UK Column News Podcast 21st March 2025

Hello, it's the 20. It's Friday the 21st of March 2025, just after 1:00. Welcome to UK column News. I'm your host Mike Robinson, joining me in the studio today, Patrick Hennigson. Welcome to the programme, Patrick. Great to be with you, Mike. And by video link, we have Mark Anderson and Liz Evans.

But we're going to begin today with Heathrow and of course, one of the world's busiest airports. It's now been closed as the result of what is described as significant disruption after a far north height substation in Hayes in West London. Uh, Heathrow doesn't seem to be offering a bus replacement service. We note, uh, by the way, but anyway, the fire was reported at 2323 last night and was eventually brought under control at around 6:00 this morning.

Lots of homes in the area, thousands of homes without par. But perhaps a surprise to many is that Heathrow Airport is also without par. But maybe not such a surprise if we look at the airport's documentation because power supply resistance doesn't seem to be a massive priority for them. Before we get that this is look at Flight Radar 24 this morning and we can see a total of no flights if we looked at this the same time yesterday, uh, lots of aircraft, uh, around Heathrow airport.

But uh, let's look at this document then, uh, Heathrow airports operation resilience plan. Now this is back from 2014. Um, and as I say, power supply resistance doesn't seem to be a massive priority priority for them because this document does not include the words electricity or supply or part or generator or any reference to

the topic at all. Well, almost no reference anyway, because it does tell me that components of important applications are split across 2 primary data centres and that both data centres have dual PAR and networking feeds with strict change in access management regimes and that's it. Nothing about airport lighting, radar, air traffic control or other flight operations. Nothing said about backup PAR at all. So this was published in 2014.

As I say, maybe the situation has improved since then. Well, not really. And we can find out if we go to the Heathrow's net zero plant, and I'm sure you can see where this is going because of course they're focusing on on biomass generators. If we just zoom in on a little bit, 2012, they brought in biomass fueled combined heat and power plant. They 2017 they purchased 100% renewable energy and that's how they've been supplying energy to

the airport ever since. And well, solar panels on Terminal 2 and of course those worked well overnight, didn't they? So continuing work to replace diesel generators, well, that's continues to work to be one of their priorities. Now look, something we've got to the point we've got to make here is that London is one of the 100 resilient cities and resilience is one of the key buzzwords of the Net 0 globalist crowd and it's in every document they

publish. But it clearly means something different to whatever you or I may expect to mean it's. And the question then is, is this an example of Britain's crumbling infrastructure once again or is there something else going on here? Is it through a lack of investment? Well, apparently not because the CAA, the Civil Aviation Authority was reporting back in 2023, in March 2023, A £3.6 billion investment which included be ready for this more resilient infrastructure.

Well, apparently not. So there we, there we go. But don't worry, it's not all bad news. The AI is still up because sorry, we'll just move on to this, the Register here reporting that the local commercial data centres at least did have backup power generation

capacity. And I'm going to say we're going to need to get used to this, especially anyone who lives anywhere near Starmer's amazing AI corridors, because those data centres, the new ones that are about to be built, are going to get first dibs on any electricity supply. And if there's any limitation, it's going to be homes and other businesses that are going to suffer first. But you know, this looks to me, Patrick, to be just another great example of net zero in action.

We also be careful there's not too many Teslas driving around in that vicinity either, because they sort of draw down on the power supply, don't they? Well, they do. It's not very sustainable, is it? The whole electric car thing, isn't it? Is it not? So you know, we, we, we have the situation. And Liz, let me welcome you to the programme. I believe it's your husband. Is is was halfway across the Atlantic when this happened.

Yeah, I have a deep personal interest in that because I was expecting him to land at 7:00 this morning. He rang me at 7:00 and I said, oh, you've landed. He said, yeah, but where have I landed?

And I said, I don't know, somewhere in England he's went, no, I'm back in Montreal. So he got halfway across pretty much exactly and landed back in Montreal at exactly the time he was due to land in England. And now he's got to do some sort of crazy trip to Paris later tonight and then across on the Eurostar to get back home. So there we go. Why on earth a piece of critical infrastructure like one of the world's biggest airports did not have backup power?

Well, they had biomass, apparently. What exactly is biomass by the way? Are we talking wood chips? Chip reclaimed chip oil from the local fish and chip shop? Like what is biomass? What? Are they all those things? Yeah. They're talking about. Exactly all those things. Absolutely silly. SO that's, that was a big success, wasn't it, the Green New Deal? It was indeed and it continues to be. But let's let's move on to you now and you've got an update for us on the assisted dying bill.

And the question in my mind is, is it going to pass? Well, I'm very hopeful actually, especially after a very disastrous committee stage that in fact it won't pass. But yeah, I'm going to give you an update on the bill. It is the Kim Ledbetter's Terminally Ill Adults End of Life Bill, in case you're not aware, and it's known as the Assisted Diagnosis Assisted Suicide Bill. More accurately, and you may remember it had its second reading in Parliament on the 29th of November last year.

So a lot has happened since then and there's far too much to cover today. So I'm just going to highlight a few key points. And for more detail, you can read a recent article that we published on our UK MFA sub stack, or you can go to the campaign page on our website, which will be in the show notes, hopefully. So to start with a bit of background, UK MFA strongly opposes this bill. It violates a fundamental tenet of medical ethics that a doctor should first do no harm.

