Good afternoon. It's Wednesday, eighth of May twenty twenty four. Just after
0:12
one o'clock Walkom the UK called News. I'm your host Mike Rubinson joining me
0:15
today with Vanessa Bailey from Damascus and Charles Mallett. Welcome to the program.
0:20
Both. Now we're going to get kicked off today with the news that Astrosenica
0:25
has decided to withdraw it's COVID nineteen vaccine. At this point, they are
0:30
claiming that the reason for the withdrawal is that the virus has mutated. It's
0:36
no longer the vaccine that they produced is no longer effective against SARS CoV two,
0:43
and there's denying absolutely that it's got anything to do with their recent admission
0:47
finally, that the Astrosendeka vaccine had caused so much harm to many people.
0:54
On the BBC this morning, for example, they were very very keen to
0:57
make sure that at least the BBC was to make sure that they reinforced the
1:00
notion that it was a very rare event, and then they went on to
1:04
celebrate the speed at which the vaccine had been developed in the first place.
1:10
But nonetheless Astrosennika at this point denying still that the decision to withdraw from globally
1:18
in fact, was anything to do with adverse reactions. So well, that's
1:23
one piece of news. The other piece of news is that the government is
1:26
moving ahead with its narrative over the issue of antibiotics and so on. So
1:34
if you remember last year, the UK Health Security Agency held the conference in
1:38
November in Leeds and the issue of antimicrobial resistance was high up on the agenda.
1:45
So here's Jenny Harris. At the time, I was saying, I'm
1:48
here to highlight the risk to everyone's health of antimicrobial resistance and call upon all
1:53
partners to join the AMRSS. So the government now has decided that they are
2:00
going to sorry, let's just have jumped ahead there. I do apologize.
2:05
They've decided that they are going to to roll out their new National Action Plan,
2:13
Sorry for the delay on that on antimicrobial resistance, which they say has
2:16
been launched to protect people and animals from the risk of drug resistant infections.
2:22
And this is in support of the government's twenty year vision to contain and control
2:27
antimicrobial resistance by twenty forty. So this plan, they say, builds on
2:31
the progress made in the previous five year National Action Plan and Lessons learned from
2:36
COVID nineteen and sets ambitious targets to drive down inappropriate use of antibiotics and stimulate
2:43
further development of new drugs and vaccines. Well, you've got the preview of
2:46
it. Jam Sally Davis in fact, didn't say anything about cleansing or baby
2:50
wipes in this particular release, But I just remind everybody what she had said
2:54
with respect not to anti microbial resistance but to novchok the nerve agent. In
3:02
fact, what she said in this instances it's incomprehensible for any of us to
3:07
imagine a world without effect of antibiotics. But we're facing an antibiotic emergency already
3:13
now. Of course, she wrote the book on this several years ago,
3:16
and she has been pushing this narrative for a very long time. But let's
3:20
go back to the government's plan now and have a look at what they're saying.
3:24
This new action plan will run from twenty twenty four to twenty twenty nine.
3:28
It embeds lessons from the COVID nineteen pandemic and will include specific commitments focusing
3:34
on infection prevention and control and the development and use of diagnostics and vaccines.
3:38
So in other words, they're rolling out the COVID Plan not only with respect
3:45
to so called viral pandemics but also the issue of this. So they went
3:52
on to say this the National Action Plan will commit the UK to reducing its
3:55
use of anti microbials such as antibiotics, anti fund and antivirals in humans and
4:01
animals. It commits to continue to innovate through initiatives such as indicating that the
4:09
world's first subscription model for antimicrobials, which was launched in twenty nineteen as a
4:15
pilot, could be expanded. So they are consulting on this at the moment.
4:18
So what they have done is they've said that, well, we appreciate
4:23
that antimicrobial drugs of various kinds have a value for the National Health Service,
4:30
and so we are going to pay the big farmer companies a yearly subscription based
4:35
on what we judge is the value to the NHS of these types of drugs.
4:42
In the meantime, they're working as hard as they possibly can to reduce
4:45
the use of these drugs, and so that brings us into a position where
4:51
the NHS is potentially paying for something which it actually isn't receiving because they're on
4:58
a fixed subscription model. The quantity of the drug that's being used isn't taken
5:01
into account for this. Charles, I don't know if you've got any thoughts
5:06
on this, but and I'm not trying to dinplay the issue of anti microwheal
5:13
resistance or the overuse of antibiotics particularly. I mean, antibiotics are overused,
5:20
there's no question about that. They're taken like sweets by many people, and
5:24
they're certainly used in the farming industry a bit too much. But nonetheless,
5:29
this issue is being used, it seems to me, or it looks to
5:31
me like it's being used to build the same type of narratives for the type
5:36
of behavioral control that we saw in under COVID. Thanks Mike, Yes,
5:46
I think that's absolutely the case, and I would argue with Sally Davis that
5:49
I can absolutely see a world in which we do not have antibolitics, and
5:54
indeed, I think that's the world that we should be in. But this
5:57
is, as you say, this is effectively conjointjoining the control, money and
6:02
fear narratives for the benefit of all those that are pulling those particular strings.
6:09
Yes, So in the meantime we seem to have a new break of some
6:15
kind of nasty disease coming into farm animals. We do, or at least
6:20
that's the way the government would have it. If you are a human though,
6:24
don't switch off now, because this does definitely concern you. This is
6:27
the government announcing that blue tongue is going to be a risk for this year.
6:30
It's amazing forecasting by them, but they've suggested that due to some identification
6:38
via tests, that this is what's going to be making a serious impact now.
6:43
Of course, the BBC are fanning the flames with news that midges are
6:47
being blown into the UK, so I think the inconsistent science is the theme
6:53
running through this. BBC reporting that a new strain of the animal disease could
6:58
have a devastating impact. They talk about infected midges being blown over from northern
7:01
Europe one hundred and twenty six cases. However, they're very clear that the
7:05
virus does not affect people or food safety, and I'll come back to that
7:10
because I believe that is not true, even if for a slightly separate reason.
