00:00:24.000In fact, we're beginning to thrive as we reach this critical moment in human history where technology and idiocy combine to create, well, idiocracy would be the film.0.97
00:00:34.000And we finally, do we awaken at the last possible moment?
00:00:38.000If you're watching me anywhere other than on Rumble, Get over to Rumble where I can speak freely.
00:02:21.000I saw her there in the sun hat, openly weeping.
00:02:25.000The problem is, and I really hope we can get through this whole item without doing it ourselves, is that every news story these days gets utilized to amplify or diminish a particular political or social message, doesn't it?
00:02:40.000In this instance, supporters of Carmelo Anthony will say that he's.
00:02:49.000Racial identity should in some way mitigate his actions, and other people will use his racial identity to further condemn him.
00:02:59.000None of us can claim to have access to the mind of God, although actually, we could have access to the mind of God if we were willing to surrender self and to get out of our obsession with what we're afraid of and what we want.
00:03:10.000But that's a complicated, somewhat simple in some ways, but complicated idea until you're invited into it.
00:03:16.000If you get Rumble Premium, I'll explain that to you in more detail and more depth.
00:03:21.000The access to the living water is Present now, you can do it.
00:03:24.000It's not just these rose tinted glasses that are giving me that perspective.
00:03:27.000It's not just this fantastic book, How to Become Christian in Seven Days, available now if you want it from Amazon and free as an audiobook.
00:03:35.000Click the link in the description and you can listen to it as you read it.
00:04:04.000As a Texas jury finds 19 year old Carmelo Anthony guilty of murder for stabbing 17 year old Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet last year.
00:04:17.000Numerous witnesses said Anthony instigated the confrontation.
00:04:21.000The prosecution calling his actions unjustified and intentional, telling the jury, You don't get to meet a shove with a stab, especially if you provoke the shove.
00:04:31.000In closing arguments Tuesday, the defense again tried to portray Metcalf.
00:04:35.000Kath as the aggressor, that he made physical contact first, and Anthony defended himself in a split second of chaos.
00:04:55.000Supporters of Anthony have raised concerns for a fair trial after no black people were seated on the jury.
00:05:01.000Inside the courtroom, tears from both families.
00:05:05.000Terrible shame that the distinctions can be drawn along lines of color, isn't it?
00:05:09.000After all of these years, it's such a terrible shame that the absence of black people on the jury would immediately indicate that there can't be justice.0.69
00:05:19.000It's such a deep concern that there aren't other forms of measurement, spiritual categories, or justice and truth themselves, that all of them things are absented in favor of an identity connected to the color of your skin.
00:05:34.000It's a shame that the African American population feel such total dismay.
00:05:42.000And dismay and distrust in the system that they think that the absence of black people means that they're not going to get a fair trial.0.97
00:05:48.000The thing is, I completely agree with them when they say that the institutions of justice have likely been corrupted.
00:05:54.000I completely agree with them when they say it's difficult to get a fair trial.
00:05:59.000I suppose where I see things differently, not just because I'm literally wearing rose colored glasses, is that we're continuing to benefit that system when we divide along racial, religious, or ideological lines as we continue to express.
00:06:15.000Understandable emotions, even if this isn't a case that's, um, even if this is a straightforward, well, you're not supposed to stab people kind of case, even if this is your perspective on that, isn't it a shame that it comes into an environment of so much tension and so much agitation that it becomes a talking point and a contention point?
00:06:40.000I think it shows how far we've come from justice and trust and mutual good faith.
00:06:44.000Let me know what you think in the comments and chat.
00:06:46.000From both families, Anthony's mother described as weeping.
00:06:50.000Later, asking the court to please have mercy on my son.
00:06:54.000One of the things I love about Donald Trump is his wild wit and his ability to insult people.
00:06:58.000One of the things I'm less fond of is that his presidency has revealed that the true power does not lay in the executive branch of the White House, but is a globalist imperial power ultimately controlled by Satan.
00:07:09.000However, polymarkets, well, they might let you bet on that.
00:07:12.000But what you can definitely bet on right now is who will Trump insult by June 30?
00:07:45.000Well, Tom, we can tell you that Anthony was in tears as the jury left to decide his fate.
00:07:50.000He faces up to 99 years in prison, though his The defense is asking the jury to consider a sudden passion provision that could limit that window to just two to 20 years.