Legalising Dr assisted suicide would profoundly change the relationship between a doctor and patient and the state and an individual, as death would be sanctioned as a legitimate treatment for suffering and pain. And Hippocrates put strict ethical boundaries around medical practise to guard against doctor induced harm. And this included the Doctor's pledge not to administer a poison to anyone when asked to do so, nor to suggest such a

course. So last autumn, Dignity and Dying ran a huge public campaign promoting the bill with mass advertising in the media and London Underground, and they had celebrity endorsement in the mainstream media. And the message was that this is a compassionate bill with the best safeguards in the world to prevent unbearable suffering at the end of life by offering a quick and painless doctor assisted death to anyone with a terminal diagnosis and fewer

than six months to live. However, most palliative care consultants don't support assisted dying and they argue that with high quality palliative care no one needs to suffer an agonising or undignified death. And they advocate for more resources for hospices and palliative care services. And those opposed to the bill also cite the real world evidence that a slippery slope is inevitable as eligibility criteria will widen and

safeguards will be dropped. That the vulnerable will fail a duty to die for fear of being a burden, and that the reality of an assisted death is often far from painless or quick and can involve significant and prolonged suffering. So on the 29th of November last year, crowds on both sides of the debate gathered outside Parliament, and those of us opposing the bill included disabled rights groups, Christian groups and healthcare professionals.

But regrettably, MPs voted the bill through 325 to 275 votes. So the Bill moved into the Committee stage for further scrutiny and to consider amendments. The 3rd and final vote in Parliament will be on the 25th of April, so not long before it passes into the House of Lords. So the Committee commenced their hearings on the 21st of January. They met every Tuesday and Wednesday and this stage was completed 2 days ago, despite five more sessions being

available before recess. Even the mainstream media have criticised what Laura Dodsworth has called the ghoulish haste and apparent determination of the proponents to rush it through at any cost. So, moving on to the committee of MPs selected by Kim Ledbetter, they were heavily weighted in favour of legalising assisted suicide. There were 15-4 and eight against, but despite this, the MPs opposed to the bill, but in particularly, in particular Danny Kruger, Naz Shah and Rebecca Paul.

They did a magnificent job of putting Leadbetter and the Bill under intense scrutiny and challenge. They submitted multiple amendments to try to rectify huge flaws in the bill, but nearly all of those amendments were rejected. So moving on to Kim Ledbetter. She had promised a rigorous scrutiny of her Bill, but the committee stage has raised serious concerns about bias and a marched dilution of safeguards.

Watching the discussions revealed that legislating for a safe system of doctor assisted dying is a can of worms of extraordinary complexity. Many who initially supported the Bill are now expressing alarm at the reality which has been laid bare. Over the last seven weeks. It became clear that the Bill is riddled with holes and is unworkable. It simply cannot be made safe to prevent coerced or wrongful deaths.

But worse still, Leadbetter and her colleagues appeared to lack the will or desire to tighten the Bill's safeguards and instead 1 by 1 crucial safeguards were removed or rejected. And the slippery slope that US campaigners had warned about played out in real time before the bill is even passed into law. So Leadbetter showed a worrying lack of respect for the

democratic process. Her committee initially met in private to discuss which expert witnesses to call which prevented public scrutiny, and the witnesses they called were heavily skewed in favour of the bill. Unbelievably, the committee initially voted not to hear evidence from the Royal College of Psychiatrists despite their vital role in ascertaining capacity and assessing for coercion. There was a public outcry which forced Ledbetter to U turn and give the Royal College an

opportunity to give evidence. Then no witnesses were called to represent disabled rights and again public pressure and action by disabled rights groups led to another U turn and Disability Rights UK were finally called to give evidence. But other vital voices such as the British Geriatric Society, the and even the Government's chief Suicide Prevention strategy advisor have not been allowed to give evidence.

The involvement of a High Court judge was sold to the public and wavering MPs as the strongest safeguard in the world. So it was appalling that it was quickly dropped in the committee stage, considered unworkable as it would overload the court system. This massive change to the Bill outraged opponents and a group of 26 Labour MPs issued a statement expressing their disgust, calling it another broken promise, showing how haphazard the process had

become. It was replaced with a three person Assisted Dying Review Panel consisting of a lawyer, social worker and psychiatrist, and overseen by a Voluntary Assisted Dying Commissioner. Yet no impact assessment was offered or evidence that the panel would be workable and already eminent psychiatrists and the British Association of Social Workers have warned that their professions don't have the capacity to populate these panels. The operation of the panel is opaque.

Kim Ledbetter admitted that the panel is neither a judicial entity or a court, so evidence will not be underoath. Danny Kruger has pointed out that it will also not provide a clinical assessment of the applicant and is therefore a quasi multidisciplinary team at the wrong stage in the process and for the wrong purpose. And then moving on to the panel requirements, they are meagre and inadequate and this was pointed out by Sir James Mumby, a retired High Court judge.

They are only mandated to hear from one of the two doctors and the patient, but they are not required to question either. All this will be done remotely by video or even audio link. Then an amendment was rejected to give a family a legal right and route to give evidence or share concerns with the panel, and this means that family members are completely excluded from the process, which is very sinister. They don't even have to be informed.

Appealing the panel's decision only works one way. The patient can appeal if their application is not granted. However, if it is granted, a third party who disputes the decision cannot appeal. This slide shows some examples of the multiple safeguarding amendments which the committee

rejected. They also voted against excluding people with anorexia, Down syndrome, autism and learning difficulties and from preventing doctors from raising the option of assisted suicide with 16 and 17 year olds. Even an amendment requiring all applicants to be referred to a palliative care consultant was rejected and an amendment requiring a doctor to ask the applicant why they are assisting seeking an assisted death was rejected.

