A look at the early events of the Democratic National Convention, including Hillary Clinton's "Lock Him Up" chant and the use of her tongue during her speech, and why it seems to suggest that she relishes the idea of a "lock him up" chant, and how it could be used to weaponize the American legal system to achieve a political agenda that s clearly designed and implemented by the powerful. And why is it so important to have a moral center in politics? What are we if we're naught but vitriol and hate, and can it ever come from those places that are clearly lacking in a "moral center"?

00:03:17.000Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Bramble.
00:03:25.000Glenn Greenwald's coming on in about 15 minutes.
00:03:27.000Between now and then, we'll look at the early events of the Democratic National Convention.
00:03:33.000Let's have a look at a few moments from it.
00:03:37.000For example, this is a kind of lovely moment for those of you that have been paying close attention to the weaponization of the legal system.
00:03:47.000The number of times where ordinary people's faith in the judiciary and the institutions of media and government has faltered and ultimately failed because we know that they are not electorally Responsible or morally reliable, but can be utilized to fulfill an agenda that's clearly designed and implemented by the powerful.
00:04:08.000So to watch this moment seems like... I mean, do these people know what irony means?
00:04:13.000Donald Trump would be able to weaponize the Department of Justice to go after his political opponents.
00:04:21.000He could even turn the FBI into his own personal police force.
00:04:57.000If you're watching us on YouTube, we'll be with you for about 15 minutes, but once Glenn comes on, We'll flip to being on Rumble which is where both of us place our content primarily in order to protect our right to communicate openly.
00:05:10.000Become an awakened wonder like Jude Syke and Negligent Banana.
00:05:13.000You can join me therefore with meditations and stand-up comedy content As well as several exciting specials that I'll be telling you about soon and the ability to attend live events.
00:05:23.000For example, if you're watching right now and you're in Awake and Wonder and you want to come and see me do live stand-up tomorrow, you can come simply by using the email that we're posting in the chat right now.
00:05:33.000You can come to the one we're doing next week.
00:05:36.000We're participating in a movement that's seeking to galvanize the obvious enthusiasm for real democracy and real change.
00:05:44.000And can it ever come from these places that are clearly lacking in a moral center?
00:05:49.000The adversary of Trump, Hillary Clinton, rose again at the Democratic Party National Convention and won wonders What she may truly feel on seeing the chalice poisoned, though it may be, Pastor Kamala.
00:06:02.000I'm talking about the participation of Hillary Clinton.
00:06:08.000I've always felt a slight moral reservation around was the kind of easy vilification and demonization of political figures trying as I am to come from a place of love and patience and tolerance not because I want a badge or some sort of merit mark but because What are we if we're naught but vitriol and hate?
00:06:30.000Isn't the thing that's most difficult to accept and swallow about our current political climate is the lack of clear moral principles?
00:06:48.000watch Hillary Clinton now and watch what seems to me to be an insidious glee.
00:06:54.000When the crowd starts to chant, lock him up.
00:06:57.000So we've already had a member of the Democratic Party National Convention say, you know, we don't want the legal system to be kind of deployed and weaponized.
00:07:05.000And any of you that have been watching the various Trump trials, if you dislike Donald Trump, will recognize that many cases were amalgamated and brought together in order to create a kind of felony broth.
00:07:25.000Now we'll see Hillary Clinton making another kind of moral about face by sort of reveling in the easy kind of jingoism and sort of casual bombast that's available when crowds gather ...and seemingly relishes the lock-him-up chanting.
00:09:22.000Certainly, it's very difficult to identify policies.
00:09:27.000What we are going to do that is going to be different is this.
00:09:31.000This is how we will improve your life.
00:09:33.000Some of you will have already noted that the kind of popular policy that Trump appeared to come up with on the spot about letting servers keep their tips, that's been mimicked already.
00:09:47.000And do you know that the manifesto is still the manifesto that they're not legally obligated to follow, conveniently, because we know they wouldn't anyway.
00:09:55.000that was set up for the Biden candidacy when it was presumed that Biden would be the candidate and note too that Biden has been kind of extracted like Boxer from Animal Farm because normally when you say our situation is increasingly Orwellian you are referring primarily to 1984 but those of you that were forced to read Animal Farm at school will know that there's a Magnificent moment where Boxer, who's the representation of the proletariat and a kind of shire horse, without whom the revolution would not have been possible, is ultimately melted down for glue.
