The Next Big British Scandal?
With Bowie Dolan (Part 1)
Black Spy Podcast number 259 Season 26, Episode 0007
The Black Spy Podcast returns this week and next with a two‑part investigation into the long‑running controversy surrounding UK contractor tax‑avoidance "loan schemes." Host Carlton King is joined by guests Bowie Dolan and Firgas Esack, who bring first‑hand insight into how thousands of self‑employed contractors were drawn into arrangements marketed as fully compliant tax‑efficiency structures. Under these schemes, contractors' earnings were routed through large intermediary companies and then paid back to them as "loans," dramatically reducing declared income and therefore tax liability.
The episodes trace how these schemes proliferated across IT, engineering, and professional contracting sectors, often promoted as legitimate and government‑approved. Dolan and Esack explain the mechanics, the sales pitch, and the widespread belief that major corporations and specialist umbrella companies had properly vetted the arrangements.
The scandal escalates when HMRC later rules the practice unlawful, retroactively demanding repayment of taxes, interest, and penalties. Many contractors—who acted in good faith—found themselves facing life‑altering financial consequences.
Across both episodes, the Black Spy Podcast examines the human impact, the policy failures, and the ongoing debate about fairness, responsibility, and accountability. It offers a sober, accessible exploration of a complex issue that continues to affect thousands across the UK.

Playing the Race Card
Black Spy Podcast number 258 Season 26, Episode 0006
This week on The Black Spy Podcast, we're diving into one of the most sensitive and controversial topics in modern politics, how the 'race card' is used, whether to highlight injustice or to manipulate opinion and mobilise support.
We'll explore how political agendas, media narratives, and even grassroots campaigns can use race as a rallying point. But also how that can divide communities when it's used cynically. We're not here to dismiss racism or discrimination, but to ask whether every appeal to race is made in good faith, or if sometimes it's a strategic move to shape what people believe or how they behave locally, nationally, internationally and global – today and in the past.
Join us for a thoughtful, evidence-based discussion that aims to cut through the slogans and examine the reality.

Can PM Andy Burnham Bring Realism To No.10?
Black Spy Podcast number 257 Season 26, Episode 0005
In this week's critical thinking episode, Carlton states why Prime Minister Andy Burnham must pivot Great Britain away from the shadows of its imperial past and align its ambitions with its present reality. Carlton argues that Burnham must focus on revitalizing the UK from within, rather than trying to maintain a global role that no longer fits the UK's current economic and military standing.
The podcast highlights that the UK must abandon the superficial idea of simply relocating a few functions to the North and instead emulate countries like Germany, which has multiple regional centres of excellence. This would mean creating strong, economically diverse hubs throughout the nation, beyond London's traditional dominance.
Moreover, Burnham must seriously reform the UK's devolution structure, ensuring that it is not just a token gesture but a meaningful redistribution of authority and resources. The importance of supporting the police force is also emphasized, as they are the true frontline of order, and neglecting them could lead to societal instability.
Ultimately, Carlton argues that Andy Burnham must prioritize domestic issues, pulling the focus away from international posturing and instead working to strengthen the UK's foundations at home. This, Carlton explains, is the path to a more stable and prosperous future.

Are the British Police really so inept? – with Inspector Phil (Part 2)
Black Spy Podcast number 254, Season 26, Episode 0002
Are Britain's police really as ineffective as headlines, politicians and sections of the public would have us believe? Or has policing become an easy target for criticism in an age of social media, 24-hour news and intense public scrutiny?
Every mistake is broadcast nationally, while thousands of professional interventions that prevent crime, protect the vulnerable and save lives rarely make the news.
The reality is more nuanced. British policing faces unprecedented challenges:

The Collapse of Germany (Part 2)
Black Spy Podcast number 251, Season 25, Episode 0009
In last week's and this week's incisive episodes of the Black Spy Podcast, Carlton King delivers a hard-hitting geopolitical assessment of Germany's present day collapse from its position of the undisputed economic powerhouse of the European continent as a result of Germany's action to aid the Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.
Carlton examines the growing militarism of Germany, its Intelligence Reconnaissance Surveillance (IRS) support to the Ukraine to strike Russian cities including Moscow and St Petersburg as well as building German forces to a level not seen since the Third Reich.
Carlton argues that this military build-up threatens much of the world and particularly ordinary European citizens and many of Europe's nationalist political elites.
Carlton asks why German politicians allowed their economy to be destroyed, explaining the relevance of who destroyed the Nordstream pipeline in this vain. Nordstream providing Germany with an abundance of extremely cheap energy, Additionally, Carlton asks if German politicians have been compromised by compromat material as the US NSA was listening into (eavesdropping) on German politicians including Angela Merkel for over a decade.
Along with this situation Carlton exhaustively assesses why Germany is collapsing. So listen now to The Black Spy Podcast and be entertained whilst simultaneously learning.

Is the Ukraine worth dying for? (Part 2)
Black Spy Podcast number 248, Season 25, Episode 0007
In this week's explosive episode of the Black Spy Podcast, Carlton King delivers a hard-hitting geopolitical assessment of Britain's deepening involvement in the Ukraine conflict.
Examining the UK's provision of missiles, drones, intelligence support, and targeting assistance used in strikes against Russian territory — including civilian areas around Moscow — Carlton warns that London and its NATO allies may be dangerously escalating the war beyond that of a conventional proxy engagement.
Carlton argues that patience within Russia, both amongst ordinary citizens and elements of the ruling elite, is rapidly diminishing, increasing the prospect of retaliatory attacks against European infrastructure, factories, cyber networks, and military-linked industries. Referencing Operation MIDAS alongside the clear endemic corruption within Ukraine, Carlton questions whether Western governments are risking continental war for a at best questionable cause that is now increasingly detached from public interest and their citizens safety.
The central question posed by Carlton is stark and provocative: "Is the Ukraine worth dying for?"

Mandelson - Starmer's Downfall?
Black Spy Podcast number 244, Season 25, Episode 0003
A sharp, punchy episode of Black Spy that dissects how Peter Mandelson has become a political liability for Keir Starmer. The podcast convincingly argues that Starmer's judgment—particularly around Mandelson's controversial associations—has eroded trust at a critical moment. Drawing on the broader scandal narrative, including questions over vetting and links to Jeffrey Epstein, it frames the issue as symptomatic of deeper leadership fragility rather than a one-off misstep. Insightful and provocative, the episode blends political intelligence with narrative tension, though at times it leans heavily into speculation. Overall, a compelling critique of power, perception, and potential downfall.

Trump's Truth Social Dilemma (Part 2)
Black Spy Podcast number 243, Season 25, Episode 0002
In a presidency where a single post can move markets, rattle allies, and dominate the global news cycle before breakfast, The Black Spy Podcast turns its lens on one of the most volatile communications channels in modern politics: POTUS's Truth Social feed. In this gripping two-part special, "Trump's True Social Dilemma," we examine how impulsive digital pronouncements can shape real-world policy at home and abroad — from Washington power struggles to international flashpoints.
Part 1 explored the strategic impact of presidential messaging in real time. Are these posts calculated political warfare, deliberate distractions, or signals of deeper dysfunction inside the machinery of government? We unpack how online rhetoric can influence public opinion, unsettle institutions, and test the limits of democratic accountability.
Part 2 goes further, asking the harder and more uncomfortable questions. When erratic leadership behavior becomes a matter of national consequence, what safeguards truly exist? Could age-related changes, stress, emotional volatility, or other mental health concerns be factors worthy of scrutiny? And if so, is the American constitutional system genuinely equipped to respond?
Provocative, forensic, and unflinching, this two-episode investigation separates spectacle from substance and asks what happens when the most powerful office in the world is governed one post at a time.

Has Iran Ended US Economic Dominance
Black Spy Podcast number 239, Season 24, Episode 0008
This week's Black Spy Podcast is in the main dedicated to analysing the economic consequences of Israel's and USA sneak attack on Iran.
So in this episode we explain how the reserve currency works. How the petro-dollar works and how the circular movement of Billions if not trillions of these petroleum export dollars works there way through the Gulf States into the United States continually bolstered the USA economy.
Additionally we see how this situation is now being countered via gold sales amongst other monetary policy of counties like China and Russia and how the US has had to concede to Iran, buy allowing oil sales to prevent pressure on the world system presently run by the US as we also explain how the US became the world's guarantor of the global economy post World War Two.
This is another must listen episode of the Black Spy Podcast if you seek the truth.

Why the US killed 167 Iranian girls

This week's Black Spy Podcast is in the main dedicated to answering a question posed to Carlton King by several listeners "who killed the young Iranian School girls (children) during the sneak attack on the first day of the present US/Israeli war against Iran.

TRUMP'S War? (Part 2)
Black Spy Podcast number 237, Season 24, Episode 0006
This week's Black Spy Podcast examines the growing malaise within the United States government during the Trump era and explores the complex web of political, ideological, and financial pressures shaping American decision-making. The programme analyses how competing interests — from domestic political survival to international alliances — have placed Donald Trump at the centre of a series of contentious power struggles.
A key focus of the discussion is the strategic relationship between the United States and Israel, including the influence of both Jewish Zionist political movements and the powerful network of Christian Zionists in the United States who interpret Middle Eastern politics through an "End of Days" theological lens. The episode explores how these overlapping ideological and political agendas can influence policy priorities in Washington.
The podcast also considers the broader ecosystem of influence surrounding Trump, including wealthy donors, lobbying organisations, and political patrons such as Marion Anderson, alongside the role of business figures and intermediaries operating close to the administration. Particular attention is given to the way personal networks — including Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and long-time associate Steve Witkoff — intersect with diplomacy, business interests, and geopolitical strategy.
From controversies surrounding Jeffrey Epstein to questions of oil politics and campaign funding, the programme asks whether these pressures help explain the confrontational posture that has defined much of Trump's political trajectory.

Can we fix Britain? (Part 2)
Black Spy Podcast number 235, Season 24, Episode 0004
Last week I asked the Can Britain accept its place in the world or will it die under its post colonial pretentions?
This week and next week, with my two colleagues, Dr Rachel Taylor from the perspective of the human mind and Fergus Esack from her professional media and spin expertise - we ask can Britain be fixed or is Britain on an inevitable road to real decline turbo charged by an inability to live within its means!
Hence, as with last week, the Black Spy Podcast examines one of the most provocative questions in modern British public life: whether the United Kingdom is experiencing terminal decline or simply undergoing a turbulent period of transition.
Drawing on his experiences and perspectives from security, economics, geopolitics, and social cohesion, Carlton explores the indicators often cited as evidence of UK national decline — slowing economic growth, pressures on public services, widening inequality, political fragmentation, militaristic solutions often as a side kick of the USA in an effort to retain/regain global influence especially post Brexit.
The episode also considers demographic change, actual defence capabilities, energy security, and the resilience of Britain's institutions, asking whether these trends point to structural weakness or cyclical challenge.
Rather than accepting headlines at face value, the programme interrogates what "decline" really means. Is national strength measured primarily through economic output and military reach, or through softer power such as diplomatic networks, intelligence capability, legal stability, cultural reach, and financial services dominance?
The episode assesses Britain's continuing advantages, including its strategic alliances, intelligence partnerships, global language influence, leading universities, and role as a financial and technological hub.
Through balanced analysis and insider-informed commentary, the podcast challenges simplistic narratives of collapse while acknowledging genuine vulnerabilities that could shape Britain's future trajectory.
Ultimately, the episode asks whether Britain is fading as a world power, reinventing itself for a new era, or misunderstood in the way its strengths and weaknesses are judged.
This ia a timely and thought-provoking exploration, as this instalment invites listeners to reconsider Britain's place in the world — and what the answer means for its future security, prosperity, and above all, its identity.

The Fake of Democracy
The Black Spy Podcast 228, Season 23, Episode 0007
This week Carlton King asks - is Democracy a con?
In this critical thinking episode of the Black Spy Podcast Carlton poses the seldom asked question how could the USA be the leader of the free world from 1945 onward when African American 1/5 of the US population were effectively denied the right to vote, have substantial schooling, suffered extreme discrimination in housing - employment - policing - judicial sentencing - banking & finance (loans not being available to blacks) and indeed any type of social, cultural and national interaction. Moreover, the final nail in the US's democratic credentials is that from the end of the US civil war in 1865 all the way through to the early 1980's, the lynching of African American men and indeed women was not unusual.
So I ask, how could the USA be seen as the leader of the Free World - possibly it was because the West:
Central & South America
the European colonies in Africa and Asia and
Settler states in these areas and Oceana
treated their African and black and brown subjugated peoples in exactly the same manner.
So often, in the modern era, democracy is compared and contrasted as such:
At its core, democracy means rule by the people — people participate in choosing leaders and shaping public life through free, fair, and inclusive elections and meaningful civil liberties. It also presumes equal rights and protections for all citizens.
Historical contradictions: Today's democracies — including the United States — have often fallen short of this ideal. In U.S. history, Black Americans and other minorities were legally excluded from voting and full citizenship well into the 20th century; segregation restricted basic civil rights long after the U.S. became a global power claiming to champion "freedom." These contradictions reflect democratic backsliding — where institutions and practices don't live up to democratic principles, often due to inequality, exclusion, or political manipulation.
Venezuela and democracy: Venezuela's recent elections (e.g., July 2024) have been widely criticized for lacking transparency, fairness, and real competition, with opposition candidates disqualified and results disputed. Many governments, including the U.S. and EU, refused to recognize the outcome. Meanwhile U.S. policy — refusing to recognize Nicolás Maduro's presidency and pushing sanctions or pressure — illustrates how geopolitical interests and claims about "democracy" intersect with power politics.
Comparisons with Russia and China: Russia and China hold elections or consultative processes, but these often lack competitiveness, independent media, and checks on power that typify liberal democracy. Critics argue these systems do not meet international standards of democratic legitimacy, even if leaders are formally chosen.
Conclusion: Democracy is a normative ideal, not a fixed reality. All political systems, including those that call themselves democratic, have gaps between theory and practice. Assessments of democracy must look beyond elections — at fairness, rights, freedom of expression, rule of law, and equal participation — not merely at who occupies office.
So let us see how the Black Spy assess this question.
Once again this is a must listen episode that educates whilst entertaining, to provide listeners with a real understanding to today's world.

2025's Shocking Disclosures (Part 1)
The Black Spy Podcast 225, Season 23, Episode 0005
This week's Black Spy Podcast sees host Carlton King and regular thrupple contributor Fergus Esack evaluate 2025 and the stories that have occurred during the year.
2025 will be remembered as a year of pressure, polarisation and profound questioning, and the Black Spy Podcast offers a measured yet unflinching evaluation of a world in flux. Across its episodes, the podcast reflects on how debates around gender continued to evolve, often framed by cultural anxiety, political opportunism and generational divides. These conversations were rarely simple, and Black Spy captured that complexity rather than reducing it to slogans.
Politically, 2025 exposed deep fractures. From domestic power struggles to shifting alliances, the podcast assesses how trust in institutions was repeatedly tested. The European Union features as a central theme, navigating economic uncertainty, internal disagreements and its changing role on the global stage.
War remains a grim constant. Black Spy surveys the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the continuing violence surrounding Israel, not to rehearse daily headlines, but to consider the wider human, political and moral consequences of prolonged conflict. These wars shaped diplomacy, energy policy and public opinion far beyond their borders.
The year was also marked by a series of shocking incidents that jolted public consciousness—events that forced uncomfortable questions about security, social cohesion and leadership. In reviewing 2025, the Black Spy Podcast does not offer easy answers, but instead provides context, reflection and a clear-eyed assessment of a year that left few untouched.

Search ISBN-13 : 979-8276993768
Christmas Must Buy Books
The Black Spy Podcast 224, Season 23, Episode 0004
This week's Black Spy Podcast sees host Carlton King step away from headlines and hard geopolitics to offer listeners something more seasonal – a carefully curated list of books he believes make powerful, thought-provoking Christmas stocking fillers, each chosen for its ability to inform, challenge and inspire.
At the heart of the episode is Carlton's own memoir, Black Ops – The Incredible True Story of a (Black) British Secret Agent, which he frames not as self-promotion, but as an essential corrective to the narrow way British intelligence history is usually told. From there, the discussion broadens into history, politics, race, psychology and power. Titles such as Der Unvergessene Krieg and Winston Churchill's Young Winston are explored as windows into how wars are remembered, mythologised and used to shape national identity.
Carlton places particular emphasis on works that reclaim obscured histories, including Great Men of Colour by Joel Rogers, UNESCO's monumental History of Africa, They Came Before the Mayflower by Dr Ivan Van Sertima, and Black Athena by Martin Bernal. Together, these books challenge Eurocentric narratives and ask listeners to rethink who is written into – and out of – world history.
The episode also highlights contemporary relevance through Male Menopause – The Hidden Crisis by Dr Rachel Taylor and Carlton King, linking mental health, masculinity and social silence, while Rupert Alison's The Branch offers insight into the often-misunderstood machinery of British intelligence.
To close, Carlton turns to dystopian classics – George Orwell's 1984 and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World – arguing they are no longer warnings about the future, but commentaries on the present. He rounds off by recommending the enduring moral clarity found in the works of Charles Dickens.
It's an episode that treats books not as escapism, but as tools for awakening – perfect gifts for curious minds.

The Myth of Anxiety with Neuroscientist Dr. Rachel Taylor (Part 2)
The Black Spy Podcast 223, Season 23, Episode 0002
Episode 2 – The Anxiety Myth Part II: Power, Identity & the Business of Fear
In this episode, the investigation deepens. Carlton King and Dr. Rachel Taylor explore how power structures—from governments to global tech platforms—exploit anxiety to shape behaviour, control populations and drive profit. If fear is currency, who are the brokers?
Why do modern societies appear more anxious despite unprecedented comfort and safety? Is the rise in anxiety actually a symptom of social fragmentation, digital overstimulation and identity disruption rather than individual pathology? And what role does race, class and lived experience play in how anxiety is labelled, treated or ignored?
Carlton draws on decades in state security to examine how fear is manufactured, manipulated and monetised. Dr. Taylor challenges the neurological oversimplifications used to justify a multi-billion-pound mental-health economy. Together, they ask whether anxiety is being systematically weaponised against the public.
If anxiety is an evolutionary alarm system, what happens when it is hijacked? More importantly—can we reclaim it?
This episode confronts one unsettling truth: perhaps anxiety isn't a personal failure, but a rational response to an irrational world.

The Myth of Anxiety with Neuroscientist Dr. Rachel Taylor (Part 1)
The Black Spy Podcast 222, Season 23, Episode 0002
Episode 1 – The Anxiety Myth: What If Everything We Think We Know Is Wrong?
Is anxiety really a mental health crisis—or have we misunderstood the entire phenomenon? In this week's Black Spy Podcast, Carlton King and Neuroscientist Dr. Rachel Taylor dismantle the assumptions, narratives and commercial interests shaping our modern understanding of anxiety. Why are anxiety diagnoses skyrocketing in the West while resilience appears to be collapsing? Has society medicalised normal human emotion to the point where stress, fear and discomfort are now rebranded as pathology?
Dr. Taylor brings cutting-edge neuroscience to the table, challenging listeners to rethink the brain's threat systems, the role of trauma, and the possibility that anxiety may not be a "disorder" at all but a misinterpreted survival mechanism. Carlton interrogates the political, economic and cultural drivers behind the anxiety industry: who benefits from defining millions as "unwell"?
Is the modern world genuinely more dangerous, or have we simply lost the tools to cope? And crucially—if anxiety is not what we've been told—what does that mean for treatment, medication and human agency?
This episode asks one radical question: What if anxiety isn't the enemy—but the message?

Black History Month Special (Part 2)
AI - The Truth Exposed!
The Black Spy Podcast 216, Season 22, Episode 0007
This week, host Carlton King continues his headfirst dive into the meaning of Black History Month — asking seemingly none provocative questions of Chat GPT such as Why do you and other LLM continue to use terms such as the Middle East" and why does this matter?
Carlton argues that while race is a biological nonsense, it remains a powerful political reality shaping lives, identity, and history itself. To illustrate this, Carlton explores the true financial and political objectives and consequences of the British Empire, including how Britain came to rule world finances. Carlton also uncovers how AI is finally challenging a racist, euro-centric manipulation of history with true and evidenced fact, yet strangely Carlton notes that these answers are not provided questionaries in the first instance and he wants to establish why?.
Carlton examines who decides who's "Black" and who's "White," and how these definitions have been weaponised throughout history to dumb down Africa and it's diaspora's real historical legacy.

