Good afternoon. It's Friday the 7th of November
0:11
2025, just after 1:00. Welcome to UK called News.
0:14
I'm your host Mike Robinson and joining me by video link today
0:16
are Charles Mallett and Mark Anderson.
0:19
Welcome to the program both. Now, later in the program, we're
0:22
going to be looking at facial recognition and so-called
0:25
talking street signs in the UK, calls to further tackle
0:29
disinformation internationally and hysteria over raw milk and
0:33
beef, but we'll be talking about that a little bit later.
0:36
We're going to begin with COP 30, which I suppose in some
0:39
respects is a related topic. But anyway, Agenda 2030 was
0:43
trending on X today and Darren of Plymouth here in his ex post
0:48
sums things up pretty well. The worst people on the planet,
0:51
he says, have travelled to Brazil and private jets to
0:54
discuss how they can stop us plebs from ever doing the same.
0:58
Climate change is a scam. Well, that's what he said.
1:01
But let's have a look at a couple of the worst people, as
1:05
he put it. The time for partnership.
1:13
Protection and progress is now. We know what is at stake.
1:18
We know what must be done, and we know that no country, no
1:22
community, no individual can do it alone.
1:25
Let us use these inspiring surroundings here in the heart
1:28
of the Amazon to rise to meet this moment, not with
1:31
hesitation, but with courage. Let us honour the leadership of
1:36
those who have long protected the planet, Indigenous peoples
1:40
and local communities and walk forwards together.
1:44
This here at COP 30 is our moment.
1:48
Let us not waste it. Our children and grandchildren
1:52
are watching and hoping. So Prince William there, the
2:03
father, the the the son, following in the footsteps of
2:06
the father. Now, in February this year was
2:08
the deadline for countries to submit their updated national
2:12
climate plans. But out of the 197 countries,
2:15
only 13 met that initial deadline.
2:17
The UK was one of them. 64 countries have now submitted
2:21
their their plans in time for the conference.
2:24
But countries which the complaints are off the scale,
2:29
countries representing 70% of what are described as global
2:33
emissions, have not made their plans public at this point.
2:37
So that would be the reason for all the whining about the United
2:40
States, China and India and the media over the last day or two.
2:44
And The upshot of all this, Starmer says, is that consensus
2:48
is gone. Many will view that as a
2:50
positive development. But whether or not we consider
2:53
that positive, what we can say is that this is perhaps yet
2:57
another explanation for why there seems to be so much panic
3:00
in Western elites in particular, and why we're staring down the
3:03
barrel of ever more chaos. Charles, I don't know if you've
3:07
got thoughts on that. Yeah, Well, I think good
3:11
afternoon, Mike. And and indeed everybody else.
3:14
Yes. First of all, with St.
3:16
Prince William, there's sort of echoes of 1970 and Prince
3:18
Charles as he then was being brought into this arena,
3:21
basically telling everybody that they're going to have to pay for
3:24
the decisions that he and those surrounding him are going to
3:27
make. And I think exactly what you
3:29
described, you know, the the whinging that goes on about
3:32
countries supposedly not meeting targets that they probably never
3:35
even set themselves in the 1st place.
3:37
A lot of this is actually consolidated into a document
3:40
that the UN Environment Programme has released just this
3:47
week, and they of course base an awful lot of it on modelling.
3:52
It's called Off Target, which is about right.
3:55
Certainly one might hope that the plans are off target, but I
4:00
think that that might be more read into the the title of the
4:03
report itself. And they they predicate
4:05
absolutely everything on so-called modelling and they're
4:08
talking about limiting overshoot to .3 of a degree Celsius.
4:13
So I think, you know, there is a lot to think about with this.
4:16
And the other thing that I would go back to in terms of the very
4:20
sketchy science that's supposed to underpin all this is the
4:23
graph that I have shown before, and we'll continue to do so from
4:27
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
4:31
showing the levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide in
4:35
parts per million over the course of a five year period.
4:38
I mean, this graph does actually go back considerably longer than
4:41
that, but but at this scale, it articulates exactly that.
4:45
The levels of carbon dioxide go up and down in a very, very
4:48
regular pattern every year. Now how can one explain that if
4:53
you're basing the whole climate change model on anthropogenic or
4:57
man made emissions? And I think my contention is
5:01
that you simply cannot do that. Now of course the relationship
5:04
between carbon dioxide and temperature is or maybe linked,
5:09
but just not the way in which it's being explained.
5:11
This of course will be well hidden at COP 30, but I think
5:14
the the messaging that's been going on around the fringes is
5:18
interesting. China and India are obviously
5:21
going in for some Flack, but I mean China, if there's any
5:24
sincerity about it, hasn't pledged to get to net zero until
5:28
2060 and India not till 2070. Absolutely no.
5:33
A lot of the, the pushback on on carp and so on has, you know,
5:38
expressed sentiments very similar to Darren and Plymouth
5:40
at the beginning there. But I noticed a lot of the
5:44
commentary attempting to, to present this as being some kind
5:48
of left, right thing. So for example, one person was
5:51
tweeting out John Kerry and and talking about the number of cars
5:56
and houses and so on that that John Kerry has and saying, of
6:00
course this is a leftist attitude, but that's in a sense
6:05
falling into the trap. It's it's absolutely falling
6:10
into the trap. Of course it is.
6:12
I mean, ultimately, like with all these issues where there is
6:14
supposedly a division between left and right, the fundamental
6:16
truth is that everybody's been lied to.
6:18
So in picking what you consider to be a side, you really are
6:21
falling into exactly that trap. I think what is interesting is
6:25
the way in which the so-called climate lobby has aligned itself
6:29
on the Israel Palestine issue. And that that has absolutely
6:32
muddied the waters in terms of people deciding whether they
6:36
really are in the right camp or not.
6:38
And it just, it just goes to show how people are manipulated
6:41
because there there appears to be this requirement to adhere to
6:46
the group that you sort of originally belonged to.
6:48
And I think that's all. Been very confused by this.
6:51
Indeed, thanks for that, Charles.
6:53
Now, Mark, let's come welcome you to the programme and related
6:58
in a in a sense we're going to have a look at the China's
7:02
concept paper on global governance.
7:07
Indeed, good day everyone. I was looking at the recent
7:10
Asian and APEC economic summits that just wound up all the
7:14
dealing, and I came across the Global Governance Initiative.
7:19
And on the 24th of September, not with a great amount of
7:24
fanfare, the UN held a climate summit.
7:27
And at that summit, Zi Jinping, the leader of China, gave a
7:31
presentation on this Global Governance Initiative, or GGI.
7:36
And this first slide shows it's right from the Ministry of
7:38
Foreign Affairs, People's Republic of China. 80 years ago,
7:42
based on the bitter lessons of the two world wars, the
7:45
international community decided to establish the UN, commencing
7:48
a brand new practice in global governance, Zi told the climate
7:53
summit audience. GGI is designed to synchronize
7:56
with several other far reaching plans, including China's Global
8:00
Development, Security and Civilization Initiative.
8:04
So there's four legs to the stool in this basically.