7:15
And they critically they say that farmers are calling for a vaccine They go
7:19
on to say that in the Netherlands a vaccine was given emergency approval just last
7:25
week and that the government is actively engaging on this. Now. Interesting to
7:30
note that it was only in February here, according to the Farmer's Guide,
7:32
that farmers were relieved as blue tung spread was now highly unlikely. So what's
7:38
not been considered at all are the environmental conditions, which is often the case
7:42
when the government's attempting to determine the particular illness of our testing, they take
7:46
no regard for the environment. And of course the consistently wet conditions over the
7:49
winter are not just outstanding conditions for midges to hatch, breed and circulate in,
7:56
but also more likely to be depleting the nutrients of animals that have probably
8:01
been kept indoors far longer than they would normally have been on feed that they
8:03
wouldn't normally be eating at this time vier So to leap to the conclusion that
8:09
midges are causing this will have anything to do with it is quite staggering.
8:13
Nonetheless, we'll have a look at a quick video now to see what the
8:15
government are saying about this AHA's role in controlling blue toung is that we have
8:22
the responsibility for controlling animal disease in Great Britain. Is our job to detect
8:28
cases as they come through, so farmers and vets will report the suspicion of
8:31
disease to us. Will then go out and look at those animals, will
8:35
take the sample. Seven to per Bright, they are the lead laboratory for
8:41
blue tung so the Purbrite Institute has a wide range of expertise ranging from not
8:45
only the laboratory testing aspect, but also around modeling of disease outbreaks, pula
8:50
coridious surveillance and really supporting disease control. So they are now really preparing ourselves
8:56
for an outbreak later this year. Spread by the Quli cordis midge and is
9:00
able to infect all the low ruminant species including cattle, sheep, goats and
9:05
cannons. It's important to know that it only takes one in facts fight from
9:09
image in order to infect an animal. Classic clinical signs of blue channgue sheep
9:15
are doing with the face fever, hemorrhage of the coralary bands. The w
9:20
lethargic may not want to get up to feed. We've also worked with Perbrite
9:24
on the modeling of the disease, what's the most likely scenarios, what's the
9:28
least likely scenarios, and then also with the Met Office as well, to
9:33
look at when is it likely that midges would be blown over from the continent,
9:37
and we have a regular program of assessing the risk of infecting images being
9:43
blown into the UK. The problem is that a lot of people will receive
9:54
what they've just had there as absolute fact, and I would put it a
9:58
different way. You have noticed the many references to modeling and testing and midges
10:03
being blown onto the continent for from the continent for which there is scant,
10:09
if any evidence. Nonetheless, they are determined, of course that there will
10:13
be an effect on the animal population, and I would wager it only be
10:18
a matter of time before the inference is drawn that humans are also at risk.
10:24
But we'll just look at the financial background, because this is always where
10:26
these things become a bit more clear. And the Sustainable Farming Initiative, which
10:31
we've looked at incentive rather which we've looked at a lot this year, talks
10:33
about the annual Health and Welfare Review. In essence, they are sponsoring farmers
10:37
to have visits from vets they say at the moment that this will not be
10:41
used for inspections or compliants, but I wonder how long that will be the
10:46
case, and that the VET will help you make sure your use of veterinary
10:50
medicines and vaccines is appropriate, by which they mean that all animals must be
10:54
vaccinated against absolutely everything, all the time. So they're delivering these priorities by
11:00
using public funds to pay for health and welfare enhancements that are valued by the
11:05
public. Of course, the public are being told exactly what they should be
11:09
valuing in the first place, and that they will therefore be purchasing food that
11:13
aligns with their values. Now, this animal health and welfare pathway financially rewards
11:20
farmers who deliver public goods, or at least that's the way they put it.
11:24
So what do they mean by this, Well, we've got items and
11:26
specifications under the Equipment and Technology Fund, and it doesn't take much searching to
11:33
find that one such item is an automatic vaccination gun for livestock, which will
11:37
be you will be granted half the cost of that, and indeed a vaccine
11:41
refrigerator with an external monitor. Critically, they're underlined is the score and you
11:48
can increase your application score by twenty percent if you provide evidence that you've discussed
11:54
your application with a VET. So it's very hard to see how any objectivity
12:01
is really going to be retained throughout this process as everybody chases the medicines and
12:05
the money at the same time, because of course they both point in the
12:07
same direction. Now this comes from further back, which is the gb bluetong
12:13
virus disease control strategy, going back to twenty fourteen, in which there is
12:18
a passage on vaccination. But specifically, what I want to point out is
12:22
that it refers to the use of approved inactivated vaccines and it talks about voluntary
12:28
or compulsory vaccination under a specific or general license. So this is beginning to
12:33
ring a fair few bells. The vaccine in question, the one that was
12:35
referred to in the Netherlands, is here listed by the European Medicines Agency as
12:41
the sivazor BTV. And going back to the part about it being relevant for
12:48
humans, what I want to draw your attention to is this passage here first
12:52
of all, the inherent arrogance of the allopathic medical system which teaches says that
13:01
it teaches the immune system, which is the body's natural defenses, which seems
13:05
to be a bizarre thing to want to do in the first place. But
13:07
at the bottom there, the vaccine also contains adjuvants aluminium hydroxide and sappenin that
13:11
enhance the response of the immune system. So just bear that in mind whilst
13:16
we look at the next bit, which is the withdrawal period from in food
13:20
producing animals. So this is the period before which an animal may be slaughtered
13:24
for the meat being used for human consumption. And here the withdrawal period for
13:28
this drug with those adjuvants for sheep and cattle treated with this vaccine is zero
13:35
days, which means that there is no mandatory waiting time. It means that
13:39
if you're eating food from a supermarket, there is absolutely no doubt you are
13:41
going to be eating these vaccines. An awful, an awful lot site and
13:46
it just goes to show how the system is being completely manufactured in order to
13:52
follow Mike's segment that there is a complete reliance on these drugs and the money
13:58
that's going both ways. In the set in the same system, Charles,
14:03
the theme here is, I think from the beginning of the program is we're
14:07
starting to see the same types of policy cropping up in various different areas,
14:11
whether it be viarral pandemic like COVID nineteen, ARSARS, CoV two, anti
14:18
microbial resistance. But you're talking about farm animals. We've got to remember that
14:22
the same type of modeling and the same type of policy was ruled out during
14:28
the foot and mouth crisis, and we had the whole issue of slaughtered on
14:33
suspicion at that time, where a test was given or a test result came
14:37
back the wrong way, farms found their entire herds being culled. So,
14:43
first of all, what are the symptoms of this? What are the implications
14:46
for the animals? But I mean, do you also see any hints of
14:50
a slaughtered on suspicion policy being sitting in the background here somewhere? First of
14:58
all, the slaughters on suspicion, I'm not sure that I have seen anything
15:01
that refers specifically to that. I think one of the reasons for that is
15:05
that there's more money in not slaughtering on suspicion, or at least more money
15:09
for the people that are able to exert more influence, and therefore the push
15:13
towards medication is a more likely outcome. But, as I say, because
15:20
we're having this relentless push for what are being referred to as zoonotic pathogens,
15:26
the idea the sort of fear that if our biosecurity is not sufficient then these
15:31
things will go from animals to humans. And of course, as anyone who's
15:35
ever been to the west coast of Scotland in the summer knows, midges do
15:37
like biting humans too, so it's not going to be too long before the
15:41
suggestion perhaps that we are vulnerable to this as well. The symptoms, again,
15:46
with all of these supposedly insect born illnesses, they are very non specific.
