I'm your host, Brian Gerisch, delighted to be joined today by Diane Rasmussen-McCaddy, speaking to us from Edinburgh, and Ben Rubin talking to us from London. They'll be joining, of course, as usual by video link. Well, we're going to kick off, I think, on the subject of the decline of western civilization, many people in UK today know that something is wrong in this country. They talk about it. They say there's something just not right. They talk about the breakdown of our services, strategic infrastructure. This is not accidental. And I hope in today's news, we're going to give some answers as to what is attacking our society. Well, what better place to start than the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Samoa? We'll put up a picture of our illustrious Prime Minister, who was asked several questions. And of course, he came out with the incredible statement that Israel can continue to do what it likes in the Middle East. Many people believe that is genocide, but Iran must hold back. And critically, he made no mention of the greater Israel Project. Now, Diane is going to be talking more about this meeting a little bit later in the news. But I wanted to focus straight away on an exceptionally good interview. Thank you to redacted for this. But the main man is, of course, Colonel Douglas McGregor. And he wasn't being shy in telling the world what's really going on in the Middle East. Let's have a listen. So when I say, you know, we're on the precipice of World War three, I mean, are we being hyperbolic here? Or is are we, are we already there? And what, what do you think that this means ahead of the election? Well, we're not there. But I don't think you're being hyperbolic. We have to consider the following points. If you look at the current state of affairs on the ground in the Middle East, the Israelis are following the greater Israel plan, which is being on the show for many, many years, this greater Israel plan incorporates at least half of Lebanon, part of Syria, part of Jordan, and of course, is denuded completely of Palestinian Arabs. So that's, that's underway. And I think, though it has not been formally announced, that both London and Washington understand this and are supporting it. Now, what does this mean? This means that at this point in time, the Israelis have done about as much as they can do in Lebanon and Gaza. Now they can continue to bomb and destroy infrastructure. And people are upset over hospitals and schools and other things being destroyed. This is part of the plan. It's to destroy all of the infrastructure, making it impossible for anybody to live there, forcing the millions that live in these places to leave, to go somewhere else, or die one way or the other. And this is what we in London are strongly supporting. However, the Israelis are not winning, per se, on the battlefield. In other words, they're taking losses in southern Lebanon that are quite heavy. They continue to take losses down in Gaza whenever they go in on the ground. They realize that they cannot continue on this path without some sort of dramatic victory elsewhere. And the elsewhere, frankly, is Iran. They've got to attack Iran, not in Yahoo knows that he has no choice. The question is one of timing. So it takes a retired American military colonel to tell the world the truth about what's happening. We can't get the truth out of the Biden government or or out of Keir Starmer's government here in UK. Meanwhile, the bloodshed goes on. But where are we being taken? Let's listen to a little bit more of this interview. And this is what people need to understand. It is in his interest, Netanyahu's and Israel's interest to start this war with Iran before the election. Now they currently have done everything in their power. That is Mr. Netanyahu and his agents in the United States pouring vast sums of money into the Trump campaign to ensure that Trump is elected because Trump has made it abundantly clear that he will support unconditionally whatever the Israelis want to do that he backs them. But they can't be entirely sure that once he's elected, he will follow through completely as they would like. At the same time, they have no guarantee and no certainty whatsoever that Kamala Harris will do anything that they want her to do. Yeah, it's got it's got to happen this weekend or next weekend sometime before the election get it underway. Then whoever ultimately wins, even though they're banking heavily on President Trump, they know that they've inherited a war that they just can't walk away from. Now, how does the war from their standpoint really get off the ground? They've got to launch crippling strikes against Iran. They're going to do as much damage as they can, whether or not they'll attack the nuclear facilities open to question. The probability of they're attacking the oil facility, I think, is very high. Again, that's another lucrative target. There are many other things to hit, but those are the two most significant from the Israeli standpoint. Well, there we are, pretty black and white analysis. Diane, let's bring you in. What's happening on the ground in the US elections at the moment? Oh, hello, Brian. Thanks for having me today. And hello, Ben. Yeah, so the most important thing apparently, and that happened politically in 2024 so far, according to some people on Twitter/x, was Trump on Joe Rogan over the weekend. He's had, as of this morning, 33 million views on YouTube, a three-hour interview, a discussion between Joe Rogan and Trump. I want to play just a short clip from this three-hour video because it relates to what I reported last week about Trump working at McDonald's. Let's see what Trump had to say, and let's see what's really important. And I actually got a call from your friends at Google from Sundar. That's pretty good, right? He said, "This is the biggest thing we've had in years." You have McDonald's? Did you know that? It was one of the... It was funny. Who's a great guy, by the way? But he said, "This McDonald's thing I want to tell you, it's one of the biggest things we've ever had on Google. It just hit." But the reason I did it, and I actually, you never know about this stuff, I thought it was a throwaway. I didn't think our conversations throw away, but I thought that was, I thought I'd walk in, and that was only to highlight the fact. And I have a friend he owns like 56 of these McDonald's. And he said, "Do you want to use one?" I said, "Yeah, I love it." So we went there, and the crowd was crazy. You know, they had 28,000 people around the whole thing. Did you see the outside? It was crazy. The cars couldn't get through. Secret service was not exactly thrilled. They had no idea what they'll... But I went into the place, and I did the French fry thing, and it just hit. But that's like in life. Sometimes you do. I thought it was like a quick throwaway. We're going to be there for 15 minutes. Then I said, "I've worked here for 15 minutes, which is 15 minutes more than she worked here." She lied about McDonald's. And you know, is that proven that she never wants to be found? Well, McDonald's has no information. She has no information. The manager said she'd never worked there. You know, it was a certain place, and he said they never... No, she lied. She's a liar. You know what they do? They'll say, like, or