00:00:00.000The FBI investigated me. Now this was actually back in 2022, in August. I got two emails, one from Meta, so Facebook, one from Google, both saying the same thing, that they had given out information about me to an agency, and the agency was the FBI.
00:00:18.540Now at first I thought, is this some sort of spam? Is it even legit? Then I looked into it, and yeah, turned out to be legit. So then a profound sense of unease hit me. Now by this stage, 2022, I'd been in the game for many years, taken a lot of heat, taken a lot of hits already.
00:00:37.380Now, nothing came out of the investigation, because yeah, of course, I've done nothing wrong. I don't know what the investigation was all about, but even so, it felt quite bad, to be honest.
00:00:48.560Now in terms of an actual outcome, I'd been hit a lot harder before this, so back in 2019, demonetized on YouTube, which I'm still, by the way, shadow banned on YouTube up until quite recently.
00:01:03.480No, I'm not, by the way, so that feels good. Had my Patreon removed in 2022. Had my Instagram account, my first personal one, removed in 2021. That was a big hit.
00:01:15.060Subsequent removals of LegioGloria accounts on Instagram, removal of my Facebook account, those were harder hits in terms of a direct outcome.
00:01:25.280But in terms of a sense of unease, just sheer unpleasant, a sheer unpleasant experience, that was probably top, in the top.
00:01:37.860Now when I think back over all of these years, that was probably one of the most unpleasant sensations, finding out that the FBI had looked into me.
00:01:46.260And also, by the way, since I have declined a few invitations to the U.S. over these last few years, now you know, and you also know why I decline if you want to invite me again.
00:01:57.340Perhaps things are different now, but I'm not sure I want to take any chances by going to the U.S.
00:02:03.180So, yeah, I still remember when it dawned upon me that they were investigating, or they had investigated me, so this must have been in 2021 or something like that.
00:02:13.320Still, I have no idea what it was all about and nothing came out of it.
00:02:17.080But still, I didn't know it back then, so I remember I said to Julia, you know, I'm just going out for a little while.
00:02:22.260I went to a place where I spent a lot of time during my childhood, so I sat there and I reflected upon my path.
00:02:29.920And I said the same thing to myself then, as I say now, that I've only ever gone along the path of honor.
00:02:35.940I'm quite literally an angel and I've done nothing wrong.
00:02:39.060So this is good to remind yourself of when you are, well, I wouldn't say attacked really, but it didn't feel good at all.
00:02:49.440All the same, even though, yeah, it wasn't a direct attack or anything like that.
00:02:53.680But it can be good to have that, you know, spiritual integrity in you that you could always rely on your very essence,
00:03:01.020that you know yourself, that you're a good person and you go along the path of honor, then all will be well.
00:03:07.540Now, at this stage, 2022, I had already been the subject of quite a few hit pieces in the media.
00:03:13.360And the hit pieces, they can come with a sense of unease, but you will also get, you know, new followers
00:03:19.480and a bit more fame and a bit more exposure and everything like that.
