And actually, the yellow at the bottom there, where the supporters are, I think that's important because actually groups using this colour to organise people, I just think bear a little bit of scrutiny. They might be up to no good. So who have we got on the list? A Political Foundation, Gates Foundation, the B Team, the Rockefeller Foundation, Skoll Foundation, a lot of the top level philanthropic groups, Vital Voices, who I've spoken about previously, which is the US State Department and Hillary Clinton-backed global network of powerful women in commerce and politics. But importantly for today, I'm going to focus on one of them, which is this organization, which is the Elders. And the Elders was founded in 2007 by Nelson Mandela. They call themselves an independent global leaders network working together for peace, justice, human rights and a sustainable planet. Climate crisis is a big focus for them. Also multilateralism, gender equality, intergenerational dialogue. It's very exclusive. There's 12 people on the elders committee. You can see them at the bottom there. Founded, as I mentioned in 2007 by nelson mandela who is as i understand it a 33rd degree freemason he was anyway he obviously died in in 2013 um it's currently chaired by juan manuel santos who's that guy um just second in from the left who is also known as blair's man inota. And he was one of the global leader of tomorrow class of 1993, alongside Blair Brown and Vladimir Putin as well, actually, as we understand it. There's a great article from Winter Oak, which you should go and read by Paul Kudeneck, which we'll provide a link to, which gives a great background on him. And then Mary Robinson, who was chair of the Elders in 2018 to 2024, she left in October last year, I'm guessing, to focus more on this Dandelions program. And importantly, also an elder is Ernesto Zedillo on the right there, who's a former president of Mexico. Mary Robinson and Ernesto Zedillo and Ban Ki-moon, who is also an elder, former sec gen of the UN, went to meet Antonio Guterres at the UN to talk about global security issues, Israel, Palestine, and how to strengthen multilateralism amid geopolitical tensions. So Zedillo is obviously a close confidant and advisor to Mary Robinson, and he is a senior emeritus member of the Group of 30. And the Group of 30 is the absolute pinnacle of the global financial system. So they provide oversight of the Bank of International Settlements and the global central banking system. The majority of members of the Group of 30 are current or formal central So people like Mark Carney, who's currently the chair, Andrew Bailey, who's the current governor of the Bank of England. He's on the Group of 30. And this is right at the top of the pyramid. Let's have a little look at a few of the other characters. You can see Augustine Carstens there, the general manager of the Bank of International Settlements, Jeanette Yellen, chair of the Fed, Tim Geithner, US Treasury Secretary, Jacob Frankel, former governor of the Bank of Israel, former chair of J Chase International. And then on the far right of the picture, you can see Ernesto Zedillo, who is a senior emeritus member of the G30, which connects this group directly down to Project Dandelion. Ernesto Zedio at the G30 and the Elders, Mary Robinson at the Elders and Project Dandelion, turning every issue into a climate issue to get 2 billion people, predominantly women, to act for climate justice in order to drive through this totalitarian global system.

Ben, thank you very much. What can we say to our audience? The information has been all there on screen for you this morning. We hope that you'll share it with other people so that they can understand that their politicians in Westminster are making none of the decisions. All of the decisions are being made by the World Economic Forum and these agents. And this is the reason that Keir Starmer says he's got no interest in Westminster. He'd rather do his business in Davos. So it's out there. Please share it. Now, a huge thank you to everyone who supports the UK column. If you're not supporting us yet, please consider doing this. You can make a donation or you can take out a membership, a monthly, an annual or a lifetime membership. Of course, you can buy through the UK Column Shop. And as we always like to point out, we have Clive DeKal health products and we make a small percentage of those. So if you're interested in health and you feel you need something, that also helps the UK column. Now, as I've just mentioned to the audience, the information we put out is to be shared. This is why we do it, is to spread the word, the information, the evidence as far and wide as possible. So this is where our audience can be like those very little dandelion seeds spreading on the wind far and wide. And this is a very important thing to do because essentially we can outgrow the powers that Ben has shown us so clearly and what their agenda is. Now, I'd like to say to the audience that we've had a really tremendous response to our new UK Colomont location, which is Saturday the 5th of April in Cheltenham. We will put out more of the people speaking in due course, but Catherine Gunn, Alex Thompson, and Patrick Henningsen will certainly be speakers. Tickets are going remarkably quickly. So over a third of the tickets have already gone. So we're going to say to UK column members and also new people, if you want to come to this event, we advise you to get online and get hold of a ticket as soon as you can, because this is quite unprecedented response. We think we've hit the correct button with the subject of the deep state. And of course, the location couldn't be better in Cheltenham. So if you haven't got a ticket, please do. Now, tomorrow we're putting out this interview, and I think this is one of yours, Ben, Rosie Marshall. Is that correct? It
Speaker 2
is, yes. It's a fantastic discussion with Rosie Marshall, talking about the amazing work that she's doing with an organisation called Forest of the Fallen in her hometown of Sydney, Australia, to commemorate those that have been injured and killed by the COVID vaccines. Okay,
Speaker 1
thank you very much. And as always, we're delighted to advertise the Public Child Protection Wales Conference, 22nd of January. That's going to be in a location near Newport, South Wales, and tickets are £5. These ladies have done brilliant work exposing the abuse of children through the education system. So please do give them support.
