Good afternoon and welcome to UK Column News.
Today is Monday the 7th of April 2025, just after 1:00.
I'm your host, Brian Garish and delighted to have with me in the
studio Ben Rubin. And we've got Diane Rasmussen
Mckelly joining us by live video link.
What a day. And viewers today get a glimpse
of a wonderful outlook on Plymouth Sound with blue sea,
blue sky and a lot of sunshine. So really lovely backdrop today,
which we're delighted to have. Now we're going to get started
right away with the subject we've talked about before, which
is the rapidly approaching state crackdown on free speech.
And this is something that if we don't tackle this properly, then
UK column itself is under grave threat because there is no doubt
the agenda is for the British state to control all press and
media. Over to you, Ben.
Thank you, Brian. Hey, everyone.
And we're going to pick up on a theme that we were exploring
last week and actually not just last week.
We talked about this all the time and it is the audacious
takeover of the national, regional and local news through
philanthropic funding, government intervention and an
overbearing and increasingly censorious media regulator.
Last week we were looking at this report from Demos Epistemic
Security 2029, Fortifying the UK information supply chain to
tackle the democratic emergency. Too long didn't read it.
Basically, they want more powers to censor you.
The Online Safety Act is not enough and they want more
powers. And we're going to explore that
with specific reference to something that they call news
deserts, interestingly, which is a term that emerged in this
report. We're going to look at where
that's come from. So if we go back to that and
jump to Page 30, which is about boosting our domestic
information supply chain, specifically Section 4B, I know
you all went and downloaded this, so if you've got it in
front of you, you can go and read it.
So 4B provides targeted funding to stimulate a new era of
vibrant local news in what they call news deserts.
That's what this is about. And the recommendation is for
central government to provide a funding package, blended with
other sources of funding, EG from philanthropists and big
tech funds, to help stimulate a new era of vibrant local news,
starting at £50 million a year and focusing on what they
describe as news deserts. Right.
So we've got these news deserts all around the UK and in order
to fill them, to bring them back to life, philanthropists, the
government and big tech have got to come together and inject a
load of money into this. I wonder if any of that will be
coming in our direction. I'm not, I'm not sure it comes
from this organisation. This is based on some work done
by Public Interest News Foundation who worked very
closely with Demos. They referenced 3 times in the
report and we're going to look at them and what they're all
about. So this is their website,
they've been around for five years, and obviously they're a
nonprofit, nonpartisan, purely altruistic organisation focused
on the public interest. And what does public interest
news mean? I think it's important for us to
define this given it's what we're talking about here.
Going to read this whole thing out, actually.
Remember, we'll dwell on each of these points.
So public interest news is news and other information which is
produced and disseminated to the public according to high
standards of ethical conduct and best practise in journalism and
which provides one or more of the following benefits to the
public. First one informs members of the
public about matters of relevance to their role and
responsibilities as citizens. So this is what you've got to
do. Citizen.
Yeah. Second point enables members of
local communities to become aware of and understand matters
of common concern to them as members of their community, and
which promotes their involvement and cooperation in such matters
and community cohesion accordingly.
Yeah, So you got to know what do you got to do and you got to be
cooperative with it. And you got to do it, otherwise
you're going to be in trouble. So this is direct control of
communities and individuals by the government.
Absolutely right. Third Point enables members of
the public to participate in an informed manner in relevant
democratic processes. So I'm thinking maybe citizens
assemblies are lurking behind this and as a result supports
the legitimacy of the democratic process as a whole.
That's an important one there. 4th Point benefits the public by
promoting charitable educational outcomes such as improving
public understanding of health and medical matters like
pandemics, I guess. So this is you're, you're going
to be told what you need to believe, and if you don't
believe the official narrative, you're going to be in trouble.
Absolutely all the conservation of the environment.
So that's the climate agenda, pandemics and climate in that
fourth point. Final point specifically
excludes material which is simply entertaining in nature
like UK column. We just entertainment or
politically motivated, biassed or inaccurate.
So no disinformation or which fall or which fails to observe a
person's right to privacy, right.
So those things aren't public interest news.
And apparently, according to Public Interest News Foundation,
there is a desert. There are deserts all around the
country of public interest news. And they've built this quite
impressive interactive map you can go and look at and they've
collated across the whole country where they see deserts,
spaces where there is no reliable information for
communities to access. And, and one of those actually
interesting. I've had a little look at
Plymouth. I thought we should look at
PL-1, see what's going on PL-1. And bear in mind they've looked
at all media. Yeah, this is an extraordinarily
in depth study, right. So we apparently we've got 2-3
media organisations in Plymouth, Plymouth Chronicle, Plymouth
Herald, funded by UK government. Now look at the bottom left.
This is funded by the UK government, but what's happening
in Plimpton? There's nothing happening in
Plimpton. It's.
Quite amazing. But we're seeing in Plimpton
now, Brian, why are we not on the map?
Because we're not giving the right news.
That's because we're simply entertainment purposes, aren't
we? We're not serious, right?
So apparently no UK column. There's no UK column on your
interactive map. Public interest news.
The government clearly didn't pay you enough money.
So anyway, what else are they up to other than looking at news
deserts? Well, importantly, how to fill
them? And they were commissioned by
this other organisation, the local News Commission, which is
actually just the same people. Basically.
They always do this. They set up a new independent
thing, but it's all the same people in the background.
But this local news Commission popped up towards the end of
last year, drawing on deep expertise from UK civil society,
politics, trade unions and business to shape media policy.
They Commission this report and within it they look at the
current state of media, right. So this is the media ecosystem
they've mapped out. Go download the report.
By the way, we will always provide links to these things.
You should go and read them yourself.
And this is what they call democracy in danger, right?
And you can see the key the the different coloured arrows
represent unhealthy for red, weak for yellow, or healthy for
green. And if they're thicker, that
means higher engagement. So you can see that the BBC has
got a healthy but low engagement relationship with fragile
communities at the top. Communities are fragile at the
moment because the BBC is talking to them.
