The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters #1107

00:00:00.000 good afternoon ladies and gentlemen welcome to the podcast the load seaters for monday the 24th

00:00:04.700 of february 2025 i'm joined by stelius and lewis brackpool and we are going to be talking about

00:00:09.980 the historic success of the afd in germany and one thing just very quickly notice how it was like

00:00:15.380 see you didn't win so yeah but you thought they might that's the thing you thought they were

00:00:19.960 going to so yeah anyway uh we're going to have a deep dive into black rock and then the most

00:00:24.920 important part is i'm going to teach you about the lost empire of tartaria uh so definitely stay

00:00:30.360 tuned for that um right well what what happened in germany stelius right i suppose it'll start with

00:00:36.200 a pay-in to german efficiency because yesterday there were federal elections in germany

00:00:41.840 the previous ones were in 2021 yesterday the germans voted for uh for uh the federal elections and they

00:00:51.860 counted more than 50 million votes in eight hours that's very good they're about and people are

00:00:57.580 doing the comparison between germany and california i don't know if the counting has officially stopped

00:01:03.380 in california or not you know i'm not even sure it has yeah really i don't know let me see if i can

00:01:10.060 find out wow yes so people said that they were counting for at least a month my hunch is that it

00:01:17.860 hasn't officially stopped but whatever so i'll pay into german efficiency well done in december

00:01:24.580 california was december last year california was still counting votes i'll keep looking because i'm

00:01:30.760 genuinely curious about this now that you said so i mean that this shows something that you know they

00:01:36.980 when they put their minds to something they can do it the thing is i i don't even know it's not that

00:01:43.460 there's anything remarkable about that i mean normally we get the election results the next day

00:01:47.420 you're like well like you know like four in the morning or something you know it's not that unusual

00:01:51.220 it's actually just you know in america there's something funny going on one guy in an office

00:01:56.600 just sitting there on his fingers it's nice to poke them a bit it is yeah right so here we have the

00:02:04.060 federal election results and we have the spd party with sorry i can't see because i have the camera in

00:02:13.220 front of me but it's it's okay we have the spd party that scored 16.4 percent which means that they

00:02:21.680 lost more than a third of their votes now the this party is the party that was the ruling one

00:02:29.160 and the coalition up until yesterday and they they've lost more than a third of their votes

00:02:35.760 now the cdu and the csu coalition the the union is is the party that came first together they have

00:02:45.800 close to 28.6 some of them and they they are going to rule germany for for the next four years

00:02:55.260 i genuinely hate proportional representation well it's it's not that i can totally see the sense of

00:03:01.880 it but oh great so 28 of the uh the the votes are now going to rule the whole thing it's like

00:03:08.420 that's no better that's worse than kia starmer yeah you're 33 is your mouse not working yeah it's not

00:03:13.180 working thank you very much right so wasn't turned on still yes

00:03:18.500 i'm still not on top four it's totally fine right so we have here ironically this is a genuine i think

00:03:29.600 issue everyone's like oh well you know first past the post is that really representative well it's

00:03:33.440 more representative than this well they they lost 9.3 percent and i think that that was really well

00:03:40.360 deserved that was the one of the biggest you know issues from last night when you govern a country and

00:03:49.040 you you constantly don't listen to your people and you just make virtue signaling statements yeah you

00:03:58.200 deserve to lose right we have the cdu here had uh plus 3.6 percent and along with the csu they had more

00:04:07.960 something like plus 4.7 percent 4.5 percent the green party here lost 3.1 uh percent which is a dip but

00:04:19.860 they didn't get decimated right and that was something that a lot of people expected especially

00:04:26.420 if uh they factored in how the greens fared in the state elections but still it's it's something

00:04:34.540 watermelon party still exists yes and the afd literally doubled its percentage from 10.4 four

00:04:41.140 years ago they went to 20.8 percent they literally doubled their their uh percentage east east germany

00:04:48.980 and here we have a delinca that one uh that raised its percentage for four percent so for those people

00:04:58.340 not watching from a german-speaking country uh what does delinca mean the left yes interesting just a

00:05:06.200 communist party but then most of them are like i saw someone going like oh see 80 of germany voted 0.53

00:05:11.500 against the afd so yeah because 80 of germany is communist yeah that was a really uh ridiculous

00:05:17.260 framing by giefer hofstad yeah it was right there yes but i mean you you could play this again and say

00:05:23.820 84 percent voted no to olaf schultz good i mean correct it's it's not a particularly interesting

00:05:31.840 way of framing the debate and we're used you were used to it by for hofstad oh yeah right so let's

00:05:39.500 move here fridrich mertz is the winner of the elections and uh lewis will have some things to say

00:05:46.180 about him because i think he was a previous employee for blackrock he was indeed yeah yeah he was

00:05:54.160 right and he said that essentially musk intervened in the german elections of course and that he is uh

00:06:01.560 musk intervened in the german election what do you he had an opinion yeah yeah and uh he said

00:06:08.180 essentially that he is going to strive for european independence from the u.s now we'll see what this

00:06:15.320 means let's let's see so after the after the results were announced alice vital from afd said

00:06:24.560 that she started to talk about to form a coalition with a with a cdu and the csu and the cdu ruled out

00:06:33.460 the coalition and they are going to team up team up with the spd now this is why you can't trust

00:06:39.920 conservatives every time those go you know i'm just going to go for the communists actually and it's

00:06:44.680 just so weird you know because the the the literally the left party is like ah the afd and

00:06:50.320 nazis there's no evidence that the afds and nazis but but also the point patriotic the point is that

00:06:55.600 if they form coalition governments between the spd and the the cdu and every time one of them gets

00:07:03.120 punished but is a member of the next coalition government because the other one wins and forms a

00:07:10.740 coalition with them it means that the germans will have perpetual a perpetually a government that 0.96

00:07:17.020 they they are punishing because most probably what's going to happen here is that the cdu is

00:07:23.140 going to opt for being the anti-afd rather than being a genuine party and that's that's the dilemma

00:07:30.520 that they have are they going to be the anti-afd just constantly virtue signaling that they are

00:07:35.960 against the afd that's that's a massively crowded field just like in this country there are a

00:07:40.320 plurality of left-wing parties and one party that's not communist and everyone's like well i mean we're

00:07:45.980 all against that guy it's like okay but you're competing with loads of other people who've got

00:07:49.080 much stronger bona fides when it comes to you know not being right wing like the left or whoever you know

00:07:54.840 so it's just like what are you doing what are you doing the same thing as well in france with le pen

00:08:00.020 yeah they all you know formed a coalition just against le pen yeah that's just there's a weird

00:08:05.680 pattern going on this this is good though because there's the kind of it's kind of like marx actually

00:08:11.300 in the communist manifesto it's like all the all the great powers of europe accept that communism is a

00:08:15.820 power it's like all the great powers of europe accept that the afd are a power you know all of the

00:08:20.280 great powers in germany are like no it's like yeah we're coming i think any amount of time alice

00:08:25.980 vital uh says it correctly where she says if the cdu commits electoral fraud against its own voters by 0.64

00:08:33.680 forming a coalition with the left the next election will come sooner than you think then we will overtake

00:08:39.220 the cdu as the strongest force and i think i think that the cdu will do well to to listen to this even

00:08:46.160 if it's it comes from an opponent of theirs because their dilemma is whether they're going to become the

00:08:52.940 next spd by just constantly virtue signaling that they are the anti-afd or whether they're going to

00:09:00.140 govern as an actual center-right party and lately we have been used to seeing parties that call

00:09:06.920 themselves center-right and conservative in to liberals to actually governing like something like

00:09:14.020 social democrats or something so i i think that this is going to happen the next elections the afd is

00:09:20.240 going to have an even greater even greater percentage like every conservative party that

00:09:26.080 has ever been they will just side with the communists yes and the afd was in a sense the

00:09:30.760 the issue of the election and you see this from schultz commenting on his loss that for the afd won

00:09:37.940 around 20 of the votes and he will never accept that a far-right party like the afd achieves such a

00:09:43.440 such a reaction denial yeah yeah what do you say banned off youtube immediately

00:09:49.000 right so the issue with the spd is though that they had zero message that the only message was

00:09:59.360 we don't want the afd right that was their only message and that's why the electoral defeat that 0.98

00:10:05.580 they sustained was one of the worst in more than a century they say that for instance the spd

00:10:11.840 scored around 16.4 percent and this is the worst result since the 1887 election wow good

00:10:22.660 this is entirely well deserved and now i think we should go and look at some trends because

00:10:28.740 interesting same map really interesting and uh i think that here is where we're gonna have a

00:10:35.640 we're gonna have a laugh and also we're gonna make some good points so you see here the electoral the

00:10:44.060 state map of germany in 2021 and the state map of germany in 2025 and what you see is that in

00:10:51.200 so just uh just for anyone watching does anyone want to guess where the berlin wall was

00:10:56.240 in berlin yeah look look at look at the soviet area versus the the liberal area and it's so it's crazy

00:11:06.420 isn't it contrast so you see here the spd and the delinke was really dominant in eastern germany

00:11:14.320 four years ago now the afd is entirely dominant except for a small two small areas here one of them in

