The Black Spy Podcast

Matt Hancock, Isabel Oakeshott and the What’app revelations (Part1) The Black Spy Podcast Season 8, Episode 0009 In last week’s Podcast I stated that it’s an accepted truism that the first casualty of war is truth! Well in this week’s podcast, the same is true, but one can substitute the word politicians for war. Therefore this week’s podcast looks at Matt Hancock, his time as the Secretary of State for health during the Covid19 pandemic and the book ghost written by Isabel Oakeshott utilising the now famous What’sapp messages passed to Isabel by Hancock. My partner in crime Firgas Esack and I explore these now famous What’sapp message and we discuss the use politicians make of the platform and why. Plus Firgas explains the press perspective on a story and indeed I challenge her why the press choses one story over another and why we tend to bee less in formed with propaganda seemingly reigning supreme. So, once again the Black Spy asks you not only to listen and be entertained, but also if you wish to contact him or Firgas to challenge his analysis.

The Nicola Bulley incident - Is it an example of how the British Press are out to trash the reputation of the Police (Part2)   The Black Spy Podcast Season 8, Episode 0006 This week's Black Spy Podcast discusses a worrying trend of the seemingly incessant drip feeding of negative stories by all forms of the established media against the police.  These stories are so biased that many capable individuals are put off from pursuing a career in the police. Consequently, recruitment is extremely difficult with the consequences for British society being grave. One should remember that the police alone in British society, are prohibited from striking due to## a 100 year old law put in place by Sir Winston Churchill. Two years ago an off duty police officer, Wayne Couzens, murdered young executive, Sarah Everard. This sent the press into a frenzy. Then, last year another off duty police officer, David Carrick, was arrested for raping several of life partners at various time over a period of years.  Prior to joining the police, both officers had previously served in the British Army, so were seen by police recruiters of being of good conduct.  Although both offenders committed their offences off duty, in both cases the press suggested that the most important factor was that these individuals were police officers.  The press also extrapolated that female members of the public, in particular, were not safe around police officers in general, on duty or off duty.  Articles and unending columns inches were devoted to these incidents and to the ‘so called police culture’ they suggested spawned the incidents.  The copious column inches however, neglected to say that at least a third of all police officers are women and over 42% of all new police recruits are women. Plus, more importantly, presently 40% of all British police Chief Constables are women.     Strangely however, the press is nearly silent when it comes to the murderous behaviour of other professions, drawing little or no connection with their employment even when this is a major factor in their crimes. For example, in the last decade or so, nurses, on duty, have murdered tens of their patients in the UK - to practically no hue and cry in the press or media of any kind (TV, radio or printed).      •    Nurse Beverley Allitt murdered numerous babies at Grantham Hospital.     •    Nurse Lucy Letby, at the same time as Sarah Everarads death was being fully exposed in the press, was charged with murdering 7 babies and attempting to Murder 10 others!     •    Nurse Colin Campbell Norris murdered 10 of his patients and attempted to murder at least one other.     •    Nurse Benjamin Geen  murdered at least 2 patients in an Oxfordshire hospital where others victims sustained grave life threatening symptoms at his hands.     •    Nurse Victorino Chua of Stockport  Stepping Hill hospital murdered 2 of his patients and 21 others potential murder victims suffered life threatening hypoglycemia attacks at his hands.  Frankly the list goes on. This is not to mention:      •    Dr Harold Shipman who two decades ago in Manchester, murdered at least 250 of his patients. It is though he could have murdered double this number of patients.     •    Surgeon Simon Bramhall who signed his initials on patients livers      •    Surgeon Ian Patterson who who was found guilty of operation on countless patients, mainly women, for seemingly no reason. He disfigured them by removing breast etc. This was allegedly done for financial gain according to the relatively little press there was in comparison to the David Carrick police case.  However, unlike the hue and cry in two police cases, the press has not suggested at any stage that all doctors and nurses can not be trusted despite the gravity of the offences committed multiple serial murders by these very many more medic. Moreover, all these offences were committed whilst all these medical professionals were performing their duties.  Its also worth noting that at no stage have NHS chiefs come on TV and radio or written in the press apologies for the the ‘culture’ of their profession that keeps allowing these mass murders to continue.  Seemingly it is only the police who are seen as dangerous, misogynistic and racist.  Could it be that the press considers police as working class plebs, but nurses a positive contributors to society and doctors, as fellow upper middle class professionals. Or is it just an inexplicable oversight by the press?  These and other issues are discussed in this week’s Black Spy Podcast featuring long term national media journalist Firgas Esack.

