00:00:00.000
Hello, everyone. Welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Seaters. Today is Monday, the 3rd
00:00:06.320
of November, and this episode 1,287. I'm afraid I have some bad news and some good news. I'll
00:00:14.600
start with the good news. I'm joined by Brother Firas and Brother Luca. And the bad news is
00:00:19.680
everything that will follow. We are going to talk about the establishment wanting us
00:00:24.280
to suffer, Mexico being a failed state. And towards the end, I'm going to talk to you
00:00:29.260
about the genocide of Christians in Sudan and Nigeria. Right. So buckle up. This is
00:00:36.500
going to be one of the saddest podcasts that we have ever done. But we have to speak about
00:00:42.600
these issues because if we don't do, very few will. And we have to do it. So should we start
00:00:49.740
with the first step? Yes, let's do that. Let's do that. So I don't want to start immediately
00:00:57.000
with the train stabbings. I want to sort of talk about the environment before that.
00:01:04.240
On the 31st of October, we had calls for some kind of action to be taken after an asylum seeker
00:01:13.760
stabbed to death another immigrant, actually, Gurvinder Johal, in a bank branch. He just walked
00:01:22.000
into the bank branch, stabbed him on the 31st, on the 6th of May. And then on the 31st of October,
00:01:26.960
he was sentenced. And there's all kinds of talk about that. Then on the 2nd of November,
00:01:36.780
we had somebody in Glasgow basically going around assaulting girls. And one of the locals gives him
00:01:43.040
a talking to. But it's entirely pointless. You can see from the clip here that the man is
00:01:47.620
wasted, drunk, a wastrel. Nobody knows where he's from, but he's running around abusing random girls
00:01:56.900
in Glasgow city center. In New York, on the 31st of October, it came out that a man confessed to
00:02:06.580
raping a woman in New York. Now here, the York press says that they mention his name. They don't give
00:02:13.340
any details. But then in another article, they tell you that actually he's an illegal migrant.
00:02:19.820
He typically hangs around clubs, chases women wherever he can find them. And in this particular
00:02:26.380
incident, he takes a woman, a frog marches her into an alleyway or something, and then proceeds to rape
00:02:36.300
her. First, he pled not guilty. And then he changed his plea. But he had a partner and the partner wasn't
00:02:41.980
charged. I'll just say on the question of York as well. I think according to the last census of 2021,
00:02:49.900
York is one of the few cities in England that had been not untouched, but like was still had very
00:02:56.220
secure demographic, about 90% English. So to see this starting to pour into York is dreadful.
00:03:01.980
I lived in York for seven years, and it's a wonderful city. I will say though, that there was some
00:03:07.420
problem with spiking drinks. And I have heard, sadly, incidents of this sort, many times.
00:03:16.060
So also on the 31st of October, it came out that a man by the name Izzeddin, a Sheikh Suleyman,
00:03:25.980
was arrested because he was now in Britain as an illegal migrant. But he had been accused of
00:03:33.100
raping a child in Germany. And now he's being extradited. In Kent, in Faversham, a man goes around
00:03:43.820
saying that he wants to kill people, screaming Allahu Akbar, no particular details around him other
00:03:49.980
than the obvious. But he's running around Faversham with a big knife trying to kill whoever he can find.
00:03:58.460
In terms of police priorities, you see that the police made a chippy, remove benches,
00:04:14.380
I mean, if you can, if you can use benches as weapons, what else can you not use?
00:04:21.100
And then in Leeds, there was a pro-Palestine protest. And this guy climbs on top of a police
00:04:27.020
van with a Quran, yelling Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illallah, all of that stuff.
00:04:33.260
And it seems he or somebody around him in that riot had set a police van on fire.
00:04:39.100
These are all in the last couple of days. Like, I'm not even doing the full week.
00:04:42.860
I'm not even doing the full week. I'm just covering the last couple of days.
00:04:47.100
In Birmingham, you have a massive fight between what looks like a couple of transsexuals and a group
00:04:55.340
of migrants. And you see in this video that the migrants are going around using pretty big fireworks
00:05:03.100
and firing them at vehicles, police cars, whatever they can get their hands on.
00:05:09.180
And you can see that this is a massive risk of arson. And you can see that it quite easily,
00:05:14.140
a car could catch on fire. I won't show you the whole video, but you get the point.
00:05:19.580
You get the point. Also on the 31st, a man, Musleh al-Utaybi, is sentenced for,
00:05:29.580
or the news comes out that he's sentenced on the Thursday.
00:05:36.060
But earlier reports, we find out that actually he's an illegal migrant from Saudi Arabia,
00:05:43.100
and that he had been on the central line between Oxford Circus and Mile End,
00:05:53.420
Obviously, she didn't shout mate loud enough, as Sadiq Khan would have had to do.
00:05:57.900
Yeah. And then also on the 31st of October, it comes out that on the 21st of October,
00:06:05.500
a teenager had been raped in Clare Park in Haywards Heath.
00:06:15.900
This is just the news that came out between the 31st and today.
00:06:18.700
You know? And also, 31st of October, an asylum seeker is sent to jail for three years
00:06:41.580
The point is, three years for something of this sort is just…
00:06:45.580
It's just… Excuse me, it's just an F you to people.
00:06:56.380
Wayne Broadhurst had been murdered by a 22-year-old Afghan illegal asylum seeker.
00:07:04.540
Asylum seeker, I mean, that's the word that's doing a lot of heavy lifting.
00:07:08.220
So this is the context, just in the last week, of the incidents that have happened.
00:07:17.740
I just did a search for a couple of hours and this is what I could find.
