The
8:04
Speaker 2: longer this progresses, the more I'm coming to the conclusion
8:08
Speaker 2: that this is simply a rerun of the COVID scam.
8:10
Speaker 2: So you create an enemy that doesn't really exist, because
8:13
Speaker 2: make no mistake, at least in my opinion, Russia is
8:15
Speaker 2: not our enemy unless we make it one and then
8:19
Speaker 2: use the fear generated to justify funneling tax money in
8:22
Speaker 2: the corporate interests, whether those are big Farma in one
8:25
Speaker 2: kiss or the big war machine in the other kiss.
8:29
Speaker 1: Do you think I'm wrong in that?
8:32
Speaker 3: No, absolutely not. I would actually say that COVID was
8:35
Speaker 3: a continuation of the previous war strategy, because what has
8:39
Speaker 3: the West always done. It's created the boogieman, whether it's
8:45
Speaker 3: Saddam Hussein or Mohama Gaddafi or President Assad of Syria,
8:52
Speaker 3: and then create the fear factor that somehow they're threatening
8:56
Speaker 3: national security in the EU, UK or US since nine eleven,
9:02
Speaker 3: of course, So I think really it's just a continuation
9:05
Speaker 3: of the same strategy that really took precedence after nine
9:10
Speaker 3: to eleven.
9:11
Speaker 2: Okay, well, thank you for that. Let's come to you
9:14
Speaker 2: and well Patrick on Wednesday was talking a little bit
9:17
Speaker 2: about the potential for the growing conflict in Lebanon. But
9:23
Speaker 2: what's your thoughts on the situation.
9:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of maneuvering going on, of course, with
9:30
Speaker 3: Saudi Arabia and Israel partnering with Washington to try and
9:35
Speaker 3: disarm Hez Bolar and other resistance factions, not only Shia
9:40
Speaker 3: Muslim but Christian Sunni Muslim resistance factions in Lebanon that
9:46
Speaker 3: have historically of course supported Palestine and opposed the expansionism
9:53
Speaker 3: of Israel. So first of all, let's have a look
9:57
Speaker 3: at what's been going on more recently. I know Pat
10:00
Speaker 3: alluded to this on Wednesday, A strategy of surrender has
10:04
Speaker 3: Black condemns the Lebanese cabinet decision on disarmament, where basically
10:08
Speaker 3: they were saying that there should be a statement ofly
10:10
Speaker 3: on arms by the end of the year. But however,
10:14
Speaker 3: we're not putting any pressure on Israel to withdraw from
10:18
Speaker 3: the points that it continues to occupy in southern Lebanon,
10:22
Speaker 3: and of course it continues I think more than four
10:25
Speaker 3: thousand violations now of the alleged ceasefire that came into
10:28
Speaker 3: effect in November twenty twenty four. So this is quite interesting.
10:33
Speaker 3: This was a poll that was carried out by the
10:36
Speaker 3: Lebanese Consultative Center for Studies and Documentation, carried out between
10:41
Speaker 3: the twenty seventh of July and the fourth August amongst
10:45
Speaker 3: six hundred individuals from all different sects in Lebanon, and
10:50
Speaker 3: it came up with the results that the majority of
10:52
Speaker 3: Lebanese opposed has disarmament. This is in more depth, majority
10:58
Speaker 3: of the citizens opposed to armament of pes Bla without
11:01
Speaker 3: guaranteed national defense strategy seventy one points. Seventy percent believe
11:06
Speaker 3: that the Lebanese armed forces or the army is not
11:09
Speaker 3: capable of confronting Israeli attacks alone, which is absolutely correct.
11:14
Speaker 3: Seventy six percent believe that diplomatic relations will not deter Israel,
11:20
Speaker 3: and fifty eight percent are against disarmament with no alternative strategy.
11:25
Speaker 3: They then raised the question of the threat from the
11:29
Speaker 3: tak fiory forces of the so called New Syria President
11:34
Speaker 3: Abu Muhammad al Trolani or Ahmed al Shada as he's
11:37
Speaker 3: known now in the worst So this was the result
11:41
Speaker 3: on the questions raised regarding the threat from Syria. Seventy
11:45
Speaker 3: three percent see events in Syria as an existential threat
11:48
Speaker 3: to Lebanon. Seventy four percent believe Syria threatens security and
11:53
Speaker 3: stability in Lebanon. Sixty eight percent fear that they could
11:57
Speaker 3: pave the way for a war by armed groups against
12:00
Speaker 3: in Syria against Lebanon. And of course this is very
12:04
Speaker 3: much in line with what I've been talking about the
12:07
Speaker 3: invasion of the north or the infiltration of the north
12:10
Speaker 3: of Lebanon by the tech theory elements from inside Syria. Now,
12:14
Speaker 3: I just want to run this video. This was a
12:17
Speaker 3: video filmed on the tenth of August, so a few
12:20
Speaker 3: days ago. Now, there was a tragedy that hit the
12:25
Speaker 3: Lebanese Armed Forces. Six soldiers died when HESBLA had actually
12:30
Speaker 3: taken them to an hes B arms depot for them
12:33
Speaker 3: to dismantle it. What is interesting is here you see
12:37
Speaker 3: the Lebanese flag and you see the hes BLAR resistance
12:40
Speaker 3: flag being flown alongside one another. What is very important
12:45
Speaker 3: for people to understand is that the Lebanese Armed Forces,
12:49
Speaker 3: for example a family in the south, one of their
12:51
Speaker 3: sons might go into the army and the other might
12:53
Speaker 3: join HESBLA. Just to give you an indication of how
12:57
Speaker 3: intertwined the army, the people and the resistance basically are.
13:04
Speaker 3: And what is interesting, sorry, just quickly about that story,
13:07
Speaker 3: no need to go back, is that Israel actually warned
13:11
Speaker 3: the UNIFL, the UN forces or peacekeeping units not to
13:16
Speaker 3: go with the Lebanese army, which is very unusual. And
13:20
Speaker 3: there were Israeli drones overhead during the time that the
13:24
Speaker 3: army were investigating or dismantling has BLA weapons. So speculation
13:30
Speaker 3: here is that Israel had something to do with the
13:33
Speaker 3: attack in order to try and cause division between the
13:37
Speaker 3: army and Hasbelah. Now I think this is important. I
13:40
Speaker 3: want to look at the options for Lebanon. I know
13:43
Speaker 3: touched on them, but I think in a little bit
13:45
Speaker 3: more detail. So if we have a look at how
13:47
Speaker 3: I've divided it down. So first of all, there is potential,
13:51
Speaker 3: of course for war in Lebanon against Israel that has
13:55
Speaker 3: really only similred to some kind of low intent density.
14:01
Speaker 3: Then of course there's the potential for the civil war
14:05
Speaker 3: that is being created by particularly Saudi Arabia, but of
14:10
Speaker 3: course in partnership with Israel and Washington. But I think
14:14
Speaker 3: more importantly the intention is to actually destroy the Lebanese
14:18
Speaker 3: armed forces or their capability to be a serious defense
14:21
Speaker 3: force in the future, to manufacture a setarian divide within
14:25
Speaker 3: the army itself because fifty of the laf are Shia
14:30
Speaker 3: Muslim and forcing really the Lebanese Army to become nothing
14:35
Speaker 3: more than an internal security force, very poorly weaponized by
14:40
Speaker 3: the US that sponsors them. And of course then if
14:44
Speaker 3: that were to happen, the civil war scenario, Jolani would
14:47
Speaker 3: potentially exploit the vacuum created to in inverted commas protect
14:52
Speaker 3: the Sunni factions in Lebanon from any of the civil
14:56
Speaker 3: war fallout, and that of course would include invasion by
15:00
Speaker 3: his own forces. Now, for Hezbolla, the options are that
15:04
Speaker 3: they can negotiate that potentially they become a defensive force
15:08
Speaker 3: under the control of the government and the army, which
15:11
Speaker 3: is very similar to what happened in Iraq. And Barack
15:14
Speaker 3: is basically saying. Tom Barrack, the US envoy, what he's
15:17
Speaker 3: effectively saying to the Lebanese people, of course, is that
15:20
Speaker 3: we want you to die for Israel. That is being
15:23
Speaker 3: very clearly understood by the majority of people in Lebanon.
