Ingrid Carlqvist – State of Sweden Documentary: The First European Sharia Nation?

Ingrid Carlqvist has become one of our regular guests because she is rare breed of journalist, one that is willing to speak the truth about uncontrolled immigration. She has highlighted the damage this is doing, not only to Swedish society but all across Europe. The latest project she has been involved in is the documentary series, ‘State of Sweden’ and it is the most in-depth analysis of the impact of immigration, specifically from Muslim countries, on Sweden and its stark message should be a warning to us all. It is dark viewing because it holds no punches with its full-on expose on how Islam completely changes a culture, and not for the better. Share this with others before it's too late.Watch on Rumble https://rumble.com/user/StateOfSweden Ingrid Carlqvist is a fearless Swedish journalist and author who opposes mass immigration and the Islamization of Sweden. This is part of the speech she made in The European Parliament a decade ago that is even more relevant today. "Ladies and gentlemen. My name is Ingrid Carlqvist and I was born in Sweden in 1960, when the Social Democrats were gonna rule forever and ever and our country was the nicest and safest and most progressed in the world. Now I live in Absurdistan – a country that has the highest figure of reported rapes in the world, hundreds of so called “exclusion areas” where people live outside the Swedish society and with newspapers that hide all these horrible facts to the people. I feel just like Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz – a tornado came and blew me miles and miles away from home and dumped me in a country I don’t know. Toto, I have a feeling we’re not in Sweden anymore.” Follow Ingrid on social media at: https://www.facebook.com/ingrid.carlqvist https://twitter.com/ingridcarlqvist https://www.youtube.com/c/Hoppf%C3%B6rSverige Ingrid's website with journalist partner Maria Celander https://www.ingridochmaria.se/ Maria Celander on Twitter https://twitter.com/mariasunflower Interview recorded 12.7.22 *Special thanks to Bosch Fawstin for recording our intro/outro on this podcast.Check out his art https://theboschfawstinstore.blogspot.com/ and follow him on GETTR https://gettr.com/user/BoschFawstinTo sign up for our weekly email, find our social media, podcasts, video, livestream platforms and more go to https://heartsofoak.org/find-us/ Please like, subscribe and share!

Paul Golding – Britain First: Bringing Populism and Conservative Policies to the British Ballot Box

Hearts of Oak have watched Paul Golding and Britain First from afar for years and after their result at the Wakefield by election I asked Paul to come and talk to us. I had no idea the lengths the state had gone to silence Paul and Britain First and in this interview, you will hear what has happened first hand. As a registered political party, Britain First should receive fair coverage during any election but yet their message, which rings true to any free minded conservative, is silenced by the establishment, the media and police. It's time for every member of the public to hear what Britain First are about so they can make up their own minds and decide without interference whether they deserve an X beside their name in any future election. Paul Golding was born in London in 1982. He first got involved in patriotic politics in 1999, served as Director of Publicity and Director of Communications for a former political party and was elected as a local councillor in 2009. Paul is a Christian and in 2011 founded the Britain First movement with a membership of only three individuals. Eight years later, under his leadership, the Britain First movement has millions of supporters globally, the movement he has built has been recognised from Washington to Moscow. Paul has stood in elections for parliament and for Mayor of London. He was sent to prison in 2016 for confronting a Muslim hate preacher who was secretly recorded saying it's okay for Muslims to keep sex slaves and has been served with official death threat 'Osman Warning' and jihadists have been imprisoned for planning to behead him. Paul was sent to prison again in March 2018 for 'harassing' a migrant paedophile rape gang in Ramsgate and has been arrested over fifteen times while constantly being harassed by 'S015 Counter Terrorism Command' for his political activities. Paul has spent time in HMP Pentonville, HMP Elmley and HMP Liverpool, all for political activities, while in HMP Elmley, Paul was attacked by a bearded Islamist prison gang and suffered injuries. Despite CCTV evidence, the police refused to prosecute the Islamist gang. The authorities have tried every trick in the book to try and silence him, such as High Court injunctions, probation orders, bail conditions and post-sentence supervision orders. Paul has risked his life many times confronting dangerous Islamic extremists and convicted terrorists and he led a street confrontation campaign against known Islamic extremists - such as notorious hate preacher Anjem Choudary - that resulted in them being driven off the streets. In April 2019, Paul launched his book 'The Battle for Britain', which detailed the horrific suffering, persecution and terror threats he has faced. Paul Golding is perhaps the most lied about and slandered politician in British history and has suffered numerous media hatchet jobs to try and destroy his reputation, his official Wikipedia page is riddled with lies. He is one of a tiny handful of people around the world who is permanently banned from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. Despite the constant setbacks, prison terms and social media censorship, Paul has rebuilt Britain First to be the most active and most energetic patriot movement in Britain.Follow and support Paul and Britain First WEB: https://www.britainfirst.org/ GAB: https://gab.com/BritainFirst Paul's autobiography ‘The Battle for Britain’ can be found on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/164945838X Interview recorded 28.6.22 *Special thanks to Bosch Fawstin for recording our intro/outro on this podcast.Check out his art https://theboschfawstinstore.blogspot.com/ and follow him on GETTR https://gettr.com/user/BoschFawstinTo sign up for our weekly email, find our social media, podcasts, video, livestream platforms and more go to https://heartsofoak.org/find-us/ Please like, subscribe and share!

