AI Data Centres, Central Intel, and Water Lockdowns | Jerm Warfare 20.08.2026 55minAs Hakeem Anwar notes, AI is pitched as the next internet. Behind the hype, hyperscalers throw billions at data centres. The data centres guzzle water and power on an industrial scale. It is a bubble built on easy money. When it pops, consumers will foot the bill.These monster facilities pollute neighbourhoods, drain local resources, and feed a Big Tech surveillance apparatus. They have their fingers in military AI, too.The pushback starts at home: communities can block planning approvals, build their own local AI and energy solutions, and choose self-reliance over dependence on the data centre racket.https://abovephone.com► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent newsFollow #UKColumn on:► X► Telegram► Facebook ► Instagram -
The U.S. Empire Is COLLAPSING — China, Iran & BRICS Are Changing the World | Silk and Steel 19.08.2026 53minThe U.S. economy may look strong on Wall Street, but what happens when you look beneath the stock market?In this episode, Rasheed and Carl Zha examine the growing economic, military and geopolitical pressures facing the United States — from the enormous U.S. debt burden and the AI bubble to the declining role of the dollar and the rise of alternative financial systems centered around China and BRICS.Carl argues that the gap between the financial markets and the real economy is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Meanwhile, countries are beginning to explore alternatives to the dollar, including Brazil's growing use of Chinese yuan financing through Panda bonds.The conversation then turns to the war in West Asia and the strategic implications of Iran's ability to challenge U.S. military power around the Strait of Hormuz.Carl compares the situation to the Suez Crisis, arguing that the Persian Gulf could represent a major turning point in the history of U.S. power.The discussion also examines:🇺🇸 The U.S. debt crisis and the limits of financialization💵 Why countries are looking for alternatives to the dollar🇨🇳 China's declining holdings of U.S. Treasury debt🇧🇷 Brazil, BRICS and yuan-denominated borrowing💰 Why borrowing in yuan can be dramatically cheaper than borrowing in dollars🇮🇷 Iran and the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz🚀 The economics of missile defense vs. mass missile production🇯🇵 Japan's military buildup and economic constraints🇨🇳 China's dominance of drones, robotics and manufacturing🇺🇸 U.S.-China trade and technology restrictions🇵🇰 Why Pakistan chose China's J-10C over U.S.-supplied alternatives🌎 The emergence of a more multipolar financial system⚠️ Why Washington's "hard power" may be facing unprecedented challengesIs the dollar system entering a new era — and is China helping build what comes next?Watch the full discussion and decide for yourself.► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent newsFollow #UKColumn on:► X► Telegram► Facebook ► Instagram

The Banquet Where China’s Future Was Decided | Silk and Steel 17.08.2026 1t 6minThe Qin Dynasty has fallen. The rebel armies have defeated China’s first imperial dynasty, and now the victors must decide what comes next.But instead of creating a stable new order, Xiang Yu begins to divide the former Qin empire among rival kings and military commanders. This creates a political landscape which is filled with competing ambitions, grudges and potential rebellions.At the center of the emerging struggle is Xiang Yu, the brilliant and immensely powerful military commander, and Liu Bang, the seemingly unremarkable rebel leader who entered the Qin heartland first.When Liu Bang arrives in the Qin capital, he unexpectedly follows a remarkably restrained policy: he seals the imperial palace, protects the population and waits for Xiang Yu.But Xiang Yu sees Liu Bang as a potential rival.What follows is one of the most famous episodes in Chinese history: the dangerous banquet in which Xiang Yu's advisor Fan Zeng wants Liu Bang killed. Xiang Yu hesitates. A staged sword dance becomes an attempted assassination, and Liu Bang ultimately escapes through a combination of political maneuvering, loyalty and sheer nerve.The episode would become legendary — to include the Chinese idiom “Xiang Zhuang performs the sword dance while aiming at Liu Bang.”The larger story is even more consequential.Why did Xiang Yu divide China into competing kingdoms rather than simply replace the Qin imperial system?Why did he isolate Liu Bang in the Sichuan Basin?Why did Xiang Yu eliminate or weaken so many former rulers while he rewarded his own generals with kingdoms?And how did the collapse of the Qin transform the very meaning of political legitimacy in China?The episode explores one of the most striking ideas to emerge from this revolutionary period: kings and ministers are not necessarily born to rule — political power can make them.From the rebellion of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to Xiang Yu's new political order, the old aristocratic hierarchy begins to break down.While Xiang Yu believes he has successfully contained Liu Bang, he has unknowingly created the conditions for his greatest rival to return.Next episode: Liu Bang escapes his “natural prison” in the Sichuan Basin and begins a campaign that will challenge Xiang Yu's hegemony over China.► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent newsFollow #UKColumn on:► X► Telegram► Facebook ► Instagram

