In this chat, Jerm and Todd Hayen, a psychotherapist and author who's peeled back the layers of societal manipulation and engineered conformity, expose the hive-mind grip on society and the hidden agendas rigging our systems from the shadows. Todd points out that if folks snapped out of their programmed uniformity, the elite's manufactured crises would crumble, yet he notes even those with good intentions get ensnared in the web of errors. The discussion drives home how the current setup serves dark purposes far from benefiting the masses, pushing everyone to wake up, spot the deceptions, and challenge the puppet masters pulling the strings.Todd's Substack: https://www.shrewviews.comThe UK Column is an independent media organisation and receives no corporate or foundation funding.

In this conversation, Jerm and Shannon Joy, a no-holds-barred radio host who's relentlessly exposed the deep state's Covid deceptions and the rigged political theatre that keeps the masses compliant, dissect the post-COVID landscape where so-called governance changes are nothing but smoke and mirrors crafted by elite psyops to manipulate perceptions through controlled media. They rip into the pitfalls of political sell-outs that pave the way for technocratic overlords, championing raw individual choice as the ultimate weapon against creeping tyranny, while sharing tales of personal awakenings that shatter illusions, the grit of local resistance to counter globalist overreach, and the unstoppable force of mass refusal to bow to invasive tech agendas, all underpinned by a fierce insistence on clinging to hope and faith to cut through the engineered chaos of this manipulated world.

Jerm and Hrvoje Morić, a geopolitical analyst who's exposed the undercurrents of globalist agendas through his Geopolitics & Empire podcast, unpack Hrvoje's recent trek to Croatia, the ironic isolation bred by hyper-connected tech traps, and the creeping claws of technocracy that throttle true human bonds in today's rigged society.

Well before the dangling threat of compulsory mRNA ‘vaccines’, Shaz Khan dug into the extremely dubious history of vaccination and, in particular, she interrogated the suggestion that vaccines make people ‘healthy’. Symptoms exhibited by her father before his death were concurrent with known neurological side effects of the flu jab; something not pointed out by medical professionals. At a time when vaccines are receiving unparalleled media promotion and investment, Shaz’s research brings historical context to one of the greatest propaganda exercises in history. The Ultimate Vaccine Timeline was published by Skyhorse in 2025 and there is a website to accompany the book. It can be ordered in to your local bookshop or purchased on Amazon.

In this conversation, Jerm and Quintin Jonck, a guy who's defied the HIV/AIDS dogma by rejecting the pharmaceutical stranglehold and mainstream myths, recount his raw journey through diagnosis and its life-altering grip, underscoring how solid support networks and bold defiance of corrupt medical gatekeepers opened doors to suppressed alternative health paths. In short, he was told he was HIV-positive and that he would be dead within four years. That was 20 years ago.He spotlights the game-changing power of diet and lifestyle tweaks in flipping health scripts, the vital glue of community and faith against isolation tactics, and the urgent call for unfiltered talks that expose industry deceptions, all boiling down to a fierce testament of unbreakable spirit, self-empowerment, and putting human bonds above the elite's adversity machine.He now believes HIV/AIDS is a scam.The UK Column is an independent media organisation and receives no corporate or foundation funding.
