00:00:36.000A little bit later we'll be doing Crack On.
00:00:37.000That's our recovery program where we talk about how to use 12-step recovery to detach yourself from whatever it is you're addicted to right now.
00:01:37.000It's in particular talking about the idea of anti-migration.
00:01:40.000You know in the UK it's not easy to talk about immigration.
00:01:43.000You know my position, economic migrants are not in the and of themselves a powerful group.
00:01:49.000I'm very very interested to see how the Islamification, if that's the term you want to use, is being used to destabilize native populations and create a generalized deterioration.
00:02:01.000I was interested to see Tucker talking about it on his show.
00:02:05.000He said any city you go to in the world that's not under Sharia law seems to be in decline.
00:02:18.000Me, as you know, I'm not looking to instigate anti-Muslim or anti-Jewish feeling.
00:02:27.000I reckon what's really required is democracy and let domestic populations vote for migration policies that please them and cultural and civic rules that are reflective of their own values.
00:02:38.000Then, you know, ideologies are less important when you have actual democracy.
00:02:42.000Then you can have true variety instead of fake diversity.
00:02:45.000Let's have a look at this TV show though, which is normalizing a set of opinions that will likely ultimately be used to restrict your freedom.
00:02:52.000The show's called The Capture and here's a, well, it starts off with a scene.
00:03:40.000Listen, I'm being deliberately glib because if the BBC can create dramatic scenarios using actors and props, why can't we create dramatic scenarios using words?
00:03:52.000Well, because when we do it, it's misinformation.
00:04:09.000Whitlock, like in it, a fictional sort of online pundit, who's very much like the sort of person Joe would probably follow for a chemtrail video, has gone rogue and has started sniping at life boats full of kiddie winks refuging their way to the UK.
00:04:28.000I'm a Christian and a human being, and I believe that it's our duty to look after one another, take care of one another, particularly widows and the fatherless.
00:04:36.000Them people, they need loving and looking after.
00:04:38.000I suppose the real question is: are migrants in the UK being used to create social unrest?
00:06:23.000That's why no one should be allowed on 4chan.
00:06:25.000No one should be allowed the internet.
00:06:27.000No one should be allowed Freedom of Information Act requests.
00:06:30.000All of us should just settle down and drink estrogen till we're nothing but a puddle of menstruation.
00:06:37.000Because sending you the posts that got him kicked off the platform.
00:06:42.000Our history books say the last land invasion of England was 1066.
00:06:47.000In actual fact, the last land invasion of England was yesterday morning at 9:45 when a boat carrying 40 undocumented male migrants landed in Dungeness, Kent.
00:07:23.000But his real ingenuity is that he's managed to scavenger hunt himself and assault rifle in an island where it's very difficult to get hold of a penny whistle.
00:11:14.000How are they going to tell us that it's bad for us to have information?
00:11:18.000Let's see how they ingeniously frame this.
00:11:21.000Right, so Freedom of Information Act requests are, as the name suggests, the ability of ordinary people to write to government departments and ask for money.
00:11:40.000Whitlock hanging around by a bramble bush with a rifle trying to shoot the one migrant baby in the last 10 years.
00:11:47.000Researchers digging into matters of public interest that private companies or state entities would prefer to keep under wraps.
00:11:54.000It's therefore alarming that government officials in the UK are raising concerns that intelligence agencies from hostile states, notably China, could be using them to gain access to sensitive information.
00:12:35.000To gain sensitive information, the officials told the Financial Times they've picked out a pan of FIA requests related to defense and security matters.
00:12:52.000Which pointed to involvement of Beijing.
00:12:54.000FIO legislation requires the person requesting information to provide their real name, physical address, proof of identity, not mandatory, making it possible for the request to disguise who they are.
00:13:04.000Although only unclassified material can be right, right?
00:13:32.000All right, let's see what GB News is saying.
00:13:34.000GB News discussed tactics used by the BBC and how previous FOIA requests show the UK government as long liaised with mainstream media to embed approved messaging in dramas, soap operas, nudging public opinion.