any one of the questions. They'll say, "It's the exact opposite of what I say." So we have the breakdown of Western civilization going on. We have terrible conflicts in the Middle East, and Trump is really worried about who saw him delivering French fries to the drivers at McDonald's. But let's look at Google Trends. And anyone can look at Google Trends if you want to see what people are talking about, what they're searching, what they're looking at. And worldwide, from the past several days, you see that Kamala Harris is actually a head of Trump in terms of Google searches and interactions with Kamala Harris. So I'm not sure that his claim about Google blowing up when he was at McDonald's is really entirely true. After all, if we look at actual data. So if you look at some of the media that's been covering the podcast over the weekend, they talked about Trump talking about space people. So again, with my coverage on space continuing, Trump's saying there's no reason to think that Mars and all these planets don't have life. Maybe it's life we don't know. They are solid, beautiful people. They said this is something sir. This is something they're not conspiracy guys. So we don't really know what that means, but it's very intriguing. So also over the weekend, we had Kamala Harris. You know, since we have the election coming up in just a few days, next Tuesday, November 5th, luckily, it'll be over soon. And what we have here is we see the celebrity status coming in. So we had Kamala Harris' events in Houston. She had Beyonce's mother introducing Beyonce and there's like the three of them hugging on stage. And the big focus on this particular rally in Houston was reproductive freedom. And we'll see what Kamala Harris had to say and what happened in response. It is an honor to be here with so many leaders and all of you who have taken the time out of your busy lives to be here this evening so we can, as a community of people, as people who love our country, be clear, sound strong, and stand in favor of the freedom of every woman to make decisions about her own body. I also want to thank the members of Congress who are here, including Colin Allred. I'm counting on you to send them to the United States Senate so we can get right to work. And to all the elected officials and community leaders, I thank you all. I thank you. See you later. See you later. So we saw there Kamala's famous fake smile. She's smiling while somebody was getting thrown out of her rally. The mainstream media was covering this that basically what it said was that she was interrupted four times during 10 minutes and then she went on to say the beauty of the campaign is that we're fighting for democracy. And of course as well Trump had people kicked out of his rallies in 2016 when there were people that didn't agree with him. It doesn't seem very democratic to me. Donald Trump had a massive rally according to certain reports at Madison Square Garden in New York yesterday. So this was definitely a star-studded event. I have a full list of the speakers that will be available on the show notes, but they included Elon Musk, who was there, Hulk Hogan. You've got to have Hulk Hogan on a political rally. And it was interesting because this one started with a prayer. And we see Elon Musk in the next slide. We see him there with his with his MAGA hat on. So of course people are really angry about Elon Musk taking a political stance for various reasons. I want to say that one of my favorite parts of the entire thing was Dr. Phil. So if you know Dr. Phil from from back from Oprah Times, let's see what Dr. Phil had to say. >> He's just better at it. And the same thing is true. When the Democrats or Harris call him fascist, Hitler, racist, misogynist or crook, is that bullying will not really, it's ugly, but with the First Amendment, which we all want to keep, there's no imbalance of power. So it's not bullying. It's just like when he does. It may not be the best use of energy, but when you attack civilians, when you attack a citizen and you use the power of the internet, you use mob mentality, you incite people to gang up and cause boycotts, then it's beyond ugly. And that's what's happening in this country right now, and that's not okay. >> So what happens in response to all of this, if you look at all of the mainstream media, different sources, this is just one example from Sky News saying that he was evoking Nazism because there was a Nazi rally in Madison's war garden in 1939, just months before the outbreak of the Second World War. So this goes along with the social media narrative that is quote unquote Trump is literally Hitler. I think that doesn't really make any sense for a lot of reasons. What happened to another one of Kamala Harris' rallies over the weekend in Michigan, my home state? >> We are fighting for America's future, and we understand the opportunity we have before us to turn the page on the fear [LAUGH] >> So obviously that was someone wanting to end the war in Gaza, and one of the chance that we heard in the earlier Kamala Harris clip as well is we're not going back, which doesn't make any sense to me because she's been in there for almost four years now. So what are we not going back to? I don't quite understand. I thought just for the sake of interest, especially for UK viewers, I would show an example of what my US election ballot, obviously a blank ballot at this point that I wasn't going to show you, the completed one, and along with some directions, just so that you understand quickly difference. And if you want to see this in more detail, I've included a link to a sample ballot from my state, from Missouri, which is the last date I lived in, which is where I now vote, if you want to see a general ballot. So we see the directions here, which are interesting because it says that it is due by the 8th of November of 2024, election date is November the 5th. So it's my vote really going to count. We see typos, and why are you apostrophe are you completed? So all of the typos and weird lettering and formatting, just another example of the breakdown of Western society, in my opinion. And just some screenshots here, again, you can see these in more detail on the show notes. So we see the number of things you can vote for. You vote for president, vice president, state treasurer, attorney general, different court positions, including the Supreme Court Court of Appeals, circuit courts. On the next slide, we have more screenshots of more offices that we can vote for, senator, governor of the state, lieutenant governor, US representatives, state senators, representatives, more courts for appeals, and so on. And we also have amendments to state and city laws, which are particularly interesting and sometimes a bit confusing because they get left out. We have constitutional amendments all the way from regulating license sports to an additional gambling boat license located under rivers somewhere in the state, all the way to the much bigger issue of being a pro-choice, pro-contraception, and what that means for emitting the constitution. We have whether or not people who are not citizens should be allowed to vote to make all of the laws consistent, which is interesting considering what's going on with immigration. And at the city level, we have things like, do we