We're going to talk about the world of fashion and events organizing, how do you go about it and what are some of the interesting opportunities that are in there for you especially as a young man and joining us live in studio with us is Julius Kibagendi, he is the CEO of, let me get the name right, Julimo Collection, so he's going to tell us how he became a CEO and if he's hiring very soon by the way, you can always drop your CVs, you know, everybody's looking for a job, me too, me too, you never know but welcome, welcome bro, first of all, good morning. Good morning, thank you for the invite, thank you for the invite to the interview. All right, you're welcome, you know when when CEO pops up in any in any sitting, the perception is this person has some level of cash, this person has some level of networks, I don't know from your experience and what you hold in your company and all the things that you do, does it ring a bell, is it a relevant conversation that you know, once I'm a CEO, there's some expectations that come towards me, like people are like hey boy now soon it up to your 50k, do you meet that a lot? Yeah, I can say I have a sustainable amount to sustain my business and to sustain my operation, okay about business is about growth, when you are young, you remember when you were, we used to be young, there's levels that would take, you started from nursery, you grew, you grew, you grew, so as a young CEO, okay there's much expectation from our society but time with time we are working on ourselves and soon enough will be big and huge brands to the world, so we don't succumb to the pressures that comes with the society whenever you tell somebody you're a CEO, but every day I'm working on myself, I'm bettering on myself and also I'm attracting someone to sustain me, okay sounds like a humble story, but now back to you, just a brief background of how you became you know what you are and then now combining two events, perhaps we can start with the fashion part since you're a fashionista, yeah the the journey of fashion started when I was young, my mom was my greatest mentor in fashion because when when I was young, we used to go to the market bring me some hot stuff like shoes, like nice clothes and everybody in our estate we used to live in Coyola was like wow that's a nice dress, that's a nice heart hair, so I grew up with that passion, I level up so when I when I was in actually in second school I started developing passion towards fashion and event organizing, so I think everything was came up because the way I was brought up, so I wanted to venture into fashion industry because I wanted to impact life for many people because many people want to look nice and presentable whenever they go to places or work or whenever they want to do wedding or whenever they want to go to event they want to look nice, so actually that was my main game of venturing to this business, I cut that part where you're from Coyola, there are so many names and so many songs around it, you know big in Coyola and now you here that you also went to the University of Nairobi you'll tell us what you studied there, you know there's usually like faint hopes when you come from such a community because the way it has a reputation of you know people that are not so much successful even when it comes to the music industry which is purely also intercepted with what you do, there are so many stories of like you know I just come from Coyola and yeah but again it seems like you had a lot of inspiration you mentioned your mom you know supporting you like who are some of the hottest guys in fashion that you looked up to during that time in Coyola? Okay for me my dream was above Coyola because I wasn't looking for the people in the local fashion industry I was looking for people like Gucci who are doing really who have done really amazing job for me my inspiration even leaving the hoods of Coyola you remember it was an accomplishment it was not such an accomplishment but it was a motivation for me because personally what inspires me most is whenever you're you're given an obstacle you have to raise beyond it, so yeah mostly by the ghetto people, yeah by the ghetto people so I've seen guys who have moved from Coyola they are now living in Kilimani they have made good life as I want to show like an inspiration to to the guys who are living even in ghetto. Okay sorry is that shengwar that you use for that? Do you feel like you may talk a block? Of course I may talk a block but still I'm going on going. All right do you know the likes of Diman Mukare, Dwayne Sharpa, you've heard of them I think they were big during those 2015-2014 I had just joined campus for my diploma they were like the guys who are going to check two five four get a fashion or go on in the house so you thought maybe you started together with the rest of the color fashion guru since you said you know him. Yeah okay those people also inspired me into fashion but for me I wanted to you know when you are starting something maybe your passion you know you have to follow your own route at the end of the day so okay they are great people but I said I was not only inspired by the local people but I was inspired by international guys because what is happening even in in our fashion industry it is because we just want to dwell here in Kenya right but if we expand our mind and see how can we how can you produce to the international markets right then we'll first we'll really thrive okay yeah we don't look at only on the local people and the local market but also we look into international markets yeah so that has really made me flourish I've got clients from even from international like Nigeria Tanzania yeah even from Switzerland and how do you deliver since you now have clients from Switzerland how do you make an effort and get to them during events I usually get a lot of clients in events because whenever they see your outfit they say I want to rock out with this like this one you have somewhere I don't know Friday and then somebody says yeah I just want this and then he's telling I will catch a flight by around three days I tell him okay let me deliver by that time I'll give back to you so that's how it gets international clients all right so my point of view is like my youths if you have a passion you have also to be self-driven for you to achieve your goals right so you have to go how said they are you have to be crazy for that dream just tell people you know I'm doing this and this and I have this idea please promote me right yeah sure I think we should also get to the name of your brand clearly uh what is the name of your brand and what does it represent okay my the name of my brand is called julie mo collection okay julie is my name julias and then m m o that's mo gaka that's my father's name all right so it is like abbreviation but it sounds cool because it was a nickname in a high school okay I used to entertain people I used to dance so they like nicknamed me julie mo so it was really fantastic dancer fashion because it was because it was in akwonga twins yeah they're like twins yeah so that's how it stuck and now here it is it's a business you know yeah it's now business and officially when did you like um spread your roots and finally get grounding in the Kenyan market the fashion fashion market in Kenya uh it was like three years ago but the whole plan started like three years like five years ago so in every business I think if you want to venture to business first of all you have to know the risk you have to know the people you have to connect well you don't just wake up and start a business you have to reconnect you have to know the risk of that business the people to hire the people to work with your target audience the target audience what is the profit margin do you want to achieve at the end of the day how you want to deal with the pressures that comes with the business yeah the bad times and the good times the good times how will you succumb to the pressures all right and everything looking for a building a place to start your business it took me time so it took me like three years of preparation when I kick started my business so one officially did it pick up you can't talk about the customers actually let me let me let me say 2022 that's last year yeah because I started 2021 so it uh it was not easy but uh not easy meaning in a lot of people say it was not easy but it was not easy because when you enter officially to a business you know you have a lot of expectation okay now when you enter the business now you real you face the real challenges right so the ones you first is it like what come again it took a long time to get uh clients who'd really trust me because trust which is like a co-ingredient of every business every business and also relationships a lot of those who do like um uh tailor made suits they have a lot of trust issues with their fundies and whatever in what sense exactly because our fundi will tell you that you know I'll take like three days to finish your heart and you're going to an event so you come there after three days so that's trust issues that's the trust issue whenever I could approach someone to tell me no you know I don't trust fundies but I begged for them I just told them just give me the job you see I'll deliver okay so with time I developed reliable clients who trusted me right and they brought me a lot of people they uh