15:27
Speaker 3: And again the latest statement from Tom Barrett the US
15:30
Speaker 3: will fully equip the Lebanese armed forces to help them
15:33
Speaker 3: implement the decision to withdraw weapons. I urge you to
15:37
Speaker 3: freeze that and read it again to understand how utterly
15:41
Speaker 3: ridiculous that is. And finally, we have a video from
15:44
Speaker 3: someone that I think everyone knows, journalist mart Osman, who's
15:48
Speaker 3: speaking from her perspective, giving a message to the Lebanese people.
15:54
Speaker 5: A great sin that serves Zonus Israel's interests.
15:57
Speaker 6: This is not an exaggeration, it is an accurate reading
16:00
Speaker 6: of the government acting under external dictats and at the expense.
16:04
Speaker 5: Of Lebanon security. Listen closely.
16:07
Speaker 6: A parliamentary paper or a cabinet mammal cannot dismantle a
16:11
Speaker 6: resistance that is woven into the fabric of our society,
16:15
Speaker 6: Nor can it erase the memory of daily raids and
16:18
Speaker 6: airstrikes that have killed and displaced our people. Pro resistance
16:22
Speaker 6: voices across Lebanon, from the south to the Baka to Beirut,
16:25
Speaker 6: have mobilized in the streets, and ministers aligned with resistance
16:29
Speaker 6: factions walked out in a protest during the cabinet session.
16:33
Speaker 6: The ground reality is simple. Legitimacy does not come from decrees.
16:37
Speaker 6: It comes from protecting the people. So what will the
16:40
Speaker 6: resistance do? Expect a sustained campaign of political delegitimization, mass protests,
16:46
Speaker 6: parliamentary pressure, diplomatic appeals to regional partners, and a complete
16:51
Speaker 6: effort to obstruct any implementation that hands our weapons to
16:55
Speaker 6: foreign designs.
16:57
Speaker 5: This is a fight for Lebanon's survival.
17:00
Speaker 3: Ye I think she said it very clearly.
17:04
Speaker 2: The yeah, thank you, Vanessa, thank you very much for that.
17:08
Speaker 2: Let me welcome Mark to the program. Mark, what is
17:14
Speaker 2: neuro warfare? Let's ask that question to begin with.
17:19
Speaker 7: Well, Mike, first of all, let me mention that I
17:22
Speaker 7: was listening to some of the Red Pill conference, the
17:25
Speaker 7: one that recently happened in Tulsa, and there was one
17:29
Speaker 7: presentation that mentioned the five Brains initiative. And what happened
17:34
Speaker 7: was I started digging into the rabbit hole and I
17:37
Speaker 7: revived my thetruthhound dot com blog, which has been kind
17:41
Speaker 7: of dormant for a while, and I came up with
17:43
Speaker 7: this article and this will help answer your question. NATO
17:47
Speaker 7: linked fictional so called fictional war strategy scenario. This is
17:51
Speaker 7: the headline sees the human mind, the human mind as
17:55
Speaker 7: the ultimate domain to conquer. Moving on from there, I'm
18:01
Speaker 7: just referencing the article here a little bit. An independent
18:04
Speaker 7: French institute, among others that have done these studies, has
18:08
Speaker 7: produced a wargame scenario that sees the human mind itself
18:11
Speaker 7: as the next and perhaps most important domain to conquer
18:15
Speaker 7: and occupy. I might add a particular study put together
18:18
Speaker 7: by Herve leg Guerdier, a researcher for the National Higher
18:23
Speaker 7: School of Cognitive Science in Bordeaux, France. He put his
18:26
Speaker 7: essay together initially issued about five years ago, but it
18:30
Speaker 7: describes what it calls a largely fictitious scenario and policy goals,
18:35
Speaker 7: envisioning a timeframe from twenty eighteen to twenty forty. So
18:38
Speaker 7: it's looking at all these extrapolations, and the disturbing theme
18:43
Speaker 7: is the weaponization of neurosciences. And we'll continue here. This
18:49
Speaker 7: is a picture of the researcher, mister Lee Goudiera. I
18:53
Speaker 7: hope I'm saying his name right, and that's of course
18:56
Speaker 7: the title page to his study Weaponization of Sciences. And
19:00
Speaker 7: again this particular study, he puts it in a quasi
19:05
Speaker 7: fictional framework, saying some of this is real, but a
19:08
Speaker 7: lot of it is just you know, hypothetical and things
19:13
Speaker 7: like that. Anyway, as I note in this slide, they
19:16
Speaker 7: also envision a summit twenty twenty six NATO summit transcending
19:22
Speaker 7: to traditional realms of land, sea, and air, cyberspace, outer space.
19:28
Speaker 7: We now have the human mind as that sixth domain,
19:31
Speaker 7: and all of this study and all of the think
19:34
Speaker 7: tank activity will culminate in a four now fictional NATO
19:38
Speaker 7: summit that may take place July seventeen, twenty twenty six,
19:42
Speaker 7: in Brussels, Belgium. And the report suggests that there is
19:47
Speaker 7: mister Ligridier's report or essay they call it. It suggests
19:52
Speaker 7: that the summit will be entitled the Human Mind the
19:55
Speaker 7: sixth domain of operation. And just for clarity, we'll show
19:58
Speaker 7: this slide if you well, what are those six domains? Air, land, sea, cyberspace,
20:05
Speaker 7: space and finally the human mind. And now to get
20:09
Speaker 7: into the mechanics of this a little bit more or
20:13
Speaker 7: or some of the issues surrounding it as well. The
20:16
Speaker 7: Five Brains initiative. We've all heard of the Five Eyes
20:20
Speaker 7: Intel alliance. That's Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK and
20:23
Speaker 7: the US. Well, now, all this talk, some of it hypothetical,
20:28
Speaker 7: some of it not, is the Five Brains initiative. It
20:32
Speaker 7: kind of parallels the Five Eyes, although it's a little
20:35
Speaker 7: different in terms of its makeup. Five brains would be France, Germany, Japan,
20:39
Speaker 7: Norway and the US. But apparently that initiative is becoming
20:44
Speaker 7: a reality. And in the executive summary of that French
20:48
Speaker 7: report it says, well, while it has been said that
20:51
Speaker 7: everything can be weaponized, neurosciences and more broadly speaking NBIC
20:57
Speaker 7: or nanotechnology, biotechnology, INFO technology and cognitive sciences are clearly
21:03
Speaker 7: providing state and non state actors with some true game changers.
21:08
Speaker 7: That's the executive summary of that French report and some
21:12
Speaker 7: other things, and this is where it gets really interesting.
21:15
Speaker 7: On pages four and five of that report, one of
21:19
Speaker 7: the eight scientific objectives of neuroscience weaponization research is to
21:24
Speaker 7: recognize fake news or fake news recognition. That's on pages
21:29
Speaker 7: four and five. Page five it notes the risks that
21:32
Speaker 7: social media may pose to liberal democratic systems and that
21:37
Speaker 7: social media gives users the power to spread and receive
21:41
Speaker 7: what is called contaminated information. And on page nine of
21:45
Speaker 7: that report by the French researcher, it asked the question
21:49
Speaker 7: what would trigger article five, among other things, adversaries such
21:54
Speaker 7: as fake news factories prompting anti NATO activities. And what's
22:01
Speaker 7: really jumping out at me, Mike on this before we
22:04
Speaker 7: look at a few more slides, is that as they
22:07
Speaker 7: move the chess pieces, as they move this stuff from
22:10
Speaker 7: hypothetical and futuristic research and scooted into the realm or reality,
22:17
Speaker 7: they get closer and closer to defining alternative news as
22:22
Speaker 7: a element of enemy tactics. So it's not really all
22:27
Speaker 7: that far off if you extrapolate this a little bit
22:30
Speaker 7: where alternative news that doesn't go along with a conventional narrative,
22:34
Speaker 7: especially if it were to affect something going on in
22:37
Speaker 7: a war significantly enough, then that news could be defined
22:42
Speaker 7: as an element of an enemy attack because you're cognitively
22:47
Speaker 7: changing the viewpoints of the population. So, in other words,
22:51
Speaker 7: the question becomes, at what point do alternative news outlets
22:55
Speaker 7: become defined as enemy combatants? And that's a pretty chick
23:00
Speaker 7: thing to consider. Now we'll move forward here a little more.