15:54
The blue tongue is the only really sort of I mean not actually that
15:58
it necessarily needs to be, but the sort of lethargy and general symptoms are
16:03
in a way similar to the nondescript symptoms that malaria or dungy fever or any
16:08
of these other things have attached to them. So, as I said at
16:11
the beginning, science behind this is terrifically inconsistent and of course laboratory driven and
16:15
very very closed loop thinking. Yes, okay, thank you, we'll keep
16:21
an eye on this as we go Okay, let's move then to Vladimir Putin,
16:26
because he has he has now been inaugurated earlier in the week for his
16:33
fifth term as President of Russia, and it was quite the event. The
16:37
interesting thing here is that the list of countries had sent any kind of representation
16:44
from the West was pretty small. So France, Hungary, Slovakia, Malta,
16:48
Cyprus and Greece sent representation, but everybody else decided that they didn't want
16:56
to be involved in it at all. What knitted me with the BBC's response
17:02
to this in particular because they, and in fact the mainstream media as a
17:06
general rule, was really going with the ad hominem attacks here. Of course,
17:11
but Putinism is a thing, according to the BBC, and they were
17:15
quoting a guy from the Carnegie US Russia Center saying, we have one moreism
17:21
in our history, Stalinism. I would say that Putinism is one more incarnation
17:26
of Stalinism. He behaves like Stalin, his power is personalized, like in
17:30
Stalin's time. He he prefers to use a lot of political repressions, and
17:36
like Stalin, he's ready to keep himself in part until physical end. And
17:41
then they attempted to demonstrate the sort of tutalitarian In fact, they were very
17:47
clear in saying that this was not authoritarianism. It was totalitarianism that we were
17:51
saying here, and they attempted to demonstrate this by choosing one time in Russia
17:56
that happens to have a mural on a wall of Putin. May have been
18:00
more successful with this argument if the Putt and Murals had been in every single
18:03
wall, in every single time and in the country. But anyway, nonetheless,
18:07
Uh, this was the the effort, Vanessa. It's it's really pretty
18:11
childish, isn't it. Sorry, try again, we didn't hear you.
18:22
Are you muted at your end? Okay, we have a problem then,
18:30
because you're definitely not coming across here. So uh, I think I think
18:37
you need to try to reconnect. We will. We will come back to
18:40
this story in a minute. Let's let's see if we can do some quick
18:45
editing and move forward through the through the well done. I don't know what
18:56
happened, Yes, tell us your thoughts on the coverage of the Putin thing.
19:06
You know, there is an increased number of Westerners that have moved to
19:10
Russia to escape the totalitarianism in their own countries in the West and to hear
19:18
this kind of reviews they ad hominem attack when I'm clearly in touch with people
19:25
who are now living in Russia, who have an incredibly relaxed lifestyle there.
19:30
It's tough, yeah, I mean, it's just insane, it is.
19:37
Yeah, And I would echo that because we had somebody visited us a couple
19:40
of weeks ago who is a British guy living in Russia, and he was
19:45
very clear on what life in Russia is like for Westerners. It's quite incredible.
19:51
But in the meantime, around the same time, President Chimping decided to
19:56
head to front well, actually he's on a trip to Europe for the first
20:03
time in five years, which is very interesting timing. Yesterday he was in
20:07
Belgrade twenty five years after the NATO bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade during
20:15
their you know, devastation of Serbia. And here we just have some of
20:22
the images of the visit by Jijian King and his wife to Paris and meeting
20:29
with President Macron and our deer Escula bon de Lion, who her particularly made
20:37
it very clear that this is about what they call balancing trades with China.
20:41
In other words, I saink for tailing. What they perceive is Chinese trade
20:47
expansion, overproduction of products and basically an invasion. I'm quite sure they proceed
20:56
it as that of European treat areas. Now, I found it quite funny
21:03
that how Reuters reported what was discussed. First of all, the Chinese tariff
21:07
could leave Cognac makers, particularly French was too much brandy. What is this
21:12
based on? Basically high Chinese paris on EU Brandy would leave French companies with
21:19
fast announts of Cognac that could be hard to sell elsewhere. I didn't actually
21:25
know that China was such a large marketip for Cognac, but there you go.
21:29
Anyway. Also quite amusing is that Macron's gifts to Xijingping was of vintage
21:36
brandy. And then secondly, the companies invest in electric vehicle battery factories in
21:44
Europe. This again is the counter the influence of Asia, particularly China and
21:48
production of these batteries. So this goes back to Europe is seeking to attract
21:55
electric vehicle battery makers. Now we all know how reliable those are to build
21:59
factory in the region home to car natives such as Volkswagen and Atlantists that tries
22:04
to cut dependency on Asia and win in the green race against the United States.