You've got a fragile local news in the centre there which the
BBC is also talking to as well. So there's a just a one way
relationship between the BBC because the local news obviously
look at what the BBC is saying and then they report that and
then central government's got a bit of a role to play.
Local councils have got a weak and one way relationship with
local news, But the the big the big red flag is the top left
there. Yes, big tech, the the, the big
bad, dangerous Internet and Elon Musk and Andrew Tate and and,
and where where Dragons are, you know, out online, you know, and
that's causing fragile communities and ultimately it's
causing democracy to wither. You know, if you see there in
the top right hand corner, democracy is withering and we're
going to fix this. How are we going to fix it?
We're going to move to this model.
This is 2035. This is Democracy regenerated,
where the BBC has a much stronger and more collaborative
relationship with local news media through the Local
Democracy Reporting Scheme, which is already in place.
They want to bump that up. Central government has a more
engaged role with local news media, something called the
Civic Centre. I don't know if you clocked
that, but they've actually changed from a town hall to a
Civic Centre. So the local council is going to
be a new form of local council in this model by 2025, and the
local council is going to have a much more direct relationship
with these empowered communities at the top.
So will the community newsroom. There's a new entrant,
philanthropy. Yeah.
Centre left is going to be a lot of money and a lot of influence
coming into this ecosystem from philanthropy.
Rich people, right? This is Money and power
colluding with each other in order to take control of the
media ecosystem, in order to, as these they see it, empower
community so that democracy might flourish, Right?
What could possibly go wrong? And the big tech ecosystem has
been tamed. Yeah, We can see that it's now
been regulated and restrained and is much more trustworthy
ultimately. You know, my comment on this,
Ben, is of course the moment you let local councils loose with
news, all that's simply going to come out is more of the
mainstream political propaganda. Because of course local councils
are now highly politicised. They only follow the lead from
the controlling party. So if it's a Labour council,
it's going to be Labour propaganda and if it's a
Conservative council it's going to be Conservative propaganda.
So this is immensely dangerous. I can imagine that a Second
World War Germany would have been desperate to be able to buy
and facilitate this type of of system in order to get
propaganda to the individual 24 hours a day.
This. This is really serious stuff and
people need to understand if this architecture comes into
place. Free speech in this country?
Absolutely gone. Completely.
And guess who funded this report so well?
This actually. So who funds Public Interest
News Foundations to be absolutely on the button about
this? So Ben Goldsmith, Jimmy
Goldsmith's son. So he's in the philanthropy
bucket. DCMS.
So like the Department for Culture, Media and Sport have
funded this report, this organisation, the European Media
and Information Fund, Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust,
Illuminate, which is Daniel Sachs Foundation.
They've got money in there, open societies, Paul Hamlin, all the
usual suspects. Basically the NHS because
obviously we need to pay attention to public health
information. That was in the definition of
public interest media, wasn't it?
Right. So that's that's who's pushing
this. Yeah.
So government and philanthropy want more involvement in media.
So they funded a report to make that exact recommendation.
It's a bit circular, isn't it? Who's behind Public Interest
News Foundation? Some of the individuals.
So we've got Julius Weinberg, he's the chair, former chair of
Ofsted, interestingly for a number of years, Polly Curtis
from Demos, she's the deputy chair of this organisation.
So Demos uses Public Interest News Foundation as an external
source of recommendations to put into its report.
But actually the person who runs Demos is on the board of the
Public Interest News Foundation. It's all a bit incestuous, isn't
it? Who else?
Richard Scorer. This is a fascinating one,
right? So he's a solicitor and he ran
the independent inquiries, public inquiries into child
sexual abuse, the Manchester Arena bombing, the COVID-19
inquiry, the 3rd Wall inquiry, which is Lucy Letbe, and the
inquiry into the death of Dawn Sturgess, which is the Novichok
issue. So that man there, Scorer, he's
basically one of the primary representatives of establishment
narrative around some of the most controversial issues that
have happened in the past 20 years and he's on the trustee
board of this organisation wanting to control local news
media. Isn't that a bit odd?
But not if your agenda is total control, state control of all
media and press. Yeah, quite.
OK, So this is these are the trustees.
So these are non execs essentially.
Let's have a look at a few of the exec team again.
Go and look at the website yourself.
First one, Jonathan Hayward, he is the executive director,
former editor of the Fabian Review.
That's his big claim to fame. So Fabian's right in the mix.
He was. He's also a leadership fellow at
Saint George's House in Windsor. So, so nestled up right next to
the royal family. Jowdeep Katwala, he's the
network manager, former BBC Channel 4 UN, you get the
picture. And then the girl on the end
there is a fascinating 1 Samir Padania.
So he's involved with Open Society Foundations, the Welcome
Trust with Nestor and also the International Fund for Public
Interest Media that I spoke about about a month ago, I think
it was when Mark Thompson is on the board, right?
So this is a local news, but he's linked right up into the
stratosphere in the in the global ecosystem around this.
And he's also a trustee of something called the Indigo
Trust. And if you remember this bloke,
William Perrin OBE last week, the guy that helped found Demos,
not demos found Ofcom, sorry, worked for Blair.
He's got a thing called the Indigo Trust that he's actually
a founder of that guy Pedania. He's a trustee of that trust.
So this is all just can interconnected.
It's just all the same page, just one thing.
Yeah. And it gets presented as as many
things extraordinarily corrupt. Yeah.
And dishonest. Yeah.
It's the they're lying to us, frankly, about their intentions
and their methods. How?
The system works, but it's a revolving door.
Yeah, and you've got one more here, I think.
Yeah, I do indeed, just very quickly just to to look at how
this is actually coming to life in practise.
So this is a case study from the Public Interest News Foundation
website aboutipswich.co.uk and I'll just pull out two quotes
from the article. Ipswich doesn't need more
journalism, it needs change. And also 22 organisations fund
our journalism through an annual fee.
We call this a common purpose, Levy, I think says quite a bit.
That's just going to be a coincidence, I think, Ben.
