A two-hour solo broadcast from Paul English, recorded from his hut in the south of England and mirrored by Global Voice Radio Network. This is the third episode in the series, continuing the host's recurring theme of "the money power", his framing of finance and central banking as the mechanism of control running through modern life.
Hour one opens with a Washington Examiner report on House Republicans advancing legislation to block the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency. The host discusses Dr Richard Werner as one of the few economists who understands central banking, then plays a clip of Godfrey Bloom addressing the European Parliament on fractional reserve banking: "It is my opinion that you do not really understand the concept of banking. All the banks are broke." This leads into the host's framing of the East India Company and seniorage as the origin of the modern control system. The hour then pivots to environmentalism: a Daily Express article on potential jail time for net-zero non-compliance, an Alan Jones clip on CO2 percentages ("0.04% of the atmosphere"), a Joe Rogan clip on cobalt mining at the Shabara mine in Congo, and a reading from Michael Hoffman's Secret Societies and Psychological Warfare on "revelation of the method", the idea that the powerful confess their actions openly, knowing the public will not act.
Hour two opens with Catherine Ashcroft on uilleann pipes and a brief listener call-in. The host turns to architecture, the ugliness of modern brutalism versus the beauty of traditional English building, and then to NEOM's "The Line" in Saudi Arabia: a 175-kilometre, 500-metre-high mirrored box planned to house 9 million people. Two clips are played from promotional and panel material. The host argues the economy does not need perpetual growth, calling The Line "an abomination" and "our new prison system". A six-minute Marshall McLuhan interview is played, covering the global village, tribal violence, Hitler as a radio phenomenon, and the literate man's vulnerability to propaganda. The episode closes with Ezra Pound reading his Canto XLV, "With Usura", followed by a discussion of Hilaire Belloc's Economics for Helen, housing affordability, and the host's suspicion that companies like "We Buy Any Property" are part of a broader push toward Agenda 2030 and the elimination of private ownership.
