Glenn Beck is joined by Neil Oliver, an archaeologist, historian, author, and TV presenter who has become a political lightning rod because of his outspoken opposition to global environmentalism, vaccines, and chemical lockdowns. Glenn and Tanya talk about what it means to be pro-choice, and why it s important to remember that the people promising solutions are the same people responsible for the problems.
00:06:20.940Then I retrained as a journalist working in newspapers, local newspapers, local weekly newspapers for a few years.
00:06:26.640Long story short, I stumbled into television in the early 2000s and I made, from that time onwards, for about 15 years, quite soft documentaries about archaeology, about history, celebrating landscape, meeting interesting people along the way.
00:06:50.660And then I did go through an evolution, I suppose, around the start of, or even before COVID's advent and the lockdowns and all the rest of the madness.
00:07:06.100I think I put my head above the parapet a few times.
00:07:09.980Back in 2014, there was a referendum held in Scotland to decide whether or not Scotland would remain part of the union of the United Kingdom or strike out as an independent country.
00:07:24.420I put my head above the parapet in favour of maintaining the union.
00:07:28.000I like Britain and said so, which made me a lightning rod for all kinds of criticism from the other side, those who fervently wanted Scottish independence.
00:07:39.380Hold on just a second, but it wasn't really Scottish independence.
00:07:44.080The choice was England or stay with the EU, which is worse, I think, right?
00:07:51.280Well, yes, you raise a good point, because amongst the arguments I subsequently went on to make, and I wasn't alone in doing this,
00:07:58.120because it seemed to me that the analogy would be, if you wanted to get divorced from your overbearing partner, might it not make sense to just be on your own, at least for a while?
00:08:10.680Where what was being proposed by the Scottish National Party was a quickie divorce and then scuttled down the aisle as fast as possible to marry Europe.
00:08:21.300An even more overbearing partner, because having broken with the rest of the UK, Scotland would have been out of the European Union in every way,
00:08:33.060and would have had to reapply and would have been seeking to rejoin as an independent country,
00:08:38.260which would have been bedevilled by problems, not least the fact that countries like Spain,
00:08:43.300with the Basque separatists and Catalonia and the rest,
00:08:49.500were not likely to be receptive to a separatist, secessionist country joining,
00:08:55.220because it would set a precedent that might have been uncomfortable.
00:08:57.400Anyway, long story short, yes, it didn't make sense to me that you would break one marriage only to get married again
00:09:05.260into even more repressive circumstances, even less independence.
00:12:49.640So I'm not I'm not a card carrying political supporter of the left, of the right or of the centre.
00:12:57.260I always I just mean, I suppose I was a centrist, but only because I didn't feel pulled to either extreme.
00:13:03.500I think I've always held quite rational middle of the road, perhaps traditionally liberal with a small L views.
00:13:12.980I just believe in freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom to protest, freedom to get on with your life with minimum government, actually, is what I believe in.
00:13:22.920And if that makes me a contrarian and an extremist, then so be it.
00:13:26.140Yeah, I have to tell you, we're having the argument that it's, you know, Republicans, Democrats, it's this party, that party, back and forth.
00:13:33.500I've really come to the conclusion that is only a distraction.
00:13:39.560It really is because it's happening all over.
00:14:56.760We're being you know when you sometimes people play with a cat by by with a torch and they shine a light on the floor and they just move around.
00:15:03.640And the cat springs from where the bright patches to the next place where the bright patches.
00:15:45.960It will shortly be a ball of charcoal falling through infinity, leaving a trail of smoke behind us.
00:15:50.960If you listen to the to the the prophets of doom, the war in Ukraine, the war in Ukraine is not about saving democracy.
00:15:58.580I'm not really going to say what I think the war in Ukraine is about, but it's not about saving democracy.
00:16:03.580So that's that's that's another useful distraction.
00:16:06.360May I suggest I was just on the air today and I said something that it puts me into a category that I'm uncomfortable being in because I'm a guy like you.
00:16:27.900You know, same with politicians, but enough to go.
00:16:31.200You know, we make mistakes, but we generally try to do the right thing.
00:16:35.260I believe our government, the United States government and most Western governments are so far off the rails.