change the name of the Department of Streets to the Department of Transportation? Do we change the budgets situation and the order in which we do things? We have exceptions to fines for vacant properties. So we see a range of issues. And finally, I just want to point out that there is an effort toward independent candidates, but it's very small. This is one from Missouri called the Better Party. And the point is just to make people have more independent candidates to choose from. And there are two on the ballot in Missouri, one for US representative and one for US Senate. So Brian, I hope that they do well, but I'm not sure that they will. What do you think? Well, we wait to see, but let's move on through the news because we're going to take a little more of a detailed look at what's happening in America. And we're going to be using some CIA men to tell us what's really going on before we get there. Let's just remind ourselves that here in UK, the propaganda machine, the BBC, this is what I was faced with when it asked me to sign in quick and easy with the BBC. What does this picture mean vacuous childish demeaning? This is the BBC. But of course, what they're doing on the side is manipulating the news. And this was a credible story or non-story where the BBC is more concerned about their journalist, Steve Rosenberg, than what Putin actually said. So there is no story apart from the BBC's own journalists. Now, if we really want to understand what's happening in America, I've had two really informative emails with former CIA men over the last few months. Let's just listen to a little clip by J. Michael Waller author of Big Intel. People are being broken down and therefore they're reacting. Or is this just normal? And yes, the agency is doing something effective by analyzing the behavior of the public to pre-warn of a crime. If you ever met a lot of these social sciences and scientists and spent any time with them, you'll see that a lot of them fit the same profiles that they're applying to others. They're depressed. They have grievances. They have terrible family troubles. They feel alienated to their angry. So they're the ones who are diagnosing the rest of the public. And then with the increased rise, and as you're pointing out, decay of society and the rise in mental illness and the grievances that even normal people will have and the injustices they see in their own government with a, say, a two-tiered system of justice where people standing up for their national traditions are being discriminated against and even arrested while newcomers coming in to destroy those institutions get favorable treatments. Of course, that's going to produce more anger, but it's not the new troublemakers that are going to be blamed and held accountable for it. It's the people who are trying to defend what's always been there, that defend their national traditions who are seen as the the evil doers. What you have though with these social scientists come together and make reports the way you just summarized to the Secret Service is that they're painting a huge segment of the society as prospective enemies. And therefore, that logic demands more and more and more resources to a national security state and a surveillance state to watch everyone before they commit a crime. And this is where you get George Orwell walking right in. And now all of a sudden we become Oceania. So quite chilling words there that basically the people are the enemy of the state and the state is going to build a greater and greater apparatus to deal with us. He's talking about America, but we were talking about the similarities between the system in America and UK. Let's listen to a second former CIA man, Joseph B Sweeney, on the subject of the Department of Justice and how it treated Biden and how it treated Trump. I'm delighted to be joined today by Joseph B Sweeney, who's the author of Dangerous Injustice, how Democrats weaponize the Department of Justice to protect Biden and persecute Trump. And, you know, my book focuses on the weaponization of DOJ and the FBI against conservatives in specifically Trump. But it's more than that. Because really what the Democratic Party in the United States has done is they've weaponized the entire executive branch against their political opponents. And part of the executive branch is the National Archives. And so I do detailed analysis of how the National Archives treated Biden's case and Trump's case. And in Biden's case, I had to wade through hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of pages of releases to the public under the Freedom of Information Act. You can find them, they're out there, and you've got to pan through this large stream of information to get to the nuggets. But I pan through it. And I've done a lot of Freedom of Information Act work in my time for the government. And so I know where to look. And what I found amongst the sea of emails that were released by the National Archives were the ones where they were obviously talking about Biden's case, even though they didn't come out and say it. And so it was fascinating because they're in an email dialogue with Biden's private attorneys. And the archivist is purposefully not mentioning any details. So it's obvious that they're having phone conversations with details, but they're being very cautious not to include details in their emails. But there was enough in there that I could see what was going on, because they were handling this in their own language they use in emails with the utmost discretion. This is when Biden got caught with classified documents originally at his downtown office in DC. Well, they were handling that with the utmost discretion in helping the White House to keep it a secret. So Joseph B Sweeney talking about the use of the justice system in order to cripple one political person over and above another or to protect one and to prosecute another. This is the breakdown of society in the US. The same thing is happening here. Let's listen to the second little clip of Joseph Sweeney talking. After the raid on Mar-a-Lago, I started digging. And I kept digging. And I went all the way back to 2016, which was Trump's first presidential campaign. And during that presidential campaign, the FBI and DOJ had already been weaponized against Trump. And what they were doing back then was they were using intelligence collection authorities, very powerful tools to target Trump's campaign. Now, these collection mechanisms are secret because they're intelligence related. And I thought, well, you know, it's interesting because back then in 2016, they at least had the decency to try and hide their conduct by using intelligence collection methods, which exist in the shadows to target Trump. I mean, you fast forward to the raid on Mar-a-Lago and the current indictments. They're not trying to hide it anymore. Their DOJ and the FBI are openly acting as enforcement arms for the Democratic Party. So this is immensely serious stuff. We've got political parties using not only the justice system for their political aims, but also using the intelligence services. And as I say, with both these ex-CIA men, we were talking about America and pointing out the similarities to what's happening in UK. Ben, let's bring you in because one of the key issues that we also spoke about