00:02:37.000 You love these specials, don't you?

00:02:38.000 When we show you a particular subject and we delve deeply into it.

00:02:43.000 We thought possibly World War Three could happen in 2022 or 2023, but now it looks increasingly like World War Three will be 2024's main story.

00:02:53.000 In election year, What an extraordinary coincidence!

00:03:18.000 Over the course of the show we're talking about The possibility of all-out war in the Middle East and who benefits from it. 0.92

00:03:23.000 The fact that already there are NATO troops in Ukraine and across the world conscription is being discussed and normalized as well as nuclear war being spoken about as a genuine possibility.

00:03:36.000 Now you can watch that first 15 or so across the whole expanse of the internet but with its regulatory potential eventually we will have to slink off into that sweet stream of freedom that we call rumble.

00:03:51.000 Now, if you thought Ukraine was bad in provoking WW3 in 2022 and 23, and I'm not saying the nation of Ukraine, of course, because Ukraine are clearly being used as a vassal for NATO interests.

00:04:02.000 Let's have a look at this story that shows how billions are being derived, contrived, and corruptly acquired using extraordinary techniques deployed by the globalist establishment.

00:04:16.000 No, baby.

00:04:16.000 Here's the news.

00:04:17.000 Here's the effing news.

00:04:18.000 Thanks for refusing Fox News.

00:04:20.000 Here's the news.

00:04:21.000 No. 1.00

00:04:22.000 Here's the fucking news. 0.99

00:04:24.000 Jake Sullivan, who advises Joe Biden on national security, refuses to rule out strikes directly on Iran. 0.99

00:04:30.000 And while all the talk in the world is about raising billions for forever wars, are we on the precipice of all out war in the Middle East?

00:04:38.000 Oh, I do hope so.

00:04:41.000 Jake Sullivan who you might have seen at Davos is now on MSNBC doing one of those half interviews that political figures sometimes do where they sort of go on the television and then don't even tell you anything.

00:04:53.000 Are you refusing to rule out strikes inside Iran?

00:04:55.000 Well I can't say that on the television.

00:04:57.000 What are you doing on the television?

00:04:58.000 vision then. So here is Jake Sullivan, National Security Advisor to your President Joe Biden,

00:05:03.000 refusing to rule out strikes inside Iran. What will happen to the Middle East and indeed 0.83

00:05:08.000 the world if America starts bombing around? Is it going to be great for everyone do you

00:05:13.000 think? Great for your children, great for your taxis? I do hope so. Let's get into it.

00:05:17.000 Is the United States already in a wider war in the Middle East, Jake?

00:05:20.000 What the United States is doing is responding to threats as we see them.

00:05:24.000 That's amazing.

00:05:25.000 It's not in a wider war.

00:05:26.000 It's responding to threats as we see them.

00:05:29.000 Does your response to those threats as you see them, sometimes to the casual observer or someone who might have studied military history, look a bit like a war?

00:05:41.000 Lovely phrase, significant but proportionate.

00:05:43.000 That's one of those things that would have been workshopped.

00:05:45.000 Yes, it was significant, but it was proportionate.

00:05:48.000 People have talked a lot about proportionality when discussing the dynamics between terrorists and national armies.

00:05:53.000 Well, what would be a proportionate response? 0.85

00:05:55.000 And actually, it is a ridiculous word when talking about war, isn't it?

00:05:59.000 Because if you talked about proportionality and reason, you'd surely get to the point where you agreed that diplomacy and peace was the best proportion to offer everybody.

00:06:09.000 This rationalisation of military escalation is a curiously modern phenomena.

00:06:13.000 In the days of barbarians and Mongols and Saracen swords swinging about, I think people at least knew, look, we want to be powerful, we're stronger than you, you're going to do what we tell you or we'll force you. Now people just try to present war to you as if

00:06:27.000 it's, well that's all we could do. It's the only way to bring about peace. Sadly, I

00:06:31.000 hate war more than anyone.

00:06:32.000 But has the war expanded? Has the war expanded in the region, Jake?

00:06:38.000 Well first, we don't accept that what's happening in the Red Sea, for example, Kristen, is

00:06:43.000 entirely tied to the war in Gaza.

00:06:49.000 Entirely tied?

00:06:51.000 Somewhat connected?

00:06:52.000 Tangentially connected?

00:06:53.000 A little bit tied?

00:06:54.000 This is very curious.

00:06:55.000 When you watch old media experts engaged in discourse, you'll notice that what you're watching is a ballet of syntax.

00:07:03.000 Non-commitment, vague ideas, generalities, rather than sort of like casual discourse.

00:07:08.000 Because of course Jake Sullivan can't go on Joe Rogan for three hours.

00:07:11.000 This is the kind of metered language you'll get from the legacy media.

00:07:15.000 This is why we need independent media.

00:07:17.000 That's why it's important, significant, epochal even, that Tucker has spoken to Vladimir Putin.

00:07:21.000 Because what's happened now is everything is shifted.

00:07:23.000 Now we're confronted with information that's not gone through this type of filter.

00:07:27.000 Because the Houthis are attacking shipping that has absolutely nothing to do with Israel.

00:07:32.000 Those hoothies. 1.00

00:07:34.000 So there are connections among these things to be sure but... It's weird because then he keeps telling you that there is a connection.

00:07:40.000 One thinks for certain bombing Iran can't make this situation any better. 1.00

00:07:44.000 You can't just bomb Iran and then just go well let's just hope that people respond to that rationally and...

00:07:49.000 Whether or not the Houthis are engaged in this activity in the Red Sea as a response to events in Gaza or not, the bombing of Yemen in a kind of tit-for-tat violent exchange between the American military and the Houthis is hardly likely to make the situation any better and is yet more of this Fuel to the flames mentality that seems very good for the military-industrial complex, very good for generating a state of anxiety around the world, extra taxation, more money for the pentagon who can't pass an audit.

00:08:18.000 Do any of us believe at this point that it's going to reach a resolution, that the hoof is going to sort of stop doing that?

00:08:23.000 This idea that you can kind of kill everyone that you don't agree with, whether it's in Canada for euthanasia or Or in the Red Sea through this kind of military activity. 0.98

00:08:31.000 It's so ridiculous. 0.69

00:08:32.000 And now we have the benefit of the kind of hindsight we do, whether it's the invasions and wars in Iraq and what that subsequently led to, or even the Suez Canal, like nearly a century ago, 70 years ago. 0.51

00:08:42.000 You kind of learn first of all of these events through a patriotic lens.

00:08:46.000 That's our canal!

00:08:47.000 We should use it when we will!

00:08:49.000 Then you find out, yeah, what Egypt were doing is they're saying, well, that canal's in our country.

00:08:52.000 Go on, off you go.

00:08:53.000 I mean, the fact is Yemen is a lot nearer to the Red Sea than Milwaukee.

00:08:58.000 These are distinct threats as well that we need to deal with on their own basis.

00:09:04.000 So in the Red Sea, we need to deal with the threat to commercial shipping.

00:09:08.000 And we are doing so with the Coalition of Countries.

00:09:10.000 But they're making, actually, imperialism and colonialism just sound like, it's business as usual.

00:09:15.000 There are commercial ships in the Red Sea.

00:09:17.000 And of course all of us, in one way, tangentially or otherwise, are benefiting from commerce and America's role in the world.

00:09:22.000 And I sometimes wonder, wish almost, that someone would say, look, do you realize what this is?

00:09:26.000 If China and Russia gain global preeminence, your little way of life and your cute little shirts are over, baby. 0.95

00:09:32.000 I don't recognize in my own, such as it is, analysis of global events, an agenda by Russia to start sort of getting a Madrid or New York or for China to start running around in Frankfurt.

00:09:32.000 But I don't see that.

00:09:43.000 It seems like they're doing stuff in their regions that are mostly connected to trade and geographical disputes that are a significant part of their history.

00:09:51.000 Whereas America are bombing Yemen, where they used to bomb Vietnam and Afghanistan.

00:09:55.000 All these places they thought, what the hell's that got to do with us all of a sudden. What is this role and is this possibly

00:10:01.000 a time to revise it?

00:10:02.000 Even if it's being done with the best intentions. We have to do that. These

00:10:05.000 people are savages. When we were doing it, the British, that was our idea. These 1.00

00:10:07.000 people are savages. They need us to do it. And what the version of that's playing

00:10:11.000 out now? Maybe it's time to review it. In Iraq and Syria we need to deal with 1.00

00:10:15.000 threats to our troops and we are doing so including with the strikes the

00:10:18.000 president ordered Friday night. Why are there American troops in Iraq and Syria?

00:10:22.000 Because Iraq and Syria aren't in America, are they? 1.00

00:10:24.000 Well, you mentioned Iraq and Syria.

00:10:26.000 Let me ask you, how do you respond to Iran's foreign minister calling this a strategic mistake that will destabilize the region?

00:10:35.000 Is the United States bracing for a counterattack?

00:10:37.000 It's weird how they manage to call things not wars but proportionate and significant responses when we've now established in the last three days America's bombed Yemen, Syria and Iraq and are sort of pondering whether or not to bomb Iran.

00:10:49.000 This isn't a war though.

00:10:50.000 Well I'm not a bit surprised that Iran didn't like the strikes that we took on Friday night so that So the general posture is that America have the right to have troops in that region, protect commercial interests that possibly are at odds with other regional interests.

00:11:06.000 has been clear that we will continue to respond to threats that American forces face as we

00:11:10.000 go forward.

00:11:11.000 So the general posture is that America have the right to have troops in that region, protect

00:11:16.000 commercial interests that possibly are at odds with other regional interests.