23:06
Speaker 7: Is it really so fictional? This next slide asked that question,
23:09
Speaker 7: not so fictional question. Here's another study cognitive warfare. In
23:15
Speaker 7: twenty twenty four, NATO's Allied Command Transformation and this is
23:19
Speaker 7: real was tasked with developing a comprehensive cognitive war concept
23:24
Speaker 7: to be finalized in late twenty twenty four. So there's
23:29
Speaker 7: some reality to this. And the next slide goes on
23:33
Speaker 7: to explain a little more. And the source of this
23:37
Speaker 7: is The Three Swords, a magazine by a specialized native
23:44
Speaker 7: warfare center in its infancy. This article claims to raise
23:50
Speaker 7: awareness of a new NATO concept that's supposedly in its infancy.
23:53
Speaker 7: But we'll have a major impact on individuals, groups, societies
23:57
Speaker 7: and the way future wars are fought. So this is
24:03
Speaker 7: an interesting evolving thing to be sure. One of the
24:06
Speaker 7: main goals is to break social cohesion. This also comes
24:12
Speaker 7: from that report that I just showed that is showing
24:16
Speaker 7: this to be a more real concept. Cognitive warfare, it says,
24:20
Speaker 7: is a structured approach to target the cognition of individuals, groups,
24:25
Speaker 7: and societies to affect their decision making processes and ultimately
24:30
Speaker 7: their behavior. It would mean propaganda, it would mean using
24:34
Speaker 7: AI more heavily, things like that. While cognitive effects are
24:38
Speaker 7: not typically measurable, they do affect how we think, feel
24:41
Speaker 7: and act using brain centered technologies that aim to destabilize structures,
24:47
Speaker 7: create distrust, and I put emphasis on this and fracture
24:51
Speaker 7: and break social cohesion.
24:55
Speaker 3: And what's really.
24:56
Speaker 7: Interesting in my opinion before we look at this last slide,
25:00
Speaker 7: is that if you think about television, if you think
25:04
Speaker 7: about even things in academia, especially television, elements of cognitive
25:10
Speaker 7: warfare have been going on for a very long time
25:13
Speaker 7: because the mass media cartel, the conventional news system, it
25:17
Speaker 7: does seek to break social cohesion. Look at BBC's field
25:24
Speaker 7: operations that you and Brian have talked about. It undermines
25:28
Speaker 7: the culture, it undermines society. So NATO is talking about
25:32
Speaker 7: this through its Allied Command transformation. They're talking about it
25:36
Speaker 7: as if all of this might come from China or Russia,
25:40
Speaker 7: and the democratic societies that NATO seeks to protect would
25:45
Speaker 7: be on the receiving end of this. That's largely what
25:48
Speaker 7: the discussion is about. But we all know that the
25:51
Speaker 7: best offense is a good or the best defense is
25:53
Speaker 7: a good offense rather and therefore NATO is going to
25:56
Speaker 7: practice the very things that it condemns. They're going to
25:59
Speaker 7: use cognitive warfare. In fact, they already are against who
26:03
Speaker 7: they perceive to be the enemy, just as if they
26:05
Speaker 7: just as they say China and Russia, will use it
26:08
Speaker 7: against Western nations and NATO nations. Lastly, I'm adding even
26:14
Speaker 7: more reality to this. Let's show this last slide. The
26:18
Speaker 7: National Library of Medicine under the US National Institutes of
26:21
Speaker 7: Health is talking about this as it's becoming much more
26:26
Speaker 7: of a reality and its applicability to political science. The
26:30
Speaker 7: headline of this study from the Frontiers in Big Data
26:33
Speaker 7: being Cognitive Warfare a conceptual analysis of the NATO Allied
26:39
Speaker 7: Command Transformation. Cognitive Warfare exploratory concept published just last November,
26:45
Speaker 7: and so it's fast becoming a reality, even though parts
26:49
Speaker 7: of it are hypothetical for now. But they're really trying
26:52
Speaker 7: to be on the present, you might say, omniscient in
26:57
Speaker 7: terms of monitoring people people and looking at undermining entire
27:03
Speaker 7: societies and actually backing away from kinetic warfare. That's what
27:07
Speaker 7: I'm hearing. There'd be less bombs and missiles and more
27:12
Speaker 7: challenging the thinking and the societal structure of the so
27:18
Speaker 7: called enemy. So it's a long term issue. I wanted
27:21
Speaker 7: to get it out today, Mike. Naturally, I'll return to
27:24
Speaker 7: this sometime at times and probably do an article on
27:28
Speaker 7: it as well.
27:29
Speaker 1: So back to you, Thank you, Mark.
27:30
Speaker 2: And what I would say to this is we need
27:32
Speaker 2: to talk about this an extra but I would just
27:34
Speaker 2: make the suggestion that in fact, this is this type
27:37
Speaker 2: of these types of reports suggesting that this type of
27:41
Speaker 2: warfare is somehow something.
27:42
Speaker 1: Theoretical, are there and are promoted in.
27:46
Speaker 2: Order to pursue the idea in people's minds that they
27:49
Speaker 2: are still theoretical. I think if we look at what
27:51
Speaker 2: happened during COVID, if we look at the deployment of
27:54
Speaker 2: the of the behavioral insights, TEAMENT and their types of operations.
28:00
Speaker 2: Is cognitive warfare that we are experiencing. We are experiencing
28:03
Speaker 2: that every day of our lives at the moment, and
28:06
Speaker 2: NIDLE can busy accuse, can be busy accusing Russia and
28:11
Speaker 2: China of this and of doing this on our population.
28:15
Speaker 2: NIDO is doing this on its own population, and I
28:18
Speaker 2: think that is absolutely demonstrable. But we'll talk about more
28:21
Speaker 2: a little bit more about that in extra I'd like
28:23
Speaker 2: to move on then to Will calcil and his latest
28:28
Speaker 2: report on the Columba Chemerani in quest.
28:35
Speaker 8: Hello, this is Will Coles were reporting for UK column
28:37
Speaker 8: on what I believe is now the eighth day of
28:38
Speaker 8: the Ploma Chemerani in quest here at Kent and Medway
28:41
Speaker 8: Coroner's Court. Today we've seen a huge amount of evidence,
28:44
Speaker 8: with three days of testimony this week. This is a
28:47
Speaker 8: case still getting widespread mainstream media attention and I remain
28:50
Speaker 8: the only independent journalist down here.
28:52
Speaker 1: Covering the case.
28:53
Speaker 8: In all, this case breaks down to three main questions,
28:55
Speaker 8: on most of which the coroner is likely to find
28:59
Speaker 8: a of course, the final cause of Ploma Shamarani's death.
29:03
Speaker 8: B Whether Paloma had competence to make her own decisions
29:07
Speaker 8: and choose alternative therapies, which has been center of much
29:10
Speaker 8: of the mainstream media framing of the narrative and the
29:13
Speaker 8: accusation of Poloma's brother that their mother killed Paloma. And
29:18
Speaker 8: finally see what led Paloma to go down the route
29:22
Speaker 8: of alternative therapy and whether her treatment at the Mainstone
29:26
Speaker 8: Hospital under doctor Mohan was what pushed her in that direction.
29:29
Speaker 8: And I've also spoken to Simone Platt, who, despite being
29:32
Speaker 8: denied her testimony in court, has been down here observing
29:36
Speaker 8: every day and who Ploma called Auntie and saw at
29:40
Speaker 8: least every week roughly.
29:41
Speaker 1: Until her death.
