00:00:07.000 Ladies and gentlemen, Russell Brandon trying to bring real journalism to the American people.
00:00:17.000 Hello there you Awakening Wonders.
00:00:18.000 Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand.
00:00:20.000 Thank you Tim Cast for the raid.
00:00:22.000 Thank you Mug Club for the raid. 0.92
00:00:23.000 Wherever you're watching us make your way over to Rumble.
00:00:25.000 We're talking about a variety of subjects today.
00:00:26.000 We're talking about Colbert has been cancelled.
00:00:29.000 We're talking about riots all the way across the UK and people being flung in prison in the United Kingdom simply for protesting.
00:00:38.000 What's going on in my country?
00:00:39.000 Let me know in the comments and chat if you are from there.
00:00:42.000 This is a time for us to awaken urgently and immediately.
00:00:46.000 Wherever you're watching this, we need you to be an active member of our community.
00:00:49.000 If you don't have Rumble Premium yet, get Rumble Premium now.
00:00:52.000 The details of how to get it there, you not only get extra content from me, but also from Colbert, not from Colbert, that guy's not getting a job on Rumble, but also from Glenn Greenwald, Mug Club, Timcast, a whole variety of fantastic contributors.
00:01:08.000 Now then, NATO's got a lot of work to do.
00:01:11.000 NATO must be ready for two-front conflict with Russia and China.
00:01:14.000 It's going to be tricky, but at least that guy's a Nazi, so he's going to be committed, it looks like.
00:01:19.000 Before we get into the Russell Brand unpacked story, the United States is still in spasms of despair and confusion over the Epstein files and the failure to release them.
00:01:29.000 Here's Rokana talking about Mike Johnson shutting down Congress early.
00:01:33.000 Look at how democracies work these days, whether it's in my country, the UK or the United States of America, whether it's under Trump or Kamala.
00:01:40.000 Doesn't it seem strange that we can't access, that we can't get the disclosure and transparency that some will believe is your democratic, American, and British right?
00:01:50.000 So Thomas Massey is saying tonight that if the House closes up for the summer without this vote, it's just going to get worse in September.
00:02:00.000 What is the state of play in this breaking news situation right now, tonight, on your discharge petition?
00:02:06.000 Well, more and more Republicans are joining the call for a discharge petition, but the Speaker is not willing to have a vote.
00:02:14.000 You know, let's just speak plainly, because we use all these complex words, discharge petition.
00:02:19.000 Sometimes I think Congress is sort of a priesthood, which uses obscure and arcane language to confuse the American people.
00:02:24.000 Here's the bottom line.
00:02:26.000 There's a majority of the Congress that has the votes to release the Epstein files.
00:02:31.000 We have a majority of the votes.
00:02:32.000 And the problem is that we're not having a vote.
00:02:34.000 And that's the dirty secret in Washington.
00:02:37.000 It's not how you vote.
00:02:38.000 It's that most of these things never come up for a vote.
00:02:41.000 And all a discharge petition is saying...
00:02:51.000 And I say that as a person who recognized the election of Trump was a necessity in order to stop America collapsing into a level of globalist imperialism, the likes of which the world has not yet seen, except in the United Kingdom, which I'll be talking about a little later.
00:03:04.000 Here's Thomas Massey on his investigation into the Epstein farm.
00:03:09.000 I was wondering, with the paralysis in the Rules Committee, it seems like they're not going to be meeting again today because of the Epstein amendments.
00:03:17.000 Have you chatted with anybody about that discourse?
00:03:20.000 Well, it wouldn't really matter.
00:03:21.000 Their Epstein bill resolution is non-binding, so it's kind of fake.
00:03:28.000 The resolution that I have co-sponsored with Rokana would actually bring up legislation that would be binding for the president.
00:03:36.000 Is your understanding that that will ripen the day after lawmakers get back from the August recess?
00:03:41.000 Yeah, unfortunately, we have six days and we needed seven days for the discharge petition to ripen before we could bring this up before the August recess.
00:03:51.000 So we'll have to bring it up after the August recess.
00:03:54.000 But the good news is the Speaker has no interest in keeping us here one extra day.
00:04:01.000 Let's have a look at Trump posting on Thomas Massey moments after this.
00:04:05.000 Thomas Massey, the worst Republican congressman, and almost a guaranteed no vote on each and every time.
00:04:10.000 Embarrassment to Kentucky. 1.00
00:04:11.000 Lazy, slow moving, totally disingenuous, a real loser. 1.00
00:04:14.000 Never has anything positive to add. 0.98
00:04:16.000 Looking for someone good to run against this guy, someone I can endorse and vigorously campaign for.
00:04:20.000 Massey responded.
00:04:22.000 I introduced the only binding congressional legislation to release the Epstein files and already have 20 sponsors.
00:04:27.000 In return, the attacks on me intensified.
00:04:28.000 As you can guess, I'm not backing down.
00:04:29.000 I'm fighting, but I need your support to stay in the ring.
00:04:34.000 Well, there you go.
00:04:35.000 So there are certainly ongoing conversations about the nature of democracy, the nature of the deep state, the ability of powerful interest to conceal information that might change the way that people feel about American democracy, whether you're a Republican or a Democrat.
00:04:48.000 Perhaps if we found our identity in Christ rather than other fallible human beings just like us, we would have a closer connection to reality and we'll be better nourished and better served in so doing.
00:04:58.000 Now, we've got a lot to talk about in this show.
00:05:00.000 Colbert's show has been cancelled in a way.
00:05:03.000 But isn't that precisely what was warranted after his extraordinary displays in advocating for the interests of the state, whether that was vaccines or shutting down conversations about the power of the deep state and of spy agencies?
00:05:15.000 It's an extraordinary story in lots of ways.
00:05:17.000 We'll get into that in just a moment.
00:05:19.000 Before that, though, the UK is about to break down into total despair.
00:05:25.000 Everybody knows it.
00:05:26.000 And if you're an American and you want to know what could happen if you don't ensure the principles of democracy in your republic are regarded, you need look no further than the UK.
00:05:35.000 Here's Russell Brand unpacked on migration.
00:05:41.000 The migration crisis in the UK is on the very precipice of absolute meltdown and conflagration.
00:05:47.000 In Essex, the county that I am from, the New Jersey of the UK, riots are already commencing as a result of a sexual assault incident in a hostel for asylum seekers.
00:06:00.000 Many people in the UK feel that there is a disproportionate amount of abuse, violence and rape being generated by migrants.
00:06:08.000 Indeed, Tommy Robinson's resurgence is somewhat based upon people's acceptance that there is a statistical anomaly when it comes to Pakistani rape gangs and some confusion about why an inquiry was not undertaken earlier.
00:06:22.000 So is this issue about to come to a head?
00:06:25.000 And whether you're on the left or the right, surely we're all agreed that rape is a bad, bad thing, and whatever we have to do to annihilate this scourge from our culture, we will do together.
00:06:37.000 Let's get into this story.
00:06:38.000 I'm from Essex, and I know what the people of Essex are about because, well, I am them.
00:06:43.000 And I will tell you now that if things are kicking off in Essex, things is going to get lairy fast.
00:06:49.000 Let's have a look at this story in detail.
00:06:55.000 Yep, that's where I grew up.
00:06:56.000 It keeps kicking off.
00:07:02.000 And the anger is all too familiar.
00:07:05.000 It started in Epping after a 38-year-old Ethiopian man was charged with sexual assault.
00:07:14.000 The alleged victim was a local teenage girl.
00:07:18.000 In court, it was confirmed that he had recently arrived on a small boat.
00:07:22.000 Since then, violence has continued around the Bell Hotel, which has been home to asylum seekers for several years. 1.00
00:07:30.000 Asylum seeker is an interesting piece of language.