Those wishing to study the Moors should read below entreaties:
Rewriting the Colour of Empire: The True Faces of the Moors
For centuries, the story of civilisation, conquest, and empire has been told through the prism of whiteness — a selective historical lens that obscures the true racial complexity of the past. Few examples demonstrate this distortion more clearly than the story of the Moors, the African and Afro-Arab peoples who ruled the Iberian Peninsula from 711 to 1492. Their legacy has been bleached by time, politics, and the anxieties of Eurocentrism. Yet when we interrogate the terms "Arab" and "North African," and when we examine who the Moors truly were, it becomes clear that their identity — viewed through the modern racial constructs of Europe, the Americas, and the wider world — would have been understood as Black.
- The Political Language of Race
Before we proceed, it's vital to recognise that "race" itself is not a biological truth but a political technology — a tool developed in Europe between the 17th and 19th centuries to justify slavery, colonialism, and hierarchy. The concept of "Blackness" as a fixed identity did not exist in the early medieval period. However, if those earlier peoples were assessed through the racial systems later used to define African-descended peoples in the Americas and Europe, the Moors would unmistakably fall on the "Black" side of that divide.
The problem lies in terminology. The modern labels "Arab" and "North African" obscure far more than they reveal. They create a convenient distance — a linguistic whiteness — between the African reality of these populations and the European imagination of them. "Arab" today is used as an ethnic descriptor, but in origin it was cultural and linguistic, not racial. Likewise, "North African" has been racialised to mean something distinct from "African," as though the Sahara were a racial border rather than a desert.
- The True Peopling of North Africa
Before the Arab conquests of the 7th century, North Africa was home to a complex tapestry of peoples — Berbers (Imazighen), Nubians, Garamantes, Numidians, and others — many of whom were described by classical authors as Ethiopians, meaning dark-skinned or black. Roman and Greek writers regularly referred to North Africans as people of "dark hue" and "woolly hair." In early Christian iconography and Byzantine records, the inhabitants of Mauretania and Cyrenaica were also depicted with distinctly African features.
The Berbers themselves were not monolithic. Populations in the Sahara and southern Maghreb, particularly among the Sanhaja, Lamtuna, and Zanata confederations, were dark-skinned Africans. Others in the northern coastal regions exhibited varying degrees of mixture, reflecting centuries of movement between Africa, Europe, and the Near East. What unified them was not "race" but language and geography. When Islam reached North Africa, these diverse African peoples were among its first converts and its most dynamic missionaries.
- Arabisation, Not Arab Origin
The Islamic conquests did not result in the mass migration of Arabian tribes into Africa. Instead, what took place was a process of Arabisation — the adoption of Arabic as a lingua franca, the spread of Islam as a unifying faith, and the alignment of local elites with the new Caliphate. Thus, calling the North African Muslim conquerors of Iberia "Arabs" is historically misleading. They were predominantly African Muslims who spoke Arabic, just as many later Africans would speak French or English under colonial rule without becoming "French" or "English" in race or origin.
Early European chroniclers were clear on this point. The Chronicle of Alfonso III and other medieval Spanish sources describe the Moors as "black as night" or "of the colour of pitch." Even Islamic historians such as Ibn Khaldun, writing centuries later, acknowledged the Africanity of many Berber tribes, describing them as descendants of the "Sudanese" — the peoples of the great black belt stretching across the Sahel.
Yet over time, the language shifted. European imperial historiography began to lighten the image of the Moors, recasting them as "swarthy Arabs" or "dusky Mediterraneans." This process mirrored the broader whitening of antiquity, in which Egypt, Carthage, and even Ethiopia were reframed to fit European racial hierarchies.
- The Iberian Experiment and Its Aftermath
When the Moors crossed into Spain in 711, they brought with them a civilisation that outshone much of contemporary Europe. Al-Andalus became a beacon of learning, architecture, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, and philosophy. The libraries of Córdoba contained hundreds of thousands of manuscripts, while much of Christian Europe was still in intellectual darkness. This flourishing was not the work of a "white" Europe but of a Black and brown Africa in partnership with the Islamic world.
Over nearly eight centuries, the Moors transformed Iberian society. Their architecture, agriculture, and intellectual traditions still shape southern Europe. Yet when the Christian Reconquista triumphed in 1492, it did so under a new ideology: purity of blood (limpieza de sangre). This doctrine sought to cleanse Spain of its African and Jewish ancestry — not because it was religiously impure, but because it was racially tainted. Here lies the tragic irony: the very people who would go on to colonise the Americas and establish rigid racial hierarchies were themselves of mixed African descent.
Genetic studies today confirm what history suggests: the modern Iberian gene pool, especially in Andalusia and Portugal, carries significant North African and sub-Saharan markers. Spain's first global explorers, conquistadors, and settlers — the so-called "Spanish" who arrived in the Americas — were not racially homogenous. Many would, by modern standards, have been considered mixed-race or "Black."
- The Transatlantic Consequence
When these Iberian peoples carried their empire across the Atlantic, they exported not only technologies and languages but also the racial anxieties born from their own African heritage. The obsession with "blood purity" in Spain and Portugal became the template for the rigid colour hierarchies of the Americas. The cruel irony is that those who enforced whiteness and slavery in the New World often did so while suppressing or denying their own African lineage.
To acknowledge that the founders of the transatlantic empires were themselves products of African–European intermixture would upend the ideological foundation of colonial modernity. It would dismantle the myth of a purely "white" Europe civilising a "black" world and reveal instead that the global order was built by peoples whose histories, bloodlines, and cultures were profoundly entangled.
- The Erasure of Africa's Intellectual Legacy
The erasure of the Moors' Blackness is not simply a question of pigmentation; it is an erasure of African intellectual authority. European historians have long portrayed Africa as the recipient, not the source, of civilisation. To admit that Black and African peoples once governed, taught, and civilised Europe would overturn centuries of racial narrative.The architectural grandeur of the Alhambra, the philosophical inheritance of Averroes and Ibn Tufayl, and the scientific advances in navigation, medicine, and mathematics all owe their existence to this Afro-Islamic synthesis. Yet in Western textbooks, this heritage is often attributed vaguely to "Arabs" or "Muslims," never explicitly to Africans.
- Reclaiming Historical Truth
To reclaim the Moors as Black is not to impose anachronistic labels on the past, but to reclaim Africa's stolen place in the global story. It is to say that the civilisation which once illuminated Europe was African-led; that the intellectual seeds of the Renaissance were sown in the soil of Al-Andalus by scholars whose ancestors came from across the Sahara; and that the very concept of "Europeanness" was forged in contact and contrast with an Africa it could not truly separate itself from.
Acknowledging this truth would profoundly reshape how we understand empire, race, and power. It would expose the myth of a white Europe as the sole architect of modernity and instead reveal that the world we live in today — from its science to its politics to its racial categories — was born out of Africa's engagement with the world, not its exclusion from it.
- The Final Reckoning
The story of the Moors is not merely a footnote in European history; it is a mirror held up to the racialised consciousness of the modern world. To call them "Arabs" or "North Africans" without acknowledging their Blackness is to continue the colonial erasure that began with the Reconquista and reached its zenith in the transatlantic slave trade.
In truth, the Moorish conquest of Iberia was the first great African empire in Europe — a testament to the power, sophistication, and humanity of a civilisation the West has spent centuries trying to forget. Restoring that truth is not an act of revisionism; it is an act of liberation.
Black History Month Special (Part 1)
Two famous 18th century families you never knew were black!
The Black Spy Podcast 215, Season 22, Episode 0006
This week, host Carlton King dives headfirst into the meaning of Black History Month — asking the provocative question: What is "Black History," and why does it matter?
Carlton argues that while race is a biological nonsense, it remains a powerful political reality shaping lives, identity, and history itself. To illustrate this, he exposes the hidden stories of two famous families who, through deliberate "whitening," have had their true African heritage obscured from public view.
Tune in for a thought-provoking exploration of how power, politics, and perception continue to shape the narrative of Black identity.
🔍 Next week: The investigation continues — Carlton examines who decides who's "Black" and who's "White," and how these definitions have been weaponised throughout history to control the African Diaspora.

ABUSED? STALKED? - Demand Women get Tech Protection! (Part 2)
The Black Spy Podcast 214, Season 22, Episode 0005
In this week's episode of The Black Spy Podcast, Carlton King and Firgas Esack continue last week's deep dive into one of society's most urgent and under-addressed crises — the protection of women, girls, and others from domestic violence and stalking. The discussions examine both the failures of current protective systems and the promise of new technologies, such as GPS-based electronic monitoring devices, to transform safety and accountability.
Carlton and Firgas focus particularly on the innovative Talitrix LLC wrist-worn electronic monitoring systems already in use in the United States. These systems differ significantly from traditional ankle tags by offering real-time GPS tracking, two-way communication, biometric verification, and advanced geofencing capabilities. This means that for the first time, courts, police, and victims themselves could be instantly alerted if a perpetrator breaches a restraining or non-molestation order — potentially preventing violence before it happens. Victims could be warned in real time when a perpetrator approaches a prohibited zone, allowing them to take immediate protective action and giving authorities the ability to intervene rather than merely react to tragedy.
The podcast also scrutinizes why, despite these advances, such life-saving technologies are not yet widely deployed in the UK. The hosts question whether bureaucratic inertia, cost concerns, or lack of political will have delayed the adoption of electronic monitoring in domestic violence contexts — even as statistics show domestic abuse accounts for nearly one-fifth of all violent crime in the UK. Firgas Esack, herself a survivor, brings a personal and poignant perspective to the discussion, highlighting how delayed interventions and weak enforcement leave victims vulnerable, while perpetrators often exploit the system's gaps.
In the second part, Carlton broadens the debate to consider the moral, legal, and privacy dimensions of widespread monitoring. Can technology be implemented ethically without becoming intrusive or misused by authorities? Could a coordinated rollout of systems like Talitrix save countless lives by making restraining orders truly enforceable for the first time?
Through expert interviews, survivor testimonies, and international comparisons, The Black Spy Podcast challenges listeners to rethink how modern society uses technology — not just for convenience or commerce, but for justice and protection. These episodes argue powerfully that the tools already exist to make domestic abuse prevention proactive rather than reactive — but only if the UK government has the courage to act.

Tommy ROBINSON - Opportunist, Patriot or Ill-Informed? (Part 2)
The Black Spy Podcast 211, Season 22, Episode 0003
The 150,000-strong anti-immigration demonstration in central London, fronted by figures like Tommy Robinson, is a striking illustration of how immigration has become one of the most polarising issues in British politics. The march’s overt targeting of Muslims and people of colour underscores the racialised framing of immigration, moving the debate far beyond policy detail and into the territory of national identity, culture, and belonging. The demonstration reflects a public mood that successive governments have helped to shape. For years, both Labour and the Conservatives have flirted with populist rhetoric on immigration. Labour, historically more cautious, now walks a tightrope between its traditional working-class base—some of whom are sceptical of immigration—and its progressive, urban supporters who view migration as essential to a modern Britain. This tension often leaves the party hesitant, reactive rather than proactive. The Conservatives, by contrast, have leaned heavily into the immigration debate, especially under recent leaderships. Their strategy has been to present themselves as the only party capable of “taking back control” of borders—first through Brexit, then through high-profile but controversial measures like the Rwanda deportation scheme. While such policies rarely deliver the promised results, they fuel a perception among parts of the electorate that the government is fighting a cultural battle against an “influx” of outsiders. In effect, the Conservatives have normalised elements of the very language and themes echoed by street movements like Robinson’s. This creates a dangerous loop: populist protests pressure politicians, politicians adopt harsher rhetoric to shore up support, and protests grow bolder in turn. The London demonstration is therefore not just a one-off show of force but a symptom of how deeply immigration has become embedded in Britain’s political fault lines—and how both major parties, albeit in different ways, are struggling to manage it.

How abused UK Minister’s wife fought the system and won! (Part 2)
The Black Spy Podcast 210, Season 22, Episode 0001
This week’s Black Spy Podcast continues last week’s venture into one of the most troubling and complex intersections of politics, justice, media, and personal trauma. Host Carlton King is joined by journalist and publicist Firgas Esack, who brings both professional insight and lived experience as a survivor of domestic abuse, to dissect the extraordinary and disturbing case of former Conservative government minister Andrew Griffith and his ex-wife, Kate Griffith.
The discussion begins with the deeply personal: Kate Griffith’s harrowing allegations of coercive control and marital rape during her marriage to Andrew Griffith, an abuse which highlights the dark realities too often hidden behind the public façades of power. Firgas and Carlton explore how these dynamics echo the experiences of countless women, showing how the language of love, loyalty, and parental responsibility is frequently weaponised to keep victims silent and trapped.
The conversation then widens to examine systemic issues: the underfunding of the criminal justice system, the shortcomings of parliamentary standards, and the uneven way cases of domestic and sexual abuse are handled in both the courts and the media. Why do survivors so often feel disbelieved or dismissed? Why does the system still lean toward protecting the reputations of powerful men over the safety and dignity of women?
A striking dimension of the Griffith case is its political twist: following their divorce, Kate Griffith went on to win her ex-husband’s former parliamentary seat, a moment that raises difficult questions about power, gender, and the resilience of survivors. Firgas and Carlton reflect on what it means when the abused literally takes the place of the abuser within the same structures of state power—and whether this represents justice, irony, or something more troubling.
Both episodes also address wider societal narratives: the persistence of misogyny, the culture of male blame, and the contested notion of the parental prerogative—the belief that parents, no matter their abusive behaviour, should retain access to their children. This debate exposes the tensions between a child’s welfare, the rights of survivors, and the rights of perpetrators who seek to maintain control through family courts.
Together, these two episodes present not just a single case but a lens on Britain’s political class, its justice system, and its societal attitudes toward gendered violence. They ask listeners to confront whether progress is being made, or whether institutions remain complicit in sustaining patterns of abuse.

How Western governments, the media & billionaires have dumbed us down! (Part 2)
The Black Spy Podcast 208, Season 21, Episode 0009
In this week’s second part of a two-part edition of The Black Spy Podcast, Dr. Rachel Taylor rejoins Carlton King to continue dissecting the forces that they began explaining last week.
Dr. Rachel she argues, governments, billionaires and the mainstream mass media they control, have combined to engineer a less critical, more malleable Western society. Together, they explore how political expediency, cultural trends, and financial power converge to shape the mindset of citizens — often to the advantage of elites.
Together Carlton and Rachel explore Wokeism, Infantilization, Political Expediency and undue influence by Big Business, Billionaires, and the powers that be have dumbed down western styled democracyThe discussion tackles the rise of wokeism as both a cultural movement and a political tool. Dr. Taylor examines how, rather than promoting genuine inclusivity or tolerance, the rhetoric of “wokeness” is often used superficially by politicians and institutions to avoid deeper, more difficult reforms. This, she argues, has infantilized Western youth, encouraging them to view the world through oversimplified moral binaries rather than cultivating resilience, complexity of thought, or responsibility. Carlton and Dr. Taylor ask whether this culture of fragility has left the next generation more dependent, less capable of critical thinking, and easier to manipulate.
Moreover Dr. Rachel and Carlton also turn the minds to the influence of corporations and billionaires, highlighting how immense financial power shapes political agendas. They suggests that the alignment of big business and political actors promotes short-term expediency over long-term strategy, leaving the average citizen disempowered and distracted. Through advertising, media control, and cultural sponsorship, corporations not only influence consumption but also reinforce the infantilization of society by rewarding conformity and discouraging dissent. The result, they argue, is a Western public increasingly unable — or unwilling — to challenge authority or demand genuine accountability. All aspects reinforvced by the mainstream mass media who now hire news readers not analytical news anchors.
Conclusion Across both episodes, the conversation underscores a provocative thesis: that Western citizens have been systematically dumbed down through a cocktail of cultural manipulation, political calculation, mainstream media manipulation and financial dominance. Dr. Taylor contends, that this serves the interests of those who benefit from a passive, compliant, and distracted public.
Listeners can expect a forthright, challenging dialogue that pulls no punches in questioning the health of Western democracy and the resilience of its citizens in the face of elite control.

They suggests that the alignment of big business and political actors promotes short-term expediency over long-term strategy, leaving the average citizen disempowered and distracted. Through advertising, media control, and cultural sponsorship, corporations not only influence consumption but also reinforce the infantilization of society by rewarding conformity and discouraging dissent. The result, they argue, is a Western public increasingly unable — or unwilling — to challenge authority or demand genuine accountability. All aspects reinforvced by the mainstream mass media who now hire news readers not analytical news anchors.
Conclusion Across both episodes, the conversation underscores a provocative thesis: that Western citizens have been systematically dumbed down through a cocktail of cultural manipulation, political calculation, mainstream media manipulation and financial dominance. Dr. Taylor contends, that this serves the interests of those who benefit from a passive, compliant, and distracted public.
Listeners can expect a forthright, challenging dialogue that pulls no punches in questioning the health of Western democracy and the resilience of its citizens in the face of elite control.

How Western governments, the media & billionaires have dumbed us down! (Part 1)
The Black Spy Podcast 207, Season 21, Episode 0008
In this and next week’s two-part edition of The Black Spy Podcast, Dr. Rachel Taylor joins Carlton King to dissect the forces that, she argues, have combined to engineer a less critical, more malleable Western society. Together, they explore how political expediency, cultural trends, and financial power converge to shape the mindset of citizens — often to the advantage of elites.
Together Carlton and Rachel explore Wokeism, Infantilization, Political Expediency and undue influence by Big Business, Billionaires, and the powers that be have dumbed down western styled democracyThe discussion tackles the rise of wokeism as both a cultural movement and a political tool. Dr. Taylor examines how, rather than promoting genuine inclusivity or tolerance, the rhetoric of “wokeness” is often used superficially by politicians and institutions to avoid deeper, more difficult reforms. This, she argues, has infantilized Western youth, encouraging them to view the world through oversimplified moral binaries rather than cultivating resilience, complexity of thought, or responsibility. Carlton and Dr. Taylor ask whether this culture of fragility has left the next generation more dependent, less capable of critical thinking, and easier to manipulate.

The Shocking Effect Of Soap Operas - with Neuroscientist Dr Rachel Taylor (Part 2)
Black Spy Podcast, 206, Season 21, Episode 0007
Over the last two weeks the Black Spy Podcast has analysed soap operas.
Soap operas, as a television genre, trace a significant part of their lineage to Latin American telenovelas, which emerged in Mexico during the mid-20th century. These serialized dramas, often rooted in melodrama, romance, and moral dilemmas, served as cultural exports across Latin America and beyond, blending traditional storytelling with contemporary social issues. The telenovela format’s success lay in its capacity to reflect local cultural norms while also pushing boundaries—presenting themes such as female independence, class mobility, and taboo relationships—sometimes in ways that challenged prevailing social conservatism.
In Britain, long-running staples like Coronation Street (1960–) and EastEnders (1985–) inherited this narrative strategy but adapted it to distinctly British working-class milieus. They were not merely entertainment; they became quasi-social documents, portraying gritty realism in domestic, communal, and romantic life.
Over time, these soaps began to normalize lifestyles and issues that, in broader society, were once marginal—such as same-sex relationships, interracial marriages, non-traditional family structures, and open discussions of mental health, addiction, and gender identity.
Through repetition and integration into everyday plotlines, such narratives subtly influence public attitudes, moving topics from the periphery into the mainstream.
However, as soap operas in Britain have become less realistic, seemingly needing to be more sensational to gain viewers their relevance has lessened and become a tool of a vision of living that could splinter society rather than as was originally the ideal to unite it.
Critics have argued that this gradual social shift is not purely organic. The creative and editorial leadership in major television networks—particularly in Western ‘democracies’ —often emerges from academic, artistic, and cultural sectors that lean left-of-centre politically. This has led to claims that soap operas serve as vehicles for progressive social messaging under the guise of everyday drama. While this perspective risks oversimplifying the complex interplay between audience demand, artistic intent, and institutional culture, it is true that soaps often act as cultural laboratories, introducing and normalizing ideas before they achieve widespread societal acceptance.
In essence, from Mexican telenovelas to British soaps, the genre’s enduring power lies in its ability to reflect life while also reframing it—sometimes in ways that deliberately shift cultural norms toward seemingly more inclusive, and often more seemingly progressive, visions of society.

Britain’s Broken Police System! (Part 2)
Black Spy Podcast, 204, Season 21, Episode 0005
Over this week’s Black Spy Podcast will continue analysing Britain’s broken policing system.
The British policing system is increasingly seen as broken — caught between ideological pressures, a hostile media, disengaged politicians, and internal dysfunction. Once a globally respected model of "policing by consent," UK policing is now the perennial "whipping boy" of the British media, frequently lambasted from all sides. This criticism is partly due to a cultural shift where trust in institutions has declined, but also because policing uniquely occupies a frontline position in enforcing state power — a role that makes it ripe for both legitimate scrutiny and sensationalist scapegoating.
Unlike in many other countries, British politicians rarely champion the police. In the United States or France, political leaders across the spectrum often vocally support their law enforcement institutions, viewing them as essential to national identity and internal security. In contrast, UK politicians tend to distance themselves from the police when controversy arises, often feeding public cynicism rather than countering it. This absence of political backing leaves police officers demoralised and vulnerable to being thrown "under the bus" in times of crisis, rather than being defended or constructively supported.
Popular media plays a significant role in shaping public perceptions. British television dramas and films frequently portray police as racist, misogynist, or institutionally corrupt. While some of these representations are rooted in real scandals, if incomplete understandings such events as the Stephen Lawrence case, the mishandling of rape investigations, or the behaviour of some Metropolitan Police officers — the fictional depiction often magnifies these issues with 1960’s and 70’s generalised stereotypes of police actions that are now way reflective of modern British policing. This creates a public narrative that all officers are morally compromised, poorly trained, or socially regressive, further damaging morale and recruitment. Moreover, policing is a dangerous job, but unlike their colleagues in practically every other police service in the world including the British province of Northern Ireland, mainland British police officers generally have no firearm with which to defend themselves and the public with. As 98% of British are constantly unarmed.
At the same time, UK policing is accused of becoming excessively “woke.” Forces are encouraged to demonstrate social awareness on issues like diversity, inclusion, and gender identity. Critics argue that time spent on symbolic gestures — like dancing at Pride or policing social media posts — detracts from crime prevention and erodes public confidence. However, police are also under relentless scrutiny from every political angle: derided by the left for being oppressive, and by the right for being too politically correct. This contradictory environment makes effective leadership and consistent operational focus nearly impossible.
Recruitment and retention have become serious problems. Policing is no longer seen as a desirable career: the risks are high, pay is relatively low, public respect is diminishing, and the threat of professional ruin following a viral video or policy misstep is ever-present. Consequently, many experienced officers are leaving, while entry standards have been lowered to fill vacancies. Complex educational entry requirements, meant to professionalise the service, have ironically deterred candidates who may be strong in practical, frontline aptitude but not academically inclined.
Internally, management within many forces has become overly bureaucratic, with senior officers often unwilling to support their junior colleagues. Fear of reputational damage and media backlash means command staff are more likely to criticise rank-and-file officers than defend them. This top-down culture promotes self-preservation over solidarity and weakens operational cohesion.
In sum, British policing today is a system adrift — politically abandoned, socially caricatured, ideologically pulled in all directions, and professionally undermined. Without cultural, political and managerial reform, trust in the police will continue to erode, and with it, the very foundations of public safety and civic order.

Britain’s Broken Police System! (Part 1)
Black Spy Podcast, 203, Season 21, Episode 0004
Over the next two weeks the black spy Podcast will look into Britain’s broken policing system with former Metropolitan Police officer - Karl.
The British policing system is increasingly seen as broken — caught between ideological pressures, a hostile media, disengaged politicians, and internal dysfunction. Once a globally respected model of "policing by consent," UK policing is now the perennial "whipping boy" of the British media, frequently lambasted from all sides.

Crime - What is it? (Part 2)
Black Spy Podcast, 202, Season 21, Episode 0003
Over two weeks the black spy Podcast has been looking into what CRIME is by navigating the undermentioned points:
In the UK, the creation of criminal law is the responsibility of Parliament. A crime is not considered such unless it is defined in statute (an Act of Parliament) or recognised under common law (judicial precedent). For example, theft is defined under the Theft Act 1968, while murder is a common law offence. Parliament introduces new criminal offences or modifies existing ones in response to societal change, public concern, or evolving threats—such as terrorism or online abuse. The legislative process involves proposing a bill, debating it in both the House of Commons and House of Lords, and receiving Royal Assent before it becomes law. The judiciary then interprets these laws and ensures they are applied fairly and consistently.
It is important to understand that not all harmful acts are criminal. For instance, a breach of contract may be serious but is dealt with in civil rather than criminal courts. Crime carries an element of public condemnation and involves the state acting against the accused on society’s behalf.
Once a law is in place, enforcement falls primarily to the police. In the UK, policing is carried out by local forces across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, with the Metropolitan Police and other specialised units (such as the National Crime Agency) handling national and transnational threats. Police officers investigate crimes, protect the public, gather evidence, and arrest suspects where appropriate. However, their powers are bounded by legal and ethical frameworks, including the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE), the Human Rights Act 1998, and codes of practice.
The modern police role extends beyond reactive enforcement. Officers are also expected to prevent crime, engage with communities, and build trust. This includes neighbourhood policing, intelligence gathering, and working in partnership with local agencies to address root causes like poverty, drug misuse, or domestic abuse. Increasingly, police use data and technology—such as predictive analytics or body-worn cameras—to support transparency and efficiency.
Ultimately, crime in the UK is a legal construct shaped by democratic processes. The police operate as agents of the law, balancing enforcement with public service, and must always act within the confines of legality and proportionality to maintain legitimacy and uphold justice.

Over the next two weeks the black spy Podcast will look into what CRIME is navigating the undermentioned points.
In the UK, the creation of criminal law is the responsibility of Parliament. A crime is not considered such unless it is defined in statute (an Act of Parliament) or recognised under common law (judicial precedent). For example, theft is defined under the Theft Act 1968, while murder is a common law offence. Parliament introduces new criminal offences or modifies existing ones in response to societal change, public concern, or evolving threats—such as terrorism or online abuse. The legislative process involves proposing a bill, debating it in both the House of Commons and House of Lords, and receiving Royal Assent before it becomes law. The judiciary then interprets these laws and ensures they are applied fairly and consistently.
It is important to understand that not all harmful acts are criminal. For instance, a breach of contract may be serious but is dealt with in civil rather than criminal courts. Crime carries an element of public condemnation and involves the state acting against the accused on society’s behalf.
Once a law is in place, enforcement falls primarily to the police. In the UK, policing is carried out by local forces across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, with the Metropolitan Police and other specialised units (such as the National Crime Agency) handling national and transnational threats. Police officers investigate crimes, protect the public, gather evidence, and arrest suspects where appropriate. However, their powers are bounded by legal and ethical frameworks, including the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE), the Human Rights Act 1998, and codes of practice.
The modern police role extends beyond reactive enforcement. Officers are also expected to prevent crime, engage with communities, and build trust. This includes neighbourhood policing, intelligence gathering, and working in partnership with local agencies to address root causes like poverty, drug misuse, or domestic abuse. Increasingly, police use data and technology—such as predictive analytics or body-worn cameras—to support transparency and efficiency.
Ultimately, crime in the UK is a legal construct shaped by democratic processes. The police operate as agents of the law, balancing enforcement with public service, and must always act within the confines of legality and proportionality to maintain legitimacy and uphold justice.