8:08
Now moving on from there, I'll explain it a little further and
8:11
then we can analyze it. The global governance initiative
8:16
and the underpinning of it is the basic norms of international
8:18
relations based on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter
8:21
have made historic contributions, they say, to
8:24
maintaining World Peace and development emphasis here.
8:27
But the current international landscape is undergoing changes
8:30
and turbulence. The UN and multilateralism are
8:33
being challenged. The deficit in global governance
8:36
continues to grow. A deficit in global governance.
8:40
So at face value, at least, it seems like China's leader is
8:44
very concerned that globalism is losing its stick.
8:47
It's it doesn't have any traction anymore.
8:50
And that's that. Again, on the surface, that
8:53
seems to be what he's saying. And the China, especially based
8:57
on the climate issue, needs to take the lead to be the pace
9:00
guard, to be the tip of the spear to make sure the Paris
9:04
climate agreement happens and gets implemented.
9:07
This is the way that China is talking now.
9:10
We have a quote from a Chinese commentator.
9:12
In fact, a couple quotes, a Mr. Pan Dang.
9:15
Oh, wait, wait, we have this. I'm sorry.
9:17
We, we do have one other slide that explains a little more of
9:20
the planks of this. I beg your pardon?
9:22
Global governance initiative, international institutions,
9:25
China is saying have 3 deficiencies.
9:29
First, serious under representation of the global S
9:32
2nd, erosion of authoritativeness.
9:35
The purposes and principles of the UN Charter have not been
9:38
effectively observed. Again, they beat.
9:40
They think globalism is weakening.
9:42
Things are not getting implemented.
9:43
They're going to die in the vine unless somebody intervenes.
9:46
China's saying it wants to be that intervention.
9:50
Third, urgent need for greater effectiveness.
9:52
The implementation of the UN 20-30 Agenda for Sustainable
9:56
Development is seriously lagging behind, with the main issues
10:00
being climate change in the digital divide.
10:03
Of course, that includes the 17 sustainable development goals.
10:08
China is all in on that, at least rhetorically speaking.
10:12
That's what they're saying. Now, moving on, we do have that
10:16
commentator who commented for China diplomacy, Pan Deng, and
10:21
he had this to say. At a time when multilateralism
10:24
is challenged and global goals implementation is lagging, China
10:27
is framing its climate policy as a case study on how to translate
10:32
vision into action. So they they really want to make
10:35
this tangible. And the GGI content paper, Mr.
10:39
Deng went on to say, notes that the UN 2030 agendas
10:42
implementation is seriously lagging behind.
10:45
China's climate strategy appears to be a direct answer to this
10:49
challenge. So at least, at least
10:53
rhetorically, at least, what China's leadership is having to
10:55
say, Mike, this is what's coming out.
10:58
China wants to kind of intervene and really be at the front of
11:02
the vanguard to try and implement what it sees as a
11:06
lagging global governance agenda.
11:08
Now back to you. Yeah.
11:10
Well, look, Mark, what I would say about that is I think it's
11:12
important that we don't sort of project our own agendas onto
11:18
what China and the global S are thinking and doing with respect
11:22
to to the global goals and so on.
11:24
I think we can talk about this an extra a lot more, but I think
11:27
that we've got to always keep in mind that the global goals have
11:32
represent different things to between the so-called first
11:35
world countries who are, you know, using them as a mechanism
11:39
of control and technocracy mainly.
11:43
And the global S that is actually mainly still focused on
11:47
whether they've got food to eat and whether they are providing
11:51
educations and so on. So, so, and I think it's very
11:55
important that we always look at what countries are doing.
11:58
So, you know, China and India are being censured at the moment
12:01
by the COP 30 crowd for not not cooperating to the degree that
12:08
is expected by Western ours in particular.
12:12
And they, they are continuing as you know to, to build
12:18
infrastructure and build go far infrastructure and in some cases
12:23
which is absolutely goes against the the sort of net zero policy
12:28
that we hear about from our own governments.
12:31
So, Charles, have you got any thoughts on this?
12:35
Yeah. Well, I think it just comes down
12:36
to pragmatism. I mean, you think of one of the
12:39
major issues, of course, that has dominated the headlines
12:43
amongst these countries this year has been Trump's sort of
12:46
pinball approach to tariffs and how to secure trade deals.
12:49
Now, if that means that you have to say you're going to do
12:52
something to conform to a particular, a sort of an
12:56
apparent ideological goal that's been set out as as part of a
12:58
sort of globalist policy in order to secure a trade deal,
13:01
then then you'll do that. I mean, like you say, it's, it's
13:04
the actions that count and not the words.
13:05
Whether or not they do actually go through and fulfil any of
13:08
these obligations or sort of declarations, it remains to be
13:12
seen, seems extremely unlikely. But I think just on a pragmatic
13:15
level, to say that you're going to to do it to appear to be one
13:19
of the club it is, is both politically and and economically
13:23
expedient. Any final thoughts, Mark?
13:28
Yeah, that, that's very good perspective.
13:31
China is possibly using a a kind of tactical thing here at
13:37
Dialectical process to secure what it wants to say, what it
13:41
needs to say to secure the deals in the best way it can.
13:45
Trump supposedly tone down some of the tariffs against China
13:49
when he met October 30th with Xi Jinping in Korea as they wound
13:55
up as Trump wound up this 22 part summit, ASEAN and APEC.
13:59
So yeah, this kind of Wheeling and dealing and the compromise
14:02
involved makes perfect sense. OK.
14:05
Thank you, Charles. Let's move on then to the UK and
14:10
what's the latest on the facial recognition roll out?
14:15
Well, we'll get to that, but but via fireworks, which of course
14:19
is, well fireworks certainly a feature of this time of year
14:22
over this week and this weekend. And alongside that sort of the
14:27
predictable complaints about noise entirely justified in some
14:31
situations, but in a, in a debate in the in the Commons the
14:34
other day. So Alan Campbell MP had this to
14:37
say about fireworks, or at least he used fireworks to speak about
14:42
the Crime and Policing Bill. Just going through the Houses of
14:44
Parliament the minute saying that our Crime and policing
14:46
Bill, which is currently in the Lords, will give the police
14:49
greater powers to get persistent antisocial offenders off our
14:52
streets whatever the time of year.
14:54
Now, the reason he said that is because there is specific
14:56
provision within the bill as it stands about fireworks.
14:59
But the point to be drawn out of this is it's terrifically
15:02
subjective as to what exactly constitutes antisocial behaviour
15:07
and who gets to decide that. But to continue on the sort of
15:10
Home Affairs theme and indeed the Crime and Policing Bill, we
15:14
look at the way the government's effectively selling it to us,
15:16
which is with an announcement just this week about child
15:20
prostitution convictions being expunged.
15:22
And they're putting this forward as a new story in order to
15:25
divert attention from the other things that are contained within
15:27
the child, within the Crime and Policing Bill.
15:30
But essentially this goes back to what may know and indeed at
15:33
the time should have been regarded as completely wrongful
15:36
convictions of people who were vulnerable, underage, pushed
15:39
into prostitution and ended up being convicted.
15:42
But that's to be done away with by the Crime and Policing Bill.
15:45
What that hides is some of the other things that are in the
15:48
bill, and we're just going to have a look at a couple of
15:50
things in order to articulate what I mean by that.