00:07:35.000 There's no question that there are many people from around the world seeking asylum.
00:07:39.000 There's no question that the UK has a history that means that there's some responsibility for the disruption caused by colonialism, imperialism, corporatism, the exploitation of various nations.
00:07:50.000 Who's paying that price though?
00:07:52.000 When they put asylum seekers in hotels, are they in Kensington? 0.85
00:07:56.000 Are they in Oxfordshire?
00:07:59.000 Are they in the quaint towns and cities where most members of parliament dwell?
00:08:04.000 No, they put the asylum seekers near working class people, almost as if they benefit from ongoing social unrest. 0.93
00:08:12.000 When I have my conversation with Tommy Robinson next week, the one thing that I might focus on is the possibility working people of all races and nationalities find ways to live together harmoniously.
00:08:25.000 And if there is an electoral mandate to control, limit or even end asylum as a result of the will of the British people, then that should be observed. 0.99
00:08:35.000 But until then, and with people that live here already, there has to be some harmony and peace.
00:08:40.000 But asylum seekers also is perhaps not the appropriate term for someone that's committing sexual offences, raping or assaulting young girls.
00:08:48.000 There's another term for that, one with which I'm all too familiar as a result of allegations levelled against me.
00:08:53.000 Thank the Lord I have the opportunity to attend trial so those things can be addressed.
00:08:58.000 You can see why the British people are so infuriated and angered that these disgusting crimes are taking place in their land, in their country, that their ancestors built, that their taxes pay for, while their opinions and their voices are shut down and not heard.
00:09:15.000 I knew about it and I can agree with what they're doing, totally can agree with it and I would have come along but what stopped me coming along was I was frightened case it turned nasty you know and it did the police are demanding it stops how on earth would you allow it to happen feelings are running high the violence left eight police officers injured we will always facilitate
00:09:46.000 peaceful protest you'll notice that the accents of the police officers and the accents of the protesters are the same they're the same people from the same community being turned against one another by a manipulative authoritarian government that claims that mass migration is a result of compassion care and duty rather than exploitation disruption and part of a global agenda to cause despair across indigenous native populations compassion and
00:10:14.000 harmony care duty love service these are the most significant and important christian principles or willingness to sacrifice yourself up until the point of death do you imagine let me know in the comments and chat that your government in the uk are running in accordance with those principles or do you feel that what they're trying to create is despondency disruption and despair we'll also always make sure that the voice of our community is heard what we will not tolerate is those random acts of violence that we saw last night there's no question that in hostile hot
00:10:44.000 climates random acts of violence do occur and there's no question that once a kind of mob mentality descends or ascends whatever you want to call it that there is an increase in irrational and ridiculous violence at the moment the uk feels like a leaderless land lost and directionless without a nucleus without clear direction without love or compassion or guidance falling apart in a conflagration how heartbreaking it is to know that this beautiful country these beautiful people right
00:11:14.000 where i am from are in this discomfort and this despair because of bad government there's a bad policies bad ideas that seem to reach beyond ineptitude and right into cruelty arrests have already been made the warning is clear if you do this you can expect the police at your door you can expect the police at your door anyway they're coming to your door for what you're posting on the internet they'll find a reason to arrest you if you're outspoken if you're confident if you're strong if you've got beliefs in god if
00:11:43.000 you've got belief in anything other than total submission and compliance for the state rather than submission to a higher power a higher authority something that might light you up and liven you right up if you've got anything other than that they'll find a way of shutting you down believe this flashpoint has some of the hallmarks of the rioting that spread through towns and cities last summer years of anger over immigration whipped up online hundreds of people were jailed for their part in those riots but
00:12:10.000 this deep-seated frustration didn't disappear despite repeated government promises to address the small boats in the channel they continue to cross 398 people arrived yesterday on the french side near calais migrants have clashed with police managing this movement of people is an ongoing battle and the way it's filtered into communities across
00:12:40.000 the uk like here in epping has consequences the tension has been growing growing over weeks maybe months we can't make this content without the support of our partners here's a message from one now free speech is under attack Jack but Rumble refuses to take it lying down rumble is farting out the fierce cock of authoritarianism and clamping shut the butt cheeks of free speech, baby.
00:13:08.000 We've always believed in empowering voices, no matter how unpopular, and now we're taking that fight to the next level.
00:13:13.000 When major advertisers conspired to pull their dollary dues, even brands like Dunking Donuts turned their back, claiming Rumble had a right-wing culture.
00:13:21.000 But we're not here to fit a mold.
00:13:23.000 We're here to defend free expression.
00:13:26.000 How dare you?
00:13:27.000 How dare you?

00:14:54.000 You've only got to be a person who speaks with a slightly different accent or a slightly different colour and you're sitting on a bench in the middle of town in one of the greens and you're immediately branded as being an asylum seeker from the Bell.
00:15:10.000 The government wants to close asylum seeker hotels but that will take years. 0.95
00:15:15.000 They described the asylum system they inherited as broken.
00:15:20.000 Remember that?
00:15:21.000 Trope?
00:15:22.000 You blame the previous administration or the previous government.
00:15:26.000 How quickly were they able to herd us into our homes?
00:15:29.000 How quickly were they able to distribute a vaccine with potentially negative side effects, maybe even mortality?
00:15:36.000 How slow they are to conduct a thorough inquiry?
00:15:39.000 How quickly they can vote themselves into pay rises? 0.91
00:15:42.000 How quickly they can find the money for war?
00:15:45.000 Oh, when it comes to reflecting and respecting the will of the people, it takes years.
00:15:50.000 It always takes years to do what we want.
00:15:53.000 It always takes seconds to do what they want.
00:15:56.000 Like time herself moves more elegantly and gracefully when bent to their perpetual and centralized will.
00:16:04.000 Well, how else are we to oppose this level of corruption, except en masse, together and on the streets?
00:16:10.000 Let me know what you think in the comments in the chat.
00:16:14.000 That ain't good, man.
00:16:15.000 That's police fans plowing down protesters.
00:16:17.000 Now, whether they are pro-Palestine or anti-migration, you should have a consistent perspective on the police.
00:16:24.000 If we believe in free speech, yeah, then whether people are pro-Israel or pro-Palestine, they should have the right to protest.
00:16:30.000 Whether they're pro-migration or anti-migration, they should have the right to protest.
00:16:34.000 But what's becoming clear is that people are being brought out of their homes and onto the street because democracy has failed.
00:16:41.000 Politics has failed.
00:16:42.000 The media has failed.
00:16:44.000 I have enough personal experience, both as a person that's from Essex, as a person that's been a drug addict, as a person that's been arrested many times, who knows now from inside and out how the establishment operates, whether that's the BBC that I've worked for, the Channel 4 that I have worked for, all of these various newspapers that have turned against me.
00:17:03.000 I know the corruption of these systems.
00:17:05.000 I know their intention.
00:17:07.000 I know who they serve and what they consider worthwhile, who they consider to be disposable, killable, expendable.
00:17:14.000 It's you.
00:17:15.000 They hate ordinary English people.
00:17:17.000 They hate the working class people of Essex. 0.80
00:17:20.000 Whether you're white or brown or Christian or atheist, they want you divided.
00:17:25.000 They want you at each other's throats.
00:17:27.000 What they don't want necessarily is mass civil disobedience that's targeted specifically towards the government and the media.
00:17:32.000 Never trust the media. 1.00
00:17:34.000 Don't spend your money on their crap. 1.00
00:17:36.000 Oppose them. 1.00
00:17:37.000 Of course, we know that many of these media organisations have offices throughout London.
00:17:42.000 The Guardian newspaper, Times newspaper, News International.