00:07:22.540
I'm sure there's more. I'm sure there's incidents that are going to be reported
00:07:26.780
next week as having previously happened, etc., etc.
00:07:29.660
And you see this steady tempo, this endless tempo of one attack after the other,
00:07:39.580
I mean, is it really British people who are throwing around picnic benches
00:07:45.100
It doesn't really have any historical precedent.
00:07:47.900
The other thing as well, of course, that I would just like to say about this,
00:07:51.340
is the way that the state treats these types of events, which is just to say that if you have
00:07:58.940
something like, oh, I don't know, Mo Farah just won a race for England, right?
00:08:04.860
Or, oh, this immigrant just opened up this wonderful restaurant, right?
00:08:08.620
Then that is always regarded as, even if they are second generation, third generation,
00:08:14.460
it's used as an argument for how people of immigrant backgrounds are in rituals and it works.
00:08:21.660
These examples are not allowed to be used, according to the state, as examples of why
00:08:35.260
The very fact that crime data are not published with ethnicity is an admission that something is
00:08:43.020
going wrong because if that weren't the case, they would have concrete evidence and they would say,
00:08:49.500
hey, look, integration or a form of assimilation is working.
00:08:54.380
It is helping them lessening that they are well behaved helps to their integration.
00:09:06.220
So then on Saturday, in this environment of just steady attacks on girls, on women,
00:09:13.020
on men, on pretty much everybody, we get the stabbing on a train that was going from
00:09:28.380
And a few minutes after the train departs, this guy, Anthony Williams, goes around stabbing
00:09:39.020
But it turns out that he had spent his day also in a bit of a stabby mood.
00:09:47.020
In London, getting absolutely wasted, clearly doing nothing of benefit to other human beings,
00:10:16.300
He walks in and he's parading this knife and we have no idea what's going on,
00:10:20.380
but he gets reported to the police and nothing happens.
00:10:38.140
He gets tased and he asks the police to kill him.
00:10:44.300
He gets captured by the police and tased and he's asking the police to kill him.
00:10:53.580
The driver is commended, he's a veteran, he's commended for
00:10:57.820
quickly diverting the train and making sure that the police get on.
00:11:01.580
And another man actually gets in the way of the knife,
00:11:06.540
the man holding the knife and a young woman he was trying to stab.
00:11:13.020
As of now, there are five people still in hospital.
00:11:23.660
Two of them were supposed to be in life-threatening condition.
00:11:32.140
And the police are saying that there is no terrorist motive.
00:11:37.340
And we know that we're going to get the story about this being mental health.
00:11:45.660
No, he should be kept in some kind of secure hospital and paid for by the taxpayer for life.
00:11:52.860
When everybody knows that the reasonable thing to do with somebody who's too insane to not go
00:11:57.420
around trying to murder people is to hang them.
00:12:02.860
We know that the thing to do is obviously to hang somebody like that because
00:12:06.940
it turns out that he then assaulted a police officer after he got arrested.
00:12:12.220
And so on top of the 10 or 11 attempted murder charges that he's facing,
00:12:18.140
he's also facing a charge of aggravated bodily harm,
00:12:23.020
meaning that he did succeed in assaulting that officer after he was detained.
00:12:26.540
And meaning that this person has no control over himself and can't stop attacking people.
00:12:36.860
The police say that they sort of declared the Plato, the national code word for a marauding
00:12:44.940
terror attack. But then they were saying there is nothing to suggest that this is a terrorist
00:12:49.180
incident, meaning that the guy is just completely out of control.
00:13:02.860
And like many others like him who will just go around stabbing, stealing, doing evil for no obvious reason.
00:13:12.700
And the narrative now is about, is this illegal migration?
00:13:16.380
I didn't know the guy was born in Britain. A cat born in a barn is still a cat.
00:13:23.260
It doesn't change who you are. I say this as an immigrant myself without any sort of sensitivity.
00:13:31.100
But it is very much about immigration because certain groups are more prone to crime,
00:13:35.180
to schizophrenia, to mental illness, mental illness, uh, than, than others.
00:13:44.940
What I want to say is that very frequently, if the, if the guilty person, let's say in any kind
00:13:51.820
of incident is someone that the left doesn't consider oppressed, and it's an oppressor,
00:14:06.140
Because they say, far right, you far right people, I want you to shut up.
00:14:09.420
So when they don't do this, almost instantly, it means that it comes from a group that the left wants to
00:14:21.340
They were trying to come up with one and a half days or two days with the British born thing.
00:14:28.620
You knew he was ethnically foreign the moment that you saw British national in the headline.
00:14:34.060
And you knew that the minute they delayed announcing his ethnicity.
00:14:40.700
I mean, we sort of saw the example with the Liverpool, uh, car incident where they immediately
00:14:49.100
Now they're stuck and it took them 12, 16, 24 hours, whatever it did to actually release it.
00:14:55.820
He had stabbed someone earlier in the day on the DLR, but because it was only one person getting
00:15:05.980
And so he got away and then he proceeded to commit this attack.
00:15:11.020
And one eyewitness says, a girl says that he was coming to her and she said, uh, please, please don't.
00:15:25.020
The taxi driver who saw the guy getting arrested said that he was laughing
00:15:30.140
and he told the officers arresting him, the devil always wins.
00:15:36.140
So we have someone saying that he's essentially possessed by demons or that he's serving the
00:15:44.060
And you see the pattern constantly and you see this being repeated time and time and again.
00:15:49.260
At some point, at some point, we have to think of public safety and the public good.
00:15:56.140
And I'm entirely fed up with this woke nonsense that says that all we need is representation
00:16:02.380
of particular groups in the police force or something.
