On this week’s Paul English Live (Episode 110), we kick off with some classic banter—rain-soaked England, finicky Windows boxes, and Eric’s bargain U.S. Army trench coat—before veering into seasonal silliness around Halloween and why so much of modern life feels engineered. From fasting and folk remedies (coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, iodine) to the eyebrow-raising topic of urine therapy, we explore what actually helps and why curiosity matters more than conformity. I share street-level conversations with local Reform activists as a live case study in “nudging” and neighbor-to-neighbor community building, then we widen out into media manipulation, crowd psychology, and the subtle mechanics of control across government, money, and religion. Nathan Lucius joins to unpack his book themes (fake awakening vs. real critical thinking), the power of “seeding” ideas, and how to talk to people without triggering shutdown. We reminisce about The Avengers (Diana Rigg forever), touch on King Charles III’s public prayer with the Pope and what that symbolizes institutionally, and spotlight William Tyndale’s fight to put scripture in ordinary hands as a parable for today’s information battles. Caller Etta adds practical tactics for waking friends gently—use history, plant a thought, let them verify. We close with a caution on over‑outsourcing our minds to AI, and a reminder: ask better questions, locally and often.

You know, darkness really has fallen across the land here. It's very dark tonight. It won't be dark for you necessarily in America because it's just gone 03:00 eastern time, but it's pretty dark here. And, of course, it's not just darkness of a meteorological type. This is a very dark nation now. Anyway, we don't really care about that. Welcome to the show. Hope you've had a cracking week. This is Paul English Live episode 110. Here we go. Lots of fun things happening here in England. I can't see them though. It's so dark and rainy and gloomy. Maybe we'll just talk about the weather all night tonight. We usually do.
Oh, my computer's been playing up a bit, you know? Did you just get a little jump there? Just got a little jump. I don't know what it is. I think it's groaning. I'm running one of those dreadful Windows machines, and I think, I think it I'm one of the people that is targeting. I've got to move to Windows 11. Are you in a similar position everybody or many of you? Yes. It's dreadful, isn't it? I don't like all that kind of stuff. Grinding away, really looking at Linux and things like that. That's gonna take forever because I can't be bothered to do it even though I used to run it about ten years ago. Anyway, hope you've all had a cracking week. We got a we've got an amazing show lined up for you tonight as long as I don't keep choking all the time.
We might have an amazing show. We never really know actually. It's, it's always jolly good. Anyway, we've got a guest rocking up at some point during the course of things. Nathan Lucius is due to be with us. I think he was quite keen to get here. I did send him a message saying you just need to lay off because me and Eric have got to talk a bit of horseshit to start off with. Speaking of which
[00:05:10] Unknown:
Nothing like a bit of horseshit, you know. Well, we do. Don't we? That's right. Yes. It's traditional around here that we have to kick it off with a kick the ball the verbal football around of it. How's the week been, Eric? How have you been doing? Must mustn't grumble. I got myself a good bargain, though. I bought myself a flasher coat, commonly known as a trench coat, and it has instruct full instructions inside. It says, do warning. It says, do not flash in the winter. Just jump out from a bush and describe yourself. So there we go. No. It doesn't actually. Now joking aside, I got myself an American army trench coat, and it's brand new for $39.99 pounds. Not bad, And it's gabardine and a 100% wool.
And I'm absolutely delighted because it doesn't look like an army surplus one. It just looks like an ordinary trench coat. Put it on, it's like putting a radiator on. It's really warm. Beautiful, it is. Wait. Did you did you get it from an actual physical shop? Did you go into a shop and buy it? No. I bought it on eBay. But,
[00:06:12] Unknown:
that's alright. If it fits, does it fit you? I mean, it's a pretty good like a glove. It really fits perfectly. And
[00:06:20] Unknown:
it's I think it's I don't know if it's World War two, Korean War, or something like that. But it does look out of place. It means just an ordinary trench coat. But when you look at it, because I'm going for wool and and cotton. I'm not I'm getting I'm I'm trying to do away with all these, synthetic fibers, and you notice a difference.
[00:06:48] Unknown:
You've disappeared.
[00:06:49] Unknown:
Where have you gone? Still here. I'm still here. Alright. Hang on. Just have a look. Yeah. I'm just in here. Alright.
[00:06:55] Unknown:
Yes. Synthetic fibers. I I was looking at trousers today online. How about that? Some of this has been written in. How about this? They said, aren't there statistics on how important the first few minutes of a podcast are to retaining listenership? There probably they're probably just Barefoot Forager. Yeah. They're probably is. Well, we've blown that one, haven't we? I'm sorry that we didn't retain you beyond two or three minutes. What a bugger. Damn. Oh, well, that's life, isn't it? You know? You spend all week toiling over a hot computer trying to get everything ready and then you cut it up right at the beginning. A quick shout out anyway to everybody on WBN. Hi. Good afternoon to all you American listeners and everybody in The UK there. Although, you can't get WBN directly in The UK due to IP banning and all this kind of stuff, which is very intriguing.
And shout out to everybody in YouTube and Rumble Chats and on Radio Soapbox and elsewhere, Eurofoot Radio and this, that, and the other. So, welcome to this week's show. I was looking at trousers anyway, after we've messed up the start. Wide trousers today I was looking at, but online, it's not the same as actually touching them with your bare hands to see whether they fit and everything. And I was, I I don't know what centimeters are to this day. Do you know what a centimeter is? I haven't a clue what it is. I think it's about I think it's about as long as a piece of string, actually.
[00:08:14] Unknown:
So that that that would be about a centimeter, I think. So you just find a piece of string and say, yeah. That's about it. Yeah. Yeah. So there we go. It's just ridiculous. So when they say 94,
[00:08:23] Unknown:
I'm going, what on earth? You know, I have to buy them for my waist, you know, thirty two. No. Not really. When I when I was 16. No. I'm I'm look. I'm actually I'm down to thirty six now, which I'm quite pleased about. Waist Good. Anyway yeah. It's not too bad for a fat lad. Not bad. And, anyway, yeah. Ninety five centimeters, something is thirty seven inches. I don't know. But there were I was looking for nineteen fifties style trousers, and you can actually still buy them that were made in the nineteen fifties. It's just what I'm thinking. 75 years old for a pair of kegs. I don't think so. Yes. I don't think so. I mean, I'm keen, but I'm not that I'm not that keen. You know, you'd be sharing them with all the creatures that had inhabited the the micro filaments and all this that, wouldn't you? It's just a bit worrying, really. Especially if the, original owner had running saws or something rather embarrassing, you know. That's it. That's right.
Because I think there was a subdivision. You know when you choose which type, I think there was one previously owned by owners with running saws. I think you could actually select. You could submit that on the drop down list. 10% did scout. Yes. Yes. And, if you start scratching, use the sort of NHS number, that sort of thing. You know? But,
[00:09:37] Unknown:
no. I noticed in the shops today, because I I do have sometimes, my servants had a day off, so I had to go and, believe that bullshit, believe anything. I went to had to do my shopping, and, it's devil worshiping all around the shops now, isn't it? It's Halloween, a day that,
[00:09:55] Unknown:
when I was a kid, it was just a day like any other day. Oh, it's Halloween. So what? You know? That was it. Well, I I guess maybe we could touch more. I don't mind talking a bit about it now, but next Thursday, obviously, is the thirtieth, which is still not Halloween, is it? Or No. Which is which will be but it's the nearest this show is gonna get to it as being close on the mark. We've got a, we have a couple of houses around here that go crazy at Christmas, you know, with all the lights and all that kind of stuff. And it's actually it's not a bad contribution even though it's a bit naff in some regards and I'm sort of indifferent to it. But they really do I don't know where they get all their money from, but they obviously spend it a lot on all these lights. But apparently well, not apparently. In actuality, they also go crazy for Halloween now. And I went past this one house, Tuesday, I think it was, on my little walkabout, my gadabout.
And it's just tons of skellingtons all Oh, sure. Like, live sized skellingtons. People are going bonkers. There's another garden about a 100 yards away where they've got gravestones that they've put in and everything. And I'm going, what's up with you? Are you daft? It's just it's one of the daftest days on the calendar. It really is. I mean, it just used to bore me to tears. It was about scooping out a turnip, wasn't it? Putting a candle in it and going, is that it? And then you just, you know But we never used to I mean, the only thing we had the fifth of, November, which is Guy Fawkes, and that was it, really. And I remember when, trick and treat, I hate that trick or treat,
[00:11:18] Unknown:
first came into this country, and it's some kids came out of American Air Force Base and did some trick and treating around the village, and they called the police out because the villagers nobody knew knew what it was in this country. And, the kids were chased away. The police came came along. What are you doing then, losing around here? You know, and all that. Because they didn't realize we didn't know what it was. It wasn't part of our culture. And then the next year, what did you get? Trick or treat. And it's all to do with money. And, I mean, I just think it's it it is something rather, sinister,
[00:11:53] Unknown:
satanic about it. I don't like it. I'm very uncomfortable with it. Well, I think there is actually. And maybe maybe we can make Thursday and and sit on this one a little bit longer, a week today. But I think yeah. I mean, you read I never know whether I'm just reading clickbait these days half the time. I don't know about you. You just go, good grief. Everybody's got a really interesting story to tell and I'm thinking that many. Maybe there are. But, I've always I think over the last five or ten years, there have been a lot of articles that keep popping up at this time of the year saying, yeah, we know that there's a sort of front end commercial aspect to it. The back end is that a lot of bad things take place on this night. And that would not surprise me because we're dealing with people that, you know, they're doing a lot of bad things anyway. And I mean really bad things. I've I had reports here. There were some people that we knew over in East Sussex, I'm in West Sussex, who were saying that they'd stumbled across sort of like, you know, gatherings of people in the middle of the night in woods burning things and stuff. I'm going, really? Yes. How daft can you get? You know, I'm sort of like Sandy in Bedfordshire. Comes to this stuff. I'm are you what's what's up with you? You know? Yes. But the thing is that these convictions run deep with these sort of Oh. I guess Yes. Generational families.
[00:13:02] Unknown:
They run very deep, don't they? Sandy in Bedfordshire is a place. I knew somebody that moved down from Newcastle to Sandy Yep. And couldn't wait to get out of the place because it was a very creepy, strange place. And if you've ever been there, it is a very creepy, strange place. And Right. They said, the local vicar, he was from Newcastle, and he said to this woman, be careful. Keep your doors closed on certain nights. They're very strange around here. And she witnessed this bonfire on a hill and some very strange things going on. There's a lot of incest apparently went on there during World War two, because all the men were away sort of fighting and things and lots of really weird things. I found it a creepy place.
But, now with with with, Halloween, well, it's the usual thing. Some money, mate, in racket. A load of old crap coming in from China, and the next day, it all goes in the bin. And that's it.
[00:14:02] Unknown:
Yep. Yeah. I don't get it, really. I never what you were saying there about trick and treat as a kid. It was just embarrassing. How would you We never we never had it. No. We never had it as a kid, did we? I mean, it's just come in in the nineties. Yeah. It's and we we have we've had not that I'm expecting any now because all the children that have been locking on our doors over the past well, maybe I suppose eight or ten, fifteen years ago that they've all, of course, been eaten by now because they're all part of a covenous. No. I'm making that bit up. They, even when they knock on the door and say trick or treat, there's no real conviction in it over here. It's got no traction. It just doesn't mean anything.
That's right. I I just find it, of all these nights that they've created, it's the most bogus one of the lot. But I think in serious circles, it's serious. And, I think, you know, what is that creepy feeling? Is it your instincts actually working properly? Or is it are you just mentally suffering a psychosis and getting spooked?
[00:15:02] Unknown:
I I actually think a bit of both, actually. I don't know. Yeah. I think the government is a death cult. I really do believe that. Gover all government is death cults. And I actually think the government is probably behind it. I really do. It's work on the subconscious. I might be going into this a little bit deep, but, you know, when you look at the amount that more it was put put it this way, more people have been killed by their own government than all the wars put together. So they're deadly. Yep. And that's all they're obsessed with, is death. Look at the government, it's all negative doom and gloom and death. That's all it is. That's all we're in. Yep. So Well, they're definitely obsessed with with control, I think. And,
[00:15:42] Unknown:
I've got there's all sorts of little I don't there's things I wanna talk about tonight. I don't know when to start talking about them because they might take over the whole show. I don't I mean, or we'll keep coming back to them. This whole thing about control systems in human affairs is, it's fascinating. That's not even the right word. It's compelling stuff because I don't know about you, Eric. When you're sort of reading about the way that governments, for example, operate Yeah. Or structured religions, right, there's a parallel in all of these things Yeah. Or the way that the law societies work, or the way that the educational authorities operate, or those in charge of the media, etcetera, etcetera.
They all conform to a similar pattern. You've got hierarchies, you've got positions of power. The higher up you go, the bigger the hat you get. I've That's right. Yes. I thought the whole world runs on hats, basically. If you can get the biggest hat, you're in charge of the whole world. And, something like that. These are all these sort of ancient signifiers of who's in charge, you know, in human affairs and they're all they're all modeled like this. And of course, the people that are supposed to be served by these institutions may have been in the early days because I think nearly all of these things do start off with good intentions. I could be wrong about that, of course.
But let's give them a benefit of the doubt. But in due course, every single one goes more than pear shaped and ends up really controlling
[00:17:05] Unknown:
and limiting the capacities of the people that they're supposed to serve. Don't you think? I mean, the health care things is they're all the same. Oh, that's right. The same. Yes. I mean, let's face it. The health care well, it's not care. They're just a load of, I call them, the Muppet Show because they're just a load of zombies. They're a load of robots that go around, and, it's not care at all. It all it is is it's a a big business. And, they're drug pushers, and that's why I keep as far away from them as humanly possible. I think that Yeah. But, you know, I mean, today in my little walk, my little gallivance to the local supermarket, which is about forty minutes walk away, I had to pass by a chemist, and I saw people coming up with little doggy bags or goody bags, NHS goody bags full of toxic poison and muck and rubbish Mhmm. And, they throw down their throats. And this is a question that I I'll always put, and that is, if the pharmaceuticals are so good, why do you have a repeat prescription? Surely you just take them and they'll cure you, wouldn't they?
So there's there's a little thought. And also, low there's big companies set up that will deliver your toxic muck to you for free of charge. How about that then? So,
[00:18:24] Unknown:
that that I mean, we're we're kind of at the tail end, or at least it feels like the tail end of a long slide into ruin, as it were, in all of these areas. And, of course, the pharmaceutical thing is, the Rockefeller family, as we well know, large in that with how they sort of overthrew the American medical the actual genuine healers in America. And no doubt the pattern's been repeated here. You see all this guff and people, you know, I have to look at all the government ministers championing the pharmaceutical companies. They're going to solve all these problems. Really, are they? You know? So it's, it doesn't really come across like that, does it? It really it really does not. Look at Richard Nixon. He's,
[00:19:04] Unknown:
what is it? He's war on something beginning with c. That was, oh, years ago, fifty, sixty years ago. It never won, did it? Because, the fact of the matter is what they've got to look at is your diet, what you eat, what goes in your mouth. Yep. And and as someone once explained to me, if you put a teaspoon of sugar into the petrol tank of your car every day, what will happen to the engine? It'll seize up. They said, well, just think what that sugar is doing in your body. It's true. It's very, very true. And, Yeah. Because up until about a 100 just over a 100 years ago, most people only ate one meal a day. And if they ate more than two, they were considered a gannet.
But it was thanks to the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds and, the cereal makers, I won't mention their name, that said, oh, you know, you've got to have three meals a day and start with Sierra, which is one of the worst things you could ever wish to have first thing in the morning. You know what I mean? Yep. But this is the thing. It's all for money because if you have three meals a day, you're spending more money. And also, you're eating more of their muck they're they're trying to sell you in the supermarkets. So Yeah. That's interesting. You're right.
[00:20:18] Unknown:
One of my sons came to me today, Eric, and said, dad, I'm I'm thinking of going on a three day fast, and I think you should join me. I said, okay. I'll need three days to think about that.
[00:20:31] Unknown:
Not that I'm a guinea. I I I think I've fasted twice. Can you hear me okay? Yeah. I can hear you, but you've gotta prepare your body for it. You can't just go straight into it. I mean, I do eighteen hours a day, basically, between sixteen and eighteen hours a day. And, you will find that in two weeks I mean, I lost a stone and a half. You if the weight had just dropped off of you. But you've gotta be a bit strict on yourself. And, I don't eat anything from half past one onwards or 02:00, and that's it. I know.
[00:21:01] Unknown:
Apparently, when you fast as well, Belgian shortbread cookies with chocolate in, is not you you're not allowed to eat them. And this is a major challenge for me. It is. Isn't it? It's it's quite a problem. But you can within the eight hours.
[00:21:16] Unknown:
But you can when you're not functioning. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So,
[00:21:21] Unknown:
I am, of course, teasing a bit. I actually went three and a half I think when I was in my twenties, I went three and a half, four days without food. Was working at the time. In fact, the company that I was in, the entire company had a week long fast. How about that? Yeah. 250 people. And everybody was going around with, deodorant. Lots of deodorant flying around. Just because as their bodies began to decompose. Cause we're all working pretty hard as well, sweating over a hot piece of paper, you know, with a pen or Yes. Typing away on computers and all that kind of stuff. Yeah. It was quite interesting. Yes. Quite interesting, really. I can't say I was too keen at the time. I mean, people can sell you the intellectually the benefits of it, but I wasn't really I'll tell you one thing I did do this morning that you'd be quite impressed with. I, I peed on my toes.
[00:22:10] Unknown:
Did you really? It does. Well, that that does happen when the wind changes direction, doesn't it? You know, I mean, especially if you were doing it on purpose. Oh, yes. I was on purpose. It wasn't just to improve my aim, although it did improve slightly because of that.
[00:22:24] Unknown:
I was out with some I was out with some chums on, Tuesday evening and lots of talk about urine therapy. Yes. Right? Urine therapy.
[00:22:39] Unknown:
I've been very excited about it. We
[00:22:40] Unknown:
didn't order any wine. We're just everybody just I said I'll be back. Give me a jam jam. I went back and everybody got stuck. No. We did bother with wine. But one of the things that came up was, you know, toe fungus. Do you ever get it under your nail?
[00:22:53] Unknown:
No. I don't. You never get that. No. Because you can get rid of it with apple cider vinegar.
[00:22:58] Unknown:
Okay. What? You put that you put that on, it's ectopic, is it? Or you drink it? No. Well, you but both. Both. Mhmm. But apple cider vinegar will get rid of that. And,
[00:23:10] Unknown:
the the the the yeah. I mean, I've never something I've never really had had a problem with, toe fungus or anything like that. Mhmm. But I think it is, it's probably the vitamin deficiency. I don't know, but we better see, Barefoot Foranger would probably have something for that. Let's have let's have a look a bit bit, see if Barefoot Forringer's got anything for it.
[00:23:31] Unknown:
Let's see. When you're a bloke, you see, you can basically put your urine wherever you want to. Yes. It's not difficult. It's not difficult. And it there's something really satisfying about improving your aim isn't there, Eric, you'd know? I mean Yes there is. All the time. Tough, sir. Yeah, no. I mean I don't have it bad. I've had it for donkey's years. It's just on my big toe on my right foot. Everybody, I know you're all absolutely incredibly keen to know what it was. But it it just it it just won't go away because it's buried under the nail, you know. So the rest of my feet are reasonably okay. I do quite a bit of walking. I don't have sort of much else, but Well well, both feet give it a go. In apple cider vinegar.