The consequences of Israeli’s attack on Iran
Black Spy Podcast, 197, Season 20, Episode 0008
In this week’s Black Spy Podcasts, Carlton King looks at the potential consequences of the Israeli attack on Iran.
Immediate Outcomes:
Carlton argues that Israel’s sneak attack on Iran, targeting strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, top military leadership and nuclear scientists and their families during talks with the US to come to a diplomatic arrangement meant Iran must retaliate.
Regional Escalation:
A full-scale war could engulf Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza, with Israel fighting on multiple fronts. Hezbollah's involvement would likely lead to heavy bombardment of northern Israel. Civilian casualties and infrastructure damage could be high on both sides. The conflict might destabilize fragile states like Iraq and further fuel sectarian divisions.
Global Involvement:
The United States, arguably controlled by Israel due to penetration of the US legislature and other key US entities, could be fully drawn in to the conflict either through direct military support for Israel or the defense of Gulf allies and shipping lanes. Conversely, Iran may receive backing—political or logistical—from Russia or China, increasing global tensions. Gulf states like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, already wary of Iranian influence, might support Israel covertly, especially if Iran were to target their oil infrastructure..
Conclusion:
A war between Israel and Iran could rapidly spiral into a broader regional or even global conflict, involving major powers and destabilizing the already fragile Middle East. The best-case future hinges on effective diplomacy and containment; the worst-case scenario risks a devastating, multi-front war with long-term consequences.

Critical Thinking - Can President Putin withstand the clamour for all out war with the West?
Black Spy Podcast, 196, Season 20, Episode 0007
In this week’s Black Spy Podcast, Carlton King argues that the attack on The Russian Federation’s nuclear airborne wing, plus attacks on a civilian train and the Crimean Bridge are playing with nuclear fire.
Carlton argues that it puts at risk nuclear verification treaties, makes the Russian state ask the question whether the West is probing for a first strike nuclear attack and worst of all, it put an inordinate amount of pressure on President Putin to strike back at those who under to and aided the operation. Which is not just Ukraine. So the question is will the Russian president be able to resist the clamour for all out war in the Ukraine and to not be forced by public opinion into war with the main NATO protagonists.

Should Prince Harry have retained Royalty Protection? (Part 2)
Black Spy Podcast, 195, Season 20, Episode 0006
In this week’s Black Spy Podcasts, Carlton King and his compatriots, Firgas Esack and Doctor Rachel Taylor delve into the subject of the provision of state controlled close protection operations.
As they began last week in part one, the team continues looking into the fall out of the court decision on to agree with the UK Home Office and the Metropolitan Police Service to withdraw police close protection from Prince Harry and his family.
The argument played out in the UK Government, Civil Service, Police and finally the High Court was that the withdrawal of Prince Harry’s 24 hour armed close protection was seemingly based on the fact that now Prince Harry is estranged from the British royal family and hence no longer undertaking royal duties, that state, in the form of the Royalty Protection section of the RaSP department (Royalty and Specialist Protection Command) of the Metropolitan Police Service should no longer provide Prince Harry with this state sponsored function. Whereas, Prince Harry’s argument was, that by virtue of his birth into the Royal Family that regardless of his role, he’d still be seen as intrinsically linked to the very essence of the UK and hence be at threat from the UK’s enemies.
Carlton uses his decades of expertise in the UK’s governmental protection, national security and secret intelligence fields to answer the questions on this issue posed by his podcast colleagues. Moreover some surprising connectivity is uncovered by both Firgas and Dr Rachel vis-a-vis Prince Harry’s situation.

What every man MUST know - But doesn’t!
With Dr. Rachel Taylor (Part 2)
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 20, Episode 0002
In this week's, episode 2, of The Black Spy Podcast, regarding the male menopause Dr. Rachel Taylor and Carlton King delve into this often-overlooked subject of the male menopause, or andropause.
As with last week the two explain why their forthcoming book on the issue, should be read by all men and their life partners as the male of our species reaches their 4 decade.
Their book highlights how the Andropause, characterized by a gradual decline in testosterone levels, can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, reduced libido, and cognitive changes. However, despite its significant impact on men's health, male menopause remains under-discussed in both media and society. While female menopause has garnered increasing attention and support, including workplace policies and public health initiatives, the male menopause is frequently dismissed or misunderstood.
The podcast discusses how this disparity may stem from societal expectations that men should remain stoic and unaffected by aging, leading many to suffer in silence.
In these episodes Dr Rachel and Carlton go on to discuss that the implications of unaddressed male menopause are particularly concerning when considering elderly male leaders in positions of power. Symptoms such as impaired decision-making, irritability, and decreased energy levels can affect leadership capabilities, potentially leading to detrimental outcomes in governance and policy-making. The gradual nature of testosterone decline means these changes can go unnoticed, further exacerbating the issue.
Dr. Taylor and King emphasize the need for increased awareness and open dialogue about male menopause. They advocate for comprehensive research and support systems to address this condition, highlighting the importance of recognizing andropause as a legitimate health concern.
By shedding light on this topic, their book and these episodes call for a reevaluation of how society perceives and supports men's health as they age.
In summary, The Black Spy Podcast brings critical attention to issues of the male menopause, challenging societal norms and advocating for greater recognition and support for aging men. The discussion underscores the potential risks of neglecting this issue, particularly among leaders, and calls for a more inclusive approach to health and aging.
As always, please don’t be afraid to contact us and put any questions you might have regarding this issue and any other to any of the Black Spy Podcast team.

What every man MUST know - But doesn’t!
With Dr. Rachel Taylor (Part 1)
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 20, Episode 0001
In this and next weeks episode of The Black Spy Podcast, Dr. Rachel Taylor and Carlton King delve into the often-overlooked subject of the male menopause, or andropause as they explain why their forthcoming book on the issue, should be read by all men and their life partners as the male of our species reaches their 4th decade.
Their book highlights how the Andropause, characterized by a gradual decline in testosterone levels, can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, reduced libido, and cognitive changes. However, despite its significant impact on men's health, male menopause remains under-discussed in both media and society. While female menopause has garnered increasing attention and support, including workplace policies and public health initiatives, the male menopause is frequently dismissed or misunderstood.
The podcast discusses how this disparity may stem from societal expectations that men should remain stoic and unaffected by aging, leading many to suffer in silence.
In these episodes Dr Rachel and Carlton go on to discuss that the implications of unaddressed male menopause are particularly concerning when considering elderly male leaders in positions of power. Symptoms such as impaired decision-making, irritability, and decreased energy levels can affect leadership capabilities, potentially leading to detrimental outcomes in governance and policy-making. The gradual nature of testosterone decline means these changes can go unnoticed, further exacerbating the issue.
Dr. Taylor and King emphasize the need for increased awareness and open dialogue about male menopause. They advocate for comprehensive research and support systems to address this condition, highlighting the importance of recognizing andropause as a legitimate health concern.
By shedding light on this topic, their book and these episodes call for a reevaluation of how society perceives and supports men's health as they age.
In summary, The Black Spy Podcast brings critical attention to issues of the male menopause, challenging societal norms and advocating for greater recognition and support for aging men. The discussion underscores the potential risks of neglecting this issue, particularly among leaders, and calls for a more inclusive approach to health and aging.

Critical Thinking
Is there no such thing as society
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 19, Episode 0010
This week's Critical Thinking Black Spy Podcast ask the question Is there such a thing as society in the West and how does that differ with other parts of the globe.
The Black Spy argues that Margaret Thatcher’s statement, “There is no such thing as society,” is one of her most controversial and often misunderstood quotes.
The statement that comes from a 1987 interview in Woman’s Own magazine, where she emphasized individual responsibility over collective dependency. The Black Spy suggests that what Thatcher meant was not that communities or social bonds don't exist, but that social issues should be addressed by individuals and families taking initiative, rather than relying solely on the state. Thatcher believed too much state intervention eroded personal responsibility and accountability. Her philosophy aligned with neoliberal values—promoting free markets, reduced government spending, and personal ownership. Critics argue this view neglects systemic issues and undermines the social safety net. That said, the Black Spy accepts that many of Thatcher's supporters saw her statement as a call for empowerment and self-reliance.
Carlton sees the quote a symbol of Thatcher’s broader political ideology that continues to spark debate over the balance between individualism and social responsibility in modern governance.

Boys to Men?
Are we infantilising our youth?
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 19, Episode 0009
Have you ever wondered what your children think. Have you been able to sit down and talk to them about how they see the world and their place in it?
Do they worry about their future?
Do you imagine that they think like you?
Was the last thing you wanted to be perceived as, say as a 16 year old, was to be labeled as a child?
Was this perception or wish, subject to the decade in which you were brought up in, coupled with your present age. Are youth thoughts a matter of the class in which one was born were brought up in. Or was British society in the 60’s and 70’s more conditioned to right or wrong, or did lower class citizens simply know their place and their expected limitations?
Well all these questions and many more will be addressed in this week’s Black Spy Podcast, as we delve into the minds of some of today’s 16 year old’s. Their answers might surprise you!

Is Britain a First Rate Power? (Part 2)
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 19, Episode 0008
The United Kingdom today is often described as a first rate power, yet its evolving role on the global stage invites debate. Historically revered for its expansive empire and enduring cultural, legal, and political influence, the UK retains considerable strength. London’s financial markets, world-class educational institutions, and influential media continue to set benchmarks internationally. These factors affirm its status as a first rate power, contributing to robust economic and diplomatic engagement with global partners.
Conversely, critics argue that the UK remains haunted by the legacy of its imperial past, struggling to reconcile colonial history with contemporary values. They contend that unresolved issues from empire have left lingering societal and political challenges, influencing debates over national identity and strategic priorities. In the post-Brexit era, as Britain negotiates new trade agreements and redefines its international alliances, it faces the task of balancing tradition with innovation. Amid shifting geopolitical dynamics, the nation is actively recalibrating its ambitions, asserting its influence through soft power and strategic partnerships.
Ultimately, the UK embodies both resilience and reinvention. It draws upon historical prestige while embracing modern reforms, demonstrating that its relevance is continuously evolving to meet the complex demands of 2025 and beyond. Its future remains debated.

Is Feminism Divisive? (Part 2)
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 19, Episode 0006
The question of whether Feminism is divisive depends on how it is understood and framed in society. One could argue that at its core Feminism advocates for gender equality seeking to dismantle systemic inequalities that disadvantage most women and other marginalized groups.
However, because it challenges long-standing social norms and power structures, it can be divisive, particularly by those who follow more assertive strands of the concept. Of course as with all such issues, those accustomed to the benefits of the status quo, will often find any change negative.
One reason Feminism is seen as divisive is the presence of different feminist ideologies. While mainstream Feminism promotes equality, more radical radical strands critique not just patriarchy but also but also capitalism and other structural forces, sometimes alienating those who do not share these views. Additionally , opponents of Feminism sometimes misrepresent its mainstream goals, framing it as a movement that seeks female superiority as opposed to equality.
Moreover, media portrayal and political rhetoric have contributed to feminism’s divisive image . Sensationalized debates and extreme viewpoints tend to dominate discussions, overshadowing the movement’s broader goals. The podcast also considers the unequal roots 0f feminism, from the suffragettes to their modern day equivalents its white middle class orientation in the West did much for people of a mirror image , but little for their working class or none white sisters. Ultimately, while Feminism can create tension, Feminism’s stated purpose has latterly sought to foster inclusivity, not division, by often advocating for equal rights and opportunities.

REVOLUTION!
Phase One - Trump/Zelensky
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 19, Episode 0004
The Trump/Zelensky debacle in the Oval Office, showed as clearly, as did the Vietnam or Afghanistan end of US engagement optics did, that the United states has ended its adventure in the Ukraine. However, in addition to just this sign that an incoming President wanted to divest himself of a losing, frankly unwinnable war, President Trump is showing a true revolutionary zeal to change the whole US military, industrial and congressional complex. Now transactional business and not secret intelligence driven covert and overt warfare is no longer the preferred model to retain US world-wide hegemony. At least not with a military pier equivalent nation.
Russia's "Special Military Operation" in Ukraine, initiated in February 2022, has been framed by the Kremlin as a response to various historical and geopolitical factors. One narrative emphasizes the presence of far-right elements in Ukraine, drawing connections to nationalist groups active during World War II. However, although most western experts reject the portrayal of Ukraine as a neo-Nazi state, noting that while far-right groups exist, they do not hold significant influence in the government or military, they nevertheless have little to say about such far right units killing 14,000 Russian heritaged Ukrainian civilian citizens since 2016.
In the early stages of the Cold War, Western intelligence agencies, including the CIA and MI6, reportedly collaborated with former Ukrainian nationalist fighters to undermine Soviet authority. These covert operations aimed to exploit anti-Soviet sentiments. This lasted 10 years and saw the reported death of up to a 100,000 Soviet Citizens. In the end though, it has been stated by the west, that this had limited long-term impact.
The 2014 Maidan uprising, which led to the ousting of Ukraine's pro-Russian president, is viewed by Russia as a Western-backed coup that shifted Ukraine towards Euro-Atlantic integration. This assertion is backed up by Sigint in which, Victoria Nuland, the officer in charge of Eastern Europe in the US State Department discussing which Ukrainian’s leaders should or shouldn’t rule the country with the American Ambassador to the Ukraine The recording ends with Nuland saying she’ll have president Biden slap the person they chose to lead Ukraine on the back when they take power!
NATO's eastward expansion since 1991 has been perceived by Russia as a direct threat to its security interests. Despite assurances in the 1990s about limiting NATO's growth, to not one inch outside of the then East Germany, the alliance has incorporated several Eastern European countries, heightening tensions, as it attempted to incorporate the Ukraine.
The Minsk agreements, brokered by Germany and France, aimed to cease hostilities in Eastern Ukraine. Critics argue that, rather than fostering peace, these accords allowed Ukraine to strengthen its military capabilities, which was confirmed by both the German Chancellor Merkel and French President Holland after they left office. This act intensifying conflicts in regions with significant Russian-speaking populations, such as Donbas and Crimea.
In summary, President Trump appeared to validate everything that Russia has hitherto stated is its reason for military actions in Ukraine. The Oval Office statements of President Trump and administration seemed to agree with the justification previously articulated by the Kremlin through a complex interplay of historical grievances, security concerns over NATO's expansion, and perceptions of Western interference in Ukraine's political trajectory meaning their is now little dispute between the US’ causes for war and Russia’s. As Trump continually states, there would have been no war if he were president!

Critical Thinking
Could Gaza become the USA's 51st State?
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 18, Episode 0010
In this week's Black Spy Podcast we attempt to answer the question on most people's lips who have an interest in geo-politics - could Gaza really become the US's 51st State:
President Trump's proposal for the U.S. to "take over" Gaza and transform it into the "Riviera of the Middle East" has sparked widespread controversy and criticism. The plan involves relocating nearly 2 million Palestinians from Gaza to other countries, with the U.S. assuming ownership and redeveloping the territory into a luxury destination. While Trump claims this would bring peace and economic prosperity, the proposal has been condemned as a violation of international law, akin to ethnic cleansing, and a threat to regional stability . Arab states, including Egypt and Jordan, have rejected the idea, emphasizing the need for a two-state solution and the protection of Palestinian rights . Critics argue the plan is impractical, risks radicalizing Palestinians, and could destabilize neighboring countries . Despite Trump's assertion that "everybody loves" the idea, the global backlash suggests it is unlikely to gain traction and may further complicate Middle East peace efforts.
Once again this week's Black Spy podcast has attempted to today’s burning questions, from which we might all learn.

Is Britain Corrupt (Part 2)
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 18, Episode 0009
This week's Black Spy Podcast asks the question: Is Britain, and indeed the West, corrupt?
During part two of this fascinating discussion, Carlton King and Dr. Rachel Taylor suggest that what is all important is the definition and perception of what corruption is. The Black Spy Podcast team argue that corruption involves the abuse of power for personal gain, encompassing both overt acts, such as bribery, and more subtle forms, such as cronyism or undue influence.
So, although there are, in Britain and in many Western nations, robust legal frameworks, independent judiciaries, and a semblance of a free media, supposedly contributing to transparency and accountability, it can not be taken for granted that these measures work. Hence, although the UK has bodies like the the National Audit Office and parliamentary committees tasked with scrutinizing public spending and governance questions, the issue remains live.
Western countries often rank relatively high on indices like Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index, reflecting lower levels of perceived corruption compared to many other regions. But is this correct?
Criticisms of corruption in the West often center on systemic issues rather than overt illegality. Examples of this include lobbying, where wealthy individuals or corporations wield disproportionate influence over policy-making and opportunities for enrichment. This raises ethical concerns, even if it adheres to legal frameworks. The "revolving door" between politics and private industry is another area of lack of scrutiny, as it can blur lines between public service and private interests.
Furthermore, scandals such as the 2009 UK parliamentary expenses controversy or financial misconduct exposed during the 2008 economic crisis demonstrate these vulnerabilities. Similarly, some argue that offshore tax havens linked to Western jurisdictions enable global financial corruption.
Hence, in conclusion, while Britain and the West exhibit relatively low levels of overt corruption, systemic practices and scandals often come to light that suggest that the region is not immune to its own ethical and accountability challenges.
Moreover, the Black Spy Podcast team note that perceptions of corruption often depend on the accepted societal norms, expectations, and evolving definitions of those compiling corruption indices.

So, although there are, in Britain and in many Western nations, robust legal frameworks, independent judiciaries, and a semblance of a free media, supposedly contributing to transparency and accountability, it can not be taken for granted that these measures work. Hence, although the UK has bodies like the the National Audit Office and parliamentary committees tasked with scrutinizing public spending and governance questions, the issue remains live.
Western countries often rank relatively high on indices like Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index, reflecting lower levels of perceived corruption compared to many other regions. But is this correct?
Criticisms of corruption in the West often center on systemic issues rather than overt illegality. Examples of this include lobbying, where wealthy individuals or corporations wield disproportionate influence over policy-making and opportunities for enrichment. This raises ethical concerns, even if it adheres to legal frameworks. The "revolving door" between politics and private industry is another area of lack of scrutiny, as it can blur lines between public service and private interests.
Furthermore, scandals such as the 2009 UK parliamentary expenses controversy or financial misconduct exposed during the 2008 economic crisis demonstrate these vulnerabilities. Similarly, some argue that offshore tax havens linked to Western jurisdictions enable global financial corruption.
Hence, in conclusion, while Britain and the West exhibit relatively low levels of overt corruption, systemic practices and scandals often come to light that suggest that the region is not immune to its own ethical and accountability challenges.
Moreover, the Black Spy Podcast team note that perceptions of corruption often depend on the accepted societal norms, expectations, and evolving definitions of those compiling corruption indices.

TRUMP 2.0 - War or Peace?
Black Spy Podcast - Season 18, Episode 0007
This weeks Black Spy Podcast looks at the potential for the new Donald Trump presidency. What will it bring in the short and the long term to the USA and the world at large.
Will Trump presidency 2.0 bring a return to his signature policies of MAGA and thereby a continuation of his populist approach.
We can expect a focus on America First initiatives, emphasizing domestic manufacturing, energy independence, and stricter immigration controls. Trump may also seek to revive tax cuts and deregulation efforts, aiming thereby to stimulate economic growth and appeal to his MAGA base.
In foreign policy, a Trump administration might prioritize bilateral agreements over multilateral engagements, thereby seeking to end the war in the Ukraine and intervene more strongly in the Middle East to the detriment or possibly advantage of peace.
His actions could also potentially lead to a more US isolationist stance. Relations with China could remain contentious, with a focus on trade imbalances and perceived national security concerns. Trump's approach to NATO and other alliances may also be re-evaluated, emphasizing a transactional view of international relations.
Socially, a Trump presidency could intensify the polarization seen during his first term. Expect a continuation of culture war rhetoric, particularly around issues like education, race, and gender. His administration may push for conservative judicial appointments and policies that align with his base's values.
Overall, a Trump presidency could be characterized by a blend of populism, nationalism, and a contentious political climate, with significant implications for both domestic and international landscapes. The potential for increased division and debate over governance is likely to remain a hallmark of his leadership.

Downfall! - The coming end of the US Empire (Part 2)
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 18, Episode 0006
As we enter 2025, the perceived decline of the U.S. Empire is marked by a confluence of economic, political, and social challenges. Domestically, increasing polarization and political instability have eroded public trust in institutions, leading to a fragmented society. Economic disparities have widened, with a shrinking middle class and rising inflation contributing to discontent. The COVID-19 pandemic further exposed vulnerabilities in the healthcare system and supply chains, prompting calls for systemic reform.
Internationally, the U.S. faces growing competition from rising powers like China and Russia, which have expanded their influence through strategic alliances and economic initiatives, such as the Belt and Road Initiative. The U.S.'s withdrawal from global leadership roles, exemplified by its handling of climate change and international agreements, has diminished its soft power and credibility on the world stage.
Moreover, military overreach and prolonged engagements in the Middle East have strained resources and public support, leading to questions about the sustainability of U.S. foreign policy. As global dynamics shift, the U.S. must navigate a multipolar world where its dominance is increasingly challenged, prompting a reevaluation of its role and strategies in an evolving geopolitical landscape. The combination of these factors signals a significant transformation in the U.S. Empire's standing.

Christmas and New Year TV - What’s the hidden message? (Part 2)
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 18, Episode 0003
In keeping with the Christmas spirit the Black Spy Podcast team continues its geo-political analysis of Xmas and its commercial and state psychological hidden messages:
The scheduling of Christmas and New Year television broadcasts in the UK and beyond often reflects a hidden agenda that intertwines cultural, commercial, and political interests. During this festive period, networks curate programming that emphasizes nostalgia, family values, and community spirit, aiming to attract large audiences. Classic films, holiday specials, and live events are strategically placed to evoke emotional connections and reinforce cultural traditions.
However, beneath this festive veneer lies a commercial motive. Advertisers capitalize on the increased viewership, leading to higher advertising rates and significant revenue for broadcasters. The scheduling often prioritizes big-budget productions and celebrity appearances, which can overshadow smaller, independent projects, raising questions about representation and diversity in media.
Moreover, the choice of programming can subtly influence public sentiment and national identity. For instance, certain narratives may promote specific political ideologies or social values, shaping viewers' perceptions during a time of reflection and resolution. In this way, the festive broadcast schedule serves not only as entertainment but also as a tool for cultural reinforcement and economic gain, revealing the complex interplay between media, society, and commerce during the holiday season.
So, enjoy this and next week’s episodes and continue to be entertained whilst learning and above all don’t forget to subcribe to never miss an episode.