00:11:22.000 And it's interesting when we discussed migration and border security that America are all over

00:11:27.000 Why the hell are these people from all over the world arriving in America? 1.00

00:11:31.000 Is there anything to do with globalism that your country is engaged in at the moment?

00:11:36.000 Yeah, we go around the world bombing loads of people and asserting our right to practice certain globalist principles.

00:11:41.000 And when I say you, I don't mean people in America. 0.78

00:11:43.000 I don't even mean your American military.

00:11:45.000 I mean the forces that are behind even your government.

00:11:49.000 The deep state, the military-industrial complex, who appear to benefit from They've clearly calculated this will be a good, evil way.

00:11:55.000 Like whatever happens, Iran get involved in a war, that'll be alright, Iran don't get involved in a war, we'll just carry on.

00:12:00.000 They've not thought about the impact on you, economically, spiritually, psychologically, or even the mortal impact of more dead service personnel.

00:12:07.000 Have you ruled out strikes inside Iran?

00:12:11.000 Well, sitting here today on a national news program, I'm not going to get into what we've ruled in and ruled out from the point of view of military action.

00:12:18.000 It's funny how meta the news has become.

00:12:20.000 Like, everyone knows what this is and this does.

00:12:22.000 Well, sitting here on a national news program, I'm not going to get in and out of what we will and won't do. 0.92

00:12:27.000 What's your bloody job then, mate? 0.63

00:12:28.000 What are you doing here? 0.98

00:12:29.000 If you're just going to say what you won't say, what you will and won't do.

00:12:32.000 Like, what you'd want to see is, no, we're not getting into bombing Iran.

00:12:34.000 That's going to escalate war in the region.

00:12:35.000 I suppose is what you want to hear, isn't it?

00:12:37.000 But he's not saying that.

00:12:38.000 And I suppose the best guess has to be because they probably aren't going to bomb targets inside Iran.

00:12:43.000 What I will say is that the president is determined to respond forcefully to attacks on our people.

00:12:50.000 So much rhetoric involved and grandstanding and like the sort of the idea of Biden responding forcefully.

00:12:55.000 If you've seen Joe Biden in public, he can't respond forcefully to his own heartbeat.

00:12:58.000 The president also is not looking for a wider war in the Middle East.

00:13:02.000 Well, Yemen, Iraq, Syria won't rule out Iran. 0.96

00:13:06.000 That's a wider war in the Middle East.

00:13:08.000 Linguistics, packaging, semantics, all the while saying, you can't let Tucker interview Putin, he'll propagandise!

00:13:14.000 Watch, that's propaganda!

00:13:16.000 People are getting bombed all over the Middle East, meanwhile let's not call it war.

00:13:19.000 What do you imagine it would be if in three days targets were hit in Florida, New York and California?

00:13:26.000 This is a war.

00:13:27.000 This is the worst thing.

00:13:29.000 Let's go.

00:13:30.000 That's not, oh, it's a skirmish.

00:13:32.000 It's a significant but proportionate response.

00:13:34.000 That's a mentality that has to be shed in order to achieve peace.

00:13:38.000 Is it off the table?

00:13:39.000 Are strikes inside Iran off the table?

00:13:42.000 Even the way the discourse is conducted, like strikes, you know, these little people are dying and stuff.

00:13:46.000 If you went to any of these regions, you'd be meeting people with, like, limbs blown off, and, yeah, and that's where Michael died.

00:13:50.000 You can't even watch these kind of documentaries. 0.93

00:13:51.000 You try and watch them sometimes, like, maybe Michael Winterbottom will make a documentary, and it's like, yeah, this five-year-old kid died, and then you sort of think, oh, shit, oh, no, they're the same as us. 0.92

00:13:58.000 Oh, my God, they're the same as us.

00:14:00.000 I've allowed myself to think that, because they've got different sounding names and they've got different outfits on, that it's all right to do this.

00:14:05.000 Oh, my God, I've been lied to!

00:14:06.000 Uh, again, Kristen, sitting here on television, it would not be wise for me To talk about what we're ruling in and ruling out.

00:14:14.000 So you're not ruling it out?

00:14:16.000 Get a room, you two.

00:14:17.000 I'll just say the same thing one more time, which is I'm not going to get into... It's theatre, isn't it?

00:14:22.000 It's just entertainment.

00:14:23.000 That's not news, is it?

00:14:24.000 That's like, she's playing the role of someone.

00:14:25.000 I'm giving you a pretty hard time here.

00:14:27.000 I'm playing the role of someone.

00:14:29.000 Like, you know, in The Matrix, when different people are occupied by agents or whatever, you sort of think that these are, in a sense, just wax and motifs of a hidden ideology and of an agenda of powers that are way beyond them. 0.99

00:14:41.000 Like, if she just went one day, I'm sick of this crap! 0.98

00:14:43.000 Like, she'd be out of a job. 1.00

00:14:44.000 If he went, yeah, probably we're going to bomb Iran. 0.93

00:14:46.000 You're out of a job.

00:14:46.000 They're irrelevant, aren't they?

00:14:48.000 They've got probably less power than us.

00:14:50.000 What's on the table and off the table when it comes to the American response.

00:14:53.000 So there you go.

00:14:54.000 Let's get an alternative perspective on this conflict, because Christine, who has many qualities, and Jake, who's adorable in his way, are not really able to give us much insight.

00:15:03.000 So let's see what we can do together.

00:15:04.000 On Friday, the United States carried out airstrikes on seven locations throughout Iraq and Syria in what U.S.

00:15:10.000 officials said was the beginning of weeks or even months of attacks across the region.

00:15:14.000 That we will not be calling a war.

00:15:15.000 War sounds mean. 0.77

00:15:17.000 Nasty.

00:15:17.000 I like strikes.

00:15:19.000 Love them.

00:15:19.000 It's like baseball.

00:15:20.000 Over the next two days, Saturday and Sunday, the U.S.

00:15:23.000 launch further airstrikes against the Houthi rebels in Yemen.

00:15:23.000 and U.K.

00:15:27.000 Yemen.

00:15:28.000 The attacks mark the beginning of our response and there will be more steps to come, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said Sunday on CNN's State of the Union.

00:15:28.000 Good.

00:15:36.000 In other words, the United States' endless war in the Middle East, which has killed millions of people.

00:15:40.000 Millions of people have died.

00:15:41.000 Like, the way they're discussing it, it's like, sort of, what brand of cake mix you like most.

00:15:46.000 And, like, millions of people have died of this not war.

00:15:49.000 and destroyed entire societies over the course of the past three decades is entering a new and more deadly stage.

00:15:54.000 Now this has been going on for ages ages three decades we've kind of got used to it tuned it out can't really be bothered with it getting on with life and now it's escalating into actually we're gonna need you to pay a bit more attention to this and maybe even take a little short holiday to the Middle East.

00:16:07.000 It's a one-way ticket so it's not too pricey.

00:16:09.000 officials have made it clear that central target of the U.S.

00:16:09.000 U.S.

00:16:11.000 military offensive is Iran. 0.59

00:16:13.000 Appearing on Meet the Press Sunday, Sullivan was asked directly if the United States would rule out strikes inside Iran.

00:16:19.000 Sullivan declared he would not do so, stating, But I will freely discuss actual things that are on the table.

00:16:23.000 when it comes to the American response.

00:16:23.000 For example, that's a pen.

00:16:25.000 But I will freely discuss actual things that are on the table.

00:16:28.000 For example, that's a pen.

00:16:30.000 I got that at a hotel I was staying at recently.

00:16:32.000 When Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson followed Sullivan on the same program,

00:16:36.000 he made an even more explicit threat to attack Iran.

00:16:38.000 When asked, do you want to see strikes inside Iran, Johnson replied, it should not be off the table.

00:16:42.000 Everyone's obsessed with the table, aren't they?

00:16:44.000 It's the table.

00:16:45.000 One thing we can be clear about, it's the table.

00:16:48.000 Wars and what they are and what they aren't and millions of dead people and how they happen to get deaded, that I won't discuss.

00:16:53.000 But tables, all day long.

00:16:55.000 I love the grain in this pine table, for example.

00:16:58.000 How did you varnish that?

00:17:00.000 How many coats?

00:17:00.000 The only thing that's being varnished is the truth.

00:17:02.000 The back-to-back appearances by officials of both the Democratic-controlled White House and the Republican-led House of Representatives were meant to convey the unanimity within the US political establishment for the escalation of the war in the Middle East.

00:17:14.000 Alright, so even the sort of curating and staging of like, here's this guy, what do you think?

00:17:18.000 War's not off the table. 0.83

00:17:20.000 Nothing's off the table.

00:17:20.000 And you, sir?

00:17:21.000 The whole point of it is just go, look, see, whoever you vote for, War. 0.92

00:17:24.000 The Biden administration is proceeding with staggering recklessness in flaming a regional war that threatens to draw in the entire world.

00:17:31.000 People act as if, like, world wars aren't a thing.

00:17:33.000 You can't have world wars, you know.

00:17:35.000 There have been them before.

00:17:36.000 They're going into regions that are full of disputes.

00:17:38.000 They're provoking Russia over here.

00:17:40.000 They're provoking China over there.

00:17:41.000 They might bomb Iran. 0.98

00:17:42.000 They've done these three countries in the last few days. 0.51

00:17:45.000 They're pretending that it's proportionate.

00:17:46.000 Can someone tell us What's the actual plan?

00:17:49.000 What's the ideal endpoint?

00:17:51.000 Look, we're just gonna do that in Yemen, then we'll do that in Syria, then that, then that, then that, then... Oh no, yeah, you're right actually, we're all gonna die as a result of this.

00:17:58.000 A full-scale US war with Iran would have catastrophic human, political, and economic consequences, eclipsing even the bloodbath caused by the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

00:18:07.000 One thing What's worth pointing out is that Iran do have a nuclear arsenal, which means that even though Iran sounds a bit like Iraq, remember?