29:42
Speaker 8: In terms of the final cause of Poloma's death, it's
29:44
Speaker 8: looking ever more likely that the Coronel will rule in
29:46
Speaker 8: favor of the media styinal mass leading to a blockage
29:50
Speaker 8: of the airways. We've seen accusations that adrenaline helped to
29:53
Speaker 8: spur on her death. However, the paramedics and also the
29:57
Speaker 8: air ambulance doctor testifying today made very clear that they
30:01
Speaker 8: did not believe that adrenaline was the cause of death
30:03
Speaker 8: and seemed entirely united in their approach. Despite Kate sham
30:06
Speaker 8: Rani putting forth evidence of pink frothing at the mouth,
30:10
Speaker 8: which she says is in line with an overdose of adrenaline.
30:13
Speaker 8: Much has also be made of the uniform twelve plus
30:15
Speaker 8: dose of adrenaline given to Paloma, despite a very slight weight,
30:18
Speaker 8: and the fact that this dose is uniform for all
30:20
Speaker 8: ages and body weight over twelve years old. In terms
30:23
Speaker 8: of competence, we had a shocking revelation yesterday from the
30:27
Speaker 8: coroner who said, during a very fractious moment, I have
30:30
Speaker 8: no doubt from the evidence that I've heard that Paloma
30:32
Speaker 8: had capacity, and I believe that I will be finding
30:34
Speaker 8: that in due course. We've seen overwhelming evidence in favor
30:38
Speaker 8: of Plomer's competence, whether her written statement, whether the testimony
30:42
Speaker 8: of I believe for doctors now in the court, and
30:45
Speaker 8: also the testimony of family members. I spoke to someone
30:48
Speaker 8: Plat on this matter.
30:50
Speaker 9: Paloma and I during that period of her illness, became
30:53
Speaker 9: very very close. She called me Auntie, and she confided
30:56
Speaker 9: in me, and we became very very close.
31:00
Speaker 8: And so was she confident to make her own decisions
31:02
Speaker 8: by your own estimation.
31:03
Speaker 9: Absolutely, she would research, look into things. She would look
31:11
Speaker 9: at books, she would look at internet, she'd look at
31:13
Speaker 9: research papers, She'd look at all sorts of things and
31:17
Speaker 9: did a great deal of research into her illness, her
31:20
Speaker 9: diagnosis tests, she was going to have, what her blood
31:24
Speaker 9: tests and other test meant. She was really on the ball.
31:28
Speaker 8: From this, it seems almost certain that the narrative of
31:32
Speaker 8: the mainstream media has been debunked. The question at the
31:36
Speaker 8: center of this mainstream media so seems to have been answered.
31:39
Speaker 8: In fact, it seems to have been answered so strongly
31:41
Speaker 8: that the coroner has pre announced her decision. Despite this,
31:46
Speaker 8: maintream media interest is continuing, and mainstream media organizations including
31:51
Speaker 8: the BBC, ITV and PA Media have pushed for different
31:54
Speaker 8: evidence in the case to be released to the public now.
31:57
Speaker 8: The two pieces of evidence that were considered as a
31:59
Speaker 8: fire decision today the final rulings were the nine nine
32:03
Speaker 8: to nine calls where Poloma had collapsed and Kate Shamranni
32:07
Speaker 8: was on the phone to the ambulance crew and thoroughly
32:11
Speaker 8: thoroughly distressing piece of evidence which I heard in court
32:13
Speaker 8: the other day. And also the voice note between Kate
32:17
Speaker 8: she Mranni and the ex boyfriend or boyfriend at the
32:20
Speaker 8: time and the Harris when Poloma was first ill in
32:24
Speaker 8: December twenty twenty three, in terms of the nine nine
32:27
Speaker 8: nine call, the coroner ruled that due to the right
32:29
Speaker 8: to privacy and the distressing and intimate nature of the call,
32:32
Speaker 8: that it should not be given out to the press
32:34
Speaker 8: and should not be given out to the public. I've
32:36
Speaker 8: heard this call myself and it is deeply, deeply disturbing.
32:39
Speaker 8: I saw at least one member of the court weeping
32:43
Speaker 8: in terms of voice note from December twenty twenty three
32:45
Speaker 8: with Kate she Mranni instructing the then boyfriend and A
32:48
Speaker 8: Harris to bring Paloma to her house. I don't believe
32:51
Speaker 8: this is going to be of significant note, but I
32:52
Speaker 8: believe the mainstream media will still try and capitalize on this.
32:55
Speaker 8: The final point on which we have not touched is
32:58
Speaker 8: how Paloma came to decision despite her competence, and whether
33:02
Speaker 8: Poloma was pushed into making a decision because of her
33:05
Speaker 8: treatment at the Maidstone Hospital, where there seems to be
33:08
Speaker 8: significant evidence to show that she was given treatment without
33:11
Speaker 8: her consent, both from her testimonies and that of her
33:14
Speaker 8: mother and also other family.
33:15
Speaker 1: Members and friends.
33:17
Speaker 8: Kaha Mrani has also alleged that one of the drugs
33:19
Speaker 8: given respira case is not licensed to be used as
33:21
Speaker 8: a standalone treatment, meaning poloma should have consented to chemotherapy
33:24
Speaker 8: before this drug was given. In particular, we returned to
33:27
Speaker 8: doctor Mohan, who were covered on the first day of
33:29
Speaker 8: the hearing and who left the country seemingly the next day.
33:32
Speaker 9: I think it made a massive difference. She initially wanted
33:36
Speaker 9: to go home and think about it, but when she
33:39
Speaker 9: became incredibly ill, literally within days of well within hours
33:45
Speaker 9: of reaching home after her leaving hospital, and then all
33:53
Speaker 9: sorts of things going wrong in terms of you know,
33:55
Speaker 9: hair falling out, her feeling really unwell, vomiting, really really unwell.
34:03
Speaker 9: Yet she'd been well enough to fly to Sweden and
34:06
Speaker 9: back from Sweden just days earlier. Before she'd been to
34:09
Speaker 9: Maidstone Hospital, she knew that drugs she'd been given had
34:14
Speaker 9: been misdescribed. I mean, there was a particular thing about
34:19
Speaker 9: a giving set. This is one of these bags with
34:21
Speaker 9: sayline in and there was a label on it, and
34:25
Speaker 9: she'd been told it was seline flush and it turned
34:27
Speaker 9: out it had a label on it had a drug,
34:31
Speaker 9: a medicine in it that she hadn't been told about.
34:33
Speaker 9: So she'd become very very suspicious and nervous of that
34:37
Speaker 9: hospital and didn't want to go back there.
34:40
Speaker 8: There are questions to be asked about the conduct, informed
34:44
Speaker 8: consent and the NHS and it will be interesting to
34:47
Speaker 8: see whether the Corner eventually rules on those. We have
34:51
Speaker 8: one further date for court, which is the twenty seventh
34:53
Speaker 8: of August, and we now have a provisional date for
34:55
Speaker 8: a ruling the third of September. Remain peeled. We'll continue covering.
35:00
Speaker 8: This is Will Cultural reporting for UK Column.
35:04
Speaker 2: So thanks very much to Will for that and we
35:07
Speaker 2: will keep you posted as things develop. Okay, now, if
35:11
Speaker 2: you like what the UK Column does, if you'd like
35:13
Speaker 2: to support us, please have a look at the front
35:16
Speaker 2: page of the website. There's tons of new content going
35:18
Speaker 2: on there every day. But if you look over here
35:21
Speaker 2: on the right hand side, it takes you to a
35:23
Speaker 2: page which shows you how you can support us. We
35:25
Speaker 2: do need your continued support, thank you very much. Everybody
35:28
Speaker 2: that is please do that. But if you can't support
35:30
Speaker 2: us financially, then please do share our material as widely
35:34
Speaker 2: as you possibly can. Now, as we've mentioned, UK column
35:38
Speaker 2: next on location event is Saturday the eighteenth of October
35:41
Speaker 2: in New York. Andrew Wakefield is going to be one
35:43
Speaker 2: of the main speakers at that. We're going to be
35:45
Speaker 2: announcing more speakers next week. And of course if you
35:49
Speaker 2: do pick up a ticket for this or for the
35:51
Speaker 2: live stream and livestream tickets.