00:16:43.660I truly believe that this is all about the Great Reset.
00:16:48.820And we are we watch our president and it is like we're itching for war.
00:16:53.960Why would you send not defensive weapons, but offensive weapons that, you know, are going to be used in the Crimea, which Putin will never do it.
00:17:05.780And even today, day number one, they're in Russia saying they're declaring war on us.
00:17:13.360Joe Biden, a year ago, said if we send tanks and airplanes that listen, folks, no joke, it'll be World War three.
00:17:23.540I think they are trying to collapse our economies.
00:17:27.960They're trying to collapse the social order so they can reset it all closer, as your Fabian socialist said, closer to their heart's desire.
00:17:39.660So, I mean, am I not right in saying that when Joe Biden pulled America out of Afghanistan, he said it was in part to do with bringing to an end America being involved in forever wars?
00:18:46.940Oh, while he goes to put the dog out, something that hasn't happened before, it's a good time to take a break.
00:18:55.440The American Society of Health Care Pharmacists, the group that tracks the production of medications all around the world, has declared a worldwide shortage of antibiotics, specifically amoxicillin.
00:19:07.580This is a critical drug used to combat all kinds of infections.
00:19:12.380And in some cases, you can't get it right now.
00:19:32.000It is a great way to keep yourself prepared for the very worst, but it's also a way just to stay prepared.
00:19:37.700If you're going on vacation someplace, you get a pack of five different courses of antibiotics that you can use to treat a long list of bacterial illnesses.
00:19:48.040Things like UTIs, respiratory infections, sinusitis, skin infections and a lot more.
00:19:54.020It is a great way to be ready for shortages and it's perfect for the small things and you're traveling.
00:20:00.360This has really changed people's lives.
00:20:04.740This is something that I highly recommend.
00:20:37.680And I started doing my homework mainly because I wanted to put we we rip on each other hard.
00:20:43.000And and so I read a book by one of my favorite historians called I think it's how the Scottish saved the Western world or something like that.
00:20:55.000And I was astounded by how much of our founding, the stock and the strength came from the Scottish.
00:21:06.000I want you to talk about that for just a bit.
00:21:11.040What did Scotland contribute to the world of freedom?
00:21:58.580He became the king of England and Scotland.
00:22:00.300Then in 1707, the parliaments, the both the English and the Scottish parliament were dissolved.
00:22:05.700And a separate parliament of a united parliament was created in 1707.
00:22:12.180That was very controversial at the time.
00:22:14.840And when the when the when the Scottish parliament was dissolved and the ink was drying on the paper that had dissolved that parliament, the bells in the in the in St.
00:23:07.980You know, to continue that marriage analogy.
00:23:11.640And Scotland took that opportunity by the scruff of the neck.
00:23:16.180And the Scots became really preeminent, disproportionately represented in what became the British Empire.
00:23:25.140Everywhere the British Empire went, be it to India or into Africa or anywhere else, Scots, often a disproportionately large number of Scots were at the forefront of it, wherever it went.
00:23:40.660Great organisers, great administrators, great bureaucrats, great engineers, great fighting men.
00:23:48.420So Scots and then that bridgehead having been established by the soldiers and the engineers and the administrators, the rest of the population really saw the opportunity as well.
00:24:04.600And so in short order, Scots were everywhere on the planet.
00:24:10.520They were there and in many, in most instances, they were there helping to improve places, often by just of being there and being hardworking and industrious.
00:24:23.380And so the Scots began to reap the rewards of the British Empire every bit as enthusiastically as any English person did.
00:24:31.260And we now find ourselves in a situation where I think it's reasonable to estimate that there's perhaps, well, there are about five million Scots in Scotland, but there's estimated to be 50 million people of Scottish descent scattered around the globe.
00:24:47.940You know, that's that's the extent to which we made that impact.
00:24:50.800And so really, I think in answer to your question, I think the opportunity of that 18th century union opened the world to Scotland and the Scots by nature, by inclination, were ready, were ready for the off.
00:25:05.940There's an interesting bit of background as well.
00:25:08.720Now, before the union, before any of that happened, the reformation that happened all across Europe, where people broke away from the traditional Catholic church and became Protestant in all various different sects and forms of the Protestant faith.
