1 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,200 Good afternoon. Today is Monday the 29th of 2 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:17,240 January 2024, just after 1:00. Welcome to UK Column News. 3 00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:20,880 Your host today myself, Brian Gerrish, and I'm delighted to be 4 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,960 joined by Alex Thompson and also Mark Anderson from the USA. 5 00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:29,600 And we are delighted to have a special guest who will be 6 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:34,720 joining us for UK Column Extra. And we'll be having a look at 7 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:39,720 some low traffic neighbourhoods in Oxford and what people are 8 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:44,440 doing to stand up against those. But let's kick off with the 9 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,840 serious stuff and that is we appear to have a world full of 10 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,120 politicians that want nothing but war. 11 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,200 Alex, welcome. What have you got to tell us? 12 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,920 Brian The war fever against Russia has reached as far as it 13 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,840 could get. Geographically, it's reached 14 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,680 Australia. So a deputy professor in 15 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,960 Australia, Alexei Muraviev, who's in the realm of national 16 00:01:09,960 --> 00:01:13,760 security and strategy studies, suggests that it is time to 17 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,560 consider conscription. And he reminds his readers that 18 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,080 over half a century ago, when Australia was going through a 19 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,960 constitutional crisis which eventually led to the Crown 20 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,360 deposing of Whitlam, the then Prime Minister, that he 21 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,960 progressively, as it was thought, abolished national 22 00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:32,400 service, the English speaking countries did so earlier than 23 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,160 the continent. Britain had already done so in 24 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,080 1960. But some more RBF is saying it's 25 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,240 time to have these conscripts back because as far as he can 26 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,040 see in Perth, WA, the Russians are about to cause Australia a 27 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,120 problem. I doubt it somehow, but there we 28 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:53,720 go, continuing the northern European shock and awe campaign 29 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,800 which has been reported already with the the Swedes, the Dutch 30 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,520 in the form of Admiral Rob Bauer of NATO and the British getting 31 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,200 in on the ACT. Sir Patrick Sanders. 32 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,720 We now have a Norwegian equivalent so Eric 33 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:11,080 Christopherson who is the chief of staff of the Norwegian Armed 34 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,800 Forces has said we don't have much time. 35 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,440 And a couple of highlights, which Doug Blood, it's in his 36 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,760 interview has brought out, suggest that we don't know 37 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,320 whether we will be at war with Russia within one, two or three 38 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,120 years. It's been written up by others 39 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,680 as though he was saying we will certainly be at war in that 40 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,840 time, which is not quite what he said, but it's getting pretty 41 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,120 desperate now. Of course, NATO and its hangers 42 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,320 on like Australia expect Uncle Sam to ride or sail to the 43 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,880 rescue. The trouble is, as reported to 44 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,880 military.com, that the United States Marines don't sail their 45 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,600 own craft. Unless you know different of 46 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,160 course, with your Old Navy service. 47 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,360 They require the US Navy. It's a separate service branch 48 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,640 in America, unlike the Royal Navy and the Royal Marines being 49 00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:56,160 the same branch, they require them to carry them to the fields 50 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,560 of deployment and battle. And Lieutenant General Carsten 51 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,960 Heckel who is the commander of the combat that development 52 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,640 command at the US Marine Corps has told military.com so it's on 53 00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:09,120 the record now we are simply where we are. 54 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,800 There's no immediate fix. War is a come as you game and 55 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,520 going into more detail the general says that there is 56 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,120 considerable considerable, considerable. 57 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,120 I take that as military panic. Big large by months gaps between 58 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,600 the ME, US. Now these are the units which 59 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,000 combine the US Navy and the military sorry. 60 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,840 And the Marines in order to deploy. 61 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,640 And there have already been cases in Africa where citizens 62 00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:35,640 were at risk and the marines were already raring to go and 63 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,600 storm the beaches. But because of the lack of 64 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,040 amphibious craft, because of the Navy trying to scrimp and save 65 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,920 on the number of vessels in the fleet, even in the biggest Navy 66 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,160 in the world supposedly they weren't able to. 67 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,800 So mutual recriminations going on there. 68 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,680 Meanwhile, the United States wants its allies to help Ukraine 69 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,120 because they can't do so itself anymore. 70 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,920 So the Defence Secretary, Mr. Blinken, has offered his 71 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,120 counterpart in Greece, Mr. Mittal Takis $200 million to 72 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,880 send weapons to Ukraine. And the actually it's not his 73 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,720 counterpart, it's the Greek Prime Minister Blinken, in his 74 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,840 own right, is quoted in Athens News as saying. 75 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,880 We remain interested in the defence potential that Greece 76 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,720 can transfer or sell to Ukraine if these capabilities are of 77 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,760 interest to Ukraine and pending the US government's assessment 78 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,640 of their status. So they'll be in some inspectors 79 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,120 centre warehouse. We, the US Pentagon, may explore 80 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,400 the potential for additional foreign military financing funds 81 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,320 of up to $200 million. Meanwhile, in an extra link 82 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,440 which will be in the show notes, the main Greek daily 83 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,720 Ekathidimini has suggested that Greece is now ready to do battle 84 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,720 with Turkey if necessary. There's been A1 upmanship in the 85 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,120 in having a squadron of F35 fighters on both sides, because 86 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,640 Turkey has extracted from the US that as the price of dropping 87 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,440 its veto on Swedish NATO membership, that Turkey would 88 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:56,440 have an F35 squadron. Meanwhile, floppy rifles in 89 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,440 Germany. Dash Spiegel, which will feature 90 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,760 in a more nefarious role later in this news, reports that the 91 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,040 German Audit Chamber has wrapped the German forces, the 92 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,800 Bundeswehr over the knuckles for deliberately softening the 93 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,760 rigour of the shooting tests that were brought in for the new 94 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:21,240 weapon of choice, the G95-A1, which supposedly didn't meet up 95 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,160 to its shooting tests before being brought into regular 96 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,280 service as the main rifle. As I understand it. 97 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,560 And the there are plenty of documents available to their 98 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,520 Spiegel investigative team which indicate that this was well 99 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,760 known and that the German armed forces just went back to the 100 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,120 drawing board and said let's have less demanding tests so 101 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,360 that this weapon can be rolled out because we've already 102 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,240 decided it will be the next one in service. 103 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,760 Meanwhile in Britain, the constitutional aspects of 104 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,240 declaring war continue to gain attention. 105 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,280 At the University College London Constitution Unit, which, 106 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,800 together with Kings in London, poses as the mainstream 107 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,480 commentator in academia on the British constitution. 108 00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:09,000 They're asking the rhetorical question, how might Keir Starmer 109 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,040 for our overseas viewers? That's the likely next Prime 110 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,920 Minister codify his intended Prevention of Military 111 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,160 Intervention Act with some blurb. 112 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,400 Well, rather than read that turgid stuff, how about this 113 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,400 response, which has been tweeted or exed, as we might now have to 114 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,000 say, by the Western Aid Price Foundation? 115 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,280 That is Philip Ridley and author regularly writing the UK column 116 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,360 and soon to feature in audio content of ours as well. 117 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,280 He's tweeting back in reply to that the tweet of that piece, an 118 00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:39,040 article of his which is still in editors choice on the front page 119 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,200 of our website entitled War Powers. 120 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,880 Is the UK a military dictatorship or is it a legal 121 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,760 limited monarchy? That latter phrase comes from 122 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,760 the claim of Right of Scotland 1689 and is a constitutional 123 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,880 treaty. And he replies that both Sir 124 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,240 Keir Starmer and the the Constitution Unit at UCL should 125 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,560 know that the Crown already has no prerogative to engage in war 126 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,560 to defend place which is not belonging to it without consent 127 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,560 of the British Parliament. See the 1700 Act of Settlement. 