Well, let's move across to the so called mainstream or better
known as the legacy media. And of course for many people
through that letterbox dropped to Sunday Mail yesterday.
Let's have a look at the front page.
It says that Labour's Dan Norris, suspended by party
chiefs of the police, swoop on his West Country constituency
home. Stormer robbed his MP held in
rape and child abuse probe. Now The thing is that front page
goes to Labour's Dan Norris, but nothing about Dolphin Square
child abuse, which I understand is stalled at the moment in the
Daily Mail editorial queue. But thankfully smaller outlets
that do exist have been doing some good work in the
background. And although we have known about
this for a while, it's only been now that it was appropriate for
us to point you to your your local guardian.
And there is an address there on the the on screen image so that
you can find it where the headline was.
What do we know for sure about the Elm Guest House scandal?
Now, this was a guest house where men were going not only
for homosexual sex, but children were involved and in the mix.
A lot of people involved with the police and indeed the
security services. But this local reporter, Charles
Thompson, has produced an absolute fantastic obstacle.
And I'm going to encourage people to go and see it.
But it includes some excerpts from documents.
Here's the Met Police total policing, and it's talking about
the way people were behaving in this particular accommodation.
They were watching homosexual pornographic videos.
And it gets very mucky indeed in some of these.
So I'm not going to go into huge detail in today's news except to
say go and read the detail because this is about the sexual
abuse of principally young boys. But my point is that whilst the
Mail on Sunday is printing a front page about Dan Norris MP,
the in the the role of the state and the Metropolitan Police and
indeed an MI 5 agent in respect to their own guest house and the
subsequent cover up that goes unreported.
Now, there was a second report by this same man, Charles
Thompson. He says that the IOPC won't
publish the Elm Guest House police officer statements.
So it's well known now that there are a lot of statements by
police that have not been brought forward and put in front
of the public. Why not now?
Because there's a very big cover up by the one of the police
watchdogs. So if we have a look at some
comment from the article, it says a police watchdog has
refused to release documents about a paedophile ring
investigation despite publicly relying on them to dismiss
serious corruption allegations. And that's corruption in the
police. The Independent Office for
Police Conduct has suppressed witness statements gathered in
its reinvestigation of the notorious Elm Guest House, a
Richmond brothel. That's a homosexual brothel
where a national inquiry ruled in 2020 that child sexual abuse
took place. So if we have a look at this
organisation, of course they're they've got a glowing website
about how good they are. We're the Independent Office for
Police Conduct. We are the Police Complaints.
What watchdog for England and Wales.
We're not the police. We are completely independent.
Well, we'll see about that in a minute.
We investigate the most serious complaints and conduct matters
involving the police and we set the standards by which the
police should handle complaints. And of course they like to say,
as usual, that their vision is that everybody is able to have
trust and confidence in the police.
But it's very clear this organisation is helping the
cover up of key evidence, including key evidence from
police officers demonstrating that children, especially very
young boys, were raped and seriously sexually abused in our
guest house. But they don't want this coming
to the surface. Let's just have a look at a
little video clip of the IOPC bigging up itself and its role.
Following a series of scandals involving the Metropolitan
Police and criticism of a perceived lack of independence
in the existing complaints process, the Police Complaints
Board was created by an Act of Parliament in June 1977.
The 1981 Brixton riots and the Scarman Report on allegations of
racism in the police led to pressure to reform the Police
Complaints Board as part of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act
1984. The board was replaced by the
Police Complaints Authority in April 1985.
Following the murder of Stephen Lawrence in April 1993, public
confidence in policing was again questioned, So William
Mcpherson's public inquiry into Stephen's murder called for the
creation of a new independent watchdog to oversee and
investigate Police Complaints. In addition, a study in 2000 by
Liberty, the human rights organisation, argued for an
independent body to investigate Police Complaints.
This was followed by the Police Reform Act of 2002, which, among
other policing changes, replaced the Police Complaints Authority
with a completely independent investigatory body.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission became
operational in 2004 and replaced the Police Complaints Authority.
It had greater powers and its own team of investigators to
probe the most serious incidents.
The IPCC had doubled in size between 2013 and 2018 and
structural changes were needed to better suit a much expanded
organisation. In January 2018, the IPCC became
the Independent Office for Police Conduct.
In 2020, the police complaint system was reformed to make it
simpler and more effective. The IOPC received new powers,
including the ability to investigate without a referral
from a police force. A greater emphasis was placed on
taking the learning from complaints to help improve
policing practise overall. So a mind blowing little video
and of course music or a throbbing beat in the background
to destroy your brain as you watch it.
But let's look at some of the people involved in this
pernicious, so called independent organisation.
And the person I'll focus in on is Rachel Watson, who was
appointed Director General of the organisation in April 2024.
Independent. Ben, if we have a look at what
they say about themselves, that Rachel has significant public
service experience having worked in the heart of government for
more than 20 years. This includes A decade working
at the Home Office where she was policing director for five
years. So somebody who has been part of
the system that has failed is then brought forward to so
called police, the police in their failings to date.
This can't be accidental. Now in the UK column event on
Saturday, when we were talking about the deep state and indeed
the failings of the deep state, one of the points that I made to
the audience was effectively that our security services keep
telling us they're listening to us to keep us safe.
But if we start to look at the agencies themselves and what
their key people do, we learn something rather different.
So this is from the Secret Intelligence Service website
where they're talking about Sir Richard Moore, the 17th so
called sea. And what he has to say is that
he's there to help preserve the rules based international
system. So they didn't know anything
about the widespread abuse of children, including in our guest
house where personnel from MI five were reported at the time
as being present. They simply didn't know any of
this was going on. Now at the time, UK column
reported heavily on what was going on with guest house,
including Cyril Smith, high ranking police, a leading
tycoon, a National Front member, Sinn Fein Royal household
official, an MI, five officer, pop stars and originally some of
the former spies in this country.
And the other thing we pointed out is the people warning about
this abuse were ultimately threatened by Special Branch.
