Time Text
Hi, I'm Sarah Jane Smith.
Find your path by doing my new Millionaire's Mindset Hypnosis.
I help you to break any subconscious thought patterns that are stopping you from obtaining all of your goals.
The truth will then come to the forefront of your mind that you are worthy and deserving of achieving everything.
You'll start to attract the right people into your life.
Opportunities will open up as a result.
Financial success is a natural outcome from being clear and focused.
Everything will literally fall into place when you do what you love.
People are already enjoying mind-blowing success with this incredible session.
So what are you waiting for?
We've spoken about research and how the mainstream alternative media doesn't seem to be bringing
too much in the terms of new information.
So I thought if we finish up today by talking about something that you're obviously incredibly passionate about, and that's the art of researching, I guess, and, you know, deciphering information and, you know, cross-referencing to see if something you've read has validity before you decide to speak or write about it.
and coming up with new insights and new perceptions and philosophies on various different things.
So to close up today, can you share with the audience your process of seeing something
and then diving deep into it to see if it has validity before you start writing about it?
Well, the sequence of my life since my head blew off in 1990 has been that subjects will come into
my life, apparently out of nowhere.
And then information about those subjects will be coming at me like a machine gun fire.
But what I do when I, let's take the reptilian thing.
When I first started coming across that, and suddenly more and more people were giving me their stories about what they'd experienced, you don't just immediately come out and say, oh, Rep Jillian's running the world.
What I do, you put it on the back burner and you let it simmer.
And you wait to see if more information comes.
And if it doesn't, well it doesn't and you don't go anywhere with it.
But if it does, there reaches a point where you've got enough cross-referenced Confirmation of the same theme from so many different people in so many different situations and walks of life that, you know, not to go with it would be ridiculous because obviously there was something to look at.
And that's how I work all the time.
And what I'm seeing a lot in the mainstream alternative media, I mean, you used it in another context earlier, it's reactive.
If something happens and you react to it, and you say, this is what's going on.
Now, if you've done the enormous amount of research, going back a long time, that you know what's going on, because of that, then go with it.
But what I see is so many people when something happens is they jump.
It's like with COVID.
When COVID started appearing late 2019, early 2020, people were jumping in and saying, it's this, it's that, it's the other.
And I thought, well, no, because at this moment, I don't know.
I know it's a scam.
Because it fits the modus operandi of these people perfectly.
But what kind of scam is it?
And you hold your fire.
The phrase in Britain, you keep your powder dry until you are sure and then you go with it.
And so many people in the alternative media, they jump immediately and then it turns out to be not like that at all.
So it's very, very important because being accurate is absolutely vital.
You know, if I write something or say something and it's even slightly not quite like that, even slightly, mildly, and people would just dispel it, that doesn't matter.
What it matters to me, I'm gutted because I want what I say and write to be The truth, factually, or if you're dealing with areas where you can't be that tangible, then at least the evidence supports what you're saying.
And what you are saying could be the situation.
It's not about getting the biggest audience or saying things and reacting to things so that you'll get a big response in terms of people watching your podcast or whatever.
It's not about that.
It's about whether it's true or not.
And often, you see, when you research like that, you're going to be going against the grain, even of the alternative media.
Because the biggest The biggest danger, or one of the biggest dangers, when you're researching, is wanting to hear it.
Wanting it to be true.
And if you come from that perspective, this is what I would want to be true, then you are very much more open To ignoring things that would show it not to be true, or not to be quite what you're saying, because you really want it to be true.
It's like someone tells you what you want to hear, the door's already swinging in terms of their acceptance, because they want what you're saying to be true.
This is why when people say, oh, don't listen to those conspiracy theorists, they're just making it up.
People want to hear that because they don't want to know, hear, that what you're saying is actually what's happening.
But when you're telling people what they don't want to hear, the door is locked, at least for a long time, because they don't want to hear it.
They don't want it to be true.
But our role As alternative researchers and journalists is to say what we believe to be factually true, no matter whether people want to hear it or not.
So in this situation that I've been in in the last few months or so, I've been calling out people in the alternative media and people like Musk for taking it over and misdirecting it.
And being naively manipulated by these oligarchs.
And a lot of lot a lot of people have not wanted to hear that.
Well, too bad because it's what I have been uncovering.
Therefore, I'm going to say it.
And this is another part of research and communication, Jay.
If you have any smear of vestige of concern about what other people think of you, then you are not going to be wholly truthful in what you uncover.
You're not, because you're going to say, well, if I say this, Maybe my audience will fall because they won't want to hear this.
Maybe my audience is massively Christian, for instance, and I'm saying something that Christians don't want to hear.
So I won't say it.
But if you can factually support it, you bloody say it.
That's what alternative journalism is all about.
Saying what you believe to be true, not what people want to hear.
And I've been doing that for 35 years now, my 35th year I'm in, and it don't make you popular.
It does among thinking people, awakening people, who want to hear it, whatever it is, and see if they think it's credible too.
But among the mass of the people, they don't want to hear that.
They don't want to hear that Elon Musk is conning them because they want to believe that he's a free speech hero who's on their side.
So they attack you.
Not because you can't support what you're saying.
My God, the evidence is overwhelming.
But because they don't want to bloody hear it.
They don't want it to be true.
So they target the messenger.
And I'm okay with that because I've had it for 35 years.
But if you don't do that, if you're not prepared to do that, then you're not going to be a proper alternative journalist because you're going to be self-censoring yourself.
Yeah, and that's what we need.
We need more people who are willing to put their head above some parapet and say what they believe to be right, regardless of the consequences, and always be open to new information, which is, I mean, something you've evolved incredibly since the early 90s.
People won't, they'll see a little bit in the background of the shot there, but there's, I dread to think, 300 books or something in the room that you're sat in?
Yeah, yeah, probably, and I've written about 26, 27.
I've written about 26, 27. I'm just in the two-thirds through writing another one.
And everyone moves it forward because there's so much to know that if you don't move it forward, what are you doing?
And that's my thing, or one of my things with the alternative media, mainstream media, is it's going round and round and round, repeating the same stuff, and it's not moving on, which suits the cult magnificently.
Yes, which explains why they've brought their people in, or at least manipulated people,
to keep it going round in that eddy, while the likes of you and others that are pushing,
trying to continue going towards the cutting edge, are being censored.
There's a lot of things that I've said over the years which were perceived to be crazy,
and then suddenly...
They start to move mainstream.
I'm waiting for someone to convince me that we don't live in a simulation.
What is real?
How do you define real?
If you're talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, taste and see, then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.
