00:00:17.040 2024 and in a triumph of wisdom and experience over youthful exuberance you have me and beau

00:00:23.240 today all right how you doing yes so this should be uh this should be a popular episode with the

00:00:29.980 dazzle and entertain you now uh today we're going to be discussing the um industrial um censorship

00:00:36.120 complex the um the rollout of the digital ids it is finally here yippee and how it is your last

00:01:05.720 lovable presumably so um excellent good news on that um and with that let's get into the uh

00:01:13.620 censorship industrial complex bow okay i want to ask the question as i have done before and

00:01:19.780 no doubt shall do again what is the cost of liars even liars by omission can be a disastrous cost

00:01:30.180 i suppose it depends if you get caught or if you control the entire media and educational landscape

00:01:37.220 yeah so there used to be a monopoly on that sort of thing by the corporate mainstream media what we

00:01:46.020 might now call the legacy media i'm embarrassed for things i used to believe back when you only had

00:01:52.460 one point of view given to you all right yeah you can't really blame the vast majority of people

00:01:56.380 i mean especially if you go back to earlier in the 20th century you just had the radio and it told you

00:02:02.260 one narrative and unless you travel to that place in the world to see it with your own eyeballs

00:02:06.780 you had no way of questioning it really we just don't live in that world anymore and uh the powers that

00:02:13.040 be are not happy with the fact that their monopolies sliding out of their grip um because there are

00:02:21.580 things in the world more valuable than money

00:02:23.480 see the cogs working for a venture capitalist bear with me oh yeah family and all that sort of stuff

00:02:32.720 well yeah right yes yeah well life and time yes but but information knowledge knowledge is power

00:02:40.020 information uh gordon greco said the most valuable commodity is information um and so we are in a

00:02:47.900 sort of an information war aren't we a war for the truth the truth is more valuable than money in my

00:02:53.420 opinion i'd rather have my integrity than than be extraordinarily rich well the truth is powerful for

00:03:02.180 people like us who aren't really benefiting from the current system but you can understand why the

00:03:09.600 people who do benefit from the current system would be very interested in maintaining the narrative or

00:03:14.580 the lie if your job was um like mariana spring if your job was to pretend to be the arbiter of truth

00:03:23.480 yeah pretend to verify what isn't in isn't true i did and even if that led you to peddling

00:03:30.300 misinformation or false information or even outright lies as she did in the case of carl benjamin i hope

00:03:35.540 i'm not ruining your segment here but i don't know if you've put this in your in your links but

00:03:40.340 somebody did do a look at the percentage of lies on her show as opposed to the bbc in general right

00:03:46.620 and she basically has more lies per episode than the than just the normal bbc which is funny

00:03:51.840 considering that she's supposed to be the truth teller yeah odd yeah um i was going to leave it to

00:03:56.760 right to the end to the cherry on top but why not just say it now i mean we know for a fact

00:04:00.120 for a fact she's lied about carl on the very first episode um she said he went to top ness in

00:04:07.660 2019 for his mep campaign and she said that he then returned he didn't that he returned like some

00:04:16.100 sort of pied piper of top ness and converted half the uh half the town or whatever to to radical he

00:04:23.040 radicalized them it's just not true yes i mean if he could do that we would send him there

00:04:27.620 um apparently when he asked her about it on twitter she just blocked him and when he tried

00:04:33.320 to go through the channels on the bbc to launch a complaint they just said no it's true end of story

00:04:37.920 yeah because a green councillor told us but they're they're the arbiters of truth are they

00:04:43.860 they verify for you what is or isn't true or real nonsense nonsense we live in a new age where it's up to

00:04:53.020 individual people to source their own information and make value judgments for themselves about it

00:04:58.840 that's a much more difficult thing it was passive before right you turn on the radio or you turn on

00:05:03.380 the the telly box and you get told something and you accept it that's very very passive that's easy

00:05:09.840 well i'm afraid the information war is more complex than that now

00:05:14.660 um so i'm interested in sort of the nature of of truth and the nature of this conflict we're involved

00:05:22.620 in um i wrote an article uh back in what's this first one 2020 there with me yeah oh there's one

00:05:31.900 from 20 where's the where's the map okay so this first one

00:05:36.820 in 2023 i wrote an article about uh creepy joe's war on truth because it was quite obvious wasn't

00:05:45.280 it that we're uh that they just lied to us in all sorts of different ways um in disgusting ways

00:05:51.300 really perverting history perverting um just just all sorts of stuff um here's an even older one

00:06:00.740 from summer 2021 um we all know we've all lived through it right and i talk about in the past

00:06:08.940 where there's been regimes whether it be the dictatorship of demission or nero or the soviet

00:06:16.020 era or under mal throughout the centuries there's been many many examples of regimes where you're

00:06:21.940 either not allowed to know the truth or you're told a falsehood and and you probably even know it's

00:06:29.700 not true a bit like in 1984 but you have to pretend it's true

00:06:33.860 i think zizek once gave a quite interesting example where he said uh the idea that when a child knows

00:06:43.360 that santa isn't real anymore spoiler alert any children out there santa isn't real anymore the

00:06:48.680 parents know the kid knows and yet they both parties keep up the pretense that santa is real

00:06:54.120 right the idea like in the soviet union you all you know the system doesn't work you know there's

00:06:59.680 the economy has collapsed or is collapsing but yet the state insists you pretend it isn't

00:07:04.240 they know you know it's broken they insist you keep up the pretense everyone knows what's going on

00:07:10.200 and yet there's this edifice of liars i mean i would give a modern example but there are too many to

00:07:14.360 pick from right there are a lot aren't there in recent times particularly and anyway it now seems

00:07:21.200 there is well there is now a censorship industrial complex a giant thing very very well funded largely

00:07:31.000 for america but not exclusively from the united states britain is among the other big players in

00:07:35.760 this whole thing of um lots and lots of money and lots and lots of infrastructure infrastructure

00:07:42.160 around quote-unquote battling misinformation or disinformation when in fact the irony is that

00:07:50.080 they're the peddlers largely of misinformation or disinformation just like bbc verify well and

00:07:54.240 when you say it's big again i don't i don't want to uh i don't well i mean this is such a big topic

00:07:58.400 and i'm i think i can safely say this without jumping on whatever you might have coming next but

00:08:03.720 it really is a massive and industrial complex and um dr parveni looked at this a while back where he

00:08:12.240 tracked it back from basically the entire propaganda apparatus from world war ii was basically taken and

00:08:18.480 immediately deployed at home without skipping a beat and the funding that went into artists who

00:08:27.440 promoted the right kind of message i mean it basically goes far further than you would have

00:08:33.040 thought and quite possibly it goes back significantly further than that as well it's just that you know

00:08:37.900 that was where he picked up the trail from but it's a massive i mean hundreds of billions get thrown

00:08:43.040 at promoting the right people to push the right messages and so on well i mean state propaganda has

00:08:48.520 been around for as long as there's been a state right i mean going back to ancient times i suppose

00:08:53.120 you could say uh but yeah certainly in the post-war world war ii that is i'll talk about all that in a

00:08:58.480 moment but yeah the the big there are the biggest institutions are behind it like the state department

00:09:04.800 and the pentacon and the intelligence services and things uh and funded by the state in all sorts of

00:09:12.960 ways so um uh i mean we're interested in sort of thing we did a bit of uh uh content uh when was it

00:09:21.600 in november last year yeah in november last year you and me had a conversation about the book

00:09:26.400 confessions of an economic hitman that was a good episode that i thought it was i thought it was an

00:09:30.160 excellent conversation anyone uh who hasn't subscribed if you're watching this on lotus on

00:09:34.320 uh youtube go over to lotusseeters.com for as small as five pounds a month you can uh see everything

00:09:40.080 behind the paywall and there's a very interesting conversation there where we talk about this guy's

00:09:43.200 book confessions of an economic hitman largely talking about the 60s and 70s isn't it and into the 80s

00:09:49.840 um about how the american empire because let's call it what it is um it's obviously not the same as an

00:09:57.920 old school 18th 19th century british empire or a medieval or no in any way anyways it's smarter than

00:10:04.160 that well they saw the way the british empire went the american sisters when they be when they became

00:10:11.360 the colossus of the world after world war ii straddled the world like a colossus they realized that if

00:10:16.320 they're going to be the dominant force the hegemon of the world and keep it for any amount of time they

00:10:21.920 can't do it the way the british empire did it they can't do it the way the mongols the romans

00:10:26.400 did it it doesn't work you end up with something like the british raj in india and eventually

00:10:32.400 they'll throw you off and throw you out so there's more than one way to skin a cat though you can do

00:10:37.760 it through money debt you can do it debt you do it through so-called soft power i don't particularly

00:10:43.040 like that term but yeah most people know what's what is meant by it i mean for the viewers the very

00:10:47.360 short version of the book is that yes the the us empire will use its aircraft carriers and beach

00:10:54.880 landings and all the rest of it to get its way if it really wants to but actually most of the work

00:10:59.760 is cleaned up a long time before that with the economic hitman let us i mean let us america or

00:11:09.440 the international monetary fund or the world bank let us loan you an insane amount of money

00:11:15.040 you then spend that money with our companies we'll build infrastructure in your country yes and the

00:11:21.520 net result of all of that is that we essentially control you yeah i mean and if you don't we'll

00:11:27.200 send in uh cia kill teams and if that doesn't work we'll send in the marines and aircraft carriers

00:11:32.240 yeah that's the deal yeah in a nutshell and and and and i mean when we say america we don't mean

00:11:37.120 you know the nice people who listen to this we're talking about you know a small handful of leaks

00:11:41.280 because this money never leaves america it basically goes straight from um the the central bank well the uh

00:11:48.240 the treasury where it's um you know loaned to them by the central bank straight to the big defense

00:11:53.360 contractors it it never leaves it's basically just recycling debt burden on some other country so

00:12:00.960 that money goes straight to the lobbyists of the people who agreed to send the money in the first

00:12:05.120 place and maybe a dam or two or an airfield or two gets built yeah in venezuela or wherever most of