So I'm going to say this is a big thing in the background and
it is coming to the surface. But of course, the other thing
the column reported on was the cover up of this abuse by David
Cameron's Conservative government.
One of the things to note in this very busy diagram is NSPC.
Sorry NNSPCC. And that links back into the
front page of the Mail report. And that Labour MP reads the
article to understand why. But also, of course, what we're
seeing here is the abuse of young children in Dolphin
Square, where there was also a massive cover up, but apparent,
excuse me, apparently the Metropolitan Police and our
security services don't know anything about it.
Now just to end the segment by a little bit of focus back on the
failure of the established media.
If we have a look at just one of the internal pages from That
Sunday Mail, it is complete comic.
We've got a mixture of a lovely story about the king.
We've got crass politics being mixed with cheap films, we've
got Elton John and Loose Women and we've got a headline about a
nervous British company called Land Rover.
But of course you have to read the article to understand it's
not British, it's Indian. And of course, this is where it
takes everybody is a double page spread where we are accused of
having the problems, the mental health problems because of
things we've done wrong. When in fact what the Daily Mail
is doing by printing this dross, in my opinion, is absolutely
attacking people's minds. Now, Diane, welcome to today's
News. And one of the things that we'd
like to stress to our audience is that aside from the videos
that go out, the news programmes and the interviews, there's a
huge amount of information in the articles.
And today you wanted to draw people's attention to some of
those articles. Welcome.
Yes, hello, Brian, Hello Ben. It's good to be here today even
though I'm still quite tired from the weekend.
The first thing that I want to point out is a section on
sexualisation and indoctrination of children.
And I'll be going through some other articles and some other
reporting that we've been doing in our written articles later in
the news. But as the sort of the new
editor for written material on the UK Common website, I do want
to say there's quite a bit out there going back years and
years, well before we were even producing videos and and
interviews. So what I wanted to say first of
all, is that there has been several pieces of, of, I guess
you could say several parts of this whole story of
sexualization of children, which I've been covering for some time
and will continue to do so until it goes away.
And one of these that have been put out most recently has
included, for example, articles from Martin Edwards on the, what
he calls education subjugation, particularly focusing on Wales
and Hugh McCarthy in Northern Ireland.
Now, of course, these all line up together because they are all
following the same globalist policy, which I'm going to talk
about here just in just a minute.
Huge three part series is called What they didn't want to hear
the continued sexualization of our children.
Part 1 of the series considered the wider issues affecting
education. What is education for exactly?
And what we're seeing more and more in the schools is that
they're going away from teaching subjects such as geography,
maths, reading, and going into social emotional learning,
sexualization of children that like I said, and all about
feelings, all about relationships, all about these
things that are not the things that we would think children
should be learning and how to do things and how to learn things
and how to think. So that was Part 1, Part 2,
considered the promotion of gender ideology.
And in this one he went specifically into globalist
policies, particularly from the World Health Organisation.
And that so we're seeing from The Who that they're telling us
what children around the world must be taught.
And just to quote a little bit from the article, which quotes
directly from the policy, is that their approach to sexuality
on children is summed up by this statement, which is then the the
policy documents a child is understood to be a sexual being
from the beginning. The guidance that's given for
children ages 6 to 9 recommends A curriculum concept which
includes sexual intercourse, gender orientation, sexual
behaviour of young people, enjoyment and pleasure when
touching a woman's body, including masturbation and
orgasm. For ages 9 to 12, the content
includes again, pleasure, masturbation, orgasm, how to
enjoy sexuality in an appropriate way, their first
sexual experience. So for ages 9 to 12.
Part 3 summarises parental rights.
And in Northern Ireland in particular, they're, they're a
bit fortunate because it's in their law within their developed
nation that parents have the right to say what doesn't, does
not go into the curriculum. We don't have that right
explicitly in the other three devolved nations in the UK.
And he asked a question in this article that parents frequently
asked, which is how did we get to this point in the 1st place?
And I would argue that it goes back to again, that right now
the globalist policy that they're saying all over the
world, we should be doing this to think about.
I want to go a little bit deeper into what he covered in Part 3,
which is kind of the background to what we call gender affirming
care. Or as I some people I've seen
same even more directly genital affirming care rather than
gender. And if we go back to a professor
called Tiala, she is an adolescent psychiatrist at
Tempura University in Finland. And she talked about how she
went back on her previous work where she came up with was part
of the group that came across this protocol just called the
Dutch protocol for gender affirming care for young people.
So what she said in just a couple of years ago, she said
that she knows now gender affirming care is dangerous.
I know because I helped pioneer it.
My country and others found that there's no solid evidence
supporting the medical transitioning of young people.
And this of course goes along with the cast review in the UK,
which came directly as a commissioned report from the NHS
in England. And a lot of people are still
saying it's transphobic and so on.
But what's happening is that what what he points out is that
the previous work is now dated, that it's based on research that
is out of date. It's flawed, has problems and
countries around the world and clinicians and so on.
And, and the the parents who are letting their children mutilate
their bodies before they even turn 16 or 18 years old is based
on research that is no longer in date.
It goes back to you. For example, the 2011 paper
which was in the child and adolescent Psychiatric Clinics
of North American Journal. And this goes into the Dutch
protocol saying that in the Netherlands, gender dysphoric
adolescents may be eligible for puberty suppression at age 12,
hormone treatment at age 16, cross sex hormone treatment and
gender reassignment surgery at 18.
And it goes through the various steps from the psychological
interventions all the way up to the the medical mutilation, do
you want to say that of children's bodies and how these
steps go through? And that was back in 2011.
But now in April 2024, I went back and found in the Journal of
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry that they have said that the
European Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Association, the
society says now that they are calling for healthcare providers
not to promote experimental and unnecessarily invasive
treatments with unproven psychosocial effects, and
therefore to adhere to the first do no harm principle.
Finally, this organisation insists that respect for all
kinds of different views and attitudes is an essential part
of an ongoing open professional debate that we wish to
stimulate. So we're seeing again that even
though the globalist policy says, well, that, you know, the
Dutch protocol from 2011 is what we are looking at.
