Mel K is a conservative journalist, filmmaker, and podcaster renowned for her in-depth, research-driven explorations of global corruption, hidden truths, and societal issues, drawing on her dual NYU degree in journalism and film along with over two decades in Hollywood crafting historical dramas for screen and television. Gaining prominence through her investigation into the mysterious disappearance of $800 million in New York taxpayer funds allocated for the homeless and mentally ill via the ThriveNYC program, she launched The Mel K Show in March 2020 amid the pandemic, evolving it into a daily live platform that attracts over 500,000 subscribers across multiple channels despite platform purges. Broadcasting seven nights a week from West Palm Beach, Florida, the nonpartisan show fosters open dialogue among critical thinkers, connecting dots from cases like Jeffrey Epstein to broader agendas such as Agenda 2030, while emphasizing intellectual honesty, personal empowerment, and the restoration of transparency in a free society—recently channeling these themes into her 2024 book Americans Anonymous, which calls for citizen-led action to reclaim power from entrenched elites.Tickets to Cornerstone Forum 26’: https://www.showpass.com/cornerstone26/Tickets to the Mashspiel:https://www.showpass.com/mashspiel/Silver Gold Bull Links:Website: https://silvergoldbull.ca/Email: SNP@silvergoldbull.comText Grahame: (587) 441-9100Bow Valley Credit UnionBitcoin: www.bowvalleycu.com/en/personal/investing-wealth/bitcoin-gatewayEmail: welcome@BowValleycu.com Prophet River Links:Website: store.prophetriver.com/Email: SNP@prophetriver.comUse the code “SNP” on all ordersGet your voice heard: Text Shaun 587-217-8500

Mike Robinson is the co-editor-in-chief of UK Column, an independent British alternative media outlet he has helped steer since 2008. A writer and commentator since the mid-1990s, he co-hosts the flagship daily UK Column News broadcasts alongside Brian Gerrish and a rotating team that includes Patrick Henningsen and Vanessa Beeley. Known for his calm, forensic style, Robinson regularly dissects government policy, digital IDs, CBDCs, NATO expansion, migration, information warfare, and what he sees as the erosion of national sovereignty by supranational bodies. Mike and UK Column remain entirely viewer-funded and refuse corporate or political advertising. Based in Plymouth yet speaking with a distinctly unfiltered voice, Robinson has built a dedicated international audience that views him as one of the UK’s last truly independent journalistic watchdogs.Tickets to Cornerstone Forum 26’: https://www.showpass.com/cornerstone26/Tickets to the Mashspiel:https://www.showpass.com/mashspiel/Silver Gold Bull Links:Website: https://silvergoldbull.ca/Email: SNP@silvergoldbull.comText Grahame: (587) 441-9100Bow Valley Credit UnionBitcoin: www.bowvalleycu.com/en/personal/investing-wealth/bitcoin-gatewayEmail: welcome@BowValleycu.com Prophet River Links:Website: store.prophetriver.com/Email: SNP@prophetriver.comUse the code “SNP” on all ordersGet your voice heard: Text Shaun 587-217-8500

Pelle Neroth Taylor is a Swedish-British journalist, filmmaker, and political writer based in Sweden, renowned for his investigative work on geopolitics, propaganda, political assassinations, and the rise of European populism. Educated at Westminster School and Bristol University, he began his career in the early 1990s reporting for The Economist from the post-communist Baltic States, later editing and contributing to outlets like The Guardian, The Independent on Sunday, The Times, Financial Times, Sunday Times, New Scientist, and The Lancet. As founder of Two Raven Films, he has produced documentaries such as Sweden, Dying to Be Multicultural, a critical examination of Sweden's immigration policies that has garnered over 2 million views on platforms like Amazon Prime and Blckbx TV, and Cancel Nation, addressing censorship and cancel culture. Kari Poutiainen is a Swedish physicist and one of Sweden’s most persistent independent investigators of the 1986 assassination of Prime Minister Olof Palme. Together with his brother Pertti, he wrote the influential 1995 book Inuti labyrinten (“Inside the Labyrinth”), a meticulous critique of the official police investigation that became a bestseller and a classic reference work in the Palme case. For over three decades Poutiainen has continued his research, publishing additional books and appearing in documentaries and interviews. In recent years he has strongly advocated the theory that the murder was carried out by or with the involvement of Sweden’s secret Cold War “Stay Behind” network, motivated by Palme’s independent foreign policy and his contacts with Mikhail Gorbachev.

I’m joined by Caylan Ford and Bruce Pardy to discuss is there a “Common Good”.Caylan Ford is the founder of Canada’s fastest-growing tuition-free classical charter school network, Alberta Classical Academy. A former federal policy advisor with degrees from Calgary, George Washington, and Oxford. She also co-produced award-winning documentaries exposing human rights abuses. In 2019, she was a rising UCP star candidate until a leaked private chat about cultural preservation was weaponized as “white supremacy,” forcing her resignation within hours; she’s now suing for defamation. Bruce Pardy is a Queen’s University law professor, executive director of the law-and-liberty think-tank Rights Probe, and one of Canada’s sharpest classical-liberal critics of the “managerial state.” A former Bay Street litigator and decade-long adjudicator on Ontario’s Environmental Review Tribunal, he now writes and speaks on the front lines of the legal culture war—defending individual autonomy, free markets, property rights, and the rule of law against what he calls the “Unholy Trinity” of bureaucracy, human-rights tribunals, and activist courts.Tickets to Cornerstone Forum 26’: https://www.showpass.com/cornerstone26/Tickets to the Mashspiel:https://www.showpass.com/mashspiel/Silver Gold Bull Links:Website: https://silvergoldbull.ca/Email: SNP@silvergoldbull.comText Grahame: (587) 441-9100Bow Valley Credit UnionBitcoin: www.bowvalleycu.com/en/personal/investing-wealth/bitcoin-gatewayEmail: welcome@BowValleycu.com Use the code “SNP” on all ordersProphet River Links:Website: store.prophetriver.com/Email: SNP@prophetriver.comGet your voice heard: Text Shaun 587-217-8500
