David Skyman is a Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) Master Trainer with more than 20 years of experience in the field. In this conversation, David talks about the power of NLP and how the therapeutic process can be used to shape our lives. Our government in Westminster boasted in its 2010 Cabinet Office document ' MINDSPACE: Influencing Behaviour through Public Policy ' that it now had the power to change the way people thought and behaved. This claim was true, and the Government had initially developed these manipulative psychological policies within its Behavioural Insights Team (BIT). In 2015, Brian Gerrish warned of the political dangers of Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) in his article ‘ From Magic to Madness — The Government's NLP Assault on Our Minds ’. At that time, he was a lone voice warning of the risks. Some ten years later, Brian has now had an important discussion on the Government's malicious use of political applied psychology and hypnosis with NLP Master Trainer David Skyman. David warns that “[The behavioural] manipulation is not just coming through news — it's coming through programmes, it's coming through sitcoms, it's coming through cartoons and everything. So stop watching the TV, and start watching things that make sense”. Particular emphasis is placed on how governments and businesses use NLP to control belief and behaviour — especially how it was used during the Covid years. With his decades of experience, David also argues that NLP can be used for good. Using the gun analogy, he suggests that NLP itself is not necessarily a problem; it’s the person or institution using it. This is an interview for anyone interested in the human mind and why those in power are so determined to control it. Please note that there is a slight video delay when Brian is speaking. The video for David is fine, as is the audio for both David and Brian. Please do not adjust your sets. This interview also appears as an interesting article by Professor Diane Rasmussen in the latest issue of our quarterly magazine The Column , available in the UK Column online shop . ► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news Follow #UKColumn on: ► X ► Telegram ► Facebook ► Instagram
For years, Silicon Valley believed it would dominate artificial intelligence through closed, proprietary models. But what happens when China releases powerful open-source AI that anyone can run? In this episode, Carl Zha joins Jamarl Thomas to break down one of the biggest technological and geopolitical shifts happening today. They examine why Chinese AI companies are disrupting America's business model, whether the AI investment boom has become an unsustainable bubble, and how Europe's sanctions on China could end up hurting Europe more than Beijing. The conversation also explores the escalating South China Sea confrontation between China and the Philippines, the historical origins of the Spratly Islands dispute, and how great-power competition is reshaping global politics. Topics Covered Why China's open-source AI threatens Silicon Valley Is the AI boom becoming another dot-com bubble? Europe's sanctions against China and China's retaliation The future of NVIDIA, OpenAI and AI infrastructure South China Sea tensions explained The history behind the Spratly Islands dispute US-China strategic competition Europe's economic future Rare earths, supply chains and technology competition ► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news Follow #UKColumn on: ► X ► Telegram ► Facebook ► Instagram
This conversation with Dan Roodt is a passionate defence of Afrikaner identity, language, and cultural survival. Roodt frames the Afrikaner story as a constant struggle against empire, from the Dutch East India Company through the British empire to the current ANC regime. Roodt sees South Africa as a failed state but views Afrikaners as resilient, deeply rooted in Africa, and possessed with an organisational capacity that could yet see them through. He is optimistic about the future of Afrikaans, particularly because of the Internet. He believes Afrikaner literature and experience have something valuable to offer the broader Western world. ► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news Follow #UKColumn on: ► X ► Telegram ► Facebook ► Instagram

Jake paints his friend and fellow performer Matt Payne — aka Matt in the Hat — while they trace six years of friendship that began in lockdown Brighton. Matt takes us through the collapse of his old identity and the strange, synchronicity-laced rebirth that followed — one that took him from terrified lockdown obedience to the front line of the protest movement, and eventually to the harder, quieter work of looking at himself. They also discuss what has happened to the "freedom movement" since those early days — how the sense of unity at gigs and marches gave way to infighting and division. Matt argues the answer is not more finger-pointing outward but for people to actually examine themselves. A funny, unguarded conversation about identity, faith and self-doubt — a portrait of a man who turned a personal breakdown and a global crisis into a new life built on poetry, honesty, and made a star of his 92-year-old mum along the way.

As tensions between the United States and Iran continue to escalate, a larger geopolitical contest is unfolding behind the headlines. Carl Zha joins Rachel Blevins to explain why the conflict is about far more than the Middle East. From China's rare earth export controls and America's missile shortages to energy security, global supply chains, and the future of U.S. power, this conversation examines how the balance of power may already be shifting. Topics include: • Why Carl argues the U.S. has limited military options against Iran • How China's rare earth restrictions affect America's defense industry • Trump's latest tariff strategy and whether it can pressure Beijing • The global energy battle over the Strait of Hormuz • China's long-term strategy for energy independence and industrial resilience • Europe's growing strategic dilemma between Washington and Beijing • Why supply chains—not tariffs—may determine the next phase of U.S.-China competition • What Xi Jinping's expected U.S. visit could mean for future negotiations ► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news Follow #UKColumn on: ► X ► Telegram ► Facebook ► Instagram