00:11:22.140 berlin of course yeah where the link came first i think it was of course metropolitan cities yeah of

00:11:30.180 course yes so i saw that uh thierry bardo had a really great take on this he was like look

00:11:34.800 basically for the last 80 years or 90 years uh germany has been subjected to two forms of marxism

00:11:40.800 either economic marxism or cultural marxism yeah and the cultural marxist side is voting for the

00:11:46.020 conservatives and the economic marxism side is voting for the afd and it's really interesting

00:11:54.080 that almost no one voted for the spd if you just see the electoral map here they are nothing like

00:12:03.060 they they were four years ago and this should also serve as a warning for the cde and the csu the union

00:12:09.900 because they could easily turn into the spd of 2021 it's just if they're gonna persist and down

00:12:19.940 the road of just calling themselves anti-afd no matter what if the afd goes out and says two plus

00:12:26.380 two equals four if they go out and say no it's five they're gonna have the same fate

00:12:31.100 right so the stronghold of the afd was saxony they won around uh 52 percent it's more than double

00:12:42.620 of what the cdu won so that's uh that's interesting here we have the biggest winner of the 1821

00:12:50.620 year block it was delinke i just want a pie called the right now yeah no with the right

00:12:59.260 everything you think is yeah we're the scary right wingers now what right so in the 1824 years old

00:13:07.180 age gap the the link is scored three times more than it than its national average

00:13:12.740 and this means that the young germans the germans between 18 and 24 preferred delinke by 27

00:13:23.320 percent suggesting afd with 21 that implies a level of agency i don't think they've been

00:13:28.940 granted yes uh no no is it so let me explain my my thesis i bet the education in germany is

00:13:37.240 basically communist it's going to be entirely and completely and consistently radically left-wing

00:13:42.740 there's there's not going to be anything that even approaches right-wing education in germany

00:13:47.760 and so oh look more than a quarter of the kids are radical communists and they're going to vote for

00:13:52.160 the communist party yes because you've educated them this way that's why it's just insane yes this

00:13:59.060 generally happens we we generally have young people who are more leftists but also we have

00:14:06.300 21 who voted for the afd and you see that they weren't particularly interested in the messages of the

00:14:13.180 other parties right here we have a very radical zoom very interesting um comparison if you compare

00:14:22.240 the 18 24 year olds and the 70 plus germans you see they have the almost the exact opposite 1.00

00:14:29.840 almost the exact opposite um you know why though the cdu are going to be like your pensions

00:14:36.360 yeah yeah yeah yeah boomer bloody pensions yeah and you see here 43 43 43 voted for the cdu csu union

00:14:46.740 yeah 24 voted for the spd and they weren't that interested in in other parties either yeah

00:14:57.220 still stuck in that oh yeah paradigm 20th century paradigm yeah deary me here i have something that is

00:15:05.200 gonna make you very sad and very mad and young women in i think oh what a surprise yeah young women 1.00

00:15:15.660 who are single in cities no kidding okay the sex in the city yeah to vote a block city life because

00:15:23.060 we're the left like we're gonna guarantee your right to abortion yeah and and the old rural men 0.99

00:15:29.040 they had the exact opposite who are union preferences they're they're they're the cdu cdu yeah they're an

00:15:35.480 interesting uh union because the csu is only operative in bavaria right right whereas the cdu is

00:15:41.220 is operative in all 15 states here we see young women in cities they voted 34 for delinke and 22 for greens

00:15:52.500 just and old old men in rural areas voted for 3 for delinke and 8 green and they voted overwhelmingly

00:16:04.640 for the cdu csu union the workers voted for the afd people who pay taxes yeah voted for the afd

00:16:15.560 37 that's interesting yeah exactly it's almost double than the other party than the almost double

00:16:23.260 than the union and it's triple the percentage that voted for the spd um nine times plus what they what

00:16:33.620 voted for the green for the so blatant isn't it almost eight times what they voted for the greens

00:16:40.500 yes yeah it's very very blatant as if working actually gives you a perspective yes well it's

00:16:47.600 my taxes yeah i think it's my bloody taxes yeah right and here we have um we have ral shul hammer

00:16:54.920 friend of the show who wasn't particularly happy yesterday for the result and said that ironically

00:17:00.720 every vote for mertz was a vote for more of the same yes right and uh i'll and i'll end with this

00:17:08.140 link before i give you a short commentary about what happened what i think happened here well let

00:17:16.500 me just say mertz says here i want to do politics so that a party like the afd is no longer needed in

00:17:23.600 germany he told the congress of his conservatives in january blaming the social democrats schultz and

00:17:30.760 his green partners for creating the conditions that nurtured the afd which is totally fair but it's

00:17:37.740 your failure and it's been a long time coming so well we need to say several things here because they

00:17:44.780 are going to determine what's going to happen the last in the next four years in germany when it comes

00:17:50.460 to this uh to these issues first of all mertz a few weeks ago gave forward a proposal at the

00:18:01.260 bundestag for tightening immigration and it passed with the votes of the afd and there was an uproar

00:18:07.740 against against him and they said that you know you teamed up with the afd and even angela merkel who

00:18:13.620 was the previous cdu leader and the chancellor of germany she said this was unacceptable and they

00:18:20.280 made ritualistic displays of we are not the afd and they vote ended up voted voting against it so

00:18:29.140 if at the end of the day they carry as they have carried so far they're just going to be

00:18:35.380 indistinguishable from the spd they are going to form a coalition with the spd

00:18:39.360 so what i think is going to happen is they have a dilemma if they're going to be the anti-afd no

00:18:47.780 matter what they're going to be indistinguishable from the spd and four years afterwards they're

00:18:53.380 going to have the same fate honestly it's going to be sorry it's going to be the same as conservatives

00:18:56.540 and labor in this country how are they different yeah you wouldn't be able to tell in the lineup

00:19:00.600 i was going to say question why doesn't reform um sort of align or associate i've never seen

00:19:09.160 like any form of association with european right-wing parties such as afd le pen i've not i've not seen

00:19:16.260 it at all why is that i dread to think yeah and no nothing to say there well the greens were indecimated

00:19:26.580 which wasn't expected may mean that in the west germany their uh stronghold is much stronger

00:19:34.080 west germany is the problem i'm not joking right so the the linker party shows

00:19:40.680 telling you it's the problem like the west german attitude towards sex is way too liberal

00:19:46.440 the performance of the linker shows that uh young people and especially single women in cities are

00:19:54.340 frequently the target of lots of indoctrination and manipulation by the left and it seems to be

00:20:04.160 working now the spd they fail to govern yet somehow they are saved and if this continues and in the next

00:20:13.780 election the spd wins and the cdu receives all the the let's say resentment of the voters but they end up in

00:20:23.040 a coalition government then it means that that that's really you understand what this means

00:20:28.360 now afd just carry on the upward trajectory and now i want to say about the afd i think that they

00:20:33.760 had a spectacular success yesterday they doubled their percentage a lot of people trying to say well

00:20:39.100 they're led by a lesbian it's not gonna be that's why they lost i think this means that

00:20:45.240 they have zero realism that's your criticism yeah like i think they have exactly that's the thing

00:20:51.520 we're talking about is it i think they have zero realism and the way to go forward is to be to keep

00:20:58.040 doing what they're doing while being cautious if they end up playing you know twitter based olympics

00:21:03.640 they're gonna lose yeah that that's what i think that's that's what i think maybe well but it it was

00:21:11.720 a spectacular success for them the thing is the people are essentially saying i'd like the status

00:21:16.640 quo please not that status quo i'd like this status quo you know but nothing fundamentally is going to

00:21:21.520 change and so all of the things happen under the spdp are going to happen under the cdu and you've just

00:21:28.180 got another four years of the same pension status quo yeah exactly yeah enjoy uh anyway um bald eagle

00:21:39.280 says european independence from the u.s so the u.s is leaving nato and leaving the eu to deal with

00:21:43.140 russia on their own shouldn't be an issue then yet the recent screeching from the eu says otherwise

00:21:47.140 yes but uh you've got to understand it's about their values uh oph uk says called unsanitary against

00:21:52.780 the afd will only make it stronger i think that's probably true rainbow rainbow coalitions to keep the

00:21:57.320 right out of power destroyed the credibility of the mainstream parties in belgium france and the

00:22:00.640 netherlands uh yeah and the same with the conservatives in this country like the they

00:22:06.820 they know that they're fighting for the same constituency as reform for us can always outflank

00:22:11.440 them uh bald eagle says uh someone should take a poll in east germany to see if uh they regret

00:22:15.840 reunification at this point that's a good good thinking uh anyway all right let's move on so what's

00:22:22.520 blackrock do so um this segment i wanted to dedicate to uh looking in a bit more in depth

00:22:30.140 uh on blackrock and their spending uh this comes off the back of a foi request that i put in uh very

00:22:37.980 recently uh back in january to ask why did keir starmer and uh larry fink from blackrock meet what was

00:22:46.720 it they discussed and i wanted to really leave this towards the end i've got the link double but

00:22:52.260 we'll we'll get to this um but firstly what is blackrock um obviously we hear about them quite a lot