00:25:26.580In Scotland, very much the leader of the reformation in Scotland, the man that came to the fore was John Knox, you'll know, obviously.
00:25:33.620And he insisted, amongst other things, that every parish really in Scotland should have a school.
00:25:40.800Up until that point, education had been harder to come by.
00:25:44.060It was really the preserve of, you know, the great and the good.
00:25:46.740Rich men's sons were educated and not so much for the rest.
00:25:51.480John Knox and the reformation meant that what he wanted everyone, every man, woman and child to read the Bible in English for themselves, you know,
00:26:00.580get away from bishops and the hierarchy of the church, establish this personal relationship with God.
00:26:06.480And to do that, you needed to be able to read so that you could read your Bible.
00:26:10.740And the collateral benefit of all of that was that everyone learned to read and write.
00:26:17.480And in short order, in the century following the reformation, Scotland became the most literate population in Europe.
00:26:27.540A larger proportion of Scots, of all classes, rich and poor, male and female, could read and write competently than any other population that you might want to point a finger at.
00:26:39.320And that was, that was, that was, that was incredibly important as well, because when you then subsequently got the union, when Scotland and England came together and the world opened up, you had all these educated people.
00:26:50.560You had all, and the thoughts, the thoughts from these educated people made their way to America and our founders used a lot of these new thoughts and really well argued thoughts to create our nation.
00:27:08.940So here's, and every time I look, I brought something, I have a incredible history museum.
00:27:16.740And one of the things we collect are, are any tales from the, the Western culture.
00:27:25.500So this is, this is one of our new acquisitions.
00:27:29.460This is the sort of Braveheart from the Mel Gibson movie.
00:27:37.820Um, uh, when you come over, I'll let you put it on.
00:27:41.320Uh, but, uh, but, uh, but when we think of the Scots, we think of people, at least in America, people who fought to be free, fought to be free, fought against the Kings, fought against all of this stuff and knew who they were proud in heritage.
00:28:00.520And now the Scots are, I mean, no offense, but it's like you're sheep now.
00:28:09.260The Scottish National Party happened when I was growing up and becoming aware of things political, let's say, you know, when I knew what was going on, the Scottish National Party was very small.
00:28:24.580It was a fringe movement, it was a fringe movement, really, uh, often regarded as quite an eccentric bunch, uh, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a succession of, of competent politicians, it began to grow.
00:28:44.860And then, and then famously under Alex Salmond, it reached a high watermark by achieving this long dreamt of referendum that would have, that was to decide whether or not Scotland remained part of the union or left, as previously discussed.
00:28:57.200And then that didn't happen. Alex Salmond then stepped away and was replaced by Nicola Sturgeon, who is the first minister and has been ever since.
00:29:05.340And I'll be, I'll be honest with you, the, the Scottish National Party and Nicola Sturgeon have run Scotland into the ground.
00:29:11.740Uh, they are incompetent would be the fairest way to describe what's been going on.
00:29:16.920Everything they touch turns to, well, yeah, everything they touch turns to something you wouldn't want to touch or smell.
00:29:23.260And, uh, the infrastructure, uh, the National Health Service in Scotland, education.
00:29:37.020Having a Scottish education used to be something you bragged about.
00:29:41.080You know, anywhere in the world, if you had been educated at school in Scotland and then at a Scottish university, that was a badge of, that was a badge of honour.
00:29:50.300And you could sort of hold your head high anywhere when people learned that you'd been educated in Scotland.
00:29:57.840Now, education standards have fallen so far in Scotland that Nicola Sturgeon and her SNP government have taken Scotland off of the international league tables because it's too embarrassing now to have Scotland compared with other nations because we fall so far down the league.
00:30:18.800And it's very important, I would say, Glenn, it's very important for your, for your audience to hear that the portrayal of Scotland that comes from the SNP and the Scottish government does not speak for the majority of Scots.
00:30:49.260And I think people in England, certainly, and perhaps people in North America, they might get the idea that when they hear Nicola Sturgeon's voice, that's Scotland speaking.
00:31:51.060Everywhere you look, the wheels are falling off.