00:17:46.000 Whether they're lying to you about migration, whether they're lying to you about rape gangs, whether they're lying to you about Millie Dower, these liars maintain their power because of our acquiescence, because of our lack of organisation, because of our unwillingness to sacrifice.
00:18:01.000 But one thing the BBC and I agree on right now is that this will be a summer of riots.
00:18:06.000 And the BBC, they've done such a wonderful job of masking the malfeasance of many, many sex offenders and paedophiles.
00:18:13.000 Note the people they like to target and spuriously accuse of sex crimes versus the people whose peculiar crimes they seem to have participated in and masked.
00:18:23.000 What an extraordinary collision.
00:18:24.000 What an extraordinary contradiction.
00:18:26.000 What a peculiar paradox.
00:18:28.000 This seems to be the time where institutions have failed.
00:18:30.000 And when institutions fail, the people have a duty to respond.
00:18:34.000 Fixing it is one way of calming fractured communities.
00:18:39.000 This is a British media outlet.
00:18:40.000 Keir Starmer fears repeat of summer riots after violent clashes outside Epping Asylum Hotel.
00:18:45.000 And here are the BBC reporting on the potential for a summer of rioting.
00:18:49.000 But interestingly, I was talking to one parliamentary veteran.
00:18:52.000 They are really, really worried.
00:18:54.000 They said to me, we are going to have a summer of riots.
00:18:57.000 You can just feel it, they said.
00:18:59.000 It is a tinderbox.
00:19:00.000 That was the word used by Neil Hudson, the Conservative MP for Epping Forest on this programme.
00:19:05.000 She loves the idea of a summer of riots.
00:19:07.000 A summer of riots, eh?
00:19:09.000 I don't know, she might be a nice person. 0.81
00:19:10.000 But in some of my recent interactions with police, these subjects came up as well.
00:19:14.000 The UK is divided, is in despair, is in serious trouble.
00:19:18.000 A summer of riots is highly likely.
00:19:20.000 Of course, no one welcomes a situation in which the police could be hurt or wounded or members of the public could be hurt or wounded.
00:19:26.000 But everyone's being hurt and wounded in the UK right now because of Increased surveillance, draconian measures everywhere, controls, the end of free speech, a level of exploitation and advocacy for war, even civil war being talked about that is unacceptable in the United Kingdom.
00:19:42.000 Britain needs massive revision.
00:19:44.000 Maybe it needs a lot more than reform.
00:19:46.000 On Friday, and what this person said to me is that there's no doubt that no doubt the bad elements are driving the violence and the disturbance.
00:19:53.000 We're going to take a pause now.
00:19:54.000 If you're watching this on YouTube and you want to see the rest of this piece, click the link in the description and join us over on Rumble.
00:20:00.000 And if you ain't got Rumble Premium yet, get Rumble Premium now.
00:20:03.000 But they are feeding off concerns in the community.
00:20:06.000 And listen to what this veteran MP said to me.
00:20:09.000 They're talking about how they're seeing a change in their constituency.
00:20:12.000 Good, ordinary people feeling their town is changing around them.
00:20:15.000 Oh, yeah, they must all have entered into a total delusion collectively together rather than there being a coordinated effort by government and media to induce despair and mass control.
00:20:25.000 A pandemic that legitimised authoritarianism and profiteering and the collapse of small and business and agricultural industry in total despair and decline as a result of edicts derived from an EU that we no longer belong to.
00:20:38.000 What are we going to do to get our country back?
00:20:41.000 They go to church, they have a house and then they're caught on either side with what we call HMOs, houses in multiple occupancy and they say that there are migrants there and these people feel that they are losing control.
00:20:54.000 That is a mainstream politician.
00:20:56.000 You never heard that sort of language before, but that is reflecting, they would say, the concerns on the ground in their constituents.
00:21:04.000 I don't know if you believe in God, I believe in God and I've surrendered to Jesus and I pray for peace in the UK, but there can only be peace if there is justice.
00:21:11.000 There can only be peace if there is transparency.
00:21:14.000 There can only be transparency and peace if there is authenticity and integrity.
00:21:18.000 And you don't have any of those things in that country right now. 0.96
00:21:20.000 I'm aware I live in another country and you're not fools.
00:21:23.000 You know what's going on with me at the moment.
00:21:25.000 You know what I'm going through.
00:21:26.000 And if you've got any sense, you understand why that's happening.
00:21:28.000 And you will understand there is an integral and deliberate and deep connection between what's being talked about here and what I've been talking about and dealing with for some time now.
00:21:35.000 And if you can't see that connection yet, you will see that connection soon, I assure you of that.
00:21:40.000 My prayer is a prayer for peace, that we will pray for our leaders.
00:21:44.000 We'll pray that they see sense.
00:21:46.000 We'll pray for integrity in government and authenticity.
00:21:48.000 But if that's not what we get in the UK, then I believe that it's the duty and obligation of the British people to stand up for what they believe in.
00:21:57.000 And we must not allow our focus to fall on the most vulnerable members of society, whether those are abused victims of sexual offences and rape, or whether they're people seeking asylum.
00:22:08.000 Even if they've committed sexual offences and rape, they warrant and deserve a form of justice.
00:22:13.000 Justice can be pretty brutal.
00:22:14.000 I would say this, this is a time of radical transformation across the world and in the UK in particular.
00:22:20.000 If there is not real institutional change within government and within media, I think that a summer of riots is inevitable.
00:22:26.000 This is some reporting from the Telegraph newspaper.
00:22:28.000 Tony Blair considered a secret plan to make immigration more popular when he was Prime Minister just weeks before opening Britain's borders to thousands of Eastern Europeans newly released files reveal.
00:22:39.000 So Tony Blair, that arch globalist, has his hand in this also.
00:22:39.000 Hmm.
00:22:44.000 Labour ministers came up with a marketing strategy to overcome what they described as disproportionate concerns about the issue to communicate the big picture to the public instead.
00:22:51.000 The plan which aimed to steer public opinion towards a more sensible conversation on immigration included details of Home Office commissioned research which found that many Britons believed borders were open and overrun.
00:23:01.000 In a handwritten note, Blair described research he'd been reading on immigration as pretty grim but utterly believable.
00:23:07.000 The Prime Minister was sent a 15-page strategy document by Lord Blunkett in 04, who was Home Secretary then, who shared it in strict confidence and warned, you will see this research, and that the references to it in the paper could be explosive in the wrong hands.
00:23:19.000 The paper told, having a sensible conversation about migration, claimed that the government had made real progress in reducing the impact of stories about asylum seekers so they were no longer automatic front-page tabloid material every time.
00:23:29.000 However, it then detailed the public research that confirms that immigration is an issue of real concern and noted there were no obvious signs of a breakthrough.
00:23:36.000 However, the paper came weeks before Blair opened Britain's borders to thousands of Eastern European migrants, Czech Republic, Estonia, and a long list.
00:23:45.000 The decision by the government to allow a media unrestricted access to migrants from those countries was widely seen as having contributed to a major increase in immigration in the years that followed with net EU migration surging to more than 200,000 a year.
00:24:00.000 Let's have a look at Blair on the subject of immigration way back in 04.
00:24:04.000 They accept and welcome migrants who play by the rules, but they will not accept abuse or absurdity.
00:24:09.000 And indeed, why should they?
00:24:10.000 So I think now is the time to make the argument for controlled migration simultaneous with tackling the abuses we can identify.
00:24:19.000 And then longer term put in place a system that gives us the best guarantee of future integrity in our migration policy.
00:24:26.000 That is why we have begun a top-to-bottom analysis of the immigration system, how it operates, how it can be improved, how it can agree migration where it is in our country's interests and prevent it where it isn't.