00:07:59.000For the prosecution's part, they are asking for a lengthy prison sentence, telling the jury nothing you do will take more from Carmelo Anthony and his family than he took from the Metcalfs.
00:08:11.000Oh, dear, what a terrible, ugly story.
00:08:14.000And also, isn't it kind of ghoulish that these things become fodder or further contention and discussion and debate?
00:08:24.000What I imagine is that 90%, maybe more, let me know in the comments and chat, the people that Prevaricate and pontificate on this subject have a kind of recognized perspective already.
00:08:39.000Like, this is a person that's going to see this along racial lines and condemn him outright, and condemn his supporters, and say, consider the victim and bang him up for life.0.89
00:08:49.000Then there are other people who are like, don't you know that black people have an inclination towards violence?0.94
00:08:56.000Like, that everyone will use these objects that lay on the conveyor belt of our dreadful culture to advance their ends.1.00
00:09:04.000I suppose here's how I will do that myself.
00:09:10.000There is no condemnation for those that are in Christ.
00:09:12.000And I don't mean to say that if you commit an act, there aren't consequences, and that those consequences can be, and perhaps one even might say ought be, judicial and criminal and conducted by a court, and that you do need to have a judiciary, and maybe you do need to have law enforcement, but a judiciary and law enforcement system that has no connection to the people over whom it demonstrates power.
00:09:36.000Can't claim authority and whatever the particularities of this case are.
00:09:40.000And it does seem like I don't know, man, someone's been stabbed, someone's dead, someone's going to jail for a long time.
00:09:45.000Tragedy all around, tragedy for everyone.
00:09:49.000The fact is that you cannot trust these judicial systems, you cannot trust policing.
00:09:56.000I don't mean that the people that operate in police forces all over your country and mine aren't decent, wholesome, fallen, broken people.
00:10:04.000I mean to say that you talk to anyone, they're not getting paid enough money, they're working too much overtime, they don't feel that they're respected.
00:10:14.000They don't understand the nature of their job.
00:10:16.000Shouldn't a police force actually be protecting and serving its community to a point where you feel so integrated with and connected to a police force that you feel so much that they are your public servants that in situations like this you don't default to whether it's the murder of Henry Novak in custody or death of Henry Novak in custody as a result of murder?0.60
00:10:34.000See, this proves everything I've been telling you about migration.
00:10:38.000Or with the stabbing of the poor lad, Metcalf.0.67
00:10:42.000And the inevitable incarceration of Carmelo Annie.0.96
00:11:15.000There are reasons why white people and black people and Jewish people and Muslims and Christians all have these harbored and increasing senses of agitation and opposition because these feelings are being fostered.
00:11:28.000And if we don't start to very deliberately address that, I think we're going to live well, you can't live in constant crisis.
00:11:37.000The crisis will spill over into something that requires further authoritarianism.
00:11:44.000Uprisings on the street, and that will happen sooner or later, I suppose.0.52
00:11:47.000Race war, you know, if you look at people that have operated in this space for longer than me, it does seem to be a preferred tactic, and it is, you know, in your country, especially relevant, I suppose, because of your country's unique history.0.58
00:12:00.000It's a tension that America lives with.0.63
00:12:01.000Anyway, even the people, the supporters outside, are themselves on the edge of further violence.
00:12:09.000The judge, as well, in this case, said it was not a case about race, but you cannot deny that just the facts of the case and what we've seen play out since then and what we're watching happening now is.0.77
00:12:21.000Because the defendant is black, the victim is white, and that's the bottom line.0.53
00:12:29.000But again, this is what I alluded to when I said this has brought out what's bubbling right beneath the surface.
00:12:37.000All of those people are men and women that Christ died for.
00:12:43.000And with the edict or guidance or condition or commandment love your enemy, love your enemy.
00:12:56.000Is anyone in this conversation or willing to do that, get to that point?
00:13:01.000Or does everyone want to continue to double down on their position?
00:13:05.000Here's what I think anyway, and here's some evidence for why I should continue to think this and indeed amplify these feelings.
00:13:53.000So for an African American community that feels long persecuted or that is carrying the trauma.
00:14:01.000Of slavery and Jim Crow, these trials, these rituals, these public events become a kind of catharsis and process through which they're re traumatized and re experience the many historic grievances inflicted upon them.
00:14:23.000I pray not by people that are alive now, but by a system that continues to abide.