my business actually works through referral because whenever I do a good job somebody will refer me to another person right so you've established that relationship get trust trust is the most important thing in business business yeah all right now also but like initially before you started your business who are who are like what are some what what I'd say what were some of the inputs especially financially because every business anyway so you call it capital who are the main supporters of your business and maybe what did they contribute or maybe you personally started from a point of savings I said you know people say nearly seven consia high school and then you can't just uh uh keep on the size any kind of shopping mall I don't know your story with your brand how did you come up with the capital did you get some handouts here and there was it like a gift did you save a loan or something etc I can say uh during back in the days I think there's one trend that Kenyan knows a student in campus they usually do writing a lot of online writing yeah I started by doing writing but writing is quite uh tiresome and boring at the same time so I started by writing I saved some amount and I also had a couple of guys who believed in my dream so some people invested to my business so that's how I started my business all right so I'm looking at also you know when you're in campus your your guardian plays a huge role in support system did you have support from your mother your father or in general any guardian that actually injected in something uh it is completely opposite I didn't see if they are their support but uh we're supporting them oh you are supporting them but they were not supporting you all right you know but you know you but uh I thank god that you're here you know yeah sure as well as they say there's always a broken there's always a broken part or a broken story about yeah so I knew the the story of my parents so I couldn't stress them but they are really proud of me right now right now are you like the first one uh I'm actually the last last one but uh good thing about kusumbo how many siblings we are four siblings there are three ladies and I'm the last the only boy child where we're we're we're like a but anyway it's also good to be a last maybe uh as as uh now for your business uh how or maybe what are some of the designs that you focused on in terms of uh serving your clients okay do you want to okay and I could you leave more definitely me abcd abcd types of outfits which ones are you mainly uh producing from your business okay before I answer your question also I also offer like um uh support to people who want to I can dress people I'm a fashionista right and also I offer technical support and advice to maybe people who want to look good so even that's a fashion consultant or an image consultant yeah sure all right uh that's also a business on its own okay um so you have a red card or something if you want to dress someone here you definitely quote some amount yeah definitely but uh you can find me on my page so we can really discuss on that okay so it depends on what you want what you want to acquire still on that for a person now before you answer the question so if somebody is watching right now and they want to consult on how they should dress like uh what should they expect should they have some certain amount of money set aside before they talk to you because this is consultancy yeah of course you know it's business so business you have to have some resources so it's not about even a person also it's about connection there's a guy who connected me to so I really I really miss the ex governor so I really did everything fashion consultants for free so sometimes if you bring something on board which is good harder than money than money we can also talk business it's not all about money because wherever I am today is because of connection from friends and those who have supported connections in Nairobi now back to the question yeah what are some of the main designs that you produce I do african also I do african I do suits yeah slim fit suits like the one you're wearing is a slim fit suit yeah why is it called slim fit I'm from the word for slim people who are not no uh yeah there's people have different sizes okay so there's some people whenever they go to the shop to do maybe they want to and pick their suits it's so hard to get their their size perfectly so we call it a slim fit because it fits you the way you are so it is very comfortable with you you know you can wear something and you don't feel like you're comfortable with it yeah so usually too buggy yeah we deal with the what the clients want so we sit in the table you tell me you want maybe a buggy or a skinny one or just a moderate things so we put those details in the table and then we come up with something that you really you're looking for all right uh like a brief outfit like the one you've got right now possibly how much does it go for for if I want to buy it or someone watching wants to buy it how much does it go for and also do you offer like ready made outfits like is it already polite or display when there's a come or pick I might definitely have to start from scratch uh as I said before we do with the we deal with the slim fit mostly so we don't have ready ready but we have display you can check on the display display but we usually deal with the you just come you just tell what you want and then we do the design for you so like my suit it's the only cost so this one is a slim fit the one you got a slim fit okay yeah it's a two piece the two pieces trouser and blazer only 15 000 15 000 which is some good amount of money yeah some good amount of money right yes all right now also also when it when it comes to our fabric because uh because I believe your industry is more it's it's it's like you guys are in the textile industry yeah meaning you have to buy fabric all the time and you know times you know maybe some of the types of fabric now for you for your business what do you get the fabric oh we have different sources of where we source our fabric from and uh being in the industry for thing for the last five years I've studied a lot of I've done research on fabrics so I can I know where to source them I know how to source them but that one you can maybe if you come to my shop I'll really advise you because there is fabric that you can wear during cold times there's a during when it is so hot in Kenya so there's fabric for those times for weather for the weather and also I like my clan to be satisfied because I don't want to give you a suit that with time if you take it to a laundry after some few days it start fading so we usually concentrate on the on the quality of fabric okay so in Kenya okay then a lot of fabric in Kenya textile but also they are a lot of fake fabric yeah in there how do you decide for fake and real yeah it's through research I'm a scholar I'm a I'm a student so I do research on my own so I could buy a lot I could like maybe make a short of something or a blazer and with time I can test this this fabric is legit or not so with time we are we are having trusted people who we really source suppliers we really source the fabric from so they're like constant suppliers to your business yeah they're constant but it also depends sometimes we even import their fabric from what country exactly like Turkey Turkey they have a good fabric even though they are quite expensive but China often people yeah but Turkey has the best I can say they have the best fabric somebody told me Ankara is best from Nigeria in South Africa I don't know if you agree best Ankara African print is from South South Africa Nigeria yeah I met I met some Nigerian designers they really do amazing job as in the fashion industry in Nigeria has really grown okay so I believe it can be true to some extent but they are really doing an amazing job in the fashion industry and also because most Nigerians have really embraced their culture and the African culture so they really prefer the African wear other than to the maybe to the western wear so they even the western world is boring the Nigerian now we say now it's African culture they're boring some of their outfits or ensembles and using them in the music videos fashion events are you able to tell a material is real or not real just by looking at it or feeling it for me I believe I can it's like being able to distinguish a real do and affect do yeah I can really distinguish just by touching a feeling yeah okay just by feeling the texture and even a closed room if I look it closely I'll just all right let's deep dive a little bit to your events side you mentioned you also do events your network a lot with the people in that space as well yeah but now it seems like fashion and events be any twins yeah what what are some of the recent ones in Kenya that you'd say they have put your business on the map that you can recall me Leander Nick attend and it was really fine I met some great people after that we could get a caution and mango and we are kicking it till right now there's an event that happened recently it's called a common us common as an event that brings people from the whole world actually it is about environmental conservation so this event brought literally everybody from all over the world okay like people from Sweden for people from Switzerland people from from Indonesia yeah people