Welcome to The Deling Pod with me, James Delingpole.
And before we meet this week's guest, and or special guest, a word from our splendid sponsor, Thor.
Our Delingpod sponsor, Thor Holt, has taken a vow of silence in January.
Is silent January a thing, Thor?
I've heard of dry January.
And is letting his clients talk today.
The first client is the owner of a multi-award winning Scottish IT firm.
Managing Director Cheryl says, Thor is like Marmite.
Love it or hate it.
He's honest, authentic, funny, clever, and super talented.
We have laughed and cried.
He is just amazing at what he does.
If you need help with strategic presentations, I never go anywhere else.
Feel fortunate to always have him in my corner.
I hate Marmite, but bloody love this man.
The final client feedback note is a company owner who employs Thor as a non-executive director to help him progressively scale up and then exit his Yorkshire-based business.
He says, Thor, you're underselling yourself.
You do what you say on the tin, but better.
You absolutely turbocharged me.
Properly stalked my fire.
I like my Yorkshire accent there.

To the Delling Paul, with me, James Delling Paul.
And I always say I'm really excited about this week's special guest, but it's not a special guest today.
It's just a guest!
It's Dick!
Dick, happy Twixmas!
Yes, it's the Dick and James Christmas Special.
Something like that?
Yeah.
I was thinking about this, and I was thinking how sad it is that we no longer get our Christmas... We do our special... I've lost you already.
Filmed Christmas Special, where we...
You have a long filmed bit beforehand.
But it was quite a hassle, wasn't it?
Um, it did involve a lot of work and camera equipment and all that sort of thing.
And takes.
I hate takes!
Yeah.
It kind of takes away the immediacy and the authenticity of the whole thing, but, you know, they're fun and people like them, but they take a whole day, essentially.
Yeah, they do.
Do you think people do like them, or do you think people care, actually?
Oh, no, they love them.
They love them.
They still talk about that time you sat on Lemmy.
Ah.
Yeah, well, I think...
They say never work with children and animals, and I think actually the opposite.
I think that animals give you your best moments.
Another lie we've been told all these years!
Always work with children and animals!
Is there anything we've been told that isn't a lie?
Because I mean, like, I've definitely upped my smoking this year, having realised that the war on tobacco was just another of their evil, evil plans, evil plots.
Yeah, after my brush with imaginary cancer, I've kind of cut back on that, but I'm still with you on it, and it is always where the most interesting conversations happen, when the naughty kids leave the room to go and have a fag outside.
I wouldn't trade that in, but I do rack my brains for things that we've been told that haven't been a lie.
The latest one, That I've been getting a lot of interest on Twitter from is the big lie of mayonnaise.
You must have been through the mayonnaise rabbit hole.
No, tell me.
Oh, I'm really excited, actually.
Having said I'm not excited, I'm now really, genuinely excited.
I don't know this at all.
Well, I used to be quite happy eating Hellmann's and then one day I'm eating this stuff thinking, this tastes of shit.
It's just rubbish.
And of course, I read the label and 79% rapeseed oil.
And it's just like, well, when did that happen?
So, um, I don't want rapeseed oil.
Whip.
And they're all the same.
All the mayonnaises.
Um, you know, obviously I'm not picking on Hellman's in particular.
They're as bad as everyone else.
No, you should.
So, I tweeted it out.
Carry on.
Well, what's the first syllable in that brand of mayonnaise?
This is what people have been saying.
It's called Hellman's because it's hell for mankind.
Yeah.
Help is at hand, though, because a few people We're recommending to me this because what I wanted was a commercially made product because I'm not always in a position to have to whip up from scratch a mayonnaise.
I might just want to dollop in a sandwich or I quite like it on a pizza.
But you know, I want something in a jar that sits in the fridge that doesn't taste like shit.
And, um, to the rescue have come this company called Hunter and Gather.
Now, I haven't tried it yet, but I'm in touch with them because they boldly stuck their head above the parapet.
And theirs is made from avocado oil.
Which has got to be better.
Um, and they're very down on the whole... It's made with avocado oil?
Yep.
Because that's quite strong.
Well, I've yet to try it.
From the people who have tried it, they say it's very popular.
They're very down on the seed oils on their website.
So, you know, watch this space.
I will report back.
That's worth the price of the podcast alone, because one of my thoughts this year was that it would be quite good, if one got one's act together, to set up a company which produced things like crisps.
Crisps not fried in rapeseed oil or sunflower oil.
That would be good because... Okay, supposing, worst case scenario, that only 5% of us are awake.
Mm-hmm.
That's still, what percentage of the world, I mean, 5% of what's the world population?
About 9 billion.
I think you can probably discount a lot of those as Chris Peters.
But that is still a viable market, I would say.
No, I think, joking aside, it's a hugely viable market.
If anyone can actually ride this wave of people waking up to the evils of seed oils, then they're quids in, and they deserve every penny they'd make.
So this is why I'm giving These hunter gather... Hunter and gather, they're called.
Not gatherer.
Hunter and gather.
Hunter and gather.
And a lot of people have sent me that as a link, saying these guys are good.
And they were on the ball enough to actually say, Dick, we've got this, we'll send you some.
So, yeah, watch this space.
But...
You know, we're helping to wake people up on this, and it's yet another one of those big lies.
And seed oil is one of my New Year's resolutions, is to attempt to eliminate it from my diet.
Have you looked at their other produce?
Uh, no, I've just got the, um, so far I've been on there three different types of mayo.
There's a garlic one, there's a plain, and there's a chipotle, whatever.
So, uh, yeah, the question's interesting.
What I'm really leading to is, do they do crisps?
Uh, I doubt it.
But, uh, hey, now I'm on to them, I will ask.
Who knows?
With the right support, maybe they will.
Shouldn't they send us some samples?
Well, I think this is what's happening.
I didn't know, to be honest, whether or not the reaching out was an offer of a freebie or a here's where you can buy it, but I've got a feeling it's an offer of a freebie, which I'm never averse to.
No, no, no.
If it turns out to taste of poo, I'm not going to say it tastes wonderful, but I somehow think it won't.
Do you know what my best freebie I've got this year?
I haven't had it yet.
Hunting?
Shooting?
Fishing?
Yes.
What is it?
Hunting.
It is.
A day's hunting.
With a horse.
With a horse?
Who's supposed to be... You haven't got to run alongside the pack.
Who's supposed to be bomb-proof.
No, no, exactly.
I tell you what, Dick, it's so much better with a horse.
Never do that again, eh?
I couldn't jump over those fences on my own, but actually the horses, they just like... I could just see you doing this.
They do.
I've actually... That was a lovely picture you posted.
You saw the professionally done photographs of me on a horse.
Yeah, no, it was great.