00:14:29.000Until we see one another as brothers and sisters persecuted by the same system of fallenness, both.
00:14:36.000Inner and outer, the outer systems of government and control and media merely being the expression of fallenness.
00:14:44.000What I mean by that scripturally is the evil one is in control of this world.
00:15:59.000But what I feel is that forgiveness, when you don't feel forgiveness in your heart, it might be from like, who's hurt you most in the world?
00:16:07.000Is it probably one of the people you love most in the world?
00:16:11.000A child that's let you down, a lover that broke your heart, I don't know.
00:16:16.000Until you can arrive at forgiveness for that person, you will continue to suffer.
00:16:24.000You cannot hold on to this hatred and pain.
00:16:27.000What my prayer would be is that forgiveness can be found for all of the people involved in this.
00:16:34.000And you can see how it spirals outwards from the victim and the victim's family to the perpetrator and the perpetrator's family to people that have taken sides on racial or cultural lines.
00:16:45.000And he, our Lord, he that was without sin, meaning like the perfect principle, the potentiality of perfection, took flesh, took on a body and lived perfectly.
00:16:56.000And then in a way that's difficult to understand, in the same way I suppose that quantum physics is difficult to understand, in the same way that actually even quite simple things like, for me, carpentry and electricity and Wi-Fi are difficult to understand, this taking on of sin somehow reset, rebooted the system and granted us the possibility of participating if we are willing to forgive in a state of forgiveness.
00:17:17.000The forgiveness project, it was a UK art endeavour that I once went to an exhibition.
00:17:22.000Obviously, if you can find any materials to illustrate it, Massey, the Forgiveness Project, I think it was called.
00:17:27.000It included people that died as a result of terrorism and gang violence and told the stories of how, for example, the mother of a man murdered by a guy became friends with him, visited him in prison without forgiveness, without the capacity of forgiveness, without the value of forgiveness, without even acknowledging forgiveness as a necessary part of justice.
00:17:47.000Because, you know, i.e., if you believe in justice, you mean that you believe that there is an absolute standard.
00:17:58.000I'm better at arguing, and therefore justice will be what I tell you it is.
00:18:03.000If you believe in the objective idea of justice, you're saying that there's an absolute principle, an absolute adjudicator, an absolute king, absolute right, absolute righteousness.
00:18:11.000So whether you imagine that as Jesus or believe as Jesus or it's just some abstract thing, some numbers or blockchain, I don't know that that matters, particularly the avatar that you use in your mind when you're believing in justice.
00:18:25.000And everyone there believes in justice, and everyone that's talking about it online believes in justice.
00:18:29.000Otherwise, they'll be like, hey, nothing means anything.
00:18:30.000Everyone would just be sat passively, like, oh, it doesn't matter.
00:19:02.000And I don't care about the consequences.0.99
00:19:05.000The problem is, as we know and experience and live with nationally, internationally, locally, and interpersonally, without forgiveness, nothing ever ends.
00:19:19.000And furthermore, if like me, you believe in Jesus, you have been forgiven.
00:19:24.000For all the things you've done, and all the while you're ranting and raving about this terrible, awful crime young man dead, young man in jail.
00:19:31.000You're probably not spending the time that you need to spend looking at yourself and how you participate in less dramatic, but perhaps in the end, ultimately for you, significant ways of transgressing against others, hurting others, and not loving others.
00:19:53.000Even this example that someone shared with me recently in the book of Kings, there, Saul, the first king of the Israeli people.
00:20:01.000He pissed God off pretty early with what seemed like a pretty minor grievance.
00:20:35.000All of us can do our best, and collectively, we actually can do it.
00:20:38.000So, my prayer is that somehow this is resolved and that the Henry Novak's family receive also the comfort that they need.
00:20:47.000The fellow that's getting beheaded over there in Ireland or getting chopped up, you know, and the many people of a variety of colours in a variety of places that are experiencing violence and perpetrating violence recognize the futility of their fallen condition, and perhaps more importantly than that, The way that their actions continue to benefit a fallen system that wants us in this state of total conflict, total illusion, total despair, total ugliness, total illusion.
00:23:10.000But, you know, it's also life and it was a spirit of joy and adventure, wasn't it?
00:23:15.000And we were trying to create, create or generate a sense of togetherness and family and.
00:23:23.000Joy because this was making our kids very happy at a time where we knew we were going to do like a lengthy hospital trip with overnight stays and trying to, I suppose we were trying to anchor, you know, and that's okay.
