5d ago00:40:53Tap to summarizeIs the Iran-Israel conflict entering a new phase—or is the real battle only beginning?In this episode, Carl Zha analyzes the fragile ceasefire framework between the United States and Iran, Israel's continued military operations in southern Lebanon, and why the Strait of Hormuz has become one of the world's most important geopolitical pressure points.The conversation explores whether Washington can enforce agreements with its closest allies, why Iran views control of the Strait of Hormuz as its strongest source of leverage, and how the conflict could reshape power across the Middle East and beyond.Carl also discusses Trump's political calculations, the future of U.S. influence, the strategic objectives of Israel, sanctions, diplomacy, and the role ongoing negotiations could play in preventing a broader regional war.Topics Discussed • Why Israel continues military operations despite ceasefire announcements • Trump's diplomatic strategy and domestic political pressures • Iran's leverage through the Strait of Hormuz • Can diplomacy succeed while fighting continues? • The future of U.S.-Iran negotiations • Israel's long-term regional objectives • Why the global economy depends on Hormuz • The role of Western media in covering the conflict • Reconstruction, sanctions, and economic negotiations • Has American global dominance entered a new phase? ► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dj_69XOmMs&list=PLCobN2DevAuUX4reUDER9YL_wgcHrNiau► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://www.youtube.com/@ukcolumnofficial?sub_confirmation=1Follow #UKColumn on:► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news
Transcribe →Reconciling Nietzsche with Christianity | Jerm Warfare
5d ago00:58:10Tap to summarizeChris Waldburger argues that Nietzsche and Christianity can be reconciled — that Nietzsche's antagonism towards the faith is far more complex than the cartoon version of "God is dead, I am the Antichrist" suggests, and that a close reading reveals his thought actually opens a path back to a more genuine, robust Christianity.https://www.chriswaldburger.com► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dj_69XOmMs&list=PLCobN2DevAuUX4reUDER9YL_wgcHrNiau► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://www.youtube.com/@ukcolumnofficial?sub_confirmation=1Follow #UKColumn on:► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news

6d ago00:54:59Tap to summarizeP.D. Lawton argues that conflicts like Boko Haram are synthetic, Western-backed insurgencies designed to keep African states weak while corporations extract minerals cheaply — She cites the PMC Executive Outcomes, which routed Boko Haram in four weeks before it was dismissed so the insurgency could continue.She links this to a Kissinger-era destabilisation doctrine, flags the UK–Rwanda deal as to have funded Kagame's Congo operations, and sees hope in the Alliance of Sahelian States (Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger), where military governments reclaim their mineral wealth and infrastructure, to include a neglected continental railway project.https://africanagenda.net► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dj_69XOmMs&list=PLCobN2DevAuUX4reUDER9YL_wgcHrNiau► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://www.youtube.com/@ukcolumnofficial?sub_confirmation=1Follow #UKColumn on:► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news
Transcribe →Jeffrey Epstein: How Deep and Wide Does It Go (Part 2) | UK Column Interviews
6d ago01:17:20Tap to summarizeOn 13 June 2026, Common Knowledge Edinburgh hosted a conference that took place both online and in person called ‘Jeffrey Epstein: How Deep and Wide Does It Go?’ with two highly knowledgeable journalists on this topic: Sonia Poulton and Kirby Sommers.Common Knowledge Edinburgh was founded to bring people’s attention to truths that the mainstream media and other institutions were either ignoring or concealing. Areas that Common Knowledge Edinburgh have covered include health, politics, criminal activities, and other conspiracies.The Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy is one of the largest conspiracies that has come to the attention of the public since 2020. Epstein has gained recognition as a genuine conspiracy and has entered our culture as a motif of how power and corruption operate in the world. If we rely on the mainstream media, large parts of the Epstein conspiracy remain unreported.In Part 1, Sonia Poulton introduced her interest in the Epstein case, explained the background and some of the details that she has uncovered. Sonia has long been a public figure who has mined the hidden narratives and their authors to influence the world, whether as a print journalist, a documentary filmmaker, or a YouTube broadcaster on her popular show, Wake Up. Her work has brought new understanding to many, particularly her work on the Madeline McCann case and Diddy.In Part 2, author and investigative reporter Kirby Sommers, gave her talk. She has authored 24 books. She is a survivor of the cabal to which Jeffrey Epstein belonged—not of Epstein himself, but another member of this long-running ring. She writes a top-ten bestselling Substack newsletter and hosts a podcast. Her works include a memoir called The Billionaire’s Woman, Jeffrey Epstein Predator Spy, Ghislaine Maxwell: An Unauthorized Biography, and others. These can be found on her website.► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dj_69XOmMs&list=PLCobN2DevAuUX4reUDER9YL_wgcHrNiau► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://www.youtube.com/@ukcolumnofficial?sub_confirmation=1Follow #UKColumn on:► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news

Transcribe →Individualism is Destroying the West | Jerm Warfare
1w ago01:01:43Tap to summarizeJerm talks with Richard Storey — Catholic writer and author of The Uniqueness of Western Law — about the origins and decline of the West.Storey argues that European character was forged by Indo-European warrior culture, that the West rests on a Roman skeleton with Catholicism as its natural successor, and that "Judeo-Christian" is a dishonest label for what's really a Greco-Roman inheritance. He sees the Protestant Reformation as the moment shared corporate identity fractured into spiritual individualism — the seed of the hyper-individualism now eroding family and community — and framesmodern liberalism as a resurgence of Gnosticism.Throughout, he argues that "mammon" — money and technology — is the recurring death mechanism: empires grow wealthy, lose their martial virtues, and collapse into individualism.https://richardstorey.substack.com► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dj_69XOmMs&list=PLCobN2DevAuUX4reUDER9YL_wgcHrNiau► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://www.youtube.com/@ukcolumnofficial?sub_confirmation=1Follow #UKColumn on:► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news