I mean, OK, modesty aside, I don't look shit, do I?
I don't look like a complete dork.
You could have been a Stubbs painting.
I could have been a Stubbs painting.
Exactly.
I was thinking, given that we've pretty much plunged straight down the rabbit hole, which is what I like.
Did I tell you about the... I was about to say strange person, but actually he's no stranger than we are.
Do you know about blood?
About the different blood types?
No, no, this sounds like a good one.
Oh, it's a very... Oh, dick, it's so good.
OK.
So, it seems to be the case that many of the evil masters of the universe, or the evil... the powers that be, the Kabbalah, whatever...
Have a particular blood type, which suggests to me that they're not... I think it goes back from the time when, you know, they're not quite human.
We can talk about this in a minute.
Can we talk about blood group?
Like A, B, negative and all that sort of stuff?
Yes, exactly.
Okay.
And the ones, the evil ones, are the ones with the negative blood group.
Now, this person who told me this himself had the evil blood group.
So he said, you know, we're not all like that.
We're not all out to kill you.
But he told me something interesting.
He said, if you look at how the market works for, say, I don't know whether Joe Malone is an example of this, but it...
But it's the sort of thing that happens.
So you are some boutique artisanal product creator, be it you make a new variety of scent or candles or craft beer or skin cream or whatever, or crisps even.
And what happens is that, you know, you You become popular and you get your deal with Waitrose or whatever and you become quite successful.
And then what invariably happens is that your company gets bought up for a quantity of money far in excess of what it's worth.
And this should raise one's suspicions.
And then what they do, they, the big, big evil, is that they subtly adjust the product so that all the previous all naturalness is gone and they start putting evil shit in it.
And the evil shit is designed to poison us.
And this person told me that, for example, all All the things you spray on your armpits, and while we know that, it's full of aluminium and stuff, but all the... pretty much anything you buy from a supermarket has really bad stuff in it designed to poison you, because that's what they want to do.
They hate us and they want to kill us, albeit slowly, so that they can then sell us their bad pharma products.
And he said that if you drink apple juice or apple cider vinegar, and you gargle it around your... we should try this... gargle it around your mouth, what you find is that this sort of stuff comes out, this sort of foamy, sticky stuff, which is the poison that they put in our food.
Anyway, obviously I'm on fairly Insecure territory here, but that was the gist of the conversation from one of the people who's got the evil blood, so he'd probably know.
Well, even taking aside the more extreme Angles of that story.
The idea that a good, new, wholesome product is bought out and then subtly adjusted.
Even if taking the normie line, that they're just cutting costs and improving profitability, that's their MO anyway.
So it's completely believable.
And yes, once you take on board the obvious truth that they hate us and they want to kill us, yeah, makes perfect sense to me.
So, this has been the year when I... I mean, you and I, I think, pretty much went down the rabbit hole at the same time, didn't we?
I'm holding on to your ankles, pretty much.
Yeah, you're holding on to my ankles, which is good.
Assuming that is that you're going head first down this rabbit hole.
Obviously, yeah.
But if you're falling feet first, I'd be ahead of you.
Yeah, yeah.
Um, and, um...
I suppose it's quite slippery, is it?
Like a slide?
Generally, we're free-falling, aren't we?
It's quite big and wide.
I don't know, it's kind of an Alice reference, isn't it?
So, did you picture Alice sort of scrambling down a rabbit hole?
Now she's ten feet tall.
Yeah.
If you go chasing rabbits.
So, I think that...
As you know, before you go down the rabbit hole, you think that you've been conditioned by the culture to think that anyone who believes in conspiracy theories is A socially maladjusted, sad person and kind of to be steered clear of and they've got these crazy ideas which they've kind of... Or treated with sympathy, which is possibly even worse.
Or probably best just ignored because that's what we've been trained to do, isn't it?
We've actually been trained to have this This mental block whereby we cannot engage, we won't even go with their theories in case we get tainted by them.
It's like what the Americans call cooties.
Or maybe it's like going on one of those maggots that has the green death.
You just don't go near them, do you?
Well, even my own family, if I show them something I want them to read.
If I'm reading something, this is amazing, I'll hold up to them.
I get an eye roll and a no thanks.
It's sort of like anything that you find amazing and revelatory, it's got to be shit and I don't want to know.
I think it's a genuine fear of starting to go down your way of thinking.
They don't even want to start.
Which is remarkably similar, I find, to Christianity.
Yeah.
That when people have got problems, and I say to them, look, there's a solution here.
All you've got to do is ask God for help.
Send me a sign.
Just simple thing, but just mean it.
And he will deliver.
He will answer you.
And lots of people won't even go there because they go, mentally, they go, what if I become a Christian?
And I might grow two heads and I might start drinking cups of tea and talking about the Bible.
It's the same thing.
It's because I think that just as we've been conditioned by the evil cabal, you and I know, and everyone down the rabbit hole knows, that if you examine
Any conspiracy theory pretty much, apart from maybe a couple that don't quite work, but pretty much any conspiracy theory, you only have to spend 10-15 minutes looking at the case to realise that logically it makes so much more sense than the official narrative.
And that is why, of course, they have conditioned us into rejecting the conspiracies before you even look at them.
Because if they didn't do that, everyone would be a conspiracy theorist, because everyone would just be going, well, it's bloody obvious, isn't it?
Building 7.
Well, yeah, that's a big one.
Moon landings is, you really don't need to spend a lot of time looking at the arguments to say it's a fraud before you go, you know what?
I was stupid for even believing it was possible, but obviously I have good friends still who just think I'm an absolute freak on this, and that's fine.
You know, if I lost friends over every single thing I believe in, I would have literally no friends at all, but it's a case of not even wanting to peel up the corner of that page and have a peek.
It's just to sort of, you know, please entertain me for just Just a minute, and read this one thing.
No, no, don't even want to go there.
By the way, Toby, I don't want to break this thread, but at the same time, the thought occurred to me.
I think probably a demon planted this thought in my head.
But are you sporting the Princess Leia look today?
Is that what your tribute is?
Yeah, just because you've got to wear your fancy Apple things so you don't look silly.
You call them fancy, but actually they're old school.
No, they're shite.
Because new school is AirPods.
Which are designed to give you brain tumours and stuff.
Aren't they?
Yeah, so you keep them permanently in your ears.
Anyway, back to the point about the Christianity thing.
It is very weird.
I think the similarities between Christianity and conspiracy theories are so great that it makes you think, well hang on a second, there's a reason for that.
And the reason is that the same people who promote this general scepticism towards conspiracy theories are also the same people who've been promoting anti-Christianity, the war on Christianity.
Over, well... And those same people have little horns on their heads.
I mean, certainly since at least the mid-19th century when Matthew Arnold... Woolly, exactly, exactly.