15:52
The first of these which I've spoken about before are respect
15:55
orders and again we get to the subjectivity of it because they,
15:58
they, they are contingent upon the court being satisfied on the
16:03
balance of probabilities that the respondent has engaged in or
16:08
threatens to engage in antisocial behaviour.
16:11
So straight away thought crime. But in actual fact, when we
16:14
consider it not actually crime at all, antisocial behaviour in
16:17
itself does not constitute crime.
16:19
However, once a respect order has been slapped down upon
16:23
somebody so they they may be either prohibited from or
16:27
mandated to conduct certain behaviours, we are then in a
16:32
position where people can be criminalised for not adhering to
16:35
the respect order itself. And the other thing which does
16:38
pertain specifically to facial recognition, which I'll come
16:41
onto is the the so-called offence of concealing an your
16:45
identity. Now the the two elements to this
16:50
which are requisite are that it must happen in a public place,
16:53
that is, that is in a locality designated, and I've abbreviated
16:57
that. But basically police may decide
17:00
regardless of what anybody on the ground might be intending,
17:04
but they may decide whether or not people in an area constitute
17:08
A protest. If they do decide that, they
17:11
designate it as an area and therefore it it becomes an
17:14
offence to cover your face in that situation.
17:18
And indeed the second part of it fairly obvious, but it says
17:21
using an item that conceals their identity or another
17:25
person's identity. Now why would that be?
17:27
Well, we'll come on to that via the Home Office.
17:30
And indeed, the way the Home Office is putting out the
17:33
rhetoric about how it's clamping down on illegal immigration and
17:37
they're talking about immigration enforcement with a
17:40
whole load of announcements. They're putting out on on
17:42
Twitter, just a bit of a slideshow of those at the
17:45
moment. But the, the significant thing
17:47
that comes out of this, which again is a document that's come
17:50
out this week, is the Immigration Enforcement Live
17:54
Facial Ricket recognition policy document.
17:57
And contained within that is a summary of what they're aiming
18:00
to do, which is to say that immigration enforcement with
18:03
Border Force and police partners will run an overt time limited
18:08
live facial recognition proof of concept as Auk port in late 2025
18:14
focused on identifying and locating persons returning in
18:18
breach of a deportation order for law enforcement purposes.
18:22
Now they aim in in that text to be explicit that it's concerned
18:28
only with immigration and people who are reaching deportation
18:32
orders. But actually there might be
18:34
rather more to it than that. Now we're just going to look at
18:37
the legal basis for this because the document produced at the
18:40
same time that the legal mandate.
18:41
And I think the key bit of text that drops out of this is that
18:44
in order to use live facial recognition, immigration
18:47
enforcement will rely upon implied powers from the
18:51
Immigration Act 1971. So in effect, there is no legal
18:54
mandate for it. That's written down in law.
18:56
They are saying that the Act of 1971 grants them the powers they
19:00
need in order to do this. And just to go into what they
19:04
say, the primary aim is that they're suggesting that the
19:07
primary aim will be a law enforcement purpose.
19:10
Now inherent in that is the suggestion that there is a
19:14
secondary or indeed tertiary aim.
19:16
Now, they don't articulate exactly what that is and that's
19:19
why it bears scrutiny that we're going to give it now, which is
19:23
going to, of course, the equality impact assessment.
19:26
No government document is complete without one of these
19:29
and in that they say that live facial recognition technology
19:33
uses biometric data to identify or locate individuals of
19:37
interest. It does.
19:38
It does this by making a biometric comparison between
19:41
subjects in the cameras field of vision and a pre loaded database
19:45
of persons who are of interest. Now that takes us right back to
19:49
the subjective nature of the idea of antisocial behaviour as
19:54
it's put forward in the Crime and Policing Bill.
19:56
And indeed therefore who might be considered to be a person of
20:00
interest, especially when we consider that saying the primary
20:03
aim of this facial recognition proof of concept at a port.
20:08
Of course, there may well be other elements to this trial run
20:13
that are going to pertain to more widespread use of facial
20:17
recognition. And we've seen with the
20:19
suggestion of digital ID that it would be mandated as a a method
20:23
of combating illegal migration. How many things can effectively
20:26
be hung on this notion that. That legal or sorry, illegal
20:31
migration is the biggest nut that needs to be cracked in this
20:34
country. And I'll just close this off by
20:39
by pointing you toward the Information Commissioner's
20:41
Office and the method by which, first of all, you can have your
20:45
information scrubbed off the system, or indeed the system can
20:50
be clogged up by submitting what are called subject access
20:53
requests. And there's there'll be a link
20:55
to this in the show notes. And and I think really this is
20:59
a, you know, something that does need to be taken very seriously,
21:01
but it does need to be fought. And I, you know, it would appear
21:05
to be the case. The system absolutely can be
21:07
overwhelmed if enough people push back against it by
21:10
demanding that their data is released.
21:12
I mean, Mike, I don't know if you've got any thoughts on that
21:14
particular issue. Well, I mean, taking your, your
21:18
point about the how long, how many times they can flog the
21:21
same horse with, with the migrant issue.
21:25
Just on, on the BB CS PM programme last night as I was
21:29
driving home, Evan Davis strikes again because he was, he, he was
21:34
shocked by the fact that two guys had been accidentally
21:36
released from, from prison, that one of them was migrant who had
21:40
overstayed his welcome, who has now actually been rearrested by
21:44
the way. But Evan Davis''s response was,
21:46
or maybe we need some digital ID for, for prisoners.
21:50
And, and so, you know, this, this, it's, it's quite
21:54
incredible how every, every opportunity they get, we, we are
21:58
pushing this, this agenda. But look, let's, let's just move
22:01
on with this topic. And, and in a related issue,
22:05
then we have this from the Environment Agency and Kent
22:09
County Council, because they've launched what they're describing
22:13
as interactive signage across Folkestone to help residents and
22:16
business prepare for flash flooding.
22:19
They say that flash flooding is dangerous and can happen very
22:21
quickly and with stating effects, and knowing what to do
22:25
in a flood can significantly reduce the risk to life,
22:27
property and possessions because we've had major deaths in this
22:32
country, haven't we, from flash flooding over the last 20 years?
22:35
But anyway, the signs are provided by this organization,
22:39
Hello Lamppost, and they describe this as a two way
22:43
communication platform accessible via a mobile phone.
22:46
Now they were calling them. They were calling them talking
22:51
signs. They don't actually talk.
22:52
Actually, it turns out you've got a you've got to use your
22:54
mobile phone. It's a bit like that AI thing
22:57
that we were talking about a couple of weeks ago.
23:00
And so basically you scan the QR code and that then allows you to
23:05
take part in an AI conversation with, with the website or
23:10
whatever it is that that that is is.
23:12
But if we put that that that graphic back on screen again for
23:16
a second, I just want to sort of look at the countries that this
23:19
a particular organization is active in, so Canada, United
23:22
States, United Kingdom, Sweden, France, Kazakhstan, India,
23:26
Japan, Singapore and I think Australia as well.
23:30
So so hello lamp post. Keep an eye out for that and
23:35
make sure you scan all those QR codes and get involved in the AI
23:38
conversation as often as you possibly can.