But now in 2024 and and and even more recently, this is
continuing to be the case that the people are saying this is
not what we should be doing because we don't know the harm
that we are doing to young people, which of course we are.
And and just a little bit more on efforts toward
indoctrination. The Scottish Union for
Education, which people will know.
I'm a member of the editorial board for that, where we're
doing work against education, that indoctrination, which is
the theme of the logo, sort of that we have follow in SUV.
Kate Deeming, who is the coordinator of the parents
group. She wrote an article that about
the burial collection, which is a museum based in Glasgow and
she visited it and talked about somebody LGBT doctrine, nation
and so on that is present currently in the artefacts and
the description of the artefacts.
And there's a whole report about this that you can read a leak
to. This will be in the show notes.
And two examples that she used in her article, for example, was
the figure of Guan Yen. And that description says quote
Kuan Yan has always represented the basic human values of
compassion and kindness. Trans people deserve respect and
understanding trans rights or human rights be more Guan Yan.
And the other one is a dish showing the broader of them of
state Sebastian from 1500 to 1600.
Quote Initially a religious figure, St Sebastian came to be
seen as a gay icon as LGBT age. I don't know what that is.
Members we've looked at why this might be.
The arrows fired into his body are like words that can still
prick us as LGBTQI plus individuals.
In art and film, St Sebastian is often shown as a beautiful young
man appealing to gay culture. LGBTQI plus experiences are very
diverse. Who is your icon?
And and as a result of some a conversation that I had over the
weekend with Auk column member down in Cheltenham, I was
reminded I'd actually learned for the first time, I guess I
should say, because it's been years since I've read Brave New
World. I didn't remember this.
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley was originally published in
1932, written in 1931. And there's a there's a portion
of this book in the first few pages.
There's a conversation between some children in the book.
It was between the director of hatcheries and conditioning and
some children and the director said, what I'm going to tell you
now, he said may sound incredible, but then when you're
not accustomed to history, most facts about the past do sound
incredible. He left, he let out the amazing
truth. For a very long period of time
before the time of our Ford, and even for some generations
afterwards, erotic play between children had been regarded as
abnormal. There was a roar of laughter,
and not only abnormal, actually immoral, no, and had therefore
been rigorously suppressed. A look of astonishing tragicity
appeared on the faces of his listeners.
Poor little kids, not allowed to amuse themselves.
They could not believe it. Even adolescents, the DHC was
saying, even adolescents like yourselves.
Not possible. Barring a little surreptitious
auto erotism and homosexuality, absolutely nothing.
Nothing in most cases, till they were over 20 years old. 20 years
old, echoed the students in a chorus of loud disbelief. 20 the
director repeated. I told you that you'd find it
incredible. But what happened?
They asked. What were the results?
The results were terrible. So back in 1931, Aldous Hoxley
was writing that it would be terrible for people to wait
until they were 20 years old or so to start engaging in sexual
activity. And I guess we're that's kind of
what we're seeing playing out now.
But we when we trace back the history, we see that this is not
a new agenda. And I want to suggest that
perhaps this is something that they've been thinking about for
a long time, Brian. Diane, thank you very much for
that. And I think that's a very astute
statement that there's lots of clues if we go back in time, but
we're in the age we are and we have to fight the battle in the
time 2025 at the moment. We have to fight the battle
today, but we can only fight that battle if we understand
what's actually being done. Let's move on.
So as always, we like to thank our audience and everybody that
supports US financially through donations as a member.
But if you're not sure how to get involved with the UK column,
have a look at the web page, have a look at donations or
monthly memberships, annual memberships or a lifetime
subscription. And of course you can help us by
making a purchase through the shop.
And we have got health products via Clyde to call and we make a
small percentage on sales through Clive.
Now the key thing for us is that we're putting out information
for people to share to get the information and the facts out.
And you can help us do that if you pass on the material.
Please give the UK column A mention.
Now tomorrow we've got a fantastic interview which
Charles Mallett did with Jonathan Marshall.
Thinking with your heart. This is essentially about
fighting the anti nature agenda and that's it.
So that's Tuesday the 8th of April at 1:00.
And I know it's a really, it's a really interesting interview and
Hawks and horses come into it. So there's a lot to this.
And if you need a bit of relaxation in understanding
what's happening, that is probably one of the interviews
to have a look at now. We're delighted to be able to
say that today we have a little report from our weekend
conference, the Deep State, that took place in Cheltenham.
It was a fantastic day. We enjoyed it.
Everybody who spoke to us said they enjoyed it.
And my goodness, some fantastic speakers.
Let's have a look at this video report.
Thanks to Gemma Cooper and the the media team that were with
us. From the moment the doors
opened, the atmosphere was buzzing.
More than 300 people had travelled to Cheltenham to hear
UK columns take on the deep state.
Some had even travelled as far as Australia and the United
States to hear what our speakers had to say.
Delegates enjoyed tea, coffee, snacks and socialising before
settling into their seats for a day of mind blowing information.
Our speakers didn't disappoint. It was one truth bomber after
another. First up was activist and
campaigner Raj Amir. He kicked off with an explosive
expose about institutionalised corruption.
He got a standing ovation. Raja was followed by UK columns
very own editor and Co founder Brian Garish.
He revealed information he's never told anyone before until
now. This is sedition, this is
treason, we were told. What were the security services
doing? Where were they?
I think they were complicit. With the deep state firmly in
focus, delegates were treated to their very own UK column,
Doughnut in the break, a nod to the odd shaped building just up
the road which houses the British security and
intelligence agency GCHQ. Were they listening in today?
What do you think? The breaks also gave an
opportunity to buy books and merchandise from specially
invited guests and, perhaps most importantly of all, the chance
to talk to fellow audience members and forge new
friendships. But soon it was back to the
action, with Alex Thompson talking about his time at GCHQ
and giving his insights about the British establishment.
Then lunch, a chance to chew over the mornings content and
reflect. What do you think of the events
so far today? I'm really enjoying it.
