00:03:02.000On the line, we've got Joe, we've got Massey.
00:03:03.000We're going to talk about that Iranian revolution, try and understand that for a bit.
00:03:06.000We'll be talking about the death of that lady or murder, depends how you see it.
00:03:10.000In fact, we're going to be talking about the divisiveness and try and understand or see or determine whether or not there's a way through it.
00:03:17.000Let us know in the comments and chat what you want to talk about, though.
00:03:24.000Okay, let's look at some legacy media reporting on the subject so we can at least see what they're saying and try and determine what they want us to think.
00:03:35.000You know, I guess, look, you could regard it as the people of Iran want to return to a 1970s style secularized Iran where they have the privilege of like going to Dior or buying a McDonald's or whatever.
00:03:53.000you know, systems of mass centralized government don't seem to be working particularly well, whether it's under the auspices of secularism, like in the United Kingdom, that's sliding towards tyranny in ways that you're aware of, although that digital ID program's been scrapped.
00:04:07.000Well done, if you were one of the people that actively protested against that, probably more important that you actively protest and protest online.
00:04:14.000Let me know in the comments and chat what do you think.
00:04:15.000Where do you think these decisions are made now?
00:04:18.000Are they made in some ethereal realm difficult to access except through prayer or your version of prayer?
00:04:26.000Anyway, before we get into the metaphysics of it, let's look first of all at Iran, then we'll look at Minneapolis, then we'll have a bit of a laugh, then we'll promote polymarkets, promote some of our own stuff and all.
00:04:37.000We'll be on with our little, I'll be on our merry little wave.
00:04:40.000One thing I can tell you now is you can tip us with Bitcoin.
00:04:44.000If that's what you want to do, why not tip us with Bitcoin?
00:05:54.000I have five options that are so strong.
00:05:57.000So, I mean, if they did that, it'll be met with a very, very powerful force.
00:06:03.000In Iran, state media, the only media amid the communications blackout, is telling Iranians the government is in full control.
00:06:11.000In a general way, when people report on instances in foreign countries and they say, state media, the only media, as if elsewhere you have access to all sorts of information, I think it's always wise to bear in mind that stratified information applies wherever you are.
00:06:31.000If you're in China, you only get the information they want you to have in China.
00:06:34.000If you're in the UK, you only really get the types of information they're happy with you having in the UK.
00:06:39.000Or certainly they're involved now in the process of ensuring that.
00:06:43.000And the same is true to a degree in the US.
00:06:45.000Although it perhaps exists within a larger overt window, indeed, isn't that the nature of the culture war?
00:06:52.000That you can look at the same incident, literally you can look at footage of the same incident when it comes to the death of the young woman there, good was her surname.
00:07:01.000And some people can absolutely verify that it was brutality on the part of the state.
00:07:06.000And other people can completely say hand on heart that the woman's actions were deserving or at least the ICE agent was warranted.
00:07:14.000Let me know in the comments and chat where you stand on that.
00:07:16.000But remember that whatever side of the argument you stand on, you have to check your own biases and prejudices, as the old woke postmodern brigades used to say before they were rinsed into annihilation by the rising tide of MAGA nationalism.
00:07:29.000But nevertheless, the tools of discernment that they offered, like the compassion that woke is contains, better accessed through Christ, are of some value.
00:07:39.000And when we look at these events in Iran, let's try and keep a handle on at least what is it they want us to think about this.
00:07:46.000Because say for example, when I read how AI pre-sees the assets that we're using for the story, check it out.
00:07:52.000This is a brilliant description, but also you can tell where the biases want to lead you from the way that certain characters and participants in the story are highlighted in a positive way.
00:08:03.000The assets collectively frame Iran as a regime under pressure responding to growing protests with lethal force while escalating tensions with the United States.
00:08:13.000That already tells you lethal force, that's pejorative to the Iranian state, and it accredits them, or at least blames them, with escalating tensions with the U.S. You know, in a sense, whatever's going on in Iran, there's no question the United States of America is more powerful than Iran.
00:08:29.000And if there's a dispute between me and a less powerful entity, you've got to be somewhat sympathetic towards the less powerful entity, regardless of the circumstances and the truth of the situation.