00:10:29.000And Joe Biden's participation in this event is kind of heartbreaking.
00:10:33.000He's apparently a brilliant eulogy giver and he's giving his own eulogy here.
00:10:37.000And the kind of the empty, vapid spectacle machine, this bizarre simulacrum, is giving him a send-off.
00:10:59.000There were sort of sentimental displays, black taxis driving around the pitch, the spectre of Bobby Moore, a great deceased captain whose number, the number six, was retired to honour him.
00:11:09.000Turning off the floodlights, and all the while you're participating in this sentimentality, and remember a great description for sentimentality is unearned emotion.
00:11:20.000All the time you're participating in the sentimentality, you realise, well, you know, you don't have to shut down Upton Park, we could just stay here.
00:11:30.000And the same thing with the celebrations and sentimentality around Joe Biden.
00:11:34.000The only reason Joe Biden has been extracted is because he's unelectable.
00:11:39.000The media could no longer cooperate with the establishment in supporting that party.
00:11:45.000And Lord alone knows they are participating in the amplification of the idea that Kamala Harris is a great candidate, even in the absence of sincere, serious or identifiable policy. There's one
00:11:58.000about grocery bills, there's one about tips. It all seems extraordinarily vague. Anyway, let's
00:12:04.000have a look, let's have a look at Biden's kind of sort of euphoric send-off.
00:12:13.000You would think that if Mark LG in the chat, Upton Park was a dump.
00:12:17.000I just looked down to the sort of chat and like, just a total Mark LG, Upton Park was a dump.
00:12:27.000It was a dump that was full of emotion.
00:12:29.000It was a dump that was full of meaning.
00:12:30.000It was a dump that brought people together.
00:12:32.000It was a dump that made people feel that there might be something in life that mattered more than money, more than constant, incessant pursuit of money.
00:12:40.000And Lord alone knows we're all guilty of it at times because it seems there's all this real in the end, the only identifiable, viable thing.
00:12:46.000Could I just grab a fistful of dollars to see me through the night?
00:12:51.000Now let's have a look at the fanfare and extraordinary exhibition of enthusiasm for Joe Biden, a man that has been deliberately, mendaciously and illegitimately actually removed.
00:13:04.000Was Clause 25 or whatever it was, Amendment 25 evoked?
00:13:39.000I mean, I don't know if you would call it a manifesto anymore because it's just a bunch of irrelevant ideas cobbled together that wouldn't be obeyed or adhered to anyway.
00:13:49.000Just let's take one simple example, a couple of examples because there they are on top of my head accessible to me.
00:13:56.000Are you gonna build that wall that you really condemned Donald Trump for proposing?
00:15:11.000And then, of course, he starts, you know, like Joe Biden gets to actually speak.
00:15:18.000And we're reminded of the reason that he had to be forcibly removed against his will from the presidency.
00:15:26.000It's a decision over turning Roe v. Wade, as you heard earlier tonight.
00:15:31.000The United States Supreme Court majority wrote the following.
00:15:36.000Quote, women are not without electrical, without, not allowed, not without electoral, electoral or political power.
00:15:49.000Sort of cheer that, and I don't know if they're cheering because they've been told to cheer, or they're cheering at the general idea of pro-choice, or are they cheering possibly these famous sentences, as the old adage goes, women are now without electrical will, Naldo, not allowed, because there's not without electrical, electoral, or political power.
00:16:55.000I want my grandchildren and their grandchildren to know I was here at this moment, that we were here, and that we were with Kamala Harris every step of the way.
00:17:26.000Aristotle in Poetics says that theatre requires numerous components, among them meaning and purpose and message, and one aspect of it was spectacle.
00:17:38.000And even in entertainment, spectacle has become overvalued.
00:17:43.000The craziness, say, of a You know, is it Michael Mann, the dude that makes Transformers?
00:17:50.000A movie that feels like it's all special effects and explosions and no real meaning.
00:17:54.000Now, if entertainment has become too enthralled with spectacle and has lost connection with meaning and purpose, how much more sobering is it to note that politics is all but spectacle now?
00:18:08.000You can certainly advance the same argument about the RNC, and I certainly wouldn't oppose you.
00:18:16.000Guard themselves as the supercilious guardians of the culture and of reason.