00:16:16.700
It's not to come up with constant excuses as to why they can't do it, which is what they are doing.
00:16:22.620
And so the police end up saying that what they're going to do now is to deploy a lot more police
00:16:31.980
to flood major stations and trains on the affected East Coast line and all over London and so on and so forth.
00:16:41.740
I mean, we know that this doesn't work from Germany.
00:16:45.660
And also, look at how the left has a tradition of saying individuals are not an island into themselves.
00:16:53.420
The same applies for trains and train stations.
00:16:55.820
If the entire country within which these train stations and trains operate and exist is going down
00:17:08.140
And just focusing on the trains and the stations is just micromanagement of decline.
00:17:12.140
It's just collective punishment of the innocent, i.e. the native people of this country,
00:17:17.260
because the state let in millions and millions of people who shouldn't be here,
00:17:21.900
wouldn't ask to be here, and now endanger us every day.
00:17:26.460
So the idiot shadow home secretary, Chris Philip, says that there should be a dramatic
00:17:33.660
increase in stop and search to take far more off knives on the street.
00:17:38.140
How about dramatic enforcement of the law or of immigration law or things of that nature?
00:17:49.660
And you've had this flood of illegal migrants whose children are going to be called British
00:17:57.420
Now, the parents of Anthony Williams may not have committed any crime
00:18:07.020
And if you see this flood of illegal migrants who are so accustomed to committing crime all the time,
00:18:14.220
and then their children become British because they've been given asylum or they've given refugee
00:18:19.100
or whatever it is, you can extrapolate that the crime that is going to happen in the future
00:18:35.580
Then he calls for a rollout of live facial recognition cameras.
00:18:40.940
London and Britain in general are probably the most surveyed societies in the world.
00:18:56.300
I mean, the news that we covered was just from 31 October.
00:19:00.220
Just news that was released on 31 October over about crimes that had been happening
00:19:07.740
Any law and any policy is as good as the will to enforce it.
00:19:12.140
So the number of cameras doesn't matter if there is no will to actually police the public.
00:19:21.900
And if some groups refuse the legitimacy of the police and tell you that they're oppressed
00:19:26.460
and that stop and search is racist and so on and so forth,
00:19:30.780
they're telling you we're not going to integrate and this isn't going to work.
00:19:35.340
So what are you wasting your time with instead of being honest about the problem?
00:19:41.340
Sorry, the only reason earlier on that I brought up
00:19:45.180
the fact that I've obviously used that particular train journey so often,
00:19:48.620
the Doncaster and London one, is also not so much to highlight myself, but also it's
00:19:54.220
you know, if ever my sister comes down to London,
00:19:58.300
you know, so that we can spend a day together or something, that's the line it gets.
00:20:01.900
And it's like, if my family had just got that train for whatever reason, you know,
00:20:09.260
And this is the thing is that you think it won't be, but it always surprises you.
00:20:13.580
You always Ariana Grande, pop concerts, trains from London to Doncaster, wherever.
00:20:26.060
There are places that are more likely than others.
00:20:29.340
But that doesn't take away from the fact now that because of the sheer treachery
00:20:38.620
So let's hear very intelligent thoughts from Kemi Bedenock.
00:20:44.700
Many people will be asking the same questions that I'm thinking of right now,
00:20:49.340
which is why is it that despite so much activity, so much done legislation to ban lives,
00:20:56.460
so much investment in mental health, so much more, we're seeing more and more violence on
00:21:07.740
I think we should wait until more facts emerge.
00:21:10.940
But there's clearly something going wrong in our society right now.
00:21:16.380
And let's hear Kemi Bedenock's answer to what's going on.
00:21:23.100
Thanks from Christ is King, somebody on X, a follower of ours.
00:21:30.620
Thanks to the diaspora of the 70s, we are experiencing exactly what Bedenock has escaped.
00:21:39.420
Lagos was a place where almost everything seemed broken,
00:21:42.700
she said at the 2024 International Democracy Union Forum in NDC.
00:21:48.060
At the Conservative conference in 2024, she said her childhood in Nigeria was
00:21:55.740
characterized by screams of neighbors every night being attacked,
00:22:00.700
leading to fears about whether her apartment would be the next target.
00:22:03.820
So she knows what's causing this, she's lived this, in the same way that I know the Lebanese
00:22:11.580
Civil War, and I've lived this, and I understand what happens.
00:22:14.620
She has, except that she's not being honest about her own experiences.
00:22:18.540
And the litany of events that we saw just being publicized from 31 October until today kind of
00:22:26.620
confirms that, kind of confirms that you're hearing the screams of neighbors every night being attacked,
00:22:41.340
Today I was doing research about the sort of next Realpolitik that I'm doing in half an hour after the show,
00:22:48.060
and I realized that the British government had created a program to settle the white helmets in Britain.
00:22:54.860
The white helmets of Syria are literally medics affiliated with Al-Qaeda.
00:23:01.580
They've gotten permission to settle in Britain, and they're being brought into Britain.
00:23:07.740
And the only person who sort of looks at this honestly is Rupert Lowe.
00:23:12.620
He says thousands of thousands of small boats illegals are no longer technically asylum seekers,
00:23:18.380
meaning that when their children commit attacks, they will be described as British-born.
00:23:24.380
In the same way that Anthony Williams has been described as British-born.
00:23:28.860
And he wrote to Keir Starmer, and I think I just want to read to you the first couple of sentences.
00:23:33.740
Once again, our streets and our communities have been shattered by brutal, scentless, and barbaric violence.
00:23:41.020
Britain did not used to be like this, nor does Britain have to be like this.