00:08:40.000There has to be sympathy, doesn't there?
00:08:41.000Like if I was arguing, I don't know, with a dog or a mouse or something, and I was saying this mouse is a right little bastard.
00:08:47.000At some point you'd go, well, it's a mouse though, Russell.
00:08:52.000Why are you venting all these grievances on that mouse?
00:09:21.000Footage of the crackdown establishes the severity of the unrest, followed by Trump meeting senior military leaders and issuing a Leave Iran Now warning reinforced by his true social post declaring the US locked and loaded.
00:09:33.000Certainly, as I continue to try to understand what Trump is and what Trump means, I recognize that my initial instincts when meeting Donald Trump probably 20 years ago now were correct.
00:09:56.000You can't be full of doubt and inner turmoil, friction and tension, and Trump is not.
00:10:02.000Trump has a sort of beautiful certainty that supersedes even whether things are morally ambivalent or it's difficult to detect what the right outcome would be.
00:10:13.000And that in itself is powerful because in a fractured and fragmented time where everyone's got an opinion and everyone is divided, the certainty of Trump is appealing and attractive and continues to be.
00:10:24.000And if this is going to be the system, i.e. great big populations of 330 million people centrally organized by a massive government and, you know, to a degree, devolved through state authorities, if you want to stick with that system, you need people like Trump.
00:10:40.000The best the left is offering is, what, I don't know, AOC, Gavin Newsom, is that the sort of thing you want?
00:11:00.000Alongside this geopolitical escalation, Elon Musk's decision to activate Starlink, so it looks good for Musk, for free positions, external tech as a lifeline, or positions external tech as a lifeline against the regime's internet blackout.
00:11:14.000The Imam clip exposes the ideological brutality underpinning the system.
00:11:18.000So, right, yeah, it is pretty good that Elon Musk's given them access to Starlink.
00:11:23.000I'm still not entirely certain about the origins of the social uprest and unrest and uprising.
00:11:30.000Is it generally, we the people of Iran demand the right to buy a variety of different shoes and cornflakes?
00:11:38.000Let me know in the comments and shout.
00:11:40.000Iran's government has tried for weeks now to quell the growing protest movement fueled by economic unrest.
00:11:46.000The heavy-handed response has reportedly killed hundreds.
00:11:49.000Airstripes would be one of the many, many options that are on the table for the commander-in-chief.
00:11:54.000At the White House today, they're talking about options, with the president sitting down with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Pentagon Brass.
00:12:01.000But don't expect a public declaration.
00:12:04.000And so, what President Trump will do next, only he knows, so the world will have to keep waiting and guessing.
00:12:09.000The U.S. government has a clear warning for any citizens in Iran.
00:12:31.000It's just a question of whether change occurs because the regime decides it must change itself to survive, or the people change it, or change occurs because of U.S. military action.
00:12:42.000But if the U.S. intervenes, the president may have a tough time selling it to many of his supporters who reject foreign entanglements.
00:12:49.000The more isolationist MAGA base is going to need to be really pulled along to help them understand why the U.S. is getting involved in this way in the Middle East.
00:13:08.000We'll be talking to Max Kaiser tomorrow, the Bitcoin expert and El Salvadorian ambassador for all things crypto, although he doesn't even like that phrase cryptocurrency.
00:13:16.000He's so down with it actually only being Bitcoin and Bitcoin exclusively.
00:13:46.000I was looking at my ex-feed, and a lot of high-profile people that I sort of follow, say John Cleese, the great genius from Monty Python, or Graham Linehan, the Irish writer of basically just comedy writers.
00:14:14.000I know that I understood from that news report: economic civil unrest provoked by economic conditions.
00:14:21.000But if that's the problem, why is there not more civil unrest in the United Kingdom where economic conditions are more punitive than they've been for, gosh, certainly since the 1970s?
00:15:10.000You don't really know what's going on on the ground because what gets everyone out on the streets, it can be something completely different.
00:15:14.000There's women out there taking the hijab off, but apparently what's kicked it off has been economic.
00:15:19.000But then the argument is: well, the US sanctions that have been put on the country have been so horrendous that it's going to exacerbate any economic situation.