00:18:23.000She is the woman who augured the phrase, basket of deplorables.
00:18:30.000But she's quite happy for a Democrat convention to chant, lock him up, lock him up.
00:18:36.000So it's not wrong to shout, lock him up or lock her up.
00:18:38.000It's just we would like to nominate the person that that shouted about.
00:18:42.000And it's not wrong to just have no manifesto, no purpose, no morals, no meaning, no principles, no policy, no plan, no vision for America, no intention of bringing about peace, no intention of demanding ceasefires, no intention to bring about peace between Russia and Ukraine or the people of Palestine and Israel, no intention to not escalate tensions, none of that!
00:19:04.000Let's forget all of that stuff and let's instead Focus on this.
00:19:08.000We want you to consider us to be slightly more feminist or imagine that this is somehow part of a continuum that began with Martin Luther King or the great martyrs of the civil rights movement and I pray that I intuit that those martyrs of the civil rights movement will be Disgusted by what this party has come to represent.
00:19:32.000The betrayal of ordinary working people.
00:19:34.000The willingness to fill America with poor food and bad pharma.
00:19:39.000The willingness to perpetuate endless wars.
00:19:42.000The lack of vision, the lack of clarity, the lack of spirit, the lack of morals.
00:19:47.000Can anyone seriously claim that the great American civil rights leaders would go, We've left this movement in safe hands.
00:19:56.000It's pretty appalling, isn't it, to watch?
00:20:00.000And again, even when it comes to the extraction of Biden, there's no There's no authenticity.
00:20:09.000Look at how Jill Biden describes what took place.
00:20:12.000And you sort of think, well, hold on a minute, they just realised this dude was unelectable.
00:20:15.000They tried for as long as possible, through the media, to say, no, he's sharp as a tack, he's brilliant, there's nothing wrong with him, it's racist to say he's got Alzheimer's or he's suffering from dementia or senility or whatever condition you might attribute to a person so clearly unable to communicate.
00:21:48.000AOC worked as a waitress and a bartender and has become a congressperson and is good in public.
00:21:59.000Let's have a look at this speech and just I wonder to which policy she is pertaining and referring with the claims that America will improve and remember that again this is sort of mad like when you watch all of this kind of um righteousness you know this is the party that's in government right now like they're in government right now now like It's like, sort of, isn't it like the kind of pleas that you would offer to a bewildered, lost, and weary lover?
00:23:48.000Now, listen, you know that we are partners with Rumble, and Rumble have gotten into the coffee game.
00:23:54.000Now, if you knew that your coffee had been tainted with pesticides and chemicals, sitting in bags for months, Sitting in an old bowl bag for months, probably with traces of mould.
00:25:15.000CNN, here, listen, come on a journey with me, where CNN, under the tutelage and stewardship of Jake Tapper, discuss how Joe Biden's policies are still present in the documentation that accompanies Kamala's candidacy.
00:25:37.000Because this entire election is being fought on the basis of obfuscation.
00:25:43.000Like, what actually are you voting for?
00:25:46.000As this convention demonstrates, it's little more than an attempt to engender certain emotion.
00:25:52.000Just a whoop-up, a storm of meaningless enthusiasm.
00:25:57.000And that sense that you have got, that understanding that you have, that there's nothing there, that the Emperor is not only naked but also scabied, is now demonstrably true on the basis of this discussion.
00:26:09.000Have a look at this and pay close attention.
00:26:11.000David Chalian, President Biden dropped out of the race a month and a day ago.
00:26:16.000You wouldn't know that if you read the Democratic platform because it repeatedly refers to President Biden's second term.
00:26:22.000There are roughly 19 or 20 mentions of President Biden's second term.
00:26:28.000They've had a month and a day to update it.
00:26:34.000And, you know, listen, the platform was largely, the draft of it, put in place and voted on earlier this summer.
00:26:43.000And I think in talking to some folks, the idea of reopening the platform to try to fit in not yet fully developed Kamala Harris policies while they were quickly changing, they thought they would be opening a can of worms, right?
00:27:02.000They're going to fight on keeping Kamala Harris out of the way, hoping that the constant media condemnation of Trump, plus his own style of rhetoric, let's face it, are enough to galvanise those that loathe them into voting.
00:27:19.000So it's an entirely negative campaign.