22:11
Now, while he was there, Hujin Thing pens and article for Figuo,
22:18
one of the leading lead her outlets in France, and the article was
22:22
translated by the State Council. The English sections the full text of his article,
22:30
and I just picked out a couple of sections that I found particularly interesting.
22:34
I know, Mike, he's also got your opinion. Having read it,
22:38
I do recommend that everyone reads it. It's a very interesting read and
22:42
certainly far weightier, far more intellectually interesting than much of what is produced by
22:52
Western leaders and representatives. So one thing that I haven't included here is his
23:00
comments about Israel Palestine and a slight softening in my opinion on the insistence on
23:07
a two state solution. He actually mentions the fact that this plan has now
23:11
very much been eroded by event since the seventh of October. That's the first
23:15
time that I've seen any kind of drift away from what I considered to be
23:19
a complete political constructor of a two state solution towards a Palestinian state, but
23:26
not necessarily adhering to the kind of two state solution cannards. But he also
23:33
talked about Ukraine the crisis on the people of Europe, who made that very
23:38
clear. China did not start the Ukraine crisis, nor is it a party
23:42
or a participant in it. Nonetheless, China has been playing a constructive role
23:48
in striving for peaceful settlement. I've made many appeals, among others, observing
23:52
the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, respecting sovereignty and territorial integrity of
23:59
all kines, and addressing the legitimate security concerns of all sides. I've stress
24:04
so that nuclear weapons must not be used and the nuclear war must not be
24:08
fought. China has delivered to Ukraine many shipments of humanitarian as and sent it
24:15
special representatives many times to mediate among the country's concerns. The longer the Ukraine
24:22
crisis drags on, the greater harm it will do to Europe, very important
24:26
points and the world. China hopes that peace and stability will return to Europe
24:32
at an early date. We stand ready to work with France and the whole
24:36
international community to find a reasonable way out of the crisis. Now interesting that
24:41
he mentions or points out France in particular after France is the one that was
24:47
basically threatening to send boots on the ground. And then finally his final statement
24:53
in the article again I find very interesting, he said. Confucius observes that
24:59
a man of true moral integrity is one who is both friendly but independent,
25:04
and who does not compromise his principles, and who is independent without any bias
25:10
or taking sides. How unflinchingly firm is he in his strength. And he
25:15
also quotes French writer Roma Rolance said that it is so much easier to allow
25:22
oneself to be guided than it is to think for oneself. This abdication is
25:27
the kernel of the mischief. Now for me and I'd be really interested in
25:33
your point of view, both of you. This to me is a message
25:37
to France to secure independence from US influence. He says, both China and
25:44
France value independence is two major countries. Our interactions in the long course of
25:48
history have released tremendous energy praying the trajectory of the world. Now we are
25:53
standing at another historical starting point. Let us join hands together on this new
26:00
journey towards greater progress in China France relations is the benefit of our two countries
26:06
in the world. Very interesting content in this article, Yes, indeed.
26:11
And he was also talking then to reporters during the trip, and he was
26:18
talking about the issue of Ukraine and the possibility of some kind of international peace
26:23
conference on Ukraine, but he said that China will only support that if Russia
26:29
was involved in that as well. Now, it's interesting that there is supposing
26:33
that some kind of strange peace conference planned to take place in Switzerland, I
26:38
think in the middle of June or so, and Russia is not invited.
26:42
So, you know, this is pretty insane. How how do you hold
26:48
a peace conference on Ukraine unless both parties are added? Yeah, I mean,
26:53
it's entirely ridiculous. But I just find it very interesting the wording of
26:59
the article and what appears to be a deliberate targeting apprant to uncouple it from
27:04
US policy and try and forge a way forward towards peace in Europe and in
27:11
Ukraine. Very interesting. Completely agree. And it did strike me as interesting
27:17
that he chose France for the reasons that you said, because they are the
27:21
country that seems to be leading the calls for boots on the ground, and
27:25
we understand that some French military personnel have been killed in Ukraine over the last
27:32
couple of years. So well, we'll keep an eye on that and see
27:37
what whether France changes its direction or not. Okay, let's move on.
27:41

28:17
Now, yesterday and the interview between J. Michael Waller and Brian went
28:22
out on the live stream and that is now available on the UK Column website
28:26
if you didn't get to watch it yesterday. Now. J. Michael Waller
28:30
is the author of Big Intel and he was talking about your Besnomov besman Off
28:37
Sorry and people like this. They were asking just how can the destructive teachings
28:42
of Saul Olinsky appear alongside US President Obama, British Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron
28:49
and the UK Liver Party. So at a very interesting and wide ranging discussion.
28:56
Tomorrow at one pm there's an interview going out with doctor Michael Nils.
29:00
He's the author of Indoctrinated Brain, and he's speaking to Brian about Alzheimer's and
29:06
the effect of COVID lockdown's on the hippocampus in particular. A quick reminder that
29:12
on Saturday, I will be speaking at this event in Stinning. This is
29:18
Western Empire in the Great Reset. Sandy Adams will also be speaking at that
29:22
event begins at ten thirty am on Saturday at the Staining Center. Do join
29:26
us for that if you possibly can. And Charles very briefly, Juliana Sanje,
29:33
Yes, it's just a quick one. Today the Odeon Cinema is sharing
29:37
the trustful the documentary film about the case of Julian Massange. And the important
29:42
detail is that I believe Odion Cinema will continue to run the film if attendance
29:47
today is high, not so. If you're able to get to get down
29:49
to an odion today to see this film which is in me today the eighth
29:52
of May. Then please do and please spread the word brilliant. Thank you,
29:57
No Vanessa, let's come ba back to you. And what's the litterst
30:00
from Rafa? Yeah, from Darza, but particularly from Rafa that is now
30:07
on the trap by as well. This was a photo taken from Twitter the
30:11
account of Lord Naim who was in god the one year ago to visit her
30:17
family and took this very tearful photo of herself arriving at the basically the kind
30:23
of you know, the entry sector in Rafa. And then a video of
30:30
iOS thanks basically entering the same crossing yesterday. If we can display the video
31:03
and just to show basically how the Israeli forces entered into that rapa border crossing
31:10
from occupied territory into the kind of the northwest sorry southwest area of Draza.