00:15:26.000But the big thing going on right now is whether their leader is going to execute a protester, a guy of like 24, who's going to be like executed, publicly hanged today, which they still do that stuff, like public hanging.
00:16:20.000I'm not sort of a super Sharia law type person.
00:16:22.000I don't reckon that Islamic state solutions are really ultimately tenable.
00:16:28.000But the history, even the recent history of Iran has been so sort of convoluted, complex, and so continually subject to intervention, interventionism, and undeclared economic interests, it's difficult to make an assessment without being glib.
00:16:41.000But glib assessments do seem to be the order of the day these days.
00:16:46.000You know, there'll be people, I reckon, that know less than me.
00:18:03.000Like when you think about it, honestly, don't you care a lot more about stuff that's happening in your actual life than the Iranian revolution?
00:18:10.000Like imagine if we went, listen, we can save that geezer from hanging on a crane or you can have in your bank account right now $100,000.
00:20:04.000Why I love that is whenever there's scriptural reference, not whenever, but on the few occasions where I've noticed it, Daniel, Ezekiel, where like celestial entities mark stuff off and measure things.
00:20:14.000I feel like they're establishing not only the particular proportions of whatever's being measured, but systems of metrics themselves.
00:20:31.000How do you understand vengeance or hate or truth or justice or any of these principles or any of these words that you think you understand to the degree where you might even get them tattooed on your skin?
00:20:48.000God's getting on the front foot with Job now.
00:20:50.000Having put him through, or allowing the devil at least, to put Job through a few tests involving losing everything and getting a pretty bad skin disease.
00:20:58.000Surely you know who stretched a measuring line across it.
00:21:05.000Or who laid its cornerstone while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy.
00:21:12.000And I suppose that's the fundamental question.
00:21:13.000The atheists and the secularists believe that the rules of nature are self-contained, that nature, whether that's the cosmos or microbiology, come from itself and all of its rules are interconnected.
00:21:26.000The religious person or the theist believes that there has to have been some moment of creation or at least there is something outside of and beyond the rules of nature.
00:21:35.000And obviously scripture being a religious document attests that there is a God, a mind, a power, a truth, a spirit that establishes these rules.
00:21:45.000And let me just ask you some secondary questions.
00:21:59.000You're fucked, you're double-fucked, you're triple-triple, quadruple, octo-fucked, unless you accept God right now.
00:22:05.000Nothing you're offered, not money, not fame, not sex, not power, not fantastic new Jordans that are wrapped in cellophane and there's only one pair of them in the world, are going to do anything for you.
00:22:14.000Not only that, not the Ferrari, not the children, not the love, not the dog, not the cat, not the pets, not the high-rise, not the low times.
00:22:27.000That's going to be $5 a month for the privilege.
00:22:30.000Now, let's have a look at Polymarket right now, baby, because this is an aggregation of people's intelligence.
00:22:36.000I suppose along the lines of Malcolm Gladwell's, you know, if we all guess how many beans are in the jar, our average guess will be closer to the number than any individual guess, which is a sort of an argument for collective and aggregated intelligence versus divine principle, because Malcolm Gladwell is a secular, he's what you might call a secular prophet.
00:22:57.000I saw him jogging in Central Park one time.
00:23:40.000So what, like you look at that and you can go, well, I think it's going to happen on that Iranian airstrikes will take place on the 31st of March and you can sort of bet $100 on it.
00:23:50.000And if that does happen, you'll win money.
00:23:53.000But how do you feel like if you're watching the news and it's like, today in Tehran, under the rubble, we discovered a kindergarten.
00:24:00.000And, like, you'll go, like, well, I've got good odds on that.
00:24:34.000Like, Tate goes, like, he does a fight, but he's sort of paying for the fight, funding the fight, so setting up the press conference and everything.
00:24:42.000And it's sort of indiscernible and indecipherable from UFC or whatever.
00:24:46.000But of course, the UFC, you know, was once a construct.
00:24:50.000But any guild or any, you know, when you watch a movie like Gangs of New York, the brilliant Scorsese movie, you see how simultaneously the police departments emerging, the fire departments emerging along with gangs and stuff.
