Second hour: Bristol Radical Film Festival with Shaun Dey from independent political filmmakers Reel News. News blackout on Electricians Union dispute. ‘No More Fukushimas’ demonstration next weekend, 10th & 11th March 2012, on 1st anniversary of Japan’s nuclear disaster. Latest developments on possible new nuclear power station being built at Hinkley Point by French firm EDF with Crispin Aubrey from Stop Hinkley. Outside interference in Syrian Civil War – EU/NATO/Israel have no desire for peace, French and British close their embassies in Damascus. Finally getting the full picture of Islamic terrorism – it leads back to Western intelligence services. Voting fraud is more common than you think, Bush cheated both times he was ‘elected’. Anonymous target CIA linked Strategic Intelligence firm Stratfor, target of latest mass Wikileaks. The Obama administration’s war against truth by Amy Goodman. Stratfor’s Intelligence-Industrial Complex. Onscreen apology from BBC World News for showing a whole series of advertising programmes but pretending they were documentaries. Author of Extreme Prejudice: The Terrifying Story of the Patriot Act and the Cover Ups of 9/11 and Iraq. Susan Lindauer’s CIA handler Richard Fuisz told her, “tell Saddam Hussein to do what we say” or the US are “going to declare war on Iraq and bomb it back to the stone age”. Threat originated above the Director of the CIA and above Secretary of State – comes directly from president Bush, Vice-President/arms manufacturer Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld. Every crime requires motive and opportunity: “9/11 was like a magician’s trick”. Were WTC Twin Towers pre-wired with explosives? Nightly between 23rd August and 3rd September 2001, between 3-5am, parking garage cameras filmed 3 or 4 suspicious minivan trucks, this evidence all allegedly captured on CCTV over two weeks. Were individuals in these vehicles laying explosive charges in the buildings ready for 9/11?

First hour: News review with Lord William Dartmouth MEP (UKIP) Extradition and European Arrest Warrant abuse cases: Hungary Michael & Jason Norway Julian Assange, USA Christopher Tappin – Greek Finance Minister Giorgos Papakonstantinou & John Redwood: What would happen if Greece defaulted? Would default bring police and army in the streets if Drachma is reissued? Redwood says 87 countries left a single currency since the second world war. When is the next bank holiday in Greece? What will a crash be like? We try to guess what the Greek Finance minister Giorgos Papakonstantinou would have said about the Icelandic default if BBC’s Jeremy Paxman had not interrupted him. Health and Social Care bill: NHS privatisation is a gathering political storm for David Cameron and Andrew Lansley. Should Bristol have an elected mayor? Straw polls of council house debate audience: at start: 41% yes 12% no 47% undecided. Half way through: 38%, 29%, 32%. At end: 47% yes, 35% no, 17% undecided. End result: four of the undecided chose ‘no’ for every one that chose ‘yes’. Extrapolate that proportion for all the undecided and you get an approx. final result as follows 51% ‘yes’ to a mayor and 49% ‘no’. Exit the back to work tsar, Emma Harrison resigns A4E Civil Servants getting £6m. Certain kind of person who masters the jargon – with a bit of charisma and impresses politicians – we need to watch out for these dangerous characters in politics.

Psychological Warfare. Sabine McNeill: Victims Unite – dangers of the rise of fascism in the financial crisis, could austerity pave the way for a new Hitler? Are 87% of judges freemasons?
