Simon Roche, of South African exit-strategy group Die Suidlanders, argues that apartheid was not purely an Afrikaner creation but grew out of British colonial segregation policies.He adds that the system was unsustainable, yet believes current socio-economic conditions in South Africa are actually worse than under apartheid.He also points to ongoing foreign interest in the country's natural resources, to suggest South Africa remains a strategically valuable pawn on the global stage.https://suidlanders.org► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live► [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://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficialFollow #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

On 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

Is that advantage now disappearing?In this episode, Carl Zha and Daniel Dumbrill examine how recent U.S. policies may now accelerate China's technological rise rather than slow it down. They discuss the Trump administration's approach to scientific research, the change in flow of global talent, and why more foreign researchers choose Chinese universities and companies.The conversation also explores the increased international success of Chinese manufacturers like ZXMoto and BYD, debates which surround AI, cybersecurity, and national security, and the broader geopolitical implications of U.S. foreign policy—from Xinjiang and economic development to the Middle East and the Iran conflict.Topics include:• Why foreign engineers increasingly choose China• BYD, ZXMoto, and the rise of Chinese manufacturing• Trump's science and technology policies• The change in global competition for talent• Anthropic, AI, and U.S. intelligence agencies• Cybersecurity and accusations against Chinese tech firms• China's western development strategy in Xinjiang and Tibet• The fentanyl debate and U.S.–China relations• Why some analysts believe Middle East conflicts benefit China's long-term strategy• The future of U.S.–China competition► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live► [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://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficialFollow #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

The social credit system and fintech ‘crises’ in China were not home-grown but, rather, engineered by Anglo-American institutions which also fuelled the 2008 U.S. financial crisis, argues Cynthia Chung.These global entities utilised Big Tech companies like Alibaba and Tencent to establish predatory lending practices before the Chinese government intervened to regulate these platforms.https://cynthiachung.substack.com/p/the-true-origins-of-chinas-social► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live► [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://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficialFollow #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

David Rasnick argues that HIV is a harmless passenger virus that does not cause AIDS. He says the entire HIV/AIDS paradigm is fundamentally wrong. AIDS does not behave like a contagious disease; its pattern does not match what you would expect from a single infectious agent as it spreads through a population. Instead, he points to the real causes of immune collapse to be recreational drugs, malnutrition, poverty, and poor living conditions—and, most controversially, the antiretroviral drugs themselves. Rasnick says they are toxic and cause the immune destruction they are supposed to treat.Basically, HIV/AIDS is a hoax.https://www.davidrasnick.com► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live► [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://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficialFollow #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

UK Column presents an exclusive report following Brian Gerrish’s visit to Reiner Fuellmich in prison.Over the last 20 years, Brian Gerrish has visited a number of people in prison. Some he believed to be innocent, and some he knew to be guilty. Whatever the crime or punishment, meeting a person in the austere setting of prison is a definitive experience. In a one-hour meeting, the presence of a visitor is light in the darkness, and time goes very quickly indeed. Alongside greetings and basic human interaction, there is little time for deep conversation. There is, however, enough time to look into the eyes of somebody you have never met and make an instinctive human assessment as to whether you trust them or not. Thanks to the dedicated work of supporters of Reiner Fuellmich, Brian was able to travel to Bremervörde, Germany, to visit Reiner in prison.Reiner was the man who created the Corona Investigative Committee and to whom Brian gave formal evidence about the UK Government's use of political applied behavioural psychology to induce fear into the UK population. The Government's objective: to instil greater compliance of vaccine uptake and lockdowns by increasing fear of Covid and the accompanying social backlash for those challenging the system. Brian's visit to Reiner in prison, coupled with extensive interaction with Reiner supporters, has facilitated this exclusive and extended UK Column report into Reiner Fuellmich. He is the man who supporters say ‘took a bullet’ to help save mankind.► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live► [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://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficialFollow #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

For years, Western policymakers insisted China should embrace globalisation, free markets, and competition. Now that China dominates electric vehicles, solar panels, batteries, robotics, AI, and manufacturing, many of those same voices now call China's success a global threat.In this episode, Carl Zha and Daniel Dumbrill react to a series of articles from The Atlantic, The Economist, Reuters, and prominent China commentators that claim China's manufacturing boom, AI development, industrial policy, and technological rise are dangerous for the world.Topics include:• Why Western media suddenly says "overcapacity" is bad • China's AI strategy vs Silicon Valley's profit model • The EV revolution and energy independence • China's industrial policy and manufacturing dominance • The politics behind "China bad" narratives • Noah Smith's criticism of China's economy • Why patents, innovation, and subsidies are misunderstood • The history behind today's trade wars • China's poverty alleviation and public approval • Why more young people now question Western narratives Does China really create a global crisis—or does the world simply struggle to adjust to a new economic reality?Watch the full discussion and decide for yourself.► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live► [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://bit.ly/ukcolumnofficialFollow #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