Supporters of the bill argued it would infringe the person's autonomy to take a legal course of action and MP Rachel Hopkins stated it was basically none of their business. We agree with Danny Kruger that this diabolical bill must be

halted. The 3rd and final parliamentary vote is on the 25th of April. Only around 30 MPs need to change their vote to defeat the bill, so we are urging the public to contact their MPASAP to urge them to vote no. And there are useful template letters on several campaign group websites. And better still, ask for a meeting to discuss your concerns.

I'm going to give the last word to Danny Kruger, who made the powerful point that this will not just enable a small group of people access to a doctor assisted death, but instead will impose on everyone. This new reality will change life and death for everyone. Introducing the idea that our individual worth lies in our utility, valuable for only so long as we are useful. Not a burden, not a cost, not making a mess. Thanks. Thank you, Liz. Patrick, you've got a question.

Yeah, Liz, where, where, where does the, do you know where the Church of England or the Catholic Church stand on this issue? If so, has anybody voiced any of their concerns from from the clergy side of that community? Yeah, that's a really good question. My sons actually at a Catholic school and last year I was

really heartened. In November, I went to a service in their Abbey and there was a statement from the Catholic Church out on the front for people to, you know, pick up a leaflet basically expressing their strong opposition to this. And I, I think, you know, I think most Christians, I, I haven't checked the Church of England position recently, but I'm pretty sure that they are against it as well.

So and very much the the Christian groups like Christian Concern, the Christian Institute have been running big campaigns against this. OK, OK, interesting. Liz, thank you very much. Liz will be joining us for extra after the programme. So we'll be talking about this a bit more than I'm quite sure. Mark, let me welcome you to the programme. And well, big news from the

United States this week has been the release of the latest batch of documents on JFK's assassination. Oh, absolutely. And I've got some basics just to kind of lay the groundwork on this. I've seemingly been covering a lot of JFK lately. Back November 29th, late last year, I had covered a conference virtually in Dallas. And then I talked about JFK again February 28th after the February 21st death of Clinton Hill, the Secret Service agent that jumped on the back of the

Kennedy limo. So here we go again with Kennedy stuff. Now this first slide, just to lay the basics here, putting it on the screen, going back to this one's from the National Archives, this is the official announcement. The 2025 documents release in accordance with President Trump's directive, March 17, 2025. As of that date, the directive was longer ago, January 23rd I believe.

All records previously withheld for classification that are part of the JFK Assassination Records Collection are released. The National Archives has partnered with agencies across the federal government to comply with that executive order issued in latter January number 14176 as of March 18th.

Just a couple of days ago, the records became available to access either online via the National Archives or you can actually go in person to College Park, MD. And one of the complaints that I've heard so far, including from David Denton and an Illinois professor and JFK researcher that heads up the JFK Historical Group that gave that conference that I covered last November, there's no search engine and there's really no annotation. There's not a lot of categorization.

So it's just a huge spew of data that's very onerous and time consuming to go through. That's one of the things that's the reality right now. But supposedly there's going to be a search function and a better organised way of looking through the files. The government is promising that. So we'll move on and look at this for just a moment. What it consists of, mainly, generally speaking, is Section 10.

Of the JFK Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992, that's kind of the basis of it. It addresses information under court seal or for grand jury secrecy. That's part of the data dump. And Section 11 of that same records Collection Act addresses records with tax return information, etcetera, etcetera. And on the 18th of March at 7:00 PM Eastern Time, there was 32,000 pages or a little over

1100 PDF files released. And then later that same day, 18 of March 31, 1400 pages and again almost 1100 PDF files. So in total it's 63,400 pages that were released. So it's a quantity thing. It's only a question of the quality. And what I've been hearing so far from a couple of researchers, not just Mr Denton that I've talked to, is that it's not likely, at least it doesn't appear likely that it's going to lead to any smoking gun

or any major breakthroughs. It's it's a lot of miscellaneous, a lot of things about the Cold War, a little bit about Vietnam. But one thing I did get from David Denton, and we'll put this up, is that under the 2025 release, the agency being the FBI, the Professor Denton sent me this yesterday when I talked to him on the phone. Mark Lane, the noted researcher who brought out a a pretty penetrating book not long after the events in Dallas, he was put

under surveillance. As that slide indicates. He was speaking in Switzerland promoting his work and the CIA. Their approval was needed. So they were surveilling people that were investigating the events in Dallas and second guessing the Warren Commission. So the CIA had him under under surveillance. And then there was another document that Mister Dension shared with me, and this one had to do with an author by the name of Thomas Buchanan.

And this was actually from an earlier release of JFK files. What we need to remember, there were several releases, I believe 2017 and one or two subsequent to that prior to the one that just happened this past this week. So authors, according to Professor Denton, authors that were looking into this thing early on were put under intelligence surveillance. And it also came out that a Gary Underhill also name is John Garrett Underhill.

He was ACIA Asset, an agent. He made his name and you might say cut his teeth during the World War 2 era, which was the earlier version of the CIA before the CIA. It was officially created in 1947. And he felt that there was CIA involvement in the Dallas retirement plan, quote, unquote of JFK. And he felt it was a click or a faction within the CIA, not the CIA as a whole. At least that's what's being

reported. But there's a memo in the new data dump that strongly suggests that Gary Underhill was silenced by the CIA itself and supposedly committed suicide in his Washington apartment due to the knowledge he had of this supposed clique within intelligence. That might have had something to do with the Kennedy affair. And he was known to be right handed, but reportedly the self inflicted gunshot wound was behind his left ear.