00:18:14.000 Well, no, actually, Iraq also had weapons of mass destruction.

00:18:16.000 That's why we went there, to get our hands on those weapons of mass destruction.

00:18:20.000 But when we got there, wait a minute, there were no weapons of mass destruction.

00:18:23.000 That means same people in charge now telling us that we should go to war.

00:18:27.000 45,000 troops stationed there.

00:18:27.000 Millions of people there.

00:18:28.000 This whole thing's our fault!

00:18:29.000 Every statement made by the White House to justify this war is a lie.

00:18:33.000 Every one.

00:18:34.000 Every statement to justify a The White House declares it's not seeking war with Iran and every airstrike is justified with the assertion it was not an escalation.

00:18:41.000 We've reached the era where people just lie straight to your face and expect you to not only accept it but fund it.

00:18:47.000 Each new illegal airstrike is presented as a defensive action to protect US troops but the very presence of these troops in the region is the continuation of decades of bloody US wars throughout the Middle East which have killed more than 1 million people and have been accompanied by the systematic and deliberate use of torture In the immediate aftermath of 9-11, we did some things that were wrong.

00:19:03.000 We tortured some folks.

00:19:04.000 In the immediate aftermath of 9-11, we did some things that were wrong.

00:19:06.000 We tortured some folks.

00:19:08.000 The US maintains over 45,000 US troops throughout the region, coupled with dozens of warships and hundreds of military aircraft.

00:19:14.000 Well, that's an interesting perspective on the situation.

00:19:17.000 I felt then, like if you have family members that are in the services, that maybe it's just so in us now that the service is sort of a way of life and this is part of what we do.

00:19:26.000 This really forecloses on the possibility of a different vision of our future where we're not at war and the best shot for kids from what they would call flyover states is to go and die on some far-flung irrelevant campaign at the behest of globalists.

00:19:40.000 I think it's There's possibly a better version of reality for the people of Iran, the people of Ukraine, the people of Russia, the people of Delaware, for all of us.

00:19:47.000 This can't be the best version of global events.

00:19:50.000 And when you watch them discussing it on the television, it becomes clear that it isn't the best version, that they've just not thought enough about it, or they have thought about it, and the conclusions they've reached are at odds with our interests.

00:19:58.000 The latest offensive in the Middle East is a crucial element of an unfolding global war centrally targeting Russia and China.

00:20:04.000 The subjugation of Iran, lying at the heart of Eurasia, is a critical component of the United States' drive for global military domination. 0.70

00:20:10.000 In its effort to militarily encircle and economically strangle China, Washington is seeking to drive a wedge between Beijing and Iran, which is a large oil supplier to China.

00:20:20.000 Why don't they just tell us that?

00:20:21.000 Go on then.

00:20:22.000 Do your war.

00:20:23.000 A major factor in instigating the escalation against Iran is the massive setback suffered by the United States and the European imperialist powers in Ukraine.

00:20:31.000 Even as US imperialism doubles down on its fight against Russia to the last Ukrainian, it has opened up another front in the global war. 0.51

00:20:39.000 This is why recent events are so significant because now we're gaining access to an entirely different perspective and one that might be more conducive to our shared survival than the one that we're metaphorically bombarded with continually.

00:20:52.000 That we are told, oh, Russia is an unprovoked aggressor.

00:20:55.000 We heard Hillary Clinton say that.

00:20:57.000 And what's clear is there is a route to peace, but it involves the withdrawal of a kind of a long established American ideology of kind of commercial imperialism, would you call it that?

00:21:07.000 In his appearance on Sunday, Sullivan was keen to point out that the U.S.

00:21:10.000 strikes against Yemen and conflict with Iran have absolutely nothing to do with Israel.

00:21:14.000 This too is a lie.

00:21:15.000 Less than 10 days after the events of October 7th, we warned, the U.S.

00:21:19.000 is using the present crisis to put into effect long-standing plans for a war with Iran, as the Middle East is in front of the U.S.

00:21:25.000 war with Russia and war plans against China.

00:21:27.000 Certainly, whatever the truth of that is, I've heard, and you've heard, loads and loads of times people going, we want a war with Iran.

00:21:34.000 How are we going to get a war with Iran?

00:21:35.000 American New Century, those boxes that Trump was meant to have had, war with Iran, it's a thing that's been going on long before I heard the word Houthi, for example.

00:21:42.000 The massive armada the United States immediately sent to the Middle East was not just a show of force, it was meant to be used.

00:21:49.000 Ah.

00:21:49.000 Since then, the United States has mobilized its armada to repeatedly bomb Iraq and Syria while strikes on Yemen have become virtually a daily occurrence.

00:21:58.000 American imperialism confronts a staggering domestic crisis in which democratic forms of government are breaking apart under the pressure of enormous and ever-expanding social inequality.

00:22:06.000 Even as they are enmeshed in a bitter factional struggle that is rapidly intensifying into a full-scale constitutional crisis, both US political parties are committed to a massive escalation of war throughout the Middle East and across the globe.

00:22:18.000 Both.

00:22:19.000 So that means, as Noam Chomsky once said, in all instances where both parties agree, you have no choice at all.

00:22:19.000 Both.

00:22:27.000 That's not democracy.

00:22:28.000 That's the opposite of democracy, I think.

00:22:30.000 The domestic political crisis in the United States is a major factor in the global eruption of US imperialism.

00:22:35.000 The deeper the crisis, the more aggressive the American government becomes abroad, hoping to project its internal tensions outward.

00:22:41.000 Well, you saw for yourself the way that Jake Sullivan conducted that conversation, you saw the way that the media framed it broadly as theatre, and the perspective offered to us here from a, you know, pretty far left left organisation, left in the old sense of the word, where

00:22:53.000 what they're really interested in is attacking imperialism, attacking corporatism,

00:22:58.000 attacking crony zombie capitalism, is that this is an exploitative, deceptive attempt to engage in

00:23:04.000 wars against both Russia and China.

00:23:07.000 Maybe some of you will argue that the historical affiliation between those nations and sort

00:23:10.000 of old school communism means you can't rely on this analysis.

00:23:13.000 But I think there are plans to engage in what looks like a global conflict.

00:23:16.000 I mean, that sort of makes sense, doesn't it?

00:23:18.000 It sounds more true when you hear this is an attempt to encircle Chinese interests and get stranglehold over their relationship with Iran. 0.91

00:23:24.000 You don't go, well, that's propaganda.

00:23:26.000 You think, oh, yeah, no, God, of course.

00:23:28.000 Knowing what we know about the most recent conflicts in that region, that makes perfect sense. 0.99

00:25:06.000 Okay, we're gonna have to leave all other platforms now and exclusively stream on Rumble as we talk about NATO troops being in Ukraine and global conscription in our World War 3 special.

00:25:17.000 We ain't preppers, we're just rational and getting ready.

00:25:20.000 Click the link in the description!

00:25:21.000 Click the link in the description now!

00:25:23.000 Okay!

00:25:24.000 So, new leaks have revealed that British troops are on the ground in Ukraine, as well as plans for an attack on Crimea.

00:25:29.000 NATO countries and the legacy media play down Putin's warning of Russian retaliations.

00:25:33.000 So why are the US and its Western allies ratcheting up a reckless game of nuclear Russian roulette?

00:25:38.000 Here's the news.

00:25:39.000 No, here's the effing news.

00:25:42.000 Here's the news. 1.00

00:25:44.000 No, here's the fucking news. 0.98

00:25:47.000 Leaked intelligence reveals that there are already British troops in Ukraine fighting against Russia. 0.99

00:25:54.000 With Putin saying that he's willing to retaliate even up to the point of using nuclear weapons, why are the West continuing to provoke Russia in an outrageous game of nuclear Russian roulette?

00:26:06.000 I mean, Russian roulette's bad when it's just one person and a gun, isn't it?

00:26:09.000 Like, not everyone and missiles.

00:26:16.000 We've heard again and again that Russia's attack on Ukraine was unprovoked.

00:26:21.000 Russia's unprovoked. 0.83

00:26:22.000 Unprovoked.

00:26:23.000 Unprovoked attack.

00:26:24.000 Unprovoked.

00:26:25.000 Unprovoked aggression.

00:26:26.000 But we've recently heard that there are CIA bases in Ukraine and have been for the last 10 years and they've been engaging in espionage and sabotage over there.

00:26:34.000 Now we know, because of leaked intelligence, that Britain have got troops in Ukraine.

00:26:39.000 That means our army, that we're paying for if you're a British person like me, are in Ukraine engaging in military activity against Russia, that is sort of a war,

00:26:48.000 isn't it?

00:26:49.000 Isn't it?

00:26:50.000 At what point does this not become, you know, support Ukraine in terms of morale and taking 0.88

00:26:55.000 in refugees and supporting them against that tyrant that is Putin?

00:26:59.000 So what is this game of Russian roulette about?

00:27:02.000 With Macron saying that it's possible that France will commit troops, with the USA saying they would never commit troops, but billions of dollars of aid sort of seemingly every month being committed to this when it's a very unpopular war, as most of the current wars are with the American public, and now Brits actually having troops, as they say, booties on the ground in Ukraine.

00:27:23.000 What is with all these boots on the ground?

00:27:25.000 Are we not being mindful enough about what this could actually lead to?

00:27:30.000 And are you, as a member of the public, a citizen of Earth, committed to the idea that you want to get involved in a nuclear conflict with Vladimir Putin's Russia?

00:27:39.000 Let's have a look at the legacy media reporting on it.

00:27:42.000 We will not fight a war against Russia in Ukraine.

