True personal growth ultimately will lead to fulfillment, and it's my intention with these podcasts to connect more deeply with you. Thank you for joining me, Anne Corbin, and my guests, and welcome to this episode. When did I give up watching legacy media news bulletins? Maybe as far back as 10 years ago.
But as I've said before, I keep an eye on the headlines daily because I believe that it's necessary, that is it's something worth doing, just to have an overall picture of what's going on in the world and, of course, in the country where I'm living, which is the UK. It isn't my main intention to talk about current UK politics today.
There are so many great podcasts around that exist specifically for that purpose, but the situation going on within these shores since the latest rigged election in July will inevitably figure in today's discussion. So if you really hate politics, here's one of my occasional warnings. Today's content might not have that much appeal for you. A news program that I catch up with from time to time is UK column news.
I subscribe to the light paper on Telegram, and when they upload these UK column news recordings, there's a very helpful AI generated time index underneath each one. So the viewer can select articles of interest without devoting an entire hour to the full episode. And, of course, you can play on 1 and a half or double speed. Yes. I'm quite parsimonious in terms of how I choose to allocate my time.
I loathe the way mainstream news programs give us one angle and labor each point for 5 minutes or more so that viewers are brainwashed in 3 different ways. 1st, to believe that what they're seeing is the unbiased truth. Secondly, that they're getting the full story because it's presented by half a dozen talking heads. Often some of these are put forward as experts.
And lastly, because of the slow pace, I believe these extended presentations are designed to relax the viewer into a state of passive acceptance, and this is how programming works. Regular listeners will be aware of my strong aversion to censorship. I'm referring specifically to suppression of information censorship. There are forms of censorship such as protecting children from pornography that are totally justifiable.
And I suppose during a war situation, it is necessary to have some control over the flow of information, which leads very conveniently into my next observation. If we aren't actually at war at the moment, how close are we? Am I talking civil war or World War 3? Well, take your pick. Consider Ukraine. The UK has spent or pledged 12 point 5,000,000,000 to support the Ukraine.
Speaking as a UK citizen, we can't afford apparently to stop our own homeless from sleeping on the streets, yet we can somehow find 12 and a half 1000000000 when we're supposed to be broke and have no money? And this for a foreign wall? And our roads are falling apart. Our councils have no money to aid the elderly or in fact for many of what used to be considered essential services. And I've always said that it's an American proxy war with Russia.
Joe Biden's administration has thrown an incredible $175,000,000,000 in total into that particular black hole and largely it's money laundering. Frankly, we have crazy cabals running our governments who are quite simply intent on bankrupting the countries that they're supposed to represent. How about the Israeli Gaza situation? Which side are we in the UK actually supporting? A quick search on the net provided little clear up to date information.
So far, the money is in the 1,000,000, not billions, and it's in the form of military tech and equipment and, advice and information, ammunition, and so on. The United States supports Israel, of course, and Biden has approved $14,300,000,000 in aid for this year alone. And that war is expanding. It's a terrible situation. Iran has been attacked and they retaliated. Nuclear weapons are a genuine threat. The Vietnam war lasted for 10 years.
And at the beginning, all Americans believed their boys were being sent over there to fight for a noble cause and that they had every chance of winning. Towards the end, military leaders knew full well that there was no earthly chance of that happening. They were disillusioned, some were rebellious, and this was considered extremely unpatriotic. But when this knowledge was leaked to the American people, how the tide turned politically and the Americans in the end had to pull out.
The tale of how the story was leaked by the Washington Post in 1971 is brilliantly portrayed in the, 2017 film called the post in which Meryl Streep plays the pivotal role. It took another 4 years after the leak before the Americans withdrew. They were actually very humiliated and the population in the states was totally against the government.
The draft was abandoned as a result of action taken And the war itself achieved nothing in respect of its original purpose, which was to prevent a communist takeover. The 2 Vietnams united the following year under a communist banner and the leadership of Ho Chi Minh. Saigon was renamed Ho Chi Minh City. But interestingly, locals still call it Saigon. It seems that it's only newspapers who lose who use its official name and that's always abbreviated to HCMC.