That's one of the documents or one of the revelations that make that's making the biggest stir right now is the case of Gary Underhill. So these are some of the things surveilling authors that were looking deeper into the affair. The Gary Underhill caper also of interest. And from there, Larry Hancock, a noted JFK expert and author. I, I haven't heard much of his stuff, but he had something very interesting to say. He's talking about the fact that yes, over 63,000 pages were released.

But in this video, what he'll explain is that there are private collections that we may never see. And people always think, well, the National Archives has all the answers they've gathered everything. But according to Larry, who's pretty respected in his field, that's not the case. There are private collections and many things that are off the grid, not available and may never be available. And maybe we can listen at this

point as to what he had to say. Officially with this release, it's it's done because the whole collection that was you know all the agencies, everybody that did the investigation and inquiry did it and sent it to Nara. The National Archives 1 document that does not include some 2300 either documents or pages. We're not sure yet because they didn't say that. The FBI found a couple of weeks ago and said that they were giving to Nara that had not been part of the collection before.

So what we've seen so far is material that was already at Nora. Beyond that, we could give you a list. We've actually prepared a list of dozens of files and dozens of pieces of material that could be collected that might help resolve the question, but that's not part of this. So what we really need there would have to be a reset to collect new information that that's not what we're getting now.

So as you can see there, there's a lot to be learned, not only because the existing data dump is hard to navigate, but there's many other things that we may never see. Or at least it would require extra effort, maybe an act of Congress, whatever, to get these additional items because it's really a qualitative matter, not a quantitative matter.

Yes, we can look at documents about Martin Luther King, yes, about Vietnam War machinations, all sorts of things, plots by the mob to kill Castro and poison him, which is supposedly in the reportedly in the latest data dump. All these things are a course of interest, curiosity, but if we don't get to the core of what really happened on Dallas on November 22nd, 1963, then it's just more misdirection, throwing a bone to researchers so they can chew on it for a while, and

so on and so forth. So we Americans have to demand quality, not quantity, and perhaps follow what Mr Hancock is suggesting and get these things that we otherwise might not see. So with that, I think Patrick has some things to add. Sure. Yeah, it brings up a couple of important points we're going to

segue on. And first of all, what what what's important to understand is what, what's been dumped or what Trump has signed to release is actually just a, a, a small percentage of the total amount that came through the 1992 JFK Act or the the Records Collection Act. So that that's we're not seeing everything. And there's still a lot that's there even on the government side. So that's the first thing. The other thing is this, and this is the gets to the core of

the JFK debate. You've got The Who and the how. You know who who pulled the trigger, How was he killed? Was it 2 shooters, 3 shooters, 1 shooter then? But then you have another question, which is the why, the why and, and the motivation behind it. And that to me and personally is the most fascinating 1. And I think we have quite a bit of evidence in this dump that inadvertently or not, points to the why, to the motivation behind this. Now, I'm going to share this

clip with you. This is from C-SPAN clip from a few years ago. This is Martin Sandler. He is the author of Letters to JFK. He's talking about some of the things that he discovered in his book back then that absolutely corroborates the evidence that we found in these files as well, that many of them, by the way, have already been accessible. So these these aren't all classified documents that Trump has signed to release. But anyway, listen very closely to this clip.

There's a very surprising series of letters between Kennedy and David Ben Gurion, not only the Prime Minister, premier of Israel, but the founder of Israel, in which they're very angry. Letters in which Kennedy is saying to Ben Gurion, I'm killing myself trying to get a nuclear test ban treaty. I've even got the gall on board. And that's impossible. And you keep testing in Damona, you've got to stop. And then brilliant Ben Gurion.

Ben Gurion, thank you, in so many words, says it's easy for you to say, sitting in Hyannis Port, I'm sitting with the Arabs all around me. And you want me to give up nuclear, nuclear testing. And Kennedy threatens him. And he threatens him in such a way that Ben Gurion resigned.

And I will tell you that I found articles not in any crackpot publication, but in very sophistic publications saying forget Lyndon Johnson, forget the CIA, forget Fidel Castro, the Mossad killed Kennedy because they were so upset over what he did to Ben Gurion. No, it's quite something, Mike. So there, right after David Ben Gurion, Prime Minister of Israel, resigned very soon after John F Kennedy was murdered. OK, so the timeline of that is quite compelling.

Now let's go up and look at some of the evidence that has surfaced and also just people's comment on it. This is Anya Parampil here. She's an excellent journalist and what she's saying here is quite striking. And when JF KS mistress Mary Pinchot Meyer was murdered in 1964. And it goes on to point to this WikiLeaks and WikiLeaks has been going through these documents as

well. James Jesus Angleton, top CIA officer working almost exclusively for and on behalf of the state of Israel. And that's what we find in here, Israeli intelligence service. So, and again, these are pinned on my timeline. So you can go to at 21 Wire and see some of these documents, but this is one of many mentions of Israeli intelligence in context of the John F Kennedy

assassination. So this was a thing at the time and it does pop up. And there are obviously other documents that we aren't going to have Privy to on this. And that's just for starters. We'll go on here. Here's another one. Take a closer look here at this

particular document here. And this is from this is an interesting letter, Mike. This is from the it's about the Chicago mob and a lot of people aren't aware that Kennedy, he was meant to visit Chicago, but that trip was cancelled, likely possibly because of security threats there. There may have been a chatter about a possible attempt on his life with them through the mob. OK. And they say, quote here, we now have plenty of money and our new backers are Jews, meaning Israelis probably.

