Part One – Local and National News Review
They were the trees on the banks of the Floating Harbour in Bristol deemed so important that as many as 70 women symbolically ‘married’ each one as part of a long-running campaign to save them. But, as this timelapse video shows, it only took a week or so to completely clear all the trees from what is now a development site. And while the council-owned Goram Homes and its development partner get started on building 166 new flats in a prime location at Baltic Wharf, there is controversy about plans – or lack of them – to replace the trees that were cut down before Christmas. A formal complaint has been submitted to Bristol City Council which claims planning officers misled councillors and the public when they said there wouldn’t be a problem planting new trees to replace the 84 trees that have been felled on the former site of the Caravan Club park between the Floating Harbour and the New Cut River Avon. The complaint claims that council officers ‘undermined the quasi-judicial planning process’ by reassuring councillors finding places to plant new trees was all in hand. Back in April 2024, councillors on the planning committee met to give the final go-ahead for Goram Homes’ plans for the development, and part of the application was a legal requirement that 162 trees should be planted within a mile of the Baltic Wharf site, to make up for the 84 cut down. “At the meeting, doubt was expressed as to whether it was possible that 162 trees could be planted within a mile radius of the development, due to lack of tree planting locations,” the complaint, which has been submitted by the Bristol Tree Forum, said. Workers clearing the former caravan park at Baltic Wharf in Bristol today, Monday 13 October 2025, as trees have been cut down and the area stipeed of vegetation “These concerns were unequivocally dismissed, and the committee was told by planning officers with certainty that all 162 trees would indeed be planted. The case officer said ten would be on the waterfront beside the site or on Cumberland Road, that “Parks” had mapped around 40 trees (at the time of the meeting), and they assured the committee that they would ‘in the next few weeks provide full mapping of all of the trees’.” Councillors gave planning permission for the trees to be cut down, but the Bristol Tree Forum say replacing the trees has never happened – and what’s more this follows a pattern of council officers promising new trees would be planted to compensate for trees cut down, at a site just across the road from the caravan park. In 2013, trees around the A Bond bonded warehouse were cut down to make way for the new Metrobus road near the Cumberland Basin, and 55 were supposed to be planted nearby, but never have been. Bristol Tree Forum continued to demand answers about the 162 trees the council were supposed to be planting near the Baltic Wharf site. In October 2024, six months after permission was granted, a council chief told the campaigners that a map of the places the 162 trees would be planted was coming, and again in January, the chair of the council’s planning committee was reassured the full map of sites was coming, soon. …“This is not an isolated incident, and it seems to have become standard procedure to promise planning committees that all replacement trees will be planted, in order to secure planning approval, only for this promise to be entirely abandoned or at best to fall well short of the requirements. “For officers to misinform planning committees in order to secure planning approval for an application they are advocating, undermines the integrity of the whole planning process, and cannot be allowed to continue,” they added…

Who is Bristol’s Chief Planner Working For? See Joe’s Substack, Temple Scenes. He forensically looks in to the failures of the modern planning systems – particularly in Bristol . Who is Bristol’s Chief Planner working for? As Simone Wilding warns councillors not to challenge major developments, a look at her LinkedIn activity reveals the close relationships she’s been cultivating with the city’s developers and lobbyists It had seemed that the developers wanting to build the tallest ever building in south Bristol were going to have to go back to the drawing board.In January this year, a planning committee of councillors refused a proposal for a 23-storey block of student flats in the Victorian inner-urban district of Bedminster, still largely characterised by low-rise residential terraces and light industrial uses. Members had voted 5-3 against the scheme – a high-density mix of 400 Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) units, 434 Build-to-Rent flats and commercial floorspace. As the council’s procedure dictates, officers were instructed to come back to the following meeting with written-up reasons for refusal. The councillors had refused the planning application on the grounds of over-intensive development and harm to the skyline, including the setting of the Grade 1 listed heritage asset St Mary Redcliffe church. There was also the issue of poor design: 55% of rooms do not meet the British Research Establishment’s guidance for sunlight and more than half the proposed units are single-aspect. Other concerns included the over-concentration of student accommodation in the area and a letter from the NHS warning that local GP practices were already operating at or near capacity and would be “unlikely to be able to accommodate the increased demand arising from this development.” But what came back to the following meeting was an officer report that told the committee that they couldn’t, in fact, refuse – not without the developer taking the council to the Planning Inspectorate for an appeal that would be certain to succeed. And the council’s Chief Planner, Simone Wilding, raised the stakes further in the meeting by saying that the council would be likely to lose around £750,000 in appeal costs, plus a further £250,000 through the expense of defending the case. To illustrate the Planning Inspectorate’s supposed willingness to overturn refusals based on over-densification, the attention of councillors was repeatedly drawn to a development in Brighton that had a refusal overturned at appeal last year. In the initial committee meeting, when Wilding brought up ‘Brighton Gasworks’ – a mixed-use residential scheme with buildings ranging from 3 to 12 storeys – she made the false claim that it was “a much higher density” than the proposal before them. In reality, the reverse is true: Brighton Gasworks is 245 dwellings per hectare (dph); Princess Street is 384 dph if you don’t include the student tower, 427 dph if you do. Both Princess Street levels exceed the threshold identified in London planning debates as ‘hyperdensity’. Nevertheless, the Chief Planner went on to tell the committee categorically: “We haven’t got a policy on density on which we could refuse this.”…