So why were the Americans intent on preventing a communist takeover in a distant country? Well, it's all to do with the cold war. Vietnam had been a French colony. They'd given it up, but France was attempting to reinstate colonial rule. The locals led by the communists that that was specifically in the north, they were resisting, and France enlisted help from the US. The Americans were, of course, involved in the cold war, and they saw this as a potential way of shortening it.
And that's a very summarized story of how America got into the war. So now let's consider what's wrong with communism and indeed socialism, which is so very similar. Our new leaders in the UK are socialists, and we're only a couple of months in. And the country has evidently erupted in riots and demonstrations, which are being dealt with using extremely draconian punishments, but only for one side. They seem to be attacking the protesters and not the rioters.
Peaceful protest, which is a mainstay of public expression in the UK or used to be, is no longer allowed. We were once a model of the best examples of free democracy, and ordinary citizens now have no way of expressing any kind of dissent. And thinking about it, there have been restrictions on free speech for years and we didn't object. Political correctness was allowed to take control. We even joked about it, although it was annoying.
If someone objects to what you say now, it's deemed to be hate crime. And there's the ridiculous cancel culture. A well respected figure might be booked for a meeting or a keynote address at some institution or venue only to have his or her appearance cancelled at the very last minute because somebody somewhere has objected.
During lockdown, the police victimized ordinary citizens for petty offenses like congregating on a beach, being on a path at the wrong time of the day, or being more than 2 or 3 people in a close space, whatever, in a park. Yet when the BLM, that's, Black Lives Matters, when those rioters tore down statues, engaged in rioting, looted shops and set buildings on fire, the police stood back and did nothing because apparently these folks were just letting off steam.
And much worse than this, there was a far reaching sex exploitation scandal in Rotherham that was ongoing for many years involving gangs of Asian men grooming white girls into prostitution. The police knew about it and they did nothing because had they taken action, they genuinely feared charges of racism and loss of career. I kid you not. This is how far political correctness has infiltrated our once great institutions.
Regarding the recent riots and demonstrations, nobody really knows the truth of what's going on but what are ordinary natives of these isles supposed to do to make their opinions known, to be heard amongst the chaos? Alternative media is awash with pictures of rough treatment of elderly white people literally being attacked by police in threatening riot gear with batons and so forth, and logic tells us that these are most likely the peaceful protesters.
But policing in England, it used to be done by consent. There used to be a cordial relationship between the population and the police. Gone are the days. And in the riots, this is what's mostly covered on mainstream media, Well, are they real? I am wondering whether it's new footage or is it the government cleverly or cynically seeking an excuse to bring in unwanted crackdown legislation. I believe that such images are banned from regular social media such as Facebook.
The cancel culture there is maddening just as it is on the Google search engines, which tend to spit out counter information as opposed to the disinformation and misinformation that the Facebook algorithms object to. And if your posts aren't actually removed and your account is not shut down, deleted, then you're shadow banned, meaning that nobody will see your stuff anyway. Back to communism. Sorry for the digression. There have been many revolutions in history.
For example, in France, famously, there was the revolution in 17/89 when the monarchy was destroyed. And there have been several since, throughout the early years of 19th century, famously in 18/20 and in 18/48. In that particular year, there were apparently up to 50 countries beset by riots from the peasant class, buildings were burned, revolts by the population were violently put down by the militia. And it was in 1848 that Karl Marx published the Communist Manifesto.
He was a socialist and his manual was a formula for destroying capitalism. It seems that this is seen as oppressive by the common people because it doesn't enrich everyone and particularly not the plain idle sectors of society. The key technique used by Marxism is to pitch 2 groups against each other. Originally, it was the bourgeois against the proletariat, but essentially, it's about divide and rule. Pitch black against white, young against old, class against class, management against unions.
It happens everywhere. Hone in on a perceived injustice and fan the flames. When it comes to the subject of property, well, the haves are resented by the have nots who can easily be inflamed to attack and bring the enemy down to their level. They don't achieve anything but they don't see that. This is a quote from Marx's manifesto. The communists openly declare that their ends can be obtained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions.