I was thinking Matthew Arnold, Dover Beach, mid-19th century, talking about the melancholy, long-withdrawing rule of Christian faith, and he was worrying about it then.
And you think now, you think, here we are, we've just been through Christmas, and what do people, what do people know about Christmas?
They know about Santa, who's an anagram of Satan, and you'll see, I don't know if you've seen that Disney, you've seen that Disney thing?
Probably not.
Where the children hold up, the children hold up letters, and they get the Santa, and we're supposed to go, ha ha ha ha ha.
Because it spells out Satan.
I love Satan or something like that.
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
That's a funny joke.
That works.
Anyway.
I went to Midnight Mass this year because a few of the Thursday Circlers were saying we should do a service together.
Now, this is a two-part story.
The first part is that we decided we'd do a carol service somewhere.
What?
What's that?
I was just doing the charades.
Oh right, OK.
Two-part story, yeah.
So first one was a roaring success.
we went to Howe Capel in the Y Valley, which is the church frequented by Quentin Letts.
And his wife is a very talented church organist and choir mistress at this church.
So they've got a lovely, entirely sort of parochial setup.
But the church was absolutely rammed.
There wasn't a spare seat in the house.
And 10 of us turned up randomly to this fantastic carol service, straight down the line traditional, carol, Bible reading, carol, Bible reading, carol, Bible, and it was brilliant.
Oh, with lots of choir and dispersed with it.
Did they do the Coventry Carol?
Yes, they did.
That is the best.
Adam Leigh Bounden, do you know that?
Yes, of course.
They did that as well, which is quite a challenging piece of singing.
And I met Quentin on the way out and he said, give my regards to Jamie.
He was ever so pleased to meet me.
But absolutely the model of how the church can be.
Did he recognise you?
No, one of our guys had gone up to him and said, we're here with Dick Dellingpole.
And obviously the name rang a bell.
And then I went in and introduced myself to him.
I said, hello Quentin, I'm Dick Dellingpole.
I believe you know my brother.
Oh, Jamie, yes, could you give my regards?
He had a good long chat with him.
He was a lovely chap.
But he should have been very pleased with himself because he'd kind of arranged the service, I think, to some degree.
And it was how churches could and should be.
So, fast forward now to part two, when we all decided that we should make some sort of attempt at either a Christmas service or a midnight mass.
We hit on the idea of Midnight Mass at Worcester Cathedral, which, again, to a point, was lovely.
It was rammed.
The music was beautiful.
The choir, very high quality, once-in-Royal-David-City type stuff.
And then comes the sermon, which, up to a point, was fine.
He was talking about how he'd been to a shopping centre somewhere, and they'd got the nativity scene all right.
Not in Kyiv.
And the wise men were next to the shepherds, and Mary without the back doing something else, and it was an amusing little story.
And then, within one breath, he was talking about climate emergency, Kyiv, and Ukraine, and food banks... So the full bingo card?
Oh, I could have ticked the boxes quick enough!
You should have called house!
Bingo!
Church!
Church!
The inevitability of it all.
When you go to the cathedral, you're not getting a better service.
You're getting woke central.
Well, think about it, Dick.
If you were Satan, And you wanted to completely screw over the church.
You'd go for the cathedrals first, wouldn't you?
Yes, but you'd start with the smaller churches first, wouldn't you?
You'd work your way in.
But no, take... I don't know, no!
I mean, I think the devil thinks big.
I think he just thinks... Of course he does, and he's got it right in that respect.
And a fish rots from the head downwards, doesn't it?
Yeah, yeah.
So anyway, that was our church thing.
Do you reckon there are any non-woke cathedrals left?
Anywhere?
I think the cathedrals are probably all gone but you can still go there for the beauty of the buildings and I think there's still some good people among the clergy there who are probably just waiting for the time when their leadership can see sense.
Talking of which, can I just put in an announcement?
You know our good friend Richard the Vicar?
Yes?
Well, he has got to put on a service next month in January, and he's been asked to bring in an outsider preacher for the day, and he's got hold of Calvin.
So, he's doing a service, and a lot of us are planning on heading over for it, it's at the Holy Trinity, Norton Lindsay, which is near Warwick, on Sunday the 22nd of January at 7pm, so it's an even song, and there's a whole bunch of us are going to go down there, probably the same lot who went to Howe Capel, and beer afterwards at the New Inn, so good on Richard for getting ahold of Calvin like that, and wouldn't it be lovely if he absolutely packed out his church for that?
It would send quite a strong message, wouldn't it?
So, you know, double whammy.
Nice evening out, and hear Calvin preach.
Calvin Robinson, that is, of course, for the uninitiated.
Yes, not John Calvin, because that would be quite clever, wouldn't it?
That would be quite a coup.
Amazing, yeah.
I mean, with respect to Calvin Robinson, it would be more impressive.
But it's not going to happen.
I don't think so.
Not in this life, I don't think.
No.
No, that's good.
good um so yeah i i went to a few a few services um all of which were good because they were all basically done in local churches I mean two of them.
One was Carol's in our local church and the other one was the Christmas service which was fine except that I took baby granddaughter who had just got off, had arrived in a taxi from the airport that morning after a 18 hour flight or whatever.
And I said, do you want to come with Grandpa to church?
Because I was torn.
I was torn.
I thought, I didn't want to miss her opening her presents on Christmas Day, because Father Christmas had brought some presents for her in England.
Knew she was coming.
But at the same time, I thought, well, yeah, but it's Christmas and, you know, you really need to... So I took her to the... just me and her.
She's three and a half.
I took her to the service and it was all good.
The church was starting to fill up and we got into these pews which you can sort of lock yourself in.
And so we got a nice place in one of the pews and she liked being surrounded by people.
And then somebody came and said, I'm awfully sorry, but can you move out of that one, because I need to get that one to operate the equipment for the music, because we haven't got an organist anymore.
And I said, yes, sorry.
So we ended up moving forward to these fold-up chairs in front, right at the front of the church.
And this, I discovered later, completely freaked her.
She liked being with the people.
She wanted to be where the people are.
What a shame.
That was a musical reference, by the way.
I want to be where the people are.
It was over my head.
It's a Disney song, I think.
I didn't know because, you know, one daughter was younger.
Anyway, so then there was a little sort of area of the church with crayons and a table.
And so we sent her off in there for a while to distract her.
And then about A third of the way through the service the vicar started signalling at me because he could see her where she was and she was standing in this little enclosed area crying and I realised then that I had to take her out.
So I took her home and then came back because I wanted the communion because I think it's kind of part of the deal, isn't it?
You're meant to have communion now and again.
Yeah, all part of the deal.
And where are you on this?
I'm not sure that it is proper communion if they do this wussy kind of, oh, Covid type thing where they dip the wafer in the wine and then... They're making it up as they go along.