00:27:44.000 occasion it and study the important fact that for a while, about two years ago when this

00:27:49.000 conflict was starting, Joe Biden explicitly and expressly said, we would not involve NATO

00:27:53.000 in direct conflict with Russia. Why? That would be World War Three for Christ's sake.

00:27:57.000 I think that's a literal verbatim quote. It's certainly close to it.

00:28:00.000 We will not fight a war against Russia in Ukraine. Direct confrontation between NATO

00:28:06.000 and Russia is World War Three.

00:28:09.000 So what's changed?

00:28:10.000 Why are they now saying that Putin's bluffing?

00:28:12.000 Let's get into it.

00:28:13.000 Vladimir Putin has warned NATO countries they risk nuclear war if they send troops to Ukraine.

00:28:19.000 Yeah, but what if he doesn't mean it? 0.90

00:28:21.000 God, then we'd look really stupid if we retreated and he didn't mean nuclear war.

00:28:25.000 Yeah, but what if he does mean it? 0.97

00:28:26.000 And we don't retreat and then there is a nuclear war.

00:28:29.000 This is not a low-consequence, low-stakes gamble.

00:28:32.000 This is not a low-risk situation.

00:28:34.000 This is we're gambling with the future of our planet.

00:28:38.000 Seems like literally the highest consequence risk that there could be.

00:28:42.000 Putin told Russians in his speech that he would be stationing more soldiers in Russia's west, close to new NATO members Finland and Sweden.

00:28:52.000 Putin's nuclear warning comes after France's president refused to rule out the possibility of Western nations sending troops to Ukraine.

00:29:01.000 That's a definite change in position, is it?

00:29:03.000 Because at the beginning of this conflict, there was no way NATO countries would send troops.

00:29:07.000 That would mean World War 3, for Christ's sake.

00:29:10.000 Now Macron, the mad globalist haircut, is refusing to... Well, we may do.

00:29:14.000 We may do.

00:29:15.000 Don't provoke bloody Vladimir Putin, who has a nuclear arsenal, who's explicitly warned you that he will engage in nuclear war, just on the vague hope that, oh, well, what if he doesn't mean it?

00:29:26.000 That doesn't seem reassuring, does it?

00:29:28.000 Does it?

00:29:29.000 There is no consensus right now about sending in ground troops.

00:29:33.000 Perhaps you should seek a consensus.

00:29:34.000 Perhaps you should ask the French public, who are continually ignored when they protest on the streets, or the farmers that are continually protesting.

00:29:41.000 How dare they even purport to speak for their nations anymore when there's this evident detachment from the leadership and managerial classes and the populations of those countries.

00:29:50.000 And for good reason, because they're saying rather glib, cavalier things like, hey, yeah, maybe we will have a nuclear war with Russia, when most people don't want a nuclear war with Russia.

00:29:58.000 Sending in ground troops in an unofficial, endorsed and sanctioned manner.

00:30:03.000 The words, there is no plan to have boots on the ground in an endorsed and official capacity is a tacit acknowledgement that there could be boots on the ground in an unendorsed capacity like our nation.

00:30:15.000 No one's asked the British people, do you want to get in a war with Russia?

00:30:18.000 Because if you did, guess what they'd say?

00:30:20.000 No, thanks.

00:30:20.000 I'd rather actually that all that money that's been spent was used to sort out our health service and our infrastructure and our way of life rather than annihilate in Ukraine and Russia making food prices shoot up and energy prices shoot up.

00:30:33.000 No one's asking.

00:30:33.000 That's what happened.

00:30:34.000 No one cares.

00:30:35.000 The current engagement in this ongoing act of provocation is without the sanctioning or consent of the nations involved in it.

00:30:43.000 That's the truth.

00:30:44.000 The New York Times revealed as part of obviously some sort of sanctioned We've got our bases there for the last 10 years in order to continue to facilitate funding.

00:30:53.000 It's been revealed or it seems obvious.

00:30:55.000 But you and me don't want a war with Russia.

00:30:59.000 They seem to not care.

00:31:01.000 Nothing's ruled out, the exact words of Macron.

00:31:03.000 So who's this war for?

00:31:05.000 But in reality, nothing should be ruled out.

00:31:08.000 In reality, some things should be ruled out.

00:31:12.000 I'd like to rule out nuclear war.

00:31:14.000 That statement from Donald Trump would be like, what the hell?

00:31:17.000 Wouldn't it?

00:31:18.000 That's how that would be reported by the rationalist, materialist, global legacy media.

00:31:22.000 But from Macron, it's like, well, of course, nothing is ruled out.

00:31:24.000 Oh, what a lovely accent.

00:31:25.000 We will do whatever it takes to ensure that Russia cannot win this war. 0.81

00:31:30.000 Here's some of what Putin said.

00:31:32.000 Nobody is allowed to interfere in our domestic affairs.

00:31:37.000 I don't think you can undermine Vladimir Putin and this nuclear threat by using a comedically poor translator. 1.00

00:31:43.000 You're really getting on my nerves now with these booties on the ground. 0.99

00:31:46.000 You're going to be in a lot of trouble, I'll tell you that.

00:31:48.000 If NATO keep mucking me about, there's going to be a lot of bother.

00:31:52.000 There's no need to be sarcastic.

00:31:54.000 They should eventually understand that we also have weapons, and they know it.

00:31:59.000 I just said it now myself.

00:32:01.000 Weapons that can hit targets on their territory.

00:32:05.000 Everything that the West is coming up with now, what they threaten the world with, it can result in a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons.

00:32:15.000 And therefore the destruction of civilization.

00:32:19.000 Small price to pay for acting hard in an international conflict.

00:32:23.000 Annihilation of the planet.

00:32:25.000 Ooh, you're hard, showing off.

00:32:27.000 German Air Force officers have been caught spruiking on, or speaking I should say.

00:32:33.000 Okay, I don't feel as confident listening to you anymore because you've just said spruiking instead of speaking.

00:32:39.000 This is of course the information that there are indeed British troops inside Ukraine has been leaked because of the interception of some German intelligence that's revealed the Brits already have troops inside Ukraine.

00:32:51.000 So add that to the 2014 coup, the CIA bases and agents in Ukraine for the last 10 years.

00:32:57.000 You can now add that the Brits have got soldiers, military inside Ukraine right now.

00:33:01.000 So the word unprovoked is becoming less and less useful and less and less accurate.

00:33:07.000 And the words nuclear Armageddon are becoming more and more relevant.

00:33:11.000 On an encrypted call about UK military activities in Ukraine.

00:33:16.000 Officials in Moscow are demanding an explanation.

00:33:18.000 I say don't give them one. 1.00

00:33:19.000 Fuck them. 1.00

00:33:20.000 Listen, mate, it's nuclear Armageddon. 1.00

00:33:22.000 I don't know if we're spreaking the same language.

00:33:24.000 In Ukraine, there are a few constants.

00:33:27.000 The war dragging on.

00:33:29.000 Weird, isn't it?

00:33:29.000 Like the war dragging on like it's an independent thing, like it's a weather condition.

00:33:32.000 We are funding that war. 0.88

00:33:33.000 Vladimir Putin's telling you what the conditions are for a ceasefire.

00:33:37.000 In that interview with Tucker, everyone tried to turn into like the world's worst bloody thing.

00:33:41.000 And we're continually claiming that this is sort of a one-sided battle in so much as it's an unprovoked aggressor engaging in unwarranted military activity.

00:33:49.000 What we know now is, is there was a peace deal on the table and due to Boris Johnson's intervention, that was all scuppered.

00:33:54.000 We knew that prior to the Putin interview.

00:33:56.000 President Putin sent a draft treaty that he wanted NATO to sign to promise no more NATO enlargement.

00:34:04.000 That was a precondition for not invade Ukraine.

00:34:07.000 Of course, we didn't sign that.

00:34:08.000 The opposite happened.

00:34:09.000 Now we really, really know it.

00:34:11.000 So it's not like it's just going, oh, there's nothing you can do.

00:34:13.000 It's like the seasons.

00:34:14.000 It's one of those things, death and taxes and an inevitable ongoing war that keeps being funded by you.

00:34:19.000 So don't pretend that it's like a natural phenomena.

00:34:21.000 It's a constructed event.

00:34:22.000 And Western nations debating just how deeply they should get involved.

00:34:26.000 As well, even the idea that it's intervention that we're discussing.

00:34:29.000 We've already intervened.

00:34:30.000 It wouldn't be happening if we weren't funding it, hadn't scuppered the peace deal, didn't have bases inside of Ukraine, hadn't engaged in delegitimising the elected government in 2014 and replacing them in a CIA-sponsored coup.

00:34:42.000 How deeply should we get involved?

00:34:43.000 Stop being involved!

00:34:45.000 That's why senior figures from the German military were talking last month.

00:34:49.000 A conversation recorded, now broadcast, by Russia.

00:34:53.000 Among the claims made, that Britain has troops deployed in Ukraine to help set up missiles with so-called reach-back intelligence.

00:35:02.000 In terms of mission planning, I know how the British do it.

00:35:05.000 They do it with reach-back.

00:35:06.000 They also have a few people on the ground.

00:35:09.000 And also claims of fresh plans for an attack on this, the Kerch Bridge, that links Russia with Crimea.

00:35:17.000 It's been targeted twice already, but has survived each time.

00:35:24.000 We've looked at the bridge extensively.

00:35:26.000 Unfortunately, because of its size, it's like an airfield.

00:35:29.000 It's possible that you'd need 10 or 20 missiles for it. 0.93

00:35:32.000 And now for some deeper analysis from those capitalist right-wing pigs at the World Socialist Organization.