128 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,800 No new legislation is required, as set out in my article more 129 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,720 pithily from the Ethno Nationalists side of the 130 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,440 spectrum, I think as often Morgoth is fearless from the 131 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,880 North East of England. He has a piece on the looming 132 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,240 spectre of conscription. And I'll just read this 133 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,080 paragraph because it's too good to miss. 134 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,160 It is a bit in your face, but it has to be at this point, he says 135 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,440 It would be enjoyable to think that chickens were coming home 136 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:31,840 to roost. He's referring to the fact that 137 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,920 people are realising the millennials won't fight and will 138 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,800 actually fight against the government if someone tries to 139 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,960 conscript them. But he says the chickens can't 140 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,680 walk anymore. He then says white boys. 141 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,600 And of course their recruitment is down in America. 142 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,880 Significantly, white boys don't want to have a giggling Russian 143 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,720 girl sitting in an office in Bobrovka fly grenade laden 144 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,280 drones into their gonads as they cower in a bog. 145 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:53,840 He's referring to what happens in Ukraine. 146 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,440 Everyone knows, right? Why? 147 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,680 Says Morkov. Our leaders can't admit. 148 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,920 Why, of course, Because to do so would reveal them as some of the 149 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,280 stupidest people in all of world history ever to hold power. 150 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,320 He's not the only one who thinks that way. 151 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,800 This meme from the cobbled together from The Old Fast Show 152 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,880 shows a yokel stumbling out of his garden shed, as he used to 153 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,640 do every week in British TV comedy. 154 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,040 And he says this week I have been mostly war mongering, so I 155 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,560 think Mark has a bit of comment there on the 156 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:26,920 internationalization of the war. Yeah, Good day, gentlemen. 157 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,560 In Foreign Affairs magazine, as advertised in a Brookings 158 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,360 Institution e-mail, there's a new article. 159 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,320 I didn't have a paywall. It's just called The Next Global 160 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,200 War, written by Hal Brands. There's no question mark at the 161 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,240 end. The Next Global War, A real 162 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,000 quick little snippet. the US isn't facing a formalized 163 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,280 alliance of adversaries as it did during WW2. 164 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,920 It probably won't see a replay of a scenario in which 165 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,160 autocratic powers conquered giant swaths of Eurasia and its 166 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,480 littoral regions. Yet with wars in Eastern Europe 167 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,000 and the Middle East already raging, and ties between 168 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,880 revisionist states becoming more pronounced, all it would take is 169 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,640 a clash in the contested Western Pacific to bring about another 170 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,320 awful scenario, one in which intense interrelated regional 171 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,120 struggles overwhelmed the international system and create 172 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,480 a crisis of global security unlike anything since 1945. 173 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,080 What's interesting there is they're positing the idea that 174 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,480 the international system is what's holding the line and will 175 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,080 only have war if the international system is 176 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,680 overwhelmed, when others would argue, probably myself, that the 177 00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:41,640 international system is actually a failure and exacerbates things 178 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,280 and may very well be the engine of war. 179 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,760 Ultimately it it's a long read, like many ponderous foreign 180 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,680 affairs articles are, but it's just another example of how 181 00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:55,360 they're upping the anti wars. Rumours of wars and the 182 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,760 psychological effect of rumours of wars. 183 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,600 Is the ongoing war a shooting war? 184 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,400 We'd have to wait and see. Thank you very much for that 185 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,960 Mark, and it just reinforces why Morgoth, in his blog on refusing 186 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,600 conscription, describes what we're being called to fight or 187 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,040 the younger among us are being called to fight. 188 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:18,280 He describes it as Globo homo. Alex, thank you. 189 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,800 Thank you very, very much for that report. 190 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,840 And Mark for your comments there. 191 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,720 Alex, from your section, very interesting. 192 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,640 The American military got similar problems to UK. 193 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,680 They can't get ships where they need to be. 194 00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:35,640 They've got manning problems. And we've also got the other 195 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:40,160 question over who is creating these wars and are they actually 196 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,120 legitimate wars since nobody is declaring war? 197 00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:48,080 Well, let's listen to some of the politicians and senior 198 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,480 military people talking and we're kick off here with David 199 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,840 Cameron. Last night, 4 RAF Typhoons took 200 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,480 part in military action together with the Americans to further 201 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,680 degrade the Houthi capacity to carry out these attacks on 202 00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:07,200 shipping in the Red Sea. What the Houthis are doing is 203 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,880 unacceptable, it's illegal and it's threatening the freedom of 204 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,040 navigation. That's why we've taken the 205 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,560 action. Alongside that action is a whole 206 00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:18,720 set of measures we'll be taking, including sanctions and other 207 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,960 pressure to put on the Houthis. Combined, of course, with the 208 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,680 action the Royal Navy is taking with others in the Red Sea, and 209 00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:29,600 we'll be building the strongest coalition of support to back the 210 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,920 steps that we've been. Well, there we are. 211 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,120 Truly horrible. I wonder how many people 212 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,000 remember Cameron speaking as Prime Minister, putting on his 213 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,080 very posh, very serious voice as he tells the audience and the 214 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,520 world what is actually happening. 215 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:52,480 Those nasty Houthis, Of course we United Kingdom, the US, NATO, 216 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,360 we have not done anything out of the ordinary. 217 00:11:55,680 --> 00:11:58,440 All of this trouble has simply come out of nowhere. 218 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:04,200 But there he is on the word world stage saying what he and 219 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,280 the British military are going to do about it. 220 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,760 All of this, of course is a smokescreen and a lie, because 221 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:16,000 at the moment Britain's military are in Polaris situation with a 222 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,800 lack of equipment and men. And well, let's hear some 223 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,520 further comment from a retired Colonel, Tim Collins. 224 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,000 When you first came to prominence, obviously as a 225 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,200 military leader, the biggest challenge that you might face 226 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,760 were you still in the forces today would be what's happening 227 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,520 in the eastern border of NATO, Russia. 228 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:50,360 Do you think that we are ready, fit to play, play our part in 229 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,880 the defence of Europe? We are in this country 230 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,800 absolutely not ready our our military as a shadow itself or 231 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,160 two of our biggest assets. The the two aircraft carriers 232 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,440 are tied up alongside in Portsmouth when we have a crisis 233 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:10,120 in the Red Sea. So it gets interesting when we 234 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,120 hear Cameron speaking and then we get the reality of the 235 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,960 situation about the UK on forces. 236 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,000 The carriers can't operate in the our Red Sea. 237 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,480 We simply can't get them out there. 238 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,920 We haven't got the supply and the support ships and also the 239 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:28,360 army is getting smaller and less effective, less credible by the 240 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,080 day. So that retired Colonel pointing 241 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,480 it out. But let's go to the boss and 242 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:39,600 General Sanders himself. General Sanders has made no 243 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,880 secret of the fact he thinks the British Army is too small. 244 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,160 The current Conservative government has cut it to its 245 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,720 smallest size in more than 300 years, and General Sanders made 246 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,120 the point that over the last 30 years the British Army has 247 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,320 halved in size. He's made the point that he sees 248 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,640 the current generation of soldiers as a pre war 249 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,960 generation. So we're in a pre war 250 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:11,120 generation, but by some strange events the armed forces have got 251 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,400 smaller and smaller. Many of the media reports are 252 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,320 talking about the British Army shrinking as if it had been put 253 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,520 on the the wrong wash cycle in the washing machine. 254 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,760 But the reality is deliberate calculated policy has been 255 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,320 destroying Britain's military to make it smaller, less effective 256 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,640 and of course weakening it with the woke agenda. 257 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,960 So let's listen to General Sir Patrick Sanders talking about 258 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,640 Future Soldier and something he's discovered. 259 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,080 Well, Future Soldier is a response to the strategic 260 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,480 context we're in. And that was captured I think 261 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,320 pretty well in the integrated review in 2021. 