Yeah. Very insightful, particularly
Raja this morning. Really, really enjoyed that.
Quite harrowing actually. And I say enjoy.
It's not quite enjoy, but you know what I mean.
Yeah, I think it's been exceptionally well organised.
Look forward to the next one. Wonderful day, sun is shining
and everyone chatting. And I think, you know, I noticed
that at Bristol where we didn't have access to outdoor space,
but here, you know, that adds a certain expansiveness to
discussion. And yeah, I mean, how wonderful
it is just to be surrounded by people with whom one can turn
effortlessly and say a joke or make a reference, you know, and
not check yourself, not second guess your interlocutor, that
kind of thing. There is a real ease in that and
I think we only discover it when we come here.
We can see the sky, can't we? And there's no chemtrails.
It's quite nice. But yeah, it's brilliant.
It's just, it's worth every penny.
Look at the people, you know, It's just a bunch of wonderful
misfits of mad uncles and aunts and fathers and whatever else,
and certain mothers. And it's, yeah, it's just joy.
Absolute joy. After lunch, AUK column panel
discussion with questions from the audience, then a much
anticipated presentation from Patrick Henningson.
A recent return to UK columns Friday afternoon news show after
a stint away he went down a storm.
The final speaker of the day was GCHQ whistle blower Catherine
Gunn. She too had the audience on
their feet. There was an extraordinary
presentation running off an extraordinary day, but it wasn't
over yet. Ticket holders joined the UK
column team and our speakers for an evening buffet, social and
some music. A chance to relax with like
minded people. These sorts of events are
massively important to bring people together.
For me, that's what it's all about.
Is, is finding people. And it's, yeah, it's really been
lovely today. Really enjoyed it.
The unanimity you get when people get together, which you
can't get on a screen, it's just so important and it's what I
think most of the the big dogs fear because when we're together
and working together and thinking together, we're much
more dangerous than if we're behind screens and just a number
of followers behind somebody who's bringing across a message.
So it's hugely important. It's spiritually good for us
all, I think, and it makes you think that you're not alone.
And that may be that we can, we can fight some of this madness,
this stone at us if we all stick together.
The presenters and the the interviewees, the interviewers,
they all do a fantastic job and you can just talk to them like
they're your friends and always have been your friends at an
event like this. The team themselves, I'm so
impressed with their their big hearts, actually.
You can feel the authenticity, the love and the respect that
they have for each other, the care for humanity and what's
going on in the world, and the pursuit of the truth.
I'm always blown away by the sort of phenomenal research that
they all do, their knowledge. It's really quite extraordinary
and I think they're in a league of their own.
The raw honesty and clarity that they provide I think is is
priceless. If only all media was like that,
maybe we wouldn't be in the mess that we're in.
UK column saved my life. And B, it's important because of
the camaraderie is here. The number of people that have
come up and said hello, that have, you know, we've always
spoken to in chat for a long, long time to actually meet them
and to share the whole origin story and your experiences and
the information that UKC gives us.
It just takes it to a different level and you can't get that on
chat and you can't get that through a screen.
You've got to be here, folks, to experience it.
The event was so successful, plans are now underway for the
next UK column on location in the autumn and a residential
weekend next year. Gemma Cooper, The UK column in
Cheltenham. Well, there we are, a wonderful
event and of course, more plans. So if you didn't come to that
one, stay with us because you'll have the opportunity in the
future. Now I'd also say that if you
didn't see Saturday's event, you weren't there.
So that's still available as a live stream which you can get
through the UK Column website. That's £20 for non members, 18
lbs for UK column members. But the next best thing to have
a look at that live event. Now, Diane, let's bring you back
with us because you've got more to say about material that's
been up on the UK Column and the good work of our authors of the
the written reports. Yes, thanks, Brian, that, that
was a wonderful video too. I'm kind of overwhelmed by the
compliments that we just received in that video.
I've just seen it for the first time.
That was amazing. But I also want to make sure
that again, because I'm working with so many wonderful authors
that have given us a lot of written content for our website
as well, to make sure that all of these are highlighted.
And, and also because I have some additional information to
add for another article that was published recently.
Because it's a real pleasure for me as the editor to be working
with our authors when they're topics that I know about and can
maybe make suggestions. Although of course, we're
completely free speech platform when it comes to their work.
But I do want to mention just as well since I've taken over in
February that we have published several written articles that
you can find if you search the UK column website.
And we'll provide some links as well.
And the show notes of these range all the way from
Replacement Migration written by Simon Elmer, which is actually a
republication of part of his own book that he published before
this was in the UK column website.
We have an article from Mark Anderson about Guernsey, the
tiny island that beat the big bankers for 20 years of monetary
free freedom. We have articles from Charles
Mallett including Farmers Protest the Wrong Target And
then earlier one another article called COVID Vaccines and New
Mechanisms of Serious Pathology by Doctor Mike Williams.
An article about Mark Carney, who's the new technocratic
globalist Prime Minister of Canada Post Democracy in
Germany, about the constitutional crisis happening
in Germany. That's by Yogs Land Grieba.
We have an article, another article with Charles called the
Church of England in the room with Big Tech.
And the one that that as just from a couple of days ago, the
evolution of the serial chemical weapons narrative on the road to
Gouta. That's Part 2 of the Chemical
weapons as a narrative series by Doctor Pierce Robinson.
And finally, the one that I want to focus on is 1 by Martin
Edwards called the Great Transition and NGO Alliances
trading a course towards the rocks of Net 0.
And the reason I want to talk about this one is because there
is a lot of information in this article, but there is also some
information that I want to provide that kind of
contextualises what he's done with it and where it can
potentially go the further you dig deeper.
And this is what I think we're so good at it.
You can call them, but not just me obviously, but all of us that
we go deeper than the typical media and even articles and
videos that sometimes viewers send to us from other non
mainstream sources, even if they are alternative or independent
sources. I would have to say that a lot
of them I personally wouldn't use in my own reporting because
they don't go that far into the depths that we go into to kind
of figure out where things actually come from and, and to
look at the original sources as well.