Language, Immigration, and Multiculturalism | Jerm Warfare 17.08.2026 1t 3minJerm and Charles explore the evolution of English, accents, and what language reveals about class and culture as they weave in personal travel experiences and historical contexts.They then turn to immigration in the UK and beyond, connect today's migration patterns to colonial history, and argue that media narratives strip out the geopolitical roots to the issue. A central thread is the distinction between organic multiculturalism, where communities form naturally, and artificial, top-down diversity, which is seen to erode social cohesion.Throughout, they push for nuance over slogans and challenge mainstream narrative on language and migration.► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent newsFollow #UKColumn on:► X► Telegram► Facebook ► Instagram

America’s Asian Allies Prepare for a U.S. Retreat | Silk and Steel 14.08.2026 1t 10minIs the United States losing its ability to dominate Asia?In this episode of the Silk and Steel Podcast, Carl Zha is joined by Australian economist and geopolitical analyst Dr. Warwick Powell for a wide-ranging discussion about the changing balance of power from the Persian Gulf to East Asia.The conversation begins with the continuing war involving Iran and the strategic consequences of the Strait of Hormuz. Dr. Powell argues that the conflict could have consequences far beyond the battlefield, particularly through disruptions to oil, diesel and other petroleum-derived products.The discussion then turns to a much bigger question: what happens when America’s allies begin preparing for a world in which the U.S. can no longer guarantee their security?Japan’s accelerating remilitarization becomes a major focus. Powell examines the convergence of Japanese domestic politics, economic policy and concerns about the reliability of the American security umbrella. He argues that Japan’s military buildup could ultimately make the country more independent — potentially creating a problem for Washington itself.Carl and Warwick also examine the implications for Taiwan and China, including the Taiwan government’s increasingly confrontational posture, PLA activity around the island and Beijing’s expanding maritime presence.The conversation then shifts to China’s economic and technological transformation.Why is Washington restricting Chinese humanoid robots and other advanced technologies? What does the contrast between American restrictions on Chinese robots and China’s response with tariffs on American agricultural products reveal about the changing structure of the two economies?Powell also challenges the popular narrative that the Chinese economy is on the verge of collapse. Instead, he describes an economy undergoing a difficult structural transformation — from property-led growth toward manufacturing, technology, infrastructure, renewable energy and urban renewal.Among the key themes:The strategic consequences of the Iran conflict and Strait of HormuzWhy oil shortages may become a diesel problem, not simply an oil problemThe changing U.S. position in the Persian GulfWhy America's Asian allies may be preparing for a weaker U.S. security presenceJapan's accelerating remilitarizationThe economic risks of Japanese "military Keynesianism"Japan's dependence on Chinese rare earth supply chainsTaiwan's political strategy and Beijing's responseWhy U.S. efforts to contain China may be producing the opposite resultChina's dominance in robotics and advanced manufacturingThe growing technological divide between China and the United StatesWhy China's economy is not simply "collapsing"China's domestic demand, money circulation and supply-chain financeThe restructuring of China's property sectorChina's next phase of urban renewalRenewable energy, green hydrogen and China's future energy systemHow China's industrial exports are transforming the Global South► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent newsFollow #UKColumn on:► X► Telegram► Facebook ► Instagram

John Stockwell Was an Important CIA Whistleblower | Jerm Warfare 14.08.2026 1t 2minCovert Action Magazine editor Jeremy Kuzmarov argues that the CIA functions as the enforcement arm of corporate interests, infiltrates academia and Hollywood to shape public narratives, glorifies its operations in film, and manufactures consent through propaganda.He highlights whistleblowers like John Stockwell, whose exposure of covert actions and enigmatic death illustrate the personal dangers that come with challenges to the intelligence establishment. Kuzmarov also critiques the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) as a rebranded CIA which continues foreign interference under the banner of "democracy promotion," and points to the agency's destabilisation activities in regions such as China and Tibet.Ultimately, he contends that the CIA's sociopathic institutional culture serves corporate and geopolitical objectives, drives unnecessary wars and widespread human suffering.https://covertactionmagazine.com► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent newsFollow #UKColumn on:► X► Telegram► Facebook ► Instagram

The Great Talmudic Confluence | Jerm Warfare 11.08.2026 1t 5minSuidlanders spokesman Simon Roche returns to lay out "the confluence", a once-in-civilisation alignment of crises he believes will make 2027 one of the most painful years in human history.In this wide-ranging conversation, Simon connects the dots across global energy and diesel disruptions, collapsing fertiliser and food security, a cracking bond market and yen carry trade, a historic stock market bubble, a looming Carrington-level solar event, and a super El Niño already confirmed in the Pacific.The central thesis: these are not isolated events but spokes of a single wheel, and nobody in mainstream commentary is looking at them in conjunction.https://suidlanders.orgDoes everything seem to be linked?► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here ► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website ► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism ► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent newsFollow #UKColumn on:► X► Telegram► Facebook ► Instagram
