The UK Column Conundrum
Iain Davis
The independent media faces a conundrum. We need to be able to criticise and to respond to each other’s work without it spiraling down the plughole into a messy mulch of accusation, counter-accusation, and unseemly personal spats.
This is very important. If independent journalists and outlets can’t manage to stay at least somewhat professional, audiences and readers will drift away with good reason.
At the risk of boring you rigid, dear reader, I understand why yet another article written about what has apparently happened at UK Column (UKC) would seem to you to be just more immature bitching from a former UKC contributor—me. I must have some sort of chip on my shoulder, and why should you be even remotely interested?
Why does any of this stuff matter when we are all facing a rapidly emerging digital dictatorship? Are people like me deliberately trying to undermine the so-called truth movement by distracting the focus away from a united resistance with self-defeating arguments, instead of working together against the common enemy? These are all reasonable questions.
Please, allow me to explore with you why that is not the case and why this issue does matter.
The UK-based independent media outlet UK Column (UKC) recently felt compelled to issue a strident rebuttal after two of its former presenters aired numerous grievances, apparently of a personal nature, during a conversation hosted by Michael Ginsburg (Actionable Truth Media). Evidently, Ginsburg thought there was enough in what the pair of former presenters said to illustrate a point about UKC content that he, and other independent media commentators, have been trying to highlight for some time.
In its recent news update, UK Column suggested that Ginsburg may be linked to Israeli Unit 8200 and reiterated its insinuation that UKC is facing some sort of coordinated attack, potentially sponsored by Israel, from a group of independent media journalists aiming to destroy it. Ginsburg, of course, denies the allegation.
I have no idea if the allegation UKC has levelled against Ginsburg is true, but it is largely irrelevant to me. I am not part of any group trying to bring down UKC, but I do share the concerns raised by some independent media journalists about the recent changes to UKC’s output.
Ginsburg introduced the discussion as follows:
In early 2025 there was a change in the ownership structure of UK Column. Following the possession of a 20% stake in the outlet by a Hong Kong-registered corporate entity called YMS Market Access Ltd., which was determined to be controlled by a German national by the name of Marcel Janhke.
Ginsburg posited that the anecdotes from the pair of former UKC presenters suggested a shift in UKC content following Janhke’s investment. The purpose of the discussion, he said, was to consider what lessons the independent media could learn from from this apparent change in UKC reporting, seemingly as a result of investor influence.
I shared the Ginsburg video on my Telegram channel because I have similar concerns. My reposting of the video drew fierce criticism from current UKC freelance presenter and journalist Vanessa Beeley. Her reasons for anger were understandable given that some of the allegations made by the pair in the Ginsburg video were directed against her.
In retrospect, rather than simply reposting the discussion, I should have added my own observation that many of the claims made by the former presenters lacked supporting evidence. Perhaps Ginsburg should have agreed on an edit with his guests prior to putting the video out because, in my opinion, the apparent personal animosity did detract from the broader point he was trying to make. But it is all too easy to be wise with hindsight.

Independent journalism can broadly be defined as “journalism that isn’t beholden to governments, corporations, and other outside influences. This allows for impartial reportage that helps people make informed decisions on important issues.” It is that independence from corporate and political influence that should, in my view, afford independent journalists a freedom that their mainstream counterparts don’t enjoy.
Independent journalists should use that freedom to question official narratives. Unlike nearly all mainstream journalists—the days of the fearless investigative reporter writing for the mainstream media have passed—independent journalists are not forced to parrot corporate and political talking points to earn a crust. This is only possible because of the internet. An online independent media audience, willing to financially support independent journalism, has emerged. This is why governments around the world are relentlessly censoring and attacking independent journalism and outlets like UKC.
UKC specifically markets itself as “the antidote to mainstream propaganda.” It has rarely failed to deliver on that promise to its paying audience members and subscribers.
UKC is consistently sceptical of political and mainstream media narratives. It regularly exposes the contradictions inherent in state propaganda. It is far more independent, more activist focused, and far less prone to influence than any mainstream media outlet you can mention. Freelance journalists and presenters working with UKC commonly provide evidence-based reports, to an actively engaged UKC audience, of the kind that no controlled mainstream journalist will ever produce, even if capable of it.
On the whole, UKC has served its mainly, but not exclusively, British audience and paying subscribers admirably. Its coverage during the COVID-19 scam was outstanding. It really did keep many people sane as they wrestled with the insanity unfolding around them during that awful time. It was through UKC that many discovered they were not alone.
I was delighted when UKC gave me my first meaningful break in independent journalism. I wrote pieces for UKC in a freelance capacity and was even a guest on some UKC news programs. UKC never tried to editorialise anything I wrote for it. I enjoyed working with UKC immensely, and I am grateful for the opportunity.
Independent freelance journalists are paid to write original pieces by outlets like UKC. Sometimes, editorial changes are necessary for reasons of legal compliance. As an independent freelance journalist, this kind of editorial support is welcome. As a lone blogger, or writer on Substack, not having that advice available can feel a bit dodgy at times.
Obviously, everyone needs to earn a living but I can assure you that no genuinely committed independent journalist is in it for the money. They’ll soon become disillusioned if they are.
To become as wealthy as Joe Rogan or Tucker Carlson, you need massive corporate backing and consistent promotion by the algorithms. You can’t realistically expect to receive this corporate backing unless you serve the corporate agenda, at least to some extent.
Smaller mainstream alternative media (MAM) talking heads, hoping to be the next Rogan, often chase the algorithms, jumping on whatever hot topic they think will find approval and gather clicks. Driven by mainstream narratives, they can’t really be considered independent journalists either.
UKC has never engaged in this kind of activity. This is another reason why so many, especially in the UK, hold UKC in high regard. It has built a reputation based upon high-quality journalism and has risen to become an important independent voice for many people in the UK. This highlights why the recent criticisms of its content shift matter.
* * *
In their published rebuttal, UKC offered supporting evidence and dealt forcefully with the former presenters allegations. I am not very interested in this kind of personal imbroglio, though I can appreciate why UKC felt the need to defend itself in this manner.
Given the wider, more evidence-based criticisms of UKC’s recent coverage, I was more interested in UKC’s opening statement to its rebuttal:
The attacks [. . .] appear to betray an intent to harm the UK Column, the individuals running it, and the members supporting it. With regard to any further course of action, advice is being taken. [. . .] The Ginsburg interview took the form of yet another ‘investigation’ into the association of Marcel Jahnke with UK Column in order to confirm the bias that the relationship is somehow ‘improper.’ There appears to be a clear determination by a small clique within the so-called alternative media space to tarnish the reputation of Marcel and any individual or organisation he has so generously supported over the years. It is up to the reader to decide the motivations for this, which may include bitterness, jealousy, or even, in this case, an organised effort to destroy UK Column.
Therefore, we can take it as read that the suspicion shared by some that UKC backer Marcel Janhke has influenced UKC content is the contention UKC are most eager to disabuse their audience of.
According to UKC, then, there exists a “small clique” of “so-called alternative” journalists who have a “clear determination [. . .] to tarnish the reputation of Marcel [Janhke].” It is supposedly up to readers to freely decide why this “small clique” is “intent to harm UK Column,” though UKC recommends that readers consider the possibility that they are motivated by “bitterness, jealousy, or [. . .] an organised effort to destroy” UKC. A threat of legal action against the “small clique” is implied.
The “small clique,” says UKC, has a confirmation bias because they allegedly suggest Marcel Jahnke’s relationship with UKC is improper. Further, in their rebuttal, UKC state the following:
Marcel Jahnke became a 20% shareholder of UK Column’s operating company, Akita Media Ltd, in 2025. He has since made a significant financial contribution in the form of a shareholder loan, which has enabled the UK Column to develop much more quickly than would otherwise have been possible. [. . .] The running sub-theme in the course of the interview [hosted by Ginsburg] was that Marcel is forcing a pro-China position on the UK Column. Anyone who believes that hasn’t been paying attention.”
This wasn’t a “sub-theme,” it was explicitly stated by Ginsburg as the reason for the interview. I am not aware of anyone suggesting Jahnke’s relationship with UKC is “improper.” Nor that he is “forcing a pro-China position” on UKC. The observations made by the growing number of people who have been paying at least some attention to UKC content are far more straightforward and much less conspiratorial than UKC’s rebuttal.
