Hello everybody and welcome to this week's dot connect as you'll see not in studio today.
Still wearing an incredible shirt, however.
Sat over here in Portugal where it's currently raining right now, which isn't ideal.
Dad, you're sat in front of a green screen.
How are you doing this week?
Well, I've not got a green screen, actually.
I've got a blue background with a light switch.
Your shirt is appropriate, given you're in Portugal sunning yourself in the rain.
It's up this way here as well.
But there you go.
It's been another week of interesting events, shall we say.
Yeah, it certainly has.
We had all our running order set for what we're going to talk about today and then obviously last night the major story from Eastern Europe broke with the Prime Minister of Slovakia's attempted assassination.
Now it looks like as news is coming out now that he's probably going to be okay after life-saving surgery through the night but This is kind of a really interesting story because political leaders getting assassinated and getting attacked is something, you know, we're used to hearing about in certain parts of the world.
But in Europe, this is a massive story.
You know, Slovakia is very much a country that is considered a first world country, member of NATO, member of the European Union and so on.
So for this to happen in broad daylight as it did is quite a big event, isn't it?
And it's understandable why this is such a massive story.
Yeah.
Robert Fico has reinvented himself many times.
He's been in politics in Slovakia for decades and different aspects of politics, shall we say.
But what he's done more recently is push back on, at least publicly, on many of the The hardcore agendas of this global cult, for instance, he's refused to send arms to Ukraine.
He's very recently, the last few days, said that he won't support the World Health Organization treaty.
Which is designed to give the WHO complete control globally of national responses to pandemics, which the World Health Organization will call.
And he's also made speeches Because he was pushing back, whether he was doing it for political reasons or not, you never know.
But he was pushing back during COVID on the restrictions.
And he said that he will investigate how that whole thing came about.
So on that level, you can immediately say, well, you can see why they don't want this guy around.
I'm reading from his Deputy Prime Minister that he's not in a life-threatening situation at this moment and he says In a comment to the BBC, as far as I know, the operation went well, and I guess that at the end he will survive.
Well, I guess at the end he will survive.
It's not a great confirmation that he's through it yet.
So we'll have to see how this goes from here.
But, you know, political assassinations, Can have many different facets in terms of their motivation.
It can shut someone up.
I mean, you look at the assassinations of Martin Luther King, of Malcolm X, of JFK, his brother, Robert Kennedy, in the United States in the 1960s.
And it's also a warning to anyone else that wants to go down that road or is thinking of doing so.
You know, this is what can happen if you take us on.
And so they're very significant in their implications over a very wide area of the whole of politics and the agenda.
And there's another aspect of it, which I kind of came across in the Efforts to ban me from most of Europe through the Netherlands.
When we were challenging that ban, and you were reading through the reasons for it, one of the key things they put forward was that my suggestion that the politicians of different countries like the Netherlands were at their core controlled by this global elite was going to undermine confidence in democracy and the democratic system and would also possibly
exposing these people, put them in danger of violence, violence response.
That was one of the reasons they said you can't come and talk in in the Netherlands or even go in the country for two years and possibly indefinitely.
So I can see this being used by that force, actually, which is possibly behind it, we don't know, to to say, look, we've got to do something about criticism of politicians and exposure of politicians.
Well, politicians, I think, do a good enough job on their own of reducing confidence in them.
But there's two aspects to this which I found really, really interesting, having watched the video and then also done a lot of research since.
Firstly, the Deputy Prime Minister, who you mentioned, came out and spoke.
He immediately went on attack against the media, saying the media had stoked this division, this hate, which kind of ties into the whole online harms bill censorship of criticism, which you just mentioned.
The other thing is that you didn't have to do much research to see that, you know, Slovakia is quite a divided country at the moment politically.
And this guy, you know, is quite a controversial figure in many circles, particularly against the media.
I was reading that he wanted to shut down their equivalent of the BBC, who he was claiming are a propaganda arm for the leftist agenda, I think he called it, rather than for the people.
And one thing I found interesting is the story when he got shot said that his guards were taken completely off guard and by surprise.
Well, surely if you're the security guard for a president in a country that's very divided and is incredibly controversial, And he's in an open public space like he was, you're going to be extremely on guard and you're going to be extremely vigilant and not let somebody get six foot away from him with a gun.
So that always kind of, just like with the JFK assassination where security guards weren't where they meant to be and the attempted one on Reagan years later where again they weren't where they were meant to be, that just immediately sent my suspicions even higher that this was kind of planned.
