Scottish vote and promise of more decision-making powers for England?

Nuala | 20-09-2014 11:46 | Analysis | Globalisation | History | London | Sheffield

This is a fake debate. There is an elephant in the room which most people are ignoring.

UG#691 - Big Drugs,Big Money& Big Guns (Deep State from Afghanistan to Susurluk)

Robin Upton | 18-09-2014 16:50 | Afghanistan | History | Terror War | Sheffield | World

Audio

We begin a new series this week, looking at the global drug trade and its key role in funding deep state groups. We begin with an expert on the Asian drug trade, Alfred McCoy. His 2010 talk, "Low-Intensity Conflict in the Drug Wars" focuses on opium production and its relationship to the proxy wars being fought in Afghanistan. We follow the heroin westwards to Turkey with a commentary by Sibel Edmonds who focuses on the nexus of the political and intelligence agency leaders, mobsters and drug traffickers which was brought to light by the "Susurluk scandal". This fateful 1996 car crash lead to the development of the phrase "Deep State" to describe the behind-the-scenes arrangements which were previously hidden from public view. While details of their operations remain unclear, they are increasingly understood to be more important to what really goes on than the for public consumption charade that is electoral politics.

The Yorkshire Ripper Cover-up / The Peter Sutcliffe Myth

Peter Newman | 03-09-2014 15:48 | History | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

An international readership is gradually becoming aware that the police/media version of the Yorkshire Ripper case is false. The Yorkshire Ripper was never caught. The families of the murdered women have been emotionally defrauded by the big lie that Peter Sutcliffe is the Yorkshire Ripper.

UG#689 - A Tale Of Two Worlds (Bridges in Myanmar, The Real 911 Suspects)

Robin Upton | 28-08-2014 20:39 | Analysis | History | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Audio

A stark contrast of material for you this week. We begin with an uplifting reading of Toni "El Suizo" Rüttimann giving the flavour of his latest expedition to Myanmar, in which he built half a dozen bridges of up to 100m in length in a 12 day period. Most of the show is a detailed exposition of old world malfeasance - Kevin Ryan on who he suspects committed the terrorism of Sep 11th - Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and a bunch of lesser known names, some of whom have been quite successful in evading the limelight, but all of whom appear to be covert operatives for the Deep State.

What Does It Profit A Man? (Moneyless Living, The Canadian Genocide)

Robin Upton | 16-08-2014 17:23 | History | Repression | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Audio

We hear two contrasting stories of people who had the courage of their convictions. We start with a reading from "The Moneyless Manifesto", by Mark Boyle, who has been living without money in the UK for years. Our main speaker this time is a new one on the show, Rev. Kevin Annett, who recounts how he uncovered systematic genocide in Canada and how when he raised this issue he was defrocked by his church.

Attached are audio recordings from some of the sessions at the 2014 Sheffield Anarchist Bookfair which was held in the Showroom on Saturday 12th July 2014.

UG#687 - Is 50 Years Enough? (The JFK assassination and the 9-11 Attacks)

Robin Upton | 13-07-2014 05:15 | History | Social Struggles | Terror War | Sheffield | World

Audio

This week we conclude Mark Gorton's Fifty Years of the Deep State, which centers on 9/11, though it pursues avenues which we have not explored much on the show before. This is accompanied by veteran Deep Politics researcher, Peter Dale Scott, speaking on the 50th anniversary of JFK's assassination. Numerous parallels present themselves between the 9/11 and the JFK assassination, from the set up to the government cover-up commissions that strove in the face of huge evidence to the contrary to forge a shallow political narrative.

UG#684 - The Supranational Deep State (Deep Politics and Middle East Oil)

Robin Upton | 05-06-2014 18:06 | Anti-militarism | Globalisation | History | Sheffield | World

Audio

Do you find yourself wondering what's really going on, having seen through some one set of lies, whether you are now faced with another, more carefully crafted set of untruths? Two contributors this week take a close look at the murky bu$ine$$ of Deep Politics. We begin with a new speaker, Charlotte Dennett, who suggests that underneath a lot of facades the Middle East oil (and its exploitation by foreign powers) lies at the heart of geopolitics - including both world wars. In our second hour, a compendious 2014 essay by Peter Dale Scott on "The State, the Deep State and the Wall Street Overworld". Scott reveals superficially separate incidents of political malfeasance such as the Safari Club, BCCI and Adnan Khashoggi are in fact all symptoms of a single political malaise that he terms a "Supranational Deep State".

UG#682 - The Commercially Controlled Media (Shadows Of Liberty)

Robin Upton | 11-05-2014 02:09 | Analysis | History | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Audio

This week, a look at the CCM, how the corporate media is commercially controlled - how large money successfully shapes its output. We adapt Jean-Phillipe Lemay's Shadows of Liberty, followed by an excerpted speech by Jeremy Scahill on war crimes carried out by the US but unreported in USA by the large media corporations.