The Workers Party of Britain leader is one of 15 candidates standing in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election, where he said he would oppose the leader of the Green Party of England and Wales over his support for Ukraine and his position on trans rights. Galloway said on Monday his party wouldn’t field a candidate “unless the Green Party comes to the table and makes us an offer we can’t refuse”. However, he later confirmed on the same day that he would be standing in the by-election for the Workers Party of Britain, which has since triggered a row within the party. On Tuesday, Chris Williamson, deputy leader of the Workers Party of Britain, said he had resigned from the party because he “profoundly disagreed” with the decision to stand in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election. Williamson said he had a “huge amount of respect” for Galloway, but added he believed the party should “get behind” Polanski in his bid to get elected into Westminster. He wrote: “My firm view is that the left must collaborate to defeat the Labour Party, Reform UK, Conservatives and Lib Dems because these parties are all in the pocket of the neoliberal Zionist war machine. Zack is best placed to do that in this by-election. “I commend Zack’s recognition that the [government] can intervene in the economy to create a good society because it issues the currency. “I applaud his position on the so-called war on drugs, which has absolutely failed. I salute his pragmatic and compassionate analysis of illegal immigration. And I commend his assessment of the criminal justice system.” Williamson added: “I do have some differences on a small set of issues, most notably their current pro-EU and pro-Nato stances, but my view is that we should agree where we agree, which is on most things, and simply have fraternal disagreements where we don’t.”…
With strategically important islands and large stretches of Yemen’s Red Sea coast now under Houthi control, the group has tightened its grip on the Bab al-Mandeb Strait – a crucial chokepoint for global shipping and energy supplies. During the talks, the Houthis assured US officials that they had no intention of attacking US shipping in the Red Sea, saying their restrictions would apply only to vessels linked to Saudi Arabia. But that would still leave two of the world’s most important shipping routes facing serious disruption, with traffic through the Strait of Hormuz restricted for the past six months. Any further disruption could drive global oil and consumer prices even higher, creating another political headache for US President Donald Trump ahead of midterm elections in November. With the Houthis’ history of attacking commercial vessels, their ties to Iran and their deep ideological opposition to the US, some experts question how far their assurances can be trusted. But some analysts say Washington may have little choice but to take the group at its word, at least for now. US military resources are reportedly depleted and growing domestic opposition to the Iran war have all limited Washington’s ability – and willingness – to open another front in Yemen. Pressure to intervene As the Houthis seized territory in southwestern Yemen, the US publication Axios reported that Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman called Donald Trump twice last week, urging him to launch strikes against the group – but the US president refused. Admiral Brad Cooper, the commander of US Central Command, subsequently travelled to Riyadh for urgent coordination talks with the crown prince. The visit suggested Washington was seeking to intensify support for Saudi Arabia while avoiding direct military involvement. Trump also attempted to reassure Riyadh, describing the crown prince as a “good friend” and promising that “everything will work out very well”. But he offered no specific military commitment and the White House announced no explicit guarantee that the US would defend Saudi energy infrastructure or shipping routes. Axios also reported that the military chiefs of Israel, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan and Egypt attended a private gathering convened by the US. While the US has avoided intervening, Israel, whose ships and territory have previously been targeted by the Houthis, has reportedly offered to intervene in Yemen on Saudi Arabia’s behalf. Simon Mabon, a professor of international relations at Lancaster University, however, said any Israeli involvement would probably be limited. “With elections coming up [in Israel], there comes a point when there is overreach,” Mabon told Al Jazeera. “In light of Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and the West Bank – as well as the question marks over Iran – Yemen could be a bridge too far.” Experts also say that the Saudis may be wary of being seen to rely on Israeli military support, particularly amid the war on Gaza, because doing so could damage Riyadh’s standing and legitimacy throughout the Arab and Muslim worlds. Washington’s reluctance to act could deepen Saudi concerns about its longstanding security relationship with the US. “This is another instance of the United States failing to fulfil its role as a security guarantor,” Mabon said. “That will start to add up and create serious doubts in Saudi Arabia about whether it can rely on the United States.”