262 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,280 But of course what we've had since then is the Russian 263 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:06,480 invasion of Ukraine. And so although we we 264 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,480 characterize Russia as a threat, I think the threat the, the 265 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,320 speed at which that's accelerated towards us has taken 266 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,280 everyone by surprise. And So what we've done is to 267 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:26,640 adapt at real pace what future soldier set out because we know 268 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,720 that we could be required to fight and certainly we need to 269 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:36,080 be able to deter the threats in Europe this decade future 270 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:40,760 Soldier is incredibly exciting. So at it's heart, it's the most 271 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,480 radical transformation of the British Army that I've 272 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,120 experienced in the 40 years that I've been in uniform. 273 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,040 This is an incredibly exciting time to be joining the army. 274 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,360 And if you're in the army now, you're joined now. 275 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,440 The army you join will look radically different in the 276 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,920 course of the next six or seven years. 277 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,600 And just to give you a sense of of the pace of that, we've now 278 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,280 got a really clear sense of our purpose. 279 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,480 So the Army's purpose is to fight and win wars on land. 280 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,760 Well, Alex, I'm going to ask you for a little bit of help here 281 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,120 because by the time we got to that final statement, he's been 282 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,240 in the Army for 40 years. But apparently it's only now 283 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,640 recently that he's understood what the purpose of the Army 284 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,840 was. I want to say that this man does 285 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,640 not have the mental acumen to do the job he's doing, but there's 286 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,960 something else. It is like he has the mind of a 287 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,280 child. He's trying to tell us that with 288 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,000 all of the intelligence systems in UK and the West, we didn't 289 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,760 see the threat from the Russians. 290 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,400 And Oh my goodness, now we've got a problem because we don't 291 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:52,160 have an army capable of doing anything effective in the field 292 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,680 overseas. But he's only just learned the 293 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,040 purpose of why we have an army. What is? 294 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,480 What's your explanation for the mindset of this man? 295 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,880 Brain scramble of some kind. I'm glad you gave me a bit of a 296 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,960 bridge there before bringing the camera on to me, because I had 297 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,280 to suppress quite a hearty laugh at that last sentence. 298 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,040 As usual, I go for linguistic analysis. 299 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,720 I don't think that somebody as well bred as Sir Patrick really 300 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,280 speaks as casually and sloppily as that, with the dropped 301 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,280 consonants between vowels. People might for short call it 302 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,400 American speech, where of course there's no, there's no 303 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,920 association of register with it. But in Britain, certainly in his 304 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,400 upbringing, that would have been a no go for anyone of class and 305 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,280 reading. So I think he's deliberately 306 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,600 like Tony Blair in his early years of premiership when he 307 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,360 pretended to pronounce football as football. 308 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,440 I think what he's doing here is showing that he's a man of the 309 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,200 people and and putting things in oversimplified terms that 310 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,720 looking up, and if I'm not mistaken to the right as well, 311 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,720 suggests to me a kind of panic or brain freeze moment. 312 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,840 Well, if we've got the senior man having brain freezes, I 313 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,960 don't have any confidence in his ability to defend the nation. 314 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,560 But the second point I want to make is that history shows us a 315 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:15,680 deliberate policy to destroy Britain's military, and the UK 316 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,080 column has been warning and warning over a great many years 317 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,400 on this issue. So let's have a look at some 318 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:26,120 previous reports this this one is up to date. 319 00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:30,560 So this is Sky News. RAF jets flying 3000 miles for 320 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,760 Houthi strikes as flagship aircraft carriers remained in 321 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,920 the UK, and we've talked about that it's partly manning and 322 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,320 partly the sport ships. Here's the male aircraft carrier 323 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:47,280 fiasco, as the UK refuses to deploy either of its 3.5 billion 324 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,400 warships to help tackle Yemen's Houthis. 325 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:56,600 And then we can go back here and have a look at old reports. 326 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,520 RAF cuts could make Britain's airspace vulnerable to attack 327 00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:04,520 competition. To give retired HMS Illustrious 328 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:11,600 and new home, here's HMSR Royals being cut up in a Turkish scrap 329 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,560 yard, scrapping of the RAF Nimrods. 330 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:19,080 British Army cuts are one hell of a risk after Crimea, says 331 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,320 General. And we said at the time to 332 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,520 destroy Britain. Vote Conservative 2015. 333 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,760 So none of this is accidental. This was planned policy by the 334 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,960 political parties labouring on it as well, but other things 335 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,920 going on, the wokeness of the military and this was army 336 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,960 fitness test being rewritten to make sure the women could cope 337 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,200 with what was happening. But if you look at the reality 338 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,920 everywhere, women are coming into frontline of the military. 339 00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:54,440 That is a man lost to the frontline and that is a 340 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,040 weakening of the military and maybe contentious with some of 341 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,400 our women. Audience today, but that is the 342 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,880 harsh reality of it. Meanwhile we've got big money 343 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,880 for jobs which are more akin to sitting in an office than being 344 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,360 in uniform for an army. So looking for a new career? 345 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:19,760 Cybersecurity Here we've got Forces TV from 2016 talking 346 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,800 about the sell off of MOD assets in order to build homes. 10 347 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:29,640 military sites to be sold for 7000 homes and apparently every 348 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,480 pound we make by disposing of excess land will be reinvested 349 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,560 into a defence budget that keeps Britain safe. 350 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,600 So that's the reality. Planned destruction. 351 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:46,320 Let's very quickly have a look at what what Boris Johnson had 352 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,120 to say to the idea of recruiting youngsters to fight the 353 00:20:50,120 --> 00:20:55,800 Russians. Lance Corporal Johnson reporting 354 00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:00,160 for duty and responding to the appeal from General Sanders for 355 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,200 a citizen army and encouraging young people across the country 356 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,840 to think of the attractions advantages of some kind of 357 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,360 military training or service. Because at the moment they think 358 00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:16,360 it's either uncool or unethical. Or perhaps they're not following 359 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,880 General Sanders. They're following Colonel 360 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,040 Sanders to find out what we need to do about it, read my column 361 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:29,600 in the Daily Mail. So I just say to the audience, 362 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:34,360 we I have to include myself. I wasn't able to stop him, but 363 00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:38,800 we allowed this person to become a politician who ultimately 364 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,920 destroyed any peace between Ukraine and the Russians. 365 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,200 And this is the idiot now talking to the public on the 366 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,840 lines of getting young people involved to die on the 367 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,880 battlefield. Well, I'll just reiterate what 368 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,760 Alex has shown, which is that the Telegraph here, why it's 369 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,840 maybe too late for the West to avoid war. 370 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,760 And on the right we've got Peter Hitchens, who quite rightly is 371 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,920 pointing out we need to do something to stop this madness. 372 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,480 But I'm going to say even Peter Hitchens doesn't seem able to 373 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,320 put the pieces together of what we're faced with. 374 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:21,240 And there's a little video clip here from AUS man who's now 375 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,720 living in the Donbass warning us. 376 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:28,200 And I think this is a very, very pertinent track which many 377 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,920 people should pay attention to, he tells us what is coming. 378 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,560 Let's have a listen. You know, I've been saying for 379 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,560 10 years that people in the United States should take a 380 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:43,000 lesson from what's happened in Ukraine and understand that, you 381 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:49,680 know, what the US, who controls the Ukrainian government has 382 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:54,120 done to Ukraine? Destroyed the economy, you know, 383 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:59,160 caused the death of millions of their citizens, you know, made 384 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:04,320 them, you know, a pariah and a disgrace on the world political 385 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:09,680 stage, all these things that they have done in Ukraine. 386 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,680 And I've been telling people in America this for 10 years now, 387 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,040 you know, what? The US government and the people 388 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,200 who own and control the US government and the European 389 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,920 governments, what they have done to people in other countries 390 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,920 around the world, they will do to their own citizens too. 391 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,000 So a very simple but very powerful statement. 392 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,880 I'm just going to reinforce it as fast as I can by saying just 393 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,880 have a look back at what was happening. 