Part 2 Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning A Gift to the well being of the planet or a Curse to humankind The Black Spy Podcast Season 8, Episode 0004 This week's Black Spy Podcast discusses Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotics, and Machine Learning with Firgas Esack and fellow national news media Journalist, Sally Brockway; regarding these rapidly advancing fields that have the potential to significantly impact the future. We consider the positives and negatives of these fields. In the coming years, we can expect to see significant advancements in these fields, which will bring both major opportunities and potential existential threats. The future of AI is particularly exciting as it has the potential to revolutionize the way we live, work, and interact with each other. AI has already shown tremendous promise in fields such as healthcare, finance, and transportation, and its impact is only set to grow in the coming years. For example, AI-powered systems are already being used to diagnose diseases, analyse financial data, and control autonomous vehicles. The future of AI is likely to see it becoming even more integrated into our daily lives, with AI systems performing a wider range of tasks, from scheduling appointments to helping us make important decisions. The future of robotics is also very promising. Robotics technology has come a long way in recent years, with robots now being able to perform a wide range of tasks, from manufacturing to search and rescue operations. The future of robotics is likely to see even more advanced robots, capable of performing complex tasks with greater accuracy and efficiency. This will lead to a wide range of benefits, including improved productivity and efficiency, as well as the creation of new jobs in fields such as robotics engineering and maintenance. Machine learning is another field that is set to play a significant role in shaping the future. Machine learning is a subset of AI that involves training computers to learn from data and make predictions or decisions based on that data. The future of machine learning is likely to see it being used in an ever-increasing range of applications, from fraud detection to personalized recommendations. Machine learning will also play a critical role in advancing the field of AI, allowing AI systems to become more intelligent and better able to understand and respond to the needs of their users. In conclusion, the future of artificial intelligence, robotics, and machine learning is very exciting, with the potential to bring about significant advancements in a wide range of fields. However, whilst this is all true, there are potential massive challenges to be faced along the way. And, although the benefits of these technologies could far outweigh the costs, leading to a future that is more productive, efficient, and interconnected, the potential threat, is the end of the human race.

Billions of us globally have had the Covid 19 vaccines, many of us haven’t even thought of questioning the safety of these vaccines nor know what part of or bodies they target by them. Is this okay, or should we have been better informed or indeed better informed ourselves. Is it totally different that many of the vaccines work on a genetic molecular level? Should this require a greater amount of concern by us the patient? Is it possible that a genetically based vaccine can function for all?

Are Covid 19 vaccines safe? Billions globally have had the Covid 19 vaccines, many haven’t even thought of questioning the safety of these vaccines nor have they attempted to find out what part of their bodies is being targeted by these vaccines. Is this okay, or should we, the people, have been better informed or indeed should we better inform ourselves. Is it totally different from other vaccines, that many of the vaccines countering Covid 19 work on a genetic molecular level? Should this require a greater amount of concern by us the patients? Is it possible that a genetically based vaccine can function the same for all, regardless of genetic  make-up and mutations? Dr. Rachel Taylor questions the above points, plus the Black Spy adds to her concerns the political sphere.

STRIKES & DEBT The state of Britain & The near future? The Black Spy Podcast Season 7, Episode 0010   Following last week's episode looking into the state of Britain with strikes everywhere and a winter of discontent and the question as to whether it was just a UK problem or is the Capital system itself beginning to show its fundamental cracks? Part two of this discussion aims to look at how the system might legally attempt to control any possible disorder. What is and has been the law regarding demonstrations? What are the police legally able to do? What has happened in the past? How did western Capitalism win  out in the past. And will the future follow the past?  Who can control the kings and Queens of private wealth, and worse still, will humans be able to control technology especially sentient AI that we are creating? Have we learnt from the little know incident that nearly annihilated the world in the 1980's? Or will we create our own grim reaper?   Carlton explores these points with his journalist and publicist podcast partner, Firgas Esack.

STRIKES & DEBT Is modern day Capitalism one big Ponzi Scheme? The Black Spy Podcast Season 7, Episode 0009 This week’s episode looks into the state of Britain with strikes everywhere and a winter of discontent, is it just a UK problem or is the Capitalist system itself beginning to show its fundamental cracks. Are fiat currencies which are backed by nothing other than government promises, actually now being seen as the embers of a dying Ponzi Scheme ready to fall? Has greed reached intolerable levels, thereby creating a 1% feudal elite that has little in common with its fellow citizens or their workforces as they live a gilded life of unimaginable luxury? Carlton explores these points with his journalist and publicist podcast partner, Firgas Esack.