And as soon as quote, we or they take care of Kennedy. So it's right there in print. So that's the that's the mafia talking basically. And these were cables basically disseminating that information. So this is highly interesting. And here's more other mentions here of Israeli intelligence and we'll bring in another document here. And so it it it does. The story gets very interesting

at this point. And you can kind of see that there's a lot more going on behind the scenes between the United States, the Soviet Union and Israel. OK. Because Khrushchev at the time, you have to remember, wasn't particularly massively pro Israel, but was also trying to work with Kennedy on this nuclear test ban treaty. So in Israel was holding it up basically. So that's quite another

interesting one. Here's another file worth looking at. Here unredacted Church committee exposes CI as secret role in atomic weapons transfer, arming Israel with nuclear technology against JFK's wishes. Here the unredacted files reveal that Mister James Jesus Angleton from the CIA confirms that atomic technology or knowledge was transferred to Israel. And again, you have to go through a lot of these documents to try to parse out what you're looking for here. But this is really the piece

still the resistance. Mike, if there's any further questions, what do we have here? James Jesus Angleton from the CIA and the head of Mossat Global Operations, Mayor Emmett in 1966 posing in a kind of dubious cowboy outfit there. I'm not sure what that was all about, but suffice to say Mike that Angleton was what they had a forest named after him in Israel. After he died he was almost given somewhat of a posthumanist state funeral, not unlike another super spy, Robert Maxwell.

So it but Jesus Angleton was a gentile. He wasn't Jewish like Maxwell. So this is very odd now. So there's a great documentary film. We're going to play a clip. It's called New Mac. It's by Ryan Dawson, the independent documentary film. And this is just a very small snippet, Mike, but let's go

ahead and listen carefully here. Despite the well established and well known precedents of Zionist smuggling and stealing boatloads of armaments from the United States and the indisputable evidence of Israeli intelligence agents regularly meeting with Zalman Shapiro in Pennsylvania. A dedicated and committed Zionist with ties to the Israeli government. As well as hundreds of kilos of highly enriched uranium being reported missing from New Mech and unaccounted for.

The highest out of every commercial plant in the United States and Israel having a covert nuclear programme, which they lie about at every turn, undermine inspections of and the very suspicious samples at Damona of highly enriched uranium that was measured with scientific certainty, which the Israelis by themselves could not develop. The notion that highly enriched uranium was diverted from the United States to Israel was challenged.

So the the evidence of this is overwhelming and we'll put up on screen here. This is the documentary film that we showed you this clip from. It's called NUMEC. It's about this nuclear facility in Pennsylvania, but also the bigger plot of the Israelis Israeli secret nuclear weapons programme and it took to this day it's undeclared. So they're they're completely exempt from any international inspections or anything like that. But you can watch that film on

rumble for free. It is a fantastic, very well researched piece and I have it on very good authority from veterans within the intelligence services, Mike in America that the the data and the information in new Mac. This film is solid. OK. So this isn't, we're not in the realm of conspiracy theory here.

We're into the realm of conspiracy fact and the case overwhelmingly points, and I think it will be increasingly so, that there is a very high probability that the motivation doesn't matter who pulled the trigger, whether it was the Italian mob, the Jewish mafia, or the CIA or some Cuban stooges, okay, What was really behind that? The motivation to to get rid of JFK ultimately is coming from

the Israeli interests. He also wanted Israel to register with far as a foreign agent for the the lobby IPAC at the time. And of course that all went away after Kennedy was killed and no more talk about the nuclear

weapons programme. And oh, by the way, Lyndon Baines Johnson, the president that's assumed control of the White House after Kennedy was killed, was involved looking the other way with the USS Liberty incident during the Six Day War when Israel attacked and almost sink sunk, nearly sunk, but killed over, I don't know, 40 odd US sailors in cold blood during the Six Day War and then denied it basically. And to this day, they still don't want to acknowledge really

what happened that day. So again, a lot of behaviour changes in policy happened after Kennedy was killed. And again, that's a circumstantial case that I think you can build. Certainly it's very strong. You know, who done it sort of narrative here that I think we'll get more and more interesting as time goes by. OK, well we'll keep an eye on that, but 60,000 documents to be trolled through. This is just the taking the lid off the first few that have been seen so far, so plenty more to

see. I'm quite. Sure, there's enough out there. I think if you connect the dots now, a lot of things will make more sense. So, and again, that might be an inadvertent or intentional, who knows. It's, I'm not saying it's 5D chess by Trump, but but now there's a lot of people visibly, visibly panicking the fact that people are talking about this now supporters of Israel. So I'm just saying it's very interesting to observe the different reactions to this

information. OK, let's move on then.

It's going to be a fantastic event. Very few tickets left for that, but if you can't come along to it, please do. And the interview with, with Chris Burgard, sorry, yesterday

at 1:00 PM went out. That is now on the UK column website. So Brian's speaking to Chris Burgard, who was present at Capitol Hill on the on January the 6th. And so if you haven't seen that interview, have a look at it on the UK column website. Now let's move on then, Patrick, to the sort of censorship

regime. And we've seen in the UK the terrorism legislation being used against anybody that is campaigning on behalf of Gaza. But in the United States, the same kind of thing going on. No major case. Major case and it got huge political implications.

Major headlines as well. This is the case of Mahmoud Khalil. He is a Palestinian activist who is was going to school at Ivy League school in the United States and has been arrested and is scheduled to be deported based on his participation in campus protests on behalf of the Palestinians. What you would call them? Anti genocide protests, Pro human. Human rights, pro Palestinian, but the government, the Trump administration's calling them pro Hamas protests.

