Good afternoon. Today is Monday the 29th of
January 2024, just after 1:00. Welcome to UK Column News.
Your host today myself, Brian Gerrish, and I'm delighted to be
joined by Alex Thompson and also Mark Anderson from the USA.
And we are delighted to have a special guest who will be
joining us for UK Column Extra. And we'll be having a look at
some low traffic neighbourhoods in Oxford and what people are
doing to stand up against those. But let's kick off with the
serious stuff and that is we appear to have a world full of
politicians that want nothing but war.
Alex, welcome. What have you got to tell us?
Brian The war fever against Russia has reached as far as it
could get. Geographically, it's reached
Australia. So a deputy professor in
Australia, Alexei Muraviev, who's in the realm of national
security and strategy studies, suggests that it is time to
consider conscription. And he reminds his readers that
over half a century ago, when Australia was going through a
constitutional crisis which eventually led to the Crown
deposing of Whitlam, the then Prime Minister, that he
progressively, as it was thought, abolished national
service, the English speaking countries did so earlier than
the continent. Britain had already done so in
1960. But some more RBF is saying it's
time to have these conscripts back because as far as he can
see in Perth, WA, the Russians are about to cause Australia a
problem. I doubt it somehow, but there we
go, continuing the northern European shock and awe campaign
which has been reported already with the the Swedes, the Dutch
in the form of Admiral Rob Bauer of NATO and the British getting
in on the ACT. Sir Patrick Sanders.
We now have a Norwegian equivalent so Eric
Christopherson who is the chief of staff of the Norwegian Armed
Forces has said we don't have much time.
And a couple of highlights, which Doug Blood, it's in his
interview has brought out, suggest that we don't know
whether we will be at war with Russia within one, two or three
years. It's been written up by others
as though he was saying we will certainly be at war in that
time, which is not quite what he said, but it's getting pretty
desperate now. Of course, NATO and its hangers
on like Australia expect Uncle Sam to ride or sail to the
rescue. The trouble is, as reported to
military.com, that the United States Marines don't sail their
own craft. Unless you know different of
course, with your Old Navy service.
They require the US Navy. It's a separate service branch
in America, unlike the Royal Navy and the Royal Marines being
the same branch, they require them to carry them to the fields
of deployment and battle. And Lieutenant General Carsten
Heckel who is the commander of the combat that development
command at the US Marine Corps has told military.com so it's on
the record now we are simply where we are.
There's no immediate fix. War is a come as you game and
going into more detail the general says that there is
considerable considerable, considerable.
I take that as military panic. Big large by months gaps between
the ME, US. Now these are the units which
combine the US Navy and the military sorry.
And the Marines in order to deploy.
And there have already been cases in Africa where citizens
were at risk and the marines were already raring to go and
storm the beaches. But because of the lack of
amphibious craft, because of the Navy trying to scrimp and save
on the number of vessels in the fleet, even in the biggest Navy
in the world supposedly they weren't able to.
So mutual recriminations going on there.
Meanwhile, the United States wants its allies to help Ukraine
because they can't do so itself anymore.
So the Defence Secretary, Mr. Blinken, has offered his
counterpart in Greece, Mr. Mittal Takis $200 million to
send weapons to Ukraine. And the actually it's not his
counterpart, it's the Greek Prime Minister Blinken, in his
own right, is quoted in Athens News as saying.
We remain interested in the defence potential that Greece
can transfer or sell to Ukraine if these capabilities are of
interest to Ukraine and pending the US government's assessment
of their status. So they'll be in some inspectors
centre warehouse. We, the US Pentagon, may explore
the potential for additional foreign military financing funds
of up to $200 million. Meanwhile, in an extra link
which will be in the show notes, the main Greek daily
Ekathidimini has suggested that Greece is now ready to do battle
with Turkey if necessary. There's been A1 upmanship in the
in having a squadron of F35 fighters on both sides, because
Turkey has extracted from the US that as the price of dropping
its veto on Swedish NATO membership, that Turkey would
have an F35 squadron. Meanwhile, floppy rifles in
Germany. Dash Spiegel, which will feature
in a more nefarious role later in this news, reports that the
German Audit Chamber has wrapped the German forces, the
Bundeswehr over the knuckles for deliberately softening the
rigour of the shooting tests that were brought in for the new
weapon of choice, the G95-A1, which supposedly didn't meet up
to its shooting tests before being brought into regular
service as the main rifle. As I understand it.
And the there are plenty of documents available to their
Spiegel investigative team which indicate that this was well
known and that the German armed forces just went back to the
drawing board and said let's have less demanding tests so
that this weapon can be rolled out because we've already
decided it will be the next one in service.
Meanwhile in Britain, the constitutional aspects of
declaring war continue to gain attention.
At the University College London Constitution Unit, which,
together with Kings in London, poses as the mainstream
commentator in academia on the British constitution.
They're asking the rhetorical question, how might Keir Starmer
for our overseas viewers? That's the likely next Prime
Minister codify his intended Prevention of Military
Intervention Act with some blurb.
Well, rather than read that turgid stuff, how about this
response, which has been tweeted or exed, as we might now have to
say, by the Western Aid Price Foundation?
That is Philip Ridley and author regularly writing the UK column
and soon to feature in audio content of ours as well.
He's tweeting back in reply to that the tweet of that piece, an
article of his which is still in editors choice on the front page
of our website entitled War Powers.
Is the UK a military dictatorship or is it a legal
limited monarchy? That latter phrase comes from
the claim of Right of Scotland 1689 and is a constitutional
treaty. And he replies that both Sir
Keir Starmer and the the Constitution Unit at UCL should
know that the Crown already has no prerogative to engage in war
to defend place which is not belonging to it without consent
of the British Parliament. See the 1700 Act of Settlement.