[00:24:08] Unknown:
And pee will do it. I mean, pee, that's what they use to actually wear in army boots, wasn't it? They soak their,
[00:24:14] Unknown:
leather Right. In pee. This is the first World War in particular, and I think in the second World War, they did it. I don't think my dad did it. And it'll make this leather all nice and supple. And also people won't go near you because you stink the piss. But apart from that, that'd be alright. But now you're I I've been told you don't, and I have actually drunk my own about four or five years ago. I I did it two days in a row, and that I I've still got the psychological thing of going, good grief. What are you doing? And, you know, it's alright reading stories about sailors that are sort of clinging onto a life raft and having to drink their own to actually survive. And I can understand why you would do it. And all the sort of logic and the science behind it make a lot of sense. Apparently, it stimulates stem cells. Also, it's literally pure filtered water from your body. So it's totally matched up to the way that your body actually works. You don't wanna be drinking anybody else's, by the way. That's not what we're saying.
It's your own, and there's a lot going for you know that thing, of course, when you're a child, when you're in the bath and you pee in the bath and your mum gets cross, all that kind of stuff? Yes. Don't do that. Right? It's dirty and all that. Yes. But apparently it's really good for you because obviously the water that's coming out of the tap is full of whatever it's full of, chlorine and all these other things. Yeah. When you actually pee in the bath and, I don't mean for everybody to stop listening to this show and go off and do that right now. It's just you Aunt Sally, make note, please. Aunt Sally, please make note. Yes. She may well know this, but she's such a lady that she's never wanted to talk about it. And rightly so. We don't want to know about all this kind of stuff. But apparently, you know, like, what's that? The Japanese guy who did all the studies about talking to water and giving it good emotions Oh, yes. Yes.
Well, it's the same with your urine. And basically, what happens when it goes into the bathwater, it changes all the water, like, through, you know, instantaneous connected memory through all the water molecules. And it gets rid of all the crap out of the bathwater and it's actually good for your skin. So that's it. So I'm planning now to drink gallons of water about 05:00 then go for a bath at seven and just go billy o crazy.
[00:26:18] Unknown:
Yes. It says on your water bill as well. But, no, seriously, Eli would know this. In Vietnam, when a bloke got injured, they'd pee on the wound. Because in the jungle, that was a that that was pure water that they and Mhmm. There's something in urine which has got lots of healing properties, and they reckon if you cut yourself, bathe it with urine, and that will that that is a sort of, natural disinfectant. And it'll actually be especially for you because it's it's got blood in it and all kinds of things like that. So, yes, it's it's very good for you. And I know that whilst sitting there, there was one chap who went for a couple of months drinking his own pee. And, he reckons it. He's you know, after a while, you don't notice it. And there's a is it Sarah Miles? I think she did it as well, didn't she?
But,
[00:27:03] Unknown:
yes. She did. Yes. She was yes. Yeah. She was on a lot of TV shows and I think she was one of the first prominent people, sort of a celebrity as it were, to talk about it. And of course, a lot of people were were at the time this would be in the seventies and eighties, wouldn't it? They were kind of repulsed by this. I would have been one of them, you know. How dirty and all that. I was. But, yeah. I think, I mean, it might even be in scripture as well. I could be wrong about this, but I know in certain ancient documents, is it not referred to as the water of life?
[00:27:33] Unknown:
I think so. But I I know that, in the first World War, the French used garlic as an antiseptic. And then they did an extract of urine, which was an, which was an antiseptic. I think the British did it. But that's really a lot of these antiseptics are, urine. But Barefoot Forringer in chat has said that for nail fungus, and she's actually got the technical name, which I'm not even gonna begin to. Was it onychomykososis or whatever it is? Apple cider vinegar, as I said, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, garlic Yeah. Coconut oil, tea tree oil, oregano, aloe vera, Epsom salts.
[00:28:12] Unknown:
Aloe vera.
[00:28:14] Unknown:
Aloe vera. Yes. Yep.
[00:28:16] Unknown:
So there we go. So not I just came across some hydrogen peroxide in a bit of a cupboard clear out today. I don't have much of it, but, I know that that's pretty good for you. Yeah. And one thing I've been doing this week as well, seeing as I were on a healthy look at us, gentlemen. We're really trying to look after ourselves. Very unbloke like. I clean my teeth with coconut oil anyway. And, it might have been on the Telegram chat, so shout out to whoever did it. I'm sorry. I can never I can't keep on top of all these things. But, somebody sent in a clip,
[00:28:45] Unknown:
of a woman talking about brushing your teeth with coconut oil but adding turmeric to the coconut oil. Yes. But the trouble is is that yellow stains every bleeping wear and it goes all over the place. Sorry.
[00:28:57] Unknown:
It did. It did because it went into my beard. Right? I mean, basically, I shave about once every six weeks. And and then my beard's sort of considerable. I'm actually in training really to try and get a job as father farmer Father Christmas, you see. And, so you know you know the guys that used to smoke a lot of cigarettes and they'd get all the yeah? All that kind of stuff. And, I had that. My my mouth below the bottom part of my beard had gone this sort of bright curry yellow. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. That was cool. Here's how savvy investors But it does work. It does work. But, it it does work.
[00:29:38] Unknown:
But, I've actually found, salt as well. That's that's a good one. Bicarbonate soda, I use. Once a week, I brush my teeth with bicarb and the toothpaste. But, yes, Lidl's doesn't pay us for this, but that those jars of organic, coconut oil, excellent in Lidl's. You get, it's just over two pounds,
[00:30:01] Unknown:
which is not bad Right. For organic. No. And I think you get it, don't you? Don't you Paul? I think from there. I do. I actually just sent my son off the other day. Yeah. Lidl, I got him to get 12 jars. I buy by the dozens. So I buy bucket loads. It's so useful. We're frying it. Look, it's just like things have changed, Eric. Here we are talking about all these domestic things, but it's important actually. So, yeah, I don't cook with olive oil anymore. We used to fry things in olive oil, but I understand that goes carcinogenic, so you don't wanna be doing that. So, that's only one thing I do. We we sort of boil potatoes up, leave them for a bit, and then I'll slice them and fry them in, coconut oil, make them golden brown. They're absolutely fantastic with a bit of meat or whatever you've got going. Yeah. Yeah. It's great. It's really, really good. And I'd But And I'm eating less these days anyway. So I would go to the chip shop, you buy chips. It's sort of like a kilo. I mean, it's just tons, you know. I go,
[00:30:52] Unknown:
I guess you don't want four pounds worth of chips. Well, that's all we sell you. And you just come out with this huge amount of them. It's not that. And of course, they cooked in whatever they cooked in. But whatever. Whatever. Whatever. Well, there's something about fish fish shops that I mean, there's very few fish real fish and chip shops around nowadays. A lot of them gone bust. And And what you got is these ones that sell Kentucky fried not Kentucky fried, but, you know, chicken and god knows what. And they don't know how to do proper fish and chips in a like a traditional, fish and chip shop. But regarding your nail fungus, I'll not only have a word with Miles about it, the Mhmm. Fockemall doctor, but doctor Mayhill is coming on this Monday, plug, plug, plug. And I might have a word if I can, I don't sure, about her because it is something inside? It's a vitamin deficiency, which is causing it. So if you can find what that deficiency is, it might be something like iodine or something like that. But I've actually got some iodine from doctor May my Hill, and I put just one little little droplet of of of that in my tea every day, and that does me. And that's very, very good for you, iodine.
And, that also cleans your urine as well.
[00:32:06] Unknown:
That's another another thing that iodine does. Oh, that's pretty cool. And you mentioned fish and chips there. I was on with, was it the other week? I can't remember. Or maybe this week. I was listening to, Joss who's nearby to me and he's on Ria's show every Thursday. He was saying that he'd had some guests around and he'd ordered fish and chips for all of them. I think it was about eight. Yeah. What what do you think he'd paid?
[00:32:29] Unknown:
For eight lots of fish and chips? I ate lots of fish and chips. I think you'll probably be touching about £50, something like that nowadays.
[00:32:36] Unknown:
Try 80.
[00:32:38] Unknown:
Bloody Nora. And I bet he has a little tiny bits of fish, little bits of few handful of chips.
[00:32:44] Unknown:
Well, I don't know. There'd be a riot if you pay at £80 and get any food at all. But I mean, it's just unreal, ain't it? £80 for fish and chips for, basically like two families worth, I suppose. So that's probably why people are not going there so often. But enough of this, Gabe. Have we talked enough manure for the opening half an hour? I think we've done pretty well, haven't we really? We haven't. I mean, we have. And the Barefoot Foranger is actually talking about going for a job as, Christmas
[00:33:08] Unknown:
Christmas. Well, I actually got smacked around the face because, I round in their local town center last year, they had, Santa's Grotto. And they had these lovely scantily dressed ladies, you know, sort of like acting as I don't know what they were. Dwarves or something. I don't know. To Yeah. Usher the people in to see Santa Claus. And I said, it must be fun. Do do you help Santa to empty his sack every day every evening? And I couldn't I mean, what did I No. What did I say wrong? What on earth did I say wrong? I just I just don't know. I just put my thought in it every time. I mean, I went into a shop to buy some felt. Excuse me. Can you tell me where I can get felt smacked around the face again? I just don't know what it is. I just thought we'd put it in. I've misplaced my Reader's Digest handy book of double entendres, and I can't actually I can't figure out exactly what you just said. But I'll I'll look it up after the show.
[00:34:10] Unknown:
Anyway, we we have a we have a guest who we've been trying to bring in. I know he was with you on Monday, but, Nathan Lucius is, is here, with us. I think he's currently muted. Let me just have a look. I've just brought put him on the stage. I'm gonna oh, he's he's not He's not now. He's he's unmuted now. Now. Hello. I'm muted. I'm We love it when you're unmuted, Nathan. It's so much it makes it so much more interesting for the listeners. This is great. I I was just wondering why nobody was responding to me while I've been talking for the last half an hour. It's just, now now now I understand. It's because I've been muted all the time. Yes. Well, it's a tactic. What we do is we like to dump people in the side part of the studio and let them talk to themselves. Right? And then they get in the mood with the whole thing. That's what we do.
So, yeah, that's what we do. Anyway, it's great to have you on board. How how have you been? I know we've sent a few message and everything. And I know you were liggling around with Eric on Monday. I caught some of that show, but not all of it. But it's great to have you here. How have you been doing? I've not heard from you in a little while. Have you not? It can't have been that long, surely. No. It's been that long.
[00:35:08] Unknown:
Well, I've been I've been gallivanting away with, Miss Barefoot Forager over there. So, you know,
[00:35:14] Unknown:
Well, this is a family show, Nathan. And we can't but that's, we're very pleased for you. We'll have to keep it clean.
[00:35:20] Unknown:
Well, how long is it now? It's the same size as it's always been. Sorry. The the lump bump bump. I mean, to be fair, when you when you said you were gonna spend the first half of the show talking about shite, I never expected you would literally go into urine therapy. I mean, that's that's an interesting one.
[00:35:34] Unknown:
Yes. Yeah. Well, I never know quite we never quite know what we're gonna end up talking about. I've got a few sort of things to peg on. I wanted to talk a little bit about your book. Yeah. Yeah. I wanna talk a little bit about your book tonight because we've Nice. We, you know, we we just wanna do that. I've got the chapter headings here because I've been going through it.
[00:35:51] Unknown:
I haven't been reading it. I don't have a copy. Well, I just, you know I still haven't sent you a copy. Oh, god. I'm I'm the worst. I'm the worst salesman ever. Right? It's my own book, and I'm the worst one that's selling it, honestly. So you want to get the whole reason we're getting you on to the show.
[00:36:04] Unknown:
This is the whole reason we're getting you on was to embarrass you about that, but I I can't do it now because you've you've preempted me. I was gonna embarrass you about it, but you you beat me to the point. I don't think you What? I'm probably gonna get a Kindle version. I'm a I'm a big Kindle guy, and I think Kindle's gonna work for me, with your book. That's why I was checking it out. I don't have a copy just yet. I've been reading so much over the last week that I've not I don't even know really what's going on in the news, which is really fantastic. It's great.
It's really good. You're liberating.
[00:36:32] Unknown:
You're freeing your mind, mate, because there's nothing good in the news. And honestly, is it even news or is it just propaganda at at this point?
[00:36:39] Unknown:
I don't know. I think there's a song in there though. Is it news or is it propaganda?
[00:36:43] Unknown:
I don't know. There's gotta be a song in there, but I ain't singing for you. I mean, people keep trying to get me to sing. I ain't doing that, especially on air. No? They're doing that back up. What a pity.
[00:36:53] Unknown:
Yeah. It is. And what about Atlas? Great pity. What about Atlas? Have you heard about that? What's that? That's a UFO or something. Yeah. There was spayed green men that are supposed to be coming through to us, and it disappeared. Apparently, it's just gone. So that's alright. So we yes. So we all say a breath a sigh of relief. The bleeding thing's gone. So there we go. I think they were saying, Eric, though, that it's gone around the backside of the sun. Isn't that what they've been saying? Yes. And it should have come out, and it hasn't.
[00:37:23] Unknown:
So oh, should it? You've completely lost me now Atlas. I mean, what what what's what's oh, God. So it doesn't look
[00:37:29] Unknown:
like Alright. So what Eric's referring to is that there is an object that they've been tracking posts on it on Twitter and place it all x and this, that, and the other. And they're trying to ascertain whether it's got whether it's under its own direction or whether it's actually conforming to the standard logic of an object flying through the universe. And there's some dispute about this. And it's supposed to be emitting some kind of a signal which they can't work out because it's not like, supposedly, not like a signal that's emitted by any other solid bodied or gaseous object floating through the universe.
That's a question. And so there's all this all this talk already. It's alright. But is it? Yeah. No. No. No. It's fine. That's why we that's why you're here. And, Exactly. I know that Cliff High I don't know if you've are you familiar with Cliff High? Yeah. I'm familiar with yeah. I'm familiar with Cliff. He's intriguing. I quite like some of Cliff's stuff. I don't go along with all of it. But he writes about it with such passion and conviction and it's very compelling and his study of all these statistics and stuff. Anyway, I I mean, I don't want to put words in his mouth. I get the idea that he thinks that there is something big about to happen. But even if it doesn't, first of all, I've got to tell you I'd like it to. I think a lot of people would. I've seen a lot of posts saying, it's so boring down here. There's nothing going on. This would be cool. And I'm going, that's the sort of comment I would make. Yeah. Go on. Then rock up. Tell us what's been going on because, you know, everybody else we've got down here is clueless, and they're just lying to us all the time.
What's the whole courthouse? Alien abduction, isn't it? I mean, it's like, you know, all the aliens are coming. So, oh, thank god for that. You know, take us to your leaders. No. We're gonna spare you the details. Just just get rid of the leaders, and we'll we'll accept whatever you replace them with because they couldn't get much worse at this point. You know? Please please send down the ships. You know? Yeah. I mean, what happens though if they rock up and they're just like the people that are in charge down here? They just start to bullshit us all the time. Would we even know? Yes. It's a bit like, look, I understand that you're really clever and you've flown all across the universe and everything, but really are you on the how do we work out whether you're actually talking through your backside or telling us straight? I suppose Tell them about a sorry.
[00:39:39] Unknown:
They might, sorry I didn't mean to charm in there but they might say something very boring. They might sort of get out of their spaceship and say, greetings, I've been travelling 20,000,000 light years. I think you know what's coming up. Could I use your toilet, please? You know, it could be something like that. You know?
[00:39:56] Unknown:
They could. I mean, they could After they're intelligent, they'd probably come here and think, god, I'm leaving it. Don't forget that. We're just gonna skip this one and go, well, there's a bit of intelligent life, you know? It's a bit Yeah. Oh, I think I think, you might I mean, they might be intelligent and articulate, but they could be like this, couldn't they?
[00:40:15] Unknown:
Yes. And, of course, if they if they were like that, they're gonna get on really well with Keir Starmer because he does Oh, you beat me to it. I was gonna say that's Keir Starmer. Oh, the old clips are the best. Yeah. So maybe they've come to have a chat with Keir. I don't know. And we just want to get it all sorted out. Everything could be sorted out and made neat and tidy. Yeah. Brilliant. Absolutely fantastic. Yeah. I hope it's real. I want it to be real. I know, Eric, you're cynical about it, and you're right to be. And I can put my cynical hat on as well. Sometimes I put my gormless, naive, blue eyed idiot hat on just to see what it's like and go, oh, this is gonna be great. And it's quite fun to play that role, you know, because I don't know one way or another, really. I hope it I hope it's real as well. But, I mean, have you ever seen that film? It came out, I think, in the eighties or nineties with Jimmy now called Morons from Outer Space.
[00:41:10] Unknown:
And it was a send up of Close Encounters, and it was absolutely hysterical, done on a budget. And it was about Yeah. About, some people there was a there was a planet called Plop that's the opposite side the sun, which is absolutely identical to Earth. And these morons got in a painted spaceship? They're real thick as anything. A lad in here. It's it's absolutely you're off your seat with laughter. It really is a good film. You never hear of it now. It might be free on YouTube. I don't know. It's old enough. But I don't think anything's free on YouTube, is it? There's always a price to pay on YouTube. I said, no. But maybe
[00:41:48] Unknown:
it's too close to the truth, Eric, which is why we don't hear about it right now. Maybe it's actually one of those programming films that's actually sort of predicted programming. You say this is really what it's gonna be like. I mean, it'd be just underwhelming when it comes out. Oh, we don't there we go here. We found this rocket on another planet. We just came here. Hello.
[00:42:06] Unknown:
Well, there's a marvelous scene. Now what do we do? Yeah. Which Nathan, I think you were to hone in on it. It's it's it's classic. And it's supposed to be comedy, but it's really serious in a way. Because this tart that comes from the planet Plop, she's being taken then by a limousine towards, a, television studio to because they wanna interview his alien. But they they they look exactly like us. And, she's putting some lipstick on on this car. It goes over a bump. And she actually goes, oh, and it goes up the side of her cheek, you see, this lipstick. And so she goes on television with this sort of line up her cheek. And from there on, well, all the women that go up and meet her, have all got they all put lipstick on with a line going up the cheek going, oh, look. Look. Hello. You know, it always sort of showing off this line going up the cheek. And that just goes to show the people's mentality,
[00:42:54] Unknown:
you know. Okay. But you know what I think though? I think I think the nudge unit's probably behind that. Just to see how many people I can get wearing lipstick up the cheek.
[00:43:02] Unknown:
It probably is. It was. Yeah. I mean What is a nudge unit? What I know I know it is, but I'm inviting you. One of either yeah. Well What's what's a nudge unit? Let's talk about nudging.
[00:43:13] Unknown:
Nudging is
[00:43:14] Unknown:
would would you wanna go first, Nathan or me? I don't Well, I don't well, you've already started. I mean, I've I've written about the nudge unit in the book. So, I mean, we can You got you got you your heart's content. So it's,
[00:43:24] Unknown:
you know, a certain a certain magazine, which I'm not going to mention the name of, what they do, if you're trying to introduce an agenda, you make that agenda look normal whilst amusing people or going or or or, attracting the people, being like a pied piper. So you attract them with things they want to hear, like comedy and things like that, and then you gradually nudge in the agenda that they so for example, suppose they wanted to, nudge in boat people, to accept boat people, you would have a boat person telling a joke in part of this comedy that they'll do so that you accept that these people coming over by boat. Oh, that's but they're perfectly okay. Little things like that. That's nudge. You see? Mhmm. So, over to you, Nathan.