31:18
And let's have a look at what this dreadful man has said about it Meta
31:23
Yahoo. So just moving on to the next slide. So basically he said
31:27
that the entry in tar Rafa serves two of the main objectives of the war,
31:33
returning our hostages and eliminating Hamas, and I'm sure that's why the US
31:37
was allowed to detO every single base fire that was not in the interests of
31:42
the hostages. And he also said at the same time was continuing the war
31:48
on Hamas, but taking up the Rafah crossing today is a very important that's
31:52
on the way to destroying Hamasa's remaining military capabilities, including the elimination of the
31:57
four terrorists battalion in Rappa, and an important steps damaging Hamas's governing capabilities.
32:05
Of course, what he's talking about is potentially the control of the entire border
32:08
section, which in the view of Israel, will prevent the illegal importing of
32:16
weapons and supplies to Hamas. But you know, we know that every time
32:21
Israel says it's destroyed Hamas battalions, when the IOF evacuates, then immediately Hamas
32:29
is back in those areas and firing rockets at the occupied territory. Now interesting
32:34
here that, of course, what he's intimating in his comment is that Hamas
32:40
are preventing the release of the hostages. But this is from Middle East eye.
32:45
Meanwhile, Washington and Arab capitals were dealing with the fallout of Hammas actually
32:50
accepting the cease fire proposal introduced by CAPA and Egypt on Monday, as Israel
32:55
rejects the offer and pursues its offensive, So Israel is clearly not acting in
33:00
the interests of the hostagism. In fact, it's reported that one of the
33:05
hostages was killed yesterday in the Ziona's bombing of Rafa. This is from Gaza
33:10
journalist Montessen Altlul. The US asked Hamas to accept the Feapar proposal, claiming
33:16
its refusal is the only obstacle ahead of ending the genocide in Gaza. Hamas
33:22
accepted the Sea Square. Israeli occupation rejected the proposal. The US said that
33:28
Hamas underlined the proposal and has to make more concessions having accepted the proposal,
33:35
Now, I just wanted to show this was a video that was released yesterday
33:37
of IOF forces preparing to destroy Rafa, just to give an indication of the
33:43
mentality of the Israeli forces on the ground in Gaza. If we can display
33:47
that video and then let's have a look at the effects of the io targeting
34:39
with artillery and airplanes, bombing, jet bombing of Eastern Wrapper. Leaflets were
34:47
basically dropped telling people to evacuate on units. On units, however, is
34:52
completely destroyed. There are no services, no electricity and no water. And
34:58
yet people were the in eastern Rafa to try and make it to some kind
35:02
of safe area. I actually spoke friends of mine and they said, we
35:07
really don't know where to go. There is nowhere to go now, we
35:12
have no escape whatsoever. And then there's a short section on a bombing of
35:16
a house in eastern It is distressing viewing, I warn people, So if
35:22
we can just play this video in that family or nine were killed, three
36:05
survived that were very badly injured. UN agencies are putting out the message,
36:10
of course that this is a crime against humanity, as if it hasn't been
36:14
a crime against humanity since the seventh of October, six hundred thousand children in
36:20
line of fire. As the IDF moves on Rafa, we had already run
36:24
out of words to describe how catastrophic the situation is in Rafa, but this
36:29
next chapter will take it to indescribable new level. This is a statement from
36:35
Senior Hamas, which is the government in Gaza official and spokesperson Osrama Hamdan.
36:40
We will not accept any deal under military pressure. We do not accept.
36:45
This is after they had accepted the ceasefire deal. By the way, we
36:50
do not accept any occupation force at the Rafa crossing, which will remain a
36:53
Palestinian Egyptian crossing only if the aggression continues, there will be no ceasefire there.
37:00
Israeli armies invasion of the Rappa crossing is a crime and a dangerous escalation
37:05
against the civilian facility protected by international or very true, the Israeli armies invasion
37:10
of the Rappa crossing is a blatant accept sorry to sabotage the efforts of the
37:15
mediators to achieve an agreement to end the aggressions against our people, and that
37:21
of course includes release of the hostages. And as I warned last week,
37:24
guess what the US has just completed the so called humanitarian aids peer. Bad
37:31
weather is preventing the final putting in place of the various sections as the PEER
37:37
that coincides with the escalation against Rafa one point two million refugees inside Graffa.
37:47
So clearly it's to a degree coming true what I said that the US and
37:52
the UK will potentially be there to take refugees to Europe or to other countries
37:59
that they basically be paid to accept those refugees, and that includes Egypt.
38:04
Yes, okay, thank you very much for that, Vanessa, No,
38:07
Charles, let's come back to the UK and the Association of Police and Crime
38:12
Commissioners. There's been an election there has with a very thin veneer of democracy
38:20
laid over the top of it. But yes, the APCC, they're talking
38:22
about the role of the PCC. So just to recap what pccs are for
38:29
started in twenty twelve. The government say that they're responsible for the way the
38:34
area is police, the police budget, the amount of council tax charge the
38:37
police, and the information you get about what local police are doing. So
38:40
that's important. We'll come back to that later. But interesting of course to
38:44
note that they've determined both the budget and the amount that's drawn from council tax
38:49
so the elections. It just goes to show how in effect since twenty twelve
38:52
the situation has been manipulated for an almost exclusively sort of uniparty Labor Conservatives up
39:00
with one exception of applied Cumbery seat in West Wales, but there were six
39:06
only six independent candidates standing, of which none got through and past the reason
39:12
for this is that in twenty twenty three, the Electoral Commission changed the voting
39:15
system in order that it's now first past the post, which it hadn't been
39:20
previously, and this very much reduces the chances of a non mainstream party candidates
39:28
managing to actually be selected. The Institute for Government have put forward a piece
39:35
on this Local Elections twenty twenty four, and they talk specifically about the sort
39:39
of history of it, saying that when these elections were first held in twenty
39:44
twelve to twelve independent pccs were elected and in twenty sixteen three, so it's
39:47
obviously been a great deterioration, if that's the way you look at it.