The concern is simply that following investment from Jahnke, UKC, for the first time, started China-maxxing and began to broadcast multipolar global governance propaganda.
* * *
“China-maxxing” is the term some independent media journalists—including myself,—have adopted to describe the clear shift in western media and social media narratives away from blanket vilification of China and its government toward uncritical promotion of Chinese government initiatives. Personally, I reject both positions.
The Chinese government does not represent an existential threat to “our way of life” and is not our collective enemy, in my view. China has, however, arguably gone further and faster than any other major nation-state to impose Technocracy on its population. All western governments are rapidly catching up in their effort to do the same. Chinese Technocracy is the global exemplar, not the outlier, hence China-maxxing.
It is the use of Technocracy by all governments, not just China’s, that ultimately constitutes a global threat to humanity. Western media propagandists are now keen to extol the virtues of China’s rapidly emerging digital gulag to convince Western populations to welcome the same kind of digital surveillance state at home.
China-maxxing propaganda is a modern phenomenon precisely because all western governments, notably including the UK government, want to convince all of us to submit to their own version of a technocratic digital Panopticon.
Similarly, the multipolar world order (MWO) is the latest model of global governance to have found favour internationally. Despite appearances, no leading national government is opposed to the MWO. They are all working to build it while seeking to maximise their influence within it—the two objectives are not mutually exclusive.
As a leading BRICS nation, China is openly seen to be leading the push to manifest the MWO. Others, like the US government, are presented to us as the resistance. But we are now in a hybrid war and “information-centric” strategies are selling the MWO to different demographics through tailored propaganda narratives.
That the US Trump administration has withdrawn from a number of UN institutions is seen by many as evidence of US-led opposition to the kind of centralised global order, under the auspices of the UN, advocated by the BRICS nations.
Yet, both the Russian and the Chinese governments—leading BRICS governments—waved their UN Security Council veto rights and stepped aside to enable the US government sponsored UN Resolutions 2803 to succeed. The resolution tentatively establishes a potential public-private alternative to the UN Security Council: Trump’s so-called Board of Peace.
Contrary to initial appearances, this US move is not a rejection of the proposed MWO, quite the opposite. Multipolarity is a global regional balance of power system of global governance.
The balkanisation of the current “rules-based” global order is prerequisite to establish the MWO. Trump’s specific Board of Peace initiative may fail, but the idea will persist until some variation of it succeeds and the regionalised system of global governance can be established.
China-maxxing lends internationally approved narrative support to multiparty because it promotes the technocratic digital surveillance that all multipolar regions will use to control their populations. The proposed MWO, which will create what we might call regional-interoperability, is currently being constructed.
It is just another attempt to establish a global dictatorship under the centralised authority of the global public-private partnership and, ultimately, a transnational capitalist parasite class.

As far as I know, the suspicion is not that UKC is a nest of secret squirrels working for the enemy. The reasonable concern is that there has been a shift in UKC content that correlates with the arrival of Jahnke’s money.
Former academic and independent analyst, journalist, and author David Hughes is presumably the “academic” among the “small clique” UKC suspects of involvement in the international conspiracy aiming to take it down. That does not change the fact that Hughes is among the independent journalists who have reported the evidence that poses legitimate questions about the apparent change to UKC content.
Hughes wrote:
Marcel Jahnke, the German businessman who acquired a 20% stake in Akita Media Ltd., which trades as UK Column (UKC) shortly before Nell (Jerm Warfare) and Carl Zha were given their own slots there. Jahnke’s only published interview (paywalled) was with Zha in 2023. [. . .] According to UK Column’s Mike Robinson, “[Jahnke] has no desire to see us headed in any direction other than the one we intended to go in.” Who knew that UKC was already planning to onboard Nell (in May 2025) and Zha and devote an increasing amount of time and attention (and trips) to China from that point on?
Specifically then, it is the UKC content from Carl Zha and Jerm Warfare that represents the reported “shift.” In its rebuttal (referenced above), UKC acknowledged that the arrival of “new voices” always brings “new perspectives,” and some sort of “editorial shift” inevitably follows. This is entirely as you might expect and is certainly not “improper.”
In my relatively brief experience, UKC content creation is very much a collaborative effort. They invite their freelancers and contributors to work with them to develop content for their audience. In their rebuttal, UKC emphasised that “the one person who has no say editorially is Marcel Jahnke, and at no stage has he ever asked for such editorial control.”
This appears to be a bit of a strawman argument. None of UKC’s recent critics have argued that Jahnke has “editorial control” of UKC. No one is suggesting that UKC has become a slave to the Chinese state or is now under the influence of the United Nations or Donald Trump.
UKC obviously does not just pump out “pro-China” propaganda. This UKC article, for example, written by Dr. Marwa Osman and published by UKC after Janhke invested, is highly critical of the Chinese government.
Vanessa Beeley was at pains to point out to me how critical she, as a UKC freelancer and frequent presenter, is of Chinese government policies. UKC provides her an opportunity to make these public criticisms. Nonetheless, China-maxxing and a pro MWO content is now readily available on the UKC platform.
For example, at about 17 minutes into this UKC video, posted on 24th November 2025, Carl Zha downplays China’s fierce COVID lockdowns and talks about how lovely it was for Chinese people to be occasionally allowed out of their flats to walk around within the confines of their lockdown compounds.
He then extols the alleged benefits of 15-minute cities—the United Nations’ strategy to use digital surveillance technology to enforce SDG11 on the world.
Zha explains how convenient your government-restricted life will be and how you really won’t ever need to leave your 15-minute city compound. Like most multipolaristas, Zha makes no mention of the wall-to-wall facial recognition, digital ID checks, or technological oppression designed to keep people in their 15-minute city “compounds.”
At about the 29-minute mark, Zha briefly notes the “ubiquitous” Chinese smart-city surveillance cameras. He promotes them, saying how safe they make Chinese people feel.
This video from Zha is just one one among many similar reports he and Jerm Warfare have put out on UKC since early 2025. In other words, UKC is publishing pretty standard China-maxxing global governance propaganda quite regularly.
YMS Market Access Ltd. took its 20% stake in Akita Media Ltd. in January 2025. Carl Zha first appeared on UKC on 23rd January 2025. Jerm Warfare soon followed and was introduced to the UKC audience in May 2025.
Correlation is not causation, of course, but the suspicions are obviously valid. UKC’s offered rebuttal does nothing to assuage them. Moreover, UKC’s China-maxxing pro-global governance reports are worthy of criticism regardless of any possible financial inducement.
I’m not sure what UKC’s argument is. It is not really tenable for UKC to maintain that the sudden appearance of this kind of propaganda content on its platform doesn’t correlate with Janhke’s investment. Consequently it appears UKC is not arguing that point. Instead it has responded to personal spats and suggested the possibility of deep state plots against it.
I may be jumping the gun here. Via my Telegram channel, Vanessa Beeley informed me that UKC intends to offer a “total rebuttal of all spurious accusations made by [. . .] Ginsburg, Hughes etc.” Perhaps the rebuttal she refers to will be published by UKC in due course.
I don’t see why UKC would be bothered about criticism of its content. The bone of contention is clearly the widely aired suspicion that the new content may reflect the interest of investors.
As pointed out by Ursula Edgington, audiences and readers “seek out alternative, independent content-creators because they pursue and report truth.” UKC offers itself as the antidote to propaganda.
This is doubtless why UKC is hyper-sensitive to the allegation that it is financially compromised. I would be too. For any independent media journalist or outlet, accusation of undeclared paid content is not just a reputation killer it is potentially a means, as Edgington observes, to capture, exploit, demolish and hijack independent media. These are the “lessons” Ginsburg suggests the independent media needs to learn.
Those of us who work in the independent media need to be acutely aware of the risks of accepting large financial contributions from one donor. Especially foreign donors with questionable ties to outlets like the Rising Tides Foundation.
Again, David Hughes reported:
[T]he Foreign Agents Registration Act in the US and similar legislation such as the Foreign Influence Registration Scheme (FIRS) in the UK can be weaponised such that content creators can be accused of receiving support from “foreign agents,” that would be highly dangerous for any dissidents targeted. For example, non-compliance with the FIRS is punishable by up to two or five years in prison and/or fines, depending on whether the offence falls under the “political influence tier” or the “enhanced tier.”