UG#680 - Unlawful Killing (Secrets of the UK and US Establishments)

Robin Upton | 23-04-2014 13:37 | History | Repression | Terror War | Sheffield

Audio

Our title piece is an adaptation of the banned film, Unlawful Killing, about what the jury decided was the "unlawful killing" of Lady Diana Spencer, who wrote in letter that her husband was planning a car "accident" for her. A legal document to the same effect was hidden for years by the UK's top police officer, who, far from being disciplined, was made a life peer. We conclude with an interview of Sibel Edmonds by Nafeez Ahmed on murky busine$$ of the US establishment surrounding Sep 11th.

UG#679 - The New Pearl Harbor 3 (The Exploding Towers)

Robin Upton | 20-04-2014 11:43 | Analysis | History | Terror War | Sheffield | World

Audio

We conclude Massimo Mazzucco's film, The New Pearl Harbor, looking this time at the remarkable circumstances surrounding the instantaneous freefall collapse of 3 steel framed skyscrapers (the first such collapses in history, happening largely in freefall as even NIST was forced eventually to admit).

UG#678 - The New Pearl Harbor 2 (Amerithrax, The Pentagon and Shanksville)

Robin Upton | 29-03-2014 13:48 | History | Social Struggles | Terror War | Sheffield | World

Audio

Before we continue our title piece, another 9-11 related piece from 2009. Author/film makers Bob Coen and Eric Nadler describe their researches into Amerithrax and the multi-billion dollar germ "defense" warfare industry. In our second hour, we continue with The New Pearl Harbor on the Pentagon and Shanksville events. We conclude with two 9/11 Commission members calling foul.

UG#676 - What We're Not Being Told 2 (Plutopia,Kett's Rebellion,Bullingdon Club)

Robin Upton | 01-02-2014 16:43 | Anti-Nuclear | History | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Audio

Did you know that both Russia and USA have ongoing radioactive disaster sites which have each released four times more radiation into the environment than Chernobyl? In our first hour, a history lesson on the sacrifices made by both super powers in the race to create plutonium. In our second hour Tony Gosling draws on several centuries of hidden history to paint an even larger picture of massive abuses of power by those who wield it in secret.

UG#675 - What We're Not Being Told (BIS, CFR, TLC, Scientific Truth)

Robin Upton | 25-01-2014 15:01 | Anti-militarism | History | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Audio

We continue our focus on the vast machine, looking this time not at the lies it tells but truths it leaves unspoken. First we hear Ellen Brown suggesting a BIS-Syria connection. Next for the first time on the show we hear professor and historian Anthony Sutton, who has a lot to say about the murky links between US big business and the development both of USSR and of Nazi Germany. We conclude with Chris Busby on scientific dishonesty in the area of radiation risk.

UG#664 -The Bloodstained Laundry Of Capitalism(&The Coming Revolt Of The Guards)

Robin Upton | 29-09-2013 07:36 | Analysis | History | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Audio

This week, a trio of angles on capitalism which sharply contradict the idealized world so aggressively pushed by economists and the commercially-controlled media. After Geoff Bailey introduces the concept of "Accumulation by Dispossession", David Graeber summarizes some key points from the book we last year, Debt, The First 5000 Years and we conclude with the final chapter of Howard Zinn's People's History Of The United States.

Undercover Police Officers Licensed to Rape and Discredit UK Citizens

Scriptonite Daily | 24-06-2013 08:51 | History | Policing | Repression | Sheffield | World

UK Police forces have despatched undercover agents into peaceful protest movements, where they have engaged in intimate sexual relationships and even had children with the targets of their espionage, while maintaining their cover. They have also been found smearing the families of murder victims and justice campaigners, and undertaken illegal actions to discredit otherwise peaceful movements. Undercover police exist and it seems they are licensed to do just about anything to suppress our ability to dissent.

UG#643 - Living A Higher, More Ethereal Life (Foreclosures, Monongahela, Walden)

Robin Upton | 30-05-2013 23:37 | Analysis | History | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Audio

What would it mean to live 'a higher & more ethereal life' we ask this week in a successor program to last week's show. The quote is from Henry David Thoreau's classic Walden which we keep reading, and which details the shed he built by Walden Pond in 1845 at a cost of $28.12½ (i.e. around $1000 nowadays). Our main presentation is a 2013 interview about Direct Action to resist the US government sponsored armed gangs who are attempting to evict people from their homes. We supplement this with short readings from John Taylor Gatto's Underground History of American Education and from Suelo.

UG#640 - The Making Of The National Security State (The Power Principle 1)

Robin Upton | 23-05-2013 02:51 | Anti-militarism | History | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

Audio

We devote the whole show to the first part of a radio adaptation of the 2012 Metanoia film, The Power Principle. Using examples of Iran, Guatemala, Congo, Chile and Greece a wide range of insiders and historians unmask the Cold War as a propaganda cover for the war between the rest of the world and resource hungry US corporations.

Crisis of Civilization Podcast#3 Sibel Edmond: the most gagged person in the USA

@NafeezAhmed @SibelEdmonds @crisisfilm | 21-05-2013 20:17 | Analysis | History | Terror War | Sheffield | World

Audio

FBI whistle-blower Sibel Edmonds was described as “the most gagged person in the history of the United States” by the American Civil Liberties Union. This week, Nafeez mosaddeq Ahmed released an article about her story which has gone viral. You can read the article "Why was a Sunday Times report on US government ties to al-Qaeda chief spiked?" here