00:31:54.460That's why I would urge you to invest now in emergency food before it's too late.
00:31:59.660I'm talking about the, the farmers in, in Holland.
00:32:03.700These are, these are some of the most important farms in, uh, on the continent of Europe because they provide, they're the second, um, most prosperous, uh, or productive farmers in the world.
00:32:19.300And the government's just shutting them down.
00:32:21.680What are you going to do when there's no food?
00:32:25.440Hopefully this doesn't happen in America, but there's going to be a food shortage around the world.
00:32:30.360Please make sure your family is prepared.
00:32:32.720My Patriot supply.com get their three month emergency food kit.
00:32:50.180Explain to me, um, something is this what I was driving at?
00:32:54.640Um, your COVID lockdown was probably only second to, uh, Australia or New Zealand.
00:33:02.720Um, it, it, it, and, and it, it instituted all of these tracking devices.
00:33:10.360And now you've just declared a new national emergency, as I understand it with global warming.
00:33:17.280And now you're being restricted on how many miles you can drive, or at least they're tracking all of it.
00:33:23.080Can you explain what's happening and how, how is Scotland putting up with this?
00:33:31.400Well, as previously mentioned, it's never about what they say it's about.
00:33:37.600COVID enabled, uh, politicians to take for themselves an inordinate amount of power, the like of which they had never previously had.
00:33:47.040They've been drunk on that power ever since.
00:33:50.800And in the way of politicians having shortened the leash around the people's necks, they are completely disinclined to give us any slack.
00:33:58.560So having been able to take away people's liberties in all manner of ways, they are disinclined to give them back to us as if they were ever theirs to give us in the first place.
00:34:08.560I mean, those rights are, are born rights.
00:34:11.240You know, they are rights instituted by the universe and God or, or, or whoever it is that you take your, that you take your transcendental orders from.
00:34:18.800But having got those powers, they want to hold onto them.
00:34:22.160COVID has run out of steam and now the climate crisis, so-called, which I don't buy into at all.
00:34:28.320I believe that the climate changes in the same way that I believe the climate has been changing for billions of years.
00:34:34.260For as long as there's been an atmosphere on planet earth, there's been a climate.
00:34:45.380And sometimes we go through, depending on our relationship with the sun, the angle of the tilt of the planet, the shape of our orbit from, from steep oval to more of a circle dictates periods of warm and periods of cold and they alternate.
00:35:01.520And even in the, within living memory, within recorded memory, there have been very hot periods followed by cold periods.
00:35:08.080I grew up in a time when we were being told in the UK that look out, there's a new ice age coming.
00:35:13.080There were, there were, there were, there were mock-ups on the front pages of daily newspapers showing icebergs floating down the Thames and polar bears.
00:35:20.100In one of the, and now it's, and now it's.
00:35:22.460Time magazine did a story in 1972, I think, talking about the ways to solve it.
00:35:28.920And one seriously discussed solution was to put soot on the polar ice cap.
00:35:36.760I mean, their, their, their suggestions now are just as ridiculous, except the governments are run with these private partner, you know, public private partnerships, the banks, the central banks who are just looking for power and money.
00:35:54.880And they know what they've built is collapsing.
00:35:58.880So they're just building framework that will catch them.
00:36:01.600We'll all fall into the, in, into the bottom.
00:37:10.160They don't get to voice, they don't get to air their opinions in the way that I do.
00:37:14.140You know, I'm very, you and I are very fortunate in that we have platforms and we're able to get the word out about what we're saying.
00:37:19.360But there's, there's a huge groundswell of, of population out there who know, who have awoken at different times in their own time, in the same way that I did.
00:37:28.480We're all operating on different internal clocks and different things trigger different people and make them aware.
00:37:33.660There's all these people out there, too many.
00:37:35.580I think that, that lump of the population now that is awake, has tuned into what's going on and doesn't like it, is more and more numerous.
00:37:44.060And I think that the, the elite, the powers that be in whatever, I think they have a real problem.
00:37:49.080I think they have a tiger by the tail now.
00:37:51.260You know, you talk about these public-private partnerships, the World Economic Forum, you know, operating out of Switzerland, Klaus Schwab being its boss.