With regard to the latest UKC rebuttal, on her own Telegram channel, UKC freelance presenter Vanessa Beeley wrote:
Sad times when independent media channels are forced to defend themselves against those who should be considered allies. Instead of focusing on the central enemy complex.
Beeley assumes all independent journalists agree on who or what the “central enemy complex” is. The call for unity with UKC is nonsensical when UKC appears to be putting out content that promotes what other independent media journalists consider to be the “central enemy complex.”
I don’t agree with virtually anything either Carl Zha or Jerm Warfare have recently argued or presented on UKC. I reject Beeley’s assertion that I must not publicly criticise the reports of other independent media journalists and outlets because I “should” consider them my “allies.” Casting other journalists as traitors to the cause, accusing them of not being “real journalists,” and questioning their principles and morality because they are critical—and have perhaps raised uncomfortable questions—is the argumentation of propagandists who wish to silence critics and shut down open debate.
I don’t care if they are in-house journalists for the Guardian or freelancers producing videos for UKC. If they are China-maxxing and suggesting that global governance is a good idea, they are not my allies, and I reserve the right to make any criticism I like.
It is deeply regrettable that those of us in the independent media who have raised concerns about the new direction of UKC content have perhaps allowed the debate to devolve into what must appear to readers to be an undignified “he said, she said” squabble. I take full responsibility for whatever part I may have played in giving that impression. All I can say is that is not my intention.
In one sense, Vanessa Beeley is right. The issues that we are discussing, the threats we all face, and the need to reach out to people who share the concerns expressed by many independent journalists are too important to be sidelined by petty quarrels, personal animosities, and unprofessional conduct. The independent media can and must, as a whole, do better.
My usual focus is typically on those much more important issues. But I felt this matter was of sufficient weight to warrant an article.
Exploring the evidence and providing readers access to evidence they might not otherwise encounter is why I am so passionate about what I do. My reach is very small, and that is why the information put out by bigger independent media platforms, like UKC, matters to me. I suggest it should matter to all who recognise that we face genuine existential threats. There is no chance that the mainstream media will ever report the truth.
We in the independent media don’t need universal agreement on every single subject. All we need is broad agreement that the current sociopolitical trajectory is towards dictatorship. We can each turn our journalism to exposing this unpalatable truth, and suggest whatever solutions we can, in our own ways.
Part of that collective effort has to include the freedom to criticise each other’s work respectfully. If evidence-based criticism from fellow independent media critics is rebutted with allegations that they are part of an “organized effort to destroy [us],” audiences will switch off and readers will look elsewhere. If that happens, the real independent media will vanish, leaving many people feeling unheard and isolated once again.

Carl Sagan appears to have hit the nail on the head here.
“I have a foreboding of an America in my children’s or grandchildren’s time — when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness…
The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance”
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark”
I got it. And I partially agree.
The case of this Marcel and the new direction of the column is clear (they also didn’t coast much and before, imo, and also was multipolar-maxxing). And there are hundreds more like them, and thousands of smaller ones (some of them informally funded, and you’re never see payslip; just like and cia and mossad do). Clear things.
The point is that they are lying about almost everything that you have clarified many times: that multipolar countries are better to their population, that they have not implemented the same covid policies, that they do not plan and already implementing the some technocracy, that they are not striving the same new order, etc.
And that this real or hypothethical international tension of Cold war type greatly helps them and serves as the basis for their internal transformations, all of which are moving towards very similar, almost identical goals.
So this show that “multipolar better”, Xi better, Putin better, is a lie, they are chasing the same goals as those of the Americans, and they are all first-class bandits for whom we are cattle, consumables, bioresources.
And it doesn’t show anything else.
Because the moment they sit down at the table opposite each other, all the fantasies of equal partners (who would implement a new order) evaporate like smoke, no one stands on an equal footing with American bandits.
The question is what the Americans wants (now mostly those with Jewish names, called Zionists for some reason, are in fashion). If they want plandemic – plandemic, “call Xi”.
“Dear Western partners!”, as Pussin says. If they want fake war – fake. They can pay so you can’t refuse.
But if their plans have changed, because they have decided and can afford it, and they want to remove you – you can conduct 4 or 44 years careful special operation, looking around, listening, negotiating when they told you, prepared for a desperate attempt to save yourself.. And what would that look like?
If the multipolar has shown anything so far, it is that it is more ridiculous than the funniest, existing only on a declaration. If they were in conflict wuth US (that is, under pressure from them) China and Russia would sign any declaration of global cooperation and whatever is need. They would trade as much as they can with everyone, because otherwise they are finished. Putin would sell oil and gas not only to Zelensky, but personally to Ursula, he would personally bring gas to Linsday Graham while he shouted in his face “To the tribunal!”
If they were in conflict with US, the real thug power in Russia and China would seek and implement the same technocracy locally and engage in any global technodytopian forms of cooperation with or without US.
And they would write the same silent declaration with zero real effect, challenging the hegemony of the US, directed at the minds of their own populations and of the local banana countries under their influence (“the awakening post-colonial developing world…” of the Brics declarations).
And they would have been just as obedient (as now) when the hegemon is against them (“because Saddam, Gadaffi…”).
If the ‘multilolar resistence’ has shown anything so far, it is idleness, subservienve and weakness; If this demonstration was the goal – it has been achieved.
Whether this is for a future turnaround and an era of ‘equal global governance’ from the dystopian UN charter – it can, but for now insted building a future without an overt hegemonic center, something else is in sight:
A growing wave of support and investment from – not only, but mostly – Jewish Zionist American rich, who loadly exalting in the media about the “new start-up state of Israel”, with more influence that ever before, stronger, stable and self-sufficient, with gigantic technological power that does not stop growing.
And alongside them – praising the technological capabilities that already allow the fullfilment of prophercies of Israel’s rise and world domination – rabbis (in the massmedia) says “the time is comming”, and in order for it to come, they explain, Rome and Jerusalem can’t reign together – in order for Jerusalem to rise, Rome must lose its dominion.
And today’s Rome – as they explain and as we all know – is Washington (officially – we ate not talking about puppeteers).
It seem as if – as and many influential Zio figures says freely in the media – the US and Europe, torn apart by ideological stuggles, intetnal unstability, and (mainly EU’s) economic problems (after someone takes care to elevate the liberal influence and infiltrate and divide the conservative space, and hamper economy) together with the increasengly weak (and silent about Israel) China and Russia together are losing strenght, and the “new-start-up” nation, furmly holding the standarts of the foundation, as the biological sex snd race, is becoming more and more ascending.
But the cornerstone, they say, is the “growing antisemitism” in US; America is headlong this road, they say, and it is not longer safe…
—
When you think about the belonging of a huge number of businessmans (including many technological), backers, Blackrock, Rotschilds, etc, etc… Creating “growing antisemitism” makes sense (who created it?).. Also the bad feelings toward Donald (because of ‘Israel first’, etc.)..
If we see Massey-Carlson winning couple and an official break with the US pro-zio, then where would many billionaires move with their businesses and investments?
(Would the status then change, would Rome fall? And the attitude of the new to the fallen center.)
Then many debatate and strange behaviors and phenomena would make sense. I dont know if it’s a plan, but, hey, hey, it looks like (but it doesn’t seem to bring a future with seeming decentralized multipolarity).
But it could be the multipolar UN scheme, I’ll wait to see the surprising twist.
Reply from Vanessa Beeley, hosted by the unfunny Jerm:
thought Vanessa Beeley spoke very well and there was little she said that I disagreed with. I don’t have the same Zionist focus as Vanessa, though I agree it is a very powerful influence. What struck me was her appeal to find common ground and that there is clearly a misunderstanding with regards to the arguments some of us are making about multipolarity. Personally I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with her if she is interested.
I hope it happens.
A very interesting discussion and she made some very important points. Namely, the ” they are in it together ” crew neither research and investigate the area of contention or are willing to have a face to face open discussion relating to the helter skelter of accusations being flung out like a catherine wheel .
You didn’t read my comment above then?
I have only just read your comment so I apologise for my late reply.
Vanessa pointed out that ” ..crew neither research and investigate the area of contention..” Do you agree or disagree on this point ?
Moreover, would it not be courteous to at least let UK Column put their side of the argument on this site since I have not seen any evidence of it so far.
Here are their rebuttals to the accusations made by the way !