from from Canada UK and then I think that I got a lot of clients because there's people who didn't carry their suits the event they tell me that can you do for us this and this because they were supposed to present yeah and that one actually increased the the computation to my business and also I would like to appreciate even our president he gave me an opportunity to be one of these events called Gabam Kononi they were launching the reason this happened last week actually last week yeah are you among the the people who got some I was I was invited are you invited I was invited to the event so what was your role in that event my role I okay because I do events also I do I do social media management so there was one of the guy who contacted me to do some social media management during the time during that event to run the hashtag there so that's also his side asshole you know Kenya is very tough so you have to like think big like you're everywhere in business yeah so also I got some clients to to do business with to do business why you paid for the gig because that was a big one man it was a big one it was like the president launching over 5000 actually it's 5000 and 84 services I remember was watching that were launched online yeah from health to interior yeah sure yeah did I pay you I was paid but hey we were you guys yeah we do some because I've done I've done some I told you I've done some writing okay so it really exposed me to even doing articles blogs I did some social media awareness during that day it was a great thing I was also invited to the event got some connection there yeah yeah sure and and and you feel like it's also going to boost your business as time goes by yeah it's boost because business every day you have to increase your like the circle the client base you have to increase it day by day for you to sustain your business okay you can't rely on only on the holder people all the your holder clients so you have to like to keep it sustainable you have to go to look you have to look for other people you have to network really well for your business to flourish right nice I'm what you're saying that I remember I think it is yesterday there's this fashion it's a French fashion thing that happened in states and I was seeing the Kenanayome Campbell's and the Kadibis and is the outfit so I'll come if I like outfits I'll see normal yeah normal meaning uh I'm a funicoso the new must do and it's called it's like I'm a seriously celebrated fashion event yeah I was trying to look at it in Kenya uh when you compare like the fashion industry overseas and here in Kenya what do you think makes us copy what they do and why will you say umesema vizuri sana why can't we not use our African culture and export it instead of us importing best to us I can say we Kenyans we have low self-esteem wow and we don't believe in ourselves yeah most people that are met from abroad they just tell us we have a great culture we have the Masai culture even from our communities we have our own culture the way we used to dress if you can integrate this to our modern life at least we can have something to share to the whole of the world like most Kenyans if you ask them can you promote me do some African art I defend you know I'll I'll prefer to go to Amutumba other than Gucci store yeah other than to promote your business so it is like we are consumers of the western culture other than embracing our cultures so I think and what makes us do so basically I think we are we are we are it is called neocolonism to some extent got it neocolonism and neocolonism we are made to feel that we are so inferior and the white money is superior yeah so whenever we meet Kenyans the first thing like somebody can meet me with a nice attire instead of appreciating in a positive way we'll give you some negative thoughts you know in your mighty like somebody will literally tell you that yeah they troll you because they can't afford it they are jealous some of the just mad that I think they are just jealous so we have a negative compliment so to a young entrepreneur we're starting a business if you are you don't have that hard heart a stone heart a steel heart my friend you fall down and some people will even tell you men suits are for people who have gone to gym you're so skinny you don't have to wear this yeah so yeah so such kind of things I think that is a mentality that if you consume it and it sinks into your unconsciousness then I think it will destroy your self-esteem so I'm shocked I'm stunned to be honest like somebody would hold such a very strong negative belief towards something that's actually asked most designers in africans people don't appreciate them because whenever you do something and you don't feel appreciated the tendency of you not giving of giving up that's what is so high for example in a school setup you really try your best to perform and nobody notices you you have really pulled you have gone from number last you are now like and nobody appreciates you you are like why am I doing this but whenever you have a support system the people who support you they tell you oh man so you find like you you get encouraged so I get some people who DM me they tell me man you are really doing a great job even they even they don't promote the my business but I feel so appreciated so I think if Kenya we develop that support system of supporting each other and also embracing our culture and going back to our roots I think we can really go far as fashion is concerned right um you make me remember there's there's one of my guests here he passed on I think last month he I'm sorry but say again okay in one of their conversations he said when you dress good you actually feel good and it doubles your confidence so do you believe do you believe in that philosophy when you dress good you absolutely actually I've met a lot of great guys uh a lot of great guys because I dressed well there's a time I met the deputy president of Kenya because of just dressing well because I was just dressing in a suit and I just follow those guys who are with suits and they were just going to the office and I just now came here now in an hour so whenever you dress nicely even you boost your self-esteem self-esteem nobody will judge you I've gone to great events because of just dressing people people will mistake you they'll say maybe this uh security is related to just let him now can't give up wow how did it go like you can't deny me sir how did you see it so they come up a corner cut the cutie will you see mama they were okay the guys started asking me and I was some judges you know I'm from Kayola just say I'm a media personality I just came to to see you what you're doing guys I'm going to cover your stuff and that's how I got some connections from there so it is about if you dress well yeah you feel good you feel good and also you create a certain impression especially when you're meeting people for the first time this is really nice okay and you are actually attractive when you dress well yeah sure sure but then there's also a lot of fashion trends in your industry recently we've seen a lot of color-blocking a lot of bright colors men are now like being encouraged to also dress up in like bold colors like pink Jay-Z called it mauve you know I don't know what you think about that do you encourage men to have bold colors like pink mixed up with another color she's yeah you know fashion is about when you wear something is like you are trying to express yourself so there's some people who feel that they want to attract some people they want to feel that they want to be sent of attraction so if you want to be sent of attraction I will prefer you go through those bright colors and whatever yeah about fashion they are the whole thing about fashion is just feeling comfortable with what you're wearing yes so if somebody tried to blend with the pink and every stuff is a way he just went to express himself or herself because I want to say my pink name I'm a damn son I've seen Jay-Z quite can I say many mauve on a day let's let's let's imagine um just a basic guy uh who has a nine to five a nine to five that means they work in an office uh possibly if you can imagine his outfit in a zakuage since witty but you know it's an ensemble that he's picking up from a shirt to a shoe to some pairs of socks to a tie or maybe a blazer in a zakuage or outfit I'm say and I work nine to five in short not a dress I'm say I'm paying instructions that's what I mean yeah okay nine to five and he's in the office yeah office setup nine to five office setup okay first of all we have if somebody comes to me like that we'll always look for a a fabric that is so light a light so light because in the office setup you know sitting to sitting in one place for a long time you will like accumulate a lot of warmth and everything uh rest of the thing so first of all we start with the fabric a very light fabric if you are sitting in the office and also a comfy like a comfy suit also uh the one that is not so fitting so whenever you're working on your desktop or whenever you're working on your job doing something you feel so comfortable yeah all right on that note as well uh what are some of the first uh I'd say maybe the worst the worst fashion mistakes that men make and you can um some eva every a bro no you're like char you need to do something you need you you need you need you need a