00:12:11.440 which isn't particularly useful and most of which is built i mean all the roads are not built for

00:12:15.920 the convenience of the locals they're built to make sure the resources can be extracted sent

00:12:21.200 to the nearest port and then shipped to the us right so that's a that's a new way of doing empire

00:12:28.480 isn't it yes you don't necessarily have like an actual raj type situation but it's all intents and

00:12:34.880 purposes in this you're very happy for the local elites to get obscenely rich as well yeah so you kind

00:12:41.760 of do have the raj they've got to have a piece yeah but but the the ultimate thing of empire is you

00:12:47.360 still get your tribute right yeah so okay i just that was just a bit of an aside um but yeah what you

00:12:58.000 talked about a moment ago the idea that um that there's foreign intel the the intelligence services to

00:13:05.200 deal with foreign affairs the blowback is turned on america itself so the idea that during the cold war

00:13:15.040 you could use uh media outlets the war of words in the in the eastern block or countries close to the

00:13:23.920 eastern block or any other country that's up for grabs um use media outlets and all sorts of other

00:13:30.960 uh organs to manipulate public opinion and and get what you want ultimately well what about if that

00:13:40.880 was turned on america itself that the intelligence services manipulated media in order to manipulate

00:13:50.640 public opinion for their own ends in america i mean given that they very explicitly and britain and

00:13:56.160 france and germany and italy yeah given that they very explicitly say that this is what they do

00:13:59.920 in order to advance us interests in other countries if they develop that skill set it does

00:14:05.440 seem a bit of a stretch to believe that they would never use it at home in order to advance

00:14:10.160 of interests there as well right i know that's very illegal for them to do but i can't believe they

00:14:15.520 wouldn't do it well the cia for example is is foreign intelligence isn't it it's not supposed to

00:14:21.520 really do anything in the united states or act against us uh citizens unless they say it's counter

00:14:28.960 espionage in which case they do need to work within the united states there's there's they they can do

00:14:36.160 what they want almost right so in the 70s in what 1975 or something um uh senator church had a committee

00:14:46.720 looking into what the cia was doing the church committee and uh he did uncover some bad things that

00:14:56.720 they were doing manipulating all sorts of things and at the time the cia sort of said okay we'll stop

00:15:03.760 we'll stop doing that then now they had an operation mockingbird most people will know that you can

00:15:09.280 there's a wikipedia page you can read about mockingbird it's a matter of record um this was their operations to

00:15:16.400 delve to use the mainstream media to manipulate public opinion um in this article i wrote in summer of last

00:15:25.040 last year i said that we're still living in the shadow of mockingbird because although the cia said

00:15:30.800 they would stop doing it they obviously didn't stop doing it and with the advent of the internet and

00:15:37.120 social media and things they're just they're just elbow deep in that aren't they as well obviously

00:15:44.000 uh one classic example is the hunter biden laptop yeah so i'd actually like to read a bit from my

00:15:52.880 article if that's all right yeah go ahead i just said um remember that time when joe biden told the

00:15:58.880 world hunter's laptop was a russian plant a foreign misinformation stratagem and as if to prove that

00:16:04.160 assertion he reminded us that more than 50 former senior intelligence officials had signed their name

00:16:08.560 to an open letter confirming it as such remember that senior intelligence officials including many of

00:16:13.760 the most powerful and connected spooks the deep state could muster and they are sort of them that

00:16:19.200 there are sort of the most important ones people that have led the cia or their chiefs of staff

00:16:24.560 and and other people names like james clapper um so i say of of course uh we know the laptop was real

00:16:33.440 like giuliani had it independently checked almost straight away it's not it's not well the the other

00:16:38.800 big clue of course is that um hunter biden has just been pied and pardoned for the crimes that were on

00:16:44.160 that laptop which 51 informal intelligence agents told us was made up okay well why has he been

00:16:50.320 pardoned for it then one of the arguments they make is they say that well okay so the information

00:16:57.120 on it might be real or something but it was the the story that this the laptop from hell was peddled

00:17:03.600 by russian sources russian russian media sources therefore if you amplify that you're then in

00:17:09.840 collusion with the russians in some way and you're a threat to democracy that is a very torturous logic

00:17:14.960 yeah yeah yeah well this is what we'll get into the way that that exact argument has been

00:17:20.720 is is is being used now that if you question the mainstream media if you question the legitimacy of

00:17:27.680 new york times or something then you're you're a threat to democracy so yeah um

00:17:39.680 i say for those old enough and savvy enough it will come as no shock whatsoever that the

00:17:43.840 intelligence services and the corporate mainstream media often work in concert against the public

00:17:49.040 that a savage savage and vicious shadow government in direct partnership with particular media outlets

00:17:55.040 in an effort to manipulate the perception of reality for nefarious reasons it is a revealed

00:18:00.560 truth which has been with us since the 1970s and then i talk about uh senator church's uh committee

00:18:07.360 on it and there were others there was the pike committee and the rockefeller commission

00:18:11.360 um all sorts of things they are they uncovered mk ultra among other things operation shamrock and

00:18:16.800 operation mockingbird um and uh and as i say here as you mentioned what aa has said it goes back to

00:18:24.240 the war yeah ever since the oss and the dullest years um and there was a fairly famous most people

00:18:32.000 probably haven't heard of him but if you know about the history of the cia fairly famous cia operative

00:18:36.480 frank wisner who talked about this sort of thing and he talked about the great world it's a world it's

00:18:43.280 just a very old-fashioned word for a jukebox ah okay he talked about the great world it's uh that they

00:18:50.480 the cia the intelligence services the deep state the blob whatever you want to call it they pick the

00:18:55.360 tune right they press the button on the jukebox and everyone else has to dance to that tune right

00:19:02.000 and and they had to come let's say they had a complete monopoly on it back then

00:19:06.160 you know not so much i mean they had a really good run yeah they could yeah they had a good run all right

00:19:11.600 yeah so now is is the world it's coming to a stop or there's just more than one

00:19:18.560 being played at the same time i mentioned that um whether actually a cia front or simply being

00:19:25.840 manipulated and used for various points by the intelligence services the new york times the new

00:19:32.240 york post washington post cbs time magazine newsweek alan dulles used to be able to call up

00:19:38.640 editors certain editors at time magazine or cbs or something and just say i've got this narrative

00:19:44.880 i've got this story get one of your guys it can't come from me it can't it's not it's all hush hush

00:19:50.720 it doesn't come directly from the cia but get one of your guys to write this story with this angle

00:19:55.920 and publish it and they'll just be like yes sir i i suspect it's been formalized to the point where

00:20:01.760 a whole bunch of journalists within these organizations have a sort of direct contact

00:20:06.800 at the intelligence agencies and it's perhaps why whenever news breaks on a sort of geopolitical

00:20:13.760 bent over the weekend nowadays you mean yeah nowadays yeah nowadays when it stopped yeah when news breaks

00:20:20.400 over the weekend um the news anchors don't know what to do with it until monday morning when their um

00:20:27.120 government um three letter agency contact comes back to their desk and gives them the line to take

00:20:33.280 well we know for a fact there's a liaison between the fbi and facebook for example

00:20:37.840 yes don't we or when uh elon's twitter papers yeah the twitter files yeah twitter files

00:20:42.800 yeah yeah and yeah and there's that thing where you get um all the different mainstream media outlets

00:20:48.960 saying the exact same thing in fact i say here ever wondered how it is possible for so many news

00:20:52.640 outlets with completely different owners and editorial teams to wind up spewing the exact

00:20:57.520 same message you know like the walls are closing in on trump closing in on trump the walls are closing

00:21:02.160 in on you get you get those compilations where they overlay like 50 of them at once the exact same

00:21:06.320 thing yeah yeah yeah how is that possible how did so many of the mainstream media just all decide that

00:21:14.160 oh yeah the hunter laptop thing is real and anyone questioning it is a is a is a russian plant

00:21:20.160 and uh oh look here's all these intelligence guys saying it so it must be true almost like there's

00:21:24.720 a puppet master somewhere well there was a very interesting podcast i thought about a week ago

00:21:34.800 joe rogan with mike benz three hour one very very very interesting one of the more interesting joe

00:21:40.800 rogan podcasts i've seen in a long time and um he used to work at the state department and he said he

00:21:46.160 wrote a few speeches for trump i almost got him on brokonomics but he because he was in london for

00:21:50.960 a while but scheduling didn't allow it in the end i'd like to have a conversation with him yeah be

00:21:55.920 fascinating um yeah absolutely um he put a bit more meat on the bones because my article sort of

00:22:02.880 stops talking about the old sss stuff and mockingbird and then just saying it's still happening today

00:22:09.760 and then i sort of leave it there it wasn't a particularly long article but he puts a lot more

00:22:13.280 meat on the bones of what's going on these days um and it is sort of extremely worrying

00:22:22.560 the idea that in the early days of the ukraine stuff 2014 that yeah they were just doing the same

00:22:30.160 old thing the intelligence services i'm manipulating okay public public uh public uh perception in ukraine

00:22:40.320 for ukrainians but then when the trump thing happened in 2016 it flipped over to we use it

00:22:47.920 internally in america to stop trump yes he's got this great bit on the convoluted logic that they

00:22:54.960 used in their own minds to justify it even it's blatantly illegal it's blatantly against it's obvious

00:23:02.480 that they should not be doing this they managed to twist it so that their definition of democracy

00:23:07.040 basically became what they and their friends think well yeah it's the idea that um any threat to their

00:23:14.480 institutions or their assets yes whether that be the actual building at langley or the zelensky

00:23:24.400 government whatever it is anything that's a threat to those things then um that's a threat to democracy

00:23:31.440 i think i think the logic was something like that all of these organizations these deep state

00:23:36.640 organizations exist as a result of having been put there by previous democratic mandates

00:23:42.960 so it's a it's a well of democracy bound up in them like carbon in a bloody oak tree or something

00:23:50.960 that means that it's more democratic than things like elections that was something like the logic yeah