[00:44:12] Unknown:
Well, I'm just gonna go in for the for the for the main, like, theme of what it is, which is social engineering, isn't it? But it's a subtle form of social engineering that's that's almost below threshold so that it becomes more effective. You You know, if you if you try and if you try and openly tell somebody what to do, you're gonna have an open rebellion. The people say, nope. We're not doing that. I don't wanna do that because somebody's telling me. But if you if you do it discreetly, if you do it subliminally and and, you know, it's very, very effective. So that's effectively what they're doing is is they they are engineering society in a certain direction by by little tweaks every every, you know, bit down the line. It's it's it's like you're saying that they use multiple media forms and it they're very clever at it,
[00:44:55] Unknown:
I think They are. It's like soft kill. Well Yeah.
[00:44:58] Unknown:
Doors, those little swing doors as you walk into a supermarket. Now why they're there, I don't know. Because you used to have an open concourse. You could just walk in and walk out with ease. But now they've got these swing doors to get people so it registers in your subconscious. You go through this little swing door, which automatically opens when you get there. So when they introduce this digital ID, which I hope they don't, you'll have to put your digital ID on this little scanner, and the door will open for you to let you in. And if you don't Oh, well, that'll be nice. That'll make life easier, won't it? We like safety.
[00:45:31] Unknown:
You you could see them And I want to be safe, and I want more convenience. So that sounds good.
[00:45:37] Unknown:
Yeah. But you you could see them bringing this in five years ago when the when they started with the barriers, and you have to use your receipt to get in and out. And people like yourself and and me and people in the chat well, you know, I'm not being funny, but this was kind of obvious. You could see where this was going. You know? Anyone who was surprised by the whole digital ID thing, have you been living under a rock? I mean, they want microchips into you. How do you think they're gonna get to the microchip stage without going through through this little bit where they're gonna get your digital ID? And then it'll be on your phone, then it'll be on your wrist, then it'll be in your wrist, and then you'll be a slave to the system. Isn't that wonderful? But so but I mean, to be fair, it is it is overtly obvious to anyone paying attention. And, you know, when when it you know, the whole, are are we allowed to say that word now, that naughty virus, when they brought the pass out for that when you had to, and then Devox. The pulse. You mean measles? Yes. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Measles. That's the one. Yeah. But Yeah. You know, when as soon as they were doing that, it's like, well, we know where this is going. This is entrainment. This is trying to get people to accept it subconsciously so that when they do bring it, it'll be like, oh, well, it was easy, and it's probably for our benefit because, you know, why wouldn't it be for our benefit if it's coming from, our benevolent overlords, or something like that?
So I don't know. So You know?
[00:46:54] Unknown:
Sorry. No. No. Go ahead. Please. No. I was just gonna hop back to what Eric was saying about doors and this conditioning on doors. Do you think that you know those great buildings that were built in the early part of the nineteen hundreds that had rotating doors? Do you think that that was basically trying to send out a message to people that your life is about going around in circles? Maybe the people at the time Yes. Would have thought. Although they didn't have the Internet then to actually work that one up. Half of the condition, you know, we actually provide it back to ourselves, don't we? In the sense that, when you're sort of resisting or analyzing all the stuff that you're doing, you're actually we're continually amplifying their message. This is why to some degree we're not actually really resisting it. Not that I'm into resistance because I you know, it's the judo thing. Whatever you resist kinda persists.
Yeah. But but we we do. We actually participate to some degree in really digging up all this detailed knowledge about what they're doing to us and it almost like makes it more real. That's part of I think that's part of the psychological Yeah. Processes that they've worked out that we do. We're right to respond to it. We're right to look at it. But but when we get excessive about it, I mean, I suppose that's like when you get nerdy about it, you know, which is this this obsession with minute details about certain things. It it it tends to act to reinforce the programming. Oh, I'm really against that. What are you against? All this and then someone will tell you everything about something. You go, okay. Fine. But maybe we should go off and build something else, you know, which is a which is a much bigger sort of challenge, I think.
And on the nudging thing as well yeah. Just going back to the on the nudging stuff, The one that leaps out at me the most in terms of, or the one that I that I respond to more and see more often because I'm looking for it, is the placement of people outside of our race in advertising. This is I think I got some statistics through the other day that these people are still in the minority, but, when these aliens from Atlas arrive, and look, they may well. It could be absolutely an amazing thing if they do. Amazing is probably not the word that people are gonna use, But, they would get the impression that everything's sort of fifty fifty around here. It isn't.
But the conditioning is to actually create that impression in everybody's head so that people are just used to this, which is, of course, part of the convenience conditioning program. Of course, by me voicing that, I've now just gone on some other particular lists somewhere or whatever.
[00:49:18] Unknown:
But, I'm not the only on a surf here with those. I mean, let's be honest. We're we're already on the list. They know we are. They know we are just by by by observing us on CCTV and what we say on social media. Not that I use social media, but, you know, they've they've got us they've they've they know who we are. They know where we are, which which then which is why I keep saying to people, so you can't hide anymore. So why don't you just do the right thing? You know, figure it out and do the right thing. It's it really is that simple. Yeah. It is. It's unfortunately, it's it's it's one of those things where it seems now as if because we've got convenience, because we've got comfort, because it's, you know, okay. Some people love their their smartphone, their their devices, their tech, their their Lexus and stuff like this. To them, some people love it. I know some of these people, you know, and and they're so called awake, and they're bringing it in. They're they're they're actually, pushing that particular agenda, and it's like, well, at some point, it's gonna become real uncomfortable, and you're going to have to part with some of this or at least get vocal about it, get some conviction. You know?
[00:50:24] Unknown:
I I've had, since, your show a couple of weeks back, Eric, when you had Mark on The Bowler Headed Farmer, which was Oh, yes. A really a really good show. I think I mentioned that I've been, on my walkabouts talking to people, and I talked to quite a few on, was it yesterday or Tuesday? It was a fine day. I went out for a quick jaunt. And within about 200 yards, I spoke to three neighbors because they just happened to be, within target range and I saw them. And it is, just talking about the idea of trying to build something here. Listen, I'm not even sure whether it's really gonna work. I'm just out there doing sort of sussing out people and where their emotional or critical level is at. Not with a a view to judgment, just to try and find out what you've got to work with, just like they're trying to suss out, you know, who am I and why am I speaking to them. And the re the responses are good. There's a guy actually nearby, is fantastic with his he's a mechanic, and he's basically rebuilding or has rebuilt an AC Cobra. It's absolutely magnificent, this vehicle that he's put together. Right? I mean, it's just brilliant.
It's, metallic blue. The only thing I don't like about it, which I haven't got the heart to tell him, is the wheels that he's chosen for it. They're far too ornate. They're not right. They need to be simple. But I I don't have his confidence enough to be critical of his work cause the rest of it is just absolutely awesome. And he had it was a sunny day and it was out there, he had the bonnet up and he's got the engine ticking over and it's just his pride and joy and I'm just I love it. It's a contribution you know, you just walk past someone doing things like that and you just think this is cool and it is. I I just, so I said hi because we've been saying hi to one another for three or four years really. And, I I said, do you mind if I have a word? And he said, you know, I didn't say it so formally, but I said, listen, I just wanna run an idea by you. And I said, look. I said, I don't know what you think about the country, but I said, you know and I mentioned I just used the word politics. I wasn't I didn't want to talk to him about politics. I really wanna talk to him. But it was interesting his response because I could see a slight ripple of anxiety run across his face.
Anyway, that's a really touchy thing. I mean he was concerned straight off. I said, oh good, I'm glad you're aware of that. Yes it is. I said I said I don't mind what your politics are. I said you're quite safe with me. I've never voted for a party in my life and I'm not going to. But we had a good little chat. It was the people's responses are very they're interesting. I spoke to another, person who thought it was just a good idea but I could tell from the way that they were talking that that was it. This was just, oh that'll be a nice thing to do. That's all it was. It wasn't it didn't sort of lean into other parts of a conversation which were, yeah we ought to be doing something to sort of look after one another, which is really what I think is what is what I feel stronger that we have to do. I'm trying to find a way of doing it. And then and then I talked to another guy I've known for a long time. He was great. He's just shooting off to Australia for a holiday for three months. I said, well, you've picked a good time. He said, my daughter's down there and it's their summer and he's going down to Perth or somewhere like that. But he was kind of on for it. It was good. He was quite lively. He's probably a little bit older than me, but very practical sort of guy out there looking after his house every day painting it. It's very well presented. Everybody's house around here is well presented compared to ours, but they forgive me. They don't sort of abuse me verbally. Well, not yet anyway.
And, he was much more sort of he was warmer and into it. But it just got me thinking about the sort of logistics of it. I I was thinking, well, we could have a food drop at this parish hall. And then I'm thinking, yeah, but if all those people come together, you know what it's like, right, when you get people together. And then do people actually want to be disturbed? But the the last guy I spoke to had kind of sussed in on this. He said he said that'd be nice. He said, you know, you look around and everybody's just in their house all day. I said, yeah. He said, and what do they do? He said, they go out, they come back, so they're in a box all day. I think he said something like that, you know, working away at stuff. He said, I quite liked all that because I liked being in with the team most of my life. It was good to sort of go to a place and have office banter or whatever he was doing.
And, he said, but they could just come out and plonk in front of the TV. And as he said that I'm thinking, I'm probably talking to lots of people who are doing just that every night and that there isn't much level of inquiry or curiosity. But the truth is I actually don't know, so I'm being curious to find out how curious everybody is. I think I think that's really what's going on with me at the moment.
[00:54:49] Unknown:
Well, it proves that you're still thinking though, doesn't
[00:54:52] Unknown:
it? So Yeah. It's just to see see if we can get some connective glue, no matter how thin it may be. If there's some form of connective glue, and then I thought, well, people are gonna apparently, there's a WhatsApp group for where I live and I'm not on it, but some of my next door neighbors said, you don't wanna get on that. I said, why? He said, it's just people looking for their cats. They've all lost their cats. Right? I'm going, okay. Well, it's a needed service. If you're a cat lover and you're sad that you've lost your cat, you get these little posters everywhere, you know, Timmykins, dear pet lost four days ago and stuff like this.
And, but it's some kind of a connection. It's whether people you know, then I think about people like us and I think are we maniacs? And I think in in relation to most other people, we are gonna be sort of viewed like that. So my conversations are not heavy at all. They're just sort of like could we do something constructive together? Like, maybe sort out an alt an additional source of food to support the farmers. That one strikes a chord, actually. Everybody I spoke to is aware that the farmers are under the cosh and they think it's wrong. That was that's a really good thing to know. A very, very good thing to know. Just just,
[00:56:03] Unknown:
looking at the comments here, there's a couple of things. And well, one of one of the things I was gonna break up break up, not that, bring up, is what Barefoot Forager E's just said. I wonder if there's a link between phone and TV hours. Right. So I'm I'm gonna say yes to that because you've mentioned there that you're curious about watching people and stuff like that, which which is great. But what what you're seeing now is everybody's glued to their phones. I mean, I know I've I've spoken about this. I mean, it's not it's not isn't a secret these days, is it? Everyone can see it. But Mhmm. If you if you go and, you know, go anywhere, everyone's on their phone. If you go to a restaurant, a coffee shop, pub, supermarket, even in a park, everybody's glued to the phone, whether that's the kids, the adults, the kids sat with the adults.
It's it's it's just a constant stream of people walking around and transpire by by their Black Mirror device. Right? I mean, that's effectively what it is. And so that and I I genuinely think, and again, along with TV, I I think that that was what kind of brought this in. I think, again, it's all entrainment. It's all to get us used to it. Things get smaller and smaller and, you know, the Black Mirror has become more more personalized to you. It's to me, it's it's just overt at this point that that they're hypnotizing us with this, you know, the these devices, they're getting us hooked. Yeah. And it's it's it's stopping people from communicating. It's stopping people from, thinking, being aware of the outside world, being aware of each other. It's it's actively you know, when we talk about gender 02/1930, it's pushing that agenda but but it's not so much that they're pushing it. We are we are
[00:57:39] Unknown:
promulgating it further. We we are pushing it on their behalf. Yes. We're being smothered by it gently nudged into it. You're absolutely right. It's it this guy that I was speaking to noticed that. I said what do you think about the I said, you go out for a walk? He said, every now and again. I said, what do you think about the, you know, the energy and exuberance of the people around you? I I was being intentionally sarcastic. He said he said, they're funny, aren't they? I said, yeah. He said, it's just not like it used to be. I said, well, everywhere we look, the congregation spaces I was thinking just, you know, even from this food drop thing, if that's what I end up doing, it might be something else.
It might be just too much trouble or whatever. I thought, if we do it, say, once a fortnight, then people know that they rock up at this place and it's open for a couple of hours to pick up their order or whatever we do, and they might talk to one another. They might actually Yeah. Talk to one and it does I don't care what it is. They can talk about bloody football if they want to. It doesn't matter. It's the mere fact that you're getting together and doing it, you know?
[00:58:40] Unknown:
Oh, how long? I've just just as a curiosity thing here. Right? So let's let's say if we did break away from our phones. Right? And Mhmm. And and, you know, how how long do you think it would take for society to go back into that communicative space where they where they can, you know, be social again, where where they can inquire about things, where they can be curious, where they, you know, where they can talk about things that doesn't require, propaganda media telling them what to think or or, you know, what what today's subject is? How how long do you think it would take to undo the programming,
[00:59:14] Unknown:
you know, from from smart devices and things like that? It's a good question. Maybe we need to run a a lottery or a book on it and take bets on it. I think it would be a long time. I mean, if you think about people even prior to smartphones, right, although people congregated more and spoke more, they they weren't really ever talking about these things. Now one of the reasons they weren't talking about them is that the huge the vast majority of people have sort of come into this space courtesy of the measles
[00:59:41] Unknown:
epidemic. I don't mind saying COVID. Do you get banned if you say it or something? I don't I don't know. I think it depends on the context, doesn't it? If you if you say, certain stabby things, even yeah. I think I think it changes the, context of it. It's ridiculous. It's absolutely But it's stabby things, isn't it? I mean, you could go It is. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
[01:00:06] Unknown:
No. No It does. But they weren't I mean, they'd not been exposed to these things, but most people, I suppose, throughout their life would have never sort of pursued a line of inquiry into the things that they don't know. I don't know if I was mentioning we've got a song coming up in a few minutes. I've got to play a song because we're at the end of the first hour. But I was just thinking Oh, I need another coffee. Did I yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You make a coffee and all that kind of stuff. Fantastic. Did I mention that I I was talking to some people from the Reform party the other day? Well, not not not that I'm aware of anyway. That's that's a good one. So look, we'll hang it there because we're just coming up to the end of the first hour. No problem. I'll talk talk about reform afterwards, all these people that I met, which I was much more interested in. Anyway, you're listening to Paul English Live here on WBN three two four. We're halfway through the show with our WBN slot because we roll on for days and days on other formats. But, I want you to imagine that Eric is the nineteen sixties.
Eric's smartly dressed and he's just going down to the pub and he needs some music. We need some music to create a dramatic backdrop to this. And there's all these. This is it. Alright. So it it sounds something like this. We'll be back after this. Lay off those bloody bongos.
[01:03:37] Unknown:
Yes. Eric, you know that thing tune? Yes. From the Avengers, one of my favorite programs, and I used to fancy Diana Rigg because she had nice big teeth teeth. That's yes. That's what it was. Yes.
[01:03:50] Unknown:
And, I'm glad you took it in that direction.
[01:03:53] Unknown:
I'm so glad.
[01:03:55] Unknown:
She didn't. Actually, she didn't. She wasn't voluptuous, But she was, I just realized the other day so, yes. Actually, somebody did guess it. Who guessed it? Alice Gore just got it. So I've just she got 10 points and she gets a free fucking hall pencil except we don't know where you live. And it's not your real name so it's almost impossible to give you the gift so you'll have to have a sort of metaphorical pencil something like that. But, yeah. So Diana Rigg played, Emma Peel, right? That was her name. You remember? That's right. Yes. Emma Peel. And I was thinking about this the other day. I don't know if this is true, but obviously it's it's Emma Peel, as in man appeal, appealing to men. Do you think that they did that?
[01:04:39] Unknown:
In a way? I think they probably did. Yes. Because what was her name now? Missus, oh, in the it's Emma Peel, but, her name in the show was missus Emma Peel.
[01:04:52] Unknown:
It was Emma Peel. No. I'm sorry. Diana Rigg played Emma Peel. Yeah. She played Emma Peel.
[01:04:58] Unknown:
Yeah. But there, but there was another name they gave her. Missus something rather. Because she was married, wasn't she? Yeah. No. She was she was actually yeah. Missus Peel because that was it. Because that's right. Because she was married and her husband had got lost or something, and and she was married. And there's a scene where, what's his name? Oh, look at was looking out the window, and it seemed a little bit sad that, she is reunited with her husband. And, then the next one came in who I didn't really like, that Canadian woman. I don't think she was there's something about her, but I prefer I think Diana Rigg was the best, missus Peel. Yeah.
[01:05:41] Unknown:
I think she's I think, actually, she it's one of the, just it was my favorite TV show as a kid. Same here. Same here. It was just my fave I think those opening credits as well, which is what we took that theme, if you go on what they're just the most fantastic opening credits to a a TV series. They're pouncing around, shooting one another, popping champagne corks. It's full of all that. Yeah? And drinking champagne out of those champagne glasses. Oh. My dad used to dance to this and never spilt a drop. Good on him. Fantastic. Somebody else wrote sounds like a gay James Bond theme. No. It doesn't. We don't do that sort of thing. But I Well, Stede To be fair, it kinda does a little bit. Let's be honest. Little tiny bit. Yeah. But Stede young lad at the time. I want to be sure what you meant. I was just enchanted. You ruined him all my memories. Stop it, the lot of you.
[01:06:32] Unknown:
Do you remember when Stede, he he was always debonair, but he said he never ever had a gun. He always used different weapons because he was against it because, he didn't like using weapons. So you notice he always used his bowler hat or a walking stick that turned into a, a sword or something like that, but he never used a gun in that. In any of his shoes. His brolly, didn't he? He used his brolly quite a bit. And he also used,
[01:06:58] Unknown:
he was dressed very well. He definitely was a sharp dressed man, dressed immaculately. I think he used, polite language, devastating weapon, incredibly polite and charming all the time, wasn't he? When he when he's talking to the villains as they're holding a gun on his pooch or so. I mean, the whole thing, of course, he's mad. By the way, one of the writers for that is a guy called Brian I suppose he must have passed off passed away by now. Brian Clemens. Yeah? I don't know if you it was by Albert Fennell. They were the screenwriters for most of them and Brian Clemens. Interesting nerdy fact about Brian Clemens.
I think he was the great great grandson of Samuel Longhorn Clemens, better known as another 10 points in Vaca Muir pencil. Anybody here? Takers? No. Samuel Longhorn Clemens is more popularly known as Mark Twain.
[01:07:48] Unknown:
Oh. I remember.
[01:07:49] Unknown:
And Yeah. The most of it was filmed around near where I live.
[01:07:54] Unknown:
Was it really? It was filmed
[01:07:55] Unknown:
in half a shit. No. It's fit yes. Right. Fuck them. And to the Bentley, do you remember you always drove an old Bentley, didn't he? A nineteen thirties Bentley.