The Debi Evans and Sandi Adams Allegations: A Rebuttal | UKColumn
Claims Made by Sandi Adams about Charles Malet | UKColumn
I’m utterly disgusted at Scotland’s women’s national football team, which are currently playing back to back football matches against the Zio-Monsters – who are committing genocide – the games are being played behind closed doors in Hungary to protect the Israeli women’s players so says UEFA.
Putting the above aside NO national football team should be playing in this years World Cup – the USA is complicit in genocide in Gaza as is Canada – two of the three hosts Mexico making up the third host nation – what the f*ck is wrong with UEFA it gave Trump a f*ckin medal which contradicts UEFA’s rules on remaining neutral – Israel is committing genocide yet Gianni Infantino, UEFA president – has allowed them to to play in international games – meanwhile the complicit in genocide USA, has barred Iran’s players from America unless the team plays its games that day – so Iran’s football team has to fly in from Mexico to the States to play its game on that day.
But I digress, NO team should be playing in this years World Cup- for as I’ve stated above two of the three hosts are complicit in genocide as are several nations football teams such as England and Germany.
Agree with you completely on this… I saw a clip last night of Albania playing Israel in a friendly game and the Albanian fans were throwing shoes at the Israeli players. How the feck are they still competing in international football games, Eurovision and other things. Are all these officials bought off? Are they all Zionist shills? It’s just legitimising these mass murdering pyschopaths and ignoring the genocide, war crimes and ethnic cleansing committed by Izrahell. They just carry on with their barbarity and depraved inhumanity with complete impunity and are treated like a “normal nation”. But god forbid you speak out about this because then you are guilty of anti semitism and Jew hatred. Remember how Apartheid South Africa was fully boycotted? And yes, I know that until the United States and United Kingdom and Australia and others stop sending Izrahell billions of dollars, weapons and so on, nothing will change sadly. Soon we are all going to be Palestinians.
Neither Australia nor the UK send aid to Israel, either financial or military. I have to assume the rest of what you say is totally inaccurate too. Nice try “Gezzah”
First of there is no UK.
Secondly the English PM has used English spy planes in Cyprus to collect bombing data for Zio-Monster bombing raids on civilians – at last count it was around £18 million of taxpayers cash used.
I should’ve added – that I’ve absolutely no doubts that the English terrorist outfit the SAS have been in Iran in some capacity
Whatever… “Tom”. I never said anywhere that the UK and Australia sent Israel “aid”. Perhaps brush up on your English reading skills bud. It may prevent you misunderstanding basic sentences in the future.
Well we don’t know or sure if England and Australia sent aid to the Zio-Monsters or not – we know that England has a permanent defence pact with Israel, and we know that via Declassified that the UK has sent military parts to Israel.
This from (2025).
“The Ministry of Defence has confirmed that members of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are currently undergoing training on UK-based military courses as part of routine international defence engagement.The confirmation came in response to a written parliamentary question from Rachael Maskell MP, who asked when Israeli forces were last trained by UK personnel.”
And
According to this the Aussie are helping out the Zio-Monsters.
Is the government of Australia helping fund Israel
you know for sure, you know for sure. Sure sure sure. I think I’ll leave this little JewHate society and let you boys have at it. Nice day 🙂
This is what you said.
I know that until the United States and United Kingdom and Australia and others stop sending Izrahell billions of dollars, weapons and so on, nothing will change sadly.
That is Aid. Financial Aid and military aid. Don’t try and use semantics to wriggle out of what you claimed, you were wrong and now you’re just digging a deeper hole for yourself. Hatred of the jews is what has brought the Arab nations to their knees. They can’t think straight now, they are totally ineffective against a tiny little nation of 10 million. Pathetic!
The English parliament (Westminster) is now in bed with the USA’s Big Pharma – to the detriment of us all.
Campaigners file legal challenge to ‘unlawful powergrab’ over NHS drug price controls – Canary
When reading this article, I remembered having heard the name Marcel Jahnke before. So I checked my archive to find that something strange had happened to german alternative filmmaker Robert Cibis in 2020, which involved a guy named Marcel Jahnke.
This is at least what I’ve read in an article of Swiss independent media outlet Transition News of January 6, 2025 (in german): https://transition-news.org/doku-reihe-corona-film-die-horror-odyssee-eines-filmemachers. It also has a link to an interview with Robert Cibis in it.
The things described there are strange indeed and suggest Marcel Jahnke might be a figure of secret services’ fight against alternative media …
We’re in line for this – on top of whatever else those surveillance/data centres are for.
“Data centres use PFAS, “forever chemicals”, in cooling systems and fire suppression. In 2024, the EPA determined there is no safe level of exposure to PFAS. Some are classified as carcinogenic by the WHO. They are linked to kidney and testicular cancers, thyroid disease, immune disruption. They do not break down. There is no specific PFAS standard in UK Water Quality Regulations. Operators are not required to register with a regulator. There is no mandatory water use reporting for data centres
I said in December 2023 that cancer water, sewage outflows, collapsing councils, and Brexit deregulation were all by design to install private governance. The EU cleaned our beaches and rivers over fifty years. Brexit undid the enforcement in four. Now PFAS from data centres is entering groundwater in areas with no regulatory framework to stop it, in zones explicitly designed for “regulatory experimentation,” while the UK government refuses to sign international safety agreements. Know your enemy. The design is visible at the molecular level.”

After a rather disturbing incident early this year involving Jerm Warfare on his Telegram channel that I had subscribed to, and discovering first hand that certain subjects were verboten with him, where he repeatedly deleted comments myself and others made on one of his posts, and then threatened to block us if we tried to continue posting (about geoengineering and chemtrails) so suffice to say, I unsubscribed from him, and I won’t listen to him again. As far as certain figures in supposed “alternative media” pushing the multipolar narrative, I’ve wiped them as well… especially those who allegedly received paid trips to visit Russia and China and seem to have nothing bad to say about those countries. But at the end of the day when it comes to even the “alternative media” who can you still trust? For instance, during convid, we saw a long list of supposedly anti establishment sites and individuals suddenly become full on cheerleaders of the covid narrative being pushed by the very establishment those sites claimed to oppose. Or others who claimed to be “socialist” suddenly become deaf, dumb and mute, and maintained a deafening silence about the tyranny going on in the name of “health”. For the record, I haven’t watched UK Column for over 3 years at least. No specific reason, I just drifted away from them and started visiting other sites.
Multipolarity is the opposite of Globalist Technocracy IF data are stored nationally and protected. Patriotism will see to that.
I agree that UKC was one of the few outlets for anti-Covid discussions back when we were all out on a limb in the weird jungle of the non-compliant. I don’t watch it now but I still go back to check their yellow-card data on covid vaccine side-effects as people around me are beginning to suffer the consequences of being multiply jabbed. Occasionally they used to highlight stories that the MSM barely touched on, one being the tragic imprisonment of Wilfred Wong who had done a lot online to expose satanic ritual abuse and was mixed up in a case which appears to have been the rescue of a child from an abusive parent which resulted in 4 people being imprisoned, one of whom later committed suicide. If anyone knows anything about what happened to him, I’d be very interested to hear – I’m guessing he’s still in prison but was there an appeal? It seemed like a horrific miscarriage of justice – but hey that’s everyday mainstream news nowadays.
You dont just kidnap a child and transfer her to England just like that. Why didnt he just alarmed the Authorities and presented his proof?
Only public Authorities are allowed to handle things like that as cool heads should judge a case like this.
If Authorities fails, ok then heavy responsibility lies on their shoulder.
But the police and the justice system (as was evident in the Dutroux case in Belgium) are often implicated in SRA, so how can you get justice? And is it kidnapping if one parent who is worried about the abuse of their child attempts to take them to a place of safety? Wouldn’t any right-minded person do the same?
You place far too much trust in government, they have proved beyond doubt that they cannot be trusted, with anything!
Just as an aside, every time I hear or read about something keeping us “safe”, such as lockdowns, masks, injectables, surveillance, or foreign fought wars, etc., I want to throw up.
Uk column helped me wake from a dream in 2020,
thanks for that,
Controlled op though.
Iain thinks we are on a spinning globe and space is real, how to argue with that mind set ?
Iain Davis is right when he says that.
It’s you crazy ‘flat-earthers’ who are in the wrong.
Yes, quite right, I should have said still believes we are on a spinning ball, like I used to after a lifetime of indoctrination.
Anyhoo, since I’m on the pending naughty step I don’t get to hear if my comments get through the same day, usually several, so don’t post much now, you will be glad to hear.