00:23:57.360 yeah yeah well um mike ben's was saying that their their rationale for it their reasoning their

00:24:03.200 argument goes that democracy isn't really the will of the people at the ballot box it's the institutions

00:24:09.520 of the state that yes that was it yeah that and obviously that's nonsense right um uh but yeah so

00:24:16.480 uh news media big science universities government itself anything that threatens those things

00:24:23.360 that's a quote-unquote threat to democracy populism itself you can't be allowed to vote for the wrong

00:24:30.880 person you can't vote in favor of a brexit or a frexit yeah you can't vote you shouldn't be able to vote

00:24:38.880 for trump because he's a quote-unquote threat to democracy um so anyway can we play uh samson if you

00:24:46.560 teed it up to the timestamp bit i said it looks like you have um if you just if we watch just two or

00:24:52.880 three four minutes of this i think it's one of the most interesting bits especially with your nose

00:24:58.000 open no that's that's fantastic so so a few things as background arizona state university its current

00:25:04.080 president um michael crowe was is is now and was since the day it was born in 1999 the chairman of

00:25:12.160 incutel incutel is the cia's venture capital arm this is literally the cia's proprietary investments

00:25:19.600 in early stage technology companies and the arizona state university its president is the

00:25:25.120 chairman of incutel and has been for 25 years arizona state university has these very deep

00:25:30.560 partnerships with john mccain who was the senator from arizona john mccain who ran for president against

00:25:36.480 barack obama in 2008 was the before he ran for president in 2008 for 25 years he was the founder

00:25:44.240 and the president of the iri the cia wing of the republican party again the iri is that is the gop

00:25:51.760 side of the of the national endowment for democracy that's effectively self-declared cia cutout

00:25:57.680 and in fact arizona state university has a john mccain center on disinformation that that uh that works

00:26:04.240 in tandem with this one but i just wanted to show that you'll see this is technically it's arizona state

00:26:08.480 university but you'll see that it is an intelligence program so if you if you scroll up for a second

00:26:12.720 you'll see you'll see at the bottom right this is a program at arizona state university

00:26:18.560 that is an intelligence program its job is to assist the intelligence community with this

00:26:23.920 with this work and you'll if you scroll down and you can scroll down from here you'll see the

00:26:28.480 different branches and then click on the one narrative disinformation strategic influence

00:26:32.480 now this this program gets one has a 1.6 million dollar grant from the pentagon to do censorship work

00:26:40.880 it has 300 000 in grants from the state department it's got another almost 500 000 worth of additional

00:26:47.840 government grants from adjacent uh adjacent u.s government diplomatic statecraft intelligence

00:26:53.840 folks so so this is this is a multi-million dollar sent a censorship center currently still up and running

00:27:02.400 at arizona state university funded by us now if you click on why is disinformation dangerous i want to

00:27:07.680 show you something real quick because this language is everywhere this is stock standard language why do

00:27:13.600 we have this set up disinformation sows confusion and distrust diminishing people's faith and confidence

00:27:20.800 in the institutions that are critical to a functioning healthy democracy such as government news media and

00:27:26.800 science i'm going to pause right there the dirty tricks that this is laden with is what allows them to get

00:27:34.640 away with this so note that they are saying that they have set up this apparatus and we can get it i can

00:27:43.040 show you the different projects they're involved with on the censorship side but the the issue they're saying

00:27:48.720 is not that something's wrong but that people's the the simple act of diminishing public faith and confidence

00:27:58.880 in the news media government and science is an attack on democracy this is the identical language

00:28:07.280 that there you go it goes it's a brilliant it's a really very very interesting podcast uh slightly

00:28:12.960 interesting that he talks about everything from james angleton to barisma but doesn't mention israel once

00:28:18.800 but nonetheless um it's very very very interesting lots and lots of very very interesting stuff there

00:28:24.960 um and yeah he talks a fair bit about um the atlantic council there you go it's organizes organizations

00:28:35.760 like this which most people haven't really heard of but in fact pull all sorts of leave levers all over

00:28:41.360 the world um ned another very very important oh national endowment for democracy yeah very very very

00:28:55.120 important yeah apparently they get more funding than the cia these people really yeah yeah silly amounts

00:29:02.000 of money um there you go there's again it's all a matter of record not making any of this up it's all

00:29:07.600 there all there in black and white in cutel yeah match made in hell so i mean presumably they're

00:29:12.720 one of the color of revolutions yeah it's exactly the sort of thing they do yeah exactly and then

00:29:17.760 it's just been turned on to america and so now and so now we live in a world the irony of it the

00:29:24.320 misinformation and disinformation projects are the ones that are actually peddling the most pernicious

00:29:31.200 and nefarious misinformation and disinformation and lies by omission and censorship and the whole nine yards

00:29:38.160 net result of it is we end up with something like bbc verifier and mariana spring obviously

00:29:44.720 just a shill telling us what is and isn't true even though you immediately know from podcast one

00:29:51.520 that they're lying yes i've got i've got no integrity whatsoever

00:29:58.320 uh but but but she knows she's the arbiter of truth for you she knows what she is

00:30:03.520 there you go she'll tell you what is or isn't real okay so trump's so just uh hopefully that was

00:30:13.200 interesting for people whether trump will be able to dismantle so that was one of the one of the things

00:30:17.600 that joe and mayak also talked about whether trump's gonna because hopefully if trump says he's gonna

00:30:22.800 do what he says try and dismantle a lot of this or as much as of this as possible um obviously cut

00:30:30.160 their funding is the first thing and try and dismantle this because it's relatively i mean

00:30:36.480 in one sense it's been around since forever in other sense it's mainly been around since world war ii

00:30:41.600 but in a big way it's only been around since 2014 2016 a lot of that most recent edifice of it

00:30:49.200 isn't that old and maybe it's possible to sweep it away and go back to like because if you try and

00:30:54.560 cut the funding for the cia i mean there'll be all sorts of hoo-ha about that and people have an image

00:30:58.960 of it because it's in the movies all the time but if you just cut the funding to the national endowment

00:31:02.560 for democracy who's who's gonna who's gonna want to die on that hill or just like a break up um uh the

00:31:10.880 atlantic council yeah just say oh well no that that's that's a subversive thing it's not in the

00:31:17.280 interests of the interest of these united states to to let that exist anymore that is an interesting

00:31:23.200 point because so much of the iceberg is below water at this point that you could get there's

00:31:27.040 a lot of it you could go after without actually causing that much waves well jimmy carter uh just

00:31:32.720 fired like a third of the cia in one day once you know that based yeah so um and they didn't shoot

00:31:40.400 him in the head in public in texas did they no he didn't get reelected though but yeah yeah they still

00:31:46.320 tried to undermine him at every possible turn yeah but there you go i hope uh i think it is

00:31:51.040 very very interesting the the uh censorship industrial complex that we now live with

00:31:56.880 and whether it will be able to be confronted properly and ultimately defeated uh we shall see

00:32:03.360 time will tell right so let's talk about the rollout of the uk digital id which is now starting

00:32:10.640 in britain but before i do that i think i might quickly um just refer to my bible yes i think i

00:32:18.400 might go revelations chapter 13 uh verses 16 and 17 which go they forced everyone to receive the mark

00:32:26.320 on the hand people great or small rich or poor had to receive the mark they could not buy or sell

00:32:33.120 anything unless they had the mark the mark is the name of the beast and the number is his name

00:32:38.080 now you have to remember that that god was dictating this to to john in the year 95 bc so

00:32:46.560 everything that everything that god said back then might not have gotten written down um entirely

00:32:53.200 accurately i'm sure god meant to say um you will have a mark on your handheld device rather than your

00:32:58.880 hand as i imagine you uh speaking from the king james translation so it was also in the age of king

00:33:05.360 james the early 17th century who's translated into english for us yes from the word of god maybe

00:33:10.880 maybe in the ancient hebrew he does say you'll be forced to have a mark on your handheld device

00:33:14.720 i'm not sure but um but yeah so so um god who's he's obviously quite a smart chap has been warning

00:33:20.640 us about this for for over 2 000 years and uh in the year of our lord 2024 uh it it has arrived so um this

00:33:29.360 article um from the sunday times um yes so basically they're gonna their their excuse here

00:33:37.040 is that digital id is going to be rolled out for pubs and clubs um let me just pick out a few choice

00:33:43.840 bits from the article uh pubgoers will be able to use their smartphone to prove their age as part of

00:33:49.040 plans uh introduced by the government for digital ids ministers are preparing the change of law for

00:33:55.120 customers to buy alcohol in shops and bars as they embrace the technical revolution uh moving the

00:34:00.960 state to more online functionality people will be able to use this for everything from paying taxes to

00:34:06.960 opening a bank account all right or being denied those things well yes um i think the bank account

00:34:14.080 part is is is particularly uh key for for my story here officials insist that digital verification

00:34:20.800 will not be compulsory people will still have a choice uh yes for now i'm sure yeah yes yes for

00:34:26.320 now so okay so we got that so so the uh reason we need digital ids is because otherwise people

00:34:32.720 who are 17 might buy some alcohol and and that's why they've spent all the billions of dollars on uh

00:34:39.040 billions of pounds on putting together digital ids okay so that's even though we already have

00:34:43.840 a number of versions of non-digital id like a passport or a driver's license or whatever

00:34:49.920 uh well you see your thing is you're you're you're raising a different issue there but it's all

00:34:55.040 right they've got extra excuses so um let's look at uh what they have to say on this um cheery cartoon

00:35:02.480 illustrated uh video with with music in the background from the government on why we need them

00:35:09.360 it can be particularly difficult for people who don't have passports or driving licenses or have

00:35:13.280 incomplete credit histories so it's the job of digital government to join things up and make life

00:35:17.680 easier for users our vision is to remove unnecessary complexity by developing one inclusive and

00:35:23.280 accessible way for people to log in to all government services online an easy way to prove

00:35:27.920 their identity just once that also gives them control over who has access to their data

00:35:32.560 and why we want so there you go oh it's for us it's in aid of us it's to make things easier