00:27:24.000Well, because the Democrat Party work for the same interests that ultimately have their claws into all political parties, whether you see this from a bureaucratic deep state perspective, or what Mike Benz would call the blob, or from a global corporatist perspective, and the kind of interests That control corporations, the kind of bureaucratic interests that seem to be able to manage policy, whether you see that on a global level, something like the WEF or the IMF or the WHO, or something like the Atlantic Council, a kind of think tank that will capture control of the Democratic Party.
00:27:59.000What we're ultimately discussing here are superficial and emotive issues, and which ones are more evocative to you?
00:28:06.000All of a sudden some fights about what goes in the platform and they wanted to avoid that at all costs so they're willing to take the hit on the fact that the platform is sort of a relic of the Biden era because it's a non-binding thing.
00:28:19.000They'll vote officially today as part of the party business to put it into effect but as you know it has no binding capacity.
00:29:32.000If you want to remain educated, it's worth listening to journalists that were once part of the mainstream establishment, that made their bones working for its legacy media institutions before their corruption became too evident and obvious to ignore.
00:29:51.000Talking to Fox, of all people, Fox News, of all institutions, of all channels and all outlets, about Kamala Harris' utilisation of Google Ads that are deliberately deceptive.
00:30:02.000Remember, we live in an age where misinformation and hysteria around misinformation are continually the bell that is rung in order to legitimise censorship.
00:30:11.000And yet, when it comes to campaigning, misinformation is a viable strategy.
00:30:18.000Let's have a look at Matt Taibbi, Great journalist, good man, on Fox, describing just how despicable this is.
00:30:26.000So let's say you googled Harris economic vision.
00:30:40.000Underneath it, as if it's the first line of the story by AP, it says a future where every person has the opportunity not just to get by, but to get ahead.
00:30:49.000We won't go back to failed trickle-down policies that hurt.
00:30:51.000So it appears as if it's a news article, and then you can see highlighted at the top, paid for by the Harris campaign.
00:30:58.000Maybe not legal, maybe not against Google's policies, but you know, tricky for folks who are trying to get their information.
00:31:12.000You know, we've known for a while that news agencies have had the ability to do things like digitally paste ads into video content.
00:31:23.000They can also do things like in the last cycle, some of the Biden folks were caught in a Zoom call video talking about a tactic where if somebody typed in the search terms Biden
00:31:35.000and senile, they would at some point later in the day see a video of Biden speaking clearly
00:31:41.000about something. But that's different from this. This, you know, is confusing the reader, also
00:31:50.000bringing in, you know, a legitimate news organization that, as I understand it, is unaware that
00:32:11.000And, you know, there was this other issue with people Googling after the Trump assassination attempt, and just all these weird things would come up.
00:32:19.000They couldn't pull up articles and learn more about it, and Google said basically that was some sort of safety mechanism, right?
00:32:27.000Yeah, so Google back in 2017, they instituted something called Project Owl, and this was designed to change the way that the search engine worked.
00:32:38.000They wanted to change the standard for what kinds of results would pop up.
00:32:44.000And they switched to something that they call authority, which basically means that you're going to sources
00:32:50.000that may not be as close to what your search is, but will use sources that they consider reliable.
00:32:58.000So the example that they gave to me over the phone was, if you type in baseball,
00:33:03.000instead of seeing your local little league, it would show mlb.com, all right?
00:33:08.000And as a result, after that, the New York Times even did a story about this,
00:33:12.000traffic to alternative media plummeted almost instantaneously as a result of that.
00:33:18.000Now, they can do all kinds of other things.
00:33:20.000And that's one of the reasons why people have become so distrusting of the search results,
00:33:25.000because you have no idea whether they're messing with the algorithm to make sure
00:33:30.000that you're not seeing truthful reporting.
00:33:34.000We live in an age where bewilderment is the precondition for citizen management.
00:33:39.000Think for a moment back to the Olympic opening ceremony.
00:33:42.000What was the point of something so deliberately provocative, unusual and ugly?
00:33:43.000they can Google and see what happens when they put in these kind of searches.
00:33:47.000We live in an age where bewilderment is the precondition for citizen management.
00:33:53.000Think for a moment back to the Olympic opening ceremony.
00:33:56.000What was the point of something so deliberately provocative, unusual and ugly?