Well, yes, and that's why it's wrong to rush to judgment and say, this is who was behind it.
Because there are many factors at work here, and any one of them could have been behind it.
But the principle is, is constant through all these different assassinations.
I've quoted in my books over the years, a guy called Leroy Fletcher Prouty, who was a big insider at the time of the JFK assassination.
He was an insider within the military and the intelligence networks.
And he said that you, you don't have to orchestrate an assassination you know once you've organized what's going to happen what you have to do is make sure that the normal security
So that's a red flag as well.
the normal security around a person, is withdrawn or is not adequate.
And so often what you see when these assassinations happen is the normal level of security is not
what it should be and what it would normally be. So that's a red flag as well. I mean he
was pointing out that all you have to do is allow it to happen.
I mean, it takes us back to Hamas going through the fence into Israel.
You would normally have that fence defended state of the art.
But at the time that the Hamas operatives went through the fence at multiple places, there was no defense at all.
And that shows you, and again it's a constant theme, so obviously there's a lot more to come out about this and in the days to come, and we're recording very soon after it happened, in the days to come more and more will come out.
But yeah, it's a common theme of assassinations.
Allow them to happen.
Because in many cases, in most cases, if you had the normal level of security, they couldn't happen.
Yeah, absolutely.
So, you know, we'll see what happens in the coming days.
I mean, final, final one on this.
Assassinations are basically just problem, reaction, solution, aren't they?
You know, whether that person is a problem and you want the reaction to get the solution or whether you're trying to create, you know, a wider conflict or happening, which obviously we know their plan is this wider conflict.
And the First World War, if we go back to 1914 and the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in Bosnia, or what is now Bosnia, that really instigated and kicked
off that conflict involving the Ottoman Empire. And there's lots of rumblings and stories I've
seen over the last few hours saying that this could be the modern day moment for that
because Slovakia are obviously much closer to Russia, for example, than any other European
Union country, probably with the exception of Hungary. And if it's a very obvious
assassination by the West against him, whether that's another poking of Putin and whether that further is
going to increase rumblings there. So do you think that this is kind of that next play
in a game?
Bye.
Bye.
Well, I'm always kind of standing back from these things and letting some more things play out first before you kind of rush to judgment.
So we'll see.
But there are many elements of this that can be.
can be used to push the agenda on.
But I would say this as well is that, you know, Robert Fico, you know, he won't be sweetness and light either if you're in politics and, you know, the Prime Minister for as long as he has been in at different times, then You know, you are someone who is pretty ruthless.
And we shouldn't forget that he was Prime Minister and forced to resign in, I think it was 2018, over the murder assassination.
of a journalist and his fiancée who were investigating corruption of politicians, not least through tax fraud.
So, you know, people that are in politics that long Their scruples are very fluid, shall we say.
And we'll see where this goes and get more of a fix on why it happened.
And we shouldn't rush to judgment, as so much of the alternative media tends to, until we've got a lot more facts on the table.
Absolutely.
And just because somebody does one thing you like and support doesn't mean that everything else they do is, you know, you can just ignore it.
Because there is, as you say, you've been in politics, I think over 30 years, you're probably going to have some skeletons in the closet.
And you certainly got some there if he's been forced to resign.
So we're going to move on to Eurovision, which was last weekend in Malmo, Sweden.
And there's a lot to unpick here across different aspects.
But we're going to start with The connection into Israel and people wanting people to vote for Israel to support them during this process.
And some of the names in the MAM that we've talked about extensively in the last few weeks were some of the biggest calling for this vote, weren't they?
Yeah, I mean, you know, I mean, pathetic doesn't cut it, really.
I mean, we've talked about the ludicrous nature of taking sides in terms of governments and countries.
I mean, you take the side of of compassion and empathy.
So you have empathy for those that were attacked in Israel and you have empathy for those being attacked on this monumental scale in Gaza by the Israeli government and military, that that's where we should be looking at what is what is right and what is not.
And once you take a side, well, in many ways, it kind of relates to what you just said about Um, politicians, you know, you might agree with some things they say, but there are other things that you won't.
And that's the right way to be.
You take every view and every situation on its merits based on the evidence.
Instead of this politician, like Trump for instance, this politician I'm supporting and therefore, right or wrong, I will go on supporting him.
And so this taking sides is just confirmation that you don't know what the hell is going on and how the world works.