00:24:37.000 One thing I should say to you is already clear.
00:24:39.000 The overwhelming majority migrate in and indeed often out of Britain fairly and in accordance with the rules.
00:24:47.000 But there are areas of abuse and we can and should deal with them.
00:24:51.000 So we are putting in place a strategy globally, nationally and locally to ensure that migration works for Britain today and in the future.
00:24:57.000 We will neither be fortress Britain nor will we be an open house.
00:25:01.000 Tony Blair was one of the great political players of the end of the last century and the beginning of this one.
00:25:06.000 I consider him to be the arch globalist.
00:25:08.000 He is one of the pioneers of the new world order that is being rapidly brought about even now.
00:25:13.000 If there's anyone in the world that understands the power of digital ID, the power of globalism, the WF, the WHO, using bureaucracy to strangle freedom, all the while pretending that the hands around your throat are there to keep your neck warm, it's Tony Blair.
00:25:26.000 Summing up the views of the public, the strategy document said, people feel they do not have permission to freely express their fears.
00:25:31.000 It added, in a world of rapid change and uncertainty, people are fearful and look for explanations and scapegoats while claiming a disproportionate amount of fear and uncertainty was channeled towards migration.
00:25:40.000 The challenge is finding new ways to package and communicate these issues.
00:25:43.000 Do you know what I'd like?
00:25:44.000 I'd like to be able to, if I see a person that's Muslim or a migrant or whatever, that we can make eye contact and it's all cool.
00:25:50.000 That's what I would like.
00:25:51.000 And I think a way to do that is by having open conversations around migration.
00:25:54.000 They've suppressed that conversation for a long, long while in the United Kingdom.
00:25:57.000 They won't have clear conversations and they clearly have an agenda.
00:26:00.000 Look at the way that Tony Blair is even speaking there while being transparent way back in 04.
00:26:04.000 And I say transparent almost in inverted commerce.
00:26:06.000 How do we make people accept what we want them to do?
00:26:08.000 Seems to be the message.
00:26:09.000 Well, this is what you do in a democracy.
00:26:11.000 You don't make people accept what you want.
00:26:13.000 You listen to what they want and then you do it.
00:26:15.000 And if that can't be done at scale in great nations of 60 million, 70 million, 300 million people, what you do is you break down government at the level of the council, the borough, the community, the town, the family, and the individual.
00:26:26.000 And that is one thing that they simply can't yield to because they have an agenda, an uninterruptible agenda, to centralise power.
00:26:32.000 We know that the issue of migration is being used to divide people, disrupt people, disrupt towns.
00:26:36.000 Is it the main player and the biggest problem people face?
00:26:39.000 Maybe not, compared to the power of big food, big pharma, the military-industrial complex.
00:26:43.000 But it is a component of globalism that simply has to be addressed.
00:26:47.000 The paper detailed a table showing plans to advertise the advantages of migration and a PR campaign to demonstrate that migrants made a positive contribution to society.
00:26:55.000 In an annex on the findings of polling and focus group research, the paper revealed that participants were overwhelmingly of the view that the UK does not have an effective immigration policy.
00:27:04.000 Immigration has been an issue that's divided the UK for a long, long time.
00:27:09.000 Me personally, I believe in compassion and love and open-heartedness.
00:27:13.000 But if you're going to have a nation, you're going to have borders.
00:27:15.000 If you're going to have a democracy, you're going to have to listen to everyone's views.
00:27:17.000 And if you're going to have a summer of riots, you have to recognise that your government is way out of touch with the people that it's supposed to govern.
00:27:25.000 And this is hardly surprising after the pandemic, after the riots around the death of the Southport free little girls, after endless deception and lies, after these peculiar injunctions that Kiostama appears to have in place, after people get shut down and arrested for free speech issues, after mass surveillance gets introduced, facial recognition technology, advocacy for central currencies, vaccinations, poor inquiries, rape gang inquiry much too late and only as a result of the bravery of Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk.
00:27:52.000 How in that environment are we going to bring about harmony, peace, love, the values upon which the United Kingdom was founded and built?
00:27:59.000 Certainly not while pursuing the legacy of Tony Blair under the institution of Keir Starmer.
00:28:05.000 These people are globalists.
00:28:06.000 They are not affiliated with any nation, if you ask me.
00:28:09.000 You could have Tony Blair run Canada.
00:28:11.000 You could have Keir Starmer run Australia.
00:28:14.000 We've all seen this type of politician and they're getting worse aren't they?
00:28:17.000 At least for a minute they were kind of attractive, just in Trudeau, nice socks on, bit of black face, lovely haircut.
00:28:22.000 They're not even trying anymore.
00:28:24.000 They've become more tedious.
00:28:25.000 And then they're surprised when in Romania and Hungary and Turkey and the United States of America and France, right-wing politicians appear to be on the rise.
00:28:33.000 Nationalism simply means patriotism.
00:28:35.000 Patriotism means tribalism.
00:28:37.000 Tribalism could mean family and an affinity with a land that you are from.
00:28:41.000 If you had countries that understood themselves, understood their identity, welcoming a reasonable number of legal migrants in seems like a sensible thing to do.
00:28:50.000 But in the despair of the UK, where people are being prepared for war with Russia in order, it seems, to finance civil war and further civil restrictions, you don't have a country with a strong enough identity or sense of itself to start implementing these kind of ridiculous restrictions.
00:29:05.000 But that's just what I think.
00:29:06.000 Why don't you let me know what you think in the comments and the chat?
00:29:11.000 Now then, you may be aware that in the UK, even the elderly are being arrested for holding up signs.
00:29:17.000 Audrey White, a woman who gave it straight to Keir Starmer, who's protesting in her case on behalf of Palestine, has been arrested.
00:29:24.000 But anyone can get arrested for anything in the UK.
00:29:27.000 Let me know if you think that could ever happen here in the United States.
00:29:30.000 Let me know if it's happening in Australia, Canada, because the world seems to be being asphyxiated by a fist of near-total control.
00:29:40.000 Let's have a look at Russell Brand unpacked on the story of mass arrests and the foreclosure of free speech and protests in the UK.
00:29:50.000 Hello there, you Awakening Winders.
00:29:52.000 Thanks for joining me for Unpacked with Russell Brand.
00:29:54.000 A 74-year-old woman, Audrey White, who had previously confronted Keir Starmer, has been arrested for protesting.
00:30:01.000 There's Keir Starmer at a Coldplay concert recently.
00:30:04.000 I believe these lads are Ukrainian models. 1.00
00:30:07.000 I don't know what the person who made that meme was thinking about.
00:30:10.000 Let me know if you find a way of getting around the injunction and let me know what you think about that in the comments and the chat.
00:30:16.000 The simple fact is that while Keir Starmer on some levels might be the most banal person ever to have lived, sometimes I think that, he's also ushering in an era of authoritarianism that is baffling and is now finding extraordinary expression in the arrests of people protesting for Palestine-Israel related matters.
00:30:35.000 Facial recognition technology is being deployed by the police and migration rights are expected across the UK all this summer.
00:30:41.000 But this story about a 74-year-old woman being arrested, a woman who had campaigned for women's rights in the workplace, had advocated for anti-harassment laws, who seems like a brilliant woman when you see her some time ago by sort of delicious irony confronting Kiostarma himself in a cafe, has now been arrested, I think, for holding up a sign.
00:30:58.000 In the UK, this could get you in a lot of trouble.
00:31:04.000 Simply this.
00:31:04.000 This.
00:31:05.000 Now, of course, it depends what it says on that sign.
00:31:07.000 But what we can see is what began as arresting people for things they've said online has evolved into arresting people for hold up sign.