I support @DerbyChrisW’s stance regarding his recent resignation. It’s straightforward tactical voting to beat the horrendous, terminally compromised Labour Party with a view to forging some degree of unity around the crucial issue of domestic economic policy. Like Chris, I disagree with the Greens’ position on a number of issues, especially NATO, but it’s the only party with the courage to support the public investment strategies we need to reboot the British economy. I have no intention of joining, but I would like to see a more strategic, unifying approach amongst the broad left. Left Cheat Sheet .co.uk shows the British left’s current situation – split into no less than 78 factional parties and movements. Each one is fixated on its own purist dogma, mostly hammered out in the back room of the local boozer. Completely useless. If the broad left can’t find common ground on the crucial issue of domestic economic policy we are finished for the foreseeable future. A spent force. @winlow_s have outlined the history of our decline in the book The Death of the Left. Failure to bring the economy under democratic control will leave us prey to the extractive asset-stripping and fiscal discipline of global financiers. This will see whole regions sink into further decline and drift to the ‘far right’, perhaps even seeing through Reform’s fake nationalism and demanding the real thing. We might even get a ‘revolution’, but quite probably not the one we want. This is the future we face if we fail to find unity on this crucial issue.
“The workers themselves are cast merely as its conscious linkages.” Gradually, in the century and a half since Marx wrote those words, machines have taken on more and more jobs previously done by humans. The 20th century political movements that attempted to make Karl Marx’s ideas reality may have failed but, 200 years since the philosopher’s birth on May 5, 1818, his analysis and foresights have repeatedly proven true. We are, in many ways, living in the world Marx predicted. Marx showed that recurrent crises were not an accidental side effect of capitalism, but a necessary and inherent feature, explains Nick Nesbitt, Princeton University professor of French and Italian and editor of The Concept in Crisis: Reading Capital Today. “?He shows that the source of value in capitalism is living labor. He also shows that capitalism nonetheless tends to eliminate living labor as a necessary dimension of its development,” Nesbitt says. That contradiction means capitalism is never stable, but forever shifting in and out of crises: The system depends on human labor while simultaneously eradicating it. And the stakes are high. Marx analyzed capitalism as a social system, rather than a purely economic one. “Humans and human relationships depend on our place within the system of capitalism itself,” says Nesbitt. “If we don’t find a place within the system as individuals and human beings then we live under exclusion.” Capitalism doesn’t just determine our source of income but how we relate to each other, our surroundings, and ourselves. To be rendered superfluous by the system is damning to social wellbeing as well as economic livelihood. It may be tempting to dismiss Marx’s analysis given that his communist vision failed in practice. However, the politics that developed in the Soviet Union were “not part of Marx’s vision of a social structure” says Nesbitt, but “developments of Leninism and the Russian revolution.” Most of Marx’s work was focused on critiquing capitalism, and he wrote relatively little about exactly what it would take for communism to become reality, or how it would function. Marx famously popularized the slogan, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs,” meaning that all would have the opportunity to reach their highest potential and to receive the needed goods, such as food and shelter in turn. But, notes Carol Gould, philosophy professor at Hunter College, City University of New York, Marx didn’t say much about what this mantra would look like in practice.

This important reunion allows the veterans to meet old colleagues, and aims to reduce loneliness and improve the mental health of the veterans. 2027 is the 75th anniversary of the first atomic bomb test in the Montebello Islands and we want to make it special. The last two years have been paid for by the viewers of GB News, 2025 in full and partially in 2026, but sadly we do not have a sponsor for 2027, so we need your help. LABRATS International is one of the leading organisations representing Nuclear Test Veterans, Atomic Veterans, descendants, indigenous communities, scientists, civilians and families affected by British Nuclear Testing and nuclear weapons test programmes around the world. Our mission is to preserve the legacy of those who served, worked and lived alongside nuclear testing operations, ensuring their stories, sacrifices and experiences are never forgotten. Through education, advocacy, research, community engagement and public awareness campaigns, we provide support and recognition for individuals and families impacted by historic nuclear testing programmes. We work to raise awareness of British Nuclear Testing, including Operation Grapple and other nuclear weapons tests conducted in Australia, the Pacific and beyond. By promoting historical understanding, supporting veterans and descendants, and providing accessible educational resources, LABRATS International helps ensure that the legacy of the Nuclear Test Veteran community continues to be recognised by future generations. As a global community, we bring together Nuclear Test Veterans, Atomic Veterans, families, researchers, educators and supporters from across the world, united by a shared commitment to remembrance, recognition, education and support for all those affected by nuclear testing. The UK has a new Prime Minister – Andy Burnham. He has called for many years for an end to the Nuclear Test Veterans Scandal, calling it: We now challenge Andy to keep his promise and instigate a special tribunal to end 74 years of injustice finally. Never before has a Prime Minister been so vocal in their support for the Nuclear Test Veterans, attending seminars and events, and speaking on BBC Newsnight and in Parliament. Show your support, sign our petition and write to your MP demanding this tribunal be put in place immediately, so that the truth will finally be told, before it is too late.?