35:53
Speaker 1: Are available now as well.
35:55
Speaker 2: That does give you access to Andrew Wakefield's film Protocol seven,
35:59
Speaker 2: So please to pick up those tickets as soon as
36:03
Speaker 2: you can, because there are not many left. Tonight at
36:05
Speaker 2: seven pm, Charles and I are speaking to Germ as
36:08
Speaker 2: we usually do on a Friday, so that's at seven
36:11
Speaker 2: Please have a look for that. We're looking at Empire
36:14
Speaker 2: in particular, and Sandy's interview with Peter Taylor has went
36:22
Speaker 2: out yesterday at one pm. That's on the UK Column website.
36:24
Speaker 2: And now if you haven't seen that, Vanessa, very briefly,
36:29
Speaker 2: you've been writing extensively over the last few weeks. We're
36:32
Speaker 2: creating a new section on the website called Syria Centric
36:35
Speaker 2: Regional Analysis. Just very briefly, any thoughts on that.
36:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're just going to bring together a number of
36:43
Speaker 3: regional analysts and myself included, and we'll be bringing analysis
36:48
Speaker 3: not only from Syria but very much with Syria as
36:51
Speaker 3: the hub radiating out into the entire West Asia region.
36:56
Speaker 2: Okay, super, thank you for that. Now let's move on
37:00
Speaker 2: to online safety. We've been talking about that extensively over
37:04
Speaker 2: the last few weeks, over for the last few years,
37:06
Speaker 2: but particularly in the last few weeks as the regime
37:08
Speaker 2: begins to roll out, and well, I just want to
37:12
Speaker 2: draw your attention to the Open Rights Group which has
37:16
Speaker 2: published a page entitled Blocked, which lists websites which have
37:20
Speaker 2: either shut down, or have been geo blocked, or have
37:24
Speaker 2: imposed age restrictions as a result of the Online Safety Act. Now,
37:28
Speaker 2: some of these sites won't be missed by some people
37:31
Speaker 2: because they're not that interesting, but that's neither here nor there.
37:35
Speaker 2: Many of the sites on here will be missed by people.
37:38
Speaker 1: It should be.
37:38
Speaker 2: Noted that these are all user reported, and so there
37:41
Speaker 2: may be a few which you know where it says
37:44
Speaker 2: is blocked, but which you may not find. You may
37:46
Speaker 2: not find a block in place because maybe your IP
37:48
Speaker 2: address isn't recognized as a UK address for various reasons.
37:51
Speaker 2: But nonetheless, they are sites that many have reported. And
37:56
Speaker 2: if we just run through this little it gives you
38:00
Speaker 2: an idea of how many sites that are being discussed
38:03
Speaker 2: here already and you know, lots of them. Now this
38:07
Speaker 2: is developing page and of course this is exactly the
38:11
Speaker 2: effect that the UK regime wants to see. And what
38:15
Speaker 2: I would say is that following on from Wikipedia's attempt
38:18
Speaker 2: to deal with its own problems with the legislation that
38:21
Speaker 2: I was talking about on Wednessey's news program, quite a
38:24
Speaker 2: number of people are calling on Wikipedia to effectively join
38:28
Speaker 2: the list of people that are geo blocking Wikipedia and
38:31
Speaker 2: go dark in the United Kingdom. I think the problem
38:34
Speaker 2: is that I don't think Wikipedia is trying to take
38:37
Speaker 2: any action which would undermine the Act in the way
38:40
Speaker 2: that it took its legal action. It's not in any
38:44
Speaker 2: way against the Act and principle. I think it just
38:46
Speaker 2: wants to make sure that it is okay. So I
38:49
Speaker 2: think that sadly it's unlikely that they would take that action,
38:52
Speaker 2: but frankly if they did take it, that would of
38:55
Speaker 2: course massively raise the general awareness of the situation in
38:59
Speaker 2: the post population. Now at the back of this, of course,
39:04
Speaker 2: is at the back of this is the fact that
39:07
Speaker 2: this is just the first of the Online Safety Acts
39:10
Speaker 2: provisions to be implemented, and that's age verification otherwise known
39:15
Speaker 2: as digital ID and Corey doctor O here offers an
39:20
Speaker 2: excellent overview of the situation now. The link, as with
39:24
Speaker 2: all the links, will be in the show notes. He
39:27
Speaker 2: takes apart the starmer regimes claim that it's possible to
39:30
Speaker 2: do age verification and at the same time to maintain
39:33
Speaker 2: individual privacy. And remember that this current regime sees platforms
39:39
Speaker 2: using quite a number of different so called age assurance providers,
39:43
Speaker 2: meaning that individuals wanting to use platforms are going to
39:46
Speaker 2: have to send a personal data to an ever widening
39:48
Speaker 2: range of companies. You're sharing that with well with him,
39:51
Speaker 2: because we don't actually know, and that doctor Row concludes that,
39:55
Speaker 2: to quote am a little bit here, age verification is
39:57
Speaker 2: an impossibility and possibly terrible idea with an a possibly
40:02
Speaker 2: vast array of consequences for privacy and the open web now.
40:08
Speaker 2: As the Electronic Frontier Foundation or EFF wrote in June,
40:14
Speaker 2: following a court hearing in the United States or a
40:17
Speaker 2: court ruling that no person adult or child has a
40:20
Speaker 2: First Amendment right to access speech that has obscene to
40:23
Speaker 2: minors without first submitting proof of age, they went on
40:28
Speaker 2: to say that a person who submits identifying information online
40:31
Speaker 2: can never be sure if websites will keep that information
40:35
Speaker 2: or how that information.
40:36
Speaker 1: Will be used or disclosed.
40:37
Speaker 2: This leaves users highly vulnerable to data breaches and other
40:41
Speaker 2: security harms. So the question is what's going on here
40:46
Speaker 2: and state this once again, this has got nothing to
40:48
Speaker 2: do with protecting children. It's about two things, censorship and
40:53
Speaker 2: intelligence gathering. The censorship aspect we're all familiar with, and
40:58
Speaker 2: we should be familiar with the use of social media
41:01
Speaker 2: for intelligence gathering as well, But of course that's hard
41:04
Speaker 2: if people are able to use social media relatively anonymously.
41:10
Speaker 2: It's hard to use social media as an intelligence gathering
41:13
Speaker 2: operation while we're able to use it anonymously. That is
41:17
Speaker 2: so nonetheless, we should be fully aware by now of
41:21
Speaker 2: the skill of the state spuying operation here in the UK,
41:26
Speaker 2: But for anybody in other countries in the EU or
41:29
Speaker 2: the US, they're not too far behind. So this is
41:33
Speaker 2: just one aspect of the digital prison we're not accepting
41:37
Speaker 2: as a matter of convenience. I let's just mention Karen
41:43
Speaker 2: Bradley here and this letter to her from Diane Johnson,
41:50
Speaker 2: who's the Minister of State for Policing and Crime Prevention,
41:54
Speaker 2: who said in here that Diane that Karen Bradley had
41:58
Speaker 2: asked about current plans to build police capability for using
42:01
Speaker 2: social media intelligence at force and national levels, and the
42:05
Speaker 2: fact that they were carefully considering recommendations MID and that
42:09
Speaker 2: they were talking about, in fact building a National Internet
42:13
Speaker 2: Intelligence Investigations Team as part of the National Police Coordination Center.
42:18
Speaker 2: So this is just another example of the type of infrastructure.
42:23
Speaker 1: That's been built the spy on us.
42:25
Speaker 2: But of course the key thing here is they want
42:27
Speaker 2: to be able to identify individuals that they're spying on.
42:30
Speaker 1: Now, in related.
42:31
Speaker 2: News, were all pleased. We're pleased to let you know that.
42:35
Speaker 2: I'm sure you're excited about it. That AI is going
42:38
Speaker 2: to be used to help catch help the police catch criminals.