Is The UK Too Military Centric? The Black Spy Podcast Season 7, Episode 0008 This week’s episode looks into Britain’s and other nations’ military expenditures and asks if too much is spent on military forces whilst seeking to answer why this is the case. Carlton explores the subject in-depth, at the request of you the listeners who have asked about military expenditure and asked why is it required? Consequently the Black Spy looks at this issue step by step analyzing several countries expenditure and suggesting reasons for this. Have you wondered why in Britain, the USA and Russia etc, politicians find it difficult to speak openly about suggesting to cut military expenditure? Or why on the UK’s Conservative benches MPs seem to always be asking for more military expenditure. Moreover, why, under the present Labour Party of Sir Keir Starmer, are Labour MPs aping this position. As always we hope that listeners will learn something from today’s podcast, however more importantly Carlton hopes listeners will simply enjoy the experience!

Democracy What is it & does Britain have it? The Black Spy’s Critical Thinking series Season 7, Episode 0007 This week’s episode is another in the Black Spy’s special ‘Critical Thinking’ episodes where he explores a subject in-depth often at the request of you, the listeners. Hence today’s Critical Thinking episode was chosen by subscribers/listeners who wanted Carlton’s take on what he considers ‘democracy’ to be. We will therefore look at this concept in the round and try to establish its a ‘real world’ definition devoid of geopolitical propaganda and learnt educational bias. This has aloud Carlton to reach some potentially fascinating conclusions. Don’t agree with Carlton’s analysis? Feel free to start a discourse with him, as to why not. However, as always, listeners should primarily enjoy some fresh thought provoking analysis!

Meghan & Harry Christmas Special (Part 2) Behind the TV show! The Black Spy Podcast Season 7, Episode 0006  The Netflix super series Harry & Megan is a hit the world over. However, what’s the back story? In part one we learned that  Harry really served in a combat role in Afghanistan in the British army before the press rumbled him. We asked is Meghan a spoilt Hollywood troublemaker? We also established that the Royal Family and the British press didn't her original headline grabbing beauty or novelty that outstaged other royals. Was she then simply a  capable, successful and tenacious black woman, who as  an outsider refused to be cowed an antiquated system and its allied exclusive single hued press pack? Did/does this make Meghan and Harry a threat to the British monarchy and hence the British state? Is a Royal institution even theoretically viable in a true democratic state? as can a country be truly democratic, if every citizen is not free to become the head of state by their own endeavour? Can we Brits perceive or even contemplate our society without the Royals and are we wrong not to be able to? These and many other allied questions and the geo-politics surrounding these issues are answered when Firgas Esack poses such questions to the Black Spy, Carlton King.

Meghan & Harry Christmas Special (Part 1)  Behind the TV show! The Black Spy Podcast Season 7, Episode 0005 The Netflix super series Harry & Megan is a hit the world over. However, what’s the back story? Did Harry really serve in a combat role in the British army? Is Meghan a spoilt Hollywood trouble maker as made out by much of the British Press or an outsider who will not cowed? Are Meghan and Harry a threat to the British monarchy and therefore the British state? Should there be a Royal Family in a democratic country?

Can we Brits perceive or even contemplate our society without the Royals and are we wrong not to.These and many other allied questions and the geo-politics surrounding these issues are answered when Firgas Esack poses such questions to the Black Spy, Carlton King.

Refugees, Englishness & Royal Palace Racism (Part 2) The Black Spy Podcast Season 7, Episode 0004   The continuation episode (part 2) asking amongst many other questions, why Brits believe most asylum seekers/refugees come to the UK when this is blatantly not the case. In 2020 for example the UK only received - 37, 550 asylum applications, whereas Germany had - 124,380, Spain - 108,225 and France - 103,370 in the same year! Moreover, most asylum seekers/refugees come nowhere near Europe, the USA, Australia or Japan - but stay in their millions in the closest country to their own - Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, Turkey, Lebanon etc? Why do many Brits such as Lady Susan Hussey think being English is a matter colour, albeit that black people have been in Britain for at least 2000 years? These and many other allied questions and the geo-politics surrounding these issues are answered when Firgas Esack poses such questions to the Black Spy, Carlton King.

Cops & Spooks - Why we treat them so differently (Part Two) Black Spy Podcast - Season 7, Episode 0002 Season 7, continues with part 2 of the question that Carlton King and Firgas Esack posed - why police are perceived, and indeed treated, much less favourably than secret intelligence and national security officers (spies - known colloquially in the UK as spooks). To answer this question Firgas looks at the way her profession (journalism) treats the police and Carlton suggests that class may well be a reason for this, taking into account that uniquely Carlton has experienced this difference having been a senior player in both the Police and the Secret Intelligence Service. As with last week’s opening show for Season 7, the show delves into the geo-politics of class. Hence in both episodes Carlton and Firgas are at pains to fully exploit and explore the question in all its guises – perceived blue collar verses white collar, national importance verses the mundane. Its all discussed. Another great Black Spy Podcast listen. And as always, I hope you like it.