00:25:05.000And the reason your country, America, is so fantastic and exciting is because it's rich and resourceful and recent.
00:25:14.000So you can sort of feel and see its tendrils into the past.
00:25:18.000You can sort of still feel the furriers and the railroads and the gold prospectors and the Rockefellers and the Carnegies.
00:25:26.000And you can feel that there's this big throbbing protein mass that could sort of still go anywhere.
00:25:31.000And you know where I think it should go.
00:25:33.000Decentralization, the radical use of the technology that's being used to control you and monitor you turned around on them.
00:25:40.000Transparency for them, autonomy for you.
00:25:43.000And the very technology that polymarket are using to aggregate when Tehran might suffer, you know, a rain of brimstone and sulphur from above could be used to determine how much money it's spent on hospitals, how much money to spend on schools.
00:25:57.000And indeed, whether or not you think that lady, good was her surname at least, deserved to die in the manner that she did.
00:26:05.000You could certainly be running city-state principalities democratically and directly, which would be favourable.
00:26:13.000So next time there's a war somewhere to bring democracy to some far-flung country populated by the brown, you could say, well, we do believe in democracy because we actually are doing democracy.
00:26:25.000And that's why, that's the thing I believe in most of all, direct democracy where possible, using the technology that's currently being used to spy on us.
00:27:52.000Your country is divided by events in Minneapolis, but your country is continually divided.
00:27:56.000It's as if the culture is a machine that you can chuck anything into.
00:27:59.000Let's throw in Carl Rittenhouse and see that guy get shredded up.
00:28:03.000Toss in George Floyd, see him get shredded up.
00:28:06.000Toss in this lady that's got murdered by ICE or killed lawfully, dependent on how you regard law enforcement to be undertaken.
00:28:15.000Let me know in the comments and chat or indeed on Polymarket how you feel you want people to be executed.
00:28:20.000Now, of course, there's lots of ways to look at this story.
00:28:25.000Let us look at it together and start with two polarized views, one from the left, one from the right, to see if we're capable of finding a deeper truth.
00:28:34.000Let's establish: is there such a thing as deep truth?
00:28:37.000Remember, we just had that verse from Job there where the Lord says, What are you talking about?
00:29:10.000It reminds me a bit of that YouTuber called WTF who will take something like the moon landings and go, those moonlandings were definitely faked.
00:29:18.000And then he'll like do 10 minutes and he'll convince you.
00:29:20.000And you're by the end of it, oh man, those moonlanders were faked.
00:29:22.000And then you go, but alternatively, look.
00:29:24.000And you go, oh, no, no, them moonlandings happen.
00:29:26.000He could keep you like that for hours and hours, this guy.
00:29:28.000You should have a look at his YouTube.
00:30:01.000Missouri, she is in a totally different state looking for trouble, intentionally breaking the law.
00:30:09.000But when they were saying that about Kyle Rittenhouse, the people that wanted Carl Rittenhouse to be wrong were like, well, why was he there?
00:30:14.000He went and got a gun and he went there.
00:30:16.000So people, and I reckon the same people would have to make the reverse arguments.
00:30:20.000That's what's sort of exciting about now.
00:30:22.000Since the ascent of MAGA, you're seeing people say free speech stuff that's really confusing for me.
00:30:28.000Like, you can't just, free speech doesn't mean the right to hurt people's feelings.
00:30:32.000You're seeing it all like flip and stuff.
00:30:34.000Now, let's have a look at, you know, remember, this woman is, she's dead now.
00:31:27.000I don't think she was men who have said.
00:31:29.000I think someone else, like her friends, did drive, baby drive.
00:31:31.000What I do recognize is that I reckon if you're a person that believes that the ICE investigations and expatriations are wrong, you probably are to some degree, I pray, motivated by compassion.
00:31:45.000Like that, oh, these people, they're over here, they've got rights.
00:31:48.000But surely you would have to acknowledge that the election of Trump was on a significant mandate that was oriented towards expatriation of migrants.
00:31:57.000Trump couldn't have been clearer about we're kicking migrants out day one.
00:32:02.000And he won that election, unless you dispute that.
00:32:05.000I mean, that's the other thing, isn't it?