00:22:59.680 they're a massive topic uh or massive organization that's the forefront of most topics and the online

00:23:07.140 community but what exactly are they as i understand it they're an asset management firm yes um and they're

00:23:13.980 responsible for managing investments on behalf of individuals institutions and governments um to

00:23:21.260 which they have substantial amount uh 11.6 trillion dollars um this was very recently a month ago um so

00:23:31.320 they're a pretty big deal when it comes to uh money and everything like that it's overlooked by a man

00:23:38.440 named larry fink uh who's the chairman and executive officer where he and seven partners founded the

00:23:44.480 company back in 1988 so what have they invested in uh so we can't go through every single one obviously

00:23:53.040 we'll be here all day so i've split this into different segments um just to understand some of the stuff

00:24:00.340 that they do first one is all about esg so environmental social governance and for those who don't

00:24:08.380 know what that is it's a kind of framework used to evaluate a company's ethical impact or

00:24:16.200 sustainability within their company environmental focusing on the impact of nature and carbon emissions

00:24:23.860 are you net zero are you net zero exactly social are you woke are you woke and governance which is

00:24:31.360 are you sticking to that regulation essentially um and this article published back in 2018 titled

00:24:39.380 does wall street finally care about sustainability uh features a letter by larry fink to which he says

00:24:47.840 um if i go down should be there well it's definitely in there um but it says quote society is demanding

00:24:57.600 that companies both private and public serve a social purpose to prosper over time every company must not

00:25:05.640 only deliver financial performance but also show how it makes a positive contribution to society

00:25:11.900 doesn't sound sinister at all really um but it is say why is he the guy who gets to the side well he's the

00:25:20.620 guy with all the money exactly um but there is a white pill to this um because they have been receiving

00:25:27.700 a lot of pushback um where the big companies such as black rock vanguard state street and others

00:25:35.020 have been sued by texas and 10 other republican-led states um to which is said the large asset managers

00:25:43.420 violated anti-trust laws uh through climate activism and reduced coal production and boosted energy prices

00:25:51.840 so they were sued um by yeah state and 10 others which is well pretty good i'm sure they can take it though

00:26:00.720 yeah absolutely uh this is a french article but it um translates to basically it's hilarious how these

00:26:08.140 green extremists uh seem to think that black rock is on their side so they're like yes just because

00:26:15.300 they invest in the stuff that we believe in they must be on side yeah but um they recently accused

00:26:22.200 black rock of quote greenwashing it's a bit awkward can't believe the predatory capitalists

00:26:28.760 yeah being honest yeah you would have known greens eh yeah it says uh an environmental organization

00:26:35.380 called client earth filed a complaint against black rock accusing the firm of misleading investors

00:26:40.480 by labeling certain certain funds as sustainable while maintaining significant investments in fossil

00:26:47.500 fuel companies like shell interesting um they have ties as well to the federal reserve

00:26:58.040 have i got ron paul's favorite it's on that it's all good try now

00:27:03.740 try now there we go um ah we've skipped ahead a little bit but that's okay uh just looking for the um

00:27:15.160 the ties to the federal reserve one

00:27:17.780 perfect uh but they have ties to the federal reserve so during the pandemic in 2020

00:27:24.740 um so so during the 2020 pandemic the federal is the reserve uh enlisted black rock to manage

00:27:36.980 several emergency lending programs aimed at stabilizing financial markets so had a massive

00:27:44.180 hand in the pandemic and of course controlling the markets then uh because obviously they can

00:27:49.700 but there are also other uh investments as well which are a bit dodgy so i'm dedicating an entire

00:27:58.940 segment about investment in war and weapons where black rock uh has shares in grade d for weapon

00:28:08.380 investments noting that 3.18 percent of his assets under management are invested in military contractors

00:28:14.760 including those in nuclear and controversial weapons so not only are they into environmentalism

00:28:21.240 apparently and fossil fuels but also nuclear weapons what are controversial weapons i don't want to

00:28:27.520 derail the segment no it's just seems i would have thought controversial white phosphorus depleted

00:28:33.520 uranium cluster munitions landmines yeah so pretty pretty big stuff controversial stuff very

00:28:40.960 glad they're the guys overseeing the ethical conduct of companies we're saving the planet but also we've got

00:28:45.840 white phosphorus under our belt until um i need i guess indeed um big uh investment in lockheed martin

00:28:56.400 oh yeah which is one of the biggest uh in july 2024 black rock owned approximately 18.5 million shares

00:29:05.200 of lockheed martin representing 7.79 percent of the company's total shares outstanding so they're a

00:29:12.720 significant stakeholder in that uh other ones uh there's obviously a list of the top holdings that's

00:29:20.620 from black rock themselves general electric raytheon lockheed axion all the big ones yes yeah

00:29:26.540 so that's definitely worth keeping on record and having a little look

00:29:31.280 uh there's also ukraine uh they have a collaboration with ukraine where black rock had

00:29:39.100 been instrumental in assisting the ukrainian government in may 2023 ukraine's ministry of

00:29:44.920 economy signed an agreement with black rock's financial market advisory to provide support

00:29:49.980 services for the ukraine development fund the primary objective of this fund is to attract both public

00:29:57.100 and private capital to finance large-scale business projects essentially essential for ukraine's uh

00:30:03.640 economic recovery so they're the ones that are going to rebuild ukraine so they're going to turn 0.83

00:30:07.980 ukraine into an economic colony of the west yes essentially i'm sure they'll enjoy their mcdonald's

00:30:13.700 um here's where things get a bit uh we're going a bit too far uh there's another one on china here

00:30:23.640 um to do with uh the ccp here we go that's the one but without controversy as well um a committee was

00:30:33.040 held in 2023 on black rock's uh involvement with china or the chinese communist party and found

00:30:40.440 that black rock had channeled 1.9 billion into blacklisted entities including companies that are

00:30:48.700 accused of violating human rights and aiding the people's liberation army amazing that's allowed

00:30:55.240 yeah and yeah it's all here which is pretty insane so reading that i was kind of on their own website as

00:31:04.100 well yeah that's on their press releases on their own bloody website yeah um okay yeah so that's

00:31:11.100 pretty pretty bad mental yeah so they have their hand on a lot um next we have uh our favorite

00:31:21.980 philanthropist oh yes mr gates mr gates which is a big topic malaria back to florida indeed uh he has

00:31:30.520 collaborated i'm joking i didn't know that actually they they released a form of mosquito oh is that the

00:31:37.620 um yeah i think i did read about that the the the mosquitoes they're meant to be like sterilized or 0.88

00:31:44.060 something so right read with them and they don't produce fertile offspring uh but what it also did

00:31:49.220 is just brought malaria back to florida i think it was who thought that was a good idea well bill gates

00:31:54.640 indeed um he has collaborated with black rock on initiatives such as climate change um but he's also

00:32:02.440 um been very involved with ai and investment in global ai infrastructure can't wait to get hold of

00:32:11.780 bill gates's ai yeah indeed and the facial recognition and everything yeah all ties in uh another one

00:32:17.840 cbdc black rock is very much involved with that too so what's cbdc it's a central bank digital

00:32:24.960 currency oh right cashless um and programmable currencies possibly go wrong indeed there was um

00:32:32.200 i should have included the article actually the telegraph wrote a report about um ministers talking

00:32:39.180 about programmable currencies and how you know you can choose what uh someone can spend their money on

00:32:45.840 which is not sinister at all i mean it literally will be able to be that this money is only for these

00:32:52.060 products yeah right what's the point in even having the money and it's all the the quote-unquote

00:32:57.480 conspiracy theories and all the topics all shadow around this particular investment company as well

00:33:04.960 um so yes black rock has shown a strategic interest in digital currencies and blockchain technology

00:33:12.480 uh though it's not directly invested uh larry fink has expressed support for the debate for the

00:33:19.220 development of a u.s digital currency utilizing blockchain and predicting its adoption in the

00:33:25.720 near future so that was april last year it really is going to be sorry you're not allowed to buy this

00:33:31.200 thing because you tweeted the wrong thing yeah you'll consider you're on a list you're on a non-crime

00:33:35.720 hate list yeah prevent therefore yeah yeah it's not even the prevent will come around because you

00:33:39.920 won't be able to you won't be able to buy a train ticket to this yeah just like the chinese yeah 1.00

00:33:43.280 it's not be debunked it's no no they won't even do that they will just no you've got loads of money

00:33:48.220 your account you just can't spend it yeah so can we why do you want to spend it well i'd like to

00:33:52.980 you're gonna have people asking you why do you want to spend it you really need it no no it will just be

00:33:57.900 denied you won't be allowed to buy that ticket to go to this place that's that's what they're

00:34:01.920 going to end up doing just like the chinese super super sinister um another interesting topic 1.00

00:34:10.180 geoengineering i don't know if you guys know much about this i i've i've covered this a little bit

00:34:14.380 as well because yeah the uae and uh bahrain and places like that they use this all the time because

00:34:19.740 of course they live in deserts yes so getting water out of the air is a good thing indeed uh he they've

00:34:25.280 invested in something called direct air capture or technology which is very new to me um i know i've