Terrific article Iain.
I was recently served up a steaming plate of Jerm Warfare while on my commute home, and felt myself getting dumber by the second, the longer the program continued. The reason I persevered for as long as I did, was explicitly due to the quality of the guest – OG’s very own Tod Hayden. To better qualify my disdain for the program, I’d have to watch/listen to the program again, but I’ll not be doing this anytime soon. If I recall, my point of contention involved the host’s assertion that morality was a religious construct – a notion which I find robs the human being of intellectual agency and only feeds insane religious/cultural balkanization. Perhaps I’ll revisit the OG comment section for that particular episode to find commiseration….
The religious construct should be seen integrated in the human being from the start.
It is the refugee from our own inner divine self that destroy it.
But I know that people who repeat the ideological anger against the religious are unable to grab it.
Just a little correction and too sad not many enjoy the pleasures of being there.
Never heard of UKC, so interesting. I checked out articles and very radical for a corporate traded entity. But being constructed around in “ownership” issues itself is a problem. These entities should be collectives that are self-organized, self-funded and outside elite “help” of any kind. That GR content is being promoted, unambiguous totalitarianism, in direct contravention to an anti-totalitarian, anti-authoritarian base, is evidence front and center of a compromised editorial stance. It’s obvious. We don’t have anything in the US like UKC other than possibly The Intercept, which has gone through it’s member realization of corporate editorial control, and founding journalists have gone their own way.
To resolve the controversy, one would suggest UK Column contact China researcher Mr. Larry Romanoff and arranging for an in-depth discussion; Romanoff’s substantial expertise, particularly his extensive knowledge on China affairs, will go a long way toward clarifying the issues and effectively straightening the ship.
See: https://onenessofhumanity.wordpress.com/2020/04/09/taboo-2020-covert-biological-warfare-and-covid-19-earth-lockdown/
Larry Romanoff not only specialises on China but also has lived there for many years reporting first hand what he observes.
It is always notable that he usually concentrate on one paricular area with an indepth research supported by plenty of documented evidence rather than akin to a wide shallow lake approach!
Currently, the US, is actively encircling China with US proxies (e g Japan, Philippines, Taiwan, etc.). By attacking Iran and ensuring disruptions in oil/gas supplies, they are trying to weaken China – their main rival, along with Russia to a lesser extent.
US control of media also promotes China propaganda. No doubt China also promotes US propaganda. Trying to see the big picture from my computer screen isn’t easy.
My favourite independent journalist on US/China affairs is Brian Berletic:

For independent comment on China I listen to Dr Warwick Powell, one parent Aussie and the other Chinese. He lives in Australia.

I’m still a subscriber to UKColumn but don’t watch the Germ videos. I do admire the work of Vanessa Beeley and will continue to support UKColumn.
I agree in the sense that UK Column had some of the best output going during Covid. Giving credence to the medical establishment (viruses after all might have some form of physical validity, given the existence of electron microscopes) whilst questioning the official narrative as potentially indicative of a financial scam. That seemed the best approach to the whole Covid saga and still does.
That said, subsequently an indiscriminately pro-Russian and an anti-Israel perspective subsequently emerged within the UKC coverage. A pro-China and pro-MWO position being essentially a natural corollary of such a perspective.
The growing suggestion that to be ‘alternative’ meant to be indiscriminately pro-Russia (or rather pro Russia’s support of Arab States in the Middle East), an evolutionist, anti-Israel or at least one of the above, seems a far cry from the small guy questioning the bigger narrative. And I say that as someone who’s lived in Russia and is Christian, not a follower of Judaism per se.
Yet I’d disagree in that ‘alternative’ should be redefined to simply mean that every event like Manchester Arena, Henry Nowak or assertions of a multipolar world order are all CGI productions. That seems an equally misguided route to go down.
Keep a bit of realism while questioning the narrative still seems the best approach imho
I became a subscriber to UKC in 2020 and very much enjoyed and welcomed its coverage of all the things I too believed were going wrong in the world (technocratic fascism and all the mosaic of linked topics that make up that bigger picture). Over the last 18 months I haven’t tuned in much however and have never heard any of the coverage by the two contributors mentioned as “China-maxing”. I have however felt that whenever I did listen I had often already heard or read the same ‘news’ elsewhere. Hence not tuning in as often. Also I missed some of the presenters who had previously contributed and wasn’t as ken on the new intake (can’t put my finger on why). I agree that independent journalists should be able to criticise each other (respectfully) otherwise free speech doesn’t exist in this sphere either. I found your piece to be very balanced Iain.
I wrote today to one of the core themes of such a factionalism in a comment to unbecoming’s summarising of a folk-medicine protocol on Substack.
https://unbekoming.substack.com/p/arthritis-and-folk-medicine-1960
In itself it represents another way of understanding imbalances that can lead to or attract sickness. My comment was to a recognition that we are meeting so many contradictory claims as a result or a ‘re-education’, which can undermine the willingness to research or polarise to factions of vested and polarised identity.
My context was of the rising of divergent and contradictory views as a result of the fading credibility and allegiance to a Medical (sic) monopolism that runs a hack and hijack under centrally controlled definitions and protocols running as regulatory capture.
My call for fluid balance points of a discernment within life and the living is not a variant structure for the operation of systemic control, but the re-integration of structure or systems to a truly open dialogue or relational honesty – which can not be defined or set as a or The structure.
If anyone resonates with the gist of my focus, the comment is beneath the link above.
I received the email from UK Column on the internal divisions – though I haven’t maintained an active focus in their output, partly as I am not there target audience, nor does it resonate to the unfolding edge of a more embracing perspective, that I associate with healing, gratitude for being and a grounded awareness in the day thereof.
But I picked up on something that I also found in the stand in the park community and find in the human psyche—and this is the setting of self worth or social virtue on hates that must find a target. I’ll call them perceived evils. Countermeasure framed as war on evil runs as morally self-justified attack or denial. It hate or bending of truth doesn’t count as such because it is sanctified by its cause and set by a goal, that persist or projects the evil it hates in novel forms of ‘solutions’ – that may allow a ‘honeymoon period’ of be-living we have ‘escaped’ evil (limitations running as looping conflicts of action-reaction) before the dream fades – or pops – to reveal the nightmare it overmasked – but set in the new arena of the ‘solution’ – thus the Call to War On Evil – as the ‘germ’ or the pharma-hesitancy of anything that undermines the ‘war effort’.
Fixation on evil runs a carrion crow mentality not unlike the ‘Inquisitor’ who projects the sins they seek to gain confession for on their target.
I don’t see any ‘sides’ that are free of the liabilities of our human conditioning. Nor do I see that accusing others as traitors or controlled opposition serves anything BUT a witless captive opposition. There are those I don’t hold as credible witnesses, as well as those with blind spots or compartmentalised perspectives. I don’t claim to be free of the latter, but I watch my mind and emotion – in the act of writing or speaking, so as to pick up on it and nip it in the bud. I cant speak for anyone else, but others are free to alight in what they resonate with – or engage with what they don’t – as they will.
Siding with Life and the living cannot run from judgements that stamp out dead concepts, though there may be a baby in the bathwater of judgements that can be joined with to bring out or redeem a truth that can be felt and share in.
I am free to explore and experience life in my own way, and that includes freedom to make mistakes, that may run to vested self illusions set against my own true interest and belonging. If I want freedom to judge others for what I hate in myself, I will mistake tyranny for an illusion of freedom.
Addressing the issues or themes that underlie conflicts can open awareness when accusing the person, will surely close it down.
But perhaps beneath the mask of wishful virtue reinforcement, that is the active purpose; suppressing or limiting awareness of conflicted dissonance as a personal temporary solution. Make the bad thing go away!
Approaching those with susceptibility to being triggered, so as to find and grow trust instead of reinforcing learned patterns of distrust, defence and conflict calls for something like the ‘nonviolent communication’ approach. But without a grounded awareness and focus, the mimicking of this is impotent and obstructive. But if we don’t venture to find a way, we don’t grow in the fruits of the way.
There is no formula or method or structure for love, but that we abide WITH a situation to the point of truth revealing. True with-ness is a felt quality that cannot be codified, though
it may be invoked by aligned dedication.
That our world has been or is framed in a culture of conceptual judgements that run as a Social order of codified systems is overmasked by presented and conflicting opinions that offer a sense of vicarious freedom.