00:34:03.000Well, it was an evident desecration of principles that used to be regarded, quite rightly, as
00:34:10.000Look now at the DNC and the hysteria and hypocrisy surrounding the celebration of Joe Biden's forced departure.
00:34:20.000Look at the delight In Hillary Clinton's eyes, as a crowd shouts, lock him up, something that she would not like to be the recipient of herself.
00:34:29.000And if it's anything other than self-interest, then it has to be a principle.
00:34:34.000It is just self-interest that motivates most of their positions.
00:34:38.000We may possibly live in a reality that's not only curated by our senses and their limitations, but the information we're given and who pulls the strings and makes the decisions when it comes to what information we see.
00:34:50.000and as Matt Taibbi just pointed out, it's likely that if they can promote information
00:34:57.000that is favourable to Kamala Harris explicitly there through paid advertising elsewhere,
00:35:02.000independent media is being relegated and undermined in favour of traditional media outlets and
00:35:10.000their reporting which is in turn supportive of the establishment and their agenda.
00:35:21.000He won't even accept an email off of Gmail, as a matter of fact.
00:35:24.000He says that Gmail is owned by Google, and if you communicate on that, it's not safe.
00:35:28.000It's all being stockpiled and kept, and you're living in a completely controlled and surveilled reality.
00:35:33.000And I don't mean that in a Hysterical fashion, I mean it in a perfectly reasonable, plausible, evident and obvious manner.
00:35:41.000What they continually require, they, the sets of interests that benefit from crisis, is the opportunity to continually surveil, to censor at will, to generate election results just by creating emotional responses rather than delivering on policies.
00:35:57.000And the way that things are now, it's not likely to alter, is it?
00:36:01.000We're Too easily duped, too easily swayed by senseless information, too unwilling to sacrifice in order to grow towards better values together, too willing to consume, too willing to implode inwardly into self-centeredness.
00:36:19.000I'm just talking about myself here actually, I'm not even talking about anybody else.
00:36:24.000Let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
00:36:27.000I'm going to give you three options now for what we're going to do next.
00:36:30.000I've got some brilliant things, and I'll be excited to talk about any of them.
00:36:34.000One, did you see John Rich, the country singer?
00:36:36.000He's, by the way, my conversation with him is up We're up on Locals now and it's brilliant.
00:36:41.000You might have seen his conversation with Jordan Peterson where he talks about the Bible in the most literal sense.
00:36:46.000That the Bible is something that is literally word for word true and has to be obeyed.
00:36:50.000If you want to see me talking about Jordan Peterson and John Ritchie's conversation about the Bible, put one into the Rumble Chat or the Awaken Wonder Chat and we'll go with that.
00:36:59.000If you want to see me talking about Jordan Peterson and Douglas Murray discussing the ongoing demoralisation of populations that's being experienced throughout the West, and where I agree with them and where I disagree with them, press 2 and we'll do that.
00:37:12.000That's for Jordan Peterson and Douglas Murray talking about the decline and demoralisation of Western populations.
00:37:18.000And if you want to see me talk about Tucker Carlson and Dave Smith, talking about Joe Rogan's, inverted commas, endorsement of Bobby Kennedy and Trump's reaction on social media, press three.
00:37:28.000I'll give you like a minute to work that out while we have a quick look at a little message from one of the supporters of our show, without whom we wouldn't be able to do this.
00:37:42.000Douglas Murray and Jordan Peterson on demoralization of Western populations.
00:37:48.000Tucker and Dave Smith on Joe Rogan's endorsement of Bobby Kennedy.
00:37:51.0001, 2 or 3 and we'll come back to you with that story right after this message.
00:37:56.000Are you struggling with back taxes or unfiled returns?
00:37:59.000The IRS is escalating collections, adding, get this, 20,000 new agents and sending over 5 million collection letters to kick off 2024 to spend on things that you probably don't agree with, like wars and measures and a total lack of infrastructure.
00:38:13.000In these challenging times, your best defense is Tax Network USA.

00:39:22.000So after so now you can vote between two and one and three is Tuck Up and Dave Smith discussing the kind of furore around Kingmaker Joe Rogan.
