You will not believe what the UK has now announced.
I knew this was coming for Germany, but I just didn't expect it yet for the UK.
So what am I talking about? Well, Keir Starmer has now gone on the war path,
and I mean quite literally. He thinks that because Germany went to a military industrial
economy, that now that's the right path for the UK as well.
But what's even more baffling to me about this is that it's clear for anybody.
You don't need an economics decree to see this. It's clear to anybody that what's happened in Germany
was a failed experiment, which we knew years ago when they first started would happen.
But yeah, they can't see that by going to net zero, destroying all the energy, closing all the
nuclear, closing all the gas and oil and everything else that they had, that this created the mess they're
in in the first place. So what is Starmer announced? We'll get to a lot of this later in the video here.
We've got a lot to go through. But one of those policies is that he now wants to align with
the EU's net zero policy and aggressively cut even more energy from the UK. I mean,
this is simple supply and demand. It's simple economics.
The more energy that you begin to cut, the more expensive the energy is going to become.
Electricity is already the highest in the world for any, well, I don't even think any
developed nation. It's pretty much any nation now. But again, just doubling down on this.
So let's get into some of the stories today then about this new military industrial economy,
which is crazy, absolutely crazy. So the first story here then is UK government considering
increase in defence spending. Kier Starmer sees this 3% of GDP going towards military spending
by 2029. So in the next three years here is what he wants to achieve. And he says that
everyone is going to be difficult decisions for all of us. In other words, more taxes for this.
And it's funny how they always say for the everyday citizen. Yeah, because non-citizens,
if you know who I'm talking about, will not be paying this. It's just even more taxes on
the average person, which causes more people to leave the country. This is just common sense.
But what annoyed me about this was how they are manipulating the British public.
And I quote here, let me tell you what this says. It says this stems from a 28 billion
pound shortfall in the Ministry of Defence over the next four years. This is forcing tough decisions
for all of us. Well, it's funny how they always use the word all of us, because the politicians,
it doesn't affect them. It affects all of the citizens. And when they say that there's this
shortfall, the reason they're being manipulative here is because there isn't a
shortfall per se. When you increase anything, so you say, well, we need to increase the
military budget by x, well, it's going to be 28 billion pounds more. That's not a shortfall.
You've just increased the budget, therefore creating the shortfall. So it's artificial in nature,
but people don't know this and they don't even think of this. So when they hear there's this
massive shortfall in the budget by 28 billion, they say, oh, well, I guess that justifies the
tax rises then, because we've got to defend against the Russian invasion of Europe, which now
you're seeing what, 10, 15 times a day, or you're seeing these keywords. And we'll see them in these
articles that we'll talk about. But these keywords start coming up all the time now. And it's something
like a full scale Russian invasion. And they're, of course, referring to Europe is what they are
all saying, which as I said a couple of weeks ago, I don't believe for a minute that Russia
intends to do a full scale invasion of the whole of Europe, because it wants to take over all of
Europe. If you do, it's probably not the right channel for you. If you believe that is what Russia
is planning. But I thought it was interesting what Stammer said at the Munich Security Conference.
And I'm going to quote here. He said we're in an era where hard power defines security
and the UK needs to invest more and faster in order to shift from US dependence
to stronger alliances with Europe. He then went on to say that the consequences of delay mean
weaker deterrence against Russian aggression. The direction here is towards deeper European
cooperation, including a historic 5% security spending pact, which we must honour. Well, again,
it's interesting when they use the words like honour, we have to honour this. Well,
who signed up to this? Did the British people vote on that? Did they say that they were going to,
they were willing to increase all of their taxes to pay for this 5% percent? I don't remember
that. I don't remember anyone voting for it. But if you did, let me know. But he's also said
a load of nonsense, which is what all the European leaders are doing. And again, we talked
about this before. When they have made these big mistakes, they will always find a full guy
or there's always going to be a scapegoat. So if it's not the last government, it's Putin or
someone else, they're saying the reason the economy is suffering is because of Russia's full-scale
invasion of Ukraine. This is what they've got here. They don't say how that has caused the
UK economy and the European economy to suffer so much. But again, they don't need to. They
just need to say it and people believe that. He said that moving forward with this plan
will increase job growth in defence industries and it will bolster national resilience.