42:43
Speaker 2: So the British regime is rolling out this next stage
42:46
Speaker 2: of its pre crime infrastructure because criminals hell bent on
42:50
Speaker 2: making others' lives and misery, they say, fast being stopped
42:54
Speaker 2: before they can strike through the cutting edge mapping technology
42:58
Speaker 2: supported by a that AI. That's according to Peter Kyle.
43:02
Speaker 2: The press release says that innovators have been tasked with
43:04
Speaker 2: developing a detailed, real time and interactive crime map that
43:09
Speaker 2: spans England and Wales and can detect, tracked and depict
43:12
Speaker 2: and predict where devastating knife crime is likely to occur,
43:16
Speaker 2: or spot early warning science VANDI social behavior before it
43:19
Speaker 2: spirals out of control, giving police the intel they need
43:22
Speaker 2: to step in and keep the public safe. They say
43:26
Speaker 2: that it will be rooted in advanced DAI that will
43:28
Speaker 2: examine how to bring together data shared between police, consuls
43:31
Speaker 2: and social services, including criminal records, previous incident locations, and
43:36
Speaker 2: behavioral patterns of known offenders. And they've announced they're going
43:40
Speaker 2: to set up something called the Concentrations of Crime Data Challenge,
43:44
Speaker 2: which will set a quotes, clear and measurable target to
43:49
Speaker 2: corporate and university teams as part of this regime's five
43:52
Speaker 2: hundred million pounds Research and Development Missions Accelerator program. So
43:58
Speaker 2: they're going to So the question is how are they
44:00
Speaker 2: going to do this. Well, they're going to build more
44:03
Speaker 2: data centers, of course. But don't worry because, as Charles
44:08
Speaker 2: reported on Wednesday, we can offset the water wasted cooling
44:12
Speaker 2: these data centers and our data prison by deleting a
44:16
Speaker 2: few emails.
44:18
Speaker 1: So there we go.
44:19
Speaker 2: If you remember what it said here, delete all the
44:20
Speaker 2: emails and pictures. As data centers require vast amounts of
44:23
Speaker 2: water to cool their systems. And then finally, on this topic,
44:28
Speaker 2: then there's been much fanfare across mainstream media sorry that
44:35
Speaker 2: pornography websites have been seeing viewing figures fall significantly since
44:39
Speaker 2: the age verification regime came into force. Now, of course,
44:42
Speaker 2: that fact itself is unverified. The data seems to be
44:46
Speaker 2: coming from a third party and doesn't seem to take
44:49
Speaker 2: into account the massive growth in VPN usage which has
44:52
Speaker 2: happened in parallel since this regime has been rolled out.
44:56
Speaker 2: So traffic appearing to come from the UK may appear
45:00
Speaker 2: to have fallen. It undoubtedly has, but traffic to these sites.
45:05
Speaker 2: The question is has it fallen across the board. I
45:07
Speaker 2: think probably not. People who used websites such as this
45:11
Speaker 2: will not stop using them. They're going to find another way,
45:13
Speaker 2: and VPNs, of course, is the most obvious choice. So anyway,
45:16
Speaker 2: we'll leave that topic there for and I and go
45:20
Speaker 2: back to international news and Vanessa. What's been going on
45:25
Speaker 2: with Iran?
45:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, interesting developments. Of course. We saw at the end
45:33
Speaker 3: of Modeler's video that she said that one of the
45:36
Speaker 3: tactics of the resistance factions in Lebanon would be to
45:39
Speaker 3: reach out to their allies in the region. And I
45:42
Speaker 3: just wanted to include this article written by a new
45:45
Speaker 3: writer for UK column very much from the region, Ibrah Imagined,
45:49
Speaker 3: who's writing about on a bi weekly basis on the
45:54
Speaker 3: situation in the region, talking about the regional disarmament of
45:59
Speaker 3: any force, whether resistance or actual military, that may present
46:04
Speaker 3: a threat to Israel now or in the next century. Basically,
46:09
Speaker 3: so there is a concerted effort by Israel to wipe
46:12
Speaker 3: out any potential threat to the security of Israel during
46:17
Speaker 3: its expansionist program. So basically what we've seen is the
46:21
Speaker 3: Iran security chief has been visiting both Iraq and Lebanon.
46:26
Speaker 3: He was in Baghdad for talks on the next phase
46:29
Speaker 3: of the resistance axis. And this is because there are
46:32
Speaker 3: moves by Washington and Israel also to disarm what is
46:36
Speaker 3: perceived to be the resistance factions in Erq itself. Nor
46:42
Speaker 3: Al Maliki, the former Prime Minister of Iraq, put out
46:45
Speaker 3: a very strong statement saying that we agreed in the
46:48
Speaker 3: meeting with Lajarani that Iran and Iraq would refuse to
46:52
Speaker 3: disarm Hezbla or the popular mobilization forces in Iraq. Of course,
46:57
Speaker 3: the PMF does come under the governance of the Iraqi military.
47:03
Speaker 3: He also said, had it not been for the PMF,
47:05
Speaker 3: of course the Americans would have swallowed Iraq, and the
47:08
Speaker 3: saying could be sad if his Bola is eradicated in Lebanon.
47:13
Speaker 3: Now in Lebanon. As a result, there's some of the
47:16
Speaker 3: statements from the Iranian foreign minister and other diplomats, members
47:22
Speaker 3: of the opposition to the resistance, in other word, those
47:25
Speaker 3: that are aligned with Israel, like Jamail demands the expulsion
47:30
Speaker 3: of the Iranian ambassador, says Tehran's guardianship is over, which
47:34
Speaker 3: is kind of extraordinary as they're accepting dictats from Israel, Washington,
47:39
Speaker 3: and Saudi Arabia. So there's a little bit of hypocrisy
47:42
Speaker 3: to put it mildly there. And then let's say what
47:46
Speaker 3: Ali Lajrani said, the new security chief from Iran, when
47:50
Speaker 3: he was in Lebanon. He was diplomatically very blunt, So
47:55
Speaker 3: he said Lebanon should be strong and independent, not take
47:59
Speaker 3: orders from across the oceans. Those who interfere in Lebanon's
48:03
Speaker 3: affairs are imposing plans and deadlines. And he's absolutely correct
48:06
Speaker 3: on this, because the deadlines for the resistance disarmament is
48:10
Speaker 3: of course coming from Israel and Washington, not necessarily from
48:15
Speaker 3: the Lebanese government. He also went on to say, in
48:18
Speaker 3: coordination with President Allen of Lebanon, Iran wishes to strengthen
48:24
Speaker 3: its relations with the Lebanese state and people at all levels.
48:27
Speaker 3: So he's making a very clear point here. I commend
48:31
Speaker 3: President Allen, sorry I misspelled that or it was spelled
48:34
Speaker 3: checked wrongly for reinforcing national unity and unifying ranks within
48:40
Speaker 3: all Lebanese sects. So while this is a very diplomatic message,
48:44
Speaker 3: I think it's palpably clear, and the head of JSBLA
48:49
Speaker 3: has also made a very clear statement yesterday on the
48:53
Speaker 3: fact that HEZBLA will resist disarmament with everything they possibly can. Sorry,
48:59
Speaker 3: just another mention of Syria centric regional analysis, which is
49:04
Speaker 3: going to be a new section on UK Column covering
49:06
Speaker 3: analysis on the region and focusing very much on the
49:10
Speaker 3: whole of West Asia. But I wanted to today look
49:14
Speaker 3: at what's been going on in Syria. There's a recent
49:17
Speaker 3: article that was published yesterday at UK Column by myself
49:21
Speaker 3: Syria prey to the globalist kabal and crony capitalist al
49:25
Speaker 3: Qaeda regime. Effectively, what we're seeing now in Syria is
49:28
Speaker 3: very much what happened in Iraq, and of course elsewhere.
