    In this episode we talk about how antisemitism isn’t only found where many people assume it is — and why some areas of research have become professionally risky to pursue.

    Daniel explains what he’s found in survey data on antisemitic attitudes in the UK, why certain extremist threats receive far more attention (and funding) than others, and how academia and the NGO world can create strong incentives to avoid politically dangerous topics.

    We also discuss Islamist ideology, the historical links between Islamism and 20th century European fascism, the rise of anti-blasphemy activism in Britain, and how institutions can end up tiptoeing around threats of intimidation and violence.

    Finally, we talk about national identity, integration, and why “community leaders” and separatism can push Britain toward a kind of soft balkanisation — and why mainstream politics has struggled to deal with it.

    614. Qatari Sheikh: We Are Laughing At You

    29/01/2026 | 46 mins.
    Britain is being played — and according to a Qatari Sheikh and opposition figure, the people exploiting the system are laughing at us.

    In this episode, Sheikh Khalid explains why he believes the term “Islamophobia” has been turned into a political and financial tool, how it is used to shut down legitimate criticism, and why he says the strategy is working extremely well in the UK.

    Drawing on his experience from inside the Gulf region, Khalid describes what he calls an “Islamophobia industry”, how it operates across Western countries, and why questioning it often comes at a personal and professional cost. He also addresses the difference between Islam and Islamism, the role of activist organisations, and why Britain has become a particularly effective environment for this tactic.

    You don’t have to agree with his conclusions — but understanding how he says the system works is essential to understanding today’s political climate.

    613. I Helped Build the WEF Great Reset - Then They Turned on Me

    26/01/2026 | 1h 11 mins.
    What happens when you challenge the World Economic Forum from the inside?

    Desiree Fixler was a senior executive at Deutsche Bank’s $1 trillion asset manager. She believed in ESG, sustainability, and “profit with purpose” — until she saw how it actually worked behind closed doors.

    In this conversation, Desiree explains what the World Economic Forum is, how “stakeholder capitalism” replaced shareholder capitalism, why net zero, ESG, and DEI became mandatory, and what happened when she refused to sign off on what she says were false public disclosures.

    After raising concerns internally, Desiree says she was suddenly locked out of the system, publicly smeared, and forced out of Germany — triggering investigations by US and German authorities.

    This is not theory. This is a firsthand account.

    612. Ex-Scientologist on Tom Cruise: What They Don’t Want Out

    24/01/2026 | 1h 13 mins.
    Former Scientology enforcer Mike Rinder explains how you escape a cult that doesn’t let you leave.

    Before his death, Mike Rinder sat down with me to tell the full story of how he spent more than 30 years at the very top of Scientology — enforcing its rules, silencing critics, and stopping others from leaving — before secretly planning his own escape at the age of 52.

    In this conversation, Mike explains why Sea Org members must escape rather than resign, how “blow drills” are used to track and retrieve defectors, and what really happens to families left behind. He also reflects on the guilt he carries for the harm he caused, the price he paid with his own children, and the moment he finally stepped into freedom with nothing but the clothes he was wearing.

    We also discuss: 

    – Fair Game, smears, and harassment of ex-members. – Why Scientology fears psychiatry – The psychology of belief, thought-stopping, and cognitive dissonance – Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and celebrity Scientology – Why smart people stay — and how some finally leave.

    This episode is both a personal reckoning and a rare inside account of how a modern cult actually works.

    22/01/2026 | 57 mins.
    In this episode, veteran broadcaster Colin Brazier joins Andrew Gold to reveal what he saw after 25 years in TV news — from standing behind police tape at Islamist terror attacks across Europe to watching the culture of journalism change from reporting to reassurance.

    Outpost: https://www.outpoststudios.net/about

    Colin describes the moment he realised something had shifted: coverage of the 2015 migration crisis, the way stories were framed back in London, and how newsroom ideology can shape everything from guest selection to what counts as “truth.” He shares the behind-the-scenes pressure inside major broadcasters, why skepticism disappeared, and why he believes much of mainstream media now operates like activism.

    We also cover:

    - Colin’s time at Sky News, including reporting from terror scenes across Europe

    - Why he believes coverage of the migration crisis fed into the Brexit backlash

    - The “incremental” nature of media bias — running order, language, and who gets invited on air

    - The moment he refused an on-air demand to join public NHS clapping during COVID

    - Why he thinks British broadcasting trends leftwards — and how that shapes public trust

    - BBC “truth by consensus” vs adversarial truth-finding

    - How newsroom incentives and ideology collide with honest reporting

    If you’re tired of being told what to think — and you want a frank, insider account of how broadcast news really works — this conversation is for you.
