So what themes, or patterns, do we have on Backbeat this week? They're not planned, they just emerge; like Saints and Sinners, people who switched from gospel to pop like Ann Cole, The Four Knights or even Carl Storey (seen here with his band in their never-ending quest for great stage attire). Then there's performers who had more famous family members such as Johnny Lee Wills, Jack Guthrie and Josephine James. Or why not just say we've got another great mixture of vintage music in every genre that simply sounds good.

For three years it was my good fortune, as a member of the Joint Panning Staff of the War Cabinet and therefore one of Churchill's staff officers, to work in the fortress basement under Whitehall, from which the war was directed. I state this as evidence to my reader that I am no woolly-minded mystic, but have my feet very firmly planted on the ground. Unlike the majority of other planners, doubtless owing to the fact that I was already a well-known author, I was privileged to count among my friends General Lord Ismay, Major Desmond Morton and Commander 'Tommy' Thompson, R.N., who were resectively the Prime Minister's Chief Staff Officer, his Personal Assistant, and his personal Aide-de-Camp, so were all constantly with him. All three lunched and dined with me, and I with them, on many occasions. I cannot believe that I would not have picked up at least a rumour of it from one of them, had our great war leader owed anyting to the Power of Darkness. Hitler once confided to Hermann Rauschning that he was founding a secret order, at the second stage of which a man-god would be worshipped throughout the world - and presumably Hitler intended to be that man. The Devil and All His Works Dennis Wheatley (Hutchinson 1971) Of Witches and Warlocks Magic and the Fate of Nations Page 282 https://politicsthisweek.gn.apc.org/2025/08/not-the-bcfm-politics-show-presented-by-tony-gosling-251/ Chillingly accurate 200-year-old letter predicts WW3 and final battle against Islam A LETTER written more than 200 years ago by a top military chief chillingly predicted the two world wars - before warning of a final "bloody" battle with Islam. Albert Pike, who was a captain for the US army during the American Civil War, is said to have written a doctrine to an Italian politician outlining plans for the trio global conflicts. The letter plots how and why the first and second world wars broke out in the 1900s and provides an even more chilling prophecy over a third and final battle. The document allegedly suggested World War One was planned to overthrow the Tsars in Russia and make the country a communist stronghold. The Second World War was sparked as a catalyst to destroy Nazism, according to the letter, so communism could take over wearier governments and for a sovereign state of Israel to be set up in Palestine. Mr Pike is said to have written, according to Mr Carr's book: "The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Tsars in Russia and of making that country a fortress of atheistic Communism." It was reportedly sent by Pike, a freemason, to Italian politician Giuseppe Mazzini and was dated August 15, 1871. The letter allegedly said: "The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the 'agentur' of the 'Illuminati' between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. "The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. "Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/650822/Letter-WW3-200-year-old-islam-final-battle Adolf Hitler told Rauschning: "Have I not emphasized time and time again that only the inviolable unity of our will can lead our venture to success? Anyone who gets out of step will be shot. Have I not implored these people ten, a hundred, times to follow me? At a moment when everything depends on the party's being a single, close entity, I must listen to the reactionaries taunting me with the inability to keep order and discipline in my own house! I must accept the accusation that the party is a hotbed of insubordination, worse than the Communists... The insubordination of my S.A, has deprived me of a great many trump cards... If I call on the people today, they will follow me. If I appeal to the party, it will respond, more closely knit than ever. They will not succeed in splitting my party. I have destroyed the ringleaders, as well as the potential ringleaders that have been lying in ambush. They have tried to estrange me from the party in order to make me a weak-willed willed tool in their hands. But I stand here stronger than ever before.... The S.A. must prepare for a period of purgatory. But the time is coming when I shall fully recompense it and restore it to the highest honours. Because they too, they too have died for the greatness of our movement. They wanted everything for the best, but in their own stubborn way. Therefore they were doomed to err, and succumbed to the verdict under which all those must fall who do not learn to obey." https://spartacus-educational.com/Herman_Rauschning.htm