00:38:00.580You know, he talks and has been talking since the 1970s about stakeholder capitalism.
00:38:04.900Which, when you boil it, when you boil it down, it basically means giving the boards of huge transnational corporations the decision-making power in lieu of national governments.
00:38:30.900You mentioned the impact that Scots had had in North America, and obviously I would echo that.
00:38:37.740I'm very aware of, of a, of a man, a character, Francis Hutchison, who in the latter part of the 18th century, so the 1700s, 1770s something, he held the chair.
00:38:49.460He was the professor of moral philosophy at Glasgow University.
00:38:52.260And he, he taught, he preached almost, that rather than being manna from heaven, falling randomly onto the, onto the heads of the blessed, happiness, happiness was something that ought to be worked for.
00:39:09.980And he, furthermore, he suggested that to make yourself happy, the best way to do that was to work with all of the strength of your body and spirit to improve the lot and the lives of others.
00:39:46.780He's also, of course, a signatory of the Declaration of Independence.
00:39:49.860And there's good reason for speculating that the very idea of life, life, love and the pursuit of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the pursuit of happiness might be an echo of Witherspoon, that happiness was to be earnestly pursued.
00:40:11.640It didn't just happen to lucky people.
00:40:13.520It was the obligation, the responsibility of each one of us to pursue, with all the fibre in our beings, happiness.
00:40:21.320And by that pursuit, we would make the people around us, the communities, the families, we would make those people happier as well.
00:40:27.980So there was something fundamental and profound that came out of the Enlightenment, the Scottish Enlightenment, that went around the world.
00:40:36.620And there's certainly a good reason for thinking.
00:40:38.760It certainly had an influence on that gathering that was working out and talking about what the nature of the new country of the United States of America was going to be.
00:40:50.740And I also come back all the time to Magna Carta, 1215.
00:40:56.420That was a grand charter that was sealed.
00:41:00.720The King John couldn't, didn't sign it.
00:41:42.060And all of the power rests with the people.
00:41:44.200And people need to be re-educated in the fundamental concept that we lend our power to our elected representatives.
00:41:52.600And when their time in office comes to an end, they hand that power back to the people to then redistribute it again.
00:41:59.600And all of this nonsense that's going on at the moment, this public partnership, stakeholder capitalism, this is just a ruse by a narrow elite of people that want to centralise power.
00:42:23.800And we're being distracted left and right by COVID, a pandemic, another pandemic in two years' time, climate crisis, war in Ukraine.
00:42:32.140And in the background, all of these pieces on the chessboard are being moved without us noticing it to enable the kind of tyranny that you're describing.
00:42:40.740And people need to waken up to something quite simple, which is that they, we, the people, there's eight billion of us and there's a few thousand elite.
00:42:49.220We have the power and we are not to be told what to do.
00:42:54.200On the contrary, we tell them what to do.
00:42:56.800And the sooner the mass of the populations remember that inalienable right, then the happier we'll all be.
00:43:03.980I just read something that was done on American radio in 1937.
00:43:13.200I think it's called The Fall of the City.
00:43:50.980That's exactly what's happening right now.
00:43:53.920And I, I, I, you know, I've struggled with this for a while.
00:43:57.740And I'm this, one of the reasons I love talking to you is I love to see people who woke up and what woke them up.
00:44:05.100Because we don't make it, if they build this whole system, it's going to be harder to get out once this whole, you know, China is the model kind of system.
00:44:42.300I mean, conspire literally means to breathe together.
00:44:46.900You know, it's, it's where your heads are close enough together that you can, that you're sharing each other's breath while you're talking to one another.
00:45:13.940You know, people were able to conspire online and share ideas and reassure one another that they were not alone.
00:45:19.080And they hadn't gone mad that there were, that there were thousands and then tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands and millions of people who believe and think the same thing.
00:45:38.700I think people need to be reminded of that which they know to be true.
00:45:44.260You know, when you take it all the way back to, you know, what's known in, well, and certainly in, in historically in Britain as common law.
00:45:50.480But if you take it even further back to natural law, everyone knows right from wrong.
00:45:55.720You know, that's the, that's the premise of, of natural law.