I don’t know enough of UK Column’s situation to comment, but funding does affect decision making, and does not have to tell others what to do to do so, though it can drop suggestions in ways that the funded are then ‘free’ to follow as part of enjoying the support that gives a sense of greater freedom.
People who cant or wont relate or communicate honourably can and will undermine the integrity and functionality of the group, family, organisation. Self-inclusion is the basis for an aspirational culture, not forced inclusion. Those who demonstrate willingness deserve support in growing their abilities and sphere of responsibility, but not a co-optive management or control.
How could it be otherwise but that we are ‘learning by our mistakes’. But I see that as a culture of willingness, not a cult of correctness.
Any freedom to think outside of the box of ‘love and hate’ is essentially a privilege. If you’ve been allowed a sustained sense of that, then I would guess then just be thankful. More than most gain a glimpse of
The box of special hate is masked over by special love. As is evident when such love ‘turns to hate’ when its terms and conditions are not met.
The real choice is of living thought or fear framed thinking, that plays both sides of conflicts that effectively block and substitute love’s function with an idol of specialness demanding sacrifice.
The shift of awareness from fear to love requires some willingness, for love will not be forced against your will. Thus it requires at least an instant of willingness for releasing the mind of ‘thinking’. Not a wish to do so or attempt to force an outcome.
Is it a privilege to exist?
Is awareness of being a gift we recognise by extending or sharing it?
The thing about ‘thinking’ in the dark is that it was easy to see the light switch when the light was on. But the hiding the light as a private mind-creation makes it impossible to find in the ‘dark’ You have to be willing to ask. The movement of such desire is within our being, but is has been locked down and lockstepped by a mind of denial that believes it is your self protection.
Regardless the ‘how’ – can you want the light of love to find you where you are, not where you might wish or put forth as terms and conditions to be met first?
Receiving love in truth is not an achievement nor any special deserving, and nor is love what thinking thinks it is or does.
Freedom is in your being not in the world we judge separate and separately.
The truth of being is not edited or affected by lies given power, but our capacity to recognize and accept IS adulterated and blocked by accepting and giving priority to something ‘else’.
Those asleep in such ‘thinking’ have a true blessing they have yet to recognise and share in. They may seem poor in Spirit, but that is by the measure of their giving. Love is beyond measure, and so willingness to recognise and receive of another will give all to all, The mind wont see this but the heart knows and this will shift awareness to the seat of the heart in place of running a head.
That the mind seeks to regain control is simply the attention you give it.
I’m not telling anyone what to do, but what we are doing is already active as habit-thinking running dark or ‘sub conscious’.
The freedom to look within or behold, is the nature and grace of our being, and our privilege to extend it, by letting it naturally extend through us as an unselfconscious willing awareness. Absent coercion.
Everyone was told to love China, until they were told to hate them. I remember that if you said the Chinese made garbage you’d be shouted down,
“They are just like the Japan was in the 1960’s” Blah Blah Blah.
I was banned from a forum once because I mentioned that many factories were staffed by illiterate “Chinee” people who a week before were working in a rice paddy.
Now you can say what you like because they are part of the axis of Evil and the fact that they make garbage is irrelevant since everyone accepts the fact a toaster and kettle only lasts 3 years. That’s the scary part! People have forgotten what quality goods actually were.
Its cheap. That is what matters! Why pay $200 for a kettle when you can buy one for $2? That has always been my life philosophy since I was born.
China has empathy for the little poor man like me, and you have only respect for multi-billionaires!
I’m sorry that you’re poor, but you’re life mistakes don’t validate anything Ok. You’re ten dollar toaster is making a Chinese Billionaire richer by increment and soon he’ll move his family there and exploit you directly. His children will be your doctors, will be running your local supermarket and influencing your local council.
Buying cheap is false economy. You’ll pay more in the long run than if you just bought a decent product that lasts and lasts.
The problem for the independent media is that it’s spread across a million distinct websites, none of which gets much attention from the public. Stupid Cat and stupid AI videos on YT get vastly more attention than any place like this. The dull cow herd are simply not interested in intelligent news that may effect their lives. But that’s ok, someone has to take the hit as the global economy collapses.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has one of the largest social media footprints in the world, with a combined total of over 500 million followers.
500 million people hanging off every word an actor tweets, buying whatever he markets. How intelligent do we think he actually is, living up there in his ivory tower? That’s where peoples minds are in this current age 😜
So, we’re stuck between a Rock and precipitous cliff.
The problem is not an influencer’s intelligence or knowledge. Such people promote what they are paid to.
You make it sound like he has no choice in what he promotes? He’s just a big walking Ego basically and he doesn’t care one whit for his followers. If he did he wouldn’t sell them out to the highest bidder.
The problem? It’s only for the great mass of people who slavishly follow the influencer. They will learn nothing of value and many will be struggling to put food on the table and pay the electricity bill. But they’ll be his ‘friend’ lol lol
That was a good read, thank you.
I found and followed UKC during all the lockdown excitement, a time during which voices of reason were hard to come by. Coming into 2024 my attention was mostly elsewhere and I had become only a very occasional viewer. At some point during 2025 I was reminded of UKC’s existence and decided to check in on them to get their take on the current sanctioned reality.
Although it may have stemmed from a passing comment rather than being the main topic under discussion, one of the presenters expressed a neutral position on the matter in hand (the only opinion that was expressed) because nobody had yet presented him with sufficient evidence that the activities in question were actually happening.Thought-terminating cliche, invincible ignorance or, for lack of any more sophisticated and clever sounding words, shite – as an adult of not insignificant years the introductory evidence should have been provided by his own lived experience in contrast with current observations.I gave up on UKC in that moment; I don’t need drive-by invincible ignorami clogging up my ‘limited bandwidth’.
A nest of secret squirrels should be considered a red herring, but one secret squirrel? That’s more than enough.
My periods of glancing at UKColumn go back further than yours. I was an early audience of Sept 11 conspiracy talk. At that time I remember Brian Gerrish being very exercised by the Common Purpose infiltration of our public bodies, which I guess was no bad thing, but it did seem rather small beer compared to our great ally blowing up 3,000 of it’s own citizens to excuse some later day imperialism. Later I saw the Scottish engineer chap (forget name) state demolition as a bald fact (phew, thanks!) and Mr Gerrish leaning somewhat to the view that “some people now had doubts about the official version of events”. Gosh doubts, really!?
I’ve always liked Vanessa Beeley as someone that could be trusted and David Hughes contributed to the excellent work on the trans humanist agenda which was featured here. How confusing seeing them on different sides of an argument!
There does seem a strong ex-intel connection at UKColumn; or should that just be plain intel? I believe Richard Hall’s look at the Manchester bombings was greatly disliked by Mr Gerrish. Perhaps our government’s false flags should be allowed to proceed unhindered if no body really gets hurt in their fake events eh? Someone has to sway opinion and lead the opposition after all 🙂
It seems you are just as thin skinned as the globalists, I see no reason why you banned me from your tg channel. If discussion is impossible, then the outcome is inevitable.
What outcome? Loneliness? Poverty? Going on a postal and getting shot to death by the police? The only “Revolution” will between the citizens, like we’ve seen in the LA riots or the current English grooming culture. The people fighting themselves not the elites.
I don’t know what monkey “moderates” his tg channel but it is in his name and to exclude people is childish
Same do the globalists
You are so wrong about China.
But if you aren’t in business, you might not see it.
China’s tentacles of power are almost as long as the other entity’s tentacles, controlling what we thought were our governments. A case in point:
China has sharply warned Germany over its statements on Taiwan, stating that Berlin must adhere to the One China principle – any crossing of the „red line“ on the Taiwan issue will inevitably have consequences. (Uncutnews.ch)
Both lapdogs Germany and Japan are trying to please the master at any cost.
Unfortunately, yes. Germany has more than one master though.
If I was still in business -retired now- I doubt I’d find myself importing cheap Chinese rubbish just to make a profit off my fellow man. I know most do it, and I can’t blame them, but they have abandoned their civic responsibilities in pursuit of the Holy Dollar.
To paraphrase JHK, the people of America -and elsewhere- allowed Wallmart to set up in their cities and towns and destroy their communities. All because they wanted a $5 hairdryer.
This seems the eternal problem with funding. Wouldn’t it be great if we could create money out of nothing?
Like banks do!!!