00:13:45.000Because you might think it ridiculous that a TV drama is presenting political information in a way to create a certain impression among the public.
00:13:56.000But you know that in your country, Hollywood has long liaised with the deep state.
00:14:00.000That's why for ages of all those positive movies about CIA stars, every major movie star at some point plays a CIA agent, don't they?
00:14:08.000Baldwin and Cruz and everybody, some handsome, swarthy CIA man.
00:14:13.000And in my country too, it much sort of more low-budget British sort of like, oh, mate, illsya propaganda.
00:14:21.000Here's a GB News, a British media company, revealing that for a long time, and in particular during the COVID pandemic, propaganda was embedded within dramas, not just news.
00:14:32.000We all know that news is nothing but propaganda, but they also do it within, you know, dramas.
00:14:37.000Like in EastEnders, it's a very popular, dour as fuck British soap opera, which the Americans I don't think would tolerate.
00:16:11.000This is the first time I've ever heard of this particular series called The Capture.
00:16:15.000Apparently, it's quite popular, but of course, it's gone woke down the line.
00:16:20.000The first time I heard about it was actually last night when people started tagging me in this video.
00:16:25.000And a friend of mine called Lander on X saying that the BBC is showing a character submitting FOI requests to the Home Office, considering that completely extreme, which I find absolutely absurd.
00:16:39.000That is my daily work using the Freedom of Information Act for journalism on exactly these kinds of topics.
00:17:30.000You might remember, Bev, that we did a segment not too long ago, I believe it was last year or the year before, where I submitted FOI and it exposed back in 2021 emails between the BBC,
00:17:45.000Channel 4, Sky, CEOs, and the government liaising with each other to embed vaccine messaging within soap operas, essentially public health nudges via entertainment.
00:17:59.000And the same playbook is now being used here.
00:18:05.000Here's some information about vaccine propaganda being in EastEnders.
00:18:10.000Officials at the Department of Health have been in contact with the DCMS to query Department of Culture Media to query whether ITV would be willing to assist with pro-vaccine messaging in their content.
00:18:23.000As well as iterating public health messages about the safety of vaccines, DH are keen to engage with hard to reach groups.
00:18:30.000Poor people, poor people and ethnic minorities.
00:18:34.000In particular, like it says here, lower social, economic, and beat black.
00:18:37.000And I don't know what that stands for anymore.
00:18:43.000In particular, DH has proposed writing to ITV to ask them to consider including vaccine storylines in their soaps.
00:18:49.000Whilst we do not think it would be appropriate to write to ITV on this matter, given the importance of broadcasters, operational and editorial independence, yeah, because obviously when you know, either when something's funded by the state like the BBC or funded by advertising like ITV,
00:19:04.000they are incredibly independent editorially.
00:19:07.000You may wish to explore with them whether they have already have plans.
00:19:10.000Do you already have plans to develop content?
00:19:35.000These heavily redacted documents show that as early as February 2020, more than a month before the first lockdown, DCMS met Dame Caroline McCall, the chief executive of ITV,
00:19:49.000to test the possibility of pro-vaccine messaging.
00:19:56.000You last spoke with Dame Carolyn and Magnus Brooke on 5th of January and the discussion covered a general update on the impacts of ITV business in light further C19 measures.
00:20:04.000Since that meeting, ITV have noticeably increased their engagement across DCMS and Whitehall.
00:20:08.000Recently, officials with the Department of Health have been in touch with DCMS about potential assistance from ITV in relation to pro-vaccine messaging.
00:20:15.000They make it sound so sort of cozy and gentle and kindly, but really what we're discussing now is propaganda.
00:20:22.000Pro-vaccine messaging did end up in soaps.
00:20:25.000In one episode of EastEnders, Patrick Truman told Suki Panasa, I guess these are, of course, characters from the show, this character, Patrick Truman, felt like he'd won the lottery after getting his second vaccination.