00:35:38.160 yeah you see but what happens is the elite the elites they wake up every morning just drenched in

00:35:43.680 in a cold sweat worried that our lives are slightly inconvenient because we might have to enter a

00:35:49.920 password twice if we're if we're going to different websites and they're desperately concerned about

00:35:54.640 that and they want to make our lives so much more convenient but they've gone to the trouble of

00:35:58.800 creating digital ids so that we don't have to be inconvenienced well thank you sir tony yes and

00:36:05.840 and also to make 17 make sure 17 yards don't buy a beer so anyway uh that's the excuse um i'm sure

00:36:13.280 that i'm sure that's the oh no actually here look we've got it we've got another excuse here this

00:36:17.840 is this is this is why tony blair used to think we needed them to remove unnecessary barriers not

00:36:23.440 essential safeguards we've got that we've got that much more easily protected so you can deal with a lot

00:36:29.920 of the privacy and surveillance issues that worry people but it's a it's a natural evolution of the way

00:36:35.360 that we're going to use technology in any event to transact daily life and this covert crisis gives

00:36:40.320 an additional reason for doing that because look i could be wrong about this but when i look at for

00:36:44.240 example how you restart some businesses how you restart international travel i think people's disease

00:36:50.240 status for example have they been tested what is the result of that test and have they had the disease

00:36:55.040 do they have the disease i think unless you're able to record some of this data in a way that people

00:36:59.520 can use it's going to be difficult to go back to anything like a a near normal in things like

00:37:05.920 like like transport oh right okay dirty lying son of a bitch filth what filth well you don't accept

00:37:16.080 that argument that the reason that the third reason that we need digital ids is so that you can prove that

00:37:21.120 you haven't got a disease that is a so asymptomatic that you wouldn't know if you didn't have

00:37:27.760 yeah how on earth would the world go round how did how did it work before we had things like uh

00:37:36.240 digital ids and things how how did anything ever work he used i've wrote an article about this before

00:37:42.080 that he used blair used this line of argument all the time that look it's just going to happen yes

00:37:48.080 it is inevitable this is the future we cannot question that that is unquestionable so let's just

00:37:54.080 do it let's just go with it he always uses that argument yes always yes the millennium dome is

00:38:00.400 going to be built so just get behind it we are going to have to slaughter all our cattle so let's

00:38:05.200 just do it you are going to be locked in your homes um until you accept my my because of course he he's

00:38:11.280 wanted id for a very long time it's one of his babies do you remember back in 2000 he tried to get

00:38:16.240 the id cards and back then it was directed because people was like well what's the point i mean what why

00:38:21.200 are you are you prepared to arrest old ladies who go to the shops and forget their id card no well

00:38:26.480 it's just gonna it's just gonna be a pointless duplication of what we've already got then so

00:38:31.040 what's the point so so it was it was a very rare l for tony blair he's like one the one well there's

00:38:39.200 not many things he didn't get pushed through because he's such a skillful politician but he got basically

00:38:43.600 everything apart from id and that one loss has haunted him all these years so during covid the logic was

00:38:50.320 was whatever i tried to explain something something like you wouldn't know if you've got this illness

00:38:55.840 because it's asymptomatic so the only way that you can know is if you've got a digital id or something

00:39:00.880 like that anyway he's changed his tune now he's now saying that the reason you need digital ids

00:39:07.920 is because uh you can deport illegal immigrants with them yes that's the logic because apparently

00:39:14.880 nobody has ever deported anyone in the past before we had digital ids doesn't help them stopping them

00:39:20.960 from coming in in the first place though well and presumably it wouldn't help us then immediately

00:39:25.440 putting them on a bus and taking them to a four-star hotel but for some reason if there's a digital id

00:39:31.360 in place then we'd be able to deport them whereas now we can't it's just nonsense yes obvious nonsense

00:39:39.280 but the thing is right people are going to fall for that line of logic because he because what he

00:39:45.040 does is he crafts his argument to whatever the issue of the day is and he has noticed that people

00:39:50.640 are a little bit miffed about the millions and millions of immigrations being rammed down our

00:39:54.880 throat and there are people who will hear that and and go with in fact i put i put a tweet up about

00:40:00.640 that news that they're rolling they're finally beginning the rollout of the digital ids and the first

00:40:05.440 comment back was somebody who said to me uh how did he put it he said um yeah this is long overdue

00:40:14.240 and necessary id cards mean we can start deporting illegal aliens i mean yeah but there are my point

00:40:24.880 is there are people who will swallow this anyway so that's uh that's a couple well what are we up to

00:40:29.280 now three excuses or no that was four excuses from the uk as to why we need them um let's look

00:40:35.200 at what uh the excuses are in australia next next video please

00:40:41.680 australians are happy to tap and go now the government wants them to tap and show what we

00:40:46.320 want to do is make life easier allow your credentials to be at your fingertips and keep your personal

00:40:49.440 information safer a digital id called text it'll make life easier right the need to hand over passports

00:40:55.040 drivers licenses birth certificates for companies to store and too often lose to hackers the optus

00:41:00.400 incident one of the first and a large scale showed why we have to do things differently the information

00:41:04.160 will be heavily encrypted so no sensitive data is shared or stored using a qr code and a simple tap

00:41:09.840 to verify id for hotel bookings hiring cars signing up for phones and more this is real right okay so

00:41:16.080 it's so that you can hire a car and book a hotel room more conveniently and also because your data will

00:41:23.520 be safe because they're going to heavily encrypt it and no one will have access to it with the exception

00:41:28.560 of the entirety of government who are holding all of that data with the exception of the people that

00:41:32.720 do have access to yes which is like the government which are the people that i'm most worried about

00:41:40.960 so anyway it's so obvious it's so obvious what's going on though right it's not yes it's not that we're

00:41:46.080 particularly cynical or conspiracy theorist or anything it's obvious that it's uh it's to do with power

00:41:54.080 well i've got some more excuses let's just play this in the background um for for for those who

00:41:59.040 are watching uh you'll miss if you're listening it's it's this this is the european version of why

00:42:04.240 and and they wheel out a whole bunch of excuses using people of dubious um european ancestry uh to

00:42:11.280 make their point it's easier it's for you it's in aid of you you'll be able to do things online

00:42:16.160 easier but but they've got some they've got some nice graphics and a big eu flag so um you know

00:42:20.960 apparently that's the next selection of reasons as to why we um obviously need the thing you've got

00:42:27.680 to bear in mind with digital ids is they are massively central centralized the government gets

00:42:34.000 to decide what is or isn't truth and of course they can they can make changes to that at any time

00:42:39.680 they wish um with just a click of a button you know if they decide that you're no longer a british

00:42:45.040 citizen as you're flying back from the airport you know they they could make that change if they

00:42:48.640 want to make any other change um you know we've decided now that you don't own that house anymore

00:42:54.000 we just um yeah well look how the ccp use their their power yes it's like we're going to decide

00:43:01.760 basically what your credit rating is based on your actual day-to-day almost minute-to-minute behavior

00:43:07.120 yes and then you may or may not be able to get a mortgage or something on the back of that well i mean

00:43:13.520 they they will give total control yeah total control i mean you know they're saying is optional

00:43:18.800 of course it won't be for very long before long it'll be required to vote or you know access the

00:43:23.120 internet and all of those things um but i thought let's dig a little bit deeper into into into who is

00:43:29.120 requiring this now best i can tell it all kind of stems from the un um so the un have these uh what

00:43:35.920 what do they call them sustainable development um goals or sdgc's but they want every country to hit

00:43:43.200 by can you guess when 2030 2030 there's a whole bunch of things that every country in the world

00:43:49.760 because of course everyone's a member of the un um has to achieve and one of them quite prominently

00:43:54.960 actually is is digital ids so um go and have a look through the presentation if you want to dig into

00:44:01.520 the details of that don't have the time time here um the world economic forum um they are um

00:44:07.920 you know 100 behind this as well um and as klaus swab says um that they will require individuals to

00:44:14.880 be able to assert their identity in order to participate in the economy oh but the world

00:44:20.800 economic forum is just a collection of like-minded businessmen yes why are you being so paranoid dan

00:44:25.760 well they're just they're allowed to get together and talk about things and they haven't got any real power

00:44:30.160 well it's not just them you see i mean i i picked them most people have heard of them but um

00:44:36.160 there's plenty more organizations as well the bill and melinda gates foundation is all over this as

00:44:40.800 well um goodens that they are um and actually what i really want to focus on are the ones that i

00:44:48.480 mentioned next because i'm pretty sure this is where it's really all coming from um international

00:44:53.840 monetary fund the imf um the bank for international settlements bis yeah i know all about them and the

00:45:02.560 financial actions task force or fat f now a lot of people think that klaus swab is at the top of the

00:45:09.520 globalist order klaus swab is not at the top of the globalist order he is he i mean he's up there

00:45:15.280 you know he he's a high-ranking uh people that are listen to him and know him yeah yes but the i'm

00:45:22.720 telling you the final bosses of globalism are the ones that i've just mentioned it's the imf

00:45:27.920 it's the bis and it's fat f those those are the real top um top dogs of the whole globalist regime

00:45:35.840 um now uh say something super quick about the bank of international said yeah go ahead yeah a lot of

00:45:40.720 people will have heard of the international monetary fund or the world bank but even people that know a

00:45:46.240 bit about that usually haven't heard of uh bis yeah it's in uh it's in switzerland isn't it in um

00:45:53.440 sounds right yeah and um and they are if anything above yes the the international money fund and the

00:46:02.000 world bank if anything they're the big boss yeah that is that they are the final boss sort of in fact

00:46:06.960 let's let's hear from the head of the bis himself as to what their motivation might be

00:46:12.640 um well for those of you who were danger mouse fans back in the day i apologize if this given

00:46:18.800 you gives you baron silas flashbacks but um here we go let's hear from this guy god

00:46:26.080 for example in cash we don't know for example who's using a 100 dollar bill today we don't know

00:46:32.880 who is using the 1 000 peso bill today a key difference in with the cbdc is that central bank will have