00:31:16.000 Communication in any forum could become illegal.
00:31:20.000 That's what happens when you mess with free speech.
00:31:22.000 Let's get into this story of 74-year-old Audrey White, who seems like, by all reckoning, the exact kind of woman you want to build communities and nations around, has been jailed.
00:31:33.000 Dozens of people have been arrested around the UK at protests in support of prescribed group Palestine action.
00:31:40.000 The Metropolitan Police said 55 people were arrested under the Terrorism Act at the demonstration in Parliament Square and eight were arrested at another demo nearby.
00:31:50.000 Those detained are alleged to have been displaying placards in favour of the group, which was designated as a prescribed terrorist organisation earlier this month.
00:32:00.000 There were also arrests in Bristol, Truro and Manchester.
00:32:04.000 In Britain, pick a cause that people are getting arrested for.
00:32:06.000 People are protesting in Eppin, near where I'm from, because of migration-related issues.
00:32:11.000 People are getting arrested in London because of Palestine-related issues.
00:32:14.000 And people are getting arrested everywhere for free speech.
00:32:18.000 This story is from The Telegraph, a legacy media outlet in the UK.
00:32:21.000 A 74-year-old woman has said she was left shaken and frightened after being arrested at a pro-Palestine rally under terrorism laws in what she called an attempt to restrict freedom of speech.
00:32:30.000 Audrey White from Liverpool was among one of the hundreds of people detained across the UK at the weekend on suspicion of supporting the recently prescribed group Palestine action.
00:32:38.000 White had been holding out a sign before she was surrounded by officers in Liverpool city centre on Sunday.
00:32:43.000 Videos show four police officers detaining the veteran campaigner on the ground to chance of shame on you and let her go.
00:32:49.000 The officers then drag white across the pavement before handcuffing her as she lies prone on the ground. 0.95
00:32:56.000 If the laws of your nation afford you the ability to arrest a 74 year old woman for protesting, it's not the 74 year old woman that's in the wrong. 0.51
00:33:04.000 It's the nation that's in the wrong.
00:33:06.000 I'm struggling to think outside of Hansel and Gretel how an old lady could even warrant arrest at all. 1.00
00:33:13.000 I mean what does she have?
00:33:14.000 A gingerbread house?
00:33:15.000 What was she? 0.85
00:33:16.000 A medieval lady paedophile? 1.00
00:33:19.000 No, she's a campaigner. 1.00
00:33:20.000 She's an outspoken woman from Liverpool.
00:33:22.000 And what we need are more outspoken working class people coming to the forefront and taking back their nation by, well, the great Malcolm X would have said, by any means necessary, but hopefully by peaceful means.
00:33:36.000 Here is footage of Audrey White being arrested.
00:33:39.000 If you're disturbed by the prospect of watching an older lady being arrested, then that's normal if you're into it. 1.00
00:33:47.000 Check this out.
00:34:08.000 Now what I find irresistibly poetic about this is that Audrey White is one of those people, you know, when a politician is confronted by a normal member of the public and it goes viral and it's fantastic and you think, yes, this is what we've been crying out for.
00:34:21.000 We've been crying out for one of us to rise up and confront the powerful.
00:34:25.000 And sometimes it's just a brief moment where you get the release of seeing someone, you think, yes, these are the kind of people we should be backing.
00:34:32.000 These are the kind of people that need to speak up.
00:34:34.000 Well, here is a moment where a year or so ago, this very woman, Audrey White, confronted Keir Starmer in a CAF where he'd gone to to look all working class and connected to the people.
00:34:44.000 I'm not saying Keir Starmer's not from a working class background.
00:34:46.000 He evidently is.
00:34:48.000 But whatever values he learned there are long gone and long forgotten to be replaced by the globalist imperialist creed that I believe is a greater threat to world security, world peace and spiritual evolution than all of the horrors that we were told about under the liar liberal democrat regime that taught us all to fear Trump so deeply.
00:35:10.000 Let's have a look at Audrey White confronting Kierstarma and feel the sweet release but bear in mind the footage of her a matter of months later being flung to the floor by the police force in Britain.
00:35:21.000 What a coincidence.
00:35:22.000 I just say that I don't know how you've got the books to come to this city after you have been interviewed and doing columns for the Sun newspaper.
00:35:32.000 The Sun newspaper, part of News International, part of the Trusted News Initiative, are part of the mass media that make us hate ourselves and hate one another.
00:35:42.000 What she's referring to there, Audrey, is the time the Sun newspaper, after a bunch of Liverpool supporters died as a result of inefficiency from the police force in Sheffield, blamed the Liverpool fans themselves.
00:35:54.000 There are a number of other slurs.
00:35:55.000 Kirsteimer promised he would never talk to the Sun newspaper who disparaged and dishonoured those dead 97 people.
00:36:02.000 This city has been wounded by the media.
00:36:05.000 The sun in this city are hurt for this city.
00:36:09.000 And I certainly won't be giving any interviews to the sun during the course of this campaign.
00:36:14.000 And then took a column in the sun newspaper.
00:36:16.000 Because he'll do whatever's necessary to cozy up to the powerful and to ensure control.
00:36:16.000 Why?
00:36:21.000 They'll always tell you it's for your benefit.
00:36:23.000 It never is.
00:36:24.000 After the way we as the city were abused and after the way we as a city, the Hillsborough victims were abused by our papers and you've come here.
00:36:34.000 Secondly, you lied to us about uniting the party.
00:36:38.000 I'm still a Labour Party member.
00:36:40.000 Oh no, this trip to the working class cafe is not gone as well as it could get me Pellegrino, dare me! 0.99
00:36:47.000 I need some more Pellegrino!
00:36:50.000 And you've expelled and witch-hunted in the most vicious way I've ever seen in my lifetime.
00:36:56.000 And I've been a member of the Labour Party for a long, long time.
00:37:00.000 You have absolutely said you had 10 pledges, you were going to carry on the Colby legacy.
00:37:06.000 And ever since you've done nothing but distance yourself from the ideas which tens of thousands of people joined the Labour Party to support.
00:37:16.000 Note how Keir Stum and the security check in with one another to see if they can usher the woman away without it looking bad.
00:37:22.000 Notice that then, a matter of 18 months ago, people fought twice before arresting an old lady and flinging her on the floor.
00:37:29.000 Ah, progress.
00:37:30.000 And our health service is going right down the plant.
00:37:33.000 And you have a big responsibility, the working class people of this country.
00:37:38.000 Excuse me.
00:37:39.000 We can't make this content without the continuing support of our partners.
00:37:42.000 Here's a message from one now.
00:37:43.000 What if your coffee didn't just wake you up, but actually awakened you to new realms of consciousness?
00:37:50.000 That's what's being promised by 1775 Peaberry.
00:37:55.000 Why are you drinking stinking, jaded, lukewarm, dirty, filthy grey coffee beans when you could be having vibrant, revolutionary coffee like this one?
00:38:03.000 It's an elixir of pure innocence. 0.76
00:38:05.000 It's a glorious and awakening drink.
00:38:07.000 Peaberries are the outliers, the lone wolves, the beans that grow solo on the branch.
00:38:12.000 No twins, no compromise, no hangers-on, no hemorrhoids.
00:38:16.000 Just one dense, round, flavour-packed powerhouse that tastes like it's been preparing for this cup its entire life.
00:38:23.000 Let me take a sip of it now.
00:38:27.000 Oh, holy beverage, we salute you.
00:38:29.000 Less than 5% of all beans can become pea berries.
00:38:32.000 They're the navy seals of coffee beans.
00:38:34.000 Some of them just can't take hell week.
00:38:36.000 Which basically means your morning brew is rarer than a mainstream journalist telling the truth.