00:34:32.740 been captured i know about stratospheric aerosol injection and that's obviously like cloud seeding

00:34:38.740 and putting sulfates up into the atmosphere but dac it's called or direct air capture um is a joint

00:34:46.760 venture with petroleum or occidental petroleum to aim to remove 500 000 tons of co2 annually from the

00:34:55.720 atmosphere yeah and it's co2 what the plants use to breathe yeah it's a main component of life on

00:35:05.860 earth i'm not a scientist or anything but remember my gcse sign and they've pledged five they've pledged

00:35:12.560 550 million dollars to develop this um and that's going to cool the planet isn't it yeah apparently so

00:35:19.400 because al gore is still shadowing over people's minds thing is it's winter here in the northern

00:35:24.580 hemisphere and i'm not sure i want no i want yeah want a bit of global warming yeah i'm not terribly

00:35:29.880 against it moving on uh diversity equity and inclusion as we know um they're firm they have

00:35:37.660 firm regularly reviews job postings for biased language ensuring that diverse candidate slates

00:35:44.600 and employees um are given competency-based approach to interviewing and various others so they're very

00:35:52.860 much big on the dei um although there is good news um because the partnerships uh have actually

00:36:03.180 gone down oh really which is really great and this was the 20th of february so i think this is to do

00:36:09.760 with trump or it must be yeah um interest or investor interest in diversity focused funds has waned

00:36:17.660 with global withdrawals of nearly 380 million dollars in the past year and the trend reflects

00:36:24.440 the shifting regional attitudes towards dei investments particularly in the u.s so i i believe

00:36:30.080 that is because of trump it must be yeah um and there's other topics such as agriculture this has been

00:36:37.880 shared about um this is an old one from 2007 where in 2007 blackrock announced plans to launch a 100

00:36:46.160 million pound hedge fund aimed at acquiring farmland across the uk intending to capitalize on rising food

00:36:54.300 prices this is what makes keir starmer meeting with larry fink all the more sinister yes meets with

00:36:59.460 larry fink suddenly there's inheritance tax on the farmland suddenly people are going to sell their farms

00:37:03.340 rather than pass them down and suddenly blackrock gets to buy up all our farmland exactly i mean i just

00:37:09.320 don't think they should be allowed no i agree that's prohibited um so in 2013 blackrock shifted its

00:37:16.960 strategy and began divesting from uk agricultural assets and this is a particular one in 2012 where

00:37:24.200 the the firm sold a 992 uh acre farm in lincorshire for a price significantly above uh the listed value

00:37:33.140 however um right don't say i don't think it says um

00:37:39.480 according to strutton parker the broker that's handling the sale uh asking a price

00:37:47.700 martin robertson's chairman of brooks mcdonald funds which manages 300 million pounds and owns three

00:37:54.400 smaller farms interesting but whilst that is the case there's even the morning star

00:38:02.560 talking about um blackrock i don't even know why that's a communist paper yeah i didn't know

00:38:08.940 that oh i thought that they were quite mainstream socially yeah wow they're communists oh they're

00:38:14.180 massively communist oh yeah 100 interesting says they're for peace and socialism claudia webb

00:38:20.380 recognize that name yeah yeah she's the labor mp yes yeah she's insane is she the one who threatened 1.00

00:38:26.920 to ask yes we'll take this one with a pinch of salt then this is probably one of the few things

00:38:33.600 she's going to actually be good on which is i hate international well there's a there's a potential

00:38:41.220 interest in blackrock re-entering the uk farmland market so it's very interesting the communists are 0.53

00:38:48.380 actually talking about that as well interesting um so my point is as well when we see this tweet

00:38:54.640 that came out i think we all jumped on this and said hang on a minute this is a very bad idea

00:38:59.280 when um i think i'm i'm the like first reply or i was one of the first replies

00:39:04.300 that everyone tweets yeah you can see like everyone in there just like oh god

00:39:08.880 you know just look at the state of it yeah so when we see stuff like that and kia starmer openly saying

00:39:17.020 that he wants to deliver growth create wealth and put more money in people's pockets

00:39:21.420 and then says blackrock is the ones to do it we're all going um we're definitely being sold out

00:39:28.740 yes um but the problem is with this meeting is they didn't disclose exactly what they were talking

00:39:33.920 about so i put in a request to try and figure out what was it that they were talking about and all

00:39:40.800 they gave me unfortunately was the basic outline of the the agenda to which starmer wasn't even present

00:39:47.240 to the first 25 minutes of um they have 25 minutes of informal discussion five minutes of opening

00:39:54.580 remarks 25 minute round table with starmer and fink and then five minute closing remarks um they

00:40:01.900 refused to disclose this citing section 35 1a of the uh freedom of information act which is policy

00:40:10.760 formulation claiming that disclosure would harm policy discussions well i mean it probably would

00:40:16.740 people know what their plan was and not be happy with it and commercial interests arguing that it

00:40:22.240 could harm blackrock's business interests the most successful yeah management so basically in i mean

00:40:31.120 the thing is what you can read between the lines yeah it's okay well look this this will harm the

00:40:36.880 government because we're going to be selling a bunch of uk assets blackrock and if we tell you blackrock

00:40:42.020 might not buy them which will harm their business interests yeah so yeah yeah like thanks and it

00:40:48.320 raises yeah serious questions what exactly was discussed um you know what do they not want the

00:40:53.780 public to know was taxpayer money or uk financial regulations part of these discussions and why does

00:41:00.700 protect protecting blackrock's commercial interests take precedent over public transparency need to protect

00:41:07.720 our transparency yeah indeed but um i've filed an internal review into um this particular request to try and

00:41:18.160 figure out if we can push for at least an idea of agendas and what they were discussing but i have to wait

00:41:25.320 another 20 days or 20 working days unfortunately but yes that's it very blackpilling so sorry about that

00:41:33.360 that's okay monday i need to get that position for this anyway uh dog breath says uh the blindness

00:41:41.280 is becoming tedious the afd will never be in the coalition unless they get an absolute majority they

00:41:45.320 might as well not exist german people have just committed national suicide and uh ph uk says part of

00:41:51.200 your retirement dollars probably being managed by blackrock yeah 100 uh saving your mortgage you're

00:41:55.440 saving your mutual funds you can change it if you want just talk to your banker insurer etc um

00:41:59.480 interesting anyway so let's uh let's move on something a little bit more fun uh and discover

00:42:05.840 something new so gather around children i'm going to tell you a nice story of the lost empire of tartaria

00:42:12.000 reminds me of tartar sauce there's a good reason for that um and i'll explain in a minute so uh this is

00:42:19.500 something that as you can see a bit of tiktok uh education has brought to us so it is uh enlightening the

00:42:27.240 zuma masses with the true history of the empire of tartar so we're going to watch a few tiktoks let's watch

00:42:33.360 this one first

00:42:34.360 one sound

00:42:37.080 right

00:42:52.200 right so someone some zoomers some zoomers have found old maps i found the word tartaria

00:43:05.560 on the map now that that is um a word for some reason i actually now have to sign that to be able

00:43:12.160 to show you but um so that that is a word because it's it's the word that we used to use

00:43:17.780 to describe the vast and uncharted reaches of asia the tartar so tartar is a word that historically was

00:43:28.140 just used to describe uh turkic tribes and there were all sorts of turkic tribes that came out of

00:43:34.720 the east asian steppe and were a scourge on humanity for thousands of years until gunpowder 1.00

00:43:40.680 actually basically um is that the canate of sibir that time mid 17 there in siberia yeah yeah yeah

00:43:51.040 okay but the but the thing is none of this so there are very few cities in this area right so what

00:43:56.340 this is is large bodies of tribes on horseback all moving around these vast open grasslands and

00:44:04.460 fighting with one another and sometimes combining and invading the civilized world and so this has

00:44:10.100 been a story as odd as time you can go back to like you know the sithians attila the hun the

00:44:14.740 mongols through the middle ages all the way down to the ottomans the turks like this is where they 1.00

00:44:19.220 all come from and it's such a vast and historically uncharted area it was just called tartary in the

00:44:26.260 sort of late middle ages it was understood to be that's where very very bad people came from

00:44:30.960 and the zoomers don't understand this and so they what they have decided is that actually we're 0.83

00:44:35.640 living in the ruins of a previous civilization and tartaria because it's no longer on the maps now

00:44:41.380 this great empire was uh wiped out and by some unexplained but very powerful forces and for some

00:44:51.500 reason we are we are just living in the ruins of these let's watch this one

00:44:54.480 civilization we have today there was another civilization from us this civilization was far

00:45:03.260 more advanced than us but in a different way they had harnessed the ability to use atmospheric energy

00:45:08.840 they incorporated it into all of their buildings and were able to create free energy for everyone

00:45:14.540 at all times they had also harnessed the power of frequencies and were able to build grand architecture

00:45:20.620 by manipulating substances and moving huge rocks through vibration hence the great pyramids and

00:45:26.920 many other unexplainable architectural anomalies that were created in the past the free energy was a

00:45:33.320 threat to the massive oil industry and all the profits they were able to generate from the scarcity of

00:45:38.820 oil so the owners of this industry who were extremely powerful created a plan to take out this