facelift for your fashion in short it's a wardrobe malfunction uh function mistakes men make that okay and I don't give up you may show them up we buy us another oh the first one you you find people on the streets they wear a track suit with official shoes yeah my friend doesn't know yeah and also overblending of colors you find that somebody red shirt blue blazer pink trouser red shoes man you are coming from the whole rainbow walking rainbow yeah for me the most disgusting one should be uh uh and and and actually most people are not aware that they're mixing levels you know but then you uh to people who are function conscious or function sensitive like you are you definitely seeing wardrobe malfunction what would you advise people that are not fashion sensitive or fashion savvy or conscious of how they piece up their ensembles every day I think the it is so simple I think the whole game is simplicity stay simple and classy simple classy simple and classy okay you don't have to mix like a lot of stuff for you to look good just pure simple thing you can there's a there's a whole web right right now if you go to pin interest it will give you ideas of how you are supposed to dress how you're supposed to acquire some cloth yeah so it's so simple I think everything is about simplicity you don't have to overdo it for you to really look look nice all right yeah back to the Kenyan industry do you feel like the the industry is going to apply this is actually my last question before before you tell us where people can get you do you feel like the Kenyan in the functional industry is is still pretty young and now we integrate it with the events the events industry it's like they're trying to compete also for the same thing but then we are yes we're in the same business but we are competing for the same market and the same now we end up boring other people's cultures we prefer you'd prefer to wear what Nicki Minaj wore than what a Kenyan designer like you would design the Kenyan fashion industry is not too young the only thing that we are liking as Kenyan fashion industry is support support from the government support from the the people around us policies government policies that will advocate to promote Kenyan fashion industry I think that can really inspire people and also also what we are liking is an exchange program if you can have like top designers from Kenya being taken to other world to go maybe navigate or go just tour how those people go through their their fashion industry it can really work for us and also if the government can bring policies like we make our own things and whenever we import them they are free from those taxes of importation taxes I think as a as a country will go far because even the if the government can go outside and source and we just tell those people that we have a fashion year in Kenya and we want to sell them to your people a lot of people will agree will agree to that so I think what we are liking the Kenyan fashion industry is not young because I met guys who have quit doing electrical engineering to go do fashion like you you studied economics but me I have not dropped out of school I have not dropped out of school because of fashion but I found guys who are really passionate about fashion but the the problem that they had was they didn't have that proper support okay yeah all right we are exiting so if people want to consult you you said you can construct a person's outfit very fast where can they get you a number social media this is your camera oh thank you guys so you can promote my business and also if you want an emcee for your event you can contact collection on twitter on facebook and on instagram and my number is 07 6884 1806 07 6884 1806 thank you guys all right by the way as we go who's the most fashionable politician the one you might come across and say are you fashion sense yeah I can say Mike Sonko Mike Sonko yeah what about recently the president his black outfit I don't know if you saw it the president's also doing right yeah okay good yeah we're helping speaking to Julius Kibagendi he is a CEO of julie mo collection telling us exactly just in case how how now fashion sense by right now at least you know you know your way forward in between front and center my good name is Sonko we take a very short break we are coming back with much more still on that hashtag which is why in the morning I try to fulfill channel everywhere at brand so corner one we take a break we come back with much more stick around


Hello and welcome to NewsClick. Professor J. N. Sai Baba has been convicted by a trial court and has been sentenced life imprisonment for his alleged links with Mahvis. To discuss the issue we have with us, Gautam Lavalaka, an eminent human rights activist. Welcome to NewsClick, Gautam. So, Professor J. N. Sai Baba along with five other people have been convicted by a trial court and I think four of them have been sentenced life imprisonment. So, what do you think, what implication would it have? Let us begin with the conviction of six people, five of them got life imprisonment and one ten years imprisonment, Vijay from Kanker. Out of them two are villagers, Adivasis from Ghatchiroli. Apart from that there is a student from JNU Hemmishra Prashant Rahi, a journalist from Mutrakhan and J. N. Sai Baba from Delhi University. It is interesting if I can just quote an excerpt from the judgment which shows what is the offence that is being made out against all of them. That they are active members of, active members of CPI Maoist and its frontal organizations. They hatched criminal conspiracy to create violence to cause public disorder and to spread disaffection towards the center and state governments and were found in possession of printed naxal literature circulating information etc. etc. So, it is this is their offense. Now, the point is that the reason why they are being prosecuted is for their ideology either the sympathy, the support or membership of an organization, but at the level of ideological alignment. It is this which has been made a criminal offense and it is this which is being read as connected to political violence etc. etc. etc. etc. Under normal law, unless you are found to have committed an actual crime, you can be punished. Here what under unlawful activities prevention act it is possible to convict you on ground of your thought. It is a kind of a thought policing and criminalization of a certain ideology. It is this which compels the judge Shinde to also remark. Let me quote again from the judgment Para-1013 which is says quote, in my opinion the imprisonment for life is also not a sufficient punishment to the accused, but the hands of the court are closed so on and so forth unquote. My point is that left to himself, he would have preferred death penalty for this crime. The warning for us is that the direction in which we are moving is frightening that a person for or persons for their ideology, not for an actual crime that they have committed can be given life imprisonment which under Supreme Court's own judgment and understanding life imprisonment means till the end of the one's life then Mahesh Tirke who is 22 years old, Pandu Pore Naroth who is 27 years old, Hem Mishra who is 32 years old, Vijay Tirke is 30 years old, Sai Baba is 47 and Prasanth Rahi 54 years old. Imagine that they are supposed as far as the trial judge is concerned that the crime is such and their offences of such, such heinous and grievous nature although no criminal act has been committed that they deserve life imprisonment which means life until the end of one's life. It's frightening. It's a frightening thing so not just the conviction on ground of ideology and thought but also the quantum of punishment itself both together should be read as a clear indication of what unlawful activities prevention act means. Let me explain just briefly the difference between the two. Once you invoke unlawful activities prevention act then even a normal crime becomes an aggravated crime and the quantum of punishment gets enhanced. So for the same crime under a normal law the punishment that you get it gets enhanced if unlawful activities prevention act or any provision from that act are read into it. This is creating a system where the rights of the accused and especially in political trials of this nature because clearly it's a political trial. It's a trial against an ideology. Their persecution and their prosecution is a result of this. Gautam I would like to also throw some light on the case circumstances under which Sai Baba was first time arrested, police came in plain clothes, they picked him up from a college. Also the things that they seized from his place none of them were sealed which is what their family members are claiming. So did the court doesn't pay attention to all these things? Obviously the court has paid attention to it and has refused to accept any of those arguments and contentions. Now that is as far as I mean as for that legal battle is going to continue because it's going to go into appeal. Even in ordinarily I mean any life imprisonment or death penalty automatically goes in appeal to the high court and the Supreme Court. And given the Supreme Court's standing verdict which has not been overturned that there is no such thing as guilty by association that the sheer membership of an organization doesn't amount to a criminal act that you must have actually