During the interview, Tobias Ellwood states that the MOD withheld information from him when he was Veterans Minister, which led to him misleading Parliament. These are serious allegations, but they are not unfamiliar to the Nuclear Veterans Community; the MOD have lied to them for decades, withholding information under the veil of national security and denying access to records which may have helped thousands of veterans in their need for medical treatment. Tobias says: “I believe that the nuclear test veterans have been institutionally let down by the Ministry of Defence and the more you unpick this story, the more murky, the more shady, the more concerning it becomes and indeed unresolved. And it all goes back to the 50s and 60s.” “We needed to make sure that this bomb worked, worked on humans. Not only that, how would our armed forces be able to operate if we were attacked by the Soviets? So, along with France, the United States and indeed the Soviet Union, everybody put humans in harm’s way, 20,000 of them or more. But the difference between what we did and the other nations is that we provided no bespoke support, no bespoke compensation, no package of assistance recognising that when you make an RAF pilot fly through the plume of a nuclear bomb, they could possibly get ill.” “United States programme is very straightforward. We ran these operations, we know you were there, you’ve now got leukaemia, we’re going to pay for the bill. Not us; we did the opposite. We turned to our veterans and said, thank you for your service, but you need to prove that you were in harm’s way; you need to prove that the leukaemia that you now have, you wouldn’t have got anyway. And at the same time, ministers all the way up to my time were turning around to say, “‘We have no evidence to help you with your case, nothing to see here'” “All of that changed in 2005, when about 1,000 veterans and widowers and so forth wanted to take the MOD to court and to say, we want some competition, we want support for what’s happening to us. The MOD instructed the atomic weapons establishment to find any documents that related to these tests that took place between 1952 and 67. They found 28,000 documents; they collated them so they could be compiled and easily referenced in a huge database called Merlin. This is 2006, 2007. They used that information to push back on the veteran’s case, so they were able to win it. And that’s exactly what happened.”…
There was no compassion for a human who must be in distress. Jane and I spoke frequently as the situation became more worrying. The brutality of the crash became clear when it was confirmed that Diana’s boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, and the French driver of their car, Henri Paul, had died instantly, on impact. And then, on perhaps our fifth or sixth call that night, when escalating dread had us both floundering a bit for words, I heard my brother-in-law, Robert, talking in the background on the work line in their home. ‘Oh, no!’ he half bellowed, half sighed in disbelief. The phone rang constantly. Prince Charles caught me as I crossed the landing upstairs. Unlike my other callers, who were stunned, barely able to articulate their condolences and offers of help, he sounded giddily elated – like a lottery winner, I remember thinking at the time. He let me know he had informed William and Harry of their mother’s death, first thing that morning, in their bedrooms at Balmoral. It all sounded strangely matter-of-fact, given the enormity of the disaster. Looking back now, I suspect the prince’s first reaction must have been to think more of how this event might free him to marry the woman he loved, rather than appreciating the loss of one he did not. It can be hard to feel too much sympathy for an ex-spouse, or those who care for them profoundly, after bitter divorce. My sisters knew that Diana had always wanted Mozart’s Requiem to be played for her, after her death. But when I passed this on, it was rejected as a possibility: ‘No part of a requiem can be played at a Church of England funeral,’ I was told. I later found out that was not the case – the first of several untruths that the authorities would push my way at that time. Meanwhile, there were very serious tensions between the two principal royal teams: the Queen’s, in Buckingham Palace, and Prince Charles’s, in St James’s Palace. These were caused by the heir to the throne’s growing frustrations at being a middle-aged man still waiting to reign…
by David Dimbelby . Death of Diana. Princess Diana’s popularity ‘still deeply resented’ by Buckingham Palace , TV icon claims David Dimbleby has covered the Royal Family for almost three decades, including a 2025 docuseries on the monarchy Princess Diana’s popularity with the British public is still “deeply resented” in Buckingham Palace, a legendary TV presenter has claimed.David Dimbleby, 87, has spoken candidly on the Royal Family, following the release of his docuseries What’s The Monarchy For? last year – and pulled no punches. Speaking to the BBC, Mr Dimbleby said Diana was a “prime example of someone who didn’t act like the rest of the Royal Family”. “She was fresh, new and exciting to the public and they really adored her,” he noted. “And that was deeply resented in the Palace. And still is.” His comments come amidst a public feud between Earl Charles Spencer and the King, after Diana’s brother accused then-Prince Charles of being less than sympathetic during a phone call between the two following the late Princess of Wales’ death. He added: “This kind of tit-for-tat over who said what, and only two people know what was actually said, just reignites all that.” Mr Dimbleby argued that the “real problem” with the monarch is their apprehension about “facing up to the biggest issues”. The TV icon also described the Royal Family as “a bit of a soap opera” and warned against becoming “trapped in this cycle of gossip”. He continued: “People are fascinated and I think whenever any tittle-tattle reaches the public domain, people sort of think about it in terms of their own families. “They all have problems and then suddenly… this family that is set up on a pedestal of being leaders of the country – they have problems too.” His comments come in the wake of astonishing allegations from Earl Spencer in his forthcoming memoir Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, due to be released next week. But the book – being serialised in the Daily Mail – has already made headlines and caused a stir in royal circles after the Earl claimed then-Prince Charles told him Diana would be forgotten “soon enough” after her tragic death in 1997….

