Wi‑Fi 6/7 in Schools: What Parents Need to Know (with Andy from Wake TF Up)

Wi‑Fi 6/7 in Schools: What Parents Need to Know (with Andy from Wake TF Up)

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com [http://radiosoapbox.com] Tonight I opened episode 144 with a bit of housekeeping and humour, before welcoming Eric Von Essex and our guest Andy from Wake TF Up. We chatted about summer silliness, Scottish fans’ legendary thirst, and why our Thursday shows may now run two hours. Then we got serious: Andy laid out urgent concerns about Wi‑Fi 6/7 roll‑outs in UK schools, EMF exposure, and the increasing use of children’s biometrics. He explained his parent action pack of letters designed to force transparency and halt activations until proper safety evidence is produced. We also touched on censorship on X, the media’s selective hearing, and wider patterns of institutional capture affecting health, energy and education. In the second half, we compared lived experience with official narratives on public health, EMF, and energy policy, including the real‑world costs of wind power and the way insurance markets treat EMF risk. There was lively back‑and‑forth on personal mitigation (including nicotine anecdotes), the importance of lawful pushback, and why parents and grandparents must get proactive at school level. I closed with where to find Andy’s materials and an invitation to keep the conversation going in our community spaces. * 'World Health Organization (EMF Project)': https://www.who.int/health-topics/electromagnetic-fields [https://www.who.int/health-topics/electromagnetic-fields] * 'Lloyd’s of London': https://www.lloyds.com [https://www.lloyds.com] * 'UK Department for Education': https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-education [https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-education] * 'NHS (National Health Service)': https://www.nhs.uk [https://www.nhs.uk] * 'Wi‑Fi Alliance: Wi‑Fi 6 (802.11ax)': https://www.wi-fi.org/discover-wi-fi/wi-fi-6 [https://www.wi-fi.org/discover-wi-fi/wi-fi-6] * 'Wi‑Fi Alliance: Wi‑Fi 7 (802.11be)': https://www.wi-fi.org/discover-wi-fi/wi-fi-7 [https://www.wi-fi.org/discover-wi-fi/wi-fi-7] * 'YouTube': https://www.youtube.com [https://www.youtube.com] * 'Rumble': https://rumble.com [https://rumble.com] * 'X (formerly Twitter)': https://x.com [https://x.com]

PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #143 · Iain Clifford: How Money Is Really Made (and What We Can Do About It)

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com [http://radiosoapbox.com] A lively, occasionally bumpy (blame the gremlins) first hour with finance whistle‑blower Iain Clifford set the tone as we unpacked his four‑decade journey from wealth management and a joint venture with Bank of Scotland/HBOS to blowing the lid on how modern banking really works. We dug into credit creation “ex nihilo”, why regulators so often serve the banks rather than the public, and how House Joint Resolution 192 (June 5, 1933), the Bills of Exchange Act 1882 and today’s DTCC/Cede & Co. plumbing shape the world most people never see. Iain outlined his Republic of Old Souls/ROS Media work and teased his new weekly FFT Radio programme, promising plain‑English breakdowns of signatures, “persons”, nominees and practical routes to lawfully redirect tax flows. Hour two switched gears with Eric in the studio: weather moans gave way to food systems, Dutch agri‑tech, Clarkson’s Farm and Rotterdam’s Floating Farm; plus a spirited riff on everyday bureaucracy versus local ingenuity. We closed on first principles: rebuild community, support farmers, grow food, and keep conversations like this wide open—here every Thursday night, and with Iain back at midday Fridays on FFT Radio from next week. * 'Food For Thought Radio' (FFT Radio): https://fftradio.com/ [https://fftradio.com/] * 'Paul English Live' (show hub): https://paulenglishlive.com/ [https://paulenglishlive.com/] * Iain Clifford – official site: https://iainclifford.com/ [https://iainclifford.com/] * ROS Media Platform (Republic of Old Souls): https://rosmediaplatform.com/ [https://rosmediaplatform.com/] * Unity News Network (UNN): https://unitynewsnetwork.co.uk/ [https://unitynewsnetwork.co.uk/] * Bank of England – Money creation in the modern economy (2014, Quarterly Bulletin): https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/-/media/boe/files/quarterly-bulletin/2014/money-creation-in-the-modern-economy.pdf [https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/-/media/boe/files/quarterly-bulletin/2014/money-creation-in-the-modern-economy.pdf] * Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago – Modern Money Mechanics (booklet): https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Modern_Money_Mechanics.pdf [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Modern_Money_Mechanics.pdf] * House Joint Resolution 192 (Gold Clause Resolution), June 5, 1933 – Statutes at Large: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-48/pdf/STATUTE-48-Pg113.pdf [https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/STATUTE-48/pdf/STATUTE-48-Pg113.pdf] * Bills of Exchange Act 1882 (UK) – original text: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Vict/45-46/61/enacted [https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Vict/45-46/61/enacted] * Professor Richard Werner – official site and publications on bank credit creation: https://professorwerner.org/ [https://professorwerner.org/] * Werner (2014) – Can banks individually create money out of nothing?

PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #142 · Eric, Kizzi and Roger

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com [http://radiosoapbox.com] I level with you right up front: the first two hours are fine, but the final hour suffers from gremlins. We wrestle with a brand‑new studio setup, triage a mess of routing issues, and keep the show rolling regardless. Once we’re stable, Eric Von Essex drops in for our usual ramble: the week’s wobbly English weather, battle‑scarred classic cars, and why small technical wins feel huge. Hour two welcomes Kizzy (Karen Dodd), who charts her journey founding The Freedom Network in 2020, the ups and painful downs of local organising, and why she’s focusing her energy on community, intuition and practical uplift. We talk parallel media, music from independent creators, and her Shine & Rise mini‑gathering centred on frequency, intention and doing the work within—plus why laughing at the powers that be is sometimes the sanest response. We also range across policing, community self‑help, and who trains the trainers; the growth of local patrol models; and the importance of asking sharper questions without getting baited into stupidity. Along the way we compare notes on tools (Restream, StreamYard), platforms (Rumble/YouTube via Radio Soapbox), and projects like Food Finders Hub and FFT Radio’s expanding schedule. Hour three connects to Roger Sales in Ecuador—beautiful place, brutal latency—so we’ll bring him back soon for a proper, clean run. Thanks for bearing with the hiccups; once the lines stop crackling, it’s a lively night out at the virtual pub. * 'Paul English Live' (show hub): https://paulenglishlive.com [https://paulenglishlive.com] * 'Food For Thought Radio' (station site): https://fftradio.com [https://fftradio.com] * 'Radio Soapbox' (live links hub): https://radiosoapbox.com [https://radiosoapbox.com] * 'Food Finders Hub' (local food directory): https://foodfindershub.com [https://foodfindershub.com] * 'Restream' (multistreaming tool): https://restream.io [https://restream.io] * 'StreamYard' (browser studio): https://streamyard.com [https://streamyard.com] * 'A Stand in the Park' (about page): https://www.astandinthepark.org/about/ [https://www.astandinthepark.org/about/] * 'Shomrim London' (community safety patrol): https://www.shomrimlondon.org/ [https://www.shomrimlondon.org/] * 'Patriotic Alternative' (official site): https://www.patrioticalternative.org.uk/ [https://www.patrioticalternative.org.uk/] * 'Chatham House' (Royal Institute of International Affairs): https://www.chathamhouse.org/ [https://www.chathamhouse.org/] * 'Bank of England' (official site): https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/ [https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/] * 'The Light Paper' (official site): https://thelightpaper.co.uk [https://thelightpaper.co.uk] * 'My Dinner with André' (film page): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082783/ [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082783/]

PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #141 · With Eric Von Essex, Robin Hood and Monika Schaefer

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com [http://radiosoapbox.com] A lively, good-humoured night in the shed turned into one of our most thought‑provoking shows yet. We kicked off with heatwaves, wigs, doors hanging on a single hinge and a barrage of dad jokes, before diving into the fast-moving world of AI: how to ask better questions, “steelmanning” opposing views, on‑device models, image understanding for medical second opinions, and why prompts are quickly becoming the ultimate skill. In hour two, Robin Hood joined us to outline his case that most modern courts act as tribunals trading on presumption, and to explain why jurisdiction, proper warrants and signed orders matter if you ever find yourself facing bailiffs or police powers. We then welcomed back Monica Schaefer, fresh from a spell of fiddle-playing and community dancing, for a serious segment on Canada’s MAID policy and a personal account of legacy‑media attacks on her late father’s medical work in the North. We examined how atrocity narratives gain traction, why verification matters (from Kamloops to hospital myths), and why reclaiming culture, community and clear thinking is every bit as important as critiquing the system. * 'Food For Thought Radio': https://fftradio.com [https://fftradio.com] * 'Paul English Live': https://paulenglishlive.com [https://paulenglishlive.com] * 'Rumble': https://rumble.com [https://rumble.com] * 'YouTube': https://www.youtube.com [https://www.youtube.com] * 'Mark Andreessen (a16z bio)': https://a16z.com/author/mark-andreessen/ [https://a16z.com/author/mark-andreessen/] * 'Netscape Navigator (overview)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape_Navigator [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape_Navigator] * 'The Joe Rogan Experience (Spotify)': https://open.spotify.com/show/4rOoJ6Egrf8K2IrywzwOMk [https://open.spotify.com/show/4rOoJ6Egrf8K2IrywzwOMk] * 'Steelmanning (concept)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steelmanning [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steelmanning] * 'Cognitive behavioural therapy (NHS)': https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/talking-therapies-medicine-treatments/talking-therapies-and-counselling/cognitive-behavioural-therapy-cbt/ [https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/talking-therapies-medicine-treatments/talking-therapies-and-counselling/cognitive-behavioural-therapy-cbt/] * 'Westworld (1973 film)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westworld_(1973_film) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westworld_(1973_film)] * 'Yul Brynner': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yul_Brynner [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yul_Brynner] * 'College of Policing (UK)': https://www.college.police.uk [https://www.college.police.uk] * 'Civil Procedure Rules (England & Wales)': https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil [https://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/procedure-rules/civil] * 'Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1980/43/contents [https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1980/43/contents] * 'Senior Courts Act 1981 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1981/54/contents [https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1981/54/contents] * 'Fraud Act 2006 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/35/contents [https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/35/contents] * 'Interpretation Act 1978 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1978/30/contents [https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1978/30/contents] * 'Bill of Rights 1689 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/aep/WillandMarSess2/1/2 [https://www.legislation.gov.uk/aep/WillandMarSess2/1/2] * 'Companies Act 2006 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/46/contents [https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/46/contents] * 'Digital Economy Act 2017 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2017/30/contents [https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2017/30/contents] * 'The Adventures of Robin Hood (1955 TV series)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Robin_Hood_(TV_series) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Robin_Hood_(TV_series)] * 'Medical Assistance in Dying (Canada)': https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/medical-assistance-dying.html [https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/medical-assistance-dying.html] * 'Kamloops Indian Residential School (background)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamloops_Indian_Residential_School [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamloops_Indian_Residential_School] * 'Free Speech Monica (Monica Schaefer)': https://freespeechmonica.com [https://freespeechmonica.com]