King Midas regretted.
I used to follow UKC quite closely I even subscribed to the print edition. I have not visited for quite a while but a couple of weeks ago I followed a link from OG which led me to a Jerm Warfare interview; garbage.
Jerm Warfare has some good interviews, but that is purely down to who he has on and his ability to shut up and let them talk. However, lately there have been some real characters on there, often spouting nonsense. Jerm himself is also not a smart man.
Jeffrey Epstein probably has a Data Center all to himself, because his
“Epstein File” is comprised of ’email chains, text messages, Interest
Investigative Reports, bank statements, wire transfer records, flight logs,
and FBI Interview Summaries (“The Files” also encompass 2000 videos,
and 180,000 images)’…
I most likely will have to share a Data Center with many others because,
aside from the occasional comment i offer on 0ff-g there’s very little other
data about me THEY could have hoovered-up…
But then again, as it’s evident they Scrape The Bottom Of The Barrel
hoping to find Some Dirt, Any Dirt, …….
Lots of nice, well-meaning liberal people don’t want to think about Epstein because it is icky. And so there he goes down the memory hole, and the greatest crime of our age is disappeared by nice people’s sensibilities.
What makes fools of most people is that they’re not as intelligent as they
think they are…They cant be convinced they’ve been fooled – because they
cant admit to themselves they’re not as smart as they think they are…
(Not Mark Twain)…
Simply, people make fools of themselves because they think they’re too smart
to be fooled… Such emotional investment makes them impervious to
acknowledging they have been fooled…
Ego-driven people can’t ever change their minds, intelligent ones and not-so-intelligent ones.
Sounds more like a clusterfuck than a conundrum. As someone who started with internet based alternative “independent” media around 1998, I specifically remember all the talk about how it was going to greatly change political activism and democracy. This was our ticket, man, to take the motherfuckers down. I just did a quick search about it and sure enough, you can find all sorts of articles, discussions, papers, etc., from that time period to 2008 or so discussing that issue. Then it kind of died down, and here we are, dazed and confused. It’s like the old movie, On the Waterfront, when Marlon Brando said, “I could have been a contender”.
Granted, it’s not that simple and in the scheme of things, 25 years or so isn’t a long time, but on the other hand, just about everything has gone from bad to worse in that time and about the only major push from the people was Occupy Wall Street 2011, which ended like a limp noodle. A compromised limp noodle, which it was from the start. So that promise held has turned to shit evidently. Who knows, maybe there will be a turning point. I like to keep hope alive, but we are so between a rock and a hard place it’s hard to fucking breath.
If the so called independent media is going to have any impact on our freedom, imo, the solution thing needs to become front and center, and like, seriously. Like Iain says, “Why does any of this stuff matter when we are all facing a rapidly emerging digital dictatorship? I’ve felt for some time that we collectively know enough, the cat is out of the bag, and the problem is obvious. We’re just nitpicking now. The “unpalatable truth” has been exposed, man. It was exposed 100 fucking years ago. They knew about the Rothschilds and Rockefellers and all that way back when. Hell, Socrates wrote about oligarchy. The 64,000-dollar question is what the fuck are we going to do about it. As ever,
I felt the same frustration and then I realised this is something we can’t win in the earthly fleshly sense. Yes I’m a Christian, but I do believe that Evil/The Adversary can ONLY be overcome by Christ as proclaimed in the Bible. It’s Gods vengeance, not ours.
‘Dazed and confused’?

Kind of makes you think we don’t know shit compared to what they used to know.
Yeah, I reckon the Occupy Movement made the Turds at the top a little nervous.
That’s probably when they started planning the big pHarmer $cam.
It’s been high speed down the shit chute since.
Tolstoy called Kropotkin the ‘White Buddha’, and rightly so.
Like most countries, China is probably a reasonable place to live if you’re among the smug middle class, otherwise, it can be a bloody long struggle.
I know several working class Chinese Folks who have moved to aUStralia and they have no regrets.
No, not the smug middle class, nor the top of the pyramid officials are safe in China.

C’mon, Tom’s done the hard yards.
He deserves a thumbs up.
China technocracy is the way that China is able to out perform the west. The problem with transplanting that technocracy to the west is that the western governments are run by the oligarchs, the corporations etc. who want globalisation, not the development of individual nations; just look at the ridiculous immigration in the west.
In the east, the leaders of China know that their entire existence depends on China, so they have all their skin in that game; they are nationalists, they do not permit foreigners to run their country or to become Chinese. In the west, the leaders and their owners have no loyalty to their countries and are always ready to jump ship if things turn out too bad.
Dictatorship is not always bad, look what it did for Singapore and for China. The problem is not the technology, the problem is the motivation of the people wielding that technology.
If you want to be a slave, ruled by an unquestionable, dictatorial technocratic oligarchy, that is what Technocracy is specifically designed to deliver. There is nothing good about Technocracy, nor global governance for that matter.
The Farage effect.
I was a fan of UKC – watched every show for months during 2021 and early 2022.
.
Then in mid-2022 after the Ukraine ‘war’ had been front and centre for a few months I realised that they were selling multipolarity as a solution. They were using a technique known as demoralisation to chip away at the current system in the West by identifying and reinforcing its faillings to gain support for the multipolar NWO. (m-NWO)
UKC presenters and its editorial angle over the years constantly has shilled the multipolar world order, including inviting guests such as Vanessa Beeley, Patrick Henningsen and others to promote it even harder. Especially, the Russian angle of the m-NWO.
Akita Media is the trading name of UKC and was only set-up in January 2020, two months before the Plandemic really kicked off. It was during the Plandemic when UKC really came into the limelight and donations (monthly subscriptions) poured in creating a useful database of ‘anti-vax’ dissidents. I can’t find any info regarding its trading name prior to that date.
Why name it Akita?
Akita is a Japanese dog breed and a prefecture in Japan.
Strangely, Putin was gifted an Akita dog in Japan by the Akita prefecture government in 2011. What a coincidence that a media organisation who pushes the m-NWO names their trading company after a dog breed that Vlad owns.

I believe that UKC is not some genuine anti-establishment threat but is merely fulfilling a role in the bigger agenda. It is a limited hangout performing a sales and marketing role to a section of the mainly British public who are fed-up with Western imperialism and their governments in general.
Not forgetting from its team that Gerrish is ex-Royal Navy, Mallet is ex-police and British army and Alex Thompson is ex-GCHQ. All would have signed the Official Secrets Act and yet we are to believe that they all decided to go rogue and become dissidents. An unlikely bunch if ever I saw one.
UK Column – so good they named it twice: UK Colon & UK Shillum.
Yes these toxic ideological subversion techniques are extremely difficult to discover and when succeeded they are irreversible.
Brilliant of you that you had the ability to unplug it.
I myself discovered (after being exposed to it unknowingly) that my religious platform was the only defense which it couldnt penetrate.
Its a difficult terrain we are walking in everytime we see media.
UK just cannot let go of its imperial past. It is a wreck, but never tires of making more enemies.
The UK elite has to simultaneously portray the country as being in terminal decline to get us back into the Western European technate while the City of London continues to run the world.
It’s not easy for them, the poor dears. BTW the UK is remarkably free of “enemies” given its history. The Chinese, for example, should loathe the UK for the Opium Wars but don’t appear to.
Akita brough from somewhere old bonce and new (1/2 and now pending) answer to the carpet under the joy of being..
Jerm was on Telegram mocking those that believed China had social credit policies. He said that he visited the country and no Chinese he met were at all aware of such proposed limits to their freedom. It was just ignorant propaganda put about by those tinfoil types who always believed the worst about China. This was, I think, at least a year before Jerm joined UKC.
So are there social credit policies? Show us some evidence. I hear of this shit all the time from western sources but have never seen a shred of evidence, despite living in China.
What they do have are certain rules that will ban you from traveling by plane, high speed rail etc, if you have not paid your rates, your income tax etc; if you owe the government money. If you still owe money to the government, you will be blacklisted, but as soon as you pay that bill, within seconds you are allowed to travel again and this does not form a “record”, it does not impact your credit score.
In return for that tehnocracy, you get super-efficient medical systems etc that mean that you can see a doctor or a specialist the same day, get blood tests, excrement tests, etc etc completed within minutes, with the test results sent to your mobile. Get scans done within a day, get operations done the same week, almost as if you are in private medicine.