I want to smoke the wine of the blood of Christ!
They're making it up as they go along.
They made it quite clear in the Order of Service at the Cathedral that it's completely acceptable, and always has been, to only take one part of the Holy Sacrament.
And it's like, yeah, that doesn't sound true to me.
Yeah, they're making this shit up as they go along.
Of course they are, they're making it up as they go along.
Anyway, at least they left the option of you doing the two.
I, unfortunately, had to take my bread from the canon, I think it was, who gave the awful sermon.
I don't know.
This is what I was thinking.
I don't know whether they, this is what I was thinking.
Do they know that they're evil or are they, they just swept along with it?
Because I don't think, generally speaking, the church attracts the best and the brightest, like it might have once done.
Do you know who is evil?
Who's that?
ABC.
Obviously the list is endless.
Yeah.
But, OK.
Think TV vicar.
Richard Coles.
No, I don't think he's evil.
I'm just guessing.
It's a bit like the Yes No Game, isn't it?
Involving vicars.
Evil vicars.
Dawn French.
Vicar of Dibley.
The vicar of Dibley.
It's the evil vicar of the week.
Do you know how you know she's evil?
Because she wore an inverted cross.
She wears an inverted cross.
We've probably talked about this before but I think it's worth repeating.
So you then go into Google search.
Is Vicar of Dibley, why is she wearing an inverted cross?
Or does she wear?
And sure enough there is photographic evidence of this evil vicar wearing her satanic cross.
And do you know what they say?
They say it's the St Peter cross.
The Petrine, is it?
Is that right?
Which is really likely, isn't it?
So the Vicar of Dibley, this kind of fat woman who shouldn't have been a vicar in the first place...
She's not just a kind of your average woolly Church of England vicar.
She's really, really so devout that in homage to the most extreme form of crucifixion undertaken by one of the saints, she wears an inverted cross.
How does that fit in with her character?
I think that's entirely... that's completely fitting, yeah.
It's all hidden in plain sight, isn't it?
It's all out there.
It's all up for grabs if you just see straight through their lies.
Yeah, because the world is governed by the Prince of Lies.
When you remember that Richard Curtis wrote The Vicary of Dibley, And you think about his position.
There is not a cigarette paper's difference between his views and those of the World Economic Forum.
Indeed, he's an enthusiastic exponent of all the values of the World Economic Forum, the sustainability agenda, which is all basically the Luciferian agenda.
I mean, he's absolutely, he is balls deep in Satan's arse, basically.
He absolutely is.
All these people are.
I mean, we wonder why it is that there are so few celebs, let's say, from each profession.
So, we've got Djokovic from tennis and Pat Cash, which is actually a very high percentage.
I mean, two people out of... Annabelle Cross, pretty cool as well.
Annabelle Croft.
Exactly.
Exactly.
She's more than cool.
She's wonderful.
In fact, I hesitate to mention her name because, you know, she might get targeted for being good.
I think she's stuck her head above the parapet already.
OK.
So we marvel at the Freds and so on, but there's a very simple reason why there are so few, because it's simply this, that if you rise to prominence in the world of celebritydom, basically you've already made your pact with the devil.
I mean, Bob Dylan has talked about this.
He admits it.
I was thinking about that when he was Somebody was showing footage of Bob Dylan singing on Live Aid, and he looks really uncomfortable.
You can tell what he's thinking.
He's thinking, was my pact with the devil really worth it?
I thought I was going to get credibility and earthly riches and adoration and stuff.
instead here I am going feed the my turn the person personation is approximate but you get the idea and And look at... Have you looked into Harry Styles?
No.
Okay, this is one of the tests of how awake you are.
Where you stand on Harry Styles.
Because I used to think... Well, on the head, presumably, is the best place.
What?
I missed that one, sorry.
Silly joke.
Where you stand on Harry Styles?
On the head.
Well, I thought he was a nice boy.
If he is a nice boy, doesn't he come from Redditch or somewhere?
Does he?
Like Kevin Turvey.
Can we Google that?
We're going to get one of our fact-checkers onto it.
We're going to pretend we've got a team of people working for us.
Yeah, can you just check, fact-checker, whether he's from Redditch or not.
Anyway, so, I used to think, Harry Styles has just got it made.
I mean, he's really good-looking.
He can rock the most outrageous outfits and still look like not a dick.
Whereas if you and I were to put them on, people would just go, What are you thinking?
And he comes across as really charming and relaxed and happy in his skin in interviews and stuff.
And then you realise, because one of the people on my Telegram channel has done some deep dives on Harry Styles, and I mean, it's the same with all of them.
All these people are controlled by sinister gurus who bum them, number one.
And number two, make their lives absolute shit.
And they're all basically, if they weren't gay before, they become gay by the time that they've...
And they all have these beards, they all have these girlfriends who agree to pretend to be their girlfriends for the tabloids, and I don't know whether this applies to Harry Styles, I think it probably does, but... I can confirm the Redditch connection, I've just got Google up, and he was indeed born in 1994 in Redditch.
There you go.
You can see why he wanted to get out.
Do you know what I think?
It's like... This is another test, by the way.
What you think about James Corden's sing-a-longer-in-his-car type thing.
Mm-hmm.
And I'm old enough to remember a time in my life when I used to think it was kind of cool, and that James Corden, although one heard terrible things about him, you know, what a prima donna he is, really disgusting unless you're famous, in which case, you know, he's got his tongue right down you and stuff.
But if you're not famous, he thinks you're one of the little people deserving of his utmost contempt.
And, um, but I used to think, well, at least you're a talented singer, and I do love it when you sing along with these rock stars, and it's quite amusing.
And I remember him doing one with Harry Styles, and I remember thinking, oh, Harry, you come across so well.
And now I just think, these people, I mean, if it's bad enough for the boy stars, imagine what it's like for the girls, for the females.
Imagine, you're basically a sort of sex slave, aren't you?
For these really nasty, sweaty, older men who run the music industry.
And you're probably under MK Ultra or Monarch.
You've probably been mind controlled.
I mean, look at Britney Spears.
Look at, or look at, I keep forgetting her name.
I Kissed a Girl.
Who's that?
Katie Perry.
Katie Perry?
Yeah.
Katie Perry, who started out her career as a Christian and then admitted that she basically sold her soul in order to get the fame.
And you've now got that horrible footage of her eye malfunctioning, like she's a mind control robot.
Do you see that?
And the Ye thing as well.
The Kanye thing.
The Kanye thing?
Yeah, the Kanye thing.
The Kanye thing.
That, you know, well, I kind of want to stay with him because it's too interesting not to.
But he's he seems to be a cry for help, doesn't he?
About about the control that he's under.