00:23:36.000But yeah, love life, love the life that you have.
00:23:40.000Like I think I said to you when we were like, we had this conversation, should we take all the animals?
00:23:44.000And I said to you, and I said, well, I suppose like, what's the point in having the animals if you're not just going to have them with you, like living?
00:23:50.000That is actually kind of also crazy, but we would draw the line.
00:23:54.000We don't take them on airplanes and stuff, but.
00:25:05.000I'm about to tell you a story that is going to absolutely piss off a lot of people in the United States of America.
00:25:11.000Mel Carmine is an entrepreneur, filmmaker, and podcast host whose work spans independent media, emerging technologies, and alternative financial systems.
00:25:20.000Born in Sicily and raised in New Jersey, he built businesses from an early age before moving into media, where he developed an audience discussing subjects ranging from digital currencies and financial sovereignty to censorship, free speech, and government power.
00:25:35.000Through documentaries, including Dear Mr. President and Show Me the Money, as well as his podcast, live events, and educational platforms, he encourages people to question established narratives and explore how technology, finance, and individual liberty may shape the future.
00:25:51.000Mel, thanks so much for joining us today on Stay Free with Russell Brand.
00:26:51.000He said, You know, the guy that you introduced me to that's in charge with John Searle, who invented a magnetic motor, who's from your neck of the woods.
00:27:01.000S E A R L, John Searle, S E A R L. Look him up.
00:27:19.000He said, Yeah, I just don't tell anybody about it.
00:27:22.000I'm not really too fond of Hollywood, that kind of stuff.
00:27:25.000And so with that, basically, I was the guy that was supposed to make his $10 million a month electric bill disappear.
00:27:33.000And then he was going to an event with Tony Robbins, and these guys were on his tail.
00:27:40.000Obviously, there's obviously some unwritten laws in the United States and probably all over the world that you can't create wealth for a lot of little people and create a lot of wealth for yourself in the interim because they just don't want the little guys like me and you, I guess, to have power.
00:27:55.000But the power is going to switch at some point.
00:27:58.000There's no doubt in my mind that it's going to switch.
00:28:04.000What I felt was he's a person that, because of his entrepreneurialism, his early adaptation to Bitcoin technology and recognizing that Bitcoin mining was going to generate a lot of revenue, hence his $10 million a month electric bill, hence the billions generated, and the fact that his company, the company that he was associated with at least, was growing at the same rate as Facebook and Amazon in the early online days.
00:28:29.000Much of this information is available in Mickey Willis's brilliant film.
00:28:34.000There's a link to that in the description.
00:28:37.000Joby's real crime was he realized how much money could be generated through Bitcoin mining quicker than the people that want to slow the progress of digital currencies until they can discredit them, control them, and have their own digital currencies.
00:28:53.000Now, a lot of your work, it seems to me, Mel, is focused on what a lot of our audience are interested in the way that now centralized systems are struggling.
00:29:06.000To maintain centralized control because of decentralizing tech, whether that's independent news media, the possibility to get information out without it having to go through the filters of what we would call mainstream media.
00:29:22.000That doesn't mean that information is always good, but it does mean that it's not controlled in the way that centralized authority would prefer it to be.
00:29:29.000Or when it comes to the matter of digital currency, centralized banks and brokerage systems are no longer required in the same way because we can trade directly with one another.
00:29:41.000That is the antithesis of what they want centralized control of information, centralized control of trade.
00:29:47.000Hence the scriptural prophetic talk of bearing the mark on the right hand or probably a chip under the skin and bearing the mark on the forehead.
00:29:57.000Now, you, like me, I think, see us as being in a kind of end time moment, don't you, Mel?
00:30:04.000What appears to be happening is that, like your film Straw Man, for example, covers the idea that we exist both as a spiritual entity made in the image of God.
00:30:13.000But also as a legal entity, somewhat owned by the government.
00:30:16.000Can you explain to me what you mean by that straw man idea in the context of your film?
00:30:29.000They give you another number on the back of the actual social security card.
00:30:34.000And the actual line that you sign on isn't an actual line, it is actual fine print, which is further bamboozling you into their system.
00:30:44.000So they always say to read the fine print.
00:30:47.000You look at the social security number, it doesn't look like it's a line, it doesn't look like it's a fine print, it looks like it's a line.