39:52
Of course, at that time many of those had prior experience in the criminal
39:55
justice system, which you could say is a problem that we are well rid
40:00
of. Although it's very difficult to know which way to look at this.
40:05
Nonetheless, we shall. The APCC guidance about the conducts during the pre election
40:10
period, which they refer to as PERDNA, goes back to twenty twenty one,
40:15
and they specifically talk about officials not using their public office for political purposes,
40:22
and in particular they should not use information in support of their campaign which
40:24
is not publicly available to other candidates. Now I've been speaking to Don Gerard
40:30
of the Justice and Anti Corruption Party who contested the PCC election in Hampshire and
40:36
polled forty thousand votes. And also I should point out on results we've been
40:40
following the candidacy of Matthew Randolph in Gloucestershire who from a standing start polled fifteen
40:47
thousand votes as an independent candidate. But just to return to Hampshire, we'll
40:52
look at the PCC there Donna Jones and there is hot controversy highlighted here Piddsfield
41:00
post paid for article in which she is seen on the eighth of March wearing
41:06
a campaign rosette whilst on official business. This leaflet went out with the council
41:13
tax flyer, and I refer back to what the Government said about the PCC
41:17
informing the public about what the police is up to, that there's no specific
41:22
requirement for the information on what the Police and Crime Commission is up to.
41:25
So again this went out to eight hundred thousand households. The questions being asked
41:30
are who paid for it? And is it a statement of fact or is
41:32
it election campaigning. So this has been taken to the Electoral Commission, who
41:37
have said that they are unable to do anything about it. But of course
41:39
it should go back to the police. Now, the problem with that is
41:44
that a police complaint goes to the IOPC, the Independent Office for Public Conduct,
41:49
and of course when you submit a complaint what happens to it your complaint
41:53
is sent directly to the police force or organization concern for them to consider.
41:58
So in this specific situation, a PCC in effect has to mark their own
42:01
homework. Now as luck would have it or bad luck would have it.
42:07
Donna Jones, who I've just been speaking about, is in fact the chair
42:09
of the APCC, which is perhaps nothing short of extraordinary. And I just
42:15
follow that up by saying that the Fraud Act two thousand and six has contained
42:20
within it section four. The provisions within say that the breach of the section
42:28
is constituted if he dishonestly abuses that position and intends, by means of the
42:34
abuse of that position to make a gain for himself or another. Now,
42:37
with PCC salaries being in the region of eighty to ninety thousand pounds a year,
42:43
that is looking like an interesting scenario, and one certainly that we will
42:46
be following up on, because of course the pccs are in a position not
42:51
only to be able to fend off allegations of corruption in their own backyard,
42:55
but also corruption elsewhere. To Charles, I'm finding this interesting. The PCC
43:05
role was supposed to be independent of the police, certainly, but surely it
43:09
was originally intended to be independent of government as well. I mean it's supposed
43:13
to because policing is not just about the operation of boots on the ground.
43:17
It's also the implementation of government policy exactly, so, which is really why
43:25
I draw attention to the fact that the Electoral commission have changed the nature of
43:30
the system in order that it's skewed very much against the possibility of an independent
43:34
candidate getting a foot in the door. So yes, I mean, it
43:37
seems to be the exactly opposite outcome of what was intended. And now there's
43:42
no regard given to where that sort of sends police and what the rail of
43:46
police really is and how that's shaped through the false priorities and all the other
43:52
things that the police and Crime Commissioner can have influence over. Yes, Okay,
43:55
well, let's move on there to private prosecutions. Yeah, absolutely,
44:00
and this does follow neatly in the sort of central question is what do police
44:05
actually do these days? And we'll just sorry, just go back one slide
44:09
reported here by The Telegraph that there's been a first in a private prosecution for
44:15
a case of burglary. Now the specifics of the case are not especially noteworthy,
44:19
perhaps, but this is being conducted by an organization called TMI shown here
44:23
with their Prolific Crimes Team, and they describe themselves as being at the forefront
44:28
of carrying out criminal investigations, culminating in private criminal prosecutions for those who deal
44:34
in illicit goods, so specifically sort of shoplifting and theft. But they what
44:40
they really highlight is that they will deal with these offenses whether the police or
44:45
the CPS will not do so. Now, the CPS was formed in nineteen
44:49
eighty six and essentially found that middle ground between police and the court, so
44:54
it wasn't really that long ago. And what they have to say about private
45:00
prosecutions is that they're conducted by people who are not acting on behalf of the
45:05
police or another prosecuting authority, and the right to bring private prosecutions has certain
45:12
limitations, and these are critical. Underneath the Prosecution of Offenses Act nineteen eighty
45:16
five, the defense sorry the Director of Public Prosecutions DPP has power under section
45:22
six to take over private prosecutions. Now, when one considers what happened when
45:28
kir Starmer was DPP and Jimmy Savile was under investigation, that is worth considering.
45:35
They go on to say that the fact that a private prosecution succeeds is
45:38
not an indication that the case should have been prosecuted by the CPS, and
45:43
indeed there are instances where it is appropriate for the CPS to exercise the director's
45:47
power, either to continue the prosecution or to discontinue or stop it. Now,
45:57
going back to what police are doing, we're looking at the funding and
46:01
we see on the right hand column twenty twenty four funding's gone up to seventeen
46:06
point six billion, but the government are declaring at the same time that they
46:08
plan to save thirty eight million hours of police time. Sounds like a work
46:15
of fiction, but nonetheless, in response to the Policing Productivity Review. Of
46:20
course, what they're really doing is saying they want to be using more technology,
46:23
so they're talking about live facial recognition and drones that will be used as
46:28
first responders. Now, my reaction to that sort of having had first out
46:31
experience of it, is that that sounds like a complete waste of time,
46:35
money, and effort. But they go on to talk about knife detection and
46:40
artificial intelligence, so effects forally another complete over alliance on technology, including automatic
46:46
redaction and translation. Now that there is a case for that redaction takes an
46:52
incredibly long time, very very inefficient process, but to use AI it's probably
46:57
not necessarily the only possibility there. And then they end with an amazing conditional
47:04
by saying that if just five hundred thousand office hours will saved, the review
47:07
estimates that officers in England could attend an additional two hundred and fifty thousand incidents
47:13
of domestic abuse or over three hundred thousand burglaries. Now, the point to
47:20
consider here is what really are the police for. And over recent years we've
47:23
seen them enforce COVID restrictions when there was absolutely no operational requirement to do so,
47:29
to give two tier policing when it comes to protests against or in favor
47:34
of Black Lives matter, on trans issues, and a whole host of other
47:37
things besides, particularly in the Israel Palestine situation at the minute, so it
47:43
very much looks like real sort of criminal prosecutions are looking towards being privatized.