00:46:42.640 absolute control on the rules and regulations that will determine the use of that expression

00:46:50.240 of central bank liability and also we will have the technology to enforce that now there you go

00:46:58.240 absolute control on the ability and the ability to enforce it there you go there it is yeah right

00:47:03.680 that's what we're talking about here absolutely not the ability for 17 year old not to buy a beer

00:47:08.960 or helping strengthen our borders know that so the money men will have quote absolute control

00:47:15.040 and the ability to enforce yes that's what it is and i've thrown in a couple of links there but if

00:47:19.680 you damn them if you just start looking at um the imf fat f and bis they've got dozens of blog posts

00:47:27.760 because they know that nobody reads them nobody pays attention to well apart from people like me

00:47:32.240 but nobody pays attention to them and they they just openly say that we want a central bank digital

00:47:38.160 currency the reason we want it is because it will give us absolute control over the money but we can't

00:47:43.680 have it until there are digital ids so they lean on the people beneath them the wefs and the unns and

00:47:49.920 all the rest of it and say we need digital ids rolled out i don't care how you get it done i don't

00:47:55.040 care what excuse you have to give you get digital ids done and then we can start rolling out our central

00:48:01.200 bank digital currencies and that will give us absolute control they they they they just don't

00:48:05.920 like they they come out and they just say it all the time they get their their shill whores to do it

00:48:11.920 like tone yeah yeah exactly exactly um yeah and it's all about basically maintaining the status quo of

00:48:19.040 the current financial system because they can see it's all slipping away from them

00:48:23.120 so i mean the voluntary adoption of these things has been awful mckinsey's did a study because i mean it's

00:48:29.760 been it's been rolled out in a whole bunch of countries digital ids like kenya and a whole

00:48:33.280 bunch of other ones i think there's been about 10 of them now um about four to ten percent of the

00:48:38.960 people went off of these did like digital ids take them so it's going to be like smart meters all over

00:48:44.720 again um you know a few people will have them just because of the novelty of it and the rest of them

00:48:49.680 you'll have to cajole and eventually start threatening until they they adopt it um we'll come round to your

00:48:56.240 house yes we'll put you under house arrest until you do it yes quite quite now people who think

00:49:05.040 that i'm being a little bit overblown about the whole this will lead to a social credit system

00:49:09.040 and total control um i'd just like to point out that not only does china have a social credit system

00:49:14.960 today but we've actually already had one in this country we had it very briefly and we had it very

00:49:20.320 half-heartedly but do you remember at the end of covid boris johnson was like okay now you need

00:49:25.200 a digital thing to be able to go to a nightclub and they they tried to roll it out with nightclubs

00:49:31.680 because they thought that will give them the least pushback and there was almighty pushback then

00:49:36.720 and it was just a bit half-hearted and they never kind of they just kind of backed off a vaccine

00:49:41.200 passport a vaccine passport yeah they they made the changes that you know you had to use it to get

00:49:46.000 into a nightclub and that was that was going to be their starting point and if there wasn't the

00:49:49.680 pushback at the time the course it would have been nightclubs today and then it would have been

00:49:54.640 you know then it would have been the pub and then the train well that's the thing there was one

00:49:58.400 christmas i was traveling back and forth between wiltshire and essex and there was one christmas

00:50:03.200 where they were saying boris came on tv saying you're not going to be able to get on a train without

00:50:08.160 it yeah and i am not vaccinated i haven't ever been vaccinated so obviously you don't have a vaccine

00:50:11.760 passport believing that i've been vaccinated and i was like oh how am i going to travel to wiltshire

00:50:16.960 and back and so i started to sort of change things around started to make plans in case that happened

00:50:21.680 and then literally one day they just said oh we're not doing that anymore yeah they backed off i think

00:50:26.560 in france maybe in germany as well but i think in france they did it in canada they did it you

00:50:30.720 couldn't get on a train without a vaccine in canada they did it yeah they shut down they shut down

00:50:34.320 basically your ability to travel if you didn't have a vaccine passport so we've all we've already had this

00:50:39.200 um it's simply a question of coming back and once you've got a digital id it's very easy for them

00:50:45.200 to start toggling adding flags and toggling them on and off like flag yeah vaccinated run vaccinated

00:50:51.760 ability to purchase train tickets or not um you know ability to do this ability to go here and

00:50:57.520 do that and that kind of stuff and especially if you can combine it with the cbdc you don't even need

00:51:02.880 to worry about people protesting because okay oh there's going to be a big protest in london okay right

00:51:07.920 what we're going to do is we're going to check the digital ids of everybody who who doesn't live

00:51:11.520 in london and we're going to turn off the ability to buy a train ticket or parking if they drive in

00:51:16.720 they've got a digital file on you yeah saying you're the type of person likely to cause a

00:51:22.320 we think you're the type of person likely to cause a disturbance yeah therefore your money is switched

00:51:27.120 off your money switched today or whatever or forever or whatever yeah or uh we don't we we think

00:51:32.080 from everything we look at every your your digital footprint we can see everything you click on yes

00:51:36.640 we're gchq we're the nsa we can see everything you click on and we don't like you yeah so we're

00:51:42.880 just going to turn the volume down on your whole life yeah we're just going to make you silent and

00:51:47.920 dark well this is the other and eventually probably not even able to vote and it just won't count your

00:51:52.320 vote or whatever another another comment that i got from somebody um who is a sensible chap i don't

00:51:58.240 think it thought this through as much he was saying well i'm not that worried about digital ids

00:52:02.320 it's central bank digital currencies when i start to get worried the the reason i think that's wrong

00:52:06.480 is no we have to push back here we have to reject this emphatically now the reason is is i don't

00:52:11.840 think they're going to allow a proper big financial crisis the next one until they have central bank

00:52:16.560 digital currencies because that will be the moment they can roll them out because they're not just

00:52:21.120 going to go oh here's a central bank digital currency and you have to use this because it gives us

00:52:24.640 absolute control it will be introduced as something like um step one it will be if your business you

00:52:32.000 have to pay your taxes in this so all the businesses will just go along and do it and they won't they

00:52:37.120 won't bother the individual citizen at that point and then conveniently there'll be a nice big financial

00:52:43.120 crisis and they come along and say oh would you like a stimulus payment yeah we're going to print a

00:52:47.920 whole load of money we're going to give most of it to ourselves of course but we're going to give

00:52:50.640 some of it to you so here's a few grand uh but we need to make sure that it's uh secure and convenient

00:52:58.080 and uh the data's safe and all that kind of stuff so you can only your safety yeah so you can only

00:53:04.480 access this if you sign up for a central bank digital currency account and how many people are not going

00:53:09.600 to then go oh yeah i'm not going to get my two five ten grand whatever it is everybody's going to

00:53:15.440 sign up for a central bank digital currency then and then we're going to come out the other side

00:53:18.720 and it's coming oh look everybody's already got a cbdc wallet tied to their digital id oh yeah we're

00:53:26.000 just we're just going to phase out cash now and and traditional bank accounts and then they've got us

00:53:31.600 end of freedom at that point there's not a damn thing we can do at that point

00:53:36.000 and it's coming and people and people are not people are not alarmed enough about how bad this is

00:53:41.680 going to get for them um well they've still got i am a celebrity haven't they they've still got yeah

00:53:46.480 oh the masses will go for it they've still got very very expensive beer so yeah yeah the master

00:53:52.800 still order papa johns the masses will go for um the only other thing i would say is um i do actually

00:53:58.960 think there is a case for having a form of digital id in this digital world but it cannot be a government

00:54:05.920 issued one i don't even want it to be a big tech issued one now i wanted to very briefly mention people

00:54:11.360 go away and look into this if they want to but there are things called zero knowledge proofs

00:54:15.600 which is basically a blockchain alternative to a digital id and essentially you can hash information

00:54:22.800 to the blockchain and it can then be verified as true and you can basically verify whether

00:54:28.640 a statement is true or not without revealing the underlying data so so the way the way to think

00:54:34.480 about this is at the moment let's say you're trying to get into a nightclub and you're a 19 year

00:54:37.760 old girl you need to show the bouncer your driving license with your address on it in order to get in

00:54:42.480 or not you know with with a zero knowledge proof you'll be the one adding information to the hashes

00:54:49.040 um you might want to get some of them verified by an official source like you know i own this

00:54:53.680 house and therefore the land registry adds their digital signature it but you can basically have your

00:54:58.400 pot of knowledge and then the bouncer can just ask were you born on or before a certain date and

00:55:04.560 it will be able to give a verified or not zero knowledge proofs are the way to go

00:55:11.520 and it gives all of the benefits that they claim that they are doing a digital id for but it gives

00:55:18.800 them none of the control it gives us total control so zero knowledge proofs are the way to go we don't

00:55:24.160 need digital ids and actually um they need digital ids because they want to enslave us and they will if they

00:55:31.440 can get away with it if we don't push back now and reject this shit look at that uh bis chief what

00:55:37.520 a disgusting you remember baron silas yeah of course yeah yeah it's him isn't it yeah he does look like

00:55:43.360 him yeah yeah control on a toad yeah they mean they mean to enslave us 100 absolutely 100 yeah all right

00:55:56.800 do you want to read some of the oh we've got comments oh yeah oh look at that right okay um

00:56:06.560 remember the time uh magazine article a few years ago when they talked about having fortified the 2020

00:56:11.760 election yes indeed yeah quite um um oh i should have said that was that was dragon lady chris uh peter j harvey

00:56:20.800 says so if the government wants to use smartphones for digital ids will they also be providing said

00:56:26.320 smartphones to the people that don't want or have one um yeah presumably not um annexio says even if

00:56:35.440 the government was was not being evil there were two massive breaches in the nhs last week what makes

00:56:40.720 people think they want the central gun would be any safer they're incompetent evil or stupid all three

00:56:45.440 yes quite binary server good chap um even if benevolent pull the other one i'll give it about

00:56:50.480 six months before a massive data breach will basically release the entire uk's information

00:56:55.200 yeah uk averages three serious data breaches per month yep quite um oh and then the binary surfer again