No new legislation is required, as set out in my article more
pithily from the Ethno Nationalists side of the
spectrum, I think as often Morgoth is fearless from the
North East of England. He has a piece on the looming
spectre of conscription. And I'll just read this
paragraph because it's too good to miss.
It is a bit in your face, but it has to be at this point, he says
It would be enjoyable to think that chickens were coming home
to roost. He's referring to the fact that
people are realising the millennials won't fight and will
actually fight against the government if someone tries to
conscript them. But he says the chickens can't
walk anymore. He then says white boys.
And of course their recruitment is down in America.
Significantly, white boys don't want to have a giggling Russian
girl sitting in an office in Bobrovka fly grenade laden
drones into their gonads as they cower in a bog.
He's referring to what happens in Ukraine.
Everyone knows, right? Why?
Says Morkov. Our leaders can't admit.
Why, of course, Because to do so would reveal them as some of the
stupidest people in all of world history ever to hold power.
He's not the only one who thinks that way.
This meme from the cobbled together from The Old Fast Show
shows a yokel stumbling out of his garden shed, as he used to
do every week in British TV comedy.
And he says this week I have been mostly war mongering, so I
think Mark has a bit of comment there on the
internationalization of the war. Yeah, Good day, gentlemen.
In Foreign Affairs magazine, as advertised in a Brookings
Institution e-mail, there's a new article.
I didn't have a paywall. It's just called The Next Global
War, written by Hal Brands. There's no question mark at the
end. The Next Global War, A real
quick little snippet. the US isn't facing a formalized
alliance of adversaries as it did during WW2.
It probably won't see a replay of a scenario in which
autocratic powers conquered giant swaths of Eurasia and its
littoral regions. Yet with wars in Eastern Europe
and the Middle East already raging, and ties between
revisionist states becoming more pronounced, all it would take is
a clash in the contested Western Pacific to bring about another
awful scenario, one in which intense interrelated regional
struggles overwhelmed the international system and create
a crisis of global security unlike anything since 1945.
What's interesting there is they're positing the idea that
the international system is what's holding the line and will
only have war if the international system is
overwhelmed, when others would argue, probably myself, that the
international system is actually a failure and exacerbates things
and may very well be the engine of war.
Ultimately it it's a long read, like many ponderous foreign
affairs articles are, but it's just another example of how
they're upping the anti wars. Rumours of wars and the
psychological effect of rumours of wars.
Is the ongoing war a shooting war?
We'd have to wait and see. Thank you very much for that
Mark, and it just reinforces why Morgoth, in his blog on refusing
conscription, describes what we're being called to fight or
the younger among us are being called to fight.
He describes it as Globo homo. Alex, thank you.
Thank you very, very much for that report.
And Mark for your comments there.
Alex, from your section, very interesting.
The American military got similar problems to UK.
They can't get ships where they need to be.
They've got manning problems. And we've also got the other
question over who is creating these wars and are they actually
legitimate wars since nobody is declaring war?
Well, let's listen to some of the politicians and senior
military people talking and we're kick off here with David
Cameron. Last night, 4 RAF Typhoons took
part in military action together with the Americans to further
degrade the Houthi capacity to carry out these attacks on
shipping in the Red Sea. What the Houthis are doing is
unacceptable, it's illegal and it's threatening the freedom of
navigation. That's why we've taken the
action. Alongside that action is a whole
set of measures we'll be taking, including sanctions and other
pressure to put on the Houthis. Combined, of course, with the
action the Royal Navy is taking with others in the Red Sea, and
we'll be building the strongest coalition of support to back the
steps that we've been. Well, there we are.
Truly horrible. I wonder how many people
remember Cameron speaking as Prime Minister, putting on his
very posh, very serious voice as he tells the audience and the
world what is actually happening.
Those nasty Houthis, Of course we United Kingdom, the US, NATO,
we have not done anything out of the ordinary.
All of this trouble has simply come out of nowhere.
But there he is on the word world stage saying what he and
the British military are going to do about it.
All of this, of course is a smokescreen and a lie, because
at the moment Britain's military are in Polaris situation with a
lack of equipment and men. And well, let's hear some
further comment from a retired Colonel, Tim Collins.
When you first came to prominence, obviously as a
military leader, the biggest challenge that you might face
were you still in the forces today would be what's happening
in the eastern border of NATO, Russia.
Do you think that we are ready, fit to play, play our part in
the defence of Europe? We are in this country
absolutely not ready our our military as a shadow itself or
two of our biggest assets. The the two aircraft carriers
are tied up alongside in Portsmouth when we have a crisis
in the Red Sea. So it gets interesting when we
hear Cameron speaking and then we get the reality of the
situation about the UK on forces.
The carriers can't operate in the our Red Sea.
We simply can't get them out there.
We haven't got the supply and the support ships and also the
army is getting smaller and less effective, less credible by the
day. So that retired Colonel pointing
it out. But let's go to the boss and
General Sanders himself. General Sanders has made no
secret of the fact he thinks the British Army is too small.
The current Conservative government has cut it to its
smallest size in more than 300 years, and General Sanders made
the point that over the last 30 years the British Army has
halved in size. He's made the point that he sees
the current generation of soldiers as a pre war
generation. So we're in a pre war
generation, but by some strange events the armed forces have got
smaller and smaller. Many of the media reports are
talking about the British Army shrinking as if it had been put
on the the wrong wash cycle in the washing machine.
But the reality is deliberate calculated policy has been
destroying Britain's military to make it smaller, less effective
and of course weakening it with the woke agenda.
So let's listen to General Sir Patrick Sanders talking about
Future Soldier and something he's discovered.
Well, Future Soldier is a response to the strategic
context we're in. And that was captured I think
pretty well in the integrated review in 2021.
