As war propaganda ramps up across the UK mainstream media, Charles Malet and Brian Gerrish look at the way in which the Ministry of Defence exploits its own service personnel — particularly with videos like this . Later in the discussion, the tone changes to examine the alarming drop in morale aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln after the announcement that the aircraft carrier would return to San Diego...

The Chu–Han Contention takes another dramatic turn as Liu Bang appears to have the war firmly in his hands. After he breaks out of the Sichuan Basin and rapidly conquers the former Qin heartland, Liu Bang gathers an enormous coalition of forces. With the support of Han Xin, Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Chen Ping and a growing collection of regional rulers, his alliance eventually numbers hundreds of thou...

Jerm, Mike and Charles discuss technology's quiet costs. They weigh the ritual of mechanical watches against digital ones, challenge the "eight hours of sleep" myth, and consider how screens and artificial light disrupt health. They then turn to lighting itself, compare LED bulbs with incandescent ones, and flag the health worries and engineered obsolescence built into modern products. This widens...

In the first part of their conversation, Mark Playne, the founder of Not On The Beeb, traces his path from private grief to public activism—his mother's cancer diagnosis, the research binge that followed her death, and a family story about a great-grandparent's friendship with Rudolf Steiner. He touches on how he has used AI to expose censorship. He talks through the disputed crowd numbers from th...

In this conversation, Carl Zha joins Dr. David Oualaalou to examine China’s economic, military, and diplomatic influence, and what it means for the future of U.S. power. The discussion begins with China’s successful military exports, particularly the J-10C fighter jet. After Pakistan’s use of Chinese aircraft in its conflict with India, countries that surround India now look toward Chinese weapons...

Forensic scientist David Klatzow breaks down the Oscar Pistorius case. He covers the shooting of Reeva Steenkamp, police errors that marred the investigation, legal wrangling over intent, and the recklessness and self-defence that decided the verdict. Klatzow draws on forensic evidence. He examines the acoustics of the scene and criticises how cross-examination and media hype shaped public percept...

Oliver Janich, once a mainstream journalist, questions official narratives on science, COVID-19, and the Bible. He offers a new reading of Yahweh and the Elohim: Yahweh is not the ultimate God but one of many inter-dimensional beings. He also re-examines Jesus, the Trinity, and Satan in the Old Testament. The conversation turns to the spiritual heart of Jesus's teachings, empathy and love. Janich...

Carys is one of thousands of mothers in the UK who have had a child stolen by the State. Her daughter was taken on the basis of a false psychiatric report made against Carys when she was a child. Despite clear evidence which demonstrates the report was false, that the psychiatrist struck off, and Carys has raised another happy, healthy child, Carys is still denied contact with her daughter after y...

Carl Zha joins Jamarl Thomas for a wide-ranging discussion on the Iran war, China’s energy strategy, the weakened U.S. financial system, BRICS, India-China relations, AI competition, and the growing consequences of Washington’s sanctions strategy. The conversation begins with the devastating glacial disaster on the China-Nepal border before it turns to the geopolitical consequences of the crisis i...

Jerm and Right Said Fred discuss how COVID-19 shattered public trust in mainstream media, which leaves us in a low-trust society. They explore the decline of free speech, the hypocrisy of pop and punk icons who champion rebellion yet fall silent when it matters, and how social media algorithms and censorship shape what we see and hear. They also touch on musicians who take political stances, share...

John Leake on how fear runs the world. Since Covid, John has tracked what he calls "mind viruses," irrational ideas that spread faster than any bug. The state knows exactly how to weaponise them. Every crisis, real or manufactured, becomes an excuse for more power. His cure is old-fashioned: think for yourself, question the herd, and remember that conformity in a panic is how the con wins. ► Join...

This hard-hitting interview from 2018 with former Detective Constable Jon Wedger is as relevant now as it was then. It explains how the system fails to protect vulnerable children, especially those in care. In fact, the system does quite the opposite. Jon observes that the establishment closes ranks in a wall of silence to protect itself and abusers. Jon has faced significant pushback from the pol...

What happens when economic sanctions stop working and the targeted countries refuse to play by Washington’s rules? In this episode of Silk and Steel, Carl Zha welcomes back Australian geopolitical analyst Dr. Warwick Powell for a discussion about the current evolution of international order. Trump has announced  a new wave of economic pressures against Iran. He also threatens secondary sanctions a...

In this banter, Mike, Charles, and Jerm explore the beauty of rural life, the joy of welcoming new life, the importance of positive thought, and challenges posed by negativity in society. They discuss how cultural identity and community play a role to shape perspectives on parenting and the future. They emphasise the need for a balanced view of the world that acknowledges its challenges and its be...

Liu Bang, meanwhile, has been effectively exiled to the remo...

The war narrative has ramped up. Russia is presented as an ever-increasing threat by mainstream media. The UK’s new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, has already handed over the licence and intellectual property for Stone Cloak electronic warfare systems to Ukraine. This has resulted in civilian deaths in Russia. AI and autonomy are also discussed, and the episode rounds off with a look at the state o...

Rasheed and Carl Zha take a hard look at the pressures on the U.S.-led global financial and geopolitical system — from the $40 trillion U.S. debt mountain and de-dollarization to the Strait of Hormuz crisis, BRICS, China, Russia, Iran, India and the rise of a genuinely multipolar world. Does the weaponization of the U.S. dollar accelerate the de-dollarization Washington wants to prevent? Carl Zha...

A little while ago, Reiner Fuellmich was able to call Brian Gerrish from prison to talk about his case and the possibility of his release. Reiner spoke candidly about the Corona Investigative Committee finances, his actions to try and protect the donations from the state, and the resulting events which led to his imprisonment. Reiner stresses that whilst others still have the money he was accused...

Jerm and Peter Duke discuss how language, education, and belief systems intersect to shape—and often control—public understanding. The deliberate Americanisation of English, the manipulation of word definitions for political ends, and the philosophical difference between liberty and freedom are explored. They argue that the education system stifles inquisitiveness and critical thought. This produc...