[01:08:03] Unknown:
He did in the early episodes. Yeah. They he did. Yeah. He did. He drove that Bentley. And, I just think I think Diana Riggs' performance is just amazing and she's the most fantastically feminine woman. I mean she became a figure didn't she for the Yeah. Sort of feminists and everything which I think she rejected. I wasn't particularly interested in. But just everything she's so charming you think oh yeah. Yeah. That's really just she was ridiculously charming. She they gave her some great lines. They paid her peanuts, you know, that's why she left. She got paid nothing. That's right. And then she got offered that role in the Bond film, with, Lazenby.
And that's why she left the series. Broke broke Patrick McNeese heart, he said in an interview. He said it was awful. When he found out that because he yeah.
[01:08:51] Unknown:
And the the the other one was, who was before Diana Rigg? He was on a black man, wasn't it?
[01:08:58] Unknown:
Yeah. In the black and white version. And before that, there was another version. Go. We're really going nerdy now, which was it before me. There's '25. Well, it wasn't. I was around, but I wasn't watching TV when I was zero or one or something like that. They had the first version was really heavy. It had Ian McShane in it and it was, not Ian McShane. It's some other guy who went on to be no. It's not. Ian McShane. I've got that wrong. He's too young for that. There was another guy. He was very heavy. Yeah. It was like a cop thing, the Avengers. And they worked with the cops. But it it morphed into this real sort of swinging sixties slightly surreal thing. Yes. One of the things I used to love about it is that they have these huge sets and there'd be nobody on them. It had this sort of eerie empty thing, but the dialogue and the crazy plots really made it work. Yeah. Do you remember Mother? That guy that used to be Oh, yeah.
[01:09:44] Unknown:
The boat he he was a bit of a natter.
[01:09:46] Unknown:
He he he was always in weird position places, wasn't he? Sort of in the middle of a swimming pool or a boat or something or something. Yeah. Pick up a phone and answer it in the middle of nowhere. It was just wonderfully weird as a kid. I just thought this is wacky and brilliant and very playful. Incredibly creative and playful and not, and just joyous really. You know, the plots were kind of secondary. It was just all the quality of the actors. Anyway, enough of this TV nostalgia unless you want to carry on for another. Well, no. What I was gonna say is No. No. No. No. No. No. They you you read Purdy. My time with this stuff. Would you remember Purdy? Because,
[01:10:21] Unknown:
because Stede, he admitted, that he, he said he shouldn't have been in the second series. He said second series was fine to go ahead, but he shouldn't have been in it. He started realizing, he said I shouldn't I shouldn't he should have just been Jonah Lumley and the other geezer. I can't remember what what his name was now. But Gareth Hunt. And him as well. Yeah. Isn't it? I think there. Why am I remembering this? This is tragic. It's this is the mad crap that's in my head. I don't know how it even got in there. I remember the which wasn't a problem. I I didn't like the second one. I I like the first series. But do you remember the, copy of the Avengers, which was a complete failure that was department s with Peter Wingard, who was later found in a public he was found in a public lavatory doing something doing a Tony Blair.
[01:11:10] Unknown:
He was the fop of fops, wasn't he? He's just that's ridiculous. Well, actually, and let's end on this because Nathan's completely excluded because he's very very young. Yeah. The the infamous episode of The Avengers, that they wouldn't air, they never aired it, is where Jason Wyngarde is what's it called? The Hellfire Club.
[01:11:36] Unknown:
So it's Oh, the one who Jonna Rake in Leathers.
[01:11:39] Unknown:
I've seen that's on YouTube. She's actually in leather, isn't she? I thought you might not forget that. Yeah. Yes. And he and he whips her. Yeah. And they said this is too kinky even for ITV in the nineteen sixties. So they they didn't show it. But enough of this tish tosh about, about TV themes. See, we only have to play one theme. We go off on a big old man's sort of well, I remember when I was a boy and all that kind of stuff. But, yeah. They were I I think they were a bit more special really, TV shows back in the sixties. They were a bit Oh, really? They were definitely more upbeat and playful and fun. They really were a lot a lot of fun but then they had better writers back then anyway. Now before we just went off into memory lane like old Duffers often do or are doing more often, I was mentioning wasn't I just before that that I think it must have been this Saturday if I've not spoken to you about it.
My son sort of had been out in the morning, he came back he said, hey dad there's some reform people up on the street chatting with people. I thought, well I've got to go and buy some coffee. And I thought, I could do with the chat. So I went up to see them and they were good. Obviously, I must have been their last customer of the day because they were taking the tent down when I arrived. As soon as I got there, they went, oh, we better start taking the tent down. But no, I ended up speaking to them about fifteen, twenty minutes. They were kind of keen to know whether I would vote for them. I said no. They said no. I said well, I don't do that.
And, I said don't worry. I said I don't vote for anybody else either. But they were good. They were just good English people. And as it was going on I'm thinking this is actually interesting in a in another way. Interesting is possibly not the right word but it's captivating. Why? Here we are a year and a half into this disaster. Actually we're much longer into that but the current version of the disaster, this Labour version of it. And you've got people out on the streets talking to the public about correcting the whole problem. I can't remember when that sort of happened. I mean, maybe I'm goofy because I don't go out. Maybe political parties do this all the time. But these were just decent sort of housewives and business owners. They were all good blokes and good women. There were probably more men than women there I think. About four or five women, about 15 blokes, all part of this reform party here locally. Had a great chat with them. And when I started talking about the food thing, they they got really interested. They said that's good. I said well it's not a rocket science idea, people have done that sort of because what they were saying to me was they said look we know the nation's obviously got a problem as a whole, but we're really concerned about what's happening locally. I said, now I'm interested in that.
That I'm interested in. So they said and I started talking about banking Eric because she got to. Right? I got to. Excellent. You know, because they they asked me and I said, well, look, I said, Nigel Farage, I said, I'm not trying to be hypocritical, I said, but I won't mind a beer with him but seriously, if you get him in he won't be able to do anything. I said, I know you think this is an awful thing for me to say but he's not in charge. I said, do you know that he just had his first meeting with the Bank of England about three weeks ago? They said, no. I said, oh, you don't know about that? I said, no. I said, that's where they're actually lining him up to do it. I said, I don't think you've got any concerns. He's their man. He's already been earmarked to move in because they've created him as the populist and this is what they want. I said but it's I said it will be an absolute miracle if he could do things that you really want him to do without getting killed.
And they looked at me and they said and then one of the women, this was really interesting, she said, I just mentioned a bit about the bank. I said look you you know I do my usual thing. You went to school, yeah, you don't know anything about banking? No. I said don't you think that's a bit weird? Really? Seriously? I mean look all these people, they don't have a clue where all the money works at all. I didn't go into a big sort of detailed thing of it, but I went into enough to get their curiosity. And then a woman said to me, she said you know I've just been reading about the Fabian Society. I said you have? I said what have you read? She said well I don't know much about it, she said but it's extremely worrying. I said oh, I said I think I'd be able to worry you to death actually if we really get into it. I said when did you start looking at that? She said about four or five months ago. She said I wasn't aware of all this other stuff. I said it's fantastic that you now are. Brilliant. Really, I mean when did a woman or anybody say I now know about the Fabian Society?
I said you know that they're all in it. She said well I'm discovering this, she said, but it's very concerning. I said I'm glad you're very concerned that's absolutely the appropriate response, you know. And they said could you help us? I said well I don't know. She said well we have meetings, we have some really lively chats, you'd be more than welcome, we'd love to hear what you've got to say. I said count me in. So I'm gonna I'm probably gonna sign up just so that I can go along and listen. I want to hear it's like you know, I'm curious to know what these people are actually saying and also to see how fast it takes when the shutters come down when you start talking about banking. It's pretty quick but it's not as quick as it used to be.
So that's I any place to do a bit of on the street market research is a good thing, I think.
[01:16:31] Unknown:
That's excellent. But if you say usury, they look at you as if it's a new washing powder. Usury? What's that? Nobody knows on the street what usury is, and that is what's ruling our life. Usury is the biggest So we have a we have a communications challenge don't we? We have to find a way of delivering
[01:16:47] Unknown:
these extremely serious topics and actually it's the serious implications of them to a neophy audience. You know? I mean I view it as a sort of protective shield for me. The more people that know these things and at least begin to gently we want to nudge them in this direction. You know if we're going to use nudging how do I how do I nudge them in this direction, Sam? Well, take take a copy of Nathan's book, Fake Away along, and say Yep. And, actually, I was wondering, would it be possible to make a pamphlet
[01:17:21] Unknown:
to promote Faker Wake, which are a lot cheaper, and you can give them out to people to to to, you know, to sort of get their mouth watering a little bit, you know, a little bit of a temptation there. Just a thought. Mhmm. What what do you what do you think, Nathan?
[01:17:34] Unknown:
Oh, hi.
[01:17:37] Unknown:
How was your coffee, by the way? Did you have a good coffee?
[01:17:40] Unknown:
Well, to be fair, it is a bit late for coffee because I'll I'll be jittering if I if I drink that. So I, I went You're all revved up with nowhere to go. Yeah. I know. So I went for some juice instead. Well, I've gone boring in my old age. Well, you're right. So so what sorry. What was the question, Chris? Because I'm I'm thinking about what you were speaking about there about about the whole, reform thing and and joining it. It's it's to me, that's just a way to get you involved. You're never really gonna see any of the machinations but, you know,
[01:18:09] Unknown:
what's happening behind the curtain at at local Completely agree with you. I know exactly what you're gonna say. Nobody sucks me into anything. Honestly. I'm just I go in. I I adopt a different act. And and I'd say this to everybody, you have to act and behave differently depending on who's in front of you. This is not underhand. It's completely appropriate. It's about creating empathy to start off with. You've got to find some common ground where you've got overlap and that's the place to start off with. Otherwise, you just get rejected by anybody. You need to cut up to a stranger and say, by the way, have you got ten minutes? I wanna really pin your ears back about central banking systems. And they look at you, they think you're mad. So it's a matter of easing in. I'm just interested to know where people are at. That's why I'm speaking. It's just a habit I've had most of my life.
I'd I'd like to know where people's thinking's at because I'm gonna say stupid things to them otherwise. What why you know, you don't get in the do you wanna learn about, you know, Chinese history? Not really. What are you talking about? Gotta say things that are appropriate. I mean I'm picking a ridiculous example there. But these were good people, that's what I got. I thought this is these are just genuine normal English people, you know, who are obviously we're moving towards the minority with that but they're there and they're concerned and they were willing to put a tent up and talk. I know they think reform is gonna solve all their problems. Okay. That's fine. I ain't gonna change that view in a five minute conversation with them. But to go and find out a little bit I mean, if if their meetings are tedious beyond belief and I see that there's so many sort of communication blockers in the room and there are many of those, you get them all the time, then you just go this is not this my timing with with these people is not now. It might never be ever but it's certainly not now. I'll go away and come back in six months and see if they've moved on a bit, You know? Whether we've got that amount of time or not, I don't know. I'm I'm just I'm I'm of the opinion. Again, I see what you're trying to do there. I'm just of the opinion that anything political is a waste of time because the the political system in and of itself
[01:19:59] Unknown:
is part of the problem. That's right. So I I talk about psyops a lot and the three main psyops throughout history are are pretty pretty mundane if you come if you if you think about it like this. The first one is religion. So I would say it's probably the biggest. Second one is politics and the third one is money. And if you combine all three of those together well you've got modern modern day society. So it's it's kind of it's it's what like what you were saying earlier. If you're buying into the narrative and if you're if you're speaking about it, you you you're promoting it at the same time. I'm not I'm not saying don't do what you're doing. It's just to me, it's I I just think barking up the wrong trees, you know, especially with
[01:20:41] Unknown:
I know what you're saying. If you if you think about a marketing company or an advertising company, right, which is the way I think, right, who sells messages better than anybody else? Advertising companies. I kinda worked in it. I've worked in marketing. I'm not an expert. It's a long time. It's thirty odd years since I was involved in all that. But you have these little lists like who, why, what, where, and when. Who am I talking to? What am I selling them? Why should they buy it? Where are they? When when do they make us? All the all the w's they're really useful. And I use them as a little guide. I'm I'm trying to find out if there's a route to nudge these people. I don't view them as members of reform. That's not the way I viewed them. I know that they are and they want to push that. And you know they said are you gonna vote for us? And I said no. And they were disappointed why not? So I said well because voting doesn't make any difference. I said but I'm interested in your passion to fix things locally and we we met on that ground and it was good it's a very polite good conversation. I don't want to go in there and sort of create a fraction or friction with them, it's just market research. You don't go off and sort of sell stuff not knowing who your target market is. Now I don't know how people are operating. The mere fact that they could be bothered to get off their arses and go and stand in the street, right, championing what they think is good. I understand why they think that, right, the fact that we know that they're mistaken in that is not particularly useful to introduce, in my view, in the first five or ten minutes of meeting someone. You don't want to be making them wrong even if they are incorrect from our perspective in what they're doing. I completely agree with you.
But how do you get these difficult messages across? I mean this is nothing new under the sun. You mentioned religion, this has been going on for thousands of years. How do you bring people around to a certain view? And how do you stop your message getting corrupted? Which is the biggie because it always gets corrupted. There's always interjects coming in again. Yeah. Go on.
[01:22:31] Unknown:
Nudge them. That's just may maybe we need our own version of the nudge unit. Right? So so we need to nudge it in in a different direction because it's like right. Okay. Go go back to the beginning of of, well, I'm just gonna say five years ago. And everyone that was aware of what was going on were were including myself, who were like, right. We've gotta we've gotta wait people up. We've gotta tell them this. We've gotta tell them what's going on. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Do you know what the most effective way of doing it was? Dropping little seeds in places and letting them figure out for themselves, and then they'll come back to you, and then they start explaining things back to you. And I think I think that's the way we're supposed to nudge it. You know? We use our own techniques. We we we figure out how they do it and invert it like they do it, but we're inverting it back the right way. And it can be done. We we know it can be done because they do it. And they're nothing special. The only the only thing special about them is they they've been doing this for a long time. They they've got the, you know, bloodline education or whatever you wanna call it.
They they've been doing this for a very long time. They've perfected it. They've kept it all secret. They've kept it hidden. They've looked at the psychology and philosophy and history, and and they're relentless with it. But they're focused, which is what we like. Right? So so what I'm gonna say is we nudge it back the other direction, which which is what theoretically we're doing here. Drop the seeds and let it just keep watering it. Just keep watering it, and they'll figure out for themselves. You know? But but in terms of you I've got I've got to ask. Right? So you you were talking about speaking to reform.
And the last time I spoke to canvases, they came out with all the usual, you know, agenda based stuff, climate change. And I'm like, well, I'm sorry, but I'm not gonna vote for that because I know it's alive. Right. All of that. Did they right. So were they actively pushing whether they're aware of it consciously or not? Were they actually pushing the agenda? Whether whether they're talking about the same old stuff but from a different perspective? As if as if, oh, well, yeah, but we're gonna do it differently as opposed to, yes, we know it's a lie. Because it because that that's what I've got the problem with.
[01:24:32] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. Well, I think you're right to have a problem with it. I've got a problem other problems not the word I would use. I I'm trying to emotionally disassociate myself from myself. I've got this judgmental me, right, so have you, right, which is based on your discernment and your education that you've given yourself over the last x number of years. So I've got all this stuff in my head. But I'm lucky I I'd mentioned it as well. I completely agree that this is me doing nudge research. Whether it will actually you know sometimes people come to market with a product or this and they think it's absolutely brilliant. And they they go out in their chest and they go no one wants it. They go why? No. You know you've missed this. This is you're missing this. We what you've created is fantastic but the reason why they don't want it is that there's this thing here, yeah, that's a tenth of the price and they're quite happy bumbling around using this thing. You'll get a few sales but we suggest you don't sell your house and put your life savings into this business. And of course many people do do that, they set up shops that's a typical example. They go it's the English thing, if I set up a shop people are going to come in and buy my stuff and you see the high street now littered with people with shops that just are up for eighteen months, they burn through their entire bank loan and they're stuffed.
It's that kind of stuff. And you're right, they'd the other side have got all the research and the analysis about how we operate and but we can't attack them, if that's the right word, directly. We we just can't. I think, you know, for in terms of I've got all of us, you wake up in the morning, you've got a day to use, and I'm thinking, right, did I use yesterday as effectively as effectively as I could? And the answer is always no. It's always no. Right? It's never it's never yeah. That was an absolute banging day. I got everything sorted out. But it's just trying to build up that, build up some momentum in terms of connections with people. There are all sorts of hidden brains in every single town.
They they exist. There are people like us all hanging around all over the place, probably a little bit lacking in courage to speak out in little groups. And I go there as well to train myself in that, to speak to complete strangers in a little group and see if I can engage them and and analyze where I'm failing, right? It's down to me, it's not their fault, it's it's my responsibility to try and fix it. That's at least that's my mantra back to myself. I'm not trying to sort of say I'm the big I am and be cocky about it. I fail loads in these communications. People just shut down. I go, okay. Well, that didn't really work. Yeah. I'm trying to figure out how to engage people, you know? Yeah. But but I'm with you because I I tried this as well. It's it's almost like
[01:27:03] Unknown:
it it there's a desperation to get the information out there. So so then you're kicking a panic mode, and so that that then promotes you into, like, really hammering away at it, and all you're doing is is turning people off. Unless unless they're genuinely coming to you and asking you the question, you you can't just go in there all guns blazing because they're they're gonna see it as an onslaught, and they're gonna be like, oh, right. It's one of those who are were out of here. You know? We we don't wanna be preached at. And, unfortunately, I think I think we all do that, especially from time to time, especially if it's something that we're passionate about and that we can see is a very clear present fucking, issue that needs resolving. I've just sworn that. I don't know what your policy and swearing is on you. I don't know. I'm embarrassed really. I'd probably just lose the show now, Nathan, but it was it's been night. We've had a good run. Great. And somebody had to blow it out of the water. So it's okay. You'll get a special pencil if it'd be alright. I'll get a special pencil. We should come over all unnecessary. It's it's it's Can I get a fuck them whole effing pencil for being nice? Can I get two so I can stick them both up my nose and pretend to be mad? Like like, you know, the version on Blackadder. And then maybe maybe they can get me off the planet and, send me home or something like that.
[01:28:08] Unknown:
I mean, but not to make too big a point of it. The fact that a woman I'm just really done it now on you. Of the Fabian society. It could have been a bloke. The fact that one of these people, the gender was not actually important or their sex was not important. Yeah. That she mentioned that she was doing that. I thought that was a I just took that as a really good sign because I decided to take it as a good sign. Some people might say that doesn't mean nothing. It does because this woman didn't even know the word Fabian until six months ago and the vast majority of people don't even know it and they're beginning to sniff around and go. And when she said it's really worrying that's the intro to start putting the other stuff in. I mean I said well you know the problem is nobody here really. I said, do you know anything about banking? They went, no. I said, well, I said, I'm not blaming you. It's completely understandable that, you know, because you went to school and you've not been taught anything, have you? They went, no. I said, okay. I said, everybody else is like this.