But of course what we've had since then is the Russian
invasion of Ukraine. And so although we we
characterize Russia as a threat, I think the threat the, the
speed at which that's accelerated towards us has taken
everyone by surprise. And So what we've done is to
adapt at real pace what future soldier set out because we know
that we could be required to fight and certainly we need to
be able to deter the threats in Europe this decade future
Soldier is incredibly exciting. So at it's heart, it's the most
radical transformation of the British Army that I've
experienced in the 40 years that I've been in uniform.
This is an incredibly exciting time to be joining the army.
And if you're in the army now, you're joined now.
The army you join will look radically different in the
course of the next six or seven years.
And just to give you a sense of of the pace of that, we've now
got a really clear sense of our purpose.
So the Army's purpose is to fight and win wars on land.
Well, Alex, I'm going to ask you for a little bit of help here
because by the time we got to that final statement, he's been
in the Army for 40 years. But apparently it's only now
recently that he's understood what the purpose of the Army
was. I want to say that this man does
not have the mental acumen to do the job he's doing, but there's
something else. It is like he has the mind of a
child. He's trying to tell us that with
all of the intelligence systems in UK and the West, we didn't
see the threat from the Russians.
And Oh my goodness, now we've got a problem because we don't
have an army capable of doing anything effective in the field
overseas. But he's only just learned the
purpose of why we have an army. What is?
What's your explanation for the mindset of this man?
Brain scramble of some kind. I'm glad you gave me a bit of a
bridge there before bringing the camera on to me, because I had
to suppress quite a hearty laugh at that last sentence.
As usual, I go for linguistic analysis.
I don't think that somebody as well bred as Sir Patrick really
speaks as casually and sloppily as that, with the dropped
consonants between vowels. People might for short call it
American speech, where of course there's no, there's no
association of register with it. But in Britain, certainly in his
upbringing, that would have been a no go for anyone of class and
reading. So I think he's deliberately
like Tony Blair in his early years of premiership when he
pretended to pronounce football as football.
I think what he's doing here is showing that he's a man of the
people and and putting things in oversimplified terms that
looking up, and if I'm not mistaken to the right as well,
suggests to me a kind of panic or brain freeze moment.
Well, if we've got the senior man having brain freezes, I
don't have any confidence in his ability to defend the nation.
But the second point I want to make is that history shows us a
deliberate policy to destroy Britain's military, and the UK
column has been warning and warning over a great many years
on this issue. So let's have a look at some
previous reports this this one is up to date.
So this is Sky News. RAF jets flying 3000 miles for
Houthi strikes as flagship aircraft carriers remained in
the UK, and we've talked about that it's partly manning and
partly the sport ships. Here's the male aircraft carrier
fiasco, as the UK refuses to deploy either of its 3.5 billion
warships to help tackle Yemen's Houthis.
And then we can go back here and have a look at old reports.
RAF cuts could make Britain's airspace vulnerable to attack
competition. To give retired HMS Illustrious
and new home, here's HMSR Royals being cut up in a Turkish scrap
yard, scrapping of the RAF Nimrods.
British Army cuts are one hell of a risk after Crimea, says
General. And we said at the time to
destroy Britain. Vote Conservative 2015.
So none of this is accidental. This was planned policy by the
political parties labouring on it as well, but other things
going on, the wokeness of the military and this was army
fitness test being rewritten to make sure the women could cope
with what was happening. But if you look at the reality
everywhere, women are coming into frontline of the military.
That is a man lost to the frontline and that is a
weakening of the military and maybe contentious with some of
our women. Audience today, but that is the
harsh reality of it. Meanwhile we've got big money
for jobs which are more akin to sitting in an office than being
in uniform for an army. So looking for a new career?
Cybersecurity Here we've got Forces TV from 2016 talking
about the sell off of MOD assets in order to build homes. 10
military sites to be sold for 7000 homes and apparently every
pound we make by disposing of excess land will be reinvested
into a defence budget that keeps Britain safe.
So that's the reality. Planned destruction.
Let's very quickly have a look at what what Boris Johnson had
to say to the idea of recruiting youngsters to fight the
Russians. Lance Corporal Johnson reporting
for duty and responding to the appeal from General Sanders for
a citizen army and encouraging young people across the country
to think of the attractions advantages of some kind of
military training or service. Because at the moment they think
it's either uncool or unethical. Or perhaps they're not following
General Sanders. They're following Colonel
Sanders to find out what we need to do about it, read my column
in the Daily Mail. So I just say to the audience,
we I have to include myself. I wasn't able to stop him, but
we allowed this person to become a politician who ultimately
destroyed any peace between Ukraine and the Russians.
And this is the idiot now talking to the public on the
lines of getting young people involved to die on the
battlefield. Well, I'll just reiterate what
Alex has shown, which is that the Telegraph here, why it's
maybe too late for the West to avoid war.
And on the right we've got Peter Hitchens, who quite rightly is
pointing out we need to do something to stop this madness.
But I'm going to say even Peter Hitchens doesn't seem able to
put the pieces together of what we're faced with.
And there's a little video clip here from AUS man who's now
living in the Donbass warning us.
And I think this is a very, very pertinent track which many
people should pay attention to, he tells us what is coming.
Let's have a listen. You know, I've been saying for
10 years that people in the United States should take a
lesson from what's happened in Ukraine and understand that, you
know, what the US, who controls the Ukrainian government has
done to Ukraine? Destroyed the economy, you know,
caused the death of millions of their citizens, you know, made
them, you know, a pariah and a disgrace on the world political
stage, all these things that they have done in Ukraine.
And I've been telling people in America this for 10 years now,
you know, what? The US government and the people
who own and control the US government and the European
governments, what they have done to people in other countries
around the world, they will do to their own citizens too.
So a very simple but very powerful statement.
I'm just going to reinforce it as fast as I can by saying just
have a look back at what was happening.
Here's 2013 and we have Prince Charles who said he's going to
be working with David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Cleggg to
recruit an army of 2 million to save a lost generation, a
so-called community army. If we have a look at what David
Cameron and others got up to, of course getting the fear factor
going with constant commentary on the risks of terrorism and
how terrible terrorist attacks would be.