Same playbook as Germany, increased military spending and ramp all of that up ready for a
war that's somewhat fictitious in nature. People get behind it. They pay more taxes
and then it creates more jobs. But these are the wrong kind of jobs. This is the problem.
You don't want these sort of jobs that's based on a fictitious war that will probably
only happen as a result of some of the crazy policies that we're now seeing.
Now, yes, I think it's important to always be prepared for any military
conflict that might come up. I think any country would be foolish not to.
But I think it's even more foolish to try and create a large-scale war that wouldn't
have happened if you didn't do certain actions. Now, if you're fed up of all of this
mainstream media and all the lies, I mean that you look at the polling now.
It's the lowest trust in the media, I think on record that I've certainly ever seen.

Here's the next headline. Defense spending rise to bring 50,000 jobs to the UK.
They say that the sector, i.e. defense spending already creates, here it is,
£15 billion into the economy every year but with it set to hit 5% of GDP by 2035,
which is a pledge. Again, who pledged that? I'm not exactly sure.
They said this is going to create a revival in the United Kingdom.
They're talking about this new golden era of revival.
Ladies and gents, it's not how economics works.
You don't create a massive revival in your economy by creating all of this defense capability.
Unless you're going to start invading other countries and looting and taking their resources
and things like that, how exactly creating weapons and therefore jobs that you're going to use
and then it just doesn't really make any sense.
I also thought it was quite interesting how they were talking about Rolls-Royce
in some of these articles and how they're going to be ramping up all of their defense capabilities
in the UK and how you should be investing and all this other stuff and it's like,
hold on, Rolls-Royce have just announced, let me get you the exact figures here,
a $75 million investment in South Carolina in the USA. This is to support US defense and
power systems. So again, the things they say, Rolls-Royce is really committed with these
all these new big investments and everything. Yeah, not necessarily in the UK, in the USA,
yes, I mean, we know that for sure because they've announced it, but I haven't seen
all of these massive announcements for these billions of investment
into the UK defense capabilities. It's just crazy. But here's where it got really
concerning, I think is the best word here. And that's where they started talking about
how that they want to make this an equitable and socially beneficial system with all of the
war fighting and the weapons. I want to tell you the exact thing they said here.
They said that this time around, the contracts aren't going to be going to the big players,
right? It said around 12,000 SMEs are going to be in the defense supply chain and the
MOD ministry of defense targets aimed to direct 7.5 billion their way by 2028. This is to create
broader involvement and a more equitable and fair future for all. Whenever I hear that word,
it always sort of raises alarm bells for me that they want to make everything more equitable
and socially fair socialism across the board. Well, I tell you when it comes to defense,
right? I just, I don't know. I think I'd rather have one of the big players who's been doing this
forever, who's got tons of experience creating some of the defense than giving it to how many was
it 12,000 small to medium size enterprises instead. And I know who I would prefer to give
these big contracts of the country's defense to the government's also announced quite sort
of bizarrely that Lloyd's bank have been given the contract and they said this is a 35 billion pound
contract for financing, including 9.5 billion for the SMEs, the small to medium size
enterprises. And this is key to unlocking this defense dividend, they say. Okay. Well,
I'll tell you something else that's really interesting, really, really interesting indeed
is that while we're talking about all of this and how it's going to create all of these new
jobs and everything else, what we've had announcement today is that here it is, the
unemployment rate for the UK has hit the highest rate in nearly five years. It's now up to 5.2%.
This is the highest level. Oh, look at this, this fella here. Let's keep an eye on him.