enacted being part of a criminal you know preparing for or have committed a criminal offense that you can be prosecuted. Obviously this judge doesn't give much you know credence to what the superior courts have said. So that legal battle will continue. But let me remind that this is not the first time where UAPA has been informed any number of Hindustanis have been arrested for or either they are Muslims or their Dalits they are Adivasis or left oriented individuals including civil liberties activists social activists journalists etc etc these are the people who have come under have been where unlawful activities prevention act has been involved. The way in which the police investigate the enormous powers that they enjoy which they come to then exercise arrogantly arbitrarily everywhere they go beyond their brief there is a suspicion and in fact there is evidence to suggest that fake charges are filed against any number of people I mean look if you look at the list of acquittals in the last few years of so many of these people who were accused of being semi-crime who are supposed to be members of semi which stands banned under unlawful activities prevention act or Arun Farera Varnan Gonzales, Binay Xen, Narayan Sanyal, Piyush Guha any number of people who have been charged under unlawful activities prevention act in so many of their cases they've been acquitted which makes it also clear that very often these these these charge sheets are found wanting even in terms of of the evidence that is required in this particular case completely going by what he claims is something illegal which is Naxal literature literature cannot be banned ideas cannot be banned. Yeah actually that was my next question that can you please throw some light on the Supreme Court judgment that you were recently referring to. Well they call it Naxal literature because anything connected with an organization which stands banned in the eyes of the authorities material the literature of that organization itself becomes a something criminal. So in their reading but the point is unless you've committed an offense you can't be I mean for instance the Supreme Court has on umpteen times has explained the difference between advocacy and incitement you can advocate violence but you can't incite violence. So my advocacy of say for instance armed resistance cannot be is not a crime but if I incite violence that becomes criminal. Now obviously there is a lot of learning that this judge has to go through to realize I mean this is an ideological political judgment very clearly and his orientation is extreme either chauvinistic I mean jingoistic and uncritical. Given that it very clearly exhibits the the the the the the predilection of the judge but that's not the main issue the point is that these powers are derived from unlawful activities prevention act this enormous arbitrary power to dish out such sentences and punishment A to accept the validity of that evidence then B to of the to give a quantum of punishment disproportionate to the crime in any way even if it's counted as an offense it makes it very clear that the the powers flow from unlawful activities prevention and act and that's where we must target at attention how does unlawful activities prevention act define unlawful and terror that itself is something that must be put to question. The organization I work for People's Union for Democratic Rights we have come out with two reports one which looks at the historic history of unlawful activities prevention act how it came into being starting with the first amendment to the constitution in 1951 which imposed reasonable instructions on freedom of speech association and peaceful assembly to the time the unlawful activities prevention act was passed in 67 and then new entire port of provisions were incorporated in 2004 and subsequently in 2008 it's that history which must be stood and I would I would really urge your your the people who watch your news click to go to podr.org and take a look at our reports band and dam which looks at which is a study of how ua pa operates when they ban an organization and it's a study of semi struggle for for for justice in the tribunals and the earlier report from 2012 which looks at the history of unlawful activities prevention act because I think unless we accept and recognize that a big battle must be against unlawful activities prevention act we'll get nowhere because I'm 100% sure that once it goes to the superior court they stand a good chance of being vindicated and being acquitted of those for what they have been punished unless I mean unjustly and unfairly but they're going to remain incarcerated for that long it can take some time before they come out but a real battle must be against for release of all those who be judged under unlawful activities prevention act and for repeal of unlawful activities prevention act it's an abominable obnoxious undemocratic black law that deserves not to be a part of it and if I may add one thing it's actually it's interesting that what unlawful activities prevention act does is what the freedom movement always fought against had rejected and it's that legal system which the british rajd used against the freedom movement has been revived was first revived in form of tada then pota and now unlawful activities prevention act so what kind of a country is it we talk about nationalism indianess and we are willing to throw stones and kill each other for over that but we don't even have the sense of of history and perspective to understand how an obnoxious law from british raj colonial period is being used by post independent governments in this country to throttle our rights our civil liberties thanks a lot gotham for giving us your time and as these things proceed it will be coming back to you on such issues thanks a lot thank you for watching news click


The following is a presentation of TFNN. Time to talk about your health. Living a primal lifestyle. You know, we have Tom from Tampa on the phone. Hey, Tom, good morning. It's bright and early now, huh? Hey, hey, hey. Good, Tom. How are you guys doing? Good. Good. Hey, uh, your news player's outstanding, man. I'm telling you, man, he's outstanding. And so the primal edge, I love that stuff. I'd never be without it. I mean, I've been on it now. Three, four months, man. I mean, it's just, I can't get over how good I feel. Primal edge is, you know, people are reading about it. People who are trying it, they know because you can feel it. We'd not be without it. Call now. Toll free at 1-877-927-6648. Now, your hosts, Niko Dahan and Paige Clark. Good morning. I'm Niko Dahan, and welcome to Living a Primal Lifestyle, where we explore a return to a more balanced and natural, wild world. That's right, to recover our natural health and regain our rights and our freedoms. And I'm Paige Clark. Good morning. It's a beautiful morning in downtown St. Petersburg, 79 degrees, going up to 87. It's sunny, probably a little shower in the afternoon. It's hot here. You and I have both been gone. I'm feeling it, being back. Welcome back. Yeah, welcome back to you, too. Thank you. Yeah, we all had fun on vacation. Hope you guys have been enjoying your summer. Make sure and pick up our house signals newsletter. This comes to you, what, twice a month? Yeah, on the 1st and the 15th. First on the 15th? And of course, yesterday this one came out and we're going to talk about a lot of that. That's on there. And I want to remind people to pick up the primal edge, our one-shot wonder. Over 310 organics, celery, liquid ingredients, all made there to keep you healthy. And get the good stuff in? And of course, eliminate the bad stuff. And give us a call if you're up and at it, 1-877-927-6648. Of course, we're on the vacation page, so we should talk a little bit about that. How was yours? Mine was great. I actually, you know, a lot of people said, hey, you didn't post pictures. That was part of my vacation. I did a little social media detox. It's kind of refreshing to just actually enjoy what you're taking a picture of and be there then worrying about whether or not you're getting it posted. And then people commenting and you having to answer where you are. I kind of wanted to be really on vacation. And I did kind of the opposite because I've been on Facebook pretty much all year. Yeah, and you did a great job. You did videos with your GoPro. Yeah, did little videos. We lost a few videos in some of the passes, but we had a great time. We spent four, let's see, we went to Durango for two days. We went to Ure for two days and met my son in Durango. I went four-wheeling and over all the different passes there. A lot of them were snowed in, so we couldn't complete them, but it was just the blast and, you know, having vacation with my son. It looked like it. Yeah, exactly. And his family, so that was really awesome. Then we went to Eagle and spent two days with Markabelle at Colorado Bigfoot. And I posted all the videos on YouTube and on Facebook. So if you go to YouTube, Niko Dahan. Niko Dahan at Facebook, you can find those things if you're interested in looking at it. Some of the passes were really amazing. Slow crawling over there and my son had his brand new Rubicon, actually his wife's, Tina's Rubicon. And the new Rubicons are kind of set up for doing this. Right out of the get-go you don't really have to add anything. Where mine, I added