I said but you found out about the Fabian Society which is a fantastic start. The fact in other words what she was saying to me forget that it's Fabian, she's got initiative to find out. That's what we're looking for in people. It's to put that question mark in people's hearts and go you're not asking enough questions and even if the first questions you ask are crap and try and surface because you're too scared to ask the big ones, keep asking the simple ones you'll get onto the meaty ones as you go. Don't be bothered about the answers just get that spirit of questioning things all the time because the universe will give you the answers. If you ask things in the right spirit of genuine concern and I got that these people were genuinely concerned. I found that encouraging for me personally. Even if they're clueless about the details today, possibly if I talk to them all they'll be less clueless in a week's time and in a month even, you know, it's I don't know what else to do really. I mean I wish there was a magic button you go look bang that and everybody's everybody just their brains light up on a Thursday
[01:30:05] Unknown:
evening. They just go, got it. Right. Great. Now what do I do? Well, think think about it from this perspective. So I know I know there's a lot of fear out there, especially in the mainstream media, but if you if you look at fear from a different perspective, you've just mentioned that that you got through to them or that or that the conversation started and that they were concerned over the issue, which is the which is the same reason that I got into this because it was like you look at it and you think, well, something's not right. What's not right? Where do I you know? Oh my god. What they're doing? Oh my god. That's that's a thing as well. And then it leads you into more and more things. And Mhmm. The more you the more you investigate and uncover, the more the more concern, the more fear ramps up. And that then triggers you into finding even more. But at that point, you you're so concerned that you feel an obligation to do something. So so for that reason, I'm gonna say that the fear response to this is actually quite good to start with. Right? So it's it's the fear response that's putting people into a mental state that's saying, right. Something's not right. I need to do something about this, and that's great. That's great for it to to get into this because I think it's the fear that that triggers that that reaction.
The only thing is You're right. Yeah. Yeah. But but then once you've once you've delved into it, once you know who's behind it, what's happening, why it's happening, how it's happening, once you've done that, once you've you've you've gone down that rabbit hole of fear and pain and suffering, you've got to come to a point where the fear is no longer useful. Right? So at the point where you become, I guess, competent in the in in the subjects that that people are delving into, in order to make that productive, in order to find the solutions, you've gotta you've gotta get to the point where it's like, right. I've done the fear. It's led me down to the to to where I need to be. Now what do I do with it? Because if you stay in fear state, it it goes from being a catalyst for change to a catalyst to step you down and make you stand down and do nothing about things because you're so afraid at that point that you think that that that you become disempowered by it. That's not what we need.
We need the opposite. And again, it it's people I I say to people, we've got to learn from the bad guys. Right? And people say, oh, yeah. No. No. Think about what I'm saying there. If they're doing something and it works, right, we need to figure that out. If they've got information that we don't have, we need to figure that out. And then we need to use it to our own advantage. We need to turn the tide to this because otherwise, we're learning nothing. The idea as well as to what you're saying there about, curiosity and people getting, you know, thinking for themselves and being critical and challenging their own beliefs and challenging what other people say. That is the best way to be because it proves that they're thinking. It proves that there's a genuine compassion there, that there's genuine care about the state of affairs and the and the world and nature and human society and all of these things.
And if we don't if we don't deep, like, you know, delve into that corner of our brain that's actually questioning things and and curious about things, it won't make you you know, if you want to know something, that's when you really learn because that's when you're gonna push yourself to find out. If you don't wanna know it, if it's you'll you'll lose interest and turn off.
[01:33:01] Unknown:
Yeah. Well, if we look at your book, Nathan, and the title of it, Fake Awake Yeah. You know, you you there's been this huge glut, and you you please feel free to speak about any aspect of it that you want. Someone said that. By the way, I've put a link in the chat. So there's actually a link in the description for this show on YouTube and Rumble. There's a link over to Nathan's book on Amazon. You should click it. Even now click it and and look at the preview of the Kindle version which I've got on my screen right now because it's got all the chapter headings and it's really useful. You don't get the whole book but you can see the layout, the framework of the book and it's very very useful. You think about these people have come in that are still not asking questions, not the right ones. In other words, you know, one of my observations, now that I've done stand in the park, Eric's, you know, provided all the insight onto that and it's broadly speaking true, It has become like a trend. It's like, oh, well, people used to be hippies in the sixties and now we're standing the park people. This is nice. This is a nice middle class sort of thing to do. Right? And then you say, do you wanna really ask some serious questions and people back off? Yeah. Now, also, when you think about, say, a class or education, you know, that wonderful thing school that we all went to, there are people at different levels of aptitude at different times in their life. You might have started off as a particularly dopey student. I know people when they were sort of five to eight because they were just as boys, you want to climb trees? I'm not listening to you. But sometimes later on in life you get a trigger. Now the problem we have is that that's a lot of time from five to 18, that's thirteen years. Yeah.
We've got like thirteen minutes. So I'm going this is a bit of a communications challenge. It's not that we don't have the truth or parts of the key information, it's knowing how to package it right. And that's what advertising agencies do rather brilliantly. Of course, they are backed up by colossal budgets for this repeated exposure to get the messages and the conditioning across, which is what it's all about. So, you know, I am fully aware that it's a bit like sort of, you know, taking a leak in a rainstorm, what I'm doing. I've got that. You're like a drop of water in the Pacific Ocean. But you go, well, that's the situation that I we happen to find ourselves in. Can we get bigger? I think we can. I I'm absolutely convinced that we can. And little signs like that from this woman tell me that we can. It's just a matter of becoming more effective as individuals when we talk to other people, you know, who are not in the loop as close to the hub as necessarily we are. I know there are people even closer to it. They can tell you everything and all that kind of stuff, But I don't think we need to know it to that level, you know. And I mentioned to this woman, I said, look. I said, the Fabian I said, do you know the history of them? She said, no. I said, well, you know, 1884. I said, that's why Orwell's book is 1984. He used to be in it. She said, did he? I said, yeah. I said, but he was telling us a good thing as well, you know. I said, and it didn't start off bad. It started off from just like the Labour Party. It didn't start off bad and all this. All of them have been invaded, you know, by this force that basically takes control of these things. And I said, we're we're kind of living through a rerun, I said, of the communist revolution a hundred years ago. She said, really? I said, yeah, but but it's a You live on the commi you've been living under communism your entire life. It's just being dressed up. Now you're beginning to see it for what it is. I said, and this is why you're concerned about what's going on locally because this is not the way we are designed or want to live. We're not happy. And she said, no. I said, and you're unhappy? Yeah. So so we're introducing people to discomfort.
This makes the message even more difficult, you know, because advertisers got a promise of all these benefits. You're gonna feel better if you buy this and all that. Well, I say, actually, if you listen to us, you're gonna feel worse. Oh, you you will wanna Yeah. But this is if you're a waste this is the problem.
[01:36:40] Unknown:
No. This is the problem. We don't want people to feel worse. We want them to feel motivated. Right? So so, again, it does does fear work initially? Yes. It does. It gets people's attention. But then you've gotta twist that and say, right. Okay. You know the problem. So so keep digging and keep look take it back as far as it'll go. Take that problem back as far as it'll go, and it'll take you to the calls, the initial causes. And that's that's where you need to go, and this is where this is why I keep bringing up things like science, religion, statism, you you know, money and things like that. If you can take it back to its common cause, you can probably figure out what the solution is. And in this case, you can figure out what the solution is. But, okay, what what we've we've talked about yeah. You can't know everything, but I think it's I think it's healthy to want to at least investigate as much as you can initially, and then and then pick something that that's that you're most passionate about and and and lead with that.
Just but but the problem with that is a lot of the things that people are leading with are in themselves psyops. Right? So so they'll they'll say, oh, I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna pick on flat earth for this one. So if there's any flat earth as I'm sorry, but, you know, just hear me out. If you go down that rabbit hole and a lot of people have and you would decide that that's the truth, then you're gonna push that as your truth, as your passion, and yet there's no there's no guarantee that what you're selling is actually truthful. It's just you have fallen for another psyop whilst thinking that you are now awakened. Right?
So what I so what right. I'm going off tangent. Right? Well, I'm I'm gonna bring it back to where I wanna take that. One of the things that I tell people and that I told people early on is first of all the seed planting thing that that's fine. Plant the seeds and water them occasionally. The other thing is don't look at this. Don't look don't look at life. Don't look at all of the agendas, as if it's in front of you and behind you. Take yourself up above it and look down upon it. Right? And that's that's when you're like, oh, right. That links to that. That links to that. That, oh, that's going there. If that happens, then that will happen. And if that happens, that will happen because we know that because of human psychology, because of sociology. You can figure things out, just, again, just by looking at at psychological responses, societal responses. So don't look at it as, you know, this stuff is all around you because you're gonna feel overwhelmed. Take yourself up above it and look down and say, right. How does all of this fit together?
And then and then what you're doing is the thing that all of the, truth brigade will say, oh, well, I'm a critical thinker. Well, unfortunately, no. You're not. You're not thinking critically because to think critically requires that you are being critical of your own thoughts, and you're challenging your own beliefs. You're challenging your own ideologies. Right? And most people don't do that. They latch onto an echo chamber, and they go round and round and round in circles, and they they fall in purity spirals where, you know, you've gotta outdo each other on how much you know about the subject that you that you're in your echo chamber for. Forget all of that. Forget all your beliefs. Forget all your ideologies. Just just go straight up and look down on it and start questioning everything, genuinely questioning everything, including and especially your own beliefs.
Because that's when that's when the magic starts. That's when the real progress, the real change starts because if you can say, well, hang on a minute. If I was wrong about that, what else have I been wrong about? And it's only when you realize that you're wrong about things that you can start to fix them and you can start to really investigate the subject. And you you know, so this is where we we we look at the things like Dunning Kruger effect, which is where people have I mean, we've we've discussed Dunning Kruger effect in the past, haven't we? Which is where people's level of confidence Yeah. But these things are always worth repeating because there's a Yeah. Yeah. There's a clutch of core bits of information that really cover an awful lot of ground quickly. I think the other thing is that different people that you speak to, because they're different, they respond in different ways. I'm sure there's some sort of psychological categorization
[01:40:33] Unknown:
chart, right? Some people their fear will get the better of them. You can't really work with them now. That's all I say is, you know, when people disagree with me my internal thing is currently. I always add this thing 'currently' and I will say to people my current understanding is this: but if we meet again in a month I might actually augment what I've said or even retract some of it because this is an ongoing process of permanently questioning every single thing that has been sent into my head. And And that's healthy. The problem yeah. It it is. And, of course, what school unfortunately produces and what most people go through life with is literally no intellectual defense mechanisms against this stuff that's coming into their head, particularly over the phone.
This is my phone. I claim this. I do this. And everybody else is reading it, so I guess it must be true. Well, it becomes a sort of perverted truth or or the the agreement of society that this is how we all behave. We all do this sort of stuff.
[01:41:31] Unknown:
So A perceptual truth. It's perceived as truth because it's accepted as truth because it's popularized, which is another thing. And sorry. Sorry. Just to go off from another tangent. That's another thing I used to tell people. If you can make the truth trendy and fashionable, it'll catch on. And I think that's the process that we're seeing now. It it it it's become trendy, which is why we're getting another sort of, like Yeah. Movement behind it. Anyway, sorry. I didn't I just just that that should popped up my mind as well. Barefoot Forager says something very interesting in chat. She said, Gareth Ike recommends using the phrase
[01:42:04] Unknown:
weird, innit?
[01:42:05] Unknown:
Now that's a good one, innit? Because Weird. Yeah. But okay. But but why is that? It's because it's getting you the person to think, isn't it? It's like, oh, that's weird. And then and then so they'll be like, is it why is it weird? Right. Okay. So, yeah, that that's a that's a good one. Sorry. I'm not triggering. I'm not triggering on the top for a bit. But,
[01:42:22] Unknown:
a big problem, I mean, especially around where I live Mhmm. They sit in front of their massive televisions watching the BBC, telling them the truth, inverted commas. And, and I mean, my neighbor decided to tell me, oh, what's going on? Because he reads the Daily Mirror.
[01:42:39] Unknown:
As if I didn't know what's going on, you know. Do you know? Well, at least it saves you the trouble of having to buy a copy.
[01:42:45] Unknown:
Well, that's right. Yes. Yes. Well, here's here's one for you. So so a good a good couple of years back, say, I don't know, seven or eight years ago, I had a friend who was so brainwashed and bought into everything. And I and he and he said, well, you you you're just naive. You're believing in all these conspiracy theories. And I'm like, well, is it still a theory if it's got evidence to back it up and and, you know and one of the things is he said, well, you keep talking about the mainstream media. He said, I'll read The Guardian. I don't know. So it's just it was like, you little
[01:43:16] Unknown:
face mask. Oh, yeah. You should have that as every story after I read the newspapers. I think that's hilarious. I love that. Yeah. I'd I'd actually quite happy to hear someone who said that to me. I watch the TV news. Oh, yeah. Alright.
[01:43:28] Unknown:
Well, yeah. And well, I said this is another one that I've come across. Well well, I watched the news. I'm informed. Are you really? No. You're you're conditioned, mate. There's a different I used to think that way. I used to think it's an intelligent thing to keep the the the the conditioning on twenty four seven so that you get the same message repeated that year 2,000 times a day. And then you realize, oh, hang on a minute. They're all doing the same message. They're all doing it on repeat one, and it's all for five five second focus, you know.
[01:43:53] Unknown:
And they all get their news from Reuters. And who owns Reuters?
[01:43:57] Unknown:
Well, it's it's it's our friends the, the Red Shield, isn't it? As far as I'm aware. That's right. And I'm I'm There's there's two in the Associated Press and Reuters, and they're the they're the ones that basically dictate the news. I I. E. They make it up and give it to you. Which is Yeah. I mean, we're we're dealing
[01:44:13] Unknown:
we're dealing with crowd control crowd control technologies, let's call them that, which are embedded in that group for thousands of years. These are people whose ancestors were kings or bureaucrats or ambassadors or this, that, and the other. They have a much more finely tuned ability to observe the behavior patterns of the people that are in front of them. And the thing about face to face communication is that you can suss people out lightning quick in terms of where their emotional bias is and this that and the other. Yeah. When we're doing the broadcasting stuff here, we can't see everybody, but we get a good indication really from the comment that that's what makes the chat with this stuff so dynamically important to the whole process of what we're doing. And I am looking at it by the way it's just that I'm talking so much I can't get to read it out but Eric's doing a good job. But that's why it's useful. I I do it also to have real it sounds sad to have real life communication moments.
In other words, it's alright me going around telling everybody they're not going out and talking to people but if I'm not doing it, I'm a joke, I I want to do it. I'll and I I speak to whoever's coming down the road when I'm out walking they're gonna they're gonna get at least, hi nice, I'll make piffle chat with them. I speak to literally everyone I meet. So on a walk I'll I'll probably connect with 20 people and I say something to every single one of them. And some of them I'm, you know, I don't know what I'm gonna get back but I do it to keep my tonsils, you know, to keep my voice box going. It's important this stuff. Because even if you don't reach anybody, what you're doing as the communicator is you're strengthening yourself.
And you're showing a commitment to this all the time. I have to keep sending signals back to myself that this is serious stuff, I am serious about it and that means I can joke about it. That's what we do around here. It's that serious that we can tell jokes about it because we need to. We go bonkers otherwise, you know. We are in a war situation, we are, you know, in a trench and we are getting shelled and we've got to find a way of dealing with that. So Well the first the first of people who have been attacked. I really do and I don't blame them. I think they're absolutely amazing. A lot of people that I meet they're really really good hearted And and it's not to be taken for granted, but the other side of taking advantage of the good nature of our people, and this breaks your heart. You can see it all the time. And I used to be a naive naive idiot when I was a teenager, but it didn't matter because I wasn't participating in this adult world and didn't want to, frankly. You know, why would you wanna do that when you can kick a football around and just talk idiot stuff with your mates? It's just such a laugh. It's fantastic.
And that sense of sort of we can do what we like. We can't do much because we ain't got any money, yeah, but we can go for a walk over that field and throw something at that cow. It's really pretty cool really. But people don't have any sense of there's not a spontaneous element in people's lives, but people are concerned and I think this is a good sign. It means that there is there's good fertile ground on which to build and it's only going to get more fertile unfortunately as the situation gets worse. The main thing is I think part of this as well is it assists each of us and people like us to not shut down ourselves.
[01:47:15] Unknown:
You gotta We can't we don't we don't we're not sorry. Just to to cut it again. We don't have the option of doing that anymore because if if we shut down and back out of this, then we become culpable in what happens afterwards. And Yeah. I'm not comfortable with that. And so so I used to be quite shy and, you know, I'd be careful what I said. In some in some regards, you know, if you you read the room a little bit. But I'm if I see something, I'll I'll just call it out, you know, in conversation. In fact, fact, I upset a neighbor of mine, about a month ago. He was walking his dogs, and he was he was talking about, you know, all the flags and how, Starmer is the enemy. And I just said, so I said, look. Begging your partner. I said, Starmer is just a cog in the machine. I said, this this what you're seeing here is going to take over the world. I said, it's every country is doing this. I said, they're doing this. I said, it's the same agenda that's being pushed. It's nothing to do with it with it this political party against that political party. Then it's sure as hell nothing to do with Starmer.
He's just the front man of it. He's just the face of it. And and and, unfortunately, for this chap, I really drilled into him, and I thought, what am I doing? You know? I I I I kind of felt horrible afterwards. I said, look. I'm gonna apologize for having a go at you. You're a horrible person, Nathan. Well, I know. But it's just I I I did I did feel horrible in the end. I'm like, right, mate. I said, look. It's not it's not personal against you. I said, but you really need to figure this out now. I said, because we're running out of time. And he's like, no. It's just this country. I said, no. It's not. I said, the same agenda, the same. I said, just watch. All the different countries are gonna do it, but they're gonna do it. They're gonna call it something slightly different. They're gonna bring it in at a slightly different time. They're gonna, you know, they're gonna try different things in different places. I said, just watch. I said, if you don't take my word for it, I said, go on the United Nations website and just type in agenda twenty thirty and agenda twenty fifty, and you you tell me what you find there. I said, and don't just don't skim it. Press the bullet points.
Find out how they're gonna do this. Right? Look at how they're gonna do it, and you tell me that that's not being applied everywhere. There is no escaping this, and that's not that's not me trying to put the fear of god into him. It's me trying to say, look. You you're only seeing a portion of this. Look at the bigger picture, picture, and the whole thing will click into place, and then you'll be fighting the right battles as opposed to, oh, Starmer was the bad guy. Or Starmer might be a bad guy, but he's not the bad guy, and he sure as hell not not the focal point of our attention. He is the errand boy du jour. That's all he is. He's the errand and he's a bad one. He's a nasty little errand boy, and he and he's being picked for those qualities. Now one thing I failed to mention to everybody is that I've,
[01:49:46] Unknown:
I've dropped the telephone call in thing with the numbers because, frankly, technically, it was pants. It was just not working right. So if you want to come into the show, you can do so but over Tintinet only. I think that message is saying that. So you go to paulenglishlive.com forward slash call. It'll bring you through into the studio and guess what? The enterprising
[01:50:06] Unknown:
Etta has done just that. So, Etta, hi. Welcome to the show. Welcome for having me or letting me on. Hello, Etta. Hello, Etta. How's everybody across the pond?
[01:50:16] Unknown:
We're we're happy Englishmen as you can tell, Etta. We're having a lovely time. How's Well,
[01:50:23] Unknown:
it's probably about the same as what we just saw in Ireland with all the riots and and all that good stuff. But I have to get handed to the Irishmen. They know how to, you know, they're at least they're fighting back for the right causes. You know, we don't have Yes. The I haven't seen yet, you know, the the fake no kings protests and all that crazy stuff. But I wanted to add on to what you guys have been talking about. And I remember when I was first waking up, if you will, and I probably went through at least a two week kind of dark night of the soul, realizing just how bad and how much I've been lied to, and my whole world view was flipped upside down.