I think there's way more to one role on that whole story.
The guy's too interesting to not keep in with.
Discussions like this are the cause of great dissent among those of us who are down the rabbit hole.
And I'm sure these things are... Do you know about Loosh?
No.
Loosh?
Do you know about Loosh?
No, I don't know about Loosh.
Tell me about Loosh.
Loosh are these... I told you I was hanging on to your heels.
I'm not there yet.
Demonic entities which feed off Sort of emotional tension.
I mean, as you know, when you get upset, whatever, angry, there are these demons which come down and feed off your negative energy.
And in a way, this is really one of the points of Twitter and so on, and chat rooms, and on a bigger scale, wars.
It's designed to generate food for these demonic entities who may well be the disembodied disembodied forms of the of the um of the nephilim and and all the all the spirit spirit bodies which are drowned in the in the flood um and it Anyway, whatever these demons are, they feed off your negative energy.
And Lush is... I think it's not the name of the demons, I think it's the name of the negative energy that is generated by Well, you know how when you're on, when you look at your emails, or when you are on Twitter and somebody comes, usually from 77th or somewhere, comes along and makes some upsetting remark, and most of the time you just go, yeah, I don't care.
But occasionally it gets you, if you're having a low, vulnerable moment.
Yep, you're caught, and you start engaging.
Yeah, and that's when they come in.
That's when they come in.
And I had this on my channel recently, where there was great division about various subjects, about Andrew Britton.
There was great division about, in fact, these are almost the key points of division among us, I find.
The ones that cause the maximum tension Generally have to do with whether X is a goodie or a baddie.
So for example, Jordan Peterson, if you say that Jordan Peterson is compromised, but I think he's a man.
I think he's not a Christian.
He's Luciferian.
I think this distinction does actually matter.
I think everything comes down to that.
Are you on the good side or the bad side?
But you point this out to people, even people who ought to know better, who've been down the rabbit hole a long time, they say, yeah, but I like some of the things he's been saying.
You know, I liked his, you know, stand up, sit up straight, stand up straight and tidy your room.
And it's helped young men do blah, blah, blah.
And they've, oh, and I love the way that he owned Cathy Newman and people, And you want to say to them, yeah, do you think you'd even be caring about him if he hadn't done any of this stuff?
Why do you think he did this stuff?
If he'd just been sort of crucifying cats, for example, you'd know he was a Roman.
But he's not going to do that, is he?
If he's a kind of...
If he's an undercover agent for the enemy, he's not going to show his colours.
He's going to do stuff that you like him to do and make you go, oh, he's one of us, we like him.
Anyway, there are lots and lots of people like that.
There's Russell Brand and... He was the one I was trying to think of.
I mean, that's the big... He's another biggie, isn't he?
It's like...
On the face of it, he's doing so much good for apparently waking up a much younger generation than we would ever reach.
But at what point do you find the fault lines?
It's inevitable that, as well as the obvious baddies, like, I mean, some people are so obviously bad.
OK, Bill Gates, Piers Morgan, Archbishop of Canterbury, the Pope.
Some people are obviously, obviously batting for the wrong side.
But it's inevitable that if you're the devil and you're trying to take over the world, you're going to have infiltrators in the good camp.
And also, it's inevitable that your demons are going to go, let's spread division and hatred within the awake by dividing them over the issue of, for example, whether Andrew Bridgen's Andrew Bridgen's change of heart on the vaccines, Andrew Bridgen MP, whether he's for real, or whether he's just another part of the controlled reveal psyop.
And I was thinking about this, so this almost actually closed down my channel, because people got very... I almost closed it down.
I didn't say this, but I almost did, because I just thought, what is the fucking point?
That you people, You are getting worked up to the point where this is the hill you're going to die on, over whether a backbench MP... Who you hadn't heard of before?
Who you hadn't heard of before, probably.
Whether he's sincere, or whether he's part of the enemy's plan.
Whether he deserves Christian forgiveness, or whether you think that he hasn't shown sufficient repentance and therefore this is a misrep... And you're thinking, Get a sense of perspective, guys.
In the great scheme of things, we've got a takeover of the world, as predicted, in the Bible, as foretold, in pretty much every detail.
This shit is happening now, and it's really serious, and you think, I'm never going to speak to this X or Y ally again, because they were wrong about Andrew Britton.
I thought it was so stupid.
And I mentioned, I said, this is demonic.
And some of the Christians in the group started going, he's calling me demonic.
He's suggesting that I'm possessed by demons.
No, I'm saying that the demons are fetching both sides and they are loving this shit.
And here you are getting on your high horse, getting all sanctimonious about something that in the great scheme of things matters not one jot.
I was astonished by it.
It does make me glad I haven't got the time to spend on your Telegraph Journal, because I do stick generally to Twitter, where I... I don't know, I'm comfortable there.
It's my place, but... Also, I have to say... Life's too short as well.
It is a massive time sink.
I mean, maybe my resolution for 2023, given that You know, it's all going to be hell.
Maybe it should be to just not waste time on my chat channel, because it's not like it's a job.
It doesn't make me any money.
But I'm venting my frustration here, but some of the attitude I get from some of my sharklings, it's like they're paying 200 quid a week for this service, and they expect better from me.
And I think, fuck off!
Uh, anyway, um, on another note, remember how good our comedy spectacular was at the Comedy Club?
Yes, I remember it well.
Well, Charlotte has contacted me about another one.
Now, I wasn't aware whether or not you'd be made aware of it, but it's again in January, January the 27th.
This one's in Derby, yeah?
And it's a weekender, but the same sort of arrangement.
So, it's kind of like a hotel-y type conference centre.
But it's billed as a kind of a comedy festival for the awake.
So I have agreed to go and do the job I did for your comedy thing, which is comparing it.
Oh, right!
Here's the line-up, listen to this, so far.
Katie Hopkins, Andrew Lawrence, Alastair Williams, Right Said Fred, Abbey Roberts, Gareth Ike, Phil Zimmerman, quite a few others.
And essentially, everyone's hanging out at this hotel venue for the weekend.
It'd be amazing.
I think it's podcasts and comedy.
And you know there's there's food stalls and that sort of thing so essentially a mini mini festival But I'm quite excited about it, but it's next month January the 27th which is a Friday, and it finishes lunchtime on the Sunday, and you can find out more details at comedy podcast dot live Now, Charlotte said, would James want to take part?
So, I can talk to you after, or you can talk directly.
Yeah, well let me think about this.
I think I'm actually, I think, I'm actually hunting that weekend.
Right.
Also, yeah, the other complicated reasons, which you know, why it's not, you know... Yeah, no, no, I knew it would be, well, not necessarily a long shot, but at best a 50-50.
But I'm glad it's happening.