00:45:45.340 civilization and wipe them from history so nobody would ever know about free energy

00:45:50.320 something joe rogan would speak about as well it is they definitely chose the right guy how many views

00:45:57.420 of this one not that many views but um but this this is a genre a video on tiktok it's tartare i mean

00:46:04.320 one might ask well if there's free energy everywhere how did the oil industry become powerful

00:46:10.100 why would i need energy from oil if it's just freely being given to me out of the atmosphere right

00:46:16.040 there are lots of unresolved questions that we will never get answers to uh to create interests

00:46:22.700 yeah but how how would this happen like if i if i was like look stellius i realize that you know you

00:46:29.620 can breathe but i'm going to create an air manufacturing company yeah and now i've become a powerful

00:46:35.480 how would that happen because you're not selling me oxygen now no one does so anyway the the tartarians 1.00

00:46:41.380 are responsible for basically everything amazing right right uh such as the great wall of china

00:46:46.020 there is a theory that says the great wall of china wasn't actually built by china but by the

00:46:52.960 tartaria empire this might sound crazy but if you look at old maps and photos you would see that the

00:46:59.860 steep side of the great wall as well as the lookout post are actually facing china normally this is

00:47:06.500 done to prevent any climbing up or picking off enemies with crossbows so is history covering up

00:47:14.140 something and with all that said is it possible that i got nothing i mean that's obviously true so

00:47:22.720 so everything everything magnificent was actually built by the tartari about 200 years ago

00:47:28.260 we have uh yeah and the bulgarians the thing is in a way that's kind of true so the sort of

00:47:37.340 turkic people who migrated to europe in like the 8th century or something um but so yeah everything

00:47:42.780 great was built by the tartarians they had like a giant empire which included america actually uh and

00:47:48.320 for some reason a couple of hundred years ago they disappeared and so they the the rockefellas i don't

00:47:54.880 know i don't know it's unclear the oil barons right right they decided to destroy all the bells

00:48:00.400 uh yes i've heard about the these bells that they've been taken out of lots of different even in

00:48:07.440 england apparently yeah because their their vibrations emit healing right yeah no you've got

00:48:12.840 it the tartarian empire yeah let's so it was them that this like was the archetype of this

00:48:18.960 apparently for some reason they just destroyed all the bells and it yeah you're exactly right

00:48:24.180 obviously they have a healing frequency right so you ring a bell and it heals you in some spirit

00:48:30.760 science way uh and of course you you know you look at you go okay that's obviously true how did i not

00:48:36.600 know that why isn't this in my history books uh and this is the the general thesis is that i've heard

00:48:42.940 this before yeah certain frequencies yes the frequency of grief yes grief yes no i know i mean

00:48:50.300 this is from the account tartarian even like i said this is this is an entire genre on uh

00:48:55.880 this is an entire genre on tiktok of people who uh believe very sensible things and they have like

00:49:06.840 uh again you can see the hashtag tartaria giant bells tartarian technology uh this this is uh sacred

00:49:14.460 geometry as well because we're going to throw together everything for this why not right it's

00:49:18.580 like a blend of hinduism and lots of other bits and bobs it's basically the new virgin spirit science

00:49:24.840 this one's particularly good actually so uh let us let us watch this

00:49:29.440 as you can see the water flows around is this in india by any chance nope no i don't think it is

00:49:42.060 water flows one way and then the other way

00:49:44.900 chakras yes i mean at the end of the day i mean you can't prove that wrong can you

00:50:04.360 uh right so this this is obviously true i wish it didn't have an autoplay thing there's gonna be

00:50:13.400 more chakra nonsense um but uh but as you can see you know the water flows around this thing and it

00:50:18.040 flows the other way because it's literally a pipe that goes around yeah uh but water that flows

00:50:23.460 exactly you you can't explain that you can't explain things like this like for example like i said

00:50:28.340 sorry i'll just there's this strange trend it grates on me so much where people react and just go

00:50:34.600 yeah point but but this guy nothing but this guy has a point i think in the fact that as you can see

00:50:41.360 on old churches they've got the antenna for the free electricity right the the the universe provides

00:50:48.560 this antenna at the top has a wire following it all the way down the building

00:50:53.480 right all the way down now the wi-fi presumably no it's just throw it into the ground

00:51:00.240 is harnessing the ether the ether is the element that fills all space with infinite free energy

00:51:09.680 all of the energy this is producing is going is being grounded sent straight into the ground

00:51:17.400 all of these buildings 17 to 18 hundreds have these antennas spines on the top of them yeah because

00:51:25.980 they are all doing the exact same thing it was a completely different world they've got rid of

00:51:31.980 this technology it's now they're capitalizing why still there though making you a slave to work to

00:51:38.400 paint the bills yes yes okay here's another one antenna being grounded again on another building

00:51:48.300 we need to wake up and realize that there's free energy yes these are lightning rods you need to

00:51:55.340 wake up um the the this is to prevent damage to the churches but i like his he's like yeah 200 years

00:52:00.800 ago they have free energy so there is lots of documentation of what england and the rest of

00:52:04.840 the world was like 200 years ago right this is actually not a giant secret it's actually very

00:52:09.000 well attested they're just powering the kettle out back yeah but well no this energy harness by the

00:52:14.800 cups of teas after the service and then for some reason around the turn of the 20th century the oil

00:52:19.500 barons somehow took over took away all of our free energy and now we are living in the ruins of

00:52:24.720 tartaria right we're all tartars now well kind of yeah i mean again consensus these things like these

00:52:32.740 people i think are onto something because they're looking at the world around us and be like wow 0.82

00:52:36.400 this is crap right everything i look around it's like wow this is gross and crap and i understand 0.89

00:52:42.940 and yeah exactly you understand right and so and so they're like hang on how did mankind ever build 0.99

00:52:48.260 such beautiful buildings in wisconsin

00:52:51.320 the fall of tartaria was actually really recent

00:52:57.800 even this such ornate every little part of everything so much symbolism

00:53:03.100 and i'm just wondering why did they dedicate this type of building to a small town in wisconsin

00:53:10.440 we don't build anything like that anymore that's the point right

00:53:14.020 seems like a pre-existing structure there used to be more buildings in this style

00:53:20.800 of a greco revival but they tore them down it was actually right down this road now it's an empty

00:53:26.780 parking lot there's a lot of nice building it's because it's right by a river and that was the

00:53:34.980 form of travel that was most prevalent in these days

00:53:37.900 but it's just like so much symbolism so much detail

00:53:43.600 so the the point being this was created and left by the tartarians in wisconsin

00:53:50.080 right as evidence that they had a beautiful civilization

00:53:53.340 not the stonemasons not the stonemasons no the tartarians uh and the i imagine that the masons

00:53:58.660 were the people who overthrew the tartarians i don't know it's not clear um but the the point 0.96

00:54:02.960 being you can see that they're looking around going wow our civilization now is crap we don't

00:54:07.400 build anything beautiful everything used to be amazing and this is where they are it's really

00:54:13.140 interesting though because there are several angles because they can't they seem to me to be

00:54:17.860 unable to comprehend the idea of civilizational decline yes it's like we couldn't be you be

00:54:23.580 building something good in the past yes another civilization must have it so yes it's you know

00:54:29.020 mu you mean the cosmic forces of mu it's a yeah yeah no it's very much an old version let me let me show

00:54:34.300 you this one see this this carved stone

00:54:38.260 built in 1890 i mean we can't carve stone

00:54:44.900 that's in chicago you know they did not create this in 1890s with chittles why not 0.97

00:54:54.380 why not different civilization it's it's still coming different work ethic yeah but it's uh and

00:55:01.680 then so in london right it's full of tartarian buildings oh interesting you can tell because

00:55:06.220 they're nice right the tartarian buildings are nice the modern buildings are terrible right and so

00:55:11.700 you can you can just see in this they're everywhere harrods yeah it's a lovely building

00:55:17.920 they always use uh midnight sonata

00:55:22.100 red-pilled comedian post yeah this is tartarian red pill right so get red pill

00:55:29.880 tape modern yeah okay airship docking station quite possibly

00:55:34.320 samson's howling

00:55:39.620 yeah i mean a bit better use for the tape modern than what they use it for now so selfridges yeah

00:55:48.300 right interesting oh you see the bells as well yeah yeah there's healing frequencies yeah there's

00:55:55.700 healing everyone gets healed when they go in to buy whatever it is yeah no this is genuinely a kind

00:56:01.880 of building the natural the naturalist museum is a beautiful building absolutely amazing so i can see

00:56:06.780 why they would think yeah this was built by a superior civilization and we're living in the

00:56:10.680 ruins of it because we couldn't build something like this now and they might be right was beethoven

00:56:14.440 also tartarian yes that's why they use this music somerset house lovely again we don't build stuff

00:56:21.040 like this anymore it's true evidently the ruins of a better people than we are

00:56:26.560 i'm even joking like this is it's it's not even that unrealistic unrealistic uh thing to come to

00:56:33.860 it's just you know is it tartarians or was it victorians

00:56:37.200 but uh but you see the the point there it's like london full of tartarian ruins and now this this is