00:20:40.000In the same clip, Karen Taylor is accused of being an anti-vaxxer for worrying that developed it too quickly.
00:20:46.000But what if he causes myocarditis and miscarriage?
00:21:11.000If, as it seems, the government quietly work behind the scenes with major broadcasters to shape opinions and compliance on the draconian COVID-19 measures, this is extremely worrying.
00:21:18.000Sorry, Lord Frost, you're a good lord.
00:21:27.000In particular, it's troubling to learn there may have been a coordinated effort to hide positive messaging about lockdown measures into fictional storylines and to target them at particular groups.
00:21:35.000Actions like that blur the boundary between government and civil society and private life.
00:24:39.000Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and chat?
00:24:42.000Have you noticed how propaganda is becoming more insidious?
00:24:45.000Have you noticed, in fact, that entertainment is little more than propaganda?
00:24:48.000That's what that kind of rancor is that emerges when like a franchise like Star Wars goes all wrong.
00:24:56.000Because at first, Star Wars was, let's use our understanding of psychological archetypes to create a brilliant and accessible sci-fi drama.
00:25:05.000Then it became, let's use the same materials to create just an agenda that's about sort of civics, like badly, badly researched civics and woke ideas, godlessness, foolishness, madness, banality.
00:25:20.000But that's just why I think let me know what you think in the comments and the chat.
00:25:23.000You filthy, gorgeous band of Whitlocks.
00:25:27.000Okay, we can't make this content without the support of our partners.
00:25:38.000Rumble is the only company that stood the test of time and they deserve our support.
00:25:43.000On one side, Rumble is challenging big tech censorship, but now on the other side, they've introduced something that will give us protection from big banks shutting us off.
00:25:51.000Banks can cancel our accounts, freeze our cards.
00:26:23.000It's not only a wallet to buy and save, it also allows you to support your favorite creators by easily tipping them with a click of a button.
00:26:28.000There'll be no fees when you tip my channel or others and we actually receive the tip instantly unlike other platforms where we have to wait for payouts.
00:26:35.000Support my show and other creators by clicking the tip button on my Rumble channel.
00:27:01.000Watch us there and get Rumble Premium to get access not just to my content and the additional content of our whole little group here, but also a whole bunch of other people like Crowder and Poole and all the other folks that Rumble have deals with.
00:27:14.000Alright then, that's, I think, the best and simplest way to describe it.
00:30:22.000Get down to Dover with an assault rifle that you've somehow put together out of lolly sticks and Cadbury's chocolate and tea bags and shoot yourself a baby migrant you fucking racist scums.
00:30:35.000I've got plenty of time to think about it, you know.
00:33:35.000It's really, really, and that, yeah, it's a sort of an interesting insight into how evil operates.
00:33:41.000It doesn't, it's like everyone involved in the whole process, just some actors, some bureaucrats, everyone just telling you they're trying to help everyone involved.
00:35:31.000Like when he was stat, well, perhaps it was.
00:35:33.000Perhaps the police force was always established with the intention of we can then decide who we criminalize and who we don't criminalize.
00:35:42.000And maybe all that's being revealed is our nostalgic ideas about the good old Bobby on the beat, heartbeat, happier times, just a bobby on a bicycle protecting the community.
00:35:55.000It's interesting because most people in the police, probably including those police officers there, I pray got involved because they out of a sense of civic duty and compassion and want to protect people, really good values.
00:38:26.000This week on Crack On, we're going to talk about some aspects of, as Joe says, we do use 12-step literature, even though we are not affiliated with any 12-step group.
00:38:36.000And it seems to me today to be that we're talking about willingness, steps six and seven, and prayer.
00:38:43.000Joe, did you select this, my dear friend?
00:39:21.000Which is pretty cool of how that happened this week.
00:39:24.000I know we can't share who, but me and Russell went to go help a guy.
00:39:29.000And like in it, I feel like God showed up and told us, hey, read the bedevilments, which is exactly what he probably needed to hear at that time, I think.