So yes, there are controls applied by the government, actually automatically applied by their huge computer systems, but what else would you expect from a first world nation?
How is that a “return” for technocracy ? I mean would you not improve doctors’ availablity to see patients by increasing the doctor/patient ratio. How does banning people from trains because they haven’t paid their taxes affect the health service in China ?
Whatever your answer to that question, your statement points towards a social credit system existing.
So, thanks for the info.
I saw a law page saying China has death penalty for resale of tax receipt. It really comes down the that. Communism cannot survive without comprehensive heavy taxations.
Surveillance state and taxation 24/7. There you have your social scorecard and behavioral system that you hear from Western people but you cannot see even you live there.
“I have not seen anything like social scorecard in China 😶 “.”We get soup every day 😀 “.
Yes, he can’t see the cage being built around him because it is a good cage with blood tests and excrement tests on demand.
I didn’t know Communism taxed people.
More than any.
China has no social credit system, you say, and then you describe China’s social credit system in some detail. The claim that China has no social credit system is ludicrous.
I have repeatedly written about the fact that the “only” difference between China’s social credit system and the one being rolled out everywhere else, is that China has published official guidance on how that system is supposed to operate. So, the Chinese government is at least more honest about it.

Specifically:
“The social credit system is an important component of the Socialist market economy system and the social governance system; [. . .] its foundation is a complete network covering the credit records of all members of society and the credit infrastructure; [. . .] its reward and punishment mechanisms are incentivizing trustworthiness and restricting untrustworthiness. [. . .] The establishment of a social credit system is an important foundation for comprehensively implementing the scientific viewpoint of development. [. . .] Accelerating and advancing the establishment of the social credit system is an important precondition for promoting the optimized allocation of resources.”
I don’t see how the Chinese government could be clearer, yet still there is this never ending claim that China has no social credit system.
How about listening to what Lin Jinyue, the guy credited with designing China’s social credit system, has to say about China’s social credit system (that doesn’t exist apparently):
https://rairfoundation.com/communist-social-credit-pioneer-brags-system-can-shut-down-grassroots-movements-video/
“I really hope that we will manage to export it in a capitalist country. [. . .] I believe that France should quickly adopt our system of social credit, to regulate their social movements. [. . .] If you had had the system of social credit, the Yellow Vests would never have been.”
No one thinks, or very few do, there are social credit systems in the US, the UK , or Canada, but there are and they have frequently been used. These Western nations are installing the same surveillance technology infrastructure as that pioneered in China, and Estonia, and elsewhere, precisely because these governments want to emulate the reach of the social credit system currently exemplified in China.
Technocracy is a complete “social governance system” based on “reward and punishment mechanisms [. . .] incentivizing trustworthiness and restricting untrustworthiness” to comprehensively implement “the scientific viewpoint of development” as a precondition to utterly controlling, from an untouchable unquestionable authoritarian centre, “the optimized allocation of resources” right down to the individual level. The system they have and are constructing in China, in other words. None of the centralised authoritarian control, the basis of Technocracy, is needed to deliver “super-efficient medical systems.”
It seems possible to me that the people who live in China, which is where these baseless denials supposedly come from, who keep saying China has no social credit system don’t know what a social credit system is and therefore imagine there is no social credit system in China while they are living in one. This might also go some way to explaining why some appear to think Technocracy is a good idea and everyone else living in rapidly emerging social credit systems around the world think they aren’t living in one either.

Very pertinent points les.
Good onya🙂
I’m not defending Jerm Warfare and I’ve never been to China so I know shit-all about this but: how do we know that China has a social credit system and how does it actually work?
The overt social credit policy is not national in China, it exists only in certain regions.
Listen to Carl Zah’s interview with Marcel Jahnke on Patreon (the first 5 minutes are available without an account). Mr. Jahnke has never felt more free than he did in China …

They, I understand, are hopping on the Nowak thing. Which is all a fake-job, if you really wanna know. Miri’s column implying as much is apparently suffering suppression: Henry Nowak is our George Floyd – by Miri AF
Don’t think we allowed to DISCUSS it ?
Yaxley Lennon was waiting for this.get ready he said speaking to the idiots.only a couple of weekends ago.maybe when it stops raining.
I agree with your take on this and not wanting to add fuel to any fire that might be smouldering but I would just like to report something I noticed a few weeks ago. First of all I watched on UKC a very interesting video of a conference with Patrick Heningson and Craig Murray (plus another guy) about the Salisbury “Novichoc” poisonings of the Skripals. It mainly dealt with the highly unlikely claims of the mainstream and government narratives. Then, a week or two later, there was another article about the Salisbury incident but this time it was basically a piece outlining the thoroughly dubious “official” story without critique or question. I read it expecting to eventually meet with some reasoned arguments against this official story but no, it was just a retelling of the offcial version of events mentioning Bellingcat the MI5 outfit, as a source. Very strange change of direction for the UKC I thought.
Of course Ginzberg is guilty. What was he called again?
A very interesting article with Marcel Janke in mind – Janke (according to this has bought his way into several Alt-Media Sites.
“In that context, Jahnke’s pumping of Chinese money into the “alt media” (via his Hong Kong-based companies) must be treated with suspicion, especially given that we do not know what his motives are, but we do know that they are not necessarily benign.”
Jeremy Nell, Marcel Jahnke, and China – Part 2
Aren’t they all interlinked?
David Hughes promote this “progressive and alternative” film here crying about our awful 1984 future, founded and paid by Oracle Films, Oracle owned by the well know Larry Ellison Zionist. https://dhughes.substack.com/p/the-agenda-their-vision-your-future
In which film, as far as I can remember, there was a clear emphasis on the vision of this terrible future in the variant that has spread in the conservative right-wing space:
a threat to biological sex and population growth (through trans policies; abortions etc), industrialization (grean deal), bodily integrity (mandatory vaccination; involuntary application, for example, of nanotech), freedom of speech (censorship) and freedom in general (digital ID, carbon credits…), and everything else.
That is, all threats applied violently or semi-violently or insidiously, that were delegated, promoted and partly carried (to show conservative people what horor would happen if they were fully deployed in the future) out by the liberal democrats.
And in response, under Trump 1, the deployment of an alt internet resistance network outside the control of the liberal establishment and its massmedia was launched. This was introduced through various innovative digital tools by venture capital startups (by Larry, and Thiel, Anderson/Horovitz, and many others) revolutionizing digital resestance capabilities.
Or to put it another way – expanding and enhancement human capabilities; certainly Human+, but even more – collectives of peoples+.
..And this was not just launched by venture capital innovators – many of the people themselves, employed in the IT sector, programmers, engineers etc., set abiut creating new and new tools, launching their new projects and companies (in some cases financed by the same venture capitalists, in others – by people though cryptocurrencies, in third.. )
And users enjoyed freedom like never before. Every mischiet of the Dems Cabal was rapidly brought to light, reprinted, and shared in thousand (and hundred of thousand small blogs) digital places; the cabal could not catch its breath. (And during the ‘stolen election’, the plandemic, this exploaded and expanded to a huge level.)
Just stick to the “Trump will save” and you are there – in the live network. But you may not mentonion Trump at all, or even be againts him/expose the savior psyop, or even but only be within the framework clearly defining the specific violent threats that the digital resistance of knowledge faces.
You can also independently use the available tools and platforms, or develop your own.
So now I have high hopes Hakim and Gabriel (born in the digital era) from the independence panel to help us stay online as much as possible to fight for freedom and for our children to grow up independent withow leaving the network.
I see it as the old same black spot of leftists ‘alternative media’.
The socialist’s eternal internal quarrel about money and who is the most do-gooder and who is getting more spotlight than the other .
To the case in question, I just take UKColumn as they are. Some times there have a pearl in between, some times their stuff are boring, saying ups and downs as we all have.
So their stuff got a little one sided toward China? Ok but dont forget we have a lot of people out there who think a totalitarian nanny state is a wonderful safe place.
“Someone takes care of me, I feel safe”.
If people dont like the stuff UKC send, dont look at it, stay the fok away. If you like the programme, stay and see it. It is really that easy.
Leave UKColumn in peace and let them do the job they think they have to do.
Stop treating the audience as children. We can think, we are adults.
‘Nanny’ is not an appropriate analogy.
Most Nannies love their grandchildren and wouldn’t do anything that could harm them.
How about Predator State?
Or even Stalker State?