00:35:38.000 Confronted with the deterioration of Ukraine's military position and significant advances by Russian forces, the NATO powers are publicly threatening a massive escalation of the war involving the direct deployment of NATO combat troops on Ukrainian territory and attacks on Russian infrastructure and cities, which seems to be already happening actually.

00:35:57.000 Last week, members of the governments of four NATO member countries, France, Canada, the Netherlands and Lithuania, stated that they were considering sending combat troops to fight Russia in Ukraine.

00:36:08.000 Then, on Friday, Russian media outlets published a leaked discussion among German military leaders discussing the use of German long-range weapons to strike Crimea.

00:36:17.000 In the midst of these developments, the UK government admitted to having deployed a small number of troops to Ukraine, of barely any.

00:36:24.000 The reckless escalation of the war is being carried out without any public explanation of what NATO is planning, let alone a frank acknowledgement of the potentially catastrophic consequences of their deployment of forces in Ukraine and attacks on Russia.

00:36:46.000 Notice how consistent the theme of concealed or withheld information is, or the ability to adjudge as misinformation or malinformation true data that is inconvenient.

00:36:57.000 Note the assumption that you aren't consulted on how your country is run, even when it comes to events that could lead to a nuclear apocalypse.

00:37:04.000 It's seen as something that's, you wouldn't understand this, you'd make terrible decisions.

00:37:08.000 What about your decisions to escalate a conflict which just a couple of years ago you said you would not escalate because that would be World War 3?

00:37:15.000 What has significantly changed?

00:37:18.000 Why are we not being informed?

00:37:19.000 Why are we funding this?

00:37:20.000 Does this seem to you like the kind of relationship you want with the powerful?

00:37:24.000 And meaningfully, how different is it from the kind of various other forms of regulation and rule that we're said to have left behind?

00:37:32.000 Feudalism, ruled by monarchy, ruled by colonialism.

00:37:35.000 If, when it comes to matters that could lead to a nuclear apocalypse, you're not consulted, you don't get to vote.

00:37:40.000 But notice, in your country, are either of the sides saying, we're not going to have a war with Russia, we're going to insist there's a diplomatic solution.

00:37:47.000 Because there's a lot of elections in 2024, you'd think one of the subjects worth discussing might be whether or not we want a nuclear war.

00:37:54.000 I recognise there are a lot of cultural issues, a lot of economic issues, a lot of energy issues, a lot of things to discuss.

00:37:54.000 I don't know.

00:38:00.000 But ranking them, I would say nuclear Armageddon was more important than that.

00:38:05.000 Universal Armageddon.

00:38:06.000 Dismissing the explicit warning made by Putin during the past week that direct intervention by NATO forces into Ukraine could lead to the use of nuclear weapons, NATO leaders and the media are laughing off the danger with claims that the Russian president is merely bluffing.

00:38:21.000 Fingers crossed, eh?

00:38:22.000 And to prove I'm not bluffing, Watch this!

00:38:28.000 Maybe it just collapsed on its own.

00:38:30.000 We can't take that chance.

00:38:32.000 You always say that.

00:38:33.000 I want to take a chance.

00:38:34.000 There is no justification for such complacency.

00:38:37.000 The Biden administration and its European allies are engaged in a staggeringly reckless game of nuclear Russian roulette.

00:38:43.000 Yes, I can't imagine a rational, circumspect and reasonable game of nuclear Russian roulette.

00:38:49.000 Apparently forgetting their own earlier statements made at the start of the war in February 2022 that direct intervention by NATO would mean World War 3, the imperialist leaders now assert that Russia will not retaliate even if its territory is directly attacked.

00:39:02.000 And I base that on absolutely nothing.

00:39:02.000 On what basis?

00:39:04.000 Moreover, even if there exists the possibility of a massive counter-attack, the agency says that NATO must not be deterred by that danger.

00:39:11.000 Well, I would say do be deterred by that danger, and I'd like to see the evidence that, oh look, we know for a fact that they're just not going to see, because the evidence seems to suggest, and Exhibit A, Vladimir Putin saying, if you attack us, if this continues, if you get involved, we are willing to use long-range weapons that will be, like, in your yard.

00:39:31.000 We're bringing this to your hood.

00:39:33.000 What have you got that counters that?

00:39:34.000 I've got a little thing called a hunch.

00:39:35.000 A little thing called a hunch has been rather forgotten in international diplomacy when dealing with a nuclear power.

00:39:40.000 You may have Vladimir Putin himself saying, I will engage in a nuclear war, but what about the old hunch, eh?

00:39:46.000 Are you dismissing the hunch?

00:39:47.000 Yeah, I'm dismissing the hunch.

00:39:49.000 Hunch. 0.92

00:39:50.000 There's your murderer.

00:39:51.000 How do you know?

00:39:51.000 Eh, something about his hair.

00:39:53.000 I don't know.

00:39:54.000 How did we miss that?

00:39:55.000 Get him!

00:39:56.000 An argument that is being made by the media and by think tanks is that it's been a mistake for NATO to indicate any concern about the Ukraine war escalating toward a nuclear exchange with Russia.

00:40:05.000 They're kind of a bit like acting like you don't fancy someone in order to attract them or pretending to be tougher than you are in a schoolyard screen.

00:40:13.000 Crap, isn't the degree of sophistication I expect from these organizations like NATO and the CIA and the government of the United States of America and the government of the UK, who when they're sort of deciding what information we get access to is, we're actually extremely intelligent people, we cannot allow you to decide for yourself whether or not this medication is good for you or whether or not this war is good for you, because we're...

00:40:34.000 Pretty clueless. 0.99

00:40:34.000 Oh no, you got cooties! 0.99

00:40:37.000 They're operating like children!

00:40:38.000 Bowing to Putin's nuclear blackmail will make nuclear war more likely.

00:40:43.000 What?

00:40:44.000 Ah, you see, that's exactly what he wants, is for you to bow to his nuclear blackmail.

00:40:48.000 That's what I reckon anyway.

00:40:49.000 Based on your hunch.

00:40:51.000 I don't want to base my children's future and the future of the planet and all of potential future humanity on your hunch.

00:40:57.000 That's where you're wrong.

00:40:58.000 It's the hunch, you see.

00:40:59.000 That's the hunch that's got Putin on the back foot.

00:41:02.000 Bowing to Putin's nuclear blackmail will make nuclear war more likely.

00:41:06.000 Peter Dickinson of the Atlantic Council, a US-based think tank, wrote, The Atlantic Council is funded by the weapons industry.

00:41:14.000 They're not all in it thinking, hmm, what should we think now? 0.98

00:41:16.000 You'll think what we fucking will pay you to think! 0.99

00:41:19.000 That's what they think in there. 0.99

00:41:20.000 Look at its funding.

00:41:21.000 Ukraine has repeatedly called Putin's bluff, exposing the emptiness of the Russian dictator's nuclear bluster.

00:41:27.000 Well, that's just because he's not done a nuclear war yet.

00:41:29.000 He won't ever do one.

00:41:30.000 So I've been in this position before.

00:41:32.000 This is an escalating conflict.

00:41:33.000 What, do you think there's nothing?

00:41:35.000 I think there's nothing that would make Vladimir Putin go, you know what, I've had enough of this now.

00:41:38.000 Well, I hope you're right.

00:41:39.000 Ukraine has repeatedly called Putin's bluff, exposing the emptiness of the Russian dictator's nuclear bluster,

00:41:45.000 he declared, adding, while Ukraine has refused to be intimidated by Putin's nuclear blackmail,

00:41:50.000 the same cannot be said for the West. Western fear of escalation is the single biggest obstacle.

00:41:55.000 There are different types of fear, I was taught.

00:41:57.000 There is neurotic fear, that can never be satiated, and wisdom fear, which is a gift that helps us to discern the boundaries of the physical world, like we live in a physical world where there are physical threats.

00:42:08.000 It's somewhat neurotic to be terrified of sharks if you live, you know, in a busy metropolis, but if you swim about in the sea with chum and meat dangling from your bikini, fear of sharks is considered wisdom fear.

00:42:21.000 Although, hanging chum off a bikini, in anybody's language, I think is Odd. 0.98

00:42:25.000 But in diplomacy terms, sort of what we're actually doing.

00:42:29.000 Fingers are crossed though.

00:42:30.000 My fingers were crossed.

00:42:31.000 Yeah, that doesn't stop nuclear attack.

00:42:33.000 Oh no!

00:42:34.000 In Germany, the Frankfurter Allemagne Zeitung wrote that Russia's threat to use nuclear weapons will not be realised, it continued, not even if, as happens regularly, American and British missiles and cruise missiles are used to attack military targets in the Ukrainian territories annexed by Russia, including Crimea.

00:42:51.000 Oh well, let's just hope you're right about that because Vladimir Putin's saying the opposite.

00:42:56.000 The Lowy Institute, a pro-NATO think tank in Australia.

00:42:59.000 Already they're a pro-NATO think tank. NATO probably give them money or

00:43:02.000 similar agencies or subdivisions or affiliated organizations give money.

00:43:07.000 So like you don't even need to know but you know, just let's indulge them.

00:43:10.000 Let's see what this pro-NATO think-tank think-tank.

00:43:13.000 We think tanks in our think-tank.

00:43:15.000 We think missiles in our think-tank.

00:43:16.000 They all just think things that are beneficial to the weapons industry.

00:43:19.000 I wonder who funds them.

00:43:20.000 The Lowy Institute, a pro-NATO think-tank in Australia, declared, the key question is whether the West will call Putin's bluff or yield to his high stakes nuclear posturing, a decision that will shape the outcome of the conflict.

00:43:33.000 How about this shape?

00:43:39.000 That's the shape of us all dying in a nuclear war for those of you just listening to the audio.