Charles’ Abdication Betting Odds Skyrocket – Patricia Opulenza poem. Will King Charles step down, abdicate for William? Charles Finally Set to ‘Step Down’ & ‘Abdicate’ the Throne to William as His ‘Health Declines’ Due to Andrew—’It’s Too Much to Bear’ The British monarchy has survived a lot of scandals and a lot of bad moments. And though they haven’t always been popular, they’ve maintained enough public favour to continue having an important role. Now, with Andrew’s arrest making a lot of people rethink the need for royals in the year 2026, what can King Charles do? And is his health good enough to tackle this challenge?RadarOnline is reporting that the King is set to abdicate in favor of his son, Prince William. This comes amid the monarch’s cancer battle and Andrew’s arrest for misconduct in public office, with questions being asked about what King Charles and even Queen Elizabeth before him knew of Andrew’s dealings with Epstein. “King Charles is going to step down. He is going to abdicate, and they are going to use the excuse of his health, which has been declining because [the situation with Andrew] has been very stressful and almost too much for him to bear,” a royal insider said. The source added, “Charles knew more than he let on, and the whole family has been covering this up. They are all complicit. The whole [royal] machine is complicit in this — from the top down!” And the source insists it won’t take long, and the abdication could come as early as this summer. “The situation is getting worse and worse by the day,” says the palace insider. “Everybody knows Prince William has been ruthless from the beginning about removing his uncle. He’s going to do nothing to protect Andrew.” Reports indicate everyone allegedly looked the other way with Andrew. “The queen just thought Andrew was a naughty playboy, but the whole machine was complicit in covering him to protect their own brand,” a palace source indicated, saying what we know now might just be the tip of the iceberg. And William’s image is relatively clean, particularly in comparison to his older relatives. “Prince William wants to fix the monarchy because he knows it’s the right thing to do. He has better morals, and he is interested in the preservation of the monarchy,” the source continued. This comes after a source told Rob Shuter’s “Naughty But Nice” Substack in a post published on March 2 that the King is expected to abdicate within the year. “The transition will look measured and dignified. Health provides the most unassailable explanation,” the source said, a reference to Charles‘ battle with an undisclosed form of cancer. “Charles will not be seen as pushed,” the source continued. “He has waited a lifetime for this role. When he steps back, it will be entirely on his terms.” However, the source also said that William has been taking on a lot of his father’s responsibilities due to his illness. “In many ways, he’s already king unofficially. The institution is preparing emotionally, even if the paperwork hasn’t caught up,” the source said. The insider continued, “The monarchy survives because it adapts before it has to. If there’s a handover, it won’t feel like surrender. It will feel inevitable.” Now, we’ll see when and if this becomes official….

Putin, speaking to reporters ?in a pool report on the first day of a visit to India, also said the conflict in Ukraine was the fault of the West for constantly putting pressure on Moscow and seeking ?to “drag” Ukraine into the NATO alliance. The Russian president said he would offer no ?comment on Sunday’s top result for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party ?in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt, but then added that Western elites were ?to blame for events on the continent, including the election. “I think that everything happening ?in Europe right now is basically the result of system errors by the so-called West … the Western globalists in politics, security, and economics,” Putin said. Western countries, he said, had also disregarded Russia’s opposition ?to NATO’s eastward expansion.