But this was ramping up the fear, bringing in Prevent
targeting children at school channel, so protecting
vulnerable people from being drawn into terrorism.
This was in fact more fear, more spying and leading us through to
MAPPA where we have groups across UK spying on individuals
supposedly to keep us safe. And if I just end on this, we
should also remember that Eric Pickles, former community
Minister, said we're going to shake up the balance of power in
this country. We're going to change the nature
of the Constitution, being no doubt about our commitment to
localism. I know I look like an unlikely
revolutionary, but the revolution starts here.
And if people still don't get what the real intent of these
people is, I'll just end here with Michael Gove.
And he was quoted in 2014 as saying so if the right candidate
for any public appointment happens to be a member of the
Revolutionary Communist Party or someone who has been generous
enough to support a political party with their hard earned
cash, if they are the right person, then he or she will be
appointed. That's the end of it.
And on that note, let's come across to Mark.
We can clearly show that people in my mind, with a strong
communist agenda were working to destroy Britain back in the
2013, two 1014 period and I'm sure that they're still at the
treasonous work today. But of course it's the big
globalist organisations that are creating many of the policies
and you've been having a look at the World Economic Forum.
Yeah. Good day again, gentlemen.
The World Economic Forum, of course, conducts that annual
meeting in Davos, and I've got a few slides to show, not too
many. And I had to focus on AI.
There's a lot you can look at. So breaking it down, the rapid
growth of artificial intelligence has raised critical
questions and they have asked some good questions at WEF and
we'll move on from there. Given that AI will impact our
societies and industries, what solutions, dialogue and
education are needed? All generally good questions,
good things to explore. And we do have a video clip
coming up. This is Alexandra Reeve, given.
She does make some good points, but then I've got some other
context to share that will paint a broader picture.
A second area that we need to think about is surveillance.
How much easier it becomes for governments to surveil their
populations, particularly in regimes that have poor human
rights records or authoritarian regimes face recognition
technology, we all know. What that is, that is AI
powered, right? The way that that system is
trained and it learns, we've seen that deployed to surveil
protests to identify suspects in a protest so they can be pulled
out. To caution people against
protesting and participating in those public spaces.
So you can see that there are some good points raised there,
but if you look at it contextually, you can pick out
some things, especially things that aren't shown on the video.
For example, she said that those other regimes, those
authoritarian regimes, they might misuse AI.
She's making that initial bias, that fundamental bias that's
very common at the WEF, that it's only the other guys, Viktor
Orban's Hungary, Vladimir Putin's Russia, and so on, that
will abuse these things. It could never be the EU, it
could never be the United States.
It could never be Britain. And so those are valid concerns.
But the context is very important.
Some of the other comments, briefly there was a futurist and
black investor. Will I am, he goes by that name.
Will I am. And he he said things like the
AI will be a whole new way to unearth tomorrow's industries.
Because we know AI is going to topple, that is topple today's
industries. And there's other questions.
You know, Uber drivers, bean counters at financial
institutions, various clerks, their jobs will be gone under
AI. There's different ramifications
for that. AI mimics, but it does not
really futurize. It can't imagine.
So they're calling on the young of the world, the youth of the
world, to combine their inherent innate imagination with AI.
Things like that. Mister Gupta talked about this
is to Manchu Gupta. He's an Indian AI expert.
Kim Manchu Gupta. He talked about farmers being
able to get a drought resistance seeds cheaper and faster with
the use of AI. There may see may be some
advantages there, and so on many other things.
There's concern that people whose financial benefits and
eligibility is based on AI may lose their benefits because AI
will misread their background. So there's there is a palpable
and maybe sufficient concern being expressed at the World
Economic Forum about the pitfalls of AI.
But on the other hand, there's this kind of mindset that AI has
to be adopted in all it in its entirety, and that we simply
have to navigate the choppy waters of dealing with all the
ramifications, especially the negatives, of course.
So it's a full embrace of AI, and the inherent bias that I
talked about creates a lot of problems because only those
other countries, only those authoritarian regimes would
would abuse it. And the EU couldn't possibly be
authoritarian. Neither could the US nor
Britain, and we have another slide here.
This is an aspect of AI that's perhaps being overlooked in the
movie War Games, released in June 1983.
In the US, the lead character, a skilled teen computer hacker
played by Matthew Broderick, inadvertently hacks into Joshua,
an AI computer trained to fight nuclear war games.
But Joshua thinks the games are real.
So when the character in the movie begins to engage with
Joshua, Joshua actually starts a scenario that all the nuclear
powers on their surveillance screens, on their monitoring
screens, thinks is real. And I wrote an article a few
years back, Brian, and I'm going to get this for next week.
I believe there's already been a lot of studies and contemplation
and developments of prototypes of computers that would fight
war automatically, that would fight war without much human
intervention other than the initial input of data, which is
a lot like Joshua and the war games movie.
So the war games fiction could become fact if these
developments keep going and computers are developed to fight
wars on autopilot. And so that's that's another
dimension of this that wasn't really mentioned at the World
Economic Forum. And just to wind up and maybe
you guys want to comment, I'll be trying to cover, as best I
can, artificial intelligence and climate change coming up at
what's known as the South by Southwest Austin, TX annual
event. Some people call it World
Economic Forum Junior in some aspects.
That true, that's true. Not in all aspects, but as you
can see, artificial intelligence is part of it.
They're spending like five or six days on it and almost as
many days on climate change. So there is sort of a similar
WEF on my side of the pond, but I don't know if you guys have
any comment or questions either you guys.
Mark, the only thing I'll I'll say is that the key point you
made there, of course isn't The World Economic Forum and these
other global powerhouses always regard themselves as being the
good guys and anybody who disagrees with them as being the
bad guys. I think that was a very key
point that you've made there. And of course it's their policy
which is controlling a lot of the politicians worldwide.