00:38:41.000 Jake Tapper, you must have seen that Joe Biden was old.
00:38:44.000 He was obviously old.
00:38:46.000 I think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline.
00:38:50.000 It's grown high in the Bolivian mountains where the air is thin, the vibes are thick, and the beans basically whisper ancient truths to the winds.
00:38:59.000 No acidic afterburn, no synthetic weirdness, and none of the lingering shame that tastes like the hotel mini bar after a three-day bender with all the snow.
00:39:06.000 Hey, I played that guy in a couple of movies.
00:39:09.000 I've lived that film.
00:39:10.000 I was that film.
00:39:11.000 But this coffee doesn't leave you hung over in a feather boa or speaking fluent nonsense.
00:39:18.000 Just bold, smooth, consciousness activating coffee with clean energy and antioxidants so potent I drank it and remembered three of my past lives.
00:39:25.000 Go to 1775coffee.com, use the code brand and get 15% off.
00:39:29.000 Peabody wonder, hallucinations, glory, psychedelic wonder, all available here. 0.95
00:39:34.000 Use the link, get the discounts, get the free shipping, benefit from an awakening beam, you lunatic you. 0.89
00:39:41.000 Excuse me, but you're just don't be getting physical. 0.96
00:39:43.000 I'm not touching you.
00:39:44.000 Can you move back then, please?
00:39:46.000 Can you move back, please?
00:39:48.000 No, can you move back?
00:39:51.000 See how he said I'm not touching you?
00:39:52.000 But he actually is physically touching her.
00:39:54.000 That is Britain.
00:39:55.000 That is the UK.
00:39:56.000 That's what authoritarianism looks like.
00:39:58.000 Of course, they will nominate high-profile people to vilify.
00:40:02.000 It's easy to hate on Andrew Tate, all strong and robust, and mixed race, and saying clumsy stuff. 0.66
00:40:08.000 It's easy to hate on Tommy Robinson with his working class virility. 1.00
00:40:14.000 It's easy to hate.
00:40:15.000 But when you see them hating on a 74-year-old lifelong campaigner and advocate for women's rights, makes you wonder if they'll take down anybody who's got a voice.
00:40:26.000 Anybody who dares to oppose them.
00:40:28.000 Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
00:40:29.000 Here's the Guardian newspaper, a liberal legacy media outlet.
00:40:33.000 Let's see what they say.
00:40:34.000 I'm very sore, very shaken, very emotional, and very frightened.
00:40:37.000 White, that's that lady, told the Guardian. 1.00
00:40:39.000 It's been a criminal offense to be a member of or show support for Palestine action since 5th of July after protest group was prescribed under the Terrorism Act despite opposition from UN experts and civil liberties groups.
00:40:49.000 She said it was the first time she'd been arrested in more than half a century of campaigning against conflicts.
00:40:54.000 It's designed to stop human rights and stop protest and stop free speech, she said.
00:40:58.000 There's two things to be afraid of in this country and one is that we lose everything we're proud of, the ability to speak out, and the other is we would ever be involved in a genocide.
00:41:05.000 Whether you agree with Audrey White or not on the subject of Palestine, surely you have to agree with the principles she's espousing.
00:41:13.000 And until we're willing to advocate for the right for our enemies to oppose us, as many people oppose me personally, actually, then we don't have principles.
00:41:22.000 We have expedience and utility.
00:41:24.000 Let me know what you think about that in the comments and chat.
00:41:26.000 White, who is secretary of the Merseyside Pensioners Association and cares for her husband who has cancer, said a police officer had told her she was allowed to attend medical appointments, but she could be arrested if she visited a shop afterwards.
00:41:36.000 She's on house arrest now. 1.00
00:41:37.000 But remember, it's not so long ago that we were all under house arrest.
00:41:41.000 Remember that?
00:41:41.000 That was also for your well-being and health.
00:41:43.000 White said she was in pain and feels terrible after having been dragged into a police van.
00:41:47.000 I'm just sore all over, I'm swollen, she said.
00:41:49.000 The former shop worker is banned as part of her bail from attending another pro-Palestine march.
00:41:53.000 The Labour Party's National Executive Committee expelled her after she confronted Keir Starmer, as you saw.
00:41:59.000 So there you go.
00:42:00.000 I myself am standing trial in the UK.
00:42:03.000 I am very grateful to have the opportunity to speak truthfully and to embrace justice.
00:42:10.000 And I am also grateful for the opportunity to talk about how the police are being directed in the UK, the rise of authoritarianism in the UK, the mass discontent in the UK and the breakdown of civil society and the contract between the governed and the governing in the UK.
00:42:24.000 This is a time where the UK needs peaceful revolution urgently.
00:42:28.000 But this is just what I think.
00:42:29.000 Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
00:42:33.000 How can you ensure that you win an election in the United Kingdom?
00:42:37.000 By allowing people that don't know very much to vote?
00:42:40.000 Let's have a look at the manipulation of the electorate in the UK.
00:42:44.000 Joe Biden let dead people Joe Biden needed dead people to vote for him.
00:42:47.000 Makes sense.
00:42:48.000 It's going to be, you're going to appeal to people that identify with you.
00:42:51.000 And let's face it, Joe Biden was very nearly dead.
00:42:53.000 In the UK, people aged 16 and 17 are being invited to vote.
00:42:58.000 Let's have a look in Russell Brand Unpacked.
00:43:03.000 In the UK, you can drink at 18, have sex at 16, smoke at 16, and now maybe vote at 16.
00:43:10.000 Now, is this an improvement in democracy?
00:43:13.000 Or is this an attempt at gerrymandering by Keir Starmer and the Labour Party, which is our version of a neoliberal, Democrat-style, left-leaning, centralised, authoritarian, globalist, imperialist party where the rhetoric is all about caring and the rights of women and girls and how do we protect the minorities?
00:43:31.000 But the governing is all about surveillance, getting rid of trial by jury, arresting people for protest, throwing 74-year-old women in jail.
00:43:41.000 So what is it, Kierstama?
00:43:43.000 Is it justice, freedom and democracy?
00:43:46.000 Or is it maximal control?
00:43:48.000 Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
00:43:50.000 Here's a news report from the legacy media, obviously and admittedly, on the proposed change in the UK to allow 16-year-olds to vote.
00:43:57.000 A boost for democracy or a ploy to capitalise on the youth vote?
00:44:02.000 Well, surely a boost for democracy.
00:44:05.000 The very fact that we have to use Al Jazeera footage, which is obviously a Middle Eastern, I'm assuming, media company in order to get objective reporting on British news is telling.
00:44:17.000 Now, perhaps it's possible that 16-year-olds are well-informed enough to vote.
00:44:21.000 Who cares, really?
00:44:22.000 It doesn't matter who's voting and for what they're voting.
00:44:24.000 Ultimately, the same interests and institutions will remain in power.
00:44:28.000 But what is significant, I believe, is that Kierstama is aware that in a short period of time, he's completely lost the good faith and will of even the people that were willing to vote for him.
00:44:36.000 And he needs to create swathes of new voters.
00:44:38.000 How can a person have collapsed a mandate so quickly and so notably, even though it was only 30% of the electorate that voted for Kierstama in the first place?
00:44:45.000 And even though it was in a post-pandemic era where most people were so beleaguered and incensed by the incumbent right-wing party that held celebrations, maskless and without social distancing, throughout the entire duration of the COVID period.
00:45:00.000 And the election was essentially a referendum on how well the pandemic had been handled.
00:45:04.000 What's required now, because of the various riots, the murders, the migration crisis, the rumours, the injunctions, is to allow 16-year-olds to vote.
00:45:16.000 Indeed, the electorate has to be fundamentally altered in order for Keir Starmer to desperately cling to the power that he's using to further enrich the state.