So, Netanyahu just announced plans to occupy Gaza. After months of siege, starvation, and relentless bombardment, Israel’s Prime Minister has made it official: Gaza is to be taken over—militarily, politically, and permanently. This is not a security plan. This is a blueprint for colonization. For decades, Gaza has been treated as an open-air prison. Two million Palestinians have lived under blockade, denied freedom of movement, access to clean water, electricity, and medical care. Now, after displacing over 80% of the population and destroying entire neighborhoods, Israel wants to install a regime of its choosing—while maintaining full control over Gaza’s borders, airspace, and future. Netanyahu’s five-point plan includes: • The defeat and disarmament of Hamas • The return of Israeli hostages • The demilitarization of Gaza • Full Israeli security control • A new governing authority—neither Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority Translation: Palestinians will have no say in their own future. This is not about peace. It’s about power. It’s about erasing Palestinian sovereignty and silencing resistance. And the world is responding. Germany has suspended arms exports to Israel. Britain, Belgium, Turkey, and the UN Human Rights Chief have condemned the plan. Even Israeli families of hostages are protesting, calling it a death sentence. We say: Gaza is not yours to occupy. Palestinians have the right to live, to resist, to return. We reject colonial rule in all its forms—military, economic, and political. We demand: • An immediate end to the siege and occupation • Accountability for war crimes and displacement • Palestinian self-determination, led by Palestinians • Global solidarity through boycott, divestment, and direct action This is not the time for silence. This is the time to organize, amplify, and resist. Gaza will not be colonized. Palestine will be free.

Scams in crypto aren’t always what they seem. In this episode, Kyle sits down with Aleks Ring of Operation Shamrock to talk about the darker side of fraud in the cryptocurrency space — and the disturbing reality that many of these scams are being run by people who’ve been trafficked and forced into digital crime. From fake profiles and romance scams to AI-generated scripts and burner wallets, Aleks breaks down how these operations work, what warning signs to watch for, and how we can protect ourselves and our communities through better awareness and smarter tech.

This week on the show, Britain’s direct involvement in genocide by supplying Israel with realtime military intelligence hits the mainstream media. Investigative journalist Matt Kennard joins hosts Nora Barrows-Friedman and Asa Winstanley to explain how a pilot’s transponder that was accidentally left on fed his expose of British spy planes over Gaza. On the Resistance Report, the Electronic Intifada’s contributing editor, Jon Elmer tells us about Israeli tanks caught in a minefield and other coordinated Palestinian resistance operations across Gaza as Israel’s Gideon’s Chariots operation ends in failure. On the newscast, Nora Barrows-Friedman covers Israeli air strikes against the Palestinian Red Crescent Headquarters and a health clinic sheltering displaced Palestinians. And amidst Israel’s systematic policy of forced starvation, air dropped parcels of aid kill starving people in Gaza while the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation abducts civilians seeking food.

This program is about Matilda Joslyn Gage, who lived from 1826 to 1892 and was a vibrant and leading figure in the suffragist movement of that century. Matilda Joslyn Gage, an outspoken leader for women’s rights, and an advocate to abolish slavery and religious bigotry, became historically invisible in pursuit of her liberty to think and speak as she thought proper. She was threatened with jail for voting in New York in 1871, and later was inducted into the Iroquois nation after publicly declaring Christian theology to be a primary source of the oppression of women. Historian and Chautauqua scholar Sally Roesch Wagner, who portrays Matilda Joslyn Gage, brought Gage into the limelight by creating the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation, based in Fayetteville, New York. The Gage Foundation is dedicated to educating current and future generations about Gage’s work and the power of her work to drive contemporary social change. Radio Curious spoke with Sally Roesch Wagner in December 1996. Our conversation began when I welcomed Matilda Joslyn Gage. The book Matilda Joslyn Gage recommends is “The Secret Doctrine: The Synthesis of Science, Religion and Philosophy,” by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky.

REPEAT BROADCAST This week, on the Global Research News Hour, concerns are starting to be raised about more and more journalists, activists and even scholars who are having their lives disrupted in the wake of detentions, arrests, and even outright suppression of rights as the cancer of anti-terrorism laws grows to the point of targeting almost anyone who voices concerns as we have on the show about the NATO instigated Ukraine War, opposition to the genocidal campaign waged by Israel and more. This show features an array of guests with dissenting views on foreign policy in Canada and abroad facing such measures and some analysis of what can be done to reverse this trend. Conversations with journalists Eva Bartlett and Vanessa Beeley, and with academics Tamara Lorincz, Radhika Desai and Kevin Mackay.

In the first half of today’s program, we discuss the overlooked merits of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and how they benefit a company’s bottom line. We also discuss the implications of a disenfranchised voter base and how these things can—and are shaping society.

We delve into the recent DEI rollbacks from Google and highlight some of the creators that are pushing back against the normalization of these divisive undertakings.