Well, let's move on. And as always, we're going to
say thank you very much to everybody who's supporting the
UK column. If you're not a member of the UK
column, please consider becoming a member.
Your financial support would be very welcome.
You can also help us financially by making a purchase from the UK
column shop and of course the UK Column membership gift voucher
is a good way for you to help bring other people on board.
At the end of the day, the material that we're putting out
is to be shared, so we're very happy for you to do that
acknowledging the UK column if you would, but let's get the
information and the facts out and about now.
Just a reminder that tomorrow, Tuesday the 30th of January,
I've got an interview which is coming out at one at 1:00 PM.
That's an audio in the Gutsy Women series with Moira Dundee,
the very brave lady that took on the establishment by skipping
and warning the public that something was badly wrong during
the horrible time of lockdown. So join me for this very amusing
and interesting interview and I'll also say that Moira
strongly stood up for the men, even though she's a gutsy woman
herself, so you might like to see that Now.
I did mention a guest and I'm delighted to say that Chaka
Artwell is going to join us for extra time at the end of the
news and he has been very outspoken against the low
traffic neighbourhoods which are being implemented in Oxford.
So if you're a member of UK column, you'll be able to join
us for that interview after. Sorry for that discussion after
the news. Now I'd also like to say that
several people have pointed out that Anthony Carling needs some
financial help. He's been fighting the banks for
many years and he's now in the horrible situation where his own
home is in danger of being repossessed.
There is a GoFundMe, which you can find here, Santander versus
Carlin, urgent funding required, and I believe that he needs
another 6000 lbs to help his campaign against the banks
effectively stealing property from people and selling
mortgages they're not entitled to sell.
This is a very big battle, and he's at risk of losing his own
home as a result of his courage. Now, good news, we've got a lot
of people starting to step forward to take on the system.
This one was sent in to us. The time has come.
Calling all men and women of Kernow and basically these are
the groups meeting up at St. Austell Rugby Football Club that
Sunday, the 4th of February 2 to 4, to think about what practical
steps people can take to protect themselves and challenge the
system. And we've got another one here.
This is West Somerset Safety Committee.
They've produced a constitution, but essentially they're taking
on everything they consider to be dangerous, from 5G to
potholes. More on potholes later in the
news. Education, LED weapons, housing,
elderly support and local crime. And you can see a telephone
number and contact details at the bottom bottom of that
report. Now Alex, let's bring you back
on screen because you've got a little video clip for us here.
Let's just start that playing. This has been spotted at
Headgate and then 10 S Way in Colchester in Essex.
Someone eagle eyed has noticed that if you look at Google
Earth's mapping of that street, you'll find a series of natty
yellow boards and protesters holding them along the side of
the road. That is of course the yellow
board movement and they have now been immortalised in Google
Earth. So well done to them for that.
It's interesting how Google Earth manages to get some of the
the real world in there. But moving on to a segment I now
have on immigration on the European continent to set the
scene. Although it is from last summer,
not brand new. There is a Dutch paper out
called Borderless Welfare State the Consequences of Immigration
or Public Finances and it's authored by From the Bait
Hartock and Rodenberg. And here is the table which is
really proven to be the the heart of this that there has
been a costing now put positive and negative on different kinds
of immigrants to the Netherlands.
This has been done on Dutch budgetary figures against the
opposition of Dutch local and national government figures.
Who said how dare you put a price on people.
Well they have because it's scientific research.
This has been written up among others by defuncal 2 Point O who
has said Dutch research has revealed the true cost of mass
immigration. And the spoiler alert is
westerners bring money in and people from other parts of the
world are bottomless sinks. Not a value judgement on the
people, but a necessary thing to note.
Les Echo in France, the equivalent of the Financial
Times reports that the right wing parties in the French
Assange de Nacional have attempted to bring in a number
of articles amending the immigration law in France.
Sadly for them, the Constitutional Council, which
French patriots have long accused of being a captured
body, has struck out in the way that continental bodies of state
do. 32 of these articles informing in a in a tone of
hoteur the parties that these articles don't reach the desired
objective. They consider things like
putting a brake on family reunion visas, particular
monitoring of foreign students, lessening the numbers allowed in
for health reasons. The response to that is that the
two right wing parties, including Mrs. Le Pen's party,
which we'll be talking about in a moment, are requiring a
revision of that so that it's clear that the French state has
got on its high horse, this time in Germany.
The mainstream news in the form of the target show here is
reporting, and this is taxpayer funded, that Mrs. Le Pen of the
Rasam de Monacional formerly the the National Front in France is
threatening to break with Alternativa for Deutschland at
the European Union level where at the moment they are united in
an identitarian block. And the wording of this will be
in the, if you speak French, will be in the video of the
press conference which is in the show notes, in essence Madame Le
Pen instead. And there'll be some explanation
of what this is about in a moment.
But I'm not at all in agreement with the suggestions which were
many made in Potsdam in November by the Afd, her party or her
fraction colleagues at EU level. We will have to see whether
there's any scope for further collaboration between the
parties. As a result, uh, we are going to
have to talk about these extremely serious differences of
opinion. What has gone on here to
fracture the unity of the identitarian parties?
Well, the first hint comes in Dash Spiegel.
All of these links of course are in German, but you will be able
to use show notes and then use a translation translation service
online to render them into English or your native language.
DASH Spiegel. Which really has to be quoted a
lot because it sets the tenor of German public opinion, certainly
the the ruling classes. Repeats that it's reports now in
an opinion piece, uh, that it's time UH, that patients ran out
with Afd. And we've been reporting for
quite a time that Afd and the Dutch Forum for Democracy are on
the point of being banned by the establishment.