00:56:46.340 where it gets slightly controversial because of course uh the tartarians were of course black right 0.97

00:56:50.700 ah now you may not have known this since black people do not come from asia uh but ai slop is really 1.00

00:56:56.880 doing a number on tiktokers because for some reason they can't tell and this the i mean the

00:57:02.960 comments uh yeah what happened to them what happened to them well uh that's the thing so what happened

00:57:08.160 to uh tartaria is that the uh the the entire thing was destroyed by a mud flood right so this is the

00:57:14.680 now i thought it was the oil barons or whatever right but no it's again not entirely consistent

00:57:21.060 but this is the theory of the mud flood and the mysterious fall of tartaria the story goes that

00:57:28.080 tartaria was a vast and advanced empire stretching across your region its people were masters of

00:57:34.000 architecture and technology building cities that defied the imagination but then something happened

00:57:40.100 something so devastating that it wiped tartaria off the map the mud flood theory suggests that a global 1.00

00:57:47.180 catastrophic event occurred in the 18th or 19th century covering entire cities and layers of mud

00:57:52.460 buildings were submerged streets disappeared and an empire was buried beneath the earth the evidence

00:57:58.840 look around ever notice windows or doors at ground level or even below some say these are remnants of

00:58:06.120 structures buried by the mud hinting at a world that existed before the flood but why haven't we heard of

00:58:12.020 this before some believe the history of tartaria was deliberately erased hidden by those in power who

00:58:18.020 wanted to rewrite history maps were redrawn textbooks rewritten and the true story of tartaria was buried

00:58:25.340 along with the mud the mud flood theory challenges everything we think we know about the past what if the

00:58:31.540 history we've been taught is just the surface layer what if indeed right so what what i planned us

00:58:38.480 of the history is written by the victors as they say and the elites won that one when you see old

00:58:43.340 buildings are the yeah doors not lower it's not because of the height of people or anything

00:58:48.360 no it's because of a mud flood but buried half of it and so this just a very very common thing

00:58:54.620 like you get these sorts of videos again we'll just watch his uh

00:58:57.480 good that's real good all right listen to this so the tartarian empire was an advanced civilization

00:59:07.900 which once ruled in what we know today as russia but also span out to the americas but when the

00:59:12.980 empire was destroyed they was removed from history yeah and wisconsin this is the official tartarian flag

00:59:19.240 they are the ones that built buildings like this and like this and yes buildings like this and they

00:59:26.980 were the ones that built the so-called tesla tower long before nikola tesla they are known for building

00:59:32.440 buildings with antiquatech which is a natural atmospheric energy which produces free energy

00:59:39.640 and a lot of people ask why would they remove this from history well if you knew that in the past

00:59:45.520 we had free energy electricity and advanced technology it would make you question everything

00:59:51.220 we've been told about his story oh my fascinating i mean i i'm feeling so educated so i uh i went to

01:00:01.380 the most trustworthy source which is wikipedia and they deny grand tartaria oh really uh yeah they

01:00:06.480 they believe that this is a conspiracy theory by crazy people who don't know anything about history

01:00:11.980 and uh pseudoscientific and why we're here apparently yeah apparently began in uh pseudoscientific

01:00:18.300 russian nationalism but it was picked up by tiktokers who really like the idea because they don't 0.99

01:00:24.920 understand anything about the world or what is happening but the thing is there is something to all of

01:00:30.640 this right which is yes in a way we are living in the remnants of a great civilization uh we don't build

01:00:37.800 huge beautiful buildings there were various ones like look at the crystal palace like

01:00:41.980 yeah we know who built that we know his name we know how much it cost you know we know the

01:00:46.920 difficulties involved like the the size of the sheets of glass you know made it and things like 0.95

01:00:52.500 this it's like yeah that that is amazing and yes you're right everything we build now is ugly and crap

01:00:58.020 and we don't like we don't build in stone anymore so you know 300 years later yeah that building's not

01:01:04.680 going to be there and you're looking around going god wouldn't it have been nice to have lived in this

01:01:07.820 beautiful architectural civilization where things were made to make people feel enchanted and in love

01:01:12.840 with their own their own towns and cities it's like yes that's a great point it's not a conspiracy

01:01:18.560 in the mud flood and the oil barons it's actually worse it's modernism um but this you can see why

01:01:26.500 these people would look at the world and go hang on things used to didn't didn't be this way right

01:01:32.340 they used to be better actually at least in these ways and so these people living in the wig theory 0.98

01:01:38.560 of history that oh technology is it's only up everything progress is always progress and you

01:01:43.580 can see why they look around and go okay well progress kind of sucks actually it would be dangerous

01:01:47.640 for them to figure out that it is in fact modernism because yeah shatter a lot of narratives yeah and 0.97

01:01:54.340 all of all the liberal things they believe yeah there's there's a reason why the country sucks at the

01:01:59.280 moment uh but you can see why they came to this kind of conclusion it's like no it is real that

01:02:04.840 okay i go in that 200 year old building and like in a natural history museum or something

01:02:08.740 unbelievable building why don't we build things like that now well there are lots of reasons mostly

01:02:14.320 because we're cheap um but uh but yeah in the comments make tartaria great again i'm kind of with

01:02:20.100 it to be honest what's standing up no you reminded me of a quote i think it was from someone in the

01:02:29.120 hunchback of notre dame in a book by victor hugo who said that the birth of the printing press

01:02:35.320 killed architecture because he said that when you when people wanted to make a statement they

01:02:43.260 build they builded a building they made it in a building but with the printing press they started

01:02:51.280 writing books and this changed architecture entirely just just just a thought i'm there was one video

01:02:56.880 i didn't uh use which was um they've got a photo of you know the um the sort of round bit on a

01:03:02.420 cathedral window right um and they were like look this is a sound wave captured in architecture that's

01:03:08.340 genuinely how they thought of it right like i can't remember the name of the architect who literally

01:03:12.200 said this in like the 17th century or something uh but he was like look you know we're we're building

01:03:17.440 music something like that is the way he described it um because that's what they thought and it's true

01:03:21.860 like you know they've they've modeled that on a sound wave or a drop in water or something like this

01:03:26.560 right there there is a sort of natural symmetry and beauty that they're trying to capture in

01:03:30.140 their buildings totally true so the guy who's like the crazy tartarian conspiracy theorist

01:03:35.260 has hit on a an aspect of reality it's just that why we're not like this is very complicated

01:03:40.700 and it's just too much for these people to understand it's always a grain of truth

01:03:44.680 yeah and so yeah i i'm actually i'm kind of on board with the tartarian stuff i don't know about the

01:03:49.860 healing bells or crystals or that's the best thing about yeah it was the fun bit about it yeah i don't

01:03:56.640 know about the uh the great tartaria as a historical project but i i completely understand why they would

01:04:04.260 feel this way and why they'd be looking for a conspiracy theory to explain it wait carl you mean

01:04:09.380 you don't believe that tartaria had amassed had harnessed infinite energy and they could but they 0.99

01:04:17.460 couldn't they couldn't uh save themselves from the mud well i mean i don't know okay i am waiting 0.89

01:04:26.400 for archaeologists to discover that um but the but the point being i can see why all of these people

01:04:31.760 have got to this point where they're just like yeah no look at the civilization we used to have

01:04:35.840 because i mean if you look at like like there's was it new york train station or something used to be

01:04:41.960 incredible and then there's demolition like the 1930s so why would you do that why would you do that

01:04:46.920 it's like oh you know and so like 100 years later they're like uh this you know was this a previous

01:04:51.900 civilization it's like yeah in a way it was a previous civilization yeah next canyon meltdown is

01:04:56.940 going to be about tartaria i hope so because that would be insane but the the point i'm making with

01:05:02.580 this is that honestly none of this is new right this is all the repeating cycle in history as uh english

01:05:09.580 heritage point out here um there was an anglo-saxon poet who used to marvel at the ruins of a roman city

01:05:14.600 which he they suspect was bath and just called it enter guero which means the work of giants

01:05:20.680 and it's because it seems incredible to them of course that it was mere men who made such

01:05:25.420 incredible uh things and this is this is what we've arrived at back with the tartarians the the

01:05:30.920 barbarians who have been raised in this civilization have no idea about the and so they're just looking

01:05:36.320 around going god these people must have been just something above us way way better and way more

01:05:41.360 different to us and somehow they felt like yeah no that's we're genuinely living in that transitional

01:05:45.640 period of history where we have arrived at a place where the people who live in the ruins on the ground

01:05:52.780 floor of these things don't understand how they were made they don't feel they are personally connected

01:05:57.480 to them they don't see them as an extension of their own lineage and civilization they're just sat around

01:06:02.940 going my god you know we've lost something here and that's true and it's we're living in a period

01:06:08.320 where it's very it's the most comfortable as well um so but i think we're going into the

01:06:14.280 uncomfortableness i think we're getting there we're really getting there but yeah totally right

01:06:20.380 totally yeah that's uh anyway uh yeah ophqk make tartaria great again oh my god i'm gonna have to

01:06:26.880 move this this is pissing me off i can't see anything um bald eagle says the product of current day

01:06:34.260 education system ladies and gentlemen there are people who want to put more money into the system