00:46:01.940Whether they choose to choose the right or the wrong is, that's personal.
00:46:06.000But everyone knows the difference between.
00:46:08.540And people, because of that, are more than capable of, of governing themselves.
00:46:14.360That's, you're talking about government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
00:46:20.920What's being instituted at the moment, certainly here, but all across the West, is a, is a, is a framework within which, and it's been there for a long time, where governments legislate, they, they make up law.
00:46:37.960That's what legislation is, they conjure up laws out of nowhere, and they then retain to themselves the power to enforce those laws, and also to punish those who break the laws.
00:46:53.560If your governing body makes the laws, imposes the laws, and punishes, breaches of that law, that means they're holding all the levers of power.
00:47:03.060Common law, which is there in Magna Carta, but it's much older than Magna Carta, it's a, it's a thousands of years old principle, really enshrines within it the power of the jury.
00:47:17.000Well, people have forgotten what that really means.
00:47:20.880In, in the original iteration, trial by jury was manifesting the democracy of the people.
00:47:30.140It was, it was manifesting the power of the people.
00:47:33.060Because when a, when someone was brought for trial before a jury of their peers, of people just like them, that jury of 12 people in England, or 15 people in Scotland, was empowered, actually obliged, not just to decide the guilt or innocence of the accused, but to judge the justice of the law.
00:47:54.760And it meant that even if the evidence demonstrated that a person had broken the law, had broken the legislation, it didn't automatically mean that they had to be convicted.
00:48:07.560The jury had the power to say, yes, I know the law, and I've heard the evidence, and we as a majority still think that person should be acquitted.
00:48:18.060And furthermore, we're setting aside that law as, as not good.
00:48:23.800That was called nullification by, by jury.
00:48:54.760Okay, the power in the jury, the jury, as it properly was instituted, is the most powerful manifestation of the power of the people to make sure that we, and not our rulers, decide on the justice of the law itself.
00:49:13.180And people need to be reminded of some of these fundamentals.
00:49:16.920The government is here today and gone tomorrow, or should be.
00:49:20.620But the people are sovereign and are always here.
00:49:28.340And that's what people really need to be reminded of.
00:49:31.100People fundamentally need to be reminded of the sacrosanct, the absolute untouchable, the inviolability of the right, the born right of the human being.
00:50:03.900And people need to be, if people remember those fundamentals, instead of being cowed in the face of a legislation that says, go to your homes and stay there until we let you out.
00:50:14.360The next time anyone tries to do that, the people have to be, have the confidence to say, no, you can't do that to me.
00:50:22.400I am free and you do not have the power to take that freedom from me.
00:50:27.620In answer to your question, people need to get back to fundamentals.
00:50:30.860You know it's bad when you get something like your credit card stolen.
00:50:34.920You have to go through all of the hassle of getting it replaced, plus working with your credit card company to clear the fraudulent charges.
00:50:42.320You can't go out and use your credit card until they send you a new one.
00:50:47.160Imagine how much worse it would be if the thing that was stolen was your actual home.
00:50:53.600Here's somebody who used to actually do that.
00:50:56.080Nobody thinks that I can take their house and borrow against the house.
00:50:59.020Oh, no, I have title insurance for that.
00:53:10.480But reason, reason and common sense are not part of the ruling class lingo anymore.
00:53:20.840You know, you mentioned that when I said, what would happen if we, if we didn't pay attention.
00:53:26.000You mentioned fascism actually, which is, I mean, you'll know this, but it's always interesting.
00:53:29.640It's always useful to be reminded that the word comes from, the root is fasci, F-A-S-C-I, I think.
00:53:36.460And it's, it goes all the way back to Rome and it describes, it's a bundle of sticks bound together because a single twig is easily snapped, but a bundle of sticks is almost impossible.
00:53:48.880You can't put that over your knee and break it.
00:53:50.920So that is an, it's a reminder that people singly are vulnerable, but together are indomitable.
00:53:59.900It's important to remember the power of, of people backing one another up.
00:54:04.080As you say, if they get you on your own, you've had it.
00:54:07.260But if people just come together, then they are absolutely indomitable.