some skid plates and, you know, winch and things like that. Colorado Bigfoot, amazing. Showed us completely new areas. Again, could not get to Bigfoot Universe. He's there now. In fact, last night he posted a huge video where they went past Bigfoot Universe and went through this area of two or three miles where there was nothing. Just on a hunch, there was something there and it came into a whole new world. So people interested go to Colorado Bigfoot and watch his latest video. Markabelle's. Markabelle, his son, Colorado Bigfoot. That was really good. Then we got to see some family in Denver and then at the end of the ride we went down to Colorado Springs because Ben Davidson lives down there now. So we went to visit him and his wife, Kat, and the two children. And it was really nice. We went back to the home for a little while and chatted and really nice to bond with them again after a few years. You know, we hadn't seen each other for a few years and he's doing amazing things with suspicious observers. That's exactly right. I didn't realize that you had already actually physically met him in person. Well, actually, a couple of years ago I bought his first book, The Weatherman's Guide to the Sun. Right. And he was in Clearwater to see his parents or maybe her parents. That's right, I remember. He said, do you mind if I come over and deliver the book? I said, no, what a great thing. So then we had dinner together and my family's great. And he's doing some amazing things on suspicious observers. Yeah, we should probably get him on the show. That would be nice again, yeah. He's so busy, but his conference next year is in August. It's called Observing the Frontier. It's all about the sun and how the sun interacts with the earth. Is his conference out west? Yeah, it's out in Denver. So we're going to go out in Denver again and this time it's going to be in August so I'll be able to do an overnight with Marco Bell and do that overnight that I've been wanting to do. We just couldn't do it with so much snow up there. It's really remarkable. Yeah, it's like my son and Tahoe. He's skiing into July. The local people said it seems like April to us instead of July. That's crazy. I'll tell you, as I said, I didn't really document things, but I went up to Martha's Vineyard. I saw that our founder here has been there a little bit. Martha's Vineyard, a great place. My daughter's living up there. Did it last summer and went back this summer and it's just beautiful. I really had never been to that part of the country. Spent about five days there and then crossed the Big Pond and spent quite a bit of time in the Austria area and in the Austrian lakes. I was blown away by the color of the lakes in Austria. The water is just absolutely beautiful. I did a lot of my CT getting in the cold water and worked on my foot. Because the original plan was to go to South of France, there was that heat wave. We decided we'd stay in the Alps. We went to the Italian Alps and went to the Laga de Garda area. That was like being in South of France. It was absolutely beautiful. We really enjoyed that. We stayed at a place and sent them to you. I don't know if we can get them up but if not, we'll share them another day. We'll get organized. Anyways, we've got a lot of stuff to catch up. It's been something to be gone this time. I think that's really part of getting restored and resting. It was the first time we really took a break. Stuff still goes on, right? Yeah, this four week break and something probably I want to repeat next year. It's a nice break because it's that six week beginning of their holiday and everybody in France in that area is on vacation until September. Exactly. That's one of the things in Europe. They really have vacation three times a year for a month long versus the whole summer. We were there at the perfect time in the month of June. June is the time to go there because all the kids are still in school and they're so different that we're really overworked here. People need more breaks than they do and that's what the Europeans have learned because they've been in slavery for years too. And I mean slavery when we're forced to work for income. Exactly. And taxed. Illegally, I believe. But let's talk about what's going on in the world still. We've got a break coming up so let's set this one up. I did the health signals newsletters and these are some of the things I flagged and decided to put in the newsletter so we could talk about it while we were here and usually we do it the opposite way because the news comes so fast we really never know what we're talking about. But I kind of like to have the thing in front of us and talking about Roundup and the ingredients of Roundup in our food is one of the really thing that gets my goat. It really does because quite frankly we want to trust that organic food is safe from glyphosate and it turns out that really a lot of these companies are not able to protect it due to the transference so we'll cover this when we come back from our break. So stick around folks, we've got a lot more and meanwhile please pick up our primal edge, our one shot wonder and this is really something that Paige and I helped develop just because it was missing out of our lives so pick it up and you'll be good. We'll be right back. Be right back. You know what's cool? Taking something that's good for you.

Distributor for side fund services, LLC at 1-877-927-6648 internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER> This is not exactly new news because we know that this awful chemical has been getting all through the food supply. Yeah, the reason this came up now is because they did an actual test with these ingredients and the test proved positive. Cheerios and Nature Valley cereals are amongst the brands that contain Roundup Ingredients as study finds. In fact, they tested 21 OPE cereals and snack products such as Cheerios and they tested positive for traces of glyphosate. And the chemical is the active ingredient Roundup which has been at the center of several trials alleging the wheat killer causes cancer. And all before the products tested had glyphosate levels higher than what the environmental working group considers to be safe. And I really wanted to put this out here, Niko, because there are so many parents that think these little cereals are healthy snacks for their kids. Well, you and I would say not so much, you know, better snacks than... Well, I have a vivid memory of having Kellogg's Cheerios because I like the taste of them. They were very handy for my parents. They didn't have to feed me breakfast. And it was just an easy thing and an easy thing to do. They grew up on cereal. Yeah. And if you realize how they manufacture this stuff, this is high heat extrusion under high pressure. It's not a good product to begin with because we're talking about a grain. And if it's a whole grain that's maybe even worse than the stuff that they used to have the white grains and things like that because all the protections are in there. And those protections, remember it's a seed. It's something that wants the plant protects it through chemicals. So the animals won't eat it.  It's a starvation food. It's kind of like spaghetti and kind of like oatmeal and all these other things that we use. Yeah, maybe you put these kind of things on our shelf for a... I mean, it's almost, if you put the same ingredients, you can make Play-Doh out of this stuff. It's kind of like when we were over at Ben Davidson and the little kids were wanting to play Play-Doh. So Ellen and Kat were making Play-Doh and they were making the white flour with the water and a little oil. It's the same thing, folks. It's not much different. Eat your Play-Doh and you'll get just as healthy. Oh, that's so scary. And actually these 21 products were of the General Mills brand. That's not to pick on General Mills guys. What we're saying is, if it's there, that this brought out that I didn't really know before the spraying of this also has another benefit to the farmer. It's not just that it's getting rid of the ingredients, but it's also a drying agent. That's exactly why they're doing it, Nico, because it actually makes the harvesting easier for the farmer. And there's no reason to do it really just for the weed killing. And we've got a question in here from Zee. He says, Glyphosate with your breakfast. Oh, it's really good, right? And the question was, is Glyphosate in the entire wheat supply? I would say 99% for sure. And that's the scary part. I would say that all the crops in the United States, soybeans and the corn, those are the ones that are sprayed and the wheat, of course. Those are the major. If you have the sordermen, barley, those things all get sprayed too. Remember, it's not just about the pests anymore. Now, they've got this different ingredient that helps dry things, so it makes it easier for the farmer. And this is what this is all about, making it easier for the farmer to make large crops. This has nothing to do with the normal standard gardening techniques that we did on an individual basis. And not necessarily made to make the crop healthy or just actually turn that profit. And the farmers, that's not, that's their goal, their goal is to make a living and provide food. But unfortunately, the way the United States farms, this just goes through the whole world farms this way now. So, the Environmental Working Group has been monitoring this, and this is the latest report from the EWG to detect these traces of bifid satan cereal. What can you do? Well, one of the things you can do is you can actually take our primal edge, you know, shameless plug, right here, because folvic and humic are some substances that have shown to be helpful in binding. Like we say, it gets the good stuff in and helps get bad stuff out. The bad stuff, the glycophate surrounds it and takes it out of your body kind of the way the carbon does in the activated charcoal. Exactly. There's a binding. The minerals have an intelligence to them. Secondly, you guys have heard, and in the newsletter, Nico gives you a link, Purium has a product, the only patented product to prove, not that there are other ones like the folvic and primal edge, but the Biomedic is a product that has a proof of binding producing glyphosate in the blood. It actually has a patent, the only product in, and you've got a coupon in our newsletter if you would like to try that product. I pretty much want people to either be on the primal edge or the Biomedic to help reduce this load, because folks, even if you're trying to buy organic at home, our organic suppliers are having a hard time protecting their crops from the wind blow of these pesticides. There's no doubt. It's probably in everything we have.  