Critical Thinking - Syria: How, Why & What Next?
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 18, Episode 0002
The Syrian conflict, which began in 2011 as part of the broader Arab Spring, has evolved into a complex and multifaceted civil war involving numerous domestic and international actors. Initially sparked by protests against President Bashar al-Assad's regime, the conflict quickly escalated into a violent struggle as the government responded with brutal crackdowns. Over the years, the war has drawn in various foreign powers, each with its own interests and agendas.
The United States has been involved in the conflict primarily through its support for rebel groups, some radical Islamists and due to its fight against the Islamic State (ISIS). Washington has provided military aid and training to these opposition forces, while also conducting airstrikes against ISIS targets. However, the U.S. has been cautious about overt direct involvement against the Assad regime, focusing instead on counterterrorism efforts.
Russia, on the other hand, has been a staunch ally of the Assad government, providing military support that has been crucial in turning the tide of the war in favour of the regime. Since 2015, Russian airstrikes and military advisors have bolstered Assad's forces, allowing them to reclaim significant territory. Russia's involvement is driven by its desire to maintain a foothold in the Middle East and to counter U.S. influence in the region.
The United Kingdom has also played primarily a covert role utilising humanitarian aid plus limited military support to opposition groups. The UK has been involved in airstrikes against ISIS and has supported diplomatic efforts to find a political solution to the conflict. However, its influence has been overshadowed by the more direct interventions of the U.S. and Russia.
Turkey's involvement is particularly significant due to its concerns over Kurdish groups in northern Syria, which it views as extensions of the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party), a designated terrorist organization. Turkey has conducted military operations against both ISIS and Kurdish forces, seeking to establish a buffer zone along its border. Additionally, Turkey has supported various rebel factions, aiming to counteract both the Assad regime and Kurdish influence.
Israel's role in the conflict has been more indirect but nonetheless impactful. Israel has conducted airstrikes against Iranian positions and Hezbollah in Syria, viewing the presence of these groups as a direct threat to its national security. Israel has also provided humanitarian aid to Syrian civilians, but its primary focus remains on countering Iranian influence in the region.
So recent development of the fall of Damascus after Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), led by Abu Muhammad al-Jolani, took Idlib changed matters totally adding another layer of complexity to the conflict. HTS, which evolved from the al-Nusra Front, is clearly the dominant force in the region, albeit that HTS is often at odds with other rebel factions in addition to the Assad regime. Al-Jolani has sought to rebrand HTS as a more moderate entity, attempting to gain legitimacy and support from local populations and international actors. The takeover by HTS has raised concerns among the major powers involved.
In summary, the Syrian conflict is characterized by a web of alliances and enmities among local and international actors, with the recent developments surrounding HTS and al-Jolani further complicating an already volatile situation. The interplay of U.S., Russian, UK, Turkish, and Israeli interests will still continue to shape the trajectory of this war weary country.

“Black Ops – The incredible true story of a (Black) British secret agent”
Oh Oh Oh - The Contemporary Geo-Politics of a Christmas Carol
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 18, Episode 0001
In keeping with the Christmas spirit the Black Spy Podcast team brings you an analysis of a classic piece of Christmas literature through the prism of contemporary events, so hold your Victorian horses and step inside this brilliant and entertaining Christmas podcast.
Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," while set in Victorian England, offers profound insights into socio-economic disparities, moral responsibility, and the human capacity for change, themes that resonate powerfully in the context of contemporary geopolitics in 2024. The narrative revolves around Ebenezer Scrooge, a miser who embodies the era's capitalist excesses, and his transformative journey prompted by the visitations of three spirits. This tale can be viewed as an allegory for the moral imperatives facing today's global leaders, particularly in a world grappling with inequality, climate change, and the consequences of capitalism.
Economic Inequality and Social Responsibility
In "A Christmas Carol," Scrooge’s initial indifference to the plight of the impoverished reflects a broader socio-economic divide that is alarmingly prevalent today. As of 2024, the world faces stark economic inequalities exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis, and geopolitical tensions. Wealth concentration among the elite has reached staggering levels, with a significant portion of the global population struggling to meet basic needs.
The Ghost of Christmas Present reveals to Scrooge the harsh realities faced by the Cratchit family, particularly Tiny Tim, whose health and future are jeopardized by their poverty. This aspect of the story mirrors contemporary discussions around social safety nets and the need for governments to intervene in markets to ensure equitable access to resources, healthcare, and education. Just as Scrooge is called to acknowledge his moral responsibility to others, today's leaders are similarly challenged to address systemic inequalities and implement policies that foster social welfare.
Environmental Concerns and Global Responsibility
The spectre of climate change looms large in contemporary geopolitics, echoing the moral awakening experienced by Scrooge. The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of neglect and greed. In 2024, the planet faces unprecedented environmental challenges, with extreme weather events and biodiversity loss underscoring the urgent need for collective action.
Many governments and organizations are grappling with the ethical implications of their environmental policies, much like Scrooge's eventual realization that his actions have far-reaching consequences. The Paris Agreement and subsequent climate accords represent attempts to foster global cooperation, yet the disparity in commitment levels among nations reflects the ongoing struggle between economic interests and moral imperatives. Scrooge’s transformation symbolizes the potential for leaders to evolve from self-interest to a broader commitment to sustainability and stewardship.
War, Peace, and Humanitarian Obligations
The geopolitical landscape of 2024 is also marked by ongoing conflicts and humanitarian crises, from the war in Ukraine to various regional disputes in the Middle East and Africa. The indifference of Scrooge to the suffering around him parallels the apathy of some global leaders toward humanitarian needs. In Dickens' narrative, the moral awakening of Scrooge leads him to philanthropy and community engagement, a lesson that resonates with the contemporary need for nations to prioritize diplomacy and humanitarian aid.
As nations grapple with the consequences of war, including displacement and poverty, the call for empathy and action becomes increasingly urgent. Just as Scrooge’s character is redeemed through acts of kindness and generosity, modern leaders are similarly tasked with recognizing their interconnectedness and the moral obligation to assist those in need, regardless of borders.
Conclusion
In conclusion, "A Christmas Carol" serves as a timeless reflection on the human condition and the responsibilities we hold toward one another. Through the lens of 2024's geopolitical landscape, Dickens' narrative underscores the importance of addressing economic inequality, environmental degradation, and humanitarian crises. The lessons learned by Scrooge are as relevant today as they were in the 19th century, reminding us that true leadership requires compassion, accountability, and a commitment to the common good.

Biden & Starmer are playing Russian roulette with your life!
(A critical thinking special edition)
Black Spy Podcast, Season 17, Episode 0009
This week’s Black Spy Podcast had to be recorded.
If one cast one’s mind back two weeks, regular listeners will know that because I feared that the USA, the UK and collectively NATO were effectively goading Russia into nuclear war, I recorded three episodes on the issue. Unfortunately, I’m now explaining how this has got extraordinarily more critical!
So, how has this occurred?
I postulate that by giving Ukraine a blank cheque, a’ la that given to ‘little’ Serbia that lead to WW1 or frankly, that given by the US to Israel today, nuclear war has become almost inevitable.
You see, whenever the tail wags the dog, great damage can be done.
Therefore, with the Ukraine sponsored and supported to fire US, UK and possibly French missiles directly on to Russian soil, a line has been crossed that highly likely leads to WW3.
In short, I fear for our lives!
With Starmer attempting to make the UK relevant post Brexit, by being the bull dog in NATO that allows its personnel to target our Storm Shadow missiles directly at Russian soil; and, with Biden’s Neocon administration desperate to give Trump no choice but to continue propagating the Ukraine war to sustain US Hegemony by hitting Russia with its longer range missiles, miscalculations can easily lead to direct war with Russia.
Hence, I highlight to listeners how close we are to the point of no return.
This episode explores, analyses and assesses this situation, which in the blink of an eye, could leave hundreds of millions of us in Europe dead; not to mention the USA and possibly many other parts of the world.
So don’t be afraid to contact us and put any questions you might have to any of the Black Spy Podcast team concerning this or any other of our episodes.

Critical Thinking
Return of the Trump! (Part 2)
Black Spy Podcast, Season 17, Episode 0008
President Donald Trump has won the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election so now this week what we needed to concentrate on in part 2 was his choices - vis-a-vis his top governmental team. The team he has chosen since I recorded this episode fills me with disappointment and not a little fear, as many of the team are clear Zionist and even Neocons. Hence, albeit that Trump says he doesn’t want war, his Neocon time may well lead us to war particularly in support of Israel and possibly also against China. So, although we need to wait and see, last weeks right up below is still applicable.
Trumps administration, even though Neocon will most likely prioritize a return to Trump’s previous domestic economic policies, emphasizing tax cuts and deregulation to stimulate growth. Trump may reinstate tariffs on foreign goods, particularly targeting China, to protect American industries and reduce trade deficits. This approach could lead to heightened tensions in international trade relations.
In foreign policy, Trump has expressed a desire to end U.S. involvement in the Ukraine conflict, advocating for negotiations rather than military support. His stance on Israel may remain supportive of Prime Minister Netanyahu, potentially overlooking the complexities of the Gaza situation while emphasizing Israel's right to defend itself. Trump's administration might adopt a more hands-off approach regarding the West Bank and Palestinian issues, focusing instead on strengthening U.S.-Israel ties.
Regarding China, Trump could escalate confrontational rhetoric, particularly concerning Taiwan, as he aims to assert U.S. interests in the Indo-Pacific region. However, he may also seek to avoid direct military conflict, preferring economic measures and diplomatic pressure.
Overall, Trump’s presidency would likely reflect a blend of nationalism and isolationism, with a focus on American interests while navigating complex global challenges.
This is another must listen episode with every angle being assessed, analysed and discussed.

This week's Black Spy Podcast is part one of a two part critical thinking analysis of what now President elect Donald Trump might do now we know he has won the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. Carlton suggests that the new Trump's administration is likely prioritize a return to his previous domestic economic policies, emphasizing tax cuts and deregulation to stimulate growth.

Surviving the Nuclear Conflict (Part 2)
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 17, Episode 0006
The first two episodes in this three series view of nuclear war spoke covered running up to nuclear war and the second episode discussed whereabouts we were on the path towards nuclear war. This week’s and next week episodes are aimed at discussing what will happen if the nuclear missiles actually begin to be fired!
The First World War broke out due to competing empires lobbying for power.
A waning British Empire sought to maintain its number one position in the world, The Russian Empire, seeking to maintain its position in the East vis-a-vis the Austro-Hungarian Empire, supported Serbia.
An industrially expanding German Empire, which had come late to the imperial game, provided Austro-Hungary with a blank check to draw on Germany's resources and military power to hold Serbia and hence Russia in check, limiting Russia's power throughout Eurasia.
France, noting with alarm the increasing German power, sought British assistance to outmanoeuvre the German Reich.
Hence, when expansion from limited war to an all embracing conflict appeared inevitable; the patch work of alliances still held strong and the various guarantees of mutual support came into play.
So, it was, that in July 1914 war on a global scale broke out, as after all, warfare is nothing more than diplomacy by other means as noted by German General Carl Von Clausewitz.
In Britain, this war to end all wars, was sold to the masses as a conflict to prevent the expansion of negative forces set on dominating the free world.
So the question was, who were these negative forces?
In an imperial world, which empire’s subjugation of other peoples and countries, was in any way benign?
Where not all empires negative and exploitive?
And indeed, by definition, wasn't the biggest empire the most exploitive.
Finally, why did these empires believe that the threat of the use of arms against a competing empire/nation, would prevent armed conflict, rather than stoke it?
Hence, a hundred years later, we can see the same mechanisms at play as in 1914, only this time, there is one major difference.
Any armed conflict between the major powers and their allies, is highly likely to lead to thermonuclear war, thereby threatening the very existence of human kind!
Over the next two weeks we will also assess how a nuclear war could/will occur now, and after the nuclear exchange what any post nuclear world will be like.

Surviving the Nuclear Conflict (Part 1)
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 17, Episode 0005
The first two episodes in this three series view of nuclear war spoke covered running up to nuclear war and the second episode discussed whereabouts we were on the path towards nuclear war. This week’s and next week episodes are aimed at discussing what will happen if the nuclear missles actually begin to be fired!
The First World War broke out due to competing empires lobbying for power.
A waning British Empire sought to maintain its number one position in the world, The Russian Empire, seeking to maintain its position in the East vis-a-vis the Austro-Hungarian Empire, supported Serbia.
An industrially expanding German Empire, which had come late to the imperial game, provided Austro-Hungary with a blank check to draw on Germany's resources and military power to hold Serbia and hence Russia in check, limiting Russia's power throughout Eurasia.
France, noting with alarm the increasing German power, sought British assistance to outmanoeuvre the German Reich.
Hence, when expansion from limited war to an all embracing conflict appeared inevitable; the patch work of alliances still held strong and the various guarantees of mutual support came into play.
So, it was, that in July 1914 war on a global scale broke out, as after all, warfare is nothing more than diplomacy by other means as noted by German General Carl Von Clausewitz.
In Britain, this war to end all wars, was sold to the masses as a conflict to prevent the expansion of negative forces set on dominating the free world.
So the question was, who were these negative forces?
In an imperial world, which empire’s subjugation of other peoples and countries, was in any way benign?
Where not all empires negative and exploitive?
And indeed, by definition, wasn't the biggest empire the most exploitive.
Finally, why did these empires believe that the threat of the use of arms against a competing empire/nation, would prevent armed conflict, rather than stoke it?
Hence, a hundred years later, we can see the same mechanisms at play as in 1914, only this time, there is one major difference.
Any armed conflict between the major powers and their allies, is highly likely to lead to thermonuclear war, thereby threatening the very existence of human kind!

The road to nuclear armageddon
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 17, Episode 0004
This week's Black Spy podcast is a continuation of last week's but with the direct reflection on the present situation in the world as we actually travel on a road that almost inevitably leads to thermonuclear war. Hence, last week's explanation of our present situation and the geo-politcs of war still holds true for this week's episode:
The First World War broke out due to competing empires lobbying for power.
A waning British Empire sought to maintain its number one position in the world, The Russian Empire, seeking to maintain its position in the East vis-a-vis the Austro-Hungarian Empire, supported Serbia.
An industrially expanding German Empire, which had come late to the imperial game, provided Austro-Hungary with a blank check to draw on Germany's resources and military power to hold Serbia and hence Russia in check, limiting Russia's power throughout Eurasia.
France, noting with alarm the increasing German power, sought British assistance to outmanoeuvre the German Reich.
Hence, when expansion from limited war to an all embracing conflict appeared inevitable; the patch work of alliances still held strong and the various guarantees of mutual support came into play.
So, it was, that in July 1914 war on a global scale broke out, as after all, warfare is nothing more than diplomacy by other means as noted by German General Carl Von Clausewitz.
In Britain, this war to end all wars, was sold to the masses as a conflict to prevent the expansion of negative forces set on dominating the free world.
So the question was, who were these negative forces?
In an imperial world, which empire’s subjugation of other peoples and countries, was in any way benign?
Where not all empires negative and exploitive?
And indeed, by definition, wasn't the biggest empire the most exploitive.
Finally, why did these empires believe that the threat of the use of arms against a competing empire/nation, would prevent armed conflict, rather than stoke it?
Hence, a hundred years later, we can see the same mechanisms at play as in 1914, only this time, there is one major difference.
Any armed conflict between the major powers and their allies, is highly likely to lead to thermonuclear war, thereby threatening the very existence of human kind!
Consequently, this week's Black Spy Podcast continues the theme of how nuclear war could/will occur in the very near future and next week's episode will try to provide an fully assessed view of what the aftermath of a nuclear exchange might well be like.

Is mainstream Western media news, often FAKE News? (Part 2)
Black Spy Podcast, Season 17, Episode 0002
In this week’s Black Spy podcast Carlton King asks specialist New journalist and PR DAPS Agency boss, Firgas Esack, about the mainstream mass media, its hold on Western citizen’s Weltanschauung and questions whether the media properly undertakes it role as the fourth estate - which in our so called democratic system is meant to hold governments, state bodies and the powerful to account!
Dr Rachel Taylor additionally explains how the brain works to the advantage of governments wishing to inculcate their citizens with particular points of view that are favourable to them, their agencies, their leading officials and their billionaire backers.
Thereby, fake news' modus operandi is to effectively narcotise the masses who utilise the mass media for information.
Finally, in this debate, Carlton also points to the dark arts utilised by governments their intelligence and security agencies and the various other bodies that politicians control to pump their propaganda via the media and other tools to their citizens.
In short the Black Spy Podcast asks citizens to think for themselves, to assess situations from an analysed and researched perspective and to dig as deeply as possible into history to gain a full and proper overview of ant situations or conflict.

Shocking Truth - How the USA destroyed Germany’s economy!
Black Spy Podcast, Season 16, Episode 0007
This week’s Black Spy Podcast is one in Carlton’s series of Critical Thinking and hence, asks a question that for most listeners might appear insane - “Did the United State of American set out to destroy its primary mainland European ally’s economy?” Moreover, Carlton postulates that the Neocon powers that be, will also have considered that by doing this, the US might cause German citizens to seek an alternative form of government which might potentially lead to the demise of the European Union?
So is it crazy to think that the US would purposely undermine the primary economic powerhouse of the European continent?
Well listen to this week’s Critical Thinking Black Spy Podcast to find out.

White Riots!
UK on Fire!
Are the government and the media to blame?
With Dan the Man
Black Spy Podcast, Season 16, Episode 0006
This week, Dan the man seeks Carlton’s thoughts on the UK riots that have plagued areas of the UK over the previous month and asks are these riots the consequence of various UK governments and the British mass media creating a climate of hatred and division throughout British society?
Dan asks whether UK society and indeed the West have created an everyone against ever one society?
Instead of community, there are now communities.
Women are against men, gays against, straights, young against old, black against white against brown; religions of all types scapegoated by those with no religion or those with other religions, not to mention rich against poor and the British middle, upper, working class and indeed no class against each other.
Moreover, in particular, white men are feeling scapegoated by all, with the so called woke see men, in particular, white middle and upper class men given responsibility for all ills of British society, whilst women have no responsibility. Consequently white working class men deflect all their problems onto the perceived none native citizens of colour or indeed actual non-white immigrants!
And finally, and indeed possibly most importantly, bad political actors from the right and left wing (extremist or not), utilise all of the above to form even greater fissures and fractures in British society, to create their aims of White supremist and Nationalist race wars or a revolutionary Socialist nirvana buy utilising Britain’s middle class powers that be to undermine British society.
Most importantly, the body tasked with keeping this whole issue in check, the police, are utilised as a political football by all in power.
Finally, the previous tactic utilised by police to assess and monitor all of the above groups that would undermine British society is no longer available to the body; which leaves the courts to seemingly control the situation by over sentencing white rioters as a deterrence and hence playing into future white supremacist recruitment.
This is another must listen Black Spy Podcast episode with every angle being assessed, analysed and discussed.

Black Spy Podcast Season 16, Episode 0002
In this week’s second episode regarding pornography, the Black Spy Podcasts, Carlton King and his compatriots, Firgas Esack and Doctor Rachel Taylor delve deep into the phenomenon that is porno industry and asks the question “Is pornography harmful?
Is porno something that we should be clamping down on?
Should we allow it’s propagation?
Should we treat it like any other “art” form?
Indeed, should it be allowed to move forward without having even more severe restrictions placed on it than at present?
All of these issues are considered in this week’s fantastic perspective into this ubiquitous internet “art” form, as we did last week.
As per normal in our geopolitical investigations we leave no holes barred putting everything up for consideration, as we follow the money and explore how powerful the porno industry actually is.

Conspiracy Theories - Or an epithet to hide used to hide inconvenient truths? (Part 2)
Black Spy Podcast Season 15, Episode 0007
This week's Black Spy Podcast continues looking into the phenomenon of conspiracy theories and asks the question, are the powers that be attempting to fool us by labelling issues of covert manipulation or control, as theories of conspiracy.
Indeed, Carlton and his regular panel, the throuple, ask the question, what makes something a conspiracy theory rather than a reportage of fact.
In this vein Carlton cites some of the issues he’s dealt with in the secret world that the ‘ruling system’ would like the general populace to believe are conspiracy theories devoid of reality.
So, once again this week’s Black Spy Podcast needs no long write up, as part two of this discussion, like part one, let’s the discussion amongst the throuple fully air this issue.
Hence, if you’ve ever had an interest in the world of secret intelligence, national security, espionage, geo-politics and governmental close protection operations then Carlton’s recollections and points in this week’s episode follows on from last week’s discussions.
And, if you’ve wondered why the mainstream mass media cover ‘story’ ‘A’ and not story ‘B’. Or you’ve asked yourself how does the mainstream mass media function and what are the pressures on it to run various ‘stories’ and not others; then long term mainstream mass media Journalist, Firgas Esack, informs you about this.
Finally, if you’ve wanted to know how the human brain plays into theories of conspiracy, the Dr Rachel Taylor, explains the neuro biology of this process.
Consequently this is truly, once again, a must listen episode of the Black Spy podcast.

Critical Thinking - Was D-Day really the turning point of WW2 (Part 2)?
Black Spy Podcast Season 15, Episode 0005
This week’s Black Spy Podcast turns its attention to the D-Day, WW2 and wars in general.
On the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, which occurred on the 6th of June in 1944, we see that the event has been utilised to distort to an even greater extent, the actual relevance of the event for geo-political purposes.
Carlton asks listeners to consider WW2 in its entirety so they can then assess the relevance of D-Day to the overall war effort.
Carlton notes that there is little doubt, and it is totally factual, that the D-Day landings represented the largest and indeed greatest amphibious military landings of all time - which Carlton argues will probably never be repeated.
What Carlton discusses however, is the relevance of the D-Day landings to the overall defeat of Nazi Germany and its allies in Europe, during the conflict.
Consequently, if you have an interest in the brave men and indeed women who fought in WW2 in any branch of the war effort, such as Carlton’s father, then you too must listen to these episodes. This is not least the case, because Carlton rejects the propaganda citizens have been feed since the end of WW2, as to which country actually primarily defeated Nazi Germany. Carlton also provides individuals with information most will never have considered about WW2’s casualty figures.
These are must listen episodes for anybody with the slightest interest in geo-politics.

43% of all MPs have criminal convictions! (IPSA/2012) - So, do the UK electorate get the Parliament they deserve? (Part 2)
Black Spy Podcast Season 15, Episode 0003
This week’s Black Spy Podcast sees the return of the terrible two, in part 2 of the question: ‘does the British electorate get the parliament it deserves?’ Regardless of which party wins a general election.
The incredible banner headline, highlighting the fact that out of the 650 MPs in Britain’s Parliament in 2012, an unbelievable 243 (43%) had criminal convictions. This included members of parliament who actually served terms of imprisonment!
(The above data was provided by Parliament’s own inspection body - The IPSA (The Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority)
Interestingly, in 2021 MPs, had the gall to challenge London's Metropolitan Police Commissioner for having,150 police officer with convictions, within the force's over 30,000 strong police ranks. (This was less than 0.5% of all the force's police officers!)
(Note: practically all of these convictions were gained prior to officers being recruited into the service)
It is worth remembering that MPs have one of the most powerful roles in British society, in that they are responsible for making the laws that we all live by. Whereas, all the police officers do, is to enforce these laws.
The Black Spy and his panel, also discussed the conviction, or lack thereof, of the various political party leaders, and indeed politicians in general. Consequently, the team assessed in a more general manner, the truthfulness of politicians, their reasons for gaining and remaining in power and the generous level of remuneration, about £100,00 per year and an equally generous opportunity to claim a multitude of additional expenses.
Finally the team considered every aspect of electioneering, geo-political processes of government, the make up of government and the constitutional position of elections in the UK. Additionally they debated all aspects of the UK globally, including the UK's involvement in the Ukraine, costing at least ten billion pounds and the UK's policy of following the USA into all its foreign adventures in its attempt to remain the global hegemon.

Suzanne Noble - The Life & Times of an American Woman in Britain
Black Spy Podcast Season 15, Episode 0001
This week’s Black Spy Podcast turns its attention to the interesting life and times of 63 year old American (now also British) female entrepreneur of many talents, Suzanne Nobel.
In her terrific life story, Suzanne begins by detailing her family’s journey from their home in New York to their arrival in the UK, where her father took up a lucrative executive banking post in the City of London.
Interestingly, she notes that her first impressions of 1970’s Britain were that it was somewhat old fashioned and backward. After all, this was the era when the United States appeared economically, culturally and above all, militarily unassailable.
We later learn that Suzanne’s go-getting temperament that didn’t allow her to be side tracked was potentially fostered by her teenage schooling in various American military and civilian schools in the South East England. However, Carlton and Suzanne also consider that this winning attitude may well have been down to a more complex mix of the age old question of nurture versus nature.
We will not spoil listeners enjoyment of the depth and scope of this Black Spy Podcast episode by telling you to much about the content. But suffice to say, this episode is another extremely entertaining Black Spy Podcast episode.
Moreover, if you are a woman of a certain age, this episode may will be of particular interesting to you. However, women of all ages can learn from this podcast, as indeed can all humans globally; by noting the importance of having a lust for life.

