Anna Brees is a journalist, allegedly. She was on with me a year or so ago to promote her business, which was training citizen journalists. I never gave her another thought. Last night she Tweeted two minutes of a chat she had recorded with Dr. Mohammad Iqbal Adil, the oncologist who has been suspended for asking uncomfortable questions about Covid, on his YouTube channel. Incredibly, the two minutes she released, consisted of Brees telling the doctor that she couldn't publish him as she might lose her YouTube channel. Hardly heroic right? Certainly not journalism.
Understandably this didn't go down well with her followers. She was trolled unmercifully, something I personally don't condone. I tweeted my own incredulity as did several other independent journalists. But I also smelled a rat. The two minute audio snip didn't sit well with me. I contacted Dr. Adil and asked him if a) Brees had asked his permission to record b) told him she intended to use it in a broadcast or c) asked his permission to put a soundbite from their chat on Twitter. He said no. I tweeted Brees again, expressing my disdain for her unethical approach.
Brees began to bombard with with messages, demanding I call her and demanding an appearance on the radio show. No problem I said, but you'll change your mind tomorrow. She did. She continued sending me messages overnight, some bizarre, some threatening. She also tweeted that I was mentally unstable and was drinking. I am not/wasn't. By this time, she had deleted the original Tweet, where again, let's not forget, she had recorded herself telling a whistle-blower that she wouldn't publish him lest she lose her YouTube channel.
Today she ranted on, sending me messages proclaiming to have so large a following, that she would destroy my reputation. I had enough and telephoned Dr. Mohammad Iqbal Adil. He gave me permission to publish as you'll hear.
Note: Until last night, I'd forgotten all about Anna Brees. There's no vendetta here. I'd have left it go today, but she didn't. She placed my reputation and that of the doctor in question. I can't have that. So here we are. The matter is now closed. I will not be speaking of it again.

The show features up to the minute news analysis by researchers, journalists and academics who are ignored by the corporate controlled media, as well as featuring activists from all around the world who are making a difference in their communities every day. People are tired of hearing about the problems, they want to hear of positive solutions.
That is why the show, while challenging the mainstream medias version of events, focuses heavily on the men and women who are trying to cause a seismic shift in the current paradigm. The skype line to the show will be open for listeners to call in and have their say. There will be no censorship.