So actually looking at policy documents and, and we, so we are
able to stay away from all of these sensationalism and all of
the, oh, look at this, this is really scary and exciting
because we're going to actual sources and no one can dispute
us even if they try to. So in this article by Martin
Edwards, he talks about the Planetary Health Alliance as an
organisation which is, quote, a consortium of over 480
universities, non governmental organisations, research
institutes and government entities from 80 plus countries
around the world. And I'm just going to read a
little a couple of bits from this article so that you can see
where I'm going to with this. Its origins can be traced to
2015, when the Rockefeller Foundation and Lancet
Commission, which is The Lancet, which is the medical journal
working with the Rockefeller Foundation on planetary health,
published a report called Safeguarding Human Health in the
Anthropocene Epic. In The Lancet journal, it
defines Anthropocene. If you don't know this word
already, if you do know it, that's great.
If you don't, you need to catch up on your globalist
terminology. It is a proposed name for a new
geological epic, demarcated as the time when human activities
began to have a substantial global effect on the Earth's
systems. In the executive summary of this
report, the authors talk about the Sustainable Development
Goals and they say that reasons for help include the advent of
the SDGS and the post 2013 Development Agenda which
provided an important opportunity to to address these
trends and to tackle health, social, environmental challenges
and integrated ways. The part that's really
interesting and what really got me going as not just an editor
but as a reporter. It discusses 4 alternative
scenarios of future development that exemplify alternative
worlds that might emerge from the present.
The first two scenarios represent an evolution of
conventional worldviews. For example, market forces
exemplifies market centred growth oriented globalisation,
whereas policy reform tells of a government ledge redirection of
growth towards sustainability goals.
It says that the alternative scenarios presented in the
report envisioned A fundamental restructuring of the global
order, authoritarianism and fragmentation and fortress world
and positive transformation in the great transition in which
material consumption is reduced but is more equitable than the
present and another report which is shorter that talks about this
great transition scenario. The future scenario, the Great
Transition, can be found in a report from October 2021 from
the Planetary Health Meeting. They met in Sao Paulo and while
the rest of us were locked up under COVID restrictions, they
decided to go to Sao Paulo and and talk about the planet.
And they said at that time they called this fundamental shift in
how we live in Earth the Great Transition.
Achieving this will require rapid and deep structural
changes across most dimensions of human activity, including how
we produce and consume food, energy, manufactured goods, how
we construct and live in our cities, and how we consider and
measure growth, progress and development and govern
ourselves. It will take practitioners,
scholars and policy makers across every dimension of human
activity working together. Now, the reason that was
interesting was because they concluded their report talking
about how else it's going to help us achieve the Great
Transition. And when I saw that, I
remembered a report that I did back in September 2024 about the
United Nations Summit of the Future.
And working backwards from the summit of the future, which
happened last year or in the last several months that I went
back to a globalist, a little known globalist, but a very
influential one called Doctor Paul Raskin from Yale
University. And he was actually a member of
the Club of Rome in the past. And we just found that out
recently. I want to go back and play a
couple of clips to to show where this came from because the
reports that were highlighted in Martin's report didn't really
mention Paul Raskin, but he's the one in his organisation
called the Telus Institute was the one that did this.
So my question is, are the globalists plagiarising each
other essentially? But let's play my clip that I
showed back in September on the news first, please.
When we discuss scenarios, we talk about 3 broad channels
radiating out into the future. One we call conventional worlds,
basically an evolutionary sequence of events.
Despite hiccups like the current meltdown that the basic paradigm
and values persist into the future.
The second channels barbarization, which markets and
policies are unable to cope with the crises and the chaos and
social disruption and the environmental deterioration that
is induced by conventional worlds and you have futures of
catastrophic disruption. And the third we call great
transitions, where people rise to the possibilities, to the
promise of this planetary phase with new values and new
institutions and steer in development steers towards a a
more fortunate form of civilization.
So he wrote a book in 20 or the Telus Institute, I guess, really
wrote a book that was published in 2016 called Journey to Earth
Land, in which he further sort of developed these ideas about
the great transition. And what he says is that global
consciousness, cultural experimentation, popular
struggles for peace, justice and sustainability urge a great
transition, which tendency will dominate.
So we have these different scenarios that we can choose
from. And he said that the great
transition after a period of gestation could rapidly unfold
in a whirlwind of change. As dominant norms lose their
sway and system elements and structures begin to crack.
The revolutionary moment will have survived.
If well prepared, oppositional and visionary movements can
influence the anatomy of the kind of Earth land that emerges
from the tumult. So let's play this next clip,
which is from the same original video tried to have a plate on
the news previously, which shows exactly what kind of Earth
Doctor Raskin envisioned for us. Because humanity has found a way
to balance the imperatives of global responsibility with
diversity and pluralism in modes of culture and development.
When we take our trips to outer space and we look back, we see
an integral blue planet. We don't see imaginary lines of
States, and so that this globalism, the sense of the
earth as a natural unit for a human organisation and identity,
is some ways more profound than are the imaginary boundaries of
of nation state. So he says in this book as well,
going on, that the choices we make, the actions we take now
before catastrophes erupt, old institutions crumble and new
ones solidify our decisive for keeping progressive options
open. This news may be disheartening,
comforting or inspiring, but cannot be ignored for that too,
would be a choice. So, Brian, I just want to say
that, you know, what we're hearing here and what we can see
in these reports is that that Paul's actually talking about
what the globalists want us to do, what to do with this agenda.
We talked about this constantly on the news, which is their
ultimate goal, which is to destroy the nation state and
have Earth be a big sort of blue and green BLOB of existence.
We've talked about this frequently and UK Common will
continue to do so. But my point here is that if
people want to go deeper into what we report on, a lot of this
will be available in the written articles, which we simply just
don't have time to do when we publish videos and news
broadcasts for three hours a week.
But if you want more depth, you can always go into this amazing
art that we have of written reports.
Diane, thank you very much for that.
An excellent point. Huge amount of material on the
UK column website and we use it ourselves as an archive.