49:32
Speaker 3: It's standard procedure after us UK led disintegration of a
49:37
Speaker 3: country and destruction of its sovereignty. We're seeing crony capitalism
49:42
Speaker 3: come to the fore the supply, or what we've been
49:46
Speaker 3: seeing since May through July and August are the creations
49:51
Speaker 3: of memorandums of understandings with companies that I demonstrate in
49:56
Speaker 3: the article to be very shady, many of them front
49:59
Speaker 3: comempanies or shell companies without the financial wherewithal to actually
50:04
Speaker 3: follow through on the pledges. So of course, what we're
50:07
Speaker 3: actually seeing is the attempt to bring money in through
50:12
Speaker 3: corruption and crony capitalism into Syria, which is going to
50:15
Speaker 3: line the pockets of Washington, their elected regime, which at
50:20
Speaker 3: the moment is the al Qaeda corrupt regime that has
50:24
Speaker 3: for years been siphoning off both gold and finances and
50:29
Speaker 3: wealth from inside Syria, even when it only contained or
50:33
Speaker 3: controlled id Lib. Now, of course it's being done on
50:36
Speaker 3: a much larger scale. So I just want to go
50:38
Speaker 3: into some depth. It's all in the article. People can
50:41
Speaker 3: go and read that, but just some examples from what
50:44
Speaker 3: has been going on, the companies involved, So if I
50:48
Speaker 3: could just have the slide after this one, if possible.
50:52
Speaker 3: These are a couple of the companies, so the memorandums
50:56
Speaker 3: of understandings and some of the dodgier companies that were involved.
50:59
Speaker 3: From the UA two billion apparently has been invested in
51:04
Speaker 3: the Damascus metro twenty six point five kilometers seventeen stations.
51:09
Speaker 3: One wonders why right now that people have no electricity,
51:13
Speaker 3: no water, are they being expected to celebrate the creation
51:17
Speaker 3: of an underground metro. Jordan seventeen million for a luxury
51:21
Speaker 3: hotel complex in de rezor Aleppo, twenty five million for
51:25
Speaker 3: a commercial complex. Ubaco a company from Italy that has
51:30
Speaker 3: pledged two point five billion for Damascus Towers project and
51:34
Speaker 3: polydaf recycling and sustainability project. Now just leave that on
51:38
Speaker 3: the screen for a second, if you can, Mike, because
51:41
Speaker 3: I particularly wanted to point out so the Damascus Towers project,
51:45
Speaker 3: which is the two point five billion, so that's twenty
51:49
Speaker 3: thousand apartments, twenty five floors each, sixty towers.
51:54
Speaker 2: Now.
51:54
Speaker 3: The company Uburco, which is based in Italy, was founded
51:58
Speaker 3: in April twenty twenty two with a capital of sixteen
52:01
Speaker 3: thousand euros and an annual revenue of two hundred and
52:04
Speaker 3: nine thousand, so clearly not capable of fulfilling that pledge.
52:09
Speaker 3: And then if we look at Polodaff twenty twenty one,
52:12
Speaker 3: it was a hardware company which was dissolved two years
52:15
Speaker 3: ago on the twenty fifth of July, it re established itself,
52:19
Speaker 3: claiming to be specialized in aviation. Now all of these
52:25
Speaker 3: companies are of course going to need external financing, which
52:28
Speaker 3: is where this familiar money laundering is going to come in.
52:31
Speaker 3: And I wanted to mention at the same time that
52:35
Speaker 3: while all of this is going on, this grotesque spectacle
52:39
Speaker 3: that Jolani and Tom Barrick are providing for the Syrian people.
52:42
Speaker 3: Of course, yesterday I met with refugees from Suada. Again
52:47
Speaker 3: I've written extensively about that for UK column and reported
52:50
Speaker 3: on it, the massacre led by Jolani's HTS forces and
52:56
Speaker 3: his tribal faction proxies. I met with a number of
53:00
Speaker 3: refugees Venezuelan drews that have been effectively evacuated by the
53:05
Speaker 3: Venezuela embassy here brought to Lebanon. And so while Jolani Tombarrick. Washington,
53:12
Speaker 3: Saudi Arabia, kat Turkey are providing this absolutely fraudulent spectacle
53:19
Speaker 3: of some kind of investment into a dying sovereign Syria
53:25
Speaker 3: that is going to be debt enslaved. The stories I
53:28
Speaker 3: heard of Jolani's forces were horrific and reminiscent, of course,
53:34
Speaker 3: those that I heard back in twenty twelve twenty thirteen.
53:38
Speaker 3: For example, children were seen to be carried out of
53:42
Speaker 3: the houses, including babies. They prepared boiling water. The children
53:47
Speaker 3: were murdered by putting them into the boiling water. Children
53:53
Speaker 3: were slaughtered in front of their parents if the parents
53:56
Speaker 3: didn't have the money to pay HTS. Women were abducted
54:00
Speaker 3: or raped on the spot and then murdered. The desecration
54:05
Speaker 3: of properties of tombs, of shrines, of entire villages that
54:10
Speaker 3: were raised to the ground. So while all of this
54:13
Speaker 3: is ongoing, this this unbelievable theater of bloodshed is being
54:20
Speaker 3: conducted by Washington and the UK. We can't forget that
54:23
Speaker 3: the MI six linked operatives are in the presidential palace
54:27
Speaker 3: grooming Jolani's administration to change their image for the public. Meanwhile,
54:36
Speaker 3: the bloodshed continues in Syria. People have no money, they're
54:40
Speaker 3: living through the most desperate poverty that they've ever seen,
54:44
Speaker 3: and corruption now is within a shadow state. There is
54:49
Speaker 3: no accountability whatsoever for Jolani's regime, and of course they're
54:53
Speaker 3: siphoning out the wealth because they know that they're not
54:57
Speaker 3: going to be permanent. So Syria is a effectively being
55:01
Speaker 3: raped and pillaged on every single level.
55:07
Speaker 2: Vanessa, I can't say thank you for that report because
55:10
Speaker 2: that was quite harrowing in many ways, but you know,
55:14
Speaker 2: I just want to I'd just like to address something
55:16
Speaker 2: that was being said in the chat box there while
55:19
Speaker 2: you were speaking, and that was that somebody was saying, well,
55:22
Speaker 2: this is international news, this is not British, it's the
55:25
Speaker 2: UK column. Why aren't you covering more British stuff? And
55:27
Speaker 2: my point, Fanessa, is I'd be interested in your thoughts
55:30
Speaker 2: on this.
55:31
Speaker 1: This is British.
55:32
Speaker 2: News because these are puppets of the British regime and
55:36
Speaker 2: therefore this is our responsibility in my opinion, and I
55:41
Speaker 2: just wanted to get your thoughts on that.
55:45
Speaker 5: Well.
55:45
Speaker 3: I find it rather just depressing that someone from Britain
55:49
Speaker 3: is saying, well, this isn't British news when the British
55:51
Speaker 3: regime is responsible for what is now happening in the region,
55:56
Speaker 3: and has been responsible for more than a century. I
56:00
Speaker 3: think we need to wake up to the fact that
56:01
Speaker 3: our regime in Britain is utterly irresponsible for the bloodshed
56:04
Speaker 3: that is now happening, and that bloodshed is not going
56:07
Speaker 3: to be contained in Syria because the British are sponsoring
56:11
Speaker 3: the tech theory elements that are conducting these are tro
56:14
Speaker 3: these a trustees against the Syrian people. And where are
56:17
Speaker 3: these tach theory is going to go in the end,
56:20
Speaker 3: where are they going to go? They're going to come
56:22
Speaker 3: back to the UK, to the EU, to the US
56:25
Speaker 3: and you'll be facing them. So it is a British problem.
56:28
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I mean I don't think it was a
56:32
Speaker 2: suggestion that wasn't Well anyway, we'll talk about more in
56:35
Speaker 2: extra because that is a really it is a really
56:39
Speaker 2: interesting and important point to make. So, you know, thanks
56:44
Speaker 2: to thanks for the comment, because it's going to start
56:47
Speaker 2: an interesting conversation. But ayway, let's let's finish off today
56:51
Speaker 2: coming back to Mark then and Mark some health related news.
56:58
Speaker 7: Absolutely, Mike, if I may make a suggestion, we can
57:02
Speaker 7: show one of the two videos now and the other
57:04
Speaker 7: one an extra unless you want to do differently. But
57:07
Speaker 7: this first slide that I got here is from a
57:10
Speaker 7: kind of centrist political organization called veer in Weir in Switzerland.