00:45:25.000 In your country, people talk frequently about allowing migrants to vote, Allowing dead people to vote. 1.00
00:45:31.000 Well, we're not quite as corrupt as Biden's Democrat Party, but we will let children vote.
00:45:36.000 The Labour government announced it would deliver on a manifesto pledge to give the vote to 16 and 17-year-olds, and for some, it was a welcome move.
00:45:46.000 I'm really happy about it because I've always been kind of frustrated just watching politics and not being able to do anything.
00:45:53.000 You can't do anything, you absolutely can't do anything because the institutions of power and the media that report on the institutions of power are geared absolutely towards the castration of the population, and the media ensure near total bewilderment or distraction at best.
00:46:11.000 How is it we have found ourselves in this environment?
00:46:14.000 How do we find our way out of it?
00:46:15.000 Certainly it's not by allowing 16-year-olds or 17-year-olds or five-year-olds to vote.
00:46:19.000 It is by ensuring that the people of the United Kingdom or the United States of America have maximum access to truth, maximum access to the levers of power.
00:46:28.000 For example, if the people of the UK decide that they want less migration, have a referendum on the subject of migration, set before them some options on the amount of migration that they would consider acceptable.
00:46:37.000 And if people say, hey, we want net zero or we want to reduce, then that's democracy.
00:46:41.000 Now, if you don't want that, then you'll have to admit that what you believe in is forms of autocracy that support your perspective.
00:46:47.000 When we recently saw Mehdi Hussein talking to that dear, sweet young man who was somewhat misinformed on democracy, albeit an ardent Trump supporter, we all found it risable and laughable that someone would advocate for autocracy as long as that autocracy was governing in their favor.
00:47:02.000 The truth of the matter is, is that's not a tendency that's unique to the right.
00:47:06.000 Indeed, the neoliberal left have simply become more adept at masking that tendency and hiding it behind care and concern.
00:47:13.000 We care about minorities.
00:47:15.000 We care about the vulnerable.
00:47:17.000 We care about you.
00:47:18.000 Now give us absolute power.
00:47:18.000 We care about your health.
00:47:20.000 16 to 18 is quite like a maturity jump, but like, I think a lot of people, even from a very young age, have very strong opinions.
00:47:29.000 The strength of the opinion is not the metric, it's the integrity of the understanding.
00:47:34.000 I indeed will be up for letting two-year-olds vote, three-year-olds vote.
00:47:37.000 Let cats, dogs, felon and mouses vote. 0.97
00:47:40.000 Let everybody vote.
00:47:41.000 But why don't we have a system where your vote actually means something?
00:47:44.000 How about letting 16-year-olds vote?
00:47:46.000 But decentralize power maximally.
00:47:48.000 Decouple power from donations, from lobbying, from manipulation, from corruption, and from deep state power.
00:47:54.000 In fact, this story, like so many others, is to some degree a distraction from the issues that really matter.
00:47:59.000 In the United Kingdom, we went from a Conservative Party, right-wing Republican, to a Labour Party, left-wing Democrat.
00:48:05.000 And what changed really?
00:48:07.000 Well, things got worse.
00:48:09.000 They got more authoritarian.
00:48:10.000 Poverty increased in general.
00:48:12.000 Dissatisfaction increased in general.
00:48:14.000 The usual tendencies continued.
00:48:15.000 We can't do anything about that because of the previous government.
00:48:18.000 That's the previous government's fault.
00:48:20.000 And the political phenomena that I've seen everywhere I've gone in the world and whenever I've spoken to politicians, things aren't as bad as what you think they are. 0.99
00:48:27.000 Actually, in the old days, people used to live in a bucket of shit on a penny a day. 0.98
00:48:31.000 Things are fantastic now. 0.97
00:48:32.000 Haven't you got a PlayStation?
00:48:34.000 They think their opinion should be heard.
00:48:37.000 Others seem unconvinced.
00:48:39.000 We see a lot of people who sort of fall down like those pipelines into alt-right or whatever and are very easily convinced and persuaded and I do think that's a risk.
00:48:50.000 For the Prime Minister, it is a logical step designed to boost voter turnout.
00:48:56.000 They're old enough to go out to work.
00:48:59.000 They're old enough to pay taxes.
00:49:01.000 So to pay in.
00:49:02.000 I wondered if he was going to say old enough to have sex because of course it's the age for consent in the United Kingdom as well.
00:49:08.000 And Kirstama, for reasons of his own, I'm sure, didn't list that.
00:49:13.000 And I think if you pay in, you should have the opportunity to say what you want your money spent on, which way the government should go.
00:49:22.000 If you're old enough to pay in, you're old enough to pay out.
00:49:25.000 If there's grass on the lawn, I'll say play cricket.
00:49:29.000 The traditional thinking in the UK is that younger people would be more likely to vote for Labour.
00:49:35.000 But since the election last year, public support for the party has been ebbing away, and younger people are now finding themselves more attracted to other parties such as the Greens and Nigel Farage's Reform UK.
00:49:50.000 Despite Labour's large majority, after a year in power, it's now plummeted in popularity.
00:49:56.000 Hot on the heels of this discontent, the rise of populist politics, with Reform UK leading in the opinion polls.
00:50:04.000 All of these ardent advocates for democracy oppose democracy when it's not in their favour.
00:50:09.000 All of these ardent advocates for free speech oppose free speech when it's not in their favour.
00:50:13.000 What they advocate for is centralising authority that they can use to legitimise the sustenance of the system and the enhancement of their own power base.
00:50:21.000 If it's a somewhat quotidian ordinary story that you can receive in ordinary media like this one, oh no, look, they're decreasing the voting age, or more nefarious, malfeasant, ugly stories that ultimately reveal, as I suppose the Epstein file story does, that real power is beyond the hues of party livery and is contained in elite institutions absolutely inaccessible to you.
00:50:42.000 Indeed, these power structures created the systems within which you live and they ensure that these systems have loopholes and get outs and features.
00:50:51.000 They ensure that no matter what you do and who you vote for, they will benefit.
00:50:55.000 The most notable feature, the one that I would like you to pay most attention to, and certainly the one that I watch for, is crisis for you is opportunity for them.
00:51:04.000 That when there is a pandemic that decimates businesses across the UK, there is an enormous wealth transfer.
00:51:09.000 Pay attention to where that wealth transfer goes and who benefits from it, and you will learn a great deal.
00:51:14.000 You'll notice that the most powerful institutions and interests in the world do not think in terms of nation.
00:51:19.000 As far as I can tell, they might not even think in terms of race or creed or religion.
00:51:23.000 And yet, sometimes I get an inkling that it goes beyond even financial and corporate interest to something sort of far darker, but as the great Whitney Webb always says, that's more difficult to corroborate.
00:51:32.000 What you can certainly corroborate is that between the unelected organizations, whether that's UNEU, NATO, WHO, WEF, all those kind of names that you've become familiar with, and NGOs often funded by rich, powerful people whose names might feature on another list, like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Clinton Foundation, there's extraordinary power held there.
00:51:52.000 And then deep within the establishment itself is a permanent class of political influencers that are able to sustain their grip on the levers of power regardless of who you vote for.
00:52:00.000 That is what is important.
00:52:02.000 That is what has to be addressed.
00:52:03.000 That is what could be addressed now that the world has changed as a result of technology.
00:52:07.000 And while Andrew Breitbart may say that politics is downstream from culture, culture is downstream from technology.
00:52:14.000 Who controls technology controls everything.
00:52:17.000 And now we have some control to technology, which is why categories like misinformation, disinformation, malinformation have been created.
