MI5 Spies Lies & Whistleblowers | Annie Machon | Podcast #271

Posted on 16 June 202216 June 2022 by Chris Thrall

MI5 Spies, Lies & Whistleblowers, features Annie Machon, an ex-intelligence officer & whistleblower on her former organisation’s operations.

MI5 Spies, Lies & Whistleblowers | Annie Machon

Annie Machon is a former intelligence officer for MI5 who resigned to help blow the whistle on her organisation’s clandestine operations. She is now a writer, political campaigner and highly requested public speaker.

Transcript from ‘MI5 Spies, Lies & Whistleblowers’ podcast

Annie – ,The key point is to get the balancing act of oversight and accountability within the country from which they’re operating. I’m not trying to say they’re all evil. Rogue elements that go ahead and do things without trying to get accountability, create the problem. Intelligence agencies are operating outside government and democratic control. That means they can commit crimes with impunity.

If you’re talking about 9/11, I presume you are, David was very outspoken about that. I did take an interest in the very shallow waters around that and some very credible people came out of the intelligence agencies.

2 Para Battle For Goose Green | Nigel ‘Spud’ Ely | S.A.S. | #270

Posted on 13 June 202213 June 2022 by Chris Thrall

2 Para battle for Goose Green, features Nigel Ely, who served in the Falklands war, going on to become an S.A.S. trooper.

2 Para Battle For Goose Green | Nigel ‘Spud’ Ely

Nigel ‘Spud’ Ely is a veteran of 2 Para and the Special Air Service. He has served all over the globe and is a top-selling author. In this podcast, Nigel gives us his detailed version of events from the battle of Goose Green. He will also be a guest speaker at our forthcoming Falklands 40th anniversary event.

Transcript from ‘2 Para Battle For Goose Green’ podcast

Nigel – We had 20 odd prisoners but the heavy arms firing hadn’t died down they were still mortaring Darwin hill. They were still mortaring our positions eith artillery and then they flew in special forces in Huey’s and a couple of Chinooks. Then with these prisoners, these two Pakaras came around and didn’t attack. They came back again about 10 minutes later and they one of them dropped Napalm! They dropped a Napalm bomb and it actually dropped about 20 meters from me, well I’d say about 15 meters from me.

The momentum went away from me and missed the prisoners, but it singed me and it singed a couple of the other guys, so that’s how close it was. That combined with John Knox telling the Argies where we were, just made us enraged. What the hell are they doing dropping Napalm? This is fucking crazy you know, it’s outlawed.

https://youtu.be/H1QX36PBxlk

A Good Death…With No Questions Asked

Jacqui Deevoy is a freelance journalist who has spent many years writing for major British newspapers. Around two years ago she began investigating how a banished euthanasia program had returned to British hospitals, coinciding with the onset of 2020’s global medical crysis. This program includes greatly increased use of the respiratory depressant drug midazolam.

Transcript from ‘A Good Death’ podcast

Jacqui – You can get 14 years as a jail sentence if you commit euthanasia or involuntary euthanasia. A more interesting thing that came to me. The more I realized that it wasn’t just elderly people and it wasn’t just terminally ill people in my group. I set up a Whatsapp support group for all the people that were coming to me and I’m adding to it weekly.

The people who were killed, were not terminally ill and they weren’t old. I’ve got four or five people in the group, whose relative or loved one were in their 50’s.

The UNTOLD Falklands War | Dave Jackson Royal Marines

Dr David Jackson is a former Royal Marines Signaller who served in both Northern Ireland and the Falklands War. He is part of the award-winning play, Minefield, which has successfully toured the world, including Argentina.

Transcript from ‘The UNTOLD Falklands War’ podcast

Dave – I saw this advert and decided that’s what I wanted to do. I sort of gave up on education. I just did the the minimum and I always joked that I got a low level in geography CSE grade one, so I could read a map in the marines. That’s always been my sort of narrative about my school experience. So I joined two weeks after my sixteenth birthday in 1974. I didn’t want to be carrying heavy weights, so I decided I fancied being a signaller and I went on to do an RS course.

SAS Rescue & Taking Back South Georgia | Mick Eivers

Michael Eivers is a veteran of the Royal Navy and served aboard the HMS Antrim during the Falklands conflict. Mick’s detailed account goes into the rescue of SAS troopers during a whiteout, taking out the Argentine submarine, Santa-Fe and dealing with damage onboard his ship.