Of course, it's all about how you frame it. Of course, we'll bring up on up on the screen here. This is a Guardian op Ed. It was actually published yesterday or two days ago. This is from Mahmoud Khalil himself. He says I am a Palestinian political prisoner in the USI am being targeted for my activism. He is a graduate student from Columbia here.

He's been sent to Louisiana, Mike, away from New York City, kidnapped from his family, and then locked up in Louisiana, scheduled for deportation at the priest of Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State. So now there's been an appeal. It's in the courts now. Judges halted the deportation. So we're into the judicial process. So we'll see. Let's look at some of the statements that he's made though, up on screen here. This is a quote from him that he said within this article.

Of course we bring that up on screen the the quote, oh, there we are. Yes, the quote there. And so this is what he says. My arrest was a direct consequence of exercising my right to free speech. As an ad. I advocated for free Palestine and an end to genocide in Gaza, which resumed in full force on Monday night this week. It has resumed. Israel's resumed the bombing of refugee camps in Gaza. He says it is our moral imperative to persist in the struggle for their complete freedom.

Now I I've labelled him a Palestinian political prisoner held in the US because by international law he is a political prisoner because there is no they they cannot prove any criminal case against him. And of U.S. officials have admitted there is no criminal evidence of any crime being committed. It's all basically guilt by association or a political labelling here. And he goes on, the Trump administration is targeting me as part of a broader strategy to suppress dissent.

Visa holders, green card carriers, citizens alike will all be targeted for their political beliefs. So it's very hard to argue what he's saying here. And so this is this is where the debate is right now. And we'll show you what some of the other people are saying. But just understand, let's Get the facts here of who Mahmoud Khalil is. OK.

So he's a human rights activist and a protest mediator accused by the Trump administration of being, quote, pro Hamas is being detained by immigration agents as we speak. A 30 year old Palestinian born in a refugee camp in Syria. So his family was pushed out of a historic Palestine during the Nakba of 1948. He's a child of one of these families. So that's a very interesting profile. Master's graduate from Columbia University, I think International Studies.

OK, coincidentally, the head of his department and someone making the case against him as a former Israeli intelligence agent, a female, which is coincidental, I guess, so to speak, but we'll see. Green card holder married to a U.S. citizen who is also eight months pregnant with their first child. So this isn't an illegal alien and this isn't someone on a student visa. He is there as a legal resident of the United States.

So this is kind of an interesting case and we'll go on here to mention he happens to be, this is interesting, a former employee, the British Embassy in Syria, which is located in Beirut, obviously, because the US and the British embassies were kicked out or left Damascus after the uprising in 2012. And he was administering the Shevening scholarship programme, which is a very kind of prestigious British sponsorship of certain political or artistic or thought leaders or influencers.

That's the way I look at the the Schevening scholarship. Absolutely. It's it's buying people's loyalty to Britain really in many ways. Yeah, it's kind of like USCID has a lot of these programmes the British Council does. So not uncommon between the US and Britain or the EU for that matter, to basically try to back and sponsor talent OR people. So he was definitely on side with US and UK on the Syrian issue and probably, probably pro regime change in Syria. That's buying the by.

I did not find any evidence that he's a spy, but there's a lot of accusations of that online or that he is involved in the regime change operation itself in Syria. I did not find any evidence. But even if I did, Mike, even if I did, that would not change the material importance of this case. And this case is really about the 1st Amendment. And this is Speaking of the 1st Amendment. Here's a constitutional expert basically saying here that removing foreign students for

supporting terrorism. This is Adam Kissel, I suppose, an expert on the issue of constitutional law. He's dropped the link here from the Heritage Foundation. And so, yeah, he's all about free speech, due process in the constitution. He's got the flags, US and Israeli flags in his bio. Also a Christian cross. Interesting. But here's a journalist that Elon boosts here who really wants this person. His name is Nick Soter, he's one of Elon favourite journalists.

He's saying that this is about participating in criminal pro Hamas riots and that we need to remove these people from our country. They're charged with crimes and we need to send them all back basically. So pro Palestinian demonstrations are now pro Hamas or pro terrorist riots. And these are people who hate our country. So to support Palestine means you hate America. According to a lot of people on the right, that's got four and a half million views, 4.6 million

views there. So that's the state of journalism, Mike. And I just have to remind people that that even if you're an illegal alien in the United States, you're protected by the US Constitution. You're protected by the 1st Amendment. You can say whatever you want under the 1st Amendment as long as you're not yelling fire in a crowded theatre and citing violence or providing material support for a terrorist

organisation. I can see how those would be a falling foul of the law, but the the purpose of the US Constitution is to restrain the government, to restrain the government. So the government cannot, cannot prevent you from exercising those rights.

And this is where a lot of people, conservatives and people on the right, just like people on the left who were cancelling people during the Biden administration and under Obama, calling for people to be cancelled and to be deported for their speech for the January 6th protests.