00:39:39.000God told Dave to read the bedevilments.
00:39:41.000We were doing the 12-step thing, and I didn't have no idea what to talk about.
00:39:46.000But I kept going, I'm going to read the big book.
00:39:49.000And there was resistance to reading the big book.
00:39:51.000But eventually when the resistance yielded, I realized that I didn't have no, I didn't know, I didn't have a pre-i predetermined idea of what to read from the big book.
00:40:02.000And I just went to Dave, what should I read?
00:40:15.00012-step calls, like when, or when you're working with someone just in that, trying to stay in that prayer mode, that sixth sense where you're just asking God, okay, give me the words.
00:40:27.000Like you're praying in your head and you know that no amount of your cleverness or your skill is what's going to help this person.
00:40:36.000This person needs a spiritual experience.
00:40:39.000I mean, that's the main object of the whole 12 steps anyway, is to help you find a relationship with God.
00:40:46.000And so like you're in that prayer mode of just going, okay, God, just give me the thoughts.
00:40:57.000It's out of page 52 out of the big book.
00:41:02.000And in this chapter, it's talking, it's we agnostic.
00:41:05.000So it's talking about how we need a relationship with God, some power greater than ourselves.
00:41:12.000It talks a lot about laying aside prejudice and just expressing some sort of willingness to have whatever your conception is at the time, some sort of willingness.
00:41:24.000And it says this, we had to ask ourselves why we shouldn't apply to our human problems the same readiness to change our point of view.
00:41:33.000We were having trouble with personal relationships.
00:41:35.000We couldn't control our emotional natures.
00:41:38.000We were a prey to misery and depression.
00:41:59.000When we saw others solve their problems by simple reliance upon the spirit of the universe, we had to stop doubting the power of God.
00:42:06.000Our ideas did not work, but the God I did did.
00:42:10.000I like the word bedevilments because I like how literal it is.
00:42:16.000Bedevil, like the devil is in you when you are experiencing these things, governed by your emotional nature.
00:42:24.000There's a very pagan idea too, of course, like that the humors would be on you, like, you know, the God of Mars is with you.
00:42:32.000Aphrodite shot by Cupid's arrow, Eros, that when your emotions are on you, there's nothing you can do about it.
00:42:39.000The Stoics, the Stoicism is the idea that you can, through sort of will, martialed will, handle it.
00:42:47.000And Christianity is through following Christ, by discipling him, you can similarly overcome him, even in spite of a level of fallibility and vulnerability that Stoicism obviously don't afford you.
00:43:00.000Stoicism suggests that you have of your own metal and from your own power sufficient resources to confront him.
00:43:08.000I thought it was a very good choice to use because in a way, some people's addiction issues, and I'm thinking about my own when I came in and Joe's and what I know of yours there, Dave,
00:43:23.000is it's like if someone's a using drug addict or an alcoholic where you can sort of just point to example after example of well, yeah, but hold on, you got drunk and then you beat that bloke up, or you got drunk, then you lost that job,
00:43:36.000or you were found taking drugs at this thing.
00:43:39.000Like I was such a delightful little pamphlet fodder, like I was the sort of drug addict that you could use to sort of go, see, look, that's what drug addiction looks like.
00:43:48.000Because look, he's getting these opportunities and he's ruining them because he's literally, look, taking drugs now.
00:43:54.000It's not like it was subtle or anything.
00:43:57.000It's like, we've got to get out of here.
00:44:38.000Like that despair that I, you know, I know that I've had that in the last 48 hours.
00:44:43.000So, Joe, how do you want to square that with what you want to read?
00:44:48.000And with, you know, I see you're going to read something from page 76 of the same text.
00:44:54.000I was just reading over those bedevilments and like that's the that's what gets you into these character defects, isn't it?
00:45:01.000All that feeling of like despair and you're trying to like hold it together and then the most basic thing can just send you over the edge and you can become intolerant and angry and kick off and cause harm, you know.