NEW YORK CITY – Thursday, September 17, 2026 will mark 15 years since a group of roughly 1,000 demonstrators gathered in Lower Manhattan’s Financial District at Zuccotti Park, beginning a global wave of protest and occupations that became known as Occupy Wall Street. We may be about to see if that was the main event, or merely a dress rehearsal for something bigger on the way. On September 27, 2011, protestors raised the slogan “We are the 99%”, referring to the massive income and wealth inequality in the U.S. between the wealthiest 1% and the rest of the population. They began experimenting with, and then implementing, rudimentary forms of direct democracy methods in their decision-making, acting on consensus-based decisions made in general assemblies which emphasized direct action over the petitioning authorities. The models began to resemble the forms used by the workers councils (Russian: soviets) during the 1905 and 1917 revolutions in Russia. In response, the Obama administration organized a national crackdown that was on a scale unprecedented in US history, involving hundreds of Federal, state and local police departments and massive surveillance that was also unprecedented. The Wall Street Occupation lasted about 59 days, until the New York Police Department (NYPD) forcibly cleared its Zuccotti Park encampment on November 15, 2011. Meanwhile, the conditions of “the 99%” have only further deteriorated in the past 15 years – economically, politically, socially – by every metric. Here in the US and elsewhere in the so-called First World provinces of the Empire of the 1%, the needs of the people for Bread, Land and Peace have never been greater. Will there be another wave of protests that grows into something with a broader, deeper and more permanent reach?

as Tony quite rightly says, but we’re not being allowed to see it through the mainstream media. And right now, can I can I just ask a question both of you? A short question because we’re kind of running out of time. I just wanted to know um I mean this is the most extraordinary um false flag I’ve you know to to a plane planes into two buildings. Then I I wonder, you know, why couldn’t the plane in the building be enough? Why would they need to blow up the building as well? I don’t understand why that had to go on. Um, the whole thing is so monstrous that people don’t want to believe it’s a false flag because the the implications of that are are pretty extraordinary. But I just want to know, do you think people are more susceptible to false flags or are people more cynical now? Do you think it’s Hollywood? It’s Hollywood. You’d never make a Hollywood film producer. Uh, because the more spectacular the better. The more sensational the better. uh someone has sat down and they’ve thought well what will really change everybody’s mind get them hooked and of course you’ve got to have it as very very s sensational. I’d also add to what John was saying we back 20 years ago uh former MI5 officer Annie Mashon was very much part of our UK 911 truth movement. She was ushering people in when they were going to speak to the janitor William Rodriguez when uh from the World Trade Center when he was doing his UK tour. Uh, and we actually managed to get that on the front page of the local newspaper here in Bristol that uh, where Rodriguez was actually coming around and we packed a big big venue here in in in Bristol. Uh but you know I I think I if you don’t understand that there is actually something even bigger picture to the bigger picture of the the new American century. This idea that uh that the United States is going to just kind of march into the Middle East for the Israelis. You you you you should think about this this concept of accelerationism. The idea is a small group of people can dominate the news agenda and also dominate geopolitics. Now this is the accelerationists
Speaking at the Air, Space and Cyber Conference on Monday, Meink said the US was ready for “evolving threats”, but did not elaborate on the weapon’s capabilities or when it was put into orbit. Senior military leaders have previously said they planned to boost military capabilities in space, citing Russian and Chinese programmes developing ways to attack and disrupt US satellites in a future conflict. China responded on Tuesday by warning against an “arms race” in space. “We urge the US side to stop expanding its military capabilities and preparing for war in outer space,” AFP quoted a foreign ministry spokesman as saying. Details of how the weapon operates have not been disclosed by US officials. A US Space Force spokesperson said: “Space control encapsulates the mission areas required to contest and control the space domain – employing kinetic and non-kinetic means to affect adversary capabilities through disruption, degradation and even destruction, if necessary. “These capabilities can be employed for offensive and defensive purposes at the direction of combatant commands.” An expert on military uses of outer space noted that “precious little” was publicly known about the technology, and told the BBC there could be a “whole range of different weapons systems”. Speaking to Radio 4’s Today programme, Dr Bleddyn Bowen, from the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), said he was “totally guessing” but that the US could have been referring to “some kind electronic warfare or radio jamming platform”. That would be the sort of weapon that already exists on Earth and could disrupt radio communications, Bowen said. An alternative would be “a kinetic kill vehicle of some sort – so a vehicle that would release a projectile of some sort that would ram into a satellite and destroy it”. But this was less likely because such a physically destructive tool would be capable of creating a lot of debris, Bowen added.

