Why You Should Speak Freely (Almost) Always | Jerm Warfare Weekly Banter

Peter Duke on epistemological warfare and narrative control | Jerm Warfare► Subscribe to the UK Column YouTube channel ► https://bit.ly/UKColumn_SubscribePeter Duke is a researcher and commentator who examines controversial topics and alternative narratives. Peter recently experienced an arson fire that devastated his town, which led to discussions about potential connections between wildfires and real estate interests, suggesting these disasters may be planned rather than organic.Peter explored the concept of epistemological warfare—the deliberate manipulation of narratives to control public perception through language and media. He highlighted how fear-based messaging, including “safe and effective” public health communications, can function as sophisticated manipulation tools. The conversation covered controversial topics, including 9/11 narratives and directed energy weapons, with Peter suggesting that concepts like nuclear weapons may serve more as fear-generation tools than physical realities.Peter emphasised how influential figures may be part of larger narrative control systems, whilst noting that infighting within truth-seeking communities weakens their effectiveness. He stressed the critical importance of developing awareness and critical thinking skills to navigate complex information landscapes and understand underlying power dynamics in an era of sophisticated narrative manipulation.The Duke Report: https://thedukereport.substack.com► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_SubscribeFollow #UKColumn on:► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news

While travelling Europe, teaching garden design, Rachel found herself locked down in Spain during the Covid era. She endured authoritarian armed police enforcing ten-minute limits, €600 fines for minor infractions, and months of near-incarceration in suffocating 40 degree heat.In her harsh, enforced isolation, Rachel began to research and question the realities behind many global narratives. She quickly recognised that much of what we are told, particularly about climate change, simply doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.On her return to England, Rachel quickly turned her experience and research into Colchester Council Watch. She challenged her local council’s Net Zero agenda and exposed the contradictions in local ‘climate science’, all with considerable success. Her YouTube channel soon became a powerful wake-up call for thousands.After two intense years tackling UK council hypocrisy, with some notable wins, she stepped back to write her book Misadventures of an Accidental Activist. Sandi was asked to review it before publication, as her work is cited in it.The book is funny, sharp, and engaging. It is perfect for anyone beginning to question what is really going on in the world. This interview captures the remarkable story behind it.Rachel can be found on her website as well as on X, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Substack.► Join UK Column Live every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 1pm UK time or watch previous live recordings here: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_Live► [UK Column Website] Explore all our written and video content on the official UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/► [Support UK Column] Please donate to support our independent journalism & investigative journalism: https://support.ukcolumn.org/► [UK Column YouTube] Please subscribe to the UK Column News YouTube channel for more alternative news and independent news: https://bit.ly/UKColumn_SubscribeFollow #UKColumn on:► X: https://x.com/ukcolumn► Telegram: https://t.me/ukcolumn► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKColumnExtracts► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uk_column_news