00:39:31.000Uh, Massey, who cuts up our show and a lot of our content and is a vital creative partner, I know you're watching Massey, shout out to you, mate, showed me a brilliant sort of post where people were saying that Joe Rogan is like a sort of, uh, Khan-Mongol ruler who sort of brings intellectuals before him to explain stuff and then gets angry if the information is contradictory or Insufficient.
00:39:54.000It's a pretty funny analysis, I suppose, because you wouldn't describe Joe Rogan as a traditional intellectual, certainly not an academic intellectual, even though he's obviously got a great deal of intuitive intelligence.
00:40:03.000So when he said something like, I support Bobby Kennedy, or he didn't really say that, did he?
00:40:09.000He said, I like RFK and he's not contributing to the Sturm und Drang and Invective.
00:40:17.000Note that the Kamala campaign cut content up to make it look like when he was saying she could win, that it was an endorsement.
00:40:26.000So, Joe Rogan is significant in the culture.
00:40:30.000Uniquely, perhaps, as the person who created, in fact, the sort of streams that we, right now, still yet swim in.
00:40:38.000The independent, open-minded, neither right nor left, generally suspicious of the establishment and willing to form relationships beyond the traditional left-right boundaries.
00:40:48.000That space has been created by Joe Rogan, and certainly he epitomises it.
00:40:54.000And look at the early attempts at cancellation that he endured.
00:41:26.000The two of them discussing, you know, how Joe Rogan's endorsement solicited an unusual reaction from the Trump campaign and in a way what his impact culturally is.
00:41:42.000So Rogan, who I just want to say for the record I really love and I revere as a pioneer in media really more than, I mean Roger Ailes level kind of changed everything.
00:41:54.000Yes, I just always want to say that because I really believe it.
00:41:57.000But he seemed to uh endorsed bobby kennedy then he comes out and says no i
00:42:03.000was just i just like bobby kennedy oh i like bobby kennedy too for the record um he's a nice
00:42:07.000man but i was not endorsing him rogan said and i don't really like talk about politics that much i'm i'm
00:42:14.000summarizing uh but if you want to know like what i think just listen to to dave uh that was
00:42:20.000kind of funny and cool that he said that wait so when uh rogan tweeted that and i mean like it's
00:42:26.000just you know like i couldn't even look on my phone for like hours after that because it's
00:42:33.000It was one of the funniest texts I've ever gotten.
00:42:35.000Rogan texted me and he goes, Oh, I didn't even realize that I stirred up a whole riot on Twitter, but I sent all the looters to your house.
00:43:01.000Everybody who, if you watch the show, you already know who he is.
00:43:04.000So it's like, he wasn't, He doesn't even think like I'm going to be making an endorsement today on my show about which candidate I want to throw my people's support behind.
00:43:15.000He literally just someone asked him a question and he was just having a moment like he was just like I do like this Bobby Kennedy guy you know he seems kind of like he's read books about stuff and he wants to discuss ideas and not just like personal attacks and I really like that.
00:43:28.000And yeah I mean I kind of I tend to agree with that too.
00:43:31.000I also just by the way I mean I was just so furious at Trump supporters who were like giving Rogan shit for that and then I just thought it was maybe the stupidest thing Trump's done in the campaign so far was that he posted on truth social attacking Joe Rogan for it and it's like man is any is anyone around him to just be like no you don't go to war with Joe Rogan no that's the teachers union you should
00:44:22.000And he said, also, he's just so removed It's really just the flaw in Trump is that he said, uh, it'll be interesting to see how much Joe Rogan gets booed at the next UFC event.
00:45:21.000I also think that the affection and interest in Bobby Kennedy is something that is notable and worth commenting on.
00:45:29.000Because I think there's a... Is there, would you agree with me, a kind of thirst for independence?
00:45:33.000Isn't there a recognition that all establishment parties and party institutions are somewhat owned by financial interests?
00:45:41.000Is anyone talking about, for example, ending donations?
00:45:44.000Is anyone talking about ending the ability of people in Congress to own stocks and shares in companies that they regulate?
00:45:50.000Is anyone talking about further federalisation, the maximum amount of empowerment of states, then boroughs, then communities, then towns, then individuals?
00:45:58.000Now I know that you'll be saying that's a libertarian principle, and yes it is, but it's also an anarchist one, actually.
00:46:02.000And I wonder if we are missing something.
00:46:06.000I wonder if the possibility for a kind of alliance between independent political thinkers and independent-minded politicians is something that we ought be pursuing.