And to see so-called alternative people calling on the public to vote for Israel in a song contest for political reasons, I mean, pathetic really doesn't cut it.
And don't tell me you're alternative if you're going to do that.
So we had the protests At the inclusion of Israel in the song contest.
Song contest, let me just emphasize that.
And so the thing is that in the mentality of the mainstream alternative media, much of which is not alternative at all, is that if the wokers or people they politically oppose, because we've got into this left-right kind of puppet show again, If they oppose something then we must be in favour of it.
So if they oppose Israel slaughtering tens of thousands of Palestinians, we must be in support of what Israel is doing.
campaign to get the public to vote for Israel in this song contest.
Israel gets top public vote from 14 countries in Eurovision plus rest of the world.
So they finished fifth Israel but they got a lot of the public vote because of different levels of voting in this contest.
And so there are, this is an alternative website that's kind of welcoming that.
Another one, this is a guy called Toby Young who runs an organisation called the Free Speech Union in the UK.
And it does some good work.
But when it's come to Israel, talk about taking sides, it's unbelievable.
Apart from moving to Jerusalem, you know, he's done everything he can to take a side.
And on his website, how to vote for Eden Golan in the Eurovision Song Contest.
And so what are we doing?
First of all, it's a song contest.
Just let people sing their songs and people decide who they want to win.
But to turn it, and this is what the Eurovision Song Contest has become, a political Entity?
That's why Britain gets no votes anymore.
They don't like us.
Brexit, you know.
So, to turn it into a political farce, where it's not the best song, or the best lyrics, the best performance, it's What country are you representing in the current geopolitical situation?
And this is GB News, which of course is very alternative, calling on its people, its viewers, to vote for Israel.
But this year, I do care about the contest.
I'm praying for an Israeli victory.
Because whilst, like any right-minded human being, I want the war in Gaza to end and the loss of life to stop, woke progressives on those so-called peace marches and middle-class numpties at elite British universities are hiding behind the fig leaf of anti-Zionism to indulge in a festival of Jew hate.
They are, at worst, Hamas supporters and, at best, they're useful idiots.
So I'm supporting Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest in order to push back on this hellish and fashionable wave of anti-Semitism.
To all the Israel haters out there, I'm giving you null point.
I mean, that's simply embarrassing.
They're meant to be a news channel.
I mean, obviously we know they're not, but at least they should be at least paying lip service to that.
Yeah, they're calling on their viewers to vote for a country and a song.
Oh, I can't even talk about it and keep a straight face.
It's pathetic, isn't it?
Yeah, there's got to be an alternative news channel as well.
An alternative to what?
You know?
When the numbers of the deaths and those maimed in Gaza started to rise, you know, a few in the alternative media mainstream broke ranks and started to say, well, I'm not sure about this.
But great swathes are supporting Israel because They're not Muslims.
That's basically why.
Because the alternative media at the mainstream has now become right-wing politics.
It's become Christian right-wing politics.
Now, chunks of it always were, but my God, it's gone through the stratosphere now.
Do you think as well, just to segue away from Eurovision for a second, to talk about that bigger issue there of attitude towards Muslims, is because we're seeing that most of the immigration into Western countries is coming from Islamic countries, it's coming from Muslims, and people that have lived in the UK will have seen, you know, dramatic change in terms of the makeup of particularly the cities.
They see that as the mainstream agenda.
So they therefore think by supporting Israel, who on the surface, if you don't look deeper, are pushing back against that, that makes them alternative.
Whereas, as you've spoken about in previous weeks, it's actually Israel that this mass immigration is coming from, in terms of the direction of it.
They just can't see that step back and the puppet strings on both sides.
Do you think that's why people support Israel?
Oh, absolutely.
They see it as a bulwark against the Islamic world.
And, you know, this is the thing about taking sides.
You've got the many, many people, so-called leaders among the Muslim belief system.
Who are now openly saying, you know, we're going to take the country over or, you know, we must have Islam here and we must we must have Islamic law here and all that.
And they are just as bloody stupid and arrogant and ridiculous and divisive as those that are supporting Israel just because they see them as a bulwark against Islam.
Again, it's this taking sides.
It's this, I'm not going to respect other people's rights to have a different view and a different belief.
I have to impose my belief on you.
And this is what happens when you have religious belief systems In which you are told that God looks more favorably on you than other religious belief systems.
So, we are infidels, from an Islamic point of view, if we don't believe in Islam.
We are not the chosen people.
If we're not believers in Judaism and the Jewish view of life, the universe and everything.