Dr Ben Carson – Created Equal: The Hopeful Future of Race Cohesion in America

Hearts of Oak are honored to have Dr Ben Carson join us to discuss race in America, which is the focus of his new book ‘Created Equal’. Dr Carson's background as a pioneering world class neurosurgeon and having served in the Trump administration, gives him great insights into how people think and how they act. Race has been an issue that has divided society and is now being used by the left to cause divisions and tensions once again. In ‘Created Equal’, Dr Carson shares his experiences growing up in a predominantly black Detroit and an overwhelmingly white Boston, he explains how damaging Critical Race Theory teaching is to cohesion in America. Dr Carson's message on race is a message of hope that can bring together any community and re-educate those who view our society through the prism of colour. Dr Carson's faith also shines through and the biblical idea that we are all made equal in the image of God is a powerful antidote to division and mistrust. This book could be one of the most important of our time if we are to heal division and bring unity which will lead to a bright future. For a time, the likelihood of Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D. fulfilling his childhood dream of becoming a physician seemed unlikely. Growing up in a single parent home with dire poverty, poor grades, a horrible temper, and low self-esteem appeared to preclude the realization of that dream until his mother, with only a third-grade education, challenged her sons to strive for excellence. She observed successful people and encouraged her sons to emulate their behaviors, including reading. This led to behavior changes which had a profound effect on their education. In 1973, Ben Carson graduated from Yale University. He went on to receive his M.D. from the University of Michigan Medical School. At the age of 33, Dr. Carson became the chief of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, making him the youngest major division director in the hospital’s history. This would be among an extensive list of outstanding firsts for Dr. Carson. Dr. Carson’s accomplishments have earned him a place in medical history. He performed the first and only successful separation of craniopagus (Siamese) twins joined at the back of the head in 1987. He also performed the first fully successful separation of type-2 vertical craniopagus twins in 1997 in South Africa. In his career, Dr. Carson became a professor of neurosurgery, oncology, plastic surgery, and pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and directed pediatric neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center for over 29 years. He became the inaugural recipient of a professorship dedicated in his name in May 2008. He is now the Emeritus Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D. and Dr. Evelyn Spiro, R.N. Professor of Pediatric Neurosurgery, having retired on June 30, 2013. In 2016, Dr. Carson accepted the position of Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under the Trump administration. After completing his tenure as the 17th Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development in 2021, Dr. Carson founded the American Cornerstone Institute. This organization is focused on fighting for the principles that have guided him through life and that make this country great: faith, liberty, community and life. Dr. Carson and his wife, Candy Carson, co-founded the Carson Scholars Fund, which recognizes young people of all backgrounds for exceptional academic and humanitarian accomplishments. He is also the author of four bestselling books, Gifted Hands, Think Big, The Big Picture and his latest is ‘Created Equal: The Painful Past, Confusing Present, and Hopeful Future of Race in America’, all available on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09JS7GM88/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i2 He and Candy, are the parents of three grown sons, with three daughters-in-law, and blessed grandparents of eight grandchildren and live in Baltimore County, Maryland.

Karen Siegemund PhD – American Freedom Alliance: A Voice for Freedom and American Values

Karen Siegemund PhD, is the President of American Freedom Alliance and I had the privilege of meeting her at their recent conference in LA, titled Propaganda. AFA run regular conferences with high profile speakers on the major issues of our time. Alan Craig, my co-founder at Hearts of Oak, was a recipient of their Hero of Conscience award along with Geert Wilders back in 2007. Karen took over the reins from the founder, Avi Davis, a number of years ago and AFA has gone from strength to strength. What is the role of AFA in the world today and how does it seek to instil values of freedom, hope and truth in today's society? Join us to find out. As the daughter of a man who grew up in Hitler’s Berlin, Dr Karen Siegemund has always been keenly aware of how precarious freedom is, and how tyranny typically begins not with a revolution, but with a slow erosion of rights and freedoms. For this reason, Karen has dedicated her life to fighting against this erosion on every level. During the Cold War, Dr. Siegemund worked in the field of underwater acoustics, developing new sonar systems and testing them during sea trials around the world. After the defeat of the Soviet Union she turned her sights first to earning a Master’s Degree in International Relations, then a doctorate degree in “Education and American Culture.” Recognizing that only with an educated citizenry could we hope to maintain our freedoms, she became an educator; for over ten years she has taught in a number of areas, from Latin and French to Science and Mathematics, at the middle school, high school and University levels. Along with these specific academic disciplines, of course, she strives to educate her students about the values that make Western Civilization generally, and America specifically, as exceptional as we are. As another result of the recognition that totalitarianism creeps in with baby steps, and that our media has been complicit in its advance rather than the bulwark against it that it us supposed to be, Karen had founded and was president of “Rage Against the Media,” an activist group in Los Angeles which fought against the propagandistic nature of our news media. Since becoming the President of the American Freedom Alliance, she’s been part of the fight against a longer list of encroachments on our freedom, and has been hosting exceptional events ranging from World-Class Conferences to Literary Cafes, Lectures to Movie Premieres, all on topics relating to Freedom, how it’s being attacked and how we can preserve it. She has also paid a price for the position she takes in defense of Western Civilization and for her political activity outside the classroom. Karen became a victim of the very “cancel culture” she warned about when her teaching position at a local private school was not renewed. Among countless articles, the Epoch Times ran a feature article about her, and she was a guest on The Huckabee Show, a frequent speaker at clubs, organizations and events, and is published in a wide range of publications. The American Freedom Alliance is a non-partisan, non-profit organization which promotes, defends and upholds Western values and ideals. AFA sponsors conferences, publishes opinions, distributes information and creates networking groups to identify threats to Western civilization and to motivate, educate and unite citizens in support of that cause.