Very often when we are reporting today, we go and look at what we
were saying 1015 years ago. Ben, just to end off today's
news, everything is about utopia in the future.
Mission 2025. Indeed, utopia in the future,
the, the grand transition, the just and sustainable transition
from one economic model to a new one, the political process that
will facilitate it, exactly as described there by Diane.
Thank you for that report. But I think they might be in
trouble. And let's start off by looking
at what they're up to with Mission 2025.
The UN climate conference COP 29 is taking place this week in
Azerbaijan. It's a chance for international
cooperation and to bridge the gap between world leaders and
the private sector. I've been around London to hear
from British businesses and experts to get their views on
how we can work together towards a just, clean and prosperous
transition. The good news is we are a global
economy in a state of rendition. There's a huge appetite for
investment in the next industrial revolution.
Businesses are absolutely at the Arrowhead.
They are the innovators. They're going to make the change
happen and they need support from the ecosystem.
When it comes to climate change adaptation and resilience,
institutional asset owners are really keen to play their.
Part businesses understand the barriers, so listening seriously
to them while our policymakers to steer towards a net zero
future. Most businesses are ready to
run, but now they need governments to create supportive
policy landscapes to help them act decisively.
Climate change is still the world's biggest market failure.
It runs the risk of destabilising the international
geopolitical world order as well as financial markets.
We're already going in the right direction, but now it's a
question of how we move at the pace and scale required.
Wind and solar are rising to new highs.
Industrial transformation is picking up pace.
Restoring nature and transforming our food systems is
both possible and increasingly profitable.
Leaders are stepping up and speaking up, but we still need
to move faster and leave no one behind.
Lovely music always point to nothing.
But it's money and power, power, money, money.
They're super keen to invest in the next industrial revolution.
This is a multi trillion global marketplace.
The City of London's lined up behind it and they want power,
the policy makers to enable this programme.
That's what's happening internationally.
And as I said, I think they're in trouble.
I'll come on to that in a minute.
First thing is to note who's actually leading this.
So this lady in the centre there, that's Cristiano
Figueres. She is involved in something
called global optimism and she's one of the main voices in the
climate movement, involved with the World Bank and the UN and
recently was at the Palace, which we can see here to receive
a ADBE. She's a Dame now, right?
So this is, as ever linked very closely into the British
establishment. You can get a bit more
background on her and I recommend that you do by going
to look at this article. So this is who exactly is
Christiana? Forget it is, this is on the
Winter Oak website. We'll provide a link to it.
And she's leading this out on behalf of these people, right?
This is the partner list on the Mission 25 website.
And we can see in here some familiar names.
You've got C40 cities, so we've got Sadiq Khan in there.
We've got the Bezos Earth Fund. We've got E3G based in London,
which is like the global harb of all the new blueprints for the
for the transition and new economy.
They want us to move towards IKEA, a bunch of corporate money
and we can see Planetary Guardians as Paul Pullman and
the B team and then the Club of Rome pop up.
Right. So this is exactly what Paul
Raskin was just talking about earlier.
And this is the actual mechanics of how this marketplace is
delivering this transition. It's how they're driving this
thing forward. And this is the partnership that
you're constantly talking about. Ben, I'll just say caught my eye
at the bottom of the screen as it was scrolling up there.
But you've got Unilever next to the University of Exeter.
Now obviously that's that's just a coincidence that they're
there. But universities next to global
big business? Nothing to worry about,
apparently. Absolutely not.
And Systemic also who are in the mix now.
They just, they issued that that film was put out at Cop back in
November. They just issued this back in
January. This is the global Mutidau.
Mutidau is a Brazilian term which is a community coming
together to work on the shared task.
And this is just a really neat piece of communication that I
think sums up what they're doing, but also where they're
at. And there's some hope in here
for me. So they're saying that the
darkest outcomes before dawn. A new economy is rising, but we
are at the centre of this new economy, our needs, aspirations
and potential. When they say we, they mean
them. Yeah, it's not us.
This is the partner list that we just looked at.
If you read what these people put out, every now and again,
they betray exactly what they're up to.
We're at the centre of this new economy.
That's what they're saying. Yeah.
And the power structure that's going to enable it.
What do they need to deliver? They're going to accelerate our
energy and industrial revolution, protect our abundant
natural world, ensure our future futures are financed.
So all of this is about money. They're obsessed with this thing
called climate finance and importantly, this final slide.
This is what gives me hope. How we must respond.
We got to end in fighting now. This is like an internal
communication thing that they've put out.
I don't know if they expect other people to read this stuff
right, but apparently they need to stop attacking allies and
embrace different paths towards a shared vision.
They all hate each other. Yeah, this is corporate
politics. You've got people who've come up
through the system by being ruthless and taking other people
out, and now they're turning on each other, right?
I think that they're struggling to implement their plans.
It says upgrade our tactics. You've got to stop broadcasting
and start building a movement. So this is less about media,
more about on the ground. Tailor our message, stop
ignoring the audience and focus on what truly matters to people.
And unfortunately, what matters to people has got nothing to do
with the economic, technological and political transition that
they're trying to force us into. Yeah.
Right. Is that one?
That's that's it Ben. I think we need to stop there
for today's news. We're always short of time
because there is so much happening.
But each UK column news, we try and get out as much as we
possibly can to the audience. So let's end it there.
Huge thank you to everybody who's joined us today.
Wherever you are in the world, we're very grateful of your
support. And the more viewers we get, the
stronger UK column becomes. Now I just want to point out
that Saturday's event was wonderful.
We're going to look to have another one in the autumn and
next year is our 20th anniversary is UK column news
and we're going to look to have a special weekend event.
So stay with us for all of that. And my last comment is yes, we
did invite the director of GCHQ to come and enjoy the day on her
doorstep, but unfortunately she was much too busy to attend and
actually discuss her work with the wider public.
A great shame. Let's leave it there for members
of the UK column. Stay with us because we'll have
UK Column Extra in just a few minutes.
Bye bye.