00:52:24.000 That is why people are talking about hate speech and various ways that free speech can be shut down.
00:52:28.000 That's why in crises, the first thing people want to be able to do is track you, manipulate you and influence you.
00:52:33.000 That's why they want control of your finances.
00:52:35.000 That's why they'll find ways of introducing centralized currencies that they can shut down and control.
00:52:39.000 These are the kind of ideas that we need to mutually investigate together to ensure that this centralized authoritarian tyranny does not get a stranglehold on the political corpus.
00:52:49.000 Its appeal to younger men poses a real threat to labour, especially in working class areas. 0.74
00:52:56.000 Working class people, especially men, seem to like Tommy Robertson and Andrew Tate and other non-sanctioned influences.
00:53:05.000 Why are they not bowing down before Keostama and embracing him?
00:53:10.000 Why are they not aspiring, these young working-class men, to be more like the toolmaker's son himself, Keir Stama?
00:53:16.000 Yeah, they're absolutely, utterly disillusioned.
00:53:18.000 And it doesn't matter the novel ways that you find to vilify ordinary young working class men.
00:53:24.000 The simple truth is they're right to be disillusioned.
00:53:27.000 They're right to be outraged and disgusted.
00:53:29.000 They're right to be apathetic, despondent, lost, because that is the atmosphere of the United Kingdom.
00:53:34.000 That is what's been created by those that govern.
00:53:36.000 Is it deliberate?
00:53:37.000 It's difficult to tell.
00:53:38.000 But certainly the apathy, despondency, despair, or even outrage of the British population is warranted.
00:53:45.000 That's what I think.
00:53:46.000 Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
00:53:48.000 But that's not the only risk.
00:53:50.000 That should be regarded as a risk, by the way, the rise of the alt-right or far-right or whatever you call it.
00:53:54.000 If in a democracy people vote for right-wing candidates, you get yourself a right-wing government quick-smart or you admit that you're not into democracy.
00:54:02.000 Or, for example, if you get a government and say, hey, we care much more about Israel's actions in Gaza and we want to ensure that we no longer give military aid or we give a whole bunch of financial aid, then if a democracy votes for that, guess what you do?
00:54:14.000 You do that, or you stop calling it a democracy.
00:54:17.000 Among younger people, the government's approach to the war on Gaza has also cost its support, with the UK Green Party looking set to benefit as a left-wing alternative.
00:54:29.000 But the challenge remains getting younger people to vote.
00:54:33.000 Turnout among younger voters has always been comparatively low.
00:54:37.000 For mainstream parties with declining support, they will have to work harder and smarter to earn their vote.
00:54:45.000 Well, working smart and hard are hardly the defining attributes of the political class.
00:54:50.000 If they had to work more manipulatively and in a more occultist manner with more pedophilia, I'd feel more confident.
00:54:57.000 Those are just jokes.
00:54:58.000 Okay, let's get into this.
00:55:00.000 This is a piece of report from The Telegraph, a British newspaper.
00:55:02.000 If in doubt, Gerrymander, that's the logic underlying Labour's announcement today that the voting age will be lowered to 16 at the next election.
00:55:08.000 Having reached within a year depths of unpopularity and incompetence that it took the Conservatives 14 years to plumb, Keir Starmer has now accepted that his only hope of getting re-elected relies on trying to rig the electorate in his favour.
00:55:18.000 That's why Smash the Glass marked votes at 16. 0.84
00:55:21.000 There is something uniquely moronic about calls to lower the voting age.
00:55:24.000 It is a policy that only interests desperate Labour strategists and A-level politics teachers. 0.86
00:55:28.000 The arguments for and against it are well rehearsed.
00:55:30.000 Proponents will argue that it's expanding.
00:55:32.000 Democracy opponents will point out that the long list of responsibilities politicians deem 16-year-olds too irresponsible to be trusted with from driving cars to getting a tattoo.
00:55:40.000 Many 16-year-olds don't want the vote.
00:55:42.000 With a Merlin strategy poll suggesting that only around half of 16 to 17-year-olds back their enfranchisement in the elections for the so-called Scottish and Welsh parliaments, the turnout of the young consistently trails that of older voters, not to mention that for the young, just as for the government, there are much more pressing issues.
00:55:57.000 Yeah, like potential conscription, facial recognition technology, the advance towards mandating medicines of digital ID, deception, media deception, total control, authoritarianism, despair, despondency, a total lack of moral courage, migration issues, joblessness, despair and globalism.
00:56:16.000 And, you know, that was off the top of my head.
00:56:18.000 Labour has long promised to reduce the voting age to 16 across the UK, bringing Westminster in line with Scotland and Wales.
00:56:23.000 But the time of the announcement is a surprise.
00:56:25.000 If the government rushes through the changes, they could become law in 2027, allowing 16-year-olds to vote in the 2028 council elections, as well as the general election in 2029.
00:56:34.000 Completing the change quickly also offers them the possibility of being able to vote if Keir Starmer called an early general election.
00:56:40.000 Downing Street denied the move with an attempt to keep Labour in power.
00:56:43.000 Of course it's a move to keep them in power.
00:56:44.000 There is no other principle at work.
00:56:47.000 Whether it's super injunctions to keep stories out of the papers, increasing surveillance. 0.66
00:56:52.000 If you for a second entertain the idea when watching Audrey White dragged off by the police simply for protesting a cause that she believes in, that that is to help the British people, you are insane in the old membrane.
00:57:05.000 You know that power's first function is to sustain and maintain itself.
00:57:09.000 It can only do that really by maintaining you and I in a state of malnourished despair.
00:57:14.000 And in the UK, that's the one thing they're doing rather well.
00:57:17.000 The government was elected on a specific manifesto commitment to give 16 and 17 year olds the right to vote in all elections and that's what we're doing.
00:57:23.000 But might this decision backfire on Starma?
00:57:25.000 There's a strong chance it could.
00:57:26.000 The same poll mentioned earlier also found that while a third of teenagers would vote Labour, 20% would choose reform.
00:57:32.000 The Prime Minister and his team have publicly identified reform as the biggest threat to their re-election with number 10 age strategising about how to counter Farage, whose party won control of 10 councils at the local election.
00:57:42.000 The next election is four years away.
00:57:43.000 The government will only become even more unpopular.
00:57:45.000 Nigel Farage's TikTok mastery will only grow.
00:57:48.000 The last time a Labour government lowered the voting age in 69, it found itself swept aside at the next general election.
00:57:53.000 On current polling, it would be no surprise if history repeated itself.
00:57:55.000 In the meantime, one hopes Starmer's newfound ardour for youthful responsibility will encourage his government to relax a few other joyless restrictions on a generation already hampered by COVID adult education, screen addiction, and an inescapable anxiety that their lives will be far worse than their parents.
00:58:09.000 But never mind the comparison to their parents, what about the objective reality of life in Britain right now, where conscription, civil war, strife, rioting, despair, malnutrition, ugliness, division, cultural clash, collision and collapse are what defines a nation that was once robust and creative and the only thing people have to look forward to is another oasis reunion in 20 years.
00:58:35.000 The only thing Britain has is a past.
00:58:37.000 If it's ever to have a future again, it's going to have to make concrete, realistic changes to its democracy.
00:58:43.000 It's going to have to empower people meaningfully, not just the young, but the old.
00:58:47.000 And to do that, you're going to need men and women of integrity.
00:58:50.000 And those men and women of integrity are more likely to be found in jail for free speech, like, for example, Audrey White, than they are in parliament.
00:58:59.000 You know that, and I know that.
00:59:01.000 So it ain't just what I think, it's what we all know.
00:59:03.000 Let me know what you think, though, in the comments and chat.
00:59:06.000 But more important than that, if you can, please stay free.