394 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,000 Here's 2013 and we have Prince Charles who said he's going to 395 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,560 be working with David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Cleggg to 396 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:50,640 recruit an army of 2 million to save a lost generation, a 397 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:55,960 so-called community army. If we have a look at what David 398 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,160 Cameron and others got up to, of course getting the fear factor 399 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:07,240 going with constant commentary on the risks of terrorism and 400 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,360 how terrible terrorist attacks would be. 401 00:24:10,360 --> 00:24:13,720 But this was ramping up the fear, bringing in Prevent 402 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,360 targeting children at school channel, so protecting 403 00:24:18,360 --> 00:24:20,960 vulnerable people from being drawn into terrorism. 404 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:26,080 This was in fact more fear, more spying and leading us through to 405 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:31,160 MAPPA where we have groups across UK spying on individuals 406 00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:35,880 supposedly to keep us safe. And if I just end on this, we 407 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,920 should also remember that Eric Pickles, former community 408 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,760 Minister, said we're going to shake up the balance of power in 409 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,040 this country. We're going to change the nature 410 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,640 of the Constitution, being no doubt about our commitment to 411 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,840 localism. I know I look like an unlikely 412 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,320 revolutionary, but the revolution starts here. 413 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,880 And if people still don't get what the real intent of these 414 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,840 people is, I'll just end here with Michael Gove. 415 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,880 And he was quoted in 2014 as saying so if the right candidate 416 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,320 for any public appointment happens to be a member of the 417 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:16,040 Revolutionary Communist Party or someone who has been generous 418 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,520 enough to support a political party with their hard earned 419 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,480 cash, if they are the right person, then he or she will be 420 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,640 appointed. That's the end of it. 421 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,080 And on that note, let's come across to Mark. 422 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,680 We can clearly show that people in my mind, with a strong 423 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:39,120 communist agenda were working to destroy Britain back in the 424 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:47,440 2013, two 1014 period and I'm sure that they're still at the 425 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,000 treasonous work today. But of course it's the big 426 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,000 globalist organisations that are creating many of the policies 427 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,720 and you've been having a look at the World Economic Forum. 428 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,000 Yeah. Good day again, gentlemen. 429 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,040 The World Economic Forum, of course, conducts that annual 430 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,920 meeting in Davos, and I've got a few slides to show, not too 431 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,520 many. And I had to focus on AI. 432 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,160 There's a lot you can look at. So breaking it down, the rapid 433 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,040 growth of artificial intelligence has raised critical 434 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:26,720 questions and they have asked some good questions at WEF and 435 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,920 we'll move on from there. Given that AI will impact our 436 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,680 societies and industries, what solutions, dialogue and 437 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,800 education are needed? All generally good questions, 438 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,800 good things to explore. And we do have a video clip 439 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,320 coming up. This is Alexandra Reeve, given. 440 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,360 She does make some good points, but then I've got some other 441 00:26:46,360 --> 00:26:49,360 context to share that will paint a broader picture. 442 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,440 A second area that we need to think about is surveillance. 443 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:59,040 How much easier it becomes for governments to surveil their 444 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,080 populations, particularly in regimes that have poor human 445 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,440 rights records or authoritarian regimes face recognition 446 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,680 technology, we all know. What that is, that is AI 447 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,480 powered, right? The way that that system is 448 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,120 trained and it learns, we've seen that deployed to surveil 449 00:27:13,120 --> 00:27:17,280 protests to identify suspects in a protest so they can be pulled 450 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,320 out. To caution people against 451 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,040 protesting and participating in those public spaces. 452 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,480 So you can see that there are some good points raised there, 453 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,240 but if you look at it contextually, you can pick out 454 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,960 some things, especially things that aren't shown on the video. 455 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,720 For example, she said that those other regimes, those 456 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,880 authoritarian regimes, they might misuse AI. 457 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,240 She's making that initial bias, that fundamental bias that's 458 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:51,640 very common at the WEF, that it's only the other guys, Viktor 459 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:56,760 Orban's Hungary, Vladimir Putin's Russia, and so on, that 460 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,280 will abuse these things. It could never be the EU, it 461 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,360 could never be the United States. 462 00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:05,880 It could never be Britain. And so those are valid concerns. 463 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,800 But the context is very important. 464 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,960 Some of the other comments, briefly there was a futurist and 465 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,960 black investor. Will I am, he goes by that name. 466 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,600 Will I am. And he he said things like the 467 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,440 AI will be a whole new way to unearth tomorrow's industries. 468 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:28,280 Because we know AI is going to topple, that is topple today's 469 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,920 industries. And there's other questions. 470 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:35,520 You know, Uber drivers, bean counters at financial 471 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,960 institutions, various clerks, their jobs will be gone under 472 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,160 AI. There's different ramifications 473 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,600 for that. AI mimics, but it does not 474 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,840 really futurize. It can't imagine. 475 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,680 So they're calling on the young of the world, the youth of the 476 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:54,440 world, to combine their inherent innate imagination with AI. 477 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,760 Things like that. Mister Gupta talked about this 478 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:04,480 is to Manchu Gupta. He's an Indian AI expert. 479 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,280 Kim Manchu Gupta. He talked about farmers being 480 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:13,280 able to get a drought resistance seeds cheaper and faster with 481 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,680 the use of AI. There may see may be some 482 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:20,240 advantages there, and so on many other things. 483 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:24,560 There's concern that people whose financial benefits and 484 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,880 eligibility is based on AI may lose their benefits because AI 485 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:34,120 will misread their background. So there's there is a palpable 486 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,840 and maybe sufficient concern being expressed at the World 487 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,680 Economic Forum about the pitfalls of AI. 488 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:46,080 But on the other hand, there's this kind of mindset that AI has 489 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:50,280 to be adopted in all it in its entirety, and that we simply 490 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,560 have to navigate the choppy waters of dealing with all the 491 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,760 ramifications, especially the negatives, of course. 492 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:01,720 So it's a full embrace of AI, and the inherent bias that I 493 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,280 talked about creates a lot of problems because only those 494 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,360 other countries, only those authoritarian regimes would 495 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,520 would abuse it. And the EU couldn't possibly be 496 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,560 authoritarian. Neither could the US nor 497 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,520 Britain, and we have another slide here. 498 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,520 This is an aspect of AI that's perhaps being overlooked in the 499 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,520 movie War Games, released in June 1983. 500 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,600 In the US, the lead character, a skilled teen computer hacker 501 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,760 played by Matthew Broderick, inadvertently hacks into Joshua, 502 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,360 an AI computer trained to fight nuclear war games. 503 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,680 But Joshua thinks the games are real. 504 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,240 So when the character in the movie begins to engage with 505 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:46,760 Joshua, Joshua actually starts a scenario that all the nuclear 506 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:51,280 powers on their surveillance screens, on their monitoring 507 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,440 screens, thinks is real. And I wrote an article a few 508 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,520 years back, Brian, and I'm going to get this for next week. 509 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:03,000 I believe there's already been a lot of studies and contemplation 510 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:07,600 and developments of prototypes of computers that would fight 511 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:12,200 war automatically, that would fight war without much human 512 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,480 intervention other than the initial input of data, which is 513 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,800 a lot like Joshua and the war games movie. 514 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,840 So the war games fiction could become fact if these 515 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,960 developments keep going and computers are developed to fight 516 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:31,480 wars on autopilot. And so that's that's another 517 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,240 dimension of this that wasn't really mentioned at the World 518 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,560 Economic Forum. And just to wind up and maybe 519 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,720 you guys want to comment, I'll be trying to cover, as best I 520 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,640 can, artificial intelligence and climate change coming up at 521 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,360 what's known as the South by Southwest Austin, TX annual 522 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,480 event. Some people call it World 523 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,760 Economic Forum Junior in some aspects. 524 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,880 That true, that's true. Not in all aspects, but as you 525 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,160 can see, artificial intelligence is part of it. 526 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,800 They're spending like five or six days on it and almost as 527 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,400 many days on climate change. So there is sort of a similar 528 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,120 WEF on my side of the pond, but I don't know if you guys have 529 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,080 any comment or questions either you guys. 530 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,880 Mark, the only thing I'll I'll say is that the key point you 531 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,560 made there, of course isn't The World Economic Forum and these 532 00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:25,120 other global powerhouses always regard themselves as being the 533 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,760 good guys and anybody who disagrees with them as being the 534 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,800 bad guys. I think that was a very key 535 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,080 point that you've made there. And of course it's their policy 536 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,680 which is controlling a lot of the politicians worldwide. 537 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,880 Well, let's move on. And as always, we're going to 538 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,200 say thank you very much to everybody who's supporting the 539 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,080 UK column.