23:42
I hope everybody recognises that that Charles that comment was
23:46
dripping in sarcasm. Yes, I, I would imagine that
23:51
they probably do, but I'm, I'm just thinking there's going to
23:54
be quite a sort of vector when we get told that there's not
23:57
enough energy to use the lamp post because it's all gone to
24:00
AI. Or indeed, the lamp post has got
24:02
so many surveillance cameras on them.
24:04
They have either slapped or been cut down by the blade runners.
24:06
So it's going to be interesting, an interesting one to see it
24:09
play out. Yes, indeed.
24:10
OK, let's let's move on. Thank you Charles, let's move on
24:15
then. If you like what the UK column
24:16
does, we do need your ongoing financial support.
24:19
If you can possibly help us out financially, please click on the
24:23
button on the front page of the UK column website.
24:26
We do, as I say, need your support.
24:27
Thanks to everybody that is. But if you can't support us
24:31
financially, then please do share this programme or anything
24:34
else you find on the On the UK column website with as many
24:38
people as possible. Now tonight at 7:00 PM, Jeremy
24:44
speaking to to me and to Charles for the another episode of
24:48
weekly banter at 7:00 PM tonight.
24:50
Don't miss it. And then at 9:00 PM, Carlsa is
24:54
speaking to a westerner who lives in China who is has cycled
25:00
5000 kilometres across Xinjiang. This is quite a discussion and
25:05
please join him at 9 for that. Now yesterday, Neil Oliver was
25:09
speaking to Sandy Adams and that discussion is now on the UK
25:13
column website as on demand version.
25:16
If you haven't seen it, it's an interesting conversation.
25:19
Do the do share it if you can as well.
25:22
And a new article on the UK column website today from Doctor
25:26
Marwa Osmond. And this is entitled Golden
25:29
Lines, the UAE, Sudan's blood gold and China's quad
25:32
facilitation. This is another challenging
25:36
conversation, particularly for people that are pro bricks for
25:42
sure. But it's something that we do
25:44
need to talk a little bit more about.
25:47
And on Sunday at 77 PM, Part 3 of 1000 words, including the
25:54
reveal of the picture. Final reveal of the picture is
25:57
going to be for members only on the UK column website.
26:00
That's part three with James Delingpole.
26:03
So join us for that. We have two digital ID events
26:07
going on that we want to talk about. 1 is in Crook in
26:10
Marketplace on Saturday it starts at 12:30 and Diane
26:14
Rasmussen will be speaking one of the speakers there.
26:16
And then on Saturday as well at 12:00 PM the usual Glasgow
26:23
Digital ID demonstration will be taking place at the bottom of
26:25
Jabaka Street by the River Clyde near the Crystal Palace pub in
26:28
Central Station. Do go and support everybody
26:31
that's involved in those campaigns if you possibly can.
26:35
OK, let's move on to the issue of disinformation.
26:39
And well, Letitia Lunen, who is from the UK mission to the
26:45
United Nations, gave a speech to the UN 4th Committee on
26:49
Information Integrity a couple of days ago.
26:51
Now, this is the kind of thing that we would generally give a
26:54
good ignoring to, but in this case she did a fairly good job
26:57
of summarising the disinformation industrial
27:00
complex which the UK imposes on its own population and which the
27:04
UK wants to see exported to all nations.
27:07
So I thought we would just look through a couple of the things
27:10
that she had to say. So first of all, she said for
27:13
the world to come together to tackle global challenges, we
27:16
rely on accurate information. There is no hope for peace if
27:20
the facts of conflict are obscured.
27:22
So let's just translate that. So there's no hope that the UK
27:26
will continue to to, well, stop fermenting wars.
27:30
And that's unless we can get control of the narrative.
27:33
Sorry. They're saying that that they
27:35
won't continue fermenting the wars unless they're going to
27:38
continue to get control of the narrative.
27:42
They can mess that up quite badly.
27:43
But anyway, you get the point. She then went on to say that
27:46
member states have a responsibility to protect the
27:48
integrity of the United Nations as a source of trusted
27:51
information. And she then complained bitterly
27:55
about Russia claiming that Russia used the Security Council
27:59
as a platform for disinformation.
28:00
Well, has it? I don't think so.
28:02
They may have used the Security Council as a platform for
28:05
information that Britain doesn't want them to use it as a
28:08
platform for, but that's a different thing, she said.
28:11
We have a responsibility to tackle disinformation which
28:14
undermines the UN SCORE mission to protect peace and security
28:18
like Britain ever respected that idea.
28:21
And she said the UK will defend information integrity.
28:25
Our Online Safety Act requires companies to crack down on
28:28
illegal disinformation and remove harmful content from
28:31
their platforms. And you'll notice that this is
28:34
yet another instance where the idea of legal but harmful comes
28:38
right back again. So it's not just about removing
28:42
what they consider to be illegal content, but also content that
28:45
they find harmful to their particular narrative.
28:49
So she went on. We continue to work with our
28:52
closest allies, including through the G7 rapid response
28:54
mechanism. Now, remember, the G7 rapid
28:57
response mechanism was something which Theresa May brought in.
29:01
And the idea is that the G7 countries have a common
29:04
narrative which they then spread through their controlled
29:09
mainstream media outlets. And she said that this would be
29:13
used to to expose and disrupt foreign information operations
29:16
globally, but not just foreign information operations, also
29:20
anybody opposing their narratives in their own
29:23
countries. She said we must act to protect
29:26
independent journalism. By independent journalism, she
29:28
means mainstream journalism and this notion that it's somehow
29:32
still independent, which it isn't because it's totally
29:35
beholden to government money these days.
29:38
More journalists, she went on to say, were killed last year and
29:43
than in any other year since the Committee to protect Journalists
29:45
began collecting data, making it the deadliest record deadliest
29:49
year on record. Well, of course, the reason for
29:52
that is Israel, which she supports and arms at least her
29:55
the government she works for supports and arms.
29:58
And although she did mention Gaza in the next paragraph, that
30:02
doesn't change the the basic fact that she is quite happy to
30:07
ignore the fact that that she is helping with the killings of
30:11
those journalists she was talking about in the 1st place
30:13
by working for the the regime that that's doing it.
30:18
She she goes went on to say the UK remains a committed advocate
30:21
for journalists safety and protection as a Co founder for
30:24
the Immediate Freedom Coalition. So this is the Immediate Freedom
30:29
Coalition's website. It's a partnership of countries
30:32
working together to promote media freedom at home and
30:35
abroad. And again, if we just look at
30:37
the countries involved in this, it is this is all completely
30:41
Western aligned. It is just yet what another part
30:44
of the complex to control narratives and so on.
30:48
But not to let Russia off the hook necessarily here because to
30:53
be clear, it's not the case that Russia does no wrong.
30:56
And this tweet is definitely a disinformation of a kind because
31:01
this is Putin advisor Carol Dmitriev.
31:04
And he's not wrong in accusing the British regime of having a
31:07
desire to go after Elon Musk. He's nonetheless promoting the
31:11
whole civil war agenda in the UK with this tweet, which perhaps
31:15
they are not terribly unhappy to see that type of chaos in the
31:20
UK. We talk about more of that bit
31:22
more about that in Extra as well.