I don't know. I don't know him nipping at my ankles. Okay. So this is the highest level
since the lockdowns. So 2021, this is the highest level since 2021. But they're not
actually reporting on this accurately because this is the sort of general, you know, manipulated
number within the 18 to 24 year old bracket. This number is absolutely skyrocketing. I'll
need to get the exact figure, but it's something like 15% unemployment and now even graduates,
it's a suffering. Graduates can't find jobs. They're applying for 50 to 60 jobs and getting
one interview and sometimes not even getting the job. It is crazy what's going on out there
in the workplace. However, let me read this out to you. Again, this is from the government,
but on the flip side, here's the good news. Okay, you ready for the good news?
Public sector pay rose 7.2% last year, outpacing the private sector 3.4%
due to more equitable and fair policies. Sorry, what? So government, they're saying the
government pay rose 7.2%. Double, actually more than double what the private sector did.
That tells you, ladies and gentlemen, that they are manipulating the market. How can the public
sector increase by that much? It can't. They are deliberately giving themselves massive pay rises
while the average person is really, really suffering and talking of jobs and hiring and all the
other things here. I know we've spoken about this, you know, in the last few weeks here,
but I really urge you to look at your income, because I am amazed at how fast this is accelerating
now with the economy. You've basically got two massive problems hitting at the exact same time.
You've got the economy weakening. It's not just the UK, some European countries as well.
So you've got the economy weakening and you've got AI advancing, but there's going to be a
point where they're not quite going to have all the power needs they have. I just wrote
a really long detailed post on copper in the Patreon, so you can read that over on Patreon
if you want to read it, because I do think it's going to be a good investment coming up.
Not financial advice, of course. But no, it's really not looking good for the job market.
It really isn't. So that's why I always recommend having more than one stream of income.
Don't just rely on one stream of income or you're going to be in trouble,
because AI really is going to start taking more and more jobs as time goes by. So really
start thinking about yours, just seeing if it's safe from AI. And check the description below.
You'll see that I've got various different programs and courses, because I knew a lot
of this was coming a long time ago. I've prepared a lot of stuff for you. There's
free reports. There's free trainings. There's also paid courses. There's a very, very good
paid course. It's actually a program. It's three courses for the price of one.
I'll put that in the description below and I'll give you a discount on that as well.
It'll really just set you up for what I think's coming, allow you to create your own income streams
that is sort of not at risk of what's coming with AI. And I can't really get into all that now,
because there's five or six variables to it. But as long as you follow those five points,
you will do very, very well for the next five to 10, 15 years. Now, back to the military
stuff then. And there is a lot going on. There's a huge amount going on at the moment.
I don't know if you're seeing a lot of it in the news, but I certainly am. Here was another one.
It's like laser quest. So they're turning this into a game now. British soldiers are NATO maneuvers.
And even the soldiers that they interviewed said it's just like playing a computer game.
It's like laser quest and all this other stuff. So they're sending all the soldiers now
and they're defending, right, listen to this, defending a simulated village against Russian
attacks. This high readiness unit is prime for Eastern flank deployment, focusing on delaying
Russia. And it goes on, it talks about the war room and how it's all digital now and they're
digitalizing everything and they're going to have drones and all this other stuff.
It's just crazy because I remember we talked about this on a walk and talk
four years ago, when was it? 2021, 2022? Yes, four years, four to five years ago now,
where I thought we'd start to see all of this. And by 2030, I thought we'd start to see sort of
drones and humanoid kind of robots on the battlefield. It's not far off now. We're
really getting there. We've got the drones already. That came quicker than I thought.
I think kind of the Russian-Ukraine conflict really accelerated that quicker than it would
have happened otherwise, especially with Zelensky opening up Ukraine for foreign weapons
companies to test out their weapons on the Russian troops. I mean, that was insane if you
remember that video when we did that. That was just insane. But yeah, this is all we're seeing
now in the media. I saw another one today. Here it is. Western countries see World War Three
coming. So they did this big survey across the UK, Canada, France, Germany and the USA.