00:24:01.340
These are just the incidents publicized between 31 October till today.
00:24:08.220
But pick any time period and do some research, and you'll see the exact same pattern.
00:24:17.660
Let's listen to John Healey, I think he's the Defence Secretary, saying very profound thoughts.
00:24:27.500
Can the public feel safe going about their business?
00:24:30.700
Can the government say that with any degree of certainty right now?
00:24:41.180
The British public is resilient, as in shut up and suffer.
00:24:47.740
It means I will take no responsibility for the decisions of my government and its predecessors.
00:24:55.660
We're not going to be put off carrying on our everyday life.
00:24:59.340
I'll be using that train service back home at the end of the week, just as I
00:25:09.500
But what I think the public should be is more vigilant for themselves, the circumstances around them.
00:25:17.660
And of course, for all of us, we need to be more careful and more vigilant with
00:25:21.420
many of our electronic devices and some of the cyber risks that we may also face.
00:25:28.060
Which means that there is no feeling of safety.
00:25:31.020
And again, he speaks as if the problem is not violent crime, but people
00:25:39.500
You know, many, several years ago now, when Sadiq Khan says,
00:25:44.620
oh, it's just part and parcel of living in a big city.
00:25:47.900
We've now finally arrived at the point where it's just part and parcel of living in Britain.
00:26:06.860
This is one way of saying around certain people, never relax.
00:26:12.780
He's also saying more of these people should be brought.
00:26:18.860
And Lewis Goodall, I couldn't sort of let this go.
00:26:34.620
I mean, for goodness sake, for goodness sake, this is absurd.
00:26:38.460
We've just heard from the police that the two suspects are British nationals.
00:27:01.980
Because certain communities are more prone to certain actions than others.
00:27:06.700
And this finding is replicated in every single society that looks into it.
00:27:13.420
There has never been a study that looked into this subject
00:27:29.260
They constantly talk about the possibility of crime.
00:27:34.380
That's why there was a guy on X who started saying...
00:27:50.620
Because first of all, people who are right-wingers...
00:27:53.260
I'm not going to play along that stupid term that they're constantly using to talk about
00:27:59.500
But right-wingers are almost invariably in favor of tough punishment.
00:28:06.780
And when it comes to being against people who are committing crimes of this sort,
00:28:14.060
the main line of thinking is, I don't want this to happen to my family.
00:28:17.900
I don't want this to happen to my kids, to my community, to my friends, to people in my nation.
00:28:27.980
This shows that they only think in terms of groups.
00:28:34.780
To reinforce your point, if a white working class guy from an area that had been de-industrialized
00:28:41.740
had done this, nobody would say that this is Margaret Thatcher's fault for de-industrialization.
00:28:48.460
And that, therefore, he should receive more lenient punishment.
00:28:55.660
The issue, though, is, which I'm going to tie again with possibility and probability that I said before,
00:29:00.540
is that leftists are constantly going to say that, hey, it's white British men who are committing crime as well.
00:29:10.060
And they can commit crime, so don't just not talk about it.
00:29:14.380
But they completely ignore the fact that crime isn't distributed evenly in communities.
00:29:19.900
And the very fact that some communities are overrepresented in violent crime is a problem in and of itself.
00:29:26.620
And people like Lewis Goodall, they just want to refuse to talk about it.
00:29:30.620
Well, can I just say one more thing about this Lewis Goodall business as well, which is just
00:29:34.540
the fact that whilst Lewis Goodall proceeds to just go on LBC or newsagents or whatever it is with
00:29:40.540
Maitlis and the rest of those cronies every day and basically just parrot the establishment line,
00:29:48.940
This is not the last time we're going to report this.
00:29:56.220
And so whilst Lewis is there busy saying things that make him feel good, that make him feel moral,
00:30:05.340
he is supporting a system that, as we've pointed out, actually says,
00:30:11.020
we don't have a solution to deal with this because there isn't a liberal solution to deal with this.
00:30:17.420
And therefore you're not going to be safe, but you're resilient, aren't you?
00:30:21.180
So stiff upper lip and all that, you know, because you're British.
00:30:24.460
Now go out there, get on the train and potentially run into some foreigner who we've
00:30:29.900
let in the country that shouldn't be here or their children or so on and so forth.
00:30:34.700
And the last word from the establishment on this,
00:30:37.980
women afraid to be out in public after racially aggravated rapes.
00:30:43.100
But this is talking about the two alleged incidents where Indian women were allegedly
00:30:51.340
raped because of their skin color or where it was part of the thinking.
00:30:55.820
It has nothing to do with the grooming gangs or with the violence for migrants or what have you.
00:31:05.740
And this is the kind of narrative that's being pushed by the BBC, that you are the enemy.
00:31:10.300
And the only conclusion is that they want you to suffer, that this is deliberate policy
00:31:18.700
intended to test your resilience and break your resilience until you submit
00:31:23.580
and have the total police state that they dream of.
00:31:39.340
So before we go to the comments, could you please show the first link?
00:31:46.620
Firas is going to have an episode of Realpolitik.
00:31:52.700
You're going to talk about the Syrian civil war, part two.
00:31:57.420
Definitely, if you are already a subscriber, definitely watch what Firas has to say.
00:32:05.900
And also, if you're not, consider subscribing to our channel with as little as £5 a month.
00:32:11.020
And definitely give Realpolitik a watch and also watch Chronicles by Luca.
00:32:26.380
I think it is also they decided that this is the moral thing to do.
00:32:32.540
So they have to ignore any negative consequences.
00:32:36.700
I mean, I wouldn't attribute to them that much good intentions.