Is the Covid 19 vaccine killing people? (Part 2)
Black Spy Podcast Season 14, Episode 0010
The controversy concerning the COVID-19 vaccine is now becoming known, so in this week's black spy podcast we address this phenomenon.
Hence the black spy, Carlton king, discusses this issue with his erstwhile regular partner, Doctor Rachel Taylor.
Dr Rachel has on many occasions Stated that she was not happy if the COVID-19 vaccine and indeed did not take the vaccine herself.
Her reasoning was dead simple, although she accepts that the MRNA vaccines can function if they are tailored to the individual human, she was alarmed that such a vaccine was provided to humans in generalised format and not specifically tailored to an individual’s DNA. In short Dr Rachel’s objection is that with gene manipulation, one size never fits all!
Dr Rachel argues vaccines like the MRNA Covid vaccines literally modify an individuals a capacity to deal with a particular illness or disease at a molecular level, so can never be treated lightly.
Consequently we discuss the safety, efficacy of the vaccine and many other issues relating to this gene level treatment.
Finally, we discuss the geo-politics of Covid 19, its provenance, and the fact that some strange affects on individuals that are beginning to be reported by a not insignificant number of undertakers from the USA, the UK and Australia. These issues are large, long blood clots, tiny clots, a brown coffee grain type clotting of the blood know a dirty blood and other such abnormal clotting which are unique to the post 2020 Covid vaccine era.
Again this week’s the Black Spy Podcast provides its listeners with an enlightened, entertaining and interesting weltanschauung.

Finally, they discuss the geo-politics of Covid 19, its provenance and the fact that strange effects on individuals are beginning to be reported by a significant undertakers in the USA, the UK and Australia. The primary issue is that long intestine like blood clots have been found, as well as tiny microscopic clots and brown coffee grain type clots, known as dirty blood have been noted post 2020 Covid vaccine was administered.
So once again, this week’s the Black Spy Podcast provides its listeners with an enlightened, entertaining and interesting analysis on a currant under reported issue.

The Black Spy Podcast, Season 14, Episode 0008
This week's Black Spy Podcast is another in the series of Carlton’s Critical Thinking series and in this, part 2 of the Armageddon episode, Carlton poses the question: ‘Is the United States capable of sharing power as it’s out performed economically and industrially and thereby is required to relinquish the role of sole super power gained after the fall of the Soviet Union?’ In short, can US governments and power brokers, accept the loss of their unipolar hegemony, or will the USA bring the world system tumbling down.
Are we on the road to Armageddon. .
Carlton analysis takes account of the wars around the world, honing in on The Ukraine and NATO against Russia, Israel, supported by the US, UK, France Germany and Jordan, in conflict with Palestinians, and the Iranian ‘axis of resistance’, The move towards war by the US supporting Taiwan against the People’s Republic of China, as well as the economic ears of sanctions and restricts undertaken by the US and the growth of BRICS to combat these economic threats, leading to the decline of the US Dollar as the worlds reserve currency.
Carlton poses the question will extremely dangerous miss calculations be made leading to an apocalypse?

In this week's Black Spy Podcast Carlton continues the discussion regarding the much hidden topic of sexual, physical and psychological abuse in Britain’s top flight super expensive historical fee paying Public Boarding schools - which, ironically are in no way state provided or sponsored schools.
Again this week Carlton’s four person panel - including Firgas Esack, Dr. Rachel Taylor special guest Sean Hawie and of course Carlton continue to delve deeply into the issue.
As mentioned last week its worth noting that with the exception of Carlton, all three other panelist went to fee paying school’s with Firgas and Sean attending the traditional historically prestigious fee paying private boarding schools - known as Public Schools in Britain. Dr. Rachel Taylor, attended a less historically prestigious fee paying day attendance private school, as opposed to a Public School.
Listener’s should note that Britain’s Public Schools were established during Britain’s early Imperial era for the sons of those who would rule the countries that made up the British Empire, which at it’s high in the 1920’s, consisted of over a third of the world’s population and a third of the globe’s land mass. As the imperial saying went, ‘The sun never set on the British Empire’!
The make up of the panel could well foreshadow this discussion as, still today, those that attend such private schools (particularly the very expensive public schools) end up as Prime Ministers, other senior politicians, Judges, top flight Civil Servants, Clergymen and business patricians. So, even though only 1% of Britain’s youth attend such private schools, their alumni hold many primary roles in Britain’s society, albeit not generally in the entrepreneurial technically orientated cutting edge knowledge based industrial arena.
The other, negative and often unmentioned aspect of such schools, (particularly Public Schools) is the bullying, sexual, physical and psychological abuse that is perpetuated in such schools by teachers (masters/Lay staff) and students alike.
Once again Carlton asks the questions that you want to know, but where the established mass media will not tread. Again this week the Black Spy Podcast provides its listeners with an enlightened, entertaining and interesting podcast.

In this week's Black Spy Podcast Carlton discusses the much hidden topic of sexual, physical and psychological abuse in Britain’s top flight super expensive historical fee paying Public Boarding schools - which, ironically are in no way state provided or sponsored schools.
This week Carlton has on his panel - Firgas Esack, Dr. Rachel Taylor and special guest Sean Hawie. Interestingly, with the exception of Carlton, all three other panelist went to fee paying school’s with Firgas and Sean attending the traditional historically prestigious fee paying private boarding schools - known as Public Schools in Britain. Dr. Rachel Taylor, attended a less historically prestigious fee paying day attendance private school, as opposed to Britain’s traditional ‘Public Schools’ created during Britain’s early Imperial era for the sons of those who would rule the countries that made up the British Empire.

So, even though only 1% of Britain’s youth attend such private school, their alumni hold many primary roles, out with the entrepreneurial technically orientated cutting edge knowledge based industrial roles, in Britain.
However, the other, negative and often unmentioned aspect of such schools, (particularly Public Schools) is the bullying, sexual, physical and psychological abuse that is perpetuated in such schools by teachers (masters/Lay staff) and students alike.

US Author, Publicist and Entrepreneur - Charles D’Amico - considers the American Dream (Part Two)
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 14, Episode 0002
This week's Black Spy Podcast continues Carlton discussion with Charles D’Amico the award winning American, author, publisher, and entrepreneur whose Neil Baggio novels have gained some success.
Carlton and Charles explore Charles’ up bringing, analyse what Americans consider to be the middle class and discuss the advantage ‘elite’ schooling provides, both academically, and no less importantly in terms of post education employment, provides in terms of contacts, connections and opportunities.
The guys consider the importance of a strong work ethic, opportunity of employment and indeed luck - in order to attain success. In short, Carlton and Charles consider the celebrated American Dream.
Furthermore, Charles outlines his award winning Neil Baggio series of novels, as well as his two book publishing companies which provide budding authors with the opportunity to have their books published and propagated.
Carlton also seeks to gain an inside view of the geo-politics of book publishing, in what is a world of mass domestic and foreign information warfare and psychological operations designed to orientate the public to think in certain ways.
Finally, Carlton and Charles discuss Charles fast food empire and the state of politics in the USA today.
Hence this is another extremely wide ranging debate over two superb episodes.
So, once again, the Black Spy Podcast provides listeners with another entertaining and interesting podcast.

Oscar Pistorius, Celebrity Crime, The Media, Justice, The Police & Wealth (Part Two)
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 13, Episode 0010
This week's Black Spy Podcast continues observing the connection between Celebrity Crime, advantage and the media. At the same time we also consider the 180 degrees opposite to this advantage, in that often, their very celebrity brings their faux pars to light, making them difficult, if not almost impossible to hide. Moreover, as the media has a vested interest in bringing any celebrity news to light, any negative celebrity actions sell exponentially to the masses who crave any information about such celebrates placed in newspapers, or broadcast on TV and now in social media. This new angle, Social Media, has changed the previous monopoly of state mass media who had previously ruled the roust.
Geo-Politically, we ask if this celebrity infatuation corrupts the justice system, by celebs obtaining the best legal advice possible to gain the low sentences or even acquittals that would not be open to less wealthy everyday citizens.
In part two, listeners will also hear how undermining of the police by politicians and their attack dogs the media, has changed the public’s perception of the British police, its capabilities, and even the desire of citizen to the police service. Hence this becomes an extremely wide ranging debate over two episodes.
So once again the Black Spy Podcast goes where other media outlets tend never to tread or don’t even consider assessing.

Interview with ‘Agent of the Iron Cross’ author, Historian - Bill Mills
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 13, Episode 0006
This week's Black Spy Podcast looks at a little known part of secret intelligence history of WW1, where Imperial Germany covertly attacked the USA to prevent it supporting The British, French and Russian Empires in the WW1; even prior to the USA’s entry into WW1 on the side of the British et’al in 1917.
In listening to my exclusive podcast with Bill Mills, listeners will get to hear the astounding story of this German WW1 and indeed pre WW1 activity and the world wide scope of such intelligence operations.
Listeners will also hear how multifaceted intelligence operations are and Carlton lets listeners note that the overarching and wide ranging spread of espionage, subversive and sabotage operations are no less wide ranging in today’s modern world.
Finally, one can also learn from this fantastic episode, how susceptible even the most supposedly stable countries are, to fractures and fissures being sown in their societies when grievances are highlighted by bad or even righteous actors.

BREXIT comes home to roost!
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 12, Episode 0007
This week, with Nigel Farage in the I'm a Celebrity get me out of here Jungle in Australia, Carlton explores Farage's Brexit legacy.
Carlton highlights the few wealthy UK Brexit winners and the very, very many everyday middle and working class British losers from leaving the European Union.
Additionally Carlton touches on the problems that the UK has suffered since Brexit including the lessening of the UK's international importance. Finally, Carlton also tries to assess why some Brits, believing in the implausible renaissance of the British Empire, would vote for something that would doubtless damage them and their country seemingly to keep immigrants out.
So, once again this is another Black Spy Podcast episode that goes where other media outlets fear to tread.

Critical Thinking
What is Terrorism & is Hamas a Terrorist organisation (Part 2)
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 12, Episode 0006
This is week two of Carlton’s exploration of the extremely current topic of Terrorism!
In line with all of Carlton’s previous Critical Thinking episodes Carlton asks you to think outside of the box and around the subject, to the point that he asks you - the listener - to explore why you think what you think, and to question why you have been told to think in this manner?
Carlton touches on countless issues and provides several examples to explain his hypothesis.
Carlton challenges the very essence of state phycological operations (Psyops) and the labelling, wrongly or rightly, politicians provide to their public designed to infer anger, enmity and distrust towards the bodies on whom they bestow this ‘Terrorist’ mantle.
So, once again this is another Black Spy Podcast episode that goes where other media outlets fear to tread.

Critical Thinking - Black History Month Special - Who is Black & Why it matters? (Part 2)
Black Spy Podcast - Season 12, Episode 0002
This week’s episode of the black spy podcast is a critical thinking episode for Black History Month, in which Carlton asks – who is it Black and why does it matter?
Carlton looks at the politics of blackness including who has decided who is and isn't classed as “Black” through the centuries. Moreover, in terms of a phenotype, what do Black people look like.
Carlton asks if its credible that Black people are only seen as one absolutely particular type of ethnic group with no variation of skin colour in nose shape, lip shape etc; whereas White people (Caucasians) can be of any hair colour blonde, dark, ginger to curly hair, to straight hair. They can have thin or thick lips, narrow, wide or hook noses and all forms of face shape. Moreover, the Europeans who ‘classified’ the as so called races, even allowed people with very white and very dark skin colour to be classified as White, because they were from a people perceived a capable in the 17th and 18th centuries. These unscientific discrepancies between phenotype classifications can clearly no longer stand?
Therefore in this episode, Carlton seeks to challenge this one sided view, which by the way isn’t maintained when it suited the post 17th Century colonial elites, slaveholders, plantocracy and pseudo-scientists that proclaimed the inferiority of the so called Black (Negro) ‘race’, and the superiority of the obviously flawed White race classification.
Hence, Carlton explains why this outdated concept can no longer stand and why Black historical figures and empires throughout the ages need to be reclaimed!
Carlton explains how being Black has been defined in various countries particularly the United states and how, just one drop of black blood was perceived to be sufficient to make a person legally and officially Black. This one drop was defined in many US states a person with 1/64th of a Black ancestor, 1/32nd Black ancestry, 1/16th or a minimum of 1/8th Black ancestry made a person Black.
Additionally, this episode also assesses what Carlton calls the ‘Balance Theory’.
Carlton’s Balance Theory explains how Black, White and other peoples of Colour have had transmitted to them, by slave trade and colonial White rulers, that Black people are ignorant, lazy, childlike, feckless and uneducated, and that they have never invented or developed anything. They have also been told that Blacks are criminal and duplicitous.
These anti-black views have been transmitted to all peoples for over 350 years, since the African Slave Trade, Colonialism up until at least the late 1970’s.
Carlton explores all these issues and many more. He assesses the effect on every day interactions with police, teachers or employers and others, who due to the extremely low expectation of Black people mentioned above, these important intermediaries, due to these attitudes see Black people as suspicious and of limited ability. Hence, what Carlton calls the ‘muck of ages’ affects relations today.
Finally, Carlton notes that this negativity against Black people has also been transmitted to Black people themselves, so they too suffer from the same prejudices brought about by the muck of ages.
Note: The picture attached is a facial reconstruction of Jesus Christ by forensic reconstruction experts. The reconstruction is not dissimilar to that of the facial reconstruction first British man known as Cheddar Man, albeit Cheddar man is shown to be even blacker than Jesus.
This is another educational yet entertaining must listen episodes of the Black Spy Podcast.

Want to be recruited into Britain’s Secret Services?
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 11, Episode 0007
This week the Black Spy answers the question he is most often asked:
“How does one become a secret agent?”
Well, in this episode Carlton provides listeners with an in-depth answer to this question not least by firstly providing listeners with the correct vocabulary in relation to this question.
Carlton also asks listeners wishing to work within the ‘secret world’, what role they would wish to be recruited to?
Hence to strip, fiction away from fact, Carlton provides listeners with an overview of the primary organisations working in this field.
Moreover, Carlton dispels many misconceptions held by even those you’d think would know better, such as the politicians nominally responsible for these organisations and journalists, about the roles and responsibilities provided to various secret entities.
So, if you have an historical interest in Britain’s secret organisations or you are considering a career within this domain, then this week's Black Spy podcast is a must listen.

The Morgan Khan Interviews (Part Two) - The Rebirth of Street Sounds
The Black Spy Podcast Season 11 Episode 0006
This week's and next week's Black Spy Podcast features the rise, fall and rebirth of Morgan Khan, the legendary music mogul and entrepreneur who played a pivotal role in introducing various genres of black and urban music to the UK and Europe.
Morgan was the founder of Street Sounds, a record label that launched in 1982 and became the market leader of compilation albums, featuring the best of electro, hip-hop, house, and other styles of street music. Morgan was ahead of his time, licensing tracks from the US that were otherwise unavailable or expensive for UK consumers. He also discovered and developed many successful artists, such as Imagination, Jamiroquai, Dina Carroll, and Humanoid. We hear how Morgan worked with most of the major record companies and music publishers and hear how the anti Black racism of the industry executives, 99% White, failed to support Black artists to anything like the same degree as they did White artists.
In addition to his Street Sounds label Morgan had success in producing and promoting events and concerts. He is credited as pioneering electro/hip-hop, house, hip house and acid music in Europe.
Morgan's contribution to the music industry is exceptional and his influence is still felt today.
Once again the Black Spy Podcast brings you a major contributor to the global cultural scene and hence the geo-political nuances of our time.

Are vitamin supplements really necessary - Discussion with Dr Rachel Taylor (Part 2)
The Black Spy Podcast Season 11, Episode 0004
This week's Black Spy Podcast looks at the Billions of dollars vitamin supplement industry with our special guest Dr. Rachel Taylor. She is able to put the bones on the following basic philosophy of vitamin supplementation below:
Vitamin supplements are not generally required for the average healthy person who maintains a balanced diet. A well-rounded diet that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats usually provides all the necessary vitamins and minerals the body needs to function properly.
However, there are certain situations where vitamin supplements may be necessary or beneficial. These include:
-
Nutritional deficiencies: If blood tests or medical evaluations indicate a specific vitamin deficiency, supplements may be prescribed to address the deficiency and restore optimal levels.
-
Certain health conditions: Some medical conditions or factors such as pregnancy, lactation, malabsorption issues, or chronic diseases may require additional supplementation to meet the increased nutrient demands or compensate for poor absorption.
-
Restricted diets: Vegetarians, vegans, or individuals with limited food choices or restrictive diets may need to supplement certain vitamins such as vitamin B12, which is primarily found in animal-based products.
-
Age-related factors: Older adults may have reduced nutrient absorption or increased nutrient requirements due to age-related changes, making supplements beneficial in certain cases.
-
Geographic or lifestyle factors: People living in regions with limited sun exposure might require vitamin D supplements to maintain adequate levels. Additionally, some individuals with specific lifestyles, such as athletes or those under high physical or mental stress, may benefit from targeted supplementation.
It's important to note that while some individuals may benefit from supplements, excessive intake of certain vitamins can be harmful. It's always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian who can assess your specific needs and provide personalized recommendations based on your health status, lifestyle, and diet.
So once again the Black Spy Podcast delves deeper and highlights the geo-political aspects of an ‘industry’.

Types of Bones (I use chicken carcass or beef bones)
Knuckles
Joints
Feet
Marrow bones
For added flavour incorporate meaty bones like oxtail,shank, and short ribs.
Chicken feet - contain loads of gelatine and are less expensive than other gelatine-rich bones.
Pigs trotters are also full of gelatine and collagen.
Vegetables
I throw any in to the mix but generally have a base of carrots (including their tops) celery (including the leaf)leek, garlic and greens.
Herbs/Spices/condiments
I throw around an inch of turmeric root in, black pepper, Himalayan salt (more negative ions than usual salt), star anise, cinnamon stick, bay leaves and apple cider vinegar
Step 1: Blanch the Bones
Divide the bones between two large pots and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes before draining and rinsing the bones with water.
Do you have to blanch the bones? The answer is no.However, I recommend, especially if you’re making brothfrom beef bones, that you do blanch them first.
If you’re using chicken bones or chicken feet blanching is less important, but beef bones really need this extra step,especially if you want a clear stock.
What’s the purpose of blanching? The purpose is to remove impurities, coagulated protein, and blood which ultimately results in a cleaner, better tasting broth.
Step 2: Roast the Bones and Vegetables
Now that your bones have been blanched, drained, and rinsed, it’s time to preheat your oven to 180 C.
Transfer the bones and vegetables to the roasting pans.
. Roast for 30 minutes before gently tossing the bones and vegetables, and roasting for an additional 15-30 minutes more.
Step 3: Transfer the Bones Back to the Stockpots & Bring to a Boil
Wash the stockpots that were used to blanch the bones(this is super important) and divide the roasted bones and vegetables between the two pots.
Scrape up any brown bits and juices remaining in the roasting pan using a metal spatula and a little water, if needed.
With the bones and vegetables add the salt, bay leaves, black pepper, star anise, cinnamon sticks, turmeric and apple cider vinegar between the two pots.
Pour enough water in to cover the bones by approximately an inch.
Cover each pot with a tight-fitting lid and bring to a low boil.
I use an instant pot to do this bit and basically put it onto a soup setting to cook as it is much quicker than the other way, but you can do it on the stove instead.
Step 4: Simmer reduce heat to low and simmer, with the lids lightly ajar, skimming any foam or excess fat, as needed. Simmer for at least 8-12 hours Add more water if needed to make sure bones and vegetables remain fully submerged.
Step 5: Strain the Bones, once the bones have simmered and your broth is ready, you will need to strain the broth through a strainer.
For an extra clear broth, strain a second time through a food-grade muslin.
I store in glass jars in the fridge and generally around 1KG of bones makes enough broth for me to use in 10 days.
Are vitamin supplements really necessary - Discussion with Dr Rachel Taylor (Part 1)
The Black Spy Podcast Season 11, Episode 0003
This week's Black Spy Podcast looks at the Billions of dollars vitamin supplement industry with our special guest Dr. Rachel Taylor. She is able to put the bones on the following basic philosophy of vitamin supplementation below:
Vitamin supplements are not generally required for the average healthy person who maintains a balanced diet. A well-rounded diet that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats usually provides all the necessary vitamins and minerals the body needs to function properly.
However, there are certain situations where vitamin supplements may be necessary or beneficial. These include:
-
Nutritional deficiencies: If blood tests or medical evaluations indicate a specific vitamin deficiency, supplements may be prescribed to address the deficiency and restore optimal levels.
-
Certain health conditions: Some medical conditions or factors such as pregnancy, lactation, malabsorption issues, or chronic diseases may require additional supplementation to meet the increased nutrient demands or compensate for poor absorption.
-
Restricted diets: Vegetarians, vegans, or individuals with limited food choices or restrictive diets may need to supplement certain vitamins such as vitamin B12, which is primarily found in animal-based products.
-
Age-related factors: Older adults may have reduced nutrient absorption or increased nutrient requirements due to age-related changes, making supplements beneficial in certain cases.
-
Geographic or lifestyle factors: People living in regions with limited sun exposure might require vitamin D supplements to maintain adequate levels. Additionally, some individuals with specific lifestyles, such as athletes or those under high physical or mental stress, may benefit from targeted supplementation.
It's important to note that while some individuals may benefit from supplements, excessive intake of certain vitamins can be harmful. It's always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian who can assess your specific needs and provide personalized recommendations based on your health status, lifestyle, and diet.
So once again the Black Spy Podcast delves deeper and highlights the geo-political aspects of an ‘industry’.