00:32:11.000And the reason I did, I see now, is I'm very, very angry with the way that reality is being run by corrupt institutions.
00:32:19.000And before, my biases were it's because of a total lack of compassion and it's because of corporatism and commercialism and globalism.
00:32:26.000And that was very left-wing at that time.
00:32:29.000Now, of course, I still feel many of the same feelings, actually, but I believe that it's beyond the purview of left and right, and that there are sets of interests that are happy to endlessly divide us that benefit regardless of which team is in the ascendancy.
00:32:46.000Kind of a, you might say a George Carlin or even Noam Chomsky style take before this is Noam Chomsky before he got Epstein off in the island of Pinocchios.
00:32:57.000What I mean to say is that there was a time where the left's righteousness was a facsimile of Christ's compassion.
00:33:05.000And one might consider that many of us that are Christian and associated with the right don't do enough to afford Christ's compassion, his love of the dispossessed, the foreigner, the alien, the stranger, the wanderer.
00:33:19.000These are all specific scriptural dictums and that that deficit has to be taken up because the law is the law.
00:33:26.000And I don't mean man's law now, I mean God's law.
00:33:28.000The law, the law of I am, is an expression of righteousness.
00:33:33.000It's not an external cage or imposed structure.
00:33:36.000So if the governing don't express the level of compassion that Christ would if he were in his throne, then the culture will express that deficit elsewhere.
00:33:47.000Do you understand what I'm trying to say?
00:34:09.000She's already dead and he's still bitching her off.
00:34:11.000You can see she very clearly looks at him, she acknowledges, she's smiling at him.
00:34:16.000I wouldn't be comfortable doing that on a dead lady's face myself.
00:34:19.000person playing at him this isn't somebody who's scared at least they don't look scared oh no i didn't mean that I was just pausing.
00:34:31.000All right, so that's an appraisal from the right, obviously.
00:34:35.000Here's the same footage covered by someone from the left.
00:34:39.000And it's pretty amazing to see the disparity that the same sort of this is the point I'm trying to make.
00:34:45.000The same source material can be used to generate a variety of emotions.
00:34:50.000And I want you to hold that paradigm in mind while you're experiencing whatever you experience in accordance with your own biases.
00:34:57.000Let me know in the comments and chat how you're feeling.
00:34:59.000The car turning right from the other angle as Ross steps out of the path of the vehicle.
00:35:03.000The moment before the car purportedly hits him, if you synchronize the footage with the other angle, you can see that he was already outside of the path of the car.
00:35:11.000It only looks like he was hit because this is from the same angle as a Hollywood film would shoot an action scene to make it look like a punch connects with an actor's face.
00:35:18.000Love that, because if you were doing that in a Hollywood film, that's sort of deliberately to misrepresent reality or to create a favorable illusion.
00:36:17.000And he's highlights someone's legs in white.
00:36:19.000Look at the media landscape we live in.
00:36:21.000With something so granular where every pixel can be scrutinized, how can there ever be consensus again?
00:36:27.000Particularly, how can there be consensus again when we reject the idea of an absolute truth in favor of endless preference, endless argument?
00:36:36.000How could we ever again have a consensus on how to run Minneapolis, let alone the United States of America?
00:36:42.000Doesn't this tell you, isn't the culture screaming in your face from both directions?
00:36:48.000We need institutional systemic change.
00:36:51.000That we can't forever operate in a system where the left are in charge now, the right are in charge now.
00:36:57.000You can't have a system where the unstated truth is, I want to annihilate my opponent.
00:37:05.000I want to annihilate them with words or violence or whatever's available to me.
00:37:09.000That can't be the tacit systemic flaw.
00:37:13.000Eventually we have to say, my God, if two sets of people can look at the same bit of footage and see something different, why are we all trying to live in the same little Wendy house?
00:37:23.000Why are we all trying to live in the same allotment?
00:37:30.000And when I say that, it might not necessarily be geographic, but with the technology we have now, polymarkets, X, isn't it possible that we could have forms of more direct democracy?
00:37:40.000Remember, how did we arrive at representative democracy?
00:37:44.000It was the best idea available at the time.