00:43:43.000 By publicly claiming that Putin is only bluffing, NATO is all but inciting him to react aggressively and expose his miscalculation.

00:43:50.000 There's a football hooligan song that was popular in the 80s, not so much now, come and have a go if you think you're hard enough.

00:43:56.000 I mean, if that leads fans to West Ham or Chelsea fans, it's considered to be working class culture out of control and in need of radical regulation. 0.99

00:44:04.000 But when its entire government and the NATO organisation send it to Vladimir Putin, it's called geopolitical strategy.

00:44:10.000 Come and have a go if you think you're not enough! 1.00

00:44:16.000 Even as they loudly assert that Russia will not respond, US and European strategists have gamed out the possibility of an escalation to nuclear war.

00:44:24.000 That's not game.

00:44:25.000 Nuclear war's not a game.

00:44:26.000 The New York Times began publishing a series of extraordinary opinion pieces Sunday under the overall headline, At the Brink, focused on the threat of nuclear weapons in an unstable world.

00:44:36.000 Hello, welcome to At The Brink.

00:44:37.000 This week on At The Brink, we're all going to be living in a nuclear apocalypse.

00:44:41.000 Hooray! 0.97

00:44:42.000 How like the New York Times, who plainly operate on behest of the deep state, given the access they were given to those CIA bases, given the way they were willing to put that story out there in order to generate compliance from the Republican Party, in order to receive further funding for the perpetuation of this ongoing war, to consider, like, At The Brink as a sort of think piece.

00:45:00.000 Oh, the thing is, the brink's not where you think it is.

00:45:04.000 You can get a lot closer to that brink than you think.

00:45:06.000 We've got a think tank about brinks, and I think that the brink don't stink.

00:45:09.000 It's not Dr. Seuss, it's Vladimir Putin!

00:45:11.000 One thing I say for the New York Times is they are catering for both audiences.

00:45:15.000 On one hand, we should definitely call Vladimir Putin's bluff.

00:45:18.000 But what if... Oh, no, that's a good point.

00:45:20.000 How to survive a nuclear winter?

00:45:22.000 Nuclear sweaters?

00:45:23.000 Nuclear bobble hats?

00:45:25.000 Also, like, Trump is, like, continually, like, my God, if Trump gets in, he'll make himself president for life. 1.00

00:45:31.000 Meanwhile, fuck you, Putin. 1.00

00:45:32.000 Yeah, come on, come on, Putin. 1.00

00:45:34.000 I'll never go if you think you know it enough!

00:45:38.000 The Project's lead writer W.J.

00:45:47.000 Hennigan, initiated the series with a column, The Brink, which begins by stating, If it seems alarmist to anticipate the horrifying aftermath of a nuclear attack, consider this.

00:45:55.000 United States and Ukraine governments have been planning for this scenario for at least two years.

00:46:00.000 That doesn't make it better.

00:46:02.000 That makes it worse.

00:46:03.000 Don't worry about the nuclear aftermath.

00:46:04.000 We've been planning for it.

00:46:06.000 And tell us the plan.

00:46:07.000 All rich people have already got bunkers.

00:46:09.000 Zuckerberg's got a great one.

00:46:11.000 Jeff Bezos's is fantastic. 1.00

00:46:12.000 Good luck in the nuclear dust, motherfuckers! 1.00

00:46:15.000 Wait, wait, what? 1.00

00:46:16.000 That's the plan?

00:46:17.000 Yeah.

00:46:17.000 Don't vote Trump.

00:46:18.000 He's crazy. 1.00

00:46:19.000 See ya!

00:46:19.000 In the fall of 2022, Hennigan writes, a US intelligence assessment put the odds at 50-50 that Russia, 50-50?

00:46:25.000 Like when that comes up in the game show for like, to get a caravan or an RV, I'm like, careful, you might lose out on the 500 bucks you've already got.

00:46:34.000 It's a nuclear war! 1.00

00:46:36.000 Ah, come on, go for it, you goddamn pussy! 1.00

00:46:39.000 50-50. 1.00

00:46:40.000 50-50.

00:46:42.000 They might, or they might not, that Russia would launch a nuclear strike to haunt Ukrainian forces if they breached its defence of Crimea.

00:46:48.000 Hennigan adds that earlier, the Biden administration had directed a small group of experts and strategists, a Tiger Team.

00:46:54.000 That's going to be helpful.

00:46:55.000 A tiger team?

00:46:56.000 As a nuclear missile explodes?

00:46:57.000 They're great!

00:47:07.000 To devise a new nuclear playbook of contingency plans and responses.

00:47:11.000 Now, in the event that there is a nuclear war, I propose... Sorry, but we've... 0.66

00:47:18.000 You've not understood the dynamic.

00:47:20.000 The NATO powers have repeatedly stated that they will not be deterred from pursuing the war by the threat of a nuclear exchange.

00:47:26.000 We'd be playing right into their hands!

00:47:27.000 The deliberate use of tactical and strategic nuclear weapons.

00:47:31.000 I mean, it's just like that is not tactical, is it? 0.99

00:47:31.000 Fucking hell. 0.99

00:47:33.000 That's... 0.99

00:47:37.000 That's not a tactic!

00:47:37.000 Nuclear weapons, which was rejected for decades as synonymous with madness, is now being normalized as a legitimate component of imperialist geopolitical strategy.

00:47:46.000 You know that feeling that you have that the elites live in a different world from you?

00:47:50.000 It might be that they were able to have parties during the pandemic or just the obvious wealth inequality and the bunkers or whatever.

00:47:57.000 Now that's reached the point where a nuclear war evidently affects them differently than it affects everyone else.

00:48:03.000 And some of those loopy theories about population control or people saying they want a hot war with Russia don't seem so conspiratorial when there's been two years of planning and brinkmanship is considered a strategy, does it?

00:48:18.000 The war is being driven to a much larger and bloodier scale.

00:48:22.000 All of this is being done behind the backs of the population.

00:48:25.000 Relying on a lack of information and disinformation.

00:48:25.000 Always a good sign.

00:48:28.000 On Monday, the German state blatantly lied, stating that an emergency summons of the German ambassador to the Russian foreign ministry had nothing to do with the leaked discussions about German missiles targeting Crimea.

00:48:39.000 That meeting with the Russian ambassador was to organize a party for your birthday!

00:48:44.000 And you ruined it! 0.95

00:48:45.000 You're just like your Fuhrer! 0.98

00:48:47.000 Cheers.

00:48:48.000 The ruling class is lying to the public because it wants to be free to carry out its military conspiracies unimpeded.

00:48:54.000 Yes, there is already broad opposition to the escalation of the war.

00:48:57.000 After Macron raised the possibility of sending European troops to fight Russia and Ukraine, polls found that 68% of the French people and 80% of the German people oppose it.

00:49:05.000 Yeah, because people don't want to die.

00:49:06.000 That's the main aim in the game of life.

00:49:08.000 To the extent that masses of people in the US and all of the NATO countries are aware of what is happening, this opposition will grow.

00:49:15.000 That's why the control of information becomes so significant.

00:49:18.000 Because when the strategy is Vladimir Putin might not launch nuclear weapons, you have to keep control on the information.

00:49:25.000 That's why everyone went hysterical about Tucker talking to Vladimir Putin.

00:49:28.000 How dare you! 0.99

00:49:29.000 That is disloyal!

00:49:30.000 It's borderline treason!

00:49:31.000 No, what's treason is having hunches up against explicit threats of nuclear war and claiming that that's a strategy simply because in reality there's an elite set of institutions that are somehow immune from nuclear war in ways that I can't really begin to understand because I thought that was one area where we were kind of actually were all in it together.

00:49:50.000 Evidently not.

00:49:51.000 You know what I'm in the mood for?

00:49:53.000 Could it be turkey?

00:49:55.000 But how did you?

00:49:57.000 So, it seems to me that we should demand freedom of information, we should demand the ability to determine for ourselves the activities of our nations on the international stage, and we should demand a diplomatic solution between Ukraine and Russia, simply to be sure that it's not an exercise like Afghanistan was.

00:50:12.000 and Iraq was to perpetuate war in order to generate profits and dominion or to drain 0.80

00:50:17.000 an international energy of their resources in order to create a unipolar globalist state

00:50:21.000 because I don't know that we're going to benefit from the same things that they benefit from

00:50:25.000 when we suffer as a result of their decisions. Things to them that are beneficial are not

00:50:30.000 beneficial to us.

00:50:31.000 Okay so the head of the British army has said the government must prepare to mobilize the nation

00:50:41.000 and a hundred thousand Swedish people are getting ready to be called up for military duty

00:50:45.000 next year and Australia are publicly contemplating conscription.

00:50:49.000 Do you think we're being prepared for nuclear war?

00:50:52.000 And what if we oppose?

00:50:54.000 How will it be enforced?

00:50:55.000 Here's the news.

00:50:56.000 No, here's the effing news.

00:50:59.000 Here's the news. 1.00

00:51:00.000 No, here's the fucking news! 0.99

00:51:04.000 War is terrible, but at least they're always fought far away by drones and robots. 1.00

00:51:09.000 Not anymore!

00:51:10.000 Wars are going to be fought right here, right now, by you!

00:51:13.000 And me!

00:51:16.000 Today we are talking about, well it's quite serious actually, numerous nations including the one I live in, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Australia are talking potentially about conscription.

00:51:26.000 Conscription's a word that's almost slipped out of our vernacular to be replaced by words like subscription.

00:51:31.000 Subscribe here by the way.

00:51:33.000 Conscribed here.

00:51:34.000 That means you bloody well will subscribe whether you like it or not.

00:51:37.000 That means that they are anticipating war being so extensive, so punishing and so fatal that People from the population, the civilian population, will be called into active armed service.