So join me for this very amusing 555 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,240 and interesting interview and I'll also say that Moira 556 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:56,400 strongly stood up for the men, even though she's a gutsy woman 557 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,200 herself, so you might like to see that Now. 558 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:03,520 I did mention a guest and I'm delighted to say that Chaka 559 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:07,400 Artwell is going to join us for extra time at the end of the 560 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,520 news and he has been very outspoken against the low 561 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:16,000 traffic neighbourhoods which are being implemented in Oxford. 562 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,320 So if you're a member of UK column, you'll be able to join 563 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,280 us for that interview after. Sorry for that discussion after 564 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,080 the news. Now I'd also like to say that 565 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:32,639 several people have pointed out that Anthony Carling needs some 566 00:34:32,639 --> 00:34:35,480 financial help. He's been fighting the banks for 567 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,440 many years and he's now in the horrible situation where his own 568 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,520 home is in danger of being repossessed. 569 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,920 There is a GoFundMe, which you can find here, Santander versus 570 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:51,280 Carlin, urgent funding required, and I believe that he needs 571 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:56,400 another 6000 lbs to help his campaign against the banks 572 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:01,120 effectively stealing property from people and selling 573 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,360 mortgages they're not entitled to sell. 574 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,240 This is a very big battle, and he's at risk of losing his own 575 00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:12,040 home as a result of his courage. Now, good news, we've got a lot 576 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:16,080 of people starting to step forward to take on the system. 577 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,320 This one was sent in to us. The time has come. 578 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:23,280 Calling all men and women of Kernow and basically these are 579 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,760 the groups meeting up at St. Austell Rugby Football Club that 580 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:31,480 Sunday, the 4th of February 2 to 4, to think about what practical 581 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,320 steps people can take to protect themselves and challenge the 582 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,880 system. And we've got another one here. 583 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,400 This is West Somerset Safety Committee. 584 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,440 They've produced a constitution, but essentially they're taking 585 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:49,040 on everything they consider to be dangerous, from 5G to 586 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,800 potholes. More on potholes later in the 587 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,920 news. Education, LED weapons, housing, 588 00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:01,080 elderly support and local crime. And you can see a telephone 589 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,200 number and contact details at the bottom bottom of that 590 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:08,200 report. Now Alex, let's bring you back 591 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,680 on screen because you've got a little video clip for us here. 592 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:16,240 Let's just start that playing. This has been spotted at 593 00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:20,040 Headgate and then 10 S Way in Colchester in Essex. 594 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,960 Someone eagle eyed has noticed that if you look at Google 595 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,840 Earth's mapping of that street, you'll find a series of natty 596 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,160 yellow boards and protesters holding them along the side of 597 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:31,600 the road. That is of course the yellow 598 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,760 board movement and they have now been immortalised in Google 599 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,720 Earth. So well done to them for that. 600 00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:39,200 It's interesting how Google Earth manages to get some of the 601 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,200 the real world in there. But moving on to a segment I now 602 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:47,040 have on immigration on the European continent to set the 603 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,720 scene. Although it is from last summer, 604 00:36:48,720 --> 00:36:51,360 not brand new. There is a Dutch paper out 605 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:56,080 called Borderless Welfare State the Consequences of Immigration 606 00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:00,240 or Public Finances and it's authored by From the Bait 607 00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:04,120 Hartock and Rodenberg. And here is the table which is 608 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,120 really proven to be the the heart of this that there has 609 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:12,440 been a costing now put positive and negative on different kinds 610 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,240 of immigrants to the Netherlands. 611 00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:17,120 This has been done on Dutch budgetary figures against the 612 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,160 opposition of Dutch local and national government figures. 613 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,200 Who said how dare you put a price on people. 614 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,360 Well they have because it's scientific research. 615 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,320 This has been written up among others by defuncal 2 Point O who 616 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,160 has said Dutch research has revealed the true cost of mass 617 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,000 immigration. And the spoiler alert is 618 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,880 westerners bring money in and people from other parts of the 619 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,120 world are bottomless sinks. Not a value judgement on the 620 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:40,960 people, but a necessary thing to note. 621 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,200 Les Echo in France, the equivalent of the Financial 622 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,000 Times reports that the right wing parties in the French 623 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:52,240 Assange de Nacional have attempted to bring in a number 624 00:37:52,240 --> 00:37:56,640 of articles amending the immigration law in France. 625 00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,840 Sadly for them, the Constitutional Council, which 626 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,320 French patriots have long accused of being a captured 627 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,400 body, has struck out in the way that continental bodies of state 628 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,640 do. 32 of these articles informing in a in a tone of 629 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,560 hoteur the parties that these articles don't reach the desired 630 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,600 objective. They consider things like 631 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,120 putting a brake on family reunion visas, particular 632 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,800 monitoring of foreign students, lessening the numbers allowed in 633 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,080 for health reasons. The response to that is that the 634 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:32,000 two right wing parties, including Mrs. Le Pen's party, 635 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,520 which we'll be talking about in a moment, are requiring a 636 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,600 revision of that so that it's clear that the French state has 637 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,400 got on its high horse, this time in Germany. 638 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,880 The mainstream news in the form of the target show here is 639 00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:49,360 reporting, and this is taxpayer funded, that Mrs. Le Pen of the 640 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:53,600 Rasam de Monacional formerly the the National Front in France is 641 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,360 threatening to break with Alternativa for Deutschland at 642 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,160 the European Union level where at the moment they are united in 643 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:04,840 an identitarian block. And the wording of this will be 644 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,440 in the, if you speak French, will be in the video of the 645 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,680 press conference which is in the show notes, in essence Madame Le 646 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,000 Pen instead. And there'll be some explanation 647 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,440 of what this is about in a moment. 648 00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:19,400 But I'm not at all in agreement with the suggestions which were 649 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:24,680 many made in Potsdam in November by the Afd, her party or her 650 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:28,840 fraction colleagues at EU level. We will have to see whether 651 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,680 there's any scope for further collaboration between the 652 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,000 parties. As a result, uh, we are going to 653 00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,400 have to talk about these extremely serious differences of 654 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,040 opinion. What has gone on here to 655 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,920 fracture the unity of the identitarian parties? 656 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,880 Well, the first hint comes in Dash Spiegel. 657 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,960 All of these links of course are in German, but you will be able 658 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,760 to use show notes and then use a translation translation service 659 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,240 online to render them into English or your native language. 660 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,640 DASH Spiegel. Which really has to be quoted a 661 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,120 lot because it sets the tenor of German public opinion, certainly 662 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:06,080 the the ruling classes. Repeats that it's reports now in 663 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:10,160 an opinion piece, uh, that it's time UH, that patients ran out 664 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,480 with Afd. And we've been reporting for 665 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,880 quite a time that Afd and the Dutch Forum for Democracy are on 666 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,480 the point of being banned by the establishment. 667 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:24,200 And So what has prompted this? Well, a journalist's collective 668 00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,800 called Coric Teeve, which makes great shakes about its vaunted 669 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:32,280 independence, came out with this that the new right wing had a 670 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:36,480 secret plan against Germany in what seems to have been classic 671 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,200 Cloak and Daggerstuff. The BFV, the German Interior 672 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,760 Security Ministry, officially called the Constitutional 673 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:48,520 Protection Agency, put bugs in a clock on the wall when there was 674 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,920 a meeting in Potsdam on the 25th of November. 