47:47
But of course this is bearing in mind those specific limitations where the Director of
47:52
Public Prosecutions is able to stop anything that is in effect not politically expedient.
47:59
Yeah, thank you for that. Now we will move on to online safety
48:02
briefly. So if we just put this on screen, because this is the
48:07
graphic that Ofcom has put up for their litst release, which is entitled tech
48:10
Firms must take tim sorry, tech firms must tim toxic algorithms to protect children
48:15
online. And the graphic that they've chosen, the photograph that they've chosen is
48:20
of a toddler. And of course when we come to look at the actual
48:24
text of this, they're not talking about toddlers, so they are giving the
48:29
image to children are toddlers, But then we're talking about older children in fact.
48:32
So they're calling this a reset for children's safety. The Online Safety Act,
48:37
they say, I post a strict new duties on services can be accessed
48:39
by children, including popular social media sites and apps and search engines. I
48:44
would make the point that social media in their terms and conditions say very clearly
48:50
that children under the age of thirteen are not allowed to access those and the
48:53
Online Safety Act requires the services to enforce their terms and conditions. So it's
49:01
going to be very interesting. I'm not quite sure how that works with the
49:05
graphic that they showed, but they said that our draft codes, if we
49:08
put that up, are much greater use. Sorry, expect much greater use
49:12
of highly effective edge assurance so that services know which of their users are children
49:16
in order to keep them safe. And this is the bottom line here.
49:20
This is ushering in digital identity because they are going to have to require social
49:25
media companies to check the edge of the people using the service. And of
49:30
course that will just apply to children, because how the social media companies know
49:35
that the person is a child and therefore needs to be challenged on their age,
49:37
they will be challenging everybody on their edge. The report goes on to
49:42
say this, under our proposals, any service which operates a recommender system that's
49:45
an algorithm that is a higher risk of harmful content must also use highly effective
49:52
age assurance to identify who their child users are. As to say, they
49:54
can only do that if they're challenging everybody, and they produce this nice little
49:59
graphic to tell exactly what the services are going to have to do. This
50:06
is ushering in digital idea, of course. N Charles back to you then,
50:12
and we're looking at AI in cars. We are, although sort of
50:20
to follow your segment, really we're not particularly looking at AI, and we're
50:22
not really particularly looking at cars. We're looking at what this enables. But
50:25
yes yesterday the government announced through the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology that
50:30
there's a one billion pound investment into what they're calling AI for self driving cars.
50:37
If you can imagine that this is the AI, the Wave AI tweeted
50:42
here by Michelle donnohan who spent some time there with Rishie Sunak looking at the
50:47
kit on offer. Now. Wave themselves, of course are very keen to
50:52
put forward their safety credentials, and they talk about the system learning to predict
50:58
and adapt in order that they embed safety into AI's core, which of course
51:02
is written by humans building an emergency response safety reflex. So there are a
51:08
number of concerns that come out from this, which we won't have time to
51:12
go into all of today. That the scientific American went back a couple of
51:15
years twenty twenty two, asking the very reasonable question who is liable when AI
51:21
killed? And in order to run this through, they used an example from
51:25
twenty eighteen when a pedestrian was killed by a self drive uber vehicle. Now,
51:30
driver error was an issue, but the AI failed to detect the pedestrian.
51:35
Of course, there's so many other mistakes that could be made with catastrophic
51:39
consequences. An AI based mental health chatbot encourage a simulated suicidal patient to take
51:45
our own life, female resume applicants of being discriminated against, and in one
51:50
particularly dramatic case, an AI algorithm misidentified a suspect in an aggravated assault.
51:55
And yet people are still banging the drum for AI. Now. The other
52:00
the thing I want to bring to your attention is a geofence, which you
52:04
may not necessarily have heard of, But this is from the Verizon and it
52:07
describes a geofence as being a virtual fence or a perimeter around a physical location.