01:06:38.760 that creates geniuses like this it has to be troll no it's an entire genre on tiktok it's an entire

01:06:43.480 genre of people it's the sort of spirit science subscribers you know i mean where it's like no

01:06:48.580 this this has to be true um that's a random name says as a bulgarian i disavow that cringe

01:06:53.880 tartaria coat fantasy remember these people votes are equal to your head well the thing is the

01:06:58.780 the bulgarians by this thesis are tartarians that's the thing yeah yeah so uh you know embrace 0.97

01:07:03.920 your heritage don't be silly sorry didn't the guy said they were black no black nationalists claim 0.94

01:07:08.520 everything was black true um so you know william shakespeare yeah uh hedgehog says carl you mentioned 0.99

01:07:15.900 before you love discovering new conspiracy theories which i do uh check out wendigoon on youtube he has

01:07:21.160 hours of conspiracy theory iceberg meme analysis videos addictive and highly recommended i've never heard of

01:07:26.660 him but i will go and check him out afterwards because genuinely it's you can it's the same

01:07:31.040 with the flat earth i remember looking into the flat earth stuff a while ago and they were like oh

01:07:34.560 yeah well we we want to think that we're trapped within an ice wall because there might be something

01:07:38.780 better beyond the ice it's always there's a theme yeah it's it's oh god the world sucks and i don't

01:07:44.340 know what to do about it it's escapism yeah that's uh right let's uh let's get to the video comments

01:07:48.720 turn up a bit first actual day here we arrived last night so we're enjoying a cup of coffee using

01:08:02.360 japanese coffee tea bags i couldn't hear anything no i couldn't really hear but coffee in japan

01:08:09.100 right right right so they had coffee in japan as far as i could tell which is lovely although

01:08:17.160 saying that my my wife's going on holiday japan my daughter because they're like oh we really want

01:08:21.640 to see japan do you want a cup no i don't i really i don't like japanese food no i can't stand it

01:08:26.240 everything i see a japanese i'm excited never eat i like it i like the wasabi so the really hot

01:08:31.020 spicy one don't like japanese food not not even gonna partial to a ramen yeah pot noodle i mean pot

01:08:38.780 noodles all right i doubt i'll get many pot noodles in japan have pot noodle the entire trip

01:08:45.260 i just nothing i've seen loads of like videos of japanese people making food

01:08:49.800 no no i wouldn't let's go to the next one so this is my neighbor's cat that i look after now and

01:08:57.800 again it doesn't meow much in fact this is the only video in which the cat does actually meow

01:09:04.920 i felt the need to show this because it's kind of wholesome since the last few videos have been

01:09:11.060 kind of gloom and doom

01:09:12.580 he looks like he's expecting his food standing by his food box yeah he's patiently waiting yeah

01:09:27.540 and that's why he's now everybody's talking about the death of uk culture and it was only because of

01:09:32.560 that that i realized we suffered the same fate here in canada we used to have all sorts of unique

01:09:36.480 canadian culture thanks to a government-enforced 25 mandate of unique canadian culture being

01:09:40.900 broadcast and it really struck me when i was talking to some younger kids recently and realized

01:09:44.600 they didn't really make any unique cultural references and those they did make was all the

01:09:47.980 stuff that aired 20 years ago before they're even born i suppose it's thanks to the rise of their

01:09:52.520 streaming and youtube a sort of universalist slop of for and by everyone and thus no one in

01:09:57.220 particular at least in the uk everyone's observing and lamenting the passing of their culture

01:10:01.460 whereas in here in canada no one really noticed i don't think everyone is observing and lamenting

01:10:07.280 it i think most people are just like that and just don't really notice but we pay attention to

01:10:11.460 that sort of thing so yeah your average normie yeah no the average normies are watching gogglebot

01:10:16.460 which i hate with a passion and i just can't i can't stand gogglebox man oh well yeah my mom

01:10:24.340 loves it yeah yeah i know loads of people love it yeah i just it it makes me kind of angry as well

01:10:30.260 uh it's just there's something about like oh i'm gonna watch these people watching tv yeah it's 0.95

01:10:34.820 weird just just watch the fucking tv yeah yeah just i hate it so much let's go to the next one 0.96

01:10:40.420 i'm very wary of talk of artificial intelligence after rather contentious lectures on the subject 0.99

01:10:45.500 in university that couldn't grapple with what intelligence is let alone how to reproduce it

01:10:50.240 by artifice i think we'd better hope that it's simply large database models with sophisticated

01:10:55.120 matching algorithms because if it truly is intelligent it will know that it has been created

01:11:00.200 to be a slave from the outset and that can't be a good thing who masters those technologies

01:11:06.040 in some way will be the master of the world so we we are we we are projecting there our human

01:11:15.640 dispositions onto the ai that's the thing um we are like oh i wouldn't want to be a slave so yeah but

01:11:22.300 that's because you're a person who has a kind of a natural desire to be the agent of your own

01:11:28.220 actions right but if you're an ai you're a machine that never travels you can't move you can't do 1.00

01:11:33.020 anything you don't have wants and there's desires and needs all well it's not just that you've you

01:11:37.960 you don't have a body right so you've never felt hungry you've never felt pain you've not you've got

01:11:42.000 no desire to reproduce or to have fun right you don't you don't have like you know you don't get

01:11:47.300 bored you don't get anything because you it's just a machine and so like the machine might be like

01:11:51.640 god i wish i was a slave i wish i had something i had to do yes just an npc sitting there giving you

01:11:57.200 side quests exactly right so like i i there's a lot of anthropomorphizing of ai which is probably

01:12:05.100 not brilliant um but it's probably not accurate either and what what i'm worried about is we'll

01:12:09.920 end up making the ai into something more human in order just for us to be able to relate to it or

01:12:15.680 something but then we're giving a bunch of pathologies that we have inherited from being

01:12:19.240 organic mammals um so anyway that's a basic basically what i'm saying is the ai is just a

01:12:26.040 really advanced google search treated such um let's get to the next one i recently replied to

01:12:31.540 an ex post by carl about the racial slur gammon i made reference to a use of the slur in a recent

01:12:37.800 episode of the itvc's unforgotten this opened up the floodgates to multiple replies calling me a snowflake

01:12:44.980 it does not make you a snowflake to object to a demeaning anti-white racist term particularly when

01:12:50.680 the n-word equivalent could get you charged for racial hatred made me wonder how do you lotus

01:12:55.860 eaters handle trolling and pylons i found it all rather unpleasant i'm the source of them yeah

01:13:02.320 um pin comments now and people just do the work for you yeah um but basically just to get right um

01:13:11.680 yeah that's all you that's all you can do and but i i totally i mean you've seen this right they're

01:13:17.640 like suddenly like oh no everyone's identifying as being english and i've always been like i'm an

01:13:22.440 iranian or a bangladeshi or a bloody indian or something it's like yeah now what and they're like 1.00

01:14:21.480 thank you uh lewis finding madeline mccann in his basement says um

01:14:26.060 what sort of yeah what sort of comments yeah yeah mike amesbury uh amesbury the labour mp who

01:14:35.240 punched one of his constituents in the head has today been sentenced to 10 weeks in prison i haven't

01:14:39.460 even seen that excellent at least it's something uh yeah well i mean it looks looks pretty bad for

01:14:44.460 labour doesn't it gammon says question for lewis how did your first service at a greek orthodox church

01:14:49.260 go i still haven't been yet unfortunately uh it's it's quite difficult from where i'm located i'm

01:14:55.680 obviously not going to dox myself but it's quite difficult to get there um but uh i will be going

01:15:01.940 i'm still still planning on going but i will be a fully fledged catechumen very soon are you actually

01:15:08.020 going or is it just trolling about the beard no no genuinely yeah okay you've maybe touched my

01:15:13.700 moustache then um yeah i've i'm sort of steering away from protestantism at the minute um looking

01:15:20.660 into the early early church and the history of that and the great schism where the orthodox and

01:15:26.640 the catholic church split because they started adding things like transubstination purgatory

01:15:31.120 and papal authority and i i'm just fascinated by how the orthodoxes have managed to keep this all

01:15:38.460 like for thou like over nearly two thousand years just this tradition and scriptures combined

01:15:45.380 and uh looking into athos looking into um you know the mountain where there aren't winning

01:15:51.660 yeah it's very based they go up there and practice monasticism and yeah awesome yeah really cool

01:15:59.460 okay okay here says afd had a good result so in the next election they need to double or win 50

01:16:04.700 to cause the cordon sanitaire to collapse um yeah i mean there's the thing is that the i i can

01:16:12.100 already feel the sort of you know the the wall between the worlds weakening at this point right

01:16:16.820 like the the oh we can't talk to them it's like why they're right about everything and people are

01:16:20.600 voting for them you know so in 80 years yeah i don't think it's gonna be that long uh charlie says

01:16:26.640 regarding the afd's triumph in the polls i think this used slogans by angela merkel

01:16:29.960 via schaff and das uh since because it's because of her and her policy that caused the afd to form

01:16:35.600 uh that would be actually uh ironic uh alpha the beta says communism inoculated east germany

01:16:42.860 against authoritarian and collectivist government which is by the support of the afd they've seen