So it was really a very difficult pill to swallow. And I've been asking myself the same questions you guys have been, presenting and, you know, how to how to how to inject the truth and the information to people who aren't quite there yet.
[01:51:29] Unknown:
Yes.
[01:51:30] Unknown:
And because they will automatically just block you out. They they do, unfortunately. After again, we've all seen this. The more you try and push it on people, the more they reject it. Right. Right. Doesn't work. It doesn't work. It doesn't. So you I was thinking to myself. I've been doing this for a few years now. You know, how can I present the truth and the real information, what's really going on in a way where people will consider it because they don't the a beautiful lie is easier to digest than the ugly truth? Right? So Mhmm. What I found is pretty effective is I will maybe talk about something that people don't normally know about, but more than likely will come up on mainstream news eventually, some you know, at some point in the near future.
And then when they start seeing it on mainstream news, then they'll be like, wow. I didn't realize she was right. You know, like, for example, my own father. He's like, you know what? You were right. And I'm like, see? So or I use historical context. Well, this back you know? And, you know, during this time period, this happened, and that was the outcome. And then I'll make a correlation to what's going on now. And then so they could see well, yeah. You know, that does make
[01:52:55] Unknown:
Common themes. Again, history Sorry. People say it didn't, you know, didn't repeat it wrong. So so history has got common themes there that if you can if you're familiar with it, you can you can then say well look at what happened say during the the the Soviet revolution and you know how that is similar to what's happening now and draw some you know not coincidences but similarities and synchronicities and parallels look right yeah parallels thank you brilliant But but yeah. Sorry. Carry on carry on. That's
[01:53:25] Unknown:
No. And and I found that, a lot of times people will be more much more open to what I have to say And, you know, and then, of course, drop in the seeds and water and that would be, I guess, watering the seed, you know, when when you kinda drop the seeds and they they start seeing it for themselves.
[01:53:43] Unknown:
I've that's that's one technique I found that, you know, is I I think it's a good way to go, Etta. Absolutely. I mean, I you know, I I think another thing about talking about historical examples like French Revolution, whatever it is, and I throw these things in all the time, is you're distancing it it's less personal so the people can listen to it. It's almost like, oh, history's quite interesting. It is if you tell it right. But you can use it to illustrate these dynamics and say, well, you know, they were facing a similar thing. Were they? Yeah. And this, that, and the other. And to just get it rolling without it being your you, sir, are directly in the biggest pile of shit you ever knew, but you don't know about it because it's a bit too much. It's like, yeah. I know you've been eating cornflakes all your life, but here's some caviar. Get stuck in, oh I think it's a bit beyond my palate. It's a bit too intense. And we here on this side, I guess we have to become ever more sensitive about where we're at. Because if you are well stocked with knowledge, one of the things that you have to sort of this is why face to face is very useful, is where the other person is at. You can't over it doesn't work to overload people like you were saying because they do shut down, and we don't want that. The other thing I was thinking as well is there's this thing about little groups, teams of three, like a little cell.
Yeah. Like this woman that mentioned the Fabian Society. Now she knew all the other people in that group way better than I'm ever gonna know because she'd been hanging around with them for x number of months or whatever. The idea is to get her to get a couple of of those people around her so that you feed some person who then takes it off to another group and all these other these things happen naturally as well but I'm I'm thinking of these things all the time because when they congregate and they're and then you realize, oh, yeah. We got together and we talked about that on Monday and going, this is good. This is really, really good. And it will work. It's like a ripple effect.
[01:55:32] Unknown:
Right. And then sometimes sometimes sometimes people want to prove you wrong.
[01:55:37] Unknown:
Right? And then I'll I'll respond, well, prove me wrong. Go ahead. Look it up. Can I can I just interject it here? That that that is brilliant what you've just said there because that when when people I mean, and they do. They get really head up on certain things and it's like, well, you're wrong. I've gotta prove you wrong. Yes please do because because if if you're genuine and you do do the research and investigation you're going to find out whether I'm right or wrong and or whether you're right or wrong but at least you're doing the work then. Right? You're going off. You're thinking. You're investigating, and that that's the best thing they can do. And if they come back to you, they're gonna say, well, actually, you are wrong. In which case, then you can learn from it. Or, actually, you were right. In which case, they have now been brought to scratch by their own, curiosity. What a difference in in in in in the battle. Yeah. Right. That's half the battle right there. Absolutely. Yeah. So no. That that's a great point. But I've also noticed a few establishment people, like, well, I wouldn't say it's that establishment. Have you heard of a chap called,
[01:56:32] Unknown:
Colonel MacGregor?
[01:56:34] Unknown:
He's Oh, brilliant. Yeah. In The States.
[01:56:37] Unknown:
That's right. Now he was talking about the French Revolution, and he was obviously a colonel. And, he's saying things as they are on what's happening. Very interesting man. And he was I I he knows how far to go, but what you were saying, Paul, was similar to what you were saying about the French rev revolution, but not sort of so much. Just keeping back about, you know, what and I was thinking, hang on a minute. Has you been watching has you been listening to our show?
[01:57:10] Unknown:
Of course, he has. Hi, Ken. Everything. This is Hope you're enjoying this week's episode.
[01:57:15] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. But it it might have been listening to the show. You you know, I mean, again, it's it's it's another seed, isn't it? And then somebody else might take it and sort of think, right. Okay. Well, I can do something with that, and then and then I can do my own show. And why the hell not? Anyway I think they need
[01:57:28] Unknown:
little little I mean, I've actually found leaflets help, and those fock bobs, they help as well because people can read it when you walked away. There it is. It's in front of them. It shows you're acting like a signpost. And I think acting like a signpost is probably better where you don't say very much, but you just say and, you know, I I say to people in groups, say, yeah. So would you like some money? And they said, look at you with a funny look. So, yeah, I I'm giving away money today. And then when I I've got I've I've got a posh wallet, which I use for the fog bombs. I get that out of my pocket. And I can see the top of them. I think, bloody hell, he's really giving money. Then when they get out, they realize it's a fake.
But it's got information on the back, but in very small amounts. And if they wanna know more, they'll look on the Internet. And I think that is the way I'm trying to get it over, but with humor, laughter, comedy. But I found that a small percentage will just throw the note back at you and say, I don't know what this is. I just wouldn't wouldn't even know what it is. Don't wanna look at it. You know? That's when you hit them, Eric. Eric, that's when you hit them. Okay? That's right.
[01:58:33] Unknown:
Yes. That's what what How how would you do that? When you say that's when when you hit them? Are we worrying about physical violence there or no? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we actually need to Sorry, man. We need to watch the, self defense post program. That's why you should need to take a toothbrush
[01:58:46] Unknown:
with you when you go out talking. Have you thought of that? Because if you saw was it, the Monday before last, I think it was? That was survival Steve. And he said, self defense. He said, and he got out a toothbrush. I I thought, hang on a minute. He's taking the wee wee, isn't he? He knows how politely I said it. And he said, no. He said, if you get one which is a bamboo handle, it's particularly hard, and you keep it with you, put that clench clinch your fish around it and go wallop to hit someone. He said,
[01:59:17] Unknown:
that is quite a way. Too fresh training. You could do it on the street, Eric. I Yes. Anyway, I've got to interject because we're just coming up to the end of our time slot here on WBN. So we're nearly at the top of the hour. I'm gonna sort of do a crossover song as I usually do. We'll play a little bit of music. Thanks everybody for tuning in here on WBN for the last couple of hours. We'll be back again at the same time next week. And if you tune into Ria's show on Sundays, I'm gonna be with her in the last hour, which will just two till three in The UK. What's that in it's nine oh, actually, no. It's not. It's weird because our clocks go backwards, don't they? I don't know what's happening with the time. I'm just on the last hour with Ria's show. I think it might start an hour earlier. Might be 5AM start this week. Anyway we're gonna play out with a little bluegrass song, how about that? You know, because because we are we'll be back I'll be back here with, Nathan and, Eric and Etta, if she's still here with us, I hope she is, after this little song.
[02:00:45] Unknown:
Say your prayers, little one. Don't forget my son to include everyone. Tuck you Something's wrong. Shut the light. Heavy thoughts tonight in the yard of Snow White. Dreams of wars,
[02:03:35] Unknown:
Just a beast under your bed. In your closet, in your head.
[02:04:30] Unknown:
And that was, of course, Enter Sandman by Iron Horse, a song that I think Metallica picked up a little bit later on and did their version of it. I had to say that. So yeah. Anyway, I'm a bluegrass guy at times and that was one of those times. So there we go. Anyway, welcome back to the last hour of the show here on Rumble and YouTube and Radio Soapbox and Eurofot Radio and elsewhere and Global Voice Network. We're here with the crew and with Nathan and, currently accompanied by Etta, which is nice. Where have we got to? I actually I might want to just change the tack a little bit. One of the things you said early on when you came on, Nathan, you were we were talking about organizational structures and you talked about religion, which is always fun. And, those of us in England may be aware, because I read The Guardian too, of course. So you must be an alternative reader then, I do. I I I love the groigniad, which is, which is how it should be pronounced. It's the groyniad.
And, this, item from today, Thursday '30 October 23, this is a fun one. King Charles makes history by praying publicly with Pope Leo.
[02:05:49] Unknown:
Everybody knows. A Muslim now. Well, that's me. Calling me confused.
[02:05:53] Unknown:
Oh, no. Well, I think I think they're planning to blend them all together into one world religion, you see, because that's obviously what the world needs. Oh, yeah. New religion. Yeah. As opposed to none at all. Yeah. It took time to call it.
[02:06:08] Unknown:
Did I hear that, that was the very that was the very first time that king Charles had met with any pope? Isn't that isn't that true?
[02:06:16] Unknown:
No. It's the first time any king since Henry the eighth has actually had any formal state connection with the, with the Vatican. Yes. Yeah. So I I think it's pretty significant. It is. It is. It's fantastic. It's brilliant news if you're into this religion lark, but possibly not. I won't read the whole article. In fact, I shouldn't really read any of it, but I think it is very interesting. They've been moving to all this stuff. There was, there was there was some resistance, came from Northern Ireland, which was, the son of Ian Paisley. Do you remember Ian Paisley back in the seventies? Yeah. Parshley.
[02:06:56] Unknown:
That's right. Parishway. He used to attack ferocious speed. Morning. Yeah. You know? And, did you do you hear about the little fellow in, America was heard about Ian Paisley when he's alive, you see? And he saved up all his money to go to Northern Ireland to listen to Ian Paisley preaching, you see. And Mhmm. Eventually gets the money together, and he goes to Ian Paisley's congregation. And Ian Paisley's re really laying it on. And the heavens will open up, and it'll open hell, and all this. And this fellow's going, oh, brilliant. And he stands up and shouts, hallelujah. Praise the Lord. And he and Paisley come and shouts back, well, I've done of that in this church. Sorry.
[02:07:37] Unknown:
Yeah. Well, let me let me let me read you a little bit about what his son had said. This is technically, of course, from the Groinead. It says a pro a prominent Protestant cleric from Northern Ireland said Charles should abdicate. Good grief. That's a bit harsh. Just if he prayed with the Pope. Kyle Paisley, a reverend with the Free Presbyterian Church and son of the late unionist politician, Ian Paisley senior, told the BBC that the joint prayers would break the king's oath to uphold the Protestant faith. Quote, the Protestant faith historically and theologically is a world apart from Catholicism. I don't for the life of me see how he can engage in that kind of corporate worship. I quite like him saying that. Asked if Charles should abdicate if the service went ahead, Paisley said yes because I don't think he's being true to his oath. Another interesting quirk of all of this, going all the way back to Henry the eighth's time, which makes it even sort of daftor, the whole thing. By the way I'm no fan of either of the churches, they're daft as a brush as far as I'm concerned, the whole lot of them. But, Henry the eighth, was an ardent Catholic. He used to take mass six times a day.
This is whilst he was riding and hunting and everything, right, really into the whole thing until he couldn't get his way and get his marriage annulled. Basically the Pope said no way, mate. And then of course lots of heads started getting chopped off and all this that and the other, right? But, he, what was happening is there was a great attack at the time on the, Martin Luther and all these other, this force was rising up in Germany attacking the Catholic church for what appeared to be good reasons at the time. They probably are good reasons, but I don't wanna get enmeshed in all of that. And, so Henry was a bit cross about all this, him being an ardent Catholic and everything, so he wrote this like epistle, this huge thing called the Defense of the Faith.
And the Pope got a copy, of course, and he thought it was so magnificent he said this is the best defense of the faith I've ever read. I'm going to give you a title. I'm gonna call you, the monarch of England, the defender of the faith. Now interestingly, after he split with the Church of Rome, he didn't want to lose that title. And every monarch in England since Henry the eighth up to Charles right now is known as the defender of the faith. Yeah.
[02:09:54] Unknown:
How about that? This is whacked out. But but but also was nut jobs, the lot of them. But Henry the eighth was never divorced. Did you know that? He never he never divorced. Yeah. He wanted to divorce his marriage an old or something like that. They were an old. That's right. Yeah. And he, yes. So they were an old and I think that, was it one of the he was widowed once because one of them died from natural causes. So, yeah, he he this is the it's a bit of a myth that he was divorced. He didn't divorce. That's it. He was annulled. No. So there we go. Not many people know that.
[02:10:29] Unknown:
Not a lot of people know that. That's right. No. They don't.
[02:10:33] Unknown:
But I still think Charles Laughton was the best one acting in King Henry the eighth for showing throwing chicken legs over his shoulder. Remember that? Yes. In the film? I do. Yes. Yes. Very good. You're very good he was at that. He's also very good with an amp, wasn't he? He had the amp a lot. He was the arch back of Mount Of Notre Dame. Bloody good actor.
[02:10:52] Unknown:
Well, interestingly, it's I I didn't know he was gonna do that this week but, I was listening. We had Eli on, didn't we, last week? That's right. And, it was a cracking show and I've spoken to Eli since briefly. He really enjoyed himself as well and he has promised Eric to come on at some point in a few weeks' time and do a Vietnam special for you. Oh, I'll look forward to that. He sent me a message. I said, oh, Eric will be happy. He'll be very happy about that, so we'll cover that. We'll get some scriptural stuff in as well, but he he he's quite happy to come on and do some more Vietnam anecdotes and give you his insights about that. I think it was a big part of his life in the sense that he really understood that that war was being fought to be lost intentionally, but that's that's for when when we get him on next time. Yes. But could we not get him on to Chris's show as well? Would he would he not go on to Eric Von Essex?
I can ask you. He's a very busy guy. He's out and about, you know, in real life meeting people, spreading his message, and and communicating people just in much the same way that we are. So but, yeah. I'll speak to him about that. Oh, many times. And just as a as a reminder, he's on radio soapbox, by the way, every Sunday at 03:00 till 04:30. And if you're into learning more about that aspect of things, he's as good a source as I know of. He's he's brilliant, very lively guy as you can tell from the show that we had with him last week. It's amazing for a guy that's had a quintuple heart bypass so it's astonishing really but there you go. Anyway he was reading from a website, an article from a website on his show this Sunday and I happened to be listening to it. I sometimes sort of join him on Sundays if if I've digested all the roast beef. You know what I'm talking about, Eric. Okay? So everything's gone down nice and properly.
And he was reading from a website called wickedshepherds.com and there is an article there, the main article that's gone up relatively recently, which is about the distortion of the church or the church's distortions and it's quite brilliant. I don't want to go the thing's quite long, I've spent the last few days reading it, it's about sixty, eighty pages long something like that. But I want to talk about briefly about William Tyndale. This is just amazing stuff. But basically the the the the aim of the article and so you would have to read it to make take your own view. I know what mine is. I'm not here to sell you that necessarily right now although I want to. But, what he's basically saying is the word church does not appear in scripture at all, which might be a surprise to you all but it doesn't appear once, it's not in there. But if you go and read the King James version of the Bible you will find it in there all over the place. Now William Tyndale, who is not known as much as he ought to because this is a real hero of English resolve, talk about asking questions.
Tyndale translated the Bible alone solo in the early 1500s, right, before and during Henry's reign, right, in the early 1500s. And he wasn't liked for it very much, that's putting it mildly, because it was forbidden to actually, communicate, those documents in English. And some of the stories that are embedded within the essay are horrific. For example, a woman and her children who she had been teaching scripture to in English, they were all burnt at the stake for doing that. This is before Tyndale had finished the full translation. Just to give you an idea, right, anybody who thinks the Church of England is absolutely, no I don't think so. They've it's just they've all got skeletons in their closet and that's a bad one. But Tyndale basically had had enough of being preached to as it were by, all the people in the hierarchy, the organizational corporate structure to use Paisley's, quote Paisley.
He'd had enough of this and I think one of his phrases is I'm gonna translate the Bible so that the plowboy of England will know more about scripture than the high prelates and the priests, which is fantastic, right? Unfortunately for him, this didn't go down too well with the authorities. So he lived the last few years of his life, I don't know what I mean by few, it was quite a lot of them, in Holland skulking around all over the place. As he continued to translate it he did complete a complete translation of the New Testament and was well on with the Old Testament, but could not get around to do it because a pal of his invited him over for a Sunday lunch at some house in Holland where he was sprung upon by six agents of the clergy from over here or the power structure of the church.
They threw him in prison for eighteen months and then they strapped him to a stake with loads of wood around it and the executioner throttled him to death. Strangled him. What kind of an execution is that? So throttled him to death, then they set fire to him, in front of a gallery of all of these priests that had come over from England. I was gonna say flown over but they didn't have jets or airplanes back then but they'd come over for the whole purpose. It's an excellent article. It's really if you if you wanna do more tunneling into this because what it's talking about is the same organizational disease that we have in politics and elsewhere that we've been touching upon here. These things get carried away. It's as if the intermediaries and that we don't need any, this is the whole thing.
Scripture doesn't talk about an intermediary priestly class at all. There's not one bloody word in there about it. It's about a totally different arrangement. I think I mentioned this before on the show. What we're doing here, talking freely, congregating, and discussing things is exactly the instruction set from scripture. But most not a lot of people know that. They think you've got to go to a church and all this and this is an absolute tirade. An absolute massively wonderfully critical article about that, about why there's literally no authority for them to behave in the way that they do. And so bringing it full circle to today, I think Paisley's view of it being corporate is true. I'm not here to defend any of them because they're all basically they're like fan clubs that have got beyond their station and have made themselves the object of everybody's attention whereas in fact and that's why they don't teach anybody any truth from it. I just thought I'd let you know. And doesn't government operate in the same way? Keeps you stupefied?
Be loyal to the government, otherwise you're a bad person. All that kind of stuff. So
[02:17:07] Unknown:
just to kind of throw that in. Well, let's let's look at that then, shall we? Because what what what is it that the government and the church or religion or the priestly authorities all have in common? What what is it that they capitalize on?
[02:17:20] Unknown:
Your stupidity.
