Dismantling the 'three camps of awareness' nonsense
A former guest on my podcast, David Hughes, wrote a bizarre article in which he questioned my independence—hinting that I might be controlled opposition. It's just that, well, he has no supporting evidence. Why is he trying to create unnecessary suspicion and enemies?
David Hughes has been on my podcast a few times and I've generally enjoyed his work. Back in mid-2025, for example, on my UK Column podcast, he chatted to me about psychological warfare and how to best understand it.
Then, out of nowhere, a few weeks ago, he wrote a bizarre article in which he 'outlined three camps of awareness' and questioned my independence—hinting that I might be controlled opposition.
I don't like public spats, and I don't consider this one to be such—since I'm critiquing his article only because he mentioned me, UK Column, and several excellent thinkers who, like David, have appeared on my podcast.
My confusion about his article—what it's trying to achieve or what his end goal might be—is what has motivated me to write this.
Additionally, I invited him back onto my podcast to discuss all of this, but he declined—and out of respect for his privacy, I won't divulge his reasons, whether valid or not, or what was said in our emails. Of course, the offer stands, should he change his mind.
We’re constantly bombarded with fake news, propaganda, agendas, and outright lies.
It’s an information war.
What is true?
I don’t know either—but I’m trying to find out.
Westerners assume something is wrong with China before anyone has said anything, so it arrives as a communist totalitarian hellhole; a product of decades of propaganda. This is from my conversation on Doc Malik's podcast.
Ray McGovern briefed seven US presidents and now argues that his government lies and fabricates, has terrible foreign policy, and was involved in JFK's assassination. He's been arrested multiple times
He lives nearby, so I invited him to my local coffee shop for a live stream. We chatted about South Africa, chemtrails, UFOs, China, Tucker Carlson, shampoo, and a little about 9/11. Oh, and we discussed whether or not smoking causes cancer.