00:57:01.440 says um dan is correct they are trying everything to avoid another economic crash um re zero knowledge

00:57:08.400 proofs they are very promising but likely to get compromised by intelligence services within days

00:57:13.280 i suppose it depends on the strength of the network really doesn't it but um but yeah i think it's

00:57:18.000 worth exploring anyway right syrians okay so we know there's been a regime collapse in syria

00:57:29.360 and uh a new a new group have come in haven't they are they don't worry about too much who they are

00:57:34.960 and what they really think and believe don't worry are they all for you know pride and sending women to

00:57:41.680 school and being nice to christians are they are they it doesn't matter just a sad bad and he's gone

00:57:46.960 all right okay so that's that's good that's all that really matters um however we do know that uh a

00:57:54.000 load of jihadis went over there to fight yes on both sides actually and uh we don't want them back so

00:58:02.480 a lot of countries have sort of uh stopped their asylum applications frozen their borders to returning

00:58:08.880 syrian jihadis well we've actually stopped an immigrant for once so oh it is possible to

00:58:16.320 police your borders to some extent oh oh when they do want to do that they can that's remarkable

00:58:24.480 so finland finland announces its freeze on all syrian asylum applications because you don't want any of

00:58:30.800 those pro-assad jihadis coming back don't worry about the plethora of other stripes of jihadi from

00:58:39.280 all over the world but pro-assad ones can't have those in finland or in switzerland switzerland's

00:58:46.160 switzerland's done the same what what a terrible image look at that beautiful swiss town and a bunch of

00:58:54.240 syrians god knows who god knows who uh austria austria have decided that they've had enough

00:59:03.360 of these types of people flooding their country can you imagine the the mason who who had just spent

00:59:09.520 30 years working on that monument behind him and then he steps back and looks at it and thinks this

00:59:16.160 is good if you could show him that this photo and say yeah um you know a thousand years later this is

00:59:22.560 what this area is going to look like just syrians everywhere gasp syrians italy it's funny how they

00:59:32.080 all act in units i often think on the international stage it is a bit like in a playground where one

00:59:38.240 kid does something or says something yeah none of the others have got basically have got the balls to

00:59:43.840 go to do it but one kid does it first and then everyone realizes oh he's done it and got away with

00:59:49.600 it or whatever so uh we'll all do it now it's it's funny how just about every story we cover these

00:59:54.960 days it we either mention explicitly in the story or people pointed out in the comments oh yeah they're

01:00:01.280 doing this everywhere else as well but every story it's almost like there's some sort of

01:00:07.600 undisclosed covert one world government yeah it's funny that almost like they're acting in unison as if

01:00:14.400 they were one government how curious almost as if that um or germany ze germans also uh suspending all

01:00:25.200 asylum from syria the bad jihad is coming back from syria not the good ones sweden norway and denmark

01:00:34.480 all falling in line so they can they can control their borders a bit at least to some extent when they

01:00:39.600 want to britain starmer got the memo battle hardened islamic state fighters from the uk could be freed

01:00:52.240 from prison okay so the people who supported the dentist you know it's very important that they're

01:00:58.240 not allowed into the country but the the the beheaders the uh you know islamic beheaders we've got to let

01:01:05.440 them out of jail now yeah it makes sense just you know not to a rational mind but this right yeah

01:01:14.000 right oh lammy uh apparently went on tv i didn't actually see this but went on tv saying no no no

01:01:20.240 we'll uh we're not we're not suspended any asylum applications and then the home office just said no

01:01:23.840 we are we are though so he he didn't get the memo or he didn't read the memo did you a quick aside

01:01:30.480 did you see the um the tucker um interview that he did with sergey lavrov no i didn't know i'd lose

01:01:36.000 recently in the last few days or something yeah all right no i i had a number of people sort of pointed

01:01:40.080 out to me and i just sent a picture of david lammy back and said yeah that you know the russians got

01:01:43.680 sergey lavrov but we've got david lammy checkmate russia yeah you've got the towering intellect

01:01:50.320 of david lammy um yes he knows how things work he knows how the world works so yes let's have him

01:01:59.840 at the forum we score one master so so we're um yeah so a lot of the countries in western europe

01:02:06.480 have decided that uh returning jihadis from syria uh are beyond the pale

01:02:13.120 because they supported the dentist so that's interesting to say yeah if they supported the

01:02:16.640 dentist yeah oh no wait he's an eye doctor wasn't he what was he i think he was an eye doctor i knew

01:02:21.200 he was one of the obscure medical fields but i couldn't remember he's an eye doctor again anyway

01:02:25.280 what's that an optologist or something what is the proper word for an eye doctor i can't remember

01:02:29.520 yeah i think it's an optologist could be wrong um so also other news coming out of of syria that i

01:02:36.400 think is interesting is that um israel have dipped their oar in they're getting involved right

01:02:43.920 um well it is in their region um so over the past few days the israeli military has launched

01:02:50.960 extensive airstrikes across syria targeting military sites air defenses and naval assets

01:02:57.520 sounds like a full-blown thing to me uh reports confirm that the israeli defense force the idf have

01:03:02.240 struck over 250 locations severely impacting syrian military infrastructure including the destruction of

01:03:08.160 key air bases and the syrian navy's missile fleet in strategic locations like minet al badia i don't

01:03:14.880 know where that is and some other place i can't pronounce the the strikes come in the context of

01:03:19.440 ongoing regional tensions with israeli with israel aiming to prevent the proliferation of advanced

01:03:24.720 weaponry and to potential threats in other words blow up his proper good military assets so the new

01:03:32.080 blokes the new rebels don't get it i mean it's um it's handy that they had a list of targets ready

01:03:38.160 to go just in case there was a moment of instability do you think we've got a list of of french military

01:03:44.160 targets just in case you know if the government were to fall and if macron were to be deposed

01:03:50.800 do you think we've got a list ready where we could just like okay launch the fighters now take

01:03:54.800 out the french base british military like horse guards parade it's got a it's got a map somewhere

01:04:00.800 yes hey we need to take out their naval base at too long or something uh i don't know i mean

01:04:06.560 well i'd like to think i don't know maybe maybe um but um if you were if you were looking at this

01:04:12.960 strictly from a pragmatic israeli point of view it does make sense i mean on some level i don't blame

01:04:18.880 them at all really because we know assyria has got some at least some chemical weapons right um

01:04:26.080 yeah so it might be best to blow those up so that the new chaps don't get their dirty mitts on them

01:04:33.840 maybe that is for the best but it's also extremely um yes well maybe not extremely but it's also

01:04:40.000 fairly cynical from the israelis they're like well these are this is a long-term strategic enemy yes

01:04:45.600 uh and we can just blow up their navy and air force right now so yes so we go ahead and do it

01:04:52.240 yes shouldn't laugh really it's uh well as with most things israeli

01:05:01.120 the thing that bothers me about it the most is that we don't do it i mean they have got the most robust

01:05:07.040 ethno-nationalist um setup that you could ever hope for their border is is policed i mean apart from on

01:05:14.080 certain days their border is policed with barbed wire and machine guns and i just think well yeah

01:05:19.440 why can't we have that they stand up for themselves yeah so sometimes it won't be ordered around by the

01:05:26.720 state sometimes robust ethno-nationalism is a good thing and in all other cases it's a bad thing

01:05:32.880 apparently yeah yeah scottish nationalism is fine welsh nationalism is fine irish nationalism not american or

01:05:40.960 english though yes yeah something wrong with that kind of that no um israeli forces have conducted

01:05:48.080 extensive military operations across syria following the fall of president bashar al-assad the operations

01:05:52.640 involved israeli troops moving close to damascus there were some reports that there's even tank

01:05:57.440 divisions but other reports saying that's not true um airstrikes targeting numerous uh syrian military

01:06:03.280 installations and the destruction of a significant portion of syria's air force capabilities

01:06:08.400 international reactions have varied uh with some countries condemning the incursion as a land grab

01:06:15.360 while others urge the situation uh to be temporary um so there you go and a fair bit of the news uh

01:06:24.080 i mentioned the bbc saying that they've uh saying that israel are doing this um the telegraph

01:06:32.160 you know the chemical weapons well that israel want to create some sort of buffer zone

01:06:39.360 that they'll get maybe like the kurds or some other faction to control the region between israel and

01:06:45.760 syria so there's some sort of buffer zone well they figure out exactly extending two miles in each

01:06:51.520 direction from their borders um yeah just while we figure out exactly what this new regime are all

01:07:01.680 about you know really what they're going to do and what they're like um well a while pounds damascus

01:07:08.480 at a wild guess they're going to start slaughtering christians oh oh no doubt i mean i say that's a

01:07:14.480 a wild guess is because whenever the um you know the collective west does anything anywhere the result

01:07:21.840 is always christians get slaughtered every time yeah oh yeah yeah i mean if i was slightly more

01:07:29.200 suspicious i might start to ask why christians always getting slaughtered is is the accidental

01:07:35.360 outcome of all of these interventions i don't really know anything about the new guy and his regime

01:07:44.320 but um don't hold out any real hope that he's going to be

01:07:50.880 good or in in any sense other than for his particular brand of islamism yeah i mean i remember

01:07:58.240 the days when isis was bad yeah sky news yeah saying it's a land grab yeah probably yeah

01:08:07.120 the times of the times of israel gloating over it their general their uh generals huddled in their masses

01:08:18.400 just like witches at black masses yeah the war pigs

01:08:27.040 um so yeah so that's uh something that's happening we're stopping the particular type

01:08:32.880 one particular small type of syrian jihadi from coming to western europe but in all other senses

01:08:39.680 of course um there there will be some sort of exodus of the the losers and uh well as it stands

01:08:47.280 they'll just get on a dinghy right they'll find that find their way to calais yes get on a dinghy

01:08:54.560 and uh their ids they'll just drop into the channel well if if if they put out the word we're

01:09:00.320 no longer accepting syrians as well i just toss my syrian passport then well have they got a tony

01:09:05.360 blair digital id that will stop all of this that will definitely stop all of that yes