The same people on the right who were victims of this types of cancellation and woke behaviour are now attacking people who are supporting the Palestinian issue and calling for them to be deported totally against the 1st Amendment. So I think a lot of people, Republicans and people on the right don't understand their own constitution and they're really making a sort of political position on this. And it's so funny. They're, they're as woke as the

left. So I we're calling this Mike the woke right, the woke right as woke, in fact, worse than the left because they're total hypocrites because they themselves have been targeted with this sort of political authoritarian, you know, speech control. And now they're doing it against people they don't like on behalf of a foreign country, Israel, which I find to be highly bizarre. But then again, that's just how things are today in America. Are we going to play this

little? Clip Oh yes, just sorry, I forgot about that video. So this goes to show you how ridiculous the charges are. This is a conversation between the NPR journalist and one of the Trump administration officials on this. So what? How did he support Hamas? Exactly? What did he do? Well, I think you can see it on

TV, right? It's this is somebody that, you know, we've invited and allowed the student to come into the country and he put himself in the middle of the process of basically throw Palestinian activity. So what is the standard? Is any criticism of the Israeli government a deportable offence? I, like I said, I think that at this point, when he was entered into the country on a student visa, at any point we can go through I and evaluate what his status is and the Secretary of State.

Is any criticism of the United States government a deportable offence? Is protesting a deportable offence? Like I said, you're focused on protests. I'm focused on this, a visa process that he went through, a legal process, came into the country. Are you saying that he lied on his his application? He's a lawful permanent resident, married to an American citizen. I think if he would have declared he's a terrorist, we would have never let him in. Right.

OK, well, I. Mean for me it's case closed. I mean, they're completely out of order on this. The Trump administration, Marco Rubio, the press, the right wing press, Fox News and everybody else completely. And, and in fact, they're they're doing more damage to the US Constitution and the rule of law in America and the 1st Amendment, freedom of speech than than anybody right now. Well, yes, that that is true. The UK though must be well up

there in many, many ways. Similar kinds of activities

going on here, but let's have a look look at the latest on the online safety actors course came into force officially this week. And as we've been warning about for months, the final switching on of the online Safety Act has already had a massive chilling effect on freedom of speech in the UK. Dozens of smaller online forums have shut the doors this week for good because as I've been reporting, the the administrative burden on them is equal for everyone providing so

called user to user services. Whether you're a billion dollar corporate like Met Reddit or X, or whether you're a small independent news organisation like the UK column, or whether you're a totally voluntary run online forum. And one of the 1st to go is this organisation Microcosm, which is a forum hosting platform. So this organisation was hosting a lot of other small interest group based forums and so they've been taken out and one example is the hamster forum.

So anyone that's interested in hamsters has been closed down and but they've decided to move on to Instagram and therefore into the arms of Metas moderation regime. So because they can't afford to run a moderation regime that Ofcom would consider acceptable, they've shut down their forum and they've headed off to Instagram into the arms of the

big corporates. It's not just in the United Kingdom. In Finland, Lemmy dot Zip Forum is blocking access to anybody that lives in the United Kingdom so that they are not falling under the auspices of Ofcom and Ofcom itself. It's position is really pretty obscene. The costs of complying, they say, are likely to be negligible or in the small thousands at most. So this is just a massive

disconnect here. Voluntary groups don't have small thousands to pay for this kind of compliance and they don't have the people that are qualified to provide this kind

of compliance. And I just find this situation absolutely obscene because small organisations, voluntary organisations, community groups being forced into the arms of the big tech companies to the big tech regime, While at the same time we have HTS posting snuff videos on a daily basis from Syria on X and on Meta and on other platforms with no problems apparently from Ofcom. Not only that, they get a they get a glowing visit from Adelina Baerbach, the German foreign

minister for their efforts of running a pogrom in Syria. But this is a clear case, Mike, of the the government using legislation to force compliance and that compliance, it's going to cost a lot more money than most the people targeted can afford. So I mean, there should be a class action lawsuit here against Ofcom if everybody but it. Might be happening, let's not. But but, but it shouldn't happen.

It shouldn't happen. It's just utterly ridiculous that, you know, a voluntary forum would have to fall under after being free and being allowed to talk for 30 plus years in met, in some cases 30 years of free speech. And all of a sudden in 2025, oh, we're going to shut that speech down unless you pay thousands to go into this moderation regime. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't think anybody interested, I don't think the hamster forum was likely to have HTS activists on there, but

anyway. Unbelievable. Absolutely. Now we were talking about

Readiness 2030 on Wednesday. You've got an update on this? Yeah, well, we thought 2030 was going to be the year of the Great Reset, right, Mike? Well, they've changed it. They're doing a work around here. It's readiness 2030, as you know. Ursula von der Leyen's warning Europe must rearm and a plan for readiness for 20-30. This is when the clock is going to run out for civilization. Yes, apparently. So we need to mobilise all of our resources for 20-30.

How are they going to mobilise all that money and that capital and that investment? How are they going to do that? Well, it's interesting. We did a little research here and the EU is planning to use the savings of citizens across the European Union to collateralize it, their savings, to use that and and activate that savings, mobilise that savings, €10 trillion in fact of total savings there. So the EU covet savings to invest in its Rearm Europe plan

or you go down here. This is a 21st century wire.com. We've got the document, Mike's the Savings and Investment Union. As you can see, very colourful, happy clappy marketing. See the little Piggy Bank there? That's you and I. We are just a citizen's savings Piggy Bank. And half any savings. So they're talking about basically a type of a bail in

basically. So they're going to use, here's the document, they're going to use everybody's savings and they're going to weaponize it in order to pay for €350 billion per year to mobilise to help Europe's defence. So and to create investment flows, as Ursula van der Leyen says in there, to be unused to savings. They're calling it unused because it's in your account or Joe Joe Public's account is unused.

So this article is basically saying get your money out of European banks ASAP because what happens if there's a financial crisis? What happens? This is like Glass Steagall lifting Glass Steagall kind of on steroids, Mike. So they're, they're really taking one of the last barriers out, which is that your personal savings is, is no longer your personal savings. It's going to be collectivised across the European Union.