in those interviews was the woke attack, not only on certain areas of society, but on the security services themselves. Absolutely. Brian Diane, I need to be here. All the viewers are home. We're going to talk about politicization of race and the warring factions that are being created in this country, specifically in the UK, based on racial identity in order to progress extremely divisive and destructive political ideas into the mainstream of British society. Now, before I get into this, it's important to point out that this is completely inorganic, and it has absolutely nothing to do with black culture. I'm going to talk about what they call black people with reference to disorganization, black equity organization. And as I say, this is a completely inorganic movement. There's nothing to do with black culture. This is an agenda that's being pushed by the establishment and corporate money in order to radically reshape British society. Now, black equity organization, as I said, we've spoken about it quite a bit over the past few months. They're there to fight what they call systemic racism and to deliver equity. Now, it's important to define what we mean by equity. I've read this out a few times before, but I'm going to repeat it just to make sure that we're absolutely clear what we're talking about. So, equity and equality, what's the difference? Equality means every person, group of people or segment of society gets the same opportunities, resources, and support. Great. That should be the way that things run. But apparently, we need equity, which goes further. People with different circumstances, those who have been historically marginalized in a press, for example, receive varying levels of opportunities and support so they are able to reach an outcome equal to others. It levels things up. Now, this can only be delivered by a totalitarian state. There is no other way for equity to be delivered in society. Let's just get that out there right up front. Who's this organization run by? An assortment of DBEs, OBEs, KCs, all of whom are living proof that systemic racism isn't actually an issue in our society. There's been no barrier to progress for these individuals who are the trustees of this organization. You've also got David Lammy in there, who's currently serving as Foreign Secretary of the UK. He's one of the most senior people in the British Labor Party. Again, no barrier to progress for David Lammy. Two weeks ago, they launched this report, Black Britain's mandate, shaping our future. We're going to hear a quick introduction now from the CEO of Black Equity Organization, Timmy Okua, and the Youth Trustee, Athian Akich. Thank you for joining us and welcome to the launch of Black Britain's mandate, the voice of Black Britain holding the government to account. Hello, my name is Timmy Okua. I'm the CEO of the Black Equity Organization. BEO is a national civil rights organization for Black people in the UK. We exist to dismantle systemic racism and promote economic, social, legal and political equity for Black communities. Our mission is rooted in empowering Black talent, enterprise and greatness in Britain. Through our work, we strive to ensure that Black people can achieve self-determination and prosperity in a society free from racial discrimination. Hi, my name is Athian Akich. I am the young trustee for BEO. Thank you very much for joining us today. I'm a 22-year-old activist and student from Camden in Northwest London. My role as the young trustee is to support Timmy and the wider organization in the great work that they're doing around racial equality and to provide the perspective of young people from the ground and to articulate our hopes and fears and to ensure that the vision of this organization matches up with what's happening with young people on the ground. So Black Equity Organization is working to free ourselves from racial discrimination by introducing racial discrimination into societies I'll get into. Now, there's a very important word here that was used in the title of the report and it's this one, mandate. Now, what does that mean? An authoritative command or instruction or a command or authorization given by a political electorate to the winner of an election. Now, there's nothing in this report that has been subject to democratic scrutiny at all, but they're claiming to have a mandate to speak on behalf of the whole of Black Britain. Yes, there's only three million people that we're talking about and they believe that they have a mandate because they've run a few interactions with just under 2,000 people. If you talk those numbers up, it works out just under 2,000 people across five cities in the UK, which works out to 0.07% of the population. So apparently, this organization has a mandate to speak on behalf of all Black people based on talking to 0.07% of the population in a highly stage managed process, being run by very powerful and very ideologically compromised, frankly, groups of people. And actually, this is a great example of why these democratic innovations, like cities and assemblies and saltician and that kind of thing, are so dangerous and frankly dishonest because they're coming out and making very bold statements and big demands based on talking to an extraordinarily small number of people. Now, what are the demands? And they are demands, by the way, they actually say in the report, we have policy demands, things that we absolutely must do in response to the mandate that has been handed down from this tiny group of people. And there are 38 in the report. I won't read them all out, but I'll give you a few examples here. And so we can see here, policy demands for a comprehensive cross-government race equality strategy, which would include structural racism and anti-racist pledge, which would be introduced for politicians, prioritizing data and evidence on race, ethnicity and intersectional inequalities. So this is about information gathering and all of that, again, is predicated on the existence of a state which can hoover up this information and hold it and use it to define policy agendas. They want to introduce a minister to oversee race equality strategy. They want to commit to racial justice or black communities, strengthen enforcement of equality legislation, introduce race equality, responsive budgetings. A lot of this is about how money gets deployed across the system. They want to strengthen the Equality Act. They want to expand a new race equality act. And they also want to ratify Article 14 of the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Race Discrimination, which would make the UN the ultimate power that people could appeal to in race discrimination cases, right? So this is actually short circuiting the role of the nation state in governing its own citizens. Really remarkable stuff. A few more examples here. So further policy demands towards racial equity and racial justice in Britain. They want a child poverty task force to look at racial inequalities and child poverty. They want to remove the two child limit for benefits in the first budget really importantly. So actually the state needs to pay for larger families. Take a much greater role in how families are supported. A comprehensive child poverty strategy reforms the social security housing, universal credit. So a lot