31:24
But just to finish off, since we've mentioned Elon Musk on
31:28
Wednesday, we're talking about the potential that he was going
31:31
to get a $1 trillion pay packet that has now apparently been
31:36
voted for with 75% of the shareholders voting for it.
31:40
So, Charles, I don't know what your thoughts are on that, but
31:44
you know, we were talking on Wednesday about the fact that
31:46
this is effectively putting a huge bung in the hands of
31:49
somebody who's going to use it for political purposes.
31:53
Well, absolutely. And, and really, it's not money
31:56
that he should be entitled to, I would put it, because of course,
32:00
the vast majority of those funds, wherever indeed they come
32:03
from, are either created out of thin air or indeed come from
32:07
taxpayer money through some channel or another.
32:10
But, but I think just to draw out of the shareholder meeting
32:14
the absolute absurdity of it is if it isn't absurd enough to be
32:17
suggesting that somebody should have a trillion dollars, we'll
32:21
just look at one of the absolute brain waves he's had about his
32:23
cars and do do, and actually right now the, you know, the
32:34
versions, you know, the cars are a little strict about keeping
32:40
your eyes on the road. And but I'm confident that in
32:46
the next month or two, we should we, we, we're going to look
32:49
closely at the safety statistics, but we will allow
32:53
you to text and drive essentially.
33:05
So. What could possibly go wrong?
33:14
I mean, my surprise really is the response to the audience.
33:17
I can't really see why everyone was quite so delighted.
33:19
Anyway, we'll just finish off by one of the stunts on the stage,
33:25
which was to produce a robot and make it dance.
33:29
Now, I don't know what dancing lessons cost these days, but
33:33
you'd think with a trillion dollars in your back pocket, you
33:35
might be able to do slightly better than Elon Musk is is
33:39
doing here. So I thought it'd be nice to
33:40
just just look at his his moves on screen.
33:43
But I mean, the whole thing is quite frankly ridiculous.
33:48
And I think, as though, you know, it is a serious subject in
33:52
in many respects, but I think it's entirely appropriate to
33:55
lampoon the more absurd elements of it.
33:58
Yes, thank you, Charles. OK, let's move on then to
34:02
international affairs again and and war, I suppose is the focus
34:06
of the next few minutes. But let's start, Mark, with the
34:10
passing of Dick Cheney. Yes, the globalism graveyard is
34:16
growing. Ladies and gentlemen, the
34:19
passing of Zubigny Burzynski and David Rockefeller, 2017,
34:22
subsequently, of course, Henry Kissinger, and now another dark
34:26
Lord, maybe somewhat comparable to Mr. Mandelson or Mr. Blair,
34:31
Dick Cheney has passed the architect of the post 911
34:35
response, the military hegemony of the United States.
34:39
And, of course, we're not dancing on his grave, but, you
34:42
know, condolences to his survivors and all that.
34:45
He, you know, is a human being. But he got himself into the
34:48
maelstrom of power and it's troubling legacy to reflect on.
34:52
On 9/11, Vice President Cheney, or was he actually president in
34:56
effect, was a central figure in coordinating the government's
34:59
immediate response from the White House's underground
35:02
command center. We'll recall in the aftermath he
35:05
became the primary architect of the US War on Terror, which
35:10
significantly expanded presidential power and US Intel
35:13
OPS. But Cheney gave the later
35:16
aborted shoot down order, notably of the fourth plane,
35:19
Flight 93, and his expansive view of presidential authority
35:24
was called the Unitary Executive Theory.
35:27
Of course, Flight 93 supposedly crashed into a relatively small
35:31
hole in Shanksville, PA, for which there was no wreckage, A
35:35
literal impossibility for a jet that size.
35:38
Moving on, we'll explain this a little further and reflect on
35:41
his torturous policies. Let's put this up there.
35:45
Along with legal counsel David Addington, Cheney emphasis was
35:49
instrumental in crafting policies that authorized harsh
35:53
interrogation methods, including waterboarding.
35:55
Lots of charges of torture at the time.
35:58
He consistently pushed intelligence agencies to link
36:01
Saddam Hussein to al Qaeda and WMDS to justify military action.
36:06
As you recall, guys. And while these claims were
36:09
later debunked, Cheney was a major force behind that military
36:14
action itself. And that was, of course, the US
36:17
invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.
36:19
Iraq was March of 2003, shock and awe, a terrible reign of
36:24
terror and bombing. Many, many priceless artifacts
36:27
were destroyed or disappeared. And Afghanistan became, at least
36:32
in time duration, America's longest war, with so little, at
36:36
least visibly, to show for it. Now, this next slide is just for
36:39
illustration. Fast forward to 2011, ten years
36:45
after 911, and Cheney and Rumsfeld appeared at the
36:49
Conservative Political Action Conference.
36:51
Washington. DCI just happened to be there
36:53
with my wife Angie, and we were photographing and covering the
36:56
event. And first of all, Dick Cheney
37:00
was introduced as a surprise guest at C PAC.
37:03
Now keep in mind that C PAC was where Ron Paul was still running
37:07
for president his second time. The first time was O 8.
37:10
The second time was 2012 and Ron Paul was winning or coming in
37:14
very well on the straw polls at the well known C PAC conference.
37:19
So there was a large Ron Paul contingent.
37:21
They're very constitutional, very skeptical of what happened
37:24
in 911 according to the government story.
37:26
So they introduced Cheney as a surprise guest, and he got as
37:31
many boos as he did. Cheers.
37:33
In other words, jeers and cheers.
37:35
But then Cheney gives the Defender of the Constitution
37:39
Award to another surprise guest, Donald Rumsfeld, another dark
37:44
character regarding 911. The place erupted into absolute
37:49
pandemonium. The Ron Paul people were so
37:52
livid they couldn't contain themselves and one guy was so
37:55
angry and so beside himself that they had to escort him out.
38:00
At least they felt they did. So the Ron Paul people were
38:03
absolutely appalled at these kind of power brokers being
38:07
honored as defenders of the Constitution.
38:09
A very important personal story to share.
38:12
Now, Mr. Cheney has a story to share here too.
38:15
It's kind of self-explanatory. That same year, probably at that
38:19
same time, when he was in DC speaking to the Council on
38:22
Foreign Relations. In this case, let's listen to
38:24
what he had to say about his attitude toward Wyoming voters.
38:28
A quick background is Cheney was a House member before he was a
38:33
chief of staff under George the Dimmer, and he also served in
38:36
the Pentagon and other offices. So this is referring to when he
38:40
was a congressman. Let's go with this.
38:43
Well, Les, Pete, I want to thank you all for the warm welcome
38:46
today. I see a lot of old friends in
38:48
the room, and it's good to be back at the Council on Foreign
38:53
Relations. As Pete mentioned, I been a
38:55
member for a long time and was actually a director for some
38:58
period of time. I never mentioned that when I
39:01
was campaigning for re election back home in Wyoming.
39:04
But yeah, the Wyoming being a very conservative state and
39:12
pretty well informed, I'd say the voters were pretty keen on
39:15
his CFR involvement and not real happy about it.
39:18
But another power broker has gone to that think tank in the
39:22
sky, ladies and gentlemen. And so that that's enough for
39:25
now. We can, of course, reflect a
39:26
little more on extra if you'd like.