00:54:11.100And when I, when I talked about, you know, not paying taxes or, I suggest, you know, imagine if we all just stopped paying our mortgages all at once and our rents, you stop.
00:54:21.340There's not enough jails in the world to put everybody in mortgage jail.
00:54:53.540Whereby every, every 50 years or so, typically, it was on the, it was the seventh, seven times seven, 49, seven Sabbaths after seven Sabbaths.
00:55:29.060And it was, it was canny thinking by the kings because the last thing a king wanted was for any or some of his aristocrats to have amassed so much power in the form of the debt of people beholding to them that they might be able to use those people as an army to overthrow the king.
00:55:44.880And so it was always in the king's interest every 50 years in a kingdom for the king to say, right, they blew, it was a jublo, the horns, a ram's horn was the jublo.
00:56:09.000However, some form of that has to be faced up to because we have been indebted deliberately by, you know, fractional reserve banking and all the rest of the insanity that ensued in the U.S.
00:56:21.420from the from the Fed was created in 1913 when everybody was on holiday for Christmas and they slipped through the ability for these people to, you know, to make money out of nothing and lend and lend and lend and lend and lend everybody into debt.
01:03:24.240I've spoken to him online and offline and whatever.
01:03:28.100He's at the moment, but just before Christmas, the excess deaths, which is to say,
01:03:34.160people dying of things other than COVID, we're running at about two and a half thousand a week.
01:03:42.200At the moment, it's about three thousand excess deaths a week in England.
01:03:48.060The Scottish figures are kept separately by Nicola Sturgeon for our own reasons.
01:03:52.120And I'm not sure of the figures, the latest figures, but it's running at about three thousand a week, I think, in England.
01:04:01.080And a very worrying, I mean, it's a worrying number anyway, but a proportion of those are people who are dying at home.
01:04:07.720You know, they're dying those kind of deaths that people aren't aware of until the milk bottles and the mail starts building up outside the front door.
01:04:17.340And people think, where's where's Janet?
01:05:29.380And now the wave, the great big wave is coming back in and we're starting to see it in the form of these excess deaths.
01:05:36.820So so people are dying of of untreated conditions.
01:05:40.160As you say, mental health was damaged, all sorts of things.
01:05:43.600And then, of course, there's all the unasked.
01:05:45.740The questions you're not supposed to ask.
01:05:47.280And even if you ask them, you don't get answers about the vaccines.
01:05:50.960You know, more and more people are coming forward.
01:05:53.120We know that the vaccines or that I don't even call them vaccines.
01:05:55.840The products sold as vaccines, those medical products, those gene therapies have definitely caused people's deaths and have caused people's long term hurt.
01:06:05.580But, you know, vaccines are not being offered to under 50s in the UK all of a sudden.
01:06:13.260And you say, well, we've been told for two and a half years that they're safe and effective.
01:06:16.760Why can't the why can't the under 50s have them anymore?
01:06:21.840And if they're only safe and only effective and if they've saved millions of lives, can we ask some questions maybe about all these excess deaths?
01:06:31.780We know that we know that people have died and been and been permanently injured on account of the products sold as vaccines.
01:06:38.400That's showing up on coroner's reports.
01:07:05.700And the nature of the censorship and the silencing means that we're not able to have a proper grown up conversation and face up to the fact that thousands of people, more than would have died at this time of year, last year, have died at this time this year.
01:08:23.720This is a time in which we have become unmoored from much of the wisdom that we acquired during the last several hundred, if not several thousand years.
01:08:57.540To me, it's it's it's it's readily summarized by the fact that here in Britain, front rank politicians, including the leader of the opposition party, Keir Starmer of the Labour Party, the leader of the Labour Party, a prime minister in waiting, if you like, can't or won't define what a woman is.
01:09:20.320When asked the question, what is a woman, he obfuscates and dodges the question.
01:09:27.780We have a Supreme Court justice that was asked the same question and and and was asked in an open hearing to to confirm her spot on the Supreme Court.
01:09:44.540Yeah, so that for me is shorthand for the fact that we have become unmoored from reality, sanity and reason.
01:09:54.540Kenneth Clark's a historian, an art critic, really.
01:09:57.380But he made a very a landmark television series in the 70s called Civilization.