01:09:13.360 so another thing to mention um in this segment i think is uh that a bit of a two-part segment

01:09:19.520 really uh they're sort of tangentially connected but um that in britain we looks like we're going to

01:09:25.840 pass laws banning first cousin marriage well that wasn't already a thing right that that was that

01:09:31.840 was one but mind you i always thought it was already illegal well it's the sort of thing that

01:09:36.640 you don't need to tell you don't need to tell english people not to marry their cousins don't marry

01:09:42.240 your own sister or your mum yes you're not allowed to marry your own mum or your first cousin

01:09:46.960 yeah yeah no one's gonna you're not mad nobody was doing this nobody nobody was doing this for

01:09:51.920 centuries so what's changed bow oh nothing it's just a it's just a problem now just just english

01:09:58.800 people british people just marrying their first cousins a lot now well what are those numbers you

01:10:03.760 got there then oh no that's right people that are actually uh foreign fifth columnists uh are doing

01:10:09.600 it aren't they people from foreign cultures which are definitely equal to ours because all cultures are

01:10:14.640 equal so hang on saying that in pakistan 65 of marriages are between first cousins

01:10:19.680 yep what 65 according to josh firm do you know that big josh firm off lotus eaters you know lotus

01:10:26.400 eaters he's all right good lad i think i'll follow him um he's saying according to his stats um yeah

01:10:33.680 65 in pakistan because um seriously it's 65 no wonder they're so absolutely batshit it's madness how long

01:10:43.440 has that been going on for uh for since what the the eighth seventh eighth century or whatever i

01:10:49.600 suppose it's in islam isn't it it's that uh i mean i'd expect muhammad blessed be upon his name

01:10:54.960 married his first cousin right i would expect them to start looking at jim henderson puppets after

01:10:59.200 about three generations if this has been going on for a while that is um worrying yeah it's mad if the

01:11:07.520 number or instance the west it's in the west it's less than one percent yeah it's really really rare

01:11:11.680 it's a freakish thing it'll get you on um jeremy kyle or something it's that rare right it just doesn't

01:11:17.520 really happen no um although in the godfather part three they fall in love with each other don't they

01:11:25.120 anyway uh you you don't marry and have children's with your first cousin it's absolutely

01:11:31.280 crazy when it cuts down on the amount of christmas presents from grandparents for a start yeah yeah

01:11:38.880 half as many um so yeah if it's more than like a fraction of one percent then it's a terrible

01:11:44.960 terrible problem if it's 65 that's mad in saudi arabia 50 afghanistan 40 in iran 30 egypt and turkey 20

01:11:55.200 even turkey i always thought that the people from these areas of the world were so disagreeable

01:12:02.560 because it was sandy and hot and that was just bothersome but i'm starting to think there may

01:12:07.680 be another reason turns out they're just inbred in rural areas of pakistan it's up to 80 percent

01:12:13.840 so you're the freak if you don't marry your first cousin yeah but you're you've only you've only got

01:12:18.080 one first cousin and she's already married it's like oh no i'm gonna have to go to a second cousin now

01:12:22.160 yeah well this is there's an idea is it is ancient truly ancient the idea that your family or your

01:12:31.840 clan what might want to use the word tribe but certainly your clan or your family is that there's

01:12:39.280 wealth and money or prestige or something within that and you dilute it and water it down if you marry

01:12:45.680 outside of it there there's there's wealth in rural pakistan is there well not exactly but you know

01:12:52.880 who's going to inherit who's going to inherit these three goats it's all relative though isn't it it's

01:12:57.040 all relative right so yeah they're not they're not wealthy compared to somebody who's yes upper middle

01:13:03.920 class living in the bay area yes or in uh mayfair but um it's all relative isn't it yeah the idea that um

01:13:11.840 um yeah that we to to dilute the family or the clan is bad and we've got we've got a carte blanche

01:13:22.240 from the imam that you can marry your first cousin so you do

01:13:28.880 i mean this is making the boomers look good because at least at least they just squander all of their wealth

01:13:34.640 and you know the older they get it's like we've got to we've got to ram in more saga cruises until

01:13:39.280 it's all gone because because that way there's no incentive to marry your first cousin because there

01:13:44.640 is nothing coming down from the grandparents yeah but all cultures are equal all cultures are equal

01:13:52.720 come on let's not be bigoted right big josh firm off of lotus eater says in 2002 study revealed a

01:13:59.280 2002 study revealed that while pakistani babies make up four percent of uk births so it's much more

01:14:05.040 now uh they account for 30 of birth defects in 2013 a larger study found that 37 of babies with birth

01:14:14.000 defects were from pakistani first cousin marriages 37 times higher than the national average yes because

01:14:22.480 it is unnatural yes it's mad it's honestly mad i mean they're all on benefits so why do they you can

01:14:32.480 stop doing the the cousin marriage thing now you can stop doing that you're still going to get your

01:14:36.800 benefits anyway yeah yeah right but once again just to make it perfectly clear all cultures are equal

01:14:46.720 it's not possible to have a value judgment about different cultures that that's that would be

01:14:53.520 beyond the pale yeah that would be gross and perverse right not birth defects in lots and lots and

01:15:02.080 lots of babies that's not that's not the problem okay big josh firm off of that lotus eaters says despite

01:15:10.000 making up 0.05 percent of the uk population albanians make up 1.6 percent of all prisoners 32 times over

01:15:19.600 represented it's an interesting statistic isn't it it's almost like all cultures are equal uh they are

01:15:26.960 the largest foreign prison population at 14 now the average uh prisoner costs the uk taxpayer over 51 grand

01:15:34.160 i imagine that's a year is it as of march 2023 prisoners who who agreed to deportation had their

01:15:42.880 jail terms reduced and received a payment of 1500 quid oh i mean why not yeah why not it's not it's not a

01:15:49.360 type of modern dangeld it's definitely not that no no no in 2022 uh they albanians were 28 of the

01:15:57.120 illegal immigrants with 27 of the asylum applications being granted so um right so it's not that there's

01:16:06.080 anything wrong with albanian culture or anything well because all cultures are equal but but i i mean

01:16:13.600 i mean the still man case for this is it could just be balanced based albanians saying to all of their

01:16:19.360 criminals um we're gonna we're gonna do this unless you go off to britain and do your crime there and

01:16:25.600 they're like yeah right then well to be absolutely honest and fair and reasonable that is what's

01:16:29.600 happened isn't it yeah albania and loads of other countries and not just britain it's happening in

01:16:35.440 america as well yeah that these other countries offload their the worst elements of their society

01:16:44.320 anywhere else would you like to get out of prison 10 years earlier um the requirement is is that you

01:16:50.400 and your family move to britain or america or something or just not here yeah just not here

01:16:56.320 go away see if you can get to calais or the rio grand i mean to be fair then to be fair and it's

01:17:02.080 up to you to get in and once you're in it's fine we're not not our problem anymore to be fair if i was

01:17:06.400 running this place i'd do exactly the same thing really yeah i think it's scummy i'll just lock up my

01:17:11.840 own like um yeah yeah but not 51 grand a year oh sorry i guess i missed your point what were you

01:17:21.280 saying well i just i i would just get rid of them somehow i mean there are there are other methods that

01:17:28.080 we we can only talk about in the context of mine oh i thought you were saying but you can also you

01:17:32.080 can also just get them to go somewhere else all right i thought you were saying if you were if you

01:17:36.640 could with the leader of albania you'd do the same thing oh no if i was either leader of britain all right

01:17:41.280 okay sorry i see i'll be like yeah you you guys can you know one way or another yeah no i'd put them

01:17:47.040 on planes yeah just send them back yes i'll put them on a plane apart from the really bad ones you'd

01:17:55.520 use helicopters all right well so there's a couple of tidbits for you um i guess that's it

01:18:04.240 oh do you you might have some of those comment things i've got some comments on the rumble thing

01:18:11.440 uh what's this uh the engaged few says the engaged few says uh imagine an entire region of the planet

01:18:19.760 filled with people with habsburg jawlines brittle bones and random instances of full-blown

01:18:26.240 insanity what could possibly go wrong yeah uh dragon lady chris says you think even muslims would have

01:18:33.440 learned a lesson about inbreeding from the habsburgs yeah well again it's a story as old as time and

01:18:41.360 the engaged few again says war pigs is one of my favorite sabbath songs me too in fact it is my

01:18:46.320 favorite sabbath song um but i really prefer the original lyrics when the song was titled

01:18:53.200 walpergus i don't know if that's true or a joke i've never heard of that before didn't know that one but

01:18:58.320 war pigs by black sabbath is a wicked song anyone out there doesn't know it i will look it up you

01:19:04.720 don't know it no oh you probably would have heard it quite famous one anyway uh the binary surfer says

01:19:11.680 bogey bigot they're not just all equal they're all beautiful quite quite true exactly beautiful to the

01:19:20.080 exactly the same extent um also is josh bitter because the cornish are losing their their crown

01:19:26.880 as king of the uk's cousin shaggers well no that crown belongs to people from norfolk we all know that

01:19:34.400 no no more monopoly on webbed feet um it's funny in britain anyone who's a foreign or american might

01:19:40.160 not know that we take the mickey out of farmers from norfolk and people from the deep west country

01:19:44.960 like devon or cornwall for being inbred also scotch welsh and irish oh yeah of course

01:19:50.880 yes i mean we we're very diverse in our in our humor and the real real reality is that we're not

01:19:57.120 at all right yeah no we actually get on we don't yeah yeah all right so what uh some video comments yes

01:20:05.600 enjoyed your segment on the fall of the french government as it's going currently though i would

01:20:11.840 point out that the french government factions the big three are the collaborators the cowards and the

01:20:18.400 capitulators france should change its motto from liberty equality and brotherhood to cowardice collaboration

01:20:28.560 and capitulation

01:20:32.560 i learned the other day that apparently the french flag has blue and red in it

01:20:36.560 yeah of course the tricula well sorry i don't get the joke uh you think about it