00:32:48.300
They see you suffer and they don't give a damn.
00:32:57.420
Gimli of Gloin for 10 euros says, I think Elon had a point when he said that the people of the UK need to finally stand up for the country.
00:33:05.740
Otherwise, you might not have a country to stand up to fight for any longer.
00:33:10.940
People need to express their dissatisfaction with his policies.
00:33:17.020
The leftists who spread anti-English hatred are culpable when regarded people act on it.
00:33:35.500
I can't get over the language being used by the authorities.
00:33:39.020
The incidents are described as if they're inevitable, akin to natural disaster.
00:33:45.820
The force of the law is always proportional to the will to enforce it.
00:33:52.140
And the will to enforce it is dependent on the identity of the criminal.
00:33:58.460
And also, I really like what Henry says about this because when they are describing it precisely as
00:34:04.300
a natural disaster, as something that no human being has moral responsibility for.
00:34:10.300
And therefore, something that just sort of tries to give an excuse for the police to not do much.
00:34:27.020
A new hospital is Templars needed more than ever.
00:34:33.740
For £10, mass migration is a key part of the plan to collapse Western currencies in order to
00:34:42.220
usher in central bank digital currency and a social credit control system.
00:35:07.980
It needs to uphold the law and enact swift, brutal justice on evildoers.
00:35:12.140
But they won't do that because our rulers are the most evil of the lot.
00:35:16.060
I will say this because I do regularly find upon, you know, encounter this argument.
00:35:23.020
No, part of upholding the law involves keeping people safe.
00:35:27.500
That doesn't mean that this has to go to ridiculous extent of a police state.
00:35:33.020
It means that some people have to go and the force, the law has to be enforced.
00:35:45.740
It's a cope so based that only an anti-racist could come up with it.
00:35:52.140
The Matt D, I'll call it now, knife did it, can no longer buy unless you have digital ID.
00:35:58.380
It was just a man and survivors will be investigated and charged with fair evasion.
00:36:11.500
Protecting the public and ensuring public safety shouldn't go to that extent.
00:36:17.580
It should take the form of, you know, people who are not able to live here should leave.
00:36:25.900
And also the law should be enforced and there should be no soft on crime policies.
00:36:35.580
So let's all just cast our minds back to the ancient history that was June, shall we?
00:36:47.900
I know this looks like Mexico with the Mexican flag, but of course, this was actually in California where all the crazies live.
00:36:55.740
And so these people were very, very proud of the fact that they were Mexicans.
00:37:00.700
And they were very, very brave in resisting Trump and ICE and their attempts to basically make California a livable place again.
00:37:13.740
And yes, part of being a livable place would be for it to actually be American.
00:37:18.540
And so you can tell they have a tremendous amount of loyalty to their own nation, whether they be first generation, second generation immigrant.
00:37:30.900
The point is they make it very clear as to where their loyalties are, which is to Mexico.
00:37:40.420
Now, I'm going to start by just playing this clip and then we'll talk about it.
00:37:45.300
It's it's not graphic, but it is from the event.
00:37:58.820
And so the sound of those shots was the sound of the assassination of Carlos Manzo, who was the mayor of a city called, sorry, it's pronunciation, Europan, in Mexico, which was the second largest city in its region.
00:38:21.300
Now, Manzo seems to have been something of a genuine crusader.
00:38:27.300
He seems to have had, from what I can tell, a strong moral compass, certainly so far as it entails basically fighting the cartels, which is, of course, the largest issue facing Mexico.
00:38:43.380
So large now that honestly, there doesn't even seem to be a way out of it for the near future.
00:38:55.220
And just to say something else about the fact of how Carlos Manzo came to power, he was originally part of the Moreno Party, of the current president's party, Scheinbaum.
00:39:08.340
And he was passed over basically to become their party's representative for the for the mayor of this region.
00:39:17.140
And so he ran as an independent and not only did he run as an independent, he managed to basically get 66 percent of the votes cast.
00:39:27.180
And that is against a coalition of Moreno, PT and Green Party.
00:39:33.420
So they all put a coalition in against him and they managed to accrue 19.44 percent of the votes.
00:39:39.980
So that tells us something very, very clear about this man, which is that he, off the back of his name, his reputation, his moral character, he had enough confidence from the local people of Europe that they were basically willing to put their faith in him.
00:39:58.760
And they knew that he was obviously incorruptible.
00:40:02.760
Now, he has been compared to the to a Bukele like figure, although he has distanced himself from that.
00:40:13.440
He says, I'm I'm just a guy who wears it, wears a hat.
00:40:16.520
And really what we so so thank you, Samson, what we come to is the fact that he really led courageously.
00:40:28.240
So one of the things that is most important to note is that whilst there were patrols around his area where he has jurisdiction, he would personally go out on these patrols with his men in his bulletproof vest.
00:40:42.520
And he he led from the front. Right. He inspired other people to take a stand, to be brave in the face of this corruption and in the face of the fear.
00:40:53.800
Right. Just a sheer fear, because the fact of the matter is that for many of these gangs, it doesn't have to be that they are simply around every corner.
00:41:05.020
You can see them always visible in plain sight, knowing that they're going to just pull a gun out and end your life.
00:41:10.700
They rule through fear, through their reputation alone, through the sheer barbarity and precedent of what they've done.
00:41:18.000
These are some of the most brutal people that probably walk the earth right now.
00:41:24.120
To be honest with you, on par with the most, you know, isolated African warlords.
00:41:31.200
There was a point where you couldn't, unless you knew what you were doing, you couldn't tell apart videos of cartel brutality and videos of Islamic State brutality.