00:46:33.000I think a lot of you were saying number two.
00:46:35.000That's Douglas Murray and Jordan Pearson.
00:46:38.000Douglas Murray and Jordan Peterson had a pretty interesting conversation about the decline of the West and the demoralization of populations.
00:46:45.000Globalism has some pretty observable effects, doesn't it?
00:46:51.000There seems to be a lot of concern about migration in Western nations.
00:46:54.000Across the world, beyond the West even, there's concern about agriculture and what's happening to farmers.
00:47:00.000It seems that top-down edicts are disempowering farmers, often under the auspices of creating Environmental benefits but simultaneously billionaires are buying up farmland and laboratories are creating fake meats and patenting seeds.
00:47:15.000Is it possible that there's a kind of global endeavor to centralize all power, control all food and resources and use technology to implement citizen management at a never-before-seen scale?
00:47:26.000Is it possible that migration as well as corporate globalism, the idea of That culture is dropped on you from above?
00:47:32.000That every high street, every main street looks the same?
00:47:35.000That all of the food you eat is saturated in sugar and seed oils and salt so that you are placed on a conveyor belt of ill health that a pharmaceutical industry can benefit from?
00:47:44.000Is it right that migration is surging everywhere to create deliberate destabilization?
00:47:50.000Is it possible The claim that accepting refugees and even illegal migration is undergirded by compassion when it seems that the establishment lacks compassion so clearly elsewhere.
00:48:03.000What do we do when we possibly disagree with people when it comes to a subject line migration?
00:48:09.000Is it possible that we could have referenda?
00:48:10.000Is it possible that one community could say, well we want to have illegal migration in our community.
00:48:16.000Let's speed up the processes to facilitate it.
00:48:19.000Where other communities might say, we don't want migration here.
00:48:22.000In short, is centralised power always centrally corrupted?
00:48:26.000Let's have a look at Douglas Murray and Jordan Peterson discussing the decline of the West, and in particular the demoralisation of populations, which is the kind of subject subject, that surely a consensus can be achieved even
00:48:38.000between polarised communities. The left and the right would have to surely agree that demoralisation,
00:48:45.000which is a kind of spiritual despair, is taking place everywhere. Let's have a look at
00:49:54.000Well, okay, let's delve into that on the ideational front, I mean... Well, we're finding out, I say Douglas Murray is intellectual morrisy, and J.P.
00:50:06.000It's been said before, but, you know, it's pretty clear he started kermit halfway, pretty evidently, to a quite good Jordan Peterson impression.
00:50:15.000I would say, who would want to do that?
00:50:18.000Well, my sense is that it's this metastasization of Marxism.
00:50:25.000It's the spirit that metastasized Marxism that's bringing this about, and consciously.
00:50:31.000And so you have the people that hold the center.
00:50:35.000The majority of people who approximate some implicit ideal, however poorly, and then you have people who are perhaps unable to do that, or who are unwilling to do it, or who are even opposed to it, and they occupy the margin.
00:50:53.000And the postmodernists, especially the modern queer theorists, let's say, Just want to bring that margin into the center, by whatever means necessary.
00:51:04.000Now, I think there's a profound philosophical misunderstanding that accompanies that desire.
00:51:13.000Although if the underlying desire at the base is just the desire for chaos, which is certainly possible, then it's not a mistake, it's not a bug, it's a feature.
00:51:24.000No, we tend to believe in the West that an idea has its opposite and that progress might be obtained by watching the war of a thesis and its antithesis.
00:51:36.000Hmm, okay, synthesis, sort of Eric Fromm's idea, thesis, antithesis, synthesis.
00:51:43.000But I think what we're actually experiencing is a kind of bewilderment and delirium.
00:51:50.000That power benefits, the powerful benefit from crises and confusion.
00:51:57.000Obviously I've been thinking about this a great deal.
00:52:02.000This is how I put it succinctly and obviously.
00:52:06.000If during a financial crisis, financial interest can benefit, do you think you will see less or more financial crisis?
00:52:14.000If in a health crisis, health industry or the medical industry or pharmaceutical industry, to be yet more specific, benefit, do you think we're likely to see more health crises or the categorization of events as crises in order to expedite the process of profit?
00:52:31.000If war benefits the military-industrial complex, do you think we're going to see less or more war?