01:20:44.320 blue and red i don't get it yeah it has blue and red in it

01:20:48.480 you'll get there okay sorry next video sorry right over my head whatever that is

01:20:54.320 dan has been based before the word even came to be his expertise and finance led to realizing many

01:20:59.680 truths about human behavior and money scams governments inflict on us dan's brokonomic series was an instant

01:21:06.240 hit he puts on a lax facade but you realize how frightfully smart he is when he casually

01:21:11.840 calculates how to colonize venus for fun dan hides his true power level ask him what he thinks about

01:21:18.320 modern women quite based dan goes in the d-tier what yeah what what i thought he was teeing you up for

01:21:26.480 s or a bloody t-tier that was all going so well oh i was like

01:21:35.040 i have no idea sir no i basic based

01:21:41.680 well whoever that is ban him that's ruined your day i i'm i'm gutted i'm not s-tier

01:21:48.480 but yeah i mean i i assumed he was teeing you up there to put you in a that's what i felt like

01:21:54.800 where that was going god i'll tell you before you allow to make one of these tier lists you ought to

01:22:00.000 come and listen to the conversations that we have in the office office the stuff that we can't even

01:22:04.080 bloody put on camera but don't god's sakes don't report them to special branch basic based um i i

01:22:11.360 didn't know this was happening and i want to see my one now what he said about me i guess he did that a

01:22:15.520 few days ago we must have done you're already on the list you must have missed it so i've been

01:22:21.440 seeing a few posts on my timeline basically promoting the fact that people implicitly

01:22:27.360 right-wingers are worshipping villains and this trend needs to stop when the fact is it's like this

01:22:33.120 is mostly a trend that's being pushed by the left wing it's like disney for example with their like

01:22:37.760 cruella and bellificent films that let's not even forget that disney all the way back when

01:22:42.640 have their pirates of their pet caramean franchise which is trying to whitewash the pirates as good

01:22:47.120 guys you know a lot of figures in those movies were actually slave traders

01:22:52.640 yeah no it's a classic leftist subversion perversion make the bad evil disgusting weird thing uh the thing

01:23:00.160 you're supposed to be cheering for you know satanism over the light of christ for example anything drugs

01:23:08.480 over not drugs right it's just yeah

01:23:16.320 they're freaks this question is for dan i'm a fairly uh risk averse guy and i like to see steady growth

01:23:22.640 over a long number of years and i'm eyeing the spy uh etf trust for the smp 500 index fund is there any

01:23:30.400 downside to investing in something like this i know you're not going to give me financial advice wink

01:23:35.200 wink wink okay no need for the disclaimer uh i appreciate your help but it's had a 25 year

01:23:40.080 over year increase the last four years seems like a safe bet is there something i'm missing thank you

01:23:45.680 very much uh yeah i'm not a fan of of index funds in general um i'll tell you what i'll do is is the

01:23:55.200 next brokernomics i'm filming is i'm going through a whole bunch of um subscriber questions that have

01:24:01.840 accumulated under the videos i want to get to so since you're a good chap in a gold tier i will

01:24:07.280 put this question to the top and it will be covered in the brokernomics where i can give it more time

01:24:12.640 because we've only got like a couple of minutes left can i say something on that yeah go on then

01:24:16.640 i'm not a successful venture capitalist as our dan is but i did work in asset management and

01:24:22.320 investment banking and commodities trading for the best part of 20 years i would say

01:24:26.320 uh at least buy the dip like it's all time higher as a general rule yeah it's not a great time to buy

01:24:37.120 when something says it's all time higher i mean it looks like the trend will continue upwards i would

01:24:41.840 have thought but at least buy a dip i mean i i yeah i mean never buy an all-time high this is not the

01:24:49.920 point in the cycle that i'm doing my buying anyway right right it was two years 18 months ago i was

01:24:56.160 doing my buying and this is the time i'm just holding and waiting and then next in about six to

01:25:01.840 12 months will be when i do my selling but yeah that's a fair point i have been enjoying the videos

01:25:09.120 of what if alt hist albeit his takes rely on the flawed american mapping of left versus right

01:25:14.640 in one video he describes how we will have to deal with mental health as a threat akin to the black

01:25:19.520 death just like our predecessors having to fumble their way to learning about hygiene and germ theory

01:25:24.320 so too we will have to struggle to understand how our mental health is built up i'm profoundly unsettled

01:25:29.920 by adverts for mental health services and the associated days of awareness which strike me as

01:25:34.960 analogous to the old snake oil remedy salesman of the wild west

01:25:42.720 always solid comments there right is that we should we do the uh the written ones then all right

01:25:49.040 right bloody basic based right uh alex ogle says the difference bow is that back when we were a fewer

01:25:56.640 media outlets as much closer scrutiny and extra care was taken with the output yeah everything seems

01:26:02.320 rushed and half-assed these days but it could just be that the lower quality of the people presenting i

01:26:07.760 don't i don't know um carl's gallon tub of newlin oil uh says trying to explain the actions of

01:26:15.040 intelligence agencies as often dismissed as relying on circumstantial evidence however the very nature of

01:26:21.200 intelligence organizations mean there is black money and a lack of paper trail such organizations have

01:26:26.480 no accountability and cannot be trusted because of the very structure yet we are still gaslit into saying

01:26:31.280 they act only in our best interests yes was it oh i see right um omar award says a country that

01:26:42.720 can't trust its citizens with the truth is afraid of what they might do if they find out on the other

01:26:47.280 hand it's kind of funny to think gamergate might have been a cia psyop yeah lots of things are actually

01:26:54.240 um hang on let's do one more from this um sophie live says gotta hand it to the nazis they were at least

01:27:00.560 honest enough to just straight up call it the ministry of propaganda yes yeah we cause our bbc verify

01:27:07.360 it's just yes a bit weak isn't it um economic zone 17 says horrifying that the dystopian express card

01:27:17.680 the id card is back on the agenda again no and it never really went away i mean the the white paper has

01:27:23.440 been sat there for about two years now they never stopped banging the drum yeah never it's it's just it

01:27:29.040 was just a question of you know picking their moment to push it out um carl's gullant of newly

01:27:36.960 nor says i'm calling it now the uk government will market this as a way of making it easier to curb

01:27:40.880 illegal migration oh yeah they're yeah they're they're doing that already um mr award says i'm less

01:27:46.080 concerned about who they uh decide are no longer citizens as much as i am they will

01:27:51.120 suddenly decide who are yeah of course yeah because of course if you yeah i gave the example

01:27:56.000 they can take away uses but they can also add it yeah yeah you get someone like boris johnson just go

01:28:01.920 oh everyone that's polish is just now british yes click done well i don't think it would work the

01:28:06.800 polish because i was just thinking yeah because they're they're on the verge of going back because

01:28:10.560 because because i think polish gdp per head is going to be surpassing ours for long well let's

01:28:16.320 say somali then yeah oh yeah yeah that that would that would work perfectly yeah it doesn't matter if

01:28:21.840 you're even here yet yes it's already done for you oh yeah if you get if you can physically get here

01:28:27.200 it's already that's a good point you get a global global id card of some sort and they can just yeah

01:28:33.120 go around ticking all the somalis or just we'll just do the mark all thing yeah they've all got

01:28:38.560 well they'll decide you're a dissident because you did or said something they didn't like you did a

01:28:42.320 facebook post yeah or you turned up at a protest even though you didn't actually do anything yeah

01:28:46.880 they decide that you're a dissident yeah and they just either just come around and put you in the

01:28:53.920 back of a paddy wagon well it's probably on pc you can't send it put you back in in the back of a

01:28:58.080 police car and uh or they just say um no more bank account for you yeah you're not allowed to shop

01:29:04.960 anymore and and they're probably they could do all they could do anything they want and they

01:29:10.240 could probably do that twitter thing that you know that what they did the shadow banning where

01:29:14.960 where they didn't have a good reason to go after you they just didn't like you

01:29:20.160 so they did like all these background things that you didn't be aware of so once you've got this kind

01:29:24.960 of setup they could they could just you know activate the shadow irritation thing and like every

01:29:30.560 payment is declined three times before it finally goes through absolutely all sorts of stuff that

01:29:35.520 was something i was going to meant to say during the segment but then we moved on to talk about

01:29:38.320 something else yeah they'll just shadow they'll do shadow stuff on your digital work on your digital

01:29:44.320 life and you don't even know that they've done anything but yeah it's just now near or it's near

01:29:49.600 impossible or impossible all sorts of avenues are just closed to you and you didn't even know yeah yeah

01:29:56.720 yeah um uh drone van karl karen says in the netherlands uh we can't have any online interaction

01:30:07.120 with the government without our uh digi id for years we get less and less paper information and

01:30:11.520 everything's going online oh dear and sophie live says um denmark already had digital id for 10 years

01:30:18.000 literally since the first of june 2010 we had our digital ids originally called easy id and now my id

01:30:24.160 uh since 2021 can't make any purchase on the internet or into my web bank or anything without

01:30:29.600 using the id uh den uh denmark and finland were the test rats for this yeah and also the czech republic

01:30:35.680 that they that they've had a version of that for years as well um

01:30:41.040 annie e moss says uh dan it would be nice to think you could create digital id without the government

01:30:46.320 being involved um but if one was created the government would take it over in a bait and switch move

01:30:51.680 well they wouldn't be able to if it was it was blockchain based but uh that's why i like that

01:30:55.840 and finally uh should we do a couple of the no syrian ones uh furious dan says uh funny how asad uh

01:31:03.680 the one syrian refugee who is actually a doctor doesn't end up in the eu yeah that's a good point

01:31:09.440 actually yeah um george happ says funny how the eu leaders freeze asylum applications the moment there may

01:31:16.320 be uh actual asylum seekers like the christians in um syria yeah yeah again bloody good point um

01:31:24.880 um and ewan baker says something happens in the 90s and then cousin marriage went up

01:31:30.480 uh yes something something or other yes we can't quite we don't really know what do we

01:31:36.000 yes something happened yes quite okay so uh with that i i think we better wrap up we're at time and i

01:31:43.280 will just say to you all i am not basic based