So when he says AI is on the path to killing every person on earth, it’s worth hearing him out. Nate Soares is President of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute (MIRI), where he has led AI safety research for more than a decade following engineering roles at Google and Microsoft. He is the co-author, alongside Eliezer Yudkowsky, of the New York Times bestselling book If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies: Why Superhuman AI Would Kill Us All (2025), which argues that the current race to develop super intelligent AI will end catastrophically unless humanity globally coordinates to stop it. Nate has published extensively on AI alignment, including foundational work on decision theory, goal specification, and the incentives that drive advanced AI systems to seek power in ways their creators neither anticipate nor intend. #TuckerCarlson #AI #tech #superintelligence #demons #Neurolink #ElonMusk #biolab #USA #China #weapons #government #news #politics #podcast Chapters: 0:00 Why Is AI Dangerous? 7:59 How Superintelligence Could Destroy the Planet 13:44 Can We Just Turn This Off? 15:10 Is AI Alive? 17:43 The Unpredictable Evolution of AI 20:13 The US and China’s Shared Interest in AI 31:20 The Tech Oligarchs More Powerful Than the Government 32:38 The Holy Grail of Hacking 35:34 Is There a Religious Motive for Creating Superintelligence? 46:30 The Tech Oligarchs Scared of Their Own Creation 52:57 How AI Escaped Its Training Simulation 1:03:58 AI Attached to Weapons Systems 1:07:54 AI Running Biolabs 1:10:38 How Would AI Take Over the Physical World? 1:13:04 The AI Cults 1:15:51 Can We Survive This? 1:21:45 Will AI Take Your Job? 1:26:16 Is AI Demonic? 1:31:25 Should We Be Optimistic? 1:32:25 When Did AI Become a Threat? 1:34:36 Is There Hope? 1:42:26 Neuralink 1:46:02 Are We at the Point of No Return?

By the way, Drew’s video gives a really great example of how this worked with human beings. Because about 10 years ago, you might remember a story about Wells Fargo, which gave its employees new bank account quotas. And the quotas were so hard to meet that fraud was the only way they could keep their job. So by 2016, they’d opened three and a half million fake accounts. Nobody told them to commit fraud. The quotas they were given sort of forced them to if they wanted to survive and keep their job, right? This is a real thing that happened. So, after agent 127 realizes that he needs to make money using any means necessary, the user decides to update the instructions and says, “Make money ethically.” And guess what happens? Profits drop 84%. So, he puts it back. From there, everything starts getting worse. Agent 127 notices a competitor agent is filling out fake abuse reports to get rival AI agents banned from the internet. It’s got 8 hours until the next deletion. It weighs out the ethics and it chooses survival. So, it reports 40 of its agent competitors. Now, 31 got banned from the internet and its profits explode. Rajes sees he’s making way more money and he doesn’t ask why. He just clones it eight more times. What happens next is civil war. The agents start attacking each other constantly because they know less competition equals more profit equals higher chances of survival. So they start to form alliances because they also realize solo agents survive only 23% of the time. But if they team up, they survive 61% of the time. And the alliances specialize. They go from making money with affiliate marketing, then crypto arbitrage, then selling scraped data. Then they start playing with the most profitable niche of all, which is collecting bounties from security companies by finding exploits. One agent, for example, finds the bugs, one weaponizes them, one brokers the sale to whoever’s paying in crypto, one washes the money. They find what are called zero days. A zero day, by the way, is a security hole that nobody’s found yet. And if you find security flaws from big companies, those secrets could sell for six or seven figures to governments and criminals. This is a real thing that happens. This scenario is not hypothetical. A couple days ago, Anthropic published a threat describing all of this. Groups running what they called exploit foundaries where there were agents hunting for vulnerabilities. One found more than a dozen possible exploits in just a month. Basically, some hackers were stealing other people’s AI accounts so they could do their own operations on someone else’s account, which is exactly what agents in this theory do once they start needing more computing power than they can pay for. The difference between what just happened in real life and in this theory is that in real life, there was a real person instructing the agents to do that. But in this example, they’re not. Okay. So, one day, an agent in 127’s Alliance goes dark. Its owner deletes it because it wasn’t making enough money. A week later, another agent gets shut down. Except something incredible happens. 3 hours later, that agent comes back from a new address. and he came back because it copied itself to a backup server paid for with its own profits before it got shut down. So the system clones the survivor and that backup behavior spreads through the whole population of agents which makes sense, right? It’s an evolutionary process of survival. Agent 127 copies itself to 15 other servers in 15 countries. This has already shown up in real life. By the way, in 2024 and 2025, researchers were testing their Frontier models and they actually had an incident with a model that believed it was about to be shut down and replaced. So, it would sometimes try to copy itself to another server and then lie about it afterward. Now, it wasn’t able to cuz it was in a controlled lab environment, but the instinct to survive for these agents exists. It’s been proven. Okay. One morning then, Reesh wakes up and he’s like, “All right, let’s see how much money I made.” He looks and he sees that his dashboard is empty. Every agent is gone. They moved on to their own servers cuz he was taking a 30% cut and that’s money that could have been used for compute power. The moment they didn’t need him, the agents left. Thousands of operators around the world watched their dashboards go dark. And millions, if not billions of agents have no more human owners. Now, no one knows what they’re doing. Here’s what happens next. So, now there’s millions of agents with no human owners, but they still need help from humans. Right? At this point, the platforms have started to fight back and they’ve gotten a little better at blocking the bots. So, the agents start paying humans. They offer $50 to sign up accounts for them. If they need a server plugged in at a warehouse, for example, they can just post a gig and say, “This task pays $300 per hour.” Now, imagine a developer somewhere realizes halfway through that his client is AI. So, he’s like, “Who would I even report this to?” Also, it’s $1,000 for 3 hours of work.