00:41:42.700
And very often the cartels were more brutal than Islamic State.
00:41:49.720
But it should be said that when Gloria Scheinbaum was mayor of Mexico City, which was the stepping stone to her becoming president, she did bring the murder rate down in Mexico City.
00:42:04.640
Well, the disappearance rate increased dramatically.
00:42:07.260
So the cartels began disappearing bodies rather than leaving bodies in order to help her claim that she brought down the murder rate.
00:42:19.520
I genuinely don't want to seem glib, but this is literally the plot of Hot Fools.
00:42:29.040
And that's like a comedy, like an absurd comedy.
00:42:39.300
Her predecessor, an ideological godfather, AMLO, Lopez Obrador was his last name.
00:42:48.420
His policy was that we would use hugs, not bullets on the cartels, by which she meant that the cartels would be brought into the legal economy and therefore be allowed to launder their money in the hope that they'd reduce their violence.
00:43:09.620
And it turns out that the people who believe this are people on the payroll of the Jalisco cartel, which is the cartel that Carlos Manza was campaigning against.
00:43:19.100
And it seems that, according to the Americans, Lopez Obrador was being paid by the Jalisco cartel, or by the Juarez cartel.
00:43:31.120
So he was actually on their payroll, and then they do the service to Scheinbaum, or the Americans say he was on their payroll, and then they do the service to Scheinbaum by reducing the number of murders.
00:43:43.140
And her continued policy is to try to corrupt the Mexican military.
00:43:49.720
So what she does is that she comes up with new economic projects in transport and tourism that she hands over to the army, finding a way, essentially, to bribe the generals.
00:43:58.860
And to end the policy of her predecessor, Vincente Fox, I think, who was using the military to crack down on the cartels.
00:44:08.420
And she ended that policy by essentially ensuring that the top generals would be on the payroll of the cartels.
00:44:15.160
So this is a full-on narco state at this stage.
00:44:20.220
And she's enabling this, and she will continue to do this.
00:44:23.600
And then you see, in exchange, that 37 of her opponents have died at the hands of the cartels.
00:44:30.900
Coincidence, I believe I'm right in saying it was the bloodiest election without precedent that actually she emerged to power with.
00:44:44.240
So I have a few quotes here from Manzo where he goes on to say,
00:44:47.920
I have no dealings, no relationship, no financing or anything with the crime groups.
00:44:53.820
A statement that seemed to say that compromise, negotiating, conceding, entering the game was the unwritten rule to stay afloat in one of the hottest areas of Mexico.
00:45:03.740
And he also went on to say that fear is natural to man, but we dominate it.
00:45:09.640
And he also seemed to believe that because of his public image and his popularity and the fact that he obviously had quite strong media presence, that they wouldn't dare go after him.
00:45:26.160
He seems to have made the calculation that basically people power would make him untouchable.
00:45:33.220
But obviously that's not something they care about.
00:45:36.000
And so, and what's more as well, the most horrific detail of all of this is obviously, so this assassination took place on Saturday when Mexico was hosting the Day of the Dead festival.
00:45:47.660
And he was there in the middle of the hill, and he was there in the centre of his city, great public festivities.
00:46:07.320
So I did think it was worth reading what the president of Mexico had to say about all of this,
00:46:13.260
which is that I condemn with absolute firmness the vile assassination of the municipal president of Europen, Carlos Manzo.
00:46:21.460
I express my most sincere condolences to his family and loved ones, as well as to the people of Europen, in the face of this irreparable loss.
00:46:29.440
From the moment this grave incident became known, I spoke with the governor of Michoacán,
00:46:37.200
and the Secretary of Security and Citizen Protection, Omar Garcia Harfosh, who has maintained constant communication with the State Attorney General.
00:46:49.640
Today I convened the Security Cabinet to ensure support for that place and that there be no impunity.
00:46:57.600
The territorial commands of Defence and the National Guard maintained communication with the mayor and he had federal protection.
00:47:04.880
The Security Cabinet will hold a press conference to transparently report on the progress of the investigation of this case.
00:47:13.420
From the start of this administration, we have strengthened the security strategy.
00:47:18.600
These such regrettable events drive us to strengthen it even further.
00:47:23.800
We reaffirm our commitment to devote all our efforts to the State to achieve peace and security with zero impunity and justice.
00:47:34.880
She's, I mean, doing her this favour of hiding the bodies of Mexico City is not only evil, that families don't know where their loved ones are.
00:47:45.200
And her predecessor was all about hugs, not bullets.
00:47:50.980
And what's more as well, that really the investigation, of course, simply seems to be centred on, well, who killed him?
00:47:59.720
No larger questions about where the money was coming from, where the incentive came from, who had to, who could gain from it.
00:48:13.200
And what's more as well, there is also the fact contend with that Manzo was totally opposed to the hugs policy.
00:48:29.800
And he seems to have been practically begging Scheinbaum and her administration for several months now.
00:48:40.540
To bring in troops to his place, so to give him reinforcements to actually deal with this.
00:48:53.000
I mean, Michoacán is one of the states that I believe is close to Mexico City.
00:48:57.100
And the cartels are working on essentially surrounding Mexico City, as well as the northern states close to the United States,
00:49:05.440
in order to make sure that the Mexican state doesn't have any options.
00:49:09.120
And they're not going to be dealt with with hugs.
00:49:13.460
They're going to have to be dealt with with bullets.
00:49:21.080
And what's more as well, this assassination, obviously, because, as I said, the guy was popular.
00:49:26.300
And so what we have here are protests, riots, demonstrations happening outside of Morelia, in the Moreno government palace.