00:45:12.000And like, mate, I've been in it the last like couple of weeks, I guess, that feeling of uselessness and just really a heightened state of agitation through doing a lot of travel and stuff and just doing too much and then trying to plan too far into the future.
00:45:28.000And then in the end, it feels fucking, I just get into complete despair so fucking quickly, man.
00:49:10.000And if you think about that, think about, like, say when you're actually in it, in a moment of the bedevilment, say, governed by your emotional nature, feeling of uselessness.
00:49:21.000Like, I wonder what the endocrenal or neurological correlative of that is.
00:49:26.000I wonder if it's just like what it is in terms of your circuitry of your mind in the production of whatever hormones, what's ever happening in your endocrenal system.
00:49:36.000But I know that it's a sort of a closed circuit.
00:49:39.000I feel like it would be a closed circuit.
00:49:42.000And so when you do a step five with someone else, step five is when someone reads you their history of resentments and problems, which could be as discursive and as deep as this happened to me when I was five.
00:50:00.000The way that I do it these days is I get the, because this is how I was taught to do it by the great Tim M, is like, they write down loads of stuff.
00:50:09.000They write like you write down, this is how to do a step four, five, the old school big book way.
00:50:16.000You start by writing down everyone you knew between zero and five.
00:50:20.000Okay, well, just that's my mum and dad, Vera and Don, my grandparents, they're next door neighbours, like grandparents, you know, you're not going to know that many people were between naught and five, are you?
00:50:31.000Then between five and ten, you've got now to all the people at your school and you can you notice that 10 to 15, you start to know more people, 15 to 20.
00:50:52.000Or like, you know, like, there'll be like, obviously when you're a little child, there might be some sort of sexual abuse or whatever, but it might just be someone was a bit mean to you or something.
00:51:02.000Anyway, then once you've done that, you'll get a sort of a scope of what your life is.
00:51:07.000You're also, in addition to people, you do places and things, even concepts like the concept of marriage or, in my case, the government, the media.
00:51:16.000Big, vast sort of institutions that I resent.
00:51:20.000Then you write down, you have to, when you do it with someone like Tim, he'll make you, in the second column, he'll make you be very specific about what you resent.
00:51:55.000You can't just go, cause he doesn't love me or he was mean to me.
00:51:59.000Because otherwise you're still in your projection of reality and your projection of reality is the problem.
00:52:08.000Now Dave thinks that the third column, where it identifies the seven areas of self that have likely one or all, or you know, or between one and all of these seven areas have been triggered whenever there's a resentment.
00:52:20.000And those areas are, pride, what I think others think of me self-esteem, what I think of myself, personal relations the script I give others, sexual relations, as above, but pertaining to sex ambitions, what I want in general, security I think that should mean what I need to be okay and pocketbooks, or finances self-explanatory, does it affect you monetarily or financially?
00:52:41.000Sometimes you'll write out a resentment and you'll realize that every single one of those areas is affected.
00:52:47.000Like, oh my god, it does affect my pride, it does affect my self-esteem, it does affect my personal relations, my sexual relations, my ambitions, my security, my pocketbook.
00:52:53.000That's like when you've got that you think, no wonder, like that i'm in this state because every area of self is affected.
00:53:00.000Now Dave believes that the third column, that's the one where the seven areas of self are listed, is the most important column, whereas i've always thought the fourth column, which is essentially where you're asked eight questions am I making a mistake?
00:53:15.000And that could be saying like oh, you know, i'm clinging on to the past or i've made this person a god, or actually I lied to that person earlier and thinking about it, I did ask them to come around my, you know.
00:53:24.000I mean like it's weird, stuff like that you've not admitted to in order to maintain a resentment.
00:53:30.000Then it asks, am I being selfish, self-seeking or dishonest?
00:53:33.000Then it asks, what are your defects of character?
00:53:35.000A list of flaws somewhat comparable to that list in the third column, but including different things like arrogance jealousy impatience, stuff like that.