of this, again, is about wealth redistribution. These are all political items, by the way, right? This is all about projecting power ultimately, right? Changing legislation in order to project power. A few more examples, again, there were 38 in here and I've just pulled out a few mandating ethnicities in disability pay gap reporting, ensuring high quality jobs and subsidised skills training for black workers, right? So again, putting them to the front of the queue ahead of others, which is going to cause division, is going to cause conflict ultimately, tackling low pay and job insecurity to alleviate poverty in black communities, including a national strategy to improve outcomes for black businesses, right? And actually from the video, that was a short clip that I showed you a moment ago. One of the, this is from the extended version of that. We can see here that they actually want the government to intervene in situations where entrepreneurial ventures, small businesses aren't making a profit, right? That's got absolutely nothing to do with the state, right? That's a market issue. So the government intervening there is completely ridiculous, right? And actually, it's not just the market they want to intervene in. This goes right down into dealing with issues of domestic violence, family issues, things that are ultimately social issues, right? It's got nothing to do with governance, right? But they want to introduce government into absolutely area, every area of society. What else is this link to, right? So this is part of a network of these types of organisations pushing this agenda. Well, interestingly, it's directly linked to my life, my say, who we've spoken about previously, this supposedly youth-led charity, which is actually backed by Tony Blair, Chatham House, the Rothschild family, a bunch of other organisations. And we can see here, Athian Achek, the trustee that we just saw in the video a moment ago, speaking at the next generation conference last year. So this was in November last year, they're excited about the, my life, my say conference coming up in a few weeks. So you can see that he's very much involved in what my life, my say are doing. My life, my say are directly linked into what I've already mentioned a few organisations, but one of them is Tortoise Media. Tortoise Media are up at the London Stock Exchange last week, talking about a sustainable investment. And interestingly, we can see here James Harding at the boardroom table at the London Stock Exchange, he's the editor and founder of Tortoise Media. And at the other end of the table, we've got Dan Laws, who's the co-CEO of my life, my say. All right, so this is all essentially the same network. And we think that Tortoise is a reference to Fabianism, because the mascot of the Fabian Society is a Tortoise, or it was up until the 1960s. And actually, MLMS were at the Fabian Society event at the Labor Conference just a few weeks ago. So for me, this is slap bang in the middle of this woke fascism agenda that we've spoken about previously. This is the intersectional Marxism, the woke bit, and the fascist integration of market in state. This unholy alliance between money and power, what I call, which is essentially what I view as the definition of Fabianism. And we talked about the intersectional Marxist piece. Where's the fascist bit? Well, the corporations come in when you look at who backs black equity organisations. So who have we got? Sky, open society, Clifford Chance, Global Council, which is Peter Mandelson's current venture. Sorry, I'm getting my politicians mixed up. McKinsey's still to have made the Paul Hamlin Foundation a bunch of philanthropic and corporate money pushing forward this agenda in the name of black people. Ben, thank you very much for that. We've got to do a lot more to get the lid fully off what's happening in the country. But I have stress again, very interesting that we've now got security, intelligence operatives warning about subversion in America. We've seen the same thing in the UK. Now, for our audience, if you like what we're doing, please support us. We can only do what we do with your financial support. You can make a donation, of course, if you have a look at this on UK call of website, take out a £5 monthly membership, £50 a year, or as some people prefer, to take out a lifetime membership with us. You can buy from the shop and you can also buy useful healthcare products via association with Clive de Carl. So that's all on the website, do have a look at it. And I'm just going to also say that the material we put out is to share and of course, if you have a look on the website, as a member, you can also be commenting and making a difference to what we're putting out. Now, as I've already mentioned in the news, tomorrow at one o'clock, I'm putting out the interview with Joseph B Sweeney, the former CIA head of litigation, absolutely fascinating what this man has to say about what's been going on in the justice system in America in relation to Biden and Trump. So that's at one o'clock tomorrow. Don't miss that. Well, Diane, let's bring you back and take us into that Samoa meeting Commonwealth heads of government. What's been going on? Yeah, thanks, Brian. A lot of people might have missed this, that there was a government meeting of all of the heads of government in Commonwealth that took place last week in Samoa, as you mentioned earlier in the news. The focus was the title One Resilient Common Future, Transforming Our Common Wealth. And notice that common wealth is two words. And that's something we noticed throughout because they're really talking a lot about funneling money to developing countries and away from the West and so on. The theme of resilience over and over again came up, resilient demurok institutions, resilience environment, resilience economies, resilience societies. And so we had both King Charles and Keir Starmer were there. So let's see what King Charles said in part of his opening speech. Over many years, it has become clear to me that public finance, while crucial, will never be sufficient on its own to tackle all of this, let alone achieve any of the United Nations development goals, especially in the timeframes required. The Commonwealth, therefore, has an opportunity to work together with the private sector and civil society to unlock private sector capital for this mission. And in so doing, promote trade and investment and opportunities for young people. I was encouraged to hear yesterday from leading members of the private sector that they recognize their ability and indeed their responsibility to aid and invest in climate transition, in resilience and in nature restoration. I do hope that in your conversations, you are able to answer some of the key questions to achieve this aim. From how to address barriers to investment, to agreeing upon routes to use public finance, to encourage private investment, and crucially, how public private civil society partnerships can be forged so that such arrangements are fair and transparent for all. If, there's gentleman, the Commonwealth can succeed with his endeavor, then it will be an indispensable example to the rest of the world. So I'm not sure what resilience means in King Charles' mind or in the minds of his organizations, but if the resilience means that