57:16
Speaker 7: The headline is from their website interview unnoticed by the public,
57:21
Speaker 7: but it's getting more protests. Switzerland is operating the only
57:25
Speaker 7: who Who biolaboratory, and I think from there we can
57:30
Speaker 7: go with the first primary video that explains the basis
57:33
Speaker 7: of this and what people are protesting. It has to
57:37
Speaker 7: do with the Spece laboratory and people's perceptions of what
57:42
Speaker 7: they're doing there. So let's show that first video.
57:44
Speaker 10: If we can do that, labligue in Switzerland will be
57:51
Speaker 10: a major problem, not just here in Switzerland but around
57:55
Speaker 10: the world. The bioha BSL Lab four here INCHP It's
58:00
Speaker 10: canton Byrne is being facilitated as a dual used gain
58:03
Speaker 10: of function facility for the Wealth Health Organization, and there
58:09
Speaker 10: is no oversp in the Swiss government, who has the oversight,
58:13
Speaker 10: who knows what's going on up there. They don't have
58:16
Speaker 10: any transparency. So people are awakening and they want to
58:20
Speaker 10: know what's going on in that lab. My name is
58:23
Speaker 10: Christian Osch. I'm the president of the Swiss Association WEIR.
58:28
Speaker 10: I grow up here in the hills and the Bernese overland.
58:32
Speaker 10: We're not out at touch. We're really connected to nature
58:35
Speaker 10: and that makes us realize how much freedom really means
58:39
Speaker 10: to us, and we do everything possible to maintain our freedom,
58:42
Speaker 10: our sovereignty and especially our neutrality of Switzerland. The Swiss
58:48
Speaker 10: government is now allowing bioweapons on Swiss soil, and when
58:53
Speaker 10: more people find out the beautiful Swiss country, the Swiss flag,
58:59
Speaker 10: the Swiss chop, but the Swiss cheese, it's extremely naive.
59:03
Speaker 10: Because Switzerland has been occupied. It acts like the operations
59:07
Speaker 10: center for a lot of the wrongdoings worldwide, and it
59:11
Speaker 10: is the Swiss Federal Council that is responsible for what's
59:15
Speaker 10: happening here in Switzerland, with obviously the diplomatic community for
59:19
Speaker 10: all these organizations that they're causing a lot of havoc.
59:22
Speaker 10: Right now, I will say it's evil and the Swiss
59:25
Speaker 10: government needs to stop the allowance for this to continue
59:30
Speaker 10: on here in Switzerland. I believe that we need to
59:34
Speaker 10: revoke diplomatic immunity for the World Health Organization and we
59:38
Speaker 10: need to invoke the spirit of the Swiss people for sovereignty,
59:43
Speaker 10: neutrality and freedom very interesting.
59:52
Speaker 7: Of course, it's worth noting, Mike that there are different
59:54
Speaker 7: schools of thought and gain a function. Some consider viruses
59:58
Speaker 7: to be in just shaff, biological chaff, you might say.
1:00:04
Speaker 7: Others question the very existence of viruses and say bacterial
1:00:08
Speaker 7: agents are more of a threat. At any rate, there's
1:00:12
Speaker 7: considerable concern among the Swiss people. The other video has
1:00:16
Speaker 7: to do with what Telsey Gabbard has to say about
1:00:19
Speaker 7: the broader health situation with regards to some of this,
1:00:23
Speaker 7: and I think I can basically conclude today and we
1:00:26
Speaker 7: can carry on into extra a little if we can.
1:00:29
Speaker 7: Let's remind ourselves too that and we can show the
1:00:32
Speaker 7: slide if you'd like, Mike, that Exercise Pegasus is getting
1:00:35
Speaker 7: pretty imminent. Here a Tier one exercise to take place
1:00:39
Speaker 7: between September and November this year. One thing that's mentioned
1:00:43
Speaker 7: in this slide that I didn't mention three weeks ago
1:00:45
Speaker 7: when I first reported on exercise Pegasus and will it
1:00:49
Speaker 7: mirror exercise sickness. I believe that was before the COVID pandemic.
1:00:55
Speaker 7: There's a local resilience forum, several local resilience forums, and
1:01:00
Speaker 7: I believe the next slide after this mentions that and
1:01:04
Speaker 7: the resilience forums the listing, and we can put this
1:01:07
Speaker 7: in the show notes. The listing provides lots of email addresses,
1:01:11
Speaker 7: and the resilience forums are made up of local authorities,
1:01:15
Speaker 7: emergency services, local public services, the Environment Agency, so it
1:01:20
Speaker 7: provides a lot of contacts and email addresses at this website,
1:01:24
Speaker 7: a UK government website that would enable concerned citizens who
1:01:28
Speaker 7: watch UK column to contact these people and get involved
1:01:32
Speaker 7: and ask lots of questions. That's the most important thing
1:01:34
Speaker 7: at this point. And we can talk later about a
1:01:37
Speaker 7: special designation that the UK got from the WHO that
1:01:42
Speaker 7: facilitates exercise Pegasus in my opinion and related matters. But
1:01:48
Speaker 7: at any rate, Mike.
1:01:49
Speaker 2: Marco, go ahead and mention this because I think this
1:01:52
Speaker 2: is important, So go ahead and tell us a little
1:01:54
Speaker 2: bit more about this.
1:01:55
Speaker 7: Yeah, this just came up. On August seventh, the WHO
1:01:59
Speaker 7: official designated not only Health Canada and not only a
1:02:03
Speaker 7: ministry in Japan Health, Labor and Welfare, but also the
1:02:07
Speaker 7: UK's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency or MHRA as
1:02:14
Speaker 7: WHO Listed Authorities WLAS World Health Organization Listed Authorities, a
1:02:20
Speaker 7: status granted to national authorities that meet the highest international
1:02:23
Speaker 7: regulatory standards for medical products. With these latest designations, the
1:02:28
Speaker 7: WHO expands the growing list of these wlas, now involving
1:02:33
Speaker 7: thirty nine agencies across the world supporting faster and broader
1:02:36
Speaker 7: access to quality assured medical products, particularly in low and
1:02:40
Speaker 7: middle income countries. What that really means is they want
1:02:43
Speaker 7: to make sure that any country, rich or poor, especially
1:02:47
Speaker 7: poorer ones, are markets for vaccines and mRNA technology mRNA injections,
1:02:55
Speaker 7: which goes along with what James Ruguski has been saying,
1:02:58
Speaker 7: you know, to get access worldwide and established regional centers
1:03:03
Speaker 7: worldwide to make sure that no arm is left unjabbed,
1:03:08
Speaker 7: you might say, if possible, when they possibly declare the
1:03:11
Speaker 7: next pandemic and when you look at Exercise Pegasus and
1:03:16
Speaker 7: precedents to that and the president in the US to
1:03:19
Speaker 7: the COVID pandemic, which is event two one, will these
1:03:22
Speaker 7: drills become real and then would another crackdown ensue and
1:03:26
Speaker 7: what those crack would those crackdowns be even worse than before.
1:03:30
Speaker 7: So this is the time to be super vigilant in
1:03:32
Speaker 7: the UK and beyond. So Mark Glad should do it
1:03:35
Speaker 7: for now.
1:03:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you very much for that. Mark, thank you,
1:03:38
Speaker 2: and thank you to Vanessa. We got to leave the
1:03:40
Speaker 2: news program there for today. Join us if your UK
1:03:44
Speaker 2: called the member for some UK called News Extra in
1:03:47
Speaker 2: a couple of minutes. But I keep totally confused by
1:03:51
Speaker 2: the fact that Vanessa's on today because Patrick and Vanessa
1:03:54
Speaker 2: swapped Patrick Goos's Beautiful Days festival this week. So it
1:04:00
Speaker 2: is Friday, and I hope everyone has a great weekend.
1:04:02
Speaker 2: Join us for Extra if you can, but otherwise we'll
1:04:04
Speaker 2: see you one pm as usual on Monday.
1:04:07
Speaker 1: See you then,