675 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:57,360 And we are told that this included a call or a 676 00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,320 presentation being made by the Austrian Identitarian Martin 677 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,960 Zelner, married to Brittany Pettibone, to give her her 678 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:04,480 maiden name. Some of our views will know that 679 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,080 she was banned from Britain a while ago. 680 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,760 We covered that at the time well, Zelner supposedly said. 681 00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,400 I have a plan to get rid of people to North Africa, even if 682 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,640 they have a German passport already. 683 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,440 If they're of foreign origin, particularly North African, 684 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,160 we'll get rid of them. This is what has prompted these 685 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,320 not at all spontaneous looking protests which we see here 686 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,560 reported on by Der Spiegel. They're carrying the dubious 687 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,640 headline 10s of thousands demonstrate against Afd. 688 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:34,160 They're rather jubilant about this spontaneous demonstration 689 00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,840 of public disgust. Meanwhile, they also carry a 690 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:42,440 column by Susanna Baya, another startlingly young writer, who 691 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,920 says, contrary to what the plebs think, Germany's being very well 692 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,960 governed by its coalition and it's all exaggerated criticism. 693 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,240 She even goes on to say, I know that we journalists are not 694 00:41:53,240 --> 00:41:55,600 supposed to praise the government, but I'm going to 695 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,080 defend them anyway. I'm going to do it because it's 696 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,400 a column, so I can give my opinion, and because critical 697 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:05,200 distance, which is the basis of journalism, also allows me to 698 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,520 know a lot more than the plebs. Now that that last bit is 699 00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,600 paraphrase, what she actually says is that I am able to 700 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,600 question widely accepted truisms, how how wise and clever 701 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,240 of her. So Zelner has put out this 702 00:42:17,240 --> 00:42:20,480 newsletter that's in a red move, which is extremely rare in the 703 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:24,280 Schengen group of countries. He may actually be blocked from 704 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,400 entering Germany by an individually targeted order such 705 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,160 as usually are given to gangsters as a result of what 706 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:31,520 was printed entered at this meeting. 707 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:36,200 Some pictures quite recently of what the Antifa people who 708 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,240 made-up quite quite a bulk of the protesters against the Afd, 709 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,680 what kind of banners they carry, show things like kill the cops, 710 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,320 send the unjabbed into the gas chambers. 711 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:46,800 This is a bit of a couple of years ago. 712 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,640 Obviously. Kill the Afd. 713 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,080 Kill those who think differently. 714 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,680 This is all the kinds of people who were whipped up by the 715 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,240 German BFV, the German equivalent of MI 5 or FBI, to 716 00:42:58,240 --> 00:43:01,320 attend these not at all spontaneous protests. 717 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:05,000 And the curious thing about it is that this corrective 718 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:09,080 collective of, you know, something like Bellingcat in its 719 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,920 formation, somehow managed to get the transcripts of the bug 720 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,560 from the German equivalent to MI 5 from Mr. Selmers meeting. 721 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,800 And we're therefore able to present it as though it was 722 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,320 another Vanze conference leading to a final solution of a racial 723 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,160 problem. Uh, so serious questions to be 724 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:27,440 asked there. Um, if people want more detail 725 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,680 than we can put in this segment, there are uh two particularly 726 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,280 good pieces or writers I should say Tikis Eindlich and right 727 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:35,920 Schuster. The links will be in the show 728 00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:37,880 notes in German. You can find a chapter and verse 729 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,480 on there on who funds corrective, which has always 730 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,800 been the big question. But just to end this segment 731 00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,240 Ogupios the Plague Chronicle has this piece. 732 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,560 Resistance is not futile and people might be thinking it is 733 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,600 at this point. And he stares into the in the 734 00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:56,120 face the real prospect that the FT will be banned and the same 735 00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:57,800 might happen in other countries in the West. 736 00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:02,800 But he says that actually there's there's there's nothing 737 00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:08,800 to worry about here because the every ounce of effort that the 738 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:13,520 establishment is spending on banning parties like Afd is 739 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:17,560 actually doing two things. It's causing them to not be able 740 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,360 to push forward their digital ID or what other other plans they 741 00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,000 have because they have to concentrate on lockdown or the 742 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,600 war with Russia or banning the far right or whatever is there 743 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,240 be in their bonnet. But it also means that the 744 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,280 Liberal Democratic facade, the mask which as they've been 745 00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,480 wearing, slips little by little and can't be put back. 746 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:39,040 And he says that as a result of this, you know that they will. 747 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,440 Here's the sentence. There are a limited number of 748 00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,480 moves available to the authorities here, and sooner or 749 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,480 later they will run out of them. We, on the other hand, will 750 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,480 always be here. Every step towards a more, more 751 00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:54,440 overtly authoritarian politics is a backhanded victory for us. 752 00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:57,360 Alex, thank you very much. It's. 753 00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:00,920 Incredible, isn't it? We've got chaos and breakdown 754 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:06,120 angst happening in in all the countries across the European 755 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,040 Union. It's also here in UK. 756 00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,600 It's happening in the US. This can't be accidental. 757 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,640 This has got to be policy which is coming out of the 758 00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:20,120 geopolitical powerhouses like the World Economic Forum and the 759 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:24,360 World Health Organization. Mark, let's bring you back in 760 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:30,200 because if if there's problems with migration in Europe, we've 761 00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,800 also got it in the States at the moment. 762 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,320 Oh, absolutely on. Steroids like never before in 763 00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,880 this first slide. I can be relatively concise on 764 00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,560 this report. Representative Henry Cuellar. 765 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:47,120 He's from here in Texas and colleagues, they visited Mexico 766 00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,520 on a bipartisan congressional delegation. 767 00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,560 A Cuellar is a Democrat. He went with three Republicans. 768 00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:58,280 We'll move on from there. He had this to say. 769 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,640 This is quite a clever quote. I have long said that the United 770 00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:05,120 States cannot continue playing defense on the 1 yard line known 771 00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:09,080 as the US Mexico border. We must work with Mexico to 772 00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,680 address the historic surge of migration before migrants arrive 773 00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:15,080 at the US border. I'm pleased to when able to 774 00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,360 erase. I'm pleased to have been able to 775 00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:21,000 raise these topics with President Lopez Obrador and 776 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,520 Foreign Minister Barcena. And I look forward to working 777 00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,480 with our ally, that's Mexico to address this crisis. 778 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,840 But all is not well, as we'll see. 779 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,440 We'll move on. This is me recently, this past 780 00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,560 June, with Joe Arpaio, a good friend of Donald Trump's. 781 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,840 He's of course that legendary Maricopa County, Arizona 782 00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,120 sheriff, a man of high integrity, a real lawman, and 783 00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:45,600 there aren't many left. He had something very 784 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,000 interesting to say. I talked to him last night on 785 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:51,720 the phone, Brian for about 1/2 hour, and he reminded me that 786 00:46:51,720 --> 00:46:57,120 when he was a federal DEA agent back in the 70s, he arranged it 787 00:46:57,120 --> 00:47:01,400 so Mexico's military would work with the US military and they 788 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:05,560 would nip in the bud the cartel, shipments of drugs, guns, 789 00:47:05,720 --> 00:47:08,080 trafficking of people and other contraband. 790 00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,880 They would nip it in the bud long before it reached the US 791 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,640 border. And that's how you effectively 792 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,080 fight this. But what Representative Henry 793 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:21,840 Cuellar was told by Mexico as we spend more money on patrolling 794 00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:25,360 our southern border than the US does, we have more men and 795 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:29,080 material material out there to defend our Mexican southern 796 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:33,120 border than the US. However, Mr. Arpaio, Sheriff 797 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,840 Arpaio agreed with me that you can't really trust what Mexico 798 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,000 says. When Donald Trump was in as 799 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,960 president, he brought Mexico to the table by threatening a lot 800 00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:46,760 of tariffs and other financial penalties on them if they didn't 801 00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,280 cooperate and the border was a lot more secure. 802 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:54,360 Now this next slide will segue into one other major item for 803 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,120 today. This is the migration and the 804 00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:01,840 2030 Agenda by the International Organization for Migration of 805 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,720 the United Nations. And what's significant here is 806 00:48:04,720 --> 00:48:09,280 that two young citizen journalists, Anthony and Joshua 807 00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,760 Rubin, recently brought out a video where they embedded 808 00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:18,400 themselves in the migrate migratory caravans and they 809 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:22,160 start in Quito, Ecuador. And they embedded themselves in 810 00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,400 this long trek all the way through the Darien Gap jungle, 811 00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:29,280 very dangerous all the way through Panama, Costa Rica, 812 00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:33,440 Nicaragua, on up to Guatemala, across the Mexican border. 