we are trying to recover from difficulty and are doing well, what difficulties exactly are we recovering from? Again, youth featured quite significantly in this meeting last week, just as we saw in the summit of the future and of all of the viewing high-level meetings that happened a few weeks ago. So we've had quotes here from the youth saying, you know, they will work relentlessly to ensure young people are engaged, especially as we strive for a resilient, common future, and also in pushing towards agenda 30 as quickly as possible. And as I said earlier, Keir Starmer was there. So if we have a silent video of him, he's having a great time smiling, laughing, joking, enjoying the amazing food at the meeting, the tweet that he wrote that went along with this video was, together we can be a driving force of economic growth. So we're seeing over and over again that he's talking about Britain pushing forward with the economy, moving ahead with everything that's happening. But as the press release and the press conference that came out from the end of this conference, which Brian mentioned earlier in the news, he struggled a bit. And we'll talk about that, but first let's see what he had to say in his prepared remarks. We also want to see the Commonwealth put a renewed focus on climate change as the first serving Prime Minister to visit a Pacific island country. It is humbling to see the impact of the climate crisis here and to hear the fears of the people of Samoa. It underlines the need to act. And that's why we restored UK climate leadership, acting at home to transform our energy sector and acting internationally, providing new support to help island communities like this, action to preserve nature, save coral reefs and cut plastic pollution and calling for more ambition at COP in just a few weeks time. So his prepared remarks focused a whole lot on, as I said, resilience, climate, climate change. Some of the questions he had, the prepared questions obviously from the mainstream press over there, he said, Israel has the right to defend itself. He talked about the budget because there are obviously questions with the Ottoman budget coming up next week. He's talking about fixing the foundations, rebuilding the country that we are under threat by authoritarian museums such as China, our democracy and the rule of law and the values are what's the most important thing and so on. But as a result of this set of meetings from last week, we had four documents that came out of it. One was a leader's statement that was 16 pages long, which talked to specifically again about the 2030 agenda for sustainable development goals, being pushed as quickly as possible, climate justice, the importance of developing inclusive, sustainable and resilient post-COVID-19 e-chromonies. Yeah, I'm not really sure what that means. There was a document about the commonwealth ocean declaration, talking about the importance of the ocean, I guess looking at being in a small nation as they were, an island nation, and then the youth form declaration, which again, as I said, the youth was a big focus here, talking about the need for youth engagement to achieve the sustainable development goals as quickly as possible. And finally, the last document which is particular interest of us as a media organization, the commonwealth principles on freedom of expression and the role of media in the governance, which talks about how human right and freedom expression come together and that particularly we need to focus on protection for journalism and media organizations. Charles in particular, when he saw the serve of the weekend, was interested to say that they talked about the critical role of accurate, reliable, accessible information, especially in times of crisis, conflict and emergencies, such as that of the pandemic. I went to focus just a bit and we'll be doing more reporting on this later on UK column around climate finance because climate finance was a particular focus at this meeting. It was a climate breakfast that we're looking at how they can go towards COP 29, which is happening in a few weeks, for the new collective quantified goals on climate finance. And so how do we get there? And what does that mean? Climate finance essentially means that we're going to funnel billions and trillions of pounds, dollars, whatever, into the structure to developing countries, to the organizations that are pushing for fixing the so-called climate crisis, climate justice, and it's set from a floor of US dollars, 100 billion per year, prior to 2025, which we know, of course, is just going to accelerate from there. So what are we doing to get all this money to where they want it to go, taking money from us, from public funds, from taxpayers and so on? So there was a lot of discussion about that at the meeting. The high-level dialogue, as they called it, the high-level ministerial dialogue on the school of climate change should have at least two layers, according to the UK representation that was at the meeting. The outer layer would be in the trillions, should reflect the needs of developing countries. This is about international finance flowing towards developing countries. And the inner layer should be a public core in the billions, with a different character to the outer layer, as it would be mobilized for developing countries from a group of contributors who would be accountable to it. So finally, and again, we'll be reporting on this a bit later as well. Oxfam released a report this month about climate finance being unchecked. There is basically billions of dollars that are not accounted for according to this Oxfam report. Where did it go? It's missing somewhere. The World Bank had it, but they don't really know what they've done with it or where it is, or they can't find it. So there's questions around that. You can read the full report from the show notes. And then finally, I just want to direct viewers to the climate finance data portal, which you can look at for yourself to see where this money is going and where it's being hidden, and what they're doing with it. It's an entire sort of interactive website that you can look at reporting yourself if you want to see exactly what's going on yourself. Diane, thank you very much for taking us through that. And if we have any viewers with us today, viewers, listeners who are thinking, well, why this concentration on matters to do with climate change? The answer is because it is the climate change agenda globally. That agenda is driving every single layer of national politics. And I'm going to show you a bit more of that later in the news. Ben, let's bring you back and reparations is the key subject. Absolutely. And just as a continuation of Diane's excellent segment, thank you for that, Diane, talking about what happened with the Commonwealth leaders last week. And climate finance, climate justice is all being put into the context of this call for reparations, ultimately. And we saw the Commonwealth heads agree that money needs to be paid to make up the slavery. So there's a communicator that's been issued signed by 56 heads of government, including Kirstalma, which acknowledges calls for discussions on "reparatory justice". That's what they call it. And a lot of people have got behind this, as you can imagine. The BBC are quite