00:37:48.000You needed some centralized systems of organization when it came to municipal resources, and you needed it for protection.
00:37:56.000These were legitimate arguments 100 years ago, 200 years ago, 500 years ago.
00:38:00.000But as technology increases, the very technology they're using in the UK for facial recognition surveillance and until very recently, mandatory ID, that very technology could be used to enhance and increase direct democracy.
00:38:18.000That's precisely the solution that the culture wars are endlessly suggesting, not least in this Minneapolis matter, where it'd be perfectly reasonable to say this woman was exercising her right to protest and she's been killed.
00:38:30.000This ICE agent was frightened for his life and had previously had an encounter where he was dragged by a vehicle.
00:38:36.000He was doing his job and protecting himself.
00:38:39.000Both of those positions are entirely reasonable.
00:38:42.000They cannot live in the constant tension, the sort of magnetic repulsion of left and right unless, hold on, wait a minute.
00:38:50.000No, they could, if part of the design of the system was to trap people in continual tension to create a kind of babble where people could never find accordance, where resonance was never available because people were continually quarreling.
00:39:07.000Indeed, we have diffused this technology, this ticking time bomb of instantaneous communication and instantaneous organization by allowing it to be used for rhetoric, invective and perpetual hatred.
00:39:20.000Chuck in a Rittenhouse, chucking a George Floyd, chucking this lady good.
00:40:09.000Obviously, what it will require is a strong, robust ideology underneath it.
00:40:12.000Otherwise, even that technology would just create chaos, endless chaos.
00:40:17.000But if you believe that God is real, then you believe that truth is real, that justice is real, that kindness is real, compassion is real, that the highest possible position attainable is service, that we're here for a short time, that we're going to die, and that we're here to love one another.
00:40:29.000And if you have that reset available to you continually when you fall once again into the flesh and into the self, metronomically pinging between God and self, if you accept God and then you use this technology, there's a way out for us.
00:40:42.000Let me know in the comments and chat if you know what I'm getting at and if you've got any suggestions as to how it might be deployed.
00:40:48.000While you're considering that, let's have a look at the leader of Minneapolis, at least explicitly that's the case.
00:40:53.000It's Jacob Frey, who's the mayor, who I don't know, man.
00:43:21.000When you sort of think of an idea before you do a speech and you think, that's actually quite a good idea, that then you do the speech and you figure, oh, it's not landed as well.
00:43:28.000Or even if you're not able to tell how it's landed because the room can't give you much because they're doing it in some weird museum or something for some reason, they've got some false idol behind them, and that's a reclining Zeus or something behind them.
00:43:42.000I don't know what his museum that is, but they've made a decision to do it in front of that fucking statue thing.
00:43:47.000Anyway, he's not landed his fridge idea that he was so pleased with when he said it to his wife or husband or whatever the fuck it is he does when he's at home.
00:43:54.000Like, like he was pleased with his fridge idea.
00:45:02.000I can see why people do their memes about him.
00:45:04.000I think he should get rid of the beard.
00:45:05.000Outrage after ICE officer kills U.S. citizen in Minneapolis.
00:45:10.000Well, what that headline leaves out is the fact that that very off ICE officer nearly had his life ended, dragged by a car six months ago, 33 stitches in his legs.
00:45:21.000So you think maybe he's a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him with an automobile?
00:45:26.000What that headline leaves out is that that woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation in the United States of America.
00:46:59.000Because like, do we wonder that it'll be like when I shaved my beard off for Arthur and my mate Matt said it's like when Darth Vader took his helmet off?
00:47:10.000I mean, the thing is with JD Vance, and I say this with all respect, JD, if you're watching, I know you're a fan of the show, that it's like when people trim their pubes too much.
00:49:00.000Because the truth of the matter is with old Gunchester, even though I'm being sort of blithe about it, is several people in secret services and special ops have told me, you want to be careful, you're going to get killed.
00:49:11.000That's what I've been told by a couple of people.
00:49:28.000And if that lad can learn to shoot Charlie Kirk from that building at a couple of hundred meters with a rifle with what seems to be just a couple of sessions on the range, oh, Russ can learn to protect himself in a few sessions.