PAUL ENGLISH LIVE #140 · With Kali Spell, Helen and Blackbird9

Broadcasts live every Thursday at 8:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com [http://radiosoapbox.com] We went fully live on FFT Radio for Episode 140 after some stubborn relay gremlins scuppered the YouTube and Rumble feeds. Once we settled in, I welcomed Kali Spell (host of Kali’s Breakfast Spell on FFT) for a spirited first hour that ranged from midwifery history and “portals” to the nuts‑and‑bolts of law versus legislation, juries, and why plain‑spoken teaching matters if we want more people standing with us. Hour two took us to southern Brazil with Helen Basinger, “the emotional cleaning lady,” who unpacked her Emotional Alchemy method for clearing trauma, raising personal frequency, and manifesting from a clearer place—plus a slice of small‑farm life with bananas, coffee plants and chickens. In hour three, Frederick (Blackbird9) joined us from stormy North Carolina to chew over US primary politics, money in elections, plasma/ether ideas from Robert Temple’s A New Science of Heaven, and why recovering older knowledge isn’t antiquarian—it’s practical. Between the tech hiccups and music interludes (Bonzo Dog Doo‑Dah Band got an outing), the thread was constant: decentralise, learn, organise in small cells, and keep speaking freely. If you missed the live stream, the full podcast is here and the FFT chat is always open. * 'FFT Radio (Food For Thought Radio)': https://fftradio.com/ [https://fftradio.com/] * 'FFT Radio – Public Telegram Chat': https://t.me/fftradio [https://t.me/fftradio] * 'Paul English Live (show hub)': https://paulenglishlive.com/ [https://paulenglishlive.com/] * 'Kali’s Breakfast Spell (Callie Spell on FFT Radio)': https://fftradio.com/ [https://fftradio.com/] * 'Helen Basinger – Emotional Alchemy (official site)': https://helenbasinger.com/ [https://helenbasinger.com/] * 'Emotional Alchemy: The Architecture of Inner Transformation (book information)': https://books.google.com/books?id=M3ij0QEACAAJ [https://books.google.com/books?id=M3ij0QEACAAJ] * 'Blackbird9’s Trading Posts (podcast/site)': https://www.blackbird9tradingposts.org/ [https://www.blackbird9tradingposts.org/] * 'The Realm(e) of England (lawful/constitutional resources)': https://www.therealmeofengland.com/ [https://www.therealmeofengland.com/] * 'Cestui Que Vie Act 1666 (UK legislation)': https://www.legislation.gov.uk/aep/Cha2/18-19/11 [https://www.legislation.gov.uk/aep/Cha2/18-19/11] * 'Catherine Austin Fitts – The Solari Report (official site)': https://solari.com/ [https://solari.com/] * 'A New Science of Heaven – Robert Temple (publisher page)': https://www.hachette.co.uk/titles/robert-temple/a-new-science-of-heaven/9781473623750/ [https://www.hachette.co.uk/titles/robert-temple/a-new-science-of-heaven/9781473623750/] * 'Robert Temple – Official site (books and background)': https://robert-temple.com/books2.html [https://robert-temple.com/books2.html] * 'The Tolkien Estate (reference for The Lord of the Rings mentions)': https://www.tolkienestate.com/ [https://www.tolkienestate.com/] * 'Chatham House (Royal Institute of International Affairs)': https://www.chathamhouse.org/ [https://www.chathamhouse.org/] * 'Fabian Society (official site/info)': https://fabians.org.uk/ [https://fabians.org.uk/] * 'London School of Economics (LSE)': https://www.lse.ac.uk/ [https://www.lse.ac.uk/] * 'Bonzo Dog Doo‑Dah Band (reference)': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonzo_Dog_Doo-Dah_Band [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonzo_Dog_Doo-Dah_Band]