And you are a blasphemer if you are not believing in Christianity according to the more extreme levels of the Christian belief system.
And so these fault lines are absolutely perfect to play off against each other.
And it's, so all the way through history, it's been a perfect way of playing the population
against each other.
So they're warring over belief systems and who's got the best God.
And while they're fighting each other, the string pullers of all sides can go about their business unchallenged and even unidentified.
So we're only seeing the continuation of a process that's been going on throughout No Newman history.
To me it just feels like an adult version, or not even really an adult version, of the high school playground, my dad's bigger than your dad, doesn't it really?
It's just pathetic.
But I remember one of the key things you taught me as a kid was that the truth is never black and white, it's always in the shade of grey.
And when you're picking a side, you're making everything black and white, one side good, one side bad, whereas the truth is always somewhere in the middle.
To come back to Eurovision, we're going to look at the Irish performance, which was Demonic.
But if we're going to go back to the very beginning, at the first winner of Eurovision, Sandy Shaw, just to show the difference to what Eurovision was when it began, what it is today.
We're going back to my youth.
Sandy Shaw, she was the first UK winner of the Eurovision Song Contest.
Just hit me this week when I saw the Irish entry, which we're going to see in a minute, just not only how unbelievably politicised now this Eurovision Song Contest is, I mean, what's the point in it anymore?
It's not about songs and lyrics like I said earlier.
It's nothing to do with that anymore.
It just reminded me of how it used to be.
Now, the Eurovision Song Contest was famous for, you know, really basic lyrics and stuff.
I mean, another British winner was Lulu with a song called Boom Banga Bang.
And that's what it was like.
And you had a bit of a laugh.
There was one or two, you know, good songs came in like Abba and Waterloo.
That was one winner and it launched their career.
Not that they wouldn't have been fantastic anyway and massive.
Um, and so, uh, it reminded me of Sandy Shaw.
Sandy Shaw, um, her, uh, kind of little, um, quirk was, uh, singing with bare feet, singing in bare feet, not with bare feet, in bare feet.
And, and, uh, so, uh, she won with a, a song, uh, called, um, uh, what it went, I may win on the roundabouts, but Then I lose on the swings.
And it was a song that became a big hit for her.
Let's have a look at the difference between what we see now and what it was like then.
I may win, hop around and about, then I lose all my space.
In or out, there is never a doubt, just two spoiled little spades.
I'm all tied up with you, but where did you leave me to?
Ah, what very fun, say that, say that, there if you say good luck, I'd be, I'd be, yeah, like a puppet on a string.
Ah, what very fun.
That just looks like, you know, a bit of fun.
That just looks like a bit of fun and them having a laugh and enjoying it, which is how
it should be.
Yeah, and like I say, the lyrics were pretty basic, but there were some good tunes.
And it was a song contest, you know, what song do you like the best?
And now we're going to, we're going to see what it's become.
And it's It's an example of the way that Satanism and satanic imagery
is being pulled in to become mainstream.
And the target, of course, is the young, so that they start to take this stuff on into their adult lives as just, you know, just part of life.
It's not.
It's Satanism.
And here's an example from the Irish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest.
["The Real Love Song"]
["I Am The Real Love Song"]
♪ I try to keep up what I speak to destroy the feelings I have ♪
♪ I cannot avoid the twisted tongues that hang stiffly on you ♪
♪ Let all the pretties in your bed escape your hands and make you sad ♪
♪ And all the things you wish you had, you lose ♪ ♪ I, I, I am the real love song ♪
♪ I, I, I see the scars in your eyes ♪ ♪ I, I, I know you're the real love ♪
♪ I, I, I guess you'd rather have a star than a wound ♪ ♪ I guess I always... ♪
you What you were saying earlier about how Eurovision used to be quite basic, it used to be about fun, it used to be quite, you know, low quality in terms of lyrics and performances, yet catching up with the mainstream music industry, isn't it?
Yeah, there's always been an agenda in the music industry.
I've talked to people over the years who've worked at some significant levels in the music industry, and they have told me it's no coincidence or accident or musical evolution.
When you jump from one genre to the next and you're being given what the music industry, i.e.
the cult ultimately which owns it, wants you to have.
So, for instance, I grew up in the 1960s with with the flower power music and the Beatles and all that stuff.
And then there was a eventually punk came in and glam rock and so it's gone on and gone on.
And basically, who you as a music industry support and promote is who will be Who will be the big stars and who will dominate the musical genre of the time?