Anyway, I'm going to be jumping on and promoting the heck out of it, because it sounds like, you know, God, it can't go wrong with that list of people.
No, it'd be brilliant.
I mean, it'd be fantastic.
It would be kind of like your London thing, but over a whole weekend.
And in the Midlands as well.
Yeah.
Almost the North Derby, isn't it?
That sounds, sounds, sounds like it'd be great.
So yeah, comedypodcast.live.
So, for those of you who want to investigate and get tickets.
And it, yeah, just round the corner, next month.
Um, I was, did you, do you have any ideas about what we're going to talk about, by the way?
What, like we haven't started?
Well, well, no, I just, before I move the agenda on, um, to, um, the big... Well, actually, it was a continuation, it's a continuation of how I started it.
You may not realise this, because of all the digressions.
It's a bit like a very, very skilled, um, comedy act, where you think that things don't connect, and then gradually... And the punchline brings in all the threads.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was saying at the beginning, like, we've been down the rabbit hole, um, for three years now.
Mm-hmm.
We've met... You meet people who've been down the rabbit hole since 9-11.
Some have been down there since Kennedy.
Like T.P.
Peete at the Freedom Festival?
T.P.
Peete at the Freedom Festival.
Yeah, exactly.
He's been down there so long.
I think to have that knowledge and live in Normie World for that long would drive you slightly insane.
At least we only had to put up with...
With being tinfoil hatters for this latter stage of our life.
Imagine if the previous 50 years had been... It'd be awful, wouldn't it?
Which is why all those ones who have been down there all this time, they say, yeah, welcome to the rabbit hole, it's been lonely, where the fuck have you been?
You know, it's sort of... Yes.
That's fine, and that's a fair enough response.
What I find is that you get two sorts, just as a broad generalisation.
You get the ones who are really happy, and come and join me, you know, come and take a pew next to me and we can share our camaraderie.
And then there are those who say, oh God, I know so much more than you, and you're a newbie, and you don't know the shit I know, or you, like, sort of, They don't consider you their equal or whatever.
And some of them, I mean, I even had one who annoyed me the other day, I suppose, generating more loosh.
Where, where, he'd said that he'd gone down the rabbit hole and then slightly come out again in order to accommodate himself with the world and he, and, and, you know, so he'd sort of, he'd chopped one of his balls off to, to, um, rather than go the whole, go the whole hog.
Do you know what I mean?
Uh, well, I, I think it's quite a reasonable stance to take, isn't it?
To sort of haul yourself back out.
No, no, I don't.
No, I really don't.
He was, So the dispute we had was over amalgam fillings.
And his line was, well, there was no way that there was anything conspiratorial about this, that it was just a kind of accidental thing.
And, you know, you shouldn't make everything a conspiracy theory.
And I was thinking, look, I can demolish what you're saying in 10 minutes or five minutes, in fact, probably a couple of sentences, but I can't be arsed because why should I be arguing with the with you about this really obvious point, and the obvious point is this.
Sure, it is entirely possible that when, at the beginning of the 20th century, late 19th century, these dentists from Europe decided, I think they were from Germany, decided that they would create this amalgam filling which was easy to insert into teeth.
Maybe their intention was good then, but you cannot tell me That in the, what, 120 years since, when so much information has become available about how mercury is bad for you and it really fucks you up, and amalgam fillings, there's so much evidence, you cannot tell me that the ongoing use of amalgam fillings is not evidence of a conspiracy.
Because there's no way that that stuff would be allowed in your mouth in any Same God-fearing world.
It would never happen.
So you are denying that there is a conspiracy, when there clearly is.
It's just objectively obvious, isn't it?
You wouldn't have the American Dental Association and the British Dental Association conspiring to keep going this practice which is clearly deleterious to human health.
It wouldn't happen unless there was an element of collaboration, vested interests, designed to fuck us all over.
But that's not what I thought he was alluding to in hauling himself out.
We can all live, walk and talk in normie world because we have to for spending Christmas with our families and things like that.
Like I was round at Mother's the other day and I noticed she obviously, she always has her Daily Mail there open and she gave a little impassioned speech about how she couldn't live without her daily dose of the Daily Mail and I was looking for them so I could start fires in my new wood burner.
So she gave me a load of her old daily mails, which shows that they do have a use.
And that's for starting fires.
But I was thinking, God, I've still got family members who read a daily newspaper.
And I can't believe what a relief it is to have all the papers and all the TV channels and all mainstream TV out of my life altogether.
You know, that's...
That was one of the biggest decisions I made about two or three years ago, but it's a no-brainer now.
I always likened it to having an open sewer running through your house if you let mainstream media into it.
But, you know, there's still members of our family who do it and think it's completely normal, so you have to... you have to walk in normie world every now and again, because there's no point telling mother she can't have her paper.
No.
Can we... fact checkers, can you check this?
Somebody in my Telegram channel said that when they were pushing the death jabs, They inserted into TV these subliminal messages saying things like, you have taken the vaccine and you feel so much more relaxed and something or other.
Just so subliminal that you know, you obviously, you know, one frame out of how many?
I mean, I'm prepared to believe it, but I'd love to know where she got this, um, where she heard this from.
I mean, maybe, maybe TV's full of that all the time.
Well, one they called blipverts at one point.
Was that in a science fiction movie or something like that?
And they were technically very legal.
Ah, it's the same thing, isn't it?
Science fiction, reality.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But... You're not going to be able to fact check, are they?
Because no one will be able to prove it.
Well, presumably everything is provable on some level.
Because, I mean, there's got to be somebody whose job it is to create subliminal messages.
I would expect to have seen a screen grab of these things flickering up onto a screen if that had been the case.
But I'm quite prepared to be convinced if it has been happening.
I think they do it in more subtle ways, though.
You know, they do it in a sort of like, you know, roll over on your back and they rub your tummy if you've taken the vax.
You know, other things that they subtly tell you what a good person you are for having taken the vax.
Yeah.
And as for Captain Tom.
Bloody Captain Tom.
You're not allowed to say bad things about Captain Tom.
Who didn't even fire a bullet.
He was a saint, James.
He was an absolute saint, alright?
Yeah, he was.
He rode motorbikes.
I mean, look.
That doesn't make him a bad person.
It doesn't make him a bad person, it doesn't make him a war hero is what I'm saying.
I think, if I'd been in the war and I'd ridden motorbikes in India, what did you do in the war?
Oh, well I stormed the beaches at Normandy, oh I was at Tobruk and I got captured and spent the rest of the war in an Italian POW camp and then I got shipped over to Germany, witnessed the bombing of Dresden and then escaped and fought with the Russian partisans.
If that had been somebody else's war anecdote.
And then I'd ridden motorbikes in the war.
Right at the end of the war.
Around India.