813 00:48:33,720 --> 00:48:36,680 And when they got to the Mexican border and went across other 814 00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,960 borders, there were no border agents visible, especially in 815 00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,920 Mexico, where they say they're out spending the US on their 816 00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:47,400 southern border security. There was no sign of any border 817 00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,480 security being enacted by Mexico. 818 00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:53,160 Therefore, it appears that Mexico is just allowing these 819 00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:58,480 caravans to traverse Mexico up toward Texas and other areas 820 00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,600 along the US southern border without any intervention 821 00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,240 whatsoever. So Representative Henry Cuellar 822 00:49:04,240 --> 00:49:07,280 and his delegation, apparently, apparently, I'll stress that 823 00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:12,800 word was lied to based on what we know now and along the way, 824 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:16,480 The IOM, the International Organization for Migration, 825 00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:20,440 Brian, they had posters and advertisements all along that 826 00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:23,280 long trek from Ecuador to the Texas border. 827 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:28,040 And the European Union had posters and Doctors Without 828 00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:31,240 Borders had advertisements and all of that. 829 00:49:31,240 --> 00:49:35,120 All of those organizations, Brian, help set up supply chains 830 00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:39,840 and supply depots and stations where the migrants, as they're 831 00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:44,400 called, can get food, water, clothing, other supplies. 832 00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:49,640 So even the EU as as as well as the UN associated IOM are 833 00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:55,080 actually physically and tangibly helping this invasion to the US 834 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:55,680 even. Why? 835 00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:59,840 Even while Mexico apparently is exaggerating or completely 836 00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:04,960 misrepresenting its own border security measures, and to wind 837 00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,520 up for today's report, I have just a couple more slides. 838 00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:11,400 This also comes from the report from those citizen journalists. 839 00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:15,000 Meanwhile, New York City becomes the largest municipality in the 840 00:50:15,240 --> 00:50:18,800 US to allow non citizens to vote in local elections. 841 00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:22,160 That's from the Washington Post and a paper called the Eagle. 842 00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:25,880 Non citizens will be able to vote in DC starting next year. 843 00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,160 A couple other things here and that'll be concluding. 844 00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:33,880 The Illinois legislation would allow US non citizens to become 845 00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:36,640 police officers. Imagine that they break the law 846 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,800 to get here and that these illegals then could become 847 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:43,040 police officers. Conceivably states look to hire 848 00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:46,280 illegal immigrants to fatten struggling police departments 849 00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,000 there. It's more blunt and new. 850 00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:52,480 California allow new California law, excuse me, allows non-us 851 00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,360 citizens to become police officers. 852 00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:59,000 So this is the insanity that is the insult to injury and 853 00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,520 everything I've described, Brian. 854 00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,040 And one other thing, this is just an announcement. 855 00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:07,360 Meanwhile, Eagle Pass, about 300 miles from where I'm sitting in 856 00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:10,560 Texas. Yuma, AZ and a location along 857 00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:14,720 the California border are going to be locations where a convoy 858 00:51:14,720 --> 00:51:18,400 now on route starting today is going to converge. 859 00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,480 And they're going to have rallies and speakers at these 860 00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:23,480 locations. It's called take our 861 00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,920 borderback.com. And they're going to protest the 862 00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:31,520 lack of effectiveness, really, the betrayal by U.S. 863 00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,120 Federal border officials and border agents. 864 00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:37,800 And also they're skeptical of whether Texas Governor Greg 865 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:41,360 Abbott is really serious about Operation Lone Star to control 866 00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:46,280 the border. So lots of very urgent and 867 00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,320 dramatic matters going on. Brian, I don't know if you guys 868 00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:52,080 have any comments, but that's what's that's what's shaping up. 869 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,680 I just have one quick one. Mark and that is that there's 870 00:51:55,680 --> 00:52:00,520 only one reason that you would want non nationals coming into 871 00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:04,400 posters, police officers or being able to vote and that is 872 00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:09,440 to dilute and the national identity with the incomers. 873 00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,720 And So what we're talking about here is revolution. 874 00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:17,360 I've already mentioned that word in today's UK column news and I 875 00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,880 think it's it's this is a correct application. 876 00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:24,720 This is about destroying society, American Society in 877 00:52:24,720 --> 00:52:29,080 this case in order to create a revolution where there is going 878 00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:33,400 to be a new system of government and the influx of the migrants 879 00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:37,640 is to help for that process. They are being used and abused 880 00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:40,600 of course to make this happen. Well, let's come on to the 881 00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:45,600 subject of potholes in the road and thanks to Motorcycle News 882 00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:50,040 for this one, well illustrated with this photograph a headline 883 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:54,680 No hope for fast fixes on potholed UK roads. 884 00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:58,560 And what they're really saying is that across UK and 10s of 885 00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:02,720 thousands of miles of UK roads, they're getting worse and worse. 886 00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,480 And even where some pothole fixing programs are happening, 887 00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:12,040 in many places the roads are continuing to become worse 888 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:16,680 because there is no money apparently, to repair and 889 00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:20,480 maintain our roads. Now why am I putting this to the 890 00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:23,720 audience today? Well, there's not much money 891 00:53:23,720 --> 00:53:27,000 apparently, for anything. We haven't got money in the 892 00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:31,280 Treasury to pay nurses or NHS workers more money. 893 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:35,360 This suggestion was that a one off payment of 1000 each for a 894 00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:39,000 million NHS nurses. That's certainly a lot of money 895 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,240 and there's a debate to be had. But the point I'm making is the 896 00:53:42,240 --> 00:53:47,120 government saying no money. I could bring up this 190% of 897 00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:49,800 schools in England will run out of money next year. 898 00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,920 Heads born, No money to run schools. 899 00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:57,160 We can bring in this one. At least 26 English councils at 900 00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,520 risk of bankruptcy in the next two years. 901 00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:04,480 There's no money to run local authorities, but Oh dear, there 902 00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:08,360 is money for war. So here is the House of Commons 903 00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:12,240 library report saying that UK is one of the leading donors to 904 00:54:12,240 --> 00:54:14,440 Ukraine, alongside the US and Germany. 905 00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:19,200 And the UK has pledged almost 12 billion in overall support to 906 00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:23,480 Ukraine since February 2022. So we're just pointing out the 907 00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:26,920 fact that there's no money for we'll call them the good 908 00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:31,600 necessary things in life, but if there's war, then magically the 909 00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:36,600 chess open and outcomes the bullion in order to keep the war 910 00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:40,040 and the killing going. But of course we should remember 911 00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:44,400 that This is Money created from nothing by the banking industry 912 00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:49,280 of the world, and UK column will be commenting on that angle much 913 00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:52,440 more in the coming days and weeks. 914 00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:55,840 But here's the rub. The money isn't given to 915 00:54:55,840 --> 00:55:00,400 Ukraine, of course it's loaned. World Bank's new $1.5 billion 916 00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:04,280 loan will provide relief to households what it might do 917 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,600 initially. But of course the debt trap will 918 00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:10,760 pull those families down. Here we've got the IMF approving 919 00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:14,600 $12.6 billion in a Ukraine loans. 920 00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:18,160 More deaths around the neck necks of the Ukrainians. 921 00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,120 The ones that do survive the war. 922 00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:25,240 Here's CNN, where the Americans are finally questioning where 923 00:55:25,240 --> 00:55:29,880 their money has gone. 113 billion is the is the figure in 924 00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:33,360 this case. Where has that money gone in 925 00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:36,440 Ukraine? Well, nobody's too sure, yeah, 926 00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:40,880 but this particular article by CNN did put up the graph on the 927 00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:44,760 right, showing the huge amount of money that US has poured into 928 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:48,960 this war, but also showing the amounts that other countries 929 00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:57,120 have put in. Germany at $20.58 billion and UK 930 00:55:57,120 --> 00:56:01,480 at 7.38. Now up to £12 billion. 931 00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:05,880 So this is pretty amazing, Plenty of money for war. 932 00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,320 Now where does that take us? I think that's back to you, 933 00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,960 Alex. A closing. 934 00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:16,040 Segment on overreach by national and supranational bodies. 935 00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:18,640 And they're getting their comeuppance, in some cases the 936 00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,640 legacy title. The National Post in Toronto 937 00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:25,960 reports that the Emergencies Act was invoked by Justin Trudeau's 938 00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:29,360 administration unlawfully. Unconstitutionally, that's the 939 00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:32,600 ruling of the Federal Court. Not a but in Canada, they have 940 00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:34,600 the Federal Court, which is a Superior Court. 