00:53:55.000You will generally uncover that even a sort of relatively minor fear, like my mum gave me coffee, will lead to something like that I didn't like will lead to something really profound and sort of awful like that's.
00:54:08.000That's generally the experience, that you're responding on the surface to something quite minor potentially, but then down deep it's a sort of a core belief, Or sometimes it's a resentment where someone kicked your head in or abused you or stole a load of money,
00:54:25.000in which case the resentment is a somewhat more obvious, but still there's no such thing as a justified resentment because, in any circumstance, you want to be free of that feeling in order to proceed.
00:54:38.000And that's where the Christian principle of forgiveness, which I'm increasingly recognizing, is almost like the fuel of participation in the great reality.
00:54:48.000That if you've got anything that you've not forgiven, and I've really been praying in a sort of a Davidian way, almost like search me, search me, show me what I've not forgiven, or show me what I need to do.
00:55:00.000Like, you know, like, like the thing is, again, with being a follower of Christ, is that your forgiveness is granted to you by grace, by his sacrifice.
00:55:08.000But that doesn't mean that you wouldn't, you know, participate in an amends process.
00:55:13.000Dave, I've got some questions to ask you about that.
00:55:16.000Well, firstly, anything off the back of what I've just said, but you know, what you think is pivotal about those seven attributes in the seven areas of self in the third column, and maybe also the importance of forgiveness.
00:55:31.000Well, so to tie to tie it into where we started, like when we read the bedevilments, that's right before we're about to hit the self, right?
00:55:42.000So it's building up to 62 where it's like selfishness, self-centeredness.
00:55:46.000That's, we think, is the root of our trouble.
00:55:48.000So when you're seeing those bedevilments, you're like, okay, like identify.
00:55:52.000It's, you know, when you're talking to someone and you're, you, you give them a description of what happened to you, and they're like, yes, that's me.
00:57:22.000And so I think of that specifics, but when you talk about the, I don't necessarily don't think that the third column is necessarily more important.
00:57:34.000I think the whole thing's important, right?
00:57:35.000Like there's no column that's more important.
00:57:38.000I do think the third column is the most telling for me in my experience so far because one thing I notice and when someone's doing a fist up, when we get to like the third or fourth resentment,
00:57:52.000usually I've almost every time now, whatever they're leaving off on the third column is the thing that they need to see.
00:58:00.000And so I'll have an idea going in and I'll be like, okay, you know, this is his general pattern or this is what I think.
00:58:07.000You know, he uses self-pity to get what he wants or whatever.
00:58:11.000And then when they actually start doing it, it's always something that I didn't foresee.
00:58:16.000And it's usually what they're leaving off in their third column is that thing that they're not seeing in order to help them like break free of those resentments.
00:58:26.000I suppose that makes sense, Dave, because presumably if a person was aware of it, it wouldn't create that type of malaise.
00:58:47.000And you're going, okay, well, one, if you cannot get rid of it, and that's where when you mentioned scripture of like search me and that we need to, you know, be as a Christian, like the concept of forgiveness,
00:59:03.000I have to see, I have to see, I have to work through that a lot of times.
00:59:08.000I can't just be like, okay, I just forgive them and I'm not going to have any feelings around it.
00:59:13.000It's like, I can forgive someone and then still be holding resentment.
00:59:18.000And so I go, okay, I know that I'm supposed to forgive them.
00:59:20.000I know that what really you're seeing when you're doing that inventory is you're letting go of your power around that and going, okay, I'm not the, they didn't, it's not against me.
00:59:46.000So third column, I think, is it's showing me God-given things that I like, my needs, you know, self-esteem, security, like those things are things that I need.
00:59:59.000And so as just a broken human, but the way that I go about it is by short-circuiting God.
01:00:07.000And so it's not that I needed security or I needed pride or I needed money.
01:00:11.000It's instead of trusting God in it, I went around God to try and get those needs met myself.