39:28
So back to you, Mike. Absolutely, thank you very much
39:30
for for that Mark. Now let's come back to Europe at
39:33
least. And well, the Franco British
39:36
defense relationship is strengthening in all areas of
39:40
cooperation, according to the French minister, the French war
39:43
minister, Sorry, Catherine. Ultra British warmonger John
39:47
Healey was in Norway on Wednesday for the latest meeting
39:50
of the so-called coalition of of the Willing.
39:52
And while he was there, he met with Votran.
39:55
And here they are on screen to sign what is described as a road
39:59
map that serves to make ever stronger interoperability
40:02
between our two armies within the framework of the Lancaster
40:05
House treaties. Now for anybody that doesn't
40:08
know. The Lancaster House treaties
40:10
were signed in 2010. It was almost the first thing, I
40:13
think it was actually literally the first thing that David
40:15
Cameron as Prime Minister and Nick Clegg as Deputy Prime
40:17
Minister did as in the coalition government.
40:21
And this brought the UK into bilateral defence pact with the
40:25
French for 50 years. And well, it's this is kind of
40:28
what it what it looks like. We've got the Lancaster House
40:32
treaties in 2010. These have now been upgraded in
40:35
the last day, but we've also got the 2018 Sandhurst Treaties and
40:39
I described this in this graphic as the Franco British war
40:43
machine. But of course this is only part
40:46
of the picture because that all forms 1/3 or one side of the
40:52
triangle between France, Germany and Britain, which is
40:56
effectively known these days as the E3.
40:59
And this is the key driver for European defence at the moment.
41:03
Now at the same meeting, Healy also met with the other nine
41:07
nations of the so-called coalition of the Willing and
41:09
they all signed an enhanced partnership with Ukraine.
41:13
Healy said that this was a clear signal to Putin.
41:15
Your aggression will be met with our strength.
41:18
So there you go. The meeting follows the
41:20
conclusion last week of the of Terrassus, which is the Joint
41:25
Expeditionary Force's largest and most significant military
41:28
activity in its 11 year history. They said.
41:31
After two months of intensive operations across the Nordic
41:34
Baltic region, EU KS leadership in the Joint Expeditionary Force
41:39
and the ability to rapidly deploy alongside allies if
41:42
needed makes Britain secure at home and strong abroad,
41:47
underpitting this government's plan for change.
41:49
Their their language is fantastic.
41:52
So anyway, that took place during September and October and
41:56
more than 1700 British personnel from all three branches of the
42:01
armed forces were taking part and it was involving, were
42:06
taking part across Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia
42:10
and the Baltic Sea. But good news everyone, because
42:15
Ajax is the world's first truly digital armoured fighting
42:19
vehicle. This is the British Army's new
42:22
armoured fighting vehicle and it's just achieved initial
42:24
operating capability. I'm going to ask Charles about
42:27
this in a second. It is the most advanced medium
42:31
weight armored vehicle in the world, they say.
42:35
So look, let's just get an idea from this little video clip.
42:40
What what that's all about. S #3 William, please.
42:48
Firstly, I know is when getting on the Ajax is just how easy it
42:51
makes it for you. The tech is just so much higher.
42:54
It's so much better than any other vehicle I've been on.
42:57
So there's a variety of sensors, visual otherwise all around the
43:01
vehicle that help you in the turret and ultimately just help
43:03
you be more lethal. Certain systems are incredible.
43:08
Being able to see up to 8 kilometers buys me so much time
43:11
as a commander to be able to look at what's in front of me
43:14
and gain a better assessment of what's actually in front of me
43:16
and. Pass that up.
43:17
So it's more accurate, more time to deliver that information as
43:20
well. Everyone feels informed because
43:22
they've all got good situational awareness given to us by the
43:24
sensors. And all that.
43:26
Information they can give to me allows me to do my job better.
43:31
So what do you think, Charles? I mean you talked about this was
43:34
a September last year. What are your thoughts?
43:38
Yeah, it was, well, I think it was September, October and the,
43:41
the thrust of that report was how incredibly beset by problems
43:45
this had been and how they'd covered it up.
43:46
And actually there was quite significant safety issues with
43:49
crew members from I think it was sound and indeed possibly even
43:54
radiation from within, within the vehicles.
43:57
Yeah, great. All very well until it breaks
43:59
and then you're absolutely stuffed.
44:00
And, and I think with any of these procurement projects,
44:03
particularly on armoured vehicles, by the time it
44:05
actually rolls into service and therefore full operating
44:10
capability, it's out of date. And so in, in effect, if you're
44:15
going to if you're going to move away from from analogue, which
44:18
is something that you can always hope to be able to fix in a, you
44:23
know, in a situation under pressure, you do not have that
44:27
luxury with digital, once it breaks, it breaks.
44:29
That is it. And I think this is the problem
44:31
with any, you know, whatever trials they've put it through, I
44:33
would be fairly sure they will not have received incoming
44:36
rounds onto those vehicles and then seeing how the kit works.
44:40
Absolutely, yes. I think that I think we could be
44:43
fairly sort of that. But finally, just on the war
44:45
front, I wanted to remind everyone what is driving the war
44:49
agenda because the mentality which is driving it is well
44:52
represented by Lindsey Graham. And let's just have a quick look
44:57
at this comment that he made recently.
45:01
So I just want to say I feel good about the Republican Party.
45:05
I feel good about where we're going as a nation.
45:08
We're killing all the right people and we're cutting your
45:10
taxes. Killing all the right people and
45:20
cutting your taxes, you couldn't do better than that.
45:21
Now he went on to say that a coalition of Republicans, some
45:24
Baptists, some Jewish. We organize ourselves around
45:27
principles that we love and we cherish.
45:30
We love individual freedom. We love entrepreneurship, we
45:32
love capitalism, we love Israel, We love the idea of Israel.
45:36
We love the struggle they've been involved in.
45:39
We understand that Israel is a friend of America to the better
45:42
end. We understand that God blesses
45:44
those who bless Israel. Charles, very, very briefly.
45:47
This man, to my mind, is clearly ill, but so's actually quite a
45:52
lot of the United States. Well, I suppose I can't
45:58
necessarily back that up with any substantial evidence because
46:00
I'm not there and I haven't sort of been on a on a tour, but I
46:03
think it's it's a reasonable sort of position to take.
46:06
And actually, this is something that I would encourage people to
46:08
listen to the germ warfare banter session on because this
46:11
is we do, we do go into this to a certain extent insofar as the,
46:16
the adherence to an ideology is concerned.
46:18
And how, you know how he can stand up and believe at the same
46:21
time that he's Christian and that he's killing all the right
46:24
people. He's perfectly staggering.
46:25
But he's, he's not alone. He's absolutely not alone in
46:28
thinking that. No, indeed, indeed, no.
46:31
Let's come back to the UK then. And and farming and health and
46:35
food and so on. What?
46:37
What's been the latest developments around milk and
46:40
beef? Yeah, a number of things have
46:44
happened, as they tend to do at the same time, which makes it
46:47
interesting, not least because a year or so ago there was a lot
46:51
of fuss created over what was being described as a feed
46:54
additive, which was a designed as a methane suppressant called
46:58
Beauvaire. Now those concerns were well
47:01
articulated, but of course were described as being conspiracy
47:05
theories and propaganda and all the rest of it.