It's like the fashion industry.
The fashion industry tells you what is in, you know, the clothes that I wear are in about every few decades when it comes round again.
But it's like, oh, you can't wear that.
That's not in and all that.
Or you can't like that music.
That's old stuff, that is.
You're being told all the time what to like, what to buy, and how to look.
And you think you're making your own choices.
But actually, you're being presented with what you think are your choices.
And this has gone on all the way through.
And so here we have, very blatantly now, the button being pressed on we're going satanic.
So you saw, you know, the Irish entry there.
And this is the point, you know, Anything that gets a big audience is fair game for the cult.
Because, as I keep saying, the cult modus operandi of control is to control the perceptions of the population.
So we get perceptions from information we receive and imagery we receive and subliminal symbolism that we receive.
So anything that has a big audience, well, that's fair game, you know, because you're going to get out to a lot of people.
So the Eurovision Song Contest is always going to be a vehicle.
To start pushing this, this cult agenda, just as you have with football, professional football, that it's being used.
You saw that the Benjani Take the knee in the wake of BLM and you've seen all these footballers and managers who push the fake jab.
All these things like the Super Bowl is used massively too to push political agendas because you know you've got this massive audience.
And so you look at Sam Smith In the Grammys.
That's another show that was gonna get a big audience, and what did we see?
We saw a satanic imagery performance.
This is going on more and more obviously.
I mean, people like Madonna started doing this stuff some time ago, and others too.
Lady Gaga, all these people.
But now it's really being fused into the mainstream.
And it's part of this agenda, I would suggest, that once a one world religion, ultimately, I think all this stuff, I've just finished a new book which is going to come out in a couple of months or so, and I look in that at one of the things is why are so many people in the mainstream alternative media suddenly either converting to religion or starting to push it on a level they never have before?
And it's all part of, I think, this fusion that they want into a one-world religion.
Like, they want a one-world everything, a one-world government, one-world currency, just digital, not cash, and a one-world religion.
And that religion Well, that should be a form of Satanism.
That's the idea, because that's their religion.
That's the cult's religion.
And this progression of more and more satanic imagery being put before the people in big audience shows, is part of that perceptual preparation.
And like I say, the real targets of all this are the young.
You know, if anyone else wants to pick it up, that's a bonus, but it's the young they want.
This is why they're targeting shows that the young would watch and technology that the young would use, because they want to get them perceptually programmed into this new normal, which is basically satanic.
So that when they'll take it through their, their, their adult lives, because, you know, I was born in 1952.
So I have experience of a whole long period, building up to where we are now.
Um, which wasn't like where we are now.
So I've got a, uh, I've got a filter.
I've got a radar.
I can, I got a comparison.
I can see what it was like, and I can see what it is now.
And I can see the dramatic difference between the two, like Sandy Shore and the Irish entry.
Um, but if you, if you're born now and, and, or recently, If you're young, you've been born into this world as it is.
And what we tend to do is when we arrive in the world, we tend to accept, however we find it, that this is how things are.
So when I grew up in the 1950s and 1960s, I had an experience of how things were.
And as they've changed, I can see they're not like that anymore.
But if you're born into this, what's happening now?
This is your normal.
This is your normal.
You don't have a filter.
You don't remember what it used to be like.
And what you're seeing too, we talked about this in the Dot Connector last week, You're seeing efforts, not least through these Canadian laws they're trying to push through, but in other countries too, whereby they're not just saying you can't say this now because of hate speech.
They're saying that you have to take down anything like that, that you've said before, and you have to delete it.
In other words, it's Orwell's memory hole.
What they're doing is seeking to create a year zero.
Before which it's just a blank.
And then you can rewrite, well, my goodness, maybe you've seen the people rewriting COVID history every day now, these people.
But you can rewrite history once you've deleted history.
And so if you can take out not just different views posted now, but all the different views before, which are increasingly becoming illegal, then you can rewrite history and you leave people, you leave the young with only what they see now and only what they're experiencing now.
And that becomes their normal, it becomes how things are.
And that's very, very powerful in dictating people's perception and behavior, because they have no other comparison to make to what they're being told is true.
Absolutely.
I completely agree.
And we're going to dive into that a little bit further in the second half.
If you're watching with us on davidart.com or X, thank you for joining us.
Head over to iconic.com to watch the second half of the episode.
And it's there every week, Friday, 7pm.
We shall see you over there.
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.