01:10:03.120And there's a book that went with it, which I have on my shelf over there.
01:10:06.860And he he speculated about where civilization comes from and where it goes.
01:10:11.240And he said that in essence, civilizations don't collapse because of pressure from without from outside barbarians, whatever they collapse from within.
01:10:24.940You mentioned that idea of people that for whom freedom becomes too onerous, too much of a responsibility.
01:10:31.100There's another wonderful book by Eric Hoffer, True Believer, where he describes how popular mass movements evolve.
01:10:37.720And there's there's always there's always an extent to which people are persuaded that the past is bad.
01:10:47.100The present's pretty lousy and only the future is worth having.
01:10:50.800And that's always an easy argument to make because the future doesn't exist.
01:10:54.000And so nothing's gone wrong with it yet.
01:10:55.800So you sell people in the future and you make them distance themselves from the past.
01:10:59.740But in civilization, Kenneth Clark said that people become exhausted and they get the they have because it was many generations ago that the civilization was established.
01:11:11.900Every succeeding generation takes it for granted a little bit more.
01:11:15.860Until eventually you get people, you get a generation of people who too many of them think that order and the kind of life we have is just in the natural order of things.
01:11:27.000When, of course, you've only got to look out at the wider world to see what the natural order of things actually gives you.
01:11:32.400And it's chaos and it's mob rule and it's violence.
01:11:35.900But too many people get too distanced from the hard work of creating civilization and think that civilization just happens and they become lazy and complacent and they become bored with it.
01:11:45.620Hannah Arendt, when she talked about the banality of evil, she also suggested that people take their present circumstances for granted and they just want something else, anything else.
01:11:56.900I think that's the period that we're moving through.
01:11:59.580And of course, you know, at any point from the future, people will look back and you can always you can always suggest that anacyclosis has a role to play.
01:12:08.280Now, that's a way of looking at the evolution of civilization by Polybius, who was a Greek historian and thinker thousands of years ago.
01:12:17.700He said that you've got a turning wheel, a rotation, a revolution.
01:12:23.180You start with a good king who appears out of chaos and creates peace, like a kind of King Arthur who creates a Camelot and everything's great.
01:12:33.760But then his son didn't have to fight for Camelot.
01:12:37.540So he's not as he doesn't he doesn't he doesn't care as much.
01:12:43.560And around him grows powerful men, aristocrats.
01:12:48.000They eventually overthrow a weak prince and you've got aristocracy rather than monarchy.
01:12:55.340The first band of aristocrats are all right as well.
01:12:59.260They've they've got they've got ideas that degenerates as well.
01:13:02.900They pass the power to their sons and daughters and eventually it degenerates into oligarchy, which is the rule of rich men who are only in power because they're wealthy.
01:13:45.980Out of the out of the mob rule rises a demagogue, a charismatic figure who says, follow me and I'll take you to the the sunlit uplands again.
01:14:33.800You turn up at a bus stop and a bus comes.
01:14:36.120You go to an ATM and you put your card in and money comes out.
01:14:39.480People think that these things just happen.
01:14:41.820But we've now entered into the period where too many, too large a proportion of the population are taking all of that for granted.
01:14:48.140And they think anything would be better than this.
01:14:50.720And the problem we've got is that there are people out there like the WEF, like the WHO, the World Health Organization, like all these transnational corporations, like BlackRock and Vanguard and State Street, who are more than happy to step in and offer people that something else.
01:15:05.840But what the people don't appreciate is that that something else is going to end up being something they really don't like.
01:15:11.240And tragically, I think for too many of them, it will only be when they've got it, when they're in that digital cage made of central bank digital currencies and digital IDs and social credit systems, a la the Chinese Communist Party, that model.
01:15:25.500Only when that gate, that cage door slams shut, click, will people see, how did this happen?
01:16:43.360Well, but, but, but so when I'm in my, when I'm fully charged, when I've stood close enough to her battery to get back up to 65, 70%, I remind myself that plenty of people have learned this as well.
01:16:57.320So, you know, that bit in Lord of the Rings in, when, when, when Frodo is talking to Gandalf, they're in the mines, Moria.