47:07
And we've now got Farmers Weekly this just this week saying that
47:11
the Beauvaire maker is defending their products after Danish
47:14
farmer fears. And that headline is backed up
47:17
by the The Nordic Times saying that a Danish farmer raises the
47:20
alarm and Beauvaire is making my cow sick.
47:22
Now, of course, the problem with anything like this is that
47:25
social media tends to go wild and it's very hard to understand
47:28
exactly what may or may not be going on.
47:31
So I got in touch directly with the Danish Veterinary and Food
47:34
Administration, but I must say responded almost immediately.
47:37
So my thanks to Mikkel and I hope hope that he can pass on to
47:41
Defra exactly how to deal with these sorts of things and that
47:44
that may trickle down to other British government departments.
47:46
But nonetheless, what they say in their statement in Denmark is
47:50
that we are very aware that some herd owners have reported
47:53
animals showing signs of illness after being fed with Beauvaire.
47:57
So they're not denying it. They're not trying to squash the
47:59
story immediately. They say that they're monitoring
48:01
the situation. They then go on, of course, as
48:04
they would to say that the that the feed additive itself has
48:08
undergone a long and thorough approval process.
48:11
But they said that it was the agricultural sector that tested
48:14
Beauvera for an extended period before, and this is the critical
48:17
part, before it became mandatory to use methane reducing feed.
48:21
Now it should be noted that that that mandatory period only
48:25
started in October. So this is very new news and
48:28
indeed the reaction to it, if indeed this is a reaction to it,
48:31
has of course taken place over a very short period of time.
48:34
And then they described the sector's own studies not showing
48:37
any signs that the cows became ill or experienced reduced
48:40
well-being. Well, I wonder why that might
48:42
be. And I don't mean to sound too
48:44
cynical, but the way in which these things work, whether it be
48:47
drugs for humans, feed additives for humans or I'm sorry for
48:50
animals, the process is ineffectively the same, which is
48:54
that the scrutiny is provided by the people who are standing to
48:57
make money from it in the first place.
48:59
It's not a sensible, it's never going to produce a sensible
49:02
outcome. But the Food Administration have
49:06
commissioned a report which is going to be conducted by our
49:08
House university. And I think the other important
49:11
part to bring out here is that they do say the legislation
49:15
contains an exemption clause that has existed since the
49:18
beginning of the scheme. If the person responsible for
49:20
the herd assesses that a cow to show signs of metabolic
49:23
disorder, the cow may be exempted from feeding.
49:25
And effectively they go on in that vein saying that if your
49:28
whole, if you've got concerns about your whole herd, you are
49:31
exempted. Now, I think it's a very
49:33
important point to make in that frankly, why, if those are the
49:38
potential outcomes, would farmers comply?
49:40
And that's where we go back to the exemption clause applying to
49:44
the person who's responsible for the herd.
49:46
Because I can't be certain speaking here now, whether that
49:51
means the person who is actually tending that herd every day or
49:54
whether there's a deal regarding a corporation, whether in fact
49:58
it's the corporation upon whose behalf that work is being done,
50:03
whether they maintain control of the herd and would therefore
50:07
refuse to stop the Beauver feed additive.
50:12
So, so there's a grey arrow. But but you know, things are
50:14
happening. Now, if this is news to you,
50:16
what I would recommend is that you go to the UK column website
50:19
and you look at Doctor Mike Williams's article from last
50:21
year talking about the insurance and outs of feed additive
50:25
itself. Is Beauver safe and effective?
50:27
And of course, what this all pertains to is methane.
50:30
So what a coincidence that just last week the Department for
50:33
Energy Security and Net Zero put out the UK Methane Action Plan.
50:39
And the very first sentence I would say is on pretty shaky
50:42
ground, saying methane is a greenhouse gas that contributes
50:45
to global warming. And they put in this a graph
50:52
which they say illustrates the issue.
50:54
And if you if you are watching, you'll see that there's a yellow
50:57
strip at the top of the graph, which basically hasn't got any
51:01
smaller in quantity over the years that are documented in
51:06
fact saying that agriculture is responsible in the UK 48% of
51:09
emissions and therefore all agriculture is to be targeted in
51:14
order to be able to reduce this. Now again, going back to UK
51:19
column content that contextualises this.
51:21
Neil Harrison wrote a very, very good article this summer called
51:24
The Bison and the Bias. And there'll be links to all
51:26
this in the show notes. But Neil's point in summary is
51:29
that if hundreds of thousands and millions of wild animals
51:33
with essentially the same ruminant systems roamed the
51:36
earth centuries ago and more than why is it a problem to have
51:41
got rid of all those and have cows now?
51:43
So that but it obviously goes into a lot more detail.
51:46
So I really would encourage that you do have a look at that.
51:48
Now, what's this related to of course, the production of milk.
51:51
And I spoke about Blue tongue earlier in the week and the
51:54
withdrawal period for administering a drug and
51:56
essentially any harm that can come to people who might be
51:59
eating beef or indeed taking milk from cows that have
52:03
received both air. So here we go and look at BBC
52:05
Sport, who are in a terrible fluster because a very well
52:09
known Norwegian footballer who plays for Manchester City called
52:12
Erling Harland, it turns out he drinks raw milk.
52:16
And this has created great problems for BBC and indeed the
52:19
mainstream media. And they've parroted out the
52:21
Food Standard Agency, saying that, you know, harmful bacteria
52:25
and it's all deadly risk. And it's banned in Scotland and
52:27
it can only be sold at the farm gate and all the usual rhetoric
52:30
surrounding it. But the critical part is the man
52:33
himself. And we're just going to have a
52:34
quick look at a video of Harland going shopping.
52:38
I'm super happy. Have you got milk?
52:41
Yeah. Good do.
52:42
You know what? Else we've got beef, we've got
52:44
Tom Hawks. Now look at that.
52:48
So how many can I get? Because we need to be fair with
52:50
the others. Well, I have to say the
52:52
Tomahawks probably are a harder sell because they're a little
52:56
bit more expensive, obviously. OK I'll I'll take them 3 then.
53:04
I like fatty steak the most. Rib eye tomahawk obviously.
53:08
One of my favorite is short ribs, the.
53:11
Milk. We need a little bit of this in
53:14
milk. Super food as well.
53:16
It's good for us. It's good for our stomach.
53:18
It's good for our skin, good for our bones and muscles.
53:22
That's why I drink it. Do you want honey?
53:24
Home 123. You want honey as well?
53:27
4 honey. I have it at home.
53:30
Yeah. So 4 honey.
53:31
Yeah. I'm super happy.
53:32
I expected only milk and we went out with a lot of steak.
53:36
Milk and honey. Perfect.
53:43
So not necessarily a classic piece of cinema, but the main
53:46
point of it is that he is a 25 year old with an enormous
53:50
following and that went out on his YouTube channel and it's
53:55
slightly too small to see but the he has over 700.
53:58
Sorry, over 800,000, nearly 900,000 followers on YouTube.