Transcript from ‘SAS Rescue & Taking Back South Georgia’ podcast

Mick – We took them almost up to Ascension island and then transferred them all to other vessels. Then they were going to be repatriated via Uruguay and once we’d carried this out, we then joined up with the main task force. I’ll tell you something now that they come into play later. On the upper deck it was warm so we must have still been around Ascension. I remember looking up and I could see this Vulcan bomber flying overhead. I thought it was part of the task force.

Not knowing anything about black book missions and I only found out about all that later. We we’re heading back down to the Falklands and some of the ships had already been down there. They had been firing on Argentine positions, naval gunfire support, that that sort of thing. Probably inserting Special Forces for reconnaissance and eventually told that we were going to escort the main landings.

The Ghost Debunker | Richard Case | Bought The T-Shirt Podcast #265

Posted on 1 June 20221 June 2022 by Chris Thrall

The Ghost Debunker features Richard Case, who has been featured on national television and radio, as a sceptical paranormal investigator.

The Ghost Debunker | Richard Case | Bought The T-Shirt Podcast

Former policeman Richard Case, is often featured on BBC and Talk Radio as a contributor, investigating paranormal activity and debunking ghost stories. He is also a witchcraft historian, writer and presenter.

Transcript from ‘The Ghost Debunker’ podcast

Richard – How do you define a ghost? The truth of the matter is, nobody actually knows what a ghost is. You see these people on television or you even see them on Youtube with all their gadgets. The funny thing is, they don’t really know what one is. How they can detect one is beyond me. They believe there is an afterlife and many people believe that they can just appear.

Something major happens in a house, like a murder and the building records the event. So you’re not seeing ghosts that you can interact with. What you’re actually seeing is a recording of it. Sometimes people are there at that precise moment and other times they’re not. I’ll give you a quick example.

The World’s Longest Kill | Sniper Craig Harrison | Podcast #263

Posted on 23 May 202223 May 2022 by Chris Thrall

The World’s Longest Kill features Craig Harrison, who was an expert sniper from the Blues and Royals, within the British Army.

The World’s Longest Kill | Sniper Craig Harrison

Craig Harrison is a former Corporal of Horse in the Blues and Royals. From 2009 to 2017, he held the record for the longest confirmed sniper kill in combat.

Transcript from ‘The World’s Longest Kill’podcast

Craig – I went down to teach in Pirbright for two years and ended up doing my course there. I ended up being an instructor.

Chris – So out of how many people rock up for these courses and how many pass them?

Craig – You can have about 30 on the course. You go through different fitness phases and then they weed you out. So you end up with either 10 on the course or 12 on the course. They hit you hard because as a sniper you’ve got to know you field crafts as well as your discipline. Being mature as well, as you’re shooting and everything’s got to be there. You’ve got to be the whole package really. It’s funny, my chief instructor was a marine down there.

Chris – What did you picture in your mind when you wanted to become a sniper?

Craig – Everyone’s got this idea you go out with a rifle, look through a scope and you shoot people. It’s actually to gather live information on the battlefield.

Old School Farang On Escaping Certain Death & Thailand Adventures | #262

Posted on 23 May 202223 May 2022 by Chris Thrall

Old School Farang On Escaping Certain Death & Thailand Adventures, features Paul Wallis, author of The Essential Guide To Living In Thailand.

Old School Farang On Escaping Certain Death & Thailand Adventures

Paul Wallis has lived in Thailand over 30 years and is the author of, ‘The Essential Guide To Living In Thailand’.

Transcript from ‘Old School Farang On Escaping Certain Death & Thailand Adventures’ podcast

Paul – I’m with you on that one Chris. We’re on the same path to spiritual enlightenment, you and I yes definitely. Whereas Buddhism talks about reincarnation and I’m guessing people would probably take that literally. Like you know I may come back as a pig in the next life.

Chris – For me Paul it’s more that we’re all universe and we come from a unified field, we come from a unified source and we go back to source when we die.

Paul – Exactly so we can’t die and we’re always going to be here, that’s right. I have no fear of death and I’m sure you don’t either. I should tell you that I had an out of body experience once and it was very short. At the age of 21 I came off a motorcycle in Crete and banged on the ground. At the very moment I banged on the ground, I’m looking down on myself and the bike back wheel was going round. There was white exhaust smoke and the loud noise of the engine, because the throttle was stuck open. I looked at myself and I thought, wow I’m outside and then bang, I was right back.