00:30:54.000So people just sign on it, and you're signing basically your life away.
00:30:59.000Can you prove that if we like can my like I'm watching this with our producer, um, Massey?
00:31:05.000So will Massey be able to can you send him a link so that when we're showing this, we can pull that up and show it and enlarge and go see, look, can we demonstrate that?
00:31:21.000My wife, who's very computer savvy, my wife Amber, along with a bunch of my friends, what they did is they went to a computer website and they put in the social security number, the back of the social security number.
00:31:35.000I don't know exactly how they did it, but they all got a receipt back saying, hey, your bills were paid.
00:31:40.000My friend Molly paid a $33,000 credit card bill.
00:31:44.000My friend Bill, who's down in Boca Raton, he paid like $8,200.
00:32:07.000They just don't want you to know about it.
00:32:09.000Now, our movie is being sort of remastered.
00:32:13.000Maybe as of tomorrow, as early as tomorrow, there's going to be a remastered version of it, which is going to, if you thought the first one was amazing, this one that's going to be remastered is going to be even better.
00:32:24.000That we had to add to the movie, that I think, you know, you can't leave it out because it tells the whole story for what it's worth.
00:32:32.000So, we went out of our way, Russell, to basically trying to find the most prolific elementary pieces that we could find.
00:32:40.000And very, very, not that you need a low IQ, but because they've gone out of their way to dumb us down with the food, with the pesticides, herbicides, toothpaste, mouthwash, the clothes you wear, everything, right?0.92
00:32:52.000So, I had to tell the story in such a way where an average dumb guy like Mel Carmine can understand it, right?0.75
00:32:59.000I said, if I can understand it, then I know it's ready for world consumption.0.88
00:33:53.000And everybody wakes up in the morning, goes to work, and we're on this treadmill, and you technically don't have to go to work because they've had the robots, they've had the technology, they've had the AI, they just don't want to release it, right?
00:34:03.000But the reality is someone is enslaving us.0.89
00:34:44.000You get a Divorce license, you get a remarriage license if you're stupid enough to get married like some of us a second, a third, and a fourth time.0.92
00:34:51.000Every time you do that, that is a license, and those licenses get traded on the stock exchange and they use your social security number to keep track of everything.0.82
00:35:00.000I didn't know that, and I don't fully understand it, to be honest with you.
00:35:05.000But what you're saying is that because I don't understand what the monetary value is, and I also don't, even though I agree with the general idea that the state has ownership over you, that you are not free in the way that you think that you are free, that you are controlled in a million ways.
00:35:19.000Before breakfast, what I'm, it seems that you're telling me is that you can point to, and in the film, do point to, see what that says there on your driving license.
00:35:30.000See, like, you could pull up something on a state of Florida car.
00:35:34.000Well, let me finish so that I'm just clear.
00:35:36.000Like, on a license plate legislation, you could show me a bit of bureaucratic language that says your car is owned by the state, and therefore they could, if they wanted to, come and get it.
00:36:09.000The bottom line is she will take you directly to the website where they went, where they put the social.
00:36:14.000She'll show you, for example, if you have an American social security number, which I'm sure you do, you live in Florida now, you must have a social security number, right?
00:36:23.000Therefore, we can actually go and look up things that you've done in the last, well, like, you know, registering your car, a driver's license, little things like that.
00:36:31.000We can't keep putting this content on YouTube because we don't trust YouTube and we have a really great deal with Rumble.
00:37:02.000So, but that, yeah, that's very interesting to me.
00:37:06.000I recognize that bureaucracy is a kind of system of registering and enforcing power.
00:37:15.000And I also know that in practice, all of us live within pretty narrow parameters.
00:37:22.000And if you try to exceed those parameters, even just by things that you say publicly, You will feel the constricting force and power of the system.
00:37:33.000But I haven't done like research work in demonstrate.
00:37:38.000I just know that, for example, when I became very outspoken in ways that were inconvenient, that the mechanism existed to use the law to restrict that.
00:37:49.000And the same with Joby, you know, the same with Joby, for example.
00:37:52.000Okay, so with digital censorship is not a conspiracy.
00:37:56.000Can you tell me how, dear, what is in Dear Mr. President, what?
00:38:01.000Mel, is the point that you're making about free speech and digital censorship?
00:38:08.000Dear Mr. President, the first movie, which is free, and I did the movie free because even though it cost me money to make it, nobody works for free, but I had to pay these people to produce the movie that I envisioned about free speech.