favourable to it. Tortoise Media, who I spoke about earlier, are quite favourable to it, saying that the rich north have to start listening seriously to demands for reparations from Commonwealth countries. Now, Starmer has said quite explicitly that he's not going to make cash payments, but what they could potentially be offering, I think they're laying the groundwork for this right now, right, is this idea that they're going to provide non-cash forms of reparatory justice. And that's going to involve loads of sustainable tech. So these renewable energy systems, AI systems, digital infrastructure, which is actually the infrastructure for the new world order. And I've made this little meme just to bring that to life for you. So you can see reparations, aren't we kind? We're going to issue restorative justice for the crimes of the past by giving you the apparatus required to further enslave you. And the British taxpayers are going to have to foot the bill for all of that, obviously. Now, this isn't just in the Commonwealth, this is coming from the UK as well, coming from our Parliament. And this is one of the big things that's driving this kind of black equity narrative that I've talked about earlier on in the show. I'm just going to watch a short film here from Dawn Butler, Labour MP Forest Gate, which is from Parliament a couple of weeks ago. The amount of money borrowed for the Slavery Abolition Act was so large that it wasn't paid off until 2015, which means that living British citizens helped pay to end the slave trade. I was absolutely shocked when I received that message. And I thought, I'm a consent to, by taxpayers' money, paying slave owners. So there has been a president's mother and deputy speaker in paying reparations for slavery. It's just being paid to the wrong people. There's lots of things that can be done to make sure we have reparations. And I would say that, yes, it is complex to calculate what is old owed. But let's not forget that in order for slavery to continue, people put a number on people's lives. People were sold for money. So if it could be done, then it can be done now. No good deed goes unpunished, I think is the terminology, right? We paid to free the slaves and anyone who was working up until 2015 and paid UK taxes contributed to that. But apparently, that's not acceptable now to Dawn Butler and many other people were beginning to hear this rear-rich head all over the place. So a whole new way for payments, apparently, needs to be made 200 years down the track. And that's probably, I would imagine, going to involve taxation on British citizens. She's in the Houses of Parliament. It's how these people think and how they operate. But she mentioned the slave owners. Why is she not going to talk to them? Who is that money being paid to? Maybe they're the ones that should be on the hook of it. And actually, all of this stuff is based on a really fundamentally flawed understanding of history. And I made a short film, which is up on my Substack, RiseUK.substack.com, called Prisoners of the Japanese, where I talk about my own grandfather's experience in the Japanese slave labor camps during World War II, which gives some additional context to this that I think is quite important. Ben, thank you very much for that. Well, let's just get on to the subject of defence, or maybe not, because maybe it's climate change. We're going back a couple of years here, but we're starting to focus on a series of documents which are coming out through the Ministry of Defence. This one here, Climate Change is a sustainability strategic approach. So don't worry, they are defending the country from climate change. We can't do much else. Forward a call for action. Why climate change is relevant to defence, from where we are now to where we must get to. Defence is strategic ambition 2050, guiding principles to meet our 2050 strategic ambition. Let's just bring in a few more here. Adaptation and resilience, sustainability in net zero, global leadership, the route to achieving our ambition, and epoch by epoch approach, initial action plan. My goodness, they've been hard at work, not defending the country, well, defending the country from higher temperatures, allegedly. This was the CRASS statement at the beginning of this document by Lieutenant General Richard Nuji. He was formerly Defence Climate Change and Sustainability Review Officer, and his quote was, "If you don't deal with it today, you will not be able to deal with it tomorrow." We're not sure what he's talking about at all there. I'll just bring on a question mark, so we make this one clear. But the forward of this document shared between himself and Jeremy Quinn, who was then the former Minister for Defence Procurement. He said it's now firmly a defence problem. Climate change is a significant challenge. Without adequate assessment of its effects, we leave ourselves exposed. We cannot let our capabilities become less effective against vulnerabilities. We cannot see clearly. Remember that. We can't really see what's going on. We have to afford to keep up with the pace of change, but then he went on to say the threats of our modern worlds made worse by rising seas, extreme weather and creeping desertification. We'll almost certainly lead to more conflict. We've gone from vagaries to now almost certain when it comes to conflict, and then he goes on to say that more conflict itself will damage the planet. Those involved in the conflict will not be able to focus on the climate, and instead will be creating more emissions whilst in conflict, therefore making it far less likely that we can reach any of the climate change Paris goals. I'm just going to say sheer hypocrisy, because the same UK is pouring in billions into those wars in Ukraine and Gaza. We are creating, according to this man, climate change. We couldn't make this nonsense up. It's crazy, but this is very, very dangerous woke policy. The document itself is very childish. It's full of cartoon images, very demeaning on the adult public of UK. But if we get into this document, something really nasty is happening. That matters to do with climate change, equal defence of the nation, and if the military are involved, then national security is at stake, and that brings in the intelligence community. Now what we're beginning to see is the population drowning under state control, all on the back of climate change, for which they admit themselves, it's all a bit vague. So this is a little bit more detail from the documentation. This one made me laugh, because it said that military training could face greater disruption through changing environments and weather conditions, but not to worry, because we can train in a simulator. So let's get those troops toughened up by getting them into a warm air condition simulator. Here's a bit more of the nonsense. I can't show you all of it. There's just too much, but let's bring in this one. It says that defence should actively encourage cross-sector collaboration with other government departments, industry, academia, and international partners. It should be alert to new types of collaboration that are needed to meet the ambition. So this is defence and security now being drilled into the population at large, all on the excuse that this is defending us from climate change. And I'll give