Now, if they're allowed to get away with this, I'm sure this idea might be coming soon to other countries. And this is exactly what they're saying for the Green New Deal. We need to unlock those pensions. We need to unlock these funds and these sort of entitlement funds because they're not doing anything. The money is just sitting in accounts collecting interest for the people. How greedy of them.

We should use it to save the planet and to invest in green tech to start this green revolution, to rearm Europe with green technology. This is the same exact script. It's one crisis, same script. Next crisis is Ukraine. Same script 20-30. Unlock the the savings and potential, unlock the pensions. It's exactly the same. These people have no new ideas and so as long as there's a crisis, they're going to go for whatever they can get their hands on. Kleptocracy.

Call it what you want. Yes, Mark, let's bring you back

onto the programme. We're going to end with Japan and vaccinations. Yeah, a very interesting and troubling situation. This is from the Children's Health Defence and it came out just yesterday, 20 March, after three children died within 24 hours of routine vaccines, Japanese researchers are sounding the alarm. Written by Michael Nevradakis, PhD citing the deaths of three Japanese children within 24 hours of receiving routine

childhood jabs. The authors of a peer reviewed study are calling for a re evaluation of the quote risks and benefits of currently approved vaccines and also a review of the childhood vaccine schedule. Childhood vaccination schedule. So we'll move on from there.

This is from the CHD citing that study the need for validation of vaccine vaccination programmes, the authors of this peer reviewed study has noted, calling for a reevaluation of the risks and benefits of currently approved vaccines.

The study, published March 14 in Discover Medicine by Doctor Kenji Yamamoto, a cardiothoracic surgeon at Akamuro Memorial Hospital in Japan, also also addressed the increase in post vaccination adverse events following the introduction of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines in Japan. So these deaths are causing quite a stir. And we also have some other critical information here. I'll cite this just to make sure we get it right. This is breaking news.

Basically, the risk of immunodeficiency associated with frequent messenger ribonucleic acid mRNA vaccinations, which aren't really standard vaccinations, has become increasingly evident leading to the widespread discontinuation of additional doses except in Japan. Re evaluation of vaccination programmes including live

attenuated vaccines is crucial. Recently, those three cases of children dying a day after routine vaccinations were reported in Japan. But despite detailed information including autopsy findings, so called experts concluded that a causal relationship with vaccination could not be ascertained or could not be evaluated.

So there's resistance going on in terms of attributing the deaths of the children to vaccines and therefore carrying out a more thorough cautionary policy regarding vaccines and and re evaluating the whole vaccine process. But anyway, much more could be said Time time's getting a

little tight today. One of the things that there that was cited in the study, this is from the study, the growing evidence of immunodeficiency risks associated with frequent MNRA vaccinations has led to the global discontinuation of of additional doses.

Japan being the exception. The decrease in immunity can be caused by several factors such as the spike protein, lipid nanoparticles and so on. But one of the things that came out, Mike and and Patrick, as I read through this, was now they're thinking that the rise of measles and and other illnesses that are being reported might actually stem from vaccinations to some degree. So now they're talking about measles vaccinations. They're talking about increasing cases of the measles in Texas

and elsewhere around the world. And there's at least some evidence being cited. Some of it may be a little tentative in this study. That that the recurrence of measles, such as it is, might be from vaccinations themselves. So a lot more is going to come out about this.

It just came out yesterday since it came out from Children's Health Defence. We'll hope that Robert F Kennedy, now the head of Department of Health and Human Services, that he'll take notice of this, that he'll take heed of it. But this could lead to a significant re evaluation and significant scrutiny of the vaccination regime that so far has caused such misery and harm and death across the world ever since the COVID scam.

So we'll see where this goes, but I'm sure they'll be much more in the days and weeks ahead. We'll keep a close eye on it. Oh, just one note. What what's interesting is that the symptoms for measles are also identical to some of the exact symptoms of adverse reactions from some of these vaccines, which I think is worth

pointing out. And you know, the only the mRNA people need to look a lot closer at the mRNA technology because it has not it's been able to skirt any kind of regulatory framework through the emergency use authorization. And the only immunity that's being provided by mRNA is the immunity from prosecution for these companies pushing it. It is no proof at all, clinically or otherwise that these mRNA vaccines do what they say or what they claim that they

have are supposed to be doing. There's absolutely nothing. They've been giving almost a carte blanche because of Covic and they still have the same emergency used authorization. So you have people like Robert Malone and running around saying I'm the inventor of mRNA, but the inventor of what exactly? Because as far as I could see, that product was dead on arrival before COVID. So was Moderna as a business. And all of a sudden, as if by magic woo with the emergency

authorization mRNA everywhere. So I mean, people need to attack the technology and say, does it actually do what they claim that it does? Because that's also a big problem in all of this. People are dazzled by this idea of mRNA tech, but it's not really proven tech at all. And and so it meanwhile, it's potentially is causing harm to millions of people. What a disaster. Absolutely. And of course, Stargate and also the AI programmes in the UK are linked to the use of mRNA.

Oh. It's all predicated. Personalised medicine. Oh yeah, miracle tech. Miracle cure for cancer. They're calling it miracle technology. Undoubtedly, we will talk about this an extra in a couple of minutes time. I'm going to say thank you very much Patrick, Mark and Liz, we will be back. If you're AUK call member four extra in a couple of minutes. As I say otherwise, have a great weekend and we will see you at 1:00 PM as usual on Monday. See you then. Bye bye.