00:38:22.000And we do believe that because I have some friends in very high places, not to brag, that have verified that the movie has landed across the desk of the administration, which To which he signed an executive order saying you are not allowed to censor free speech if you run a social media platform in the United States.
00:38:48.000Even this one, sir, with all due respect, I understand you have some kind of partnership going on with Rumble, but I've been stuck at 30,300 people.
00:39:00.000I've sent them some very, very incredibly well written emails.
00:39:03.000Nobody even answers back because they can't.
00:39:05.000Defend themselves because they know that I'm right.0.94
00:39:08.000So, therefore, you know, the only way to fix this is someone's got to wake up in the morning and grab the bull by the balls and say, you know what?0.86
00:39:57.000I'm surprised to hear that Rumble do it because I don't think Rumble, I don't know how Rumble works behind the, you know, behind the, underneath the hood, as it were, but I know people that run Rumble pretty well.
00:40:09.000And it seems to me that they, yeah, of course they're running a business, but that their business is based on free speech and, in particular, posing themselves as a distinct organization from, say, YouTube, which is extremely sensorial in a number of brilliant ways.
00:40:40.000Doing videos, and I interviewed guys who knew a lot, who was in my movie, David Strait, about the straw man.
00:40:48.000And I only had 6,800 subscribers, and I thought people were going to unsubscribe and I was going to go back to selling energy deregulation.
00:40:56.000And that video was so well done, and the interview was so well done because I'm also pretty good at interviewing people.
00:41:03.000And that video gets 219,000 views that weekend, and I got 6,900 people.
00:41:11.000And now I got, you know, one channel's got 54,000, another one's got 14,000, another one's got 17,000.
00:41:16.000I got a bunch of channels with a bunch of stuff, right?
00:41:20.000The bottom line is why now I do videos and I got a lot more experience and I bring in incredible guests and my videos are not allowed to go over 4,000.
00:41:31.000But yet I got 54,600 and something people, whatever.
00:41:35.000But yet I'm not allowed to get those big numbers that I was getting when I had 10,000, 5,000, 6,000.
00:41:45.000I mean, I've gotten better at my craft.
00:41:47.000I should get even better numbers, right?
00:41:49.000But because we are going against the status quo, look, at the end of the day, whether you like to believe it or not, social media in America is being run by Marxist, communist ideology.
00:42:39.000What's been very interesting about the last few years, Mel, is recognizing that.
00:42:47.000There are ways that you can inhabit this system with a degree of financial success and freedom.
00:42:55.000If the extent of your requirement for freedom is just really the pursuit of pleasure, you can carve out little avenues and pathways where you can live in a kind of a silo of pleasure.
00:43:09.000But when you start to recognize that you are being controlled, The only way you can really go, if you ask me, is to turn towards God and in allowing God to do his work in you, see how and if the tools of this machine can be leveraged or charged in a different direction.
00:43:37.000And that's the middle of the struggle that I'm in right now.
00:43:41.000And you can sort of see that, you know, Joby Weeks must have had some kind of impact, Andrew Tate must have had some kind of impact, I must have had some kind of impact.
00:43:51.000Or you could believe the sort of alternative story that's available on all of those imperfect and fallen, broken men who definitely have errors in their past, for sure.
00:44:03.000But what I'm interested in when it comes to your work as a storyteller, Mel, is how you have told the story of, for example, in The Straw Man, that we are owned, like bureaucratically owned, and what we can do about it.
00:44:24.000And the same with digital censorship, that we are being controlled.
00:44:26.000I know that in the United Kingdom, what's happening right now is that the explicit story is in order to protect.
00:44:35.000Children from obscene imagery, new censorship is going to be introduced.
00:44:41.000And that new censorship will basically require that people have a permit to go online.
00:44:47.000Now, we're not there yet in the United States, but we could end up there very, very quickly if we're not careful.
00:44:57.000So I wonder, Mel, if you've begun to think of what the alternative to these restrictive models might be.
00:45:07.000You know, that's a great question, Russell.
00:45:08.000The alternative is for people to find vacuums.
00:45:12.000They have created this vacuum, for example, with censorship, right?
00:46:34.000My worry about individualism and leaning into personal self, Mel, is our own.0.81
00:46:43.000I mean, you've even alluded in our conversation so far to your requirement for your dear wife who's too shy to come on podcasts.