And So what has prompted this? Well, a journalist's collective
called Coric Teeve, which makes great shakes about its vaunted
independence, came out with this that the new right wing had a
secret plan against Germany in what seems to have been classic
Cloak and Daggerstuff. The BFV, the German Interior
Security Ministry, officially called the Constitutional
Protection Agency, put bugs in a clock on the wall when there was
a meeting in Potsdam on the 25th of November.
And we are told that this included a call or a
presentation being made by the Austrian Identitarian Martin
Zelner, married to Brittany Pettibone, to give her her
maiden name. Some of our views will know that
she was banned from Britain a while ago.
We covered that at the time well, Zelner supposedly said.
I have a plan to get rid of people to North Africa, even if
they have a German passport already.
If they're of foreign origin, particularly North African,
we'll get rid of them. This is what has prompted these
not at all spontaneous looking protests which we see here
reported on by Der Spiegel. They're carrying the dubious
headline 10s of thousands demonstrate against Afd.
They're rather jubilant about this spontaneous demonstration
of public disgust. Meanwhile, they also carry a
column by Susanna Baya, another startlingly young writer, who
says, contrary to what the plebs think, Germany's being very well
governed by its coalition and it's all exaggerated criticism.
She even goes on to say, I know that we journalists are not
supposed to praise the government, but I'm going to
defend them anyway. I'm going to do it because it's
a column, so I can give my opinion, and because critical
distance, which is the basis of journalism, also allows me to
know a lot more than the plebs. Now that that last bit is
paraphrase, what she actually says is that I am able to
question widely accepted truisms, how how wise and clever
of her. So Zelner has put out this
newsletter that's in a red move, which is extremely rare in the
Schengen group of countries. He may actually be blocked from
entering Germany by an individually targeted order such
as usually are given to gangsters as a result of what
was printed entered at this meeting.
Some pictures quite recently of what the Antifa people who
made-up quite quite a bulk of the protesters against the Afd,
what kind of banners they carry, show things like kill the cops,
send the unjabbed into the gas chambers.
This is a bit of a couple of years ago.
Obviously. Kill the Afd.
Kill those who think differently.
This is all the kinds of people who were whipped up by the
German BFV, the German equivalent of MI 5 or FBI, to
attend these not at all spontaneous protests.
And the curious thing about it is that this corrective
collective of, you know, something like Bellingcat in its
formation, somehow managed to get the transcripts of the bug
from the German equivalent to MI 5 from Mr. Selmers meeting.
And we're therefore able to present it as though it was
another Vanze conference leading to a final solution of a racial
problem. Uh, so serious questions to be
asked there. Um, if people want more detail
than we can put in this segment, there are uh two particularly
good pieces or writers I should say Tikis Eindlich and right
Schuster. The links will be in the show
notes in German. You can find a chapter and verse
on there on who funds corrective, which has always
been the big question. But just to end this segment
Ogupios the Plague Chronicle has this piece.
Resistance is not futile and people might be thinking it is
at this point. And he stares into the in the
face the real prospect that the FT will be banned and the same
might happen in other countries in the West.
But he says that actually there's there's there's nothing
to worry about here because the every ounce of effort that the
establishment is spending on banning parties like Afd is
actually doing two things. It's causing them to not be able
to push forward their digital ID or what other other plans they
have because they have to concentrate on lockdown or the
war with Russia or banning the far right or whatever is there
be in their bonnet. But it also means that the
Liberal Democratic facade, the mask which as they've been
wearing, slips little by little and can't be put back.
And he says that as a result of this, you know that they will.
Here's the sentence. There are a limited number of
moves available to the authorities here, and sooner or
later they will run out of them. We, on the other hand, will
always be here. Every step towards a more, more
overtly authoritarian politics is a backhanded victory for us.
Alex, thank you very much. It's.
Incredible, isn't it? We've got chaos and breakdown
angst happening in in all the countries across the European
Union. It's also here in UK.
It's happening in the US. This can't be accidental.
This has got to be policy which is coming out of the
geopolitical powerhouses like the World Economic Forum and the
World Health Organization. Mark, let's bring you back in
because if if there's problems with migration in Europe, we've
also got it in the States at the moment.
Oh, absolutely on. Steroids like never before in
this first slide. I can be relatively concise on
this report. Representative Henry Cuellar.
He's from here in Texas and colleagues, they visited Mexico
on a bipartisan congressional delegation.
A Cuellar is a Democrat. He went with three Republicans.
We'll move on from there. He had this to say.
This is quite a clever quote. I have long said that the United
States cannot continue playing defense on the 1 yard line known
as the US Mexico border. We must work with Mexico to
address the historic surge of migration before migrants arrive
at the US border. I'm pleased to when able to
erase. I'm pleased to have been able to
raise these topics with President Lopez Obrador and
Foreign Minister Barcena. And I look forward to working
with our ally, that's Mexico to address this crisis.
But all is not well, as we'll see.
We'll move on. This is me recently, this past
June, with Joe Arpaio, a good friend of Donald Trump's.
He's of course that legendary Maricopa County, Arizona
sheriff, a man of high integrity, a real lawman, and
there aren't many left. He had something very
interesting to say. I talked to him last night on
the phone, Brian for about 1/2 hour, and he reminded me that
when he was a federal DEA agent back in the 70s, he arranged it
so Mexico's military would work with the US military and they
would nip in the bud the cartel, shipments of drugs, guns,
trafficking of people and other contraband.
They would nip it in the bud long before it reached the US
border. And that's how you effectively
fight this. But what Representative Henry
Cuellar was told by Mexico as we spend more money on patrolling
our southern border than the US does, we have more men and
material material out there to defend our Mexican southern
border than the US. However, Mr. Arpaio, Sheriff
Arpaio agreed with me that you can't really trust what Mexico
says. When Donald Trump was in as
president, he brought Mexico to the table by threatening a lot
of tariffs and other financial penalties on them if they didn't
cooperate and the border was a lot more secure.