00:49:40.000And some, yes, I've been doing some training with some special ops folks.
00:51:42.000And every time I think, ah, like, you know, because The Patriot covers the sort of time in the Revolutionary War where the British were sort of stepping it up a little bit.
00:51:50.000But we made some crucial errors that made us very, very vulnerable.
00:51:54.000Notably, with their guerrilla warfare, they did start taking out officers and stuff like that, didn't they?
00:52:49.000Yeah, that's how that is the British perspective.
00:52:53.000Also, though, whenever you watch war movies, they always have the American sort of soldiers always like, you know, like Steve McQueen in Great Escapes, all like, oh, yeah.
00:53:45.000But Man Who Would Be King is based on a Rudyard Kipling short story that charts two British mercenaries left behind after Britain to some degree are demilitarizing India, even though we're still occupying it.
00:53:59.000And they go on like a Pica-esque adventure into the Indu Kush and they encounter like Indian villagers who mistake them for gods on account of Sean Connery's character's got a sort of a Masonic tattoo on his body that they is in their iconography and stuff.
00:54:17.000And like Michael Kane's, well, yeah, this is a good little number.
00:54:42.000And I'd erase all my memories of like what I know about myself from when I was a kid and all my feelings I have inside me of worthlessness and weakness and vulnerability and fallibility and broken.
00:54:53.000I just forget all that and go, no, you probably are a god.
00:54:56.000But like that, like Stone Cutter's episode Massey of The Simpsons, you know, stone, like, I've always wondered if there was a god and now I know there is and it's me.
00:55:55.000So it's when this was 10 years after the Spanish invaded Mexico and they were converting all the Spanish, but they weren't really having it.
00:56:04.000Anyway, our lady appeared to this guy, Juan Diego, who was like just a poor normal person, weren't a priest or nothing.
00:56:10.000And she told him to build a basilica where this temple had been, where the Mayans had been like sacrificing humans and kids and all sorts.
00:56:20.000And he went to see the king, and when he told him about it, he didn't believe him the first time.
00:57:55.000Massey's got a fucking nightmare to cut it afterwards.
00:57:58.000Let's just do, let's have a look at this lady of Guadalupe and we'll pretend that we went straight into this when we clip it.
00:58:02.000And that, by the way, that gunny stuff I think is well funny, as well as all that stuff I've seen about lesbian Jonah Hill and that before you take stuff.
00:58:09.000I'll tell you what, you did miss something there though, and I've got a comment on it.
00:58:12.000That fella you said looked like a cross between me and you, the right-wing bloke, talking about the woman in the car, he looked like the South Park Jesus.
00:59:01.000Nine million people were baptized in Mexico over the next decade.
00:59:04.000But what's even crazier is the tilma shouldn't exist anymore.
00:59:07.000Agave fiber normally decays after 15 to 30 years, but it's still in perfect condition today.
00:59:11.000A NASA scientist examined it with infrared light and found no signs of preservation techniques.
00:59:15.000Fatilma also survived an acid spill that should have dissolved it and a terrorist bombing that took place directly beneath it.
00:59:20.000Not only that, but there is no trace of paint or brushstrokes making up the image.
00:59:24.000A Nobel Prize-winning chemist discovered the pigments come from completely unknown material and the stars on Mary's mantle are arranged exactly as the constellations above Mexico City appeared at that time of year.
00:59:33.000This is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to freaky forensic facts.
00:59:36.000There's tons more you can learn online, but this might be the most important detail.
00:59:39.000Mary appears in the image as a mestiza, a mixed child of Spanish and indigenous parents and the lowest class of Mexican society.
00:59:45.000This means Mary chose to appear as a lowly, mixed-race girl in order to unite Indigenous Mexicans and Spanish colonials in the worship of her son Jesus Christ.
01:00:08.000Also, you did a good job of describing it.
01:00:11.000Like, okay, and I think my mate Kyle said there's some other stuff around there.
01:00:16.000Like, I feel like some other artifacts appeared and like some staircase that there might be something to do with a staircase in a chapel that was built there that's geometrically not easy to achieve.
01:00:28.000Like it was a little bit of a land of miracles that part of Latin America for a minute.