00:46:50.000And yeah, me and my wife, we just started doing one Sunday service where we just read the Bible and talk about our current spiritual challenges.
00:47:03.000Because the biggest thing that's happened in my life in the last couple of years, and there's been a lot of big things that have happened in my life in the last couple of years, is the revelation that Christ is real.
00:47:13.000And I think that can be easily misinterpreted because the institutions that you are describing mostly through their technological capacity, their current technological capacity,
00:47:29.000for example, the bureaucratic ability in the last 50 years of the state to declare ownership over you through the process of birth registration and now vehicular control through vehicle registration and As the technology increases, so their power will increase.
00:47:49.000I reckon these systems have always been present because new technology, by its almost by definition, tends to end up in the hands of the most powerful institutions and groups that further consolidate their advantage.
00:48:03.000I mean, we all know that this technology, one of its functions is it develops the next wave of technology.
00:48:08.000So there's this sort of exponential growth in the areas where control is already concentrated.
00:48:14.000That's why I suppose people always question the provenance and doubt the truth of the idea that.
00:48:21.000E.g., Mark Zuckerberg was making that thing in a garage, or Serge Brin and Larry Page came up with Google themselves, particularly when, as Mike Benz brilliantly explained, their PhD while they were still at college was funded by a CIA carve out.
00:48:40.000You start to see that actually the reach and power of these centralized systems goes way beyond what we have imagined.
00:48:53.000And an ingenious entrepreneur needs to be interrogated before it's believed.
00:48:58.000What I see, I reckon, maybe, even though I agree with you on the most important things, the state is evil.
00:49:04.000All of the powerful institutions in the world, whether they're media, communications, technology, or finance, are in some way that's difficult to fully understand, centrally controlled by one group, and that there's potentially an occultist component.
00:49:18.000That the answer to this problem, even if you disagree on the nature of the problem, because some people might just go, no, these people are just.
00:49:26.000It's just Bill Gates buying up farmland.
00:49:28.000It's just powerful people influencing and controlling resources.
00:49:33.000Even if you just see it in that way, and I don't think there's a problem with seeing it that way, the solution remains the same to establish new models for survival outside of the system.
00:49:47.000Like you've said, Jim Gale came on and talked to us about food independence.
00:49:52.000We want to talk to people about energy independence.
00:49:54.000Joby is all about financial independence and trade independence.
00:49:59.000I'm Interested in the independence and freedom of information and the establishment of truly participatory democratic systems where communities can be run by the members of that community as much as they want to be involved with no restriction.
00:50:13.000So, if you take any issue of our day, whether it's the kind of neoliberal wokeism in schools type issues or the migration challenges or police brutality, whether that's against a white kid in the UK or against a black man in the United States, all of these issues can be.
00:50:35.000Brokered, limited, curtailed, controlled, improved by allowing the people of a community to meaningfully engage in the way their community is managed.
00:50:47.000I mean, the literal voting on budgets and the distribution of resources, the tedious business of politics.
00:50:54.000In fact, the ideology and glamour should be stripped out of politics altogether.
00:51:00.000In order for this to happen, we as a culture have to let go of our mad fetishization of objects.
00:51:08.000Gadgetry, sexualization of one another, obsession with progress and the idea that there's going to be some object coming down the line that's going to improve our lives.
00:51:18.000And that's the spiritual work that has to be done.
00:51:20.000It's difficult to undertake that voluntarily.
00:51:22.000And I haven't undertaken it voluntarily.
00:51:24.000I've undertaken it because as a result, I think of the work I was doing during the pandemic, a sort of a series of crises entered into my life.
00:51:33.000And out of that crisis, I've experienced revelation.
00:51:38.000And it's the revelation of the nature that I've just described.
00:51:43.000Do you think then, Mel, mate, that what we should be doing is organizing among entrepreneurial individuals systems for establishing communities that mean that we could voluntarily decouple from the master system,
00:51:59.000i.e., a new confederacy of secession, where each community, as long as we agree to certain, one would call them common sense, moral, and ethical laws? around respecting people's individual personal freedom, sanctity, ability to consent, leave the community, no murder, no stealing, all that kind of basic stuff.
00:52:19.000That once you did that, you could have a confederacy that would include Muslim communities, Christian communities, secular, atheist communities, communities that want to, uh, aggregate and, um, uh, organize around their sexuality, if that's what they wanted, like a whole gay community where if they wanted to, they could have a, they could, um, have bio babies, whatever.