Now this next slide will segue into one other major item for
today. This is the migration and the
2030 Agenda by the International Organization for Migration of
the United Nations. And what's significant here is
that two young citizen journalists, Anthony and Joshua
Rubin, recently brought out a video where they embedded
themselves in the migrate migratory caravans and they
start in Quito, Ecuador. And they embedded themselves in
this long trek all the way through the Darien Gap jungle,
very dangerous all the way through Panama, Costa Rica,
Nicaragua, on up to Guatemala, across the Mexican border.
And when they got to the Mexican border and went across other
borders, there were no border agents visible, especially in
Mexico, where they say they're out spending the US on their
southern border security. There was no sign of any border
security being enacted by Mexico.
Therefore, it appears that Mexico is just allowing these
caravans to traverse Mexico up toward Texas and other areas
along the US southern border without any intervention
whatsoever. So Representative Henry Cuellar
and his delegation, apparently, apparently, I'll stress that
word was lied to based on what we know now and along the way,
The IOM, the International Organization for Migration,
Brian, they had posters and advertisements all along that
long trek from Ecuador to the Texas border.
And the European Union had posters and Doctors Without
Borders had advertisements and all of that.
All of those organizations, Brian, help set up supply chains
and supply depots and stations where the migrants, as they're
called, can get food, water, clothing, other supplies.
So even the EU as as as well as the UN associated IOM are
actually physically and tangibly helping this invasion to the US
even. Why?
Even while Mexico apparently is exaggerating or completely
misrepresenting its own border security measures, and to wind
up for today's report, I have just a couple more slides.
This also comes from the report from those citizen journalists.
Meanwhile, New York City becomes the largest municipality in the
US to allow non citizens to vote in local elections.
That's from the Washington Post and a paper called the Eagle.
Non citizens will be able to vote in DC starting next year.
A couple other things here and that'll be concluding.
The Illinois legislation would allow US non citizens to become
police officers. Imagine that they break the law
to get here and that these illegals then could become
police officers. Conceivably states look to hire
illegal immigrants to fatten struggling police departments
there. It's more blunt and new.
California allow new California law, excuse me, allows non-us
citizens to become police officers.
So this is the insanity that is the insult to injury and
everything I've described, Brian.
And one other thing, this is just an announcement.
Meanwhile, Eagle Pass, about 300 miles from where I'm sitting in
Texas. Yuma, AZ and a location along
the California border are going to be locations where a convoy
now on route starting today is going to converge.
And they're going to have rallies and speakers at these
locations. It's called take our
borderback.com. And they're going to protest the
lack of effectiveness, really, the betrayal by U.S.
Federal border officials and border agents.
And also they're skeptical of whether Texas Governor Greg
Abbott is really serious about Operation Lone Star to control
the border. So lots of very urgent and
dramatic matters going on. Brian, I don't know if you guys
have any comments, but that's what's that's what's shaping up.
I just have one quick one. Mark and that is that there's
only one reason that you would want non nationals coming into
posters, police officers or being able to vote and that is
to dilute and the national identity with the incomers.
And So what we're talking about here is revolution.
I've already mentioned that word in today's UK column news and I
think it's it's this is a correct application.
This is about destroying society, American Society in
this case in order to create a revolution where there is going
to be a new system of government and the influx of the migrants
is to help for that process. They are being used and abused
of course to make this happen. Well, let's come on to the
subject of potholes in the road and thanks to Motorcycle News
for this one, well illustrated with this photograph a headline
No hope for fast fixes on potholed UK roads.
And what they're really saying is that across UK and 10s of
thousands of miles of UK roads, they're getting worse and worse.
And even where some pothole fixing programs are happening,
in many places the roads are continuing to become worse
because there is no money apparently, to repair and
maintain our roads. Now why am I putting this to the
audience today? Well, there's not much money
apparently, for anything. We haven't got money in the
Treasury to pay nurses or NHS workers more money.
This suggestion was that a one off payment of 1000 each for a
million NHS nurses. That's certainly a lot of money
and there's a debate to be had. But the point I'm making is the
government saying no money. I could bring up this 190% of
schools in England will run out of money next year.
Heads born, No money to run schools.
We can bring in this one. At least 26 English councils at
risk of bankruptcy in the next two years.
There's no money to run local authorities, but Oh dear, there
is money for war. So here is the House of Commons
library report saying that UK is one of the leading donors to
Ukraine, alongside the US and Germany.
And the UK has pledged almost 12 billion in overall support to
Ukraine since February 2022. So we're just pointing out the
fact that there's no money for we'll call them the good
necessary things in life, but if there's war, then magically the
chess open and outcomes the bullion in order to keep the war
and the killing going. But of course we should remember
that This is Money created from nothing by the banking industry
of the world, and UK column will be commenting on that angle much
more in the coming days and weeks.
But here's the rub. The money isn't given to
Ukraine, of course it's loaned. World Bank's new $1.5 billion
loan will provide relief to households what it might do
initially. But of course the debt trap will
pull those families down. Here we've got the IMF approving
$12.6 billion in a Ukraine loans.
More deaths around the neck necks of the Ukrainians.
The ones that do survive the war.
Here's CNN, where the Americans are finally questioning where
their money has gone. 113 billion is the is the figure in
this case. Where has that money gone in
Ukraine? Well, nobody's too sure, yeah,
but this particular article by CNN did put up the graph on the
right, showing the huge amount of money that US has poured into
this war, but also showing the amounts that other countries
have put in. Germany at $20.58 billion and UK
at 7.38. Now up to £12 billion.
So this is pretty amazing, Plenty of money for war.
Now where does that take us? I think that's back to you,
Alex. A closing.
Segment on overreach by national and supranational bodies.
And they're getting their comeuppance, in some cases the
legacy title. The National Post in Toronto
reports that the Emergencies Act was invoked by Justin Trudeau's
administration unlawfully. Unconstitutionally, that's the
ruling of the Federal Court. Not a but in Canada, they have
the Federal Court, which is a Superior Court.