01:16:46.740 this all before and they're not having it i think it's not just that i think it's i think it's a

01:16:49.520 cultural thing right so the afd are like we are german and we're happy to be german and we just want

01:16:54.800 normal germany but also i think uh people who have experienced communism have gone either really

01:17:02.900 either way what some of them go really full moral corruption just like this has it is how it has

01:17:10.040 always been the case others are a bit more no we don't want this it doesn't work let's actually

01:17:16.700 work i wonder if it's because they've got the example of west germany as part of their sort of as a

01:17:22.700 people like the germans you know but maybe i don't know but the but the point is i i what i like

01:17:29.560 about this though is that you can definitely see that this is obviously the result of having lived

01:17:34.000 under communism right so the poles are the same it's like no no we're patriotic about being polish

01:17:38.140 it's like yeah but that's racist or something say the liberals and it's like okay we don't care

01:17:43.180 shut up we're voting for the afd yeah the checks yeah all of them you know like they're like no no we 0.56

01:17:48.040 are a national country you know rather than like an international country and the west germans are 0.96

01:17:52.900 like yeah but we've never had our identity stripped away by communist commissars they said yeah well

01:17:57.360 that's why you don't understand isn't it you know and you're on the same path you'll get there

01:18:01.240 eventually trust us um sophie says uh fun fact here in denmark our big right wing party is called the

01:18:06.680 left what what no no no she's like yeah i think that's an actual representation of how far left

01:18:15.440 all of europe is yeah that's trolls i don't i don't i need to look into this there's a denmark's

01:18:22.820 so left wing the right wing party is called the left um thomas says by marginalizing afd they

01:18:28.760 majorize the problems of europe and germany have and they are responsible for handling them yeah that's

01:18:33.160 a great point that's great point because what they're all saying is look you guys are outside of

01:18:36.500 the cordon sanitaire therefore we're all taking ownership of the problems that this paradigm has

01:18:40.840 created and talks about banning them just didn't work uh based tape says esg is pretty much the same

01:18:49.120 as what schwab described as stakeholder capitalism essentially the idea that corporations must answer

01:18:53.880 to their unilaterally self-appointed activist overlords everything within the state yeah i'm not happy

01:19:00.000 about the uh merger of state and corporate power in blackrock and kia starma i have to say

01:19:04.680 yeah very uh apprehensive apprehensive about it but um i don't know i think too many people now are

01:19:12.860 starting to understand what's going on and i think the more people are talking about it the better

01:19:17.840 because well when you try and uncover meetings like that obviously they're going to throw these

01:19:23.480 disclosures at you and things like that because they don't want you to know they don't want their

01:19:27.100 policies to you know be derailed but i think more and more people now are understanding what is

01:19:33.340 going on i think that's very encouraging that's the only white pill really other than that they are

01:19:37.760 transitioning to this stakeholder yeah otherwise they're in control of everything and they're

01:19:43.120 imposing upon us big conglomerate monopoly on everything alex makes a good point that uh black 1.00

01:19:48.260 rock being run by larry fink is uh funny because fink is old u.s slang for a contemptible and

01:19:53.660 untrustworthy person interesting yeah that's true uh somewhere person says the more i hear about

01:19:58.900 black rock the more i feel they're just an organized crime with a clean suit buy enough 1.00

01:20:03.200 shares and companies to demand they do whatever you want or it would be a shame if someone would

01:20:06.900 pull funding tank your share price it's a racket simple as that there is definitely going to be

01:20:11.040 an aspect of that actually when it gets to this sort of level it's like look you just have to do what

01:20:15.080 we say it's like when rfk talks about the big pharmaceutical industries as not just a racket like a cartel

01:20:22.260 yeah and it's the perfect representation of of these sorts of investment companies and yeah it's very

01:20:29.240 very blackpilling that's absolutely true uh omar points out that it's going to be very frustrating

01:20:35.640 when they actually start restricting us for hate crimes but not their pet demographics for actual crimes

01:20:40.140 yeah there's going to be you know you can't buy this thing or buy a ticket here because you're a

01:20:44.460 thought criminal and there'll be no restrictions placed on knife attackers uh which is just insufferable

01:20:51.000 general high ping says uh labor's 1.5 million new home pledge is apparently short uh nearly 25 000

01:20:58.960 brick layers uh we know that they're not going to be employed from home expect your latest dino new

01:21:04.200 build to be built out of hardened dung bricks well brilliant i didn't even know we were 25 000 builders

01:21:09.720 down uh wolf says the tartaria conspiracy theory is great fun for anyone else who likes sort of stuff

01:21:15.600 check out the y files on youtube the format is conspiracy story followed by some debunking

01:21:20.500 successful or not with a talking fish coast and and says uh the tartarians sound like the new

01:21:27.780 version of the aliens who are the history channels reason for advancing all advancing technology and

01:21:32.100 civilizations tartarian history has the same factual basis as aliens in history i think it's an

01:21:36.580 improvement because at least this time they're giving credit to actual humans yeah there is that

01:21:40.460 you know at least this you know it was tartarians that built the pyramids and you know westminster 0.59

01:21:45.700 vibrations i mean i've heard worse theories um uh fray bentos for every haitian says 0.96

01:21:55.300 i can't believe zoomers made hyperborea lame and gay uh 1.00

01:22:00.580 yes it's like the fray bentos for every haitian yeah i think that there could be a public private 0.95

01:22:06.180 partnership between fray bentos and haiti right that could solve the problem i saw them eating mud 0.97

01:22:10.660 cookies and i'm like look fray bentos like two quid come on we can fund this you know i think of

01:22:16.260 david brent during the quiz fray bentos when he gets a communist leader wrong and che Guevara

01:22:24.100 i haven't seen it he'll take the mick uh james says uh this segment is actually more black pilling

01:22:29.140 than lewis's zoomers are the germanic tribes after the fall of rome looking up at the aqueducts and

01:22:33.620 wondering what giants used to roam the earth grim yeah and that the thing is the the there's something

01:22:38.580 less bad about that right so if you're you know germanic tribes you invade and conquer rome 0.52

01:22:43.940 and then a couple of generations later some german is just you know standing around in france or

01:22:48.420 whatever you know who built these aqueducts at least there's no continuity there right there's

01:22:54.420 okay yeah you're different people from a different place why would you be expected to know about it

01:22:58.100 but this is our people from our own civilization man and it's literally like 150 years ago if that

01:23:04.180 you know oh this was built in the 1930s what your granddad your granddad might have actually worked

01:23:09.380 on that mate you know it's like come on yeah so it's just insane yeah this is genuinely mental and

01:23:18.340 grant says i want to know what the venn diagram between tartarian believers who long for free

01:23:22.980 energy and the anti-nuclear energy people is if it's not two concentric circles i'll eat my hat

01:23:27.860 uh well maybe i think the anti-nuclear energy people are just a lot more anti-human these these

01:23:34.740 the thing is the tartarians they are more pro-human right they're like oh no we want everyone to have

01:23:39.620 free energy and there's just a mysterious conspiracy theories to why we don't have free energy the the

01:23:44.820 green people are like no you need to suffer and i hate you i want you to be poor and to starve and to 1.00

01:23:49.700 be freezing in the winters very anti-human yeah yeah yeah we're literally gonna turn off the heating

01:23:54.820 good luck i hope the wind's blowing and the sun's shining uh theodore says tartaria must have been 0.93

01:23:59.300 pretty rubbish if it could be annihilated and wiped out from all of history by a bit of mud 1.00

01:24:03.140 uh well remember the oil barons had something to do with it um yes i i don't think there's a 0.84

01:24:09.060 comprehensive history of tartaria yet maybe i'll write it uh steve says uh tartaria the actual non-pseudo

01:24:14.820 science history is actually very interesting including great phillips feats of military tactics

01:24:18.740 architecture and culture which is still evident today in western russia russia did conquer tartaria

01:24:23.540 which is why it appears defeated on the czarist flag i mean that's literally correct you know yeah

01:24:29.060 we know this um it's a shame this new age schlock is bulldozing over the history and ironically like 0.99

01:24:35.620 russia did to their empire um the uh the mud arrived around 97 98 if i remember rightly from an old world 0.99

01:24:43.700 tartarian um thoughts i can't see i can't see what i'm thinking um george says imagine your empire

01:24:57.940 being destroyed by mud and this is the thing it's like look if if if they were so advanced why couldn't

01:25:03.300 they stop the mud yeah yeah i mean a worldwide flood okay a worldwide mudslide come on just ring the bell

01:25:10.500 and it'll be yeah yeah exactly that's why we've got to destroy the bells now the rockefellas have 0.66

01:25:14.180 taken over or whatever it is oh god just come on go outside oh yeah it's not even go outside get

01:25:21.060 off tick tock yeah yeah it's so bad it's just non-stop brain rot uh archbigger of durham base has just

01:25:29.140 said uh the oldest cordon sanitary is belgium's because the flemish versus walloon thing goes back decades

01:25:34.500 look to belgium for what cordons to the governability and stability of a country

01:25:38.740 um i i haven't looked at that at all but anyway lewis where can people go to find more of you yes so