52:12
Like a real fence, a geofence creates a separation between that location and
52:15
the area around it, unlike a real fence. Geofencing technology can also detect
52:22
movement of mobile devices inside the virtual boundary. So when I said it wasn't
52:25
really about cars, what I meant is that cars are now really being recategorized
52:30
as mobile devices. And the government have been putting content out about this for
52:35
a couple of years at least. First of all, the Geospatial Commission with
52:40
dcit finding the way forward location data to enable connected and automated mobility, and
52:46
they talk specifically about regulating vehicle behavior, but of course in a driverless car,
52:51
it's not the vehicle behavior really talking about the behavior of people and in
52:55
particular enforcing transport related regulations. And here we go. Geofencing will play an
53:01
important role in optimizing the early deployment of self driving vehicles, which is exactly
53:07
what government's talking about yesterday and today. Indeed, there was a competition back
53:10
in twenty twenty two in which optimizing geofencing talk again about changing behavior and how
53:16
geospatial data can be used to reduce emissions. So in effect, just engaging
53:21
with a particular narrative and then nudging people's behavior in a particular direction, which
53:25
of course puts us in mind of the behavioral insights teams exactly the sort of
53:30
area in which they have been working and will work now. In America,
53:34
they've been ahead of this, and we see from the Tenth Amendment Center the
53:37
California Assembly passed a bill to restrict location tracking via geo fencing, and this
53:44
was in twenty twenty three. They're not the only state to have done it,
53:46
but they point out that the technique allows police to search broad areas and
53:52
identify every electronic device in the area. It's an incredible surveillance tool and the
53:58
use of Google Location day to engage in massive fishing expeditions and subject hundreds,
54:02
if not thousands of innocent people to police location tracking. Now, this really
54:07
is the issue at hand, and if you think that you're not going to
54:12
be subject to it, you might have to think again when you go outside
54:15
and look at your car, because this is just an example. From the
54:17
home edi website, they talk about their Blue Links safeguard alerts and they specifically
54:23
have a geofence alert, which is a feature. Of course, they suggest
54:28
it's to your advantage. It allows you to set boundaries for allowed areas and
54:31
restricted areas for your vehicle to drive. You will be notified if your vehicle
54:36
exits an allowed area or enters a restricted area. Now it's not beyond the
54:42
bounds of possibility to imagine that it might not necessarily be you that's setting the
54:46
allowed or the restricted areas. So as I say, this is not really
54:51
about cars, and it's not really about AIS is an awful lot about control
54:54
and surveillance and probably watching the direction. This goes in with a fair idea
55:00
what it's going to be, and of course it would remove the need for
55:02
you les cameras I suspect, but we will talk about more, talk more
55:07
about this in extra Vanessa. Let's come back to you and well we want
55:10
to talk about the lovely hemmage to Breton Gordon. Yes, hey, mister
55:15
Breton Gordon, the go to for the Telegraph and the BBC and every single
55:22
mainstream media out for shill chemical weapons fiction. I would say, so this
55:31
was a headline in the Telegraph. I've seen firsthand how deadly Putin's chemical weapons
55:37
can be. To Breton Gordon with a very stylized image on the front of
55:45
that article. And then let's have a look at what he says in the
55:47
article. I don't recommend reading it. It's really utterly pointless. With the
55:53
Statesman of the West busy trying to avoid escalations. I would disagree Putin and
56:00
his gangster threaten on an almost daily basis Russia as hoodwinked our leaders into ignoring
56:07
the chemical threat. It's clear to me that over the last twelve months Russian
56:10
forces have been using chemical weapons on an industrial scale and with great effects,
56:16
and they are making tangible games across the front. And I'm sure that's the
56:20
only reason they're making tangible grains across the front when hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians
56:27
have been sent to their deaths. Now, what does these ends say?
56:30
This did actually kind of really make me giggle at the end of the article.
56:35
So one third of the article is basically pushing gas masks. It is
56:39
very clear what our government should do now the weapons put in as using our
56:44
potent only for minutes. You don't need fancy suits or boots and gloves protect
56:47
against them, just a decent gas mask. Why did this make me laugh?
56:52
Well, if we move on, this is in wikis books, but
56:57
I mean it's registered pretty much everywhere on information on the Brettnan Gordon. He
57:04
previously had a company called Secure Bio and then later another company called Avon both
57:09
of which manufactured gas masks. He doesn't mention that the company, which I
57:15
think is Secure Bio, was dissolved in August twenty seventeen with sets of over
57:22
seven hundred and fifteen thousand, But you do actually see him pushing the gas
57:27
mask pr in Syria also, And then I would recommend everybody looks at the
57:34
Berlin Group twenty one pdf on the chemical weapon attacks in Syria, or rather
57:42
than non chemical weapon attacks in Syria. And this is back in when was
57:46
this in twenty thirteen. He's Robinson who has been instrumental in exposing both the
57:52
corruption of the OTCW and the fabrication as chemical weapon attacks in Syria to of
57:59
course justify foreign intervention led by the US and the UK. So he talked
58:06
about the problem of unreliable evidence and manipulated reports has been ubiquitous throughout For example,
58:12
in twenty thirteen, prior to GUTA, British allegations were based upon covert
58:16
MI six operations involving a former British military officer, Homers Breton Gordon. The
58:22
subsequent joint UN OPCW investigation stated that Shape Macswood could not be corroborated and so
58:31
an MI six sample gathering operation in conjunction with Anthony Lloyd Sorry, who of
58:37
course was the author that we reported as having falsely declared that he had interviewed
58:45
hosful our operatives very early on in the conflicts with Israel since October the seventh
58:51
for the time, So doubling up there. And this was followed up,
58:55
of course by various media outlets, including the New York Time. US accuses
59:00
Russia of using chemical weapons in Ukraine. The State Department said Russia who's used
59:07
forro picked in in various instances and more stiolized photographs throughout the NYT article.
59:15
Fuddly enough, the Western Corrupted OPCW, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical
59:22
Weapons itself, said there is an insufficient claim of chemical weapons use in Ukraine,
59:30
and of course it's been very strenuously denied by the Russian State Department.
59:37
Yes, thank you, Vanessa, thank you. Now we're going to just
59:39
finish with a lighter topic, because maybe we could describe this as a chemical
59:45
weapon in its own sense. But I just wanted to highlight this because this
59:47
is the Department for Energy, Nets Security and Netzerial who are busy getting very
59:53
excited about carbon capture and storage. So I'm just going to read the first
59:57
paragraph of their press releasellions of tons of captured carbon dioxide could be transported via
1:00:04
road, rail, barge or ship, revolutionizing the way it reaches offshore storage
1:00:08
sites, helping more businesses cut emissions. So they're even talking about importing carbon
1:00:15
dioxide from other countries so it can be pumped under the sea off the coast
1:00:22
of the UK. Because the best thing that we can do with the books
1:00:25
productive way that we can create jobs is to carry out is to transport air
1:00:32
from one place to another, so it can be pumped into a hole in
1:00:37
the ground, well under the sea. So they have started a consultation on
1:00:44
This is the headline if you want to go looking for at CCUS. That's
1:00:47
carbon captured storage, non pipeline transport and cross border CO two Network's call for
1:00:53
evidence, So they're wanting evidence from individuals and organizations that might be interested in
1:00:59
this. I would suggest the best evidence that they could be given is a
1:01:04
call to stop this nonsense. It is unbelievable, but don't worry, it's
1:01:09
gonna maintain fifty thousand jobs in the UK. So what more can we ask
1:01:14
for right. We've gotta leave it there for today. Thank you very much
1:01:17
to Vanessa and Charles for joining us today. Thank you all for watching.
1:01:22
We'll be back in a few minutes for some extra and we have some video
1:01:25
which might shock a few people. We'll see you then, by right.