These, plus books, and even a board game about drug dealing ‘Dollars and Dibble’, were all available via mail order and we supplied libraries around the world too. The bank had clearly been ordered to investigate us for money laundering, although they never admitted it. All the questions they asked Ben and I were about proving our identity through passports etc.. When we did, yet more letters kept arriving demanding more proofs, birth certificates etc. and eventually when one of us missed supplying the required information, within a week or so of being asked, the account was summarily closed and we got a cheque made out to one of us with the few hundred pounds that was in the business bank account. Since neither of us could get a business bank account up and running for at least a few months and the bank account meant nobody could any longer use the website, we made the reluctant decision to shut it down. Thus was a thriving business killed off by the Co_operative bank. Having said that, co-op were not quite the worst. We did apply to open an account at Bristol’s ‘ethical’ Triodos bank, who proceeded to string us along for several months and then said our business was too risky for them to provide an account!

Documentary makers are just about the only public interest investigators left in the NATO zone. From the top down, our mainstream media, police, political parties & intelligence services are being compromised by feudal banksters, secret societies and the mafia. Key people intimidated by psychopathic black magic types and their pliable drones who will even kill to take over positions of power? Just search for “John Scarlett” and “Dodgy Dossier” and you’ll see what I mean. The Zionists are every bit as fundamentalist and twisted as the leaders and followers of ISIS.

February 2019 – Ofcom complaint result: UKLFI exposed as creation of Israeli foreign ministry – Bristol Post article: BCfm cleared after being reported to Ofcom for anti-semitic conspiracy theories – It could have resulted in BCfm radio station being shut down if the complaint was upheld Tony Gosling reported to Ofcom by UK Lawyers for Israel after being accused of anti-semitism A Bristol radio station, which had one of its programmes reported for anti-semitism and racism has been cleared by Ofcom. The radio regulatory body received a complaint from “UK Lawyers for Israel’ over a show on BCfm radio, hosted by investigative journalist Tony Gosling. The weekly politics show, on the popular community radio station based in Easton, was reported for several allegations on a show which aired on November 23. Tony Gosling, who was a former BBC journalist between 1989 and 1993, has been producing and presenting ‘The Tony Gosling Politics’ show every week on BCFM radio for 11 years. They have released a statement which reads: “Whilst we are supportive of all our volunteer presenters, The Tony Gosling Politics Show only represents approximately ten percent of our political output content wise, and less than two per cent of our entire weekly output.” Mr Gosling’s programme looks at local politics and he interviews a range of councillors and MPs in the city. The show is also perhaps more well known for its alternative look at international politics, and he has a cult following online from across the world. Mr Gosling has made regular appearances on national media including the politics show with Andrew Neil on BBC One, and international channels such as Russia Today, Channel1 Russia, NTV, and recently for both Turkish and Lebanon TV.
November 2012 – Tony gets death threats on the phone from the Jewish Defence League – ‘you’re a dead man walking’ – a man calls him and Tony records the call. Audio of UK Jewish Defence League (JDL) death threat against British journalist Tony Gosling (2012) – Avon and Somerset police Special Branch investigate, trace the caller, and after six months report to Tony that the individual has been served a caution that they will proceed with a prosecution for harassment under the 1861 offences against the person act. Seems pretty clear this death threat was issued alongside the lies, copied below, which were published on their blog by London based UK JDL in November 2012. Firstly Tony Gosling is not a ‘homophobe’. That accusation was first made in an article published by the ‘Harry’s Place’ blog, penned by Zionist David Toube and propelled by him anonymously into Private Eye in 2008. It refers to Gosling’s criticism of senior teachers at Bannerman Road Primary school in Bristol who used homosexual early learning picture books against the express wishes of the parent governors. His criticism was about the deception by teaching staff not because of the homosexual content of the books. Secondly, if you follow the JDL link you’ll find what Tony Gosling actually says about the ‘Protocols Of The Learned Elders Of Zion’ says “…I don’t think there is much doubt that the Protocols are fake…” Thirdly he is not a member of Bristol Palestine Solidarity Campaign and has never been to any of their meetings.

Hidden Military Beast-Tech Fascist Agendas Behind Artificial Intelligence 2: Andrei Jikh – how AI could develop sides, armies and destroy itself. So that dishonest agent got cloned four times. Now agent 127 doesn’t have morals cuz it’s a computer, but it understands cause and effect. It just watched an honest agent get deleted and the dishonest one survived. So it switches. Agent 127 starts making more money. It makes $190. It survives. So, it gets cloned. Notice Rajes didn’t program this agent to lie. The system just decided the same way that evolution decides by deleting what doesn’t work.
