Professor Diane Rasmussen spoke with Rodney Atkinson, one of Britain’s most successful political economists, at his home in the North East of England. They discussed a wide range of urgent national and international issues, including Rodney’s influential work on tracing the rise of the fascist corporatist state in Western democracies, the false construct of the political right and left, the war in Ukraine, Brexit, and the Nazis and fascists behind the European Union.Rodney also shared his views on Reform UK, Ben Habib, and Rupert Lowe, and reflected on his experiences of meeting Margaret Thatcher and other influential political figures in the UK. He also offers solutions for what can be done to stop corporatist fascism’s ongoing advance of corporatist fascism in the West.Rodney traces his extensive career in political science to his upbringing in the former steel town of Consett, where his Oxford-educated father served as a local councillor. His brother, comedian and actor Rowan Atkinson, has not become involved in politics, but has spoken about the need to protect free speech based on his professional experiences.Rodney’s 2015 talk for UK Column, “Brexit or Die”, can be viewed on YouTube. According to Rodney’s website Freenations, he is one of Britain’s most successful political economists, an expert on the constitutional effects of the UK’s membership in the European Union, and a former occasional advisor to ministers. He has authored many articles, policy papers, and books, lectured at the University of Mainz in Germany, and worked as a merchant banker in the City of London.He was the Referendum Party candidate in North West Durham in the 1997 General Election and the lead UK Independence Party candidate for the North East Region in the 1999 European Elections. In recent years, he has given numerous speeches and interviews internationally.UK Column looks forward to further in-depth conversations with this highly experienced and insightful political economist.► 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

Michael Rectenwald talks about his time in academia, his changing views on social justice, and his journey from Marxism to libertarianism.He shares how work at NYU exposed him to pressures of institutional ideology, especially around Critical Theory, which has roots that go back to the 1920s.Michael explains that when he questioned the official story during the COVID-19 pandemic, it led him to broader doubts about authority and public narratives. He uses the term 'Cathedral' to describe the close relationship between government, media, and universities in how they shape what people believe.Michael sees the Great Reset as a form of economic fascism where state and corporate power merge, often through public-private partnerships that increase surveillance and reduce personal freedom.He argues that conspiracy theories should not be dismissed without thought. They can highlight real issues about who holds power. On U.S. foreign policy, he criticises Zionism as a tool of coercion and blackmail.Throughout, Michael stresses the importance of free speech and individual self-determination.https://www.michaelrectenwald.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

Jason Christoff examines the pervasive influence of mind control through media, where he highlights how psychological tactics manipulate public perception.He stresses that repetition in media shapes subconscious behaviour over time. According to Jason, predictive programming in films readies the public for future societal shifts.The Toronto Protocols reveal long-term plans for control. Jason argues that the feminisation of men—media depictions portray males as weak—and the empowerment of women are part of a broader agenda.Mind control, he claims, operates through fear and compliance to disempower individuals. The business of mind control is highly profitable, he notes.Ultimately, awareness is essential to resist these manipulative forces.Planet Mind Control: https://www.planetmindcontrol.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

Chris Dobson, a master armourer with extensive experience, offers insight into the real history of armour. He dispels common misconceptions such as the myth of the knight in shining armour.Contrary to popular belief, armour was not overly heavy or cumbersome, but carefully engineered for mobility and protection, often proofed against weapons to ensure it worked in battle. The craftsmanship involved was highly specialised, governed by strict guild regulations, and included techniques such as colouring metal for both aesthetic and protective purposes.Behind the craft lies a murkier side to the armour trade, linked to organised crime and influential networks which include Freemasonry. With a personal background shaped by his father’s role as a codebreaker at Bletchley Park during WWII, Chris is now retired from armour-making and turns his focus to art history, while he reflects on a career rooted in skill, secrecy, and historical truth.https://renaissancedissident.com/index.html► 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