[02:17:23] Unknown:
Yeah. No. I would I'm not I'm not sure stupidity is the rule of work. I would I would say maybe a bit no. Hold on a sec, mate. Naivety as opposed to stupidity. I'm not I'm not sure
[02:17:35] Unknown:
that that's Well, they've kept people stupid. I mean, if you think about the people of England. Right? Mhmm. They couldn't actually access they couldn't access the documents because they weren't in English. They were compelled to go to these places called churches to be told what it was. Yeah. And when they were there they were compelled to put money on the plate. For example, I think if you go back to the original documents there's a strict command that nobody gets paid for this ever. Think about that. You can't set yourself up as a pray, as a pastor or whatever you want and get money for gobbying off about what you think is in the book. It's completely out of order, it's totally against the actual instruction set. Well they're not likely to tell you that are they? They're not likely and there's nothing about fancy pews or singing or and I don't know what it was like for you if you've ever went to church as a kid. I did. I think you did, Eric, didn't you? I I I have often said I still do. I I
[02:18:35] Unknown:
I do go to I do attend churches. I've just over the years various churches and I'm not I'm not a traditional I I don't think I I can't I can't feel comfortable calling myself a Christian, but I know that you say that. But I but at the same time, I'm not not a Christian, but I'm I'm I'm a Christian in the esoteric sense of the word, the true sense of it. But but I I still have a church as a whole. I'm in agreement with you
[02:19:00] Unknown:
because I and I think I understand what you I think I understand what you're saying. Yeah. When when you say that to people, are you a Christian? What people hear is do I attend a church? Well if you read the documents you're not told to do that. So if you don't attend one you're much more likely to be a Christian than those that do. Seriously, I'm not making this stuff up. So you know and we look at the money stuff, talking to people about money and usury, any of these topics. The reason why people are controllable is that we've not been given the correct truthful information by design. Right. That's why I meant what's what I meant by the word stupid. We have been bred to be stupid in the face of certain bodies of information so that we're very very easy to control. No, you go and talk to the priest about that. And as a kid I was going why? Well so you know I can read it, I'll do it myself thanks very much. I never invited you to act as an intermediary.
And that's what they've done. They've set themselves up and the whole there's so much stuff in there. There's an absolute in the scriptures. There's a total tirade against this sort of nonsense. This is the very thing that most most of the teachings in the scriptures are about. They're saying this is what you don't do. You don't do any of your stuff. Mate, mate, a lot of them they're right even in in seminary school and things like this they are told
[02:20:19] Unknown:
to cherry pick certain phrases, certain certain, you know, bits of the bible to to to preach, but they're also told what not to to, like, disclose to the public. They're also told what to avoid disclosing. Right? You don't oh, you don't say, this bit from that book because it contradict that bit from that book or or because it'll contradict you know, it'll it'll cause too many people asking questions, and they'll they'll they'll wanna know why that was okay there, but it's not okay. It's it's things like that. But going going back so so, again, my issue is not with Christianity. My it's not it's nothing to do with the spiritual nature of this stuff. It's my issue is with religion as in the organized body that is that is cherry picking, nitpicking, and controlling. So you I asked I just just then. I said, what what have they all got in in common, like religion and politics?
It's they they offer it. Right. So first of all, they take away your sovereignty. Right? This is the first thing they do. It's like, right. There is a higher power than you. You you're at the bottom of the pyramid. Know your place, get on your knees and and look up. Well, if you're looking up at somebody, they're automatically looking down on you. So you you you have then subjected yourself to what to what is now an authority. Right? So so both politics, religion, and even money, again, the three the three basic psyops, the three fundamental psyops of all time. They've all got authority figures, and these authority figures use things like fear, ignorance. And by ignorance, I'd I'd you know, I'm literally meaning ignorance. Right? To it, which is to ignore information, to ignore signs, to ignore symbols, to ignore, you know, knowledge as I put you in, you know so so they use that against you, which is why I say it's probably more a case of keeping people in the dark as opposed to them being stupid. It's more about naivety and not knowing because you've not had access to certain information, you know, things things like that.
So so you've got we and the third one, you've got fear. Fear. Right? And they come to I mean, again, going back to what we're saying earlier about fear. It's one hell of a motivator, but it also it's one hell of a step down. And so it's it's a it's a way of keeping you in your place. If you don't do this in our policy, if you don't do this according to scripture, you're gonna go to hell. You're gonna or or you're gonna go to prison or you're gonna right. There's all punishment. Right? So so then we're using then we're using reinforcements. Do this and we'll reward you or don't do that and and and you'll be punished.
And and this this is what they've all got in common. It's a way it's a control system. It's a control grid. Right? I don't I don't have a problem with with with spirituality. Not at all. And I and I would consider a lot of the aspects of of many religions in the world to be spiritual at their core. And I've got no problem with that because I think there's an underlying, you know, trunk of truth going through all of them that they you there is. I mean, that otherwise, it would never work in the first place. But it's it's the construct. It's it's the the mechanism of control and authority. That's what I've got the problem with because as soon as you give your power away, and I think we discussed this the other day, you're giving away your independence, your autonomy. You're giving away your free thought. You're giving away your critical thinking. You're giving away your questioning ability and all these things to somebody that has has a perceived elevation above you. It's not right. That that's that's my issue with it. And so, you know, talking about churches, yeah, come together and discuss and and and, you know, be spiritual and try and connect with with the the god force of the universe and things like this. Ask questions.
Don't be afraid to, you know, of of punishment. And it it's that that's not the right way to do things. Avoiding avoiding questions, avoiding certain information is not the right way of doing it. But equally, the reason I do attend churches and, you know, I mean, I won't I won't say which one I'm at at the minute. It's very interesting. The people there are lovely. I would actually say it was one of the better ones actually, but, you know, I've been to Jehovah's Witness churches. I've been to, well, halls, if you wanna call it, you know, how they refer to it. Just just various you know, even local churches that have been set up in in I think there was one here about four years ago that was set up in a community center at nighttime.
There seems to be a lot of that going around where whether they're doing it in community centers, which is a shame because there's a lot of church buildings going empty and I actually like the buildings.
[02:24:28] Unknown:
I think it adds to Oh, the buildings are fantastic, but that's part of the problem as well. I'm I'm sort of I've got two hats on here. First of all, I agree with you. The buildings are wonderful. They took a lot of money to build those things and good things came out of that. So the workmanship, the actual quality and architecture of the buildings is great. Yep. But what was the purpose behind it? It's to it's to enthrall people more fully to a to a binding in religious system. And, you know, the three things that you touched upon there, which we've talked about all this, like government, banking, and religion, most of those, as far as we know, although it's probably even more ancient than this, but their origin is in Babylon.
Babylon is known for the development of usury and banking practice, for the religious structure systems and priesthoods. Yeah. Yes. For for all of this kind of stuff. And therefore, you know that thing I was saying about half an hour ago that they've got access to knowledge that's ancient about how to crowd control, this is where it's all come from. So there's this intermediary class. You gotta listen to Bobby. He's read it better than you, everybody else shut up. Whereas what scripture actually says is, now everybody gets to talk.
You all talk. And someone's a guide but they're not like the official thing. What's that got to do with it? You know, I don't know about I've always said, look I don't need I'm not inviting you to tell me what it is. I want to read it myself and make my own mistakes. And if I get stuck I'll come and ask you, but not as a priest, as a bloke that I know, right? You're a bloke. And it's it's talks about things like no titles. None. No titles at all. Yeah. Because what what happens when you put titles in the mix? You you you're creating a matrix. You're you're creating a power of matrix. You're creating a,
[02:26:13] Unknown:
a, you know, a pyramid scheme where there's always somebody above you. And they've again, it's it's perceived helplessness. It's perceived ignorance. It's perceived, you know, what what, you know, inferiority, I guess. So you're right. What why should there be a priest? Did a learned person who knows the book better than you or knows or or or has a, you know, vast amount of information that you can turn to and say, well, how does that work? Yeah. Fair enough. But for somebody to to claim to be the authority over it, it's a bit suspicious to me.
[02:26:42] Unknown:
Me too. And I think it breeds that culture so that you see it's not how much you know it's if if you're in discussion with someone about anything it's it seems to me that a key part of that in terms of being gracious and kindly to the other person is to provide them to the best of your ability with what we were just talking about an hour ago to get them questioning it. That's the whole thing isn't it? And you go so I said look I'm really stuck on this bit what does that mean? He go well I think it means this but so and so's got a different view let's go and talk to him. There isn't an official thing. The truth will come out in terms of the attitude and relationship between the people inquiring into it. That's what's fantastic about anything. Whether it's scripture or how the government operates so that the law is crooked or that the banking system's crap. Everybody's going no this is an expert. Woah hang on just a minute. Who says he's an expert? But then you're gonna you make your own evaluation with what people say and all of these things are interlinked.
So I think you know I think the observation you made that religion is the oldest one in terms of control is absolutely true because you've got this mystery
[02:27:50] Unknown:
in everybody's hearts. What am I? Where is this place? Is it flat? Is it round? I know they've just been having a discussion about that. What shape is it? Are the stars really there? On and on and on and on and on it goes. Where do we come from? Where did it all start? What what's it all about? What's the purpose of it? Why right. There's so many questions. And and okay. Maybe we never get the answers to some of them or at least in this realm. Doesn't mean we shouldn't investigate it. Doesn't mean we you know, that it it's it's asking these questions that gets you to think about the other things that Absolutely. Can I can I just sorry? There's a comment just a little bit further up by, truth is our reality.
I've got a little anecdote here. He said that's the energy that you feel when you go into an old church. So I think it was about fifteen years ago. So I was I was going through an atheistic I I was an atheist fifteen years ago, basically. And I went to Pisa, you know, in Italy, you know, the Leaning Tower and all that stuff. Yeah. Now the the the tower itself didn't bother me. I was just like, well, it's a tower. It's late. I'm not I'm not paying to go in there. But anyway, the right next to it, which is what a lot of people tend to miss, is a massive cathedral. And and it's a beautiful building from the outside. But I walked in, and I just looked up. And I said I said to the people that that were with me, now I get it. Now I get why people would go into a cathedral or a church and be absolutely overwhelmed because you're you're looking around at the architecture of this thing of of the of the artwork in it, the architecture, the masonry, the acoustics, the size of it, the stuff all of the stuff that's in there, even even the symbolism on the walls, the cloth, the books, the bike right. And the smells that go with it. I mean, my god, you walk into that and it's like, right now I get why people fall for this. Right now I understand because because it is it is I mean, it's beautiful. Again, I I don't have a problem, with churches and and cathedrals, things like that. In fact, I love going into them most of the time, especially the old ones. But it's it's it's overwhelming almost. And if you do get that sense of, wow, there's something here. There's some there's some connection to spirit. There's some connection to God here. Right? And but if you can then capitalize on that and and then lead what what do they call it? Leading the flock?
You know? Mhmm. Then that's the bit that I've got a problem with. Well, who's leading me? Yeah. I think you're right. Sheep. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Just just to finish that up. If I'm part of the flock, then that makes me a sheep. And if I'm part of if I'm a sheep, then I'm following, where am I being led to? You know? Because lambs generally get led to the slaughter, don't they? By by the shepherds.
[02:30:15] Unknown:
I think that's why that website's called wicked shepherds because that's what it's about. Because power corrupts, and they get power in the priesthood class, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Right? Yeah. To paraphrase Lord Acton, which is spot on. And we've got this in all these man made structures. But how about this? Let's let's suppose we were around five hundred years ago. I mean we wouldn't be talking like this because this technology didn't exist. You and I probably couldn't even read and write. We'd be looking after sheep or pigs all week or planting crops or, you know, putting shoes on horses or whatever we did. Yep. Getting by, making barrels. We're doing that stuff. Once a week, you go into that place. It'd be mind blowing. Yeah. It'd be mind blowing. Yeah. It would. It would it would put you enthralled. You would go into a different state of consciousness.
And what they're doing is they're harvesting that and not giving you the full deal. So when you think about Tyndale, and I do, he's a bloke out there, goes to Oxford, very bright, right, really bright guy, and he goes, this is wrong. I've read this, because he could read it in the original Greek and Hebrew. I've read this. People need to know this directly. The plowboy of England needs so that he, the plowboy, as he goes through life can ask his own questions. What's that a threat to? Wicked shepherds. It's basically the sheep saying, hey thanks, thanks but I don't need you anymore. And they've done everything they can to stop you leaving their conditioned flock. And that's what governments are doing. Every single one of them do this.
[02:31:41] Unknown:
But there's one answer to do. Here's another one that they they so again, money, church and state. There there's another thing that they do as well and this this one's a bit tricky to to and once you spot it, you'll spot it. They create polarizing dialectics. Right? There's always an enemy. There's always an another side that we don't like. Right? There's always, oh, well, we are this and therefore the other side. So then it's so then that's in that's basic psychology. That's hacking basically psych psychology. That's putting you into, what's referred to as splitting or mental, like, cognitive myopia and things like that. It's it's creating us and them, red and blue, which which look at the cover of of my book. That's deliberate. That's a polarizing dialectic. There's always a red and there's always a blue because they're the opposite end of the spectrum. And they're always fighting one another.
And yet, if you, again, look at it from a from an above perspective and you've got the puppet master. Right? That's the that, you know, go up and look down and you'll see what what they can see. You then and then you'll start to see how they do it, why they do it, you know. And it's you mentioned there about a priest class, knowing this stuff and using it against us and, you know, but in in Babylon and things, they they were ancient psychologists. Right? The the one thing that they do is is tap into psychology. And then and once you figured that out, you can control society. You can control individuals. You can put them in cults. You know? It it's it's very, very clever. I'm just sorry. Just I'm looking at the comment there. Look at the color of my walls. Leave you leave my walls alone. Red and blue. Yeah. I've got red and blue walls in my bedroom, but I bloody love them, and they're great. But but do you know what though? It has a I've I've completely segueing. The red and the blue, it has a strange effect on on on consciousness.
It puts you in if it's if it's balanced correctly, it puts you into a a calm alert state. And that sounds contradictory, but it it's it it's very deliberate. If you can contrast the red and the blue in in in a good balance, you you can get both both sides of your brain working simultaneously. And and it's so it's I've I've done this for a reason. If you can balance it out, it's interesting things happen. But you but you look at how red and blue are used throughout society, the news, especially look at the news and the media and things like that. Look at supermarkets. Look at political parties. Look. I mean, jeez, it's everywhere. Red and blue, red and blue, red and blue. And I know all these other colors used by corporations and stuff, but just look at the the prominence of the red and blues out there. And and Yep.
It's and it is mind blowing. And it's it's very, very telling.
[02:34:14] Unknown:
It is. It's it they create an adversarial condition Yes. Which they thrive off as the middlemen. This is Like, the it's the middlemen that are doing they need that conflict to earn their living. Yeah. They need you to be in a state of off balance ness. You start reading it directly that you they can't do it as well. This is why they went crazy and strangled Tyndale. And the the it's important coming through to the King James Bible in this particular example because, he having read it did not put the word church in his translation once because it's not in there, because it's not a Hebrew or Greek word. It doesn't exist. Right? The actual word is is assembly or congregation.
Yeah. A gathering together. We've assembled here behind microphones, right? This is what we're doing. That's what I'm trying to get. It's not this there is a mystical aspect to it, but if you don't get the basics right, like how do you run the meetings, you're stuffed. I mean when they when it first got started right after Christ's death they were basically like we are right now there were clubs let's call them that all over France particularly and in Switzerland and all of these places who were getting together and discussing this stuff. This is before Constantine rocked up and basically politicized and nationalized it.
That's what he did. He turned it into this power structure. They moved the services into these big buildings that the Romans and then you've got this whole heritage of these magnificent buildings which we love. But they were to project state power across the peasant's head and it works that's why it's all there, right? They get all this money, they come, they rob you, they take all your money, they put up a big building and then they control your mind for the rest of your life and you can't ask any questions about it. So Tyndale refused to put the word church in, would not do it. Good. But absolutely refused to do it because he says it's not in there. So he was brought initially he was brought before a sort of gathering of local bishops who basically got very heavy with him but they released him with a warning that he should never ever do that. And he didn't he said 'stick it up your backside'. And he went off and did it right. He did it right. This is why he came to grief. This is why he's an absolute he's one of these guys that nobody talks about much and you won't get much talk about him from the church system because he's the guy that basically began to prize it open for the people because he said, hey this is supposed to go direct just like supposedly democracy is, right? And all these other systems that they've come up with, these are just the front end to get you suckered in. Oh, I live in a free and democra I've got the vote and all this kind of stuff without seeing the results of it. Well, the results are that you're not Yeah. I was just gonna say all democracy means is mob rule.
[02:36:53] Unknown:
Mhmm. And, you know, so I mean, so so is it mobbers in, you know, the plebs and the people, or is it mobbers in, you know, gangsters and mob rule? You know? It it Yeah. It's you you're being mobbed. You've been you've been it's it's just, I mean to tell you they they're using the language and you know some people say spelling and it's yeah. Okay. Word magic, spelling, stuff like that. Yeah. Absolutely. They've been using this against us for millennia and they're experts at it. I mean they're really really are.
[02:37:20] Unknown:
Yeah. Because they don't get any opposition. They've got the wealth and everything. They get bodyguards literally, but also psychological bodyguards now, which means people don't speak up in meetings. So this is another thing about church services. Only one guy gets to speak. What's that all about?
[02:37:35] Unknown:
I want that I want to hear what that bloke sat over there says. I don't want to hear you every week. Right? Why do I want to hear you every week? You know a better stuff. Fine. Fair enough. Why you every because I went to a seminary and learned all this stuff. I don't give a crap about that. That's me. I'd like to tell you, I'd I'd love to do that. If somebody said to me, we're we're gonna put you through seminary school. We're gonna fund you, and you can go through seminary school, and you can get you you can be educated as a priest or or a a preacher or something. I'd do it. My god, I'd do it. And I'd I'd put I'd put all my effort into it just to see. And I'd, you know, I'd be respectful to it. I wouldn't I wouldn't be, you know, I'd I'd I'd do it respectfully, but I'd want to learn from it. I'd wanna know everything. I wanna know what they know so that when I come out, I can say, you know, when they do that thing or when they say that, what they're not telling you is bang, bang, bang. Yes. Right? That's what I wanna so and just just to, sorry. The the comments are coming thick and fast again. I like it when it does that. But Steve, Sixblade, and it's he's a good friend of mine as as Yes. Hi, Steve. So he's just said there, religion translates to to hold back. So so in in the Latin is to bind back. Right? It it actually if if if we look at it from another perspective, it's to rebind back. Right? It's to hold you back from from from progress.
It's to it's to effectively it's to keep you in chains. It's to keep you in your place, peasant. You know? It's that it's that kind of mentality. Know your place. You are not the top of the pyramid. You are not the the patriarchy. You are not the, the church authorities. You are not the the the senate, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. And Yeah. Again, like church like the word church, I think it comes from Kirk, doesn't it? I think it's a Scottish word Kirk.
[02:39:11] Unknown:
John Yeah. I mean, I think it originally meant circle because gatherings would take place in in circles.
[02:39:18] Unknown:
From Circe. And all that kind of stuff. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That makes sense.
[02:39:22] Unknown:
You know, we've all grown up with them everywhere, and you didn't question it at this level of detail when you were 10. And if it not been for someone like Tyndale and others no one ever nobody ever would have. I mean when they were putting the King James Bible together, right? James insisted that the word church went in. Now he didn't that's why it's got the word church in it all over the place shouldn't be in there. Why? Because someone's got to be the head of it right? Who would that be? Oh James. Oh that's nice isn't that neat? And then he can control all these priestly classes.