And I must say that when we went out west, the food out west is so much different. We have good food in Florida, we have the golf that supplies us with some good food too, and we have great beef in Florida, but it's not the same as the cold weather beef, I say. When animals go through winters, they have a much heartier type of meat in them, I think. You go over to Austria, you know, one of the things in Austria. It is absolutely just gorgeous. I think it's so under promoted. Well, those valleys are so secluded in a way too. Yeah, and everything's pretty much farmed to table, but you know, there's a scent in the air, and the scent is manure. And that's because they do not allow artificial chemicals there. Yeah. And they reuse the manure for fertilizing, they turn the crops. And we saw that too alongside of the road as we went into the wild. We saw a lot of people using those types of practices instead of when you go through Kansas and you see those huge, huge fields, which I would say 70% of those were not planted across the west. I mean, because of the grand solar minimum, or if it's a grand solar minimum, maybe it's just the minimum. The minimum is really raising havoc on, you know, planting and of course now the flooding level and how we perceive how we get our food. It has to do with the weather. So I think planting on a individual level is going to become more and more important, and then you won't have to put up with us because I guarantee if you're going to plant a garden, you're not going to make Cheerios. No, and you exactly are not. And you're going to make some food that the rabbits like in your area. You're going to have a lot of your garden. They're going to be healthy too. And on floor they just passed the law saying that when picked times gets tough, if you want to plant in your front yard, maybe not in the homeowners communities, but the law says now that you can plant a garden in the front yard here. So they know something. We should be able to grow our own food exactly. And just for the record, the two highest levels of life is that the animals were at levels not safe for children, not safe for any humans. And my recommendations really don't eat cereal at all. Exactly. And that's what we've been saying for years, even before this whole thing came. But as many of you know now, a California jury has awarded a couple, two billion in punitive damages after concluding that the sustained exposure to Monsanto's popular roundup weed killer led to their cancer diagnoses. And there are looking for cases, but you need to be a farmer, agricultural worker.  Minimize your exposure to this positive ingredient. And of course, you know Monsanto now is owned by bear. Owned by bear to kind of diffuse the stuff. But we're going to talk about how someone says they like Monsanto.

If you're in the CD market and looking for a secure investment, the Tiger First mortgage program may work for you. The security for these first mortgages are building lots in the tax opportunity zone in St. Petersburg, Florida. The tax act of 2018 set up tax free zones across the country where you can build and hold for 10 years and pay no tax on the profits, which makes these lots valuable. The investment is anywhere from 30,000 to 75,000. The interest paid is $50,000 per year for a four year CD in the country as of February 20th is 3.1%. A $50,000 investment at a normal four year CD rate of 3.1% would give you income of 1550 per year or 6200 over the four year period. That same $50,000 investment in the Tiger First mortgage program would give you 3500 per year or 14,000 over the four years. What should you prefer? 6200 or 14,000 of interest on your investment.

So we're going to switch the rule here because we were talking about the Glycophate and how well and this is a perfect transition because we have a comment that I guess these people would like a shorter life span. They found a cute trick talking about adding the Glycophate. Well, you know, you almost wonder if there isn't always a strategy and I wanted to share this article because it's kind of exactly on that point and it's called Why You've Never Heard of the Mayo Clinic's Raw Milk Cure. Of course, raw milk is something that's not allowed in the United States except for pets. Although it was everywhere. I'm having a milk box on my porch and the milk got delivered but sometime in the early turn of the century, they had a big situation where they said, oh, milk is unsafe. Well, that's true in some of these big milk farms but what about when we used to buy our milk from a small farmer and he took care of his cows. This was not an issue. So my point is, was pasteurization really designed to keep milk or was it a move to protect the drug industry and let's go on. Well, my personal opinion, I think it started with the advent of these larger companies which means you have to keep the milk longer so now you have to have some kind of sterilization because milk by itself will start to go deteriorate. Actually, not true. Raw milk will last three weeks but pasteurized milk will be bad in four days. That's right. Pasteurized milk has set a standard for the manufacturing so they could keep it longer than the four weeks and the five weeks. This was all done again and this is why I think this is important. It's the same thing as the glycephate thing. They're doing it not for our health. They're doing it for the release, the selling and distribution of it. Well, and then let's add another point that I'm going to add into this article because listen to this. In the early 1900s, Mayo Clinic probably the most prestigious medical center in our country, Mayo Clinic doctors were curing just about every single disease under the sun with just one simple medicine. Raw grass-fed cow's milk. There's probably two things. Learn why big pharma and big dairy don't want you to know about the milk cure. And this is what I'm saying. They were sending the people on the front porch in the sun with the milk. Sanitarium. Just the milk and the sun. And what do we do now? We tell people to slaughter themselves with a bunch of chemicals to keep the sun off their skin. And we tell them they're going to die if they drink raw milk. And I tell you, I don't drink milk. I love milk. And I like milk from a raw grass-fed cow. And so I'm not a proponent of store-bought milk. But let's go on. In the 1920s, Dr. J. R. Crew wrote about the miraculous healing powers and abilities of raw grass-fed milk. And the protocol for his milk cure was simple. Put patients on bed rest and feed them nothing but a couple of gallons of milk a day. So while some of you may be thinking this sounds like a recipe for a severe case of, you know, lactose intolerance or whatever, consider that the milk he was speaking of is nothing like the kind we find in the grocery stores when we go. And probably maybe they were using from a different type of cow also. Remember the difference between the type one and the type two cows? Well, unfortunately, the rest of the world has the A2 cows. And America is really populated with the A1. And the reason for that is because they grow faster and fatter. It's all about the money, isn't it? Yeah. And so really what you want to do is find a grass-fed A2 cow, guys. And we'll teach you more about the A2. In the next 10 years, I have conducted a small sanitarium where milk is used exclusively in the treatment of various diseases. The results have been so regularly satisfactory that I have naturally become enthusiastic and interested in this method of treating disease. We use the... Good Guernsey milk. Equal to 700 calories to the quart. So he was getting a full-fat milk with the Guernsey cows. Guernsey cows and A2 cows, typically speaking. But it was actually a 1929 article that he wrote. This is Dr. Crew that the milk cure became the subject of two subsequent books and quoted an earlier medical textbook of the day suggesting he was not the only doctor of his time using milk as medicine. And that has been the case that I have found out in my research, you know? Crew and his colleagues use milk to cure and treat countless conditions including tuberculosis, cancer, heart disease, kidney disease and diseases of the nervous system, diabetes, anemia, obesity and underweight patients. Diseases A to Z. And let's talk about what really this is. I want to paint this picture for you. We are solar machines and cows eat grass. And cows have the stomach to extract the nutrition from the grass unlike us. We really don't have the stomach to extract nutrients from grass. So the grass collects the solar and the cow processes it for us and makes a very healthy substance for us to get the solar energy. And this is, I really want to share this to you. Striking results are seen in diseases of the heart and kidney and those with high blood pressure, he wrote. Patients with cardiac disease respond splendidly without medication. Now there was one patient that reduced from 325 pounds to 284 pounds in two weeks on four quarts of milk day while her blood pressure was reduced from 220 to 170. Yeah, and so he goes on and on. Another patient had advanced cardiac and nephritis disease lost over 30 pounds of edema in six weeks. And he spoke of some of the worst cases of psoriasis he'd ever seen. There was a little boy that was basically covered in the plaques and they put him on a milk diet in less than a month. He had skin like a baby's.   