Dr Rachel's Broth recipe:
Types of Bones (I use chicken carcass or beef bones)
Knuckles
Joints
Feet
Marrow bones
For added flavour incorporate meaty bones like oxtail,shank, and short ribs.
Chicken feet - contain loads of gelatine and are less expensive than other gelatine-rich bones.
Pigs trotters are also full of gelatine and collagen.
Vegetables
I throw any in to the mix but generally have a base of carrots (including their tops) celery (including the leaf)leek, garlic and greens.
Herbs/Spices/condiments
I throw around an inch of turmeric root in, black pepper, Himalayan salt (more negative ions than usual salt), star anise, cinnamon stick, bay leaves and apple cider vinegar
Step 1: Blanch the Bones
Divide the bones between two large pots and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat and simmer for10-15 minutes before draining and rinsing the bones with water.
Do you have to blanch the bones? The answer is no.However, I recommend, especially if you’re making brothfrom beef bones, that you do blanch them first.
If you’re using chicken bones or chicken feet blanching is less important, but beef bones really need this extra step,especially if you want a clear stock.
What’s the purpose of blanching? The purpose is to remove impurities, coagulated protein, and blood which ultimately results in a cleaner, better tasting broth.
Step 2: Roast the Bones and Vegetables
Now that your bones have been blanched, drained, and rinsed, it’s time to preheat your oven to 180 C.
Transfer the bones and vegetables to the roasting pans.
. Roast for 30 minutes before gently tossing the bones and vegetables, and roasting for an additional 15-30 minutes more.
Step 3: Transfer the Bones Back to the Stockpots & Bring to a Boil
Wash the stockpots that were used to blanch the bones(this is super important) and divide the roasted bones and vegetables between the two pots.
Scrape up any brown bits and juices remaining in the roasting pan using a metal spatula and a little water, if needed.
With the bones and vegetables add the salt, bay leaves, black pepper, star anise, cinnamon sticks, turmeric and apple cider vinegar between the two pots.
Pour enough water in to cover the bones by approximately an inch.
Cover each pot with a tight-fitting lid and bring to a low boil.
I use an instant pot to do this bit and basically put it onto a soup setting to cook as it is much quicker than the other way, but you can do it on the stove instead.
Step 4: Simmer reduce heat to low and simmer, with the lids lightly ajar, skimming any foam or excess fat, as needed. Simmer for at least 8-12 hours Add more water if needed to make sure bones and vegetables remain fully submerged.
Step 5: Strain the Bones, once the bones have simmered and your broth is ready, you will need to strain the broth through a strainer.
For an extra clear broth, strain a second time through a food-grade muslin.
I store in glass jars in the fridge and generally around 1KG of bones makes enough broth for me to use in 10 days.
Lucy Letby & the NHS management, Press & Government, mass murder cover-up
The Black Spy Podcast Season 11, Episode 0002
This week's episode is about the shocking revelations concerning the Lucy Letby case and the lack of action taken by doctors not going to the police, NHS managers seemingly preventing anything negative about Letby murdering babies coming to the attention of police. More importantly, unlike with the Police and Fire Brigade, for frankly in comparison, minimal shortcomings; neither the press nor government demand any real accountability from the NHS’s most senior management or even hospital trust management for literally 100’s of MURDERS committed by NHS staff DURING the exercise of their duties!
Why is this and what is the frequency of murders by on duty NHS staff and why do the British media treat these public bodies so differently?
In an insightful, interesting and powerful discussion by the Black Spy, Carlton King and his regular journalist podcast partner, Firgas Esack, and Dr. Rachel Taylor put the events surrounding Lucy Letby’s murder of 10 babies and the attempted murder a further 7 babies under the microscope.
Below is an example of just some of the convicted NHS staff who have murdered their patients whilst on duty in hospitals etc, over the last two decades.
• Nurse Beverley Allitt murdered 4 infants, at Grantham hospital, attempted to murder three others and caused grievous bodily harm to a further six infants no demonstrations were held and no great inquiry was sought into the NHS or its leadership!
• Nurse Lucy Letby’s alleged murders of 7 babies and a further attempted murder of 10 more happened at the same time as Sarah Everarad’s murder by a police officer. This single murder by a police officer totally and utterly gains practically all of the press coverage. Letby’s 7 murders and 10 attempted murders of babies, have resulted in no demonstrations why?
• 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 many other victims did not die, but 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.
• Dr Harold Shipman, from his Manchester surgery, murdered at least 250 of his patients. Yet it is though that over a decade he might well have murdered up to 500 patients.
• Surgeon Simon Bramhall regularly signed his initials on patients livers as he operated on them.
• Surgeon Ian Patterson was found guilty of operating on countless patients, mainly women, for seemingly no reason. He disfigured his patients by removing their breast etc., which was allegedly done for financial gain according to the relatively little press there was in comparison to the David Carrick police case.
Presently the press and even government tell us that police and now Fire Fighters can not be trusted, however, no such suggestion regarding trust has ever been suggested against doctors and nurses despite the horrendous number of murders carried out by serial murdering medics. Indeed, medics are probably the profession who have highest number of serial killers in the UK!
At no stage have NHS chiefs appeared on TV, radio or written in periodicals apologising for the the obvious ‘cover -up culture’ of NHS Management even when it relates to staff murdering babies!
Once again, we hope listeners will learn from today’s podcast whilst also being entertained!

Critical Thinking: Psychological Operations, Fake News, History, Revisionism & Fact (Part 2)
Black Spy Podcast, Season 11, Episode 0001
This week's Black Spy Podcast is another Critical Thinking theme, which this time looks at how WE are controlled by state propaganda, education, the media and the 1% of billionaires and multi-millionaires who actually control OUR politicians.
The geo-political techniques utilised to achieve this all embracing control by those in power are:
Psychological operations (PSYOP) which are operations to convey selected information and indicators to audiences to influence their emotions, motives, and objective reasoning, and ultimately the behaviour of governments, organizations, groups, and individuals. (Psyops is generally utilised by militaries and intelligence services.)
Fake news is a type of yellow journalism or propaganda that consists of deliberate disinformation or hoaxes spread via traditional news media or online social media. (Again militaries, Intelligence Services, the wealthy 1%, broadcast impresarios & politicians)
Revisionism is the reinterpretation of historical records and views.
And History is the study of past events often from the perspective of the Victor’s or writer’s thereof.
Facts should be things that are known or proved to be true.
So, from this perspective listen and perhaps learn what you never knew.
This is another Black Spy Podcast episode that goes where other media outlets fear to tread.

Is Climate Change activism a woke 1st World rite of passage? (Part 2)
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 10, Episode 0009
Clearly climate change is a global issue that affects people from all walks of life and across different regions, so why does the Western and indeed much of the global media concentrate on what Western ‘activists’ do?
It is undoubtedly a truism that climate protests have gained significant attention in developed countries, such as the Global North, it might be inaccurate to dismiss protest as simply the preserve of the trendy or privileged Global North. Although the privileged North political and military systems historically stole most of the worlds resources, those in other regions also see the dangers.
Climate change poses severe threats to the environment, ecosystems, and human societies worldwide. Indeed, the impacts of climate change are already being felt by vulnerable communities, particularly those in developing countries. Therefore, climate protests are a means for people to voice their concerns, demand action from governments and corporations, and raise awareness about the urgency of addressing climate change.
It is important to recognize that climate activism and awareness are not limited to any specific group or region albeit, have more opportunity in their daily lives to protest as food etc, is for them much easier to come by.
That said, People from all around the world, including those in developing countries, are actively engaged in climate advocacy, participating in protests where possible and pushing for sustainable solutions. The fight against climate change requires global cooperation and inclusive participation from all nations, regardless of their socio-economic status.
However, what is true is that activists in the Global South pay a real price for their actions, whereas their comrades in the North are generally saved from any significant actual deprivations.

The geo-politics of obesity with Dr. Rachel Taylor (Part Two)
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 10, Episode 0007
This week Carlton and Firgas assess the politics behind the global obesity pandemic with special guest Dr. Rachel Taylor.
The geo-politics of obesity is a complex issue that involves various issues such as economic, social, cultural and political factors. Obesity is a growing public health challenge worldwide with significant health and economic impacts. According to a study by the BMJ Global Health, the economic impacts of overweight and obesity are substantial across countries, irrespective of economic or geographical context and will increase over time if current trends continue.
The obesity problem is rife with political nuance: including the politics of who can speak about obesity; who holds authority; who has the best solution to address obesity; the politics of stigma; the politics of risk, class, gender, and race; the politics of morality, lifestyle and economic corruption of politicians (lobbying).
So, if you wish to understand why you can’t simply lose or maintain weight loss and gain a understanding of the politics and economics of the food you eat, then this is the programme for you.

Is Britain’s education system fit for purpose in the 21st Century? (Part 2)
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 10, Episode 0005
This week’s Black Spy Podcast Part 2 continues to deal with the question of, Is Britain's education system fit for purpose in the 21st century?
In part one of this discussion we delve into is the way that Britain's education system has an over reliability on a small number of elitist private schools in terms of providing Britain it most perceived educated cadre.
However the Black Spy Podcast questions whether these private, also known as public schools in Britain, create the type of technically educated people we require in the 21st century.
We also examine the slant towards students from these school gaining privileged access to top UK universities such as Oxford, Cambridge and St Andrews Universities etc (aka. The Russell group top flight UK universities) when compared to students from regular state schools.
Carlton king and Fergus Esack bring on the show Fergus’ mother, Eva Strauss, who is a PhD educator in a top class private public school and a state registered examination examiner, in a fascinating and widespread discussion on all aspects of Britain’s education system.
This debate looks into the business, public sector and private sector needs for educated employees in this era of technological change. So, we also touch on what effect artificial intelligence will have on education in Britain and elsewhere in the world, and whether Britain will have the skills to compete.
The team also consider whether actually obtaining educational knowledge is necessary in an era when one can simply Google everything in an instant. The team also ask if hand writing will become obsolete in the coming decades.
So, once again Carlton and Fergus go to places that most podcasts hosts don't do, yet still manage to make the show entertaining, interesting and educational.

The Black Spy Podcast, Season 10, Episode 0003
This week's special Critical Thinking episode sees Carlton assess the present state of Russia, the Wagner group, Prigozhin head of Wagner, the effect on the Ukraine war of the attempted coup and the position and standing of President Putin.
Carlton also assesses the potential involvement of Western intelligence Services in the coup, was Prigozhin a Western spy or under western influence, are the actions that Russia might now take as a result of the coup detrimental or advantageous to the Ukraine, Russia, NATO, the USA abd the West.

So, if you want to gain a better understanding of the war’s intelligence operations, the Western intelligence world view of the conflict and the duplicity of military conflict and media manipulation in general.
If you want to have a deeper historical understanding of the Ukraine conflict, this is the Black Spy podcast episode for you.

“The manopause”, is it a real phenomenon? (Part 2)
The Black Spy Podcast, Series 10, Episode 0002
This is part two of last week’s Black Spy Podcast feature Dr Rachel Taylor on the subject of the male man-o-pause, whether it’s a real phenomenon and what it means for the world.
However, Firgas Esack and Carlton don’t just keep to the proposition, but look at the geo-politics surrounding the male manopause and frankly the West's intentions to remake human kind in the West’s ideological perspective.
Doctor Rachel Taylor is a neuroscientist who specialises in, as she says, transforming human beings. Her special passion is working with people who just find living in an increasingly abnormal environment too difficult. She researches, develops and facilitates processes to support anyone in understanding why they are, the way they are, in order to help them be who they wish to be.
Doctor Rachel says ideally she’d want everyone to know that they do not need to wait for permission to create the life that they want to live, they just need to decide for themselves that this is what they want to do.
If you want to contact Dr Rachel after listening to the podcast, you’ll find her on substack, or simply contact Carlton or Firgas via their social media.

However, Firgas Esack and Carlton don’t just keep to the proposition, but look at the geo-politics surrounding the male manopause and frankly the West's intentions to remake human kind in the West’s ideological perspective.
Doctor Rachel Taylor is a neuroscientist who specialises in, as she says, transforming human beings. Her special passion is working with people who just find living in an increasingly abnormal environment too difficult. She researches, develops and facilitates processes to support anyone in understanding why they are, the way they are, in order to help them be who they wish to be.
Doctor Rachel says ideally she’d want everyone to know that they do not need to wait for permission to create the life that they want to live, they just need to decide for themselves that this is what they want to do.
If you want to contact Dr Rachel after listening to the podcast, you’ll find her on substack, or simply contact Carlton or Firgas via their social media.
This is another Black Spy Podcast episode that goes where other media outlets fears to tread.

Will AI facilitate the demise of handwriting
The Black Spy Podcast, Series 9, Episode 0010
Today’s Black Spy Podcast was effectively chosen for us by listener, Rick Elmer.
Rick wrote in wishing to feature on the show.
Rick is an ex professional NFL-US football player and now CEO of his own company that produces unique copies of a person’s actual handwriting. Rick system then expands on the sample by utilising AI to provide a personal handwritten.
I thought Rick had a great story to tell, so I invited him on the show.
Unfortunately, Rick was unable to attend the recording, so Firgas and I retained the subject matter, expanded on it, and have placed it within the geo-political context of handwriting being effected by the unstoppable march of AI etc. Regular listeners will know that from our inception the Black Spy Podcast has critically observed these technologies.
This is why we have returned to the potential catastrophic problems that AI could cause, and/or wonderous opportunities AI could unleash on the world, in many previous episodes.
Hence, here at the Black Spy Podcast we have reported on AI, Machine Learning, Fintech and military/secret intelligence usage of such technologies in this vain, way before many other commentators who are just now seeing the potential dangers for human kind.
So consequently, this is again another excellent, entertaining and educational Black Spy Podcast.

BREXIT
This is what Leavers voted for! (Part 2 )
The Black Spy Podcast, Series 9, Episode 0009
Brexit was arguably the greatest instance of self-harm undertaken by a nation in the modern era that did not involve warfare.
And now, the primary initial architect, Nigel Farage, complains that Brexit has been a failure. Yes, like a snake oil salesman Farage argues he knows what would have made Brexit a success. And could easily have implemented these 'sunlight upland policies, albeit he does not state what they would have been. However, like all the Brexit salesmen and women who have subsequently slivered away - Boris Johnson, David Frost, Michael Gove, Kate Hoey, Dominic Cummings, Gisela Stuart and Daniel Hannan - they take no responsibility for the disaster.
Carlton and Firgas assess the lies told, outside of the primary massive disingenuous lie regarding the whole sail deportation of so called immigrants from the UK that Brexit would bring about. Many Brexit votes believed that Brexit would mean the deportation of Black and Brown Britons. Indeed back early 2016 Carlton argued in his YouTube podcast, that Brexit would mean more Black and Brown immigrants, as Europeans left Britain, not less.
In part two of this two part podcast we expand and further explore the geo-political lies put daily to a British population who knew nothing of the EU's positive aspects and framework.
So, please listen, consider and feel free to contact the Black Spy to challenge the analysis he espouses.

Critical Thinking - Gender Crisis - A Woman’s View (Part 2)
The Black Spy Podcast Season 9, Episode 0007
The advent of culture wars in government, the boardroom, public services and even its trickle down into societal norms has changed the West in particular. This week we have part 2 of one woman’s view (Firgas Esack) of this gender clash in discussion with Carlton King.
This podcast follows Carlton’s previous critical thinking episodes in which the he argued that Trump and Johnson are the unintended consequences of the old guard - white men (however in reality, wealthy and/or ‘traditionalist’ white men and women) - clinging on to power by instigating othering and appealing to nativist sentiments.
Hence, in this week’s Critical Thinking episode, the Black Spy explores what he believes is one of the most crucial outward changes in society, fostered by these single issue ‘cultural’ affiliations - the conflict between the genders.
Truthfully however, the struggle for societal peace is being destabilised on a much broader basis than just gender; as the same drivers are at work regarding racism, class inequality, ageism, religious antagonism, widening income disparity, sexual politics, gender assignment, nativism and indeed countless other differential imbalances or societal prejudices. But, the question is, are these laudable struggles, being taken to far? And are they even factual in concept?
Carlton hones in on gender, as it is the largest of these fault lines to assess this battle field.
In short, Carlton asks if the West is engaged in a destructive individualism, where everybody knows their rights, but few seem to have an understanding of their collective obligations.
Carlton believes this situation is feed by a lack of knowledge of our real history and the position held by the vast majority of our ancestors.
Carlton also asks if those obtaining the greatest advantage out of these various struggles, are the ones who have actually suffered the least from prejudice limiting their opportunities and are indeed often those who have always reaped the benefits of society. These are the people seem to who utilise the past disadvantages suffered by others, generally of the lower classes, to once again reap the profits caused by these societal fissures.
So, please listen, consider and feel free to contact the Black Spy to challenge the analysis he and Firgas seem to espouse.

What's the cost of the Royal family to British citizens?

The NHS Murders (Part1) - Lucy Letby & so many others
The Black Spy Podcast Season 9, Episode 0002
This week's Black Spy Podcast discusses the unbelievable number of murders committed by on duty NHS medical staff in the UK. Furthermore, the Black Spy discusses the fact that even though these murders are frequent they receive very little overall press analysis and unlike the hounding received by the police for one (1) murder (performed by an off duty officer), the institution of the NHS is seldom challenged by established British mass media!
So what is the frequency of murders by on duty NHS staff and why do the British media treat the two public bodies so differently?
In an insightful, interesting and powerful discussion by the Black Spy, Carlton King and his regular journalist podcast partner, Firgas Esack, the present case of Lucy Letby accused of allegedly murdering 10 babies and attempting to murder a further 7, is put under the microscope.
So, when I say NHS murders, the NHS murderers below are an example of this literally unbelievable phenomena of UK medics murdering their patients whilst on duty in hospitals etc, over the last two decades.
Carlton asks Firgas, why no great hue and cry in media(TV, radio or printed press) or demonstrations from pressure groups about these NHS murders?
• Nurse Beverley Allitt murdered 4 infants, at Grantham hospital, attempted to murder three others and caused grievous bodily harm to a further six infants no demonstrations were held and no great inquiry was sought into the NHS or its leadership!
• Nurse Lucy Letby’s alleged murders of 7 babies and a further attempted murder of 10 more happened at the same time as Sarah Everarad’s murder by a police officer. This single murder by a police officer totally and utterly gains practically all of the press coverage. Letby’s 7 murders and 10 attempted murders of babies, are seemingly all but overlooked by a police bating British press! In this case babies seem not to matter too much to the press and definitely the press seems totally unwilling to hold NHS leadership, even at the most junior level of hospital management, to account.
• 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 many other victims did not die, but 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.
• Dr Harold Shipman, from his Manchester surgery, murdered at least 250 of his patients. Yet it is though that over a decade he might well have murdered up to 500 patients.
• Surgeon Simon Bramhall regularly signed his initials on patients livers as he operated on them.
• Surgeon Ian Patterson was found guilty of operating on countless patients, mainly women, for seemingly no reason. He disfigured his patients by removing their breast etc., which was allegedly done for financial gain according to the relatively little press there was in comparison to the David Carrick police case.
Note there is no suggestion that doctors and nurses can not be trusted despite the gravity of the offences and multiple serial murders undertaken by the above medics performing their daily duties.
Also, at no stage have NHS chiefs appeared on TV, radio or written in periodicals apologising for the the ‘canteen culture’ of their profession, that keeps allowing mass murder in hospitals and via doctors surgeries.
Once again, we hope listeners will learn from today’s podcast whilst also being entertained!

Matt Hancock, Isabel Oakeshott and the What’app revelations (Part2)
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 messages whilst we discuss the use politicians make of the platform and why.
Meanwhile, Firgas explains the press perspective on a story and indeed I challenge her as to why the press choses one story over another and why we tend to be less informed whilst 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 or her analysis.

Critical Thinking
War & Truth (Spying, Nazis, The Ukraine and Nordstream 2) (Part2)
The Black Spy Podcast Season 8, Episode 0008
It is an accepted truism that the first casualty of war is truth!
So the Black Spy explores if we are being sold whole sale propaganda concerning the current conflict and if we are, he considers perhaps why?
So, this is why in Part Two of this critical thinking two part episode on war and truth the Black Spy Podcast’s Carlton King continues to answers listeners questions relating to various aspects of Russia’s geo-political manoeuvrings, its war in the Ukraine, the historical context resulting from the post World War Two status as a victor, and the never ending cold conflict with the USA and the ‘West’.
So, once again the Black Spy asks you not only to listen and be entertained, but also to seek and even challenge the analysis he espouses in today’s and next weeks (Part2) episodes.

Critical Thinking
War & Truth (Spying, Nazis, The Ukraine and Nordstream 2) (Part1)
The Black Spy Podcast Season 8, Episode 0007
It is an accepted truism that the first casualty of war is truth!
So the Black Spy explores if we are being sold whole sale propaganda concerning the current conflict and if we are, he considers perhaps why?
So, this is why in this week’s Black Spy Podcast, that Carlton answers listeners questions relating to various aspects of Russia’s geo-political manoeuvrings, its war in the Ukraine, the historical context resulting from the post world War Two status as a victor, and the never ending cold conflict with the USA and the ‘West’.
So, once again the Black Spy asks you not only to listen and be entertained, but also to seek and even challenge the analysis he espouses in today’s and next weeks (Part2) episodes.

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.
Once again, we hope listeners will learn from today’s podcast whilst also being entertained!

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.

Part Two: Are the Covid 19 vaccines a genetic time bomb?
The Black Spy questions Dr Rachel Taylor
The Black Spy Podcast Season 8, Episode 0002
This week’s episode continues the debate of the decade with Dr Rachel Taylor. Are Covid 19 vaccines safe?
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?
Dr. Rachel Taylor questions the above as Carlton adds the political aspect possible considered.
So once again, we hope listeners will learn from today’s podcast whilst also being entertained!

Are the Covid 19 vaccines a genetic time bomb?
The Black Spy questions Dr Rachel Taylor
The Black Spy Podcast Season 8, Episode 0001
This week’s episode looks into the debate of the decade. 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.
So once again, we hope listeners will learn from today’s podcast and indeed part two next week. whilst also being entertained!

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.
As always Carlton hopes that listeners will learn something from today’s podcast, however more importantly he and Firgas hope that listeners will also be entertained!

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.
As always Carlton hopes that listeners will learn something from today’s podcast, however more importantly he and Firgas hope that listeners will also be entertained!

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.

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 a country be truly democratic if every citizen can not grow up to be the head of state?
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.

Refugees, Englishness & Royal Palace Racism (Part 1)
The Black Spy Podcast Season 7, Episode 0003
Why do Brits believe most asylum seekers/refugees come to the UK when in 2020 we only received - 37, 550, 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.

Is Tory Anarchy
The Brexit Dividend?
The Black Spy Podcast
Season 6, Episode 0007
This week Carlton King explores the anarchy that is the Conservative Party (known as the Tory Party) and its damaging effect on the UK’s economy, its reputation abroad and its geo-political standing within the world.
Carlton explains that, in his analysis, the present malaise in the Tory Party stems from its long history of attempting to keep the party together in light of the damage the party has sustained surrounding Britain’s membership of the European Union. This extremely broad church that is the Conservative Party is now consequently imploding under the strain of Brexit and the damage it has caused the country. Carlton explains why.
Hence, one again, this is a great Black Spy Podcast Special on the British nations current events.
Once again Season 6, Episode 0007 of the Black Spy Podcast is a cracking episode from which all can learn.

Who decides?
A sit down with Shaun Wood - Scriptwriter
The Black Spy Podcast
Season 6, Episode 0006
This week Carlton King sit down with scriptwriter Shaun Wood and asks the question
“Who decides what get seen?”
Due to the all pervasive nature of film and TV in modern society, this is very big question, not least because for many people the vast majority of their knowledge about the world’s past, present and indeed what might even be its future, is transmitted to them via people like Shaun, be that through film, TV and to a lesser extent radio and the theatre. So, this week's sit down really matters!
Carlton explores why and how Shaun got into screen writing.
What his aims were/are.
Asks how difficult it is for those perceived as not fitting the White, middle class, stereotype to obtain a screen writing role in the UK.
Carlton seeks to establish how this lack of diversity has affected the views of everyday British citizens in relation to race, gender, class and other protected characteristics.
Plus in Black history month, Carlton also asks how difficult is it for Black people to become scriptwriters in the UK? Carlton also asks whether this has changed recent years?
And finally, we learn about Shaun’s interesting up-bring which initially pointed him in a completely different creative direction.
Once again this is a cracking episode in which all can learn as well as being entertained.
These and many more questions are debated in this great episode of the Black Spy Podcast, Season 6, Episode 0006, is another must listen event.

The Black Spy Podcast
Critical Thinking - Black History Month Special
Season 6 Episode 0005
This week the Black Spy looks at Britain's Black History Month, which he helped create, and asks where its gone wrong!
Carlton argues that Britain's Black month is too 20th century centric, it does not attempt to educate all Britain's about the total historic Black past and that it concentrates on the UK and the US in isolation.
Does not educate Black and other citizens about the true Caribbean connection.
Seemingly sees Slavery as a starting point for Black history.
Does not make anything of the major connections between people of colour and Britain in Roman times, post Roman times, in the Morrish era and its connection with Britain, and throughout the centuries how blacks have been totally assimilated into Britain.
Moreover, Black History Month lacks any connection with other Black European histories, plus it still peddles the belief that Black people arrived in Britain with the Windrush in 1948. This view of the Black presence, in correct view of Black people in Britain, obliterates the contribution Black soldiers military men have made in two world wars and indeed all Britain’s conflicts since at least the mid 17th century.
He also mentions that Black history month makes zero attempt to cover the years of Black World leadership through Ancient Egypt, Greece, particularly Crete and Black people’s presence and leadership in what is the present day Middle East, India and Pakistan and connections with China and Central and South America, pre and post Slavery
Finally Carlton argues that there is no attempt to define Black. Or to establish who has a right to decide who is Black.

