In particular, he explains how PMCs are used for the facilitation of child trafficking across the Mexico/US border, aid delivery in Gaza, the pursuit of Ukraine’s rare earth minerals, and the orchestration of famine in Sudan.Morgan served in the US Air Force before joining Blackwater as a mercenary in Iraq in 2003. He subsequently worked in Army Intelligence and recently wrote a book about his experiences: Guns, Girls and Greed. Morgan writes for various publications and has an account on X.

Bruce Fenton, a British researcher and author renowned for his meticulous exploration of human origins, challenges the conventional 'out of Africa' model in his thought-provoking work, notably his book The Forgotten Exodus, which features a foreword by acclaimed writer Graham Hancock. With a unique blend of expertise in finance, technology, and ancient history, Bruce has dedicated years to studying genetic data, archaeological evidence, and historical texts. He argues that Asia, particularly Southeast Asia, played a pivotal role in the evolutionary narrative of modern humans. Emphasising genetic diversity, he advocates for a multi-regional perspective, suggesting that various human populations across the globe contributed to our species' development. He also delves into the controversial notion of intelligent intervention—potentially ancient genetic manipulation or extraterrestrial influence—adding complexity to the discourse. He confronts the debates surrounding these theories head-on, presenting compelling evidence that Southeast Asia was a critical hub for the emergence of modern humans, thus questioning the traditional focus on Africa as the sole cradle of humanity.Bruce on X: https://x.com/GeologicalSETITo see all our written and video content, please visit the UK Column website: https://www.ukcolumn.org/ If you would like to support the work we do, you can do so at https://support.ukcolumn.org/

Jerm and Pepe Escobar, a veteran Brazilian journalist renowned for exposing the shadowy underbelly of global power structures, convened in a cafe within the Old City of Kashgar. Pepe elaborated on his 40-year career in on-the-ground journalism—from navigating conflict zones to revealing concealed geopolitical machinations—emphasising that authentic understanding arises from direct immersion, unlike the majority who now rely on remote, filtered data streams controlled by entrenched interests. He examined the ascendant influence of China and Central Asia, Russia's calculated manoeuvres against Western hegemony, the BRICS coalition as a subtle insurgency against dollar dominance, the Belt and Road Initiative forging alternative trade corridors to evade imperial constraints, and the impending disintegration of the West's faltering edifice, engineered by elite factions clinging to fading control in an emerging multipolar order.