Right. Yeah, and so, you know, it goes on and on about people from healing and I drank my raw milk when I had my ankle injury and I will tell you, my surgeon said I healed as well and as fast as anyone at any age. Yeah, we were on a farm for quite a while when we first came to the United States and we had the milk right from the house and I remember when I turned and I got into puberty and of course at that time we had moved and everything like that and that's when I really didn't like milk.  I just don't like the taste of it. Maybe that was the experience from, you know, the real good milk and all of a sudden I had the bottled milk. This should get the attention of the doctor and he said he has even had a number of patients who use the raw milk fast as a beauty treatment. The tissues become firmer and the general parents is markedly improved and it's well known that there's no time in the life of practically any mammal but especially of the human when the body is so beautiful and it's perfect as during the period when milk is the only food. And also you could probably take a bath in it. Well, Cleopatra did. Cleopatra and I feel like my milk is starting to it's still good because it actually just turns into clapper which then goes into your yogurt and keyfers. I just take a milk bath. So I use you know the rest of my gallon and it's really funny because a couple years ago I was doing what I'm getting ready to start again is, you know, Ray Pete's a big fan of milk and Ray Pete's a biologist that I think has a lot of brilliant information on energy and regenerative health and I was drinking milk and I can remember that within two weeks I felt a real glow to my skin. There's natural hormones in milk that we probably need especially as we get older. So how about it guys? You know maybe the raw milk here was getting in the way of the pharmaceutical industry that was just about to blossom. What do you think? Yeah, and this wasn't in newsletter. We kind of got off track. Yeah, but that's okay. We threw it in there. We'll be back after this short break. We'll be back in a minute.

So it is in this section I will explain the specific differences between the forward contracts and the future contracts. So when we are talking about the forward contract, there are five major steps that we generally follow. The first step for a forward contract is that there should be at least two parties who agree to exchange some item in the future at a delivery price which is specified now. So the price, the value of the price, you will do now, but the delivery of the product or asset will be in the future and you will specify that date in your forward contract. And as I said earlier that your asset can be a commodity, it can be a financial instrument. It can be a foreign exchange, it can be anything, but it is a condition that the value of the price will be there and the delivery date will also be specified in the forward contract. Step number two says that the forward price is defined as the delivery price. The forward price, that is the future price that you have to pay or the other party has to pay, we call it the delivery price. And that should be the current market value of the contract to be zero. So we will discuss this further in a little while. Now another important thing which is a part of a forward contract is that when you are signing the contract, there is no need for any kind of payment at that time. The fourth important thing is that the face value of the contract is the quantity of the item specified in the contract multiplied by the forward price.  And the fifth and last point is that the party who agrees to buy the specified item is said to take a long position. The party who is buying that particular asset, we say it is taking a long position. And the party who is selling it, we say it in the technical or in the financial economics, we say it is taking a short position and the buyer is taking a long position. Who is the buyer who will pay in the future and that particular thing will be delivered. So this is how we can understand the difference between taking a short position and taking a long position. Now, who benefits from a forward contract? So basically what you do in the forward contract is you manage the risk, you hedge yourself towards the fluctuations that may happen in the future. You don't know that, for example, you are defining a forward contract for wheat. And you are saying that after a month, you or me will deliver a specified quantity of wheat. Now, after a month, in the price of that wheat, whatever loss there will be, it cannot happen on this particular contract. So in this way, you are protecting yourself against the fluctuations in the price of any commodity or any financial instrument. So this is the advantage of going for a forward contract. That you may benefit from a short selling or a long position. If one of the spot price on the contract maturity date is higher than the forward price, then whoever is taking a long position will benefit. But if the spot price on the contract maturity date is lower than the forward price, then the person who takes a short position will benefit. So this is how you can buffer yourself. Now, when we move towards the concept of futures contract, now we have talked about the forward contract. What are you doing in the future contract on the contrary? Future contracts are the standardized contracts. So there is no concept of standardized in the forward contract. Anybody can go for any kind of commodity. But here, certain clauses will be given, certain regulatory authority requirements will have to be added. So your futures contract will be defined. So it is a standardized contract which is specifically traded on the exchange. So you have a specific exchange, you can't buy or sell it anywhere else other than trading there. Now, another important thing is that commodity contract size and where and when the delivery will take place. All these things will be part of that standardized contract. Now, to clarify this in a better way, I would appreciate if you can have a look at this table. On the left-hand side, some information has been given about the futures and information has been given about the forwards on the right side which explains the difference between these two or makes it easier for us to understand. For the futures, we saw that futures will always be traded in the exchange. So there is a stock exchange like this, there is a specific exchange, futures will be traded there. But the forwards are privately negotiated. Now, futures are standardized. They have an exchange-specified, they are exchange-specified contract unit. They have an expiration date, tick size and notional value. These forward conditions don't need to be fulfilled. They are customized as per the requirements of the buyer and the seller. The futures are actively traded and the forwards are non-transferable. This means that if you sign a forward contract, then you can't transfer it to someone else. But in futures, it's not like that. Futures are actively traded. This means that whenever you are getting a loss of interest, you can immediately send it to the exchange and buy it. So they are actively traded. Now, what is the difference between futures? There is no counterparty risk since payment is guaranteed by the exchange-clearing house. That's why you can't fulfill your contract by giving it to someone else or taking it away. Futures are not in the contract. But what can happen in the forward? There can be a credit default risk because the entire process is privately negotiated and it is fully dependent on the counterparty for the payment. If the other party doesn't give you the payment as it is required, it doesn't deliver the commodity. Then you have to open the court door so that everybody can help you here. Another important difference is that futures are purely regulated and the forwards are non-regulated. So this is on the basis of these different features. We can very nicely understand the difference between the futures contract and the forwards contract.