00:52:40.000You'd get out of the business of a community's morality.
00:52:43.000You'd focus on your own personal connection to God and focus on using the technology that we have now to increase freedom.
00:52:49.000Because as you've said, the technology always seems to increase the ability of the state to control.
00:53:45.000Because I basically stopped believing when you do what I do for 40 years plus, and the man does not come down from the sky, you start to doubt everything.
00:54:07.000But if you think the state, who is completely total communistic in nature, Marxist in nature, they've brainwashed your kids, they want to control your money.
00:54:16.000The reason why XRP and Bitcoin and all these, they don't want this stuff is because if I wanted to buy your house, for example, Russell, and you accept Bitcoin or XRP or whatever it is, and I'm willing to send that money directly to your wallet, do I need a bank?
00:54:40.000So we can take over, we can create systems that clean up the atmosphere, we can create systems that clean up the dirt.
00:54:49.000Tell Donald Trump, say, why don't you sign an executive order that says, listen, if you stop, if you don't stop spraying us, that the people that run the air forces around the country can just come up with war jets and escort you down to a military base and bring your ass down to Guantanamo Bay and advertise that on the evening news.0.98
00:55:08.000Your problem will be solved in about 22 fucking nanoseconds.0.99
00:55:28.000If we don't free up the fucking microphones, you can yell at the top of the biggest mountain, Mount Everest, okay, that you should grow your own food.1.00
00:55:39.000But if someone is in charge of the damn microphone, you can yell until your eyes pop out of your skull.1.00
00:55:45.000Ain't nobody listening to you, dog.0.99
00:55:49.000So let's fix, first thing first, let's fix the microphone.
00:55:52.000Let's get a platform that when I build the platform, and maybe, you know, all these influential people will invite me on their podcast, say, you know what?
00:56:15.000That's my, this is the biggest endeavor that I've done in my entire life.
00:56:20.000And whatever it takes, balls to the walls, I will deliver the platform exactly the way it's on paper.
00:56:27.000Artificial intelligence said this Mel, if you deliver this and you charge people through the blockchain, Exactly the way it's on digital paper, and you build it with the best AI, with the proper backing, financial backing, et cetera.
00:56:43.000This is going to crush YouTube, Facebook, anybody that wants to get in our way.
00:57:34.000And I did see someone on X, right, mate?1.00
00:57:37.000Like a working class white geezer, tattooed up, earrings in.1.00
00:57:44.000And this is why we got to have, you know, like a proper rant about how he felt.0.99
00:57:51.000And, you know, I don't know how many views it had, like, or what the guy's pedigree was, but he was there to be seen on X, you know?
00:58:06.000So, like, Any new platform that is going to deliver, like right say now, if I look on X, Nick's fans attacked a five guys employee for being a Spurs fan, I can see riots, I can see protests.
00:58:23.000Now, I'm not saying that I agree with you 100%.
00:58:26.000I agree with you, but I reckon the only way we can succeed when it comes to when I think the only thing when it comes to.
00:58:40.000Establishing platforms and any of these systems.
00:58:44.000You know, what's going to be demanded of us is that we are at the level of integrity when it comes to profit.
00:58:51.000Oh man, we're going to be our feet are going to be to the coals because we cannot be in any way looking for anything other than the service of God.
00:58:59.000Because right now, there are good platforms out there that have enough free speech.
00:59:06.000And this system is robust enough to accommodate quite a lot of free speech.
00:59:13.000I say basically wherever I want on Rumble three times a week.
00:59:16.000And the truth is, it doesn't make that much difference because there are so many ways to control the access, maybe even the devices themselves.
00:59:27.000You know, we don't know what the hardware does.
00:59:30.000We don't know what logically AI and all of these groups that governments employ and corporations employ to manage social media impact.
00:59:37.000You know, like their power is really what has to be thought of.
00:59:40.000But I will say, mate, that both of your film, Strawman and Dear Mr. President, you're doing incredible work and you have exactly the kind of spirit that we need.
01:01:05.000I want the Republic to be reinstated.0.85
01:01:07.000I want the American Incorporation to go away.
01:01:10.000I want people to come to my wellness center, staying alive in Cape Canaveral, and sit in the bio photonic frequency energy and look as good as me when you're 63.