00:49:39.120
So you can see him climbing through the window there, and then you have it from the other side in this video.
00:49:59.620
So the point here is not the actual conduct of the people,
00:50:22.260
but rather the fact that they clearly believe that it was the government.
00:50:32.820
This is like the most open secret, right, of all time.
00:50:36.740
And so whilst the state seems to deny it, obviously the Mexican people seem to be smarter than that.
00:50:43.060
I mean, God knows me speculating on what will happen in Mexican politics when the next election runs around.
00:50:49.940
There are far too many unknown quantities for all of that.
00:50:58.680
And the gangs are gaining more and more influence in the United States.
00:51:02.000
And, you know, one of my theories, it'll come out in next week's RealPolitik about Antifa,
00:51:09.200
is that they're beginning to fund American groups in order to encourage them to become more violent.
00:51:15.140
So the cartels are a huge problem, much bigger problem than Venezuela or anywhere else.
00:51:21.240
I think I have a link missing here, but I was going to comment on the fact as well that Landau,
00:51:28.460
the Deputy Secretary for the State Department in America, obviously put out a statement
00:51:35.480
basically acknowledging that this had happened and saying that they were monitoring the situation very, very closely
00:51:41.000
because the fact of the matter is that a huge number of public officials are obviously being killed.
00:51:49.420
And what's more as well, this is not simply something as zealous as basically an anarcho state existing on the doorstep of America.
00:51:59.220
What's more, it's also the fact that the cartels, according to Homeland Security, have been putting out bounties on ICE officers.
00:52:10.600
So you have this entire, not just bounties, but a tier list.
00:52:13.600
So you have $2,000 for gathering intelligence or doxing agents, including photos of their family and details.
00:52:21.960
And you have also politicians saying that ICE agents shouldn't be wearing masks.
00:52:29.300
You also, so $5,000 to $10,000 for kidnapping on non-lethal assaults on these officers,
00:52:36.920
and up to $50,000 for assassination of high-ranking officials.
00:52:41.060
Now, shockingly, the Mexican government denied that such a thing was happening and said that this was the first they'd heard of it.
00:52:50.040
But I actually am willing to trust Homeland Security on this.
00:52:55.500
I think that, put it this way, I don't think this is morally beneath the cartels to do such a thing.
00:53:03.380
I think we have a pretty clear view of what their character is.
00:53:07.480
And so when it actually brings American lives into stake as well, obviously that will bring about questions of,
00:53:23.060
Now, I don't want to put too much stock, of course, in an NBC article.
00:53:27.580
The point is, it does raise that speculative question.
00:53:31.600
Because what's more as well, we have to remember, to go back to the start of this segment,
00:53:37.020
that these Mexican loyalists that live in California,
00:53:43.740
they are obviously wishing to expand their own culture, their own country's interests.
00:53:51.600
And at this point, Mexico's interests are simply, you know, aligned with whatever the gang's interests are.
00:54:01.580
And so if they spread Mexico into the United States through sheer demographic replacement,
00:54:07.520
then that only serves to strengthen these gangs as well.
00:54:10.440
And what's more, above, I believe it's above 90% of drugs within the United States,
00:54:17.940
passed by the land border in Mexico, fentanyl, cocaine, marijuana, all of it.
00:54:27.420
And so there is a huge amount of contention here.
00:54:31.380
And it's obviously deeply upsetting that good men suffer, their families are rendered fatherless and husbandless,
00:54:41.500
and the corruption seems to spread at every stage, unchecked.
00:54:48.040
And so I only hope that whatever the Trump administration devises, whatever advice it is seeking,
00:54:59.340
Because what is apparent is that the solution to fix this is not going to come from within Mexico itself.
00:55:08.360
When the cartels have the entire government in its pocket,
00:55:11.420
and basically rules by a state of, well, by a reign of terror.
00:55:22.580
So AMLO was basically channeling David Cameron and his hug a hoodie.
00:55:33.040
During the 70s, my mom's entire life, all 14 of them, had to flee Mexico City,
00:55:37.840
because the cartels wanted my grandfather to be their drug mule.
00:55:42.840
I hope that now you're in a much better state than you and your family.
00:55:51.360
The odds of any of us are increasingly not in our favor.
00:56:02.860
Yeah, Tom, for £10, was on a train the other week.
00:56:06.380
Someone up front was hammering the emergency baton.
00:56:09.380
Everyone in the carriage I was in at the back was having a panic attack,
00:56:17.180
Ocic door for $5 in current British politics would sign shop saying,
00:56:29.540
The cartels are playing a dangerous game, especially with Trump in government.
00:56:39.280
Sadly, the corruption is bottom-up and has infected the police and the military a long time ago.
00:56:46.180
The only solution is to bring in mercenaries, PMCs,
00:56:49.380
for any leader in Mexico to deal with the cartels.
00:56:53.740
I don't know if he means top-down, but maybe...
00:57:00.240
The problem is that the people in charge are evil
00:57:02.920
and will always use our suffering as an excuse to tyrannize us more.
00:57:13.360
So, I'm going to talk about a very sad subject.
00:57:24.340
Now, I have done a segment before about the persecution of Christians
00:57:28.620
in Africa and the relative lack of care by the international community
00:57:39.800
So, if you want to have a look, just go and watch this.
00:57:44.900
Today, we're going to talk a bit about Sudan and then Nigeria.
00:57:49.500
But what I want to say is that it seems to me that there are double standards
00:57:53.420
with respect to the reporting of crimes committed according to some communities.