54:02
And that video has been viewed nearly 7,000,000 times, which
54:06
does create a problem for the establishment and that's
54:08
reinforced by data from Google Trends and you can see it well
54:12
released. If you can't see the screen,
54:14
there's a graph which shows the date of that video coming out
54:17
23rd of October. And there's a massive spike in
54:19
searches for raw milk. Now, of course, the fundamental
54:23
problem with raw milk is that it enables the farmer, because of
54:27
the legislation, to have a direct relation with the
54:30
customer. And therefore it cuts out to a
54:32
large extent, Food Standards Agency.
54:34
It cuts out Defra, it cuts out subsidy and it cuts out all the
54:37
elements of control that were put in place in order to manage
54:42
the farming sector. And this is exactly why milk
54:45
pasteurisation was pushed quite so hard.
54:47
So it'll be no great surprise to learn that in the very long
54:50
career that the third Lord Rothschild had in the House of
54:55
Lords, he only spoke on 2 occasions. 1 was about Palestine
54:59
and the other was about raw milk and the dangers of
55:01
pasteurisation. I've just pulled out a very
55:03
small quote from a long speech he gave in 1946 about this,
55:07
saying that he was referring to the opponents of pasteurisation
55:11
and many people who have fallen victims to their propaganda.
55:15
How very ironic. And I just finish off by saying
55:17
if you if this is something you want to know more about and do
55:20
look at the excellent interview with John Cook from a couple of
55:23
years ago called Raw Truth, Unadul, Unadulterated Milk and
55:27
Food Security. And I just round off by saying
55:29
I'm actually off to see John this afternoon to pick up a job.
55:32
Lot of raw milk. A job lot?
55:35
I don't think so. Thank you very much, Charles.
55:37
Thank you for that. Right.
55:39
But let's come back to you, Mark, and we'll end then with
55:42
the latest fair porn from the various health establishments
55:47
with respect to M Pox. Yes, Mike, you were talking
55:53
earlier about Xi Jinping and the Global Governance Initiative
55:57
maybe being sort of disingenuous, contradicting
56:00
China's policies. Well, we see some of that dodgy
56:03
stuff going on here now. Here's a recent headline, 28
56:06
October Daily Mail urgent warning over rising deadlier
56:10
impacts cases in Europe and US as UK officials fear the virus
56:15
may be spreading undetected. So people might not be showing
56:19
symptoms and it's going past from one person to another and
56:22
not being detected. But here's the BBCA day earlier.
56:26
What is mpox and why are cases rising in Europe now?
56:30
This is a little bit maybe lesser known.
56:32
UK health officials are encouraging gay, bisexual and
56:35
other men who have sex with men to make sure they are vaccinated
56:39
against mpox, as a strain called clade 1B shows early signs of
56:45
local spread in some European countries.
56:47
This sexual component to this maybe isn't so widely known.
56:51
I'm saying the UK Health Security Agency is aware of
56:55
small numbers of cases of this impact strain formerly called
56:58
monkey pox in Spain, Italy, Portugal, Netherlands and the
57:02
US. So that's sort of the nature of
57:04
it. They're saying even though Auk
57:06
column, we question the nature or even existence of viruses at
57:10
times. Now when you get to The Who,
57:13
that's when things get interesting.
57:14
This next slide, The Who has rescinded the public health
57:19
emergency of international concern about M pox.
57:23
The bottom slide we've seen before on the column, that's
57:26
from August of 2024 when The Who Director General Tadros declared
57:30
M pox outbreak a public health emergency of international
57:34
concern. That's the level they need to
57:36
get to before they can declare A pandemic or as they declare A
57:40
pandemic. Now, one, one other thing on
57:42
that slide, Mike, the the top part of that says, however, that
57:48
the extension of standing recommendations for impacts were
57:52
subsequently issued by the Director general of WHO.
57:55
So in other words, they rescinded the public health
57:58
emergency of international concern and they're sticking
58:01
with the previous standing recommendations.
58:04
So it sounds like they're backing down, but are they now?
58:09
James Raguski had this to say. The pandemic agreement, the
58:14
pandemic agreement negotiations, he calls it the pandemic
58:17
agreement BS or PABS, which actually stands for something
58:24
else. The negotiations held Monday and
58:26
Tuesday, that's this past Monday and Tuesday only reinforced
58:29
what's always, always been abundantly clear.
58:32
These negotiations are not about health.
58:34
They are about money and profits.
58:37
And when I looked at the document that rescinded that
58:40
public health emergency and read through it and it was quite
58:42
long, it showed that even though they've rescinded that public
58:47
health emergency declaration, they're actually pushing very
58:51
hard to get all the vaccine delivery systems in place and
58:55
all the infrastructure. So when a pandemic is declared,
58:58
they can get the vaccines, the mRNA injections, whatever they
59:02
want to any country they want pretty much.
59:05
So while they while The Who seems to be backing down,
59:08
they're putting the infrastructure in place for
59:11
maximum profits, like Mr. Raguski is saying, Mike.
59:15
And then that last slide was just the a really reiteration of
59:18
the upcoming schedule. It shows the the upcoming
59:22
meetings of the working group and let's just show that real
59:26
quick. The N3 through 7, the
59:29
international government intergovernmental working group
59:31
agenda just got done with that part of it.
59:34
Then they'll meet early December, middle February,
59:36
latter March, and finally the 79th World Health Assembly in
59:39
Geneva in May. And they still have not actually
59:43
ratified or put into force the pandemic treaty.
59:46
Like I've said, they're trying to make it look like it's
59:48
adopted and enforce or almost enforce and it's not.
59:51
So not all, not all hope is lost in terms of preventing another
59:55
pandemic, but they are trying to put the infrastructure in place
59:59
while they seem to be backing down or toning it down.
1:00:02
So again, it requires total vigilance here.
1:00:05
So back to you. Thank you.
1:00:07
Thank you, Mark. Thank you for that.
1:00:09
And look, we'll just end on a on a slightly humorous note now I'm
1:00:13
going to say I'm not entirely certain whether this is AI
1:00:16
generator or not. I don't think it matters.
1:00:18
It, it, it makes an interesting point.
1:00:20
And and so we should just enjoy the, the humour in it.
1:00:25
But this is Ursula von der Leyen.
1:00:28
Well, it, it should be reasonably self-explanatory for,
1:00:31
for people that are just listening.
1:00:32
Well, I'll just mention what happens in it afterwards, but
1:00:34
let's watch this first. Thank.
1:00:38
You. Thank you very much for
1:00:44
receiving me and first of all to those who scream and yell, hear
1:00:49
so loud they can be happy that they are in a free country like
1:00:54
Finland where the free speech is a right where they have not any
1:01:00
restriction. If they would be in Moscow, they
1:01:03
would be in jail in 2 minutes. Thanks God we have democracy.
1:01:12
So Charles I just by saying I hope that's real because as the
1:01:16
guy gets frogged, frog March off off by the police as she's
1:01:20
talking about freedom of speech. I just thought that was
1:01:22
beautiful. Absolutely priceless.
1:01:25
What a great note to end on. Yeah, absolutely.
1:01:27
OK. Well, look, Charles, Mark, thank
1:01:29
you very much for today and thanks to everybody that's
1:01:32
watched. We will be back in a few minutes
1:01:34