This stuff, the actual reading of scripture is a warning against this stuff. But people go oh you don't want to read that bible thing because you're going to end up going to a church and you go holy moly you see how it gets? That's not what it says. But because nobody could read it back then cause it's all in bloody Latin you had to go listen to some bloke who'd been, you know, this that and the other. And this dynamic here, just in this arena, is exactly the same dynamic in politics, it's in banking. We end up with these, self appointed elites that have assumed authority over the whole thing. They go through all these training systems where they learn their obedience to the power structure because they're okay with that, they're going to be in charge of it and get paid well and get to talk a lot and their egos get fed. And this is the very stuff that the scriptures warns against. You don't have any titles, right? None of you, none of you, forget all that kind of stuff. And is this not what we fight against is spiritual wickedness in high places? The high place, you know, one of the things I used to say as a kid, I did say this when I was really young when I was about 14. I'd say, if you were the devil, if you go for that just this as an analogy. Right? If where would you hang out?
I go, where would you hang out? You'll hang out in the last place anybody would think of looking. Where's that? Church. Wouldn't you? Wouldn't you? Yeah. Because And you sit there because you'd want It's soft kill. It's nudging. They've nudged for two thousand years. And and everybody's become accustomed to this, and government have been nudging us with democracy for four hundred years or however long this garbage has been going around. And all it is, state and church are the same thing.
[02:41:30] Unknown:
Can I give you another example? Yep. Can I give you another one which which is in the same vein? Right? Heaven and hell. Heaven and hell. Right? So Christians think that there's a heaven in the afterlife and there's a hell in the afterlife. Right? Nowhere in the Bible, Old Testament or new does it mention heaven or hell is a place. Heaven or hell and and you look, anyone can read the gospels and and confirm this, right? The the the the Jewish, the Old Testament, things like that, there was Sheol. In other words, when you die, they put you on the ground, and that hole in the ground. Right? That that's Sheol or or or Hades as if Mhmm. They put you on the ground. They bury you. Right? That's that's it. That's it. That's the afterlife. They put you in the ground. They put you in the earth. Heaven and hell correctly interpreted from from from all scripture, old testament, and new testament is a state of mind.
It's it's a perception. It's how you project your mind out. And Jesus, many times, they they provide you with the solution. The solution to to what you're looking for is to change your perception. Right? You don't wanna go to hell, which is very good advice. Change your perception. Change the way you think. What is he saying? Be critical in your thoughts. Right? Be mindful of your thoughts. Go out there and and employ care and compassion and things like that. Yes. But also be critical. You know? He didn't he didn't get the reputation he got by being noncritical. You know? I'm just thinking of the the the money changes and overturning the tables. That was a bit critical, wasn't it? That was a bit do you know what I mean? So so, you know, there's things like this and and just like the word church has been has been added into the what did it come through in the Volgate or something like that? I think it was added and then and then the King James version after that.
[02:43:05] Unknown:
I'm not I'm not certain of that. But anyway It's a great way to control your congregation to get them fearful of stuff. Right? Yeah. So it's just they it's not that those conditions don't exist, but they amplify for their own ends. And I agree. It's like directions. You create a hellish day or you create a heavenly one. And and if you're in charge, you'll learn from that. You go, oh god, I'm getting my ass kicked again but I bloody well deserve it because I've I've sloped off. I went to sleep. I decided to not pretend. I just thought I'd just, you know, eat some cookies instead of actually dealing with what I am supposed to do. That's one of my problems. Right? Cookies get in the way. But, it's just I know. It's the case.
And and the thing about, you know, you you mentioned Jehovah's Witnesses. I was talking about it last week or something. I think I was. Mhmm. I actually bumped into some the other day. I thought, well, they're always knocking on my door. I'm gonna and they were down on the seafront. So you didn't hear the show. So I thought, I'm gonna knock on yours, you know, metaphorically. So I sat down and looked at it. They loved that though. They want you to do that. You just fall in straight to your street. I loved it. I had a different ham. Right? I didn't go in there all steaming and all that. I put a different ham. I'd I'd go, right, I'm gonna play a different role now. It's like an actor. You gotta do it. It's like it's like when you're on the reform thing. You're gonna go to the meetings. It's I guess that's what I do with the churches because of I I wanna see how it works, how they're doing it, how they're using psychology to the exact We're spies. We're going in there to research. It's not what they do to us. Yeah. Right? You gotta go in and suss out why they're thinking the way they're thinking and why they to it because I said we'd we'd be, you wanna be in favor of God? He'll smile upon you for doing that. I said because these you know, it's all a different aspect of it. Money, your spirit with the religion thing, the law, these are the rules. They're all man made. What's the thing that Christ bangs on about? Rightly so. He's talking about he's attacking those that have basically put all their loyalty in the traditions of men.
Well, that's what we're talking about here. The authority,
[02:45:22] Unknown:
basically.
[02:45:23] Unknown:
Absolutely. He said, you know, you can't hear what I'm saying because you're not my sheep. You don't understand this because you've not got to a point of basically casting off this man made crap, right, which is causing all the problems. You'll never see it. They go, well, no. We're priests. We get paid loads of money. Why would we? Exactly. Hold on. Hold on then. Here's another one for you then. Right? Again, sorry. This is this again, this is not an attack on Christianity. This is an attack on on the church. It's on and it's an attack on that system. Right? What what is it that that he says repeatedly?
[02:45:53] Unknown:
That you can only come through the father through like sort of sorry I'm pickling the words now. No one comes to the father except through me right? So where do the priestly plus get the idea that they then can represent God? Look look at the, you know, the Bishop of Rome. Exactly. Right? You know, he's God's representative on Earth. Well, hang on a minute. I know. That's not what was said. I don't recognize your authority, mister Pope, because that is not what I'm about. Right? I'd I'm if I see Christ, I'm not gonna go with your church and your authorities and your and your, you know, miter wearing well, I gotta I gotta be careful what I say. I'm gonna offend the bloody church now. But again, it's it's things that have been massively taken out of context and and and usurped. It's been usurped. I thought I I think we'll go for that one. You know?
[02:46:42] Unknown:
Completely accurate in my in my view. I have to keep tagging that on there. But I think Yeah. Yeah. I agree. You know it's just about getting clarity. If Tyndale's a good one for everybody. I've got a little booklet of his to download where he attacks all the priests. I can't wait to read it. It's about a 100 pages and I ain't got it yet. But I'm gonna I'm gonna go into that because he's awesome. I mean he also wrote this thing where he said, the Hebrew and the Greek agreeeth with the English 1,000 fold more than doth the Latin.
Oh. Right. It's got another you see Okay. My view of, it's the the Roman thing is the Roman Empire. Instead of centurions they just basically morphed into a psychological conditioning system and they used- Constantine said- I mean when they had the thing he said it's gonna be like I say it again, who the hell are you? Who the bloody hell- bugger off, we're not interested. And that's why they had to do it and then they rope everybody in. It's a bit like with software, right, and the Internet. I'm serious, right? If you think about the early days of the Internet, everybody was doing their own thing. It was brilliant, right? News groups, email groups, the lot. Just completely wide open. Absolutely fantastic. Now all these companies have come in and go, we are the official deliverers of email or your email's unsafe, that you're you're a threat to everybody else. The whole fear conditioning has come in now. It's got it's morphed to exactly where they want it to. You need an ID, a digital ID, which we've secretly been building in the background all the time to be able to exist on this system which was given to everybody freely in the 90s and they've now decided that it's theirs. And this is the same thing with Christ's teachings given to everybody that's got ears to hear and they go, oh no, you actually need us because we're we've read it better than you And, it needs to be like this. And you need to pay us for it as well. And I need a big hat. And we're gonna sing songs and all this other stuff, which will get you not thinking about the what's actually in the documents. So people don't know what it is. Yeah. They don't even know what it is. Their their instruction manual, they don't even read it. What's the bloody point of having it if you can't it's amazing.
[02:48:46] Unknown:
Well, exactly. That's true. That's true. That's amazing. The idea, wasn't it? You can't confuse their tongues and confuse the life out of people. You know? It's things like that that that Mhmm. They know that that works. And, I mean, speaking about the Internet, though, just segueing off again. I mean, I think the whole idea is, you're right. It was brilliant in the beginning because there was free, free thought. There was there was free ideas. There was, you know, creativity. Then the big companies come in. Again, I'm gonna use the word usurped. Again, it's not like it was deliberate or anything. It definitely was. The everything is now commercialized and compartmentalized and censored.
Right? So as much as, you know, I mean, we're on we're on a platform. I I I like YouTube. I don't I don't like the company. I don't like Google. I don't like alphabet. I don't like what they're doing. I don't like the censorship. I do like the access to the information that that with it being easily accessible. And, yeah, who cares a lot of crap out there? But equally, there's there's still a lot that you can learn from from platforms like this. But the more it becomes censored, the less access to information we've got, the less enlightened we become. And and I've got a massive problem with that, especially when they are now effectively selling it to us. Right? They're selling us censorship, and we're buying into it. They sell us antiviruses for viruses that that that the operating system creators produced so that they could sell you an extra product to reinforce their existing product. Right? This this is not these things don't happen by accident. They are all planned well in advance. They know that the internet was going to be successful if they could get people invested into it. So so all of the website designers came in all of these small corporations and there's still a fair amount out there just unfortunately the shadowban, they're they're they're difficult to find and we're told that it's dangerous if it doesn't have a lock on the bloody on the search screen and stuff like that. It's exactly the same principle as what we're talking about with with statism and religion and money and all of the rest of it. It. They've took something. They've got people invested into it, and then they bring in the big boys, and then they're like, oh, well, for your safety, we have to do that. And for and, you know, and, oh, for your security, we'll just bring in these measures. And don't worry, we know that it's a problem having 6,000 different, password and log on things. So now we're gonna get you hooked on your phone to give you a one time password that you can't log on without.
It's ridiculous. I could go on and on and on about this because it drives me up the bloody wall. Where did people think this was gonna end up? Of course it was gonna lead to digital IDs.
[02:51:01] Unknown:
That was the whole point. That's what it's been structured around, you know? I mean Of course. Yeah. Yeah. It has. We've had we've had a good run. We've had a very good run for our money and we wouldn't be having this conversation if it hadn't been for that initial period of being able to connect people with all this stuff. And some of us, many of us, have used the Internet really for what I always thought it was which was to tunnel into this hitherto hidden information and start to go bloody hell I don't know what's going on. And in other words people like us and the listeners here are people I guess in the in the main are prepared to say you know what yesterday I was an idiot I didn't know this stuff I'm prepared to be wrong I'm prepared to be okay with being you prove me wrong you'll be doing me a favor because I don't want to be stupid and if you can educate me out of my stupidity thank you very much. That's a different action. Most people go no I'm right you can't tell me anything. You go well you're right you you you that's gonna come true.
Okay well we discussed with the intelligence for forever.
[02:51:59] Unknown:
Yeah but it's it's alright so well okay let's I think Etta mentioned this as well you know prove me wrong right Which is great. It's that that's brilliant. What's wrong with being wrong? Right? Do we not learn from mistakes? Is is that not how how learn you know, learning is a difficult thing. Right? If it's not if it's not difficult, you're not doing it right in my opinion. That if you if you're doing it the lazy way, you're not really learning. You're not challenging yourself. You know, I I used to be, afraid of being wrong because it's, oh, I'm gonna get embarrassed. I have to be right. Well, hang on a minute. If if you take the mindset of I cannot be wrong because me bad or me embarrassed, okay, well, then you're not gonna learn anything, are you really? You've you've stunted your own growth at that point. I don't mind being wrong because it leads to better outcomes because then I can learn from that. And this is the this is the thing that everybody, especially in the truth movement, needs to get their heads around. It's okay to be wrong.
It's it's not a crime. Right? It's not a it's we've gotta get over this. And I know we've discussed this on, in previous shows as well, mate. And I think it's absolutely right, but isn't that all part of the whole process of critical thinking, learning, and evolving? Isn't that the whole point? Yeah. I I totally agree. And also to admit that you may not know, that you don't know the answer, but you're willing to find out. Brilliant. Or if whatever of whatever evidence they may want to provide,
[02:53:14] Unknown:
you'll consider. Yep. Look it up, and then you could come back and say, you know what? You were right. And people like and see this it gives you, the person who's admitting, hey. I I may not know everything. It gives you more credibility. Yeah. When you're open to say, okay. Yeah. I I may not agree with you on 99% of what you're saying, but that 1%, you are correct. I agree with you on that or whatever. You know? If you've got if you've got humility
[02:53:38] Unknown:
and honesty and and you're genuine and you your integrity pokes through, if you can prove that that you've learned from your mistakes, that everyone makes mistakes, everyone screws up, everyone's got a past, everyone right. Okay. Let let we're all human, But it's okay because we're all in that boat together, literally. Right? And so Absolutely. So then and and so, I mean, the points that you've raised tonight have have been absolutely fantastic. And, again, if people can just get their heads around that, we can we we can we can turn this around.
[02:54:06] Unknown:
You know? Yeah. I I think so too. I think so too. I just wanna let you know my phone's gonna die, so I do have to go. But it was great meeting you all. Thank you for joining us, by the way. Lovely to have you with us, Esa. You can come anytime. Thank you for having me on, Paul. Okay. Alright. Take care. Thanks, Berta. Yes. Take care. You too. Okay. Fantastic. Bye for now. Bye bye.
[02:54:26] Unknown:
That that was good. I I like that. I like it when when we get people to to join in because it it it adds, like, another dimension to the conversation. It can it it's nice to to get a bit of insight as well. So that was that was brilliant.
[02:54:38] Unknown:
Yeah. It means we can get to be wrong about things, which is good. Yeah. Maybe the phrase is is right to be is right to be wrong and, something like that. But yeah, I I I it's it's as if the complications that are given to us by priestly classes, whether in the field of religion or democracy, so called in politics and banking, are intentionally complicated so that you can't understand it. I mean if you want to talk to people about banking you just watch the blood drain from their face. I don't blame them. If you I mean anybody that's even looked at economics papers and what they're talking about you're going what the bloody hell is all this about? Well, it's a justification for their continued salaries.
We need brainier and brainier people to keep over complicating the issue. There isn't a problem with the economy, there's a problem with the banking system. Oh, you whoever talks about that? No one. When? Never.
[02:55:33] Unknown:
Just before we sorry. I know we've got about six minutes left. Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do It's who's using it and what it's being used for and how it's being used against us. That's the problem, not not not the technology in and of itself. And it's the same with AI. Right? AI is not the problem. It's what is being used for, and it's how it's being used. And so what I'm gonna say here is we we talk a lot about critical thinking and mind traps and and the psychology behind all this, and we're looking at science. Okay. That that's great.
What are we what are we doing with AI? And, you know, you know, ten years ago, twenty years ago, no people like David Eichl was saying, you know, they're gonna bring in AI, and it's gonna do your thinking for you. And people are like, no. No. No. That that's that's not gonna happen. What are you doing, people? Right? You chat GPT. Yeah. Okay. I see the benefits of it. But, unfortunately, now now everything is is, oh, I'm just gonna ask the AI. I'm gonna ask Alexa. I'm gonna ask chat GPT. I'm gonna ask blah blah blah blah. It it's doing your thinking for you. Right? And and it's like, oh, well, I can produce an AI book and publish it overnight. Well, that's very nice, but you're not thinking, and it's not really an intellectual property. You're not making any strides forwards. That's not a good thing. Right? Fine. Get statistics and stuff from AI. I don't I don't mind that, but but people are now relying heavily on AI, for answers.
[02:56:54] Unknown:
And what's the ruling into like the people, Nathan, that have relied heavily on guidance from human authority systems? Yeah. Exactly. You see, I I think it's an attitudinal thing with certainly with me. It's like I ain't listening to no one who says that they're my boss.
[02:57:09] Unknown:
That's
[02:57:10] Unknown:
it. Sorry, but I'll talk to you as an equal even if I'm the thicker of the two communicators. I I don't mind being thick, but you if you won't let me ask questions. I've never used a AI. No worries. I've used I've used an AI Still getting emails the best thing since sliced bread. That's how completely wonky I am. What's the point of it? I saw something today about the the damage that is people are getting sucked in. There was a guy testifying in the in The States that his son had been talking to this chat GPT thing that as it or whatever it was, one of them. He got to such a state, he actually advised him and told him how to kill himself and he did. Yep. Yeah. 11 to 12 years of age. This is this is sick, but it's gonna keep happening because people keep assigning authority to somebody else outside of themselves.
And and this is you just don't need all this stuff until you're after 14. When up to 14, you're a different kind of animal altogether. You're wide open. It's brilliant, but you can't that's why they interfere with kids from five years. What's that? Give me a child from five and he's ours for life. Oh, thanks very much. Great. That's good. That's gonna help. I was a Jesuit. That was oh, I forgot his I forgot his name.
[02:58:20] Unknown:
It it what is It is one of them. It don't matter. You don't need to know his name. We don't we've gotta do his call because it's a problem. Embarrass them yourself now. Right. It'll come to me, but obviously not not tonight. But anyway, it was it was a Jesuit. You know, give me a five give me a child until the age of, like, seven, and I can I can show you the model or something like that? Yeah. But effectively, what it's saying is give me an impressionable child that hasn't figured things out for himself, and I and I'll mold them to to to my particular philosophy. And and, you know, it's it's it's manipulative. But just just going back to the AI AI thing. Sorry. I'm speaking because I'm aware of the time running out. It's again, look at who's programmed the initial algorithms into AI. If if you think AI is is your friend and it's and it's doing, you know, it's giving you all the stuff that you need, remember who put that together. Remember that there is still a set of programs running in the background that tells it what it can and cannot tell you or what it you know, I mean, it's it's it's it's malevolent. And I'm not saying don't use it. I think we're we're far too late to say that now. Just be mindful and don't rely on it. Don't rely on it. Yeah. I I agree with you. I think each individual's gonna have to deal with that the way they go. If you think about the way our life goes,
[02:59:30] Unknown:
and you think of the the economic imperative, you see, is we need more efficiency. We need more speed. And people have bought into this thing. We don't. Yep. You think and and if you're in some really old was the guy. Is that yeah. I don't know what the Ignatius Loyola? Is that the Yeah. I don't think he said it, but he's the founder of the Jesuit order. But I I I it don't matter who said it. Some Yeah. One of them said it. Right? Who's bothered what his name is? It don't matter. Yeah. We all know the quote. And I think but if you think about this thing about this economic imperative, so everybody's bought into the idea that we're supposed to keep speeding things up and and it's for economic efficiency. None of those efficiencies translate into bettering your life. They never ever have. It's got nothing to do with it. And so people are thinking well I've got to get on AI because everybody else is on it. If you want to sort of for me personally if I want to be in the presence of people who think I go and read things that were written in the 1800s.
I'm serious. Why? Because people are still going around on horses. What does that mean? It means things were slower. The thoughtfulness of people back in those years, the ones that could write, is off the charts compared to the thoughtfulness of today. Everything is trite and everything. We're at the end anyway. We can turn this on next thing. Nathan, it's been brilliant.
[03:00:42] Unknown:
You've got fifteen seconds. Okay. There we go. Just just look at the word thought fullness. Right? I'll I'll just leave it at that. Anyway, thanks mate. Thanks for having me on. Sorry to Thanks everyone.
[03:00:51] Unknown:
Yeah. Thank you, Eric. Thanks, Etzer. Thanks, Etta. Thanks, Etta. Just a pleasure for being here. Yeah. It's been brilliant. Really enjoyed it tonight, Nathan. Gotta get you back again in a few weeks, and we'll get Steve as well in a few weeks time as well. Fake Awake is Nathan's book. I've put the link up. Look for it on Amazon, and get whatever version you like. Thanks very much, everybody. We'll be back again, same time next week. Okay? Keep good. God bless, everybody.