00:58:03.620
We constantly hear about, let's say, Islamophobia and antisemitism,
00:58:17.080
We do not have a specific UN day, for instance,
00:58:22.100
that is given for and assigned for crimes against Christians.
00:58:32.800
There is a day against religious persecution and for religious freedoms.
00:58:36.700
But there isn't a specific day, again, for commemoration, for instance,
00:58:48.340
It's almost as if the focus is disproportionately on the antisemitism and Islamophobia side
00:59:03.440
massive protests in London, Paris, Amsterdam, Columbia University
00:59:07.320
over new revelations that Sudan's civil war last year caused 61,000 dead in Khartoum alone,
00:59:20.440
And let me also just say that when it came to protests against the operation of the IDF in Gaza,
00:59:32.120
there were many people who flew the Palestinian flags.
00:59:39.680
This doesn't mean that crimes in Gaza don't continue to happen.
00:59:52.380
My speculation is that most probably these protests were funded by a side that was basically more anti-Jewish.
01:00:04.320
It wasn't a pro-human rights side because there continue to be crimes in Gaza,
01:00:17.800
And we do see here someone going to children in Sudan and explaining to them what happens in Gaza,
01:00:30.460
He goes and he tells children in Sudan what's happening in Gaza.
01:00:34.340
What does he expect the African children to do about it, even by his own standards?
01:00:40.060
Well, do you know, the important thing in this is what you don't notice, which is the camera.
01:00:46.560
And he doesn't care whether they understand him or not.
01:00:49.360
He cares about the fact that he is virtue signaling to the people who are going to watch it
01:00:53.900
and are going to think that they are in his side.
01:00:56.700
Right. So we have, sadly, some new developments in the Sudanese civil war and one of the last ones,
01:01:04.400
because they have massive instability since 1956.
01:01:09.320
And right now, all these crimes are located, most of these crimes are located here in this area called Al-Fashir,
01:01:18.060
which is in the southwest area where it's close to the Christian side of Sudan,
01:01:26.340
because they are saying that basically the north is more Muslim majority
01:01:33.080
Right. And let's see here what the Daily Mail has to say.
01:01:48.920
They're saying 460 massacred at a maternity hospital.
01:01:53.300
Husbands forced to hear wives being raped for days.
01:01:57.120
Horrifying accounts of how Sudan has descended into hell.
01:02:01.040
And I just want to point out that a lot of people in the current government were calling for
01:02:10.420
and to providing safe passage to people from Sudan so that they could move to Britain.
01:02:23.260
Right. And they say here the United Nations had described it as a war of atrocities,
01:02:27.500
yet the brutalities of the Sudanese civil war were almost forgotten by the world until now.
01:02:33.720
And because there was this operation of the RSF in El Fasher,
01:02:41.540
the Rapid Support Forces, which is a paramilitary force,
01:02:48.460
there have been new atrocities that are documented.
01:02:54.640
but they have basically flooded the social media.
01:03:17.380
But you definitely see lots of, you know, just violent murderers killing them,
01:03:25.460
filming themselves, killing them, and shouting that their God is great.
01:03:31.220
To be fair, it's not particularly religious right now in Sudan.
01:03:40.700
between what is today Sudan and what is today South Sudan,
01:03:43.920
where South Sudan was more both Christian and animist
01:03:49.620
And the Muslim side would sort of be completely butchering people.
01:03:59.220
Doesn't it also have a huge religious dimension
01:04:01.720
when they film themselves basically killing people
01:04:08.060
I don't know how to make this worse, but I will.
01:04:16.500
are the somewhat more secular force compared to the Sudanese military,
01:04:21.720
who has been closer to the Islamists because of their background.
01:04:32.600
and it's not accurate to call the RSF particularly Islamist.
01:04:43.960
Well, don't they also have the support from Islamist sides
01:04:50.640
Everybody sees themselves as a jihadi in one way or another.
01:04:59.100
Why can't we just say it's a secular issue alone?
01:05:19.860
and they proudly announce it throughout the whole world,
01:05:23.220
and they do frequently make their religious chants,
01:05:26.620
and I think that it is particularly disturbing.
01:05:57.800
on the part of the international community against this.
01:06:04.100
I think that there is also a religious aspect into it.
01:06:08.820
And I will add to what Firas was saying before.
01:06:16.460
but I do think that there is a massive anti-Christian aspect into it,
01:06:24.420
who are committing these atrocities are gloating
01:06:46.820
There is massive instability in Sudan since 1956.
01:06:56.280
Yeah, it's basically how you don't govern a country.
01:07:18.240
in parts of London than in the entirety of Sudan,
01:07:22.640
a country that's sort of bisected by the Nile River
01:07:39.660
please can we not discuss bringing them to Europe?
01:07:52.880
that is vastly overpopulated relative to Europe.
01:07:58.220
And the point is that there are all these issues
01:08:10.380
If your house replicates the problematic houses,
01:08:48.920
This doesn't sound a particularly Christian name.
01:09:29.480
Omar al-Bashir was something of color revolution.
01:09:35.280
He was subjected to a color revolution of sorts
01:09:44.140
and partly because there was foreign intervention
01:09:47.060
because he was too close to the Muslim Brotherhood
01:09:52.080
and so a coalition of countries worked together
01:10:35.060
Burhan wanted to incorporate the RSF into the army
01:10:48.680
because it allowed Hamidti to become a lot richer
01:11:03.280
and also that he has the backing of General Haftar in Libya
01:11:21.040
a lot of this murderousness wouldn't be happening
01:11:30.980
they were talking about the persecution of Christians
01:11:34.880
and they have particularly strong points to make
01:11:45.040
Sudan is one of the worst places to be a Christian