And somebody had suggested I was a war hero.
I think I would have given up my campaign there and then.
I said, look, I'm sorry, but this is a bit of an insult to my fallen or still alive comrades.
I wasn't in the game.
But no.
Anyway, he was manipulated, wasn't he?
Poor old boy.
Of course he was.
Nothing against him.
Obviously, nothing against him.
It's just like the Doom Goblin.
It's the people around her.
No, no, no.
The Doom Goblin is evil.
She wouldn't have started off evil, though.
She was bred for it.
Dick, she's Rothschild.
She's a Rothschild bloodline.
I've read that recently.
Is that for real?
Yeah, she is.
And also, she's descended from Arrhenius, who was the guy who first posited the bankrupt theory which the Greenies now use to say that CO2 levels are warming the planet to the level where we've got to install really crappy boilers in our houses that don't heat them and we've got to stop using cars.
This stuff goes back so long.
They plan... They've got the Rolexes and they've got the time.
They've just... They're schemers.
They're schemers.
I like that phrase.
Where did that come from?
I was building up.
I was building up to... So, you and I have been... I can say this about you because you've been clinging on to my legs and following me down.
And Hell, I think, has been... Hell was there before us.
So, here I am, James!
We've been on the crash, the condensed PhD, no, I wouldn't want a PhD because that would mean, you know, I'm part of the sort of the academe beast system which is just fake credentials and meaningless, but you and I have been on the accelerated course and I've almost reached the stage where I know what is going on and why and how and where this is all leading.
Mm-hmm.
Are you excited?
Well, what, are you about to reveal it?
Yeah.
I didn't realize this was a big reveal.
Go on then.
Okay, so are you You know about the Nephilim, don't you?
Mm-hmm.
They've bred with giants, angels and giants or something like that.
Okay.
So, in the Bible, we know that a third of the heavenly host rebelled against God, led by Lucifer, who was in charge of music in heaven when he was, when he was, um, when he was an angel, which is why, uh, he's particularly big into music.
The devil has the best tunes.
Um, that's just, that's just a, uh, yeah, devil has the best tunes.
Um, so the, the fallen angels then bred with humans.
And the produce of this union were the Nephilim, who were also giants.
They were the mighty men of Genesis and elsewhere, and they really were giants.
And I think this is the reason that the Smithsonian Institute has been systematically destroying all the evidence that giants existed, because anything that leads Sort of the curious towards the discovery of what's going on.
Inevitably, they want to stop it happening or reduce it.
It's a bit like that thing I mentioned at the beginning about conspiracy theories, how people, they want you not even to go there.
So, I think what, why would they breed with humans?
Why are they trying to create this hybrid It's basically to make up the numbers for the ultimate battle against God.
They think that somehow they can win this battle, even though all the scripture says that it's doomed.
They still think in their pride that they can do this.
Obviously, theologians are going to be watching this and going, James doesn't know squat, so I may get a few details wrong, but I'd really recommend you listen to some of Chuck.
Do you know about Chuck Missler?
No.
Chuck Missler is one of my new discoveries.
He's dead now, but he was a... How do you spell Missler?
M-Y-double-S-L-E-R.
He was very good on things like this, on the Nephilim.
He's done a very good explainer on Genesis.
He's just, like, he knows his stuff.
And his go-to text is the King James Version Bible, which I think Americans use a lot, as well as us.
But he knows it's Hebrew, and he knows about the Septuagint.
Do you know what the Septuagint is?
No.
The Septuagint is the Greek translation of the Bible.
of the Old Testament presumably done, and New Testament as well I think, done by 70 scholars and it was because Greek was the lingua franca of the civilized world at that time and so it was translated into Greek by the Septuagint who were the 70 scholars and it was a collaborative work a bit like the King James Bible.
I got that by the way from Chuck Mislin.
And he does a very... if you go on YouTube you'll find two special episodes on the Nephilim because he was also very interested in UFOs.
And he He says in this lecture that there is loads and loads of evidence about UFOs.
Some of these sightings may be by cranks and same with crop circles.
Some of them may be done by men with string and bits of wood and so on.
But actually Some of them are obviously genuine because of the effect of the radiation on the crops.
It's clearly something very strange has happened.
And he said there have been far, far too many sightings of UFOs by credible witnesses.
I mean, he cited astronauts.
I don't think he was totally on board.
I think he actually believed in the moon landings or purported to.
But anyway, He says, so you have to make a decision.
Are these creatures from outer space?
Are they actual aliens?
Which is sort of the Cliff High line.
And this is where I've now diverged from Cliff High.
I still like Cliff's histories of the world, but I'm not with him on aliens.
I think, and Chuck Misler thinks, that the The people, the creatures flying these UFOs are essentially the, you know, the fallen angels, the Nephilim and the people like that.
They're not from another planet.
And they've been developing this parallel, this super technology, because they've had plenty of time to do it, because they've been around longer than anyone living.
They operate in, I think, up to ten dimensions.
We've only got three.
They've got ten.
Which is why these spacecraft can materialise and dematerialise and stuff and so on.
So, this is a very long involved theory, but it is, after all, to do with... Life, the universe and everything.
Eschatology, you know, and biblical prophecy and stuff.
And what these entities are doing is working with the Satanists and the Luciferians.
They're readying for the final battle with God.
And one of the things that they're doing It's accelerating, of course, with developing technology, and this is why Starlink is evil, and why Elon Musk is evil, and this is all part of the plan.
What they're gearing up for, and for this bit, by the way, you should watch or listen to a podcast by Amy Says WTF.
She's worth tracking down.
I'll try and send you the link.
Amy says, I don't think she calls herself Amy says WTF, but she's on she's on Rumble and she does these these deep dives into these esoteric matters and I think it's called Project Bluebeam.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
Writing us down.
What they are gearing up to in this interconnected sort of 5, 6, 7G world where we're all obsessed with our screens and stuff. What they're gearing up for is this fulfilment of the bit in Revelation where the skies are filled with signs and wonders. Maybe
they'll even have developed technology for getting inside our heads and persuading the mass of humanity that what they are witnessing is a divine revelation, that this is the second coming of Christ.
And in fact what it will be is manipulation of our heads and lots of... So each sort of religious territory of the world will get an appropriate revelation.
So the Hindus will get, you know, Shiva and Ganesh probably speaking to them and the Muslims will get Allah and the Christians will get
Um, you know, Jesus and stuff and this will happen simultaneously around the world and this will be this will be the be the next stage of revelation where where people are persuaded that the time has come to have this one world religion and that and then then we'll get then then we'll get the persecution of Christians who will be executed or assumed into heaven depending on where you are on the rapture.
Obviously, I'm giving you a potted and slightly sort of sketchy version of where this is all going, but I think, does this make sense to you?