And they said that in the UK 43% expect World War Three by 2031, in the US 46%.
Russia tops the threats in Europe, but the US under Trump's leadership ranks high too.
That is bizarre. So they actually think that the US could be a military threat to Europe by
2031. I think that's kind of bizarre. It also said that one in three people across these
countries expect nuclear warfare in the next few years, by 2031. And France said it's braced for
direct involvement. I mean, this stuff is mad. Another headline I thought was quite interesting
today was how the, well, Starmer has said no to Trump. Trump apparently made a phone call
and Starmer said, no, we're not going to let you, the US, use any military bases for striking
Iran because it would be in breach of international law. I thought that was a very
interesting stance from previous UK prime ministers. And I'd love to know your thoughts on that because
Starmer obviously thinks that he's being a strong man by standing up to Trump, as it's saying,
that he's standing up to Trump and all this other stuff. But I'd like to know your thoughts
on that one. Drop a comment below. And talking of being a strong man, Starmer has just
surrendered. No, not to Russia or the US. No, he surrendered to the woke EU net zero policies.
Yes, this is an interesting one. So let me read this out to you. Starmer is driving dynamic
alignment with EU renewable energy regulations, integrating the UK system into the electricity
market for borderless power with Europe and Norway. This will be a legal obligation
and a long term contract. Well, hold on. Why is this man who no one wants in power? He's got a
20% or less approval rating, 50% in his own party. Why is he making long term legal agreements
knowing that he should have resigned a long time ago that the UK won't be able to get out of?
They're going to be legally binding with massive penalties. He shouldn't be doing any of these
things. But yeah, he is. Let me tell you a few other things he said in his statement.
He said, what's happening right now demands rapid decarbonisation right across electricity,
heating and transport. You know, this guy is an absolute lunatic. We've already had rapid
decarbonisation and look what it's done. It's ruining the economy. And you look at the countries
who aren't doing that and they're booming. But for some reason he just can't see it.
A few other things that were kind of disturbing in this. It said, the deal includes complying
with EU rules and restricts nuclear fast tracking. So basically they don't want any nuclear because
they say it's carbon intensive. This is again a massive lie that every time I speak to people,
they don't know it's a lie. They honestly believe that nuclear power plants are carbon intensive
in terms of emissions. So they're carbon intensive in terms of building them. Yes,
I'm not going to say they're not. There's also, there's not as much risk as there used to be.
They're a lot safer now, especially the South Korean companies and some of the others building
these things are a lot safer. But the point around them saying that these create too many
emissions is a lie. They're super, super low carbon emissions. And it's obvious why the EU
is doing this. They are doing it because they can't make a ton of money from the nuclear,
but they can from some of the other scams that they are running. So that's obviously why they're
doing it. There's no big mystery here. That is what is occurring. But really all they need to do,
I mean, this is very simple, common sense stuff. If I were the Chancellor or the Prime Minister
or whatever tomorrow, I know what I would do straight away. I'd cut regulations, cut the
red tape. I'd allow more companies to invest. I'd stop all of these crazy policies going
on. I'd let more companies come into the country. I mean, it's obvious what the solution is this
problem. Obvious. You don't kick out all of the energy companies and then import all of your
energy from other countries. You're not really achieving anything. You let companies come in,
create energy, more energy becomes cheaper for the people. That means businesses come in,
you get more industry, you get much better companies across the board. You cut all the
red tape. So you just do these simple, common sense, basic stuff, right? You go hard on crime.
You stop all the gangs. You stop all the illegal activities and the flows to the country and all
the crazy welfare payments that are then going out of the country to their home. It's crazy
what is happening. And then you stop overtaxing British citizens. You incentivize them to come
back to the UK. These policies should be obvious to anyone, but they're not. So the country's getting
poorer and poorer and poorer because of these bad policies when really you just need to reverse them.
So with that said, thanks for watching today. Check out the course links and the other free
links in the description below. Apart from that, take care. God bless. I'll see you on the next one.