The Black Spy Podcast
Season 6, Episode 0004

They also assessed the latest pronouncements of the new Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, Sir Mark Rowley.
The episode asks listeners if they've:
Really considered the level of evidence required to find somebody guilty in a criminal case, when the legal definition to do so, in a criminal trial, is “beyond all reasonable doubt”?
We also ask:
Is Knife crime new?
Why do people people carry knives?
Will there be more crime as the economic crisis bits?
Should account be taken of an individual's needs when ‘criminals’ are found guilty.
Are there enough police to do the job?
These and many more questions are debated in this great episode of the Black Spy Podcast making Season 6, Episode 0004, another must listen event.

A sit down with Nazir Afzal - The first Muslim CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) Chief Prosecutor in England & Wales
This week Carlton King explores the life and times of Nazir Afzal, the renowned first Muslim Chief Prosecutor of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in England & Wales’ (North West Region).
The nearest equivalent body to the CPS in the United States is the District Attorney’s office.
We also learn about Nazir’s tough up-bring in inner city Birmingham in the 1970’s, his distrust of the police and other English institutions of state in the era and the depth of feeling this created within the young Nazir.
We are made to understand why he decided to become a lawyer, rather than the doctor or engineer his parents hoped he’d become. And we learn about Nazir’s journey into prosecuting on behalf of the British state.
We also, discuss the all encompassing racism Nazir was subjected to from his very early life onward, to his somewhat more comfortable rise to the top of his profession. Finally, the men discuss a plethora of current and systemic problems suffered by the contemporary British state.
Carlton points out that the CPS very rarely takes responsibility for its decisions and cites the Stephen Lawrence case as a prime example of this, noting that after Stephen Lawrence’s murder the Met police within ten days had arrested four suspects, however, the crown prosecution service told police that in their opinion, their was not enough evidence to gain a conviction at court therefore police would have to release them!
The suspects would all remain free for several years thereafter.
The Met police would suffer greatly for not having arrested Stephen’s murderers and were taunted as incompetent and institutionally racist.
However, the CPS who prevented the four suspects taken to trial, took none of the blame or derision for the several year hiatus in bringing the very same suspects to trial of whom three would be found guilty. However, solely the Met Police have taken the blame for not closing the case quickly, when those at fault were the CPS. Carlton challenges Nazir to explain this anomaly!
Consequently, as you can see, this is obviously another must hear Black Spy Podcast episode.

The Queen's Death
Royalty Special
What’s next for the monarchy?
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is dead and Her son King Charles III has ascended to the throne but what do the British people think, the ordinary man and woman on the Clapham omnibus as they used to say?
The Black Spy, Carlton King, sits down again with journalist and publicist Firgas Esack of the DAPS Agency and considers a polling survey they commissioned on the night of the Queen’s death. Not only might you be surprised about some of the finding but you will no doubt be engrossed by the discussions these findings bring to to light.
Is Royalty assured?
Is the United Kingdom now at risk as a unified entity.
Will King Charles continue being the head of 14 states outside of that role in the United Kingdom?
What do Britain’s think the Commonwealth is, and what do the think the Queen’s role was within it?
These and many other questions are answered, or at least attempted to be, during this unique discourse.
Hence, this episode of the Black Spy Podcast, Season 6, Episode 0002, is another must listen event.

Billionaire, Ron Bienvenu & the coming New World Order
The Black Spy, Carlton King, sits down again with Ron Bienvenu and continues to tease out the future of high finance and data as an asset.
Carlton and Ron also consider why the present winner takes all attitude of the global 1% is fostering the Marxist revolutionary motivations of the globe's losers, in particular the middle classes that traditionally lead the poor into battle to achieve their own ends.
Carlton argues that this head long race towards an even smaller elite controlling most of the world economic and hence political power is therefore part and parcel of the Capitalist system.
Ron, an apostle, and billionaire beneficiary of the US Capitalist system agrees with Carlton that something needs to be done, however, Ron has faith that the corporate Capitalist system; in its own interest, will in the end adjust to provide the change of emphasis that will hold the line against explosive unregulated and over zealous greed.
This episode of the Black Spy Podcast, Season 6, Episode 0001, provides a superb insight it our potential downfall or could it be redemption, at a very real and current fork in the world’s future development.
Therefore, if you’re considering making your way in today’s world, or even reflecting upon it; this is another must listen episode of the Black Spy Podcast.

Trevor Williams - Spookey &
the creation of British Soul Part 1
This week Carlton explores the Black British soul music scene, with one of the guys who was lived it and made it happen - Trevor Williams.
In addition to the music Trevor explains to Carlton how he ventured out to make a name for himself and his close school friends by breaking into the music scene of the mid 1970’s when Black British soul bands were a rarity. However in this show, as is normally the case with Carlton, he digs beneath the surface to find out why Trevor took this route.
What was home and school life like for the young Trevor?
What challenges did Britain’s Imperial children of colour undergo in what one called the empire’s motherland, Britain?
How did Trevor’s Jamaican parents cope with the hostilities of the time?
How did Trevor’s parents obtain housing and work?
How did Trevor’s entrepreneurial mother achieve her goals?
What did Trevor’s hard working father think of Trevor’s venture into the music industry. Was Trevor musically gifted?
What barriers were put in Spookey’s way as they created the band?
And were the band aware of how cutthroat the industry was that they were entering?

The Black Spy Podcast
The Manchester University lectures
The biology and politics of Race
Season 5, Episode 0009
This week’s Black Spy Podcast is again different. Over the season various listeners have asked about Carlton’s thoughts on race he now is answering this request in this
In addition to his book, business and podcast Carlton also lectures upon request. One of the lectures Carlton provides, either in tandem with speaking partner or generally alone, is a lecture on race, the purposeful obfuscation of black achievement in history by European and American and central and South American authorities, academic bodies as well as the historical pseudo-scientific plantocracy based white supremacy supporting ‘academics’ of the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th Centuries.
Carlton ask attendees to put themselves into the body of a three year old black child of the 1950’s and to grow in that world through the 60’s and 70’s as he explains his thought and feelings as well as pointing to black historical figures of note.
Carlton’s intention is to make attendees think about Race, albeit, as he puts it, that the concept of race is a biological nonsense! Conversely however, Carlton explains that at least since the black Atlantic slave trade, ‘Race’ is however an absolute political reality.
Once again this week’s episode is a fascinating must listen, episode of the Black Spy Podcast, especially for those who have any interest in the concept of racial biology and supremacy.
This must hear episode will be released on Monday 15th of August 2022

The Black Spy Podcast
Season 5 Episode 0007
Wayne Okell MBE: A life preparing for war!
Wayne Okell was born and breed in a dying northern English mining town where the people were hard - salt of the earth. Although Wayne’s family were loving and nurturing, Wayne soon learnt that the towns streets and even school offered no refuge from the casual violence dispensed as a way of life.
Even when older, and pubs beckoned, Wayne explains that a wrong glance or gesture could end in conflict. Therefore, when by accident, Wayne found himself outside a military recruitment office, the thought of combat in Her Majesty’s armed forces, seemed no more than continuity, albeit with added purpose.
This chance situation would lead to Wayne’s journey into the orbit of the UK’s Special Forces - Royal Marine Commandos, SBS and SAS and his endeavour to create a greater level of readiness and muscle memory within such operatives. However, Wayne also wished to provide them with the split second psychological capacity to, when necessary, override this desired quickest of all and generally intended objective.
Once again this weeks episode is a fascinating must listen, episode of the Black Spy Podcast, especially for those who have any interest in UK Special Forces and other such operatives.

Critical Thinking
Aliens. Are they already here?
Black Spy Podcast - Season 5, Episode 0007
This week's episode of the Black Spy Podcast asks listeners to think critically.
Carlton sits down with Dan the man in the first of several Critical Thinking episodes which will be dispersed throughout various seasons from now on.
The two will present research, information and opinion on several diverse themes which generally we are all told, taught or simply believe, due to conventional osmosis, to be fact.
However, Carlton and Dan ask listeners to potentially reassess and think critically and come to their own conclusions regarding the subjects they will cover.
Therefore, in line with the above, this episode's theme is potentially the most important question of all, a question we are traditionally conditioned to pooh pooh - 'Are Aliens already here?'
We hope you will listen with interest.

Discussion with renowned historian Andrew Lownie, Royalty & Government corruption, is Britain becoming a Banana Republic?
Black Spy Podcast Season 5, episode 0004
Another hard hitting discussion with author, publisher, historian and world's best selling literary agent, Andrew Lownie, which delves deep into Britain's past and present day credibility.
Are certain members of the Royal family, the Prime Minister, other politicians, the Press and our system, turning the UK into a Banana Republic?
From skeletons in the Royal cupboard - Edward VIII’s treachery in suggesting to Hitler that Germany should bomb Britain into submission to put him back on the throne. The alleged paedophilia of member of the Royal family - Lord Mountbatten and the latest shenanigans of Prince Andrew’s connections to Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein as well as the corruption of the UK’s political class, particularly the executive, lead by PM Boris Johnson, poses the question - 'Has the UK lost its respect on the world stage?
Moreover, have politicians fatally undermined the security, intelligence and police national security departments to gain short term populist aims?
It is also discussed that to get justice, Andrew needed to spend more than £300,000 of his own money. Does this mean that the rich can more easily hid their indiscretions?
Listeners learn how difficult it is to gain an insight into the secret world particularly when it touches on Britain's rich and powerful.
If you're seriously interested in the clandestine world, this episode is a must hear and its revelations will inform and educate many, if not most listeners about matters long hidden from view.

Why are school shootings a US phenomenon?
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 5, Episode 0001
US Gun Culture Special
This week's Black Spy Podcast looks into the unbelievable frequency of US school shootings and US mass shootings in general.
So, along with, Dan the Man, the Black Spy, Carlton King, explores the following:
- whether mass school, and other mass shootings, are indeed exclusively a US phenomenon?
- They compare the frequency of such incidents in other countries that are not experiencing serious civil unrest or warfare?
- They define what a mass shooting is?
- Note how American gun deaths stack up against other countries.
- Question whether the US is anymore violent than other comparable countries?
- Examine the potential reasons for mass shootings?
- Explore the political grounds for this phenomenon?
- Look at any economic drivers of gun violence?
- And ask what preventative measures could be put in place to challenge the present status quo?
In this fantastic geo-political discourse, Dan and Carlton attempt to answer all of the above points and the historical genesis of the US’s firearms psyche.
Frankly this is another must listen episode for all podcast listeners who wish to be educated about the world around them, as well as to consider issues in perhaps more depth than first meets the eye.

Black Spy Podcast
Season 4, end of season review
As per normal, at the end of season, we review the episodes and guests who Carlton has sat down with to discuss their lives, interests and careers.
This season Carlton undertook the highly unusual step of featuring a guest for all of the last four episodes of season four. The reason for this step was that the guest, Samantha Smith, a young, professional single mother of two, was prepared discuss how an accident left her head ready to fall off her body. We learn that the NHS could do nothing for Samantha, but to treat her as a terminal case. So it was, that on her own back, she researched and found that only two surgeons in the world could save her life. As both surgeons were in America and she was not a wealth women, Sam had to try to raise half a million pounds to save her life. Listeners will hear how she achieved this, not only once, but twice! These are truly incredible episodes.
This season Carlton was also able to interview one of the stars of the moment, the star of Netflix's hit series, Top Boy. Ashely Walters' two episode interviews are extremely forthcoming and enlightening. For anybody whose, a fan or interested in the film, movie and music industries, these are must hear episodes.
This season also saw the return of Big Mike Kilgannon. Mike's appearance with Carlton will provide listeners with a fantastic understanding of the new fiscal finance systems and technical processes. It's a great listen.
This new technical order was also evident in Carlton's discussion with Doctor Suhel Ahmed who futuristically was dragging the NHS into a technological patient focused doctor/patient interface. So, if you care about your health, you most listen to Suhel's episode.
The Black Spy also featured Fraser Michell a Royal Air Force (RAF) Squadron Leader. His exciting life was covered in great detail and is a must listen for any would be Air Force recruit, military enthusiast or just those with all round general interests.
Early in this season Jade was on hand to pose the question that we all should, how does TV and films depictions of the police and violent society play into real life events. The unending series of US mass shootings alone, should make us all consider this question.
We hope you will listen with interest to all this season's episodes as well as all other Black Spy Podcast seasons.

The Black Spy Podcast
Season 4, Episode 0002
Is Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) at breaking point?
Is digital, AI and machine learning the way to make the NHS a preventative, rather than reactive, service? The Black Spy sits down with Dr Suhel Ahmed to answer these questions.
This week's episode attempts to answer the above questions concerning the UK’s NHS, which is factually of interest to every British citizen and anyone who seeks primary medical attention in the UK. This golden fleece of public health and society, is now under tremendous pressure and threat posts its initial success over the last 70 years.
In addition to touching on Dr. Ahmed early life as a youth in a poor working class family, of South Asian heritage, living in a lower class neighbourhood of a tough northern mill town, the Black spy learns how Suhel discovered his latent innate educational talent. Listeners learn how Suhel gains access to a prestigious school and knuckles down to study, setting his sights on becoming a medic.
Budding doctors will listen with interest as to how medics choose their direction and role within the medical profession in Britain. Many listeners will also no doubt be surprised at the level of privatisation that already exists in the NHS for General Practitioners (GPs).
The discussion also touches on the dire straits of NHS waiting lists, the time takes to see a GP, and the less than perfect solution of continuing audio only doctors’ telephone appointments, even post COVID.
Finally, the last half of the show looks at the extremely interesting way forward for the NHS. What technology is presently available, where the NHS is going in the near future, questions regarding privatising the NHS, employment companies’ responsibility for supporting their employees’ health and learning where individuals can gain the tools to check their health for themselves by utilising apps and free health kiosk etc. Dr. Ahmed also speaks of the importance of health and personal data in assisting positive health outcomes. In short, this is another Black Spy Podcast that is not to be forepassed.
This episode will be released on Monday 4th of April 2022

Black Spy Podcast - Season 4, Episode 1
In this week's episode of the Black Spy Podcast, Carlton King sits down with Jade, an avid consumer of TV and Film, as they discuss how well the filming arts portray the police and other such agencies.

Are there unforeseen consequences for British society of this dramatized American orientated view of British policing.
Can dramas be interesting if representation of bodies such as the police are performed more realistically, and do actors, directors and writers have a duty to consider these factors.
Finally, Carlton and Jade discuss those shows which seem to portray policing etc., most realistically, whilst being excellent dramas.
So, welcome to new and entertaining season of the Black Spy Podcast.

This week's Black Spy Podcast is the end of season 3 round up.
The Black Spy would like to thank all his guests in what was again an eclectic season. From the return of Jill, the straight talking no nonsense ex street drug worker, with her micro tough love advice for those unfortunate enough to be living with the addicted to the three macro giants of the global financial world, the Blockchain, Crypto, Fiat currency, Capitalism and the coming of the world’s new financial order.
We also gained great insight into the powerful entertainment industry from music, to TV, film to media as we learnt of one man’s journey though these genres to find his niche in the production, script and the director’s seat.
The world of sport was also not forgotten, as the Black Spy spoke to professional boxer, of double knock out fame, Marcello Render. This episode touched on the good, the bad and the ugly of the fight game.
The return of retired US Air Force Colonel, Edna Cumming, celebrated US Black History Month. At the time of the episode, Edna was close to finally winning her long overdue battle to gain recognition for the work undertaken by the 6888th during the Second World War. This segregated all Black female military unit was a postal battalion that served in the European theatre during war. However, due to racism the 6888th was overlooked by the country they served. However, due to the efforts of Colonel Cummings and colleagues, Congress passed a bill which was signed by President Byden into law this week. The 6888 are now receiving their long overdue Congressional recognition. The Black Spy Podcast also recognised another African American who had to fight for his and his people’s right to be treated equally as well as to perform the art he loved - acting. So in episode one of season 3 the Black Spy said goodbye to the late great Sir Sydney Poitier.
Finally in this season the Black Spy analysed two politicians and the potential grounds for their actions - President Vladimir Putin of Russia and Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Russian and Soviet history, the Cold War, Brexit, COVID 19 and Party gate.
As usual in ending a season, the Black Spy listened to you, his listeners and answered some of your questions.
So, keep listening, and see you in season 4.

A remarkable portrait of health, wealth and corruption in the fight game.

Once again in this episode, the Black Spy gets behind the glitz, glamour and potential wealth of a profession to dig in the weeds.

In this episode of The Black Spy Podcast, Carlton King once again speaks to African American female, retired US Army Colonel, Edna W. Cummings.
In honour of US Black History Month Listeners learn more of Colonel Edna Cummings' nigh on single handed endeavour to get a Congressional Gold Medal, awarded to the segregated 6888th battalion of black female soldiers that saw active duty in Europe, during in WW2. Unfortunately, due to the racist politics of the day, the actions of 6888th were never fully recognised. So, Colonel Cumming wishes to belatedly rectify this, taking the battle for recognition to the US Senate and the House of Representatives.
In addition to discussing the 6888th, The Black Spy and Colonel Cummings analyse the concept of 'Race' and who decides who is a member of the so called 'Black' race. Racism and Blackness through history are discussed and whether there is always time based progression in terms of civil rights and gender bias. As Colonel Cummings puts it, "It’s a history that has too long been hidden".
This episode is truly another fantastic Black Spy Podcast interview from which we can all learn.

Black Spy Podcast - Season 3, Episode 0006 - Jill Street Drug worker Part 2 By popular demand, this week’s episode of the Black Spy Podcast once again features Jill. As previously mentioned we've all heard of illegal 'drugs', many have tried them, experimented, abused and even enjoyed them. Governments have prohibited and outlawed them, and made efforts second only to combatting terrorism to stem the tide of them. Yet once again today's guest, who dealt with the street consequences of drugs, be they prescribed or illegal, provides The consequences of drug addicted on families, drug education, drug legalisation, alcoholism, prescription drug abuse and street dealers vs Mr Big.
a deep and thoughtful evaluation of how she sees the problem.
Once again, in this episode, Jill doesn't attempt to hide or perfume events. As we said previously, Jill clarified:
there was nothing fluffy about how I went about my activities as a drugs worker.
We further discussed the street economics and entrepreneurial opportunities of street dealing. The bitter, nasty and remorseless violence that the drugs trade often brings is also dissected.
Carlton also poses the question of the ethics of police action in the so called war on drugs with there seemingly being one rule for the poor and another for the rich, powerful and the well placed.
Once again this is another one of those must hear Black Spy Podcast episodes that will inform and intrigue.

The Black Spy, Carlton King, speaks with Ron Bienvenu about the future of world financial order and its geo-political consequences.
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 3, Episode 0005
This is the third in a trilogy of podcasts about what really makes the world go round - Money (finances).
How will the coming new financial order affect the world monetary system?
How will it effect everyday life?
How will you be effected?
What part will Crypto, NFT's and the Blockchain play?
And, geo-politically, what effect will this have on public order (disorder) globally and on individual nation states?
All of these questions are considered with author of ‘The Fourth Shock’, Ron Bienvenu, of Spear Point Capital.
The previous two Black Spy Podcast episodes in this fiscal trilogy featured Peter Smith, a City of London investment banker, concerning how many moves, the functionality of financial data and its usage, with Mathew Harrowing a major tech expert and this week's episode with, Ron Bienvenu, observing the present and future role of venture capitalism, big data, NFTs Crypto Currency and the Blockchain.
Finances are truly at the crossroad of power, its where industrial, monetary and military policy coalesses with the secret intelligence and national security outcomes that affect the life of everyday citizens and their finances; regardless of the prevailing political system. It matters not, if this political system is based on the aggressive Capital Democracy of the USA or the State Capitalism practiced in China.
This is another Black Spy Podcast episode that you can't afford to miss.

Data, Bitcoin, Crypto Currencies, The Blockchain, NFTs and the new world order. Mathew Harrowing explains all.
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 3, Episode 0004
Are you behind the curve with Crypto currencies, NFT's and the Blockchain?
Have you heard of this new world, but don’t understand it.
Have friends, colleagues or acquaintances told you of fabulous wealth gained or losses sustained?
Are you thinking of jumping in with both feet or selling what you seemingly foolishly bought, now the bubble seems to have burst?
Do these new entities have long term viability and what do they mean for the financial world, nation states, national security, criminality, the Police and geopolitics?
In this far reaching discussion with data and crypto specialist, Mathew Harrowing, Carlton King tries to get to the bottom of these questions and to gauge the true potential of what could be the most important change in world finance for a century.
This is truly a must hear Black Spy Podcast episode.

In this week's Black Spy Podcast Carlton King sits down with Liverpudlian, Peter Smith, one time wizz kid of the City of London investment banking world regarding his journey into realm of riches in the big smoke (London) and beyond. It’s a story that becomes all the more fascinating as we learn that after becoming the youngest ever broker in the UK at barely 18 years of age, Peter is responsible for his own good fortune.
After getting to know Peter, he and Carlton discuss where the real power lies in the world today. They explore the almost mythical role played by the City, Wall Street and the big banks and their equivalents in all societies and countries. The growth of fintech, the tech giants and the seemingly unending easy money that funds and drives many a questionable, as well as clearly ‘positive’, tech startups is also put under the microscope.
Finally, the future of the markets are also discussed, where does Crypto et’al fit in? They also examine the obvious importance of ‘the market’ and banking to the secret world, terrorism, extremism and geopolitics and politicians including the petty or indeed major corruption of the political classes.
As always, this episode of the Black Spy Podcast can only educate listeners as it delves into another aspect of life that is relatively unknown to those who do not inhabit its environs yet suffer real and sometime enormous consequences of the decision made within this realm.
This episode was released on Monday the 24th of January 2022.

The black arts of British politics, Boris Johnson, Covid regulations, immigration, Brexit & populism
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 3, Episode 0002
Truth and Lies British politics in the Johnson era
In this week's Black Spy Podcast we couldn’t but concentrate on the black arts of British politics as the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, comes under sustained pressure for his disregard of the government’s own Covid 19 regulations. It’s also a week when policing decisions, secret intelligence provided by the British Security Service (MI5), and the actions of foreign actors from China and perhaps beyond, are drawn into this political minefield.
Who is leaking the drip, drip feed of stories regarding the indiscretions of a hither to Teflon plated Prime Minister? Plus, the Prime Minister’s Office, No10 Downing Street, seems hell bent on not keeping to the Covid 19 regulations that it has imposed on everybody else in the nation.
The lackadaisical attitude of PM Boris Johnson has created a culture in government which manifests itself in a lack of attention to detail and a disregard for the truth. However, the propagation of a post Brexit Nirvana that is based on a mythical England (UK), now revamped in flag toting patriotic cynicism of blame; directed at the EU and immigrants, has given Boris a staggering degree latitude to manipulation the truth unchallenged.
So, in this session, Carlton will also look at the make up of the British political system crowned by the Royals, a lack of a written constitution, the role of MPs, Ministers, Secretaries of State, The upper House of Lords, Ladies and clergy, foreign donors, political influencers, Civil Servants, SPADs and even the intelligence and Security Services, Police and the judiciary
This is another must hear Black Spy Podcast that informs, entertains and allows listeners to contextualise the geo-politics of an era and a nation.