It's not the court of highest instance, but the governing
Liberal Party will face a steep hurdle in appealing against this
because the whole point of this judgement, which was also
covered by True North here, is that the Emergencies Act should
only be invoked in a democracy as a measure of last resort.
The usual proportionality tests were not carried out is what the
court has found. Consequently, as embedded in
tweets in that True North article, if you go through it
and look at the segments of the the judgement which have been
pulled out, in particular what was also unlawful and
unconstitutional, more particularly, well, the bank
freezes on the truckers, the recommend, the what you could
call it the the commandeering or the requisitioning.
You could even call it the conscription of tow truck owners
in the Toronto area, which did happen.
So we've been talking about conscription earlier, but for
those with tow trucks, it was already carried out a couple of
years ago by Canadian government bodies.
That was also unlawful. As a result, all the unpersoning
of the Canadian truckers which shocked the world during COVID,
as the first time that those fangs were bared anywhere in the
world, has now been overturned, even just on the basis of human
rights, flavoured legislation and the proportionality test.
Meanwhile, a committee of the European Parliament, the
Committee on Culture and Education, has successfully got
through the European Parliament this resolution.
This was actually before Christmas.
It's a report on European historical consciousness and
what's important here is Resolution 12 that the
committee, and hence also the Parliament.
Now, since the adoption stresses the vital role of education,
skip a bit. And here you see in the fourth
of the seventh line, 7 lines of the paragraph to allow for more
emphasis on a supranational historical understanding.
And you're not going to have National History, you're going
to have multiple perspectives on history, which is your ancestors
were evil and fostering corresponding teaching styles
that favour reflection and discussion over knowledge
transfer. So never mind whether you're
wrong about slavery, just Rage Against the machine in the class
and then you'll get your points, info BAE reports.
And this is interesting given Mark's comments a moment ago.
That's under the rotating chairmanship of Paraguay.
Mercosur, the Latin American EU or NAFTA has entered some fairly
advanced negotiations now with the European Union to form a
trade bloc. Javier Garcia de Viedma is the
European Union diplomat in Paraguay who's been following
this and reporting that there is a will on behalf of these two
blocks, that supranational body will talk to supranational body
to form a supranational or maybe supra supranational trading
bloc. Yes, it's got that far.
And you know, the stumbling block here is only that Mercosur
doesn't like the E U.S. economic sanctions because it wants to be
in half in bed with Russia and China as well.
But it's got to that point. And just on another point, in
Strasbourg, the separate body of the European Court of Human
Rights, not product of the EU but an arm of the Council of
Europe, has. Finally, only four years after
the ECLJ and an NGO in Strasbourg started reporting on
these abuses, has finally got a mechanism in place for judges to
report conflicts of interest. And for those whose trials are
coming up to be told, who is likely to judge their case.
So that they can say, would you mind recusing yourself because
you're in Soros pocket and here are the receipts.
It's taken that long, actually, to get even such a basic measure
in that court. The Financial Times as picked up
by Reuters has now taken to naked threat.
Sorry, the is reporting that the EU, the Commission is taking to
naked threats against Hungary. So it's reports that Brussels
has got a strategy to target Hungary's economic weaknesses.
Imperil the foreign it's currency.
Hungary's one of the few EU members that still has its own
currency and collapse investor confidence in order to hurt jobs
and growth. Those bits are in quote.
So the European Union is planning to hurt jobs and growth
of one of its member states if Budapest refuses to lift its
veto on military supplies to Kiev and monetary support.
To that end, the Financial Times has seen that confidential
agreement. The deadline is the 1st of
February and perhaps we see a little more about what's going
on in Brussels now. But just to close things off,
Thomas Sheridan in Ireland, and you might think this is a bit
advanced conversation to over here, but Ireland being Ireland,
it's probably true. He reports that he heard a
passerby say the more culturally entrenched the rainbow flag and
multiculturalism become, the more emphasis is placed upon the
human rights of imported religious extremists, refugees,
sexual psychotics and illegal immigrants.
But at the same time the human rights of the native and
traditional people are diametrically abused
accordingly. And for more on that this, this
show notes will have a couple of links on the hate speech, the
crime of hate speech now being an EU level crime as promulgated
or at least recommended by the European Parliament to the
Council, which will have to legislate on the matter.
So there's a piece there by Brussels signal as well which
gives chapter and verse on that a couple of and finalists as
well. Here's the well known meme of
the red buttons that are all bad options.
Usually it shows nuclear war and something else.
This time, the four buttons in in in light of text and
secessionism, which is coming up now as an agenda, is the poor
Uncle Joe who's sweating a bucket is faced with the options
of war with Russia, war with Iran, war with China, and war
with Texas. And just a final one from me.
I beg your pardon? That's not the right one.
I'll go back. OK, Alex, we'll.
End there. We did have a couple of other
means that we'll save those. Thank you very much for that.
Well, a pretty packed UK column news, so much happening, but
it's very clear that we are being attacked by our own
governments and they are implementing A globalist agenda
which does not have our best interests at heart.
It's up to us to stand up and be counted.
And I'm just going to say thank you for a person in the chat box
that's just pointed out that as we speak, Richard D Hall will be
starting his court case and my goodness, he needs some support.
Because of course, if Richard D Hall goes down, we can be sure
that Mariana Spring and the BBC will be challenging anybody,
anybody who dares to stand up and criticize the UK government
or indeed the BBC over its reporting of matters in UK and
worldwide. We'll leave it there.
Don't just take it, stand up and do something, find a friend.
Because two people are a lot stronger than one.
Alex and Mark, thank you very much for joining me.
We'll be back in a few minutes for UK column Extra and we'll be
talking to Artwell from Oxford on those low traffic
neighbourhoods. So if you're a member, join us
then. Thank you.
Bye, bye.