Let the ruling classes tremble at a communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Working men of all countries unite. This is what follows when government steps in to pick up the pieces in a country that has descended into chaos. There is complete state ownership of your life. There's no private property. Taxes are extortionate. Government control of communications and media is the norm.
There are government jobs for all workers, government income, universal basic income for all workers, mandatory government education so you can get what that involves, and the government supersedes the church in power. Bearing in mind here that the motto of the new world order is ordo abkeo, that is order from chaos And this is how totalitarian control is imposed on a population. In 1917, Vladimir Lenin was assisted by the Germans to bring his Marxist communist ideas to Russia.
They actually helped him out of Germany because they didn't want his ideas there. He had spotted an opportunity. This was towards the end of the chaotic, 1st World War. So in Russia, the Germans recognized that this could be a way of crippling a person that was their biggest enemy and we know how successful Lenin was in Russia. Here's an example of one of the posters that he circulated at the time. Comrades, hang and I mean hang so that the people can see, not less than 100 known rich men.
Do this so that for 100 of miles around the people can see, tremble, know and cry. They are killing and will go on killing. That's from 1918. Lenin created anarchy. He pitted groups against each other. Violence took hold, private property was destroyed, There was no personal freedom, certainly no freedom of speech. Then came economic collapse. What a surprise.
Famine, starvation, secret police, concentration camps for millions of people, far more even than in Nazi Germany that we hear so much about. And from Russia, communism spread to Eastern Europe, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Korea, Cuba, and many of the countries in Africa, always spread by violence, always corruption at the top, dictators, concentration camps, starvation, misery, and millions of deaths. Leaders just don't care. Ordinary people are expendable.
Hence, the staggering death tolls from the communist experiment in all of those countries mentioned above. In Eastern Europe, 1,000,000 died. In Vietnam, 1,000,000. In Afghanistan, 1,500,000. In Africa, 1,700,000. In North Korea, 2,000,000. In Cambodia, 2,000,000. In the USSR and Russia, 20,000,000. Oh and how about China? The model for what the new world order has in store for all of us, if they manage to get away with it. Mao Zedong took charge in 1949 after a long and bloody civil war.
Business owners, academics and the wealthy were ruthlessly killed, 30,000,000 in total. And he joked, we have so many people, we can afford to lose a few, quote from Nazehtang. And from starvation over the next 20 years, a further 45,000,000 died. All from Mao's bungle attempts to industrialize. Now what's currently afoot in the west? Who and what are behind the invasion of America by the hordes allowed to cross the border?
We're under attack in Britain not only from illegal immigration which gets all the headlines but planned excess immigration thanks to Tony Blair and his socialist government beginning in 1997. Dare to complain anywhere and you're called a racist. This is all planned. The co founder of Black Lives Matter, Patrice Coullons, is on record for saying we are trained Marxists. They use identity and class division to annihilate and destroy.
They demonize capitalists and yet it's been proven as the most equitable and efficient way to run an economy. Did you know that Antifa was formed in 1932? It happened in Germany done by Stalinist backed communists and it was called the Antifaschister Aksion. It was specifically formed to violently clash with police, terrify the public, and make physical assault of your enemies in the street in front of everybody normalized behavior.
Antifa achieve their goals by mingling with the crowds where there is already dissent but often no violent intent whatsoever. They ensure that riots break out with then counter violence from the police resulting, and their tactics are still seen in these current times throughout Europe and in the states. No doubt all over the world because the goal of the World Economic Forum is world domination in the form of the new world order. So rant over.
This week I went right down the communist rabbit hole. So many people think communism died with the USSR near the end of the last century and many really never saw it as a threat that is in the comfortable west. I've also made a fair few connections. I guess the whole podcast was inspired by a recent discussion I had with my brother. We had just watched that film I mentioned earlier, The Post with Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks. And if you haven't seen it, it is well worth a watch.