00:51:48.000 This is something we thought we'd left behind along with fascism.

00:51:51.000 Now, even though it's often the progressive left that are nominating nationalist or populist figures, charismatic orators as potential returns to the dark times of Hitler, Mussolini, Attal, apparently now tyranny and dictatorship may take on a slightly more bureaucratic hue and may yet deliver great vast wars, continental conflicts, As well as an idea that we thought we'd left behind in a 20th century conscription.

00:52:15.000 It's being spoken about.

00:52:16.000 Are we being prepped for it?

00:52:17.000 Are we being primed for it?

00:52:18.000 Anyone that's been following the Ukraine-Russia conflict will know that it started with a professional army, moved towards a civilian army.

00:52:23.000 Indeed, that's one of the catchphrases of the UK army.

00:52:26.000 Wars are started by professional armies, ended by civilian armies.

00:52:29.000 You'll have seen in the Ukraine that initially they started with a fresh young fighting force

00:52:32.000 But due to the fact that the members of the army kept, you know, dying, they ended up with increasingly older guys in

00:52:37.000 the army leading to videos like this

00:52:40.000 🎵 Where the fight force was ultimately dads and middle-aged

00:52:47.000 middle-aged men. So could conscription be a reality in countries like yours and

00:52:51.000 mine? And are we being primed and groomed to accept the idea of forever wars?

00:52:56.000 These recruits didn't choose the Swedish army. The army has started choosing them.

00:53:02.000 And given current global tensions a defense expert reckons Australia should

00:53:05.000 seriously consider bringing back a form of national service.

00:53:09.000 I have in the past thought that some form of conscription or national service could indeed be of a benefit for connecting people to the idea of service, even to the idea of tribe or nation.

00:53:21.000 But now that the idea of nation seems to have been entirely corrupted by globalist ideas, Now that democracy more and more seems like a sham, now that more and more the agenda of our nation seems to be so at odds with the agenda of the populations, now that nations seem so divided, it seems so bloody extraordinary that an idea like conscription would be discussed.

00:53:41.000 And also, more worrying is there's a real likelihood that it will be for a war.

00:53:44.000 The idea of conscription so we could participate in community projects, protect one another, feel integrated and connected in true communities of service and love, togetherness and unity, that seems like a fantastic idea.

00:53:54.000 But marching into Moscow carrying a heavy backpack in the crosshairs of Vladimir Putin seems less attractive.

00:53:59.000 And amid NATO fears of an all-out war with Russia, he says Australia should be training new troops while we still have time.

00:54:06.000 So that's Australia.

00:54:08.000 Again, remember Australia was regarded as a pretty laissez-faire relaxed country until the pandemic when we discovered that Australia can be pretty bloody strict over in the UK.

00:54:17.000 Similarly, the idea of conscription is being discussed.

00:54:19.000 Somebody who you'll know well, General Sir Patrick Saunders.

00:54:23.000 I'm not sure if you served with him, but certainly you did.

00:54:27.000 So he's suggesting, reading between the lines in the Telegraph today, that if we go to war with Russia, we could find that our youth may have to be conscripted.

00:54:35.000 That's a bit alarming.

00:54:36.000 Yes, head of the British Army, one of the most cerebral thinkers that we've got, a strategist.

00:54:40.000 We need to listen, and listen carefully.

00:54:42.000 He said, we will not be immune, and as the pre-war generation, we must similarly prepare.

00:54:49.000 And that is a whole of nation undertaking.

00:54:52.000 Ukraine brutally illustrates that regular armies start wars, citizen armies win them.

00:54:59.000 And don't necessarily win them either.

00:55:01.000 And what's startling about this, of course, is that we're talking about the idea of conscription.

00:55:06.000 The idea of war with Russia has been spoken of as inevitable.

00:55:09.000 Of course, Ukraine already in a war with Russia.

00:55:11.000 And many people have been cynical, doubtful, concerned about Western countries, your country,

00:55:16.000 my country, funding that war, perpetuating that war, potentially at the expense of a

00:55:21.000 diplomatic solution, which many of us know was on the table right at the dawn of this

00:55:25.000 conflict and was somehow neglected, perhaps as a result of an agenda not derived from

00:55:31.000 the interests of Ukrainian people or Russian people.

00:55:34.000 The idea that a civilian population from the UK or from Australia would be participating in this conflict without understanding what it's about, what the agenda is.

00:55:43.000 Of course, what we're told in the legacy media again and again is that Vladimir Putin is a madman, that Russia has an expansionist agenda, that they're hell-bent on invading other, even though Ukraine isn't yet a NATO country, and that we all have to be concerned about Russia as an aggressor.

00:55:58.000 Elsewhere, Jens Stoltenberg, the head of NATO, has admitted that they provoked Russia into this conflict, openly and publicly.

00:56:05.000 President Putin declared in the autumn of 2021, and he actually sent a draft treaty that he wanted NATO to sign, to promise no more NATO enlargement.

00:56:16.000 That was a precondition for not invade Ukraine.

00:56:19.000 Of course we didn't sign that.

00:56:20.000 The opposite happened.

00:56:22.000 So do you want to actually personally fight in a war against Russia that could be avoided?

00:56:27.000 There are reasons why such a senior figure within the military would be saying this, and one of them is to reach the British public and remind them about the state of readiness in this country should the worst happen.

00:56:39.000 If you ask the people over 60, they would be up for it.

00:56:44.000 Citizen Army, they would love that idea.

00:56:47.000 Younger generation, I don't think would be up for it.

00:56:49.000 Bobby Kennedy recently commented that baby boomers were at a disadvantage due to the nature of the media they consume.

00:56:55.000 They consume state or corporate legacy media.

00:56:58.000 Young people, far from being disinterested or uninterested or slothful or negligent of And indeed, I think if you expose people of 50, 60, 70, 80 years of age to the truth about the origins of this war, the nature of who benefits from it, they would perhaps become a little more cynical.

00:57:11.000 that they no longer trust, if they've ever trusted.

00:57:14.000 And indeed, I think if you expose people of 50, 60, 70, 80 years of age 0.65

00:57:18.000 to the truth about the origins of this war, the nature of who benefits from it,

00:57:22.000 they would perhaps become a little more cynical.

00:57:24.000 Again, the idea of having cohesive, community-oriented projects,

00:57:27.000 the idea of unity, togetherness and purpose, I think are attractive to people of all ages.

00:57:31.000 I simply don't trust the agenda or the direction of our governments when it comes to this conflict, when it comes to the pandemic, when it comes to globalism, basically on any subject.

00:57:41.000 But Jade, age 25, disagrees. 0.94

00:57:43.000 Do you think your generation would kind of be ready to step up like that?

00:57:49.000 I think so, yeah.

00:57:50.000 Although everybody would be scared, I think so.

00:57:50.000 I think so.

00:57:52.000 I think there's a lot of people that want to help now.

00:57:54.000 The questions that are asked are interesting, but what about the questions that are not asked?

00:57:58.000 Why are we not discussing why would we have a war with Russia? 0.67

00:58:01.000 What is the point of it?

00:58:02.000 What are we trying to achieve?

00:58:03.000 what is the transgression that Russia have enacted. 0.78

00:58:06.000 Many people say, and legitimately perhaps, that it is a criminal war,

00:58:09.000 that the ICC would judge Russia's invasion of Ukraine as criminal, and that may be and likely is true, 0.99

00:58:15.000 but it's legislation that cannot be explored due to the numerous, many criminal wars

00:58:20.000 that the United States have enacted in the past 10, 20, 30 years.

00:58:24.000 The legislation itself has almost become defunct because all of the wars that America engages in

00:58:29.000 are to some degree criminal.

00:58:30.000 And the fundamental question here is whose war is it?

00:58:32.000 What is your relationship with the nation?

00:58:34.000 Do you feel connected to the nation?

00:58:36.000 Do you feel that you want to serve your nation?

00:58:38.000 As you see your public utilities stripped, as you see infrastructure in decline, as you see your health services, schools, all municipalities broken down, your water services, your electricity services sold overseas, overpriced, fuel prices going up, grocery prices going up.

00:58:53.000 Who are you fighting for?

00:58:55.000 The UK is already involved in supporting multiple war efforts.

00:58:59.000 This war on Sesame Street's getting out of hand.

00:59:01.000 In Ukraine and elsewhere.

00:59:03.000 And while the future of warfare may be unpredictable, the armed forces need people.

00:59:09.000 Finding them is part of the mission.

00:59:12.000 There's one!

00:59:12.000 Quick, grab him!

00:59:13.000 Conscript him right now!

00:59:14.000 We've been too complacent. I think I've said this many times with you.

00:59:18.000 What's coming over the horizon should shock us. It should worry us.

00:59:22.000 And we are not prepared.

00:59:24.000 We've had a couple of decades, three decades or so, since the Cold War.

00:59:28.000 Life has gone well.

00:59:29.000 Life has gone well. 9-11.

00:59:31.000 Financial crash?

00:59:32.000 Covid?

00:59:33.000 Time for a bit of conscription, I say!

00:59:35.000 I have nothing but respect for people that operate within the services, whether that's the fire service, the police service, the military, health services, people that are willing to give their time and indeed their lives for a higher purpose, I believe are the finest kind of people, the very people around whom you have to build a society, without whom you don't have a society.

00:59:50.000 But the idea that we sort of deserve a war now to celebrate, you know, that we've all got satellite TV and PlayStation.

00:59:57.000 It's pretty risible when there's a crisis of meaning, total lack of trust in all of our institutions, and a sense of a total breakdown of the cohesion in society.

01:00:05.000 It's now going to get more difficult as authoritarian states exploit our timidity.

01:00:11.000 Come on! 0.61

01:00:12.000 Foreigners are looking at us and thinking that we're weak.

