UK And EU Army? Our Orwellian Future | Podcast #159
‘Will UK military merge with EU Army?’ is the question I asked former para signaler, Mike McCarthy, a director of Veterans for Truth. Mike explains to me why the UK military has no choice but to become part of the EU army defence force. It has already been decided.
‘Will UK military merge with EU Army?’
‘Are we heading for a 1984-like Orwellian future’ and ‘will the UK military merge with EU Army?’ is the fascinating podcast chat Chris Thrall had with former parachute regiment signaler Mike McCarthy.
Transcript from ‘Will UK military merge with EU Army? Podcast #159
C – How are you?
M – Good my brother. I’ve just been out on the hills and I’ve spent my whole day up there, so it was a great. The weather started out as such a beautiful day here in southern Ireland and then the hail came down. So we had a hail storm. We had everything today. The weather was wonderful and great anyway.
C – It is so important to get out mate isn’t it and to make that connection with nature so we don’t get too freaking tunnel-visioned by all this technological, urban, ugliness.
M -You’ve got to be out rain or shine, every single day and yes it’s beautiful. I think it was Kurt Vonnegut whom said, ‘We’re here to have a good time and don’t let anyone tell you different’. Whatever we’re going through, this is the day we’ve been given and we should make it a good one. I try and do that everyday.

SAS Paras Royal Marines To Be REBRANDED EU! | #158
SAS Paras & Royal Marines to be rebranded by The EU! We’re losing the control and identity of our UK armed forces to the European Defence Forces and the ‘global’ agenda.
SAS Paras & Royal Marines To Be REBRANDED EU!
SAS Paras & Royal Marines To Be REBRANDED EU! We’re losing the control and identity of our UK armed forces to the European Defence Forces and the ‘global’ agenda. No one knows or cares!
Transcript snippet from ‘SAS Paras & Royal Marines To Be REBRANDED EU!’
C – Hello Dave and what have you got for me this week. Is the face of the Royal Marines changing for the better or worse?
D – Very good morning to you Chris and a big shout out to all the fellow bootnecks and frontline units there. Well we’ve sort of rounded the revelations made yesterday at the defence committee and we’ve had this integrated review finally being released. It’s full but of course what they’ve done over the previous months is this stuff keeps being drifted out in little snippets. Just as if it’s like a softening up exercise. So there’s several things happening in the same time frame. So let’s go with the Royal Marines and Stonehouse. We’ve got the same M.O. as drifting this stuff out in the press, so they want to shut Stonehouse. That’s the cultural centre of the Royal Marines. We’re seeing this gambit of a Rangers force coming in. The concept of this unification of our military was articulated by our permanent secretary back in 2015.

Transcript snippet from ‘Tornado Pilot | Tim Davies’ podcast
Chris and Tim
C – Tim, how are you brother?
T – Good thanks Chris, lovely to be hear.
C – Yes, now we got to pretend like we haven’t been talking for the last hour.
T – You’ve ruined everything!
C – Our secret is out.
T – Exactly
C – Well my gosh, again I’m so lucky doing what I do Tim you know. I really get to chat, not only to the most fascinating people on the planet, but all the people if I was to have my choice in life, who am I going to chat to today, it’s going to be people like yourself. So thank you so much for coming and sharing your wisdom and your experience. A fighter pilot, how did that come about?
T – You know it’s interesting because I was actually a bomber pilot. When you say you’re a bomber pilot to the civilian community they don’t understand what that is because they’ve seen Top Gun and you know I get it. I was a Tornado GR4 pilot, which is the aircraft you can see just on the back over here. As we said previously before we came on air, father was in the military. Fathers, fathers, father was in the military. So I ended up going into the military…

Chris and Matt
C – Matt, blue skies brother, how are you doing?

You have a fascinating history and an amazing Youtube channel that I suggest anybody listenining has a quick surf over there once they’re done here. It’s aviation, drones, I’m trying to pick my technical words carefully, especially as a pilot, albeit a private one. But yes, what a history you’ve got mate.
M – I was obsessed with aviation and flying since a child, it’s all I ever wanted to do and I think that has led over into where I am now, so 36 years all squeezed in and I’ve managed to squeeze a lot into it.

Chris and Chris
C – Chris, how are you Sir?
C – I’m very well thank you, it’s an honour to be invited onto your show, so thank you.
C – The pleasure is all mine and it’s an honour to meet someone of your calibre and I don’t say that lightly. One of my philosophies in life is to get out there and smash it! You only get one life and when it’s gone, it’s gone. We met through Linked in and when you send your CV over, not like you have to do that these days, it must be quite hard to narrow your one down.
C – That’s really kind of you to say. I mean I follow your philosophy, you’ve got one life so get the maximum use of it.

Chris and Andy
C – Andy it’s great you could join us, thank you.
A – Chris it’s an absolute pleasure to be here.
C – Yeah it’s great, having a podcast you get to speak to so many people you have things in common with. Out of that sharing you get great conversation. Sometimes I forget to press record on the podcast! I’ve lost all that, that’s consigned to history now. So, my gosh, we hooked up on linked in, and I’m very fortunate to meet people on linked in with such rich histories and experiences such as yours Andy. From the Red Arrows to commercial airline pilot. Anyone who grew up in my era watched a film called Airplane, it was a spoof of all the jumbo jet movies of the seventies and eighties.
