John Perkins wrote "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man", a New York Times bestseller. In it, he reveals how he helped push several countries into massive debt by persuading their governments to take huge loans from the World Bank and the IMF. He lived the high life, with women, yachts, private jets, drugs, and so on. Just like a movie.

He is old now and regrets most of it. As he puts it, he cannot change history.

Jeremy Kuzmarov, from Covert Action Magazine, covers the CIA's role in Mandela's arrest, America's shifting stance on apartheid, and the broader fight over Africa's resources.

In short, he argues that the CIA (and US government) both supported and opposed apartheid based on whatever benefitted the US, such as the mines.

This episode was recorded a few years ago, back in the Covid era. Pete Parada drummed for The Offspring for about 14 years before they unceremoniously fired him for refusing the Covid vaccine.

The band made all sorts of excuses, saying they needed to travel and whatever else, but the point is there was nothing punk rock about it. According to them, you gotta keep 'em vaccinated.

Nisa Khan, a physicist and electrical engineer, discusses the dangers of LED lighting, its unnatural effects on human biology, and how it impacts nature and health.

This episode explores the science behind light, the differences between natural and artificial illumination, and practical ways to reduce exposure.

Des Bernardo says the White Cross project — a campaign that planted 3 000 crosses in Washington and screened a farm-murder documentary at the White House — isn't really about farm attacks;

it's a regime-change op serving US and Israeli interests, using the "White genocide" narrative Trump needs to justify foreign intervention.

Machines can only follow patterns; they have no will or consciousness — yet this "AI" is a powerful tool in the hands of a ruling oligarchy that's locking ordinary people out of the economy and culture.

When the UK family courts removed her nine-year-old son Gabriel with armed police – based on no clinical evidence whatsoever – former physiotherapist Kate Markland was left with one hour a week on FaceTime.

Instead of falling apart, they turned that hour into a co-created fantasy fiction series; "The Adventures of Gabriel" is now three books, reaching children worldwide, and winning press and awards across the world.

This is a story about turning pain into purpose, and refusing to quit when the state resorts to totalitarianism.

I attended UK Column's 20th anniversary weekend event in Plymouth, in the UK. Coming from South Africa, I wasn't used to all the bureaucratic red tape; the regulations, the micro-management — and having to pay for anything and everything, including drop-off charges at Heathrow, and even air for car tyres.

No wonder the British people appear miserable and demoralised.

I spoke to Peter Breggin, one of America's most prolific psychiatrists and my oldest guest ever at 90, fresh from a stroke, and still warning about pharmaceutical drugs.

He argues that Lindsay Clancy would never have killed her kids without psychiatric pills, and that no drug can treat the root of her distress, or that of millions of parents.

Big Pharma doesn't see patients as people, but as experiments.

Continuing my 9/11 series, this conversation is with a man who was part of the cleanup operation at the Pentagon. He saw no evidence of any aircraft wreckage. None. Nothing. In fact, what he saw didn't look like a plane crash at all. He doesn't know what hit the building, but he doesn't believe it was a Boeing.

This was recorded in 2024.

The video version, which includes slides, is on my website.