01:00:14.000 Now get on a uniform and get out there and fight.

01:00:16.000 What for?

01:00:17.000 Who for? 0.94

01:00:17.000 Oh God, I've looked at it and it's basically for corruption and hypocrisy. 0.94

01:00:21.000 Perhaps reluctance to really put fires out.

01:00:23.000 And the best example of that is a democracy on the corner of Eastern Europe.

01:00:29.000 Oh no, I've got some terrible news for you about Ukrainian democracy.

01:00:32.000 One, they're shutting down all opposition media within the country.

01:00:35.000 They're jailing journalists and even their own citizens don't think it's democratic.

01:00:38.000 They've done a deal with BlackRock to build the country after the war where they will crush unions and that they'll create the first fully digital society.

01:00:45.000 You've even seen Zelensky saying, you know, we've done a deal with BlackRock.

01:00:49.000 We have already managed to attract attention and have cooperation with such giants as BlackRock, JPMorgan and Golden Sox.

01:00:59.000 These kind of things are not speculative.

01:01:00.000 They're not conspiracy theories.

01:01:01.000 Ukrainian democracy is in trouble.

01:01:03.000 They're right now doing investigations into corruption.

01:01:05.000 Many of the weapons intended for Ukraine don't make it to Ukraine.

01:01:08.000 So they're continually having to conduct internal investigations to ensure it can even really be called a democracy.

01:01:14.000 I mean, I think they've scrapped all of their elections.

01:01:16.000 How democratic can it be?

01:01:17.000 So you can't just glibly say, You have to support Ukraine, they're a democracy.

01:01:20.000 Or you can say it, there is someone who is saying it on the legacy media.

01:01:22.000 But be aware that what you're saying is not true and therefore propaganda.

01:01:26.000 And propaganda with the most nefarious event, asking people to fight in someone else's war.

01:01:31.000 That in its third year is now in conflict and we've not resolved that.

01:01:36.000 So Patrick Saunders is saying prepare for what's coming over the horizon.

01:01:40.000 There is a 1939 feel to the world right now.

01:01:43.000 No!

01:01:44.000 1939!

01:01:44.000 We're at it again!

01:01:45.000 Instead of Hitler, it's Putin!

01:01:47.000 This is not that.

01:01:48.000 We don't have a genocide to oppose.

01:01:50.000 We don't have an expansionist Nazi army.

01:01:52.000 What we likely have are geopolitical rifts between the United States, Russia, and China, a set of crumbling alliances throughout Europe, debt crises and crises of meaning abound, and an appetite to hold that whole thing together, while domestic populations become increasingly despairing and distrusting of their governments.

01:02:09.000 These authoritarian states are rearming.

01:02:13.000 There's a risk-averseness about the West in wanting to deal with that.

01:02:17.000 Stop being so risk-averse.

01:02:18.000 Here, here's a gun.

01:02:19.000 Ah!

01:02:20.000 Maybe turn it against our own governments?

01:02:22.000 There's a mindset now of this era of insecurity that we're heading towards, but we're still on a peacetime defence budget of just 2%.

01:02:31.000 That does need to change.

01:02:33.000 Oh, I get it.

01:02:34.000 You just want some more money for defence contracts.

01:02:35.000 Check out this guy's thighs. 1.00

01:02:37.000 The Red Sea is a great example that if you don't step forward, if you don't, if you're

01:02:42.000 not robust in dealing with those that are testing the envelope, it will be, our weakness

01:02:48.000 will be exploited and it will affect our economy.

01:02:51.000 Ah, the old economy!

01:02:52.000 It's extraordinary what's presented to us as reality, isn't it, these days, and what's presented to us as the kind of decisions that we have to make.

01:02:58.000 To protect our economy, we should be conscripted.

01:03:00.000 We've had it so good for the last 20 or 30 years.

01:03:02.000 How many myths a man has to eat before breakfast to comply in this society?

01:03:07.000 So you're suggesting the defence budget should be up at 5% as it was during the Cold War?

01:03:11.000 It takes time to procure the ships, the planes, the tanks and so forth.

01:03:16.000 What we do need to do is quickly move to 2.5% and then eventually 3%.

01:03:20.000 In the Cold War it was about 4%.

01:03:21.000 The equipment is good, it's just not enough to deal with all the threats that we're dealing with.

01:03:26.000 This is lobbying.

01:03:27.000 How's that news?

01:03:28.000 Hello, here's the news.

01:03:29.000 Give some more money to the government.

01:03:31.000 Do you want to pay more taxes?

01:03:32.000 When you look at a conflict like Afghanistan or Iraq or the impending one in Iran, do you think, do you know what we need?

01:03:37.000 More wars.

01:03:38.000 When you look at the two trillion dollars spent in Afghanistan, do you think we should do more of that?

01:03:42.000 That was a good use of public expenditure.

01:03:44.000 When you hear about those free service personnel dying tragically in Jordan, do you think we need more of this?

01:03:48.000 Why isn't there someone on the news right now saying, do you know what we need to do?

01:03:51.000 We need to get over to Moscow right now and resolve this.

01:03:54.000 Our world is no longer at peace.

01:03:55.000 We're moving to a world at war.

01:03:56.000 Britain now isn't even functioning as a democracy anymore so the thing that we're protecting 0.78

01:04:00.000 doesn't exist, it's bloody ridiculous, there's a giddy escalation in the Middle East and 1.00

01:04:04.000 we're paying for it. 0.96

01:04:05.000 Either it is some of our business and we should get out there and resolve it peacefully or

01:04:08.000 it's none of our business and we should get involved.

01:04:10.000 What's this weird third option where we should spend a bunch of money making it worse?

01:04:14.000 Our world is no longer at peace, we're moving to a world at war, Britain absolutely has

01:04:20.000 a role to play but we need to upgrade our defence posture.

01:04:24.000 Essentially, that was a brightly lit, shiny flawed way of telling you, give us your money

01:04:29.000 and your children.

01:04:30.000 I mean, that's a pretty heavy plea, isn't it?

01:04:32.000 Can we just get to the weather? 1.00

01:04:34.000 Here's the weather, climate change, and that's your fucking fault and all. 0.98

01:04:37.000 Just to get you over the line, here's former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who literally personally went to Ukraine to scupper that was going to bring about peace between Russia and Ukraine, according to a Ukrainian diplomat, telling you that we should join the army. 0.99

01:04:51.000 Oh my God.

01:04:53.000 Lance Corporal Johnson reporting for duty and responding to the appeal from General Sanders for a citizen army and encouraging young people across the country to think of the attractions, advantages of some kind of military training or service.

01:05:09.000 Because at the moment they think it's either Uncool or unethical?

01:05:13.000 I think, actually, that people that join the army are fantastic and bold and brave.

01:05:17.000 I spent time once with the marines in the United States.

01:05:20.000 Yeah, Camp Pendleton, baby.

01:05:21.000 I've spent time around the military in this country.

01:05:24.000 I've got friends from school that joined the services.

01:05:26.000 I've got nothing but respect for them.

01:05:27.000 But the idea that young people should give their lives ultimately for a corporate, elitist, globalist agenda is risible.

01:05:35.000 Use those values.

01:05:36.000 Use that desire for service to literally oppose these people.

01:05:40.000 Or perhaps They're not following General Sanders, they're following Colonel Sanders. 1.00

01:05:47.000 Especially that I've just admitted that they think you're bloody idiots that eat fast food all the time. 1.00

01:05:51.000 So there you go, an old Etonian Oxford graduate, former Prime Minister, who belonged to the 1.00

01:05:57.000 Bullingdon Club that smashed up restaurants for a laugh, named their club after a jail where

01:06:01.000 working-class people spend time incarcerated, often for the crime of being poor or addicted

01:06:06.000 to drugs, which are, it could be argued, social and economic conditions in themselves, arguing

01:06:10.000 that you should go straight out of the prisons or straight from the streets and into the war, 0.81

01:06:14.000 and you should be paying more taxes to fund your own death.

01:06:17.000 It's a pretty good system that they've got here.

01:06:19.000 Don't go voting for anyone except those two centralised parties.

01:06:23.000 Wouldn't want to tinker with this system now.

01:06:25.000 Or could we have something a lot more beautiful, a lot more robust, a lot more powerful if we united against that very system and used this will, this verve and these principles of individual sovereignty and community action to oppose them?

01:06:38.000 I think yes.

01:06:40.000 No. 1.00

01:06:41.000 Here's the fucking news! 0.99

01:06:45.000 Thank you for joining me for our World War 3 special. 0.99

01:06:49.000 Let us pray together that we make it through this extraordinary year.

01:06:52.000 Next Wednesday we are doing one of our favourite subjects, it's Conspiracy Theory to Conspiracy Fact.

01:06:58.000 How many times have we made this transition over the last few years?

01:07:03.000 Then on Friday we've got a Culture War special looking at key cultural figures, Shane Gillis, Dave Chappelle, and how the culture war seeks to reposition people according to its agenda.

01:07:12.000 Remember, you get additional content every single week if you become a member of our Awakened Wonder community over on Locals.

01:07:20.000 Also, if you become an Awakened Wonder, you get to be a member of our book club.

01:07:23.000 We're looking at C.S.

01:07:24.000 Lewis.

01:07:25.000 You get to do a meditation with us every single week.

01:07:28.000 We discuss the solutions together as a community, as well as providing exclusive video content, whether it's on chemtrails, a variety of subjects.

01:07:37.000 I want to welcome our new members like Hot Mama, Jay Wohlstedt, Covenu, TheYankees02, and so many more of you.

01:07:44.000 Thanks for your support.

01:07:45.000 Join us next Wednesday, not for more of the same, but for more of the different.