you this last bit, because this is where effectively we're into the globalist. I'm sure Ben would say this is fascism, because all of this is going to be linked from our national defence and security system into dealing with a global system. And here you can see them, for example, talking about the UN COP 26 goals. This is just one document. We're going to be doing a lot more on this, because it's clear that climate change is going to drive every aspect of our life, if we allow it. Now, Ben, just bring you in for the final segment. This is a tragic story, the death of a young man. What have you got to say? Yeah, you're right. It is a tragic story. And it's tragic in a number of ways. And one of them is the way that the death of a young man is being politicised and uses a way to create further tensions in society at a time when we really don't need them. And I'm spoken a lot about race today. I'm going to continue on that theme. And this relates to a young gentleman called Chris Cabber, who was shot dead by police in London in September 22. And an officer was charged with his murder and was found not guilty last week. And that's caused a bit of an uproar, actually, in the black community in London. People are very emotional about it. There's a lot of comment going on about it online. And I just want to talk about what happened, actually, and look at some of the evidence that has been released from the scene and a bit more of a background about him. And then some of the comments that we've seen from people in the community. So we got this first article here from The Voice, which is a black newspaper and now a website focused on the community talking about celebrities and community groups calling for justice, ultimately. They don't think that justice has been served. There's certainly that's what we're being told here. The Guardian have obviously stepped in and expressed their concern at this shocking verdict, which is smoking old frustrations in Brixton. Apparently, there is a distrust, disbelief, and frustration is palpable on the streets around Electric Avenue in Brixton, the buzzing hole in the South London. His news is sinking in. A police officer has been cleared of murdering an unarmed black man in the borough. And we've had Diane Abbott, god, lover, also talking very publicly at a public event in the past few days in London saying, and we've seen this week, the police officer who killed Chris Gabba with a point blank bullet from a rifle, walk free from court. We have to fight against living in a society where the police think they are above the law, right? We have to fight against that. Now, let's actually take a look because this all sounds awful, right? Unarmed black man, shot dead by police. Let's have a little look at this report from Sky News, which shows what happened on the ground during that incident. Through South London, a convoy of police cars followed the suspect's Audi Q8. It had been linked to a shooting the night before, when it turned into a side street, police launched a plan to stop it and remove the driver. It's locked in surrounded by armed police. The Audi rammed forwards. Officers body-worn cameras and dash cams caught the speed, the noise and the drama of what was happening. The suspect's Audi drove backwards. After 17 seconds, an officer fired one shot. The jury was shown a graphics version of the movement of the firearms officers. Blake is the yellow dot. He ends up in front of the suspect's car from where he takes the final shot. The car that he was in was connected to a gun incident two days before. That was in the beginning of that report. It's actually been connected to three previous gun incidents in 2022, that specific vehicle that he was in. Instead of getting out of the car, when he was asked to by the police, apparently he was asked 16 times to get out of the car. He rammed the car into the police and tried to escape, at which point he was shot. That seems to me like Diane Abbe and the Guardian and the voice are deliberately misrepresenting what happened. This is not just some innocent man walking down the street who's been shot by the police. It's much, much, much more complicated, and you really have to ask why they're doing that. The other thing that came out subsequent to the not guilty verdict being handed down for the police officer was that camera actually had quite a significant criminal history. If he hadn't been shot, he would have been facing trial for himself shooting a gang rival at a Hackney nightclub. We've got a bit more information about that here. This was the oval space in Hackney. Again, in September 2022, and the reporting on this had been restricted during the trial, and it can now be revealed that this took place. There's a little bit of video here showing exactly what happened. We haven't got a huge amount of time left on the news, but you can see here that's camera on the right-hand side with the blue arrow above him. He's shot in his gang rival. He chased him out of the club. There's an altercation out on the street, and the rival who was shot survived the incident decided not to press charges, as is often the case in these situations. But there were no protests at the time about Cabot doing this. Cabot being shot by the police leads to protests, but Cabot shooting someone himself doesn't lead to any kind of protest, and you can see here, sorry, this is a little bit graphic, but that is his victim on the street there collapsing, ultimately. This has been noted in the community, right? This is really crucial to understand that we're told by the Guardian, we're told by Diana Abbott, we're told by the voice that there is a single community response to this, which is demanding justice for this poor innocent man. But actually, there's a lot of people, including Roger from Hackney, who I follow, who say that that isn't the case. I won't read all of this out because we're running over time, but you should go and find this. We'll provide a link to it. And this is Roger from Hackney, sharing the story of a young man called Abraham Badru, who in 2018 was shot dead outside of his home in Hackney, because four years prior to that, actually, sorry, 11 years prior to that, at the age of 14, he prevented a girl from being gang raped. He gave evidence at trial, and the gang ultimately threatened him, hunted him down and killed him. And Roger finishes his statement. You can see at the bottom here is that instead of there being marches for this young gentleman, they were marches for a criminal, the death of a criminal was seen as worse than the death of a man who received the bravery award at the age of 14, because he stopped the girl from being gang raped, far too many people stuck on the stupid. And I think that includes the Guardian and Diana Abbott in this instance. Ben, thank you very much for that. Yes, indeed, we must finish our news today, but we'll say to our audience, troubled times in the world, it's clear there's an agenda to divide people against each other. We'll look after your fellow man, fellow woman, and into the day, stick up for the vulnerable. We've got a lot more to report on this attack on Western society. And we'll be discussing this more in extra time coming up in a few moments for UK column members. Thank you all for joining us wherever you are in the world.