941 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:38,720 It's not the court of highest instance, but the governing 942 00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:42,880 Liberal Party will face a steep hurdle in appealing against this 943 00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:45,520 because the whole point of this judgement, which was also 944 00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:49,840 covered by True North here, is that the Emergencies Act should 945 00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:52,720 only be invoked in a democracy as a measure of last resort. 946 00:56:52,720 --> 00:56:57,240 The usual proportionality tests were not carried out is what the 947 00:56:57,240 --> 00:56:59,920 court has found. Consequently, as embedded in 948 00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:02,520 tweets in that True North article, if you go through it 949 00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,720 and look at the segments of the the judgement which have been 950 00:57:05,720 --> 00:57:08,800 pulled out, in particular what was also unlawful and 951 00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:11,640 unconstitutional, more particularly, well, the bank 952 00:57:11,720 --> 00:57:15,760 freezes on the truckers, the recommend, the what you could 953 00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:18,160 call it the the commandeering or the requisitioning. 954 00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:22,040 You could even call it the conscription of tow truck owners 955 00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:24,680 in the Toronto area, which did happen. 956 00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,400 So we've been talking about conscription earlier, but for 957 00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:30,040 those with tow trucks, it was already carried out a couple of 958 00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:31,960 years ago by Canadian government bodies. 959 00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:35,200 That was also unlawful. As a result, all the unpersoning 960 00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:38,400 of the Canadian truckers which shocked the world during COVID, 961 00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:40,840 as the first time that those fangs were bared anywhere in the 962 00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:44,880 world, has now been overturned, even just on the basis of human 963 00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,160 rights, flavoured legislation and the proportionality test. 964 00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:51,520 Meanwhile, a committee of the European Parliament, the 965 00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:54,720 Committee on Culture and Education, has successfully got 966 00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:57,800 through the European Parliament this resolution. 967 00:57:57,800 --> 00:57:59,560 This was actually before Christmas. 968 00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:03,440 It's a report on European historical consciousness and 969 00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:07,280 what's important here is Resolution 12 that the 970 00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:08,880 committee, and hence also the Parliament. 971 00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:12,160 Now, since the adoption stresses the vital role of education, 972 00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,080 skip a bit. And here you see in the fourth 973 00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:18,520 of the seventh line, 7 lines of the paragraph to allow for more 974 00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:23,000 emphasis on a supranational historical understanding. 975 00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:25,280 And you're not going to have National History, you're going 976 00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:28,920 to have multiple perspectives on history, which is your ancestors 977 00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:32,920 were evil and fostering corresponding teaching styles 978 00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:35,480 that favour reflection and discussion over knowledge 979 00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:37,200 transfer. So never mind whether you're 980 00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:40,160 wrong about slavery, just Rage Against the machine in the class 981 00:58:40,160 --> 00:58:44,200 and then you'll get your points, info BAE reports. 982 00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:47,000 And this is interesting given Mark's comments a moment ago. 983 00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:50,640 That's under the rotating chairmanship of Paraguay. 984 00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:56,360 Mercosur, the Latin American EU or NAFTA has entered some fairly 985 00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:59,280 advanced negotiations now with the European Union to form a 986 00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:02,320 trade bloc. Javier Garcia de Viedma is the 987 00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:07,560 European Union diplomat in Paraguay who's been following 988 00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:11,280 this and reporting that there is a will on behalf of these two 989 00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:15,520 blocks, that supranational body will talk to supranational body 990 00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:19,880 to form a supranational or maybe supra supranational trading 991 00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:21,760 bloc. Yes, it's got that far. 992 00:59:22,120 --> 00:59:26,560 And you know, the stumbling block here is only that Mercosur 993 00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:29,360 doesn't like the E U.S. economic sanctions because it wants to be 994 00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:31,680 in half in bed with Russia and China as well. 995 00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:36,240 But it's got to that point. And just on another point, in 996 00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:39,200 Strasbourg, the separate body of the European Court of Human 997 00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:43,040 Rights, not product of the EU but an arm of the Council of 998 00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:46,120 Europe, has. Finally, only four years after 999 00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,960 the ECLJ and an NGO in Strasbourg started reporting on 1000 00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:54,240 these abuses, has finally got a mechanism in place for judges to 1001 00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,160 report conflicts of interest. And for those whose trials are 1002 00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,440 coming up to be told, who is likely to judge their case. 1003 00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:02,160 So that they can say, would you mind recusing yourself because 1004 01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:04,440 you're in Soros pocket and here are the receipts. 1005 01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:08,040 It's taken that long, actually, to get even such a basic measure 1006 01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:11,440 in that court. The Financial Times as picked up 1007 01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:14,240 by Reuters has now taken to naked threat. 1008 01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:18,000 Sorry, the is reporting that the EU, the Commission is taking to 1009 01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:22,920 naked threats against Hungary. So it's reports that Brussels 1010 01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:26,640 has got a strategy to target Hungary's economic weaknesses. 1011 01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:28,400 Imperil the foreign it's currency. 1012 01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:30,520 Hungary's one of the few EU members that still has its own 1013 01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:34,440 currency and collapse investor confidence in order to hurt jobs 1014 01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:36,000 and growth. Those bits are in quote. 1015 01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,880 So the European Union is planning to hurt jobs and growth 1016 01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:42,120 of one of its member states if Budapest refuses to lift its 1017 01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:46,040 veto on military supplies to Kiev and monetary support. 1018 01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:49,200 To that end, the Financial Times has seen that confidential 1019 01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:50,680 agreement. The deadline is the 1st of 1020 01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:54,240 February and perhaps we see a little more about what's going 1021 01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:58,240 on in Brussels now. But just to close things off, 1022 01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:01,640 Thomas Sheridan in Ireland, and you might think this is a bit 1023 01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:04,480 advanced conversation to over here, but Ireland being Ireland, 1024 01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:06,880 it's probably true. He reports that he heard a 1025 01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:11,040 passerby say the more culturally entrenched the rainbow flag and 1026 01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:14,720 multiculturalism become, the more emphasis is placed upon the 1027 01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:18,440 human rights of imported religious extremists, refugees, 1028 01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:21,000 sexual psychotics and illegal immigrants. 1029 01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:23,520 But at the same time the human rights of the native and 1030 01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:26,000 traditional people are diametrically abused 1031 01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,800 accordingly. And for more on that this, this 1032 01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:33,960 show notes will have a couple of links on the hate speech, the 1033 01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:38,000 crime of hate speech now being an EU level crime as promulgated 1034 01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,560 or at least recommended by the European Parliament to the 1035 01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:42,640 Council, which will have to legislate on the matter. 1036 01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:45,920 So there's a piece there by Brussels signal as well which 1037 01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,840 gives chapter and verse on that a couple of and finalists as 1038 01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:50,720 well. Here's the well known meme of 1039 01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:52,520 the red buttons that are all bad options. 1040 01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:54,640 Usually it shows nuclear war and something else. 1041 01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:58,160 This time, the four buttons in in in light of text and 1042 01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:01,640 secessionism, which is coming up now as an agenda, is the poor 1043 01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:04,560 Uncle Joe who's sweating a bucket is faced with the options 1044 01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:08,480 of war with Russia, war with Iran, war with China, and war 1045 01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:11,160 with Texas. And just a final one from me. 1046 01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:12,680 I beg your pardon? That's not the right one. 1047 01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:16,040 I'll go back. OK, Alex, we'll. 1048 01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:17,560 End there. We did have a couple of other 1049 01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:21,080 means that we'll save those. Thank you very much for that. 1050 01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:25,240 Well, a pretty packed UK column news, so much happening, but 1051 01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:28,240 it's very clear that we are being attacked by our own 1052 01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:32,440 governments and they are implementing A globalist agenda 1053 01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:35,440 which does not have our best interests at heart. 1054 01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:37,960 It's up to us to stand up and be counted. 1055 01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:41,520 And I'm just going to say thank you for a person in the chat box 1056 01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:46,160 that's just pointed out that as we speak, Richard D Hall will be 1057 01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:51,640 starting his court case and my goodness, he needs some support. 1058 01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:56,160 Because of course, if Richard D Hall goes down, we can be sure 1059 01:02:56,200 --> 01:03:00,960 that Mariana Spring and the BBC will be challenging anybody, 1060 01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:05,640 anybody who dares to stand up and criticize the UK government 1061 01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:10,560 or indeed the BBC over its reporting of matters in UK and 1062 01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:13,080 worldwide. We'll leave it there. 1063 01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:17,480 Don't just take it, stand up and do something, find a friend. 1064 01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:20,520 Because two people are a lot stronger than one. 1065 01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:24,400 Alex and Mark, thank you very much for joining me. 1066 01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:28,480 We'll be back in a few minutes for UK column Extra and we'll be 1067 01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:33,280 talking to Artwell from Oxford on those low traffic 1068 01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:35,920 neighbourhoods.