00:52:41.000After long, hard journeys, cultivated something of a moral center, it seems implausible that there would be interests that would sooner see children die and cities demolished than accept that there are more important things in life than profit and material possessions.
00:52:58.000But the fact is that the most consistent, powerful and significant donors to the Washington class or the City of London class or the powerful elites that dominate and govern across the globe either through the auspices and theatre of democracy and lord alone knows we saw a lot of it at the DNC there.
00:53:27.000You will see more and more events that are exploitable.
00:53:31.000During the pandemic, do you not sometimes forget even the uneasy statistic that there was a wealth transfer of trillions of dollars in the favour of the already wealthy and powerful?
00:53:42.000Do not think it's likely, therefore, that crises will further be implemented as citizen management and citizen control becomes more difficult, as immediate communication means you no longer have polarised political communities, but in fact, almost heat maps of new alliances emerging, where, as Dave Smith said in his conversation with Tucker, because I was watching it, ...said that what we have now are peripheral forces opposing establishment forces.
00:54:14.000An analysis I first became aware of in the writing of Martin Goury.
00:54:19.000So, yes, I believe there is a demoralising crisis at the heart of Western culture, and potentially at the heart of all culture, and that when there are crises, we are more likely in our personal lives to yield to authority.
00:54:30.000Take, for example, a personal anecdote where you have faced medical crisis or legal crisis.
00:54:37.000Do you become more willing to subject yourself to authority in those conditions?
00:54:42.000And it takes special people indeed and Lord alone knows that none of us are special in the ultimate tribunal unless it is through Him.
00:54:51.000So perhaps what we have to do is find a way to...
00:54:55.000Enliven the flame within us, to be willing to embrace real service, to be willing to look beyond the analysis and condemnation that passes for news coverage these days, to mint and forge our own heroes and our own movements, deploying this technology artfully, and being willing, most of all, when building this new kingdom, to overcome and avoid the hatred that they benefit from so strongly When we yield to it.
00:55:26.000Let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
00:55:30.000All that remains is for me to put on a little bit of old Jordan Peterson and John Rich.
00:55:35.000Jordan Peterson and John Rich had a chat.
00:55:37.000I liked it because John Rich is what I would call a kind of meaty, carnal Christian confronting continually Jordan Peterson.
00:55:45.000In fact, forgive me for telling you that I contacted both Jordan Peterson and John Rich after this conversation And I said to Joel Rich, I like the way he kept saying, you know, commit to Jesus Christ right now!
00:56:35.000I'm sure you may have different ways of getting there, but as long as we will arrive at this place together, a place where we feel confident that we can confront power, knowing that there is a great force available to us, then we have a chance.
00:57:11.000I don't take any issue with what you've said.
00:57:13.000Yeah, no, I don't think you do, and I'm not trying to have an issue.
00:57:17.000I'm just speaking... No, I understand.
00:57:19.000I've studied what you've been saying, and I know you look at the Bible, it seems, at least, very metaphorically and very intellectually, you look at it in those kinds of terms.
00:57:29.000And at the end of the day, it's not a metaphor, and it's not intellectualism.
00:57:34.000Like, when you die, And you see him, what's he going to say to you?
00:58:14.000He says, I stand at the door and knock, and if any man hears my voice and opens the door, I'll come in with him, I'll sit down with him, I'll dine with him, I'll have dinner with him, and he with me.
00:58:26.000And so, you hear him knocking on that door, And you walk up, and you open it, and you let him in?
00:58:48.000John Rich is laying it out for JP pretty seriously there.
00:58:51.000Let me know where you stand on that and if you remain open to spiritual solutions or if you see Christianity as a dogma of conformity and control.
00:59:01.000And I invite you to look in that book because there's some pretty profound stuff in there.
00:59:05.000I'm experiencing it myself and at a point where the Democratic Party's National Convention produces a manifesto that they have basically already scribbled out.
00:59:15.000Because it's still full of the name Joe Biden, where there's nothing but fanfare, cacophony and emptiness, clanging bells and dumb cymbals being rung.
01:00:55.000And if you're a member of the AwakendWonder Locals community, you could just, well you can't just turn up, but if you are, if you could demonstrate that you're a member, you can come and see me tomorrow night here.
01:01:04.000So could you post it in the chat for us?