Yeah, well, we're told throughout the Bible, and I'm still parallel reading Old Testament and New Testament and loving it, there's constant warnings of end times and false prophets and, you know, that the Jesus saying, people will come claiming to be me, but it won't be.
So, yeah, we've been warned.
But, I'm thinking, well, I'm not going to be fooled by it.
I know what the deal is, because it's all been, we've been warned about it.
But apparently some Christians will be fooled.
At this point, I've got to completely lower the tone and say you've got to watch Warrior Nun, Season 2, because this is pretty much what happens.
The parallels are intense, honestly.
You will have to watch it.
I'm going to have to watch it.
Helen has enjoyed it.
Sorry.
Watch it, even if it's just because our sister says you should as well, OK?
OK.
And there's something interesting about it I want to tell you off camera as well.
Did you see the Detectorists Christmas special?
No, I want to see that.
It wasn't on BBC, was it?
Yes it was.
I don't get BBC, because they're foul and evil.
Yeah, it's interesting.
They do this to mess with your head.
They make it difficult for you to completely write off every last vestige of the BBC because things slip through the net.
Even now, even now, and as you know, I've still got the excuse of being a TV critic and they do like me occasionally to review a BBC programme and to Tetris I gave a nice review to because it was very very good and there was no
The only bit of annoying wokery was when they had a reference to the year 33 AD, which they called 33 CE, Common Era.
Which, by the way, is absolutely standard in academia and in museums and galleries and etc etc now, which is another example of the slow, the gradual chipping away of every last Vestige of Christianity for my culture.
All by design.
Anyway, I recommend that.
And I also recommend the series called The English.
I will obtain it one way or another.
The English?
Yeah.
Right.
Which is also on BBC, but it's also pretty good.
Is that a documentary?
No, it's not.
It's set in the Wild West.
Alright.
Okay.
Right, well, I've just seen that my family has returned from their visits to... Yeah, well, do you know what I was thinking?
I was thinking... Anyway, we've had an hour, so... A cup of tea?
That's probably what I'll go and do now as well.
Have you got... I don't make resolutions, really.
Do you?
Well, I kind of am getting back to that, because there's one thing I did last year that was really good, and that was giving up biscuits during a working day.
And I feel a lot better for it.
You know, biscuits and crap and snacks and stuff like that, and keep it for the weekend.
So there'll be that, and there'll be the seed oil thing, but nothing too heavy.
I mean, you know, there's enough going on in my life with the sort of deepening Christianity bit that kind of has the effect of making you a better person anyway.
So, yeah, I've got enough to take on.
So you want to be polishing your halo, basically?
Polishing my halo!
You know, one of the best things about the whole Christianity thing is it accepts that we're all deeply flawed.
So, you know, it's okay to be deeply flawed.
And that's your starting point.
Yes.
Look, I really, really think that it's okay to be pious and reverential.
But I think that A high on my list of bannable offences is sanctimoniousness.
I think people who engage in that are.
I think laughing and swearing and general banterish piss-taking, I think...
Take those things away and we do look like a boring bunch of farts.
If anyone came by our Thursday group, they'd see a lot of people laughing and taking the piss and swearing.
We have fun and absolutely one of God's gifts is humour and laughing and all of that stuff.
He totally has a sense of humour.
I think there are two reasons why I think sanctimoniousness is an absolute no-no.
One is the reason you said that actually this is an expression of God's goodness and actually he doesn't... I don't think he wants you to be sanctimonious.
But two, time is running out that we want to bring over as many people as we can to To the truth.
And I think that if we are too po-faced, we are in serious danger of alienating the people that could be on board with us and we could save their souls.
So... I mean, this is serious, isn't it?
Well, all I can say to that is Amen, brother.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh!
There's one more thing.
Hmm?
Which is...
Your psalm mugs.
Yeah.
I don't know how people can give us answers to this, but... So, Dick has got this brilliant idea for these mugs.
Don't give away the designs.
No, I certainly won't.
No, no.
But these mugs will have excerpts from psalms on them.
And I am in a quandary.
And the quandary is this.
Some of the psalms that I have learned are, for example Psalm 23, are in the King James Version.
And some of them are in the earlier... Coverdale.
About a hundred years earlier, I think, they were written.
The Coverdale translation, which is generally the one used by the Book of Common Prayer.
So the Book of Common Prayer in the Anglican Church, well certainly the English Anglican Church, is the standard format.
The Fowls of the Air and the Fishers of the Sea.
Um, in Psalm eight is the Coverdale book of common prayer translation.
I don't think that that's the line you get in the end of the King James version.
Um, my question is, should we, should we mix it up?
Should I fill it with what I consider the best lines of it, thus alienating our American audience who will only know the King James Version?
Or should I stick to the King James Version and thus kind of reject the Book of Common Prayer?
It's... I need to know.
My vote would be to go for the best.
Go for the best bits.
For instance, in Psalm 91 you've got a basilisk, haven't you?
Oh, what, in which?
That thou shalt tread upon the Lion and Basilisk.
Lion and Ada.
Lion and Ada, but the young Lion and Basilisk, I think it is, instead of dragon, shalt thou trample under feet.
Is that the Coverdale translation?
I think so.
There's a basilisk in there somewhere, anyway.
So, you know, if you want your menagerie to improve, go Coverdale.
But I think my guess is that we just go for the one that feels best.
I mean, they're both good, aren't they?
It's not as if one is a complete wrong-un.
Um, do you think that David Coverdale, who was in that heavy metal band, is descended from Miles Coverdale?
Because that would be kind of ironic, wouldn't it?
It would be good, wouldn't it?
It would be.
Well, I think on that note... I'm going to have to do some investigation into him.
Sorry, carry on.
Um, so, uh...
I'm really looking forward to the big event in February.
If I can make Derby, I will.
If I don't, I love you all and I'll never lose spirit.
And what else?
Oh yes, don't forget, this is how I make my bread now.
My daily bread.
I really appreciate your support.
It's massively helpful.
It enables me to stay independent and not to be owned by the forces of darkness.
Um, you can support me on Locals, and on Subscribestar, and on Patreon, and on Substack.
I don't think... oh, and you can do... buy me a coffee thing, and you can give me money... I shall not... I must give my bank details, but... but... but basically...
Whatever way you can find to support me, I really appreciate it.
And don't worry about all the different tiers and perks.
You don't really care about that anyway.
You just want to support me, I hope.
Because if you're after your special tier values, I'm not sure you're going to get them all, because I'm quite sketchy.
Anyway, yeah.
I think that's it.
Oh, yeah.
Happy New Year, everyone.
And I hope you all had a good Christmas.
Yeah, Happy New Year.
I hope this year isn't as bad as I fear it's going to be, which is why either way you should get God on your side.
