A critical & spiritual thinker, Joel speaks with Chris about the true nature of life & how we can attain a higher understanding of our part in the universe.

Transcript from ‘Awake NAVY SEAL Taking Down The Globalists’ podcast

Joel – They start waking up and they start seeing the manipulation. Have you seen a movie called, Out of Shadows? It was about pedophilia and satanism in Hollywood. The guy who did that movie is Mike Smith, a very close friend of mine. He and I worked together on some projects in Hollywood and such and we’ve been great friends for 20 years or so. When he did that, I was one of the first people to see it. It was a huge deal as he sacrificed his amazing Hollywood career as a stunt man and second unit director. He was working more than he ever wanted to work and just raking in the dough.

It just got to the point where he’s like, I have to spread the knowledge that I I have to say this. What is the prophet, a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul? So he did the movie and of course it was the end of his Hollywood career.

I was tear gassed by the French police and I’ve got it on video, it’s brilliant. We went to one of the notorious migrant camps on the outskirts of Paris.

Chris – Were you trying to prove a political point?

Lee – We didn’t go in with a bias, we went there with a purpose. We didn’t want to go in with any preconceptions. But we didn’t want to go in there and then to be the focus of what we’re going to see.

His book was finished by Robbie and Scotty Greig of The Royal Highland Fusiliers.

Transcript from ‘The Royal Marines Baghdad Cookbook’ podcast

Robbie – It’s actually the brainchild of Al Boyd, who was a former senior NCO in the in the Royal Marines. We worked together in Iraq as contractors. There’s three of us, myself, Al and Scotty Greig. He had this idea for a cookbook with dits and stories about people that he’d come into contact with. From the core and working out in Iraq.

The next thing we knew, he’d written the first chapter and he’d written the first draft of this book. Then Alan, the selfish git, went and died on us, so unfortunately he didn’t get a chance to see it through. Alan passed away in 2013 with leukemia and so I picked up the batton.

Veterans’ Anger As Government Deny Suicide Rates #318

Posted on 3 February 20239 February 2023 by Chris Thrall

Veterans’ Anger As Government Deny Suicide Rates, features former Royal Marines Commando and Falklands veteran, WO2 Jeff Williams.

Veterans’ Anger As Government Deny Suicide Rates

Veterans’ Anger As Government Deny Suicide Rates, features former Royal Marines Commando, Jeff Williams. After a long service in the corps and as a Falklands veteran, Jeff finished his career as a Warrant Officer Class 2.

Transcript from ‘Veterans’ Anger As Government Deny Suicide Rates’ podcast

Jeff – One of our brothers took his life and I was just shocked. As you can probably remember from your service Chris, it was something that was never happened. All of a sudden, a royal marine has commited suicide. I was quite taken back by it, so I did a bit of backroom research. I found out it was more commonplace than I thought, especially in the aftermath of Afghanistan. The toil that that took out of our troops, across the board. I spoke to a few veteran friends and said, you know what’s going on and it seems like we’ve missed something here. There’s a key and it’s really important to the veterans community. On the back of that conversation, myself and Simon Marion started Veterans United Against Suicide.

It’s a group of like-minded people whom want the best for veterans. To try and reduce the losses which are astronomical. We challenge the government to get their viewpoint on it with any statistics that we could tap into. We don’t keep any statistics on veterans, only on the serving side. Once you leave the military, so many people will testify, you lose your identity somewhat. So many people have slipped through the net.

Kev has also acted in some major films, including Kingsman, Stratton and Criminal with Ryan Reynolds, Gary Oldman and Kevin Costner.

Transcript from ‘Royal Marines King’s Badge To Kingsman’ podcast

Kev – We got in these grots and you know there’s loads of stories that were spooky and all that. I opened up the locker and it’s like a cash bag you know, those canvas cash bags? I think they just got back from Belize so I stuff that in my car. You’re young and when you say stuff like that nowadays, it sounds horrific. I chucked it in my car and took it home. We had a few goes with this sawn-off shotgun and eventually someone says, Kev you’ll get seven years if you get caught with that! I’m only shooting bits and bobs so I ditched that. 40 commando was not for me and I didn’t have a good time. I had so much going on at that point in my life and with the injury I just hadn’t got a stress management technique.

Thatcher’s Falklands Deception? | Paul Cardin Royal Navy

Paul Cardin is a veteran of the Royal Navy and served as a Leading Radio Operator, during the Falklands War. He was stationed on HMS Yarmouth, an anti-submarine frigate, situated in what was known as, ‘Bomb-Alley’. His highly rated book lifts the lid on many events during that conflict and gives thought for some uncomfortable questions.

Transcript from ‘Thatcher’s Falklands Deception?’ podcast

Paul – In 1981 there were riots and there were three million unemployed. There were top economists saying whatever you do, don’t put up taxes and then she did put up taxes. She made everything even worse. So industry and manufacturing was decimated, not decimated straight away but the mines and steel plants closed. There’s all these big major industrial sites closing down and unemployment shooting up. By the end of 81, Mrs Thatcher had a 23 approval rating and that is a record. It’s still the lowest approval rating for any prime minister, even Cameron and May never they went that low.

Jock Hutchison is president and co-founder of Horseback UK. He was a commissioned officer in the Royal Marines and saw service all over the world. Jock was selected to be a helicopter pilot and served across all branches of the British Armed Forces. Horseback UK was set up to help veterans with life-changing injuries, although that demographic has changed to include civilians.
Kat Henderson worked as a nurse in Australia, before joining the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary. After being an outdoors adventurer, she had a life changing moment from a biking accident in France, which saw her paralysed from the waist down. She is now on the team with Horseback UK.

Transcript from ‘Royal Marines Commando Recruit Troop Boss And Kat!’ podcast

Jock – We help people from the military community and others and our job is to help people that have really hit rock bottom, to reconnect to their former self and re-establish themselves in the world. I’ll talk about that as we go on but that’s our mission.

Chris – Is that how you met Kat and do you want to explain how that came about?

Jock – Yes I’ll introduce Kat. You know I was a member of our team, the Royal Marines which encouraged values that have never left me. Speaking to Chris, it’s great to hear that you know whatever happens in life, I don’t think that kind of experience ever leaves you. We needed to put a team together to help the work that we do and at the heart of that idea is the idea of empowering people from within the community.
