In this special episode, Carl Zha returns after a long hiatus to discuss the seismic geopolitical shifts following the recent conflict in West Asia. The conversation covers three interconnected themes: the collapse of the US strategic position in the Persian Gulf, Iran's emergence as a new "superpower" controlling 20% of the world's energy supply, and the ripple effects across the Asia-Pacific—particularly in Taiwan, where the opposition KMT is rethinking its relationship with both Washington and Beijing.

Carl dissects Donald Trump's empty threats of a counter-blockade, the logistical impossibility of US naval action against Chinese tankers, and why the Yinghe incident of 1993 (a Chinese ship stranded by US GPS jamming) led directly to China's BeiDou navigation system. He also analyzes the recent KMT-CCP leadership meeting, the meaning of "we do not want Taiwan to be a battlefield," and why the depletion of US missile defenses in South Korea to protect Israel sends a chilling message to all US allies in Asia.

(Please be advised, this is an adult conversation describing graphic sexual practices being taught to young children in schools. Discretion is advised).

Kim Isherwood is chair of the campaign group, Public Child Protection Wales. She and her team encourage parents to learn exactly what is being taught to their children, the risks sexual education poses in schools and the damage being done to young minds.

Damage she says will have an impact throughout their adult and family life.Kim gives a forensic analysis into what is behind the sexualisation of children. She also sets out how she, and other concerned parents, are challenging the system and building an international movement fighting back.

The tremendous work of Kim and her entire Public Child Protection Wales team has culminated in the second PCP Wales International Conference on Child Protection.

The event, on Saturday 18th April, brings together powerful international speakers prepared to defend children and families, and teach other parents how to do the same.

Riley Waggaman, also known as Edward Slavsquat, discusses his experiences and perspectives on Russia and global politics. He shares his journey where he lived in Russia for over a decade and worked in Russian media, to his disillusionment with both Western and Russian governments, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Riley critiques the global technocratic agenda and emphasises that Russia is not an alternative to Western policies, but is rather complicit in similar globalist strategies.

He highlights the importance to connect with like-minded individuals worldwide who oppose state overreach and advocates for scepticism towards any government, regardless of its geopolitical stance.

In 2020, when our society and economy were shut down by an autocratic Government, UK Column member Susan Humphrey joined forces with more than 40 like-minded souls in a bold move to preserve their liberty and sanity.

After much searching, in 2021 they found and purchased of a plot of land in Derbyshire, UK. Each trusting each other to contribute an equal amount of money.

They then set about transforming the area into a food and social haven, providing sustenance of all kinds.

With so many people involved, there have been complexities to work through.

However, what the groups have achieved on its plot of Derbyshire land is testament to their determination to create a better life, away from the system.

Now in its second farming season the community, and the land, is flourishing.

We hope this story will inspire others to enter into similar schemes and projects.