End of Season Two Review
Black Spy Podcast,
Season 2, episode 0011
Carlton King looks back at Season Two of his Black Spy Podcast.
Carlton highlights the diversity of the topics covered by him during this season from, was former King of England Edward the 7th a Nazis sympathiser? To, was senior member of the British Royal family, and the last Vice Roy of British India, Lord Louis Mountbatten, a paedophile? Both subjects were discussed with historian, author and the world's no 1 literacy agent, Andrew Lownie, during his guest appearance on the podcast.
The show also looks back a two guests who deal daily with the ravages of drug and alcohol abuse; prison Doctor, Tracy Hopwood who explains her decades long work in Britain’s prison system and Drug worker, Jill, who’s episode gets deep into the weeds of the everyday street reality of drug and alcohol abuse on regular family life. Carlton and Jill, also discussed the alleged drug abuse within Britain’s present day government and contemporary political elite; noting how society differentiates between the drug use of Britain’s different social classes as regards police enforcement and societal acceptance.
Another switch in emphasis was the great discussion with Hollywood and Hong Kong Kung Fu actor Winston Ellis. Winston, a three times world martial arts champion explained his incredible journey into the acting profession; including how he obtained a coveted role in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise starring Johnny Depp. What a guest!
Another really powerful episode dealt with gambling, or as guest Carl put it, the gaming industry. Carl, explained how he entered the industry in which, as he put it, gave him a good life. However, Carl was keen to leave listeners with no doubt that the industry always wins! Noting the now, all pervasive aspect of gambling in our daily lives, Carl provided his email to listeners at the end his discussion with Carlton. Carl wished to offer assistance to anyone who might be addicted to the industries multitude of present day offerings.
Looking back over this season we also brought a ‘Windrush Special’ to listeners. In this must hear episode, Carlton spoke to several 95 year old West Indian women who were children of the British Empire. Listeners learn how for 400 years they were British citizens and through their early lives believed they were no different than any other Brit. We hear of the women’s arrival from the Caribbean in the late 1940’s early 1950’s in what they universally called ‘the Mother Country’ - England. We hear of the old ladies bewilderment when regular British people didn’t see them as fellow Brits, even though, at the same time they had more racial freedom in Britain than in their Caribbean homelands. Most, if not all British Caribbean colonies had in place a quasi-apartheid system, with White Caribbean citizens or British expatriates at the top of society and Blacks at the bottom, with mixed race citizens somewhere in the middle with Indians and other imperial subjects.
This season also saw the great interview with author and firearms armourer, Did’s Hall. This episode dug deep into the issue of arming the British police, the difference between armed and non armed policing and the frankly surprising Hollywood shooting incident concerning the well known Hollywood ‘A’ list actor, Alex Baldwin.
Throughout every episode Carlton always made the connection between the regular world and the secret world of intelligence, national security, armed governmental close protection operations and geo-politics. To this end Carlton had an awesome sit down with veteran BBC reporter, ITV World in Action presenter and stalwart BBC flagship geopolitical investigative prime time programme presenter and producer of Panorama, John Ware. This full blown deep dive into the secret world of agents and intelligence gathering surrounding the Northern Ireland conflict, as well as John’s actions in getting MI5 senior officer, Peter Wright’s memoir “Spycatcher” published, was fascinating. This was a truly great episode.
However, for those seeking an even greater view into the real clandestine world of terrorism, surveillance, secret intelligence, national security and armed governmental personal protection operations, the two last episodes of this season fully delivered. These episodes delved deep into the little known secret world of Scotland Yard's Special Branch during Carlton sit down with ex Detective Inspector, Bob Pugh.
Bob spent 35 years in MPSB (the Metropolitan Police Special Branch) headquartered at the world famous Scotland Yard. ‘The Branch’, Britain’s Secret Police which was disbanded in 2006, had performed this national security role for more than 125 years, prior to it being disbanded, so Carlton and Bob, who were both long term senior members of The Branch, had much to discuss.
For any person with an interest in the clandestine world of spies and spy catchers Bob episodes are an unbelievable must listen experience.
This overview episode which explains these discussions in some depth, is consequently another Black Spy Podcast episode that educates whilst listeners are being simultaneously entertained.
This episode will be released on Monday 3rd of January 2022.

'The Branch’
(Part 2)
Season 2, Episode 0010
DI Bob Pugh, recollects his 35 years in Scotland Yard’s Special Branch (MPSB), Britain’s secret police
Again this week's episode brings listeners a practically never before heard view from behind the scenes in the secret world of Scotland Yard's Special Branch.
Formed in 1883, before the existence of the Security Service (MI5) in 1909, and The Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) in 1911, the Metropolitan Police Special Branch was Britain’s first accredited internal secret service.
Tasked with upholding the national security of the United Kingdom, The Branch would later share this role with MI5.
However, because MI5 is not a law enforcement unit and therefore has no police powers of arrest or compunction, the Security Service has always required the assistance of the Branch or the police in general.
Again in this week’s episode, Bob Pugh an ex Detective Inspector in the Branch, recollects his 35 years in MPSB and the exploits he undertook in the many departments and sections of The Branch.
This continues the fascinating discussion form last week, so for anybody who has any interest in the covert world of national security, secret intelligence and allied geopolitics it's another must listen show. In this second part of this two week discussion, we learn about MPSB's close protection role and we touch on its deep cover activities.
We also continue to touch on the Branch's investigative, secret intelligence and national security roles and the reasons for the Branch's eventual disbandment.
We speak of Scotland Yard Special Branch officers bodyguard and its, and the Branch's successor organisation - SO1.
We speak of the Branch's/SO1's responsibility for providing armed personal protection to Britain's highest ranking politicians (The Prime Minister, Foreign Secretary, Defence and Home Secretaries etc.) and UK wide responsibility for protecting visiting foreign Presidents, Prime Ministers and politically active Kings, Queens as well as other senior foreign politicians officially visiting the UK.
Once again we see why the Black Spy Podcast provides listeners with unrivalled access to the secret clandestine world, whilst also informing and entertaining. So subscribe not to miss an episode. Its free.

In this week’s episode, Bob Pugh an ex Detective Inspector in the Branch, recollects his 35 years in MPSB and the exploits he undertook in the many departments and sections of The Branch.
This is a fascinating discussion for anybody who has at least the slightest interest in the covert world of national security, secret intelligence and allied geopolitics. In this discussion, which lasts over two episodes, we learn how MPSB officers were recruited, the examinations they had to pass to be selected, the vetting system officers had to undergo to be granted unfettered access to the top secret information, documentation and intelligence MPSB officers required to undertake their national security task.
We also learn of the investigative, secret intelligence and national security training MPSB officers had to undergo to gain the level of competence required to perform counter intelligence, counter subversion, counter terrorism, counter extremism and counter proliferation roles undertaken by Scotland Yard's Special Branch.
Moreover, many Scotland Yard Special Branch officers additionally underwent high level bodyguard and surveillance training as MPSB had the national responsibility for combatting Irish Republican extremism/terrorism and global responsibility for providing personal armed protection to Britain's top politicians (The Prime Minister, Foreign Secretary, Defence and Home Secretaries etc.) and UK wide responsibility for protecting visiting foreign Presidents, Prime Ministers and politically active Kings, Queens as well as other senior foreign politicians officially visiting the UK.
So, as you can see, once again Black Spy Podcast provides listeners with unrivalled access to the secret clandestine world, whilst also informing and entertaining listeners.

Sit down with Pirates of the Caribbean film star and 3 times World Martial Arts champion, Winston Ellis
Black Spy Podcast Season 2, Episode 0008
This week’s Black Spy Podcast sees the Black Spy, Carlton King, sit down with film star and 3 times World Martial Arts champion, Winston Ellis.
Born to Jamaican parents in Reading Berkshire, Winston explains the frankly fascinating way he became an actor, in a time when there were very few Black actors in the UK. However, Winston would go on to star alongside Johnny Depp and Kiera Knightley in the 2nd and 3rd Pirates of the Caribbean movies as well as have parts in ‘Hollywood’ movies such as: Cass, Batman the Dark Knight, Shiner, starring Michael Caine, and most recently the latest James Bond movie: 'No Time To Die'.
Winston also explains how he used his martial arts skills to star in numerous Hong Kong based ‘Kung Fu’ movies with such actors as Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Jean Claude Van Damme, Roger Moore, Robert Samuels and Mark Houghton.
Their discussion touches on Winston’s childhood in 70's and 80's England, as well as how Winston's personal journey mimics that of Carlton’s in many ways, albeit Carlton's childhood was a decade earlier in the 1960's.
Like Carlton, Winston battled with dyslexia, the indifference of some fellow citizens and the latent institutional racism of society and England's education system.
We hear how Winston gained disciple and worked with his problems to settle down and focus on his prowess in the martial arts which culminated in him becoming a world martial arts champion, an actor, film producer and director.
More recently Winston has transitioned to the small screen starring in Sky Atlantics Penny Dreadful, starring Josh Hartnett, Timothy Dalton and Eva Green. Dr Who, with Peter Capaldi, The Bill, Hustle, Judge John Deed, Dream Team, Doctors and Holby City. Winston is presently in the process of producing three movies, which will feature major international stars.
Winston and Carlton also discuss the secret world, in particular Armed Governmental personal protection operations, as Carlton hears how Winston dabbled in the private protection world with some interesting characters.
This episode is another must listen Black Spy Podcast, were entertainment meets, information and education.

Season 2, episode 0007
'Windrush Special’
Britain as through the eyes of the 95 year old pioneers who made the journey to “Mother Country”
This week's special episode brings listeners another seldom heard and insightful view into a current event, with historical roots in the macro geo-political world of the age of empire.
This time the event being analysed through the eyes of the everyday citizens who experienced it, is the so called Windrush affair. In discussion with two 95 year olds and two somewhat younger, Carlton explores the mentality of colonialism, the lifestyle of the colonisers and that of the colonised. We hear the ladies recollections of their country, Barbados, in the 1930s, the apartheid system that had been in place under British rule for more that 300 years, the codification of race the island, with blacks being 2nd if not 3rd class citizens, the restrictions of class and the English centric colonial education system. The ladies speak of the effect of WW2 in the Caribbean and the take up of the call to arms within the Caribbean in general.
Later, the ladies speak of their arrival in Britain, the culture shock of seeing poor working class white people and the shock of realising that, as Barbadians, contrary to what they’d been taught all their lives, they were not British and not necessarily wanted. Interestingly the ladies seem to notice a difference between the welcome from Londoners and that obtained by those who settled in Northern England.
Listeners will be informed, no doubt enjoy, and frankly, be moved, by some of the recollections of this trip down memory lane by the nonagenarians.
In short, this is another Black Spy Podcast that is not to be forepassed.

'The Troubles, The IRA, Spycatcher and The Australian Prime Minister – A sit down with veteran Panorama and World in Action journalist and producer John Ware'
This week's Black Spy Podcast brings listeners another great opportunity to delve into the secret world, this time with veteran ITV, BBC and press journalist/producer and author, John Ware, specialising in national security, Irish terrorism, espionage, politics and police corruption.
John explains his journalistic connections with IRA and loyalist contacts, as well as Special Branch officers from the former Royal Ulster Constabulary.
John also speaks of his efforts to get former senior Security Service officer Peter Wright's best selling expose, 'Spycatcher', off the ground. He and Carlton examine the security service and the British government's attempt to prevent Spycatcher being published utilising an Australian court.
John recollects his 'battle' with Peter Wright's solicitor, the subsequent Australian Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull.
During this episode John also delves deep into the dirty world of secret intelligence during the Northern Ireland conflict, from the 'loyalist', Republican and indeed the security forces perspective.
Amongst many other issues, state collusion and the role of 'terrorist' agents are also placed under John and Carlton's microscope.
Listeners will enjoy this sit down with John, as we take the show back to its truly secret roots. Hold on to your hats, guys and girls, whilst the lid is well and truly lifted off the secret world.

Hollywood shooting death, how could it happen? Should the British Police be Armed? - A conversion with author, armourer and firearms instructor, Dids Hall.
This week's Black Spy Podcast brings you a thought provoking discussion with Did's Hall, author, armourer and firearms instructor. Did's and Carlton discuss firearms in society, including:
- The questionable shooting death of a Hollywood producer by a world famous actor.
- Do the movies get firearms use correct.
- Carlton asks Did's which actor, in his option, portrays the most realistic use of firearms in a movie.
- Should all British police be routinely armed?
- Should civilians have the right to bare arms?
- Can police be fully professional if they don't routinely carry firearms.
- Does being unarmed mean that British police, must police by consent, whereas the routinely armed police of other countries don't?

'Drug addiction, alcohol, abuse and the clandestine world'
This episode of the Black Spy Podcast will be one of pure learning for most listeners. Yes we've all heard of 'drugs'. Many have tried them, experimented, abused and even enjoyed them. Governments have prohibited and outlawed them, and made efforts second only to combatting terrorism to stem the tide of them. Yet today's guest, who deals with the street consequences of drugs, be they prescribed or illegal, believes government's efforts have been confused from the beginning.
This week's Black Spy Podcast sit down, with another expert from a walk of life that we often hear little from, doesn't attempt to hide or perfume events. As Jill says:
“there was nothing fluffy about how I went about my activities as a drugs worker.”
The street economics and entrepreneurial opportunities of street dealing are discussed. The bitter, nasty and remorseless violence that the trade can bring about are dissected, as are the often stated links to prostitution and abuse.
Carlton also poses the question:
“why is it that every politician who ran for the leadership of Britain's Conservative Party, including the present Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, admitted to taking illegal drugs, often cocaine, yet none seemed to have suffered police action even when technically at least one minister admitted to supply. Is one of the problems with drug use, simply a matter of affordability? Why do the wealthy seem to suffer less enforcement against them?”
So frankly, once again this is another one of those must hear Black Spy Podcast episodes that will inform and intrigue.

'A UK Prison Doctor's view of rehabilitation, serial killers, offender management and causal effects of drugs and drink in prisons'
The Black Spy Podcast brings you another hard hitting, thought provoking and educational discussion, this time with UK Prison medic, Dr. Tracy Hopwood, who has spent years working in all of Britain's prison categories (Prisons in the UK are placed into alphabetical categories from 'open prisons category D to maximum security prisons Cat A). During this sit down Carlton and Tracy discuss the various prison regimes, the abuse of drugs in prisons, prison violence, the ingenious alcoholic drinking concoctions made by prisoners, the corrupting of officials and the atmosphere of fear generated in prisons that effects both staff and inmates.
We learn of Doctor Hopwood's journey into 'prison medicine', why she finds it rewarding and her inner most thoughts on the capacity of prison to rehabilitate.
Carlton also recounts his experience of prisons from around the world, and questions the UK ability in this sphere.
Dr Hopwood speaks of the absolute resourcefulness of some prisoners, their chameleon like ability to fit in to the prison system in order to seek release or fool those tasked with judging their suitability for release. Dr Hopwood also mentions how she was shocked by the sheer charismatic exhibited by some serial killers.
Finally, Carlton and the Tracy discuss his attempts to speak to various prisoners including the infamous, Carlos the Jackal, in Paris, suicide bombers in Israel and the right wing Brixton nail bomber David Copeland in the UK.
In short, this is another Black Spy episode that defies simple analysis by surpassing the show's aim of educating listeners whilst also entertaining them.

'Brexit, empire, the Traitor King & paedophilia in high office'
This hard hitting discussion with author, publisher, historian and the best selling literary agent in the world, Andrew Lownie, delves deep into Britain's past present and future, as uncomfortable histories are brought out into the cold light of day.
From skeletons in the Royal cupboard - treachery with Hitler and paedophilia at the highest military rank – to the Empire, Brexit and free trade verses protectionism the discussion freely meanders around the question of what are actual state and national security secrets as opposed to attempts to prevent 'individual' embarrassment. The episode also discusses changes in the British civil service, the increased prominence of SPADs (Special Advisors) and the competence of ministers within the British governmental system. Moreover, the programme assesses the importance of Scotland Yard's Special Branch as a one time long standing security service within the 'British police'. Furthermore, the discussion touches on the danger to all British intelligence and security services, of outing MPSB officers. As, if the UK can out its own clandestine officers, then how future agents have confidence that British intelligence will protect them. Such actions are a clear death knell, for any country's intelligence and security agencies.
In this extended episode listeners truly learn how difficult it normally is to gain an insight into the secret world as Andrew explains what he did to gain the knowledge he required to write his in-depth biographies.
If you're seriously interested in the clandestine world, this episode is a must hear and its revelations will inform and educate many, if not most listeners about matters long hidden from view.
Andrew now awaits the result of a very personally expensive legal adjudication concerning he right to obtain access to Lord Mountbatten's public dairies. Papers which could shine an even brighter light on some of his questionable activities!
Carlton intends to have Andrew back on The Black Spy Podcast when this occurs.

The Black Spy Podcast, Season 2, episode 0000
'Listeners questions, a review of last season and the themes going forward'
Season Two of The Black Spy Podcast blasts off with the Black Spy answering the most asked questions from season One. Posed by Dan, his web director, Carlton answers the questions in depth utilising examples from his clandestine life.
Dan kicks off by asking Carlton about the coming season, so he spokes of Patreon and outlines guests such as Author, literary agent and publisher Andrew Lownie, the number one selling agent in the world.
Carlton is asked to provide his opinion of some of the best and most realistic espionage, undercover and protection orientated movies. Dan also asks if, like in the US with the Patriot Act, whether post 9/11 Carlton and colleagues in Special Branch, MI5 and MI6 obtained extra powers to bug and surveil suspects? Carlton fully explains his answer to this question and highlights the difference between the UK and the USA in this sphere.
An answer to one of Dan's questions elicits two examples from Carlton's past operations including his actions against an IRA hit team (aka Active Service Unit) and the shooting of a Palestinian assassin who shot the Israeli Ambassador in London.
Carlton speaks of the duplicity of politicians, and provides examples of this as regards the above mentioned operations and the fact that he was head hunted to take on the role as head of the Iraqi Mukhabarat (Secret Police or Special Branch) after the invasion of Iraq.
Carlton also answers questions concerning the validity of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Would he have advised undertaking them?
He's asked about the support of Saddam Hussein for some Palestinian terror groups and the activities of Israel and its secret services in Israel and the occupied territories. Dan also asks about the genesis of the Palestinian, Israeli conflict.
Dan questions Carlton concerning his firearms training as a secret agent? Carlton explains the different between the general limited level of firearms training in MI6, as opposed to the high degree of firearms training in some sections of Scotland Yard's Special Branch and subsequently SO1 Specialist Protection. Carlton explains the concept of horses of courses and the need for firearms training etc.
This is a far reaching extended episode around several themes of revision and setting the scene for future episodes with guests from varied walks of life such as: the gaming industry, a doctor in the UK prison establishment dealing with serial killers and drug abusers, 'A' list actors, a Premier League footballer, a leading drug, sex and abuse worker, a professional boxer, a major City (of London) financier, a TV & Movie producer, a top paparazzi and a man who made a fortune in crypto currency and lost it. And of course, The Black Spy will always explore the synergies with the Secret World.

In the week's episode of the Black Spy Podcast, Carlton discusses the incredible life of Jayne Bond, a woman who was born into difficult circumstances on an Ipswich council estate (somewhat akin to the projects in the USA), but would end up with her fingers in many pies, from gold to diamonds, jewellery, to promotions, mental health charities to the British Football Association.
Listeners also learn how Jayne first worked for the British Royal family at the Queen Mother's residence – Clarence House, before, through a series of incredible twists and turns, embarking on a career in buying and selling Jewellery.
Using her innate capacity to simply 'make things happen and an ability to learn and meet challenges head on in a man's industry, Jayne nevertheless became an accomplished and profitable buyer.
In the course of their discussion, listeners will later hear how Jayne diversified into gold and diamonds and the effect that 9/11 had on the gold trade.
During their sit down, Carlton also discusses the connection between the secret world, regular crime and the utility of diamonds and gold as the ultimate materials of barter and store of wealth.
If you ever wanted to know how a women of little means can break into an old fashioned 'jobs for the boys' world, this is the episode to listen to.
In short, this week's Black Spy Podcast is a great example to any person who wishes to achieve a goal, that in the first instance they don't appear 'qualified' for, but know in their heart that they can undertake.
Jayne Bond - Diamonds and Gold – is simply another entertaining, intriguing and motivating must listen Black Spy Podcast episode.

In this episode of The Black Spy Podcast, Carlton King explores the life and times of African American female, retired US Army Colonel, E. W. Cummings.
Listeners learn that from her earliest memories Colonel Cummings was imbibed into the covenant of official secrets.
Colonel Cummings' father, an elite soldier (82nd Airborne), undertook three tours of Vietnam; returning from his last, "more dead than alive".
So years later after gaining a degree from University, it was no surprise when Colonel Cummings followed in her heroic father's foot steps and joined the US military as an Army officer. After all, she believed that the desegregated US military would offer a black person the best chance of progression in the racially charged America of the 60's and 70's.
However, once in the military Colonel Cummings found that it was her gender that appeared to place the greatest barriers to her achieving a successful career.
Nevertheless, she explains how some well placed white male officers helped unlock her latent potential, allowing her to grow into an excellent officer and leader.
We also learn that Colonel Cummings undertook an array of sensitive deployments both in the military and after her retirement, fostering and leading emergency homeland security
liaison, between the military, the FBI and various other Federal Agencies.
Finally, in this amazing interview, we learn of Colonel Cummings' nigh on single handed endeavour to get a congressional gold medal, awarded to the segregated 6888 unit of black female soldiers that saw active duty in Europe, during in WW2. Unfortunately, due to the racist politics of the day, the actions of 6888 were never recognised. So Colonel Cumming wishes to belatedly rectify this, taking the battle for recognition to the US Senate and the House of Representatives.
This is truly another fantastic Black Spy interview from which we all can learn.

Carlton explains how the British, Soviet and American empires' fear of being weak, lead them all, over the last 150 years, into the graveyard of Aghanistan. He also looks at the potency of religion and the tendency of revolutions in general to eat themselves.
Carlton explains that his Afghan knowledge base has be honed over 30 years of operating in, on and about Aghanistan. He provides the example of his unsuccessful action, on behalf of the Chief if MI6, to prevent the US invasion of Afghanistan after 9/11.

In this episode Carlton answers questions from readers of his memoir, Black Ops – The incredible true story of a British secret agent, social media followers and subscribers to Black Spy Podcast.
Carlton's Web editor Dan poses the questions to him from these subscribers etc.
- Like Prime Minister's Questions in the UK, Carlton will have no advanced knowledge of the questions to be posed, so his answers can not be diplomatic or vanilla.
Listeners will thereby learn Carlton's real thought from his own experiences, warts and all.
These Q&A sessions will also provide listeners with the answers to questions they’ve always sought to ask, but had nobody to pose the question to who might conceivably be able to provide a factual answer, or an informed opinion.
Therefore, from so call conspiracy theories that listeners have always thought were viable under the opaque cloak of secrecy to questions such as how can I join the Secret Services, all will be openly accessible.
Clearly Carlton can only answer questions to the best of his knowledge and in line with the strictures of the draconian Official Secrets Act!

In this episode Carlton discusses some of his interactions with Royalty. Although Special Branch did not protect British Royalty, Carlton's path did cross with the Royal family’s including the Queen and her consort. Carlton explains how the Branch was responsible for protecting foreign Royals who also happen to be political entities such as heads of state or government in their countries etc.
Carlton shares some of these Royal recollections in this episode. Startling for some, Carlton provides his interpretation that Royal life and strictures appear oppressive to some outsiders entering into the fold. Carlton believes his analysis is borne out by at least two female interlocutors into Britain's Royal body politic who found the system to be so restrictive that it damaged their physical and mental well-being, leading to their downfall.
Did Carlton experience early signs of this when encountering one of those female Royals many years earlier? You decide!
As always after listening to this episode of Carlton's recollections listeners will be better informed and hence more able to have their own informed opinion on such matters.

The UK is one of the most secretive countries in the world when it comes to its Intelligence and Security apparatus. Indeed, until 1997 the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) didn’t officially exist!
American listeners will surely be intrigued to know that the average British citizen knows more about the FBI and CIA than they due about their own agencies. Moreover, most Brits were not aware of the secret nature of Scotland Yard's Special Branch or its present-day rump quasi successor, S015 the Counter Terrorism Command. So, in this episode Carlton King explains the basic tenets of this world and the effect of its work on UK and indeed world citizens. Carlton also explains how world’s agencies generally functions and why he was uniquely placed to perform these duties.