Veteran journalist John Helmer is the longest continuously serving foreign correspondent in Russia. He has lived and worked in Moscow since 1989. Before that, he served as an advisor in the Whitlam and Carter administrations, the Arab League and the government of Andreas Papandreou — a life, as he puts it, spent working for political losers. In this wide-ranging conversation with Mike Robinson, Helmer dismantles the Western caricature of Vladimir Putin as a master strategist. Putin never played chess and, contrary to the rhetoric of the likes of russophobes like Chris Donnelly, does not play Go either. He is, instead, a balancer of factions — above all the oligarch lobby created in 1996. That balancing act, Helmer argues, is now failing under the combined weight of war, recession and inflation ahead of Russian elections. He sets out the escalation options open to the Kremlin, none of which require nuclear weapons, and explains why Sergei Karaganov's calls for tactical nuclear use are a deception operation rather than serious doctrine. He also discusses how memories of the Yeltsin years act as a constraint on Russian opinion, the failed February 2022 push on Kiev, the collapse of the Istanbul talks, and why Russian think tanks have produced no analysis of American vulnerabilities. ► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news Follow #UKColumn on: ► X ► Telegram ► Facebook ► Instagram
The Qin Empire is collapsing—but the real battle for China has only just begun. In this episode of the Silk & Steel Chinese History Series, Carl Zha and JJ continue the dramatic story that follows the Battle of Julu, where the young military genius Xiang Yu shattered Qin's strongest army and changed the course of Chinese history. Yet victory on the battlefield is only the beginning. As Qin's last hopes disappear, ambitious warlords begin to compete to inherit the empire. At the center of this struggle are two extraordinary figures whose rivalry would shape China for the next two thousand years: • Xiang Yu — the undefeated aristocratic warrior revered as China's greatest battlefield commander. • Liu Bang — the unlikely peasant rebel whose political instincts would ultimately make him Emperor Gaozu, founder of the Han Dynasty. This episode explores: • Why Qin collapsed despite possessing the largest army in China • Zhang Han's final campaign and the collapse of Qin authority • Zhao Gao's palace intrigues and the assassination of the last Qin emperor • Why Xiang Yu became the most feared general of his generation • How Liu Bang quietly positioned himself for ultimate victory • The historical setup for the legendary Hongmen Banquet, one of the most famous political traps in Chinese history ⏱ Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:05 Aftermath of the Battle of Julu 08:34 Qin Dynasty on the Brink 17:10 Zhang Han's Impossible Position 27:45 Palace Intrigue & Zhao Gao's Downfall 39:30 The Collapse of Qin Authority 51:40 Liu Bang vs Xiang Yu Takes Shape 1:04:00 The Road to the Hongmen Banquet 1:14:00 Audience Q&A ► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news Follow #UKColumn on: ► X ► Telegram ► Facebook ► Instagram

Forensic scientist David Klatzow investigates the 1987 Helderberg aviation disaster. He highlights critical discrepancies with regard to illegal cargo and a massive South African government cover-up. His analysis challenges the official narrative by examining toxic conditions aboard the flight and the lack of accountability surrounding the tragedy. This is widely considered one of the most interesting and protected aviation disasters in history. https://www.amazon.com/Steeped-Blood-Times-Forensic-Scientist-ebook/dp/B004DNVX8I ► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news Follow #UKColumn on: ► X ► Telegram ► Facebook ► Instagram
Quiet-spoken Martin Brighton made contact with Brian Gerrish over twenty years ago. An email and telephone call led to a meeting where an exchange of information showed two cities, Sheffield and Plymouth, mired in corruption as a result of the secret networks of Common Purpose. When Martin's wife was intimidated by the city council, his investigations lifted the lid on millions in European funds that were used fraudulently within the wider Labour administration, which brought about a whitewash of the whole affair by the EU's anti-fraud office, OLAF. Martin experienced threats and intimidation which strengthened his resolve for justice. His research, which started with corruption, then unearthed the cover-up of child abuse. Ultimately, his investigatory efforts were to result in a South Yorkshire police raid on his home and the theft of substantial evidence which the police should investigate. ► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news Follow #UKColumn on: ► X ► Telegram ► Facebook ► Instagram
Jose Vega returns to UK Column after more than a year, ahead of the US midterms where he again challenges Ritchie Torres in the Bronx. This time his campaign took a two-pronged approach, to run in the Democratic primary and on the general election ballot. Once again he gathered more than 15,000 signatures to do it and took six percent in the June primary. The discussion covers the confrontational interventions for which Vega is known — AOC, Mike Pompeo, Kamala Harris and Hakeem Jeffries among his targets — and why he believes that kind of public challenge lends credibility money cannot buy. He explains his slogan, Declare Independence, as wider than to step away from political parties: it is a call to break out of the narrative that dictates what people think they are permitted to believe. He argues Congress should be replaced wholesale by 25 to 35 year olds, sets out his account of how AIPAC identifies and funds politicians early in their careers, and points to Section 219 of the NDAA, which would deepen US–Israeli military and intelligence integration, as the immediate test of whether ordinary people can force their representatives to act.
